Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game celebrates the 10th anniversary of the league changing the format of the game hoping to make it more competitive.
After the 2002 MLB All-Star Game ended in a tie, and with tons of scrutiny surrounding the result, Commissioner Bud Selig decided it was time for a change.
The following year, the league made a rule that whichever league all-star team won the exhibition secured home-field advantage for that year's World Series. Ever since they made the change, baseball fans have been arguing.
Some fans say it is a horrible idea.
"I think it's ridiculous," said Monica Kegerreis, a Chicago Cubs fan.
There are others who really love it. For those fans, the first year could not have been a bigger success. In the bottom of
the 8th inning of the 2003 All-Star Game, Hank Blalock stepped up to
the plate with the American League down 5-6.
It was Blalock's
first-ever at-bat in an All-Star Game and he was up against then-Los
Angeles Dodgers closer Eric Gagne, who had not blown a save all season.
That quickly changed as Blalock hit a two-run home run that helped
secure a win for the American League team 7-5.
The fans who appreciate the change say the last ten all-star games have been much more competitive because of what's at stake.
"By having some meaning as to tack it onto home-field advantage. I think it means a little bit more to the game," said Yankees fan Michael Rembich.
The people who don't like it, say there is too much on the line, especially considering the team with home-field advantage has won 22 of the last 27 World Series.
"They randomly put pitchers in, so there necessarily isn't the best guy on the mound at the end of the day," said Geoff Bickel. "For it to be the deciding factor I don't think it's a good thing."
The skeptics say it wouldn't be too difficult to change the current system.
"Although it's difficult to decide because of the differences between the [American League] and [National League] rules, so I'm sure they're trying to even it out," said Kegerreis. "But ultimately it should be based on the best record."
Even folks who work in baseball are on the fence. South Bend Silver Hawks President Joe Hart doesn't like that World Series home-field advantage can be decided by players who might not even be in the playoffs. However, he says at least it prevents having the game end in a tie.
"It certainly hasn't hurt the game, so if hasn't hurt then obviously it's a positive," said Hart.
While this debate will likely continue for years to come, baseball fans all say the All-Star Game is always worth watching regardless of what's at stake.
"I do find it fascinating because they are picking the best from both leagues and you want to see how they're going to do," said Rembich.
Next year's MLB All-Star Game will be played in Minnesota and fans will be able to watch the game on FOX28.

Oral Fixations: Drawings by Julia RandallFriday March 28, 2014 - Sunday May 25, 2014
The Davison Art Center gallery is now closed for the summer. Recently on view was Oral Fixations, which will travel this fall to the Handwerker Gallery at Ithaca College.
From strange hybrid Lovebirds to disembodied mouths and monumental bubblegum, the subjects of Julia Randall's drawings seduce the viewer. Oral Fixations is a ten-year retrospective of the meticulous, hyperrealist drawings by Randall, Assistant Professor of Art at Wesleyan. As the artist explains, she sees the mouth as "the threshold of the id," and her works are "simultaneously erotic and humorous, beautiful and repulsive." The exhibition title nods towards Sigmund Freud's theory of oral-stage fixation, but Randall's often monumental drawings go beyond psychoanalysis, presenting surreal, sensual, even visceral images, while surprising with a sense of humor.
The Davison Art Center published a catalog in conjunction with this exhibition.
For two Wesleyan student reviews of the exhibition, please see:

Something Strange in North Dakota Water?
It's completely natural, and is very common here in rural ND where many people have a private well for their water source. Many aquifers out here are what we call "gassy wells." There's areas underground where natural gasses like methane are trapped in the ground with the water and bubble up the plumbing when you turn a faucet on. – Youtube commenter shorefisherman

For the past five years the Hallbergs have donated a $2000 annual gift to award to four Sierra College art students for their hard work and commitment. The gift is divided equally between 4 students.
Ed and Kaylene leave the selections wholly to Sierra College instructors.
There are no strings attached to the monies what so ever.
The Hallbergs approached the art department five years ago and have given this gift each year since then.
These awards are directed to students that have moved through Sierra's art program and positively reflect the department.
We have a reception and brief award ceremony at the start of each Fall semester.
Ed and Kaylene intend their gifts to further and purely enrich each student's creative desires and future plans.
I draw inspiration from the environment around me, observing and filing away moments and emotions to later play out through my art. I feel strong desires to translate life into illusive imagery in order to strive to demand greater understanding of a given phenomenon. I want my pieces to pull in the imagination and to leave the mind wandering through the message, leaving through the back entrance with a new found belief in a system of communication. Art for me is a vessel taken by the mind to achieve a greater perception of the world around us all.
Cheryl May is currently earning her BFA with an emphasis on painting and illustration coupled with women's studies. She is interested in creating art that raises awareness about social issues that arise from culturally accepted norms, roles and implications of gender. Her painting style varies from a subdued palette of light and shadow, to bold and colorful abstractions to suit the mood and purpose of the subject matter.
I learned in 4th grade that I had no artistic ability and completely gave up art—right up until a serious illness made me reconsider my life. I realized I needed a way to express myself creatively. Through a series of amazing coincidences, I ended up at a watercolor class in the south of France, and shortly after that, a private lesson with a local print-maker. I was hooked! There is a lack of control in printmaking that is engaging and fascinating to me; there is an element of surprise in every print. This medium also allows me to express myself using things that mean the most to me – found and natural objects, and images from my travels. I've learned an incredible life lesson: art can be fun!
My passionate interest in photography started as a young child and has continued throughout my adult life. As a fine art photographer, my photographic images encompass many areas of the art form including landscape, still life, portraiture, and abstract. The imagery I create strives to extract the beauty in even the simplest or mundane of objects or settings. I shoot in digital as well as medium and large format film. Recently I have been delving into the realm of alternative process photography, exploring practices such as cyanotype, gum dichromate, and silver salt printing. These historic processes allow me to slow down and more thoroughly investigate the inner beauty and form of each image.

