In the movie 42 about Jackie Robinsons integration of Major League Baseball, an irritated Robinson shows disdain for reporter Wendell Smith of the Pittsburgh Courier, which was one of the leading black newspapers in the country.
Smith had been trailing Robinson, hunting exclusive stories but also helping Robinson navigate his way through the challenges of being a black pioneer in a white mans league. Smith had had enough of Robinsons petulance. You, Mr. Robinson, are not the only one with something at stake here, Smith says firmly.
To Arnold Rampersad, Robinsons biographer, thats one of his favorite moments in a movie that he says is historically accurate.
Thats the moment Wendell Smith puts him in his place, Rampersad told me this week. He was a seasoned writer but was not allowed into the writers box because of his skin color. That was a powerful moment.
Story of the century
Rampersad is professor emeritus in the English Department at Stanford University and the author of acclaimed biographies on Langston Hughes and Ralph Ellison. His Robinson biography, superbly researched and elegantly written, was published in 1997. He says the movie, which focuses on Robinsons 1946 and 47 seasons, accurately portrays the sometimes complicated relationship between Smith and Robinson.
Smith and Billy Rowe, Courier photographer and writer, were paid by Branch Rickey, the general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, to accompany Robinson and to be his protectors, advisers and links to the local black community. Smith had recommended Robinson to Rickey. Later, he broke the story that Robinson would be promoted to the Dodgers.
In the 1940s, the Courier was the largest black paper in the country with a circulation of about 350,000, said Ulish Carter, its current managing editor. The paper had a national edition that was distributed in North Carolina and throughout the South by Pullman porters who traveled the country by rail and left a stack of Couriers at every stop.
Major League Baseball in the 1940s was the dominant professional sport in the country and its integration was a civil rights milestone. Carter said in that era it was the story of the century, the biggest breakthrough for Negroes since the Civil War.
Smith, the Couriers sports editor, was a leading advocate for the integration of baseball. But, Rampersad said, he wasnt the only one. In the black press, he was joined by men like Sam Lacy of the Baltimore Afro-American and Frank Young of the Chicago Defender. They had allies in the mainstream press, including Jimmy Powers of the New York Daily News and Dave Egan of the Boston Record.
Smith a pioneer too
Like Robinson, Smith, who died in 1972, was a trailblazer. He was the first sports reporter from the black press to be hired by a big-city daily (the Chicago American).
Some have objected that 42 doesnt mention the role that Lacy played in baseballs integration. Lacy persuaded the baseball owners in 1945 to create a committee to consider integration.
Rampersad agrees that Lacy played an important role but thinks the movies featuring Smith is appropriate. Among the baseball writers, Wendell Smith was unique to the so-called Rickey experiment, he said. He was the one deputized by Rickey to escort Robinson and smooth the way. He deserves the No. 1 spot.

PRINCETON (WVVA) - A former Summers County commissioner has been indicted by a Mercer County Grand Jury.
Court records indicate Jerry Berry has been charged with embezzlement and fraudulent schemes.
The alleged victim is the owner of the website wvyourway.com, of which Berry was an employee.
Investigators tell WVVA News the victim was not getting checks made out to him and that Berry was apparently keeping the money. Plus, when the pair split, Berry allegedly continued to use the website to do business and set up a separate bank account for profits.
The case is scheduled for trial in April.
In March 2012, Berry made headlines by being tentatively named the Economic Development Director of the City of Bluefield.
He withdrew his name from the position less than two weeks later.
According to a previous WVVA.com report, the two side could not come to terms on a contract.

Poured a thick dark, dark, reddish brown with no foam. The first impression when smelled was of roasted brown sugar, with chocolate over tones. The aroma was so pleasant and i couldn't pick-up the alcohol, even at 11%, it just smelt so inviting. The taste of roated malts, brown sugar or molasses, whatever it was and caramel, not choclate. This is so, so smooth and tasty, without that strong bitter or high alcohol feel on the palate. This, for me, is one great tasting American Barleywine. I, myself, have not tasted such a well blended and balanced ale in a long, long time. I'm out to buy a case or two!

First off by saying this is an American style Barleywine you would be wrong,many are reviewing it as such,this is a big malt driven English Barleywine,it pretty much says so on the label!Poured a brilliant auburn color with a creamy off white head that never really leaves completely,its extremely vinious with juicy dark fruitiness,very cakey,a light shot of resiny hop lingers in the nose.Chewey with a big shot of dark fruit and cake on the palate,the hop come into play as it warms giving a resiny undertone.To me this is a great beer,its English in nature,warming and rich,a winter by the fireplace beer,it is really great!

12oz bottle. Pours light brown with a medium creamy light tan head that retains fairly well and leaves some lacing.
The aroma is sweet figgy malts, toffee, cola, cardboard and alcohol.
The flavor is sweet malts, molasses, brown sugar, dark fruits (fig) with some alcohol. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and kind of watery.
Overall, it's too sweet for me with a bit of alcohol. Not balanced at all.

12 ouncer, came in a four pack for $9.99. I can find no freshness/bottling date info.
Pours near clear, glowing medium almond amber. Typical light mocha head, goes to a finy bubble film and moderate collar.
Bright fruit, booze, honey, malt in the nose.
Notes of raisins, lime, whisky, some smoke and roasty malts.
Medium body and mouthfeel, lackes the depth of flavors and intensity of the top examples of the style.
Moderate alcohol burn late.

undated 12 oz bottle served in a pint glass.
Pours a cloudy, reddish amber with a thin but creamy tan head. The head has limited retention.
Aroma: spicy hops over a floral base of alcohol esters and sweet malt.
Taste: high ABV all too evident in the flavor and mouthfeel. Looking past the alcohol, the underlying flavor is a good and rich fruity/herbal mix of malts and hops. Unfortunately, this is overshadowed by alcohol. Good sweet/bitter balance.
M: medium body; as expected, warming in mouth and GI tract, but this one has some burn to it.
O - a decent, and low-priced example of the style. Improves with warming. Can't quite decide between a beer and a brandy? ... perhaps this is for you. Too boozy for me.

