Welcome to the residential community at Fordham University. As a new resident, you will take an active role in creating a responsible community that respects the rights of all of its members. As a resident student you will be encouraged to learn more about yourself and others by participating in programming activities, supporting and celebrating differences among individuals, providing service both locally and globally, and living within the guidelines established for your residential community. Students and staff are collaboratively engaged in pursuing an education that is based on the Jesuit tradition of academic excellence. The highly qualified Office of Residential Life staff consists of resident directors, resident assistants, resident freshmen mentors and the central office staff who are all eager to work with students in unifying the university living environment and the academic experience. It is our hope that students will achieve educational fulfillment by integrating all facets of University life, including community living and learning, into their own lives.
What Should I Expect? The education you will receive at Fordham University, one of only 28 Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States, is unique. The lessons you will learn outside the classroom complement those you'll learn within it. Just as high academic standards are a staple at Fordham, you will also encounter high standards of conduct in our residence halls, as these four years are training for greater service, responsibility and challenge after graduation. The staff who work in the halls will guide you in this education and are there to assure your responsibilities as well as your rights. During your first days on campus, you will meet your resident assistant. Each RA is handpicked from the student body for his or her ability to lead and act as a role model for students. RAs provide services and program opportunities, but they also guide and counsel students who live on campus. You will also meet our resident directors, who are graduate or professional students in charge of your residence hall or housing area.
RAs and RDs are important people to get to know. One of the roles of the staff is to work with students who may make mistakes in conduct or behavior, or who like to test the limits of the University Code of Conduct. Students arriving for life on campus will find the challenge of personal responsibility and independence an intense and indispensable introduction to adulthood. This, too, is part of a Jesuit education, as the values learned inside the classroom inform the standards for our community and are played out in everyday life at Lincoln Center and Rose Hill. The Office of Residential Life supports an overarching vision of creating community in all its efforts. A residence hall community is a group of students engaged in social interaction, possessing common educational goals and experiences, who show concern for and are sensitive to the needs of other residents, and are interested in furthering the group's goals. Residents share in defining the community's expectations of members and are held to these expectations by their peers.
The Office of Residential Life is sensitive to the rights and responsibilities of all resident students. In an effort to make our community conducive to academic, social and personal growth, policies have been established to ensure that individual rights are protected and responsibilities are understood. At Fordham University, there are many unique housing options on the Lincoln Center and Rose Hill campuses. The majority of the housing application instructions are the same at each campus, but please read this site carefully to familiarize yourself with the specifics of each of your choices. On this site, you will find Instructions for Applying and information on the online Housing Application (RL-100). Assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis. We will do our best to assign students to their first or second preference.

Lincoln Center Living
Lincoln Center first year, upperclass and law students reside in McMahon Hall. At the Lincoln Center campus, all undergraduate resident students live in the 20-story residence building, McMahon Hall. Amenities of McMahon Hall include 24-hour security, study lounges, social lounges, three free laundry rooms, tennis and basketball courts and a fitness center. Undergraduates live in single, double, and triple rooms in either two-bedroom or three-bedroom apartments. Freshmen primarily live in double and triple rooms; single rooms are only available for upperclassmen. Each apartment is fully furnished, air-conditioned and includes one or two bathrooms, a living/dining room area and a kitchen. Housing rates vary based upon single, double, or triple occupancy. Living in McMahon Hall requires a balance between independent and shared living. Compromise, tolerance and responsibility are essential to maintaining this balance. The residential life community is one in which independence is celebrated and participation in the residential, University and New York City communities are encouraged.
Return to Top
The Residence Hall Staff
The residence hall staff consists of a resident director for undergraduate students, a resident director for law students, 17 resident assistants, seven resident freshman mentors and two Jesuits-in-residence. Each freshman will have both a resident assistant and a resident freshman mentor dedicated to easing the transition to college. The live-in staff are entrusted with creating community and shaping a positive living experience through which residents can succeed academically, first and foremost, and to develop as a whole person.

