Souls of Mischief has been one of the major architects of the Bay Area sound in rap music since the early '90s. "93 til Infinity" off of their debut album shot the group to meteoric success on the national radio charts and got them booked all over the world for concerts. Let's hear what Tajai has to say about their newest release, "Montezuma's Revenge," and Hiero business in general.

Getting a stuck plug out of a hole saw is nobody's favorite job. To make that task easier, Lenox put a stepped slot in the side of its Bi-Metal Speed Slot Hole Saw. The steps offer leverage points – three for large-diameter bits and one for small-diameter – for prying plugs up and out with a screwdriver. The walls of these hole saws are thinner than normal (like those of a thin-kerf saw blade) so it takes less power to drive them through the material. Saw sizes range from 9/16 inch to 6 inches in diameter. A number of kits are also available. ¦ Price: $7 to $110. www.lenoxtools.com.

Real Results From Real Women On Overactive Bladder
Mary Helen suffered with overactive bladder problems for ten years before finding BetterWOMAN.
"The most problematic part of bladder control is the fact that I have a busy life, I work, and my life was constantly interrupted with the needing to go to a bathroom all the time. I'd heard about BetterWOMAN from a magazine for people with incontinence.
I was looking for a natural herb and decided to give it a try. The other medicines I'd taken had side effects and dry mouth, and I knew that BetterWOMAN would't have side effects.
I always have pads on, and one day I went to the bathroom and the pad was dry, and I realized it was because of BetterWOMAN. I think women just need to give it a try. There's nothing they could possibly lose – and it will change their lives."

PEORIA, Ill. -- Authorities say that high winds may have caused a pair of semi turnovers on Tuesday.
Morton police responded to I-74 East near the Morton exit at 11:15 am. No injuries were reported and no citations have been issued.
Crews were able to right side the truck and clear the scene by 12:30 pm.
The second accident occured at 3 pm. Authorities say that the second accident happened at I-474 by the Farmington Road exit.
Traffic was reduced to one lane in both the eastbound and westbound
Crews have mostly been able to clean up the mess, but still warn motorists to be careful. The truck was hauling grain and authorities anticipate that the grain still on the ground could attract deer.

The Limestone County Commission put up several barriers blocking access to vehicles near two popular bridges. The commission says it's because they received complaints about drunk people damaging the area. But one resident disagrees and wants the barriers gone.
Mary Hice can't get enough of the Sugar Creek and the Iron Bridges.
"We fish, we swim, we put our canoes in and take our canoes out," said Hice.
The creek is on the Limestone County and Lauderdale County border. But recent action by Limestone County to rip out the boards at the end of one of the bridges and erect a dirt mound has Hice up in arms.
"Is that dangerous for our children," said Hice. "Would you want your children to come out here and swim?"
Limestone County Commissioner Ben Harrison said the commission received complaints of people partying too much and they're just trying to keep the area clean and safe.
That's a huge liability issue for the county and it's a safety issue," said Harrison.
Hice is gathering signatures and looking for a local group to adopt the area, patch some of the holes, and make the area a historical landmark.
"If you look around you can see there's not a lot of trash, there's not a lot of graffiti and what I see is a community trying to preserve a very important part of their history," said Hice.
The commission is willing to work with Hice and other residents to find a happy medium. Hice is all ears.
"I just don't want to lose this beautiful historic landmark," said Hice.

Towards the beginning of March, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke wasn't in the mood to designate an opening-day starter. He had two clear candidates in Yovani Gallardo and Zack Greinke, but he didn't want to choose back then, and no one can blame him - things change over time, and you don't need to rush with that kind of assignment. There's no benefit at all to designating an opening-day starter early, as opposed to late. Maybe by waiting, you'll even foster some competition!
Roenicke's come up with a name now.
Brewers announce Yovani Gallardo as opening day starter— DKnobler (@DKnobler) March 28, 2012
Did Gallardo earn the honor over Greinke with his spring performance? Hardly. Gallardo's allowed eight runs in 18 innings, with five walks and 16 strikeouts, while Greinke's allowed two runs in just over 12 innings, with one walk and 20 strikeouts. So that sinks in: Zack Greinke has one walk and 20 strikeouts this spring.
So if anything, Greinke's stock has risen more than Gallardo's over the course of the month. But Gallardo had the slightly sexier ERA last season, and probably more importantly, Gallardo was the Brewers' opening-day starter in 2011, and in 2010. This was a decision made out of inertia. Roenicke could have tabbed Greinke, sure, but Gallardo hasn't done anything to lose the honor, right? So the honor he keeps.

The Cincinnati Reds became the first team to clinch its division, defeating the Dodgers, 6-0, on Saturday. Mat Latos threw eight scoreless innings and Aroldis Chapman, who hadn't pitched since Sept. 10 with shoulder fatigue, closed the door on the Dodgers in the ninth.
Jay Bruce got the Reds on the board in the fourth with a solo homer to right field off of Dodgers starter Stephen Fife. Todd Frazier tacked on another run in the fifth when he singled home Brandon Phillips.
Phillips would hit a solo homer off Matt Guerrier in the seventh to give the Reds a three-run lead.
Jamey Wright came in for the eighth inning, and the Reds put the game out of reach. Frazier led off with a double, and Bruce followed with a walk. Chris Heisey laid down a bunt, which Wright picked up and threw away, allowing Frazier to score. After Dioner Navarro was walked intentionally, Zack Cozart singled to left to score two more runs.
The Reds are now 92-60, a half-game back of the Washington Nationals for the best record in the National League. The Dodgers have fallen to three games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the last Wild Card spot.
Reds manager Dusty Baker is still in a Chicago hospital as he receives treatment for an irregular heartbeat.

