A word from The Dutch
The Dutch is an American restaurant, bar and oyster room inspired by local cafes, country inns, corner taverns, neighborhood bistros, seaside shacks, roadside joints and the same mix of cultural influences that make New York City great. Award-winning Chef Andrew Carmellini's roots-inspired American menu features fresh fish and shellfish, choice meats, local produce and the best of what's around.Continued

- it was goodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/31/2014I enjoyed the food and ambiance at The Dutch, but it was very loud and the service was very mediocre. I would still return though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Classy and tastyOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/30/2014This is a brunch/lunch spot in Manhattan fit for foodies, without completely blowing the average joe's weekend budget. There was a culinary edge to the dishes that showed a passion for food beyond the conventional. Great craft beer selection. Compressed juices for health nuts....Nice diversity in the menu... including a rice option (so often missing). Poached Eggs to cry for... Breezy spacious atmosphere and street views for the flaneur. Attentive but not intrusive service. it all added up to being a cut above the typical hemmed in, plaid American NY restaurant brunch experience. Give it a whirl.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/28/2014Our derver, Tiago could not have been better. Suggested the perfect cocktail (the Diamond Cutter), and gave my friend and I a runn down of the extensive raw bar. Perfect girls night.Special Features:
- Dutch doesn't disappoint!soozVIPDined on 8/28/2014Buttermilk fried chicken will be a bit of a wait but for the mouthwatering honey biscuits and spicy slaw sides it is worth it. My friend had the lamb salad- perfect on a hot day for a lighter lunch. All rooms have good ambience- I prefer the front two however, during the cold winter months the back room is comforting and the private dining room ( seats around 16) downstairs with it's own Bar is going right on my list for our next soiree!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Homely setting,always terrific foodFoodwomanVIPDined on 8/25/2014Lively food imagination at work...highly recommended for the delicious foodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Posto carino per gente carinaItalianisulpezzoDined on 8/24/2014Cibo di buona qualità, ma ambiente un po' troppo fighetto. La persona che ci ha accolti piuttosto supponente ed irritata dalla presenza delle mie due ragazze. Potrebbero migliorare l'approccio. Cibo buonoSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine place good food funny serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/24/2014We enjoyed our meal - a thriving place and a fun scene. The service was kind of slow - one waiter seemed to handle the whole room, but did not do much - there was one guy to bring water, another to bring the knives and forks and extra napkin (for lobster) to the table, and yet another with bread - the waiter finally came back to read the specials at length - (not pleasant, given that his breath was not as fresh as it could be). The food was very good- nice fresh lobster in a cold appetizer with a nice light lemony sauce and the New England boil, served with little new potatoes. The beet salad with homemade stracchietella (a type of soft cheese) was also delicious and quite a large portion. Expensive, especially for wine by the glass.
- Good brunchFoodlover1VIPDined on 8/24/2014We had a well balanced blueberry sauce with corn pancakes and lovely eggs with smoked salmon. Coffee was excellent! Of course, location was ideal for strolling in Soho.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nicely done!FoodieDivaVIPDined on 8/24/2014My first time at The Dutch but my friend's hundredth.....now I see why! Great food, good brunch cocktails and a fun crowd. I'll be back!Special Features:

- Going DutchOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/21/2014Wanted a good place to meet with an old friend that had great food in a casual setting. The Dutch certainly fits the bill. Sharp service and well constructed meals. The kimchee rice was terrific as were the oysters. Lots to like here. Vibrant bar scene, the restaurant was open due to good weather. all very nice.Special Features:

- Friendly, energetic, talentedcoast2coastDined on 8/19/2014The dutch was one of few restaurants that I enjoyed in New York. The waiting staff was very professional. They accommodated my son's meal better than other restaurants.Special Features:
- Excellent!StuartVIPDined on 8/19/2014What else can I say, I had high expectations, and they were all met. Food was outstanding, service impeccable and the ambiance was casual yet energetic. Thanks for making my wife's birthday dinner a huge success.Special Features:
- Ladies birthday dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/19/2014Enjoyed a birthday meal with friends; albeit they were late and the manager was kind enough to allow us to hold the table longer than normal. The food is excellent! I had the lamb and it was the best I'd ever have (including home to the middle east and africa!). The key lime and peach pie dessert are also the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved it-To DIE FOR Fried Chicken!LoveitDined on 8/18/2014Loved the Dutch for lunch. What a nice group of staff! Easily and happily sat for our lunch reservation, both ordered the Fried Chicken, which was the best I've ever had in NYC. The fresh squeezed beet juice was pretty slammin' too. Didn't have room for the pie, but it looked really good!Special Features:
- Very, very good!FoodieFanDined on 8/17/2014We had brunch at The Dutch in August 2014. It was our first time there and it was a great experience. We were ten to fifteen minutes late for our reservation and the hostess was generous and accommodating. We were seated quickly and within seconds had a waiter at our table. The service was a notch above spectacular. Attentive, pleasant and accommodating. The food was absolutely yummy....I had the deconstructed Eggs Benny and my daughter had the Dutch burger. Both were very good but the burger was outstanding. This will be a brunch 'go to' when we are lucky enough to find ourselves in NYC.Special Features:
- Yummy brunch, cute sidewalk tabledmacDined on 8/17/2014We enjoyed a lovely brunch at one of their sidewalk tables (there are only two, so you have to luck out to get one). Everything was a cut above the usual - thoughtful dishes that are more refined than the typical brunch fare, attentive and efficient service. They even brought simple syrup for the Stumptown cold-brew iced coffee, which is something that you NEVER see outside a high-end coffee joint.Special Features:
- Elegant hipster-chicAnonymous1Dined on 8/15/2014Outstanding locally sourced, with a spark of life. Well worth a stop, or even a trip from up-town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/12/2014Unfortunately our food took 50 minutes to come out, however the maitre D brought us a complimentary chip/dip while we waited which was nice. I don't think I'd recommend the Dutch for lunch as it simply takes too long for people on a schedule, however it's still a great night spot.Special Features:
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/11/2014The food was absolutely delicious and our server recommended dishes we loved. I would highly recommended this restaurantSpecial Features:
- A disappointmentPSvisitorVIPDined on 8/10/2014It pains me to write this, because by most measures, The Dutch is a wonderful place: a nice ambiance, excellent service, great location. However, on this visit, I was disappointed with the main dish, which was Tilefish. I have ordered this in the past without reservation, but this time, the fish was...well...fishy. I don't know if it was not as fresh as previously experienced, or just a bad piece, but despite the lovely preparation and presentation, the fish itself was not very tasty--in fact, it was downright unpleasant. I do like this restaurant, and would be willing to give it one more try--perhaps it was just a bad batch. But I would be remiss if I were not honest about my reaction to the meal.
- Very nice venue and cocktailsNachomrDined on 8/9/2014The spinach cappelletti were excellent. The eggplant dip was not that great. Loved the cocktails.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous family dinnereclementsDined on 8/8/2014My husband and I took our three children (teen and pre-teens) to meet up with an old friend for dinner at The Dutch on Friday night. Our kids are great restaurant diners and very adventurous eaters, however, I am still always reluctant with new restaurants as the staff may not be friendly towards youngsters or space is often too tight. The Dutch was perfect for our group of 6 on a Friday night. We were greeted with smiles, a friendly waiter, a knowledgeable sommelier who listened and matched our request perfectly, a great ambience and vibe and, best of all, incredible food! The must try dishes are the beef carpaccio (our kids ate 4 or 5 servings!), the Korean Hanger Steak and the Salted Lime Pie. Will be back to try more dishes soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- exceptional raw barThejenVIPDined on 8/8/2014Combinations of varied raw fish with unique tastes! Tomato appetizer also wonderful. Wait staff rather distant & not as attentive as I would like- but will return for wonderful tastesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Fried Chicken!OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/8/2014I had lunch with a friend... we always get the fried chicken. It's one of the best. A little spicy, juicy, and with a great crunch. The accompanying slaw has a kick from jalapenos, and is vinegar based (no mayo). The honeyed biscuits are the cherry on top... buttery, moist and slightly sweet, which pairs well with the spicy chicken.Special Features:
- Fun, yummy but LOUDRobinYogiDined on 8/6/2014Inventive, tasty food. Fun but LOUD ambiance. Definitely a scene.Special Features:
- The DutchNyersLayersDined on 8/4/2014I've heard so much good things about The Dutch and couldn't wait to give it a try. I finally went this week with one of my girl friends, and it certainly lived up to its expectation. I had a glass of dry riesling from the Finger Lakes region, it was fantastic, and very easy to go with any food. We weren't too hungry, so I didn't get to try out too many items on the menu, but I ordered a pasta with black truffle, my friend ordered the BBQ pork, they are both fantastic. The famous Monday Fried Chicken absolutely looks and smells insanely good, that's what I'll try next time. Great restaurant overall.Special Features:
- WonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/4/2014Everything was perfect - the atmosphere, the service, and importantly the food!! Would go back in a heartbeat and will definitely recommend to others!!Special Features:
- Great placeOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/3/2014Food is amazing. If i have to nitpick, the portion size is small.Special Features:
- Lovely dinnerenjoyNYdineDined on 8/2/2014We had dinner on Saturday night, be sure to make reservations. Very extensive winelist and help of a sommelier if you need any. Food was very good and also good portions (not too big). Lamsrack was outstanding. You can also order from the Oyster bar if you're seated in the restaurant. Service was excellent. Nearby are nice bars to continue the evening.Special Features:
- Perfect!MirtilliVIPDined on 8/1/2014Loved everything about The Dutch! Excellent food, service, atmosphere. The pies are out of this world good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loyal customer, but lunch was fairLocaleasterDined on 7/31/2014I love the Dutch and regularly go there for business lunches. But the crab salad was very disappointing the other day. I expected something lean if not spare, but the tablespoon dollop of crab on underdressed greens was wan and flavorless. A surprising disappointment.Special Features:
- Great meal.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/28/2014Recommended by a friend and The Dutch did not disappoint. On Mondays they have a special, "AC Fried Chicken" which comes with salad, slaw, biscuits (apparently the biscuits have won an award) and blueberry pie for dessert. Very generous portions so it was hard to finish but impossible to leave anything on your plate - just too good. Staff was very pleasant, informative and professional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- amazing!K357Dined on 7/25/2014The food was amazing. hint hint fries!!! The staff was very friendly and patient especially when we were indecisive. they were prompt on serving, refilling, and cleaning. and dessert was, of course, the most amazing! we got one of everything and all the plates had favourites and claimers that wanted to lick the plate clean. definitely coming back again!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner at The DutchBarbaraBDined on 7/25/2014I had an outstanding dinner at The Dutch recently. A friend and I had reservations for a Friday night. When we arrived, the restaurant was crowded, but we were seated immediately. Our service was attentive without being intrusive. Although the restaurant is busy and appears loud upon first entering, we were able to easily enjoy our conversation. We were permitted to linger over dinner and never felt rushed. The cocktails are perfectly crafted and the food was delicious! I had the black rigatini with squid and it was superb! Unusually spiced and very tasty. My experience there was delightful and I would be happy to return. I highly recommend it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't be Pushy or Ignore UsDetroitGuestsDined on 7/21/2014Hello - Maybe I walked in with the wrong type of handbag to eat there but the host never smiled and was extremely rude! The bar staff was un-engaging but the drinks were amazing although a bit pricey compared to other high-end cocktails in the city (such as Employees Only.) The waiter was very pushy on the menu order but that didn't bother me as much as my partner. We asked for water 3 times to 3 different people and no one brought it. We left feedback with the manager and he was very kind. The credit card machine wasn't working and they had to scan are card twice which was fine. We thought the atmosphere was a bit pretentious but overall relaxing and we had a great time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mediokerashbornDined on 7/20/2014Menu for brunch very limited. Very overpriced. If you are paying $17 for eggs, throw in a piece of toast! Food was very average. Does not live up to the hype.Special Features:

Syracuse News
March 26, 2012 by NBE Blogger · Leave a Comment
Jim Boeheim just saw his 36th season as head coach Syracuse come to a close in Boston on Saturday night with a 77-70 loss to Ohio State in the NCAA Tournament's East Region final. In those 36 seasons there has been tremendous highs, including three trips to the Final Four culminating in a National Championship in 2003. There has also been tough defeats, including NCAA Tournament losses coming before many would have guessed, like their monumental upset loss at the hands of the 15th seed Richmond Spiders in 1991.
Through it all, Syracuse always bounces back. The Orange has seen a parade of All-Americans and NBA Draft picks come through their program, yet the teams under Boeheim continue to win. SU has won 20 or more games 15 straight seasons and 34 of 36 seasons overall. In the 33 seasons in the BIG EAST a Boeheim-led team has only failed to be .500 or better in the conference twice, in 1980-81 (6-8) and in 2005-06 (7-9) when Gerry McNamara led SU to the Big East Tournament championship.
No season however in his 36 at Syracuse might have been as trying as this past one.
Despite a BIG EAST regular season championship, No. 1 seed and Elite 8 appearance…the past seven months have been anything but ordinary. Some media members have painted the picture of a three-ring circus around Syracuse these days.
Longtime assistant, and Boeheim friend, Bernie Fine was fired in November amid child molestation accusations. Boeheim himself was under fire for his steadfast support of Fine when the allegations were made public, being accussed of intimidating witnesses or other possible victims from coming forward in the media. A Yahoo! Sports report earlier in he month of March alleged that the program had repeatedly violated the school's drug policy when concerning the basketball program. To cap it all off, starting center Fab Melo was deemed ineligible twice, including the school's announcement two days before the NCAA tournament began.
Now the thoughts shift toward next season, in what is almost definitely the final seson Syracuse will compete in the BIG EAST before a move to the ACC becomes a reality. Rock-solid seniors Scoop Jardine and Kris Joseph will graduate from the program and sophomores Fab Melo and Dion Waiters are most likely to hear their names called in the 1st round of the 2012 NCAA Draft later this spring.
Syracuse will not return a double-digit scorer next season, losing their leading scorer (Joseph, 13.4 ppg), leading rebounder (Melo, 5.8 rpg) and leading assist man (Jardine 4.9 apg). Other statistical leaders include Waiters (steals) and Melo (blocks).
So, how will they do it again? Easy…just like they always have.
Syracuse has a style and system in place. Players are waiting in the wings to step forward and assume their spots in the patented 2-3 zone defense Boeheim and the 'Cuse are famous for.
Brandon Triche will assume the leadership role as a senior. On Saturday night Triche hit several big shots down the stretch and that confidence will be a major help as his role becomes more of a scorer next season. The loss of Waiters will be a major void as the sophomore from Philadelphia was ready to emerge as an elite talent in the BIG EAST. However, Michael Carter-Williams has a superb scoring touch and the length and size to be a menace at the top of the zone. Sharp-shooting Trevor Cooney will also be ready to give significant minutes in the backcourt after redshirting this past season.
The forward positions look set with C.J. Fair and James Southerland likely on each block of the zone. Fair will be the player most likely to break out next season on the Orange. The left-hander has a knack around the rim to score and his 15-foot jumper is getting more and more consistent. Consistency is something SU will need more of from Southerland, a 6'8 SF who can knock them down from beyond the arc, but a clear path to playing time and an increased role sometimes does wonders for shooters and is likely to do so for the NYC product. The Orange will also welcome DeMatha (MD) product Jerami Grant to the mix. Grant is another 6-foot-8 forward with length and athleticism that will be ideal in the Syracuse system.
In the middle SU will return Rakeem Christmas and Baye Keita. Each is a bouncy shot-blocker that provided solid minutes throughout the year. They will be bolstered by the addition of Jamesville-Dewitt (NY) wide-body Dajuan Coleman. The 6-foot-8, 280-lb Coleman has the hands, touch and bulk to anchor the middle for SU next season. He will provide the size and be a perfect compliment to the other front court players.
While the players might be changing, Jim Boeheim is still the constant on the sideline. He will mold a new group of faces to look just like the Syracuse teams that reside in the Top 25 each season and near the top of the BIG EAST. It might be the last time we see the Orange in the BIG EAST standings, but you can be certain to pencil them in for 10-12 conference wins, 25 wins overall and a dangerous team come NCAA Tournament time. That you can count on…

Bradley wiggins completed the 2012 tour in 87hrs 34 mins 47 secs. the distance was 2,173 miles. why not have a challenge over this time and see who is our tour winner.run it from say april through to july to allow for people with limited time.all rides count so if commuting to work pedal harder !!!spot prizes could be perhaps everybody must enter a 10/25 mile time trial, announced at will by the admin team or on a must be done by ? basis. a hill climb over a certain height.? once you have clocked 87 hrs-35 min thats you finished, we all end up with the same time but different final distance.what do the rest of you think

A brilliant idea. It sounds a good way to measure ourselves against the worlds best cyclists and have a bit of competition along the way. This would really make me want to ride harder

Hi jez45, I think you have the startings of a good challenge there! Will discuss with the Challenge team when we plan the next few challenges. We have also been thinking about a team Tour challenge...

