I was in Madison for a friends' wedding, and this was recommended to me.. I had no idea what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised. Half shop, half "pub". I think it's neat that you could buy a bottle of wine from the sho, and walk over to the bar side and drink it. The beer selection is not easily rivaled, and I happily enjoyed a Monk's Cafe, or three. The bartendress was very nice, and the service was great. They had an acoustic duo pleaying that provided a good atmosphere for my friends and I. I highly recommend this hidden from Huntsville treasure.

I stopped by the Stem and Stein on my way into Huntsville - it's not very far off of I-565. I had seen their web site and figured I might get a good beer to take into town.
They are part beer/wine store and part bar. I didn't get any beer at the bar but I saw they had some nice unique beer on tap. They had some local/regional draft beer, including Olde Town Hefeweizen, which I've tried in bottles and was impressed.
I picked up a 4-pack of Ommegang Abbey Ale, which I'd never had before -- great stuff! The selection of other craft beers seemed very good and they included tags with descriptions and ratings of some of the beers.
I didn't ask for any help from the staff, but did have a customer come over and talk about some stouts they had and make a recommendation.
Overall I thought this was a worthwhile stop and would like to visit again.

Visited today to build some 6-packs so I found out they have a small room dedicated to their singles. This room had a very good selection to choose from with plenty of local/regional beers plus a good amount of imports. Also my wife asked to taste a couple of wines to help her choose one and was pleased with the service by the staff.

My wife and I stopped in at this place while out shopping in Madison, AL. It is a small inconspicuous cafe type bar semi hidden in strip mall. The establishment is equally divided between a bistro style eating area and a retail beer and wine store. There are seven tables and a small L-shaped bar in the bistro area. The retail side has quite a large selection of wines and bottled craft beers which are sure to please most people. They maintain 11 beers on tap with many local brews. I had the Yellowhammer Alt Bier from Huntsville, AL and it was delicious. This definitely is not your usual burger and beer place. Check out the Stem & Stein if you like a small bistro type atmosphere with good food and good beer.

A: Located in a strip mall off of County Line Rd between Walked in and the service greeted 565 and Hwy 72. When we walked we were greeted with a hello but that was about it. We sat and chatted with a few locals about local beer happenings before we darted.
Q: The quality is pretty good. However, in the mix a sixer room you better check the freshness dates or you might get some pretty old, funky stuff.
S: Very nice and prompt. I had a few questions and he had answers.
S: I had two beers on premises and sixer to go. I could have bought more considering I saw cans of Monkeynaught and some Bell's Two Hearted

