I've been really enjoying Highland's special releases lately so I jumped at the chance to pick this up even though I'm not a huge kolsch guy. Pours a golden color with remarkable clarity, and a thin white head that doesn't retain very well. The aroma is very clean with notes of grass and fresh hay, along with green grapes, cane sugar, floral hops and a little yeastiness. The flavor is similar to the aroma with notes of grass and hay upfront, some green grape, champagne, floral and herbal hops, and a little biscuit. The mouthfeel is light and drinkability is very high. This is probably the best kolsch I've had, complex and exceptionally drinkable...overall a very pleasing attempt from Highland.

Served from tap into a sampler shaker. Poured a dark golden yellow with a half finger white head. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of malt, banana, and wheat. The flavor was of sweet malt, bananas, and subtle wheat. It had a light feel on the palate with mild carbonation. Overall this was a pretty nice Kölsch. One of the better ones I have tried in awhile honestly. Brandon Dana did a very nice job with this one without a doubt. Definitely a big thanks to Highland for sharing this one with others!

Thanks to verecund for this bomber.
A: The ale is a pale straw color, still yellow but perilously close to being water and food coloring. A moderate-sized head, right around a finger, left a few patches of lace.
S: A sweet malty nose, biscuity with fruit aspects, leads off. Hops are crisp but fleeting, never hanging around for long.
T: Malty sweet, the ale offers pear and apple flavors alongside the mild biscuit malts. There isn't much in the way of hops, leaving the malts and yeast to carry the ale. Quite drinkable, even though it trends toward the sweet side.
M: The mouthfeel is very sweet, biscuity and fruity. The hop side is restrained.
D: I'm torn. The sweetness is nice but the hops are a crucial ingredient. Drinkable but not one that I'd necessarily return to.

yellow in color with a nice head of white on top that faded gently into a thin veil that left the top bare after just a few minutes. Light bready notes and some grains in the smell, a bit light for me, without that top notch banana aroma you would see in a really good version of the style. Smooth mellow flavor, albeit light. Even and well balaned with a light bready note and a touch of light grassy notes towards the end. Smooth and easy drinking as this one went down effortlessly into the night. I would have no issue at all with trying this one again any day

a: tall lager glass, rich medium-golden in color, a steady stream of bubbles feeds a light head that fails to retain - leaving the surface still after a short while
s: grainly lager malts with an edge of light toast, white bread yeast, moderate sugars and an herbal hop aroma
m: carbonation just on the high side of medium, body riding the light-moderate line, a little slick towards the end
t: big flavors of grainy pils and lightly toasted german malts, rustic and husky, yeasted biscuit, papery herbal hops balance with a nice mild flavor and clean bitterness, starts sweet but dries well, lots going on here
d: really nice kolsch from Highland, easily drinkable

A: The beer is slightly hazy golden yellow in color and has a very slight amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a thin white head that quickly faded away leaving lacy patterns of bubbles.
S: There are light aromas of bready malts in the nose along with some notes of floral hops.
T: The overall taste has a slight amount of sweetness and flavors of biscuit malts along with some notes of fruit. No bitterness from the hops is perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and crisp on the palate with a light to moderate amount of carbonation. There is a slight amount of dryness in the finish.
D: The beer is relatively easy to drink but the sweetness prevents it from having refreshing qualities.

Poured rather vigorously, but with only little head as a result. Head dissipates completely very quickly.
Appearance is a spot-on light hay yellow.
Aroma is faint earthy hops. Very subtle and clean. A little bit of the yeast fruitiness is present if you know what you are looking for.
Taste is where this blows me away. It is the perfect balance of malt and hops. A nice hoppy bitterness starts out the sip, followed by a smooth malty sweetness that mingles with the subtle fruitiness of the kolsch yeast. This sweetness is quickly neutralized by the hoppyness as it makes a resurgence through until the end. I can't emphasize enough how well balanced this kolsch is.
Mouthfeel is appropriately prickly. Just the right amount of carbonation for the style.
Kolsch is my favorite style light beer, and this beer will inevitably convert more people to kolsch fans! If it wasn't for the lack of head retention, this beer would have scored on up there with my top favorites of all time! Definitely something I could drink all day, everyday!

Picked up a few of these in Charlotte a while back.
Poured into pilsner style glass with and it developed a small white head. Color is a light gold with a medium haze. Smells of sweet straw, almost reminds me of a gold Belgian. The malt notes are similar to fresh sweet biscuits, hops are low key. Very drinkable beer, will be sad to see it disappear from my collection.
Anyone who has extras and willing to trade, let me know.

Appears clear yellow with a thin white head.
It has a pretty strong smell for a Kolsch. I get lemon and citrus type of a hop smell. I also get a bit of a
It tastes of lemon and citrus there is also a bit of a spicy fruity yeast flavor as well. The malty flavor is pretty dry and bread like. This is flavorful yet very light.
This is a light beer with a light and crisp mouthfeel.
Overall one of the best Kolschs I have had a great summer beer.

Light bone white head, really too thin to call it a "head" per se, gone almost before it's poured, no lacing. Faint haze deepens the orange to worn gold color, very consistently hued throughout, no visible bubbles. The nose features air dried harvest apples, peaches, a splash of sour lemon and orange zest, sweet grains, then a pleasing floral breeze, no one element stands out above the rest, a nicely integrated presentation. Medium-bodied, given how it looks the carbonation chugs along nicely. Perhaps on the sweeter side of the style, juicy orange to lemon citrus, honeyed white bread, the apple, pear, grape, peach, banana fruit once more have that sweet, getting shriveled "stored in the cold basement for a couple of months" feel. Touch of malted milk balls, however, you don't get powerful caramel-like stuff, just a smooth, calming influence. Nothing herbaceous nor biting, no bumps in the road. Dry finish, maybe could use a little more punctuation. Glass gets empty real quick like.

22oz bomber into a DFH Signature glass pours a crisp bubbly light orange with a thin diminishing head. Aroma is slight crisp citrus hops and a trace of sweet malts. The taste is much more than the aroma, a very nice balance of sweet malts, crisp spicy earthy hops. The beer is quite light, crisp and refreshing, as the style should be. This is a very enjoyable Kölsch Style Ale, one I could certainly see having again.

