What are the survival rates for osteosarcoma?
Next Topic
Surgery for osteosarcoma
How is osteosarcoma treated?
This information represents the views of the doctors and nurses serving on the American Cancer Society's Cancer Information Database Editorial Board. These views are based on their interpretation of studies published in medical journals, as well as their own professional experience.
The treatment information in this document is not official policy of the Society and is not intended as medical advice to replace the expertise and judgment of your cancer care team. It is intended to help you and your family make informed decisions, together with your doctor.
Your doctor may have reasons for suggesting a treatment plan different from these general treatment options. Don't hesitate to ask him or her questions about your treatment options.
General treatment information
Great advances have been made in the treatment of osteosarcoma during the past several decades. In the 1960s the only treatment available was amputation, and only a small number of patients survived 2 years or more after diagnosis.
Since that time, doctors have found that chemotherapy given before and after surgery will cure many people with osteosarcoma. It may also allow some people who previously would have needed to have the affected limb amputated to have limb-sparing surgery instead.
Making treatment decisions
Once osteosarcoma is found and staged, the cancer care team will talk with you about treatment options. It is important to take time and think about your options. Because osteosarcoma is rare, only doctors in major cancer centers have a lot of experience treating these cancers.
For children, a team approach is recommended that includes the child's pediatrician as well as children's cancer specialists. Treatment is best done at a children's cancer center. For adults with osteosarcoma, the treatment team typically includes the patient's primary care doctor, as well as specialists at a major cancer center. Doctors on the treatment team might include:
- An orthopedic surgeon (a surgeon who specializes in muscles and bones) experienced in treating bone tumors
- A medical or pediatric oncologist (a doctor trained to treat cancer with chemotherapy and other drugs)
- A radiation oncologist (a doctor trained to treat cancer with radiation therapy)
- A pathologist (a doctor specializing in lab tests to diagnose and classify diseases)
- A rehabilitation/physical therapy expert
For both adults and children, the team would also include other doctors, nurses, rehabilitation therapists, and technologists who have essential roles in diagnosing and treating the disease and assisting in recovery after surgery.
The types of treatment used for osteosarcomas include:
- Surgery
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation therapy (in certain cases)
In most cases, both chemotherapy and surgery are needed.
All of these treatments may have side effects, but many of them can be made less troublesome. Your medical team will help you take care of the side effects and will help you work closely with nutritionists, psychologists, and social workers to understand and deal with the medical problems, stress, and scheduling issues related to the treatment.
Because many of these things can be more complicated for cancer in children, many people will be involved in your child's overall care. As a parent, taking care of a child with cancer can be a very big job. It is important to remember that you will have a lot of help. It is also important for you to know that the health care professionals who treat children with osteosarcoma are using the experience and knowledge gained from many decades of detailed scientific study of treating this disease.
The next few sections describe the types of treatment used for osteosarcomas. This is followed by a discussion of when these treatments are used in different situations.

The blessings of light, heat and a warm bed
(Page 2 of 3)
On a more public note, I'm thankful that our elected leaders have done reasonably good jobs dealing with the aftermath of the storm. I hope they can fulfill their promises to renew and rebuild.
I am grateful the president was re-elected, and I hope he commits himself to a continued recovery for the country, more jobs for those who are out of work and peace in the world. The challenges sometimes seem insurmountable. As I write, militants in Gaza are shelling areas of Tel Aviv, Israel. We still have young women and men in Afghanistan. The Arab Spring has chilled. I hope our leaders can summon the wisdom to bring us through this turmoil.
I am thankful that since the election, there have been murmurings of conciliation and cooperation from both sides of the political spectrum. I hope that, next year, I can say I'm thankful for the wisdom and leadership of all of our elected representatives. Dreaming is allowed on Thanksgiving, isn't it?
Also, I'm thankful for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, who appear four nights a week on Comedy Central with political satire that helps keep my moral compass steady. Their dead-on humor pierces the puffed-up rhetoric coming from Washington. Nightly they tell the emperor that he has no clothes, and nightly they make me laugh. Both shows went dark for three nights following Hurricane Sandy, but when they turned the lights back on, we got the message: The show must go on.
On a personal note, I thank whatever stars may be for a place to gather this Thanksgiving, and for the faces that will beam at me from around the holiday table. The loves of my life will come together and eat turkey and hold their bellies and laugh at old jokes.
With the sorrow of recent losses still in mind, I know I will feel especially thankful for the gathering of loved ones and the delicious Thanksgiving meal. The real treasure of our lives shines in the faces of the sisters and brothers and mothers and fathers and children around the Thanksgiving table.

Boston >Food & Dining > The Vault
105 Water St, Boston, MA | Directions 0210942.358092 -71.054748
Sat: 7pm-2am, Mon-Fri: 11:30am-2am
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Central
Still the Best – I've been coming here for years. Great after work spot and Great food. Love the new renovations as well.
Great on Thursdays – Last poster has obviously never spent much time at this fine establishment. They have scrumptious food, tasty cocktails and delicious help. Their staff are polite and courteous, among the best in the city of Boston, from the bartenders right down to the doormen everyone is phenomenal. There are very few places I would rather go on a weekend night to enjoy a few cocktails with friends.
Suburban Crowd – Place stinks. It's for people from the suburbs that wished they lived in the city. Not for real Bostonians.
Great bar – I love The Vault. The place has it all. Great food, great atmosphere, great service. The staff is fab. They truly make the place shine. The bar is long & spacious. Seats do go quickly. After 5pm, you're lucky if you can get one. However, there are plenty of tables that do not require reservations. There's a semi-private dining area with a fireplace & it's own bathroom. Perfect to get this space reserved for a private party or work function. I've held functions at the Vault & each event was a success. During the week, the place is jammed with the after work crowd. The beginning of the week is quieter than the end. Street parking is limited but there is an outdoor lot right around the corner.
THE PLACE TO BE – One of the best after work bars in town. Fun and energetic. Food is really good. Thurs. is a crowded night, but a great time.
Good Drinks, Crowded Bar – The drinks were fabulous, but it was so crowded on a Thursday night that my friends and I were barely able to turn around. Definately arrive early to get a spot by the bar or find a seat. They go quickly!
A Financial District favorite re-opens with a new approach, aimed toward attracting social after-work crowds. – In Short
With a lengthy menu of upscale comfort fare and a bustling bar scene, the Vault is a popular after-work location for downtown workers. The busy bar serves up designer drinks (espresso martinis, mango margaritas) and affordable draft beers. Among the numerous starters available are homemade chicken tenders, steamed shrimp dumplings and mini-cheeseburgers. Secretaries stick to turkey BLTs and grilled portobello sandwiches, while corporate types opt for Black Angus sirloin and chicken marsala.

