Wakefield's Saturday start a milestone
Boston (83-57) at Texas (69-73), Saturday, 8:05 p.m. ET
ARLINGTON -- Tim Wakefield will pitch his 500th game for the Red Sox on Saturday.Bob Stanley is the only other pitcher in club history to appear in at least 500 games with 637 to his credit. Wakefield will become the first pitcher in club history to start at least 350 of his 500 outings with the Red Sox, and the 23rd pitcher to reach those milestones with one team in Major League history. Suffice it is to say, Wakefield has been a mainstay for the Red Sox since joining the club in 1995. Mark Kotsay, on the other hand, has been with the Red Sox for only eight games. While he may be out of the lineup on Saturday with left-hander Matt Harrison going on the mound for Texas, Kotsay has proven invaluable to a Boston team that's been decimated by injuries but is just 2 1/2 games behind Tampa Bay in the American League East. "We're happy with him," manager Terry Francona said. "Where he hits -- we feel like he could hit anywhere." Francona proved that Friday when he put Kotsay in the cleanup spot. And entering Saturday, Kotsay has played in all but one game since joining the club. He's primarily filled in as the club's right fielder with J.D. Drew battling a herniated disc in his back. However, in the past two games, Kotsay has played first base with Kevin Youkilis missing Wednesday's game with back spasms and Friday's game due to personal reasons. With as many injuries as Francona has had to work around, a healthy Kotsay, whose battled his own share of injuries in the past, has been a welcome addition. "He's played all but one game, so there's not a whole lot of adjusting he's had to do," Francona said. "He's been a pleasure for us. He's done a great job of acclimating himself to the club." Pitching matchup
BOS: RHP Tim Wakefield (8-9, 3.76 ERA)
Wakefield did his part against the mighty White Sox lineup his last time out, holding Chicago to three runs on six hits in six innings of work on Sunday. After allowing two runs in the first, Wakefield blanked the South Siders over the next four innings -- giving Boston more than enough leeway to claim victory. Unfortunately for the veteran knuckleballer, the Sox were unable to get their bats going and he suffered the loss. Wakefield takes on Texas this time around, a team he defeated in a 6-5 win on April 20. TEX: LHP Matt Harrison (6-3, 5.73 ERA)
Harrison threw two flawless innings Monday, which makes the other 3 2/3 that much more disappointing. In 5 2/3 innings, Harrison allowed five runs (four earned) on 10 hits, despite not walking a batter for the second time this season and striking out three. Harrison was handed a two-run lead going into the sixth, but turned around and allowed a run on three hits before getting pulled. He wasn't alone, as the Mariners tacked on 10 more hits and seven more runs off the bullpen. Harrison will try to lower his 5.26 home ERA Sunday against the Red Sox, whom he has yet to face. Tidbits
Only 45 pitchers in Major League history before Wakefield have pitched in at least 500 games with one club. Only seven active players have pitched in 500 games for one team: Trevor Hoffman with the Padres, Mariano Rivera with the Yankees, Eddie Guardado with the Twins, Troy Percival with the Angels, Kenny Rogers with the Rangers and Tom Glavine with the Braves. Of Wakefield's 500 appearances with Boston, more than 350 have been starts. Only Glavine and John Smoltz have reached those milestones among active pitchers. Twenty retired pitchers have also reached those milestones. In his career against Texas, Wakefield is 10-14 with a 5.66 ERA in 32 appearances, spanning 162 1/3 innings. Tickets

