It comes in the standard Sam Adams brown bottle. You have their standard label with Samuel Adams prominent in the middle. Blackberry Witbier is in a purple banner. There is a picture of Sam Adams at the bottom hoisting a frothy mug of beer. At the top of the label it boasts this is part of their Brewmaster's Collection.
There is a beautiful golden honey color with just a touch of orange to it. It's clear with just a touch of cloudiness to it, which is unusual for a witbier in my experience. The head that formed was thin and white. It faded quickly to a ring around the edge of the glass and there was no lacing.
The scent was kind of weak, but was dominated by the scent of blackberries. A faint yeast and floral hop smell was detectable. There was no citrus or spiciness that is normally associated with a witbier. The flavor was mostly that of blackberries, that tasted almost like artificial flavoring. There was almost no wheat flavor and there wasn't any spiciness at all. There was a slight bitter hop finish to it.
This is light bodied beer, with a nice carbonation level. There is no coating of the mouth.
I'm not a fan of fruit beers, and in all reality that is what this is. Most of the characteristics one associates with a witbier are missing from it. As a fruit beer, it was kind of lacking as well. The berry taste wasn't as dominant as it should have been. It wasn't a bad beer; I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.
I wasn't expecting a whole lot out of this brew when I tried it. I had purchased it for my wife - she tends to like the fruity foo-foo beers. It turned out to be a nice surprise.
The brew is a solid witbier at it's core with decent blackberry flavoring. Texture is typical of almost all of the Sam Adams brews but matches well with the other textures in the beer. Overall, it's a great desert beer that also works well with poultry. I don't know that I could do more than one in a sitting.

My wife likes thse kinds of beers, so I bought her a 6 pack. Of course, I had to try one. In a pilsner glass the beer was a hazy light orange color with a small white head. It had a sweet berry aroma. I knew it was blackberry, but I couldn't tell that from the aroma. The taste was a little more straightforward in that I could tell it was blackberry, but just barely. I think there was a little citrus also. It had a metallic feel to it. Not one I'd like to drink again; my wife got the remainder of the 6 pack.

This is a very good entry from Samuel Adams. The smell is bright and in style. The taste is definitely blackberry, it's even on the palate and consistent. This is a moderate body, on the robust end for the style, slightly sweet, somewhat bitter. This is very drinkable and an enjoyable beer. This is meant to be enjoyed, appreciated, not chugged.

An aggressive pour leads to caution on my part--I don't want to overflow the pint glass. The head fizzles to a bulbous top, and slowly dissipates. The immediate post-pour head atop the translucent light orange liquid looks darn good, really.
The smell is kinda wierd. It's like I smell carbon dioxide, as the fizz predominates. I smell the blackberry faintly in the background of gas particles escaping from pressure. Still, it's a witbier and, to me anyway, they smell better than your average ale.
Like most Sam Adams beers, it's better than average regarding taste as well. Ya know it's neat and all because it's fruity and tart (it is a witbier), but I can't help but wonder if somebody like DFH could do it better. Right now, I'm reminded of how much I'd like to find the Au Courant. Back to this one: I dig the fruit-feel fizz more than the taste, but it's still not "good."
The mouthfeel is neat, oddly, without really leaving me wanting more. Again, the beer's bubbly aspect consumes its being. It's like I feel the beer more than I taste it. I mean that as a totally objective comment.
Worth drinking like most beers are worth drinking. What else can I say about that?

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: The body has a nice slightly hazy appearance with some visible streams of carbonation and golden color. On top there is a thick and fluffy bright white head. It hangs out for a bit but soon starts to fade fast down to a small ring of lace. There is some slick lacing on the glass.
Smell: There is a nice berry aroma as soon as you open the bottle. Light bready wheat notes are mixed in as well.
Taste/Mouth Feel: The flavor has a light wheat base with light floral notes and mixed berry notes that have light sweetness. This gives way to some tart berry notes and a very slight acidity that dries out into the finish which is quick and clean. The body is light to medium with lively carbonation and texture.
Notes: Overall it's a nice light summery beer.

A- Pours a hazy brown orange color, with a small head that quickly recedes, and lots of carbonation rising up.
S- Sweet smell, with strong berry smell, citrus, and wheat
T- Very strong blackberry taste, not as authentic as I had hoped, kind of syrupy, and hints of cirtus and wheat
M- Pretty carbonated, smooth, and tart
D- There are much better options for a good fruit brew, but I did enjoy drinking this beer.

Bottle pours a hazy honey gold body with a creamy vanilla medium sized head. Good sticky lacing.
Aroma has vague spice(pepper and coriander), toasted wheat, and twangy blackberry.
Crisp carbonation enlivens the light medium body but there's some thinness here.
Taste has a bready wheat malt twang and a hint of yeast. Slight spiciness is barely noticed and seems to be coriander. Subtle berry tartness is natural enough and not overdone.
Quite drinkable but still a bit pedestrian. Far superior to their Cherry Wheat.

