Interview with Anthony Sanders of The Island of Misfit Toys
Seeing The Island of Misfit Toys play the Township a few weeks ago was one of the most exciting shows I've been to in a while. I was immediately taken in by the nine-piece's eclectic, energetic sound and singer and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Sander's ability to draw in a crowd who was mostly there to see the headliners. I was SO taken, in fact, that I approached Anthony for an interview after the show ended. Luckily, Anthony is a friendly, personable guy and enthusiastically replied "DUDE! YES!"
I spoke with Anthony as he was recording Island's new full length, I Made You Something, that is due out this summer. We discussed the band's origins, Yung Lean, the new record, and his favorite places to eat in Chicago.
An interview regarding I Made You Something, and the band in general!

Giovanni Papini
Article Free PassGiovanni Papini, (born January 9, 1881, Florence, Italy—died July 8, 1956, Florence), journalist, critic, poet, and novelist, one of the most outspoken and controversial Italian literary figures of the early and mid-20th century. He was influential first as a fiercely iconoclastic editor and writer, then as a leader of Italian Futurism, and finally as a spokesman for Roman Catholic religious belief.
Though largely self-educated, Papini soon became a literary leader in Florence. He was a founder of an influential Florentine literary magazine, Leonardo (1903). During this period he wrote several violently antitraditionalist works, such as Il crepuscolo dei filosofi (1906; "The Twilight of the Philosophers"), in which he expressed disenchantment with traditional philosophies. One of his best-known and most frequently translated books is the autobiographical novel Un uomo finito (1912; A Man—Finished; U.S. title, The Failure), a candid account of his early years in Florence and his desires for ideological certainty and personal achievement.
Papini had already become an enthusiastic adherent of Futurism, and he founded another Florentine periodical, Lacerba (1913), to further its aims. In 1921 Papini was reconverted to the Roman Catholicism in which he had been reared. A number of religious works followed, notably Storia di Cristo (1921; The Story of Christ), a vivid and realistic re-creation of the life of Jesus; Pane e vino (1926; "Bread and Wine"), a volume of religious poetry; and Sant'Agostino (1929; St. Augustine).

Prince Gong's Palace (Gôngwángfǔ) Review
This grand compound sits in a neighborhood once reserved for imperial relatives. Built in 1777 during the Qing Dynasty, it fell to Prince Gong—brother of Qing emperor Xianfeng and later an adviser to Empress Dowager Cixi—after the original inhabitant was executed for corruption. With nine courtyards joined by covered walkways, it was once one of Beijing's most lavish residences. The museum offers Beijing opera and tea to visitors who pay the higher ticket price. Some literary scholars believe this was the setting for Dream of the Red Chamber, one of China's best-known classical novels.

Shula's 347 Grill to open on Southside in July
- Christian Conte
- Staff Writer
JACKSONVILLE -- Former Miami Dolphins Head Coach Don Shula is bringing one of his restaurants to Jacksonville Jaguars territory.
After years of planning, Shula's 347 Grill is expected to open July 10 inside the new Deerwood Park Sheraton hotel.
The 170-seat restaurant, which will serve a variety of beef, pork, chicken, seafood and salads entrees for breakfast, lunch and dinner, is one of three expected to open around the U.S. this year.
Jacksonville is also one of the last major markets in Florida that the Miami Lakes-based Shula's Steak Houses LLP has not already developed in, said Dave Shula, president and managing partner of the company. Dave Shula is Don Shula's son and the former head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Already there is a buzz about the restaurant, said the hotel's general manager, Ray Smith.
"People seem to be very excited about the Shula's," he said. "Everybody we run into seems to know more about Shula's than they do about the hotel."
Shula's was created in 1989 when Don Shula agreed to license his name to former Florida Gov. Bob Graham's family. The Grahams wanted to develop a restaurant concept for a hotel they were developing in Miami Lakes.
Shula's restaurants include fine-dining-themed Shula's American Steak House, casual sports restaurant Shula's Steak 2 and Sports, beachfront Shula's on the Beach and mid-priced restaurant Shula's 347 Grill. There are 26 locations, most of them inside hotels, with eight more scheduled to open by 2010.
The Sheraton and Shula's project is the first in Jacksonville for Atlanta-based Long and Cox Properties Inc. Company Principal Jerry Cox said he's been involved with the site at 10605 Deerwood Park Blvd. for 10 years, but the development of the 159-room hotel was delayed by financing changes due, in part, to construction price increases after an unusually active hurricane season in Florida several years ago. Long and Cox Properties will also serve as asset manager of the property, which has been under construction since 2006 by DooleyMack Constructors. Construction costs were not available.
The restaurant will employ 70 people.
Shula's youngest son Mike Shula, quarterback coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars, is not involved in the family steakhouse business, but will be there for the grand opening July 16 along with Don and Dave Shula and other sports celebrities.

the only outlet to sex is through marriage. Having sex outside of marriage leads to self destruction because the process opens the door for the demons in your partner to come into your body.
So what if its lame the first time with your wife? its not like... you aren't going to have more opportunities to make love to your spouse!

