I'm a sucker for a good porter. I don't know what attracts me to this simple style of ale but I can't get enough of Porters. I bought this at State Line Liquors back in January after the holidays. I managed to save one to review and figured I would get it done before it gets to old.
The beer pours a very dark brown almost completely opaque with just a slight hint of ruby hues peeking through the edge of the glass and a very rich tan head.
The nose is very nice with rich roasted malt aromas with notes of oaky notes of cocoa.
Ahhh.. what a great first sip; pleasantly smooth, rich and satisfying. The experience starts out with a dark malt sweetness up front on the tongue followed by a smooth mouthfeel as the ale rolls over the tongue in the middle of the sip. The back-end is very easy drinking with just a slight hesitation at the top of the swallow. The finish is fantastic with rich but smooth, sweet roasted malt flavors followed by notes of chocolate with a touch of oakiness. The final aftertastes of roasted malts stay with you leaving you with a very satisfied experience. What a nice Porter. And like I said I'm a sucker for a good Porter.
The roasted malt flavors are perfect; dark and rich flavors without that overly backed roasted malt bitterness that you sometimes get in a Porter or Stout. Needless to say, I am very impressed with this beer.
As the beer warms it seems to get richer and smoother but still does not get bitter.
I'm going for an A for sure on this one, maybe even an A+. This may be my new favorite American Porter.
Before I get into my final impression I must comment about the lacing. The head on the beer never completely diminished and left some very impressive lacing on the glass.
A | New Belgium Portage is an excellent American Porter, smooth rich and satisfying with exceptionally dark roasted malt flavors followed by an almost silky smooth mouthfeel with a satisfying rich finish with notes of oak and chocolate.
A "double strength" version of classic Belgian-style "white" ale. A deceptively light ale spiced with Curacao Orange Peel and coriander seed.
I picked up a six pack few weeks ago and saved one to review. No special background, I'm just ready for another review.
The beer pours a hazy straw with golden hues and a modest bright white head.
The nose is nice with classic Belgian yeasty aromas with notes of clove and spice.
That was a very nice first sip; almost warming but very refreshing. The sip starts out with a very non-descript touch of sweetness up front on the tongue followed by a cleansing effervescence as the ale washes over the tongue in the middle of the sip. The back-end is very easy drinking with an effortless swallow including a carbonation release that continues to mask any flavors. The finish is great; clean crisp and refreshing with light wheat malt sweetness followed by yeasty notes of citrus and peppery spice. There is very little of a final aftertaste just a hint of those yeasty notes.
The subtle complexity is very interesting. With each sip I'm picking up more flavors; citrus, clove and spice on that one.
This beer has a very light and refreshing mouthfeel. It is very clean and refreshing but also leaves a hint of warming; Very Nice.
As the beer warms it seems to be more filling and more robust but still maintains a light mouthfeel. I know that sounds odd. I guess it's just more flavorful as it warms; that subtle complexity again. Although the mouthfeel remains light it seems smoother and creamier as it warms.
This is a B+ to an A- for me. I really enjoyed this experience.
A - | Southampton Double White Ale is an excellent Belgian Witbier with light wheat malt flavors with notes of citrus, clove, and peppery spice all riding and a bed of classic Belgian yeastiness. What a nice experience.
This is it, the one that started it all. Crafted to perfection for over 200 years, GUINNESS® EXTRA STOUT is descended from the definitive West India Porter known as Extra Superior Porter. Crack it open, and the first sip tastes as fresh as ever. The unmistakeable deep-dark color, the crisp hint of roasted barley, the fresh breeze of hops, and the refreshing bite all make for the bittersweet reward.
No special background. This was a leftover from a stout stew that I make for a St. Patrick's day party.
The beer pours a completely opaque (stout black) with no light getting through the glass and a very rich tan to chocolate milk head.
The nose is very nice with rich dark roasted malt aromas with notes of chocolate.
Not a bad first sip; there was no wow factor but all and all a nice experience. The taste starts out with a heavy malt sweetness up front on the tip of the tongue. You can feel the richness of the beer as it rolls over the tongue in the middle of the sip. The back-end is fairly easy drinking for such a rich beer with just a slight hesitation on the top of the swallow. The finish has a great deal of rich roasted malt flavors with oaky hints of cocoa and toffee. The dry hoppiness almost adds a harshness that distracts from the rich malt flavors. The final aftertaste is of the lingering rich roasted malts. There is also a lingering rich creamy mouthfeel left on the tongue.
As the beer warms it does not get any better. It actually develops a very unpleasant harshness.
A C doesn't seem fair but an B seems to generous. I think I'll have to settle for a B-.
B- | Guinness Extra Stout is a nice drinkable Irish dry stout with rich roasted malt flavors finishing with oaky notes of cocoa and toffee. A little harsh as it warms but all and all not a bad beer.
Black Cherry pays homage to the classic soda fountain beverage. Sweeter than most commercially produced Black Cherry sodas, it is delicious by itself or in combination with adult beverages.
We had a fantastic "Team Building" event and took a tour of the Fordham/Dominion brewery in Dover DE. It was a great morning and after sampling several of their beers I purchased a variety pack of their sodas to take home to the kids. We have their Old Dominion Root Beer on draft for just about every family event. I have had and reviewed their Ginger Ale and really liked it. I tried to save one each of the variety pack but the kids got to it before me. This bottle of the Black Cherry is the only one left. I thought it would be fun to changes things up in this review and do a soda.