Cecil Celester Cooper (born December 20, 1949), nicknamed "Coop," is a former first baseman in Major League Baseball and the former manager of the Houston Astros.[1] From 1971 through 1987, Cooper played for the Boston Red Sox (1971–76) and Milwaukee Brewers (1977–87). He batted and threw left-handed, and attended Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, Texas.
Cecil Cooper was born on December 20, 1949, in Brenham, Texas, a city with a population of 13,000 and located 70 miles (110 km) northwest of Houston. Raised in nearby Independence, Cooper was the youngest of 13 children, seven boys and six girls. Cooper's mother Ocie died when he was just 10. His ball-playing father, Roy, worked with a nearby Department of Public Works. A 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) left-hander, Cecil was taught baseball by his brothers John, Sylvester, and Jessie. John and Sylvester later played with the barnstorming Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro Leagues.* John as a pitcher while Sylvester was a catcher who according to Cecil once caught Satchel Paige According to a 1980 Sports Illustrated story, father Roy also played in the Negro Leagues.
Cooper followed his brothers, playing ball for three years at the all-black Pickard High School, transferring his senior year to the integrated Brenham High School. At Pickard High, he won two state championships under coach Henry Rogers.
Playing career[edit]
In a 17-season career, Cooper posted a .298 batting average with 241 home runs and 1125 runs batted in in 1896 games. He was No. 17 with the Boston Red Sox, and No. 15 with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Intending to go to college after his graduation, Cecil was spotted by Boston Red Sox scout Dave Philly and was drafted in the sixth round of the 1968 amateur draft by the Red Sox. He opted to take courses at Blinn Junior College and Prairie View A&M during the off-season. Taken in the Rule 5 draft of minor league players (whereby the team selecting the player pays $50,000 and must keep the player on their major league roster for the entire upcoming season or offer the player back to his previous team for half price) by the St. Louis Cardinals in November 1970. St. Louis returned Cooper to the Red Sox on April 5, 1971. He spent most of five full seasons in the minor leagues (in Jamestown, Greenville, Danville, Winston-Salem, Louisville, and Pawtucket), hitting .327 with 45 home runs and 304 RBIs.
Cooper made his major league debut with the Red Sox on September 8, 1971, pinch-hitting for Roger Moret and grounding to second against Yankee pitcher Jack Aker. He got his first hit three days later, a pinch single off the Tigers' Joe Coleman. He hit .310 in 42 at-bats that month. Having hit .343 for Double-A Pawtucket that season, it was thought that he had a shot at the starting job the next season.
Just prior to the start of the 1972 season, the Red Sox acquired Danny Cater from the Yankees and sent Cooper to Triple-A Louisville. Another fine campaign in the minors produced a .315 average, thanks to a league-leading 162 hits, Cooper returned to Boston in September, but garnered just four hits in 17 trips during the tight pennant race.
Despite the failure of Cater, Cooper again failed to stick with the parent club in 1973, as the team elected to move Carl Yastrzemski back to first base the fill the hole. Cecil was sent to Pawtucket, now the Triple-A affiliate, where he hit .293 with 15 home runs. This time he was recalled before the rosters expanded, first playing on August 24 and playing nearly full-time the rest of the season. In 30 games and 108 at-bats, Cooper hit .238 with his first three major league home runs. His first round tripper was struck on September 7 at Fenway Park, off the Tigers' Bob Miller.
In 1974, Cooper was the team's opening day first baseman, hitting third in the lineup. New manager Darrell Johnson used a lot of lineups, trying to divide playing time at first base, left field, and designated hitter amongst Cooper, Yastrzemski, Cater, Tommy Harper, and Bernie Carbo. Cooper ended up playing 74 games at first and 41 more at designated hitter, getting most of the starts when facing right-handed pitchers. He hit .275 in 414 at-bats.
Cooper did not have a good defensive reputation early in his career, which is why he spent a lot of time as a designated hitter. For 1975, the Red Sox had two new rookie outfielders (Jim Rice and Fred Lynn), plus the returning Tony Conigliaro, who initially won the DH job. The team had an awful lot of people to beat out and get a chance to play. At the end of May, Cooper was the odd man out, getting just six hits in 24 at-bats. He persevered, and by late June he was playing against all right-handed pitchers. He ended up hitting .311 with 14 home runs in 305 at-bats.
One of the team's hottest hitters in August and September, Cecil had a scary moment on September 7. The Red Sox were playing the second game of a doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers, when he was hit in the face by future teammate Bill Travers. Cecil had to be carried off on a stretcher and was bleeding from his nose and mouth. The incident hampered his performance the rest of the season. With Jim Rice's injury requiring Carl Yastrzemski to play left field, Cooper had first base to himself for most of the post-season. He was 4-for-11 in the playoffs but just 1-for-19 in the World Series.
Appearing in 123 games the following season, again splitting time between first base and designated hitter, Cooper hit a solid .282 with 15 homers and 78 RBIs. After the 1976 season, manager Don Zimmer told Cooper told that he would become Boston's regular starting first baseman. This was not to be the case, as on December 6, 1976, Cooper was sent to the Milwaukee Brewers for two former Red Sox first baseman George Scott and outfielder Bernie Carbo.
The trade was not particularly popular in either Boston or Milwaukee. In fact, Brewers owner Bud Selig was told by other AL East clubs that if you "keep making trades like that you will be in last place forever." In 1976, the Brewers finished dead last in their division with a record of 66–95. The extremely popular Scott had first played in a Red Sox uniform from 1966 to 1971 and had posted several good seasons for the Brewers. Alas, neither Scott nor Carbo ever again had the kind of success they had achieved in earlier seasons. Cecil Cooper would become a legend in Milwaukee.
Cooper was a clutch contact hitter who could hit for both average and power. He kept putting up such solidly consistent numbers year after year that it was easy to overlook his achievements. In his first year in Milwaukee he hit .300, in his second year he hit .312, and in 1979 Cooper hit .308. Also in 1979, Cecil had a league-leading 44 doubles. Former Milwaukee player-coach Sal Bando once said of him, "Cecil Cooper can beat you with a home run or a flare to left or a bunt. And he can field his position. You have guys who can hit home runs and guys who can hit singles. But not many can do both. Cecil can."
Playing for a smaller market team in the Midwest allowed Cooper to thrive, and in 1980 he did just that. He hit better than .300 in every month of the season finishing with a remarkable .352 average, 25 home runs, 219 hits, and an American League-leading 122 RBIs. His season was largely overlooked because Royals third baseman by George Brett flirted with a .400 batting average, settling in at .390. The unassuming Cooper said, "With Brett hitting close to .400 all year, I didn't expect to get much publicity, and I didn't have any trouble living with that."
Coop was also part of a record game in 1980. On April 12, in an 18–1 Brewer rout of the Red Sox, he and infielder/DH Don Money connected for two grand slams in the same inning. This marked only the fourth time in major league history this feat has ever been accomplished. (There have been two since, most recently in 1999, when Fernando Tatis of the St. Cardinals hit two grand slams himself in one inning). In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Brewers franchise was moving up in the standings finishing with 93 wins in 1978 and 95 wins in 1979. In 1981, in a strike-shortened split season, the New York Yankees won the first half in the AL East while the Milwaukee Brewers finished first in the second half. This set the stage for a best-of-five game divisional playoff between the two clubs. Although the Yankees won the series in five games, it was the following year that the Brewers had the best season in franchise history. Cooper hit .320 with 12 home runs in the abbreviated campaign.
In 1982, first baseman Cooper was at the heart of the one of the era's great lineups, batting third behind Paul Molitor and Robin Yount, and in front of Ted Simmons, Gorman Thomas, and Charlie Moore. Cooper hit .313, with 32 home runs and 121 runs batted in. On October 3, 1982, in a game deciding the American League East championship, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Baltimore Orioles 10–2, closing out the season with a mark of 95–67. Their opponent in the ALCS was the western division champion California Angels.
The Brewers reached their first (and so far only) World Series as they eliminated the Angels in five games, becoming the first team in major league history to come back from a two-games-to-none deficit and win a best-of-five postseason series. In the decisive Game Five, Jim Gantner and Charlie Moore scored on Cooper's seventh-inning bases-loaded single. In a gesture reminiscent of former teammate Carlton Fisk, who waved his arms to keep the ball fair in Game Six of the '75 Series, Cooper was motioning for the ball to get down. "I remember thinking, 'get down ball, get down.' The crowd was so loud I couldn't really hear myself saying anything, but I just wanted to keep waving so that ball would fall in there." Overall he hit just 3-for-20 in the series.
The 1982 World Series was called the "Suds Series" because it pitted the two of America's largest beer cities against each other: Milwaukee and St. Louis. The National League champion St. Louis Cardinals featured first baseman Keith Hernandez and future Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith. Cecil homered in a losing effort in Game Three, and his 8-for-28 record was not enough, as his team lost a seven-game series.
After the 1982 season, Cooper's teammate Robin Yount won the American League MVP award, and just as in 1980 when he lost to George Brett, Cecil finished fifth in the voting. Yount hit .331 with 29 home runs and 114 RBIs. "Maybe, I'm the Lou Gehrig of my time", says Cooper "... always in the shadows of someone else. He's a pretty good role model, though."
A five-time All-Star, Cooper hit .300 or more from 1977 to 1983. His most productive season came in 1980, when he hit a career-high .352 (finishing second in the American League behind batting champion George Brett's .390 average for the Kansas City Royals), and he also led the league in RBIs (122) and total bases (335).
In 1983 Cooper hit .307 with 30 home runs and a league-leading and career-high 126 RBIs. He also posted three seasons with 200-plus hits, in 1980, 1982 and 1983, finished fifth in the AL MVP vote, and was named the Brewers' team MVP in three seasons (1980, 1982–83). An excellent defensive first baseman, he was a two-time Gold Glove winner (1979–80). He also won the Silver Slugger Award in three straight years (1980–82); the only other Brewer to have done so is Ryan Braun (2008–10).
Cooper concluded his major league career with 11 seasons as a Brewer, including an appearance in the 1982 World Series. Cooper holds the Milwaukee franchise records for hits (219 in 1980). Cooper held the team record for RBIs in a season with 126 until Prince Fielder broke that record on September 19, 2009 against the Houston Astros, who Cooper was managing at the time. Through 2011 he was one of three Brewers who have had four 100-RBI seasons, along with Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun.[2]
While in Milwaukee, Cecil wrote a column for the Brewers' magazine, What's Brewing? He wrote everything from his baseball experiences as a hitter and a first baseman to how kids could get autographs from their favorite players. In 1983, Cooper won baseball's coveted "Roberto Clemente" award for his community service. Since 1970, the award has been given to players for their humanitarian service and initiatives. Cecil worked with Athletes for Youth, a Milwaukee-based inner city program teaching children about baseball, and was honorary chairman of both the Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin and the 1982 Food for Families Project. Bud Selig said of Cooper, "I think Cecil does a lot more than any of us know. Cecil is shy. What he does, he prefers to do in anonymity." Cecil Cooper holds Brewers single season record in hits (219 in 1980). As a Brewer, he is ranked third all-time in batting (.302), hits (1,815), doubles (345), and home runs (201). He is second in RBIs with 994. In 2002 he was inducted into the Brewers Walk of Fame.
Following his retirement in 1987, Cooper became a player agent for CSMG International until 1996. He then worked as farm director for the Brewers as well as a scout. In 2002, Cooper returned to the dugout as bench coach for Milwaukee. He also managed the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians in 2003–04. Cooper had a record of 130–156, finishing fourth in 2003 and third in 2004.
In 2005, he took advantage of the opportunity to return to his native Texas as a bench coach for the Houston Astros. On August 27, 2007, he was named the interim manager of the Astros following the firing of Phil Garner, making him the first African American field manager in Astros' history. The team went 15–16 to finish the season in 4th place with a record of 73–89, 12 games back of division winners Chicago Cubs. On September 28, 2007, Cooper's interim tag was dropped and he became the Astros' 16th manager. In 2008 the team had a winning record of 86–75, good enough for 3rd place, but still 11 games behind the repeating divisional winning Cubs. In Cooper's third full season as manager the team slipped back to a losing record of 74–88, dropping down to 5th place, a disappointing 17 games behind the division winning St. Louis Cardinals.
Cooper was released as Astros manager on September 21, 2009.[1]
Cooper was elected to the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in 2007.
He lives now in Katy, TX with his wife Octavia and daughter Tori. He has two other grown daughters, Kelly and Brittany.