In my opinion, if you take everything away that is not real science, or can be scientifically proven then you will not have anything to support evolution.. If you look at all of the scientific limiting factors and use real scientific evaluation, the results line up with the "Holy Bible".

That's not how God set up marriage. Do you believe what scripture has said...because it's quite blatant about it.
Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
It has nothing to do w/ being better than, but that's how God set it up. That doesn't mean the woman has no leadership...but the man is the head of the household. I have no issue w/ that becasue I understand what God means by that.

(Let me give you a hypothetical scenario.
A hospital is on fire. You only have time to do one of two things before escaping - you can save a day-old infant, or you can save twenty petri dishes with frozen embryos for IVF, some of which will be disposed of. You cannot save both the infant and the petri dishes.)
Those dumb scenarios are no basis for the making of public policy. Hey, there are four men on the moon, one falls into a permanent coma. The rocket breaks down and the escape pod can only fit three. Which do you choose? Please.

No matter that the Bible lays it out htere so clearly, he will question it. The Bible says that we have to have faith, but who cares, right? I mean, if we can rationalize everything away, then there's no need for faith"

I don't know if you meant the logical fallacies list or not, but, if you did...
Please, please, please no.
Those are like guns: to be used very, very rarely by only the most responsible of individuals (yourself included, probably). Being able to analyze an argument and discover which "then" clauses don't follow from their "if" counterparts and to identify the author's assumptions, among many other things, are much sounder than being able to say "ElChupacabra is making a Slippery Slope" or the like. Honestly, I think all of those fallacies can be reduced to three or four: B does not follow from A, a probability is not a certainty, incorrect facts, and "Strawman!"
Hate to rant like that, but from the first time I was taught the "logical fallacies list" in high school, I thought it had to be one of the educational establishment's dumbest moves in my lifetime. In any case, if people say you need to improve yourself as a debater, learning that list will probably have only the result of making you an infinitely more annoying opponent.

[On the subject of papal infalliblity. Catholic preists molesting kids. The Pope didn't do anything to stop it, nor did he punish those who commited the crime. Does that mean God wants kids molested? If that's the case, how can He be called good by any stretch of the sane imagination?]
"Catholic" priests?
They were homosodomite Newchurch presbyters doing what they do best...
[a little later in the conversation...]
The homo presbyters are not Catholic; they are Modernist heretics who adhere to the Vatican II schism from the Faith. The twentieth century Masonic/Jewsuit infiltration of the Church coincided with the homosexual scandals. Their ordination is likely Novus Ordo. Even Benedict-Ratzinger is illicitly ordained in the pseudo-protestant New Order rite...

It was driving me crazy in the 60s already, long before I had a name for it, and it wasn't about nigger, wop and kiKe. It was an aggressive hate war on the white race as the cancer of the world, on conservatives, who we all know are nothing but a bunch of Hitlers and jingoistic idiots; on America, which is really only an evil imperialist monster. Those who agree with such sentiments of course object to conservatives daring to characterize them as Thought Control or anything pejorative. It was militant in-your-face black activism, in some cases out and out thuggery (it was a murder that woke up David Horowitz). It was militant feminism, one group cheerily named The Society for Cutting Up Men, characterized by sneering contempt for any demented woman who liked the idea of marriage and family as a career, or horror of horrors identified herself as a "housewife." It was militant gay rights. I remember attending a "talk" with my ex in which the speaker got up and berated the assembled group for any thought that homosexuality might be an aberration, and accused all assembled of REALLY being homosexual but denying it. It was an abusive speech.

I saw the horns of the fiery serpent as they entered the bodies of people on earth: many were completely possessed by the serpent (whorish spirit of mammon and vanity). As I watched, I saw a huge beast arise in a large place and turn into a man (the son of perdition). The inhabitants of the earth ran from him; some into the wilderness, some into caves, some into subway stations, and some into bomb shelters. They sought any shelter to hide from the eyes of the beast. No one was praising God or talking about Jesus. A voice said to me, Where are my people (it is written, When the Son of man returns, shall he find faith on the earth?)? I looked closer and saw people like dead men walking (supposing they have life and are blessed). There was a desperate sadness in the air; and no one turned to the right or the left. I saw that the people were being led about by some unseen force. Now and then a voice spoke to them out of the air, and they obeyed the voice. They did not talk to one another. I saw too that the number 666 (mammon) was written on each ones forehead (mind) and on his hands (works). I saw soldiers on horses herding the people about as though they were cattle. The American flag, tattered and torn, lay forlornly on the ground. There was no joy, no laughter, no happiness. I saw death and evil everywhere.