The Panthers announced Wednesday that Dave Gettleman has been hired as general manager.
Expanding the playoffs a bad idea

NFC East Spin cycle: Redskins claim first division title since 1999
The Redskins are in the playoffs and everyone else is home for the rest of the holidays. Surprised? So are we.
Manning will replace Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers on the NFC roster for the Pro Bowl.||||||| Rodgers dropped out because of knee and ankle issues, so Manning joins Atlanta's Matt Ryan - unless the Falcons make the Super Bowl - and New Orleans' Drew Brees as NFC quarterbacks. This will be Manning's second Pro Bowl. He played in the game in Honolulu following the 2008 season. He also made the NFC squad last season, but the Giants won the NFC championship and then the Super Bowl.
Manning threw five touchdowns for the Giants in their 42-7 victory over the Eagles on Sunday.||||||| He was 13 for 21 for 208 yards. He finished with 3,948 yards with 26 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
Manning went 14 for 28 for 150 yards and was sacked three times in Sunday's 33-14 loss to the Ravens.||||||| Manning avoided another game without a TD by connecting with Domenik Hixon late for a meaningless score. He threw for nearly 5,000 yards a year ago and sadly won't reach those heights in a disappointing 2012 for him and the defending Super Bowl champions.
Manning was 13 of 25 for 161 yards and two interceptions on Sunday against Atlanta.||||||| Manning has been picked off six times in New York's last five games, a span in which the Giants are 2-3 during.
Manning threw for 259 yards and a career high-tying four touchdowns during Sunday's 52-27 rout of New Orleans.||||||| After failing to throw a touchdown pass in Weeks 8-10, Manning has eight in his last three games. He should remain a low-end No. 1 QB down the stretch.

About Hunger
As the US slowly recovers from the most crippling recession in decades and the unemployment rate continues to hover around 9%, more Americans than ever since the Great Depression are having trouble putting food on the table. In record numbers, children, seniors and the working poor have joined the ranks of those more traditionally associated with food insecurity
the unemployed, the infirm, the disabled, and so on.
People who thought theyd always have a job or other source of income and would never need a helping hand now find they too are in need of food assistance. How could this happen in America, the wealthiest country on earth? The harsh reality is that times have changed, and radically.
In 2009, Feeding America, the national food bank network, conducted the largest, most comprehensive study ever of hunger in the US. Food banks across the country, including the Food Bank for Westchester, participated in the study. The results, published in Hunger in America 2010 are sobering.
Like the Food Bank for Westchester, food banks across the country are stepping up to meet the growing need. But the demands for food assistance have increased dramatically in recent years. In 2009, the Food Bank for Westchester had a 30% rise in demand for emergency food assistance; in 2010, the demand rose again by another 10%. We saw a rise in demand for other services also: SNAP (food stamp) applications quadrupled, and the BackPack Program, through which we supply weekend food for children, has increased to 36 sites serving over 1,700 children.
The Food Bank for Westchester has begun to meet the challenge for expanded services by relocating to a larger facility in Elmsford in early 2012. This larger space will enable us to greatly increase the amount of food we can distribute and the services we can provide. We are grateful that we are supported by a generous network of volunteers, donors and other supporters to accomplish our goals.

Conferences for High School Students
Movement Conference
Movement can be defined as "a change of place or posture, an organized effort to promote or attain an end," or more simply, "motion." Our Movement conference is our foundational effort towards pursuing our goal to help more communities to hear and be changed by the Gospel. Movement, a first and important step towards a more full understanding of the Christian story, mobilizes students to move forward into authentic faith and truth, and into a new way of being and acting in the world.
Movement is a highly interactive multimedia program designed specifically for high school juniors and seniors. This daylong conference focuses on understanding the Christian worldview by answering the question, "Who are we in relation to everything thing else that is?" By exploring God, humanity, and culture, students are challenged to think critically and gain new insight into the way Christian believers should live. Movement will engage any student with its use of pop culture examples, interactive breakout sessions led by our college staff, and fresh content.

Ribble Valley newsreader Mike West becomes new voice of BBC Final Score (From This Is Lancashire)
Ribble Valley newsreader Mike West becomes new voice of BBC Final Score
3:53pm Tuesday 22nd November 2011 in TV By Sam Chadderton, Reporter
A LANCASHIRE journalist and newsreader becomes the new voice of the classified football results on Saturday.
Mike West, who presents sports bulletins for BBC Radio Lancashire, is taking over from Tim Gudgin, who had been reading the scores out on Final Score since 1995.
Mike, 55, is originally from Liverpool and is an Evertonian, but has lived in the Ribble Valley for the past three decades.
Mr Gudgin did not want to move north as the programme relocated to Salford so the producers asked regional stations for nominations.
Mr West said: "I'd never thought about doing something like this, but when the opportunity came up I thought it's a great job to do.
"There will definitely be some nerves on Saturday as I've got two live readings to a huge audience.
"It's my first time doing anything like this and I'm following on from a broadcasting legend.
"I have been wandering round reading out mock results to myself trying to get that rise and fall tone right.
"Hopefully I'll get somewhere close to it."

If the weekly hadn't ignored Schmid, they wouldn't be calling his lead a "quirk." I doubt the Mercury or the daily are considering his lead a quirk...

