Close Slide-to-top Accordion from Codrops
I've built a Wordpress site using Codrops Slide-to-top Accordion.
My content is pretty long so if you want to close the accordion you have to scroll all the way up again to the header of that post.
I choose the one that had more than one open accordion because of height-calculation didn't work on iPhone.
How can I make so click anywhere on the content also would close the accordion? Or a close-button at the end of the post?
View my test site
Thanks in advance!

Personally, I wouldn't recommend a script like that, for a few reasons:
- it makes the page very slow to load, so visitors may give up and leave
- the functionality is a bit confusing, and it's not clear where to click to get to the content
Just saying ...

Hi there,
I agree with what Ralph says, but if you want to make this work how you describe, I can help you.
So that I don't have to wade through your code and work out what's where, it would be good if you could make a minimal test page with a two-panel accordion on it (strip out all the unnecessary styles, content, JS etc) .
Let me know when you've done that and we'll take it from there.

Give me a good auction or a flea market, and I'm on the hunt for that "surprise" purchase — something I probably don't need but would love to find.
One such surprise ended up at the bottom of a box of odds and ends. It must have been a purchase I made a long time ago, because when I found the box in the closet, I didn't think it was mine. Then one item caught my eye.
It's a 1950-51 fire and emergency directory for Plattsburg, no "h." Businesses were solicited to pay a certain price to have their names and other information listed on the 7-by-14-inch cardboard. The advantage being you were advertising your business and perhaps saving somebody's life with the emergency numbers.
According to the directory, there were fire-alarm boxes in the city. Each one was assigned a number. Brinkerhoff and Catherine streets held box number 13; number 25 was at the corner of Margaret Street and the Lozier car plant; number 231 was at the "new" high school on Broad Street; 252 was at St. Peter's College on North Catherine Street; and 423 was at the Children's Home on Bailey Avenue.
In addition, the sidelines state: "Out of town calls shall be two courses of 2-2-2; the inhalator (what's an inhalator?) call shall be 1-2; there shall be one imaginary box at Scomotion Avenue, No. 26; … one imaginary box at the fairgrounds, No. 45; and … one imaginary box at West Cornelia Street, No. 18." Imaginary boxes? Is that for imaginary fires?
This directory was printed in the days when not too many people had telephones. Phones were identified with between one and four numbers. The way to reach some of the advertisers: L.C. Bolles Inc., 42-44 Court St., phone 121 for sales and 245 for service; The Corner Book Store, 110 Margaret St., Eastman Kodaks, supplies, films, flash-holders, bulbs, everything for photography, phone 755; R.A. Trombley, groceries, meats, fruits, manufacturer of potato chips delivered to your door, 47 Miller St., phone 577.

JMM vs Mayweather 2, How well would Marquez fair now against him?

I know everyone saw the first fight and has already made up in their minds that JMM wouldn't stand much of a chance but you have to consider all of these factors before rushing to judgment based on their previous bout:
1. Floyd moved around using his legs throughout most of the fight and is now older and tends to stay in the pocket and take more punches as a result of it.
2. Floyd is older, yeah, I know so is Marquez but inactivity by Mayweather could affect his timing and it appears to me that he is missing a lot of punches that he used to land with ease before he started taking longer breaks in between fights since getting older, plus with JMM's effective counterpunching, increased speed and power it probably wouldn't take as much to at least knock Floyd down.
3. JMM has trained correctly and it showed in his last fight and he will not be grossly outweighed like he was in their first bout.
4. I think JMM has proven now that he has the power to KO anyone at WW so he may have a slight punching power advantage over FMJr even at his advanced age.
5. Confidence (not Overconfidence), well we know who's confidence is riding higher now. JMM can go into the rematch thinking to himself "I faced the man some people said that you've been ducking for years", so with this it runs in his favor but wait, Floyd does have the win over him and is undefeated, younger, taller and the P4P Champion.
Now, I'm not saying that JMM wins in a rematch but I think he fairs far better than the first bout so don't shoot me too full of holes for suggesting this idea that he does fair better. lol
Your thoughts???

the rematch may be worse for marquez. he's slowing down and is still a counter puncher. floyd will still sit on that back foot and make him pay all day. if jmm's confidence leads him to believe he can be more aggressive with floyd, that will only play into floyds hands much the same way pacs aggressiveness played into jmm's hands. no need for the rematch and i seriously doubt marquez wants it.
guerrero will give floyd a much tougher fight. mark my words.

This past week, Melle and I attended the Commuitech Tech Leadership Conference – it was a one-day event, with Seth Godin as the featured speaker, along with a keynote address by Jeremy Gutsche of trendhunter fame and Paul Kedrosky.
The crowd was a mix of startup types, executives, marketeers from some of the big local companies, as well as a bunch of headhunter/recruiting reps. The keynotes were entertaining and they offered a few aha moments. Everyone was "just so happy" to be in the K-W area, where we don't know the word "recession".

Furcal sits with tightness in back
Shortstop exits Game 1 of doubleheader early, sits Game 2
DENVER -- Dodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal left the first game of Tuesday's day/night doubleheader against the Rockies with a stiff lower back, and was replaced in the starting lineup for the second game by Ramon Martinez.
Manager Grady Little said Furcal felt the injury in Sunday's game against Arizona.
"It tightened up late in the game today," said Little. "It's day-to-day. The guy plays through a lot of aches and pains. This just got too bad late in the game today."
Furcal went 0-for-3 on Tuesday against Jeff Francis without getting a ball out of the infield. The switch-hitting shortstop came into the game 5-for-17 against Francis. Little lifted him in the top of the seventh inning for pinch-hitter Olmedo Saenz, whose home run was the Dodgers' only run in a 3-1 loss to the Rockies.
Furcal missed the first eight games of the season while on the disabled list after spraining his left ankle in a Spring Training collision with outfielder Jason Repko. He's started all but four games since, even though the injury never completely healed.

