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) – Last week wasn't as thrilling as the games seem to suggest.
Important games in the SEC East are winding down, but the important games in the West are just starting.
Below is a look at three games from Week 8 and what they mean going forward followed by a look at three big games from next week and the impact they will have.
In what was Texas A&M's first foray into the teeth of the SEC West, the Aggies and their high-powered offense ground to a screeching halt. It was the first game of the season that Johnny Manziel did not account for a touchdown. Even with the poor outing, the Aggies (5-2, 2-2) still lead the SEC in scoring offense, total offense and rushing offense.
LSU (7-1, 3-1) needed a win because taking a second conference loss would have been a huge blow to its chances of making the SEC championship game. The Tigers have a bye week before playing Alabama at home.
LSU couldn't ask for a better scenario. Offensively, the Tigers have been struggling to get their passing attack moving, which is 12th in the SEC and will undoubtedly be needed against the Tide's defense, which is first in the nation against the run and second nationally against the pass.
With extra time to prepare, a few changes can be made to the game plan without tipping Alabama off. LSU also had several players suffer injuries against the Aggies, and additional time heal will only help the Tigers.
South Carolina had to deal with running back Marcus Lattimore being injured and only gave him the ball three times. Without his running ability, the Gamecocks (6-2, 4-2) weren't able to get anything going.
South Carolina has suffered a fall from grace in the last two weeks. After beating Georgia 35-7 and earning a top five ranking, the Gamecocks have lost two straight games and seen their passing offense fall from the most efficient in the SEC to fourth in the conference.
Florida, meanwhile, continues to cruise. The Gators (7-0, 6-0) have just two SEC games remaining – Georgia and Missouri – and winning either one clinches them a trip to the SEC championship game.
Tennessee was hanging around at halftime, but the Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0) turned up the heat with an aerial assault and intercepted Tyler Bray twice to put the game well out of reach and win going away.
Alabama is first in the nation in first downs allowed, passing efficiency, opponent's passing efficiency, red zone offense, rushing defense, scoring defense, total defense, and is one of only two teams (Louisiana Tech is the other) yet to throw an interception this season.
The Tide is also second in opponent's third down conversion and passing defense, and third in turnover margin.
Tennessee (3-4, 0-4) has played three of its toughest games in a row, and has lost all three with another one against South Carolina slated for Saturday. With the Vols' remaining schedule, they are still in contention for a bowl game and could have as many as three SEC wins, but a loss to South Carolina would mean Tennessee failed against all ranked teams on its slate.
What is on the line here is simple: If Florida wins, the Gators are in the SEC championship game, and a win by Georgia puts the Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1) in control of their own destiny with Ole Miss and Auburn the only teams standing in their way.
Georgia also will be trying to win consecutive games over the Gators for the first time since 1989. The Bulldogs lead the all-time series 48-40-2, but that record is disputed because Georgia includes a 52-0 win from 1904 on the record, while Florida does not because it came before the modern-day University of Florida was formed by the state Legislature a year later. What isn't disputed is that Florida is 18-4 in the "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" since 1990.
The matchup is a good one. In the areas where Georgia's offense is highly-rated, Florida's defense is equally highly-rated. Where Florida's offense has struggled, The Bulldogs' defense has also struggled.
The major difference in the teams is the Gators' dominant rushing game. Florida has the SEC's No. 3 rushing offense (25th nationally). Georgia's rushing defense is 10th in the conference and 72nd in the country.
On paper, Tennessee at South Carolina looks like a better matchup, but there isn't much at stake in that game.
Texas A&M wants to keep its fading chances at the SEC West crown alive and Auburn (1-6, 0-5) wants to get an SEC win and avoid being the first team since Georgia Tech in 1992 to have a losing season two years removed from a national championship.
With Georgia and Alabama left on the Tigers' schedule, the losing season is all but guaranteed, and the Aggies represent the easiest opportunity for a conference win. Texas A&M has the best rushing offense in the SEC and Auburn has the worst rushing defense in the SEC.
It will take the Tigers' best defensive performance to date to contain Johnny Manziel. A win by A&M means it will go into games against Mississippi State and Alabama in contention for the SEC West, but unable to afford a loss to either.
Mississippi State could be accurately described as "Alabama light." Both teams tout efficient passing games, athletic defenses, consistent running games and neither is prone to turnovers or penalties.
It's a clash of the same style of football and provides a rare apples-to-apples comparison.
Alabama isn't the only team to lead the nation in something. Mississippi State (7-0, 3-0) is first in turnover margin, and jumped Alabama last week to get there. The Crimson Tide had led that category entering last week's games, but a late fumble by the Tide's reserves help drop them to third.
Both teams are good at the same things, but the only other major stat category Mississippi State leads the Crimson Tide in is passing offense. The Bulldogs also hold an edge in punting, kickoff coverage, sacks against, first downs, fourth down conversions, penalties against and on-side kicks, for what those are worth.
Alabama is ahead in everything else, including scoring offense, scoring defense, total offense, total defense, rushing offense, rushing defense, passing defense and passing efficiency. No matter who wins, both teams will still be in contention for a trip to the SEC championship game because neither has a conference loss and neither has faced Texas A&M or LSU.
The difference will likely be that Alabama has more depth and hasn't struggled against any of its opponents as Mississippi State did a couple of times, and will be playing at home.
Even with Mississippi State's excellent start, Alabama is a 24-point favorite.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (April 24, 2013)–Laboratory science came to life for Hendrick Hudson High School students this week when they toured the lab at Hudson Valley Hospital Center as part of an advanced science program offered by the district.
Two groups, totaling more than 36 students, from the "Project Lead the Way" program visited the lab on April 22 and 23 to learn about laboratory science as part of a college-level science elective offered to students in grades 9-12.
Laboratory Director Sue Hyatt explained to students the different types of analysis conducted at the lab and showed them the latest equipment used to analyze blood and tissue during the tour.
Jeanine Hall, who teaches principals of biomedical science, said that the visit helped students to visualize what they had been learning in class.
"The students had a very enlightening experience – the hands-on nature of the lab tour was wonderful,'' said Hall.
The tour is part of a partnership between the school and Hudson Valley Hospital Center in which students can get a first-hand look into the workings of the medical field. When asked by Hyatt, students who visited on Tuesday said that they were interested in pursuing a variety of medically related professions from neurosurgery to veterinary science.
Other staff members who instructed students included: Betty Bennett, Outpatient Lab- CoordinatorCindy Coombs, CLT; Marla Morgen, CLT; Aimee Steinke, CLT, Blood Bank Supervisor; Kathy Zubradt, Processer; Brigid Shanley, CLT; Maggie Perpetua, CLT-Cytotechnologistand Mark Lavisores, CLT.
Beth Gruber, Resource Development Liaison for Hendrick Hudson School District, said that students at the school would be visiting other departments at the Hospital to illustrate other units learned in the program.

