BIGBANG International Fan Blog
Sorry for the late post. Enjoy the interview and the additional scans!^^
I heard that you want to use Japanese throughout the interview.
Yes, I will work hard. If there are parts I don't understand, I can ask the translator, right?
Of course.
Ok then. Thank you.
For starters, what kind of person does V.I think he is?
Maybe a lot of people think I am always full of confidence but in reality, this isn't entirely true. I have a fragile heart... very fragile. I don't like showing my weakness to others so I just practice and practice and act confident. Toward my [confident] self, I am sometimes still bothered when other members say, "Why are so proud?"
Do you ever feel scared?
I'm always scared especially before standing on stage. However, when I'm already there on stage and facing the fans, I realize they'll accept me no matter what so my fear disappears. What I'm really scared of are activities on TV shows. Since there will be fans of other idols present too, there will be some who are not familiar with BIGBANG. On those occasions, I try to avoid doing things that will give the group a bad impression. I just remember what I practiced and stand there with confidence. If I don't prepare as well as I should, I might get stage fright and fans will notice that I'm nervous.
Have you always been this careful when you were young?
Well…I am a blood type A person. When I was a kid, I really loved comedies. I tried hard to make my friends in class laugh when I was a student in elementary school and junior high school. So I really thought I was going to be a gagman in the future! (Laughs) However, a dance team came to my junior high school's festival one day and they surprised me. I wanted to be like them so I started taking lessons from this team. I learned from them for about 2 years. At that time, I began to think that I want to be an entertainer and had the idea that being an entertainer is probably as good as being a singer.
How did you come up with this idea?
I don't know. (Laughs) I don't know but I was really serious back then. I wanted to be popular. To be popular, being a singer is the best, I thought. However I was poor at singing. I was only confident in my dancing. I was aware of my poor singing and didn't like karaoke so much. But I really wanted to stand out.
But you needed to sing~
I was at my wits' end. At an audition I was told, "Aren't you unfit to be a singer?" After that, I concentrated on my singing lessons for about a year. I didn't dance at all. Then, I took an audition when I thought I got in a level that I can already sing in front of the audience. This was an audition held by YG Entertainment. The president said to me then, "I can see your future."
How did you feel when you hear this?
I was really happy from the bottom of my heart. So I thought, "Perhaps am I good!? I can be a singer!!" That time I didn't really have confidence so his words really inspired me. However when I got into the office and saw the other BIGBANG members training, I was really shocked. I thought I won't be able to get over it.
Were their levels that high?
Yes...very high. Our members were very good at singing and dancing since that time. I'm not exaggerating. It's true. I felt like I lost in all areas. I was poor at everything. Because of this, I went on practicing and practicing…just practicing.
Still, you didn't give up. What motivated you?
My parents. I'm different from other members because I'm not from Seoul. I'm from Gwangju. Its distance is like Osaka from Tokyo in Japan. It is far from Seoul. Most parents may oppose when their 15 year-old child leaves their hometown to be an entertainer. However, my parents supported me from the start. They said to me "If you leave, do your best." I got encouraged with this words and I went to Seoul. I just can't give up. In addition, the members helped me. G-DRAGON and SOL have taken lessons as trainees for 6 years before I came to the company. Seniors told me of their experiences. Because of them, I just kept on practicing.
You must be happy to have your role models close to you.
Yeah, I think so too. It was good to get a big shock at first. (Laughs) If I had been in a different circumstance, I may not have debuted yet. Actually, I'm still a poor singer.
You are very modest. V.I is now a vocalist getting a lot of attention.
Thank you. However, my sister who is younger than me by 3 years always tell me on the phone. "You are the weakest member of BIGBANG. Try harder." I know that myself but I still get angry at my sister for saying that so I tell her to "shut up!" Then she replies, "You are the weakest!"……and puts down the phone!
Your family is severe on you. (Laughs)
She is cruel but I am doing my best.
When it comes to Japanese ability, you are number 1, aren't you?
I learned to speak Japanese well. With one of the Japanese staff, I go through intensive training everyday for about 2 hours. In addition, I love Japanese dramas and films. For example, Rookies and Crows Zero are my favorites. I study Japanese by imitating their lines. Also, I want to speak Japanese like real Japanese people so I listen to their lines carefully and pay attention to their accent. I just study how to speak Japanese more and more.
So in most events, it was necessary for you to take charge of being the MC.
I was really nervous. I researched on MCs by watching DVDs of various artists. To be frank, the stage in Korea and the stage in Japan are different.
How are they different?
What's different is the content of what we talk about. In Korea, we greet and just say "Are you getting high?" "Let's enjoy!" However, in Japan, fans come to our concert looking forward to listening to our talk. It is a must to have a comedy part and some serious parts. This is why you should always have a plan beforehand. For example, I'll say to audience "Are you ready?" and if the audience are enthusiastic, I ask G-DRAGON beforehand to say to audience "Gentle! Gentle!"
Great! So does V.I decide the flow of talk?
Yes, I'm the director of the MC part. (Laughs) Because I know well what fans want, I think it is my role to tell the members. I want to be the middleman who's in between the fans and BIGBANG. This role is same whether in Korea or in Japan. I'm the only member who updates the blog.
You are like the publicist of BIGBANG.
That sounds right. (Laughs)
The tour was successful especially since you are the MC
I was really happy. It was fun~ Until last year, Japanese fans were shy in my impression. However, this time was wonderful. Like…we enjoyed being together. Not only did we perform on stage and audience was screaming… Ah, how should I say this?
You felt connected, right?
Yes, I think so! Connection! Same feelings on stage and in their seats.
How is the atmosphere in the dressing room before performing?
Of course, we're nervous. SOL often goes to the bathroom. (Laughs) G-Dragon talks to the members and ask their condition. He tells us, "Are you ok? Any problems?" Things like that. He's really worthy to be our leader. I usually observe others' behaviors carefully.
Ah, unexpectedly, the youngest are the cool ones, right? They see older people's success, failure and other things~
Yes. I'm surrounded by older people so I learn a lot from their words and behavior. They taught me a lot of things. At first, I was poor at almost everything but because of their advice, I've changed. Also, the youngest member doesn't just have a cute side but also an adult side, right? (Smiles)
So you're saying that V.I. is more mature than them?
Yes! Definitely!
Definitely? (Laughs)
But my heart is vulnerable.
How is your heart vulnerable, specifically?
I can't get angry that much. Even when I should get angry, I don't express it and just leave it in my head because I am a blood type A. I get away from the stress by driving at high speed. Boom boom boom!
But you don't hide what you want to say, right?
Yes, when it is about BIGBANG, I express my opinion. For example, "I think…" "I think this isn't good" and "I prefer…" I convey my opinions like that in front of the members. The great thing of having G-Dragon as a leader is he draws a conclusion only after listening to the opinions of all the members. So BIGBANG's decisions all comes from all the members' opinions and feelings.
And you run away driving? You are a sad blood type A. (Laughs)
Yes, damn type Bs!!! (Laughs) But of course, our different characters make BIGBANG fascinating. No one is like the other.
V.I is also a university student, right?
Yes, I entered university this year. I feel a sense of fulfillment. Because I have worked since I was a kid, I don't have friends outside the entertainment world. Now, I made some friends at the university who I can understand and be my best friends. I like listening to different people with different values. I learn a lot from them.
I heard that you are studying acting?
Yes. In Korea, singers also act in dramas or movies. When singing, I think acting is also necessary. It is important to convey your feelings about the music to the audience, isn't? Like when I sing a happy song, I have to sing it happily and when I sing a sad song, I have to convey sadness. You can convey what you feel with your facial expressions so I want to learn more about this. I want to try various fields in the future. Also, I want BIGBANG to be loved for a long time like SMAP in Japan and to be known as a solo artist too. I want to have a style like Justin Timberlake and I also want to challenge myself in movies, musicals and in business.
But being greedy makes you work hard.
Maybe. But also, I can do these things because of BIGBANG. BIGBANG is like the joker in my life. I feel freely and that I can be strong... I feel like I can go anywhere and do everything by having it (BIGBANG). The other members make up for what I lack. The other members probably feel the same because we are a team.
Your Japanese ability is already great.
No... I think fans will get more attached to us if I speak Japanese more fluently. But sometimes, I think it may have an opposite effect because it looks like I'm the only one who tries hard in speaking Japanese and this makes the other members look dull. To everyone who read this interview, when you send fan letters, please tell also the other members to "Study more Japanese!"
You said that difference of age doesn't matter at work. (Laughs)
I just think that they will try harder if it is asked by Japanese fans. (Laughs)

