Re: Gas Sticks
Nice looking stick. I wonder if you will have a problem with Case with the IH emblem on them. I had a couple of those when Rick made them.
I remember making hay, We had breakfast, Fueled, Checked oil, greased and what ever else needed doing, feed the chickens water and feed the horses tied on in the barn. Then we checked the horses in the lot as well as the beef in the other lot, and fed them if necessary. Next it was empty a wagon or two that we had not put up in the mow the night before, salt the hay good and then fold the tarps we took off the loads. Now it was time to cut, rake or stack bales on the wagons. Eventually it got to be lunch so it was b ring in what ever wagons were full, shut down and turn off the fuel lines. After lunch it was fuel, check oil and water again. After supper it was fuel snd check again. The point I make is that we never had to worry about fuel levels because when we got fed the tractors did too.

Re: Gas Sticks
very nice.. not wanting trade secretss, but how'd you print those? They look professionally done.
I've never met a tractor I didn't like....but I have found some that were greatly annoying....

Re: Gas Sticks
if you print them on redwood lath the fuel level will be easier to see.

Re: Gas Sticks
Pretty slick! Nice work
Re: Gas Sticks
Clint your gas dip sticks look really nice, I like the multi color print rather than just the plain old black on the ones I had years ago for a MF.
Very nice and very handy item to have and with your talent you could custom print them for any occasion.
I have frequented this site many times over the years, but this is my first time posting.
Re: Gas Sticks
Very nice Clint!! It would be neat to have one for a Super A/140 as well......although they do have much bigger tanks and wouldn't be prone to running out as easy.

TORONTO -- Mike McDade and the Blue Jays officially parted ways on Friday afternoon, as it was announced that the Minor League first baseman had been claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Indians.
McDade was designated for assignment by Toronto on Nov. 20 to create space on its 40-man roster. He was once considered a promising prospect, but his path to the big leagues had been blocked by Adam Lind and David Cooper.
The 23-year-old McDade hit .275 with 15 homers and 49 RBIs for Double-A New Hampshire in 2012 before receiving a late-season promotion to Las Vegas. He was originaly selected by Toronto in the sixth round of the 2007 First-Year Player Draft.
The Blue Jays also announced on Friday that utility man Mike McCoy and right-hander Joel Carreno have cleared waivers. They were both assigned to Triple-A Buffalo and will likely receive invitations to the Major League portion of Spring Training.
McCoy has spent the vast majority of the past three seasons shuffling between Toronto and the Minors. He is a career .190 hitter with three homers and 20 RBIs in 170 games. McCoy would earn $199,515 at Triple-A, compared to $501,300 with the Blue Jays.
Carreno made his Major League debut in 2011. He is 1-2 with a 4.06 ERA in 22 career games and has struck out 30 batters in 37 2/3 innings. Carreno will earn $114,412 in the Minors, compared to $493,900 in the Majors.
Right-hander Cory Wade also cleared waivers, but he has elected free agency instead of a Minor League assignment. Wade, who was claimed off waivers from the Yankees in October, is 11-6 with a 3.65 ERA and 137 strikeouts over four seasons at the big league level.

CNHI News Service
A photo of one graduate's cake has gone viral on Reddit due to a bakery mix up that left a cat, instead of a cap, drawn on her head.
Wesh.com reported that 22-year-old Indiana University graduate Laura Gambrel's mother ordered the cake, requesting that a photo of Gambrel feature a cap on her head.
The bakery misheard and instead drew a little black cat in frosting on top of Gambrel's head.
"My mom ordered a graduation cake with a cap drawn on. I guess they misheard," Gambrel wrote on her post on Reddit.
"When I went to pick it up at the store, I could not stop laughing," Gambrel's mother, Carol Gambrel, 59, told Good Morning America. "I told them not to scrape it off."

