How often can you say that one of the more approachable beers from an American brewer is their Biere de Garde? But when you're known for brewing an outstanding Baltic-style Imperial Porter, or a gruit ale, Biere de Garde seems almost ordinary. Ordinary or not, however, this is a damn fine brew. First off, it's beautiful, with a foamy off-white head sitting on top of a hazy, deep copper beer. Aromas are fruity, slightly sweet, slightly medicinal, with a subtly spicy aroma. What kind of yeast is he using? Whatever it is, it's intriguing. Taste is peppery at first, followed by a round, full and fruity malty sweetness. Finish is slightly bitter, with the alcohol asserting itself with a burst of pepper. Long, lingering bitterness in the aftertaste, makes you want more. I have yet to be disappointed by Mr. Baker's offerings.

Poured from green 750ml capped champaigne bottle into a large tear drop glass the beer was a soft burnt orange color with one and a half fingers of fluffly slightly off-white head. Some spotty lacing throughout the sample, and some carbonation bubbles streamed up the sides of the glass to feed the head.
The smell is very alcoholic and phenolic upfront. Very spicey nose with some orange, general citrus, corriander, clove and a yeasty aroma all coming through. Hints of a medicinal aroma in the background.
Alcohol and spiceness are apparent immediatley in the taste. A very "hot" beer. Alcohol comes through nicely and grabs the tounge with a potent presence. Citrus and clove surround the palate with a firm malty body. A very slight hop character makes it presence known, but little associated bitterness. Alcohol is not hidden and remains hot throughout the sample, perhaps hotter as the beer warms.
Medium firm, very bubbly body. Lots of carbonation here, the bottle gushed for a moment or two after openening.
A good beer but at times a bit too spicey for my taste. Some Triple like flavors, just not all that drinkable for me. For the style, however, well done.

Beer was poured into a wide mouth wine goblet. It looks like slight cloudy liquid peach jello with a thin creamy head, light carbonation and moderate lacing. Quite attractive looking.
Very complex smell and taste. Smells mainly of musty honey with light smells of cloves, pepper and peach/nectarine. Tastes as it smells with a bit of oaky smokiness. Very smooth with a great coating mouthfeel; however, it finishes a bit too dry for my taste. It left me really thirsty between drinks. This beer is very drinkable, but it is definitely not a session beer. I would gladly have more of this.

The beer was purchased in Philly at the Foodery. The beer was served in a wide mouthed wine goblet.
Appearance: The beer has a golden amber coloration. The head was a creamy white coloration one finger high. The beer left rings of lacing on the glass. The beer was effervescent but not overly so.
Smell: The beer has a musty fruityness about it. The beer has the smells of sour apples, citrus and apricots. The beer has a pleasantly spicy honey and cloves smell.
Taste: The beer is big time loaded with malty goodness. The beer pays out a spicy yeasty musty fruityness consisting of citrus and apricots. The beer has a very good honey and cloves combo.
Mouthfeel/ Drinkability: The beer is medium bodied. The beer has a very pleasant musty funkyness. This beer is a definately not a chore to drink. The beer starts out smooth and finishes roughly dry.

Poured from a green 750ml bottle a georgeous roasted pecan leaving a cloudy body with a slight tan head. The nose is sweet, caramel, citrus hop, peach, and honey very complex nose sweet and malty. The taste is sweet on the palate, honey, herbs, and spices. As I take a second whiff some vanilla, oak, with a touch of smokiness. The finish is crisp, carbonated, a little dry and rough with a brush of alcohal in the throat.

Sugary aroma includes sweet caramel malt and a sharpness that isnt quite of spicy or carbonation in origin. Very attention getting aroma. Cloudy amber body witha pinky thin white head. Big caramel accented malt fore. Sweet bread and candy flavors are big in the middle and give the beer an easy drinking smoothness. Some yeastyness in the finish and a punch of spiciness.

Thanks to Beerbeing for the bottle. Pours with decent head and good lacing. Body is a somewhat dark orange. Aroma of sweet caramel, toasted malt. Faint hops.
Big caramel and toasted sweet malt. A little too sweet for me, but I still appreciate the beer. Faint grassy hops. Mouthfeel is full and carbonated. Drinkability is OK.

Picked up a growler of this from the Flying Pig in Malvern to take to a Phillies game. The beer poured a good amber color with a medium white fluffy head. The aroma was yeasty with some banana and citrus notes. Pleasing to the nose but not overwhelmingly great. The taste was caramelly sweet, some citrus and banana notes round this one out. Pleasing to the mouth and easy to drink although at times a bit too sweet. Overall a fine beer that I enjoyed sharing with friends a having a few of.

