Poured a clear mahogany brown with a tight formed one finger sized white head leaving a broken ring of lace as it slowly settled,somewhat muted aromas mainly sweeter malt like that of brown sugar and dark fruit there was a hint of herbla hop but it was faint.Obviously malt tilted and pretty basic brown sugar and caramel sweetness mainly though not overly sweet a touch spicey hp comes thru in a rather quick finish.Not bad its drinkable but I got a bit bored with it in the end.

Pours a nice copper color, with a decent cream color head that hangs out for a while. Toasted malt, sort of like someone melted a Kraft caramel on toasted bread, in the aroma. Very appetizing. Killer label.
Sooo drinkable - a toasty malt flavor starts off, with caramel, toffee, and a very slight diacetyl flavor rounding things out. It starts to get a bit more bitter mid sip, and finishes like a more bitter, slightly drier version of the start with added hints of cocoa and slight hop spiciness. The flavors are very, very clean - no off flavors at all. The mouthfeel is a touch on the light side, but it makes this brew massively drinkable. One of my favorite winter seasonals primarily because it lends itself to day-long consumption and I'll never tire of the flavor.

Presentation: 12oz brown long neck with a "Bottled" date clearly marked.
Appearance: Clear deep copper (reddish tint) in colour with a well formed creamy bubbled lace.
Smell: Touch of butterscotch and herbal hop with a mild twang of fruitiness.
Taste: Light carbonation yet very smooth, nice chewy malt mouth feel in the middle. Hints of toasted malt, subdued fruitiness and a herbal hop bitterness which is a tad sharp along with the alcohol. Hints of butterscotch, ghost like rum alcohol and toasted bread help to finish off this brew.
Notes: A more than decent pick for the big influx of winter brews in this year (2003) ... just enough hops to tame the body. Quite an enjoyable malty brew.

Bottle pours a hazy, almost murky, golden brown body with a small beige head that quickly drops into a collar. Some patchy lacing is left on the glass.
Aroma is subdued. Toffee and pine hops are noted.
Light medium to medium body has a solid moderate carbonation.
Taste has pine and earthy hop bitterness up front that lords over the malt presence. Faint notes of toffee and caramel balance but don't shine like one would expect from a Scotch ale. Finishes with an earthy hop bitterness.
Hibernator is a good name for a doppelbock, which I thought this was when I picked up the bottle. When I tasted it I thought it was a hoppy amber. Now, I see that it's supposed to be a Scotch ale, and it might be a good one if the malt bill was beefed up.

12 ouncer with bottled on dating (bottled 10 days before this review!) Pours almond and clear, minimal head is off white, next to no lacing. Nose is a boring sniff of malt and perhaps some smoke. Malty ale is the deal here, honey sweetness adertized on the label and picked up on the palate, decent sessioner, but not much more.

poured into a nonic glass from a brown long neck bottle crimped on cap. 5 out of 6 Long Trails sent from Sudsdog all good drinkable beers so far nothing outstanding yet.
Clear dark to meduim amber color with reddish hues. fair retention and carbination leaving bits of lacing.
Moderate pleasing subtle aromas,very earthy,light sweet toasty,some doughyness,a good bit of fruity and nutty aromas ,a hint of honey sweetness.
Clean taste,tart fruityness,earthy,some sweet maltiness, some spiceyness,doughy,hints of honey.Good balance,the taste was a bit on the weak side. BA lists this beer as Scottish ale more like an Amber ale to me.
Medium almost light mouthfeel,smooth,with a bit of cloying. Goes down easy just don't think it a beer i could drink more than a couple of.

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass.
Pours a nice deep ruby brown with a small white head and a ton of lacing. Nose is a bit peaty, smoky and real malty.
Taste is very malty and peaty with a nice sweet finish. There's a bit of a metallic taste but it's not too bad. Overall for a scotch it's a bit tame however that means it's real drinkable and good for people who haven't had the style too many times.

Golden brownish reddish with a low off-white head. Low aroma of subtle malt and cracker. Flavor is malty upfront, biscuity, semi sweet, notes of toffee, nutty flavors, subtle caramel. Even mouthfeel, low carbonation. Overall a tasty easy drinker, not over the top, but a good beer.

Pours a clear orange-brown with a small off white head. Minimal retention and lacing. Smells very nutty, slightly earthy, and grainy.
The taste is what I was hoping the Harvset would be but wasn't. Lots of sweet caramel and toasted malt with a underlying sweetness of citrus and sugar. Slighlty buttery and chewy in texture. Very nice mouthfeel. Super smooth. Moderately weak hop finish, but enough to balance all that malt. Great beer.

Long Trail Brewing company's Hibernator pours out the bottle and inot the glass a dark copper color. The head is relatively nice in size but short lasting. The initial smell is of spices, with malt and yeast breaking through. But overall the smell is tantalizing. The taste is a tad bit bland, not matching the spicy aroma, with malt being up front on the buds. There is a late arriving metallic bitter bite. A descent beer, but not one would I recommend rushing out to buy.

Appears a deep caramel amber brown with a large off white khaki head, forms a thick head that leaves behind even bands of lacing. Aromatics sweet baked holiday breads with a touch of peated malt, overall really sweet caramel tones with a touch of alcohol. All of their beers have that touch of maple syrup in them especially the Triple Bag I had on ta last night. Flavor isn't overtly too sweet a rustic somewhat balanced with hard edges of herbal notes and earthiness, kinda stuck on the tobacco leaf kick. Mouthfeel is medium bodied a tad cloying not overly heavy in anyway but something just doesn't sit well with each sip, I thought their IPA was rock solid but so far I can't say Long Trail is one of the greats through their whole portfolio. Drinkability is pretty weak with this offering not the brew I would look for again anytime soon.

