Reviews for
Hoot : Library Edition
AudioFile Reviews 2002 December/2003 January
The loneliness of being the new kid in town, a mysterious boy, bullies of all ages, and protected miniature owls make for some familiar high jinks in Hiaasen's first novel for young readers. Someone has been sabotaging the site of Mother Paula's All-American Pancake House. Survey stakes get uprooted, alligators swim in Porta Potties, and water moccasins terrorize four rottweilers from hell. Chad Lowe narrates, as Roy Eberhardt, newly arrived in Florida from Montana, makes it his mission to save the owls. Lowe does wonders with the cast of mostly likable oddballs. We know how it will end, but in his inimitable fashion, Hiaasen has crafted a delicious screwball comedy for all ages--and Chad Lowe's performance is a hoot. S.J.H.

School Library Journal Reviews 2003 January
Gr 6-9-This is novelist Carl Hiassen's first book for young readers (Knopf, 2002). Set in Florida, an intriguing barefoot runner reminiscent in his innocence of Maniac Magee leads middle school student Roy Eberhardt on an eco-adventure that includes snakes, fish, alligators, a student protest movement, and encounters with big business and law enforcement-all in defense of a nesting site for burrowing owls. This barefoot runner remains fairly enigmatic throughout the story, never truly becoming part of the ordinary world of home, school, and community that newcomer Roy finds so limited after having experienced the majestic Montana mountains. But Roy grows to appreciate Florida by experiencing it through contact with this elusive friend whom he helps to accomplish the seemingly impossible. An interesting cast of adult and student characters is brought to life by actor Chad Lowe who uses his voice deftly to express each in clearly discernible ways. His reading is especially well-paced to assist in following and understanding the changes of setting and characters as the plot moves along in two different sequences for quite some time. It's an appealing story focusing on ecological values, giving it nice classroom potential for science tie-ins. It would also make a great book for family listening because of its timely story line, interesting animal details, lots of local color, and effective message.-Jane P.

Problems loading the mysqli extension in my local installation of PHP (with Apache)
I'm having some problems loading the mysqli extension in my local installation of PHP and am getting the "Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect()" error. I've read around a bit on the internet and have tried numerous things. First things first my current set-up is:
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit
IIS is not disabled - but this is mainly because when I went looking for it I could not find it so suspect Win 7 home premium does not come with it. In spite of this point I'm connecting to Apache through port 8080 as I could not get it working through the default port (80?)
Apache 2.2.21 (Win 32)
PHP 5.2.17 (vc6 thread safe version)
MySQL 5.5.19
My SQL seems to be running fine as I've been in and run stuff using the command line interface. Also my IDE (JetBrains PhpStorm) has a database connector to allow for control and maintenance of the DB within the IDE. This also connects up just fine and I've run some SQL scripts through the IDE.
Right then so stuff I've tried (in approximate temporal order) I restated the Apache server after each of these and have also totally re-booted the system at least once:
I followed all the instructions in Kevin Yank's book: Build Your Own Database Driven Website using PHP & MySQL (4th Edition)
Check the php.ini file in "C:\PHP"
I have the right path to the extensions folder "C:\PHP\ext"
the semi-colon in front of "extension=php_mysqli.dll" is removed
the semi-colon in front of the similarly titled "extension=php_mysql.dll" above is not removed
Run <? php phpinfo() ?>
There is no section for mysqli module.
There are 8 references to MySQL but in each case they are due to the inclusion of "C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin" in the PATH environment variable.
Under PHP Core I can see that doc_root = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs" and that extension_dir = "C:\PHP\ext". These are both the values I set in my PHP.ini file so I'm pretty sure the right one is being used. Also the loaded configuration file at the top confirms the same.
I added C:\PHP to the PATH environment variable. I can see this in phpinfo() so I know this has worked.
I heard it might be a versioning issue with libmysql.dll so I copied the version of this file from the MySQL installation (in "C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\lib") over the version in "C:\PHP". This replaced a 1 meg file with a 4 meg file, which seems like quite a movement.
I've also tried moving this file up into "C:\PHP\ext", "C:\Windows", "C:\Windows\System32" to no avail. The file is deleted from these locations now.
I've seen some old posts suggesting you need to get the connector software from MySQL rather than the bundled software with the PHP installation, however these all point to the following page http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/,which is now dead. If I go to http://www.mysql.com/downloads/ then I don't see a download option for PHP connector.
I saw another post http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/show...57#post4721657 that claimed to have fixed this issue by installing PHP 5.3. However when I go to http://windows.php.net/download/ the guidance there was to only use the vc6 versions with apache. Currently the vc6 versions are under PHP 5.2 (the PHP 5.3 versions are both vc9). As you can see above I used the thread safe version, I wasn't totally sure on the difference but on reading around I gathered it shouldn't make too much difference.
Any other thoughts on what to do (or undo) would be gratefully accepted. I really need to get this set up as it's holding up some development I need to do. I previously had the whole thing up and running on my old laptop but it died and so I'm having to get everything up and running on a new computer.

I also have a copy of libmysql.dll in the Apache /bin folder. Make sure you copy that DLL file into your Apache /bin folder. libmysql.dll is in your PHP folder and make sure you leave a copy there as well.
It's been a few years since I installed PHP locally and when I couldn't get it to work I had to make sure I had a copy of the mysql.dll in the Apache /bin folder. That solved the problem.
2) Uncomment both mysql and mysqli lines in php.ini.
3) Copy libmysql.dll from your PHP folder and paste it into your Apache /bin folder while leaving the original copy in the PHP folder.
Try that. It worked for me when I had problems. It may or may not work for you.
Also, be sure that if you IIS installed that it is disabled. You can search for ways to do that. If Windows 7 has the Services panel in Control Panel, it should be easy to find.