2014 Press Releases
Mercy welcomes first baby of 2014
(Durango, Colo.)–The staff at Mercy Regional Medical Center's Family Birth Center recently welcomed Durango's first baby of 2014. Kenzie Rae Miller, daughter of Candace Etcitty and Josh Miller of Pagosa Springs, was born at the hospital at 6:47 p.m. on New Year's Day.
Etcitty and Miller were in Farmington celebrating the holidays with Etcitty's family when she began to feel like the baby might be on the way, so they headed to Mercy in the early afternoon on Wednesday. Little Kenzie arrived later that evening. She weighed 7 lbs. and measured 20½ inches in length when delivered by Certified Nurse Midwife Amy Ginn of Southwest Midwives and Family Birth Center staff nurses.
"It was shocking to have the first baby of the year," said Etcitty. "There were other people here before us, so I guess she stole the race," she joked. In the Mercy Family Birth Center tradition, staff presented the "first family" of 2014 with a gift basket full of baby items, including a hand knitted "2014" cap.
Reflecting of the birthing experience at Mercy, Miller said, "If everyone was as nice as the people here, it would be a more peaceful world."
"Everyone has been so good," added Etcitty.
Etcitty, 25, works at Wolf Creek Gift Shop in Pagosa Springs, and Miller, 27, is a heavy equipment operator. Kenzie is the couple's first child.

For a new kind of sugar rush, we introduce Drizzles.The dense, buttery-soft, hand-molded cookie logs are named for their finishing zigzag of melty glaze. Born from a batch of biscotti gone wrong, Drizzles may be the greatest mistake mother-daughter team Lorrie and Alexys Galek have ever made.Rather than dumping the batch, Alexys dumped nursing school for the pastry program at Kendall College, and with Lorrie's help, Dessertful was born. Sure, they make customized cupcakes for weddings, handmade candies (salted caramels), and bite-size sweets (Scottish shortbread, brownies). But Drizzles are their bread and butter. Using her cravings as inspiration, Alexys creates flavors like taffy apple (laced with juicy Granny Smith chunks and a pinch of cinnamon, topped with caramel drizzle and chopped peanuts), cappuccino chocolate chunk, cranberry orange, and lemoncello.

Telluride Real Estate Corp. Downtown Main Street Office
Real Estate
Jim Nerlin - Vice President/Broker Associate, Telluride Real Estate Corp.
Horse people are passionately in love with their horses. Their lifestyles are different then other people's because so much revolves around their animals......their care and feeding, riding, breeding, and showing. But there are many ways to play and work with horses, from competing to rescuing. Here's a sample of Telluride people and a thumbnail sketch of what their lives are like.
Jim and Peggy Nerlin Peggy Nerlin was not a horse person when she met her husband Jim, 27 years ago. He grew up on a working ranch near Red Lodge, Montana. She was a city girl from Orange County, California. They made a deal that if he would learn to play tennis, she would learn to ride horses.
It's worked out well. Although he can beat her at tennis sometimes, he says she's an excellent rider. They keep three registered quarter horses year-round on their 40 acres in Carstens Ranch, 30 minutes from town. They try to ride at least once a week for two to eight hours. Jim, who is a broker at Telluride Real Estate Corporation, is able to get more riding time by taking his clients out on horse back to look at property. A former team bull rider, Jim keeps connected by competing in team penning in jackpot rodeos in the area. He also helps an outfitter friend at summer and hunting camps.
"We do a lot of high alpine riding into the National Forest," says Peggy. The Nerlin's often take weekend trips with two other couples, camping out with their horses. Peggy is hoping to ride more now with her career change to appraisal work giving her a more flexible schedule.
"Riding horses is such a wonderful way to see the high country," says Jim, above timberline to places that you might never have gotten to otherwise.

I've searched throughout the forums and found some useful information although some mixed reviews with the atom n280. I currently have windows 7 installed on it and would like to dual boot with snow leopard, although I dont own a Mac and can't format a flash. I do have a retail single user copy of snow leopard and a .dmg file of the disc. I heard that transmac software can be used but not how, if this is a big deal I do have access to a Mac Lab at school and may be able to pull it off.
So ultimately my question is has anyone had success with the n280 and dualboot of windows 7? If so which tut (if there is one) did you follow?

