4.28/5 rDev +4.6%
Poured from the corked 750 ml bottle into a beveled English style pint glass. This is the 'newer' vintage without the sumo wrestler on the bottle. It has been in my cellar, but it's not so old. 2008?
Appearance- The beer pours spritzy looking, orange and lightly hazy, loads of carbonation on the sides, but nearly no carbonation in the head. A mere finger of foam on the sides that doesn't stick around at all. Lacing is there, but not all that substantial.
Smell- Smells like Fantome! Sweet light German malts and that funky Fantome yeast that I love so well. An almost buttery sweetness, much like cream of wheat flavored with sugar or honey. A very unique smell for a very unique beer, the butter is not a diacetyl smell.
Taste- A sprite soda carbonation flavor and tangy funk rip apart the entire mouth making for a sour evening that I can't complain about. May be a bad idea for pre-steak dining, but I don't regret it. There's another flavor that I can't quite put my finger on that is somewhat reminiscent of wild onion greens, but for some reason that seems completely wrong. Perhaps I'll pinpoint what it was later and far too late for the review.
Mouthfeel- This has one of the most excellent tart spritzy mouthfeels on any beer I've ever had. I'll drink this again just to regain the mouth feeling that I'm getting from this fine brew, along with the fact that it has a lot of German and Belgian aspects combined with almost a Czech pilsner sweetness. Highly carbonated, medium light bodied.
Drinkability- Another great plus to this beer is that it doesn't taste a thing like 8%. It would be great for summer sipping on the porch with friends, which is what I will do with the other older bottle, and perhaps another new bottle if I can muster it.

With no other Belgian brewery currently doing what farmhouse brewers have been doing for centuries, the ebs and flows of Fantome earns them as much frustration as it does grace. But once in a while, magic happens and that does so with Pissenlit.
Pouring a darker amber shade than is common, its richer reds and browns elude to the toasted character within. With the nose hovering above, whiffs of bread crust and cotton candy seduce the senses while earthen wafts of peppercorn, straw and hay float above.
Its sultry taste is estery of grape candy, plum and apple before the middle palate sets in with its earthy and peppery balance. With the soft malt presence drying out, the slightness of rose wine acidity, cumin, clove and cork all offer an herbal, woodsy and leathery quality to give the taste mature complexity, balance and grace.
Its dry and peppery finish easily sheds any lingering finish and offers a refreshing, bubbly and warming feel with an aftertaste of dried fruit and damp straw. More complex than words allow, Fantome demonstrates why they are the premiere farmhouse ale makers!

A: Hazy orange with a medium-sized off-white head. Some lacings.
S: The aroma is really strange and hard to pinpoint. Malts reminiscent of wheat crackers, a lot of odd spices, some herbal notes. Notes of lemon and yeast.
T: The taste is better than the smell, but still very strange. Somewhat sweet and mildly tart flavors. Notes of malts, odd spices, fresh herbal notes, grass and earthy yeast. Perhaps something in the line of dandelions, but I might be reading to much into this. The finish is mildly bitter and somewhat spicy with notes of malts. Thankfully this one developed nicely in the glass. At first, it was quite bad, but it got better and after a while I actually enjoyed it quite a bit.
M: Medium body with somewhat lively carbonation.
D: A strange beer. Decent at best. Very interesting, but flavor-wise it's not very impressive.

Wonderful, glowing orange with a thin layer of off-white head.
Mouthwatering, crisp, lemony nose with barnyard notes.
With a soft mouthfeel, light lactic acidity and several malty, flowery layers, there is more to this than most saisons.
It had nice head retention throughout, without much lacing. As it warms the flowery notes come out to play with the acidity. Finishes slightly dry.
Pissenlit won't be for everybody, but it does have an audience and you can sign me up.

Printemps 2004. Finally sitting down to another Fantome..this one brewed with dandelions of all things. Cork escapes with a nice pop...pours from the bottle a dark murky orange amber with a two finger head of billowy foam. Fast moving carbonation races up and allows the head to linger indefinetely. Aromas start with beautiful lemony grains, wildflower notes and light fruits (green apple, pear) abound with a well placed underlying earthy funkiness. Hints of cooked veggies with plenty of yeasty tones. Slight woody tannins. Immensely complex and unique..it's hard to describe with the written word the array of scents contained within my glass. Beautiful, funky, lovely....this is the aroma I live for in a truly artisnal saison. Thank you Dany!
First sip brings an elegant light fruity maltiness with notes of lemon, green apple and pear intertwined. Hints of cooked veggies and flowers weave in and out. I have no idea what dandelions taste like..but they must be contributing the vegetal floral hints here! Earthy, yeasty, woody funkiness works its magic and adds a slightly sour/tart twang to each subsequent sip. Slightly sweet with a wonderful aftertaste. I find this to be a magnificent saison. Much like the regular Fantome saison except with a more earthy, floral twist. Just another reason I love experimental brewing.
Mouthfeel is rather light with a vibrant carbonation. Slightly dry and exceptionally refreshing. Flavors hit every taste bud on the way down. I wish it was not so hard for me to find this brew or really any Fantome in general. I have yet to be disappointed. This is an all day drinkable saison even at 8%. If you enjoy true, artisnal saisons...seek this one out as you will not be dissapointed. A uniquely different triumph!

