Animal Planet's 'Finding Bigfoot' show features VermontBy Courtney Parker
Correspondent | November 16,2012
Provided photo Cast members of the show, "Findign Bigfoot" are shown in this image from Animal Planet.The infamous legend of Bigfoot has left people puzzled for years as they ponder the validity or myth surrounding the creature.
Now, Rutland, along with the state of Vermont, is getting in on the action as Animal Planet showcases peculiar findings possibly linking Bigfoot to the Vermont area in one of its ''Finding Bigfoot'' segments.
The Sasquatch hunting team hit Vermont in early April to begin its investigation, holding a town hall meeting allowing locals to share their Bigfoot encounter stories.
Among the group was Rutland's Jules Peteani who went with his family to meet the crew and listen to locals relay their personal experiences.
"I find it very interesting," he said, speaking of the myth.
Peteani believes the Vermont region would make for a desirable habitat if the creature did exist and even admitted that he and his family took to the woods for their own squatch search.
"We had a lot of fun."
The Vermont segment will be featured in this Sunday's episode titled "Mother Bigfoot" as part of the second season ''Finding Bigfoot'' series.
"Finding Bigfoot," which has been on the air since May 2011, consists of four researchers who travel around the globe in search of the infamous Sasquatch.
The crew journeys to various points based on reported eyewitnesses and collective evidence to launch their own investigations, all in hopes of catching a glimpse of Bigfoot.
This fall's season kicked off Nov. 11 and is scheduled to run regularly on Sunday nights.
"Central Vermont is 'squatchy' as our team would say, meaning it provides the appropriate habitat, wildlife, and natural conditions that they typically find bigfoot sightings," said the show's post-production producer Alison Caraotta, explaining why Vermont was highlighted as a hot spot for possible squatch activity.
This Sunday's episode, beginning at 10 p.m., highlights the team's venture through Vermont and the special investigation of a local man's photograph of what may be a Sasquatch carrying her baby.
Locals can judge for themselves based on the team's in-depth analysis of the picture during the show, as well as the rest of their findings from the Vermont forests.
As far as Peteani is concerned, the legend of Bigfoot will continue to live on, allowing people to judge for themselves whether they choose to believe or not.
He and his family plan to watch Sunday's show in hopes of finding more clarification on the subject.
"I don't not believe," said Peteani, joking about the myth of the Sasquatch.
"But I'm a believer in the possibility."MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER With just days to go before the Democratic primaries, and a sitting governor and... Full StoryBOSTON Red Sox manager John Farrell calls outfielder Rusney Castillo an exciting, athletic... Full StoryCampsite at Santas Full Story

Kino Flo is a relatively new lighting concept that uses fluorescent technology exclusively. Any artful person involved in still or motion picture photography in any capacity has typically avoided fluorescent lighting at all cost, because it usually gives off a nasty green spike that is considered unflattering to most. Kino Flo has developed color balanced fluorescent tubes that provide close to perfect 3200K (tungsten) or 5500K (daylight). I have found these fixtures to be nice complements to large lighting schemes and great to use exclusively for small setups. Light weight, cool operation, low voltage draw, versatile, need I say more?
Large HMIs or tungsten Fresnels through large dense diffusions are not always practical, although admittedly, they will always be the more beautiful option when resources allow.

A couple wants answers. According to the man and woman, a contractor nearly drained their savings account. It was money they couldn't afford to lose.
It was supposed to be a post-retirement present to themselves, a storage shed behind Ella Kent and her husband's Baker home.
"I paid $850 for the first down payment for him to get started," said Kent. "Then, at the end, I paid him $975, which he told me at first the house was going to be $1,650, but ended up being more because he said he would add the door."
The "he" she referred to is John Givens, a contractor she heard about from a friend. Kent paid Givens nearly $2,000 back in February. She said he started the job, but never finished it.
"You can't open them. These are interior doors. These are not storage," she said.
Warped from weather conditions, the doors without knobs just weren't doing it for Kent. She said Givens gave a different excuse every month as to why he hadn't been back to fix them or would tell her he'd be by, but wouldn't show up.
"He said that he would be here today. So, we'll see," said Kent.
He didn't show up the day a news crew was there and Kent was beyond frustrated. She said she didn't want to have to call the media, but was running out of options.
"I know I don't have the money to redo this," she explained.
Givens is not a state-licensed contractor, but the law states he doesn't have to be, as long as his work costs under $7,000.
The crew stopped by Givens' Baker home and even tried asking his neighbors if they knew where he was. He was finally reached by phone, but would not agree to an interview.
Although, he said he had been sick and then had problems with his tools. He added he would head to the Kents right away.
"I'm hoping that he will do what is right," Kent responded to the news.
Givens followed through with what he told the news crew. Ella Kent has a new door on the shed outside and said she's pleased, with no hard feelings toward Givens.

The result is an impressive, if too long, first feature that is likely to raise Japanese hackles and Korean spirits in roughly equal proportion.
Though it ultimately devolves into megabudget Hollywood action-movie cliches by way of John Woo, Lee's handsome blockbuster is an entertaining variation on the American formulas that have colonized world cinema.
More often a noirish action drama, a melancholy meditation on history and nationalism, than the high-tech thriller promised by its hype and artwork.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
A 14 year-old boy was seriously injured riding his bicycle Sunday afternoon after being hit by a pickup truck in Ottawa County.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol says Marilyn Cuevas, 59, of Port Clinton was driving in the westbound lane of Lockwood Rd. a little after 4pm.
14 year-old Joe Rojas was riding his bicycle, also in the westbound lane of Lockwood Rd.
When Ms. Cuevas moved into the east bound lane to pass the bicycle, Rojas turned left in front of the pickup and was struck.
Rojas was taken to St. Vincent's hospital in Toledo by helicopter.
Neither Ms. Cuevas nor her passenger were injured in the accident.
The crash remains under investigation and no citation has been issued at this time.