Child Care Market Rate Survey Project: Mail Survey of Oregon Facilities, 2006
|Resource Type:
|Data Sets
|Grobe, Deana;
|Date Issued:
|Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research
|This survey was one strategy used to collect child care market price data. Comparing findings garnered from different methods allows one to evaluate whether different data collection methods produce different price findings (convergent validity) and how well these data collection methods represent the child care market (criterion-related validity). These data can also be used to explore several validity issues of concern with market price studies. The major areas of investigation in this survey include child care prices by type of care, geographic location, and price mode (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly). Other areas of investigation include capacity by age group, additional fees facilities charge, whether they care for subsidized children, and what affects the prices that they charge parents.

Aimee, thank you so much for the warmth & welcome & of course the wonderful breakfast. Leon and Errol, thank you for the cuddles. To the rest of the staff, thank you for all that you do here & for giving us the opportunity to experience it with you!" Steph and Joey, Allentown PA"This was our honeymoon, to have it in such a paradise of animal friendly veganutopia was a dream made real. Thank you for the work you do, we will support you forever!" Barbara and Eric Dragun, Astoria, NY
"We had the most amazing experience at the sanctuary! Great views, food & hospitality. It was wonderful spending time with animals & volunteering. Thank you Aimee and everyone for this fantastic experience. I will see you soon!" Roslyn Gale, Delaware
"The Guesthouse is pure heaven. The room was beautiful and the bed very comfortable. The farm is inspiring and it was great to wake up and see the animals grazing about…" Larry, Erica, and Sam, Brooklyn
"Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The breakfasts were delicious! We loved meeting the animals and we will miss Diane!" The Tan Family, Haddonfield, NJ
"Spectacular view from the front porch of the goat pasture & mountain as a backdrop. What a great way to start your day while sipping some tea and gazing out. The whole place is immaculate & I love the layout." David and Sheri, Brooklyn
The Guesthouse offers a gourmet vegan breakfast (organic and local whenever possible), restored claw foot tubs with showers, free WiFi, live rooster "alarm clocks" next door—with all of our other wonderful rescued farm animal friends just steps away. You won't believe the view from the covered porch, where you can kick back in rocking chairs and watch the sun set over the Catskill Mountains with happy animals roaming in the pastures. Volunteering on the farm during your stay is also a rewarding experience. Note that if you're allergic to cats this is not the place for you (see below).
The profits earned go directly to care for our 300+ rescued animals and help fund our advocacy work on behalf of farmed animals everywhere.
Due to some kooky IRS regulations for nonprofits you must be a member of WFAS to stay at The Guesthouse, but membership is very affordable and entitles you to other benefits which quickly offset the cost. Because membership is tax-deductible and the room isn't, they need to be separate transactions and you will need to become a member before booking the room.

The Guesthouse warmly welcomes well-behaved (only canine) companion animals on a case-by-case basis for an additional $15 per night. They must remain on leash and with their guardians on site at all times and cannot venture on to shelter grounds. All visiting dogs must also be cat-friendly as The Guesthouse is home to resident cats Errol and Leon.
You can use our online booking system to check availability or make a reservation. Alternatively, you can contact us via phone for reservation assistance or questions at (845) 679-6928 (please, no calls after 8pm).
The rooms are named after beloved farm animal friends who are no longer with us but who have inspired us deeply.

When Tony Parker broke his hand last month, he was expected to miss six weeks. In the end, he'll miss just four, which is great news to a Spurs team that's starting to round into shape.
Parker announced on his Twitter account that he will play in Tuesday's game against the Kings, and Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News confirmed the news on his twitter account. It's likely Parker will start because George Hill, Parker's replacement, will not play in the Spurs' next two games because of an ankle injury.
Parker had missed the Spurs' last 16 games. He missed 10 other games earlier in the season as he dealt with plantar fasciitis.