12 ouncer, with "purchase before" dating notched on the side of the label. Pours cloudy darker apricot, with an eggshell head and leaving mostly a thick collar and spots of blobby lacing. Obvious ripe fruit in the nose, sugary berries. Pleasant summer brew, berries prominant and carry through start to finish. MOre of a fruit beer then a wit, as I dont pick up much of anything in the way of wit characteristics. NOt a bad brew to help wash down a summer lunch, or would be an obvious choice to accompany a fruity dessert. Worth a try in warm weather.

Bought in a variety six pack with Irish Red and Black Lager. Pours a cloudy golden reddish color which testifies to the presence of fruit.
Smell is overwhelmed by the blackberry.
The blackberry is so strong that it is mostly blackberry with a hint of wheat as opposed to the other way around. At the very start there is the light to medium bodied wheat flavor typical in all witbiers.
I thought the blackberry was overwhelming. A little too heavy. I was hoping more of the wit would shine through.

4.1/5 rDev +24.6%
Appearance: above average carbonation, big head, cloudy, orange-yellow in color
Smell: blackberries, and florals--perhaps lilacs or lavender
Taste: It matches the smell to a tee, with some wheat thrown in
Mouthfeel: smooth, medium body, slightly sweet with a sweeter finish
Drinkability: I like this beer. I believe it is a very drinkable wheat. This beer takes me back to a good vacation on the Olympic peninsula with lavender and blackberries all around--so there is some personal prejudice...I am glad I got a six and not just a single.

The beer pours a hazy golden-orange color with a white head. The aroma has a little bit of wheat, but what is really standing out is a very sweet blackberry component. The flavor is also full of extremely sweet, and somewhat cloying, blackberry fruit notes. There is some wheat, and maybe a hint of coriander, but the fruit is front and center. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

3.8/5 rDev +15.5%
Opened 12 Fluid Ounce bottle, poured into Nonic glass.
Pours a light cream head with little retention; turns to lace atop a golden brown hazy brew.
First smell is of dark berries and banana; blackberry smell overrides the banana smell; Berry taste is also prominent on palate. I don't taste any spice, but the wheat is pretty prominent.
Mouth feel is nice, with good bubbles that don't attack in a harsh manner. Pretty smooth finish. Would I have another? While I'm not a huge fan of fruit brews, this is well balanced. Lightly sweet and great flavor. Sure, pour me another.

The Food: The formal dinning was amazing! We ordered as much as we could eat. On lobster night we got two plates a piece! We had exceptional service and the most friendly waiters! We ate there every night except for the last night when we were both too sea sick to attend.
The Shows: Didn't get to do a lot in this department. Wasn't sure when/ where shows were. We did go to karaoke the first night and it was quite entertaining! Drunk people+rocking boat+Sir Mix A lot= best show ever!
COZUMEL: We had a great experience in Cozumel! We hopped in a cab and went to Club Cozumel Caribe. It's the best kept secret in Cozumel! The water was so clear and the snorkeling was fantastic! It was $40 a piece for the cab far and the snorkeling together. The people were very friendly. A great deal, one you couldn't get by purchasing through Carnival.
Over all it was a great experience and I would definitely do it again (but just sail out of a different port next time). We are cruising again with Carnival in May 2012 and can't wait! To whoever reads this: have fun and enjoy your cruise on this flashy fun ship!

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Great ice route with amazing views. Worth it just to see North Chasm View Wall in the winter. Travel for 3-4 miles on the South Chasm View Road (skis or snowshoes needes) past Devil's Overlook. Pass one yellow sign, then a large boulder on the left. From here, you will pass a bend and pass another yellow street sign. Travel another 30-40 meters and enter the drainage immediately to your right. Descend a few hundred feet down the gulley/drainage through willows and thickets until you reach the mouth of the ice. Right on top of the climb is a boulder with 2 bolts for rappel. Rappel to the tree where you will make your second rappel. Some snow walking is necessary to reach the tree but it isn't far or steep. Once you reach the bottom of the second rappel, pull ropes and chose the line that is best for you.
From US Hwy 50, take CO Hwy 347 to the Black Canyon Visitor's Center. It is about 5 miles from US Hwy 50. Park at the Visitor's Center. (Note: there are no park entry fees in the winter.) Grab a wilderness permit. Put your skis on and head on down the road. The guidebook says the ski takes about an hour. Allow for at least that if you are a fast skier. I recommend you allow an hour and a half to two hours for the approach.
Some rock pro for anchors, long slings for the tree, medium-large screws. 2 ropes for rappel.

By: L'jeanne, Advertising Manager
Movie time! Guess what's now showing at Entergy IMAX® Theatre?! It's the last installment of the Harry Potter series: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2". I am a big fan of this theatrical series and this last one is phenomenal! It's now showing at our Entergy IMAX® in 3D every weekend on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 5:15pm. Order your tickets online today and gather the family for a fun evening at the movies. This is the final movie in the Harry Potter series and it's been such a great story to follow. It is an amazing on screen 3D adventure that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. There's twist and turns and exciting revelations. You will thoroughly enjoy it. With one showing per day every weekend, I'd recommend buying your tickets early. And when you buy early, buy a combo ticket, come early and take a walk through Audubon Aquarium of the Americas. You can check out the sting rays and see the new sand tiger shark in the Gulf of Mexico exhibit. He's a smooth guy, but check out those teeth! Also right next door you can walk through the Butterfly Garden at Audubon Insectarium. You can find your Zen in the Butterfly Garden before heading over to see the IMAX® 3D movie. Make plans and come this weekend we hope to see you at the movies!

