The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Pistons 105, Bucks 98: Detroit big men dominate in Jennings' return
It was billed as Brandon Jennings' return.
But the Milwaukee Bucks had far bigger headaches than Jennings on Wednesday night.
They were dominated by Detroit Pistons big men Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe on the way to a 105-98 defeat at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
Drummond finished with 24 points and 19 rebounds and Monroe had 18 points and 17 rebounds for the Pistons (9-10).
Milwaukee (3-15) lost its second straight and for the 13th time in its last 14 games.
And the Bucks starters were missing in action, meaning the load had to be carried by the reserves on this night.
Ersan Ilyasova paced a strong bench effort with a season-high 22 points and 10 rebounds and Luke Ridnour added 10 points and eight assists in 29 minutes.
The Bucks starters scored just 23 points in the first three quarters as Milwaukee trailed, 80-67, entering the final period.
Milwaukee tried to make a late run and pulled within 98-93 on a three-pointer by Brandon Knight with 1:36 left. But Jennings sank two free throws and found Josh Smith with a long outlet pass for a basket and a 102-93 Detroit lead inside the final minute.
Jennings did not shoot well (4 for 16) but had 17 points and 11 assists in his first game against the Bucks in Milwaukee since the July 31 trade that sent him to the Pistons. He committed six turnovers.
PLAYER OF GAME: Drummond was a force in the paint for Detroit and even survived a Hack-a-Shaq (Bang-a-Drum) tactic late in the game as he made 2 of 4 free throws after being fouled twice intentionally by the trailing Bucks. Drummond sank 8 of 13 field goals and 8 of 14 free throws.
STAT OF GAME: The Bucks allowed 42 free throw attempts and the Pistons hit 32 for a mark of 76.2%. Detroit hit far more free throws than the Bucks attempted (22).

Detroit headline tomorrow: Jennings leads Pistons back to Milwaukee with 17 points and eleven assistsHide replies
I'm sensing regret. :)
I thought it was understated hyperbole, myself.
Hey Charles!!! 'Bang - a- Drum'...............pretty good...................now pay your royalties to Todd Rundgren.
On 25% shooting with 6 turnovers. I'd say they won inspite of him.
they got the Head-T0ppahhs' Fogerty!!
I thought they won in spite of those two big dudes with 36 rebounds. They was krakkin good.
all i can hope is that the "we wont tank" rhetoric coming into this season was nothing more than lip service. otherwise hammond seriously needs to be let go if he had the rest of the front office believing that this squad would compete for anything other than the #1 pick.
i dont think they made any "win now" moves..... i think they made quite a few "we need to fill the roster" moves.
the talent on this team is even worse than id imagined. put that together with a woeful coach and tanking comes naturally. even with a superior effort every night they wont win 20 games. and I thought Brandon knight was better than this. he probably did too.
Gotta unleash Rad the Impailer on these Head-T0ppers!!! He always good for @ least 1 moving screen, 1 rebound, 1 made shot and 1 assist in two minutes.Hide replies
Minutes to increase Wingo. Zaza an Udoh both limped off. Sova may have to move into the starting lineup with Henson the starting center.
might have to bring back The Earl of Barron on a ten day??
Is Violet Palmer part of the Tank Conspiracy?? I'll have to axe Kaptain Kurtz.
keon clark is not available. for at least 4 to 8 years.
I heard that after tonight, tRader John was asking for 2, first rounders for SuPa SoVa..........that's what Z-Man told me, anyway.Hide replies
.....or five second rounders.
.....in the years 2019, 2029, 2039, 2049 and 2059.
"Jennings did not shoot well".
What? You expect that stat to change. Not likely. And a few of those unforced turnovers were inexcusable for a star player in his All-Star season.
The kid is still a punk.Hide replies
There was a star NBA player out there?
If youd told me the bucks decided not to hire another coach after Skiles jumped ship I could have easily believed you. Sure the talent is at a low level but theres still no excuse to be that sloppy mentally and physically. They keep getting clobbered in the third quarter. gee, right after coaches really need to do some coaching. whoda thunk? Telly Savalas or whatever his last name is said something about Drew telling the team to have pride etc. Coaching at the level he is that takes a lot of gall to say something like that. Plus I didn't think the effort was that bad. They were so outmanned inside there wasn't much they could do. The one small silver lining in an otherwise very dark cloud is that the players seem to be
paying very little attention to the coach. So they've got that going for them.Hide replies
Watching MSU - North Carolina last night, Roy Williams was quoted as saying that he doesn't expect to have to coach effort, or some such. Should be understood. I realize that the NBA season is long, but if someone isn't (can't) give effort, there are sometimes other options on the bench.
But yeah, it is difficult to differentiate between poor talent and poor effort.
Phil Jackson once famously said that the way to motivate players was to go out and get motivated players, and then keep them. Anyone who thinks otherwise has watched too many sports movies.
We hustled (especially Ersan and Henson, I thought), we out passed them, we ought shot them and out blocked them. The difference in the game was that they had so many rebounds that they got to shoot nine more times. That'll do it. And that will always be the "fatal flaw" of this lightweight team, playing against the Drummonds and Monroes.
Same old Bucks.Hide replies
Actually, these Bucks are different. They are accidental Tankists, just like the rest of us.
