Poures a near pitch black but not for the ruby highlights when held up to the light with a big fluffy off white head that clings to the glass nicely,wow a real cascade presence in the aroma wich was entirely unexpected due to the fact well it is Rogue,a nice roastiness also shows itself nicely.Slick mouthfeel to this slides down with ease,interesting melding of flavors firmly nutty with some roasted malt as the core but there is very much a PW hop presence not so pronounced but it lets itself be known.Very interesting and flavorful ale I will be sure to grabe more.

Appearance This beer poured just about pure black. It has a nice, fluffy tanned head that showed decent retention.
Smell The dark, malty aroma was pleasing to the nose. I could pick up quite a bit of sweets here including some light brown sugar.
Taste The big, dark, roasty malts gave this a nice Dunkel flavor. I could also pick up some toasty bread dough.
Mouthfeel This medium-bodied ale is fiercely bitter on the tongue. It is quite the kick in the pants if you like bitter ales.
Drinkability I enjoyed this offering from Rogue. I dont know what kind of vegetable it was supposed to be, though. I saw it as a nice, low-ABV, very drinkable dark ale.

This beer was poured into a mug and was pretty attractive. Dark brown with some red highlights, a thick tan head. Not much aroma, just some sweet fruit. The taste was an improvement,with some dark fruit, hazlenut, and a little late hops. I enjoyed it, but it is a different beer.

Pours nearly black, root beer when held to light. nice enough light brown head.
Smells fresh. Almost a cucumber like quality, which is confusing given the color. Roasty malt presenting itself more as it warms.
Great light, earthy flavor. Soda water and a hint of bitterness on the finish. Very sessionable.
I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this beer.
All in all, an interesting brew that lends itself well to light food and cheese pairings. Great with fresh chevre and pain au levain or cream cheese and a bagel.

22 oz bomber purchased at Peabody's in Boone, NC, for $3.99. Pours a very dark chestnut brown, not quite opaque, with a large, creamy beige head that retains well. Lots of sticky patch lace all over the glass. Aroma is subdued, with roasty and grainy malts, a hint of cocoa powder, and a note of citrusy hops. Mouthfeel is well carbonated and light medium bodied. The flavor is unique, and difficult to describe. Earthy buckwheat nuttiness and some herbal tea notes. A hint of mild coffee, and a restrained hops bitterness. Finishes crisp and refreshing, with mild hops bitterness. Goes down smooth and easy, and is very drinkable. Very interesting!

22 oz bottle purchased at Marty's Fine Wine in Newton, Massachusetts.
One of the smoothest beers I've ever tasted. Toasted malts and chocolate slide down your throat on a bed of velvety smooth goodness.
As much as I enjoyed this beer's taste and mouthfeel I could not help but obsess over one thing...Did Sir Alec Guinness ever see Ewan McGreggor's performance of Obi Wan Kenobi before he passed away? I wonder what he thought of it if he did. I think he did a hell of a job.
I've been intrigued with the Morimoto line of Rogue beers and buy them whenever I've come across them. I love a good gimic and good beer so walk away from the experience a winner.

Appearance: 1/4 head, dark red/brown in color, clear, high carbonation
Smell: sweet fruit, malt, brown sugar, and a touch of hops
Taste: same as the smell with a touch of wood--sweet fruit, malt, brown sugar, and a touch of hops
Mouthfeel: slightly bitter, medium/light bodied, and high carbonation
Drinkability: Not as impressed with this as the other Morimoto ale from them. I think the taste here seemed rather muted throughout. The smell is good but after that the ale is just ok. I will not be buying this again at the price.

Morimoto Black Obi version. Pours clear brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is predominantly nuts and cocoa. Heavy black tea influence. Thin mouthfeel. Taste is weak coffee and cocoa with toasted buckwheat. Grainy, earthy, and veggie. Really felt like it was missing something. Lingering aftertaste of roasted malt and alcohol. Good, not great.

Beer poured out from the bottle a dense, reddish brown colour. Slightly cloudy with a ruby tint when held to the light. Ale had a clean, sweet molasses aroma to it. Tasted roasty and malty, yet had a light body and a clean finish to it.
Would I buy this beer again? Maybe.

22 oz bomber served in a snifter.
A: Pours dark mahogany with a small, light tan head. Leaves a small spots of lacing. More or less clear.
S: Sweet aroma featuring mixed grains with fruity overtones, toffee and a hint of red wine barrel. Improved with warming.
T: A more complex and unusual flavor than expected even given the rather unusual and rather complex aroma. Diverse tasted malt aspects, presumably including buckwheat. [Actually, there is a somewhat clear note of buckwheat in the finish,] Hints of toffee, dark fruits and hops. Low bitterness,
M: very good body with medium carbonation. Fairly clean and semi-dry finish.
O: quite distinct, very interesting and well-crafted, with a good sweet/bitter balance, However, neither the aroma nor the flavor profiles were entirely to my liking. As intended, I guess, excellent with Asian cuisine. From memory, more interesting but not quite as enjoyable as Rogue Morimoto Soba Ale. Not a fruit/vegetable beer!

This beer pours a very dark red. It has a small brown head that fades very quickly, leaving very few laces. It has a malty sweet aroma to it. It smells coffee like, with a slightly nutty aroma also. It has very little hop aroma. It tastes malty, but not nearly as sweet as I was expecting. It has a chocolate taste to it. The hops make an appearance in the taste slightly. This beer is rather dry. It is sort of hard to drink because of how dry it is. It makes my mouth feel a little weird. I really cant explain how, just a little off. It is overcarbonated. It leaves a bitter aftertaste. This beer would probably make a bad session beer. Although it is low in alcohol, the aggressive, dry taste might be undesirable to some. I doubt I will have the desire to drink this one again. If you see it, maybe you should buy a different type. Like the Haselnut Brown Nector.

Pours dull black/dark brown with a tan head. Smells basically just like a schwarzbier, but slightly more fruity in the yeast dept. Taste is pretty much similar, with some chocolate and roasted malts, but with a little somethinge extra that a schwarz wouldnt usually have, and that's most likely ale yeast. Mouthfeel is a little on the heavy side of medium. Overall I think I liked the regular Morimoto soba beer better, but this was fair as well. Sometime I'll breakdown and buy the imperial pilsner, because the rest of his line has turned out decent. On the other hand, now that I've had this one, I doubt I'll buy it again.

I picked this 15th Anniversary beer up at the Kclinger's Public House before it closed awhile back. The beer poured a deep dense brown, almost black color with a very thick and bubbly head that lasted for awhile and finally gave way to a tan swirly layer over the dense body and had good lacing. The aroma is toasted, has a touch of coffee maybe. The taste is a more intense toasted malt taste with a bit of hop bitterness on the backend to round things out nicely. The body is medium and there is a good lingering bitterness on the tough. Another solid Rogue brew.

