Lurking for Democrats behind domestic squabbles over jobs and health care is another potentially explosive debate: President Barack Obama’s troop buildup in Afghanistan.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) is offering a resolution calling for a swift withdrawal from the war. His office confirmed the Ohio Democrat will introduce his resolution March 4 with the goal of setting up a three-hour debate and vote on March 10. The liberal lawmaker has been in talks with House Democratic leaders in recent weeks to schedule consideration of the resolution.
The measure has no chance of passing. But the vote will give the White House its first register of Congressional Democratic support for its plan to add 30,000 troops to the conflict ahead of a springtime debate on a supplemental spending request to fund it.

I read a Facebook post today by an author unknown about a mother and 2 sons in a dollar store. The older boy had a package of glow sticks and the toddler was crying because he wanted a stick. The mother took the package, opened it and gave it to the toddler. The toddler was then instantly comforted and happy and began walking around holding this glow stick. He was happy and content. The older child then went up to the toddler and took the glow stick from him and the toddler instantly began to cry. The older boy broke the glow stick and handed it back to the toddler. He instantly stopped crying and was filled with wonder because the glow stick was now glowing. It was not longer just a colored stick, it was glowing and beautiful and this brought instant joy and laughter to the little toddler.
The point of this story is that sometimes we have to break and God will let us break in order for us to transform and become what we were meant to become. As I said, I cannot take credit for this very poignant lesson.
God created all of us with free will. He granted us the ability to do as we please, although we all know there are consequences to our actions. There are times in everyone’s life where they are broken. Maybe the break comes with an illness, divorce, loss of a job or retirement, bankruptcy, or death of a spouse, parent or child. But at some point most people reach that point where they are at the bottom and on their knees. It is at this point one of two things can happen, that person can give up or they can allow God to transform them into what He originally intended for them to be. They put their faith in God to guide them in the path they should walk. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your OWN understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Trust the Lord. “Trust and obey for there is no other way…”
Isn’t that a hymn we learn as little children? Where does that trust go, as we get older? Why do we let it slip away?
As you are on our knees broken and wonder what to do and you hear a voice whispering in your ear, do you listen? Or do you swat at it like a pesky fly? That voice you hear is your Lord and Savior and He is saying to you: “And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.” (Isaiah 30:21). He will guide you. You just have to listen.
God will transform you; just as the glow stick was transformed once it was broken. Matthew 5:16 tells us “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Psalm 51:10-12: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
We are transformed. God is talking. Are you listening? Are you praying for God’s guidance? We sing this hymn but do you mean it?
Guide me, O Thou great *Jehovah, [*Redeemer]
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy pow’rful hand.
Saying you believe it but doing nothing, is not believing. God will let you break but he will also take your hand and transform you, but only if you are listening and accepting.
Have a Blessed day.

Is a Harlow church breaching Covid-19 regulations?
Covid-19 / Wed 28th Apr 2021 at 07:04am
QUESTIONS have been raised whether Essex Police has properly investigated an alleged breach of Covid regulations by a church in Harlow.
On Sunday morning (April 25th) a YH reporter visited the Christ Embassy Church based at Unit 6-7 The Fairway, Bush Fair.
The previous day, we had seen an advert on social media and it raised a number of public health concerns.
We arrived in the car park at just after 10am. As we waited men, women and children, none of whom were wearing masks, entered the small units.
They were greeted by a man at the door, who was also not wearing a mask. There didn’t appear to be any track and trace or sanitiser in use or on offer.
We also managed to get a glimpse of proceedings inside and there didn’t appear to be any social distancing.
Over the next hour, preaching and loud live music could be heard. You could not see in as all the curtains were closed. However, we did record the music.
Because of this YH contacted Essex Police on the 101 system and registered our concerns regarding public health and possible law breaking.
An hour later, a police car drove down the road, did a couple of laps of Bush Fair area and then appeared to drive away again.
Some might have expected the police to try and contact the informant but this did not occur. They didn’t even get out of the car. If they had, they may have heard the music blaring out.
YH approached “the man on the door” who identified himself as Peter. We asked whether his services were in compliance with Covid regulations. We thought he might reassure us or inform us that his church service was Covid complaint but he simply responded: “If you are that concerned then why don’t you call the police?”
We told him we had.
On Monday, we asked Essex Police for a statement.
An Essex Police spokesperson said:
“We were called with reports of a breach of coronavirus regulations in Bush Fair, Harlow, shortly after 10.40am on Sunday 25 April.
“It was reported that a religious event was ongoing which was not adhering to the coronavirus regulations.
“A marked police car attended the area shortly after 11.30am but officers reported they could not locate the alleged breach”
Three days later (Wednesday), we have still not been contacted by the police in order to take a statement or to collate what evidence we had.
On Monday afternoon, we visited the area and spoke to a number of businesses. One told us that the services had been going on all year.
YH has passed the information on to Harlow Council and a number of other organisations.
YH understands that Christ Embassy Harlow may be conducting services out of a small business unit in Harlow but they are infact part of a global organisation run by Reverend Dr. Chris Oyakhilome DSc. DD.
Christ Embassy, also known as LoveWorld Incorporated or Believers’ Loveworld, is a megachurch and a Christian denomination founded by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome in 1987. The Church, with headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria, has since become a global network of churches with congregations in many countries, and approximately 13,000,000 followers all over the world. The Church has ministries in Canada, Nigeria, South Africa, the United States and the United Kingdom. The church has 145 branches of on five continents.
They have a TV channel called Loveworld (Sky 585).
Last month, according to The Independent newspaper, Ofcom reported the Christian broadcaster.
The article stated:
“Loveworld Television Network was found to have made the violation back in January after a 29-hour show titled The Global Day of Prayer featured sermons with “potentially harmful” claims about Covid-19 – including that the virus was “planned” and created by the “deep state”, and vaccines were a “sinister” means of administering “nanochips” to control people”
More details about Christ Embassy can be found below.
In the last year, YH has visited a number of churches, not to check up on them, but as part of our community and faith sectors.
We visited, St Stephens Church on Tawneys Road and their Covid procedures are very strict. This can be seen in their Twitter feed each week.
On a personal basis, this reporter has been to a memorial service at Holy Cross Church on Tracyes Road and again the procedure was very thorough.
Even week, Essex Police in Harlow put a message on their Facebook page detailing how many Covid breaches have been reported to them but they have refused to give details. We have submitted a Freedom of Investigation request.