The Artharva Veda
Time runs like a horse with seven reins, Thousand-eyed, unageing, possessing much seed. Him the poets mount; His wheels are all beings.
If you see only one temple in Orissa, it should be KONARK, one of India's most visited ancient monuments. Standing imperiously in its compound of lawns and casuarina trees, 35km north of Puri, this majestic pile of oxidizing sandstone is considered to be the apogee of Orissan architecture and one of the finest religious buildings anywhere in the world.
The temple is all the more remarkable for having languished under a huge mound of sand since it fell into neglect around three hundred years ago. Not until the dune and heaps of collapsed masonry were cleared away from the sides, early in the twentieth century, did the full extent of its ambitious design become apparent. In 1924, the Earl of Ronaldshay described the newly revealed temple as "one of the most stupendous buildings in India which rears itself aloft, a pile of overwhelming grandeur even in its decay". A team of seven galloping horses and 24 exquisitely carved wheels found lining the flanks of a raised platform showed that the temple had been conceived in the form of a colossal chariot for the sun god Surya, its presiding deity. Equally sensational was the rediscovery among the ruins of some extraordinary erotic sculpture. Konark, like Khajuraho, is plastered with loving couples locked in ingenious amatory postures drawn from the Kama Sutra – a feature that may well explain the comment made by one of Akbar's emissaries, Abul Fazl, in the sixteenth century: "Even those who are difficult to please," he enthused, "stand astonished at its sight."
Apart from the temple, a small museum and a fishing beach, Konark village has little going for it. Sundays and public holidays are particularly busy here: aim to stay until sunset after most of the tour groups have left, when the rich evening light works wonders on the natural colours in the khondalite sandstone.
Brief history
Inscription plates attribute the founding of the temple to the thirteenth-century Ganga monarch Narasimhadeva, who may have built it to commemorate his military successes against the Muslim invaders. Local legend attributes its aura of power to the two very powerful magnets said to have been built into the tower, with the poles placed in such a way that the idol was suspended in mid-air.
The temple's 70m tower became a landmark for European mariners sailing off the shallow Orissan coast, who knew it as the "Black Pagoda", and the frequent incidence of shipping disasters along the coast was blamed on the effect of the aforesaid magnets on the tidal pattern. The tower also proved to be an obvious target for raids on the region. In the fifteenth century, Konark was sacked by the Yavana army, causing sufficient damage to allow the elements to get a foothold. As the sea receded, sand slowly engulfed the building and salty breezes set to work on the spongy khondalite, eroding the exposed surfaces and weakening the superstructure. By the end of the nineteenth century, the tower had disintegrated completely, and the porch lay buried up to its waist, prompting one art historian of the day to describe it as "an enormous mass of stones studded with a few peepal trees here and there".
Restoration only really began in earnest in 1901, when British archeologists set about unearthing the immaculately preserved hidden sections of the building and salvaging what they could from the rest of the rubble. Finally, trees were planted to shelter the compound from the corrosive winds, and a museum opened to house what sculpture was not shipped off to Delhi, Calcutta and London.Read More
Odissi dance
Odissi dance
Even visitors who don't normally enjoy classical dance cannot fail to be seduced by the elegance and poise of Orissa's own regional style, Odissi. Friezes in the Rani Gumpha at Udaigiri attest to the popularity of dance in the Orissan courts as far back as the second century BC. By the time the region's Hindu "golden age" was in full swing, it had become an integral part of religious ritual, with purpose-built dance halls, or nata mandapas, being added to existing temples and corps of dancing girls employed to perform in them. Devadasis, literally "wives of the god", were handed over by their parents at an early age and symbolically "married" to the deity. They were trained to read, sing and dance and, as one disapproving early nineteenth-century chronicler put it, to "make public traffic of their charms" with male visitors to the temple. Gradually, ritual intercourse (a legacy of the Tantric influence on medieval Hinduism) degenerated into pure prostitution, and dance, formerly an act of worship, grew to become little more than a form of commercial entertainment. By the colonial era, Odissi was all but lost.
Its resurgence followed the rediscovery in the 1950s of the Abhinaya Chandrika, a fifteenth-century manual on classical Orissan dance. Like Bharatanatyam, India's most popular dance style, Odissi has its own highly complex language of poses and steps. Based on the tribhanga "hip-shot" stance, movements of the body, hands and eyes convey specific emotions and enact episodes from well-known religious texts – most commonly the Gita Govinda (the Krishna story). Using the Abhinaya and temple sculpture, dancers and choreographers were able to reconstruct this grammar into a coherent form and within a decade Odissi was a thriving performance art once again. Today, ironically, dance lessons with a reputed guru have become de rigueur for the young daughters of Orissa's middle classes.
Unfortunately, catching a live performance is a matter of being in the right place at the right time. The only regular recitals take place in the Jagannath temple. If, however, you're not a Hindu, the annual festival of dance at Konark, in the first week of December, is your best chance of seeing Orissa's top performers. If you're keen to learn, a number of dance academies in Bhubaneswar run courses for beginners.

Barca focused on football
Barcelona will turn their attentions back to matters on the pitch when they meet Real Valladolid in the Primera Division with manager Tito Vilanova their driving force.
The season could not have been going smoother, with Barca nine points clear of Atletico Madrid and 13 ahead of great rivals Real Madrid, whose manager, Jose Mourinho, has already conceded his side's hopes of retaining their title are over.
But this week brought the shocking news that Vilanova's cancer has returned and he underwent a second operation on his parotid gland.
The 44-year-old, who also had a tumour removed from his throat in November last year, will now start six weeks of chemotherapy and assistant Jordi Roura has taken temporary charge of the team.
Coincidentally, this week also saw the return to training of full-back Eric Abidal nine months after a liver transplant necessitated by his own cancer battle.
The Frenchman's recovery has been a hugely welcome boost for Barcelona's players, and captain Carles Puyol said: ``You're never prepared to hear news like this, but Abidal's example gives the team strength and I'm sure Tito's case will do the same.
``It's not just an example to us but to the man in the street, proving that if you fight hard, everything will be fine.
``The best way to support him (Vilanova) is to keep moving forward. It is a severe blow but we must get up and keep on playing. This team has always done that and will do so again.''
No date has yet been put on a return for Abidal but sporting vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu revealed a new contract is on the table.
He told Marca: ``The renewal of Abidal's contract is drafted and, when he plays in his first game, he will sign.''
Mid-table Valladolid have acquitted themselves well on their return to the top flight and sit comfortably in midtable.
One player especially keen to make his mark against Barca will be defender Marc Valiente, who joined the Catalan club at the age of 10 and spent a decade there.
He captained sides featuring the likes of Lionel Messi but was unable to break into the first team and left for Sevilla in 2008 before joining Valladolid in the summer of 2010.
He told Barca TV: ``Playing against Barca reminds me of things, they taught me to play football and educated me as a person, but now (Valladolid coach Miroslav) Djukic has instilled in us our own philosophy.''
Valiente, meanwhile, sent his best wishes to Vilanova, saying: ``I hope he recovers soon. These things put football in the background and hopefully he can come back.''

Emily Blunt2 of 8
By Natasha Burton
We love a gal who loves herself, and this recently-wedded actress told British Elle that she is not a fan of the Photoshop: "I don't like it when they stretch you out and make you all long and skinny. It makes you look like a Barbie. Who the hell looks like that?" We sure don't, Em!
Angela Burt Murray3 of 8
Another woman speaking her mind is this Essence editor. In response to the recent uproar that an African-American magazine hired a Caucasian fashion director, Angela commented that Elianna Places was hired because of her "creativity, vision, [and] the positive reader response to her work." She said she'd rather people respond to real issues within her magazine, like the rise of HIV among African-American women, not whom she hires.
Sophia Bush4 of 8
The One Tree Hill actress recently spoke out against retailer Urban Outfitters, specifically a t-shirt they sell reading "Eat Less." She said in an open letter: "To promote starvation? To promote anorexia, which leads to heart disease, bone density loss and a slew of other health problems, not least of all psychological issues that never go away? Shame on you. I will no longer be shopping at your stores."
Gloria Allred5 of 8
This civil rights attorney is doing a boycott as well … of the eating variety. She recently said that she is going on a food fast, ending on August 19 (the 90th anniversary of the 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote) in order to raise awareness for passing the Equal Rights Amendment.
Janice Dickinson6 of 8
Okay, so we know this former supermodel can be a little wacky, but we dig her "do as I say, not as I do" parenting style. While Janice doesn't deny her extensive cosmetic procedures, when it comes to her 16-year old daughter, she says "the answer to surgery is no. People say nasty things about me but I'm the most protective mum on the planet."
Shirley Sherrod7 of 8
After a taken-out-of-context video of the Georgia State Director of Rural Development for the USDA forced her resignation, Shirley is exercising her legal rights and plans to sue Andrew Breitbart, the blogger who released the clip. We admire a woman who will not only stand up for herself, but will also make an example of those who try to manipulate the truth.
Sara Gilbert8 of 8
The Rosanne actress gets our nod of approval this week for staying true to — and proud of — who she is. Sara will be open about her sexuality for the first time on her new show The Talk, saying, "I am who I am, and when topics come up that are appropriate, I'll talk about them and share when it seems right."