842: Mark
Title text: I'm a solipsistic conspiracy theorist. I'm sure I must be up to something, and I will not stop until I find out what.
[edit] Explanation
The punchline refers to an old grade school/middle school prank (Urban Dictionary: pen 15 club, Pen 15.) You'd typically walk up to an unsuspecting schoolmate and ask him if he wants to join the Pen Fifteen club. You'd tell him that to join, you merely have to write the club name on him. You'd then write "PEN15" on his hand or arm, and everyone would laugh at him because it looks like "Penis". In this case, Cueball fell victim to this prank as a child without ever figuring out the joke (maybe because they got him to write it himself on his arm and he literally wrote "Pen Fifteen" instead of "Pen15"). Later on, he created meaning and conspiracy out of two completely unrelated, coincidental events, and resultantly burned someone's house down. All because he so badly wants to be part of something bigger.
As for the title text, solipsism is the philosophical idea that only your own mind is sure to exist while other minds can't be really known and so those other minds are not proved to be real.
[edit] Transcript
- [Cueball and a child are talking.]
- Child: What's that on your arm?
- Cueball: The mark of a secret society.
- Child: If it's secret, why tell me-
- Cueball: Because I know nothing. I can't betray them because I don't know who they are. I was chosen by an agent 20 years ago. That was my first and last direct contact. It's safer that way.
- Six years later I found a piece of paper in the street with an address on it. The next day I found a can of kerosene in my garage that I'm sure I never bought.
- [The panel represents these actions by highlighting the mentioned objects in a world of gray.]
- I didn't know whose house it was. I just knew that I'd been given my orders. And I carried them out.
- [A dark figure is silhouetted against a flame.]
- Cueball: I don't know who or what we're fighting.
- Cueball: Maybe we're the bad guys.
- Cueball: It doesn't matter to me.
- Cueball: It's enough to know that there are forces working beneath the chaos of life, and I'm a part of them.
- Cueball: That whatever this "pen fifteen" club is,
- Cueball: I'm in it.
The title "Mark" referring to both the mark on his arm, and the fact that he is a "mark" -- a victim of a prank or confidence scheme. 184.108.40.206 22:18, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Hey, I'm part of this club too! Been burning down houses and killing people for years now. ~JFreundI guess this gives us a pretty good approximation of Cueball's age. He's probably 30-33 years old. Jake (talk) 14:28, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Great rear tire for a wr250r. Work good on and off road.Read All Reviews

I run a wide range of terrain from sand to rocky. This tire is quickly wearing out after only about 180 miles since new. I can't say that it hooks up supremely, either. The front matching tire is a full 3/8 narrower than the same size Pirelli mid-hard. It's twitchy like a pizza cutter wheel. I won't buy these ever again. I'm not a spin the tires kind of rider, either. I like to hook up and ride smooth. Sand...well, that can't be helped.Read All Reviews
Larry in WA
I have used these for local aggressive road riding and lots of steep logging roads, some practice stuff (jumping little logs, deep sand Etc) I'm not an experienced dirt rider. Much better off road traction then my Anakee 3's Really good with decreased air pressure off road (25 pounds or so). Anakee's better on road, but not as big a difference.as expected. Rear wears fast, down quite a bit after 4,000 miles, enough to need to change. The squared profile causes some instability with aggressive dive into turns on road- still 1000 left for gravel i'd guess Did a trip to Northern BC/Yukon - performance great for varied roads, off roads. Great price here so ordered a new rear todayRead All Reviews
Steve in NM
It works well in sand, mud, 70mph dirt roads, and on the street. I really like this front tire.Read All Reviews
RICHARD in MN
I bought a front and back 244 last winter. I just replaced the 244's with the same thing, so that says something! I put about 5000 miles on them. I'm not a small guy and I ride fairly hard. They worked well for me on both on and off road. They aren't road race tires, or MX tires, but they strike a good balance. Why spend more? BTW love Rocky Mountain ATV/MC!Read All Reviews
Brandon in UT
My 450X is plated for the road, but I ride off road a lot. The front is DOT, but the rear is not. Both are holding up better than the stock tires that came on my bike and work great off road. I ride desert, rocks, loose dirt, packed dirt, and everything else except mud. Tires are very predictable and hook.Read All Reviews

Westport wins 'The Best Place to Live in Ireland' contest.
So the best place to live in Ireland is a pretty, landlord, town . . . . what does this tell us?
According to a feature report on Monday, and presumably in an attempt to scotch the notion that this selection had anything to do with a superior density of hanging baskets over rival contenders, [Cork; 1 basket per 20,000 head of population, . . . Ardara; we have a wee one, . . . and Rathmines; zero] the Irish Times reported that: 'The town was chosen for its community of people working together to make the best of its many advantages'
Maybe so, but if Westport has this wonderful sense of community, how come its population of 5,500 is splintered into 97 different voluntary associations?
In a side column, John O'Callaghan, after listing the sickeningly long list of Westport's many advantages, makes the acute observation that, 'You see, Westport was planned right from the start'.
to quote Stephen:
planning . . . . . now there's a notion

My copy of the hardback book arrived a few days ago. It is a real pleasure to hold, enjoy and show to others. Just thinking about how much time, energy and effort has gone into creating the photographs, the selection process followed by the layout, and finally, navigating the blurb system to upload the final book makes me appreciate the photographs much more.
Thank you for including three of my photographs.

Campaign plea to make 20 plenty (From Gazette)
Get involved: send your pictures, video, news and views by texting GAZETTE NEWS to 80360, or email
Colchester group to keep road speeds down
Updated 10:46am Monday 20th January 2014 in News
A CAMPAIGN to keep speed limits in Colchester to 20mph is being set up.
UK-wide campaigners 20's Plenty For Us is looking for volunteers to join its Colchester group.
It claims as a result of its work, more than 8million people live in areas where 20mph zones have been implemented.
Rod King, national campaign leader, said: "So many communities have decided that 20 is plenty in their streets.
"Now it's time for Colchester borough to do the same.
"Many people in the town have wanted 20mph for a long time and the new Colchester group will draw together supporters to bring pressure on Essex County Council."
Will Bramhill, the group's Colchester representative, added: "I'm a driver as well as a cyclist, pedestrian and bus user, so I know that it is perfectly possible to drive at 20mph and I know the huge benefits it brings.
"My first task will be to build up the group. I'll be working with the existing 20's Plenty groups in Chelmsford, Basildon and Epping Forest, and would love to hear from anyone who wants to lead a campaign in Harwich, Clacton, Braintree, Witham or Halstead."
A petition has been set up at 20splentyforcolchester.org.uk and on change.org in support of the campaign.

