SEC track, field: Arkansas men, Lady Vols win; Kentucky finishes seventh in both team eventsMarch 1, 2009
The title is the 12th in 13 years and 16th in 18 years for Arkansas, but the first under Coach Chris Bucknam — successor to the legendary John McDonnell.
Tennessee rallied to edge defending champion LSU for the women's championship, 111-105. Arkansas was third with 97 points.
Kentucky placed seventh in both the men's (48 points) and women's (49 1/2) competition.
"We've got a lot of holes to fill, and it's trying to balance the scholarship money across the event areas so that we're more competitive across the board," UK Coach Don Weber said. "But for what we had out there today, especially on the men's side but even on the women's side, I was really pleased with the way they competed. Their will to win.
"So we're not where we want to be. We've got have more depth, more balance. But the way they competed, I was pretty pleased."
UK's top efforts came from Mikel Thomas, runner-up in the 60-meter hurdles, and Jose Acevedo, who was third in the 400, seventh in the 200 and anchored the Wildcats' third-place 4-by-400 relay.
"Man, there's nobody that wanted it more than me," Thomas said after running second to South Carolina's Jason Richardson. "I got out great. I had it for like three hurdles, smashed that No. 4, but I stayed in there and fought all the way across the line and gave it all I had."
Richardson clocked 7.72. Thomas, a senior who competed for Trinidad and Tobago at last summer's Beijing Olympics, was timed in 7.77.
Acevedo won his 400 heat in 46.85, but was upstaged by second-heat winner Robert Simmons of LSU (46.22). Acevedo's 200 of 21.14 placed him just behind teammate Justin Austin (20.99). Georgia's Torrin Lawrence won in 20.81.
The 4-by-400 went to Florida (3:05.82), followed by South Carolina (3:06.11) and the Wildcats (3;06.78).
"It was a really good day," said Acevedo, a senior who ran the 200 for Venzuela at last summer's Beijing Olympics. "I ran 46 (seconds) twice in the 400. I haven't run under 47 in like three years, so I was pretty pleased about that. The 200, after running the 400, believe me, I was really tired and I couldn't give more. But I still ran good, 21.1 indoors."
Arkansas' Bucknam credited his assistant coaches and the Razorback seniors who made it all possible.
"They came with a first-year coach with just a short period of time left," Bucknam said. "I asked them to lead the program and to help us get through this this year. And, of course, they did. With flying colors.
"So my hat's off to the seniors that stepped it up another level. When there was adversity, when there was a coaching change, they continued to train hard. And this is the end result."
Dorian Ulrey, who came with Bucknam from Northern Iowa, led a 1-2-4-8 Arkansas finish in the mile. Bucknam finished in 3:59.77. Duncan Phillips came in second (4:01.30), Michael Chinchar took fourth (4:03.52), with Rick Elliott eighth (4:08.33).
"We train all year round for this meet and one other particular indoor meet," Ulrey said, nodding to the NCAA Championships. "We just ran smooth. We ran relaxed. Our whole plan was to just blanket the finish with Razorbacks, and that's exactly what we did."
Arkansas' other wins Sunday came from Alex McClary in the 800 and in the distance medley relay (Chinchar, Jake Stephens, McClary and Phillips). With the team title in hand, Ulrey opted out of the relay in order to spread the event titles around.
Ulrey tipped his hat to McDonnell, saying he was pleased "to be able to continue that excellent tradition with the new coach and the new athletes, and kind of usher in a new era for Arkansas. And we've done a pretty good job this weekend."
The Razorbacks got a 2-3 finish in the triple jump from Nkosinza Balumbu and Tarek Batchelor. as well as second-place finishes by J-Mee Samuels in the 60, Niit Marek in the 200 and Shawn Forrest in the 5,000. Samuels, who also took fifth in the 200, got things rolling.
"It energized our team when J-Mee busted out that great 60," Bucknam said. "He'd been struggling all year. To see him come through like he did and hit an auto-qualifier (6.63) against (LSU's) Trindon Holliday, a world-class sprinter in his own right, that was a big start for us. Then it just built from that point on."
Florida freshman Christian Taylor, who won the long jump Saturday, added the triple jump Sunday, knocking off defending champion Balumba with a fifth-round distance of 52-10 1/4. Taylor scored 22 1/2 points to win the Commissioner's Trophy.
Tennessee's women blanketed the results sheet, scoring in 14 of 17 events.
Sarah Bowman led the Vols completing a third consecutive trifecta with wins in the mile, 3,000 meters and as anchor of the distance medley relay. That added up to 22 1/2 points and the Commissioner's Trophy as the high scorer of the meet.
Tennessee also got wins from a pair of former walk-ons: Celriece Law in the 60-meter hurdles and Phoebe Wright in the 800. Law also placed third in the triple jump. Lynne Layne placed second in the 60 and 200, adding an eighth-place finish in the long jump.
Christian Taylor, Fla., triple jump winner – "I was happy I came through, … happy to get out on the fifth jump and then just watch. … That (5) is my new number. I'll take it. I'm blessed with good health and strong training. I'll carry this to nationals."
Jason Richardson, S.C., hurdles winner – "It went OK. … I'm blessed that I came out as champion. That's all I can ask."
Richardson, on trailing Kentucky's Thomas out of the blocks – "I usually come on at the end, so I didn't panic and I didn't fret. I just stayed confident in my training and I was able to come out on top at the end."
Trindon Holliday, LSU, 60-meter dash winner – "I didn't have the start that I wanted to have. I kind of stumbled a little bit, but I was able to maintain what I was doing and finish the race."
Holliday on having the second-best qualifying time, behind Kentucky's Rondel Sorrillo, Sunday's fourth-place finisher – "It wasn't any cause for concern. It was more motivation than anything. So I just told myself to come out and 'I'm gonna be ready to go when the gun's shot.'"
Tennessee Lady Vols Coach J.J. Clark – "We had a couple things go our way and had some youngsters come through. We had some SEC champions come through with big points for us, and that's what really helped to pull us through. It was a great meet for our Lady Vols, really something to remember."
Catherine Kalmer, on leading Arkansas' 1-2-3 finish in the women's 5,000 – "We're very excited. We just decided to come out here today and try to get a national (qualifying) mark. Unfortunately we didn't run as fast as we'd hoped for, but I still think we made a point that Arkansas distance running is something to be reckoned with."

