At the stage of the 24th Latvian Song and Dance Festival, Riga
Song Festival is probably the most monumental nationwide cultural event in Latvia.
Every four years amateur choirs, after months of diligent rehearsals, get together from all over the country to unite in one single singing organism. Held last time in summer 2008, the open-air stage at Mezaparks welcomed some 12 000 singers with the most stunning a Capella performance one can ever imagine.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Toledo City Councilman Rob
Ludeman is accusing the Bell administration of playing dirty, after a list was
released revealing which members of council have not paid their water bills.
The list was released just
days after council met to discuss a controversial new $200 water deposit that
the administration decided to impose on new homeowners.
Many council members felt
that the administration hadn't been up-front with them when it came to the new
utility changes.
Now Ludeman said someone
from within the administration compiled this list and he wants to know who.
"Should they pay their
water bills? Yes, they should pay their bills," he said of those on the list. "However,
this is not about paying bills. This is about driving a wedge and trying to
embarrass people."
The list shows that five
out of 12 council members are delinquent in their water bills: Adam Martinez,
Mike Craig, Shaun Enright, Lindsay Webb, and Tyrone Riley. Riley owes the most –
over $5,000 on different properties.
"The need for cooperation between the
administration is always there," Ludeman said. "And I think this, in one fell
swoop, drives a wedge between the administration and city council, and I think
it's going to potentially escalate from there."
For his part, Mayor Mike
Bell said the list was compiled to make sure no one on council had a conflict
of interest when discussing the water deposit. He said his administration did
not release the list nor talk about it, it was for informational purposes only.
The list also included
Mayor Bell and Public Utilities Director Dave Welch – both are caught up on
their bills now.

Autaugua County and Prattville have a new mobile app to keep residents informed.
City and county agencies will be able to instantly notify citizens of dangers and emergencies through the ping4alerts! app.
The app is available to the public in the iPhone app store and the Google Play Store.
Monthly alerts will be sent out for weather siren testing and possibly public meetings.
"The County had a need and after assessing several solutions, Ping4Alerts! was the most feature-rich, allowed multiple agencies to use it concurrently, and was the most cost-effective," Autauga EMA Director Ernie Baggett said. "We are especially proud to be the first agencies in the State of Alabama to implement this service."

Thanks to Shane(sixpoint) for the trade.
Appears a deep, dark, hazy amber with a small white cap that slowly fades into a mild head. Tons of scattered lacing is left around the glass.
Smell is of candi sugar, raisin bread, caramel, mild cocoa...to me it seems Saint-Bernardus like.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with ripe fruit, raisins, and brown sugar pulling the flavors together.
Mouthfeel is medium-full bodied, lip smacking, and sweet.

Thanks to weareks138 for sharing this!
Poured a medium and hazy amber color with a small szed off white head. Aromas of dark fruits, caramel, bananas, and some yeastiness. Tastes of dark fruits, light citrus, caramel, and spices. Overall the alcohol content was well hidden.

22oz bomber from Bierkraft courtesy of mikeyv35 poured into a snifter.
Pours fairly light for a quad, a hazy caramel orange with a small, short-lived cream-colored head that recedes to a collar and leaves spotty lacing.
The aroma is boozy and sweet with lots of spices. Tons of yeasty sweetness in the nose which also lends a bit of spiciness as well. There are alcohol-soaked fruits as well.
The taste also has lots of initial sweetness from yeast and candi sugar with a big dose of fruit in the middle. The finish is an interesting combination of coriander and spicy yeast combined with a subtle alcohol burn that builds up after each sip. Interesting and complex taste.
The mouthfeel is thick and almost syrupy with soft carbonation and just coats the palate with fruity sweetness.
I certainly can't compare this to most quads I've had but I definitely liked it though the massive sweetness and high ABV lend itself to be more of a sipper.

(From notes)
A - Really bright orangey copper color, and looks quite different most most other Quads....this is much lighter in color, but still interesting looking.
S - Spices and even catch some bubblegum; light fruit; yeasty
T - Tart at first with a hint of sour fruit; great maltiness; darker fruit flavors; and spices finish it out. Lots of layers
M - A little syrupy, and much heavier than the appearance suggests. Fairly light carbonation
D - Hugely drinkable even though it's more like a sipper for me. Couldn't even tell the abv was 11.3%.
Overall, a really interesting take on the style and thought this was a unique brew. Highly recommended.

Been waiting to try this one for quite some time.
Into my new Westvleteren glass it goes. Clouded brown hued orange. Thin creme head. Nose is dough, floral, and mildly spiced. Smooth, smooth, smooth, smooth flavor. This is 11.3%? Really? Dough tones are there. Mild mature fruits. Spices as well. Very, very slight alcohol burn in the back, but it's barely there. And I would have expected a lot more. Feel is very smooth on liquid. Nearly silky smooth. Carbonation is low and smooth as well. This is a very easy drinking quad. I think some time might make this a bit more interesting, but it sure is nice now. Highly suggested.

