Diner Reviews
You got to go to this amazing
place!! Tuck off in the AT&T Conference Center and Hotel at UT, this place is a fine dining oasis. The chef is extremely talented, the sommelier is very knowledgable and helpful, and the staff is amazing and friendly. Only a few tables having a late dinner, but the place is a great secret in the Austin dining scene. Don't miss it. They have an amazing 4 course dinner for $50, and you get to pick any 4 courses from the full menu (can be four appetizers or four main dishes, four desserts, or any possible combination... you name it!). Also available in 5 and 7 courses for a bit more. Not to be missed!"

We had an exception dinner at
Carillon. The food was spectacular and the wine that was paired with our dishes was out of this world. To top it off, the service was above and beyond. Some of the best service I have had while dining in Austin. I appreciate all that the staff did to make this an unforgettable anniversary dinner."
Dined on 8/23/2014
So glad I found this place. Took
my boyfriend here for his birthday and it was just wonderful. The staff went above and beyond to be helpful and welcoming (probably half the staff came to say happy birthday). I had the carrot risotto which was just fantastic and he had the pork belly (which he says was also excellent though as a vegetarian I can't confirm). We also had chilled soup as an amuse bouche, cheese plate, and a lovely chocolate dessert. Our host even brought us little champagne flutes just for his birthday. Highly recommended for the food alone but the staff made the experience even better."