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) - Everything is everything and nothing is the same. The final weekend of the SEC regular season is Ball-On-TV Paradise.
Couch Potato has taken a militant stance to avoid being disturbed by family, friends, neighbors, zombies, creditors, aluminum-siding salespersons and law enforcement serving warrants, subpoenas or both.
The domicile has been converted into an impervious doomsday bunker. Have established the perimeter using 5,000 yards of high-tensile, hot spring steel barbed tape electrified by two dozen truck batteries attached by 2.54mm pitch jumper cables.
Excavated 15' wide by 6' deep trenches around front and back doors then reinforced the sides with 1/2-inch rebar grid before pneumatically projecting wet-mix shotcrete onto the walls at a minimum of 2,500 psi. Once set, they were lined with plastic and filled with hydrofluoric acid - that's what Walt and Jesse used to dissolve the bodies in Breaking Bad. Nobody's getting past that.
Supplies have been laid in, including abundant quantities of 10-year-old fermented corn beverage, a quarter-ton of ice, a multitude of raw oysters, cocktail sauce and a keg of barley pop.
Again this week, instead of predicting scores – which now more than ever would incite obscene retorts from the lamebrains who infest college football chat rooms – we will quote the most appropriate movie possible for this situation: Gladiator.
Gracchus: The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the Senate, it's the sand of the Colosseum.
After a failure to thrive against Missouri last week, Ole Miss can still take over state gridiron dominance with a victory.
Well, it's something.
Mississippi State needs a win to go to a bowl, any bowl, and for Coach Dan Mullen to avoid more pressure than he's already under.
This game rests squarely on the shoulders of Mississippi QB Bo Wallace, and as we know from experience, that's no done deal.
Sometimes he's like Ronnie "Sunshine" Bass in Remember the Titans and sometimes he's more like Veronica Lake in This Gun for Hire. Both, like Bo, have perfect, golden, flowing hair – but Veronica Lake threw fewer interceptions.
Maximus: At my signal, unleash hell.
After stomping Johnny Football last week, the Tigers should be in a blood frenzy and prepared to inflict woe on the Razorbacks, who are on the verge of a particularly tragic season in the SEC, that is, not one single conference win.
John Smith won two last year. Yeah, that John Smith.
Proximo: We mortals are but shadows and dust. Shadows and dust, Maximus!
Last week, incredibly, Florida lost to Georgia Southern, which failed to complete a single pass. A team built on defense gave up 444 rushing yards to an FCS school. And lost. At home.
Well, if you're embattled Gator mentor Will Muschamp, here's some more bad news:
Chances are, FSU will complete many passes, even with Jameis Winston having his mind occupied with a certain litigation possibility that is growing more heinous with each passing day.
The Swamp is going to be full of angry Gators, and they'll all be in the stands.
Lucilla: Is Rome worth one good man's life? We believed it once. Make us believe it again. He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him.
Gracchus: Who will help me carry him?
After all Georgia has suffered this year, will fate allow them the final indignity of a loss to Tech?
Redshirt junior quarterback Hutson Mason takes over for Aaron Murray, who tore his ACL last week, capping the billion other injuries that befell the Dawgs this season.
If Mason gets hurt, his backup is Brian Griffin, the cartoon dog on Family Guy – no, wait. This just in...
Quintus: People should know when they are conquered.
Maximus: Would you, Quintus? Would I?
Here's Auburn's chance to get even for the trees.
The winners of this year's Iron Bowl will play either Missouri or South Carolina for the SEC Championship. The losers will hear about it until the day they die.
Alabama is ranked No. 1 and Auburn is No. 4, the highest rankings for Iron Bowl contestants since the Big Bang.
Coaches be like, oh, yeah, it's a big game, they're all big, but different, like snowflakes. And it's not about winning, we're just here to make a difference in young people's lives.
When Gus Malzahn took over after last year's dreadful 3-9 season, he said it wouldn't be long before Auburn would be right up there with Alabama. He delivered faster than Federal Express.
Gus says his team is all level-headed and not overwrought, and win or lose, they all get ice cream. I made up the part about ice cream.
Nick Saban is a guy you can actually believe when he says he takes each game one at a time and this is just another game because he's really weird that way.
But this week, even Saban showed some emotion - you just have to know how to read him.
In his Monday press conference, Saban called Auburn a "very, very, very good team" on first reference and a few minutes later said they were "very, very good. "
Five "verys" and two "goods" is a new Monday record.
Here's what it boils down to: Alabama's got to play assignment defense against Auburn's tricky read option, shut down the running game and make Nick Marshall beat them passing.
Marshall's hit about 58 percent of his throws for 1,500 yards or so, nine touchdowns and five interceptions. He hasn't had to throw much this year. Forget that.
He will throw, whether he wants to or not, come Saturday.
Here's some more to mull over:
Alabama gave up six touchdowns to Texas A&M - and six touchdowns to everybody else. TJ Yeldon has scored 12 touchdowns himself.
Auburn scored three touchdowns on LSU – and 47 on everybody else.
Auburn's defense is … pretty horrible. But Alabama had four turnovers against Mississippi State for some reason. Do that Saturday and see what happens.
Maximus: Brothers, what we do in life... echoes in eternity.
This one has absolutely no meaning in the SEC race, but South Carolina could assuage its disappointments by mashing Clemson – which is doable, as Florida State so resoundingly proved.
If that overtime field goal hadn't hit the upright against Missouri, the Gamecocks would already be waiting to see which roughed-up champion emerged from the Alabama-Auburn game.
As it is, they're hoping for Johnny Football to do them a solid and knock off the Tigers, so they can upset UA or AU then go to the Sugar Bowl and a rematch with Central Florida. Zzzzz.
Proximo: Listen to me. Learn from me. I was not the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me. Win the crowd and you will win your freedom.
Could it be the SEC swan song for the great Manziel, the boy king who turned Texas A&M into the I Love Lucy of college football TV ratings?
Or will he stay yet another year for the glory of the … yeah, this is it. Also for super wide receiver Mike Evans, a couple of future NFL offensive linemen, maybe even coach Kevin Sumlin.
They could all go out with a bang by beating the other SEC upstart.
Missouri is really good, y'all. They just hammered Ole Miss last week. James Franklin is back and should be closer to full speed, and that defense is real.
Missouri could beat Alabama or Auburn. That's what I said.
Maximus: My name is Gladiator.
The other ones: Vanderbilt keeps the possibility of a second-straight nine-win season alive against the egregious Wake Forest; Tennessee travels to Kentucky for a really depressing game.
Maximus: Are you not entertained?