Dropping enrollments add financial pressures at Manchester schools
The deficit could have significant implications on the city's coffers, but what effect — if any — the shortfall will have has yet to be determined.
"The numbers we are seeing right now show an actual enrollment number of 624 students," said DeFrancis.
Mayor Ted Gatsas isn't convinced yet that the lower enrollment figures are accurate.
"If they are correct, then a high percentage of students would have gone to school here for three years, then left their senior year to go somewhere else," said Gatsas. "I just don't think that's the case. That's why we're going back over the figures on a student-by-student basis, to see how they were counted."
Last March, about 500 Dunbarton residents voted to end their 40-year agreement with Goffstown and enter into an agreement with Bow beginning in September 2014. The loss of the Dunbarton students could mean a loss of about $2 million in annual revenue for Goffstown.

Comments about Sunday Riley Good Genes Treatment, 1 fl oz:
This is a beautiful little serum that I use in the mornings before the Sunday Riley Juno serum. It makes my skin glow all day, and the effects accumulate with each use. I have tried to find a substitution for it far and wide because of Good Genes' price tag, but there is none, so I've accepted that this will just have to be my HG day serum for a long time. One thing, though: be sure to cleanse your face with a face brush or exfoliating cleanser twice daily, as this serum works best on very clear skin.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Sunday Riley Good Genes Treatment, 1 fl oz:
Good Genes is a great hybrid--not quite a night cream, not simply a serum. If you're looking for a product that really elevates the night treatment category, I feel like this is the one. It's not really appropriate for day--it has a unique texture that needs time to absorb into skin. But if you're willing to give it a shot, the results are heavenly. I feel like my skin has gained glow and resilience since I started adding this to my nightly routine post-cleansing. I love the look of my skin when I get up in the morning! I've also used it as a mask with the Ceramic Slip Cleanser--and adored the results. Great to throw on before an event for that extra glow.