Our mayor lacks vision. His plan for creation of electricity for the next 20 years is to burn trash. He could not have gotten that idea from reading. The current Standard and Poore's survey for the electric utilities industry projects that coal as a fuel source accounted for 45 percent total generation in 2010 and will account for around 39 percent of total power production in the industry by 2035; and natural gas will increase from 24 percent to 27 percent of electricity generation over the same time period.
According to the federal Energy Information Administration, incineration of municipal waste accounted for only one half of 1 percent of total electric generation 10 years ago and that remains the same today. The projected growth rate for trash as fuel between 2010 and 2035 is 0.1 percent.
The mayor courted incineration sponsors early on in his administration in 2012. He created a "team" with incineration as the goal in November 2012. It comes as no surprise that the mayor's paid consultants propose trash incineration by Pyrolyzer LLC.
Pyrolysis, by theory, is gasification technology. There is no commercially operated pyrolysis plant in continuous operation in the United States. Pyrolyzer LLC proposes to build one in Logansport.
Pyrolyzer's spokesman is Frank Canterbury, an investment consultant from Florida, in this finance business since 2008. Canterbury wants to sell us equipment developed and manufactured by the German company KUG. In 1999 KUG built a small pyrolysis unit to test various feed stock. In 2002, more than 10 years ago, KUG built a continuous operation plant. Machinery of this type is designed to operate 8,000 hours before being taken off-line for maintenance. KUG's plant only operated continuously for 1,600 hours. The plant shut down after 15 days. This equipment has not been proven commercially viable. The reasonable business mind needs to see a commercial size plant in operation with independently verifiable safe production results over a significant period of time.
The city's business plan for the next 20 years should be based upon reliable science, not risk. The city should terminate its pursuit of incineration and publicly discuss the alternatives.

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

Apple is the undisputed master when it comes to using television to market new technology. The sincerest form of flattery being what it is, it's not surprising that every major manufacturer now uses TV ads to unleash its own "next big thing." Today, news about new products floods the blogosphere long before launch campaigns hit the airwaves. A new product can actually be panned before it reaches stores. Bad reviews from uber geeks, however, don't daunt ad agencies. In a :30 spot, every product is a ground-breaking miracle!For the past few weeks, I haven't been able to watch a popular network TV program without seeing ads for the new BlackBerry Z10 smart phone or the HP Envy x2 two-in-one tablet/notebook. The theme for BlackBerry's campaign is "Keep Moving," which aside from borrowing the brand name of a fine, Louisiana-made cigar, spells out exactly what the company formerly known as Research in Motion hopes these ads will accomplish: make the new Z10 smart phone fly off dealers' shelves. The TV spot for the HP ENVY x2 featuring magician Dan White is more warm and fuzzy. The late Steve Jobs often used the word "magical" at Apple product launches. HP obviously believes that a real magician will make an even better pitchman. BlackBerry Z10 smart phone The BlackBerry Z10 is the first smart phone to use the re-designed, re-engineered and re-invented BlackBerry 10 platform. As such, the company claims the Z10 is the fastest and most advanced BlackBerry model ever produced.The unit features an all-touch keyboard, a high-resolution 4.2-inch display, and an 8-megapixel camera that records 1080p HD video. The Z10 is fully compatible with 4G LTE networks and will be sold by AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless. Verizon will be the only carrier that will sell a white as well as a black version. The Z10 has many cool features. BlackBerry makes a big deal of the BlackBerry Hub, but it is basically a home screen for email and social networking accounts. You can reach the Hub from any app with one swipe to see what's new, then instantly swipe back to what you were doing. The unit's touch screen keyboard even learns how you type and adapts so you can write faster and more accurately. This includes personalized prediction and contextual auto-corrections.BlackBerry Calendar is another feature that understands and adapts to how the smart phone is used. Every time a new appointment or meeting is created, the calendar predicts and suggests who should be invited.The Z10 also features BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) video and screen share so you can catch up face-to-face and share the content on your screen with your friend or co-worker.Taking photos and creating memories is easier with Time Shift, which captures the moments before and after you press the shutter to let you create the best shot, and Story Maker, that helps you create a movie from your stills in a few swipes.It all sounds great, but I side with those who view the Z10 as "too little, too late." Never underestimate BlackBerry loyalists, however. I personally don't see a bright future for the company, but miracles happen.The BlackBerry Z10 smart phone is now selling at AT&T retailers for $199.99 with a two-year agreement. For more information, visit ATT.com.HP ENVY x2 tablet/notebook two-in-one
The HP ENVY x2, billed as "the right device for the right time, every time," supposedly solves the "Do I bring my notebook or tablet?" dilemma, providing the power of a notebook and the freedom of a tablet in one device. Constructed of shiny aluminum with a dockable keyboard equipped with a hinge secured with magnets that smoothly guide the slate into place, the x2 weighs 3.1 pounds. When separated, the tablet portion weighs just 1.5 pounds. The unit has an 11.6-inch diagonal HD touch display that yields ultra-wide viewing angles thanks to a bright, In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel. Beats Audio provides rich sound, and Near Field Communication (NFC) technology lets you share content, including photos, contacts and URLs, with a simple tap. The device is powered by an Intel Atom processor with 2GB of RAM and 64GB solid-state storage. The operating system is 32-bit Windows 8, so it's compatible with standard Windows applications.By now, consumers are used to seeing Windows 8 touch-screen notebooks transform into tablets and vice versa. I really like how the x2 accomplishes this, but the ad with Dan White wowing a child on an airplane is unrealistic. No nine-year-old I know would be that impressed.The HP ENVY x2 lists for $849.99, but I've seen it discounted $100-$200, including on HP's own website. For more information, visit HP.com.

In a sport always looking to push the agenda, the 2012 Sprint Cup goes to a place in need of change.
Kentucky Speedway wanted to host a Sprint Cup race for ten years. After a series of lawsuits and sales, fans in Kentucky and Ohio finally got their wish. But last year's race was a total dud. Traffic prevented thousands from ever getting to the track, and those folks didn't miss much action.
Even though Kentucky is a new track on the Sprint Cup, there are some guiding principles. The 1.5 mile Tri-Oval reminds some of Kansas, where NASCAR has seen growing success. Others say the banking reminds then more of Auto Club Speedway, even though it's a longer track.
Nationwide teams have run at Kentucky for a handful of years now, which some believe will give certain teams (Roush Fenway) an advantage. Plus, Kentucky got quite the workout when testing bans occurred at the Sprint Cup level. So teams aren't going in blind. But they're not going in with 20/20 vision.
Even though this is considered a cookie-cutter track, there has been very little cookie-cutter action this season. Expect literal and figurative fireworks Saturday night.
Now some fun facts to impress your friends with, courtesy of the track's pretty solid website, as TNT provides race coverage Saturday night.
- The frontstretch is 1,662 feet with eight degrees of banking.
- The backstretch is 1,600 feet with four degrees of banking.
- The turns all have fourteen degrees of banking.
- The grandstand seats 107,000 people.
- Last year, every ticket was sold.
- This year, tickete are available. T
- The track is built on 850 acres of land in Sparta, Kentucky.
- They need all 850 acres; there's enough space to park 30,000 cars.
- Let's hope the traffic will allow people to park in those spaces.
- Kyle Busch won the race last year.
- For those wondering, you're not allowed to bring aerosol cans, beach balls, tri pods, knives or handcuffs.