OKTAHA, Okla. —
With sunlight and warmth ticking away, rescuers were growing more frantic by the minute. And when the boys were found, their relief was clear.
Keefeton Volunteer Fire Department Chief Speck Plunkett and Mohr coordinated much of the search of the area.
"We're thankful the kids aren't hurt and that they're safe," Plunkett said. "A lot of people worked very hard today to find them."
Muskogee County Sheriff's Office Lt. Mike Grace said he believed the boys had recently run away as many as three times.
"At this point, (The Department of Human Services) has to be notified," Grace said. "We're glad the kids are OK and safe, but they've done this before and it has escalated to this point now."
Information for this story was provided by the Muskogee (Okla.) Phoenix

A.Vogel Echinaforce Liquid is organically grown from their own herb cultivations by their own expert herbalists. A.Vogel Echinaforce Liquid supports a healthy immune response. A.Vogel Echinaforce Liquid is 100% certified organically grown Echinacea.A.Vogel Echinaforce Liquid efficacy is supported by clinical studies. A.Vogel Echinaforce Liquid has an unique combination of fresh Echinacea purpurea herb and root.
EchinaceaParts Used and Where GrownEchinacea is a wildflower native to North America. While echinacea continues to grow and is harvested from the wild, the majority used for herbal supplements comes from cultivated plants. The root and/or the above-ground part of the plant during the flowering growth phase are used in herbal medicine.
Historical or Traditional UseEchinacea was used by Native Americans for a variety of conditions, including venomous bites and other external wounds. It was introduced into U.S. medical practice in 1887 and was touted for use in conditions ranging from colds to syphilis. Modern research started in the 1930s in Germany.
About Bioforce USA A.VogelBased on the lifelong work of Alfred Vogel, Bioforce USA is the premier supplier of highest quality Natural Products throughout the United States. Bioforce USA was founded by industry leader Paul Ross to continue his longstanding tradition of marketing the world's most relied upon products of natural origin to sustain a healthy lifestyle. Bioforce USA's product repertoire includes Europe's finest manufacturers of products that have scientific support in their use and function, as well as a history of millions of satisfied consumers. It is their mission to support the Health Food Channel with superior quality products that cannot be found anywhere else, and that consumers can trust in and rely upon.
Bioforce USA is approached continually to act as the U.S. sales and marketing representative for numerous companies and products. But they take time to thoroughly investigate each, and select only those that are truly natural, safe, and effective and that have a unique niche for natural products retailers. SECURE natural dental adhesive and Mites Out! neem-based spray are two examples of industry firsts.
Vogel's aim was to supply a growing number of patients with natural remedies and other health-giving products which met his own high standards. Besides herbal and homeopathic medicines, Bioforce also produces organic foods and dietary products as well as body care products, all prepared from Alfred Vogel's own recipes and according to his specifications. Bioforce is active in 33 countries, with five "daughter" companies and seven partner companies, and over 600 employees.
Ross, who knew the profound bond of a family organization, soon wooed his son-in-law, Pierce Sioussat, who formerly spearheaded the Abkit line with Ross, and the dynamic husband-and-wife team of Bob and Eileen Sheets to carry forth the mission of supplying American health food stores with the very best natural products the world truly has to offer.
Bioforce USA provides its retail community with a host of promotional support services, such as co-op advertising, beautiful educational brochures, counter and floor displays, samplings and periodic specials as incentives.

4.05/5 rDev +29.8%
This brew pours a off white head of fine to medium sized white colored bubbles. It has a suprisingly nice raspberry aroma and a very smooth raspberry flavor that was definately not overdone. The flavor was most excellent and I thought it was one of the better beers we tried at Flossmoor Station.

I was told by my server at Flossmoor Station that this was a raspberry wheat. Certainly some wheatiness to it. I found a nice balance of fruitiness and hoppiness. A pale slightly hazy body under a thin, fizzy head. Not one of Todd's usual a**-kickers, but a good summer quencher that I hope can improve.

3.33/5 rDev +6.7%
Had on tap at FS. Poured a light orange, with decent carbonation and a thin off-white head that disspated quickly and left little lacing. Strong dominant nose of super-tart raspberry and a mouthfeel and taste that followed suit. The finish tended to be overly sweet, as the tartness wore off.
A nice beer to try, but it wouldnt be a regular for me.

(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer has a warm golden color on a crystal clear body and a thick white head sits on top.
S- The smell of raspberry perfume is strong but not old lady strong.
T- The tart raspberry flavor is nice but has a bit of a chemical taste to it. It is followed by a soft pale malt and faint wheat note. It finishes with a soft spice note that comes from hops but is not hoppy in character.
M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel
D- This beer is a good beer base with some raspberry extracts. They are not over the top flavorings but it would be nice to see some fresh fruit notes in there.

