10 College Basketball Coaches Who Deserve Coal in Their Stocking
10 College Basketball Coaches Who Deserve Coal in Their Stocking
With each and every college basketball season, some teams and coaches make early statements, rising up the rankings and exceeding preseason expectations. On the flip side of that discussion there are the teams that disappoint to begin the year, maybe taking some time to develop chemistry and playing as one, while others are simply listed as overrated.
The 2012-13 college basketball season has teams on both sides of the fence and with it comes their respected coaches who face the uncertainty of getting their players and teams back on track. With the Christmas holiday approaching early this week, we can look back at college basketball's first two months and take a peek into just which coaches are performing or under performing.
From the sub .500 winning percentages to records that just seem off considering preseason hype, there are a number of coaches who need to right their ship with the new year and conference portion of the schedule approaching.
There is plenty of time for some of the coaches listed in this slideshow to change the course of the team's respected starts to the season, but for others, hot seats may be developing rather quickly.
Santa may not be all that happy with the job performances of some coaches around the country and with stocking across the nation awaiting his arrival, let's take a look at ten college basketball coaches for deserve coal on Tuesday morning.
Paul Seaver is the College Basketball Network Manager at Rant Sports. You can follow him on Twitter: @PaulSeaverRS
Bo Ryan-Wisconsin
Record: 7-4
Wisconsin doesn't really have any bad losses this season, but at 7-4 overall, the Badgers appear to lack the true toughness and defensive ability that Bo Ryan's squad are consistently known for. The lack of a true point guard doesn't help either, but Wisconsin has some work to do if they hope to dance in March.
Rick Barnes-Texas
Record: 7-5
I'm going to give Rick Barnes and Texas the benefit of the doubt because they have a win over North Carolina on their resume and the loss of star point guard Myck Kabongo certainly isn't helping. However, the Longhorns have lost five of their first 12 games and have looked awful at times. One of those five losses came at the hands of Chaminade, so that's worth a lump of coal to begin with.
Anthony Grant-Alabama
Record: 7-4
Anthony Grant would not have been on this list if coal was handed out during the Thanksgiving holiday, but how funny it can be as the calendar changes. Alabama has lost four of its past five games, including a recent defeat at the hands of Mercer. Grant needs to figure things out quickly with SEC play approaching fast.
Bob Huggins-West Virginia
Record: 5-5
Bob Huggins certainly isn't on the hot seat by any means, but a 5-5 start doesn't help his case with Santa. The loss of Kevin Jones from a season ago has been more than Huggins probably bargained for, but there is still time for West Virginia to figure it out.
Matt Painter-Purdue
Record: 5-6
Well, let's be serious, expectations for Purdue were not as high as they have been in recent years, but Matt Painter squad may struggle to finish above .500 this season. Just how competitive can the Boilermakers be in a league that is being considered the best in the nation?
Kevin O'Neill-USC
Record: 4-8
USC is still trying to figure things out with a roster loaded with newcomers, but let's be serious, things are already better than they were a year ago. However, that doesn't mean that Kevin O'Neill doesn't deserve coal in his stocking again in 2012. A loss to UC-Irvine is enough to warrant that and that's just one of eight losses before the Christmas holiday.
Blaine Taylor-Old Dominion
Record: 1-10
Old Dominion certainly doesn't have the toughness and potential that they have had in recent memory, but at 1-10 overall to begin the season, coal is coming for head coach Blaine Taylor. It's already been a rough start to what will likely be a long year for the Monarchs.
Ben Howland-UCLA
Record: 8-3
UCLA's record isn't bad, but Ben Howland hasn't helped his case despite winning eight of the team's first 11 games. A highly-touted freshman class and increased expectations have been grounded already this year, as reports of Howland's job security have recently surfaced.

