An orange/tan colored pale ale, this beer has a slight chill haze and a nose that offers some citrus, bread, and caramel notes. The foam level is good and it leaves a nice amount of lacing as you consume.
This beer has a flavor profile similar to what you expect for the style. Toasted malts, biscuits, caramel, pine, and bread greet the palate first, balanced by the flavor of citrus and peppery hops in the finish. You get some earthy character along with some floral and citrus hops and some peppery spice to keep it interesting.
This pale ale isn't an amazing representation of the style, but it isn't too bad and it's got enough going for it to earn a small stamp of approval. The carbonation seems a little low and the overall taste doesn't hit it out of the park, but it's a decent offering nonetheless.

12 oz can. Pours clear reddish amber with a medium creamy off-white head that quickly goes to a thin film that leaves some lacing.
The aroma is biscuity caramel malts with some hops and some vegetal notes.
The flavor is lots of toasted biscuity caramel malts with some earthy plastic bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is light bodied and pretty watery.
Overall, it's more like a biscuity amber with some off-notes.

Poured out looking blond and a little hazy. White head, dissipates quicker than a white girl's looks after getting married. Weird herbal aroma, not in the herbal hop way, herbal in that they knocked something off the spice cabinet into this. How about some hop aroma bro? A little bit vegetal and plastic like.
Taste was very grassy, still not quite arriving at the level of being hoppy. Biscuit flavors and spice rack accoutrement all over this. Some lager like yeastiness to this. Man, this beer is all over the place. At times tastes like they blend this with a witbier. Soapy exterior in the mouthfeel.
Its got bitterness on it, but it just doesn't taste like a pale ale. Everything about it seems off for style. I wasn't picking up on a heftier malt base or any caramel notes. The herbal spicing was just weird. The lack of hops, or anything they impart flavor wise.
Had they called this a witpale, I might have found it to be above average, but as just a pale ale, its just kind of a headscratcher.

(Served in a bowtie glass)
A- This beer pours a deep crystal clear copper color with an antique white head that last as a thin meniscus. There is a good carbonation that pops to the surface.
S- The clean aroma has some pine hop notes and a cream quality with some buttery diacetyl growing a bit as it warms.
T- The caramel malt leads to a dry buttery note in the finish with some woody hop hints mixed in. There is a spicy hop hint that lingers just a bit in the aftertaste. As the beer opens the taste turns watery.
M- The light mouthfeel has a scrubbing fizz in the finish.
O- This beer is malt forward with a hint of hops and a bit to much buttery taste with the fizz scrubbing any hops out of the finish.

Small off white to tan head settles into a nice lacing above a clear copper colored pale ale.
Light sour citrus to grassy hops aroma without any dominate fruit taking center stage.
Citrus, piney, and almost grassy hops taste with some dryness also.
A lasting light dry aftertaste with some of the hops aspects sticking around with this medium to light medium bodied beer.
A decent tasting pale but it just seems to miss the mark slightly on being a really recommendable pale ale.

12oz can, from Tipsy's Liquor World in extreme western Denver.
This beer pours a hazy medium copper amber hue, with three fingers of puffy, and overacting bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some stellar honeycombed lace around the glass as things seep away.
It smells of musty, dank pine needle hops, bready caramel malt, a bit of blood orange, guava, and tropical melon fruitiness, a touch of black pepper, and further, understated earthy, floral hops. The taste is still musty and clammy, but with the hops having sneakily skipped town, leaving only an echo of rotting pine tree and muted stale citrus in its place, with some weakly biscuity bready malt taking up the flag in its sudden absence, a bit of spicy pepper and earthy, weedy hops rounding things out.
The bubbles are fairly well sublimated, the body an adequate medium weight, and kind of pithy in its smoothness. It finishes off-dry, the bready caramel malt pulling cleanup duty for the near DOA hops.
Bleh. There is mention on the label of 'fading hops bitterness', and while I'm not sure we share the same interpretation of the concept, in the end, all that matters is that this is one bland, muted affair for the style, the overbearing musty, clammy character having no place in a worthy APA. A bit of a shame that I wasted suitcase space on this one.

Gettin Crazy with a lil Mountain Livin Pale Ale...picked up a can at the singles selve at my local Binny's. The beer pours a clear copper with foamy slightly offwhite head that is leaving a lace. The smell has bitter citrus tones with a touch of bread. The taste has a good initial balance with sweet malt countering a nice citrus....the end turn more of a bitter citrus. The mouthfeel is medium in boday with good carbonation. Overall its a decent pale ale.

A - good color. Kind of a sunsety goldenrod body with a white head. Good lacing.
N - peach flavors and some fruity hop notes followed by a little toasty malt.
T - not unlike the nose but a little... flatter maybe. The taste isn't that exciting but it is good.
M - fair body. Again it comes off a little unexciting.
O - very dede t pale ale offering. Would drink again.

Pours a clear amber color with a minimal head that quickly settled to a thin film. Moderate amount of spotty lacing is left down the glass.
Grassy hop aroma with quite a bit of biscuity malt. Also strong yeast esters that smell a lot like pears.
The flavor is rather pedestrian. Do not think it is old as it just showed up on store shelves. Does have some grassy hop flavor but the flavor consists mostly of biscuit like malt and yeast esters. Again with pears. BItterness seems moderate.
Medium body but just a tad undercarbonated. Just lacks pop on the palate.
With the shelves jammed with pale ales, this one will get quickly pushed out of the way. Decent but no reason to buy again.

