CHICAGO (AP) -- Pekka Rinne made 24 saves and the Nashville Predators ended the Chicago Blackhawks' five-game winning streak with a 6-1 victory Sunday night.
Matt Halischuk, Andrei Kostitsyn, Patric Hornqvist, Francis Bouillon, Shea Weber and Mike Fisher scored for the Predators, who matched their season high with the six goals. Viktor Stalberg had Chicago's lone score.
The victory sends the Predators into fourth place in the Western Conference with 96 points, one ahead of Detroit and four more than the sixth-place Blackhawks. Nashville is now 4-0-1 against Chicago this season.
Nashville's leading scorer Martin Erat, who has tied a career high with 57 points, was scratched with an upper-body injury, although he logged 19 minutes Saturday night in a win over Winnipeg.

James W. "Bill" Heavener Football Complex
Griffin-Oakley Strength & Conditioning Complex
The new weight room is the crowning jewel of the new facility. The first thing the strength and conditioning staff needed was more space. The old weight room had less than 10,000 square feet and after the renovation, it features close to 25,000 square feet at the staff's disposal.
The Gators' new weight room includes an area of turf that is 50 yards long, which also allows for multiple teams to use the weight room at the same time.
There is also no shortage of technology in the weight room. There are two stations set up that can take 360-degree video, which allows players to go back and work on technique which Marotti can break down on a telestrator. Add in a state-of-the-art sound system and high-def TVs and this weight room has it all.

Saint Vitus Biography
Saint Vitus is a doom metal band, formed 1979 in California, USA Saint Vitus is known as one of the first doom metal bands, starting out as early as the late 1970s. The band first used the name Tyrant, with Scott Reagers (vocals), Dave Chandler (guitar), Mark Adams (bass), and Armando Acosta (drums), but soon changed their name to Saint Vitus after the song St. Vitus' Dance by Black Sabbath. Their main influences were Black Sabbath, Pentagram and Black Flag. Under this line-up Saint Vitus recorded 2 albums (Saint Vitus & Hallow's Victim) and an EP (The Walking Dead). After The Walking Dead Reagers left the band and was replaced by The Obsessed frontman Scott 'Wino' Weinrich (at this time, The Obsessed had only released one 7"). Wino recorded three studio albums (Born Too Late, Mournful Cries & V), a live album (Live), and an EP (Thirsty and Miserable, featuring the Black Flag cover of the same name) with Vitus. He left the band in 1991 to reform The Obsessed after Vitus's label, Hellhound Records, released an album of older Obsessed recordings. Christian Lindersson (of Count Raven) left his band to fill in on vocals. He would record only one album, C.O.D. before being replaced by original Vitus vocalist, Scott Reagers. Reagers recorded vocals for the band's final album, Die Healing in 1995. Chandler has recently resurfaced in a new band, Debris, Inc., along with Trouble bassist Ron Holzner. On July 1st, 2003, the classic Born Too Late line-up (Weinrich, Chandler, Adams, Acosta) played a gig at Double Door in Chicago. The performance was recorded and released on a DVD that is distributed through Chandler's current band, Debris, Inc.

Photography > Digital Cameras > Nikon > Nikon SLR
The Nikon D610 DSLR Camera features a full-frame, FX-format 24.3 megapixel CMOS sensor and EXPEED 3 image processor to produce high-resolution still imagery and full HD 1080p video with notable image detail and low-light sensitivity to an expandable ISO 25600. The sensor and processor work together to enable high image quality with a wide dynamic range and high signal-to-noise ratio that produces both smooth color and tonal gradations with low noise levels for enhanced overall clarity. These two technologies also combine to provide a wealth of speed throughout the D610, including a continuous shooting rate of 6 fps and a quiet shooting mode that allows the camera to record sequential imagery without the mirror raising or lowering.
A Multi-CAM 4800 AF sensor is integrated into the camera's design and produces fast autofocus speeds using a 39-point array to precisely acquire focus in a wide array of lighting conditions. Seven of the central AF points are compatible with f/8 or faster lenses, which greatly enhances the autofocus performance with longer, telephoto lenses used in combination with teleconverters. When recording movies or working in live view, a contrast-detection focusing method works to continuously deliver accurate focus with subject-tracking and face-detection capabilities using the full-time servo mode.
Full HD 1080p video is supported up to 30 fps in the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format and manual control over the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture is possible for optimized control over the look and feel of movies. Uncompressed recording is possible with an optional external recorder connected via the HDMI port and, additionally, both headphone and microphone ports are available for refined control over recorded sound.
Extending the D610's connectivity, an accessory terminal is compatible with the optional WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter and GP-1A GPS Unit for wireless image sharing, remote camera control, and geotagging capabilities.
Included with the D610 body are the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR and AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED lenses, which together cover an extensive range of perspectives from wide-angle to telephoto lengths. Both lenses feature VR (Vibration Reduction) to minimize the appearance of camera shake and both also integrate extra-low dispersion elements into their constructions to minimize chromatic aberrations and produce imagery with noted sharpness and clarity.