At the suggestion of our waiter,
our table chose a four course tasting menu. We absolutely loved every dish on our table and will be back soon"
Dined on 8/15/2014
Our dining experience at Carillon
was excellent in every way. The food and drinks were superb, the entire staff (waiters, maitre'd, servers, sommilier) was attentive yet unobtrusive, and the atmosphere allowed for conversation without having to speak over an annoying din. We each decided on the four course meal. We started with the cheese plate, thai cured hamachi and an heirloom tomato salad--all were excellent. Next we shared four of their hot dishes: Mero (sea bass), New York strip steak, Madagascar Blue Prawn, and Crispy Pork Belly. All if these were delicious but the Pork Belly stood out head and shoulders above the rest. We ended with a splendid chocolate ganache."
Dined on 8/14/2014
The food was outstanding and the
service impeccable, Oscar, our waiter, described the food he was placing before us in such a manner that I could taste it. He was kind, very knowledgeable, a true gentleman, and very observant. This meal was the best fine dining experience I have had in years. It truly was a memorable experience. Our group of four left very happy. Sincere thanks to the entire team at Carillon."
Dined on 8/13/2014
Prawns were raw; $14 salads could
fit on a tablespoon -- also raw. We had to share two waiters as they were understaffed so service was slow. Desserts were variations of flans, custards, ice cream -- all mushy."
Dined on 8/9/2014
Excellent food, great cocktails
and wine, a little dead in there for a Sat night but could be a seasonal thing in Austin. Highly recommended for great food and drink in the heart of Austin."
Dined on 8/8/2014
So glad I chose to eat at the
Carillon for my wedding anniversary, every part of this restaurant exceeded my expectations. From the ambience to the service and food everything was absolutely amazing, I can't speak highly enough for my experience."
Dined on 8/7/2014
Food is excellent quality,
prepared masterfully, and presented with artistry. Wait staff was delightful, friendly, competent and attentive. Matre d was a real plus. Somolier was helpful, very knowledgeable but not obtrusive. Open kitchen concept was a special dimension - thoroughly enjoyed. Entire evening exceeded expectations. Can't wait to return."
Dined on 8/5/2014
This dining experience was the
best I have had in Austin. Who would have ever guessed? It is a well kept gem in the Austin Food industry. It is the first time I have really experienced fine dining and I have been to most of the top 10 restaurants in Austin. We spent 3 hours being catered to, and made to feel like part of a bigger family. Our waiter, the manager, the cooks and staff, all made this beautiful night the simply divine."
Dined on 8/2/2014
While visiting Austin,TX, we were
looking for a restaurant that was quiet. Carillon offered that an much more. I had my 13 yr. old daughter with me and she loves to try new things. We did the four course meal and I added the wine pairings to mine. The service was impeccable, atmosphere was quiet and subdued, which is what we wanted. If you want lively, you will need to try somewhere else. Hidden in the business conference building, not necessarily a place you would see when walking around UT campus."
Dined on 7/31/2014
The initial greeting, placement of
table, service, selections, wine, etc... were just fabulous. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and he was overwhelmed with the food presentation and taste, wine selections and service. We had a delightful evening. Thank you"
Dined on 7/25/2014
the carillon's menu is
sophisticated and ambitious but not fussy or pretentious. each dish is well executed and well presented with layers of flavor unfolding with every bite. it is always a pleasure to dine here and i've never been disappointed. given the high caliber of the staff, that will only happen if the concept of the restaurant changes."
Dined on 7/22/2014
We've been coming to Austin for
five years given our daughter attending college, and this has to be one of the best dining experiences we've had in this "foodie" city! We've already made several recommendations, and we'll be back. Ask for Table 46 (I think), in the middle of the restaurant, in view of the kitchen. Perfect spot!"
Dined on 7/19/2014
Order the Pork Belly. I've been to
the Carillon probably 3-4 times in the past year and have always had a great experience. Staff is amazing, and all food it top notch. Order the Pork Belly. It's always surprising to me that when I mention the Carillon to friends in town how many are still yet to try it. I need better friends. The place looks and feels very formal, but the entire crew working there all have wonderful personalities and combine culture with elegance. Last time, I was with a group of three and we ordered everything on the menu (all the items), and did a wine pairing. It made me feel like Columbus discovering America, or at least similar to Native Americans finding Buffalo. I enjoyed the feeling. Order the Pork Belly."
Dined on 7/19/2014
We visited the Carillon after
seeing an exhibit at The Blanton Museum. There is a scarcity of good restaurants in the immediate area. I had heard good things but I was very impressed. The service was formal and professional. The menu was short but the selections were outstanding. Even the taste profiles of the cheese plate were amazing. One of the finest meals I've had."
Dined on 7/19/2014
I took my 2 graduate research
assistants here for a thank you and a farewell. All 3 of us will remember the evening as a perfect blend of refinement, comfort, exquisite food beautifully presented, and superior wine we had never imagined existed. We decided on the 4 course dinner, with a recommendation by the wait-person to not choose desert as one of the 4, but to order one dessert for all of us to share at the end of the meal if we were still able to eat anything. So 2 of us had 1 starter and 3 mains; the other had 4 mains. Brilliant!!! The sommelier understood that we wanted a wine we would remember, not one that would just blend well with the food. Perfection there, too. And we did share a desert, with advice from a dessert expert."
Dined on 7/16/2014
French wine by the glass, ahi
tuna, prawns from Spain, fig and cheese plate and a spicy pineapple dessert from the Caribbean merged into a a fine dining experience. The half-priced, smaller portions are quite sufficient if you choose the fixed price offerings at the Carillon Room. If you're very hungry order the full entree. As always, this restaurant's service is warm, welcoming and educated as one would expect at the University of Austin. You have to go off the well-worn downtown paths in order to find the Carillon. That's a good thing. Avoid the traffic and the parking space shortage. The Carillon is elegantly tucked away at the AT&T Conference Center."
Dined on 7/15/2014
Last Saturday four of us went to
the Carillon. Although we ordered different items, all were excellent. The two bread selections were luscious. I ordered the four-course dinner and chose one from each course (salads, main, cheese, dessert). All were beautiful and delicious. Our wine, from their wine "book," was fine, as were the additional individual wines. Specifically, they offer large and small portions so you do not have to share. Their cheese plate was creative, with perfectly matching tastes. The wait staff was exceptional, including the sommelier. The ambience was perfect for an adult evening experience, and we did not have to wait for a table. Our meal was not inexpensive, but it was memorable and an excellent value."
Dined on 7/12/2014
The host was congenial, the
atmosphere one of casual elegance. The open kitchen area allowed us to watch as food was plated; that was a nice touch. I had the tasting offering with wine pairing and it was excellent. Oscar was our waiter and his recommendations were wonderful. My husband had the New York Strip, which was fabulous. The service was consistent, non-intrusive, and relaxed. This was an amazing dining experience for us."
Dined on 7/11/2014
Husband and I had one of the best
meals we have had in the past 10 years. Service was wonderful, excellent wine list and sommelier, 4 course dinner allowed us try a variety of choices. The attention to detail on every level is very impressive. We highly recommend this restaurant and are looking forward to returning soon."
Dined on 7/9/2014
We loved the whole experience. We
went for my partner's birthday. The Host asked if the evening was a special occasion and upon learning about the birthday, poured a glass of complimentary champagne for us We selected the 4-course and relied on the waiter for suggestions. He asked questions about our preferences and allergies. We had 8 courses to choose, and with his help, they were all fantastic! Ahi crudo, Grilled quail, mero, carrot risoto, scallops, a cheese plate with 3 excellent cheeses and 2 desserts a pineapple something with basil sorbet, and a goat cheese croquette! YUMMY!! The entire evening was wonderful, food was great, staff was very attentive but not intrusive. We will definitely return."
Dined on 7/8/2014
From the greeting, to the last
bite the experience all in all was great! Love the open kitchen!! Plating was nice, and food tasted amazing! Hamachi was my favorite!! The server was a little pushy when we didn't order two entrees, I understand upsaling but we were there for a lite dinner! He was still friendly thou!"
Dined on 6/28/2014
Not to be snarky about Texas, but
we were astonished by the quality and presentation of the food here, the friendly, attentive service, the understated elegance of the room, the civilized ambiance, and the soothing peace and quiet of the entire experience. If you are heading to Austin and love excellent, imaginative food, go to Carillon."
Dined on 6/27/2014
We love going to Carillon for a
special event, birthdays, anniversaries. Always enjoyable, food wonderful and staff special."
Dined on 6/24/2014
I typically think of restaurants
inside hotels as being predictable and uninteresting. This one is just the opposite. Amazing food done and served in a creative and interesting fashion. We were going to an event and didn't have a lot of time. The restaurant is set up with multi course options sound accommodated our needs very well. I can't wait to go back when I have more time so I can enjoy the multi course options. Certainly one of the best restaurants in Austin."
Dined on 6/21/2014
Quiet, cozy, low light, well
dressed serve staff, well trained serve staff, delicious food, well timed food service, wonderful wine selection… I could not have been happier! The chef is creative employing flavor combinations that make your tastebuds dance. Have already recommended to several friends."
Dined on 6/13/2014
Every dish our table ordered was
delicious! We all had the four course tasting and chose a variety of dishes so that we could try a lot of things on the menu and none of the dishes disappointed. The service was fantastic. They all worked as a team to cater to us and make sure we had a memorable dining experience. The chef even sent out a complementary amuse bouche which was a perfect start to the dinner. It was a delicious cucumber avocado soup that was a perfect setup for the food that was to come. Highly recommended"
Dined on 6/7/2014
After readings reviews i went to
the restaurant for the first time with friends. To begin with, we had a party with a small child. The waitstaff was wonderful with the child and incredibly accommodating. Now on the the food. We did the multi-course option which lets you select multiple options from across the menu. The food was all great. The Thai Cured Hamachi was spectacular. I wish I had ordered four courses of just that. I would highly recommend this as a place to take someone who is picky about service and food."
Dined on 6/6/2014
Furnishings were like the food:
unusual, functional, understated. Wine list was daunting until the author of said same offered his assistance. Great wine with very creatively constructed, meticulously prepared and served food selections. Pace of service was just a tad slower than expected but this may have been by design to support an unhurried special event."
Dined on 6/6/2014
The entire experience at The
Carillon was exceptional. From the time we were greeted and seated by maître d John to our final sip of coffee, we were treated to excellent service by the entire staff and our server Carolyn. Chef Watkins' menu concept and execution of the dishes by the kitchen was delicious. The Carillon and the staff are great. We'll be back."
Dined on 6/6/2014
Incredible service, superb food
and top notch cocktails. We all got the prefix choose 4 dishes for $50 and shared. I don't think any of us had a bad bite of food all night. The staff (from the maître de to the waiter to the food runners) was just amazing. Very knowledgable and attentive without being annoying. Professionals. We will definitely be back for a special occasion in the future. "
Dined on 6/6/2014
Our son made a reservation for us
as we are new to Austin. We were celebrating our anniversary and he made it extra special with this reservation! The food was wonderful! We would recommend to anyone looking for great food and enjoyable dining experience!"
Dined on 6/6/2014
I love this place! We opted for
the four course meal and were not disappointed! It was the perfect amount of food even though the waiter said the courses are small. The pork belly was unbelievable and the New York strip was amazing! Dessert was on an entirely different level than the already excellent entree. I ordered the chocolate ganache which was covered with a layer of peppermint and chocolate rocks. I will definitely return to his hidden gem of a restaurant. "
Dined on 6/4/2014
Our waiter, Eric, was amazing at
helping us with the food selections! He was very knowledgeable and gave us the best advice for the wonderful pairing of foods! It was a beautiful evening for the best food and the best service we have had in a long time!"
Dined on 6/4/2014
No doubt one of, if not the best
dining experiences I have ever had. I would have to think long and hard to recall something that wasn't absolutely perfect. I did the four course meal, starting with grilled romaine which was fabulous. Followed that with the Steak Tartar, then moved on to the Meso which was an excellent Sea Bass dish and then tried the Lamb chops. For desert, I had a goat cheese croquet with Sorbet -- I'm not much of a desert person, but this was really mild and not too sweet which was very enjoyable to me. The waiters were great, so very considerate and knowledgeable and the atmosphere was delightful, very nice for a special evening with whomever you are there with. I can not recommend The Carillon enough. Please go! "
Dined on 5/29/2014
This was our first time at
Carillon and it was outstanding. The service we received from Oscar and the maitre d was excellent. The maitre d came and talked to us after the meal and when he found out that my husband's birthday was in a few weeks he poured us each a glass of champagne. The interior is so tastefully done, with a real sense of history. The food was really top notch from the Thai Hamachi to the lamb, then an excellent cheese course and chocolate ganache dessert. It was a very lovely, grown-up meal."
Dined on 5/28/2014
We really enjoyed our evening at
Carillon. The 4-course menu was perfect!"
Dined on 5/22/2014
We were very excited to try Chef
Josh Watkins' food for the first time and it did not disappoint. The flavors and textures were thoughtfully exquisite without being fussy. We will definitely be back to celebrate special occasions."