This shoe, ( as much as the docksider and deck shoes for which seabago are most notorious, )is a perfect version of its genre: i.e., a classic. The original versions of the design - the most refined, minimal, un-adorned, purest, mocassin - from Italy of the fifties - most known perhaps being those by carshoe - is not so fine in terms of its leather and its stitching or, in particular, its last. (The carshoe copies - todds - are also inferior in the three aspects). The leather tanning, and dye, its supple condition is of a superior standard. The stitching, its consistency, accuracy, and the colur and quality of the twine is a similar mark of standard. Finally the last, the proportion and shape of the form of the show is excellent. The dimensions from toe to instep, rise of the sides of the shoe to the instep, heel height, toe width and shape -not round, not square - which all the others mentioned infrequently are - is a mark of fine taste. It has a firmness, a fit and a sort of glove-like sensation when worn which is second to none, and would be the delight of the american indian progenitor of the classic concept of this mocassin who presumably wanted the nearest sensitivity to that of the unclad, naked foot.. I'd like to hear of any (extant) better?! Don't think so.....

Life In Technicolor 1Short StoryBrendon sat in the studio, strumming his beautiful pine acoustic guitar lightly. "I can't think of anything, Spence." He said, head buried in his hands, dark chunks of his hair falling over his hands. They had just lost half the members of their band, Panic! At The Disco, and had trouble writing songs. "Maybe we need some more people, Brendon. We can't make an album with just the two of us." Spencer replied. He flipped his drumsticks around in his fingers, placed them back on the drums, and walked over to Brendon. "I can play guitar, and sing, and you can play drums and sing a little. That's all we need, right?" Brendon said, looking up. "Well, I guess so, but we kind of need a bass player. It won't be the same without Jon, I know, but we still need one. Plus it's almost impossible to sing while playing the drums." Spencer suggested. "You're right. There is no way that Jon and Ryan will re-join. But we still need someone. I'll try to find a way to get one. "Brendon said, ro

five.Five is the number of times you worry he's stopped breathing, as the surgeons carve around his heart, twisting away the plaque ridden arteries, and pulling a vein out of his leg. Five is the number of heart wrenching hours you and your family were waiting in the hospital room, worried that your lives would crumble, that there would be five members of the family instead of six, that five days out of the week he would not come home for dinner, that five kisses from him would no longer be given to his wife and four children. Five was the amount of fingernails you bit off while watching people enter and exit the waiting room, and the amount of minutes your mother spent on the phone, explaining that something was wrong. Five is the critical difference between holding a father's hand as your mother cries into his heart shaped pillow. The difference between rejoicing and smiling weakly because he's okay or carrying your father's American-flag-covered-casket and watchin
A Guide to Writing DialogueWhat is dialogue, exactly? The definition from Merriam-Webster's dictionary was several lines long, so I shall summarize it in a short sentence for the sake of the readers; it's the writing that illustrates conversations between two or more characters in a story. We read and hear it all around us, but creating it in your own work can be a challenge. However, if you find dialogue an obstacle in your writing, then don't push the panic button. In this tutorial, you'll find by analyzing what dialogue can do and how to use it, you can turn your greatest fear into your greatest ally in your story.What dialogue isLike I've asserted before, dialogue is basically what the characters are saying to each other. It can be found in multiple mediums such as books, movies, comics, video games, etc. We even engage in dialogue daily without even thinking. When you talk to your best friend, a co-worker, or even your dog, you create dialogue. It's exchang