NEW: DePetro AP Award Blasted by For Our Daughters Chair
Thursday, April 10, 2014
"I'd be curious for someone to explain the criteria for receiving this award. If misogyny and dehumanizing women is on the list, then I would agree that they found their man," said Martin.
De Petro's win in the Talk Show Division "B" Radio category is one of over 45 AP awards that were announced this week for Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
DePetro on the Record
"It is great to win best talk show, because it is so competitive, I work really hard on my show, and it is rewarding to be recognized for it. My philosophy is simple. I like to do an entertaining show on current events, with conflict. The listeners enjoy my sense of humor and the caller interaction is tremendous," said DePetro, who noted he last won an AP award in 2008.
DePetro continued, "You always have critics regardless of what you say or do, so thin skinned politicians and the unions upset over my criticism was par for the course. The listeners ( the people) love my radio show and that is all that really matters."
Last month, the For Our Daughter campaign protested two show sponsors, Place Jewelers and The Remington House, in an ongoing effort to oust DePetro after the host labeled a group of women assembled outside a fundraiser for RI General Treasurer Gina Raimondo as "w-h-o-r-e-s" in a radio broadcast last September.

Arbitron Ratings Scandal
In 2008, radio host John DePetro found himself in the midst of a ratings controversy. The Boston Herald reported,
The briefly stellar ratings of controversy-dogged-talkmeister John DePetro's Providence radio show tanked yesterday after a whiff of scandal forced Arbitron to reissue its spring survey of listener-dial habits.
In the 6 to 10 a.m. weekday slot occupied by the self-proclaimed "Independent Man" on WPRO-AM (630), "the reissue ranked WPRO at number nine" among valued 25- to 54-year-old listeners, "down from the number four rank in the original release," program manager Paul Giammarco and station market manager Barbara Haynes announced in a joint statement.
Office Scuffle
The Providence Journal's Mike Stanton reported on an altercation in 2009 between DePetro and radio host Ron St. Pierre.
DePetro said he was hit -- and scratched -- in the eye with a balled up paper with a staple thrown at him by St. Pierre.
Buddy's Return - to Radio
After five years in prison for racketeering conspiracy from 2002 to 2007, former Mayor of Providence Buddy Cianci returned to the public eye with a radio show on WPRO.
While controversial, Cianci's continued popularity has people wondering if Buddy might just make another run for Mayor in 2014.
Chafee's Talk Radio Ban
Upon taking office in 2011, Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee announced that he would not appear on talk radio shows and barred state employees in agencies and departments that report to him from doing the same during work hours.
Governor Chafee is among the elected officials who have signed the "For Our Daughters" pledge.
Dennis and Callahan
WEEI sports radio hosts John Dennis and Gerry Callahan were suspended in 2003 when they referred to an escaped gorilla as a "Metco gorilla" waiting for a bus to Lexington -- with Metco being bus program that buses inner-city students to suburban schools.
Boston's http://www.wcvb.com/Radio-Station-Gorilla-Remarks-Spur-Advertiser-Concerns/-/9849586/11281756/-/5lg3o9z/-/index.html#ixzz2nbPAwzd2" target="_blank">WCVB reported that advertisers Dunkin' Donuts and Blue Cross pulled back station support in light of the incident.
Severin Suspended
WTKK's Jay Severin was fired for making comments about sleeping with female employees over the years.
Radio Ink reported on Greater Media's reaction to the incident.
"Greater Media today ended its relationship with Jay Severin. Our company has always encouraged a free and open dialogue on a variety of issues and topics, and we will continue to be guided by that principle. But we also demand that our on-air talent maintain an appropriate level of civility, and adhere to a standard that respects our listeners and the public at large.
Imus' Racial Remarks
in 2007, nationally syndicated talk show host Don Imus called Rutgers women's basketball players "nappy-headed hos." Imus was suspended -- then fired -- by CBS Radio.
Five years later, Imus was back on the national radio circuit, as reported by New Jersey.com
Rush Limbaugh
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh is no stranger to controversy; his latest remarks prompted the Democratic National Committee to call on Republican leaders to boycott the Daily Caller, which defended Limbaugh's remarks in an article entitled, "Liberals want to stop men from checking out women."

You are totally irrelevant considering everything else happening in the country and our little state. Nothing more than a bunch of union minions making irritating noise.
PS: I seldom listen to DePetro or talk radio for that matter.

(why do conservatives think Buddy Cianci is a "Great American" ?)
Comment #6 by Sammy Arizona on 2014 04 10
I like how the unions have used his dumb comments to angle an attack on a critic and to see it fail is great. It would be nice if the failure was a leading indicator of waning union influence in Rhode Island. Probably not.
I'm not going to listen to his radio station, but I am going to start going to Remington House more.

I was never a fan of John DePetro, what he said was unacceptable and any where else it would have been a firing offense (see Jay Severin and Imus). It is still a business decision of WPRO, and no one else's.

Ally Bank's Commercial With Guy Who Loses Out At The Grocery Checkout Line
Ally Bank's Commercial With Guy Who Loses Out At The Grocery Checkout Line
Saturday, May 12, 2012 - 10:33 AM
Ally Bank
Have you seen this latest Ally commercial? It shows the reaction of a man at a grocery checkout line who loses out on a $50,000 check after he lets another guy go ahead of him in line. As that guy gets ready to pay, balloons fall, music plays and the store manager presents the guy with a $50,000 check for being the one millionth customer.
As the guy who lost out stares in quiet disbelief, the commercial says "people don't like missing out on money that should have been theirs. That's why at Ally we have the Raise Your Rate 2-year CD. You can get a one-time rate increase if our 2-year rate goes up."
It's probably the best of Ally's recent commercials. Ally commercials received a lot fame when they had the kids in the commercials who were treated poorly by a banker-like man.
Although it's entertaining, it makes me wonder why Ally doesn't promote its small early withdrawal penalty if they are really concerned that "people don't like missing out on money that should have been theirs". They never had a commercial that said if rates go up, just close your CD with a small penalty and reinvest into a higher paying CD.
Of course for us customers we would prefer Ally spend that money on higher deposit rates instead of marketing. It's interesting that Ally is still putting so much effort into growth when their deposits have gone up by so much. According to an
April 30th press release
"total retail deposits grew to $29.3 billion, up 25 percent from the first quarter of 2011."