UPDATE 4-Barclays seeks $9 bln from shareholders to appease regulator

* Shares close 5.7 percent lower (Adds comments from investors)
By Steve Slater and Matt Scuffham
LONDON, July 30 (Reuters) - Barclays is raising 5.8 billion pounds ($8.9 billion) from its shareholders to help plug a larger-than-expected capital shortfall identified by Britain's financial regulator at the bank.
The Bank of England's Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) said on Tuesday Barclays needed an extra 12.8 billion pounds to strengthen its capital reserves against potential market shocks.
That was higher than an estimate of about 7 billion a month ago, due mainly to tougher European rules on the way banks measure risks.
The PRA gave the 320-year-old bank a year to fill the gap, requiring it to turn to shareholders to speed up its plan to rebuild capital.
"I think they've done the right thing. Anything else would have been a fudge, they needed to get on and raise equity," said Mike Trippitt, analyst at Numis Securities.
Barclays, Britain's third-biggest bank and the sixth-largest in Europe, announced the fundraising alongside another 2 billion pound charge for mis-selling products and said it was also pushing back a profitability target.
Banks across Europe are battling to meet tougher regulations aimed at preventing a repeat of the financial crisis, and many are also struggling to move on from past misdeeds. Deutsche Bank , for example, missed second-quarter profit forecasts on Tuesday, hit by higher legal costs.
Barclays also continues to be haunted by a fundraising with Qatari investors in 2008, which is being investigated by British and U.S. authorities. The bank said Britain's Financial Conduct Authority made preliminary findings against it on June 27, which it is contesting.
Barclays Chief Executive Antony Jenkins said he was reacting "quickly and decisively" to the PRA's demands and the regulator was happy with his plan. It also includes selling 2 billion pounds of bonds that convert into equity or are wiped out if the bank hits trouble, and shrinking loans by a further 65-80 billion pounds or more, notably in the investment bank.
"What we're doing today is all about certainty...it's about certainty on capital, certainty on timing and certainty on conduct risk. That's what really matters to shareholders," said Jenkins, who took over last August.
Standard Life, one of the biggest investors in Barclays and the UK stock market, criticised regulators for a "lack of stability or consistency" in capital requirements.
The regulatory regime "appears both capricious and hostile to banks and is in consequence raising the cost of capital for the banking sector," said David Cumming, head of equities at Standard Life Investments.
Another of the 20 largest investors in Barclays said the bank's strained relationship with its regulator in the past had probably not helped. "I do slightly wonder whether they are paying the price for the hubris of the past," he said.
Rights issues cut earnings per share, and Barclays shares closed 5.7 percent lower at 290.3 pence, the weakest performance in the European bank index.
The rights issue, the biggest by a British bank since 2009, will offer shareholders one new share at 185 pence - 40 percent below Monday's closing price - for every four currently owned.
It will raise the equivalent of 15 percent of Barclays' market value and allow existing shareholders to buy discounted shares first, giving them a chance to maintain their stakes and avoiding the criticism that the 2008 fundraising was too generous to new investors.
Regulators are increasing scrutiny of leverage ratios, which do not rely on banks' own risk assessments but express a bank's capital as a proportion of its overall assets.
Barclays said the PRA had estimated its leverage ratio at 2.2 percent at the end of June, lower than the 2.5 percent estimated last month, and compared with the regulator's goal for banks to have a ratio of at least 3 percent by June 2014.
Barclays said it was pushing back its target to deliver a return on equity above its cost of equity - previously 11.5 percent - to 2016, a year later than Jenkins set out in a far-reaching restructuring unveiled in February.
But it bumped up its dividend payout expectations, saying it planned to distribute 40-50 percent of earnings in 2014 compared with the 30 percent previously predicted.
Barclays set aside another 1.35 billion pounds to compensate customers mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI), taking its total provision for that to 4 billion pounds.
British banks have now put aside more than 15 billion pounds to cover PPI compensation, and Barclays' latest move signals rivals may have to bump up provisions too.
Barclays also set aside 650 million pounds more for mis-selling complex interest rate hedging products to small firms.
The bank reported a pretax profit of 1.7 billion pounds for the six months ended June, almost double its 871 million pound profit a year ago. Its adjusted pretax profit was 3.6 billion pounds, just below the average forecast of 3.7 billion.
It was cautious on the outlook and operating environment and said it would speed up cost-cutting. The bank spent 640 million pounds on restructuring in the first half.
Barclays will pay about 130 million pounds in fees and commission on the underwritten rights issue. The offer will be launched in September, and new shares are due to be issued on Oct. 3.

text: When I was called little brother, I smiled. It meant I have an elder sibling. One from whom I could learn, To discern, Between Light and Dark. What about the Grey? Only a few would about the grey; Enquire. Even fewer, Perhaps none Would even begin to aspire, Is grey the divider? What is a divider? A partition, A separation, A barrier. In essence a carrier, Of both dark and Light; Having both thane sight! The grey is never contrite, It does and will do on sight!!! Come with your purported might! Closer… Closer… Unseen seen chaos, These are my instruments, Your might;;; Will be eaten as sacrements. For continual human growth within, Mistakes rectified by the elder or role model; Taught the current crop must be, Lessons are as seeds;;; Planted into our mother, Blending with Earth, Water and Sun, The seed transmutes and soon the seed has had its fun, A plant is now the end product. We humans are also ever transforming, Perhaps not as apparent as natural beauty forming, But what is natural beauty? What is beauty? Random randominity is beauty natural, Random beauty is natural randominity, Natural randominity is random beauty, Beautiful randominity randoms naturally, In essence; Culturally cultural. Not an over-spill, Providence shines. Understanding and comprehension, In succession, For thee. The trick however is to pass on that understanding and comprehension. But how do you do that? When most of the generation is tuned to the Playstation! Violent games evocating the continuation Of our disgusting violent nation. Perhaps attempt to not scold or tell; Allow thane actions to speak wonders, As an undiscovered well. Keep the resonance of thane bell, Consistant. Perhaps another revolutionary, Your prodige has to be selectant, Of his student, his confectionary. Without this passing down of knowledge, We all might as well eat the most poisonous berry.

Part of Outsports' series on our 100 most important moments in gay sports history.
Golf, 1996. Few out lesbian athletes have experienced more professional success than Muffin Spencer-Devlin. She was a three-time tournament winner on the LPGA Tour in the mid-to-late '80s. She is in the top 100 on the Tour's all-time money list (at just over $1 million in winnings). Her career spanned from 1979-2000, and she has five top-25 finishes at Major championships on the Tour.
The Sports Illustrated article that defined her coming out, dated March 18, 1996, was a revelation. LPGA commissioner Jim Ritts spoke about embracing a lesbian on the Tour like you'd expect someone now, 15 years later, to do so:
I don't think I'm naive, but I don't have any concerns about this. I know there are still individuals who have problems with diversity, but we've come so far as a society that I don't see this as a topic that really moves people.
Spencer-Devlin told SI she was coming out for personal reasons, not to become the "mouthpiece" for lesbian athletes. She has since lived openly, proudly, but quietly as a ground-breaking lesbian in the world of sports.
She has retired from golf and now lives in Laguna, Calif., where she has taken up glass-blowing. Her two passions came together when she was asked to design the Kia Classic Trophy; You can watch a fascinating video of Spencer-Devlin producing the trophy below.

Welcome to the Austen Project, a British scheme to update Jane Austen's sacred lifework — again. This time, well-known authors have been employed to hustle her characters into the 21st century. The Janeites, as her followers are known, may well chain themselves to the publishing house door, but perhaps Jane is smiling from her corner of heaven's drawing room.
Joanna Trollope, the author of many wonderfully readable novels focusing on the ups and downs of British middle-class lives, drew the "Sense and Sensibility" card, and has produced the debut volume in this new series. (Curtis Sittenfeld will bring "Pride & Prejudice" into the present in fall 2014, and Alexander McCall Smith is at work on "Emma.")