CNHI News Service
— What are liberals afraid of?
At the Missouri State Fair in August, a rodeo clown, a white man named Tuffy Gessling, walked around in an Obama mask. An announcer told the clown to stay put. Don't you want to see Obama gored by the bull? he asked. Cheers went up from some of the crowd. A Daily Mail report later noted that rural Missourians don't take to President Barack Obama's policies.
The skit was done in jest and was taken to task by Missouri officials. (Tuffy was banned from the fair forever.) Regardless of the skit, what should be shocking is that rural Missouri voters don't vote for Democratic policies - though they should. That ought to perk up the ears of Democrats everywhere.
We've heard all the reasons for this phenomenon. Journalist Thomas Frank summed it up well in his 2004 book, "What's the Matter with Kansas," just before George W. Bush was re-elected. Frank wanted to know why people vote against their economic self-interests by casting their ballots with Republicans. He did a fine job answering the question.
Evangelicals vote against abortion, school prayer bans and anything that hints at sexuality, and they associate those issues with Democrats. Less-educated voters see minorities and immigrants as threats to their livelihoods and associate the empowerment of those two groups with Democrats. Never mind that their livelihoods often are impacted by the type of cutthroat capitalism that Republicans cheer.
In the 30 years since Reagan, Democrats have always played bridesmaids to the GOP's bride when it comes to policy. Even when the Dems held a majority in Congress, they were conciliatory to the opposition.
They followed Reagan down the yellow brick, supply-side road. They waved flags as both Bushes went into Iraq. They shuddered when Newt Gingrich unveiled his Contract for (should have been "on") America. They taped their mouths shut and sat on their hands when Clinton vowed to end big government as we know it.
Impeaching Bush junior after lying to go to war and sanctioning torture was "off the table," according to Nancy Pelosi, then the House speaker.
Compare that to today when Michigan Rep. Kerry Bentilovio, a tea-party Republican, said it would be a dream come true to impeach Obama.
"I stood 12 feet away from the guy and listened to him, and I couldn't stand being there," Bentilovio said in a quote picked up by Maureen Dowd in the New York Times.
As Dowd summed it up, "For some of the rodeo clowns clamoring for impeachment around the country, Barack Obama's real crime is presiding while black."
After two centrist Democrats - Clinton and Obama - party members seem appeased just to have their logo on Pennsylvania Avenue. Those presidents and members of Congress have done very little to promote Democratic policies.
As a result, Republicans have moved steadily to the right, and ideas that were once howlers when Barry Goldwater espoused them are now the norm. We get bank deregulation, war without end, war on women and minorities, and an economic system that rewards the rich for being rich.
It's not only Democratic cowardice to stand up to the right-wing surge. The right has a highly organized network of think tanks and deep pockets (think Koch brothers) to feed free-market, undemocratic ideas to Republicans who take them all the way to the goal line, especially in some states where they command huge majorities.
Liberals have nothing like this. They sit back and think that the common sense of Americans will eventually triumph.
I confess I don't know what liberals are afraid of. But the 2014 midterm election is just around the corner, and Republicans are already demonizing Hillary Clinton well ahead of 2016.
What are liberals doing? I don't know, but I know what they should be doing.