Hurray for Camille Townsend!
Many thought MI was the gauntlet for Townsend. Not so. Just goes to show that she still has the majority support. Good for you Camille!

NEW YORK -- Time may not fly any faster than a baseball coming off David Wright's bat this season. But the years move quickly, regardless.
Wright already has been the Mets' third baseman for nine seasons. And the next run he drives in, No. 734, will push him past Darryl Strawberry as the franchise's all-time leader.
"It's a big deal to be able to drive in runs, but I don't know about records and stuff," said Wright, who had three RBIs in Atlanta on Wednesday night to bring his total to eight in nine games this season. "Straw was one of my favorite players growing up [in Norfolk, Va., where the Mets had their Triple-A team], and it's well documented I tried to emulate his swing.
"Getting to know him as a person has been great for me, and to be classified kind of in that category is pretty special. But numbers and personal things are nice to enjoy when you are done playing. It so difficult to pat yourself on the back and at the same time get ready for today's game.
After Friday night's loss to the Giants, in which he went 1-for-3 and extended his hitting streak to 10 games, Wright was leading the Majors with a .486 average.
"We're talking about 12 games into the season, a small sample size," he said. "The most important thing for me and the team is to gain some sort of consistency. We're a young team, we have to find a happy medium.
"The last couple games [losses in Atlanta], we played terrible. We have to find a way to stop that kind of bleeding before it gets out of hand. We haven't been able to do that in our losses.
"You are never as good as you are when you are going hot or a bad as when you are struggling. Have to find that happy medium and not ride that roller-coaster."
Hot, however, is hot. And a good start certainly beats the alternative. Indeed, according to manager Terry Collins, Wright will not concede that alternative.
"In 1994 [as Astros manager], what I saw from Jeff [Bagwell], it didn't matter what night it was, how many times he was up, every single at-bat meant something," recalled Collins. "Behind 5-0 or 10-0, he didn't just go up there to get the game over, and at the end of the year his numbers were enormous, even though that year was cut short.
"That's what I see of David. Every time he goes up, there he is, bound and determined to put a good swing on it."
Dickey, past knuckleballers celebrate new film
NEW YORK -- Not unexpectedly, R.A. Dickey found the movie "Knuckleball" gripping.
"I have seen a rough cut, and it was pretty neat," Dickey said. "It kind of captures the essence of the men who threw it."
The film will have a free premiere Saturday at the Tribeca Film Festival in advance of a national release this summer.
"They used [Tim Wakefield's] quest for 200 [wins] as kind of a story arc that they bounce on and off, exploring the men who threw the pitch -- Charlie [Hough], Phil [Niekro], [Tom] Candiotti, and [Jim] Bouton.
"The cinematography is fantastic. To capture what a knuckleball looks like in slow motion is pretty awesome. I think the movie does the pitch justice. A lot of time that pitch isn't given the proper respect."
Dickey appeared with Hough, his mentor, on the field before Friday opener against the Giants at Citi Field. The two were fixed up by Orel Hershiser and Buck Showalter while Dickey was making the conversion to full-time knuckleballer in 2005 with Texas.
"He watched me throw, changed my grip immediately, and that was one of the stepping stones to getting comfortable with it," Dickey said. "We have been connected ever since.
"He is on my speed dial whenever I start struggling. I can't turn to Mike Pelfrey for help with my knuckleball, I'll call [Hough] or [Wakefield] or Phil. I am the product of a lot of people who have poured into me in a way that has been very generous, and Charlie has been a big part of that."
Worth noting
After a tough start to the season, Ike Davis came into Friday night's game against the Giants with three home runs and six RBIs in his last four games.
"The first five or six games, they really pitched him tough," manager Terry Collins said. "Fastballs off the plate called strikes, and a steady stream off offspeed stuff. If it's a mistake, you have to do something with it, and Ike is starting to do that. He is seeing the ball better."

3.8/5 rDev -6.9%
Pours a murky honey gold topped by a thick, frothy bone-white head.
The aroma is all apple cider vinegar, barnyard, granny smith apples, grass and white wine. Funky.
Sour and funky. Sour and tart green apple. Like hay straight from the barn. Finish is dry and acidic with a light dusting of white pepper.
Mouthfeel is a light and vinegary.
Easy drinking for a style that's hard to take, but I can't help feeling it's a little green right now.

i really liked this one from lindemans, much better than some of their fruited stuff, and a much lighter take on they style than is available from others. its crystal clear after i pour from the capped and corked green glass bottle. radiantly clear really, yeast cake remains on the bottom of the bottle. head is fizzy and white but settles quickly, and there is a real champagne sort of look to it. the nose is only a bit sour, its still definitely blended lambic, no mistake about that, but it hass less of the lactic hotness of others, instead having a light wheat malt flavor and some yeast character other than sourness. its meadowy, springy, floral and very delicate. not a lugging weighty gueuze, but one to really drink up, like a glass of spring white wine, it seems to be the perfect compliment to a chickpea curry, but i can see it working in about a million food contexts. this is a good beer to introduce folks to the style with too, its less caustically acidic but equally refined as the others. i like it quite a bit, and am more excited to crack the bottle of faro lambic in the fridge now too!

Pours a medium orange with a light golded tint with a grear fluffy head that just leaves incredable lacing,aroma is ctrius and some soapy aromas in there as well.Taste a little subdued for the flavor (wich is fine with me)still rather sour and dry some real ripe green apple flavors in there,did I pick up some nutiness in there ass well?Although not a huge fan of the style this beer deserves good marks well made and not overpowering.