On tap at Flossmoor Station pre-DLD.
Pours deep hazy red with a small off-white/pink head.
Aroma is raspberries, wheat, and grain. Decent, better than the cherry wheat beer here.
Flavor has a nice fresh raspberry note, along with some medicinal cough syrup. A little wheat as well. Not too sweet, unlike the cherry wheat.
Medium body. A little watery on the palate, but not terrible.
A pretty average fruit beer overall. Nothing too exciting, but drinkable and not too offensive at least.

Served in a nonic pint glass at the brewpub.
Anyone else miss the ol' Snick show Roundhouse? Hm. Anyway, this brew pours a clear sunset amber topped by over a finger of off-white foam. The nose comprises raspberry, gauze, and a light blanket of wheat. The taste holds notes of mildly medicinal raspberry, with a peppery and clove-filled finish. The body is a light medium, with a light carbonation and a watery feel. Overall, the fruit seems too fake and the rest is too nonexistent for this to be rated any higher.

2.98/5 rDev -4.5%
Had on tap at Flossmoor.
A- Poured a coppery red color with some darker almost purple hues toward the middle of the beer. One finger off light pink head shows medium retention. Lacing on the glass was streaked and light at best.
S- Raspberries galore! This actually smelled to me like real raspberries not quite lambic style but this beer holds its own in the aroma department. Underlying this is a nice wheat backbone and hints of alcohol in the final seconds of the aroma. I do like the aroma of this beer as it doesn't go over the top but settle and nice smelling.
T- The flavor has gone down a little bit. The raspberry flavor is a little stale and tastes medicinal to boot. This doesn't lead well into the middle which shows off more a wheat balanced middle. The raspberry still lingers into the ending but dies down a little adding a almost clove like flavor that leads into an alcohol finish. The alcohol kills off most all other flavor except for a stale raspberry taste.
M- Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation is light for the style I thought which help lead to the medium mouthfeel. Stale raspberry and wheat left on the palate. Aftertaste is sweet hot alcohol, raspberry, and hints of wheat. Flavors were balanced as well as they could be I suppose for this one. No real off flavors just a funky aftertase is all. Light alcohol drying on the palate with each sip.
O- This beer looked average, smelled wonderful, and tasted average. This seems to be the current running with Flossmoor Station. A slump I hope they break as they have made some very good beers in the past. Here's to another brewmaster I guess!!

Pours cranberry colored. Smell is sweet malty raspberries all the way. Taste is very bland however and surprising compared to the robust smell. Dry light lasting raspberry flavor, but weak body and flavor really keep this from being too good. Eh, nothing great...

On tap at the brew pub.
Poura an ugly dark copper that looks like it had purple dye dumped in the middle, just looks generic. Good retention and lacing...The aroma is really nice raspberries, not generic at all, almost as good and real as a framboise lambic in terms of representing the true smell of a raspberry. The fruit is further balanced by some really nice wheat aromas...The taste sadly is a huge letdown those nice raspberries turn here into some generic and stale and reminds of another crappy stawberry beer that just can't be done right. too sweet, generic, with a weird aftertaste.
A poor fruit wheat beer that's not worth trying.

Irresponsible tick #11
A) Deep crimson and ruby color. It looks like some manner of fruit drink or tea. 1/2 inch head doesn't last and there isn't much lace.
S) Raspberry, raspberry, raspberry and wheat - there's the syrupy old aroma for you.
T/M) It has a syrupy feel and taste, too. Think cough syrup but not as thick. I'd wager many folks would fancy this, but not me. At least it isn't sickly sweet. I will give it that.

Legislation prohibiting smoking on the campuses of Illinois public universities has passed the House.
The "Smoke Free Campus Act" is sponsored by state Democratic Sen. Terry Link of Waukegan and Democratic state Rep. Ann Williams of Chicago. It passed the chamber by a 67-44 vote Wednesday.
The legislation bans smoking in offices, dorms and outdoor areas at colleges and universities.
Smoking inside vehicles located on campus is not included in the ban.
Proponents of the law say it's a step in the right direction for public health. But opponents say it won't prompt smokers to quit.
The measure now heads to the Senate.
The legislation is SB2202.

In first grade, kids start to learn about reading, writing and arithmetic, and in Missouri you may soon be able to add guns to that list.
Gun safety is a topic some people think should be taught to children and now Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has signed a bill into law that would allow teachers to instruct first-graders on gun safety using literature from the National Rifle Association featuring Eddie Eagle, a gun safety mascot.
"There are too many kids who grab the guns and kill their cousins. I agree, I think they should know gun safety. It would be helpful," Cathy Peters said.
But not everyone believes the program should be a part of a school curriculum for children as young as 5. Jan Relf is a teacher and said the lesson does not belong in a classroom.
"We have too many things to teach our first-graders, second-graders and on up to be spending time teaching about gun safety. That's something that parents need to deal with," Relf said.
KCTV5 reached out to the NRA for an explanation and no one returned the calls. But a statement posted on the organization's website said, "The purpose of the Eddie Eagle Program isn't to teach whether guns are good or bad, but rather to promote the protection and safety of children. The program makes no value judgments about firearms, and no firearms are ever used in the program."
The statement goes on to explain, "Eddie Eagle is never shown touching a firearm, and he does not promote firearm ownership or use. The Eddie Eagle Program has no agenda other than accident prevention - ensuring that children stay safe should they encounter a gun."
One person said kids should know about gun safety, but she doesn't think that lesson should come in class.
"I don't think that has a place in the schools. That's for parents to deal with," Kathy Anderson said.
The bill signed Friday allows schools to teach the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program and to seek financial grants to do so. But it stops short of mandating the course.
The NRA says its course has been taught to more than 26 million children nationwide since it began in 1988. Virginia enacted a law in 2010 allowing gun safety courses based on the NRA program.
The Missouri legislation requires schools to conduct an active-shooter drill led by law enforcement officers.
It also assigns the duty of issuing identification cards for concealed gun permits to sheriffs, instead of driver's license clerks.
Nixon said it's up to school districts to decide if they will start teaching gun safety. Kansas City Public Schools, Independence and Blue Springs school districts got back to KCTV5 and said they won't be doing the program.
Many viewers went on the KCTV5 Facebook page to let us know what they think about the idea. Amber said her kids went through the Eddie Eagle program 15-years ago and they can still recite it. She goes on to point out the education might come in handy in case your kids are at a friends' house where there is a gun.
Kim disagrees, saying first grade is too young. She wrote quote, "Let them get old enough to realize first what a gun is and what it can do."

