Since 1861, the Buffalo Society of Natural Science has culled more than 700,000 specimens and artifacts from around the world. These treasures now reside in the Buffalo Museum of Science which opened its doors in 1929. The museum allows visitors to explore anthropology, paleontology, and zoology, with an emphasis on the Greater Niagara region.
Special exhibits inspire curiousity in guests by exploring the world around them through hands-on education. Nano, for example, explains the basics of nanoscience and the way it impacts our lives. Opened in March 2012, the Explore YOU health science studio teaches visitors about their own bodies as they study recent medical technologies that help keep the human race healthy. Our Marvelous Earth, on the other hand, focuses on geological phenomena, extreme weather, and alternative forms of energy via displays and interactive exhibits where guests will have a chance to experience tornado-force winds. The newest exhibit to explore is In Motion which motivates children to learn how things move by interacting with gravity machines, car races, and a fluid dynamics simulator. Elsewhere, Seymour (a 10-foot tall mastodon) and Stanley (a 16-foot long albertosaurus) give kids a glimpse of some really, really, really old bones. For a more relaxing experience, visitors can check out the National Geographic 3D Cinema presented by M&T Bank for rotating titles. During the next few years, the museum will continue to add new exhibits and improve others with interactive technologies.
Sculpted into the sprawling meadows of the Frederick Law Olmsted Parks, the nine-hole South Park Olmsted Golf Course rises and falls across 2,876 yards of immaculate greenery. The fairway chain wreathes South Park lake, which comes into play on four holes, including a forced-carry tee shot on hole four, which could prove perilous for any golf ball without an unrequited love for marine biology. Delaware Park Olmsted Golf Course's 5,359 yards features open fairways and very few hazards throughout the relatively short layout. Medium-size greens await players at the end of each short-grass corridor, challenging golfers with small target areas and tricky breaking putts.
Before each round, players can warm up their short game at the practice green, which facilitates practice for chipping, putting, and Maypole dancing around flagsticks. An onsite pro shop keeps clubbers equipped with the latest in fairway fashions and gear, and a golf house fuels powerful drives with course-side eats and refreshments.
Since opening its star-dappled doors in 1964, the Whitworth Ferguson Planetarium has delighted sky-gazing enthusiasts through effulgent re-creations of the night sky and educational journeys through the solar system with its 24-foot-diameter dome, capable of illuminating 4,000 stars. Celestial explorations have included shows such as Uranus and Neptune: Planets of the Telescope Age, which explores the planets and their improbable journey from drifting stardust to two of the solar system's gas giants. Attractions such as Shorter Nights: Passage Into Spring reveal the dazzling sights visible in the local Buffalo sky in the buildup to the equinox, and Pluto and the Other Dwarfs: Smaller Objects of the Solar System guide sojourners on a quest to view the celestial orb as it hides, weeping over its stripped status as a planet, behind Saturn's rings.
A massive glass dome reminiscent of the Victorian Crystal Palace and verdant plant life stretching their green leaves toward the sun attract visitors to the Buffalo Botanical Gardens. The gardens span 11 acres and include three glass domes and nine greenhouses full of re-created tropical and subtropical climates. In the Fern House and tropical rainforest, banana trees surround a 30-foot waterfall as large dinosaur topiaries roam across a backdrop of hanging ferns.
Called a living museum, the botanical gardens is dedicated to enriching lives with nature and teaching guests to appreciate the natural systems and diverse plant life the earth sustains. Visitors can soak up Mother Nature?s splendor in addition to manmade wonders such as the 67-foot-tall Palm Dome.
Like the best detectives, Naked Buffalo Tours roots out the hidden facts shoved between cobblestones and floorboards to reveal the truth behind the city's underground activities. Author, owner, and guide Michael F. Rizzo first developed a love of historical research after purchasing an 1893 home on Buffalo's west side. Now he investigates the city's architectural and social backstory to inject forgotten tales into his tours, as well as in books. His six walking tours travel through different neighborhoods to illuminate sites and stories of past mob activity. Patrons wander near gangsters' homes, historic Erie Canal brothels, and renowned sites, such as the Magaddino Memorial Chapel and city hall.
Sail Buffalo Sailing School's nationally accredited instructors captain a fleet of boats, teaching novices the art of wind wrangling while fostering community for seasoned aqua explorers. During the two-hour picnic sail and lesson, a crew of up to four launch onto Lake Erie for hands-on wind lassoing. Instructors lecture on general ship-savvy and negotiating with 18th-century pirates, before coaching each student through a turn at the helm. As first-timers confront wind gusts, instructors keep the atmosphere relaxed and positive, helping students recover and learn from mistakes. Meanwhile, crewmates soak in secondhand sail know-how and build camaraderie while crunching through BYO picnic fare and determining the best way to build a secret underwater fort.

Partially Serrated/ Double Tooth Saw
I would like to preface this review by saying that…
Price Paid: $25
I would like to preface this review by saying that I own the Hunter version of this knife, the only differences being that it is not black, the serration on the blade is not present and it has a gut hook included.
I love this knife! Right out the box it shaved my face without a single nick. The saw also works like a charm and although the handle feels light it is tough! Great addition to any hunting or even camping pack! The saw can function in so many ways, from being a bone saw to collecting firewood.
The knife is big, but still just the right length for wonderful blade control! I would say that for any price, this knife is unbeatable.