Bottle purchased from Discount Liquor for $7.50 quite some time ago (at least 18 months) and cellared although the bottle itself looks much older than that. Ill have to search it for a date later. Served in a large snifter.
Appearance: pale peach skin body with aggressive white head that quickly dissipates to an attractive, sticky lace.
Aroma: Potent and complex. Loads of apple and strawberry. Sweet lambic notes similar to the Lindemans fruit beers but tons of funk as well. Sour with lots of acidic lemon.
Taste: Fantastic. As foreshadowed by the aroma, this beer has a tremendous amount of sweet/tart fruit flavor, especially apple, and plenty of barnyard funky/citric/rotten hay and lemons. Some pale malt is found too.
Mouthfeel: The funk is much more controlled and purposeful in this gueuze as compared to others Ive tried. Its less sour than many but not less interesting. The combination of the tartness from the fruity yeast and the funk from the bacteria is great. The body remains crisp, fairly clean, and very drinkable too.
An A+ beer and much more than I was expecting from Lindemans.

3.81/5 rDev -6.6%
Pours a dense, golden-yellow color with copper tones kind of spread around the edges a bit. It's cloudy and murky, especially throughout the middle, with a huge and fluffy, slightly off-white head. Volatile and quick to expand, yet also pretty quick to settle into a fine skin. Not much lacing left behind.
The aroma is dense, somewhat heavy, and definitely "gueuze-like" - whooda thunk it, right? Chalk, mild sweet malt, barnyard funk, wet wood, tart fruit (apple skins, pear), mild sulfur and slight vegetation. Lots going on here, and you can definitely tell from the aroma that this one will be more funky than tart. As it warms up, the smells develop into deeper and more robust version of their former selves. Lots more funk from the yeast and tartness from the fruit.
First sip begins with an immediate, initial tart spike and an intense fruitiness; apples, pears, light banana, and maybe even some cherries. Not a moment later, the tartness is challenged and eventually replaced by an incoming funk that hits with a sharp bite midway through. Wet wood, damp cellar, lots of cork, funky yeast, musky and faintly sulfuric notes.
Lots of earthy and fruity esters scatter in the background. The finish leaves you with a lingering sweetness, a dying tartness, and a strong funkiness. Dry as can be - this will scrape the enamel off your teeth with it's unabashed dryness. Thin-medium body, carbonated out the wazoo.
Nothing world-class here, but it's tough when your competition includes breweries like Cantillon and Drie Fonteinen. Nevertheless, this is still decent for a "shelf gueuze", especially considering the fact that it can be purchased almost anywhere in the United States. Relatively cheap for the style, too.

This was my second smell-driven beer I tasted this week (the first being Westvleteren Blonde).
Smell: sulphur, minerals and hot springs. A little bit of apple in the smell, but also an acrid smell. I didn't pick up on the manure smell that some posters said they smell (that was more of the Westy Blonde). The smell is somewhere between unique, comforting and off-putting, if possible. Its like that SNL skit about smelling sour milk and how you have to go back for a second whiff.
Taste: less complex than the odour. It has a good gueuze taste without any of the sweetness I was afraid of finding (and that tends to be in inferior gueuzes). It was more of an apple taste than a sour lemony taste. Decent carbonation. Wish it had a fuller mouth feel to it. Wasn't as refreshing as I'd expect and palate-wise, was on the emptier/lighter side. Not a bad beer, but slightly disappointing.
Appearance: like a nice cider.
Overall, its a decent beer but slightly disappointing. Definitely a good entrance beer for those interested in lambics or gueuze, but not worth the $6/bottle that it costs in Ontario. I had 2 bottles and am not running out to buy more. Will age the 2nd bottle to see if any of the funky smell dissipates.

Bottle to snifter.
Look (3.5/5) - the look was a bit disappointing, really. The color is a rich gold. It's much too cloudy for the style, a little less than a witbier actually. The head rose quickly and was fairly large, but fell too fast and without any lacing.
Smell (4.5/5) - The smell was ideal. Some sourness, of a sharp sour-grape, berry, or crab-apple sort. The brunky-brett aroma (goat, hay) was in there as, but more gentle and balanced. Slight vanilla in the nose. A little bit reminiscent of sour sugar candy.
Flavor (5/5) - the flavor is excellent and well-balanced. A touch more malt than on the nose with a hint of sweetness to it (overall it is tart wheat and some biscuit). Medium-light sourness is certainly present, but not overpowering. It has the same fruity tones to it and the brett is a little less intense on the tongue than on the nose. The finish has a nice lasting tang.
Feel (4.5/5) - Very good. Light body and very high carbonation. Any more body and the sharp flavors wouldn't play all that well. Fizz compliments the long, sour finish.
Drink (4.5/5) - This was a great brew. Both very drinkable ad intensely flavorful. The brew would have been perfect, if not for the problems with its looks.

Lindemans Gueuze Cuvee Rene 750ml bottle capped and corked. 5% alcohol. Purchaced from The Beer Exchange Charleston SC. Poured into a German Strange.
A- Pours a heavily active three plus inch head that eventually falls to a half inch bubbley froth leaving patchy lacing on glass.
S- Fresh lemon zest and sour fruits upfront with mild but appearent sweet white grapes.
T-M- Taste is a great Gueuze sour note of sour apples and white grapes followed by tart yeasty malts. Puckering tart is exactly what I was looking for in this beer and i found it. Mouthfeel is mouth watering tartness leaving a refresh tongue ready for more.
D- I could put down pint after pint of this good brew. Haven't found nearby but ill try.