I'm sure there are more, but after a few minutes of pondering the past, I came up with three instances over the past 15 years of being around youth sports in the Rail City where bad news and tragedies hit me pretty hard. Given that, I'm sure the life-changing news hit the affected families much harder than it hit me.
•In 1997, basketball was everything to Shannon O'Hair. The Reed High senior was an all-league and all-state selection as a junior in leading the Raiders to a Northern 4A championship and state semifinal berth.
She played on the AAU tournament circuit throughout the spring and summer of 1997, eventually earning a scholarship offer from Nevada, which she quickly accepted.
She signed her official letter of intent in November, but she began experiencing soreness and pain in her knee. She got it checked out and one game into her senior season, her basketball career was done. Doctors told her she should never play basketball again because the wear and tear on her knee might jeopardize her long-term ability to walk.
It was sad to see. O'Hair was far from the most athletic prep player you'd see but she was so fundamentally sound, had great footwork in the post and could finish any shot from anywhere around the hoop. The kid had worked so hard to achieve her goal of earning a D-1 basketball scholarship and it was being stripped from her for no apparent reason.
I remember thinking "Why did this happen to such a great kid?" O'Hair did her best to overcome the adversity. She still got a college degree from Nevada. She is now a teacher at Depoali Middle School, coaches middle school basketball and is a proud mother and wife.
She looks back on it now and at 31 understands that was a smaller obstacle than it seemed like it would be at 17. But at the time, it felt like her world was falling apart.
"I thought that's all I was, a basketball player," O'Hair, now Shannon Hartley, said. "It's like my identity was gone. Looking back it seems so silly to be consumed by that but at 17 that's what was important to me … my mom and dad, and friends, were amazing. I got through it."
•There are not many sadder stories than that of the Welch sisters. Both had personalities bigger than the Truckee Meadows, vibrant teenagers with big goals. In the fall of 2004, Jessica Welch was gearing up for her senior basketball season at Spanish Springs. The talented point guard was one of the most competitive prep athletes I'd ever seen. She had begun to receive some scholarship interest from a few schools, but was the most excited about a potential offer from Colgate, an elite academic school on the East Coast.
Cassie Welch was a born leader. She was smart and had charisma. She could have been a politician or a stand-up comedian. She was a junior class officer and set to be the SSHS girls basketball team's manager after earlier in the year getting back surgery, which ended her basketball playing days.
The two girls died in a car wreck on Pyramid Highway on their way to school on Monday, Nov. 15, 2004. It was the second day of tryouts for the basketball team that season.
I've had administrators, teachers and coaches at Spanish Springs tell me that's the most emotional event that's ever happened at the 11th-year school and that the loss of those two girls' lives was immeasurable on their friends and their teammates.
What makes the deaths of Jessica and Cassie a sadder story is how it had to affect, and surely still does, their father, Clint, and brother, Clint Jr. Diane Welch, the mother of Jessica, Cassie and Clint, died prematurely from unsafe medication while the girls were in middle school. So in a span of four years, Clint and Clint Jr. lost their wife/mother and daughters/sisters.
I cannot imagine the heartache. I still think about that family and ask "Why did this happen?" A case with the basketball jerseys of Jessica and Cassie Welch still hangs in the SSHS gymnasium in memoriam of the two talented, personable girls.
•Spanish Springs currently has a pair of talented athletic sisters who are fighting through a tough time of their own. Morgan and Myrissa Prince are both multi-sport athletes for the Cougars and the kind of girls I'd want my daughter to grow up to be: smart, engaging, hard-working, athletic, loyal and funny to name a few attributes.
They are that way in large part because of the excellent parenting of their father and mother Alan and Wendy. But the Prince family's time with Alan was cut short when he passed away two weeks after suffering from a brain aneurysm.
I actually coached both Morgan and Myrissa in basketball at Shaw Middle School for two years apiece and knew Alan quite well. He was a hard-working employee at Costco, a sports fan, and more importantly, great husband and father.
He was so proud of his kids and always had a light in his eye and smile on his face when talking about them.
I am a huge Oregon Ducks fan and whenever Alan got a chance to give me a hard time about wearing my UO gear, he'd do so. He was a die-hard Nebraska Cornhuskers fan so I'd return the favor when I got a chance.
Alan Prince was a wonderful provider for his family. With two kids in addition to Morgan and Myrissa — Austin and Kami — money had to be a limited resource, but I never saw his kids go without or miss out on opportunity near or far. Alan was always there to ensure his kids didn't miss out.
I have little doubt it will be tough now that he's not. But I also know the Prince family will find light at the end of the tunnel because Alan gave them the strength to do so when he was here and will still find a way to lead them while he's gone.
•We've all been touched by death in our lives. It hurts some of us more than others. It's the unexpected loss of life to those close to us that hurts the most.
It affects every walk of life; those who dedicate themselves in politics, those who are entrenched in the arts and those like me, who are engulfed in youth sports.
I don't have any magic words about healing the pain and scars after a tough loss hits us hard. But the common theme in emotionally tragic scenarios is that those who love us and care about us, help us heal. I saw many of Shannon O'Hair's friends and family band together to help her overcome a time in her life, when she thought everything she wanted had slipped away. I saw the same when Clint Welch and Clint Welch Jr. did lose nearly everything important in their world. And I've seen the outpouring of support for Morgan and Myrissa Prince, and the rest of their family, through this trying time of Alan's passing.
Death hurts. It inflicts emotional pain that takes time to heal. Our friends and family help us heal. I don't have any extra special insight here. Just know life will stop us in our tracks again someday in the future. So be the best friend and family member you can be. Someone will need you to be.

A keepsake for the archives
You never know what you'll find at estate sales. Ten years ago, the most important treasure at such a sale was not a piece of silver or furniture, but a piece of Anniston history. It was a written account by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Milton Noble, a couple whose life here goes back to the beginning of the Woodstock Iron Company. According to an article written in The Anniston Star on April 2, 1931, Charles Noble was Samuel Noble's nephew and the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Noble. He was superintendent of the Woodstock furnace for 13 years and resided at 315 E. 22nd Street at the time of his death.
When Fuqua, who coordinated the estate sale, discovered the seven-page "Brief Sketch of Anniston: 1872—1922," the antique dealer was intrigued and kept it, knowing it was something that should be shared.
"After all, it was recorded by people who lived right here during The Model City's beginning," she said. "The Miltons were eyewitnesses to the achievements of the founders and the working people who made the town what it was and is today."
The Miltons' wedding in St. Michael and All Angels Church in February of 1890 was the first service of any kind held in the newly constructed church. This, and other landmarks mentioned in the text, still exist.
Reading the sketch by these Anniston pioneers is like reading a journal that is wonderfully and beautifully penned in the descriptive style of the turn of the century. Fuqua's disclosure on finding the document comes at a perfect time — during the celebration of Anniston's 130th birthday.
It's easy to picture the labor going on in the mills, and the handsome residences being built. Also, the excitement of a parade that marked Anniston's 16th birthday was paramount. (Will Anniston's current birthday observance include a parade?) Other events they recorded have 21st century updates.
Look for an additional story in July concerning the Miltons' "Brief Sketch of Anniston."
Ayers Room a gathering place
The Ayers Room is becoming a kaleidoscope of arts. The Monday movies, various lectures — and in June, lessons on photography and ceramics are being offered. Even a dance tournament is on the schedule for June 13. What could have been more fitting than for Mike Stedham's mystery play, "Murder by the Book" to have been performed as it was May 30 for teens in the reading program? On June 4, singer Chris Brooks entertained with his program "Places in the Heart," in which he took viewers to romantic, exotic and nostalgic places with vocal standards.
"Places can be kept alive with the expression of music," as the soloist said.
Brooks is director of worship and arts at First United Methodist Church in Sylacauga and sings in churches throughout the Southeast. His accompanist, Robin Waldrop, has been an accompanist at FUMC in Sylacauga for 35 years.
Another program this month that should be interesting is a photo and art "Safari" with local artist Larry K. Martin, June 25 at 2 p.m.

