Dark dark brown, almost black in color with a light brown head. Head leaves small bubbles around rim of glass. Smells are boozy, roasted and bitter. Tastes is bittersuite with a nice roastiness. Booze a bit prevelant in this flavor wise, not a bother but think it would have been if masked a little more. Feel is smooth and velvety. Good but has potential to be much better. Just misses the mark somehow to be great.

Beer poured from bottle into a Snifter shaped glass
A - Beer pours with a dark colored body, motor oil in appearance; small tan head formed, less than one finger in size; not much lacing stuck around the glass; tar look
S - Really dark chocolate; moldy yeast nose; moldy cheese, like a mascarpone; ricotta; back-end has a dark burnt malt nose; sherry; no hops to this beer at all
T - Dark coffee, espresso favor; slight liquor based flavor, followed up with a yeasty chocolate taste; figs and sweet prunes
M - Medium body; not much of an aftertaste; lingering coffee aftertaste; touch of coffee flavored ice cream coffee; no carbonation what so ever
D - Alright; not sure where they were going with the yeast and moldy cheese taste; its a stout, what more could you want besides smooth burnt malt flavoring? I think the moldiness could have better served with a Gueuze or or other light roasted ale

I was really surprised by this beer and by it's low overall score when I got here. It may not be a huge Imperial Stout like a Surly or Three Floyds but it is what it is and it is good. I would say sublimely balanced with lots of flavors. Very drinkable and delicious. I'll be picking up a case of these to stash away for the rest of the winter.

Shared with colleagues, 1.20.11.
Dark brown almost black opaque body, no visible carbonation, broken brown head less than a finger resulted in uneven ring around edge of glass. Faint bit of roast in the nose, even less chocolate, citrusy hops. Taste is pretty muted for style, more mild roast than chocolate, more nibs than dark chocolate, neither is very assertive, citrus hops, not bitter. Mouthfeel is a bit light for the style, good effervescence, not sticky, ABV pretty well hidden. A good value at this price point, but quality wise there are many better available beers in this category.

Served in straight pint glass. Poured a solid black with about 3/4 inch of medium brown head that had good retention and low lacing.
The aroma was full, rich, sharp roasted tones with solid grains underneath. The flavors were pretty similar, roast and grain, with just a touch of alcohol. Fairly typical for the style.
The body was a bit fuller and smoother than average. Drinkability was very good, the beer went down easily and smoothly. Overall, a nice example of the style, a bit better than average and one of this brewery's better efforts. Worth trying when you see it.

3.03/5 rDev -10.1%
Acquired from Hale's and poured from bomber into a snifter.
Pours inky blank with very slight head. Leaves a light brown lace as foam dissipates.
What is that smell?!? It's not necessarily bad as it is unique. It smells seriously like a slight blueberry(?) yogurt or something (or is this what one would call lactose?). Drinks weird, a tad like an imperial cream stout. Got some fruit flavors mixed in with chocolate, molasses, caramel, licorice, malt. Finishes with light hops and toasted/burnt malt. Unsure if the fruit flavors are from the hop profile or use of fruit. Some slight vanilla and bitter malt become apparent as the brew goes down. Syrupy dark malt flavor lingers on the tongue between sips... and that yogurt flavor.
It's tough to think about where this beer deserves to be ranked. I don't think it's quite as bad as some others have mentioned but at the same time it's hard to put this even close to any of the upper echelon stouts. If anything, to me it seems like they tried to get just about every stout flavor and characteristic combined into one beer instead of focusing on a specific flavor profile for their beer. For $5, it isn't bad but at the same time I wish I would have been able to bring something else back from Seattle than this.

Poured from a 22oz bomber at about 50F.
A - Pours the darkest of blacks, with a nice creamy chocolate head - practically nitro-tap in texture and appearance. Just a bit of lacing.
S - Deep roasted malts, espresso and dark molasses. Some fruitiness as well.
T - Strong coffee notes backed by dark chocolate, black licorice, molasses and dark fruit. Some smoky quality as well - a touch of burnt malt perhaps... Quite decent overall, with just a bit of booziness, and a mild bitter aftertaste.
M - Fairly creamy, with a low to moderate level of carbonation. A bit syrupy on the tongue.
D - Although not the strongest by ABV, the 22oz'er was more than enough for one sitting. This really pummels the taste buds with its depth of dark roasted flavors, and although not the best RIS I have had, it was quite satisfying overall. Wouldn't mind seeing this in 12oz bottles which would be a more easily consumed size.

D/FW AIRPORT -- Just in from California, 15-year-old Jarod Robinson is here to spend the holidays with his mom.
"This is what it's all about," said Stormi Robinson, Jarod's mother.
Stormi's son, JR, and his wife, and daughter are in from Virginia, and Stormi's daughter, Jaleesa, is on break from UNT.
"It's all I wanted," Stormi said. "I just wanted us all to be together for Christmas."
Stormi Robinson is battling Stage 4 stomach cancer. Her cancer is in remission, and it has changed how she sees the holidays and life.
"I've always been there, but I don't know that I've always been present," she said. "Now I'm more present to them than I probably ever have been before."
The gifts and presents are not what the next five days together will be about.
"You just don't know what life is going to hand you everyday," Stormi said. "So I try to tell everybody to truly enjoy what you have, because people normally don't realize it until it's too late."
After a difficult year, the true miracle of the season is having Mom be the gift -- being present.
"I have everybody and I couldn't ask for anything else," Stormi Robinson said.

i thought the same thing. it seems to have itachi thinking and regretting what he did.

itachi is on a Genjutsu to protect konnah right he even said he cant stop because of the Genjutsu then why would he go for kabuto whos trying to capture the nine and eight tails why not go for sasuke whos sayin hes goin to distroy konnah
Well I believe the village is in more immediate danger because of Kabuto at the moment with Edo Madara & he's leaving Sasuke for Naruto to take care of
My Prediction Please Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giySI...3&feature=plcp

Orochimaru tanked several of her punches and was able to continue fighting. She was selected as Hokage simply because she was a Sannin, but until we see more abilities out of her, she is considered the weakest Hokage.
I sadly agree with u :shrug:

You have to love when people wanna share their predictions; makes you think more on things and become less narrow-minded, no matter how open-minded you were to begin with. I'll go check it out~
Anyway, I dunno if this has already been discussed, but does anybody know exactly what Itachi meant by "indications" in that one part of Chapter 576? Where he thinks of Naruto, like, directly after/during. I have my own theories, but Kishi didn't make it very clear as to exactly what he meant, in my book. Or maybe it was just the translators. I mean, you can kind of deduce what he means, but even then it's not as clear as it should be. Any ideas?
((totally just trying to keep the thread going~ Oh, and get an answer. Duh.))
I believe Tsunade will be hurt but not die. For sure the other kages will not let her die, and she will be saved from dying from the hands of edo Madara just when Itachi killed Kabuto thereby stopping the jutsu.

