Exercise addiction is probably the most contradictory of all the addictions. Not only is exercise a widely promoted health behavior, it is an important part of recovery from another addiction, and an effective part of treatment for depression and other mental health problems. This is because exercise has many psychological benefits, as well as physical benefits. In fact, the positive effects of exercise, and particularly outdoor exercise are on a par with medications as a treatment for depression, which often co-occurs with or underlies addictions.
Yet, like everything else, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. And it is possible to develop an addiction to exercise, in much the same way you can develop other behavioral addictions.
So how do you know whether you are engaged in a healthy lifestyle, or whether you have a problem? Well, the first step is to understand what an addiction is. Think about how you would feel if you were unable to exercise for a day, a week, or indefinitely. Would it bother you? Would it be a nice rest? Most importantly, would you find it hard to cope with life without daily exercise?
If you feel distressed at the thought of not being able to exercise every day, and at a loss for how you would manage your feelings and get through the day and night without exercising at some point, it may be time to seek help. Unfortunately, exercise addiction is not well recognised, so may not be as well-resourced as other addictions, such as alcohol and drugs. However, your family doctor should be able to advise you, and you may be able to access support through an addictions clinic. Psychologists are usually well-trained in helping people manage change in their lives, so finding a psychologist to support you may also be an option.
If you are exercising frequently, but are not really concerned about how it would feel if you couldn't exercise, you are probably not addicted, although it may be worth discussing how much exercise is healthy for you with your family doctor, or someone with expertise in exercise, such as a personal trainer or gym instructor. The amount and type of exercise that is healthy will depend on many factors, including your age, health, sex, and physical condition. If you find it hard to limit your exercise to what they advise, it may be time to seek help.

Great post, Elizabeth! There's such a fine line between being an exercise fanatic and taking things too far into addiction. You're right that some people may not recognize it's a problem since exercise is something we want people to do (and, often, the more the better). Thanks for bringing this into the light.
- January 8, 2009 at 9:22 pm(2) addictions says:
I absolutely agree. Most people need more exercise, and should be encouraged to exercise daily.

Thank you for this post. I am an addict in recovery that before I came to a 12 step program, I had many years of non-use but no recovery during this time… for me I know about exercise as an addiction along with many other actions that have nothing to do with drugs… ones actions can become just as obsessive and compulsive as any drugs i could ever put into my body…
- January 14, 2009 at 7:42 pm(4) addictions says:
Good point, and one that has been recognized by some authors. Patrick Carnes, who wrote a lot on sex addiction, says that rather than categorizing the behavior, we should focus on what the behavior is doing for the person.
Many behaviors are used by addicts and non-addicts to alter the way they feel, including food, gambling, alcohol, and high-risk experiences.
When one behavior become depended on as THE way to control feelings, it becomes an addiction.

I think im addicted. I can't even do my home work because i come home from school and go to the gym for 2 and a half hours. The days i can't workout because i have to work I quickly workout for a half hour at home and the whole time im at work im down because i think i need to go to the gym. I spend over 200 a month on my membership and supplements and I can't just quit buying them, I look better and I feel alot stronger. I love being noticed for my figure so I think if i stop I wont get comments anymore I like being the big guy so I strive to be bigger than what I am now. I'm 17 and have been working out for about a year and a half i workout 5 times a week and take supplements everyday. Is this normal for a teenager?, I cant even eat fast food EVER and rarely eat bad at home because i think im going to get "fat".
- November 26, 2010 at 11:28 am(6) Elizabeth says:
It is completely normal for teens to focus on their appearance, to want to be liked and accepted, and to develop an intense liking of certain activities.
The main two things to consider about whether you have an addiction to exercise are:
1. Whether you can cope without it. If you feel emotionally overwhelmed without your daily workout, you need to start to find new, more effective ways of dealing with the daily stress we all face.
2. Whether it is causing you problems. It sounds like you are having difficulty finding time for school work because you are working out so much. When other parts of life start to suffer as a result of addictive behavior, it's time to get help.
Find out whether there is a school counselor who might be able to help you with getting your exercise down to a healthy habit, rather than something that dominates your life. They may not get that there is a problem right away, so make sure you tell them about the two points I've mentioned above.
If the school counselor doesn't work out (no pun intended!), talk to your parents about it. They might be able to pay for you to see a counselor privately, or they might help you to manage your stress in healthy ways and focus a bit more on your school work.
Good luck!

