Pours light red/dark amber with a thick, frothy head that leaves lacing all over the glass. On the hazier side. Aroma is heavy citrus from the hops, some floral notes. Smooth malt profile hides in the background, very hop-heavy but not overwhelmingly bitter. Thick in the mouth, almost chewy, but with a pleasant dry finish. Leaves a nice mellow bitter hop aftertaste.

This is my first Red Ale so nothing to compare it to except all the other brews I have enjoyed here in the PNW. The Aroma popped right out of the bottle and the color is an interesting hazy "red"? Just taste differently good to me. great start, the body holds up well and finishes well. My next three buys will be red ales so I can learn a bit more about these brews,

I bought a bottle of IRA in a bottle shop. 1 pint .9 ounces. Poured in to a pint glass.
Pours an amber gold color, not sure I would call it red, with a bit of chill haze. Thick creamy white head.
Smell is a faint fruity citrus aroma.
Taste is a sweet bread flavor up front, with a mild bitter citrus finish, with a dry bitter after taste.
Mouthfeel is light in body, crisp and clean.
Overall a pretty good brew. I would have it again, even though I am not crazy about the size of the bottle.

Pours a hazy red with a big off white head and very fine lacing.
Smells of floral hops and grains. Slight pine aroma also.
Tastes of lightly sweet malt and plenty of piney fruity hops. Plenty of depth to the flavors.
Full bodied with good level of carbonation. So well balanced that the finish is moderately bitter.
Overall a fine beer and even better on tap.

Appearance- Pours up a very healthy amount of head which appears to have excellent retention. The head is a light tan to light beige while the body is a dark amber with slight maroon hints that appears as a medium to dark amber in the light.
Nose- Very subdued with a hint of creaminess to it. Maybe mild peach or melon, slightly vegetal even. Slight notes of citrus- orange, lemon, maybe even tangerine. Really hard to get much as it's very subtle. Swirling really adds nothing to the picture.
Taste- Starts off a lot breadier than I expect an IPA to, followed by heavy notes of grain and cereal. Some hop notes come in but they are mostly of the pine and resin variety. Slight bitterness that has a little bit of linger. Some citrus (orange mostly, then grapefruit) but it transitions quickly into bittering hops. Lots of earwax. Not bad but I'm getting the sense that this might have a little age on it (maybe 2,3 months on it) because the hops do not have that pop. Above average to good beer but mostly above average. Not really the style of IPA or IRA that I like but competent with no obvious flaws. Grain notes but bitter hop notes remain consistent and rounded. Nice balance and integration but lacks complexity and presence.
Mouthfeel- Flirts with being medium bodied and has a good level of carbonation that hints at a zing but fortunately doesn't deliver. Slight creaminess.
Drinkability- Pretty easygoing but also a little boring. Pretty subdued for an IPA/IRA that tends toward the bitter end of the spectrum. The 4 bucks a bottle, however, will probably render this a one time buy for me.
Overall- Above average to good beer but mostly above average. Very competent but not all that interesting. If this is fresh, it's more of a sessionable ale (at least taste wise) with a bit of a kick. Worth a try.

The Independent
An apparent would-be burglar became trapped in the exhaust duct of an Ashland restaurant early Wednesday morning and was extracted from it some 9 1/2 hours later by city firefighters.
Employees of El Rancho Grande, 2416 Winchester Ave., heard the suspect yelling for help when they arrived to open the restaurant. It took about two hours to remove the grease-covered male from the ductwork, Ashland Fire Department Battalion Chief Bob McKeon said.
The suspect's name wasn't immediately available. Rescue workers at the scene said he was a juvenile, in which case it would be unlikely his identity would be made public. It also was not immediately known what, if any, charges had been filed against him.
The suspect was pulled out of the ductwork about 11:30 a.m. McKeon said it was his understanding he'd been there since about 2 a.m.
The suspect climbed onto the roof of the building and crawled into the duct there. He was able to squeeze downward through it, but, when he reached the bottom, he found the vent joined with another section of ductwork, forming a "T," and that the hole at the bottom wasn't large enough for him to wiggle through, McKeon said.
When firefighters arrived, the suspect's body was upright in the vertical section of duct, while his feet and legs were horizontal in one of the lower sections. The suspect was respectful and cooperated fully with his rescuers and thanked them after he was freed, McKeon said.
Firefighters on the roof lowered a harness to the suspect and instructed him him how to put it on. However, the initial attempts to pull him up failed because the suspect was so slippery, from all the grease in the duct, that he was unable to get a hold to free himself, McKeon said.
The problem finally was resolved when firefighters moved an oven and pushed the suspect from beneath while those on the roof pulled the harness upward.
Firefighters pulled the suspect up to the roof, placed him on a stretcher and carried him down the ladder of an aerial truck. He was then placed in a waiting ambulance and taken to King's Daughters Medical Center.
The extent of the suspect's injuries wasn't clear, but Boyd County EMS Director Tom Adams said he had abrasions to lower legs and could a face of range of medical problems stemming from him being in one position for so long.