Residential Hall Experience
Social, Awareness, Physical, Community Service, Spiritual and Cultural Events
Through a variety of programs within these categories, residents have a wonderful opportunity to socialize and expand their educational experiences, within McMahon Hall and their New York City neighborhood. Whether through service work at a local soup kitchen or "Dinner with the Deans" in the fifth floor lounge, the McMahon residential experience will provide a wide variety of events to help shape the "whole person" within the Jesuit tradition.
Newspaper Program
Monday through Thursday, the second floor contains free copies of the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and USA Today.
Cura Personalis Monthly Programs
The resident population is encouraged to attend monthly "Cura Personalis Programs." The Residential Life staff, with input and participation from residents, implements events that capture issues related to community living and the college student residential experience. Past programs include: "Resident Responsibility: Leadership and Participation in Your Community," "How to Help: What to Do When Concerned about a Friend," and "Fordham University Adjudication Process: an Inside Look."
Wellness Community
The Wellness Community in McMahon Hall is an intentional community through which students can become aware of ways of healthy living. The community is focused on encouraging students to develop their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. This occurs through interactive social and educational initiatives, active events and informational campaigns.
As part of this community students will gain an awareness and understanding of living a healthy lifestyle and the importance of physical exercise and wellness. Our healthy living initiatives include group fitness activities such as UJAM (a cardio dance workout to world music), IntenSati (a high energy cardio workout) and yoga.
The Wellness Community includes programs focused on nutrition as well. Monthly potlucks allow students to bring dishes and sample others while learning about different food lifestyles. Previous potlucks have included vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes. In our nutrition seminars, nutrition and wellness professionals are invited to campus for discussions during the semester.
McMahon Hall Happenings
This monthly newsletter informs residents about events, accomplishments and any fun updates within the community. This is a great way to remain connected and updated about other residents and the Office of Residential Life in general.

A Moment in Time: December 11, 2007
Just one year ago today, the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital landed in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for the first time and conducted the 100th program of the ORBIS DC-10. Even still, those two milestones weren't the only significant events that occurred.
Cambodian Dr Phara Khauv—one of only eight ophthalmologists in the nation—became the third FedEx Fellow. The FedEx Fellows program designates two ophthalmologists per year to complete one- to three-month fellowships at some of the world's leading eye institutes. This past spring, Dr Khauv completed his fellowship in pediatrics at Indiana University (IU) School of Medicine in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
Dr Khauv received training under the mentorship of ORBIS volunteer faculty Dr Dan Neely; the two have been collaborating on pediatric cases for years through ORBIS's telemedicine initiative Cyber-Sight. At the end of his two-month fellowship, Dr Khauv returned to Cambodia with expanded training and knowledge of pediatric eye care; skills that he will be able to pass on to his colleagues and use to treat Cambodia's growing youth population.
You can read more about Dr Khauv's journey in our 2008 Annual Report, "Now I Can See," which will be mailed out to our donors in the coming weeks. To request a copy, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hannah is elected to a top post
5:20pm Friday 9th November 2012 in News
A TEACHER who has been a member of Cutnall Green Young Farmers' Club, near Droitwich, for more than 10 years has been elected to the post of vice chairman at a national level.
Secondary school teacher Hannah Talbot was elected to the role for leading rural youth organisation the National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs (NFYFC).
The annual national council elections took place at the Quality Hotel, Coventry, and YFC members elected the people who they want to represent them as NFYFC ambassadors.
The 25-year-old, who lives in Worcester and is assistant head of English at the Chase School, Malvern, was selected after being involved with Cutnall Green for many years.
Her new role will be to ensure that the federation's 25,000 members are represented and to help develop the organisation, which is currently celebrating its 80th anniversary.
"The great thing about NFYFC is that you are constantly learning and developing new skills without really realising it," she said.
"Often, it's only when someone asks how I've gained experience in something, or why I'm skilled in a certain area, that I realise it has come from my involvement with YFC. It's a fantastic organisation to be a part of and I am looking forward to promoting it to more young people and representing our members."

