White stool is not normal and should be evaluated promptly by a doctor. White stool is caused by a lack of bile, which may indicate a serious underlying problem.
Bile is a digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Stool gets its normal brownish color from bile, which is excreted from the liver into the small intestine during the digestive process. If the liver doesn't produce bile or if bile is obstructed from leaving the liver, stool will be light colored or white.
Liver diseases, such as hepatitis and cirrhosis, can cause white stool. In some cases, the problem lies not in the liver but in the tube (duct) that delivers the bile to the intestines. This tube can be squeezed shut or blocked — for example, by a tumor or a gallstone — which prevents the bile from entering the intestines. Some babies are born with constricted bile ducts.

Monday night, it was announced that the Texas Rangers had officially won the negotiating rights to posted Japanese starting pitcher Yu Darvish. The announcement concluded days, or even weeks of speculation, although it didn't come as too terribly big of a surprise. While the posting process is a secretive process, based on as much as anybody could know, the Rangers and the Toronto Blue Jays were thought to be the favorites.
So it wasn't a huge shock. There was just this one thing. Ken Rosenthal is probably baseball's most highly trusted news-breaker. He seems to be trusted far more than Jon Heyman, and while there are other good reporters, they're either worse than Rosenthal or lower-profile. And just last Tuesday, Rosenthal wrote this article, with the following headline:
Rangers not fishing for Fielder, Darvish
Okay, so headlines aren't always written by the body author. How about some of the text?
The [Rangers'] payroll flexibility, sources say, is not as significant as many in the industry previously believed. Thus, the Rangers are exploring more cost-effective moves for pitchers [...]
None would be nearly as expensive as Fielder, who is likely to command a free-agent deal of at least $150 million, or Darvish, whose price likely will exceed $100 million when combining his posting fee and contract.
The Rangers submitted a massive bid and won the rights to negotiate with Yu Darvish. As the Rangers were preparing that bid, Rosenthal's sources told him the Rangers didn't have as much money as people thought. Those were either sources from within the Rangers' organization, or they were sources who were informed by people in the Rangers' organization.
Now, it's possible that Rosenthal's sources were right on at the time, and that Rangers ownership then suddenly changed direction. It's also possible that the Rangers really don't have that much money, and won't get Darvish signed. But it's easy, very easy, to imagine this as a deliberate misdirection. It's easy to imagine the Rangers trying to trick people into believing that they don't have much flexibility. Especially when it comes to something like the posting process.
As it happens, this isn't the only suspicious example. How about this article from November about the Angels? Headline:
Dipoto: Angels won't be big spenders this winter
Some of the body:
After a string of winters highlighted by fruitless pursuit of top-tier free agents, though, the new GM gave every indication the Angels won't be targeting the biggest names on that market and will instead look to be "creative" in finding solutions that don't directly involve Angels owner Arte Moreno reaching for his checkbook.
The Angels, of course, signed Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson over the same Thursday breakfast. Pujols was the best free agent hitter on the market, and Wilson was the best free agent pitcher on the market.
Again, it's possible that the Angels weren't thinking big at the time that the article was published, and then things changed later on. We cannot rule that out. But it's also possible, and I think more probable, that we're looking at a smokescreen. That the Angels realized there's not much benefit to being honest.
And there's not. Certainly not when talking to the media, about certain things. And sometimes not when talking to other teams. Being honest can serve to reduce a team's advantage, and teams are all about using any advantage they can get.
As fans, we can learn a lesson from these things. Or maybe not learn - these are more like reminders of something we already knew. And that's that, yeah, you really need to take everything you read and hear with a grain of salt. Teams have no obligation to be honest with their fans when they're still trying to get something done. Nor do they have any obligation to be honest with their competition. All of the rumors that you read - where do you think that they come from? Inside sources can still mislead, or be misled.
There is truth to some things, there is less truth to others, and sometimes it can be all but impossible to tell. You could say that, above a hot stove, you'll find a lot of hot air.