Presentation: 750 ml green magnum with a vintage date of 2003 on the front label.
Appearance: Sunrise reddish orange in a haze with a thin white lacing on top.
Smell: At first thought Lemon Pledge. Then grassy, musty, earthy and more lemony notes come along.
Taste & Mouth Feel: Uncommonly musty and earthy with a good dry malt backing and lemony tartness. Semi-crisp and slick on the tongue. Yeasty with a crazy tart nutty flavor. Finishes with a quick pucker and more yeast.
Drinkability & Notes: Certainly one of the more interesting saisons I have tried, I ended up braising a pork roast with some of this most excellent.

750 ml bottle, capped and corked, dispenses a hazy, golden body with a small offwhite head that quickly falls into a cap. Some sheet lacing on the chalice.
Aroma is earthy, with a distinct fresh lemon slice note. Grassy hops, and a hint of coriander and white pepper.
Mouthfeel has a light medium body with a subdued carbonation.
Taste is dry, but not overly so. Lemon tartness, grassy hops, a dirty earthiness, a hint of white pepper, and a dandylion herbal quality. Finishes dry and herbal.
A solid Belgian saison, but not the world beater I usually find in a Fantome offering. I could still sip this one all day if not for the stiff price tag.

Bottle provided by blutt59 and tasted at thirdeye11's birthday tasting.
Pours a cloudy straw yellow with a minimal white head. Strong saison smell with some light funkiness and some citrus. The taste has a little funk and quite a bit of citrus, mainly lemon. Great drinkability and very refreshing. Very dry finish.

Bottle (2011)
Thanks for opening this with me, BdubleEdubleRUN!
(Aged for 1 year)
Hazy golden and light orange with a small off-white head.
Pleasant aroma of white fruits (apple and pear), along with some floral notes, peach, and mild yeast.
The flavor is sweeter and less funky than many other Fantomes I've had, with the white fruits and floral notes leading the way, low bitterness, and only a touch of yeast funk.
Medium bodied with low carbonation.
Very nice, but not one of my favorite Fantomes, but only because I love, love, love most all of them.

Appears a clouded golden hazed body with a bright white head forming thick above the rim of the chalice. Fine even lacing intricate appearance, fine effervescent carbonation these Belgians know how to execute. Aroma earthy herbal, pissenlit can be interpeted as Dandelion or "wet the bed" either way drinking enough of this I get the connection. Spicy yeast, a touch of mellow alcohol hidden in the biscuit pilsner malt, slight skunk nose from the green bottle but inoffensive for the most part. Flavors refreshing, spicy yeast, crisp malt sweetness with dry herbal/earthy/floral hop additions excellent saison. Funky lactic acidity works well with a hint of citrus, floral notes really bursting with barnyard, meadows, fresh cut grass. Mouthfeel is crips effervescent carbonation medium to light bodied, easy to drink with a nice tartness. Overall drinkability was incredible, a great version of Fantome that holds up with the best of any Saisons I've ever come across.

Bottle purchased at Green's on Ponce in Atlanta.
Pours an opaque yellow-orange color with a half-finger off-whtie head. The head dissipates quickly into a thin ring around the glass leaving light lacing.
Smells of earthy fruit - pears and green apples - with a good amount of sweet funk.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Moderate amounts of malt flavors serve as a background for fruit flavors that are both tart and sweet with underlying herbal hop flavors. The ending is more on the tart side than anything.
Mouthfeel is good. It has a slick mouthfeel with light carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I finished the bottle rather easily and could have another.
Overall I was a bit surprised by the light carbonation but it ended up working really well with the flavors. Worth a shot.

Had a sample that a patron gave me at the Soulard iTap. Tried almost back to back with the Fantome Saison...
750 bottle, I forgot to check the vintage...
Murky, golden ale in a glass, much like the Saison. Smells like orange juice, with a more assertive tartness than the saison. Dont get me wrong though, there is of course the big barnyard, horse blanket funk running around, but this time with an aggressive spiciness. Something very earthy in there too. On the palate, the spice is still present with the earthiness, but the tartness overshadows all on this one. Very little alcohol presence, nice moderate mouthfeel and an OK drinkability factor. Most may find this a little too tart, I enjoy it, but could continue to sip on a whole 750 by myself. Good, solid stuff though...

A- The dense hazy dark orange body has a billowing sheet of microbubbles that swirl around and support a thick white foam that sits on the glass in sheets.
S- The dandelion flowers aroma mixes with green spice hops that blend with a peppery yeast ester note. There are club soda notes and some cheese rind brett hints in the finish. Aroma well blended.
T- The bright tartness fades to soft malt with yeasty saison peppery notes and a dry finish with some soft sulfur dandelion green notes that linger in the back of the throat. The slight sweetness of Pils malt comes through as the beer opens up.
M- The light mouthfeel has a slightly creamy but crisp finish with no alcohol heat.
O- I was surprised at how the taste and smell of dandelion flowers really came through with the support of the fantome yeast. There are some Noble hops and pils malt qualities offer nice depth.

Sampled on the 4th of July with my family. This 750 ml bottle did not have the label on it so I could not tell the year. The beer poured a hazy amber color with a thick white trademark Fantome head. Yummy. The aroma was a bit funky, earthy based on the yeast character of this brew and there was a bit of dried fruit notes as well. The taste is a bit tart and slighty sweet with some definite flavor of earthiness (grass and probably the dandelion flower that it was brewed with). The body is light to medium and made for a perfect summertime saison.

