What a pleasant surprise!!! Poured a rich mahogany with an off color two finger head of foam. Didn't notice the lacing for my anxiousness to go directly to taste. Did not disappoint. Sweet cherries and chocolate- not unlike the candy from Cella's. Silky mouthfeel and a memorable aftertaste that provoked past events of my youth. Perfect carbonation. Truly a fine brewed rendition of comfortable stress relieving sex. I will give these folk another chance...an IPA from GVB that I sampled last month sucked.

Every year now I pick up a couple of these because I kinda of like this beer. It never really lets me down. However this is the only beer from Golden Valley Brewery I like. The brewery is near by and I should go for a visit.
A: Pours a nice clear reddish color with a good sized frothy white head and good lacing down the glass
S: Smell is sweet and malty also some caramel scents in there
T: Caramel and toffee sweetness up front followed by a grassy/herbal hop presence
M: Medium bodied beer finished a little dry
O: Maybe not as good as last years concoction. But I'm a fan.

Dark reddish orange in color (slightly hazy) with an off-white head that dissipated slowly and left some lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet and caramel malts with some light floral hops. Flavor is very similar to taste, with the addition of vanilla and alcohol. Although this is a malt heavy brew, it's very well balanced. Body is medium, it's lightly carbonated, and has a creamy mouth feel. The taste of alcohol is noticeable, but it provides a very nice warming feeling in the finish. Very drinkable despite the higher alcohol content.

Thin head off tap yielded minimal, buy solid lacing. Caramel hazy orange in color.
Complex toasty malts and some fruity hop nose
T tastes like it smells sweet front end, toasty offer caramel and a bitter obviously chinook induced finish. I noted a alight
Astringent alcohol burn that I did not like.
Okay, a little thinner than it should be. Smooth and light on palate, bit letting it's "winter warmer" label influence my review. It's bit hefty in the mouth.
Meh. Decent beer, but overall small bang for the
Buck. Alcohol comes through in the taste
Solid beer I may try again but alcohol shines through and it's astringency turns me off.

This seems to have hit the stores this week. Saw a bomber of this on sale for $3.49; regularly $3.99. Poured into a clear pint glass.
A-Pours a deep amber hue with a two finger, light tan foamy head. Modest retention and lacing.
S-Somewhat subdued malt aroma that is biscuit like with caramel. There is also a very faint floral hop presence in the nose. Expected more from its supposedly "massive malt complex."
T-Toasted caramel malts with some hop bitterness. Fruitier more than sweet. Not nearly robust enough to "take the chill off the cold winter months." Thankfully, it is still early autumn in the PNW.
M-Smooth, but the mouthfeel is too light for style.
D-This is nothing to get excited about. Winter Warmer is one of my favorite styles, and at 8.0% ABV this is very welcome for winter, but I have a hard time believing it since this beer goes downhill after the pour. Overall, lackluster.

12oz capped bomber poured into a Stone IPA glass.
A: This beer poured a deep amber with a finger and a half tan head which thinned quickly leaving almost no lacing in the glass.
S: The nose was sweet with malt and caramel and a hint of spicy hops.
T: The taste was sweet with caramel and malt notes and finished with some hop bitterness.
M: The mouthfeel was of a medium body with some sharpness in the feel at the end
D: The drinkability was good as it had a mildly pleasant alcohol warmth which makes this a very good winter warmer.
This beer really improved as it warmed in the glass.

This is one of those beers that I had a long time ago and remember being REALLY good and had wanted to try again. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to find outside the Portland-area. Thankfully, I know of a store that is almost sure to always have em...but that's a secret! :)
4-month old, 22 oz. bottle:
The Tannen Bomb has a nice, thick, latte-esque, mocha-colored head which results in pretty thick lacing. This is obviously heavily malted, as the label says. The beer itself is a dark, deep copper color--sorta like an IPA.
The smell is very nice but is actually kind of difficult to describe. It is incredibly sweet and reminiscent of candy strawberry or cherry. There is even a little cotton candy. I also felt like I detected a little bourbon and caramel. No hops. No yeast.
The taste, like the smell, is very sweet and is reminiscent of a strawberry or cherry cream soda. There is some mild hoppyness but it is mostly malty and sweet like candy. This is an awesome brew! It is very drinkable and pleasant. It says it is a "Winter Warmer" yet is without any chocolate or harsh hop flavors which are usually present in warmers. Maybe this is half warmer, half barley wine?
The only downside to this, I think, would be its sweetness. It certainly makes for a good nightcap or a dessert, but didn't go well with the snack of potato chips I had about half way through drinking the 22oz. I was hungry but couldn't really think of anything I had that would go well with the beer so I just had to take a break and keep eating before drinking any more. This might go well with cherry or apple pie, or with any fruit in general, but you may find it more enjoyable on its own.

12 oz bottle from John's Marketplace served during Twelve Beers of Christmas tasting, 12/22/09. Sampled at HAF earlier in month, and after pouring Jim during Friday am session and seeing this interest in this beer, added to tasting roster.
Dark amber body, light tan 1 finger head, slow dissipation with nice lacing. Nose is pretty complex, big bready malt presence balanced by spicy and piney hops, but they are not dominant. The taste isn't overly hoppy, once again a nice balance. Good carbonation and nice mouthfeel, very drinkable. I'll be investigating other brews from this brewery in the future. One of the best Winter Warmers I've come across so far. Recommended.

Thanks goes out to gunhaver for this one.
A: Pours a nice golden hue with a very small head. No lacing noted on my pour.
S: Aromas of sweet malt, brown sugar, dark fruit, and caramel.
T: Flavor very much like the aroma. Brown sugar and caramel up front. A touch of roasty malt with a bit of dark fruit in the finish.
M: Medium in body, smooth and creamy.
D: Pretty tasty.