Cheers to atsprings for another excellent trade! 22oz bomber into a Michelob pilsener glass.
Gotta love homebrew contests--especially when a brewery holds it and then produces the winning brew as a Pro-Am release. Even better when that beer is a kölsch. Brandon's version pours well, with a clear, macro-lager yellowness to its hue. Big-time carbonation rising up from the bottom forms a sizable tuft of creamy eggshell head. The aroma is mild, even for the style, with notes of grain husks, cereal, and dried grasses. Mineral water & a light sourness in the background.
Excellent flavor--very clean malt presence but has enough pale & pilsen malt sweetness to keep the palate entertained. Snappy hop presence in the finish with a clean, crisp note of mineral water. Notes of white grape juice and dried grass in the finish. Mouthfeel is a kölsch through-and-through, with a drying body and snappy carbonation level. Thin body, but far from watery. Overall, a delicious rendition of the style. Kudos to Highland (and you might want to consider offering this dude Brandon a job!)

[Best served in a Kölsch/Altbier glass]
Poured a cloudy light amber with a very, very small white fizzy head that dissapated in seconds and had no lacing to speak of. The aroma however was very enticing with the scent of flowery hops and a soapy yeast with nice notes of citrus. It tasted rather refreshingly sweet and mildly hoppy from the onset and then progressed into a slightly more biitter flavor with nice notes of wheat and citrus with the flavor resting on the tastebuds for a decent amout of time. Mouthfeel was light to medium in body and dry in texture with a nice lively carbonation. Overall a great tasting Kolsch, most definetly worth drinking a few!!

22 ounce bottle - $4.00 at Bruisin' Ales in Asheville, North Carolina.
Appearance: Pours a golden body with good clarity and a small, short-lived, white head.
Smell: Brandon's brewed offering offers up an aromatic mix of bready German malts, honey, and peppery, earthy hops.
Taste: Malts provide a taste of sliced, crispy-edged baguettes and a kiss of sweet wildflower honey and morningtime cereal. American-born Sterling hops provide a balancing bitterness and a lightly earthy, rustic spiciness. Gentle yeastiness. Trifling hint of sulphur character. One last blip of malts before the fast, drying finish.
Mouthfeel: Relatively light-bodied. Moderate carbonation provides for a crackling mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Perhaps a bit on the sweeter end of the Kölsch spectrum, but, for me, it still ultimately dries out in the end. Overall, a pleasant, highly drinkable brew.

Color is slightly hazy golden which is standard. The nose is a little sour, like cider. No hops on the nose to be found. As far as taste is concerned, there is a certain thickness in this brew that seems to work against it. It has some pleasant citrusy/lemony notes, but it is a little too buttery and syrupy to be as refreshing as I want it to be.
Congrats on the award winning brew, Brandon, and I apologize that I am harsh critic. No doubt this is a tasty and balanced beverage and I do not dislike it, but it has some thick and buttery aspects that seem out of place.

ANDERSON — A man who pleaded guilty to sexually touching a 7-year-old girl was sentenced Monday.
Anthony J. Wallace, 29, of Anderson, was hesitant to admit exactly what he did, but he did vaguely apologize during the hearing in Madison Circuit Court 6. Wallace pleaded guilty to a charge of sexual battery, a Class D felony, in May. A Class A felony charge of child molest was dropped as part of the agreement.
Judge Dennis Carroll, who presided over the hearing, said he noted the disconnect between the charges and the unclear admission, but gave Wallace a choice of serving a 30-month sentence in the work release program or a shorter 15-month sentence in prison. Wallace said he preferred the 30-month work release sentence so he could earn money, and Carroll granted the sentence.
The victim's mother was much more forthcoming with details of the attack, which happened in 2008. She described a day when she left her daughter with Wallace while she left her home to run a few errands. While the mother was away, Wallace spanked the girl then molested her, and threatened to kill her if she told anyone.
The daughter finally came forward about the abuse in 2012 when she was 11. She told police she was sure Wallace tried to molest two other minors who were living in the home as well.
Wallace initially denied the accusations, and told police the woman was trying to get back at him. Despite pleading guilty in May, Wallace didn't expressly admit to anything on Monday. He said he never would've molested a child and it must have happened because he was abusing drugs or alcohol at the time. He also denied threatening the girl.
The mother said the case has been difficult for her family, and the girl now has severe trust issues with adults.
"I trusted him, and I shouldn't have," the woman said. "Now she needs counseling, but even I need counseling myself because I feel like a horrible mother."

