PHOENIX (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to clear the way for an Arizona death row inmate to be executed Wednesday for killing a man more than 30 years ago during a robbery.
The court denied the state's request to lift a lower-court's order that blocked the execution.
The move by the nation's highest court postpones the execution of 70-year-old Edward Schad, who was convicted of murdering 74-year-old Lorimer "Leroy" Grove of Bisbee in 1978.
Authorities say Schad strangled Grove, drove across the country in Grove's car and used the victim's credit cards.
Schad's execution would mark Arizona's 34th since 1992.

Tucson Police arrested an Oro Valley man accused of sexual exploitation of a minor.
TPD's Internet Crimes Against Children Unit received a tip in December that child pornography was downloaded and shared from an Oro Valley home, according to Tucson Police.
Detectives and U.S. Marshals served a search warrant on Jan. 23 at a home in the 8200 block of N. Northern Avenue, where they found evidence to link 31-year-old Jesus Miguel Navarro Tovar as a suspect.
Authorities booked Tovar into the Pima County Jail on 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
TPD urges parents to monitor their kids' online connections for safety purposes.

1. How will the Canucks do without John Tortorella behind the bench?
John Tortorella begins serving his 15-day suspension on Tuesday night when the Canucks host the Edmonton Oilers. How will his team do in his absence? The Canucks have been slumping recently, with just one regulation win in their past 10 games and only two wins overall. They're coming off a shootout win over the Calgary Flames on Saturday, the game that resulted in Tortorella's suspension for trying to barge into Calgary's locker room following the first period.
2. Will Alex Ovechkin play for Washington?
The NHL's leading goal-scorer is a game-time decision for the Capitals when they play the Ottawa Senators. Will Ovechkin be in the lineup, and if so, what sort of impact will he make?
3. Will there be any carryover from Jamie Benn's hit on Matt Cooke?
Dallas and Minnesota just played on Saturday, and in that game Stars forward Jamie Benn delivered a questionable hit on Matt Cooke. The NHL did not see any reason to suspend Benn for the hit. Will that be the end of the incident, or will anything happen in Tuesday's game between the two teams?
4. Will Cam Talbot allow more than two goals?
Henrik Lundqvist is under the weather and will not be in the lineup for the New York Rangers on Tuesday. That means Cam Talbot gets another start, and he has been outstanding for the blue shirts this season. In his 15 appearances, he has allowed more than two goals just two times. Will he hold the New York Islanders to two goals or less?
5. Will the Columbus Blue Jackets extend their winning streak to seven games?
The Blue Jackets currently own the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference, and have a chance to extend their current winning streak to seven games when they host the Los Angeles Kings. Will the streak keep going?

This cd is an absolute classic and a must have addition to any thrashers collection!
Believer Biography - Believer Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Beginning their third decade of existence, Helloween are back to conquer the Power Metal world with simply one of the best releases in their career – the spellbinding Keeper Of The Seven Keys – The Legacy! Having repeatedly reinvented themselves stylistically, without ever losing their trademark sound, is no easy feat. The musicians, Andi Deris (vocals), Michael Weikath (guitar), Markus Großkopf (bass), Sascha Gerstner (guitar) and new addition Dani Löble (drums, ex-Rawhead Rexx), see this latest recording in direct context with their 1987 and 1988 classics, consciously and confidently increasing the expectations of their fans of an doubtlessly unusual studio offering. Beware – The Legacy!

This is another fine tech thrash album by a great group of guys who are also believers as well! They mix the message of Christ with great lyrics that make ya think and interesting song structures. Very Recommended!!!
i'm really not sure what to say.Believer actually speaks for themselves. a true band of their own kind. the downside of the whole deal is the sound or production or sumthin.it might take a little while(as for me) to get used to,seriously,let it play out a few times(crank it in your car or headphones)you'll get the jist of it.the dudes voice kinda lingers in the brain so you can either like it or (as for me) let it become part of the music. simple as that, like it or not.

I drank a bottle of this yesterday to celebrate the record-breaking snowstorm we got here. Many thanks to my friend AK for buying me a couple of these last year.
The pour is black with brown highlights. A dense cappuccino-colored head with excellent retention is noted, and some attractive lacework is present.
The nose is great, a combination of chocolate, molasses, a little fruity oxidation. Rich with a moderate bitterness with coffee and roasted malt character, there is also a delicate sweetness with caramel, brown sugar and vanilla. A little alcohol is noticeable as this warms up, this beer is wonderfully balanced and surprisingly delicate.
The palate opens creamy with dark chocolate bitterness with a little coffee before a brown sugar sweetness and cocoa flavor take over. Delicate vanilla sweetness along with some caramel flavor. While there are a lot of sweet flavors in this beer, it never gets syrupy or cloying. Medium in body, the moderate carbonation assists the long lasting finish that's mildly bitter (roasted malt and chocolate) and a little oxidation and alcohol. The delicacy sets this beer apart, I had no problems sipping this over the course of a couple of hours. Great stuff, this!
**Edit 17 Jan 2013**
Drinking another bottle - it's been three years since Snowmageddon, when I last drank a bottle.
The nose is still solid, surprisingly so for the age. Cocoa, mild caramel, toast, a little bit of brown sugar, a surprising floral fruitiness, milk duds, and a little stale malt. Alcohol is shockingly well-hidden. The palate opens with a blend of roast and milk chocolate syrup. While sweet, it isn't cloying, thanks in part to a relatively light body (thinned by age, if my earlier notes are accurate). The chocolate notes are just extremely delicious, though more stout-like than a porter. Age has also lent a mild vinous note, fruity and Zin-like. Roast character is mild here. The finish is decadent - chocolate, caramel, a mild char - so good! A touch warming on the finish, pleasantly so. This was better early in its life, but is still very, very good.

Pours dark brown with a frothy tan head. Dark chocolate, caramel, and powdered cocoa in the aroma. Bitter chocolate and roasted malt up front that mellows into a sweeter caramel-an-coffee flavor. The Goldings appear throughout, as does a surprisingly pleasant saltiness. Finish is alcohol warmth. Very nice.