The Dems open with a contrast
You couldn't have scripted it better (and that's what it was, carefully scripted). The contrast between the mayor of San Antonio, Julian Castro, grandson of immigrants, child of a working-class family, and the first lady, Michelle Obama, daughter of a disabled blue-collar public employee, teling their life stories just reminded everyone about the life of that other candidate. Yeah, the one who told students to borrow money from their parents to start a business.
Castro was good because of who he is, and he's a fine speaker, and the HuffPo thinks he's been vaulted into the national spotlight, but this wasn't a speech that's going to change anyone's life. Not like the keynote eight years ago. It was good campaign speech, some nice slaps at the Republicans, and a good line: The GOP wants to take back America -- back to what and to when?
But Michelle Obama stole the show. I was listening in the car with my daughter, on the way home from her gymnastics class, and Viv -- who generally tolerates nothing on the radio except Katy Perry and Lady Gaga and Kesha and J. Lo and like that -- was actually quiet for a few minutes, and at one point asked me the same question I was asking myself:
Why isn't she the president?
But she isn't and her husband is, and we all have a lot of issues with him, and I'm not here to defend this administration. But the stark contrasts between the candidates and the conventions can't be ignored. Davey D, who's doing an awesome job of covering both conventions, talked about walking around the RNC and not seeing any black people (Colorlines looked carefully and found exactly 89) and from his perspective (and he's certainly not a Democratic synchophant) the DNC was worlds away.
By most accounts, Mitt Romney didn't get much bounce from his nomination speech, but most accounts -- that is, the national polls -- mean very little at this point. The next election will be won or lost in about six swing states, and the GOP clearly thinks it will be a "base" election, that there are enough right-wing types in those states to make the difference if they're motivated. I don't know if Obama can say or do anything that will change that.
But for those handful of undecided voters, most of whom are not rich, the Dems have a tailored message. And so far, it's working well.
non-white speakers, you don't like Romney and you think you'll vote Democrat.
I'm shocked, as I am sure is everyone else. But is that really the total depth of your analysis?
Wow, a talented Ivy League attorney wowed you with silver tongued circumlocutions, that's never happened before, what could possibly go wrong?
you sometimes bring up some thought provoking points on these threads, but it is a shame that you consistently come across as a self-righteous, know-it-all prick
Of course, these people speak from the heart, they are not acting up a storm to convince voters to re up their commission so that they can continue to perpetrate war crimes and further empower the banking elites, no not at all, they really, really care about women.
Maybe that was not so much as contrast as a lack of brightness?
The joke:
Bill and Hillary are driving around Arkansas and stop for gas. Hillary recognizes the attendant and gasps "Wow, I used to date that guy in high school".
Bill responds smugly "So I guess if you had married him you'd be hanging out around this gas station a lot nowadays".
"No", Hillary answers quickly. "If I married him then HE would have become President".
Obama's Kill List – The president claims the authority to assassinate anyone, including U.S. citizens, at any time anywhere in the world
Indefinite Detention expanded by Obama – Under Sections 1021 &102 of the NDAA, the president has the right to lock up any person, including U.S. citizens, without trial or due process.
Arbitrary Justice – The president can decide if you will be tried in a federal or military court.
Extraordinary Rendition – The Obama administration says it is not continuing the abuses of this practice under Bush, but it insists on the unfettered right to order such transfers - including the possible transfer of U.S. citizens.
Warrantless Searches – The president may now order warrantless surveillance, including a new capability to force companies and organizations to turn over information on citizens' finances, communications and associations. Obama extended this provision of the Patriot Act in 2011.
Immunity From Judicial Review – Like the Bush administration, the Obama administration has successfully pushed for immunity for companies that assist in warrantless surveillance of citizens, blocking the ability of citizens to challenge the violation of privacy.
Secret Evidence – The government now routinely uses secret evidence to detain individuals and employs secret evidence in federal and military courts.
War Crimes – When courts in countries such as Spain moved to investigate Bush officials for war crimes, the Obama administration reportedly urged foreign officials not to allow such cases to proceed, despite the fact that the United States has long claimed the same authority with regard to alleged war criminals in other countries.
The list goes on….
and definitely troubling, but, as AS points out:
"we're adding around 150,000 jobs a month over the past year, despite a huge drop in government employment. The stock market has made big gains - from around 6500 in the spring of 2009 to almost 13000 today, inflation is under control, and interest rates are at deep lows. We're out of the quagmire of Iraq and al Qaeda has been decimated. 30 million more people have potential access to health insurance."
the auto industry has been brought back from the brink, as has the US economy
Lily Ledbetter Act passed
HIV travel ban= gone
DOMA = no longer being defended
so yeah, Obama hasn't been great, but he is certainly worlds ahead of where McCain would have taken the country, as he is worlds ahead of where Romney would take it
Giving credit to Obama for continuing essentially the same policies as W is a stretch.
The U.S. is no longer the land of the free~ That's the considered opinion of GWU law professor Jonathan Turley. Does anyone care? I mean, Obama gave us health care, right? Here's what Turley has to say in an interview with the filmmaker John Cusack~
CUSACK: Does anyone care — have we just given up as a country...?
TURLEY: We appear to be in a sort of a free-fall. We have what used to be called an "imperial presidency."
CUSACK: Obama is far more of an imperial president than Bush in many ways, wouldn't you say?
TURLEY: Oh, President Obama has created an imperial presidency that would have made Richard Nixon blush. It is unbelievable.
CUSACK: And to say these things, most of the liberal community or the progressive community would say, "Turley and Cusack have lost their minds. What do they want? They want Mitt Romney to come in?"
TURLEY: The question is, "What has all of your relativistic voting and support done for you?" That is, certainly there are many people who believe –
CUSACK: Well, some of the people will say the bread-and-butter issues, "I got healthcare coverage, I got expanded healthcare coverage."
TURLEY: See, that's what I find really interesting. When I talk to people who support the administration, they usually agree with me that torture is a war crime and that the administration has blocked the investigation of alleged war crimes.
Then I ask them, "Then, morally, are you comfortable with saying, 'I know the administration is concealing war crimes, but they're really good on healthcare?'" That is what it comes down to.
The question for people to struggle with is how we ever hope to regain our moral standing and our high ground unless citizens are prepared to say, "Enough." And this is really the election where that might actually carry some weight — if people said, "Enough. We're not going to blindly support the president and be played anymore according to this blue state/red state paradigm. We're going to reconstruct instead of replicate. It might not even be a reinvented Democratic Party in the end that is a viable option. Civil libertarians are going to stand apart so that people like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama and others know that there are certain Rubicon issues that you cannot cross, and one of them happens to be civil liberty.
I would rather live as a middle class American without civil rights protections for being gay than to live as a debt peonage serf, party to gruesome war crimes with unenforced antidiscrimination laws protecting me about as much as Janet Reno protected abortion providers.
same difference
Republican National Infomercial or Democratic National Infomercial?
Which will get the bigger dead-cat-bounce?
It is all scripted (Clint Eastwood aside). A very predictable soap opera.
Obama, given his poor image. And yet he is. Which tells me that the heartland might just give us a Romney presidency, despite his "image problem".
It's a funny old country, this.
Obama has turned his back on the people who supported him and lurched hard to the right. He appointed Wall Street denizens as his top advisors such asTim Geitner of Goldman Sachs, and failed to help the "little guy" who is underwater with his/her mortgage. He has utterly failed to generate enough jobs to turn the economy around. As the Center for Economic and Policy Research points out, "150,000 jobs per month is not robust growth. The economy is down by more than 9.5 million jobs from its trend path. We need roughly 100,000 more jobs per month to keep pace with the growth of the labor force. This means that at 150,000 jobs per month, we are making up the jobs shortfall at the rate of 50,000 a month. At this pace it will take us close to 16 years to get back to the economy's trend job growth path. A rate of job creation that gets us to full employment in 2028 is not robust." And more alarmingly, Obama has done more to subvert the U.S. Constitution than his predecessor G.W. Bush could dream of. It's no wonder that people are turning away.
I don't see where Obama lurched hard to the right. If he lurched hard to the right, the Repugnants would have been happy he was there and would have passed most everything he wanted. Relative to you, maybe he's not liberal enough but anyone liberal enough for you would probably get about 4% of the vote in the US with the mainstream media we have that almost demands a president bend over backwards to prove he or she isn't too liberal.
As for your job numbers, presidents don't create jobs. That's the role of the private sector. Presidents can try to get a nation's kids educated and put $ there so they can grow up and create something (either alone or as part of co) that creates demand and economic activity. President Obama has tried to do that but has been able to get through a Republican-controlled congress (Republican-controlled because even though the Dems have had a majority in the Senate since O was in office, it takes 60 votes to get passed a R filibuster and the Dems have never had 60 votes in the Senate).
It's time to realize that if you really are progressive, the most important reason to re-elect President Obama is that whoever is P for the next 4 years will probably get to put 2 ppl on the Supreme Court. That's extremely important as was shown by GWB putting Alito and Roberts on the Court - two of the five votes in the truly disastrous Citizens United ruling that basically made outright bribery of the electorate LEGAL.
It's who a president puts on the Supreme Court that probably matters the most in any president's term in office. Romney would give us a conservative rightwing SC for the next 30 or 40 years - A TRULY SCARY THOUGHT.
Don't be stupid - work hard against the Koch Bros, Sheldon Adelson, and the other billionaires trying to use propaganda to put their man in office for their man will eliminate troublesome health regulations that hurt the profits of the oil co's like the ones the Koch Bros own and cut taxes so education can be starved of $, etc etc.
Sadly, he went for tokenism rather than substance and, by picking justices because of their gender, race and sexual orientation, it has made little difference to the outcomes.
Say what you like about Roberts but he is very smart and effective.
years ago a convention would at least get a candidate 3 or 4 points on the bounce, it was also on every TV station.
Now most people know it's all a contrived sham for both parties and tune out.
Romney got a point and so will Obama.