Is annatto a nut? Or a seed? Or a fruit? Well, for one thing, it's not on the FDA list of nuts, which does include coconut, which can be classified as a nut, seed, or fruit. However, some people with peanut or nut sensitivities report having reactions to annatto.
Annatto is a dye, spice, or food additive derived from the seeds of the Lipstick Tree (Bixa Orellana). It is also called achiote, and can be found in Mexican food. The USDA classifies Bixa Orellana as a "tree or shrub." It is a woody plant that grows in tropical areas and produces seed pods full of seeds covered in bright red pulp. The pulp and/or seeds are used for making natural dyes for foods and cosmetics, such as cheese and Mexican rice.
There has not been any large-scale study done of annatto allergy, although there are a few case studies of anaphylaxis due to annatto in the medical literature.
Some tree nuts that are closely related to each other have high levels of cross-reactivity with other nuts. For example, if you are allergic to walnuts, you are likely to also have or develop an allergy to pecans and hazelnuts. Walnuts and pecans are strongly cross-reactive tree nuts, and are both members of the same family (Juglandaceae).
There are other nuts that are not related, and yet still can be cross reactive. One group includes cashews, Brazil nuts, pistachios, and almonds. Cashews and pistachios are both members of the family Anacardiaceae, Brazil nuts and almonds are unrelated biologically, yet are still cross-reactive.
There is also some evidence of cross-reactivity between coconut, walnut, and hazelnuts, which are not related.
Lipstick Tree stands alone -- there are no other plants in its biological family. A sensitivity to annatto could be a cross-reactivity with another nut allergy, or simply a sensitivity to the annatto itself.
Because the status of annatto as a tree nut is uncertain, food manufacturers are not required to put a nut warning label on foods that contain annatto. They are, however, required to list annatto in the ingredient list.
If you think you are allergic to annatto, ask your doctor about allergy testing. Testing can help narrow down the list of possible causes for your allergic reactions.

The Next Three Days
Director: Paul Haggis, Rated M, 122 Mins
Australian Academy Award winning actor Russell Crowe (Robin Hood) returns to the big screen in the exciting remake of a French thriller Pour Elle written and directed by Award winning filmmaker Paul Haggis (Crash and Million Dollar Baby).
Unlike his tough cop role in American Gangster, Crowe plays mild mannered college professor John Brennan whose life is turned upside down after his wife Lara (Elizabeth Banks from W) is suddenly arrested for the murder of her boss.
Despite her conviction, John's belief in her innocence never falters and he fights persistently to convince the justice system to release Lara so that she can become a mother again to their young son Luke (Ty Simkins).
As the appeals fail and the money runs out, John becomes so desperate and determined to free his wife by any means necessary - even resorting to stealing money from drug cheats.
Besides having the story take place in Pittsburgh, home of the largest city prison in the world Haggis cleverly divides his production into four time frames - the last three years, the last three months, the last three days and the next three days - which provides him with the title of his movie.
The location also provides John with a huge challenge in freeing his wife and the possibility of succeeding by adopting a painstaking plan with the help of David Pennington (a cameo performance from the talented Liam Neeson) playing a former prison escapee.
At the heart of a gripping and suspenseful storyline is the loving relationship between John and Lara as depicted so vividly in the gut wrenching scene at the prison showing the silent desperation of a couple separated by glass as a husband struggles to tell his wife that her last appeal has been rejected.
Despite a lack lustre performance from Banks it is Crowe who stands alone in this tense thriller and is the driving force behind this thoroughly engaging and entertaining movie-transforming his character from a mild mannered academic into a calculating professional prison breaker whose love never wavers over his wife's innocence.

DVD REVIEW (Sony)
Eat Pray Love
Release Date: February 2011
Director: Ryan Murphy, Rated M 140 Mins
One of Sony's newest DVDs being released this month is Ryan Murphy's insightful direction of an unhappy married woman's journey of self discovery based on Liz Gilbert's international bestseller Eat Pray Love with Academy Award winning actress Julia Roberts playing the famous author Liz Gilbert.
Tired of her domestic life and husband Stephen (Billy Crudup), Liz embarks on a fascinating year long journey that takes her on a tantalizing tour of Italy (spending some four months eating), a spiritual excursion into the heart of India (spent in prayer) and finally stopping in Bali where she falls for a local divorcee, Felipe (Javier Bardem) and discovers the true meaning of unconditional love.
Roberts delivers a satisfying portrayal of the self indulgent Liz Gilbert in what is a rather long movie that features some splendid images and scenery.
In addition to Crudup, Roberts also shares the limelight with such well known stars as Viola Davis, James Franco, and Richard Jenkins as well as Academy Award winning actor Bardem.
Some will find the story both touching and uplifting but as mentioned by director Murphy in the bonus features of the DVD, people do not have to travel to foreign countries to take the journey in order to find inner happiness.
Sony's DVD contains both the theatrical and director's versions of Eat Pray Love as well as Murphy's approach in the making of his movie.

DVD REVIEW (Sony)
The Ghost Writer
Release Date: 16 February 2011
Director: Roman Polanski, Rated M, 128 Mins
Another Sony DVD being released in February is from controversial filmmaker Roman Polanski who returns with his superbly directed mystery thriller The Ghost Writer.,
The title is adapted from conspiracy novelist Robert Harris and starsEwan McGregor as the main character (without a name) hired to rewrite the memoirs of a former British Prime Minister, Adam Lang, played by former Bond actor Pierce Brosnan. McGregor - referring to himself as "The Ghost"- is flown to Lang's special retreat to undertake his assignment where he soon discovers that not everything is what it seems, including some photos belonging to the previous ghost-writer whose mysterious death is still unaccounted for.
As the ghost writer pursues further clues, he uncovers possibilities for conspiracy theories until the dramatic conclusion which may not have been anticipated but which suggests that his assignment may have been part of a wider conspiracy.
As well as infusing the right amount of atmospherics and suspense into his stylised storyline, Polanski also has a number of gifted actors in cameo roles including James Belushi, Timothy Hutton, Eli Wallach and Tom Wilkinson.
Besides the fine performances from McGregor and Brosnan, it is Olivia Williams who steals the show as Lang's secretive and seductive wife Ruth.
Polanski has lost none of his touch as the master director of the mystery thriller genre and, in addition to three fascinating featurettes incorporated into the bonus features, this is one Sony DVD worth having in one's home movie collection.
VIC'S VERDICT: 4 ½ Rubber Stamps