Other Stuff Around Sandstone Quarry
HISTORY (from Dave Pagel)
.....Regarding Sandstone climbing: my earliest memories are of top-roping there in about 1979, 1980...something like that. Then, and after that, Sandstone was mostly a spring thing for us (we went there when the wind, lingering snow, or temps on the North Shore made climbing further north less than comfortable. Once the Shore came into condition, we never went there again until fall again. We would very occasionally visit in the winter and do the one big waterfall, but we never played around on the other mixed stuff until Dahlberg brought that sort of thing into vogue around the mid-eighties. We never named anything-- seemed presumptuous since others had clearly visited before us (a bit like Carlton Peak in that regard). We identified the climbs there by "panels" (sections of rock that were bounded by drill hole scars) and used those as out of bounds markers, etc. I suppose it was a bit like the route setting business that people do today at climbing gyms. The whole experience felt very artificial and contrived because of those drill hole scars--which is probably why the place never really caught on with us. Of course the few routes on the more natural cliff faces there were our favorites (and we just called them things like "the big diagonal crack"). Nonetheless, we thought of it as an important enough crag that when we built the indoor climbing wall at UMD in the late 80s, we included a panel of natural rock from there (along with panels of rock from Taylor's Falls, Blue Mounds, Red Wing, Palisade Head and Carlton Peak--representatives of all the different types of climbable rock in the state of Minnesota).
......As I mentioned before, we had no doubt when we were going there that others had almost certainly climbed there before us. I think it is important not to diminish the efforts and the spirit of those who climbed (unheralded and unrecorded) during the 70s, probably even the 60s in Minnesota. I do, however, think that you are pretty safe crediting a number of the mixed climbs to Mike D. I remember he had produced a sketch that he circulated to a bunch of us showing the names, locations, and ratings of the mixed climbs he worked out in secret before he took a large group of us to his "secret fishing hole" one winter weekend. In terms of mixed possibilities, he was the visionary at Sandstone.
MORE HISTORY (from Mike Dronen)
Back in the mid '80's I kept asking a bit about Sandstone as I'd drive by it on my trips between the cities and UMD where I was doing my undergrad. I'd generally get blank looks on most people's faces. Somewhere around '86 Dahlberg shared a bit about the place and about "some guy" (I think he even knew the name) who wanted little to nothing to do with climbers in the quarry - someone who'd chase you out of there if he saw you. Believing about 50% of that and accepting a "just try it pal" attitude, I began work on a possible line on the "drill wall" (I believe Mike had already put up Sigma at the time and so I knew he wasn't simply trying to keep anything under wraps). I eyed a line on the "drill wall" that would follow the crack to the right, then exit left onto the face and do a kind of "S" route on slopers to the final high step and slotted pocket pull to the top. At the time I proposed "escape" as the route name, as it followed an "S" kind of line and had that "prison-esque" metaphor.
At the time, what existed (if at all) was probably closer to a no bolt ethic, but looking at the man-made nature of the place itself, and the less than great situation for setting up a tr on the climb, I justified a couple "as discreet as possible" bolts at the top. Interesting enough, I never saw hide nor hair of what I began to assume was a mythical figure described by Mike, but I did discover near the end of fall after establishing the climb that someone had defaced the lower part of the wall, chipping what I can only assume they thought were holds (the possibility of any direct start on that line was inconceivable) required to do the route, not realizing the line started in the crack - so hey, maybe the guy existed. I never saw another climber (or person) that whole season while in the quarry, but on several occasions as daylight waned, had the creepy feeling that I was not quite alone.
I showed the route to several others, the only one who I knew to work out the moves while I was there was long time friend Paul Bjork. In the late '80's and early 90's I climbed with Paul, et. al., and knew Dave Pagel a bit from UMD - greatest of times, now reliving those with my two daughters (12 and 13), who willingly (yeah!) accompany their old man down the road to TF (we live in Lindstrom) where he watches them learn the craft.

That is quite frilly, if I do say so myself…
The Deadmines gets decorated for Love is in the Air, too, and I've seen Brewfest decorations in SFK. I think I've seen holiday decorations in at least one other dungeon, but I'm not remembering exactly which one it was at the moment.
Shadowfang Keep is also celebrating Midsummer, I was a bit taken aback when I saw the banners, although they aren't as overboard as the Deadmines. I suppose even evil dungeon bosses want to relax and celebrate too.

Another beer from a can from the dudes over in Garrattsville. Pours bright burnt gold, decent white head that laces. Floral hops - no citrus, mild pine, maybe earthy? - over a toasted sweet maltiness.
NOT a hophead's IPA, and I'd say not an American-style IPA by this can. Definitely in the restrained British mode, with subdued spicy hoppiness under a sweet-tea-and-toast maltiness. Finishes with a toasty-grain and somewhat aromatic character. Extremely drinkable brew, with a great mouthfeel, but definitely for fans of English style IPAs or strong bitters rather than American IPAs. As a fan of those styles, me likey. Would love to see these guys crank out a hop bomb, as they have the mouthfeel of their beers down pat.

I have to say the artwork on the can and the price ($6.99) swayed me a little here along with the fact Iam wondering how this newer in state brewery is doing.This poured a dull medium golden with a thinner wispy white head that leaves one shotty streak of lace as it settled quickly,subdued hops in the nose for the style just a hint citric-like fruitiness underneath caramel,toasty malt.Quite sweet up front on the palate very caramelly and toasty the hops in fruity in fruity character show up a bit as the beer warms a bit but never really stand out.Hmm I would like more hop profile here as with the Pork Slap the hops seem a bit light but this is a tasty ale nonetheless.

Tully's in Wells started carrying these. Since I like IPAs, I thought I'd give this a try. In a pint glass, the beer was a hazy amber color with a medium-sized white head and some lacing. It had a nice aroma of sweet malt and cirtus. Mostly grapefruit taste, some malt. Fairly balanced, but way too tepid.

The look is cloudy amber brown a decent head thatt dissipates.
The aroma is sweet, buttery with a earthy grassyness of hops that are light.
The taste matches the aroma sweet buttery with a bitter finishe.
I like the taste its very drinakable more of a pale ale

Pours a hazy, orange-golden color with a small 1/4 inch head that lingers a bit. Smells of light citrusy hops and sweet malts. Not very assertive aroma. Smells good but is quite faint. Likewise on the taste. It is good, but nothing that sticks out. Citrus hops, bit grassy, good malt backbone. Quite balanced. Just nothing that smacks me in the face. Full bodied, smooth, light carbonation in the form of tiny tiny bubbles. Ends semi-dry and bitter. Pretty drinkable IPA but I would grab a couple handful of others before this one. Good price though.

12 ouncer in a thin skinned aluminum can, no freshness indication offered. Pours typical medium almond amber, cloudy, under a medium tan head, tiny bubble film and leaving a light and spotty submission of lacing. Nose is pleasantly hoppy, Easy drinking, respectable hopping level, lightish body. Piney hops follow thru along the finish. Quite drinkable, more good/BA worthy beer in a can, perfect to take to the beach or parking lot for a pre METS game BBQ...always a good thing

Thanks to zdk9 for sharing this can.
The beer pours a yellow color with a white head. The aroma is grassy hops and not too much else. The flavor is a mix of grassy hops, toffee and earthy hops. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Not a great IPA, but not as bad as I was expecting after reading some of the reviews.

Snapperhead is an IPA, but the nose immediately sets it apart from its peers: instead of grapefruit and pine hops notes, Snapperhead is devoid of the earthy pine scent, and favors instead a clean, almost effervescent grapefruit citrus nose, much like what I'd expect a grapefruit sparkling water to smell like.
On the tongue, the beer is indeed hoppy, but again, it's a clean grapefruit hoppiness, like freshly-squeezed juice. Below this is a nice layer of malts, giving the beer a decent body of apricot and orange flavors, biscuit-like grains, and light brown sugars. The aftertaste is mainly hops, and fades fairly quickly. Mouthfeel is light, and carbonation is medium-heavy.
Overall, Snapperhead makes for a good entry-level IPA, with just enough hops to separate it from the field, but not enough to overwhelm someone new to the style. I suspect hop lovers will be put off by the clean grapefruit flavors in here, and the beer does indeed seem slightly out of balance with the lack of deep and earthy pine flavors. It's decent and flavorful, then, but sacrifices wisdom for peppiness.