Prehistoric Music categorizes all music that was created in the preliterate age (a period before any cultures had created a system to read and write.)
Because it’s occurrence was prior to recorded history, the origin of music is still unknown; however, some believe that it’s creation was stemmed through the occurrence of natural sounds and rhythms. Humans may have learned to incorporate these natural sounds into their music by using patterns, repetition, or tonality.
Even today, many cultures create music that is purposely intended to imitate certain sounds in nature. (For example this type of music is woven into shamanistic beliefs or practices. Another reason this may be used is for practical reasons such as hunting in wildlife.) i.e. shamanism is usually practiced in Siberia or in Sami groups where there music intentionally involves mimicking sounds.
Music during this era was very simple and had no written form or scale, meaning there were no harmonies, tuning, or musical notation involved, just simple sounds.
It was said that many ancient cultures used music as a mnemonic device to remember and imprint important stories and myths into minds. It was a common way to pass down tribal history, and is locked quickly into memory.
The first musical instrument that was most likely used was the human voice.
However, humans learned pretty early on how to make their own instruments. It seems that Ice Age men were also quite fond of music, seeing that a bone flute was found in a cave in the Swabian mountains of south-western Germany dating back 35,000 years ago, in the Late Pleistocene Era. The flute was made from the tusk of a wooly mammoth. Back then, ivory was the considered the most beautiful and extravagant material you can find, obviously proving the importance of music, even that far back.
Because music has been around for so long, it has left many to wonder if humans have been shaped by evolution to be musical. Charles Darwin being one of the people to believe so. However, this continues to be a very debatable topic.
With the preliterate period coming to an end, the prehistoric music era also disappears with it, being replaced by a new era known as the Ancient Music Era (occurring from c. 1200 BCE - 500 CE.) At this point, music is most popular within Greek and Roman societies, and basic musical theory has also been established. Of course, this era also marks the start of recording and musical notation.
As far back as 400 BCE, The great philosopher, Plato, was marveled at the power of music’s way of affecting human character and human emotion. He was quite concerned over the way that music could either degrade or elevate the mind’s of young people. He said, “Rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul…” -Plato 400 B.C.E.
The first written song ever to be recorded was found in an ancient city known as Ugarit, in Northern Syria, dating 4,000 years back before the creation of the city itself. It was...

BEIJING: More than a month after the outbreak of China’s deadly virus, the economic damage is being felt by more businesses and is threatening the outlook for the global economy.
In a report on Friday, the Federal Reserve warned that the virus represents an international risk.
“The recent emergence of the coronavirus,” the Fed said in a semiannual report on monetary policy, “could lead to disruptions in China that spill over to the rest of the global economy.”
Economists warn that the longer the outbreak and the lockdown of Wuhan and other Chinese cities last, the worse the damage will be for a global economy that depends on supply chains that link China with trading partners around the world. The viral outbreak has thrown the travel industry into chaos, threatening billions in losses and keeping millions of would-be travelers at home.
The Trump administration said on Friday that the virus may delay some of the purchases of US goods China is supposed to make under an interim trade deal with the US. But Larry Kudlow, President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser, said that President Xi Jinping had assured Trump that China would meet the purchase target. “Because of their conditions, there may be some delays,” he said.
Ericsson, one of the main suppliers of wireless networks and a rival to Huawei, is pulling out of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this month. The Swedish company said that because the show draws thousands of visitors, “even if the risk is low, the company cannot guarantee the health and safety of its employees and visitors.”
The organizers said that Ericsson’s decision will hurt the event, but they do not plan to cancel. Huawei recently said this week it would still attend.
Japanese automaker Nissan Motor Co. said that sales in China in January by the company and its local partners fell 11.8 percent from a year earlier to 118,143 vehicles due to the virus outbreak and the extension of the Lunar New Year holiday. Nissan said earlier it was considering reopening most of its factories in China on Monday but would wait until at least Feb. 14 for facilities in and around Wuhan, the city at the center of the outbreak.
Toyota said it was keeping its factories in China closed for an extra week, and will decide then whether to resume production. Toyota Motor Corp. has 12 plants in China. Honda said its three auto-assembly plants in Wuhan would stay closed through Feb. 13.
Japanese clothing retailer Uniqlo said it has closed 350 stores, or about half, of its 750 outlets in China, to comply with shutdowns of public transportation and closures of malls. Parent company Fast Retailing says about 20 percent of its sales come from China. British firm Burberry, which gets about 40 percent of its revenue from China, shut 24 of 64 stores in China, and said that footfall had dropped by as much as 80 percent. The impact in Hong Kong is bigger than from the protests, which had halved sales there in the last quarter.
L’Oreal joined the growing list of beauty brands expressing concern over the blow to sales due to travel restrictions that are reducing demand at duty free shops. The company said it expected a “temporary impact” on Asia’s beauty market, but past experience suggests that “after a period of disturbance, consumption resumes stronger than before.”