I am somewhat disappointed with the Origami 2. For all the square footage it covers the outer edges are very low and essentially unusable. The five required stakes also have to be in the just the right spots to apply even tension on the 5 panels.
BUT; it is light. No poles other than the hiking pole I carry anyway.
I can pitch it in a downpour and just crawl under it, unlike soaking the tent body before I get a fly up.
This tarp can be suspended from a tripod of 7 ft sticks or a guy line between two trees, freeing internal space.
I will probably buy the fitted ground sheet at some point, if only to keep my toes from slipping out from under the canopy and into the rain and not having to spend so much time inspecting possible runoff paths prior to setup.
I have not tried it in high wind or snow, yet.

3.98/5 rDev +4.5%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: cloudy amber in color with a 1" head. No lacing develops.
Smell: loads of fruit and some farmhouse funk rise from the glass.
Taste: apples, pears, green grapes, somne caramel, touch of sourness, some mild funkiness, and a soft bitterness make up a different kind of saison than one expects.
Mouthfeel: lightly crsip throughout. Medium bodied. Aftertaste is short as the fruitiness comes through the most.
Drinkability: this one is more of a slow sipping saison. Definitely worth grabbing a bottle of this.

3.8/5 rDev -0.3%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Belgian bomber, caged and corked, no freshness info to be taken in. Pours dark and murky for a saison, dark tan head, with good staying power, then leaves a load of ringed, froth and then lace. The nose is just moderately of some earthiness and perhaps some lazy yeast in the background. On the malty side for a saison, this one lacks some of the guiding traits that make saison the popular style that it is. Light on the spice, funky barnyard and yeasty intrigue. I do get plenty of maple infused malts, some light holiday type spicing, some heady warming alcohol and a moderately floral hoppy final wave. Decent stuff, nothing special, a bit of a disappointment, especially from Deproef, who have turned out some special brews over the years.

3.95/5 rDev +3.7%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.5
Crystal clear and bright orange amber color, thick bubbly frothy off-white head leaves a crown of lace on the glass. Aromas of lemon grass, turmeric, ripe melon, parsley, tart plum and musty hay. Alcohol is quite noticeable in the nose. Big viscous smoothness and crispness rolls slowly through the full body. A bit creamy and slick in the mouth feel. Caramelized malt sugar, grainy horse feed like malt flavor, earthy with a hint of mineral and salt and sweet cooked veggies in the back. Alcohol is a bit flamboyant with fruity esters in tow, ripe pineapple and papaya come to mind. A complex herbal phenolic slowly peels away layers as it warms up a bit more with each sip. Suggestions of pumpkin seeds, pepper corns and starchy plantains. A little buttery, stripped hop character appear middle to end. Finishes with a deep grassy grain flavor that runs semi-sweet.
A complex beer for the mature palate ... or simply an acquired taste. Any true Belgian beer lover will appreciate if not have high regards for this ale. Unlike all Saison I have ever tried, think one part Saison plus one part Quad and this is what you will probably end up with. I broke out a wedge of creamy Danish blue and fig spread with the rest of the sample, with a beer like this blue is always a good choice.

3.48/5 rDev -8.7%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3
Clear dark amber colored ale with a very tall and lasting tan head, very dark for the beer style.
Smell is "Belgian Farm House Funk" with apple, lemon, plum, and allspice in the mix. Fainter coriander and ginger aromas and a Touch of Sour Flanders Red Ale.
The taste starts out sweet and woody with a bit of a bitter aftertaste at first. Cork and lemon on second taste and the herbal bitterness gets stronger, a lot like Italian bitter aperitifs. Tropical aftertaste, mainly pineapple and papaya.
Mouthfeel is Good.
Something like a Saison crossed with a Flanders Red to this tongue. It's OK but I will get Hennepin next time.

Pours a very dark cloudy amber color with golden orange hues when held to a light source and a thick two finger yellowish head. Decent retention, only slowly fading into a lasting ring that leaves splotches of soapy lacing behind.
Slightly earthy, funky aroma with slight maltiness, dark fruit notes, oak and spice. Bready yeast, clove, coriander, banana, apple and pear in the nose.
Medium bodied that's on the fuller end of the spectrum with a surprising amount of chocolate maltiness along with a very prominent peppery/coriander spice character. Earthy oak with a slight tart sour funkiness that is balanced out by dark fruit notes, especially dark cherry. Soft carbonation up front that lingers over a funky sweetness midpalate into a lingering dry finish. Complex and pretty quaffable.

A: Dark tawny color, non-translucent, with a soft pillowy light tan head of generous size is slow to lapse while leaving thick spongey coating for a lacing. When held to the light a dense showering of micro-bubbles is aided by my etched duvel glass with a extreme rapid rate of rise.
S: Musky oranges, light worty notes with some cellar like dampness of fruit and pears. The finish is topped of by a faint peppery spiciness. Overall the strength was light, bordering on medium which was a slight disappointment for an imperial style labeling.
T: Rich caramel base with complimentary fruity tones of cantaloupe, fresh pears and miscellaneous notes of damp fruitiness. Sweet caramel, apples with some toasty warm munich malt is finished of with a spritzy, almost seltzer like carbonation that brings some life to the situation with a fade of peppery spiciness. The beer comes off with a bigger malt base then usual per style, with some sugary rum cane moments and chocolate. The touch of brettamyoces is nice, never overbearing and used as a compliment to the ale yeast to give it just the right amount of musky quality. Dried caramel nuttiness rounds things out here.
M: Lively mouthful from the overly active carbonation. Beautifuly malt base and forward beer with a medium dense state. Slippery smooth with a boozy malt finish.
D: A bit acidic but not so much per style, with a bit of alcohol. Smooth making for a moderate sipper, but with Fantomes and Duponts being commercially available in my area I find it hard to justify spending money (esp. $15) on a bomber that was just good, but ultimately falls short of the two fore-mentioned staples per style which are at par or even in some instances cheaper.