How to Complain Effectively and Get Your Money Back
Sticky Situations
We've all got horror stories about a rude salesperson, a new appliance that broke after a week, or an online order that never arrived. And lately those stories seem to be proliferating, thanks to recession-related cost-cutting that includes the shrinking of workforces and more outsourcing of customer call centers. It can feel like a small miracle just to get an actual service representative on the phone -- after navigating a complicated phone tree and waiting on hold for 20 minutes, of course.
What remains unchanged is the fact that as a consumer, you have very little protection against shoddy service or faulty products. Now more than ever it's up to you to make things right -- and that means mastering the art of effective complaining. By stating your case calmly and logically, you can turn that salesperson, waiter, or customer rep into an ally and resolve most common consumer problems. We asked experts for the tactics that get results.
The Situation: The dry cleaner lost or ruined your favorite dress.
Need to Know: Many dry cleaners will reimburse you if they're clearly at fault; their insurance may even cover it. For best results, talk directly with the owner, advises Marilyn Suttle, coauthor of Who's Your Gladys? How to Turn Even the Most Difficult Customer into Your Biggest Fan. If he refuses to repay you for the damaged or missing item, ask if he follows the guidelines of the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute International, an industry trade association. Few dry cleaners want to admit that they don't.
Speak Your Mind: "You lost my dress, and I'd like to be reimbursed. I wore it a few times, so I don't expect full price." This last phrase demonstrates that you're reasonable. You may need to provide some proof of the dress's value, such as a receipt (if you still have one) or a Web site printout showing the price of a similar item.
Bite Your Tongue: An ultimatum, like "Replace my dress at full price or I'll talk to an attorney," is perceived as a fairly empty threat because a lawsuit would consume time, effort, and more money on your part than the dress is probably worth.
The Situation: You made your credit-card payment after 5:00 p.m. on the day it was due but it didn't get posted until the next day -- so you got slapped with a $39 late fee.
Need to Know: Many credit-card issuers let call-center representatives waive late fees for customers who generally pay their bills on time, says Curtis Arnold, founder of CardRatings.com. "The dirty little secret of the credit-card industry is that it costs $200 to $250 in marketing fees to replace every customer it loses," adds Arnold. "The industry has been hit hard in this credit crunch, so it's good business to keep customers happy."
Speak Your Mind: Call the 800 number on the back of your card and say, "I paid this bill after office hours on its due date. I have always been on time in the past. Can you remove this late fee?" This will rarely be a tough sell; the representative can verify your payment history while you're on the phone. But if the rep can't help you, ask to speak to a supervisor, and if that doesn't budge her, say, "This is unacceptable. Other credit-card companies waive late fees; I'll start using one of their cards if you won't help me."
Bite Your Tongue: Telling the representative that you'll stop using your card is one thing, but actually closing your account is the wrong move. "It can hurt your credit score," warns Arnold.
Need to Know: Room requests are just that; hotels will try to honor them but cannot make guarantees. Most hotels, however, will move you if rooms are available; some might even upgrade you to a VIP room for the same price. "The hospitality industry is highly competitive, and what differentiates one hotel from another is service," says Holly Stiel, a San Francisco-based consultant who trains hotel staff worldwide. "Hotels want loyal customers who say good things." And they don't want bad reviews plastered all over the Internet, where millions of potential customers could read them.
Speak Your Mind: Before you even unpack, go in person to the front desk and ask, "Is the hotel sold out tonight?" That way you'll know whether switching rooms is even possible. If it's not sold out, say, "I know you didn't take the reservation, but I requested a room away from the elevator. I'm a light sleeper, and I need to get up early tomorrow." Acknowledging that the person you're speaking to is not responsible will make him an ally, says Stiel. If the hotel is sold out, say, "I'm really disappointed. Is there anything you can do to improve my stay here?"
Bite Your Tongue: Accusations ("I think I'll sue") and threats ("I'll never stay here again") are rarely productive.

The AFC playoff picture has several more teams involved than their NFC counterparts. We can count 10 teams that still have (somewhat) realistic playoff hopes following Week 12.
If the playoffs ended today, the AFC seeds would be: 1.) Texans 2.) Patriots 3.) Ravens 4.) Raiders 5.) Steelers 6. Bengals.
Unlike the NFC, the AFC has a lot of teams that are still alive. The Jets, Titans and Broncos are a game out of the wildcard race while the Bills are two games out. The Patriots, Ravens and Steelers all seem very likely to make the playoffs. The Texans have a two-game lead and are currently slotted for the No. 1 seed but their top two quarterbacks are now injured putting their season in question. The AFC West continues to be a mystery with Tim Tebow and the Broncos leading a comeback and sitting just one game behind the first place Raiders.
Here's a look at where we stand with the AFC playoff picture after Week 12:
AFC East: Patriots (8-3), Jets (6-5), Bills (5-6), Dolphins (3-8).
The Patriots are starting to look like the best team in the AFC. The offense has put up over 30 points in three straight games and the defense, while giving up a lot of yards, seems to make a lot of big plays at key times. They're on pace to win the division and it'd be hard to see anyone catching them. The Jets and Bills played on Sunday and New York got a big boost with the victory, moving them one game ahead of the Bills. The Jets are right in the middle of the wildcard race, a game behind the Bengals. They've been here before and I think they can finish strong down the stretch.
Prediction: Patriots win the division, Jets get the wildcard.
AFC North: Ravens (8-3), Steelers (8-3), Bengals (7-4), Browns (4-7).
As of now, the AFC North is on pace to send three teams to the playoffs -- the division winner and both wildcards. The Ravens or Steelers will likely win the division and the other should pick up the wildcard. The Bengals are the, uh, wildcard in all of this -- they have just a one-game lead over the Jets and Titans in the wildcard race. Cincy has three games coming up against division leaders (Steelers, Ravens and Texans) and two very winnable ones (Rams and Cardinals). While Cincy is right there, I'm not sure nine wins would do it.
Prediction: Ravens win the division, Steelers get the wildcard.
AFC South: Texans (8-3), Titans (6-5), Jaguars (3-8), Colts (0-11).
Houston is your No. 1 seed in the AFC at the moment but their path to the playoffs are far from secure. The Texans are down to their third quarterback, rookie T.J. Yates, after injuries to both Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart. They might need two more wins out of him -- can he do it? The Titans are tied with the Jets a game behind the Bengals in the wildcard race right now.
Prediction: Texans win the division, no wildcard.
AFC West: Raiders (7-4), Broncos (6-5), Chargers (4-7), Chiefs (4-7).
The two teams who have won the last five AFC West titles, Chargers and Chiefs, now sit at the bottom of the division with all playoff hopes essentially gone. The Raiders are on track to win the division but one intriguing angle is Tim Tebow and the resurgence of the Broncos. Count me among the doubters that the Broncos can keep this pace up so, for now, we'll take the Raiders winning the division but this will be a fluid division down the stretch.
Prediction: Raiders win the division, no wildcard.