New London – A judge in New London on Wednesday dismissed the case against a Fitch High School teacher charged with a breach of peace following a reported altercation with a 14-year-old student in November.
Leonard Burke, 66, of Mystic, was initially charged with breach of peace, a misdemeanor, following investigation into an assault complaint.
A student in Burke's algebra class complained that Burke had grabbed him and used his arm to block his exit from a hallway alcove while scolding him for not completing his homework, according to the arrest warrant affidavit in the case.
Burke told police that when the student tried to walk away he used his arm to guide the student back to where he was speaking with him and the student may have bumped into his arm, the warrant states.
The case had been pending in New London Superior Court where on Wednesday Judge Karen A. Goodrow dismissed it. No reason for the dismissal was noted in the file. Prosecuting attorney Rafael I. Bustamante declined comment and Burke's attorney Stephen McEleney, was not available for comment.

ISM Adamo Prologue Saddle $184.95
Relieve the pressure.
Watching the pros race may be inspirational, but when we start to emulate our heroes of the road, most of us find out sooner, rather than later that we aren't quite cut out to fit their aggressive positions. Perhaps the most noticeable position change is the virtual complete lack of stem spacers. Slamming the stem looks cool, but without flexibility and, more importantly, the correct saddle, numbness and pain await. The ISM Adamo Prologue Saddle is designed to give you the freedom to get low in the drops and the comfort to stay there.
ISM saddles are distinct in that they forego a traditional saddle shape in favor of a design that includes a forked tip or nose. In between the two forks, the Prologue Saddle has a sizeable cutout that relieves the pressure put on the perineal artery by many of today's typical racing saddles. Testing shows that the ISM saddle design maintains upwards of 95% of your normal blood flow to some pretty important body parts in comparison to the 5 - 10% of normal blood flow values for other standard racing saddles.
The Adamo Prologue saddle also has a notable difference in the fore and aft location of the paddle, or the widest portion, of the saddle. The Prologue has this width about 2/3rds of the way back from the front. Most other racing saddles have their greatest width at 3/4ths of the length from the nose. This means the ISM Adamo design will better support your sit bones as you inevitably roll your hips forward when you are riding fast and in an aerodynamic position. These three things -- the cutout, forked front portion and the location of the paddle ensure that your weight is supported by your skeletal system and not your soft tissue. A testimonial from the ISM website says it all, "the only pain you should feel after a long ride is in your legs."
The ISM Adamo Prologue Saddle is available in Black. It has lightweight chromoly rails with a 65mm flat section to offer great fore and aft adjustability. It's a full length saddle at 270mm and it's 135mm wide.

