4.28/5 rDev +17.9%
Classic yellow lightly cloudy german appearnce. Ripe german hops and pilsner malt on the nose. Very fresh tasting, soft malt, again ripe hops and a tangy bitterness on the finish. A pure joy to drink and probably the best example of the style I have had exported outside German soil.

This is an organic pilsner
A: Huge, fat, thick 1+" head. Very fluffy. Looks almost like a witbier. Massive carbonation flowing from all around.
S: Pleasant sweet malt, with an edge of plastic in the background.
T: Lighter than a normal German pilsner. Same comment as the smell: there's a very nice sweet and light malty flavor, but plastic in the background, but that part isn't very offensive and it's less strong in the taste. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Much milder than your average German Pils.
M: Fluffy going down.
O: It's a nice beer, different from what I'm used to while still maintaining that distinct German flavor.

Label calls it a Kellerbier. 500ml bottle MHB: 28.12.11.
It looks more like a kellerbier, it is a hazy gold with a fluffy white head that produces gobs of lacing. It has a bit of awkward carbonation bubbles that cling to the side of the glass that take the appearance down a notch.
The smell is good, it is herbal with a hint of citrus rind and a subtle maltiness.
The flavor is pretty good. It is subtly fruity with hints of citrus and a sweet herbal character. The malt is bready but not overbearing. There is not a high level of bitterness but it is definitely slightly more noticeable than the norm.
The mouthfeel could be crisper, I feel like it is a bit of a week link.
Overall it is a solid unfiltered pils.

It is a very pretty looking beer when poured into a Pils glass. Straw blonde colour with a thick white head that lingers for a while.
The rest is decent Pils stuff with hop bittereness prevalent but not overpowering. Less bitter than a Jever the mark of all coastal Pilseners but better than a southern Pils.
This was very drinkable and I d have it again.

Picked up a six-mixed pack of this brewery's biers, I have previously had the Bernstein Weizen and found it quite enjoyable, so grabbed it. First up the 1402 Pilsner, an Organic Pilsner.
Pours a beautiful golden straw tone of light hay, light, medium streams of carbonation create a quite beautiful head. Quite murky however, for a Pilsner--sooo According to the website however, this beer actually is a Kellerbier, and won a Gold Medal in the 2010 World beer cup.
Aromatics of biscuit, toasted bread, malt, tart lemon, sour apple, sour grapes, a nice malty-fruity backbone creating a quite solid German Pilsner. Unfourtunalty ends a bit weak, but the aroma overall is not too shabby.
Onto the first sip, lemon, sour apple, grape, grain,bread,pepper, nice carbonation, definatly more in the Keller beer. This brew is much more rustic than your typical clean, filtered Pilsner. Nice tartness and sour finish come out more as the beer warms, definalty at its peak after about 10 minutes after pouring.
Mouthfeel-light, refreshing, good..but after previously sampling Aying's kellerbier at the Brewpub, a Hacker Pschorr 1402 on tap and a fine Rampendahl Keller yesterday, it simply isn't on par with the best of the best, the rustic offerings pulled from Brewmasters cellars for the world to enjoy. This type of beer is really a specialty, a private brew, and this one is really good, but not on par with the best. Glad to have tried it though, Cheers

A: Pour is pale golden, slightly hazy. Medium-large white head that sinks pretty fast, leaving nice lacings.
S: Smell holds malt with only little sweetness and a nice bitterness from the hops. Some grassy hops as well.
T: Sweet malt, light bready in taste. Nice bitter hops. Some faint citric and grassy notes.
M: Decent aftertaste with nice bitterness. Body is medium and carbonation is rich.
D: A basic German Pilsener. A little above average.

JLC Live, the construction industry's top technical and business conference, is coming to the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, R. I. March 19- 22. As usual, the show will include a packed exhibit hall with hands-on demonstrations and clinics, along with a full roster of expert conference presentations on business and technical topics. (For a full program, go to ne.jlclive.com).
One attraction this year for coastal contractors from both the left and right coasts is a session about how to build waterproofed concrete and tile decks over living space, offered by Arroyo Grande, California, contractor and expert Bill Leys. Leys' 2010 JLC feature article, "Dry Deck Over Living Space," is posted at the JLC website, along with a step-by-step slideshow. Ley's "Troubleshooting" column in this month's JLC, "Scuppers and Drains for Waterproof Decks," describes a repair job on an existing deck afflicted by leaks and dry rot.
Leys' three-hour seminar in Providence will start with a discussion of concrete deck construction, coating systems, and effective flashing systems; after a mid-session break, class will resume with an in-depth look at tile decks, including a close review of the details approved by the Tile Council of America for waterproofing exterior decks.