Hi, would i be a beginner or an intermediate? i have been traning for about 3 and half years on and off mostlly doing 4 day spilt routines sinice i started, have but on a bit of size since i started but have been the same for the last year and a half i was woundering is this maybe because i went stright into a spilt routine and never did a 12 week beginner routine for example, so would this be the caus of it or would it be down to my diet?
There are many possible answers. You have covered the two main ones; diet and routine selection.
Other possibilities include progression scheme, exercise selection, and recovery.
You are considered a beginner as long as you can make linear progression on a good routine.
Most beginners make the mistake of jumping into a routine that is beyond their level because all the bodybuilders and magazines say it the right way to do it. You are not alone. My advice is to spend some time with a good routine and treat yourself like a beginner. It will be the fastest way to go, even if you have four years under your belt.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I had huge strength and size gains in the first year, and this past year have made absolutely jack for progress. Looking from the outside, trying to see what I would recommend to someone else (I give advice better than take it) I realized aside from a couple nagging injuries my diet sucks, my consistency sticking with one routine sucks, and not being able to squat or dead I think sucks too. So I took a few steps back, deloaded, got my diet back on track and started the deads and squats again.... So far, there has been no pain, knock on wood. I'm looking forward to the next 20 lbs of bulk. Get in my belly!
"There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." --James Madison, speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 1788
off road thanks for th reply , would you think a spilt routine ( 4 or 5 day 1/2 body parts a day) or a whole body routine like 3 dys a week, day 1 upper day 2 lower and so on.
i was thinking about doing a four day spilt over 10 weeks for bulkinging up and eating about 3500-4000 cals a day, going at 2,1,2 tempo what would you recommend?thanks

Then you go to the restaurants like Animations which was unreal, our servers Ronaldo and the others were incredible, they were great, they made sure to be very attentive to us, they loved my son, the second night they sang Happy Birthday to him too. All the places we ate we're amazing, Cabanas, Enchanted Garden, The Royal Palace, Flo's, it was all great food and service, the best was the dessert I had at the Royal Palace was the Tahitian Vanilla Creme Brulee, I had 2 because it was that good! I would probably have had more, but didn't want to be a piggy or greedy, but it was awesome!
The shows were awesome, my son loved the kids club, he had so much fun! It gave me time for me to go shopping and walk around the ship, look at the pics we took, we truly had an amazing trip and will go back again for sure, the ports of call were great, that island Castaway Cay was so great, the BBQ was delicious and plentiful, the food was great, the shops were pretty nice, not too expensive either, I use the cup for coffee or tea nightly, the perfect size for my tea! The shirt is great, I wear it quite a bit, it's very comfy! On the whole, that was the most awesome trip ever, pirate night was great, those cups that light up were great!
If there's only one negative thing that I can say is that the prices for souvenirs as well as the photos were a bit too expensive, there were also too many teenagers in the adult area, so it made it a bit uncomfortable for some people like myself, if it were geared more for older adults it would be great, that's why you have a teen club, let the teens stay there and let the adults enjoy themselves comfortably.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is in court this week over allegations of tax evasion that stem from his second spell as Portsmouth manager between 2005-2008. The prosecution alleges that former Portsmouth (and now current Sheffield Wednesday) chairman Milan Mandaric made several substantial payments to offshore accounts in Monaco owned by Harry Redknapp in a deliberate attempt to circumvent Redknapp paying British income taxes on a portion of his wages totalling $295,000.
$295,000 seems like chump change compared to the amount of money that floats around in football (it's less than what Spurs striker Emmanuel Adebayor makes in nine days), but it's the sort of money that gets Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs slightly worked up. Don't expect football to have much of an influence on the trial, however - Judge Anthony Leonard told potential jurors this morning:
It can prejudice if you hold such allegiances or prejudices towards clubs that the defendants were or are presently involved with. This case will attract publicity. My advice is that you must not read or listen to these reports.
Paying money to offshore accounts seems dodgy at best and it's difficult to see how exactly this wasn't deliberate tax evasion (full disclosure: the Tottenham fan that works on SB Nation Soccer is on vacation this week and thus will never read this article), but Redknapp's lawyers will fight tooth and claw to try to get him off the hook. Being found guilty would be the sort of publicity that Redknapp, angling to manage England after Fabio Capello departs this summer, will be desperately hoping to avoid.
PS: If you're a juror in this case and you're reading this, you're a naughty person. Don't read it!

Another winter storm is headed our way this weekend.
A cold front will move in on Saturday, bringing with it what the National Weather Service is calling "a longer-duration event," with precipitation that will begin Sunday and not end until Tuesday morning.
The NWS currently is saying that we should expect a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain.
Strong winds also are expected throughout the storm, the NWS said.
The highs for next week will be in the 20s; the average high temperatures for the first week of March are in the upper 40s.