Thanks for the quick response. The issue is resolved (yay!) so I thought I'd post a quick summary of what happened so others alighting here might get some help.
1) I had a more thorough look for IIS.
The stuff I'd found previously told me to look in Services. Type services.msc in the Run... box off the start menu. Apparently the entry to look for is World Wide Publishing service (I'm pretty sure I was looking for I was looking for IIS or Internet Information Services previously) and then stop it. Anyway I had neither option listed when I went back and looked.
However I then found another page by Microsoft which says that IIS is not installed by default on Windows 7 Home Premium, Basic or Starter but can be switched on in Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows Features on or off (on the left hand side). I went here and IIS was there and unchecked (as expected) so I definitely do not have IIS switched on
2) Uncommented the extension=php_mysql.dll line in php.ini and restarted the apache server. No joy.
3) Copied back the original libmysql.dll file from the PHP install files and restarted the apache server and it worked!
In summary since I previously had the correct original libmysql.dll file in situ the fix that has enabled this to work (from where I was this morning) is to uncomment the extension=php_mysql.dll line in php.ini. I did not need to copy any files over to the /bin folder of Apache.
Therefore the things I have different to Kevins book in my now working set-up are:
- Added C:\PHP to the PATH environment variable
- Additionally uncommented the extension=php_mysql.dll line in php.ini
Hope this helps others facing the same issue.

Steve has taken the Paczki Eating Contest title back to FOX28. After two years of the FOX28 team losing to Rob Sparks from U93, Steve Duval came out of retirement and won the speed eating showdown.
Rob says Steve won by using his water-dipping technique, but Steve says his victory came thanks to "Macho head games."
Steve was already a paczki eating champion. He even made a SportsCenter highlight reel after winning a paczki eating contest in 2005. That was the last time he competed, though.
The Country Bake Shop in South Bend supplied the paczkis. Fresh strawberry paczkis to be exact! Craig Rumpf, owner of the bakery, says this year's eating contest was especially challenging. The paczkis were bigger this year.
The paczkis were filled with strawberry filling, topped with fresh whip cream and fresh cut strawberries, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Rumpf says he doesn't know how many calories each paczki contains, but he guesses it's the equivalent of to two meals!

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

- 1/2 cup kosher salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon juniper berries
- 1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 head of garlic, halved crosswise, plus 2 unpeeled cloves for basting
- 2 large sprigs thyme
- 1 2-inch-thick bone-in pork chop (2 ribs; about 1 1/4 lb.)
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed or vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Flaky or coarse sea salt

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add kosher salt, sugar, juniper berries, peppercorns, halved head of garlic, and 1 thyme sprig; stir to dissolve salt and sugar. Transfer to a medium bowl and add 5 cups ice cubes. Stir until brine is cool. Add pork chop; cover and chill for at least 8 and up to 12 hours.
Preheat oven to 450°. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Remove chop from brine; pat dry. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large cast-iron or other oven-proof skillet. Cook chop until beginning to brown, 3-4 minutes. Turn and cook until second side is beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Keep turning chop every 2 minutes until both sides are deep golden brown, 10-12 minutes total.
Transfer skillet to oven and roast chop, turning every 2 minutes to prevent it from browning too quickly, until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center of meat registers 135°, about 14 minutes. (Chop will continue to cook during basting and resting.)
Carefully drain fat from skillet and place over medium heat. Add butter, 2 unpeeled garlic cloves, and remaining thyme sprig; cook until butter is foamy. Carefully tip skillet and, using a large spoon, baste chop repeatedly with butter until butter is brown and smells nutty, 2-3 minutes.
Transfer pork chop to prepared rack and let rest, turning often to ensure juices are evenly distributed, for 15 minutes. Cut pork from bones, slice, and sprinkle with sea salt.

Dawson Community College Rodeo Coach Rod Paschke has been selected the 2009 Big Sky Region Rodeo Coach of the Year. This year's selection was made by the eight head coaches from the Big Sky and the Big Sky Regional Staff. Regional Director Del Nose, who is also the head rodeo coach at Northwest College in Powell, WY, commented that "Rod has done a great job with his rodeo teams and his rodeo. He is always lending a helping hand at the other college rodeos." Paschke, who is in his eighth season as the head coach of the DCC Rodeo Team, received the award at the region's final rodeo of the year, which took place in Missoula. "This is an honor well-deserved," stated Nose.
DCC cowgirl Bailee Thompson, a two-year standout in goat tying and breakaway roping, and one of six DCC student athletes to qualify for this year's College National Finals Rodeo, commented that "Rod is the definition of a 'coach.' He pushes us to do our absolute best, not only in the rodeo arena, but also in our academics. He portrays the qualities that a good coach should: he is tough with us, but is encouraging at the same time." It is clear that Rod maintains a strong and encouraging presence with his team, employing his high standards to drive his student athletes to improve. According to Thompson, "Rod once told me that he isn't perfect, but he expects perfection from his rodeo team. Even though his standards are high, you never have to hang your head around Rod. If you didn't perform well in the arena he will just pat you on the back and say, 'Oh well, that's just rodeo.'"
Whether it's a bull rider in the chute, a steer wrestler backing in the box or a goat tier about to run down the alley, Rod will be standing there to give his students a few last words of advice. He has a positive approach to coaching and will not tolerate negative attitudes from anyone on the team. Clearly, that approach has made a positive impact on more than a few cowboys and cowgirls over the years. "I will never have another coach like Rod, and I feel lucky to have been part of his college team for the last 2 years. I'm not sure if it was me or Rod that was more excited when I made the college finals! He's been a coach that has taught me a lot about rodeo and life."
Under Paschke's direction, the DCC Spring Rodeo held at Glendive's J&A Arena was recognized as Most Improved in the Big Sky Region. Unlike other rodeos in the region, DCC does not rely on a booster club or community members to run the rodeo. Rather, Paschke uses the event as a teaching tool, allowing his rodeo students to gain valuable experience working all phases of the event, from running gates and raking barrels to loading and sorting cattle. This year students from the DCC Welding Technology program contributed to the Spring Rodeo effort by welding new gates and additional bucking chutes for the arena. These improvements played a role in DCC receiving the award, which included a plaque and cash award.
Over the years, Dawson Community College rodeo has garnered a very positive reputation in the region, due to its many past individual champions and team championships. DCC competes in the Big Sky Region of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA), which is comprised of seven Montana colleges and one Wyoming college. The season consists of ten rodeos – five in the fall and five in the spring. For more information on the Dawson College Rodeo program, contact Rod Paschke at 406.377.9461. To learn more about DCC athletics, visit www.dawson.edu/athletics or call the DCC athletic department at 1.406.377.9450.