I workout anywhere from 2-5 hours daily.
Today probably not because I can't move. It's bothering me, but I'll just sleep all day and not eat anything.
I have problems with working because I don't have enough time to workout, or sometimes the work is too physical and I get too tired after work to go. Physical work is not exercise in my opinion.
I quit my job to workout full time.
I was diagnosed with major depression. The pills and the exercise keep me sane. Or.. My definition of sane, anyway.

Great to read this. I have come to realize I can`t function without going to the gym everyday .so much so that i feel guilt , stress, severe restlessness and fatique when I don`t go . This has been going on for years and in fact has obstructed many other activities for me such as living a life .It is the contradiction inherent in this addictive behavior which makes it hard to deal with.Any time I have some pressure or task that must be done such as getting a job, etc. the desire to go to the gym will impose itself like this`you`ll feel more confident if you work out first"or" first I`ll go to the gym then my mind will be more relaxed".Of course neither turns out to be the case.In fact a workout makes me stressed and body(self) conscious rather than confident. On the other hand the only solution seems t be abstaining from exercise which of course is not a good idea either . No space left.
- January 23, 2013 at 11:21 am(12) anthony bolton says:
A common thread in these comments seems to be that people began exercising to counterbalance some other event or extreme state earlier in life .I suffered from a scoliosis when i was a teenager and subsequently felt weak and uncomfortable. In reaction in my twenties i began working out 3-4 hours a day . Still now if I miss excercise for a day or two i will feel that old insecurity creeping in even though I have been fit for fifteen years.
I believe that excercises such a Tai-cHi and yoga (tho i`m sure someone somewhere is addicted to them too ) are far more beneficial particularly in dealing with stress.
Well, i`m off to the gym.

self-serving comments :seek help
naive comments: find it hard to limit your exercise
exercise is not an addiction at any level. a person may engage in sports to the detriment of their social life or financial situation, for example, but thats simply poor decision making. If a person walks to work every day because they like that, are they then addicted since they find it hard to limit their exercise??
an addiction, by definiition, requires that cessation of the activity causes severe trauma. No one has ever felt trauma from stopping exercising. If they have, its probably due to something entirely unrelated, like reading web articles by people who completely fail to understand exercising at basic, moderate, advanced and professional levels.
the concept of addiction has no business playing around in the highly worthwhile sandbox of exercise and health. [edited for offensive content]
- February 6, 2013 at 10:38 pm(14) Joseph Martin says:
I would strongly encourage anyone struggling with over exercising to consider something, "how does exercising cause you to feel?"
And whatever that feeling is, have you ever considered finding another way to "get that feeling without stopping the exercising?"
You may find that obtaining this "feeling" that you like, is obtainable in other "healthy" and "positive" ways.
What if you were able to continue to continue to exercise AND get the same feeling another way?
Would it be possible that the exercising could not be so excessive because exercising is "good for you" and so is feeling good.

I'm cured! I'm finally cured! I'm cured after so many years!!! A neurologist has finally decribed me the pills that stopped the daily pressure in the chest region that made me so nervous for years! For years, it stopped only from exercise. The beginning of this annoying sensation had been my daily aerobics fifteen years ago. Healthy food and normal exercise hadn't made me very slim so I turned to daily aerobics in an aerobics club. This caused the need of daily running or aerobics to avoid this very annoying pressure in my chest.
Those doctors who are saying sport addiction doesn't exist are obviously ignorant. And those doctors who demand that everybody be very slim are ignorant of what this demand can do to people.

Rick, your in the gym too long. And trust me you don't need all them suppliments to get big. Keep it simple eat right and work hard. Save the money and ditch the " man-in-a-can" . I try to keep it around an hour a day, any more and your wasting your time. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be a stronger man, but you gotta take control.

Hi Im 32 years old and nonthing makes me feel better then working out.I workout about 5 times a week hour And half sometimes up to 3 hours a day. I do this for months at a time without taking more then 3 days off, when I do take days off I feel out of wack ..

This has honestly got to be the most absurd article I have ever read.In order to obtain physical fitness it requires dedication, discipline and above all time. In order to yeild any serious results you would have to be working out for atleast a year.Keeping a fit body is a choice that requires a certain lifestyle just like any other athlete.I do notice in the comments people say that train for two plus hours and that is overtraining.It is about getting the most of your time there not who can spend the most time there.Ive lifted since my freshman year in high school and have never used any type of performance enhancer. I cannot even tell you how many people I've helped get in shape and inspired to lead a healthier life. There are a lot of time consuming hobbies that would be more detrimental to your health then working out.I say all this out of my pure passion for it.I thank god everyday that I am healthy and able to use my body.