DENVER — Patrick Roy's Hall of Fame goaltending career was built on athleticism and unceasing passion. He appears to have carried that fire over to his coaching career, which began Wednesday with a 6-1 rout of the Ducks and a confrontation with Ducks Coach Bruce Boudreau at the glass that separated their benches at the Pepsi Center following the season-opening game for both teams.
Roy claimed he was angry over a hit Ducks defenseman Ben Lovejoy had leveled against Nathan MacKinnon, the skillful forward the Avalanche chose first overall in June's entry draft. MacKinnon, 18, had two clever assists on Jamie McGinn goals in his NHL debut. "I don't think this league needs that type of cheap shot," Roy said.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Boudreau contended that Lovejoy had merely tripped MacKinnon and the real problem was that Roy had yelled at Ducks players throughout the game. "Bush league," Boudreau said.
BOX SCORE: Colorado 6, Ducks 1
Boudreau and his players also were incensed that Roy put out heavyweights Cody McLeod and Patrick Bordeleau for the final seconds.
"He put their big guys at the end. Probably to make a big show out of it. But not surprised," Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin said.
It bubbled over in a shouting match at the end, in which Roy pushed at and nearly knocked over the partition between the benches before relative sanity was restored. Roy received a game misconduct penalty.
"There was no need for it. They got the game won. Just pull your players off and show a little class," Boudreau said.
"He's going to be in for a long year if he's going to yell at every player and yell at the refs every stoppage in play. It's just not the way the game is played."
Then again, the way the Ducks' defense performed Wednesday isn't the way the game should be played, either.
Beauchemin's intercepted pass led to a successful breakaway by Ryan O'Reilly at 15:39 of the first period, but the Ducks weren't out of it until Colorado scored three in the middle period against a near-helpless Viktor Fasth.
The Ducks took 36 shots at Semyon Varlamov but were frustrated until Jakob Silfverberg got one past Varlamov at 19:53 of the third period. Corey Perry had one shot on goal; the same was true for Ryan Getzlaf, who was dismissed with a five-minute fighting penalty after a scrap with Steve Downie that Getzlaf said was in defense of a roughed-up Lovejoy.
"We didn't compete the way we wanted to. We stopped moving our feet a little bit," Getzlaf said. "When you've got a skating team like that and kind of stand still a little bit they catch you flat-footed. That's something that we're going to have to look at, and look at moving the puck a little bit quicker out of our zone and getting going."
The Ducks' defense figured to be thin early in the season while Sheldon Souray recovers from wrist surgery and Luca Sbisa recovers from an ankle injury, but this was close to utter disarray.
"A lot of breakdowns in the D zone," Beauchemin said. "A lot of odd-man rushes that shouldn't happen and second chances, rebounds and stuff. Those pucks, we've got to get."
The Avalanche converted two of five power plays, while the Ducks were 0 for 2.
Boudreau made a healthy scratch of left wing Dustin Penner, whom the Ducks had signed in hopes he'd rediscover his scoring touch alongside Getzlaf and Perry, his linemates on the Ducks' 2007 Stanley Cup championship team. Boudreau said the Ducks are "counting on Dustin to be a big part of this club" but felt they had to reward players like Patrick Maroon for having a better training camp.
In the end, it didn't matter that Penner didn't play. The problem was that the players they did have in the lineup didn't come to play.
"We didn't have the pushback that you'd like to have," Boudreau said. "You want them to score a goal and you to be so mad and you go in there and dominate the next five minutes, and we were in a 'Woe is me' type thing. Those are things that you can't do."

"I gave it to my sister as a birthday gift. I created a black and white, altered picture of her with a well known actor at a beach scene. It was too funny and somewhat "believable." She loved it so much that she brought it to work. She got a lot of compliments and laughter. The easel art style completed the whole look of the gift. Thank you."
"I was very impressed with the look of the piece; I had never seen one before so I had no idea what to expect. It looks like a glass plate. Like someone said either, it would be interesting to see it in a matte finish but the glossy definitely makes it a standout piece - high end art!"
"the quality of the printing was perfect.. i originally was going to purchase a canvas printed photo but this was too good of a deal to miss and i liked that they had some smaller sizes.. perfect lil' gift for that special someone."
"Save yourself time in trying to pick out a frame that the person you're buying for would like. This easel photo frame is all about showcasing the picture. The quality is great! Had one made last year for my hubby with pictures of the kids, and he loved it much better than a picture frame."
"I used this to put together a collage of photos for a father's day vacation. It came out beautiful and is great quality. I have it proudly displayed in my office."

The undergraduate core curriculum at Marywood University contributes to the University's mission and goals. Its central focus is to provide a foundation for "living responsibly in a diverse and interdependent world," a central goal of the University's Mission Statement. In offering this curricular experience, the University fulfills its historic mission as a Catholic university and affirms its commitment to the liberal arts tradition.
The core curriculum thus helps students think critically, examine values carefully, and act responsibly; it challenges students to engage in civic responsibility in terms of social justice, unmet human needs, and empowerment of others; and it provides a context within which students can realize meaningful personal and professional lives.
To create an environment in which students can develop into fully human persons, Marywood University integrates professional programs with a general education curriculum composed of a strong liberal arts core, general electives and competencies. Each component contributes an essential perspective to the central focus of the curriculum.
The liberal arts core is organized into six categories:
Category I, "Living Responsibly in an Interdependent World" and English 160, Compostion and Rhetoric. The first year experience includes UNIV 100, The New Student Seminar. The New Student Seminar is intended to promote a positive adjustment and assimilation into the University, and to introduce students to the University's life, culture, mission, history, and traditions. Composition and Rhetoric (English 160) helps prepare students for collegelevel, processbased academic writing. While teaching students to write well in various contexts is an ongoing process, ENGL 160 lays strong foundations for argumentative and inquirebased writing by increasing rhetorical awareness and analytical skills. Through guided practice, students gain experience in using research to join ongoing academic conversations.
In Category II, The Human Condition in Its Ultimate Relationships, students examine the nature, purpose, and meaning of life through philosophical and religious lenses that help them to evaluate their own life position and choices. They develop their critical thinking skills, explore the religious dimension of life, and experience the free and responsible pursuit of truth, as they examine the ultimate questions that have always engaged human beings. Studies in this category supply students with a theoretical basis and a cognitive process for making ethical decisions in promoting justice, peace, and compassion in the contemporary world.
Category III, The Human Condition in the Context of the Physical Universe, is vital for fulfilling the central focus of the core. Many urgent concerns of the interdependent world are scientifically and technologically based and require knowledge and analytical skills for effective response. This Category promotes an appreciation of the natural sciences, but also an awareness of our dependence upon nature and a sense of stewardship in fostering the earth's resources.
Category IV, The Human Condition in Relation to Self and Social Structure, likewise provides students essential preparation for living responsibly in an interdependent world.
The Social Sciences – including Psychology, Economics, Sociology, Political Sciene, Anthropology, and Criminology, among others – provide students opportunities to understand more fully the complex relations between individuals and the social order in which they find themselves.
Courses in Category V, The Human Condition in its Cultural Context, heighten students' sensitivity to human concerns and to the challenges and delights shared by persons of diverse cultures and historical periods. They foster aesthetic appreciation and the ability to communicate effectively within and outside one's own cultural group. They provide access to understanding of our partners in interdependence.
Category VI, The Human Condition in its Historical Context, provides historical contexts that enable students to think more critically and creatively about the diverse and interdependent world in which they live. Knowledge of past and contemporary societies promotes recognition of the radical interdependence of human beings and helps students respond to contemporary challenges with wellinformed effectiveness.
The total undergraduate curriculum promotes lifelong independent learning and fosters the development of creative and responsive leadership in personal and professional life. It is hoped that, as a result of their studies, students will be able to fulfill the mission of the University, learning to live responsibly in this interdependent world.
As a result of their courses in the core curriculum, students will be able to:

High school students: Earn college credit in the Great Smoky Mountains!
The second annual Great Smokies Experience will take place from Friday, July 18 to Sunday, July 27, 2014
The Great Smokies Experience is a one-of-a-kind, credit-bearing, college class experience for high school students entering their junior and senior years. Created and administered by professional educators from Maryville College, The Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont, and the Mountain Challenge Program, this is a week-and-a-half long program where you will experience the great outdoors through hands-on experience and getting up close and personal with nature.
Learn more about last year's pilot version of the Great Smokies Experience by visiting our blog and news site at Greatsmokiesexperience.com.
Participants who successfully complete this program will earn credit for a three-hour Introduction to Environmental Issues (ENV 101) class from Maryville College, a high quality, student-friendly liberal arts college with a family-like environment, just a short drive away from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Students will spend most of this class living and camping at the Tremont Institute in the national park, and the remaining time living on campus at Maryville College. Although the Great Smokies National Park is the cornerstone of this experience, students will also take trips to parts of the Cherokee National Forest, the Maryville College Woods, to a TVA hydroelectric dam, and other significant sites. This comparative focus will allow students to reflect on different natural resource management philosophies and their consequences.
Program dates, costs and deadlines
The second annual Great Smokies Experience will take place from Friday, July 18 to Sunday, July 27, 2014. The total cost of this program will be $1,495, which includes room, food, and all other student expenses during the class including transportation between Maryville College, Tremont, and other sites.
Students in Tennessee can apply for a $300.00 Dual Enrollment Grant to partially offset the cost of the program. The deadline for this scholarship is May 1. Other states may also offer dual enrollment assistance; check with your high school or your state's board of education.
The deadline to apply to the Great Smokies Experience is Friday, May 30, 2014. Since space is limited to twenty students, earlier applicants are more likely to reserve a spot in the class.
Please email Dr. Doug Sofer, Coordinator of the Great Smokies Experience, at firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to learn more about this exciting opportunity or if you have other questions whatsoever.
We can't wait to hear from you!
-- The Great Smokies Experience Team

At its regular meeting the Weaver City Council approved by a 4-1 vote an economic incentive for Discount Foods as the business prepares to open in downtown Weaver. The incentive, intended for remodeling purposes, will pay the company $100,000 over five years.
"This project is going to require significant investment," said Weaver Mayor Wayne Willis on the cost of getting the building, vacated in 2005, up to code. Willis said the money would include a complete remodeling of the building's interior and the construction of a new parking lot. The first payment for the incentive will come in October 2014.
Councilman Mike Warren opposed the incentive and said it gave Discount Foods an unfair advantage over existing businesses in the city.
"Some of the money we're giving them comes from money we're getting from businesses that came here without any incentive," Warren said. "I don't think we're in a place where we can afford that."
Warren added that Weaver cannot afford to give the same incentive to other potential businesses.
Willis said sitting back and hoping for business to relocate to the city represents an "old school" approach to government, and he said the Weaver council needs to be "aggressive in recruiting" new businesses for economic growth.
The council on Tuesday also approved the construction of two welcome signs at either end of the city limits on the Chief Ladiga bicycle trail.
"We're always trying to make people more aware of Weaver," said Councilwoman Ellen Cole. "I always thought the trail was an asset we haven't tapped into."
Cole said the signs would resemble a similar double-sided sign on the Alabama-Georgia line, with one side welcoming bike riders to the Silver Comet Trail in Georgia and the other welcoming riders to the Chief Ladiga Trail in Alabama. Weaver Building Inspector Mike Howard approved the blueprints for the sign, which will feature brick columns 2 feet off the trail and an aluminum arch with vinyl lettering. The double-sided signs will be placed at city borders between Anniston and Jacksonville, welcoming riders to all three cities. Willis said he had verbal commitments from Anniston Mayor Vaughn Stewart and Jacksonville Mayor Johnny Smith to help out with the cost of the signs, estimated at $5,000. Willis said he doesn't anticipate any problems in working with the two cities.
In other business, the council:
• Accepted a donation from the Weaver Congregational Methodist Church for $2,000 toward park improvements.
• Approved adding Public Works equipment to a surplus list and selling the items through the website GovDeals.com.
• Announced July 20th as citywide cleanup day.