AVHS Sports ...no music? no play by play? no fun!
Original post made by Janis Giovacchini on Apr 5, 2009
After being told last week that there should be no music or announcing
at AVHS athletic events I'm just wondering why? A huge part of sports
is the fans, music, cheering, hearning your name announced on the loud speaker.
For some reason all athletes at AVHS are being denied all of the above! Every
other school we travel to enjoys the high school sports experience. Why not us?
And by the way, every other school is surrounded by neighbors and houses. Our
events are completed by 9:30 pm. The AVHS athletic dept. has worked diligently to
comply with requests for less noise from neighbors. The volume has been lowered,
the speakers on the visitor's side are turned off, and all music is cleared with the
Vice Principal before it is placed on the play list.
I have spoken to the Pleasanton P.D. and we are not too loud nor are we
breaking any laws. Schools are exempt from the noise abatement laws. So what
exactly is the problem? If you purchase a home next to the fairgrounds, the
freeway, a busy road, or a school you are going to hear some noise! Pleasanton
is supposed to be the model city for raising a family. As a parent of a graduating
Senior I sure hope so. I would also like to know who is making these decisions?
J. Giovacchini
on Apr 5, 2009 at 4:52 pm
This issue has been hashed over extensively on this board. Bottom line -- The Amador Boosters funded a new sound system, Bill Coupe allowed it to be installed on his campus, yet it was never socialized with the immediate neighbors. This is in direct conflict with the PUSD's "Good Neighbor Policy."
As for being told, "there should be no music or announcing at AVHS athletic events," I'd like to know who told you that little ditty. Me thinks someone on Amador Staff has chosen the easy way out. No sound/music and no calls to a cell phone during events -- or calls to the District the day after.
Amador Staff and their management techniques are showcased at their best on this one. *laughing* These are the people you want to sustain via a parcel tax? I'd rethink that one if I were you.
on Apr 5, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Perhaps Janis Giovacchini's husband, who coaches the soccer team at Amador Valley High School, should ask for the specifics from his teaching/coaching peers. Or perhaps her son, who plays soccer and lacrosse at Amador, can ask around.
Come On Janis -- You likely know more than you are sharing.
on Apr 5, 2009 at 5:37 pm
I have clearly written what I know and I speak for myself. I'm not sure what you mean by
by" socializing" anything. I do know that we are not breaking any laws
and being a "Good Neighbor" goes two ways. Why shoud our students
have any less atmosphere than any other school in the area? I really
don't understand why it's such a big deal?
By the way Joe is an awesome coach and my son is a great young man, an excellent student, and athlete. My comments were my own and were meant
to give my son and all the other students at Amador the high school
experiences and memories they deserve and are entitled to.

|Gunnera tinctoria at the San Francisco Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum
|Scientific classification
|Core eudicots
See text.
Gunnera is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants, some of them gigantic. The genus is the only member of the family Gunneraceae.
The 40-50 species vary enormously in leaf size. Gunnera manicata, native to the Serra do Mar mountains of southeastern Brazil, is perhaps the largest species, with leaves typically 1.5–2 m (5–6 ft) wide, but exceptionally long, up to 3.4 m (11 ft), borne on thick, succulent leaf stalks (petioles) up to 2.5 m (8 ft) long. It germinates best in very moist, but not wet, conditions and temperatures of 22 to 29 °C.
Only slightly smaller is G. masafuerae of the Juan Fernandez Islands off the Chilean coast. They can have leaves up to 2.9 m (9 ft 5 inches) in width on stout leaf stalks 1.5 m (5 ft) long and 11 cm (4.5 in) thick according to Skottsberg. On nearby Isla Más Afuera, G. peltata frequently has an upright trunk to 5.5 m (18 ft) in height by 25–30 cm (10–12 in) thick, bearing leaves up to 2 m (6 ft 4 inches) wide. G. magnifica of the Colombian Andes bears the largest leaf buds of any plant; up to 60 cm (2 ft) long and 40 cm (16 inches) thick. The succulent leaf stalks are up to 2.7 m (8 ft 10 inches) long. The massive inflorescence of small, reddish flowers is up to 2.3 m (7 ft 6 inches) long and weighs about 13 kg. Other giant Gunnera species are found throughout the Neotropics and Hawaii.
Several small species are found in New Zealand, notably G. albocarpa, with leaves only 1–2 cm long, and also in South America, with G. magellanica having leaves 5–9 cm wide on stalks 8–15 cm long.
This genus was named after the Norwegian botanist Johann Ernst Gunnerus.
Ireland: Occasional of the west coast.[2] Clare Island, Co. Mayo.[3]
Selected species[edit]
- Gunnera albocarpa
- Gunnera arenaria
- Gunnera densiflora
- Gunnera dentata
- Gunnera flavida
- Gunnera hamiltonii
- Gunnera kauaiensis
- Gunnera magellanica
- Gunnera magnifica
- Gunnera manicata
- Gunnera masafuerae
- Gunnera monoica
- Gunnera perpensa
- Gunnera petaloïdea
- Gunnera prorepens
- Gunnera tinctoria
Cyanobacterial symbiosis[edit]
In nature, all Gunnera plants form a symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, thought to be exclusively Nostoc punctiforme. The bacteria enter the plant via glands found at the base of each leaf stalk[4] and initiate an intracellular symbiosis which is thought to provide the plant with fixed nitrogen in return for fixed carbon for the bacterium. This intracellular interaction is unique in flowering plants and may provide insights to allow the creation of novel symbioses between crop plants and cyanobacteria, allowing growth in areas lacking fixed nitrogen in the soil.
The stalks of G. tinctoria (nalcas), from Southern Chile and Argentina, are edible. Their principal use is fresh consumption, but also they are prepared in salads, liquor or marmalade. Leaves of this species are used in covering curanto (a traditional Chilean food).
Gunnera perpensa is used as a source of traditional medicine in Southern Africa.

Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, Lipstick Queen founder Poppy King reveals why she prefers spending the holidays in NYC and what's on her wish list from rag & bone…
"For Christmas Day I'm going to a party of weird and wonderful people who either choose not to be with family or can't be. They're all artists of course!
"I have lived in New York for almost 10 years and am still relieved every Christmas to be eating that meal in cold weather. In Australia we eat the same heavy Christmas fare but in 104-degree heat! It is mid-summer there and not designed for winter eating but we do it anyway and then try to go swimming after!"

Cindy Boggs is an American Council on Exercise-certified fitness professional, corporate wellness presenter and author of the award winning book, CindySays … "You Can Find Health in Your Hectic World." Her web site is www.cindysays.com.
Ever stop to wonder why January makes you sit up and take notice of your health despite the fact you hadn't given it a thought since who knows when? Well, no worries — we can all relate to this very human behavior. Remember in college pulling all-nighters before a test? Sure you do. It's just our nature not to worry until we are face-to-face with reality, and reality is never more real than at the start of a new year. That's when we are all surrounded by those who are making it known that THIS YEAR is going to be the year for health.
So, we begin a quest to eat less, move more and finally be in charge of our destiny. Great plan, and this year you pledge an eternal commitment toward a better you.
But then there are the holidays
Why must the time we are all shored up and dedicated collide with the time when everyone invites us to the best parties overflowing with great food, friends and legal beverages? It's not right, but like clockwork, it happens every year.
As December unfolds, we find ourselves shopping, baking, working and celebrating by day but later, the nightly scolding for our digressions begins. We decide it's just too difficult to be good during this time of the year so we cave and figure we'll be better later.
What if …
What if it didn't have to be impossible? What if we didn't have to make Herculean health efforts? Hmmm — maybe that could work! Below are some more December-acceptable ways and tips to help you hang in there until the New Year.
Random acts of fitness
When all is said and done, if you just focus on half of these over the course of December, you will be ahead of the game. It's up to you to get a healthy jump on the New Year and it's an easier battle to win than you imagine … so just do it!

Ford and Iroquois Counties health officials will limit tests due to a shortage of Tybersol, the product made by Sanofi-Pasteur and used to conduct tuberculosis (TB) skin tests.
According to Dee Ann Schippert, community and school health coordinator for the Ford-Iroquois Public Health Department, the agency will follow the recommendations provided by the Illinois Department of Public Health until the shortage is resolved. Only high priority groups will be tested.
"Individuals who are in contact with a person with pulmonary or laryngeal TB, persons whose immune systems are compromised and persons with symptoms suggestive of TB disease will receive Tubersol," Schippert said.

A house on Tucson's east side caught fire Monday night and reignited Tuesday morning, Rural Metro investigators told Tucson News Now.
Damage to the roof and home in the 11000 Block of E. St. James Place rendered it a total loss, Capt. Grant Cesarek said.
Firefighters responded at 7 p.m. Monday and fought a fire in the attic and on the roof before leaving Tuesday morning, Cesarek said.
The fire reignited later Tuesday morning, he said.
The home is near the intersection of East 22nd Street and South Melpomene Road.
Investigators have not determined a cause.