Plastic water bottles at Sowams School in Barrington are being filled with "dimes for dreams" – about $100 worth in each 16-ounce container.
"It's the Helping Hands Project for second-graders at the school this year," said Jessica McDonnell, the second-grade teacher coordinating the project. It started on Monday, Feb. 6, and ends this Friday, Feb. 17.
Each bottle will go to the Kids for Wish program of the Make-A-Wish Foundation that grants wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions.
"We asked the pupils to do a good deed or a chore at home for $1, to be paid in dimes," said McDonnell. "And then bring the money to school.
The more good deeds done, the more dimes collected. Each good deed is posted on a paper cloud cutout in the hallway near the office just inside the front entrance.
Among the good deeds written on the clouds so far:
- Cleaned room and cleared the table
- Helped to cook
- Fed the cat and dog
- Set the table and washed dishes
- Cooked for the Super Bowl
- Played nicely with my brother
- Loaded and unloaded the dishwasher
- Babysat baby brother
- Filled the firewood holder
- Cleaned dad's workshop
- Brought groceries into the house
- Read to my brother
- Cleaned the fishbowl
Dimes also are being dropped into the bottles from anyone in the school who wants to make a dream come true, said McDonnell.
Driving by Sowams School?
Stop by before the end of the week. The pupils will be happy to drop some of your loose change into the water bottles.

The growing acceptance of the SOA approach to enterprise applications has reopened an old IT wound: the sorry state of data in most enterprises. In the 1990s, the data warehouse and the enterprise repository were trumpeted as the solution for getting the entire enterprise on the same page, but these systems quickly became unwieldy dumping grounds, much like the cavernous Indiana Jones warehouse in which the Ark of the Covenant was stored to keep it safely out of reach.
Today, a new approach — often labeled master data management — is emerging, one that takes a modular, orchestration-based approach to rationalizing data strewn across the enterprise in various formats and repositories.
Similar to a complete SOA deployment, however, a complete master data management effort is a huge undertaking, one that takes years and consumes a lot of resources with marginal interim benefit. "You just can't shut down the enterprise and do this major business re-engineering," says Don DePalma, chief researcher at IT consultancy Common Sense Advisory. So what is IT to do?
Increasingly, companies are revisiting a mid-1990s approach — the data mart, now often called a system of record — that fell by the wayside during the data warehouse and repository crazes. Creating a system of record is a good way to start down the path of an enterprisewide master data management system. It helps IT get a handle on key data, making it more available to enterprise users and providing a demonstrable ROI in the process.
Data warehouses and enterprise repositories shunted aside the data mart of yore. In most cases, the data mart couldn't do the job of being a timely data container, DePalma says. "It was a snapshot, so it was outdated," he notes. But data marts can now be near-real-time repositories, thanks to a variety of advances in the intervening decade. These include standardization of data exchange around ODBC, JDBC, and SQL 99; increased use of Web interfaces for transmittal of real-time information; and better data management tools from vendors such as Business Objects and Informatica, he says.
The result is the improved data mart, or system of record, built using software from companies such as Business Objects, IBM, Informatica, or Oracle. "This is the next step to getting cleansed, standard information of the key information that is important," DePalma says.
From point solution to architecture
Nationwide Insurance started a data-rationalization effort two years ago, after the CFO decided that having multiple ledger systems — inherited through multiple acquisitions — was interfering with the company's ability to see the complete financial picture.
Although the insurer could have considered a broad data architecture effort, it had a culture of departmental independence, so it made more sense to solve a specific need than to convince the organization at large to collaborate for an unclear benefit, says Vikas Gopal, director of enterprise financial applications at Nationwide. "On the financial side, there was a realization of the pain that led to the recognition of the need for consistent data translation, which in turn led to a need for data governance," he says.
With the CFO's mandate in hand, IT and business analysts dived into all 240 ledger-related systems and the data stored in each and worked with executive management to decide what the enterprisewide ledger system needed.

With the advent of Sunday's winter storm, the potential for precipitation to fall not only as snow exists, but also for periods of rain, freezing rain and sleet to move across the state.
Snow and rain are widely understood forms of precipitation, but often times freezing rain and sleet have people confused as to what they are and what makes them different.
Between the two, freezing rain is considered as the more dangerous because it often immediately leads to very slippery roadways. It can also begin to build up as ice on power lines and tree limbs. During periods of heavy icing, freezing rain is often blamed for power outages.
Sleet can also yield slick roadways, but often accumulates much in the way snow does. Interestingly, the term sleet is used almost exclusively in the United States. More often in the rest of the world sleet is referred to as what it actually is: ice pellets.
In deciphering the difference between the two, the most important variable to investigate is what form the precipitation is as it is falling through the air.
Freezing rain falls in the atmosphere as a liquid. It freezes only when it comes in contact with surfaces that are at or below freezing. When freezing rain occurs, an ice glaze can develop easily on any surface it touches. In many cases, that would be roads and sidewalks and is one reason why bridges and overpasses can become so dangerous when freezing rain threatens.
Sleet falls in the atmosphere as a solid pellet of ice. That is why it is commonly referred to as ice pellets. The precipitation is in a totally frozen solid state as it travels through the air, and when it hits the ground. Though it may melt after hitting the Earth's surface and re-freeze, that would be after the fact, and what separates it from freezing rain.

So that Houston Dynamo lead lasted all of what? A minute and a half? The scoresheet will show two minutes, but it wasn't even that long. Andre Hainault put the Dynamo in front in the fifth minute, but Sebastien Le Toux answered in the seventh minute for the Philadelphia Union. The result is a 1-1 scoreline and a thrilling start to this playoff game that only figures to get better in the next 83 minutes.
Right after the Dynamo's goal, Michael Farfan got the ball in space on the right. He spotted Le Toux streaking down the middle and delivered a perfect pass, right in stride for the Frenchman. Le Toux finished the season on fire and the in-form forward made no mistake with this chance to level for the Union. He calmly slotted the ball past Tally Hall, who had no chance, and Philadelphia was even.
Thus far, we have a high boot that should have been a red and two goals. How about that for a start to the match?

