Very pleasant beer with a very unique taste. Surprised me in several ways.
A-carmel brown, very clear. Nice lacing, but little carbonation.
S-light, but beautiful, nose. Fruity and sparkly in aroma.
T-unique. Dry and crisp. Hops linger on your tongue.
M-again, pretty dry, especially in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel of an IPA.
Great collaborative between two great small brewers. I could drink it everyday and not get tired of it for a long while.

My first growler from Half Acre is a winner. It has distinct and all-in hops. It's unapologetic in flavor and stays with you long after each sip. It tastes home-brewed and and is addicting in that each taste varies from fruity to hoppy to bitter to dusty. For me, that artisanal quality is what makes a beer a 5.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
A: Lovely shade of copper-gold. Clear. Forms a fluffy white head that sits upon the beer before gradually falling to a thin ring around the edge. Leaves a good bit of lacing on the way down.
S: Toast, autumn leaves, grapefruit, and some yeasty esters.
T: Starts of toasty and dry, with a flavor similar to brown rice. Turns the slightest bit citrusy, before becoming rather earthy and autumnal with a slight taste of plastic. Finishes is crisp, with notes of green apple.
M: Lighter bodied. Appropriate carbonation. Dry. Mild bitterness.
O: Not much of a wet hopped beer when the hops barely show up. And supposedly this uses Citra, a hop I've brewed with myself, and I'm just not getting that characteristic Citra juiciness from this beer. From reading the reviews from this year compared to last year, I wonder if something has changed, since I am simply not picking up on any of the citrus qualities that the reviewers last year continually mentioned.

Pale golden color and crystal clear. There's a ton of bubbling activity yet the head is whispy and thin.
The kolsch yeast strain really dominates the nose. It's grainy and grassy with muted citrus.
This is more if a slightly hoppy kolsch than an APA. I'm a little disappointed the citra doesn't dominate. There's light orange peel then a lot of grass. The finish is buttery.
Mouthfeel is clean with active carbonation.
I'm a bit disappointed in this one. As I said before, the yeast makes this more kolsch than anything else.

Served in a shaker pint glass at Fountainhead.
Double-dippin' the Half Acre pales at Fountainhead today. This one pours a clear pale straw topped by a finger of lightly off-white foam. The nose comprises lettuce, light grapefruit zest, and very light toffee. The taste brings in more of the same, but with more lettuce and some stronger toffee. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a sorta/kinda dry finish. Overall, an okay pale, but one that seems to miss out on all that Citra goodness I've tasted elsewhere. Maybe this keg was a tad old? Regardless, it's drinkable, but nothing to be impressed by.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
A: Very clear golden color and a whittish head that holds nice clumps of foam.
S: Faint floral note and subtle spicy hop..
T: Dank, sticky fresh hop burst and a smooth finish and dry malt with a tangy note on the back of the tongue. Like the nose there is a floral quality that is nicely accented. Some tangy grapefruit appears as this warms.
Mouthfeel: Light carbonation and medium mouthfeel bring a smoothness and a very crisp finish from the Kolsch yeast that has a real German beer flavor.
Overall: I am not a huge fan of the Kolsch style but this one is very good. A unique collaboration from Peace and Half Acre.

Poured from a 32oz growler into a wine glass
A: Pours a lightly hazy golden color. There is a one finger, off-white head with decent retention.
S: A good yeasty bread smell from the Kolsch yeast strain. Some floral pine notes and mild caramel in the background.
T: Grassier in flavor than aroma, but it is a good sort of grassy. Floral and dank. Kolsch yeast strain continues to make a notable contribution to the flavor. Some of the tropical flavors associated with Citra are present but subdued. The finish is quick and earthy.
M: Relatively thin. Lowish carbonation.
O: A delicious, easy drinking beer. I could easily throw back a few pints of this and feel good, especially on a warm summer day. Good flavor profile despite its easy drinking nature. Love it.