Mon-Thur 4:30 PM to 11:00 PM
Fri-Sat 4:30 PM to 12:00 AM
Sun 4:30 PM to 10:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Downtown
One of the best happy hours in town. Perfect martinis and love every single appetizer.
THE BEST STEAKS IN TOWN – The best of the Best....I love this place...
The BEST Sea Bass – If you haven't had the Sea Bass at Eddie V's....it is a MUST! So incredible. The service is top-notch!! One of my favorite downtown spots.
Amazing food! – Never had a bad meal at Eddie V's, and the service is usually fabulous too.
Steak was garbage. Not worth money – The steak was dry and not well done like I ordered. I dont know why people come here, it sure as hell isnt for the food.
This was the first and last time I go to this place.
sub par happy hour – Two bartenders couldn't handle service to 5 groups of people that totaled 13 people? Water wasn't refilled. Was asked if I wanted another drink only to wait 15 minutes to get it. Was asked repeatedly what we ordered or if we had ordered. Crab cake tasted like a grocery store brand. Come one, 13 people in the entire bar and 2 bar tenders can't remember if they've asked a customer for an order? For the price you pay, you should get excellent service. We tipped 5% and ended up skipping our dinner reservation there and went to McCormick & Schmicks instead.
Disappointment – My wife and I went to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. It was supposed to be a special night out. We arrived at 7:25 and got our food at 9:30. One hour's wait for a table and a second hour for our food. My lobster (which cost $60) and her Copper River king salmon ($40) were both waaaay overcooked and very dry. As soon as they set the lobster down in front of me, I could smell the metallic smell of iodine. It was so late, we'd waited so long, and we were so trying to have a good time, so we didn't confront them about the quality of the food, though we probably should have (but to what end?). They knew they had taken too long, so they comped us a dessert - but both of them were also almost inedible, and we left most of both on the table when we left. This restaurant was an expensive, big disappointment.
Great Service, Steaks/Seafood – My son who was recently transplanted from Manhattan, suggested Eddie V's on Sat. July 5th. He went on-line Saturday morning and made a 6:00 p.m. reservation for that evening. He had dined there previously and had been impressed. Upon arrival we were escorted to our table, and was told who our server would be . He appeared shortly after and inquired if we had dined there prior. He explained all the specials, and also indicated that certain desserts needed 20 minutes to prepare, and if we wished to order one, now was the time to tell him. He also indicated that the sides were large enough for sharing. We ordered 3 appetizers, all arrived timely, and all were gone within minutes. Shortly thereafter our entrees arrived (filets, rib eye steak, salmon), along with our 4 side dishes. The servers asked us to cut into our steaks for the doneness that we requested. The servers held a small flashlight while we 4 steak eaters inspected our meat. All of which was cooked to perfection. The salmon diner kept saying that it was the best salmon he had ever eaten. Which is a big compliment since he eats salmon 2 to 3 times a week. We had to pass on dessert since we could barely finish our entrees. We found the service and the food to be exceptional and will plan on returning on our next visit. As I had read some previous unfavorable reviews, I kept wondering if this was the same Eddie V's that we had just visited. This is the first time ever that I have left a review on dining, and suggest that you visit this establishment yourself. Also, the wine list was pages, hard to believe that people thought that it wasn't extensive enough. Also, while we were deciding what to order, one of the hostesses brought a bouquet of flowers (card attached) to a nearby booth that was vacant. Shortly thereafter, a couple arrived. Obviously, this was something planned ahead by the very thoughtful husband and carried out by the Eddie V's staff.
Great food, great ambience and impeccable service. – First of all thank you all for your input. Which actually prompted me to pick Eddie Vs. I made a reservation this Saturday for May 10th. There are perks for making reservations which i will tell you at the end. First advantage was it was fully packed but we ddn't wait much long until we were seated( reservation). Everybody was very polite and friendly. I can tell u before you leave, u will remember everybody's name from bartender to waiter. The ambience was the best, someone said it smelled like seafood inside forunately i couldn't smell that fragrance. My waiter was the best, he would explicitly explain what each item would taste like and look like, makes you very comfortable. The best part is when you are in such a place and indulged in conversation u totally forget about food. Needless to say mine arrived on time and with some great fine dining cuisine. I ordered swordfish steak, and my wife ordered red snapper. both tasted exquisite. Mine i felt need some sauce, cuz here was no sauce with the fish and thats why the penalty of 1 star. Other than that no complains. So finally my perk for online reservation, I metioned about our anniversary at the reservation notes and we were gifted with a free dessert for the night. It really ended on a sweet and a happy note. Thank you.

Bend of the River: Man-with-a-past James Stewart guides a band of pioneers from Missouri over the Oregon Trail to a new life in the Columbia River Basin in this Western adventure directed by Anthony Mann. When the settlers are cheated out of their supplies and cattle, Stewart crosses rivers, climbs mountains, and out-guns greedy hijackers to ensure their survival through the first winter. Along the way, he is double-crossed by ally Arthur Kennedy and assisted by handsome San Francisco gambler Rock Hudson and beautiful farmer's daughter Julie Adams. Veteran entertainer Stepin' Fetchit is featured as the riverboat cabin boy.
The Far Country: James Stewart and Walter Brennan are a loner and his sidekick who figure to get rich quick by selling a herd of cattle at a fancy price in this tale set in the wild gold-rush days of Dawson, Yukon Territory. They are soon caught up in conflict with the local, self-appointed lawman, John McIntire, and his claim-jumping henchmen. When Brennan is killed, Stewart is forced to put an end to rampant lawlessness in a guns-blazing climax. Ruth Roman plays a saloon keeper who falls for Stewart. Also stars Steve Brodie, Jack Elam, Jay C. Flippen, Kathleen Freeman, Chubby Johnson, Henry Morgan and Robert Wilke. Anthony Mann directed the film, which was shot on location in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.
Night Passage: When the local railroad becomes the constant target of a band of desperadoes led by the notorious Whitely Harbin (Dan Duryea), train officials recruit soft-spoken but life-hardened employee Grant McLaine (Stewart) to guard the payroll from any more robberies. Trouble is, the gang's most skilled and lethal gunslinger, the Utica Kid (Audie Murphy), is Grant's kid brother. Torn between the bonds of blood and his allegiance to the railroad, Grant finds himself hoping for the best but preparing for the worst as the train comes under attack from Harbin's bandits, climaxing in an unforgettable gun battle as the brothers from opposite sides of the law meet again to settle an old score.
The Rare Breed: Veteran Western director Andrew V. McLaglen puts his brand on this exciting story, based on America's acquisition of English Hereford cattle (which would phase out Texas longhorns). In the 1880s, Englishwoman Martha Price (Maureen O'Hara) and her daughter Hilary (Juliet Mills) come to America to sell their prize Hereford bull at an auction. When he is purchased by Bowen, a wild Scotsman (Brian Keith), the women hire a footloose cowhand named Burnett (James Stewart) to help them transport the animal to its new owner. So begins an adventure that test the mettle of all involved as they battle killers, cattle stampedes - and each other. But when they reach Bowen's ranch, even greater obstacles force them to summon up extraordinary courage if they, and the prize bull, are to survive.

Can Apple maintain its shine?
NEW YORK -- For many investors, Apple's best days are behind it. Competitors are catching up, they believe, and the latest iPhone is stumbling.
The company's doubters have backed their conviction with billions of dollars. Last week, the stock fell below $500 for the first time in 11 months. Since Apple's stock peaked at $705.07 on Sept. 21 -- the day of the iPhone 5's release -- it has fallen nearly 30 percent, cutting Apple's market capitalization by nearly $200 billion.

Nintendo Direct Presentations Going Down Tonight For Japan, US, Europe
By McKinley Noble, Contributing Editor
Posted on June 21, 2012 AT 10:39am
Posted on June 21, 2012 AT 10:39am
Nintendo is taking to the web again to hype their Wii U and Nintendo 3DS libraries, hosting three "Nintendo Direct" presentations headlined by three Nintendo presidents.
More specifically, the Nintendo of America presentation will be hosted by Reggie Fils-Aime who will also be talking about Nintendo DS titles. That likely includes Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2, and a North American release date would be just great to hear.
Here's the start times and locations for each presentation, based on region:
- Nintendo of America — June 21 at 9 p.m. PT / June 22 at 12 a.m. ET
- Nintendo Europe — June 22 at 5 a.m. BST
- Nintendo Japan — June 22 at 12 p.m. (Japanese Standard Time)
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata will once again be hosting the Japan broadcast, while Nintendo president Satoru Shibata will be handling the European presentation. Fingers crossed for new titles!