If you've read Head Kick Legend, you know what kind of coverage we like to offer. If not, Head Kick Legend is a combat sports blog that likes to take a unique perspective on the fight game. We originally started Head Kick Legend to fill in what we saw as a rather massive gap in coverage of kickboxing on the English-speaking side of the internet. This means K-1, It's Showtime!!, Krush and many other shows across the world. On top of that, our work started to bleed over into Japanese MMA, another topic that gets glazed over so easily in English-speaking communities, especially since the fall of PRIDE.
That doesn't mean we have any sort of strict format, so to speak. The primary focus will always be on kickboxing, but we love all MMA as well and when time permits will cover UFC, Strikeforce and everything else under the sun.
So this is where you come in. Maybe you've already written about fighting for other sites and that fell through, maybe you just have strong opinions and you like to share them through taking part in an online community, or maybe you have these opinions and you just keep them to yourself. Regardless, that means you have the desire and you already follow combat sports close enough, so why not start writing?
We are looking for writers who have a passion for fighting as well as a working knowledge and ability to think critically, expressing your informed opinions. So here is the deal; you sign up for Head Kick Legend (if you haven't already, and why wouldn't you?), then start expressing yourself in FanPosts. Remember that this is blogging and posting news, so attribute sources, provide links and quotes where needed and you don't have to write 2,000 words. Usually keeping a post within a few informative paragraphs says a lot more than writing three pages of verbose prose. Make sure to email me (email@example.com) that you are posting FanShots so that I can review and frontpage them. After a few trial posts, we'll discuss the details of becoming a full poster.
So what exactly is HKL looking for?
- Breaking and current US MMA news (UFC, Strikeforce, etc.)
- Breaking and current Japanese MMA news (DREAM, SRC, etc.)
- Breaking and current kickboxing news (K-1, KRUSH, It's Showtime, etc.)
- Editorial pieces (sparingly -- make it good)
We look forward to seeing what you bring to the table

Marty'd: The Michelle Fields Edition
There are few things on the Internet that are as delightful as Marty Rudolf. The Twitter icon fishes for conversation with people from all walks of life, and every now and then, he gets a response. The more entertaining exchanges make it into our feature we like to call, "Marty'd."
One recent example was when Marty asked Buzzfeed's DC Bureau Chief, John Stanton, "Hello John, Describe what it's like Being the DC Bureau Chief at Buzzfeed.com? I'm a Political News Junkie Online!" Stanton took the time to reply that it was "loads of fun," even when he has to edit Evan McMorris-Santoro.
But it was a recent conversation with a Fishbowl Favorite that really caught our attention. Read more

DALLAS — An investigation is under way into another possible case of animal cruelty after a dog was found with a container around its neck.
This time, the object was a coffee can; last summer, it was a large jar.
The challenge now is to save the life of the dog who was, in a way, already being watched over.
Bandages of care now wrap around Java's neck where perhaps the hard symbol of a corroded heart held the Shepherd mix a prisoner in her own body.
Dr. Kathryn Sarpong of the Metro Paws Animal Hospital operated on the dog. "She had pretty extensive wounds here going across her neck about halfway around the neck that went in about four inches," she said.
The dog arrived at the Dallas Animal Services shelter on Sunday with a coffee can around her neck. The vet thinks it must have been there for at least a month.
The staff cut off the can, revealing ingrown cuts on the dog's ear and lower neck.
From there, the Animal Allies of Texas rescue group took Java to Metro Paws Animal Hospital, where surgery Monday cleaned and closed the wounds.
Dallas Animal Services director Jody Jones said the city is looking into this case.
"As far as the investigation goes ... for any cruelty investigation, [we do] a series of examinations, looking at the facts that we have available to us," Jones said.
A citizen found Java in a desolate area off Interstate 20 and St. Augustine Road in far southeast Dallas. But Java was already being watched by a guardian.
Another Shepherd mix named Joshua — also believed to have been abandoned — was found with Java, staying close to her friend.
"Joshua was protecting Java; he was guarding over her," said Melody Hamilton of Animal Allies of Texas said. "That's a companion animal to us."
Challenges remain for both dogs: For Joshua, finding a new home; for Java, fighting infection and shock the next few days to survive, and then a home with new owners who truly love her.
Anyone with information about how the can got on the dog's neck can call Dallas Animal Services at 214-670-8312.
Contact Animal Allies of Texas for updates on Java or to make donations to provide for her care.

December 03, 2012, 11:29 AM — A few years back, picking the protocol to link your computers together into a network was a no-brainer. The servers in a mid-sized data center were wired together using Ethernet. And if you wanted to connect many nodes into a single high performance computer (HPC), you went with InfiniBand.
These days, the choice is blurrier. The two protocols are encroaching on each other's turf, engaging in showdowns for the honor of networking the larger data centers. The latest incarnations of Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, is perfectly capable of supporting larger HPC systems, while InfiniBand is being increasingly used in the performance sensitive enterprise data center.
One rumble to watch is Top500, the twice-annual compilation of the world's fastest supercomputers. In the latest compilation, released in November, InfiniBand served as the primary interconnect for 226 of the top 500 systems. Gigabit Ethernet was used on 188 systems.
A grounding in performance stats is always helpful to enjoy any epic battle: Today, for network aggregation points, there is 100 Gigabit Ethernet, in which each port of a 100 Gigabit Ethernet card can transfer data at 100Gbps. Less expensive 1, 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet network cards are also available for servers and switches. Answering our insatiable need for ever more bandwidth, the Ethernet Alliance has commenced working on 400 Gigabit Ethernet.
The current version of InfiniBand, FDR (Fourteen Data Rate), offers 56Gbps (or 14Gbps per channel, hence the FDR title). The next generation, EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), arriving next year, will offer 100Gbps.
But the numbers tell only part of the story. InfiniBand offers advantages such as a flatter topology, less intrusion on the server processor and lower latency. And Ethernet offers near ubiquity across the market for networking gear.
The power of Ethernet is that it is everywhere, from laptops to the largest data center switches, says Ethernet Alliance Chairman John D'Ambrosia. "There are a multitude of [companies] providing Ethernet solutions. You have a common IP that goes across multiple applications," he says.
Such ubiquity ensures interoperability as well as the lowest costs possible from a large pack of fiercely competing vendors. "You buy something, plug it in and, guess what? It just works. People expect that with Ethernet," D'Ambrosia says. "You can start putting things together. You can mix and match. You get competition and cost-reductions."