Ken: "They never had a commercial that said if rates go up, just close your CD with a small penalty and reinvest into a higher paying CD."
I don't think Ally or any bank actually wants to encourage depositors to use their small penalty and reinvest into a higher paying CD. I think it is just a come on to get more deposits. I don't think we will see them actually do a commercial on that.
I did see that ad about the guy who missed out on the $50,000 and it upsets me cause it seems like something that would happen to me. Now I want them to add a part showing the other guy sharing the money with him. That would be the right thing to do and make me much happier. :)

The language about slavery and marriage in the far-right pledge signed by Michele Bachmann wasn't just wildly offensive, it was also just plain wrong, as historian Tera W. Hunter explains in a Times op-ed today. Ignoring how slavery actually tore apart families is, she writes, "part of a broad and deliberate amnesia" that is not only rooted in pro-slavery tradition, but actively trying to deny a legacy of injustice in the present.

Corvias ECAC Men's Soccer Players of the Week (for week ending October 6, 2013)
Division I
Co-Offensive Players of the Week
Emil Ekblom – Syracuse University
Freshman, Forward, Bekkestua, Norway
Ekblom had a hand in four of the Orange's five goals in the team's 5-0 shutout of NC State on Oct. 4. Ekblom assisted on SU's second goal of the match, and closed the game's scoring with three consecutive tallies to record the first hat trick for an SU player since 2008. Ekblom's three goals is the most for an ACC player in one game this season, and his seven total points against the Wolfpack eclipsed the previous SU Soccer Stadium record of six shared by several players. On Oct. 1, Ekblom led the Orange offense with four shots in a 2-1 victory against Binghamton.
Maid Memic – Hofstra University
Junior, Forward, Kozarac, Bosnia
Memic contributed two goals and an assist as Hofstra posted victories over Rutgers (3-0) and UNCW (2-0) last week. The junior forward assisted on the Pride's first goal and scored the second one at Rutgers and then had the game-winning goal in the CAA triumph against UNCW. Memic has scored a goal in four straight games and leads the Pride with six this season.
Defensive Player of the Week
Borja Barbero – University of Delaware
Junior, Goalkeeper, Valladolid, Spain
Barbero made six saves and earned the shutout as Delaware defeated No. 7 UMBC 1-0 in double overtime last Tuesday. It was the Blue Hens' first-ever victory over a team ranked in the top 10. UD was out-shot 13-10 in the match, but Barbero picked up his third shutout of the year and lowered his GAA to 1.29.
Division II
Co-Offensive Players of the Week
Francisco Sastre – Post University
Sophomore, Forward, Sao Paolo, Brazil
Scored three goals this week in two Post victories. At Caldwell, he scored the game-winner in the 81st minute with a shot from 18 yards out. Against Wilmington on Oct. 5, he was a part of all three Eagles' goals in a 3-1 victory. Sastre scored twice and assisted on another for Post's sixth-straight victory.
Eivind Austboe – LIU Post
Junior, Forward, Stavanger, Norway
Austboe tallied four goals on the week to up his Division II leading total to 14. He notched a goal in a 3-0 shutout of Roberts Wesleyan on Oct. 4 and then recorded a hat trick, including the deciding tally, in a 9-1 rout of Daemen on Oct. 6.
Co-Defensive Players of the Week
Andres Ruiz – Dominican College
Senior, Goalkeeper, Medellin, Colombia
Ruiz made 20 total saves (.909 save percentage) in a 1-0-1 week for the Chargers, while allowing only two goals for a 0.97 goals against average. He had 14 saves against #18 Mercy College in the 2-2 2OT tie.
Agustin Prados – University of Bridgeport
Junior, Goalkeeper, Madrid, Spain
Prados notched consecutive shutouts in a 1-0 road win at St. Thomas Aquinas and a 2-0 road victory at Molloy last week. Agustin has now recorded three straight cleans sheets for the Purple Knights. In the two wins, he recorded a total of nine saves, stopping four shots at STAC and five at Molloy.
Division III New England
Offensive Player of the Week
Scott Douglas – Keene State College
Senior, Forward, East Greenwich, RI
Douglas recorded 10 points, on four goals and two assists, to power Keene State to a 2-0 mark this past week. The senior from East Greenwich, R.I. registered a hat trick and dished out a helper to lead the Owls to a non-conference victory over Salem State. On Saturday, Douglas scored the game-winning goal in the 107th minute as Keene State outlasted Rhode Island College 3-2. He also set up the equalizer in the 69th minute to forge a 2-2 tie.

Co-Offensive Players of the Week

Sophomore, Forward, Northport, NY

In the Red Dragons' 2-1 come-from-behind win at Plattsburgh on Saturday, Johnson netted the game-winning goal on a header 6:56 into overtime. For the season, Johnson is tied for the team lead with five goals and leads the Red Dragons with three game-winners.