Wanting us to lose
Michael Barone concludes his excellent essay on America's covert enemies--those elites who promote multiculturalism, transnationalism, and moral relativism--with this paragraph: "We have always had our covert enemies, but their numbers were few until the 1960s. But then the elite young men who declined to serve in the military during the Vietnam War set out to write a narrative in which they, rather than those who obeyed the call to duty, were the heroes. They have propagated their ideas through the universities, the schools and mainstream media to the point that they are the default assumptions of millions. Our covert enemies don't want the Islamo-fascists to win. But in some corner of their hearts, they would like us to lose."

A sunday school teacher was fired from her job after 54 YEARS for being a woman.
Lambert showed 7 News the letter, which states that church leaders adopted a scriptural approach to Sunday school teachers.
The letter quotes 1 Timothy 2:11 -14 of the New Testament: "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner."
The letter states that the church's Diaconate Board unanimously decided to dismiss Lambert, who has taught a 9:30 a.m. Sunday school class for adults at the church for 11 years.

Everytime there is a UFO sighting, the government plays it down and call it something else. After 400 peolpe saw the same Unidentified thing, it's just a reflection of a star to the government.
All you get from the government is half answered questions and riddles.
This goes out to the guy trying to explain that the earth is flat.
If you have been educated in the United states, you will obey the philosopy of this govenrment and thats if you want to go far.
Every curriculum and course subject that public govenrment funded school's will have you believe what they want.

[Arguing that plants aren't alive]
Young earth critics like Hugh Ross say there was death before Adam sinned because plants died in order for Adam to eat.
Before we decide if there was death before sin we need to define what life is. Plants have neither the "breath of life" nor blood so they cannot "die" in the same sense that man and animals die. God said that He gave plants to man and animals to eat.

HyugaHinata has a history of stereotyping people based on religion and/or political stance. He also likes to make pro-choicers look all good and prolifers look like assholes. [...]
It's really not a matter of who is right or who is wrong. It's how people percieve it to be. HH agreed it's a living being but not human. I don't think people go from non-human to human.
Anyway, abortion doesn't bother me as much as how it is used. People who abuse abortion should be treated like people who abuse sex(rapists). They are less than people to me.

The begging question is how nature was able to simultaneously, or nearly simulatnaeously, evolve a male with fully operational sex organs, evolve a female counterpart with fully operation sex organs that just so happen to be perfectly compatible, and be placed within the same locality that they could find one another, and for nature to give them the understanding that they must mate in order to create progeny, all in one felled swoop?

Career Ladders Strengthen Coordinators' Professional Development
Career ladders provide a path for professional development
When someone asks you what you do for a living, chances are you answer with a one-liner: "I manage the day-to-day activities of a residency/fellowship program."
If you give a more specific answer, you probably get confused looks and nods of understanding, even though you know the person has no clue what you're talking about.
Unfortunately, coordinators are often met with those same confused looks when trying to explain what they do to HR, department administrators, and even some program directors.
To add to the confusion, there is no standardized job description for coordinators. The responsibilities assigned to the job vary among institutions—sometimes even within an institution.
With so much variety, it's not surprising that coordinators often get lumped into the "secretarial" category even though their jobs require administrative and managerial skills. This misperception causes endless frustration for coordinators.
In fact, many respondents from RPA's 2009 Coordinator Salary Survey sounded off on this issue. When asked what their biggest challenges are, coordinators commented:
- "Educating supervisors and HR on the impact of our jobs, what it entails to remain accredited, and have excellent education for our learners."
- "Getting administrators to understand that the residency coordinator position should be full-time ... aside from my program director, no one knows what I do ... I can't get appropriate support or pay."
- "Coordinators manage the residency program but they are always put in the category of clerical/
secretarial staff, which decreases their pay range considerably. Coordinators need to be placed in a higher job classification." - "Finding professional development opportunities."
Although coordinators are still largely misunderstood, some institutions do realize the high level of skill it takes to perform the job successfully. To recognize coordinators, some institutions are creating coordinator career ladders that provide a path for professional development.
The case for career ladders
Career ladders link skill level or experience with salary. As coordinators achieve a specific level of experience, acquire new skills through education or training, and become involved in professional organizations, they move up the ladder and advance to the next job level, typically also getting a bump in pay. (See the sidebar on p. 9 for a sample career ladder.)