Bottle purchased from Hop City in Atlanta. I'm surprised to see this with so few reviews, I'm wondering if the recipe differs from "Talon".
Pours a slightly hazy dark copper color with a one-finger off-white head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of sweet caramel malts with hints of deeper toasted malts. Also present are good amounts of mild toffee aromas.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Sticky caramel malt flavors with large amounts of toffee and lighter amounts of butterscotch kick things off. Midway through the sip the sweetness subsides as mild amounts of toastiness make an appearance, carrying through to a smooth and moderately bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with smooth carbonation.
Drinkability is also good. I finished my glass without any problems and could easily have another.
Overall this was close to being a very good beer but the malt flavors aren't quite smooth enough. Still, it's a tasty beverage that's worth a shot. As a side note Mendocino is up there as far as the most affordable micro's go while still being above average.

Small light brown head quickly dies leaving no lacing above a clear burnt dark reddish amber colored beer.
Rich grains and alcohol aroma overwhelm anything else that might be going on.
Big roasted grains blend well with the alcohol in a full flavored taste on this barley wine.
A very light dry aftertaste that brings with it some of the caramel malts.
A medium bodied barley wine that has more of a beer taste than a lot of barley wines I've have tried, which to me is a big plus.

The color is a thick, ruddy medium-dark brown, something of a heavy bronze. A tight medium-brown head develops and displays pretty good retention, fading off to a foam that leaves spotty lacing as the beer drops.
Something is lost in the heavy alcoholic presence of this beer. There's not much nuance in the aroma, and a lot seems to be lost as heavy fusel notes and even something akin to rubbing alcohol sit strongly in the front. That said, it isn't terrible; it doesn't go so far as to remind me of paint thinner or terpentine as some heavily alcoholic macros end up going with. The malts base is still there, and I can still get most of the notes I find in the flavor.
What I get in the flavor is a sturdy backbone of darker malts, a big dark fruits sweetness, some caramel, a sugary sweetness (residual sugars?) strong all the way through and, riding alongside the whole way, that big boozy presence. It comes together a bit better in the flavor here. Hops lie underneath the malts, offering a bit of citrus and, to a lesser extent, grassiness.
The body is on the bigger side of medium, not as thinned out for all the alcohol as it could be; in fact, it's almost a little "chewy," so to speak. There's a gentle crispness and a light carbonation throughout.

Appearance - Pours a hazy ,dark amber with a 2 finger white head. Average retention. Leaves behind small, spotty lacing.
Smell - Sweet, boozy and a berry fruit aroma.
Taste - Follows the nose. Sweet berry notes, raspberry and blackberry. A hint of grassy bitterness. Heat creeps in near the finish, leaving in it's wake a dry, astringent resonance. Becomes cloyingly sweet, sip after sip.
Mouthfeel - Full-bodied and syrupy. Has a moderate, somewhat bubbly carbonation. Finishes dry from the alcohol heat.
Overall - This is, at very best, an average barleywine. Little complexity, met by a lot of boozy character. Greatly unbalanced, and the unforgiving berry sweetness is matched only by the forwardness of the alcohol. I probably could have finished it, but I found myself not wanting to, so it went down the drain. Would not buy again.

Another big beer for my birthday. Boozy aroma. Brown, with a whisp of a head. A big caramel that grows on me, more of an English barleywine. 2011 version so maybe hops have faded, yet the carbonation is still right there. Boozy finish and a meal in itself.Thanks for bringing Stephen.

Mendocino Imperial Barleywine Ale
I'm not sure what an "Imperial" Barleywine is, but OK. It's 11%, whereas their other barleywine, "Talon" is only 10.5%. And this seems much more English, whereas the Talon was more American. But "Imperial"? Really? I think they're just using it to fit in with their "Imperial IPA" and "Imperial Stout". Moving forward...
In the glass it's a hazy mahogany brown beneath a very nice head of frothy yellowed-white foam. The head retention is quite good and it initially leaves rings of lace about the glass following each sip - although in the end they end up sliding down into the glass. (I've used a beer-clean glass for sure - no soap, just hot water and then air-dried).
The aroma expresses a very delicate spice and soft, sticky-sweet dried-fruit notes over a caramelish and doughy malt base.
In the mouth it's full bodied and creamy with a moderate carbonation. - I should also note here that I served this at cellar temperature, which would affect the head upon pouring, allowing it to foam up a bit, and thus soften the mouthfeel. It also opens up the nose a bit, and allows the flavors to come through more fully.
The flavor is fuller than the nose suggests, as is usually the case, and I can see that at least some of the spice in the nose is coming from alcohol. It's not overpowering or "hot" however, and to a certain extent it's expected of the style so... OK. The fruitiness is quite nice though, and I get a bit of cherry, some raisin, and fig. The malt is richer, but not really any more complex than the nose suggests. Well, maybe a little bit, but in all honesty I think it lacks the depth that a better quality malt bestows. And some hops are present, which is nice, lending a leafy and minty note that combines with the malt to become almost herbal. In fact, it develops into a very welcome note of black licorice towards the end of the glass. It's solidly bitter, and not overdone: stiff, but balanced; and that herbal/licorice character it develops helps to balance it in the lingering finish.
So what to say of this beer in conclusion? Stylistically it works. There's nothing off about it. Hedonistically it falls a little bit short for my personal tastes, but I still like it. I wish the malt character was a little wider, but if every beer hit the mark for what we've decided we personally "like", then there would be a lot less beers to choose from, and eventually a lack of beers that would allow our tastes to evolve. Right now I'd like to see a little more golden malt here, but a year or two from now I might feel it needs a little more hops. So let me take a step back and say that I really enjoyed the cherry note in the fruitiness, and that overall it was a pretty good barleywine. Would I recommend it? Yes. Certainly worth trying for barleywine fans. Probably not so much for newbies.

Poured a finger of head on a dark red colored body.
The aroma is a mashed up of grapes, barley and apple juice.
The taste is nice. A little boozy, ripe apple, sweet malt with a moderate bitter finish.
The texture is crisper with moderate carbonation.
It's aroma was lacking, but the rest was fine.