Bottle at Beachwood BBQ in Seal Beach, CA.
Pours a dark brown color with a one-finger dark tan head. The head recedes into a patchy layer on top leaving thick lacing.
Smells of lightly roasted malts and roasted chocolate with hints of toffee. As the beer warms the chocolate asserts itself more.
Tastes very good. Roasted malt flavors kick things off and manage to integrate nicely with creamy dark chocolate flavors. Midway through the sip a hint of toffee comes in before a dark chocolate bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is very nice. It has a thickness that's above average for a porter and mild carbonation.
Drinkability is great. The flavors all work so well together and I could drink this all day.
Overall this is a great beer and one that's worth trying. Judging from other reviews the hops have certainly faded but in my opinion it takes nothing away from this beer. Worth a shot.

Thanks to SuzyGreenberg for sending this one in my direction.
Pours a deep dark color with deep ruby highlights. A big light tan head that retains very well and leaves good lacing.
Nose is somewhat weak, but there. Roasted malt and some chocolate with a slightly tart smell of almost cherry. Some slight woody vanilla as well.
Taste is actually quite english in nature. Toffee, chocolate, slight coffee, some vanilla. Big roasted malt character and a nice slight bitter kick on the finish. This is a rich porter for sure. A slight metallic flavor hinders things a bit, but all around the robustness of this porter is solid. Almost an old ale peatiness peaks out a tiny bit as this one gets warm. The aftertaste lingers as well. This one is really lacking some body though. I think some barrel aging would have worked miracles on this beer.
Mouthfeel is the weakpoint here. The mouthfeel is thinner than I would like, and a bit chalky on the finish. It is dryer than a porter should be. The mouthfeel is not horrible, it just makes this beer seem worse than it is.
Drinkability is strong here. for 10% this one drinks way too easily. The dryness is akward on the finish, but aside from that, the drinkability is fine.
Overall this is a very nice porter. I think with some minor adjustments this one could be legendary. Up that body a bit and throw this thing in some bourbon barrels and you would have a real treat. Another good one from Alesmith.

A wonderful imperial porter, almost completely finished. When I revived hours later, I had good memories of the opaque black body, the coffee aroma, the full mouthfeel. Taste has coffee, not too much fortunately enough, chocolate malt, complex and aged, bitterness comes in end and seemlessly integrated. Dangerously drinkable. Found at Grapes of Myrth in August 2008, and aged the right amount of time.

The '07 Decadence release is a very dark, chocolate fudge color. It's damn close to opaque, but shows a few burgundy highlights at the outermost edges. A mocha tan head caps it off. It stands about a finger tall. Retention is on the shorter side. Lacing is moderate and very sticky.
The nose is very impressive. Chocolate malts stand out in a big way. Smells like a nice mix of bittersweet dark chocolate and sweet milk chocolate. Coffee plays a nice role here. It's not front and center, but it's loud in the background. It complements the big chocolate presence perfectly. There's a lingering fruit scent that I can't put my finger on. It's secondary, but is noted. An earthy scent indicates some residual hop presence. Not much though. This bottle's a couple of years old at this point. They're long gone. Nonetheless...smells delicious.
The flavor is equally impressive. What really stands out about '07 Decadence is its delicious chocolate flavor. It's astounding. Sweet milk chocolate with just a touch of bittersweet dark chocolate flavor. Works perfect here. There's some ancillary sweet caramel there, as well. Coffee comes through nice and strong, but doesn't steal the show. It plays its supporting role very well. There's not much hop flavor here. Maybe a little earthiness, but it's faded to a great degree. I am getting a little fruitiness, but it's very subtle and hard to identify. It adds some nice depth to the flavor. I don't know if two years has improved this at all, but it's great beer today. No question about that.
'07 Decadence has a body that falls on the light side of medium. It feels medium with warming, but it's still a little thin. Carbonation feels light. It's smooth, but needs more body to feel creamy. Perhaps it'd be a Double Stout then. Maybe I'm being too critical. Drinkability is very high. This is a damn tasty Imperial Porter. It's strong at 10%, but it goes down so easily. This 750...no problem.
Alesmith never ceases to amaze me. They brew very high quality beer across the board. '07 Decadence is definitely impressive. About the only thing that would noticeably improve it would be more body. That's just my take. It's great beer. I doubt there's many bottles left out there. It's worth seeking out if you're in the trading market. Go for multiple bottles if the opportunity presents itself.

A: Dark Brown or light black if that's possible with tiny bubbles. Barely any head.
S: Figs and Plums, some chocolate, and peat
T: Taste almost like burnt molasses or sugar with dark fruits, there is a bitter finish that I can't put my finger on.
M/D: Nice mouth feel and smoothness, definitely a sipper due to alcohol heat. Maybe a little more down time will mellow out the heat.

Bottle shared, thanks to jhenry04 I believe, at a tasting.
Pours pretty much black in color with a small tan head leaving a little lacing on the glass.
The aroma is nice and rich - basically like the -bal aged version without the bourbon and -bal, with the base beer coming through more strongly, believe it or not. Roast, dark chocolate, and coffee.
The flavor is also that of a strong, well-done classic porter with big dark chocolatey notes, roast, and slight caramel sweetness. Maybe even some wood, even though this wasn't -bal aged.
Smooth and creamy on the mouthfeel with medium-full body.
A great beer this one is. Hope they brew it again.

This 2007 version of Decadence comes in a large bottle with gold trim wrapped on the outside. The pour is soft yet a thick ferocious brown head appears with a dark brown body.
The aroma is west coast hops bitter grapefruit citrus spicy aromatics, gingerbread, cookies, cinnamon, wow what a great nose. The taste is strong upfront of bitter citrus hops, yummy chocolate, bitter sweet caramel this beer is absolutley delicious.
The finish is sweet but that bitter bite comes back for a fight leacing you wanting more. This is a very different and complex beer too bad they only make this once.

