Should the Tax Payers Pay for the new stadium?
I'm sure there are already lots of debates on this. But should the tax payers pay for the new Vikings Stadium? Why doesn't Wilf and his other rich buddies use their OWN money to build it, all of it. In doing so, the stadium could be named after himself, all the sales and profits will go directly to him, and he would be considered a hero in the football/sports world AND in Minnesota.
What do YOU think?

Re: Should the Tax Payers Pay for the new stadium?
I feel that the state should pay for part of it also, because of the revenue and sales tax that is would bring in, not including jobs, which in the end, would help the economy tremendously.

Re: Should the Tax Payers Pay for the new stadium?
Yes, there are already lots, and lots, and lots of debates on this! :grin: But since you are new it is a fair question, and i will give you my 2 cents.
1) The tax payers are only asking to pay for part of the stadium. Not all of it. Wilf is pennying up 1/3 of the stadium price, and a total of 1 billion dollars of his own money.
2) Anoka County plans on using the facility year round, for many events. Concerts, Truck ralleys, State sports, etc. Are you suggesting that they get to use the facility without having to pay a dime?
3) The state and county will benefit for the stadium economically. 3000 construction jobs, 9000 permanent jobs, a superbowl venue, just to name a few.
4) The state and counties in Minnesota routinely give tax dollars to companies to help solidify their relationship with Minnesota. Do you have any idea how much money the state has given to 3M over the years. They could have built the stadium several times over.
5) The state and county routinely use tax dollars for other public/private ventures. The Gutherie, The Minneapolis Convention Center, the XCel Energy Center, the Children's Science Museum, the Mall of America... I could go on and on. Why should the Vikings be trated any differently.
6) If Minnesota doesn't do it, Wilf can always sell the team to someone who is willing to move it to a state that will. There are several lined up waiting for an NFL franchise. Las Vegas and LA are two of the front runners. I don't want to lose the Vikes, do you?Zeus wrote:
When are you going to realize that picking out the 20 bad throws this year and ignoring the 300 good ones does not make your point?

Re: Should the Tax Payers Pay for the new stadium?
I think in a realistic world it is going to take both. Wilf would be insane to fork out that ammount of cash on top of the huge ammount he spent to buy the team.
In a bubble world it would be awesome to see Wilf own it 100% name it after a great old school Viking, and collect every single cent of revenue minus state sales tax.
Hell he should even hire people from out of state to work there.
He could just move the team to Utah or somewhere near. I wouldn't mind forking out 2cents more for a loaf of bread so I could see the Vikings play.
Re: Should the Tax Payers Pay for the new stadium?
I believe if they build this stadium...Minnesota will become a sports haven for football fans...even paker wackers will deffinitly want to come out and look in awe at our new stadium,,,, heck any one would...

Re: Should the Tax Payers Pay for the new stadium?
I'll go for Wilf paying for all of it if he collects ALL the revenue generated by the stadium, INCLUDING ANY SALES TAX! And I'll bet Wilf wouold jump on that kind of arrangement in a hurry, too.Kentucky Vikes Fan
When you require nothing, you get nothing; when you expect nothing, you will find nothing; when you embrace nothing, all you will have is nothing.
Re: Should the Tax Payers Pay for the new stadium?
You made the exact same poll Saturday.
Bring that one back up instead of making the same thing.