Five Finger Death Punch has one of the biggest and most exciting shows you'll find in Metal music right now. The band just released its third studio album, American Capitalist, which features the popular single "Under and Over It" and the song "Back For More," featured in the latest game in the Madden franchise. FFDP are about to go out on its headlining "Share the Welt" tour with All That Remains, Hatebreed and Rev Theory (the tour comes to Indianapolis' Murat Egyptian Room on Nov. 6). CityBeat recently spoke with lead guitarist Zoltan Bathory and band newcomer and bassist Chris Kael at X-Fest in Dayton, Ohio, about the new album and why the band's music moves a more aggressive crowd.
Cincinnati's summer concert schedule got a lot cooler this morning, as organizers announced some of the performers at this year's inaugural Bunbury Music Festival, which will go down July 13-15 across six stages along the riverfront at Yeatman's Cove and Sawyer Point. Bunbury founder Bill Donabedian (who co-founded CItyBeat's MidPoint Music Festival and helped turn Fountain Square into a legitimate live music outlet) had been saying he was on the hunt for several big time headliners for the event; today, we found out he was successful, with iconic AltMusic bands Weezer, Jane's Addiction and Death Cab for Cutie confirmed as main stage anchors. Jane's is schedule for opening night, July 13, Weezer headlines July 14 and Death Cab will cap the fest off July 15. According to the press release, there will be plenty more performer announcements to come, with plans to feature around 100 acts total at the fest. Stay tuned — a full lineup is expected to be unveiled next month.
Securing the heavyweight headliners and announcing them enables Bunbury (being billed as "affordable, fun, tech savvy, and eco-friendly") to put tickets for the fest on sale. You can get them starting today through the Bunbury site here. One-day tickets are $46 and three-day passes are available for $93.
As Donabedian's work with MidPoint and Fountain Square would suggest, local music will also be a big part of Bunbury.
"The Bunbury Music Festival will feature the best of our local Indie bands with national and regional bands that fans may have seen at other great festivals and concert venues," Donabedian said in a statement. "Fans should think of this as an authentic music experience."
Bunbury's announcement is just the latest in a string of positive news concerning the live local music landscape of Greater Cincinnati, which seemed in potentially dire condition by the end of last year following the closing of Newport concert venue the Southgate House and other clubs.
Turns out the sky isn't falling. In fact, the future's so bright, I hope Bunbury has vendors on-site to sell shades.
Music Tonight: Rootsy Connecticut-based trio Plume Giant performs at the Rohs Street Cafe in Clifton Heights with Columbus, Ohio's Deadwood Floats and Cincinnati's own Molly Sullivan (check out Sullivan's lovely, unique track "Bad Weather" here). Plume Giant released its self-titled debut EP last year, drawing praise from Seattle to New Haven, and travelled up and down the east coast in support. The Indie Folk trio — built around timeless songs, amazing three-part harmonies and pure, naked acoustic guitar/viola/violin backing — is taking on the Midwest this month, touring in advance of its first full-length, due this coming spring. Click here to listen to the EP and enjoy the Plume Giant song "Old Joe the Crow," performed live below.
Younger local musicians and the music fans who love them might find it hard to fathom, but once upon a time, Cincinnati's corporate Rock radio juggernaut WEBN was one of local music's biggest allies, a wild, wooly and eclectic FM outlet as open-ended and freeform as any internet radio station or podcast. In the '70s and '80s, before inflexible, homogenized playlists made it impossible for even major label Cincy bands like The Afghan Whigs to get spins, the annual WEBN Album Project compilations gave major exposure to local and regional artists. Saturday at the Madison Theater, the WEBN Album Project Reunion Show flashes back to that era. In this week's CityBeat, Brian Baker caught up with one of Cincinnati's most popular bands ever (and an early Album Project participant), The Raisins, whose seminal lineup is reuniting for Saturday's event, joining several other AP alumni. Brian also caught up with some of the other participating musicians to discuss the Album Project's legacy. Below are their thoughts, as well as some vintage video clips from the era.
Tim Wilson is a comedian and singer/songwriter who represents Southern culture and lifestyle with his songs and stand-up. He is often featured on national telecasts of the syndicated radio shows The Bob and Tom Show and the John Boy and Billy Morning Show and Wilson has also been appeared on many of the late-night talk shows. With a dozen comedy albums featuring his original songs, Wilson has found crossover success on both the comedy and Country music charts.
CityBeat caught up with Wilson by phone to preview his appearance in Cincinnati and discuss southern roots in comedy and the assimilation of music into his comedy. Catch him performing live Saturday night at the Taft Theatre with Patti Vasquez (ticket info here).
Revitalization group 3CDC's live music programming throughout the past few summers has helped turn Fountain Square into the heart of Cincinnati's increasingly active downtown area, drawing thousands to the Square every week to catch everything from Reggae and Salsa to Hip Hop and Indie Rock.
The group will be doing the same thing in Over-the-Rhine at the newly renovated Washington Park across from Music Hall. The Park officially opens tomorrow (July 6) with a 10 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony. The christening will be followed by tours of the park, then a free 5 p.m. World Choir Games "friendship concert" at the Bandstand.