To those who say they work out 5 days a week I don't really think that the addiction counts for you…I'm pretty sure people with a gym addiction goes 7 days a week for like maybe 5 or 6 or 7 hours a day..that's what a addiction to the gym is not 5 days because obviously the other 2 days you are obviously relaxing…

I have a customer that wants to develop a simple very graphical app for N97 and N97 mini only.
A blocking requirement is that app installation should not require the installation of anything else (e.g. Flash Lite version, QT packages etc).
I have suggested use Flash Lite, but I am not 100% sure that this will comply with the requirement.
From the device specs, both N97 models come with Flash Lite 3.0. If I can keep within the Flash Lite 3.0 framework, will the application run straighaway in new N97 handsets? (i.e. no need to install any Flash package whatsoever).
Also, can anyone provide a link to a list of functionality for Flash Lite 3.0?
Thanks in advance.

Americans have been reminded, over and over again, about the unfairness of a Washington-enforced, Washington-approved health insurance. The liberty-loving people in the United States have repeatedly asked Congress to repeal ObamaCare. We are seeing problems, attempting to comply; just think what its true cost (money and liberty) will be January 2014 when implemented.

Package Description:
There are many ways to see Ireland but to experience it in style is the best way to go! You'll begin your trip arriving into Dublin, and from there, you'll make the short drive in lovely Co. Meath, just to the northwest of Dublin, where you will spend the first night of your trip in the luxury of the 4-star Dunboyne Castle Hotel. While there, you might choose to relax at the SEOID Spa, reveling in the tranquility of the hydrotherapy pool after a soothing massage - or round out your evening with dinner in one of the three magnificent restaurants on the property.
The next morning, you'll continue your jaunt north to Donegal, visiting sites along the way. The only 5-star Castle in Donegal, Lough Eske can trace its roots back royal families. It sits within 40 acres of ancient forests and lush green pastures. Here you will be pampered like royalty as you enjoy the various amenities on offer.
Once you have absorbed the history and natural beauty of Donegal, you will head south along the west coast of Ireland to the beautiful city of Galway where you will stay at the 5-star Glenlo Abbey Hotel. Known as Ireland's Cultural Heart, Galway is renowned for its various festivals, celebrations and events. In your 2 days in Galway you can soak up the artistic side of Ireland that gave to the world musical performers like The Saw Doctors and Siobhan McCormack. Or if history is more your speed visit the Church of Ireland St. Nicholas' Collegiate Church, located in the heart of the city and the largest medieval church still in everyday use in Ireland.
Finally, you will make your way back across the heart of the country to spend one final night in Dublin at Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel. Be sure to sample the vibrant nightlife of Dublin before returning to your 4-star home away from home for one final night's sleep before your return flights.

A look at the questions surrounding Lightning goaltending going into the 2013-14 season.
Three players who suited up for the Syracuse Crunch last season are back in the fold, while another was added from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton organization.
Losing the Calder Cup Finals in six games reopened an old wound for some Lightning fans, and yet it's the most misplaced excuse for Syracuse not winning the 2013 Calder Cup.
What does Anders Lindback's injury mean for the Lightning goaltending pipeline?
It's time to spring forward, are the Lightning up to the task? Does it make a difference who is starting in goal for the Bolts?
What does a beard and a winning streak have in common? Maybe nothing, but maybe everything.
What can Lightning fans make of the Dustin Tokarski-Cedrick Desjardins trade?
Controlling the puck controls the action on ice, and the Lightning would do very well to remember that. Anders Lindback is sick while the Washington Capitals are looking to climb out of the NHL...

The Bantamweights opened up the UFC 166 Facebook prelims with Dustin Pague (11-8, 1-4 UFC) looked to break his three fight skid against UFC newcomer Kyoji Horiguchi (11-1). The 135ers got the event off to a great start. Pague looked good early and almost picked up a quick RNC victory, but Horiguchi held out. In the second round, he took over and brutalized Page on the ground to force the TKO stoppage.
A quick exchange on the feet to start, then Pague attacked with a takedown from a standing arm-triangle position. Horiguchi almost wound up on top, but Pague scrambled to lock on the body triangle and take the back. He immediately started going for the rear naked choke, but a standing Kyoji defended well. With about 90 seconds left, Horiguchi managed to escape and counter into a clinch of his own. Page with a solid right hand. Kyoji came in to clinch up again and Pague tossed him to the mat. Round ends with a reversal and Horiguchi on top.
After losing the first round, Horiguchi landed a big punch that sent Pague to the mat. The Japanese fighter followed up with vicious ground and pound, but referee Herb Dean let the fight go on. Pague managed to reverse and escape but got tripped with Kyoji taking half-guard quickly. Pague ate a lot of shots on the ground. Horiguchi stacked Pague and unleashed another series of punches that finally made Herb Dean call the fight.
Kyoji Horiguchi TKO'd Dustin Pague at 3:51 of round 2.
A great fight and fantastic debut for Horiguchi. Unfortunately for Pague this was probably his final appearance in the Octagon as he's likely get his walking papers after losing for the fifth time under the UFC banner.