THINK STRAWBERRY POP TARTS or Srawberry Newtons??? Not sure...
Picked this up at mid-town today. Lately this brewery has disappointed, but I am willing to roll the dice on this 4-pack!
Pours chestnut/mahogany with a pinky of tan head into my Boulevard Goblet... Some lacing & near zero head retention
S: Plums, raisins, black currants, Strawberry jam??? & raspberry, great if weird scents going on here...
T: Raspberry, plums, figs, & strawberry jam verging om pop tart filling, very weird, plus leafy hops up front. Plums, woody & leafy hops, slight persimmon notes, plus more strawberry & dryness once warm. Finishes dry, plummy, jammy & strawberry sweet; this would work better a some sort of experimental English BW. 1.0 deduction for going way off style
MF: Light body for the style, very low carbonation
This drinks fine, but has strayed far off style I'm at a loss as whether to call it a disaster or a weird but nice one-off. Not sure I would ever guess American BW here though.... Had/has potential

12 oz bottle at 48 degrees into a Stone IRS tulip.
A: It pours an over-steeped tea-looking clear dark red color with two fingers of cream-colored head that does not hold nor lace very well.
S: A wide array of fruits; citrus, figs, and sweet apples, as well caramel and molasses.
T: Sweet apples, citrus rind, figs, candi sugar, and booze. This is definitely one of the fruitier barleywines.
M: The body is medium-thick and palate-sticking with a little alcohol heat.
D: This is goes down easily until it warms too much. When it reaches about 60 degrees, it becomes a little too hot.

Obscure barleywine on sale ($8/4pk), sure why not?
Murky reddish brown body, a dense yet thin layer of white foam sits on the surface, settling slowly to a free island of floating skim.
Smells like toffee, oxidized malt, and a whiff of alcohol. Barleywine!
Creamy feel, no hint of alcohol in fact. Guessing this was aged a year plus at the store. Light hint of residual hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Bulk of the flavor is comprised of sweet malt complexity, cellophane-wrapped caramel squares, multigrain bread. Drying aftertaste. Medium bodied, lower carbonation levels. Overall not bad once it warms up. A middle of the road ABW that is cheap for being 11%, and hides it pretty well (after aging).

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On his weekly trips back home to Indiana, U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly has been snapping photos of high school gyms to add to the Hoosier-themed artwork in his Washington, D.C., office, and collecting mugs for the Wednesday morning coffee hours he hosts for constituents visiting the nation's capital.
Since taking office six months ago, the freshman senator has immersed himself in big national issues, from immigration reform to the Affordable Care Act. But he's also been what he calls "laser focused" on staying connected to the people he represents.
For Donnelly, that means frequent travel around the state — where he's routinely peppered with advice — and a mandate to his staff to respond as quickly as they can to the thousands of emails and phone calls they get each week, especially those that are requests for help navigating the federal bureaucracy.
"Our job is to make sure that if a veteran has a problem, we take care of it. If there's a Social Security question, we get it answered," Donnelly said in a recent interview in his Washington office. "We're the hired help. We're here to serve the people of Indiana."
It's gotten a little easier to do. In late May, Donnelly and his staff moved out of their temporary Senate office in a cramped basement space with a single phone line and into permanent digs on the seventh floor of the Senate Hart Office Building.
"I think my office is bigger than my house back in South Bend," said Donnelly, a three-term congressman who had a much smaller office when he was in the House. He works to keep some perspective on his power: On a recent day after filling in as the presiding officer in the Senate — as junior Senators are called to do — Donnelly had one of his standard evening meals: a microwaved frozen dinner.
'Accidental senator'
The 56-year-old Democrat was labeled an "accidental senator" by political pundits last November after he won a seat securely held by Republican Sen. Richard Lugar for nearly 40 years. Donnelly's odds-favored opponent, Richard Mourdock, who beat Lugar in the primary, saw his campaign implode in the final weeks after comments he'd made about abortion and rape.
Donnelly, though, has taken an intentional approach to his work. Aware that Lugar, though a revered elder statesmen, was criticized for losing touch with Indiana and that Mourdock, a Tea Party favorite, was seen as an extremist, Donnelly has worked hard to convey the opposite.
In a recent interview with the Washington Post, for example, Donnelly made a point of telling the reporter of his frequent trips back to Indiana, where some of his best conversations with constituents took place in supermarkets.
Veteran political analyst Brian Howey, publisher of Howey Politics Indiana, said the political lessons from the 2012 election haven't been lost on Donnelly — or others.
"Donnelly has always made constituent service and outreach a priority, but 2012 burnished the concept not only with him, but the entire Indiana (congressional) delegation," Howey said.
In Washington, Donnelly has embraced the role he played in the House of a political moderate, fiscally conservative "Blue Dog Democrat" willing to work across the aisle to break partisan gridlock.
Last month, Donnelly, the grandson of Irish immigrants, withheld his support for the Democrat-favored immigration reform bill until it included an amendment to beef up border security that made the legislation more palatable to some his Republican colleagues.
He's also joined Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine in several efforts to amend the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. That included a plea to the Obama administration to delay a provision of the ACA that requires employers with 50 or more workers to provide health insurance coverage to their full-time employees or risk a series of escalating tax penalties. That delay was granted last week.
Donnelly said those efforts with Collins, who'd originally opposed the healthcare law, stems from conversations with small business owners around Indiana who complained the ACA requirements were too complicated and difficult to implement in time. But they also stem from his shared frustration with Collins over the bitter and unyielding partisan divide over the ACA law.
"You've had some folks on one side saying, 'We don't like the health care law so we're not going to do anything to try to improve it,'" Donnelly said. "And on the Democrat side, you had people say, "There are problems with it, but we don't want to talk about them and we don't want to fix them, we've just got to keep the wagons circled and plow forward.'
"And I thought to myself, both of those positions are completely unreflective of reality."
Unusual publicity
Both his vote on the immigration reform bill and his work with Collins garnered Donnelly more national media attention than a freshman senator would usually get, said Andrew Downs, head of the non-partisan Mike Downs Center for Politics at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne.
Over the past month, Donnelly has been named or quoted by political reporters in the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal.
Downs doesn't expect that attention to diminish, given Donnelly's unexpected win that put him in the Senate and the $51 million spent by all sides — including many outside forces — in the race for the seat Donnelly now holds.
"He's one of those people that (media) folks will want to follow," Downs said. "He's got an interesting story."
Donnelly cringes at the notion.
"That's certainly not my focus," he said. "We have a saying here: No senator in Indiana ever made a lot of progress in Indiana by being the darling of the New York Times or the Washington Post."