12 oz. bottle from Cost Plus "Winter Brews" mix pack.
Appearance: Clear red, almost amber in color. Firm head with decent lacing
Smell: Rich toasty malt aroma, hints of plum and raisin.
Taste: Firm bitterness to match the copious alcohol. Slightly warming. Rich dark malt flavor with some hoppiness.
Mouthfeel: Well carbonated with a big body reminiscent of a barleywine.
Drinkability: Overall a solid effort, seems more like a barleywine than a winter warmer (or are these not mutually exclusive categories?). A bit heavy and very fresh, I think this beer would really shine with some aging.

12 oz bottle poured into my large St. Feuillien goblet, TB is a clear garnet with an off-white head that settles to a thick skim and leaves decent lace.
Smell is sweet grains, caramel, maple sugar, pine resin hops, a bit phenolic.
Taste is pretty strong on the caramel, with some toffee and vanilla, caramelized sugars
Mouthfeel is sharp and creamy, with sticky malt and a spicy, bitter finish.
Drinkability is pretty good, a nice full flavored winter warmer that satisfies without beating up the palate. The well hidden ABV makes it a good value and a sure-fire way to spread the yule tide cheer!

Poured a fresh 12oz bottle into a goblet. Poured a light mahogany with brilliant ruby and garnet highlights with a frosting-like two-finger head of a creamy hazelnut color. The head stuck around for an eternity before fading to a thick collar leaving some fair lacing down the glass.
Aroma of a neutral and even-tempered winter warmer. Plenty of malt, with a good caramel sweetness augmented by blackberry honey and a bit of pastry aroma. Some herbal and floral hop notes waft through the sweeness, as does a subtle hint of spices and a touch of fruity hops.
Tastes like a solid winter warmer. Even malt, a bit more on the sweet side than bready, with a nice earthy undertone. Fruit sweetness as a result of the citrusy hops blending with the malt, yielding notes of fig, caramelized apple, plums, and a unique and enticing blackberry flavor. There's definite hoping but it's not in-your-face, gently lending its floral and herbal hop notes with just the slightest grapefruit essence. Subtle hints of cinnamon, clove, mace, and cardamom remind you its winter. Pretty beautiful flavor profile that's unbelievably well rounded.
Full bodied and creamy, with a more full body than the glowing garnet would hint at. Carbonation seems perfect, gently coaxing the creaminess and full mouthfeel to a pinnacle. A touch of maple syrupiness texturally reminds the tongue of the sweetness while a slightly bitter and barely astringent hop bittering balances nicely.
Overall, a very solid winter warmer with a few interesting flavors. Nothing outstanding and nothing unbelievably out of the ordinary, while some of the fruit notes (blackberry), spices, and herbal (english?) hops created a nicely well-rounded winter warmer when it seems the trend is either maltorific or hop bomb disguised in a snowcapped label. Definitely worth cracking a bottle if you find yourself with the opportunity.

Pours dark amber with a good sized head, plenty of lacings.
Aroma is sweet roasted malts, some fruits, floral hops.
Taste is dark roasted malts with enough bitter hops to balance the flavor.
Moothfeel is rich and some bitterness in the finish.
Drinkability is pretty good for the high abv. Alcohol is fairly well hidden.

Here we are, just a couple weeks into fall, and already I'm drawn to the Tannen Bomb Winter Warmer on-tap at Bailey's, downtown Portland. $4 for a 12 oz. snifter-fill. Possibly the earliest calendar date I've ever had this or any other of the style. Have had this several times, most recently was probably the Holiday Ale Festival last December.
A: Dark brown/mahogany pour with lighter glints of amber. Retains a fairly firm 1/2-finger cap of creamy, soapy ivory and falls gradually to a thinner scattering of sparkling film. Slow and steady carbonation crawls up the glass, concealed somewhat back in the murkier depths. Pretty lace, sticking in thin bands.
S: Light aroma that's got a pleasant malty sweetness tempered by some herbal and citrus hoppiness. Also holds a squeeze of honey, a dash of orange zest, faint tannic oak and traces of holiday spice. Not as bold as I'd have liked, but enough to evoke a cold winter day (and a warming ale to go with it).
T: Toasty malt and a sugary caramel go nicely with a more pronounced bittering (pithy orange rind and grapefruit). Balance seems fair - beginning malty with earthy hints of cocoa and peat, evolving to sharper citrus and tart fruit/hops, then rounding of with a more caramel finish.
M: Well carbonated, steady mouthfeel, leaning towards creaminess. Having read other reviews that cited a weakness in this category, I wonder if those suffered some from being kept in bottles; this kegged version was fresh, lively, medium/full-bodied and held up for several minutes with a gentle citrus-y/malty coating finish.
D: A tasty winter warmer with a concealed alcohol strength; 8% is virtually undetectable. Good flavor profile and nice balance. A beer that I'll certainly having again this fall/winter, especially when the draught version is available.

A: The ale is an amber color with brownish highlights. The head was 1.5 fingers on pour before dissolved to a small band.
S: The aroma is a malty nose with spicy hop character and a bit of tangy nutmeg.
T: The flavor is strong caramel and biscuit malts. The concentration is surprising, creating a very bread-like taste that is highlighted by nutmeg and cinnamon notes. The alcohol comes through clearly, accentuating the malt and spices. There is a bit of hop bitterness that comes through near the end, adding a flourish to the finish.
M: The ale is a strong, malty ale, flavorful and warming.
D: The abv is high and somewhat noticeable in the taste, but 8%? That shocked me. The ale is a nice drink for a cold winter night.