Experience, Passion, Drive, Motivation. What to all these words have in common? They're all adjectives that describe Old Dominion University's Community Music Academy instructors. All ODU CMA instructors are highly qualified individuals who not only posses the knowledge of the instrument, but also the passion for teaching it. Whether a novice or advanced, our instructors teach students the principals of their instruments that help build a foundation for the rest of their lives.
Below you will find information about instructors for this instrument. Contact us for information on how to contact these instructors and begin private lessons.
Lee Teply has lived in Norfolk since 1986, when he came to teach music theory and music history at Old Dominion University. He started ODU's Collegium Musicum, an early instruments ensemble and, in 1988, he took over the direction of the Madrigal Singers. In addition to producing the annual Madrigal Banquets, he prepares the group for performances with Capriole and directs performances througout the state. A new facet of his position at ODU is his involvement with the Opera Workshop, for which he has conducted the productions of Dido and Aeneas, The Telephone, and Douglas Moore's Gallantry. For the Governor's School of the Arts, he has received much admiration for his direction of a small choral ensemble that has an emphasis on early music.
Dr. Teply is the Music Director at First Lutheran Church in Norfolk. He also has been associated with the music at St. Andrew's Episcopal, Royster Memorial Presbyterian Church, and Epworth Methodist Church. Before moving to Virginia, he was a full-time church musician in Lewiston, NY. His degrees in organ performance are from Oberlin Conservatory and the Eastman School of Music. He has studied conducting with William Weinert, Robert Fountain, Harriet Simons and Robert DeCormier.
As a harpsichordist, Dr. Teply played often with the Virginia Pro Musica/McCullough Chorale, and he has also played with the Virginia Symphony. For several years, he provided program notes for both the Chorale and the Symphony, and he continues to do so for the Feldman Chamber Music Society. He is a music reviewer for the Virginian-Pilot, and he has also written for Early Music America. His new music appreciation class for adults, The British are Coming!, focuses on music from Jamestown to the Colonial Period.

KELLER -- "Pomp and Circumstance" played for just one student Friday at Keller Central High School.
But the circumstance that brought such honor to Kareem Gibbs will likely take his life before his classmates cross the stage next year.
"He has exemplified character, honor, and service throughout his short time at Central High School," Principal David Hinson told the standing-room-only crowd jammed into the auditorium.
Kareem Gibbs came to Keller Central from Atlanta only a year ago. A few months later, the cancer returned.
It's not the commencement speech anyone would choose to write.
"I come to school with a smile on my face. I face obstacles with a smile on my face," Kareem told his classmates and teachers. "I try to make the most out of everything I do in life."
Teachers, administrators, fellow students, and especially his mom, wanted to see him cross the stage in cap and gown. So they made it happen.
Kareem and his mom made sure they were back from chemo treatment -- in Atlanta.
They drive there every week; 12 hours there, 12 hours back.
Hours in a hospital.
Every one of them a gift.
"I might not be here next week," Kareem grins, "but I can guarantee you I'll be here tomorrow. And we can make the most out of it."
Kareem is in a clinical trial he knows can't save him, but might help future patients. His oncologist hopes it will extend his life by a few months.
"But I like to look at it as we're extending his life until the next science comes along," said Kareem's mother, Rakiya Muhammad.
She understands people being drawn to her son's story. But more than that, they are drawn to her son.
Students nominated Kareem for homecoming king.
"I'm always going to think about him when I go through a rough time," said senior Cameron Zedik. "He's an inspiration for everyone at this school."
Seniors stood and sang their alma mater. Kareem photographed them from the stage.
Graduation reminds them of what could have been, and what still can be. Kareem Gibbs reminds them of everything in between.
"Life is a story," he said from the podium. "However you write it is the way it happens.
"I love to smile," he told them.
He switched the tassel on his cap, then tossed it into the cheering crowd.
Ironically, the cancer is in his heart.