Update, Oct. 21, 2011
NBC's move to Stamford is official, according to a recent report from the Stamford Advocate.
NBC Sports, currently located in New York, will come to Stamford, in part thanks to tax breaks being offered to NBC by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy. Details of the tax credits involved in the deal have yet to be finalized.
Whereas UBS was offered similar tax incentives to remain in Stamford, NBC has been offered tax credits to come to Stamford, which may create over 1,000 new jobs.
NBC-Stamford's new location is currently under speculation.
NBC Sports is reportedly exploring the option of moving its operations from New York City to Stamford, and the former Clairol site on Blachley Road is reportedly being eyed as a possible location.
According to a post in Kevin Rennie's news blog " Daily Ructions," NBC Sports is "deep into site studies and planning" to relocate operations to Stamford — a move that could bring as many as 1,000 jobs to the city.
The 32-acre site, a former hair dye factory, was purchased last year for $16.75 million by real estate developers and a movie studio, with plans to convert part of it into a sound stage.
A report from NBC Connecticut, however, was unable to confirm that NBC Sports is planning to move from New York.
As reported by in May, Chelsea Piers Connecticut is building a 400,000-square-foot sports complex at the former Clairol site, which is expected to be completed in 2012. Despite that project, there is still ample room in the sprawling, 672,654-square-foot campus for a television studio/sound stage.

Be proactive about preventing skin cancer by wearing sunscreen every day on areas that will be exposed to outdoor light - even on cloudy days, when 80 percent of the sun's UV rays can slip through the clouds. Here's what you need to know for the best protection.
How Has Sunscreen Improved Over the Years?
A far cry from the white stuff you wore as a kid, today's sunscreens are nongreasy, invisible on the skin, and come in every form possible, from sprays to wipes. The biggest improvement: Many products now shield you more effectively from the sun's two types of dangerous rays, UVB (which are the main cause of sunburn and have been linked to skin cancer) and UVA (which penetrate through car and house windows, infiltrate the skin's deepest layer, and have been linked to melanoma and premature aging, including wrinkles). With so many sunscreens to choose from, you're bound to find one you like enough to wear every day!
Skin Cancer Facts: Can You Spot the Signs of Skin Cancer?
Which Level of SPF Is Right for You?
The American Academy of Dermatology recently upped its recommendation from daily use of SPF 15 or higher to a minimum of SPF 30 on exposed skin. The SPF number on sunscreen indicates how much longer than usual you can stay in the sun without burning if you use it. If you usually start burning after 10 minutes, for instance, using an SPF 30 sunscreen means it would take you 30 times longer to burn, or 300 minutes. SPF refers only to the lotion's level of protection against UVB rays, though, so make sure the label on the bottle boasts coverage that's "broad-spectrum"; this means it protects against UVB and UVA.
Skin Cancer Facts: Is Dark Skin Cancer Proof? The Answer May Surprise You
Are You Applying It Correctly?
Slather it on generously: Most people rub on less than half the amount of sunscreen that's recommended, which is one ounce - enough to fill a shot glass - for the entire body. Using too little SPF 15, say, may only give you the coverage of SPF 5, Tanzi says (one reason dermatologists now recommend SPF 30). Apply sunscreen to skin about 30 minutes before going into the sun. Then reapply every two hours or immediately after sweating, swimming, or drying off with a towel (which can rub lotion off).

As my attending physician walked in with the next patient, I quickly stuffed my iPhone into my pocket. There was a strict "no cellphone" policy in the pediatric clinic where I was working as a third-year medical student. If my attending had caught me, I would have received a stern lecture about how cellphones were not to be used while patients were in the room.
We proceeded to examine the patient, a young boy named Tim, who had an earache. As part of the routine physical exam, I used my otoscope - a device first described in 1363 - to examine Tim's eardrum. Unfortunately, it was difficult to see the characteristic cone-shaped membrane. The more I maneuvered the otoscope, the more Tim yelped in pain. I finally gave up and admitted that I couldn't find the eardrum. Tim had been subjected to enough agony, and we sent him home with a course of antibiotics for a presumed ear infection. My attending later confessed that after 10 years of practicing, she still sometimes had trouble seeing the eardrum.
I remembered Tim's eardrum when reading the 2013 program of TEDMED, an annual conference in Washington showcasing the most promising medical advances in the country. A medical technology blog that I write for had organized an exhibit called "The Smartphone Physical" to showcase smartphone apps - many of them already commercially available - that doctors could use in a physical. As part of the exhibit, the team used CellScope, a mobile phone attachment to show attendees a picture-perfect magnification of their inner ear canal - much clearer than I'd seen with my otoscope.
I recently mentioned the device to a pediatrician. "That'll be the day," she replied.
Many doctors share her skepticism of smartphones in medicine. Less than half of attending physicians in a recent survey reported using smartphones for patient care. Many doctors worry that these technologies will hurt their relationships with patients. In a 2012 essay in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Georgetown University physician Caroline Wellbery warned that "these devices deprive us of the very essence of presence. . . . We may be surrendering our capacity to be in the moment."
But what if these technologies not only make physicians' physical exams easier but also improve our interactions with patients? Smartphones can offer doctors a more reliable exam while increasing patient involvement in their care. Within the next decade, the smartphone physical might replace the traditional physical exam. Even now, the long-standing "routine physical" may no longer be so routine.
The traditional physical exam may be overrated when it comes to picking up diseases. A chest exam done as part of a physical, for instance, has been found to pick up only half of all pneumonias. A study found that stethoscopes wielded by young doctors correctly identified only one-fifth of previously diagnosed heart conditions.
So while the traditional physical exam may be hands-on, it's probably time to find ways to improve it; to me, smartphones offer that possibility.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — The remnants of this winter's double slam of snow and ice should be mostly clear by the time the Norman Christmas Day parade begins at 10 a.m. Saturday at Norman High School, 911 W. Main St.
The forecast calls for scattered sunshine Saturday. Sure it will be cold, but it'll be a great morning for hot chocolate and blankets on the tailgate.
Allen Morain, longtime Norman businessman, will serve as grand marshal of this year's parade. Chairman Ed Copelin promises bands, floats, horses and, of course, Santa, in this year's parade, which heads east on Main Street from the high school.
Beforehand, Norman Kiwanis will flip pancakes at the Norman High School Commons from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