I'm not really sure what style this is supposed to be so I am going to rate it on it's merits alone.
Pours a deep coffee black with red undertones.
Head is thick tan that melts slowly to very heavy, sticky lacing which covers the entire glass.
Aroma is subtle but burnt malt and sweet nuts.
Taste is also subtle...beginning with toasted malt then moving to burnt malts and then a nutty taste. A touch of carmel with hints of coffee seem to find their way onto the tongue as well
Caramel nuts and burnt malt tastes linger in the mouth long after you swallow. Roasty-toasty goodness.
The mouthfeel is rich and tingly with a slightly bitter or biting carbonation.
Clean and fresh and very flavorful.
Very drinkable as well because it is actually very, very light for a dark beer.
I enjoyed this one and will definately pick it up again. In some ways it reminded me of a really good Black & Tan

22oz bottle. 'Black sash' - I'm wondering where that comes into play here.
This beer pours a very dark reddish cola hue, with two fingers of foamy, bubbly ecru head, which renders some decent layered webbed lace around the glass in its meandering, slow wake.
It smells of sweet roasted nutty malt, vegetal buckwheat, and earthy, leafy hops. The taste is more edgy, grainy buckwheat, dry roasted malt, a hint of earthy coffee/chocolate, and some floral/earthy hops. If I didn't know better, I would have guessed that this is some sort of beefed-up Guinness clone.
The carbonation is on the low, hard to discern side of things, the body medium-light in weight, and generally smooth. It finishes mostly dry, the nuttiness and sideshow buckwheat graininess lingering.
While this is replete with a flavour that I don't get much exposure to (the Yakisoba noodles that I indulge in frequently bear no relation to this), I still quite enjoyed the light, roasted, and nutty nature of this beer. Not quite sure what style of beer this is, as the vegetable/herb classification seems way too pithy and general for such an interesting offering.

Bomber into a pint glass.
Appearance: A dark amber, off-white head, decent head retention.
Smell: Almost like iced-coffee, though very mild, with some cream, earthiness, and roots, along with some dark bread crust.
Taste: Mild coffee and cream, with some root and earthy bitterness with the finish, along with mild bitter coffee and faint hops.
Mouthfeel: Thin to medium-bodied, with a nice full feeling creaminess throughout.
Drinkability: I guess this is retired? A nice brew overall, and something I enjoyed, but I'm not sure if I'd buy it again. I didn't know what I was getting into with buying this on a whim, but it was definitely an interesting experience.

Glassy dark-caramel brown color with a light tan head of super-tiny bubbles. Lace clings firmly with any little tilt of the glass. Head remains at half-inch for a good long time.
Unusual aroma offers up mint, mild anise, and a perfume/flowery essence up against a roasted vibe that reminds of a porter.
Flavors of Folger's coffee, black tea, tart dark fruit and dark bread are given a dryness by husky, seed-like earthiness. Further along into the bottle I keep thinking "dirt...soil...earth". Hardly any sweetness present, nor as perfume-like as the aroma hinted at. Kind of unappealing, especially with the insanely quick-drying effect that leaves the mouth feeling like it just French-kissed a lawn.
Nice texture...buttery and bouncy...but when a flavor doesn't appeal very much, how much should it matter?
It's unique, I'll give it that. Glad I tried it once, so drinkability's not awful. Neither is the flavor, but it's hardly refreshing or appealing. Just not sure why or when I'd ever want to drink this beer again. I like weird beer, but it's also got to taste good. Geez, that Bell's Third Coast Old Ale is looking pretty good about now...

22oz bomber decanted into a pair of pints to share with the wife :)
A- Great looking beer, pours a great finger and a half light tan head. very rocky. excellent retention, lacing is well above par too. Color is a deepbrown, with just a little light plumb color around the edges.. Its a real looker.
S- Very sweet, carmel corn, grains and dried fruits.
T- many different malt aspects, caramel corn again from the nose, along with sweet hard candy, and toffee malt. A little alcohol at the end. Very low bitterness, theres 3 hops but none of them do much.
M- very good body, thick with slightly above average carbonation which makes it more drinkable. Clean finish, little aftertaste or residue,
O- Good beer, I will have a gain. Well rounded and a nice sweet balance of flavor that does not get sugary or artificial tasting.

Had this in the fridge for almost a year now, waiting for the right meal to consume with. Decided to make some shiitake and broccoli stirfry and pop that bottle.
So.... hmm. Super dark - darker than Guinness. Low amount of head so I poured hard and encouraged the bubbles - thin head still here after half the beer.
It's really roasty, can't really decipher a "soba" flavor, but I do like the mouthfeel - thick but dry finish.
Me likey - would buy it again to drink with a teriyaki steak or maybe some roast duck.

Filthy burnt orange with a plump buttery dome.
Smells empty, and partially of hazelnuts and acrid metal, and toasted pine sprigs.
When cold, this is vacant on all accounts. A smattering of burnt wood, a fizz of Dr. Pepper, and some sprucey bitters. It unfolds (slightly) as it rests and warms. Burnt hazelnuts appear, with a less passive java roastiness. Dark bread permeates the middle, with pumpernickel traits. A sprinkle of vanilla pod replaces the false-seeming cola hues. Lemon-rind notes gain definition, probably in relation to the buckwheat- as opposed to hop-induced- but they tow a minerally sense of astringency. The hops ante up as well, adding a more bracing resiny pine backdoor bitterness.
That might paint an interesting picture, but everything clashes harshly here, even with its lack of assertive flavor.
An initial sense of pillowed heft vaporizes and turns feeble and sparce. There seems to be no real structure here.
For a few moments, this grew on me and seemed a respectable drinker, but it's boring, and not a particularly attractive progression of flavors, pallid as they are.
This is far and away the least distinguished Rogue brew I've had.

This is an interesting ale. Packed in a brown bomber with Japanese characters and named after a famous chef, Morimoto Black Obi Soba Ale pours nearly black with a medium sized off-white head that leaves some lacing on the side. The aroma is very grainy, like fresh baked multigrain bread, though a touch sweet. Very nutty flavor with sweetness at the start that moves to more savior notes with a touch of soy sauce in the middle and finishes dryer and with some spice. Light mouthfeel but perhaps lighter and less round than expected. The first sip or two might be a surprise as this is a unique beer, but it is very drinkable.

An 81-year-old Highlands County woman in jail for feeding bears has been granted bond.
Mary Musselman has been in jail for more than a week, after she was arrested for feeding wild bears in her backyard in Sebring.
A judge granted her $12,000 bond; she left the county jail Friday evening.
"It is a sad thing. She just cares for animals," her husand William told FOX 13. "She would feed animals before she would feed herself."
Officials say Musselman ignored their repeated warnings not to feed bears, and then resisted arrest.
In court Friday, Musselman -- in an orange jail jumpsuit and with cuffed hands -- meekly pledged to follow any such court order if she's released from jail.
"Miss Musselman,," the judge said. "If I enter a court order, are you going to follow it now?"
"I certainly will," Musselman responded.
"You understand we had problems with that in the past. If I say you have to have a mental health evaluation. If I say you can't have anything out there to feed the bears, you gonna do that?
"Yes," she said.
The judge wanted to consider the possibility of mental illness, which was raised by her attorney and husband.
Musselman's attorney wants his client to be released so she can have a private psychiatrist evaluate her. The state argued that she should be kept in jail, evaluated, then a decision should be made.

imposter posterSeriously, where the hell did I come off acting like I held the monopoly on morality? I've been making statements on these threads which are inhumane, to say the least. I never check my facts, I fact, most of my statements are based on crap I hear on Fox News...seriously...FOX NEWS!!!
Also, I've been acting as though I'll never get sick or be disabled or poor; as though I'm somehow "bulletproof", and will never, ever need government assistance. What kind of a horse's ass thinks that way.