The following explains the infraction system. It's a good way for you to track how many infractions/warnings you've received and for the Administrators to track how many infractions/warnings have been issued. Warnings are worth 0 points and do not count toward your infraction total.
Each infraction will generate a point. If someone accumulates 3 unexpired infraction points they will be banned for one week. If the returning member continues to accumulate additional infraction points after their ban they could be banned permanently. If anyone tries to circumvent a temporary ban by posting under another user name, they could be banned permanently.
We also reserve the right to ban people immediately as we deem appropriate. Please be aware that posters who deliberately and viciously break the rules may be permanently banned with no warning. Ruling on whether a permanent ban is necessary is ultimately left up to the discretion of the board moderators and administrators.
You may view your infraction points on your profile page. No one else is able to see how many infractions you have. If you do not see any infractions listed that means you have not received one. When you do get an infraction, a private message is sent to you. Infraction points expire after a certain number of days, so your active point total may decrease with time. Members will get infraction points for the following reasons:
• Not Posting a Spoiler Warning - 1 Point (expires in 10 days)
This will become especially important as the movie draws closer, and once it opens. People need to post a spoiler warning before they post anything that might give part of the movie away. Please read how to use the spoiler tag in the post below.• Inappropriate Signature or Avatar- 1 Point (expires in 10 days)
This includes any inappropriate pictures or text. Swearing, harassing or belittling others in your signature is also not allowed.• Inappropriate Language - 1 Point (expires in 10 days)
This includes sexually explicit language, links to sexually explicit or inappropriate sites, vulgarities and swearing. The forum allows ages 13 and up and needs to have content appropriate for all ages.• Actor/Director/Writer Bashing - 1 Point (expires in 10 days)
People are free to express their thoughts but name-calling, personal attacks, and general hate language will not be tolerated. Comment on the work, not the person.• General Disruptiveness - spamming, trolling, derailing threads, etc - 1 Point (expires in 10 days)
Trolls and spammers are banned immediately but sometimes a regular member is inadvertently disruptive and needs to be reminded about proper board etiquette.• Attacking or Harassing Other Members - 2 Points (expires in 30 days)
Belittling or attacking others for how they think or feel, name calling or debasement of any kind is not allowed. People are free to have their say within reason. If you think someone's post is unreasonable, please report them or place them on ignore.• Attacking Moderators or Administrators - 2 Points (expires in 30 days)
Self explanatory. People don't need to like what we say, but we ask them to respect the rules. We will listen to thoughts and concerns, but draw the line at personal attacks.• Posting or Linking to Unauthorized Photos or Materials - 2 points (expires in 30 days)
Threads or posts about unauthorized photos whether requesting them, posting links to them or engaging in discussions on how to get such material, are prohibited. Unauthorized downloads and merchandise constitute unauthorized material or piracy, and links to them will be removed.Controversial Topics
Threads with controversial topics such as abortion, religion, or politics are not to be posted in Off Topic and will be removed. The same rules applies in the other forums. We also ask people not to use controversial or political topics in their avatars or signatures. It's important people consider the official movie forums a welcoming site to be on, not a place where people feel a need to defend themselves for who they are or what they believe.
Reporting Posts & the Ignore Feature
If you see a post that is a breaking the rules, please do not quote it or respond to it. Use the report post button found in the upper right hand corner of the post. If there is a certain member you're unable to get along with, use the ignore feature found under the Miscellaneous section of your control panel. If someone is deliberately being disruptive report them but if it's just a personality issue than it's your responsibility not to react to them. Use the tools we provide.
If you have any questions regarding the posting guidelines, please visit the Comments & Suggestions forum located here
Duplicate threads
Please read the first few pages to see if what you want to talk about is already being discussed. Duplicate threads will be deleted or merged with others. Feel free to report duplicate threads using the report post button. Including links to both threads is appreciated.
Thank you, have fun posting and welcome to this community!

We have a spoiler tag!
Read me :)
We have a spoiler tag. Please be sure to use it when you have a spoiler to share.
To use the spoiler tag, type your spoiler and then highlight it by running your mouse cursor over it.
Once all of your spoiler text is highlighted, click the black box in the upper right hand corner of your post. In the window that pops up, type "Spoiler here" or something along those lines to indicate a spoiler. Click "OK" and the click "submit reply" for your post.
Your spoiler should now only show when someone clicks on your spoiler tag in your post.