Had on tap at Piece, served in an imperial pint glass.
A: Pours a clears dark straw with a large fuzzy white head. It subsides to a thick collar and pillow film on top which leaves nice sticky sheets of lace. Looks great.
S: Massive citra hops hit you in the face and wraps around your brain. I love me some citra hops, but this didn't really off anything else besides a residual light piney bitterness and some slight malty notes. But the tropical fruit notes were very nice.
T: The taste was slightly more subdued and complex than the nose which was a huge push in the right direction. Great citrus fruits, oranges and pineapple with a little bitter starfruit in the finish. The Kolsch yeast isn't really noticeable. A malt body does show itself, but it does take a backseat.
M: Light to medium bodied with great carbonation and the drinkability is off the charts. I could drink this all day, every day.
O: A highly drinkable pale ale with citra hops? Sign me up for more please. Not the most complex beer, but very good and as I already stated I could drink this all the time if given the opportunity. Half Acre, bottle this please.

Enjoyed on tap at Piece Pizza this past Sunday.
Appearance – Served in a pint glass. The beer has a slight orange color with some slight white head that dissipates rather quickly leaving slight lacing.
Smell – The guys I am with are not huge beer guys but all agreed they could smell the beer as it was being handed to me (and thought the aromas were nice). Heavy citrus, mainly tropical (tangerine, lemon, and mango). Also, heavy on the floral hops with a hint of earthy pine.
Taste – Spot on to the nose. Massive citrus flavors, a hint of bitterness, a nice floral note comes through midway. There is a slight sweet malty backbone and I get very little of the German yeast used to be honest. Overall, from start to finish it is very citrus and floral.
Mouthfeel – Medium bodied, slightly creamy, decent carbonation, and a crisp finish.
Overall – I really enjoyed this beer. I got three pints of this and wanted to get a growler (but the waitress said they couldn't despite it being a collaboration between Piece and HA?). Anyway, if HA made this in a can or bottle I would pick this up nonstop. A pleasant surprise.

Visited the Half Acre brewery today to pick up some samples and the gentleman working was offering up samples...so I partook in the Mr. Ouroboros and it was very good. The color was a clear rich copper with nice white head. The smell included all the beloved characteristics of the Citric hop...nice citrus and spice. The taste was a brilliant balance of malt and hop. There was a nice spicy citrus balance with decent malt. There was just a slight twang on the aftertaste...but other than that ...NICE JOB!!!! The mouthfeel was perfect....great flavor and not over the top ABV. Overall...outstanding!

Growler fresh from the brewery.
Poured into a 12 oz. wilibecher glass. Thin compact layer of white foam, about the size and shape of a buttermilk biscuit, unbuttered bitch. Bright orange shot through with a light haze, otherwise fairly good clarity. As the glass is drained, a crown of intricate webby lace adheres to the sides. After 10-15 minutes the skim fades to a floating island.
Dried papaya and mango, tropical hop notes front and center. As it sits in the glass it becomes a little more citric and catty.
Kolsch yeast gave it some white grape flavor in the first glass, and subsequent glasses seem to be all citra, if you like that sort of thing. Sorry, but who doesn't? Oh yeah... moving on. Behind that is a bit of pale malt and light rye that dries it out a bit. Clean and dry finish, lingering citrus rind and still a persistent tropical impression minus any sweetness. Light bodied, fairly simple construction, allowing the citra herps to take centerstage, which they do, no derps whatsoever. Papaya and passion fruit, grapefruit. Nice stuff to wind down the indian summer with.

Thanks to Alex for the growler share.
A - Brownish-orange color with a lot of white head that left some stick on the sides.
S - Some citrus notes and a little bit of spice and some kolsch yeast. Also, it smells like soap, which I found unpleasant.
T - Taste is better than the nose, but there is still some of that soap in there. Some hops, grain, yeast, a little citrusy, slight soapy taste. It's not bad and easy to drink, I'll give it at least that.
M - Medium bodied and fairly smooth.
O - Not bad, has a few things going for it that make it a somewhat unique session beer, but I've had better.

Thanks to Alex for grabbing a growler of this to bring to our UFC tasting. Poured into a Bell's tulip as Case de AgentZero's.
A - Pours darker orange, frothy white head, sticking lacing, thick collar, and thick cap.
S - I pick out the yeast and Kölsch aspects right away, which is then followed by some light hoppy notes. Not too sure what I think about this mix...is interesting because it's so different but it's also different, which is interesting. :-)
T - Kölsch + hops...kinda weird. Slight banana sweetness, hay, hops, yeast. Again, not sure if I think it's cool or weird...
M - Light body, good carbonation, clean finish.
O - I [i]think[/i] I like the attempt, but not sure I dig the final product here. While I like Kölsch's and I lie APA's, I'm not sure I really dig the hybrid attempt that is Mr. Ouroboros. Unique...