Apples and Cinnamon - The Right Fruit for Your Body - Moisurizing Dry Skin
By Nancy Lonsdorf, MD,
Q I often hear the old saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." But how good are apples really, and does cooking them with cinnamon offer any health benefits?
A Apples are indeed nutritious—and delicious! Besides being rich in fiber, they pack a wealth of antioxidants and cancer-fighting substances such as quercetin and flavonoids. Eating one or more apples daily may lower your risk for Alzheimer's disease and cancers of the breast, colon, and prostate. Apples also fall low on the glycemic index, meaning they don't cause unhealthy spikes in blood sugar.
Ayurveda—the ancient health practice of India—describes apples as "kapha balancing," meaning they help the body metabolize sugar and fat, as well as help reduce excess weight and mucus congestion in the body. Interestingly, modern research confirms these ancient beliefs with discoveries that eating apples may help prevent asthma, COPD (a congestive lung condition), and diabetes. In fact, in an October 2005 study, women who ate one apple per day reduced their type-2 diabetes risk by 28 percent. Apples therefore qualify as an especially good fruit choice for those prone to excess weight, asthma, bronchitis, or high blood sugar.
The pungent, aromatic spice cinnamon has long been added to cooked apples, apple pie, and apple crisp. By a curious serendipity, recent research, particularly a study done by the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Maryland, has discovered that cinnamon also improves sugar metabolism by making cells more responsive to insulin. So a dash of cinnamon with your apple not only eases the sweetness but also boosts your body's sugar-burning ability.
Some people find the crunchy, rough texture of raw apples hard on their digestion, leading to gas or bloating. You can solve this problem by cooking the apples and, if absolutely necessary, removing the skin, which unfortunately removes some of the fiber. Try baking an apple in the oven for an hour at 350 degrees or simmer apple slices in a little water on the stovetop for 30 minutes for a delicious treat. And don't forget the cinnamon!
Q Besides apples, what are some other "good" fruits?
A Evidence to date suggests that nature hasn't yet managed to make a bad fruit! But as with beauty, the goodness of fruit depends on the beholder.
Ayurveda describes specific fruits as particularly suitable, balancing, or even healing for individuals with certain body types. Those dominated by air and space, the "vata types," tend to be thin, vivacious, and prone to weak digestion and a lack of stamina. Fruits that balance and strengthen vatas usually are sweet, rich, and nourishing, such as cherries, peaches, avocados, coconuts, bananas, mangoes, dates, apricots, and cooked fruits.
Dominated by fire, "pitta types" are by nature ambitious and energetic. They can eat and digest anything but are inclined toward skin inflammation, heartburn, and other "hot" symptoms. Cooling fruits that balanc...

The city's mayor's forum drew a large crowd Monday evening to hear the views, plans and ask questions of each candidate running for mayor in the April 9 election.
The event, sponsored by the Hoopeston Chronicle, was conducted at Ira Owen Kreager American Legion Post 384 with Valarie Paulson, Hoopeston Chamber president, acting as moderator, and Jordan Crook presenting the candidates.
Ten questions were asked of candidate incumbent Mayor Bill Crusinberry and challenger Jeramy Dobkins, with each given a minute to respond to the questions and 30 seconds for rebuttals following the answers.
Crusinberry said as a former independent business owner of Crunch's, he "has the insight to the business climate" and as the present mayor, the experience behind him as a facilitator and, with the council, has been a good budget manager.
Dobkins said as part of the younger generation, he will bring more ideas to the position and take the city into the next generation. He wants to "make sure my generation takes an active part for the future of the community."
Both men agreed that finances were among the most important issues for the city, but differed on the ways to continue to achieve a balanced budget.
"We had a balanced budget all eight years, zero debts and pensions completely funded," said Crusinberry of his administration as both alderman and mayor. "The elected officials' job is to watch the line items, keep its budget in check and work within the budget as finances allow." He added the city puts money into accrual funds for each department each year to prepare for needed or unexpected repairs to equipment.
He also said the state now wants to "rob local governments" of part of its distribution funds, which it receives each year from state taxes. States officials want to take part of the municipality's taxes to bail themselves out of debt. The city plans to join other municipalities to fight the state's plan.
Dobkins feels lack of jobs, industry and an aging infrastructure are part of the issues facing Hoopeston. He proposes cutting expenditures to improve finances by using employees to do some of the work that is contracted out, training employees to do jobs such as concrete work to revitalize sidewalks, fix vehicles in-house and make smaller carpentry improvements to save money.
Crusinberry said the city does not have the number of employees it had 20 years ago to do repairs in-house.
"I would not add construction to city employees," Crusinberry added.
Projects that are federally or state funded, according to Crusinberry, cannot be done in-house. These jobs are required to be done professionally at prevailing wages. Financially, the city could not afford to do some of the projects that run into the millions of dollars without federal- or state-funded projects.
Dobkins also said looking at green energy jobs is a growing field to pursue for Hoopeston.
"Green energy jobs are what's growing. One hundred and four of those companies are looking to expand," said Dobkins. "We should actively go after them."
Another hot item that received a lot of attention was the problem of empty buildings and houses. Currently Hoopeston has about 30 houses that need rehabilitated or torn down, according to Crusinberry, plus several businesses.
Dobkins feels that Hoopeston needs to enforce the building codes more forcibly and possibly use the Tax Increment Financing funds to rehabilitate or tear them down. He added Danville sent some of their employees for training and they tear down a house for $4,000.
Crusinberry explained this is a sensitive area and it all comes back to money and absentee owners that have to be taken to court. The cost to tear down buildings is not the problem, it is disposing of the debris. Disposing of 30 houses would cost the city about $180,000.
Crusinberry added the city is looking at a new approach to abandon buildings, adding a $1 to the sales tax with the first $50,000 collected to buy the property and take the houses down and the next $25,000 to buy and take down the buildings. A sales tax increase would have to be voted on by the residents of Hoopeston, he said. Hoopeston's sales tax at present is 6.75 cents on each $1 while Danville and Champaign are more than 9 cents.
Resident Claudia DeWitt asked about the Willdon Building, which the city has tried unsuccessfully to rid itself of in various ways, including giving it away.
Dobkins said, "We have to ask if it's cheaper to tear it down or market it. We need to look at the options out there that we don't know about at this time.
Crusinberry asked "What is it the residents want us to do with it and where to get the money?" The building, he added, is secured and structurally sound. It is a five-story, steel-structured building.
In closing statements, Crusinberry commented on the improvements made in the last fours year by local businesses to the tune of $30 million in improvements to buildings and in construction of new buildings and homes, a DACC satellite campus, balanced budget, working with the Economic Development committee, Vermilion Advantage and the possibility of a motel in the future.
Dobkins also spoke of a multifaceted plan, working with the Economic Development committee and Vermilion Advantage to increase Hoopeston's continuing comeback, and using vacant structures as capital.

