This beer poors a very, very dark brown verging on black with a a thick kaki head that fills the glass with lacing on its way down.
I pick up dark roasty and dark fruit notes in the aroma with a huge clove smell.
The flavor has a lot of clove to it with some nice dark malt roast and fruitiness. Supprisingly smooth for a 10% beer.
Smooth creamy mouthfeel that keeps you wanting another drink. Clean and freash with no alcohol dryness.

Served from growler into a Green Man snifter. Poured a massively dark brown with a two finger khaki colored head that subsided to a minimal amount slowly. Maintained phenomenal lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, subtle roasted malt, dark fruit, bread, and fruit. The flavor was of roasted malt, sweet malt, dark fruit, bread, subtle chocolate, and grape. It had a medium feel on the palate with medium carbonation. Overall this was a fairly good brew. There was a really nice complexity to this brew that made it very enjoyable and easy to drink for me. Not sure where the grape aspect came from on the flavor, but it really blended in pretty well with the rest of the brew. Glad I got the chance to try this one via a counter pressure filled growler. I suggest you get this one your palate as well.

A: Poured from a bottle to a tulip glass. Had a jet black color and a thick, muddy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, long-lasting head. Good lacing.
S: Smelled of yeast, malt, dark fruits, and chocolate.
T: Tasted of Belgian yeast, raisins, plums, malt, and a hint of chocolate. An incredibly focused and robust flavor. Never overpowering, but certainly tasty.
M: A highly-carbonated beer with a smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
O: This is one of the better examples of an American version of a BSDA. Very well made.

On tap at Pigs Fly Pizzeria.
The beer was a coca cola color with a small tan head.
Mostly a dark fruit aroma. Some roasted malt and a little bit of herbal hops.
Raisin and plum taste. Chocolate, tiny bit of coffee. Hint of hops.
Very smooth. Medium-bodied.
Nice beer.

Poured on tap into a pint glass. This one pours a dark mahogany with a thin layer of biege foam.
Caramel is noticable with a rich and deep malt body with a little bit of grapes and plumbs lingering in the background. Rich milk chocolate is a dominant flavor on the pallet. Very sweet and actually not to much going on otherwise. There is a faint fruity character to the finsh but mostly this seems chocolatey.
A little bit lighter on the body than one would expect. The carbonation is subtle. Overall not bad. A little one dimensional, but that doesn't mean it's not tasty.

hazy reddish tinted mahogany colored brown with a big three finger high head of foamy and sticky off white colored lace on the top. nestled into a bed of just thin brownish lace and a nice layer of foam across the top.
. The first assault came from a deep rooted spiciness with hints of fig very predominant here. As it started to come through a little clearer lots of dark fruity like smells started to emerge and take over. A nice amount of plums, pears, raisins and even a touch of grape were easily picked up among a nice backbone of cereal grains and a touch of grassy like freshness in the back. Now this was not terribly strong, however it did have a lot of raisin like flavor in it that almost becoming a little too much as it went on. There were hints of plum and fig as well as some earthy tones in the back but the majority of this was a plum raisin spice medium bodied and somewhat of a grain like consistency to it.

Enjoyed this on tap at Novar'e Res in Portland.
This beer was very complex and went through quite a few phases as I worked through the glass. The tulip glass came with a finger of light tan head that had very fine bubbles and decent retention. A slight touch of lace remains. The beers was a dull dark brown color, but when held to the light there are some burgundy tones.
Aroma was pretty deep, some roasted malt, a touch of grape and a hint of chocolate. The yeast notes provide some depth to the aroma here.
As mentioned above, quite complex. At first there was a light cocoa/chocolate flavor. This gave way to some herbaceous notes and then some dark fruit. At times there was a distinct almond flavor as well. The Belgian yeast acts in the flavor much as it does in the aroma. Provides a subtle complexity and depth.
Smooth and silky with tiny pin prick carbonation. Medium bodied.
I really enjoyed drinking this and spent quite a while working through the glass and all of it's changes. As I went to post this, I was quite shocked that it was an overall B+... Wow, I think it's quite a bit better than that.

On tap in a shaker pint at Bodega on 1/16/11
Ruby-brown color. Dark, but far from black. 1/4th inch head thins quickly yet leaves a good amount of drippy lace. Wispy retention.
The nose offers a full plate of aromatics - Belgian-style yeast with a bubblegum penchant and hints of spice, roasted dark malts and grains, citric nips of orange and boozy overtones. Dark fruits become strong as it warms.
As potent to taste; quite an in-you-face sort of thing. The yeast uses the malts as a base to launch an assault of spicy fruit and cotton candy notions. That causes the hops to burst forth in a cavalcade of pine and citric bitterness; enough so to be surprising. Notes of raisin, plum, brown sugar, grain and roastiness. Not too boozy.
I'd clock it at a notch or two under full-bodied. Carbonation is vigorous, making this a lively, crackling beer. Slight granular feel underneath. The finish is quick and crisp, sporting jabs of residual hops and spice. Swirling calms the carbonation and roasted notes emerge.
I had been excited to try this for a while and had no idea what to expect approaching this one. There are certainly lots of interesting things going on. Enjoyable.

Growler fill from DeCicco's in Ardsley, NY. $6.99 for 32 ounces.
Pours is darkest of browns, long lasting mocha head, goes to the anticipated tiny bubble film and leaves a modest sample of bits of lacing.
Dark malt nose, some bourbon, smoke, raisins and a hint of funk in the nose.
Complex and tasty BSDA, flavors mentioned above carry through onto the palate. Musty raisins come to mind, pumpernickel bread, ripe dark fruits, dregs of a whiskey barrel. A wee bit thin, lacking the depth of flavor of some of the heavy hitter of the genre. For me that only adds to the drinkability and the ability to have more then one ...or two..well done, nice job here..not an easy style to pull off with grace and this one hits the note...