Saison Imperiale - Belgian Farmhouse Ale
De Proefbrouwerij (bvba Andelot)
Pours a dirty gold bordering on light tan. Decent amount of froth forms and recedes fairly quickly. In the nose, Belgian yeast esters, mild fruity notes, brett, and some earthy/musty farmhouse aromas as well. In the taste, tempered fruit notes (fig, pear, plum) as well as a little brett funk but not really tart or sour. Caramel, toffee, even banana flavors emerge. A beer full of nice complexities that make this beer a sipper. Soft woody hop bitterness, and just a hint of alcohol. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, semi-dry, and a clean finish. Overall, a really nice effort, a perfect night cap.

Picked this up at Green's on Ponce in Atlanta.
Pours a turbid dark orange color with a big two-finger head. The head sticks around for a while before settling into a thin pancake of bubbles on top and a thick ring around the glass. Nice lacing is left all the way down.
Smells more like a quad than anything, with Belgian candy sugar and a yeast funk, but it's also joined by a grassy aroma.
Tastes very good. Again, more like a quad than a saison up front, with light and dark fruits mixing and sweet Belgian candy sugar. As it warms, the malt asserts itself more and there's definitely a grassy twang.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a good thickness with active carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I had no problem finishing this one and wish I'd bought the big bottle.
Overall, there's a lot of stuff going on in this beer and the flavors change slightly with every sip. An interesting "Belgian saison" that's definitely worth a shot.

From the 750ml cork and wired bottle it pours a slightly cloudy golden amber color with a substantial head that is white and creamy, it slowly fades leaving a fine velum like coating on the glass. Nose is rich in malt, sweet with a sour musky tone, spicy and citrus like in its crispness, start is nicely malted, and sweet with a tangy bite at the back, top is light to medium in feel. Finish has a biting acidity, the hops present and accounted for; tart dry aftertaste lingers long on the palate, a fine drinking beer and certainly a credit to the style. (Note): after decanting the beer, the pour was completely cloudy golden amber, with the dregs increasing the musty sour aroma.

Of the newer beers available from De Proef, this is my least favorite. It is by no means a terrible beer, I just think they missed the mark for a Saison. Pours amber with a decent initial head that fades to a swirly cap that leaves some minimal lacing. Darker than most Saisons, but it is a broad category. Smells sweet/sour with aromas of cellared apples and a touch of balsamic, old fruit, and orange marmalade. No peppery snap that I like to see in a Saison. The taste also heavily leans on overly ripe fruit, very similar to the aromas, with the addition of apricots and persimmons. Again, no crispness, spice, or peppery snap, and without that it seems a little too sweet and tires the palate too quickly. I enjoy this less the more I drink of it. Give me any Fantome over this beer any day- they make plenty of examples with similar abv to this one that ccould also be called "Imperial" but vome across as much more complete, bold, and balanced.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle into a St. Feuillien goblet, the Saison Imperiale is a bright garnet color with a small but persistent white head. There are active streamers rising from the bottom, and there is a bit of scattered lace.
The aroma on this is moderate at best, sugary and musty, caramel and a discernible, but not off-putting funk. Letting it warm opens up lots of bread and fusels.
The taste is heavy on the candi sugar, initially reminding me of a belgian style micro, but with a dry, highly attenuated finish, as well as a very musty bite, boarding skunky. I like wild brews, but something about this one just doesn't seem to work, maybe because of the sugar. There are hints of dark fruits and honey trying to fight through the earthiness, and a bit of biscuit maltiness. There is also a fusel bite on the finish that could have been better executed. Overall, I liked the taste more then that description probably sounds, and when I stopped trying to categorize this beer and just drank it, I began to enjoy it more. I should note that when reviewing, especially from a 750ml, I ususally start with the first beer, then just drink it for a while, and then update any text and score it for the last 1/2 glass. On that note, as this warmed, there was more honey, and fusels.
The mouthfeel is dry and minerally, but still a bit sugary, tempered by spitzers of carbonation that stayed lively throughout.
The drinkability on this one is average. It was pretty interesting, and after 750ml I'm still not sure I have my head around it. That being said, it wasn't so great that I'd want to spend to much more time cracking it's code. Still, pretty good, and an interesting experience. But not my favorite Saison, nor what I was expecting. When I want a rich Saison, I'll take an Avec Les Bons Voeux over this every time, or most any Fantome for that matter.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours very hazy very dark reddish brown color with a small 1 finger foamy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Decent spotty lacing clings on the glass. The cork hardly popped when I opened it, probably pushing 4 years or more in age. Aromas of caramel, toffee, molasses, prune, raisin, toast, pepper, earth, and big phenolic yeast esters. Aromas aren't very pleasant at all; very stale and unbalanced feeling. Taste of caramel, toffee, molasses, prune, toast, biscuit, raisin, earth, herbal, grass, and light yeast spiciness. Lingering notes of caramel, molasses, toffee, toast, biscuit, dark fruits, herbal, earth, and light yeast spices on the finish for a good bit. Pretty good flavor balance and complexity; but it feels more like a Belgian dark ale than a saison. Flavors were not as robust as I was expecting; no cloying sweetness. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a fairly creamy and slick mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with pretty much no warming noticed at all after the finish. Overall this is a pretty solid dark Belgian saison. The aromas were pretty bad, but the taste turned out alright. Fairly enjoyable, if only they dated these bottles.