Fresh from Vermont, thanks to my buddy Chris and his brother!
Poured a light brown, slightly murky. A one finger beige head forms and slowly resides to a thick film with some spotty lacing.
Aroma-malty, strangely lagerish with some vanilla notes. A swirl and a deep inhale gets you some hoppy aromas too.
Mouthfeel-good carbonation and bitterness are the inital sensation and taste. A roll on the palate gets a sweet, grainy malt flavor. I try avoid the term balanced but this winter brew is with a slightly hoppier than malty edge. Finishes like an Alt with a kick. VERY sessionable, pleasing. Long Trail always pleases, Cheers.

Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council Recognizes Local Volunteers
Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council (GSSJC) recently honored Girl Scout volunteers Lewdelle and Kenneth Pekar and Rosie Haffemann for their many years of service to the organization. They received their awards during the annual spring GSSJC recognition event.
The Pekars were honored with the Family Award. The Family Award is presented to a registered Girl Scout family having a profound impact on the lives of Girl Scouts. This award is given for service performed by more than one registered adult family member.
For the past 13 years they have shared their time, talents, and energy with the girls and adults of EverRock Service Unit. For 10 of those years, Lewdelle has served as service unit treasurer and done an exemplary job. She helps new and old leaders yearly with financial reports and never hesitates to step up to any challenge from sorting cookies to coordinating "Camp EverRock".
Kenneth has loaded camping gear, pitched tents, and carried cookies. "He's even the first aid/CPR person when needed. He is always the first one to lend a hand to someone in need," said volunteer Lynn Eaton.
Rosie Haffemann received the Thanks Badge. The Thanks Badge is a national award presented to registered adults for extraordinary service benefiting the Council or Girl Scout Movement. A miniature trefoil pin is awarded to the spouse of the Thanks Badge recipient.
Windchimes Service Unit says they have their very own "energizer bunny" in Haffermann. "She just keeps going, giving and sharing," said volunteer Evelyn Vittone.
For most of the last 20 years Haffemann has served as service unit manager and demonstrated excellence while serving both adults and girls. "Planning events for girls to have fun and earn badges is second nature to her. Recruiting leaders is easier after Rosie has held group meeting to let them see how it is done," said Vittone.
Haffemann's total dedication to the Girl Scout mission is evident by her leading more than just one troop while working in the service unit and on Council events. Because of her enthusiasm for math and science she has recently attended training at the national Girl Scout training center for a new program called Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Today, as when founded in 1912, GSUSA helps cultivate values, social conscience, and self-esteem in young girls, while also teaching them critical life skills that will enable them to succeed as adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving over 63,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 25 southeast Texas counties. For more information call 1-800-392-4340 or visit www.gssjc.org.
GSSJC Pluralism Statement
Embracing and promoting pluralism is an integral part of every activity and plan of Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, not disconnected or separate projects. Only individuals willing to accept and be educated about the basic tenet that Girl Scouting is for all girls may serve in volunteer leadership or staff positions.

Dougherty County school board members have voted to close Dougherty Middle School and Sylvester Road Elementary and repurpose Magnolia Elementary.
The vote was 5-2 with Velvet Riggins and Darrel Ealum casting the two nay votes.
For the past several months school board members have been discussing whether to close the schools, due to a declining student population.
The plan would save $2 million a year and $11 million in SPLOST money for renovations needed at the schools on the closure list.
Folks in East Albany, who live near the schools, have spoken out against the proposal during public hearings. Critics worry empty school buildings will lead to crime and hurt the economy.

Rooms are renovated, but really small (Hongkong style) - you might actually fall from the toilet into the bed :) The only staff member was quite nice, no deposit. Really hated the elevators in Chungkin mansions and the guys prowling the streets and hawking.

The room is totally different from pictures shown in website. We expect a modern room but we're given a normal guest room. We booked International Guest Hse but we're direct to Park Guest House which located at different floor. We feel like being cheated but we've no choice as we've paid the total amount before we enter the rooms. There's one night we noticed the main door is not closed as the cleaner is doing their cleaning at midnight. There's only one lift going even & odd floors.

Cardamom CO2
- Botanical Name: Elettaria cardamomum
- Origin: Guatemala
- Process: CO2 Total Extract
- Plant Part: Whole Fruit
- Cultivation: Cultivated
- Use: Aromatherapy / Natural Perfumery
- Note: Middle Note
- Aroma: Spicy, warm, with a refreshing undertone like fresh cardamom seeds
- Certificate of Analysis
Cardamom CO2 Total Extract - Organic
Our Cardamom CO2 Total - Organic is a deep yellow in color and is a very rich oil with a complex sweet-spicy aroma true to that of the freshly crushed cardamom seeds. We think our Cardamom CO2 is far superior to steam distilled Cardamom essential oil that tends to be pale in color with a comparatively flat aroma.
Cardamom oil has a very long history of use in medicine and perfumery. Surprisingly, it is known as an aphrodisiac, and is used extensively in cosmetics and perfumery to add a warm, fresh, and stimulating quality. We use Cardamom CO2 in our Patchouli Amber Spice to give it an added lift.
Cardamom CO2 is one of our very favorite spice oils for use in blending essential oils.
Aromatherapy Uses: Digestive complaints, poor appetite, stimulates digestion, lung conditions, mental fatigue.
Customer Reviews for Cardamom CO2
- Wonderful in Coffee Review by Scully
- I add just a drop or two to my coffee. It's a great twist for something "a little different" after dinner. Mmmmm..... (Posted on 4/30/13)
- Energizing, enlivening Review by Dave
- The Cardamom CO2 is a must in massage mixtures and muscle rubs. It packs a sharp bite that is completely energizing and enlivening. Also, lovely to mix with cinnamon and nutmeg, and spray around the kitchen. One of my personal favorites. Thank you, Eden! (Posted on 3/5/13)
- Fresh & spicy Review by Delicious
I'm beginning to blend oils for scent, rather than just using them in creams and salves for skin healing qualities, and needed an EO with some spice, but not too sweet. I've always loved taking a whiff of freshly ground cardamon - so uplifting both physically and emotionally. I was very pleased when this EO arrived and I twisted off the cap and took a deep breath. It's just what I was hoping it would be.