The greatest Houston Texan of all time made history on Sunday night.
You'll enjoy Matt Bowen's dissection of Andre Johnson's TD in Denver last week.
Andre Johnson made Pacman Jones look quite the fool in Houston's win over the Bengals in the playoffs. Matt Bowen from the National Football Post explains how he did it.
What do Texans fans expect from Andre Johnson in 2012?
Two weeks after it happened, we learn that Andre Johnson had his knee scoped. A non-issue, or something to worry about for Texans fans?
As Texans fans await their team's game in Baltimore tomorrow, how are they coping?
With the first playoff game in franchise history this afternoon, how are Texans fans handling the wait?
Reliant Stadium is going to be nuts on Saturday afternoon, but it will EXPLODE when they introduce Andre Johnson.
A special edition of "Three and Out," in that I actually take a look at exactly how stupid I really am.
The Texans are going to the playoffs. Yes, those Texans. And now you can find out what playoff seed the Texans could see without all those messy variables.

Pumpkin Pecan Cake Recipe
Packed with warm pumpkin flavor and spices, this lightened-up version of Shirley Dellinger's recipe baked up even taller than the original! But our Test Kitchen brought it in at just about half the fat, saturated fat and cholesterol—with 187 fewer calories per slice! That's a sweet success Shirley's family in Elwood, Indiana can savor.
- 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
- 2 cups sugar
- 1-1/2 cups canola oil
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- In a large bowl, beat the pumpkin, sugar, oil and eggs until well blended. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into pumpkin mixture until blended. Stir in pecans.
- Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
- For frosting, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat until smooth. Frost cake. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 18 servings.

I have made this cake 5 or 6 times. I have never seen people rave about a dessert this much. I bake them as cupcakes now because it is easier to serve. Everyone alwys wants 2 or 3. Definitely reccommend!

This doesn't look like a makeover to me--31g of fat & over 500 calories? I'd cut the oil in half & sub. some egg whites for whole eggs as well.

What started as a typical day in the Capital City turned into quite a scene, ending with the explosion of home-schooling materials.
"I have a little bit of adrenaline in me right now, hearing fire in the hole and an explosion shook me up a little bit," said Jonas Eno-Van Fleet, a witness to the scene after looking out his work window in Montpelier.
"I literally had a front row seat, balcony seating to the whole thing," said Eno-Van Fleet. He works across the street from the TD Bank. He knew something was wrong when he spotted the bomb squad blocking off Main and Langdon streets.
"They never evacuated the building so I figured I'd stick around," said Eno-Van Fleet.
"Witnesses say the package was there but they don't know who or how it got there," said Chief Tony Facos of the Montpelier Police Department.
Thursday afternoon someone left a suspicious package on the windowsill of the bank. After recent protests outside the bank, police didn't take chances. "We've been vigilant since probably 9/11, and I don't know that any other instance would raise that any higher. We're going to do our best to keep people safe," said Captain Dan Troidle of the Vermont State Police.
The bomb squad X-rayed the package, and then sent a robot to blow open the suspicious package with a specialized water cannon. Once it blew apart, it turned out it was a false alarm; just school books delivered in a sealed package. "I heard fire in the hole. I ducked and ran into the other room heard the explosion which apparently was them opening the package and there were books on the street," said Eno-Van Fleet.
Blocked off streets quickly reopened. Montpelier police say the sender and receiver of the package have both been identified and say it did not warrant any further investigation.

2 Questions from the Community
The Moen 3520 can control volume by pulling the stem out, then temperature by moving it from side to side.
Does this control volume and temperature, and is it by rotating the valve or pushing in and out.
A. The Moen 3520 can control volume by pulling the stem out, then temperature by moving it from side to side.
Many of the Moen single handle shower trims can work with the Moen 3520 rough-in. If you search Moentrol in the search box you can look through the options, and if you see anything you like, just look in the spec sheet to confirm it will work.
I don't know what style you are looking for, but the T3112 is a pretty simple shower trim that works with it.
what single handle shower trim goes with this specific roughin?