Hubert Parry
Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry, 1st Baronet (27 February 1848 – 7 October 1918) was an English composer, teacher and historian of music.
Parry's first major works appeared in 1880. As a composer he is best known for the choral song "Jerusalem", the coronation anthem "I was glad", the choral and orchestral ode Blest Pair of Sirens, and the hymn tune "Repton", which sets the words "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind". His orchestral works include five symphonies and a set of Symphonic Variations.
After early attempts to work in insurance, at his father's behest, Parry was taken up by George Grove, first as a contributor to Grove's massive Dictionary of Music and Musicians in the 1870s and 80s, and then in 1883 as professor of composition and musical history at the Royal College of Music, of which Grove was the first head. In 1895 Parry succeeded Grove as head of the College, remaining in the post for the rest of his life. He was concurrently professor of music at the University of Oxford from 1900 to 1908. He wrote several books about music and music history, the best-known of which is probably his 1909 study of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Both in his lifetime and afterwards, Parry's reputation and critical standing have varied. His academic duties were considerable, and prevented him from devoting all his energies to composition, but some contemporaries such as Charles Villiers Stanford rated him as the finest English composer since Henry Purcell; others, such as Frederick Delius, did not. Parry's influence on later composers, by contrast, is widely recognised. Edward Elgar learned much of his craft from Parry's articles in Grove's Dictionary, and among those who studied under Parry at the Royal College were Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst, Frank Bridge and John Ireland.
Early years[edit]
Parry was born in Bournemouth, the youngest of six children of Thomas Gambier Parry (1816–1888) and his first wife, Isabella née Fynes-Clinton (1816–1848), of Highnam Court, Gloucestershire. The music critic J A Fuller Maitland wrote of Parry's background:
The surroundings of a "county family" in the depth of the English country are so often sneered at by "superior" people that it may be worth while to point out that the intellectual squalor and general indifference to matters of art, so much insisted on by popular novelists, is not always true to nature. The composer's father, Thomas Gambier Parry, owner of Highnam Court, was not merely an eminent collector of works of early Italian art at a date when very few people had the taste to choose what was best, but was himself a painter and designer of no small skill, and the inventor of a process of "Spirit fresco" which he used in his private chapel at Highnam as well as in Ely Cathedral. In the other arts, as in literature, the home atmosphere was most congenial to the soul's growth.[1]
Three of the Parrys' children died in infancy, and Isabella Parry died twelve days after the birth of Hubert. She was buried in the churchyard of St. Peter's, Bournemouth, where he was baptised two days later. He grew up at Highnam with his surviving siblings, (Charles) Clinton and Lucy. Thomas Parry remarried in 1851, and had a further six children.[2]
From January 1856 to the middle of 1858 Parry attended a preparatory school in Malvern, from where he moved to a Twyford Preparatory School in Hampshire.[3] At Twyford his interest in music was encouraged by the headmaster, and by two organists, S S Wesley at Winchester Cathedral, and Edward Brind, at Highnam church. From Wesley he gained an enduring love of Bach's music, which according to The Times "ultimately found expression in his most important literary work, Johann Sebastian Bach, the Story of the Development of a Great Composer (1909)".[4] Brind gave Parry piano and basic harmony lessons, and took him to the Three Choirs Festival in Hereford in 1861.[2] Among the choral works performed at that festival were Mendelssohn's Elijah, Mozart's Requiem, and Handel's Samson and Messiah. Orchestral works included Beethoven's Pastoral and Mendelssohn's Italian symphonies.[5] The experience left a great impression on Parry, and he later established an association with the festival that lasted until his death.[2]
After leaving Twyford in 1861 Parry was sent to Eton, where he distinguished himself at sport as well as music, despite early signs of the heart trouble that was to dog him for the rest of his life.[2] Eton was not at that time noted for its music, but his interest was encouraged. He took lessons with George Elvey, the organist of St George's Chapel, Windsor, and composed many prentice works.[6]
While still at Eton Parry successfully sat the Oxford Bachelor of Music examination, the youngest person who had ever done so.[2] His examination exercise, a cantata, O Lord, Thou hast cast us out, "astonished" the Oxford Professor of Music, Sir Frederick Ouseley, and was triumphantly performed and published in 1867.[7] In 1867 Parry left and went up to Exeter College, Oxford.[4] He did not study music, being intended by his father for a commercial career, and instead read law and modern history. His musical concerns took second place during his time at Oxford, though during one summer vacation he went to Stuttgart and studied with Henry Hugo Pierson.[4]
Double harness[edit]
After leaving Oxford, Parry was an underwriter at Lloyd's of London from 1870 to 1877 [6] He found the work uncongenial and wholly contrary to his talents and inclinations, but felt obliged to persevere with it, to satisfy not only his father, but his prospective parents-in-law. In 1872 he married Elizabeth Maude Herbert (1851–1933), second daughter of the politician Sidney Herbert and his wife Elizabeth. His in-laws agreed with his father in preferring a conventional career for him, although Parry proved as unsuccessful in insurance as he was successful in music.[4] He and his wife had two daughters, Dorothea and Gwendolen, named after George Eliot characters.[2][n 1]
Parry continued his musical studies alongside his work in insurance. In London he took lessons from William Sterndale Bennett, but finding them insufficiently demanding[n 2] he sought lessons from Johannes Brahms.[2] Brahms was not available, and Parry was recommended to the pianist Edward Dannreuther, "wisest and most sympathetic of teachers".[7] Dannreuther started by giving Parry piano lessons, but soon extended their studies to analysis and composition. At this stage in his musical development, Parry moved away from the classical conventions inspired by Mendelssohn. Dannreuther introduced him to the music of Wagner, which influenced his compositions of these years.[11]
At the same time as his compositions were coming to public notice, Parry was taken up as a musical scholar by George Grove, first as his assistant editor for his new Dictionary of Music and Musicians, to which post Parry was appointed in 1875 and contributed 123 articles. Among those who benefited from these writings was the young Edward Elgar; he did not attend a music college and, as he said in later life, had been most helped by Parry's articles.[12] In 1883, Grove, as the first director of the new Royal College of Music, appointed him as the college's professor of composition and musical history.[6]
Parry's first major works appeared in 1880: a piano concerto, which Dannreuther premiered, and a choral setting of scenes from Shelley's Prometheus Unbound. The first performance of the latter has been held to mark the start of a "renaissance" in English music, but was regarded by many critics as too avant garde.[7] Parry scored a greater contemporary success with the ode Blest Pair of Sirens (1887), commissioned by and dedicated to Charles Villiers Stanford, one of the first British musicians to recognise Parry's talent. Stanford described Parry as the greatest English composer since Purcell.[7] Blest Pair of Sirens, a setting of Milton's "At a Solemn Musick", suggested as a text by Grove, established Parry as the leading English choral composer of his day; this had the drawback of bringing him a series of commissions for conventional oratorios, a genre with which he was not in sympathy.[6]
Peak years[edit]
Now well established as a composer and scholar, Parry received many commissions. Among them were choral works such as the Ode on Saint Cecilia's Day (1889), the oratorios Judith (1888) and Job (1892), the psalm-setting De Profundis (1891) and a lighter work, The Pied Piper of Hamelin (1905), described later as "a bubbling well of humour."[7] The biblical oratorios were well received by the public, but Parry's lack of sympathy with the form was mocked by Bernard Shaw, then writing musical criticism in London. He denounced Job as "the most utter failure ever achieved by a thoroughly respectworthy musician. There is not one bar in it that comes within fifty thousand miles of the tamest line in the poem."[13] Parry, along with Stanford and Alexander Mackenzie, was regarded by some as joint leader of the "English Musical Renaissance";[n 3] Shaw considered them a mutual admiration society,[16] purveying "sham classics"; reviewing Eden by Stanford in 1891 he wrote
But who am I that I should be believed, to the disparagement of eminent musicians? If you doubt that Eden is a masterpiece, ask Dr Parry and Dr Mackenzie, and they will applaud it to the skies. Surely Dr Mackenzie's opinion is conclusive; for is he not the composer of Veni Creator, guaranteed as excellent music by Professor Stanford and Dr Parry? You want to know who Parry is? Why, the composer of Blest Pair of Sirens, as to the merits of which you only have to consult Dr Mackenzie and Professor Stanford.[17]