Hi, my name is Josh. I am currently a westwood college student in game
software development, I am asking if any one would mind taking me under
thier wing and showing my the joys and pains of indie development.
I have some experience in this field ( nothing to show for it ) I have used mainly unity 3d, I also have a lifetime subscription to c4 engine ( to be honest it confuses me ) as well as realm crafter ( I do not like this engine, but I am willing to work with it to learn )
If some one is interested in helping me out that would be wonderful.
I thank you for your time as well as taking the time to read this,

12oz bottle at 41 F poured into a pint glass. Enjoy By 03/15/14 (today is 03/22/14). Bought in Texas, shipped to Washington.
Pours coppery amber, clear, small white head, lots and lots of carbonation. Smell is slight alcohol, mild pine. Some grapefruit rind.
Taste is alcohol tartness, pine bitterness. Some muted sweetness, some grapefruit rind bitterness. Not bad, just a little hot and not terribly interesting.
Mouthfeel is slightly thick, slightly slick. Overall, pretty good.

Every guest I've served this to has loved it. Whether it's a hot afternoon in the back yard, or a watching a football game in December in front of a fireplace, this is a great beer for social occasions. You don't sip and savor - you get a good mouthful and enjoy. A righteous beer, and I always make sure I have some available.

12oz bottle poured into English Pint Glass
A-Amber golden in color with a frothy white one finger head that dissipates into a ring around the glass.
S- Subtle citrus and piney hops overdone by a big malty/bready sweetness.
T- Great balance between the Citrus and Pine hop bitterness and Malty sweetness. Ends with a nice boozy aftertaste that helps contribute to the malty sweetness.
M- Chewy with a crispness that blends into a nice hop pucker which fades into a nice boozy warming sensation.
O- BALANCED. This IIPA is not a Hop Bomb but an excellently crafted balanced brew. A fantastic blend of both citrus/pine hop bitterness and malty/bready sweetness.

12 oz bottle purchased as part of a 4 pack
A: Side poured into a 12 oz taster glass. Initial carbonation blast that quickly settled into a 1/2 inch, slightly off-white head. Color is a slightly reddish golden amber. The beer is just a little hazy. Anticipating something very nice.
S: Initial major hop blast. I am getting hops, citrus, pine. Smells great!
T: Fantastic! Lots of hops up front. Citrus and tropical fruits in the middle. Sweet malt backbone balances it out with a very incredible bitterness on the back end. Extremely well balanced. Barely even a hint of the 10 percent ABV. In my opinion, perfect for this style.
M: Chewy. The hops hit your mouth, loud, crisp and bright. The bitterness makes you pucker for more. Only a slight warmth on the back of the tongue from the alcohol.
O: Excellent. This is one of the few defining beers of this style which I really love. The hidden ABV is incredibly stealthy. Upon letting the beer warm before I finished the bottle all I can say is WOW! I really do not think that this can be improved. Don't change anything! If you are an IPA fan, you must try this beer. But be careful as you won't notice the alcohol until you feel it. Incredible brewing!!!

Had in a balloon glass from a bottle.
Pours a nice amber color with a one finger head that quickly dissipates to a rim of lacing about the perimeter of the glass. Good blend of hops in the beer aroma. Can clearly sense the Simcoe hops in the mix. Beer is a little on the malty side, but well paired with fruity and bitter hop flavors present.
Overall: This is a solid double IPA that I would recommend to any hop heads.

Taste: much like the nose, which is to say very very good. Intense hops and an equal balance of malt.
Overall: dis is good stuff. To plagiarize from Sammy, it's like a "hop whiskey". Very nice.

A - Pours a clear, deep copper color. The head is creamy and thick, and retains fairly well, leaving thin lacing on the glass. There is a small amount of visible carbonation in the glass.
S - The aroma is a bit disconcerting to me. It is quite overt, but syrupy and heavy smelling. Mostly sweet malts. I don't detect any hop character at all.
T - I see other reviews highlighting hop character, but to me, this is a complete malt bomb. It comes equipped with some hop bitterness, but basically all I get out of this one is a syrupy sweetness. Also quite a bit of booziness to this one, which I do not like. I find this to be quite like Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale.
M - Nice full-bodied feel. Causes me to wish that I liked the flavor a bit more.
O - Glad I only bought a single, because this one is not for me. I drank this bottle well within the enjoy-by date, but really only tasted the malts. If you're into Undercover Shutdown than by all means give this a try. I recognize that many people like that combination.

From my tasting notes: The beer pours a gorgeous orange color with a nice head and loads of hops in the aroma. The first taste gave me a hop attack! There were loads of hops that bombed my palate, in a good way. I was impressed. As it warmed the sweet malt began to come through which gave the Leviathan a nicely balanced profile. This was definitely an Imperial IPA and a great beer from Harpoon.

Golden amber color with a one finger white head.
Aroma is of sweet malts and hops with caramel and toffee notes.
Not super carbonated and gets batter as it warms up.
Flavor is very malty and sweet just a little bitter.
I don't pick up much citrus at all but it is piney on the back end.
It's a tad boozy but it is high in abv.
I would drink it again but I'm not into the big malty ipas.

This is a great beer. Poured a darker golden with only a finger of head at the most had decent lacing all the way down. Smelled similar to other ipas with a less hop forward aroma. The booze was very well hidden for the strength and the mouth feel was amazing extremely smooth beer.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle dated Best By 10/15/13. Sampled on August 5, 2013.
It pours an attractive looking golden amber-copper with agitated carbonation leading up to a long-lasting off-white head. Great clarity.
The aroma is floral and sweet. The sweetness is akin to caramel and toffee and the ops more like a garden party.
The body is full and actually rather creamy.
The taste begins very sweet and almost fruity but it does not take long for the hops to flex their muscles and roar in from the backside ending highly bitter and dry. Alcohol is well-integrated. What I found interesting is that it was much sweeter when I started than when I ended. The hop bitterness seems to evolve with each sip.

L: Extremelly clear gold/amber with a thin soapy head. Modest lacing.
A: Big pine and tropical candy hop notes, with a pretty boozy alcohol hit as well. Sweet malt accentuates the candy hop notes.
T/M: Big, smooth bitterness upfront, followed by a big juicy hop character with notes of pine and tropical fruit, and some sweetish candy-like malt balancing it out. Fairly boozy as well, perhaps because of the big malt character, or maybe their yeast strain. Nothing very off-putting, this thing is smooth and goes down easy.
Overall, a nice DIPA, very tasty and cured the hell out of my hop fix. A must try if you like that juicy fruit hop character.

The beer comes in a orange amber color, lots of caramel malt in this.
The aroma has tons of citrus hops, pine, and lots of caramel sweetness. Very bready and that stands out.
The flavor follows, but a bit lighter. It has a pop of grapefruit and orange, and then piney and spicy hops. Then the caramel malt rolls in gently with some big flavors and a bit of alcohol in the back. Lots of bitterness that lingers as well.
It's a very big DIPA. It's pretty well made and for those who are into huge beers.

Enjoyed this beer on tap at LURES in Maryland
A: Pours a light yellow hue with a white head that slowly dissipates in to a wispy lace.