There is a difference between tanking and losing. You can't take credit for being a 'spot-on' anything if all your moves were obvious "win now" ploys.
all i can hope is that the "we wont tank" rhetoric coming into this season was nothing more than lip service. otherwise hammond seriously needs to be let go if he had the rest of the front office believing that this squad would compete for anything other than the #1 pick.
i dont think they made any "win now" moves..... i think they made quite a few "we need to fill the roster" moves.
Better a liar, than a dunce?
Another close loss....We may need more Caron and Ekpe to get more blowouts.Hide replies
looks like Icky and Zaza may be joining Caron on the blown out tank tread list?
The 3 Tanketeers?
*I was the annoying guy 3 rows behind the Pistons bench. I told Cheeks that Billups in street clothes is better than Jennings in uniform. I got a laugh out of Billups. Mo looked at me as if to say "I agree". Security guards glared at me when I told Jennings he played The Game and got knocked out, as well as when I said Jennings punts the ball to the other team more than the Lions do on 4th down. I finally got Jennings to give me an ugly look when I asked him "What did the 5 fingers say to the face? SLAP!" Even though we lost, I at least had a fun time. I am convinced more than ever it was addition by subtraction in trading Jennings, even if Knight and Middleton don't progress.*Did you guys see the Pistons trainer? Dude was like 6'6 and 250. Guy could easily gotten a double-double on Ersan or Zaza. * My distain for Zaza is getting worse. Please trade him on December 15. He is worthless. Can't rebound, score or play defense. Hammond's dumbest signing to date.Hide replies
I thought you were the one who ran out to shake Jenning's hand at the end.
I thought it was Z-Force Man thanking Phenom for the opportunity to have TWO first round picks.
Did the NBA season start yet or are these still exhibition games?Hide replies
When are you going to start your regular posting season. These pre-season posts are quite lame.

Greek Stuffed Tomatoes
On a visit to Santorini, Greece, I searched for the perfect stuffed tomatoes. Wild fennel grew alongside the road perfuming the air as I hiked along the winding roads. I couldn't find exactly was I was looking for so when I returned to my studio I created this version of the perfect Greek stuffed tomato. Be sure to use tomatoes at their peak ripeness as the flavor is incomparable otherwise.

UPDATE: [10 p.m.] At Montgomery County Community College, all classes scheduled to begin before 3:30 p.m. Wednesday are cancelled. The school promised a decision by noon Wednesday on whether evening classes would be held.
Power is still out at the college's central campus in Blue Bell Tuesday evening, which is requiring the school to use gas-powered generators to power its information systems, including its website and email facilities.
Administrators and support staff were asked to report to work at their regularly scheduled times on Wednesday, safety permitting.
UPDATE: [9:30 p.m.] Norristown Area School District posted the following notice to the high school's Facebook page:
"On Wednesday, October 31st, All NASD schools will open at their regularly scheduled times. All after school activities will also resume. Thank you for your patience!"
Norristown Patch has been unable to reach school officials for confirmation, though there is no reason to believe the notice is incorrect.
East Norriton Parks & Recreation Director Larry Brown notified Norristown Patch that due to the large amount of trees down and debris, East Norriton will push back trick or treating to Saturday evening along with Norristown and West Norriton.
Norristown Patch will be checking in with other neighboring municipalities first thing Wednesday morning.
Original Story:
Governor Tom Corbett told reporters today that Pennsylvania "dodged a bullet" with Hurricane Sandy and noted that states with shorelines, like New Jersey and New York, were some of the hardest hit. In Pennsylvania, three have reportedly died as a result of the storm over the course of the last few days alone. All were related to falling trees or branches.
While most local officials are agreeing with the governor's assessment, many are still working overtime to clean up the destruction left in the wake of the storm.
Here in Norristown, Norristown Fire Chief Thomas O'Donnell reported that his firefighters answered close to 50 calls between yesterday and this morning.
"Most of them involved wires and trees down," said Chief O'Donnell. "We had a couple homes with roofs blown off of them and one chimney collapse, but overall I think the community as a whole dodged a significant bullet."
According to Chief O'Donnell, by midday there were still 2,738 PECO customers without power and crews are currently working to restore power to those residents. Montgomery County as a whole saw more than 175,000 customers lose power, with East and West Norriton, Lower Providence, Upper Merion and Whitpain being some of the hardest hit locally.
West Norriton Fire Chief Kevin Guirate told Norristown Patch that his units had a similarly busy night and in fact were still actively responding to Hurricane Sandy-related calls into Tuesday evening. Most calls were for downed trees and wires and no injuries were reported.
"That's basically what we're dealing with now," said Chief Guirate. "There's not really much we can do but wait for PECO. It's just securing the area and moving on to the next one."
Chief Guirate noted that they were still staffed and ready to take calls as they come in.
East Norriton Fire Marshal Frank Ludwig noted that his units handled between 20 and 30 calls last night and while many were similar downed tree- and wire-related reports, Norriton Fire Co. handled a small fire at Timberlake Apartments. Firefighters handled the call so quickly, residents of the apartment building took to Norristown Patch's Facebook page to thank them for their great work.
See pictures of some of the destruction and damage firefighters were dealing with in our gallery.
Most municipalities have reported they will reopen tomorrow for regular business, including Norristown. Montgomery County offices and the Courthouse will also resume regular operating hours.