Picked up at the BA release. Poured into an American pint.
Poured an opaque black with a small amount of light penetrating near the edges to show that it's actually a very deep brown. A one and a half finger, creamy tan head resulted. Looks tasty.
Smelled strongly of chocolate with hints of vanilla, coffee, and dark fruits.
Tasted as it smelled. Started off with chocolate through the mouth followed by a slight coffee bitterness.
Medium bodied mouth feel. Not a heavy brew.
I think this is a great beer. I am a fan of porters and when the time is right, an Imperial Porter is always a good call. Right now, this beer is slightly hot, but still a wonderful drink. I can't wait for some time on this to see how much better it will become over time. With all of the chocolate I detected, I think this beer would be a great after dinner drink or even possibly a beer float. Recommended.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color ale with a medium light brown foamy head with great retention and very good lacing. Aroma of deep coffee notes with some creamy black chocolate and some lightly bitter roasted malt. Taste is a very well balance with a very nice coffee notes with some delicate black chocolate and a perfect creamy texture. Full body with good carbonation and some well hidden alcohol. This is very sublime and probably the best I had from this very fine brewery.

Thanks to Carlos for this one.
The foamy milk chocolate brown head continues to climb to three fingers even after you stop pouring. Leaves a consistant huge wall of lace. Body settles into the glass a total blackness with oily hints of brown when held to light. A very nice milk chocolaty coco feel is the first thing that the nose picks up. This is accompanied by a bit of smokey malt and minerals. That same creamy coco feel is so appealing right off with first sip. Then there is a mix of anise, smoke and bitter mineral feel that creates the second half of the palate. Alchol is slightly noticeable there also. As you continue to drink, more of a dark chocolate, almost hop infused bitter feel builds on the back of the tongue. This beer actually harshens a bit on the mouthfeel as you drink. A solid drinkable brew.

I was hoping for some homeboys to wanna hang out tonight.... Oh well... it is "Open that bottle night".. This is one that has been in the fridge for a loooong time.
Big 750 received back in July of '08 from Errantnight in the "I'm an Uncle LIF"... Derek... huge thanks and I'm sorry it took me this long to actually review it (It arrived 2 days before my wedding) 8 months later.. Decadence 07 is poured very graciously into my Chimay goblet.
Beautiful 2 finger head is tan with tons of lace atop a deep dark brew.. only walnut/garnet highlites are revealed down toward the stem... a very dark and inviting brew.
Nose is very rich.. milk chocolate and slight espresso beans.. dried cherries ... a little bit of nutty aroma as it warms.
Flavor is definitely decadent.. waves of chocolate.. roasty malts are reminiscent of French Roast.. fruity esters are rich Bing cherries and lite prune.. with room temperature... there is a big coffee ground component that is not out of whack for a beer this big... but it does raise it's head quickly.. the chocolate malt toward the bottom of the bottle.. The alcohol is pretty prevalent as the glass warms up.. spicy peppery is there but not really over any limits...
The body is soooo silky and the carbonation is right where it should be. verging on perfect.. drinkability sorta takes a hit because I honestly think that this brew could have used another 6 months or a year... still it is damn great right now... and I wish I had another.. but the Decadence is pretty proper and I thank Derek for even giving me a chance.

Wow, one of my all-time favorite breweries brews my all-time favorite style. It's too good to be true!
APPEARANCE: Pours into my Victory becker a very dark brown (though not black). A huge, creamy, 2-finger, golden tan head forms on top a gradually drops to a full cap. Behind it is sheets of solid foamy lace. Impressive.
SMELL: Heavy on the chocolate especially with a black malt note to match. A significant hint of roast comes through, but nowhere near stout-like levels. A light hop note is there for balancing purposes. If this were a bit more intense with a little easing off the roastiness, this would be perfect.
TASTE: Perfection! It's taken me a long time to find this, but I'm convinced it doesn't get any better. It's a smooth porter from the very beginning with chocolate and black malt in perfect balance. But then it really starts to kick in. It turns velvety smooth and luxuriously chocolaty and just keeps going. Bigger and bigger, fuller and fuller until it drifts away with bittersweet chocolate and a matching citrusy, spicy hop flavor. Whew, what a beer.
MOUTHFEEL: Full, velvety, luxurious, perfect.
DRINKABILITY: I don't know how a 10% beer can be more drinkable. The alcohol is virtually undetectable. Amazing.
I didn't think it was possible for a beer to exceed my expectations, even when I was anticipating it this much. I've only got 1 other bottle and AleSmith doesn't distribute to my state. I NEED to find a solution to this problem, and FAST.

The latest Decadence release took no time at all to find its way into my hands. I had been waiting for this one, so needless to say I took the first chance I could get to take it out of the fridge, warm it up and see where it was going to go. Served in an over sized wine glass, I was looking forward to my treat.
Appearance - I decided to pour this one in vigoursly to see what kind of look I could entice from it. I got a little more then I bargained for I think! Pour a very very dark brown, essentially black with only the slightest bit of light shining through around the edges. A huge chocolate colored head rose up over the top of it and gradually settled down to a thin layer about three quarters of an inch, high that lasted throughout the rest of the session. Very nice and very full side glass lace then came over and thoroughly coated the inside of the entire glass. Very nice looking and very full for a porter.
Smell - The aroma was just perfection. A rich mixture of chocolate and coffee. Very nice hints of vanilla coming through now as well. Wow, tremendously complex, and a little bit more then what I was thinking it would be. Letting warm so that some of the alcohol would slide by and allow the flavors underneath to shine through a bit. Lots of cocoa came through later on and the slightest touch of a underlying hop base. Near perfection that was bottled in here.
Taste - Unfortunately, the taste could just not hold up to that level of complexity, and I think this was partly due to it being so new. Still through it was tremendously good with a rich chocolate flavored base that was velvety smooth. It was actually more of a cocoa flavor as it was deep and dark with a really nice little bit of bitter bite for it. As it warmed up some nice hints of vanilla now coming through and a bit of molasses or some other rich sugary note. This was really very nice. The alcohol warming was a little hot still, and I really think this will mellow out over time. Still though very nice complex beer here.
Mouthfeel - Awesome carbonation on this one really shining through and giving it a tremendous little bit of body. Now you have to remember here, this is a porter, not a stout, so you want there to be a little bit of a lightness to it, not heavy and thick and I think this pulls that over very well. No thinness but it had that big carbonation and lightness of a good porter. Definitely very well done here.
Drinkability - This is a big beer, there is no mistaking that. It really is one that is a force to be reckoned with. I did finish off the bottle, but it did hurt a little bit and I probably could have gone in on this with a friend, which is what I will do next time. Still though remarkably smooth and easily a good sipper.
Overall, I thought this was an excellent beer, though a touch young. It is very well made and I really enjoyed it. I would have no issues aging a few or drinking it now. Very smooth and delicious with a very nice flavor profile. Another winner from Alesmith.