Pours a pretty, opaque brown color with orange highlights. The inch of head is khaki-colored, creamy, and retains wonderfully while leaving some pretty lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet caramel and dark malts, dark fruit, and a subtle nutty character. Palate is sweet malt, dark fruit, and just a touch of light fruity hops. Slightly pungent notes of tropical fruit are evident around mid-palate. Body is fairy thick but not creamy. Alcohol is very well masked, so much so that this is a fairly dangerous beer that can sneak up on you pretty quickly. On the whole, very tasty, although the fruitiness can get a little funky after a while.

poured out relatively vigorously yet no head formed and the beer appeared a little lifeless. hazy amber in color, while caramel malt and prunes predominated the nose. flavor is much the same, with a slight bit of funky, yeasty notes detected. really, kinda boring... but mouthfeel is this beers best quality; creamy with ample carbonation. i don't know what the hell "winter warmer" means in terms of style, but this is essentially a strong red ale... nothing special. i could drink a few of these if i wanted to, but it's just so much an underwhelming experience that i wouldn't (wan't to).
ok, so i'm editing my review a few minutes later and as the beer has warmed it has also become a little more flavorful. and i'm not so sure it's a strong red ale anymore but it is didtinctively English... something like an English strong ale.

Equal parts dark bronze, brick red and rustic orange with fiery orange edges. The golden brown sugar head is impressively tight-bubbled and should stick around for a good long while. As expected, a thick coat of lace is beginning to appear as the cap deflates (and results in plenty of eye candy in the end). Now this is how a winter warmer ought to look.
The nose is heavy on sweet caramel and light on citric hops. My first impression of 'too weak' no longer applies now that the head has almost finished melting. I'm now able to appreciate a pleasant buttered rum aroma that puts me in mind of the holidays.
Tannen Bomb may not be a malt bomb as the brewery would have us believe, but it does fit comfortably within the bounds of the style; something that isn't always a given when it comes to winter warmers. Several more mouthfuls tell me that it belongs on the lighter end of the style scale however. Even more malt and even more rich, malty flavor would make it an even better beer.
The hop bill consists of Chinook, Liberty and Fuggles (brewed with) and Kent Goldings (dry-hopped with). Chinook is possibly the only one of those that I might have been able to identify due to the resiny, spiced grapefruit flavor that it imparts. I could do with more hops as well as more malt. A citric tartness is at least as prominent as bitterness, with sweet bringing up the rear. Unusual, and not entirely welcome, for the style.
The beer would be much better served with a bigger, chewier mouthfeel. It seems like it'll get there when beer first enters mouth, but the expected viscosity never really materializes. Age might be the culprit, although without any sort of dating, how would I know whether I have a one-year-old or a two-year-old bottle? I doubt that it's any older than that.
Tannen Bomb, while good beer and a fine version of a sometimes hard to define style, isn't as explosive as it could be. As always, my suggestion to is add more of everything. It's a good little drinker though and is another worthwhile offering from little known Golden Valley Brewery.

Pours a slightly hazy deep amber with a one finger slightly off white head somewhat creamy look to it,wow big fruit in the aromas it really jumps out at ya as it warmed a little the brown sugar and caramel elements show thru more very appetizing.After the first few sips I noticed quite a big alcohol burn but as I drank more it semmed to meld into a nice rounded winter ale, brown sugar and ripe fruit like cherry even a little orange with some caramel.The alcohol is strong up front but this is quite good it is a big malt bomb and really warming.

vacation rental description
This stylish two bedroom, decorated by Sasha Darling who is a well known stylist and boutique owner in San Francisco, is the perfect San Francisco getaway. I'm an avid travelor and leave for long periods of time! Stay in my home while I'm out on an adventure!!
Hardwood floors, modern bohemian style with a huge kitchen and formal dinning room. It's a great place to cook, have dinner parties and still have a relaxing visit while just being a hop from the city center on Bart. It's also only about a 10 min drive to The Popular Mission District. Lovely view out the back of the house of Twin Peaks and generally bright and airy. The neighborhood is a bit more of a family area but close to the amazing McClarean Park that has some beautiful hiking if you are a nature lover. This is a good place if you want a relaxing visit, but close to transportation that can take you to the rest of city center.
Master Bedroom has a super comfortable tempur-Pedic queen size bed. Second room has a full bed. The space is just over 1200 Square feet!
The style is kind of a mid-century modern meets boho. With designer pieces from Eames, Haywood Wakefelid and Paul McCobb for any designer furniture lovers. This is a no TV home but we have a ton of movies you can watch on your laptop.
The style of my home is casual and artist. Come here and be inspired. It's not a luxury home but a unique and thoughful place. It has some quirks, like fragille plumbing.
The kitchen has a fully restored gas range from the 50's by o'keefe and orah and it's lovely to cook on!
Restaurants and cafes one block away.
This unit comes with Garage parking.
We welcome you well behaved pets but require an additional deposit, just in case. There is a large backyard as well they can romp around in.