OHHHH MYYYY GAWD! Thank the lord for this saddle. It is the most comfortably luxurious saddle ever! Ok, so I've only been riding for six months and upgraded to this from my stock saddle on my first ever road bike, a Focus Culebro, but my butt cannot lie, despite it's riding inexperience - this saddle is gold. I wouldn't even bother trying anything else. I fit into like a glove, except for a butt. You know the jersey/kit/bibs you always reach for every ride? This saddle would be that preferred item. I highly recommend at least trying it. My bike shop was kind enough to special order it for me, allow me two weeks test riding, and the option of a full refund if dissatisfied.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Seven media companies, including The Associated Press, filed papers with a federal appeals court Tuesday in support of Hearst Corp.'s fight to get the names of Major League Baseball players implicated in a steroids investigation.
The names of almost two dozen baseball players appear on a federal agent's application to raid the home of a former New York Mets clubhouse employee and admitted steroids dealer Kirk Radomski last year.
The players, whose names are blacked out on the affidavit, are alleged to have purchased steroids from Radomski, who pleaded guilty to drug distribution and is expected to be sentenced to prison early next year by the same federal judge handling the Barry Bonds perjury case and all related steroids cases.
As part of his plea bargain, Radomski agreed to cooperate with federal authorities and former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, who is investigating the use of performance-enhancing drugs for Major League Baseball. Radomski turned over the names to Mitchell, which the news organizations argue also entitles them and the public to the names.
Mitchell is expected to release his report by year's end and to name drug-using players. Those names are expected to be released publicly soon after the report is distributed to each MLB club.
"Particularly given the prior release of the names to Sen. Mitchell and MLB's right to further disseminate the names, a restriction on access to the court records cannot possibly be effective," states the brief submitted by Advance Publications Inc., The AP, Bloomberg News, CNN, the (New York) Daily News, The New York Times and the Tribune Co.
The companies also argued that search warrant affidavits are usually publicly available "because they provide the factual justification for the exercise of significant governmental power - sending federal agents into an individual's house."
Prosecutors asked a judge to keep the names under seal to protect the ongoing investigation. The MLB players' union argued that the names should be kept confidential to protect the players' privacy.
The media companies in their filing Tuesday said the players have no right to protect their names because "illegal drug purchases are not protected by any right to privacy."
Hearst made a similar court filing Nov. 21 asking the same 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel in New York to make the names public. A lower court had previously ruled against the company, which owns the San Francisco Chronicle and other publications.
This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.

Comments about Toachi 2:
I have worn out two pairs of these great sandals and would love to see more color choices. I'll buy again but people are beginning to wonder if I own other shoes...which I do but never wear. LOVE these. Most favorite part is that they have buckles and you can adjust Velcro once and forget it. Great foot support as I have painful feet if I go barefoot. If you need a good walking sandal with excellent support, I'd recommend these.

Q:What is the best way to clean this sandal? Mine are starting to become smelly.Asked on 10/20/2012 by lucyfan
1 answer
A:We foremost recommend using an antibacterial soap and water and hand wash, please do not machine wash. Also try scrubbing the top sole with a soft bristled brush while cleaning and gently bending the sandal from heel to toe under water pressure so that any dirt in the grooves of the top sole will wash away.
Other options:
• Mix 1 cup of Listerine (or any antibacterial mouth wash) to 2 cups of water. Soak for 15 minutes and scrub with a bristled brush. Let air dry.
• Put sandals in a pool with chlorine for 15-20 minutes. Scrub with a hard bristled brush. Rinse. Air dry.
• Wash them in the shower with Shampoo.
• Once clean, place the sandals in a sealable plastic bag and freeze overnight.
Our sandals are treated with Microban zinc (Triclosan-free!) to reduce bacterial growth. This product is most effective when it is occasionally exposed to sunlight. 15 minutes of exposure should be sufficient, we do not recommend longer than this at one time as it can be damaging to the sandals.
Some of our customers recommend the use of a product called NIKWAX Sandal Wash. Directions for the sandal wash include first rinsing the footbed with cold water and then applying the Sandal Wash as directed. After rinsing again, pat with a paper towel, and then let air dry.Answered on 10/22/2012 by Teva Product Specialist

Check Out Ongoing Costs
Buying a Home
Check Out Ongoing Costs
The cost of buying a new home extends well past the date of purchase. What you pay for a home is important, but whether you can afford that home is based on more than the amount of your mortgage payment; it also depends on other monthly costs like utilities and taxes. Don't simply rely on what your real estate agent tells you; ask sellers to provide you with recent copies of utility bills and tax bills. And make sure the tax assessor's information is up to date; if the sellers added on a room or made some other significant improvement that they did not report to the local government offices, your taxes could go up significantly in the future if the house is re-assessed. Ask questions and get documentation for any expenses you're concerned about your mortgage payment is only one of the costs you'll need to be able to afford.

