MARTIN PEDROZA, BETTER BET, WINNER: "I watched the tape of his last race when (Alberto) Delgado rode him and I could see he got forced out really wide on the first turn. He was out toward the middle of the racetrack and you could see that he didn't run that bad. Today, I wanted to get him into the race and we were able to save ground pretty good into the first turn. When I asked him, he gave me everything he had."
JULIEN LEPAROUX, TAMARANDO, 7-5 FAVORITE, THIRD: "This was just not his day today. The track is favoring speed and I just couldn't catch the horse on the front end."
MIKE HARRINGTON, BETTER BET, WINNER: "I knew Martin (Pedroza) fits this horse to a tee. He needed a Pedroza. I'm not sure it was that important to get in front today because the horse is tactical. In fact, he loves to lay off horses, but his last race he had no shot. It just set up good for him today. He's a better horse than the way he's been running. Like all horse races, things just had to turn out right. Fortunately, in a $200,000 race, things turned out right."
NOTES: The winning owner/trainer is Mike Harrington of Westchester, CA.

On tap at Churchkey.
Pours a cloud dark orange color with a well carbonated off white head; nice retention and light lacing. Pleasant spicy, grass, and floral hop aroma. Medium full body with light carbonation and a soft cask like texture. Strong rye body with light orange and citrus bitterness. Finish is unfortunately dominated by butter and tea turning this from a pleasant experience to something undrinkable. I enjoyed the start of this beer and am would love to try this again somewhere other than Churchkey (how many times can I say that?).

From 10/04/11 notes. Had on tap at Churchkey in DC, served in a pint glass. Wasn't sure whether to put this under 3 Stars or Pratt Street Ale House (who they collaborated with on this, and where I believe it was brewed), but since this beer existed and a PSAH entry did not, I'll put it here. From the CK menu:
"Brewed with malted rye, centennial and whole leaf cascade hops: dry hopped w/ cascade hops."
a - Pours a hazy dark orange color with two inches of off white head and moderate carbonation evident.
s - Smells of bitter citrus hops, floral hops, rye, and some spices. Pretty nice.
t - Taste is very bitter and a ton of rye. Also some spices, citrus hops again. Not bad but very bitter...not liking it as much as the nose.
m - Medium body and low to moderate carbonation. Bitterness in the mouth but almost seemed like it was on cask.
o - Overall a decent beer from a new brewery in the area. I love Pratt Street Ale House so it's cool to see a collaboration already, just wish the taste was a little less bitter. Promising start, looking forward to trying their other offerings.

Poured on tap at Churchkey. This is a collaboration brew with Oliver Ales brewery. Listed as a Rye Pale Ale.
A dull amber cloudy brown orange body. A caramel light head sits on top with very good retention, light creamy/foamy consistency and tight bubbles. Real good sticking and creamy looking lacing.
Nose is spicy complimenting the rye notes with a big herbal tea sensation from the hops. Chewy spicy malt eventually dominates.
Taste brings a good herbal tea hop presence, but a VERY malty and cinnamon sense. Extremely soft bodied bordering on cask like feel. Brown spices emerge with a long lingering hop finish and creamy backbone.
Overall a real solid job guys. Nice work.

Development of a Total Cancer Marker through Single Molecule Assessment of DNA Integrity
Johns Hopkins University, 2008 - $20,000
Despite a number of advances in cancer detection technologies, the development of clinically validated, blood-based cancer biomarkers remains an unmet challenge for many common cancers. Better markers would lead to earlier detection, saving lives and cutting down on hospital costs. A new method, the DNA Integrity Assay (DIA) has the potential to accurately discriminate cancerous cells from normal cells for a wide range of cancers, but its clinical acceptance has been limited due to the complexity of the test, sampling errors, and the high cost of the materials, instruments and highly trained personnel needed to run it.
This E-Team is developing a new DIA testing method called smDIA (single molecule assessment of DNA integrity), which has the potential to eliminate errors and reduce the costs associated with the traditional DIA approach. In this method, a patient's DNA sample (blood, stool, etc.) is transported by a microfluidic device through a sheet of laser beams (Cylindrical Illumination Confocal Spectroscopy), enabling direct analysis of the patient's DNA integrity in a rapid, uniform manner.

Saskatchewan (Canada)
4.15/5 rDev -1.2%
A - very murky orange with lots of suspended particles, nice off-white cap, no doubt this baby is unfiltered, though could be a turnoff to newbies, leaves some sticky lace.
S - fresh, juicy nose, orange/mango/grapefruit, just a real nice blast
T - same grapfruit/tropical notes, but also a lot of lemon which is typical of citra, caramel sweetness upfront is quickly washed away by the lemon, bitterness is firm and drying, lingering juicy hops in the aftertaste
M - light body really helps with the drinkability, med carbonation is smooth, dry finish with no astringency, alcohol is well hidden
D - I'm still not sold on citra, but this is certainly the best I've tasted of a citra heavy beer
The aroma on this beer absolutely rocks (as good as any west coast version), malt character is subdued, and the bitterness is firm without being rough or astringent. However, I really don't care for that lemon character that citra lends - I think this hop is best suited for dry hopping as part of a blend. As it warms, the lemon character diminishes, and becomes more grapefruit. My burps were really tasty too!
Thanks to NASH for the bottle!

Big thanks to NASH for bottling this and to cjbmcdon for sending it my way. Shared with my wife with our supper: chicken quesadillas, refried beans, mexican rice and avocado salad with blue cheese dressing.
Poured from a label-less swingtop bottle (500ml.?) that is almost identical to the generic bottle image provided by BA.
Appearance: Deep and hazy orange body with a thick foamy head and lots of flecks of sediment floating around.
Smell: Tangerine & clementines hit me first. Not much hops come through as it's more of a fresh citrus aroma. Very nice smell.
Taste: Juicy & fresh. Pulpy a little bit with some tangerine mixed with a bit of sweet orange. Lots of hops & bitterness but it's not overdone at all. Love the taste.
Mouthfeel: Very well balanced with a thick body though i did find it a tad fleeting. Carbonation is average which is perfect. Very pleasing.
Drinkability: Lots of flavor and hoppiness to keep me satisfied. Not a chore at all to drink. Could have a few of these in the fridge.
Overall: A solid DIPA that has packs a lot of flavor. Love it very much and would seek out this beer again.