Great idea. Assume it will be on bicycles outside moving from one place to another? I don't think Wiggo competed on a turbo ;-)
Need a reasonable period of time to do it in

And how do you police that? You will automatically exclude anyone without a GPS which is making it elitist as if you can't afford the toys you cant compete.
And whos to say some sad git wont just drive around in their car at 18 mph with a GPS?
Sorry, I think it's all or nothing.
I prefer cycling outside but a turbo has its place.
Just my 2p.
By Dashik 2 years ago in Challenge Ideas
Most turbos are more expensive than the basic GPS devices. I don't see how you can say one is an elitist toy and the other isn't... Most smart phones come with GPS capability too.
I'm not against turbos (my son uses one for his physio rehab) but you only need to look at the training results from riders using both that they are generally significantly faster on a turbo. Hardly a level playing field (if you can't afford a turbo "toy"). Much easier to "cheat" on a turbo if you're so small-minded to want to do so too.
My point was the more restricitons you place on the challenge the less popular it will become. Also it makes much more work for the mods. I'll need to try and write a bit better :D
I was not differentiating between gps/turbo (at least in my head lol )
I'd Like to think people are better than cheating but....
TBH I'm not too bothered what's decided. If you're on the turbo in the middle of summer (even in the UK ;-) I hope you have a good fan, ;-) I'd always rather be outside enjoying the world going by...
Imdeed :D

Dashic has a very valid point.I use neither Garmin or Polar gps device so I cant upload any GPS files.I am eliminated from any challenge that is GPS file based!
I use I-GOTU to record all outside rides and all indoor work is done via my local gym using the keiser M3 spin bike.On the November challenge I was advised by Bike Radar to chage how I entered my gym work because,unlike turbo work,mine was not accounted for in the end mileage.
You tell me the differance between what you do on the turbos and what I do using an M3?

Why LivingSocial's Instant Deals are a good deal for local merchants.
From The Olive Garden to Outback Steakhouse to Lone Star Steakhouse to The Pancake House (original name, huh?), I did my fair share of serving up grub throughout my high school and college years. Heck, it beat donating plasma. Therefore, I am all too familiar with the infamous dead hours—those awkward in-between-meal hours, say, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., when I was paid $2.15 an hour to stand with the rest of the wait staff, slurp down free soda and attempt to sneak breadsticks.
I can only imagine how happy restaurants (and their servers who stand around folding napkins sans tips) would be if there were a way to drive more business through the doors during these periods. And, if you think about it most local establishments have this issue. I'd venture to say most neighborhood accessory boutiques aren't exactly slammed on a Tuesday at 11 a.m. and I know from experience that the nail salon near my work is packed over the lunch hour, then dies down at around 2 p.m. only to pick up again around 5 p.m. for the after-work crowd. I can't think of much that could be more frustrating for a small business than having to pay employees every day for several hours when they have little more to do than play Sudoku.
That's why I think LivingSocial's new mobile feature is ingenious. The daily deal e-commerce site began testing yesterday Instant Deals, a new feature within in its mobile app that lets users search for deals within a half-mile radius of their current location.
Unlike LivingSocial's usual daily deals, which are live for 24 hours, Instant Deals are live for a short period of time. The goal, LivingSocial says, is to help merchants attract traffic during slow times. For example, a dinner restaurant can increase its sales during a slow afternoon by offering a special deal between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., LivingSocial says.
It's smart because it fights one of the biggest complaints local establishments have about daily deal programs: the revenue they have to give up to participate. A retailer, spa or restaurant offering a $100 voucher for $50 has to share the $50 or so with LivingSocial, getting only $25 for $100 worth of merchandise, food or services. But if the deal is offered only during a time when the customer base is slim to none, as is the case with Instant Deals, well that's a whole different story. After all, some business is better than no business.
It's no secret that the daily-deal space is more crowded than my favorite local deli at lunch hour. But if this feature from LivingSocial can help that deli bring a dozen hungry patrons at 3 p.m. when the order counter is empty, I'd venture to say it would be eager to sign on.
It's out-of-the box thinking like this that will separate winners from the losers in the daily-deal arena. Right now it's a battle between Groupon and LivingSocial as No. 1 and No. 2. Point: LivingSocial.

Last January I purchased a domain through Snapnames, and the registrar is TopSystem.
Last October I received an email from Snapnames stating that they were terminating their agreement with TopSystem. While the email did not state clearly their reasons for doing so, they did strongly advise transferring any domains away from this registrar well before expiry.
Unfortunately I did not follow their advice, and sure enough it appears that now TopSystem has completely wiped away all Whois contact information on my domain. They have also conveniently denied my transfer-away request, which did occur before expiry.
Will contacting ICANN directly regarding this matter help?
Does anyone else have any advice in the matter?
By the way, avoid Topsystem at all costs.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - A new Mahoning County commissioner made his first appearance for official business on Monday.
David Ditzler joined commissioners Carol Rimedio-Righetti and Anthony Traficanti.
Ditzler says he will focus on finding funding for the county sheriff's department and prosecutor's office.
"Our concern is public safety. Once we make Mahoning County the safest place that we can, then we can invite different opportunities with economic development, more people, more families," Ditzler said.
Another of Ditzler's goals is to make county commissioners and other officials more accessible to the public.
Ditzler says he would like commissioners meetings to be held at locations throughout the county in addition to downtown Youngstown.

JEFFERSONVILLE, IN (WAVE) – Sentencing was held Monday for a man who took a plea deal in a road rage beating case.
Because his charges were dropped to misdemeanors, Michael Shelby was given three years probation and ordered to pay $100,000 in restitution.
Investigators say in November 2010, a couple drove down 10th Street in Jeffersonville when they ran into some car trouble.
They were going well under the speed limit when Shelby and a juvenile pulled up beside the couple and started screaming at them. When the couple pulled off the street, Shelby and the juvenile followed.
When the man inside the car got out to talk to the juvenile police said Shelby beat him. The victim lost several teeth, suffered severe head injuries and broke his nose.
If Shelby gets into trouble while on probation he could do jail time.

A golden amber pour with a medium but rich white head. The nose is smei-sweet with bubblegum hints and a noticeable yest quality. Light fruit notes as well. The taste is well balance with once again the bubblegum sweetness and light fruit notes....did i detect a pinch of coconut?...anyway, the taste reminds me somewhat of Leffe Blond, based on memory. The mouthfeel is very smooth and full. Lots of lively bubbles the whole way through with a dry-ish finish. An easy drinker but not overly complex or fullfilling.