(Annie Leibovitz/Vogue)When tragedy hits New York City, the most financially and culturally diverse 300 square miles in the country, we are all the same. But in the recovery processes, our differences are more pronounced than ever.
Look no further than Vogue's controversial Superstorm Sandy-themed fashion spread in this month's issue for proof. "Storm Troupers," a photo shoot by famously exorbitant photographer Annie Leibovitz, features supermodels dressed in couture gowns "celebrating" the heroes of the storm that knocked the whole of New York City temporarily on it's behind, and left portions of the outer-boroughs permanently in crisis.
It's a dedication to "New York's Finest"--both the heroes of Sandy and the heroes of fashion, explains the the feature's clunky opening statement. But if you ask a legion of outraged media critics the comparison is way off.
How Hurricane Sandy put New Yorkers at risk
Slate's Katherine Goldstein calls the spread "awful" and describes one particular image, of two models (in contrasting stripes by Mark Jacobs and Michael Kors!) surrounded by one city hospital's heroic neonatal staff, "downright bizarre."
In another image, the models throw their arms around New York firefighters as they triumphantly bound through the tattered streets of the Far Rockaways. By the estimation of Vogue's feature the area is now "on the mend." But if you ask anyone who lives in Far Rockaway area, where 10 percent of residents were still with out power as of January, Hurricane Sandy is still in effect and no high-fashion photo-shoot will change that.(Annie Leibovitz/Vogue)Salon's Daniel D'Addario calls Vogue's decision to combine luxury fashions with a crisis that's largely become an issue of poverty "clueless." New York Magazine's Charlotte Cowles calls the six-photo spread "ridiculous."
Commenters on Vogue's website and Facebook page are more direct. "What is there to celebrate when people are still suffering?" writes one commenter. Another calls the spread "tasteless," adding, "Egregious wealth juxtaposed with human loss isn't fashionable." Others shared the following sentiment posted by a Facebook user: "I think you should have left the models out of this and just focused on the workers and citizens of New York."
In a statement to Yahoo Shine, Vogue Senior Editor Corey Seymour defended their creative direction. "Like others in the city, Vogue responded to Hurricane Sandy by showing our support for those affected and our gratitude to the rescue workers," explains Seymour. "We chose to celebrate the hard work of the teams who responded to the crisis in a way appropriate to the context of a fashion magazine."
But Vogue's take on what's appropriate hasn't been aligned with the general public in recent years. The magazine's decision to use devastation as a background for luxury and impeccable, fantastical eye-candy is becoming a bit of a sticking point.
There was the 2007 Italian Vogue shoot featuring models wrestling soldiers in a war-torn Iraq-inspired setting, and the 24-page spread of models seductively portraying oil spill victims. More recently, there was the Italian Vogue trend story on so-called "slavery" jewelry, all of these creative choices resulting in accusations of exploitation and Zoolander-levels of callousness.
On it's own, you could almost interpret the spread as an artistic meditation on the different ways people experience public devastation depending on their financial status. But with the clunky captions that quote first responders recalling the initial horrors of Sandy, followed by credits for the dress designers, that interpretation flies out the window.
Vogue's oil spill shoot causes outrage
Still, Vogue has its defenders. The Guardian's Rosie Swash points to Vogue's contribution to Sandy relief, as a co-sponsor of a fashion-based fundraiser back in November. "The magazine helped to raise $1.7million for the relief effort," writes Swash. "If it wants to photograph the Air NYPD and put those men in its magazine, it has earned the right."
Vogue's staff also directed us to a Con Edison spokesperson, who came to their defense.
"We have great respect for the magazine and the industry it represents" Con Ed's Alfonso Quiroz told Yahoo Shine. "We think it's fantastic that Vogue chose to honor us along with the first responders after the most devastating storm in New York City history."
Quiroz is referring to a particular image in the Vogue spread, set in Con Ed's East River Generating Station. In the shot, six uniformed service employees in hard-hats cluster beneath a model. She towers above them all on a platform—as if cut and pasted into the image-dressed dramatically in a billowing Oscar de la Renta gown.
It's an expression, if awkward, of how the city comes together in crisis regardless of their occupation. But it also suggests that even when they come together they're still worlds apart.

Fantasy Impact: The Chicago Blackhawks have signed the ageless Andrew Brunette to a one-year deal.
The Blackhawks get: A steady, reliable power-play specialist, but Brunette doesn't have any 50-point years left in him.
Fantasy Players Impacted: I don't see any way that Brunette cracks this team's seven most offensive forwards: Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp, Michael Frolik, Dave Bolland and Bryan Bickell. So this pushes Viktor Stalberg and Rusty Olesz back.
Fantasy Players this helps, in order:
None. I think Brunette gets his 40-45 points on any team, regardless.
Fantasy Players this hurts, in order:
1. Stalberg
2. Olesz