CARY — Players and coaches emerged from the locker room tunnel, stepping further onto the field and into one of the most surreal scenes in Carolina RailHawks' franchise history.
Some of the last ones to enter the playing field hadn't been outside since the day before.
The roughly 50 or so fans who were left over from the 3,158 who were at the match's start at 7:08 p.m. Saturday, surrounded the tunnel and defiantly chanted "RailHawks love the rain!"
The statement couldn't be proven right or wrong. Four hours went by without soccer.
In its place was plenty of lightning, rain and newly-sprouted mushrooms on the WakeMed Soccer Park pitch.
The shouts of the diehard fans who hadn't strayed too far from the stadium were all the stadium noise remaining as both sides began their mandatory warm-ups at 11:51 p.m. Saturday.
And at 12:23 a.m. Sunday, the RailHawks picked up where their match against the Minnesota Stars had left off – the 47:29 mark in the second half.
The longest game in franchise history came to its conclusion at 12:58 a.m., with Carolina holding on to a 1-0 win. Cary native Zack Schilawski's goal, scored in the game's 10th minute, held up for five and a half hours.
Stubborn Stars
Per North American Soccer League rules, all three parties – officials and both coaches – must agree to call a match. So long as the second half has started, the match can be called early and hold up as a final.
But Stars coach Manny Lagos wouldn't budge. A win would put Minnesota third in the standings. RailHawks coach Colin Clarke said that the rule needs changing.
"I think somewhere down the line, common sense needs to prevail and the league needs to have a cutoff point. Because, yeah, we can wait here all night, but it's not healthy for the players," Clarke said.
Quirks, tempers take over
Tempers were short in the final 42 minutes of the match, including referee Daniel Radford, who could clearly be heard yelling to Lagos: "That's enough! I'm not going to take it anymore!"
"I thought (the delay) affected (the referee) more than anyone," Clarke said. Carolina captain Kupono Low was shown two yellow cards after the restart, leaving the RailHawks to play a man down for the final 14 minutes.
Rookie Jamie Finch, a recent graduate from the University of Washington, made his pro debut at 12:44 a.m.
RailHawks midfielder Brian Shriver left the game in the 34th minute - 7:41 p.m. - with a lower back injury.
"It was so long ago, he's probably fit now," Clarke said.
The team is offering a buy-one-get-one deal for the next home match on Aug. 4 for the fans who were chased off by the elements.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A display that now can be seen at the Ohio Statehouse pays tribute to a Marine reserve unit based in Columbus that lost 22 Marines and a Navy Corpsman in Iraq back in 2005.
The exhibit on the Lima Company includes boots and dog tags of the fallen Marines and paintings by a Columbus artist.
Fifteen of the 23 who died were from Ohio.
The exhibit in Columbus will be on display until March 17.
The Lima Company Memorial has traveled across the country and has been displayed at nearly 70 sites nationwide.

|Marion Local flies by Lady Jays
|Friday, February 01, 2013 2:08 PM
The Lady Blue Jays (7-10, 1-6 MAC), minus leading scorer Jessica Recker, also lost senior classmate Casey Schnipke to injury late in the first half.
The Flyers (12-6, 4-3 MAC) took the lead from the start on a pair of throws by Allie Thobe just four ticks into the matchup. It was uphill from there. Thobe scored all seven of her points in the period, including a pair of hoop-and-harms, and Cadence Jacobs erupted for 10 of her game-high 15 in the same time span. The visitors used their size and strength inside, as well as their pressure defense, to force seven miscues (25 total) and shoot 9-of-15 from the floor (21-of-41 for the game, 0-of-7 beyond the arc, for 51.2%). When Megan Kuether hit a breakaway layup with 15 seconds showing, the Flyers' lead grew to 25-9.
"We didn't do a good job in the opening period of containing their dribble penetration. We also didn't deal with their inside game very well, nor their transition game," Jays mentor Dan J. Grothouse acknowledged. "They are so strong and physical inside and have some good guards. We did better the last three quarters but the bad quarter we tend to have was the first and we couldn't recover."
Marion canned 7-of-8 singles in the period (22-of-27 for the game for 81.5%). The Jays had two starters: junior Brooke Zuber and classmate Emilie Fischbach; with two fouls and they, as well as others, would battle that the rest of the night.
"It's important for us to get off quickly; that's what you want to do on the road. I always tell the girls that the first and third quarters set the tone," Marion coach Treva Fortkamp noted. "We've gone to more pressure defense ever since the Versailles game and it has worked for us; we want our defense to set the tone. It gets us good looks and the pace of the game that we like; it also gets us in attack mode and we go to the basket well and draw fouls. Offensively, it really helps that we have a lot of balance; you can't focus on just one player."
The Jays did a better job of getting back on defense to take away the Flyer transition in the second stanza, as well as turned the ball over less times (4) than in the first. That led to fewer easy looks and few free throws for the guests. However, the Jays struggled offensively against the quick Flyer man-to-man scheme — varying between full- and half-court looks. When Kuether (12 points) drove the baseline to the glass with 30 ticks on the board, the Flyer margin was 37-20.
Schnipke was hurt on an offensive foul called on classmate Katie Vorst (6 points, 4 boards) with 3.6 ticks showing, getting caught up in girls tumbling to the floor. She had to be helped from the floor and did not return.
The scoring pace and tempo continued to follow the second-quarter trend: the defenses were solid and slowed down the other's offense. The Jays simply could get nothing consistent going offensively, partly due to nine more errors. Marion's lead twice reach 26 — the second time at 52-26 — on two singles by Brooke Winner (10 markers, 4 boards) at 2:28. The Jays even had their first free throws of the game at 2:15 but ended up 0-of-5 in that department overall. When Jays' freshman Sydney Fischbach (8 counters) dropped in a jumper from the right elbow at 1:04, it made Marion's lead 52-28.
With nothing but the final score to be determined in the fourth, both coaches emptied their benches as Marion's lead grew to 28 on two occasions.
"We struggled handling the ball offensively. They are so athletic, it makes it tough for you to get a lot going; you don't see many big runs against Marion Local," Grothouse added. "The fact that they had 27 free throws and we had five indicates to me we weren't attacking them and they were attacking us. I thought we continued to play hard to the very end; they were just too strong for us tonight." In sum, Marion Local secured 27 caroms, 12 offensive, Chelsea Winner had five; and amasses 13 turnovers and 12 fouls. They play Bath Tuesday.
St. John's netted 16-of-37 shots, 5-of-10 triples, for 43.4 percent; nabbed 19 boards (8 offensive); and added 20 fouls. They host Paulding Monday.
In junior varsity action, the Flyers improved to 6-11 (1-5 MAC) with a 35-25 triumph.
Emily Mescher dropped in 17 for the victors, while sophomore Emilee Grothouse had nine (3 treys) for the Lady Jays (6-10, 2-4).