Things I liked:it works when other "people" don't lol you can fill up anytime of day.
Things I would have changed:make it a little bit easier or send a workout videos with it lol. my arms have exploded my girlfriend loves it. it is definitely a pretty tough work going from empty to 3000 psi but I personally don't run the tank down past 2000 psi so the refill isn't that bad and that's where I find I get the most consistant accuracy anyways. and make it cheaper
What others should know:it is very tough to pump over 2500 psi it takes some actual strength to force the pump all the way down.
I have a similar pump and I weigh about 150 pounds. I took an eight foot 2x4, drilled a 1/2 inch pivot hole in one end then mounted it at about the minimum height of the pump to a post using the pivot hole. I sit the pump on a narrow piece of wood, to enable it to rock, at about 4 feet from the post. I then put a trash bag over the pump to protect it then bungee the handle to the 2x4 at about its midpoint. I step on the base and lift the 2x4 for the up stroke then use how much of board that I need for the down stroke. This does not reduce the work but gives us light folk enough leverage for the pump. Simple stupid and cheap, yet it makes an impossible job easy. One thing I will add, if the pump gets really hard to lift for the up stroke, just keep on pumping, pausing as usual at the top and bottom. After a few cycles my pump clears its throat and keeps on pumping.
Things I liked:Easy to carry around. Does the trick in pumping up the pressure in rifle to 3000psi.
Things I would have changed:I guess you can't expect too much from a small hand pump. When first pumping cylinder up to pressure, it took probably about six to seven hundred pumps !!! That was a "workout." I had seen videos that demonstrated how easy it was with a little. Girl pumping up her dad's gun. Not so !! I'm pretty fit and it was quite a workout for me. Might have to get a scuba tank.............
Things I liked:Like the construction of the pump nice and looks good. Never having a PCP air gun I did not know what to expect, unit works good with some effort on high pressure end.

Fall In Love Again With Poetry
November 3, 2009 at 3:52 pm , by Julie Bain
Today you've probably read dozens of e-mails, news items, tweets and status updates. But when was the last time you heard someone recite a poem? For me, surprisingly, it was twice in the past week—in fact, I was pelted by poems like bright autumn leaves in the wind. I wanted to pile them up and roll in them. I'd forgotten just how therapeutic that could be.
First, at work I overheard two colleagues talking about poems having to do with autumn. I chimed in with the snippets I could remember from my school days: for one, Keats's "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness…" (so charmingly butchered to "fruitlessness" by Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones's Diary). And then Shakespeare's adorably mournful metaphor for his own aging in "That time of year thou mayst in me behold/when yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang/Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,/Bare ruin'd choirs where late the sweet birds sang." Oh, and who could forget Robert Frost's "two roads diverged in a yellow wood…"
But then Tom Claire, our associate managing editor, bowled me over by reciting one I'd never heard before, in its entirety. If you don't know it, you should. It's "The Importance of Autumn" by beat poet Lew Welch, from his out-of-print book Ring of Bone. (No, you can't Google this poem, but if you post a comment asking for it here, Tom says he'll e-mail it to you.)
Now my poetry pump was primed. So I read Kim Rosen's beautiful new book Saved By A Poem: The Transformative Power of Words. It's filled with stories of people whose lives were changed or helped by the power of a poem, including the author, who lost her life savings to Bernie Madoff. Guess what? Poetry sustained and inspired her through an incredibly difficult time.
Then I was lucky enough to be invited to a small gathering at writer Eve Ensler's loft in New York City, where Rosen recited several of the poems from the book by heart—and from the heart. Hearing these poems spoken aloud reminded me of the power of language that is not tweets, not sound bites, not status updates. As Ensler wrote in the book's foreword:
"Poetry is a form of revolution. It strengthens our muscle for care, our capacity for intricate metaphoric thinking, our appreciation for ambiguity. It take us out of the literal so that we can see what is real."
What poems have helped you see what is real?