Getting up close and personal with Mother Nature yields big mind-body benefits. A walk in the park is a great lunchtime activity, but new reports reveal that even desk jockeys and folks with little time (or no great love for the great outdoors) can reap the rewards of a green environment with only a few plants around their workplace and in their home. But you can't pack all your green-time into a one-week vacation or a weekend excursion to the mountains; that's like having seven drinks on Saturday night. No way it's the same as having one glass of beer or wine per day! You need a little green-time every — or almost every — day to reap its amazing benefits for your brain and body.
Stronger immunity: In a Japanese study, levels of protective natural killer cells that battle viruses and some forms of cancer rose 40 percent when businessmen spent time walking in the woods. But you can get a similar immune boost from sniffing forest scents indoors. Who says you can't fool Mother Nature? (Well, really, your brain or your immune system!)
A break from worry: Getting outside when you're feeling stressed improves mood and boosts short-term memory. And if you're depressed, getting out and about makes it five times more likely you'll feel better than if you stay indoors. Combine natural scenery with exercise and you're really going to amp up your mood boosters.
More energy: Office workers feel more energetic with a green plant or two nearby, and they become more productive. Your smart move: Place some greenery where you can see it when you look up from your computer.
Higher creativity: Brain scans suggest immersing yourself in a natural scene, whether 3-D or in a picture, turns up brain activity in areas that govern pleasure and emotion. You'll feel more relaxed and balanced and improve your creativity by as much as 50 percent.
Ready to go green? Here's how: visit http://www.ocala.com/article/20130813/COLUMNISTS/130819943?template=printpicart

A bill that could change if schools start before Labor Day won't be going far this year in the General Assembly. That bill died in a Senate education committee.
The bill allows school districts to make the call when to start school, without permission of the State Board of Education.
According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, only four of the 15 committee members voted for the bill, but that vote is far different from a recent public poll conducted by VCU.
The poll found nearly 70% of parents supported the option of starting school before Labor Day.

Peppered Filets with Horseradish Cream Sauce Recipe
This beef tenderloin recipe is a family favorite that's quick and always satisfying. The creamy sauce has the perfect balance of horseradish and mustard.Marie Rizzio, Interlochen, Michigan
- 4 beef tenderloin steaks (6 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 5 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Sprinkle steaks with 1 tablespoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook steaks in 1 tablespoon butter for 4-5 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt remaining butter. Stir in the flour and remaining salt and pepper until smooth; gradually add cream. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in horseradish and mustard. Serve with steaks. Yield: 4 servings.

So did the man rent the motel room? If so, what kind of identification did he use? Or is the Glass Slipper one of those places that rents rooms by the hour--no questions asked?
on Mar 12, 2013 at 2:57 pm
Based on the yelp reviews, yeah. Very seedy.

This is one questionable story - all the actors are questionable.
Check with the police - I am curious as to the repuation of this facility - I have wondered for years as it doesn't appear very reputable and a contributor to this city.

OX5 Run: Mum on the run to say thanks to Oxford Children's hospital for helping toddler
3:00pm Saturday 1st March 2014 in News By Katriona Ormiston
AT just two years old, Max Caven has battled through six operations at the Oxford Children's Hospital.
But now the toddler is fighting fit and climbs anything he can get his hands on.
To thank doctors for their care, mum Ceri Caven, 22, of Gaydon Close, Carterton, is tackling the OX5 Run for the Headington hospital on Sunday, March 30, at Blenheim Palace.
Max was born seven weeks premature on June 30, 2011, with part of his bowel outside his body – a rare condition called Gastroschisis. As a five-hour-old baby he had surgery before a second operation at two days old to repair some damage to the organ.
Mrs Caven, said: "It was all such a blur, everything happened so quickly I can't even remember it."
After being moved from the neonatal intensive-care unit to Tom's Ward, he had four more operations within six months.
But staff put in the extra effort to get Max healthy enough for him to have his first Christmas at home with his mum and dad, Joe Caven, 23.
Over a month they taught Mrs Caven how to feed him through a tube into his stomach and he was able to leave hospital on December 21. She said: "It was exciting to have his first Christmas at home, and very overwhelming.
"That he got home just before Christmas was amazing.
"All the staff were really trying to help us get home and they were really busy at that time of year anyway.
"I'm really grateful he is here, basically, he has had so many operations and blood transfusions.
"You look at him now and wouldn't know any of it, he has no fear whatsoever – he'll climb anything, he's a happy little toddler."
His little sister, Brooke, one, was born healthily.
Mrs Caven is hoping to raise more than £250 for the hospital taking on the OX5 Run.
The run, which is organised by the Oxford Mail and sponsored by Allen Associates, last year raised £98,000 for new equipment. It is hoped this year's run will hit the £100,000 fundraising mark.
The run takes place in the grounds of Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, on Sunday, March 30, at 10.30am. Entry costs £10 and runners are asked to aim to raise £100 or more.