Notes: Ortiz moved to bullpen
Right-hander is 3-4 with a 5.75 ERA this season
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins bullpen got a bit stronger on Monday due to a new addition -- Ramon Ortiz.Twins manager Ron Gardenhire and pitching coach Rick Anderson met with Ortiz on Monday morning to inform him of his move from the rotation to the 'pen. The struggles of Ortiz in the rotation have been well documented, as the right-hander was 3-4 with a 5.75 ERA in 10 games. After starting off the year strong, Ortiz tallied a 10.97 ERA in the month of May and the Twins were 1-6 in his last seven starts. Telling Ortiz of the move wasn't an easy thing for Gardenhire, but he said the pitcher took the news well. "He's ready to help the team any way he can," Gardenhire said. "That's exactly what he told us. He said, 'Whatever you guys need me to do, that's what I'll do.' He gives everything he has all the time. He pitches for himself and his teammates, and he'll do that out of the bullpen just like he did as a starter." Despite having an off-day Thursday, Gardenhire said the club will not skip a spot in the rotation and will call up a pitcher to start Friday's game at Oakland. The expectation is it will be right-hander Kevin Slowey who gets the call. The move will come before the team leaves Thursday for a six-game West Coast trip. Slowey pitched Friday for Triple-A Rochester and threw eight scoreless innings in the start. In nine starts for the Red Wings this season, Slowey is 6-2 with a 1.54 ERA. "The people down there, would be set to throw [on Friday]," Gardenhire said. "So, we'll just give them the ball, rather than having them pitch another start down there. It's a good chance to keep everybody where they are at and give guys an extra day. It always refreshes them." The plan now is to try to get Ortiz back on track in the bullpen. The move comes at a time when the team could really use the extra arm in relief. With Matt Guerrier moved to late-inning situations, the Twins were without a proven innings-eater in the 'pen. Over the past few games, the Twins have kept an extra starter in the 'pen to have in case of an emergency. Now that situation will not have to occur, as Ortiz will provide the club with an arm that can extend out. "You need those long guys in case you run into problems," Gardenhire said. "He can be a big plus for us out there. I know he wants to be a starter and all, but he wants to help us. And that's what he'll do, wherever he is." As for whether Ortiz could regain his rotation spot at some point this year, Gardenhire did not rule that out as an option. "If somebody else struggles bad, and he's throwing the ball good, we can always do that," Gardenhire said. "But for now, he's in the bullpen." Moving back: The initial hope had been that Joe Mauer might be ready to return for one of the games against the White Sox. Mauer did run the bases for the first time Monday morning, but he has still been experiencing some lingering tightness in his leg. The team hopes that by pushing his running regimen a bit over the next two days, Mauer could be ready to return Friday for the West Coast trip. "He's still not there yet, but he's getting closer," Gardenhire said. "It's not quite there where he can take a full swing and just totally blow out of there and run, but we're really close."

Friendship and Memories are made at Sonshine Preschool by Sonshine Preschool - almost 4 years ago
"Each May the city where our preschool is located has a May Day Parade where all of the schools in the district as well as the clubs, organizations etc. are involved in. The preschoolers held fishing polls, smores and sang songs while riding on their make-shift "tent/camping experience" of a float. Wearing t-shirts by CustomInk in primary colors we won first place for the preschool division of the parade. We had a wonderful experience with CustomInk and will use them again and again. In fact we just ordered back to school t-shirts and the kids love them!! Thank you CustomInk!!!"

AP's Bauer Obsesses Over Walker Fundraising, Ignores Union Money and Resources
Though he hasn't been alone in his applying the campaign fundraisng double standard in Wisconsin's recall election, Scott Bauer at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, has a particularly odious item today about the dollars raised by each side. It's particularly odious because the word "unions" appears only once -- as the target of Walker, who has, as Bauer sees it, "rocketed to stardom after taking on public sector unions." There is no mention of the millions of union dollars which have poured into Wisconsin from all over the country, which, thankfully, someone else has quantified.
Bauer also continues to bitterly cling to the notion, concerning which yours truly has been nagging him since February of last year, that "most Wisconsin public workers lost their collective bargaining rights" as a result of Walker-supported legislation which passed in the Legislature last year -- as if they no longer have any collective bargaining rights at all. This has been and continues to be a flat-out falsehood. The first five paragraphs of Bauer's bombast follow the jump (bolds are mine throughout this post):
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
Wisconsin's Walker raises $31M in face of recal
Republican Gov. Scott Walker has raised about $31 million since he took office 17 months ago, including a remarkable $5.9 million in the last five weeks reported to Wisconsin regulators Tuesday.
The first-term Republican reported his latest donations a week before he faces Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in a recall election that is also a rematch of the 2010 governor's race. The state elections board predicted Tuesday that turnout would be between 60 percent and 65 percent, nearing levels normally seen in a presidential election.
Barrett, who was bound to fundraising limits of no more than $10,000 from any one donor, reported an impressive $3.4 million over the past five weeks. He raised about $4.2 million since joining the race at the end of March and had $1.5 million cash on hand.
In his 2010 campaign, Walker set the state's fundraising record by bringing in $11 million. But he has nearly tripled that since by playing off his national conservative credentials as he rocketed to stardom after taking on public sector unions.
That fight, in which most Wisconsin public workers lost their collective bargaining rights, triggered the recall. Wisconsin law allowed Walker, as the subject of the recall, to raise unlimited amounts to pay for any debts he incurred over a nearly five-week period.
That $31 million sounds impressive and somehow sinister, which seems to have been Bauer's point, until you look at what unions and "progressive" opponents of Walker have raised.
An April 22 Newsmax interview of Walker report his estimate that, in the words of reporters David A. Patten and Kathleen Walter, "big labor will invest as much as $60 million in its bid to defeat him." I'll bet that if Scott Bauer could disprove that contention, he would have in an AP report somewhere along the way. I don't think he has, because I don't think he can -- and Walker's $60 million estimate may not even include union officials who don't really have a day job but instead can spend weeks campaigning door to door and business to business. So he is instead pretending that the union funding doesn't exist. That way he makes Walker look the richly-funded heavyweight. How pathetic.
As to Bauer's ongoing claim about how "public workers lost their collective bargaining rights," here's a reminder of what he wrote in February of last year:
In addition to eliminating collective-bargaining rights, the legislation also would make public workers pay half the costs of their pensions and at least 12.6 percent of their health care coverage – increases Walker calls "modest" compared with those in the private sector.
... Unions still could represent workers, but could not seek pay increases above those pegged to the Consumer Price Index unless approved by a public referendum. Unions also could not force employees to pay dues and would have to hold annual votes to stay organized.
My response at the time:
Geez, Scott, if "unions could still represent workers," they still have "collective-bargaining rights" — perhaps not as extensive as before, but they still have 'em. Zheesh.
The response still stands, while Scott Bauer continues to misreport reality.