The Wichita County Juvenile Probation Department will spend
$47,000 to upgrade is camera security system, and all funds for the new system
will be pulled from within the department's budget. Safety and security are the
top priority at the Judge Arthur R. Tipps Juvenile Justice Center, according to
Chief Juvenile Probation Officer Kirk Wolfe. Today Wolfe addressed the security
system problems in front of the Wichita County Commissioners before pulling
from the money from within the department.
what our problem was today, is our recording capability has broken," said
According to Wolfe they have been trying to fix the
recording system for the last six months. Problems with the recording system
range from images freezing up, to sporadic camera changes in the recording
system. Juvenile Supervision Officer Brandon Martin said these upgrades could
help keep kids and the staff safer.
lot of times they would just freeze and lockup, then we would have to restart
the entire system and that you know takes time away from actually watching the
juveniles then a lot of times the data would just get erased and we would be
like oh what happened to all the data," said Martin.
worries that should something terrible happen, his department might be unable
to pull and provide a proper account of actions that took place within the
may show us camera one for a few seconds then all of the sudden it will bounce
to camera 100 and we didn't want it to go to camera 100 it's just kind of doing
that on its own it really has a mind of its own and so were not able to control
the recording it's just bouncing around we have 104 cameras so it bounces from
camera one to camera 104," said Wolfe.
The new
system will operate on two servers versus the seven digital recorders they
currently use. Wolf said they will also be able to block camera units from a
specific section of the building onto individual monitors instead of all cameras
being divided up onto monitors in no particular order. Excess funding for the
security system upgrade, up to $2,500, will be pulled from within the Juvenile
Probation Department budget.