8am- 8pm
Neighborhoods: Hiwan Hills
Great place to stay – Though I live in the Denver metro area, I like to get away to the mtns. when I can. Highland Haven is a great place to stay after a day or two in the mtns. Very rustic looking with the "feel" of Colorado in every room. The service is excellent. The total experience is well worth the slightly higher cost. Great place for your out of town guests to stay...
Best B&B in Colorado! – My husband and I spent two wonderful nights at the Highland Haven in May. It was by far the best decision we made on our trip our west! The setting is romantic and beautiful...located next to a mountain creek. The owners are warm, friendly and go out of their way to make your stay one to remember. The homemade breakfast was delicious each morning. The HH would be the perfect setting for a romantic getaway, honeymoon or conference. We hope to have the opportunity to return someday.
Where should I start? It's Great! – I've stayed here more than once - and every room is better than the last. What is great is that it is always up-to-date. The owners and staff take such pride in the accommodations and the service they provide. They are always adding something to the services, ammenities and rooms and cottages. From the smallest details in the rooms to the stylish decor to the outstanding breakfast - I find myself planning my next trip there before I've left. Because it's a short drive from denver in a setting that gives you that "vacation" feel without spending an arm and leg to get there it's a regular getaway for me. I can't say enough good things about the Inn....already planning my next visit for a Girls Weekend!
Classic log lodging with picture-postcard views from private balconies and decks. – The Scene
Guests enter the grounds after crossing the bridge over Bear Creek and coming through the stone column entryway. This B&B is nestled amid massive rock outcroppings in the picturesque foothills just thirty minutes west of Denver. It offers a beguiling combination of rusticity and elegance. This is a favorite destination for honeymooners, families with older children and small corporate retreats.
The Details
Accommodations are in stand-alone cottages with names such Blue Spruce, Hillside and Creekside, or in one- and two-bedroom suites in the lodge--each with its own private entrance. Four-poster beds have goose-down duvets, which are welcome during the cool mountain evenings, even in summer. Amenities include in-room hot tubs, fireplaces and a home-baked breakfast by your hostess who is also a cookbook author.
Charming & Rustic – I loved falling asleep to the sound of the creek and smell of the evergreen trees!

the newest (as far as I know), of the avery barrel ages sours. this is a cool serious, but one that probably should have stopped with oud floris, by far the best and most complex of the lot. this one is unnecessarily alcoholic, and the rum flavors aren't all the way congruent with the highly acidic sour flavor and feel of this reddish brown beer. it smells like chokecherries and oak, not a bad combination, but the almost vinegary sour is evident, and I know from smell alone that this is going to be a real acid bomb. sure enough it is, and with the alcohol it almost hurts to drink. the flavors are intriguing. spiced rum or something similar adds a sweetness that makes the beer a little thick, and the alcohol makes it a slow sipper and a bottle to share. it has that same mouthfeel as all of the other avery sours, I don't know what it is, but im not stoked on it. maybe its their process, but it detracts from what is supposed to stand out about this beer. it could have been in red wine or whiskey for all I know, the rum isn't as specific as I would like it to be, other than the sugar, which doesn't help things. overall a good beer of course, this whole series is unique, but this one is forgettable in comparison to the others, not one I will go back to, especially for the price.

12oz brown bottle with a bottled on date.
Look: Deep brownish burgundy hue, good lacing
Smell: Big tartness, wood, mild char, cherries, faint rum, mild spice, faint leather
Taste: Sour throughout, very woody, subtle rum, warming alcohol, green peppercorn, chicory, lemon pith, brown sugar, hint of barrel char, rose water, dry finish
This is one spectacular sour ale, without a doubt a sipper though specially the strength. Great to finally see these beers come to market because Todd and I have been at the brewery when the are pulling nails if you know what I mean.

Burgundy body - extremely wood-forward, sour cherries, molasses, tart lactic funk. Over 10% and barely noticeable - rum barrels provide interesting flavours though I'd be hard-pressed to detect true rum flavour. Definitely a favorite of the day - tasty stuff

12oz bottle $10.99. Dark brown color, decent head. Aroma is putrid diapers. Seriously bad smell, shit and garbage. Not good at all. Flavor is a bit of sourness, some sugar, very mediocre. This was another disappointing sour from Avery and I just don;t like their style. Sui Generis was good but most of these are pretty poor when compared to benchmarks like Russian River. They're sort of dirty if that makes any sense.

Looks like iced tea... Dark brown brew with soapy-foam tan head. Head fades fast; no lacing.
Tons of fruit. Berry. Lemon. Tartness. Spice. Vanilla. Strawberry rules the berry :)
Thin, lightly oakey, tons of tart berry, lemon, not a ton of vinegar, but nice smooth sourness. Well done. Wood could be slightly deeper as could flavor profile, but flavors meld well with the prickly carbonation, sweetness, and extreme lack of bitterness.
One of my top favorite Avery sours, for sure; I wish I had more of these to see change over the years... A damn fine brew, highly recommended, if you can find it.

Pours a caramel brown with a slight beige head around the edges. More head to this one than the usual Avery sour I am finding. Aroma is sweet and sour; the typical Avery sour base is there along with rum, wood, berries, pineapple, sponge cake. Flavor starts off showing off the typical Avery sour base, then comes in some caramel, rum and barrel, and i get some bitter and juicy grapefruit. As it warmed, some of the berries come in and steal the space away from that grapefruit. A medium, maybe a bit heavy, bodied, not much activity mouthfeel. Overall, really digging this sour from Avery. Would drink again if the opportunity every were to present itself.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
From a 355 ml bottle (bottled August 15, 2013) into a tulip.
A-A normal pour produces some short-lived khaki foam. The head drops to a collar in less than 30 seconds, which is to be expected given the style and ABV. The beer is dark, dark cranberry-brown...kind of a unique color. I can see a few streams of carbonation.
S-The smell is pretty sour in the typical Avery style (e.g., Odio Equum and Oud Floris), but the sour is tempered a bit by the brown sugar and molasses from the rum barrel. I get tart raspberries and strawberries, the aforementioned rum flavors, and a bit of funk. The alcohol comes through as spicy warmth more than anything. Interesting.
T-The taste is similar to the smell. In other words, it is quite tart with raspberry, cranberry, and strawberry fruits and a warming, but well-integrated alcohol, up front. About halfway through, the rum barrel flavors kick in and dull the acidity/sourness. The finish is more dark caramel, molasses, and brown sugar than tart fruit. Again, interesting.
M-The feel is medium to light heavyweight with a kick of assertive carbonation up front that fades on the palate.
O-I had a hard time scoring this beer. On the one hand, I appreciate the desire to expand beyond traditional flavor categories and I don't know if I have ever had a beer with such distinguishable flavors from different ingredients, i.e., the tart wild ale versus the sweet rum barrel. On the other hand, I don't know if I actually liked how the rum barrel flavors paired up with the tart berry flavors. I guess it works, because I drank the whole bottle without thinking about it, but I was left a little puzzled at the end.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 3.75
First crack at this beer released about a week ago. $12 per bottle, 276 cases sold. #17 in the Barrel-aged series. Ale aged for a year in first use rum barrels. Poured into Duvel tulip at about 45 degrees.
The head is almost non-existent, but the few bubbles stick around the whole time. Body is clear and a deep maroon/amber. Aroma is that typical Avery sour. Smells fruity like dark berries. Flavor is a little less sweet than other Averys which must be the rum coming through. A little bit of tobacco and apricots on the back of the mouth. As it warms, these become more harsh. On the mouth it has a medium body and not much puckering.
Overall, it is a very fall-like beer. The rum is prevalent and takes away any sweetness. Take your average Avery sour, add some rum, and you get this beer. Nothing crazy, but you are probably drinking it because you enjoy the other Avery's and this one will not disappoint.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a tulip glass. Bottle 08/15/13
A- Deep ruby/garnet with a small slightly off-white head that quickly dissipated to a small ring.
S- Sour tart, some green apple, citric acid, alcohol coming through with some of the rum, very slight dark dried fruit, reminiscent of a Belgian strong sort of.
T- Similar to nose. Citric acid, green apple, slight rum and dried dark fruit. ABV is tamer than I thought it would be.
M- Medium with a lasting sourness. Bit more carbonation than the other sours that I can recall.
O- A pretty good sour. Was worried the ABV and rum barrel aging would be overpowering but I did not find that to be the case. I prefer a bit more sweetness in my sours, such what in encountered with Le Terrior but the dark fruit aspect in this one is intriguing.