Another great IIPA from Canada's master of the style, Greg Nash. In interest of full and complete disclosure, yes he did send me the bottle. However, this in no way influenced my rating. At tonight's IPA/IIPA tasting i heard the remark that NASH is my favorite Canadian brewer from one in our company. Have to say from what Ive had the pleasure of ecperiencing in this coutnry that i would have to agree!
Needless to say this was a good looking amber hued brew. Not quite clear as it was obviously unfiltered. Nice finger worth of head that wanted to stick around. Imagine there were some lacings, but this review is from memory and after a few well... ;-)
Wonderful citrus aroma, nice grapefruit notes, and decent, clean bready pale malt profile with some caramel accents. Is this from the boil? Anyways it had a solid, appealing IIPA aroma.
Taste was pretty much bang on for the style. Favored aroma over bittlerness which suits me just fine. Nice clean malt profile that was haoppy playing second fiddle to a wonderfully aromatic hop blast. Yum.
Excellent hope forward IIPA with great drinkability. Almost medium bodied. Suppose its somewhere between an IPA and IIPA, but regardless its a great hop forward brew with tonnes of citrus character that goes down oh so nice.... Another excellent hoppy brew from NASH. Not surprised, this was the first brew of the night at tonight's tasting, and the highlight of the night as far as i was concerned. Highly recommended!

1 liter swingtop courtesy of my man NASH!
Pours a hazy/kind of chunky looking reddish orange, lots of floaties, very thick white head forms and settles down to a thick ring around the glass, drops a shit ton of lacing, can tell this will be epic.
Smell is fantastic, huge grapefruit and pine, just a massive resiny hoppiness, big floral, fruit juice, light honey and caramel maltiness, a touch of biscuit, malty but with a very intense hoppy nose.
Taste is just as good, huge grapefruit and pine up front, floral, resiny, fruit juice, caramel, biscuit, just a shit ton of citrus going on in this but with just enough malt to back it up, perfect bitterness.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with low to medium carbonation. Super drinkable stuff and a great hop character. Thanks Greg!

Had poured on-tap at McMenamins Imbrie Roadhouse in Hillsboro, OR. Reviewed from notes.
A- Finger white head, blonde-orange color. Minimal carbonation. Sticky thin lacing.
S- Wheat and grapefruit, citrusy and hoppy.
T- Hoppy, citrusy and light flavor. Floral hops.
M- Medium carbonation, light body.
O- Ok beer, might get again if I saw this retired beer anywhere.

Another one generously shared by Viggo. Served in a Unibroue tulip.
A - Pours with a finger-plus of yellow-tinged foam. Good retention here, before it settles to a thin cap and leaves behind splotchy lacing. Coppery amber hazed body.
S - Juicy citrus, with tons of sugared grapefruit and orange, and a slightly burnt sugar malt backbone. The nose actually reminds me a little of the canned Abrasive Ale.
T - The taste is just as citrus-heavy, if not more so. Really tastes like I'm drinking ripe grapefruit juice, with lots of residual bitterness. Not as malt-forward as the nose, which is a surprise.
M - Nice soft carbonation, with a dry finish, and a touch of oily hop resin. Body is lighter than I expected, although it makes sense given the borderline ABV - more of an IPA-plus here.
D - This was really quite excellent. I actually think I liked it more than Hop Mess Monster. Greg Nash at Hart & Thistle really gets what American IPAs and DIPAs are all about - hopefully his influence will spread to the hop wastelands of Ontario.

RAPIDES PARISH, La. (KALB News Channel 5) Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office arrests two suspects in burglary investigations.
According to the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office, on Nov. 1, 2013, deputies responded to a burglary in
the Kelley Land subdivision area, and the victim alleged someone stole some
large flat screen televisions. The following day, the victim made contact
with Bruce Conner, 18, of Alexandria, who admitted to taking the televisions
and returned one of them. The victim
called RPSO, and a deputy responded to the scene and arrested Conner. RPSO said Conner was charged with one count of Simple Burglary and transported to the
Rapides Parish Detention Center. He was later released on a $3500.00 bond.
RPSO said on Nov. 10, 2013, deputies responded another burglary in the
Kelley Land subdivision area where a flat screen television, along with some
other items, had allegedly been taken from the residence. Both cases were
turned over to Detectives for further investigation. RPSO said Detectives identified
Conner and Dartravious Darrnell Green, 20, of Alexandria, as suspects.
During the investigation, detectives obtained warrants for Green for both
burglaries and an additional warrant on Conner for the second burglary.
RPSO said both
suspects were located and arrested by Detectives and Patrol Deputies. Conner was charged with one count Burglary of a Dwelling and
two counts Criminal Conspiracy. Green was charged with two counts Burglary of a
Dwelling and two counts of Criminal Conspiracy. Both were booked into the
Rapides Parish Detention Center where they remain.

Rondo's Record
The Celtics game notes recently had an interesting note on point guard Rajon Rondo.
It stated: "Rondo recorded 20 assists against the Raptors on Nov. 17 and it marked the sixth time in his career that he has surpassed the 20 assist mark. .. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Rondo has more games with 20 or more assists than all of the other players in Celtics history combined: Bob Cousy (2), Sherman Douglas (2) and Nate Archibald (1)."
Ravens linebacker talks, apologizes
Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo did not mince words when blasting the Patriots on twitter during the Patriots 41-28 win over Houston Sunday.
Ayanbadjo sent out several tweets ripping the team's hurry up offense and its history.
"New England does some suspect stuff on offense. Can't really respect it. Comparable to a cheap shot b4 a fight," he tweeted.
"You know the same organization that did spygate and cut a guy the day b4 the Super Bowl," he later tweeted.
There were a few more tweets ripping into the Patriots but Ayanbadejo apologized on Monday.
"I made selfish comments on twitter last night that reflected poorly upon myself, my teammates, and the organization. For that I apologize," he wrote.
Predictably the Patriots declined to comment on anything Ayanbadejo said.
Hockey Fever
Apparently the NHL lockout will not deter Boston fans from seeing their beloved Bruins.
The team's Black and Gold intersquad scrimmage tonight at the TD Garden has sold out, as the Bruins made tickets to the contest free.
Every player on the Bruins' training camp roster and several players from the Providence Bruins, the team's minor league affiliate, will participate in the scrimmage.