I just recently used the Masochist (1) for Tough Mudder and they performed amazingly. I had grip in some of the muddiest areas and I never lost grip on the steepest of climbs. I'm using them again for this summer's Tough Mudder. The shoes gave me no problems what so ever; unlike many, many other people on the course who's shoes were cutting them. Mine stayed in place and did not let me down at all. Best part is I washed them and they look new again. This is my 2 pair or Montrail shoes and will not be my last.

Top honors for new products that represent major technical advancements in the field of professional lighting go to High End Systems, Lee Filters, Pathway Connectivity, Rosco, and Wybron on Friday, December 7, 2001 as Entertainment Design magazine celebrates the 10th anniversary of the EDDY Awards. The 2001 EDDY Awards will be presented at John Jay College Theatre (899 10th Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets) in New York City, with an 8:30pm awards ceremony following a 7:00pm cocktail party. This special 10th anniversary EDDY event also includes six awards (both group and individual) to outstanding designers and technicians, as well as a tribute to all past winners, and a special salute to a talented group of young designers.
To recognize technical advancement in the fields of professional lighting and audio, the editors of Entertainment Design magazine work with a panel of industry experts to select a group of products that are new to the market this year. "This is a very exciting group of products that point to the future of entertainment technology," says David Johnson, editor of Entertainment Design. "This has been a very strong year in the development of lighting products, especially accessories that can be used by people in all aspects of the industry."
This year's EDDY Award-winning lighting products are:
Lighting System: High End Systems - Catalyst
The worlds of lighting design and projection design merge in this intriguing system co-developed by High End Systems and Wynne-Willson Gotellier. Designed to provide real-time control of every aspect of an image directly from a lighting console, the Catalyst™ features a periscopic orbital transmissive device that can adapt to the front of any large-venue, three-chip DLP projector, plus a software package containing a variety of moving and still imagery and gobos. Lighting designers for concerts, sporting events and other large-scale projects are drooling over this one.
Lighting Accessory I: Lee Filters - Quick Roll
Quick Roll is a time and money-saving system composed of a color filter roll already cut to standard fixture color frame widths; all users need to do is cut off what they need and they're ready to go, eliminating all that needless waste. All rolls are 25' long and are sold by the inch, up to 46" wide (standard rolls are 48" wide.) Users have a choice of over 200 colors. The panel felt that economics is the name of the game and that this product is one of those ideas of "why didn't anyone think of this before!" It really cuts down on the waste left over from cutting color for lighting fixtures.
Lighting Accessory II: Rosco - Image Pro
The ability to make full-color gobo projections available at an extremely low cost is a godsend to budget-conscious lighting designers, and the Rosco Image Pro does exactly that. Using high-resolution plastic gobos from Rosco or generated by one's own computer and ink-jet printer, the Image Pro provides truly affordable full-color projections in a matter of minutes. The panel was very impressed by the affordable way in which you can get any image that you can create into a standard ellipsoidal spotlight.
Lighting Accessory III: Wybron - Eclipse II
Designed over 40 years ago by theatre legend George Izenour, acknowledged worldwide for his superb technical expertise, but never produced commercially until now, the Eclipse II is a variable speed iris douser with linear control using a single motor with one channel of DMX. The panel really liked this iris douser and the smooth and seamless fades that can be accomplished. You know can realistically fade fixtures that use non-dimmable arc and Metal Halide sources, which are becoming more and more prevalent in lighting design today.
Software: Pathway Connectivity - Pathport Manager
The PC software companion for the Pathport DMX network, the Pathport Manager provides easy access to the features of the Pathport DMX and Ethernet control. Freely downloadable from the Pathport website, the software has an intuitive graphical interface, drag and drop functionality, and the ability to easily access all the features of the Pathport system, including input merge, node and port labeling, and backlight control. The panel could see the light at the end of the tunnel known as ACN. This software package and the Pathport system really show the way towards the future of control in the theatre.

Tsweet caramel, lightly bitter, some bready flavors, overall balance is very good and makes it very tasty
Msmooth, medium bodied, good carbonation
Da good session brew in this one, I would have it again for sure.

Minimal carbonation yet decent white foam with minimal retention. Color is well old amber Creamy-sweet nose with a big floral/lemon element. Tastes sweet, almost cloying with touches of whiskey, caramel, and sugar in the raw. Laid back but well hopped. Bitter, floral finish. Clean, drinkable, and very enjoyable. Doesnt seem to fit too well in the style but Im no Alt expert so what the hay, Ill give it the benefit of the doubt.

Purchased from Ray's Liquor's in Wauwatosa, WI. Poured into the perfect pint glass, it shows a nice amber color and a puffy white head. The aroma is malty and bready. Has a medium body and crisp mouthfeel. Toasted sweet caramel flavors with a low amount of bitterness in the finish. Good drinkability. Nothing out of the ordinary here, but tasty brew.

Pours into my glass a lightly hazy amber/red with a fizzy half inch of head and lots of active bubbles. Aromas start off with lightly toasty caramel malts. Nutty aromas alongside some fruit aspects as well. Herbal hops in the background. Pretty nice overall.
First sip brings nice caramel malt upfront along with some nutty undertones. Toasted grains flow into a nice grassy, herbal hoppiness that carries a touch of bitterness with it on the way down. Finishes clean and a bit dry.
Mouthfeel is smooth and crisp with a plenty of carbonation. An easy drinking alt that ends up being quite refreshing too. Overall, Headless Man is a tasty brew from Tyranena and one of my favorites from the regular lineup.