Brassy orange with a fine yeasty haze. Given the way the bottom several inches of bottled beer looks, the final few pours will murk up the glass nicely. The attractive cap of foam looks even better after a second pour. The head resembles lemon and orange juice-infused heavily whipped cream, hasn't noticeably deflated in the past several minutes and appears to be a wonderful lace generator. It's not a classic Biere De Garde look (if there is such a thing), but it looks pretty good to me.
The nose isn't very interesting. Nothing is laid on with very heavy brushstrokes, just little wisps of color here and there. Lightly sour fruity, yeasty, musty, herbal... a melange of aromatics that aren't all that aromatic and don't stand out either individually or in combination. I'm hoping that the flavor is more dynamic and more defined.
I've been unable to determine if Biere D'Art was a one-time release back in 2002 or if it has been brewed since and I have a fairly fresh bottle. In any case, the beer is more bold on the palate than it is in the nose, but that doesn't mean that it's any better or more compelling. The various elements that make up the flavor profile tend to run together like the colors in the abstract painting seen on the label. As a result, the beer tastes... muddled.
There's a fair amount of malt--as the style demands--with flavors of sour apricot, white pepper, sandlewood, stale clove and ethanol. Unfortunately, there's no focal point and no cohesiveness, not even as the beer gains a few degrees. If anything, the individual elements are becoming more indistinguishable with time and drinking. Perhaps the alcohol is beginning to numb my tastebuds.
If I hadn't had a few other Bieres De Garde, I'd wonder if my lack of enthusiasm had more to do with this particular style than with this beer specifically. Maybe it's just old beer that has lost its spark. Then again, maybe it's just fresh beer that hasn't had the opportunity to fully mesh. Whatever its age, it isn't doing much for me at the moment.
The body is medium in a general sense with no trace of creaminess or silkiness. It has some degree of expansiveness in the mouth and doesn't break down on the finish, but isn't what I'd call mouth pleasing. The spritely degree of carbonation that I experienced in the first several ounces has settled down nicely and should see me comfortably through the remainder of the bottle.
I'm not a huge fan of modern/abstract art, but every once in a while throwing seemingly disparate colors and shapes together on the same canvas can create beauty out of chaos. More often than not though, chaos is simply chaos. That's how I feel about Biere D'Art. I'll have no trouble finishing the bottle, but a masterpiece it most certainly is not.

Looked great on the pour. Hazy apricot with a thin wispy head. Had to sniff...and sniff....and sniff....and finally realized the aromtics just weren't there. It has some citrus and orange going on, but not much. The taste was pretty unexceptional. Not bad, it just didn't really come on with any strong discernable falvors. The mouthfeel didn't help the lack of taste either..this beer just sort of exists.

Opaque peachy hay. If it weren't for the small ring of foamy bubbles displaced around the top edge I would've thought I was lookng at a glass of wax.
Aroma is fair with a medium sour orange and lemony tartness. A slight bit musty with a hovering coat of metalic scoring.
Taste is also quite fair and brief. Uncomplexing and straight forward with a scimping sourness of orange, lemon, and nectarine. Small alkaline bitterness towards the finish that ends abruptly leaving a light fluffly dryness of yeasty wood and parched, old candy. Tart leftovers mix with a chalky residue.
Feel is a tad shy of medium, flat and low ended carboation, some empty areas never quite fill in as th flavor character just doesn't want to take off fully. It has and wants potential, but it just isn't doing it for me. Quite plain actually.
I'm being a bit generous, as its hard to put numbers to beers like this for me. I'm just not feeling it with this. It goes no where and the finish is reached too quickly and within itself doesn't fair well with its chalky residue and off-parching citrus. This one can be just as subjective as any abstract painting. This one reminds me of the messy work by Guston.

Hazy amber/copper color with a large fluffy white head. Yeasty aroma with some banana and grass and hints of green apple. The yeast helps provide a nice crisp flavor with some citrus and clove. A slight caramel sweetness to this too. Well carbonated, medium to full bodied. I enjoyed this beer, but for some reason I had a hard time finishing this. I'd be interested to try this again to see what I think of it some other time.

Presentation: 750ml with brass colored crown cap. Colorful label, resplendent as it is with artwork from Canadian Artiste Christine Haley, per the BA database picture. Listed at 7.7% ABV. No freshness date.
Appearance: Lightly hazed Orangeade with some Lyles Golden Syrup and shredded marmalade flashes thrown in for good measure White head with a soft beige tint. Foamy head, the kind that is composed of thousands of small but individually visible bubbles. Retention is decent, nothing outstanding but it laces nicely and hangs around long enough to add to the visuals. Packed with lively streamers, yet the carbonation is medium in nature.
Nose: Ooooh, I love the nose. Something different and a nice change of pace. Fruity peaches mixed with a toasted lager backdrop. Rises with peppered apples, baked peaches, apricot purée, soft Satsumas and a treacle like sweetness. As it warms, all of this is bolstered by a Tripel-like alcohol punch that woks its way through the enticing nose.
Taste: I feel like I covered the taste profile in nose, but No!! It gets better than that. The carbonation weaves a honeycomb on the palate, this in turn is filled by a mixture of toasted malts, peaches, caramel, oranges, mashed up Granny Smith apples, spicy alcohol, slivered plum skins, raisin stuffed Bartlett Pears slowly baked in brown sugar and Belgian yeast is detectable too .or am I imagining the last bit!? No I am not. It seems like the yeasty influence becomes the protectorate of the sweeter dimensions at times, the influence of the fruits and spice is King though. Damn I love this stuff.
Mouthfeel: Transient but ever-changing feel, soft peachy carpet feel can soon turn to a clean yet sharp orange twang, it fizzles and pops between the two, the change in feel is often the attraction here rather than the feel, sort of like the rate of acceleration is more important than the actual speed, of that makes sense.
Drinkability: Drink, drink, drink .a quaffer, as unique as it feels, as quirky as it is for a Bière de Garde, it has a certain je ne sais quoi which means I find it hard to leave this alone for too long.
Overall: For me, the style stick it in a beery pigeon hole hater, this is more like a wild-orchard-fruity-Tripel, this is far from a classic example of a Bière de Garde, but I dont really give a f**k what it says on the packet. This is damn lovely stuff. Started good but after the first glass when my tastes buds realigned, that is when this one really started to grow on me, moreso with each and every subsequent mouthful. It took some time but work this one out and it ends up being a Crusade that is a super treat in the long term. A great relaxation to a very long hassled day!
A Big Thanks to Erica for the Birthday bière, and another chance to sample some more of the Heavyweight portfolio.
Expand your mind. Recommended.