Single bottle (best by 04/08/10) poured into a tumbler.
Appearance: Coppery orange-red color. 1/16" persistent off-white foam across the top and some lacing is noted as I drink it down. Nice amount of bubbling coming up in the glass.
Smell: Some roasted malts with a hoppy finish.
Taste: Very nice - malt up front quickly covered by bitterness and then a toasted malt (biscuity) finish and aftertaste. Quite tasty and very balanced.
Mouthfeel: Some carbonation on the tongue, goes down quick. A little bit thick but not at all in a bad way.
Drinkability: I could easily have more than one of these - perfect for a quench of thirst, with a meal, or just enjoying.

Appearance- This one is more brownish-orange than red with a nice, off-white head that came up on an easy pour and showed some retention.
Smell The European hops and laid back grainy malts were well balanced at the nose. I found the big, sugary sweetness quite pleasant and a good compliment to the bouquet.
Taste Ah, the grain picked things up at the taste. They are very well done and heavily complimented with sugar. Theres some good Euro hopping in here as well. Its grassy and bitter and mixes well with the overall flavor profile.
Mouthfeel This one is just barely medium in the body with some live carbonation and a nice, lightly bitter finish.
Drinkability This is a nice session ale that would go down well any time of the year.
Comments Thanks to BuckeyNation for sending this GL beauty shop out my way.

Rusty, sunburst orange throughout with an otherwise nice clarity that's obscured by a gentle, yeasty haze. The head grows quickly and recedes not quite as fast; eggshell colored and fluffy as all hell, it leaves a few sheets of lacing on the glass, though they are pretty fast to run down back towards the top of the beer.
Hmm, wow, the nose is just a bit different than any other brew I've smelled before; perhaps (and most likely) because I haven't had too many Irish red ales. Malty sweet with rich caramel and buttery toffee aromas at capacity, followed up by a lighter, yet integral proportion of lightly fruity and somewhat grassy hops. Toasted malt is the key player here, and I would assume that the hops may be more aggressive when this beer is a bit fresher; I'll admit that it's just a little bit past its prime now.
Well, the nose wasn't lying; Conway's Irish Ale is a malty bomb that lays the pipe as soon as it hits your palate. Coming out a bit more robust than the aroma, the flavor smacks you with some faintly metallic caramel malts - sweet, rich, toffee-like, and toasty. Lighter bready flavors bring up the rear; somewhat buttery and toasty with a touch of burnt grains and graham cracker.
The hops are there, and even for being a touch over-the-hill, they still balance the malty sweetness nicely; a nice round of slightly floral and grassy hops roll through the flavor profile, hand-in-hand with an orange-like fruit juiciness that can't go unnoticed. Mildly bitter, enough to counteract the sweetness, but not enough to scrape any enamel away or anything like that. The finish lends a hand to some slightly nutty and woodsy, toasted malt flavors for a warm, dry finish. Thicker bodied than you'd expect with a mild stickiness that adheres to the sides of my mouth; a little cloying and teeth chattering in this respect.
One of my first of the style, I enjoyed it a bit, although I know I'd get tired of it after one bottle (much like I did this time around). The intense caramel and toffee malts are nice at first but can be a touch overwhelming after twelve ounces. Tasty brew, no doubt, but one is certainly enough for me.