Mickey's Patriotic Tie-Dye
It's the Fourth of July, and the Mouse is fit to be tied -- tie-dyed that is! Here's a fun red-white-and-blue design for Mickey fans of all ages to don on Independence Day.
You'll need:
- Mickey's Patriotic Tie-Dye Template
- Scissors
- White cotton T-shirt or tank top
- Straight pins
- Pencil
- Waxed embroidery floss
- Sewing needle
- Thick rubber bands
- Plastic for protecting your work surface
- Plastic gloves
- Red and blue fabric dyes
- 2 plastic squeeze bottles
1. Print the template and cut out the pieces.
Pin the center circle to the area of the shirt where you want the Mickey image to go and lightly trace around it with a pencil (the line doesn't need to be dark, just visible). Remove the template piece and pin the paper Mickey head to the shirt in the center of the penciled circle. Trace around the Mickey head and then remove the template piece.
3. Thread a sewing needle with a long piece of dental floss. Pull the needle to the center of the floss so that you will be sewing with a doubled strand of floss. Stitch all along the Mickey head pencil line and then snip the floss to remove the needle.
4. Stitch along the circle line in the same manner.
5. Tightly pull the floss ends of the Mickey head and tie them together. Trim the floss close to the knot. Do the same with the circle floss.
6. Tightly wrap a rubber band around the circle floss (but not the Mickey head floss).
7. Bunch up the shirt below the rubber band and tightly wrap one or two more rubber bands around the shirt beyond the first band, spacing them about two inches apart.
8. Cover a flat work surface with plastic (you will be setting the dyed shirt on this later). Then put on plastic gloves and prepare batches of blue and red dye (according to the manufacturer's directions) in plastic squeeze bottles.
9. Working over the sink or an outdoor tub, wet the T-shirt. Then gently squeeze blue dye on the Mickey head portion of the shirt until the fabric is well saturated. Squirt red dye on the fabric between the rubber bands. Set the dyed shirt on the plastic covered surface for ten minutes or so (the longer it sets, the darker the dye colors will be).
10. Rinse the dyed shirt under cold water until the water runs clear. Remove the rubber bands and rinse the shirt again. Carefully snip the dental floss and remove it. Then gently squeeze out any excess water and allow the shirt to dry. Launder your finished tie-dye shirt according to the dye manufacturer's directions.

A man is fighting to stay alive after his wife says one bad bite of food destroyed their lives.
Mid-South doctors had never seen a case like this before; it is a condition so rare, they contacted the Department of Homeland Security.
"One thing he ate changed our entire lives," Amanda Killen said.
Jay Killen struggles to even eat a spoonful of chocolate pudding after more than two years in and out of the hospital.
"This is the first I've been able to feed myself," Jay said.
Around Thanksgiving, in 2011, Jay got sick.
"I thought I was having a stroke or something," he explained.
So did doctors in the emergency room.
He was unable to move or even breathe; Jay was hooked up to a ventilator and placed in intensive care. By Day 6, doctors prepared to declare the 40-something former construction worker brain dead.
"He took me right outside the room and said, 'I have to tell you that it doesn't look good,'" his wife said.
Paralyzed and unable to speak, Jay was desperate to let everyone know he was awake and aware of his dire circumstances.
"I said 'God, please! Please help me show them I'm here.'"
Amanda played Jay's favorite music at his bedside and noted his leg moved in rhythm. Amanda's mother demanded doctors investigate.
"He said, 'Jay, move your leg.' I did," Jay said.
"He (the doctor) said, 'We've got this wrong.' He said, 'We need to figure out what this is but it's not what we think it is,'" Amanda said.
After conferring with researchers at the Centers for Disease Control, doctors determined Jay had contracted botulism. It's a disease that affects fewer than 150 people a year in the United States.
"It paralyzes all of your voluntary muscle function," Amanda explained.
The rare illness is caused by eating food containing the toxic bacteria botulinum. Moving your body and the simple acts of swallowing, blinking, and breathing becomes impossible. Jay was on a ventilator for 11 months. Adult cases of botulism are so rare, the Department of Homeland Security launched an investigation into the source of Jay's infection.
"It may have been a can of beets we had," Amanda said.
The Centers for Disease Control warns food borne botulism can come from home-canned foods with low acid content, such as asparagus, green beans, beets, and corn. It is caused by failure to follow proper canning methods.
Cases have also been linked to store-bought canned goods that were improperly handled by manufacturers, retailers, or consumers. Examples include chopped garlic oil, canned cheese sauce, chili peppers, tomatoes, carrot juice and baked potatoes wrapped in foil.
"You get to the point where it really doesn't matter where it came from because it's not going to change anything," Amanda explained.
"Yeah, it's done. You got it. Deal with it," Jay added.
After months tending to her husband, Amanda returned to work, in part, to preserve their health insurance. Jay was unable to even push a nurse call button, so volunteers signed up for weekly two- and three-hour shifts.
"These people showed up week after week. I know I got calls if someone couldn't be there to substitute," said the couple's friend, Malisa Burgess.
Jay couldn't speak but regained his ability to blink. Blinking became his means of communication as visitors recited the alphabet.
"I would say at 'A,' and I'd say the alphabet, and he'd stop me on the letter I'd write down. And then we'd go to the next letter," Amanda said.
"It was the grace of God and the grace of mankind that I was alive," Jay said.
Now in occupational therapy, Jay refuses to let botulism beat him, and he hopes his story of survival, thanks to family and friends and his faith, serves as a warning.
"If you have a canned product, if it's dented, return it. Throw it away. Don't eat it," Jay said.
An interesting side effect from Jay's illness is that he has fewer wrinkles. Botulism comes from the same toxin used in Botox cosmetic procedures.

Caseville Olympic Tri Result.Good day at the Caseville Olympic Triathlon. All the distances were marked wrong and my Timex GPS wasn't working well and is not dead so I'm gonna go by what I remember from it.
Swim- longer than 1500 (didn't GPS this)- 40 minutes. Had to run on the sandbar for about 1/2 mile.
Bike- 25.7 I think- 1:07 hours. False flat both ways. Went with wind out and against back, but I up a lot of time there.
Run- I turned around anywhere between 3.2-3.4 miles and only had an aide station at the sprint turn so I had water on the run twice.- 51 minutes. I think it was more closer to 3.4. Pace felt good, but black top got hot and had no shade and two aide stations both ways was rough.
Overall- 2:40 hours good for 2nd in the male 30-34 age group. Not sure how many were in because once they posted they just gave me my award. Overall, happy with this. Nutrition was right on and paces were good. I can improve every where though. Gonna be MWodding a lot tonight.

Tim Burke: Chael has no chance short of a Jones injury, and I still firmly believe that this is a joke of a fight. Jon Jones by submission, round 2.
Anton Tabuena: As much as I would love to see Chael constantly take Jones down and beat him up for 5 rounds, I just don't see it happening. Sonnen is a great wrestler, but he's not facing a guy with Anderson Silva's takedown defense. Not only is he going against a bigger and stronger guy, he's taking on a guy who also has very good MMA wrestling. I hate to say it, but it's going to be Jon Jones by TKO.
Mookie Alexander: I would give Chael Sonnen a significantly greater chance at victory if Jones wasn't a better MMA wrestler, striker, and grappler, as well as bigger and more athletic. Does anyone remember Chael Sonnen's career at 205? I thought so. Jones is going to win and I don't think a joke matchup like this should be entertained with extensive analysis. The only question is whether Jones will win by TKO or submission, so I'll go with the obvious answer.... Jon Jones by submission (flying triangle choke), round 3.
Zane Simon: So this fight is seriously happening. It's not just some long slow PR joke, where Dana pops in at the last minute and say's "Actually that's why we pulled Gustafsson from that fight last month. So he could fight for the title." (with a lot more swearing obviously). Sonnen is getting trucked here, and it won't even be pretend, 'he was in a little danger there,' close. Jon Jones by TKO
Fraser Coffeen: Sonnen's shtick during the Silva fights always annoyed me because it seemed so forced. But this season of TUF really made me appreciate him, as it dialed it down and just seemed more authentic, showing a passionate guy with a unique outlook on the sport. So maybe I'm not fully a Chael "fan" at this point, but I'm no longer a hater. Oh, the fight? Yeah, Chael is going to be destroyed. Jon Jones by KO round 2
Connor Ruebusch: Like Fraser, I came to like Chael the trainer during this season of the Ultimate Fighter. But I've never been more annoyed by Chael the fighter, and I just don't see what he has to offer Jones. On the feet, Chael is awkward, his striking workmanlike at best. His takedowns and top control are obviously top notch, but he'll have little luck forcing that game on the lanky wrestling nightmare that is Jon Jones. The only question is, how will Chael be finished? Based on the track records of both men, I'm gonna go with Jon Jones by submission, round 2.
T.P. Grant: Jones got this. Sonnen's only shot is the take Jones down and hold him there a minimum of three rounds and not get finished over the course of the 25 minutes. That game plan hasn't really work for him in the past, elite fighters are able to adjust and plan for that one-dimensional attack. I think at some point, while Sonnen is trying to grapple Jones, the American Gangster ends up in a front headlock choke and taps out. Jon Jones by Submission, Round 2.
Dallas Winston: Hi. Jon Jones by TKO Round 1-2.