Authorities released the name of a 31-year-old Las Vegas man who died after a fall in Red Rock Canyon over the weekend.
The Clark County Coroner's office said Nathan Paul McKinney died of multiple blunt force trauma as a result of a fall from height.
Metro police received a call from a female hiker about 2 p.m. about a man who was injured at Calico Basin on Nov. 24. A family member said McKinney was found by his sister-in-law.
Police and the Clark County Fire Department responded and found the man deceased.
A family member of McKinney said he and several other relatives were on a group hike at the time of the fall. None of McKinney's family members saw the fall, but they rendered aid to Nathan until first responders arrived, the family member said.
The cause and distance of the fall are both unknown at this time.
Funeral arrangements were also pending, according to McKinney's family.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- LSU senior forward LaSondra Barrett has been carted off the court during the second half of the Southeastern Conference women's tournament title game.
Barrett had fallen after taking a jumper. Tennessee forward Alicia Manning got the rebound, and players turned to head back down court.
The LSU forward was in the path of Tennessee forward Glory Johnson when her knee hit Barrett's temple, knocking her back to the court. Officials stopped play with 14:18 to go, and trainers and paramedics strapped her to a backboard with a neck brace before lifting her onto a stretcher. Officials reviewed the play, but made no foul call.
LSU fans chanted her nickname "Boogie, Boogie" as they put her on the board.
She waved to fans as she was taken off the court to a standing ovation.

Good dog, Sesame
Nick Zaharias of Derry was out with his dog Sesame during a recent snowstorm.
Sesame, an 11-year-old Shiba Inu, isn't much of a barker, Zaharias said, but he was barking up a storm that morning.
It seems an elderly neighbor had slipped on the ice and was lying on the ground.
Sesame, our canine hero this week, noticed and wouldn't stop sounding the alarm until Zaharias paid attention to the neighbor's dilemma.
Thanks to Sesame, all ended well. The neighbor wasn't seriously hurt and was soon back on his feet.
As for Sesame, he got a well-deserved new bone.
Ice Capades in Londonderry
Debris from the sky? Burglars on the roof?
No, it was big chunks of ice falling from the house roof onto the porch roof that prompted a Mammoth Road resident to call police last week.
"Caller reports she just heard a loud crash on her roof, and she is afraid to go out and look," dispatch reported in the log.
Fortunately, Londonderry's finest didn't share her fear and investigated.
The roof seemed none the worse for the event and all was reported well.
Early wake-up call
Londonderry High School's Marching Lancers were tired after their long bus ride to Maryland Saturday for their second inaugural parade trip.
After a day on the bus, after an appropriately patriotic and enthusiastic sendoff that morning, the Lancers were ready for bed before a big day of touring Baltimore.
That well-deserved sleep was interrupted just before 3 a.m. when the fire alarms sounded and the hotel had to be evacuated.
Fortunately, drumline captain Dalton Gyorda reported, there was no fire and the Lancers were soon tucked safely back into bed.

I seem to be entertained by the fighters that sprawl and brawl but have a BJJ game if it ever hits the mat. I've noticed that I like to watch fighters like Junior Dos Santos & BJ Penn, they are two of my favorite fighters. I just mainly favor a fighter with stand up skills and a BJJ game, most of the fighters I find entertaining are that style, like Anderson Silva, Korean Zombie, Rodrigo Nogueira, Kenny Florian. The typical boxer/wrestler don't really do it for me much.
What fighting styles do some of your favorite MMA fighters use?

Emergency dispatchers hear the voices every day.
- "Yeah you got a severely drunk person driving on Loop 12 northbound."
- "I think this guy is drunk as a doorknob he's all over the highway."
- "He is swerving all over the road. He almost hit us."
- "They're so drunk they almost slammed into me."
These are real 911 calls from drivers who reported close calls with suspected drunken drivers. During many of the recordings, callers have to be transferred from one jurisdiction to another as the suspect zips across city lines.
Callers may think no one's responding, but police departments say they're wrong.
"About once a month, I'll get a phone call from someone who says the exact same story... almost like reading from a script," said Mothers Against Drunk Driving Executive Director Jeff Miracle. "'I saw someone, they were swerving, looked like they'd been drinking and driving, so I called. I was on the phone for 30 minutes, I talked to people in four different cities, and in the end I just went home,'" he said describing the experiences people often relate to him.
"I'm not sure what the answer is," Miracle said. "But I do know our police are out there every day trying to get people pulled over for drinking and driving and make the roads safer."
Police say handing off 911 calls from one jurisdiction to another are just a frustrating reality of living in a region with multiple major cities and police departments.
But they don't want the calls to stop, because they work.
"In our department, there are actually five officers in the DWI unit. But there are literally thousands of cars passing through the city at any given minute, so we can't be in every portion of the city to intercept those drivers, so we rely on citizens to call 911," said Officer Steve Burres, who heads the city of Irving's DWI unit. "You're actually the eyes and ears of the police department. We can't be everywhere."
Calli McClendon wishes someone would've called 911 on November 17, 2009.
"She was on her way to pick up my little brother and sister, her youngest, from day care," Calli said, recalling the moments before her family changed forever.
Calli's mother, Donna Thornton Winters, was 44 years old with three adult children and two young ones: Luke was 2 and Lilly was just 11 months old.
A drunken driver with a blood alcohol level four times the legal limit and two prior DUI convictions slammed into her vehicle and killed her in Ellis County.
"There were a lot of things she missed right then," McClendon said. "My graduation; her youngest daughter's first birthday; my wedding."
Police said the man had been on the road almost an hour before the crash.
"Ultimately, it was God's plan," McClendon said. "Even if someone had called that night, they might not have gotten there before it happened."
But McClendon hopes everyone will call whenever they spot a potentially impaired driver.
"I've called on people before, and I've stayed behind them until the cops get there," she said. "You can hurt other people. Those are innocent people. They didn't have any say in whether you got behind the wheel."
The City of Irving alone got 181,873 emergency 911 calls last year. While the department does not keep statistics detailing exactly how many were reports of drunken drivers, Burres estimates it's between 2,300 and 2,500.
"It's a pretty common thing," said dispatcher Tracy Pulley. Operators are highly trained to quiz callers, then relay each piece of information they get to officers on the streets, even officers in nearby cities.
"The vehicle descriptions, colors, license plates," she said explaining what they like to hear from callers. "We'll ask if they're heading to Fort Worth or Dallas. We'll ask people if they feel safe to follow. But that's up to them," she said.
Burres said the best information to help police find a suspect are streets and landmarks.
"Give us a good physical description of the vehicle," he said. "If you can safely follow them, then do so,"
"I know the five of us in our section will actually leave the city because the safety of the public and protection of human life is much more important than [jurisdiction]. We can hammer out in court who has jurisdiction. But to get this bad driver stopped, I'll leave the city of Irving and go to Fort Worth or down 360 into Arlington or into Dallas and get them stopped. And then we'll worry who is going to assume that arrest," Burres added.
Emergency call recordings prove that officers do follow through.
"I see a cop now," said one caller. "OK he's pulling in behind him now."
Police say reports from the public often lead to arrests.
"It's almost a nightly thing," said Burres.
But so is the grief for Calli McClendon. It's nightly, daily, always.
"She had a smile that would brighten up a room," she said. "I think that's one of the things I miss the most. How she could smile and, you know, moms have the words to say to make every situation better."