Picked this up on a whim because I'd never heard of the brewery and it was in a can.
Pours a cloudy copper-golden with a sizeable, somewhat thick off-white head. The latter looks craggy and sticky. Thick laces appear on the sides of the glass, but they are few in number.
Smells like light fruits, flowers, and some soap. Doesn't really smell like an American IPA. Consider my expectations officially lowered.
This is simply not an IPA. Malt and fruity flavors easily overpower hops, and it's pretty lightly flavored in general. Weak floral notes, peaches, apples... the too strong malt presence is composed of biscuity and caramelly flavors. This beer is much more sweet than it is bitter. Even if one were to judge this as a less hoppy style like an English pale ale or a blonde ale, it still wouldn't be very good. There is a terrible metallic edge to this brew, and the taste of soap is infused in every sip, greatly diminishing the overall flavor quality. The body is light-medium with good carbonation.
Based on this, I would hesitate before trying anything else from this brewery... on the other hand I am curious whether their other beers are this bad.

love the graphics on the can, it's not often that the packaging will sell me on anything
A- The beer poured a tawny orange with a quickly deflating white head. I could tell by the clarity of the beer, that this would be no heavy weight
S- a little toasted cracker, spicy yeast, faint vegetable "green" hops
T- Sweet malt, alcohol, a little bit of herbal bitterness at the end, but not much in terms of flavor.
M- carbonation was pleasant, but the beer was very thin and not satisfying
D- If you drink this like you would a pale ale or some other session beer, then it's great. The mild flavor enables you to drink several without fatigue, not really up to snuff compared to most IPA's

A nice malt driven IPA I know that's weird but this is a nice tasting beer from the Upstate NY brewers in Garratsville, NY transitional brewery. A dark copper clouded orange tinted ale with a light beige white head fine speckled lacing. Aroma has citric and caramel notes blended together nicely...while flavor brings in cereal grains and a bit of harsh malt flavos colliding together. One of the most drinkable of the canned offerings from Butternuts Beer and Ale company. Mouthfeel is medium bodied carbonation flows effortlessly, but drinkability continues to make sense t me as a beer drinker. Malty hoppy IPA from a can I'm listening, now give me more balanced ales in the future.

12 oz can poured in pint glass
Classifed here as an Amer. IPA,; the can says "Farmhouse Ale" IPA
Wow! This is a good canned beer!
A - hazy golden amber with slightly off-white head. Head has good retention.
Taste and aroma both reflect nicely balanced and generously applied malt and hops. Likewise, some sweet malty taste is nicely balanced with hop bitterness. Balanced initial flavor is followed by a nice rush of hoppiness, with a long lasting finish. Excellent save for a slight off-taste that may simply be some hop components that are not my favorites.
Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is both creamy (early) and crisp (later).

This beer pours a slightly hazy golden yellow color, with a thin white head. The head fades slowly, leaving a decent lacing.
This beer has a very mellow hoppy aroma. It smells slightly citrusy. Some sweet malt aroma is also present. It smells well ballanced, but very mild.
The taste is a little more hoppy than the aroma. Still mild. Some lemon zest, and a slight spicy hop flavor. It has a malty sweet flavor as well.
This beer is a little over carbonated. It is crisp, leaving a sweet malty aftertaste.
This beer would probably make a decent session beer. It is not too high in alcohol, and mello enough.
Overall: Thanks to JWC215 for the generous hook up. This beer is a little week for an IPA. Maybe more like a Pale Ale. Other than that, it is pretty good.

Butternuts Brewery, never heard of them before this purchase. I have to admit that it was the canning and mean artwork of a music jammin' fish that suckered me in. Sticker on top of the cans notes a canning date of April, 2011. "All Malt" is tattooed right on the can, leading me to believe that this is going to be a little different than the citrusy hop bomb IPAs that I have grown accustomed to. Let's see how this works out...
Pours a light hazy brown with a fluffy off-white head, much darker than most IPAs. Slow dissipation with some intricate lacing to match.
Nose is as the can mentioned, dominated by malt, with some underlying grapefruit/lemon notes. Certainly a different take on the style, although I'm not sure I really care for it. No pine or herbal notes anywhere to be found.
My palate is consumed by malt caramel and honey sweetness. Some hints of citrus, although muted by the overwhelming malt. Mild bitterness throughout, although the balance is completely out of whack. As a whole, this is again, just not what I want out of an IPA.
Mouthfeel is smooth, moderately light and a bit watery. Although the carbonation is right on, this just falls short for the style.
I'm disappointed in this one, although it may be a different take on a traditional style, that's not always a good thing.