More About Running Start for Careers
As we see the nature of the workforce shift to technology and industry at the same time that dropout rates and youth unemployment are high, communities are turning to innovative approaches using 'anchor' institutes in collaboration with a body of community stakeholders to keep students motivated and truly engaged in core curriculum. It is critical that Albuquerque, New Mexico's largest urban area, graduate high school students who are highly trained and prepared for these types of careers.
Program Goals
- To have an unlimited number of organization / industries and students participating in the program. We currently have three organizations participating, two confirmed and two in process.
- To have mentors from each industry that will teach the students specific information within the field of trade they represent. Those industries will have students learning what is needed on the job and it will them the opportunity to hire from that workforce.
- To give these students a feeling of accomplishment, and excitement within the desired (or chosen ) industry, therefore decreasing the drop out rate and getting them to complete the program in high school.
Running Start for Careers ...
- Expands student career choice options in areas of study prepare them for workforce entry
- Provides real life incentives for students to excel in their core subjects and stay in school
- Provides job-readiness soft skills alongside technical skills training
- Creates a much-needed pipeline of labor in the trades
- Creates economic development opportunities that help New Mexico become an industry magnet
- Instruction and mentoring by industry experts in classroom and industry locations at flexible hours
- Elective credits that keep students on track to graduate with their classmates
- Graduation with an industry specific certificate showing pre-apprenticeship or career development
- Bilingual alignment for employers recruiting bilingual students for their valuable skill proficiency
The Challenges
- New Mexico has one of the highest dropout rates in the United States
- Only 23.9% of NM high school graduates go on to attend college
- A limited amount of resources are currently being dedicated to career/technical/vocational training within our high schools
- We have high schools who have upwards of 30% of their student population acting as the primary bread winner for their households
- Students who are not college bound currently have very limited options to keep them excited about school and their futures
- An untrained and uninterested student has a high likelihood of becoming involved in gangs and other counterproductive behavior
- There is an ongoing demand for well trained employees in many career/technical fields
- Many jobs for well trained individuals within the career tech and trades have high pay scales and can provide for exciting careers and comfortable lifestyles

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—The JU softball team dropped its season finale against UNF 4-2 Sunday afternoon at the JU Softball Complex.
The Dolphins (30-22, 11-15 A-Sun) were doomed by the three run fifth inning for UNF (39-13, 17-6 A-Sun).
Freshman Cecile Gomez made the start for the Dolphins.
After two straight strikeouts to start off the game, Gomez was tagged with a solo home run over the right field fence to give UNF the early 1-0 lead.
JU would respond in the bottom of the second to tie the game.
Ashley Simon led off the inning with a double to right center to bring up Morgan Kibler. She did her job of advancing Simon to third with a groundout to second. The Dolphins then executed a squeeze bunt as Jacey Warner was able to lay down the bunt and Simon was able to avoid the tag near the plate.
With the Ospreys starting off the top of the third with a double, Dolphin head coach Ali Higgs decided to make a pitching change and sent senior Dale Tillman to the circle. She promptly got the next three batters out and was rolling until the fifth inning.
A walk and a sacrifice bunt gave UNF a runner on second with one out. A single through the left side moved the runner over to third. The Ospreys then successfully ran a squeeze bunt of their own to score the go-ahead run. The batter and runner on first ended up at second and third base on the play due to an errant throw to the plate by the Dolphins. Tillman was able to get the next batter to line out to Simon at third and she looked to have tagged the diving runner for the inning-ending double play but the third base umpire said the runner was safe. The next batter doubled to drive in two runs and put the Ospreys up 4-1.
The Dolphins were not done and made things interesting in the bottom of the sixth.
Sarah Simon started the inning off with a single to right field. The hit was the 200th of her illustrious Dolphin career. Sable Lee replaced Simon at first as a pinch runner and advanced to second after Karson Tuck was able to draw a walk. Lee was then thrown out at third for the first out of the inning as Ashley Simon hit into the fielder's choice. After a strikeout, Emily Sanchez produced a pinch hit single up the middle that allowed Tuck to score from second after the UNF centerfielder misplayed the ball. Jackie DiPiazza was then able to load the bases after her grounder to the pitcher was unable to be corralled in time to get her out at first. Meagan Balding then nearly tied the game as she hit a line drive to the outfield but it was caught by the centerfielder to end the inning and the Dolphin threat.
As neither team would score in the seventh, the game would end 4-2.
The loss ends the Dolphins' season as they will finish outside of the top six in the conference standings and will not make the Atlantic Sun Tournament. Although the season ended in disappointment, the Dolphins were still able to capture their fourth consecutive 30 win season and send the 2013 senior class out as the winningest class in program history.