Michael Christie to Lead Minnesota Orchestra's Classical Series Opening Concerts, 2/20-22
Conductor Michael Christie will lead the opening concerts of the Minnesota Orchestra's classical season subscription series on Thursday, February 20 at 11am; Friday, February 21 at 8pm; and Saturday, February 22 at 8pm as the orchestra returns to the renovated Orchestra Hall (1111 Nicollet Mall) for its homecoming subscription series, which runs from February through July 2014.
Christie, who is the Music Director of the Minnesota Opera, conducts the Minnesota Orchestra for the first time in 15 years, leading three of the most popular works of the 20th century's early decades: Rachmaninoff's virtuosic Piano Concerto No. 2, Stravinsky's colorful Firebird Suite and Ravel's mesmerizing Boléro. Young Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov, among the brightest stars in the next generation of pianists, performs the Rachmaninoff concerto.
"I am deeply honored to have been asked to lead these series opening performances," Christie says. "As a resident and artistic leader in the Twin Cities, this is also a fabulous opportunity to build bridges between organizations like the Minnesota Orchestra and Minnesota Opera."
Michael Christie continues as Music Director of Minnesota Opera, a post he began in fall 2012, leading three productions during the 2013-2014 season - Puccini's Manon Lescaut in September 2013, Richard Strauss' Arabella in November 2013, and Verdi's Macbeth from January 25-February 1, 2014 at Ordway Center for the Performing Arts (345 Washington Street).
Michael Christie is a thoughtfully innovative conductor, equally at home in the symphonic and opera worlds, who is focused on making the audience experience at his performances entertaining, enlightening, and enriching. The New York Times reports, "Michael Christie is a director open to adventure and challenge," and the Cincinnati Enquirer declares, "If Michael Christie represents the future of music in this country, the future looks promising indeed."
Christie, who was featured in Opera News in August 2012 as one of 25 people believed to "to break out and become major forces in the field in the coming decade," began his tenure as the first-ever Music Director of the Minnesota Opera with the 2012-13 season. His 16-year symphonic conducting career has included serving as Music Director of the Phoenix Symphony (2005-2013) and Brooklyn Philharmonic (2005-2010), and as Chief Conductor of the Queensland Orchestra (2001-2004) in Australia, as well as guest appearances leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra, the Symphonies of Dallas, St. Louis, Atlanta, Houston, Minnesota, Oregon, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati. His New York Philharmonic debut came in March 2007 when he stepped in on short notice for an ailing Riccardo Muti.
Christie has also served as the Music Director of the Colorado Music Festival since 2000, where he has been highly praised for his innovative programming and where audiences are now at an all time high, resulting in him being named "Musician of the Year" by The Denver Post in 2010.
Over the course of his career, Christie has embarked on a series of intriguing and ambitious projects focused on growing and nurturing audiences. These include his Intermission Insights, designed to offer compelling engagement with the audience during one of the most fertile and underutilized moments during the concert, the intermission; Clef Notes, a short "real time" guide to a concert as it is being performed; Click! The Community Commissioning Club, a program in which audiences can vote on composers to be commissioned. In addition, Christie has developed initiatives around introducing audience members to music outside the standard repertoire - from Baroque to contemporary - as well as interdisciplinary collaborations with visual artists, dance companies, and theater groups, and contemporary composers such as Gorecki, Ligeti, Adams, Golijov, and Tan Dun.

So 28-year-old Indians starter Fausto Carmona is actually 31-year-old Roberto Hernandez Heredia. The news is barely a day old, but it already feels much older than that. Maybe it only feels much older than that to me. Anyway.
There's a lot of mystery involved in how this sort of thing takes place. How a player assumes another age and another identity. Courtesy of Mark Schwab - and courtesy of Pedro Gomez - we get a new nugget:
ESPN's Pedro Gomez reports Fake Fausto was paying hush money to the family of the real Fausto. They outed him when he wouldn't up the $ paid
Well isn't that a thing? Hush money! Legitimate scandal!
These fake names - at least most of the time, they're not really fake names. According to Gomez, there is a real Fausto Carmona. It's just that the Fausto Carmona we thought we knew wasn't the real Fausto Carmona. Again, it's reminiscent of what happened with Leo Nunez/Juan Carlos Oviedo:
Oviedo honored his late father's wish when he turned himself into authorities earlier this month, confessing that he had assumed the name and age of a boyhood friend in order to improve his marketability as a young baseball prospect.
Carmona and Nunez didn't make identities up. They assumed other identities, with permission. I'm not sure why ex-Carmona stopped paying his hush money, if that story is true, since he earns a high salary, but I suspect more details will continue to emerge.

The following quotes are from NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
• "The way Trent Edwards was released (by the Bills), it seemed like something would have been behind it — some sniping or off-the-field incident — but sometimes teams just cut their losses and move on. We looked into it. They just wanted to move Brian Brohm and the next guy up one notch in the pecking order and see what they got. Edwards had spurts of real good games and he had enough talent, but he just was not consistent enough."
• "Jacksonville's young offensive line is not getting coached well. Everyone wants to kill the quarterback (David) Garrard, but you could put Dan Marino back there and he could not play quarterback much better. There is no protection."
• "(Iowa head coach) Kirk Ferentz is one of the top five coaches in college football. He gets the most out of the talent they have of any program I know. … I think he would be a great NFL coach, but there are not many college coaches I would say that about."
• "There are two or three plays every week that decide who wins — everywhere around the league. That is why coaching is so key. I don't know what is happening in San Francisco with (Mike) Singletary. But, gee whiz, for them to come out of the box so slowly. He is so blustery — I don't know if that works anymore. That approach is so short-term — it wears off. … He is a figurehead motivator. He has never even been a coordinator. When Mike Nolan takes him from Baltimore and does not make him a coordinator, it tells you something."
• "Once you win a couple of games, you think you are the smartest guy in the world. The big knock on Mike Martz — from everyone that has worked with him — is that he is an egomaniac. It'll get crazy if they keep winning with smoke and mirrors."
• "I thought this was going to be the year that it all caught up to (Steelers head coach Mike) Tomlin, but it just goes to show you — if you keep (Dick) LeBeau and those black and gold uniforms, they will keep winning."
• "Who do the Giants have that is explosive on offense? Ahmad Bradshaw? Mario Manningham? Their offense does not have anyone that scares you, and the offensive line is getting old fast. Tennessee was just toying with them."
• "Vince Young is too up and down. I can see why they don't trust that guy. You don't know who is showing up on Sunday with him. I am not in that building, but I can tell you just from watching him — they don't know who is showing up. It's not easy to plan around that."
• "Michael Vick looks like a young Steve Young running that same offense with a left-handed gun and a lot of talent around him. He could be more consistent, but he's going to create a lot of plays and get you out of a lot of bad situations."
• "Norv Turner had to fight when he got to San Diego. You have to throw to win. More teams are throwing than ever before because they don't allow you to hit the quarterback or touch receivers. The reality is that the NFL wants teams to air it out. That is the way the league has gone. You tell me who lines up and knocks you off the ball. No one does it anymore."
• "(Ravens DT) Haloti Ngata is dominating. There are few big men that can move like he does. You don't hear his name a lot, but he is the guy you have to game plan for on that front. He's a small house."