Picked up today at the barrel aged beer release.
Pours a relatively thick black color with a 1/2 finger light tan head that leaves a touch of lacing.
The smell is interesting. There is a surprising amount of vanilla here. Possibly some dark fruits and coffee, but the vanilla is very much on the forefront.
The taste is similar. Tons of vanilla sweetness mixed with some dark fruits and touches of coffee. Slight chocolate notes. Rough around the edges with some alcohol presence. Too much vanilla sweetness. This may get better with age, but I don't think this is a very good beer right now. And that is a bummer - I love Alesmith and I love strong porters. I'm actually curious as to what style this is trying to be - Baltic Porter? Imperial Stout?
Mouthfeel is good and drinkability is decent.
Overall, meh. To be honest, this is not Peter's best effort. I'll give this another try with a few months of age to see if that improves things - but, right now, this is nothing special.

Wow, 750ml. brown champagne bottle #1 of many...pours an opaque brown-black, with a frothy two-finger light brown head into the Duvel tulip. The head fades slowly to a 1/4" leaving plenty of tell-tale lace behind...a good looking brew indeed.
The first thing to smack the nasel is butterscotch, followed by a toffee malt, caramelly sweet aroma. Very rich and inviting.
The taste is full of butterscotch, brandy, toffee and all with a balance to the malt heavy brew. As it warms, vanilla really comes through as a finishing note. The smell is quite boozy as well as the taste, but not hot and well subdued. Very pleasant at this stage and should age quite well.
The mouthfeel a bit abrassive at this point (trying to smooth) but should mellow with time. Another AleSmith concoction with future promises of greatness...enjoy it now or more so later.

Appearance: Black with dark amber highlights. Translucent in places, good clarity when you can actually see through it. The tan head retains well for such a big beer.
Smell: A big aroma of roasted malt up-front with an undertone of baker's chocolate. Slightly vinous. Very simple and clean.
Taste & mouthfeel: As the aroma suggests, this is pretty straight-forward and simple. Flavors of roasted malt and cacao are at the forefront, with undertones of dark fruit and a touch of coffee in the finish. I'm assuming this is a lager, as it's got the clean flavor of one and a surprisingly light body for a beer of 10% ABV. The mouthfeel is pleasantly dry, though a touch more sweetness may have added more depth and balance - the charred bitterness does become slightly one-dimensional after a while. Nonetheless I really enjoyed this, and it drinks surprisingly well for such a big beer.

Purchased at Vendome Fullerton.
A- Poured into my New Belgium globe glass, this beer pours black with brown hues when held up to light. The tan colored head is thick and creamy, leaving some spotty lacing as it settles.
S- Roasty malts, toffee, dark chocolate, and coffee, with the alcohol peeking through as the beer warms. After a good swirl, I get some aromas of dark fruits and vanilla bean.
T- The taste mirrors the aroma, with flavors of toasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee, and toffee giving way to a moderate cocoa bitterness on the finish. There's a slightly sweet flavor that resembles coffee with cream and sugar that really balances out some of the bitter flavors of this beer. The alcohol is hidden extremely well too.
M- The mouthfeel is very thick and creamy with little carbonation. This has a great silky texture in the mouth.
D- The 10% ABV is very well-hidden. Nothing about this beer stopped me from enjoying almost an entire bottle.

I've been aging this one for a bit.
Appearance is black with about four fingers of beautiful tan head. The head sticks around for a while and sticks nicely to the glass like puffy clouds of tan lacing.
Smell is boozy, chocolate, coffee, toffee and vanilla beans.
Taste is uber rich chocolate and coffee with a little bit of booze. The bitter coffee and toasted malts really lingers after the sweet and booze where off.
Mouthfeel is great with low carbonation and even though it's very rich, it's not syrupy.
For it's style, it's moderately drinkable. I certainly wouldn't want to take a whole bottle down myself because it's so rich.
All and all, a good beer.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - If you believe that all sausages are created equal, than you need to watch them grind one out at Hillcrest's Salt and Cleaver.
"We're using exact proteins like duck and lamb, as well as things like rib eye that people are really familiar with. So we're taking the average idea of what sausage is -- that typical pork bratwurst -- and we're adding some flair," Carlos Anmartano said.
First the gourmet sausages are pan warmed in the oven, before they are flamed up on the grill.
"We like to grill everything here," Carlos said.
Sadie Rose grilled buns are complimented with some exotic toppings.
"On the rib eye sausage, we're putting a Brussels slaw, goat cheese and a little fried Brussels on the top," Carlos said.
Then there's a duck and bacon sausage topped with orange marmalade.
"We add a really nice flavorful mayonnaise, and then add some fresh bacon bits and a little Worcestershire sauce," Carlos said. "We take some of the gorgeous duck confit that we've crisped up. That's our Duck, Duck, Pig."
And for something completely foreign to the frank, there's the coconut crab curry, topped with Maryland crab meat and homemade kimchi. You're starting to get the idea.
"It doesn't look like your average hot dog place right here," Carlos said. "One of our favorite things that we're making right now is this wonderful grilled kale salad. We created a really unique dressing. It's a butternut squash Caesar dressing."
Now at Salt and Clever, not every wiener is a walk on the wild side. Your basic brats and frankfurters, as well as cheeseburgers, pulled pork and fries are a popular part of the menu. And everything can be paired up with clever cocktails and craft beers.
"Sausage and beer go hand and hand," Carlos said.
On Fifth Avenue encased in the heart of Hillcrest grinds the soul of a sausage that dares to be different.