If you're looking for a great way to spend the holidays or start the New Year, then you need to explore the incredibly blue Las Vegas sky and lovely desert terrain on a hot air balloon with Vegas Balloon Rides!
The Vegas Air Balloon Rides is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the Strip. And with a spectacular bird's eye view of Sin City, the Las Vegas valley and the surrounding residential and desert areas in one of the most unique vehicles ever created for flight it's also one of the most fun! The air adventure begins bright and early with pickup at your hotel. You'll then be escorted to the launch site where you'll meet your Pilot and flight crew all before the sun even rises! Before you can take off you'll listen to a safety briefing, which teaches mechanics and inflating procedure of the hot air balloon.
At that time you'll watch the hot air balloon inflate and no doubt marvel at the incredible size of it as it towers an astonishing 10 stories over you upon complete inflation. Once you get over how big the balloon really is you and your family will climb aboard the gondola for a calming trip through the serene Nevada sky.
In a matter of minutes, you're soaring a glorious 800 feet above the Las Vegas skyline where you'll see the southwest part of the valley and views of the Vegas Strip and downtown, as well as Red Rock Canyon and the Spring Mountains. Since wind directions can vary each day, there is a chance you'll fly right over a neighborhood and see well-wishers below waving to you.
And as you peacefully drift in the Las Vegas morning air you just might spot some of the desert's wildlife and surrounding nature that you don't normally get to see during your Las Vegas visit. The flight is approximately 1-hour long, giving you plenty of time to snap photos of the gorgeous sights and relax in the cool early morning breeze.
The hot air balloon flight ends with a champagne toast and snack in celebration of your ride in the sky. Your tour guides will then share the history of the hot air balloon, giving you a whole new appreciation for your recent flight. And just as you watched the hot air balloon inflate, you'll get the chance to watch the deflation process too!
The Vegas Balloon Rides is also an excellent way to make the holidays a peaceful one, so look for discounted Vegas Balloon Rides right here on Best of Vegas.

By Stephanie Springer - bio | email TIFTON, GA (WALB) –A van for sale in Tift County was taken off the market not because someone bought it but because a huge pine tree crushed it.
A huge tree totaled this van when it crashed on top of it during Tuesday morning's storm. It happened around 3am on Prince Avenue near the intersection of 20th street.
The owner of the vehicle says she and her husband were up already because of the bad weather when all of a sudden they heard a crash.
It was dark outside so they had no way of telling what happened until a little later.
"We see fireworks outside shooting from the van then all of a sudden we turn around and the sockets in the house started popping," said Helen Harbuck, van owner.
When the tree fell, it also pulled down some power lines. The owner says they finally got electricity back this morning, and she says a company was on the way to remove the tree and clean up the street.

Science students at in Iselin won a $5,000 grant to purchase a fish farm.
The students were from one of ten selected schools in Morris and Middlesex counties to benefit from a $50,000 science education grant from , which has research and development facilities in Iselin.
The grant money for JFK will be used to purchase a mini-fish farm which will allow students to raise baby tilapia, a fresh water species. Students will conduct water sampling tests and learn how to preserve wild fish populations.
The data, school officials said, will be used for students to experiment with changes in water temperature and food to see how it affects the fish population.
"Today's students will be the thinkers, innovators and leaders of the future; therefore, we need to stimulate their interest in science early on. With these grants, we are helping students experience science in fun and creative new ways; engaging their imaginations and hopefully inspiring a new generation of scientists, physicists, engineers and mathematicians," said BASF Vice President and Communications Chief Robin Rotenberg in a statement.
The awards were given during a ceremony at the company's headquarters in Florham Park.

From where Dick Williams was sitting — he really was resting in a chair at his Henderson, Nev., home — the 1967 Boston Red Sox had two things the playoff-bound 2008 Tampa Bay Rays didn't have.
"Carl Yastrzemski and Jim Lonborg," said Williams.
"We had two guys that had career seasons at the same time. You could always count on either one of them. (Triple crown winner) Yaz had one of the greatest seasons ever for a player. He was special. And Lonborg (22-9, 3.16 ERA) was our ace. Tampa is very good. But it doesn't have anybody like those two."
Other than that, says Williams, the two Cinderella teams are like looking in a mirror. Or an old movie.
"I look at Tampa's club and they have a bunch of kids who are gung-ho about playing the game," said Williams, who this summer was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame after being voted in by the Veterans Committee.
"We had some kids, too, other than Yaz. I had managed some of them in Toronto (the Sox AAA farm team) the previous two seasons."
Williams also sees a similarity in styles.
"They do the little things to win. The go for one run. They move runners over," said the 79-year-old Williams. "They are about pitching and defense. So were we. I have to say I'm impressed."
There are other similarities. The Red Sox finished ninth, 26 games out of first place in 1966, and the Rays were a last-place team, 30 games out of first, in 2007.
But Boston had some young talent.
"I told everyone in spring training that we would win more than we lose," said Williams, repeating a phrase that has long since become famous. "I saw we had some good, young talent like Tony Conigliaro, Rico Petrocelli, Mike Andrews, Reggie Smith and George Scott to go with Yaz, who was only 27. I wasn't sure about our pitching, but with Lonborg and Jose Santiago we had something to work with."
Williams said he had heard the same thing about the Rays, that their best years were ahead of them.
"It was like us in that nobody expected us to be as good as we were as soon as we were," said Williams.
Which, of course, brought out the naysayers who predicted the Red Sox would eventually crumble in July, August or September, just like people have been saying about the Rays.
"To be honest, I didn't even listen to that stuff," said Williams. "You can't. I couldn't control what had happened before I was there. Heck, the reason I was there was they weren't a good club. And I had managed Toronto to two straight Governor's Cups. I didn't care what people said. I just wanted us to focus on playing good, hard baseball each day."
The Impossible Dream team has received a lot of recognition the last few years with the 40th anniversary and the two recent World Series championships. The '67 club, of course, lost a seven-game classic to Bob Gibson and the Cardinals in the World Series.
While he spent only three years of his 20-year career managing the Red Sox, he marvels at the interest in his 1967 team.
"I had a lot of success and spent a lot of time in places like Oakland, California, Montreal, San Diego and Seattle, too," said Williams. "Heck, I was a scout and consultant with the Yankees for 10 years after I was done managing. My son works for the Yankees now as a scout. So I root for a lot of teams."
But he does respect what the Red Sox have been able to do, especially last season.
"That was a great team that won the World Series," said Williams. "That was a perfect blend of young talent with experienced veterans. And God, they had pitching. The Red Sox are going to be good for a few years."
As for the Rays, Williams admits there is a rooting interest there, too, because of the fact that few people believe in them.
Williams has never met Rays manager Joe Maddon, who recently admitted he was a St. Louis Cardinals fan during that '67 World Series.
"When you see players that don't ever quit, I credit the manager," said Williams. "He's different than I was because it's a different era. I was a sore ass a lot more. He seems to be very relaxed and more of a players manager. I was never that way. I could never be that way. But Joe Maddon has found a way to get players to be hungry. I respect that."
As for Maddon's new "mohawk" haircut, which he did to prove his team unity, Williams laughed when asked if he would have done the same thing.
"Are you kidding me?" he shouted.