Hugh Masekela at WOMADelaide – Review, Interview and Blog Excerpts
Caspar Llewellyn Smith
It was a fine way to celebrate a 21st birthday: blistering temperatures, beautiful surroundings and plenty to learn from your elders. Some of the leading perfomers at WOMADelaide in Adelaide’s Botanic Park were more than a match for their superannuated peers in the world of rock when it came to demonstrating that near-enough eligibility for a senior citizen’s card is no barrier to putting on a show. For my tastes, the 64-year-old Jimmy Cliff on Saturday night was a bit too much the showman – particularly with his version of Hakuna Matata from The Lion King – but his contemporary Salif Keita was spellbinding once his band found their groove earlier the same night.
Keita was one of three leading acts from Mali at the festival this year, with a focus on that country because of the political turmoil and jihadist uprising. Vieux Farka Touré may always struggle to escape the shadow of his father, the late Ali Farka Touré, but Bassekou Kouyaté – whose family have played the ngoni for generations – is already well on his way to becoming a true star. His son, Mustafa, is in his band now, and took an impressive solo during their performance on the main stage on Friday night; but the look on his face later when his old man let rip with his instrument, making liberal use of his wah-wah pedal, told its own story. Like everyone in the audience, he just puffed out his cheeks as if to say “Woah!”.
Bassekou and co were busy playing throughout the weekend – plus there was an appearance from his wife (and vocalist in the group) Amy at the Taste the World stage, where acts show off their cooking skills, one of the measures of WOMADelaide’s civilised demeanour. I especially liked the sound of Novalima’s ceviche, and the band of expat Peruvians also excelled on the third stage on Sunday afternoon. Likewise Brooklyn-based Afrobeat outfit Antibalas on Saturday, whose performance was perhaps especially charged because singer Amayo had heard the news the night before that his mother had passed away in his native Lagos; and also Moriarty, a band from France whose parents mostly came from the US, and who sound like they come from the backroads, somewhere way off any interstate.
It was, as well, a joy to get a sense of the rich diversity of musical life in this corner of the planet. The festival began with a traditional kaurna greeting from Stevie Goldsmith and dancers and encompassed a bluesy-take on Aboriginal music from East Journey, who come from the Yirrkala community in North East Arnhem Land; also a performance from Sing Sing, involving acts from across Oceania; vibrant Aussie hip-hop from the Herd; and two of the most talked-about acts in the country.
If Stevie Goldsmith represents a tradition that is several millennia old, Melbourne band the Cat Empire who headlined the main stage on Friday night may well stand for the future, with their kitchen-sink appropriation of genres from around the globe, including hip-hop, reggae and salsa. Similarly brave, in their own way, were funk-soul champions the Bamboos on Sunday, who’ve added a bit of gnarled rock to their schtick thanks to guest frontman Tim Rogers. Both acts drew vast crowds in the relative cool of the evening (it was still sticky in the pitch dark).
With more than 470 performers from 26 countries appearing over the course of the four days, any review could only scratch the surface of WOMADelaide: there was also the much talked about “Blank Page”, performance art from the Compagnie Luc Amoros (looked good, even if the political messaging was a bit gauche); lots of buzz for the electro-swing of UK act the Correspondents (not to my taste, alas); the rock of the delicate-looking Algerian singer Souad Massi (inviting some dangerous-looking dancing as temperatures touched 40 degrees on Sunday afternoon); and Balkan swagger of that evening’s headliner Goran Bregovic.
Bregovic came within a whisker of stealing the weekend. The Marco Pierre White lookalike is a masterful chef d’orchestre, as they say in other parts of the world; he looked like the boss man in his immaculate silver suit, but stay seated for most of his by turns moving and then uproarious performance, letting his superb 18-piece band – involving, I think, a mixture of authentic Gypsy players such as the Kosovan refugee goc drummer Muharem Redzepi and conservatory pros including saxophonist Stojan Dimovget – get on with it. But for the odd moment when he did calm things down – as with a rendition of his hilarious In the Death Car – he mesmerised, too.
Someone at the festival (was it the band Moriarty?) said that Adelaide has the highest number of serial killers per head of population in the world. I don’t know about that. But on the basis of the dancing as Bregovic’s set came to a close, there were certainly plenty of bona fide nutters there.
Best of all for this reviewer, though, as previously described, was Hugh Masekela, who headlined on Saturday, but also hung around the festival site all weekend, giving a talk in Speakers Corner and guesting on the Monday with the Soweto Gospel Choir. He showed with his own performance how he has learned to entertain over the years – busting some dance moves, playing famous songs such as Stimela, talking about the environment (“Let’s make a resolution that when we see someone shitting on nature, we’re going to say ‘get off the pot!'”); but it’s when he blows softly on his horn that the real magic is there.
“Not too bad for a boy from a shebeen,” he said at one point, talking about his career and the distance it stretches from the township in South Africa in which he was born in 1939 – a phrase that might have served notice on his performance. But better came at the very end, when in the heat, he showed more effortless cool. The compere urged further applause “for a real legend”, and the 73-year-old, already half-off stage, yelled back: “No one’s a legend!”
Hugh Masekela – what I’m thinking about … a crisis for African culture
It is said that 11 of the world’s 20 fastest growing economies are in Africa, but when you talk about the economy, who are you talking about? The rich will benefit but the poor will always remain poor. In China, the economy is booming, but the poverty rate there is appalling; the US economy is the biggest in the world, but poverty there is appalling, too. So when you talk to me about the economy, in my mind that translates as “the establishment”. The ones who run the economy, the ones who own it, are the ones who benefit from it.
In my view, Africa’s real problems are cultural. In 20 years from now, when people ask my grandchildren who they are, they’ll say “it is rumoured that we used to be Africans – long ago”. I’m very interested in heritage restoration, and I’m working with a group of people to create a number of academies and performance spaces to encourage native arts and crafts and to explore African history.
I’ve got to where am in life not because of something I brought to the world but through something I found – the wealth of African culture.
Africa was not only conquered, but in conquest, through the imposition of new religions and the misunderstanding of the aims of education, and later on through advertising, Africans were manipulated into thinking that their own heritage is backward: primitive, pagan, heathen, barbaric. We need a renaissance to celebrate the wealth of diversity that really exists. Now, a renaissance is very expensive, but you don’t have to force a thing on people who already own it, you just have to make the space for it to show it off – you let it grow from there. If there’s going to be cultural advancement, it’s going to have to come from the people themselves, but they have to be helped.
It’s obvious that the rest of the world loves high African culture – African culture, period. Just look at a festival like WOMADelaide. But when people come to Africa they can’t find it that easily because the African establishment has no interest in celebrating it. Governments in Africa – most governments, in fact – are allergic to this because they don’t want to be upstaged. And it’s to the benefit of international industry that the people of Africa remain an underclass – so they won’t take ownership of the raw materials themselves. But if Africans recapture their culture they will naturally gravitate towards recapturing the continent. If they know more of who they are, they might not be willing to be so subservient.
It’s not just Africa’s problem; most of the world now has disappeared into laptops and iPhones and iPads. People think think that when they have these gadgets they are advancing.
Technology keeps changing the world, but music doesn’t change, it’s only 12 notes and six chords and it’ll always be that. It’s how they’re juggled that makes great music and great musicians study that, whether it’s Palestrina or Bach or Fela [Kuti]. But if you’re into the dark glasses and chicks with their asses in the air and in your face … I don’t know how much of it is music.
People talk to me about the rise of hip hop in Africa, too, but nothing that mechanical will last. The people look alike, and they’re wearing the same outfits, and they’re singing variations or rapping variations of the same thing. And yet the Hawaiians and the Indians sing variations of the same scales, but in there are beautiful songs, beautiful melodies. Anything that comes organically from people, musically, is what will last for ever. But what depends on a machine will always depend upon a machine. Until a bigger machine comes.
“Day 2 of WOMADelaide began with a talk from Hugh Masekela at the Speakers Corner stage. This is Caspar Llewellyn Smith again.
I’d actually bumped into the 73-year old last night, and asked whether he’d ever met Archie Shepp, the radical late 60s saxophonist, simply because I’ve been listening to his oeuvre recently. And of course Masekela had: “I knew Archie well … I never liked his music.” That led to a discussion about his close friend Miles Davis, which included a great Miles impersonation and the view that Miles lost the plot when he ventured into that Sly Stone/ Stockhausen thing of his in the early 70s. “I told him I’d come see him play again when he started playing music again.”
On this Saturday morning, in a front of a crowd desperately fanning themselves in the sticky heat, he was at it again, a little bit, casually mentioning his friendship with Bob Marley, for instance. But he can’t help it if he’s known and worked with several of the greats, because he is one himself, and a measure of that was his insistence here, talking of politics, that “the ordinary person is the hero of every society. In a place like South Africa, the real heroes are the unknown people”.
It was also a delight to hear Masekela talk about the importance to him of his school geography lessons: “we learnt how to draw the outline of every country, their physical features .. their products, their climate” etc, which, he complained doesn’t happen any more. It meant that when he left South Africa after the Sharpeville Massacre in 1960 and started his peripatetic existence that continues to this day – he has homes in South Africa, Ghana and California, though as he told me “I live in airports and hotels and festivals” – nowhere he went felt foreign to him.
“I don’t recognise borders,” he told the audience, but talked about the vital cultural traditions of Africa. “If there were no Africans in America, it wouldn’t be the place it is today – they’d still be wearing white wigs. Without Louis Armstrong, they’d still be walking straight, without a dip in their hip.” (Masekela, of course, once knew Armstrong too.)”

