- Dissolve the cherry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. When dissolved, stir in 1/2 cup of cold water and pour into an eight or nine inch square pan. Refrigerate until firm. Repeat this process with the lime and orange flavors.
- In a small sauce pan, mix together the lemon gelatin with the pineapple syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly. When the gelatin is dissolved, set aside and allow to cool to room temperature until thick.
- Once the cherry, lime, and orange gelatin is firm, cut into 1 to 2 inch cubes. Beat the whip cream into stiff peaks, and fold it into the lemon pineapple mixture. Fold the gelatin cubes into the whipped cream mixture.
- Pour the gelatin and whipped cream mixture into a buttered and graham cracker crumb dusted 9 inch tube pan. Chill for several hours before unmolding.

I wasn't sure what I was suppose to do with the butter and graham cracker crumbs. Do I use them as I would use grease and flour for a cake pan or use it like melted butter and graham crumbs in a crust like cheesecake. I ended up just not using that part and mixed up jello and pineapple juice mixture in a bowl and it was a hit at my sons first birthday party.
I've never made a geletin salad in my life. :) I've made jello, but never been creative about it. Considering this was the first one I've ever tried, (pressured into it for Thanksgiving) I consider this recipe to be tops. It looks difficult, but even my 6 year old had fun with it. Thanks!
My family enjoyed eating this. I was a little disappointed in how it looked. i read that it was beautiful, but mine didn't turn out that way. After they tasted it, everyone loved it and wanted more.

'Dead parrot' installed in London
Thursday, 24th July 2014 at 4:40pm
The 50 foot fibreglass sculpture was a tribute to Monty Python's famous 'dead parrot' sketch and was placed near Tower Bridge in the run-up to the last show.
The sculpture took more than two months to complete; lead sculptor Iain Prendergast said: "The key challenge for us was capturing the comedy value of the dead parrot, keeping the realism of the bird whilst also adding touches like the bloodshot, stunned eyes."
The parrot was delivered to the O2 Arena for the final performance of Monty Python's 'Live (mostly)' farewell show on Sunday.

By Bruce Campbell, Staff Writer
Enid News and Eagle
ENID, Okla. —
Revenge is supposed to be the biggest motivational force in sports.
How many times do you hear a coach moan how difficult it is to beat a good team twice in one season?
No doubt it will be a factor when Pond Creek-Hunter faces Laverne for the Class B state championship at 7:30 tonight at Milam Stadium on the Southwestern State campus.
The Panthers have been waiting for another shot at the Tigers since falling to Laverne 36-18 in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 battle at Pond Creek on Nov. 2.
But be careful if betting against the team that won the first meeting in rematches that decide state championships.
Recent history concerning area teams shows it's wise to go with the team which won the first time.
Of course, there are exceptions to the rule.
Take Hennessey a year ago.
The Eagles lost to Jones, 23-18 the second week of the season.
Twelve weeks later, Hennessey cut down the turnovers and played better defense in beating the Longhorns, 21-7.
That was a non-district game, which basically was an exhibition. Hennessey coach Shannon Watford said he scheduled tough non-district games to prepare his Eagles not only for a tough District 2A-1, but the playoffs.
Here's how area teams have done in championship rematches.
• 2010 — 3A — Regular season — Heritage Hall 42, Kingfisher 14. Championship — Heritage Hall 28, Kingfisher 21.
• 2009 — B — Regular season — Garber 38, Canton 6. Championship — Garber 50, Canton 2. C — Regular season — Timberlake 56, Seiling 6. Championship — Timberlake 38, Seiling 16.
• 2008 — B — Regular season — Garber 30, Laverne 6. Championship — Garber 30, Laverne 26.
• 2007 — 3A — Regular season — Clinton 37, Kingfisher 34, 4 OTs. Championship — Clinton 21, Kingfisher 16 (the Red Devils scored the winning touchdown in the final seconds).
• 2005 — B — Regular season — Pioneer 14, Morrison 12. Championship — Morrison 20, Pioneer 0.
• 2001 — B — Regular season — OCS 33, Pioneer 16. Championship — Pioneer 48, OCS 25.
• 2000 — B — Regular season — Pioneer 52, Morrison 22. Championship — Pioneer 63, Morrison 14. C — Regular season — Kremlin-Hillsdale 16, Medford 13. Championship — Kremlin-Hillsdale 24, Medford 13.
• 1997 — B — Regular season — OCS 55, Pioneer 22. Championship — Pioneer 36, OCS 22.
In those 12 meetings, the regular season winner won eight times and the loser got revenge four times.
In 2001, Pioneer came into the regular season meeting with OCS without some key players.
In 2005, Pioneer beat Morrison the second week of the season.
Forget the revenge factor.
Today is a day to savor for area football fans.
For the fifth time since 2001, two teams from District B-1 are playing for the state championship.
It's the third time in the last five years. Just wish the game was in Enid today instead of Weatherford.
One can understand the OSSAA wanting the two championships to be at the same place. Weatherford was the best neutral site for the Class C state championship between Forgan and Tipton and it's probably more fair for Laverne not to have to play the Panthers in Pond Creek-Hunter's backyard.
Get to the game, if you can. If you can't, listen on KXLS. Enjoy the moment area 8-man fans, today is northwest Oklahoma's day.