Baker, Banks Lead FGCU Past N.C. Central, 87-68
Inside-out duo combines for 46 points in 19-point win
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Senior guard Reed Baker (Naples, Fla./Bishop Verot HS/Michigan) scored a game-high 25 points and redshirt sophomore Anthony Banks (Lantana, Fla./Santluces HS) provided the inside scoring punch with 21 points to lead the FGCU men's basketball team to a convincing 87-68 win over N.C. Central on Tuesday night at Alico Arena.
It marked the third time this season that a pair of Eagles has reached the 20-point plateau in the same game and the third time Baker and Banks have combined to score over 40 points. The duo combined for 46 points on 19-of-28 from the field and 11 rebounds.
The win snaps a six-game losing streak for the Eagles, as they improve to 3-7 on the season heading into a brief Christmas break. FGCU, who is 7-2 over its last nine non-conference home games dating back to 2008, will return to Alico Arena on Monday, Dec. 27 to host IUPUI at 7:05 P.M.
N.C. Central slips to 4-6 with their third straight loss.
"I'm really pleased with the way we played tonight, especially after getting back from a disappointing road trip," said head coach Dave Balza. "When Reed (Baker) and Anthony (Banks) play like that together, we're a tough team to beat. It felt great to get in front of our home crowd and get a much-needed win."
FGCU continued to improve on its outside shooting, knocking down a season-high 11 three-pointers (11-21) for game. Baker led that charge, hitting 5-of-8 from long range, while sophomore Hunter Miller (Nashville, Tenn./Christ Presbyterian Academy) hit all three of his attempts en route to a career-high 11 points. After making just 29 three-pointers over the first seven games this season, the Eagles have now made 29 over their last three contests.
Junior point guard Marlon Rivera (Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico/Sagemont HS/Santa Fe CC) turned in another solid floor game with game-highs of 12 assists, seven rebounds and four steals. Rivera's 12 assists are the second-best total since the program joined Division I in 2007 and helped the Eagles finish with a season-best 23 helpers.
FGCU also owned a healthy 38-23 edge on the glass which led to a 15-5 advantage in second chance points. For the game, the Eagles shot a season-best 57 percent (34-60) from the field, including a scorching 60 percent (18-30) in the second half.
Despite the 87-point night, the Eagles looked like a team that hadn't played a home game in 24 days over the opening 11 minutes, as the contest featured five lead changes with NCCU holding a slim 17-16 lead at the 7:48 mark.
The lead changes came to a halt with 6:38 left in the half when Baker nailed the first of his three trifectas in the period to ignite a 10-2 run that ended with FGCU leading 26-19 with 5:16 to play. In the quick one-minute and 22-second span, the Eagles scored on all four possessions, sinking 3-of-3 from beyond the arc, including a pair by Miller.
N.C. Central was able to break the FGCU run with five straight points until Baker struck again with back-to-back three-pointers to push the lead back up to eight, 32-24 with 3:31 showing on the clock.
Baker's individual scoring run eventually led to a 39-28 FGCU lead at the half after freshman Christophe Varidel (Versoix, Switzerland/Worcester Academy) joined the three-point shooting barrage with 47 seconds remaining to help give the Eagles their second straight halftime advantage. FGCU finished the opening 20 minutes by shooting 53 percent (16-30) from the field and an impressive 7-of-11 from downtown.
Momentum from the end of the half carried over into the start of the final frame, as Baker picked up where he left off with another three-pointer in the team's opening possession of the half. The Eagles quickly added onto their first double-digit halftime lead of the season by opening the final 20 minutes on a 9-2 run that pushed the lead to 18, 48-30, with 17:04 and essentially putting the game out of reach.
FGCU held on to its double figure lead for the remainder of the half and took its largest lead, 75-49 (26), with just over six minutes remaining. The Eagles held the lead for the final 26:38 of the contest.
N.C. Central was led by the backcourt duo of junior Landon Clement and senior C.J. Wilkerson. Clement led the way for the Eagles with 16 points, while Wilkerson was the only other double figure scorer with 15. As a team, UNCC shot 46 percent (25-55) from the floor, but had just five offensive rebounds.
Freshman Chase Fieler (Parkersburg, W.Va./Parkersburg South) reached double figures for the third time this season with 11 points on 5-of-7 from the field.
Eagle Extras
FGCU now leads all-time series against UNCC at 3-0 … the Eagles have collected double figure offensive rebounds in 9 of 10 games this season … FGCU is 2-1 at Alico Arena this season, averaging 83.7 points and shooting 52 percent (93-178) … Anthony Banks has reached double figures six straight games, highlighted by a trio of 20-point outings … Banks' five offensive rebounds gives him 41 on the season … Banks has now grabbed five or more offensive rebounds in seven games this season … Reed Baker's 25 points move him over 900 points for his career and just 81 away from 1,000 … Baker has a team-best four 20-point games and 13 for his career … Marlon Rivera has led the team in assists eight times this season and has 55 on the year … Rivera has 17 steals over the last five games … A-Sun-best four double-doubles … 10 or more offensive rebounds in eight of nine games.