Field Trip To St. Thomas Mount (22nd January 2016)
Students of Grades 6, 7 and 8 were taken on an educational trip to St. Thomas Mount on Saturday, 22nd January. We left boarded the bus at 9.00 am with excitement.
The ancient Church on the top of St. Thomas Mount has served as the light house for the Portuguese and Armenian ships and vessels in the Bay of Bengal in the 16th and 17th centuries. There are 130 steps approximately leading to the top. Students were excited about climbing uphill. The beautiful view from top enthralled them. The church and its artefacts interested them a lot. The oldest painting of Mother Mary and a piece of bone of the martyr St. Thomas are enshrined here.
A visit to the orphanage behind the church opened their eyes to another world. Our students interacted with the orphan inmates, played with them and taught rhymes. For many it was their first visit to an orphanage. It was an emotional experience for all.
We returned to school by 1.00 pm. It was a fulfilling day.

A tail wind from the White House.
That's part of the reason why U.S. stocks bounced Tuesday — an announcement from the Trump administration detailing more plans for combating the coronavirus's economic impact, including possibly sending Americans emergency cash payouts. A move by the Federal Reserve to facilitate short-term business lending also helped buoy the U.S. market.
Top commentators, including CNBC's Jim Cramer, say there's still more to watch, even as stocks recover.
Here's they said Tuesday during the rebound:
Cramer, host of "Mad Money," encouraged investors to keep an eye out for opportunities:
"I got up at 3:00. Boy, the market looked great. It was like a bull market. It was going to make up half of what we lost [on Monday]. I go work out, I come back, and we're down. We were going to start losing a lot of what we even tried to gain midday [Monday] before the fall-apart in the last hour with the press conference. So, let's just stay focused on the individual stocks. I know individual stocks are all being brought down by the indices. The great opportunities — and, yes, I'm willing to use that word — come from the obliteration of the futures. Meanwhile, there are companies that are actually doing well. Obviously, there are companies that are doing quite poorly ... but there are going to be opportunities [Tuesday] because there's a lot of give-up."
Jan Hatzius, chief economist at Goldman Sachs, said much of the market's pain will likely play out in the first half of this year:
"We have made some sizable downward revisions to growth forecasts in the U.S., in the euro area, in China, mostly related to the spreading of coronavirus and the responses to that — in China, also related to the exceptionally poor numbers that we got for January and February which, to us, say that the GDP numbers are going to reflect the very sharp deterioration that we've been seeing there to a much greater degree than we thought. So, this is going to mean global GDP numbers are clearly in recession territory. A lot of people use something like 2.5% for global GDP as a recession criterium, and we're going to be well below that. The one other thing I'd add is that these annual averages, of course, hide quite a lot of variation through the year. It's really going to be the first half of 2020 that's going to see significant contractions in many economies, focused on Q1 in China, focused on Q2 in most other economies including the U.S. and Europe."
Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research, expected an economic recovery in the third quarter of 2020 as consumers end their self-isolation:
"When you look to second-quarter GDP, which we expect to show a decline but then to see a recovery in the third quarter by more than 3% because we believe that the self-quarantine will be done, there will be a lot of pent-up demand. Our belief is that maybe we see one or two quarters of GDP and/or earnings declines, but our belief is that the consumers are going to want to come back. They are certainly going to have cabin fever and [will] want to get out and do some spending."
David Katz, president and chief investment officer of Matrix Asset Advisors, suggested picking stocks of companies not as heavily impacted by the spread of the virus:
"You don't have to buy names that are in the travel industry that are down a lot. You can really buy a lot of businesses that probably are not being that affected. Companies like AbbVie and Merck, AT&T, are not being that affected. We also like Duke, Facebook, Home Depot, which is getting shellacked [Tuesday] on the retailer sell-off. They have a better mousetrap. They are a good long-term business. They've got a great balance sheet. So, we like it a lot here. We also like the banks – PNC and Wells Fargo. And the last thing to point out: You definitely are starting to see a lot of insider buying in a lot of places in the market. Insiders generally are investing for the longer term, and if they see an opportunity, they're stepping in. They've done this many times when you've had bear markets. A year later, people kicked themselves for not having followed them."
Richard Kovacevich, the retired former CEO of Wells Fargo, said that even if the United States does go into a recession, it won't last long:
"I'm buying a lot of things including bank stocks, although I own a lot of banks. I do think it's an opportunity. I think we're likely to have a recession, but I think it's going to be V-shaped. This is all about the virus. I mean, we're talking about markets and so forth, but job No. 1 is we have to get this virus under control. We know how to do it. Other countries have done it. And it can be solved relatively quickly. [There] may be a lot of disruptions in our lives to do that, quarantines and so forth, but this is not a financial crisis. It's not a banking crisis. It's a health crisis."


The AC series from 16 to 22 tons with load center at 1200mm represents our long experience in the high capacity electric forklifts field.