By DR. CLAUDE ROLAND
---- — As revenues to Adirondack Health diminish from improved outpatient services and decreasing insurance reimbursement, the cost of the low-census Lake Placid Emergency Department may not be justified.
Recently, Adirondack Health presented the case for converting the Lake Placid Emergency Department to an urgent-care center with anticipated $950,000 annual savings.
I wish to comment on several points raised at the May 1 meeting.
The financial wisdom of creating a wound center was raised. Implied was that had Adirondack Health not embarked on this project, there would be sufficient funds for the Lake Placid Emergency Department.
There had been a clinical need for such a center, given a high incidence of wounds and the inability of practitioners to devote the time required to care for them appropriately.
The board had decided to invest resources in the center after financial analysis, which had accurately predicted the center would generate revenue. The wound center was a sound clinical and financial decision.
It was stated that trauma patients should not be transported to Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake but rather to Fletcher Allen Health Care or to CVPH Medical Center.
As an instructor of Advanced Trauma Life Support and a surgeon who has managed trauma at AMC and CVPH, I need to correct this misconception. A basic principle of trauma care is to render appropriate care as rapidly as possible. Most trauma patients are best served by transport to AMC in Saranac Lake staffed by qualified surgeons.
It is the responsibility of the Emergency Department staff and surgeon to determine if a patient should be treated locally or if the injuries demand a Level I trauma center, such as Fletcher Allen.
The decision to transfer is based on internationally accepted guidelines. Examples of injuries best treated at AMC are splenic injuries or penetrating trauma, where delay could be fatal. Over the years, AMC has successfully managed some highly complex trauma cases.
It was also inaccurately stated that stroke victims should bypass AMC. Stroke victims are treated by protocol emphasizing rapid diagnosis and treatment with clot-busting agents under the supervision of a neurologist via telemedicine available 24/7.
Certainly, if the patient has a brain bleed and requires neurosurgical expertise, then transport to Fletcher Allen is appropriate. This is the rare patient, who still needs AMC for the initial radiographic diagnosis. Finally, this writer, a vascular surgeon, can provide surgery in cases of stroke due to plaque in the carotid artery.
Excellent and thought-provoking points were made. For example, the concern regarding the anticipated stress on the EMS system deserves careful consideration.
However, I was appalled by the meeting's tone and by the implication that the administration and board may not be acting in the best interest of the population served. The administration and the board, which volunteers countless and apparently thankless hours, are bound to preserve the institution and fulfill its mission statement. In discharging this responsibility, tough decisions need to be made. Neither the administration nor the board derives personal gain from making these decisions.
Every American needs to realize the runaway costs of health-care must be reduced and that patients, administrators, and physicians will be impacted.
We, as a community, must adapt to the national budgetary constraints and respect those who in good faith are attempting to maintain high-quality care in the context of new economic realities. If the board does not take its fiduciary responsibility seriously today, there will be no hospital tomorrow.
Having observed variable health-care delivery from Britain to Haiti, it distresses me that the adage "familiarity breeds contempt" manifested itself during the meeting.
Adirondack Health, which does not belong to any specific town, but rather to all individuals served, is an unusually well equipped and staffed facility. I brought my mother from Westchester County to AMC for major surgery recently. I know what the superb nurses and physicians of AMC do every day.
Some medical staff at AMC, myself included, have generally supported the proposed conversion. However, the upcoming discussion may raise further legitimate concerns and reveal opportunities for compromise acceptable to all. I trust that future talks will be civil and better informed of the weighty issues.
Dr. Claude Roland is a member of the Department of Surgery at Adirondack Medical Center and CVPH Medical Center and is medical director of the Wound and Hyperbaric Treatment Center.

A Note from a Victim of Domestic Violence

Anyway, I will always be forever grateful and thankful to all the counselors and to CHILD, Inc. But mostly to Sarah's House for giving me the support and caring that I needed to get through such a traumatic time of my life.