On tap at Tyler's Taproom in Carrboro.Poured into a standard pint glass a deep dark chocolate brown with a thinner but well sustained beige colored head,wrong glassware so its hard to judge the looks of the beer,it did have a nice color and a tight head.Dark fruit and light phenols mainly in the nose,not to strong but pleasant.A mix of dark chocolate and candied fruit on the palate,not overly sweet and or phenolic,a bit of a drying dark toast in the finish.A pretty good Belgian strong dark not overly sweet and the yeast is under control.

Valparaiso (0-3)
11/21/2013 | Valparaiso, Ind. (ARC) | Attendance: 512
Thursday, November 21, 2013
The Valparaiso Crusaders dropped their home opener to IUPUI Thursday night 84-51. Sharon Karungi (Kampala, Uganda [Northern Oklahoma College]) and Jessi Wiedemann (Palatine, Ill./Fremd) both scored in double-digits as the Brown and Gold continued their excellence from the free-throw line.
The Jaguars featured a bench twelve deep and head coach Austin Parkinson had no qualms utilizing his team's depth. IUPUI shot 17-of-28 from the floor in the first half as nine players recorded points. Five Jaguars had at least five points at the break as IUPUI went into the locker room with a 43-23 advantage.
Karungi had eight points at halftime on 3-of-9 shooting from the floor.
Valpo faced a full-court pressure similar to what it saw versus Illinois in Champaign a week ago. On a positive note, the Crusaders have lowered their turnover total in each game thus far. Thursday night, the Brown and Gold committed 18 turnovers.
"Yes, we're tired, but so is every other team in the country. We need to stop making excuses and play better basketball," head coach Tracey Dorow said after the game.
A weary Crusader squad was unable to draw closer than the 20-point uphill battle it faced at the break.
Wiedemann recorded multiple three-pointers for the second straight game as she knocked down two on five attempts. The sophomore was also a perfect 4-for-4 from the free-throw line.
Sophomore Abby Dean (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) scored nine points as she shot 2-of-3 from the field and 5-for-5 from the line, but IUPUI held on for an 84-51 victory at the ARC. The Jaguars enjoyed a 56-9 advantage in bench points.
Valpo (0-4) travels to Tennessee Tech (1-2) Sunday evening. The Golden Eagles will host the Crusaders at a 2:00 pm CT tipoff in Cookeville.

Huffington Post Offers Paid Internship: The Intern Pays
This isn't a commentary on the value of a journalist.
The headline: Jumpstart Your Career in the Blogsphere With An Eye Opening Internship at The Huffington Post in New York or Washington
But for this position, no applications necessary. Just $15,500--that is, to top the last bid of $13,000. The internship is part of a charity auction for the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights. If you're interested, you've still got two weeks to bid. As long as you're at least 18 years old, you'll get two to three months interning in the Huffington Post offices in Washington or New York--your choice for your generous contribution.
There's plenty of Internet chatter about the significance of the auction and the sad state of journalism and falling value of journalists--that people have to pay their way to an internship. But I'm not sure that's quite the takeaway here. The fact is that media still holds a kind of cultural allure (there have been 10 bids so far, after all). Back in the 1970s' heyday of journalism, I suspect the Washington Post could have auctioned off an internship without it seeming a commentary on a journalist's worth.
Of course, in due time, this charitable model could indeed become a business model. AdAge reports that columnist Simon Dumenco already suggested the site charge its bloggers.

Comments about Topeak Power 21 Function Tool:

When bad things happen to defenseless cars...
We all know how annoying those fake, stick-on fender vents are. I'm talking about these things:
Super cheap and super annoying, even when used properly on the front fender/quarter panel as "engine vents". Well, twice this past week I saw some that were used improperly. I saw a Chrysler 300 sedan with one of the single, large "vents" stuck on the rear quarter panel and then just today I saw a Ford Expedition with the three little squares (just like the pic above) under his rear-most window! Seriously, what are these people thinking when they buy those and put them on??? I wish I had some pictures.
Anyways, this thread is for any tails of misfortune you have seen on cars. This includes horrible paint jobs, poor repairs, giant "bookshelf" wings, trucks lifted way too high, you name it. Pics always help. Post away!!Clint (TX) 2001 Silverado LS 4.8L auto 2wd ECSB [GARAGE]

I once saw a neon with a huge wing on the back with a body kit. I wanted to say to the guy, no matter what you do to it, it will always be a neon. But, I too hate those fake air vents. I also hate the fake chrome wipers and the chrome door trim that you can get. It all looks so ugly-K&N Air Filter