The soda pours a very dark almost completely opaque burgundy black with a quickly diminishing purple head.
The nose is great with deep rich dark cherry aromas.
Wow, that first sip just brought me back to my childhood; what a great first sip. The taste starts out with touch of sweetness up front followed by a cleansing effervesce over the tongue in the middle of the sip. The back-end is clean and refreshing with an additional carbonation release on the swallow that continues to mask the flavors. The finish is where the whole experience comes together with great natural dark cherry flavors leaving an almost creamy mouthfeel on the tongue. The final aftertaste is of lingering dark cherry flavors.
Well there is not much more I can say about this delicious soda especially since it's almost gone already.
This is another A for Old Dominion Sodas.
A | Dominion Black Cherry Soda is a great nostalgic through back to my childhood with rich natural dark cherry flavors leaving a rich and creamy mouthfeel. What a great experience.
I recently reviewed Hardywood Singel and thought it was an excellent Belgian Pale/Single. Then today as I was preparing to review Spencer Trappist Ale I thought it would be interesting to do a little head to head comparison.
I'm not going to get into all the particulars, you can read those reviews for that. I thought I would point out any differences based on Appearance, Taste and Mouthfeel.
As you can see from the picture these two are night and day from each other. The Spencer is much richer looking with a slightly darker off white head. In this contract the Hardywood looks more like a wheat beer.
From the taste to mouthfeel and into the finish, hands down, Spencer is by far the better tasting beer. That does surprises me. I was really impressed with the Hardywood Singel but did not realize how much better the Spencer really is. The pale malt flavors in the Spencer are richer. Even the mouthfeel of the Spencer is richer and smoother than the Hardywood.
There is a unique complexity that shows in the Spencer that is not in the Hardywood Singel. I can only assume that is due to the Trappist yeast in the Spencer.
The real learning lesion is that no matter how good you think a beer is something in the same style comes along that completely outshines what you have already rated as an A.
Well that's it; just a quick little post comparing two beers of the same style.
As I was reviewing some Belgian style beers I remembered that my friend Matt brought two of these bottles over the first of November. I had one with him then and managed to save this one. I almost forgot about it until now. I am a huge fan of all the Belgian styles and I'm really looking forward to dissecting this single. I actually reviewed this a few weeks ago but I'm just getting around to posting it.
The beer pours a hazy rich golden color with copper hues and a fairly rich off white to off-white head.
The nose is amazing with pale malt aromas on that heavenly Belgian yeasty body and just a touch of citrus notes.
Ahhh, what an amazing first sip. At first I didn't think there was much to it but by the time I got to the finish all the amazing aspects of the experience came together; let me explain.
The experience starts with some non-descript pale malt sweetness up front on the tip of the tongue. That is followed by a cleansing effervescence over the tongue in the middle of the sip. That effervescence really masks any flavors. There is little to no hesitation at the top of the swallow. There is also a carbonation release during the swallow so all this time I was hesitant whether or not this beer had any real flavor. All of that changed on the finish when the heavens came together and provided a most delightful experience. The finish is exquisite with rich pale malt flavors followed by that classic Belgian yeasty flavor ending in notes of citrus and light spice. Believe it or not this is where you experience the smooth mouthfeel noticing that the rich pale malts leave a smooth coating over the tongue.
Wow what a fantastic experience! The simple complexity and uniqueness of style is extremely impressive. I can't believe I'm getting this excited about a Single, Pale Ale.
This is a simple Abbey beer brewed for the monk's everyday use. It has only been in recent years that any of these beers have made it to the retail market.
As the beer warms it just gets more exquisite. The malt flavors are richer and the mouthfeel is smoother and creamier now that it's less carbonated. The complexity of the ale really shows it's self as it warms.
I kind of don't want to finish this beer. I'm nursing it well into room temperature and it's just fantastic.
Well, all good things must come to an end and so must this review. This was a fantastic experience.
I'm really struggling on a rating for this one. It's a solid A+ for sure but since I gave Hardywood Singel an A and this one was so much better I feel like this should be an Outstatndaing or I should re-mark Singel an B+. On the other hand I only gave one Outstanding and that was for an aged specialty beer, Samichlaus Bier. Honestly as good as this Trappist was I'm not sure it was good enough for an Outstatnding. On the other hand this is the most exquisite beer that I have had since getting back to reviews. Chances are, if I had this first I would have given it an A+ and Single a B+ or A-. On the other hand I don't like changing my ratings there are what I feel they should be at the time. Since I ran out of hands several hands ago what does this mean? An A+ for Spencer.
A+ | Spencer Trappist Ale is an exquisite Belgian Pale/Single, brewed with the craftsmanship of the Belgian Trappist traditions, with rich pale malt flavors, exceptional mouthfeel and complexity finishing with notes of citrus and spice.