Received this brew from brewdogmrb as an extra in a recent trade. Whata guy! This will be my first brew from Sixpoint and look forward to the opportunity. Drank from my Ithaca Excelsior tulip.
Poured from a Bierkraft counter pressured filled bottle.
Appearance- Pours a dark crimson brown with a nice one fingered bright white head that recedes fairly quickly leaving no cap and thin collar with no lacing.
Smell- Dark and rich. Starts with some raw cocoa powder and ground nutty peanuts. A bit of caramel or dark brown sugar with just a hint of smoke. Loads of dark fruits as it warms and especially prunes. My grandma would love the smell of this beer. Also a light flowery aspect to the nose. Lilac and rose are detectable.
Taste- Weird but tasty. Starts with a ton of dark fruits consisting of raisins, prunes, dates and figs. A slight bit of smoke and cardboard and some super raw and gritty cocoa nibs. Maybe a tiny bit of brown sugar but no sweetness what-so-ever. Slightly earthy and/or dirty with a green apple like kick that is almost quenching. There is this every so light funkiness that is weird but I find it sort of enjoyable. The best way I can describe it is sweat... Gross I know.
Mouthfeel- Medium feel with a light cream and sharp aggressive carbonation.
Drinkability- No f'n way this thing is over 11%. Even after it warms it doesn't feel like it's a hair over 6-7%. Seriously. The alcohol is hidden better than any beer I've ever tried before. What I also love is that this thing isn't anywhere near sweet like some Quads (especially American versions) can be. Granted its different, but a damned good different. Mucho gracias Mike!

Growler purchased from Bierkraft in Brooklyn.
Appearance: Tangerine with honey corners. Nice fluffy 3 finger buttery white head. Lots of retention and lacing.
Smell: Tart green apples and grapes coupled with a nice belgian style yeast. Touch of molasses and lemon.
Taste: Bready in the beginning but gives way quickly to the tartness of green apples, grapes and lemons. Soon you get a plum/fig/honey combination and a tart finish that lasts a long time.
Mouthfeel: Oily and slick with a good amount of carbonation. Medium bodied and a touch light for the style.
Drinkability: The light body, generous carbonation, and strong tart quality which masks the alcohol makes this an extremely drinkable 11.3% brew.
Home Run Sixpoint!

On-tap at the Gingerman Bar in NYC...
For starters, anyone not familiar with Sixpoint Craft Ales should brush up on their drinking... An excellent, top-of-the-line craft brewery from New York, all of their products are top-notch stuff...
Their quadrupel pours a toasted amber hue, minimal head, and minor lacing...
Smell: Light in both smell and taste for a Quad... Alcohol hard to detect... Hints of pears, fruits, well-balanced with a sweet finish...
Taste: ripe pears, cotton candy, malts, and honey...
Great stuff...

4.28/5 rDev +0.5%
Appearance: Arrives with a cloudy apricot color and a modest head that leaves a few shards of lace
Smell: Tart fruit, with a green apple character and a Belgian yeast profile
Taste: Tart fruit up front, with green apple and caramel to keep the flavors in check; a bit of hot toddy spice, too, such as clove and cinnamon; after the swallow, the yeast profile increases the beer's tartness, but the underlying caramel aspect keeps the flavors well balanced
Mouthfeel: Full bodied with low to moderate carbonation; a bit syrupy
Drinkability: With the mouthfeel is a bit thick, this is a very interesting quad that avoids the cloying sweetness and high alcohol of some of Belgium's finest

12 oz. bottle poured into my new Selin's Grove Goblet.
Pours a murky and dark molasses with a pillowy small bubbled one finger head that takes forever to descend. This beer has crazy head retention. Smell is a crazy bouquet of floral citrus, dates, raisins, grapes, and brown sugar. So clean and crisp on the nosel Big caramel apple straight from the NYS Fair in Syracuse taste with a smokey graham cracker background. Wine grape flavors throughout, almost like a Finger Lakes Riesling sweetness. Caramel sugar aftertaste with some hefty yeast characteristics. Fluffy and creamy mouthfeel with a smooth carbonation. This is my first Belgian beer from Sixpoint, and I hope not my last. This beer proves the guys at Sixpoint know what they're doing. A big quad with amazing complexities from some boys down in Brooklyn, I love it.

Courtesy of CRJMellor, my '06 Secret Santa. A 12 oz. hand-bottled brew.
Pours deep reddish amber with a a small 1 finger head, retains a thin amount around the edges. The smell is hard to discern (due to some recent sinus issues) but the first whiff was quite pleasant, rich with maybe bread and caramel? Hell, I knew it was gonna be good. Tastes amazing, 'big', malty, sweet (caramel? date?), slight yeast - very well balanced. There may be just the faintest tart fruitiness to the finish, but to me it is quite pleasant and adds to the complexity. Rich mouthfeel. Alcohol is well masked.
Damn this is good! definitely reccomended, and worth seeking out.

This was served in a large mouth wine glass 10oz. Got it at barcade in brooklyn. Apparently this was aged for one year in the keg at barcade.
A - I describe my beer like i describe my women... Beautiful. Dark brown and almost ruby. Its somewhere in the middle as far as opaqueness. Slightly cloudy.
S - Dates, Plums, Fruit. Small head that dissipated quickly. Good carbonation, not overpowering.
T - I can almost describe this as similar to a rodenbach mixed with a grand crue type of thing. Unique and special for sure.
M - Smooth. Warming on the way down. Starts smooth and has a bit of a sour taste goin on.
D - Very drinkable. Even at 11.3, its drinkable. Dangerous.
Another great Sixpoint Brew. If only they sold bottles of this and the Grand Crue, i would be a happy man.