12oz bottle: Thanks Kaggie! This one pours a hazy amber color. There was just a wisp of an off-white head on it, and no lacing. Nice nose on this one. Orange, lemon and pine notes. Maybe a hint of peaches. Nice taste! Fair amount of bitterness, orange, peach and pine notes. Big malt body underneath, but no sweetness coming through. Very Nice!

Pours near amber with an abundant beige head. Obviously hop-forward aroma, but the malt is plenty assertive enough to make a show of it.
Flavor begins with a maltiness that bears a similarity to sultanas, but a spicy hop presence quickly takes over. Hop bitterness is balancing but not unpleasant, nor does it block out any other flavors. Finishes with a slight hop bite. Full bodied.
Overall, a great sipping beer if you can put the glass down.

The beer pours an orange-copper color with a small off-white head.
The aroma is heavy on the papaya, with a little bit of resiny pine, pineapple and bready malt mixed in. A very nice, fresh smelling aroma.
The flavor is also very nice. I get a lot of tropical fruit - mainly apricots and papaya - as well as some resiny pine. There is a touch of bready malt and the bitterness is about medium for the style. There is also a nice bit of alcohol warming. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
Overall, one of the better Divine Reserve beers I have tried. This is right up there with No. 6 as my favorites. I think this one is going to be best drank fresh so I won't be sitting on any of these.

I have been in Texas for 8 months now and this is the first Divine Reserve I've managed to get my hands on. St Arnold beers in general are not bad but nothing so far is overly impressive. This beer is the best I've had from them. This double IPA pours nicely, has a nice amber color and is not just all hops. It has a taste that stays around your mouth so you can fully enjoy it. I hope St Arnold will produce this beer again.

Poured into a tulip glass transparent burnt orange with a very thick head. Great lacing and head retention all the way down the glass.
My weakness is my nose, that being said this must not be a strong scented beer. I'm not getting much of anything other than some hops. The taste is has a strong hop presence as expected with some citrus grapefruit flavors added in there. There's a nice malted sweetness that doesn't quite balance out the bitterness, but it's really not supposed to. It compliments the hops pretty well. I would like more of a "hop bomb", but I have to say that all the flavors are very well put together.
The mouthfeel is medium bodied, well carbonated for an IIPA, and not a terribly noticable alcohol burn.
Over all? It's a nice IIPA. It's slightly better than good, but not great either.
Over All as a Divine Reserve? It's an absolute Air Ball!!! This seems to me to be a DR that they kind of threw together. It's almost like the SA team has spent too much time developing other off the wall stuff, like the Moveable Yeast Series, that they kind of realized that they needed to come up with a new DR and threw something together.
This is a IIPA that Saint Arnold should make a regular or seasonal . . . But this by no means is Divine.

Had a not so nice experience with the cask version of this beer at a tapping night. Since there are so many positives to my negative I thought it only fair to review a bottle.
The appearance is fantastic. Clear straight on through and the color of pumpkin and copper. The tan head is firm yet fluffy and laces the glass as it fades. Coulmns of bubbles slice through and feed what's left of the cap.
The nose is like walking through a hop garden. An earthy pine mixed with that fresh citrus that gets every hop head horny. There is a slight sweet malt in the background but it's dominated by the musty little green cones.
The taste is much better then the cask. A hop bomb that slows down from the nose to not be completely dominated by that hop flavor. It's initially a sweet honey and citrus but is balanced by a malty background. As the finish approaches, flavors move towards a resiny pine and then loads of bittereness.
The mouthfeel is very thin for a double IPA. While the taste is mostly balanced leaning towards the hop the feel of this beer is very one sided. The acidity and light body control this from lips to throat. It's by no means a deal breaker or a drain pour but it is a little harsh on the mouth and distracts from the pleasant flavors. This beer is great in the bottle and delivers in nose and flavor that the cask was desperately missing. The feel of it almost loses me but it is a fine addition to the divine series and worth seeking out.

I have been a long time hater when it comes to Saint Arnolds. They have never done anything that I thought was "bad", just overall unimpressive beers. This is the best thing I have ever had from them, and I really hope its a year round release.
Poured into my dfh snifter, pours a dark amber color, nice pine scent immediately comes out of the bottle. frothy foam fills the top of my glass, then recedes a bit. Nice head retention for about 10 minutes. Decent lacing on the glass. Smell- pine, citrus, grapefruit. Taste- biting hops up front, piney resin, followed by a caramel malt flavor, with a biting hops finish. Mouthfeel- clean, not too syrupy, nice carbonation. Drinkablity- well, St. Arnolds, you finally made a beer I like. Well done.

12oz bottle from a recent BIF, thanks to twiggamortis420
served in a Stone Levitation glass
A - poured gently with almost an inch of tight, creamy very light tan colored foam. the beer is clear as day, copper in color.
S - abundant biscuity malts with some honey sweetness. piney, citrus (grapefruit) hops sneak through. bits of mint, basil, and wet grass as well.
T - bit sweeter than expected, with bready and honey malts coming through well before the hops. ample bitterness though more along the lines of an Imperial English IPA if there was such a thing.
M - medium bodied, moderate crispy carbonation. very nice and a bit on the dry side.
O - not a bad beer, not exactly a mouthy hop bomb but gets the job done more or less.

Nice very hoppy beer, well balanced. Pours golden with a small amount of lace. Neutral aroma. Good balance,the hops are right there and more of a 1.5 ipa. Average mouthfeel,carbonation is right there. Good drinkability. Columbus, Simcoe and Centennial are well mixed for mild citrus taste. Alcohol well hidden.Very slight acid builds up. Bottle in trade.

Small head with amber color. Looks good. Smells good too. Aroma is hops all the way. Pine and citrus come out. Tastes like it smells with the addition of some caramel malts and a hint of tropical fruits. Mouthfeel is great, pine flavor sits on my palate. Overall a great beer and I wish they would make this year round.