Nick Escalante – SUNY Canton
Sophomore, Forward, Whittier, Calif.
Escalante tallied a remarkable six points having a hand in all four of SUNY Canton's goals, including scoring the game-winner, as the unranked Roos handled No. 8 SUNY ESF, 4-1, Sunday afternoon. The sophomore netted his first goal of the day just 5:28 in off a penalty kick as he calmly drained the attempt. In the 26th minute he took a pass and carefully chipped the ball over the charging Mighty Oak keeper into the top left corner to give the Roos a 2-0 lead. After SUNY ESF got within 2-1 the forward was crucial in setting up two SUNY Canton second half goals as the Roos cruised to victory. His first assist came off a corner kick where he found a teammate cutting in front of net for a header. Minutes later he received a pass at the top of the box and headed it to an open teammate for the score. Escalante was remarkably accurate as three of his four shots challenged Oak keeper Mike Walczyk.
Marco Paparo – Penn State Abington
Senior, Forward, Elkins Park, Pa.
The senior forward led the Nittany Lions to a pair of NEAC wins last weekend behind totals of three goals and an assist. In a rematch of last year's NEAC Championship, Paparo netted the game-winning goal four minutes into overtime to give the Nittany Lions a 1-0 win over the defending champion Morrisville State College Mustangs Saturday while handing them their first conference loss of the season. He continued to remain hot on offense on Sunday, scoring two goals and adding an assist in an 8-1 win over Cazenovia College to help the Nittany Lions remain a perfect 5-0 in NEAC play while improving to 9-2 overall. Paparo leads the NEAC in both goals (9) and points (23) this season.

NEW YORK — Smithfield Foods executives, who have run one of the worst-performing large U.S. food makers over the past five years, are set to reap at least $85.4 million from its sale to Chinas Shuanghui International Holdings.
The company has been under pressure from its biggest shareholder for lagging behind competitors Hormel Foods and Tyson Foods. Continental Grain, which has a 6.8 percent stake, said in March that Smithfield should appoint new managers and break itself into three businesses as rising animal-feed costs made its hog-production unit unprofitable.
The total payout is based on the stock and share options held by Smithfields five top executives, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Among the managers, CEO Larry Pope owns stock valued at $25.4 million based on the $34-per-share offer price, according a May 17 filing.
Pope would also get $11 million for his share options, according to Smithfields most recent proxy filing in August, which based its calculation on control of the company changing on April 29, 2012. The stock on that date was 38 percent less than the price that Chinas biggest pork producer agreed to pay this week. The other four executives also stand to get paid out on their options.
Keira Lombardo, a Smithfield spokeswoman, declined to comment on the payouts.
The Smithfield senior managers, among the best-paid in their industry, will stay on after the takeover, the company said March 29 when it announced the takeover.
Thats despite Smithfield posting a negative return of 18 percent in the five years through March 28, the second-worst performance of any U.S. food company with annual sales of $10 billion or more, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Grain trader Bunge was the worst in the period.
In a March 7 letter, Continental executives urged Smithfield management and its board to focus on creating value for investors, who have seen very little benefit from the progress the company has made. During that time, Smithfield paid no cash dividends; in contrast, Tyson has cumulatively paid $429 million, and Hormel paid $728 million, according to the letter.
Smithfield Executive Vice President Joseph W. Luter IV, a descendant of the family that founded the Smithfield, Va., company, has stock valued at $21.1 million. He would get a $1.1 million payment on his options, according to the August proxy filing.
Chief Financial Officer Robert Manly has $13.4 million of stock and would get a change-of-control payment of $5.3 million, filings show. The other executives are Chief Operating Officer George Richter and Joseph Sebring, president of the companys John Morrell unit.
Chairman Joseph W. Luter III, Luters father and Popes predecessor as CEO, has $30 million of stock.
The five executives stand to get even more if their employment is terminated during the takeover or within two years of the change of ownership, according to the August filing. In that case, total compensation and share sales would be at least $126.4 million.
Pope, 58, got total compensation of $16.5 million last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The CEO, Manly, Richter and Joseph Luter IV received a combined $41.5 million last year. Thats the most for any group of senior managers at a U.S. food company except those at Illinois-based Mondelez International, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Buying Smithfield would give closely held Shuanghui control of a company that owns 460 farms and the Smithfield, Farmland and Eckrich packaged-meat brands. Smithfields livestock unit raises about 15.8 million hogs a year, according to the companys website.
The deal needs approval from Smithfield shareholders and regulators including the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment. It is expected to close in the second half of 2013.

KISSONLINE spoke earlier tonight with Donnie Coleman of Tennessee about his great customized KISS Truck. He told us that he has loved KISS for over 30 years and this truck is a living work of art and tribute to them, the Greatest Rock N Roll band of all time. The truck is a one of a kind, original, custom 1997 Ford KF-150 KISS Truck. Donnie has spent thousands of man hours customizing it, and tens of thousands of dollars in modifications, and for almost 10 years has shown the truck at car and truck shows around the country. KISS modifications include a mural of Gene Simmons on the hood, Gene's icon and the KISS logo on all four sides, fog lights on top - each containing a letter that spells KISS on the light covers and the Ford logo painted white with the KISS logo. Other KISS items are attached throughout and an awesome handpainted mural of the "Love Gun" album cover on the tailgate completes the KISS modifications. The KISS truck has been in hundreds of auto shows, both local and national, and has won many awards including World of Wheels National Car Show, where it took 1st place all 5 times Donnie attended! The truck has won a total of 81 trophies and awards including Best of Show, Best Truck, Best Ford Truck, People's Choice, Award of Excellence, Most Unique, Most Unusual, One of a Kind, Kleenest of the Kleen, Outstanding Contemporary, Best Graphics, Best Chrome as well as twelve 1st Place in Show!