Still no word from the Norristown Area School District, but Philadelphia schools have announced they will resume classes tomorrow, as will Methacton and North Penn school districts.
The Red Cross shelter operating at the high school remains open as of Tuesday, Oct. 30.
According to the municipality, Norristown trash collection will resume on Wednesday, Oct. 31 on a holiday schedule. If your collection was scheduled for Tuesday, place trash out on Wednesday; if you collection was scheduled on Wednesday, place trash out on Thursday, etc.
Parking enforcement will resume in metered parking locations on Wednesday, with enforcement in residential neighborhoods resuming on Friday, Nov. 2.
Both Norristown and West Norriton will be pushing back Halloween trick-or-treating to Saturday, Nov. 3, from 5 to 8 p.m. so both towns can have time to clear streets and make necessary repairs.
Norristown Patch was unable to confirm Halloween plans with other neighboring communities, but will update our readers as the information becomes available.
Tree Clean Up
The municipality has offered these simple rules regarding disposal of downed trees, branches, leaves and other debris:
- Trees located on private property, including along sidewalks and alleys, are the responsibility of the property owner. When a tree falls as a result of a storm like Sandy, it is the responsibility of the property owner to properly remove it.
- Norristown Public Works crews will clear the streets of downed trees, and may cut the trees into sections so that they can safely remove to the side of the road. However, the Public Works Department will not haul off the tree for disposal. The private property owner is responsible for removing the tree and any branches.
- If you need to remove scattered yard waste, including smaller branches, leaves and other debris, place leaves in a biodegradable bag or container. Cut the branches into one-inch thick sections and tie them into bundles no longer that three-feet in length. Place these materials out for collection the second full week of every month, the day after your regular collection day.
For more information on Norristown clean-up efforts and post Hurricane Sandy operations, call the municipality at 610-272-8080.

Wading through the vast web of laws and policies that govern our public lands can be confusing even for lawyers, let alone for ordinary citizens. Even commenting on a Bureau of Land Management resource management plan, which guides grazing, mining, oil and gas drilling, and off-road vehicle use, can be daunting. But The Wilderness Society aims to cut through the tangle with its new Denver, Colo.-based BLM Action Center.
With the BLM
working on as many as 90 land-use plans over the next five years,
The Wilderness Society wants to "raise public awareness about what
their opportunities and rights are to participate in these planning
processes," says Bill Beagle, communications manager for the
center. Patterned after The Wilderness Society's Wilderness
Support Center in Durango, Colo., the BLM Action Center has an

People often say that water is the new oil, but really, it's not. Oil is a fossil fuel that takes millions of years and a lot of pressure to create. When we burn oil – for example, by driving our cars – it is gone forever (or at least for a few more millions of years before it can be created again!).
Water, on the other hand, cannot be created or destroyed (this is not strictly true, but bear with me). The same amount of water is around today that was around when the Earth was formed. The truth is there is a lot of water on Earth – just not a lot of drinking water.
Here are some facts about just how little drinkable water is available:
* 97.5 percent of all water on Earth is salt water, leaving only 2.5 percent as fresh water
* Of that fresh water, nearly 70 percent is locked in ice
* Most of the rest of that freshwater is in aquifers which we are draining much more quickly than the natural recharge rate
* Two-thirds of our freshwater is used to grow food
* With 83 million more people on Earth each year, water demand will keep going up unless we change how we use it.[1]
Margaret Catley-Carlson of the Global Water Partnership has said, "We cannot create water, but we can manage it better, much better." [2] Take, for example, the longest water tunnel supplying NYC: it is 85 miles long, and it leaks 35 million gallons of water every day. We need to become much smarter about how we manage this precious resource and about how we collect, analyze and use water data.
There are three ways we can become smarter about water management: Instrumentation, Big Data analytics, and cooperation.
Instrumentation involves smart meters and sensors that take digital readings (pressure, flow etc.) and stores them in a database. The combination of smart meter data and GPS location data allows for rich visualization of the information. On top of this we can also display water pipe information, asset information (such as manholes, pumps, and work orders), as well as customer information. We can be smart about this and organize all of the information using a semantic model. For now, think of a semantic model as a flexible model that allows us to connect information from different sources, for example, one that allows the water utility operator to determine what pipes are associated with which customers.
Big Data analytics can then be applied to the data collected through instrumentation. We can classify analytics into three broad categories:
- Descriptive analytics (finding patterns in things that happened in the past)
- Prescriptive or optimization analytics (the math of making things better in the present)
- Predictive analytics (foretelling the future)
Let's look at concrete examples of these, as applied to an instrumented water system.
To understand the power of descriptive analytics, watch the movie Moneyball. Moneyball tells the story of a poor baseball team that takes a sophisticated descriptive analytics approach and wins 20 consecutive games. The same kind of descriptive analytics can be applied to water assets such as pipes, pumps, etc. Descriptive analytics could allow a water utility to pinpoint leaky water pipes down to a particular type of pipe that's manufactured by a local company.
For prescriptive or optimization analytics, let's travel to Europe. I come from a town in southern Ireland called Cork, and a couple of years ago I was walking home when I met some water utility workers making holes in the road. After chatting with them, I learned that the holes in the road were for acoustic sensors, which use sound to locate leaks. I also found out that the pipe networks were very old, and nobody knew where the pipes really were. But they did know they were leaking very badly. This story is echoed across many European cities and towns, and indeed, around the world.