Growler filled at the brewery and shared with friends. Served in a Bell's tulip.
A - Voluminous white foam settles to a thick cap, leaving glass-coating lace behind. Opaque orange-brown body.
S - Aroma is unusual - a mix of zesty citrus, tangerine, and grapefruit over top of a yeasty, slightly peppery, and musty Kölsch base. Reminds me a little of The Crusch, but with less hop intensity.
T - Taste is quite similar - a blend of citrus hop flavors, German-style yeast, and sweet lightly toasted grains. Finish is citric, but not particularly bitter - I guess Citra is pretty low in alpha acids.
M - Creamy medium body, smooth texture, some moderately active carbonation, and a fairly clean finish. Pretty easy to drink.
D - I didn't like this as much as Tasty Waves, but it's a surprisingly successful hybrid ale. If Half Acre is going to step outside their wheelhouse, this is a pretty sensible direction for them to take. I liked The Crusch a bit better, but this was solid too.

I gotta say that I wasn't expecting much from this beer. However, reading the first couple of reviews piqued my interest. Mr. Ouroboros delivered.
Pouring my fresh growler, the beer had a glowing orange color, with little hues of darkness. It's clear as day.
In the nose, I was immediately sold on this beer. On the front you get a hefty whiff of green mango, pine, honey and mild malts. On the back of the nose, this beer brings a stanky, peppery funk...which I fell in love with. Using wet Citra brought amazing results. You'd expect over the top tropical aromas, but they were actually really mild and green, bringing a new feeling to the varietal.
In the mouth, talk about balance! The malt bill brings a hefty weight with a touch of honey. The bitterness is apparent but really integrated. Lot's of pleasant acidity, a touch of tropical fruit and finishes with that dank earthiness.
All in all, this beer over-delivers. An amazing addition to their wet-hop beers, a killer rendition of a pale ale and an all around fantastically balanced an tasty beer.

poured this from growler into a pint glass
Nice solid orange color with a nice and foamy head from the first pour.
Very nice nose that shows the hops, but they aren't too dominant. There is a resiny smell along with some orange peels and tropical citrus
Extremely good medium/full feel. The feel of this really makes the beer. It has a fatness to it and a real smoothness. There is a slight herbal/resiny aftertaste that I enjoy, but may not work for lots of people.
This is a pretty darn good PA. There is some real good complexity and this is a style that half acre does a great job with.

Poured from a growler the day it became available at the brewery. It pours a very rich deep orange color, thick lacing and light carbonation. The nose is heavy, really nice, huge floral, cut summer grass, pine, and a touch of earth. The taste is a beautiful APA, nice stickiness with the perfect amount of bitterness. This is a great beer...I hope they bottle it some day.

poured into my lagunitas mason jar, deep orange color, slightly hazy, not much head retention.
smell is very floral, mango, perfumey. very nice.
taste is slight citrus rind, floral. moderate but clean bitterness. faint toasted malt sweetness to balance it out. clean yeast profile, helps accentuate hop character. really good.
mouthfeel has a touch of hop oiliness that sticks a bit, but overall finishes pretty clean and makes this a very enjoyable beer. get some while you can.

Poured from a growler into two imperial pint glasses. Thanks to HeatherAnn for the assist!
A: Pours a hazy, glowing amber with a meringue-like lump of just off-white head on top that reaches about 3 fingers thick before leveling off and slowly melting down to a thin skim and creamy collar. Lace was plentiful but the carbonation was on the lazy side.
S: Huge nose full of grapefruit and fresh cut grass. Very pungent. Hints of pine and caramel as it warms. Heather picked up a touch of honey, as well.
T: See above. As it warmed, I noticed some spicy apricot and more herbal, grassy flavors.
M: Full and sticky with a killer amount of peppery hop spice. I think the low-ish carbonation enhanced the fullness of the mouthfeel, but that works for this beer.
O: We really dug this beer. They have it advertised on their blog as an "Americo-German Pale Ale" wet-hopped with bags of fresh-picked, whole cone Citra hops and Kolsch yeast featuring the talents of Jonathan Cutler of Piece Brewpub. Well whatever it is I hope my classification as an APA will suffice. We're really liking their wet-hop experiments and hope they continue with them next year.