"Watch out Tom Hanks, there's a new kid in town.
"His name is Jackson Quinn, but unlike Hanks' character in the classic movie, "Big," he did not have to change size to gain his dream job. The Chagrin Falls Intermediate School sixth grader, 10, simply sent an email to Jaime Casap, Global Education Evangelist for Google.
"I would love to be Google's junior consultant and I think the best way to learn about children and what they like is from a child's perspective," Jackson wrote.
"He obtained Casap's contact information this summer, through Mike Daugherty, the district's technology director. The district is rolling out the next step of its Chromebook program this fall, but Jackson has been using his Google Nexus for about six months, and loves it."

An American academic is creating a searchable database of 12 million historic copyright-free images.
Kalev Leetaru has already uploaded 2.6 million pictures to Flickr, which are searchable thanks to tags that have been automatically added.
The photos and drawings are sourced from more than 600 million library book pages scanned in by the Internet Archive organisation.
The images have been difficult to access until now.
Mr Leetaru said digitisation projects had so far focused on words and ignored pictures.
"For all these years all the libraries have been digitising their books, but they have been putting them up as PDFs or text searchable works," he told the BBC.
"They have been focusing on the books as a collection of words. This inverts that.
"Stretching half a millennia, it's amazing to see the total range of images and how the portrayals of things have changed over time.

"Throughout my teaching years, I've struggled with getting my students or trainees to readily participate. Learners are shy about exposing themselves to peers, especially if they do not know them well. Icebreakers can help alleviate our learners' hesitation, because they relax the atmosphere, allow learners to share without the pressure of being graded, and help our learners get to know each other. In the slide presentation below I share some digital icebreakers I have used with learners of various ages. Find more in the bookmarks that follow the presentation."

"Tracy Fischetti's high school students improved their reading level scores about three times as much as expected last year, according to the state's 2013 test scores.
"Of all the English teachers in Florida, she scored the highest on the state's Value Added Measure (VAM). Interestingly, Fischetti had no idea of her distinction until I emailed her in early March. "I am not sure how you would have gotten wind of my classroom chaos in California," she wrote. The metric isn't viewed positively in her district.
"I'm sure many readers' jaws clench at the mention of VAM Scores. I'm going to sidestep that controversy for this post except to note that, inadequate as test scores are for assessing educational quality, they're not a bad starting point to discover promising practices. No matter what you think of VAM, Fischetti and her students have accomplished something impressive, and I couldn't be more grateful for the time she took to share her approach with me.
"There are three practices that Fischetti employs consistently that seem to account for a lot of her success".

"It's a grounding in computational thinking — not a facility with the latest feature or product — that fosters future success in the field, whether students go on to become engineers or inventors or entrepreneurs.
That's a powerful rationale for teaching computational thinking to our young people. But there's a problem. In conventional computer science instruction, these principles are only accessible to those who learn how to program. This poses a big hurdle, especially for younger students. Enter Computer Science Unplugged, which has been developed at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand over the past two decades.
"Professors Tim Bell, Mike Fellows and Ian H. Witten, have figured out how to teach the concepts of computer science through games, puzzles and magic tricks. Taking the computer out of the picture — for the time being — allows children as young as five to learn about the basic ideas that undergird computer science. Youngsters can tackle topics as apparently abstruse as algorithms, binary numbers, Boolean circuits, and cryptographic protocols. The activities offered by Computer Science Unplugged are aimed at students in kindergarten through seventh grade, though they have been used by students in high school and even college."