Contemporary critics generally regarded Parry's orchestral music as of secondary importance in his output,[18] but in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries many of Parry's orchestral pieces have been revived. These include five symphonies, a set of Symphonic Variations in E minor, the Overture to an Unwritten Tragedy (1893) and the Elegy for Brahms (1897). In 1883 Parry wrote music to accompany the Cambridge Greek Play The Birds by Aristophanes, a production which starred the mediaevalist and ghost-story writer, M. R. James. Parry received an honorary degree from Cambridge University in the same year.[19] Subsequently, he wrote music for Oxford productions of Aristophanes: The Frogs (1892), The Clouds (1905) and The Acharnians (1914). He had also provided elaborate incidental music for a West End production by Beerbohm Tree, Hypatia (1893).[20] Among Parry's considerable output of music for the theatre, there was only one attempt at opera: Guenever, which was turned down by the Carl Rosa Opera Company.[2]
A composer who counts is rare enough anywhere, any time. Do not try to use him as a mixture of university don, cabinet minister, city magnate, useful hack, or a dozen things besides. A great blow was delivered against English music when Parry was appointed to succeed Sir George Grove as director of the RCM
When Grove retired as director of the Royal College of Music, Parry succeeded him from January 1895, and held the post until his death. In 1900 he succeeded John Stainer as professor of music at Oxford. In an obituary tribute in 1918 Robin Legge, music critic of The Daily Telegraph, lamented these academic calls on Parry's time, believing that they got in the way of his principal calling – composition. Ralph Vaughan Williams, who studied at the RCM under Parry, rated him highly as both composer and teacher. Of Parry in the latter capacity he wrote:
The secret of Parry's greatness as a teacher was his broad-minded sympathy; his was not that so called broadmindedness which comes of want of conviction; his musical antipathies were very strong, and sometimes, in the opinion of those who disagreed with them, unreasonable; but in appraising a composer's work he was able to set these on one side and see beyond them. And it was in this spirit that he examined the work of his pupils. A student's compositions are seldom of any intrinsic merit, and a teacher is apt to judge them on their face-value. But Parry looked further than this; he saw what lay behind the faulty utterance and made it his object to clear the obstacles that prevented fullness of musical speech. His watchword was "characteristic" – that was the thing which mattered.[22]
As head of the Royal College of Music, Parry numbered among his leading pupils Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst, Frank Bridge and John Ireland.[4]
Despite the demands of his academic posts Parry's personal beliefs, which were Darwinian and humanist, led him to compose a series of six "ethical cantatas", experimental works in which he hoped to supersede the traditional oratorio and cantata forms. They were generally unsuccessful with the public, though Elgar admired The Vision of Life (1907), and The Soul's Ransom (1906) has had several modern performances.[6]
Following the death of his stepmother, Ethelinda Lear Gambier-Parry, in 1896, Parry succeeded to the family estate at Highnam.[23] He was created a Knight Bachelor in 1898 and a baronet in 1902.[2]
Last years[edit]
Parry resigned his Oxford appointment on medical advice in 1908 and, in the last decade of his life, produced some of his best-known works, including the Symphonic Fantasia '1912' (also called Symphony No. 5), the Ode on the Nativity (1912), Jerusalem (1916) and the Songs of Farewell (1916–1918). The piece by which he is best known, the setting of William Blake's poem "Jerusalem" mentioned above, was immediately taken up by the suffragette movement, with which both Parry and his wife were strongly in sympathy.[2]
Parry held German music and its traditions to be the pinnacle of music, and was a friend of German culture in general. He was, accordingly, certain that Britain and Germany would never go to war against each other, and was in despair when World War I broke out. In the words of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography: "During the war he watched a life's work of progress and education being wiped away as the male population, particularly the new fertile generation of composing talent—of the Royal College, dwindled."
In the autumn of 1918 Parry contracted Spanish flu during the global pandemic and died at Knightscroft, Rustington, West Sussex, aged 70. At the urging of Stanford, he was buried in St Paul's Cathedral. The site of his birthplace, in Richmond Hill, Bournemouth, next door to the Square, is marked with a blue plaque; there is a memorial tablet, with an inscription by the Poet Laureate, Robert Bridges, in Gloucester Cathedral, unveiled during the Three Choirs Festival of 1922.[2] Parry's baronetcy became extinct at his death. Highnam passed to his half-brother, Major Ernest Gambier-Parry.[23]
Parry's biographer Jeremy Dibble writes:
Parry's musical style is a complex aggregate reflecting his assimilation of indigenous as well as continental traditions. Trained in the organ loft during his schooldays and educated through the degree system of the ancient universities, he had imbibed fully the aesthetics of Anglican church music and the oratorio-centred repertory of the provincial music festivals by the age of 18.[6]
Many colleagues and critics have concluded that Parry's music is that of a conventional and not strongly creative Englishman. Delius said of him, "How a man rolling in wealth, the lord of many acres & living off the fat of the land can write anything about Job beats me entirely"[24] and in 1948 Bax, who was unaware of Parry's radical politics, wrote, "Parry, Stanford, Mackenzie – they were all three solid reputable citizens … model husbands and fathers without a doubt, respected members of the most irreproachably Conservative clubs, and in Yeats's phrase had 'no strange friend'. Of this I am sure."[25] The view of Parry taken by Bax and Bernard Shaw was contradicted by his daughter Dorothea in 1956:
This fantastic legend about my father ... that he was conventional, a conservative squire, a sportsman, a churchman, and with no "strange friend" ... My father was the most naturally unconventional man I have known. He was a Radical, with a very strong bias against Conservatism ... He was a free-thinker and did not go to my christening. He never shot, not because he was against blood-sports, but felt out of touch and ill at ease in the company of those who enjoyed shooting parties. His friends, apart from his schoolfriends, were mostly in the artistic and literary world ... He was an ascetic and spent nothing on himself. The puritanical vein in him is considered by some to spoil his music, as tending to lack of colour. Far from its being an advantage to be the son of a Gloucestershire squire, my father's early life was a fight against prejudice. His father thought music unsuitable as a profession, and the critics of music in the mid-nineteenth century showed no mercy to anyone they considered privileged. My father was sensitive, and suffered from bouts of deep depression. The extraordinary misinterpretation of him that exists should not persist.[26]
In an analysis of Parry's compositional process, Michael Allis draws attention to a widely held but inaccurate belief that Parry was a facile composer who dashed off new works without effort. He quotes the mid-20th century critics H C Colles and Eric Blom as equating Parry's supposed facility with superficiality.[27] Allis also quotes Parry's diary, which regularly recorded his difficulties in composition: "struggled along with the Symphony", "thoroughly terrible and wearing grind over the revisions", "stuck fast" and so on.[28] Parry himself is partly responsible for another belief about his music, that he was neither interested in nor good at orchestration. In a lecture at the RCM he was censorious of Berlioz who, in Parry's view, disguised commonplace musical ideas by glittering orchestration: "When divested of its amazingly variegated colour the ideas themselves do not convince us or exert much fascination."[29] Bax and others took this to mean that Parry (and Stanford and Mackenzie) "regarded sensuous beauty of orchestral sound as not quite nice".[30] In 2001, the American writers Nicholas Slonimsky and Laura Kuhn took the view: "In his orchestral music, Parry played a significant role in the fostering of the British symphonic tradition. While his orchestral works owe much to the German Romanticists, particularly Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Brahms, he nevertheless developed a personal style notable for its fine craftsmanship and mastery of diatonic writing. His 5 [symphonies] reveal a growing assurance in handling large forms. He also wrote some effective incidental music and fine chamber pieces."[31]
The early influence of Wagner on Parry's music can be heard in the Concertstück for orchestra (1877), the overture Guillem de Cabestanh (1878), and especially in Scenes from Prometheus Unbound (1880).[6] Dibble notes a more thoroughly absorbed Wagnerian influence in Blest Pair of Sirens, and points to the influence of Brahms on such works as the Piano Quartet in A flat (1879) and the Piano Trio in B minor (1884).[6]
Books on music[edit]
Parry wrote about music throughout his adult life. As well as his 123 articles in Grove's Dictionary, his publications include Studies of Great Composers (1886); The Art of Music (1893) enlarged as The Evolution of the Art of Music (1896); The Music of the Seventeenth Century, (Volume III of the Oxford History of Music (1902); Johann Sebastian Bach: the Story of the Development of a Great Personality (1909), rated by The Times as his most important book; and Style in Musical Art, collected Oxford lectures (1911).[6]