Patriots chairman and CEO Robert Kraft received the George Halas Award from the Professional Football Writers of America.
Kraft is the 43rd Halas Award winner and the first NFL owner and first member of the Patriots' franchise to receive the award. The Halas Award is given to a "NFL player, coach or staff member who overcomes the most adversity to succeed."
Last summer, Kraft's wife, Myra, died on July 20, 2011. He spent the summer going back and forth, caring for his wife and taking part in the labor negotiations. Five days after his wife's passing, Kraft was on hand to announce the 10-year Collective Bargaining Agreement.
"A special thanks to Myra Kraft, who even in her weakest moment, allowed Mr. Kraft to come and fight this out, and without him this deal does not get done," then-Colts C Jeff Saturday said during the CBA announcement almost a year ago. "I don't want to be climactic in any way, but he is a man who helped us save football, and we are so gracious for that. We're gracious for his family and for the opportunity he presented to get this deal done."

, posted on November 27, 2012
There is a lot of time spent going over the steps of the routine. The instructions are good, but it's hard to follow the first time through. I'll try it again to see if it gets easier. One frustration I have with dance videos that focus on lengthy routines is that it's hard to get my heart rate into a good cardio zone because of the downtime between the steps of the routine. I'd rather just be moving the whole time with shorter routines and more music. One thing that I do like about this video is that the steps are demonstrated by actual dancers instead of Jillian, and she is very modest about her own hip-hop limitations. That said, she keeps up with the dancers just fine. There's a fun little section near the end where the various dancers do some solo dancing, but I'm not sure what it adds to the actual workout. Good warmup at the beginning but no real cool-down other than when the dancers are doing their thing at the end.

3.8/5 rDev +9.2%
12 oz. bottle.
Tan, burnt sienna body. Clear. Finger of creamy, thick, resilient, light beige head. Some lacing. Caramel and cookie dough malt sweetness on the nose, backed by toasted grains and mild cooked vegetables.
Toasted malts and nutty grains up front. Cookie dough and caramel sweetness fill in. Not overly sweet, but enough to beat out some subdued noble hops. Notes of cola and vanilla, before slight molasses, dry chocolate, and spicy hop bitterness into the finish. Plenty of lingering caramel malts. Moderate body, with a nicely carbonated feel. Not bad at all!

3.75/5 rDev +7.8%
A: A good looking bock that is medium copper with excellent clarity. The head is made of creamy, long lasting, off-white bubbles.
S: A moderate malt aroma with a moderately melanoidins; the crust bread aroma starts off light but builds as it warms. pretty much no hops aroma, maybe a very light spice, or maybe that's the yeast. A fairly clean, lager fermentation with no fruit.
T: The taste is dominated by rich German malt flavors hat bring moderate toast and crusty bread flavors. There is a moderately-light hops bitterness. The balance is very slightly towards the bitter with a light lingering bitterness in the finish. No hops nor diacetyl, although there is a light spiciness in there, again I'm not sure if that's the yeast or the hops.
M: A slightly cream, medium-full bodied beer with moderate carbonation.
O: A pretty good Bock but the light bit of spicy in the nose wouldn't be to style but it doesn't detract so I'm taking away point for it. Given the fermentation character I'll inclined to call that a Noble hops character.

M - medium bodied, crisp, just a tad overcarbonated
This is a pretty solid bock. All of the right flavors are present. They're just not as pronounced as I would have liked. The hops are a bit more bitter than the style needs. Overall though, I wasn't disappointed, I just wanted a little more. It's worth a try.

Followed up the Saranac Chocolate Lager with the Black Bear. This beer is a little richer and thicker. The malt is a little sweet with mild fruit, but the toffee, followed by caramel, dominated, before the dry toasty finish. The body is a touch thick, but it's on par for a good bock. There's a mild spicy-lemon hop character mixed into the finish, to make another balanced bock. Bocks are hard to find, but this is worth the effort if you're into the style.

Pours a light amber/copper color with a minimal off-white head that quickly settled into a light ring. Probably a shade or so lighter than most bocks.
The aroma is bready & doughy and has the munich malt aroma so it represents the style. Some brown sugar sweetness. Not quite as robust as other bocks.
The taste is bready & doughy as well, nice munich malt flavor. Brown sugar and honey flavor provide some sweetness. A small dose of hoppy bitterness helps balance the sweetness. Its an enjoyable flavor but doesn't quite have the depth.
The feel is light to moderate with fizzy carbonation. I like the high level of carbonation in a bock so it works for me. Good balance in this brew.
Average bock, not terrible but good use some more depth in flavor.

A- Pours an amber color with a white foamy head that reduces and skims the top, a bit of short-lasting lace.
S- cereal grains, roasted malt, not much hops, pretty simple
T- some grainy malt, a bit doughy, earthy, with a hops bitterness that overpowers the malt a bit
M- light body, medium carbonation with a fizzy-slightly foamy mouthfeel and finish
O- this one was ok, it had a pretty good flavor profile, but the hops seemed to dominate a bit too much for the style.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle. Sampled on February 1, 2013.
I enjoyed looking at it. The color was medium amber or closer to reddish-brown with a small, short-lived off-white head.
The aroma has a toasted bread quality to it with sweet malts, molasses, burnt caramel but nothing that smells like hops.
The body has a smooth medium texture to it.
The taste begins fairly sweet and less toasty like the aroma with a low bitterness in there but it does not hang around much at the end. It is an alright beer but I would not go out of my way.

Served On: 12/16/2012
Glassware: Sam Adams Perfect Pint
Labeled ABV: -
Date/ Code: -
This was from the current Saranac 12 Beers of Winter mixed 12 pack.
Look: Color was a nice rich transparent copper with some orange tinges. Head was a thin cap of off-white foam that fell to a consistent film. Carbonation level was medium to low. Not much in the way of lacing.
Smell: Very malty with some faint sour notes. A spice was in the background. Some biscuit and other typical lager notes were detected.
Taste: First up was a carbonated tingle on the tongue. Then a sweet maltiness that moved into a slight hop bite. Mount feel was nice and full. The finish was fairly clean with some hop bitterness and some malt sweetness battling over the aftertaste.
This was a solid Bock that fit the style very well. I would drink it again, but I don't know what I would ever seek it out.