Each week that they remain in competition,
celebrities (who will be competing to win a newly-revealed $100,000 cash prize for the charity of their choice) will be paired with a different established recording star. After choosing their songs and working with their recording artist partners, each of the celebrities will head out on stage and join their recording partner for a live duet performed in front of both a studio audience and an
American Idol
-like judging panel that will include legendary composer, arranger, producer, and (brief -- Fox canceled it after only two episodes)

McCrory waiting for lawmakers to hammer out a budget deal
Thursday, June 27, 2013 12:00 AM EST
Monday, October 7, 2013 10:58 AM EST
Gov. Pat McCrory plans to stay on the sidelines of budget negotiations between leaders in the state House and Senate
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Gov. Pat McCrory says he and North Carolina legislative leaders are going through a tough process working on a tax overhaul and isn't going to spend a long time helping facilitate a deal.
The governor said after a bill signing ceremony Wednesday he's feeling there will be a positive outcome to negotiations between House and Senate Republicans. The two chambers have passed competing tax plans.
McCrory says he hopes to see consensus reached in the next week but doesn't want the process to drag out and says he'll move on to other important policy issues otherwise. The legislature doesn't have a hard deadline but Republicans want to end the legislative session in July.
The governor says he's looked at many tax scenarios but hasn't made his own offer to legislators.

Critical Essays
Critical Essays
Critical Evaluation
Though a few of Herman Melville's short poems have been reprinted in anthologies of American literature, he is known almost exclusively for his prose fiction. The Melville biographers and critics who mention the poetry usually pass quickly over it, often giving the impression that it may interest some curious readers but that it has no great importance as compared with his novels and stories. In recent years, however, considerable interest has been shown in Melville as a poet.
Most of Melville's poetry was published during his lifetime, but it drew little attention, partly because the last two volumes were published in editions of only twenty-five copies each. A number of previously unpublished poems did not appear until 1924 in the final volume of the Standard Edition of Melville's works. A critical edition of the poems (not including the lengthy CLAREL, which occupies two volumes in the Standard Edition) was published in 1947 with explanatory notes and textual notes by Howard P. Vincent. A similar edition of CLAREL, with a critical analytical introduction by Walter E. Bezanson, came out in 1961. Nearly a century after its original publication, Melville's BATTLE-PIECES AND ASPECTS OF THE WAR was re-issued in 1963 as THE BATTLE-PIECES OF HERMAN MELVILLE in a handsomely printed and profusely illustrated edition with an introduction and extensive notes by Hennig Cohen. The following year Mr. Cohen brought out a volume of SELECTED POEMS OF HERMAN MELVILLE, which contains, in addition to many of the poems in Vincent's edition, several passages from CLAREL and over eighty pages of comment by the editor on individual poems. Cohen quotes many of Melville's notes to the poems and frequently draws attention to the relationship between certain poems and Melville's various works of fiction.
Melville's first published volume of verse did not appear until 1866, and most of his extant verse was written in the last thirty-five years of his life. But his symbolic novel MARDI, published in 1849, contains some romantic effusions by the poet Yoomy and several other brief poems. In 1860, when Melville sailed for San Francisco on his brother's ship, he left with his wife a manuscript volume of poems for which she was to find a publisher if possible. No publisher was found, but many of the poems in TIMOLEON, which came out in the year of Melville's death, may be among those in the earlier unpublished book.
A number of critics and biographers have called attention to the difficulties which face the beginning reader of Melville's verse. Newton Arvin has observed that Melville the poet seems to be a prose writer working with verse. Robert Penn Warren has found the seemingly inept distortions and wrenchings in many lines to represent a possible attempt to develop a style fitted to a man of Melville's masculine temperament. Laurence Barrett sees the violences and wrenchings as often effective, especially upon rereading, and as conscious technical devices being used sometimes awkwardly but occasionally with marked success.
Melville explains in a prefatory note to BATTLE-PIECES AND ASPECTS OF THE WAR that most of the poems in the volume were the result of an impulse imparted by the fall of Richmond in 1865. The arrangement is generally chronological but not strictly so. The first poem, "The Portent," concerns the hanging of John Brown on December 2, 1859, and most of the poems at the end of the volume relate to events of 1864 and 1865, though several return to earlier years of the war. Among the best poems are "The Portent," "The Conflict of Convictions," "The March into Virginia," "The Temeraire," "Malvern Hill," and "The Martyr."
In "The Portent" the body of John Brown hangs swaying from the scaffold beam, throwing a symbolic shadow on the green of the Shenandoah Valley which will be stained later with so much red. As the hangman's cap covers Brown's face, so the future is veiled, but the streaming beard of "Weird John Brown" ominously forecasts the "meteor of the war."
"The Conflict of Convictions," with its obvious allusions to the war in Heaven in PARADISE LOST, shows an indifferent God who will not stop men when they make their choices: "The People spread like a weedy grass, / The thing they will they bring to pass." The boyish soldiers in "The March into Virginia" proceed into the "leafy neighborhood" near Manassas with the lightsome joyousness of picnickers. But, says Melville, some in the next three days will "Perish, enlightened by the volied glare," and others will survive to endure the shame of a second defeat in the same area a few weeks later. In "The Temeraire" an old Englishman fondly and sadly recalls the passing away forever of the glorious oldtime sea battles of the great wooden sailing ships, while he muses on the fight between the small and unromantic ironclads MONITOR and MERRIMAC.
"Shiloh" is a brief and beautiful requiem for the soldiers who fell there and who lie now "While over them the swallows skim, / And all is hushed at Shiloh." As the swallows in this poem symbolize the indifference of nature to man's bloody conflicts, so do the...