U.S. Rep. Keith Rothfus, R-Sewickley, has introduced legislation designed to make it possible for seniors to switch between different Medicare Advantage plans.
The 12th district congressman, along with Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore., proposed H.R. 2453, the Medicare Beneficiary Preservation of Choice Act of 2013, on Thursday. The bill calls for restoring an open enrollment period that, until 2011, allowed participants to change plans within the first three months of each year.
"It's a real simple bill," Rothfus said.
Rothfus' proposal would permit enabled seniors to switch plans once between Jan. 1 and March 31. The goal would be to provide participants a chance to see if different plans could meet their health care needs while allowing time to correct a selection mistake.
A similar plan previously existed. However, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, replaced the 90-day window with an annual 45-day period in which subscribers can disenroll from Medicare Advantage, but not actually make a move within the system.
"One of the bad parts – and there are many bad parts – of Obamacare was shortening opportunities for people to be enrolling in Medicare Advantage," Rothfus said. "Medicare Advantage is a program where you get your Medicare benefits, but you get them through a private insurer. You pay a little bit more of a premium, but it's a very effective program."
The Alliance for Retired Americans, an organization with more than 3 million members, supported the 45-day provision in Obama's health care act, feeling it protected the Medicare trust fund from being used to unnecessarily subsidize the insurance industry. "Big picture, (the Rothfus bill) is about a windfall for the insurance companies," said Richard Fiesta, the alliance's director of government and political affairs.
Another senior citizen advocacy group, the 60 Plus Association, has offered support for Rothfus' proposal.
"Given the complexity of selecting a health care plan, seniors should have the opportunity to switch plans and make a decision about which plan works best for them. Reinstating the Medicare Advantage open enrollment period is a commonsense solution that restores customer choice for seniors and ensures that they have the coverage that best meets their needs," said Jim Martin, chairman and founder of the 60 Plus Association.
There are more Medicare participants in Pennsylvania's 12th than any other congressional district in the country, according to Rothfus. Thirty-eight percent of the commonwealth's Medicare beneficiaries were enrolled in Medicare Advantage programs last year, the third-highest total of any state. Oregon was second with 41 percent.
"As representative of a state with the second highest enrollment in Medicare Advantage, I have seen the successes that stem from allowing our seniors greater access to health insurance plans that fit their specific needs," Schrader said. "This legislation would restore the open enrollment period, change the way we deliver Medicare Advantage to our beneficiaries and grant our seniors nationwide greater access in choosing a health insurance plan that best fits their situation."
Similar bills were introduced to the House and Senate in 2011. Sen. Bob Casey Jr., a Democrat, sponsored the Senate bill, which the state's other senator, Republican Pat Toomey, co-sponsored.
The 12th district's former
congressman, Mark Critz,
D-Johnstown, and Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Hollidaysburg, from the 9th district, co-sponsored the House version.
Both bills died in committee.
Rothfus feels the legislation has a better chance of passing now.
"I am hopeful that I'm going to be able to push this through this year. ... What do I think will be different about getting it through this time? The mere fact that Obamacare continues to be implemented and people are starting to notice the impact," said Rothfus.
This is the first piece of legislation of which Rothfus, a freshman, has been the primary sponsor.

The owners and players know the clock is ticking and are taking Wednesday's negotiations into the night. NFL Network's Albert Breer reported that the talks will continue past business hours and that both sides are aware negotiations are hitting a critical period.
The two sides began this round of talks at 9 a.m. ET and met for more than 11 hours. The league and owners were represented by commissioner Roger Goodell, Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Chiefs chairman/CEO Clark Hunt, Giants owner John Mara and Steelers president Art Rooney II. The players were represented by NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith and general counsel Richard Berthelsen, Colts C Jeff Saturday, Ravens CB Domonique Foxworth, Falcons OT Tyson Clabo and retired players Sean Morey, Don Davis and Pete Kendall.
Clabo was a new face at the negotiations, as he was invited to help represent the interests of the hundreds of pending free agents who will be affected by the rules that will govern the post-lockout weeks.
According to Breer, progress was made on smaller issues and language, but the problems in core areas remain.
The two sides are expected to work on those core issues Thursday, Friday and possibly the weekend.
On Wednesday morning, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady had released a statement, saying, "it is time to get this deal done." The league responded that "now is the time to reach an agreement."
Reports indicate that a deal could be reached this weekend, or at least by the July 21 owners meeting so that it can be ratified at that time. The Hall of Fame game featuring the Bears and Rams on Aug. 7 remains in jeopardy.

Moral victories don't count in the standings, but rarely if ever does a losing outcome get a pep talk by an official.
Such was the case with chain crew chief Doug Fulkerson walked across Creek Nation Field at Indian Bowl in Muskogee's home opener on Friday night to explain that the Roughers just, in his words, "put the fear of God" in the two-time defending Class 7A champs from Arkansas.
Considering this same school rolled to six touchdowns in as many drives in last year's 55-14 meeting, style points had some value in what became a 27-22 loss to the Fayetteville Bulldogs.
And if you listen to running back Tyriq Beasley, the Almighty might have indeed had an assist in what became a furious fourth-quarter rally that leaves Muskogee at 0-3 but infused with a shot of energy heading into next week's District 6A-2 opener with Broken Arrow.
The 130-pound sophomore running back finally begin getting some seams to run through and used one to go 33 yards to paydirt with 9:47 left to begin the surge, capping arguably the most impressive drive of the season so far, a five-play, 80-yard drive.
"We got with the line and prayed or whatever together at halftime to God to help make them better blockers and get some seams, some touchdowns and get back in the game," said Beasley, who finished with 66 yards on 12 carries.
James Buckhanan then recovered an onsides kick and two plays later, quarterback Quintahj Cherry, as he did on several occasions once the run game opened up, took advantage of a safety playing up for the run and found Jy'Reece Vanhook (3 catches, 92 yards on the night) on a 44-yard touchdown pass off a fade, cutting the difference to five points with 8:52 to play.
Vanhook, a transfer from Tulsa McLain, had a 34-yard reception on the previous drive.
Two big defensive stops by defensive end Tracy Hughes forced Fayetteville to punt. Muskogee drove from its 9 to the Bulldogs 34, but Cherry was caught on a blitz, fumbled and despite a team recovery, the 17-yard loss forced a punt with 2:08 to play.
The Bulldogs collected two first downs, ran out the clock, and escaped the upset bid.
"I knew we had the potential and confidence in ourselves to put it together," said Cherry, who was 22-of-28 for 236 yards. "That second half, we came out, fought and showed everyone what we're made of."
Maybe Muskogee head coach Josh Blankenship had a point when he insisted his team were close to doing this despite two lopsided losses to start the season. At times, the running game looked to pop something in the early going, but a holding penalty would nullify it.
"It's an effort penalty," he said. "A great block can be interpreted as a hold. I hate 'em and they kill a drive, but it's about fundamentals and not discipline.
"We told those guys, if they're going to make a mistake, at least do it aggressively. And we were able to find creases for the first time in three weeks and that opens up some other things."
Braydon Cook opened up the MHS defense for 136 yards rushing on the evening, including a 1-yard touchdown run late in the first half that sent the Bulldogs up 17-0. He also led the team in receptions (2 for 48 yards).
When Beasley fumbled on the first play from scrimmage to start the second half, Fayetteville quarterback Mitch Marshall quickly answered, hitting Blake Power for a 17-yard TD to make it a 24-0 game just 21 seconds into the third quarter.
An intercepted pass by Noah Ashley sparked the Roughers' first score. Cherry found Anthony King for 20 yards and Buckhanan for 21 yards on a third-and-13 from the Fayetteville 21 to set up the quarterback's 1-yard run to get on the board with 6:19 left in the third.
Cal Conway's second field goal of the contest, this one from 42 yards, make it 27-7 with 11:06 to play.
Then it got interesting.
"We need to take a step every week," Ashley said. "They came in and thought they would run over us. But, missed opportunities. We've got to go back and start again in the morning."
Fayetteville departed 3-0. Muskogee has some momentum, and some props from guys in stripes.

