Convention-resort owner Gaylord Entertainment Co. mingled with the rich and famous this week, partnering with singer Dolly Parton to build a water park adjacent to its Nashville hotel and tangling with Texas billionaire Robert Rowling over its takeover defenses.
Gaylord, owner and operator of four massive resort complexes of more than 1,500 rooms each, on Thursday announced it will partner with Dollywood Co. to build a 50-acre amusement park for water and snow activities adjacent to its 2,881-room Gaylord Opryland hotel and convention center by 2014. Gaylord will contribute to the venture 114 acres for the amusement park and other uses in addition to capital.
Dollywood, a partnership of Ms. Parton and Norcross, Ga.-based Herschend Family Entertainment, will contribute capital and operate the park. Dollywood operates the Dollywood complex and Dollywood's Splash Country water park in eastern Tennessee. Among Herschend's 26 amusement parks is Stone Mountain Park near Atlanta, where Herschend already has experience operating attractions with manmade snow.
"We've dreamed of different areas where we might have Dollywood II or III, but when this came along we thought it might be the perfect thing to do," said Ms. Parton, who turned 66 on Thursday. "I was born and raised in Tennessee, and I've been in Nashville since 1964."

Growler brought over by Michael, thanks!
Pours a vibrant clear golden amber with a couple fingers of white head made up of some very thin bubbles. It almost glows when held up to the light. The head soon fades, leaving some bits of lacing in the glass.
The aroma is a very complex mix of pine resin, some citrus grapefuit and orange and some sweet malt in the background. It's almost reminiscent of a honey sweetness. Some alcohol becomes more evident as it warms.
The taste starts off slow up front, but as soon as it hits the middle of the tongue a serious load of citrus and malt sweetness, again almost like honey, hits you and the finish is a heavy bitter does of pine and resins. Although the description says a theoretical 280 IBU's, the bitterness is very well balanced and not as overpowering as the number would suggest.
The mouthfeel is really nice, but just a touch thin and not quite as "sticky" as I would expect from something this heavily hopped and 10.5%. Carbonation is thin and prickly and really spot on. This one goes down way too easy and I can only wish that something half this good was on tap locally.

Thanks to John for sending me a growler of the most recent batch from early March 2011.
A: clear orangish yellow, lots of bubbles with off white 2 finger head.
S: lots of tropical fruits, hops, tangerines, grapefruits, sweet honesuckle. Perfect
T: didnt quite live up to the aroma. I expected more of a tropical fruit flavor that followed that wonderful aroma. However still very drinkable and it reminded me alot of Pliney the Elder. However I still wish it was a bit more tropical sweet in the flavor instead of heavier on the grapefruit/pine.
M: medium to almost heavy body (towards the end of the swig). Lots of carbonation, but they danced off the tongue.
D: I would have given it a 4.5-5.0 on this one had the taste been a bit more tropical, and at the very end of the swig, I felt this beer had a tinge of aspirin flavor to it. It appeared about 3 seconds after swallowing the beer. It was weird, but detracted a bit from the enjoyment.
However, I must say that this is an EXCELLENT beer and with beers like this and Double Sunshine from Lawson's...looks like Vermont is fast becoming the new "San Diego" and its a pleasure to know that FINALLY the east coasters are understanding how to make a proper hop-forward IPA/DIPA. Keep em coming...

Huge thanks to Todd for hooking me up with a growler of this. So far I've been a big fan of Shaun's IPAs, so I've been looking forward to trying this one.
A: The pour is surprisingly clear, and is a nice golden amber color with a couple fingers of white head and sticky lacing all down the glass.
S: Intensely fruity on the nose. Excellent grapefruit, but perhaps even better tropical fruit aromas. Lots of pineapple and mango, perhaps some grass and certainly a little bit of pine. A mild sugar aroma provides some additional sweetness.
T: There is a touch of sweet malt flavor, but after that, it's just a ton of fruity hops. Pineapple, mango, and peaches give the beer a really nice flavor and the grapefruit and pine notes provide the requisite bitterness.
M: Medium in body with a moderate level of carbonation. Not super bitter on the finish.
D: Damn good stuff, but the alcohol does catch up with you on this one. Deceptively easy to drink.

Huge thanks to Andrewinski1 for making the trek down to Hill Farmstead to grab this one up. Dedication. Poured into a tulip. Beer pours a slightly hazy straw color with about a finger of white fluffy head. It retains nicely and eventually settles down a bit leaving thin soapy lace.
Perfect balance on the aroma for this one. Bitter pine hops are really in your face on this one. The hop aroma blends itself nicely with a candied blood orange aroma that give a nice touch of sweetness in the aroma.
It's official. This is a hop bomb. Right away tropical juice flavors take over my pallet. Pineapple juice and orange flavors to start it off. If finishes with a really piney hop flavor.
A little bit of a sticky feel to this but the body is still pretty good. Lively carbonation, so it held up nicely in the growler. Overall, this is amazing. Drinkable to no end. 10.5? Like hell. Drinks like it's half that.

Poured into a Hill Farmstead Glass. The color is a nice orangey gold color. A small white head is formed and leaves super sticky lacing.
The aroma is full of sweet tropical fruit like mango and a touch of orange zest. Smells juicy.
The taste is heavy on pineapple and also has some nice sweet orange in the finish as well. There is a touch of pine needle in there as well, but this is much more overwhelming with pineapple flavor. The sweetness is just enough to offset the bitterness. A great balance as far as a "triple" IPA is concerned.
The carbonation is nice and crisp, the body is relatively light, but still thick enough to fill your mouth with juicy hop nectar.
This is very very drinkable. I can't wait for every sip. Glad I'm only splitting this 3 ways so I can have a bunch. The more I drink, the more I get heavy pine, and it's awesome.

Shared by Gonzoillini at a tasting. This was the first beer if the night. I was very excited to try it!
Growler opened with a large -pop- and was served in my Ithaca tulip.
The beer looks great. Nice closing yellowy gold... Slightly hazy, which I am a fan of... Big 3 fingers of white head... Very sticky lacing and strong retention. Off to a very strong start.
Smells good. Big citrus and pine hop notes. No real malt. Crisp and clean. The taste has some citrus and pine for sure... But everything is almost lost to a hurricane of pure bitterness. This is painfully bitter, but at the cost of a lot of flavor. This reminds me of Ruination a bit...
The body is oily and light-- almost thin for my tastes. Almost watery?! Wow. There is no bright prickliness that really helps propel the flavor across each tastebud... The beer feels dull and boring. Lots of oily residue left after each sip. It coats my teeth with pine tar.
Overall... This is a good beer. Is it fantastic? Meh. Is it world class? Nope.
It is a sign of a good young brewery though, and I'd love to see what these guys can do after tweaking things a bit.