Thoughtful and erudite, there are few filmmakers as fascinating to listen to as they talk about film than James Gray. So whenever we get the chance to catch up with him, it's a treat, and we managed to spend some time with the helmer at the Marrakech International Film Festival where he was serving on the jury. We spoke at some length about his upcoming, immigrant period drama "Lowlife," (formerly "The Nightingale" -- read all about it here), but we also wondered about some of the movies he's got brewing and what may or may not be next.
Perhaps one of the most ambitious projects linked to Gray in the past few years is "The Lost City of Z," is a seemingly uncharacteristic South America-set film. Based on the book by David Grann, the epic tells the story of English soldier-turned-explorer Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett, whose obsession with the Amazon and belief that an ancient civilization resided there, led him on many expeditions where he narrowly escaped death. At one point, Brad Pitt was attached to star with project set up at Paramount, and tentatively slated to shoot after "Moneyball," but it fell apart, and the actor left the project (though there's no bad blood as the pair are still planning the thriller "The Gray Man"). Nevertheless, Gray is still thinking about 'Z.'
"I hope to still make it. I'm trying to get it together again, but the budget that came in was $140 million dollars, because it was so logistically difficult," he explained. "Part of the plan was to get a cruise ship, and have the crew on board and go down the Amazon, shoot during the day, get back on the ship and move further down." That kind of reminds us of something…"I talked to Werner Herzog about 'Fitzcarraldo' and that's not exactly a thing you want to copy," he jokes. "I was looking for a way to do it that wouldn't cause me a nervous breakdown and get everybody typhus."
But while logistics may have defeated this incarnation of the film, Gray is looking for other solutions: "Going down the Amazon, the machinery is just not there to make a movie, you have to bring everything. Maybe the answer is Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, something like that, which maybe has similar terrain, but there is production resource close by."
He also spoke briefly about two writing projects. First up, is Guillaume Canet's "Blood Ties," which shot earlier this year in New York City. It's the French filmmaker's first English language picture, which assembles Clive Owen, Billy Crudup, Mila Kunis, James Cann, Marion Cotillard and Zoe Saldana in a remake of the 2008 French thriller "Les Liens Du Sang" (which also starred Canet), telling the story of two brothers, the younger of which (Crudup) is asked by his older convict sibling (Owen), to go back into the underworld to help out his family. This is familiar territory for Gray, and while he has a co-writing credit on the picture, he humbly plays down his involvement.
"What happened was [Canet, who is a friend] needed help with, as he put it, 'the dialogues' -- which immediately should have let me know he needed more than a little help with the dialogue -- so I helped him translate a lot of the dialogue from French and helped structure the story a little," Gray shared. "And he said 'I'm gonna give you cowriting credit!' And I said 'No, I really didn't do that much, it's your film' and he did it anyway, which was very generous of him...And then apparently the actors have improvised a lot, so I'm not sure they're saying anything I wound up writing."
Meanwhile, Gray is dipping into American cinema history, writing a currently untitled Steve McQueen biopic for his "Lowlife" star, Jeremy Renner who is producing and aiming to star. "I did it more or less as a favor to Jeremy and to honor Steve McQueen. I don't know what's happening with it, I suppose it will get made, they quite like it and Jeremy wants to do it," Gray said. "If they want me to do more work on it I'll help them but right now Jeremy's so busy… It's coming but it's not there yet."
We can't help but wonder whether Gray, with his detailed and meticulous approach, finds it easy to hand over a writing project to another director, as he is doing in this case. He answers immediately: "No, I got into very seriously. I was spending a lot of time with Steve McQueen's ex-wife and sort of started to live the Steve McQueen thing and began to really get involved with the subject. And then I realized I can't get so attached."
"Lowlife" is aiming for a Cannes Film Festival premiere next spring, and we'll have even more from our interview with Gray soon.
Brad | December 10, 2012 6:41 PM
I love Gray, I try to read a maximum of his interviews, he is very smart and interesting like his movies. I admire a lot J. Phoenix and M. Cotillard as actors and Gray's "Lowlife" is easily one of my most anticipated movie of 2013.
Please Jessica, don't make us wait another week for more!
Raymond | December 10, 2012 1:52 PM
Is Hollywood bloody blind? But Jeremy Renner looks nothing like Steve Mcqueen. They should rather get Daniel Craig for the role. Idiots.
cary | December 10, 2012 1:18 PM
It might be a type casting but what about Christian Bale for Fawcett? He'd jump in the project in a heartbeat if it's going to be shot in the Amazon. He seems to enjoy that kind of adventure. He even looks like Fawcett.
Stephen B | December 10, 2012 12:33 PM
Lost City of Z definitely needs to be made. Amazing story. I would even like to see it as a big budget HBO mini series so they could include the entirety of it.
DG | December 10, 2012 11:43 AM
He should do the Lost Coty of Z movie that sounds amazing. One big difference is that Herzog didn't have the option to shoot on digital back then. Maybe follow less in the footsteps of Fitzcarraldo and more in those of Soderberghs Che and it could happen. A Steve McQueen bio pic sounds great too but I'm not so hot on Renner as the lead...

Imagine seeing 78,000 pounds of turkey! Well, a group of volunteers has not only seen but cut and canned that much turkey these past couple of days. The Mennonite Central Committee mobile meat canner is parked at The Depot in Goshen.
Hundreds of volunteers have come together to cut turkey thighs into one inch pieces to be canned. Over 45,000 cans will be sent off to feed the hungry in Haiti, Bosnia, and the Ukraine. 10% of the meat canned in Goshen will also be locally distributed to the Great Lakes region.
85% of the volunteers are from the Amish Mennonite church. Volunteer Laban Hochstetler says, "I like to do any part of it. Cutting, pushing the cans through the labeler, and being just with these people."
If you want to help the committee group is looking for more volunteers to help. Donations will be accepted to cover the $160,000 cost of the turkey and canner operations. Volunteers can contact the meat canning office at (574)534-3860.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (WXOW/AP) -- When the Minnesota Vikings take the field against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, tight end Kyle Rudolph and safety Harrison Smith might be trotting out onto the field. Both players were sidelined with concussions in the tilt against Chicago last Sunday.
The Vikes must still wait to see how star receiver Percy Harvin's sprained left ankle responds in practice this week before knowing if the offensive superstar is back in action.
Coach Leslie Frazier says both Rudolph and Smith passed the necessary concussion tests this week, clearing the way for them to play in the pivotal NFC North game at Green Bay on Sunday.
Harvin has missed the last two games, but Frazier says he is hopeful the receiver will be able to practice this week. His status for the game remains unclear.