Pours a cloudy orange-ish copper, with a fluffy tan head. In the aroma, yeasty and a small tart green apple. In the taste, just like the aroma, small tart green apple, and a nice yeasty taste. A small tart bite, and a medium mouthfeel, with a dry, tart green apple aftertaste. A great saison, good flavor and mellow, and doesn't taste like 8.5%.

Autumn bronze gold color with a massive crown of dark beige foam that never moves. Impressive. Lacing is a lather of leftover sticky foam that coats the glass thickly.
Soft but alluringly complex nose with some dark earthy spices, fruits, and grasses. Quite musty as well with some rum raisin bread, a touch of dirty wood, all spice, and a pinch of cinnamon.
Taste is of paled breadyness and light fruity tang of dark malts. Some raisin and dates softly display a bit of dark tangyness. Caramel and molasses seep in as just a nudge of some the earthy grasses and spice tinge towards the finish as it stays mostly sweeter throughout. A bit drab overall on the taste and a bit muddled. However I do like it, but the complexity I found in the nose wasn't as prevalently showcased as I would like on the taste.
Body is a fluffy sweet medium with some malty tangyness creating a soft and smooth roundness with just a touch of grass and spice along the edges to make it interesting. Reminds more of a bakery with its bready flow and cookie spices as it goes along.
A OK to good Saison that's more on the malty side, which I tend to favor in this style.

A: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a brown color and a thick consistency. There was a quarter inch of foamy head and solid lacing.
S: Smelled of Belgian yeast, some fruit and spices.
T: Not exactly what I expected. Taste consisted of dark fruit, Belgian yeast and malt. Another reviewer said this was more like a quadrupel than a saison. That's pretty accurate.
M: A nicely carbonated beer with a smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
D: On the whole, a drinkable beer, though not as complex or in character as other saisons I've tried. Not bad, though.

A nice, hazy mahogany-brown with a fairly decent-sized but not too persistent head. Aroma is strong and malty, and has an overtone of fruit, mainly apple. Flavor is rich and fruity, sweet but not cloying, with just a touch of hops and hints of caramel and nutty taste. Finish is smooth and very satisfying.

look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 2.5
Appearance: Pours a surprisingly dark but clear amber, pretty unlike any saison I've seen. The head rises to about three fingers height and has great retention.
Smell: Extremely estery; berries, figs, dates, a hint of spice (nutmeg, allspice).
Taste/mouthfeel: Lots of estery dark fruit here, leaning toward the berry and fig flavors. The body is fairly light despite the high ABV, and I'd guess that this was significantly lower in alcohol if not for the slight heat that shows up in the finish. Sweet berry-like flavors continue right on through the finish - where's the dryness? This isn't a bad brew overall (nor is it great), but it's lacking all of the qualities that I look for in a saison.
Notes: A disappointing beer from a generally good brewery.

Pours a surprisingly dark amber color with a typically huge, fluffy saison-esque head. Just like the color of the brew, the foam is very dark for the style...I dont remember it being so dark last time I had a bottle. Excellent mountainous retention and sticky lacing.
Nose is mostly sweet base malts, alcohol and a bit of saison funk, but not enough for me.
Boozy malts and woody Belgian funk are foremost in the flavor. For me, this beer does not taste very saison-like, but it is an enjoyable beer nonetheless. Maybe more like a Belgian Strong Dark ale blended with a Farmhouse ale. Toffee malts give it an earthy funk enhancer, while the grainy malts remind me more of a kolsch. Alcohol is a bit much as well. Overall, it tastes good, but DeProef has better beers out there.

Poured into my Goose Island tulip a deep burnished copper. Very reminiscent of a lot of Fantome's offerings. Nice head with strong retention and good lacing, but decreases as the beer warms The aroma is a sweeter, malty version of my pre-conception of a saison. Very caramelly. This is one of the sweetest and maltiest saisons I've ever had. Very unique, and you can taste and feel the alcohol on the palate. This saison would be awesome if the alcohol wasn't as present. This sweet saison still maintained a much lighter natural, earthy feel than most other saisons. A little tough to wanna ghave another after you had a bottle with your meal. Very glad I tried though.

Presentation: 750ml tall thin necked brown bottle sealed with a silver cage, black steel cap and a simple thumbed artificial newcork which is plain looking except for a relief code of 25D.3 on its underside. Main label has a beige colored background with the words Saison Imperiale Belgian Farmhouse Ale. Listed as De Proef-Brouwerij Brewmasters Collection Special Reserve on the top part of the label. The main picture is one of a quiet Thatched Flanders Farmhouse. Listed at 8.5% ABV. No discernible Freshness Date, but it has a smudged code on the plastic newcork.
Appearance: Ruddy amber with some deep polished coppery tones. Monster deep head besets a ¼ finished off-white head which laces with a serene scattered Milky Way set of depleted rings which deposits with each mouthful. Streamer laden body shines with a russet sunset glow when backlit. Carbonation is resilient and produces a fine appearance with a little agitation from each mouthful to keep things alive.
Nose: Lots of sweet caramel and some tannic fruits. Sweaty funk is soaked in crab apples and the barley sugar finish detracts at times. Yet fading Strawberries and other red berries punctuate the massed sweetness. Strange yet intriguing nose beguiles and fascinates. Nothing special but very nice.
Taste: Spiced malts, caramel body thins in the middle as a slight bitterness rides high against lactic tannins and brown sugar soaked in cold tea. Deft fruits are moldy and fade quickly. Saisons are delicate, even the powerful ones, but this one is far too bold, the residual Saison therefore ends up being suppressed and it ultimately means that this fails, rather spectacularly.
Mouthfeel: The body has only the mildest hint at an average feel, but the sweet sugary aspects fail to bolster anything more than a not-good-but-not-bad texture. Ultimately, for an 8.5% brew this one disappoints.
Drinkability: Not that impressed by this one, its OK, but I think that its biggest detraction is that this is not that sure what it really wants to be, Im not sure either, I mean a Saison Imperiale!??! You see, its not the just the American brewers that push the boundaries, but some things just dont work, no matter where the origins. And this, for me, doesnt work its like a 20lb Hummingbird, it just doesnt fly.
Overall: It is a Quarter to Half Past 12 and Computer Says No <Urghurrhh>; I want that one, but not this one.