In Memory of DennisPosted Thursday, May 21, 2009, at 2:43 PM
We're preparing for Memorial Weekend.
I've heard it said that every generation has its wars. My father's generation fought in World War II. The generation between my father and I had the Korean and Vietnam conflicts.
My generation's war has been with AIDS.
I've known hundreds of Americans who have died of the disease. I did my hospital chaplaincy training in 1978 and often look back on those occasional patients where no treatment would work; in hindsight that's easier to understand. I returned to Indiana in 1981 and watched as HIV and AIDS began taking life after life in the churches and communities in which I served.
In 1990 I took training at the Damien Center in Indianapolis to be a "buddy" to people who might need assistance.
Dennis was the third person to which I was assigned. A brilliant African American man first diagnosed in 1987, he became wheelchair bound and had to go on disability after several opportunistic infections left him affected for the rest of his life. When first assigned to him in 1991 I found a man who was told he had only months at best to live. As one of the first trial patients on "the cocktail" of multiple medications, his physical existence suddenly improved and the doctors told him he might live a couple of years.
He died earlier this month, one of the longest living persons with AIDS in the state of Indiana.
Initially Dennis had so many needs that there were two "buddies" assigned to assist him; oddly enough both of us have ended up living in Greencastle. After the success of "the cocktail" Dennis returned to being self-sufficient. He found a company that attached hand devices so that he could drive his car. He volunteered throughout the western part of the state as much as he could. He gave presentations to mental health counselors in training on life as a person on disability.
But even with his improved physical condition he had lost the quality of his life. He lost the career he worked hard to achieve. He saw his disability income remain fixed as the economy and prices grew. And even with good insurance he saw the price of his medications go out of his reach. He had finally spent two consecutive Christmases away from any hospital and had the goal of doing so this Christmas.
Earlier in my ministry I struggled with giving certain people sympathy or help. I had smokers who came down with lung cancer and obese people who lost limbs from diabetes. A friend of mine drove an ambulance and changed my outlook. She said that when arriving upon a car crash they never asked which driver had caused it, whether any of the drivers were drunk, or if any of the drivers had fallen asleep at the wheel. She said their reason to be there was simply to help, not to judge, and now I think of that every time I see an ambulance go by.
My generation has lost hundreds of thousands of good people from AIDS. It's been a devastating war that has cost us some of the best minds and talents of a generation.
It no longer stays just a national concern when you personally know someone who has died of the disease. Instead, the loss becomes ... tragic.
When my father was able he would visit the graves of fellow veterans on Memorial Day. I don't have such a geographical place to visit.
Instead, I will pause, light a flame, and remember the many names and faces. I have a plaque that reads "Never regret growing old; it's a privilege denied to many."
This weekend, we are the privileged.

Rev. P.T. Wilson,
First and foremost I love reading your blogs and I want to personally thank you for writing this one especially. As a former resident of Greencastle, a graduate of Greencastle High School, Instructor of Sociology/ Gender Studies at DePaul University and Roosevelt University in Chicago as well as a striving PhD student with my focus in Sociology/Gender studies there are not enough people who are willing to write on this topic. I too have had 8 close friends pass on from this disease.I also work for a non-profit organization here in Chicago- for my research purposes I see hundreds of people on a monthly basis struggling with HIV/AIDS, it is difficult to watch people you know pass on but it too is harder knowing someone struggling with it, especially in the areas of race/ethnicity, social class, gender, etc. Even though the medical field continues to progress, infection with HIV is serious, people with HIV and AIDS are living longer, healthier lives today, thanks to new and effective treatments. However, education is valuable; I developed and incorporated HIV awareness seminars in my 101 Intro courses. Many of my students know about the disease but are unaware of the outcomes and various measures to prevent the disease. Schools and parents need to address these issues both objectively and subjectively. Research is key, medical issues are key, but most importantly family and education are number one. For additional information on the disease and ways to prevent it I recommend taking a look at the AVERT website http://www.avert.org/america.htm.

Caring Marjorie celebrates her 100th birthday
9:03am Tuesday 20th November 2012 in News
MARJORIE Hope Metcalfe has celebrated her 100th birthday with a family get together, at Heron Hill Care Home.
Born in October, 1912, at Horse Market, Kirkby Lonsdale she has devoted all her life to her family and friends.
The eldest daughter of Richard and Maria Major, Mrs Metcalfe said she has always got more pleasure from giving rather than receiving.
In 1936 she married Bill Metcalfe, a businessman in Kirkby Lonsdale. The couple had three children and she dedicated her time to looking after the family and business until retirement. Always active, she spent many hours caring for and helping her brothers and sister, as well as many friends as an integral part of the local amateur dramatics group and Young Conservatives.
Mrs Metcalfe was widowed 35 years ago, she lost one son shortly after birth and her second son, Barrie, 24 years ago.
She continued to live independently, in Kirkby Lonsdale, until 2005, when she moved to Hartland House, Milnthorpe.
In 2009, she moved to Heron Hill Care Home at Kendal, which helped her celebrate her 100th birthday with a buffet.

That's been posted before and it is cute article but, of course, the ships they are mostly hijacking aren't fishing vessels or garbage scows but supertankers and container ships that are not a "threat" to Somolians or their way of life but merely the richest targets in the water. They're bandits no matter how they think of themselves.
I was stunned when the president of the company that owns the Miersk ship now involved in the dispute said the only thing on the ship to repel pirates were firehoses. 'Scuse me? These pirates are coming with AK-47s, rocket launchers and speedboats and you're going to fend them off with firehoses? Maybe it's time to put a few M-60s on the boats as a deterrent.
I thought they had rotating warlords for the last couple decades. None of them stay in power long enough to be considered a stable government.