GALESBURG, Ill.-- Carl Sandburg college is back in session and just a few days after floodwaters rushed through the campus.
Last week heavy rain brought unexpected floodwaters through the main building at Carl Sandburg College.
And just days later, the school is open and functioning.
College president Lori Sundberg says the faculty really came together to make it happen. "We spent Thursday and Friday getting everyone packed up, getting organized and figuring out where we want to be because we wanted to be ready this morning."
The water rose 3 feet before crashing in through the doors of the building.
Sundberg is estimating nearly $500,000 in damages."So what happened is it rushed through that front door and then it went down the corridors. It damaged a lot of computers because a lot of people had towers on the floor."
The building offices have been relocated while crews work to clean up the destruction.
Sundberg says if something like this had to happen this was actually the best time. "We're in pre-summer and pre-summer has just a few classes. Some clinical[s] but they're off-site... a New York trip but again it's off-site. So in terms of timing it couldn't have been a better time for something like this to happen."
The school does not have flood insurance and they are looking for monetary donations to help with some of the damages.

Product Information
- UFC Deluxe Action Figures, Series 6 from Jakks Pacific
- Part of the UFC brand
- We recommend this product for ages 8 and up
What It Is
What It Is
Series 6 of UFC Deluxe Action Figures includes mixed martial arts fighters Baz Rutten, Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, Georges St. Pierre, Thiago Alves, Jens Pulver, Clay Guida, and Frank Mir. Each figure features Ultra-Flex articulated technology that includes 29 points of movement to make each move and pose more realistic. There are numerous ways to pose the figures, allowing kids to bring to life one of their favorite TV sports.
Why It's Fun
Kids like watching mixed martial arts on TV, and now they can bring favorite fighters from the ring into their homes. The detail on these figures is great, and kids will like being able to manipulate the figures to recreate the fighters' signature action poses.
Who It's For
Boys ages 8 and up who are interested in UFC and mixed martial arts will like these action figures.
What to Be Aware of
Parents who are concerned about UFC should know that in 2005, the rules of fighting were redone to focus more on skill and strategy and less on mayhem. Ultimate Fighting is quickly emerging as a legitimate sport with a huge fan base.
However, only you can determine what's appropriate to bring into your home.

Say 'three ears', running the words together. There is a /j/ sound in the glide from the vowel of 'three' to the diphthong of 'ears' In normal conversation, there is very little difference between the sound of 'three ears' and that of 'three years'. Try to hold the position of your tongue as you move from 'three' to ears' - that is the position for /j/. Try to produce just that sound.
Say 'long ears'; now try to insert the /j/ when you say 'long years'.

With the season winding down and the Shock out of the playoffs, majority owner Brady Nelson already has his eye on next year, and the year after that, and the year after that.
Nelson sat down to talk with SWX's Sam Adams this week to talk about the team's attitude after not making the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. He also touched on the quarterback conundrum for next year – one that may or may not include Kyle Rowley and/or Erik Meyer, and whether big changes are on the horizon for the Arena Football League:
Q: How do you grade what has happened this year?
A: "It's really tough to grade because when you look at our wins and losses record, right now we're 9-8 and with a chance to go 10-8. And at the end of the season we've possibly beaten six of the eight playoff teams. We've never been in a position where we've not been in the playoffs. We've never had a week where we've planned that on Monday everyone is going home. It's a totally new scenario for us.
Overall, we're not happy to be 9-8. We had much higher expectations."
Q: What does your gut tell you about Erik Meyer and your quarterback situation?
A: "With our new collective bargaining agreement we've negotiated with the union, this is the first time players can sign multi-year contracts. So, we expect to have our quarterback for three years. We worked out Erik last week; he had one day to practice to see how he was, and I think he was a little tentative on wanting to go through this whole thing again – it's the second year in a row he's rehabbed. His talent is there, his leadership is there, all the intangibles are there for a star quarterback in this league, I just think he needs to decide whether he wants to play in it. He's told us he does want to keep playing."
*Asked whether he could see a situation in which the Shock had both Erik Meyer and Kyle Rowley under contract, Nelson flatly said no. He also said they would explore their options on the open market. The free agency period in the AFL begins September 15.
Nelson said he hopes to get 75 percent of this year's players back on next year's squad. And that leads to the next question: what about a possible switch to "Ironman" football – players playing both sides of the ball.
"I think it would be fun for the fans to see that. We only played ironman football for one season, and strategically we thought it would be better to go with one-way specialists because I thought we'd be the best to adapt at it. We didn't have a veteran coaching staff that was rigid in making decisions, so it ended up working out for us. We ended up having a fantastic run.
I think with the opportunity for 2-and-3-year contracts and ironman play I think we have a leg up on our competition."