"We are really very excited about the culture we are creating," Firefli Media President, Greg Brock says. "We feel for the right people, it can be an amazing opportunity for something that's really starting to take off."
John Cornthwait and Matthew Sams who both work at the digital media company came from corporate backgrounds.
They now help Brock build websites, increase traffic for companies social media, and design logos.
Both agree,.they can be much more creative and successful in this environment.
"It was odd from having to dress up 5 days a week to being able to wear jeans and a T-shirt every day, but it was really refreshing," Firefli Media, John Cornthwait says.
'We hold each other responsible for getting our work done, but we want each other to have a good life and a full life," Firefli Media, Matthew Sams say.
The off-beat leadership is what these guys attribute to being some of the reason the start-up company is doing so well.
Since Firefli officially moved into it's Grandin Village Space in October 2012, they've gone from having 15 clients to 38.
They plan to hire 4 more people and expand their space by nearly 1,000 square feet.
They've also extended their reach by adding clients in D.C., Aspen, Atlanta, and the U.K.."
These guys hope this is only the beginning of a long road of success.
Brock also recently won 'Advertising Person of the Year' at the 2012 ADDY Awards.

An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC looks at the horrible situation in Ferguson, MO and what it says about where we are and where we're going.
Roderick Heath on "We Are the Best!"; The whiplash of journalism; Hollywood's secret sequel economy; Chatting with Seth Meyers; Kirk Douglas on Lauren Bacall.
BBC America offers another sci-fi show from the great Glen Morgan that's not-so-great.
We know he lives in movies because we literally find him in one. Leos Carax's much-debated "Holy Motors" begins with a man (Carax himself) asleep in bed, then waking and approaching a wall of the room that looks like a forest. Knowing just where to look among the trees, he unlocks a door using a key growing from his finger. Well, isn't that what artists do? Unlock doors with their fingers?
Now this man is inside a cinema, and we meet Monsieur Oscar (Denis Lavant), who lives in a house that seems designed by the same architect employed in Jacques Tati's "Mon Oncle." He gets into the waiting limo, driven by a taciturn woman, and we see that the back of the limo, seemingly much larger inside than the outside, is a dressing room filled with costumes and props. When he gets out the first time, he has transformed himself into a wretched beggar woman. This will be the first of his many roles, or assignments, or embodiments. He performs in bizarre and mysterious ways, linked only by the desire of a mime or comedian to entertain and amaze us. His "appointments" take him into personas so diverse, it would be futile to try to link them, or find a thread of narrative or symbolism. If there is a message here, Walt Whitman once put it into words: "I am large. I contain multitudes."
Here is M. Oscar as a madman wandering street markets and eating flowers or whatever else he can snatch up. M. Oscar in the most famous cemetery in Paris, Pere Lachaise, occupied by the dead and famous (Moliere, Chopin, Jim Morrison, Colette, Oscar Wilde). In "Holy Motors," however, the cemetery's tombstones carry no names, requesting us, to "visit my web site."
Here is M. Oscar transforming a fashion model (Eva Mendes) into a Muslim woman concealed within her costume. And that's not all that happens to her, although she adheres to the model's code and never betrays emotions or opinions. Her job is to embody a beautiful object for the purposes of others. Their travels through the city lead to the roof of the Samaritaine department store, producing stunning vistas of Paris.
Celine (Edith Scob), his reserved chauffeur, seems long accustomed to her role. Once she expresses concern that M. Oscar hasn't eaten all day. Their day began at dawn and lasts far into the night, one "appointment" after another.
This has been a year of leading roles for limousines. M. Oscar's car upstages the limousine in David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis," and the journeys of both cars seem to be odysseys through their cities, for purposes not very clear to the audience. "Holy Motors" is the more entertaining and funny of the two, although some parts are not funny at all, and many laughs are of disbelief or incredulity. Both end with their limousines going home for the night, answering a question asked in "Cosmopolis," although when the limo in "Holy Motors" gets home, its day is far from over.
Here is a film that is exasperating, frustrating, anarchic and in a constant state of renewal. It's not tame. Some audience members are going to grow very restless. My notion is, few will be bored.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Georgia officials say sophomore safety Josh Harvey-Clemons has been suspended for the Bulldogs' season-opening game at Clemson.
Harvey-Clemons was suspended for an undisclosed violation of team rules. Georgia spokesman Claude Felton said Wednesday. Harvey-Clemons was not arrested, but no further details were released.
Harvey-Clemons, a projected starter, appeared in 14 games as a freshman in 2012. He had 14 tackles and broke up one pass.
Georgia opens its season at Clemson on Aug. 31.