My mother in-law gave me a few bottles of this on her last visit from Cleveland.
A: Poured from a 12oz bottle, it popped up a nice finger off-white head. It was creamy and instantly started to stick. Spotty lacing. The color is a nice brown red amber. Some large carbonation bubbles sit at the bottom of the glass and rise intermittently.
S: Nice simple, dry, sour malt smell. Very earthy.
T: There's a creaminess to the taste. It is woody/nutty with a slight sweetness. The finish is characteristically very dry. A gentle hop balances it out. The dryness really makes you want to keep on sipping away. There's a breadiness which is a little tantalizing because I wish it were more.
M: Light body but there is a creaminess that makes it feel more medium body. There is a medium carbonation that keeps things lively.
D: A really nice, solid ale. Man, it's nice to drink something clean and simple in these days of big and complex. It's just a good beer. Nothing more, nothing less. Another nice brew to enjoy from Great Lakes. They really know how to make beer.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #37 (Feb 2010):
Brassy orange color, clarity is there, and a healthy head, too. Apple and plum fruitiness with caramel malt fill the nose. Inviting smoothness makes you want to take sip after sip; lush medium body. Caramel runs into a veggie herbal hoppiness. Ripe fruit runs hard with apples, plum and pear. Hop bitterness is subtle but seems to have an unmovable layer in the middle. Lemon candy? The alcohol does show its strength with some warmth. Bittersweet finish.
While not sessionable compared to the more mainstream "Irish" beers, it's good to know that if you are looking for that craft beer around March 17th that has a bit more depth, this one will fill that void.

Bottle thanks to Mike B., thanks man!
Beer pours a reddish/brown hue with a short lasting head. I picked up lots of malts and toffee/carmel in the aroma. The finish improves as the beer warms as the carbonation is a little to prickly at first. Not a bad beer but nothing extraordinary.

From notes. Best by 4/12/11; consumed 3/17/11
A - Pours clear amber with two fingers of head that has pretty good retention.
S - Mostly malts a bit sweet and a bit of toasted grain.
T - Similar to smell, taste is slightly sweet malts and toasted grains. Finishes pretty clean. Pretty tasty.
M - Nice medium mouthfeel. Coats the palate without being heavy.
O - An easy drinking Irish red. I wish I had gotten a bit more hops out of this, but not bad as is.

4.74/5 rDev +24.7%
Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: The body has light amber honey color with very good clarity. On top it forms a big creamy off white colored head. The head slowly fades but hangs on well and make cool rings of lace on the glass.
Smell: The aroma is mostly sweet with hints of lightly roasted grains, bready yeast, light hops and some mild fruit notes.
Taste/Mouth Feel: Its flavor has a good solid medium body with a sweet malty character that is tempered with just enough leafy hops for some balance. There are notes of bread, light caramel malt, orange marmalade and mild hops. The palate is smooth, slightly slick and easy drinking with mellow carbonation.
Notes: I love Great Lakes and this is one of my favorites. I also converted my mother and step father to craft beer with this Irish Ale! How cool is that!!!

Pours a clear reddish amber with little head and no retention. Aroma is sweet malts with no hop character. Taste is very like iced tea with some roastiness and strawberry present. A fine beer but nothing remarkable -- I wouldn't be interested in having it again, especially when it sits next to Commodore Perry!

12 oz. bottle poured into a New Belgium snifter.
I was drinking this on draft earlier this evening and had a bottle in the beer fridge ready for tasting notes. Without being specific before opening the bottle, and working from memory, I found the drafts to be pretty tasty, with a nice balance between malts and hops. It was pretty easy to order another when the tall pint was empty.
A - 2&1/2 finger head of tight but loosely packed off-white foam that collapses quickly into pockets, leaving a cloud of foam on the surface and lace on the sides. Copper orange and clear.
S - Lightly toasted malts, soft sugars, and hints of citrus hops.
T - Very similar to the nose. Bready, toasted malts and caramels give way to a subtle but present finish of citrus hops that is nicely balanced. Toffee appears on the tongue in the finish as it warms. Yummy.
M - A tad creamy, but definitely not at all thick. Reasonable carbonation. Nice structure, although some might find it just a tad thin. Finish fades pretty quickly, leaving a memory of malts and hops on the roof of the mouth.
D - If this evening is any proof, several tall pints go down quite easily during games of trivia. Another very quaffable brew from GL. While the bottle is tasty, the drafts were even better. This is one drinkable beer.

Appearance: 12 oz bottle pours a chill hazed, ruby amber body with a tightknit, two finger beige head. Good head retention, and some sheets of lace are left on the glass.
Aroma: Floral and fruity hops mingle with malt notes of toffee and caramel.
Mouthfeel: Light medium body with medium carbonation.
Taste: Toasty and bready malts offer up a good deal of toffee and caramel sweetness, but floral European hops balance well with a moderate bitterness. Some apple peel fruitiness really hits the spot. Clean and even on the finish, with a dry and bitter hops aftertaste.
Drinkability: Probably my favorite Irish Red Ale, I prefer this one to Smithwick's. This would be an excellent session ale.

A:Deep red, nice off white head but it disappeared quickly
S: substaintial bread crust; toasted french bread; a hint of roast; toffey like sweetness in the background
T: Very warm and toasty, malty sweetness, there is a distinct raison flavor perhaps from a higher L crystal malt
M: Medium body, fairly smooth, lingers around for a while
D: Nice complex malt flavor, a little too sweet. The lingering finish brings the drinkability down some for me. Pretty good malt aroma and flavor, I just feel like it needs to dry out a little more.

Presentation: 12oz. amber bottle with the familiar GLBC black and white label. No "best by" information in the little box...
Appearance: Poured a hazy amber color. Lots of floaties suspended in mid-beer. Creamy off-white head settles to a thin layer with a fair amount of lacing on the glass.
Smell: Very malty. Sweet and bready. Slightly bitter aroma also noted.
Taste: Mostly caramel sweetness. Chewy in texture. A bit of roasted grain. The alcohol is hidden very well. Finished with a pleasant toasted nut/slightly bitter taste. Very nicely-balanced.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied and very smooth. No aftertaste.
Drinkability: Another solid offering from GLBC. Not my favorite, but it is certainly high up on my list of ambers. I gotta get my parents to buy some for me before their next road trip from the Buckeye State. A great session beer that is very drinkable. GLBC delivers again.
I raise my glass to fellow BA PhantomVoDoo for trading this to me during our last road trip to Ohio.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint. Bottle has best by date of 4/6/11.
Appearance: Rich amber with just a hint of red. Extremely thin head with almost no lacing.
Smell: Very malty, with cherry, caramel and toast. Reminds me of their Christmas Ale, without the spices.
Taste: Fantastic malt body, with cherry, toast and caramel. Hop levels are low and just provide a slight floral and spicy counterbalance. Not as much of the medicinal / metallic aftertaste that plagues so many Irish Reds.
Feel: Moderate carbonation, medium to full body, semi-dry finish. Fairly hefty for the style.
Drinkability: Probably the best Irish Red I have, although this is admittedly one of my least favorite styles. It really does remind of their Christmas Ale in many ways, but not quite at the same level of enjoyment for me.