Servingdate: 2009-02-24. Served in snifter.
Presentation: 330 ml bottle with freshness date on the label (best before end of 2010).
Appearance: Pours a brownish amber color with a lightly yellow shaded 1 cm head that settles after a while but leaves some decent lacings. First pour is clear, but a rather aggressive second pour with more or less all of the yeast going into the glass makes the beer rather cloudy.
Smell: Lots of fruity aromas - most are on the sweet side, but some are slightly tart. Grainy malts, a general candy-like smell and some light phenols. The alcohol lurks in the background.
Taste: Resembles to a large extent the smell. Plenty of vinous fruits (ripe apples, redcurrants), white bread, caramel malts, a touch of honey, some spices, candy and restrained yeast. It goes a little tart in the middle. A rather noticeable taste of alcohol. The gently bitter finish contains more malt, a taste of white pepper, a twang from the alcohol, and leaves a slightly dry sensation in the mouth. I must say, although the alcohol isn't completely overpowering, it's still rather prominent and sometimes overshadows the other flavors.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, a bit too light if you'd ask me. Moderate carbonation with gentle bubbles.
Drinkability: This is a good beer, but not great, and considering the expectations that one generally have on Trappist beers, I keep finding myself thinking that it's just ok. It is surprisingly restrained for a Belgian Tripel, and not as complex as many other comparable Trappists. It's simply just not that interesting. Also, considering it's generally restrained character, it tastes slightly to much of alcohol. I'm not saying that it gets boozy - it just lacks some big flavors to back up the alcohol. However, in the end it is still a good tasting beer and I would like especially like to mention the composition of the sweeter components in it since I found them very pleasant.

Pours a very ruddy, light copper color with sediment galore floating around. Great frothy head that sticks around for company.
Smells of fruitiness, bananas, bready, yeast, and alcohol...lots of other stuff going on.
Tastes of more fruitiness, bananas, breadiness, yeast, dark fruits, white grapes, some alcohol but not as much as in the nose. Very complex and tasty. Not a typical tripel but dayum tasty!
Mouthfeel is fluffy and velvety and well carbonated.
This beer is very drinkable based on taste alone...just watch out, this one is a sipper. That 8.0% abv creep up on you.
Koningshoeven doesn't dissapoint.

750ml bottle poured into a New Belgium snifter.
A - Very dense 2.5 finger of off-white foam that lasts forever. Apricot orange and cloudy. Held to a light, sunset orange and moderately opaque.
S - Bready malts, toffee, hints of banana/clove, bubblegum, and citrus. Very pleasant nose.
T - Alcohol is pronounced; it's almost astringent and a tad sour. Lightly toasted malts, caramel, toffee notes with a hint of butterscotch as it warms. There's also a touch of spice in the background. Given how much I enjoyed the nose of this, the taste is a letdown.
M - Noticeably thinner than expected. Not much carbonation given the dense head. Decent structure, but not much body or finish.
O - Perhaps this bottle is off, but not so much that it's clear it is, especially since this is my first bottle from this brewery. The alcohol is too forward and disconnected, so it gets in the way of enjoying the flavors. There are definitely much better Trappist tripels. I might give this one another try should I run across it on tap, but it's not a selection I'll seek out.

Presentation: 11.2 oz slender euro style brown bottle with raised glass above the label. No freshness date.
Appearance: Lightly reddish amber with a patchy Brussels lace, this samples was a tad hazy due to the sediment that was not well settled, this is not a bad thing.
Smell: Bready sweet with hints of nutty yeast and fresh baked bread, mildly phenolic.
Taste: Smooth mouth feel and a crisp carbonation that hold together its medium build. Mild phenolic (peppery and herbal) but not as distinctive as other tripels, raw characters of wild honey and grape like fruity yeast are marks for the complex flavours. Hops are indistinct though still help to balance, alcohol is well formed and not interfering to throw things out of kilter. As the alcohol warms a mild twang from the earthy yeast and the beer dries more and more towards the finish.
Notes: More of a laid back tripel resting at 8% abv and with a milder character than others, still a very respectable brew. A perfect accompaniment with a goat cheese spread and whole wheat crackers.

Pours a slightly hazed, bright apricot body with a small offwhite head that quickly falls into a film and collar. Very minimal lace.
Aroma is subdued, with coriander and a hint of tropical fruits like pineapple and mango.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.
Taste begins with tropical fruit and rock candy sweetness. Earthy yeast kicks in quite early and provides a prominent dryness that stays to the finish. Spices are subdued, with a note of coriander.
Basically an average tripel, but solid for style. I preferred their dubbel, in terms of overall drinkability and character.

The 11.2 ouncer I tried said "Koningshoevan Tripel", the label is otherwise identical to the one shown in the photo, maybe some new labeling going on...anyway this tasty treat poured an amber cloudy color, white head, a fair amount of yeasty sediment in the bottle. Leaves not much lace, nose is nutty and yeasty. Rounded body, nice clove notes,spicy and and more nutty flavors. Pleasant tripel, went well with a few nuts and some bread and cheese.