Rosalee Calvert is a Fuchsbau, apothecary, and Monroe's wife. She first appeared in "Island of Dreams".
Rosalee Calvert is an apothecary and Fuchsbau of the Portland community. When she was younger, she tried to follow in her parents' footsteps to become an apothecary, but at the time, she didn't like the job. Rosalee went through a rough patch of seven years where she was addicted to drugs, specifically Jay, which she bought from Cecil as well as the gang North End Crew. On one occasion, she was arrested for shoplifting a watch and served time in jail for it, during which her father passed away and she missed his funeral, which she was unaware of until after she was released from jail and her mother and sister were no longer speaking to her. After those seven years of bad behavior, Rosalee cleaned up her act and moved to Seattle, only returning after her brother Freddy's death. It's upon her return to Portland that Rosalee meets her husband, Monroe.
Season 1Edit
"Island of Dreams"Edit
Rosalee gets a call from Nick Burkhardt of the Portland Police Department, informing her that her brother, Freddy, was murdered recently in an attempted robbery of his shop. Rosalee comes to Portland from her home in Seattle to say goodbye to her brother. After requesting to visit Freddy's spice shop, Nick takes her as it has been cleared by forensics, and as she crouches down on the carpet splattered in her brother's blood, Nick sees Rosalee in her Fuchsbau form, and she realizes he is a Grimm. He tells her he isn't the one who killed her brother, but that he is going to do his best to find out who did. He hands her his card, and leaves her alone in the shop.
That evening, Nick and Monroe visit Rosalee in the shop where Nick introduces them before asking her if they can take a look in the basement to see if there's anything of value that a Wesen would kill for. They take a look around and Monroe finds a bottle of Jay, which he explains is a dangerous drug that causes an 'opiate-like effect' on Wesen. Nick asks Rosalee if she knew if Freddy was selling it, and she gets a little defensive and points out that it is not illegal, which Monroe confirms. Just as he and Nick are about to leave, Rosalee grabs Monroe's arm and woges before him. Monroe, too, woges into his Blutbad form and Rosalee tells him she was just checking to see if he really knew her brother. She then says she is still trying to figure out how this friendship between Nick and Monroe manages to work.
Later that night, Rosalee calls Nick from her brother's house to tell him that the two men who murdered her brother showed up at the shop, but she managed to escape before they could hurt her, too. Nick brings her to the precinct where she identifies the two men and asks Nick how he's kept the fact that he is a Grimm from his coworkers. She then requests that Nick asks Monroe to watch over her rather than Hank because she and Monroe have something in common. The following morning, Rosalee awakes Monroe and says she's heading back to the shop, which Monroe doesn't think is a very good idea, but he still follows after her. At the shop, Wu arrives in the middle of a conversation between Monroe and Rosalee, sweating and sputtering before collapsing on the floor. Rosalee, with Monroe's help, makes a cure for Wu, saying that when she was about 17, she'd seen her father trying to cure someone who was having the same reaction as Wu. She tells Nick and Monroe that Wu had ingested a Zaubertrank that wasn't meant for him, which caused the symptoms.
After Monroe and Rosalee take Wu back to his home, Nick asks Rosalee where addicts would go to get more Jay because he has a feeling she would know. She then admits that she was addicted to Jay for seven years before she cleaned up and moved to Seattle.
After Nick and Monroe exit the Trauminsel, one of the men who murdered Rosalee's brother aims a gun at Monroe. Rosalee then emerges from around a corner and saves Monroe's life by hitting the murderer on the head with a brick. The next day, Monroe shows up at the shop with a bouquet of flowers in hand. He tells her that it isn't an equal trade for his life, but Rosalee smiles and takes the flowers from him, telling him that she hasn't gotten flowers from anyone in a long time. Seeing that he has the rest of the day free, he offers to stay for a while and help her set up the shop, and she gladly takes the offer.
"The Thing With Feathers"Edit
Rosalee helps Nick to get the Unbezahlbar out of Robin Steinkellner's throat, by reading the directions out of one of the books in her shop. She is also the one who tells Nick the correct name for the stone in Robin's throat.
"Love Sick"Edit
She helps locate a cure for the curse Adalind Schade put on Hank. She and Monroe are up most of the night searching for the correct Zaubertrank, until Rosalee finds it. She tells Nick that Adalind's Hexenbiest spirit can only be destroyed by the blood of a Grimm.
"Cat and Mouse"Edit
Rosalee enters her Exotic Spice store to open shop, and is surprised by a mysterious person, who turns out to be an old friend, Ian, who had been shot by a bounty hunter (Edgar Waltz). Rosalee fixes up his bullet wound with the help of Monroe. Monroe finds out while he is there that Rosalee had a romantic relationship with Ian, and that she had also been part of the resistance. She calls Nick over and she and Monroe explain that Ian had an alibi and so did not murder a bartender (which he had been suspected of). She then goes to Reginald and asks for some papers for Ian so he can leave the country. When she returns for the papers, Edgar follows her back to the shop. Rosalee opens the envelope from Reginald to find an included note warning about Edgar. She calls Monroe, but Edgar arrives and takes the phone, threatening to kill Rosalee if Monroe didn't bring Ian back. Edgar is about to kill Rosalee when Nick arrives saying he has Ian. Monroe then also enters and says he has Ian, causing the two to fake argue, Nick pretending that he thinks Monroe is a Fuchsbau. Edgar asks Rosalee who she called and she replies "not a Fuchsbau". Monroe then Woges into a Blutbad and throws Edgar off, allowing them to take him down.
"Woman in Black"Edit
Nick leaves with Monroe to get Adalind Schade's cat from Juliette's veterinarian office, and takes it to Rosalee Calvert's apothecary for testing. Rosalee says they will try to figure out what is wrong by testing the cat but may need to test Juliette in order to be of any use. She starts by gassing the cat with valerian so she can check its claws and saliva.
Season 2Edit
"Bad Teeth"Edit