Like with Fountain Square, Washington Park's weekly music series will showcase local musicians, with live performances on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Wednesday will be "Bandstand Bluegrass" night, featuring some of the best area Bluegrass artists. The shows begin July 11 and will run every week, starting at 7 p.m., until Sept. 5. On Fridays, the Park features "Friday Flow," a night of R&B and Soul that starts July 13 and runs each Friday through Sept. 5.
The lineups for Wednesdays and Fridays have yet to be announced, but more details have been made available about the every-Thursday Jazz in the Park series. Beginning July 12, the lineup has been curated by local Jazz pianist Chris Comer, who held a similar role on Fountain Square last year. The first Jazz in the Park concert is July 12 and features Comer and his quintet, plus special guest Napoleon Maddox from the progressive Jazz/Hip Hop group IsWhat?!
Jazz in the Park performances run 7-9 p.m. through Aug. 30. Other shows in the series include the P&G Big Band (July 19); The Cincy Brass (Aug. 2); Steve Schmidt (Aug. 9), Ricky Nye Inc. (Aug. 16); and the Dick Sorice-Dan Jackson Quintet (Aug. 23).
Along with many other special concerts — like Over the Rhine's (the band) free show July 22 and the rare joint performance featuring Cincinnati Pops, May Festival Chorus, Cincinnati Opera and Cincinnati Ballet — the Washington Park summer schedule is filled with other types of events, from community festivals to "dog programs" to movie nights and special "Curiosity Saturdays" for kids.
One of the coolest physical changes to Washington Park is the interactive Classical Music Walk of Fame, a project in conjunction with the American Classical Music Hall of Fame and InfoTrust which will enable visitors to use their smartphones and tablets to play various musical selections through the park's sound system or through the very cool "musical fountains," which will change appearance/flow/color depending on which music is selected.
Here's a quick overview of how the interactive Classical Music Walk of Fame will work.
To read about all of the things Washington Park has planned just this summer alone (remember, it will be a primary venue for the MidPoint Music Festival at the end of September) click here.
Music Tonight: Ohio musical pioneers Rocket From the Tombs perform at the Southgate House with local greats Buffalo Killers and SS-20. Formed in 1974 in Northern Ohio, the pre-Punk legends might not get the credit of some of Punk's other earliest engineers, from New York and the U.K, but their importance in shaping the music (and the New Wave/Alterntaive/Indie music that followed) cannot be overstated. Like many great artists (Van Gogh, Poe, Kafka, etc.), RFTT weren't appreciated in their time, something not surprising considering they existed for only about a year and never released a lick of music. The band's split spawned two other wildly important bands — Dead Boys, featuring Stiv Bators and TFTT's Cheetah Chrome, and Pere Ubu with RFTT's David Thomas and Peter Laughner (who passed away in 1977). Both "new" (and distinctively different) bands took some Rocket tunes with them — Dead Boys claimed songs like "Ain't It Fun" and "Sonic Reducer," while Pere Ubu took with them "Final Solution" and "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" — all "Punk" classics. In the '00s, RFTT compiled live and archival recordings so the band would finally have something in the record stores and, in the process, reconnected and, in 2009, the band convened to record its official "debut album" nearly 35 years after originally forming. Read Steven Rosen's interview with frontman (and Art Rock icon) David Thomas for this week's CityBeat here. Showtime tonight is 9 p.m. and admission is $15. Click below to listen to Rocket From the Tombs' rendition of "Sonic Reducer."
The Country Throwdown Tour wraps up in a few weeks. By all accounts it has been a success, drawing large crowds and little, if any, controversy. We caught up with Emily West, Heidi Newfield, Sean Patrick McGraw, Sarah Buxton & Jedd Hughes while they were on tour to get inside their heads.
Ill Poetic — the multitasking Hip Hop artist who made his bones in the Cincinnati and Dayton scenes and writes a monthly words-of-wisdom column for CityBeat called Hip Hop (Un) Scene — will be providing some dispatches from the road this month for us as he embarks on the J. Rawls-headlined "#Ohio Takeover Tour." The tour (featuring a roster of Ohio acts) is an early promotional push for The Hip Hop Affect, the anticipated new release from Rawls, a renowned DJ/producer whose credits range from work on the first Black Star album to working with Madlib and The Beastie Boys. Recently, Rawls leaked the new track "We're on Top (#ohiotakeover)," a "posse cut" featuring 23 MCs from the Buckeye State.
It is shaping up to be a great summer in Cincinnati for fans of popular, contemporary Country music. First it was announced that the giant Tim McGraw/Kenny Chesney tour (with Grace Potter and the Nocturnals opening up) would come to Paul Brown Stadium on July 1. Now, Riverbend has unveiled an impressive lineup of some of the top names in Country scheduled to appear at the outdoor shed this year (including Miranda Lambert, pictured at the right). An on sale date for the individual concerts has yet to be announced; the lineup was released this morning because of the return of the B105-sponsored "Country Megaticket" offer, where fans can save some money by purchasing ticket packages that will get them into all seven concerts. The "Megatickets" (packages range from $200-$385) go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. through www.Riverbend.org or www.B105.com. Click here for more details and check below for the full lineup.