Big thanks to TCassell1 for this beer, a treat to have. Notes from 3-3-11
A: Clear Orange to yellowish color with epic lacing and small bubbly head. Nice carbonation from the growler, which I was pleased to see. I expected the color to be brighter than normal IPA's since I saw there was so little malt.
S: Dank Hops, hop resin and sugary malt. Huge citrus notes and bitterness in there, wow.
T: Really crazy concentrated hops at the back of the palate with a huge bitter note and soft sugary feel up front. Grass, citrus, pine its all there in a huge hammer at the back of the palate. It's very nice how the beer has such a nice ease to it at the front of the palate and then really slams you with a multitude of hop flavors that I really dig. This is not the most balanced beer, but it is a dream for hop lovers and bitter loving people!
M: As I said, sugar up front and huge bitter back, maybe the most bitter palate wrecker I've had. Medium feel, not too much heat actually.
D: Great huge IPA, but it definitely taxes your palate fast! Excellent beer, I hope to get more of their stuff.

Huge thanks to dreadnaught33 for sharing some of his growler last night.
I have to say, the only thing about this beer that was not immensely impressive was the way it looked - a bit of a thin yellowish orange without a ton of head. Everything else about this beer was exceptional. The smell just hit me in the face with that big, aromatic hop and citrus aroma that I love in a DIPA, and the taste definitely followed suit. It was hoppy, fruity, a little sweet and ridiculously smooth, basically a perfect DIPA. It was so easy to drink that I was shocked to see that the ABV was 10.5%.
Overall, this is one of the best DIPAs I have ever had and a beer definitely deserving of all of the hype it's getting. It's pretty much perfect in every way.
Edit: I had some from the recent batch and it just wasn't quite as good. It was still a hell of DIPA, but it was more resiny and sweeter and a lot less bitter. I just didn't think the flavors came together quite as well the 2nd time around, so I'm making some minor changes to the review.

Finished writing an appellate brief from hell tonight, so thought I would reward myself with a couple of glasses of Ephraim. From a growler sent by a generous BA. Opened on 03.03.2011.
Pours a glowing orange peel orange with a full, thick-lacing-leaving head. A patch of thick bubbles sits idly on a quarter of the surface area.
Tropical fruit hits the nose, emanating bright orange and citrus, peach, mango and papaya. There's some resinous pine on the end of the nose, but it fades quickly into the light caramel malt backbone. As it opens, I get more caramelized sugar sweetness running through this.
Surprisingly (why am I surprised) bitter. It opens with the featured tropical fruitiness, but quickly transforms into a punch of pine and grapefruit pith. You can almost feel it tingle on your tongue. I get a nice dose of citric sweetness mid-palate that is washed away by the pithy and resinous bitterness. Sharply bitter finish.
Medium-bodied, somewhat dry mid-to-late palate. Sticky. Medium to medium-low carbonation. There's some heat on it.
This tests my personal limits for bitterness, as I've never experienced anything quite like the finish here - it's assaulting. Still, surprisingly complex - the hints of orange that peek through are bright and brilliant - and my first glass is empty before the review is done. A DIPA to be reckoned with.

This is a dangerous beer because of it's smoothness, balanced and big ABV. I can easily drink a few of these if not careful.
On tap and in growlers.
It pours a hazy yellow with a medium creamy head that holds nicely and laces in the glass. Big hop aroma with notes of citrus and pine. The taste is slightly resinous, citrusy and fruity, but smooth and no alcohol hotness at all. It finishes with a balanced bitterness and slight dryness that begs for a repour.
Really fresh taste overall and one of the few Imperial IPAs I can enjoy more than one of in a sitting.

Review altered after 2011 EBF.
Had this very fresh at EBF. The characteristics are similar to what is described below, but everything was so much more pungent. The nose absolutely exploded with raw hops that carried through to over-the-top hops in the flavor along with a really nice amount of bitterness for a seriously drinkable brew.
Old Review: 4 / 4.5 / 4 / 4.5 / 4
On tap at the Three Penny Taproom. Super-friendly staff and I'm really glad that this was still on we Amyliz4 and I made it in.
Pours a really bright orange color with two fingers of white head and a load of sticky lacing around the edges of the glass. The nose is really nice and over-the-top hoppy with a lot of pine, resin, orange peel, citrus, and some light tropical fruits.
The taste has many of the same components of the nose, though those are often overshadowed by the absolutely bruising bitterness that comes through in the mouthfeel. Citrus, tropical fruits, and a bit of pine. The feel is really, really hoppy and mixes well with the light alcohol that comes through. I'd love to try this again and will hopefully be making a trip back up North to visit all these magnificent Vermont breweries at some point soon.

Had on tap at the Farmhouse. Poured into a goblet tasting glass, hazy deep amber-gold body under a lacy white head. The hop smell wafts across the table: sweet, sappy, grassy and with a heavy dose of floral honey. Fresh and mouthwatering IPA smells.
Tastes just less potent than I remember, but with a huge grapefruit presence that dominates the bitter profile and an appealing slight sweetness under the hop backbone. Mouthfeel is slightly syrupy but drying and smooth, medium-bodied. For how bitter this beer is, it's extremely well-balanced and very, very drinkable. Delicious!!
I hope to have this on tap fresh if it comes out again. Definitely an experience to look forward to.

Growler- pours a light tangerine with slight haze with a light head and soapy lacing. Nose- huge blast of tropical fruit (mango, pineapple, passion fruit). Taste- WOW- intense, wave after wave of hops attack the senses. Citrus, pine resin. Thick chewy hops interplay with cookie dough pale malts. Medium bodied. Carbonation spot (esp for a growler I've been sitting on for a few weeks). Booze is not apparent other then a warming heat as this hop delivery vehicle slides down the throat. Its a man among boys in the world of dipas. Drinkability is insance for the power of this brew. World class

On tap at the Farmhouse Tap and Grill. Served in a small tasting glass. A thin white head sits on top of a beautiful glowing orange body. Lots of sticky lacing left behind.
Wedges of orange citrus mixed with pine-laden hop hit the nose. Some sweet malt makes its way in as well. Definitely more balanced this time around than at the release. More citrus notes, but the grassy-pine hop aroma is still nice and strong.
Hoppy, bitter, crushed orange and sweet malts wash across the tongue. Sticky pine, slightly grassy and full of citrus. A great IBU punch to the mouth, but still maintaining great balance. This is how a DIPA should taste.
Mouthfeel is sticky, resiny, smooth and bitter. Good carbonation and a body that is substantial, yet light enough to be refreshing.
As always, this is ridiculously easy to drink. A delicious Double/Triple IPA that has a huge helping of hops, but plenty of citrus and body that make it a pleasure to drink. The ABV is unnoticeable, so this brew is dangerous in more ways than one. I highly recommend seeking this one out. It is simply one of the best hop-infused beers out there.