Most people know that a lawyer who is guilty of misconduct may be struck from the roll and prevented from acting as an advocate or attorney again. But supposing the person involved never was a proper member of the profession in the first place – what happens then?
It's a problem that has arisen in the Sasolburg area, where four trials were forced to a halt. In addition, the five accused involved in these matters will have to be compensated for any legal fees they may have paid, after it emerged that the man who took on their defence, holding himself out as an attorney, was not qualified.
The four matters came before the High Court in Bloemfontein on special review after the magistrates involved had referred them for the judiciary to take action. In all four cases, heard in Sasolburg, the accused were represented by TM Marabo, and in all the matters, his involvement brought the trial concerned to a complete stop.
First there was Seipati Mtjikane, charged with theft after she allegedly stole a computer from the Metsimaholo municipality. The hearing started in February last year, but from the time Marabo became involved, "there has been no meaningful progress made towards finalisation of this matter", as the high court put it. In addition, while the case limped along, questions began to be asked about Marabo's legal credentials.
The second case involved two accused, both police officers, charged with extortion, robbery, defeating the ends of justice and other crimes. Again, once Marabo took over the matter, the trial stalled. This time, however, the matter was postponed for the specific purpose of investigating Marabo's right to appear in court.
The third case involved a number of counts of fraud and theft, and, like the others, it seemed to get stuck when Marabo became involved for the accused.
In the last case, the accused was charged with defrauding First National Bank. This time, the magistrate postponed the trial and wrote to the Law Society of the Northern Provinces to ask about Marabo.
The reply noted that Marabo had been|a candidate attorney until his contract expired in June 2010. The law society asked for details of the cases in which Marabo had appeared, adding that it regarded his behaviour as a serious matter.
Armed with this letter, the magistrate wrote to the high court, asking for a special review in all four cases, adding: "I did take up the matter with Mr Marabo and he said the law must take its course."
For some reason, the magistrate's letter took three weeks to reach the high court registrar, something on which the acting deputy judge president of the division, Hans Rampai, made no comment on in his judgment, delivered late last month.
On the basis of the letter from the law society, however, Rampai concluded that Marabo had had no right of appearance from the end of June 2010.
He then examined each of the cases to see whether Marabo had appeared before or after that date; his conclusion was that in all four matters, the accused had not been properly represented at some or all of the hearings.
In falsely representing to the accused – not to mention the court and the public – that he was a qualified lawyer, he had defrauded the accused, Rampai concluded. Marabo had projected himself as a properly qualified defence lawyer, and the accused regarded him in the same way.
This "false representation" was an irregularity of such gravity that it "virtually vitiates" the proceedings in all four matters. "I take a very dim view of this sort of unethical conduct by a prospective attorney," he added.
Rampai recommended that the law society should "speedily investigate the gentleman" as well as the attorney to whom he had been articled in order to take "swift and appropriate disciplinary action against those concerned".
He also strongly recommended that if anyone should be found guilty of misconduct in the matter, punishment should include "full compensation to the victims, namely the five accused".
In the judge's view there had been a miscarriage of justice, caused by Marabo's "irregular, unethical and (on the face of it) fraudulent conduct".
Proceedings in all four cases have been set aside and they must all start from the beginning again.
Finally, Rampai ordered that the law society should be sent a copy of the judgment, the implication being that it should immediately begin the inquiry into Marabo's conduct that he had recommended.

We all love prop bets in big time sporting events because they usually delve into the ridiculous category. For Super Bowl XLVI it's gotten to the point where you can bet on the Super Bowl against athletes in other sports. Here's two examples of what I'm talking about from Bovada.com:
Which Will Be Higher:
- Eli Manning Completions (+105)
- Lebron James Points (-135)
Which Will Be Higher:
- Wes Welker Receptions (-115)
- Lebron James Assists (-115)
So, not only can you bet on things like if Madonna will wear a hat or will Kelly Clarkson show her bare belly during the national anthem, but you can bet against Miami Heat's LeBron James. I wonder what the over under is on the seconds it takes Skip Bayless to make a call to Vegas to bet against LeBron? Shouldn't that be a prop bet?

Hearing loss that occurs gradually as you age (presbycusis) is common. According to the National Institutes of Health, an estimated one-third of people in the United States between the ages of 65 and 75 and close to one-half of those older than 75 have some degree of hearing loss.
Doctors believe that heredity and chronic exposure to loud noises are the main factors that contribute to hearing loss over time. Other factors, such as earwax blockage, can prevent your ears from conducting sounds as well as they should.
You can't reverse hearing loss. However, you don't have to live in a world of muted, less distinct sounds. You and your doctor or hearing specialist can take steps to improve what you hear.
Signs and symptoms of hearing loss may include:
Talk to your doctor if difficulty hearing is interfering with your daily life. Your hearing may have deteriorated if you find that it's harder to understand everything that's said in conversation, especially when there's background noise; if sounds seem muffled; or if you find yourself having to turn the volume higher when you listen to music, the radio or television.
Some causes of hearing loss include damage to the inner ear, a buildup of earwax, infections and a ruptured eardrum. To understand how hearing loss occurs, it can be helpful to understand how you hear.
Hearing occurs when sound waves reach the structures inside your ear, where the sound wave vibrations are converted into nerve signals that your brain recognizes as sound.
Your ear consists of three major areas: outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. Sound waves pass through the outer ear and cause vibrations at the eardrum. The eardrum and three small bones of the middle ear — the hammer, anvil and stirrup — amplify the vibrations as they travel to the inner ear. There, the vibrations pass through fluid in the cochlea, a snail-shaped structure in the inner ear.
Attached to nerve cells in the cochlea are thousands of tiny hairs that help translate sound vibrations into electrical signals that are transmitted to your brain. The vibrations of different sounds affect these tiny hairs in different ways, causing the nerve cells to send different signals to your brain. That's how you distinguish one sound from another.
Causes of hearing loss include:
Factors that may damage or lead to loss of the hairs and nerve cells in your inner ear include:
What kind of decibel levels are you exposed to during a typical day? To give you an idea, compare noises around you to these specific sounds and their corresponding decibel levels:
Adapted from National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, 2008; the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 2009; and American Tinnitus Association, 2009
Below are the maximum noise levels on the job to which you may be exposed without hearing protection, and for how long.
Source: Department of Labor's Occupational Safety & Health Administration, 2005
Hearing loss can have a significant effect on your quality of life. Among older adults with hearing loss, commonly reported problems include:
Unfortunately, most people affected by hearing loss live with these difficulties for years before seeking treatment — or never seek treatment at all. This also may cause lasting problems for those who love you, if you try to cope by denying your hearing loss or withdrawing from social interactions.
Getting treatment can improve your quality of life dramatically. People who use hearing aids report these benefits:
Family and friends of people who have begun using a hearing aid are even more likely to report these improvements in shared quality of life.
Only a small minority of people with hearing loss seek treatment, but those who do report dramatic improvements in their relationships and quality of life. If you suspect you may have hearing loss, call your doctor. After an initial evaluation, your doctor may refer you to a hearing specialist (audiologist).
Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment and to know what to expect from your doctor.
For hearing loss, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask other questions.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, including:
Tests to diagnose hearing loss may include:
If you have hearing problems, help is available. Treatment depends on the cause and severity of your hearing loss.
Options include:
These tips can help you to communicate more easily despite your hearing loss.
Hearing loss prevention consists of steps you can take to help you prevent noise-induced hearing loss and avoid worsening of age-related hearing loss:
At Mayo Clinic, you will meet with an ENT doctor who specializes in ear problems (otologist). The doctor will conduct a medical interview and physical exam, assisted by a master's- or doctoral-level hearing specialist (audiologist). You will then undergo a battery of tests to confirm the cause of their hearing loss. Tests may include:
Mayo Clinic offers state-of-the-art treatment to people with hearing loss. If your condition can be helped with medication or surgery, you will be treated by an ENT specialist. If there are no medical or surgical options, or if you chose not to pursue them, an audiologist can provide options that may include hearing aids or other devices.
Below is an overview of hearing problems and their treatments:
Audiologists offer hearing aid testing, evaluations and fittings at all three Mayo locations. Many kinds of hearing devices are available, ranging from tiny hearing aids that fit completely within the ear canal, to more traditional, behind-the-ear styles. Styles also range from more basic to sophisticated digital aids with advanced features.
Bone-anchored hearing aids (Baha system). Baha hearing aids (also called osseointegrated hearing aids) are good for people who have chronic conductive or mixed hearing loss, or single-sided deafness. A small titanium screw is implanted behind your ear into the skull bone and used to conduct sound from a hearing aid to the inner ear. You will need to be evaluated by an ear physician (otologist) to see if the Baha system is right for you. Audiologists can provide a demonstration headband so you can experience the sound from the system.
These implantable electronic devices can help individuals with severe hearing loss in both ears who do not adequately benefit from hearing aids. This surgery is performed at all three Mayo Clinic locations. Read more about cochlear implants.
Mayo Clinic campuses in Minnesota and Arizona offer specialized treatment for children with hearing loss, including evaluation, medication, surgery and a wide variety of hearing devices.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
Specialists in otolaryngology and audiology at Mayo Clinic in Arizona have extensive experience treating hearing disorders in children and adults. Specialized evaluations of balance disorders are accomplished with a state-of-the-art vestibular laboratory and a balance and dizziness disorders team.