Michael Bisping vs. Alan Belcher
Anton Tabuena: Tough pick here. This will probably be contested mostly on the feet, where Belcher should have better kicks and Bisping should have better hands. I think Bisping can outpoint him for 15 minutes, but Belcher can also end his night at any point. It's a toss up, but I'm going with Michael Bisping by Decision.
Mookie Alexander: Belcher routinely loses to top 10 opposition. Admittedly, Bisping is top 10 because he beat Brian Stann and fought competitively with Chael Sonnen, but I think Bisping is just the better fighter. I see Bisping starting slowly as Belcher works his striking game, but in rounds 2 and 3 I've got Bisping taking down Belcher when necessary and using his superior offensive boxing to win on points. Michael Bisping by 29-28 unanimous decision.
Zane Simon: Initially I'm really intrigued by this fight, these are two decent standup fighters with a lot to prove. Then I think of Belcher's last performance against Okami, and Bisping's ability to mix in wrestling to throw off opponents timing. While Belcher was impressive against Palhares I just don't see Bisping diving for an ankle in this fight. Michael Bisping by Split Decision
Fraser Coffeen: I really don't see this as a close fight. People tend to underrate Bisping and overrate Belcher, which makes this seem like a razor close battle. It's not - Bisping is the better striker, with the needed takedown defense to make this a kickboxing battle. Michael Bisping by decision
Connor Ruebusch: I don't actually dislike Belcher in this matchup. Bisping has enough defensive holes that Belcher could very likely win the standup exchanges, and this fight is almost certain to play out on the feet. What I do dislike is the deluge of spam emails that, despite the fact that I have now removed myself from the mailing list twice, Alan Belcher seems determined to send my way. So, for that reason more than anything else, I'm giving this one to the Count. Michael Bisping by unanimous decision.
T.P. Grant: Bisping is going to do what he does: move well, jab well, mix together some volume strikes, stop takedowns, and get a few of his own. I enjoy watching Belcher fight, he can be very exciting and isn't afraid to engage fighters in their strong areas but I feel like Bisping gets the win. Michael Bisping by Decision.
Dallas Winston: Huh ... I've been leaning Belcher on this one all week, based mostly on his unruly aggression and toughness. I think Bisping has the more technical boxing and footwork but I'm not diggin' how that compares to Belcher's brutal and battle-tested Muay Thai, nor how Bisping's high-volume/low-impact will fare against Belcher's Sherman Tank for a chin. Additionally, I think Belcher's more diverse and creative style will leave a better impression on the judges. Alan Belcher by decision.

Anton Tabuena: Kongo just doesn't have many ways to win this one. Sure, he should be more technical with his striking, but Nelson hits harder, and he has a much better ground game. Roy Nelson by TKO.
Mookie Alexander: This is the physique matchup of the year, isn't it? I'm going to sound like a broken record, but if this fight isn't finished within 7 1/2 minutes then you might as well take a smoke break or do some jumping jacks ... or do jumping jacks while smoking. Kongo doesn't have the power to trouble Roy, but Roy very much can shut off Kongo's lights. Just hope for no groin kicks, no wrestling against the cage, and maybe this fight will turn out okay. Roy Nelson by TKO, round 2.
Zane Simon: I can't bring myself to hate Roy Nelson, and I don't know why. Either way, if I'm looking at their last fight, Nelson KO'd Matt Mitrione, and Kongo ground out a win against Shawn Jordan. It's a small sample size, but it's pretty indicative of where their careers are right now. Kongo is barely better than the bottom half of the division, and Nelson is a top-ten gatekeeper. Add Kongo's slow speed and ability to get KO'd and I'd say Roy Nelson by KO.
Connor Ruebusch: Cheick Kongo looks like the most dangerous fighter in the world, but his skills don't match his action figure appearance. Roy Nelson, on the other hand, looks like the worst fighter in the world, but has the ability to flatten an elephant with his right hand. Plus, Roy Nelson throws combinations now, and even after years of kickboxing, Cheick still hasn't really figured those out. Roy Nelson by KO, round 2.
T.P. Grant: These are kind of similar fighters in that they are both gatekeepers to the elite levels of the Heavyweight division. Both are long in the tooth and likely not much longer for the UFC. They even are both 18-7, though Kongo has two draws. While many think of Kongo as just a striker, he is actually a good wrestler and is very difficult to take down and keep down. And while Nelson might have started as a grappler, he is now a knockout artist of sorts. Nelson is a Renzo Graice black belt, but he has been getting larger and larger, and I don't know how much of a threat he is from off his back these days, if Kongo is able to get him down this fight could go badly for him. More likely is Nelson landing a big right hand against the upright chin of Kongo. Roy Nelson by TKO, Round 2.
Dallas Winston: Well, shit ... I realize it's out of line with the general consensus, but I'm taking Kongo here for these reasons. Cheick Kongo by decision.

Vinny Magalhaes vs. Phil Davis
Anton Tabuena: Vinny has been asking for this fight, but I think Phil should make him pay for that. I think Phil is a slightly better striker, and while he is also very good on the ground, he has the wrestling skills to make sure it doesn't end up there. Phil Davis by Decision.
Mookie Alexander: Vinny's grappling is beautiful to watch, but Phil Davis is worlds better than the competition Vinny has beaten. He can fend off Vinny's attempts to get it to the ground and he has effective enough striking to outpoint him on the feet. Let's not forget that Davis isn't some slouch on the ground, either. Truth be told, this could be an ugly fight. Phil Davis by unanimous decision.
Zane Simon: I have a sneaking suspicion something has happened with Phil Davis's career, it's gotten sidetracked. It started with the loss to Rashad Evans, and was followed by the no-contest, and eventual victory over Wagner Prado. All of which make me feel that Davis has been funnelled back into his wrestling, and if he's going to spend 15 minutes on top of Vinny Magalhaes, there's a good chance he gets subbed. In the upset, Vinny Magalhaes by submission.
Connor Ruebusch: Phil Davis punches like he's fighting underwater, but he has some crisp kicks. Vinny Magalhaes doesn't have much of anything on the feet but a desperate, self-preservation-driven desire to clinch his opponent at all costs. Still, if this fight goes the way of most Phil Davis fights, I can see Vinny taking it. Ten seconds in Magalhaes guard is dangerous. Unless we see a very different Phil Davis on Saturday, he's liable to spend well over ten seconds there. Vinny Magalhaes by submission, round 2.
Dallas Winston: It's hard to pick against one of the best sub-fighters in MMA, but I think Davis will protect that one glaring disadvantage with the slightly better striking and substantially better wrestling and clinching. Phil Davis by decision.