A Washington County man is guilty of eight counts of sexually assaulting an animal.
Tony Hall-Rivas was convicted Friday on those charges, as well as five counts of burglary.
He was arrested in April after investigators said DNA evidence linked him to an investigation involving trespassing in a barn and sexually abusing horses.
The investigation started in the fall of 2012 when the barn's owner found evidence someone was entering her barn.
Detectives installed monitoring equipment and a man was caught on camera going into the barn. Further surveillance showed the man inappropriately touching the animals, according to police records.
The abuse became increasingly bold and frequent, investigators said. On several occasions, deputies said Hall-Rivas was scared away by the horse's owner.
On March 20, the owner said she saw the man running under the back gate at 7:39 a.m. as he was pulling up his pants.
Detectives recovered evidence left in the barn and on the suspect's escape path during the investigation.
The Oregon State Police Crime Lab was able to receive a positive match from DNA on a hat that led them to Hall-Rivas.
Hall-Rivas was acquitted Friday on one of the charges of sexually assaulting an animal, along with a criminal mischief charge.
He is scheduled to be sentenced July 1.

Enjoyed on-tap at Stub & Herbs in Minneapolis, MN. Apperance was a slightly hazy gold body with no head. Aroma was light citrus and faint malt sweetness. The flavor followed aroma with nothing that memorable about this beer. I ordered a half-sized amount, so it may have needed more time to warm up and reveal more. Still the drinkability was very good. I'll have to try it again sometime.

From notes
A - Pours a hazy straw/golden brown color with one finger of off-white head.
S - Smells of coriander. citrus and yeast. Also a slight amount of pepper. Pretty good.
T - Similar to smell. Nice spices with hints of citrus and pronounced Belgian yeast presence. Pretty refreeshing. Finishes slightly earthy.
M - Light/medium mouthfeel, crisp up front, slightly dry finish.
O - A bit tame for the style, but this still has some good flavors and goes down easy.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Tulip.
Appearance: Hazy, very pale yellow (Wit-like). Very active with bubbly head and some nice lacing. Champagne-like bubbles.
Smell: Citrus, clove, pepper, banana, overall sourness.
Taste: Orange peel, coriander, cloves, wheat malt, slightly tart. Once again, seems very much like a Witbier.
Feel: Relatively high carbonation, light body. Pretty dry but not as dry as other Saisons.
Drinkability: Nice, refreshing, easy-to-drink Wit, I mean Saison. Doesn't matter, it is a solid, thirst quenching brew.
Looking forward to trying their other beers, such as the 55 IBU Pale Ale with grapefruit zest (Crosscut) and the Lingonberry infused Tripel (Minnesota Tan). Nice to have another Minnesota brewery. Welcome!

Poured into a pint glass. Appearance is crystal clear straw yellow with a lively white head. Decent lacing. This beer would have looked better in a tulip glass. Oh well. Aroma has tons of lemony citrus and apricot esters, some white pepper and cloves, bread-dough yeastiness, and a dominating aroma of Bazooka bubble-gum. Faint flowery hop aroma, too. Flavor much the same as aroma with that Bazooka bubblegum at the forefront. Moderate carbonation bites the tip of your tongue and cleanses the palate for more. Medium to medium-low mouthfeel allows this beer to be extremely drinkable, but there's tons of flavor so it didn't feel thin at all. Very tasty beer and some interesting flavors, too.

3.8/5 rDev +5.8%
Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a Duvel tulip glass.
Appearance: Cloudy golden yellow with a tint of orange. Not many bubbles. Decent one finger white head fades into a patchy layer.
Smell: Belgian yeast and wheat with banana, cloves, and coriander spice. Hints of orange, apple, and lemon. Light scent of pepper.
Taste: Lots of yeast and wheat throughout with the coriander spice and pepper coming midway. A lot more pepper than was in the smell. Hints of citrus throughout. Finish is fairly dry with a strong kick of bananas.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with a low amount of carbonation. Slightly watery.
Overall: This is a tasty and very easy drinking take on a Belgian Saison but it should of been fuller in the body.

[Thanks to mnwags for this one.]
Pours a head of firm sea-foam, clingy and audibly crackly; color is a pale golden-yellow. Lots of bubbles.
Aroma is just barely saison-ish...more like a witbier really. Yeast gives an earthy twist to the floral and fruity vibe that dominates. Slightly biscuit-y. Fresh and buoyant and enjoyable, although its Belgian-ness is debatable.
Flavor is a balance of fruit and bitterness, with a bit of spice for good measure (like a really faint dash of white pepper). Herbal tea vibes, especially in the finish. Lemony flavor is further back, though not at all tart.
Texturally soft, despite ample carbonation; light-bodied; borders on watery, but there's just enough creamy roundness peeking through to save it.
Farm Girl Saison is decent...it's got roundness of flavor and texture, but lacks some depth. Nothing mindblowing, certainly, and not an adequate substitute for key Belgian versions or even superior American takes on the style. And what are those cows on the label sniffin' at?