12oz long neck bottle
A) Pours with a two finger head that settles quite quickly to a thin lacing on top. Clear bronze colored body.
S) Grainy. Caramel malts.
T) Rich malts tones upfront then a weakening towards the finish. Caramel. Toasted grains. Finishes pilsener-esque : dry and grainy.
M) On the light side of medium body. Mostly a dry feel throughout.
O) A decent brew. I'd have another.

Poured from the bottle into a pilsner style glass.
This is one of the nicest looking bocks I have seen. A deep and crystal reddish bronze body, with a soupy and creamy light tan head. It billows up on the pour with a thick 3 fingers deep, and sits with a soapy retention and lace. Body has some cola carbonation stuck to the sides, but slowly dissapears. Body is filled with a mix of small slow rising carbonation, and the occasional fast rising cola bubble. Very very good looking beer.
Light toasty grains hit the nose, with a slight sticky malt. Faint caramel and grass hit a bit in the back with a little bit of spicy sense. Quite solid.
Palate seems to miss some of the bouquets qualities. Hammered down malt, but at least a lengthy sticky yeasty finish. Mouthfeel seems ok to style, but not providing much depth to the beers flavor profile. Clean but a little wet. Sticky malts and yeast travel down the palate with a light grass, but with a dominant yeast profile overtaking. Virtually no caramel sweetness.
Overall it's not a bad brew, but just not that memorable. It's certainly something I could have again and drink, but wouldn't go out of my way to really have again.

A: The beer is clear amber in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high dense off white head that quickly died down but consistently left a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: There are very light aromas of brown bread in the nose along with a bit of sweetness.
T: Like the smell, the taste is rather malty and has flavors of brown bread along with a slight amount of sweetness. No bitterness is detectable, but the hops help keep this from being too sweet.
M: It feels a little more than medium-bodied on the palate and somewhat smooth with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This isn't a phenomenal beer, but's a good representation of the style and is also quite easy to drink when compared to other bocks. It's definitely a little filling, but I would have no problem drinking multiple glasses of this beer.

Pours a light amber color with a good sized offwhite head, fades at a slow rate and leaves some nice lacing on the glass.
Smell is pretty much all sweet malt with a subtle hint of toffee.
Taste starts out with a sweet malt front, hops are essentially non-existent, toffee is decent and adds a more complex layer, slightly fruity which is odd, carbonation is strong but not overdone, decent creamy body.

Poured a medium copper hue with a one finger foamy white head. There was good retention and very good sticky lacing.
The smell featured a dry earthy malt with a touch of cocoa.
The taste consisted of a dry chocolate maltiness with minimal sweetness and a cleansing herbal hop.
The mouthfeel was toward the lighter side of the style.
Overall a tasty and easy drinking bock.

Pours a clear amber/copper color with a smallish off-white head that quickly recedes leaving a small cap and some spotty lacing.
Aromas begin with bready, biscuity and doughy maltiness. There is some light nuttiness and a but of caramelized brown sugar sweetness.
The tastes follow the nose with the same toasted bready and biscuity maltiness coipled with the same light nuttiness. As it warms there is a little more brown sugar and honey sweetness with a small dose of hop bitterness to balance the sweetness.
The mouthfeel is slightly more than light bodied with moderate carbonation. Finish is lightlty toasty but mainly dry and clean.
After having the chocolate bock in the same variety pack I have to say they are pretty on par in their mediocrity. The lack the full flavor profile I desire in the style and the fuller mouthfeel generated by the traditional German styles.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- The investigation into a possible serial killer has led New Albany Police to reassign officers, ask the FBI for assistance, and examine leads as far as 800 miles away.
The remains of Stephanie Kirk were found in the backyard of William Clyde Gibson's New Albany home last month, but he hasn't been charged with her death.
Gibson is charged with murdering 75-year-old Christine Whitis and 53-year-old Karen Hodella. Police say Whitis was found inside Gibson's home last month, and Hodella's body was discovered near the Ohio River in Clarksville in January 2003.
The New Albany Police Department has reassigned members of the department's FLEX unit, which normally investigates drug crimes, to the case, along with officers from the Traffic Unit and Patrol Division.
It has also been receiving advice and support from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico, Virginia. The FBI has not sent any agents to New Albany to help with the case.
NAPD says investigators are following up on leads in the Gibson case from as far away as 800 miles.

We are now accepting preliminary applications for the 2050 Fellowship.
Preliminary applications are due by 5pm on Monday, November 4th, 2013
The United States is rapidly changing. The U.S. Census Bureau expects that by the year 2050, there will be 439 million Americans
(there are 312 million of us now) and for the first time, there will be no single racial or ethnic majority.
These projections provoke thoughts about the transformations that will take place in the American landscape over the next 37 years—technologically, environmentally, demographically, and artistically. They are a catalyst for broader questions about our moral and artistic future. How do we define diversity? Whose stories aren't being told? What lies ahead for our world?
In response to these questions, NYTW has expanded its Fellowship program to support the diversity of voices that will make up this new minority majority. NYTW is re-affirming our responsibility to nurture artists who reflect this multiplicity of perspectives, challenge the dominant paradigm, and give voice to those whose experiences are not often heard.
The 2050 Fellowship is an expansion of NYTW's Emerging Artists of Color Fellowship, established in 1995 out of NYTW's fundamental belief that a diversity of thought, experience and culture is crucial to theatrical innovation. We remain committed to this conviction by expanding the way we identify an artist who is eligible for our Fellowships toward a more inclusive and wider range of artists of varied backgrounds and aesthetics.
As an institution, NYTW is constantly interacting with and being informed by the diverse body of artists we serve. We seek to listen and respond to untold stories and underrepresented voices, and our roster of artists has always embodied a multitude of communities. In addition, as both a laboratory for theatrical exploration and a producer of plays, NYTW supports projects that are aesthetically, thematically, and methodologically varied. We seek Fellows who reflect, celebrate, and practice this diversity, and who are dedicated and motivated candidates wishing to develop their talents and craft by participating in a dynamic, artist-centered creative community.
In addition, NYTW has chosen to name its new fellowship program the 2050 Fellows so that in our support of emerging artists, we hold these questions, provocations, and speculations about our future society at our core. NYTW seeks to support emerging artists who, with their unique voices, give us perspective on the world in which we live; and who challenge us all to embrace the creation of this new world.