Poured from 12 oz bottle into tulip glass.
A: Pours a nice golden coppery color. Crystal clear with small one finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly. Almost no lacing to speak of.
S: Fruity hops mixed with sweet malts. Pineapple, mango, bread, caramel.
T: Juicy fruit flavors with some bitterness from the hops mixed with sweetness from malts. A bit boozy but in a good way.
M: Full bodied and coats the tongue nicely. Lacks a bit in carbonation.
O: A very nice DIPA. My favorite of the Harpoon IPA choices.

This is my first review on here (hopefully of many) and I'm honored to start off with this amazing beer!
Serving type: 12oz bottle, bought from a grocery store in Texas, and poured into a Sam Adams pint glass (would prefer a tulip, but I'm on vacation and had to improvise).
A: A deep golden orange. Very clear and crisp. Had about 1/2 inch head that slowly reduced to less than half a fingernail... No lacing.
S: Hops! Smells like I opened a bag of cascade pellets and took a good whiff! Fades away to a sweet, dare I say boozy aroma. Beautiful!
T: OH BABY! Hops quickly fade to a sweet, malty, boozy background while the hops still play a role! Less hoppy, more boozy as it warms. Reminds me of Avery's Maharaja (my 2nd favorite IPA until I tried this!)... But better!
M: Sticky, heavier bodied, slightly chewy. Probably my least favorite part of the experience, but that's being knit picky at this point... This beer is AMAZING!!!
O: This isn't the first glass of this I've ever happened... That honor goes to the 10oz pour I bought at the Harpoon Taphouse in Boston a few weeks ago (I got the Sam Adams glass from their brewery earlier that day!)... It cost $8 for the 10oz... I muttered to myself "this better be one of the best beers I've ever had"... Took my sip... And thought the same thing Barney Gumbo thought after paying $50 for a beer and drinking it... "You got lucky!" This is better than Maharaja, but doesn't eclipse my absolute favorite IPA (and beer overall), Pliny the Younger... But seeing as that's impossible to get 50 weeks out of the year, this will do! AWESOME BEER!!!

Pours copper with perfect clarity. A finger of foam that doesn't last to a thin ring and skin on top. Fair retention and pretty good lace. It's rather pretty actually because of the orange glow in the color. Nose is grand. Delectable malt! Caramel, biscuit, nuts. Fruity tropical hops, pineapple, mango, grass, sweet pine and an all over earthy scent. The malt opens up as it warms with lots of bread and a graceful honey sweetness. Taste is superb. Tropical fruits with a touch of floral, fat malt character. Bread and biscuit, nuts, and honey. Pale and caramel malt abounds in the taste. Smooth and very drinkable. The hops leave a nice oil and bitter leading into the finish. There is a touch of alcohol on the palate before a nice dry aftertaste and a full on hop bitter that coats the throat with just a touch of sweetness underneath.
What a surprise this was. A real malt treasure of an Imperial IPA. Graceful, drinkable, delicious, fruity, gentle and fat. Has many tea like qualities that make it very attractive to the palate. It has everything an IPA should have in the way of hop grandeur and bitter and everything favorable from it's malt character. Cheerful and loaded with colossal malt.

My apologies for the departure from form. Just conveying instant observations--not going for a full tasting.
Nice pour, head was gone before it left the counter (at the brewery's own beer hall). Starts out piney with green notes reminiscent of Japanese green teas, but quickly yields to fruitiness (roasted plum and burnt orange) and medium malty sweetness. Barely noticeable yeast note. Lingering finish, more complex malt flavors coming out. Not a lot of bitterness in the aftertaste, but hops remain throughout (which one would expect from a decent five-hops blend). Alcohol not pronounced which also resulted in mineral-water mouthfeel (hence the downgrade), along with all the hops and malt notes. Medium body, low carbonation. Although none of the flavors were overpowering, all subsequent beers tasted watery (even those I know not to be so). So if you make it a night with Leviathan, don't expect to be able to cheat with Belgian Blonde or a Summer Wheat. Would pair well with gourmet pizza, grilled pork chop, mild curry or a chocolate-heavy dessert, but would not work with pasta or any delicate cream-based sauces or desserts. Tastes better warm, of course!

Bottle from Total Wine in Tampa. Enjoy by July 15.
A - Pours a nice dark golden colour, bright, with light-medium carbonation. Two finger fluffy off white head on top. Spotty lace and a film of retention.
S - Juicy pineapple. Lot's of citrus, some booze, and a nice fruity malt note.
T - Sweet peach or mango up front with pineapple again and pine. Good maltiness for balance. A little spice and booze too.
M - Lot's of appropriate bitterness in the finish. Decent carbonation a full body. Finish has a spicy hop bitterness too.
O/D - A good DIPA. Doesn't stand out in many ways, but seems to nail the stylistic requirements properly. Alcohol definitely makes itself known, but hardly offends.

O - will buy again

I can't state enough how much I adore this ale. As DIPA's come, this is the best I have had as of yet. The 10% ABV is extremely well worked in with the hoppiness and the well executed maltiness. This has definitely become one of my go to picks alongside of the ever present Torpedoes. I would definitely recommend and will buy, buy, buy again! The only DIPA that I have had to date that compares to this is is the Alchemy Hour DIPA from Great Lakes Brewery (pending name change). To me, being able to pull off a 10% ABV without the end product being too boozy is an accomplishment unto itself, unlike the Majarajah from Avery I have also reviewed. This will always have a space in my fridge, always!

12 oz. bottle, with smeared best by date reading 05/15/2013. Nothing too much to preface, I've had this beer before, and I've been less than impressed with the regular Harpoon IPA. Poured into a Firestone Walker pint glass.
A - Pours about one finger of off-white fizzy bubbly head, which is more than can be said for the regular Harpoon IPA. Same typical clear copper colored body, if maybe just a shade darker. Virtually no lacing on the glass.
S - Strong dominant citrus and pine hops coming in strong on the nose with this one. Some grapefruit / mango. Smells more like hop extracts than it does a genuine hop aroma, almost reminding me of a Lagunitas Hop Stoopid. Bit of a sweet tea leaf type malt finish. We'll see what aromas arise when the beer begins to warm. Warmth brings out some bready biscuit malt.
T - A bitter hoppy beer, but not as intense as some other imperial / double IPA's I have had in the past, especially for one that is packing a 10.00% abv. Bit of bitter hop spiciness in the finish, but nothing too overpowering. Like it's contemporary beer, the Harpoon IPA, this beer is more malt forward than it is a full on hop bomb, like many imperial IPA's.
M - Smooth, clean, and malty. Some resinous hop bitterness lingering.
Overall, hides it's 10.00% abv deceptively well; you would never know this beer was packing such a high abv by the taste. Very mild hop burn, but well balanced with a strong malt forward profile. Personally, it is not a beer I'd be interested in trying again. I would however give other beers in the Harpoon Leviathan series a shot, although this has been the only one I've seen so far. A serious fan of IPA's should give it a shot, though.
Harpoon Leviathan Imperial IPA ---3.5/5

A - Pours dark gold with a two finher white head. Left a good amount of lacing.
S - Some pineapple, however it is dominated completely by malt.
T - Yep, this is a malt bomb through and through. Extremely bitter as well.
M - Medium bodied with heavy carbonation.
O - Overall, it reminded me of a Hop Rocket, which sucked badly.