Tale of the tape
Week 16: New York Giants At Baltimore Ravens
|The Giants can't look back at last year's Super Bowl and feel good about it anymore. That's in the past. If they are going to make the playoffs this year, they have to win their two remaining games. That means Eli Manning has to make the big plays and he can't turn the ball over. Manning has been up-and-down this year, and that won't be good enough in this road game.
|The Ravens may be in first place in the AFC North, but this team is in offensive disarray. They parted ways with offensive coordinator Cam Cameron prior to the Week 15 game with the Broncos and the offense did not respond. Joe Flacco has decent numbers as he has thrown for 3,474 yards with 20 TDs and 10 interceptions, but he has not shown he can come through when the game is on the line.
|The Giants may have Ahmad Bradshaw back in the lineup after missing the Week 15 game against the Falcons with an MCL problem. Explosive David Wilson gives the Giants big-play ability on the ground. The Giants will need wide receiver Victor Cruz to stretch the Ravens' defense and Hakeem Nicks will have to come up with a consistent game.
|The Ravens are a much stronger offensive team than they on the defensive side at this point and it's largely due to the presence of running back Ray Rice. He is an explosive runner who can bounce out of tackles and then take the ball a long way after breaking free. Wide receiver Torrey Smith suffered a concussion against the Broncos and may not be available. That puts a lot of pressure on Anquan Boldin.
|The Giants have struggled badly on the defensive side of the ball this year, ranking 26th overall and 28th against the pass. The Giants have not gotten the same kind of pass rush they did last year and much of that is on Jason Pierre-Paul who has just 6.5 sacks. The Giants secondary has been awful this season and head coach Tom Coughlin needs better play from his pass rush to cover up for that weakness.
|Even though the Ravens lost to the Broncos last week, they clinched a playoff spot when the Steelers dropped an overtime game to the Cowboys. The Ravens are going to need to get much better play from their defense if they are going to do anything positive in the postseason. They rank 24th in overall defense and 26th against the run. Strong safety Bernard Pollard leads the team with 98 tackles.
|The Giants have gotten big plays from their special teams. In their Week 15 victory over the Saints, Wilson's explosive speed allowed him to return one kickoff for a touchdown and he also had two other big returns. Coughlin has complete confidence if the game comes down to a Lawrence Tynes FG attempt.
|Special Teams
|While the Ravens have had problems on offense and defense, their special teams coverage has been the best in the league. They have a significant edge on both punt and kickoff return differential. Placekicker Justin Tucker has made an impressive 25-of-27 FG attempts.
The winner is

It is time to rethink the significance of design in our urbanizing world.

"It was fun. I totally enjoyed it," Phenix said. "It went fast. Once it starts, it seems like it flies by. Sometimes it seems like you don't have enough time to do all the things you want to."
There were some expected growing pains early on in the spring campaign with the shuffling of lineups and trying to figure out the pitching rotation.
However, once things got settled and players began to step up, it was an entirely different Raiders team.
Prior to spring break, Reed was only 10-7 overall and 6-6 in league play. The Raiders competed in Spanish Springs' spring break tourney. While the Blue and Gold wasn't overly successful in the tournament, the results during the second half of the regular season could not be ignored.
Reed went 8-2 in its final 10 league games to finish with the sixth seed. That run included a season-ending sweep over cross-town rival Spanish Springs. That was one of the highlights of the season as the Raiders also swept Bishop Manogue. The Miners and Cougars were the top two seeds for the playoffs.
The only team that swept Reed was Reno, which proceeded to win the North regional tournament.
The Raiders went 1-2 in the regional playoffs to finish with a 20-13 record.
"Because of how many places we had to fill, I was very happy with what we accomplished," Phenix said. "I would have liked to have gone one or two more games in Zone because that was our goal. I thought we had the pitching depth to go a little further. Those things happen. Looking back at the year, we played a lot of different lineups different ways. Once we established a pretty decent lineup, then our success started coming."
Most expected Mark Nowaczewski, who had signed to pitch for the University of Nevada, to be the Raiders' ace on the mound this spring. But it was Thomas Sertic who emerged as the go-to guy for most of the season.
"He big time stepped up. He was our No. 1 guy on the mound for most of the year," Phenix said. "Everybody knew about Nowaczewski and Chris Flores was kind of the hidden factor. Chris had a good year for us."
Phenix said that his first year back went smoothly.
"We had a lot of cooperation. The kids were very good," Phenix said. "The coaching staff we had, it was really fun to work with because everybody really worked. It was a matter of us trying to mold things. I told them that we needed to be patient because we were going to make a lot of mistakes early and get better as we go. The kids' attitude was great all year. I never heard negative things coming out of anybody. There was disappointment at the end, but that was disappointment after a tough loss. The kids coming back know what it takes now."
Phenix also believes the team can build on the success that was achieved this year.
"I think the juniors and the sophomores know how hard it is to get to Zone in our league and once you get there, what it takes to win," Phenix said. "Reno proved it. I didn't think Reno was the most talented team in the league at all, but Reno did what they needed to do to win. They don't beat themselves."