The Bath and Body Works body creams always agree very nicely with my skin, so I can't rate any of them too low. The scent of this one just doesn't really appeal to me. It's a little too mature and not as complex as I would like. If you like floral perfumes, I would recommend this, because it does have a nice clean smell. It just isn't for me.

SO SEDUCTIVE! This has become my favorite fragrance since classics such as Pearberry and Juniper Breeze. My bestie and I were out for my bday last year and she everytime she was near me this amazing scent kept wafting past my nose so I asked her what she was wearing and she whipped this out of her purse and I instantly fell in love. It's super feminine and sultry without being too strong or sweet smelling which is why I adore it so much. I have gone thru at least 4 tubes of the body cream in the last 8 months or so and about 3 or more bottles of the body mist. Speaking of this fragrance...I have it in mind to go to B&BW asap to restock...not to mention my boo loves it!

I was visiting a mall in Quebec City, Quebec during a school trip when I decided to go to Bath & Body Works because the mall in my town doesn't have one (gasp!), and I wanted to buy something from there. When I caught my eye on this body cream, I bought it because a) it smelt amazing, b) I wanted to buy something from Bath & Body Works, and c) I thought that it would moisturize well.
I still love the scent dearly. It smells amazing, and it lingers long after an application. As for moisturizing... it works... sort of.
I tend to apply this on my legs after shaving, and it makes my legs quite soft. But it never works on extremely dry skin. I applied this to my feet, and it did nothing! I was so disappointed, especially since it's been advertised as a cream as opposed to a lotion. I ended up buying extra-strength Vaseline for my feet, and it seems to work well.
I will try my best to use up the Bath & Body Works "cream" on my legs after shaving, but I definitely will not buy it again! I think the main problem is that Bath & Body Works focused more on the product's scent than making sure that it actually moisturized skin- which, for me anyways, is far more important than a pretty scent.

I LOVE this product sooo much.
You can't get Bath and Body works in the U.K. So I first tried this product when I swapped with a girl here on MUA.
The cream is divine, it has a beautiful scent and glides silkily onto the skin. I recommend buying this to ANYONE.

Bath and Body Works lotions and creams are wonderful. They are light yet creamy, not greasy, easily absorbed, moisturise well AND smell awesome. (There are certain scents that I don't like but that's a personal preference). Cherry Blossom is a wonderful, sophisticated and sensual fragrance that I love!!! And the fragrance lingers on my skin for quite a few hours! What's not to love?

smells better than the lotion in the set that i bought. i got a gift basket with the lotion, body cream, body mist, red loofa, and shower gel. smells great, smells like cherries but more like a tangy flower. attractive smell. Lasted me over a year, and it is strong enough to last throughout the day.

This is Bath and Body Works best seller and theres a reason for that.
I grew up with an oriental family (my moms side) and we love this scent. Every time I use this lotion, someone is saying something like "Oh that's you? I knew something smelt good.". I am more of a perfume fan so I wear unscented lotion for the most part, but when I feel like smelling like Japanese Cherry Blossoms I use this because it's far from generic. The scent is amazing and it doesn't feel too over powering, it's the only scented lotion I casually use besides some VS lotions. Bath and Body Works always has sells, so the only time I get this is when it's on sell, because it so expensive when it's not.

Overall, I really like this. The scent is not overpowering--I feel like I can add the coordinating body mist on top and not knock people (or myself) out with it. I will say that I think it takes a little bit of time for the body cream to really sink all the way in, so if I'm in a hurry I'll use a different lotion. But it keeps my skin soft and smooth, and it definitely lasts 24 hours.

What is your median GPA? Median LSAT?
For the class of 2016, the median GPA was a 3.29 on a 4.0 scale, and the median LSAT was a 155.
Are you a national or a regional law school?
Syracuse is considered to be a national law school. This means that we are known nationally, and that our graduates are placed in jobs all over the country (not just upstate New York).
When do you start accepting applications for the fall?
October 1st of each year.
What is the application deadline date?
April 1st of each year. Syracuse Law operates on a "rolling admission" basis, so students are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
What is the latest LSAT exam from which you will accept scores?
February. However, with permission from the Admissions Office, applicants may be allowed to use scores from the June LSAT for entry that fall.
What is your application fee?
Do you grant fee waivers?
Yes. To request a fee waiver, a student should:
*Email email@example.com and provide the reason for needing the application fee waived and provide full name and LSAC#. If granted, Admissions will individually assign a fee waiver for students through the electronic LSAC database so that the application fee will be automatically waived when s/he applies.
How many letters of recommendation do you require?
Syracuse Law does not require any letters of recommendation, but we strongly encourage applicants to have 1-3 letters. These should be primarily from professors if the student is still in school, or from employers if the student graduated some time ago.
We encourage applicants to have their recommendation letters sent through the LSDAS, but we will accept letters directly from the recommenders (on our form or on letterhead) as well.
Syracuse will also accept the new LSAC Evaluation Service form. These are not required and should not be used in place of standard letters of recommendation, but can be used to enhance an applicant's file.
Do you offer scholarships?Yes - both merit and need based financial aid is available. Merit awards are decided on by the Admissions Committee and no additional scholarship application is required. Admitted students are notified within their admission packet if a merit scholarship has been awarded. Need-based financial aid is determined by the Office of Financial Aid and students must complete the financial aid application process by the February 15th deadline to be considered.
Where do your students get jobs after graduation?Our students find jobs all over the country. Refer to Office of Professional Development webpages for more specific details and for a list of selected employers.
What is your Student to Faculty Ratio?12 to 1
Where do your students come from?Our students come from all over the country and the world. Each year, approximately 35% - 45% are from New York State. After New York, we generally get the largest number of students from California, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey. See Fast Facts for more specific information.
What is your bar passage rate?The bar passage rate is determined only by Syracuse Law students who took the New York State bar exam.
July, 2013 Bar:
SU Overall pass rate for 1st time test takers = 83.9%
Do you have a part-time program?Yes. Students may enroll on a part-time basis and complete the law degree in four years instead of three. Part-time students take between 8-11 credits per semester and are enrolled in daytime classes with the rest of the full-time JD class. Contact the Office of Admissions & Financial Aid at 315-443-1962 or the Office of Student Life at 315-443-1146 for more specific details on whether the part-time JD option will give you the flexibility you need!
Do you have any open houses?
The Admissions Office schedules individual visits for prospective students. Once students have selected a date to visit, they should contact the Admissions Office at 315/443-1962 or firstname.lastname@example.com to make an appointment. Appointments can also be made online by clicking here.
We also hold Visitor Programs for admitted students during the spring. Visitor Programs are held on 4 Fridays, usually during March and April.
For fall 2013 we will be holding an open house for prospective students interested in Syracuse Law who live in the Washington DC area. This year's DC open house will be held on:
Saturday, November 16th
10:00am - 1:00pm
Greenberg House
2301 Calvert St., N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20008
What are my chances of being admitted?We cannot make this assessment without seeing a student's entire application. We review all pieces of an application - transcripts, LSAT scores, letters of recommendation, essays, and resumes.
How do you handle multiple LSAT scores?
According to the ABA/LSAC rules, we will use the highest LSAT score to calculate student's index score when it is taken multiple times. We will, however, see all attempts at the LSAT and consider each score when reviewing the application. As a general rule, the highest LSAT score is the score that will be used to combine with the undergraduate cumulative GPA for the index score.