Flooding hotspots flare up after a week of heavy rain
6:30pm Friday 30th November 2012 in News By Adam Richards
A WEEK of heavy rain has resulted in widespread disruption to motorists who have been forced to navigate through substantial outbreaks of standing water on borough roads.
Pelton Road, in Houndmills, as well as Wade Road, in Daneshill, and Sherfield Road, in Bramley, have all been badly flooded.
The county council highways team were put on high alert last Thursday as 60mph winds and heavy downpours battered the county. Since November 20, up to three inches of rain has fallen in Basingstoke.
Following the outbreaks of localised flooding, Hampshire County Council environment chief Councillor Mel Kendal said county officers have earmarked up to six different hotspots in Basingstoke and Deane for drainage improvement work, as part of its long-running Operation Resilience.
These are Basingstoke's Worting Road, the A30 at the Winchester Roundabout, Wade Road, Pelton Road, as well as Stoke Lane, in St Mary Bourne, and The Street in Bramley.
Last week, people visiting the Wade Road recycling centre struggled to get in and out as the road was barred by a large pool of water.
"We are fully aware of the situation with regard to flooding on Wade Road," said Cllr Kendal, executive member for environment and transport. "We are now making arrangements for a more comprehensive technical investigation of the whole existing drainage system to identify potential problems and scope for improvements.
"Subject to our findings, we will look to include any drainage improvement works as part of our long-term planned structural maintenance programme, Operation Resilience, to be carried out during the 2013/14 financial year.
"We are also working with our partners at Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, who are responsible for the access road in to the household waste recycling centre, to explore how this problem could be resolved to everyone's satisfaction."

---- — CHAZY — A 19-year-old driver from Jericho, Vt., was injured in a accident on Route 11 in Chazy at about 7 a.m. Saturday.
Andrew Carbee, driving a Chevy pick-up truck, failed to straighten out his wheel after a turn in the roadway on Route 11, according to State Police. This caused him to drive off the road and hit a telephone pole. Carbee told Chazy Police that it was not from a distraction.
He suffered head and face injuries from the airbag and was transported to CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh.

Pours a semi-thick black color with deep brown edges. A straight pour down the center causes almost no noise as a deep-tan colored head slowly starts forming seconds after I'm finished pouring. It goes quick and leaves no lacing behind.
The aroma is heavy and robust, even a little more so than I was expected. Some lightly sweet, roasted malts, lots of licorice, hints of anise, a good amount of chocolate. Plenty of deep and dark fruit notes floating around; plums, dates, prunes, raisins, almost with a wine-like essence to it. Warmth brings out some more chocolate, along with a sweet molasses. The alcohol itself shows a presence but doesn't sting the nostrils too much.
The taste, however, is a slightly different story. Up front, you get a hefty boozy flavor - mild fusel alcohol notes and a stingy warming effect that takes over your palate. Lots of flavors combine shortly thereafter; dark chocolate, fudge cake, lots of roasted malts, bitter and burnt coffee beans... The taste is definitely more roasty-bitter and less creamy-sweet than the aroma had lead on - not a bad thing, though. Nice hop profile squirts out about midway through; leafy, ashy hops with a heavy bitterness that hits the back of the palate - only coupling with the heavy roast to amplify the bitterness even more. The alcohol heat grows and is the heaviest at the end; aftertaste is a deeply pitted roast flavor with a huge backing of booze. Silky smooth mouth feel, low carbonation.
Wasn't expecting much out of this, but it turned out to be pretty good. I like things that are super-roasted, and that's exactly what this is. A little heavy on the alcohol character, though. This one is definitely a slower sipper than I pictured it would be.

750ml bottle. #155 of 672.
Pours into my glass a thick deep dark black that is impervious to light. An inch of creamy tan foam on top that leaves lacing all over the glass as it falls. Aromas start with dark malts along with a big blast of cocoa. Caramel accents meld with licorice notes. Somewhat sweet with bold molasses undertones.
First sip brings dark roasted malt upfront that carries some residual sweetness with it as well. Big cocoa flavors along with licorice and molasses flavors. A touch of coffee melds into the flavor. Flows down with some bitterness and a mellow hop tone. Baker's chocolate and a bit of alcohol on the finish. A big, robust porter.
Mouthfeel is smooth and had a good viscosity. Carbonation is on the more mellow side which works nice. Goes down almost too easily. Overall, a good imperial porter and it is holding up extremely well after two years in the bottle now. Very glad I had the chance to try this and I hope Short's brews it again.

12 oz 2011 release
A - Pours pitch black with one finger of brown head. Head doesn't last long and leaves only small amounts of lacing.
S - Roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and a bit of vanilla and molasses. Very nice.
T - Follows the smell nicely. Roasted malts that are somewhat bitter, both bittersweet and a touch of milk chocolate, faint coffee and vanilla. A very faint sweet element. A bit of noticeable alcohol, but doesn't detract from the taste.
M - Medium mouthfeel with good carbonation and an earthy dry finish.
O - Between this and Black Cherry Porter, I really wish Short's would do a year-round porter, as they are both very good. Hope this becomes at least an annual release, if not more often.

This is a fine porter. From the bottle into a short mug. Two fingers of caramel colored head, near black body. Warm and rosty, hints of ripe fruit. This porter is strong but the alcohol is not prominent in mouth feel or taste. Perfect for a winter evening. Lovely with a rich stew.

Thank you Derek for bringing. Very good roast aroma. A dark thick chocolate pour. A whote head with lots of bubbles. Thick and lacey down thye glass. A porter's imitation of an imperial stout. Roasted malt. Above average mouthfeel. Some sips, at the end of the bottle, contained some sourness. Recommended.