A volcano in Sakurajima in southern Japan has erupted, spewing volcanic ash onto Kagoshima City.
The eruption at one of Japan's most active volcanoes caused ash to cover roads. Residents of Kagoshima donned face masks to protect themselves while sweeping away the ash.
The volcano has erupted over 600 times this year and is expected to continue its intermittent eruptions.
Currently, the volcano warning there is at level three out of a possible five levels.
A level five would mean that the residents living near the crater would have to be evacuated, while level three warns people not to approach the volcano.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Lawmakers and education advocates came to a remarkable compromise in forging an overhaul of tenure laws to make it easier for public schools to oust ineffective educators. But building a consensus meant dropping a change that most other states have already made: Making teachers' effectiveness a factor in determining which lose their jobs in case of layoffs.
GOP Gov. Chris Christie, who opposes using seniority to determine layoffs, is still deciding whether he's willing to accept the compromise.
If he vetoes the bill, he'll undo a deal among a unanimous Legislature and groups who don't often agree on the details of improving schools.
If he signs it, he'll have to sacrifice — for now, at least — something that's been a core principle in his beliefs about school reform and leave New Jersey as one of only 11 states with a last-in, first-out policy for educators in the face of layoffs.
"The question is: Are there enough good things in there for me to sign it?" Christie said at a town hall meeting last week. "And I've got to make that decision."
He has until Aug. 3 to sign, veto, or conditionally veto the bill.
Even without getting rid of the seniority protections, the law would represent major changes to a century-old tenure system that practically everyone found fault with in some way.
Currently, New Jersey public school teachers are granted tenure after three years on the job. Under the bill, it would take four years, including high marks on more rigorous evaluations.
"What a piece of legislation like this is really meant to do is change culture," said Derrell Bradford, executive director of the policy arm of the group Better Education for New Jersey Kids. "We're asking teachers and leaders to focus on something more concrete, which is student achievement, to figure out whether or not they will be rewarded with tenure."
Under the proposed changes, teachers who have bad marks two years in a row would be given 90 days to improve. If they don't, their districts would initiate tenure charges and fire them. Cases where the teachers dispute the firings would be heard by arbitrators who would have 105 days to make their rulings as opposed to administrative law judges whose decisions can take months. The first educators ousted under the bill would not lose their jobs until sometime in 2015.
The bill was pieced together by state Sen. Teresa Ruiz, a Newark Democrat who believes seniority should not decide who faces layoffs, and Assemblyman Patrick Diegnan, a Democrat from South Plainfield who favors keeping seniority.
Lawmakers and education interests have given the lawmakers enormous credit for hearing out all of their concerns.
The two unions that represent nearly all the state's public-school educators have endorsed the plan, as have reform groups that see teachers unions as obstacles and associations representing school boards, superintendents and principals.
Most of the groups that signed on did it with some caveats.
For New Jersey Education Association spokesman Steve Wollmer, the problem is that the tenure decisions are to be based on a new evaluation system that's still being tested. "It's a bit of a leap of faith here because we've built this brand-new house called 'tenure reform,' but we've put it on a foundation that hasn't been poured yet," he said.
For the New Jersey School Boards Association's Frank Belluscio, it's just a step — not the renewable tenure contracts his group has pushed for decades. "This is all well and good in the context of the current lifetime system of tenure," he said.
If it works as intended, the changes would make the process of ousting underperforming teachers faster and less costly.
That's something that the unions want just as much as school districts.
It's teachers and their representatives who sound most enthusiastic about the bill. "This bill is not much different than the way the system is supposed to work," Stephanie Tarr, a history teacher at Cedar Creek High School in Egg Harbor City and activist NJEA member, said in an email. "Make no mistake: teachers, and their unions, know who the bad teachers are."
But leaders of both the NJEA and the American Federation of Teachers said they were not going to endorse a bill that stripped seniority when it came to layoffs.
It was one of the last major changes Ruiz made before she unveiled her bill in mid-June.
But the seniority issue remains a major concern, particularly for Christie, who has become a nationally prominent voice on education reform.
He says that when districts lay off educators, they should keep the best ones, not just the most experienced ones.
Christie, like many education experts, says the quality of teaching makes a huge difference in how students perform. And he doesn't believe lesser teachers should keep their jobs if better ones are laid off.
But to unions, preserving seniority is a key to the deal.
Get rid of it, said Donna Chiera, president of the state branch of the American Federation of Teachers, and layoffs would be made for other reasons. "It opens the door to a lot of inequities: You're young, enthusiastic, cheaper, you're the right nationality," she said. "Seniority right now is a matter of fairness."
She said she would be willing to accept a merit-based system if she knew schools had an evaluation system that would objectively sort out effective and ineffective teachers.
Until the last few years, the debate in New Jersey about how teacher layoffs should be carried out was largely theoretical. "Typically, education is a growth field," said Nat Bender, a state spokesman for the AFT.
But tough times economically — along with a new state law capping property tax increases — have put school districts in budget crunches. In 2010 and 2011, layoffs were widespread.
And there are expected to be more in years to come, particularly in Newark and other urban districts where students are leaving traditional public schools to attend charter schools, leaving behind more teachers than are needed.

Go BLUE!!!
But agree that the best bet is to finish ahead of Indy. They are so hard to project because they won on the road in Seattle and San Francisco, then get demolished at home vs St. Louis. They've got Tennessee twice, KC, Texans, and the Jags..... other than the head to head with Cincy. That head to head very well may decide who's the 3 seed and who's the 4 seed.
I'm normally the pessimistic guy on here. I don't think they can make a playoff run like I thought they could a few weeks ago, but I still think they win their division and have a better chance at winning a playoff game than they have since 2005. It may because of how bad the AFC is, but I'll take it however I can get it.
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
The Patriots aren't a juggernaut this year so I wouldn't concede the #2 seed to them yet. They have to go to Carolina this week and then host the Broncos the week after. If the Bengals win this week, they could very well head into San Diego tied with New England.
Poor weather conditions called for tomorrow. Not sure who that favors but my gut says the Browns.
I'm interested in jobs and you won't create jobs by forcing employers to pay their employees $9/hr- Sea Ray
I'd say min wage should be about $9/hr - Sea Ray
I think the winner of this one wins the division. The Browns remaining schedule is very manageable and they'd obviously have the tiebreaker over the Bengals. A Bengals win gives them a 2.5 game lead with five to play.
first drive and we still can't protect Dalton...not a good sign.
Our offense is a mess. Dalton is playing terrible, line not blocking, receivers not getting open. Yikes.
LOL Dalton.
Might have to bench Dalton.
He throws so many INTs. He is just awful right now.