Monroe and Rosalee arrive at Nick's house, just after the fight with Akira Kimura, while he is talking with his mother about the car crash she supposedly died in. They are quite surprised at the destruction of Nick's house and Nick tells them that Kimura is responsible. Monroe and Rosalee realize that someone else is in the house by catching their scent, at first thinking it to be Kimura. Rosalee corrects Monroe by saying "That's not a him. It's a her." When Kelly attacks Monroe and pulls out a knife, Rosalee goes to attack but Nick pulls her back. They are both shocked when they are told Kelly is Nick's mother. Rosalee tells Nick that the spell that put Juliette into a coma is called L'espirit Ailleus which causes memory loss. Rosalee says that she and Monroe are working on the cure, but that it will take 16 hours for it to be ready. She speaks to Nick on the phone as he is about to face the Mauvais Dentes, saying the potion will only work for the next forty-five minutes.
"The Kiss"Edit
Rosalee and Monroe wait impatiently at the hospital while Kelly and Nick fight and kill the Mauvais Dentes. Just as they give up and head into the hospital, Nick and Kelly arrive. Rosalee instructs Nick to give Juliette six drops in each eye and tells him it will not wake her though, and there is no way to know if it has worked until she does awaken. She and Monroe drive Kelly home, and Rosalee tells Kelly about the events of Woman in Black and how she trusts Nick. She then hugs Kelly (to the surprise of Monroe). Rosalee is later threatened by Catherine in the Spice Shop and calls Nick to tell him.
Rosalee enters the spice shop to find it damaged with the cat having escaped its cage. She manages to get it outside when Monroe enters. They hear the squeal of tires and a MOW! It sounds like the cat has been hit by a car. Monroe asks her to go on a picnic with him. During the picnic they are attacked by an infected Stangebär. They manage to escape via Monroe's car and drive back to the spice shop. Once there, Rosalee begins to get very touchy with Monroe. She begins to heavily kiss him. Simultaneously, Monroe is speaking to Nick on the phone, who tells him about the symptoms of the infection (being extremely lovey). Monroe realizes that Rosalee is exhibiting this one symptom and promptly sees a scratch on her neck. Monroe hangs up and tells her that she is infected. While Monroe is making the antidote for the disease Rosalee breaks out the window of the spice store. At this point Nick has arrived at the store, along with Hank and the other infected Wesen. Nick goes after Rosalee in the back alley way. She then attacks him with a pair of scissors. Nick disarms her and knocks her unconscious. He then brings her back into the store and she is fed the antidote. She later wakes up and asks Monroe if they kissed, which he tells her that they did.
"Over My Dead Body"Edit
Rosalee goes over to Monroe's house for dinner. She and Monroe discover that they both like the same artist, and begin kissing. In the middle of this, they are interrupted by Angelina, and Rosalee leaves. She later apologises to Monroe over the phone, and tells Angelina, Nick, Hank and Monroe how to make the potion which will put Monroe into a living death. During this episode, she leaves to look after her aunt who has had a stroke. She is also notably relieved when she hears Monroe is alright after he takes the potion, and says she can finally sleep.
"The Bottle Imp"Edit
Rosalee calls Monroe, who is watching the Spice Shop for her, and informs him of an order placed by Leroy, a man with balance problems. When Monroe calls Rosalee later, he realises he made a mistake and she tells him that on a scale of "one to ten", mixing up Viscum Coloradum with Nepeta Asgresis is an "eleven", at which he decides to pay Leroy a visit.
"To Protect and Serve Man"Edit
Rosalee calls Monroe at the spice shop and says that her Aunt is getting better and she should be home in a week or so, Monroe has to end the call as Captain Renard comes into the shop. Rosalee says she'll call later.
"Face Off"Edit
Monroe receives a call at home from Rosalee, and he tells her about the Nick/Juliette/Renard drama. Rosalee figures out that Renard was the one who woke Juliette from her spell induced coma. ("The Kiss") She also tells Monroe that her Aunt is doing much better and that she is returning to Portland. Monroe tells her that he will meet her at the bus station when she arrives.
The next morning Nick and Monroe meet Rosalee at the bus station. Rosalee steps off the bus and greets Monroe with a kiss. She greets Nick and then tells them they need to get to the spice shop right away as she thinks she knows what the problem is.
At the shop, once again, Rosalee blends a batch of the potion for Nick to drink. At first Nick doesn't realize the side effects, but he then falls over and turns red in the same manner that Renard did when he took the Heart Purification Potion.
"Natural Born Wesen"Edit
Rosalee escorts Juliette and Captain Renard into another room while Monroe pricks Nick's thumb and takes a sample of his blood. Monroe gives the sample to Rosalee, who adds it to part of the potion she is making (just Juliette's) for Renard and Juliette.
Rosalee and Monroe talk about the bank robbers and the possibility of getting the Wesen Council involved. Monroe hopes it won't come to that. Rosalee addresses a meeting of very scared Wesen in the spice shop and promises that she will deal with the situation. They are scared that they will be the victims of a "witch hunt" after what happened in the bank robbery.
Monroe and Rosalee are talking about the meeting when she reveals that her father and her brother had a contact on the Council, she and Monroe search Freddy's papers and find the contact details and Rosalee makes the call.
"Mr. Sandman"Edit
While Nick, Hank, Monroe, and Rosalee are talking about Captain Renard, Nick says that he woged into a Hexenbiest. Rosalee says that as he is male, he is technically a Zauberbiest.
Juliette visits Rosalee at the spice shop and describes what is happening to her, and Juliette asks Rosalee to come over to see if she can see any of the things that she has been seeing, but when Rosalee comes over, she is unable to see any of the things Juliette has been seeing.
Later, Rosalee helps Nick after he gets blinded by Andre. She finds the cure for the Jinnamuru Xunte toxin, and once Andre is stopped, and Monroe scoops out his eye, Rosalee prepares the cure and administers it to Nick's eyes to help him regain his vision.
Monroe gives Rosalee a clock for the spice shop.
Rosalee and Monroe are enjoying a quiet evening at the spice shop when Juliette arrives and tells them about her visions of Nick. They accompany her home and when Monroe blurts out a reference to the trailer, Rosalee says that it may be necessary for Juliette to go there to see if that helps with her memory.
"One Angry Fuchsbau"Edit
Rosalee is on jury duty, and at the trial of Don Nidaria. When she leaves she goes to the spice shop to lay down. Monroe comes over, and she tells him she hasn't been feeling well and that at the court, she felt one way about the case, but suddenly was leaning the other way.