12oz bottle poured into a tumbler style glass. Its all the restaurant had. No pints???
A- Zesty yellow with nice ribbons of cloudiness. Little to no head nor lacing.
S- Spicy and sweet notes. Very complex. Hard to pin down any one specific trait. Intriguing.
T- Complexity of aroma carries directly through to the taste. A bit more spice evident. Pear-like fruitiness.
M- A little weak and watery. Does not finish as dry as it should.
D- Very drinkable. Complexity lends itself to many meal paring possibilities.

2.15/5 rDev -40.1%
Moderately hazy, milky lemon-yellow hued with a thin white skim, which fades swiftly but leaves patchy lace.
Doughy wheat bread nose, backed with chalk dust, powdered sugar, and bitter orange rind.
Wheaty, wet, and doughy. That's what the mouth gets. Yeast adds a touch of lactic sourness. Orange-rind flavors piggybacks and overrides, adding sweetness rather than bitterness.
Gassy, light bodied, with a fizzy CO2 that burns itself out with haste. It's got a Shandy-like profile that might suffice when a mean thirst strikes. But why bother, when any number of liquids could easily fill that roll more satisfyingly.
Essentially, it's an American Wheat Ale doing a half-ass Witbier impersonation.
But marketing this as a Saison?

3.43/5 rDev -4.5%
Poured from a 12 oz. brown bottle into a chilled pint glass.
Appearance: Hazy/cloudy pale yellow, very similar looking to a Witbier in appearance. Foamy head that retained well and left nice lacing.
Smell: Subtle wheat and citrus aroma.
Taste: Not a typical saison flavor. This one is wheaty and sweet, falls somewhere between a Witbier and a HefeWeizen (without the phenolics). Very little hop flavor noticed, unlike most saisons. Not bad at all, but I happen to like wheaty witbiers and hefe's quite a bit.
Mouth feel: Light and thin with good carbonation.
Drinkability: I could easily do a session with this one, especially in the summer. Not a true saison style, but it's still a good beer. Tastes quite nice with a lemon slice dropped in.

3.3/5 rDev -8.1%
Pours incredibly clear, easily making it the clearest saison I've ever had. Very cider-like in appearance - straw-colored body and absolutely no head what-so-ever. Plenty of fine sediment in suspension being pushed around by mild streams of carbonation.
Good but very light. Biscuits are prominent. Mild funk with adequate spicing (pepper, coriander, and clove). Bubble gum and banana notes can be found, but they are so light you'd be forgiven if you missed them.
Refreshing but again, light. Banana and Sourdough stand out. Light citrus notes. Nice spicing and balance, if not a hint on the bitter side. I would like to note that the warmer this one got, the more I enjoyed it... Do yourself a favor and serve this one at 40*-45*
Medium body. Good carbonation. Clean finish.
For a light saison, it's not bad but it left me quite underwhelmed. I prefer more potency, flavor, and funk from a saison.

On-tap at the Acadia Cafe. They should really call this a Belgian pale ale, because it's a lot closer to Leffe Blonde in taste than any good saison I've had. It's not a bad beer, it has a share of clean wheat and barley malt tastes followed by notes of sugar candy and spiced vanilla. That doesn't add up to a saison, however. The verdict: a good, but misclassified beer.

Medium golden brew with a substantial 1 inch white fluffy head that retains well.
Fresh lemony aroms with distinct saison spiciness. The flavor is fresh and thankfully quite dry, witha moderately hoppy bitter finish.
Very refreshing, drinkable and sessionable, more interesting than your typical ale, well made.