La Trappe - a beer that only recently arrived in my part of the world, but based on the label and number of places it appeared in at once, it must be a fairly commercial brewery by Trappist standards. Best before end 02-2009.
Appearance: Pours a beautiful warm amber-copper colour, reasonably clear with a delicate beige head. This gets such a high score for appearance because it was both what I expect from a good Tripel as well as exceeding my expectations for this beer. And it was just what I wanted, too!
Smell: There's something funky about this - I hope it's not my glass, I just washed that. I noticed something strange about the bottle smell too. I hope it was just something crusty on the lip of the bottle or something, i.e. it won't affect the other three of the four-pack! As I swirl it around I get the tripel aromas I was looking for. Candied sugar, honey, rich malt, maybe even pear. Still, this bottle smells funny so it can't score too highly.
Taste: Not affected too adversely by the smells. At the same time, not as complex as I would have liked. A nice honeycomb/candied sugar effect on the palate, working its way into the nostrils even! The ester must have a pretty long hydrocarbon tail. Wa-hay. Pungent sour apple flavours on the tip of the tongue and strangely, around my gums. Maybe that's the carbonation or something, but it works. Overall I'm pretty impressed, but that lingering solvent-like aroma is spoiling things just a bit. (By the way, there's no soap or anything in my glass. I rinsed it a billion times with hot water. It's something about the bottle - hopefully it'll improve by the next one - if so, I'll edit and update at the end of the review).
Mouthfeel: A little watery - would have liked it a bit more viscous and honey-like to add to the Tripel mystique.
Drinkability: Very easy to drink. I only just looked at the 8% abv now, I knew it would be kinda strong, but the 8% is very deceptive. It's a friendly beer, makes you want to knock it back and grab another one. This would be a fun few beers to bring to a party to get that baby started. In short, it goes down great.
Overall: Pretty complex, pity about this one bottle - I'm sure it can't have that weird smell to every bottle. I like it - definitely not the best (not many Tripels, or beers for that matter, can improve on Westmalle Tripel) but a strong contender and a bargain for the price. For the price of two Westmalles, you can get four of these... Guess it depends on how big a celebration it is - and what you're celebrating!
(P.S. It was just the bottle. The next bottle I had didn't have the strange skunky smell, so I would have given it 4.0. I am pleased, because S = 3.5 was generous for the one reviewed above.)

Large bottle picked up at the LCBO.
Poured into a fluted pilsner glass. Darker than many a tripel I've come across, pushing in to light amber territory. Hazy, with a large frothy head. Good lacing, retention.
Nose is light fruit (pear, lemon, peach), yeast.
Solid tripel, a bit standard, but certainly highly enjoyable. Paired nicely with some bbq rainbow trout and basmati. Light, citrusy, airy, a bit of yeast and pale Belgian malt. Finishes quite dry. Strong carbonation, dry feeling on the tongue.
If you're looking for a solid tripel, look no further. (One benefit of the LCBO is that this brew is fairly cheap ($6.45 for the bomber), so it's a good brew to try.) There are other nicer, more complex tripels to be had out there, Belgian, Canadian, American or otherwise, but this is no slouch. Another fine trappist ale.

Poured a murky , brownish orange , with a small layer of whitish foam for a head. The aroma is yeasty , a bit sweet with fruity notes , slight banana and citrus/ pineapple , even a hint at coconut oil. The taste is a fresh and yeasty mix of sweet malts , mild fruity flavor , some tartness near the powdery dry finish. Hops flavors balance the sweet malt with a slight spicyness. Also just a little bit of phenolic touch. A lightly carbonated mouthfeel , dry finish. I found it to be quite drinkable , just a little less complex than alot of tripels that iv'e had. The nose however was quite complex imo. Worth a try.

Came caged and cork in a brown 750ml bottle. Pured a deep copper with a cranberry hue and a creamy 2 finger head, dissipating slowly, leaving considerable lacing. A caldera of bubbles rose through the center for almost the entire first pour, into a Delirium Tremens tulip.
The bouquet offers yeast and a strong, yet clean, herbal aroma, slightly grassy and resembling wet leaves in autumn.
The taste consists of subtel malts and yeast, with strong fruit overtones--dominated by apple and pear, and a note caramel. The hops remain suggestively in the back, no trace of bitterness. Fruit dominates, and the flavor is almost all but devoid of spice.
The mouth is light--considerably lightweight comapred to many other Tripels-- and lively: acidic on the front palate, with the heavy but enjoyable fruit finish.
The drinability is high. Multiple bottles could easily be consumed in a sitting. A very enjoyble ale overall from the Dutch.

A) Golden Brown with light cloudiness. high carbonation gives a large, light head that recedes into a thick froth that lasted to the end.
S) Light aroma that is a combination of banana and clove
T) Strong sweet clove taste that eventually gives way to a strong aftertaste
M) Very smooth feel with a good balance of carbonation
D) Extremely drinkable and would definitely have another but don't feel I could drink it all the time, but absolutely worth trying.

Appearance: Light frothy head, reduced to lacing quite soon. But I deliberately did not create a large head. Colour is amber, lively carbonation creates interesting patterns in lacing
Smell: faint and not very distinctive
Taste: Smooth, rounded but nothing stands out. Not really any definable characteristics.
Mouthfeel: A little too much carbonation. A pleasant warmimg sensation in the throat.
Overall: This tasting was a bit disappointing. I had a bottle last night and liked it. Today it seems one dimensional and simply okay.

Hazy pale orangey color, thin head that lasts awhile. Vague aroma, slightly berry. Lacks the oomph of the Quadrupel and has a more pronounced grape/wine flavor than a berry-like character. After taste is very pleasant. Refreshing but not super memorable within this style. But then, I'm only mildy a fan of Belgian Ales.

Bottle purchased from Green's on Ponce in Atlanta.
Pours a dark golden color with a half-finger white head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving light lacing.
Smells of sweet and syrupy pears with good amounts of candi sugar and hints of light malts.
Tastes good. Sweet light malts with hints of biscuit-like flavors kick things off. Shortly thereafter syrupy pear flavors come into play and sweeten until midway through the sip. The ending is crisp and on the sweet side.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with active carbonation.
Drinkability is also good. I finished my glass without a problem and could have another.
Overall this is a solid tripel with a nice malt base. Not as crisp or flavorful as the best of the style but still worth a shot.