Four things separate our villas from most other villas on Hilton Head Island:
1) We have contracted with a company that inspects your villa between visits to insure the villa is in top notch shape for your visit. The inspectors are not the cleaning service. They are a separate company that inspects your villa to make sure everything works properly and is clean for your arrival.
2) You automatically become a member of our Frequent Guest Club. This entitles you to the previous year's rates on ANY of our properties on every of your return visits to any of our villas, year after year. Membership starts immediately after your visit, so come back later this year or later years and get the previous year's rates.
3) A Welcome Packet that includes directions to the villa, numbers to call if you need anything during your stay, a list of over 60 Hilton Head restaurants, and more.
4) In addition to us being involved owners and available for your needs, we have a local company that will be available 24/7, just in case of emergencies during your visit. If something doesn't work properly during your stay, you call them, and they are there.
We pride ourselves in service to you. If you ever have any problems or questions, just call me on my personal cell phone, call our offices, or call our 24/7 number.

Two adults and one child are without a home tonight after a fire destroyed their home in rural Hawley. The Red Cross is assisting the family with money for clothing and food, but they are currently staying with neighbors.
The house appears to be a total loss. Four dogs survived the blaze, but the Red Cross says three more pets are missing and are presumed lost in the fire.
The family has also been provided with handmade quilts from local churches and the child has been given two Mickey Mouse dolls from Disney Company.
The State Fire Marshal is expected to be on scene on Thursday.
A rural Hawley home appears to be a total loss after a fire Wednesday afternoon. Fire fighters from Hawley, Hitterdal and Ulen are responding to the house on 43rd Avenue North.
The call came in around 1:00 p.m. Emergency responders on the scanner are reporting that the home was fully engulfed. Because of the home's location, fire crews are driving back and forth between the home and the city of Hawley to fill their tankers with water.
Plumes of smoke could be seen miles from the fire and in the city of Hawley. Valley News Team's Nicole Johnson is on scene and says the family members were not home at the time, but several dogs were on the property.
The story is still actively developing, stick with Valley News Live for updates.