Watching the playoffs is better with company. Though the chips may be down, here's an opportunity for fans to congregate tonight for game 4.
A few years ago, Puck Daddy ran a series about why bloggers love hockey. Raw Charge has decided to take that up asking that question of its own bloggers. The newest edition to the Raw Charge staff is the last entry in the series.
Highlighting local scholastic and sled hockey, the event will run all afternoon at the Tampa Ba Times Forum
Twenty years ago, the competitive relationship between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers commenced. The subdued relationship just isn't quite a rivalry.
If you could pick one player from the LIghtning's storied history to fill a need on the team today, who would you choose? (Spoiler: nobody picked Rudy Poeschek.)
Tampa Bay Times Forum plays host to the Florida High School Hockey Association's annual championship, the Lightning Cup, on Wednesday night. A major partnership with the FHSHA is also announced.
Cody Bradley, son of former Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brian Bradley, is the first local player to skate for the team.
Teh Lightning's developmental camp ends, and Cody Bradley made an impression; Hockeytown USA is alive thankyouverymuch; Clearwater Ice Arena gets a new chance at life. It's yoru link roundup.
30 players in all wil l descend on Brandon Ice Sports Forum next week for the annual Tampa Bay Lightning developmental camp.
Looking for a hockey fix, Lightning fans turned out in droves for the team hosted 2012 NHL Draft watch party.

Milwaukee's Best Light Dealt a Winning Hand as Official Beer Sponsor of the World Series of Poker
26 February 2009
2009 Partnership Marks Fourth Year as Official WSOP Sponsor for the "Beer That's Brewed for a Man's Taste"
MILWAUKEE (Feb. 25, 2009) - Milwaukee's Best Light is betting that continuing its partnership with the popular World Series of Poker will turn into a winning hand for the "beer that's brewed for a man's taste." In 2009, Milwaukee's Best Light will be the official beer sponsor of the World Series of Poker (WSOP), which featured increases in spectators and participants in 2008, as well as a highly rated, primetime broadcast of the final table on ESPN.
"Poker continues to enjoy growth both as a leisure activity and as a televised sporting event, so we want to make sure Milwaukee's Best Light is the beer of choice whether fans are playing or watching at home," said Chad Dern, Milwaukee's Best Light marketing director. "When we look at opportunities for developing alliances that make the most sense for this brand and help us connect with the right audience, the World Series of Poker is simply the best."
As the tournament's official beer sponsor in 2009 and 2010, Milwaukee's Best Light has the ability to use the WSOP logo on packaging and in all promotional activities, and the brand will have prominent signage during the nearly two-month-long tournament at the Rio® All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Terms of the two-year deal were not disclosed.
"Milwaukee's Best Light has been a great partner over the years, activating its sponsorship with advertising and promotions that have truly allowed the World Series of Poker to expand our fan base," said WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack. "We're excited to have Milwaukee's Best Light continuing on as the tournament's official beer sponsor, and we look forward to building on this successful partnership as the tournament kicks off its 40th year."
Milwaukee's Best Light 2009 WSOP
Feb. 25, 2009
In 2008, the WSOP enjoyed a record year, generating the most entries ever (58,720) from the most countries ever (124). Participants also competed for the tournament's largest prize pool ever ($180,774,427). The final table for last year's Main Event, won by Peter Eastgate, was staged 117 days after the final nine participants were determined. It took place in front of a live audience and aired in primetime on ESPN with Eastgate receiving $9.1 million and the coveted gold bracelet. The WSOP will handle the 2009 final table in the same manner.