A: Pours an opaque amber/brown color. A large beige head of over two fingers forms. As the rocky, and frothy head recedes, rings of sticky lace are left.
S: Like all De Proef beers, a great medley of fruits. Lots of dark fruits of plums, raisins, melons, ect. That lovely barnyard funk that I love so much for the style as well.
T: At first a big caramel and sugary malt flavor. A bit odd for a Saison. A good fruitiness that follows the nose. Not as much of a barnyard flavor as I was expecting though. Still, the flavors work well together.
M/D: A full body that is low on the carbonation, which is a bit out of style. Though I love the rich creaminess that I don't get much of with Saison's. At well over 8%, this is so smooth and easy to drink. If I am not careful, I can do more than sip on this.
I love this beer. I am not sure I would call this a Saison though. Maybe a Belgian Strong Ale? I guess that is why it is Saison Imperial. A new style perhaps? What ever you want to call, it is very tasty. Something I would highly recommend.

750ml bottle into an Old Engine Oil snifter. Thanks to vonschplieffen for sharing.
A: Hazy deep amber body with a dense tan head. Ok retention, spotty lace. Not bad looking, but way too dark for the style.
S: Sweet candied fruit and not much else. Caramel apple, some plum, and a bit of grassiness. Not that good for a Saison. A Tripel, maybe, but never a Saison.
T: Follows the nose - super sweet, fruity, and sugary. Nothing but candy. Meh.
M: Medium body, moderate amount of creamy carbonation. Great.
O: This was a disappointment, as it was WAY too sweet for the style, and the Brett really didn't add much of anything. It was mediocre for a sweet beer, and decidedly underwhelming for a Saison.

Thanks again to Thirstybird for the opportunity to try this. Poured a hazy garnet with a quarter inch, frothy head embedded with ringlets. Head eventually dissipates into a skim. Nose reveals caramel, sour cherry, a little malt with some medicinal qualities at the back. Taste follows nose, but medicinal quality really comes out in the flavor; however the flanders red character stated on the bottle label makes an appearance towards the back. Mouthfeel was just shy of medium-bodied and a little bit too effervescent with a slightly tart finish. I know farmhouse is a catchall style; however, not really consistent with my impression of the style. That being said, definitely interesting and flavorful.

05/10/06- Purchased at Ledger's Liquors in Berkeley, CA.
Presentation- 750ml bottle. No freshness dating on the bottle. Poured into my Troubador tulip.
Appearance- Odd amber, extreme dark golden color. Full solid 3/4 inch head and leaves above average lacing. Can't remember a amber colored saison I've had.
Smell- The slightest bit of barnyard. A sweet carob-caramel scent? A bit of sourness and sweetness. Some definite sugary aspects.
Taste- This is some freaky hybrid beer. It's got qualities of many styles. If I had to call it something I would make it a Belgian Pale Ale. It has the bit of powdered sugar and touch of lemon rind like saisons have. It has a nice spicy and sweeter flavor like a strong belgian pale ale. It has a funky light brett sourness like a wild ale. It tastes good, but trying hard to figure out what it is.
Mouthfeel- Medium carb, nice sweet-sour aftertaste.
Drinkability- Whatever it is, it's definitely drinkable. Not outstanding, but worth giving it a shot...whatever the style may be. Although the $10 was a bit steep. I'm thinking about $7 or so may be worth it.

Out of a 750ml corked and caged bottle. Pours a mud puddle brown color, plenty murky, with a nice semi dense head that left some lacing on the side of the glass. The aroma is of plums and raisins, some light nutmeg, flowery perfume, and brown sugar. Quite different saison aroma than I am use to. The taste of raisins and what I will call bitter figs are forefront and strong. Brown sugar runs throughout and is complimented by some bark spices. The Saison Imperiale is to saisons what BSDAs are to BSPAs, if that makes any sense. Significant malt body is fizzy carbonation; sweet & spicy, finishes a bit bitter. Quite the different saison. Pronounced aroma and flavor, I just not positive I am digging the flavor, at least not in a saison sort of way. Definitely worth a try as I haven't had a brew like this one before.

Giorgia from Rome, Italy would recommend this hotel to a friend |
Overall very excellent hotel and service. The hotel and rooms were very clean and staff were very friendly and accommodating - especially the breakfast staff and room cleaners. Two small things could be improved though: (i) speed of the foyer internet (linked to the printer). We needed to print off some vouchers from the internet for London sightseeing tickets and had to use the computer attached to the printer which was charged at £1 per per 10 minutes. However, it was so slow that it took 6 minutes to load them and we nearly ran out of time to print them. (ii) We did find as three of us were sharing one room that there was not hardly enough wardrobe/drawer space which is our only 'could be improved' point to make. Only minor points though and we otherwise thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again and probably will. Thank you. | ||
Shelley from Jersey, United Kingdom would recommend this hotel to a friend |
I cannot say enough about the staff at this hotel they were outstanding. The room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel was very convenient to shopping and other restaurants. It was close about a 10 minute slow walk from the subway system into downtown London. The restaurant in the hotel was very good and quite reasonable. We received the free breakfast and it had a very good selection for any ones tastes. Again this hotel could not have been more accomading to out pary. One of our party could not make it and there was no problem in cancelling the room that was booked. We would definately stay here on a return trip. | ||