São Paulo, Brazil -- With the sluggish U.S. economic recovery and nagging debt, American taxpayers probably aren't in the mood to be helping others around the world — even their nearest neighbors.
But as Vice President Joe Biden embarks on a three-nation Latin American tour Sunday, beginning in Colombia, foreign relations observers say the Obama administration will have to come up with more than just talk if the U.S. hopes to recapture some of its shine in a hemisphere that's increasingly being courted by other global powers.
"It's going to require specific actions. If nothing happens after that, people will talk about opportunities missed," said Eric Farnsworth, vice president of the Council of the Americas and Americas Society. "There is a sense that if we don't step up our game in the Western Hemisphere, others will take advantage."
In the three stops on Biden's tour — Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago and Brazil — leaders are expected to raise issues over trade, security, economic growth and energy.
The follow-up for discussions in all three nations are important, said Farnsworth, because Biden's visit roughly coincides with a Latin American tour by the People's Republic of China President Xi Jinping. Xi is scheduled to pay a three-day state visit to Trinidad and Tobago just days after Biden meets Tuesday with members of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) in the energy-rich nation.
Last week, senior administration officials downplayed suggestions that the Chinese leader's visit and the possible announcement of new investments by the Asian powerhouse might undercut perceptions about the United States' commitment to Latin America and the Caribbean.
"We don't really see ourselves as being in competition with any particular actor in the Americas," said a senior administration official. "We're very pleased with the type of trade that we engage in throughout the Americas, a very diversified… type of trade. It's a trade that emphasizes the value-added products from many countries throughout the region."
The trip gets underway in earnest on Monday when Biden is scheduled to meet with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos in Bogota. The vice president will "highlight the remarkable progress on security" in Colombia, which has been plagued by drug trafficking and guerrilla warfare, and Santos' efforts to bring an end to conflict in the Americas, a senior administration official said.
But Farnsworth warned that Colombians are increasingly concerned about the reduction in U.S. assistance to their country.
After leaving Colombia, Biden will travel to Trinidad where Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has invited leaders of the 15-member Caricom bloc.
Anthony Bryan, a senior fellow at the Institute of International Relations at the University of the West Indies, said he expects Persad-Bissessar to discuss pressures for the U.S. to begin exporting natural gas. Trinidad was once a major supplier of natural gas to the U.S.
During the meeting with Caricom leaders, the U.S. also is expected to sign a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement. The administration has asked for the Dominican Republic to be a part of the Tuesday meeting in Trinidad, and the agreement is aimed at galvanizing trade and investment activities within the Caribbean and between the region and the U.S., its biggest trading partner.
On Wednesday Biden is expected to visit an installation of Brazil's national oil company, Petrobras, in Rio de Janeiro. Brazil is trying to develop deepwater oil and gas fields, known as the "pre-salt" finds that potentially have huge reserves but are located in very deep water.
"The Brazilian government is trying to signal globally that they are very interested in securing investment in the whole process, to find the oil, extract it and then trade it," said Matias Spektor, a professor of international relations at Rio de Janeiro's Fundação Getúlio Vargas.
Spektor noted that Brazil has neither the funding nor the capacity to explore the pre-salt fields alone and is in search of partners.
International observers in Brazil also see the Biden visit as paving the way for a state visit, possibly in October, by Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff. Though Rousseff has visited Washington before, it would be the first official state visit by a Brazilian head of state to the United States in almost two decades, they note.
From a geo-political viewpoint, some believe that Brazil is the most important stop on Biden's tour. He is scheduled to spend three days in the South American nation, discussing not just bilateral matters but multilateral concerns as well.
"Brazil has found its voice internationally," Farnsworth said. "We have to have a better understanding of how we can work together."
This will be Biden's fourth visit to Latin America since becoming vice president, and it builds on President Obama's recent visit to Mexico and Costa Rica. Administration officials say it's the "latest demonstration of the United States' commitment to reinforcing our partnerships in the Americas."
That partnership, however, hasn't always been smooth. Caribbean leaders often complain about being neglected and taken for granted by the United States. And last month after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry angered a number of people by referring to Latin America as "our backyard," Bolivia's President Evo Morales expelled USAID, the U.S. development agency, from his nation in retaliation.
Still, the visit offers huge opportunities for leaders to discuss issues of mutual interest.
Anton Edmunds, a Caribbean business consultant, said absent a meeting with Obama himself, Biden is perhaps best positioned to plead the region's case.
"If there is anybody who can carry some water for the Caribbean, it may well be the vice president," Edmunds said, noting Biden's long years as a U.S. senator.
McClatchy White House Correspondent Lesley Clark contributed to this report from Washington, D.C. Charles reported from Miami and Barnes from São Paulo.

That YouTube video showing a ninja-looking character slicing fruit – and Twinkies – is all real. And it was directed by a man with roots in Spokane.
Scott Winn, whose family still lives on Spokane's north side, directed and created "Fruit Ninja in real Life to Dubstep" with Jay Davis. The video, based on the game app, Fruit Ninja, shows actor-comedian Christian Busath slicing up fruit – and a Twinkie – in slow motion. It garnered more than 1 million views in its first 36 hours.

The video also features a flying cat. And no, the cat was not sliced, and no animals were harmed in the production of the video.
Winn, in an interview for ESPN.com said the video is "100 percent real", and that he didn't expect Busath to slice it with such accuracy.

Newport to give youth a chance this season
7:00am Friday 27th July 2012 in Latest Rugby By Chris Kirwan
NEWPORT have pledged to give youth its chance after forming a partnership with the new Dragons junior academy based in Bettws.
The Black and Ambers have joined forced with Newport High School, who have set up a junior academy based on the successful model at Coleg Gwent's Cross Keys campus.
The group of 16 to 18-year-olds will combine their rugby work with academy boss Dai Flanagan, the former Blues and Ospreys fly-half who has returned to Pontypridd for the coming Premiership campaign, with their efforts in the classroom.
Flanagan will be helped by two part-time coaches that are being funded by the Friends of Newport Rugby trust.
Black and Ambers openside Rhys Jenkins will be skills coach while Gareth Smith will be responsible for conditioning.
Newport intend to occasionally sprinkle its matchday squad with young prospects to give them experience of semi-professional rugby.
"The club recognises and supports the way that the Premiership is heading towards a younger age profile with the aim to develop as many players as possible," said head coach Sven Cronk.
"By synchronising the players junior academy training programme with the fixture list we look forward to exposing some of these young players to both Premiership and British and Irish fixtures this season."
It will take some time for the Bettws base to catch up with Cross Keys, who won the Welsh College League last season after beating Coleg Sir Gar.
But the Dragons are hopeful that the efforts of Flanagan, Jenkins and Smith will help the Black and Ambers and therefore the region.
Dragons performance programme manager James Chapron said: "We are committed to improving our Junior Academy programme year-on-year and for the service to replicate the staffing levels and programme delivery of the top tier Dragons Senior Academy.
"While Ryan Harris and Byron Hayward will continue their excellent work with the Elite Academy players on a daily basis based at Rodney Parade, these new appointments will strengthen the structure and underpin that tier."