The Chargers lost 23-20 to the Chiefs in overtime on Monday night, and Philip Rivers knows that this one is on him. The veteran quarterback made a rookie mistake in the final minutes of regulation, fumbling the snap in the red zone as the Chargers were trying to kill the clock and set up a potentially game-winning field-goal attempt.
"This one's rough," Rivers said, according to Chargers.com. "Any loss, you want throws back. There's plays we could obviously play better, but when you know you're a minute away from just leaking the clock and kicking a field goal to end it after the way we fought back, then you blow it on something that shouldn't ever happen."
Rivers has 11 interceptions in seven games -- including two on Monday. But as prone to turnovers as he's been this year, fumbling the snap is a gaffe that rarely happens.
"I haven't had one in years," Rivers said, according to the Associated Press. "It's unfortunate. I dropped it. This one is rough. You blow it on a play that never should have happened."
"It was a critical situation and it cost us," center Nick Hardwick said. "It's been six years and we haven't had one on the ground. We can't have that."
A firework reportedly went off in the parking lot of Arrowhead Stadium just before the ill-fated snap, prompting some speculation on the Chargers' radio broadcast that Rivers was spooked. But Rivers dismissed that theory, telling reporters he didn't hear anything. Instead, Norv Turner probably summed it up best.
"It looked to me like Philip got a little anxious and came out early," Turner said. "That's a very unusual way to not win a game."

(Times Free Press) - Three Marion County officials' barbecue lunch ended with a surprise punch to the face Monday.
Jasper, Tenn., resident Jasper Jones, 65, was booked into the Marion County Jail after allegedly punching county building official Roy Brackett about 1:30 p.m. CDT at McElroy's barbecue on U.S. Highway 41 in Jasper.
Also at the table were county Sheriff Ronnie "Bo" Burnett and General Sessions Judge Mark Raines.
"He's got a pretty good abrasion below his left eye," Burnett said of Brackett's injury. "I did fall backward and hit the floor," the sheriff said, explaining that his legs got tangled in his chair. "The man never did attack me."

appearance - black with very dark red all on the edges. opaque. one finger mocha colored head. decent lacing. 6.6 beers can age well apparently.
smell - roasted malts, rye spice, caramel malts and a bit of alcohol which is also pretty funny
taste - old malts, and really quite complex array of malts, a tinge of smoke. minor rye here.
mouthfeel - decent carbonation and nice thickness but it seems a bit grainy. otherwise itd get a much better score here.
an interesting beer. i had fun saying the name at this time of the year.

Thanks to Mikesgroove for this, awesome trade extra
A - Don't know why it's called a black lager, it pours deep ruby red. One finger head that fades to just surface bubbles and decent lacing. Very clear.
S - Nice rye spiciness but the bitter specialty malts have more of a presence in the aroma. Zero hops and a slight boozy smell as well even though relative low ABV.
T - Ah, it's called a black lager because it has more characteristics of a porter than spicy rye lager. The bitter malts push through a lot and kind of kill the rye, but it can be tasted. Slightly acidic on the palate as well. Again, no hop presence. Big smoke flavor at the end in the aftertaste.
M - Medium body with a creamy head and low volumes of carbonation. Slightly chewy on the palate as well. Finishes dry and bitter like a sip of coffee does. Easy to drink because flavors but the acidity makes it a slow drinker.
O - Would have like to seen the rye come through more and I'm not sure how I like the dark specialty malts paired with the rye; they kind of butt heads. Overall not a bad beer but the taste is different than style guidelines.

Review from BeerAdvocate magazine Vol. II Issue X:
Collaboration beers are all the rage now--not a bad thing at all. This one is by Terrapin and Left Hand.
Very quick to froth with a massive towering head that leaves a blanket of tan lace down the glass. Tiny bubbles slowly push their way through the rye liquid, a shade away from complete black ... faint garnet highlights when put up to the light. Amazing, this beer has legs! (Meaning swirl it around in the glass and watch how slowly it slides down the side.) Spicy and grainy with sweet brownie and black currant, faint anise and licorice root in the nose. Slick and creamy full body, which shows off a lot of rye residuals. Carbonation is light and all smooth. WOW! Talk about a rye explosion, rustic and spicy from start to finish with a stand-out sweetness that obviously is a very distant likeness to a good rye whiskey, but it is there. Sweetness ranges from dark chocolate to a bowl of all-grain porridge. Earthy with some wet char in the middle from a nugget of roasted grain. Lots of bitty dextrin action in the semisweet finish.
While not the most drinkable beer to hit the streets, it is certainly one of the most original--extra points for creativity here. Unlike most lagers, where they taste best somewhat cold, this beer really blooms when it warms up. A sipper for two.