With no established front-runners in Monday's Grade II San Gabriel Stakes, the question is, who will set the pace in the mile and one eighth turf race?
Could it be favored Jeranimo, or will it be The Usual Q.T., who will be making his first start in more than seven months?
"We've got some speed if we want to use it, but it's a mile and an eighth," said Jim Cassidy, trainer of The Usual Q.T. "But being off since last May, he's going to be fresh, so he'll be pulling early. As the race draws a little closer, I'll examine the past performances a little closer.
"Somebody will inherit the lead. I don't necessarily think it will be me, but somebody will be out there. Somebody's going to try and steal it."
Victor Espinoza, who has ridden The Usual Q.T. 15 times in his 22-race career, the last 14 in a row, was not committed to pre-race strategy.
"We'll see what happens when the gates open," Espinoza said. "He hasn't run for a while and I don't know how the race is going to set up but I just want to let him do his thing and go from there."
The field for the San Gabriel: Sandor, Corey Nakatani; Ashtar, Kevin Krigger; Norvsky, Rafael Bejarano; Jeranimo, Martin Garcia; The Usual Q.T., Victor Espinoza; and Imponente Purse, Chantal Sutherland.
Santa Anita will offer bargain concession fare on Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, with $2 beers, hot dogs and soft drinks. First post time is 12:30 p.m.
Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Amazombie, a finalist for an Eclipse Award as outstanding sprinter, worked six furlongs before sun up on Santa Anita Anita's fast main track Saturday in 1:15.60.
"He started slow but finished fast," said trainer Bill Spawr, adding that "I'm not sure I'm running (in next Saturday's Grade II Palos Verdes Stakes at six furlongs)."
Regular rider Mike Smith will be aboard Amazombie if he runs in the Palos Verdes. Smith has ridden the California-bred son of Northern Afleet in 16 of his 23 career races, the last five in a row, including the Breeders' Cup Sprint.
Smith will be a member of Spawr's party that will attend Monday night's dinner at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel at which the Eclipse Award winners will be announced. The 46-year-old Hall of Fame jockey is hopeful Amazombie is named champion sprinter, but has learned not to be overconfident.
"I thought I was going to win that a few times and didn't, with some other horses, not to mention their names," Smith said, chuckling, "so you never know. But boy, Amazombie sure deserves it, so hopefully we get it."
Probable for the Palos Verdes: Amazombie, Mike Smith; Courtside, Joel Rosario; Euroears, no rider; and M One Rifle, Joe Talamo. Possible: Frumious, Galientos, Mensa Heat and Sway Away.
Even though he led all trainers in purse earnings last year with more than $17 million, Todd Pletcher summarily dismissed any hopes of winning an Eclipse Award as outstanding trainer of 2011 over other finalists Bob Baffert and Bill Mott.
"I don't think I have ANY chance whatsoever," Pletcher said by phone. "From everything I've read so far, the dozen or so reporters who have cast their ballots on line or in articles, it's very closely split between Mott and Baffert." Reminded that his horses did out-earn both Baffert and Mott in addition to wins leader Steve Asmussen, Pletcher readily took solace with that achievement.
"I'll take the money title over the award any day," he said.
One might characterize Ultrafleet as the "queen of the hill" in terms of broodmares, points out Jon White, who makes Santa Anita's morning line and provides television commentary from the paddock for the track's simulcast network.
"What Ultrafleet has accomplished as a broodmare in terms of Santa Anita's unique hillside course is remarkable," White said. "Ultrafleet has had three offspring race down the hill and they are a combined 13 for 17. The three are Cambiocorsa, California Flag and Platinum Mine.
"Cambiocorsa, who now is a broodmare, won the first eight times she raced down the hill and wound up eight for 10. California Flag is four for six down the hill, including a win in the 2009 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint. Platinum Mine is one for one down the hill. And Vader will become the fourth horse out of Ultrafleet to run down the hill in the first race Sunday."
Vader, a son of Grade I Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner and Eclipse Award recipient Vindication, will be making his second career start Sunday. He finished ninth when making his debut in a grass sprint at the Hollywood Park fall meet for trainer Brian Koriner, who conditions California Flag.
"It will not be surprising if Vader runs better Sunday with a race under his belt," White said. "And you certainly have to say he's bred to love the hill."
An additional note on Cambiocorsa—she is the dam of the Mike Puype-conditioned Vionnete, winner of last Sunday's sixth race, a maiden special weight run at (you guessed it) 6 ½ furlongs down the hillside turf course.
FINISH LINES: Santa Anita Handicap winner and Eclipse Award finalist for Older Male Game on Dude worked six furlongs on Santa Anita's fast main track Saturday in company with Star Presence. Martin Garcia was aboard Game on Dude, who is ticketed for the Grade II San Antonio Stakes on Feb. 5 in his first start since finishing second in the Breeders' Cup Classic last Nov. 5. Game on Dude was clocked in a bullet 1:12.60, fastest of 19 drills at the distance, while Star Presence was clocked in 1:14.80 . . . Eoin Harty reports that leading Triple Crown candidate Out of Bounds is doing well as he prepares for the Grade II San Felipe Stakes on March 10. The trainer hopes to have Garrett Gomez back aboard the son of Discreet Cat for the San Felipe despite the fact that Gomez underwent surgery for a broken left heel on Thursday and is expected to be sidelined four to six weeks. "I'll have to see how Garrett's doing," Harty said, "but I won't have any trouble getting a rider." . . . Congratulations to Santa Anita's current riding leader, Joel Rosario, on the occasion of his 27th birthday today. Rosario is scheduled to work unbeaten Cat's Cradle Handicap winner Tiz Flirtatious at Santa Anita Sunday for trainer Marty Jones as the California-bred daughter of Tizbud prepares for next Sunday's Grade II La Caňada Stakes for 4-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles. Other candidates include Railbird winner May Day Rose and Raven Run winner Great Hot, who will be ridden by Chantal Sutherland . . . With 166 players falling by the wayside backing 11-10 favorite Woebegone in Friday's second race in which she finished fourth of five, 326 contestants remained alive in Santa Anita's on line handicapping contest, ShowVivor, going into Saturday . . . Corey Nakatani has been suspended three racing days (Jan. 22, 26 and 27) for causing interference into the Club House turn aboard Strasbourg in last Sunday's seventh race.