The last time I went to my usual place I wasn't even thinking about Saint Arnold's Divine Reserve No. 11. I'd read on BeerAdvocate enough how difficult finding the beer is so in my mind I was already content with not finding it. Then, to my shock, my name was called by the manager - yes, the manager knows my name! - and he told me sweet words. He told me that he had some Divine Reserve No. 11! I immediately told him that I wanted some. Now it's time to see what all of the hype is about.
Out of the bottle the Divine Reserve No. 11 poured a clear bronze, like the bronze bell on my bass trombone, and formed a two finger tall foamy-bubbly off-white head that leaves a bit of lacing after taking sips from it.
Call me crazy, or don't because this description is accurate, but the beer has an aroma of the pine forests of southeast Texas. The hops are very earthy floral, and add a sort of lemon-citrus zest. Fruits that show up are mango and pineapple. Sweet caramel malts show up and it's a little boozy too.
I love the hops in Divine Reserve No. 11. They are prevelant throughout the tasting: First with bitterness and later with the lemon-citrus zest. The pine tree sweetness that I love in some pale ales comes out and balances the beer out along with the caramel sweetness and breadiness of malt. The fruit flavors of mango and pineapple are strong but lovely. It's definitely a very hoppy beer, one for hopheads to love, but it's not overly bitter.
No. 11 has a medium body with medium-light carbonaton and is a bit sticky at the end. Although this is a very hoppy beer it is definitely one of the more drinkable double IPAs you'll have, even with a higher ABV and doesn't sacrifice flavor for drinkability. I wish it didn't cost so much but it's definitely one of the better brewed Texas beers. Yum!

Many, many thanks to dcloeren for the bottles! Much appreciated, Dereck!
The 11th installment of Divine Reserve is a crystal clear copper color. Backlighting gives it a slight orange tint. A soft, vanilla colored head tops it. It rises to roughly a finger before falling back. Lacing was very thick and sticky.
The nose is pretty good. It definitely has a sweet, sugary scent. Caramel malts are readily apparent and are responsible for the sweet side. Hops are easily noted. They're mostly piney and citric. Grapefruit and orange are the strongest fruit scents. It's tough to tell how the flavor will pan out, but it smells fairly well balanced. Alcohol is a little noticeable, but doesn't seem overly strong.
The flavor is very similar to the nose. Perhaps a notch better. It starts out with caramel and toffee flavors. They're sweet and provide a sturdy backbone. Hop flavors of pine, grapefruit, and orange emerge. They're definitely tasty, but seemed to be restrained by the heavy malt presence. There's a hint of bitterness, but it doesn't last long. For what it's worth, it is very balanced. Not my favorite quality in this style, but the flavor is good. Alcohol is masked very well. Finishes sweet with a bit of citric and piney hop flavors.
It has a medium body that's definitely smooth. Given the malt presence, that's no big surprise. Carbonation is dialed back nicely. For a beer of its size, it's definitely easy drinking.
Divine Reserve #11 is definitely a nice addition to the series. It's not spectacular. A little less malt and more hops would've moved been better. I just prefer a little less balance when it comes to DIPAs. There's no question though…this is good beer. If you have the opportunity, you should definitely jump on it. Thanks again, Dereck!

12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. Thanks to optimator13 for this one. It should have been a want and he chose his extras wisely :)
Appearance - Light, clear copper body with an ample white head. It leaves some sticky lacing on top for a while, but that eventually fades too.
Smell - Hoppy, some citrus and pine. A caramel maltiness comes through also. There's a fair bit of booze in the aroma, too.
Taste - Not as hoppy as the smell, but still a great hop flavor of citrus and pine again. The sweetness from the malt is a bit much, but doesn't overwhelm the hops. Barely any bitterness to the finish. The malts become a bit nutty as it warms.
Mouthfeel - Pretty light considering all the flavors. Medium-low carbonation. There's an ample amount of booze to the finish which I find a bit undesirable.
Overall - Good DIPA. It's a bit hot and a bit sweet, but it has a great hop profile. I'd gladly drink this again.

Received as part of a trade. Thanks adam320!
Poured into my Captain Lawrence glass.
Appearance: Pours a deep goldish orange with a one and a half finger off white head. Lots of active carbonation bubbles. Head is creamy and sticks around for a while.
Smell: Big hop aroma off the bat! Fruity citrusy hops.
Taste: Follows the nose with those big fruity citrusy hops. Nice malt backbone it balances it out without stepping on the feet of the hops. The bitterness is there but its really not too bitter.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied. Carbonation seems to play a minimal role. Slightly sub par for the style but certainly not bad.
Overall: So glad I got the chance to try it. Will miss the 6 pack when it is gone.

A- Pours a golden orange color with some reddish hues to it. One finger white head shows medium retention. Nice sheets of lace on the sides of the glass when drinking.
S- Citrus hops in the front of the aroma make this beer start off good. There is a underlying caramel malt sweetness throughout the aroma but shows more so toward the middle. Piney hops in the ending lend to balancing this one out aroma wise. Alcohol has a little medicinal quality to it.
T- Citrus hops in the front of the beer show off a lot of tropical flavors. This doesn't go into crushing mode with the hops which was nice. The middle of the beer showed off a caramel bready malt base which counterbalanced the hops nicely. The ending of the beer still showed a little caramel malt but now there was a added piney bitterness that helped elminate the overall sweetness. The alcohol had a little medicinal quality to it but didn't go overboard.
M- Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation is good for the style. Citrus and piney hops are left on the palate. Aftertaste is medicinal alcohol, light caramel malts, and piney hops. The flavors were really balanced I thought for the style. No off flavors were present while drinking this beer. Medium alcohol drying on the palate with each sip.
O- This beer was very good. The ABV was lighter on the DIPA side. I thought the flavors were on par with everything for the style. A nice beer in the Divine Reserve series. I would tell everyone to get this while you can cause it is drinking good.

Poured into a Duvel tulip.
A - A deep amber orange with a two finger head. Head slowly dissapates into a solid film throughout. Nice lacing
S - Initial smell is great, with notes of pine/peach/citrus. The only dissapointment was that the smell faded fairly fast.
T - Very nice balance between the spicy, bitter hops and the malt sweetness. This is a winner.
M - Slightly sticky with just right carbonation.
Overall, a very nice DIPA from Texas' oldest craft brewer. I truly wish they would add this to their regular lineup ( at a lower price!) I would then be a regular SA customer. Well done!