After a nearly three-year investigation, Lansdale Police and Towamencin Township Police have arrested and charged two sisters for allegedly dealing Oxycodone and Percocet from their Berwick Place home in Chatham Village in Towamencin.
Darrina Slocum, 34, and Ebony Slocum, 32, of the 100 block of Berwick Place, face numerous felony drug dealing charges stemming from a November 2012 incident, police said.
Darrina Slocum is free on $10,000 unsecured bail, set by District Judge Harold Borek, according to court records.
Darrina has a preliminary hearing March 14 at 1:15 p.m. in Lansdale.
Ebony Slocum remains incarcerated at Montgomery County Correctional Facility in lieu of $75,000 cash bail, according to court records. She has a preliminary hearing set for Feb. 26 at 11 a.m. in Lansdale district court.
Darrina Slocum is charged with the following:
- Felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver
- Felony conspiracy to possess a controlled susbtance with intent
- Misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance
- Misdemeanor purchase/receipt of a controlled substance
Ebony Slocum is charged with the following:
- Four felony counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver
- Two felony counts of criminal use of a communication device
- Felony conspiracy to possess a controlled substance with intent
- Four misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance
- Four misdemeanor counts of purchase/receipt of a controlled substance
Darrina Slocum was arrested at her home on Jan. 19, following execution of a search warrant by Lansdale and Towamencin Police officers and detectives, police said.
Ebony Slocum, who was believed to be somewhere in Philadelphia, reportedly turned herself in to Lansdale Police on Jan. 29.
The investigation began in late 2010 when Lansdale Police received reports that Ebony Slocum was allegedly selling Percocet, police said.
Officers reportedly made controlled purchases from Ebony Slocum at her former apartment on West Main Street in Lansdale between February and March 2011.
Ebony Slocum, police said, moved to Norristown a day before Lansdale Police were going to execute a search warrant on her West Main Street apartment in March 2011.
In September 2011, Lansdale Police received new information that Ebony Slocum was allegedly selling Oxycodone from her Norristown home, police said.
During that investigation, Ebony Slocum moved a second time to an unknown location in the Lansdale area, police said.
Lansdale Police Street Crimes Unit received information in November 2012 that Ebony and Darrina Slocum were allegedly selling painkillers in the Lansdale area, and resided on Berwick Place, police said.
Between November 2012 and January 2013, controlled purchases of Oxycodone were made from both sisters, police said, at various locaitons throughout the North Penn area, including Lansdale.
On a Jan. 19 search warrant execution, police seized Oxycodone pills allegedly prescribed to Darrina Slocum, police said. The prescription bottle indicated that 80 pills were filled on Jan. 14.
Of those 80 pills, 59 were missing on the day of the search, police said.

The Democratic Problem Starts with Obama
by InigoMontoya, Fri Oct 22, 2010 at 01:32:28 PM EDT
The problems the Democrats are facing this year go all the way to the top: Obama. The contrast between an extremely well-run campaign and extremely inept governing are staggering.
The Health Care Reform process is the perfect example. Obama's team made hundreds of concessions in negotiations with Republicans and got zero votes for it. A rule of American politics is this: you don't make concessions unless you extract the votes in return. A corollary is thus: the minority party understands that it will not get everything it wants nor even half of what it wants but it will get some of what it wants...the Republicans, the Party of NO!, were not willing to accede to this. And why should they? Democrats kept compromising and compromising without any ironclad demands in return. Were I faced with that response, I would have kept pushing too. One disgusted truly independent friend of mine isn't planning to vote this year: "What's worse, evil Republicans or spineless Democrats?" he asks.
Obama's seeming aloofness and disengagement has not worked to his advantage. The Presidency is a bully pulpit and Obama has largely abdicated that advantage. George Bush was a horrible president...I rate only Buchanan, Harrison, and Garfield below him (the latter two getting grades of Incomplete)...but he knew how to speak to the country in direct terms and make an emotional connection whether you liked him or loathed him. Bill Clinton could do the same. Obama? Pfft. The detached, cerebral delegator is not what Americans are looking for an more importantly it's not an effective mode.
The lack of acumen about legislative process has been appalling. One of the flashing yellow lights that worried me about an Obama presidency was Obama's seeming disinterest in the legislative process while in the Senate, compiling a very thin legislative record and a low profile. His appointment of Rahm Emmanuel as Chief of Staff reassured me but Emmanuel has been a disaster at orchestrating and driving the various elements on the Hill...I guess you need more than a capacity to drop F-bombs.
Finally, a tone-deaf tunnel vision has been misplaced. I disagree with critics who say that Obama shouldn't have made the mega-battle for Health Care Reform his first priority. A battle like that is for first year, first term...as President, you'll never have more political capital. But the almost cavalier lack of attention to the economy, particularly employment, is criminal. See Bill Clinton: "It's the economy, stupid."
The economic downturn may have been set up and begun on Bush's watch. The structural problems such as the anemic job growth from 2000 to 2008 may lie at Bush's feet. The class warfare, whose results include a staggering concentration of wealth juxtaposed against flat or declining income for the middle class is a result of Republican-backed policies. But when unemployment starts going up, most American's don't care about when/why/who...they look at it as a current problem and they want it addressed NOW. Obama was slow off the mark to deal with this, seemingly content to push sunshine when too many people were starting to feel pain.
I voted for Obama in 2008 and will vote for Obama in 2012 because as inept as he has shown himself to be, an inept and spineless Democratic administration is worse than an actively evil reprise of two Bush administrations or a foray into Tea Party land.
But after the drubbing the Democrats receive in two weeks, Obama, his staff, and the Democratic leadership need to spend some time looking in the mirror when they start trying to identify what went wrong.