The edo tensai doesn't end when kabuto dies, they have to force him to end it through hand seals or seal all the edo's.
I think itachi will head toward kabuto and sasuke will go to rescue the kages. The first EMS vs the second, a battle of epic purportions
As far as we know Sasuke will follow Itachi now towards Kabuto and i guess Kabuto already wanted sasuke so more than likely Kabuto is gonna take sasuke's eyes
yesh Itachi owns this chapter!
i knew it would happen sooner or later?
Watch madara get sealed just like the rest of the edo tensei
He is someone dead after all
It's good :D
Here is my prediction of Naruto Manga Chapter 578 Title : The Awakening
Recap In my last prediction Konoha 11 arrives and shortly after Tobi charges to Sakura and nobody can do something because of Tobi's Power Naruto doesn't know what to do we follow of where we left of.
Naruto: What do i do? * Naruto gets teleported to where all the tailed beast are at *
Naruto asks : What ... WHY AM I HERE?
Kurama says: Naruto its time
Naruto asks : Time for what?
Kurama says : You are THE SAGE OF SIX PATHS ARE NOW YOU ARE GETTING HIS POWERS AT THIS MOMENT WERE TALKING!
*Naruto was left breathless*
Naruto: Soo ... I am the (SO6P) well what do i get?
Kurama replies : You get his rennigan and all his knowledge and also you'll be able to use all 5 elements.
Kurama says : Go save her again.
*Naruto comes back to the real world*
Naruto says to himself : WHAT DO I DO WHAT DO I DO?!?!
*Naruto saves Sakura yet again*
All were amazed of Naruto's power and speed
Sakura sees that Naruto's eyes has changed
Sakura asks Naruto : Naruto your your eyes has changed
*All see that Naruto has the rennigan *
The End of the Chapter
Naruto Ch. 577 - Prediction - Senju vs. Uchiha!
Tsunade has kindled her will of fire...!!
Madara and The Kage's
Madara: ... That's more like it, Senju...
Show me this "will of fire" that you speak of...
Tsunade: ... I suggests you prepare yourself...
Tsunade charges with electricity. She uses it to enhance her speed and reflexes like with A.
A: She's using Raiton no Yoroi...!! And what's more... Her chakra reserve is huge... Even greater than my own, and it's still growing!!
Onooki: She's able to absorb the atmospheric chakra and convert it into her own chakra, almost exactly like Sennin mode... Truly a Senju...!!
Tsunade is continuing to charge up...
Madara: (Her sheer fierceness is just like Mito's... What a waste of talent)
Tsunade sets up to charge Madara. She closes in on him before he notices...
Madara: This speed...!!
Tsunade attempts to attack the back of Madara's neck with Ranshinshō, to distort his chakra pathway system. Madara spins out of the way just in time and tries to counter.
Madara: Kato-
Tsunade disappears and Madara is confused for a moment.
Tsunade kicks Madara in the head from his right and sends him flying. Madara's head is nearly detached from his body from the kick. He is surrounded in Susa-no-o's armor.
Madara uses Susa-no-o to create a huge fireball made of Amaterasu's flames.
Madara makes his Susa-no-o throw it at her at full speed.
Tsunade: It's too fast...!!
The fireball apparently hits where Tsunade was and creates a huge round hole in the earth from it's attack.
Madara: (Bullseye...)
Madara looks at the hole and it starts to shake...
Madara: ...!!
The Amaterasu flame is sent back flying towards Madara at the same speed that he sent it!!
Madara: How can she...!?
Madara doesn't quite avoid it and his right arm and some of his torso was cleanly burned away from the circular ball of flames.
A humanoid figure is on top of Katsuyu as they climb out of the hole. It has no skin or hair... Just a skeleton with muscle tissue and organs. Madara is looking down at it whilst regenerating.
Madara: (...! She actually grabbed a hold of it and then threw it back, and used the creature's slime as a sort of glove to rip her burning skin off knowing that she could regenerate later... Pretty clever...)
Tsunade makes a hand seal.
Tsunade: Sōzō Saisei...!
Tsunade's skin and hair returns... She is naked, but we only see her face as she stares at Madara.
Tsunade's outfit produces from Katsuyu's body.
Katsuyu: Here you go Tsunade-sama
Tsunade puts her clothes on.
Tsunade: That was a close one...
Onooki: (In all of my years I've never seen such frightening determination...!! Is this truly the will of fire of Konoha...?!)
Madara: ... I'm very impressed by your moves... However, this fight is over...
A huge snake appears under Madara.
Madara: This isn't Manda...
Kabuto: It is... basically... Don't worry about the particulars... This Manda will certainly impress you...
Tsunade: ...
Itachi and Sasuke...
Sasuke: Edo Tensei...??
Itachi: ... See you later, Sasuke...
Sasuke: Wait... I have one more question... I will continue to follow you until you answer it...
... I need to know what happened that day...
Itachi finally stops and looks at Sasuke...
Itachi: ...
Why would you want to know that...?
Sasuke: ... Because I need to confirm something...
Itachi: ...
Alright, but I advise that you seek only comfort and wisdom from this...
... And I will rush, for time's sake...
Itachi activates his mangekyou sharingan and looks at Sasuke
Itachi tells the truth of what happened on the day of the Uchiha massacre!!
Itachi, I love the truth.
itachi is the most caring older brother. since sasuke didn't understand what was going on when he was younger he didn't kill him, even when he was ordered to take out every uchiha
chapter was insightfull but storm generation start (madara vs hashirama) was even better.

true... he gave up everything so that sasuke could live a normal life ..

Ahh hell, you had to ruin it didn't you!?!? This prediction sucks.
This chapter proves that dialogue can make interesting chapter,s too.
Interesting Chapter.... I'm glad Itachi and Sasuke managed to talk, but I am also glad that Itachi not trying to bother with him as much, it makes a change. Naruto preaches on about "save sasuke" all the time it does get annoying, but Itachi doesn't want to speak, plus he admits that his plan failed him and all it did was turn him into a criminal.
I predict that we will see a battle between Tsunade and Madara
sasuke is actually a good boy. he will not harm konoha people after this chapter!