Teddington's Osagie's medal upgrade a bitter sweet moment (From Richmond and Twickenham Times)

Teddington's Osagie's medal upgrade a bitter sweet moment
Updated 9:04am Tuesday 11th March 2014 in Sport By Ziad Chaudry
St Mary's University's Andrew Osagie described his upgrade to bronze medal following the qualification of his friend Marcin Lewandowski after the men's 800m final at the World Indoor Athletics Championships on Saturday as a bitter sweet moment.
The 25-year-old finished fourth in one minute 47.10 seconds - one-hundredth of a second behind Lewandowski - but knew during the race the Polish hometown favourite committed a lane violation for stepping into the infield.
Luckily Osagie was later awarded the bronze medal, repeating the feat from two years ago in Istanbul, after Team GB successfully appealed against the result.
"I was in fifth place with less than 100m to go and I saw him step off the track and athletes instinct was that's not allowed," Osagie said.
"I know the rules because I got done at the national championships this year.
"It was the technical staff in my team that confirmed [the protest] and it was in the officials and judges hands to see it how I saw it. I didn't make the decision, I just used my eyes.
"Tactically, I didn't run that well in the final and apart from the medal, which was from the DQ of somebody else, I haven't got a lot of positives to take away from the final.
"It's very bitter sweet because I get on with Marcin [Lewandowski] very well on and off the track so it's going to be a bit awkward from now."
Ethiopia's Mohammed Aman retained his title in 1:46.40 to add to the outdoor version after edging out Poland's Adam Kszczot.

Parents in the Pine Oaks Mobile Home Park are feeling the shock of what happened here today.
"All of a sudden we heard a woman screaming and my little girl, my oldest girl turned to me and hollered at me. And when I got down there the child was blue. And the mama was screaming, 'oh god, please no, oh lord help me, help me please'," said neighbor Tonya Smith.
The family had reported the little boy missing around 2:15 p.m. Tuesday, but it was shortly after that call that they made the horrific discovery. The boy's body was inside the car parked outside the home. The death assumed to be heat related. Difficult for the parents in this neighborhood to even think about.
"I don't want to put myself in that place, and I'm sorry that they are going to be in that situation cause I guarantee you, they are in something that no one needs to go through," says neighbor Kenny Smith.
Police are not releasing the family's or the child's. The body was taken to the state Department of Forensic Sciences for an autopsy. Officials results may take up to six months.

Exactly as we've been predicting
for the past month, this
is turning out to be an exceptionally
dry February - one of
the driest on record in central
and eastern New York.
All those days at the beginning of this month, when Montana was consistently warmer than Georgia and the Carolinas, combined with the strong winds last Thursday, set into motion an extraordinarily dry and sunny weather pattern.
During the first 17 days of February there's been measurable precipitation on only four days, and with only a third of an inch of precipitation, that's about 15percent of normal. Even more remarkable is the fact that we got little more than a trace of snow for the month, through Wednesday morning, February 18.
Since we'll miss most of the precipitation as a series of storm systems miss our area to the north and to the south during the upcoming week, there's an excellent chance that this will turn out to be the least-snowiest February ever recorded in our area.
On Friday a storm system will lift northward to Quebec, and strong northwesterly winds will bring colder air; with variable cloudiness and a few snow showers highs will be in the upper 20's.
The northwest flow will also reinforce the dry weather pattern, with partly sunny skies and highs in the mid-30's on Saturday.
As a storm system tracks well to our south across the mid-Atlantic states and out to sea to the east of the Virginia coast on Sunday, we'll get intervals of clouds and sunshine, a few snow showers and highs from 25 to 30 degrees.
With a large upper-level trough in place over eastern Canada and a northwest flow at the surface and aloft, skies will be partly sunny on Monday and Tuesday with highs in the low 30's.

The Nashua Company who built the Indian Head Mills in Cordova left a mark forever on the town. The work began with ground-breaking in 1896. The first cotton was put into the Mill on Jan. 24, 1898. Many things happened before this took place. I will go back to the parent company in Nashua, New Hampshire and the choice of the location as well as the name given the mill.
Nashua was an early textile company in New Hampshire. The Indians were still around and the story is told that there were many battles with the Indians as the people moved into the area and started towns and communities. The ending of one story is that a battle resulted in the loss of all life in the Indian group except one. In defiance he carved an Indian head on a tree as a taunt and a threat of vengeance.
When the Nashua Mfg. Company began its operation in the young town about a hundred years later, the Indian story was still being retold. The company decided to use the name "Indian Head" on one of their new products. It was in the year 1831, that Nashua created new sheeting which was destined to be known to the far ends of the world as a fabric of merit. At first it was called "Jackson" for one of its founders, but most people thought it was named for Andrew Jackson and so Nashua decided to change the name. Thus Indian Head was born and the fabric to bear the name continued for many years.
It has been attributed to the far sightedness of Captain B.M. Long, and through his efforts that Eastern capital was induced to build the Indian Head Mills of Alabama at Cordova. These capitalists had been textile manufacturers in the East for many years. They saw the advantages of having a mill in the South near the cotton fields and coal mines.
The first cloth was taken from the loom on February 8, 1898. The mill had been built and equipped to make sheeting for the China trade. However, that trade soon ended and the mill changed to domestic sheeting, drills, and flannels. The sheetings, which carry the name "Indian Head," Were grey and also bleached, dyed and printed. The grey sheetings is said to have been used by housewives in every civilized country. The drill fabric was used principally for shoe linings. Flannels went to China for years to make into clothes, but in this country it was used to make gloves with fleeced linings.
The mill operated 28,112 spindles, 880 looms, and consumed 20,000 bales of cotton, and employed early on about 800 people.
The water supply, which is one of the most important features to be considered for a mill, was taken from the Warrior River, pumped one and one quarter miles from the reservoir which had a capacity of 3,000,000 gallons. The drinking water was taken from the same source but handled a different way. It was filtered and treated with Chlorine gas to make it perfectly pure. Each week a sample of drinking water was taken from several sources throughout the mill and village, and sent to the State Laboratory for testing.
The health of the village was in charge of a trained nurse, who made a visit to each home once a month. A day nursery kept open house the year round, and took charge of 40-60 children from three months to school age. A capable matron was in charge with several helpers. A kindergarten school was run nine months, having classes of about 40 children. A free library was set up for the children. The Indian Head School building of ten rooms was used by the town children as well as the mill children. The grades were first through fifth. It was owned by the mill but supervised by the Walker County Board of Education.
The mill also ran a hotel for its employees. The building was steam heated, equipped with shower baths, and automatic sprinklers for fire protection. Bands, movies, clubs, and several other forms of amusement were encouraged and paid for by the mill. Each Christmas, a present was given to each child.
The cotton used in the mill was bought locally as long as possible, but some grades were not grown in Alabama. The mill owned its own coal mine and operated by steam. One hundred thirty tenement houses were built for employees. They had running water, bats and electric lights. Rental was $2.00 per room per month. Coal was delivered to the door at company cost. Every effort was made by the company to make life as good as they could for the period of history.