THE EAST RIVER HOTEL Premieres 12/28 at Theater for the New City
Theater for the New City, Crystal Field, Executive Director presents the world premiere of The East River Hotel. Written and directed by Jeff Randall Wiseman, the production opens at Theater for the New City (155 First Avenue, NYC) on Friday, December 28, 2012 and runs through Sunday, January 13, 2013. The play performs Thursday through Saturday at 8PM and Sunday at 3PM.
The East River Hotel is an absurd romp through the looking glass of New York nostalgia set in an extravagant extended-stay hotel in lower Manhattan. The return of Via Michelle, mythical icon of the silver sixties, leads lunatic Hotel Consultant Jonny Lightning and hardboiled General Manager Sue Satu to plot a devious grand marketing scheme. It's up to Hector Blanco, the Bell Captain with the mysterious past, to avert a sensational sex scandal - but first, he seriously needs to find his headband.
The play is written and directed by Jeff Randall Wiseman, whose credits include several major collaborations with Ping Chong and the award-winning multimedia plays Flicker (P.S. 122) and Shelf Life (Kraine Theatre). The East River Hotel includes a video installation designed by Dmitry Torgovitsky and sets by Mark Marcante. In addition to Wiseman, the cast includes Tania Asnes, Ryan Downey and Victoria Linchong.
Theater for the New City (TNC) is one of New York City's leading Off-Off Broadway theaters. Founded in 1971 by Crystal Field, TNC produces 30-40 new plays per year, as well as an Annual Summer Street Theater, the Annual Village Halloween Costume Ball and the Lower East Side Festival of the Arts. Past productions include the world premiere of Buried Child by Sam Shepard, as well as several plays by Maria Irene Fornes (Danube, Mud, Conduct of Life), Romulus Linney (Heathen Valley, Gint, True Crimes), Eduardo Machado (Fabiola, Cuba and the Night, Havana Journal) and Charles Busch (The Divine Sister, Shanghai Moon). Other notable theater artists who have been nurtured and supported by TNC's commitment to new American theater include Moises Kaufman, Tim Robbins, Richard Foreman, Eduardo Machado, Caridad Svich, and Betty Shamieh. TNC productions have been awarded 43 Village Voice OBIE Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was voted "Best Theatre Company in Manhattan" by New York Press in 2003.
The East River Hotel is supported by Marie-José Malis, Artistic Director of Compagnie La Llvantina, France. Marie-José is a former pupil of the École Normale Supérieure. She has worked on texts by authors such as Hölderlin, Godard, Straub and Huillet. For her production of Le Prince de Hombourg, she worked with French philosopher and playwright Alain Badiou. She is a Villa Medicis Hors les Murs Prize winner and a former resident artist of Le Centquatre, Paris. Marie-José is a companion artist of Théâtre Garonne in Toulouse, France, who has produced three of her shows, based on Pasolini, Kleist and Pirandello texts. Théâtre Garonne has supported artists such as Tadeusz Kantor, Maguy Marin, François Tanguy, Christof Marthaler, Richard Maxwell, Big Art Group and Miguel Gutierrez.
"The play tells the story of a New York hotel. There is the owner, a figure imagined from 70's New York, forged from Warhol muses, a survivor who would have gone through disillusion, drugs, and would have converted herself to a new capitalism of images and services. And there are her employees, crossed by dilemmas, those generated by liberalism, efficiency, profitability, concurrence, cynicism and disaffection. At the same time, the Town, its history, its myths are at work and manage to make their utopian aims heard. Hospitality and dehumanization collide. But in all of this, the characters escape from a fatal negativity. To the America of the winners, to the Occident of the strong, they propose new destinations: hospitality, fragility, innocent and burlesque, a way of living without giving up desire. They are an ability to build a minority and revolutionary position. The fracture points of a civilization, its violence, and its alienations are shared with humor, with a total confidence in the intelligence of the audience. There is a sweetness, not as a dodge, but as a political choice." - Marie-José Malis

Too cute Mary Lea. We just can't get enough when it comes to miniatures, and I think I get even more excited about them than my kids! :O
I am thinking about starting a dollhouse remodel and decorating project with my 7 year old (with my old wooden doll house, now hers). It even had electricity at one point and I'd sure love to have it put back into working order. Only problem is miniature collecting can be quite expensive and my real house always needs the attention more, Ha!
Still, maybe we will begin re-doing 1 room at a time...
Blessings, Joanna