North Texas head coach Dan McCarney, 58, has been hospitalized and is currently undergoing a "battery of tests," according to a statement from the school. The release also said "the exact cause and nature of the symptoms of his illness are not immediately known by us at this time." There has been speculation that he had a stroke, which was fueled by a tweet from Iowa State women's basketball coach Bill Fennelly. McCarney was previously the football coach at Iowa State from 1996-2006 before being hired by North Texas in 2011.
Please keep Dan McCarney in your thoughts and prayers after a recent stroke-no better people than he and his wife Margy!— Bill Fennelly (@ISUCoachFen) February 13, 2012
McCarney helped turn the Mean Green from a team that went 3-9 the year before he was hired into one that went 5-7, including 4-4 in the Sun Belt Conference. North Texas closed out its 2011 season with a 59-7 victory over Middle Tennessee.

Opening Day of the baseball season. It should be a national holiday. At the very least I always take the day off work. It's a special day when every true baseball fan wants to be at the ballpark. So it's understandable that teams, including the Atlanta Braves, make tickets to that game more expensive than other games. It's also understandable, though massively frustrating, that the Braves make you buy a "ticket-pack" in order to purchase opening day tickets.
So armed with that knowledge I set about to purchase my five-game pack for the upcoming season. "Whoa, you're going to just five games," you might ask. No, I'll go to plenty of additional games, I just know enough about baseball in Atlanta to know that I need not pre-buy tickets to all the games I want to go to -- there will be (more than) plenty available at much lower prices.
With the announcement today that the Braves will be retiring Chipper Jones' number, I officially had five games that I would pre-pay to see:
Monday, April 1st v. Phillies - Opening Day
Thursday, May 30th v. Blue Jays - Freddie Freeman Bobblehead
Thursday, June 20th v. Mets - B.J. Upton Bobblehead
Friday, June 28th v. D-Backs - Chipper Number Retirement Ceremony
Saturday, July 27th v. Cards - 80s replica cap
Yeah, I like freebies... and toys. (And Chippah.)
I went to the Braves site, clicked on tickets, then clicked the 'Buy Tickets' button under the Five-Game Pack, then... then I searched for a link to buy tickets online. And nothing. So I went away frustrated thinking maybe I just didn't see it. I came back to the site later in the day, and after searching around again, finally decided to click to chat with a ticket person:
My first question to the ticket person, and her response:
Martin: Can I buy a 5-ticket pack online? I don't see where you can.
(Ticket Person): Hi Martin! You cannot buy a 5 pack online this week, but I would be happy to help you put one together. Do you know which games you would like to attend?
What!?! Can't buy tickets online? What year is this?
Being prepared, I copy and pasted the list of games I wanted to attend into the chat window and asked for Club Level. Of course, the only Club Level they have for the five-game pack is outfield club, which is in the outfield and crap. So I deferred to Terrace Infield, which are the seats underneath the Club Level, and more or less behind the infield.
It took at least eight or nine minutes for her to pull together the seats for each game, enter them into the chat window, and ask if that was okay with me. I admittedly threw a curve ball in there by asking for all even numbered seats, so two of the dates had to be searched for again.
In total the chat session lasted just over 22 minutes. That's 22 minutes of my time and a representative's time, and (A) I type fast, (B) knew exactly which games I wanted, and (C) knew generally where I wanted to sit, and had some idea about price. For most people I would imagine the process might be longer. I can't imagine how long it would take for a 10-game pack. The price, by the way, was $472, which includes a $6 handling fee.
This is the digital age, and I know the Braves have a sophisticated online ticketing system that allows you to select the games you want and even the seats you want. Why, again, is this not available now? The rep only tried to up-sale me once, with parking, so there doesn't seem to be a concerted effort to push people into more games or more tickets.
This overall ticket purchasing process was horribly cumbersome. There may be some people who like the personal touch, but I just prefer to enter the games, click the seats I want, and see if the total is something I would be willing to pay. That whole process, including entering my credit card info, probably wouldn't have taken half as long as this chat session took.
Part of this frustration is a desire to get decent seats to Opening Day, and the fact that I must spend the money and commit to at least four additional games to make this happen. And the irony of this entire post is not lost on me... the Braves fan complaining about buying tickets to see the Braves. I should want to go to every game, right? I like baseball, and I like Turner Field, but I would probably go postal if I had to hear "everybody clap your hands" 80+ times a year on the PA system which is turned up several times louder than it should be.
As I said in the beginning, I also know that cheap tickets from resellers, and special ticket deals will make the ultimate price of tickets to games throughout the season much cheaper than this initial cost. This is like buying a new car -- as soon as you get the tickets they're not worth as much as you paid for them.
The thought crossed my mind to just get tickets for opening day from a reseller, and then look for cheap deals throughout the season for the other games I want to go to. I'm also well aware that under $50 a ticket for lower bowl in any stadium is a pretty good deal, and I'll ultimately probably buy these tickets (I have 24 hours). But I'm annoyed by this process... as you can see.
I guess I just feel as though the Braves should make it as easy as possible to get tickets to games, instead of turning the technology dial back ten years and forcing you into ticket packages. Of course, these tickets are only a few dollars less than face value, so why wouldn't I wait? Overpay for Opening Day, then underpay for everything else.
What are you thoughts? Has anyone else had a similar experience? Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill? (Don't answer that last one.)
[UPDATE 1pm 2/20/13]
Apparently single game tickets for ALL GAMES will go on sale Monday the 25th of February at 10am. So I'm going with that option for Opening Day tickets. Maybe they'll have the online system working for that...
And actually, I just got an email from the "Braves Beat," which is the Braves email list, and if you're a member of that list, then you can buy tickets to individual games starting this Friday the 22nd at 10am. Go to the Braves.com home page, scroll to the bottom, then click the email icon to sign up for the Braves Beat email. Happy hunting.