Domain Transfers (and Hijackings) to Become Easier
So... check the status on domain names in all your portfolios by Thursday night. I'm sure the chaos will be focused, but it will be more than a bit hard to deal with if you lose your name and don't realize it for a month or two.Domain names could become easier to hijack as a change in domain transfer rules takes effect Friday. Under new rules set by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), domain transfer requests will be automatically approved in five days unless they are explicitly denied by the account owner. This is a change from current procedure, in which a domain's ownership and nameservers remain unchanged if there is no response to a transfer request.
This could mean trouble for domain owners who don't closely manage their records. Domains with incorrect e-mail addresses and outdated administrative contact information are at particular risk, as the domain's WHOIS database information will be used to inform domain owners of transfer requests. A non-response becomes the equivalent of answering "yes" to a transfer request, according to the ICANN policy change.

Earlier this week, a massive dust storm engulfed Phoenix, providing eye-popping images that made the national news. News anchors latched onto the Arabic word haboob to describe it — even though Arabs have as many words for "dust storm" as Eskimos do for "snow."
And while I prefer not to show clips from divisive talking heads like Rachel Maddow, I have to credit her team with putting together a supercut of reporters saying "haboob" (video below). Sometimes a big set of haboobs roll through town and everything gets all dirty. It's no laughing matter. People can choke in haboobs. It's impossible to take your eyes off of them.