Muddy apricot bronze with a modest bleached tan foam.
Nose is plump with caramel breads, cilantro, farm, lime juice, and a noticeable, reedy dandelion bitterness.
Enters with grainy bread notion, with tickles of spiciness that suggest rye. Later, it solidifies into a sweeter, moister notion of sourdough and caramel. Light almond skin nuttiness, followed with a wash of lingering lemon juice tartness. Earthier and funkier from here on out. Quavering mineral astringency, dirty linens, mushrooms, and coriander. Rides out with a weedy floral hue that can only be associated with the dandelions.
Medium bodied, but with its gentle, steady carbonation, this is nearly as solid a quencher as it is an experience.
Hats off to Fantome, once again. Likewise to Bighuge, for coming through with this weed.

Good saison, 2004 bottled. Grassy aroma in there. Well carbonated and tasty spices and citrus. The use of dandelions was in the cartoon, but I didn't take it seriously. I am in fact allergic to it in the spring season. I guess its good I had it in late winter. The bomber takes a long lunch to get through but doable without ill effects. Alcohol was disguised by fizziness, but proved to be a knockout. This is a robust beer as all the fantomes.

Poured from a 750mL capped-and-corked bottle into my Troubadour tulip.
Gamboge and orange peel liquid, very hazy with faint amber highlights. A very thin whispy white collar forms slowly despite a vigorous pour and barely sticks around. Average lacing, mild viscous legs. [edit: a subsequent pour generated a more substantive and lastin head along with a merengue-like lacing - odd!]
Lovely candied citrus aromatics with hints of kumquat, bubble gum, wheat, and earthy wild yeast.
Tart and funky palate entry, lush fruit-juice like flavors intermingle with a touch of aspirin, roquefort, and fermenting hay. The flavor profile is rather subtle overall, but all its own. I'm looking for dandelion but don't get any peppery taste (like from the greens), or anything particularly floral, nor anything especially sweet (like a dandelion wine). Hops don't play an obvious role either. The finish reminds me something of a sauvignon blanc - acidic, mineral-laden, with hints of citrus - with the addition of more rustic (horse-manure?) notes.
Light bodied, and somewhat flat, though perhaps that is just this bottle? The alcohol is well integrated, and not at all hot.
Crisp, refreshing, and not particularly weird - this is a bright tart saison that should appeal to those who already enjoy Fantôme's more readily available offerings....

A short head of frothy white foam resides over a hazy orange body. Its very fine, natural carbonation helps it to maintain a creamy collar and lacy surface covering throughout the glass; and it leaves some minimal short-lived lace with each sip. The nose is floral, grassy and somewhat citrusy with a touch of "barnyard"; and it exhibits some fruit and a touch of sweetness as well. It's bright, interesting, and invigorating with a bit of complexity. The body is medium/light with a delicate, natural carbonation from bottle conditioning that gently caresses the palate before fading smoothly away. The flavor offers an incredible balance between lightly sweet malt and gently tart yeastiness on either side of a distinctly grassy, herbal, and floral character. It finishes dry, and a touch powdery, with a short lingering fruity-sweetish-tart malt note and some low-key herbal and delicately spicy-grassy hops. It's a really interesting beer that appears at first to be more than it is; reveals it's true self upon tasting; and then displays more complexity than it alludes to while still remaining very straightforward. It's quite drinkable, and most enticing. An impressive beer that should be on the "must have" list of any Belgian beer fan.

A- Pours a somewhat dark orangish amber color with a thin off-white head that quickly turns into a thin lace around the glass.
S- The aroma is simply fantastic. It is sour, musty, earthy and floral. Very saison/farmhouse like.
T- The taste starts out tart with some citrus and some earthy/musty notes as well. There is also a nice dry malt backbone. Well done!
M- The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with a low amount of carbonation.
D- Overall, another fantastic brew from this great brewery. A must try if you can get your hands on it.

Rather than age it, I just wanted to drink it.
Poured into an oversized wine glass.
It's a very cloudy orangy amber. A thin layer of head sits on top to provide very good lacing.
Very earthy smelling along with a hint of citrus. Dryness also present in the aroma. Also a slight hint of brett. A few floral notes too.
Very tangy and tart. Bitter fruit is pretty present, but also provides a little sweetness. Very dry, much like a white wine.
The sour dryness lingers on my tongue and is quite pleasant. Acidic, but not harsh.
Very easy to drink, but also nice to share with others. Very well done

In October 1998 a twenty-one-year-old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. His bloody, bruised and battered body was not discovered until the next day, and he died several days later in an area hospital. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moisés Kaufman and Tectonic Theater members have constructed a deeply moving theatrical experience based on numerous interviews and their own experiences. The Laramie Project is a breathtaking theatrical collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.