text: The Hunger Games Food Eat Your Way Through The Hunger Games by Susannah Chen 11/22/13 22 Reactions 574 Shares Print 456 89 29 0 0 With The Hunger Games: Catching Fire opening later today, it's time to start whetting your appetite, not only for the film's serious eye candy, but also for the vividly described food that makes a few cameos in the movie. From freshly baked bread loaves to that legendary lamb stew, here are more than a dozen provisions from the first chapter of the series that'll leave you, well, hungering for more of the Games. Source: Camilla Salem, Lionsgate Simple Loaf of Bread What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Break bread with a no-knead loaf, in the same way that Katniss and Gale do on the day of the reaping. Photo: Camilla Salem 1 / 15 Leaf-Wrapped Goat Cheese What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Alongside the bread, serve goat cheese wrapped in leaves, like the basil-wrapped gem that came courtesy of Primrose's goat, Lady. Our favorite is Mozzarella Company's goat cheese, wrapped delicately in a heart-shaped hoja santa leaf. Photo: Susannah Chen 2 / 15 Strawberries What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Katniss gathers strawberries to eat with her family the night of the reaping. As the fragrant berries are approaching peak season, so should you. Photo: Susannah Chen 3 / 15 Raisin and Nut Bread What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 On her first encounter with Peeta, Katniss receives a warm (if slightly burnt) loaf of bread, filled with raisins and nuts. "We ate an entire loaf, slice by slice," she recalled. For a similar effect, try the Cranberry and Walnut Levain from Acme Bread. Photo: Camilla Salem 4 / 15 Cookies What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When Katniss parts for The Hunger Games, Peeta's father, a baker, comforts her with his version of an olive branch: a paper package filled with cookies. We envision them to be sort of like the thumbprint butter cookies shown here. Katniss describes them as "a luxury we can never afford." Photo: Lauren Hendrickson 6 / 15 Dandelion Greens What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Katniss and her sister, Primrose, often scour the meadow for edible stems like dandelion greens. Our favorite thing to make with the wild vegetable? A creamy dandelion green and goat cheese gratin. Photo: Lauren Hendrickson 6 / 15 Hot Chocolate What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 On the train ride to the Capitol, Katniss has her first taste of the hot, sweet, creamy liquid known as hot chocolate, and it makes her shudder. We think she'd love Mindy Segal's famous hot chocolate, or our homemade version with vanilla. Photo: Annie Tomlin 7 / 15 Honey-Colored Pudding Cups What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Katniss and Cinna, her stylist, sit down to an over-the-top meal that finishes with a pudding the color of honey. "I try to imagine assembling this meal myself back home," Katniss reflects. "As for the pudding, I can't even guess what's in it." Perhaps it was a taste of these peanut butter and chocolate pudding cups. Photo: Lauren Hendrickson 8 / 15 Cream of Mushroom Soup What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 As coaches and stylists awkwardly talk game strategy over dinner, Katniss keeps herself occupied with the silky mushroom soup at the table. Photo: Lauren Hendrickson 9 / 15 Arugula With Cherry Tomatoes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Over dinner with Cinna, Portia, Haymitch, Effie, and Peeta, Katniss admires (and devours) bitter greens with tomatoes the size of peas. Photo: Camilla Salem 11 / 15 Cheese Plate With Blue Grapes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Katniss is mesmerized by "cheese that melts on your tongue served with sweet blue grapes." Re-create a similar experience with thick-skinned table grapes and runny Époisses. Photo: Anna Monette Roberts 11 / 15 Beef Stew What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Before Katniss gets coached by Haymitch on her strategy in the games, she sits down to not one but two steaming plates of beef stew. Photo: Susannah Chen 12 / 15 Iced Cakes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fancy cakes "with flowers and pretty things painted in frosting" were a specialty of Peeta's, since he worked under his father's tutelage at the bakery. We imagine something at least as elaborate as this tiered cake from Ladurée. Photo: Julia Millay Walsh 13 / 15 Lamb Stew With Dried Fruit What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Katniss's most decadent meal of all time just might be the Capitol's lamb stew, which she enjoys prior to competing in The Hunger Games. Her stew, piled high with chunks of tender lamb meat and dried plums, is served on a bed of wild rice. Photo: Camilla Salem 14 / 15 Mint Tea What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 During the Games, Katniss recalls her meals in District 12, including the soothing mint tea that her family drank after meals.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
The World Chicken Festival is now another dot in history, the NFL referee strike is over, and life as we know it may soon be back to its 'normal' progression from summer to fall.
The autumn season brings cooler temperatures to a scorching summer of 2012, complete with a drought that will inevitably drive grocery prices even higher over the next few months. Gas prices continue to fluctuate, dropping a few cents and then increasing a few more cents than it was before the price drop.
Farmers fortunate to salvage some garden goods may fare a bit better than those totally dependent on grocery store produce although many lost much of their crops to dry weather, burning up in summer's hot sun. Others lost garden goods to starving woodland creatures who took advantage of human efforts to fill their own belly.
The arrival of October signals the beginning of the end of mowing and weed eating for many, with the lawns, awnings and porches adorned with orange, red, and yellow wreaths and Halloween decorations that mark the end of summer and the onslaught of the fall season.
Autumn is a beautiful time of year, when neatly manicured lawns become a kaleidoscope of colored fallen leaves and the hillsides blaze with red, orange and yellow leaves blending in with the evergreen tree varieties that make the south such a vivid strand of color each year.
Gardens overgrown with weeds are leveled and sometimes plowed, allowing the minerals to decay and enrich the soil for another hopeful gardening season a few months away.
Seasonal plants disappear into the ground, dormant and waiting for spring when they burst from the ground and return green to the gray of winter. Fall plants boast their colorful hues until the winter, when the white of frost and snow are the dominant color.
Fall is a time when we can bask in the glory of nature, studying the changes in our world as it transforms into the later part of yet another year that sometimes goes by too swiftly. It is a time that we can look back on the spring and summer and realize what we have not accomplished and celebrate what we have. It is a time to reminisce on the past, enjoy the present and look to the future.
While we hustle and bustle with our busy lives, let's take a moment to look around us and realize all the bountiful blessings and wonders of our lives and our world. We owe that to ourselves.

FDA Plans to Change FSMA Proposed Rules that Affect Farmers
The Food and Drug Administration will propose revised rule language on two of the proposed rules under the Food Safety Modernization Act that affect farmers.
FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods and Veterinary Medicine Michael Taylor says the agency believes this decision was made in response to the careful consideration of many people involved in supplying our food and is critical to fulfilling a commitment to getting them right.
The plan is to issue revised rules for the proposed rules on produce safety and preventive controls for human food by early next summer. Among other things - the changes will encompass water quality standards and testing and standards for using manure and compost.
FDA will seek comments on the revised sections of the rule.

Huge thanks to Jim for this bottle. Served in a Jolly Pumpkin tulip. Pours a dark golden color with a few bubbles on top. Extremely mellow nose. Very smooth. Oxidized malt with cherry, vanilla, and oak. Smooth. Light acidity. Nose was better than the flavor, where it fell apart a bit. I bet this was quite good in its prime, but it's over the hill by now.

Beer shared at a recent tasting, thanks. Beer is amber and hazy with almost no head, low carbonation, no lacing.
Aroma is oak, musky, cherries, funk.
Beer is musky and a little sweet, faint cherries in the back, this was probably way way way better several years ago but there is a shadow of that greatness just beneath the surface. I don't think I'd have it again.

Shared by Thorpe429. A nice and unexpected surprise.
The beer is light chestnut / amber / crimson hued (I need to learn my colors, apparently) with a small head. The aroma offers funk, must, old cherries, fruit. The flavor is a bit odd. Lots of wood emerges in the flavor, overpowering the beer. A bit tannic with some odd flavors. Still, intriguing and flavorful. A bit unbalanced. Some darker malts and hints of nail polish. Overall, this was just OK.