Nobody expecting more from Sigrest than Sigrest
Sarah Sigrest knows all about expectations and she's not afraid to face them. She's been dealing with them for a while now.
Last season, the JU softball team rode their star pitcher's arm to the NCAA tournament and she was named Atlantic Sun Conference Pitcher of the Year. Already this season she is the A-Sun preseason Pitcher of the Year and there are many expecting Sigrest to once again lead the Dolphins the tournament.
"It's good because it shows I have the respect of the coaches and players but at the same time I have a target on my back because every other pitcher in the conference is thinking 'I want to be Pitcher of the Year','' she said. "It's going to hard to repeat, but I'm ready for it.''
Indeed it will be difficult to repeat last season's 27-7 record, 1.10 earned run average, 208 strikeouts in 230 innings pitched and two shutouts.
With those kinds of numbers one could think Sigrest feels invincible. Not the case.
"It's not just me, it is the team,'' she said. "Last year, every time I threw a pitch I knew we were going to get an out. The team makes me feel like I can throw anything I want and never second-guess a pitch. I trust my defense.''
"It's (repeating the performance) going to be tough,'' JU coach Ali Higgs said. "Obviously the target's on her back, people are coming after her, everybody knows she's the best pitcher in the conference. The numbers are hard to top.'' Higgs is quick to add she has little question Sigrest is up to the challenge.
None of the accolades or pressure are lost on the senior from Daphne, Ala., in fact, she seems to appreciate much of the pressure. And make no mistake, this is far from a rest on your laurels season for her.
"I think I'm a little tougher on myself than anybody else is, 'Sigrest said. "I didn't just go home and say 'last year was good enough' because I don't think it was good enough. It's my last year playing and I want to go out with a lot more than what we had last year.''
There's a reason for the mindset … she has a big-picture goal in mind.
"I want to leave a legacy,'' she said. "I want to leave with people saying 'I want to be as good as her'. I want to be somebody a freshman can look up to and say 'hey, I want to smash her record'. I had that coming in. It's a competitive thing and I'm setting the bar for other people coming in.''
She also said she already can see her senior season is going to be emotional.
"Last year it was like 'let's go good' and you always had time and this year you don't have time,'' she said. "Every day you get closer to being done so it seems like everything we do is more dramatic. Like every time we miss a ball I'm like 'oh, no, we can't miss a ball'. It's dramatic and it's emotional.''
That she's has such success hasn't come as a surprise to those who have watched Sigrest grow over the years.
She took up the game with a pitching coach in third grade and threw a few games for the Daphne High School varsity as early as seventh grade. Not long after she thought she wanted to quit, but her mother, Cheryl, asked her to stick it out one more year then quit.
Sigrest stuck it out one more year, didn't quit, and was a varsity star the remainder of her time with the Lady Trojans.
After coming to JU, Sigrest said she "lost her edge'' her sophomore season when she had only six wins and she and then pitching coach Higgs, did some head-butting.
"I definitely had my immature moments where I had my mind on things other than softball,'' Sigrest said. "I was in study hall a lot, in there getting in trouble a lot for not having the grades. It took me a while to figure out it's not just about going out. That's where my breakdown was my sophomore year. Physically there was nothing wrong with me but mentally I wasn't where I needed to be.''
"She is a handful, but not in a bad way,'' Higgs said. "Sigrest and I have come a long way. She'll be the first to tell you we've come a long way. Right now it's easy. She's a senior, she knows me, I know her, it's not a teaching aspect for me, it's a refining aspect and we go into every game thinking 'ok, how can we trick them this time?' But, there are no tricks because everybody knows what pitches she throws and when she throws them, now it's like a card game and what we're going to throw out there to win. It's kind of fun. I think we both have fun with it.''

Members battling plans to demolish their social club (From The Oxford Times)

Members battling plans to demolish their social club
10:00pm Friday 3rd January 2014 in News By Oliver Evans, Health reporter, also covering Kidlington. Call me on 01865 425271
A map of the Castle Quay development development site; belowRob Kinchin-Smith, Banbury Civic Society chairman
SOCIAL club members have opposed controversial plans to demolish it to make way for a shopping centre.
A 1,044-signature petition opposed the plan to extend Banbury's Castle Quay shopping centre.
Plans show this would involve the demolitioh of the General Foods Sports and Social Club, in Spiceball Park Road.
The plans – for a supermarket, cinema, restaurants and hotel – have been backed by Cherwell District Council planning officer Graham Wyatt. Councillors will be asked to make a decision at a meeting next week.
Mr Wyatt said planning permission would not override private land rights between the club and shopping centre.
But centre owners Scottish Widows Group could ask the council to force the sale of the club's land, he said. The club was not available for comment.
Letters sent by users said: "It would be a great pity to lose this club and to think of demolition, well, it's just unthinkable, to take away a well-loved and respected amenity."
Some 80 letters opposed the plans.
Banbury Town Council objected as "land is part of the designated cultural quarter" and lorries could struggle to deliver to the supermarket.
It comes after Scottish Widows and the owners of Banbury Cross Retail Park failed last month to stop an out-of-town retail park going ahead.
The High Court upheld district council permission for 'Banbury Gateway', to include a Next and Marks & Spencer at Wildmere Industrial Estate, near junction 11 of the M40.
Banbury Civic Society chairman Rob Kinchin-Smith said of the Castle Quay plan: "It will not benefit the historic town centre and will instead slowly drain what remaining life the town centre has into Scottish Widows hands."
The northern car park would be demolished but new parking would increase total spaces from 465 to 640 with two new bridges over the Oxford and Cherwell canals.
Mr Wyatt said the plan meets the council's strategy "to strengthen the town centre retail base and enhance the leisure offer and the night-time economy" and give the centre a major supermarket.
He said it would "increase leisure development within the town centre without impacting on its ability to draw future investment into it".
The planning committee will make a decision when it meets at the council's offices in White Post Road, Bodicote, from 4pm on Thursday. The public can attend.