The insured automobile dealership filed suit for breach of contract and bad faith for failing to pay for hail and wind damages to its vehicles following a storm under an open lot insurance policy. The policy obligated Landmark to pay "only the actual cost to the insured" of repairs actually performed. All of the vehicles were repaired after the storm. The insured refused to provide documentation establishing the actual cost of the repairs, and sought instead to recover the amount of an estimate of the repair costs. The court found the insured was limited to recovering the actual cost of the repairs incurred, and because the insured could not establish that amount, entered summary judgment in favor of Landmark.

The insured filed suit for breach of contract for failing to pay for wind damage to the roof, windows, and other parts of a commercial residential building as a result of Hurricane Irma. An appraisal award subsequently was entered, which did not include the cost of "matching," that the court described as "the cost of maintaining the aesthetic uniformity of the affected structures post-repairs." The insured wanted the claim returned to the appraisal panel to calculate the cost to replace undamaged parts of the building to ensure they visibly "matched" the repaired parts. The magistrate judge found the insurance policy's plain language disclaimed any responsibility to ensure uniformity between replaced parts and undamaged parts. In other words, the policy did not require payment to ensure the undamaged parts "matched" the damaged parts after repairs were completed. The district judge agreed, adopted the magistrate judge's report and recommendation, and entered summary judgment in favor of Rockhill.

However, the policy had been cancelled, effective 12:01 a.m. on April 4, 2020, at the request of the insured's premium finance company because the insured failed to make his insurance premium payments. The court ruled that the premium finance company had the authority under the finance agreement it had with the insured to cancel the policy. Because the fire occurred after the date and time of the policy's cancellation requested by the premium finance company, the court found there was no coverage in effect at the time of the fire.

The court held that loss of business income as a result of Covid-19 did not constitute "direct physical loss of or damage to" property as required for coverage under the policy.

The insured sought coverage under the Covington policy for lost business income under the Business Income (and Extra Expense) coverage provision and the Action of Civil Authority coverage provision of the commercial property insurance policy issued by Covington. The court held that loss of business income as a result of Covid-19 did not constitute "direct physical loss of or damage to" property as required for coverage under the policy. The court also found that the temporary deprivation of the use of property was insufficient to show "direct physical loss" of property. The court held further that the policy's coverage exclusion for Pathogenic or Biological or Chemical Materials precluded coverage for lost business income caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
June 2021 – Jay Rawls and Richard Bruno obtained summary judgment in the defense of a construction general contractor in Fulton County State Court.

The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court and the Supreme Court denied appellant's petition for certiorari. The Court of Appeal opinion may be viewed at Brack v. CPPI of Ga., LLC, 357 Ga.