The Valdosta Daily Times
It was a dominating weekend for Valdosta State baseball.
The Blazers outscored the Paine College Lions 27-0 in the weekend's three-game series — including 9-0 in Sunday's finale — at Billy Grant Field, recording 29 hits and 17 stolen bases in the process.
On the hill, the Blazers, who improved to 5-2 on the season, were just as dominant, allowing just one Lion base runner to get to third base the entire weekend. Across the three games, the Blazer pitching staff struck out 24 Lion batters, and allowed just eight total hits.
"It came at a good time," Valdosta State coach Greg Guilliams said. "We were 2-2 coming in and we will see how we play Wednesday (versus Georgia Southwestern). I would definitely think this would be a confidence builder."
The Blazers didn't allow a walk until Sunday's starter, Jeremy Holcomb, issued a free pass in the sixth inning, his final inning of work. They finished the weekend allowing just three total walks.
"The only bad thing was all three walks happened in the last ball game," Guilliams said. "But maybe we got spoiled on Saturday. We make a conscious effort to throw strikes and try to get ahead and our pitchers did a good job of that this weekend."
Highlighted by Saturday night's perfect game thrown by left-hander Nick Fogarty, the Blazers' dominance started with its pitching staff. Using eight pitchers this weekend — five on Sunday — the Blazers recorded 27 straight outs that stretched from the end of the first game until the second inning of Sunday's series finale.
At the plate, eight different Blazers drove in runs on the weekend, led by Jamie McMillan and Clint Carr each with five, while 10 different Blazers scored runs.
"I don't think we faced the caliber of pitching we are going to see in the Gulf South Conference," Guilliams said. "But at the same time, you still have to be able to hit the pitches that you see."
On Sunday, Holcomb threw six scoreless innings, allowing three hits, one walk and recording four strikeouts. He was followed up by a bevy of Blazer pitchers that managed to shutdown the Lions.
At the plate, the Blazers once again teed off on Paine pitchers. They finished with nine runs on 10 hits and five stolen bases on the day, taking advantage of several walks and three Lions errors to move throughout the base pads.
The Blazers took a 3-0 lead in the second inning. Nick Rodda started the productive inning with a single, which was followed by an RBI double by Ryan McClellan, who advanced to third on a wild pitch.
McClellan scored the following at-bat when Clint Carr hit a sacrifice grounder to third. Carr reached base on a throwing error, and scored the following at-bat when leadoff batter Jake Montgomery hit a single to the outfield.
"Clint really stepped up, because Bryant Hayman was sick," Guilliams said. "Clint has done a great job catching and then Michael Gouge. Those are two guys that we count on a lot. Those guys have earned that."
After adding a run in the third inning, coming when Jake Fields scored on a grounder by Jamie McMillan, the Blazers added two more runs to their lead in the sixth inning. Rodda scored on a single by Dan Hoover and Carr scored on a sacrifice fly from Fields.
With the game's outcome nearly finalized, the Blazers added to their lead in the bottom of the eighth inning. Fields drove in two runs, Carr and pinch-runner Will Austin, on a triple — the first of the weekend — to left-center field. Later in the inning, Fields scored on an error by the Paine shortstop, making the score 9-0.