Saving for College - Pay Student Loan Interest While Still in School
If at all possible, try to make interest payments on student loans even while the student is still in school. That way you or your child will only owe the principal, not interest plus the interest on that interest. In many cases the payment could be less than $50 per month, but the long-term savings can be useful. According to Sallie Mae, the average student could be able to reduce the repayment period by as much as 50% while saving almost 30% on the total cost of the loan. While it sounds counter-intuitive to pay while you are still borrowing, interest payments could generate dramatic overall savings on college loans.

I purchase Nischi Newborn and then purchased this doll Nischi's First Birthday. The doll is beautiful, the only thing is she looks identical with Nischi's Newborn, doesn't look a year older and is the same size as the first Nischi. The only difference in the 2 dolls is the outfits. As for the dolls themselves they are Beautiful! My granddaughter absolutely loves her, but was a little dissapointed that they looked the same.
Posted by dolls4me, 11/17/2013 3:18:16 AM
Nischi is very pretty and more than I expected! Great quality! Her coloring is nice , her hair is nice, and she has beautiful eyes. You can't go wrong with this one!

Cast Iron Insert Boot
This cast-iron boot fits almost all inserts. It is designed to cover the opening of the insert and adapt to HomeSaver Roundflex. It has an outside base size of 10 1/8" wide X 15 3/8" long X 5 3/8" high. Inner dimensions are 9 1/8" wide X 14 3/4" long.
This boot is designed so HomeSaver Roundflex will fit snugly into its round collar. You can also use HomeSaver Pro or UltraPro with this insert boot if you use a cast-iron insert boot adaptor. The collar detaches from the base to give you two mounting options. Installed one way, it forms a 10° angle with the base; turned 180°, it gives a 30° angle.
Attach the boot by drilling and bolting, or by tapping and screwing into the insert top. You'll then seal the Boot's base to the insert with Furnace Cement, Flue Goo, or Flat fiberglass Stove Gasket. Attach the liner to the boot with 1 1/4", No. 10 self-drilling stainless screws.
*NOTE: For inserts with large rectangular openings, see our HomeSaver Insert Adaptor System.

Depart the pier for the drive to the South Putuo Temple. Located on the southern outskirts of Xiamen, the South Putuo Temple was built during the Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago. It is so named because it lies to the south of Putuoshan, one of the most respected Buddhist venues in China.

After entering via the front gate, you will walk to the Heavenly King Hall, which houses a huge laughing Buddha accompanied by four heavenly kings on either side.

In a letter dated May 22, 2009, Navy representatives announced their intention to dissolve the RAB. This is not the first time the Navy has threatened to take this action. Indeed, whenever a critical impasse has arisen regarding key shipyard cleanup matters, a threat to disband the elected body recognized by Congress as the legitimate organized voice for public comment, dissent and scientific debate has been made.