Let me first say We believe the Equinox is really fine, and the quality is there, everything about the ship is fine. It's the people that are causing problems with cruises, in fact all cruise lines. I'll explain.
We experienced sickness after cruise 1.
We experienced EXTREME sickness during and after cruise 2.
I will attempt to explain why We experienced sickness during both cruises. To get to the point directly, it's the people onboard ship. Not the crew, but the passengers. I have never been so shocked to see the hygene (or to the point, LACK OF) in my life. Everywhere I went I witnessed passengers licking their fingers and then using food tongs, picking up plates then retuning them after handling them, nasty manners at the drink dispensors, and awful behavior with coffee utensils. I witnessed the same cross-contamination at the breakfast brunch buffet, it was disgusting! Here lies the problem with on-board sickness- the crew tirelessly tries to clean everything because they witness the same problems, but it's a never-ending struggle to keep things sterile. I actually had a woman cough over my shoulder as I was holding a plate of food in line! I witnessed other disturbing things going on, including elevators, bathrooms, etc., but I choose not to elaborate.To sum this up, the passengers make it almost impossible to remove the risk of digestive and respiratory sickness.
Aqua class- Aqua class is first rate, the room staff are outstanding, and we still consider Aqua a good value, with 1 exception.
On our next to last night dinner at Blu, the wife accidentally spilled her glass of wine(it was extremely rough seas that night, and it was her 1st).It was embarrasing to the wife and she apologized to the foursome seated nearby, but the manager and waiter made a big deal out of consoling the 4-some, offering discounts, etc. Meanwhile the wife and I were ignored for the rest of our dinner, and the wife was not offered
another glass of wine to replace the one she had dropped, a sad situation, indeed, considering it was also formal night. Anyway, this pretty much ruined the rest of the cruise for the wife, and We did NOT return to Blu.
Excursions- We enjoyed all the excursions, except for the fact that either the guide did not speak loudly enough for the whole bus to hear, or the radio receivers did not work at all, making the excursions a poor value. Choose your excursions wisely!

A McIntosh County man indicted on murder charges after his stepson died on a hunting trip is speaking out.
Brian Gale says he was hunting with his stepson Daniel in the Buffalo Swamp in McIntosh County when they got lost.
"I was carrying him for 12 hours until I couldn't carry him anymore. It was dark, and I didn't know where I was because of the darkness," Gale said.
Gale said he made the decision to leave Daniel clinging to a tree so he could go find help.
When they returned several hours later, Daniel had drowned.
A grand jury indicted Gale for murder, involuntary manslaughter, cruelty to children, and contributing to the deprivation of a minor.
"That was a total surprise. Murder? It was not murder. I take responsibility for taking him there but that is not murder," Gale said.
Gale said that since his stepson's death, his life has been miserable. He is constantly questioning the decision he made in the swamp and he says his family is torn apart because he is separated from his wife.
Gale said all he can think about is losing the 15-year-old boy he loved like a son.
"He told me 'Brian - I'm glad you're my dad' That just sticks with me. I miss him so much," Gale said.
If Gale is convicted of felony murder, he could face an automatic life sentence.
He said he will not accept a plea deal. He admits he may not have made the right decision because of the condition he was in, he insists he is not a murderer.
"I would rather go to the gas chamber than admit I did anything to hurt him. It is just not true," Gale said.
Gale is scheduled to be arraigned in McIntosh County on June 14.

Reviews by BeerFMAndy:
4.25/5 rDev +15.8%
500 ml bottle poured into a snifter.
A - Dark amber clarity is evident through the pour, but this Baltic Porter is as dark as night in the glass, crowned by a dense mocha head, which leaves a smattering of lace on the glass.
S - Sticky caramel and toffee sweetness are further gummed up with a good helping of molasses which also carries with it bitterness and balance that suggests bittersweet chocolate. Suggestions of vanilla bean emerge as the beer warms, lingering with notes of chocolate-covered raisin.
T - Toffee, Peanut Brittle (sans the peanuts) and burnt caramel overwhelm molasses and bitter dark chocolate when this beer warms but, a blend of dark fruits with raisin and prune at the forefront finishes out on a high note.
M - Grand Imperial Porter feels heavy on the tongue, rich with maltiness but, it's chewy body isn't overbearing or cumbersome, finishing with an incredible velvety smoothness that trails off with a perfect level of acrid bitterness for balance and dryness.
O - Not a trace of alcohol is to be found in this rich and velvety Baltic Porter. Smooth from start to finish, tons of sugary sweetness develops as it warms, none of which become a burden as the dark malts and mysteriously silent hops balance the beer wonderfully.