Another strong performance by junior quarterback Tyrik Rollison led the Lions (2-0) to a 45-37 win over the #25 Delta State University (1-1) at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
Rollison had 290 yards passing and two touchdowns on the night, both to Vernon Johnson, who also had 126 yards receiving.
The Statesmen began the game with an out of bounds kickoff to have the Lions start on the 35 yard line but they couldn't take advantage of it as Tyrik Rollison went down for his first sack of the season.
The Lions struggled early on with penalties, with two illegal formations on offense called against them in the first quarter, costing them crucial yards.
Taking advantage of a short field, the Statesmen scored with a 40 yard touchdown pass from Dennis Robertson to Patrick Bethley to put the score at 7-0.
In his first game of eligibility, Vernon Johnson caught a bullet that Rollison threw right through a defender for his first catch of the season, followed a few plays later with his first career touchdown catch.
True freshmen Cameron Napoleon caught his first interception that was followed by a 41 yard touchdown pass to Johnson.
The Lions struggled on special teams, giving up big punt returns to the Statesmen, who constantly started their drives at or near Lion territory.
But the strong Lion defensive line held the Statesmen at bay, sacking Robertson twice in the first quarter.
Rollison was able to pull the Lions out of starts deep in their own territory with quick feet and a strong arm, gaining 148 yards through the air and two touchdowns in the first quarter and finished the half with 243 yards passing.
The Lions offensive line struggled with penalties and an inability to protect Rollison in the pocket, as he was sacked five times in the first half.
Ronald Fields dodged multiple Statesmen defenders to return an 84 yard punt return for a touchdown, putting the Lions up 21-10 in the second quarter.
The Statesmen recognized a few repeated plays by the Lions, including a wide receiver wheel run and screen passes, stopping them at or behind the yard of scrimmage nearly every time those plays were ran.
The strong Lion defensive line kept Robertson out of the pocket and forced him to throw most of his passes while scrambling, holding him to 13 completions in 26 tries in the first half.
The Lions sacked Statesmen quarterbacks Robertson and Travis Champion eight times during the game, and defensive lineman Tevin Moore recorded three.
Johnson said it was because of the strong defensive line that the Lions were able to turn the ball over three times, including one interception return and one fumble return for a touchdown.
"They did a great job," he said. "That's the reason why we did great."
The Statesmen ended the half with a 34 yard field goal to bring it to Lions 21, Statesmen 16.
Kristoddie Woods took advantage of a fumble to start off the second half, returning it for a 17 yard fumble return for a touchdown.
Robertson went down early on in the first half with an injury and back up quarterback Champion took over the Statesmen offense.
Champion threw through the Lion defense on his first drive for a 16 yard touchdown pass to Casey Osborne, bringing it to 28-23 Lions.
In their first play of the second half, Rollison was sacked for a sixth time deep in Lion territory.
Starting Lion left tackle Jordan DeCorte went down with a leg injury early on in the third quarter, making him the second starting offensive lineman to be injured.
Two Lion defensive players, C.J. Johnson and Jeremy Dodson also went down with injuries in the third quarter.
A would be 40 yard catch by Johnson was called back because he stepped out of bounds en route to the ball.
The Statesmen had good field position for most of the second half as the Lions could not get out of their own field.
The Lions couldn't stop D'Juan Bellaire from running five yards for a touchdown, putting the Statesmen up 30 to 28 late in the third quarter.
The Lion offense stalled in the third quarter, only getting one first down in the third quarter, but came alive early on in the fourth on a trick play where Deric Davis threw a 46 yard touchdown pass to Stacy Howard.
Johnson said the offense was able to turn it around after they began executing their plays like they practiced.
The Lions injury woes continued to plague them as a third defensive player Kristoddie Woods went down early in the fourth.
Head coach Colby Carthel said the team has adopted a "next man up" mentality to make up for the injuries accrued during the game.
The Lions couldn't capitalize on a missed field goal by the Statesmen as Rollison lost a fumble deep in their own territory.
A valiant goal line defense stopped the Statesmen offense on their fourth and goal attempt.
An interesting play happened near the end of the game as Ronald Fields fumbled after an interception near the end zone but was picked up for a touchdown by Leo Migo to give the Lions a 12 point lead.
The Lions capitalized with a field goal after a bad Statesmen snap on a punt, bringing the score to 45-30 Lions.
After a one yard touchdown run by Timothy Foy, the Statesmen failed in their attempted onside kick, allowing the Lions to run down the clock for a 45-37 win.
The Lions have scored a total of 96 points in their first two games. Johnson said this trend should continue through the season.
"If y'all thought this was good, you just wait," he said.
The undefeated Lions will play the West Texas Buffaloes in Canyon to see which team will come out still undefeated after the Sept. 21 game.
Carthel said his team will prepare to face his old one the same way as any other game.
"We're not going to prepare any different," he said. "We'll enjoy this victory for 24 hours, then saddle back up."

Dallas Stars forward Mike Ribeiro, his wife and two friends were arrested for public intoxication at a Plano restaurant.
Dallas Stars center Mike Ribeiro was arrested late Sunday on a charge of public intoxication at a Plano restaurant.
The 30-year-old hockey player was released from the Plano jail at about 4:45 a.m. Monday.
Ribeiro, his wife, Tammy Williams, and two friends, Darcy Lewis and Wayne Lewis, were taken into custody at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday at Ra Sushi Bar just off Spring Creek Parkway near the Dallas North Tollway.
All four face charges of public intoxication. One of the four arrested, Wayne Lewis, also faces an assault charge.
Stars general manager Joe Nieuwendyk said the team will handle the matter internally.
The Stars recently began the 2010 season, and Ribeiro scored the winning goal in a shootout Saturday to beat the New York Islanders 5-4. The win gives the Stars their first 2-0 start since 2006.
Dallas plays its home opener Thursday night against Mike Modano and the Detroit Red Wings.

Roughly 50 years to the day, 14 women in their 20s gathered in La Grange with a similar goal in mind, one focused on improving their community by tackling smaller, but necessary, projects.
Little did they know that decades later, that first official meeting of Project Guild would lead to numerous fundraising events, a day-long festival or even a parade where they will be honored as grand marshals this year.