CNHI News Service
— Another pointless fiscal battle is taking shape in Washington
(New Castle News / New Castle, Pa.)
The chest thumping continues in Washington. And the problem-solving is nowhere to be seen.
Once again, House Republicans have their sights set on pulling the plug on the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. As in the past, the effort will come to naught.
President Obama has vowed to veto the latest House measure should it reach his desk, but it won't. Senate Democrats will never advance it.
That's the way it's been with a series of House votes intended to target Obamacare. They accomplish nothing, other than appeal to a political base that celebrates confrontation and despises communication and compromise.
This time around, however, the vote may be more than symbolic nonsense. The move is tied to a larger effort to temporarily extend funding for the federal government. Unless Democrats support the Republican effort to end fiscal support for Obamacare, there won't be enough money to fully fund federal operations.
Plus, in the near future, Washington would run out of authority to borrow more money and risk defaulting on debt.
The consequences of that would be catastrophic for the economies of the nation and the world. So common sense says the politicians in Washington may threaten such a move, but they won't allow it to happen. Republicans insist shutting down the government is not their goal.
But these days, common sense and Congress have little to do with each other.
For the first time this week, some House Republicans advanced an alternative to Obamacare. That's a step forward, because so far, the party hasn't offered anything of consequence to replace the Democratic health plan.
Yet rather than use their proposal as a platform for generating support for a different health care system, Republicans continue to play the same game: Get rid of Obamacare and then come up with something else. Sometime. Some day. Maybe.
It's no secret that the recovery in the American economy has been sluggish. There are many reasons for that, including economic weakness overseas.
But the silliness in Washington, which has the government lurching from crisis to crisis and fueling a sense of continued uncertainty, is simply bad for business. When companies aren't sure what tax policies, health care rules and other government regulations they will encounter down the road, they are less likely to invest and pursue growth.
The two parties need to challenge each other; that's a crucial part of the democratic process. And they need to debate issues and raise public awareness.
But the key to all of this is engagement. Rather than hammering out differences, the two parties continue to act as ships pointlessly passing in the night, and never reaching the shore.
Mental health not sole answer on mass shootings
(The Mankato Free Press / Mankato, Minn.)
Another mass shooting — this time at the Navy shipyard in Washington — has reignited a discussion about greater gun control. Yet again, a similar factor in this shooting — mental illness — is not getting the attention necessary to find solutions, partly because those solutions are not as clear.
The shooter — 34-year-old former Navy reservist — reportedly had some mental health issues that in hindsight could have been and should have been addressed earlier.
There were plenty of warning signs, many of them pleas from the shooter himself. Aaron Alexis told Newport, R.I., police about a month ago he was being followed by people using "some sort of microwave machine" on him and preventing him from sleeping. He reportedly stayed in various hotels to escape the voices coming through the walls.
He also sought treatment from the Department of Veteran Affairs for paranoia. He knew something was wrong, but it wasn't helping.
To what degree mental health played into this incident will be difficult to quantify for a variety of reasons. First, there are privacy concerns, and families have complained they are blocked from getting even basic information necessary for them to help. The law requires permission from the patient before revealing such information, and many times they are the ones who do not recognize or admit to the problem.
Then there are mental health advocates who rightfully insist that being mentally ill doesn't mean you are prone to violence. True enough, but let's look at the numbers. A 2012 report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 10.4 million people experienced serious mental illness in the previous year. Nearly half of them did not receive treatment and many of them were homeless, crime victims, suicides or imprisoned.
Gun control advocates now are pointing to the ease with which Alexis was able to buy a shotgun even with his mental health record. Even though Alexis was seeking treatment and possibly diagnosed with mental illness, this does not disqualify someone from purchasing a gun.
While it's true federal law prohibits the sale of guns to people who have been declared mentally unfit, it is a legal standard only a court can decide. Under the law, a diagnosis of mental illness — even voluntary commitment — does not prevent the purchase of a gun.
So while some gun rights activists would like to divert discussion away from gun control to mental health treatment or restrictions as the cure-all for gun violence, we need a robust discussion on parallel paths that do not exclude one from the other.
And part of that discussion may mean spending more on mental health treatment and changing the laws addressing such hot button topics like involuntary commitments and sharing of mental health data with law enforcement in a timely manner.
Just as reasonable gun control efforts can require background checks, so must the mental health field relent on issues of treatment and privacy.

text: "AN ECONOMIC POLICY FOR THE SOUTH" By Brooks Hays. Delivered at Anniston, Alabama, September 6, 1935 I am glad to have this opportunity to talk to an Alabama audience about the problems of the South. I come from a state that upholds the same traditions and has very much the same culture and political philosophy. Some of these traditions we are ready to discard. Some we feel should be retained, not because they are traditions, but because they have social value. While I hold a position under the present Administration, and believe that the program in general is good and will be approved by the nation, I am conscious of the fact that labels are often misleading, and I am restrained by the knowledge that there are many who call themselves New Dealers who do not understand the essential spirit which produced the New Deal, or, understanding it, give it only lip service and are prepared to undermine it. Moreover, the New Deal embraces so much about which fixed judgments cannot yet be reached that to undertake a discussion of its objectives would be very foolish. I hope to inject into the talk as little partisanship as possible. The South has a great stake in the present agricultural policy, and I believe it will be possible to preserve its benefits under succeeding Administrations, regardless of party domination. And while I am on the subject of parties, let me say that I am not one of those who believe that the Democratic Party can do no wrong. It will be a great day for the South when we discard that fallacious idea. Personally, I am sick and tired of some party leaders threatening everybody with disfranchisement for failure to vote for every nominee just because he is the nominee. If we don't stop it, the party will someday get the spanking it deserves for trying to thrive on intimidation instead of service. Not many weeks ago I sat with a few friends of the South in a quiet room in the city of Atlanta, and participated in the organization of a movement known as the Southern Policy Committee. Some of us have great hopes for that rather modest group because it will work

Adam Doost has worked in Afghanistan's marble sector since 2006. He says in six years 32 factories have been opened in Herat province, creating almost 4000 jobs.
Most of the marble produced in Herat goes to the domestic market or to Pakistan, but samples shipped abroad are making their mark.
"Our customers are in Italy, India, China, Turkmenistan and Turkey," says Doost.
Afghan marble has often been compared to the first class Italian white marble of Carrara and that has attracted a lot of interest from Italian buyers in the past year.
As with much industry in Afghanistan, lack of security and poor transport infrastructure prevent Afghan companies from being competitive. So Afghans prefer to buy Iranian or Pakistani marble, which is much cheaper on the market.
Marble dealers say the Afghan government should support domestic products by providing facilities required by Afghan traders and also by reducing the royalty payments that marble quarries are forced to pay.
"In Afghanistan everything is more expensive: electricity; labour. Production is low and that's why the price of Afghan marble is more expensive compared to Pakistani marble," says Shafiq Ahmad, who owns a marble shop in Kabul's bazaar.
Afghan marble entrepreneurs remain confident foreign investment will soon transform marble production into one of the most lucrative industries in Afghanistan.
"Marble has a global market," says Ahmad. He adds, "We use only Afghan marble and its quality is the best in the world."