Anton Tabuena: Both tough grinders, and this should be a very fun fight to watch. I think Miller will be the more technical of the two though, so it's Jim Miller by Decision.
Mookie Alexander: Jim Miller has probably reached a point in his career where it's clear that he is a step below the cream of the crop at 155 lbs (Bendo, Maynard, Diaz), but when he fights fringe top 10 or top 15 opponents like Healy he looks fantastic. This fight will be no different. Jim Miller by submission, round 3.
Zane Simon: Miller vs. Lauzon was an eye opener for me as to how well Miller can perform against a decent fighter at the upper levels of the division. Pat Healy's fight with Holobaugh had sort of the opposite effect. I expect Miller to find Healy's chin and put him away sometime in the second. Jim Miller by TKO, round 2
Connor Ruebusch: Obviously we have two excellent grapplers here, but I actually think this one will be decided on the feet. Neither man is likely to submit the other, but Miller's Muay Thai is more than serviceable enough to put the striking un-savvy Healy's lights out. Jim Miller by TKO, round 3.
Dallas Winston: Though I think Healy can etch himself somewhere in the middle of the lightweight pack, Jim Miller is a sturdy test who matches him well everywhere. Healy is a big and strong 155er and I'm not entirely ignoring the thought that Healy might have the slight edge in wrestling, which would strongly tilt things in his favor by being on top despite Miller's stellar guard game. The only reason I'm not going with that inclination is Healy's stand up, which basically consists of endless probing jabs and doesn't grease the rails well for his entries. [Miller x Healy Dissection] Jim Miller by decision.
Staff picking Miller: Anton, Stephie, Zane, Fraser, Mookie, Tim, Grant, Dallas
Staff picking Healy:
Johnny Bedford vs. Bryan Caraway
Mookie Alexander: It's the "in thing" to not like Bryan Caraway, but his strength is Johnny's crippling weakness. Bedford has 9 pro losses and 8 have come by submission, including twice to Dustin Neace. Caraway is a horrific matchup for him and is easily the better grappler. I'm going with the veteran to get a stoppage before Miesha Tate provides more horrendous corner advice. Bryan Caraway by submission, round 2.
Zane Simon: Right up until the moment Erik Perez pulled out, this was a good competitive fight between two hot prospects in the division. Now I expect it to be a bit of a railroading. Johnny Bedford by TKO, Round 3
Connor Ruebusch: This fight is Caraway's if he's smart enough not to slug it out with Bedford. He has good takedowns and a very slick submission game. Bedford has the power, and he knows how to work opponents into his strikes at the edge of the cage. But Caraway isn't the type to get backed up, and Bedford isn't the type to defend submissions. Bryan Caraway by submission, round 3.
Dallas Winston: Caraway's wrestling was pretty hyped throughout his TUF stint -- though I didn't quite see it at first, I thought his last outing against Mizugaki was really impressive. Bedford's height/range will work against him if Caraway can drop levels and slice into his hips, which I see Caraway attempting relentlessly. Bryan Caraway by decision.
Staff picking Bedford: Stephie, Fraser, Tim, Zane
Staff picking Caraway: Anton, Mookie, Connor, Grant, Dallas
Anton Tabuena: I really hope we see that Olympic Wrester vs. Olympic Judoka match up after this. Sara McMann by Decision.
Mookie Alexander: Unless McMann just completely gets caught off guard by Gaff's early and aggressive attack, she should be able to take this one. Sara McMann by decision.
Fraser Coffeen: McMann is undefeated for a reason. She's the brightest upcoming prospect in the UFC's Women's division, and someone who poses a real challenge to everyone in the division. Yes, EVERYONE. This is her break out moment - I just wish it was on the PPV card. Sara McMann by sub round 1
Connor Ruebusch: From what little I've seen of her, Gaff has tenacity, and not much else to offer. McMann has the better standup, and undeniably the better grappling. This is her fight to lose. Sara McMann by submission, round 2.
T.P. Grant: This is clearly a win for McMann, but she might now wow the crowd with her style. She is still fairly raw, and while she has a great deal of potential, still is a work in progress.
Dallas Winston: McMann-imal! Sara McMann by submission.

Ovince St. Preux vs. Gian Villante
Mookie Alexander: OSP by unanimous decision.
Zane Simon: I was never very excited by either of these fighters under Strikeforce, but while OSP has largely performed well (if boringly) Gian VIllante recently lost to UFC washout Chad Griggs. OSP by unanimous decision.
Connor Ruebusch: Was OSP's difficulty in wrestling down Gegard Mousasi due to some weakness in his game, or has the Humped One just improved his takedown defense? I'm going to go with the latter, and say that this one is likely to go the way of most OSP fights. OSP by unanimous decision.
Dallas Winston: I think OSP needs to make a big statement here to revive the buzz was kickin'. Villante is well coached with heavy hands and solid boxing, so OSP will have to be in top form and impose the strength, agility and athleticism that got people talking in the first place. OSP by hard-fought decision.

Staff picking Villante:
Rustam Khabilov vs. Yancy Medeiros
Anton Tabuena: SUPLEX! Rustam Khabilov by TKO.
Zane Simon: Hobby Lobby is easily the fan favorite here, against the relatively unknown Yancy Medeiros, and maybe that's why I'm picking Medeiros. What I do know about him is that he's cutting all the way down from middleweight, in his last fight, so he should be a big, strong lightweight. That may make him difficult to throw around. From there he's got a pretty powerful striking game. Don't be surprised if this ends violently and early, no matter who wins. Medeiros by KO, Round 1
Connor Ruebusch: Tough one here. Medeiros has quite a few knockouts, and he is cutting from middleweight. But he's only got one inch of height on the Russian, and he's not the greatest on the ground. Rustam might get off one suplex, but I'm not sure Medeiros is slick enough to get back up after that, so this one will be decided on the ground. And if Yancy does get back up, that cut from middleweight might cause him to flag. Rustam Khabilov by submission, round 2.
Dallas Winston: Fear the soup play. Hobby Lobby by submission.

Leonard Garcia vs. Cody McKenzie
Anton Tabuena: Uhm... Cody McKenzie by Guillotine Choke.
Mookie Alexander: MOAR SUPERFIGHTS! Leonard Garcia by accursed power, round 1.
Fraser Coffeen: Screw the haters, this fight rules. Just Got Real McKenzie vs. Windmills of Fury Garcia? It's like a fight you'd see on a random card in Japan and think about how ridiculous it is - then you realize you totally can't wait to see it. Cody McKenzie by submission, round 1
Connor Ruebusch: I wish I could jokingly pick Garcia by split decision, but... I just can't do it. As long as Cecil Peoples isn't judging this fight, I'm going with Cody McKenzie by submission, round 2.
T.P. Grant: Pretty much boils down to McKenzie has no striking, and beyond his front headlock chokes, he isn't much of a grappler. Garcia isn't great, but he isn't a scrub either. The Garcia we saw get Garcia'd against Holloway wrecks McKenzie, and the normal windmilling Garcia likely beats McKenzie as well. Leonard Garcia by Decision.
Dallas Winston: Fraser Coffeen wins this round. I honestly have no idea who's going to win this or how, but I'm absolutely looking forward to it. When in doubt: Leonard Garcia by split decision.
Staff picking Garcia: Mookie, Stephie, Zane, Tim, Grant, Dallas
Staff picking McKenzie: Anton, Fraser, Connor
Mookie Alexander: This fight will come down to who can set the (Ca)tone of the fight early. The fighter who accomplishes this will most likely come out a"head". You know what? Let me go get my ban hammer.... James Head by submission, round 2.
Zane Simon: Head's not a world beater, but then again, Nick Catone isn't exactly Ken Shamrock. Since dropping to welterweight Catone has fought just once, a submission loss to TJ Waldburger. Head lost much of his steam with a TKO via Mike Pyle, but there's little shame in that these days. Of the former middleweights I feel like he's got more upside, not a lot more, but enough. James Head by split decision.
Connor Ruebusch: MMAth is pretty stupid but I'm going to venture to say that a guy who beat Brian Ebersole can eke out the decision over a guy who lost to a guy who lost to Brian Ebersole. Why not. James Head by unanimous decision.
Dallas Winston: I'm kinda into this one too. I think Head's got real potential, especially after dropping down from middleweight (as Catone has), and feel he can match Catone's specialty of wrestling better than Catone can match his technical boxing and Jiu-Jitsu. James Head by submission.
Staff picking Catone: Tim
Staff picking Head: Anton, Mookie, Stephie, Zane, Fraser, Connor, Grant, Dallas
Steven Siler vs. Kurt Holobaugh
Zane Simon: I was really impressed by the way Kurt Holobaugh fought Pat Healy back in Strikeforce, and that was at lightweight. Siler lost to Darren Elkins last time out, which gives the two fighters pretty similar opponents in their last fight. I guess I'm just going with the more dynamic loser in this one, Kurt Holobaugh by unanimous decision.
Connor Ruebusch: I'm with Zane here. Holobaugh gave a very tough fight to a top opponent in Pat Healy, and I think his name's going to carry a lot more weight someday soon. Kurt Holobaugh by TKO, round 2.