The first time I heard the word convergence being applied to what I do, it was in regard to information technology (IT) being used to manage the operation of and deliver content to installed audiovisual (AV) systems. In its simplest form, the convergence of AV/IT (or is it IT/AV?) meant sharing wires. More importantly, it meant two silos of human knowledge agreeing on a lot of important issues like protocols, bandwidth, and control. Live events are a lot more complicated than meeting rooms. When we talk about convergence in the show world, no one is really sure how far it will take us. Technology, people, and philosophies are all under pressure to converge in one way or another. With so much at stake, we need to pay attention to how our companies deal with these challenges. As an industry, we need to make sure our traditions don't get in the way of progress.
Today, Convergence (with a capital "C") has become a distraction within the theatre, audiovisual, and concert/entertainment worlds. The shared space between lighting and video is poised to become a battleground. Concert audio is competing with corporate AV, and everyone is trying to capitalize on LED technology. In the process, production designers find themselves working on a wide variety of projects with technology providers they never knew existed. It is not that unusual to find a lighting designer with Broadway credits lighting a car show designed and constructed by an exhibit builder with rental equipment provided by an AV company. More than we'd like to admit, economics often force us into even more diverse partnerships. What is the world coming to?
We can't stop change, but we can engineer a smoother ride. A lot of the bumps seem to revolve around the negative connotation of the word convergence. It is a perfectly good description of what has been happening — "the merging of groups that were originally opposed or very different" — but it just doesn't sit right with most folks. I think I have figured out what's wrong. Convergence implies that something or someone is forcing those groups together toward an inevitable collision, like the one that often happens when two departments are forced to interact, and no one is sure where responsibility begins and ends. If convergence is inevitable, then we need more than a better word. We need a better concept. Enter Unification. Think about events that have been very successful in your career — the feeling you had as they evolved; the high everyone experienced during the performance; the emotion you felt when the show was over. You weren't converged; you were unified. It was all about the show. Unification is about things coming together. It is evolution rather than revolution. There is hope in unity.
Unification has to be more than a word; we need to be able to see it. There are three basic priorities when producing a live event: design, technology, and approach. These are the measurable qualities of unification. With all apologies to those who are offended by characterization, our industry is comprised of either theatre, concert, or audio visual originated businesses. The theatre world has traditionally put the art first. It is design driven. While the concert business is decidedly technological, its primary emphasis is on the approach — the process of staging large events. AV is all about technology. Through years of evolution, each type of business has embraced ever-larger amounts of the other two elements, creating a small but growing shared space of unified production. Theatre adopts new approaches, entertainment uses more technology, and corporate events embrace design. The challenge is what happens when you put theatre, concert, and AV elements into one show. If you throw a bunch of artists, roadies, and geeks together, you just might end up with a lot of conflict. An event can only be as unified as the players who are converging. As an AV person, I can say this: we are the least unified discipline in the presentation industry. Let me show you why.
If we look at design, technology, and approach as quantities a company can possess, then the amount of overlap — their shared space — signifies that firm's level of internal unification. AV folks are basically geeks, so we use charts to understand things better. The typical AV Unification chart (Figure 1) is pretty lopsided, with just a big technology sphere and a small and only slightly overlapping approach sphere. The design element is not a major influence. Concert (Figure 2) and theatre (Figure 3) entities are decidedly more unified, with larger secondary elements and more shared space. This describes the companies or people involved in a live event, but to reflect the event itself, you need to go three-dimensional. The unified company (Figure 4) has equal helpings of design, technology, and approach, but a unified event needs well-balanced players in all positions.
So why is this important to the readers of Live Design? AV companies are an important piece of this puzzle, which is precisely why we are part of the new Live Design magazine format. We have an opportunity to share space with centuries of show business tradition provided by our theatre colleagues. Concert staging can teach us a lot about how to consistently package and move vast quantities of gear. They are also very good at adapting new technology and pushing its limits. If we can learn from them, then maybe we can teach something about image quality and signal integrity.
Unification will happen, and when it does, everyone wins. The unprepared will find themselves coping with convergence instead…and some may not survive the impact. In practical terms, this means that we AV folks need to work our way into the creative design process and hone our approach to staging, while we continue to apply new technologies to our craft. As you increase the amount of your unified space — design, technology, and approach — you will find it easier to work with other unified companies. You can learn a lot from these people and maybe even teach a thing or two. If nothing else, you can at least call what we are experiencing something other than the C-word.

Special Funds of the League
The Washington Animal Rescue League maintains numerous funds to support different aspects of animal rescue and protection. Gifts to these funds are designated to provide critical support for these promising endeavors.
Emergency Preparedness Fund
To ensure that we are always ready for the all-too-unexpected situations that Mother Nature can throw our way, the League has established this fund. The goal is to ensure the care and comfort of all of our cats and dogs, as well as our staff and volunteers, without missing a single beat. With this objective in mind, we will purchase numerous supplies, including the following items: lanterns, flashlights, fans, bottled water, gas cards, first aid kits, cat carriers, and dog crates. Your support will help us be completely ready to go in the next emergency, whether it is a power outage, hurricane, snowstorm, etc.Donate to the Emergency Preparedness Fund
Disaster Rescue Fund
The Washington Animal Rescue League's mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals who have nowhere else to go. Consequently, the League always stands ready for emergency situations.
When puppy mills and hoarding facilities are raided, the most emaciated and tormented dogs find relief in our Medical Center and shelter. When natural disasters occur, the League readies itself for incoming animals whose homes and families were destroyed by floods or fire.
These emergency rescues stretch our resources very thin. To assure that we can be ready at a moment's notice when disaster strikes, we have instituted the Disaster Rescue Fund. This fund ensures transport and care for large-scale dog and cat rescues from puppy mills, hoarding situations, natural disasters, fires, and whatever other catastrophes hurt and displace large numbers of animals.
We were only prepared to meet the above-mentioned situations thanks to the generosity of private donors before the disasters occurred. Now, by giving to the Disaster Rescue Fund, your gift will ensure that we can continue to be there when dogs and cats are freed from the direst conditions.
Donate to the Disaster Rescue Fund
Love Fund
The Love Fund provides medical care for seriously sick and injured animals. Some of these are shelter animals. Others are the pets of low-income guardians who cannot afford the cost of major veterinary treatments. Without the help of the Love Fund, these caring guardians would have no other choice but to surrender their sick or injured companion to a shelter. Each year the fund assists hundreds of animals suffering from fractures, infectious diseases, gunshot wounds and other life-threatening conditions.
Silver Whiskers Club for Cats
The Silver Whiskers Club helps older and special-needs cats find loving homes by paying the adoption fees and providing their adopters with all the equipment their new companions need. It also provides free lifetime medical care at the League's Medical Center.
Donate to the Silver Whiskers Club for Cats
Hope Fund for Dogs
By providing adopters of special dogs with life-long medical support and other incentives, the Hope Fund aids in the adoption of harder-to-place dogs. These include older dogs, dogs with chronic but manageable health problems, and dogs with disabilities.
Donate to the Hope Fund for Dogs
Little Bitty's Cat Rehabilitation Fund
Dottie Etzler, a good friend of the League from western Maryland, decided she really wanted to do something to help cats. Cats are her passion, just as they are for many League friends. So, Dottie launched this fund with a $25,000 matching grant in 2011. This fund, named after Dottie's now-deceased feral cat friend Little Bitty, will underwrite the League's many expenses for both medical and behavioral rehabilitation for cats.
Fans of the League know that many of the animals we assist need a great deal of medical attention and some are helped into their forever homes through therapeutic sessions with our certified behavior specialists, who can improve a potential companion's chances for adoption. If cats have a behavior problem, it is most likely to be fear of people. Our behavioral rehab staff frequently sees this in cats from hoarding cases or ones born on the streets and left to fend for themselves. They use a special protocol employing clicker training to encourage these cats to seek out attention, patiently training them first to touch a wand, then a hand, then to accept stroking, and finally to approach people on their own initiative.
Knowing that, for animals, physical health and mental health are closely linked, the department ensures that those in the care of the League get mental, as well as physical, exercise. We term it shelter enrichment. By giving cats "busy boxes" to explore, the long hours of waiting for a home can be made much more enjoyable. On top of this, the department arranges play time both with other animals and with people to help keep them busy and content. We also operate a free behavior helpline as part of our Project Rescue by telephone, email, and in-person appointments to address specific concerns about pets' behavior, such as cats who won't use the litter box or who are scratching the furniture.
Donate to the Little Bitty's Cat Rehabilitation Fund
Buster's Fund
This special fund was set up in response to a donor who wanted to support kittens, including newborns, being treated at our Medical Center. As anyone familiar with sheltering knows, litters of kittens and pregnant cats are brought into shelters routinely. Many of these poor orphans require in-depth care, often for upper respiratory infections, failure to thrive, and congenital anomalies. Some even need to be bottle-fed for weeks before they are ready for adoption. This fund supports the care of kittens in the League's shelter and Medical Center as well as some from other shelters.