Because when it comes to getting out the door for a daily workout or changing our relationship with food, we'll take all the help we can get. From an eye-opening journey of how food is made to a new approach on beating cancer, see what healthy reads FitSugar editors keep in their permanent collection. Anticancer: A New Way of Life What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A friend recommended this book to me after her personal battle with breast cancer four years ago. Although Anticancer: A New Way of Life ($18) is geared toward helping people with the disease, anyone wanting to live a healthier life can benefit from reading this powerful book. David Servan-Schreiber, a doctor, scientist, and brain cancer patient, spent months researching scientific data on natural defenses against cancer. He discovered how our traditional Western diet increases our risk for diseases, and he maps out a healthier diet that avoids meat, processed foods, and sugar. I'm happy to say that today my friend is cancer-free — she can't help but believe it has something to do with her dietary changes — Jenny Sugar, associate editor 1 / 7 The Omnivore's Dilemma What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you've appreciated the books Diet For a New America or Fast Food Nation, you'll love The Omnivore's Dilemma ($18), a behind-the-scenes look at how food is produced, where it actually comes from, and how it's harming not only our health, but also the health of the planet. Super eye-opening, this book further supported my choice of eating a vegetarian diet and also inspired me to go vegan for six years. It makes you question the source of the food that makes it to your dinner table and helps you become more conscious about overall food choices. — JS 2 / 7 A Course in Weight Loss What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Best-selling author and speaker Marianne Williamson urges people to choose love over fear, while getting very self-aware in the process. Her book A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons For Surrendering Your Weight Forever ($11) looks at the elusive connection between spirituality and weight loss. But the book is not just theory. Marianne provides concrete exercises to complement each lesson that assists in saying goodbye to unwanted weight forever. If you're really feeling like nothing works no matter how hard you try to lose weight, I highly recommend reading this book with an open mind. I've passed on the title to quite a few friends who still can't stop singing its praises. — Lizzie Fuhr, assistant editor 3 / 7 Yoga Anatomy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Whether you're a yoga newbie or a seasoned practitioner, Yoga Anatomy ($9) by Leslie Kaminoff should have a spot on your bookshelf. The detailed descriptions and anatomical illustrations of each posture will help you understand why the body moves the way it does and what benefits each pose brings to the table. I'm constantly flipping through this book to find poses that will help prevent injury or target a specific muscle group. — LF 4 / 7 Grub: Ideas For an Organic Urban Kitchen What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Before pesticide-free food found its way into the mainstream and farmers markets were on everyone's to-do lists, a friend gifted me with this cookbook. But Grub: Ideas For an Urban Organic Kitchen ($18) is so much more than a collection of good-for-you recipes. A manifesto of sorts for the organic food movement, this book is an education on pesticides and how they harm both the body and the planet; it's also a guide on shopping with the seasons, with handy DIYs, food charts, and shopping checklists to take all the guesswork out of the equation. The practical knowledge, beautiful photos, and tasty recipes will inspire you not to leave the kitchen for at least a week — except perhaps to make a visit to the local farm. — Michele Foley, associate editor 6 / 7 The End of Overeating What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Written by the former head of the FDA, David Kessler's The End of Overeating ($17) helped me change my relationship with food and the desire to eat well past feeling full. Kessler lays out his arguments like a scientist, explaining why we crave sugar, fat, and salt, and details the relationship between food science and what we actually eat. The book also explains why many Americans are obsessed, and even addicted, to food. Kessler doesn't leave you stranded in the mire of food compulsion and offers ways to break the cycle. But it's not easy to break the addiction to food; you can't go cold turkey, because, unlike cigarettes or booze, you cannot live without food. The process might be slow, but using different rewards and substituting unhealthy foods with healthy activities and healthier foods, you can begin to create positive changes in your relationship to eating. — Susi May, fitness director 6 / 7 Kara Goucher's Running For Women What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Olympic marathoner Kara Goucher has some serious street cred as an endurance runner, and in her book, Kara Goucher's Running For Women ($16), authored with Adam Bean, she imparts helpful advice and bits of inspiration for all levels of runners, keeping true to the book's subtitle: "From First Steps to Marathons." Each chapter begins with an anecdote exploring Kara's love of running and her trials as a competitive athlete; following these personal tales is useful information that often reinvigorate my running routine. From the importance of good socks to running for time over mileage, from postrun snack ideas to buddying it up on remote trails, her hard-earned knowledge has affected my running, and her enthusiasm for the sport is infectious. This book did not keep me up at night, but whenever I flip through it I always set my alarm for an early morning run. — SM 7 / 7 6.4K 16 19 1 0 Read More Healthy Living TipsHealthy LivingBooks Books Someone From the Harry Potter Franchise Has Signed On For the Spinoff 10 hours ago George R.R.