Emergency response
Life can change for millions of families in an instant: natural disasters take loved ones and the outbreak of war drives families from their homes. When the unthinkable happens, Mercy Corps delivers rapid, lifesaving aid to hard-hit communities.
We have responded to almost every global disaster in the last 20 years, including the Japan tsunami, Haiti earthquake, hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa, Indian Ocean tsunami, and most recently, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

How Partitioning, Collecting, and Spilling Work in MapReduce
The figure below shows the various steps that the Hadoop MapReduce framework takes after your map function emits a key/value output record. Please note that this figure represents what's happening with Hadoop versions 1.x and earlier - in Hadoop 2.x there have been some changes which will be discussed in a future blog post.
My book Hadoop in Practice (Manning Publications) in chapter 6 discusses how some of the configuration values in the figure should be tweaked when you start working with mid to large-size Hadoop clusters.

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –Albany's Mayor kicks off the Week of the Young Child.

Albany Mayor Dr. Willie Adams said "When these kids hit first grade, they'll hit first grade running. And you won't have to do a lot of remedial work. This to me is one of the keys to improving education in this community."
Albany State athletes and other university groups took the kids on a campus tour.
The university will also host a reading workshop, spaghetti dinner, and art day as part of the week of the young child celebration.

For five innings the Barr-Reeve softball team was in complete control, but unfortunately a full softball game is seven.
The Vikings surrendered six runs in the sixth inning on their way to a 6-3 defeat to Shakamak Monday evening at Barr-Reeve.
Barr-Reeve held a 3-0 lead entering the top of the sixth inning, and starting pitcher Skylar Chestnut had allowed just one hit. The Lakers got back-to-back singles from Taylor Stevenson and Bryly Shipman, Amber Chesterfield cut the lead to 3-2 with a two-run double into the left centerfield gap.
Barr-Reeve head coach Darren Kenney visited Chestnut on the mound, and decided to let her finish the inning and get out of trouble.
"I had two other pitchers, but one of them has been hurting, so we decided to stick with her (Chestnut)," Kenney said.
Two batters later, Shakamak starting pitcher Kelsey Samm doubled to center to score Chesterfield and tie the game at three. A groundout moved Samm to third with two outs, and the Vikings appeared to be close to getting out of the jam.
Laura Sue Irons grounded a ball right to Chestnut, and the Vikings starter shot the ball to first basemen Tiara Kenney, but the ball popped out of the sophomore's glove and Samm scored the go-ahead run.
The next batter, Meghan Miller laced a pitch over Tanisha Graber's head in center field, scoring Irons. Miller had a triple when an errant throw by catcher Henley Dant to third base allowed Miller to score to make the score 6-3.
"We're one play away - if (Tiara) Kenney holds onto the ball at first base it's a tie ball game and we¹re still playing right now," Kenney said. "We hit the ball fairly well, we had six hits, and they hit the ball when they needed to." The Vikings got off to a quick start with three runs in the first, with four hits and a walk all coming with two out. Jenna Knepp had an RBI single to center, and Miller added a two-run base hit to total the scoring.