ALBANY, N.Y. -- It's been two days since the New York SAFE Act passed - and for many it's a muddled mess.
Gun owners and shops are uncertain exactly where they stand, fearing they could be breaking the law.
One gun shop owner NEWS10 spoke with said to fully understand the new law, he'd have to sit down with someone for hours - maybe days to go through it to find out what he can and cannot do.
So today we asked for some of his questions and did our best to get the answers.
"Customers are coming in, asking a million questions very frustrated, they don't know the answers to questions. I don't know the answers to some of the questions," said Kevin Zacharewicz, owner of Zack's Sports in Round Lake
All are wondering if they're breaking a law they consider murky and rushed, mixed with a lack of foresight.
Zacharewicz says he's been advised by one member of law enforcement to play it safe.
"Do not sell things that you think that you think could be banned because you might be making a misstep and you might not be in business next year," said Zacharewicz.
He says suppliers aren't shipping anything into the state because of the confusion, and stores now have guns they can no longer legally sell - so what do they do with them?
Not finding the answers they need, shop owners say they're in "crisis mode."
When NEWS10 reached out to the New York State Police for clarification - we were redirected to their website with information on what needs to be registered, a memorandum in support, and a link to the language of the legislation.
The station also received a statement saying "the New York State Police are working diligently with the governor's office to implement the new provisions of the NY SAFE Act."
NEWS10 also reached out to senators Jeff Klein and Malcolm Smith who sponsored the bill - as well as the governor and attorney general's offices - to try and get answers.
They did not get back to us by air time.

Rizzle Kicks hope concert will explain issues to a younger generation
Jordan "Rizzle" Stephens, one half of the Rizzle Kicks, said the concert would help explain Stephen Lawrence's murder and the events surrounding it to a younger generation like them who were not born or were very young when he died.
He said he hoped it would help challenge negative mindsets both in the black community and the wider public.
"What I love especially about this charity and trust is the whole idea of being able to achieve something that you wouldn't ordinarily think you could do," he said.
He added: "A lot of statistics are made based on the fact that some youths are convinced they can't do something they are very capable of doing."
He also spoke of an incident when he was on a school visit to Chichester, where a woman had assumed because he spoke eloquently that he went to a private school, and was surprised to find he went to a state school in London.
"It upset me that a woman would question intelligence base on my skin colour," he said.
"It would make me more happy than anything for there to be no question about whether race correlated with intelligence, drive or motivation.
"Stephen was an example and the idea is to build as many of those examples as possible for those judgmental idiots."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Vincent Jackson - #83 - WR
|6' 5"/ 230 lbs.
|Colorado Springs, CO
|Northern Colorado
|Years played
|2005, 2nd round, 29th pick by Chargers
Jaguars will pursue top WR
Jaguars GM Gene Smith is expected to go after whomever he considers the best available wide receiver in free agency (Vincent Jackson?), according to our AFC Whispers.
Major questions for Chargers' receivers
There is a lot of uncertainty when it comes to the Chargers' receivers, as free agents may depart and some key players are injury concerns.
Chargers-Bears matchup of the day: Friday
After showing off his skills against Lions WR Calvin Johnson in Week 10, Charles Tillman will get another chance to cover one of the league's top receivers on Sunday.
Packers-Chargers matchup of the day: Tuesday
PFW executive editor and resident Packers expert Dan Arkush presents the first of five key matchups this week in the Packers' Week Nine game this Sunday against the Chargers.
Gates returns to Chargers' practice
Chargers TE Antonio Gates returned to practice on Monday and is hopeful to play in Week Seven vs. the Jets.
Chargers WR Jackson might be franchised again
Chargers WR Vincent Jackson has never hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent, and that might continue into the 2012 offseason.
Chargers' Jackson, Dolphins' Soliai don't get long-term deals
Chargers WR Vincent Jackson and Dolphins NT Paul Soliai both will play the 2011 season under the terms of their one-year franchise tags.
Respondents to poll believe Rivers-Jackson will be top QB-WR duo in 2011
Chargers QB Philip Rivers and WR Vincent Jackson finished atop a PFW web poll asking, "Which QB-WR duo will outperform all others this season?"
Chargers announce signings
The Chargers announced their free-agent signings on Friday night, including RB Mike Tolbert.
Chargers Jackson will sign franchise tag, report to camp
Chargers WR Vincent Jackson will be in attendance when the team reports to camp on July 27, ending speculation that he would hold out for a long-term contract for the second consecutive summer.
Report: Jackson withdraws request for compensation
It appears one of the biggest hurdles left for the NFLPA is gone, as Chargers WR Vincent Jackson has agreed to withdraw his claim for compensation.
Report: Player reps meeting through weekend
Player reps reportedly sent an email saying they will meet on Monday, but NFLPA spokesman George Atallah said he does not know about the email.
Expect 2011 to be Jackson's last as a Charger
Frustrated with not being able to work out a long-term contract, Chargers WR Vincent Jackson is finally going to get his chance to hit the open market — in 2012.
Compensation for Mankins, Jackson remains a hurdle
NFL Network reported Thursday morning that compensation requests from Vincent Jackson and Logan Mankins remain an obstacle to a new labor agreement.
Report: Mankins and Jackson ask for free agency or money
Patriots OG Logan Mankins and Chargers WR Vincent Jackson, two of the plaintiffs in the "Tom Brady vs. NFL" antitrust lawsuit, have asked for special deals as part of the suit's settlement.
Jackson has been added to the NFC Pro Bowl, replacing Detroit's Calvin Johnson, who broke the NFL's single- season record for reception yards in 2012.||||||| Jackson led the Bucs with career bests of 72 receptions and 1,384 yards after signing with them as a free agent last winter, helping numerous fantasy owners to tremendous showings in their leagues along the way.
Jackson caught seven passes for 108 yards during Sunday's 28-13 loss to St. Louis.||||||| Jackson turned in his fifth 100-yard effort although he couldn't find the end zone. The ninth-year pro leads the Bucs with 69 receptions for 1,334 yards and eight touchdowns and has been everything the team envisioned they were getting when he signed a five-year, $55.55 million contract as a free agent after spending eight years with the San Diego Chargers.
Jackson caught six passes for 81 yards but was held out of the end zone on Sunday against New Orleans.||||||| Jackson has declined somewhat as a scoring threat as the season has progressed. He caught five touchdown passes in Tampa Bay's first six games but has scored only three times in eight games since.
Jackson hauled in six receptions for 131 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-21 loss to Philadelphia.||||||| With 1,145 receiving yards, Jackson is 23 away from setting a new career high. His receiving TDs are tied for seventh in the league.
Jackson had six catches for 94 yards and a touch in Sunday's win over Carolina.||||||| V-Jax has sisx TDs in his last seven games.

George Jones Is Back In The Hospital, More Shows Postponed
The illness that has been dogging country legend George Jones for the past several weeks apparently is not going away. According to a statement on Jones's website, the 80-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer was admitted back into a Nashville hospital yesterday to "undergo testing and evaluation for a lingering upper respiratory infection."
The news was also noted on Jones's Twitter feed.
GEORGE JONES ADMITTED INTO NASHVILLE HOSPITAL: (May 21, 2012) – Today, Country Music Hall of Fame member George … bit.ly/LeIwbF—
George Jones (@gjpossum) May 21, 2012
Jones previously had to cancel shows in Minnesota and South Dakota due to the longer-than-expected recovery from his infection, for which he was first hospitalized back in March. He was planning to resume touring this week with a date at Loretta Lynn's Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, but that and other dates in the coming weeks will also need to be rescheduled.
A major force in country music for six decades and counting, Jones is known for such enduring classics as "He Stopped Loving Her Today," "White Lightning," "The Window Up Above," and "The Grand Tour."