One of the major contributing factors to these leaks is the water pressure in the pipes, which is kept high to ensure good pressure on the tap side. However, analytics can help here. We can run optimization analytics on the pressure reading data across the network to optimize the pressure in the network. This optimization will still maintain good pressure on the tap side, but bring down the overall pressure in the water network. Long term, this will reduce wear and tear on the pipes, and as a consequence reduce the leaks.
Lastly, predictive analytics can provide water utilities with information about when leaks or failures (pumps, pipes, sensors, meters, etc.) are likely to occur.
The theme of World Water Day 2013 is the International Year of Water Cooperation. Instrumentation and Big Data analytics are truly the foundation for cooperation about water management. Getting back to our Moneyball analogy, analytics enabled the Oakland A's to build a better baseball team, for less money, but team players still had to cooperate and play as a team in order to win. Citizens and corporations, alike, must also cooperate when it comes to smarter water management.
In some communities such as Dubuque, Iowa, citizens use online water conservation portals to gain a better understanding of their water usage. They can also compare their water use with other similar local households. Here we are seeing cooperation between the citizens and the water utility company. Citizens can also collaborate by becoming the collective "eyes" of the water utility. This allows for authorities to get up-to-the-minute information on the state of the water infrastructure and prioritize fixing these problems. Check out the WaterWatcher initiative in South Africa.
I believe we can manage our water better by making our water networks smarter and by encouraging cooperation.
I'll be on a live Facebook chat today, to discuss how technology can help conserve water. Please join me.
But before I go, I will leave you with a few more sobering facts about how we currently use water:
Americans use about 100 gallons of water at home every day * Millions of the world's poorest subsist on fewer than five gallons per day * 46 percent of the people on Earth do not have water piped to their homes * Women in developing countries walk an average of 3.7 miles daily to get water * In 15 years 1.8 billon people (a third of the world's current population) will live in regions of severe water scarcity [1]

Carolee Carmello, Rebecca Luker and Emily Skinner to Honor Harold Prince at Arlington's Signature Theatre
By Adam Hetrick
Tony Award nominees Carolee Carmello, Rebecca Luker and Emily Skinner will salute Broadway director-producer Harold Prince during the Signature Theatre's fourth annual Stephen Sondheim Awards gala April 22 in Arlington, VA.
Established in 2009 in honor of composer-lyricist Sondheim, Prince will be presented with the honor during a black-tie Gala Benefit at the Embassy of Italy. The Sondheim Award Gala will benefit Signature Theatre's artistic, education and community programs.
Carmello worked with Prince in the original Broadway production of Parade; while Luker appeared in The Phantom of the Opera and Prince's Tony-winning 1994 revival of Show Boat; and Skinner was picked to be part of the director's revue The Prince of Broadway – which was recently delayed. The 6 PM evening also promises performances by Erin Driscoll, Nova Y. Payton, Matthew Scott and Rachel Zampelli.
"It's a great personal honor to award this year's Sondheim Award to Stephen Sondheim's longtime collaborator Hal Prince," said Signature Theatre's artistic director Eric Schaeffer in a statement. "After presenting the Sondheim Award to three amazing women of the American theatre – Angela Lansbury, Bernadette Peters, and Patti LuPone – we felt it was time to celebrate the 'Prince of Broadway.' We look forward to saluting this giant of the American musical this spring for all of his contributions to the American theatre and for being an inspiration to us all."
Composer-lyricist Sondheim added, "After nine major collaborations over a period of 55 years and a friendship that is even longer, it seems somewhat redundant, not to say bizarre, that I should be giving an award in my name to Harold Prince. But any award that acknowledges Hal's skills, inventions, and generosity is an award worth giving. His achievements range well beyond his contributions as a director and a producer."
In 2009 Signature Theatre inaugurated The Stephen Sondheim Award in recognition of the importance of Sondheim's work to Signature and to theatre in general. In April 2010 the first award was given to stage, screen and television actress Angela Lansbury. In 2011 Tony Award-winning actress and singer Bernadette Peters received the award. Last year, the award went to Tony winner Patti LuPone. The Award, according to the Signature, is given on a yearly basis to "an individual for his or her career contributions to interpreting, supporting, and collaborating on Stephen Sondheim's music works."
As director and/or producer, Hal Prince created some of the most enduring theatre of all time, including The Pajama Game, West Side Story, Fiorello!, Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, Evita and The Phantom of the Opera, the longest-running show in Broadway history.
Sponsorship for the 2013 Sondheim Award Gala ranges from $1,000-$100,000. Individual tickets are $1,000. For more information about sponsorship and tickets contact Zack Lynch, Development Manager at (571) 527-1828 or email@example.com.

First batch 2012 (doubtfully the last)
A: Hazy milky straw in color with about a half inch of cinnamon latte like foam which has good retention.
S: Apricot, tart green grape, Crab apple lemon bar On a window sill over looking a grassy field (faint). Cardamom and earthy spice shows as this warms up.