text: Atrophic vaginitis is prevalent among postmenopausal women; however, it is often underreported and underdiagnosed. The estrogen-related changes to the vaginal epithelium can adversely affect a woman's quality of life. Although systemic therapy can be of benefit in the treatment of atrophic vaginitis, vaginal estrogen preparations are often recommended. Postmenopausal women may find relief of symptoms of atrophic vaginitis with vaginal estrogen therapies.

It's a warm summer day in Edenton, N.C., an historic community on the Albemarle Sound that claims the title, "The South's prettiest small town." Along the banks of a Civil War-era millpond, a dozen high school students prepare for a day of adventure and exploration.
But it's serious business – not recreation – that brings the students to Bennett's Millpond. For the past seven years, Chowan County students have been working with the Science House at North Carolina State University to conduct experiments at the millpond – monitoring the health of the ecosystem, identifying the microorganisms that thrive there and learning about the delicate balance of chemicals and nutrients that sustains life. Students work in teams of two: high school juniors who are new to the program, are teamed with seniors, who have already put in a year on the pond. The arrangement gives students the chance to develop their teaching skills – while learning about science.
The system works.
More than 90 percent of the high school students who have participated in the project are attending a four-year college, compared to the area's average of 54 percent. The teachers at the Science House point to a dozen studies that prove – scientifically – that hands-on activities improve student achievement. But you don't have to read scientific journals to discover the benefits of hands-on, inquiry-based education. Just spend the morning with the high school students experimenting in and around Bennett's Millpond.
On a canoe in the middle of the pond, Kelsey Lichtenwalner checks for evidence of tiny organisms called bryozoans. The first time she discovered one of their underwater colonies, she reached down to touch it and found a surprisingly strong water current swirling around it. She developed a research project about the mystery and soon learned it was a feeding mechanism.
"They have tentacles that create a funnel that drags food substances into their mouths," she explains.
When the level of oxygen in the pond fell during the recent drought, the colonies almost disappeared. But other organisms were just making their first appearance in the pond.
Back on shore, students examining a jar of pond water are excited to discover an organism they've never seen before, although they're not sure – yet – what it is. Two students work together to capture a photo of the organism and upload it to a laptop.
They're quick to agree that conducting their own research in the field is very different – and a lot more fun – than reading about science in a textbook.
Colleen Karl, an educator who manages the northeastern satellite office of the Science House, oversees the millpond project. She says the project gives students the freedom to explore what they want to explore.
"We don't tell them what to do. We help them develop their ideas, provide the equipment that they need and supply the research support, and the mentoring support but we actually allow them to grow out their own ideas. That's something they don't usually experience in the classroom," she says.
But you don't have to jump into a canoe to experience hands-on research. While the Chowan County students are working on the millpond, students from the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics in Durham are analyzing e-coli cells in a laboratory at NC State as part of the new Summer Research Experience program.
Under the watchful eye of grad student Kathryn Earley, high school juniors Christian Colon and Joel Nortey take turns using a micropipette to move bacteria cells into test tubes. The samples are part of a project designed to fight Anthrax by reducing the development of deadly spores (no, the project doesn't use Anthrax; no need for biohazard suits).
Other high school students in the program – all of them minority males – are welcomed into labs across campus, where they get an opportunity to work on research in soil science, microbiology, forensics, plant biology, genetics and food science.
The idea of reaching out to North Carolina high school students is catching on at NC State, where administrators worry that they're not educating enough scientists and engineers to maintain the state's competitive edge in high-tech industries.
"Across the nation, all the major research and science-based universities are having the same problem," says Dr. Lisa Guion, interim assistant dean for diversity in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. "We don't have any talent to waste."
By getting teens excited about real-world science while they're still in high school, educators like Guion and Karl believe they can encourage many of them to pursue careers in the so-called STEM fields – science, technology, engineering and math.