Can one also have a pet peeve about oneself, like : "My pet peeve is that I can't stop talking." Correct?
Logically, there's no reason why not, but it sounds strange to me.
A perusal of 'pet peeve' at OneLook Dictionary Search seems to confirm that all of those cited above by birgit33 fit the definition.

Previously expected to kick off a closed beta this month, developer Bohemia Interactive has now announced that their ambitiously authentic military shooter sequel ArmA 3 now has a new release window of 2013, not getting any more specific than the full year.
In a status update blog post, Bohemia's Josi-Jan van't Land explained that the "additional development time enables the project to reach its full potential, with the studio expecting to finalize their release plans in the new year."
"We've been in the process of implementing changes that will help us innovate as a studio under unexpected circumstances - facing problems we simply couldn't have imagined", referring to the detainment of two Bohemia Interactive employees in Greece. Both were arrested on suspicion of espionage while spending their holiday on Lemnos - an island that served as inspiration for the environment in Arma 3. They have since remained in jail pending legal proceedings. "We're still trying to make sense of the situation and hope that our colleagues will be released soon. Although their plight has certainly affected us on a personal level, we continue working on the tasks identified as key to the release of Arma 3."A "more complete announcement" about matters is expected early in the new year.

Thanks to someone for sharing this at the most recent Freetail bottle release party. Sorry for not remembering who provided it.
The beer pours a golden-orange color with a white head. The aroma is full of herbs and spices. I get a ton of rosemary as well as some sage and coriander. There is also a little bit of citrus in the aroma.
The flavor is also very complex. I get a lot of wheat and biscuit notes with the same herbs that I found in the aroma. The oak-aging also come through and I get some tannins in the flavor. The beer is fairly dry and very spicy and herbal. The Belgian yeast also comes through in the flavor, adding to the overall complexity.
Medium to high carbonation and medium mouthfeel. Very easy to drink.

3.9/5 rDev +2.4%
Poured from a 22oz. bottle into a chilled mug.
Appearance - Nice cloudy golden color with a 2 finger head. Decent retention. Eventually gives way to a creamy ring around the sides.
Smell - Fantastic! Very interesting. It has a yeasty, bready smell along with some toasty notes mixed with fruit. Also a hint of cinnamon.
Taste - Here's where you understand this craft beers complexity. The taste is very close to the yeasty, bready smell but you also get a bit of old barrel aged bourbon, but not so much so that it becomes boozy. All that is covered slightly with a floral spiciness. The oaky aftertaste lingers just for a few seconds. Very nice.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with decent carbonation. Seems like it would be heavier with all the complex tastes and smells but it's surprisingly smooth.
Drinkability - For a Belgian with a 9.5% abv I think it's very drinkable. It's not something that I would casually do though, this brew needs your attention. I will definitely have more of this but I will probably split a bottle with a friend. Maybe two. Overall I think it's a fantastic and interesting beer.

Came out a darker fuller bodied gold color. Why did I think this was going tobe a brown ale? Aroma, a weird funky wood to it, belgian style yeast aroma, lemon, saisonesque.
Taste, tons of wood, that palo whatever stuff. Definitely leaves a distinct taste. Seems very much like chardonnay aged oak. Can't put my finger on it, but seems like it was aged in a non bourbon spirit. Obscure wood flavor really buries a lot on this beer. Definitely qualifies as different, even for two breweries renowned for being different. Cardamom is definitely in there. Alcohol too pronounced for me, all the lesser desireable flavors seem to be large and in charge here.

Poppaskull 750 ml bottle served in a Green Man snifter after the RNWG-2014
Hazy golden color with an irregular appearance. The head was thin and short-lived.
Aroma: heavy cardamon; vague additional spicing; moderate funk; bright fruitiness.
O: Over the top. Two great breweries join forces to produced a weak product? No small batch trial run for this one, I bet.

A - cloudy, a bit hazy, with light carbonation. Color is dark yellow with a brown tint. Small white head sitting on top.
S - the main scent is banana with a hint of bubblegum and clove. A hint of cinnamon mixes in there that is a bit unique fir the style
T - taste is banana with a hint of bubblegum; bit of malty sweetness dominates the flavor with a hint of oak of the end; bit sweet for my taste and much sweeter than the noise led on to
MF - bit thick with a hint of syrup; light carbonation on the back end that attempts to break down some of the sweet, stickiness of the beer but fails
D - Happy this was a one off since that is about the only time I would drink it. Too sweet for my taste especially for the style

(Served in a chalice) bottled 2010E
A- This beer has a light hazy light orange body with a sticky white film of head and a gentle carbonation of microbubbles.
S- There is a dry yeasty phenol that takes on a sweet musky aroma of men's calonge as it opens up. This is followed by a dry green grapefruit aroma and a soft bright but musty cardamom finish.
T- The flavorful yeasty flavor blends with a green earthy bite of hops and cardamom blended. There is a slightly sweet finish that rounds out the flavor nicely.
M- The medium-light mouthfeel and soft fizz compliments the flavor and there is no alcohol heat noticed.
D- This beer has a nice triple base with good yeast character that supports the green cardamom flavor without it becoming overpowering. The brandy barrel notes are very subtle and only add a dryness to the background but it adds a nice compliment to the rest of the beer. This is a creative twist on the triple, and it is very interesting to drink.