Clear orange copper pour, scant head. Nose is herbal, dry, minty. Not much sugar left, and something kind of weird in there. Flavor is empty, devoid of sugars or yeast qualities. Some light dry fruits, kind of papery. Not sour, fruity, funky, flavorful in any way, with a weird bready, cognac like aspect.

Thanks goes to Jason to brining this to WLV for the tasting. Never thought I'd get a chance to try this one, but my fellow Chicago BA's never cease to amaze me. 12oz bottle into wine glass.
A - Pours a mirky copper/mud color, cream-colored head, some bubbles here and there, and some spotty lacing along the sides of the glass.
S - Lots of oak, dark fruits, slight bourbon, some spices, cinnamon. No real signs of any sour/tart or funk.
T - Caramel apples, buttery notes, lots of oak, slight sweet spice. Much like the nose, no real sour/tart/funk to report.
M - Light, low bubbly carbonation, slightly dry finish.
D - I was good with my sample and didn't care for much more. I'm glad I was able to try it, but it's not something I'd seek out again unless I was presented another bottle randomly.

375ml bottle given to me by my boy Papajcik...Pours a dark muddy orange with notes of copper. A big finger of off white head, pretty good retention...Aroma stunningly lacking a ton of oak, wood notes are there with bourbon, and tart fruits, but not very sour?...The taste keeps me surprised again as its not that sour. Caramel, bourbon, spice, with some tart notes. Not a puckerer at all and the thing I do like is that its not the typical Jolly Pumpkin oak sour flavor.
Not bad but nothing special, maybe its not aging well?

Batch 1 served in a tasting snifter. Big thanks to Northernbrews for contributing this to the tasting last weekend.
A - Nice looking brew here with a finger of off-white foam that dissipates to a thin collar and touches of haze and minimal spotty lace. Dark transparent caramel-orange color.
S - Tart Granny Smith apples, bourbon, spicey wood, char, and caramel. Very nice collection of well-balance flavors. Not a ton of sourness here.
T - Taste is more of a caramel golden ale, with light sour and tart notes and a tannic finish. Reminds me of Perseguidor 5, but with a little more bite to it. The fact that this is sort of mellow is excusable considering the age on it. You can tell this is a simpler blend though (think it was just La Roja and Bam aged for extra long).
M - Lower carbonation, refreshing, medium body, and a dry finish that morphs into a clean aftertaste. I can see this benefiting from a touch more spritz, but otherwise it's quite enjoyable.
D - I could have had all 12oz to myself without much trouble. The flavors are well-attenuated, and no domain ever gets too fatiguing. A nice Jolly Pumpkin brew, but not that much more exciting than their usual offerings.

Thanks OHLrangers for this one.
Small capped bottle poured into a tulip.
Hazy dark golden, nice white head with average retention, good lacing.
Nice aroma, musty, acidic and tangy, fruity with multiple different layers.
Nicely refreshing, well carbonated mouthfeel adding a zip to it, opening to a very fruity beer, acidic and tart. Multiple different fruits keep coming and going, from oranges to berries, and lots of diffrent ones in between.
A very nice beer that could age well, assuming I was lucky enough to have more.

Thanks to autumnaldave for giving me this at DLD 2008. This bottle says 2006 on the gold sticker, not sure which batch that is.
Rusted amber hue, mostly clear, pencil thin ring of foam. Carbonation is very subtle. Vinegary bouquet of cherry fruit, mostly sour with some light sweetness also. Very much looks and smells like a Flanders Red.
I get a good sense of the acidity on the first sip but the tartness is very downplayed. Faint cherry flavors give way to an out of place bitterness in the finish with some alcohol flavor coming through. Overall the fruit/tart flavors seem muted, and I wonder if I have allowed it to mellow too long? The mouthfeel has a decent touch of carbonation with a thin body.
Was glad to try such a rare beer but it didn't impress that much. Perhaps it would be better fresher, but I would have thought a sour ale could last much more than 3 years...

Draft sample of Batch 1 at MBGF.
Poured hazy amber color with a minimal fizzy off-white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing.
Moderate tart citrus earthy woody aroma.
Medium body.
Medium sour flavor with a light bitter finish of moderate duration.
My expectations where met with another good JP brew.

Brown red, with no head. Aromas of funky socks, cheese, tart vinegar, OAK,acetic acid, over ripe fruit and brett/lacto funk. Taste is funky, sharp chedder cheese and malt vinegar laden with a nice mid and back palate of fruit, brett laden funk and OAK. Finish is dry and abrasive, but smooths out in the end. Mouthfeel is filling and the flavors linger. Drinkability is nice as well. Certainly funky and well blended, however it just seemed mediocre when rated to style.

This is a FANTASTIC and extremely well-rounded brew! Excellent job by JP.
A- Pours a very dark golden color with a thick ring of foam around the edge of the glass.
S- Alcohol hits the nose first, but there is so much beyond the initial booziness. Sour brett comes through strong, but subtle notes of vanilla, oak, and peat come through.
T- I was floored by the complexity of this sour. The sourness is certainly in the foreground but without dominating the beer at all. Herbal, woodsy notes are balanced by an earthy quality. Hints of oak, vanilla, and pepper are noted. The alcohol presence is there, but not hot. Rather, it adds to the subtle sweetness of the beer.
M- Crisp with a lingering complex finish.
D- Exceptionally smooth and drinkable. The incredible balance of the beer makes it so pleasant.

Shared at RoyMunson's house along with FtownThrowDown. Thanks for having me over :) Big thanks for bringing this, Steve. I never thought I'd get a chance to try any of these.
12oz. brown bottle, Batch 1, poured into a snifter.
A: Pours a plum flesh copper with some hazing. Short head on the pour that lasts a bit. Some light lacing.
S: Plenty of cherries from the La Roja, pleasantly tart. Great assertive, yet somehow soft JP funkiness. A bit of woodiness from the extended barreling.
T/M: Much of the same from the nose. Just a touch of alcohol creeps in on the edges. The oak and vanilla comes out quite a bit more than in the nose. Very delicate all around but very tasty. The brett has definitely continued to do it's work. Body is medium light to medium and the carbonation has held up rather well considering its age.
D: Maybe the best of the night. Very drinkable thought basically unattainable.