Poured out a slightly hazy golden amber color. Big thick white head. Nose has alcohol, some spice, hops, and some barnyard notes. The taste is bigand bold, bready, sweet, caramel, alcohol, raisins, and a tiny bit of sour cherry. Has amouthfeel tha's a tad foamy, and an oily finish that lasts a long time.

Red-brown color resembling slightly browned cranberries. Forms a very small head.
Smell is of fruits like apples plums, cherries with some floral hint as well.
Taste is a sweet-sour multi-layered assault on the tongue. It starts with a sweet fruitiness and then a dry crisp finish. The fruits are the same as noticed in the scent.
Mouthfeel is slightly resinous and this is extremely drinkable especially considering the high abv. An excellent American version of a classic Belgian style beer.

This is a spectacularly complex beer. I have had it on-tap at TPH three times, and it wasn't until the third that I felt I had a grasp on it. This is my 50th review, so I have been saving it for something special. Ok, now for the nitty gritty:
My beer was served in an oversized tulip...relatively pale in color, for a "Quad" (to be addressed later). It had a nice head, and the smell had an enticing fruitiness. The taste is great. I would say that the overwhelming flavor is apple, although I did not come to this conclusion until the third time I sampled this beer. There is a slight hop taste, although more balancing than overwhelming. It is fruity, but not in the Belgian-yeasty type of way; there is definitely something unique about this beer...I just cannot pin-point it. The 11%+ alcohol is absurdly well-hidden. I could drink pint glass after pint glass of this beer, enjoy it, and not think twice.
This beer is far from a classic quad. If I were to drink it without an accompanying catergorization, I would be lost. In this review I treated it as simply a "beer." This may be the brewer's take on a quad, but I am not buying it.

Had on tap from the Sunset grill and tap in Allston, Mass. Was presented to me in a 13oz. toulip glass the beer was a light brown slightly amber color with one finger of white head atop the beer. No signs of carbonation streams on the glass but an excellent sheet of lace.
The smell has the aroma of alcohol and some softer fruit. Fig and surpisingly apple and orange were in the nose. Not expected but actually very pleasent.
The taste was complex but well balanced. A subtle warming from the alcohol is the inntial sensation on the palate but this gives way to the fruit taste. A very soft apple is predominant in the taste. Not tart, but rather sublte and slightly sweet finish. A heftly malt character makes this a sturdy and slightly filling beer.
Medium to heavy mouthfeel with moderate carbonation.
Very enjoyable and potent. The alc. kicks in as the beer warms and the fruit flavors are more effectively pulled out at the warmer temps as well. A pleasure to drink and a nice domestic example of a quad.

scouring these reviews, it's hard to find someone with a real grasp on this beer. people like it, but i think the alcohol gets to 'em before they have a chance to really wrap their tongue around this interesting creation.. ill give it a try, let's hope the demons of abv don't get to me before i can get to this review..
12oz homebrew-style bottle "i handbottled all them shits!"
slightly cloudy amber pour, with highlights from yellow to orange to red. thin taut layer of foam, bubble clusters and picturesque belgie quality. nose shocks, completely, with tripely hits of buttery diacetyl.. weyerbacher oak and a generous portion of mildly aromatic euro hops. little bit of that band-aid funk happening, as well as some athletically generated sweat. bizarre odor for a quad.
taste, on the other hand, is freaking amazing. the buttered scone is there, but takes background duties to the big huge fruit present here. cherries, apples, berries.. alcohol in mild doses. finishes sweet with sundae-grade caramel swirls... this beer screams belgium, but says every other word in the flemish dictionary EXCEPT for quadrupel. shane, you're a mad genius, but you suffer from constraining categorization. crisp and almost refreshing for an 11% beer. absolutely devilish.
** EDIT ** second bottle makes this one look old and musty in comparison.. lots of fresh malt sweetness and vibrant fruits, combined with abv masked age. hate to say it, but comparable to a westy 12.
drinkability scores off the charts, until i find out that 11.3 is a fabrication. everything about this beer is amazing except for the expectation of a quadrupel. people-- put down your beer dictionary and let this one flow into you like an edison invention. when your face is left with a happy beer smile, regardless of conventional style guidelines, you'll know what sixpoint means to you.

Don't be fooled by the quadrupel level - this IS a very good beer.
I tried this one "blind", meaning I saw it and ordered it by name, not knowing what I was drinking (the only way to live:). Our regular server was not there to provide any background as to style or even brewer.
To put things in perspective, this was the first beer I tasted on a very warm day. The first taste was sweet but with a noticeable sharpness. I never would guess it's alcohol level from the taste.
There were telltale signs, like a lower carbonation level, but not overpowering bite.
On this warm day it was not my first selection but I did go back for a pint later. Overall, very mellow and pleasantly sweet. Good after any meal. Even stood up well after an earlier American IPA.