These days, you ain't cool unless your boat's got a hardtop. Indeed, among the new boats featured editorially in Sport Fishing during the past 12 months, more than 70 percent boasted hardtops, while around 13 percent sported canvas tops with permanent frames (as opposed to Bimini tops with fold-down frames). The remaining boats? Well, many were flats skiffs and bay boats without tops.
Boatbuilders and marine fabricators continually streamline hardtop designs and integrate new features, making these structures much more than places to retreat from the sun. But does that mean you should automatically opt for a hardtop on your fishing boat, be it new or an older craft? Not by a long shot. Canvas-top structures offer advantages of their own.
Cost Comparison
Whether you're outfitting a center-console, dual‑console, walkaround cuddy, express or convertible, you'll find a hardtop costs more than a comparable canvas-top structure. Most hardtops are fiberglass, with inner cores and gelcoat finishes on both sides. They often include complexities such as built-in electronics boxes, stereo speakers, LED dome lights and spreader lights. Some even have sunroofs and molded-in running lights.
|Robust hardtops allow boatbuilders such as SeaVee to integrate features like second stations (top) and overhead LED lights (above). (COURTESY SEAVEE BOATS)
Creating a top from canvas, on the other hand, is usually less expensive, even when undertaken by an expert canvas shop using top-quality Stamoid or Sunbrella marine fabrics. Still, most boat buyers gravitate to hardtops.
"Ninety-nine percent of our customers order hardtops," says Ariel Pared of SeaVee Boats (seaveeboats.com), which offers both styles. "Customers like that you can almost seamlessly integrate features such as dome lights and stereo speakers into a hardtop," Pared reveals.
"Many customers like the Key West-style tops with the narrower width in front to allow for vertical rod storage along the center-console." For its 320 series — four models with LOAs measuring 32 feet, 5 inches — SeaVee lists a custom canvas T-top option for $7,100. The custom hardtop option lists for $10,800 — 52 percent more than fabric.
Hardtops cost more in the aftermarket as well, whether you are commissioning a customized top or considering a prefabricated universal top from a company such as Atlantic Towers or Fishmaster. To give you an idea, Atlantic sells its canvas WalkAround "Tee" Top — a prefab top for most cabin boats up to 25 feet — for $1,999, while the hardtop version retails for $2,499.
Weight Factor
|Canvas tops such as this Key West-style T-top are significantly lighter than hardtops, and that helps improve fuel economy and reduce roll in big seas on boats less than 25 feet in length. (COURTESY SEAVEE BOATS)
Both types of tops usually have lightweight welded and anodized or powder-coated aluminum frames. Yet a canvas top saves weight versus a comparably sized top that's constructed from fiberglass or other material such as a high-density polymer. A square yard of marine canvas weighs about a pound or two, while a square yard of fiberglass laminate tips the scales at 11 pounds or more.
This weight savings becomes a critical advantage on boats less than 25 feet in length or models with relatively narrow beams. Canvas tops help keep these boats from becoming top-heavy and rolling excessively. The same applies to convertibles and express models with towers. A canvas top over the second-station minimizes the mass aloft.
Reducing weight also helps improve fuel efficiency to extend fishing range, as well as on-road mileage while trailering a boat.
Hardtops last longer than canvas tops. Even the best canvas eventually succumbs to UV, which leads to rotting and tearing, especially along the stitches and grommets. Canvas might endure for a decade or more, but a hardtop usually will last the lifetime of the boat. However, the canvas top itself is relatively inexpensive; you can usually replace the fabric two or three times for the extra cost of a hardtop.
In either case, maintenance helps ensure maximum longevity. Clean the canvas tops and spray them periodically with a water-repellent formula such as 303 Fabric Guard. Keep a coat of wax on fiberglass tops. And meticulously wash aluminum frames to get rid of salt residue and to prevent corrosion.

I love this brush. I use it every single day to set my makeup. I've had it for over a year and have had zero shedding. The only thing I don't like is the handle. It sinks down to the bottom of my makeup brush holder and I have to move other brushes around to get to it. But other than that, it's perfect.
I'm going to make this review short and sweet.
It gives a very sheer finish if you're using it with foundation. As with some duo fiber brushes, there can be streaks that you need to blend with something else (hands, beauty blender) if you're using a liquid or cream foundation. It is comfortable to hold in the hand, and esthetically pleasing with the oblong shape. I did experience some shedding, but nothing after the first couple of washes. The white bristles did stain, even though I clean it pretty regularly. If you don't clean it semi-often, the white bristles cling together and will give you extremely patchy results. After having this for over a year, my favorite uses for it are: applying sheer blush and highlighting that can be built up. I do use it almost everyday, but I don't think I'll purchase another if this one tears up. For the price, I do recommend giving it a try!
Nice big brush for even finishing. ecotools is my favorite makeup brush brand.
I absolutely love this brush for applying blush and bronzer. It gives a sheer wash and doesn't make it look overdone at all on my face. I've owned this particular brush for about 2 years and it hasn't had any hairs come out and has kept its shape the whole time. Definitely worth the money! Buy it!

Love love love this brush for applying loose powder. I don't wear much makeup anymore, but my sunscreen leaves me a little greasy since it's on the heavy side. I use this brush everyday with my rice powder and I get amazing results. Never heavy looking, cakey, just a beautiful finish. It is so soft, easy to clean, and it's the quickest brush to dry after washing it.
I love how soft this kabuki brush is. I use this with my bronzer and its perfect as it picks up the right amount of bronzer not too much and when I dust it on my face it doesnt scratch like some hard bristle brushes.

I just got this and I have to chime in. This brush is truly fantastic. I wanted it for applying a very pigmented blush very sheerly and it does the trick beautifully--very sheer and airbrushed application. I don't have the MAC 187, but the Sonia Kashuk one, which I do have, comes nowhere near the quality of this.