How To Read a Poem
Just because it carries the name poetry, just because it s supposed to be denser and more difficult than ordinary prose, just because it s constructed with special poetic tricks, a poem can be intimidating to the reader who approaches it. Here are a few approaches and attitudes to keep in mind when you come to read a new poem.

12 ounce bottle, purchased as a single from DeCicco's in Ardsley, NY, no dating or freshness info that I could find.
Pours midnight black, dark tan head, rich and creamy. and leaving some low sheeting and minimal slippery lace.
Dense, dark chocolate, roasty malt and a hint of vanilla in the nose.
Flavorful and quite enjoyable double stout. Lots more chocolate, sweet, bitter and complex.
Super smooth over the tongue. Thick and oily. Double stout goodness.
All in all a fine stout, big and bold, but at the same time so smooth and not crushing the palate. Fine night capper

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Snifter.
Appearance: Pitch black with thick tan head. Not too much lacing left behind.
Smell: Chocolate, molasses and oats.
Taste: Once again, chocolate, molasses and oats. Mostly tastes like an Oatmeal Stout, but a little more char and coffee, as well as that semi-sweet core that all Imperial Stouts have that I can't quite explain.
Feel: Exteremely smooth and creamy. Low carbonation with a full, warming body.
Overall: Comes across as the amped up Oatmeal Stout as advertised. Quite nice.

Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams "Perfect Pint" glass. From the 2012 Beer Camp pack.
Appearance: Pours a oily and very dark black with only a slight hint of brownish amber color at the bottom of the glass. Big four finger tan head with surprisingly good retention considering the high ABV. Leaves a lot of creamy lacing around the glass.
Smell: A roasty and pretty sweet smell. Deep roasted malts with good hints of chocolate, oatmeal, coffee, burnt caramel, toast, milk, and toffee. Has some brown sugar and other burnt sugars. Smells creamy and somewhat like a mocha drink. Has a hint of smoke along with the roast bitterness. Also a very subtle hint of dark raisin and plum. Slight hint of earthy hops and alcohol. Pretty good smell.
Taste: Like the smell, although the roast bitterness and hops are much more pronounced. Dark roasted malts with notes of sweet chocolate, oatmeal, milk, caramel, toffee, biscuit, and burnt sugars. Big bitter roast notes of coffee, burnt toast, and smoke. Light undertones of dark fruit including raisin, fig, and plum. Towards the finish comes a noticeable taste of earthy hops and a little pine resin. Finishes with some alcohol heat. Tastes more like a hopped up imperial stout than a oatmeal stout, but tastes good.
Mouthfeel: Body is on the medium to heavy side with a moderate level of carbonation. Creamy, bitter, chewy, and pretty drying in the finish. A little bit boozy.
Overall: A pretty interesting and good beer. The roast is big here and the hops are vibrant for a stout. Still doesn't seem quite as a big as an imperial stout, which makes it like a cross between a oatmeal stout and imperial stout.

On tap at Aces & Ales.
Very dark brown, mostly black pour, good 3/4" tan head with good retention and decent lacing going on. Aroma, very similar to the regular stout, but more hops, more chocolate going on here.
Taste, yup, still more chocolate and hops. This really is a true double of the regular stout I'm thinking, just more alcohol, thicker malt body, chocolate, hops, just more everything, but had an added creamy element like it was 10% oats used or something slightly different.
Nice mouthfeel, alternates between the bitter hoppiness and then goes down smoov.
I really liked it.

2012 12oz bottle served in a Unibroue snifter.
A: Darker than used motor oil with only faint hints of brown near the edges under intense light. Tan head quickly reduces to a durable ring and partial top coat, but leaves some lace on the glass.
S: Dark roasted malts with hints of light smoke, oatmeal and black licorice. Slightly fruity with some spicy hops. Some alcohol esters after warming; plenty after more warming.
T: Appropriately rich dark roast grain flavors, with a light smokiness. Alcohol is well hidden. Hops add spicing and high (for style) bitterness. Some coffee in the mildly bitter, and long-lasting, aftertaste.
M: Full body with low but adequate carbonation. Very smooth. Some light harshness and warming from the alcohol.
O: Relatively subtle aroma but the flavor is plenty rich, with fine roasted grain flavors should appeal to beer geeks who enjoy dark breads.