750 ml bottle into red wine stem.
A- Pours a nice carmel orange with a light bubbly haze. Thin pure white head, slight alcohol feeting. A pretty beer, could use a touch more head. Reminds me of a lot of other beers in look.
S- Grapes, Citris, light French Oak. Very fresh.
T- The brandy stands out but is kept in check by the fruit. Fades to all i can describe as a citrus bitter and cereal taste. Sweet yet sour. I can put my finger on it but this reminds me of some belgian i recently had at Hopleaf.
M- light almost like champagne. Probably the best attiribute.
D- I could session this but the high ABV will probably nail me as I finish this bottle. I can just foresee the hangover.
I didnt think I would like this one going into it, not my typical style but another solid offering from DFH.

A: Came in a snifter. Cloudy yellow/orange with a one finger head. Decent retention leaving a ring of bubbles around the top.
S: Has a nice spice aroma, some pepper, clove, and lemon. There is also some cinnamon and apple. I also get some bread and yeast.
T: A nice spiciness up front and some lemon/lemon zest and some apples. There is the distinct belgian/yeast flavor and a touch of wood from the palo.
M/D: Great carbonation with a nice light body considering the higher abv. Overall I like it, don't love it.

750 into a tulip glass.
Light copper color, good clarity, two fingers of off-white, long-lasting head.
Complex aroma; lemon, spices, Belgian yeast, no hop aroma.
Decent mouthfeel, medium-high carbonation.
Taste: not a fan. Cardamom was overbearing and masked whatever other flavors were trying to emerge. In spiced beers I like the spice to subtly add to the whole, like coriander does in a well-made witbier. In this beer the spice, overpowered everything.

3.28/5 rDev -13.9%
Lightly hazy daffodil yellow with a quick ivory rise that settles quickly towards the collars of the glass. Patchy lacing.
Sweet, lightly doughy nose, suggesting powdered sugared doughnuts, rock candy, and h-test of resiny, floral/minty/sweet cardamom. Some lime-y citrus peel teases out as it warms.
The mouth follows suit, bringing a template of a Belgian Strong Golden Ale: doughy, sugary sweet, and phenolic yeastiness suggestive of clove, and/or other spices. Here the cardamom overrides everything. It's fucking huge, and basically obnoxious, but I don't hate the flavor because it's fairly dynamic with it's floral, miny, sprucy, peppery, resiny, shiftiness. The Brandy barrel oak-aging doesn't even show up. There is a bit of woody, cinnamon/cedar nuance late, but had I not know better, I'd have credited it to the nuclear cardamom blast. This is a one note beer, and that note is C(ardamom)-Major. I almost like it, in a curried sort of way, but I'll even say "when". Too much, and not enough of other things.
Syrupy full bodied, with a fizzy up-front carbonation that dwindles with time. It's pretty much in line with most U.S. Belgian interpretations. A little heavy sweet, and a lot undercarbonated.
There is not much depth here, especially given the Dogfish/Three Floyds collaboration. A very basic Belgian-esque ale, spiked with a motherlode of cardamom.

Golden appearance here, with substantial lacing.
Nose is sweet, with accents of grapes, honey, and yeastiness. Already impressive and unique!
The palate is an explosive mix of fruitiness (like wine) with a swift kick of peppery spice at the finish, and a nice alcohol burn to follow it all up.
As the brew warms, the coriander spice becomes even more prominent.
Unique, ambitious, and a sensory experience that will remain in memory for some time.

At first glance I thought this would be a collaboration with Ska Brewing, given the skull on the label and what not. I also thought it would be dark. I was way off, but pleasantly surprised.
It pours a deep golden orange body beneath a two-fingered head of creamy white foam. Massive amounts of protein can be seen in suspension, giving it a hazy appearance; and the few fine bubbles seen rising travel fairly slowly, obviously working a bit to make their way through. Not much carbonation is indicated, but the head remains intact. As I tilt the glass back and forth it forms fairly thick, solid sheets of bright white lace; but if I hold it in any one position for even just a few seconds they fall apart rather quickly - odd for a beer that appears fairly viscous.
The nose is malty sweet and floral, and/or I'm guessing woody. I find it kind of like cedar but softer. It has a delicate, very gentle spiciness to it. The label states that it was "aged in oak brandy barrels" - Ahh, I find the brandy; and wait, it also mentions green cardamom and (pulling one from the spice rack) I see that that's exactly the floral/cedar aroma I'm finding. It's not nearly as full blown as the actual green cardamom seed pod, but it's certainly interesting.
The flavor is more sugary sweet than simply malt based, and that same floral and woody flavor is present along with some citrusy fruit. There's a subtle tang to it, and it takes on a grassy edge towards the finish, which simply seems to soften and fade away. It's smooth and elegant straight across without much variation, although it does dry nicely at the end. There's definitely a kind of floral component to it, be it from green cardamom and/or a combination with the yeasty fruitiness or not. Regardless, as it warms the actual yeast flavor becomes more apparent. It becomes a touch chalky, but still floral, and gently fruity like orange or tangerine, and some minor spiciness becomes apparent at the back of the throat in the lingering finish. Hmm, perhaps there's a drop of brandy as well; but otherwise the alcohol is not really apparent as it's masked by delicate spiciness.
In the mouth it's medium-full with a lightly viscous feel. There is some carbonation there, and it gently bristles the palate. Nice. That's needed with all of the gently syrupy malt.
Overall I find it a really unique beer that seems to find great focus in the spice and wood and floral character that it generates. It's not widely complex, but it's compelling. With a touch more dryness and a bit more carbonation you could call this a saison and no one would argue it - but why bother? It is what it is, and apparently it's a new style all its own.

750ml bottle, split and served with some curried cauliflower. consumed once before, but not rated
appearance: served in my great lakes chalice - hazy straw orange body, light beige foam with a nice ring of lace
smell: clean and medicinal, herbal, chamomile, notes of oak, brandy, cardamom
taste: interesting offering - a bit heavy on cardamom which makes this quite a bit herbal, notes of chamomile, orange peel, sugary sweet, white pepper, fresh cut flowers.
mouthfeel: medium body, nice moderate carbonation
overall: i like this better the 2nd time around, it paired quite well with the curry

Appearance: Pours a beautiful deep amber color with about a finger or so of soapy head that recedes pretty quickly. It's quite clear and it looks (and sounds) quite carbonated. Lacing is prominent and watery.
Smell: Smell fresh fruits like apple, pear, a little plum, on a bed of citrus. Smells a little musky or bready. There's a little bit of a flowery aroma, possibly mixed with some vanilla or caramel. Smells sweet and deadly.
Taste: A very complex brew. First taste is extremely fresh and crisp, like biting into a juicy orange or tangerine. There's definitely a syrupy, cloying quality to it, but it doesn't hang around long enough to be annoying. Quite hoppy but not bitter - a very well balanced beer. Finishes sweet and tangy, like a citrus cough-drop might. It's quite good.
Mouthfeel: For as daunting as the label is, this brew drinks really easily. The carbonation bubbles dance on the tongue and add a fresh quality to the beer. Finish is syrupy and hangs around a while - sort of coats the tongue.
Overall: Wow, this is a good beer. Perfect for a hot day when you need a kick in the pants. At 9.5%, this pint is going to be with me for a few hours. Might be a little irritatingly sweet for those who hang around higher IBUs, but still a very enjoyable beer. Bravo, DFH & 3F.