There is one word that describes this beer: WOW...
At 11.3 percent, I tried this beer thinking.. this is going to be so alcoholic it's going to blow my socks off...
It was exactly the opposite. I was so impressed by the drinkability of brew. I could not taste a smidgeon of alcohol in this beer. It was sweet, and had a good amount of flavor.
The pour from the bottle was beautiful, and could have looked any better. Looked like a typical barley wine, with an amber base and very thick. Carbonation was evident but not anything near overpowering. I think this beer would be best if drunk at a non-refrigerated temperature. The deeper flavors just came out in heaps as the brew warmed.
Congrats to Six Point for coming out with such an amazing brew in their short period of operation.
I will make sure to hit up every Six Point tap that I see if they are 1/2 as nice as this great beer.

Harrison pitches well as Texas gives up big lead
Blanks D-backs before shaky sixth; Branyan bites Rhodes, Ogando
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Russell Branyan took another step toward winning the D-backs' first-base job. Matt Harrison took another step toward winning a spot in the Rangers' rotation.Branyan delivered the big blows on Wednesday afternoon at Surprise Stadium. The designated hitter clubbed a grand slam off Arthur Rhodes in the top of the seventh inning to give the D-backs the lead and, after Mitch Moreland's RBI single off Mike Hampton in the eighth forged a tie, Branyan hit an RBI single in the ninth off Alexi Ogando for a 9-8 D-backs win. Daniel Hudson, who has been named the D-backs' No. 2 starter, allowed seven runs in the second inning. Only one was earned because of Hudson's throwing error on Ian Kinsler's sacrifice bunt, one of two D-backs errors in the inning. But he still allowed eight hits and two walks in 2 2/3 innings. Harrison pitched five scoreless innings to begin the afternoon before giving up four runs in the sixth (three earned). Chris Young's two-run double was the big hit. Melvin Mora started the rally by reaching with one out on first baseman Michael Young's error, but Harrison also walked the next two hitters to load the bases.

Spring Training Info
"The last inning, I wish I could erase that," Harrison said. "The first five innings, I was getting ahead and staying ahead. I just got out of my rhythm and mechanics. I finally got back in the zone, made some good pitches and got out of it."
Overall, though, it was a strong performance for Harrison. He is competing with left-handers Michael Kirkman and Derek Holland for the final two spots in the Rangers' rotation and now has a 3.79 ERA on the spring."I was very happy with the first five innings," Harrison said. "I would like to continue that into the next game."
Harrison left with a 7-4 lead. The D-backs then loaded the bases with one out in the seventh against Rhodes. That brought up Branyan and, in a lefty vs. lefty matchup, he went deep to left-center to put the D-backs ahead.David Murphy had a two-run single in the Rangers' seven-run rally and now has a 10-game hitting streak. Willie Bloomquist was 2-for-3 for the D-backs and is hitting .411 for the spring. Rangers up next: Neftali Feliz will make his fifth appearance and fourth start of the spring when he pitches against the Padres at 8:05 p.m. CT on Thursday in Surprise. Feliz has a 1.93 ERA this spring, while opponents are hitting .222 off him. He is making a strong bid for the Rangers' rotation, but the possibility remains he could end up back in the bullpen. The game will be shown live on MLB.TV and back to Texas on TXA21. The Rangers have a split-squad doubleheader, with Tommy Hunter pitching in the first game at 3:05 p.m. against the Reds in Goodyear, also live on MLB.TV.
D-backs up next: The D-backs return to Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on Thursday afternoon to take on the A's at 1:10 p.m. MST. Left-hander Joe Saunders will take the ball for the D-backs. It will be a big start for the veteran, who does not have a spot in the rotation locked up yet, according to manager Kirk Gibson.