Pour is amber with some light red hues when held up to the light, very nice lacing. Avery nailed the color on this one. The smell first is sour and fruity then oaky tart dry hay comes out. Tons of sour fruity flavors on the nose such as cherries, plums, apples, with hints of lemons and grapefruit as well. A nice sour taste which gives you that sour pucker that makes you want more. Plenty of the sour fruits in the taste as well. Very crisp and balanced. If you will, this is like an imperial version of JP La Roja. Really nice and a top 5 Avery sour for me. I have no idea what part the rum barrels play in this equation, but I like it.

A: light brown head that disappeared quick and a dark brown color.
S: smells like a sour with a hint horse blanket, I did get a whiff of oranges. a slight hint of rum... very light though.
T: again I do get a sense of horse blanket, a little funky and sour. I can't taste to alcohol even though it is a 10.89% brew. A little bitter on the back of the tongue that I can't pint point. A nice hint of maltyness
M: silky and smooth. still can believe that it is a 10+% brew... no alcohol burn at all.
O: smooth silky and oh so easy to drink for a 10.89% brew. I will definitely be buying this one again.

JMU outhit Marshall .209 to .131 while their 17.5 blocks were their most as a program since recording 17 against Liberty on Sept. 19, 2006. Marshall recorded just four blocks and had four service aces to Madison's seven.
Marshall only trailed four times in set one and after falling behind 7-5 went on a 16-7 run to grab a 21-14 advantage. The Dukes got the lead down to three at 24-21, but Ally Kiekover closed out the set with her second kill of the set.
Set two was all Marshall as it jumped out to an 11-2 and cruised to the 25-15 win.
The Dukes responded after the break with a dominating 25-12 performance. JMU hit .455 in the set with 11 kills against just one error and completed 11 of 13 sideouts for an 84-percent success rate.
The Thundering Herd led most of the early part of set four, but Madison put together a 4-0 run to jump ahead 19-17. The Dukes never ceded that advantage and eventually closed out the set by forcing back-to-back errors by Marshall to win 25-21.
In the fifth set tiebreak, the teams split the first 10 points to reach a 5-5 tie. From that point forward, JMU closed the match on a 10-1 run to earn the 15-6 win and claim the match. The Dukes had six kills and no errors in eight attack attempts for a .750 attack percentage while hit -.250, including eight attack errors. That set included five blocks by the Dukes with Briones contributing on four of them.
NOTES: Joining Briones on the All-Tournament team were Marshall's Ally Kiekover, Montana's Kayla Rano and Kelsey Schile and Virginia's Emily Rottman, Lauren Fuller and Tori Janowski (MVP) … JMU's 17.5 blocks were the most by the team since at least 2004.

When a $200 million aircraft breaks down in a dangerous place like Afghanistan or Colombia, pilots just can't call "Triple A." But they can call on their flying crew chief who, as most aircrew members know, knows everything.
Flying crew chiefs are the mechanics of the sky, flying missions all over the world and a pilot's best friend.
"These guys have saved many, many missions," said Lt. Col. Jeffery Smith of the 300th Airlift Squadron and aircraft commander on this trip across the Pacific Ocean. "They make our job of flying the airplane much easier."
Flying crew chiefs are specially trained maintenance personnel who attend a six-week maintenance special operations course in addition to the hundreds of hours of training it takes to become seven-level maintainer.
"We have to know everything about the aircraft," said Tech. Sgt. Mark Graveline of the 315th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron as he does his preflight walk-around inspection.
From fueling the aircraft and checking the oil, to troubleshooting a major system malfunction, these flying mechanics earn their stripes everyday. According to Smith, keeping the mission moving is critical to its success. With a trained maintainer on board small things might not become big problems.
When an FCC flies a mission, he or she has to take an enormous amount of publications with them. Thanks to today's digital technology, they are all contained in a laptop with hundreds of pages of diagrams, parts, instructions and more to keep the giant C-17 Globemaster III in the air.
In addition to the publications, they take an FCC toolbox containing things like specialized wrenches, tire pressure gauges and more.
"You never know what you will need when it comes to a fix," said Graveline.
In his trademark green flight suit, Graveline climbs under the wheel well to inspect the tires of the enormous aircraft. Carefully and methodically he covers every inch of the outside of the jet even taking note of rivets in the tail towering five stories above.
"We look for cracks, leaks and any sign of trouble," he said over the loud noise of the other jets on the busy ramp.
The cost savings of having a Flying Crew Chief could be staggering especially if they can, for example, fix something therefore making it unnecessary to send out an maintenance response team.
"These folks are specialists in many maintenance fields and save the day sometimes," said Smith. "They're even more important in places where there is no support."
Wherever the mission goes, the Flying Crew Chief goes with it making sure that the aircraft is safe and ready to fly 24 hours a day.