Election shows how ranked-choice voting can topple unpopular frontrunners and strengthen political coalitions
In Oakland and San Francisco, the big story of this election was ranked-choice voting, a system that allowed Jean Quan to overcome a nearly 10-point election-night deficit to become Oakland's next mayor and enabled come-from-behind victories in two races for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
Those who never liked this system of letting voters rank their top three candidates — a group primarily affiliated with downtown and the moderates who did well under the old system of low-turnout, big-money runoff elections — felt validated by the outcomes. "Ranked-choice voting an undemocratic nightmare" was the headline on Examiner columnist Ken Garcia's Nov. 11 column.
But for those who understand this system — a product of the progressive movement — and have supported it, this was a watershed election that showcased RCV's populist possibilities. In Quan's smart use of an RCV strategy and the huge gap she overcame to topple Don Perata, they see an opportunity for political coalition-building that could influence next year's San Francisco mayor's race and beyond.
Besides Perata, if there's anyone who could justifiably be unhappy with how RCV worked in this election, it would be Tony Kelly. He finished in first place in the D10 supervisorial race on election night only to be defeated by Malia Cohen, who climbed out of fourth place on the strength of those who ranked her second or third. But Kelly is perfectly happy with how RCV worked.
"I supported it before and there's no reason not to support it now, even though I'm on the edge of this," Kelly told the Guardian. In fact, he said the only reason he ran for public office in San Francisco was because of progressive electoral reforms such as RCV, district elections and public financing of campaigns. "These are all things that help grassroots candidates."
Kelly had a ranked-choice strategy; he and Marlene Tran each encouraged their supporters to rank the other second. The alliance might have been a way to overcome the strength of the district's strong African American voting bloc, which favored Cohen (she got her biggest and most lopsided bumps when Dewitt Lacy and Lynette Sweet were eliminated). But most of Tran's votes were exhausted when she was eliminated, meaning that many of her voters didn't list any second and third choices.
"Without RCV, that black vote would have never come together. It would have splintered," said Steven Hill, a progressive activist who helped design the system.
In Oakland, progressives and other blocs of voters wanted anybody but Perata, a Democratic Party power broker. So Quan reached out to all voters and was particularly helped by a progressive base that she shared with fellow Oakland City Council Member Rebecca Kaplan.
"One thing Jean Quan does consistently at events is say, 'I would like your first place votes, and if I don't get that, I would like your second place votes," Kaplan told the Guardian. "It was striking to me that she consistently asked for No. 2 votes."
That strategy, along with Quan and Kaplan running mutually supportive races and encouraging their supporters to list the other second, clearly paid off.
"It rewrites the textbook for how to win with ranked-choice voting," Hill said.
Hill and Kaplan said Oakland voters proved themselves adept at using the ranked-choice system on its debut there. Hill noted how few exhausted ballots there were, showing that voters understood and used their full options — more so than have voters in San Francisco, which has had the system in place since 2004.
"I think what this says is that RCV worked. Voters overwhelmingly filled out their ballots correctly," Kaplan said. She also noted how the election demonstrated the possibilities of political coalition-building: "It isn't so much the coattails of the candidates as the coalition of the supporters."
How does it help progressives when moderates win?
Why do people keep running to David Latterman for insight, the expert who opined that it was "mathematically impossible" for Quan to win?
It seems to me that RCV has a huge flaw. In the D10 Supervisor election a majority of voters (9084) who voted for a Supervisor candidate did not vote for either Malia Cohen (4146) or Tony Kelly (3731) among their three ranked choice votes, so their votes were eliminated. Ms Cohen's 52% win is really only 24% of the votes cast.
RCV promised majority wins without the need for run-off elections. With a largish field of candidates, a fair number of viable candidates, and the limitation of only three ranked choice votes, it's easy for a majority of voters to have cast three votes for Tran, Sweet, Moss, Lacy, Jackson, etc,.etc. and therefore be eliminated from the final decision between Cohen and Kelly.
If the voting machines can't be fixed to allow for more than three ranked choice votes, then the rules could be altered to say that when a majority of votes are eliminated ("exhausted"), then the process stops and a vote-by-mail run-off election is held two or three weeks later.
If RCV is really a progressive idea, then it's up to progressives to not ignore its flaws, and to take leadership to fix them.
Going back to a low-turnout runoff election is not a solution to what you claim are flaws in RCV, Coach Bob. Elections can be decided by a plurality of votes, or through a parlimentary system, or by RCV's system for eliminating and redistributing votes until one candidate has a majority of the votes that remain. There is nothing inherently democratic about winning a majority of votes from a minority of registered voters (which is usually what happens in runoff elections) or undemocratic about the RCV system, as a San Francisco judge ruled earlier this year. As long as the rules are clear then all the candidates have an equal shot at winning.
Actually it's worse than 23% for Malia Cohen. The latest RCV spreadsheet shows that there were 19669 ballots cast. Each ballot included a potential 3 votes for supervisor. That means there were 59007 potential votes. Malia Cohen got a total (1st, 2nd and 3rd choices) of 4173 votes. That's about 7%. Ridiculous.
And steven, I remember the runoff election between Gonzales and Newsom. It was riveting. With 21 candidates in District 10 I would have relished the opportunity to get to know the top contenders better. I've been talking to my neighbors the last few days and frankly we all feel like we got ripped off.
Bring back the runoff!