Can not stand 3D animation. I just about put up with it in the Berserk films. Still, it's something different for the UK.
Shame though that we can't get the bigger films out over here like Naruto, One Piece, Madoka Magica, Blue Exorcist, Hunter x Hunter, etc. All of those films would pull in a crowd with a limited number of cinemas. Even if they're only subtitled (which no doubt would have to be the case). Maybe one for the future though perhaps. |

Mb Quart makes some quality sound I love the way this sub sounds and looks. If your looking for clean bass for a reasonable price look no further. Sonic is the best!
Expert Service 1-877-289-7664 [Hours]

Combined Total Price
You Save $6.00
Round/Circle: This is the typical and common subwoofer design. They have a round cone and are a circle in design.
Square: These woofers are able to achieve a greater cone area in a smaller space. Because of the greater surface area, some square subwoofers will be louder than a round subwoofer of the same size.
Sealed: These enclosures completely enclose the air inside the box. These boxes produce a tight bass.
Ported/Vented: These enclosures have a slot of air to escape from the box. The result is a sound that has more "boom".
Bandpass: These are a combination of both sealed and ported enclosures. They can be very efficient, but require tuning for the best response.
Shallow mount speakers will typically have a mounting depth of 2" or less, while shallow mount subwoofers will typically have a mounting depth of 3" or less.

These pack a hell of a punch when you blast them. These match up with my system perfectly. For how much it costs, I can't complain. My friends think I spent over 500 bucks doing up the sub but I spent a lot less. Pair this up with a sufficient class D or cheap class A/B amp and you're good to go.

look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
A: The beer is crystal clear light yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a thin yet dense white head that quickly died down and left a thick ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass and some lacing on the surface.
S: There are moderately strong aromas of cinnamon in the nose along with hints of apples.
T: Similar to the smell, the taste has flavors of cinnamon and some sweet apples. It's similar to a pumpkin beer but with apples instead of pumpkins.
M: It feels rather light-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The beer goes down very easily because it is light-bodied and isn't too sweet. Maybe it's a good introductory beer for someone to try instead of hard cider.

This beer was something I had seen on here and made sure to keep my eyes open for it at my local shops. I finally managed to find a bottle of it at Abe's in Bethlehem and was rather excited to try it. The beer poured out as a clear yellow color with a fizzy white head. There was some very light lacing and minimal retention. The look of the beer didn't seem like a wheat ale to me at all, it was much to clear looking. The smell of the beer had some apple and cinnamon aromas that got me past the average look of the beer. The taste of the beer was decent, the apple and spice flavors were pretty dominant. I wasn't a big fan of how the malted wheat came through in the aftertaste too much. The mouthfeel of the beer was very light, moderate carbonation, a little on the watery side. Overall I like Apple flavored ale and such. I enjoyed this one but it wasn't the best one out there honestly.

12 oz bottle into a stemless wine glass.
A: orangey copper in color with a finger of white head that recedes quickly. Minimal lacing.
S: Mostly cinnamon and artificial apple (like a glade spray). This is very reminiscent of Pumpkinhead.
T: again fall spice type flavor that includes cinnamon, clove, apple, pumpkin spice. Not a particularly bad taste but I'm not eager to drink again. Aftertaste is bitter and then semi sweet like an apple cider.
M: probably the worst aspect, not special at all. Has carbonation but just feels kind of meh. I think the cinnamon spices through it off a bit.
O: not a terrible beer but I'm not a fan. I do think they've accomplished what they've set out to do. I personally couldn't/wouldn't drink very many of these but I suppose it's easy drinking enough that people could. Don't recommend particularly.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
This didn't seem like something that would really be my style, but I was intrigued and bought it anyways... weird!
A: The appearance reminds me of apple juice, and I suppose part of that is a mental thing. It's a slightly deeper amber hue, but very crisp and clear and topped with the thinnest white lace
S + T: A smell not unlike an apple pie coming out of the oven. I could have maybe done with just a little less cinnamon spice, but that's a personal preference more than anything. Flavor highlights a little more apple and soft malts. It's got some qualities not unlike an apple cider, but is still clearly a beer.
M + D: I suppose it would make sense that it would be a refreshing beer, and that's certainly the case. Some of the food pairings suggested make it seem like a good beer for the season, but I really think this would be far more appropriate in warmer weather... maybe the end of summer, rolling into fall, while apples are coming into season. Nonetheless, a pretty decent beer, and worth at least a try!