OAKLAND — This is a story about Oakland.
It has nothing to do with crime, or the rivalry with its flashier sister city across the bay. It's not even about medical marijuana.
OAKLAND — This is a story about Oakland.
It has nothing to do with crime, or the rivalry with its flashier sister city across the bay. It's not even about medical marijuana.
This is about gnomes. Gnomes and community.
More than a year ago, a mysterious man wanted to do something nice for his neighbors near Lake Merritt. So he got some small wooden blocks, about 6 inches tall, and painted the fanciful creatures on them. Then he screwed them to wooden utility poles, at sidewalk level.
Some people took notice — the ones who looked down or were close to the ground (i.e., children).
Wonder ensued.
Oaklander David Colburn blogged about the beings, saying they "offer yet another occasion for pointing out how much we miss if all our transit time is spent inside a car."
Emily Colter, of fairyroom.com, observed that gnomes close to the lake wore pants, while those up the hill donned kilts. "The gnomes of Oakland's higher elevations are plainly Highlanders," she wrote last summer.
About 2,300 gnomes with pointy hats and white beards now live in Oakland. One resembles Santa Claus in a monk's robe. Others wave or appear to be doing a little disco dance.
Yet until late last month, they had pretty much managed to keep their presence on the down low. Even Pacific Gas & Electric, whose poles are gnome homes, was unaware of their existence.
Then San Francisco Chronicle reporter Carolyn Jones blew their cover. PG&E spokesman Jason King said he had never noticed them, although he jogs around the lake. Sticking to the company playbook, he told her a crew would be dispatched to remove them.
His exact words: "We can't have anything that would compromise the integrity of our equipment. The concern is that the gnomes could inspire additional people to place things on our property."
A "Save the Lake Merritt Gnomes" Facebook page popped up. Calls poured in. The Twittersphere exploded. Negotiations ensued.
"We saw an opportunity," King said, a gag gift of a foot-tall garden gnome on his desk. "Oakland is such a cool, quirky city.... We were trying to find a way to keep them part of the neighborhood."
A summit with the gnomes' creator took place Tuesday in "a secret mushroom patch in the rose garden near City Hall," said Zac Wald, chief of staff to Councilwoman Lynette Gibson McElhaney.
(The artist, whom King described as a "dear man," has insisted on anonymity, saying he was just trying to do something to make residents happy and didn't want the focus to shift to him.)
Wald said the city wants to "keep the gnomes in their existing homes." King said PG&E is open to that, but also hopes residents can come up with gentle ways to relocate them. They could be moved to fence posts, for example, or affixed to benches. Suggestions can be submitted via Facebook or Twitter: #savethegnomes.
For now, "we've declared the poles 'gnome man's land,'" King said.
In a community known for its grass-roots art scene, the phenomenon and the man behind it have been widely embraced.
The artist is cranking out 100 gnomes a week "out of nothing more than love for the positive impact he's having on the community," Wald said. "And I think there are a lot of people working every day for nothing but the love of Oakland and Oaklanders. They are all to be commended.""
Staffers at Fairyland, a storybook theme park that opened in 1950 on the shores of Lake Merritt, are gleeful. The park's credos: no straight lines, and a surprise around every corner.
The gnomes embody the latter.
Shannon Taylor, Fairyland's director of arts and restoration, had designed tiny wooden doors to place around the park even before she came across the gnomes. Now their creator has been invited to place some of the little guys inside the gates.
"We'll have our little doors, and our little gnomes," said Fairyland's executive director, C.J. Hirschfield.
Despite all the recent publicity, some residents in solid gnome territory are surprisingly oblivious to them. One young man in a baseball cap lowered his sunglasses and stared in confusion when his attention was directed downward.
Others hold them dear. Fernando Sanchez, a DJ who wheels an amp around town playing music for strangers, noticed the gnomes as soon as they appeared and has tracked their outfits of varying colors and styles.
"I really love them," he said. "Someone took the time to touch people. Oakland is that way. … Underground .… Equalizing."

September stands for school in most parts of this country. Books, backpacks, pencils, computers, etc. As teachers, administrators, students, and parents get ready, I have two words for you - Mutual Respect. If you give it to each other, no matter how old or young, what position you hold in the educational process, no matter what your relationship is: parent/child; teacher/administrator; parent/teacher; teacher/teacher; child/teacher; child/child; administrator/administrator; etc., you get the point - you can start from a position where things can only get better, if you keep these two words in mind. As a retired NYC teacher, current substitute in two local districts, and teaching artist, I always end my classroom day with the phrase, "Be kind to one another." I surely don't know it all and I don't profess to have all the answers, but I do know, speaking for myself, that in the classroom (or out), these starting and ending points, if I consider and recall them during my day, allow me to remember that we have one thing in common, and that is our humanity.
We don't see much of this concept of humanity anymore in the media, where commercials, situation comedies, comedic movie themes based on vile and crass premises, and reality shows, equate insults, mockery, and trickery with laugh tracks and what the characters see (and tell us) is funny.
And influenced by all this - what was something we used to cringe about has now become something to laugh at - you may (or may not) have your momentary doubts about this thing called humanity this when you hear how another (or yourself!) speaks, acts, and reacts, at times, but that in itself is a teaching moment. With all the pressure of state mandates, self-imposed standards, life outside of the classroom, the role of teacher beyond teaching that includes, at times, secretary, negotiator, psychologist, police, protector; with pressure kids face from spheres, near and far, beyond their control; with the business of education and realities of what we have and don't have to work with; with parents worrying about bills and beyond, keeping this in mind is a challenge, but one, I believe, we must all rise to, not just tomorrow when many school doors open to a new year, but everyday.
Are we perfect? No. Can we do better, Yes? Are their injustices in the world and shall we rise up against them? Absolutely. Respect without the mutual part, often has to do with fear and the influence (and sometimes the corruption, as we have seen in the recent news) of power. This mutual respect is road to kindness is a challenge for all of us, yet certainly, a necessity, I feel, for survival. Be kind to one another.

Definition of SUTTEE
Variants of SUTTEE
Origin of SUTTEE
Rhymes with SUTTEE
sutteenoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Indian practice whereby a widow burns herself to death either on the funeral pyre of her husband or soon after his death. The custom may be rooted in ancient beliefs that a husband needed his companions in the afterlife, though opponents point to it as an indication of a value system deeply hostile to women. Developed by the 4th century BC, it became widespread in the 17th–18th centuries but was banned in British India in 1829. Frequent instances of suttee continued to occur for many years thereafter, and occasional instances in remote areas are still reported today.