Congratulations on Your switch to Android, I have a Evo, The good news about owning a Android device is you will have a greater appreciation for your IPhone when you switch back, Comparably Android OS sucks when compared to IOS and the Battery life on a Android device makes using this Evo worthless.
26 Comments
Typical hater. Using rhetoric and giving no actual comparisons as to why one product is superior to another. as to why one product is superior to another.
Fan Boy!! I have an EVO, after having had an IPhone, and there are so many reasons why Android is winning, including voice to text, home screens & widgets with live data feeds & all of the Google apps that have features not available to IPhone. Apple is playing catch-up, and they need major changes in order to compete.
Do not feed the troll.
the battery life sucks because YOU have full control of a android phone… if you have bad apps running in the backround… thats a issue YOU have full control of…If you like the closed iOS system, more power to you, everyone has their own likes/dislikes… just don't shoot off your mouth without knowing…troll fed yet?
I switched from iPhone to Android and bought a cable from cable jive to use with iPhone docks. It works pretty well - http://www.cablejive.com/products/Dock-Input-Cable.html
Thanks. Ordered one and will be testing it out and posting.
Kevin, why is this post titled "Android to iPhone" when it is clearly about switching from iPhone to Android?You might want to add a few more costs incurred with switching in that direction:
Apple's iOS boasts well over 300 top tier games from the big games publishing houses ID, EA, Gameloft, Ngmoco, Popcap, and Pangea while Android scrapes together less than a tenth that number from those publishers.
Because iOS developers make 1,000% more income annually than Android developers (and the difference between them is growing at 11x the rate), high quality software will always be available for iOS first (and many times only) for the foreseeable future.
Hardware Peripherals
Because all iOS devices share a standard dock connector and a similar range of form factors, the specialised iOS 3rd party peripheral market is enormous compared to Android. Everything from oscilloscope interfaces, insulin pumps, gps amplifier docks and millions of dock equipped audio systems and home automation systems crowd shop shelves.
Because there is no standard dock connector for Android and an enormous number of sizes, shapes and form factors and far smaller sales of any individual Android device, manufacturers have no incentive or economies of scale to create peripherals for Android.Car IntegrationOver 70% of new cars feature iPod/iPhone dock interfaces and steering wheel integration allowing you to charge and interface your iOS device with the built-in buttons on the steering wheel etc. Android? No such luck.
All those billions of dollars of music, video, movies as well as apps that iOS users purchase each year will go up in smoke. At least music is not DRMed these days, but TV shows, music videos and movies are.
With well north of 100 malicious apps ranging from bank phishing trojans to botnets etc have been accepted and hosted for long enough in the Android Marketplace for millions of Android users to innocently download them and be compromised. Add CPU and RAM sucking anti-virus software to your Android shopping list and never let down your guard cause the next Android app you download could empty your bank account as quickly as 123.
Apple's iOS App Store in contrast has had not one incident of malicious software get through Apple's app review process.
Some 45% of apps in the Android Marketplace are spamware so be prepared to do a lot of wading through muck to find the gems in the Marketplace.
While your response is valid and correct…the main thing about this is that these points, save malware, are nice or moot points.
Games…while there are more games, he's not switching because he wants a gaming device. That's like giving reasons why switching to a Mac is a good move, but then saying "well, I know you're switching for performance and productivity…but hey, game selection is far worse on a Mac. So yeah."
Hardware peripherals…as long as there is a headphone jack or microUSB port…there are accessories. The rest of what you stated has been addressed at Google I/O (home automation and Android Open Accessory platform with Arduino).
Car integration…a niche market. That cost a premium, and most people aren't going to pay an extra hundred just to have steering wheel integration for their phone when voice control can work just as fine and many people still just dangerously flitter between the street and phone usage.
Media…well, if they're switching from iPhone to Android…they'll still have their iPhone,. So they'll have an iPod. That problem is solved right away.
Malware…while it is present on Android, your facts are mistaken when you say iOS has never had it get thru the review process. Just Google "Malware on iOS" and you'll find it. It's on every platform. The point is being smart enough to avoid it. That's one "point" that iOS has I guess. Apple destroys that point by telling you what you can download. But it can still get through.
Spam…this point is just pure bullshit. Nicest way to say it. App Store isn't filled with "gems" either. The fart app excuse still rings true. As the stores grow, so do the pointless apps.
By your points, it doesn't seem like you've actually had experience, fully, with an Android device. Seems you're going by what people post and say.
So with your closing, I echo it with a change…Android is a great alternative for anyone who considers it an alternative. That's the point of it being an alternative…
David,You have very low expectations of your mobile experience it seems.
The author *does* write that he uses his phone for "playing games".
Now if someone is buying a PC and includes "playing games" as one of their needs, I would indeed warn them that there are far fewer games available for the Mac. However, in the case of the Mac Bootcamp allows users to run Windows games natively so it is not so much a problem.
However, Android is not able to run iOS games.
Any comparison would be delinquent if it did not state the fact that you will not be able to play any of ID's fantastic 3D games on an Android phone or the amazing infinity Blade or the hundreds of other top tier games.
Hardware Peripherals
Most people do in fact appreciate the convenience and elegance of being able to drop their phone into a dock on built-into their clock radio or Hifi or car dock or Home Automation system etc and not have to worry about plugging in multiple cables for charging, audio, video, remote control etc. And built-in docks have the advantage of holding the device at the perfect height and angle with minimal table space wasted.
The billion-dollar iPhone/iPod/iPad peripheral industry also demonstrates that millions of users love being able to choose from thousands of cases, adapters and other peripherals. Bad luck if you want a weatherproof and shock proof bicycle or motorbike handlebar mount for your droid or an underwater case or a portable slide-in multi-channel audio recorder dock or a DJ mixing desk etc etc. It ain't goner happen for the hundreds of Android models out there.
Car integration
I'm sorry but iPod integration as standard is far more common that you make out and again means your phone is charged, audio interfaced and remote controlled with one cable or dock. I stopped using my old Windows Mobile dashboard docks I used to have in my car as having to plug and unplug several cables every time I got in and out of the car grew old way too quickly. With GPS and music as well as hands-free calling being a pre-requisite in cars these days, you need a solid dock mount with charging and the variations in Android phones gets old real quick.
Are you seriously suggestions users carry their old iPhone around as well as their new droid to play their media when mobile?
You are sadly deluded if you think there are any trojans, phishing apps, botnets, premium SMS texters, etc for iOS. The only couple of instances of malicious iOS software out there only worked on jailbroken phones that hadn't changed their default root login.
Since you don't believe me, here's what Jon Lech Johanssen, the author of DoubleTwist the most popular iTunes replacement on Android has to say on this subject:"Google does far too little curation of the Android Market, and it shows. Unlike Apple's App Store, the Android Market has few high quality apps…. are just a few examples of what's wrong with the Android Market. Those 144 spam ringtone apps (which are clearly infringing copyright) are currently cluttering the top ranks of the Multimedia category… Developers and users are getting fed up and it's time for Google to clean up the house."I am actually very glad that Android is available as an option and is giving iOS some needed competition. However, it is important that those considering choosing that platform are aware of the negatives as well as the positives. Hence the list above.-Mart
Your points are still moot. He didn't say it was a dedicated gaming machine,
so the games is still niche. Even then, he didn't say "iOS games" he said
games. Which are on Android. Are there better ones on IOS, of course. Nobody
can argue that. But is the choice on Android so low that nobody would be
able to enjoy it? No.
Peripherals, you still missed the point. Nowhere did I say nobody wanted
them. But you make it seem as if there are absolutely none for Android and
other phones. Once again. Is the selection better with iOS? Yes. Is the
selection for other phones nonexistent? No. You're implying they'd be hard
pressed to find a headphone jack. :-/ Not to mention the point that I stated
the accessories problem is being dealt with with many a manufacturers
jumping on board. You forget iPod didn't have this level of peripherals in
the first few years, so why do you expect Android to. Lets use fairness in
evaluation and not just favoritism.
Car integration, all I say is Toyota is the best selling car in America.
Most Toyota's on the road are old models. I'm willing to put money on it
that thats true for many a car manufacturers. And even more money that the
majority of drivers do not have said integration within their car. But the
point is still moot with the advent of voice control making its presence
known in many phones, including iPhone, and having hands free control. So
Media…you must be living under a rock. IPod is the most important mp3
player in the world. Do you think people aren't already walking around with
one and a smartphone even? Hell, I've seen many people have an iPod and
iPhone at the same time. So again…moot. just because you don't find it
logical, doesn't mean its not being done.
Malware. You say only jailbreak phones can get them hmm? Read this:
Its been done. Its able to be done. Whether thru sideloaded apps, App Store
apps, it thru the Safari browser. Read up and realize just because its Apple
doesn't mean its not susceptible.
As far as spam…still stick with first comment. App Store has spam too.
Every market does. If they didn't…you wouldn't have apps sitting on the
wayside or apps being pulled.
I mean, you use an HOW old quote to back up your claim? I say again…stop
trying to make deductions based on what you hear. I use both Android and
iOS…yes I'm one of those nonexistent people who has an iPod and a
smartphone. Omg. And guess what, both have strengths and weaknesses. Get
over it.
Once again…Android is a viable replacement for anyone who wants it to be a
replacement. Whether iOS or not.
On May 16, 2011 11:01 AM, "Disqus"
Games are the most popular category of apps representing around 30% of the 1 billion+ apps downloaded from the iOS App Store every month. Nielsen reports that 61% of smartphone users play games daily. Games are NOT a niche and your attempts to minimize this very real cost of switching to Android is disappointing.
Peripherals will continue to be a real problem for Android as manufacturers have no incentive to target each individual model of Android phone with their massively variant form factors and port locations when they have 170 million iPhone and iPod touch devices out there all sharing similar form factors and the same dock location. No Android model has sales approaching even a tiny fraction of Apple's devices. The iPhone alone has sold 100 million units with only small form factor differences between models. The iPod touch has sold over 75 million.
As an example, I just did a search for weather proof, shock proof bike handlebar mounts for any Android phone and the best I came up with in all the Android forums where users were pleading for something was a bag that you strap to the frame(!). So much for viewing and operating your phone's GPS apps while you ride, something I personally do all the time.MediaI'm sorry but one of the main reasons to buy a smartphone is to have it do everything for you – media, apps, browsing etc. Most people are not going to see carrying their old iPhone around as well as their Android phone as a viable solution for having access to their existing media.
You don't seem to know the difference between vulnerabilities that promptly get patched versus actual exploits. You also don't seem to be aware that you can't side-load or download apps from Safari. That is all part of Apple's secure architecture.
As far as your link is concerned, one proof of concept hacking app that has never been near the App Store or end users and a couple of legitimate apps that collected a bit more personal info than they should have does not compare to what is now plaguing Android.
There are not and have never been any phishing apps hosted from the iOS App Store, while the Android Marketplace has hosted 50 apps masquerading as mobile banking apps each targeting a different institution that were in fact phishing malware. Just in the last month 54 apps infected with botnet malware infected a quarter of a million Android users before Google finally took them down from the Marketplace.
Other examples include:
- the Geinimi botnet app that is infecting numerous Android apps on Chinese app stores and spreading around the world.
- Trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.FakePlayer.a, the Russian "Movie player" app that surreptitiously sent premium SMS texts from unsuspecting users
- Mobile Spy and Mobile Stealth apps
- SMS Message Spy Pro and SMS Message Spy Lite spyware apps
- Brand new HTC Magic phones infected with the Mariposa botnet and Conficker and a Lineage password-stealing Trojan that attempt to infect Windows PCs when connected over USB.
In contrast, despite hosting getting towards half a million apps and over 13 billion downloads, there have been Zero pieces of malicious software come through the iOS App Store. A 100% safety record. Not bad, and good reassurance for a public tired of virus-riddled PCs.The difference between spam on Android vs iOS is exactly like the difference between having 50% of your email clogged with spam compared to having a pro-active intelligent ISP spam filter getting it down close to zero for the end-user. What do you expect from a Marketplace that doesn't check what gets posted? This is not rocket science.
Martin, I think your argument is moot aswell.
First off games… if you really like games I'm sure you have a gaming machine at home I have a few the only reason most ppl would play games on there phone is to kill time. That being said yes ios has great games but so does android. And with android you can download emulators for systems lime gamebay, supernes, new, PlayStation and many more allowing one to play thousands of games on their android that you cannot on ios. Also you have phones like Sony's experia that are made for mobile gaming with a built in controller, iPhones will never have that.
Media androids media options are just as good if not better that iPhone and iTunes.
Peripherals, look at Motorolas accessories and let me know that they lake what iPhone has. Ill let you know right now that Motorola has their lapdock that turns your phone into a little laptop and many more accessories that iPhone users can only dream about having.
As for malware and spam, that's something that everyone has to deal with no matter what devises they use. So again I agree with Dr David. Android has one big advantage over iPhone and that's Google's open sores code, enabling anyone to make apps software and hardware for them. Oh yeah as to car hookup. Anycar that has an iPhone hookup built in will also have an auxiliary port and I know that more cars have an auxiliary port than a built in phone hookup. That being said and also mentioning Bluetooth enabled cars/aftermarket radios makes your car pout moot as well. Android phones are great, if someone is unhappy with their iPhone I'm sure they would love switching to android. And androids are just so much more fun to play with and customize. An android phone is like a mini computer, an iPhone is an iPod that makes calls.
Thanks for the heads up on the title snaful. I fixed it.
Also thanks for the great points you make.