Not Being Angry Ever
I'm writing about this because we sidetracked a post in the forums and I thought it was interesting to warrant a full article. It's not so much that I want to ram my opinion down the throats of those who disagree with me (I do), but that I feel like my position is misunderstood and I probably didn't do a great job of explaining it.
I don't ever get angry. That doesn't mean that bad things don't happen to me (they do), but most people I know will tell you that they've never seen me angry.
The common misperception is that I don't deal with anger and I stuff it down somewhere. The theory continues that eventually I won't be able to contain it and I will unleash my rage. Or that I'll suddenly become depressed.
People suggest that I "deal with my anger", which is the common "healthy" way to do things.
So first - my position on it. There is NEVER any reason to be angry. You can't feel anger unless you also feel helpless. If someone wrongs you, but you have a solution to the situation, you wouldn't feel angry, right? You'd feel motivated, if anything. Possibly a bit frustrated because you now have more work to do. Anger is a weak emotion.
Someone please try to give me an example that doesn't fit that description. I tried really hard to think of one, but couldn't.
When someone wrongs you, which is the classic instigator of anger, you have two choices : accept it or react to it.
Someone knocked over your sand castle? Either accept it and do something else, or build a better sand castle.
What about something where you have no recourse? You did a good job on a paper in class but your teacher is an asshole and he gave you a bad grade anyway. I'd argue that you DO have a reaction here (drop out of school, take it up with the teacher or his superior, etc.), but most people wouldn't do those things.
In this case, just accept it. Getting angry NEVER ever fixes anything. . Think about that - why would you want an emotion that NEVER helps? It's like jealousy. Being jealous never helps. People have no problem saying "don't be jealous", but they get angry (haha....) when I say not to get angry.
Accept that some things that happen to you will not be optimal. That's how it is for everyone, so just accept yours. Anything else is just petty and selfish.
To wrap this up - the point isn't to suppress your anger, it's to deal with things in a LOGICAL way and realize that anger isn't a valid or helpful emotion. I'm not saying that this is always easy, but it can be accomplished. Instead of thinking of it as "not dealing" with anger, think of it as "dealing extremely quickly" with anger.
So this all sounds great, you might think, but how do you do it? If someone trips you today you're going to be angry, right? You do it the same way you do anything - PRACTICE.
When you get angry, think "Am I going to do something about this?". If you are, think of what you're going to do and do it (or schedule it if you can't do it immediately). How can you feel angry after that? You've found the solution to your problem!
If you're not going to do something about it, then say outloud or in your head, "Bad things happen to people. This is one of those things and the best thing I can do is move on." Maybe that sounds stupid, but when you logically agree that there's no reason to be angry, you'll find that you get over things extremely quickly. Think about why you're being angry and you'll usually be able to trace it back to a fault of your own, most likely something like, "I know the solution to this problem but I don't want to do it."
Enjoy. Magnus, back me up!

You know, we haven't had a mass shooting in nearly 18 hours, so there's no better time for someone to come out and say that guns are harmless and that video games are society's real culprit. Fortunately Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander stepped up to the plate on MSNBC's The Daily Rundown. Here's what he said (via The Escapist):
"I think videogames [sic] is a bigger problem than guns, because videogames affect people," he said. "But the First Amendment limits what we can do about videogames and the Second Amendment to the Constitution limits what we can do about guns."
I won't be too harsh on Sen. Alexander, because he was asked his opinion and he responded in a straightforward, respectful way. (Unlike, say, that guy from the NRA.) Bottom line, he's wrong. I've said it before but I'll say it again. I logged 1800 hours playing Street Fighter as a kid and I've never once taken out a co-worker with a sonic boom. Meanwhile gun-wielding maniacs are killing people left and right. Notice how the critics of video games are always old guys who grew up in a time when people were dying of dysentery. Not in Oregon Trail, in real life. They don't think kids can handle a violent video game because they've never experienced it themselves. I, on the other hand, grew up playing video games and shooting .22s, so I realize that neither guns nor games can corrupt a person who is of sound mental health. The one difference between guns and video games is that when I fire a video game into your head, it kinda stings for a minute. If only older folks could understand this, I think they'd change their attitudes. That's why I've started Hadoukens Not Guns, a non-profit focused on raising awareness about how violent video games are actually a lot of fun. We encourage at-risk youth to achieve a victory over their opponents on the screen, not in the streets. In fact we're holding our first national conference later this month. It will be held in my parents' basement, and Jean-Claude Van Damme will be the keynote speaker. The price of admission is a bag of Doritos and a Pepsi. And of course everyone gets a plus-1. Although, no one ever seems to use it.

Special to TH
Washington Times-Herald
Looking for an eBook to download and read? The library can help you with that.
Don't have an eReader or compatible device of your own? The library can help you with that now, too.
Last October, the Washington Carnegie Public Library received a grant from the Daviess County Community Foundation to increase the titles in its eBook collection and to purchase eReaders to loan to library cardholders, as part of a library's digital book program.
"May 2012 will mark our first complete year lending eBooks as part of the Indiana Digital Download Center powered by OverDrive. When registered last May, the consortium consisted of 23 public libraries and now there are 36 public libraries strong," said library Director Teresa Heidenreich.
What this means to the public is that 36 libraries share a catalog of over 8,000 eBook selections and that number is continually rising.
The four readers totaled $600 and were paid for with grant money. The library staff discussed which eReaders to purchase and decided upon the Nook Simple Touch and the Nook Color, both products of Barnes & Noble.
"We chose the Nook because they are dependable products and offer easy functionality. Barnes & Noble offers face-to-face customer support at any of their locations and this was a huge selling factor to us. In addition, the Evansville store has been kind in traveling to Washington to present free eReader demonstrations to the public," said Rick Chambon, programming manager.
Other well-known models on the market include the Kindle by Amazon and the Sony Reader.
When patrons check out a Nook, they are also given the device's power cord and a carrying bag. If the Nook is lost or damaged, or if the power cord is missing, the patron will have to pay a fine up to and including the current replacement cost. Users are also forbidden from trying to download other content onto the devices.
The use is restricted to WCPL cardholders aged 18 and up who have held a library card for at least 3 months and have an account in good standing.
The Nook may be loaned out for a 14-day period with no renewals, and the overdue fine is $5 per day. Patrons will select three titles from the eBook catalog and a staff member will download the selections onto the device.
In 2010, Library Journal and School Library Journal conducted a survey about eBook use among public and school libraries in the United States. Of the 781 libraries that were surveyed, about 72 percent of them offered downloadable eBooks to patrons.
A small number of those libraries, 5 percent, also offered pre-loaded eBook readers for checkout. Ebook use makes up a fairly small percentage of WCPL's total circulation, although the number check outs have increased 150 percent since December 2011.
The program's success will also determine whether the library will look into buying additional eReaders, either Nooks or other models.
"We look forward to continuing our progressive outlook in providing the materials and services desired by the library patrons in our community and we want to thank the community foundation for their support of our efforts," said Heidenreich.