Poured to my Aventinus glass-narrow base,big bowl top. Very thick, viscous. It displays the color of medium brown with some reddish hues. Produces a beige one-finger thick head. It falls just a touch but maintains a cover atop the brew.
Aroma-Bready, and I get some hops and that general lager crispness is present. Intriguing combination of rye bread plus hops.
Mouthfeel-Medium carbonation delivers a thick coating to the tongue. The rye gives a nice bite at first, then some mnalty flavors emerge but quickly fade and the hops linger at the finish. As this one warms up, the malt sweetness comes through a bit more and the rye bread flavors are more evident. I like any beer made with rye and this one is good. Not as complex as the label touts, but definitely unique. Just right, glad it was not over the top via the malt bill or the hops. Great collaboration.

Pours a nice dark garnet color, nicely capped off with a good finger of tan colored foam. Aromas of spicy rye bread, lightly toasted malts and milk chocolate. Very crisp and drinkable, with flavors of roasted malt, a little caramel sweetness and some late rye spiciness. A very nice collaboration, a very drinkable beer.

Many thanks to Rbald42 for the bottle. Much appreciated, Ryan.
Terra-Rye'ZD pours a dark cola brown color. Plenty of light cuts through revealing cherry highlights. A light tan head caps it off. It stands a couple of fingers tall and recedes at a rather slow pace. A sticky coat of lace was left trailing down the glass.
The nose is a little weak and would greatly benefit from more strength. There's no question as to the rye presence. It's spicy and rather prominent in the overall scheme of things. It has a nice earthy quality to it. Yeast is also noted. It has an interesting bread-like vibe going. Hints of chocolate are noted throughout. It's not bad at all. Just needs more strength.
The flavor is easily a step above the nose. Initially, it features a nice cocoa-like chocolate flavor. The malt base is more substantial than I expected. More on that later. Rye spiciness is very pronounced. I'm a rye fan, so that flavor is working for me. For non-rye fans, it might be a little much. It is grainy and very earthy throughout. Yeast is less noticeable in flavor, but is there. There's a touch of coffee rounding it out nicely. Alcohol is never noticeable. This isn't very big, so no shock there. Finishes spicy and earthy.
Terra-Rye'ZD has a nice medium body. Much bigger feel than I expected. Very impressive in that regard. It's very lush and smooth. Frankly, I'm damn impressed with the feel. I suspect the sturdy malt base really helps it excel. Drinkability is good. I like the flavor quite a bit. A bomber is no trouble at all.
Left Hand and Terrapin did a very credible job with Terra-Rye'ZD. I didn't really know what to expect. I'm impressed. The body and strong rye flavors really make it tick. I'm curious as to what a fresh bottle tastes like. I didn't get a great deal in terms of hops. I suspect a fresh bottle might really be rockin' with a stronger hop presence. Nonetheless, this is good stuff. The nose needs a little work, but it's solid otherwise. Thanks, Ryan.

Poured from a 22oz bottle into my Southern Tier snifter glass. Poured brown with a thick two inch khaki colored head. The head had some pretty good retention and left very good lacing on the glass as I drank it.
The aroma has rye, chocolate malt, toffee and some bitter roastedness to it. The taste has a moderate roasted/burnt chocolate and coffee flavor to it, while the rye comes through with a slightly spicy flavor. It leaves a nice roasted and rye flavor lingering in the mouth after each sip.
Mouthfeel is on the thicker side with moderate carbonation. Drinkability is good, it's a very interesting and good tasting brew. I like the addition of rye to the chocolate and coffee roastedness, which gives it a little uniqueness from anything I've had before.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a clear, dark brown with a reddish hue, big frothy light brown head, lacing throughout. Aroma is caramel and roasted malts, spiciness from the rye, nutty, and bread. Flavor is roasted malts, caramel, a hint of sweet chocolate, coffee, and nutty. Mouthfeel is medium, creamy, dry, and bitter. I really like this one, I hope they make more.

Poured into .5 liter stein a deep chesnut brown with a bit of ruby tint,a great 1 1/2 finger almond colored head atop that settled oh so slowly into a creamy mass.A mix of chocolate and green apple tartness in the nose,a subtle leafy element is noticed as well.A nice mix of dark malt and refreshing tartness on the palate,slightly grainy and prickly but its refreshing as all get out.This is great,its dark but refreshing,something you dont see enough of,this is a really nice hybrid beer by two fine breweries.

Acquired from mikesgroove, courtesy of the Little Guy 2 BIF so a big "Thank You" goes out to him. Poured from a 22oz bottle into an imperial pint glass.
A: The beer is a deep black color, with a large light brown head that fades slowly and leaves a thick on the glass.
S: The aroma is of roasted rye malts, dark fruit, chocolate, coffee and a touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out malty and creamy with flavors of chocolate, roasted coffee beans and a little bit of dark fruit. There are background flavors of spice and lager yeast. The hops presence is mild but complementary. The after-taste is slightly sweet and slightly bready.
M: Smooth and crisp, medium-to-heavy body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
D: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, good kick, different representation of style, this is the type of beer that combines elements of several different styles which gives it a good complexity, overall though it's not the kind of beer that I want to drink regularly.