Donna Cochran doesn't have children, but her two dogs are just as precious to her as offspring. So when Bentley, a 10-year-old black and tan cocker spaniel tore his ACL in August, Cochran didn't think twice about opting for the nearly $5,000 surgery to repair her dog's leg.
Her decision was made much easier by the pet insurance policy that she purchased two weeks before Bentley's injury. The policy covered 90 percent of the procedure's cost, leaving Cochran with a modest out-of-pocket expense.
"My dogs are like my kids," the Geyserville resident said. "I would have done the surgery anyway. The insurance eased the pain for me."
Cochran, who is the office manager for Santa Rosa-based Vista Broadband, is one of a growing number of pet owners who have health insurance for their animals.
Advances in veterinarian medicine have made life-saving procedures like chemotherapy and kidney transplants available for pet owners — but at a cost. The American Pet Product Association projects that U.S. pet owners will spend nearly $13 billion on animal health care this year, yet less than 2 percent of the 75 million pets are insured.
"There are so many more technological innovations and treatments available today that your dog getting cancer isn't necessarily a death sentence," said Michael San Filippo, a spokesman for the American Veterinary Medical Association. "There are more procedures available, but they can leave pet owners wondering how to pay for it."
More employers are offering pet insurance as an employee benefit — about 3,600 companies, including a third of the Fortune 500. Pet health care as an employee benefit is one of the fastest growing segments of the nascent pet insurance industry, said Curtis Steinhoff, communications director for Veterinary Pet Insurance, the largest company in the market.
"The biggest trend is getting pet insurance through your employer," he said. "It's a benefit that employers can offer to employees without families."

Big effort by Maag has Cats leading by seven at intermission
Scottsbluff High School senior Jonathan Maag has done his part to help the Bearcats repeat as Class B state champions at the Nebraska Track and Field Championships at Omaha Burke Stadium this weekend.
The University of South Dakota football recruit finished second in the shot put Friday and as big as that eight points was, his eight point performance in the discus Saturday was even bigger.
Maag entered the state meet with just the 12th best district discus throw amongst the contestants. His 157-3 effort Saturday was nearly 13 feet better than his district best.
When Maag was done the Cats were up 50-37 over the Bison. McCook inched closer, at 50-43, after Austin Cherry finished third in the 400 meters.
That was the last event prior to intermission.
After the break there are four events left on the track. Scottsbluff should score points in the 1600 and 300 IM hurdles and the 1600 relay. They don't have anyone in the finals of the 200. There is just one field event remaining, the long jump where McCook has Jacob Schlager competing.
Kelsy Wood added more points to the Hemingford total. Her latest effort was a fourth place in the 100. She earlier got second in the 100 hurdles and she will close out her brilliant career with the 300 low hurdles after intermission.
Bayard's Alanda Kildow picked-up .33 points for a three-way tie for eighth in the Class C girls high jump.

The Complete Compost Gardening Guide: Banner Batches, Grow Heaps, Comforter Compost, and Other Amazing Techniques for Saving Time
Barbara Pleasant and Deborah L. Martin turn the compost bin upside down with their liberating system of keeping compost heaps right in the garden, rather than in some dark corner behind the garage. The compost and the plants live together from the beginning in a nourishing, organic environment. The authors' bountiful, compost-rich gardens require less digging, weeding, mulching, and even less planting. And here's one of the best parts -- no more backbreaking slogs from compost bin to garden. The authors even identify the plants that benefit most from compost and how the elements of a composted garden work together. A natural Six-Way Compost Gardening System provides the ruling principles for successfully improving every garden with healthy compost. Readers will learn how to: 1. Choose labor-saving sites that keep gardens and compost piles as close to one another as possible. 2. Work with the compostable riches produced at home. Every yard and kitchen produces plenty of material -- easily identified with at-a-glance charts -- for a great start. 3. Help composting critters do their work by balancing ingredients, adding high-nitrogen meals when needed, and keeping the compost moist. 4. Reuse recycling bin items, such as large plastic buckets and cardboard boxes, as composting equipment. 5. Keep diversity in the mix. The magic is in the variety of the components and how they work together to create "gardener's gold." 6. Customize composting to suit specific garden needs, always concentrating first on soil care. Adhering to these guidelines, Pleasant and Martin bring readers on a thorough, informative tour of materials and innovative techniques, leading the way to an efficient and rewarding home gardening system. Their methods are sure to help gardeners turn average vegetable plots into rich incubators of healthy produce, bursting with fresh flavor, and flower beds into rich tapestries of bountiful blooms all season long.
Keeping Chickens
Keeping Chickens, 2nd Edition is the perfect introduction to small flock poultry keeping. Not only are chickens useful (as both a food source and as consumers of weeds in the yard), but they are interesting and colorful creatures that make good pets and can enliven any garden. The book covers everything potential chicken farmers need to know about housing, feeding and welfare, plus it includes a section full of great egg recipes. Lively, authoritative text and a gorgeous gallery of chicken images make this book appealing to both casual and avid chicken enthusiasts.
The Joy of Keeping Chickens: The Ultimate Guide to Raising Poultry for Fun or Profit
Finally backyard farmers who want to keep a few hens for eggs have a bible that's attractive enough to leave out on the coffee table, and inexpensive enough to purchase on a whim. This comprehensive guide, written in charming prose from the perspective of an organic farmer, will appeal to readers who are interested in raising chickens, or simply want the best knowledge about how to cook them. With this in mind, farmer and animal expert Jennifer Megyesi discusses all the basic details of raising the birds-general biology, health, food, choosing breeds, and so on-and she cuts through the smoke to identify what terms like "organic," "free-range," and so on really mean for poultry farmers and consumers. No chicken book would be complete without information on how to show chickens for prizes, and this is no different, but The Joy of Keeping Chickens also stresses the importance of self-sustainability and organic living, and the satisfaction of keeping heirloom breeds. Readers will appreciate the comprehensive nature of this readable, informative guide, and Megyesi's enthusiasm about keeping chickens. Coupled with Geoff Hansen's gorgeous full-color photographs, this text makes for an instant classic in the category.