Every Hollywood movie about the Unions? As a kid, you were rooting for them to "over-come" the odds and beating the "MAN". As you get older, you realize, what a sham! Bunch of criminal bosses! Big fat bully thugs with a bat milking your hard earned tax dollars to line their own pockets to increase the price of goods, their own retirement, and services (in government union jobs).

Great tshirt
Submitted by dmntd1 on Wed, 05/30/2012 - 8:29pm.
I saw a union electrician wearing a tshirt today that had the big ghostbusters sign over "right to work". Now, I KNOW there's a political message to that, but it still looks like he's saying that there shouldn't be a right to work... period. Oh, and on the back, it said "WE ARE ONE!". So, no more crying about the lazy union members not being representative... they are, after all, ONE.
We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.

the reason democrats and the MSM hate Citizens United
Submitted by ohio granny on Wed, 05/30/2012 - 10:27pm.
The democrats and MSM, as well as the unions hate the Citizens United ruling because it gives the republicans a much more level playing field. The democrats and unions have for years coordinated their money and feet on the ground, all to elect democrats. The democrats never thought the republicans would ever be able to compete financially with them.
Wisconsin is a perfect example of exactly why the ruling was the correct one. If not for the Citizens United ruling Scott Walker would not have a chance to win. With all the money and people the unions are pouring into the state there is no way Walker would have had a chance to win this recall. .
I say thank god for the ruling. Go Scott Walker and go Wisconsin. May the good guys (republicans) win.

WNEM TV5 has learned Stephen Ashley Jr. has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the 2011 shooting death of Lonnie Houston.
The trial lasted only a week and jurors reached the verdict after deliberating for about two hours.
Twenty-one-year-old Ashley Jr. has been jailed since police arrested him on Nov. 16, 2011, and charging him with killing Houston, a father of five.
Prosecutors said Ashley torched Houston's body inside a car along the Saginaw River in Zilwaukee Township. Houston's badly burned body was found in the back seat of a Cadillac along the banks of the Saginaw River.
An autopsy showed Houston, 27, had been shot twice in the head before being dumped in the Cadillac's back seat.
The flames were so intense crews were forced to use a "fire fighting foam" to put it out.
Originally the case was handled by the Saginaw County Sheriff's Department, but the case was transferred to the Bay County Sheriff's Department when it was discovered Houston had been shot and killed in Bay County's Hampton Township.
When he is sentenced, Ashley Jr. will spend the rest of his life behind bars without the possibility of parole.
Two other men charged in the shooting death are Kaleb Rosin and Brett Vaughn. Rosin and Vaughn are scheduled to face trial February 12.

YESTERDAY'S rain didn't dampen the spirits of any of the hundreds of youngsters who turned out at Waratah sportsground to secure the signature of one of their sporting heroes.
Rugby league legends Nathan Hindmarsh and Matt Cooper joined Brad Fittler, fresh off his cameo for the Sydney Roosters in the Auckland Nines, at yesterday's Orange junior rugby league sign on day as a part of the Hogs for Homeless charity ride.
The ride, which begun with a sleepout at ANZ Stadium after the World Club Challenge last Saturday night, raises money for Father Riley's Youth Off The Streets - a charity based around helping youths who are homeless, drug dependant or recovering from abuse.
As his role on Channel Nine's The Footy Show suggests, Fittler wasn't short of a joke.
"Forget anything else, we've brought the rain," Fittler laughed, as heavy droplets threatened to smudge the newly signed autographs.
"I keep hearing the country needs the rain, and now nearly everywhere we've gone it's rained."
The tour has already visited several rural communities before roaring into Orange, including Forbes, Albury, Jindabyne and Moruya and Fittler commended all the towns for their support, before imploring everyone to get behind the cause.
"I've worked with Father Riley for a while," he said.
"It's such a good cause, and it's great to see so many kids out here today. We weren't expecting anywhere near this many."
Last year's ride raised over $40,000 and Fittler said he is hoping this year's group can eclipse the mark set in 2013.
Despite focusing on the charity work, the former great five-eighth suggested he may slip on the Roosters tri-colours again in 2015.
"We'll see what happens I think," he laughed.
Despite showing glimpses of vintage Fittler in the Nines, including one 60 metre runaway, intercept try, he said his body was feeling every one of its 42 years.
"Last time I told the story it was actually a 93 metre try," he laughed.
"The body pulled up a bit dusty but it was great. My kids had never seen me play before, so to score a try in front of them was just icing on the cake. I was thinking about bringing out the old step, but I was worried something might snap."
The Hogs for Homeless ride moves on to Cessnock, Tamworth, Tenterfield, Lennox Head, Gold Coast and Port Macquarie in the coming days, before returning, and completing the journey at ANZ Stadium next Thursday.