750ml bottle, dated 2006. Pours a light golden yellow with a thin white head that quickly diminishes to a thin collar.
The aroma is old funky yeast and some fruitiness.
The flavor is mostly sweet sparkling cider and lots of apple jolly ranchers with a little wood and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium with sharp carbonation.
Overall, this tastes a lot more like a sparkling cider or champagne than a beer. I was expecting a lot more traditional sourness - this was very sweet and alco-poppy.

No dating seen on the bottle- maybe there was something on the cork when the bartender had it? I was watching the guitarist and vaguely remember this being corked and capped...
Poured out from the bottle to a Chimay glass a clear and golden with just a bit of a thick and cloudy head that swirled across beautifully. Wonderfully dark wine cellary scents, very vineous with tons of fresh pipe tobacco scents. Difficult for me to describe the body on this one... maybe medium... Give it a swirl and you can get some carb, but not too much, not obnoxious amounts, there is good feel to it, it has a good fit. Wow, this is good stuff! This is what I want when I order a gueuze!! You feel the tartness coming at you before it hits your tongue! Yum! Lemon juice and tart granny smith apples, deeply wonderfully vineous and semi-sour. This is just amazingly good and goes down so easily. I was so happy to see this one in the Dawson's fridge! Happiness!

A- Hazy copper with some carbonation bubbles and a lot of haze. A nice one finger head that's larger and has better retention than is common in sours.
S- Yogurt, seawater, lemon pie, old wood, a touch of vinegar and vanilla. A nice blend, really inviting and complex, the oak really blends well here.
T- Medium tartness, lemon, wheat, apple and an oak and funk character that seems woody, dank and mysteriously dessert like. Not as complex as the smell with a higher cider character. The sourness becomes a bit stronger as it warms, letting the oak and grain shine less.
M- A bit thin and dry, as expected for the style but a bit lower carbonation would have allowed the flavors to come through better.
D- Not the most complex geuze that I have had but it is nuanced and blends well. Not so sour that I would mind drinking a few in a sitting, unlike some of this style (Oud Beersel for example).

Presentation: 750 ml green champagne magnum corked and capped with a vintage of 1994 on the label. The cork was in excellent condition showing no drying and a minimal amount moisture.
Appearance: Thin white lacing but it is a trademark Brussels style lace, spritzy with numerous tiny bubbles rushing to the top. Hazed hue makes it a dim golden colour.
Smell: Musty, chalky, cellar and corky huddle with mellow but sizeable tart aromas.
Taste: Light to moderate body, tartness is solid but modest as it has mellowed out over the years. Incredibly smooth and crisp. Fruity after the initial wake of tartness. Dry malt character is clean under tartness, musty flavours are more towards the end with hints of dry chalky yeast.
Notes: Simple but has depth, flavourful but not boisterous. This brew shows little aging flaws at all and perhaps could see another decade or two without turning as long as the cork holds up. I'll be seeking more bottles ASAP. This would be a good brew to break a newbie to the world of lambics.

Pours a cloudy golden color. The first smell that hits you is one of funk, with some vinegar and fruit mixed in as well. The flavor is very fruity with a good bit of funk and sour tart. This is not a beer with an extreme amount of sourness, but it has a near perfect mix of fruit, sourness and funkyness. This beer is extremely drinkable and finishes very dry. Outstanding beer.

Single corked bottle from the LCBO (!), which represents the first authentic gueuze I've seen in Ontario for about two years. Really excited to see this, as I've been eagerly anticipating another Lindemans brew after purchasing a few of the sweeter, fruitier varieties in the states.
Poured into my oft-neglected, rarely used Lindemans fluted souvenir glass. After popping the cork, what flowed forth was very champagne-like, bubbly and effervescent. When things settled down, what remained was a slightly murky honey-golden brew with lively bubbles of carbonation floating to the surface. And, like a champagne, the head, while initially mighty, quickly receded to a fine ring. While not much to look at, this was about right for the style.
The nose is classic gueuze: apple vinegar, hay, funk, wild farmland (how this is a "smell" is beyond me), lemon and dry apple cider. A year ago I would have hated this, but now my mouth is watering a little.
The sourness is quite overpowering at first, but as my tongue acclimatizes, I'm getting some interesting notes of dry apple cider, hay, yeast, a bit of earthiness and champagne grapes. Very, very sour, but oddly enough, I'm quite enjoying it. Light, airy, effervescent.
Though I've had a few brews that stylized themselves as gueuze, this was my first approach at something more authentic, and I have to say I'm digging it. That sour acidic taste is no longer something I'm avoiding, but rather something I'll actively seek out. Brews like this challenge one's perceptions of what a beer is, and the rewards are well worth the exploration. But, I totally understand if a lot of people will hate this, because its very, very different.

750ml gold foil topped bottle, April 2010 vintage poured into a Hill Farmstead tulip.
Pours a hazy orange color with a small off white head, no lacing. Nose is very funky and sour. Barnyard and a light frutiness. It's really nice.
For being so easy to find and cheap to buy its very good. However, it isn't quite as sour as I'd like, Cantillon and 3F have a much more sour funk and this is just lacking that. The Mouthfeel is very nice and full though, creamy and rich. The finish is dry and barnyardy. Quite approachable for a new sour drinker.