When you have diabetes, accuracy matters.
Don't gamble with the accuracy of your strips.
Don't gamble with the accuracy of your strips.
In an average week, our quality control process tests a combined total of over 60,000 ACCU-CHEK® SmartView and ACCU-CHEK® Aviva Plus test strips for consistent accuracy.1 With that type of commitment, why not use an ACCU-CHEK test strip?
Your health is very important to us. If you're not currently using ACCU-CHEK products, get a free meter and ask your pharmacist or healthcare provider to help you switch today.
2 |
Ensuring quality and accuracy has always been our top priority. In fact, the manufacturing processes we employ for ACCU-CHEK Aviva Plus and ACCU-CHEK SmartView test strips ensure that ACCU-CHEK products meet our uncompromising standards of quality. Here are a few examples:
For every lot of ACCU-CHEK test strips, containing millions of strips, one out of every 100 vials is tested for consistency of performance
Vials representative of the entire lot are tested a second time, some in a lab setting and others with capillary blood from actual patients with diabetes to reflect a real-world environment
As a result of our quality assurance process, we won't release affected test strips when any of the samples show a reading outside the safer zones of the Parkes Error Grid

text: The case was brought by a bottler and distributor of Pepsi-Cola products in Washington state challenging the NLRB after the Board affirmed a decision that the distributor violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) [text]. In addition, two business advocacy groups filed motions contesting the constitutionality of the president's recess appointments [JURIST reports] in January 2012. The motions were filed in relation to the groups' ongoing suit challenging the NLRB mandate that rights to unionize [JURIST report] be posted in all workplaces. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] defended the use of recess appointments [CRS backgrounder, PDF] by Obama immediately after his announcement. The DOJ's memo argues that although the Senate met between January 3 and 23, the sessions were not sufficient to constitute an interruption of a recess under the Recess Appointment Clause because they were only pro forma sessions that lasted less than a minute and there was no intent to conduct any business. Some experts argue that recess appointments have regularly been used by presidents [JURIST op-ed] since George Washington. It is only a relatively recent practice that obstructionists have begun holding perfunctory pro forma sessions every three days while the Senate is on recess in order to block recess appointments.

The 400D is an excellent choice for a cost effective crop-sized DSLR.
It does not have the video features of the newer models but it does however pack a decent MP sensor and a feature set akin to film SLR cameras.
Again a very good choice for a person new to photography, as it offers a good foundation to expand out from.

Overall lived up to expectations. Perfect location for participation in the Brainerd Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza. Room was clean. A bit noisy on Friday night with lots of fisherman gearing up for Saturday's festivities. Also had a bit of an issue getting the door to close/lock but managed to fix it ourselves with a screwdriver.

This hotel needs a makeover. The lady at the front counter was absolutely glistening with sweat. It was very unappealing. The hotel is in an area where there are a lot of businesses closed around it. The Wendy's across the street was the best thing about staying there. The breakfast was very disappointing again the warm milk on cereal was not appetizing at all. They were out of eggs, and bread for toast. We will not stay there again or recommend to anyone to stay there. One star is generous. ...

Very noisy people in the next room; especially at 2:00 in the morning, yelling and banging on doors. The office person did not ask location we would prefer being assigned to. She gave us a second floor room without suggesting we get a main floor room. I have stayed at this motel before and thought it was a nice place. I do not know what happened in the last year or two - maybe different owners? The south side of the building needs painting really bad. The parking lot had a lot of rocks and sand on it. Obviously, there is not much maintenance being done there. Shower head clogged, entrance door rubber protective bumper on wall is rotten and needs to be replaced. The carpeting was not vacuumed under the furniture and in corners of the room. The bathroom door protective metal bumper spring does not have a rubber tip on the end. The whole place seemed to be not cared for very much. Is there a morale problem with the personnel working there? I think their room prices should be lowered due to their sloppy operation. This used to be a fairly decent place, but definitely has gone "down hill" in the last couple of years!!! I normally do not complain about motels, but this one currently belongs at the bottom in the ratings. It felt like a very marginal motel, at best! We did not even eat breakfast there. We were really happy to leave. Thanks for letting me vent; it feels like it is the right thing to do. ...

Breaking News: BDNews24 reports:
"President Iajuddin Ahmed is set to take over as head of the caretaker government at a Bangabhaban ceremony Sunday evening despite strong objections by the Awami League and allies.
Bangabhaban officials said the preparations were complete for the ceremony at 8pm.
Government sources said many battalions of armed forces have been kept on alert to deal with unrest.
The presidential move came after Bangabhaban claims of failed parley with top political leaders earlier Sunday.
The main opposition called it 'unconstitutional'. The BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, however, backed the plan.
Awami League leader Abdul Jalil told journalists after the Bangabhaban meeting that Dr Ahmed, at 76, could not head a 'non-party' caretaker government since he was elected by a party and aged above 72.
The constitution bars a person over 72 years and with political ties to head the caretaker government."
The country is destined to be in further chaos. The use of army in declaring a state of emergency or establishment of a martial law is not ruled out.
The usual the first casualty is information. The media will be shut down. Most Likely the internet will be blocked. Somewhere in, a software company and owner of the wap-internet based site has taken a revolutionary step. Now people of Bangladesh can send news to the world via sms using their mobile phone. Drishtipat Blog has details:
Should your ISPs goes down in Dhaka tonight and you want to send news to rest of the world and to us:
send sms SHOUT message.
example SMS: SHOUT clashes in paltan observed at 17:46, several bomb explosions heard.
The number to send the message to is 5455.
The messages will be viewable at http://wap.aawaj.com
For the time being, you can use the shout sms and let your wap friends share what you know or have seen.
But we do want to hear from the people on the ground and the following info came in courtesy of the somewherein website.
Update: President Iajuddin Ahmed took taking oath as CTG chief as an additional duty at 20:00 hours Bangladesh time. Awami league claims they were notified moments ago and they were not present in the ceremony. However they did not reject Iajuddin outright.