T: More bitter than expected here but in a very clean dry feeling sort of way. In a way this stuff hits like soda water. The oak is present but makes a better window than a door (white oak sawdust?). This is really the post modern beer which perhaps began with Westmalle and then Unibroue. Like Rothko of brewing this beer plays with the perfectly complex simple... Or the idea of honing in on tight areas. Pimp.
A Utopian marriage of flavor though one struggles to name more than a few of them. Here's an idea and a painting.
A house sits: Tippy toed, and defensively stilted amongst sun bleached, oak driftwood lined, and beachgrass peppered dunes.
Atlantic ocean floor sands, loosing their war of land to sea life and salt water. Atop a flowery, herbaceous, and mostly purple garden; stone fruit trees grow while a soft breeze speaks it's surroundings through windows agape.
M: rich frothy Mad Dog like carbonation with a tingling finish.
O: underwhelmed and then stunned to some degree. What's the story with this beer? Every Anchorage beer I've had to date has treated Brett like Gordon Ramsey or Tom Colicchio treat Risotto... To near perfection.
This beer is great because it does the same thing but in a totally different way. It's perhaps the perfect funk beer. Herbal , spicy, fruity, earthy and let very little defines itself (making the whole greater than the parts). This is no different but it's done very differently from love buzz and bittemonk. I get the feeling this is what de proef initially intended on with it's wild beers. Though this works like high art.

I got a bottle of Anchorage Brewing Company's The Tide And It's Takers in a recent trade, thanks Dan! This will be my first beer from Anchorage Brewing Company and a Tripel with brett aged in wine barrels sounds pretty interesting to me, so lets see how it goes. Bottled in November 2012 Batch #2. Poured from a brown 750ml corked and caged bottle into a Belgian tulip.
A- The bottle looks pretty nice, it's got a nice artsy scene of some rough seas on it and it's got lots of good information on it, I think it's fairly eye catching. It poured a nice slightly pale yellow color that took on more darker yellow and golden color when held to the light with two and half fingers worth of bubbly white head that died down to a thin ring that stayed till the end and it left some nice sticky, spotty and patchy lacing behind. This was a very nice looking beer, I liked the color and the lacing.
S- The aroma starts off with a higher amount of medium sweetness that's almost bordering on being highly sweet and it's followed by a great fruity aroma being the first to show up and it's a mixture of lemon pear, banana, pineapple and citrus rind like aromas and it leads right into some wine barrels that impart a light wine like aroma with a noticeable oak aroma coming through. Up next comes the yeast which is a little Belgian yeast like, but it's the brett that seems to show up the most and it imparts some nice funky barnyard aromas. Towards the end comes some sweet malts and a little more Belgian yeast that gives a little bit of Tripel like aroma towards the end. This beer had a great aroma, I liked the complexity, how much the brett showed up and the fruity aromas.
T- The taste seems to be pretty similar to the aroma and it starts off with the sweet malts being the first to show up and they lead right into some of those nice wine barrel aspects that I got in the aroma and it seems to show up just enough. Up next comes the yeast with brett still sticking out the most, but the Belgian yeast is still noticeable and gives this beer just enough Tripel Like flavors, but the brett offers some additional complexity with some some typical funky brett flavors. Up next comes a little bit of bitterness followed by an earthy flavor that must be from the hops and it's followed by all those great fruity aspects that I got in the aroma with the pineapple and citrus fruits seeming to stick out the most. On the finish there's a lighter amount of medium tartness that lingers a little into the aftertaste with some great fruity and funky brett flavors. This was a great tasting beer, I thought all the different flavors never clashed and they came together for a very tasty beer.
M- Smooth, fairly crisp, refreshing, clean, on the lighter side of being medium bodied with a medium amount of carbonation. This beer had a very nice mouthfeel, I really liked how refreshing it was.
Overall I thought this was a great beer and I thought it was a great example of a barrel aged brett beer, it's for sure not a true example of a Tripel, but there's just enough tripel aspects coming through to let me know that this is what this beer started as, but over a year and half it's became a pretty unique beer. This beer had great drinkability, it was smooth, clean, fairly crisp, refreshing, not filling and the taste did a great job at holding my attention, I don't think I would have any problem drinking a bottle by myself, it would make for a great beer to enjoy on the porch on a warmer summer day. What I like the most about this beer was the taste, aroma and drinkability, all three of those aspects seemed to be the highlights of this beer for me. What I liked the least about this beer is nothing, but I'm not a fan of not being able to purchase it in Michigan. I would for sure buy this beer if I ever saw it, I would love to try it fresh and I would also cellar some since it seems to hold up well with age. I would recommend this to anyone who likes brett beers, it may not be a big hit to most Tripel fans, but if you like them funky then you should like this beer. All in all I was impressed with this beer and I'm pretty happy I decided to trade for this one, it's for sure a beer worth seeking out. This beer made for a great first impression for Anchorage Brewing Company and I would really like to try more of their beers. So far this is my favorite funky Tripel, I like it more than Vivant's Tripel aged for a year. This is just a great beer and I'm glad I had the chance to try it. I don't normally pair beer with things besides food, but I decided to listen to the 36 crazy fists album this beer was named after and it made for a nice pairing. Great job guys, you can be for sure I'll be seeking out more you your brews, keep up the great work.

4.4/5 rDev +6%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.5
Batch 2 2012 poured into Three Floyds Teku.