Supermarkets now operate seven of the 13 state liquor agencies in Stark County.
It was almost 10:30 a.m. on New Year's Eve and the line at Northeast Beverage was four customers deep and growing.
Under a poster of Billie Holiday, owner Cornel Milan greeted customers at the counter and rang up their bottles of Jägermeister, Hennessy, vodka and tequila.
Tucked into the former Kroger plaza at 1249 Harrisburg Road NE, Northeast Beverage is a classic neighborhood liquor store.
"I know most of them by name," Milan said of his patrons. "After 19 years in this business, you get to know your customer base pretty good."
BREAD, MILK, BOOZE
Increasingly, small, independent liquor stores are being replaced by large supermarkets.
With the opening of a liquor store at the Alliance Giant Eagle on Nov. 26, supermarkets now operate seven of Stark County's 13 liquor stores.
Nate Filler is president and CEO of the Ohio Grocers Association, a group that represents more than 400 food industry retailers, wholesalers, brokers and suppliers.
"The No. 1 call I get into my office from the retailers is they're interested in any availability of state agency liquor permits or a liquor store," Filler said.
At this point it's worth noting how liquor is sold in Ohio.
The state has a monopoly on alcohol over 42 proof, and sells it to bars, restaurants and the public through private businesses called liquor agencies that get a cut of the sales — 4 percent on wholesale and 6 percent on retail.
The state Division of Liquor Control decides how many liquor agencies it wants, where to put them and what items to stock.
A store can buy out the contract of an existing liquor agency, but the state has the final say over transfers, said Matt Mullins, division spokesman. Shelving space, parking and location are important factors.
"We're looking to serve our customers where we need to," Mullins said. "It doesn't do any good to have agencies all over the place cannibalizing each other's sales."
Acquiring a liquor agency is a way for supermarkets to diversify their offerings and attract more customers.
"It's about the convenience factor," Filler said.
Giant Eagle's acquisition of the Alliance agency gives it five liquor stores in the county and 50 across the state, according to a count of state records.
In a written statement, Giant Eagle said the Alliance liquor store builds on an "already strong beer and wine offering" and increases customer convenience.
"Consumer attitudes are now strongly supporting this," said Filler, who expects to see more grocery stores enter the liquor business.
"I think it's here to stay, and I think it's just going to be a matter of convenience," he said. "The winners in this will be the folks that can give the consumers what they want with good customer service, all in a one-stop experience."
Kulmeet Bhullar co-owns Phil's Wine Boutique, a small liquor store on 12th Street NW in Canton.
"Whoever lives close by to us, they'll still come to us," Bhullar said.
But Phil's has lost customers to supermarket liquor agencies because it can't take credit cards without passing the fee on to customers or undercutting its revenue, he said.
On a $5 pint, the store makes 30 cents. A 3 percent credit card fee cuts the margin in half.
Supermarkets can afford to take credit cards because they make money on other items, said Bhullar, who predicts that independent stores will eventually disappear.
"They're buying everybody out," he said of supermarkets.
Milan, at Northeast Beverage, is more hopeful.
His customers don't have a problem paying cash, and some people don't want to buy alcohol at the same place they get groceries, he said.
"I think you'll always have some independents," Milan said. "I think it will end up half and half."
Mullins said the state wants the best places for its customers to get the products they want, whether that's a supermarket or a small shop.
"There are very good agencies that are just liquor stores," he said. "It really just depends on the area and the store and the management. There isn't anything inherently better in the one type or the other."

Following the obligatory soaking en route from work the clouds actually parted just as I reached Freeman's Pools and some sky appeared that wasn't altogether grey. It was actually blue. A colour I'd forgotten existed sky-wise.
Anyhoo - a little grebe was the only thing of note on the very full pools. Looks rubbish for waders at the minute.
Similarly, all the other usual pools were pretty full and pretty quiet with just a single green sandpiper and a couple of snipe on the Wildfowlers' Pools, as well as numerous mallard. The usual release of mallard here in summer by the Wildfowl Association artificially boosts the numbers so it's quite difficult to tell when post-moult wild birds truly start to appear in any number. A single teal was present too.
Meanwhile in other duck news, a trio of shoveler and a female pintail were on The Flood - unprecedented this early on in the year.
The wet fields above the raised path had attracted good numbers of common and BH gulls, but no Meds.
Bumped into Nick, a regular down Aldcliffe, who reported at least 6 wheatear along the tideline.

PKPiR - methods and dates of revenue recognition
Taxpayers who independently keep records of revenues and costs at PKPiR may face the problem of when to recognize a given economic event in the settlement time.
Pursuant to Art. 14 sec. 1c of the Personal Income Tax Act, the date on which the income arises is the date of issue of the item, sale of property rights or provision of a service, or partial performance of the service, but no later than the date of the invoice or payment of the amount due.
In the case of recording of revenues, this issue is regulated by the Regulation of the Minister of Finance on keeping a Tax Book of Revenues and Expenses, § 19 sec. 1. Well, entries in the book concerning revenues from the sale of products, commercial goods and services are made on the basis of the invoices issued, and more specifically the dates of their issue.
In the case of sales not documented with invoices, the entry is made on the basis of an internal ID issued at the end of the day, in which the value of these revenues for a given day is shown in one amount, unless sales records or records using cash registers are kept. At the same time, the booking is made once a day after the end of the day, not later than before the commencement of operations on the following day. In a situation where the taxpayer issues many invoices on one day, it is allowed to record a list of these documents containing the sum of the amounts indicated in them - pledge of sale.
Such a sales statement should contain the following information specified in the regulation:
- date and consecutive number of the statement;
- numbers from-to invoices included in the statement;
- the total sum of these invoices;
- signature of the taxpayer or the person who prepared the statement.
In the case of taxpayers who keep sales records - they can make entries regarding the income shown in these records in one item at the end of each month.
Taxpayers who record turnover using cash registers, make entries in the book based on the data resulting from daily reports, reduced by amounts affecting the amount of income, or on the basis of data resulting from monthly reports adjusted by amounts affecting the amount of income.
The taxpayer chooses himself how he will keep records of sales invoices. However, in the case of making accounting entries once a month, the deadline is the 20th day of the month following the month of the sale. This applies in particular to:
- taxpayers keeping records of non-account sales;
- taxpayers keeping sales records through cash registers or making sales documented only with invoices;
- accounting offices commissioned with bookkeeping.

Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica Sports Car
Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica, originally uploaded by dovecotes.
Frazer Nash was a British automobile manufacturer and engineering company founded by Archibald Frazer-Nash in 1922. The company was founded in 1922 by Archibald Frazer-Nash who had, with Henry Ronald Godfrey founded and run the GN Cyclecar Company.
The company produced around 400 cars until the mid-1930s, notably a series of famous chain drive models.
They became importers and assemblers of BMW cars in 1934 and sold them as Frazer Nash-BMW. They were the official British BMW importer until the outbreak of war in 1939. In 1954 the company started to sell Porsche cars, becoming the official importer for Great Britain in 1956. This lasted until 1965 when Porsche Cars Great Britain was set up.
Eighty-five more cars were produced from 1948 to 1957. These cars were largely a direct evolution of the sporting BMW 328. In the choice of Bristol engines the cars were natural successors to the imported BMWs, the Bristol engine being a development of that of the BMW 328. Models include the Le Mans Replica, the Mille Miglia, the Targa Florio, the Le Mans Coupé and the Sebring. Competition successes included a third place at Le Mans (1949) and a win in the Targa Florio (1951). These post-war cars are very highly prized by collectors. The company participated in the 1952 Formula One season, the cars driven by Tony Crook and Ken Wharton.

The fusion of indigenous Australian produce and Chinese recipes isn’t common in Sydney (Billy Kwong pioneered it). Chef Chris Yan of Lotus Barangaroo is excited by that.
“It gives me opportunities to create new dishes; authentic Chinese dishes that we twist a little bit with the Australian native plants and herbs. They lift the whole dish,” he says.
There is a dish of grilled ox tongue in tamarind sauce and native pepperberry. And crystal ice plant is the main event in a salad mixed with enoki mushrooms and dressed with black vinegar.

The star of the menu is the garfish; a long, bold-flavoured fish served deep-fried and twisted like a helix. It is eaten whole, bones and all. Gossamer threads of sticky, sweet, red soy sauce (traditionally used in Yan’s native Shanghai) coat the fish. Australian cassia bark, a relative of cinnamon, finishes the dish.
Lotus takes full advantage of the view; most of its seating is outside. White, residential towers rise up above Lotus’s awnings, their curved fronts mimicking waves. It’s a perfect spot for oysters and cocktails in summer.
The Bal and Bye cocktail is a refreshing accompaniment to seafood. Made from a Chinese spirit called Hong Kong Baijiu, the cocktail is cut with fresh passionfruit sorbet and coconut syrup.
Lotus Barangaroo is the fourth feather in Lotus Dining’s cap. It also owns Lotus Dumpling Bar, Lotus at The Galeries and The Resident on Hyde Park. The latter is a total departure from Chinese cuisine – it serves regional Spanish fare.
General manager Tim Peterson is amped about the new location. “Barangaroo is about the most exciting thing that’s happened to Sydney since the Olympics. From Clarence Street to the water used to be all science shops and adventure-wear outlets. It’s like a whole new city has been created down here.”

Limavady charity 'now helping former donors'
A charity in Limavady has warned that the recession has left many former donors dependent on aid this Christmas.
Captain Joan Archibald from the Salvation Army said more people than last year are looking for help because of debt or fuel poverty.
"We have families who in the past would have been our donors, but who are now having to come and ask us for help.
"It must be very difficult for them because they were families who were used to a good standard of living."
"They are now struggling, maybe some of them are on the breadline, and it's very difficult for them to have to turn to charity," she said.

CRYSTAL, Minn. (FOX 9) - A Crystal, Minnesota man pleaded guilty Friday to killing his wife in their home in July 2017.
Dennis Sandland, 57, pleaded guilty to second-degree unintentional murder.
According to the charges and his guilty plea, Sandland separately called his adults son and daughter sometime after 6 p.m. on July 12, 2017 to say he shot his wife, Sandra. His son then called police.
Police responded to the couple's home on the 4800 block of Yates Avenue North. Dennis was outside the home, but he went back inside.
About two and a half hours later, officers eventually persuaded Dennis to surrender. He was taken into custody.
When police entered the found 53-year-old Sandra lying dead in her bed with a gunshot wound to the head.
Several times that evening, Dennis said he was angry with his wife so he shot her in the head. Family members told police there had been trouble in the couple's marriage recently and they had been fighting.
Dennis will be sentenced on Jan. 2. As part of the negotiated settlement, he is expected to receive more than 25 years in prison.

Citation: Possenti, A., Fratini, F., Pizzi, E., Fantozzi, L., Pozio, E., Dubey, J.P., Ponzi, M., Spano, F. 2013. Global proteomic analysis of the oocyst/sporozoite of Toxoplasma gondii reveals commitment to a host-independent lifestyle. Biomed Central (BMC) Genomics. 14:183.
Interpretive Summary: Toxoplasma gondii is a single-celled parasite of all warm-blooded hosts worldwide. It causes mental retardation and loss of vision in children, and abortion in livestock. Cats are the main reservoir of T. gondii because they are the only hosts that can excrete the resistant stage (oocyst) of the parasite in the feces. Humans become infected by eating under-cooked meat from infected animals, as well as food and water contaminated with oocysts. The chemical basis of oocyst resistance is unknown. The authors report biochemical make up of the oocyst. The results will be of interest to biologists, and parasitologists.
Technical Abstract: Human toxoplasmosis is caused by the coccidian parasite Toxoplasma gondii and can be acquired either congenitally or via the oral route. In the latter case, transmission is vehicolated by two distinct invasive stages, i.e., bradyzoites contained in tissue cysts or sporozoites enveloped in environmentally resistant oocysts shed by felids in their feces. The central epidemiological role played by the oocyst of T. gondii and the limited knowledge on its expressed proteome prompted us to undertake a global proteomic survey of this parasite stage, using one-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled to liquid chromatography-linked tandem mass spectrometry. The analysis of total or fractionated protein extracts obtained from partially sporulated oocysts of the T. gondii strain VEG (genotype III) yielded a dataset of 1685 non reduntant proteins, accounting for ~21% of the total predicted proteome. Approximately 35% of the identifications corresponded to hypothetical proteins, whereas 54% were classified according to the MIPS functional catalogue database. Importantly, the comparison of the VEG oocyst dataset with the extensively covered proteome of the T. gondii tachyzoite identified 211 putative oocyst/sporozoite-specific proteins (POSP), some of which were validated by Western blot analysis of oocyst and tachyzoite lysates. The functional profile of the POSP subset is consistent with the adaptation of T. gondii oocysts to the nutrient-poor and stressing extracellular environment, as shown by the preponderance of enzymes involved in metabolism (33) and energy production (12) or by the presence of a photolyase DNA repair enzyme. In particular, proteomic data showed that, compared to tachyzoites, oocysts have a greater capability of de novo amino acid biosynthesis and are well equipped to fuel the Krebs cycle with the acetyl-CoA generated through the '-oxidation of fatty acids and the degradation of branched amino acids. In addition, our data indicated that T. gondii sporozoites and tachyzoites possess extensively overlapping repertoires of invasion-related proteins, yet sporozoites express a broader complement of proteins involved in the formation of the moving junction, including paralogs of the mutually interacting AMA1 and RON2 molecules. Finally, the comparison between proteomic and microarray data showed that the stage-specific expression of a significant fraction of the POSPs does not correlate with different mRNA levels in oocysts and tachyzoites, suggesting the existence of post-transcriptional control mechanisms.