Received in trade from KarrHeel03, thanks for the opportunity.
Pours a dark brown color with beautiful garnet highlights and a good sized tightly bubbled tannish head that persists forever.
Smells of cherries and plums, chocolate, caramel, rye bread and a slight spiciness as well. Very little hops left, but I believe this bottle is almost 2 years old so they've surely faded.
Taste is a creamy chocolaty spicy fruity affair. Definitely a unique take on a black lager. Smooth with chocolate and brown sugar notes up front meld towards a fruity spicy rye character that lingers long after every sip. Super creamy mouthfeel, Medium body and carbonation level. I really enjoyed this one. I wonder how this would have been fresher, but I thoroughly enjoyed it as is.

22oz Bottle Into a Pint Glass
A: Very bark brown, nearly black. Nice looking off white head, receding into a thin layer.
S: Muted hops. Some spice, perhaps some earthy rye.
T: Initial taste is creamy and slightly hoppy. Aftertaste is a touch spicy and alcoholic. I'm sure this beer tasted different a year and a half ago when it was born, but it is drinking very well right now.
M: Excellent mouthfeel. Creamy, reminiscent of Left Hand's Milk Stout.
D: Solid drinkability. I could go for a case of these. Too bad I got the last two in Athens.
Overall, this is a great initial entry into the midnight brewing project. I look forward to seeing what Left Hand & Terrapin cook up for Volume 3.

Appearance: Pours a clear root beer brown color with a creamy beige head that leaves a range of streaky lace across the glass
Smell: Crusty black bread, with hints of smoke, chocolate and licorice
Taste: Starts out with a spicy black bread and chocolate character, but by mid-palate, there is a blast of hop bitterness and rye spice; after the swallow, the malts come back to add a slightly fruity chocolate character, though the hops continue to assert themselves through the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate but prickly carbonation
Drinkability: Reading through the earlier reviews, this beer's hop profile was causing some consternation; with a year and a half or so of aging, the hops have settled down and the beer is drinking with a lot more balanced complexity than may have earlier been the case

Poured from a 22 oz. bottle into my Hobgoblin pint glass.
Appearance: Probably the best aspect of this beer. It seems kind of thick as it exits the bottle. Very dark brown (almost black) with a light caramel-colored two-finger head at the start. Very tenacious lacing; there's about half a glass of beer left, and the lacing still reaches all the way to the top.
Smell: Dark roasted malt is what I notice first, then the rye. Not an exceptional smell, but pretty interesting anyway.
Taste: My first thought was that it was like the malt and the hops were fighting each other for the upper hand with neither succeeding. There's surprisingly little aftertaste. My second thought was that it tastes a lot like a dark Terrapin Rye Ale. I love Terrapin Rye, so a maltier version of that suits me just fine. There's just enough hops to balance the malty sweetness, nothing more. This is growing on me.
Mouthfeel: Creamy yet tangy. Hardly any aftertaste; what there is lasts about two seconds, and it's just a sort of bitterness on the tongue.
Drinkability: For such an odd-tasting beer, this goes down quite well, and I think I could have another. I wouldn't want more than two in a row though.

22 oz bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a deep, clear, amber, with 2 big foamy fingers of mocha colored tan head. Rich and frothy retention, which leaves a huge latticework of sticky lacing behind. The aroma has a big sweetness to it of cocoa powder and toasted bread. Floral and citric hops gives the nose a green edge. I'm getting some real subtle spicy tones as well. Overall, the aroma here is fairly subtle and understated for the most part.
The taste is chewy with toffee, bread, and dark roast. A steady spiciness that lingers long, mixing with a moderate amount of biting hops. Roast hangs in the finish, along with notes of spice and sticky malt. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a fuller creamy crispness. Pretty sharp overall in the mouth with a bit of heft.
Not bad at all. A bit too much hop activity actually seemed to get in the way of the rye flavors at times but this mostly stayed flavorful and easydrinking (especially for the size).

Pours black with hints of red around the edges topped by a creamy head the color of dirty sand. Lots of rye in the nose, sweet with just a touch of herbal hops evident.
Malty schwarzbier character intertwined with a persistent rye graininess. Underlying citrusy hop profile keeps the beer malty but not overly sweet. Roasty, milk chocolate, bready, grainy spicy rye and big citrusy/floral hops. An odd combination of flavors. The rye is so pronounced, I would avoid this beer if you don't care for rye beers. As it is, it's a malty, velvet smooth and perilously drinkable.

My last one, a 22 ounce bomber bottle, pored into my nonic pint glass. The lager appears a translucent rich brown color with about an inch of light ecru head. Nose and flavor consist of medium toasted cereal grain, dark toasted bread, sweet malt, some spicy rye notes if you really look for them. Maybe a notch better than medium bodied with ample carbonation. A well done collaboration.

22 oz bottle.
This beer poured a dark red-brown color. Clear. Brown foam that persisted a while and clung and coated the glass as it settled, leaving lacing. The smell was mild, lightly sweet malt, but very mild. The taste was malty with some rye flavors. Very lightly sweet with good hoppiness throughout, especially in the finish. The mothfeel was very creamy and smooth with medium-full body and moderate carbonation. Light hop bitterness in the finish. This was a very easy-drinking, creamy, enjoyable beer. Actually, quite drinkable!