Pours a bright orange-amber with a head that quickly dissipates to a thin bead. Well named. Absolutely mouthwatering aroma - toasty sweet Munich malt with some hazelnut and noble hops. You don't like the smell of this I don't know what to tell you.
This is SO well integrated - just perfectly balanced between a nutty, toasty, slightly caramelly maltiness, a gentle bitterness, noble hop flavors (there's Hallertau in here somewhere)... all there, all complimenting each other. As it warms a bit of fruitiness (apricots?) and a hint of grain appears. Finishes with a toasty nutty maltiness and an earthy, slightly floral hoppiness. Medium bodied and eminently quaffable.
Not overdone in any way and all the better for it - just a solid, good tasting Alt. Thanks to BA KeffKrenner for the bottle!

Dark amber color, faint malt aroma , little or no head, slight malt sweetness along with the taste of yeast or some adjunct, rather thin on the palate. I think I had this on tap once and it was a little better, but for the time being, I'm going to pass on the bottles.

Poured into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass
Appearance: amber in color, 1/4 inch head, clear, moderate carbonation
Smell: big toasted malt, toffee, and light roasted malt--smells wonderful
Taste: Biggest taste is toasted malt with some roasted malt and earthy bitterness
Mouthfeel: medium bodied, moderate carbonation, sweet start with a slightly bitter middle and a sweet end
Overall: A solid sessionable amber. Not a beer I would go for every day, but certainly once a month. It has a wonderful combination of toasted malt and earthiness.

Clear medium amber appearance, nice head of sustainable 1/4 inch foam after about 30 seconds. Simple lace, slipping strings on the glass. Malty aroma, candied apple and malted milk with slight esters. Mouthfeel is shy of medium but sub creamy. Flavor is well-tempered and laid out, sort of unfolding like a ball of caramel rolling down a caramel hill. Looked for more hopping, just a slight sense of pepper and a nut skin sense give an impression of bittering. A very pleasant beer in drinkability, I just get more snap from some Alts and there's a bit of ragged texture here at the end of the glass that takes away from its initial smoothness.

(Served in a Nonic)
A- This beer pours a dense clear aged copper with a gentle carbonation and a thick deep beige head that turns bubble.
S- The dry woody malt has hints of woody green hops in the finish but the smell is pretty clean.
T- The watery flavor has some clean lightly toasted malt flavor with some cardboard oxidation note to follow. There is a green pine hint that lingers a bit.
M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel with a scrubbing fizz that covers some of the flavors.
O- This beer is a bit watery with some nice malt hints but also taste like it is a bit old.

I might be a little partial since this beer is brewed in Lake Mills only a couple miles from where I live. Pretty good beer. Good flavor throughout. Light head that dissipated quickly.
All of the Tyranena beers have good names, artwork and stories on the bottles and this one is no different. I enjoyed this beer and would recommend it.

12oz. stubby brown bottle with a twist off cap, purchased at one of the many beers stores we visited in Minneapolis, poured into a SA pint. No dating.
A: Pours a glowing fire amber. Decent head forms and holds a bit. Good lacing.
S: Pleasantly sweet malts, smooth a bit bready. Light, non acidic, fruits lend a bit more sweetness. Bananas, strawberries, plums.
T/M: Nice sweetness between the malts and fruits. Hops and malts are nicely balanced with a nod toward the malts. Carbonation is decently high and seems to help dry things out a bit. Body is medium and very smooth.
D: Pretty complex for a 5% brew. Drinkable and low ABV.

Pours a dark orange in color with a chunky beige head.
Nose is bready; both crusty and doughy. Some german hop grassy spice is noted.
It has a bittersweet caramel/toasted malt taste evened out with a fairly persuasive hop companionship. Slight toffee and earthy flavors accompany the mix, with a subtle edge of husky grain, almond skin and dark fruit. Smooth lagered mellowness. There's a trace of hard water, but that too is eased-off compared to other Tyranena brews (Lake Mills has notoriously hard water. While it works in harmony with bitterness in the Porter, Brown Ale, Pale Ale and IPA, its a less atractive quality in a lager or lagered ale...so it's a good thing that it is tempered here). A quick, lightly bitter, grassy hop snap closes the door.
It is quite refreshing, and easy to drink. Medium build, medium carbonation.
Quite a solid altbier. I am glad to have it around, as it is my beer of choice in just about any situation. I likely drink this more than any other single beer, as it is my "go-to" session brew.

On tap at the brewery. Amberish colour and a small head. Neutral aroma. Lots of caramel, little bitterness. Low carbonation. Not so drinkable. A tad of complexity, caramel,coffee grounds, chocolate, and some spice, but need more complexity. Good ideas not well executed.

Picked up a Tyranena "Legendary" sampler 12-pack for the 4th. Good way to try a few of their brews I've yet to try and enjoy the ones I know I love.
Pours a medium/dark amber-orange with a finger of off-white head that fades to a soapy film. Nose starts off with a blast of metallic-copper-rust, grainy malt, caramel and toasted nuts. If there's such a thing as a "Nut Bomb" this is it. Nuttier than most nut browns I've tried, along with loads of bready/caramel sweet malt and a mild hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is crisply carbonated on the tongue but silky smooth in the mouth. This is a hell of a drinker - plenty of flavor, light-bodied, refreshing. Again, this beer is nut-rageous, so if that's not your thing, well, you've been warned. Otherwise, seek this one out. Another winner from Lake Mills.

Clean amber, with full head (contrary to the name, hah!). Nice bicycle-spoke lacing.
Nose is buttery bread, biscuity. Very nice.
Taste is smooth toast and honey. Sweet and malty, but not overbearingly so.
Overall, I give this one props as a fine session ale, enjoyable and well balanced.