Grads will have ups and downs this season, but he is a stone cold lock to be the starting QB next year, basically because Gruden loves him and he is right for the system. Â Some of the passing was a little off today, but he still had a decent completion percentage. Â I am sure he will have days when he does a hell of a lot better, and once he gets used to the playbook and game speed he will be a VERY good QB.
i dont know how they can jump into a middle of a conversation and somehow discern that you think simms is the savior and grads sucks. This thread was based solely on the purpose of what grads needs to work on based on what we have seen from him today.
I thought that Grads showed some pretty decent arm on his long ball. Yes, he overthrew his recievers badly, but more than a few of those throws were as good as I've seen in the NFL as far as distance and velocity. Grads showed me today that his supposed 'lack of a big arm' isn't quite as advertised. Simms throws a better deep ball, but Grads arm is better than I thought. Much better. As far as his performance, considering that the Bengals had some game tape on Grads, it wasn't bad at all. I was especially encouraged that after going 9 of 20 in the 1st half, Grads was able to connect on 16 of 24 (66%) in the 2nd half. That not only indicates that Gruden made some changes, but Grads made some too. I also like the fact that when the game was on the line (twice) he's responded and given his team the lead twice late in the 4th quarter. Rookies don't do that much and Grads is 2 for 2.So encouraged? Damn Straight. The telling game will be the next one against Philly IMO. The Eagles will have 2 full games of tape to study, one against a common foe. But count me as on the Great Gradowski bandwagon, I do believe that Grads is our QB for next year and beyond. I guess what I see that I didn't see before with the other Buc QB's is what has already been mentioned on this board so I'm not going to go into that. But what I really like, really appreciate about Gradowski is that this guy is what football is all about. It's taking on that LB with a solid driving block when all that was needed was to get in front of him to keep him from making the play. It's about chasing down the guy that intercepted you, and tearing off his helmet as if to say 'how DARE you! I'll make you pay!'. It's about refusing to go down, finding a way to make that play to keep the critical drive alive, but also knowing when the play is over and giving up and not costing the team distance as well as the down. It's about making that hard count to draw the opposing defensive line offsides in your 2nd freaking game (good job rookie! Some vet QB's can't do that). Some say that Gradowski reminds them of Gannon, or perhaps Garcia. I see a Farve with a dash of Brady. Maybe Lord Farve's game isn't what it used to be, but when you think of competitiviness you think of Farve. The dash of Brady comes from (hopefully) not being quite the gunslinger that Brett was. I think Grads would fail, or at best be a average QB in a traditional offense. However, I think he will be close to brilliant in this one (I really believe that). Gruden is exactly the right coach for Bruce and this is the right offense with the right parts for him to be successful. I believe that this is the guy that Gruden has been waiting for and I think Gruden knew it in the pre-season. I believe deep in his heart, he knew this is the guy he wanted to QB his team, but his head said that Chris should get his chance first, but I don't think he was ever fair to Chris. Gruden took a long time to modify his game plans to Chris's strengths, almost reluctantly making belated changes in the 2nd half of the Carolina game. However, with Gradowski, Gruden's play calling has changed, it's taken on a new life - again almost if he's excited to run the next play just to see how it would work. Double end around? Who runs those any more? The quick slants were there almost all the game. There were recievers open in the seams today that Gradowski just missed. That will change. I never wrote like this about any of Simms games. I was happy as everyone else was when we kept winning last year with Chris, but the offense never seemed 'right'. Simms was still a caretaker, not a driver of the offense. Bruce is a driver. I believe he's going to take this offense places it has never been before. And I think we will see it this season. I really do.It's only two games, only 2 games plus a phenominal pre-season. But this guy is the right guy in the right system.

Just a few days until the North Dakota State Fair opens, so we checked out a few food vendors getting ready for the big opening day.
Many fair goers come for the fun, others come for the food. The state fair has 51 food vendors, many of those on wheels. Matt Cranston owns two trucks, and travels from state to state.
"I came from River Falls, Wisconsin," says Cranston.
Cranston owns two food trucks with his wife and his daughters, the Flowering Onion and Pork Chop on a Stick.
Cranston arrived on Sunday, and says he needs a full week to prep before the Friday's opening.
"Pretty much takes a good day per trailer to set up, at least," says Cranston.
The Flowering Onion owner says he'll have at least 6 to 8 workers help out.
"We peel all our onions the night before, as many to keep going until maybe 2, 3 o'clock. I have two full time peelers, then we'll probably, depending on the grandstand, we have to be prepared before and after because all the people come out," says Cranston.
Cranston says it takes more than just food delivery to get his trucks ready to go.
"You have to hook up the water, the gas for the fryers, and there's a refrigerator in there to hook up the pop machine, the drain for the pop machine, the drain for the air conditioner. We have to completely wash the whole thing inside and out, all the windows, on the floor, fryers got to be cleaned and then you just keep that maintained every night and every morning so it looks perfect," says Cranston.
He says hopes the rain holds back for the next few days of preparations.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Last week, the Catholic Seven officially decided to leave the Big East conference amidst all the conference realignment, and decided to form their own conference. Needless to say, a conference needs to have more than seven schools in it -- and rumors are already surfacing that the conference will have 12 schools.
According to Sports Illustrated's Pete Thamel, Xavier and Butler will "definitely" be added to the new conference, which would give the new conference nine schools. After that, Creighton and Dayton would be the next two targets for the new conference, which would bump up the total to 11.
Thamel believes the 12th spot in the conference is slightly up for grabs, but that Saint Louis would be the favorite for the final spot. VCU and Davidson are both sleepers for the 12th spot -- despite the fact that VCU isn't a private or a religious institution.
The new conference isn't expected to begin play until 2014-15, but Thamel adds that there is an outside chance that the new league could begin play as soon as next season.

Police say the owner of a Claycomo automotive shop is dead and his daughter has critical injuries after a shooting Friday night.
The shooting happened at Clay County Engine Rebuilders, an automotive shop located on the intersection of NE Munger Road and NE Vivion Road.
Authorities say the owner, Ray Littrell, was killed and his daughter was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Littrell's friends and neighbors rushed to his shop to see if the rumors were true - that who they call a pillar of the community was killed. Many were overcome by grief and others in disbelief over the murder.
"He was just a good guy, very well-respected in the community and this is just shocking," said Christina Smith, a family friend.
Smith remembers Littrell as a big racing fan who went above and beyond to help anyone.
"He's been a supporter of our racing for a long time, our race trailer's behind his shop. I've known him a long time. He's a great guy," she said.
Now Smith and the community is hoping Littrell's daughter pulls through. She offers a glimmer of hope for the community grieving the loss of the neighborhood patriarch.
"He (Littrell) just a big old bear who would do anything for anybody. It's sad," Smith said.
Police said the shooting took place near the garage door that opened into the automotive shop about 5 p.m.
Authorities say it was a family dispute that may involve a child custody case.
The Clay County Sheriff's Department said they received a call about 7:30 p.m. from a family member of Frank Littrell, Ray Littrell's son. The family member told the sheriff's office that she was with Frank Littrell and he wanted to turn himself in for the double shooting.
The family member drove Frank Littrell to the sheriff's office where they and Liberty police took him into custody.
A second unrelated shooting was reported at the Stonegate Meadows Apartments, located at East 42nd Street just south of Interstate 70, in Kansas City, MO.
When officers arrived they found a man in his mid-20s in the grass near the clubhouse. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Witnesses said they heard shots and saw someone running from the area. Police ask that anyone with information call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477)