You may never have heard of Garland Jeffreys, and heĺs OK with that.
ôI donĺt get down about it, but I can feel something about it. I think I have some beefs with the record industry for not following through,ö Jeffreys said in a telephone interview on Jan. 9. ôPerhaps it was the idea that I would talk about certain subjects like race, like politics, like issues you might even call intellectual. Thereĺs not much of a place for that in rock Ĺnĺ roll today or in the past in rock Ĺnĺ roll. I certainly think I put out some albums that should have been big hits.ö
A musician and lyricist born out of the 1970s New York music scene, Jeffreys befriended and collaborated with such acts as Bruce Springsteen, Television, and Lou Reed but never achieved the superstardom that he seemed all but destined for.
After releasing a string of critically-acclaimed albums in the late ĺ70s and early ĺ80s, beginning with his biggest hit ôWild in the Streetsö in 1973, Jeffreys took an 11-year hiatus from music to raise a family. Calling from his home in the East Village in New York, Jeffreys spoke candidly of how his most recent album, ôThe King of In Between,ö came to fruition and how the title perfectly captures his musical style.
ôI started writing, I started putting pieces together. I like titles that spark me. You come up with an idea like ĹThe King of In Betweenĺ or ĹThe Contortionistĺ , you better come up with something good,ö he laughed.
ôA lot of artists make records thatĺs one style and I didnĺt feel a challenge there. I like the blues, jazz, rock. I like my song ĹLove Is Not a ClichÚĺ. I like my rock Ĺnĺ roll with a dash of soul, and funky. I like a message in my sound to tell everyone whatĺs going down, never want to leave this town. That spells out my connection to variety. Itĺs something that people can connect with and thatĺs crucial. At least my fans are out there and they love it.ö
As for his launch hit song ôWild in the Streets,ö most recently featured in the 2012 video game Max Payne 3, Jeffreys remembers the tragic events that led to the songĺs creation.
ôThat was a perfect example of responding to a particular situation and being connected to it in such a way that I was inspired to write a song about it. Itĺs about a murder in the Bronx. Two young kids, must have been 12 and 13, threw a 14-year-old girl off the roof of an apartment building and I wrote the song based on that. More metaphorically, but that is the essence of what itĺs about. I was off to the races Ś that was really my kind of inspiration. First of all, I could do it, I could make pop music, rock Ĺnĺ roll and still say something with meaning. Thatĺs what Iĺve been doing ever since.ö
Following the release of his eighth solo album ôGuts for Love,ö Jeffreys left the music business behind for 14 years to help raise his daughter Savanna, 16, and he wouldnĺt have it any other way.
ôWeĺre the parents of a lovely child; sheĺs the daughter of two good people,ö Jeffreys said. ôMy kid will follow me; she can sing too. Sheĺs young enough to not really even be in touch with how talented she really is. Savannah will often open my shows with a few of her songs. Sheĺs played in Europe on a trip, played a song for 5,000 people. Sheĺs not really afraid; itĺs very natural for her.ö
When it comes to performing live, his approach has been carefully cultivated over the years.
ôI like to have the mic in the center of the stage, a straight stand, not a boom stand. A straight stand. My musicians behind me, across the back. Drums, bass, guitar, keyboards. The audience is out there; they know what theyĺre gonna get because theyĺve had the experience before. Itĺs like a sin if you donĺt give them a great performance and youĺre capable of it,ö he said.
Fans attending Jeffreysĺ concert at the Sellersville Theater later this month can expect the artist at his best.
ôI will do everything I can to entertain the audience, to give them what they came for. People are coming to see me because they know what Iĺm going to give them and I will deliver. Iĺm 69, hitting 70 in a few months, and I have all the vitality and energy that I need to continue. Iĺve had a full life that I donĺt want to end. Iĺm not going anywhere Ś thatĺs what I feel. Iĺm having a pretty good time; Iĺm having a pretty good life.ö

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The route climbs the face between Pansee Savage and C'est La Vie, joins Indereckt for its crux and then PS at its last bolt for its cruxy traverse to the right. Where PS traverses back left, continue straight up the arete and face to the CLV anchors. An excellent face pitch for the connoiseur of the obscure with lots of continuous 5.11 climbing, marred only by the fact that it is both contrived and squeezed.
Very little on the route, although it could be led with double ropes and some ingenuity using gear placements on the adjoining routes.

PEORIA, Ill -- The campaign trail is heating up for the seventeenth congressional district, as Republican Representative Bobby Schilling's wife hits the ground running.
Christie Schilling met with "The Women for Bobby Coalition" at Hyvee Supermarket in Peoria Friday afternoon.
Mrs. Schilling talked of her husband's efforts, including work with the agricultural community, where there's more than 150,000 woman-run farms.
After democrats charged republicans with a war against women at the national convention, Christie Shilling and the Women for Bobby Coalition are looking to challenge that perspective.
"I am here to inform people of all the good things Bobby is doing for our district. And with all issues being women's issues. I want everyone to know what Bobby is doing to provide jobs for the district," said Christie Schilling.
"We republican women don't believe there is a war on women at all from our republican representatives, so we need to get the word out. We have a big territory that is Bobby's district. And it's important that people know what he really stands for, said Women For Bobby Volunteer Carol Hornickle.
Christie Schilling says her husband is up in the polls by about 13 points over Democratic challenger Cheri Bustos of Rock Island.