I'm off to Japan for a short holiday. Anything to recommend other than the usual?
Try finding any rubbish bins around...
I don't know mate. That's not one of the things I go around asking people.
I may try asking someone, but let me find the proper time and proper way of formulating that question, okay?
As for me, I've been hanging around with some friends. I went to Nara and Kobe last week. Oh, the Gion Matsuri in Kyoto was very interesting. There were many people making chants and making some sort of procession the entire day, and in the night everyone was yelling "Faito! Faito!". It was so much fun.
In 2 weeks, I'll be going to Tokyo, and of course, I'll attend to Comiket.
Well, you definitely cannot miss out on Tokyo. That place is a must. As of now, I wouldn't tell you to go to Hokkaido, since it's summer. You go there during the winter for maximum enjoyment. If you go to Osaka, you can try checking out Osaka castle, or you can go to Shinsaibashi or Umeda if you feel like shopping, or you can try Nipponbashi (aka. DenDen Town) to check out Osaka's Akiba. If you go to Nara, you can do the Yama-no-be-no-michi, or check the Daibutsu... in fact, if you go to Nara, just enjoy the whole place. It's a very traditional city. If you go to Kyoto, you can try the Philosopher's Path, you can also go to Kinkakuji and Kyoumizudera. Hiroshima is also quite nice. You definitely have to check out the A-bomb dome, and you could also try going to Miyajima.
Hm, somehow I think I came off a little angry there or maybe you felt I did, which I'd like to clear up and say I was only joking.
Let us know what rewards you reap at the next Comiket. Only the clean titles, I'm sure. xD Take pics of teh awesomes cosplayers and post them here too. =O
Btw, you should stop by the arcades while you're there. Go to Big Box Arcade.
Hmmm... wut?
But of course.... what else do you think I'm planning on doing there? I want to buy Umineko EP7 and some clean dōjunshi.
Porn is bad, yo.
I've been there. Arcades here, unlike in my country, are so much fun. I love them.
So, Dante, how was comiket, how much money did you spend, and what did you buy? =o
It's hard to describe since it's a country I had, honestly, had never pictured myself at. So, I was amazed by almost every single thing. The monuments, the people, the food... so many things, I have no idea where to begin.
I spent around 20000 yen.
I won't tell you what I bought... That's a secret.
Well, you should go on and say anyways! Post pics.
C'mon, you gotta tell. How much pronz did you buy? Post some pics of the event, I'm sure you took pictures.
Btw, what did you guys make of this bit of news? =O
I must admit though, I was fooled. x.x
I'm no AKofC. I'll get banned if I post those.
I wanted to, but cameras weren't welcome.
I'm not surprised. After being here for 9 months, that shit doesn't surprise me one fucking bit. Seriously, people here are far too androgynous.

Endogenous Quality Choice: Price vs. Quantity Competition
Two versions of a vertical product differentiation model, one with fixed and the other with variable costs of quality, are analyzed to study how the hypotheses of price versus quantity competition affect equilibrium solutions. Product differentiation arises under all the scenarios considered, contrasting previous findings of symmetric quality choices under Cournot behavior. However, to relax harsher market competition, firms differentiate more under Bertrand than under Cournot. A simple welfare measure also indicates that the economy is better-off when firms compete on prices-with fixed costs of quality, not only consumer but also producer surplus is higher under price competition.

Skyline lifeline: Dallas' 5 best patios with a downtown view
Five Sixty -- There are few better ways to appreciate the Dallas skyline than from within one of its signature structures. At the apex of Reunion Tower, and so named because the landmark is 560 feet tall, Wolfgang Puck's Five Sixty offers a panoramic view of the skyline through its floor-to-ceiling windows as it slowly rotates 360 degrees. Read more on the link below.

Toto the Hero
Michel Bouquet, Mireille Perrier, Jo De Backer
Directed by Jaco Van Dormael
Belgian writer-director Jaco Van Dormael makes a feature debut worth cheering with this comically surreal fantasy, which whooshes by so fast that you don't realize until it's over how deeply it's affected you. The superb Michel Bouquet plays Thomas, a hospitalized codger who still dreams of taking revenge on wealthy Alfred (Peter Böhlke), a childhood adversary who he believes has stolen his life. Van Dormael unleashes a dizzying collection of fragments from infancy (when Thomas insists he and Alfred were switched in a maternity-ward fire) through adolescence and adulthood.
A lively Charles Trenet tune, "Boum," punctuates the action, as does the presence of Toto the Hero, an imaginary detective who harasses Alfred in Thomas's dreams. Thomas is bitter about his sister Alice (Sandrine Blancke), the girl they both lusted after, and Evelyne (Mireille Perrier), the Alice look-alike he loved and lost to Alfred. Van Dormael hurls images at you while his keenly intuitive script ensures that this unique film will haunt you for a sweet long time.

I used to tell hoes I was dark light or off white
from Chance The Rapper (Ft. BJ The Chicago Kid & Saba) – Everybody's Something Lyrics on Rap Genius
From this interview with MTV Chance spoke on this:
There's just this stigma of self-hatred [within] the black community. People wanna say that they're part Native American or mixed, or anything other than black. We're raised to believe that there's something better about not being fully black, something eccentric about it. I'm saying I used to tell girls that I was mixed, which is a bold-faced lie! I'm light skinned and I used to lean on that because that's something a lot of black people pride themselves on and it's weird. I would even go lengths to lie and say that I'm mixed or biracial when in another light, I'd fight if a n——a said that I talked white.
Chance also revealed that this line was actually an allusion to fellow Chicago rapper Lil Durk's lyric. In Durk's line he talks about how he used to tell girls that he was Jamaican because of the dreadlocks he had saying:
Cut the dreads off used to tell the hoes I was Jamaican