Atlanta >Food & Dining > Sambuca Restaurant - Atlanta
3102 Piedmont Rd NE, Atlanta, GA | Directions 3030533.840343 -84.370509
Neighborhoods: Buckhead Village, Northside, Northside
Good food and fun – I love this place! Great for a date night or just hanging out with friends. The food and music are always good. Some of the wait staff could use better training but all in all a great place to go!
Not so Wonderful anymore!! – A few years back i went to Sambuca with a friend and the ambiance, service and food was fabulous!!
A few weeks ago, was a total disappointment and a let down for what I so highly esteem for this Jazz restaurant. The tables were so dimly lit that the waiter who first approached, later to find to was a trainer, unprofessionally pointed his flash light to our faces and asked "Ready to order yet, looked at the menu?" What!! How about.. Welcome to Sambuca my name is blah blah blah, i'm a trainer and the traineee....
So what is the trainee being groomed for???
We should have walked out but decided to stay based on previous experience, but BIG MISTAKE. The wine menu must have diminished over the course of the years because there was only one page for wine by the glass the rest was by the bottle. And they were to charge us for every sample we asked for. Now which upscale restaurant does that!! The crab stuffed salmon i ordered was not crab stuffed but had a crab tasting sauce, only to get a fish taste in my mouth after we left.. Not to mention that our orders were more that $25 and the damn restaurant cannot afford fresh fish.. POOR PERFORMANCE!!!!! Crappy food and service!! The only thing i could enjoy was the live band, which next time I can do that elsewhere!!!!!!!!!!!
I came to celebrate my belated birthday and got very disappointed. You ruined what was supposed to be a memorable night. So No Thanks I will not be coming back
The place is gorgeous!! – I just love the elegance and everything that is offered by Sambucca !! It is one of the best place to chill out with friends...the seat were really good and the music was cool.. the attendants were very courteous too.. Thank!
Not that great. – My party of #9 were seated near the band and we loved the music. It was a little loud but, a great seat. The venu is just the right size. Our waiter was nice and explained to us the "fine print" on the menu.
The "hidden charges" are not told to you and are not called for! We even looked on our parking tickets to find a "tip charge" after we paid on the way in. It seems like they take for granted that you are a "cheap" person when you pull up to the door. The food was bland and not worth the asking price. I have had better food for half the price. I would pay the $5.00 for the music again and skip the food. The food has got to get better for me to go back. It is just not worth it at the end of the day.
Great Ambiance! – The drinks were strong and the music was so great. The minute I walked in I felt at home. The bartender made me laugh and the crowd was eclectic. A perfect date place, I highly recommend it! The women were everywhere, so it might be tough to meet the 'one' there...:)
Don't Walk Run to Sambuca – Sambuca is my spot!! You just never know what celebrity you are going to see on any given night.... I won't name drop but, I did see one of the ladies form The Atlanta Housewives up in there. This will be my ahng out form now until. It is a little pricey but, well worth it....
Now they tell me...... – Just came from that God forsaken place. Do not go, stay away. They charge for everything, it's ridiculous. I have never been hit for a charge for a band. They had a service charge for a party of 15 of us with the gratuity on top of that. This reminded me of one of the restaurants in Atlantis in the Bahamas, you get nickeled and dimed for everything.
The waiter was very condescending and the food was so bland. I ordered a shrimp plate and it was very disappointing. My wife and I paid $115 total and I think McDonald's would have been better. Trust me, do not eat here.
Loved It! – I came to Atlanta for a week-end getaway with my hubby to escape from "Motherhood" Don't get me wrong... I love being a mom however, I need to get away and remember that I am in love with a sweet and lovely man of my dreams!
Sambuca was just the place we needed for a date night! Not only was is beautiful inside, The staff made me fell like a rock star! I loved the fact that the live music was so cool but not to loud that I could talk to my husband and not have to scream.The food and drinks had a fun twist to the norm and I enjoyed all of it down to the dessert that was perfect to share. I live in Nashville and have gone to the one in the Gulch and loved that one to! So I was not surprised to have such a good time at this one in Atlanta ! But like all good restaurants in any city it is always a good idea to call ahead and make reservations at least 48 in advance.I did for our Saturday night dinner and that might be why we had a killer table with a beautiful view of the stage and we were seated as soon as we came in. Keep up the good work Sambuca.
Big Mistake – I took my daughter for getting her great report card. I wish I knew what I know now. When I made reservations 6 hours in advance they only had one time slot available. We were informed that we needed to purchase at least 1 entree per person and there was a $2.50 charge per person for the music. When we arrived we had to pay for the valet upfront (!), had to wait in the hall way for 5 minutes while no one was in the restaurant... The reception was not very friendly and welcoming. Service was ok, but hard selling. No water or bread, unless you want to pay extra. The food was very average. Olive Graden would have been better, except for the good music and the wonderful crowd. When paying the bill, they recommended 18% on the receipt.. (like they do in South Beach and actually add in on!). Like I can't figure it our myself.....All and all not a good experience they won't see me there anymore for a while. Hope my daughter will forgive me......
Best Date NIght! – Where else can you take a date that has great food, live music and kicken' scene? I had no idea they had concerts every Thursday night! I knew there was live music every night but these mini concerts feature some headliners. I took my date to Sambuca and let me tell you this couldn't have been a better date night. We weren't prepared to dance but the music was just too inviting. The food was perfect. We started with the Bucca Beignts and moved on to the Blackened Tilapia Étouffée and Chicken Fried Ribeye. Half way through the meal we switched entrees, yummie! I will for sure take my next date here. For the price the evening was complete.