Sports & Bacon: Panthers make mistake cutting Smith
Thu. March 13, 2014 at 8:54 p.m. | By Joey Millwood
I'm not a Carolina Panthers fan.
I did, however, run out and get a Panthers hoodie in junior high school. It was definitely something that piqued my interest to have an NFL team in my own backyard.
With that said, it's surprising that I didn't immediately become a Panthers fan. I grew up five minutes from Gibbs Stadium at Wofford College where the Panthers training camp takes place.
It's the players who grab me though. I don't watch enough NFL to be a fan of one team. I'm interested in exciting and dynamic players who can grab my attention.
Steve Smith has always been one of those guys.
The guy is a fiery personality and if you look up "swag" in the dictionary, Smith's face will be right there staring back at you. He's not a big guy height-wise at 5 feet, 9 inches, but Smith is explosive and plays like he's eight-feet tall.
That's why I had to give a double take when I read this week that his jerseys were being taken off the shelves and a cut was imminent. I actually couldn't believe it. I thought it was just a lot of talk to keep pundits busy in the offseason.
Sure enough though, the axe dropped on Thursday when the Panthers released the player who many fans feel is the historical face of the franchise. Sure, the guy has had his problems.
Who hasn't in the No Fun League?
That doesn't detract from the fact that Smith is a beloved player. He's the best wide receiver the Panthers have ever had. He's played every season for Carolina since he was drafted in 2001. The guy's been a Pro Bowl selection five times and has eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving seven different times.
Heck, he hauled in more than 1,000 yards in 2007 when his quarterbacks were Vinny Testaverde, David Carr, Matt Moore and Jake Delhomme.
He's hauled in more than 12,000 yards for the Panthers.
The dude is a stud.
How many times do you think he's been double-teamed?
When the next-best receivers in team history are Muhsin Muhammed, Wesley Walls and Mark Carrier, you can bank on the fact that he's probably double-teamed every time he runs down the field.
It's a shame the Panthers had to release him. This wasn't the case of an old guy not willing to hang up his jersey. This was the case of a wide receiver that is still the best option on the team.
And above all else, he may not be the face of the franchise right now, but he's probably still the emotional leader. He's made big play after big play and gotten up to show off that famous swag.
It's a given that the NFL is a cold, unforgiving business. It's a given that contracts, for the most part, favor the owner versus the player. It's a fact that NFL players come and go more often than the professional counterparts in the NBA and the MLB.
It's a fact that the Panthers treated Smith poorly.
Most of the Carolina fans I know think this is a terrible idea. This wasn't like the fans running off Don Shula in Miami. This was the front office running off a fan favorite. No. 89 jerseys are all over the place in Charlotte on Sundays.
Smith deserved better.
Carolina Panther fans deserved better.
I feel for Cam Newton. I can't wait to see how many balls Brenton Bersin and Marvin McNutt catch next season.

I picked up 4 pack of this at the local supermarket by us in Luxembourg. The beer poured a brilliant gold color with a slight, very thin off white head. There was some nice retention on the glass. The aroma was scotchy and citrus. The taste was a bit spicy and also a bit of a caramel taste as well. After these tastes settled a bit, there was a bitter ending on the tongue that lasted awhile but was not overly pleasing. Still, this is a decent beer worth trying if you find it.

Given to me by a new colleague whose wife is from belgium. She brings beers back when she visits home (he doesn't realize it may have been a mistake telling me this . . .).
Strong candy sugar aroma and taste.
Sweet, yeasty, bready.
Bright orange, copper color. One finger, white foamy head.
Aromas of orange, mellon.
Medium bodied. Crisp, carbonated, alcoholic warmth.

A: pink like rose wine. very mild carbonation, barely any head.
S: also rose wine like, with plum, alcohol and strong sweetness and a tinge sour.
T: a strange and unpleasant prominent tartness cuts what seems like a very nice base flavor. alcohol. also rose wine like, pleasant and balanced under the not so nice veil. sad that the tartness ruins it for me.
M: medium body, tartness with low carbonation.
O: almost a good beer, with one major flaw.

330 ml bottle courtesy of ggaughan. A clear honey amber with a two finger head. Light retention but it thins to a wispy covering. Decent lacing down the glass. No visible carbonation.
Smell is sweet, malty, and banana Belgian yeast esters. A bit of alcohol. Some Belgian spice notes.
Taste is malt, fruits, light spices, and a bit of phenolic band-aid. Clean hops finish it out. Dry finish with crackers and a light alcohol.
Mouthfeel is really nice. Just enough weight and carbonation to chew on but not so heavy that I relegate it to meals and such.
Drinkability is good. Alcohol is well hidden but there. Still it is easy to drink a few.

BA ratings did not leave me much confidence in this Leffe despite the fact that Leffe is
generally good. However this one's quite a disappointment; I can't help feeling that this one's
did Leffe a disservice or maybe I had a bad bottle? My bottle was shipped from Belgium with a
nice Leffe 9 Souvenir set; I was not exactly excited to drink this beer but still, it is a Leffe
that I could not get in Singapore and by virtue that it's a Leffe, it is worth trying. The Leffe
9 pours out with a big generous head and above average retention; looking really good and foamy.
It is somewhat a slightly dark golden shade and smells of a sharp yeasty smell; probably a little
too sharp. This is probably going to be a typical Belgian Blond. The taste unfortunately says
the same; a strong yeasty taste greets the pellates at once and finishes off with a bitter
yeasty and slightly musky taste. Don't get me wrong, this is not the "spolit" kind of muskiness;
but to put it in a straight forward manner it was a little of a turn off. The salvaging aspects
in the taste was that it still tastes like a Leffe and the typical Leffe spices are present but
the yeast is clearly overpowering; and the yeasty bitter and slighly musky finish was the biggest
problem I had with it. The after taste was slightly yeasty and ends off very slightly citrusy;
however not much significance in the after taste actually, to be perfectly honest. Mouthfeel was
between medium to thick body and with a slightly high albeit acceptable carbonation level.
Smoothness was definitely there, for a high ABV beer like this. I was slighly intoxicated after
this 9 ABV one; it does feel strong... but the feeling of disappointment was way higher.