It's a familiar complaint in Chicago.
Do elected officials in Chicago get better and faster service when it comes to filling potholes and removing snow?
"These potholes wasn't here a month ago. They're getting deeper and deeper," Chicago resident Brenda Rush said.
Brenda Rush says she called 311 to report the gaping craters that opened up on the street in front of her home near 73rd Street and King Drive on the South Side.
"I've called them twice...about two weeks ago. Nothing's happened," Rush said.
Just around the corner from Brenda is the home of 6th Ward Alderman Roderick Sawyer.
The only potholes on his street have been filled, though it's hard to tell when that was done.
"If we're not living in the upscale neighborhoods like them, they come first. They get their streets fixed first," Rush commented.
But that common perception of the "Chicago way" doesn't really jibe with what was found.
Over the course of a couple days, FOX 32 checked the streets and alleys around the homes of a dozen Chicago politicians, mostly aldermen.
What was found, for the most part, was the streets where the clouted live look pretty much like the streets anywhere else.
For instance, while Alderman Sawyer's block has a patched pothole, 71st Street, which runs right past his house, is a mess.
At Mayor Emanuel's home on the North Side, the police car sitting behind his house had to drive over potholes in the alley.
It's obvious the alley behind 46th Ward Alderman James Cappleman's home has not been touched by a city plow; it's a sheet of ice.
FOX 32 found potholes just up the block from the home of 39th Ward Alderman Margaret Laurino, and 11th Ward Alderman James Balcer's Bridgeport street looked the same as those elsewhere in the neighborhood.
"The services are beginning to be more fairly delivered in Chicago than they used to be," Former Alderman Dick Simpson said.
Former Chicago Alderman Dick Simpson, who now teaches political science at UIC, says it wasn't that long ago that elected officials did get preferential treatment.
"The machine aldermen used to take advantage of the services and have their blocks paved, particularly, before anyone else did, always were plowed and frequently the potholes were immediately fixed," Simpson said.
However, a lot has changed in 20 years. This includes the advent of social media, which allows residents to keep tabs on who's getting what.
The city has also centralized many of its services, taking much of the decision-making power away from aldermen.
Also, ward-based budgeting is allowing residents to vote on which streets get repaved first.
"The culture has changed. There are more at least partially reform aldermen than there used to be. And aldermen tend to take less obvious advantage of the city services than when clout was king," Simpson said.
A spokesman for the Chicago Department of Transportation says as of today they've filled 58,000 potholes since the start of 2014.
Keep track of what potholes have been filled with the city of Chicago's new pothole tracker.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
The York County Sheriff's Office is seeing a growing trend in trailer thefts in the county.
Since Sept. 1, there have been 19 reported trailer thefts within York Country. The total value of the trailers stolen is approximately $30,000.
To combat this trend, York County Sheriff Bruce Bryant would like to remind trailer owners to NOT make your trailer an easy target for thieves. Following a few simple safety tips of Mark, Block and Lock, may prevent you from becoming a victim.
In addition to these preventative measures trailer owners should photograph their trailers with the unique features to give law enforcement a better description of what your trailer looks like, because many trailers do look alike.
If you have any information that could help investigators, citizens are encouraged to call York County Crime Stoppers at 1-877-409-4321 or the York County Sheriff's Office 803-628-3059.
For further information please contact Trent Faris, Public Information Officer for the York County Sheriff's Office.

Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 168 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 over all good Over all we were pleased with this Sheraton, The few down sides were. the Jacuzzi tub was just a one person, old and noisy, it could have been bigger, Plumbing (toilet) was noisy. THE BIG PROBLEM was, we booked a couples massage at the Spa but when we got there they had put us in as 2 singles, E-Mailed the spa when we got home still have not heared back from them. As this was a romantic get away for my wife and I these things sort of took away from the experience. February 23, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Blackwood Lounge service much better Because I stay at this property a lot, I thought I would update my reviews to say I am finding the Club lounge service to be a lot better lately. The staff are friendlier and more engaged; on a couple stays the hours were extended to accommodate guests. Continue to receive too SPG Elite recognition. Although on my last stay my pre-upgraded suite was somehow not offered to me at check-in. Yet, when I mentioned it, the FDC immediately put me in the suite. Strange. December 2, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Fred8Dubai Convenient Close to Times Square and many other food locations. Tim Hortons next door. Friendly staff. Room and bathroom dated. No room slippers provided. Club lounge good. Bed and pillows great. Good for business in Markham and Richmond Hill. Unfortunately room on 10th floor directly above us had a party going till 230am disturbing our sleep with lots of noise and stomping on the floor with loud music. Not acceptable for a club floor. No security to access the floors. July 21, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by cayman2007 Jaccuzi Faucet claimed to be fixed but not. The hotel maintenance staff claimed he fixed the stuck cold water knob with the jacuzzi tub. I even saw him face to face when he walked out of the room saying it's all okay. Of course the moment I tried it's still stuck. Can the hotel management improve this kind of simple services? Do you expect your customers to keep calling the front desk to get something simple fixed? If it can't be fixed just let me know and give me the option to move to another room. January 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TheBat1 I loved the "breakfast feast!" On my recent stay at this hotel I was very impressed with the breakfast which was included in my room price. This meal was just "awesome!" It was not just a token breakfast but a "breakfast feast!' I was traveling with my son and each day on our trip, we started with a delicious first meal! This meal would actually enable me to not need to eat for most of the day! I also loved the beds which had a beautiful bed spread, comforter and "Lots" of pillows! December 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by WritingMom Convention weekend I spent the weekend at this hotel for a convention. The meeting rooms were all set up to our needs, the party rooms had a good layout, and the staff were excellent at meeting our needs. I brought my family and we all enjoyed the weekend. April 8, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by HKGGA Don't recongnize SPG Gold Elite Member They didn't offer any free Gift as stated in my Gold Elite Membership. Couldn't get any free WiFi internet access in room. I've to ask SPG for help and it just worked for one night. They told it away in the second night. Also, I'm a Gold Elite Member but I didn't the the level as my friend who was just a SPG Preferred. I was stayed in the 3rd floor next to the rooftop air condition units which my friend was stayed in the 5th floor with better view. June 18, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Harry62 Problems checking in I made a pre-paid non-refundable reservation for one night and on arrival was told that I did not have a reservation and that I must have booked at another hotel. I spent over twenty minutes on my mobile, verifying visa payment and other details. I had to convince the receptionist that I did have a reservation and we were able to finally match the visa transaction number and proceed with the check-in process. It was hard work after a long journey! December 3, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mati FIRE ALARM 9 o'clock in the morning, our first night staying there, after a long exhausting day, the fire alarm is blaring for 25 minutes! I call the front desk, and they just say that it was a problem in the parking lot. No acknowledgement of the terrible discomfort of being forced to get up, dress, and wait in the lobby. While it wasn't necessary to evacuate, it was nearly impossible to remain with such noise, especially as a not requested wake-up call. February 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Heather40 Okay The location is fine but the hotel needs some updating. Or, a better clean of the room. There was old food around the edges of the room and hair on the bed when I arrived. The front desk staff messed up the billing 5 minutes after I had been down to check out. When I went back both front desk staff were not helpful - one even made an excuse that I hadn't given my credit card as to why the billing was incorrect when I had just been down there. March 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JK99 Pleasantly Surprised I was pleasantly surprised by the service at Sheraton Parkway (Toronto North). My only complaint was there felt like there was sand on the top of the bed (or some other gritty like substance). Other than that I was happy with the room and found this to be a very efficiently run hotel. Check out was quick, booking was easy, food service was very good and staff was friendly and helpful. I liked the Starbucks and the lounge in the lobby. November 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by sporttraveller12 Communication Issues Had issues with room temperature and front desk messed up a couple of our group reservations. Was a pain! Breakfast was great! April 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by 154aj Lacking WiFi Coverage During my recent visit to the Sheraton on Hwy 7 Toronto I encountered 2 issues. 1- No wifi accessibility in your room, and for this reason I will not recommend this location to anyone who requires internet access. 2- Area knowledge of front desk staff. A female staff recommended nearest malls were Eaton Centre or Yorkdale which are minimum 30 minutes drive away if you know the area you add minimum one hour traffic to that.. October 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by dccv1 Staff very nice The hotel is well located north of Toronto and the staff were very nice and very helpful. Cleanliness was a bit of an issue. The hallways had things like dental floss, cotton swabs, paper coffee cups and pieces of paper laying there - from mid-afternoon to next morning. We misplaced somethng in our room and found a lot of dust, dirt and even a dirty old sock when we were looking for the item. Needs improvement in this area January 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JC2013 Sheraton Parkway - Richmond Hill I was happy in my stay there. The rooms are clean and beautiful. I was happy with the size of the room, but when I had a shower I had a hard time, the shower fits just for going in, the space is so limited that I don't understand how the designer made such a big room with such a small shower, the smallest one that I have ever seen. The Restaurant was nice and clean, staff was good and in overall was a good experience. April 8, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Emt2707 updates long over due old tv in living room. Flat screen in bedroom mounted to cabinet doors. Looks terrible! Caulking in bathroom done by inexperienced people, looks cheap. Dingie smell in hallways. Staff was terrific. Disappointed we had to walk about a quarter mile to health club around corner for pool, then trek back all wet . Wish we had known in advance. Photos make it look like outdoor pool is attached to Sheraton. It is not. July 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anna28 Business Conference Hotel Staff and Services were excellent. Annoying rattling all night long made for a restless night. Thought it was air vents. I discovered, in the morning, that the rattling was coming from the mini fridge in my room. Too bad I didn't figure it out sooner. I would have unplugged the fridge during the night. Other than that, all was great. February 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandy5716 Great time in Richmond Hill The staff and service was excellent, made to feel at home. April 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by envy1374 Expected better I recently stayed at this hotel and expected alot better quality and service from a hotel with the Sheraton name on it. The walls were hollow I could hear the people next to me the whole night. I made calls to the front desk twice to have them fix this issue. They called once and there was the same issue was going on for two hours. This was unaceptable service from a name hotel such as Shearton May 26, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by JC89 3 Day Business Stay Dated Rooms, but clean and good size Television is dated and analog. Parking is free. Internet is $8 / day - even for Starwood Members. Elevator lobby smells like chlorine from pool in basement. Gym is very small - only 4 treadmills/elipticals Food and drinks are 2 star with 4 star prices Good location to major highways and other dining options - about 12 other restaurants within 1KM walk February 23, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by MacTravel Hotel is stuck in 1999 First off, they wanted a $50 early check in fee for checking in in the morning. Next comes the musty outdated room, followed by the fact that I had to pay $7.99 per day for Internet. Who charges for Internet anymore? I remember back in the late 90's this was the case, but this is 2013? It would seem that this hotel is stuck in the 90's. Hotel lobby is nice though...... June 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Lily07092012 Dirty When I made my reservations I was expecting to visit a four star hotel instead what I received was bad customer service and a dirty room. It took nearly an hour after arrival for my room to be ready even though I book 1 week in advance, my room was suppose to be ready for 12:00pm not 1:00pm. Never again will I stay at this hotel and throw my hard earned money away. July 13, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Ren47 Standard rooms need a major update The staff at this hotel did a great job and where very helpful. The rooms need to be updated and where not as clean as they should have. The bed was very clean and comfortable, however, the carpet was not clean and judging by the edge of the walls had not had a major shampoo or cleaning in a very long time. The jets in the whirlpool need a good brushing as well. October 22, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by mattgs Good + Bad = Average I am a platinum member that stayed one night at this hotel. Good * Staff - very helpful, club lounge staff were excellent * Club Lounge - one of the best I have seen Bad * Room (suite - #978) was dirty * Hairs in bathroom * Coffee stains on bathrrom floor (that went away when I wiped up) * Drain in bathtub was broken * Jacuzzi cover was 1/2 removed June 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AndyP Great hotel, great location I have stayed at this hotel a few times for both business and pleasure and have been thoroughly satisfied. The staff were friendly, the breakfast was GREAT, there are shops and restaurants all well within the distance the hotel shuttle covers and the fitness facilities are good. All in all its safe to say I wont stay anywhere else when in the area. July 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by John59 Good stay Front desk staff upgraded us to a suite upon arrival. Suite was large and well laid out for entertaining. The bed was not very comfortable and the room was dated. The Club floor had a good assortment of breakfast items and the room was very clean. Staff was also courteous. Great location for dining as the area has several chain restaurants. September 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by jojott Excellent value The suite we had was large, clean and nicely furnished. TV in both sitting area and bedroom. Bathroom unexpectedly large although the shower is a tight fit. Easily fit 3 people. The staff at the lounge was very friendly and attentive. The chambermaids were very pleasant and always said Good Morning. Overall, execellent value for the money. December 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Conn2012 DALLAS2013 Great location. Close to downtown Toronto via Don Valley parkway and East/West travel via the 407. construction on Hwy 7 in front of hotel looks like it is nearly finished. lots of restaurants within easy walking distance. Hotel staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. This is the main reason that I frequently return to this hotel. June 24, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Pearl Dissapointed! Travelling with a child, never was offered help with my luggage, given a musty smelling room, and check in and check out nightmares!! Never going back. After trying to form a complaint the back office just brushed me off. You have lost a frequent guest, I have been staying here off and on for last 8 years, this was the worst visit ever. June 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Don27 Superb Staff; Delicious food Staff very professional but very friendly - really made me feel welcome - almost as part of their family visiting their "home" Food was excellent, very prompt efficient service - always hot and delicious - wait staff particularly pleasant leading to a very enjoyable experience. Looking forward to a return visit December 30, 2013