Translucent chestnut colored with a thick off-white head that slowly sizzles down like root beer. Leaves a nice cap of foam with legs reaching up.
Aroma of dark malt and plum, some cocoa and caramel.
Flavors of rich roasted malt, caramel and toffee. Tending toward sweet, just shy of cloying. Notes of prune and plum, brown sugar, molasses and vanilla. Slight tinny finish.
Thin mouthfeel, a little slick and watery. Not much body.
Interesting flavor, but a little too sweet and slick. Not too drinkable.

Pours into a glass, with a very light brown, off white head, that dissipates like soda. Good lacing, and taste. The flavor is of dark coffee, hint of dark chocolate, and a thin malt base, which conveys some hidden sweetness, maybe fruit. This beer is excellent and I recommend it to any one whom likes strong dark beers.

Dark brown pour with a medium light brown head that thins out quickly, but hangs around for good lacing.
Aromas of sweet chocolate malt with hints of coffee, molasses and fruit. Upon first taste, sweet fruit and molasses hits the palate followed by roasty malts and finished with a tone of chocolate and coffee.
With a medium mouthful and just the right amount of carbonation, this porter is well balanced especially with the many flavors and aromas. Perfect after dinner or desert drink.

500ml bottle consumed on the banks of the McKenzie River (OR).
Opaque red-brown; very good, semi-durable tan head that leaves ample sticky lacing.
Aroma: Dark fruits; dark bread; raisins; other dark fruits. Nicely boozy.
Flavor: Follows the promise of the aroma. Moderate level of dark roasted malts flavor. Faint coffee in the aftertaste. Lightly (but perhaps too) sweet.
Feel: soft medium carbonation. Creamy smooth, medium-full body.
O: Exceptional. Perhaps even better than Zywiec.

New to my local Polish stocked mini mart. Had to try.
A: Poured near black with a hind of deep ruby at the base of the glass. Shallow fine head that didn't last long leaving a fine ring with slight lace.
S: Very slight smell of licorice and roasted malt is all I'm getting here.
T&M: Same roasted malt, Maybe some ripe fruit and hint of licorice. Very smooth and easy drinking for a big beer. Medium bodied with fine carbonation.
Although nothing stood out here, it was still an enjoyable beer that I'll go back to as I see it. Solid if not outstanding Baltic Porter.

Appearance - Pours jet black with cola brown edging. The head is a light cocoa powder brown, 2 finger thick and shows decent retention. Lacing is thin, but silky and with fair stick... then nothing after about 20 minutes.
Smell - Raisin and burnt, caramelized sugars make up the the front of the aroma. Earthy, grassy and with subtle hints of chocolate below.
Taste - Lots of sugar at the forefront. Caramel and toffee at first, then raisin finds it's niche. A touch of earthy coffee comes through faintly mid-taste, and lingers in the finish. Finishes with raisin sweetness and subtle heat.
Mouthfeel - Full-bodied with low carbonation. A touch syrupy; sticky. Finishes a bit flat.
Overall - I'd say this is a run-of-the-mill Baltic here. It's drinkable, does nothing to misrepresent the style, but there's nothing special or exciting about it. Highly doubtful I'd buy it again. Maybe a bit more sweet than it should be.

Bottle at Delaney's. Not an Imperial Porter as advertised. Black body with no head. Carbonation significant. Tad below average mouthfeel. SOurness to it, but also some roast and chocolate. Drinkable, but not very. The distributor called this a summer porter.

4.43/5 rDev +20.7%
I love this porter for the price. You really can't beat it. It was just about 3 dollars for over a pint, and so much better than any American product for the price and alcohol content.
Appearance is good, but I like it darker, but for a porter still good, and true to the style.
Smell is great. Lots of raisins and dark chocolate, with a bit of alcohol. Smells like dessert.
Taste is good, and great depending on what you are eating. I prefer salty foods with this one to get the sweet salty dichotomy.
Mouthfeel could be thicker, but it is very easy to drink.
Drinkability is quite good. It may be a bit of a sipper, but I like it that way. Nice to have a good dinner and conversation with. It is good for an hour, and that for me is perfect for a beer.
Like I said. For the price and for me this is a hard one to beat. This has become my staple celebration beer. just outclasses Boss as my dark porter obsession.