4.1/5 rDev +7.6%
Appearance: Pours a slighty hazy pale copper with an off-white head that holds like crazy and leaves lots of sticky lace. Exceptional head retention for a cask-conditioned beer.
Smell: The aroma is quite fragrant, with a good hop presence that comes from the use of some of the four C's. A bit of malt hides underneath, barely noticable.
Taste: The flavor is firmly bitter, with a wide range of hop flavors: citrus, pine, and flowers. There's a good solid foundation of malt, but it stays in the background, coming in a distant second to the hop flavor and bitterness. Finishes smooth and bitter.
Mouthfeel: Creamy and smooth, with the mouthfeel that can only come from a cask.
Drinkability: Good overall drinkability. This is a good IPA, with a lot of hop character.

Had this on cask last friday night and was very impressed.
Poured amber going copper with a humungous 2.5" fluffy head. Loads of bubbles cling to the glass and rise from the bottom. Head retention and lacing were stellar
Smell: Huge citrusy hops accompanied with a hefty fruity biscuity aroma. Faint hint of piney hops in the background a feast for the nose
Taste: Light floral hops soon give way to fruitniess and spicier and oily hops. Finish is dry and sweet/hoppy
MF: Rich, creamy and smooth, perfect carbonation
Very easy to drink, despite its obvious ABV. In my opinion, the best beer in their stable, but there's others almost as tasty. I will have to go back again soon

This beer came via a Realbeer.com beer of the month club. It was brewed by Riverside Brewing in California. It's a good friend of mine (AKSmokedPorter) who actually received the beer. I was fortunate enough that he shared a Phantom IPA with me, but unfortunate enough that it was only one. This is a very good beer. While I'm a little leerie of being so positive about it based on only one experience with one bottle, I really enjoyed this one. It's pretty hoppy and spicy but has more of a balanced flavor than say a Stone IPA or AV Hop Ottin IPA. Very drinkable. Nice hoppy aroma. For whatever reason, my pour with this beer resulted in a glassful of head. Definitley one I'd like to have again, but unfortunately, I don't think that's too promising. AKSmokedPorter checked with the beer club and they had no more available. Maybe they were saving it all for themselves.

Tasting notes from visit to Colorado Springs 4/25/2008:
Look: Pale-amber color, poor heading
Smell: grapefruit with faint malt in background
Taste: Hops!!!...H20!!...Alcohol...and umm...Malt?--pretty much in that order. Bitter finish per style.
Feel: lighter than typical mouthfeel
Drink: very easy to drink, perhaps too easy for an IPA
General Impression: not worth writing home about

Drawn from a cask, there was a beautiful cascade effect as the beer settled into the pint glass. The head is about 2 fingers and extremely creamy due to the cask effect. Not much of an aroma to speak of. Mildly hoppy and floral, but the impression is the thick head blocks the smell. The taste is great! Mild bitterness with a wonderful background floral hops presence. Very tasty and easy to drink. It is extremely creamy with very little carbonation. This was a slight turnoff, as a little bit more carbonation would have made this beer excellent. As it is, it is very good and very drinkable. Nothing beats fresh, local beer!