Just in Case: How to Be Self-Sufficient When the Unexpected Happens
When the power fails, prepared families settle in, stay warm, and eat well. With careful planning, organization, and a detailed assessment of the needs of each family member, it is possible for every household to survive at least several days with no outside services. A sensible home system will take over the work of providing warmth, shelter, and nutrition. Author Kathy Harrison guides readers through the empowering process of setting up such a home system with her OAR method - Organize existing supplies, Acquire additional necessities, Rotate everything for freshness. Her comprehensive coverage of emergency preparedness includes food storage, alternative heating sources, personal supplies for every family member, entertainment ideas, toiletry and proper clothing, pet supplies, emergency family communication plans, and neighborhood cooperatives. In addition to preparing the home for extended periods without electricity, Harrison also discusses evacuation plans - where to go, how to meet up with family, what to pack, and how best to protect all that's being left behind. Self-sufficiency at home or in a temporary safe haven takes away much of the fear and helplessness associated with disasters. "Just in Case" puts the power back in the hands of individuals who are equipped and ready to take over when public services fail. Disasters can strike an entire region or a single unlucky family. They can be brought on by weather (hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires, severe heat or cold, landslides) or by man (terrorism, acts of war, simple human error). Whatever the cause, these catastrophic events have the potential to disrupt routines and cost money and lives. Why not be one of the prepared few? Just in case . . . Review With the assumption that "many of us have a false sense of security... assuming that technology will prevail or that some government agency will bail us out in a crisis," this extensive guide gives detailed, down-to-earth advice on what to do when disaster strikes, be it a house fire, an ice storm or biological terrorism. Aided by charmingly retro illustrations vaguely reminiscent of a 1940s air raid brochure, Harrison ("Another Place at the Table") presents her "OAR" system for preparedness-organizing, acquiring and rotating supplies-and techniques to safely and even comfortably survive any kind of emergency. She shows how to prepare for a short-term crisis: building a supply of food and water; preparing first aid and evacuation kits; planning communication and a family meeting place in times of crisis. She also presents long-term strategies for self-sufficiency: "eliminating debt and securing a supply of cash in your home"; planting a garden, canning food and making cheese; replacing an inefficient fireplace with a woodstove; building a solar oven. Harrison shows that learning to do it yourself, besides providing some security in an increasingly insecure world, br

Select Route:
Haimovi Tower is a remote alpine peak resembling a laid back tower. No [bolts], there is only a vague, but stellar, trad route about 1400' from the lake to the summit, although not all of it requires to be roped climbing. The buttress is on the southeast side of the peak, but the approach is from the west, so it's a bit of a walk, over 6.5 miles. The descent is easily facilitated by walking down the west ridge to the saddle between Haimovi Tower and Haimovi Mountain. Then pick your way down grassy ledges and ramps to the meadow where the route starts. Gerry Roach's Indian Peaks book has a good description of trail and route (with a photo).
Getting There
Drive to Granby, if coming in from the Winter Park side drive a few miles further on US 34 until a major turn on the right for Lake Granby. Pay the man for your playtime. Follow the good road about 9-10 miles to the campground (big rock and moraine campgrounds) area near the end of the road. There are some signs for Roaring Fork Trail here. Park with your acronym approved pass ($5) clearly visible to avoid a fine. There seemed to be a plethora of officials lurking about.

Ex-Saint Jackson no longer 'the other guy'
Rickey Jackson has sometimes been "the other guy," not getting the recognition he deserved. That changed, however, when he was elected to the Hall of Fame.
People familiar with the situation say defensive end Will Smith and Vilma has agreed to restructure his contract in order to remain with the New Orleans Saints.||||||| The 31-year-old Smith and 30-year-old Vilma, both veteran defensive captains who were implicated in the NFL's bounty probe, would have consumed about $23 million combined in salary cap space had they not agreed to new deals before the new league year - and free agency - began Tuesday afternoon.
Vilma has asked a federal judge to allow him to move forward with his defamation case against NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.||||||| In a motion filed Wednesday, Vilma drops his case against the NFL's disciplinary process, now that his suspension has been lifted. However, he continues to pursue damages from Goodell for harm he alleges was done to his reputation by the NFL's bounty probe of the New Orleans Saints. In an NFL appeal ruling Tuesday, former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue threw out suspensions for Vilma and three other current and former Saints in connection with the bounty investigation.
Saints defensive end Will Smith says he and linebacker Jonathan Vilma will be present Friday when their lawyers cross examine former New Orleans defensive coordinator Gregg Williams in Washington, D.C. Williams appears at a bounty hearing on Friday morning, according to a schedule set by Paul Tagliabue.

They are among four players issued suspensions of various lengths in the league's probe of the Saints' cash-for-hits program. Smith and Vilma are playing while their appeals are pending. Williams and former Saints assistant Mike Cerullo were two of the NFL's central witnesses in the probe. Cerullo's appearance is scheduled for Thursday.
Vilma hopes to play a bigger role on the Saints' defense in his second game of the season Sunday against Denver. He said his knee, and his entire body, held up very well after the Tampa Bay game. He did not make a tackle but had one deflection and forced a near interception.||||||| Playing for the first time while appealing his season-long suspension for his role in the New Orleans' bounty program, Vilma played 18 snaps last Sunday against Tampa Bay. Vilma declined Friday to talk about any bounty-related topics leading into his appeals hearing Tuesday with former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who will decide whether to uphold Roger Goodell's ruling.
Vilma played for the first time on Sunday while appealing a season-long suspension due to his role in the Saints' bounty program, recording one quarterback hit and breaking up one pass.||||||| New Orleans still gave up a season-high 513 yards, but players said Vilma's return provided an emotional lift.