Black, opaque and a slight tan head after a vigorous pour. Smells of coffee, chocolate, molasses and dark fruits. I taste big roasted malts and chocolate. Very robust. This is very much not unlike a Russian Imperial Stout. Finishes dry. Mouthfeel is heavy and lightly carbonated. Overall, I'm glad I tried it. But this is too much like an RIS to set it apart.

12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. Thanks to chpueblo22 for this one. I'm always excited to try new Short's brews.
Appearance - Dark brown, not quite black, as it pours. No head. Maybe a glimmer of some mocha bubbles.
Smell - A bit of roast, but it's remarkably nutty. Like sweet peanuts and malt. An interesting smell, for sure, and one I'm rather enjoying. Grainy and earthy at the same time.
Taste - Mimics the smell. A touch sweet and then a solid nutty and grainy malt backbone. The finish is of the darker persuasion. More roasty in the finish, but still quite earthy. Hardly bitter at all.
Mouthfeel - Lacking in carbonation. Nearly flat, in fact. As much as I enjoy drinking it, it could use a livelier body.
Overall - One of the best Short's beers I've had. Quite enjoyable. It gets better as I drink it, too.

Five still hospitalized from lightning strikes
WELLINGTON, Colo. (AP) _ Five people remain hospitalized following lightning strikes in Colorado and Montana.
Wellington Fire Protection District chief Gary Green said Friday two farm workers are still in the hospital and nine others were treated at local hospitals after a lightning bolt struck near them on Thursday as they tried to seek shelter in a field north of Fort Collins, Colo.
Three people injured by a lightning strike in Glacier National Park in Montana while hiking are also hospitalized.
A 65-year-old woman who was struck by lightning near a trailhead in Rocky Mountain National Park was transferred from Estes Park Medical Center to another hospital and her condition was not released.
None of the victims have been identified.
Region 23 Emergency Management Director Jerry Bretthauer says if you hear thunder or observe lightning take shelter if you are on a golf course, beach or in the water. He says to make sure you are not standing at the high point in an open area and stay away from trees. Even if you are home you need to stay away from windows, don't use electrical devices, and stay off of phones.

Between plans for the new Vinton library and a revitalization grant, the town of Vinton is getting a major facelift.
Earlier this year Vinton's Town Council approved a $700,000 downtown revitalization grant.
Plus Thursday night at a public meeting the town took suggestions for a new $9 million public library set to be built in the near future.
"It's exciting. Our business owners and our people in the community are excited about showing it off and getting people back into downtown Vinton," said Vinton Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Angie Chuwning-Lewis. "(We want to) show what kind of businesses we actually have here."
Vinton will also be remodeling several store fronts to give it a different look and attract more people to the town.

Archived:Porting from Android to Nokia Platforms
The complete porting article series
- Porting Mobile Applications to Qt
- Porting from iPhone to Nokia Platforms
- Porting from Android to Nokia Platforms
- Porting iPhone web app to WRT on Nokia devices
- Fundamental use cases for porting iPhone and Android applications to Qt
- Useful-porting-examples
- Qt Quick examples for porting
- Wordpress developer story
The following article describes recommended ways to port different types of Android applications to Nokia platforms, and also covers the most typical special cases.
Normal Android Java Apps
Since Android applications are written in Java, direct code-level reuse is typically not possible when porting to Qt. Typically the application design and assets can be reused in a new QML UI, and the code rewritten.
Java Native Interface
A notable special case is where the Java Native Interface (JNI) is used in the Android application. JNI allows the use of C/C++ shared libraries from Android code.
Although this is not a recommended way to develop basic Android applications, it is very useful in some specific cases — for example, with games relying on existing game engines, which are often written in C/C++.
If the Android application uses these kinds of C/C++ shared libraries, code-level reuse is also often possible, especially towards the Maemo platform but also sometimes towards the Symbian platform.
Nowadays, in addition to developing Android applications directly in the Java language, several Android applications are also built as web applications using the WebKit approach with tools like Titanium Mobile or by utilizing the LibWebCore in manual fashion from the Android application.
For these types of web applications the recommended porting approach is to rewrite the application with Qt Quick, especially if the intention is to develop an impressive UI. For more information on Qt Quick, see the section on Qt Quick in the porting introduction.
Developers could also consider building a Qt Quick application and basing its functionality on embedded web views; for more information, see the Fundamental porting use cases document.
User interface
Although code cannot typically be reused, the graphics and design of the application can often be reused to good effect. For example, in Qt Quick, scaling of the existing UI elements is very easy and may not require much rework from the UI designers.
Generally, however, your application will look best and be most usable if you take some time to redesign the application layout. An application layout that looks great on an Android device may not be very usable on a Nokia device, since the usage paradigm of user interface and available features affecting the user experience are different.
For more information on UI design for Nokia devices, see [http://www.developer.nokia.com/Design/ the Nokia Developer Design and User Experience Guide].
How to Proceed with Porting
- Fundamental use cases for porting iPhone and Android applications to Qt
- Qt Quick examples for porting - examples for creating fancy UI elements with Qt Quick
- Wordpress developer story describes the real-life experience of porting an application from iPhone to Qt. Both iPhone and Qt sources of the Wordpress client are also available as open source.
- See also Nokia Developer Design and User Experience Guide for ideas on how to achieve the best possible user experience when porting your application for Nokia devices.