Batch 1 Sampled July 2008
A standard pour produces a finger-and-a-half thick, light tan colored head in my large Tripel Karmeliet tulip. The beer is a murky, reddish plum color that shows a hazy, opaque, maraschino cherry red color when held up to the light. The aroma up front is a mix of oak and tartness with aromas of vanilla, slight buttery oak, tamarind, sour raisin, concentrated sour plum and lightly spicy wood. Quite funky too with a rich, musty, damp earthiness, cobweb & musky Brettanomyces notes and some slight, ripe cheese character is also here. The barrel adds a touch of spiciness and even a hint of booziness that is reminiscent of Bourbon. I can't exactly say why, as no single thing jumps out at me as being all that unique or even overly interesting, but the aroma on this is just really nice; spending dedicated time just smelling this beer is very easy to do.
This is sour tasting, though not aggressively so. It has a soft, yet persistent carbonation that adds a bit of a textural prickle as the beer flows across my tongue. This is quite dry, with no perceived sweetness to it at all, despite this it does have some heft and viscousness to it; it seems to have picked up some body boosting tannins during its sleep in the barrels. This is very quaffable and, if it wasn't for the fact that I only had one twelve ounce bottle, I could easily drink this a lot faster than I am. Spicy oak flavors in the middle produce thoughts of Bourbon, these notes then meld in with the sourness that becomes a bit more dominant in the finish. Tart fruit flavors of plum, tamarind and raisin (without being sweet at all) are each noticeable. Oak influenced flavors of vanilla linger on the palate and there is a tough of butterscotch here as well. Not nearly as funky as the aroma (though it was fairly light there too), with more of a musty earthiness than anything.
The aroma was a bit more well integrated somehow than the flavor ends up being; the components are mostly the same, it is just that in the aroma they create an enticing, harmonious whole that is not quite achieved in the flavor. Despite seeming a little flat, the flavor is still quite good and I would happily drink more of this. A very drinkable beer; before I know it my glass is sadly empty.

Recieved in an "incognito" bottle via an awesome trade with GrandCruDrew. I think this is batch 2, not sure? Huge thanks for the chance to try this.
Pours an opaque, dark bronze with some white fizz on top. The smell is funky and oaky and wild.
It's citrusy up front. Not overly sour. The oak taste is pretty big, but it fits with the beer, it doesn't feel out of place. The finish is oaky with a bit of a taste of alcohol. Kind of coconutty. I'm really digging the big oaky aftertaste.
The carbonation is perfect. It helps the beer feel a bit airier. The beer is not watery at all.
Very drinkable. I wish I had another bottle.

This is the real deal!
Pours a light copper in color with only a slight head that is quickly gone. Smell is oak, vanilla, slight bourbon and the much loved JP funk. The taste is spot on same as the smell. Good mouthfeel with just the perfect amount of carbonation. An absolutely incredible creation. Thanks to Ron for making this gem, and Chris for sending it to me!

12oz bottle. Pours into my glass a hazy amber/red color with a smally bubbly white head that quickly dissipates. Orange accents peek out as well. Aromas begin with big woody, oak and leather tones off the bat alongside a vibrant sour, funky yeast. Lots of fruits in the mix with apricots, grape, cherry, apple and citrus all floating around. Slightly spicy with an underlying vinegar aspect to it. Light caramel. Makes me envision a musty old room filled with oak barrels and cobwebs!
First sip brings a solid, somewhat caramel malt base upfront quickly met by woody and oak flavors. A myriad of fruit works in with cherry, grape, citrus and apple all making an appearance. Light toffee, spice and vanilla tones mix in with a bold sour, funky brett yeast that carries everything down. It finishes on the dry side with an acidic hit and light bitterness. Lingering sour oak afterthoughts. Yum.
Mouthfeel is smooth with a somewhat creamy medium body and mellow carbonation. Goes down nicely with a sour/acidic twang that never becomes overbearing. In the end it's a tasty sour blended brew from one of my favorite Michigan breweries. The 12oz bottle is a nice size for this one as a 750 to myself might have been a bit much. I hope to see this one come around again as I always enjoy a tasty wild ale.
Batch 3: Shared at a tasting and all I have to say is YUM. Super funky and fruity and a treat to drink. Really glad to have had a chance to sample this one.

C-3PO (See-Threepio)
C-3PO is a droid programmed for etiquette and protocol, built by the heroic Jedi Anakin Skywalker, and a constant companion to astromech R2-D2. Over the years, he was involved in some of the galaxy's most defining moments and thrilling battles -- and is fluent in over six million forms of communication.
A resourceful astromech droid, R2-D2 served Padmé Amidala, Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker in turn, showing great bravery in rescuing his masters and their friends from many perils. A skilled starship mechanic and fighter pilot's assistant, he formed an unlikely but enduring friendship with the fussy protocol droid C-3PO.
Plo Koon
Level-headed and unflappably calm, Jedi Master Plo Koon is among the wisest in the Jedi Order. Deeply concerned for life of every form, Plo Koon is especially devoted to protecting the clones under his command. Master Plo shares a special bond with Ahsoka Tano for finding her as a baby.
General Grievous
General Grievous was a brilliant Separatist military strategist and a feared Jedi hunter, known for his ruthlessness and hacking cough. His body itself was a weapon, allowing him lightning quick strikes and devastating blows. But he was also quick to run from a fight, a tactic that worked until one final meeting with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Yoda was a legendary Jedi Master and stronger than most in his connection with the Force. Small in size but wise and powerful, he trained Jedi for over 800 years, playing integral roles in the Clone Wars, the instruction of Luke Skywalker, and unlocking the path to immortality.
Imperial Star Destroyer
The wedge-shaped Imperial Star Destroyer is a capital ship bristling with weapons emplacements. Turbolasers and tractor beam projectors dot its surface. Its belly hangar bay can launch TIE fighters, boarding craft, land assault units, hyperspace probes, or be used to hold captured craft. Its bustling bridge is staffed by the finest crewers in the Imperial starfleet. The Star Destroyer is recognized as the signature vessel of the Imperial fleet. Its presence in a system marks matters of extreme Imperial import. Though, as is typical of the Empire, not even the Star Destroyer was enough to sate the Imperial hunger for displays of power. Larger vessels, such as the Super Star Destroyer, dwarf even these giants.