NASA is joining a European telescope project intended to study dark energy at the farthest reaches of the universe, with its project office based at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge.
The space telescope, which is scheduled for launch in 2020, is planned as a six-year mission by the European Space Agency to measure the shape of about 6 billion galaxies.
Scientists believe the mission will help them understand the nature of dark energy and dark matter, hypothesized to exist throughout the bulk of the universe but as yet undetectable.
NASA is contributing 20 infrared detectors to the telescope that are only available from the U.S., and in return more than 50 scientists will have access to data from the mission.
"ESA's Euclid mission is designed to probe one of the most fundamental questions in modern cosmology, and we welcome NASA's contribution to this important endeavor," said Alvaro Gimenez, ESA's director of science and robotic exploration.
Euclid, named after the Greek mathematician who established geometry, will survey about a third of the visible sky from a near-Earth orbit. It will carry a 576-megapixel camera to capture precise measurements of galaxies through visible and near-infrared images.
Dark energy, thought be the force causing the universe to continually expand, has only been hypothesized to exist for a few decades but it is estimated to account for about three-fourths of all mass and energy in the universe.
"Understanding this is one of the most compelling and important questions in science," JPL research scientist Jason Rhodes said at a talk last week. "The dark energy really controls the future history of the universe. What's going to happen in the future of our whole universe is dominated by what the properties of the dark energy are. We don't understand those properties very well at all."
Similarly, dark matter is thought to interact with gravity and hold galaxies together, but can't be seen because it doesn't interact with light or even other dark matter.
Studying the properties of dark energy and dark matter have emerged as the hottest trend of astronomical research.
Scientists managing the existing Fermi gamma-ray space telescope, another international mission that involves NASA, announced plans to refocus the telescope's mission last week to include dark matter.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, planned to launch in 2018, is also expected to explore the early history of the universe and the effects of dark matter, while the planned Wide-Field Infrared Survey would study dark energy.
Canada is also building a ground-based radio telescope that will study dark energy through cosmic sound waves.

Some folks in South Georgia frantically tried to get in touch with loved ones who live near the destruction in Oklahoma.
Leesburg's Wendy Mathis has a brother who lives in Oklahoma City and works in Bethany, just 10 miles north of Moore.
She watched the devastation unfold on TV Monday afternoon and began texting her brother. She found out through social media her family was okay.
"You kind of go in panic mode for awhile. And in the meantime, my niece who also lives in Oklahoma City had posted on facebook that they were all ok and they were safe. And then shortly after I got a text from him, letting us know he was ok too, which was a relief."
Mathis says social media can be great tools in emergency situations.
An Albany native who recently relocated to a city nearby Moore, Oklahoma explains the devastating ordeal and how her company stepped up to lend a hand to those impacted by the tornado.
Liz Barfield says the building where she works was just a fourth of a mile outside of the edge of the massive tornado, and a mile away from the eye of the storm.
We spoke with Barfield, who explained how she and her co-workers at Andy Alligator's fun park were able to offer assistance.
Barfield and the rest of her co-workers also opened the building to allow donations to be dropped off for those in need, through today.

New Orleans, LA (WOIO) - It was lights out at the Superdome, in more ways than one, from the Ravens electrifying start, to Beyonce's halftime show, to the 49'ers second-half comeback, before Baltimore survived to win Super Bowl 47, 34-31.
Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco threw three touchdown passes in the first half, giving the Ravens a 21-6 lead at the half, and Jacoby Jones returned the opening kickoff a record-tying 108 yards to open the second half, before the dome went dark. A power outage caused a 34-minute delay, before they returned to football, and that's when the 49'ers kicked things into gear.
Colin Kaepernick led San Francisco on a torrid comeback, finishing with 302 yards passing, one rushing touchdown, and one TD toss. But his final attempt, on fourth down with 1:50 remaining, fell incomplete, as the Ravens celebrated their second Super Bowl title in 12 years.