Shared a growler with two friend recently. Appearance is a golden dark yellow. The smell is simply outstanding. Great pine/citrus (grapefruit) smell. The best smelling east coast IPA I have ever had. The taste did not dissapoint. More hoppy than malty (which I like.) Mouthfeel was also excellent. Perfectly carbonated.
All things being equal, I would pick this over any other DIPA I have ever consumed. This one is nothing short of perfection.

Growler. Pours a golden yellow amber color with a very white head that forms a nice 1 finger head of foam that false rather quickly. I can smell the hop aroma as I pour this out into the glass. Very aromatic with nice tropical type hop notes like pineapple and mango, also some citrus rind. Medium mouthfeel. Fruity malty sweetness gives way to a nice bitter hop bite. Wow, bitter bite, might be a tad much. Very slight alcohol notes but otherwise the alcohol is fairly well hidden.

Thanks to kbutler1 for sharing this one.
Poured into Bells snifter.
Pours 1 finger of white head that fades to a thick ring. Leaves some lacing from there. Color is a clear golden orange.
Aroma: Hmm, this smells far better than any east cost XPA I have smelt. Reminds me more of west coast style. Huge pine hop profile with a large amount of citrus. Has a lot of mangoes and grapefruit flavors with a bit of orange. I get a touch of onion, but it is very faint.
Taste: Very hoppy. Floral and pine round this one out with a touch of alcohol. It also has a heavy dose of grapefruit, orange, and mango, much like the nose. There is a touch of bready malts and an light union flavor.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation. A little boozy. Pretty bitter. Ends clean with a little heat left over.
Overall, this is a great dipa. Either I am very thirsty or this thing is that drinkable, because my glass isn't lasting long. I am glad I have finally had a DIPA from the east coast that has impressed me.

Thanks! A much anticipated first review from a much anticipated brewery. I'm new to Hill Farmstead brewery, but not to the beers of this brewer.
A: Appears tangerine orange and clear with a billowing white head, great retention, and thick sheets of lacing.
S: Aroma is of grapefruit, peach, tangerine, mango, orange, passion fruit, and a little papaya, a veritable cornucopia of fruit characteristics that coexist harmoniously. Holy shit this smells fantastic. There's a whisper of pine in there as well, but the hop character is mostly fruit. Alcohol is very well hidden for the monstrous ABV, I can't even detect it. Malt is light and reminiscent of caramel. One of the best smelling Double/Triple IPAs I've encountered.
T: Big hop flavor, manifesting itself in the form of a myriad of fruits: peach, mango, orange, grapefruit, papaya, and tangerine. Bitterness is at an upper moderate level with ephemeral sweetness midpalate. Malt is caramel in character but takes a backseat to the bold and unabashed hop profile. This is _outstanding_ stuff. Finish is a hop explosion with a lingering pithy bitterness. Alcohol is deftly masked.
M: Medium bodied with a dry, sticky mouthfeel and good carbonation. The growler held up very well.
Overall: Top notch stuff. This is one of the best Double/Triple IPAs I've had, up there with Younger. If future batches are as good as this first batch this beer will become very well known. Seek this out!

Had a few pours from a growler thanks to Arbitrator. The growler apparently lost a few ounces of beer in transit, but that didn't seem to harm it much beyond a slight loss of carbonation.
It pours a hazy glowing peach color, capped by a finger of white froth that takes a moment to form and then slowly settles to a collar.
I was taken aback by the huge hop aroma. Tangerine, pineapple and grapefruit instantly remind me of Pliny the Younger, my gold standard for the style, but there's also a resiny/evergreen-like quality to it. There's a lightly sweet sugary (though not overtly caramelized) malt backbone, just enough sweetness to give a beer this big some substance.
Hop flavors hit the tongue first, and mirror the aroma with notes of pineapple, tangerine, grapefruit, perhaps a touch more juicy tropical fruit. It has a substantial malt character, but I only pick up a hint of sweetness before my palate is annihilated by the hugely bitter finish. The mouthfeel might be my favorite aspect of the beer, it's sharp and resiny, extremely bitter but not necessarily harsh. Truly outstanding stuff, and surprisingly easy to drink for a 10.5% monster. I hope this becomes a somewhat regular release.

Finally a tick from Hill Fargstead! Growler (and hand bottle) shared by Arbitrator. Let's see see what these crazy homers are all yappin' about, shall we?
Pours a great bright golden color with a small white head that fades.
Big-time citrusy and herbal hop aroma with sweet malt to back it up. Really enticing.
The flavor is very nice and hop-forward. Sweet and caramel malt base, with huge grapefruity, orangey, pine, herbal notes, and big resin.
Enamel-ripping mouthfeel with fairly lively carbonation despite being from a growler. Medium-full body.
Really awesome DIPA, almost up to Younger level. So easy to drink at 10.5%. Man, never thought I'd become a Vermont hyper, but here I go. Do they put hallucinogens in these beers?

Chilled growler into a glass. Thanks Kristin!
A: Pours a hazy golden peach body with not a ton of head. The growler has been in transit for a week and it was apparently filled right to the top; the paper towel wrapped around the neck showed that it might have leaked in transit, so I'm forgiving any carbonation issues in appearance or mouthfeel. This special is today only! Anyway, the foam is lightly beige in color; it slowly comes out of solution, then vanishes very quickly. Some spotty lace left behind.
S: Carbonation issues or no, it is not affecting the aroma at all. A nice, pungent blend of orange rind, candied grapefruit, pineapple, passionfruit, and a touch of mossy weed (I wrote this down as 'dank' to widespread mockery by the tasting group, but I stand by it). There's an expressive sugariness and booze.
T: Initially the taste is a rough bitterness. I'm unused to this, considering that I mostly drink West Coast IPAs with a lot of hop flavor but not necessarily a lot of hop bitterness. But the flavors come together pretty nicely: orange rind, passionfruit, pineapple. Grapefruit and substantial sugar cookie give the impression of candied grapefruit. The mossy, weedy flavors are particularly noticeable here; they pull into the finish with a sticky, resinous presence. This reminds me heavily of fresh Moylan's Hopsickle.
M: Full, expressive flavors abound. There's a touch of booze that I don't enjoy, but having had a 3-week old growler of Pliny the Younger that was boozier than the tap version, I'm attributing this change to the serving format. It's also low in carbonation, but again, I'm forgiving it. It has an enamel-peeling bitterness and stickiness that made it hard to taste anything afterward. I was a little stupid in opening it so early in the night.
D: I still find that Pliny the Younger takes the cake when you're talking about triple IPAs. I prefer the sweeter presence of that beer to the bitterness of this one. But I've also had the former under optimal serving conditions, and this one less so; I wouldn't be surprised if that makes a difference. This is a great beer. I'd love to have it again. But given most of the trade demands for it, I'd probably get some fresh Hopsickle on tap, instead...