By Jeff Turrentine
— By last Friday, three days after the re-election of President Obama but before the final tally of electoral votes had been confirmed, a curious phenomenon was already taking place on the "We the People" website, which the Obama White House set up in 2011 as an easy way for Americans to petition the executive branch for the redress of grievances. Disgruntled individuals in various states — generously taking it upon themselves to speak for the rest of their states' populations — were announcing their desire to secede from the union and formally requesting permission from the federal government to do so.
As of earlier this week, petitioners in more than 30 states had expressed their keen interest in severing ties. According to "We the People," any petitions that earn 25,000 signatures within 30 days of their original posting will automatically receive an official response from the White House — which, if and when it comes, is almost certain to resemble the kind of "official response" routinely dispensed by immensely powerful corporations that feel compelled to acknowledge customer dissatisfaction, but who can afford not to offer any form of actual recompense. ("Thank you for your interest in seceding from the United States of America. We appreciate and share your concern about the fragile state of our union. Unfortunately, at this time . . . ")
It's unclear just how many of the state petitioners will be able to meet the signature threshold. But even if every one of them finds 24,999 like-minded souls to sign their names, one state will enjoy an advantage over the others. It will probably come as no surprise that the state in question is Texas, which has always prided itself on doing things its own way.
My home state is an odds-on favorite to stick it to the federal man in a secession battle in part because it's been spoiling for such a fight since Reconstruction. But it's not just the state's vaunted independent streak that gives it a leg up: Thanks to a strange quirk of its original annexation agreement, Texas may actually be in a slightly better position than any of the other 49 states to back up its tough-guy talk.
Just four days after a Texan known only as "Micah H" petitioned the U.S. government to allow his home state to secede peacefully, his petition had received more than three times the number of signatures necessary to merit an official reply from the White House. (Sympathetic signatories were jumping onto his bandwagon at the rate of about 2,000 per hour this week.) This remarkable outpouring of support — no other state has even come close to matching Texas' number of signatures — coupled with a statement made late last week by one Texas GOP official who likened Obama voters to "maggots" and called for an "amicable divorce" between Texas and the United States, prompted Texas Gov. Rick Perry, R, to weigh in. In an e-mail to a Dallas Morning News reporter this week, the governor's press secretary affirmed for anyone who might be wondering that her boss "believes in the greatness of our Union and [that] nothing should be done to change it."
Those soothing words are a far cry from the ones Gov. Perry uttered back in 2009, at a Tea Party rally in Austin. Though he hadn't yet announced his candidacy for the GOP presidential nomination, Perry was already trafficking in the kind of bellicose anti-Washington language that would earn him his brief moment as the GOP's front-runner, before he flamed out spectacularly during the primaries. At that rally, Perry answered a reporter's question about the notion of state sovereignty with all the menacing subtlety of a Lone Star loan shark. "We've got a great union," he said. "There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that?"
Nice country you got there. Be a real shame if something happened to it. Right before he made that comment, Perry had told the same reporter that "when [Texas] came in the union in 1845, one of the issues was that we would be able to leave, if we decided to do that." To the extent that Texas' future right to secede from the United States may have been discussed, argued, and/or wished for upon the state's annexation, the governor was technically correct in saying that it was an "issue." But Perry's wording suggested that a right to secede was built, as some sort of term or condition, into the original joint resolution of Congress that brought the Republic of Texas into the union.
That simply isn't true. Texas' so-called "right" to secede is no more than a politically emboldening myth, the boastful residue of the decade it spent as a sovereign nation before joining America. There's simply nothing in the state's official annexation papers, or in any other contemporaneous documents for that matter, to suggest otherwise. Nevertheless, over the last century and half this myth has proven harder to kill than a mound of East Texas fire ants. As recently as 2009, the pollster Rasmussen Reports noted that nearly one-third of Texans believed their state could unilaterally split off from the U.S. if it chose to do so. In the state's 2008 Republican Senate primary, Larry Kilgore, a secessionist who openly had proclaimed his hatred for the federal government, received more than 18 percent of the vote — representing almost 250,000 ballots cast — in his race against the incumbent, John Cornyn.
But while it may not enjoy any such right, Texas can legitimately claim to be holding an unusual ace up its sleeve, which — should it ever be played — could end up altering the face of the U.S. map even more significantly than secession would. And were it to be played deftly, that ace could even set the stage for the very secession scenario that Micah H. and his separatist compatriots so passionately envision.
A few years ago, while conducting research for a novel I was writing about Lone Star politics, I discovered a short clause in the state's 1845 annexation agreement that's well known to any serious state historian, though far less well known to the average Texan. Buried beneath some highly boring details about how the republic's resources were to be transferred to the federal government in Washington is language stipulating that "[n]ew States, of convenient size, not exceeding four in number, in addition to said State of Texas, and having sufficient population, may hereafter, by the consent of said State, be formed out of the territory thereof, which shall be entitled to admission under the provisions of the federal constitution."
Put plainly, Texas agreed to join the union in 1845 on the condition that it be allowed to split itself into as many as five separate states whenever it wanted to, and contingent only on the approval of its own state legislature. For more than 150 years, this right to divide — unilaterally, which is to say without the approval of the U.S. Congress — has been packed away in the state's legislative attic, like a forgotten family heirloom that only gets dusted off every now and then by some politician who has mistaken it for a beautiful beacon of hope.
Could the current crop of Texas secessionists use the division clause in pursuit of their separatist goals? It would certainly be worth a shot. Naturally, it took the Machiavellian political mind of Texan Tom DeLay — the former House majority leader, currently out on bail while appealing a 2011 money-laundering conviction — to put the pieces of a tenable scheme together. The day after Perry blew his secessionist dog whistle to that reporter back in 2009, DeLay went on MSNBC's "Hardball" to cheerfully defend his governor's remarks. When host Chris Matthews insisted (correctly) that unilateral secession was illegal and couldn't take place, DeLay stopped his maniacal grinning for a moment and cited the division clause.
DeLay intimated that the threat of sending eight newly minted, and almost certainly Republican, senators to Washington might be the key to getting this whole secession ball rolling. Referring directly to the language of the joint resolution, he said, "If we invoke it, the United States Senate would kick us out . . . because they're not going to allow 10 (sic) new Texas senators into the Senate. That's how you secede."
Is it a nutty idea? Sure. An un-American idea? Definitely. But for flag-waving patriots, a sizable number of whom have suddenly found themselves transformed into America-bashing cynics, it must seem like an idea whose time has finally, if sadly, come.