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
This past Sunday I hopped in my car and headed out to London, Ontario, for the opening of "The Home Grown Doll Show" at Dollirium.
With my trusty camera in tow, and a friend at my side, I enjoyed a short road trip to a small art gallery showcasing Canadian talent. And that included a few pieces from yours truly.
There is something very strange about walking into a building and finding your art there. And something comforting about it. It was like having a group of friends waiting for me.
I do love that Pilch - second figure from the left in the banner - is a big toothy ham in a group of some more serious looking faces.
I never know what to do in these sorts of situations. It's one thing to stand behind a table of your work and talk to people. It's another to mill about a crowded space where people might make conversation with you about the work on the wall.
It feels a lot like being at a party where you don't really know anyone. Since I am an introvert, that can be mildly uncomfortable. I was blessed to have so many things to preoccupy my attention or else I might have gotten twitchy...or in trouble.
At one point a couple were leaned in close to my figures, examining them, discussing them at length. It took all my willpower not to step beside them, my shoulder to theirs, and just start nodding thoughtfully.
I was a good ghoul.
In fact, I even made myself leave the room. When I came back, two of my pieces had sold (apparently to an owner of a Tattoo shop which will be their new home).
If you happen to be in the London, Ontario area, be sure to stop by Dollirium Art Doll Emporium from May 26th to July 5th, 2013.
The gallery is hosting a "Home Grown Doll Show" of artists from Ontario, and yours truly is part of it.
Opening reception is this evening from 7 pm to 10 pm and I'm so excited to be part of it, I'm actually going to be making the drive out from Toronto this evening to make a brief appearance.
I've had a sneak peek at the other artist's work, and am thrilled to be in such good company.
If you do make it tonight, I'll be the exhausted, disheveled woman. Nudge me awake and say hi.
Otherwise, you have more than a month to enjoy the show at your leisure.
The gallery is located at 1 Cliftonvale Ave.
If you don't see me, say hi to my figures. It's the first time they've been away from home besides going to new owners, and I'm concerned they might get upset one dark night...and possibly eat the other figures on display. I won't get charged for that, right?
Ah Georgina (or Georgie, as she's known to her friends).
All my other witches and hags have taught me that appearances can be deceiving, and labels are misleading. A witch isn't what you think she is, or expect her to be.
This is not the case with Georgina.
Georgina is the textbook witch. Open her cupboards and you will find eye of newt.
Cackle? Check.
Animal familiar (in this case, a bird)? Check.
Green, wrinkled skin? Check.
Pointy hat? Check.
The only thing missing is her broom, recently taken from her by the members of her coven for flying while inebriated. She'd misjudged her landing and collided with the community cauldron just as her sister witches were putting the last touches on a spell they'd been simmering for 3 days.
And I should mention that throwing water on her will not make her melt. It will only make her very, very angry.
This figure is approximately 12 inches tall.
What does it mean to be evil?
Tomas was born a demon, but I sense he's more naughty than nefarious.
Sure, he isn't planting flowers and raising bunnies, but he isn't burning down churches or enslaving souls either.
On the contrary, such acts are a lot of work, and Tomas isn't a fan of exerting effort. He'd rather stick out his tongue than hex you. He figures both actions get his displeasure across, and why waste energy on that when you can spend it on...well...he's not sure what to spend it on since he doesn't like to do anything, really. But that's not the point, is it?
This figure is approximately 5 inches tall.
Cozener: a dishonest person who uses clever means to cheat others out of something of value.
In this case, the valuable item is the offspring of other creatures. He fools them using various means, depending on the situation and how he's feeling that day.
He promises to protect the young from an imaginary foe while parents go to fight or find shelter, and uses the opportunity to slink away with their precious ones.
He seeks out desperate souls and offers them whatever they need if they can best him in a seemingly easy challenge that appears to favor their victory.
Sometimes he simply waits for the guardians to be distracted, then scoops up his treasure and escapes.
What does he do with them?
Well, the unborn are the easiest to raise as his own, or just as easily make for a morning meal. Perhaps an alchemist is in need of a rare ingredient. Money, manual labour, or nourishment, it makes little difference to the Cozener.
Kromwell is a silent witness, sent ahead of his Master to decide the fate of sinners and non-believers (definitions of these two terms are based on guidelines from a very different 'holy book' than one we are familiar with).
He is silent judgment.
He is unbiased and unswayable, listening to our conversations. Our thoughts. Scanning for key words and intentions.
He is blind to everything but the clear purpose given to him by his Master: find the unworthy. Catalog their guilt. Report back.
In this court of one, there are no defending arguments or plea bargains.
You don't even know you're on the stand.
But when the Master arrives, there is no mistaking that the wrath of judgment is upon you.
This figure is 9 inches tall.
It's full steam ahead today as I try to get pictures taken, stories written and all the tiny details that go into show prep finished. Sunday is Art-O-Con in Burlington, and today is my last block of free time to get everything together.
I'm going to try and get more pictures and bios posted today and tomorrow. For now, here are three new Plague Doctors (there will be four total for sale at the show). Note the guy on the right: I decided to try something new and put his hat on his back, hung around his neck with straps. I like it.
That's all for now. I'm off to sort through 47 other pictures.
The artist list for the show has exploded, and there's going to be a lot of talent there this weekend. I'll be at table A8 beside Fangoria. Take a look at the floor plan to see all the goodies happening this Sunday.
Nastri knows his destiny as a demon. All his friends are demons. His relatives are demons. Even his pet dog is demonic.
He's just a little unsure about acting like one.
Nastri is ready to fulfill his role in this known universe and the dark realms in-between. He has mastered a booming laugh, can conjure nightmares, melt faces just by imagining it, and yet...yet...
"I'm just a little insecure about it all. Part of it is not sleeping well, I know, but I'm kept up by all the expectations placed upon me. And I'm scared when I'm in the moment, I won't make the right decision. I mean, how do you know when you should make the walls bleed or if it's better to just jump in with a full possession? People keep saying 'you'll feel it' or 'you just know' but when you're starting out, you don't know. It's all very intimidating."
A powerful patrician in his homeland, Graebor holds sway over his fellow countrymen of the proud Waug race.
With a family tree where every branch blooms aristocracy, there is a certain expectation for the sons and daughters of this bloodline.
The family credo is behave as if you hold power, and power is yours.
Though not officially in a position of authority, Graebor and his ancestors have always had (and sometimes threatened to sever) the ear of army commanders and royalty. Crossing Graebor or disagreeing with him publicly is the equivalent of signing one's own death warrant both socially and, if rumours are to be believed, in the literal sense as well.
As the current eldest male, Graebor is the head of the family. Persuasive, cold, cunning, and outwardly calm, he projects unshakeable leadership. Rarely does one see even a glimpse of the restrained rage undulating beneath his skin, behind his eyes.
But it's there.
In the tilt of his head.
In the silence of a pause.
Waiting to be released.
I am breaking my tradition of starting my show/convention season in late summer, and have signed up to do Art-O-Con in Burlington on May 5th. It's a new convention of really talented local artists with interests ranging from science fiction, to monster goodness, to things of strange and quirky beauty. If you - like me - love FanExpo best for artist alley, and seeing leagues of storm troopers and daleks hanging about, then you need to come out to this event. Besides, with a title like Art-O-Con II: the Wrath of Con, how can you resist?
Since this event is taking place so very far away from the leave-strewn season of hallowed Halloween, I wanted to make sure I had some smaller items on the table that might be more widely embraced than, say, pumpkins during a month when more people are thinking about what to plant in their garden or how they'll fit into a summer dress rather than plotting Halloween celebrations (though really, who are these people and why are their priorities so skewed? *wink*).
That is how I came up with a collection of Bad JuJu figures. Talismans, if you will. Not quite voodoo dolls, but with all the hoodoo potential a ghoul might want. Adorned with feathers and fur (some with twine, or beads, or black rope), each hand sculpted figure sits upon a uniquely decorated open crate. People can leave the crate as is, or they can remove the paper filler and replace it with their own superstitious bits and bobs: some chicken bones, a lost tooth, some beach glass, little skulls, whatever they like.
Since I'm planning on keeping one for myself (I think it's important artists keep one example of a collection they made), I might fill it with a bunch of items and have it on display to encourage people to get creative with their new purchase.
So take a look at the additional pictures below, and tell me what you think.
My self-published book is still available!
Craving more Halloween goodness?
Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.