It was 1976. As a kid reporter in Fayetteville, I covered education and helped run what was then called the city desk. One day I got the word that a local teacher was going to be the national teacher of the year and would be getting a crystal apple from President Gerald Ford in a ceremony at the White House, which Id get to cover.
Big stuff.
And it was. I stood in the back with what was then called the press, as opposed to the media.
Afterward, I went to the offices of Time magazine to see North Carolina native Simmons Fentress, a senior Time correspondent and old family friend. He came out, said wed go to lunch, but to come on back to his office. There sat a rather scruffy looking guy with shaggy hair, and a more carefully dressed, preppy sort of fellow.
Fellas, Simmons said, I want you to meet a friend of mine, a newspaper guy from North Carolina. Jim, this is Carl Bernstein, and this is Bob Woodward.
Simmons was doing a lengthy profile of the two reporters whod become famous for their Watergate reporting. The introduction was a little like guys in a garage band having a private practice session with Bruce Springsteen.
Thirty-eight years later, I recalled the meeting, shortening the story considerably, for Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. The two appeared together recently before a big crowd at the Fletcher Opera Theater in downtown Raleigh to recall Watergate in the 40th anniversary year of the ultimate outcome of the story, the resignation of President Richard Nixon. (The News & Observer was one of the events sponsors.)
Bernstein is 70 and Woodward is 71. Theyre both active in television and print journalism, and in about an hour and a half with WRALs David Crabtree moderating, they recalled with vigor what happened in those years when they chased a story from house to house, in parking lots, or little-known corners of Washington. It was, of course, the story of a lifetime, maybe the century, a story of deception and dishonesty and corruption surrounding a president who finally had to go.
And it was also the story that launched thousands and thousands of careers in journalism, careers driven by the belief among lots of bright, young people that they could make a difference, change the world by rooting out the bad guys and telling the truth. Because when Watergate was all over, Woodward and Bernstein, against denials and threats and the most powerful people in the country, had the truth on their side. But it was they who had to find the truth.
In the ensuing decades, too many stories probably had a gate tacked on to the end of them; and yes, perhaps too many people saw another Woodstein story around too many corners. But many stories, from many reporters whod gone in the business because of Woodward and Bernstein, unearthed some uncomfortable truth about people in power.
All through the unfolding of the Watergate story, there were those who refused to believe it, who complained that the story was beaten to death, who reckoned the story to have gone on too long and that people were tired of it.
Stories in the generations that followed have drawn exactly the same reactions, whether the stories have to do with a town councils secrecy in a hamlet or a city councils business-friendly zoning habits. But in so many cases, the stories have proved out in the end. Woodward and Bernstein didnt create Watergate, they reported it. So it is with town councils and other institutions that come under unwanted and uncomfortable scrutiny from reporters.
Mostly, its not about big stories. Its just about the day-to-day workings of government or institutions, and the abuse of power or the public trust. In 1990, in Little Washington North Carolina, the Washington Daily News won the Pulitzer Prize for exposing a pattern of water contamination. (The N&O copped the prize for a series on hog farms in 1996.)
Every day, the truth is sought and found by reporters in multiple forms of modern media, from print to television to the Internet. Woodward and Bernstein didnt invent all that, but they did inspire others to pursue careers they otherwise might not have chosen.
What Woodward and Bernstein did was good for the country, liked or not by admirers of President Nixon. And when reporters today, for this or any other media outlet, root out small-scale or large-scale rascals, or expose wrongdoing, or tell truths with which the powerful and positioned are uncomfortable, they, too, are doing valuable work.
And when those who are embarrassed by that truth dismiss such reporting as biased or exaggerated or wearisome or boring, remember: In 1972, the White House called the first disclosures about Watergate a third-rate burglary.