March 2021 – Wayne Taylor, Anne Landrum, and Michelle Sherman, along with local counsel in Alabama, successfully obtained partial summary judgment on behalf of Chubb Custom Insurance Company in a lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. This case involved a claim for insurance coverage under a policy for damages allegedly suffered after a fire and a subsequent tornado. Specifically, plaintiff brought three causes of action against Chubb in its complaint: a request for specific performance of the appraisal process for both claims, breach of contract regarding both claims, and bad faith. The Court granted Chubb's motion for summary judgment on all issues except for the breach of contract claim concerning the fire. The Court ruled that plaintiff's wind claim failed because it did not notify Chubb of the loss in a timely manner. The Court also found that plaintiff's claim for bad faith failed because not only did Chubb demonstrate an arguable basis for refusing to pay plaintiff's claims, but also that Chubb thoroughly investigated plaintiff's claims.
February 2021 – Wayne Taylor obtained an order from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida on behalf of Federal Insurance Company, not only granting its motion to strike plaintiff's expert disclosures and exclude expert testimony, but also granting summary judgment in favor of Federal.

The insurance policy contained an annual hurricane deductible of two percent of the coverage limit and an exclusion for damages due to wear and tear. The Court first excluded plaintiff's expert from testifying because plaintiff failed to comply with Federal Rule 26 in disclosing its experts and its failure was not substantially justified or harmless. The Court then ruled that Federal was entitled to summary judgment because it sufficiently showed that the cost to repair the covered damages did not exceed the policy's deductible.
February 2021 – Wayne Taylor served as a co-instructor for the WIND Umpire Certification Course and the Umpire Re-Certification Course at the 2021 Windstorm Insurance Network's 22 nd Annual WIND Conference held virtually.

This case involved a claim by the insureds for coverage under a State Auto policy for damage after both a water line and a sewage line failed. In its complaint, the insureds included claims for breach of contract, bad faith, fraudulent misrepresentation, and attorney's fees. State Auto filed a motion for summary judgment on all counts, setting forth arguments that (1) certain claimed damage was excluded from coverage under the policy; (2) State Auto issued payment for all of the insureds' covered losses; (3) State Auto is not liable for bad faith penalties because it had a reasonable basis to deny the insureds' claim for the uncovered damages; and (4) State Auto did not make any fraudulent misrepresentations. The Court granted State Auto summary judgment on all four grounds.

July 2019 – Wayne Taylor and Michelle Sherman, along with lawyers from Washington, D.C., and Seattle, Washington, prevailed on an appeal before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, reversing the district court's decision that ordered ACE American Insurance Company to pay $1.1 million of a $2.6 million award that The Wattles Company won against ACE's insured, Exide Technologies, for property damage to a warehouse used for Exide's battery formation operations that were caused by the emission of sulfuric acid. The Eleventh Circuit ruled that the district court judge did not properly interpret the policy's "Tenants and Neighbors Liability" provision in finding that Wattles' attorney's fees and post-judgment interest were covered. That extended coverage provision explicitly stated that it applied only to claims arising in "those countries in which a Napoleonic or other civil or commercial code applies." The Eleventh Circuit reasoned that, in the context of the international property coverage provided by the policy, the "Tenants and Neighbors Liability" provision unambiguously applies only to countries that are governed by a civil law system, not common law countries that sometimes use civil codes like codified regulations. Because the claim occurred in the State of Washington (and not, for instance, in France or Germany), the Court held that the "Tenants and Neighbors Liability" provision did not apply, and as a result, the claim did not exceed the policy's $2 million deductible.
July 2019 – Michelle A. Sherman and Wayne Taylor successfully obtained summary judgment on behalf of Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company in a lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. This case arose out of an insurance claim under a jewelers block insurance policy for the loss of merchandise that occurred while the insured's principal was on a European cruise vacation. Jewelers Mutual issued an extended off-premises travel coverage endorsement that provided coverage for the insured's stock during the insured's principal's European cruise subject to specific conditions, including that "[j]ewelry property must be carried concealed [on] the body and may not be left unattended unless secured in a two-keyed safe or stored with a jewelry dealer." The Court ruled that the insured failed to comply with the requirements of the extended off-premises travel coverage endorsement. The insured's principal claimed that it was impossible for him to comply with the endorsement's requirements because a two-keyed safe was not available to him and the cruise ship jeweler refused to store the jewelry. The Court found that compliance with the endorsement's requirements by the insured was not impossible because the insured's principal admitted that he could have worn the jewelry inventory on his person even though it would have been inconvenient. The Court further found that the requirements of the extended travel endorsement did not violate public policy.