Yes, Butler and UConn may have had a disastrous showing in the NCAA Championship game, but before you dismiss it altogether, consider two things. First, we still had an unbelievable NCAA Tournament, and considering the field, that was a major upset on its own.
Second, considering the teams we got for the Finals on Monday night, at least we got something memorable. Memorably awful, yes, but isn't that better than getting stuck with something mediocre? Someone on Twitter compared Butler's shooting to the scene in Tin Cup where Roy McIvoy shanks every ball he hits. And that's fair.
But as far as the game itself, the best Tin Cup comparison would be Roy's complete meltdown on the final hole of the final round in the U.S. Open. As Rene Russo said, "No one's going to remember the Open 10 years from now, who won, who lost ... but they'll remember your 12!"
And nobody remembers who won the National Championship in 2005, but something tells me Monday's epic stinkbomb of a game will resonate for years to come. And isn't that better than UConn winning 74-59 in a perfectly decent, unremarkable snoozefest?
So, there's the bright side. You'll never get those two hours of your life back, but you'll always remember how much it sucked the year two scrappy teams made the NCAA Championship game and nearly set the game of basketball back about 50 years. Some things last forever.
With that in mind, here are a few more notes from Monday's debacle...
Kemba Walker gets all the love, but Jeremy Lamb saved UConn in the second half. And while none of this should shortchange what Kemba did for the past month--in addition to being named "Kemba", which makes him awesome by default--watching UConn in the second half, it was Lamb that looked like the can't-miss NBA prospect. Kemba will be solid in the NBA, but there are probably 50 guys in the league that can give you 90 percent of what he'll wind up bringing to the table.
With Lamb? You've got the potential for a lockdown defender, a legitimate perimeter threat, a second ball-handler, and a slasher that can score at the rim. There are about 10 guys in the NBA that can claim that total package as a shooting guard. His game still needs polish, but if he stays in school and puts it all together, I'd bet anything that he winds up having a better pro career than Kemba.
'Course, since basketball is totally screwed up, he'll probably go pro now, be completely overmatched, and spend the next 10 years confounding fans with his potential, but ultimately disappointing everyone.
After three weeks of watching them try to cover college hoops, I finally figured out what's wrong with Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley on CBS. They're afraid to criticize the college kids.
It all crystallized at halftime for me, and then again on the CBS postgame show. If a game like Butler-UConn had happened with NBA teams, the Chuckster would have been in rare form. That's like a hanging curve for Barkley. The sort of thing that makes a crappy game worth it.
Instead, he and Kenny let Anthony do most of the talking and for the most part, tried to be positive about what they'd just witnessed. An admirable approach, yeah, but so much less entertaining.
If there was any game that deserved a hundred different "TURRIBLE" soundbytes coming from Barkley, it was Monday night's matchup, and we didn't even get one. And that's why, in the end, Barkely and Kenny never quite lived up to the hype. They were too nice.
Butler may have been humiliated on National TV, but they still have the best mascot in college sports. That's probably too bold of a claim, I know, but these pictures of the Butler bulldog made me go temporarily insane. HE'S JUST SO ADORABLE YOU GUYS.
The quote of the night from the CBS broadcast team goes to... Clark Kellogg! After a fight for the ball ended with a scrum on the floor, Kellogg blurted out, "You gotta bring your strong hat and your vice grips today!" And that, my friends, is why he works the Final Four every year.
(Wait, can someone explain why does he work the Final Four every year?)
My favorite moment of the night came when CBS' rim microphones caught Jeremy Lamb on a breakaway, getting fouled, and screaming "What the f***?!" Partly because CBS' rim mics were turned up way too loud for the entire game, so they deserved it. And partly because, let's face it, Jeremy Lamb inadvertently said what all viewers had been thinking for the previous two hours. Like, seriously. What the f***?!
A close second came with Kemba and Nantz. Just as Jim Nantz was getting all excited to tell the world about Kemba's three year graduation, this happened (NSFW title). The question is, as a white person, am I allowed to link to it? Can I get a ruling from Bomani Jones?
Also enjoyed the Jim Nantz experience, in general. There's just so much to love! Like when he inexplicably plugged Walker, Texas Ranger with a pun on Kemba's name. Or when he blatantly overcheered for every Butler basket and downplayed every UConn goal. Or how he calls a reach-in foul a "reach around". That one really adds to his clueless, waspy charm.
And honestly, there's so much Nantz hate I actually feel bad piling on. But A) He makes at least $7 million-a-year and B) The details of his divorce included this now-infamous nugget:
Nantz cried on the stand ... [His wife] could not even be bothered to go to New York City to watch him collect a "Man of the Year" award. Or let him hang the oil painting—of himself—that he received with the award in their house.
But most of all, I'll never forgive him for claiming that golfers were too morally superior to use steroids. As he said a while back, when reporters got curious about steroids in golf:
I would be shocked if there's anybody in professional golf doing that. Shocked. You hear, "They're hitting it so far." But golfers are not cheats. The guys up on the pedestal in our sport play by the rules. That's unusual in our society. It's beautiful… One guy can cause a scandal. The fans would be devastated. But there's not a scandal and there's not going to be one. We should not even breathe a hint of suspicion; it's a nonissue.
I don't think I've ever rooted for a steroid scandal before, but... Yeah. Do you think Nantz announces other sports and thinks to himself, "God, what a bunch of classless urchins"? Almost certainly, no?
And Then There Was Dennis Rodman, Chillin With George Sr.
Because God Bless America.
You may not have loved Monday night's final, but in the end, it doesn't matter. To truly enjoy college sports, you have to trick yourself sometimes. Pretend all college football players aren't taking money under the table. Pretend that UConn's basketball program isn't as corrupt as anybody in the country. Pretend the NCAA's not the most hypocritical organization on earth. Pretend that college boosters aren't some of the most pathetic, creepy human beings on the planet. Ditto for college recruiters, let alone the recruiting experts. Pretend that college basketball's more fundamentally sound than the pro game. Pretend that all the players just care more. Pretend that Jim Nantz isn't announcing.
It's not a suspension of disbelief, exactly. Just... You look the other way with certain things that make the games less fun, and you enjoy what you got. And this year, we got a great player (KEMBA) going on a great run, and in the finals, we got a game that was such a disaster, none of us will ever forget it. So compain if you want, but I say God Bless College Hoops.
(And God Bless Tin Cup.)