4.05/5 rDev +4.4%
Big light brown head stay around a while and then settles into a pretty decent lacing above a what I believe is a clear super dark brown to blackish colored beer. A very think and dark color to this stout is very enticing.
Surprisingly light aroma consisting of rich dark roasted grain malt, with hint of coffee, toffee, and what seems to be burnt cherries.
Dark roasted Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate grain malts with dark roasted cherries with mocha adds to the deep dark oatmeal taste.
A slight bitterness along with the dark roasted malts appear in a dry aftertaste on this full bodied stout.
A dark roasted taste that I'm quite sure stout and porter lovers will enjoy, it's not the best of those styles but a worthy addition to the fridge.

12oz bottle poured into a snifter. Bottled June 21 2012.
A: Pours a pitch black with a 1 finger khaki tan head. Some large bubbles in the head. Cant see any light through this beer. Head is gone in a few minutes, not much lacing.
S: Chocolate, coffee and loads of dark fruits. Some heavy roasted malt. Molasses and carmel notes. Alcohol is in there too.
T: Roasted malt and a dark sweet fruity taste. Strong chocolate malts and some coffee similar to the smell. A boozy smack in the face at the end.
M: Medium bodied with low carbonation. A nice silky smooth body. Very warming from the booze.
Overall a pretty serious beer for this mix pack. Has some great flavor and is quite bold. Worth a try by any stout fan.

Looks great coming out of the bottle in to the glass. A dark jet black pour with a typical white head that stays for a bit.
The bouquet was of malt,barley, chocolate, coffee and some Asian spices.
The mouthful was big and bold as a good oatmeal stout should be. I think this one has a bit too much in the ABV.... I think a percent or two lower would have made this would rounder and totally enjoyable.
The finish to this one was big, but as I mentioned above, a little bit too much with the 9% ABV
I will have to save a few bottles when it is really Stout season

East Lancashire blood bikers in fundraising naked calendar shoot
9:31am Friday 10th January 2014 in News
A GROUP of burly bikers posed naked for a calendar to raise money for their life-saving charity.
The men, from across East Lancashire, volunteer for the North West branch of the 'blood bikes' service, which transports blood, drugs and emergency kit to hospitals.
The team hopes the calendar, on sale now, will raise funds for their service which is run purely on donations.
Fundraising manager Scott Miller said people had responded well to the calendar which sees the volunteers' naked images superimposed onto various backgrounds.
Mr Miller, who lives in Blackburn, said: "Everyone we talk to wants a copy. " To get one for £10, call Mr Miller on 01254 395552 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

At Vermont Village, we live and work near the little town of South Barre, where we buy as much of our food as we can from local farmers. We prefer food that's grown for taste, not for travel, from farmers who respect the land. So we buy apples from local farmers whenever possible and are proud to give them a fair price for their apples and help them continue to be a good steward of their orchards and the environment.
We make our applesauce the old fashioned way, cooked in small kettles, using the whole apple including the peel. There is no water or sugar added. The result is a delicious, healthy treat that you and your family can enjoy any time.
It all began in 1977 when we gathered apples from nearby homestead orchards – finding forgotten "heirlooms" in our neighboring hills and pastures. That led to the opening of three local canneries here in Vermont. These were places for local people to get their products canned, and where farmers could sell their produce to the canners who required certain items for their sauces, salsas or chutneys. This supported the growth of locally-made products and the local Vermont farmers who had a new outlet for their crops.
Today our products are sold in Co-ops, General Stores and supermarkets throughout the region and beyond and we remain dedicated to supporting and sustaining local canners and farmers as well as the land their fruits are grown on.

SA boy, 9, cultivates honey for Deep Eddy Vodka
Bo's Bees also available at Cooper's Meat Market, Bolner's Meat Co.
SAN ANTONIO - Bo Dewees, 9, has been running his Bo's Bees honey operation out of the backyard of his family home for three years, but now he's hitting the big leagues and has cut a sweet deal with Deep Eddy Vodka.
The Austin-based company's Sweet Tea Vodka says they were looking for a locally grown honey for its San Antonio bottles, and Bo's Bees seemed like a perfect fit.
Cofounder and CEO of Sweet Eddy Vodka Clayton Christopher says, "We are the only Texas vodka that uses all local ingredients from Texas, so we got real excited that there was a kid in San Antonio making honey."
Christopher says there was nothing in particular about the honey's taste, but the fact that it is locally grown naturally was the reason Bo Dewees earned the contract.
Other Texas cities have other local providers.
As for the Woodridge Elementary student, Bo admits beekeeping started off rough.
"I've been stung like 30 times," he said. But he admits the stings are less painful and less frequent today.
"It takes like a day, possibly a day and a half, to fill up the bottles and put stickers on them," Bo says of the work involved.
And that work in increasing.
Now that he's producing a couple hundred gallons of honey a year, he is expanding and will be moving the hives from his backyard to a more rural location in San Antonio.
His honey is also sold to the San Antonio Country Club, Cooper's Meat Market and Bolner's Meat Co., as well.
Bo's father, Ed Dewees, says he tries to stay out of the way and give Bo the full responsibility of the business.
Still he acknowledges, "He is nine."