Patient experience includes everything that happens from the moment a person walks into a health care provider's office until the end of the appointment. It also includes all phone calls or other contact a person has with the office before or after appointments.
Care you should expect to receive - The best quality care happens when health care providers (including doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, and office staff) work as partners with patients, family members, and caregivers. These partnerships mean that:
Minnesota and patient experience - MN HealthScores calculates and reports averages in four categories that reflect patient experience statewide. We calculate these averages by using the most positive survey responses for each of four categories. The most positive averages are important because they allow a clinic to measure their performance against all other participating clinics. They also show how well Minnesota providers have performed in providing a positive experience for their patients.
Most positive averages by category of all reporting clinics (based on September 1, 2012 to November 30, 2012 data)
Who provides care? Many people receive health care from professionals other than doctors. Examples include nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), and other clinical staff. We often use the terms "health care provider" or "provider" on MN HealthScores because our reports include information from a variety of health care professionals in addition to doctors.
How will this data help me? By asking patients about their experiences, we can learn how well health care providers in Minnesota and neighboring states partner with patients. We know that strong, positive partnerships are an important part of quality care. Patients who have good experiences with their health care providers are more likely to come back for tests, take medications as prescribed, and better manage their care.
Because quality health care matters a lot to both patients and health care providers, MN HealthScores developed a collection of resources called Better Care. Visit the Better Care section for helpful tools, videos, information and advice.
The charts and percentages below will tell you how successful Minnesota health care providers are in achieving positive feedback from patients after an office visit. Our patient experience report shares ratings in four categories that show different aspects of patient experience.
The list of clinic results is ordered from highest to lowest, using the average of individual clinic scores for each category. Categories with not enough data are not used to calculate the individual clinic score average.
How to find results - You can quickly search for clinics in this patient experience section by clinic name, location (ZIP code, city or county), and by specialty area. We also have patient experience data for hospitals in a different section of MN HealthScores.
You can change the number of clinics listed in your search results by combining any or all of the search options. Using more search options will create a shorter list of clinics, while using fewer search categories will return a larger list. We encourage you to explore the results you get by using different combinations of search categories.
What's a "specialty" area? Many of the clinics listed in the patient experience section specialize in one area of care, such as family medicine or dermatology. Now you can easily search patient experience reports for single specialties. If your clinic has departments that offer care in more than one specialty area or you don't see your clinic listed under a specialty area, try leaving the specialty category blank, or searching by clinic name or geography.
How to understand the ratings for each category - Each clinic can display up to four scores, based on the four patient experience categories. Within each category, a clinic will have an individual score and a rating that compares the clinic to the most positive average of all clinics. If a clinic had too few survey responses to publicly report in a category, the result will say "not enough data".
In all categories, the individual clinic score is the percent of patients who answered the questions with the most positive response possible. "Most positive" is a way to describe the highest response where the answers may include: "Always" or "Definitely yes" or a top rating of 9 or 10 out of 10 possible points.
A clinic's performance is compared to a most positive average of all the clinics that report in a category. The most positive average is shown as a black line inside the box. Clinics are also rated as being either significantly above average (shown as green shading), or average or significantly below average for all responses (shown as yellow shading). The amount of color in a box is a way to compare a clinic's performance with the most positive average for all reporting clinics.
High numbers can be a sign of high patient satisfaction. Your clinic may have received a higher or lower rating depending on how many patients reported a good experience during a visit. Differences in percentages between clinics in the same category don't always reflect the experience you might have as a patient. One suggestion is for you to talk with your provider if you have questions or concerns.
About Our Report - This report is based on patient responses to the Clinician and Group Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CG-CAHPS®) Visit 2.0 survey. The survey asks patients about aspects of their health care experiences that are closely linked to quality.
The CG-CAHPS® Visit 2.0 survey was mailed to a random sample of adult patients ages 18 and over who visited their provider between September 1, 2012 and November 30, 2012. There may be several reasons why a clinic is not listed in our report. Some common examples are that the clinic did not qualify based on having too few patients during that time or receiving too few survey responses to report the data reliably.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Day two of testimony in the murder trial of Christopher Harris, prosecutors traced a path through the Beason home where the five family members were brutally killed.
Late Thursday afternoon a judge had to threaten a witness with jail time if she did not answer a question, revealing Ruth and Rick Gee's sexual relationships with other couples.
It's another turn in a trial becoming filled with sex, violence and drugs.
Much of the testimony came from former Illinois State Police crime scene investigator Michael Oyer, who spent around 3 hours on the stand. Oyer said Dillen Constant had head injuries and several bruises on his hands. All of the other four victims had similar injuries including head wounds.
One juror covered his eyes when photos of 16-year-old Justina Constant were shown, because of their graphic nature.
Earlier in the day, Lincoln Fire Protection District Chad Letterle choked up on the stand when he described entering Tabitha Gee's bedroom and finding the 3-year-old still breathing.
He said "I picked her up and carried her back out, she survived."
Thursday afternoon we heard from two friends of Rick and Ruth Gee. One of the friends said she was chatting online with Ruth Gee the night of the attack. She said the two talked for three hours before Ruth stopped answering at 12:42 a.m.
On cross examination, the witness was resistant to talk about the Gee's sexual relationships. She agreed to do so only after the judge threatened to hold her in contempt of court.
Testimony continues Friday. The case is expected to last through the end of the month.