News: SOHH's Top Hip-Hop Break-Ups
Monday, Feb 14, 2011 12:15AM
While most people are hugging and kissing this Valentine's Day, we at SOHH are wiping our eyes as we reminisce over the craziest and most puzzling hip-hop group splits from the past 20 years.
1. Terror Squad
Fat Joe and Big Pun were the name-brand attraction to Terror Squad, which also included fellow Bronx rappers Cuban Link, Armageddon, Prospect, and Triple Seis, along with singer Tony Sunshine. Terror Squad experienced a huge setback with the sudden passing away of Big Pun in February 2000. This essentially brought the group to an end, and while everyone else fell into obscurity, Fat Joe focused on his increasingly successful solo career. (All Music)
Terror Era? Not quite. It didn't take long after the passing of Big Pun in 2000 before we saw the demise of the all-mighty Bronx crew. After Pun, Cuban Link would follow suit and even after the crew's reemergence circa 2003, with Remy Ma as a frontrunner, poor records sales forced out members like Triple Seis, Armageddon and more.
2. Ruff Ryders
"I was just with Sheek [Louch] last night," Drag-On told SOHH in 2010. "We were on the radio, just promoting our projects that we got coming out. Everybody's still cool, you know what I'm saying? It never was no beef, you know what I'm saying? We just all had a lot of things on our plate and we just have to fulfill those needs right now. But other than that, everything else is still kosher. X is always gonna be like my big brother in this game, like, so X was the one that really showed us off. So he's always gonna be my big brother in the game." (SOHH)
Drag-On told SOHH there wasn't any beef and we believe him. However, with DMX being more present on the jail block rather than sales charts, Eve's quest to dissociate herself from her ruff past, The LOX's publishing battles with Diddy and so on, its evident that these dogs have surpassed their last day as a collaborative crew.
3. Roc-A-Fella
Jay decided to sever business ties with his fellow founders; their stake in the company was sold back to Island Def Jam for a reported $10 million, while controlling interests in the remaining clothing, film, and alcohol ventures were sliced up. Jay signed a three-year contract to become president and CEO of Def Jam--a position he would leave in 2008 for Live Nation. He offered the rights to the name "Roc-a-Fella" to Dash and Biggs in exchange for the recording masters to Reasonable Doubt, but the pair wouldn't make the deal. "We all earned those masters," Dash says.This turn of events remains bewildering. "The people that I was helping, once they realized their dreams, they did what a criminal would do," Dash continues. "They stabbed you in the back. Think about the frustration of building a brand for years that should be taking care of your family, and then the person that was the closest to you saying, 'Nah, you can't have no parts of it,' and flushing it." (Village Voice)
Remember the old Roc? We're talking about Kanye West, Beanie Sigel, Amil, Memphis Bleek, State Property, Freeway, Peedi Crakk, Young Gunz, -this was the clique everyone wanted to be down with, and every aspiring rapper wanted to be signed to. However, numerous freestyles and interview bashing has revealed that what glitters isn't always gold, and despite its perceived strength, a diamond can indeed be split.
"You know, I had went to New York, back and forth with N.W.A, and ended up being real cool with [then-Def Jam executives] Russell [Simmons] and Lyor [Cohen]," Ice Cube explained in an interview. "And they would have me come down to Rush [Management Offices] and I would f*ck with some of the biggest names in hip-hop at the time. EPMD came through; you'd see everybody walking through. From a person who was a hip-hop fan and then became entrenched in hip-hop as an artist it was cool to do. So when I went solo, I was like I wanted Dr. Dre to do AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, but Jerry Heller vetoed that. So since he vetoed that sh*t--and I'm pretty sure Eazy didn't want Dre to do it. But Dre did want to do it; we gotta put that on record. Dre wanted to do my record, but it was just too crazy with the break-up of [N.W.A]. The break-up snowballed into some sh*t. I was talking to Lyor because I wanted Sam Sever [to produce my album]. Sam Sever did all the 3rd Bass sh*t and their beats were the sh*t at the time." (XXL Mag)
You simply can't take away what N.W.A. brought to the rap game. Just think about it in today's context. Dr. Dre, Eazy-E and Ice Cube all in the same group is comparable to the Miami Heat with LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. Once Cube left the group and after a few disses slung at one another, N.W.A. quickly crumbled, but not without leaving an imprint on "gangster rap."
5. Little Brother
"I was just thinking about our own situation and then I realized, when groups leave, it's just like when a person dies. Every person dies and a baby is born. So, as Little Brother calls it quits, there are other groups to not necessarily take our place but to keep the tradition going...That's what it's all about -- you don't want your favorite group to force a relationship. Like, you don't want Tribe Called Quest...If they don't really want to be together, you want them to make another album. If they make an album just because you asked for it, it's not going to be the same Tribe Called Quest you fell in love with. It's going to be something forced." (Hip Hop DX)
9th Wonder, Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh put North Carolina on the map with four studio albums and six mixtapes under their belts, and even Lil Wayne had get on a track with them. Each member has gone on to release separate projects, but after hearing news of Phonte and 9th's personal reunion broke in January, we've got our fingers crossed for the trio to getback in the booth.
6. G-Unit
"I think in that situation, everybody lost," Game said about his 2005 break-up with G-Unit. "I think when we were the mighty mighty G-Unit, we were strong and like the modern day N.W.A. and I think everybody suffered from the break. First and foremost, Yayo and Banks, and then Buck and then myself and 50. He's not comfortable in hip-hop right now, I'm still here but it's not what it was at its peak. Everybody is just maintaining what they have and even Dre and Em, the whole outfit. I think we would have been hundreds and millions of albums sold right now had we [stayed together.] But we didn't and I don't like to look back and regret, I just like to look and reflect, analyze the situation -- and now it's time to move on." ("Jenny Boom Boom")
What began as a three-member Queens team, 50 Cent, Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks quickly blossomed into an all-star crew after drafting rappers like California's Game and Tennessee's Young Buck to would-be benchwarmers R&B singer Olivia, rap veterans M.O.P and Mobb Deep and even rapper-turned-pastor-turned-rapper Mase! Erase the Game, drop Olivia, etch and sketch out Mobb Deep & M.O.P., watch Mase disappear...again, and in 2011, we're left with the starting three.
The duo split in January 1993, under controversial circumstances. According to interviews in The Source and Rap Pages, in late 1991, Parrish Smith's house was burglarized by armed intruders. According to Smith, in the ensuing police investigation, one of the apprehended culprits supposedly gave up Sermon's name as having allegedly paid them to do it. Erick Sermon was arrested and briefly detained for questioning, but no charges were filed. Still, it led to lingering tensions, and by the time of the break-up, Sermon alleged financial impropriety on Smith's part. The duo found itself as solo artists by default. (Wikipedia)
Break-up to make-up is more like it. EPMD represented authentic hip-hop thoughout the late 1980's and into the 1990's. The way they broke up and later came back is beyond comprehension, especially when there is a conspiracy suggesting your own group member stood you up. Literally.
8. Dipset
"Shout-out to my n*gga Cam," Diplomat Hell Rell said in an on-street interview. "At the end of the day, after he closed the books, I pretty much went with my group which is Top Gunnas. Because we all know that Jim f*cked the [Dip]set up. He just f*cked the whole 'set up. Denying the phone call, Cam called him, said he didn't call him. He jumped on [Funkmaster] Flex and said he did call him. A whole bunch of bullsh*t like, f*cking up money man. That sh*t just had me mad man. I'm like come on man, you serious? Then he go out on Summer Jam, him and [Juelz] Santana, I love the movement, you know I love the 'set, but they just tarnishing the name. They just f*cking this sh*t up. You know what I mean, everything that we built. That auto-tune sh*t ain't us...Never was Dipset music, so all that other sh*t it's just getting out of hand man. Ruger just gotta whip it back into shape man." (Hip Hop Beef)
We're still confused as to whether Dipset is still fully reunited. After Jim Jones and Juelz Santana demonstrated disinterest with respecting Cam'ron's image amidst his public war with 50 Cent in 2007, it makes you wonder if the wounds have completely healed.
9. Bad Boy
"I think the only person, man, that came away and walked off with a little bit of money is Ma$e and that's praise God for the church, because you know on Sundays, when they be taking that offer, that's good money. So we can't say he's not doing nothing. As far as any other artists, if you can tell me another Bad Boy artist that's doing good, I'll listen to you, other than that, I can't waste my time trying to think 'cause I don't think there's one that exists." (Daily Motion)
After The Notorious B.I.G. died, the whole Bad Boy Records roster began leaving Combs lonelier than Jennifer Lopez did in 2002. A few of Diddy's artists traded in their rhyme books for holy books: Mase found Christianity, Loon found Islam, even Shyne began studying Judaism during his incarceration. The LOX publicly fought a publishing issue with Diddy that remained unresolved for nearly a decade, and even Black Rob has resorted to blasting Puff Daddy. But all of that is nothing compared to ex-Bad Boy ghostwriter/rapper Mark Curry, who released a Sean Combs expose in 2009. Take that, take that, take that.
10. A Tribe Called Quest
Prior to the unveiling of The Love Movement, the group announced that it would be their last album together. Fans were surprised, as the breakdown had been kept discreet. In an interview with The Source, the group cited their frustration with Jive Zomba as a significant factor in the breakup. (Wikipedia)
This crew keep teasing us, "just like Tisha did Martin"; they keep breaking up, briefly re-uniting, and then jumping ship again. We've enjoyed their jazzy cuts ever since their 1990 debut, and Queens emcees definitely have earned their spot as one of the greatest acts in hip-hop. Hopefully, at some point, Phife and Q-Tip will come back together to maraud our ears once more.
Honorable Mention: Fat Boys
The band was included on the Fresh Fest tours of the mid-80s, along with stars such as LL Cool J, Run-D.M.C., Whodini, and later, Public Enemy. This gave them legitimacy. They also starred in "Krush Groove," a film loosely based on the early days at Def Jam. Their big commercial success came later in 1987, with the LP "Crushin'." Three years later, the Fat Boys broke up, and Buffy died in 1995 due to his steadily degenerating health. Ironically his weight, which was part of his public persona and helped fuel his career as a rap star, ultimately killed him. Many of the group's old school peers continue to receive recognition. The Fat Boys' role in the early years of rap is downplayed, however, perhaps because of their humorous edge that made them a novelty. (Suite 101)
"First the Fat Boys break-up, now every day I wake up...." Remember that Jay-Z lyric from "Heart of The City"? Prince Markie Dee, Kool Rock-Ski and Buff Love the Human Beatbox made up the larger-than-life trio whose humorous lyrics were a delight to recite during hip-hop's Golden Era. The Fat Boys also broke ground as one of the first rap groups to be featured in a film. The Fat Boys get an honorable mention because sadly, they are the only group on this list who will actually never reunite in full, due to Buff Love's death in 1995.
Which of these break-ups were the most significant in hip-hop? Speak on it below.