Carriage Towne News
---- — HAVERHILL, MA —The 25th annual Cycle for Shelter will be held Sun., July 28, to raise funds to provide what homeless children and adults need to rebuild their lives - emergency shelter, housing search assistance, affordable housing, adult education and job training and support services. This year more than 3,000 homeless adults and children will seek help from Emmaus as they face homelessness, a crisis that most of us can only imagine in our worst nightmares.
Riding in the Cycle for Shelter is a way to channel physical, mental and emotional energy into something much greater than the accomplishment that is gained by riding 21, 50, 62 or 100 miles. Cycle for Shelter cyclists use their strength, time and energy to help those in need. With each mile, the Cycle for Shelter brings homeless individuals and families closer to fulfilling their dream of finding permanent housing.
Over the past twenty five years, Cycle for Shelter has raised nearly $950,000 for Emmaus.
About Emmaus Inc.:
Emmaus Inc. of Haverhill MA, is a non-profit organization founded in 1985 to provide housing and services to homeless families and adults. Over the past 25 years, the agency has grown to become a significant service provider and developer of affordable housing, offering one of the most innovative and comprehensive approaches to homelessness in the country. Ninety-one cents of every dollar raised by Emmaus goes directly to life-saving programs for the homeless.
Since its incorporation, Emmaus Inc. has assisted over 17,000 men, women, and children out of homelessness and into permanent housing, jobs, and independent living. Agency services include outreach, emergency shelter, meals, counseling, case management, clinical services, substance abuse treatment, referrals, housing search, employment training, life skills, job search, and job placement. Emmaus Inc. has assembled an extensive "continuum of care" that offers solutions to poverty and homelessness, as well as a mission of charity and compassion. For more information on the Cycle for Shelter or Emmaus, please contact Terri Rousseau at 978-241-3425 or visit www.emmausinc.org.

Usage notesEdit
In the sense of "a road", often used interchangeably with road, avenue, and other similar terms. In narrow usage, street specifically means a paved route within a settlement (generally city or town), reflecting the etymology, while a road is a route between two settlements. Further, in many American cities laid out on a grid, notably Manhattan, streets are contrasted with avenues and run perpendicular to each other, with avenues frequently wider and longer than streets.
In the sense of "a road", the prepositions in and on have distinct meanings when used with street, with "on the street" having idiomatic meaning in some dialects. In general for thoroughfares, "in" means "within the bounds of", while "on" means "on the surface of, especially traveling or lying", used relatively interchangeably ("don't step in the road without looking", "I met her when walking on the road").
By contrast, "living on the street" means to be living an insecure life, often homeless or a criminal. Further, to "hear something on the street" means to learn through rumor, also phrased as "word on the street is ...".

Over the past couple of months, a number of smart, informed people who spend a lot of time analyzing young baseball players have been publishing their lists of top Twins prospects. Since Im not nearly as smart or informed about these players as others are, Ive held off on publishing my own rankings.

My favorite kind of paper art is cut paper. Relatively young kids can cut snowflakes, kirigami figures, papel picado and all kinds of holiday crafts. I, as an adult, love elaborate red Chinese paper cutouts and Jewish cutouts for the Sabbath – but those are FAR too complex for kids – or me – to attempt! Let's just stick with simple paper cuts for the moment.
Nancy Poydar's Snip Snip…Snow! is a good place to start if you want to learn. It's the story of a little girl who can't wait for it to start snowing – and at the back of the book, it contains instructions for cutting snowflakes out of regular paper.
Colored tissue paper can be used for papel picado, the paper used in Mexico to make banderitas ("little flags") for the Day of the Dead, Cinco de Mayo, Independence Day (Sept. 16), and village fiestas. Carmen Lomas Garza is a well-know local artist who has made many examples of papel picado that have been displayed in museums such as the Mexican Museum at Fort Mason in San Francisco.
One of my favorite illustrations is the cover of her book, Making Magic Windows. The book shows how to make papel picado, and the illustration on the cover shows her teaching her niece and nephews how to make them – and every design displayed on the cover can be made by following the directions in the book.
The individual designs – Flowers, Twinkling Stars, Four Cardinal Points, Tiles, Hummingbirds, and so on – are easy to do, and she shows how to fold the paper and how to cut it. She also gives directions for a large sun face, either out of tissue paper or other colored paper.
In another of her books, a bilingual one entitled Magic Windows, she shows a wall-sized ofrenda (something to be placed on a family altar for the Day of the Dead); it is a 5-foot by 8-foot picture of her grandfather Antonio watering his garden. She has also made paper cut-outs of horned toads, fish and deer, and an eagle with a rattlesnake, the national emblem of Mexico.
Origami (=folded paper) can be very enjoyable or exceptionally frustrating for kids, but kirigami (cut paper) tends to be much easier. Joyce Hwang's Kirigami series begins with simple paper folding and cutting, and advances to "Sweetheart" symbols, "Lucky" symbols and "Classic Designs:"
Hwang uses origami paper – solid color on one side and white on the other. Or there's paper with colored patterns on one side and white on the other (the patterned paper is better for simpler designs). Like Lomas Garza, Hwang shows how it should be folded and cut. The folding may be a little more complicated that that of Making Magic Windows, but it's still do-able with scissors and just a few folds.
Cindy Higham's Snowflakes For All Seasons contains 72 designs for snowflakes, and they are all lovely (I wonder if the fact that they're all blue and the pages are white has anything to do with it? blue is my favorite color!). The snowflakes are not just for winter – there are Frankenstein snowflakes and owls and cat snowflakes for Halloween, Pilgrim and turkey snowflakes for Thanksgiving, and of course hearts for Valentine's Day. Here is a paper Valentine heart for someone you love.
The folding is easy. The hardest part of this one, I think, is drawing something asymmetrical, cutting it out carefully, and having faith that it will end up looking like the beautiful pattern that Cindy Higham shows!
All I can tell you is that paper cutting is tremendously fun, and you really CAN start with the easy designs that elementary-age children can learn to do with a scissors. And if doesn't turn out the way you imagined it would, look at it to see if you like it the way it did turn out – or just start another one!