Get It Sold
Closing drama's you know of or have experienced...
with me:...
'Buyer' called night before and said 'sorry', they changed their minds.
Buyer said at closing table "I didn't know the taxes were so much!" We did close tho.
Buyer brought large amount of cash to closing and the agency feared it was money laundering!!!! We did get it all worked out...he had to go get a cashiers check!!!
'Buyers' disappeared a week before supposed closing week ... deciding they would just move on!!!!!
Buyers didn't show up for closing due to money didn't come thru///TWIceeeeee!!!! Did finally close.
JUST Wonderinggggg...what is the percentage of closing that go smoothly???!!!???
With most closings, I think there's always some element of uncertainty/concern.
When we sold our first home, our buyer was selling his home to his friend. About 3 weeks before our closing, we asked our realtor for assurances that the buyer's buyer had qualified for a loan and was doing all the things he was supposed to do so that he could close on that house on time. He had been dragging his feet, but fortunately pulled it together.
The house we were buying at that time was a challenge. We submitted our bid while the house was in foreclosure. The lender didn't respond to our bid and sold it on the courthouse steps instead. We put in a new bid with the investor who bought it. Another party submitted an identical bid to ours except that the closing on the house they were selling was a few days after our scheduled closing. I guess the extra few days earlier we could close was motivating for the seller as our bid was accepted.
Buyer client saw hurt animal on side of road on way to showing her houses. Spent all afternoon at vet. Vet says much surgery was needed. Eventually found buyer a home. Cat lived, buyer no where to be found day of closing. Found her at vet feeding cat chicken from KFC.
Another buyer came to closing with briefcase full of cash at closing handcuffed to his wrist.
This was in the 1970's. He was wearing a black suit, black shirt and white tie. No comment.
Buyers and sellers at closing table. Buyer stopped suddenly signing closing documents. Head hung. Wife says just give him a minute..his pacemaker will kick in..and it did and he continued to sign documents like nothing had happened.
Sold a house to a guy who wanted lots of shelves for his collection... of skulls. Found him the perfect house once I found out he didn't want mine ..and was talking about animal skulls. Brought him an alligator
skull for a closing gift. We closed Friday the 13. Freaky Friday.
Ooohhh... I love my life.This message has been edited. Last edited by: real estate lady,
Ohhhhhhh myyyyyyyy word!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Two stand out--our recent closing less than a month ago when we closed but mortgage compny refused to release money because of some small discrepancies with first bushes and then the water situation. Took a week but we finally resolved the issues. (See my posting titled Closed but Not for the whole drama in another of the real estate topics.)
Many years ago selling first ever owned house. As I was packing for the move, the buyers of our home decided to back out because they couldn't come up with $400. (We loaned them the money at no interest for 4 years to close the deal. It really burned me that they managed to purchase a decent sized boat and who knows what else after that and yet when our no interest loan came due we had to go after them to get our money.) Just days later as we loaded the last things on the truck, our realtor in the new town called to say the sellers of our next house were not going through with the deal because the job they were moving for had fallen through. We put things in storage and rented an apartment and started the search over and found a house pretty promptly. The sellers who had reneged on the first house paid for our storage and apartment rent.
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
Gwenda...did they pay those costs out of the goodness of their own hearts???
Actually they did with a bit of gentle encouragement of our realtor.
Although people probably provide the most amusing stories re closing day disasters, the ones that always makes me laugh is the discovery ON DAY OF CLOSING that the title isn't clear! Sudden realization that the purported seller doesn't have the authority to sell - usually a surviving spouse situation or children who just "assumed they had inherited the property" but neglected to actually complete a probate and the transfer of title!
Makes me wonder where the title officers, title/escrow company, underwriters and real estate professionals were during the process? So, word to the wise, when either selling or buying, order a preliminary title report to make sure the title is clear. If you don't have the experience to know, make sure you have the professionals on your team that do!
PS. Most times the problem is "solved" with expediated action by a hard-working attorney and staff working over-time as the buyers are brought to a stand-still and sellers are trying to decide whether to keep loading the pods or start unloading them! Don't let this happen to you!
I assure you there is nothing amusing about problems on closing day.
If there is a title problem we usually know days before closing, and if documents, the problems seem to be associated with the loan underwriting..verifications of re-inspections of credit, VA or FHA verifications of completed repair(s). Problems with health of the buyer or seller or death, accidents, mother in labor, are other surprises.
I once lost a sale years ago because the buyer decided to take her family to a reunion out of the country during loan processing. Just before closing they pulled her credit again (as the lender underwriter is required to do) and discoverd this fact. The buyer was denied closing.This message has been edited. Last edited by: real estate lady,
A couple come to mind. The night before a closing I was notified that the buyer had passed away and since it was an income property only his name was on the contract. Another time, at the title office waiting for close to begin, my buyer told me he had lost his job the day before but wanted to go ahead because he had another job lined up. He kept silent when title officer asked if all the info on the application was the same as stated at time of application.
Once had a buyer buying a $200k home with only $500 down- he kept finding issues and threatening to not close right up to day before close. Was pleasantly surprised to find him waiting for me at title office and he closed. That guy is probably the only customer I ever dealt with in almost 30yrs in business who I wish I had never met.
Our house was going on the market starting on a Saturday but the pictures and the details came out early about the house going on the market. We got a offer after the first couple looked at it on Monday but had clause about them selling their house. We sent it back saying we couldn't take it so they removed the clause then added some of our furniture to be included. We excepted the offer. All was going as planned with inspections and all other financials. Week of closing DH was flying to met movers on Tues and closing was to be on Thurs. Buyers agent called our agent on Tuesday to say they had to sell their house before they could buy our house. They wanted us to release their earnest money right away. I refused to give it up until the 30 day period was up. We lost 2 months of prime summer months and a 1% bonus DH's company gives for selling your house in the fist 60 days of listing. We lost about $20k when we finally sold to another buyer. Nothing we could do to buyers for not disclosing information since they said loan was approved with them knowing they had a house to sell. Underwriters turned them down.