Parker's double-double leads Sparks past Mercury
Originally published: Sep 21, 2013 - 9:30 pm
Nneka Ogwumike also had a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds, Lindsey Harding scored 13 points and Alana Beard added 12 for the Sparks. Two days after receiving the league's MVP award for the second time, Parker shot 13 for 24 from the field and 5 for 6 on free throws.
Diana Taurasi, who scored 30 points in Phoenix's win at Los Angeles in Game 1 on Thursday, had 20 points on 6-of-18 shooting. However, after trailing at halftime for the second straight game, the Mercury couldn't rally for the win this time.
Brittney Griner scored 18 points and Candice Dupree added 16 points and nine rebounds for the Mercury.
The deciding game Game 3 will be Monday night in Los Angeles.
Parker had 15 points and four rebounds in the second quarter as the Sparks extended their early lead to a 44-30 advantage at the break and then held off Phoenix in the second half.
Los Angeles led by 13 in the fourth quarter.
The Mercury chipped away a bit in the third period with Taurasi getting 11 points to help her team get within 10 going into the final period but Phoenix never got the deficit to single digits until the final 3:07.
The Mercury pulled to 76-71 on Taurasi's two free throws with 34.8 seconds remaining, but Los Angeles made 6 of 8 from the line the rest of the way to seal the win.
Phoenix committed 12 turnovers in the first half � more than they totaled in the opener on Thursday � leading to 10 Sparks points in an otherwise even first half.
The Mercury also got in foul trouble again, with Dupree picking up her third with 5:33 left in the second and Taurasi her third less than a minute later � both on the offensive end.
Los Angeles scored the last four points of the first quarter to take a 17-13 lead after 10 minutes.