Just had this at the Real Ale Fest in CT. 1/29/06
I've only had one other Bier de Garde,but think this is a very good style for me.
This was my favorite today...and there were many fantastic ales.
Appeared golden , slighty cloudy...small head..which diminshed quickly.
Smelled of fruit , spices, citrus... . a little malt and hay...smelled a little like a saison.
Taste was slightly sweet, fruity and malty...very complex..a lot of flavors coming and going that I can't quite nail down..but, a really good balance of everything.... very delicate hop , semi dry finish..just great.
Low to medium mouthfeel....carbonation was perfect...although,everything today seemed to have perfect carbonation...can't beat casks !
Very drinkable...but with all the other choices at the fest...I had to move on.
I can't get this in CT....damn...will have to drive to MA or NY...good thing CT is small and flanked by states that don't discourage craft-brewer neighbors from selling their beers here.
I will definitely be looking for this.

Served from a bomber bottle in my trusty Duvel tulip glass at just below cellar temperature.
A - Pours a bright gold color with decent clarity save a very light chill haze. Head rises to a full finger in height -- stiff in stature, composed of inconsistent sized bubbles that remain to form a nice mat atop the beer after it has subsided. Active carbonation produces continual streams of tiny bubbles from many points within the glass. Lacing is spotty, but present.
S - Yeasty sweetness and and mature, hopped malts. A definite organic flair. Notes of honey, yeast, alcohol, and possibly corander can be detected.
T - The fist thing I notice is that this beer is very wineline in character and has many traits that parallel what I found when I brewed my own meade - honey sweetness, tart yeastiness, and undisguised alcohol. The maltiness in this beer provides a lightly toasted profile that is well balanced by the mildly bitter European-tasting noble hoppiness. Drinks like a wine more than a beer. Unfortunately leaves a touch of cloying stickiness in the back of the throat.
M - Very tiny pin-tip tingliness on the tongue, welling up to a comfortable lather that rocks like ocean foam. For as prevalent as the alcohol is, the swallow is smooth. Unfortunately, the throat-filling feel of this beer makes for a slightly gassy belly-feel. *burp*
D - This beer would be an excellent compliment to food, and that's what it is ultimately best suited for. In that capacity, it would be considered highly drinkable, but as a beer to drink for the sake of simply having a beer, it's a tad too ostentatious.

750 ml bottle. This beer pours out a hazy yellow brown color with a big head. Aroma is malt, pepper, lemon, and cider. Malty caramel flavor with lots of peppery spice and just a little lemon. Bursts of burning alcohol. Apple flavor in the finish. I would like if the finish was a little drier. Other than that, the flavor is great. Medium to full mouthfeel. Carbonation is high. A tasty example of the biere de garde style.

Nicely done. Mellow, I thought this was a fresh batch in a new store (Cable in Severne, New York State) If it isn't, it mellowed nicely. Easy drink. Looks cidery but isn't,spot of lemon, pepper, and drop of vinegar, nice retaining white head on light colour. One of their better ones.

Murky apricot pour topped by an impressive dome of white froth that lasts long and leaves delicate lace all over my tulip.
Aromas are crisp and fruity, and accented by delicate spice, just the way a saison should smell. It smells of apricots, peach, pinapple, mint, mangos, and lemon, with coriender spice in the background.
Flavor is similar, brimming with fresh fruit, white pepper, grass, citrus, and corieander. Nicely complex and refreshing.
Medium body carried by soft and airey carbonation, lending to a fluffy mouthfeel. I feel like i just ate cotton candy. It tastes pretty strong for 7.8%, buy maybe it's just me. A very good beer nonthe less.
Thanks to EPseja for the trade

Appears a dark orange amber with a huge 6 finger creamy head that fills up in the 24 oz pilsner glass. Tons of carbonation in this one and lots of sticky webbing left behing.
Smell is grainy with lemongrass, funky apples, and tangerine with some breadiness and a little bit of butterscotch.
Taste is slightly sour with the same odd but likeable aromas.
Mouthfeel is prickly and dry in a medium bodied brew.
Drinkability is good....weird but good.

Soft-serve chocolate icecream is what the flavor of this guy reminds me of.
Slightly fruity (mostly banana) but malt flavors and that choco-ice cream thing dominate as far as I'm concerned.
Quite thick, quite rich.
A malty tripel/saison type of thing.
The first I've had of the style... really very interesting.
I sure hope they make this again.

On-tap at the Blind Tiger.
Pours out a brilliant hazy orange with a thin tight head of white foam. Lots of streaming carbonation running through it.
Smell is exceedingly sweet with a light yeasty funk, some spiciness, and a littly toastiness in the nose. Fruit scents come through as well, I think I caught some peach and a bit of cherry.
Flavor is sweet, but not cloyingly so. The malt is thick and really accentuates the big fruit flavors, much bigger than in the nose. Lots of pear, apple, and grape running around in there with a light toastiness and very minor hop bitterness. Solid medium body that dries out on the finish.
Overall: Quite a nice brew on tap, and one that I'd like to drink every night.

From notes.
Beer poured a clean golden color with a very active carbonation. A small head was maintained over top. The nose was a little light, with grainey notes a touches of lemon citrus. Flavors were right on. A very tasty lemoney and orangey citrus and light graineyness dominated. The brew was incredibly crisp and refreshing. As it warmed, I got a bit of sour and barnyardy flavors coming through. The feel was moderate with a moderate carbonation. An incredibly refreshing brew. I would like to have another bottle.