Poured into a pint glass. About a finger of tan head formed on a dark brown, almost black body. The head held solidly.
Smells of roasted malt, tinge of burnt barley, black licorice, and dry barn hay.
Milky taste, toasted barley, strong black licorice and dark chocolate. Alcohol in the breath at the end.
Texture is creamy and smooth. Low carbonation.
Extremely well made and balanced. A dark profile without left up. The licorice might be too much for some.

Strong burnt carmel, molasses, toffee notes with hints of coffee aroma and flavors. This has some aged characteristics in a positive way. Sweet with balanced bitterness.
Thick syrupy mouthfeel.
Overall a complex beer to be savored and sipped at warming temperatures to really appreciate. AVB is hidden by sweetness. Not your average porter....well done!

Pours ruby-tinged brown with a large, quickly fading head.
Nose shows roasted malt, chocolate liqueur, booze, soft vegemite.
Flavours are less roasty, much sweeter. Lots of toasty melanoidin malt and faint chocolate. Too sweet for my liking though.
Could use much more carbonation, very syrupy body.

Second bottle from Gene's. "PO.02.05.2/2" printed on the back label, your guess is as good as mine.
Poured into a tulip it generates a three finger head of tan mocha tinged foam, leaving random arcs of lacing stuck inside the glass. Eventually the foam breaks up after 5 minutes, creating a floating island of skim in the middle.
Sweet cocoa and prunes in the aroma, a little dull and oxidized, but still pretty noticeable.
Cocoa, milk sugar, prunes, chocolate syrup, malted milk balls. Smooth on the palate, light bodied with mild hints of roast. Fairly sweet, on the verge of cloying, but not overly so. Pretty good, i'd try this again but for my money Zywiec and Okocim make better porters.

4.38/5 rDev +19.3%
This is just the sort of happy accident I hope for when I try a beer I know nothing about.
Pours very dark coffee color with a generous light brown head. Smell caught my attention right away: fruity, sweet, promising.
Taste delivers straight on, with a strong, dark roasted malt flavor, like a good dark roast coffee sweetened with a generous helping of dark chocolate. It is still sweet enough that it seems right to call it an imperial porter and not a stout, as I think drier for stout.
Mouthfeel is smooth and very big. I wanted to drink this one alot quicker than I should, as the alcohol is not very noticable. The flavor is so big, though, you will get much more out of it if you sip and enjoy.

I am a fan of imperial porters and saw this one for $1.99 and couldn't pass it up. I wish I did. This beer was incredibly sweet and bitter causing me to make strange faces. It was so sweet and yet bitter at the same time, I thought I was drinking cough syrup. I probably drank 4 ounces before this beer became my first ever drain pour. Did I get a bad bottle????

Poured into a Dogfish Head pint glass. Pours a cloudy, but semi translucent dark red brown. Half finger light tan head fizzed intensely and immediately disappeared leaving a tiny ring around the glass. Unusual carbonation behavior. Aroma of toasted malt, chocolate, vanilla and an unusual earthy fruit component. Flavor follows aroma, dark toasted malt, chocolate, vanilla with a hint of coffee. Odd fruit flavor in the finish like an herbal infusion of sour cherry. Light hops in the finish. Light to medium bodied. An unusual porter, with less opacity and body than most Baltic porters, but the toastiness and cherry flavors are good for a Baltic porter. The earthy fruit flavor in the finish does not fit as well. An interesting take on the style that I'm glad I had the opportunity to taste, but somewhat off balanced.

Women's Basketball Picks Up 10 Votes in the AP Top 25
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The FGCU women's basketball team received 10 votes to rank t-35th in this week's AP Top 25 that was released on Monday, Feb. 13.
The Eagles picked up eight votes to rank No. 34 in last week's poll (Feb. 6).
In their last outing (Feb. 11), the Green and Blue defeated Atlantic Sun foe Belmont, 54-34, on Saturday night in front of 3,352 fans at Alico Arena. The win gave the Eagles at least a share of the A-Sun Regular Season title, which is the third in program history.
The Green and Blue (23-2, 15-0 A-Sun), who own the nation's third longest winning streak (15) behind Baylor (25) and Stanford (19), will return home to host second place Stetson (21-6, 12-3 A-Sun) on Saturday, Feb. 18. Tip-off is set for 7:05 p.m. and is FGCU's 'Senior Day'. FGCU defeated Stetson 59-55 on Jan. 21 in DeLand in the first meeting.