I absolutely love this brush. I bought it at Wal Greens for about 7$. I was initially going to use it for powder or foundation, but I actually use it as a blending brush. I use it to buff out my contouring/bronzer/blush. It is AMAZING! It's not super dense but it still thick, perfect for flawlessly buffing out harsh lines and making it look natural but doesn't complete kill the color. I also love how it doesn't affect my foundation underneath or make anything look cakey. Basically, every person should have this brush because I've never come across a better blending tool
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I finally found a use after purchasing this kabuki for 3 months. I now use it everyday for adding a very thin and fine layer of thebalm's mary lou-manizer all over my face for a soft golden sheen. It's perfect for that.

Every ecotools brush in my possession is M.A.C quality, if not better. This brush: NO EXCEPTION. The M.A.C dupe is the 187 duo fibre stippling brush. I think the ecotools brush bristles are a bit more "spread apart" if that makes sense. I like that. The bristles are thee softest I have ever felt on any stippling brush. It gives me that "airbrushed" finish. If ecotools ever discontinues this brush I WILL buy at least 4 back ups. LOL I recommend this to ANYONE.

Pours a hazy orange-gold into a pint glass, with a nice, white 1/2 finger head. Some short lived lacing throughout. The aroma of this beer is very IPA-like -- oranges and grapefruit, tangy citrus hops. The flavour is bizarrely short-lived; you taste it only for a moment, and then it disappears with very little aftertaste. Hoppy, but not aggressive. As it warms, the aftertaste lengthens and is surprisingly sweet, like candi sugar. Excellent mouthfeel, but creamy, not oily.

Pours a light golden with a slight orange hue to it with a nice creamy-like two finger head that takes its time coming down leaving a frothy top.The hoppiest aroma of any cream ale I have had thats for sure, Pacific NW hop profile of pine and citrus although not overly strong prevail.Flavors are quite dry some light toastiness and citrus with just a slightly noticable alcohol burn in the finish but slight.This is a damn good cream ale here and very easy to drink at 7.6 thats for sure,I would buy again for sure.

Appearance Of course, the head was just monstrous. The heavenly, delicate pillows settled into an inch high topping to the liquid after lacing the heck out of my Ruination glass. The body was a bright and hazy orange.
Smell Lagunitas packed this one with some sirious hops. The piney and floral notes have a nice malt base to back them up.
Taste This reminds me of Rogue Honey Cream Ale without the honey. The hops are complex, solid, sharp, and of course creamy. The malt base cannot be ignored, offering a nice compliment to this rather complex ale.
Mouthfeel Medium-bodied and exceptionally smooth and, yes again, creamy.
Drinkability This was more like a creamy pale ale. Very good.

Beer donated to the cause by my good friend Brian - cheers!
A: Poured from a 12fl.oz. bottle. Dark straw color, moving toward amber. Hazy, but clear toward the bottom of the glass. Fine pillars of carbonation visible. Some sediment and even a sprig of what looked like pine in the head. Head was a half a finger, light, fluffy and slightly creamy yellow. A smaller cap stayed throughout the drink and it left some nice spotty lacing - even got finer as the drink progressed.
S: The bottle talks about the brew being made to look forward to summer. I can dig that. It has a light optimistic smell. Gentle but apparent grassy, slightly fruity hops reminiscent of apricot and peach. There is some creamy sweetness. Some caramel malt. Some molasses. Maybe some pine which would make sense if that's what the sprig was! Plenty going on but generally quite understated.
T: Initially a very clean rice type crispness. It had a sweet malt backbone but it was all very subtle. Finish has a pleasant kick of hops which leads into a bitter hoppy and creamy sour aftertaste.
M: Quite smooth and buttery. Medium bodied. Head gave a creaminess on the lips. Bit of bite on the pallet on finish. I expected more carbonation - felt quite low.
D: Quite refreshing and very drinkable. I am not a master of the style, so I can't comment on that. I can say that I expected to experience more creaminess and maltiness and not so much of the hoppiness although the overall takeaway is an enjoyable ale that I would be happy to drink again - maybe right at the beginning of summer.

Stubby 12oz bottle pours into my glass a hazy dark orange hue with a nice creamy half inch head on top that leaves some spotty lacing on the way down. Aromas of citrusy, somewhat floral hops hit me right off the bat. A nice sweet, lightly toasty maltiness in the background with hints of vanilla and a bit of fruitiness.
First sip brings a smooth lightly toasted, creamy maltiness with plenty of perfumy, floral hops in there as well. Citrus notes weave in and out. A touch of vanilla with a light grainy aspect. Goes down with a touch of bitterness on the finish as well as a little alcohol presence. Overall, a tasty and unique cream ale.
Mouthfeel is smooth and medium bodied with just a slight alcohol on the finish. Good, steady carbonation throughout. Overall, a tasty cream ale that packs a punch and that's amped up by plenty of hops. I'd have this one again when I'm in the mood for a cream ale! I'm happy that Lagunitas is now in full swing in Illinois.

12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy dark gold with a big fluffy white head that retains well and laces the glass a little.
The aroma is sweet bready malts with a little melon, grassy hops and alcohol.
The flavor is sweet creamy malts with some big grassy bitterness and a touch of alcohol in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, tastes like a pumped up (hop and alcohol) cream ale. It's the best cream ale I've had and is enjoyable, but not great.

There's gold in them thar...umm pint glasses. Deep gold/orange hues, beautiful looking brew in the glass. Some head, long lasting lacing.
Strong citrus and hop aroma, very pleasant and inviting. The smell is not misleading of the taste, citrus and hops. Unique and nice tasting beer.
Creamy and smooth mouthfeel and easily drinkable. Highly recommended,

Appearance: poured a slightly hazed and deep orange with a tinge of peach color, medium sized offwhite head.
Smell: Juicy tangerine citrus and lightly herbal hop aromas as well as a rich dose of biscuity and pale malt, very nice!
Taste: The hops touch my tastebuds first with mildly oily and bitter citrus flavors, the malt does provide some brief balance with phantom biscuit and honey , not as much malt as the nose ,and perhaps the name, had suggested to me, then the citrus flavors of tangeringe and orange zest move in once more and blend with dry sourdough grain for a lasting and pleasant finish.
Mouthfeel: fairly creamy and smooth.
Drinkability: A tasty brew for sure, nice medium level of complexity and strenghth, and a bit of a west coast touch in the hops department for a cream ale. While i was expecting more malt, i was pleasantly surprised by the citrusy flavors and longer finish.
Pairing: paired very nicely with some Baby Brie on Ritz crakers.