District named grant finalist
Date: November 27, 2012
by: Pam Eubanks | Managing Editor
The Manatee County School District is a top contender for a grant that could land the district $28.7 million.
The U.S. Department of Education has announced that Manatee is one of 61 finalists out of thousands of grant applications vying for 20 to 25 grants totaling up to $400 million.
"We have a ways to go, but this is a great way to start the week," said Doug Wagner, the district's director of adult, career and technical education.
Manatee's application includes funding for technology labs at elementary schools, as well as an addition to Manatee Technical Institute, called the Technology Zone, among other provisions.
Grant winners were expected to be named by Dec. 20, but the DOE expects a delay in the announcement in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

Stan Otness
Stan Otness, 86, died on January 13, 2012.
Stan was born on June 30, 1925, in Petersburg, Alaska to John and Ragna Otness. He was the fourth of five adventurous boys growing up fishing commercially in Alaska. He was brought up in a musical family with his father playing violin, his mother the piano for the local silent movie theater and his oldest brother the accordion. While attending Ballard High School he traveled back and forth to Petersburg, fishing halibut on his father's boat.
In 1944 he set out for Manila on a F52 ship. Defying all odds, he survived yellow fever, malaria and then later in New Guinea he narrowly escaped being dinner for native tribesmen. Later he and a friend were able to transfer ships and luckily escaped the sinking of that ship in the course of the invasion of Europe.
He and a friend modified a double ender sailboat for gillnetting and ran it up to Petersburg. Stan was drafted during the Korean conflict and served as an MP at Fort Belvoir, Va. and Washington, D.C. While stationed there he drove his Hudson several times across the States, sleeping in the wide back seat and seeing the country.
Stan married Laverne Skorstad in 1955, living for a short time in Coos Bay before moving to Everett Wash. He worked for Standard Oil at Point Wells for 30 years spending most of those years on barges traveling Puget Sound. He enjoyed hiking, swimming, gardening and raising chickens and ducks in his backyard. He built a kayak and later a gillnetting boat on his patio. After retiring he and Laverne traveled across the country by motorhome. Harrison Hot Springs was a favorite destination and they returned there for their 50th wedding anniversary.
In later years he continued to hunt and fish when he could and remained active mowing his grass with his push mower and growing grapes. He was devoted and committed to his wife for 55 years.
He is survived by his brother Norm, wife LaVerne, two daughters, two grandchildren and many grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to the charity of your choice in Stan's name would be appreciated. A donation to the Petersburg Fisherman's Memorial or the Seattle Fisherman's Memorial would be very thoughtful.
A celebration of Stan's life will be held at Legions Hall in Everett, Wash. April 29. For details: firstname.lastname@example.com.