There are two ways to work with another person's Microsoft Outlook folders — folder sharing and Delegate Access.
Note A Microsoft Exchange Server account is required.
Folder sharing enables another person to access one of your folders, perhaps while you are on vacation. However, it does not include permissions for one to act on behalf of the other. For example, a person who can access your folders cannot reply to email messages or respond to meeting requests for you.
Delegate Access is an Outlook feature that allows one person to act on behalf of another Outlook user. The most common scenario in which this feature is used is a manager and his or her assistant. The assistant might be responsible for maintaining the manager's schedule, including creating and responding to meeting requests. Some assistants might also monitor a manager's Inbox.
This article assumes that the manager has already given Delegate Access to the delegate.
If you frequently work with someone else's Exchange folders, you probably will want to add the other person's Exchange mailbox to your Outlook profile. Doing so will automatically open the other person's mailbox every time that you open Outlook. The other mailbox appears in the Navigation Pane underneath your Exchange mailbox folders.
Note The person who is sharing a mailbox must grant you Folder Visible permission on the root folder of the Exchange mailbox. The shared mailbox usually appears as Mailbox - user name.
Instructions for granting Folder Visible permission
As the manager, do the following in Outlook:
The shared mailbox usually appears as Mailbox - user name.
As the delegate, do the following in Outlook:
Top of Page
Tip To avoid this step in the future, see the instructions on how to add another person's mailbox to the Navigation Pane in the Add another person's mailbox to your profile section of this article.
To give the delegate sufficient permissions to accept meeting requests for the manager, the manager must do the following:
Keyboard shortcut To create an email message, press Ctrl+Shift+M.
To select the name from a list in the Address Book, click From.
If you do not see the From button and box, on the Options tab of the message, in the Show Fields group, click From.
Keyboard shortcut To reply to an email message, press Ctrl+R.
When email messages and meeting requests are sent by a delegate on behalf of a manager, a copy of each item is saved in the delegate's Sent Items folder. This behavior is by design.
As an alternative, the manager can grant permissions to his or her Sent Items folder to the delegate. The delegate can then move or copy the items from his or her own Sent Items folder to the manager's Sent Items folder.
Note To see another person's folders in the Navigation Pane, see Add another person's mailbox to your profile.
The manager should do the following:
The manager's Sent Items folder appears in the delegate's Navigation Pane under Mailbox - manager.

My Sabbatical from July 1 through December 31, 2007 at Cardiff University School of Dental Medicine, Wales, UK, was the highlight of my academic career. The basis for the sabbatical was continuation of the oral-systemic link with emphasis on DGGE (Density Gradient Gel Electrophoresis), a nonculturable technique, and further elucidation of the co-contribution of oral flora and systematic flora in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) from extubated endotrachs (ETT) in a 25 patient study. It was supported in part by Covidien. Results were initially highlighted in three abstracts presented at IADR (International Association for Dental Research) and in two subsequent manuscripts being finalized now. The titles of the three abstracts were:

An effort to help the families of the Newtown, Conn. shooting victims started with a simple meal delivery to grieving parents and has grown to include donations from around the world.
Community members including Debra Accomando of MySandyHookFamilyFund.com are responding to the immediate needs of the family members.
From funeral clothing to an order of 500 candles for a vigil ceremony, Accomando says volunteers are answering the call.
The grassroots organization is also hoping to raise $100K for each family of the 26 victims.
"We're the members of the community who are going to be here for the long haul. We are a ground force. We are handling as many immediate needs as we can, Accomando told Good Day New York on Friday.

In a stunning turn of events, the Baltimore Orioles made a deft move that is equal parts nostalgia and strategy. Just when you thought the Orioles' fast start was a fluke, they pull the rug out from under you. Britt Ghiroli:
The #Orioles have agreed to terms w. Miguel Tejada. He will report to Sarasota on Mon for a physical.
Tejada is exactly one month and one day older than Derek Jeter, who is hitting .404/.441/.587 for the season. But here's the catch: Tejada has 60 more home runs in his career when compared to Jeter. So it's pretty much a given that he's the more valuable player now.
The Orioles have some guy named J.J. Hardy at short, which sounds pretty made up, so Tejada's path to a starting job is pretty open. Tejada last played for the San Francisco Giants last year, where he lead the league in UZR and OPS*.

Keeley got blasted with snow from the plow train while reporting live
from the side of the road at a peach orchard in Woodstown around 6:30
This is the 15th snowstorm Keeley has reported on this winter. Clearly he is a pro at it now. He didn't even miss a beat!
Later, in the 7 a.m. hour, the veteran reporter reflected on the
incident, saying he was 20 feet from the road and that shows how far
plows can throw snow when traveling at high speeds.
Keeley also had some fun with the incident, telling "Good Day
Philadelphia's" Mike Jerrick, "You know I've spent my whole time here,
ever since the invention of YouTube, I have done everything I could to
avoid being a YouTube star, and I think that hit will be on YouTube."
He joked that a reporter from another TV station in town was driving the plow.
Actually, someone claiming to be the real driver of the plow called
our newsroom later Monday morning saying he was sorry and didn't see
Keeley also sprinkled in some humor and local history as he filed his
reports from the following spots in addition to Woodstown on Monday
morning: Elmer, Logan Township, Millville, Monroeville and Mullica Hill.
The tour was reminiscent of a Jan. 29 snowstorm, when Keeley did live reports from seven different communities.