Buy Local
Article by: Harvey Finkel, MD - Eating and drinking the products of one's own region is an emerging and burgeoning movement across the country. It is also a healthy notion, for knowing the source of what we consume must lead to more intelligent, tasty and wholesome purchasing by consumers and the production of higher quality products.All this fits right in with the aims of our local wineries in New England. On February 28, the year-old Massachusetts Farm Wineries and Growers Association [...] Read More »
Boston Wine School
Article by: Chris Lyons - A little over a year ago, wine journalist/consultant and 2O-plus year industry veteran Jonathon Alsop founded Boston's first-ever wine school (called, fittingly, the Boston Wine School), which he defines as a "snob free zone" for curious consumers and enthusiastic aficionados who want to boost their knowledge by attending casual, fun and food-filled classes. The school's core value is: one learns about wine by tasting it intelligently. Alsop claims that the #1 complaint reported by his [...] Read More »
Article by: Harvey Finkel, MD - The scientific process is the opposite of dogma. Continual reexamination and correction are expected, desired. Restudying questions by other hands often refines, improves precision, but seldom leads to upheaval of what are accepted as basic general truths.

They might at first glance seem to constitute "18Os" but upon closer examination they really deepen our understanding by exploration of particular facets of the issues under [...] Read More »

Based on an idea from David Rothenberg's Bug Music (St Martin's Press 2013), Song of the Cicadas explores the metaphors evoked by comparing the incarceration of American Political Prisoner Timothy Blunk (Resistance Conspiracy Case) with the 17 year period spent underground of the Magicicada. Filmed in an historic prison during a Cicada emergence in Virginia, Song of the Cicadas forms a critique on the politics of incarceration and the surveillance aspects of media.
"a poetical documentary film"
Nick Paumgarten
The New Yorker
In the Fall of 1935, FSA photographer Arthur Rothstein went up into the mountains of Virginia for what he calls his first assignment. He was to photograph a group of farmers who were to be Resettled to make way for Shenandoah National Park. Yet the family at the center of his project were not farmers nor were they Resettled. They were part of a scientific study known as Hollow Folk. In an exploration of the idea of documentary truth, Rothstein's First Assignment finds that many of Rothstein's subjects would end up institutionalized and forcibly sterilized at a place known as "The Colony."

Accusations that a school janitor was peeping on students at a Brentwood elementary school shocked a lot of parents, but not everyone was surprised.
One mother says she complained about the same man a year ago.
"I kind of thought, 'I knew it.' You know how your gut just, it just sat wrong with me when my daughter told me what he was doing," said mother Tammy Myers.
Myers said she made a complaint to Scales Elementary School Principal Molly Dalgarn last year that Victor Alvarado was acting inappropriately around her daughter, who was eight years old at the time.
"Running his broom over her feet and giggling and singing Justin Bieber songs while he was doing it, and then he had made a purring sound," Myers said.
The mother was disturbed that it had been ongoing, and that the kids were comfortably around him.
"He was a friend to a lot of the kids. A lot of the kids actually liked Victor. He would walk around if he found little tokens and give them to kids, or stickers, he'd give them to kids or things like that," Myers said.
Myers said she even saw Alvarado's suspicious behavior firsthand when she went to have lunch with her daughter one day at the school.
She said Alvarado kept circling their table and ignoring other parts of the cafeteria.
"She got up from the table to get ice cream and he got up and approached her and said something to her, and she just kind of giggled. And I said, 'So, what's so funny?' And she says, 'Well, Victor just kind of said something funny to me.' I said, 'What did he say to you?' And she says, 'You've got a hot mama,'" Myers said.
That was the final straw for Myers, who said she went to principal Dalgarn and reported Alvarado's behavior and made sure it was documented.
"She did contact me the next day and said she spoke to him. He was apologetic, and he wouldn't do it anymore. I said, 'Great,'" Myers said.
Now, a year later, the same custodian was allegedly found in the crawlspace near a girls' restroom at the school.
"She goes, 'In our bathroom, there were two tiles missing.' She said, 'I felt like I heard a ghost up there or something, so I was always afraid to use the bathroom, because I thought there was a ghost up there,'" Myers said.
Another parent has since spoken out, expressing the same behavior her child noticed a year ago.
"He was just doing a lot of the same things he was doing with my daughter. He was kind of following her around. He was sweeping under her feet making her uncomfortable, and just generally putting himself in places he shouldn't have been to be near them," Myers said.
Alvarado worked for the janitorial service GCA Services Group, Inc. but has since been fired.
Williamson County Schools superintendent Dr. Mike Looney told Channel 4 News on Monday all of the employees contracted through GCA have to pass background checks.
"The gentleman in question had a complete background check. No indication that there was a problem in his history or has ever been arrested or anything like that, so it caught us off guard," Looney said. "It's very emotional, and it's a very tough subject, because Scales is a great school and we have a stellar reputation and Ms. Dalgarn's done an amazing job there."