Federal prosecutors want to delay the sentencing for a
former Mingo County
judge, according to documents filed in the U.S. Court
in the Southern District of West Virginia.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Ruby filed a motion Thursday to delay Michael Thornsbury's sentencing for at least 90 days.
A judge scheduled Thornsbury to be sentenced on January 13, 2014. The ex-judge pleaded guilty Oct.2 to conspiring to deprive a man of his constitutional rights.
Mingo County circuit judge facing federal charges)
Prosecutors think Thornsbury could provide important information relating to their investigation, according to Ruby's motion.
"The United States does not anticipate that its investigation stemming from the Defendant's cooperation will be finished by Jan. 13, 2014," Ruby wrote. "And if a sentence of incarceration is imposed on Jan. 13, it could, depending on the Defendant's report date, hinder the Defendant's ability to confer with the United States while the investigation remains ongoing."
Thornsbury also "does not oppose" the idea, according to the document.
An information filed in federal claimed Thornsbury worked with Mingo County Commissioner Dave Baisden, and Prosecutor Michael Sparks to protect the late Sheriff Eugene Crum from a federal investigation.
Sparks resigned hours before he was charged for his involvement in a similar scheme. He pleaded guilty to depriving a man of his constitutional rights in November. Baisden pleaded guilty to an unrelated corruption charge in October.

Whatever Antoinette Tuff is being paid by DeKalb County School District, it's nowhere near enough. On Aug. 20, the Lithonia, Ga. bookkeeper single-handedly prevented what easily could have ended as a ghastly school shooting.
Whilst suspect Michael Brandon Hill brought "an AK 47-style rifle and packed up nearly 500 rounds of ammunition — enough to shoot more than half the school's students," according to CBS News, Tuff's weapon of choice was love. That and above-average people skills.
The 24-minute-long 911 recording of the incident is a roller coaster. The whole drama unfolded within earshot of the receiver of Tuff's phone. The call began with an earful of the half-dozen shots which were fired in the front office of the Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy.
"He said to tell them to back off," Tuff told the dispatcher. "He doesn't want the kids. He wants the police. … He said he doesn't care if he dies. He said he's not mentally stable."
I've worked in customer service before, and I'm here to tell you she's a master. As soon as she finished discovering the issue, she began to establish common ground.
"I can help you," Tuff said to her assailant. "Do you want me to talk to them? OK, but let's see if we can work it out so you don't have to go away with them for a long time. … No, it does matter. I can let them know you're not trying to harm [us] or anything. … It's all going to be well, and they're going to talk to the police."
She then made a school-wide announcement at the behest of her captor.
"He wants to let everybody know that he's sorry," she said into the intercom. "He does not want to harm anybody. Everybody stay in place."

(PAINESVILLE, OHIO) – On Wednesday, October 12, 2005, Lake Erie College accepted the resignation of Jim Dolan, head men's basketball coach. The college has named Cliff Hunt as interim head coach. Hunt has served as assistant coach of the program in 2004-05 and helped to lead the team to a record of 15-12.
Dolan resigns after five seasons as head coach for the Storm, citing family and health considerations. During his tenure, the men's basketball team had a combined record of 51-79. Dolan was also named Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) Coach of the Year for the 2004-05 season.
"With this change coming so close to the opening of practice, we are fortunate to have Coach Hunt available to take on this leadership role. His solid background and continuity with the Storm will help to make the change an easier one," said Ken Krsolovic, director of athletics. Official practice begins on October 16 and the season begins November 18 when the Storm plays Kenyon in the Capital Classic Tournament in Columbus.
A graduate of Hiram College, Hunt was a local high school head basketball coach for 24 seasons (12 at Perry and 12 at West Geauga) with a career record of 356-194. He was named 1989 Ohio high school coach of the year by the Associated Press.
The Storm has made impressive improvements over the last few seasons, posting its first-ever winning men's basketball campaign last year. The sport began at Lake Erie College with the 1988-89 season. After a 4-6 start, last year's team advanced to the AMCC semifinals, equaling the team's furthest post-season run ever. The 12-6 AMCC record and third place finish was also "best-ever" marks for the team.
Founded in 1856, Lake Erie College is a dynamic and progressive institution of higher education offering 22 undergraduate majors and master's degrees in business administration and education. This coeducational college, grounded in the liberal arts, enrolls just over 1,000 students of all ages and is nationally recognized for its equine studies programs and international learning opportunities for students.
For more information, visit the Lake Erie College Web site at www.lec.edu or call Ken Krsolovic at 440-375-7470.