Fire crews responded to a house fire in the 10500 block of Twin Oaks Drive, also called County Road 212.
One man was inside at the time of the fire. He had been smoking outside and placed his cigarette butts in a can covered with a towel. The butts ignited the towel and the flames spread to the porch and then to the home. The man woke up from a nap to find the front side of the home on fire.
No one was injured in the blaze, but the home was a total loss.

Picked up a 4 pack of this at The Nova of Hudson. Love that place! Poured out of a bottle into a Stone pint glass.
A - 1/4 inch of head after pour and receded to next to nothing after about 5 minutes. Very golden/orange in color, what i would expect from an IPA. Filtered clear appearance with very minor lacing as the beer goes down the glass.
S - Pick up some minor hop smell. Mostly pick up scents of sweetness, some fruitiness in there as well. Had no idea of the ABV on this one but could definitely smell it, so i was assuming it was 10 percent or higher. Temp of the beer when opened was cellar, probably 55-60 degrees.
T - Big sweetness up front turns into sharp bitterness in the middle and a dry finish spewing big alcohol. This one is a soul and body warmer. =)
M - Medium bodied with very light carbonation levels.
O - Really enjoyed this beer, i think it will get better with some aging. The alcohol finish on this is pretty prevalent as well as the bitterness and may mellow out a bit with some aging. Other than that, i think it's a really good barley wine from New Glarus.

Thanks to Mike for cracking this one; I always look forward to something I haven't had from New Glarus. This one has a shockingly light hue for a barley wine; deep golden yellow with a substantial haze throughout. The "head" fades insanely quick and settles as a stark-white ring around the top of the beer as it just sits, still and motionless.
The nose contains quite a bit of hops, especially considering the style. Florals, grassy hops, perfume, light citrus, tart lemon zest, and some herbs are spread out across a light blanket of some sticky caramel and toasted, bready malt.
The hop character seems to be a bit heavier than the malts, and the malts don't seem as dark or sweet as you think they'd be, considering the style. It almost reminds me of a super strong double IPA that's been sitting for a while and the hops have toned down to "not quite DIPA" levels.
Again, the first sip isn't screaming "barley wine", as the beer is actually quite hoppy. I've had hoppy barley wines, sure, but this one just doesn't seem to fit the style. Herbs, leaves, peppery, grassy, and full of underlying citrus; sweet and even mildly tart. Would be a pretty good hop bill for a D/IPA.
After a bit of some time, I finally start getting some barley wine essence; the malts open up and grow with warmth; sticky caramel, toffee, and quite a bit of sweet toast. There's also some apple-y sweetness in the finish that closes things out quite nicely, along with a subtle boozy warmth. The body is heavy and sticky like a barley wine should be, with minimal carbonation.
A little perplexing, that's for sure. Not quite the barley wine I was expecting, but it was still a pretty tasty brew. It took a while for me to come around to it, but in the end it was pretty good. Barley wine? Extra-malty DIPA? What's the difference, really? Far from New Glarus's best offering, but still worth a try.

12oz brown bottle with no freshness date.
LOOK: Brilliant robust golden color, two fingers of thick head
SMELL: Marmalade, green peppercorn, faint leather, passion fruit, rose water, alcohol, light caramel, crackers
TASTE: Incredibly smooth, creamy, full body, dry biscuits, yeast, ripe exotic fruit, pulling hop bitterness, leafy, mint, hop resin, citric rind, peppery, floral, big alcohol, lingering clean graininess in the boozy semi-bittersweet finish.
Bit of a booze bomb, a sipping brew all the way. I can understand the brewers intention but it just does not hit me the right way fully. Fun to drink? Sure, just make sure you sip it or share a bottle ... that might be better.

2.95/5 rDev -24.2%
A - Almost a burnt orange, pencil thin white head- dissipates very quickly but sticking to the rim, light carbonation rising
S - Aged fruit - pineapple, cherry, apple, orange, very hoppy, and booze
T - Ripe pineapple, carmel, orange, apple. finish: hoppy booze
M - Moderate frothiness, good coverage around the mouth. acidity pricks the tongue. low viscosity.
O - Most different color ive seen in a barley wine. Missing the toffee malt backbone. Certainly a sipper at 12 abv. Very hop centered- no doubt its American. But the ripe pineapple isn't pleasant- far too sweet. Get no taste of the 'Toasty Graham cracker'. I am pretty disappointed in NG with this. Three more will certainly sit in the cellar. We'll check back in a few years. Hopefully this pineapple/booze can simmer down a bit.

Thanks to Wendall for this one!
A: Pours a clear orange color with a small white head on top. Not much retention reducing to an extremly thin cap on top. Thin, but sticky lacing forms on most of the glass.
S: Extremely hoppy, but not like Bigfoot. Lots of pine and citrus - plenty of rind. Very faint alcohol tinge.
T: Not as hoppy as the aroma, but still plenty of citrus with some malty sweetness backing it up. A little bit of bready malt as it warms.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Drinks very easy and smooth.
O: Very different compared to most barleywines I have had, and I quite like this one. Doesn't come off all heavy and malty, but a bit lighter with lots of hops coming through.

An American strong ale. Big bubbly head on clear orange body. Lacey.Lots of orange aroma, and orange taste. Honeyish, caramel. Leaning on the bitter side with a hop bitter and dry finish. Lots of flavour, a dangerously drinkable beer, and a good high alcohol beer for a cold night.

This is the Unplugged Barleywine. NOT the Unplugged Iced Barleywine. 12oz. bottle poured into a Cigar City snifter. Shared with schen9303.
Pours a 1 finger fine white head with moderate retention. Beer is clear orange copper. Lacing is stringy and thick with little stick. Solid, especially given the style.
Nose is caramel, molasses, tree sap, citrus, and cane sugar. Nice and crisp but at the same time, lacking that certain robustness.
Opens sweet citrus, mango, and papaya. Tree sap and cane sugar in the middle. Pineapple. Caramel and sap hoppiness at the end. Finishes sweet caramel. Toffee in the aftertaste. Solid.
Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Bubbly and prickly in the mouth. The same going down. Messy finish with a lingering aftertaste. A bit thin.
A nice offering from New Glarus but overall, this one lacks the body and robustness required for the style. Not sure of the aging potential of this one. Still though, fresh, its a decent beer and worth trying.