Statistically, have to give it to Rondae.
Perfect all around. Now he's only 2 less 3 pointers on the season than Ashley in 2 less attempts.
That toss against the backboard, while stupid - is nothing but confidence. Love to see our best player is recognizing he is in fact our best player.
I had to vote Rondae. He did everything. EVERYTHING. He scored, he rebounded, he blocked, he stole, and he defended. Aaron playing the 4 instead of the 3 was as different as night and day. He was awesome at the four. Nick looked good and while his 3 didn't go, it bounced off the rim twice. It was a hair off. Zeus actually shot a jumper on top of everything else. And then came Jordin. He looked like the Jordin of old. Elliot looked good out there.
Apparently Coach Miller working on those things and giving a little rest as well worked wonders. This looked like the Wildcats we've come to love. Scoring from multiple directions and defending like Oregon State players were trying to steal their best pair of shoes!
What a game! On to ASSU!
Had to give it to AG.... He gave osu fits all night.

I'm torn between AG and Rondae, they both had great games. AG finally got his stroke back, or at least his get to the rim as athletically as possible and score a bucket. That behind the back move was sweet. Was hoping that off the backboard would have been thrown a little lower, would have resulted in fireworks. RHJ, not a whole lot more can be said, he did everything. Our spark plug off the bench as a 6th man early in the season is now being the same thing but running with the starting team! Brash going down hurt, but I think they are starting to figure out some things and lets keep this going!
I went with AG because he actually hit a jumpshot
TJ with his well-balanced stats: 11 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 turnover, 2 steals. Also because it was great to see a Cat finally drain a lot of jump shots. AG and Rondae were great, too.
"Riding quasars all the way to the top of the mountain" - Bill Walton
"#Shouldershimmythempeoples" - Kevin Durant
Rondae, solely based on the fact that it makes me happiest to see him stepping up BIG to fill in Brash's shoes
If there was an option, I would have picked 'the freshmen'. RHJ and AG were huge.
I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up, that's the best they're going to feel all day - Frank Sinatra
It was a total team effort tonight. It's nice having balance on offense again.
In my opinion,if Rondae continues to play the way he has been then he might not be here at the end of the year.
He is a walking stat filler and followed up his double-double against Oregon and put up a career-high 16 points against OSU.
I am enjoying watching him play in the starting lineup (considering Ashley's injury) and how much he contributes for us on the floor.
As you can see Rondae got my vote but Gordon definitely held it down and TJ cashing in all those jimmies from mid as nice as well.
Marcus Garvey,MLK,Malcolm X,Joe Louis,Rosa Parks,etc..
All these men & woman and several more African-Americans helped paved the way to allow me to chase my dream and to pursue greatness,to sit in the same classroom as those whose ancestors thought they were more superior than mine..
I'm guessing both AG and Rondae are gone next year, but that still leaves essentially four returning starters in NJ, TJ, Zeus, and Brash, with SJ starting at the 3, PJC, Allen, Pitts, and Victor giving us a nice 9-man unit. With Rondae the depth is over-powering, though there could be some ego tension with the starting 5...My scenario also assumes that York leaves if NJ returns.
In all honesty it's a two person race for MVP of this game and you make an argument for either AG or RHJ. Nick Johnson didn't do anything for us but we AG make up for that. AG contributed like no other tonight. I feel like a lot of people are going to vote for AG (I did) because he hasn't had a a great game like this in such a long time and some didn't expect him to do what we did tonight. RHJ on the other hand put up a career high tonight and played like a beast (something which were getting accustomed to). 16 points a lot of points for a freshman. You really could vote for either freshman tonight.
AG - Gotta give it to the team for not letting him get down on himself and pushing him to be who he is #stud
"Nastiness is required" - Sean Miller, Coach, University of Arizona
AG played great at times, but as a freshman at others (ever seen anyone try to throw it off the backboard from the top of the key?). Still I felt he started to play with more leadership, which we will definitely need come the tournament. RHJ is nearly a double double waiting to happen, and I nearly passed out when Mayes hit his 3, especially after AG hit his. Hopefully this is the start of a nice retooling and recharging to get ready for MM.
Gotta give it to AG because he was in a slump and came out motivated, a close second is Rondae he also came out ready to play in this one.
A bunch of the guys have been missing swag since Cal. Rondae came up big with both OU and OSU. I'm just happy to seeing TJ doing better… If he's not doing well the whole team seems to fall apart.
Yes AG got his game back props to him. The clear choice to me is Rondae Jefferson he stepped into a role with big shoes to fill. Not only did he step up but showed why he isn't just the other freshman also a future 1st round pick in my opinion.
I think most of you are missing it tonight: for me it was TJ based on his balance. If we can get double digit scoring from him and a healthy amount of assists per game then we are going to be a very difficult team to beat. Throw in his 6 rebounds (3 of which were offensive), 2 steals and just 1 turnover and this is a no-brainer pick tonight.
Doesn't this remind everyone of the games at the beginning of the season where quite a few Wildcats could be picked for the MVP? And now they're getting comfortable running the offense all over again! Love it!!!
Bear Down Wildcats!
Really love seeing Rondae excel and Gordon playing with confidence. Against the majority here but TJ takes it. 15 assists per game is the mark for this team keeping the score in the 70s. Rondae and Nick are helping out but can't do it without TJ.