Poured into a nonic a clear medium golden with a large fluffy white crown that settled very slowly into a frothy mass.A big shot of grapefruit hops hits ya in the nose along with some overripe tangerine,a sweetish biscuit malt is noticable as well.A healthy dose of citric hops over top of sweet biscuit on the palate,more fruity hops than bitter.A great pale ale,it has a huge dose of hops but it's actually a pretty rounded palate.

Hook up from Sir_Win in Indiana - thanks, man! Pours a hazy, copper, deep-amber color. Humongous off-white head starts boiling immediately, even with a delicate pour; lots of staying power and a ton of nice lacing.
The aroma of this beer, for lack of a better term, is fucking amazing. As soon as you open the bottle, a surge of fruit and hops jumps out at you. You dip your nose to the glass and it bum-rushes your nostrils like no other. JAM PACKED with all kinds of fruits; tangerines, oranges, grapefruits, papaya, pineapple. The description of the beer on the bottle is very accurate - this beer's aroma is GUSHING with citrus. It's incredible. The citrus is outlined with an incredible hop portrait; resinous, piney, oily, slightly floral and dank. Perfect aroma for a pale ale.
At this point, I'm just hoping that the smell doesn't get my hopes up so high only to be let down by the taste. It doesn't - this beer delivers, HARD. The hops are more up front in the taste than they were in the aroma, and it works perfectly. You're still getting the incredible citrus on the nose and the extra hops on the tongue - perfect harmony and synthesis of the senses. Bitter spikes and oily and resinous hops take over for a bit, mellowed out by the grapefruits, tangerines, pineapples, and mangoes in the background.
The hops round out a bit as the beer warms up, and the citrus flavors evolve even more. This beer is seriously insane, one of the best things I've ever tasted. Little malt and yeast on the very tail end. Not much, but really, when your hop profile is this amazing, it doesn't leave much of one to be desired. Just a phenomenal flavor and aroma profile that synthesize extraordinarily well. Medium body, medium-high carbonation, ever so slightly sticky.
Good lord. After I had a Pliny the Elder, I thought I'd never have another hop-forward beer better than it. I take that back. Pliny is damn good, but Zombie Dust is goddamn incredible. Literally, a PERFECT combo of bitter and sweet, hops and citrus, every sip blows my mind all over again. And that nose... my GOD that nose. Unbelievable. Whether you consider this a PA or an IPA doesn't matter - just know that it's an amazing beer. If I could get my hands on this easily, I would drink it all day, until the day I died. All hail the Citra hop, all hail motherfuckin' Zombie Dust.
Finally received some more of this after putting it off for so long (thanks MCain04). I was afraid this time around that it wouldn't be as good. I was worried that maybe I had hyped it up to myself before and that I was overrating it big-time. I was scared that my palate had changed and Zombie Dust would no longer be the same sweet nectar I fell in love with the first time around. Luckily all of my worries were wiped away the second I cracked open the bottle, took a nice whiff and had another sip. This stuff is simply amazing. So perfectly balanced and so insanely drinkable. All things considered, this is still one of THE best beers out there, in my opinion.

Growler shared by Dan with friends, poured into a Cigar City snifter
It pours a a pretty standard APA looking light orange, slightly hazy and a medium bone colored head. Minimal lace coats the side of the glass.
The hop presence is big and beautiful. Huge orange, grapefruit and pineapple fill my nose. It's just a tropical party of hop aromas, geared exactly to my preference. I am absolutely in love Citra hops and don't mind at all the surging popularity of them.
The flavor keeps almost the same hop intensity and adds just a touch of a malt sweetness at the end to counteract the hop bitterness.
The mouthfeel is pretty light making this APA very approachable and drinkable.

Re: Avoiding Certain Drivers
I had just come safely to a dead stop in traffic due to solid ice on the Tri-State in Chicago.
I notice in my mirror a guy coming up fast in the center and left lanes trying to stop. First he was sideways, then backwards, sideways again, then completing the 360 degree spin, stopping next to me in the center lane like nothing ever happened.
I looked down and the guy was still holding his ceramic coffee cup in his right hand, almost full, probably didn't spill a drop. A true professional.
Another time I was stopped in a jam in Cleveland when a woman bumped the car in front of her while putting on her panty hose.
When it comes to bad drivers, don't let anything surprise you.
I hope the above picture was an abandoned vehicle although I have seen many people looking through peep holes of their vehicle's frost and snow covered windshields.
Re: Avoiding Certain Drivers
Did your observation, the view, surprise you?
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Avoiding Certain Drivers
Hard to tell, but i believe there is a tow bar hooked to the front of that truck.