Real Talk: 'Age of Ultron' #3 Features a Lot of Trudging Through Destroyed CitiesA comic review article by: Jamil Scalese, Shawn Hill, Sean Gonzalez
Jamil Scalese: I think I found the formula for each issue of Age of Ultron, guys.
Start with a real slow open, making sure to detail every speck of destruction across a choice major U.S. city in ruins, sprinkle bits of dialogue that only marginally cement the reader in what's actually going on, then rehash, rehash, rehash just in case anyone was stupid enough to start reading an event comic in the middle instead of the beginning. Finally, just as you lull the audience to sleep, spring some good ideas and high action right in their faces, but just enough so they get to the end of said comic and go "That's it? More. More!"
That's been my reaction so far with AU, for the majority of the comic I'm looking at real pretty art and a hollow story, then there are a few morsels of greatness, but they're so incomplete that I'm counting down the days until the next issue, eager as ever when I finally get it, only to have the same thing happen. A vicious cycle, indeed.
Three to four complete pages could be omitted from this comic and no one would care. Luke Cage carrying She-Hulk's body through New York? Need less of it. The Central Park gang repeating a lot of what they discussed last issue? Don't need it at all.
The lifesaver for issue #3 is that yummy Dave Red Hulk, Taskmaster and Black Panther team-up in Chicago. Those are three of my favorite characters and seeing them interact, albeit briefly, is a bit of a joy. And that "I refuse to call you Red Hulk" crack is one of the best things so far about Age of Ultron.
What did you two think? Akin to two weeks ago, it's a very solid offering, but the pace is killing me. It seems we only get forward movement at the very end of each issue, and the other 18 pages are so decompressed the ratio for panel count per page is higher than word per page.
Shawn Hill: I think it's Bendis 1.0. I knew what was I was signing on for when I jumped into this thing. His "last" Avengers story is going to be as completely early aughts as possible! I'm here for the Hitch realism-fests, and if we get to see Luke carry an injured Shulkie through the desolate canyons of NYC for ever and ever, I'm there. Especially as it turned out to be a ruse where she had to let him knock her out, because she's the slightly more invulnerable one. Not the plan we expected, but one of despair and anger.
That said, I've been preparing a rant regarding this issue's surprise reveal all week, and I just can't muster the outrage I really need. It's a character Bendis has never ever understood, it's like he started the last ten years by destroying Scarlet Witch, now he's going to finish by going on trashing all her partners, one by one. Simon was so much more interesting in the current Uncanny Avengers than he ever was while Bendis made him a terrorist; but there's no saving Vision, as no one seems to care what Bendis does to him. He brought him back with the same disdain he reserved for bringing the Wasp back. Okay, finding her in the Microverse and having her be a plucky survivor was a pretty decent idea actually (much better than her fashion designing collaboration with the House of M), so I'm going to hope he has something in mind for Vision this time too. Not that anybody respects the Thomas/Englehart history relating to the character anymore, but as a surprise reveal, it was a pretty slick bait-and-switch, I'll give him that. It's a good feeling to be as shocked as the focal character is when the mask is pulled off.
Sean Gonzalez: I wish there were different words for different levels of surprise. Sure, I wasn't expecting Vis to be the big baddie, but at least it fits. I'm just glad it wasn't Machine Man.
I gotta say that the Chicago team-up not only saves this issue for me, but it's also saved the whole series so far. Maybe it's the subtle mix between snark and desperation that this ragtag group exudes that's entertaining me so much. Maybe it's because it illustrates the gigantic scope of the conquest in six pages faster than three issues worth of climbing through rubble and sitting in basements does. It could even be the fact that I'm actually watching heroes fight and try to win instead of complaining about how bad they've been beat. What I'm trying to say is, I want more of the Chi-Town three. I will say I'm upset over the fact that Black Panther, gymnast extraordinaire, was seemingly unable to stick a landing. Not just because it's suggested that he didn't survive the fall, but specifically because it was a fall. Laser-death, on the other hand, is fair game.
Jumping back again (Hey, if Bendis is allowed...) I was a bit disappointed that Cage was the one to discover Vision. Out of the New York survivors, there are seven Avengers that were not only the Vision's teammates in the past, but actual friends. It pains me to consider the myriad of conversations and conflicts that could have been if only they'd sent Valkyrie and Hawkeye or Beast and Quicksilver. To top it off, I'd argue that the heroes' arguments for sending Cage and Shulkie make no sense and don't align with anyone's character at all. What good is invulnerability against lasers? I would think that the likelihood of death is about the same no matter who they sent, and most everyone in that room would, at least under normal circumstances, have offered themselves to go. Have I just been reading these characters wrong all these years? I honestly think Age of Ultron is coming off like the Ultimate universe, not only in art, but in actions too. Please tell me we'll get some more relief from whimpering and grimacing soon?
Jamil: In previous reviews we addressed that otherworldly feel, and I agree Sean, because of Hitch's art this seems like an Ultimate Comics event. The inclusion of Red Hulk forced me to remember this is the 616, and that the main universe is torn to shreds. Since we didn't see it happen it's hard to make it stick. That's not a criticism, just the nature of things.
I have some of the same questions you do, chiefly, how the hell do you knock a Hulk out? Shouldn't Jen just get madder and more savage? The plan itself is a little thin, you'd think that if was enough to make Captain America stand up it'd be a little more complex. Our NYC heroes actually believe that Ultron hasn't anticipated them trying to infiltrate his citadel? Seriously, Bendis? That's why this whole "Heroes for Trade" idea needs to pay off. Ultron better have a real good reason for swapping amnesty for capes.
I don't believe Vision is the big bad, I believe he's Ultron's middleman and servant. A couple reasons for that theory: one, he's like ripped in half or something, and two, in the Superior Spider-Man tie-in (discussed below) Otto catches a glimpse of Vision and seems to think it's the villain's "central intelligence".
I can't disagree with you, Shawn. Bendis really hasn't been nice to the Emerald Android at all. I'm wondering if "greater powers" concocted the Cage/She-Hulk duo so Vision can finally confront the fellow Avenger who took him out of the game for about eight years.