The drug conviction provision constitutes a new student eligibility requirement contained in the Higher Education Act (HEA) effective July 1, 2000. It provides that a student's eligibility for Federal student aid is suspended if the student is convicted, under Federal or State law, of any offense involving the possession or sale of a controlled substance (generally meaning illegal drugs, but not including alcohol or tobacco). Any such suspension of eligibility begins on the date of the conviction and lasts until the end of a statutorily specified period. The suspension ranges from one year to indefinite, depending upon the number and type of convictions. A student may regain eligibility early by completing a drug rehabilitation program that meets certain statutory and regulatory requirements (including two unannounced drug tests), or if the conviction is overturned. For more information about the Drug Conviction regulation, please contact the Financial Assistance Office at 319-895-4216.
To apply for financial assistance, students must complete the federal financial aid form and submit required financial documents to the Office of Financial Assistance prior to March 1. Following March 1, funds are awarded on an "as available" basis. The federal financial assistance form may be obtained from the student's high school, from Cornell, or completed via the internet. Students must apply for financial assistance each year.

- U.S. workers say they squander over two hours a day at the workplace, with surfing the Web, socializing with co-workers and simply "spacing out" among the top time-wasting activities, according to a survey released on Monday.
Most U.S. companies assume about an hour of wasted time, but workers admit to actually frittering away more than twice as much time at a cost of $759 billion in annual paid salary that results in no apparent productivity, an online survey conducted by America Online and Salary.com showed.
Wasted time did not include the standard lunch hour.
Of 10,044 employee respondents, 33 percent said they engaged in time-wasting activities because they didn't have enough work to do. Nearly a quarter of those surveyed said they squandered their work hours because they were underpaid.
(Read on, here.)
(Reminds me of that old SNL skit where a Japanese executive--played by Dana Carvey, I believe--goes into spin-control after calling American workers fat and lazy: "Some are fat, some are lazy, and some are fat and lazy. But I did not mean to, you know, generalize.")
If anything the "over two hours" figure probably understates the amount of slacking off. After all, survey respondents typically sugarcoat their answers (according to travel diaries no one has ever visited a nudie bar).
Nick Gillespie points to the AOL wrap-up which includes a state-by-state breakdown (Missouri tops the slacker list with 3.2 hours of screwing off per day).
In a roundabout way this should make managers warm up to telecommuting. Many resist it precisely because they're worried about workers screwing off at home.
But lots of evidence suggests telecommuters are actually more productive and, as the AOL/Salary.com survey suggests, being "at" work is no guarantee that workers are actually working.
We're often quick to notice the potential distractions at home, but as this British study points out, there are plenty of productivity-sapping distractions at the office.
- In 80 clinical trials, Dr. Glenn Wilson, a psychiatrist at King's College London University, monitored the IQ of workers throughout the day.
He found the IQ of those who tried to juggle messages and work fell by 10 points -- the equivalent to missing a whole night's sleep ...
This Harvard study argues that presenteeism–when workers are at work, but out of it–costs businesses more than absenteeism.
Perhaps more managers will shift away from the clock-punching mentality and look more closely at what workers actually accomplish.

I still laugh at this every single time I see it.
Look, I'm glad '12 Years [A Slave]' got made and it's wonderful that people are seeing it and there is another view of what happened in America. But I'm not real sure why Steve McQueen wanted to tackle that particular sort of thing.
['Fruitvale Station'] explains things like the shooting of Trayvon Martin, the problems with stop and search, and is just more poignant. America is much more willing to acknowledge what happened in the past: 'We freed the slaves! It's all good!' But to say: 'We are still unnecessarily killing black men' – let's have a conversation about that.

It's beyond belief for Hastings boss Ray
11:27pm Thursday 13th December 2012 in Sport By Mike Legg
Player-manager Sean Ray had to pinch himself as Hastings United beat Harrogate 5-4 on penalties after a remarkable FA Cup second round tie at a rocking Pilot Field.
Substitute Dee Okojie scored the crucial penalty to send the crowd wild but it was a true team effort as they booked a trip to Championship Middlesbrough.
Lee Carey fired Hastings ahead on 47 minutes from the penalty spot after Zac Attwood's run into the box was ended by Matthew Bloomer.
But it looked as if the dream was slipping away when Tom Platt volleyed an 88th minute leveller to send the match into extra time.
Hastings, though, pushed for the win in extra time before it went to the spot-kicks.
Adam Bolder missed the first for Harrogate but Danny Ellis fired over when he had a chance to be the hero for Hastings.
It didn't matter as Lee Elam skied the fifth for Harrogate and Okojie placed home the crucial kick before racing to the crowd on a never to be forgotten night at the old ground.
Ray said: "It does not seem real. It doesn't feel right. Us, Hastings United away at Middlesbrough.
"But we can't say we don't deserve it."

Bundle up, Los Angeles, and keep your umbrella close.
The National Weather Service said Thursday to expect cold weather with the possibility of rain through Friday night as a storm system drops into Southern California.
The system originates from the Gulf of Alaska, bringing with it lower temperatures, winds and snow to the mountains.
There is a 50 to 60 percent chance of rain beginning Thursday afternoon and extending into Friday. More certain is colder temperatures and snow at lower levels, the weather service said.
Gusty winds, west to northwest, are also expected, and isolated thunderstorms haven't been ruled out.
Anyone traveling to the mountains or desert should check the latest road conditions and take along warm clothes, supplies and tire chains.
For the latest weather information, go to the National Weather Service website.