Jeremy Grice was last seen barefoot by his mailbox on Miller Road. That spot no longer looks the same, instead of the mailbox, there's a sign saying "road ends." But the road hasn't ended for the investigation because Jeremy is still missing.
"I don't think he's in a five mile radius, but he could be in a 20 mile radius and never be picked up on," Jeremy's Uncle, David Smith says.
Smith is the Police Chief in Burnettown. He says hearing about the women found close to home in Cleveland makes for mixed emotions.
"All this keeps rushing back in, you relive everything, you rethink everything," he says. "You think you've come to terms with these hopes and these dreams then it all falls back apart."
Hearing Jeremy's family describe his laugh and the way he lit up a room, it's hard to believe it's been nearly 28 years.
"He was full of energy and never met a stranger, unfortunately," he says.
Police received hundreds of leads, including some saying Jeremy would be found in a nearby pond. He wasn't, so they're still looking, hoping he's alive.
"That's the one thing we have for every case, is just hope," Captain Eric Abdullah of the Aiken County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) says.
It's hard for the family each time they see a blonde man around Jeremy's current age.
"My mother, she thinks this person over here has the qualities of Jeremy," Smith says. "She saw someone on the news in the background that looked like it could have been Jeremy."
And ACSO believes someone watching with that description could be Jeremy. They say the most important lesson out of Cleveland is for someone like him.
"If anyone is missing and is held captive, it's almost like raising your hand in the classroom, you need to raise your hand and ask for help," he says.
And for everyone who remember this case: Jeremy's family has a plea. The physical evidence is long-gone, but it's you who could help bring him home.
"They may say I've told five investigators this information five times," Smith says, "but the only thing I can say is tell the sixth investigator the sixth time," he says.
Because that sixth could bring him home.
If you have any information, however small, about Jeremy's disappearance, please call the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.

Chipotle Crackle Cookies Recipe
I usually bake these special cookies for the holidays, but my family loves them so I bake them for their birthdays. The addition of ground chipotle chili pepper gives these cookies a little zing. The dough may be sticky so I dip my hands in confectioners' sugar for easier handling. —Gloria Bradley, Naperville, Illinois
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon toasted wheat germ
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
- 1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla until combined. Add melted chocolate. Combine the flour, wheat germ, baking powder, salt and chipotle pepper. Gradually add to egg mixture and mix well. Fold in chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Place confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Shape dough into 1-in. balls; roll in confectioners' sugar. Place 2 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.

I LOVE cracked cookies. They look so pretty without having to do any real work. Not to mention they taste delicious! I've made this recipe a couple times with much success, but mostly I use a cake mix and doctor it with chipotle pepper. This recipe gave me the great idea!

I-80 pot arrest near Ogallala
OGALLALA, Neb. (AP) _ Authorities say a California man has been arrested after 80 pounds of marijuana were found in a vehicle he was driving down Interstate 80 in western Nebraska.
The Nebraska State Patrol says a trooper pulled over a sport utility vehicle that had been speeding near the Roscoe interchange just after 5 p.m. Thursday.
The patrol says the driver gave permission for a vehicle search. The patrol says the pot was found in a duffel bag and a luggage carrier that had been placed in the back of the SUV.
The driver, who was alone in the SUV, was identified as 38-year-old Matthew Hornsby, of Mariposa, Calif.
A Keith County jailer said Hornsby remained in custody on Friday, pending $250,000 bail.

Here's a key matchup to watch in Sunday's Vikings-Cardinals game.
The Arizona Cardinals have released running back Beanie Wells after four injury-plagued seasons. A first-round pick in 2009, Wells showed flashes of the brilliance he had at Ohio State, but has only played one full season - his rookie year.||||||| Wells eclipsed 1,000 yards and scored 10 touchdowns in 2011, but was limited to eight games last season due to a turf toe injury. He ran for 234 yards and eight touchdowns.
The Arizona Cardinals have the services of running back Beanie Wells and wide receiver Andre Roberts for Sunday's game against Seattle.||||||| Wells is active despite a knee injury that limited his participation in practice all week.
According to the team's website, Wells believes he'll be ready to go when he comes off the injured reserve/able to return list for the Nov. 25 home game against the St. Louis Rams.||||||| Wells has been out with torn ligaments in his toe.

Wells' return will be a boost to a running game that ranks 30th out of 32 NFL teams. The time off also allowed Wells to rest his surgically repaired knee, which was still bothering him.
Arizona has removed Wells from the physically unable to perform list, clearing him to begin practicing with the team.||||||| Wells has been unable to practice since undergoing knee surgery after last season. Wells rushed for more than 1,000 yards last season despite being bothered by the sore knee.

Hyndburn toddler set to be home for first birthday
2:30pm Tuesday 15th January 2013 in Hyndburn By Emma Cruces, Education reporter
A MUM is set to celebrate a landmark birthday for her daughter after a rollercoaster year.
Sienna-Rose Young was born eight weeks early last year, weighing only 3lb 1oz, and after three days she needed life-saving surgery to treat an infected bowel.
Surgeons have now removed a feeding tube from Sienna-Rose's nose and throat as she approaches her first birthday.
Doctors had told mum Romi-Jane Young and the rest of the family to prepare for the worst, as Sienna-Rose underwent seven major operations and spent weeks in intensive care.
She was born so premature, her bowels were not fully developed and broke away, becoming infected when she started feeding.
At just six days old, Sienna-Rose was christened and blessed by a priest in hospital.
Now Romi-Jane, a support worker at GS Social Care, Great Harwood, said she was looking forward to seeing her daughter make further progress at Accrington's Holly House where therapists are helping the family.
Romi-Jane hopes their programme can help Sienna-Rose catch up on her development after her complications.
She said: "Since she came home from hospital in the summer, he is laughing and smiling and we haven't needed to go back into hospital except for this operation.
"We are hoping to welcome her home soon, then have a big family celebration for her birthday.
"It will be much better because she would pull at the tube, or the stickers would come loose. Then we would have to call out the community nurses to put it back in. It was a horrible experience for her to have the tube shoved back down her throat each time".
Sienna-Rose is due home from Manchester Children's Hospital in the next few days. She now weighs a healthy weight and her bowel has also grown to a substantial length. Doctors do not expect any further health complications.

cleaning small parts
Thought I would share this: To clean small parts (nuts, bolts, washers and other small parts) I took a Jif jar, put about 2 inches of fine sand, then added a degreaser-cleaner, added hot water to within 2 inches of the top, installed the lid, shake-shake-shake and I was amazed as to how clean these parts came out!