text: Meet Sage. She is one beautiful boxer! Maybe that's why she seems to have had so many litters of puppies in her past, but that's all over for her now! Did you know that approximately 25% of all dogs and puppies in a shelter will be purebred or of a designer breed? Yep ... crazy isn't it! This is because people purchase pets and then, often, lose their commitment to be a "pet parent." This is not uncommon in higher socioeconomic situations where the larger sum of money to purchase the pet wasn't a factor and pets are viewed as disposable. Let's change this for these deserving pets. Sage is sweet and lovable; she will do great in any home. She has an energy for life and is very happy. She hasn't had any "accidents" in her cage, and goes pottie right away when taken outside. That's not to say she wouldn't have any accidents in a new environment, but she would be easily trained when dealt with patience and kindness. She has the common "wiggle butt" of boxers and loves squeaky toys!! Don't delay ... come to meet Sage today! Because she is so exceptional, she won't be here long!

4.38/5 rDev +11.7%
Ordered the house IPA at Flossmoor Station, the Rail Splitter, n instead had this beauty brought to my table. Tapped only a day earlier, this new Flossmoor Station brew tops their IPAs to date. What a majestic looking brew with minimal heading that only gets better n better with smell, taste n mouthful. What a bouquet of fragrances! Peach, sour apple n mango are just a few I detect. Sweet n sour is how I'd describe the taste, too, with a good amount of hoppiness. Everything comes together. Highly recommend.

I really felt the need to review this beer, it absolutely blew me away! I got a pint of this on-tap at FSRB last Friday, it came with an average white head and a considerably more amber color than the name suggested. It has a very nice herbal, fruity aroma from the hops. You can really taste what seems to be the mixing of American and European hops (and if not it's simply a very good combination of fruity and earthy hops!). This has a nice unassuming malt character but the finish from the lager yeast is perfect: dry, crisp, bitter, and surprisingly fruity. The drinkability is dangerous considering the abv so I would watch out. Overall though, this was one of the most interesting beers I've had in some time.

A: Slightly cloudy darker amber in color. Served in a nonic pint with a sizable fluffy off white colored head. Good retention. Copious lacing.
S: The worst part of this beer is the lack of an appreciable aroma. What is there is pale malt and toast. Maybe some earthy hops, bit they are light.
T: Heavy dose of toast. Some toasted malts, maybe a little caramel malt. A moderate earthy hop bitterness and a little pine on the finish.
M: Medium body. Appropriate carbonation. Moderate bitterness.
O: Pretty damn good for the style. Nice balance between hops and bitterness with a light malt base.

On-tap at Flossmoor Station. Served in a pint glass. Listed at 6.7%
A - Served with two fingers of off-white foam that settle to a thin cap, leaving behind solid lacework. Slightly hazed bronze body, with a few stray, slow-moving bubbles.
S - A mix of herbaceous Euro hops with pine, citrus, peaches, and some Simcoe or Centennial cattiness. There's a clean, bready, malt backbone.
T - The taste is more "American" with tropical fruits, pine, and light citrus zest. Not a ton of malt character at all, which leads to a very clean flavor. Finishes with mid-level bitterness that mounts over time.
M - Very creamy and smooth, with a nice dry crisp finish. Medium bodied, with medium carbonation. Style-appropriate and quite enjoyable.
D - I liked this beer quite a bit. It's a nice hoppy lager that is easy to drink and a change of pace from the steady influx of new IPAs. I'm not sure I prefer this to Rail Hopper though, which makes it hard to recommend for more than brief fling.

Served in a nonic pint glass at the brewpub.
I like the idea of an IPL, if for no other reason than we get a new initialism. This one pours a clear amber straw topped by finger of white foam. The nose comprises grapefruit, lemon, mandarin oranges, and caramel. The taste brings in more of the same, with an additional thread of pine running through the proceedings as well. The body is a heavy-feeling light, with a very light moderate carbonation and a dry finish. Overall, a nice, straightforward brew, one I'd like to see pop up elsewhere in the future.