The Headless Man pours a clear copper body with deep orange highlights beneath a creamy head of tan that holds well and leaves some very nice walls of tiny lace about the glass.
Sweetish caramelish malt is found in the nose along with a hint of leafy and grassy hops. It's very clean and welcoming.
In the mouth it's medium bodied with a gentle crispness due to a very fine, moderate carbonation.
The flavor is just a touch richer than the nose suggests, but it's basically the same. The sweetness of the malt appears at the tip of the tongue, and then it warms to reveal it's caramelish, lightly toasty, and even somewhat honeyish side. A brisk bitterness rises across the middle, and grassy and leafy hops become apparent, lingering into a long-lasting, very dry finish. It's not overly sweet up-front, and not overly bitter at the back - in fact it's balanced perfectly to reveal all of its components.
Quite enjoyable! A very clean, well-brewed ale that exemplifies the altbier style nicely. Well done!

Trying the Headless Amber Alt from Tyranena. The beer is v ery interesting....at least for me. The beer is clear rich amber in color and the decent carbonation forms a nice thin head which seems to be lacing nicely. The smell is sweet belgium malt/sugar. The taste includes an earthy zest, almost comes across with a coffee bean zest. There is definite malt and hint of sweetness. The mouthfeel is good, at 5% ABV, it has a huge flavor, and would be a good session beer if you like malty/earthy/peat/coffee tones.

Pours a rich, murky brown. Mostly hazy. The head is very lacking. Not much there and what is there doesn't last long. A bit of lace.
Not a bad scent, just not a good scent, there just isn't much there. Some standard issue malt mixed with some caramel malt. Nose is of old school hop varieties, which I guess is kind of the point. Just middle of the line.
The taste is lagerish, but with some flavor. Caramelly taste dominates with some earthy, floral hop notes. No help from the sessionable ABV level.
Mouthfeel is very smooth and almost creamy. More on the savory side than anything. Only faint bitterness deep in the swallow. No alcohol heat. Malty sweetness throughout.
It's just above average. Not really what I'm used to with this brewer, so slightly disappointing. Everything is muted.

Picked up a single at Princeton Liquors in Maple Grove for about $2. The beer has a tall light tan head with a hazy amber-red body. The flavor is akin to a typical, dry red ale with a fair share of hops. The malt provide a mild toffee and dried date. The hops quickly kick in after the malt with grapefruit and orange rind flavor that offers a nice balance to the barley. Oddly enough, the aroma remind me of a sugar cookie with dark bread notes, no hint of hops. All in all, a decent and dry amber that about as hoppy as your average pale ale, but with richer malt character. The overall feel is almost astringent with the combination of hop bitterness and dry malts, but it's otherwise very drinkable.

Got this one from Sebtije, cheers Seb! Review based on notes
Pours amber/caramel with a finger of cream colored head. Above average head retention & lacing
S: Bicuitty malt & that's it
T: Biscuitty malt & leafy hops up front. A bit of toffee & mmore leafy hops as this warms. Finishes with more biscuitty maly, leafy hops & some citrus hops, almost pulled a 4.0
Light/medium bodied with low carbonation & good balance
Drinks fairly easy, a pretty good Alt, but I expected more from these guys

12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a clear coppery amber, with a couple thick foamy fingers of shiny off-white head. There's a rich and frothy look to the retention here, leaving back robust soapy lacing that coats the sides of the glass. The aroma is grassy, with some green citric hops. Notes of caramel and bread mix in with the fruitier character here to add an earthy tanginess to the nose.
The taste is similar, being sweet and tangy up front with caramel and bread. Earthy hops initially balance this out well but then come off a bit too strong in the finish, leaving back a dry gritty bitterness that sticks in the mouth. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a sharp crispness that mostly stays easy and smooth on the palate. The overall feel definitely helps here.
I liked the mellow blend fruit and sweetness here and the body helped keep this approachable but the hop profile just seemed to come get in the way a bit too much, leaving this with an unbalanced feel overall. This is an interesting Alt for sure. I'd be willing to give it another look sometime.

text:
In this first volume of his memoirs, then-newly-qualified vet James Herriot arrives in the small Yorkshire village of Darrowby, and he has no idea what to expect. How will he get on with his new boss? The local farmers? And what will the animals think? This program is filled with hilarious and touching tales of the unpredictable Siegfried Farnon, his charming student brother, Tristan, and Herriot's first encounters with a beautiful girl named Helen.
Now as then, All Creatures Great and Small is full of humor, warmth, pathos, drama, and James Herriot's love of life. His journey across the Yorkshire dales, and his encounters with humans and dogs, cows and kittens, are lovingly told by Christopher Timothy with all the fascination, affection and joy that suffuses Dr. Herriot's works.
©1972 by James Herriot; (P)1996 by Audio Renaissance
"One of the funniest and most likeable books around." (Atlantic Monthly)
"If there is any justice, All Creatures Great and Small will become a classic of its kind....With seemingly effortless art, this man tells his stories with perfect timing and optimum scale. Many more famous authors could work for a lifetime and not achieve more flawless literary control." (Chicago Tribune Book World)
"Herriot charms because he delights in life, embraces it with sensitivity and gust, and writes with grace. All Creatures Great and Small may well be the happiest book of the year." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Comfort Listening"
Many audio books require major blocks of time in order to do the story justice. You feel obligated to listen through to a logical breaking point. One of the beauties of either reading or listening to a James Herriot book is that you can absorb it in small doses without feeling cheated by limited time. Although more is clearly better and over the three volumes you ultimately become as devoted to the people in his life as he was, you can still listen to the tales in the individual segments and feel fulfilled by each. Especially with a reader as good as this one, the listener does not have to put forth a lot of effort to maintain focus.
For these reasons, this is an audio book that I would highly recommend for someone who is in ill health or is hospitalized. The tales are life affirming, listening is undemanding, and the experiences of a Herriot book are as psycolgically nourishing as the best "comfort food."
"More Than Just Animal Stories"
James Herriot is a gifted story teller. I was given these books to read as a child and loved them dearly. On a whim I downloaded this book and was surprised at the sophistication of the writing and the depth Herriot brings to a story. These books are not just for fans of the animal story genre, a category of books I grew out of around 9 years old. These stories are rich with the lives of the characters who he writes beautifully and the glimpse he gives into Yorkshire life is believable, warm and human.
The audio book is read well, and the narrator is skilled with creating different voices and accents that arn't painfully fake.
I must add a side note that I would not give this book to a child unless they have a certain amount of maturity regarding biology and the lightly crass speech of some of the farmer characters. I grew up in a house where my mother would apologize for saying "oh sugar!" so i can quite understand how this ended up in my hands, but I'm glad it did.
I enjoyed watching the All Creatures t.v. series and then discovered the books, which were even better in Heriotts own words. Then....I discovered Audible's series and I have to say, "This is the best way to experience these wonderful stories. The reader is PERFECT, and gives incredible life to all of the tales. I love these books!!