After watching "Anvil the Story of Anvil", I felt the need to go out a pick up an Anvil cd. I purchased "Metal on Metal" cause I remember the song from the movie, and it stuck in my head. I put this cd on and was blown away! The musicianship of Anvil is great! A few highlights are "Metal on Metal" and "666″, but I really enjoyed the whole album a lot and went back to the record store and bought "Hard 'n' Heavy" and "This is Thirteen", the only other cds the store had in stock. I'm glad I watched the movie, cause I probably never would have discovered Anvil's music otherwise. Simply put "Metal on Metal" is a heavy metal masterpiece andn should be in any good music collection.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
"Metal on Metal" is one of the defining Metallic statements of the early 80s. A loud, brash and completley infectious mixture of traditional Hard Rock melded with OTT theatrics and speed riffery that predates what will follow in Thrash by a year. This album blew away most of the competition at the time and few could truly compare to such a princely Metal feast.
After a mediocre first album("Hard and Heavy") the band really found themselves on this second release. Several of the band's all-time classics are available on this album including the ferocious anthem of a title track that ranks among the true gems about celebrating the Metal lifestyle. Simple as hell it would become a genre classic.
"Mothra" with it's speed riff and melodic passages stomped all over Blue Oyster Cult's predecessor in Monster mayhem with "Godzilla" by taking the sound out of the seventies and Hard Rock and into a fully Metal realm. The sound recalls in many ways the progresive side of later Power Metal releases.
"666″ is about one of the most delightfully evil Metal anthems of the pre-Black Metal days and was a decided improvement over the far more poppier directions of the classic "Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden as Anvil's sound predates a much more brutal take that reminds one of early Slayer crossed with a NWOBHM acid trip. It's the heaviest track on the album.
Other gems include frantic instrumental, "March of the Crabs". The silly pornographic nature of both "Jackhammer" and "Tag Team" which are both delights as well as the Van Halen like nature of "Stop Me".
The album is a great retro classic that still can crack a head or two while still remaining highly original and fun. It's a pity that this band remained in such obscurity for so long for they really were original and certainly paved a way for much Metal to follow.
Recognition is due and all serious Metal scholars need this one in his/her collection.
Way to go! Originally released in 1982, this is Anvil's follow-up to their first record 'Hard 'N Heavy' (see my review)and SO much better. This CD totally shows us just what this Canadian power metal band is fully capable of. More than dug the straight-head heavy rockers, like "Mothra", the bootie-stomping "March Of The Crabs", "Jackhammer" and "Tag Team". This one KICKS! A definite should-have.
Their first album was kinda like Rush's first album: it left ya wondering. Their second was a big step forward as Anvil's second album contained an alltime, *alltime*, classic metal tune ('Metal On Metal' (just like Rush's 'By-Tor')). Anvil hit their highwater mark with their 3rd album, and Rush with their 4th but this particular Anvil album shows just how in-tune Anvil was the metal scene back in the day. Bear in mind 'Kill Em All' was released a year *after* this album. 'Metal On Metal' was, in 1982, one of the hardest and heaviest metal albums ever, period. Today it sounds quite a bit dated, as does 'Kill Em All', but trust me…..back in the day this band friggin' *rocked*! Hard!
One other thing of note: many bands of note originating from the early 80s have some sort of Venomish "black"metal past. Anvil never really jumped on that Mercyful Fate/Venom bandwagon. Apart from one song ("666″) they seemed to decide their own way was the only way to go. Hats off to them for being that original.