The Joplin Globe
WEBB CITY, Mo. —
Gary Holm Philpot, age 75, died on Nov. 17, 2012, at Freeman Medical Center after suffering an acute hemorrhagic stroke earlier in the week.
Gary was born May 2, 1937, in Kearney, Neb., to Bert and LaVea Philpot. Gary was an only child, but enjoyed his childhood in Mason City, Neb., with his extended family. For college, he moved to Ames, Iowa and attended Iowa State University. There he met Keota Kay Bannister, his wife to be of 53 years. He was a letterman for ISU in track. He graduated from ISU in 1958, with a B.S. of Geology and minor in Physics and Algebra. After an honorable discharge from the Army he began work for Geophysical Services Incorporated throughout the western United States. After joining Hercules Inc. in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he worked on the Minute Man Missile, Gary and his young family were transferred to Carthage, Mo. In 1966.
Gary fell in love with southwest Missouri and always felt it was the most beautiful area in the United States. Faced with an offer for promotion and transfer, Gary saw what was more important to him and chose to remain here and raise his family. With the help of Mel Brown, Gary started Sherwood Forest Homes in 1971 and Gary continued to run the company until his passing.
He was passionate about the community and was President of Webb City Youth Baseball and was instrumental in the move to its current location at King Jack Park. He was an avid Webb City sports fan and could often be found cheering on the Cardinals. He strongly advocated for his passions and served on the board and past President of the Missouri Manufactured Housing Association (MMHA). He received the MMHA Man of the Year award three times and received the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1994. Gary was more recently involved with the State Home Builders Association and past President of the Home Builders Association of Southwest Missouri (HBASWMO). He was instrumental in helping get legislation passed that protected the rights of builders all over the state.
Gary had fun in work and life. He was a driving force in the HBASWMOs building of a Habitat for Humanity house in Joplin, the Crowder College Solar Decathlon House for competition in Washington D.C., and he was involved in the design and construction of the Ronald McDonald House in Joplin. He was active in the cleanup for Joplin after the Tornado and one of the lead builders in building a home for the Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Seven Homes in Seven Days.
He remained active and enjoyed time with the family at the lake water skiing, snow skiing and playing Annie Annie Over. He has lifelong friends and enjoyed fishing and hunting. Despite his long hours of work, he also enjoyed his beef cattle and could be found on a cold night helping his cattle during calving season. He was known for his free spirit, the twinkle in his eye and the glint of trouble in his smile.
Gary was preceded in death by his granddaughter, Riley Philpot, of N.C.
Survivors include his wife, Kay Philpot, of Webb City; Craig Philpot, of Webb City and his wife, Carrie and their children Chase, Caitlyn and Chesnie; Tanya Stewart, of Houston, Texas and her husband, Steven and their children Jake and Kylie; Tony Philpot, of Webb City and his wife, Christy and their children Sydney, Ashley and Hally; Kirk Philpot, of Greenville, N.C. and his wife, Kelly and their children Jon Paul, Ella and Ashlyn. Gary has one great- grand child, Braiden Stewart of Houston, Texas.
The family will receive visitors at the Simpson Funeral Home of Webb City Monday 6 to 8 p.m. Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday, at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church of Webb City.
Funeral arrangements under the direction of the Simpson Funeral Home of Webb City.
In lieu of flowers, the family request donations to Rileys Army. Rileys Army was founded and inspired by his granddaughter Riley to help children and their families that are affected by cancer. Donations can be made online at www.RileysArmy.com, or mailed to Rileys Army, PO Box 720 Winterville N.C. 28590.

7,000 year ban for Halo fan
One Xbox Live gamer is reported to have picked-up a record breaking more-than 7,000 year ban after saucily tricking his way into the Epsilon beta test version of Halo 3, much to Microsoft and Bungie's consternation.
Reports on CVG.com and GameSpot seem to affirm the truth to the ban, inflicted upon one Halo fan going by the in-game name of 'Scar'. The Live user says that he was granted access to the Epsilon build by a friend, and enjoyed Halo 3 for "maybe six hours" before being kicked-out on loading attempts.
Trying to access Xbox Live the next day, Scar discovered to his horror that he had been banned until December 31st 9999. Apparently, Scar isn't the only user to be hit with a super ban for breaking the terms of using Live, the user stating they will not appeal after watching similarly punished users fail in attempts to regain access.
More on this as we get it.