If you accept the premise that the GOP must change to win, there are three GOP characteristics which may present fundamental obstacles.
1 - In America, conservatives are more homogenous, which inhibits the generation of new ideas internally.
2 - In America, conservatives are more isolated. Rural, conservative areas engage in far less external exchange of any kind than urban coastal areas. This inhibits the introduction of new ideas from the outside.
3 - Even when good ideas are made apparent, conservatives are, by definition, resistant to their adoption.
In short, Republicans are built to resist change, not seek it out.
That said, I don't fully buy the notion that characteristic change is required for GOP electoral success. Evangelists will be evangelists for a long time to come. The GOP just needs to learn to leave the sermonizing for Sundays, drop the identity politics and let the philosophy of small efficient government rise to the top of their banners.

Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered the arrest of the country's Prime Minister, Raja Pervez Ashraf, on Tuesday. The court alleges that Ashraf "violated the principle of transparency" when working on contracts for the purchase of power plants for the government as a federal minister. Authorities have 24 hours to arrest Ashraf and 16 others in connection with the case. In Islamabad, Pakistan's capital, populist cleric Muhammad Tahirul Qadri organized protests calling for reforms.

French President Francois Hollande said the bomb attacks "hit their targets" and the "deployment of forces on the ground and in the air" will continue. West African defense chiefs will meet in Bamako on Tuesday to quickly deploy 3,300 African troops to Mali. Senegal, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, and Guinea have offered to send troops to defend the Mali government, although Nigeria has cautioned about deploying troops too quickly. The U.S. has also pledged to support the Mali government.
STOLEN TRAIN CRASHES INTO BUILDING IN SWEDEN, http://rtvote.com/13zqQAH
A Swedish woman stole a four-car commuter train in Stockholm Tuesday morning, driving and crashing it into an apartment building in the suburbs. Police say the woman has been seriously injured, while no one in the apartment building was hurt. Police spokesman Lars Bystrom said the woman is being held for endangering the public and that her motives are unknown. The suspect was born in 1990 and worked for a company contracted to clean for the train operator.
Wal-Mart Plans to Hire Any Veteran Who Wants a Job, http://rtvote.com/13zrQov
Wal-Mart will announce Tuesday that it will hire any veteran who needs a job as long as they left the military the year before and were not dishonorably discharged. The program will launch on Memorial Day and will be one of the nation's biggest hiring commitments for veterans in history. First Lady Michelle Obama has called the superstore's new program "historic" and that she will work to persuade other corporations to implement something similar. Wal-mart says the commitment will create 100,000 new jobs for veterans in the next five years.

New York state legislators and Gov. Andrew Cuomo have reached a deal regarding gun control, including expanding the state's assault weapons ban and further restrictions that keep guns away from the mentally ill. New York's Senate, which has a Republican majority, passed the deal Monday night. The support came from legislators from New York City and Long Island. No Republicans from upstate New York voted for the deal, which will go to the Assembly Tuesday. Nationally, President Obama will most likely support an executive order to expand background checks on gun purchasers.

Most everyone is probably familiar with the red, white and blue Uncle Sam armed forces recruiting posters that proclaim "I want YOU for the U.S. Army" or similar slogans.
Despite their perfect 23-0 record and a No. 12 ranking in the current TABC/Texas Prep Basketball Class 4-A poll, the Jacksonville High School Fight'n Indian basketball team needs YOU!
Apparently an unblemished docket and a lofty state ranking are not enough to get 750 fannies into the bleachers at the Jacksonville Gymnasium for Indian home games.
Although the Tribe play in the smallest building in District 16-4A — the remainder of the venues, on average, hold just over 2,000 people — the Indians have yet to sell out a home game this season, and that, frankly, is a crying shame.
It may be decades before another Jacksonville High basketball team reaches the level that the 2012-13 edition have been playing at this season.
Several loyal Jacksonville basketball supporters that have followed Indian basketball for decades say that this year's team is the best Tribe hoops unit to come along since the (coach) John Alexander era of the 1980's — that's nearly thirty years ago.
Twenty three games, 17 of which were played on the road, and 23 wins, including tournament championships in Madisonville, Fairfield and Tatum, is nothing short of incredible.
To further illustrate the team's achievement, consider the fact that the Indians are the only squad in the Class 4A Top 25 that have not lost a single game this season.
The District 16-4A season opens up tonight (7:30 p.m.) with the Lindale Eagles scheduled to pay a visit to the Indians, and how nice it would be to reward the Tribesmen with a full house of 750 screaming Jacksonville faithful in the seats.
And it isn't just tonight that head coach Brent Kelley's guys need the fans in the house.
After this evening's game, there will be only four, that's right, just four, more opportunities to catch the Jacksonville boys at home — Jan. 22 vs. John Tyler, Feb. 1 vs. Corsicana, Feb. 5 vs. Nacogdoches and Feb. 8 when Whitehouse is schedule to stroll in.
On each one of those nights the gym should be full and should be full-throttle rocking.
What better way to let the players know how much their accomplishments this season are appreciated by Indian fans.
And for the nay sayers out there; the ones that believe regardless of how many people choose to turnout for the games, the final outcome will still be the same, we'll that's just not true.
"Our crowds have been good this year, but it would be nice for our kids to see our place full," Kelley said. "Hopefully now that the girls and the boys will both be playing on the same night, everyone will decide to come out and support these kids. They have been working hard all year and they notice how many people are in the stands and for them to come out and see our place full would really mean a lot to them."