750 into a snifter. Poured a golden color, clear and with a bit of white head on it.
Smelled sweet and malty. Had a spice aroma to it lent by the cardamom.
The taste was sweet. The candi sugar was very brilliant in the flavor. The cardamom was pretty potent in there, almost overspiced the flavor a little. Didn't get much of the oak barrels in the flavor which leads me to the question of why even bother with putting 35% of it into barrels?
Had a nice balance for the most part. At first the carbonation was a little forward but after airing out a little it was nice.
Doesn't seem like a strong pale ale, it's more like a strong belgian golden ale. A bit heavy on the spice and sweetness for my liking. I think this was a decent brew to give a go at and I enjoyed drinking it, but seems like a lot of effort went into this brew for not that much of an outcome.

The Devils finally scored a goal, scored a second, and scored more than their opposition to win a game on Thursday. Can they do it again today?
The Time: 1:00 PM EDT
The Broadcast: TV - MSG, NHL Network (US); Radio - 1130 AM WBBR
The Matchup: The New Jersey Devils (16-17-10) vs. the Florida Panthers (13-24-6; SBN Blog: Litter Box Cats)
The Ticket Link for TiqIQ: It's the final weekend Devils home game of the regular season. You don't have a lot of time, but if you want to get to the game, then the secondary market may be your best bet. Go visit our partners at TiqIQ to find something on the secondary market: New Jersey Devils tickets.
The Last Devils Game: The Devils went down to Philadelphia to play their final regular season game of the 2013 season against the Flyers. It wasn't the best of starts, but early on Martin Brodeur was performing well in his crease and the Devils did establish some possession. Alas, the first period went without a goal, making it seven consecutive periods without a goal. Ryan Carter changed that in the second period. With the help of Steve Bernier, Stephen Gionta, and possibly the blade of Jakub Voracek's stick, Carter rifled one high to the top right corner past Ilya Bryzgalov. Not only did the Devils score, they were up one. And they continued to press on for a second goal, hitting the post twice among several other shots on Bryzgalov. In the third period, the Devils managed to do more than their opponents and actually were rewarded for it. Jacob Josefson stole a puck in the neutral zone, played it into space for Matt D`Agostini, and his teammate was off on a breakway. Bryzgalov got caught with his five-hole open and it was 2-0. The Devils held on and Adam Henrique tacked on an empty net goal to end it 3-0. The Devils scored, Brodeur got his 121st career shutout, and the ten-game winless streak was over. My jubilant-for-a-change recap is here.
The Last Panthers Game: On Thursday, the Florida Panthers went into MSG to play the New York Rangers. The Panthers' season is playing for pride again so they hoped to spoil the Blueshirts. That didn't happen. Derrick Brassard got a good bounce on a power play to make it 1-0 just over three minutes into the game. Rick Nash blasted one in on a power play later in the first to double the lead. Florida did make it interesting later that period when Jonathan Huberdeau scored. However, a close second period opened back up to a two-goal lead for the home team when Mats Zuccarello (Aside: what happened to the Aasen in his name?) backhanded one in 16:34 into the second. The third period really opened up within the final five minutes as Zuccarello tipped a puck in for his brace; Brassard scored to earn a brace; and Brad Richards finished off a move late for what would be the final score: 6-1. So much for spoiling the second best team in New York. Ryan Meier wasn't happy with the team's performance in his recap at Litter Box Cats.
The Last Devils-Panthers Game: Way back on March 30, the Devils went into Sunrise to play the Panthers. The Devils were coming off a shootout loss to Tampa Bay, an event that happened because the Bolts scored with the extra skater in the final minute. History would eventually repeat itself. Steve Bernier scored early with as the "toe" in a tic-tac-toe play by the CBGB line. Florida would equalize with a power play in the first period when a puck ricocheted off Shawn Matthias' skate and past Martin Brodeur. The second period was fairly lackluster from a Devils point of view as the Panthers did more with the puck. They would fight back in the third and go up 2-1 thanks to Bernier tipping a shot by Henrik Tallinder. However, the team didn't really keep Florida honest, and their desperate last-minute effort for an equalizer worked. Scottie Upshall got away with hitting a puck with a high-stick, the puck flew out to the middle, and Matthias finished it on Brodeur's left flank to make it 2-2. There would be no shootout as Dmitry Kulikov ended it in OT to make it a 3-2 loss. Ugh. Jerry wrote up the game here at ILWT. Here's his scoring chance count of the game which was, well, not kind to New Jersey or Florida. Over at LBC, Chris S Roberts praised Matthias in Florida "stealing" a victory in his recap.
The Goal: Make possession count as much as possible. That seems strange given that the Devils are one of the best teams in the league when it comes to getting shots through and generating attempts in 5-on-5 play. However, the last Devils-Panthers game was the last time the Devils got out-done in possession at even strength. Granted, the Devils did have a lead for stretches in the game. But their lack of offensive push was notable late in the game. It looked like the team just wanted to hold out until the end. That obviously didn't happen. It possibly could have been mitigated had the Devils kept the Panthers honest late in the game. The Panthers haven't been too bad in close-score situations this season, so they're not total doormats in the possession game. I think if the Devils can make them look like one, then they'll have a better chance to win this last matinee at the Rock this season.
The Panthers are currently on a four-game losing streak. Three of those four losses haven't been close. They got whipped 7-2 by Winnipeg, dropped 5-2 by the Isles, and ripped 6-1 by the Rangers. They did lose a close one to Pittsburgh at home 3-1 so there's that. Neither Scott Clemmensen (lit up by the Rangers) or Jakob Markstrom (crushed in the Jets and Isles games) have been super amazing in net as of late. If that wasn't enough, the team continues to be bit by the injury bug. Injuries to Filip Kuba and Tyson Strachan led the Panthers to call up Alex Petrovic before the Rangers game. As Harvey Fialkov reported at the Sun-Sentinel, he is their eighth player to make his NHL debut this season. The team is still without Kris Versteeg, Stephen Weiss, and Sean Bergenheim; three pretty big losses for a team producing only 2.3 goals per game - the third lowest rate in the league (and the Devils are worse than them, so don't gloat). They're also without anything resembling a decent penalty with a league-worst-by-far 72.9% success rate. Were they healthier, Jose Theodore plays instead of Clemmensen, and they get some better breaks, perhaps they don't rolled so much and not look to end the season with the worst record in the league.