'Warm Bodies': not just any zombie flick
I think we all know the zombie story by now. The dead come back to life as flesh hungry monsters and surviving humans have to fend them off, slowly dwindling in numbers. "Warm Bodies" takes the tired narrative, as well as the awareness that we've all seen it before and spins it around to create a refreshing and surprisingly touching film.
The post-apocalyptic universe of "Warm Bodies" is slightly different than those we've come to know. In this incarnation, zombies are not completely mindless, retaining a shred of their humanity which they seek to enhance by eating the brains of their victims. Beneath them exist Bonies, skeletal figures of decayed corpses or zombies who just tore themselves apart which are essentially rabid wolves. The story is told from the perspective of a zombie named R (Nicholas Hoult) because he can only remember the first letter of his name. He encounters a group of survivors and falls for a girl named Julie (Teresa Palmer) after eating the brain of her boyfriend. He seeks to protect her and win over her affection, which causes him to slowly regain his humanity.
Believe it or not, the zombie love story works very well. The films gives the relationship a time to develop, R quickly wins our sympathies and while the plot jumps logic in places, the tone is so endearing and brings out a message of hope and companionship so sincere, you can't help but adore it. Due to R's limited speech ability, much of the story is told through music, the entire soundtrack well selected and incorporated. There are also several dream sequences used to symbolize the past and all life was before the apocalypse, which are shot and edited masterfully, and added another dimension to the drama. I also commend "Warm Bodies" for a smart and original third act, which actually bothers to have a resolution, often missing in zombie films.
The film is also a comedy, with much of the humor coming from R's dry snarky observations about the zombie infested world we're all too familiar with. Little of the comedy is physical or employs gross out humor with the dismemberment of body parts; as the film smartly recognizes that's better utilized as a tool for sorrow than laughs. Rob Corddry gives a very funny performance as M, a fellow zombie and friend of R. The film manages to generate laughs without distracting from the narrative, and knows the time and place for jokes.
"Warm Bodies" does have a few minor drawbacks. Julie has a fairly bland personality and comes off as somewhat whiny in the first half. Although this may be intentional irony, having the zombie character be much more rounded and interesting than the human character. Her father and leader of the survivors is played by John Malkovich, who deserves far more than the role of the generic overprotective dad. And while I appreciate the tweaks "Warm Bodies" made to the setting, the zombies do seem a little too close to human at times, with surprising motor skills and communication abilities.
"Warm Bodies" does so much with so little. It takes two stale premises: the zombie apocalypse and the unlikely romance and creates a film more original than most in either genre. It succeeds in being a story all its own and proves that even the wildest of premises can made into heartwarming and effective stories.

When sickness strikes, people around the world pray for healing. Many of the faithful claim that prayer has cured them of blindness, deafness, and metastasized cancers, and some believe they have been resurrected from the dead. Can, and should, science test such claims? A number of scientists say no, concerned that empirical studies of prayer will be misused to advance religious agendas. And some religious practitioners agree with this restraint, worrying that scientific testing could undermine faith. In Candy Gunther Brown's view, science cannot prove prayer's healing power, but what scientists can and should do is study prayer's measurable effects on health. If prayer produces benefits, even indirectly (and findings suggest that it does), then more careful attention to prayer practices could impact global health, particularly in places without access to conventional medicine. Drawing on data from Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians, Brown reverses a number of stereotypes about believers in faith-healing. Among them is the idea that poorer, less educated people are more likely to believe in the healing power of prayer and therefore less likely to see doctors. Brown finds instead that people across socioeconomic backgrounds use prayer alongside conventional medicine rather than as a substitute. Dissecting medical records from before and after prayer, surveys of prayer recipients, prospective clinical trials, and multiyear follow-up observations and interviews, she shows that the widespread perception of prayer's healing power has demonstrable social effects, and that in some cases those effects produce improvements in health that can be scientifically verified.

Monday's episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills had everyone in shock. Cedric Martinez crashed Lisa Vanderpump's opening party for her new restaurant and lounge, SUR, and there seem to be conflicting reports about what happened. While sources close to Martinez claim that he was invited to the opening, Lisa is adamant that she did not extend such an invitation. In fact, it was pretty clear on the show that she didn't wish him anything.
"Cedric turned up unannounced and definitely uninvited -- the nerve of him after all this time, after what he had done to us as a family," Lisa writes in her recent Bravo blog. She claims she didn't know about the so-called olive branch that Cedric was extending, which is why producers supposedly invited him to the opening. Even if he wanted to extend a hand to make amends, what would make him think that she would forgive him after he dragged her name through the mud in the media after The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stopped filming last year.
"He wasn't welcome and never will be. Endless derogatory stories have been told by him and printed in the tabloids, to which I never responded. I will not lower myself to his level and engage in a slanging match. There's no anger anymore. I have moved on. And always remember -- indifference is really the greatest insult of all," she ends her blog. It is clear that Lisa just wants to move on and forget that she was ever nice to Cedric.
Whose side are you on? Is Cedric lying about his invite or is Lisa doing this for publicity?