Irrationality of sqrt(n)
For a math class, advanced calculus, a homework assignment was to show that the √5 is irrational. I took it a step further. I first tried looking a proof for it up on the web, but it I couldn't find any that didn't have serious errors which made the whole attempt invalid. Let me know if you find any errors in this.

"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."

Re: Irrationality of sqrt(n)
looks okay to me...
The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution.

Very good proof. I think it's ok too.

I've heard this mentioned during other games this season that many believe he'll go to the NBA next year. From what we saw tonight I just don't see how any NBA team sees a pro athlete in him. Did he just have a really off night or is he just not that good?
lulz@him being a one and done. Dude needs about 4 more years just for hitting the weights.
Who was that other dude from Bailor who was supposed to be a one and done and we haven't heard from since?
Its size, you can't teach it. Perry Jones III wasn't that great either.
He would be fodder in the NBA unless he gets stronger.
CFH HMagic bball season next year.

He is not that good. Just tall.

Perry Jones Stats, News, Videos, Highlights, Pictures, Bio - Oklahoma City Thunder - ESPN
Averaging 6.7 min per game and 1.7 points per game. Yep, what a pro prospect he was.
He clearly needs to get stronger, but if you think that kid isn't a good player you're crazy. He didn't have a great game tonight, but you just don't see 7'1" with those kinds of skills very often. Most 7' frosh look like they are going to trip over their own feet at any minute. Austin can handle the ball, has good footwork in the post, and has a good looking shot. I think he could definitely use another year in college to get stronger, but he will be an NBA player.
Durant is a stick as well. But Austin for all the hype is no where near the player KD was. He seemed to whine on every call as well.
The dude was 20 and 19 last game. Try watching more then one game before you judge. People who watched just the Iowa vs ISU game would say Clyburn was garbage. Too bad he was killing bears left and right tonight.

If you ask the basketball analysts outside the state of Iowa I think you would be surprised to hear their responses. Iowa was pegged as a preseason top 5 team by one ESPN analyst and is ranked in the vast, vast majority of preseason top 25 polls

couple things
1) He got drafted lower because of knee issues.
2) He plays for OKC, you think he is going to play much on that team?