This case involved a claim by an insured for coverage under a Jewelers Mutual policy for loss of business income allegedly suffered when the insured suspended operations at its leased premises due to its landlord's failure to remediate a foul odor and mold in the insured's jewelry store caused by water leakage from an adjacent restaurant. Jewelers Mutual's independent adjuster inspected the premises and determined that the mold resulted from a long-term water leak from a hot water tank in an adjacent restaurant. Jewelers Mutual denied the insured's claim for loss of business income based on the policy's exclusions for "continuous or repeated seepage or leakage of water" and mold. The insured argued that the water leak was not the sole cause of the odor and the precise cause of the odor was never established. The Court held that Jewelers Mutual reasonably concluded that the insured's loss of income from suspending its operations resulted from a continuous water leak from the adjacent restaurant, and therefore, was not a covered cause of loss. The Court found that the insured failed to produce any evidence to dispute that conclusion or create a question of fact that would preclude summary judgment in favor of Jewelers Mutual. The Court also granted Jewelers Mutual's motion for summary judgment regarding the insured's claims for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and bad faith.

As part of its investigation of the claim, Federal requested that the insured produce various specific financial records and documents and that he submit to an examination under oath. Although the insured provided a police report, jewelry appraisals, his own credit report that he obtained, and photos of the broken glass on his door that he repaired and gave a recorded statement, he did not produce any documents or information relating to his activities or financial condition around the time of the loss, such as his telephone or bank records. After several follow-up requests for the documents, and the insured's failure to appear for his scheduled examination under oath, Federal denied the claim based on the insured's breach of his post-loss contractual duties. The Court ruled that, as a matter of law, the insured was not entitled to any recovery because he failed to produce the documents requested by Federal during its investigation of the claim, which was a condition precedent to recovery under the policy. The Court also granted summary judgment on the insured's bad faith claim.

October 2017 – Wayne Taylor, Michelle Sherman and Anne Landrum, as well as attorneys representing other insurers, obtained a dismissal of all claims asserted against Landmark American Insurance Company in the Superior Court of DeKalb County.

The insured had been paid the full amount of its claim by the primary insurer and first two excess layer insurers, but demanded additional damages as a result of alleged delay and underevaluation of the amount of loss during the investigation of the claim. In ruling in favor of Landmark and the other insurers, the Court found that Georgia's bad faith statute, O.C.G.A. § 33-4-6, is the exclusive remedy for extra-contractual damages arising from allegedly deficient claims adjusting. The Court also found that, even if the group insurance program was illegal, there is no private cause of action for a violation of Georgia's Insurance Code. Instead, any alleged violations of the Insurance Code come within the exclusive jurisdiction of Georgia's Insurance Commissioner. Consequently, the Court dismissed all of the insured's claims against Landmark and the other insurers based upon the claim that the group insurance program was illegal.
September 2017 – Wayne Taylor once again served as a guest professor for the insurance law class at Georgia State University's School of Law, lecturing on insurable interest under a first-party property insurance policy.
LG Can't Be Sued Over Fatal Fire Around TV, Judges Rule
Katheryn Hayes Tucker09/13/2017
If a ruling by the Georgia Court of Appeals stands, a homeowner who claims her television exploded and caused a fire that killed her husband and son will never get a chance to take her case to a jury.
Writing for a panel of three, Judge M. Yvette Miller came down on the side of LG Electronics against Debbie Cash. Miller upheld Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Pamela South, who dismissed Cash's causation expert on a Daubert challenge, then granted summary judgment in favor of LG.
"The evidence in this case shows that, on the morning of July 6, 2011, Cash's son woke up and went into the living room to watch TV," Miller wrote. "He then came into Cash's room and told Cash and her husband that the house was on fire. When Cash looked in the living room, she saw green-black smoke and that the entire entertainment center was on fire."
The parents tried without success to extinguish the fire. The mother escaped the house, thinking her husband and son were already out. Then she climbed in a window to pull her daughter out.
"Once Cash realized her husband and son were trapped in the house, the fire was too extensive for her to rescue them," Miller said. The husband died in the house. The son died afterward in a hospital.
"Cash and her surviving daughter filed suit against LG Electronics, Inc. alleging, among other claims, strict liability and negligence," Miller wrote. "Cash claims that the LG television in her living room was the cause of the fire, and in support she submitted the expert testimony of an engineer who attempted to recreate the origin of the fire.
"Upon LG's motion, the trial court excluded the expert's testimony, finding that the expert's opinion was not based on sufficient facts or reliable principles and methods, as required byDaubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U. S. 579 … (1993)," Miller said. "After excluding Cash's causation expert, the trial court granted summary judgment to LG based on the lack of competent and admissible evidence that there was a defect in the television that caused the fire."
The excluded expert posed a hypothesis targeting the television's power supply board as the trigger to a chain reaction causing the fire. But Miller found "simply too great an analytical gap between the data and the opinion proffered." She said the expert could not back up his findings without manipulating the reactions of the equipment in his tests.
Miller also found that a trial judge has "substantial discretion in deciding how to test an expert's reliability." Miller added, "The party seeking to rely on the expert bears the burden of proving the expert is sufficiently reliable."
Cash's attorneys could not be reached to ask whether they plan to appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court. Her team includes Jason Webster of Webster Law Firm in Houston, which is still recovering from Hurricane Harvey, and David Sleppy of Cathey & Strain in Cornelia, in northeast Georgia in Habersham County, which was without power, phone and internet from Hurricane Irma. Calls to both firms were unanswered Tuesday.
Edward Bresee of Mozley Finlayson & Loggins in Atlanta was part of the LG defense team. Bresee said Monday he could not discuss the opinion without his client's approval.
The case is Cash v. LG Electronics, No. A17A0878.