On Basket Weaving
Tim Ingold, in an essay "On Weaving a Basket" suggests that all making be thought of as a kind of weaving. He bases this on observing the way that basket-weaving proceeds very differently to something like making a clay pot. Making a clay pot apparently involves the application of form to a material matrix. The clay is at first shapeless, and more-or-less homogenous. The potter then shapes the clay, as if applying a pattern. The concepts of form and matter that derive from this model of making were particularly influential amongst ancient Greek philosophers, for whom sculpture was the archetypal art. We inherit these concepts of form and matter from this quite specific idea of a specific kind of making.
Ingold, however, asks us to pay attention to a different kind of making. Baskets are made of long flexible sticks, and are far less easy to shape. The weaver begins with a spiral, or a number of interlocking spirals, and the basket slowly develops in her hands. The idea of a form applied doesn't fit well with this scenario, and Ingold suggests that what it resembles more than anything else is something growing. At any point in the basket's production, the weaver doesn't have anything like a free hand. The next move is not completely predetermined, but it's highly constrained—by the nature of the material, and the structural necessity of the over-under movement. With skill, the shape of the basket can be manouevred through adjusting the tension of the strands, and by inserting or ending strands. The basket arrives as a highly formed object—there is no question of the basket having made itself, or happening accidentally—but the role of the basket-weaver is not that of the ancient Greek sculptor.
Ingold claims that to understand making properly, we need to dispense with the picture of making as form-application, and see making in general as having the character of weaving: as a process that unfolds, in which all the previous states of the thing being made exert constraints and pressures on it's current and future states. The maker's action is managing an unfolding growth, rather than reifying a pre-existing idea of form.