Fire Island Grill's menu describes the small chain, with a new link on Madera Road in Simi Valley, as "the fulfillment of a dream of a group of guys that love the islands (and) the foods that inspire them." The fare is what you'd find on family tables or at small eateries in Hawaii, and probably other islands who savor flavor and are happy to live with well-seasoned basics.
The original grill in the group is in Palmdale, a bit far from an island, but the crew is inching closer to the sea. It doesn't really matter whether you love the islands, or have even visited them, this is filling fare that easily carries the banner of comfort food. One of our friends kidded that they were missing spam sushi, found in Hawaii and evoked by other island-oriented restaurants. But they definitely have the rice, the noodles, good sauces and seasoning on their side.
Another positive note is the boast that all of the menu items are prepared on site. "We don't have a microwave, a fryer or a freezer in back." All items are made fresh daily, they say, with no preservatives or MSG.
We found it easier to sit down with the menus in hand and decide on the options before we attempted to articulate our decisions to the counter staff, and that helped a lot. After some discussion we opted for four preparations: a rice bowl with Fire Island Rice, luau pulled pork, sauteed vegetables and Lava Flow peanut sauce ($7.29); a Big Kahuna chicken plate with brown rice, grilled chicken, vegetables and spicy orange sauce ($8.99); a blackened shrimp plate with white rice, vegetables and the orange sauce ($9.99); and the chargrilled steak sandwich ($6.99).
We were greeted at the order counter by a several young and eager staffers, who simultaneously took our orders and dished the selections onto bright, sleek vessels, some of which combined the advantages of plate and bowl. There was some understandable confusion at the counter as we tried to order the multiple dishes from multiple staff members, especially when one server we had started with dashed off to fetch a fresh pot of vegetables and another promptly stepped up to help with the process. But for the most part we all got what we ordered, and found it tasty.
The Fire Island rice bowl was a favorite because of its very compatible slightly spiced rice, the tender pulled pork and, especially, the rich Lava Flow peanut sauce. The Island Platter chef's specials came in huge portions. The small blackened shrimp were tender and spicy, served with a good mix of seasonal vegetables and arranged over a thick layer of rice. The tangy orange sauce worked well with them, as it did with the Big Kahuna chicken platter.
A simple chargrilled steak sandwich also was a winner with its moderately spicy mayo, fresh lettuce and tomato, pepper jack cheese and teriyaki sauce. It was a delicious blend. I had the slice of Bermuda onion held, but it's readily available. There was a minor mix-up with my side dish. I had intended to order the macaroni salad with the sandwich but ended up with a bowl of fruit instead. No problem, except that I didn't get a chance to sample the macaroni salad. Other available sides are Maui or jalapeño chips.
I went back to the counter to order macadamia nut cookies for dessert, but they were temporarily unavailable.
For slightly lighter fare there are a quartet of tropical chicken salads with various complementary fresh ingredients. Fire Island hasn't neglected the kids, with Small Islander's Meals including a beverage for the very reasonable $3.49: a pineapple teriyaki bowl with chicken and vegetables over rice or noodles and the popular perennial, macaroni and cheese.