Billy Ray Hall needed a boss. Steve Beam needs one.
Hall was president of the nonprofit N.C. Rural Economic Development Center, which for 25 years was largely funded with taxpayer money. The Rural Center was created by legislative Democrats in 1987 when Republican Jim Martin was governor. To get around Martin, legislators placed the center outside government and had the Rural Centers president report to a board.
The board had 50 members. Some were appointed by legislators and the governor. Most were appointed by the board. Hall was a board member and recruited new members.
Hall and his board had a cozy relationship. The Rural Center funded many worthwhile projects. But the boards oversight was less than vigorous. Hall resigned last summer, and the Rural Center lost state funding after a News & Observer series and a critical state audit questioned how the center spent state money. State auditors flagged Halls salary of $221,000 as unreasonable.
Raleigh businessman Bob Luddy, a board member, described a board meeting: They spend an hour and 15 minutes praising each other for the amazing work theyre doing. And they spend 10 minutes to just ram these grant resolutions through, maybe five minutes.
Oversight lacking
Steve Beam, executive director of the Raleigh Housing Authority, reports to a citizen board appointed by Raleighs mayor. Beam has been director since 1997. His total compensation has reached as high as $280,000 higher than Raleighs city manager, who oversees a far larger operation. Beam also receives 30 vacation days a year.
The N&O reported that Beam took at least 20 comp days for four recent years an unusual practice for an executive with his level of salary and responsibility. After reading the report in The N&O, U.S. Rep. George Holding, a Raleigh Republican, asked the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to investigate. The thing that rang the bell the most with me was how much time he was away from the office and how much time off he had, Holding told me this week.
Holding noted that Beam had moved to rename several Raleigh streets after magicians (Beam is a magician) without consulting his board raising questions about how much oversight Beam received. The board said last week that Beam would no longer receive comp time and that it would revisit the street names.
Capable administrator
By all accounts, Beam is a capable and effective administrator. His board wants to keep him and says that since he has been executive director, the number of families housed by the agency has increased 57 percent (from 3,700 to 5,800).
That hasnt kept up with the citys growth. During that period, Raleighs population has grown 66 percent (from 255,000 to 425,000) and its population of poor people by more than that (Raleighs poverty rate has increased from 11.5 percent to 16 percent). As federal housing funding shrinks, the challenges are great. Beams absences hes been out of the office nearly three months of the year show his board hasnt set his goals high enough.
Kyle Dilday, board chairman, pointed out that board members are volunteers with limited time. A better structure, bringing more accountability, would be for Beam to report to Raleighs city manager (which the law allows). If that had been the case, you can bet Beam wouldnt make more than the city manager and that Beam wouldnt have taken 86 comp days in four years. Everybody needs a boss.

Lotus of Siam too busy? Check out Weera Thai!
I was in Las Vegas for CES, and despaired of getting a table at LOS. Planned to get takeout and bring back to my hotel room until I read some reviews of Weera Thai, a mile west of LOS on the other side of the 15 freeway on Sahara. Excellent stuff!
This is a small mom and pop restaurant in a strip mall. I was by myself and only tried two dishes, the Issan style Green Papaya Salad and the Ped Nom Tak, a dish with bits of duck breast in a complex savory gravy. Both were well up there in the LOS quality quadrant. This place is serious and you should check it out.
Weera is a big favorite of John Curtas's. I remember him mentioning it many times, but here's one: http://www.eatinglv.com/2011/03/thai-...
re: Dave Feldman
re: westie
Had a really good dinner last month. Was not crowded compared to LOS. Wanted to try the Issan specials. Had the following:
Sua Rong Hai (BBQ Beef)……….Marinated charbroiled beef served with Weera's spicy tamarind sauce.
Green Curry chicken……….Traditional Thai green curry with coconut milk, eggplant & basil, with choice of meat.
Ped Nom Tok ……….Sliced boneless roasted duck with chili paste, herbs, spices & lime juice.
Shrimp Glass Noodle Pot.........Shrimp, black pepper & ginger baked with glass noodle in hot pot.
If you have a craving for Thai food and cannot get a table at LOS, Weera is an excellent alternative.
re: baron45
We have dined a Weera Thai on each of our past 2 trips. On our first visit we started off with Thai egg rolls which were grease free and packed with fresh tasting ingredients. For entrees we shared orders of nom tuk moo - sliced pork with rice powder, spices, lime juice and chili plus the shrimp glass noodle pot – shrimp, black pepper and ginger baked with glass noodles. The shrimp glass noodle pot was outstanding. We concluded the meal with a cup of coconut ice cream. Our waitress was a delight.
Two weeks ago were returned and shared a tasty green papaya salad with green beans, tomato, and peanuts seasoned with lime juice and Thai chili. We were happy we ordered mild because this salad has a kick. For entrees, we again ordered the shrimp glass noodle pot plus spicy eggplant with shrimp. We again concluded the meal with a cup of coconut ice cream. There is much more on the menu for us to try so we surely be returning on our next trip.