Pours hazy amber with a big head. Aroma is caramel, brown sugar, and hops. Lots of malt in the taste, accompanied by the sugary sweetness. Alcohol and hops in the back that linger. Overall, it tastes like a thinner version of their Hairy Eyeball. Good, not great.

12oz bottle no date. Pours a clear copper with a fluffy off-white head.
It smells of dry malt with flares of hops. The flavor offers semi-sweet malt with a herby hop character and a slight twinge of citrus. There is also a creamy nuttiness and a bit of a metallic nip beneath it all.
It's medium-bodied, more dry than creamy. It's drinkable and display some decent complexity. I will have no problem consuming the sixer I bought over the next week, yet it didn't exactly rock my socks off.

An imperial cream ale? Could there be such a thing? This would be quite a nice, mellow beer if it weren't for the alcohol. Other reviewers didn't seem to mind it much, but it really stuck out to me. Perhaps I am overly sensitive to these things. A light, crystal clear orange gold with lots of puffy head and lacing. Endearing aroma of malts with a light sprinkle of hoppiness. Also some perfectly marvelous musty yeast characteristics, but they are laid asunder by invisible alcohol meanies. A lightly malty beer, with understated caramel sweetness and tasty bread crust. Hops are very quiet in the background but do their job adequately. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, quite nice. The finish is where the alcohol comes into play, and to me it's unmistakeable. It provides a somewhat shattering spiciness, followed instantly by numbness which would be cool if this weren't such a delicate beer. It undermines the great mouthfeel by lulling your palate to sleep. Not a failure by any means, but it seems to me to just veer off in the wrong direction. If Lagunitas is sirius (ho!) about making a big beer, they need to amplify the bright fruit flavors here, perhaps making it more evocative of oranges or honey, or grapefruity hops.

Hazy noney colored with a thick orangey-beige head that lingers along. Very low aroma of sweetish malt.
Flavors of rich malt, honey, toffee and cinnamon. Very subtle hop flavors. Some floral and ripe fruit notes. Slight warming of ABV in the finish.
Thick and chewy mouthfeel, very satisfying. Tasty beer, very drinkable.

Clear bright orange appearance, sub amber. Frothy 1/4 inch head, slightly yellow. Laces in delicate and distinct dots. Bare honey aroma, a little yeasty, but noticeable pine hoppiness. Lower carbonation helps the lighter mouthfeel to seem fuller than it is. Starts sweet but with little malt distinction, a dry bitterness sets in and the finish has a decided bite to it, a little sharp and lingering without addiing much interest. A touch of alcoholic heat. A hard-to-rate beer, some complexity and a distinct close to the profile, but neither is stellar.

I have been into most of the Lagunitas beers I've sampled however this Imperial Cream ale isn't doing it for me...I don't the think the dog star is shining bright on this one. Appears a honey golden hue with a thin off white cream head leaves scattered lacing all around my pint. Aroma contains upfront maltiness with a hoppy sweet syrupy notes really nothing notable here. Taste is harsh grainy offness does no justice to this cream ale hop bitterness doesn't mesh well although there are at least some promising hop flavor in of all things a cream ale...some pleasant floral citrus hop tones. Mouthfeel is thin bodied high in carbonation just rough with each sip. Drinkability for me I'm not revisiting this brew just was a bad drinking experience flavors weren't meshing at all.

(Served in a dimple mug)
A- This beer has a crystal clear light amber body with a thick creamy off-white head that pushes above the glass and last and last. There is a good carbonation of tiny bubbles that glide up through the beer.
S- The big mellow smell of green hops has a perfumed sweetness to them with a nice spicy hop note in the finish.
T- The flavor of big green hops has a spice to it and a slight creamy taste to a soft slightly sweet pale malt flavor. There is a light but not sweet watermelon note to the hops and after the finish the bitterness grows and grows.
M- This beer has a medium-full mouthfeel with a creamy texture and a faint fizz in the finish.
D- This beer has a nice bold but mellow green hops flavor. The sweetness is not distinctly malt flavors but does support the hops very nicely. There are some yeast qualities that remind me of Belgian Tripels that I was surprised it was a cream ale.

Sirius is a hazy orange color with a pitiful display of head. Just a small film of off white bubbles that eventually form a thin collar.
Smell is caramel apples spiked with vodka. A boozy scent that doesn't linger but every now and then attacks your nasal cavities. Clean simple scents that lean more towards the malt side then anything fruity or bitter. It's really kind of nice.
Taste is equally as simple. Corn and malts that move towards the caramel side of things mixed with some light orange/watermelon liquor. Clean, simple, just what a cream ale should be.
No sign of a hop profile therefore not much in the way of bitterness, you do however get a little bite from some firm carbonation. The beer still stays in a creamy, slick range which feels nice and makes it's easy to drink. Not a bad brew but a little high ABV for the style. I am all for some big beers but in this case I think it distracts from the tastiness.

Notes are from the night before last...
This brew pours into the glass a slightly hazed golden-orange color with a soft yellowish-tan head at about 2 fingers. The head is slow to fade, leaving behind some respectable lacing.
The nose is interesting. It's almost a pale ale base, with bright, leafy and citrus hops presence underneath a sweet note of candied sugars and bright undertones of light fruits. Malts are below the other aromas but certainly present, and a light whiff of alcohol comes and goes.
This is a pretty unique one to me, and the more I drink it the more I think this is what I was thinking a cream ale should be. The concept seems like it would make for a delicious beer, but I've never been blown away by one before. This is the closest I've come thus far in that respect. There's a nice underlying complexity to this beer, well blended and making for a nice concert of flavor. A candied sugar sweetness that isn't overbearing works with a soft malts presence and a variety of fruits to balance a nice raw, leafy, citrus tart hops flavor. Let this one sit on the tongue for awhile. I didn't get a full appreciation until I did.
This is certainly a smooth beer with a very nice creaminess to it, but I feel it would benefit from slightly more carbonation. Body is medium.
The ABV just creeps to the higher end, but this beer is quite drinkable and easy to appreciate.