How to make the 1500 series silverado height the same as HD or 2500 series silverado
I have an 06 1500 Series silverado and did not want to spend $2000 on suspension lift and only want like a 2" or 3" lift. Will a body lift or some kind of change be done so that I can have that same height look.
Saw a body lift kit from jegs for $400 and wondered if it was worth it.
Was going to do keys and add a leaf if that is a better direction.
Please help me make an educated choice!!!
Don2006 Chevy Silverado crew cab 1500
I believe you can get 2-ish inches of lift out of a Readylift leveling kit for about 250 clams -- assuming you install it, yourself. Readylift tends to get some pretty good reviews. However, there's no substitute for word-of-mouth commentary and, if I recall correctly, @Sierraowner5.3 has one and did the installation, himself. Granted, his install was for a NNBS truck whereas you and I have NBS trucks, but still, he can give you some insight as to the installation process and what he thinks of the kit.
ReadyLift is what came to my mind as-well. I am thinking about getting one down the road. It may come sooner then I thought tho. :D SurrealOne said what I was thinking and more. :D
They keep saying the right person will come. I think mine is my truck.
"No offense" means "I'm about to insult you,but don't get mad."
You can do keys and blocks, or i have seen 2500 torsion bars in a 1500 which is kind of the same method. Imho the body lifts show too much frame and only the body sits higher.01' 1500 LT Z71 ECSB 5.3L

As metro-east residents dug out from a few inches of snow on Saturday, the National Weather Service predicted a high temperature on Sunday of 29, followed by a work week warm-up.
The temperatures are expected to reach 40 on Monday. The forecast for Thursday includes partly sunny skies and a high temperature of 50 degrees.
The wet snow provided great material to make snowballs and snowmen.
It also gave Belleville Fire Department Capt. Chuck Grider a chance to breakout his snowblower.
After his 24-hour shift as a firefighter, Grider went back to work Saturday, snowblowing five of his neighbor's driveways.
Some of his neighbors need help because of health issues. Grider said he doesn't mind.
"I paid a $500 for this snowblower a couple of years ago. Snowblowers don't get a lot of mileage on their motors," Grider said.
After finishing the neighbors' driveways, he cleared his daughter's driveway and his mother's driveway.
Next May, Grider will have spent 30 years on the Belleville Fire Department, so he said he is used to long hours.
"They call me 'Lucky Chucky' because I just do it," Grider said. "It's like having a baby. I sleep when I am tired, eat when I am hungry."

McALESTER —
A Grammy-award winning recording artist is set to perform in a benefit concert Thursday night, Aug. 22, at Life Church in McAlester.
Jason Crabb, who won the 2010 Grammy for Best Southern/Country/Bluegrass Gospel Album for his self-titled debut release, is bringing his band to McAlester for a full-length concert at the church, at 1300 S. George Nigh Expressway in McAlester.
The concert is a benefit performance for the Kiddin' Around with Samson Relay for Life team, said Valerie Lalli, co-captain of the team along with Kristen Lloyd.
Lalli said the concert starts at 7 p.m., with the doors opening at 5:30 p.m. All tickets are $20 and will be available at the door, she said. Tickets are general admission, which means those attending the performance can sit where they can find an available seat.
In addition to songs from his "Jason Crabb" debut album, Crabb is also set to perform songs from his new 2013 release, "Love is Stronger."
Crabb's performances have won critical acclaim.
"He's one of the most moving singers, for sure," said Lalli, who characterized Crabb as absolutely passionate about his music.
Along with his Grammy award, Crabb has also won numerous Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association, including 2012 awards for Male Artist of the Year and Artist of the Year.
In 2011, Crabb won a Dove Award for Song of the Year for "Somebody Like Me," as well as a Dove Award for Traditional Recorded Gospel Song of the Year for "Go Tell It on the Mountain," along with another Dove Award for Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year for "Joseph."
In addition to his solo career, Crabb also performs as a member of the Crabb Family. He will be performing with his own solo band during his McAlester performance, said Lalli. Concessions will be available during the concert, she said.
Those attending the concert should have a chance to meet Crabb at some point during the evening, said Lalli, because a "meet and greet" event is being planned.
Those organizing the event wanted to offer area residents a chance to have a hopefully inspiring experience while also helping Relay for Life.
Last Year, the Kiddin' Around with Samson Team raised $35,000 and won second in the state in a fund-raising competition, Lalli said. This year, the team would like to finish higher.
Money raised by the Relay for Life Kiddin' Around Samson Team stays in Pittsburg County, according to Lalli. Funds are used for things such as helping with scholarships for children who have had cancer, to buying wigs for women who have lost their hair because of medical treatment.
Meanwhile, Crabb has another concert scheduled in southeastern Oklahoma this week, according to his Web site. He's set to perform at the Cupco Church in Talihina on Friday night, with that concert also scheduled to start at 7 p.m.
It's a chance for local and area residents to see and hear the Grammy-winning artist up close and personal before he moves on to performing in larger venues. Crabb is set to perform at the Brady Theater in Tulsa on Oct. 11 as Michael W. Smith's "very special guest" during Smith's Worship Around the World Tour.

You've got to admire the DIY ethic of "Another Earth." Raw and grainy, it is steadfastly committed to its own smarts and vision — even if it ultimately falls short of its ambitions.
That wreck leaves a grieving husband and father, John (William Mapother, TV's "Lost"), who spirals into an existence of isolation and depression. Rhoda goes to prison for four years. Upon her release, she seeks out John to apologize, but loses her nerve and pretends to be from a maid service. Through a tortured contrivance, she winds up working for John, cleaning up the mess she has literally made of his life.Looming over the story, literally and figuratively, is another planet that is evidently an alternate Earth. Rhoda, eager to escape her crushing guilt, hopes to win a space trip to what is known as Earth 2.
The movie, which opens Friday, doesn't explain the sudden appearance of this wannabe Earth. That's an understandable omission given the concept's scientific absurdity, but "Another Earth" has plenty of more significant problems, from a ponderous pace to heavy-handed script.
Still, director Mike Cahill somehow stitches these failings into a haunting and provocative work that lingers on the memory.