I'm going to ask you to do something that may be very difficult for you, but I think it may be the only way to get some adults out there to open their eyes to a very real dilemma our schools and our young people face daily. So, please trust me and sincerely do what I am asking you to do.
I want you to imagine, for just this space of time, that your child has either admitted to you that they are gay, lesbian, or questioning their sexuality or that you suspect that they are, even though they may not have directly confessed this to you. Forget for now the other emotions that would probably overwhelm you at this news, and focus on the fear; the fear of what such a revelation and its life style will mean to your child due to the intolerance and hatred they will surely face because of who they are. Let that fear settle in for just a moment.
Now imagine sending them to school…
Imagine sending them to a school in Minnesota's Anoka Hennepin School District, where teachers have been silenced by the district's Sexual Orientation Curriculum Policy, or their "neutrality policy" which states that"Anoka Hennepin staff shall remain neutral on matters regarding sexual orientation." Think about the message this policy sends to your child; what they are feeling is so bad that it cannot even be acknowledged, let alone discussed, at school or even privately with their teachers.
And imagine the message it sends to the other students in the district. Connect the dots, just as many of these students will, that, since even the mention of LGBT students is off-limits at school, students like your child should also be off-limits. Feel the intolerance and hatred growing in these students whose minds have been closed off to the possibility that students like your child have not chosen this path but were born as they are. Imagine sending your child into that hostile environment everyday; an environment that should be safe and supportive of all students in attendance. Feel the fear that parents like you must feel every single day as you send your child off to that misguided intolerance and hatred.
Now, let me paint a different picture for you. Imagine sending your gay, lesbian, or sexually questioning child to a school which openly acknowledges the differences in all of us and treats such differences with candor and respectful tolerance. Imagine an environment that does not make your child feel that they are off-limits; rather it draws them in to a community of diversity and celebrates those things that make us all so unique. Imagine your child hearing the simple message that being born gay, lesbian, or transgender was no more their choice than the color of their eyes or the shape of their nose.
Dr. Steve Perry, CNN Education Contributor and founder and principal of the Capital Preparatory Magnet School in Hartford, Connecticut, stated it so succinctly in a recent interview with Dr. Drew when he said, "When we begin to make children feel like there's something wrong with them, as if they can be deprogrammed for what it is that they're feeling, then what we make them feel is that they are somehow marginalized. But we also make the other group feel emboldened, and then we pit the two groups against one another. What we have to do as a school is teach that there needs to be a safe space. And as long as your expression of who you are doesn't impede upon my expression of who I am, then we have ourselves an amazing academic experience."
Imagine that your child has admitted to you that they are gay, lesbian, or questioning their sexuality, or that you suspect that they are. Feel the fear, and ask yourself honestly, which kind of school would you want to send your child to? Which kind of school is going to treat your child with the respect and tolerance that they deserve? And which kind of school will teach your child and all children to celebrate the diversity they will surely encounter throughout their lives?
If your answer is what I suspect it is, don't we owe it to all of our children-straight, gay, lesbian, or undecided-to create the kind of schools that Dr. Perry speaks of?
Perry went on to say, "Our job as educators is to tell children that the world is big and beautiful, and that they can embrace diversity and not choose a side, simply because they're learning about it."
Imagine that kind of school…

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida State literally went heavy on defense in another highly ranked recruiting class pulled in by coach Jimbo Fisher and his staff.
The Seminoles landed two of the nation's top-ranked defensive linemen Wednesday in 290-pound defensive end Mario Edwards, Jr., and 310-pound defensive tackle Eddie Goldman. They also picked up the country's fastest prep player in receiver Marvin Bracy, who recorded the fastest 55 meters time in the world last month when he was clocked at 6.08 seconds. The Orlando two-sport star would miss the beginning of Florida State's fall practice if he qualifies for the U.S. Olympic team this summer.
Other Seminole signees include quarterback Sean McGuire from Seton Hall Prep in West Orange, New Jersey and tight end Christo Kourtzidis from Lutheran High School in Orange, Calif.