Lowa Silberhorn GTX
4-star: 0
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
I set out for Colorado for a fourteener winter ascent…
Materials: Leather, vibram, gore-tex
Use: Mountaineering
Break-in Period: Moderate
Price Paid: $270
I set out for Colorado for a fourteener winter ascent and instead of the usual crusty snow we encountered the biggest snow storm to hit the front range this year (Feb 2010) which made mountain conditions an all out winter mountaineering experience.
My feet stayed warm but I did not sweat much in them at all; overall excellent insulation. The temperature was about -10 F with a wind chill into the negative teens/low twenties. The first part of our ascent was normal hiking on snow without snowshoes and they did not give any problems; they were extremely comfortable for a mountaineering boot, however, don't expect them to fit like street shoes.
I sized up a half size from what I normally wear and that worked great for me. I did not develop any blisters or hot spots in our 18 mile hike. They fit very similar to Lowa's hiking boots. I did wear them for 25 hours at work and went on one 3 miles hike in the snow before I took them out and that was enough break in time.
They went great with snowshoes and especially great with crampons. I didn't even use automatic step-in crampons but I can only imagine the improvement because of how good they performed with strap-on crampons. The sole is extremely stiff which is what you want for a mountaineering boot. If you were to venture into colder temperatures a super gaiter (over boot) would add the extra warmth for any expedition.
From someone who has actually used them in harsh mountain conditions I highly recommend this boot.

On tap at local bar.. Poured into pint glass.
This pours a hazy golden color with not much head. Some lacing is on the glass. Some visibility through the pour. Smells of lemons, soap, some hops as well as floral notes. Not overpowering but enjoyable. Taste is pretty smooth. Nice hop presence with lemons and doughs up front. Mouthfeel is fairly thin with mediocre carbonation from the tap. Overall this is a decent brew. Definitely sessionable.

Found a sixpack of this at a Schnuck's(St Louis based) grocery in Evansville. Bottled Dec 14 2006, according to a stamp on the label. Pours a lightly hazed amber body with a small offwhite head. Very good retention with some spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma is toasty malts, citrusy and floral hops, and a hint of spicy rye. Medium carbonation supports the light medium body. Taste is ruled by a floral hop bitterness that is complimented by toasty toffee maltiness, some citrus, and a welcome bite of spicy rye. Nice! Not exactly an English style ESB but very nicely done and highly drinkable.

Presentation: 12oz. amber bottle. "Bottled with love" on 11/6/03.
Appearance: Poured a clear dark orange in color. Thick and creamy off-white lace gurgles up then quickly subsides to a respectable finger thick layer. Patchy and sticky lace on the glass.
Smell: Hoppy in the nose. Some caramel sweetness, too. A bit of an earthy character.
Taste: Falls off a little here. Well-balanced but not very "bitter". More like an IPA to me. Finishes with a gritty aftertaste, slightly puckering.
Mouthfeel and Drinkability: Low-medium bodied. Fairly smooth. On the thin side. Still, it tasted very fresh and was easy on the palate.
Thanks to winomark for this offering.

Light brown hued with a good half inch head of khaki colored foam. Brussels lacing. I get a bit of biscuity malt and faint pine like hops in the nose. I get some dark malt on the front of the palate and it is quickly followed by sharp bittering hops. I get a bit of a dry chalky mouth. I get more hops and a copper penny like malt fade.

Received this in an awesome package of generosity from rsyberg01 as a received in the recent holiday sponsor a BA. Thanks again Ric!
Appearance- Pours a darker shade of amber with about a half finger of beige head sitting on top. Dies back pretty quickly but leaves a coating across the top of the beer that lasts throughout. Lots of beading and some mild amounts of lace left.
Smell- Fairly muted nose with a mixture of sweet malt and some piney hops showing through. Somewhat understated.
Taste- Very mild. Lots of sweet caramel and bready malt showing through initially. However, a fair amount of balancing piney bitterness shows through on the finish. Pretty straightforward and not the most impressive example of the style I've had but nice all-around.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability- Mouthfeel is good and adequately carbonated. This one is a little strong to session, and I find the flavor a little to lacking to drink too many, but it did go down easy.
Overall, an unoffensive and fairly easy drinking beer. Not my favorite ESB however, and I would have hoped for more in the flavor. Nonetheless, nothing really off about this one.

A- Pleasing fresh hop aroma.
T- Nice malt and dry hop flavor. Great balance of sweetness, hops and a bit of pine.
M- Medium body with good carbonation and a little heat.

Light apricot color with a thick and frothy head that sits atop the glass, and creates deep craters as it sloooowly sinks. It leaves foamy webs of lace around the glass. Aroma is mostly floral hops, some sweet malt, and some honey. Flavor is hoppy, a bit tart and tingly. Some light malts shine through, followed by a citrusy pine finish, tinged with alcohol warmth. Bitter piney hops linger. Thanks to MJR for sharing.

3.08/5 rDev -18.9%
A mix of copper and light brown flow out the bottle. A good amount, 1.5 finger head. Smells like a lot of malt heavy midwest beers.
Taste isn't as sweet as most esb's I've had, tastes a little more earthy substantial instead of the sweet I've come to notice in my fave esb's.
Mouthfeel, begins to take on tobacco notes with the dark, almost doppelbock light feel to it. Remains drinkable, doesn't overwhelm the palate with a negative heavy effect.