Manatee hospitals extinguish smoking
Date: August 28, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Lakewood Ranch Medical Center, Manatee Memorial Hospital and Blake Medical Center announced today tobacco use will no longer be permitted on their campuses on Sept. 1.
Following the example of the hospitals and health departments in Sarasota, DeSoto and Charlotte counties — which became tobacco free in 2007 — and other hospitals across the nation, the three hospitals in Manatee have decided to become tobacco free citing that the health risks of tobacco use conflict with their objective of providing a safe and healthy environment for patients, employees, physicians and visitors.
Establishment of this policy recognizes the health, safety and comfort benefits of tobacco-free air and the special responsibility that hospitals have in maintaining, and promoting a healthy and safe environment.
"The American Heart Association is an advocate for smoke-free workplaces at the state and local levels," said Dr. Bill Gower, past president of the American Heart Association's Greater Southeast Affiliate.

Burger Hybrid
1 portobella mushroom cap, roughly chopped
3oz shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps roughly chopped
1 large shallot, roughly chopped
1 pound very lean ground beef
Sea salt
4 slices of your favorite cheese
4 Par-baked mini sub rolls
1 ripe avocado
Romaine lettuce
1) Place the mushrooms and shallot into a food processor and work until very fine. Sauté in the olive oil, over medium heat until mushroom mixture is soft, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool to room, temp.
2) Mix together mushroom mixture and ground beef-- it will be loose. Cover and place into the fridge to firm up for at least 1 hour, but up to over night. Make 4 patties, sprinkle with sea salt and grill (adding cheese at the end of grilling, just to melt). Bake off the rolls and slice the avocado.
Serve on warm, crunchy rolls with slices of avocado and Romaine (and maybe a bit of mayo and Sriracha)
No one will ever know that these brownies are lower in fat and calories and higher in fiber than regular brownies. They are super-moist with a decadent chocolate flavor.
Dry Ingredients:
1 cup oat flour
½ cup good quality, unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon instant decaf coffee
Wet Ingredients:
¾ cup mashed, baked sweet potato (one potato)
½ cup unsweetened applesauce (one snack cup)
2 large eggs
¾ cup Turbinado (raw) sugar
1 and ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray an 8X8 baking pan with non-stick spray.
Mix the dry ingredients together and set aside. In a separate large bowl, mix together wet ingredients, whisking until smooth.
Add the dry into the wet ingredients and stir just to incorporate, do not over-mix.
Scoop batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16, 2 X 2" squares.
Creamy Asparagus Pasta
This one became a favorite as soon as I developed it. It is such a delicate, lovely pasta sauce for spring. It needs no embellishment; I was tempted to try it with smoked salmon once and ham once, but the sauce is too subtle for these additions and gets lost. Enjoy as is!
2 and ½ cups chicken stock (or veg stock)
1 kg (2.2 pounds) asparagus, woody ends trimmed and discarded, the rest cut into 1 inch pieces—saving the tips aside and slicing them in half lengthwise
1 medium shallot, minced
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ cup cold water
3 tablespoons cream cheese
1 tablespoon butter
Parmesan cheese
1) Bring chicken or vegetable stock to a boil, add minced shallot and reduce heat.
2) Add the asparagus pieces (not the tips) and bring just to a strong simmer. Simmer for 8 minutes until quite tender but still green.
3) Remove asparagus from stock with a slotted spoon and set aside in a bowl. Bring stock back to a boil, add tips and simmer for 6 minutes until just tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
4) Measure stock in pot—it needs to equal 2 and ½ cups—add water to bring back up to 2 and ½ cups. Bring back to a simmer.
5) Shake cornstarch in a jar with ¼ cup cold water and add mixture to simmering stock. Whisk until simmering and thickened. Add lemon zest.
6) Remove from the heat and immediately whisk in cream cheese and butter—whisk well to incorporate.
7) Add in asparagus pieces (not tips) and purée with an immersion blender until smooth.
8) Adjust seasoning, it may need salt, and add in the asparagus tips.
Serve over hot pasta and toss with Parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper.

A former Maine prosecutor who disappeared just hours after an appeals court upheld his child pornography convictions was arrested Sunday after nearly three weeks on the run, officials said.
U.S. marshals arrested James Cameron at 11:15 a.m. while coming out of a convenience store bathroom in Albuquerque, N.M., said Noel March, the U.S. marshal for Maine.
The U.S. Marshals Service in Maine was working with marshals in New Mexico after uncovering information that he might be headed in that direction, March said.
"He was still driving his 1999 tan Audi, but the plates had been changed," March said.
Cameron disappeared in the late-night or early morning hours of Nov. 14 or 15 after cutting off his court-ordered electronic monitoring bracelet and driving off from the rented home he had been living in the central Maine town of Rome.
Cameron, 50, served as an assistant attorney general in Augusta until the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit began investigating him on child pornography allegations in 2008. He was convicted on the charges in 2010 and sentenced the following year to 16 years in prison.
He was sent to a federal prison in Colorado, but a federal appeals court in August 2011 ordered that Cameron be freed on unsecured bail pending his appeal.
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Nov. 14 upheld convictions against Cameron on seven counts while vacating convictions on six counts of sending, receiving and possessing child pornography in 2006 and 2007.
The appeals court ordered the case sent back to U.S. District Court for resentencing.
Officials said that after the court issued its order, Cameron went to his ex-wife's home to inform her and their son he was going back to prison. He later left his home without warning, evading capture for nearly three weeks.
"His flight didn't buy him much freedom," March said.
March said the U.S. Attorney's office in Maine will begin the proceedings of having Cameron returned to Maine and decide what additional charges Cameron will face.