From what I've read here, your buyers used a trick that's becoming more and more common. They had nothing to lose by removing the contingency that they sell their house first because they knew they could always get out of the closing via the financing contingency (since it remains in place until closing). For that reason, I would be leary of accepting a modified offer where the buyer originally included the contingency of selling their home.
Even if a seller/seller agent insists on proof of the buyer's loan approval during the pending period between offer acceptance and closing, the buyer can easily cause underwriters to reject the loan at the 11th hour by taking on other debts or making their savings/downpayment "disappear". I guess that's where trust in the integrity of the buying party comes into play despite the existence of a contract.
When we bought our house, our builder's rep told us about buyers they had for another house that failed to close because they had spent all their downpayment money on new furniture for it.
Since my experience re my previous post of buyer taking family on reunion during loan processing..I am quick to remind buyers not to make major purchases. Believe me, it's more of a speech than a reminder.
Disqualifying yourself from a mortgage "can" cause consequences, if proven.This message has been edited. Last edited by: real estate lady,
The sad thing is the buyers had pre-approval letter from lender so we tried to cover all our bases but underwriters said they needed to sell first. I think their realtor knew about the need to sell but could never prove anything. Called her broker and complained. They insisted they were out a lot of money on inspections and other fees. We changed realtors after this but lost most of the summer selling months. Our realtor paid the survey fee we were to have to pay. I think in the end the realtor was glad to be out of selling our house since my DH was not nice to them when we found out both were from Century 21 but from different offices. Can't tell me they both didn't know about the house needing to be sold.
Loves Tx
When the buyer came back with the offer I would have removed the financing contingency based on the approval...another words after inspection if they fail to close for any reason they forfeit their deposit.
Century 21 is a franchise company meaning it is very very likely that those agents did not have the same broker and no access to personal information of the other's client.
One of the worst moments at a closing was immediately after the sellers signed their docs and before the buyers signed theirs a call came in....the house was on fire and it burned to the ground. It was an awful time for both families.
Our Buyers offered "all cash" in the initial offer, BUT at my attorneys office a mortgage contingency was in the contract, but with proof if the mortgage did not go thru, they would pay cash.
On behalf of the bank an appraiser was sent to our home and then he went to the town clerk to see what CO's we had on our house. He told the clerk that we had a "home gym" so she opened a building permit in my name without me knowing this. Then here along comes the title company who picked up on an open building permit which is how we found out.
In the meantime we moved out of state and our fabulous realtor did battle with the clerk as we had a weight machine and stationary bike in the basement at the time of the inspection that once it was removed the space is an open basement - I can't even begin to tell you the hassle this caused. It actually held us up for two weeks as the clerk needed to see the space. She was on some sort of ego boost along with the buyers realtor who was a complete ***This message has been edited.

This isn't as exciting as the others, but when I sold my first home, I had a closing for the one I was buying the same day (about 3 hours later). When I arrived at the first closing, the buyer said they wanted to go back and check the house again (the pre-check), and THEIR realtor told them that the had the opportunity to do that earlier, and that they couldn't hold up the proceedings any more. It was their understanding that they had all day to run around and check things, which was odd, because their realtor had given them - in writing - the schedule of what happened when. I know this because he brought out the letter and reminded them that they had agreed to this. Evidently, they had been quite problematic to deal with and he had resorted to putting everything in writing and having them sign it. BUT - we closed on time, and I had time to get to my second closing..... They then showed up at the house 3 hours earlier than agreed with 6 children (family friends as well as their own kids) while the movers were trying to get my furniture out of the house. It was quite the day!!!!
DD recently sold her house to a first time buyer. Listing agreement was, of course, in black and white detailing all that stayed with the house...offer to purchase, black and white, no special contingencies or requests. 10pm, night before closing, DD gets a call from the realtor...buyer is upset because the curtains are gone, porch swing is gone, some pool furniture is gone...remember, none of these were listed or requested...buyer won't close unless they are returned! Because of the pending offer on DD's new house, she felt compelled to replace the items. Can't even describe the nightmare of finding all the items in storage! Here's the good part...listing agent advised DD what should be left (not window treatments), buyer's agent advised client what he should demand...BOTH agents work from the same office under the same broker. This is possibly the most unethical group I've ever encountered.
**Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain**
The worst was a buyer who was "trying" to get a loan from his pension but was supposedly having difficulty because he did not get a release during the divorce. Big mess, didn't close.
Another agent in the office is dealing with a problem now - her buyers received a large cash settlement. She went through the usual warning with them - they blew the majority of it on stuff. Now the closing is in doubt.
Fun and Info
I don't know which state your DD is in but here both parties would have had to agree to the same broker representing both parties in the transaction. In addition if it is a Designated Agency arrangement the 2 agents can not discuss the transaction - everything must go through the broker.
With that said - the buyer's agent should have counselled the buyer about what stays and what goes. The listing should have the items listed that stays if it is not bolted down. If the buyer's agent knew the buyer was interested in these things it was his responsibility to make the buyer aware that they were not included on the listing and they need to make a separate offer.
I don't see the agents as unethical, just not very good.
Fun and Info
I have seen several that couldn't close because the people spent a ton of money on stuff for the new house and then couldn't qualify due to debt. Just plain sad.........
Oh, there was lots more I didn't relate...believe me, they all acted unethically. You would not believe some of the "advice" that was given...like they had to wait 10 days after the offer was accepted to move forward with inspections, etc. I've bought and sold lots of real estate in this state and have never encountered this little "rule".
**Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain**
I have never had a problem closing ever, 5/5 times for me.
It would have been hillarious to have seen the client turn up the agency with a bag full of cash! What was he thinking? Did he not consider how that would look?
I would probably do the same if I had that much cash lying about though

A - Pours a very murky gold with a two finger white head. Left a decent amount of lacing.
S - Smells like mustard up front, a lot of pepper and clove, along with wheat. Definitely weird.
T - Once again, mustard up front, followed by some pepper and hay. Finished with some bubblegum.
M - Medium bodied with heavy carbonation.
O - Overall, this is the weirdest beer I have ever had. I'm giving it a solid three because I'm simply not sure what to think about it.

Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a huge blooming head,the aroma is a little spicey and fruity.The taste was definently yeasty and spicey with some juicy fruit notes as well.This beer has some very yeasty flavors to it the alcohol creeps up on ya after it sits awhile.Pretty good Belgian pale but thought it might be a little better.