12oz single from my madison "connect"
appearance: served in an oversized snifter, bright glowing orange-amber body, thick white cream but only light lacing
smell: very hop-forward, grassy citrus, honey, booze
taste: pretty deviant from the style - huge honey notes, grassy and herbal, stinging citrus hops, pretty large alcohol bite, low residual sweetness. I dont know - not crazy about this
mouthfeel: oily, creamy medium body
overall: well crafted, but not crazy about the direction

Pours out a slightly dark orange in color with a tiny white head with little retention.
Smell is muted and hard to get much. I smell a little caremal and thats about it - just a tiny bit of sweetness. Taste is nice but nothing really not sticks out. There's definately some caremal sweetness, a tad bit of booze but really is hardly noticable (even at 12 ABV). I definately would drink this again but it really isn't anything I would seek out. Just nothing really great. Sure it's good but nothing better than average.
FWIW everybody seemed to rate this high and find charactoristics that I just couldn't. I do always seem to have signs of allergys so maybe that's affecting my review but I seem to always have that stuffy nose and can pick things out in most other beers.

poured into a pint glass
appearance: pours a golden brown, translucent, with a 1" foamy white head. honestly, it looks like an octoberfest/marzen type of beer, if this was blind id be very surprised to find out this is a barley wine
aroma: i cant believe it, this is a barley wine, and i smell oranges. dont know how they pulled that one off. also a sweet background to it, nothing sticks out tho
palate: medium body, a little tangy/stingy on the tongue, sits well in the mouth tho, fairly smooth
taste: a great balance to this beer. i get the hops and citrus, but very toned down for each. everything about this looks and feels like an ipa, and then the graham cracker flavor hits you with some malty flavors that reminds you this is something special. well done NG!
overall: a very tasty and unique brew from wisconsin's best brewery! very happy they decided to release this one this year, hurry up and get it while it lasts!

Hazy orange body with a thin off white head. The orange is pretty vibrant and looks more like a west coast style ipa than anything else.
The smell is toasty, grainy, hints of bubble gum, pine, and apricot.
I hate using descriptions from the bottle for reviews, but it says toasted graham crackers and I'll go with that. The bubble gum shows up in the flavor and then becomes very grainy. It seems to be all over the place. The finish is like crushed aspirin.
Mouthfeel has prickly carbonation with a boozy burn.
This one is actually kind of a mess and misses the style for sure. It goes in so many strange directions that just don't mesh.

This Wednesday (January 15, 2014) Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweights Lorenz Larkin and Brad Tavares will go to war in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 35 from The Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Georgia.
No. 13-ranked Larkin recently notched his first UFC win, beating Chris Camozzi at UFC Fight Night 31: "Fight for Troops 3" last November. Larkin had previously dropped his Octagon debut to No. 8-ranked Francis Carmont at UFC on Fox 7, the only official loss of his mixed martial arts (MMA) career.
Tavares has quietly racked up four straight decision wins. Part of the reason he isn't getting much publicity is his lack of finishes; another part is the mid-level competition he's been facing. With only one loss on Tavares' record, Larkin should provide a nice step up in competition for him.
Both fighters are known for their impressive striking, so this bout could erupt into a war. Let's take a look at the keys to victory for Larkin and Tavares:
Lorenz Larkin
Record: 14-1(1) overall, 1-1 UFC
Key Wins: Robbie Lawler (Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Kennedy), Chris Camozzi (UFC Fight Night 31), Gian Villante (Strikeforce Challengers: Fodor vs. Terry)
Key Losses: Francis Carmont (UFC on Fox 7)
Brad Tavares
Record: 11-1 overall, 6-1 UFC
Key Wins: Robert McDaniel (UFC Fight Night 27), Tom Watson (UFC on Fuel TV), Phil Baroni (UFC 125)
Key Losses: Aaron Simpson (UFC 132)
Former Strikeforce contender Larkin is respected for his lethal blend of Kung Fu, kickboxing, and boxing that has translated into eight knockouts throughout his career. He'll have a tough time knocking out Tavares, whose only loss came by decision. That won't stop Larkin from trying, however. He's extremely well versed on his feet and can outlast quality fighters, evident by his decision win over current UFC welterweight title challenger Lawler.
On the other hand, Larkin rarely looks to go to the ground and has never submitted an opponent. That could present a great opportunity for Tavares, who is proficient if not spectacular on the mat. It won't be easy to control former light heavyweight Larkin on the ground, but it will be a better strategy than choosing to stand and trade with him. Tavares has been largely able to use his own standup skills to outpoint his last four opponents, but Larkin is simply a different animal. Tavares needs to stay on his toes and look to transition his strikes into some takedowns if he wants to win.
Larkin could receive a nice boost up the rankings if he can effectively derail Tavares' momentum. But, it's still unclear if Larkin can consistently defeat the well-rounded fighters in UFC. There's no doubt his knockout ability is some of the best, but pure strikers rarely last long in the Octagon. By defeating Larkin, Tavares can score the biggest win of his solid career and catapult himself into some long overdue recognition.
With middleweight suddenly becoming one of the most stacked divisions in UFC, the stakes will be high for both fighters in Georgia. Can Larkin prove he deserves a big name fight, or will Tavares win five in a row?

Browns-Steelers matchup of the day: Tuesday
Can one of the Browns' top players rebound from an uncharacteristically poor performance?
The Cleveland Browns have placed linebacker James-Michael Johnson and defensive back T.J. Ward on injured reserve with knee injuries.||||||| Both Johnson, a rookie, and Ward were starters for a defense that allows 22.1 points per game. Ward had 68 tackles and one interception.
Ward has appealed a $25,000 fine for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Sunday at Dallas, and said the NFL's rules on vicious hits need to be changed.||||||| Ward received a letter from the league on Wednesday informing him of the penalty for hitting Cowboys wide receiver Kevin Ogletree. Ward said replays conclusively show he did not touch any part of Ogletree's head. Ward said Ogletree was falling as he delivered his hit, which made it appear worse than it was. It's the second time Ward has been fined for a blow to the head.
The Browns have placed safety T.J. Ward on injured reserve with a sprained right foot.||||||| Ward started eight games before getting hurt on Nov. 6 against Houston. The team had been hopeful he would be able to return, but Ward's foot never got well enough for him to be activated. The hard-hitting Ward, a second-round draft picks last season, made 38 tackles and forced one fumble. Browns coach Pat Shurmur was pleased with Ward's development and said he "was playing at a high level" prior to his injury. Shurmur said Ward will not need surgery "at this point."
Ward is not practicing again and will likely miss Sunday's game against St. Louis.||||||| Ward sustained an unspecified foot injury last week in Houston and was placed in a cast. He has not been seen at the team's training facility all week. Usama Young will likely fill in for Ward. Young was practicing with the first-team defense on Friday after sitting out the past two days with a hip injury.
Ward's right foot remains immobilized inside a cast, leaving Cleveland's secondary with a very noticeable limp.||||||| Ward missed his second day of practice Thursday with the injury he sustained last week in Houston, and coach Pat Shurmur said there's a "very good chance" the hard-hitting safety will not play Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. "I don't want to rule him out yet," Shurmur said.