Appearance is hazy,light golden with a medium small soapy white head that settles down to thin froth layer. Expected more carbonation with the brett and sugars that you'd think supposedly would be in this given its a tripel.
On the nose you get huge brett esters followed by a fruity, sweet malt base. Not particularly a tripel nose on this. More in tune with a belgian pale or blond mixed with a bit of saison. The aroma is quite wonderful nonetheless. Pineapple, sweet lemon, grass, white grape almost winey, apple, Chinese pear, yellow nectarine, and a very welcome blueberry. Wow, great nose on this. The year and a half in the cellar has treated this good from what I can tell so far.
Yeah, the brettanomyces has done work, this sucker is pretty damn dry! A big funk comes in on the palate which was not present on the nose. Also not as fruity and you still get some of the hops in the form of bitterness. Getting plenty of pear, apple peel, lemon zest, heavy old room musk, fresh cut grass, more of that white grape character from the nose, some oak tannins, and subtle old herb nuance. Also has a brine like characteristic.
Mouthfeel is light medium. Sports fluffy, mid to high level carbonation, and finishes dry making it a super drinkable 9% abv brew. For what the beer offers in other terms, the mouthfeel is an awesome component of the end result.
Anchorage brewing has a winner here. I'm actually not the biggest fan of tripels so I'm glad this isn't heavy on the characteristics of that style. Very much an American wild interpretation and drinks more like an Orval, saison, fruity blond mix. So smooth and easy drinking, a bomber of this can go down so easy and get you on a high horse buzz if you don't watch it. Crushable tenish range abv tripel mockery all up in this bad boy...

Louis Woodhill, Contributor
I apply unconventional logic to economic issues.
President Obama is proud of his bailout of General Motors. That's good, because, if he wins a second term, he is probably going to have to bail GM out again. The company is once again losing market share, and it seems unable to develop products that are truly competitive in the U.S. market.
Right now, the federal government owns 500,000,000 shares of GM, or about 26% of the company. It would need to get about $53.00/share for these to break even on the bailout, but the stock closed at only $20.21/share on Tuesday. This left the government holding $10.1 billion worth of stock, and sitting on an unrealized loss of $16.4 billion.
Right now, the government's GM stock is worth about 39% less than it was on November 17, 2010, when the company went public at $33.00/share. However, during the intervening time, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by almost 20%, so GM shares have lost 49% of their value relative to the Dow.
It's doubtful that the Obama administration would attempt to sell off the government's massive position in GM while the stock price is falling. It would be too embarrassing politically. Accordingly, if GM shares continue to decline, it is likely that Obama would ride the stock down to zero.
GM is unlikely to hit the wall before the election, but, given current trends, the company could easily do so again before the end of a second Obama term.
In the 1960s, GM averaged a 48.3% share of the U.S. car and truck market. For the first 7 months of 2012, their market share was 18.0%, down from 20.0% for the same period in 2011. With a loss of market share comes a loss of relative cost-competitiveness. There is only so much market share that GM can lose before it would no longer have the resources to attempt to recover.
To help understand why GM keeps losing market share, let's look at the saga of the Chevy Malibu.
The Malibu is GM's entry in the automobile market's "D-Segment". The D-Segment comprises mid-size, popularly priced, family sedans, like the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord. The D-Segment accounted for 14.7% of the total U.S. vehicle market in 2011, and 21.3% during the first 7 months of 2012.
Because the D-Segment is the highest volume single vehicle class in the U.S., and the U.S. is GM's home market, it is difficult to imagine how GM could survive long term unless it can profitably develop, manufacture, and market a vehicle that can hold its own in the D-Segment. This is true not only because of the revenue potential of the D-Segment, but also because of what an also-ran Malibu would say about GM's ability to execute at this time in its history.
GM is in the process of introducing a totally redesigned 2013 Chevy Malibu. It will compete in the D-Segment with, among others, the following: the Ford Fusion (totally redesigned for 2013); the Honda Accord (totally redesigned for 2013); the Hyundai Sonata (totally redesigned for 2011); the Nissan Altima (totally redesigned for 2013); the Toyota Camry (refreshed for 2013); and the Volkswagen Passat (totally redesigned for 2012).
Automobile technology is progressing so fast that the best vehicle in a given segment is usually just the newest design in that segment. Accordingly, if a car company comes out with a new, completely redesigned vehicle, it had better be superior to the older models being offered by its competitors. If it is not, the company will spend the next five years (the usual time between major redesigns in this segment) losing market share and/or offering costly "incentives" to "move the metal".
You are living in a fantasy world. NA had too much capacity in 2008- no one wanted GM's assets. GM going under would've hurt Ford and helped the Japanese automakers. Pricing would've gone up due to the loss of all GM/Chrysler production. GM's plants are older than their competitor's plants and they are in unionized areas- there was no appetite to purchase any of GM's assets. The notion is absurd and such an idea would only be proposed by an ideologue that knows nothing about the auto industry. You say that there would've been much investment without the bailout, but failed to mention GM has invested a few billion dollars SINCE the bailout and hired back thousands of workers. GM's share is down, but profits are up vs 4 years ago and they have been hiring, not shrinking since emerging from bankruptcy.
Volt was under development at least a year or two before the bailout. It takes 4-5 years to develop a car. Most people should know that by now. Volt has outsold the electric Nissan Leaf by a huge margin.