Granny Smith apples are the first thing that comes to mind after tasting this beer. I've never really had a beer that tasted like this before. Surprisingly sour with a citric twang to it. Also deceptively strong considering how easy it is to drink. Not sure I'd buy it again at $9/bottle, but definitely a very interesting beer.

Appearance Light orange in color and very cloudy with a modest head that laced well.
Smell Nice malt and yeast aroma with big orange characteristics. Theres also some light spiciness in the nose as well. I can pick up the standard coriander and white pepper, among others.
Taste This one is lighter than I expected. The malt and yeast are barely there. The spicy orange flavor dominates. The 8.5 ABV comes on a little too strong on the pallet, too.
Mouthfeel This was kind of flat. Some of the other reviews go on about the carbonation, so maybe I got a bad bottle.
Drinkability This one just didnt do it for me. The absence of a strong malt base made this one go down more like a witbier than a BSPA.

I had always seen this beer sitting with the other 750ml Belgians at various beer purveyors in and around New York City. The bottle seemed gimmicky, but I finally caved and bought one.
The smell was nice and spicy, a bit like a Brooklyn Local One, but the taste was much more sour. I wasn't really expecting this, and I'm not a huge fan of this flavor. However, it was nice to have something surprisingly different.
Ideally, I'd have just one smaller 330ml bottle (do they make this?), but I'll probably finish the whole bottle.

Pours a sunshine yellow, bright golden color with a fluffy white head; volatile beer that produces a large head with a modest pour, moderate lacing on the way down. Some sediment floating around in this hazy, golden abyss of a beer.
The nose is really great; full of sweet esters and savory alcohol. Deep spices, clove and pepper come to mind. Fruity sweetness from the malts and bread-like yeast are also apparent. Smells very akin to a sweeter version of a tripel. Then again, what's the real difference between a tripel and a BSPA anyway?
First sip hits the mouth very crisp and tight, lots of carbonation. Warmth piles up from the alcohol, slightly medicinal in character. This is counterbalanced immediately by an abundance of sweet and fruity esters; bananas, bubblegum, cloves, pineapple, white pepper, apple skins - all noticeable on the palate.
Slight bitterness and floral tones make their way into the beer near the tail end, giving a nice balance to the sweetness. The finish leaves your mouth with a yeast flavor in the back, complete with a decrescendo of sweetness, spice, and mild bitterness that fade out perfectly. Medium body, almost on the thick side - heavy carbonation.
This is my favorite brew from the guys over at Huyghe. It's quite strong at 8.5% ABV and could easily sneak up on you, so take this one slow. You'll want to savor it, anyway. This is some very tasty stuff.

First time I met it was in a Belgian pub in Holland in a snifter at a good temperature.
Excellent design and unique logo.
Heaps of head. Intense sweet fruit flavour and sweet spices hitting you instantly. High carbonation very balanced with the yeast. Simply delicious and easy to drink for 8.5 % - became very jolly afterwards!

Delirium Tremens 25.4 oz corked and caged. Belgian strong pale ale 8.5% alcohol, poured into ommegang oversized wine glass. Imported 3/2010.
A- Pours a beautiful crisp and clear yellow orange fluid that boast a one inch head that lingers the whole brew. Lacing is excellent with spider web links top to bottom.
S- Smell is of Belgian yeast, sweet grainy malts, mild alcohol esters, with hints of grassy hops.
T-M- Taste is a massive amount of grass, lemon, pear, and starfruit hoppyness. Maltiness is a light but appearent sweet prune and fig bite. Yeasty bite is what follows in a musty and chalky mouthfeel that creates a mild carbonation slipping down the tongue smoothly.
D- Dangerously drinkable with nothing less than a triple taste for a strong pale ale alcohol content to tell you differently.

A great Belgian Trippel with a high alcohol content at about 8.5%. Exactly what one would expect from a traditional belgian ale, very spicy and unique yet full bodied and strong. Additionally, it comes in a very cool white ceramic bottle.. A great beer to start exploring belgian beers with!

As humorous as the name is, it does go against the BA ethic. It's not cool to make fun of alcoholism, especially a withdrawal symptom that can kill you. </> gets off high horse.
This beer has a great rep, so I am looking forward to trying. I purchased it at the new Jewel in the West Loop, Chicago.
A: Poured from a 1 pint 9.4 fl oz bottle in to a tulip glass, it gave a nice big fluffy two finger head. I had to be careful with the pour because the head rose so quickly. Color is dark straw and hazy. Fast moving pillars of carbonation rising to the surface. Head becomes craggy and creates instant lacing. Great head retention.
S: Has a nice yeasty, malty aroma. There is a freshness, like straw. There's some fruit, some candy sweetness and a tart citrus type kick. Pretty complex nose.
T: Malt front and fruit finish with a dry, crisp aftertaste. There is a hint of hop but only just enough to give it a little bitterness with the dry thirst quenching wheat-esque aftertaste. Complex stuff going on in the taste too. Some candy, honey, spices including coriander and cloves. Fruit comes across like pear to me. The alcohol doesn't stand out but after a couple of glasses, I started to feel the warmth. There is a lot going on but it is well balanced and not aggressive at all. The overall impact is a tanginess but not cloying. An enjoyable drink.
M: Nice smooth medium mouthfeel. Plenty of carbonation but gentle in the mouth.
D: This is a fine brew. I am not the biggest fan of the style but I can appreciate a good beer when I drink one. Not a session beer but nice to sip out of my tulip glass. I'd like to pair this with good food.