I had this apple beer in a glass stein.
Appearance- The slight white film the pour produces is very fizzy and full of exploding bubbles. What foam there is dies almost as quickly as it came.
The transparent body is chock-a-bock full of carbonation, no surprises there. The color is probably the best quality, a brightly burning golden-orange.
Smell- Not really any apple here, but there is a ton of cinnamon and snicker-doodle cookie dough. Just on those two scents alone it makes it worth it. Without that heavy malt smell, this nose would be a disaster.
Taste- The start of the drink imitates the nose perfectly, cinnamon and cookie dough malt. Hey! At about mid-drink there is actually some Red Delicious apple flavor that starts to come through.
Luckily, it does not taste like green apple extract or anything else offensive, just good old mashed apples. However, the finish is way too short and leaves the drinker pondering what they were even drinking in the first place.
Mouth feel- The body is of the lighter variety, and has enough carbonation to really lift the beer off the tongue. Also a little astringent though, thanks to that unbelievably short and watery finish.
Overall- This beer would probably be more than worthy had the apple flavor been kicked up a bunch. The cinnamon and cookie malt are a great starting point that really needs some assistance.
And a too short, watery finish is not the way to support what has been done.

Appearance is gold with a nice white foam. The smell is strong with apple and cinnamon, leaving out any hints of beer. Taste is very apple pie, reminds us very much of a cider. The feel on the mouth is very good leaving well and holding the flavor while drinking. Overall this is something you need to be in the mood for. If you are looking for Beer, we say skip the Applehead. This is a great holiday brew. A once in a while type drink. Not our thing.

3.18/5 rDev +1.6%
look: 2 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 2 | overall: 3
A: Pours a slightly golden yellow color with about a fingers worth of head that bubbles and fizzes away very quickly
S: Slightly tart apples, cinnamon and some other spices, and a hint of wheaty malt
T: Starts off with the spices and slowly moves to the tartness of the apples. Both of these co-mingle into the aftertaste
M: Light bodied with too much carbonation
O: This is a great dessert beer that manages to mimmic apple pie with the spices and apples and is easy to drink, but as a stand-alone "pale wheat ale," this one is way off the mark. It is definitely more of a specialty beer that doesn't belong in any category, but could fit into the fruit beer section better than pale wheat ale. Certainly don't expect your typical American pale wheat ale when drinking this, because you won't find it anywhere in this beer

A-Pours clear honey in color. Absolutely zero head. Transparent and no lacing as well.
S-Smells quite like their Pumpkinhead beer. Cinnamon and caramel with an apple aroma. Really does smell just like Pumpkinhead though.
T-Definitely more apples in the flavor. Cinnamon Toast Crunch with sliced apples. Quite light and mellow. Caramel flavor with no real hop presence.
M-Light and watery with heaps of carbonation. Cinnamon and nutmeg spice flavors linger. Easy drinking. They didn't go overboard with the spices thank god.
O/D-Really not bad. Very mild and easy to imbibe. Just like Pumpkinhead but hey, the beer sells so why not wring out all the value you can with the gimmick.

Poured from a bottle into a tumbler pint, the beer is a vibrant, crystal clear, golden yellow coloring. On initial pour, there is a low profile, foamy white head, but that disappears very quickly. The nose is reminiscent of fresh baked apple pie, with a heavy dose of cinnamon and a toasty, bready quality. Flavors are heavy on the cinnamon as well, giving the light bodied beer an initial sharpness to it. Apple serves as the backbone, and it tastes like more of the red variety, including Macintosh, Braeburn, and Gala. Very tasty, and the sweetness does a good job avoiding the realm of tart. The spicing and sweetness does shift to a slight syrupy character at the very end of the palate. The aftertaste is toasty, but pastry toasty as opposed to bread toasty, with slight cinnamon spice present. The finish is light and subtle, with a slow regression of flavors. Interesting brew, and more subtle and unique than I initially thought it would be when the beer was announced.

Bought this one because I enjoy a good cider. Not expecting much, but it was cheap anyway. Let's give it a shot. 12oz bottle into Sam Adams perfect pint.
Pours a slightly red-tinged golden color with a finger of head that immediately disappears. Huge, visible carbonation. The aroma actually works. Smells like apple pie. Not sure how I feel about drinking twelve ounces of it, but it smells good. You know what? This actually isn't bad at all. Strong cinnamon at first, which gives way to a solid apple taste, and finishes on a sweet candy apple note. Nice cleanliness on the finish. Again, I'm still not so sure on a huge glass, but it doesn't taste bad.
The mouthfeel is nice and light, with a bit of drying on the end. The drinkability does suffer here though, as expected. The first 4.5% alcohol brew that I'd ever call a sipper. I'd take a four or six ounce serving with gusto, but 12 ounces, or (god forbid) a whole pint is just too much. Overall, this is a lot better than I expected though. The concept actually works. Don't expect many "beery" flavors though, but it's surely a lot more complex and enjoyable than a Smirnoff Ice Apple Twist or what have you. Taken on it's own merits, it's a pretty good beer.