Does your bathroom need a quick pick-me-up? Check out these great ideas. They'll transform your bathroom from blah to brilliant in short order.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine:July/August 2013
Nothing changes a room's look more drastically than a new floor. Luxury vinyl plank flooring has a great impact-to-ease-of-installation ratio.
Installing a floating vinyl wood plank floor is as close to "instant" as flooring gets. Luxury vinyl plank flooring (LVP) works extremely well in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms.
Lumber Liquidators' Tranquility Easy Click vinyl wood plank flooring (Rio Rosewood is
pictured) is a floating floor that goes down easily and looks amazingly authentic. It can be installed with or without underlayment. It's affordable, easy to clean, moisture resistant and durable. And it looks gorgeous.
There are many other LVP varieties available in the Tranquility series, including African Mahogany, Antique Oak and Golden Teak. Prices range from $1.50 to $4 per sq. ft. Visit lumberliquidators.com for more information. This article will show you how to install luxury vinyl flooring.
Just make sure it doesn't interfere with the towel rack.
For some reason, once the towel bar goes up, we don't consider the wall usable for anything else. Why not hang a shelf for toiletries and decorative items? Just make sure to mount the shelf high enough so it allows easy access to your towels.
Lutron's Maestro occupancy sensor switch automatically turns lights on when you enter and off when you leave.
Swap the showerhead, handle and tub spout and make your shower seem like new.
Give your shower an instant face-lift by swapping out your existing showerhead, handle and tub spout for new ones. To make this a painless switch, buy a trim kit that uses the existing trim valve—you won't have to touch anything inside the wall.
Before you buy, check the manufacturer's Web site for specs, styles and finishes. Also check your tub spout to see if it slips on or is threaded so you can buy the right replacement. You can buy complete trim kits or buy each component separately at home centers, plumbing suppliers and online retailers.
And don't stop with the second cabinet—add shelves in between for even more storage space.
Here's a way to add more storage and bump up the sophistication of your bathroom. Mount matching medicine cabinets and add shelves between them. To support these shelves, we drilled holes in the sides of the cabinets and inserted adjustable shelf pegs. The shelves are simply boards finished to match the cabinets. This makes the most of the wall space above your toilet and sink. You could also mount something similar over a double sink setup. The cabinets can be surface mounted or recessed. The shelves give the unit a nice finished quality. Medicine cabinets start at under $100 each.
It not only uses unused space, it makes the whole room seem bigger.
The wall behind the bathroom door goes unused because the door will hit anything that protrudes. Hang a mirror there. You'll still be able to use the back of the door to hang robes and towels. The mirror will instantly make the bathroom feel larger. And it's nice to be able to check whether your shirt is tucked in before you head out into the world. Full-length mirrors cost as little as $30 at home centers.
Is your shower shelf full of soap crud? Do you even have a shelf in your shower? Either way, this'll class up the joint.
Apply a strip of double-face adhesive mounting tape on each flange, stopping 1 in. short of the outside ends. Then lay a thick bead of silicone caulk around the entire perimeter.
Remove the tape liner and press the shelf into place. (Position the shelf carefully—once the tape sticks, you can't move it easily.) Wipe off the excess caulk and tool the joint with a damp rag or fingertip.
Toss that grungy plastic storage shelf you have hanging over your showerhead and install a classy ceramic corner shelf instead. These are available at tile shops. Make sure you get a "flat-back" shelf and clean all the soap scum off the tile so the bond will hold well. Tape around the area where the shelf will go (place the shelf in the middle of a tile so grout lines won't run through the caulk). Scuff the tile with 80-grit sandpaper. This gives the silicone caulk some- thing to adhere to other than the slick tile.
It looks great, and it makes your shower seem bigger.
This is a twofer. A curved shower curtain rod is an affordable luxury that makes you feel a lot less claustrophobic taking a shower. Having just that extra few inches of space means you don't constantly brush against the shower curtain every time you raise your arm.
And a double curved shower curtain is just plain clever. You can hang towels on the outer rod, which buys you drying space and puts your towel right where you need it. Or you can hang your liner and your curtain on separate rods. You may need an extra-long liner since the curve pulls the hem of the shower liner higher in the tub. You can find a variety of double rods, both curved and straight, in different finishes at online retailers, bath shops and department stores.
Talk about your cheap thrills. Spend 10 bucks on a polyester shower curtain liner (sometimes called a "hotel" liner) instead of a plastic one and you'll never go back. Unlike plastic, it dries very quickly, so you'll have less mold and mildew. It lasts longer, it's machine washable, it's soft against your skin and it doesn't have a funky plastic smell. What's not to like? The liners are $10 to $30 at online retailers, bath shops and department stores.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

This hi-definition broadcast in an encore performance will be shown in the Riley Center for the Arts at Burr and Burton Academy in Manchester. Tickets are available for purchase online at bbatickets.com or at the door.
"Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley was published in 1818, since which time there have been nearly 100 adaptations both on screen and in the theatre. Playwright Nick Dear and director Danny Boyle first discussed collaborating on Frankenstein in the 1990s but it wasn't until 2004 that they revisited the project. They brought their vision to life in the National Theatre's 2011 production.
Originally broadcast by National Theatre Live in March 2011, it has become a global phenomenon, resulting in three encore screenings in more than 25 countries and being seen by nearly a quarter of a million people.
Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch star in the production as Victor Frankenstein and his creature. Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein's bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.
Green Mountain Academy and Burr and Burton Academy have partnered to bring the stunning National Theatre Live productions to Manchester. National Theatre Live is produced in partnership with Aviva and distributed internationally (ex-UK) by New York-based BY Experience.
For more information, call Green Mountain Academy at 802-867-0111.

Many customers receive messages from Sabre as standard XML based on the Open Travel Alliance (OTA) standard. Others still connect over the same private links they used in the past, including teletype, X.25 connections, and an old UN/EDIFACT (United Nations Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce, and Transport) standard. This mix of new technologies and legacy systems has proved challenging in many ways.
"We sent our TPF and assembly language programmers to C++ school because we thought that object-oriented methodologies wouldn't be difficult for people so experienced in the application," Richmond says. "The result is that we made some of the common errors that novice object-oriented programmers make and did some other stupid things. Now, we've had to go back over it all and do a better job."
Richmond says Sabre also learned over time that someone has to have an end-to-end view of transactions in order to ensure that infrastructure and application developers will work together to troubleshoot customer problems. Still, many challenges still lie ahead in Sabre's ongoing SOA efforts.
"We have substantial transactions through our Web services gateway," Richmond says. "Do we push all the way off TPF or continue investing in TPF for the parts that run effectively there? What we do with SOA is very much tied to that decision. We also have a lot of mom-and-pop travel agencies that are not necessarily interested in Web services and airlines with international locations [that are] still using 386 systems over 2400-baud lines. Our strategic vision is there, but the rate at which we get there is in flux based on these business realities."