"Old Friends are back, at their best"
This is the first of an awesome series. When I first read it, when it was on the bestseller list, the narration was done by an American. Even with that handicap, these stories made me laugh, cry, and think. They're back, and better than ever, with Christopher Timothy reading them. He excels at the voices, and well he should--having portrayed Herriott on TV. Time hasn't taken the fun out of these books, and neither has an unflattering biog of Herriott done after his death in 1995, although its author certainly tried to wreck the fun of these books. The stories bring happiness to even the most harsh experiences. The tales of failed dates with his dream girl would give heart to a man facing those struggles in these modern times. The tales of an outsider becoming an insider in an often clanish community are a pure delight. Read on, and enjoy.
"Some of My All Time Favorites!!!"
I read all of James Herriot's books several times over during the 20+ years and have never tired of them or have they been far from my mind (as a cat, dog and horse owner). I watched the BBC program as well (which was excellent). The review "Comfort Listening" says it all. My vision is now impaired and I can't really read a book anymore, so the part about them being good for someone in ill health, etc. is very accurate. If you have read these books before, you will still be as enchanted as you were the first time---and if you haven't, it will be well worth your time and your book credits to give them a try. I'm so happy that I can download the 2nd one right now and keep going!
"Terrific Stories, Outstanding Reader"
Having never read these stories I was unsure what to expect. I had no idea what I was missing. These stories by James Herriot (real name, Alf Wight) are wonderful. This review applies to all the titles in that series because I've now listened to them all. As a side note the narrator, Christopher Timothy, also stars as Herriott in the BBC series.
A 50-something who loves sci-fi, cozy mysteries, thrillers, an occasional romance, and any genre if it is a good story. And especially if it makes me laugh! No vampires or zombies though - these are NOT sci-fi!
I read James Herriot's books when they were first printed in the 70s, and loved them. I listened to the audiobooks when they came out on cassette tape in the 90s and loved them. Now I can listen to them on my iPod and I still love them! Though some call these animal stories, they are really stories of Yorkshire, people and their animals. Herriot had a gift for description and storytelling, and Christopher Timothy is the perfect narrator. I laughed and I cried. This will be a favorite that I'll come back to many times!
"Friendly animal & people story...."
I wouldn't say that; I've read all the books in this series, years ago. The audio version makes a great compliment to the printed version. Especially since the narrator is the actor who played Mr. Herriot on the beloved TV series.
The animal stories-I especially liked the stories about the small animals.
I loved his portrayal in the TV series as Dr. Herriot & his narration in this series shows he really has a deep affection for the characters & the story. I plan to purchase the entire series from Audible.
I laughed at Mrs. Pumphrey & Trickey-Woo, her spoiled peke. I teared up often at the love his patients & their owners had for each other & when there was a death.
These books are splendid for the whole family. I look forward to getting the 2nd book in the series. I can't recommend them more. I also will be looking for any more books narrated by Christopher Timothy-he is superb.
"wonderful story"
I would definitely recommend this story to a friend especially a young adult, a glimpse at life in the 30's English country of Yorkshire.
This is a wonderful story that takes you back to a simpler time. I laughed and cried as I listened, and felt so drawn into the story. James, Sigfried, and Tristan become so alive that you expect to see them at the Vet Hospital here in town. I love all the characters that live in their little town. This is a peaceful story to listen to during our hectic, intense, uber electronic age.
The beautiful descriptions of the country side and the eccentric characters that live there.

"Funny, sad, tender"
Many years ago my dad handed me a greasy book and said, "Here, read this. I think you will like it." I thought - Oh no, it is going to be a cowboy book, or something else that I could imagine my dad liking, but knowing I definitely would NOT. He worked at a steel mill, thus the grease, and he read on his breaks and his lunch hour. I dutifully took the book, trying to think of a way to get out of reading it, but instead, I was hooked by the end of the first page.
The book he gave me that day was "All Creatures Great and Small." It instantly became one of my favorites, and I subsequently devoured many of James Herriot's books. When I was able to purchase it on Audible, I hoped that the audio version would live up to my memories of when I read it years ago. I was not disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was almost like reading it the first time because of the length of time elapsed since the first reading. The only tiny little criticism I have is in Christopher Timothy's syntax. I loved his characterizations and his enthusiasm for the book, his wide array of appropriate accents, and the quality of his voice, but he has an annoying way of pausing for what I consider too long between each sentence. He speaks fast, which doesn't bother me at all, but coupled with the unusually long pauses, it started to sound like a fast yakityyakityyakityyak (silent pause) yakityyakityyakityyak (silent pause). The cadence of the reading began to be a little distracting.
Outside of that, I loved every bit of this audiobook, and even with that one annoyance, I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Like me the day my dad first gave it to me, you will not be able to keep from loving it.