MANATEE -- The Rev. Don Thompson, founder of Transitions Church and Support Group in Manatee County, lost his wife, Jane Riley Thompson, to brain cancer on Jan. 28, 2012.
The couple had been married more than 35 years.
For a man whose church has a mission to help people deal with life's major changes, such as death of a loved one, this was an instance where the minister needed help from his own congregation to get through his own transition.
"I was very lonely, but now I am feeling better," Thompson said Monday, tipping his ever-present baseball cap to church members who helped him during group talk sessions.
A new state of mind was needed to handle the void in his heart, Thompson said.
"I needed to learn gratitude for the time Jane Riley and I had together," Thompson added. "Now I recall those pleasant memories we shared."
Thompson's church can be defined as an interfaith, clergy-facilitated support group. What makes Transitions different from a traditional church is that it responds specifically to the needs of those who come to the church. And Transitions differs from secular support groups in that it has a spiritual context, although not narrowly defined, Thompson said.
"We don't care what religion you
follow, if any," Thompson said. "We come together to share a mutual caring, not to tell people what to believe. We reach out to those suffering from the loss of a spouse, partner, family member or friend or people who are going through some other transitions and need help, It's a small group ministry. It's a ministry that doesn't sit within the four walls of a traditional church. We acknowledge you don't have to be with one faith group to be fully present within the experience."
Six months before she died of her cancer, Thompson's wife stated to church members that she wanted to discuss death. Later, she said was not afraid to die.
"These group meetings have helped me realize I have absolutely nothing to fear," Jane Riley Thompson told her husband.
"The group meetings definitely helped her," Thompson said.
Thompson believes Transitions might be the only clergy-facilitated support group in Manatee that is not aligned with a certain faith, like Christian, Jewish or Presbyterian.
"All we really want to know is, 'Have you suffered a great loss, such as the loss of a loved one, job, health, been forced to leave home or otherwise struggled with addictions? Or Are you wondering what to do now?' '' Thompson said. "That's why we come together as a group, helping each other with clergy leadership. We are intentionally inclusive of people of all races, and religions. We don't discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender expression."
The Rev. Marilyn Johnson of the International Council of Community Churches and the Rev. Dee Graham, a Unitarian Universalist, help Thompson lead groups at the church.
Jane Riley Thompson often said of Transitions, "I value that everyone gets a chance to share and feel empowered in their own lives."
The church has an intentional outreach to the lesbian, gay and transgender community, Thompson said.
Formerly meeting at the Congregational United Church of Christ on 26th Street West, Transitions is now meeting 5:30-6:30 p.m. Sundays at Christ United Methodist Church, 5512 26th Street W., Room 3.
The church is also meeting 5:30-6:30 p.m. Tuesdays in the Campus Ministry Building (Bldg. 4) of the State College of Florida, 5840 26th St. W., Bradenton.
The Tuesday session is a combination of campus ministry and an outreach to all young adults and non-traditional students, Thompson said. But community members who prefer Tuesdays or the SCF location are welcome as well, Thompson said.
To get to the SCF location, go in the 26th Street West entrance, park in the visitor lot, and walk west on the campus sidewalk to get to the Campus Ministry Building. Look for signs announcing Traditions.
Transitions Church and Support Group is a member of the International Council of Community Churches, which was founded with 50 percent white churches and 50 percent black churches in 1950, Thompson said.
For more information, contact The Rev. Don Thompson at 941-739-7103 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Transitions maintains a Facebook page at Facebook.com/TransitionsChurch.

Roff —
Oops, they did it a again.
Just two weeks after besting some of the best softball teams in this area to win the 2013 Beast of the East Tournament hosted by Stonewall, the Tushka Lady Tigers did the same thing at the 2nd Annual Highway 1 Classic.
After Latta had forced an if-necessary game with a tense 9-8 win over Tushka in the first championship game, nearly everything imploded for the Lady Panthers during a 14-1 loss that gave the Lady Tigers the title Saturday afternoon in Roff.

As I hear of progress with many other forms of cancer, I get discouraged sharing the statistics about lung cancer. Survival rates, especially with advanced lung cancer (stage 3B and stage 4), have not changed that much in recent years. But a new study gave me a sense of optimism, just as I watch the last snowdrifts melt.
Researchers took a look at the customary treatments for those with inoperable stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer - chemotherapy and radiation - and evaluated how they work together.
With regards to average survival, using chemotherapy in addition to radiation therapy clearly made a difference, and was best if both of these treatments were given at the same.
Most dramatic, however, was the difference in 5-year survival rates. Adding chemotherapy to radiation therapy doubled the number of lung cancer patients alive after 5 years, and doubled that number again if chemotherapy and radiation therapy were given at the same time rather than sequentially (which is medical lingo for the two treatments being given at separate times).
So what does this mean for you? As I wrote last week, studies suggest that asking questions, and discussing new treatments with your doctor may make a difference in the options that are chosen. But my mind raised another thought. Combining these treatments together is likely to cause more side-effects, and many side-effects can be minimized (or at least reduced) by simple things each of us can do on our own. Check to see if any of these tips can help make life a bit more comfortable during your treatment.
Coping With Side Effects From Radiation Therapy:
Coping With Side Effects From Chemotherapy:
- Hair Loss
- Mouth Sores
- Taste Changes (Dysgeusia)
- Loss of Appetite
- Anemia
- Neutropenia (low white count)
- Thrombocytopenia (low platelets)

- Skin Changes

Research: Mobile is Emerging in Emerging Markets
For anyone needing further proof of the global proliferation of mobile devices, a comprehensive survey conducted by research firm TNS in sixty countries offers more evidence. The worldwide study, along with in-depth research and case studies from OgilvyAction, found that in some mobile usage areas, such as banking and shopping, developing countries are pioneering new trends. Both companies highlighted their findings at an AMA/American Marketing Association New York chapter event on Tuesday.
Below are the key takeaways.
Mobile has transformed communications, business, and entertainment in developing countries. "There mobile is not just a way to phone one's friends, it's a new portal," Charles White, SVP at TNS, noted. "In many emerging markets, consumers' first access to voice, news, Internet, and music was through mobile devices," he added. Even for basic tasks, research results showed higher usage overseas. Worldwide, 65 percent of personal electronic messages were sent via mobile compared to 37 percent in North America.