This was the first Pantera album I bought, and being a metal fan, I was very pleased with the agression that comes with the album, but when I first heard the 6th track, "Suicide Note Pt. 1″, I was amazed. This song totally described what I was (still am) going through. Being the most quiet track on the album, it was definatley the most strong and stuck out most. BUT, if you don't care about slower side to metal, don't worry, this album is packed with enough hard hitting guitars and vocals and guitar solos that should have you headbanging for more.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
I heard this morning about what happened to Dimebag, and found myself stifling tears. Its so appalling that someone could be hateful enough to destroy one of the greatest musicians of all time, and then, as if that wasn't enough, turn on the innocent and punish them. I'm actually glad they killed him.
Bob and Mark from the rock station here gave Dimebag a rightful farewell, playing Cemetary Gates in his honor. Then Beavis and Butt-head called in to give their condolences.
As for the album, its no Vulgar Display or Cowboys from Hell, but in no way is it a bad one. The best songs are the title track (great album opener, heavy as hell) The Underground in America (awesome riff, awesome lyrics, awesome solo) and Suicide Note Pt 1 (good acoustic song, the 2nd best ballad they ever did, Cemetary Gates obviously being the best). The only songs I don't really like are Suicide Note Pt 2 (WAY overdone) and Sandblasted Skin (too much distortion, can't hardly hear it).
My prayers go out to Vinnie Paul, the other members of Damage Plan, the Abbott family, and the families of everyone else who was hurt or worse during last night's tragedy. Dimebag, you are, were and will always be remembered as one of the rockinest guitar dudes ever… and you will be sorely missed.
RIP Dimebag Darrell, (…). Your fans love you.
I don't know why Amazon only lists this as a Japanese import, cause it's easily available. So this review is for the US standard release, not the picture of the album that is on the cover of this website.
And why is it their best? Even more so than the ultimate classic Vulgar Display of Power? Or the insanity of Far Beyond Driven? The one word is creativity.
Vulgar was litteraly the album that gave the band the torch to carry high as the crowning metal gods. Then their next album Far Beyond was just a little too insane being just a little too crazy and overly distorted. Sake of playing fast and mean cause they could.
Here with Great Southern Trendkill, the band got supper creative, with tinges of falseto singing, country roots swagger, and interesting songwriting and gelling such as in Suicide Note parts 1 and 2. That was almost borderline conceptual.
There is not one single bad song on this album, and in some way they are all unique and different from each other. They all stand out on their own, and have all the hallmarks of classic Pantera: ingenious murderous riffs and solos by Dimebag Darrel, Great vocals by Anselmo, Pounding groove and some good fills by Rex, and intricate drumming from Vinnie that fires like a machine gun.
'Floods' is easily the best solo I ever heard Dimebag do. Drag the Waters has that killer piercing cowbell, and what great lyrics of depravity. 13 steps marching beat, Suicide Note, WOW impressive, I could go on and on.
A must have for any Pantera fan.
All three of Pantera's previous efforts (before this) were very heavy, heavy metal albums. But on their fourth studio album, 1996's "The Great Southern Trendkill," Pantera simply went, well…bonkers!
If I had been a Pantera fan at the time, I probably would have seen this album coming. You see, I believe Pantera gradually got heavier with each release (purposely making each C.D. heavier than the one before it). So, to top 1994's "Far Beyond Driven," they pretty much had to make an album like this (super heavy). The result is "The Great Southern Trendkill," an album which is the group's craziest, most out of control, noisiest, and most dissonant affair.
The stomach-churning, tortured, constipated howling and relentless, wicked, equally-as-pissed off guitars comprise these 53 minutes of music (which I would understand if you hate at first.)
With that said, this is also Pantera's most underrated and overlooked album. That may be because it's (usually) an import; or because these songs got very little radio-play; or it might have something to do with only being allowed room for one song on Pantera's "Greatest Hits" album; or it might be because this is Pantera's most underground-sounding album. I honestly couldn't tell you the reason why, but, as any Pantera fan would tell you, "TGST" definitely needs more love from the fans.
Highlights include:
"The Great Southern Trendkill" shoots out of the gate with a heavy as f*ck metal explosion. Vocalist Phil Anselmo does some of his nastiest, most viscous yells in this song. Phil opens the C.D. straight from his gut, with a wicked bellow ("WAAAH!"). But it's after the groovy guitars in the verses and the four part zig-zag guitar solo that you really know it's on!
"War Nerve" opens with machine gun riffing. The rest of this song is pounding guitars and drums, with the exception of an occasional off-kilter guitar riff. I like the lyrics to this song, too: "F*ck the world! For all it's worth! Every inch…of planet earth!"
"Drag the Waters," the one song from this album that was included on the Greatest Hits album, has heavy chugging riffs layered on top of each other, as well as a creatively used cowbell by drummer Vinnie Paul. The chugging riffs make the verses almost slowly gallop, and Dimebag includes a mini, high-pitched guitar solo here, too (I wish it were longer!)
"13 Steps to Nowhere" has some good and fast drumming (mainly a double bass line) bubbling beneath the surface. Towards the end, Phil's staccato vocals ride the bobbing riffs well. But this song is, overall, fairly predictable. It could use a brutal breakdown, or something unexpected.
Even though it's not a good representation of Pantera, "Suicide Note Pt. 1″ is probably my favorite song on this record. This was one of the only times in his 15 years with the band that Dimebag Darrell picked up an acoustic guitar. And he was rewarded for it–this song was nominated for a Grammy. The acoustic strums (and an absence of drums and bass) give "Suicide Note" a spacey feel. And this song is also highlighted by some well-written, touching, and deeply depressing lyrics.
Track seven, "Suicide Note Pt. 2″, is the polar opposite of the track that came before it. Sometimes the guitar makes a slight "wah-wah" noise, but for the most part it is blindingly fast and brutal with scorching riffs, and a heavy, grooving and pounding breakdown. Add more of Phil's heaviest screams, and you have a song that is almost deafening.
But I hope I haven't given you the wrong impression: this C.D. doesn't sound like any other band. Aside from the turbo-charged hate in most of these songs and the acoustic ballad halfway through, the group didn't stray too far from their roots. Indeed, with nothing but more of the famous constipated howls, talented drumming, and speaker-shredding guitar playing, Pantera stick close to the cob. If you listen to this album with an open mind, you will realize this C.D. is just Pantera with maximized sound and intensity.
It may not be Pantera's best or smartest written album ever, but from the first few seconds of the first track (the title cut) to the last few seconds of the last song, it's more than clearly evident that "TGST" is one hell of a hardcore album. Also, whether you're shredding your throat trying to sing along, desperately trying to follow Vinnie Paul's complex drumming, taking an Aspirin (because you have just listened to these 53 minutes of pounding beats), or straining your fingers trying to play air guitar alongside Dimebag, there's one important thing to remember: it's still Pantera. Love it or hate it, it's still Pantera. Therefore, all Pantera fans should pick this up, as well as fans of hardcore/underground metal, heavy metal in general, and fans of Phil Anselmo's side projects (particularly Superjoint Ritual-a band which didn't exist as of 1996.)
It may be because I'm a Pantera fanatic, but when I hear such moments of this C.D. (like when the title track hits its peak), I can't help but think the same thing Phil is yelling: "Oh…f*ck yeah!"
By the time TGST released to the masses, it was obvious that Pantera was beginning to come up from the underground, much like Metallica did. By this time, however, Metallica had gone in a new direction musically. What did Pantera do? Go in another direction as well, with an extremely intense, dark, and fast album that was darker, scarier, and more intense than their previous releases. Trendkill has the mix of slow, melodic songs of dire mixed in with abrasive, angst-ridden ragers.
The cover of the album is perfect, simply showing a Rattler in the hot sun coiled and watching with a wary eye. The opening title track starts out with a frenzy of drums and a screaming of rage that may startle at first listen, though not take one by surprise. A thrashing song with all the elements of speed, intensity and unleashed fury. They mix it up a bit as they go into slower, but still HEAVY tracks like "Drag the Waters". 10's is perhaps one of the darkest, most foreboding songs on the entire album. It has a haunting intro that sounds like it should be on some gory horror flick, but not the cheesy kind! The guitars drop down with some great riffs on the chorus part before rising up to a crescendo that allows the vocals to deliver the theme through the eerie lyrics. Very mesmerizing tune that has not lost flavor over time. "Suicide Note pt. 1″ is equally impressive in its moody, atmospheric sounds as it brays on in extremely sad tones. The guitars on here are very melodic and this isn't considered of course, a thrash song, but if anything a sad metal song. "Suicide Note pt. 2″ Just does a complete 180 degree turn and we're thrown into a flurry of crunching riffs and pounding drums. "Living Through me (Hell's Wrath)" is another gem as it has some repetitive riffs that are more than welcome.
"Floods" is another slow tune that has a superb intro. The guitars here sound almost "unplugged" and it's a great little solo that leads off into some catchy chorus coupled with more of those haunting vocals. The final 45 seconds of the song breaks off into one of the most beautiful (in a metal kind of way) guitar solos I have ever heard. It evokes a feeling of uplifting power but at the same time, a great sadness. I could listen to that 45 seconds on repeat forever. Eleven tracks in all; The Great Southern Trendkill is a complete album that is a masterpiece in the discography of metal music. When others were going off in different directions, or fading out altogether, it was Pantera and the Great Southern Trendkill that helped hold the seams together to keep this style of metal alive and kicking.