SANTA CLARA — As safety Eric Reid exited the tunnel to take the field for his NFL debut, he received some words of wisdom from All-Pro defensive mate Justin Smith: "Stay back."
As in, Smith and the defensive line would do their part up front and Reid only needed to stick to his duties in the secondary. All worked well for both groups in the 49ers' season-opening victory against Green Bay.
Reid's first game as a rookie for San Francisco came against one of the league's best quarterbacks in Aaron Rodgers. Reid shined, making an interception and six tackles.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Green Bay Packers
The next task is equally tough for the first-rounder: Defending another dynamic quarterback, Russell Wilson, in the hostile, ear-piercing confines of CenturyLink Field, where Seattle's raucous fans will try to set a Guinness World Record for stadium noise Sunday night.
The 21-year-old Reid says bring it on. He lives for game day on the big stage, and hardly considers the pressure but rather sees this as an opportunity to get better and not make the same mistake twice.
"I always would like to say that I step up. That's something I always try to do, no matter what the game is," Reid said. "I'm used to the quote unquote pressure. I think pressure's what you make of it. To me, I just try to make it like any other game. It's just a football game, something I've been doing for a long time."
Coach Jim Harbaugh has been stressing improved tackling this week as his team prepares for an NFC West showdown with the Niners' biggest rival, but he was pleased with Reid's open-field tackling against the Packers — though Reid said he missed a couple of plays he would like back.
On Sunday, Harbaugh happened to follow Reid and Smith into the stadium and hear their exchange.
And the coach was pleased with Reid's adjustments on game day.
"He's been really diligent, on it from the time he got here. It's just the way he's wired," Harbaugh said. "He's not an error repeater. He takes great pride in his own personal performance and he's really smart. Ever since he's been here he's picked things up extremely fast, and it's early on."

Robert Atkins introduced the latest edition of his book ArtSpeak at the New York Public Library last night by admitting that artspeak has gotten a bad rap. "Somehow the language used for describing and discussing art has a reputation for unusual opacity, even sadism," he said.
That's the artspeak also known as International Art English, the scourge of artist's statements, press releases, and catalogues, a language so riddled with semiotic buzzwords that any potential meaning is obscured.
ArtSpeak, the book, is not like that. It's where you go to find out, quickly and clearly, what Semiotics means. Read more.

If you mean did Beth Behrs, 27, grow up with a silver spoon in her mouth, the answer is no. She elaborates, saying, "The biggest difference for me is Caroline came from a billionaire background and went to nothing. I can relate to the nothing part, to being broke, but it was hard for me to imagine what her [before] life would have been like."
Another difference is that Behrs is not a New Yorker. Rather, she was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and grew up in Marin County, California. And while Caroline attended Wharton Business School, Behrs, who has had a passion for performing since she was very young, attended the American Conservatory Theater (ACT) in San Francisco, CalArts in Valencia, California, followed by UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television.
Yet a third difference is that while Caroline is still working to make her dream come true, for Behrs, "2 Broke Girls" is her dream coming true. Read more.

What's this? Twenty years ago, an $18 million stop-motion-animated musical featuring a singing and dancing skeleton was quietly released in theaters. But the film took on a life of its own after it left cinemas and, millions of Sally dolls and Hot Topic t-shirts later, The Nightmare Before Christmas is now considered a Halloween classic.
Directed by Henry Selick and produced/co-written by Tim Burton, The Nightmare Before Christmas centers on Jack Skellington (voiced by Chris Sarandon), the de facto ruler of ghoulish Halloween Town. But he's become tired of celebrating Halloween each and every year. One day, he opens a portal to Christmas Town, and decides to switch things up a bit—kidnapping Santa Claus, and recreating the yuletide cheer in Halloween Town. Meanwhile, Jack has fallen for a rag doll named Sally (voiced by Catherine O'Hara), and wishes to free her from the clutches of her creator, the resident mad scientist Doctor Finkelstein.
Featuring eye-catching gothic design and beautiful musical numbers by Danny Elfman, the film grossed a meager $50 million when it was first released in theaters, but has made countless millions in merchandise sales since. Read more.

Lou Reed, who died yesterday at age 71, was a supreme songwriter, storyteller, and scourge of music journalists (just read Lester Bangs or listen to Reed's between-song harangues on his 1978 album Take No Prisoners). He imbued rock music with gravity, menace, and insolence. Reed sang about discovery, whether he was finding a reason or rushing on a run and feeling just like Jesus' son or turning on the radio and being saved by rock and roll. These appeals took his listeners—musicians, artists, a certain dissident Czech playwright, and countless estranged urban denizens—to places where they sought their own voices.
Some have argued that Reed's work brought the street and the literary avant-garde together, but it was more the fact that he innately understood what the two realms had in common. For Reed, it was about recognizing the humanity that resided within the strangeness, acknowledging that even in dreams there were responsibilities. Growing up, Reed listened to doo-wop even as he immersed himself in the stories of outsiders in books by Nelson Algren, Hubert Selby Jr., and John Rechy. He studied and drank at Syracuse with poet and short story writer Delmore Schwartz, to whom he would dedicate the song "European Son" and sing to in "My House" on The Blue Mask. Reed's next mentor would be Andy Warhol, who would produce the Velvet Underground and to whom Reed later paid tribute on the stirring 1990 album that reunited him with his Velvet Underground compatriot John Cale, Songs for Drella.
If Reed had done nothing but the first four albums with the Velvet Underground, that would have been more than enough for inclusion into the rock 'n' roll pantheon. Read more.

It may look like the group of 30 people sitting in UCLA Hammer Museum's Lindbrook Terrace staring intently at the Nintendo 3DSes in their laps are twiddling their thumbs, but each of them is battling foreign species, trading animals or exploring the new world of "Pokemon X and Y."
These 30 gamers participated at the "Pokemon at the Hammer" panel discussion and event last Saturday afternoon to celebrate the release of "Pokemon X and Y," battle each other and share their love of Pokemon. "Pokemon X and Y" is the most recent iteration of the Pokemon game series and was released worldwide two weeks ago.
The Pokemon panel was broadcasted live on the radio as part of the KCHUNG radio residency at the Hammer Museum. The two hosts of the KCHUNG radio show "Outbreak: Comics and More," Brent Freaney and John Martin aka "Johnnie JungleGuts", led the panel. Read More.