Biden Backs Off of 'Not Second-Guessing One-Child' Comment Made in China, No Thanks to Establishment Press
Earlier this evening, Vice President Joe Biden, through a spokesperson, backed away from his Sunday comment at a Chinese university about that nation's "one-child" policy, wherein the state allows couples, with relatively rare exceptions, to have only one child. This of course has led to a horrible abortion death toll. A Laura Ingraham email I received this evening, corroborated by a China's population minister cited by CNN in 2008, carries an estimate of 400 million deaths (CNN said it "prevented 400 million children from being born"). It has also led to what is probably an historically unprecedented male-female gender imbalance in the neighborhood of 43-60 million.
Biden's comment (transcript; video) was:
You have no safety net. Your policy has been one which I fully understand -- I'm not second-guessing -- of one child per family. The result being that you're in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable.
Biden's backoff in the wake of intense Republican, conservative, prolife and Chinese dissident criticism is in an AFP report carried at ChannelNewsAsia.com, is far from satisfactory, and contains (in bold) what can only be considered a spectacular fib in the circumstances. To its credit, AFP also found a prominent Chinese activist for a mainland perspective on the impact of Biden's Sunday remark:
Under fire, Biden blasts 'repugnant' China policies
Under fire from angry Republicans, US Vice President Joe Biden's office said Tuesday that he firmly opposes "repugnant" Chinese population control practices like "forced abortion and sterilization."
"The Obama administration strongly opposes all aspects of China's coercive birth limitation policies, including forced abortion and sterilization," Biden spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff told AFP by email.
"The vice president believes such practices are repugnant," she said after Republican White House candidates blasted Biden for recent comments he made about Beijing's "one-child" population control policy during a visit to China.
Biden told an audience at Sichuan University in Chengdu, China, Sunday that "your policy has been one which I fully understand -- I'm not second-guessing -- of one child per family."
... Barkoff pointed out that Biden, who was discussing the ratio of active workers to retirees, had also called the policy "unsustainable" and said "he was arguing against the One Child Policy to a Chinese audience."
... The vice president's statement also drew fire from a leader of the repressed Tiananmen Square protests, Chai Ling, who has become a born-again Christian and activist against the "one-child" policy.
"At best, it is a statement of ambiguity that gives permission to China to continue its brutal and coercive birth planning policy," said a statement from her advocacy group, All Girls Allowed.
"At worst, it is an endorsement of the exorbitant fines, severe beatings, and forced abortions and sterilizations that are performed on thousands of Chinese families every day -- an ongoing Tiananmen massacre every hour," she said.
While it's nice that AFP is reporting Biden's (pathetic) attempt to backtrack, it's likely that what he said would never have been news in the pre-New Media World:
- The Associated Press's original coverage of Biden's university appearance (saved here at host for future reference, fair use and discussion purposes) made no reference to his "one-child" comment. As of 10:30 this evening, based on the results of its main site on "Biden China" (not in quotes) the AP still has nothing on what Biden said, or even the groundswell of reaction to it.
- A New York Times search on "Biden China" (again not in quotes), as well as a reading of the paper's reports (here, here, and here) on Biden's trip, surfaced nothing relating to his original one-child remarks. The first identified item is from Reuters, indicating that it is very likely that it also ignored Biden's comment in its other reporting.
- One of the Times's items just noted has an inadvertently humorous title: "China and U.S. Choose Safe Site for Biden Visit." Guys, there is no safe place to let Joe Biden speak.
As I see it, thirty years ago, and probably even twenty, a remark similar to Biden's would have gone virtually unnoticed. Folks like Bill Buckley, Cal Thomas, and James Kilpatrick might have detected it and written a column or two about and might have even brought it up on CNN, but no one at the White House would have felt it necessary for the Vice President attempt to backtrack.
At least on a remark as outrageous as Biden's latest, that can't happen any more, even though it's clear that the AP, New York Times, and others tried to keep it bottled up. Oh, how they must despise the entire situation. Too bad, so sad.

One child, but many abortions.
Submitted by big.league.slider on Wed, 08/24/2011 - 12:28am.
The most insidious aspect of the PRC's "one-child" policy is the massive number of aborted female fetuses. Both in China and India, a female fetus only has about a 1-in-4 chance of surviving. Between China and India, that's over 10 million aborted females each year.
Crazy Uncle Joe is just another condescending "Catholic" hypocrite/women's rights advocate. It's pathetic witnessing how quickly Biden is willing to sell out his "religion" and his country, when his Chinese bookies bark.
Compare the actions of Biden, John Kerry, or the Kennedy's to Sarah Palin when it comes to dealing with a family member/child with disabilities. Biden thinks it's OK to abort the fetus, Kerry thinks it's OK to dump the pregnant wife in an institution, and the Kennedy's think it's OK to give the kid sister a lobotomy and hide her in an asylum.
On the other hand, Gov. Palin thinks it's her responsibility to give her disabled child unconditional love and compassion, for as long as the child needs it, rather than a death sentence.