Poured from a 11.2 oz. bottle into a chalice style glass.
A: Golden yellow, clear, with about 1/2" of white foamy head. Great head retention with tiny clinging bubbles lacing down the glass. Looks fantastic!
S: Spiced fruit smells with hints of malt and a very mild yeast on the nose.
T: Light malts perfectly matched with hops and spices; additional flavors of apricot and crisp apple or pear kissed with honey. Flavors run to the dry side. Clean finish with little linger. Very nice.
M&D: The body of this brew is relatively light and quite carbonated. The carbonation is abundant and persistent, with large bubbles reminiscent of soda pop. Despite the bubbles, it goes down quite smoothly. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Highly recommended!!

Comic books haven't always been a place where African-Americans can find characters they relate to. Black comic characters ranged from being barely noticeable and featuring blatantly disrespectful instances, to receiving lessened moments of racism from decade to decade. DC Comics didn't have a black superhero who could stand on his own until 1977 when Black Lightning and his ability to create and manipulate electricity and electromagnetic fields was introduced.
Marvel Comics beat them to the punch by 11 years with the Black Panther. He first debuted in "Fantastic Four" number 52 in 1966. Created by Jack Kirby, the Black Panther rules over the southern African kingdom of Wakanda. He dons a suit made of vibranium, a nearly impermeable metal found only in his country, and also is an elite level martial artist and technological mastermind.
Captain America's trusted sidekick, the Falcon, would swoop in on the scene in 1969. In fact, his teaming with Cap was the first time a black comic character was a co-star to a major comic book character. There have been other heroes and villains of apparent African descent who appeared prior to 1970, such as August Durant of the Secret Six (DC Comics) and Jackie Johnson of Sergeant Rock's Easy Company (DC Comics 1960). However, there weren't many characters developed and layered enough to carry an entire comic book series on his or her own at DC or Marvel.
The Falcon would be joined by Power Man aka Luke Cage in Marvel's fast-growing pantheon of black super heroes in 1972, the vampire hunter Blade came along a year later - introduced in "Tomb of Dracula" number 10 in 1973. Marvel also introduced an Asian character, Shang-Chi Master of Kung-Fu, around the same time. It was clear they were trying to be inclusive and to tap into a market of underserved comic book readers.
Other than the introduction of ex-Marine John Stewart as a part-time member of the Green Lantern Corp (DC Comics) in 1971, as well as some smaller, less powerful characters dispersed here and there, DC's black characters were just plain wack. Marvel's Power Man and Iron Fist were the second multi-racial super hero team. They debuted in "Heroes for Hire" #1 back in 1972. DC Comics was very late to the party as far as fielding a respectable black super hero goes. Black Lightning came along in 1977. But Marvel was all about the one up. They introduced with great fanfare Ororo Munroe, aka Storm of the X-Men, in 1975.
I never forgot that Marvel was the first to feature a black super hero of merit and I was inspired to become a lifelong fan because of it. Comic books were a welcome escape. I could leave the hood whenever I needed and go on missions to save the Earth for 25 cents in the 70s, 50 cents in the 80s and up to a $1.50 in the early 90s.
But early on, some comic book publishers had the misguided idea to use "black" as a descriptive prefix to the name of any hero of African origin. Black Lightning, Black Vulcan, Black Goliath, Black Racer, the Black Spider, Black Manta and so on. DC Comics was guilty of this offense more than anyone else, but Marvel had its fair share of naming faux pas as well. I was happy to see an increase in black superheroes as any other lover of comic books. But the fact that almost every character had to be given the "black" marker in his actual name as some sort of self-segregating practice of identification was just flat out ridiculous.
Another stereotypical practice of comic publishers in the 70s and 80s was having every black superhero be from Harlem. Power Man was from Uptown, along with Falcon and a slew of others. Falcon was actually a street hustler who was rescued from the life by Captain America.
I mean, really?
The 80s brought an influx of ever more powerful, popular, and culturally accurate characters in comic books. Cyborg debuted in DC Comics Presents number 26 in 1980. While the 90s would see DC Comics pick up the pace as well with Firestorm, the Blue Beetle, The Atom and others. But Marvel was already the publisher of choice for many in the inner city long before then. This love of the genre can be seen in the aliases that rappers of the early 90s assumed. Method Man chose Johnny Blaze aka the Ghost Rider. Ghostface Killah picked Tony Stark aka Iron Man. And lest we forget rapper MF Doom's masked imagery is a homage to the great comic book villain Dr. Victor Von Doom.
But today, with the advent and exponential growth of portable devices, and the price for a single book being over $2.00, comics have waned in popularity from their Golden Age. But the culture they helped create lives on as fathers, uncles, and grandfathers pass them on to sons and daughters who themselves become fans of the next generation lead by the comic book phenomenon in film and TV.
Samuel L. Jackson successfully played S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Nick Fury, a character who was previously white in the Avengers, as well as other Marvel tie-ins. Film characters that are traditionally of another race often cause comic book fans to lose their minds when a familiar character is re-colored for the purpose of casting the hottest new thespian. When Heimdall was played by Idris Elba in "Thor 2: The Dark World," nerds across the globe lost their minds. Some of it was just plain racism, while others were legitimately concerned with accuracy.
Honestly, when Michael B. Jordan was cast as the traditionally blonde haired, blue eyed Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, I was vehemently against it. No offense, but comic book nerds like characters to remain as close to the original blueprint as possible. Any deviation is frowned upon. Both Terrence Howard and Don Cheadle played James "Rhodey" Rhodes, the best friend to Tony Starks who would become the similarly armored hero War Machine.
In the upcoming "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier" Anthony Mackie plays Falcon. As most comic book lovers are already happily aware of, they all were originally black characters.
Though comic books are fictional in nature, they are a reflection of African-American morals that other media offerings often lack. The importance of inclusion is something that Marvel appears to have taken seriously for over 40 years and that tradition still continues to this day. In 2011, Marvel introduced a black Latino character named Miles Morales to replace Peter Parker, who had been killed in that story arc as Spider-Man. Though the "real" Spider-Man was not dead because this took place in an alternate universe, the comic book world was up in arms because of what was deemed a blatant attempt at political correctness.
The question of whether art imitates life or vice versa is an ongoing dialectic. While there are an ever increasing number of characters of African descent in comic books and at the movie theater, the young and impressionable are done a great injustice whenever comic books take a myopic, whitened version of existence. All heroes are not white, and all villains aren't black. The real world features people from all ethnicities, backgrounds and genders who are committing heroic deeds every single day. It's only right that this fact is reflected in all mediums of communication, be they fact, fiction, illustrated with ink and color pencil, television pixels or in 3D.