My review may be off because I've had this beer sitting around.. The enjoy by date says April 2011 and it is now April 2012 haha.
Appearance - Pours a pale golden color with 2 inches of fluffy white head and creamy lacing.
Smell - Sweet with pale malts, citrus, grains, and a hint of wheat.
Taste - Skunky, strong hops, sweet and corny, grains, pale malts, and an awkward bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Light bodied with high carbonation.
Overall - Definitely not what I expected. I didn't enjoy it too much but it's not a "bad" beer.

A: This poured a clear straw color with fluffy white head.
S: It smelled like sweet banana bread and creamy yeast, with a little vanilla and bubble gum.
T: It tasted like creamy yeast and banana bread, with a little earthy barley and sweet bubble gum. It had a mostly clean and sweet aftertaste.
M: It was thin with a little carbonation. Very light body.
D: This was a strange sweet brew without much hops or typical lager taste. The body wasn't bad for the style, but was still pretty weak. The scent and taste weren't offensive, so it was easy enough to drink. But it didn't offer any satisfaction either. Worth a tick at best.

3.5/5 rDev +6.7%
A: Bright, but just shy of completely clear. Medium straw color with lots of streams of bubbles rising to a good fair size white head. Good retention & very nice lacing. A good looking Pilsner.
S: Pils Malt – both crackery & sweet. Hint of noble hops. Okay nose for a Pilsner.
T: Dry crackery pils malt with some fair background sweetness. Euro-lager sweet and floral esters show in the middle. Hops are quite a bit more forward than in the nose. Very noble with general spicy, sweet, & perfumey character. Up front there or light lemon citrus hints and at the very end a touch of mint. Fair amount of bitternes.
M: Medium to medium-light body with a bit over-matched carbonation. Crisp & refreshing. Quick, neutral finish.
D: Simple and straight forward, but then that is the Pilsner style. This is a nicely designed and crafted example of a taut & dryish version. A pleasant and easy drinker.
* not sure I reviewed this in the rights spot as I see Atwater as other brews named as Pilsners.

Atwater Block Brewery--Michigan Lager--2010 12 oz. Bottle. 5.00% ABV. 38 IBU's. (3.5 / 5.0) Pilsner. Foamy lacy thin white head. Fizzy clear bright yellow gold color. Sediment dust. Mild Noble hop Pilsner front. Fizzy crisp thin zesty refreshing mild flavored pils/pale lager mild citrus body. Clean dry subtle hop spice crisp end. Too fizzy & somewhat bland. Sampled 12/29/2010. November Malt of the Earth Beer of the Month Club Selection received 11/29/2010.

2.63/5 rDev -19.8%
This was rated as a German pilsner - not Vienna lager. It's declared right on the label.
A - fairly clear with a decent foamy white head that settles into a well retained collar and leaves nice lacing
S - diacetyl (buttered popcorn) initially and behind it some grainy malt
T - brief sweet malt intially with a strong noble hop like flavor and a moderately strong bitter hop finish; diacetyl is lighter in flavor but in aroma, but still present to a mild degree
M - medium-light body with high carbonation
D - This would be a decent version of a German pilsner if it weren't for the diacetyl. It's a shame too because I think the hopping and malt are just right to style.

Last of my current selection of my BOTMC as the clowns did repeat on one of the beers from 15 months ago. Well all is not lost, let's give this one a whirl. Popping the top I get a dry malty smell of white grapes and malted milk balls. Pours to a slightly cloudy yellow with a thin fizzy head that fades quickly. Taste is very rich and malty with only a twinge of bitterness from albeit, noble hops. The taste is quite bold and consistent throughout with the difference at the end. This brew is quite fresh and flavorful and spot on for the style. Very German and authentic not like a BMC Llave or Girl. This brew is growing on me as I drink it, I've never been much for this style but this brew is extremely hearty. Thumbs up and bottoms up!

3.53/5 rDev +7.6%
Poured into a pilsner: Massive head, like four fingers minimum, fast-rising & billowing white. Light gold body, clear, with quick nucleation. Leaves messy stripes of lacing.
Smells of hops that are earthy, maybe a little grassy, & dry. Sourdough bread? Even matzo? Just a dry, crisp, crusty baked good. Kind of like walking into a winery, too, that woody smell.
Hmm, did not expect it to taste like that: smooth lemon, a little peach, some wheaty malt, tea-like dryness & a touch peppery. The way the flavors blend reminds me much more of a Belgian blonde than a lager. Some bitterness in the aftertaste, but also the fruitiness. Not bad, but very unexpected.
Feels fairly smooth with a little bite in the finish & bitterness afterward.
Not sure what to think of this one. What I had wasn't bad, but it did seem off, & I'm wondering if that *just* means off-style or not. Label says April 2010 -- I'm assuming that means "Bottled on" & not "Best by." Can't say I'd like a lot of these in a row, but this was enjoyable enough. I'd be up for trying it again to see how another sampling compares.

Comes out of the tap a clear pale yellow with a typical white head - not inspiring. Fortunately, this is its weakest point. Aroma is crisp, malty and just a little fruity. Flavor is even better, malty with hints of fruit and hop bitterness. Texture is lively and fizzy. Nothing to write home about, but definitely worth a try!