While it's likely the summer of 2012 will be best remembered in the publishing world for the utter domination of 50 Shades of Grey, the erotic trilogy hasn't been the only best-selling surprise this year. That distinction also belongs to Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl, which has now climbed to the top of The New York Times Hardcover Fiction Best Sellers list.
Gone Girl (Crown) is a riveting novel, a Midwestern noir with completely unreliable narrators. Nick Dunne leaves his house on the morning of his fifth wedding anniversary. When he returns a few hours later, he finds signs of a struggle and his wife Amy gone. As the plot twists and turns, switching between Amy's diary entries and Nick's narrative, the novel explores what it means to be married, both on a personal and societal level, as both characters struggle with the changes in each other's personalities, and as familiarity breeds contempt. Nick thinks to himself:
"Over just a few years, the old Amy, the girl of the big laugh and the easy ways, literally shed herself, a pile of skin and soul on the floor, and out stepped the new, brittle, bitter Amy. My wife was no longer my wife but a razor-wire loop daring me to unloop her, and I was not up to the job with my thick, numb, nervous fingers. Country fingers. Flyover fingers untrained in the intricate, dangerous work of solving Amy."
Gone Girl is almost too clever for its own good in the end, but the questions it raises will stick with you. However, Flynn isn't the only woman redefining crime literature this summer. Last month saw the publication of Irish novelist Tana French's fourth book, Broken Harbor (Viking). The tale focuses on Detective Mick "Scorcher" Kennedy (a minor character in French's last novel, Faithful Place) as he sets out to investigate a brutal triple murder in an abandoned subdivision.
Broken Harbor is both a straightforward crime procedural and a meditation on madness. What causes someone to lose his or her mind? Can a traumatic event spur insanity, or is it simply genetics? What about something as simple as a lack of money? The housing boom and bust figure prominently in the story, as Kennedy discovers his victims were on the verge of bankruptcy:
"Broke can lead people to places they would never have imagined. It can nudge a law-abiding citizen onto that blurred crumbling edge where a dozen kinds of crime feel like they're only an arm's reach away. It can scour away at a lifetime of mild, peaceful decency until all that's left is teeth and claws and terror. You could almost catch the stench of fear, dank as rotting seaweed, coming up from the dark space at the back of the closet where the Spains had kept their monsters locked down."
Kennedy is not nearly as compelling a character as some of French's past leads, but Broken Harbor is redeemed by French's masterful prose.
Still, the best noir you'll find this summer takes place in high school, on a cheer squad. Megan Abbott's Dare Me (Reagan Arthur) is a tour de force of sparkling sentences that delve into the sadism inherent in team sports and high school cliques.
Dare Me revolves around the relationship of best friends and cheerleaders Addy Hanlon and Beth Cassidy. Cassidy is the queen bee of the squad, which takes itself much more seriously than even the cheerleaders in Bring It On. Abbott writes:
"For much of the school year, the rest of the student body views us as something like lacquered lollipops, tiared-princesses, spirit whores, chiclet-toothed bronze bitches. Aloof goddesses unwilling to mingle with the masses.
"But we never care because we know what we are. ...
"At the pep rally they see our swagger, our balls, our badassery. They get to see what we can do, how our bodies are not paperdolls and how our tans are armor.
"How we defy everything, including the remorseless sugar maple floor planks nailed a half-century ago, ten feet below, our bodies tilting, curving, arcing, whipping through the air, fearless."
When a new cheer coach, Colette French, arrives at school, everything changes. Loyalties are divided, power plays ensue, and someone ends up dead. But the thrill of Dare Me is not in the plot, it's in Abbott's writing. What could become cliched in lesser hands is striking and fresh in Abbott's.
Given that noir has for so long been the province of men, it's refreshing to see a new generation of women writers embracing the genre and reshaping it as their own. The femme fatale is alive and well, as these books prove, but she's no longer just an archetype.

text: To speak with Herbert Kretzmer, writer of the English-language lyrics for "Les Misérables," is uncannily like being let in on his creative process. He chooses his words — considering one, tossing it out, employing another, while muttering asides like "yes, that's better" — as if he were composing on the spot. Kretzmer was 60, and the longtime theater and television critic of the U.K.'s Daily Mail, when he took leave to tackle the "Les Misérables" project on a five-month deadline before the London debut of the musical in 1985. He's now 87, and last year he and French composers Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil collaborated once again, to add a new song to the musical — "Suddenly," sung in the movie by Hugh Jackman — which has been nominated for an Oscar.

Toffee, red currant jam and red pear, and slight dark toast then spicy, earthy hops.
Plum pudding finish and clean bitter linger.

Lots of St Austell beers get their buzz from unexpected hops like Galaxy (Trelawny) and Cascade (Proper Job) - this plays it straight with First Gold, Fuggles and EKG - thus, no surprises. And you absolutely must let it warms - sweetens, the fruit comes out and the IBUs bite harder and spicier.
Complex and competent, which is not to say exciting.

Enjoyed this bottle out of a large snifter glass.
A: Pours a amber hue with a 2-finger white head that slowly dissipates leaving a great trail down the glass and ending in a wispy lace.
S: Malty aroma with a decent caramel and fruity background.
T: Sweet malt flavor with a slight fruity middle and finishes slightly sweet and malty.
M: Medium body and carbonation.
O: Great example of English Bitter – second time having this beer and was great both time.

Amber beer with cherry-colored reflex; off-white foam, creamy and compact (obviously a finger as usual).
Marked malt aroma, with hints of burned, and then make your mark to a light orange jam due to the English hop.
It is (relatively) strong for a English beer, and you can feel that, both as a malt presence, and in the structure of the beer itself. In addition to apricot, anyway present, you can feel, maybe too much, the malt and the sweetness. Nothing earth-shattering, but this issue certainly not giving freshness and ease of drinking (always compared to other English beer, of course). Even in aftertaste the malt and the sweetness tends to invade, but at the end you can find that bit of orange marmalade and a little hop bitterness which is not bad. Heavier than other beers of Cornwall, but this is its nature.

Used to love this beer when I lived down in Cornwall (late 70's), on draught (always cask) it was a wonderfully deep, full bodied brew. I hope this bottle will re-kindle some memoriers for me.
500ml brown bottle, best before Nov 2011, poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard on Sunday afternoon 14th Aug 2011. Being bottle conditioned it was poured slowly so not to disturb any sediment.
What a picture this beer is: a fantastic mahongany/deep ruby reddy brown colour with a magnificent off white foaming head, it's a joy to look at. Why have I taken so long to have one?
The malty aroma has hidden within it such delights as toffee, caramel and mixed dried fruits like raisins and plums.
The taste follows along with those same flavours from the smell, this is a lovely semi-sweet malty beer which has a hop bitterness just under the surface (First Gold, Fuggles and Goldings).
A true classic and up there with Batemans XXXB and Adnams Broadside as iconic English top quality malty special bitters.