Q: Draw UIView with transform into UIImage It is easy to draw a UIView into a UIImage with drawHierarchy(in: afterScreenUpdates:) and CALayer.render methods e.g.:
let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: size)
return renderer.image { rendererContext in
    view.drawHierarchy(in: view.frame, afterScreenUpdates: true)
}

But I want to render the UIView including its transform and/or its layer's transform. How can I achieve this? I need to render a UIView which is scaled and rotated.
One fallback solution is to render its superview into UIImage but for that I will have to change the UI hierarchy...

A: There is a workaround for this issue. Wrap the the UIView with transform into another view (without transform) with frame of the "transformed view". Place the transformed view at .zero position in the wrapper view and call drawHierarchy(in:) (on the wrapper view).
Or in my specific case I needed to draw text views and I ended-up drawing the texts with Core Graphics directly.

The keys are full-size which is nice for an arranger. It is simple and easy to use- plug and play. I love that. It is pretty thick and I dont like that. Only other negative is that the keys are stiff and springy. I would say that you get what you pay for, but I've used Casio keyboards that are less expensive that have a better touch to the keys. The reason I like it outshines by far the reasons I don't like it. I think four stars is fair. Maybe my expectations were a little higher than they should have been.

Skylab Legacy: Space Station Astronauts Reflect on 40 Years of Life Off Earth
Before the International Space Station existed, before U.S. astronauts shared space on Russia's space station Mir, America's first home in Earth orbit was Skylab.
The converted upper stage of a massive Saturn V moon rocket, Skylab was launched 40 years ago today (May 14). The orbital workshop gave NASA its first experience at establishing a long-duration human presence in space, laying the foundation for American astronauts to take up continuous residency almost three decades later on board the International Space Station (ISS).
On Monday (May 13), NASA commemorated four decades of "life off Earth" and the 40th anniversary of Skylab's launch during a roundtable discussion held at its headquarters in Washington, D.C. The event featured Skylab and ISS astronauts, as well as agency managers who are helping to plan the United States' future outposts in space. [Skylab: The First U.S. Space Station (Photos)]
"When these guys went to the final frontier to stay for a long time, they did it as the first ones, the ones who were entering the unknown and to see what it was going to be like and set the stage for us," said astronaut Kevin Ford, who returned from space in March after commanding the International Space Station's Expedition 34. "It is a pleasure for me to be here on the 40th anniversary."
America's first space station
Three crews of three astronauts each launched to the Skylab space station between May and November 1973. Each mission set a record for the amount of time that crewmembers spent in space — Skylab 1 for 28 days, Skylab 2 for 59 days and Skylab 3 for 84 days.
"It verified the fact that people could live, work [and] do productive things for long duration, and also took the first steps toward doing the science that we wanted to have aboard," said Owen Garriott, who served as the science pilot for Skylab's second crew.
That astronauts were even able to spend one day aboard Skylab was a testament to the value of having humans in space.
Excessive vibrations during the station's Saturn V liftoff resulted in a critical meteoroid shield being ripped off in flight, which in turn took out one of the orbital workshop's two power-providing solar arrays. Flight controllers moved Skylab's secondary solar panels to face the sun to provide as much electricity as possible, but because of the loss of the debris shield this caused the station's interior to heat up to over 125 degrees Fahrenheit (52 degrees Celsius).
The effort to "save Skylab" fell to its first crew, who had to quickly prepare for a series of unexpected spacewalks in the short time they had between the station's launch and their own. Despite the very tight schedule, the astronauts successfully deployed a parasol (later augmented by a solar shield) to lower the temperature inside the station and freed a snagged second solar array.
Once the workshop was a stable living platform, the three Skylab crews logged about 2,000 hours in total performing scientific and medical experiments. They also took more than 46,000 photos of the Earth and 127,000 photos of the sun, capturing eight solar flares on film.