If you want to "Automate" cleaning the bolts, nuts, etc. Check out the "TIP" from Ralph:
It works, I've been doing for awhile now.
Mike Duncan
Yes it would. That's one job I use mine for. I haven't tried using sand. I just add some solvent to a can full of nuts and bolts, start the shaker and leave till it gets quiet again. Coffee cans don't last very long, but I drink a lot of coffee.

Hey Perk, good idea and I'll try it. Do you use any special cleaner or just any old good cleaner will do? Oh and by the way, welcome to the Forum!
i have wandered how my tumbler for reloading ammunition would work . maybe use some sand instead of walnut shells that are used for brass casings

I do use one of the rock tumblers
They work very well.
A little advice and a few words of caution
DO Not buy the double drum as it has the same little motor on the single and the double and it is undersize for the double drum unit.
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/d ... mber=46376
you will also need to first thing take the top off to access the belt take it off and get a large O ring the correct size as the belt.
once you have the O ring put the original belt back on it .
the O ring you got for a spare will be appreciated at that unusual hour that you need it as you Will SHURELY need it. the factory belt is good for about 24 hours of tumble and it will break . The O ring however will last for a long time.
Do Not Overload it !!!!!!!!!
it says 3 pound but that is the sand water and cleaner and bolts.
I put what would amount to a set of front and rear lugs(20) and a set of square wheel bolta and nuts ( in a load
Put some degreaser powder tide or mean green or your favorite cleaner put some sand and water and let it tumble for about 12 hours .
i have cleaned 100 plus pounds of bolts and hardware and it does a good job.
Thanks Ralph

Another take on the Jif jar for small parts
The Jif jar is a great idea since it allows you to keep your small parts separate from the "BIG" parts. If you have really small parts that you want to clean, get a tea ball from the grocery store or an Asian food store. A tea ball is a pair of fine mesh stainless steel hemispheres that usually snap or clip together. They are intended to allow you to steep tea leaves to make a pot of tea. If it is good enough for the FDA, it is good enough to clean my Cub parts. The size is limited, but I've got one that is 2" in diameter. It will hold a lot of set screws, or other little parts that need special treatment.
For the next step up from a tea ball, go back to the kitchen store and look for collandars or sieves made with stainless steel mesh. They come in a variety of sizes and you can usually find one that will fit into your container of degrease solution. Take a couple of pieces of stainless steel welding rod to bend up some handles. After the handles are attached, it is like having your own dip tank.
I stress stainless steel because I discovered that the Purple Stuff is death on aluminum. Since I'm on a roll here...
I use a black plastic bucket for my purple degreasing solution. I find that leaving the bucket outside exposed to the sun heats the solution and the hot solution is much more effective that room temperature solution.
To minimize evaporation of the purple solution, I made a lid out of 1/4" ply with pieces of quarter round molding glued on to hold the lid in place. Once the lid is primed and painted with some leftover alkyd enamel and a handle attached, it looks almost "uptown".
I also keep a second bucket full of water to rinse the part after it comes out of the purple solution. This stops the action of the degreaser and then I dry the part with a rag or paper towels. This is kinda like a stop bath in photography.
Just some thoughts,
Dr. Spiff