Once Monroe discovers that the defense attorney, Barry Kellogg is a Ziegevolk, he calls Nick and Hank to the courthouse and tells him what he discovered. Back at the spice shop, they tell Rosalee what's going on and they start looking for a way to stop him. Rosalee discovers that Ziegevolk have a special gland and finds a neutralizing potion. She makes the potion and give it to Monroe to inject into one of Kellogg's toads before he eats it.
Rosalee, as the jury foreperson, announces the guilty verdict, meaning that Kellogg couldn't sway the jury with his pheromones, and that the potion worked.
Everyone is celebrating in the back room of the spice shop and Kellogg comes to the spice shop for help. Rosalee comes out of the back room, and Kellogg recognizes her from the jury and accuses her of poisoning him. He woges and attacks her, but Monroe woges, grabs Kellogg, and throws him into shelf of supplies while defending her.
Rosalee and Monroe are talking in Monroe's kitchen about whether Monroe should invite his parents to Portland. He is unsure because Nick might cut off their heads as they are not Wieder Blutbaden. They start kissing and Nick arrives back, causing Rosalee to agree that it may not be such a good idea at this time.
Rosalee is in her shop when Nick comes in to ask about Glühenvolk. She says that she thought they were extinct, as they were hunted for their luminescent skins, and that when she was little, she thought that seeing one was good luck and that she thought they looked beautiful. When Nick tells her about the cow ovaries she produces a book and says the there are two of them, because the female is pregnant and the male must be doing the hunting. When Nick tells her that there have been 27 attacks, she states that the female must be about to give birth. Monroe then walks in and Rosalee tells him about the Glühenvolk. She says that they must help them, and insists that Monroe and her are going with Nick.
When they find George Lazure's trailer and enter, Rosalee finds a knife that she identifies as a fleshing knife. Rosalee then finds the bottle of Sauver Sa Peau and Monroe says that if a Wesen is shot with the bullets, the bullets will kill the Wesen, but the potion would cause the Wesen to remain in full woge after death for 6-8 hours. As they leave the trailer, Rosalee pours the Sauver Sa Peau down the sink and Monroe takes the bullets.
When they arrive at the cabin where Jocelyn is, Rosalee introduces herself, Monroe, and Nick, and explains that they are there to help. When Jocelyn woges, Rosalee declares that she is beautiful. Jocelyn then starts to go into labor and Rosalee takes charge. Nick goes to get the first aid kit from his SUV and Rosalee instructs Monroe to hold Jocelyn's hand. Rosalee then delivers the baby as Vincent returns. When Lazure confronts them, she, along with Monroe and Vincent woge and challenge him. It is Nick's revelation that he is a Grimm that distracts him sufficiently, so that Monroe can attack, and Nick can grab Lazure's gun to shoot and kill him after Lazure knocks Monroe out.
Rosalee, along with Nick and Monroe wish Vincent, Jocelyn, and the baby good luck as they drive away in Lazure's truck on their way to Alaska.
"Kiss of the Muse"Edit
Hank consults with Rosalee and Monroe regarding Nick's strange behavior. He shows them the picture that Nick drew of Khloe Sedgwick's woged form in the bar, but neither know what kind of Wesen they are dealing with. They all go to the trailer which fascinates and intrigues Rosalee until Monroe points out that its purpose is to aid Grimms in the killing of Wesen. After awhile, they figure out that Khloe is a Musai.
Now that she knows the type of Wesen involved, Rosalee is able to use the books in the spice shop to discover more about Musai, including the fact that there is no known antidote to the effect. Rosalee theorizes that as the effect is like love, that the only cure would be the real thing. Juliette then arrives asking for the key to the trailer, and Rosalee convinces Monroe to give it to her.
Juliette returns from visiting the trailer, Monroe and Rosalee then attempt to explain what is wrong with Nick. They say that it is similar to what happened to her, but that she is the cure, not a potion that Rosalee could concoct. All three then go the the precinct to find Nick.
"The Waking Dead"Edit
Rosalee is in working in her shop when Monroe, Bud and Juliette arrive. Monroe explains that Juliette has asked to see what woge is, and they thought that it would be best if they demonstrated where medical attention would be nearby if required. Rosalee woges first, followed by Bud and finally Monroe.
Nick calls in before going for a dinner with Juliette, Rosalee explains that Juliette has seen all three of them woge.
"Goodnight, Sweet Grimm"Edit
Rosalee goes for dinner at Monroe's house. They discuss that Nick may not be home for a while, which leads to them making out. They begin kissing. Rosalee woges into her Fuchsbau form, and Monroe says, "You're so hot," before they resume kissing.
Rosalee is in the spice shop with Monroe when Nick and Hank bring Al in. When Nick tells her that they are dealing with a Cracher-Mortel she looks in the books and finds a cure. She and Monroe start to make the cure while Nick and Hank leave. Once the cure has been made she administers it using a Piqure-Gigantesque.
Nick returns with Juliette and gives her his key to hide, and then Rosalee, Monroe, Nick and Juliette make more antidote and head out to the container yard. At the yard she administers the cure to a couple of people, then flees from the zombies to the car with Monroe and Juliette.
Season 3Edit
"The Ungrateful Dead"Edit
After Monroe crashes the car, she follows him and Juliette up the crane onto the container where she fights with the others to prevent the zombies reaching the top.
Once the police led by Sergeant Wu arrive and contain the zombies she says that there is a cure, but she will have to manufacture it.
She returns to the spice shop with Monroe and Juliette, where when Monroe breaks a flask she says that another way of delivering the antidote would be as a gas. Juliette works out how to achieve this and all three start producing the cure.
They return to the container yard and she tells a disbelieving Wu and Franco about the cure and while Monroe attracts the zombies away from the entrance to the container by banging on the wall, tells them to open the container and throw in the antidote in breakable bottles.
At the roadside bar she says that Nick's smell is different, but she does not know what it signifies.
Rosalee accompanies Captain Renard and Juliette into the bar and views the scene. She leaves with the others to attend the report of a disturbance at a nearby home.
At the home, Rosalee, Captain Renard and Juliette hear that Monroe and Hank have Nick trapped in the barn. when they hear Nick breaking free, she enters the barn with the others.