Of course, in today's NHL, you disrespect your opponent at your own peril. The Panthers have a few players the Devils should watch for that you should be familiar with. First, there's Shawn Matthias. He got two against the Devils last time - albeit one was really off his skate - and he's tied for second on the team with 14 goals. He also averages over two shots per game. For a guy with an ATOI of 15:18, he could be one to watch. Second, there's Jonathan Huberdeau. He's leading all rookies in scoring and he's just behind Tomas Fleischmann with the team lead in points. He's got 14 goals, 14 assists, plenty of stickhandling moves, and 109 shots on net. Huberdeau and Matthias played together quite a bit on Thursday so we could see them both at the same time. Third, Fleischmann has brought the points (30), assists (21), and shots (108, third on the team) but not so much in the way of luck (8.3%). His regular linemate Tomas Kopecky, on the other hand, has it with 15 goals out of 87 shots. Yes, he's shooting over 17%. Don't be surprised if you see Fleischmann look for Kopecky to finish plays. Fourth, Peter Mueller may not have a lot of points with only 8 goals and 9 assists in 40 games. But he will definitely make an effort. He leads the team in shots with 122 and boy does he drive the play at even strength. Only Drew Shore and Quinton Howden among current regulars have higher on-ice Corsi rates per Behind the Net. Fifth, Brian Campbell has been the top defenseman for the Panthers by far. He averages over 26 minutes per game, he plays in all situations, and he's been productive with 7 goals and 14 assists. He may get very favorable zone starts according to Behind the Net, but he plays so much against so many opposition players that he's doing harder work than it appears. Among the Florida defense, he's the big threat at both ends.
Unfortunately a team with a several good players doesn't necessarily mean it's a good team. The team regularly allows over 31 shots per game on average. If the goaltending isn't good, then the Panthers are usually in trouble. While they have a potent power play led by Campbell (6 PPG with 9 PPA), their penalty killing has been awful. Their best goalie, Markstrom, has a save percentage of 92% at evens to a woeful 80.2% whenever the Panthers are down a man this season. The Panthers aren't necessarily terrible with discipline; they have the eleventh fewest shorthanded situations in the league at 140. They just struggle mightily when it happens. Maybe this could be the day the Devils power play functions more effectively. If anything, the Devils power play should just consider firing away given how the Panthers In any case, throw in Clemmensen not being good in either situation this season and it's no wonder the Panthers have the league-worst goals against per game average of 3.54.
Of course, I write all that and I remember the Devils have scored a whopping four goals in two games against this team. Still, I like the Devils' chances at lighting the lamp quite a bit. Again, the Panthers have been beaten down quite a bit in recent play and they have nothing much to play for. It's entirely reasonable to think the Devils could get the job done if they play more like they have been for the last two weeks or so.
As far as what the Devils will look like, Tom Gulitti's report of Friday's practice at Fire & Ice suggests the answer is status quo. It will be on the back end. Gulitti confirmed that Martin Brodeur will start in net today against the Panthers. Assuming he gets the Rangers game on Sunday, it's possible that Moose will watch this season end from the bench. With Bryce Salvador still hurt and Anton Volchenkov still suspended, the pairings in practice remained the same from Thursday's game. It seems to me that it'll be the same six guys today. I liked how the Devils defense played against the Flyers. I can't complain about how little they've allowed their opposition in prior games as a whole. Therefore, I wouldn't mind seeing those three pairings again. Hopefully, Andy Greene continues to be the leader of the pack.
Offensively, well, that too may stay the same. This would mean Andrei Loktionov remains out for Jacob Josefson, Tom Kostopoulos remains a spare, and the CBGB line that played so well on Thursday night stays united. This would also mean Ilya Kovalchuk is out again. He did practice on Friday but he was with the other extra forwards on Friday. If he practiced with the other regulars, then I would expect him to play. But it doesn't seem to be in the cards. Maybe when Peter DeBoer talks with him, things will change. Provided the other lines stay the same, I would keep a critical line on the unit of Adam Henrique, Dainius Zubrus, and David Clarkson. They didn't look very good on Thursday. Henrique had an off night with the puck and Clarkson was just a passenger. While the Devils aren't so hinged on those two players, the team would clearly be better off today if they both were more active and effective. I would very much like to see Clarkson actually shoot today - he didn't in Philly - and Henrique be able to catch a few more passes in motion.
Nevertheless, it'll be refreshing to see the team come out onto the ice fresh off a victory for the first time in weeks. Hopefully, the Devils manage to pull ahead so they don't have to worry about it being close, don't see an important player get injured, and get another win so it's not a repeat of the previous Devils-Panthers game at the Rock. It may not mean much in the bigger picture but better to go out with a high note than a low one. Besides, the Devils fans at the rock in recent games have been rather vocal, even getting excited early for pucks just missing wide. They want something to cheer for and I'm one of them. Let's root for the win.
That's my take on today's game. The goal breakdown of Carter's strike from Thursday will be up a little later in the morning. In the meantime, let me know what you think will happen in today's game. Will the Devils prevail? Will they score goals? Will Clarkson do anything good? Please leave your answers and other thoughts in the comments. Thank you for reading.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has announced that all roadways in north Louisiana that were impacted by winter-weather conditions have been reopened to traffic.
During this week's ice storm, DOTD activated emergency crews who worked around the clock, using resources and manpower to maintain the area's priority routes.
Priority routes for northwest Louisiana included; I-20, sections of I-49, La. 3132, and the major bridges over the Red River.
Priority routes or northeast Louisiana included; I-20, U.S. 165, U.S. 167, U.S. 425, U.S. 80, U.S. 65. In response to the freezing conditions, DOTD used more than 1 million pounds of salt to maintain priority routes throughout the area. At the peak of the storm, DOTD had 500 employees assisting with winter weather response activities. To help facilitate smoother traffic flow, DOTD's Motorist Assistant Patrol began running 24 hours in the Shreveport/Bossier City area for the duration of the event, with three MAP trucks available to assist motorists.
DOTD will continue to monitor the impacted areas to assess any possible roadway damage and quickly remove debris from roadways and state right-of-way. DOTD would like to remind motorists to continue to drive with caution at any time there are prolonged temperatures that are below freezing, it may take a while for some roads and bridges to completely thaw.
The DOTD says motorists can get real-time traffic updates and road conditions by using the 511 Traveler Information System by dialing
511 from their telephone and saying the route or region about which they are seeking information. Out-of-state travelers can call 1-888-ROAD-511 (1-888-762-3511). Travelers can also access this information by visiting the 511 Traveler Information Web site at www.511la.org.
Motorists can also obtain information regarding road closures by contacting DOTD's Customer Service Center at 1-877-4LA-DOTD (1-877-452-3683). The center is open 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Additionally, motorists can utilize the new "Way to Geaux" application to receive real-time, around the clock travel alerts. The hands-free, eyes-free smartphone application can be downloaded on any iPhone or Android device by visiting either the iTunes App Store, or Google Play.