Poured a nice caramel orange with a light white head of tiny bubbles. Smell of grapefruit citrus, caramel, sugar, cotton candy and well rounded as the sweetness and bitterness seem to equal each other.
Taste of delicious citrus. Possibly the strongest citrus I have had in an Imperial IPA. When drinking it, I could imagine biting into a fresh orange and having similar tastes. Sweet sticky sugar with nice caramelized flavors of pine, citrus and grapefruit with a great thick body. There is a very light carbonation to this coming out of a freshly tapped keg poured earlier in the day. The flavors all come together so smoothly that it is hard to imagine this being a 10.5% beer. In one sip you may find the sweetness coming out where the next you will be thinking about how bitter it is. Both complement each other to the point I could not determine which was more prevalent. Very well done and a treat to have.

Thanks to Jason for procuring a growler of this highly regarded brew. Served in a Rodenbach tulip.
A - Not much hiss from the growler, which was literally filled to the brim. A hard pour yields a finger of big-bubbled orange-tinged foam that dissipates to a chunky ring, leaving behind spotty lace. Subsequent pours were normal, with a more smooth and creamy appearance to the foam. The body is a pleasant lightly hazed golden peach color.
S - Huge citrus rind and zest, light dank and catty notes, candied citrus and touch of tropical fruits, burnt sugary malt and a touch of alcohol. There's also a sugar character that reminds me of the Flossmoor beers that contain Jaggery - a quick trip to Ratebeer confirms the addition of dextrose.
T - This was the hardest category for me to evaluate. Around mid-palate the beer really takes off, with intense citrus and bruising bitterness in the finish that lingers well into the aftertaste. It's just the initial flavor seems a big unfocused and flaccid. If I could, this would probably get a 4.25, but I'm going to round up as I was a little hard on the appearance of a beer from a week-old growler sent by mail.
M - Body is big, thick, and juicy, but offset with some low carbonation tingle. There's a bit of warmth, but not an offensive amount by any stretch. Super enamel-melting and resiny residual feel.
D - I really liked this, even with the alcohol and bitterness mounting quickly after the first glass. Still, I couldn't keep myself from returning to the growler throughout the evening. I know this is supposed to be a "triple" IPA, but I prefer more medium and punchy DIPAs that have a bit less sugar character. Still this was a very enjoyable brew and I'd gladly have it again.

Thanks to jrallen34 for hooking us up with this.
A - An opaque orangish amber with a late rising head that had decent retention. Nice stick on the sides with some very fine lace.
S - Smells very light, an interesting citrusy flavor, smells something like a tropical fruit that I just can't place. Burnt sugar, and a nice malt backbone.
T - A nicely light drinking triple IPA. Citrusy hops, you can definately pick up on the added sugar in this one. The bittering hops in this is quite suble but picks up steam on the end and gives you a nice bite that really gets you. An interesting fruity taste that is also like the smell that I can't place. Alcohol is quite well hidden, only burn comes with the sugar at the end.
M - Lighter side of medium body with moderate carbonation. Good feel for this beer.
D - Very drinkable triple ipa, alchohol quite well hidden, a little sweet that keeps it at a 4.

3/6/2011 Re-review thanks to Chris. This is batch 2, drank from a counter-pressurized growler. This batch is more hot, way too much alcohol on the finish. Still pretty good, just not the epic level of the first batch, still recommend trying.
Growler provided by sleepydave, drank into my Narke tulip...The top pops without an whiff and I'm a bit concerned, then I see theres only about a half centimeter of air, so I'm good. Pours a dark peach, nice color. At first it pours without any head, then as it settles about a full finger of light tope head. Pretty good retention, but really nice lacing; thin drops around the glass but super sticky...The aroma is not at as strong as expected, but in a good way; doesn't overpower. Very light grapefruit on the front, light sugar, and sweet pine hops. The backbone is light pine and alcohol but exactly what you are looking, makes me really want to drink it...The taste is a super nice perfect combination of sweet and bitter. The sweetness doesn't really show as fruits, but sugar and alcohol. The finish is hoppy, gives you want you want but not at all harsh or so much hops it distracts you from drinking. The finish is pine resin, sugar, alcohol and a little metal....The feel is outstanding. Sticks to your palate start to finish, its full, coating, makes you lick your lips, a smooth and lasting finish...Incredibly drinkable.
Another beer that was crazily hyped but actually lived up to expectations. Would LOVE to try this fresh.

I'm not saying the Herd's segments on NBA are the gospel, but he's been consistent with his stance on Derrick Rose and Carmelo Anthony, and it's hard to argue with how their playing styles affect their team's play on the floor.
I think it's time the Bulls part ways with Russel Westbrook's twin brother and get a few pieces (including a distributor) in return.
Colin Cowherd's theory on ball-hogs (Derrick Rose and Carmelo Anthony): Great scorers, not great players; Carmelo doesn't get it, he isn't willing to take fewer shots for wins; Derrick Rose is fool's gold, a more likeable Allen Iverson who says the right things. Both will take shot after shot while their teammates become bystanders: when the 4th quarter roles around, the "bystanders" will be ice cold and have no rythm when their numbers are called. Teams in general play harder when the whole team is involved in the offense: it's like playing at the Y with the ball-hog...teammates get bored, and they don't want to win as bad. Have you noticed how much more energy both teams play with when not having their super-stars in the line-up? The LeBrons and Durants of the world get that winning basketball involves sharing the ball and keeping teammates involved and in a good rythm. Carmelo and Rose will never win NBA championships.
I think the Bulls would be much, MUCH better with distributors like Jose Calderon or Vasquez. I'm full on, 100% on the theory.
Both rosters have overachieved without their Rose or Melo in the lineup, plain and simple.

Testicular Cancer Symptoms and SignsMost testicular cancers are discovered by the man himself when he notices a painless swelling (58%), lump (27%), or pain (33%) in a testicle.
Changes in the testicle can be detected early by practicing monthly testicular self-examination. Self-exam is easy to do. Testicular self-examination is key to recognizing testicular cancer early. Males older than 18 years of age should be encouraged to perform monthly inspections of each testicle. Notify your health-care provider about any suspicious finding or concern.