Certain foods and dishes bring out the passion in people - especially in the barbecue genre. Different regions have specialties and their own way of doing things. Whether it be about the wood, the rub or the sauce, full-blown arguments can erupt over which is best if you are talking people who are passionate about their 'que.
Another dish that creates hard-headed passion is Buffalo chicken wings.
This dish was created at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, N.Y. The story goes that the owner of the bar wanted to fix a late-night snack for her son and his friends, so she used what she had on hand. Back then chicken wings were scraps, so she decided to deep fry them and create a sauce using hot sauce, butter and vinegar. She used blue cheese dressing for dip, and voila, Buffalo wings.
Many recipes out there claim to be the original. But, if anything else is added, it is not the original sauce. Even the Anchor Bar has created many varieties and flavors.
If you want a taste of the original, give this simple recipe a try.
The basics
For this recipe, I used thighs instead of wings. Thighs were $1.19 per pound, while wings were $1.99 per pound. Also, I like the flavor of thighs, and they have more meat for less money. I used this recipe to make a family pack - or about 10 - chicken thighs.
I used indirect heat, which means only half the grill has coals under it. If you are using a gas grill, preheat with all flames, then turn off half of them.
For coals, I used a mixture of standard briquettes and lump wood charcoal.
Getting started
Brush both sides of each thigh with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. For more flavor, use your favorite rub. I used a rub with a paprika and brown sugar base that included granulated garlic, salt, onion powder and black freshly cracked pepper. Go online and find a basic rub recipe. (I keep a batch on hand in our kitchen.)

This is continuosly one of my favorite hefes in the world,pours a deep yellow/orange color with a very nice big blooming head.The aroma is yeasty and I always got somewhat of a smokey aroma from it with some banana clove presence.The taste is refreshing and a little lemony to go along with some nice spiciness.This is the first hefe I think of when thinking of good German style wheat beers.

Appearance - This one came out a cloudy yellowish-orange in color with a white, moderate head on a painful pour from the bartender.
Smell - The nice even yeast aroma is pleasant and contrasts well with the orange lemon accents. The spicing here smells a little more Belgian than German.
Taste - The orange zest overpowers at the taste. It's not a bad flavor but it is a bit too zesty like the lemon was brewed right in with the beer.
Mouthfeel - This is in between light and medium-bodied with a spritzy type of carbonation.
Drinkability - This was refreshing enough but was not even in the same league as the bottle-conditioned version.

This review is for the Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse beer. The bottle says that it is 355ml aka 12oz. I love me some wheat beers! This one was very good. I served it in a wheat beer glass (the way its meant to be consumed). After the head dissipated I took my first sip and I have to say this is a great beer! I Loved it. You can get some yeast, bread, banana, and spices (typical hefe notes). I drank this beer very cold, I think that's how this should be consumed. It is a refreshing beer so consume it cold to cool you down. The Franziskaner was about $1.50 for a 12oz bottle. I also drank an Ayinger Bräu Weisse right before I drank this beer. I felt like the Ayinger was just smoother and more enjoyable. It was bubbly like champagne in the mouth. The negative to the Ayinger is that it cost me $3.50 a bottle (16.9oz).
Make no mistake, this Franziskaner is a top beer! It is a better buy in my opinion than the Ayinger. I'd drink this beer no problem. I just felt it didn't have as much flavor? That could be my fault... being drunk and eating food could have skewed my palate. I drank the Ayinger while sober. :)
My reviews are more mental notes for me. I don't really care about smells, appearance, etc. Just the overall taste.