Every automaker in the US has gotten subsidies and tax breaks from the government. This includes Ford, Toyota, NIssan, Hyundai, etc. VW got $400m in incentives from TN to put a plant there. Kia got the same from Georgia before they agreed to build a plant. Ford took billions in low interest loans from the government to retool for more fuel efficient vehicles.
Im glad someone here has a financial IQ that's higher than your average 8th grader. You can hate GM. You can hate Obama. what you cant do is make a logical argument that GM is headed for bankruptcy in the next few years.
Thank you, John! I don't people realize how bad bailouts are, yet they stand so firmly behind them.
Then by all means, pay back the money and make whole the preferred stock-holders that GM and Oblowhole ripped-off. If I were Romney and Ryan, one of my first moves would be to shut down GM and Chrysler until a complete and thorough audit is performed and all recent union agreements reviewed for constitutionality.
Hey smooth,
Every auto maker is "now" coming out with an electric vehicle. GM is ahead of the pack with an electric with no range anxiety. Other car makers are playing catch-up. Plus, the Volt idea came from a die-hard SUV lovin freak, Bob Lutz…a good opportunity is a good opportunity.
Oh, yeah, all that "abundant" credit that was like low-hanging fruit. A small little loan for carmaker, Mr. Banker was making a ton of those loans back in 2008. Let me guess, you had some alcohol blackouts from your frat parties in college. whoa….grab a brain cell and hang on.
….Most important of all is that if GM is allowed to go bankrupt in '08, it doesn't disappear. Instead, carmakers with a clue get the pieces of the company that are prized by the market at a discount. The discount is the author of profitability that ensures more investment in the company, more job creation, and a more vibrant Detroit….
C'mon John. You want to stop bailing out Banks and Financial Institutions, too?
I definitely left out 'think'.
All great points, John. Particularly the first one. Few people in my circles will purchase a GM car or truck, simply because to them, it stands for Government Motors. For many people I know personally, that is enough for them to not consider a GM vehicle as a viable candidate.
On the political front, it looks two-faced for an Administration to give bailouts to corporations, while defiling all corporations as unacceptable "fat cats." Hmmm.

Texas College Road Trip: Rice University
Learn what it's like to attend this school in Houston.
Students Halsey Fowler (left) and Amy Beger ride their bikes across campus at Rice University in Houston.
The Byzantine-style brick buildings and cloisters on Rice University's nearly 300-acre campus near downtown Houston are so Zen and picturesque that wedding parties are seen frequently.
Students invariably cite the residential college system, which they compare to Hogwarts of Harry Potter fame, as Rice's most unique feature.
The university randomly assigns all undergrads (for the duration of their Rice tenure) to one of 11 residential coed colleges, each of which has its own student government, dining facilities, dorms, and common areas.
About 75 percent of the private university's roughly 3,500 students live on campus. Though there are no sororities or fraternities, "we have social life for everybody," says Ryan Gupta, a senior from New Orleans and coeditor-in-chief of the student newspaper.
Rice students, or Owls, participate in nearly 200 clubs and organizations that range from water polo to light opera. The campus robotics club earned second place in the 2009 VEX Robotics World Championships by building a cube-stacking robot.
[Learn five reasons for getting involved in college.]
The Rice Memorial Center is a popular gathering point, housing two student-run businesses, a chapel, a radio station, and the student-run Program Council. The campus recreation center, a two-story, three-year-old environmentally friendly complex, has an Olympic-size pool, and racquetball, squash, and basketball courts, as well as an "outdoor adventure center" that offers off-campus trips and rents equipment to students.
Though Houston has had some crime problems, students like Charlie Dai of Columbia, Md., a 2012 graduate, feel off-campus housing is "actually relatively safe" and cheap. To get around, about 42 percent of students have cars; they can also use free passes for the Metro light rail system to get to Reliant Stadium (home of the Houston Texans football team) and to concerts, restaurants, and art museums throughout the city.
"Houston itself is just as diverse as New York City," says Dallas native Becca Isaac, a senior who transferred from New York University. Isaac cites Houston's restaurant scene, its lack of conformity to Texas stereotypes, and welcoming personality as major pluses.
On the academic front, Rice is highly competitive: Only 19 percent of applicants were accepted in 2011. The school offers some 50 undergraduate majors, of which bioengineering, political science, psychology, and biochemistry/cell biology are the most popular.
The student-faculty ratio is an impressive 6 to 1, and nearly 70 percent of classes have fewer than 20 students. That means Rice students get a lot of face time with faculty, says Matt Sawyer, a Houston native and member of the class of 2012. They also can work with professors on a multitude of research projects for credit (or even for pay during breaks) on topics from the Arab Spring to biomedicine.
Tuition runs about $36,600, and room and board costs roughly $12,600.
[Get tips and expert advice on how to pay for college.]
Rice is known for the pranks (or "jacks") that the residential colleges play on one another. One college, Hanszen, for example, traditionally orchestrates massive pranks on rival Wiess, whose steel architecture and outdoor balconies invite irreverent references to prison architecture. Hanszenites recently woke their sleeping rivals at 4 a.m. with the sounds of sirens, signifying a jailbreak.