I am not sure what compelled me to check this out other than the fact that I sort of like Pumpkinhead. I have it once a year, a few weeks before Halloween to get it out of my system so I can appreciate some of the better pumpkin beers that are around. Before I drank Applehead, I approached it with the same sort of curiosity and was assuming that I wouldn't have much more than the one pint.
I was right.
This beer tastes similar to Pumpkinhead, but is about a hundred times sweeter. Getting through the pint was very tough. My palette was being assaulted from all angles by the same stuff I would get in a quick coffee shop chai, but carbonated, and with that beer aftertaste. It was not good. The beer looked promising too. Very dark and brown for a wheat ale. Looked very mysterious. Looks can be deceiving.
I'd give Applehead the green light just as long as you can brush and mouthwash completely afterwards, unless you enjoy the feeling that your teeth might rot out of your head. It's just way too over the top, and not in a good way.
I'll stick with my yearly Pumpkinhead.

Had on tap at New World Tavern--Plymouth, served into a pint glass
Appearance: 1/2 inch head, straw yellow in color, clear, moderate carbonation
Smell: cinnamon, apples, and toasted malt
Taste: toasted malt, cinnamon, and caramel in the forefront . This could just as easily be called Cinnamon head..faint apples at the end..the after taste is where the apples shine--almost like a green Jolly Rancher
Mouthfeel: very sweet, moderate carbonation, light bodied, very clean
Overall: Normally I like session beers, but I feel this one could use the imperialization that their pumpkin beer did. That turned an undrinkable beer into a bold pumpkin ale. On the face of it, this is a lighter version of their pumpkin beer and with a slight touch of apple and even more cinnamon. It is way more drinkable than Pumpkinhead just because of its lightness and lack of any off tastes. I actually wish the sweet apple was brought out a bit more. This could be like 21st Amendment's Watermelon Ale if the fruity taste was allowed to shine. Instead what is left is a drinkable, but very easily passed over beer.

I was at a company Xmas party, and there was an open bar. I figured I'd try a pint of this, because I knew that I'd never pay for this beer. Orange colored body, with very little head. Not much carbonation, and no lacing. Smelled like a glass of fruit punch, which is not attractive for a beer. Taste was overpowered by the flavor of fake apple concentrate. It completely dominated the beer, and made this beer a one-note joke. Mouthfeel was overly sweet. I don't know why Shipyard would release such a monstrosity of a beer. If they wanted to brew up a cider, then bottle a cider. An apple flavored beer just does not work.

On-tap 12/11/2011 at Doherty's East Ave Irish Pub, in Pawtucket, RI served in a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a deep gold color with a thin white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin on the glass.
S: The aroma contains cinnamon up front along with apples, light caramelized malts and a touch of hops.
T: The taste likewise starts out with a big burst of cinnamon followed by flavors of apples and caramel. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy. The hops presence is mild but complementary and brings some balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet.
M: Smooth and crisp, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
D: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, mild kick, decent representation of style when you consider that it's simply Pumpkinhead only with apples instead.

As a disclaimer, I love Shipyard, and always will, but... my Lord, oh Mainers from my north, what were you thinking?
The pour gave little to no head, the smell was less apple and more of a stale cider. The slight apple after taste is the best thing I can say about this very dry attempt at a apple ale.

Offered a bottle at a party, and couldn't pass up the opportunity to try this potential mess of a brew. Keeping as open of a mind as possible, I poured into a Sam Adams glass.
Pretty pale pour with a solid, regenerating head. Carbonation is a bit heavy.
Aroma is apple-forward, as expected, with some generic fall spice as well. It could definitely be confused with a dry hard cider just by smell.
The taste is dominated by apple and sweetness. Good golly, this thing is sweet, with a touch of granny smith apple sourness. This is a liquified Jolly Rancher. The only thing that differentiates it from a cheapie hard cider is the super-carbonation, and the fact that it finishes clean and not at all sticky like a Cider Jack or some other sugar bomb cider.
Again, the clean finish and lack of stickiness was surprising, but it seems to clean up nice. It tastes like a Jolly Rancher, but doesn't leave your teeth hurting with sugariness.
This beer will certainly appeal to a certain crowd. It's a curious brew, and not one that I will revisit.