From: Aegean, Turkey
Blend: Karasakız (60%), Cabernet Sauvignon (30%), and Çalkarası (10%)
Taste: A captivating bouquet of ripe black cherry and raspberry greet the senses, infused with the subtle nuances of exotic spices and dried herbs. On the palate, the Karasakız lends softness and a delightful, Beaujolais-esque vibe to the wine while the Cabernet Sauvignon imparts structure and an undercurrent of cassis. The Çalkarası adds a final touch, contributing a hint of juicy acidity and a whisper of peach and rose aromas. This light to medium-bodied blend strikes an excellent balance between fruit, acidity, and tannin, resulting in an approachable yet intriguing wine (chill down a touch, especially during the summer months).
Pairing: Given the fresh, fruit-forward character of the 2021 Pasaeli House Red, it would pair well with a variety of dishes that highlight similar flavor profiles. A classic Turkish kebab, featuring marinated grilled beef skewers, would harmonize beautifully with the wine's fruitiness and underlying spice tones (J. Kenji López-Alt has a recipe for a vegan version with sumac onions and a garlic-dill mayonnaise). The wine's medium body and soft tannins would complement the protein without overwhelming it. Other dishes that would be wonderful alongside this wine include lamb and eggplant pide, spiced lamb meatballs with yogurt and herbs, smoky eggplant salads with yogurt and mint, spinach and feta boreks and lamb boreks (check out David Tanis’ recipe below).
Turkish-Style Lamb Boreks
By David Tanis
About. Turkey, an ancient wine country bridging Eastern Europe and Western Asia, has an illustrious and deeply rooted history in viticulture. The country's wine narrative goes as far back as Noah's time when, as local legend has it, he planted the first vines on the slopes of Mount Ararat. This historic legacy has given Turkey a vast gene pool of grapes, boasting over 600 indigenous varieties. Today, we explore an intriguing wine that embodies Turkey's rich viticulture: the 2021 Pasaeli House Red from the Aegean region.
Crafted by the family-owned Pasaeli wine estate, the 2021 House Red marries three grape varieties: Karasakız (60%), Cabernet Sauvignon (30%), and Çalkarası (10%). This selection captures the multifaceted terroir of the Aegean region, expressing all its rich diversity. Each grape variety hails from a unique terroir and is fermented using native yeast, creating an elegant blend that speaks of the region's distinct character. This blend is a fresh, fruit-forward delight that would not be out of place in the bustling bistros of Istanbul and beyond.
The Pasaeli estate was founded in 2000 by Seyit Karagözoğlu, a native of İzmir who nurtured a deep appreciation for agriculture and a passion for wine from an early age. Having spent a decade as a wine importer, Seyit recognized Turkey's ideal conditions for grape growing. This led him to establish Pasaeli, planting indigenous varieties like Sultaniye, Yapıncak, Çalkarası, and Karasakız in the Aegean region, along with Bordeaux varieties near İzmir. These wines are not only well-balanced and expertly crafted but also offer great value.
Two key figures in the wine world, Michael and Harmon Skurnik, met Seyit at an event at Vinitaly. They became so enthralled with his lineup of Turkish wines that they couldn't resist adding them to their portfolio. The majority of Pasaeli wines are crafted from indigenous Turkish varieties, with the addition of a Bordeaux blend. These wines have eye-catching labels, detailed descriptions, and are fairly priced, offering excellent value for wine enthusiasts.
Let's delve deeper into the indigenous grape varieties featured in the 2021 House Red blend: Karasakız and Çalkarası.
Karasakiz, also known as "Kuntra", is a native Turkish grape variety occasionally found in Greece. It is known for producing light-bodied, soft red wines that offer a symphony of candied berry fruit flavors. While Karasakız's place in Turkish wine culture has been largely overtaken by more robust French varieties like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, it still shines in blends like the Pasaeli House Red. Some recommended food pairings for Karasakız wines include roasted eggplant with haloumi, marinated grilled-beef skewers, and pasta with tomatoes and black olives.
Çalkarası, on the other hand, is an obscure grape variety that originates from the Çal district of Denizli, located in the southwestern Aegean region of Turkey. It typically produces juicy, moderately acidic rosé wines with aromas of peach and rose and straightforward flavors of strawberry and raspberry. Although it is commonly used to make rosé, Çal Karasi also contributes to light red wines and is sometimes found in a sparkling rosé variant. A Turkish-inspired raspberry roll cake or a simple paprika fish stew would make a perfect pair with a Çal Karasi rosé.
The Pasaeli House Red comes from the Aegean Coast, a region that claims more than half of Turkey's wine production. The coastal area enjoys a moderate Mediterranean climate, but the higher altitudes inland offer a more continental ambiance. The region grows an array of native varieties along with international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot.
While Turkey's wine production is currently dwarfed by other major wine countries, there is growing interest in its indigenous wines. A new generation of boutique wineries, like Pasaeli, are beginning to make their mark in the industry. As Lillian Lai, vice president of House of Burgundy, points out, "wine enthusiasts are eager to discover new indigenous grapes." The story of Turkish wine is still unfolding, and wines like the 2021 Pasaeli House Red continue to unveil the unique characters and bold personalities of Turkish wines to the world.