Bo's Bees honey is available for purchase online, at email@example.com.

First time I'd ever heard of this band, was an article Hit Parader did on the greatest metal songs back in 1983 or so and "Lights Out" was on that list. Because of that very reason, I took a flier on this seminal hard rock act and bought the LP and I've been a UFO fan ever since. This record is as good as it gets for heavy rock in the 1970's and unfortunately almost never gets it due from mainstream music media. Produced by veteran rock vet Ron Nevison, the sound quality of 'Lights Out' added to the diversity of the material to make this their finest hour. UFO's classic lineup of Schenker, Mogg, Way, Parker and Raymond was as self-destructive and combustible as their collaboration was breathtaking. I'm fully convinced that their chemistry kept them from serious US success due to the lack of constant touring because of the volitile nature of the Schenker/Mogg relationship. "Too Hot to Handle", the title track and "Love to Love" should be on the playlist of any self-respecting classic rock station. Michael's playing is simply awesome and the group's Zepplinesque use of light and shade on "Love" particularly make the song one of rock's true epics. The slash and burn nature of "Lights Out" seem to fit the band's personality perfectly as Raymond's organ creates a foundation for the heavy riffing of Schenker, a suitable continuation of the work he did in "Rock Bottom". Phil Mogg creates another saga of the mean streets as "Too Hot" blows out of the speakers to kick off another in a string of Schenker UFO classics. This October 1977 release also featured such moody pieces as "Gettin' Ready", "Just Another Suicide", "Electric Phase (great riffing on this one too)" and the prettiest of ballads in "Try Me", that is until Michael unleashes his Flying V for the outro. One more classic to go before Schenker couldn't take it anymore, but "misty green and blue" are just some of the beautiful templates that this band created in the mid to late 1970's.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Without a doubt, Lights Out is one of the best rock albums to emerge from the fabulous '70s. Every song here is a "10+". No other band managed the beautiful use of background strings on rock songs like these legends did back in 1977. The formula was repeated in 1978 with Obsession, and then again in 1981 with the highly underrated The Wild, The Willing and The Innocent.
The fabulous UFO chemistry was at its best when they recorded this one. No need for commercial airwave success to recognize how awesome this band sounded. Arguably, this is one of the top 3 hard rock albums stemming out from real rock's most prolific era.
The cherry on the cake: The remastered sound of this edition is excellent (Note: other low quality remastered versions such as the double CDs issued by BMG are to be avoided).
This is an absolute MUST HAVE.
UFO continues to be one of the best bands of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal from the late 70's early 80's. Everything they have ever put out deserves a listen. But Lights Out is the album that started it all. Song for song one of their strongest albums. This has a song for everybody, from the rip roaring guitars of Too Hot to Handle to the tear jerker ballad Try Me to the power ballad Love to Love. And the title track Lights Out is their signature song. Every collection should include this album.
This is all record is UFO at their peak. UFO was a band that sadly got swept aside in the '80's, when peers like Scorpions and Judas Priest were getting their kudos for influencing the the NWOBHM. Look around though, and you can hear UFO in both Maiden and Leppard. Meanwhile, Phil Mogg had only one rival as a lyricist working in the hard work milieu – Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy, (whose shortfall on the ladder of success is a injustice even greater than that of UFO.) Mogg had a much more mature approach to his writing – examine his take of the burgeoning punk scene and its excesses in the East End of London on "Lights Out", or the mental approach of "Gettin' Ready". These were no dragons and kings flights of fancy, a la Ronnie James Dio. There was gritty realistic look at everyday life in Mogg's lyrics. Meanwhile, Michael Schenker was simply the best guiatrist on the hard rock scene pre-VH. Lights Out is a great starter album for anyone looking to dip their toes in the UFO pool.
According to the liner notes, UFO was in its death throes as a band when they recorded "Lights Out" in 1977, and that all the angst the band felt contributed to the unusual power of this CD. I'm not sure I buy that reasoning, but there is no question this band had power, and that this CD was their masterpiece. With German guitar master Michael Schenker at full stride and under the guidance of legendary producer Ron Nevison, this is a must-buy for any fan of '70s British heavy metal. It starts off with "Too Hot to Handle", a minor radio hit and a pure exercise in guitar power and ends with the beautiful "Love to Love" (Misty Green and Blue), another minor radio hit ("minor" hits were all this band could muster up, but that's not necessarily a bad thing) and featuring a string section in addition to the guitars. Other good tracks are the title track, "Getting Ready" and the ballad "Try Me" (yes, every album had to have a ballad in those days). Personal differences and, supposedly, extreme hedonism, tore this band apart after "Lights Out" but Schenker has reappeared with his own band (saw them in concert last year, and they looked good) and the music plays on. If you like Deep Purple, you should like UFO.