Shout out to PASCO
Original post made by JSD on Sep 18, 2007
I'd like to just take a moment to give a shout out to the PASCO workers I see every Tuesday morning collecting the garbage and recycling in our neighborhood. Without exception, the workers I have encountered are friendly, cheerful, helpful, and extremely hard working. Bravo!
Comments (5)

I grew up in a city where the garbage collectors were city employees. My biggest surprise when I moved here was seeing the collectors running about their business. They do a good job.
on Sep 18, 2007 at 12:38 pm
I agree PASCO does a very efficient job. However, they should, because their monthly trash collection rates are huge and keep increasing.
on Sep 18, 2007 at 4:00 pm
Sometimes I forget to put the trash container curbside. Those gents, always, without fail come up to the house and get it. They are getting a big tip for the holidays. Yay PASCO!
on Sep 19, 2007 at 2:28 pm
We have lived in two different states and at least six different cities.
The rates are comparable for trash and electric.
The added benefit of having top of the line recycling available is a bonus and is well worth the incremental added cost (if any).
Many cities and states simply do not have the facilities to handle this high level of recycling like we do, but they charge nearly the rate for basic trash services.
Thanks PASCO!
on Sep 20, 2007 at 12:13 am
PASCO is cool! I am constantly amazed at the efficiency of this group. They do their job every week, without fanfare. every organization should run as efficiently as PASCO does.
Further, the recycling collecters are amazing to watch in their efficiency.
Last, I like what "qq" said about tipping those guys. There is another thread about tipping in this forum; "qq" is one person who gets it.
I will be joining qq in tipping the PASCO guys this year.
You're AMAZING, guys - keep it up!

Twelve indictments have been handed down by a federal grand jury on May 19.
According to Captain Randall McGowan of the Weakley County Sheriff's Department, the indictments are part of an ongoing investigation conducted by the drug enforcement agency and investigators from the Weakley County Sheriff's Department.
Captain McGowan said the investigation began late in 2013. The charges include conspiracy to manufacture and distribute meth. They carry a sentence of up to 20 years. If a previously convicted of a felony drug crime, the sentence increases to up to 30 years. There is no parole in the federal prison system.
Those charged include:
In addition, Captain McGowan said 27-year-old Brandy Oliver of McKenzie has ran from the area and is considered a fugitive of justice. He is described as a white male.

For the main the staff in the dining rooms were helpful and courteous although (as with life generally) a few bad attitudes let down the good guys. The bad and ugly has to be the self service restaurant on the top deck. No smiles or offers of help here, tables taking an age to clear and getting a drink to accompany your meal a real achievement.
Lack of adhering to dress codes was a disappointment as was the calibre of younger passengers sporting tattoos and less than desirable language.
The entertainment was a mixed bag of very good and not so good. Tom O'Connor was excellent and for the main the vocalists were too. Having said that we did make an early departure from some of the shows and 'passed their best'vocalists.
The Beach Hut could have had a better booking system giving all passengers a chance to experience food of a more interesting, imaginative nature than the main dining halls. We found The White Room food enjoyable but not comparable to the fine dining we expected. The East Asian restaurant wasn't worth a £15 supplement albeit enjoyable. The curry lunches would have been improved with a varied menu.
Full marks for the delivery of our luggage from Gatwick to our cabin, like wise from the Ventura to Gatwick.
Small points that would have been appreciated, a replacement flower in cabins, an arrival welcome drink. Having said that the Christmas gifts of a pashmina and silver guff links were much appreciated by my husband and self.
I can fully appreciate cost effectiveness is all important in making P/O cruises being competitive on their cruise prices especially in these hard times. BUT..., when paying approximately £280 a day (minus spending money) standards could have been better in the main dining halls and the entertainment.

The Orange Leader
The Bengal Guards held their annual reunion at the Sunset Country Club, 2900 W Sunset Drive in Orange on Friday.
Alexine Adams said the group used to send out over 200 invitations. This year there were 13 members present for the reunion.
"The numbers are dwindling," Adams said. "The Bengal Guards was from 1936-1945 and that was over 60 years ago."
H.J. Lutcher Stark started the group during the Depression to give the girls in town something as the Lutcher Stark Boys Band was already formed.
"It was the Depression, and there was nothing to do and so many out of work," Adams said.
Stark furnished everything for the girls.
Shirley Webb Hudson, Bengal Guard from 1941-1942, said it was a wonderful experience for a bunch of country girls.
"Stark chartered a train for us to go to Chicago. I recall him going through the train making sure each girl had some spending money," Hudson said. "My parents scrapped some money together for me. Mr. Stark gave money to the girls that had none. I always that it was the sweetest thing."
All these years later, the ladies will say the lessons learned during the years as a Bengal Guard made them who they are today. Each one attending the union agreed it was the experience of a lifetime for them.
Dorothy Linscomb Meadows said being a Guard helped the ladies stay active in church and community even today.
"We are not stay-at-homes," Meadows said. "It is because of what was instilled in us as members of the group then."
Adams said she discovered a mission statement for the group while working on a pictorial history of the original Guards.
The pictorial history will be part of the new displays available at the Heritage House when it reopens.
"I never knew the mission statement," Adams said. "But the statement was instilled in us, not told."
Ruby Bohme Parks was one of the first groups of recruits for the group in 1937-1940 and the oldest Guard in attendance at the reunion.
"Being a Guard taught us to strive for perfection," Parks said.
The youngest member in attendance was Helen McDonald Reese who was a mascot for the group at age 6.
The ladies agreed the Bengal Guards gave them a chance to travel to places they otherwise would not have gone if it were not for Stark and the Guards.
According to the web site bengalguards.com, the Bengal Guards was formed in 1935 by H.J Lutcher Stark; the group made its first public appearance at the football game between Orange High School and Jasper High School on Oct. 5, 1936. The Guards had several other noteworthy performances over the years, including a visit by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt in 1936, the dedication of the Rainbow Bridge in 1938, the 1940 Sugar Bowl and the Chicagoland Music Festival; the group was also featured in LIFE magazine in October 1940.