In college, when I first tried a cream ale - the glorious Genny Cream, I expected a thick almost stout like liquid. You know - like cream. Genny Cream Ale couldn't be further from that. Well this is somewhat between that idea and Genny Cream.
The head is intense: upside down cumulo-nimbus clouds and the beer itself, copper in color. You get a soft citrus hop smell followed by cereal grain. Crisp and light despite the 7.6% which came as a bit of a surprise to me as I check the label.

This beer poured to a crisp and almost fruity looking color with a pretty big head. It shrank but never went away. It looks great in a glass. The smell and taste is creamy but with a touch of bitterness. It's a nice effect.
I look forward to downing many of these come the thick of the spring season. This is good stuff.

Pours a beautifully clear golden orange with a solid 2 finger head that melts slowly and remains sticky.
Aroma is slightly citrusy orange with slightly sweet malts.
Tastes of sweet malts typical for an 'Imperial' of any style but then a sudden infusion of citrus hops...lots and lots of citrus hops. Somewhere in the middle is a piney hop presence.
Normally, I do like like cream ales at all and avoided getting this one because of it, but leave it to Lagunitas to put a twist on a style that changes it completely.
Really nice.

This pours a clear amber orange with a medium tan head. A nice looking beer,but nothing really great. The smell is like an IPA, citrus hops with a "bisquity" undertone. It's not bad,but not like a cream ale. The taste is like a creamy IPA, alot of hops, citrus, grapefruit, with a nice smooth aftertaste. For a high alcohol beer there is almost no presence of it here. The m/f is light ,but there is some metalic aftertaste here. This is an OK beer, I'm not sure if it's a cream ale, but I don't think I'd pick it up again.

12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass yielded a half-inch off-white head that lingered for a while. Left some lacing on the glass.
Body was slightly hazy, with a bright orange-copper hue. Not a lot of carbonation apparent.
Nose was a bit hoppy, with some citrus and a slight floral twinge.
Mouthfeel was good, with more "fizz" in the mouth than expected from the appearance.
Had definite bitterness in the taste but wasn't overly hoppy, with less overt alcohol than I expected. Goes down easily with nothing disagreeable in the aftertaste.
Overall, a good brew, but nothing truly exceptional. I'd willingly have another - but wouldn't go out of my way to find one. To be fair, it's not a style I seek out, so I don't have a lot to judge against. It's the first Lagunitas offering I've tried, so I can't really compare it to their other efforts, either.

Hunt for man who grabbed necklace from Darwen jeweller
9:30am Friday 24th January 2014 in News By Dan Clough, Reporter
A NECKLACE worth more than £1,000 was snatched from a market stall worker.
Police are trying to trace a man captured on CCTV who took the men's gold chain from Gold And Times in Darwen Market.
The man approached the store, in the centre of the market, just before noon and asked if he could look at the necklace.
While the item, with a second-hand value of £1,300, was being shown to him he snatched it and ran away.
Staff chased after him but he got away and ran down Redearth Road.
Business owner Jonathan Whitehead said it was the first incident of its nature since he opened the business in 1995.
He said: "We were selling it for £1,300 but if you were to buy it new it would be more than £2,000.
"It shook Katie, the shop assistant who was working at the time.
"We have built up a solid customer base over the last 18 years and it is really upsetting when something like this happens."
Police have appealed for anyone with information about the incident to call 101, quoting log number LC-2014-0122-0465.

A small crowd of supporters for both sides gathered outside the community center to await the election results. After the totals were announced, the candidates shook hands and Todd congratulated and wished Welch the best.
In the original vote, Todd received 65 votes and Welch received 112 of the 240 total votes.
"It's obvious people wanted a change," Welch said. "It's also obvious you don't have to mudsling or run somebody else down to win."
Welch also thanked those who encouraged, supported and voted for him in the regular election and in the runoff.
A third candidate, Jackie Anderson, received 64 votes in the original election. She and her husband were also on hand Tuesday night to support the candidates.
The city's council seats were already settled prior to the runoff. Marion Constant will be the only current council member returning to her seat, while new council members Christopher Harvey, Crystal Glover and Roger Kimbrell were unopposed for their seats. Sarah Wood defeated Myra Heron for council seat 5.
The current council will meet once more before the new mayor and council take over in November. The council had one empty seat, vacated by Jack Smith, who resigned after moving from the city. Council members Steve Windham and Patt Blackwell did not seek re-election.
Burton tops Yow in Sumiton runoff
Floyd Burton won Sumiton's City Council Place 3. He received 229 votes to challenger Joan Yow's 190 votes.

"Is a Stand-Alone Blog a Better Choice for Me?"
"Is a Stand-Alone Blog a Better Choice for Me?"
By ed2go Instructor Linda Aksomitis.
One of my students in Introduction to Internet Writing Markets asked this question recently. Here's how I responded:
Blogging is a big topic, isn't it? The main difference between a hosted blog and a stand-alone blog is whether you control what you do completely or whether someone else does . . . although the control may be in varying degrees depending on whether the service is free or at a cost.
Let's compare hosted and stand-alone blogs to renting or buying a house.
Renting a house is like having a hosted blog (from Blogger, WordPress, or another blog service). When you rent, someone else takes care of the technology and sets the rules about what you can do.
Having a stand-alone blog is like buying a house. You own it and have to fix it when it breaks, although if you have a good webhost you may be able to get help from technical support. The only restrictions you have are what's legal or illegal in the country you live in.
With a hosted blog, you just sign up, decide what you want your blog to look like, and start posting. With a stand-alone blog, you buy a domain name and space from a webhost. Then you install the blogging platform, such as WordPress, on your site. It's more complicated, but your reward is that you're in charge.Read More

The Broncos are in command of the underwhelming AFC West after knocking off the Chargers in Week 11.
O-line play not helping Chargers' cause
The Chargers have not come close to hitting preseason expectations on the offensive side of the football, and the O-line play is a big reason.
Scifres, hampered last season by San Diego's brutal specials teams breakdowns, agreed Wednesday to a five-year contract extension that will keep him with the Chargers through 2016. The deal is worth just under $19 million in new money, with just more than $10 million guaranteed.||||||| Scifres has consistently been one of the NFL's best punters and was a Pro Bowl alternate from 2004-09. While Scifres' gross average was a team-record 46.7 yards last year, he was a victim of the Chargers' poor special teams play. He had four punts blocked and another deflected, helping to drop his net average to 30.8 yards.
Scifres has re-signed with the San Diego Chargers, agreeing to a four-year contract extension. The punter, who was a fifth-round pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, is averaging a career-best 45.2 yards on 37 punts this season. He was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2004.|||||||