On-tap into Pint glass.
First beer in Colorado Springs in a long time. I'm anticipating this place. I've heard good things.
Appearance=Excellent head retention!!! Nice lacing! Too dark in the place to really get a good look at the color of the body. 2 finger head
Smell= Weak nose. Hops are present but muted.
Taste= interesting flavors. Malt presence, minimal hops. The beer "speeds up," the flavor on the back end. NOT a hop forward IPA.
Mouthfeel= Finishes clean, minimal carbonation. Slightly creamy from the head. Heh.
Drinkability= Average IPA. Nothing bad about it. Decent nose, decent flavors, good mouthfeel. Almost like a cream stout IPA with the extreme head retention.

This review is for the bottled version made for one of the Michael Jackson Beer Clubs...contract brewed at Riverside Brewing Co. in Riverside CA.
A classic American style IPA brewed with the 3 C's: Columbus, Centennial, and Cascade. Dry Hopped with the latter two.
Dark Copper, Low head retention. Awesome Hoppy, Citrusy, Grapefruity Aroma and Taste. Med Bodied and creamy, and smooth! Nice Balance but definitely leans bitter.
One of my favorite IPA's next to Celebration Ale...

This beer was slightly cloudy and a nice orange/light amber color. No head, due to the low carbonation.
Smells like an English IPA, and some wonderfully warm hops in the nose, very sweet floral and nearly fruity smells. A little malt underneath.
Wow, the low carbonation and cellar temp serving temp make the hops stand way out. Amazing, I don't think I have ever tasted more flavorful hops paired with an almost total lack of bitterness. I love the flavor of hops, but don't usually like the bracing bitterness that comes with them, and this beer seems like the perfect balance to me. The hops are clean, perfumy, floral, and slightly citrus. They kind of taste more on the English side then the American (especially not Northwest hops). Some nice malts for a base but never take center stage.
The mouthfeel is smooth and rich, with medium body. I have always been a fan of lower carbonation and warmer serving temps, so this beer nails this category spot on.
Overall drinkability is simply outstanding. I could quaff this till I was unconscious, but due to having to drive, I drank only one with the utmost pleasure.
Conclusion: This beer is simply the best IPA I have ever tried, and I have had and enjoyed many. My wife has never like a hoppy beer, but when she tried this she loved it. The low bitterness, high hop flavor, low carbonation and warmer serving temp just pushed this over the top.

Draft at the Phantom Canyon Brewpub. Golden-orange in color with an off-white head and good lacing. Aroma was a very pronounced grapefruit/citrus, which carried over to the flavor. Hps were clearly evident, which led to a slightly bitter, yet smooth finish. This was a tasty and enjoyable IPA.

The Phantom Canyon IPA is one of the better Phantom beers. It could use a bit more hop. The beer had no downside, but lacked the punch that would move it into the great category. The aroma was pretty good and there were no odd tastes associated with this beer. This beer is worth trying.

The beer pours a dark gold color with a thin offwhite head. The aroma is good. It has a solid malt scent that boasts of pale and carapils malts along with a floral hop aroma. The taste is also good. It has an intensely bitter hop flavor from start to finish. It also has a good malt base that balances nicely. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a medium bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a good IPA. These guys love hoppy beers. It's malty and bitter; a fine session beer.

Had on cask at the brewpub in Colorado Springs. Served somewhat warmer than I was used to, the bartender said that was because of the cask conditioning. I had never had a cask beer before I was not aware of that. Poured an amber color with a nice white head, good carbonation and lacing down the sides of the glass. Smells very piney and fruity, nice aroma. Taste is very hoppy but not too bitter, pretty well balanced I would say. Toward the last 1/2 of the glass a strong alcohol flavor was more prevalent. Mouthfeel is good with nice hop and carbonation bite but not too overbearing. Overall this is a very good IPA but I don't think I could do more than 1 or 2 of these as it was a little strong tasting.

Pulled from the cask into a shaker, Phantom's IPA is dark cloudy bronze with a tight, creamy tan head that leaves perfect lace rings all the way down the glass.
Smell is just a boat load of NW hops, strong and piny, centennial or one of other the C's...
Taste is good, with a more subdued hop flavor then the nose, still plenty of resin, a nice clean malt backbone...the bitter, linger finish reveals a slight tang to it that I've noticed in many of Colorado Spring's local brews, perhaps something in the water?
MF is smooth, luscious and super creamy...ahh, cask!
Highly drinkable, at least the 12 oz. I washed down some fantastic mnt. trout with, although I think I'd start to tire of over a session, in spite of how smooth this is.

3.1/5 rDev -18.6%
A: Orange, almost ciderlike, with a beautiful creamy head.
S: Citrus and light lemon, with a very strong doughiness (biscuit scents) as well
T: Bitterness is earthy with little citrus on the palate. The body comes across as slightly thin, especiallyon the back end where a maltier body might have rounded the beer out better. The overall flavor profile might be enhanced by a fruitier, sweetness as well.
M: The cask-conditioning imparts a smooth (duh) texture. Overall, it's rather straightforward--a strong hop presence in the middle of the palate that leaves a long, bitter aftertaste.
D: Good but not great. Again, the imbalance takes away from some of the quaffability, as this just tastes less refreshing than many (better) IPAs.