Art Van moves into Alpena for its first franchiseRelated links
Art Van Furniture has signed on its first Michigan franchisee through a deal with Young Appliance Inc. in Alpena. The 33,000-square-foot appliance and furniture store in downtown Alpena has been a fixture in the city for more than a century, according to Art Van. The new franchise will operate as Young's/Art Van Furniture. As part of the agreement, owners Bob and Naoko Young will dedicate more than 20,000 square feet of the store to showcase Art Van Furniture, including Art Van PureSleep and Clearance Center furniture, Art Van said in a release. Young's said it plans to add 10 new employees to its staff of 23 and to remodel the store for a Jan. 1 grand reopening. As reported by Crain's in March, Art Van is courting the top furniture retailers in about 20 of Michigan's smaller markets in a bid to have them become franchisees. The Warren-based company is looking at markets with the potential for a store to bring in annual sales of $3 million to $5 million, CEO Kim Yost told Crain's. In addition to Alpena, Art Van is targeting markets such as Gaylord, Mt. Pleasant, Cadillac and the Upper Peninsula.

The diva unleashes a spectacular at Caesars Palace.
Photo: PR
Las Vegas and Cher have both changed over the years, but neither so much that the two old friends aren't on the same page. Subtlety was never their strong suit, understatement not an option. "Las Vegas is way over the top, and the show that I do is way over the top. I feel that it just has to be," the ageless (but really 62-year-old) star noted in February, when she first spoke of her three-year deal to play about 200 shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
And so the new opus begins with Cher, dressed in the golden garb of a Mayan princess, taking a ride over the audience, a 40-foot descent to the stage in a contraption that's somewhere between a chariot and a Christmas ornament, one she calls "my Flying Wallenda, Evel Knievel death-mobile."
The opening spectacle makes the gondola ride later in the performance seem rather modest. When it comes to the actual songs and their basic treatment, The Colosseum revue will be familiar to those who caught the singer on one of her "farewell" tour stops, which came to the MGM Grand Garden four times between 1999 and 2005.
"You've got to give people the songs they want," Cher says. "I don't like it if I go to see an act and they don't do any of the songs that I love…If you're going to sing to an audience you have to make them happy."
And showgoers will be happy to see Cher dig into her "closet"—or at least a stage-prop version of it—to dust off such Bob Mackie-designed outfits as her Indian headdress for "Half Breed" and the gypsy garb for "Gypsies, Tramps, & Thieves." In all, Cher and her 18 dancers and aerialists change costumes 140 times.
The creative team around Cher was allowed to amplify the production design and take advantage of the massive Colosseum stage. "We get to do things here we would never even dream of," she says.
The show features bungee jumpers as well as dancers cavorting on a 65-foot, 10,000-pound bridge that moves up and down between two towers of scaffolding. Cher's production puts three-dimensional scenery in front of—and makeshift dressing rooms in back of—the giant video wall that dominated Celine Dion and Elton John's Colosseum revues. The video screen isn't the novelty it was in 2003. "The big danger is that the screen becomes so important that you end up watching TV," says production designer Jeremy Railton.
The video support in this case includes plenty of footage of the late Sonny Bono, singing with Cher in their early days. The duo already had worn through one pop career and was reinventing themselves as a nightclub act when they first played Las Vegas in 1969. Cher continued to play Las Vegas with and without him until her movie career took off in the 1980s during which she won an Academy Award for her role in Moonstruck.
She doesn't miss her old Vegas schedule of two shows per night, with the second at midnight. "It just killed me," she says. The new show is "kind of like a party" by comparison.
Show time for Cher at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is 7:30 p.m., dark Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Ticket prices are $95, $140, $175, and $250, plus tax and fees. 866-510-CHER,

Biographical Notes
Frances Minor was born Frances Anderson, an only child, to Francis Elmo Anderson and Sadie Hilyard on Feb. 8, 1923, at Provident Hospital in Chicago. She married Chicago Public Schools administrator Byron Minor. Ms. Minor has collected from, and provided support to, African American artists in Chicago for nearly five decades. She is a board member of the both the South Side Community Art Center and the Vivian G. Harsh Society, and has also been active with the DuSable Museum of African American History. Her role as collector and volunteer in Chicago arts and community organizations has been wide-reaching and significant.
Her mother was active with many grass-roots community organizations during the 1930s and 1940s, while her father was a Pullman porter, active with A. Phillip Randolph and the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. After Francis Anderson lost his position as a Pullman porter as a result of his union activity, Sadie Anderson secured a political job for her husband. She then went to Loyola University night school in order to become a social worker. Sadie Anderson served the Veterans Administration as a social worker until the Depression, after which she began working with the Works Progress Administration (WPA) as a supervisor for adults.
Frances Minor's maternal grandfather, William Kidd Hilyard, lived in Philadelphia during the late 1800s. He and a group of men decided to move to Minnesota in order to "make their fortune." The winter was so cold that they went back to Pennsylvania for warm clothing, and then went back to Minnesota. Mr. Hilyard became a merchant and a millionaire, and one of the founders of St. Phillips Episcopal Church. He was also the creator of the unique scrapbooks in the collection.
Her paternal grandfather, Moses Anderson, had three sons and was a land agent with the Northern Pacific Railroad. He would meet people in Chicago and settle them out west, from the Dakotas out to Washington. He created a town called Hilyard near Seattle. He served in the Army and is buried at Fort Snell in Minneapolis.
Because jobs were limited in Minnesota, Sadie Anderson decided to move the family to Chicago. Frances and her family lived on the south side of Chicago for the entirety of her childhood, living first at 53rd Street and Prairie. Because her father was Presbyterian, Frances was baptized in the Presbyterian faith. Later, she and her mother began attending Grace Presbyterian Church, one of the oldest African American Presbyterian churches in Chicago. When the family moved to 58th and Indiana, she began going to the St. Edmund's Episcopal Church with her mother, where she remains a member.
Frances Minor attended Bethesda Church at 53rd and Michigan for nursery school. It was bombed by racial terrorists at the time she was attending. After nursery school, she attended Carter Elementary School. After receiving threats from two female students, Frances attended Lucy Flowers High School, in lieu of DuSable High School. She was a student at Lucy Flowers for two years, 1937-1939, but left because of extreme prejudice against African American students there. They were forced to sit in the back of the classroom and were only allowed to take certain classes. Because of this, she transferred to Englewood High School, where she remained until graduation.
As a student at Roosevelt University night school around 1946, she met Byron Minor. Don Bonaparte, a mutual friend, and Minor were students at John Marshall Law School, and Bonaparte introduced Frances to Byron. They married in 1949. Byron and Frances had three living children, Diane, Courtney, and Frank, and one who is deceased. Her daughter, Diane, is an administrator for Chicago Community Colleges, and Courtney Minor has a law degree and an MBA, and is an administrator for Housing and Urban Development.
Byron Minor and the Minor/Mollison Family
Byron Minor was a Chicago-area educator for nearly 40 years. Before World War II, he taught at DuSable High School and then moved on to Dunbar High School. Later he became the first black principal of DuSable and served as a Chicago Public Schools district superintendent.
Byron Minor is linked to the Mollisons, a historically significant family of lawyers and bankers originating in Vicksburg, Miss., through his mother, Wylie Ethel Mollison. Willis Mollison, Byron's maternal grandfather, was a prominent lawyer in Vicksburg. When racism in Vicksburg had taken a particularly violent turn, and tarring and feathering blacks in Vicksburg became common, Willis Mollison boarded a train and came to Chicago. He later brought the rest of his family to the city.
The Mollisons opened the first African American law firm in the Chicago Loop, on Washington Street. Byron worked there along with his uncle, Irvin C. Mollison. Appointed to the United State Customs Court by President Harry S. Truman, Judge Irvin C. Mollison was the first African American appointed to the position and the first appointed to the federal judiciary as a whole.
The Minors/Mollisons are also linked to the DePriest and the McKissick families. Frances Minor's papers include materials regarding all four families, with detailed journal articles, military records, family lineage and memorabilia documenting the Mollison family's work in Vicksburg, and with historical documentation regarding the Minors' plantation history.
Byron and Frances Minor began collecting art because Frances' mother and father were both collectors. Francis and Sadie Anderson belonged to a group of friends who traveled and attended social events together, had dinner parties, and belonged to the same clubs. Artist William Edouard Scott was a part of this group. Known to Frances as "Uncle Billy," Scott often came to the Anderson house to wash his paintings. After the death of her parents, Frances inherited their art collection and continued adding to it while working with the South Side Community Art Center.
Byron Minor's uncle, Irvin Mollison, also collected art, and his collection included paintings by Archibald Motley, who was a friend of Irvin's. After his death, Irvin Mollison's art collection was donated to Spelman College in Atlanta, which, in turn, sent a few of the paintings back to Byron and Frances.
In 1941, Frances' mother went to the South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC) to watch Eleanor Roosevelt dedicate the building. Later, when Frances married, she learned that Byron was a member of the SSCAC's Camera Club and that Gordon Parks was his instructor. Novelist Frank London Brown was also in the photography club at that time.
In the 1950s, Frances officially joined the SSCAC, having been urged to do so by artists Ramon Price, Earnest Alexander, and family friend William E. Scott. At the time Frances joined the SSCAC, it was poorly organized and lacked funding. She worked with Grace Lemmie, Fern Gayden and others to keep it going. They paid for postage and organized events. As her work there continued, she began to buy art from new artists who would later become well known.
The Frances Minor Papers are composed chiefly of materials on artists and art shows, gallery materials, and newspaper clippings collected from the 1950s to 2008. Also included are pamphlets, photographs, and ephemera from throughout Byron and Frances' life together, and from Byron's career with the Chicago Public Schools. The collection has been divided into 18 series: Biography, Sadie Anderson's papers, Correspondence, Grants and Proposals, Programs, Artists Subject Files, Art and Artists Files, South Side Community Art Center, Organizations, Serials, Clippings, Pamphlets, Books, Memorabilia, Photographs and Oversized Materials.