Color: pours a light amber. sits a brilliantly clear dark amber
Smell: definitely rich in german malt but also has a surprising sour aroma. i also agree with others that there is a kind of metallic note there as well. light hop presence
Taste: the malt is soft and definitely apparent over the light hop presence. slight toasted note. bitterness is very low. finish is very dry with malt and hop in aftertaste
Mouthfeel: light-medium body. gentle creaminess with moderate carbonation.
Notes: tasty amber. fairly true to the style but im wondering about the "sour" notes. not experienced enough i guess to determine if its off or just me not familiar with something

3.88/5 rDev +18.3%
Poured bottle into pint glass.
Appearance: On the one hand, I say: It has a nice golden color that is slightly cloudy with a small head...appealing. On the other hand I say: That's not a Vienna Lager.
Smell: Has a good malt smell with what seems like a hint of lemon or something. Not much hop presence, but inviting.
Taste: Very smooth and refreshing. I felt it has a good balance between malt and hops and really kept me wanting more.
Mouthfeel: Has a fair body, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Drinkability: I really like this beer. Every once in a while, I find myself desiring a light, gold lager that's just good and not crazy complex. In that case, instead of reaching for a big macro beer, I can reach for this better, locally made beer. I still think the style is off, though, but I guess if you like it, it doesn't matter.

3.43/5 rDev +4.6%
A: Dingy yellow-orange body, completely transparent, with precisely no head.
S: A mild orangey citrus aroma up front with a corn lager backbone. The citrus is unexpected, to say the least, but not at all unwelcome.
T: Sweet corn, somewhat dry, with a nice yeasty complex citrus finish. Sweet aftertaste. Finishes clean.
M: I'm tempted to say "moderate" thickness, but that's really only considering the style. It's thin and goes down smooth, but is a tiny bit richer than you'd expect from a lager.
D: It's tough to rate this one. If you compare it to other commerically-available Vienna Lagers, this one seems to miss the mark. It's not nearly dark enough, for one, and it lacks the malty complexity I expect from a nice Vienna. But viewed as a microbrewery's answer to macro lagers, this is a nice change of pace. Overall, I find myself enjoying this quite a bit, even if it doesn't have the kind of complexity that leaves me wanting more. I'd buy it again. Maybe.

A bright clear golden color body with way too much head (usual for Atwater) over carbonated . Aroma is of light hops , yeast , hay and slightly metallic . Flavor is grainy,slightly fruity , light hops and a sour metallic finish, light bitterness, slightly sweet,fizzy mouthfeel , light body . Drinkable but nothing I would buy again.

Pours like a clear golden lager. Nice creamy white-off-white head formation. Moderate carbonation. The head dissipates quickly and the lager leaves virtually no Belgian lacing. Sweet notes of hay on the nose. Appears very light on malt and hops. The body is unexpectedly light. Very soft on the palate. The label suggests traditional German methods. What exactly do they mean by that? Is this an all-malt brew? For me it is too light and bright for Vienna Lager and too low on hops and malt for the Helles moniker. Makes me think of Schlitz rather than Spaten. The lingering is only moderately pleasant.

Clean, smooth, and eminently drinkable. No bitterness or aftertaste, just that pleasant, full and tasty beeriness in your mouth when you finish. Very crisp flavor without being too hoppy. Good, easy drinking lager. A nice mow-the-lawn or work-on-the-car beer. That is, an excellent warm weather, outdoors session beer. Another good Michigan beer.

Nice dark golden color with a dense white head you could stand a toothpick up in. It's got a nice sweet malty smell like a German style lager ought to have. Carmel-like, perhaps. Good clean tasting beer with no unpleasant aftertaste at all. It's semi-sweet and tastes like it was made from high quality ingredients. Smooth drinking and just the right heavyness. Very good. Just what a Lager should be.

Remembering Naomi Sims
"Beauty does surpass prejudice at a point, yet sometimes the effort people are making to assimilate us seems contrived."
So said Naomi Sims, a pioneer in the modeling world and the first black woman to appear on our (or any women's magazine's) cover in 1968. Sims, 61, died this week from cancer.
Around the office these past few days, we're all standing up a little taller. Naomi forced herself into the fashion world, and wasn't timid with her opinions once she got there. Remembering her makes us proud of LHJ's groundbreaking history and grateful that we have the chance to feature strong women. Naomi was a lady, and she'll be missed by these ladies.
"At LHJ we believe that you can never underestimate the power of a woman," says Sally Lee, our editor-in-chief (she gets the big bucks for always being ready with a sound bite). "It's part of our DNA. We have a history of supporting rule-breakers and policy-makers."
And Naomi was just that: a rule-breaker.
"Within the fashion industry, she changed the accepted aesthetic," says Sue Erneta, our fashion editor. "She made it not only acceptable but desirable to show your clothing on a black model."
And speaking of clothing, we're also enjoying looking back at the fashion we so proudly featured in the late '60s. In case you were wondering, Naomi is wearing a "jiffy crochet" sweater on the cover that "even a beginner could finish in eight hours." Pretty and practical, even 40 years ago.

Church Family Day by True Love Deliverance Church - 12 months ago
"We celebrate our church 29th anniversary with family and friends on September 8, 2013. My experience with working with CustomInk was as nothing I had every experience before. From the very beginning til the day of delivery was amazing every individual I spoke with throughout my ordering process was very attentive to my needs, desire and there was always reassurance that my order would arrived on schedule. To my surprise my order was 4 day earlier than scheduled. We were complimented by several representatives on the design of our church logo and how the drawing was very unique and different which let me knew they took personal interest in my order not just another t-shirt order. I would never seek to order from any other industry again. THINK T-SHIRTS THINK CUSTOMINK!!!"