During dinner DeEtta does her best to ruin the reunion, including insulting Monroe's heritage and job.

Rosalee and Monroe also explain about Umkippen. After Nick and Hank leave Rosalee suggests to Monroe that they investigate the Carnival, when Monroe is unsure, she says it would be better than Nick going as Grimm, Monroe agrees and they go to the Carnival.

Genvieve thanks Monroe and Rosalee for their help as they drive away to get help for Max.
Rosalee and Monroe are at home planning their wedding when Nick arrives. Nick tells them that he thinks it is too dangerous for him to be best man at the wedding, because of the risk of a fight if he is identified as a Grimm. Rosalee and Monroe tell him that the way they can tell that he is a Grimm is because his eyes turn black and reflect their Wesen nature back to them. They suggest to Nick that if he wears sunglasses this would hide his eyes. Nick puts on his sunglasses and they woge to test the theory. The experiment is successful, so Nick is happy to be best man.
Later, Rosalee and Juliette go shopping for a wedding dress.

"Love is in the Air"Edit
Rosalee is helping Juliette to lay out the food and drinks for a spa party at Juliette's home. When the host arrives, to the surprise of the ladies, it is a man. Rosalee, Juliette and the other guests decide that they don't mind as he is good looking.
Part way through the party Juliette shows Rosalee a frog she found in the kitchen. Rosalee immediately realizes what this means, a Ziegevolk is present. They guess that Madison, the male host is the Ziegevolk and discuss what to do. Rosalee tells Juliette that she has most of the ingredients to make the pheromone antidote in her car, the only other requirement is the Ziegevolk's sweat.
By turning up the central heating they are able to make Madison sweat while wearing a sleep mask. Rosalee then uses the sweat to make the potion in a blender. They disguise the potion as a smoothy and hand them round with Madison getting the special one.
After the spa party is over, Madison is leaving and Juliette's friend Roni is about to leave with him when Juliette attempts to stop her. Roni tells Juliette that she is okay and she inadvertently woges into a Ziegevolk as she does so. Rosalee is so stunned to see a female Ziegevolk that Roni and Madison are able to leave before they can warn him.
First and foremost, Rosalee is a Fuchsbau and also one of Nick's more prominent Wesen friends. Hence, she has the power to shift into her true Wesen form when forced to exert herself or when under stress While in this state, her senses, particularly her sense of smell becomes very acute, on par with Monroe's.
Rosalee is also a talented apothecary, and well-versed in multiple forms of ancient remedies. This effectively makes her among the more intellectual members of Nick's friends.

Phone app keeps teens from texting while driving
Parents can set 'no cell zone' restrictions, monitor speed, location
SAN ANTONIO - Texting and driving is a big concern for parents of teen drivers. According to the Texas Transportation Institute, it increases the likelihood of being in a crash 23-fold.
As the mother of a teen driver, Jennifer Davis has worries about her daughter, Carson.
"They have a million texts all day long so it's very different than when we were driving as teenagers," she said.
Now there's an app that can help ease parents worries, called tXtBlocker.
The app is downloaded to the teen drivers phone. Parents can set up driving settings and set up no cell zone parameters on their computer.
The app blocks texts and calls in restricted areas. Parents can even receive alerts when their teen is speeding and can track their location.
"I think the app is a wonderful idea," said David. "I think parents really need to see what they're kids are doing."
The app is one of several emerging technologies that limit distracted driving.
Russell Henk, with the Texas Transportation Institute, said, "I think it can help. It's part of the solution. It's part of what we need in the safety toolbox to help us get through the next 5 to 10 years."
Of course, not all teens like the idea of being monitored.
"It would be down factor," said Teri Meador, "I wouldn't get the app. I wouldn't want to."
If the app is deleted, parents receive an alert.
Right now the text blocker app is only available on certain types of phones, like Android and Blackberry.
tXtBlocker blocker pricing starts at $6.99 a month.

Your doctor may find signs of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) during a physical examination. These include:
Your doctor may also rely on one or more of the following tests to diagnose PVD:
In addition to these tests, your doctor can help identify your risk of heart attack and stroke. You may undergo a variety of tests aimed at assessing your risk for these problems, including:
Treatment for peripheral vascular disease may include:
MedicationYour physician may recommend medication to treat conditions that worsen or complicate leg artery disease. These medications may include cholesterol- or blood pressure-lowering drugs or medications that reduce blood clotting to minimize the chances of clots blocking narrowed arteries.
Lifestyle ChangesYour physician might recommend that you exercise and walk regularly, stop smoking, and change to a low-fat diet. All of these changes may help improve your symptoms.
In more severe cases, lifestyle and medication may not be enough to improve your symptoms, and your physician may recommend surgical or minimally invasive treatments. Treatment decisions depend on the pattern and extent of the blockages as well as other factors, such as your general health and the presence of other medical conditions.
Bypass SurgeryThis procedure creates a detour around a narrowed or blocked section of a leg artery. To create this bypass, your vascular surgeon uses one of your veins or a tube made from man-made materials. The bypass is attached above and below the area that is blocked, creating a new path for blood to flow to your leg tissues.
EndarectomyYour vascular surgeon makes an incision in your leg and removes the plaque contained in the inner lining of the diseased artery. This leaves a wide open artery and restores blood through your leg artery.
Angioplasty and stentingLess invasive than surgery, this procedure involves inserting a long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter into a small puncture over an artery in your arm or groin. The catheter is guided through your arteries to the blocked area. Once in place, a special balloon attached to the catheter is inflated and deflated several times, pushing the plaque in your artery against your artery walls, widening the vessel. In some cases, a tiny mesh-metal tube, called a stent, is permanently placed into the narrowed area of your artery to keep it open and allow blood to flow through freely.
AmputationAs a last resort in extreme cases, your surgeon may recommend amputating your lower leg or foot. It is usually performed only when the circulation in your leg is severely reduced and cannot be improved through the methods discussed above.