Pale amber, medium head fades quickly to small layer, leaving expected belgan lacing.
Aroma is of musty old books, the typical belgian doughy yeast, old straw and barnyards.
More doughyness form taste, as well as some banana, spices, hint of earthy hops and some faint vanilla or milk chocolate. Oh and the alcohol is definately noticeable.
Average mouthfeel, perhaps a bit too much carbonation.

Bottle: Poured a medium amber color ale with a big foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of spicy yeast with some peach flavoured malt and some alcohol. Taste is also dominated by some spicy yeast notes with some nice Belgian malt with some notes of fruit such as peach. Body is a bit thin for the style with too much filtration applied and some alcohol notes are also discernable. Not bad overall for a Inbev products but maybe a bit too much alcohol and sweetness IMHO.

A-Clear brownish-gold w/rich off-white head, nice retention, and bits of tracing.
S-Sweet rich malt, Belgian yeast and spice, clove, black dirt, hint ripe banana, more than a hint of alcohol.
T-Slightly sweet malt upfront w/doughy and spicy notes midway that carry into the dry finish.
M-Well-balanced, moderate carbonation, medium-bodied.
D-Definitely a sipper, but I'm confident I can still assemble some Ikea furniture if I tip back one more.

Sadly, I've only seen this come in these awful 25 cL bottles endemic to France.
A: Pretty amber color; cute head, though a little thin.
S: Hints of honeysuckle and oleander. I actually have no idea what oleander smells like, but it looks like it would smell like this beer.
T: Mirthful and worthy of careful tasting (what one calls dégustation in this country). Prepare for rampant sugariness, for better or worse.
M: This could stand a little more carbonation, so it's not so juicy. Nice aftertaste begs for another drink (which, at 9%, can be perilous).
O: Great beer to bring to a party; not so good with meals, much better with some kind of salty snack.

When I poured this into its Leffe glass I thought: "Whoo! Strong stuff!" And strong it is, at 9% alcohol. It's a beautiful, clear, golden brown liquid with a quickly receding head that wasn't much to begin with. Even at a slightly too warm temperature. It's pretty sweet, and heavy. It goes very well with crackers with old Beemster cheese. With my low tolerance for alcohol no more than two servings...
I got this as payment for fixing a friend's CB, purchased at Dirck iii. Luckily this great beer doesn't come in the cowardly 30 cl eurobottles (maybe transported to the Netherlands then bottled) but in a proper 33 cl "pijpje", imported from Belgium. No yeast deposit in the bottle, though.

The strongest Leffe, possibly meant as the brewer's most characterful beer.
Clear ale, color dark amber, nice creamy head and good carbonation.
Smell of malt, floral and herby. Slight alcohol, but not too bad.
The taste is very well balanced between hoppyness and malts, with a peppery finish.
The drink is not too sweet from slight caramel... in fact the aftertaste is more or less bitter-dry.
The alcohol is not too present in the mouthfeel.
This is an ok drinkable beer, but it lacks the complexity.

A: The beer is clear amber in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high light beige head that has very good retention properties and hardly died down.
S: Moderate aromas of dark fruits, light fruits, pale malts and yeast is present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell but has notes of spices and hints of alcohol towards the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. No dryness is perceptible.
O: This beer hides its alcohol rather will and isn't very difficult to drink. It has a lot of dark fruits for the style and seems a little like a Belgian Strong Dark Ale in some ways.

4th Beer in my 'Odd-Beer tasting evening: 18th June 2011.
33cl Brown bottle, best before 7th Sept 2012, poured into a stemmed Leffe tulip.
Looks impressive, filled the glass very well. Good well formed white head above a light amber body.
The smell is of very mild smoked ham and Belgian yeasts, add some vanilla wrapped in a banana skin and you're almost there.
The taste also seemed to have a smoked hint, as well as those yeasts in the smell. Alcohol is very evident in the taste, but the banana and vanilla from the smells appear too.
Medium body feel, Leffe get some bad press from a lot of Belgian beer fans, but this is fine.

Few aromas fairly interesting character in the delivery of high alcohol and smoke flavors and rich grain. Many malt too. Aftertaste pronounced. We mostly eat with this beer but it remains unattractive to the level of taste and most importantly, very heavy on the stomach and not very digestible.

In the co-main event of UFC 157: "Rousey vs. Carmouche" last night (Sat., Feb. 23, 2013) at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, Lyoto Machida defeated Dan Henderson via split decision.
That's the official result in the books.
In dispute, however, is whether or not the judges got it right. That means it's time to consult the Fight Metric report from the fine folks who are the official statistics provider for the UFC.
First, the striking:
Then, the grappling:
Finally, performance:
At a glance, it seems Henderson wasn't getting enough credit but the actual offense he was offering came mostly in the way of low kicks that landed with little damage. Machida held the edge in significant strikes and, as you can see in the performance rating, was far more effective throughout the duration of the bout.
Click here to head over to Fight Metric to see how they come up with as much.
Do we all agree Machida was the rightful winner? Or are there any Henderson champions out there?