On Frascari's Gut-Reactions
Frascari's first exercise is to draw "a sequence of building details" using only "liquids, pastes, juices of powders that you normally eat, drink or use to spice and flavor your food" and various nibs and brushes. The objective is to cast specific attention onto the materiality of drawing.
Drawing, he believes, isn't abstract or disembodied—it's essential to recognise the various textures, smells, pressures, smudges, weights, consistencies and movements involved. This is deliberately at odds with the idea that drawing is a simple representation, a transparent code that describes something that exists or is intended to exist somewhere else. In the case of a set of construction documents, all parties agree that the lines and markings will be read as narrowly as possible, according to a set of prescriptive codes. In this case, lots of things are ignored about the drawing. The contractor's set may become stained, torn, annotated, or photocopied, but this isn't important, so long as it doesn't interfere with the transmission of the required coded information. But the kind of drawing Frascari is advocating isn't really about clean information-transmission over a pre-formatted channel. The drawing is a place where codes can be treated malleably and content not simply carried but devised. In fact, the distinction between the format and the content isn't always clear.
By drawing with food, the embodiment of the drawer and the drawing are foregrounded. The marks and lines on the paper carry fragrant and gustatory cues. Attention is drawn to the material qualities of the drawing, and the gut-reactions of the drawer. Frascari's strategy for escaping the reduction of drawing to information-transmission is to engage the body and it's tacit knowledge. It's precisely the point that drawing with wine, paprika and egg-white is unnecessary for effective drawn communication—the exercise invites drawing to be something other than merely semiotic.
Frascari's critique of digital image-making
Frascari's most explicit critique of digital drawing tools so far as I've read is that they have a "seductive 'coolness'", a fascination often picked up before architecture school. This seduction is, for some, a response to the "striking otherwordliness" of renderings; for others a belief that digital tools expedite and economise on the design process; and
"above all… the belief that digital imagery grants instant legitimacy to architectural proposals through a superficial appearance of completeness without considering that this pseudo-completeness hides a loss of rigour".
This legitimising effect is tied to the apparent realism of digital images. It's quite true that, as Frascari writes, we have become acculturated to the veracity of the rendered image:
"photo-realistic representations of future buildings are considered the media of choice that allow architects and clients to make informed decisions. The computer screens that show visualisations of architecture in three dimensions have become powerful 'crystal balls' or 'magic mirrors' capable of showing 'truthful views' of the future".
While I completely agree that this is the case, and that it's problematic for good architectural production, I see it as necessitating more intelligent and critical use of digital tools, not as making digital tools innately less useful for the imaginative, "cosmopoetic" tasks Frascari envisages.
Eleven Exercises in Architectural Drawing
I've just received Marco Frascari's recent Eleven Exercises in the Art of Architectural Drawing (2011). Frascari's an interesting writer: opinionated, idiosyncratic and unconventional. His essay "The Tell-the-Tale Detail" (1984) is an essential read, and his Monsters of Architecture (1991) is a cogently weird expansion on it. Eleven Exercises isn't a drawing manual; it's "not about right or wrong simulations and dissimulations in architectural drawings, but rather about a discerning process that takes part in the interplay generated by our sensorial assimilation." In other words, drawing in his book isn't a matter of correct or effective representation, but a cognitive process. This approach is appealing to me because it recognises cognition as a materialised process. It isn't your mind that thinks, it's your brain—mind is an abstraction. Nor is thinking exclusively done with brains. I store my upcoming appointments in a calendar, and commit my research ideas to paper because my brain alone isn't very good at detailed long-term memory. And when I draw, I'm not just documenting ideas that I've already had in my brain, I'm inventing new ideas. Drawing is cognition not just documentation.
Questions are raised for me, though, when Frascari appears (at least in this early part of the book) to be setting up a distinction between trivial and non-trivial, imaginative and unimaginative, poetic and prosaic drawings. I encountered Frascari's skepticism of CAD when he spoke in person at an Interstices symposium in 2011. He's of the school that sees digital drawing as inherently less soulful and imaginative than hand drawing, leaning heavily towards the prosaic, and unimaginative. In Eleven Exercises he claims "it is uncomplicated to develop computer-processing systems that can straightforwardly substitute the work of engineers, lawyers, and physicians, but it is an impossible Sisyphean task to develop systems that can replace draftspersons, cooks, rôtisseurs, gardeners, and architects." Where the former set "base their profession on a sequence of logical protocols" the latter "practice imagination". I think this claim is just snooty and wrong, and I'd like to see him make the claim to a mob of engineers, lawyers and physicians. I'm concerned that while he's taking a radical line on the materialisation of cognition, he's still got some deeply traditional subterranean prejudices at work.
On the Ultra-Cheap
The material environment of the suburbs around the Mangere Inlet is saturated with ultra-cheap imported goods: Stainless steel kitchen equipment from Delhi, fabric from Malaysia, toys, mp3 players, plastic mats from China—all arrive by the container-load. This class of artefact is beyond the merely cheap—it is easily manufactured, using the cheapest possible materials, in factories that spend no extra money on controlling pollution or accessing cleaner energy sources, by workers pais as little as the global labour market will allow, shipped at minimum cost on huge ships, piggybacking on solid existing shipping routes. A child's vinyl schoolbag, branded with copyright-infringing logos and images from a Nickelodeon cartoon, hangs outside a shop for ten dollars; a similar bag, slightly more durable perhaps, with official branding, might sell for three times as much, even at the Warehouse (a well-known cut-price retailer in the mass-market. There's no way local manufacture can equal these prices—the additional costs of labour, regulation of environmental effects, taxes, and the need to import materials far outweighing the cheaper costs of transport.
What is the role and effect of this material on human environments? The economy having been deliberately balanced to serve consumers by keeping the exchange-rate high, import has been privileged over export. This has the effect of driving consumption, not simply serving it (demand can be induced; it isn't simply an abstract force that needs to be served). It would be accurate to talk about an addiction to cheap imports. But they're not an unmitigated evil: they're also valuable and worthwhile business, particularly for immigrants who may already have connections to overseas manufacturers and insight into the needs of local immigrant communities. In addition, they serve the needs of the poorest end of the market.
This material deserves attention as one of the substances of contemporary urban life. How does it circulate, condense and disperse? What linkages does it cement? What is it's agency in the urban, human, and environment assemblages that constitute the city?

Bryant on the Surface of the World
Levi Bryant, asking what the world must be like in order for our practices to be intelligible:
"it is difficult to see how language could ever have the power to divide or parcel in the way suggested by the linguistic idealists were it not for the fact that the world itself is structured and differentiated. Absent a world that is structured and differentiated, the surface of the world, as a sort of formless flux, would be too slippery, too smooth, for the signifier to structure at all."
Terrapol, Recent Drawings