Savannah\'s Voice
It has come to several Savannah residents\' attention that Huffines has taken it upon themselves to begin the development of building all brick homes in a "seperate" village in our community. This unsettling news has disrupted many homeowners and has led to several discussions relating to the new plans for our community. The homeowners of Savannah choose to live here for several reasons, but the one reason that was by far the greatest was the schematic community in which was promised by Huffines and its affiliates. In aid of maintaining the scheme and overall community likeness Huffines and its affiliates created a extremely strick HOA to ensure all rules and regulations were followed by all those who choose to call Savannah home. However, now in the midst of the new discussion of how Savannah will change, the homeowners are being forced to live by the law of the HOA and watch while Huffines changes everything that was initially designed and developed. Something must be done to stop the blatant corruption of our community in which we live. We ask that you voluntarily sign this petition in an attempt to halt the deliberate demise of the community that we call home.

Concord, NH – The NH Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is seeking the public's help in identifying uninsured damage to private property caused by the recent flooding in the March 14 rain storm. That includes property that was destroyed or suffered major damage.
The information will be used to support the state's application for federal disaster aid.
Property owners should report damage to the state by calling 211, New Hampshire's information and referral hotline, 24 hours a day. The information should be reported no later than Friday, March 26.
"The state needs to put together the strongest case it can for a federal disaster declaration," said Christopher M. Pope, Director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. "We intend to seek a disaster declaration for damage to both public infrastructure and private property and we need as much information about storm damage as we can get."
Pope stressed that the information-gathering process does not guarantee that the state will receive federal disaster assistance.Rainfalls of up to eight inches caused flood damage in Belknap, Carroll, Hillsborough, Grafton, Merrimack, Rockingham, Strafford and Sullivan counties March 14-17.

When last we left the saga of Fausto Carmona — now known as Roberto Hernandez Heredia after it was revealed he had stolen an identity in his home country, the Dominican Republic — he had agreed to take a pay cut from the Indians, in no small part because the Tribe learned he was really 28, not 31.
Now, a lobbyist hired by Carmona/Hernandez says he might be back in Cleveland soon. Paul Hoynes:
A lobbyist working on behalf of Roberto Hernandez, the Indians pitcher formerly known as Fausto Carmona, said he could be back in the United States by the All-Star break.
"I think there is a good chance Roberto could be in Cleveland by the All-Star break," said Stephen Payne, a visa expert and lobbyist hired by Hernandez's agents.
Hoynes further reports that Carmona/Hernandez is working out at the team's facility in the Dominican Republic, and that MLB likely won't suspend him when he returns to the USA:
The Indians have petitioned the U.S. State Department that the salary cut should serve as punishment enough. It's believed MLB and the players association feels the same.
It's confusing enough that Carmona now has the same name as the former reliever who pitched for 10 teams — including the Indians — from 1991 through 2007.

A team of Richland County Sheriff's deputies say they found evidence of an illegal gambling operation in a Lower Richland County home.
Deputies say officers from the Community Action Team responded to a Crimestoppers tip that illegal gambling was being run out of a house at 7522 Stone Street.
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott says deputies found seven illegal gambling machines, a .38 revolver, about $6,600 in cash, and a jar containing marijuana inside the home. Lott says deputies also found ledgers tallying payouts, IOUs, profit and loss.
Deputies arrested 73-year-old Betty Graham. She is accused of running the gambling operation. Sheriff Lott says she was charged in connection with operating a gambling house, the gaming machines and the drugs.
Graham was taken to Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center for a bond hearing.Copyright 2013 WIS. All rights reserved.

The Memphis Grizzlies held off the Los Angeles Clippers in a physical and high scoring contest, 118-105, to win the series 4-2 and book their spot in the Western Conference semifinals. The Grizzlies will move on to play the Oklahoma City Thunder, who beat the Houston Rockets in Game 6 as well on Friday night.
Zach Randolph led the way for the Grizzlies with 23 points, five rebounds and four assists, but he got plenty of help from Tony Allen. The shooting guard gave the Grizzlies 19 points, seven rebounds, six assists and four steals in magnificent performance to help eliminate the Clippers.
Los Angeles' elimination couldn't be laid at the feet of Chris Paul, who scored 28 points and added eight assists. Matt Barnes was the game's leading scorer with 30 points and and 10 rebounds too, but Caron Butler was the Clippers' only other player to score in double digits as they struggled to make up for the injured Blake Griffin, who managed just nine points and three rebounds in 14 minutes.
The first half was a foul-off as the two teams took turns beating each other up in front of three whistle-happy referees. The result was 32 first half fouls and 30 Grizzles free throws, which handed Memphis a 58-53 lead despite Marc Gasol taking just one shot in the first 24 minutes.
The parade to the free throw line didn't stop after halftime, either, although it did slow. But while Memphis knocked their foul shots down, making 38-of-47, LA made just 16-of-24.
The game remained close throughout the third quarter and looked like it would go into the fourth in single digits, but the Grizzlies made a 8-0 run to close the quarter. Jerryd Bayless capped the period with a buzzer beater three that ignited the FedEx Forum and floored the Clippers.
Paul did his best to bring the the Clippers back in the fourth quarter, bringing his team close on several occasions, but they couldn't crack through. Without Griffin at 100 percent, they just didn't have an answer for the Grizzlies.
The game ended with neither team at full strength thanks to Joey Crawford, who ejected Paul and Randolph in the final two minutes. By then, the game was already in the bag, but their exits typified the whole game. Paul walked off the floor angry and flabbergasted, while Randolph went to the locker room jumping up and down and egging on a crowd that will see him and the Grizzlies in the second round.