New M'Lakes tank takes bigger bite from budgetApril 09, 2013, 6:30 pm by Adam Troxtell The City of Meadowlakes will have to cough up more cash for a new water storage tank after bids came in about $90,000 higher than anticipated. Meadowlakes City Council accepted a bid to build the 250,000 gallon tank by Bulldog Steel Products, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $351,785. Southwest Engineers was hired by the city to plan and estimate the cost of the project, and the amount of the awarded bid ended up being $89,785 more than the firms $262,000 estimate. "The bids came in pretty high, and we really didnt know what happened, Richard Collins, engineer with Southwest told council Tuesday. "They indicated it is the cost of the baffling installation that drove the cost so high. It will take an estimated $35,000 of cash reserves to pay for the tank, according to City Manager Johnnie Thompson. He said the city should be able to do this comfortably and without seriously threatening future reserve balances. For the full story, see Friday's Highlander. |

Phillies on the hunt for infield additions
- Views

08:18 AM ET 03.14 | The Phillies, even with a surplus of infielders in camp, are looking for more. According to multiple major league sources, the team is monitoring the trade market for infield depth. Phillies officials were on the lookout for infield help even before utility man Michael Martinez left Tuesday's game against Houston with a bruised right elbow, suffered when he was struck by a pickoff throw while leading off second. Martinez said he was OK and probably would only miss a day or two. Third baseman Pete Orr had a rough day against the Astros. Houston hitters smacked two hard-hit balls by him, but it appeared as if he could have made plays on both. He was not charged with any errors.
Henry Blanco did a stellar job for the Rangers for a couple of years -- even hit pretty well. He's available again. Good utility infielders -- in a day with 12 man pitching staff -- are an under-rated commodity!
Can't say that I blame them.
While Howard, Utley, Rollins and Polanco represent a talented infield, they're all on the wrong side of 30 (33.5 average) and have collectively averaged 135 games a season over the last three years.

Why should the Mets give up Ike Davis? He's young and PART OF the rebuilding process! C'mon, we're not the Pirates!

There's no harm in always looking to get better, epsecially when your talent isn't getting youngers. That's the key to having great runs, and not just one or two good seasons.

That may have been a stretch, i like the kid, really, but i don't see a rebuild yet, and that means Ike may not make it to the time when they actually start. right now they are just cost cutting.

No harm in looking, but remember a few things. The Phils have a SS-2B that was considered the best player in their minor league system last year in Freddy Galvis. While not as polished offensively, he's probably J-Roll's equal defensively already. Why the Phils resigned Rollins for 3, possibly 4, years is beyond me. Polanco has a mutual option for next season, which I'll be surprised if the Phils pick up their end. However, Howard is an unmovable contract. The Phils will have to start getting younger soon. The outfield is fine, but the priority this year is to resign Hamels.
C'mon, we're not the Pirates!
True that. The Mets are a bigger joke than the Pirates.

Since the Knicks don't seem to want his personnel advice, maybe 'melo could help with the Mets' issues.
The SILLIES will be sitting on their brains again this year watching the WS--- just like the Mets!
The Silllies need to find a manager who can speak and think at the same time rather than MUMBLE...