Served on cask at the brewery. Pours an oaky brown with a creamy tan head. Nice lacing. Nose has sweet malts and floral hops. More along the line of an English IPA. Taste is also on the malty side but has a nice balance of fruity hops. Great beer to enjoy from a cask.

Poured a lightish copper, a flat head and the nose is a little floral and slightly hoppy. Taste was rather malt forward and hop light, slight bitterness on the finish with some floral and citrus notes way back there. Mouthfeel was medium to light bodied and not much going on with it as far as hops, bittnerness or taste.

Hand pump. Darkened orange in color, with a full lasting foam. Vibrant hop aroma (smelling of old pellets, mainly), with hints of cedar, wood, pine and fruit. Not any detectable aromatic malt. Flavor is somewhat rich in its hop composition, loaded with woody, cedary hops, with hints of grapefruit and citrus. Not much balance here, and most definately in the firkin a bit long.

A - 1/4" solid, creamy off-white head (nitro-like collar). Great retention, full lace. The IPA is a hazy orange/amber.
S - Orange and tangerine. Subtle pine needles. Crystal malt?
T - Light citrus. Resiny, piney bitterness long into the finish. Lacking much of anything else.
M - Between medium and full-bodied. Low, low carbonation.
D - Just average in its drinkability. I wonder if this keg was fresh or not. More of an English IPA than anything.

Pours to a chill-hazed medium amber, forming a nice white head with excellent retention and lacing despite being served in a tiny 4 oz sampler glass. Pungent green hop nose obscurs anything else. Large amounts of isopropyl throughout and much too bitter. The bitterness is so pungent I'm barely able to drink this, and this is coming from a hophead. Medium bodied, herbal and sharp mouthfeel. Long aftertaste and bone dry finish.
Short rant. I'm getting so sick and tired of brewers dumping as much hops into their beer as they can and then calling it an IPA. IPA's should be drinkable and this barely is. This beer is a telling example of this process. Avoid it.

For my first Colorado brew pub brew I apparently picked a good one. The glass is filled with a dark tan brew that's cloudy and has a thick tan head that cascaded for a while after landing at my table. The aroma is more malty with some pine notes. The taste has more hop presence than the malt giving a nice citrus taste with pine and atouch of floral, perhaps. There seems to be an added weight from the casking that made this a bit heavier than a typical IPA but in a good sence. I happily ordered another one when finished.

I live in Colorado Springs and have often had occasion to sample Phantom Canyon brews. Their IPA is exceptional. It has a lovely cloudy soft copper color, a creamy head with lots of foam and lacing. The bouquet is lovely: lots of fruity hops with some underlying malt. The initial flavor has a pleasant bite of bitter hops, as you would expect from an IPA: and then the palate is caressed by grapefruit, floral and pine. The middle is nicely malted, the mouthfeel under-carbonated, almost syrupy in texture. The finish is wonderfully crisp and bitter. Very drinkable, in limited quantities: it is a heavy beer. You won't soon forget the unique experience!

Reid Pulls the Plug on Modest Energy Bill
by Charles Lemos, Tue Aug 03, 2010 at 07:33:46 PM EDT
Having already set aside comprehensive energy and climate legislation, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid today pulled the plug on the more modest energy bill that was to address the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and set a few new energy standards.
"It's a sad day when you can't find a handful of Republicans to support a bill," Reid told reporters.
From The Hill:
Reid had planned to debate and vote on competing Democratic and Republican spill plans Wednesday but he said "it's clear Republicans were going to be determined to stand in the way of everything."
Reid promised that, "in the interim, we will continue to work for Republican votes."
"We are going to continue to listen to people during the August recess," Reid said, "and we are going to continue fighting for energy legislation before we leave this Congress."
He said it will be easier to do so after the summer break "because we've had some very good conversations."
"I think before the end of the year, the answer is absolutely yes" that energy legislation will be passed.
The GOP spin:
Robert Dillon, spokesman for Senate Energy and Natural Resources ranking member Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), pointed out that Reid did not even have all the members of the Democratic caucus standing behind his effort - and that was the reason he had to pull it.
"The reason Sen. Reid pulled the bill is because his own members were set to vote against it and for the Republican bill," Dillon noted in an email. "We believe our bill is better and less costly. Instead of playing the blame game, Democratic leaders should allow an open and transparent process where both sides can contribute ideas."
The reality:
The decision to abandon the legislation comes amid concerns among some Democrats that the energy provisions — which focus on home efficiency retrofits and natural gas-powered and electric vehicles — were too modest.
"I think there was substantial concern on the Democratic side that the energy bill did not do enough," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).
And so it goes. Senator Reid will attempt to steer passage of an energy bill in some form after the Congress returns from its August recess.