Women's Golf Wins PING/ASU Invitational
April 3, 2005
TEMPE, Ariz. -
The seventh-ranked Arizona State University women's golf team won the PING/ASU Invitational for the first time in six years, earning the tiebreaker over the second-ranked UCLA Bruins in the event, which was held April 1-3 at the par 72, 6,230-yard ASU Karsten Golf Course.
The victory is the third tournament win of the season for the Sun Devils and the first in their own event since 1999. ASU carded an even-par 288 on Sunday for a three-round total of six-over 870 to tie for first with UCLA, but the Sun Devils captured the tournament title by virtue of their fifth individual score (73 for ASU, 80 for UCLA). Pepperdine (888), Arizona (891) and California (894) rounded out the top five teams.
Freshman Louise Stahle won her second tournament title of the year for ASU, finishing with a three-round total of seven-under 209 (70-68-71). Stahle captured the three-stroke victory over UCLA's Amie Cochran (71-71-70=212) and was honored with the Anne Votik Award as the top freshman in the tournament.
Stahle was joined in the top 10 by sophomore Tiffany Tavee who finished sixth with a three-round total of one-over 217 (74-71-72) and senior Erin Tone who placed seventh at two-over 218 (74-72-72). Junior Alissa Kuczka finished in a tie for 34th at 10-over 226 (77-76-73), while sophomore Charmaine Erasmus tied for 46th (78-78-73).
Sun Devil individuals included sophomore Lindsay Anderson (79-74-73) and freshman Brooke Todare (75-75-76) who both tied for 34th at 10-over 226, and senior Nicole Deacon who finished in a tie for 75th (81-80-77=238).

Our eyes are constantly making saccades, or little jumps. Yet the world appears to us as a smooth whole. Somehow, the brain's visual system "knows" where the eyes are about to move and is able to adjust for that movement. In a paper published online this week in Nature, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and the National Eye Institute (NEI) for the first time provide a circuit-level explanation as to why.
"This is a classic problem in neuroscience," says Marc Sommer, assistant professor of neuroscience at Pitt, who coauthored the paper with Robert Wurtz, senior investigator at NEI, one of the National Institutes of Health. "People have been searching for a circuit to accomplish this stability for the last 50 years, and we think we've made good progress with this study."
In 1950, Nobel laureate Roger Sperry hypothesized that when the brain commands the eyes to move, it also sends a corollary discharge, or internal copy, of that command to the visual system. Sommer and Wurtz showed in a 2002 Science paper that a pathway from brainstem to frontal cortex conveys a corollary discharge signal in the brains of monkeys. They suggested that this pathway might cause visual neurons of the cortex to suddenly shift their receptive field--their window on the world--just before a saccade. Such neurons with shifting receptive fields had been discovered by Pitt Professor of Neuroscience Carol Colby and colleagues in 1992.
In their current paper, which will be published in the Nov. 16 print edition of Nature, Sommer and Wurtz completed the circuit. They showed that the receptive fields in cortex are shifted because of the corollary discharge from the brainstem. To do this, they exploited the fact that the signals are relayed via the thalamus, a crucial intermediary. By knocking out the relay neurons, they interrupted the pathway. They found that receptive field shifts were curtailed by more than half.
A similar circuit is likely to exist in human brains, the researchers say. With this study, Sommer and Wurtz also provide a framework for studying corollary discharge in other sensory systems, such as hearing: Even when you move your head around, you still hear sounds around you as coming from the same place.
In future studies, Sommer and his graduate students at Pitt will perform the first direct test of the visual stability hypothesis. To determine whether shifting receptive fields are responsible for visual stability, the shifts will be disrupted in monkeys trained to detect visual motion. The monkeys could then report whether their world appears to be moving around abnormally as eye movements are made.

What does a Duke, a Former Street Doctor & Prostitute and A Pimp with a very big gun have to do with one another in 21st City of Detroit?
Find out in Tanner's Devil.
Can an urban woman find love in a world not her own? Or give it up and accept her fate with her ex-pimp?
Tanner is an ex-prostitute whose ex-boyfriend, Donatello, was also her pimp. Even though she has left the business, he is trying to persuade her to return. She thinks he just wants her back in the business, but he actually wants her back in his life as well. Tanner finds herself in a rare predicament when she needs to come up with an outrageous amount of money. Does she find the money legitimately, or does she take Donatello up on his offer?
At age 33, Devlin Sanchez is a virgin and has vowed to save himself for marriage. When he catches his bride and his brother together, all of that goes out the window. He finds himself in the arms of Tanner and once the night is over, he is left wanting more. Has Tanner added more drama to her life, and does Devlin know he has a fight on his hands?
TANNER'S DEVIL was a good read. It was very fast-paced and filled with drama. The author does a good job of drawing the reader in from the first page. The characters are so real to life; it makes them easy to relate to.

22oz brown bomber. Pours a slightly chill-hazed, rich golden colored beer, crowned with a super creamy, white foam head with some great stick and retention.
Big, earthy, raw, floral, definitely dry-hopped aroma w/ a spicy herbal back and notes of candy and toasty malts. Mild esters initially, but they become a bit more pronounced--fruity and floral--later. Alcohol is lurking, but indeed there.
Nice hop bite upfront, beneath a creamy and smooth palate and medium-body. Hop character is a bit prickly, spicy, herbal, with a slight resiny stick and underlying citric and pronounced floral presence. Grassy at times. Crisp wheat edge, with some husky tannins as things warm. Some fruity esters in the middle. Bready malts follow, with a hint of caramel in a candy-like sweetness that segues into a peppery alcohol finish that teeters on boozy; warming. Very bready in the finish, with powdery malts, hay, some residual sweetness and hop spiciness. Dry, but not overly.
Interesting brew. Perhaps more of a Wheatwine, maybe? I'll leave that up to Southern Tier. Big, but delicate. Complex, but overall pretty damn well-balanced. Hops are well-played, distinct, but never overwhelm. That 8% is well-hidden too.
This redefines the standard, and often boring, American wheat summer seasonal, but it's certainly not as sessionable. Most definitely worth a try.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but probably over 3 years old. Pours hazy golden orange color with a 1 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Slight spotty lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of honey, wheat, bread, light caramel, grapefruit, orange, floral, grass, pepper, clove, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of malt and hop notes; with solid strength. Some light oxidation is present, but not bad. Taste of honey, wheat, bread, light caramel, floral, orange, grapefruit, grass, pepper, clove, and earthy yeast spiciness. Good amount of earthy pepper spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of honey, wheat, bread, citrus, floral, grass pepper, clove, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Light oxidation present in the taste as well, but not bad. Very nice balance of malt and hop flavors; with good malt/spiciness balance and no cloying flavors after the finish. Light carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a creamy and slick mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this a very good imperial wheat beer, even with the age. Good balance of malt, hop, and spicy flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