Take a look at this work of art.
When I first saw the Pipins Reve de Jour I was like "Woooooooooooow!" I had never actually seen anything like it before and was blown away. The outfit consists of lots of attachments on most of the body parts and is full of colour on a relatively plain and pale base.
Here is a glimpse of the back of the garment. Both the texture design and the shape of the garment are abstract.
This outfit would look totally fabulous on the runway a real show stealer.
If you would like to get your hands on Reve de Jour, you will find it at the Pipins store. I know you will totally love it.

The heart has four chambers, two on the right and two on the left:
- Two upper chambers are called atria (one is an atrium).
- Two lower chambers are called ventricles.
- Tricuspid valve, located between the right atrium and right ventricle
- Pulmonary or pulmonic valve, between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery
- Mitral valve, between the left atrium and left ventricle
- Aortic valve, between the left ventricle and the aorta
The heart pumps blood to the lungs and to all the body's tissues by a sequence of highly organized contractions of the four chambers. For the heart to function properly, the four chambers must beat in an organized way.

CATEGORIES MoviesWe've always had a soft spot for Nick Nolte, whose rough exterior always seemed to hide a heart of gold.
After a promising start in 'Rich Man, Poor Man,' 'North Dallas Forty,' 'Who'll Stop the Rain' and his turns in '48 Hrs.' and 'Under Fire,' Nolte's rise in Hollywood was stymied by some bad choices (both on and off the screen), and the gruff-voiced star's career pretty much slowed down after 1986's 'Down and Out in Beverly Hills,' though his performance 10 years later in 'Affliction' was to die for -- reaffirming our belief that this guy can act the hell out of a role when he wants to.
Though not a marquee topper, Nolte is still out there, and he has a buzzworthy role ready to hit the screens in Gavin O'Connor's boxing drama 'Warrior,' in which he plays a reformed alcoholic trying to reconnect with his estranged sons. Now, he's getting another really meaty role as William H. Parker, the famous head of the LAPD, in Warner Bros.' 'Gangster Squad,' an adaptation of the Los Angeles Times' seven-part series 'Tales From the Gangster Squad,' about the LAPD's rough and tumble efforts to keep East Coast mobsters out of Los Angeles in the 1940s.
Ruben Fleischer ('Zombieland') is directing the ensemble cast that includes Sean Penn as mobster Mickey Cohen, Ryan Gosling and Josh Brolin as L.A. cops, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, Michael Pena, Emma Stone, Mireille Enos and Robert Patrick.
So is this a resurgence for Nolte? You be the judge: He's set to star in Robert Redford's political thriller 'The Company You Keep,' he'll be playing with Jason Statham in 'Parker,' and has four other projects lined up for 2012. Nick, we missed ya.
Tip o' the hat to Deadline.

As many as 2,000 people are expected to come to the Durham Rescue Mission Friday for an Easter dinner and giveaways.
The event includes 1,000 pounds of barbecue, hot dogs, more than 1,000 Easter baskets for kids and 9,000 clothes for adults and children.
"When I was a child, I didn't have the opportunity to have a basket or enjoy Easter like this, so to be able to see it in a child's face today, it's like re-living it," said Gregory Johnson, who is in a program at the Durham Rescue Mission and helped put together some of the baskets.
More than 400 volunteers come together to make the annual event happen. It's been happening for more than 30 years. The past several years have seen an increase in the number of people who turn out due to the economy, according to the Rev. Ernie Mills, co-founder of the Durham Rescue Mission.
The Northeast Central Durham community is one of the poorest areas in our community. These kids would not have an Easter if it wasn't for the Durham Rescue Mission, he said.
"If your kids are not at risk, we want you to invite some others that you might know in your neighborhood to come and enjoy this because this is for the kids," Mills said.
The event starts at noon and lasts until about 3 p.m. It is being held at the Durham Rescue Mission at 1201 East Main Street in Durham.

The Pac-10 is having a tough time deciding how to divide their divisions once Utah and Colorado join the league, because the all the schools -- specifically the Northwest grouping -- want a game either in Los Angeles or one of the Los Angeles teams coming to their town. Those games help with recruiting when on the road and help sell tickets for home games, but now those games may not be happening with the new Pac-10.
The zipper model gained a lot of traction and would put a rival in opposite divisions and guarantee a game against a Los Angeles based team every year. Here is what the projected zipper model would look like:
Arizona State, UCLA, Cal, Oregon, Washington and Utah in one division.
Arizona, USC, Stanford, Oregon State, WSU and Colorado in the other.
An announcement is expected to come sometime in October, but the zipper model is losing some steam and possibly being replaced with a variation of a North/South splits:
According to those same sources, the current "lean" - and that's all it is right now - is to split the league in a North/South manner with all four California schools together in the South with the Arizonas.
When I expressed mild surprise ("The Northwest schools are OK with that?"), the response I got was: Expect to see major scheduling concessions for schools in the North and perhaps even changes in the TV revenue distribution.
That would make the division look like so:
South: UCLA, USC, California, Stanford, Arizona, and Arizona State
North: Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, Utah, and Colorado
The major concessions must come in terms of scheduling with the Northwest block and assuming Utah and Colorado have no vote at this time they will be somewhat left out in the cold in regards to the Southern California market.
Other items discussed in the meeting was that a nine game conference schedule is going to happen, and that should help in getting the Northwest schools games against USC and UCLA more often.
One other item on the agenda was the location of a title game, this is going to happen but where the game is going to be played is the issue. The league is split on whether to have a guaranteed sellout and have the game played at the higher seeded campus, or take a risk and have it in a pro stadium. A pro stadium there are only a few options out West and a chance for an ACC type crowd if the game is in Seattle, Denver, Northern California, or Southern California and no local schools in the game.
Expect all or most of these decisions done sometime in October.

Janel McCarville hurt her back in practice and is a game time decision. She is on the floor warming up right now. No McCarville or a limited McCarville would be a blow for the Lynx.

Over the next two years, the automaker is hiring 7,000 workers for its U.S. plants.
That includes 750 engineers with an expertise in batteries, due to Ford beginning production on several new vehicles.
Most of the manufacturing workers will be hired for Ford's assembly plant in Kentucky.
It's not clear yet whether if any of the jobs will be at Ford's plant on Chicago's south side.