2010 Relentless®
Released SEPTEMBER 1, 2013
Suggested California retail: $72.00
"Shafer's annual contribution to the Rhône gene pool is one incredible Syrah"
— Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast
2010 Relentless is sourced from a rugged, remote estate vineyard that delivers consistently full, luscious aromas and flavors and a long, cool growing season that is one of the finest we've seen.
Winemakers notes
"Relentless continues to evolve in ways that are even more elegant and evocative. In the glass the wine presents itself with aromas that are high-toned, bold and floral with a core of classic Syrah meatiness along with dark fruit, cinnamon, rose petals, and black pepper. The mouthfeel reminds me of crème brulee yet with bright acidity, black fruit and cranberry, sweetness, vanilla and a floral finish that lingers on and on. This is one you'll want to enjoy both in the brightness of youth and in the tantalizing delicacy of age."
— Shafer winemaker Elias Fernandez
This wine honors long-time Shafer Winemaker Elias Fernandez and his relentless pursuit of quality. Sourced from small ridgetop and foothills vineyards adjacent to the southern border of Stags Leap District, Relentless is a proprietary blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah.
The two grape varieties grow side by side in vineyard blocks that offer a variety of sun exposures throughout the day, including steep eastern blocks for lots of morning sun and westward sloping blocks, offering midday and late day solar exposure. Thanks to its thin, volcanic soil and quick runoff the vineyard consistently delivers effusive flavors.
At harvest the Syrah and Petite Sirah varieties are typically picked, crushed, fermented and barrel aged together, producing a wine of distinctive richness and elegance.
2010 Relentless Fact Sheet
|Shafer Brochure
Finding Our Wines
Robert M. Parker Jr.'s The Wine Advocate,
October 2013
2010 Relentless® – Reviews
"The extraordinary 2010 Relentless (96% Syrah and 4% Petite Sirah) offers up notes of graphite, subtle wood charcoal, barbecue smoke, blackberry, blueberry and raspberry fruit, and hints of spice and meat. This full-bodied, supple-textured, exceptionally rich Syrah already has a certain accessibility, but should age well for two decades."
— Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate
Firm, rich and dense, this combines power with finesse, offering a deep mix of chewy dark berry, dark chocolate, black licorice, road tar, tobacco and loamy earth flavors, tightly wound and leading to a long finish. Syrah and Petite Sirah.
— James Laube, Wine Spectator
"Shafer's 2010 Relentless bursts from the glass with super-ripe dark purple/blue fruit, cloves, leather, mint and white flowers. The 2010 is a deep, fruit-driven wine endowed with superb texture and gorgeous depth … Layers of fruit continue to build through to the huge, voluptuous finish..."
— Antonio Galloni, Vinous
"… expressive aromas of blackberry, minerals, spices and game. Densely packed, concentrated and sweet, showing very good energy to its dark berry and licorice flavors. Finishes with sweet tannins and lovely length. Wears its high alcohol gracefully and comes across as a bit more serious than the equally strong 2009 bottling.."
— Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar
"… a supple blend that is absolutely striking. It has bold flavors of cherry, cassis and herbs, and it's buoyed by crisp acidity. It's meaty and leathery with a kick of spice — the very best that syrah has to offer. Pricey, yes, but irresistible."
— Peg Melnik, Santa Rosa Press Democrat
"Dark purplish ruby color; attractive, deep, intense, plummy, very ripe blackberry fruit aroma with notes of anise, black pepper, and vanilla; full body; big, rich, extracted, textured, cedary, blackberry fruit flavors with good depth; full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Appealing to taste now though has the balance and structure to age for another ten years. Very highly recommended."
— California Grapevine
"From the standout winery, a superb, complex, long-life blend of syrah and petite sirah."
— Peter Gianotti, Newsday
"…seamless satin – the texture you find in the Northern Rhone. Chalky tannins are held in check, butting against licorice, blueberries and violets. The Petite Sirah plays a larger role than its small percentage, pulling the wine outside the "norm" but allowing in the Syrah's ripeness with its dark berry tinge and flavor …"

Fourteen year-old Devin Wair is here for his weekly weigh-in. Devin has struggled with his weight since he was a toddler, and today, he's battling high blood pressure, high cholesterol and pre-diabetes."I wouldn't do as much. I would stay home and play games and not do things with my friends and things," Wair said.But he is working to turn his life around with doctors, nutritionists, psychologists and physical therapists at Mount Washington Pediatric hospital."It's not just about the child, It's about changing the behaviors of the family," said Michelle Demeule-Hayes with Weigh Smart.The Weigh smart program is 10 weeks of exercise and education at the hospital's facilities. The program is so popular, there aren't any slots for new patients until February of next year."Our kids are the first generation of kids that might not outlive their parents because of obesity," Demeule-Hayes said.Devin's family is leading by example -- salads instead of fried foods, neighborhood walks instead of video games."It was a sacrifice for us, but it was so worth it," said Sharon Smith, Devin's grandmother.Devin finished his 10 weeks and is 20 pounds lighter. "He's so happier now. His personality shines," Smith said.But it's still a struggle. Some days it's really hard, some days it's not. With the help of his doctors and family, Devin hopes to get his weight below 200 pounds in the coming year.Danielle Nottingham - CBS News