Warne suffers Big Bash in Melbourne
1:52pm Friday 7th December 2012 in Sport
Shane Warne conceded the worst figures of his Twenty20 career in last night's Big Bash derby in Melbourne - and dropped a sitter.
The Melbourne Stars captain conceded 41 from his two overs as his side lost by eight wickets to the Melbourne Renegades.
Aaron Finch did most of the damage, smashing an unbeaten 111 from only 65 balls.
Warne, who was discussing the possibilty of a Test comeback earlier this week, went into the game warning the Renegades about his new 'disco ball'.
He later described the performance as "a bad day at the office".

As reported in a tweet by Fox Sports NFL writer Alex Marvez, former Purdue defensive tackle Kawann Short flew to Charlotte to meet with the Panthers yesterday.
Short is an intriguing prospect for the Panthers, and one they could look closely at in the 2nd round if they choose to draft a non-DT in the 1st round of the upcoming NFL Draft.
Here's a little tidbit on Short potentially landing in Carolina, from Rotoworld:
Short's evaluation slots him in the second-round, and the team absolutely needs help on the interior of their defensive line. The Panthers just re-signed Dwan Edwards, who consistently lined up as their three technique, but Short would offer a younger presence who could also play some five technique in a three man front. We wish Short turned on his motor every snap, however.
I don't know how high Short is listed on the Panthers' draft board, but they must have some interest in the former Boilermaker or they wouldn't have invited him to Charlotte for a meeting. This could be nothing more than Gettleman and Rivera doing their due diligence by investigating all the upper tier talent at defensive tackle, or it could be a signal that they anticipate taking someone other than a DT in the 1st round.
At this point we're not sure if Carolina is even interested in drafting a DT at all, but a lot of fans and pundits (the most recent being ESPN's Todd McShay) believe the Panthers will fill that position with the 14th overall pick. But, if the Panthers choose to go in a different direction in the 1st round, then Short could fit the bill for their 2nd round pick if he's still on the board when the #44 pick is due.
As always, stay tuned to CSR for any more details on the meeting between Short and the Panthers' brass, as we will provide any updates to this story as they become available.

Product Features
Enjoy energy savings, less noise and a 10-year warranty
Unlike conventional compressors, which have just two patterns of start and stop, Samsung's Digital Inverter Compressor makes 5 different moving cycle based on humidity levels and usage patterns. This helps maintain a more consistent temperature, reduces wear and tear on the compressor for greater durability, and keeps noise to a minimum.
Optimal humidity for longer-lasting freshness
Samsung's MoistFresh Zone: The smartly designed drawer provides an ideal environment for apples and zucchini alike, so they stay fresher longer. A tight seal prevents moisture from escaping when humidity levels are low, and a vent releases excess moisture when humidity levels are too high.
Conveniently maximise your storage space
The Easy Slide shelf is built on rolling hinges, and pulls out so you can efficiently organise and easily access your food items—and readily see just what you have store in the back.