An Inessential History of Food, Part II
by Gay Lyons
I've been having fun once again at one of my favorite websites, www.foodtimeline.org . Bring on Trivial Pursuit "The Culinary Edition."
Marshmallows were around before anyone thought of roasting them or using them on sweet potato casseroles. By 2000 BC, Egyptians mixed the root of the marsh mallow plant with honey to create confections. Later, marshmallows were made using the sap of the marsh mallow plant mixed with gum, egg white and sugar—pretty much the same as today, except they no longer contain marsh mallow sap.
Worcestershire sauce, invented in Worcester, England, by chemists John Lea and William Perrins, came from the chemists' attempts to duplicate an Indian recipe brought to them by Lord Sandys, the former governor of Bengal. Interestingly, the sauce was only pronounced "good" after it was later stored in a cellar and inadvertently pickled. The A-1 Steak Sauce name came from the pronouncement that the sauce was "A-1" by King George IV when it was served to him by his royal chef, Henderson William Brand, who left the palace in 1831 to open Brand and Company, purveyor of sauces.
The red devil on cans of Underwood Deviled Ham, the oldest trademark still in use in the United States, did not appear until around 1870, but for decades prior to that, Underwood canned goods were packed in many westward-bound covered wagons. My only experiences with deviled ham were on fishing trips with my father whose picnics always consisted of saltines, deviled ham and Vienna sausages, items notable mostly for their portability under any conditions.
Fig Newtons are named after their town of birth, Newton, Mass., not after Isaac Newton. Hershey bars were conceived in Hershey, Pa., a town named after company founder Milton S. Hershey who built the company and the town, which was previously named Derry Township. Attractions include the Hershey Hotel and the Hershey Spa, which offers chocolate hydrotherapy, a chocolate sugar scrub and a chocolate fondue wrap. There's also Hershey Theme Park where the roller coaster seats are a rich chocolate brown.
This Southern biscuit-eating girl learned that biscuits were also cookies from Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and Nabisco, creator of Oreos and Mallomars. Oreos were first sold as one-third of a cookie set called Trio. The other two, the Mother Goose Biscuit and the Veronese Biscuit, have long since disappeared. Oreos are popular, but the cookie with the biggest cult following may be Mallomars. Because these are sold seasonally (September through April), Mallomar lovers stockpile the cookies in their freezers for warm weather consumption.
Forrest Mars was inspired to create M&M's during the Spanish Civil War when he encountered soldiers eating pellets of chocolate encased in a hard sugary coating that prevented melting. First sold in cardboard tubes, the candy was later popular with American soldiers during World War II. Originally, all M&M's were brown. Red, yellow and green were added in 1960. Red M&M's were removed in 1976 during concerns about red dye No. 2, although that particular dye was not used in M&M's. Red M&M's returned in 1987 amid much hoopla. Another big color event occurred in 1995 when 54 percent of 10 million voters selected blue as the first new M&M color in many years.
Kool-Aid was the invention of Edwin Perkins who saw potential in a product named "Fruit Smack," which was shipped in concentrate in glass bottles, a much less expensive drink than bottled cola beverages which became popular at around the same time. Perkins' idea was to dehydrate Fruit Smack so that it could be shipped more economically. Hastings, Neb., became the birthplace of Perkins' mixture of dextrose, citric acid and tartaric acid in five flavors: raspberry, cherry, grape, lemon, orange and root beer. During the Depression, Kool-Aid's price—5 cents a package—made it an affordable treat.
Like me, you may have thought that Tang, another popular powdered drink mix, was developed by NASA for the astronauts, but you'd be wrong. General Foods introduced Tang as a "modern breakfast beverage" in 1957. However, sales didn't really take off until 1965 after it was used by the Gemini astronauts. After that, General Foods marketed Tang as the "drink of the astronauts."
It only takes a few thousand years to get from Egyptians picking marsh mallows to extract the essence of the root for confections fit only for royalty and gods to get to the color controversies surrounding the candy that "melts in your mouth not in your hand." I'm especially intrigued by what I read about Mallomars. I don't think I've ever had one. My son-of-New-Yorkers husband doesn't think he has either. A couple of quick phone calls confirmed that Mallomars may not be locally available. More research—and possibly a field trip—will obviously be required.

NORMAN — There's still no official word on the status of Norman North quarterback and Alabama commit David Cornwell, but in the meantime the Timberwolves are looking toward a future with junior John Kolar under center.
The Cornwells haven't disclosed the exact nature of the injury to one of the country's top quarterback prospects, but it appeared that the senior hurt his right knee after having his punt blocked two weeks ago against Yukon. He spent the rest of the night on crutches, didn't practice and wasn't in the stadium for North's 54-0 win over US Grant on Thursday.
Attempts to reach Cornwell have been unsuccessful, and privacy laws prevent coaches from disclosing the injury without permission. Kolar, who keyed North's comeback victory over Yukon after entering the game in the second half and led the T-Wolves to the rout last week, told the Transcript he's preparing for North's contest Friday at Edmond North as if he were starting.
The game pits two teams undefeated in District 6A-3 against each other. With a win, North will have completed the three toughest games on its district schedule without a loss, setting the Timberwolves up to repeat as district champs.
Manning still out: Norman High's coaches hoped to have running back Darius Manning back for Friday's game against Choctaw, but those hopes were dashed before kickoff.
Manning, who has been out several weeks, has tag-teamed with Dupree Young in the Tigers' backfield this season to lead the triple-option attack. Without him, the Tigers have struggled, losing three straight before picking up a win against Choctaw.
Coach Greg Nation said Manning is day-to-day, and could be ready to play against Southmoore on Friday.
Around the state: Week 7 is filled with a number of Class 6A clashes that could alter the playoff race and shake up the top 10.

Presidential Decree No. 851
Requiring All Employers to Pay their Employees a 13th-Month Pay
WHEREAS, it is necessary to further protect the level of real wages from the ravage of worldwide inflation;
WHEREAS, there has been no increase in the legal minimum wage rates since 1970;
WHEREAS, the Christmas season is an opportune time for society to show its concern for the plight of the working masses so they may properly celebrate Christmas and New Year.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby decree as follows:
Section 1. All employers are hereby required to pay all their employees receiving a basic salary of not more than P1,000 a month, regardless of the nature of their employment, a 13th-month pay not later than December 24 of every year.