The astronauts also devised methods for maximizing their productivity, a lesson with far-reaching applications.
"We dealt with problems having to do with scheduling and productivity," said Gerald "Jerry" Carr, who commanded the final Skylab crew. "We came to some solutions that worked very well. It took a while to get there ... but those solutions that we came across were used on subsequent missions to some degree."
"We tried to make sure that got into the planning for the operations aboard the International Space Station and on the [space] shuttle," Carr added.
"I think we're still working that issue," replied Ford. "We've gotten a much better feeling, I think, now that we are up there to do work that the ground can't necessarily figure out how long it is going to take you to do everything."
The end of Skylab
Upon the end of its crewed missions, Skylab was moved into a stable attitude where it was expected to remain for eight to 10 years. It was hoped that one of the early space shuttle missions could be used to re-boost Skylab's orbit to save the station for future use.
In late 1977, however, four years before the shuttle would first fly, it was discovered that greater-than-predicted solar activity had heated the outer layers of Earth's atmosphere, increasing the drag on Skylab. On July 11, 1979, Skylab re-entered the atmosphere and broke apart over the Indian Ocean. Much of the station burned up or dropped into sea, but its debris field stretched over Australia, where many pieces were later found. [See photos of Skylab's remains in Australia]
Despite its relatively short life span, the use of Skylab's unique environment and vantage point represented a major step in the United States' spaceflight efforts, serving as a bridge between the Apollo missions to the moon and the long-duration expeditions on board the International Space Station, the roundtable said.
"The [International] Space Station was built around what we learned on Skylab," Ford said. "What they put up there for us, the way the modules were sized and the way they were constructed in space... that all came out of what we learned from Skylab."
"We may have done it first, but these guys are doing it better," added Carr, referencing Ford and the current ISS crews. "People need to continue to do it better and better because we learn more and more as we do this. We just took the first step, and the rest of the steps are having had been taken and are being taken right now."

Respected by SEND Appeal Judges
'The written and oral professional evidence on the parents' side has been compelling'
'Dr Dyer clearly has specialist knowledge of PDA, based on professional and research experience and we accept, on balance, that A is showing explicit features of PDA. This is important because it is likely that strategies to address his particular difficulties many not flow directly from conventional ASD methodology'
'The LA has been unable to explain its refusal to accept that A's presentation would suggest a diagnosis of PDA, or that he has a sensory processing disorder. We accept the parental evidence on both those issues'.
Judge Margaret Richards, 1st April 2015 (SE830/14/00045)
Judiciary Feedback

'Dr Dyer carried out a very thorough assessment of N. In particular she carried out formal testing and observed N both at home and at ES.'
'We found Dr Dyer's report to be a thoughtful and nuanced description of the special educational provision which is required to meet N's needs.'
'We amended part 3 accordingly, adding to the provision Dr Dyer's key specific recommendations'.

Avey Tare
"Lucky 1"
The lead single from Down There, Avey Tare's first proper solo album, is a pulsing combination of bassy electronic beat and brain-worming vocal melody. On the surface, it's not too far from Avey-led songs on Merriweather Post Pavilion like "Summertime Clothes". The crucial difference is that while his singing was loud and clear on that infectious track, here he moans like a ghost, whines like a mourner, and drowns himself in multi-track and reverb. All of which give the song a thick, spooky atmosphere, morphing its propulsive beat into something ominous. That might paint "Lucky 1" with too dark a brush-- certainly there's enough bounce and hook here to make you more apt to nod along than zone out. But compare "Lucky 1" to a song it resembles melodically-- Johnny Nash's reggae-inflected 1970s hit "I Can See Clearly Now"-- and Avey Tare's knack for making a tune simultaneously bright, shady, and mysterious comes into focus.