Simply and easily hang your TV like a piece of art
Hanging your TV on the wall no longer needs to be an arduous task that is time consuming and risky. The new Samsung WMN250M makes installing your TV - easy, safe and quick. With a maximum loading weight of 200kg (440lb), it can easily support Samsung's largest TVs. And to ensure minimal hassles, the supplied user manual lists all TV models and their unique installation instructions to put an end to concerns about using the wrong screws and other mishaps. Now, hanging your TV on the wall is as enjoyable as placing a piece of art. Spend time enjoying your TV rather than putting it up.
Smarter design –
a perfect match for
Samsung TVs
To cater to a wide variety of screen sizes and attachments, Samsung has developed a smarter wall mount design. For different series and sizes of TVs, you can set the WMN250M at either 20mm or 40mm from the wall according to the user manual, so there is always enough room for cables to access the back of the TV. Now, connecting an extra cable is never a problem, even if it is slightly bigger and wider than usual.
Beautify your TV with chic, minimal design
Keep your TV wall mount out of sight with Samsung's chic and stylish WMN250M. With a modern design that is comfortably kept out of sight behind the TV, your viewing experience is left unhampered by the usually bulky and cumbersome wall mount. Its lightweight construction and compact size makes the WMN250M both easy to install and carry. This chic approach to design also ensures that the interior design is not compromized with unsightly bars and support structures.
Perfect placement,
total convenience
Setting your TV that it is perfectly balanced and even is now a lot easier with Samsung's built-in leveller. With the help of specifically designed slots, the WMN250M allows for the television to be corrected even if the mount is screwed to the wall slightly off center. No unscrewing or re-setting; just set and then adjust. The built-in leveller will quickly become an essential part of any wall mount-it saves time, effort and couldn't be more convenient.

We will be performing several originals including some we've never played live as well as some covers from our upcoming EP "Monstroversy"™…
The cover is $10 bucks at the door or $5 if you rsvp on our facebook events pages. But I'll tell ya it's a bargain at full price!

Goals and the Daily 5
It was great having a post show with the chat group today and I wanted to post some of the links and content we discussed.
Lately I have been working on what I call the GYST system with my Good friend Brooks Crouse, He and I have been working on some projects and in our discussions about making them happen we decided that both of us could help each other in non-related goal areas by assisting each other on goals that required the help of a second person and through simple classic friendly motivation. And it's been working.. so when I shared some of the techniques and content that we've used… the chat lit up and we had a great talk..
so to keep that going and make sure you guys know what resources I was referencing I thought I'd post them here
The Project tools I discussed where
Trello – A project and task outline and management website/ipad/iphone app. works like a row of index cards with a title on the front and a myriad of info gathering tools on the back.
On the straight up motivational tip here are some of the vids that Brooks and I have been sending back and forth.
Les Brown
Anthony Robbins
Napolean Hill – Think and Grow Rich
Earl Nightingale
Physical health and well being -
I am a huge fan of the work of Marilu Henner as well as a big fan of her as a human being. I consider her a friend and she is truly gifted at explaining healthful living..
Her website is marilu.com and she has several books and programs that you can use. It's not simply about weight loss but living healthfully.
On the Metaphysical side I mentioned…
Ask Teal – Teal calls herself a spiritual catalyst
You Are Creators – a youtube channel that seems to collect every piece of Law of Attraction or mystical self video/audio on the web some of it is charmingly ancient
For the record, if you are the kind of person who doubts this stuff, just know that ALL the super-rich people in the US, if not the world, believe or use this stuff in one form or another.
Enjoy… lemme know your thoughts

Traumatic Brain Injury Video
To refer a patient with a brain injury to our inpatient program, please call our admissions department at 303-789-8344 to start the process. Referrals can be made by patients, families, physicians, case managers, claims adjusters, hospital discharge planners, social workers, and others.
Simultaneous physician to physician referral to our CNS Medical Group at 303-789-8220 is required. Medical records will often be required, and the Admissions FAX number is 720-599-3990. Most of Craig inpatient referrals occur very soon following injury, and early referral is recommended.
In many referral situations there can be challenging issues regarding a family's ability to travel to do a tour, distance versus quality concerns, patient transportation costs for the transfer from acute care to rehabilitation, family and child care needs, and others. We want families to know that because we admit patients from almost every state in the U.S. each year, we understand and work with families on these challenges virtually every day. We invite you to call us so we can work with you and your particular circumstances and needs. With our non-profit status and our Craig Hospital Foundation, we have resources and flexibility to meet peoples' needs in areas that many other rehabilitation hospitals do not.
To refer a new outpatient with traumatic brain injury to Craig, please call Margie Shockley at 303-789-8474.

We have made every effort to make the Biblesoft Authoring System as easy to use (or "non-technical") as possible. Therefore, we tried to make your pre-compiled Word document appear as closely as possible to what it will look like when viewed in PC Study Bible. The way we accomplished this was through Word text styles. Various styles are applied to indicate different types of embedded items, to reflect formatting, and so forth � and the actual Biblesoft Authoring System tags are hidden! Hence, when you tag an item and then begin typing immediately after it, the text that you are typing is picking up the very last text style used�which happens to be hidden!
Two things. First, the safest thing to do is to enter your raw content, then go back as a separate step and tag it. Second, you can click on the Show/Hide button on the Word toolbar (it looks like a paragraph symbol) to "peek behind the curtain," so to speak, and see how the Biblesoft Authoring System works. However, be extremely careful when viewing your source document in this fashion, since the Biblesoft Authoring System has no means of recovering if you inadvertently alter any of the tags!