Re: Avoiding Certain Drivers
We have not had any snow yet.
I wonder where the pic was taken and if the original picture showed a tow vehicle? There is so much snow on that trucks windshield, I don't see any way there could be a driver in it.
Like Lazyuniondriver, after a career on the road, I have seen my share of unbelievable sights and feats of stupidity.
Re: Avoiding Certain Drivers
About 25 years ago I saw a guy with a bracket on his steering wheel that held a hardcover book. Phones are still the worst. Auto fatalities are down per mile but pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities are up. My neighbors and I lost 3 mailboxes to texting. I think that is a factor behind pedestrian and bicyclist stats.

Re: Avoiding Certain Drivers
Thinking back 50 years ago, I was living in a small rented house with no garage. Was in the volunteer fire department. Fire call with my 1955 Dodge truck covered in snow. No good choices available. So I did drive to the fire scene with head out the window. Not suggesting that anyone do so.
Luck favors those who are prepared
Re: Avoiding Certain Drivers
I can remember driving with my head out the window on several occasions when I owned a 66 Beetle. The defrosters hardly could ever keep up. (even with the boxes and tubes in good cond) Luckily I never had far to travel, and could get her inside to thaw out when really bad out. If It started out warm, then It would last alot longer. (heck of a good snow machine, though)
Re: Avoiding Certain Drivers
I've noticed most people can eat fast food relatively easily with one hand and women can apply make up and brush their hair one handed, but to eat a bowl of cereal with a spoon requires both hands and a knee on the wheel, and always in morning traffic.
Re: Avoiding Certain Drivers
You brought back a lost memory. When I lived in Pottersville, near West Plains, I had 2 separate routes I could take to work. The slightly longer one had better roads, and the advantage of a stoplight to make the left turn onto the buys West Plains bypass, and I preferred to go that way of a morning. the disadvantage to it was that at least once a week a woman in a white car would catch up with me and drive right on my bumper while taking out curlers, brushing hair, and putting on makeup. made me nervous enough that I started coming in about 10 minutes earlier to avoid her.

Tejada, other O's need All-Star help
Fans can cast their ballots online up to 25 times until June 28
BALTIMORE -- The Orioles' Miguel Tejada slipped a spot in the rankings since the last All-Star ballot update, dropping from second place to third in online voting for the American League's shortstop slot. New York's Derek Jeter and Detroit's Carlos Guillen are outpolling Tejada, who has played in three straight All-Star Games and four overall.
Tejada is the only Orioles player among the top five in balloting at his position, but he isn't the only credible Baltimore candidate. Leadoff hitter and second baseman Brian Roberts leads his team and all of his positional peers with a .412 on-base percentage, but backstop Ramon Hernandez is injured and hasn't been much of a factor.
Starting pitchers Erik Bedard and Jeremy Guthrie may also have a case for the All-Star Game, but pitchers are exempt from balloting and will be added later in the process. Fans will get to choose the starting lineups for the Midsummer Classic, and the winner of the All-Star Game will lock up homefield advantage for the World Series.
Fans can cast their votes for starters up to 25 times with the Monster 2007 All-Star Online Ballot at MLB.com and all 30 club sites until June 28 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Fans will again be given the opportunity to cast an All-Star vote immediately following the 2007 MLB All-Star Game Selection Show Presented by Chevrolet, which will be televised by Turner Sports on Sunday, July 1. Baseball fans around the world will be able select the final player on each All-Star team via the Monster.com 2007 All-Star Final Vote.
Selecting the rosters isn't the end of the fun in 2007, either. Concluding the All-Star balloting process, fans will have the opportunity to participate in the official voting for the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player presented by Chevrolet at the All-Star Game via the Monster.com 2007 All-Star Game MVP Vote at MLB.com.
The All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports and televised around the world by Major League Baseball International. ESPN Radio will provide exclusive national radio coverage, while MLB.com will offer extensive online coverage and MLB Radio will have exclusive play-by-play coverage of the game on the Internet.
Tejada was Baltimore's lone All-Star last season, but Hernandez was a candidate in the Final Vote. The Orioles had four All-Stars in 2005, but they've only had one representative in five of the last six years. Tejada, Roberts, Hernandez and third baseman Melvin Mora are the only position players on the active roster who have been All-Stars.

Whilst being available in many modern colour ways, the Nike Blazer is now a UK high street favourite, a far cry from the US basketball roots of old. Nike Blazer trainers were first donned by George "The Ice Man" Gervin but have evolved from their basketball court roots into a sneaker that can be worn whenever and wherever.