Shawn: Well, since she wasn't in her right mind, either (having just as much as a hysterical fit as Wanda did in "Disassembled," but for Hulk reasons), and the Vision is a logical being, I'm going to have to say he probably hasn't thought about it. However, I'm going to disagree more about something else. I think he IS the Big Bad. Luke's shocked reaction seems very genuine and Luke is often Bendis' choice of focal character who lays down the law in a way the everyman can relate to. I'm starting to suspect we're going to have another version of Vision trying to take over all reality to run things better, as he did way back in the Roger Stern days. Only, this time, he's horribly broken and damaged and he's going to ruin everything. In fact, we may even end up with an Ultron who needs help saving the world from his own mad creation!? Twist!
There's another influence on this tale that come to mind besides just the Ultimates (which were Millar/Hitch) and Ultimatum (creators best forgotten). There's also Ultimate Nightmare (Ellis/Hairsine), which I think found a similarly damaged Ultimate Vision eventually (the first and best part of his Ultimate Galaktus Trilogy, which was uneven but mostly enjoyable -- except for how they made another bad Fantastic Four movie out of some of it); and really, if I want to go back to look for blame about Vision being viewed as a malfunctioning robot rather than an android who can cry, I probably have to go back to Avengers West Coast and John Byrne, who also made Wanda evil and ripped Vision to shreds to the point that Roy Thomas had to swoop back in and fix all the broken toys just to salvage the book.
Nobody thinks Bendis broke anything, and he was actually putting things back in order himself towards the finales of Avengers/New Avengers. Best case scenario for this new story direction: could he actually manage to write a Vision with a personality at last? Even if it's an evil one, that would be progress. At least it will look good, with Peterson (who did Ultimate Extinction) on art.
Sean: Poor Vision... He's just trapped in the cycle that is being a robot in the Marvel universe.
I'm going to have to side with Shawn on the lack of conflict between She-Hulk and Vision. He makes good points, and in addition, I'm pretty sure Vis already came to terms with his tear-down a while ago. On the flip side, I'm siding with Jamil on Vision probably not being the reason for all this destruction. Mostly based on the same points you made, Shawn. Vision has always been extremely logical, while leaning on the side of good. One of the most memorable times he's gone cray was due to the fact that he didn't think the Avengers were protecting the earth as well as they could be. I don't really see a reason for the rampant destruction and extermination of human life. That's definitely an Ultron trait.
I'm just glad that things finally seem to be moving forward. I'm intrigued to see what's happened to the savage land (anyone up for Ka-Zar vs. robots?!) and I've already expressed my appreciation of the glimpse into another city. Do you guys have any folks you'd like to see dealing with the Age of Ultron?
Shawn: I would love it if the old magic tricks would work again. Thor, Dr. Strange, Wanda, heck, Magik or Margali Szardos would be welcome! Just not Morgan Le Fey, we already know what Bendis would do with her.
Jamil: ANGELA, of course. Maybe Batman.
I want to find out what's going with the Ultron-bot head Taskmaster ran off with. I love that Bendis has focused on anti-hero types Moon Knight, Red Hulk, Tasky and the like. With that said, where is someone like Magneto? Where is Doom or Kang? No need to bombard us with the villain folk but it'd be cool to see a figure like Loki give the heroes a helping hand.
I want to see Ultron most of all. I think it's safe to say he's hiding in some way. Is he actually playing the mole himself, operating in plain sight? The faster we get to the titular antagonist the meatier the story, I'm guessing.
Sean: Well, I'd say that we're finally getting close to some answers, but based on the series' track record, I'll keep my reservations. At the very least, we can all admit that this issue is setting up intriguing stuff for next time and I think we'll have a good time seeing the culmination of the first quarter. I'm just glad we won't have to wait a whole month!
Superior Spider-Man #6AU
(Christos Gage, Dexter Soy)
Jamil: With major events come the tie-ins, that much is comic law. Marvel decided to go all non-intrusive with Age of Ultron and made the tie-in issues mostly optional one-offs. This gives the comics a "What If?" feel, which really means it's all about the creators ability to tell a good story in a truncated format.
A post-disaster scenario with Peter Parker would make for a powerfully emotional, but pretty predictable, piece. The same situation with Otto Octavius? That's quality theater. After his greatest victory Spider-Ock faces the world's great defeat, a crushing development until he's presented with a mission from Iron Man. Taking place during the first half of AU #3, Superior Spidey teams up with Quicksilver to try and suck Ultron into the Negative Zone. Predictably, Otto goes off-mission, venturing to take on the machine himself, but gets hosed down quickly.
Our replacement hero learns he needs to work with his "peers" in order to set everything right. It serves as way to explain Spidey's attitude over in the core title which falls more in line with Parker-ism. Christos Gage, who will be assisting on script duties in Superior Spider-Man in the coming months, has a good grasp on Otto's voice, even if his actions sway a lot. Dexter Soy proves that the mostly maligned Captain Marvel stint was all about time and place. His style, from pencils to color, bring the tragic world to life. I guess a plus to Bryan Hitch's art sitting on the shelf for so long is that others were able to use it as source material.
A non-essential issue, but if you're a fan of the Superior Spider-Man and like what's happening in AU then it's worth a look. Otherwise, it's a quality comic that will end up in the bargain bin one day.
Fantastic Four #5AU
(Matt Fraction, Andre Arajuo, Jose Villarrubia)
Sean: Whether you've been following Fantastic Four or just Age of Ultron, either way, this comic is going to feel a bit out of place. It derails from the FF family's space trip and instead focuses completely on Ultron's attack on earth. Of course, since Marvel's supposedly doing readers the favor of not making any of the tie-ins integral to completing the plot of Age of Ultron, the issue comes off a bit bland.
Realistically, since most of the FF are missing from the event's main title, this issue focuses on what exactly happened to the team while things first started going down. The four get a distress call from Earth, and rocket into the fray, leaving behind nothing but their children and some sub-par goodbye videos. There's little reason to elaborate seeing as how things go pretty much as one would expect when someone's trying to get some heroes out of the way. A fight sequence, followed by some platitudes by each fallen member of the team -- some of which frankly, I can barely accept coming out of the mouths of the FF, especially Mr. Fantastic, who seemingly speaks to his children as if he just met them-- and then we're left at the beginning of Age of Ultron.
The issue stutters along trying to illicit a response from the reader, but more often than not, I was unphased. I will admit that Andre Arajuo has a unique style that made me linger on a few pages more than once. His depictions of a Manhattan bordering on destroyed and robotically redesigned remind me of Moebius-esque future cities, but his character work needs some improvement.
All in all, the issue is relatively forgettable and i'm betting that the subtle cliffhanger that it ends on will most likely resolve within the pages of AU. If not, you'll probably stumble upon it in Wikipedia one day.