On tap at the Oak Cafe. Pours a soft shade of gold with some honey-yellow that shows itself when held up to any amount of light. There's a very light translucency to the beer, although it's still mostly hazy as I would expect most original hefeweizens to be. The frothy, off-white head settles quicker than expected, despite its large size. Moderate lacing was left behind.
There are plenty of fruity esters in the aroma of Franziskaner's Hefe to please those who enjoy their German beers a little sweeter or fruitier. Some spice and clove are definitely there, just a bit more buried than usual. The ripe banana, soft wheat, and residual sugar-like sweetness are in overdrive, along with maybe a slight hint of cereal grains at the very tail end. As with most hefes, the yeast steals the show, and that's how it should be.
Slightly to my surprise, the flavor of Franziskaner's Hefe as it hits my palate is a bit lighter and less robust than the aroma; they don't "pop" or rock my palate like I know they are capable of, and it's mildly upsetting. The flavors available on my tongue are pretty nice, however, consisting of a bit of banana and light pear and goes hand-in-hand with an ever-so-faint tartness. Yeast esters go wild, as well, including spice, clove, and a touch of white pepper.
The yeast profile plays nicely with the huge wheat-and-grain background upon which this beer is built. Somewhere around the middle, a pretty mild mustiness comes into play - my guess would be from the hops, and they seem to be of the Noble variety, although I'm just throwing that out there. The smooth and creamy mouth feel of this hefe feels nice, although the body could stand to be a bit thicker. Medium-heavy carbonation with a yeast-filled and wheat soaked aftertaste.
Very enjoyable and easy drinking - this one will go down like a champ, no doubt. It's a bit sweeter and less spicy than I personally like my hefeweizens, but I'm sure there are people out there who find this profile more suitable for their palate. As always, your mileage may vary. This is still a great-tasting and well crafted beer, although when stuff like Weihenstephaner's Hefeweissbier is just as available and around the same price, it would be hard to choose this one again.

This a classic looking cloudy straw-colored beer with big rocky white head. Lovely. Aromas are very muted and they are of yeast and clove. This hefe has a bigger banana flavor than most, but an even bigger berry/ strawberry flavor chases it for a delicious combo on the palate that is called back by a slight hop twang and just a whisp of clove in the finish. This is great beer with a wonderful interplay of classic flavors. Citrus character is notabley abcent and I find I don't miss it. In fact, its almost more refreshing without. Very true to style, but still stands out. This is one of the best wheat beers I've ever had.

Poured from a single bottle into a pint glass.
A: Pours a beautiful hazy golden color with a thick white foamy head of at least an inch. Retention is superb with great lacing down the glass. I can't imagine a better look for a Hefe!
S: Elegant aromas of wheat, malt and citrus hops come together very nicely. Nothing real pungent here but very nice.
T&M: Light wheat & malt engulf the tongue with a fantastic creamy texture that slowly ebbs to to the finish. The initial rush of flavor has a hint of sweetness but the balance is so even with the light hops that slowly fade together. Very nice. The finish is quick and clean, with the tail end of the experience slipping away to a slightly wateriness and then... gone. The carbonation is fine and lively, contributing to the white fluffy and persistent head on this brew. Light on the tongue, perfectly balanced, and very satisfying.
D: I can't think of a better time to enjoy this than after a hot day in the sun. It has just the right amount of wheat, malt, and hops and there is no "wheat chafe" aftertaste. Very enjoyable and very much recommended.

Beer review from BA Mag Aug 2007.
Going back to 1363, Franziskaner is one of Munich's oldest privately owned breweries; but today, they're currently owned by Spaten/InBev. Regardless of their affiliation, this is some old-school Weissbier. They also brew a Dunkel (dark) version, but we'll be tasting the Hell (bright).
Pours extremely cloudy--as per the style--with sunny hues ranging from amber to dark orange, topped with a frothy foam head that rests to a respectful lacing. Banana esters and phenolic clove-like aromas pique interest and entice the palate. Super-creamy, with a crisp edge of carbonation and a light, but firm body. Some lemony citrus strikes from the moderate hopping, just enough, and it works well with the carbonation. Distinct "wheaty" flavor and feel. Light banana and a dashing of powdery clove add depth. Soft caramel and bready notes beneath, with a hint of hop leaf toward the drying finish.
If the estery and phenolic style of Weissbiers is your thing, this is truly a classic among the style--well balanced and extremely drinkable. No lemon required.