Had this hand pulled in St. Ives, Cornwall and was knocked out by it. Beautiful, dense, creamy head on a dark amber body. Lacing remained to the bottom of the glass.
The aroma was malty, with some notes of orange and pine from the hops. Super mouth feel - small bubbles, and just enough of them. The taste was like the aroma. Some hops in the finish, then back to the malt, with a little drying at the end.
A really nice beer. I could drink a lot of this. The best beer I had in Cornwall.

I had this when traveling to Newquay, Cornwall in the UK on business. We ate at a well hidden inn called the Falcon which is in St. Mawgan, not too far from the Newquay airport. On the recommendation of my boss, I tried a pint and am extremely glad I did.
It was "cellar cold" with a nice foamy head that remained until the Glass was drained. The flavor wasn't overwhelming, but had a nice multitude of different tastes to it. I was expecting it to be bitter but it was very smooth. Low carbonation also.
My favorite part was the creaminess of this beer and the excellent aftertaste. It went down very easily and the first was quickly followed by the second.
This was definitely the best beer I had while we were in the UK. I'm hoping to luck up and find it somewhere locally as it is now at the top of my list of beers. This will definitely be the one I compare future beers to!
A - Dark brown, akin to a Guinness with a light foamy head that remained until the glass was empty.
S - Fairly strong, almost like a toffee.
T - Slightly bitter, but the bitterness did not linger and the aftertaste was excellent. Hard to narrow in on specific taste.
M - Very full and creamy.
D - 100% recommend this beer!!!

York County has spent nearly $72,000 in its legal fight with the Culture and Heritage Foundation over donated money and land.
The countys attorney on Friday said $17,000 was paid to a Columbia law firm before the county council voted in June to sue the foundation. Since then, another $55,000 has been spent on the case. The figures were released after an inquiry from The Herald.
County officials have said the lawsuit ultimately could cost taxpayers up to $250,000.
York County Council sued on June 28 because of the foundations decision in 2012 to no longer exclusively support York County museums. One of the countys goals is to ensure all donations given to the foundation before the mission was changed are used to support York County museums.
The amount spent on legal fees in such a short period should prompt county officials to go back to the negotiating table with the foundation, said York County Councilman Bump Roddey.
The taxpayers are going to lose all the way around, he said.
York County filed its suit after settlement talks between the two parties failed.
County officials have refused to release any documents related to the failed settlement attempts. Although some of the documents were given to foundation, the county cites attorney-client privilege and proposed contractual arrangements in refusing to release the documents to the public.
The foundations attorney has said he does not view the documents as confidential.
The deal breaker in earlier negotiations was York Countys demand for a full accounting of the foundations spending and assets dating back several years, Roddey said.
In hours of meetings behind closed doors, Roddey said he encouraged the county council to give up on trying to make the foundation open its books.
What may have happened years ago, he said, is water under the bridge and fighting for an accounting now wont help York Countys museums.
Still, Roddey voted along with the rest of the council in late June to sue the foundation if it rejected the countys final settlement offer. Roddey said he voted for the lawsuit as a last result because he wanted the council to be unified in its decision to sue.
The foundation has since tried twice, unsuccessfully, to convince York County Master-in-Equity Jack Kimball to dismiss the case.
Before the lawsuit was filed, York County paid the Columbia-based law firm Nexsen Pruet about $17,000 in legal fees. The firm did not require a retainer fee.
At $305 per hour in legal charges, the county has paid another $54,000 to Nexsen Pruet and $1,200 in other legal costs since the suit was filed.
York Countys regular attorney, Michael Kendree, is not paid above his salary to work on the lawsuit.
Roddey says he warned fellow council members that the cost of suing the foundation would not be worth any potential gains. I was the one kicking and screaming when we started down this road, he said on Friday.
Since the lawsuit began, Roddey said, the county has lost ground on the issues its fighting for.
After years of squabbling with some county officials, the foundation changed its mission in May 2012--electing to financially support a range of cultural and historical causes. Before that, the foundation solely supported York Countys museums.
One part of the ongoing court fight pertains to hundreds of acres of land donated in 1998 by Jane Spratt McColl--a gift county officials believed was made on behalf of the museum system.
McColl and her family gave the foundation about 400 acres of land. Nearly 60 acres have since been sold for development. The land is located along the Catawba River, near Sutton Road and Interstate 77.
York County wants control over the land and argues that it has a right to McColls gift.
But, the foundation filed an affidavit less than two weeks after the suit was filed that shows McColl wants the foundation--not the county--to use the land as it wishes.
The affidavit, Roddey said, puts the county behind the eight ball in its suit.
He said he hopes that once the public knows how much taxpayer money has been spent on the lawsuit, residents will begin calling County Council members to express concern over continuing the court battle without trying again to settle.
Roddey says council members have not been given a timeline for how long the lawsuit could drag out. But, he said, every dollar spent by the foundation or the county means a loss to the museums.
Not only is York County already spending an outrageous amount on the suit, he said, but the foundation is spending money from proceeds associated with the gift, to fight for the gift.
County Councilman Chad Williams says he didnt like the idea of suing the foundation from the beginning.
I feel like were suing ourselves, he said, because there are York County citizens on both sides of the lawsuit.
Still, the county is fighting to protect the assets that belong to the citizens of York County, Williams said.
County officials made what Williams thought was an acceptable settlement offer that could have kept the two parties out of court, he said.
But the foundation rejected the pre-lawsuit offer. A representative from the organization then asked Chairman Britt Blackwell for more time to negotiate after the council voted to file suit.
The cost of the lawsuit so far isnt ahead of projections that were given earlier this summer, Williams said, noting that he expected a large portion of the expenses to happen near the beginning of the court battle.
Still, he said, if both sides could agree to start settlement discussions again, hed be willing to go back to the negotiating table.