A solid pour into my 25cl tulip glass produces a very dense, tightly beaded, four-finger thic head that belies the relatively low alcohol of this beer. As the head slowly subsides it leaves lots of lacing on the sides of my glass. The head is a lightly browned, creamed-amber color. The beer is a dark, concentrated amber color that could be confused for black in a dark'ish bar; when held up to the light the beer shows a brilliantly clear, deep cranberry hue. A sniff of the aroma from the freshly popped bottle yielded a signature rye spiciness. A deeper inspection of the beer yields sweet, candied malt notes, spicy rye notes, toasted, almost burnt whole grain bread aromas, as well as a significant whole grain character that seems quite wholesome. Hop character contributes a nice sweet-citrus character and in combination with some of the caramelized malt a not of berries. After smelling this for a bit, I realize that much of the candied malt aromatics seem to be induced by citrus hop notes. This is a fairly complex smelling beer, it is only a mix of grain / malt and hop character (no fermentation character to speak of), but it remains quite interesting. I like that despite the ample hop notes, caramelized malt and toasted grain character the spicy rye notes are still able to be quite noticeable.
Thick and viscous feeling as this rolls across my tongue; in fact the texture from the rye is clearly evident, this is most definitely a sipping brew despite the moderate alcohol. Biting hops contribute a bitterness to the finish as well as an orange-zest, ruby red grapefruit and tangerine flavors to the middle of this beer. The hop character is ample, but mixes with a roasted malt character that reminds me of deeply toasted grain, a touch of bitter burnt grain, and even a touch of acidity from the burnt malt; at times the roast grain notes can almost hide the ample citrusy hop character. The hops have an almost bitter citrus oil component to it that turns to pine sap like flavors at times. The spicy rye flavors seem to get a bit lost trying to compete with the dark malt and, especially, the expressive hop notes.
Despite this being ten months old that hop character is still a bit too much in this beer. I do likely a nicely hopped beer from time to time, but here it gets in the way of noticing the nice spicy rye notes and the other malt complexity (the nose was actually more complex than the flavor ends up being). Even the roast malt and the hops seem to not do the best job of playing well together; the two can be just a bit cacophonous in the integration and aren't nearly as harmonious as one might like. Having said that this is still a nice beer, as with other heavily rye-based beers, the texture can certainly take a bit of getting used to, but it makes for a chewy, hardy-seeming beer that is nice to sip upon.

Thanks to mikesgroove for throwing this in as an extra to a trade a while back. Love me a good rye beer, so looking forward to this one.
Terra- is black as a good horror show. Not much of a nose on this one, faint hops, lack of hope, maybe some knife-sharpening.
Taste is a bit of a let-down. Little rye, little hops, & a healthy dose of dark spices. Creamy, but too heavy on the spices for my tastes, & the rye & lager seemed to create a rather strange atmosphere rather than playing nicely.
Pretty decent beer, but I was hoping for more in one of my favorite styles.

The beer pours a blackish brown color, but with some interesting red glints. Head retention is excellent in this beer, with decent sticky lacing as well. On the nose, I get some sweet roasty malt, a pronounced rye aroma, and hints of burnt toast. The flavors on the palate generally replicate the nose, except the beer is a bit hoppier then I expected. The beer is on the dry side, with the rye flavor nicely integrated into the flavor profile. It's noticeable, but does not seem to dominate this beer. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and alcohol is pretty well disguised. The beer is not the least bit heavy or tiring on the palate.
Wasn't sure I was going to like this beer, but it grew on me the more of it I tried. The beer delivers a lot of flavor, and drinkability is very good. The rye flavor became a bit much for me after a while, but for all that, I thought this a very solid offering from Left Hand Brewing. Not bad at all.

Water issue resolved
Posted by Lucy
Water issue resolved
"The water situation in Presho is good," said Mayor Mike Sprenger Monday morning from his office at BankWest Insurance. After confirmation from West River Lyman/Jones Water, Sprenger stated that the issue of more water going out of the Presho tower than coming in had been resolved. The concern over the weekend was that the tower was not staying full. Normally, water goes into the tower at about 170 gallons per minute, but over the weekend that number dropped to 140 gallons. Water for the Presho area comes from the Ft. Pierre intake on the Missouri River.

Vt. woman killed in road-rage encounterBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | September 27,2013Burlington Free Press Photo
Vermont State Police investigators work on the scene of a fatal shooting that occurred Wednesday night at 248 North Main St. in St. Albans. A Swanton man allegedly fired 11 shots and killed a Highgate woman.ST. ALBANS Police said a Swanton man, distraught after breaking up with his mistress, fired 11 shots and killed a different woman who had confronted him after he ran a red light.
Matthew Webster, 30, pleaded innocent Thursday to the shooting death of Anna Alger, 30, of Highgate, the day before in St. Albans. Authorities said the two didnt know each other, and described the fatal encounter as road rage.
Webster was held without bail after his arraignment on a charge of second-degree murder in St. Albans criminal court.
Police said Webster had just broken up with a woman with whom he was having an affair, and was followed by his wife who was making sure he ended the relationship. Webster told police he was carrying a gun because he planned to kill himself, court documents said.
On the way home from the breakup, with his wife following, police said, Webster ran a red light and was nearly struck by Algers car. Websters wife saw him run the light and called to tell him he had done so, court documents said.
Webster pulled over on North Main St. in St. Albans because he realized he was in no condition to drive, police said. He got out of the car, he told police, but didnt realize he still had the gun in his hand.
Alger had followed him after the near-collision and was yelling at Webster as she approached, police said.
Webster said his wife was watching as Alger charged like a six-point buck coming over a hill, Detective Benjamin Couture of St. Albans Police wrote in an affidavit.
Webster told police he shot Alger because he thought that would stop her. But he said she kept coming and he emptied the clip and reloaded, Couture wrote.
Investigators found 11 empty 9 mm shell cases on the road near where Alger was shot, the detective said.
Webster told police that after he shot Alger he tried to shoot himself, but the gun did not fire.
Minutes after the shooting, Webster was arrested nearby.
During Websters brief arraignment, Deputy States Attorney John Lavoie called the shooting an act of extreme violence.
It was a random act, Lavoie said. The defendant and Ms. Alger had no relationship whatsoever.
Algers family was in the courtroom during the arraignment. Several cried loudly while Lavoie described parts of the shooting. Afterward they declined to comment to reporters.