There's nothing more pleasurable that eating local dishes prepared by knowledgeable chefs and Nice has plenty of both.
Try the Cours Saleya market and the little streets of the Vieille Ville (Old Town) for socca (a thin pancake made from chickpea flour and olive oil, baked and crisped in the oven and seasoned with black pepper, a little like a crepe), pizza, pissaladière (pizza-like onion tart), petits farcis (delicious stuffed Provençale vegetables), salade Niçoise, pan bagnat (fresh baps or bread filled with salade Niçoise), tourte aux blettes (tart of Swiss chard, raisins and pine nuts) and beignets de fleurs de courgettes (deep fried fritters with vegetables like courgettes flowers).
Buy these specialities at stalls in the food markets, or try the local restaurants.
1. Chez Pipo
Chez Pipo is where the locals go for socca. It's a small, well-established restaurant run by a young team who have expanded the repertoire and introduced other Niçois specialities (unthought of in the old days) like pissaladière and tourte aux blettes. It opens at 5.30pm, is shut on Mondays and is not the place if you are in a hurry.
Address: 13 rue Bavastro, Old Town
Tel.: 00 33 (0)4 93 55 88 82
Open: Tues.-Sun. 5.30pm onwards.
2. Chez Theresa
Better known to tourists and in all the guides (rightly) is Chez Theresa and her small, busy, fun restaurant where a socca snack hits the spot during the day. For those on the run, the redoubtable Theresa also sells socca from her stall on the Cours Saleya market.
Address: 28 rue Droite, Old Town
Tel.: 00 33 (0)4 93 85 00 04
Open: Tues.-Sun. breakfast and lunch daily.
3. Chez René Socca
At René Socca, you queue up (and it might be a long queue) to buy your socca or beignets, then grab an outdoor table and order drinks. It's relaxed, friendly and communal.
Address: 2 rue Miralheti, Old TownOld Town
Tel.: 00 33 (0)4 93 92 15 73
Open: Tues.-Sun. 9 a.m-9 p.m.
4. La Pizza
Pizza is everywhere in Nice and you'll find your own particular favorite. To start you off and give you a good yardstick to judge others by, try the rich, wood-fired Italian pizzas at La Pizza, a big, bustling pizza restaurant that's been delighting pizza fans since 1956. Try a pavement table for great people-watching.
Address: 34 rue Massena, Old Town
Tel.: 00 33 (0)4 93 87 76 18
Open: Daily 11 a.m.-1 a.m.
5. Fenocchio
Nice is still very Italian (it moved back and forth between France and the Italian states for centuries), so when it hots up, it's time to make for an ice cream parlour. And Nice has one of the best – Fenocchio. The family-run place claims to have 94 flavours, 59 ice creams and 35 sorbets so you could spend all your time trying them.There are two branches; both close from November to March.
Address: 2 pl Rossetti, Old Town
Tel.: 00 33 (0)4 93 80 72 52
Open: Daily 9 a.m.-midnight.
Address: 6 rue de la Poissonerie
Tel.: 00 33 (0)4 93 62 88 80
Open: Wed.-Mon. 9 a.m.-midnight.
6. La Zucca
If you visit Nice's open air fruit and vegetable market you'll be intoxicated by the abundance of fresh ingredients. One of the best restaurants to taste those vegetables is at La Zucca Magica. It's pretty unusual to find a vegetarian restaurant in France, but to find one this good. Try dishes like zucchini stuffed with wild pesto, ricotta and asparagus tart, aubergine paté and the like.
Address: 4 bis quai Papacino
Tel.: 00 33 (0)4 93 56 25 27
Open: Tues.-Sat. Lunch & dinner.

Early Thursday morning, the Macon City Fire Department responded to a house fire at 1110 Laura Lane. The home of former Macon Fire Chief David Snarr and his wife Kathy was engulfed with heavy smoke and fire when the department arrived.
The Snarrs said they woke up when a fan in their bedroom quit.
"We thought the power went off," David said. "It has done it before and we usually lay there, thinking it will eventually come back on."
This time was different.
"An alarm on Kathy's oxygen tank concentrator was going off.," David said. "We thought we better cut the power so it wouldn't get damaged by a surge."
"As we were walking through the house, we noticed the smoke alarms were sounding," he said.
"We looked out the kitchen window, which is on the south side of the house, and that is when we saw the fire," David said. "When we discovered the flames, they were on the southwest corner of the house."
"Kathy's mom and sister live with us, and we knew we needed to get them and us out of the house," David said, while looking at the ruins of their home. "I got out of the house with my cell phone and clothes that I was going to put on this morning. Kathy, her mom, and sister got out with nothing but what they were wearing to bed."
The Macon City Fire Department and the Missouri Division of Fire Safety completed their sifting through debris at noon on Thursday.
Macon Fire Chief Ross Dutton said the fire was ruled accidental, and they were unable to rule out electrical.
The city fire department was assisted at the scene by the Macon Police Department, Macon Municipal Utilities, and Macon County Ambulance District.
The home is a total loss. The family lost a majority of their belongings.
Kathy and David both agree they feel blessed that no one was hurt.
The Red Cross was at the scene Thursday morning helping the victims to find a place to stay for a few days and replacing needed medications.
Kathy and David both were recently dismissed from the hospital.
"I was diagnosed with lung cancer and had to have a portion of my lung removed," Kathy said. "The doctor say they got all of the cancer."
David has also been facing health issues and was recently released from the hospital.
"Through all of this we know God is in control," Kathy said. "He will take care of us."
"I've worked a lot of fires," David said. "It is a lot different when it's your own."

Chatting or Cheating - How to Detect Infidelity, Rebuild Love and Affair Proof Your Relationship
It used to be that affairs only happened at work, out of town, or otherwise outside the home. But with the advent of cell phones, the Internet and social networking, it's easier than ever to connect with anyone, anytime, right in the comfort of your living room.
The brain chemicals released from mere flirtations can be as addictive as drugs, and people who never thought they'd ever betray their partner can unknowingly slide down the slippery slope of emotional sex and cheating.