Photographer Carrie Mae Weems was recently chosen to receive a MacArthur Fellowship, colloquially known as MacArthur "genius grants." The highly coveted prize, given annually to around 30 individuals, is not a reward for past accomplishments, but rather a recognition of "exceptional merit and promise for continued and enhanced creative work."
Bay Area residents have the opportunity to see a comprehensive overview of the work of this renowned artist, thanks to a traveling exhibition presented by the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University. "Carrie Mae Weems: Three Decades of Photography and Video," opened Oct. 16 and is to be on view until Jan. 5.
Viewing the 100 works presented in this 30-year retrospective, it is easy to see why Weems was selected for the MacArthur Fellowship. From the inception of her career, she has managed to weave a strong sense of narrative through a variety of photographic styles, from portraiture to landscape to staged tableaux. In each series, a compelling message about race, gender and class is presented, for the most part, in a straight-forward manner utilizing black and white gelatin prints. Weems has also experimented with performance art and several of her videos are on view. Read More.

Yesterday, we lost a great man, musician and mentor to many percussionists. John Bergamo, former director of the percussion department at the California Institute of the Arts for 35 years (beginning in 1970), inspired generations of musicians who continue to make an impact on music today. I was fortunate to have attended a workshop that John taught at in 1990s and I hosted Hands On'semble at a PAS Day of Percussion at CSULB. Read More.

The dramatic, glossy black shapes in James Welling's "Gelatin Photographs" from the mid 1980s look like coal or tar or chunks of primordial ooze. Both obdurate and strangely fleshy, they are arrayed haphazardly across stark white grounds like some oily, alien sputum — or an abstract painting.
Actually, they are made of much more quotidian stuff: Jell-O, dyed black with ink. These mysterious images appear in Welling's current retrospective at the Hammer Museum. On view through Jan. 12, it surveys 35 years of photographic work in which nothing is ever just Jell-O.
That slippery sweet is made from gelatin, which is also the substance applied to film or paper to hold a traditional photographic image. The title "Gelatin Photographs" is therefore both descriptive and redundant. All traditional photographs are gelatin photographs. Read More.

East Lancashire businesses urged to avoid New Year floods
6:00am Wednesday 19th December 2012 in News
WATER bosses are urging East Lancashire businesses to avoid the misery of mopping up a wet and washed-out new year.
Every year many small businesses shut up shop as festive temperatures plunge, only to find themselves returning to work to face a flood of water, rather than a flood of customers.
Water company United Utilities said the vast majority of problems were due to customers' own internal pipework.
They want business owners to reduce the risk by insulating pipes, and leaving the heating on a low setting.
Other tips are to find and label your stop tap, get your pipes lagged, and have a plan in case the worst happens, including the number of a good plumber.

Celebs gathered to celebrate the new SC bag launch for Le Bon Marche and Louis Vuitton during Paris Fashion Week yesterday evening.
Dakota Fanning: The actress wore an LV Fall 2013 champagne-coloured slip dress with a lace hem, which she tried to prevent from looking like a nightie by adding a long brown coat to her look. It didn't work. Louis Vuitton 'Dramatic' sandals and a SC for Louis Vuitton clutch.
Elle Fanning: Dakota's younger sister had more success with her plaid LV Fall 2013 spaghetti-strap dress with an embellished hem. Beach waves and LV sandals completed her look.
Miranda Kerr: Carrying her new favourite bag, the LV 'Capucines' tote, the model wore a black LV dress which looks like it was returned from the 'Mad Men' costume department. While I do like the 60s secretary dress and the necklace, bag and pumps, I find the hairstyle ages her somewhat.
Sofia Coppola: The lady of the hour styled her all-white LV look with her SC for Louis Vuitton clutch, cuffs and tri-colour sandals. Effortless and chic as always.

Here's a little something to keep in mind. Just "worry about
yourself" like this little girl says to her daddy trying to drive her around.
Her name is August, and she is quite a cute character…and as you can imagine,
"worry about yourself" is
going viral on YouTube.

Born in Cedar City, Dr. Bishop graduated from Cedar City High School in 1992. With perhaps an unjustified sense of confidence, he chose to study music at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Spending hours a day locked in a small practice room with nothing but his saxophone soon proved to be too depressing, so he changed his major to humanities. Dr. Bishop graduated Magna Cum Laude from BYU in 1998 with a BA in humanities with an art history emphasis (with minors in music performance, German, and English literature). Changing scenery drastically, he then attended the University of Utah in pursuit of a master's degree in English. In 2000, Dr. Bishop graduated from that institution with an MA in English/American studies with a film emphasis under the mentorship of Thomas Sobchack.
After teaching a variety of writing and computer application courses at Southern Utah University for six years, Dr. Bishop received a PhD in American literature and film from the University of Arizona in 2009. His dissertation addressing the cultural relevance of zombie cinema--composed under the guidance of Susan White, Jerrold Hogle, and Carlos Gallego--was published by McFarland & Co., Publishers as American Zombie Gothic in 2010. He is now the English Department Chair at SUU and teaches courses in American literature, African-American literature, genre fiction, and film studies. Together with Todd Petersen, he pioneered SUU's new, interdisciplinary Film and Screen Studies minor.
Kyle is married to Rachel, the director of SUU's Arts Administration program, and they have a son named Xander and a daughter named Sydney.

PAULSTANLEY.com Report by Keith Tarrier for Paul Stanley.com Tonight in Australia on Channel 9 Paul Stanley and the house band were guests on The Footy Show. Quite a few members of the KISS ARMY AUSTRALIA were in attendance and made themselves very vocal throughout the show. George Xirocostas and myself from KAA can be seen holding KISS ARMY AUSTRALIA certificates through out the broadcast. Paul Vaugtin showed his certificate to the cameras and let the whole of Australia know the KAA was in the house. The Footy Show host Paul Vaugtin is a huge KISS fan and he asked Paul a few questions before Paul kicked off with a killer rendition of Detroit Rock City. Paul and the house band looked in top form as they got the audience up on their feet. KISS ARMY AUSTRALIA fans in attendance were, Arthur Xirocostas, Micheal Fitzpatrick, Mark McNair, Adam Walsh, Andrew Tredwell, Kaori Hashimoto, Ronda Spandeaux, and Tammy Berzac.