Finally! I've been waiting years for this album to be released on CD. Frequently overlooked in the history of metal, Anvil is worth remebering. And although their more recent discs have been available, those of us who remember the days before Metallica and Slayer are fondly nostalgic about the early days when the metal scene was fresh and unpredictable. "Metal on Metal" is an outstanding second effort by early-80's pioneers Anvil. This band was ahead of the curve in 1981, and although their music contained elements that would feature prominently in the infant speed/thrash movement that was rapidly fermenting in the wake of the NWOBHM, Anvil never achieved the same mainstream acceptance in the U.S. as many of their contemporaries. Perhaps their status is a result of unfortunate timing: they were introduced to the world in that narrow interval between the NWOBHM and the thrash era and consequently didn't fit precisely with either the second generation metal that preceded them, or the third generation metal that followed. The most remarkable thing about this album is its incredible versatility. The straightforward metal anthem "Metal on Metal" sets the stage for "Mothra", "March of the Crabs", and "666″, which highlight the power-production, speed-picking rhythms that would define the sound of the speed metal movement flagship bands like Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, Exodus, and Metal Church a few years later. "Jackhammer" strongly reminds me of old Aerosmith, while "Stop Me" and "Scenery" are solid FM rock, in the vein of Ratt or Nightranger. All the songs have their own character, unlike many of the keeping-up-with-the-Joneses bands so common after 1987, and the inclusion of these latter examples of metal with a more melodic, polished approach only serves to highlight the range of their talent. The lyrical content of the album consists primarily of typical adolescent …fantasies, but the drumming is something special. The drum sound is outstanding, benefitting from the excellent production quality and tight performances by all the band's members, which characterize this disc. Robb Reiner is one of the great metal drummers– along with Wacko, from Raven– of all time, and this album is worth the price for this reason alone, if its other virtues aren't sufficient to entice anyone interested in 'roots metal' to give this CD a spin.

Easter road congestion expected to peak on Saturday
Breakdown service Green Flag said those taking to the roads were likely to make round-trips averaging 125 miles over the holiday period.
The company reckoned 10.30am on Saturday would be the peak time for congestion, with 10.30am on Good Friday also likely to be very busy.
It added that drivers were likely to spend around £360 million on fuel this Easter, a 145% increase on the Easter 2012 total.

Pours into a standard pint glass a clear copper color with a thinner white head that leaves a sheet of lace as it settles pretty quickly.Aromas of herbal/leafy hops and faint pine from the juniper berries,a dryer malt base,pretty pedestrian.Flavors are on the dryer side with herbal hops and pine oils standing out,again ho hum but not a drain pour by any means.The juniper plays a role but the beer is somewhat basic,again not a drain pour just pretty average.

12 ounce bottle. Freshness dating notched onto the side of the label. Part of the sampler box.
Typical almond amber, moderate lite khaki head.Leaves adequate low sheeting a bits of lace here and there. Tons of bubble rising to the top.
Nose makes me think of spruce, ginger and herbal hops.
More herbal hop notes on the palate, spruce, pine, more soapy ginger....decently drinkable, but not my favorite IPA....doubt I would enjoy more then one or two of these...