SAN FRANCISCO -- With the Giants deciding to keep rookie Hector Sanchez as their backup catcher, veteran Chris Stewart was dealt to the Yankees and will open the season on their roster instead.In exchange for Stewart, the Giants received right-handed pitcher George Kontos, who was reassigned to the Yankees' Minor League camp on March 20 and is expected to begin the season with Triple-A Fresno. Kontos, 26, went 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA in five Spring Training contests with the Yankees. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound right-hander was a fifth-round pick in 2006 and has gone 25-33 with a 3.33 ERA in 137 games, including 77 starts, during his Minor League career. Kontos made his Major League debut last Sept. 10 and wound up allowing two runs in six innings over seven appearances. The Northwestern University product went 4-4 with a 2.62 ERA in 40 games, including four starts, with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season, posting 91 strikeouts while walking just 26. Stewart, 30, joined the Giants last May after Buster Posey went down with his season-ending leg injury. Stewart batted .204 in 162 at-bats with three homers and 10 RBIs in 2011 and then batted .229 in 18 games this spring.
"Stew did a great job for us last year," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We lost Buster and Stew and [Eli Whiteside], we ham-and-egged it with those two. He stayed at first base for a while, but he did a great job with the pitching staff, he's a great thrower and he really did a lot to contribute to our club last year. I thanked him for that."
Building stamina, Zito faces Minor Leaguers
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Tweaking his pitching delivery yet again, Giants left-hander Barry Zito worked six innings Wednesday against a collection of Minor Leaguers to build stamina for his scheduled start Monday at Colorado.Zito, who allowed two runs, had lasted only 5 1/3 innings in his final two Cactus League outings. He also allowed 10 runs and 16 hits while walking five in those games. That combination prompted the Giants to create an environment which would guarantee extended activity for Zito, such as Wednesday's intrasquad affair. Zito also made a slight adjustment in his motion, keeping his weight back over the pitching rubber before driving forward.
"It allows my arm to get through more," Zito said. As a result, Zito believed he had better command of his fastball, which he needs to complement his breaking pitches.Zito also welcomed the opportunity to face farmhands from the lower rungs of the Minors.
"It's good to pitch against these guys because they're really aggressive," Zito said. "So you mix all your pitches well."Another Major Leaguer participating in this game was second baseman Freddy Sanchez, who will begin the season on the disabled list while continuing to recover from a dislocated right shoulder. This marked Sanchez's third appearance of the spring on defense. Though Sanchez wasn't tested by any overly challenging plays, he said, "It's coming along. Hopefully, the more reps I get out there, the quicker I can get back."

Giants, city unveil Mission Rock project plans
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants and the city of San Francisco have unveiled plans for Mission Rock, a proposed 27-acre project that will bring residential and office buildings as well as entertainment and public space to the area directly south of AT&T Park.Mayor Ed Lee made the announcement about the project in conjunction with the Giants and the Port of San Francisco at a Wednesday news conference at the site, which is currently identified as Seawall Lot 337 and Pier 48. "Mission Rock will be one of the largest urban mixed use projects in America and will become an enormous economic boost for our city," said Mayor Lee. "It will create thousands of construction and permanent jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenues while creating much-needed housing and open space for a growing neighborhood and office space for companies starting or expanding in San Francisco." The Mission Rock proposal was submitted by the Giants and the Cordish Companies and will include eight acres of open space along with waterfront residences, shops, restaurants and a refurbished pier. There is 3.5 million square feet of development space planned for the site, which will bring an estimated thousands of construction jobs over the next several years and 7,000 permanent jobs upon completion. "The San Francisco Giants and our partners at The Cordish Companies have been working over the past 18 months to refine and fully develop plans for the Mission Rock Project, and we are thrilled to be entering into the next stage of development," said San Francisco Giants CEO and President Larry Baer.