For those of you who do not already know this, Gerald Ford is a special man in American history in that he took part in not one, but two cover ups related to the JFK assassination. First off, he was one of the authors of the fictional piece known as the Warren Report. Then he pardoned Richard Nixon so that the real reason for the Watergate break-in would not be revealed.
For those of you who do not know the Nixon connection the JFK assassination you should start doing a little research of your own, but I'll tell you where to start looking…start with the Watergate burglars and the "tramps†who were picked up at the scene of the Kennedy assassination. They seem to be the same people. Then research where Nixon was on that fateful night. Nixon, along with the probable kingpin of the assassination George H. W. Bush, are the only two people on the planet who can't remember where they were on that day but records show that they were both in Dallas.
Start poking into this and you will be shocked at what you may find. In the meantime spend your emotions mourning for our nation, democracy, Iraq and its citizens or just about anything…rather than for Mr. Ford. Think about it

Rockets Rally To Edge Seahawks, 75-73
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 11/30/2011
TOLEDO, Ohio - Junior guard Dominique Buckley poured in 18 of his team-high 21 points in the second half to ignite a late surge and lift host Toledo over UNCW, 75-73, in a non-conference men's basketball game Wednesday night at John F. Savage Arena.
The Rockets won their fifth consecutive game to improve to 5-1 on the season and won for the second time in as many tries at home. The Seahawks dipped to 0-5 and fell in their third road test of the season.
Four of Toledo's five starters reached double figures, topped by Buckley, who scored nine of his points at the free throw stripe. He went 5-of-10 from the floor and 9-of-10 at the foul line as the Rockets converted 15-of-21 free throws. Sophomore guard Rian Pearson added 18 points, freshman guard Julius Brown scored 15 and sophomore forward Matt Smith had 12 for UT.
UT's second half comeback overshadowed an outstanding individual performance by UNCW freshman Adam Smith, who pumped in a career-high 27 points on 11-of-20 from the field and 2-of-2 at the line. Another freshman guard, K.K. Simmons, scored a career-high 11 points in his first start and junior forward Keith Rendleman chipped in 10 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
The Seahawks, playing the first leg of a four-game road swing, took control early in the first half and still led with 5:31 showing before the Rockets rallied behind Buckley and Pearson.
After Smith staked the Seahawks to a 64-60 advantage with a fadeaway jumper along the left baseline, Buckley strung together seven straight points. He scored on a layup and free throw to close the gap to 64-63 and added four free throws to give UT a narrow 67-64 edge.
Buckley later tossed in two more free throws and Brown converted a layp to put UT ahead, 75-68, before Simmons drained a triple and Smith added a pair of free throws to tighten the game to 75-73 with 41 seconds on the clock.
The Rockets missed from close range as the shot clock wound down with five seconds left, but Smith's desperation heave glanced off the bottom of the net as time expired.
Both teams came out firing in the early going, combining to connect on eight of their first 13 field goal attempts, before the slippery Smith heated up.
After Pearson was fouled behind the arc and made two free throws to give UT a 14-11 edge at 14:25, Smith took over. He scored seven points in a 12-2 spurt that helped the Seahawks grab control, 23-16, with just under 11 minutes remaining.
The Seahawks increased the lead to 10 points, 29-19, when sophomore guard Tanner Milson rattled in a three-pointer from the left side to cap a six-point flurry.
The Rockets then rallied behind Brown's long distance shooting to tie the game at 32-all. Brown drained three consecutive triples and Pearson's putback at 3:16 brought UT even. However, Smith answered with his third trifecta of the half and Simmons made a pair of free throws with 25 seconds left to give the Seahawks a 41-37 advantage at the break.
The Seahawks continue their road journey on Saturday when they return to the Midwest to battle Illinois State at 7 p.m. in Normal, Ill. The Rockets visit the Windy City on Saturday to take on Chicago State in a 3 p.m. tip-off.
GAME NOTES: Adam Smith's 17 points in the first half topped his 16-point effort in the opening 20 minutes of his collegiate career at Maryland on Nov. 13...Eight Seahawks scored in the contest...Toledo built a 36-33 advantage on the glass...K.K. Simmons did not have a turnover in 27 minutes in his first start at point guard...UT outscored UNCW in the paint, 34-18...The Seahawk bench outscored their counterparts, 11-0...UT shot 52 percent in the second half...UT snapped a two-game losing streak to UNCW and evened the all-time series at 2-all...Senior guard Trevor Deloach celebrated his 23rd birthday by scoring two points and collecting four rebounds...It was the first game this season between the CAA and MAC leagues...UT avenged last year's 64-42 drubbing at Trask Coliseum.

Went on the evidence. Spent a lot of time with each other in deliberations coming to the conclusion that they did.
Alicia Anderson: What was the initial reaction?