Made my res. through Travelocity. I worked all night, so I needed a late checkout of 3:00. Travelocity contacted hotel and said no problem. They also put a note in my res. Instead, I get thrown out at 11:00. Front desk says no arrangements were made. He asks me if I think I should trust Travelocity to do anything right. He then proceeds to tell about his business model with Travelocity and how he only gets peanuts from their reservations. Next time he says to call him direct to get it done right. He didn't honor the arrangements that were made and then lectures me on what a lousy company Travelocity is!

EDIT 2/4: Reviving this thread for the match today. A Tiote-less Cote d'Ivoire faces Equatorial Guinea, the team that knocked Senegal out, at 1900 GMT. To follow this and other games, make sure you check out SBN's coverage of the AFCON. If Cote d'Ivoire loses today, Tiote comes home and gets to play against Spurs. If not...we'll have to wait until February 25 to see him again. Since Cheik isn't going to be playing, I assume we're all on board with rooting against the Ivorians...
Newcastle have 3 players participating in the Africa Cup of Nations this year: Ivorian Cheik Tiote and Senegalese players Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse. We will be tracking these two nations, both favorites to reach the final, as they progress through the tournament. Newcastle supporters are in the unique position of hoping their players do well while their teams do not - the longer they stay alive, the longer they stay away from the Toon.
Howay the lads?
Cote d'Ivoire vs. Equatorial Guinea
Winner plays winner of Gabon vs. Mali.

The Family-to-Family Education Program
The Family-to-Family Education Program is a Free 12 session course on mental illness that includes ways to understand the illness and how to help the person who has the illness. It also helps the family overcome the difficulties of living with severe mental illness.
The 12 week curriculum focuses on five major psychiatric illnesses (Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder, Major Depression, Obsessive Compulsive disorder, and Panic disorder).
This highly effective and widely praised education course developed by NAMI member Dr. Joyce Burland of Vermont has been attended by more than 3200 family members across North Carolina. An important aspect of the course is that it is taught by specially trained family members who have "been there".

Mentors are trained in weekend-long training sessions, supplied with teaching manuals, and are paid a stipend for each course they teach.
Participants come away from the course with a binder of hand-out materials, as well as many other tangible resources: an advance directive; a "relapse prevention plan" to help identify tell-tale feelings, thoughts, behavior, or events that may warn of impending relapse and to organize for intervention; mindfulness exercises to help focus and calm thinking; and survival skills for working with providers and the general public.

This course teaches the parent that mental illness is a biological brain disorder and covers ADHD, ODD, CD, Major Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Schizophrenia, OCD and Substance Use Disorders. Participants will also learn about available treatments, systems involved with your child, skills to use within the family to help improve communication, problem solving, handling challenging behavior, and a crisis preparation and relapse plan will be developed.

Best Colon Cleanse . . . part 7 of 9 on ELIMINATION
I love Arise & Shine, which I think is the best colon cleanse on the market. Don't underestimate it—it's a commitment! I don't think anyone should do it for just a week. Often the rubbery, mucoid plaque (described and shown in hundreds of photos by Dr. Anderson, Dr. Jensen, and many others) doesn't even START coming out until Day 7. You wouldn't want to stop just as you're getting results, even if you have to slow down the cleanse by eating a bit more. Keep what you DO eat to blended raw plant foods or a green salad (no commercial salad dressings or vinegar).
If you want to read about it, buy Dr. Richard Anderson's Cleanse and Purify Thyself books, parts 1 and 2. They detail how he came up with the formulas for cleansing that resulted in these products. Most of the photos, someone is holding up what was eliminated with tongs, or a stick–this is NOT just the herbal material you use in the cleanse being eliminated! (You like how I warmed you up to this topic for a week before hitting you with the big whammy?!)
You can actually tell by the shape and striations in the eliminated mucoid plaque what part of the digestive tract it came from! You know you're really deep cleansing when 2 quarts of water goes in during your home colonic (instead of 1/2 a quart or less–typical of people eating the S.A.D. the first several days of cleansing), and what is coming out has the striations and shape of the small intestine towards the end of your cleanse!
My husband just says, "Cleansing is GROSS!" and runs away. I think what's "gross" is to leave this stuff inside us, never clean it out, and/or go back to how we were eating that we got plugged up with in the first place.
I have done this best colon cleanse three times–never had the crazy results I did after the first one, though, which cleansed 30 years of buildup, part of which was eating the S.A.D. That first cleanse provided motivation to keep my colon clean for LIFE. I was astonished each time I cleansed that I had loads of energy despite being hungry and was well supported by the nutritional herbs despite eating less than 800 calories daily. I exercised my usual 1 hour daily, worked, ran the kids around, cooked meals, did everything I normally did–and needed even less sleep than usual. That said, I think we should do deep cleansing only very occasionally, as it can be a bit invasive and stressful. Some people take it too far.
Some won't be ready for some of what Dr. Richard Anderson and others who have experienced deep cleansing have to say. For instance, about how negative thoughts, emotions, and experiences are trapped in our proteins, and as mucoid plaque builds up throughout our vast lengths of intestines and colon, we retain those negatives in rather physical ways. It's theory and I find nowhere that "proves" it. I rolled my eyes a bit when I first read it. But, only someone who has released all that stuff can speak to the very real spiritual and psychological power (joy, even) of letting go of decades' worth of negatives–harbored resentments and toxic anger. My first cleanse was honestly one of the singular experiences of my life: powerful, unforgettable, wholly positive.