Title comes with heavy heart for Halos
Owner, GM remember Adenhart, Gomez in victory
ANAHEIM -- Angels owner Arte Moreno and general manager Tony Reagins both expressed pleasure that the club clinched its fifth American League West title in the past six years on Monday, but both also acknowledged it came with heavy hearts.
After all, this season has been a challenge for the Angels as the club had to battle though the deaths of both longtime consultant Preston Gomez, who died in January at age 86, and pitcher Nick Adenhart, who died in a car accident on April 9 just hours after pitching in his first game of the season.
"I look at [winning the division] as for both Preston Gomez and Nick Adenhart," Moreno said. "Preston was [Mike Scioscia's] mentor, so losing Preston and then losing Nick was rough."
The Angels honored both Gomez and Adenhart with patches on their jerseys all season while also keeping Adenhart's locker intact at home and on the road.
And the club further honored the two by continuing to play baseball just the way Gomez and Adenhart would've wanted by clinching its third straight division title.
"It's been a challenge, but the guys stepped up," Reagins said. "The most important thing is that we stay focused and Mike did a great job keeping us focused in that regard."
Scioscia admitted it was a challenge to keep the focus, especially after the unexpected loss of Adenhart, but that the team thought of Adenhart every step of the way.
"We remembered Nick before we started every game," Scioscia said. "He's been with us the whole year. We've been playing with heavy hearts."
So while the club will not soon forget both the memories of Adenhart and Gomez, Moreno said the next challenge will be to win the World Series in their honor this season.
"Our goal is to a win a championship and we still haven't accomplished what we want to do," Moreno said. "We still have a lot of work to do."

Hamilton named King of Baseball
Astros announcer to meet fans at team store Dec. 15-16
HOUSTON -- Astros Hall of Fame radio broadcaster Milo Hamilton was named the 2009 King of Baseball at the annual Winter Meetings banquet in Indianapolis on Thursday night.
Hamilton, who has called Astros games for 25 years, became the first announcer to win the award and joined a group of winners that includes former New York Yankees pitcher Lefty Gomez, who won the award in 1986, and former Phillies general manager Pat Gillick, who won it in 2008.
The King of Baseball is a tradition in which Minor League Baseball salutes a veteran from the professional baseball world for long-time dedication and service.
"To get this honor is something that I never dreamed of," Hamilton said. "I'm thrilled and excited, and for me, it's just unbelievable to be associated with the previous winners. It's the names on that list that floor you, and when I think about the people that have won this before me, this just means so much to me."
Hamilton has been announcing Astros games since 1985. He began broadcasting in the Major Leagues in 1953, and his 64 years of air time include stops with St. Louis, the Chicago Cubs and White Sox, Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Houston.
He received the Ford C. Frick Award in 1992 from the Baseball Hall of Fame, an honor presented annually to a member of the broadcasting fraternity for major contributions to the game of baseball.
Hamilton has been behind the microphone for some of baseball's greatest moments, which are chronicled in his newly released CD "A Call For The Ages." Copies of the CD are available for purchase at the Astros Team Store located inside Minute Maid Park's Union Station.
Hamilton will be at the Team Store visiting with fans and signing autographs on Tuesday, Dec. 15, from 2-5 p.m. CT and on Wednesday, Dec. 16, from noon-4 p.m.