By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL
AP Fashion Writer
NEW YORK — There's been plenty of talk about day-to-night dressing in these frugal times. Next season, you might try night-to-day instead.
Designers at New York Fashion Week flipped the script on Friday, incorporating nighttime glamour into daytime classics instead of leaving women to glam up their more casual clothes.
Jason Wu turned "classic" around with modern looks that evoked yesteryear in lace trim, high necks and full sleeves.
For his contemporary Z Spoke label, Zac Posen showed a navy dress that would look great for daytime with a cardigan — but take off the sweater, and the back is completely bare. Peter Som presented beaded evening pants that could be paired with a work-appropriate dress shirt.
In the second day of fall previews, designers were veering away from basics, seemingly encouraging shoppers to invest in some fancier pieces and figure out how to wear them more often. New York Fashion Week continues through Thursday.
More than 15 types of lace were featured, and it seemed everything was dipped in gold-leaf embroidery, including the models' hair.
Silhouettes were modest, almost conservative, but colors ranging from barely there neutrals to electric blue and hot pink added youthfulness and sex appeal. Strategic sparkle didn't hurt, either.
Wu made the modern elegant in a lace-trim hoodie parka, a feminine tuxedo-inspired shirt dress and a champagne-colored sheer blouse adorned with feathers made of beading.
Wu is known for dressing Michelle Obama, including the first lady's inaugural gown. This season, he put into fabrics the same vibe photographer Robert Polidori used for his book "Parcours Museologique Revister," which traced restorations at Versailles.
The last two gowns on the runway, a black chiffon with a huge slit up the front and a bright pink strapless with gold embellishment at the bustline and waistband, seem ripe for a starlet looking to elevate her image.
Some of the coolest kids in town will be wearing heavy-duty layers of tweed, tartan, leather, wool and neoprene when the fall rolls around, thanks to Rag & Bone.
The brand's fall collection borrowed from Eskimos, Inuits, Native Americans and Siberians — with a few '70s skiers thrown in, according to notes from designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville.
The result was a mashup of texture, silhouettes and color that Vogue market director Meredith Melling Burke said was one of the duo's strongest collections. "It fit their customers, who really wear street-style clothes. They can use all these knits with the denim they have," she said.
Legwarmers — yes, legwarmers, these with gold zippers up the back — had a strong presence on the runway in a SoHo loft space.
Backstage after the show, Neville picked an orange-blue-black-and-ivory wool gauze skirt, worn with a blue-and-white top and matching legwarmers as one of his favorites and representative of the overall aesthetic.
There's something to be said for getting your glam on every day. Allow Peter Som to help you with that.
Pewter-color sequined pants for work? No problem when paired with a gray cardigan and printed blouse. Facing serious winter weather? A mink-lined twill parka slides right over an orange, lace-bonded tweed suit.
The head-to-toe look of a lace herringbone coat and skirt with a white crepe shirt, and the coordinated floral-print lining of a twill-leather-and-fox coat with a sheath dress, are for women ready for a polished-yet-unstuffy look.
"It's a young luxury," said Tommy Hilfiger from his front-row seat. "Peter speaks to a younger woman, but not someone who is flamboyant."
In addition to his own collection, Som serves as a design consultant for Hilfiger.
Som might have gotten carried away on some outfits, though, especially with the fur sleeves that bulked up some of his outerwear and a fawn-colored dress with tiers of ruffles around the bodice that added fabric where most women don't want it.
Zac Posen toned it down for his contemporary Z Spoke label this season. No big runway production for New York Fashion Week. No wild fruit prints. And certainly none of the theatrics that Posen was famous for with his signature label, which now gets previewed in Paris.
Instead, editors, retailers and stylists were invited to his downtown studio for individual appointments to see some no-frill clothes — clothes that women will be likely to buy and wear.
That was the thing about Posen's grandest moments — thinking of the tornado and wheat gowns, for example: They made beautiful photos, but who could pull them off anywhere but the catwalk?
But slim-cut stretch jersey dresses in navy, black and a dusty rose with Posen's flattering technique of piecing together fabric are the sort of things that can be worn over and over again.
Loose-weave, oversized cardigans can top dresses that are office-appropriate from the front, yet have fully open backs to add spice later in the day.
There are also the more consumer-friendly prices, with dresses that would retail in the $450 range and handbags starting at $200.
Nicole Miller relies for fall on a sophisticated edge using digital prints, diagonal stripes and asymmetrical necklines.
The collection was heavy on blacks and greys with splashes of red, blue and white.
Miller showed several looks with a belt over a coat or vest. She also combined cashmere and leather to create sweaters and tunics. Some pants had leather patches at the knees.
Angles over curves had a menswear influence, according to the show's notes. "Pants, slouchy or slim, are a new focal point."
Liz Rodbell, Lord & Taylor's executive vice president of merchandising, said the department store sees Miller's customer as a chic, metropolitan woman.
"We look at her line, it really expresses a lot of color for us and helps determine where the business is going," Rodbell said.
Blue lights bathed the runway and a drum beat pounded before Cynthia Rowley debuted a collection of printed, flowy silk dresses and glittered sweaters for fall at New York Fashion Week.
Her hemlines varied from just above the knee to nearly on the floor. Dresses were loose fitting and willowy, moving easily around models in chunky metallic high heels. Rowley called them "walking dresses," or "dancing dresses."
She used a green and brown chevron print on a swingy, silk dress with a tie at the neck. A long sleeved cream dress had a multicolored band hem that swayed back and forth.
Rowley also used disintegrated velvets for dresses. One sleeveless, deep green velvet dress had an upside-down T-shaped panel on the back. The pants of a yellow velveteen suit were the length of culottes.
Actress Julia Stiles was in the front row. "She's got such a fun, playful attitude toward clothing that I think is reflected in her designs."
Rebecca Minkoff's fall mix of luxury and bohemian was inspired by Sean Lennon's girlfriend, model-turned-singer Charlotte Kemp Muhl.
The bonus was a performance by Lennon once the lights went down. He played for the duration of the show.
Minkoff admires Muhl's mastery of vintage and new. The designer showed black cigarette pants with patches on the knees and a leopard print jumpsuit with a black leather belt and black and gold handbag.
A skirt in a leopard print had an asymmetrical hem and was worn with a black sequined off-the-shoulder sweater.
The show's finale was a flowy floor-length V-neck gown in a nearly sheer green and black print.
My evening wear never really looked good the next day especially if I slept it. Like checking the fob pocket of my vest, (the one that went with my sky-blue leisure suit) and finding a half eaten Krystal... Aah, those were the days!