A truly awesome Heffe. This one poured a deep cloudy yellow with a medium sized head that lasted awhile before settling into a nice pillow on top of the beer. The smell was slighly of grain but the yeast shone through as well as the light honey scent. The taste was fantastic with a huge bananna flavor, and a slight citrus flavor in the backround. I think this was a very fresh keg because this beer was outstanding. Highly recommended.

Presentation: 12oz green bottle with a chubby monk holding a stein in one hand and rubbing his full of beer belly with the other. Label says "Malt Liquor" ... yeah, right.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy orange-gold-amber beer with an initial patchy white creamy head. It settles to a thin lace.
Smell: A musty, yeasty aroma with notes of clove and soft banana.
Taste: Smooth, creamy and crisp (wheat) on the palate. Body is light to medium. A lemony hop character starts of this beer with a zesty, slightly puckering bite that lingers on in the background and into the finish. Carbonation is seltzery. Malt flavours follow with caramel, grain and other toasted malt qualities. Clove spice notes and light banana flavours mingle with the malts quite nicely. Finish is a bit dry, grainy and yeasty.
Notes: Unfiltered and bottle conditioned. Supposedly the "leading Barvarian Weissbeer in the world". However, it could be a hell of a lot fresher here in the US, and as a result I can say that I've had better. Still ... a classic Hefeweiss, but classic in the sense that it happens to come from Germany and a rather old brewery (1363).

The key is a lot of repetition. Once you see more fly balls, more line drives right at you, it becomes second nature. I've had trouble with a few, especially those line drives. I've looked foolish on a few. That's all part of the process.
This whole experience is really good for me. I get a chance to compare myself to the older guys, watch the hitters and see how my pitching compares. Coming from Savannah and then walking into the park here in Houston, that's awesome.
I've only had 70 at-bats at the Triple-A level, so I'm trying to get better every day and hopefully one day take that approach to the big leagues.
When I was younger, I used little those little spring-loaded grippers to strengthen my hands, and that helped. Every now and then I work on that. But basically, bat speed is natural. I've always had it.
John Danks (Rangers), LHP -- U.S.
When you're in a jam like that in the third inning, does it affect your approach to hitters? Is it tough to keep your composure? -- Rich, Houston, TX
I'm not really worried. I'm just trying to focus on making my pitch out there. In that situation with the bases loaded, I told myself I wasn't going to give up the run or give up the lead. Let the defense do its job. That's been my biggest thing this season. The Rangers have worked with me on not worrying about results and instead worrying about the batter at the plate. If you break a bat or give up an infield hit and they score a few runs, don't worry about it. Eventually, if you keep making good pitches and do your job, the defense will make it happen.
Jeremy Reed (Mariners), OF -- U.S.
How have you adjusted to being traded? Does being with Seattle give you a chance to get to the big leagues sooner? -- Tom, Tacoma, WA
Yeah, I've adjusted to the trade. I feel real comfortable in this organization and I feel like Seattle is a good place for me.
You never look for a trade, but when it happens you just have to adjust to it and prepare for your next spot. When you go for a guy like Freddy Garcia, somebody wants you. In Seattle the whole team, for the most part, has taken me in and taken care of me.
Delmon Young (Devil Rays), OF -- U.S.
What things are you working on in the minor leagues and what advice does your brother Dmitri offer you? -- Allison, Coral Gables, FL
I'm working on just staying consistent and learning how to play every day. It's harder than people think because of the travel and having flights delayed and stuff like that. And the bus rides. The games aren't as bad because it's only three hours a day. But last week in Charleston, S.C., it was 103 degrees, and we played a three-hour game. It cooled off to only 95 for the end of it. But that's tough.
On my brother, he gives me advice about what I should do on and off the field, to stay out of trouble and move along the organization. He talks about situations he's going through now with fans and teammates and umpires, things that happen on and off the field and can be tough to deal with when you're right out of high school.
Bryan Bullington (Pirates), RHP -- U.S.
There's a lot of pressure on you since you were the first pick of the draft. How have the Pirates helped you in letting you work slowly through the minors? -- Anonymous
Coming into pro ball, I knew I was going to spend some time in the minors, a year in Single-A ball, a year in Double-A, and then go from there. I'm just making progress and working my way to the big leagues. The way I try to look at it is the draft was two years ago. I'm in the same boat as everybody else right now, and we're all working toward the same thing down there, and that's getting to Pittsburgh as soon as possible. You put everything else, expectations and all, out of your mind.