A poll by InsiderAdvantage and WSB-TV has confirmed what metro Atlanta commuters have known for nearly two months now: the implementation of the I-85 HOT lane project has been a complete failure.
InsiderAdvantage CEO Matt Towery told WSB reporter Lori Geary:
"It's a total disaster. Without doubt one of the biggest blunders in the history of Georgia politics since I've been covering it."
Only 4% of those polled thought the project was effective, and 45% thought that the project had actually made traffic worse.

- Reviews
Exquisitely worked in bronze and sterling silver, this Smithsonian Castle Window Jewelry Collection has been created exclusively for the Smithsonian by famed jewelry designer Cynthia Gale.

The matching pierced earrings dangle gracefully from French wires with dual-metal rosette accents. The on-trend bronze cuff bracelet echoes the window tracery with alternating rosette insets and cutouts. The post earrings is a rich and unexpected pairing of bronze and sterling silver bringing to life the beautiful tracery of "The Castle" window motif. Sterling silver rosette insets enrich the design.
Smithsonian Castle Window Necklace $135.00
Smithsonian Castle Window Pierced Dangles $80.00
Smithsonian Castle Window Pierced Post Earrings $90.00
Smithsonian Castle Window Cuff Bracelet $140.00
Museum Provenance
Affectionately known as "The Castle," the 1855 Smithsonian Institution Building was designed by American architect James Renwick, Jr. to emulate England's oldest universities. It counts among its Medieval-Revival architectural details a large circular window above the entrance facing the National Mall. Architectural windows like this date back to medieval cathedrals and were always placed high to catch the light.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

at them visiting the restaurant where Yuna dines sometimes. What are they going to do? Analyze her leftovers and have the Japanese Federation feed the same stuff to Asada?
at them visiting the restaurant where Yuna dines sometimes. What are they going to do? Analyze her leftovers and have the Japanese Federation feed the same stuff to Asada?
BTW, aren't these creeps the same ones who pulled a hidden camera to Korean judge during 2010 Olys?
As Dick Button would say, "I love it, I love it."
Why Japanese media do the stalker thing which even Korean media never do??
They know even that the width of yuna's new boots is narrower than ever.
Of course this is not surprising, considering a history they knew already before Olympics about yuna's ankle injury which Korean media and people all got to know after Olympics.
Just, weird or disgusting.

Meh, I wish we got figure skating news on TV like that.
Yuna Kim is popular in Japan?
Why Japaness media paparazzi Yuna Kim? Japan has their own talented skaters.
This thread is titled Yu-Na Kim News UPDATE. I haven't read all the pages. Is there any actual news at all in this thread? All I've seen is the same-old same-old Yuna-Mao flame wars.
The latest new is that Yuna's new coach has injured his back by constantly bending over and trying to get her to point her toes.
Apparently we will see the same old Yuna with nice jumps and everything else mediocre at best.
OK. Here's the news.
Five soccer goals and 200 skating points earned David Villa of Spain and Kim Yu-Na of South Korea the honor of being named the United States Sports Academy's 2010 Male and Female Athletes of the Year.
While Nadal dominated his sport, Yu-Na dominated hers. The world's No. 1 figure skater won the ladies' singles gold medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics and is the first female skater to surpass the 200-point mark under the International Skating Union judging system. She also dominated the voting on the Female Athlete of the Year ballot.

Congrats, Yuna! started 2010' winning the olympics, ends winning the USSA award with Villa. good for her.
Yuna fans are not so into Mao that leave meaningless comments on her. then how about changing the name of this thread to 'Yuna's award-winning list of 2010' and set a new one 'Yuna on Japanese tv'? actually i can't remember all as she has won so many awards this year. and by separating two, maybe who wants to make the old Yuna- Mao war could move to the JPN tv thread-
well i can't understand japanese way of thinking. why they're curious about Yuna's boots size changing? ewwwww when contact is denied, paparazzi is common way to make program in japan? if i were a skater at EWIP i could sue the JPN media kkk
I mean... it's paparazzi. Are we expecting them to be in any way civil?
Looks like Yuna made yet another donation for children in need. An insider at UNICEF Korea said Yuna donated US$45,000 today.
Quote from Korean Article
Official.Today, the Korean Committee for UNICEF announced that Yu-Na Kim, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, donated to 5 children of families without parents through the Korean Committee for UNICEF.
The donation was suggested by Yu-Na Kim who has consistently donated for unfortunate youths. She told the Korean Committee for UNICEF that she want to help children of families without parents. The Korean Committee for UNICEF recommended 5 unfortunate students without parents who live in Won-Ju and Ham-Pyeong. The donation (about $9,000 for each) were delievered to the students on Dec 24 and 27.
Becuase Yu-Na Kim is in LA to train, ATS, her management, sent staffs to the students and offered words of encouragement with presents (Yu-Na Teddy bear, etc).
Yu-Na Kim conveyed messages "I'm so sorry that I can't go visit in person but it is my pleasure that I can help you a bit. Though absent in body, I will cheer you up always in spirit."

While the two winning tickets for last night's $580 million Powerball jackpot were sold in Arizona and Missouri, there's still another big winner afoot in Wynnewood.
A Powerball ticket worth $1 million was sold at the Lancaster Avenue Sunoco at Wynnewood, according to a PA Lottery press release. The gas station is located at 330 E Lancaster Ave., across from the Whole Foods parking lot.
The winning ticket was one of only three $1 million winners in Pennsylvania, according to the PA Lottery's website. To win the million, each player had to match five of five numbers. Another 28 players from Pennsylvania matched four of five and the Powerball, earning themselves $10,000. Another 931 players matched four of the five numbers and got $100.