Houston does get notoriously hot, particularly in the summer, but the heat is manageable, says Kenneth Misner, a junior who grew up just north of Houston in The Woodlands. Students can also keep cool by stopping at various popular campus hangouts, including the Rice University Art Gallery and a 475-seat theater that hosts performances of the Visual & Dramatics Arts Department.
There's also the Rice Coffeehouse, which Gupta says reflects the school's quirkiness (its workers are called Keepers of the Coffee). So too does Rice's annual Beer Bike race, which was founded in 1957, though most students just chug water.

By TEDDYE SNELL
Staff Writer
Chronic headache sufferers recognize the symptoms from a mile away: sensitivity to light, the dull, faint ache in the temples, or a slight wave of nausea.
And they know the next 24 to 48 hours can be miserable.
June is National Headache Awareness Month, and according to Tahlequah City Hospital Chief of Staff Dr. Brent Rotton, more than 45 million Americans suffer from chronic, recurring headaches. Headache Awareness Week focuses on helping people understand what makes their heads ache and how to get relief.
"A migraine is a throbbing, one-sided pain that often causes nausea and keeps people from functioning in their work or personal life," said Rotton. "About 30 million Americans suffer from this treatable neuro-biological disorder. Yet it is estimated that more than half of all people who have migraine headaches have never been diagnosed and are failing to take advantage of the relief that is available today."
According to the National Headache Foundation, migraines generally begin with a dull ache, developing into a constant throbbing, pulsating pain the victim may feel at the temples, as well as the front or back of one or both sides of the head. The pain is usually accompanied by a combination of nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and noise.
Some people - about 15 percent of migraine sufferers - experience an aura before an attack. An aura may include seeing wavy or jagged lines, dots or flashing lights; tunnel vision of blind spots in one or both eyes.
The cause of migraines is believed to be chemical reactions in the brain, and treatment may include over-the-counter or prescription medications, as well as self-help techniques such as relaxation training or biofeedback.
WebMD lists common migraine triggers as fasting, dehydration, certain foods like chocolate or caffeine, stress, weather changes and lack of sleep.
While migraines are one of the most severe strains of headache, they are not the only type. Others include tension, sinus, cluster and rebound headaches.
The National Headache Foundation indicates tension-type headaches occur randomly and are often the result of temporary stress, anxiety, fatigue or anger. Symptoms include soreness in the temples, a tightening, band-like sensation around the head and contracting head and neck muscles.
A cluster headache is named so because the attacks generally come in groups. The pain arrives with little or no warning, and is usually centralized on one side of the head. Cluster headaches are often described as the most severe and intense type, and are believed to be caused by chemical reactions in the brain.
Rebound headaches are the result of taking acute headache medications too often. Instead of relieving the pain, they actually begin to cause the ailment they were prescribed to treat.
Rotton said there are a number of ways to deal with the malady.
"If you're bothered by headaches, a headache log can help in identifying triggers that bring on headaches, as well as pinpointing the location and type of pain," said Rotton. "Even if prevention isn't always possible, there are new products on the market that can bring relief from all kinds of headaches."
Rotton also indicated it's important to seek help, as migraines are considered a disease and deserve the same care and attention as any health problem.
"Visit a doctor specifically about your headaches," said Rotton. "This lets your doctor know the problem is serious and not just an afterthought. If your primary care physician doesn't treat migraines, search for a doctor who does."
Rotton said that typically, physicians may want a headache-sufferer to pursue a treatment plan for about three months and then schedule a return appointment to evaluate the treatment's effectiveness.
"Headaches are legitimate, biological disorders, not psychological conditions," he said. "If headaches are serious and frequent enough to interfere with your life, it's time to schedule a visit with your doctor."
Deana Franke, owner of Oasis Health Food Store, said she doesn't often suffer from headaches, but she understands the pain they cause others.
"On the rare occasion that I get a headache, I try to do breathing exercises, use pressure points on my face, and yoga," said Franke.

Secondary Colors: A Collaborative Book
January 28, - May 18, 2013
Twenty-one members of the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers participated in this collaborative book project. Each member contributed an edition of sections, exchanged them with other members, and then collated them so that the resulting contents of all the books are the same. The members bound their books individually, producing twenty-one unique bindings. The theme was "secondary colors" and participants were encouraged to interpret that in any way they liked, both in their editions and in the binding.
Founded in 1906, the Guild of Book Workers is the only national organization for all of the arts of the book, including bookbinding, conservation, printing, papermaking, calligraphy, marbling and artist's books. The Guild currently has 850 members, both professional and amateur, from all over the country. The ten regional chapters organize lectures, workshops and exhibitions for our members - this exhibit was organized by the Delaware Valley Chapter but also includes members of the New England Chapter. See the Secondary Colors website for details and images.
The History of Science and Discovery at the Harvard Mineralogical and Geological Museum
October 22 – December 20, 2012

Sublime Spectacle: Exploration and Geology in the Grand Canyon
July – October 2008
While it can be appreciated solely for its natural beauty, the Grand Canyon is also one of the best places on earth to see a record of the earth's geological past. This exhibition showed what the canyon consists of and how it was formed, and also discussed the exploration of the canyon by scientists in the 19th century. Clarence Dutton's 1882 Atlas to Accompany the Tertiary History of the Grand Cañon District, one of the most beautiful works on the canyon, was displayed.