Appearance: 1 inch head, clear, gold in color, high carbonation
Smell: slight berry, pepper, and pine
Taste: light bread, pepper, and pine
Mouthfeel: slightly bitter with a more bitter aftertaste, light bodied with high carbonation
Overall: A slightly above average IPA. I like the pine flavor, but I would not get this outside of the holiday sampler. Another one of the weaker beers I have seen in the winter sampler over the years. This year's winter sampler is just not doing it form.

12oz bottle at about cellar temp poured into a snifter. Best before MAR 2014 notched.
Pours out a crystal clear deep copper, bronze color, nice full off white head with very nice retention and lacing.
A bit of lighter aroma when compared to most American IPAs. Resinous, piney hops, perhaps some of that pine coming from the juniper with a toasted malt to balance.
Again, quite resinous feel to it, pine needles, a bit of pine sap, I'm guessing this is from a combination of American hops and juniper. Just a touch of a dry citrus hop but it's quickly washed away by a lightly toasted, lightly sweet malt. Leaves a slight spice on the tongue long after the sip as well as a bunch of lingering hop bitterness. More bitter than you'd expect from a same Adams IPA.
Medium in body, decently drinkable.
Not bad for a same Adams IPA. A bit one dimensional.

Copper colored ale light beige head forming thick slightly off white head, forms some nice banded lacing. Aroma has a nice spiced Christmas beer, juniper berries because that is what the label says. Can I actually smell Juniper berries? No but there's a full generic fruity quality lacking quintessential hoppy aspects. The flavors have a bit of hop bitterness, lacks malts or sweetness it's a dry piney, herbal hopped, juniper IPA. Go back to the drawing board guys! As it warms some citric notes make it to the nares but the juniper additions become the highlight on the nares and barely accessible in the flavor profile. Earthy pine and citrus notes fill the flavor of the hop bitterness, it's bad. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with a pure bitter dry finish that lacks balance between sweetness of malts and hops/juniper additions. Overall, take this beer and leave it in a 12 pack sampler because you had to produce something new, not because it's actually good. A sad day for Sam Adams!!!

12 oz bottle from the Winter mix 12-pack.
Not the first juniper IPA I've had, but perhaps the best. Contrary to expectation, this was not overly piney or harsh. The juniper was most obvious in the aroma, although citrusy hops dominate both the aroma and the flavor. Relatively low bitterness.
Fine amber color with a decent head. Good clarity.
O: well crafted, slightly distinctive IPA.

Poured a rich, clear caramel with a half-finger fluffy white head that receded to a quarter finger and left ample lacing down the glass. Carbonation bubbles go up the glass. Pretty good looking, very much an IPA. Scents of caramel, some fruity aromas, faint pine and citrus and some hints of juniper berries in the background. A fairly typical IPA aroma, but I like that you can actually detect the juniper berries in the aroma. Taste begins with a lot of caramel malt sweetness, some herbal hops, some citrus, some berry-like frutiness and some very faint juniper berries. These flavors are sustained in the middle. Finish continues with these flavors but adds a bit of a bready malt that continues into the aftertaste, along with a lingering bitterness. A decent East Coast IPA, but I do wish the juniper berries were a bit more prominent in the flavor profile. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly sticky, faintly oily with low carbonation and a slick finish. Quite easy to drink and very true to style. Overall this is a good IPA with a faint hint of juniper added. Its not amazing and there are certainly better IPAs out there, but its not bad and a good addition to the Winter pack.

text: SALISBURY, Md. - Nearly two months after the tragic death of C.J. Abbott, friends and family gathered to honor his memory, and make sure his name will not be forgotten."C.J. made the ultimate sacrifice and gave his life to save the life of another," said Connie Abbott, C.J.'s mother. "And if you knew him, you new he had plenty of life to give."The woman who gave C.J. that life shared difficult words about her son today, on what would have been his 20th birthday."He was great," she said, wiping her eyes.She spoke to an emotional crowd gathered at the Courtesy Chevrolet Saturday where C.J. worked, and now where he'll be remembered. The access road to the dealership was officially named in his honor - CJ Abbott Way."He had a lot of courage, and courage is what makes a difference in a hero," said Ray Nordstrom, president of Courtesy Chevrolet. C.J. became that hero to many on September third, when he was shot multiple times during what's described as a domestic dispute. He was protecting Kristen Loetz from her ex-boyfriend Ryan Shallue, who allegedly showed up at her home with a gun.After shooting the pair, he reportedly turned that gun on himself. And because of C.J., Loetz was only wounded that night."We can't all be a community of heroes, people don't have that opportunity every day," Nordstrom said. "But the ones that are, we need to recognize."Abbott says she feels loved by all of the support she and her family has received in the time since her son's death. And while he's become a very public figure, they took time to mark his birthday privately Friday night.They gathered with family and some of C.J.'s friends last night at his grave site, and released lanterns with notes and messages for him."We lit the candles and they just took off in the air," Abbott said. "It was awesome, all of the glows and stuff going on in the air. It was beautiful." And although C.J.'s family is honored by the outpouring of respect for their son, they have a message for the community. "Listen to your friends, your family, your spouses, your coworkers. If someone sends out a signal, no matter how small, please take it seriously," Abbott said. "You could save a family, like mine, from loosing their precious child."