Ryan Denney - #77 - DE
Status | Inactive |
Height/Weight | 6' 7"/ 264 lbs. |
Birthday | 06/15/1977 |
Birthplace | Denver, CO |
College | Brigham Young |
Years played | 10 |
Drafted | 2002, 2nd round, 29th pick by Bills |
Texans sign DEs Ogunleye, Denney
To add depth to the defensive end position after losing Connor Barwin for the season, the Texans have signed DEs Adewale Ogunleye and Ryan Denney.
Bills won't offer contracts to Owens, Denney, Reed
The Bills have announced that they will not offer contracts to three of their unrestricted free agents: WR Terrell Owens, DE Ryan Denney and WR Josh Reed. The trio will be free to sign with any team in the league ...
After signing Mark Anderson on Wednesday, the Houston Texans waived Denney.|||||||
The Texans signed Denney as a free agent after backup defensive end Connor Barwin broke his ankle in the season opener. Denney was inactive for last week's game against Oakland. Houston has been looking for a defensive end to complement All-Pro Mario Williams, who has five of the team's nine sacks this season.
Fifteen Buffalo Bills players are on injured reserve after Denney was placed on the season-ending list Wednesday. To fill Denney's place on the roster, the Bills claimed offensive tackle Patrick Estes off waivers, a day after he was released by San Francisco.|||||||
Denney is out after hurting his foot in an 8-0 loss at Cleveland last weekend. The Bills did not specify whether the injury was to Denney's left foot, which he broke during a preseason game in August and led to him missing the first seven games this season. A six-year NFL veteran, Denney had 37 tackles, a sack, a fumble recovery and forced fumble in seven games, including two starts, this season.
Denney suffered a broken left foot in a preseason game against Atlanta on Friday night, according to the Buffalo News.|||||||
Head coach Dick Jauron told the newspaper he's not sure if the injury is season-ending, but said, "At the very least he'll miss a substantial amount of time here.†Denney's absence is of particular concern in the season's opening weeks with fellow defensive end Anthony Hargrove suspended four games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Denney had two tackles and two assists to help the Bills to a 24-10 win over Green Bay on Sunday. The defensive end was listed as questionable with a right hamstring injury that he suffered during a 28-6 loss to New England on Oct. 22. He used the bye week to rest.|||||||
Denney is listed as day-to-day with a right hamstring injury that he suffered during the Bills' 28-6 loss to New England on Sunday.|||||||
The Bills have a bye this week before hosting Green Bay on Nov. 5. The reserve defensive end has 22 tackles with three sacks and one forced fumble in seven games this season.

NAVY Seal Chris Kyle Murdered at Charity Event in Texas
There seem to be some conflicting reports about the death of celebrated NAVY Seal Chris Kyle today:
Crazy. Chris Kyle was at Rough Creek doing a charity event for wounded vets and one of them turned gun on him, killed him and another vet.
— Sports Bock (@SportsBock) February 3, 2013
Someone killed Chris Kyle today about 20miles from our Ranch.Chris was a navy seal he was the most lethal sniper in the U.S military history
— Karen Seay (@KarenTwoStar) February 3, 2013
Two individuals are reportedly dead in a suspected homicide reported near Glen Rose.
Erath County Sheriff's investigators, Stephenville police and Texas Rangers are reportedly at the scene at this time.
Police are reportedly searching for a vehicle in connection with the deaths. The pickup truck is described as a large black four-door truck, elevated high off of the ground. The suspect vehicle is described as completely covered in Rhino Liner with a skull sticker in the back window.
A former Tarleton State University student who wrote the best-selling book, "American Sniper," was one of two victims shot and killed at Rough Creek Lodge late Saturday afternoon.
Chris Kyle and a friend were found dead at Rough Creek's shooting range.
"We have identified a strong suspect," Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant said.
Law enforcement officials throughout the county were searching for a large four-door Ford pickup that is high off the ground and covered in Rhino liner. There is a skull sticker in the back window.
Authorities had not made an arrest as of press time Saturday night.
The suspect is considered to be armed and dangerous. Anyone who sees a vehicle matching that description is urged to call 911 immediately.
Bryant would not release additional information about the case, but a source working at Rough Creek Lodge confirmed that one of the victims is Kyle.
Kyle is a former Navy SEAL who served four tours of duty in Iraq, where he was given the nickname "The Devil of Ramadi" by insurgents.
My blog covered a story involving Chris Kyle last year where he claimed that he had punched out Jesse Ventura for spouting anti-Military slurs at a bar.
Whatever happened, may he rests in peace, and his murderer is caught quickly and prosecuted to the furthest extent of the law.
GLEN ROSE — Two people were killed Saturday at a resort in Erath County, according to an alert from the sheriff's office.
One of the victims at the Rough Creek Lodge near Glen Rose was a Navy Seal sniper, according to the alert.
A warning was issued for the suspect, who was believed to be driving a black Ford F-350 truck with large tires and rims.
The suspect was believed to be highly trained with military experience.

Man suspected of killing Chris Kyle is Eddie Routh. He was taken into custody in Lancaster.

Eddie Routh, identified by news sources as the murderer, had been busted last month for DWI:
Eddie Ray Routh, 24, of Lancaster, DWI with open container, $1,500 bond.
@soopermexican KHOU is reporting suspect is another soldier he was helping who had PTSD. Other victim was suspect's neighbor.
— Jessica Heddings (@JessicaHeddings) February 3, 2013
Here's a video of Chris on the Conan O'Brien show, talking about his book:
Chris wrote an autobiography called "American Sniper" – if you haven't purchased it yet, it might help his family. If there's any way to donate to them, I'll post that too.
http://www.facebook.com/marina.yoshida.52 Marina Yoshida
Time to get rid of the Praetorian Guards…
"PTSD Shitbird kills an American Hero".
Wanna bet the press will be looking at gun racks in the ex-military perp's truck, and not at the exemplary lives of the ex-military victims?
Wanna bet the press will not look at the incidence of PTSD during WW2, Korea and Vietnam, and tell us the difference between the incidence of gun murders by civilians as opposed to veterans?
In ObamaWorld, you better get used to it.
THEY will come after us, so it's essential that WE are armed.
http://evilbloggerlady.blogspot.com/ Evi L. Bloggerlady
That is terrible news. May they RIP. I am so sorry and my condolences to his family.
RIP Chris. Stories coming out this soon re: PTSD make me skeptical. It is so easy to quickly conclude that it must have been a "crazy vet". Wait until actual facts are known.

Core2Duo 2.66Ghz Processor

Motherboard - MSI MS-7392
Windows Vista 64bit
Monitor resolution 1440x900
I have tried updating the drivers to the latest and lowering the resolution in game but this still runs very jerkily. Also tried lowering the effects in game. I'm not sure what the best settings are for the HD5450 for this, any help would be appreciated or if AMD could create a game profile for this and let me have it that would be great.
HD5450 is the lowest end gpu only fit to be in a HTPC, I am surprised you can run any game at all with it. And the new aliens game is ****, it ***** **** and is the worst game I've seen in a while.. it is most likely unoptimized and perform like **** on many systems. And I love the first Alien movies and original avp games, but this one is a turd!
Well that's weird because I have it running just fine now, shows what you know. Also I think the games pretty good. Sure the graphics are a bit dated but its not all about graphics.
err yes I do actually, hd5450 is better than hd2600. I know this because I've had both cards. Wish I hadn't bothered posting here now for condescending replies.
Here are the benchmarks for the 5450 (235) http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/common_gpus.html and the 2600

Wow that's really weird actually. I upgraded my video card because it couldn't play some game or other, and i found the 5450 to perform better and enabled me to play said game, but according to those results it is a worse card. That's really weird.