Back during the Ken Whisenhunt era, (which probably seems as far back as the last time the franchise had won a championship, 1947) the coaching staff and front office was annually looking for a nose tackle to secure the front defensive line.
Gabe Watson had bad knees.
Alan Branch had problems finding a light switch.
And Bryan Robinson had bad knees and couldn't reach the light switch without climbing onto his dentures.
Just like Matt Leinart and "Beanie" Wells, Dan Williams "fell" to the team with the 26th pick in the 2010 first round.
A former defensive tackle at Tennessee, he was moved to a more natural position of noseguard by Lane Kiffin in 2009. He responded with 2.5 sacks, 9 tackles for loss and 9 quarterback pressures. He became a stereotypical NT candidate and his draft prospects skyrocketed.
He seemed the missing mountain piece the Cards needed but how has it panned out?
What We Knew Then
CBSsports loved Williams' strength and swim techniques when rushing.
NFL.com sided with his "nasty" attitude (?) and ability to draw double teams from the offense.
FFToolbox was of the opinion that his experience and being an inside clogger provides opportunities for other players.
What We Know Now
Almost every college draft profile came with two deterrent examples of what could possibly "weigh" Williams down -- poundage control and work ethic.
He's started 40 out of a possible 48 NFL games missing 6 in 2011 with a broken arm, averaging about 25 tackles a year.
He's clearly a first down run stopper, but was/ is he worth a first round pick? Plenty of competition with David Carter, Ricky Lumpkin and Padric Scott at a position where it might be hard to keep two players? Can he keep the weight off and still stay motivated?
The only consolation if not, may be the player directly drafted in the slot in front of him: Tim Tebow.

Need Help? Contact the Autism Society about Our Neighbors Program!
Barb Yavorcik, past Executive Director of the Autism Society of Ohio, said, "When a child receives of diagnosis of autism, families need help and resources. While the Autism Society of Ohio has great resources to share, we recognize that families who are already living with autism are the best resource. The one-to-one format of this program provides a nice compliment to autism support groups and another option for families."
The Autism Society of Ohio has recruited Neighbor Volunteers from around the Greater Columbus area, coordinated by Autism Society of Ohio Volunteer Laurie Sparks-Dennison. Families in need can call the Autism Society of Ohio at 614-487-4726 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com and Sparks-Dennison will match them with a Neighbor Volunteer who can help.
Sparks-Dennison says "Without a navigator, parents who have a child on the autism spectrum can feel confused, overwhelmed and disconnected. What makes the Neighbor to Neighbor Program such a vital resource for the Central Ohio autism community is that parents have the opportunity to connect with someone who has walked in their shoes and been down their path. This kind of support can mean all of the difference in a families' quality of life throughout their autism journey."
Yavorcik concludes, "The program is not just for the newly diagnosed. There are many stages in the life of an individual with autism that families find they might need support with – school issues, transition to high school, behaviors, employment, community support – and we have Neighbor Volunteers with experience across the autism spectrum and lifespan that can help and let them know that they are not alone."
For more information or to get connected to an Autism Society Neighbor, call the Autism Society of Ohio at 614-487-4726 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Maggody, Arkansas (pop. 755) is perceived of as a two-bit hick town, filled with one-bit hicks. But Mrs. Jim Bob Buchanan seeks to change that perception with her latest scheme—a charity golf tournament. This presents a bit of a challenge, since no one in Maggody plays golf and there is no course. But when the prize for the first hole-in-one is announced—a top of the line bass boat—nearly everyone in town develops a new-found interest in the sport. The town goes golf crazy, trying to learn the sport in time to win the bass boat, with limited success and maximum domestic disorder. Sheriff Arly Hanks, who has better things to worry about, just wishes it would all go away.
When a small-town golf instructor wins the bass boat on the first day of the tournament, it looks like all the excitement is over. But the next morning, when he's found dead, sitting in the parking lot in the front seat of the bass boat, the prize is once again up for grabs and nearly everyone in town is a murder suspect.
Still water may run deep, but the rapids will leave you bruised and battered in Maggody, Arkansas (pop. 755). That is, if the locals don't get you first. Some of them are devious, some are stupid, and some are merely annoying. My mother falls into that last category.

NORCROSS -- Vietnamese culture will be on display at a fall festival sponsored by the The Holy Martyrs of Vietnam Catholic Church.
The second annual event, scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, includes nightly concerts by top Vietnamese artists, a harvest moon lantern show, tradition dress contest and special performances from the church's youth. Last year's festival drew 20,000 people, a press release said.
"You will have a chance to sample traditional delicacies such as fall festival rolls, seven-color sweet pudding, autumn harvest cake, a variety of mouth-watering Asian kabobs and too many other delicious items to list," an e-mail said.
Admission to the festival is free, and a complimentary shuttle service will be available.
The church will be selling raffle tickets for $20 a piece for prizes including a 2010 Honda Accord EX W.4L, $5,000 in cash, a laptop, a desktop computer, camcorder, Apple iPad, digital camera and more. Proceeds will benefit the church and its ministries.
Tickets can be purchased now, and the church is offering for a limited time, one free ticket for every five tickets purchased. For raffle ticket information, call Son Nguyen at 678-654-2530.

OAKLAND -- With baseball being the American pastime, it's only natural that the sport should be paired with other examples of classic Americana. Root beer floats certainly fit that description, and the A's Annual Mug Root Beer Float Day on Wednesday night brought the two together for a good cause.
For 13 years now, Oakland has held the popular charity event, benefitting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund. Two hours before Wednesday's game, fans went to the Eastside Club at the Coliseum to buy MUG Root Beer and Orange Crush floats being served by current and former A's players and local media personalities.
Among the A's that scooped ice cream and poured in root beer and orange soda were outfielder Jonny Gomes, shortstop Cliff Pennington, reliever Jerry Blevins and manager Bob Melvin. Blue Moon Odom, Terry Steinbach and David Justice were several of the former players that chipped in to help as well.
Melvin has a personal connection to the cause, as his daughter, Alexi, was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes as a teenager.
All told, the night raised more than $24,000, all of which will go to the JDRF. Besides float sales, money was also raised via tips given in exchange for scoopers' autographs and pictures and a silent auction of sports memorabilia.
Oakland has raised more than $353,000 for the charity since 2003 through MUG Root Beer Float Day.