text: I am remodeling a basement bathroom/laundry. I am looking for the best waterproofing/insulation/vapor barrier combo. Ive been clued into various potential issues from reading posts here. I have selected RadonSeal to waterproof the block wall where I discovered a small groundwater leak. Now I need to know how this product impacts my insulation decision. I believe the RadonSeal will provide a vapor barrier at the inside face of the block wall. Does that mean I should go with XPS installation to allow inward drying? Or could I use ISO and create another vapor seal? Im constrained to 1.5 furring so I may use 2x2s with 1.5 insulation or 1x3s with ¾ insulation in 2 layers. Or would and air space be prefered?

GetReligion has a wrap-up of the myriad stories previewing Pope Benedict XVI's visit to Brazil, which began Wednesday. It discusses the two main story lines: that the conservative pontiff will be facing his long-term foe—Catholicism's "liberation theology," a socialist remnant that persists in South America—and the raise of Protestantism.
As is often the case, GetReligion, which critiques the way we—the media—cover religion, takes issue with the banging of the cliche gong.

I'm looking into getting a drake toilet (from Terry since I'm local), and was wondering if the Drake or the Gmax series for that matter had two flushes you can choose from. I was at a buddy's house last night to check out his remodel (I really went over to check out the drake he had) and he said that if we press the flush lever it will do a regular flush and if you hold down the lever it will to a more powerful flush, but that would use more water.
I lifted the top off and noticed that with just pressing the lever and not holding, the tank went down halfway. If you held the lever, the water went down all the way. I've never seen it advertized or read that there were two different flushes you could choose from. I was hoping if anyone ever heard of this or is my buddy just holding down the lever for no reason. Thanks

love the chairs in the first photo. any idea what they are?
I'm sure it's me, but I don't see what's special. And the place has such lovely bones...
Please, please find out what brand and colors she has used on the interior walls!! They are beautiful! And I wants them.
The first picture is beautiful. I love Domino because most photos would tell you the paint, the source of other items. I wish the ones standing would adhere to that format. I am afraid magazines as news papers will be something of the past in the near future.
SFali -
The chairs in the first picture are Ax chairs by Peter Hvidt.
I love the chairs in the first photo too, and was going to ask, so thanks guerila for the answer. That said, they don't seem like they'd be comfortable for dining chairs - the sitting position would be too far back. The look of the first photo though, the colors and the materials especially, is wonderful.
The chair and table set up in the first picture looks like its more for kaffeeklatsch than for dining. I love it.
the ship chandelier is fan-tastic!
The sofa/daybed is divine. I fall for any unconventional sofa or seating arrangement.
I love her loft! Everything is so chic and mismatched. It just looks like the kind of place that was put together over time. Love it!
Interesting ideas. It seems like some things are placed a little off to open your mind. I loved the use of the ship chandelier as well as the other chandelier.
Critique: I'm not much of a fan of deep box beds, as they are visually reminiscent of the old waterbed fad.
The poster showing the process of unwrapping a mummy is interesting, but would pall over time.
I just looooove the red candle holder! Does anyone know where it is from?
the first picture is from this domino feature they did a while back...i'm dying for the pictures of the rest of the apartment if anyone has them