12 oz bottle filled 11-15-2013.
Pours lightly hazed, medium amber with a fine, durable creamy beige head.
Aroma of baked bread, light spices and fruity hops.
Flavor: conservatively spiced, the fruity citrus character seems to be the more unusual feature in this ESB.
Feel: smooth with medium but very soft (natural?) carbonation.
O: This winter ESB Schlafly Winter ESB is lighter than your average Winter Warmer, providing another good choice for the holidays. If found it to be enjoyable on a hot Spring day as well.

Nose is intense sharp hops and it shines through on the palate. Syruppy, sharp hoppyness, and a bit one dimensional, not really elegant or rounded or anything, just a bunch of phat, syruppy, cloying hops that kick you in the face. Let down by the lack of balance and complexity, there is lots of flavour there, but its a bit ugly, not too bad though.

(Served in an American pint glass)
Brewed on Dec. 14th 2006
A- This beer has a warm golden orange body that is clear showing of a strong carbonation of big bubbles. There is a thick film of yellowish-white head that last and last through the beer.
S- This smell of smooth pint hops dominates the smell with notes of lightly toasted malt buried in the background.
T- This beer has a nice flavor of dry lightly toasted malt with a slightly tart pine hop flavor in the finish. There are notes of dark toasted malt that comes through as the beer warms.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a slightly creamy texture for a bit.
D- This beer has some nice malt flavors but not much depth. This is a nice ESP that is very drinkable and there is no palate fatigue even after a few pints.

Pours a crystal clear golden orange amber with an amber tinged full 2 finger head that slowly melts to a ring of very sticky lacing of large bubbles.
Aromas are caramel with lager<?> yeasts scents and light citrus hops.
Taste is toasted amber malts that evolve to the citrus hops. Actually nothing overpowers...they just blend one to another.
Mouthfeel is creamy smooth with tiny carbination to keep it from becoming sticky.
Aftertaste is the same blend as the flavor with only a slight drying.
Slight alcohol warming as you swallow that fills the chest cavity with warmth.
Thanks jpm30 for this wonderful example of an American ESB

This beer was poured into an Imperial pint glass at 55° from a 12 ounce bottle. A 'Bottled With Love on' date was on the bottom of the label. Three fingers plus of an off white head were produced from the pour. A lingering lacing effect was left on the glass as the head dissipated into the clear, amber colored beer.
I sensed more malt aroma than hops. There were no off odors and the combination of the malt and hops kept me sniffing away more than once.
This was smooth and not as bitter as I would expect an ESB. There was a little bit of bitterness on the tongue with a good grainy sweet taste developing.
The hops were more evident in the aftertaste once the beer had been swallowed. They found their way into the back of the throat and then exited through the nose. The beer stayed slightly bitter with a bit of syrupy taste at the end.
This was a comfortable beer with a good marriage of the hops and malt. It is smooth and easy to drink but could sneak up on you at 6.2%.

A - Slightly hazy orange/amber brew with a big three finger off white head. Some lace sticks to the glass, and the head has really good retention. I took quite a while to drink this beer, and there was always a thick cap on top of the carrot juice hued brew.
S - Big pine hops with a touch of lemon grass. I can't really smell any malt notes, but the Pine-Sol hop aromas are nice enough.
T - Again, pine is the major player here without much support from the malt tones. Christmas tree needles and sap. Grassy, acrid, and very bitter.
M - Light in body with quite a bit of carbonation and an extremely bitter and acidic finish.
D - A very average and uninspired brew IMO. Nothing really wrong with that, but I don't really see why it's considered a Christmas beer.

Medium white head, fluffy. Copper in color, just dark enough that you can't see through it.
Hops and rye in the nose, malt in the background, along with other cold weathers spices.
A crisp feel in the mouth, leave it too long and you'll feel a burn.
Taste is similar to most bitters, but the rye element adds a little something. Like all bitters, I could drink and enjoy one, but no more than one in an evening.

A - Poured golden color into a snifter. Once there it was more amber colored, transparent with a nice 1.5 inch white head.
S - Muted dry hops and rich malt. Grapefruit and a bit of pine on the nose.
T - Spicy and sweet. Great combo with a low profile of bitterness throughout. Finished clean. Great balance overall.
M - Light to medium body and moderate carbonation.
D - Great ESB. The rye comes through nicely and spices it up almost perfectly.

Review based on notes
Pours an effervescent amber with 3 fingers of tan head. Good head retention & lacing
S: Apricot & not much else
T: Slight fruittyness, chalky dryness & leafy hops up front. Orange peel & leafy hops as this warms. Finishes dry, a bit of sulphur, apricot & a touch of honey
MF: Medium bodied with slight carbonation. Good balance
Drinks easy enough, nice intro to the style

According to PFW's Packers sources, this year's team could pack the most potent punch in some time at outside linebacker.
A blazing start by ROLB Clay Matthews — who by all accounts has looked like a man possessed since the start of a training camp devoid of the injuries that nagged him last season — is certainly a major reason the expectations are so lofty.
But a less obvious factor worth noting is the underrated efforts of No. 3 OLB Erik Walden, who had a terrific training camp after the Packers decided to keep him around despite a domestic altercation late last November that resulted in a one-game suspension to start the season.
There was a widely held feeling that Walden's play tailed off after his off-the-field incident, but while he did have one really bad game in which he was pulled from his starting ROLB role, our sources who watched him on a daily basis believe he got a bit of a bum rap.
Fast and tough off the edge with good lateral movement, we're told Walden really benefited from a full offseason working with defensive coordinator Dom Capers and is playing well enough to seriously challenge first-round draft pick Nick Perry for playing time at left outside linebacker.
Considered a major work in progress with tremendous natural tools and great size, Perry made some definite strides matched up against Bears ORT and fellow first-rounder Gabe Carimi in Week Two. But team insiders think one of the most interesting things to watch in the short-term is the division of labor between Perry and Walden.
Completing the impressive mix at outside linebacker is undrafted rookie Dezman Moses, whose physicality, subtle quickness and ability to play on both sides made LB coach Kevin Greene take special notice from the get-go.