Great post Greg. I love climbing no matter the grade, but this year is the first year I have actually gotten weaker. I don't care how much better I get each year, I just want to get better. Luckily there's still a few months left in 2012.
Greg it has been to long brother! Where have you been? Your Halloween costume is still my favorite (tried to dig up a climbing photo of you wearing this but no luck:(
I think I hauled you up this one Greg if I'm not mistaken?? Remember Sidewinder in Jtree me freezing at the top while you struggled up with your ample girth keeping you warm. First and last time I used a 3 to 1 z but I'm glad I knew how!!
Grand props on the "Irish Wench" climbing costume!
I'm roughly 190-200 and have climbed mid-11's before I tore my meniscus, but I can definitely climb harder than that, and will once I'm fully recovered. I don't think I've been below 190 since I started climbing 2-3 years ago. I'm mostly muscle and don't think I could drop below 185 without some serious re-working, so I train harder for climbing :)
Two points: OP is talking about 190 - 200 lbs, AND climbing .13+ Doing anything at or under 180 does not qualify. Being 190 - 200 and climbing 5.11 does not either. Steve Petro and John Long both climbed hard and weighed over 190, but I'm not sure about the .13+ part. Do not know them personally. I'm surprised my handicap idea didn't get some run. If I pull down a hard crux, I required a significantly higher amount of strength to do that than most of you flyweights.
I have always been around 200. Never broke into 5.12, although I tried for a while. I have seen bigger guys climb harder, but I think genetics comes into play with finger and shoulder strength. Pulled tendons suck... Never seen someone my size pull 5.13 except on video. Here is me failing on 11d. Every time I got close I would end up with 'overuse injuries'. At hueco playing on the jug routes. Never pulled harder than v4 either, and it was rare to see someone my size climbing at all. It does occur though. There is some Boulder guy that is huge, and climbs barefoot out there really hard. forget his name though. It can happen, but one needs exceptionally strong joints and resting skills. Really hard climbing is for skinny little people that starve themselves!
is 5.11 even a warmup for people who climb hard? probably not.
I'm 6' and fluctuate between 182 and 190. I've climbed v8 at my 'Christmas weight,' though my best sends tend to happen when I'm a little lighter. That being said, v7+ and 5.13+ are moderate for bouldering and sport climbing. No one is going to become famous for climbing these grades.
But how would that be affected by age? A clyesdale/athena AND over 60? My suspicion would be the incidence of injury would be higher.
I have TR'ed a 5.10 at 210lbs. I like El Tigre's idea, you scrawny little sportos don't have a clue what it is like pulling 210lbs through a roof section. Now I have dropped a bit of weight, down to 185. Still can't climb 5.13. But I climb hard in my head!
Since we gauge success on some trumped-up numbers matrix, we really aren't too far from golf. If I ever get some free time, I'm writing up par-based scorecards for the home area with a weight/handicap chart.
I was prowling in the 220 range in this video, and could still do 5.12 problems I had wired when I was as heavy as 240. It is about technic and good footwork to climb fat!!!
I grew up in Central PA and watched the hard core locals climb with amazing efficiency the very hard just under vertical stuff in the area while carrying spare tires fitting of a Monster Truck.
Don't know a thing about his weight, and never met him, but George Bell is no wisp of a guy and he's done most of the stuff on my bucket list. I hope I'm not insulting you George, more recent pics of you that I've seen seem to show a meaner leaner you. On the climbs we've both done, I trust your beta more than most as being realistic for the "real" climber.
john long references being "over 200lbs" when he was going nuts in the 70's and 80's. i can feel a difference between when i'm 170 and 175, but then again i'm weak like a baby.
Petro isn't a tall guy, I can't imagine he would be anywhere near 200 even at his most bricked. Greg Loh was pretty beefy back in the late 90s and crankin V10...but again, not a tall guy, probably not 2 bills.
Muscle weighs a lot. I bet he played at 190 or so; don't have any idea what his climbing weight is.
i remember this anecdote because i'm a lynn hill fan so i looked it up- from john long's "how to rock climb", page 212, on upward oppositionals in a belay anchor: "...I (210 lbs) once fell at Tahquitz and pulled belayer Lynn Hill (105 lbs) 10 feet into the air." Maybe he's counting the rack....
This thread needs more pics of Eric Coffman climbing, please.
I'm glad you like my pics Mark!!