Student Spotlight: Ed Culleeney
Ed Culleeney
Major: Culinary and Hospitality
Ed Culleeney attended College of DuPage in the mid-1980s and has been a member of the Lettuce Entertain You team since 1985. He has been integral to the development and management of such establishments as Gino's East, Hat Dance, and Nacional 27, and he currently is vice president of Ben Pao Chinese Restaurant in Chicago.
Culleeney served in the Air Force and was stationed in Italy, near where his grandparents had lived, and he picked up a love for the regional cuisine. After returning to the U.S., he worked at TGI Fridays and the Elmhurst Country Club before deciding that a degree in Foodservice Administration might be beneficial.
"I was taking classes at COD and putting in applications to work for Lettuce Entertain You," he explained. "I ended up getting a job while still going to school. It was difficult, because I was receiving my management schooling and on-the-job training at the same time. But it put everything into perspective. COD was the basis, because I gained so much knowledge about my industry."
At Lettuce, Culleeney started in an entry-level management position at Gino's East and worked his way up to general manager. He then moved to the Hat Dance, an upscale Mexican concept, which he ran for 11 years as general manager. After helping to open the A-1 Border Beanery, a Southwestern concert, he briefly returned to Hat Dance before being assigned to work on a new Asian concept. He traveled to Los Angeles and then to the Far East to learn as much about the cuisine as possible. As a result, Ben Pao successfully opened in 1996.
Three years later, Culleeney brought that same level of attention to Nacional 27, which not only is a full-service restaurant but a salsa night club on Friday and Saturday nights. After the successful launch, he returned to Ben Pao, which he continues to run.
The industry he was unsure about as a career has brought Culleeney great success.
"Hospitality is almost theatrical," he said. "It's like throwing a party. You open a restaurant and it's filled with people, and you're the host of the party. So it's like you're on stage. You're a performer, and you better deliver. The fun part of job is working the floor and meeting people."
Culleeney has never lost contact with COD, whether he serves in an advisory capacity on various projects or donates gift certificates for fundraising efforts. He was named the Hospitality Administration program's Distinguished Alumni of the Year in 2010.
"COD was a wonderful base for me," he said. "I learned a tremendous amount and always felt proud that I went there. I'm very happy to be associated with this program and am always willing to help whenever they need it."

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

LeBron James had 35 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and three blocked shots for Miami, but passed on the final possession to Udonis Haslem, who missed a long jumper at the buzzer.
Dwyane Wade chipped in 31 points and six rebounds. Shane Battier also added 18 points for the Heat (28-8), who were playing without All-Star Chris Bosh.
Al Jefferson came up with 20 points and six rebounds to lead the Jazz (17-18) to their second straight win. Five other players scored in double figures for Utah, led by C.J. Miles with 14 points off the bench.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Lou Williams scored 25 points, and Elton Brand had 14 points and 14 rebounds to lead Philadelphia over Golden State in the 50th anniversary of Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game.
The Sixers topped 100 points for the first time in 20 games on the night they paid tribute to the record Chamberlain set for the Philadelphia Warriors against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962, at the Hershey Sports Arena.
The Sixers gave fans pieces of the court and honored Chamberlain's sisters and former teammates during a halftime ceremony.
On that memorable night, Chamberlain scored 41 points by halftime and 69 points through three quarters. The Sixers had 50 points at the break and 75 points through three on Friday.
Andre Iguodala had 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Sixers. Thaddeus Young scored 16 points.
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Luol Deng scored a season-high 24 points and Derrick Rose added 19 and Chicago won its fifth straight with a victory over Cleveland, which was without rookie guard Kyrie Irving.
Up by 12 at halftime, Chicago built a 24-point lead in the third quarter and coasted to its 12th win in 14 games to stay on Miami's heels for the best record in the Eastern Conference.
Carlos Boozer added 13 points and 11 rebounds as the Bulls won their seventh straight over Cleveland.
Irving has been fighting a flu bug for several days and missed his fourth game. The Cavs sorely missed their leading scorer and playmaker while dropping their fourth straight.
Antawn Jamison scored 22 for Cleveland, 0-3 since the All-Star break.
HOUSTON (AP) -- Ty Lawson had 22 points and a career-high 15 assists, Arron Afflalo scored 16 of his 17 points in the second half and Denver rallied to beat Houston.
Kenneth Faried added 16 points and 11 rebounds and Andre Miller scored 16 for the Nuggets, who shook off a dismal shooting start and ended up with seven players scoring in double figures.

Kevin Garnett added 20 points and 10 rebounds for his second straight double-double and third in four games. Rajon Rondo joined him with a double-double, finishing with 14 points and 13 assists for Boston (18-17).
The Celtics were playing without Ray Allen, who was sick Friday night, but still controlled nearly the entire game and had five players score in double figures.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Chris Kaman had 20 points and 13 rebounds, Jarrett Jack hit a key basket down the stretch and New Orleans beat Dallas.
The Hornets led for the entire second half but did not secure the win until Jack hit a leaning jumper with 17.9 seconds left, giving them a 93-89 lead. Xavier Henry added a season-high 19 points off the bench. Jack finished with 15 points and six assists.
Dirk Nowitzki added 19 points, but was only 7 of 19 from the floor as Dallas lost a season-high fourth in a row. Jason Terry was one of nine from the field, and Jason Kidd had only one field goal.
Rodrigue Beaubois had a season-high 25 points for Dallas, making 11 of 17 shots after starting for the first time in 13 games.
ATLANTA (AP) -- Vladimir Radmanovic made the go-ahead 3-pointer with 11.9 seconds remaining and Atlanta rallied in the final period to beat Milwaukee.
Jannero Pargo scored 11 points, all in the fourth quarter. The Hawks, playing without leading scoring Joe Johnson, leaned on their reserves, including veterans Tracy McGrady and Jerry Stackhouse, in the final period.
The Bucks, led by Brandon Jennings' 34 points, were ahead by 15 in the third quarter. Atlanta pulled ahead with a 15-3 run to open the final period.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Tony Parker scored 15 points, and San Antonio overwhelmed Charlotte in the second half for a victory.
The Spurs (25-11) bounced back from a rare home loss earlier this week against Chicago to win for the 13th time in their last 15 games. The Bobcats (4-30), who were playing San Antonio for the only time this season, have lost four straight and 20 of their last 21.

Travis Rice lives and breathes the mountains. The son of a ski patrolman, Travis spent his younger years exploring the surroundings of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He's never really stopped. TRice, to his friends, has 30 titles to his name during his 12 years in professional snowboarding. Having won everything he turned his hand to big mountain riding and been responsible to pushing it to new heights. Already a great, Travis achieved infamy when he became the first snowboarder to hit Chad's Gap. His huge mute grab over the 120ft jump in Utah put him on the cover of almost every snowboard magazine going. Rice has also turned his hand to some seriously heavy film parts. 'That's It, That's All' and 'The Art of Flight' are two of the biggest snowboarding movies of all time with Rice instrumental in organising and starring in these genre defining movies. In TITA his landed the first ever double cork 1260 this was followed by a clean sweep of Transworld Magazine Rider's Poll. He won Rider of the Year, Video Part of the Year, Standout of the Year, and Readers' Choice award. Having mastered the competition circuit and accrued an incredible filmography, Travis turned his hands to running competitions. The Red Bull Super Natural featured progressive features built by Rice himself and delicious powder and has quickly becoming one of the biggest events in the snowboarding calendar. In films, competitions and big mountain riding Travis Rice has been a constant for almost fifteen years. First he mastered what was already there and from there he has helped taking the sport to the next level.

First Twincept Calendar
Twincept is a great improvement - keeps
dials clean!
When was the picture taken? 16 October 2001, no problem! Even on the picture the blinking date of "today" is visible. For people with good eyes, the Twincept technology really offers great possibilities. To watch a video on demand on a Casio Twincept watch, we will however have to wait until next Christmas ;-) But the calendar will at least help, not to miss Christmas, or for that matter, any date until 2019. Interestingly not all calendars of the Twincept watch models show the same end year, some end 2019, some 2039. Are the chips' capacities really that limited? I guess, the Casio programmer of the 2019 tried to catch an earlier train to go home, whereas his collegue "2039 San" stayed in the office longer and went straight to the bars. Domo arigato "2039 San"!