Project Spurs: Spurs Interested In Brazilian C Hettsheimer
Good stuff from our friends over at PS. Hettsheimer most recently played for Zaragosa, a middle-of-the-pack team in Spain's top league, the ACB. I didn't watch any of their games since they had no Spurs-related players, but he puts up decent numbers in a tough league. This could be the "physical center" Lorbek referred to, and the "foreign big man" Blair referred to in recent comments.

The Lee County School District received a response from
the state office of the inspector general. It has to do with allegations
against Superintendent Dr. Joseph Burke.
The letter from the office of the inspector general asks the Lee County School Board to move forward with an independent investigation into two of the allegations against the superintendent.
The allegations are that Dr. Burke suspended an active Lee County
office of professional standards investigation concerning top administrator Dr.
Deedara Hicks.
Dr. Burke says he did so because he worried it was a violation of her medical privacy rights. The board told the state that since the state investigation was closed, the issue was resolved.
However, the inspector general says that response does not address whether Dr. Burke suspended an active Lee County investigation. And that additional investigation is necessary to determine if he acted appropriately.
As for the second allegation - that Dr. Burke transferred $1.6-million in grant money without board approval - the inspector general says that was adequately addressed.
But the third allegation states Burke spent more than $290,000 on
administrators instead of classrooms.
The inspector general says additional investigation is needed into this too.
Again, the letter from the office of the inspector general says the board
should move forward with an independent investigation.
The board must respond within 45 days with investigative findings and actions taken.

#1 national bestseller
When Pierre Elliott Trudeau died in 2000, the outpouring of emotion was extraordinary. Thousands of people across Canada — and all over the world — mourned the loss of one of our greatest prime ministers, a man who touched the hearts and challenged the minds of a nation. In this book, Trudeau's close friend Nancy Southam has gathered more than 140 reminiscences and anecdotal narratives from journalists, former world leaders, politicians who battled and debated him, his sons' friends, RCMP bodyguards, girlfriends, canoeing buddies, and household staff. Among the contributors are luminaries as diverse as Conrad Black, Jean Chrétien, Leonard Cohen, John Kenneth Galbraith, Ivan Head, Jacques Hébert, Karen Kain, Margot Kidder, Harrison McCain, Toni Onley, Gordon Pinsent, Christopher Plummer, Roy Romanow, Ed Schreyer, and Barbra Streisand. With the blessing of his sons, Justin and Sacha, Southam has put together a remarkably transparent account of a deeply private person that is funny, honest, affectionate, and illuminating.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
"[Southam's] observations on Trudeau . . . are intimate, arresting, funny and deeply affecting. They and so many others here reveal a humanity and vulnerability which only those closest to him could see behind the cerebral, ascetic, stoic public man."
— Andrew Cohen, Globe and Mail
"Lavishly illustrated and easy to peruse, Pierre is grist for the mill for readers who revere Canada's most controversial, yet celebrated politician."
— London Free Press
"Arrogant, shy, charming, rude, kind, thoughtless — all the contradictory traits of Canada's best-known 20th century prime minister, Pierre Trudeau, show up in this collection of anecdotes by friends and colleagues. . . . Love him or hate him, Trudeau was a one-off, and Southam's book shows him in all his vaunted complexity."
— Toronto Sun
From the Trade Paperback edition.
Journalist and author Nancy Southam is the editor of Remembering Richard: An Informal Portrait of Richard Hatfield. Southam was a neighbour, travelling companion, and close friend of Pierre Elliott Trudeau in Montreal.

The St. Louis Cardinals have had more than their share of injuries in 2012. It hasn't seemed to matter much -- they won again Tuesday night and remain in first place in the NL Central.
They might have lost yet another player; utility man Matt Carpenter could have suffered an oblique injury after hitting a double. Jennifer Langosch:
"I got to second and knew something wasn't right, but I didn't know what it was," Carpenter said. "It scares you more than anything. As the night went on, it got gradually better."
Carpenter will undergo an MRI exam on Wednesday to determine whether there was any tear to his oblique muscle. If not, he may be able to avoid joining six other teammates on the disabled list.
"There's something going on there, but it might not be to the extent that we thought," [manager Mike] Matheny said. "Hopefully, what the trainers are seeing right now is something we can get in front of."
Oblique injuries are tricky; at first, they might not seem serious, but some players miss up to a month with them. With six players already on the DL, the Cardinals can ill afford to lose anyone else.

Sirius Maple Dessert WineThe flavors of Northern Michigan. We fortify our apple cider with our barrel aged Spirit of Apple brandy and sweeten it with Michigan maple syrup.
Flavor and Aroma:
Distinctly apple layered with sweet barrel aromas. The maple flavor stands out and lingers long on the finish.
Aging Potential:
Enjoy this wine for the next five to ten years.
Thoughts for Food:
Try cooking with this one! Or use as an after dinner treat accompanied with our Apple Brandy marinated cigars. Some cooking possibilities are tart tatin, or apple pie, waffle or pancake sauces, & pears baked in a Sirius Maple Sauce. Another idea is to combine this dessert wine with our more potent Apple Brandy for a relaxing after dinner cocktail.
Wine Makers Comments:
This port styled dessert wine has been described as the perfect balance of apple and maple flavors, one never dominating the other, all the way to the finish.