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A man who failed to obey an order to come out of a southeast San Diego apartment, leading police to make a forced entry in which a veteran San Diego officer was killed, was sentenced Tuesday to 22 years and four months in state prison.
Patrick Luangrath, 22, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter with a gang allegation, along with an unrelated burglary charge.
Luangrath, along with Alex Charfauros and Melissa Ortiz, were charged with murder in the Oct. 27, 2010, shooting death of Officer Christopher Wilson.
Charfauros, 29, was convicted last month of second-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder of a peace officer and faces life in prison. Trial is pending for the 24-year-old Ortiz.
Outside court Tuesday, Deputy District Attorney Michael Runyon said Luangrath remained holed up in a bedroom for 30 minutes, refusing repeated commands by officers to come out.
"As far as Mr. Luangrath is concerned, his liability is based on his refusal to come out of the bedroom and surrender to officers when he had knowledge that other people within that bedroom were armed with firearms," Runyon told reporters.
San Diego police Officer Travis Whipple, who survived the shooting, told Luangrath that he let his friends and family down with the poor choices he had made.
"I just can't help but feel for them," Whipple said. "You failed them."
Whipple, who served in the Marine Corps and did combat duty in Iraq before becoming a police officer, urged Luangrath to turn his life around and not let Wilson's death be in vain.
"Be the change you want to see in this world," he told the defendant.
Whipple said he didn't know Wilson that well, but called the 17-year veteran and training officer a "hero" and a "legend."
Runyon told jurors at Charfauros' trial that if he had told the truth about armed people holed up in his apartment on South Meadowbrook Drive, Wilson may not have been killed the night county probation officers and U.S. marshals went there.
Probation officers were checking on Charfauros, and the marshals were looking for Holim Lee, who had outstanding warrants for assault and a probation violation.
A man opened the door and said Charfauros wasn't home, then slammed it shut, Runyon said. Officers forced entry into the apartment and after a while, Charfauros came crawling out of the east bedroom.
Once outside, officers asked Charfauros if there were any guns, drugs or anyone else holed up inside, but the defendant was uncooperative, saying he had been at work, then went to sleep, Runyon said.
A number of San Diego police officers were called to assist, including Wilson, who also questioned Charfauros about who and what was still in the apartment, but the defendant said he didn't know, according to Runyon.
Wilson was shot in the head and died a short time later. He was 50.
Lee and his girlfriend, Lucky Xayasene, were found dead in the bedroom from self-inflicted gunshots wounds. Prosecutors said Lee fired the shot that killed Wilson.

Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini has sought to play down fears that he will be absent for a number of weeks with a knee injury.
"I am hoping to be back playing for Everton as soon as possible"
Marouane Fellaini
The 24-year-old had to withdraw from the Belgium squad for their two 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers with the injury he sustained during his side's 2-2 draw with Wigan Athletic at the weekend.
The Belgian FA claimed that Fellaini would be out of action for three weeks, but the player has sought to alleviate fans' fears that he could miss the Merseyside derby on 28 October.
"As you have probably seen and heard I am currently suffering from a knee injury," he told the club's official website. "Fortunately it is not too serious but I will have to miss the two games with Belgium. I am hoping to be back playing for Everton as soon as possible.
"I am extremely disappointed and I now have to rest in order to get back to full fitness so I can help the team with some important games coming up."
Newcastle United midfielder Haris Vuckic will miss the rest of the season after rupturing the cruciate ligament in his left knee this week.
The 20-year-old Slovenian was injured towards the end of Newcastle's Barclays Under-21 Premier League match away to Aston Villa on Monday night. Vuckic has appeared three times for Newcastle's first team this season, twice in the Europa League, where he scored his first senior goal against Atromitos, and also in the Capital One Cup defeat by Manchester United.
Newcastle received a further blow with the news that midfielder Dan Gosling will be out of action for weeks having been taken off during the same match with ligament damage to his right ankle.

Riversweep well done
For the 12th year, residents and businesses, students, Scout troops and groups of many affiliations came out to demonstrate how they feel about Lake Wylie and their communities. They care, passionately.
As sure as leaves turning in the fall, volunteers showed up [Oct. 5] to clean up the lake's shoreline, creeks and coves, and restore the natural beauty and function for recreation and wildlife.
The annual Riversweep cleanup is a grassroots tradition that has been carried on year after year because families, friends and neighbors are willing to give one morning out of the year to care for their lake. They have fun, get a little dirty and leave knowing they have made a difference in the health and beauty of the lake.
On behalf of the Lake Wylie Covekeepers, Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation, Lake Wylie Marine Commission and the Riversweep Planning Group, thank you to the 859 volunteers who worked with boat owners, area businesses, marinas and county solid waste departments to remove 21 tons of trash, debris and junk from Lake Wylie.
Congratulations on another successful cleanup. Well done.
2013 Riversweep Planning Group Chair