It's typical liberal cowardice to refuse to be "judgmental" about morality. What's "right" for one isn't necessarily right for another, you know.
Barkoff pointed out that Biden, who was discussing the ratio of active workers to retirees, had also called the policy "unsustainable" and said "he was arguing against the One Child Policy to a Chinese audience."
Nice try. Also a liberal tactic, to try to have it both ways: "not second-guessing" while "arguing against."
Blessed Mother Theresa had the courage to speak against US abortion policy in front of the Clintons, and she would have had no problem laying into the Chinese in this situation too.
Biden's a wuss.

Biden is a coward. He is also an attention seeking whore who will say whatever he believes his audience wants to hear. I doubt Biden has many principles he would not flip on if it meant benefit to him. These easily manipulated qualities, and some others, made Biden a perfect VP for Obama. (one of the other qualities is Biden is dumber than Obama and therefore makes Obama appear smarter)
Side note -- My spell check does not recognize "Biden" and "Obama" as correctly spelled words. Even spell check recognizes something wrong about those two.

Biden revealed an unspoken progressive math game
Submitted by Galvanic on Wed, 08/24/2011 - 8:45am.
He didn't criticize the PRC's One Child Policy on the grounds that it was state-driven oppression resulting in gender-cide. He argued it from the numbers game: you need more people working to pay into the social safety net than you have people taking from it. It's an amoral math problem. They understand that population must continue to grow to make the ponzi scheme work. This is why after encouraging abortion practice in the US, they now need to to legitimize the illegal aliens: Washington needs their payroll taxes to keep the programs viable. And when those new ponzi players start drawing on the system, Washington will look for another source of new players.
Libertarians understand the math, but they know the ponzi scheme must collapse at some point, and we are rapidly arriving at that point. Instead of looking for new players in the ponzi scheme, we want to reform the systems themselves to what we can afford; it may involved scrapping them for something else.

Submitted by stratman on Wed, 08/24/2011 - 2:56pm.
I just looked at Bidens votes on the On The Issues website. Biden voted YES on banning partial birth abortion in 1999. When push comes to shove, Biden states he is personally against abortion but he is OK with abortion however the woman chooses. In other words, Biden is a post turtle.
More of Biden on the issue of abortion:
* Constitution does offer an inherent right to privacy. (Oct 2008)
* Roe v. Wade is as close to a consensus as we can get. (Oct 2008)
* Allow women to choose, but no federal funding. (Jul 2007)
* No public funding for abortion; it imposes a view. (Apr 2007)
* Supports partial-birth abortion ban, but not undoing Roe. (Apr 2007)
* Accepts Catholic church view that life begins at conception. (Apr 2007)
* Nominees should agree on constitutional right to privacy. (Apr 2007)
* Voted NO on defining unborn child as eligible for SCHIP. (Mar 2008)
* Voted NO on prohibiting minors crossing state lines for abortion. (Mar 2008)
* Voted YES on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines. (Apr 2007)
* Voted NO on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions. (Jul 2006)
* Voted YES on $100M to reduce teen pregnancy by education & contraceptives. (Mar 2005)
* Voted NO on criminal penalty for harming unborn fetus during other crime. (Mar 2004)
* Voted NO on maintaining ban on Military Base Abortions. (Jun 2000)
* Voted YES on banning partial birth abortions. (Oct 1999)
* Voted NO on banning human cloning. (Feb 1998)
* Rated 36% by NARAL, indicating a mixed voting record on abortion. (Dec 2003)
* Expand embryonic stem cell research. (Jun 2004)
* Rated 0% by the NRLC, indicating a pro-choice stance. (Dec 2006)
* Ensure access to and funding for contraception. (Feb 2007)

Croc vert - LOVE!!!
Since I was in elementary school, I have experienced podiatry issues. I was involved in a motor vehicle accident 07/26/13 and was advised my all my physicians to seek out good supportive shoes. In my year of search, I tried Dr. Scholls (which have styles too old for my age), orthaheels (terrible quality, did not last) and reverted back to other styles that hurt my feet. I researched crocs prior to purchase and noticed via the web crocs offered more of a variety of styles than before. I then decided to seek out a store to try on some styles because at this point I have nothing to lose. My experience at the store was great. I wish the store carried every style and color so one could easily access, purchase and leave with great quality in hand. However, I fell in love with the sexi flip. I am a size 9.5 wide and usually wear size 10. In this particular shoe, I wear a 9 as it does run a tad bigger. If you want a loose fit, go the size up. I, on the other hand, wanted them to fit without being floppy so the store ordered the size 9 for me. If you are conservative and feel like stepping out of your black and brown comfort zone, try the ocean blue. It is a fabulous color that I have worn with black, red, blues and pink! Thank you, Crocs, for designing such a great shoe. I am eternally grateful. Some future color ideas: mint, white, navy or denim blue, or red. Red would be great for winter season because here in Florida, our winter is a cooler summer. Whatever you decide, PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOE and DO NOT DISCONTINUE!!!

LOVE these shoes!
This is the first review I have ever written on ANY product but these are the most comfortable, durable, "wear with anything" shoes I have ever owned. These are those pair of shoes that you say to yourself when they finally wear out..."I wish I had purchased another pair".
Best summer buys
I bought a pair while on one of the island cruise stops and fell in love. Since my "sister in love" admired them so I ordered her a pair when I returned stateside but the colors and sizes were limited by then. She loves hers too. They are extrememly comfortable and I do a lot of walking. If they are offered again next Spring/Summer I will be stocking up in every color. My 83 yr old mother loves her leopard ones and is very grateful that they were made in her favorite animal print.