Benjamin Alard, Harpsichord and Organ: "Alard Plays Bach"
Join us in the glorious acoustic of All Souls' Church for performances on both organ and harpsichord by a rising star in baroque music. Benjamin Alard is a French organist and harpsichordist who won the Bruges International Harpsichord Competition in 2004 at age nineteen. His studies include harpsichord with Andrea Marcon and organ with Jean-Claude Zehnder at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. In 2005 he was named titular organist of St. Louis-en-l'Île, Paris, where he plays the stunning new Aubertin baroque organ. Benjamin Alard's program will include works by Bach, including early works and a French Suite for harpsichord, and an assortment of organ works including a trio sonata and chorale preludes performed on All Souls' superb Fritts-Richards tracker action organ. (Note: general admission, no assigned seating.)
A new star is born at the Musical Antiqua competition of Bruges; the whole presentation was fabulous, full of inspiration, authority, mastership and seductiveness. – Martine Mergeay, La Libre Belgique
Alard shows a stimulating curiosity and an infallible technique. A talent to follow closely. – Roger Tellart, La Lettre du Musicien
ARTEK and Les Sacqueboutiers Gwendolyn Toth, director:
"The Missing Link – A Celebration of Johan Rosenmüller"
Between Monteverdi and Bach lies an entire repertoire of glorious sacred music. Johan Rosenmüller (1619-1684) was equally a genius, and was one of the most important links between the early and later baroque styles. ARTEK, Les Sacqueboutiers, and violinist Enrico Gatti feature several of Rosenmüller's outstanding solo cantatas for alto or soprano, along with virtuoso instrumental music by Biber, Schmelzer, and Weckmann. This concert is a celebration of the flowering ofGerman baroque music in the second half of the 17th century.
...the performances, under the direction of Gwendolyn Toth, had a youthful flair, even a certain sensuality, that stood out in a season of routine ritual. – Alex Ross, New York Times
The Fifth Book of Madrigals, as performed by the outstanding musicians of ARTEK, is a stunning vindication

Le Poème Harmonique: "Venezia dalle calli ai Palazzi"
Enter a candle-lit realm of enchanted music and motion as Le Poème Harmonique makes their San Diego debut. Their program is a celebration of Venice in the Golden Age of the Baroque, when art music and popular forms came together and mingled. From the madrigals of Monteverdi to the unjustly neglected music of Francesco Manelli, Le Poème Harmonique weaves a magical atmosphere, both auditory and visual. Starting as a regular concert, Venezia dalle calli ai Palazzi develops into a world apart, thanks to the stage direction of Benjamin Lazar, who has worked with the singers to recreate authentic baroque expressive gesture in performance.
La Poème Harmonique [is] a France-based early-music group that I would get on an airplane to hear. – David Patrick Stearns, artsJournalblog
Vincent Dumestre [is] undoubtedly one of the most interesting interpreters of Baroque music. – C. Huss, Le Devoir, Canada
Fretwork with Elizabeth Kenny, Lute: "Pleasant are the Teares which Musicke weeps"
This concert celebrates the 450th birthday of John Dowland, the finest lutenist of his age, and one of England's greatest renaissance composers. In 1604 he published Lachrimae, a collection of music for viols and lute, which includes a "transcendental journey" based on his most famous song, "Flow my teares," as well as a series of remarkable galliards, allemandes, and pavanes. Fretwork is one of the world's premiere violconsorts, and returns to San Diego with equally noted lutenist Elizabeth Kenny.
The viol group Fretwork remain supreme interpreters of Dowland...
– Fiona Maddocks, The Observer
No group play the viol repertoire with more flair and feeling than
Fretwork. – Geoff Brown, The Times
The brilliant Kenny … played with remarkable clarity.

The English Concert: "Baroque Extravaganza: An Evening of Suites and Concertos"
The English Concert is simply unparalleled. Directed since 2007 by Harry Bicket, TEC performs to critical acclaim throughout the world, and has made more than 100 recordings. Tonight's performance includes the baroque repertoire that is TEC's specialty, including suites and concertos of J.S. Bach and Telemann, and features flutes, horns, oboes, oboe d'amore, and trumpet as well as strings, culminating in a suite from Rameau's spectacular Les Boréades. Come and savor the extravagantly baroque sound of The English Concert!
With first-rate forces at his disposal, Bicket created a wonderfully organic entity and an indelibly poignant, probing performance of Bach's masterpiece. – The Daily Telegraph
A victory for vigorous, healthy music-making... – The Times
This concert is made possible by generous support from Mr. Sam Ersan.
Fabio Biondi, violin and Kenneth Weiss, harpsichord:
"Music of Bach and Locatelli for Violin and Keyboard"
Fabio Biondi has performed in the great concert halls both as a solo violinist and as the founding director of Europa Galante, one of Europe's finest baroque ensembles. He is joined for this performance of works of Bach and Locatelli by American harpsichordist Kenneth Weiss. Weiss, who studied with Gustav Leonhardt, is active both as a soloist and as an opera director. He is on the faculty at the Paris Conservatory and the Juilliard School. Three of Bach's sonatas for violin and harpsichord feature on this concert, along with the Concerto Italiano (performed by Kenneth Weiss), and a sonata for violin and continuo by Bach's contemporary, Pietro Locatelli.
|This concert is partially funded by a WESTAF TourWest grant. TourWest is supported by the National Edowment of the Arts
Biondi's violin playing was both finely poised and electric: full of energy, but never aggressively so, always elegant of phrasing and refined of tone. – Chicago Tribune
Mr. Weiss played with a graceful sense of line that transformed these dance pieces into full-fledged concert works. – New York Times