Preen Weed Preventer

Moderator: Team Cub
Preen Weed Preventer
I see a lot of ads for the Preen Weed Preventer, which is supposed to stops weed seeds from germinating, so I thought I would try it to keep the weeds down in my tomatoes since they are a little hard to hoe once I put cages around the plants. According to the label it is supposed to stop seeds from germinating for 60 days. It did work as advertised, but the next year I planted green beans in the same area, and where I had used the Preen they did not come up. Where the row went beyond the former tomato area all was normal, but in the area where the tomatoes with the Preen had been I got less than a 10% germination rate. Last summer i finally had good germination results in that area, so if you are thinking about using it, I suggest considering what will be there next year as well.

Re: Preen Weed Preventer
What you are describing is consistent with over-application of the product. Applying herbicides is not a case of -- if a little bit is good, a lot is better. That is why knowing the actual square feet in the area to be treated and then measuring out the correct amount of product to apply to the area.
In my experience as County Extension Agent I've had to deal with lots of people that didn't read/ignored the product label and got into trouble. Read the label before applying the product not after.
Hope this helps.

Re: Preen Weed Preventer
My dad used to literally dump the preen on atleast once a month in his garden. He used it on the corn once it sprouted and around the taomatoes severly. I got on him really hard one day when he came home with 6 buckets of preen for the garden. I told him him those instances would happen and he would not listen to me at all till one day I showed him an article in my Landscaper's Journel Magazine about the over use of chemicals. Dad was getting so bad with it that I thought I could tell the effects of it in how the vegtables tasted. I brought him a Tomato out of a different garden and compared them and I could tell a difference. His was a little more Tart. If that is why I do not know, I am no way an expert gardener but I quickly saw something was going the wrong way.
I know some farmers are having problems with seed germination too because of the over use of weed chemicals. It will be a problem one day I believe?
My .02 worth, I can't wait for spring cause I sure do miss those Fresh Home Grown Vegtables.
Take care and enjoy.
Re: Preen Weed Preventer
It's the middle of January, 3 degrees here in Michigan and you're talking about gardening and tomatoes? I just got in from plowing snow. At least you're thinking about spring!!

Re: Preen Weed Preventer
If you have any pine trees in your area, the straw works great keeping the grass and weeds down after you have the basket(cage)around them.
Re: Preen Weed Preventer
Used it once in early summer, and a very light application. Don't think it was over application, but whether it was are not, I will not use it again. I use shredded paper from the city, and my own shredder for mulch now.

Re: Preen Weed Preventer
John, I agree with you on the paper mulch. When I set out my tomatoes I take a sheet of newspaper and tear a hole in the middle. I slip this down over my young plant. Then jam my basket down thru the paper to help hold it in place. A little dirt on the outside edges also helps keep it in place. Not the pretties way to mulch but it sure helps keep the weeds from growing around your tomatoes. One added benefit is by season end the newspaper has mostly gone so there isn't any clean up for the next season.
Re: Preen Weed Preventer
We use several sheets of newspaper, then old straw as mulch. Does a great job.

Re: Preen Weed Preventer
There are many different formulations under the Preen label. It's one of those over the counter herbicides that easily confuse the customer. Unless you do your homework it would be easy to buy a product that does not do what you think it should. One size does not fit all.

Re: Preen Weed Preventer
I have used Preen ever since it became avail. and also use other pre-emerge sprays in the middles of the rows!---I use the SAME hi-power stuff the commercial so called ORGANIC guys! (dont like it BUT cant grow stuff without it!)
Mulch here only invites bugs snails /voles/mice into the garden!---also makes a big slimey mess under the stuff, hard/cold/wet enviroment and the plants just die---Thats why I had to go the chem. routes here!---gotta use what works for you! I know what amount it takes too! (wont post that part)----these are all ORGANIC ingredients in these chems!---READ THE SHEETS!!!!! thanks; sonny
Re: Preen Weed Preventer
I use Preen at prescribed rates on asparagus and still get weeds. On the garden I use a mulch with soaker hoses under it and it works ok. I have used newspaper and a thin layer of mulkch, grass clippings, I think paper w/o the clippings is a little ugly.. I have three acres out back so I can cut about all I want. Has anyone ever heard if soil type has any effect on Preen? I have a sandy loam and it doesn't work very well but my in-laws used it once on their garden and had carry-over? They have a clay soil.

Re: Preen Weed Preventer
I use a 144 cultivator for weed control.....
What is the active ingredient in Preen? I am thinking that soil type would definately affect how well it works. The label should give some directions related to that. If so, heavier, more organic soils would need a higher rate than sandy, mineral soils.
First law of pesticide use is know the pest. Second law is read and follow the label.

Re: Preen Weed Preventer
I think we are talking herbicides here. Google Preen and read all the labels and MSDS's That should answer most of the questions.