Clara Schwartz: A Deadly Game
Hulbert's Decision
On December 20, Michael Paul Pfohl pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, admitting that he had assisted two friends with the murder of Robert Schwartz a year earlier. He had agreed, he said, to drive Hulbert to the home where the murder took place, and he felt ashamed about his part in the crime. He faced a maximum of 21 years and four months in prison. In a written statement, Pfohl admitted that he and his girlfriend, Katherine Inglis, drove to the Springfield mall on the night of December 8. They met friends there, and Pfohl told someone that he was scared to take Hulbert where he wanted to go. He was aware that Hulbert was going to kill someone and he did not want to be an accessory to murder. Having called his involvement a "big oopsy" on the day he was arrested, he admitted that he vaguely realized what he was getting into. In a written apology, he asked Robert Schwartz to give him some "sign" that he was "well." He also excused Hulbert on the basis that Hulbert believed he was right to do what he did. Nevertheless, Pfohl seemed to think he had betrayed Hulbert, and seemed to be sorrier about that than about his role in the murder.
Hulbert had been charged with first-degree murder. People speculated that he would pursue an insanity defense, i.e., prove that he had a mental disorder that kept him from understanding that what he had done was wrong or had caused him to have an irresistible impulse to commit the crime. But on February 27, 2003, newspapers noted that he was not going to do that. His attorneys had a deadline to inform the court of their intent and did not do so. Because of the evidence of premeditation, as well as the admissions made afterward, an insanity defense would be difficult to pursue, despite Hulbert's clear history of mental instability. His trial was scheduled for March 17 in Loudoun County Circuit Court. In his defense, he stated, "I have always told Clara I would protect her. I could not kill him [Schwartz] without just cause. If I was not defending myself or someone I loved, I could not kill."
On March 10, 2003, at a 15-minute hearing a week before Hulbert's scheduled trial, he declared himself a murderer in court. He had decided that making a plea rather than going to trial was the right thing to do. Admitting regret for his actions and for ever having met Clara Schwartz, he said that she had manipulated him into doing what he had done. "I allowed myself to be poisoned," he was quoted as saying in the Washington Post, "Not a day goes by that I don't think about what I did."
Psychiatrist Howard Glick testified before sentencing that Hulbert had made up imaginary friends such as vampires and dragons to make him feel as if he had a sense of family. He had connected strongly with Clara, who also felt like an outsider and claimed that she'd been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and that had given him an even greater sense of family. She was now his sister, and he had to protect her. When she needed help, he got the chance to act on his fantasies of heroism and nobility. It was as simple as that, and as tragic.
Judge Horne acknowledged Hulbert's difficult life in and out of institutions and foster care, but said to him what he said to Clara: You are responsible for your actions. For the murder, Hulbert was sentenced to life in prison without the chance for parole, and another 10 years was added concurrently for conspiracy charges.
Last to be sentenced was Katherine Inglis. Schwartz and Pfohl, on the advice of their attorneys, offered nothing to implicate her, so her case came to an end. There were no other leads to investigate to prove her part in the murder, aside from helping to cover it up. On November 14, 2003, she received a sentence of 12 months. At that time, the Washington Post noted, she had six more days to serve.

Okay as everyone knows, Golden Boy Promotions will go head to head with Top Rank Promotions on September 15th which will surely be a night to remember with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr looking to escape from the fact that he is his fathers son fighting Sergio Martinez who is trying to prove he is the best middleweight in the world and perhaps setup a fight with some of the biggest names in boxing and Josesito Lopez looking to cause his second upset of the year and prove he is an elite caliber fight against Canelo Alvarez who is trying to show he is a force to be reckoned with and setup fights with the best in boxing today.
I dont know who exactly is on the undercards but i'm sure they will be overall great cards with 2 scintillating endings.
My question is which card/fight will you watch? I along with my friends still haven't made this decision and really are drawn on which card/fight to watch?
Chavez Jr vs Martinez undercard:
Middleweights - Matthew Macklin (28-4, 19 KO) vs Joachim Alcine (33-2-1, 19 KO)
Super Featherweights - Roman Martinez (25-1-1, 16 KO) vs Miguel Beltran Jr (27-1, 17 KO)
Light Heavyweights - Mike Lee (10-0, 6 KO) vs TBA
Alvarez vs Lopez undercard:
Welterweights - Marcos Maidana (31-3, 28 KO) vs Jesus Soto-Karass (26-7-3, 17 KO)
Featherweights - Jhonny Gonzalez (52-7, 45 KO) vs Daniel Ponce de Leon (43-4, 35 KO)
Super Bantamweights - Abner Mares (24-0-1, 13 KO) vs TBA

FRISCO - A suspect in an armed robbery was arrested after the victim of the crime was able to calmly relay a description of the suspect in a 911 call.
A mother said she was unloading groceries in the garage of her home with her child when a man approached her, placing a gun to head. The suspect took her purse and fled the scene in the 8500 block of Warren Drive in Frisco.
After the man fled, she walked her daughter into the garage, closed it and made the call to 911.
"I was getting out of my garage, my daughter was standing outside and a guy came up to me and I was talking on the phone and he put a gun to my head and said "Give me your purse now,"' the victim told a dispatcher.
The woman went on to describe the suspect in detail.
A short time later, 28-year-old Dallas Fisher, who matched the description given, was discovered in a field north of the crime and was apprehended by police. Fisher was charged with aggravated robbery.
"Our victim remained calm during this incident, which allowed her to make good mental notes about the suspect's description," said Chief John Bruce, Frisco Police Department, in a statement. "This was critical to allow patrol offices to quickly locate and apprehend him."

Kiwanis Club members approached the Jasper City Council about the signs Tuesday.
"We are asking to place the signs and also asking the city's assistance to put them on poles," Kiwanis President Pollyanna Higgs said.
Higgs said the group wants to place the signs in strategic locations association with children, such as schools, parks, pools, ball parks and splash pads.
"Children are the mission of Kiwanis," she said. "'Serving one child at a time' is the vision for the International Club of Kiwanis."
Council members voted unanimously to approve the signs.
Higgs also invited council members to the Kiwanis Pancake Day, which will take place from 6 to 11 a.m. Saturday morning.
"It's $5 per plate and will be at the Bevill cafeteria. We'd love to see you guys there," she said.
In other action, the council:
•Tabled a request for a parade permit by Salatha Hundley for an event on June 22.
•Renewed a contract with Henry Oil to supply fuel to the city.
•Approved travel for municipal court personnell for required training.
•Approved an agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation for mowing of certain rights-of-way in the city.
•Approved a pay policy change concerning employees in a probationary period. The change will allow those employees to receive step raises that are given by the city.