Thread: PFT Ten-Pack: Week Two

PFT Ten-Pack: Week Two
POSTED 6:13 p.m. EDT, September 19, 2006
Plenty of Karma for Culpepper.
To the extent that karma applies to pro football, Daunte Culpepper's downfall came in 2005, when he tried to parlay one of the best single-season quarterback performances in NFL history into a bunch of new money.
The Vikings complied, moving forward some of his backloaded deal.
And Culpepper then proceeded to stink it up in 2005.
But even after having a horrible season that was ended prematurely due to a horrific knee injury, Culpepper wanted more money.
He even fired his agent and began representing himself in an effort to get more coin.
In the end, Culpepper looked like the winner, finagling a trade to his home state of Florida and getting a fresh start with an up-and-coming franchise.
However, it appears that bad karma still has Culpepper's name on its "to do" list.
The eighth-year pro has looked flat-out horrible in his two starts with the Fins.
Culpepper's passer rating of 69.2 is even lower than the 72.0 he posted in 2005, light years from that 110.9 he somehow mustered in 2004.
It's easy to point to the departure of Randy Moss from Minnesota as the beginning of the end for Culpepper, but Daunte was stellar in 2004 even while Moss was nursing a hamstring injury.
It's also fashionable to credit Culpepper's past performance to former Vikings offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, but Culpepper is back in the offense that Linehan used in Minnesota.
[img width=349 height=391]http://www.profootballtalk.com/Fumblepepper.jpg[/img]
"Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something?"
Our conclusion?
Though Culpepper is capable of periodically playing well (or, as in 2004, very, very well), he's not a consistent "A"-lister, and he simply isn't the kind of guy who can pick up a team on his back and carry it to greater heights.
We're not saying that the Fins won't win games.
But if they ever make it beyond the first week of the postseason, it won't be because of Culpepper.
It will be in spite of him.5.
No Maas.
It's not fair for us to focus all of our venom at Joey Sunshine.
There are plenty of other incompetent sock puppets out there, and the possible king of the Sunday afternoon hill is FOX's Bill Maas.
Maas worked the Carolina-Minnesota game this weekend, with some guy named Steve Byrnes, who very well might have been just grabbed out of a Metrodome men's room and slapped into a suit.
But it was hard to notice Byrnes' mediocrity, given Maas's complete incompetence.
Here's just a summary of our gripes with Maas, who never, ever, ever should be allowed into a press box again.
Unless he's delivering pizzas.
(Even then, he should be prohibited from saying a single word, other than "This one has the anchovies.")
In the second quarter, Maas ripped Vikings quarterback Brad Johnson for throwing the ball into the ground while being manhandled by Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers some 12 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
In so doing, Maas implied that taking the penalty was somehow worse than taking the sack.
It's not.
Taking the sack results in the ball at the spot of the tackle and the loss of a down.
So does the penalty for intentional grounding.
The only real difference is that it reduced Peppers' sack total for the game from four to three.
On consecutive plays in the first half, Maas tried to spot Panthers receiver Keyshawn Johnson on the telestrator.
On both occasions, Maas circled the wrong guy.
Also, Maas went on and on after a first-half play in which Panthers defensive tackle Jordan Carstens split left guard Steve Hutchinson and left tackle Bryant McKinnie to make a key tackle.
After a commercial, Maas conceded that it actually was Hutchinson and Matt Birk who'd been divided by Carstens, not Hutch and McKinnie.
But Maas never bothered to mention the replay that showed Hutchinson releasing the block prematurely and moving to the next level in search of another defender to hit.
Our complaints with Maas aren't confined to matters of ability.
He was a tad disingenuous, too.
Near the end of the first half, the Vikings started a drive in their own end with 11 seconds left and all three time outs.
The dude they found in the men's room asked Maas whether he thought the Vikes would try to move the ball, or whether they'd just run out the clock and head to the locker room.
In answering the question, Maas deliberately took his time until he could see the beginning of the "quarterback kneel" formation as the players broke the huddle.
Maas then proclaimed that the Vikings wouldn't try to move the ball.
Said Maas in an effort to kill time until the huddle broke:
"Well, I think given that they're at home . . . . given that they understand what they're gonna do . . . . you take a knee."
Maas pulled a similar routine later in the game, delaying his two cents regarding whether Minnesota receiver Troy Williamson landed in bounds until Maas could see via the replay that he did not.
"It looked to me as if . . . . . . . . his right hand hit out of bounds before his right foot did."
Also, Maas insisted that the crowd was booing when it was obviously chanting "Smoot" (for Vikings corner Fred), Maas presumed that Panthers punt returner Chris Gamble's ill-advised lateral to a teammate was not a called play, and Maas went out of his way to throw "attagirls" to sideline reporter Dawn Mitchell, who was (and how do we put this kindly?) absolutely pig-freaking horrendous.

Re: PFT Ten-Pack: Week Two
I thought that about Maas when I listened to him on Sunday - where the hell did Fox dig him up from? It would help for the commentators to have some idea of what they were watching but you wonder if this guy knows one end of the ball from the other.
Loved the comaparison to a sock puppet, though can imagine there will be some Sesame Street characters complaining about associated with Maas
;DTime spent annoying a Packer fan is never time wasted...

Mass Killer In Norway Declares 'I Would Have Done It Again'
by Mark Memmott
The man who massacred 77 people last July in Norway said today in court that "I would have done it again," The Associated Press reports.
Anders Behring Breivik, an anti-Muslim extremist, again insisted he is the leader of "an 'anti-communist' resistance movement and an anti-Islam militant group he called the Knights Templar," the wire service adds.
It was last July 22 when Breivik first set off a bomb in Oslo, then drove to a nearby island and attacked a Labor Party youth camp.
In a statement to the court today, the admitted killer said "the attacks on July 22 were a preventive strike. I acted in self-defense on behalf of my people, my city, my country. ... I therefore demand to be found innocent of the present charges."

For this week's five questions about the Patriots, we talked to veteran OLB Tully Banta-Cain. Off the field, Banta-Cain raps and signs under the name 'Nova-Cain' and he told us about that skill. He also discussed this year's linebacking crew.
1. Where did you get your start and inspiration into the world of music?
Banta-Cain: I've always been a part of music because of my Dad, he's the lead singer of a band. When I was a kid, I used to watch him perform and go on stage with him. Naturally, I was always around people playing instruments and shows. I didn't really start recording until I got into college. I always had a knack for it and I just started taking it more seriously. Just like anything, the more you practice the better you get in it, like football. I've gotten to the point where I'm confident enough where I can put something out and I've got some good feedback from people.
2. Why is having music as an off-the-field hobby so important to you?
Banta-Cain: It's a good way to express myself as an artist. When you play football, you express yourself physically on the field. You don't really get a chance to express yourself verbally. That's why it works out because it gives me a chance to really give people a peek into my life.
3. At linebacker, you have a couple rookies starting in Brandon Spikes and Jermaine Cunningham. What has been your role with the group as a veteran on the team?
Banta-Cain: The big thing with us is competition. I just try to be the best competitor I can be in practice and in games — that's the example I try to set. If you work hard and do your job, you compete. We got a good mix of guys that do a lot of things when you put them in a competitive setting; everyone is going to play at their best. The result of that is we've got a lot of guys playing well this season.
4. How do you guys maintain your composure and refuse to respond to some of the things the Jets' players and coaches have said this week?
Banta-Cain: Our focus is on the game itself and not anything else. That's really our mentality going into the game. We do our talking on the field.
5. You're a part of the After-School All Stars' Touchdown vs. Shutdown initiative and donate $1,000 for every sack this season. What is the significance of that charity to you?
Banta-Cain: I was a kid once who was at risk. I grew up with a single mother, and football was really the only recreational thing that I had. If it weren't for that, I would have been on the streets. I can relate to the program because I can see another kid needing an opportunity to do something when school gets out. That's the significance for me. When I'm out there, I'm aware of it, but I'm motivated for a lot of reasons on the field.