Preston Scott Cohen, Rectilinear Spiriculate (1998)
Preston Scott Cohen's 'Recilinear Spiriculate' (1998; in Cohen 2001: 99) is a pencil drawing showing a sequence of perspectival transformations of a blocky object. It comes from a series of formal experiments Cohen entitles 'Sterotomic Permutations', in which a hybrid projective / perspectival drawing technique is used to generate a group of house concepts. The drawing is an open-ended trace of a process. It doesn't simply represent a three-dimensional object in two dimensions: there is no original object, nor a final one (although, of course, one was drawn first and one last). The drawing produces rather than represents. We witness the operation of a drawing machine. In this sense, the drawing is a calculation rather than a representation. Cohen sees architecture as the resolution of predicaments, to the extent that he argues predicaments should be actively sought out by the designer, and even introduced if necessary:
An architecture that is compelled to distort, and that ultimately highlights and questions norms, requires the invention of surrogate problems… Architecture could create problems, vigorously attempt to solve them, and never be able to. Architecture would thus keep itself alive by remaining an unfulfilled promise. (Cohen, 2001: 13)
Architecture should be a form of calculation, writes Cohen—but this doesn't mean simply optimising, discovering a minimum or maximum condition. Rather, he intends that problems engender an open-ended instability, an oscillation or circulation.
'Rectilinear Spiriculate' oscillates between perspectival and stereotomic projection. There are two operations going on here. The Taylorian perspective apparatus employed includes a potential ambiguity about whether any anamorphosis is an effect of perspective or a property of the object itself; and Cohen exploits this further by using a procedure derived from Desargues for calculating the three-dimensional angles common in stone-cutting given only the standard figures of plan and elevation. The result of combining these two operations is that each projected figure is simultaneously the three-dimensional result of a calculation and a plane figure that can be re-inflated into three dimensions.
Symmetry is invariance under a transformation. The degree of symmetery is measured by the degree of invariance, or more precisely, the number of different transformations under which the object remains invariant. A cube, for example, remains unchanged by X, Y, and Z rotations of 90º, 180º, 270º, 360º, but is changed by other rotations; while a sphere can be rotated any number of degrees without varying. The sphere has a greater degree of symmetry. The transformations of 'Rectilinear Spiriculate' are symmetry-breaking. Lengths, angles, parallels, and ratios between lines are not preserved, although co-linearity is. In mathematical terms, this drawing is something between a projective and a differential space. De Landa writes:
Classifying geometrical objects by their degrees of symmetry represents a sharp departure from the traditional classification of geometrical figures by their essences… even though in this new approach we are still classifying entities by a property (their degree of symmetry), this property is never an intrinsic property of the entity being classified but always a property relative to a specific transformation (or group of transformations) (De Landa, 2002:17).
The object made present in 'Rectilinear Spiriculate' is tumbled, stretched and spun. It doesn't rest or settle into any stable configuration. It oscillates between two and three dimensions, cast back and forth across the picture plane. But through this circulation a degree of invariance is preserved, albeit a small one. This minimal definition describes not a single object, but a multiplicitous one that is always being recalculated.
Miralles on the complexity of the real
Enric Miralles:
In all my recent work, I think I have been utterly focused on being involved with reality, in other words, always in the midst of contradictions, the difficulties, the misunderstandings, there in the thick of it… When I am asked what sort of architecture interests me, I realize I finally have an answer: 'architecture that is capable of avoiding demagoguery'. In other words, architecture that is capable of not hiding the complex reality it starts from.

AUBURN, AL (WTVM) - Horticulture experts at Auburn University say both trees at Toomer's corner are now showing signs of poison.
Up until last week, the tree on Magnolia was looking really good. However, experts say the tree is now beginning to show signs of the herbicide.
They say one branch in particular has brown, small leaves.Meanwhile, the oak on College Street has been showing signs of poison since the leaves first started emerging. However, experts say there are sections of that oak that have normal, healthy leaves.
Experts say they are waiting to see how the trees will process the poison and if they will begin to drop their leaves.

When the CIF-Southern Section released its All-CIF teams earlier this week, there were two much deserving Foothill League players included on the Division I team, and a few names surprisingly missing.
If the nights he spent by his father's hospital bed were affecting him emotionally, Trinity Classical Academy junior Donny MacAdam did a pretty good job of hiding it.
The CIF-Southern Section released its spring All-CIF Southern Section teams today, with local athletes being honored across baseball, softball and boys volleyball.
There have been times that Casey Madsen has felt overwhelmed with responsibilities.
School may be out for the summer, but local athletes won't be taking much of a break.
One of the most successful seasons in Foothill League baseball history - with both West Ranch and Saugus reaching at least the quarterfinals of the CIF-Southern Section Division I playoffs, and the Wildcats making the semifinals - isn't quite over yet.
The last time Oklahoma junior catcher Jessica Shults represented her school in a championship game, she walked away without a title.
CLOVIS - When the boys triple jumpers stood on the podium at the CIF State Track and Field Championships, one of them stood above everyone else.
The number of Santa Clarita representatives heading to Omaha, Neb. from June 25 to July 2 for the 2012 Olympic Team Trials grew again this week.
The University of Oklahoma softball team is in familiar territory - back in the NCAA Division I Women's College World Series for the second straight year.
One day ahead of taking the field in the 2012 NCAA Division I Women's College World Series, Hart graduate Jessica Shults and Valencia graduate picked up All-American First Team honors.
A failure to execute in front of the net on the part of the visiting Bay Area Ambassadors kept host Santa Clarita Storm in front by a goal for most of the first half.
With Santa Clarita Christian School pitcher Ryan Fullarton and Dunn High pitcher Ryan Layton each at the top of their games on Friday afternoon, neither offense was going to complain about getting some extra help.
It took a lot for West Ranch softball to finally win its first Foothill League title.
Saugus softball wasn't necessarily supposed to be in this situation, leading by a run in the bottom of the seventh inning in the second round of the CIF-Southern Section Division I playoffs.

text: When Kamichan starts blogging about his passion, teenage boy bands from the Japanese talent agency Johnny's, little does he know that his blog would soon become one of the most popular in the fandom. And little do his predominantly teenage and young adult female readers know that Kamichan is not one of them. When they find out that he is actually a man in his 30s, the fandom is split into those who don't mind and those who strongly object to a middle aged man hunting on their grounds. In a smear campaign they try to discredit him as a potentially dangerous predator of teenage boys. But is he really? In a tale of fame and infamy Marcus Herzig recalls his exciting, adventurous, and sometimes scary journey into the Johnny's fandom with the same spirit, humour, and blunt honesty that earned him devoted fans and enemies alike as a blogger and fanboy. This 2nd revised edition contains an additional chapter not included in the 1st edition. Furthermore, in the chapter about Johnny Kitagawa's alleged sexual offences, the author recalls - for the first time in public - his own experiences as a victim of sexual molestation when he was 13.

FORT WORTH — The Fort Worth Fire Department is looking for the funds it needs to purchase a series of Ford F-550 "attack" rigs.
The city currently has one such truck stationed out of Fire Station No. 29.
On Tuesday, officials will request an additional $200,000 in funding to buy a second unit. In May, they are expected to request money for a third.
The smaller, more versatile units would let crews respond more quickly — especially in cases where a full engine truck isn't needed.
"For chest or breathing problems type calls etc., this can be highly efficient," said Capt. Homer Robertson.
In the past six months, since the F-550 arrived at Station No. 29, he said it has responded to more than 1,100 calls, while the major engine truck only had to be used around 250 times.
Not only does that save money on costly fuel, Robertson also said it can extend the life of the engine truck "by additional two to three years."
The larger units can cost up to $600,000.