The Bucs are determined to make this Monday Night Football game a watchable contest. Running back Preston Parker capped a 13-play, 80-yard drive with a 13-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Josh Freeman to tie up the score vs. the Colts at 17-17 as the third quarter comes to a close.
The Buccaneers were down 10-0, then 17-10, but have continued to come back. Including that TD pass, Josh Freeman has completed 23 of his 37 pass attempts for 269 yards. Freeman has spread the ball around, and eight players have at least one reception for Tampa Bay. Mike Williams has been the biggest target with five catches for 66 yards.
Here's video of the touchdown:

— On Oct. 24, 2012, one of the sweetest, most generous and selfless persons to ever walk the face of this earth took the hand of our Lord Jesus and followed Him into His Kingdom where she was reunited with all of those who loved her but have gone before.
Jan was born in Plymouth, on May 26, 1933, the daughter of Paul McDonald Snick (Schneckenburger) and Martha Louise Nelson (Nielsen). When Jan was not quite 3 years old, her father, a pilot/salesman for Waco Aircraft, was killed in a plane accident in Dallas, Texas. Her mother died in 1948 leaving her an orphan. Fortunately, two loving people, her great aunt Catherine, and great uncle, Cecil Hughes, became her legal guardians and nurtured her into a fine woman.
Jan graduated from Logansport High School in 1951 and, after a year at Stephens College, transferred to Purdue University, where she graduated in 1955 with a degree in education. On June 19, 1955, she and Don Sauers were joined in marriage at St. Bridget's Church in Logansport. After Don went into the U.S. Army, Jan began her teaching career and eventually became the librarian at St. Bernadettes Church in Springfield, Va. One of her great pleasures was reading to her grade school children the many books they enjoyed. Her all-time favorite was "Cloudy with a Chance of Meat Balls."
Jan and Don lived most of their lives and raised all of their children in Springfield, but in 1992, they moved to their vacation house on Lake Gaston, N.C., a place they loved so much. However in 2004, when it became evident that they needed to be closer to medical services, they relocated to Magnolia Greens in Leland, N.C.
Jan leaves behind to mourn her loss, her husband, Don; a daughter, Susan Basili and husband, Joe, of South Orange, N.J.; son, Allen and wife, Alice, of Leland, N.C., and son, Steven, of Singapore; grandson, Brian Basili attending Villanova University, and granddaughter, Nicole Basili attending the University of Delaware; and her best friend for life, Sherry Scott Putney, of Selkirk, N.Y.
Friends paid their respects at Coble Ward-Smith Funeral Home, 3915 Oleander Drive, Wilmington, N.C., on Tuesday.
A memorial Mass will be at St. Mary Church at a date to be determined. Jan will be buried next to her parents in Meadow Lake Cemetery, Wolcott.
"Treasure each other in the recognition that we do not know how long we will have each other."

"I view my role as an RD to be a ministry where I can help develop and shape young leaders. My hope is that my residents will gain a deeper understanding of themselves in order to formulate healthy habits on which to build for the rest of their lives. I am honored to have the privilege to work with students and see their growth and development from semester to semester."
Simply Live – "Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God" – Ronald Reagan
This year B.L. Hicks has partnered with People for Care and Learning, a humanitarian organization that moves into neighborhoods throughout Southeast Asia and the US to inspire hope, extend justice, and give the poor a working chance. We have been involved by helping to raise funds and volunteering at local fundraisers for their Build a City campaign in Cambodia.