The Awesome Card
I'm sick of being treated like an idiot. Last weekend I rented a boat with some friends, and we were forced to sit through a 15 minute talk about boat safety. It was boring and slightly condescending, but tolerable. After the talk I asked if I'd have to listen to it again if I rented a boat next weekend. He said I would have to.
On the highway I am forced to drive at the speed limit even though I'm a better driver and have a better performing car than most people.
When I call Sprint to upgrade my service I am forced to say "no, no, no thanks, no" while they try to upsell me on ringtones and other such digital garbage.
If I ruled the world (which I, of course, plan to do some day), there would be the TDoA (Tynan's Department of Awesomeness), which would be responsible for evaluating people's awesomeness and handing out certification cards depending on one's results.
Awesomeness would comprise of many factors, but the main ones would be :
- Common sense
- Intelligence
- Aptitude to sue someone else for something that is one's own fault (i.e. McDonalds for giving out hot coffee
Awesome people would have a lot of great priviledges. We'd be able to sit in the back section of the airplane and not listen to the idiotic safety demonstration.
We could swim in swimming pools after they were closed.
The plastic bags given to us wouldn't warn us of the unnatural danger of putting our heads in them.l
Our movie times would be adjusted so that we wouldn't have to sit through the cartoon fox telling us to turn off our cell phones.
There would be three bathrooms : Men's, Women's, and Awesome's. Awesome's can be used by men or women, since there's no reason we can't all get along. Also, since only Awesome people were in the Awesome bathroom, the toilets would be clean and unclogged, and there would be a minimum of misspelled erotica scratched into the stalls.
Awesome people would be allowed to run red lights if there obviously wasn't anyone else coming and they used their blinkers properly.
Sounds pretty great, doesn't it? Vote Tynan for President in 2032.

The Madison County School Board is reviewing its first sweeping drug policy. Students caught with drugs or under the influence in school would face penalties - and the policy is harsher for mountaineer athletes.
The proposed drug policy punishes students with suspension and lays out a set of procedures to get students help to get clean.
The school board is reviewing its first comprehensive drug policy. Athletes from sixth grade up would sign a drug-free pledge and face random testing each season.
"People look up to us because we're athletes," said junior Austin Kelliher, who plays golf and baseball for the high school. "So we have to carry ourselves around the school grounds and show we're good kids, honest, have integrity."
That's why student athletes could be subject to the toughest drug policy on campus.
"We're not going to tolerate it. It's going to be harmful to your performance both academically and athletically," said Madison County High School Principal Mike Sisler.
Superintendent Matthew Eberhardt said, "Twenty percent are going to be tested. It will be private, it will be confidential. We're hoping to prove that kids are healthy and drug-free."
Any student caught with drugs or under the influence during school would be suspended for 10 days and directed into a student assistance program to help them stop using.
"Suspensions aren't going to get a kid off drugs," Eberhardt said. "We know that. It's not meant to be punitive; it's meant to be assistive - to get kids off drugs. It's the healthy thing."
Athletes who fail to comply with the drug policy would be suspended from sports for 365 days.
The school board is expected to vote on the policy at its meeting October 14.

New numbers released Monday by the Centers for Disease Controlshow that Americans are living longer than ever.
The average American lifespan is now 78.7 years, U.S. News and World Report says, and a child born in 2009 can expect to live to be 78.5 years. That's an increase of 0.4 years of life expectancy over a child born in 2008.
Data from 2008 put the average life expectancy for males at 75.6 years; it rose to 75 years by 2009. Females saw similar gains, with increase from 80.6 to 80.9 years.

After Hoboken, N.J., suffered several ruptures water mains recently, Mayor Dawn Zimmer is blaming the city's aging water infrastructure. She said it desperately needs to be updated, but a 19-year-old contract with United Water Company is preventing that.
Zimmer said a prior administration entered into the agreement with United Water in 1994 to help plug budget gaps. The city has gotten $13 million out of the deal. However, the agreement extends through 2024, and the mayor said that is financially hurting the city. She said the contract is "unbelievably shortsighted" and delayed infrastructure improvements in favor of plugging budget gaps, the AP reported.
She wants to buy out the agreement and renegotiate with the water company.
But United Water issued a statement saying it is not interested in a buyout and that it would like to talk with the mayor to "set forth a comprehensive capital improvement plan."

I knew that dedicated e-readers would die off. What I didn't see happening was that the e-reader vendors would also see that happening and start transforming their Android Linux-powered e-reader devices into tablets.
Sources at Amazon tell me that the company will indeed produce a mass-market Android tablet. I can't tell you its size, pricing, when it's expected to ship, or anything else of substance. The one thing I do know is that, like the Kindle, it will run Linux with a Java-based interface. In short, this new tablet Kindle, let's call it "KinTablet," will run Android.
Amazon developers are already working on an app store for this new device. Based on the wording of the developer agreement, I suspect Amazon might even launch the KinTablet in time for the 2010 holiday season.
We already know that Barnes & Noble is releasing their Nook take on a tablet, the Nook Color, on Nov. 19. Anybody want to bet me that Amazon will announce their next step Kindle on the same day or the day before?
Will these hurt iPad sales? I doubt it. What I think will happen is that these newly evolved e-reader/tablets, along with the other Linux tablets, will take over the lower price points. We already know that, despite the iPad's wildly successful sales, both the Kindle and Nook have continued to sell extremely well. I see no reason to think that these e-reader/tablets won't continue to sell extremely well by adding more features and staying in about their current price range.
So, it appears to me, that by a round-about path, good, mainstream Linux-based tablets will arrive in time for this holiday season after all. Hurray!