Map of Glen Ridge, New Jersey
Date | March 1, 1989 |
Location | Glen Ridge, New Jersey |
Charges | Gang rape |
Verdict | Guilty |
In 1989 a mentally handicapped girl was raped with a broomstick and a baseball bat by members of the Glen Ridge High School football team in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. This event attracted nationwide attention, mainly due to the perception that the assailants had been given special treatment by the school and local authorities due to their status as local football stars. The events were later documented in a book and TV movie.
The assault occurred on March 1, 1989. The victim left her house the afternoon of the incident to go play basketball in Cartaret Park. On the way, she found a stick which she decided to keep. When she arrived at the park, many of the school's athletes were there, either watching or participating in an informal baseball practice. One of the boys came over to her, and asked her to come down to a basement of a nearby house for a party. The house was adjacent to the park and the owners were in Florida, with only the grandmother being home at that time.
After initially refusing, she agreed when told her that the boy's brother, (whom she had a crush on), would go on a date with her. He put his arm around the victim and escorted her to the basement. When they reached the basement, 12 boys from the park were there. After some conversation, one of the boys removed his pants and underpants and the victim removed her shirt. At this point, a sophomore and another underclassman left. A total of six boys left while the victim undressed.
Seven boys stayed, all football players, and all seniors bar one. The victim was then orally raped. She was forced to bend over and the boys took turns vaginally penetrating her. The victim was then penetrated with a broom by two of those present, and she was penetrated with a baseball bat. The broom and bat were covered with plastic bags coated with Vaseline. At one point during the rape, one of the athletes passively suggested that they stop. The victim did not resist because she thought that letting these boys do these things to her would make them like her and want to be her friend. After it was over, she promised not to tell, in a kind of team cheer/pact. She then waited outside the house for a long time, waiting for the promised date, which never happened.
A number of boys later attempted to get the victim to come down to the basement a second time to repeat the incident. The first staff member to report the incident was a teacher who overheard a student discussing the rumors with a classmate. The student had been asked earlier to videotape a planned second incident (which never took place). The vice principal then called the police on March 22, three weeks after the assault occurred. Police interviewed the vice principal and the victim's swim coach, the latter of whom had heard about the incident from the victim herself three days after the incident. Detective Lieutenant Richard Corcoran (Sr.) put Detective Sheila Byron in charge of investigating the case. Byron's main focus was to establish if the victim had given consent, or whether she was incapable of giving consent.
During her interviews with the victim, it became clear to Byron that the victim did not even really understand exactly what had happened to her, so she would not have known she could say no. During the investigation, it became clear that the victim still wanted the athletes to like her, and that she did not want to get them in trouble.
Byron realized she would need independent corroboration, because the victim might not make a convincing witness in a trial. The prosecutor's office officially became involved with the investigation on April 7, and officially took control on April 12.[1]
First public reports[edit]
The first public report of the incident was on May 23, 1989, by the local NBC station WNBC-TV. Over the next few days the story was picked up in newspapers across the United States and Canada. The New York Times and Washington Post ran their first articles regarding the incident on May 25, 1989,[2][3] the same day the story was picked up by newspapers in Lewiston, Maine[4] and Spokane, Washington.[5] The Toronto Star became the first foreign newspaper to carry the story on May 26,[6] the same day the story hit newspapers in northern Alabama[7] and Tampa Bay, Florida.[8]
Trial and verdict[edit]
After a twenty-three week long trial three of the former high school football players from Glen Ridge (Christopher Archer, Kyle Scherzer, and Kevin Scherzer) were convicted on charges of sexually assaulting the victim with a baseball bat and a broom handle after enticing her into a basement with the promise of a date in March 1989. A fourth defendant (Bryant Grober) was convicted of one count of conspiracy and acquitted of other charges. The defendants were acquitted of aggravated sexual assault charges.[9]
Our Guys[edit]
Bernard Lefkowitz wrote a book about the Glen Ridge Rape called Our Guys: The Glen Ridge Rape and the Secret Life of the Perfect Suburb. The book attributes many of the problems with the football players to the society's (as well as the town's and the parents') heavy influence on winning and success rather than on personal character. The book was later adapted into a TV movie.
Television movie[edit]
The events of the Glen Ridge Rape were adapted into a television movie called Our Guys: Outrage at Glen Ridge[10] which premiered on ABC in 1999, and is occasionally shown on Lifetime.[11] The film, directed by Guy Ferland, stars Ally Sheedy, Eric Stoltz, and Heather Matarazzo, and is an adaptation of Bernard Lefkowitz's book. The rape scene of the film was toned down due to the film being on broadcast television. Some of the things described in Lefkowitz's book were left out of the film. The film renamed several characters and invented some new ones. The film also altered the time-line of events, moving the time of the rape being reported in the Fall (it is football season and the film opens on homecoming night), when in reality the rape was reported in the Spring.