A: Rich deep amber. Nice off-white full foam head of medium retention.
S: Very low level notes, and hard to get a read on anything specfic.
T: Spicy, piney note, and woody flavors. Very clean, dry, and almost no sweetness. Medium mouthfeel, but I think of it as thin beer. The hops are a big part of this, you can taste the pepperiness on every mouthfull, but not really a hop bite.
D: There a really balance to the brew, and a totally original personality. There's a very preceise clean cut in the taste. It high spiciness doesn't have a downside of some other non-balancing flavors, it stands somewhat alone. It's an adult taste profile, sophisticated and aloof.

Pours a clear golden-orange amber with substantial foamy tan head. Some lacing.
Smell is slightly sweet bready malts, light floral hop bitterness, and a little grassy. Hard to describe, but enjoyable.
Upfront taste is slightly sweet with a little floral hop bitterness. Almost identical to the aroma. Malty middle. Little caramel sweetness and bitter citrus and floral hops at the finish. Little fruityness.
Light to medium body, oily, light carbonation.
Great flavor and easy to drink. Could be a little more carbonated.

poured into sam adams pint glass.
Appearance: Almost opaque amber colored body with a white head. Lacing sticks well to side of glass.
Smell: Lite notes of citris and pine, but very different can't quite pin it down what i am smelling here. Interesting!
Taste: Nice bitterness from that hops that tastes spicy first, and then goes into some citris. I would say some orange and grapefruit. Followed by pine. Not a strong malt presence here at all. But the bitterness and spiciness seem to balance each other. Different!
Mouthfeel: Almost a medium bodied beer and moderate carbonation. Crisp and clean.
Overall: This beer is good. It was really something unique. I enjoyed it quite a bit!

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Smaller and more contained than many other Flemish cities, Bruges gives the impression that you have stepped back in time to the 14th century. A short drive from the port brings you to the old city where your guide will walk you through the narrow, twisting cobbled streets, past picturesque views of ancient buildings, tree-lined canals and gabled facades. Stroll through the bustling marketplace; see the Belfry Tower, the Town Hall and the Chapel of the Holy Blood. Discover another aspect of the city during what will undoubtedly be the highlight of your tour, a 30-minute canal boat ride. While sitting back in a small boat, you can enjoy the serene waterways of this romantic historic city. After some free time to explore on your own, re-board your motor coach for the return journey to the ship.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 2 hours 30 minutes of walking - at times on uneven ground, cobblestone surfaces and some steps to negotiate at the canal boats. It is not considered suitable for wheelchair guests or those with mobility concerns. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Dress conservatively to enter cathedral.

On 10/03/08, Representative Roybal-Allard (D-CA) introduced the Immigration Oversight and Fairness Act (H.R 7255).
The bill would codify minimum standards of treatment for detainees including access to telephones, quality medical care, notice of the charges against detainees, and appropriate treatment of sexual abuse survivors, among other provisions. The bill would also expand alternatives to detention program and ensure children apprehended by DHS are treated appropriately and humanely.
For more information on the Immigration Oversight and Fairness Act, you can view the bill text, a section-by-section analysis, or AILA's press release.


text: Many fans didn't like the music and the style, but I don't remember many posts (if any) about disliking the choreography. I can't agree about difficulty - there was a lot of nuance, tempo changes, and so on. Maybe not liking the music stopped people from noticing it. Also - one of Tessa and Scott's main qualities is indeed that often they make the difficult seem easy, while, when Meryl and Charlie are skating, you see how difficult it is, and think: ''Wow! How difficult! And how easily they did that!" . I am not saying that one or other style of skating is better - to each their own. I don't agree about "new team'' - that was much too difficult and refined for a new team. About "cutesy" - I agree that a part of it was cutesy, but definitely not all of it (imho). It's not like Tessa and Scott's edges are any less deeper. As for amplitude - well, I haven't seen any of them skate live, but from those who have seen both teams live I've heard that Tessa/Scott don't skate with a lesser amplitude than Meryl and Charlie. Apparently it only looks that way on TV (and not to everyone ). Recently I read a comment from someone stating that the two teams who really skate "big" are Virtue/Moir and Ilinykh/Katsalapov - but that was from a Tessa/Scott fan, so no wonder.
