I have some HP software on my work computer. Apparently the update portion of this screwed up and I was getting a blank window that could not be closed with 'cetihpz://errors/blank.htm' as its label when using ALT TAB to check open windows. When I searched for this the advice of the internet was to uninstall the Hewlett Packard software, reboot, and then reinstall if I wanted to keep the software. Screw that noise. Instead I just went into windows task manager and found every process starting with "HP" and started killing them off one by one. The third one was the charm and the window went away. Reboot and the problem did not come back, no reinstall needed. And now back to the payroll.

Review: Samael by Avery Brewing Co.
Jun. 19th, 2008 02:45 pmI drank this last week and this is my late review.
The bottle says oak-aged ale, but given that this local brew is 15.53% abv it probably should be called a barley wine or something. It is not fortified but cane sugar was added to the mash to make this so incredibly strong. The sugar is a distinct sweet note that plays off of a fruity bitterness that did not seem terribly hoppy to me, though after drinking I found hops as an ingredient on the label. (How nice of them to actually list their ingredients.) I was not similarly uninformed about the oak, but I am fairly sure that its presence would have been readily apparent even in a blind taste testing. Over all it is rather like a moderately fruity Belgian beer fortified with a bit of whiskey with a sweet finish.
I am not sure this is worth the price ($6+ for a 12 oz. bottle!), but it was definitely worth trying.
