|Is the IOC out of its mind?
|Thursday, February 14, 2013 1:57 PM
The Olympics are getting rid of wrestling in the 2020 Games?
Running sprints and marathons is very much in line with that but so is wrestling.
Now they are claiming that the ratings and attendance aren't good for these matches and, of course, that drives things these days, in case you haven't noticed!
Well, by that logic, get rid of tandem diving, badminton — at least that's modern because they fix matches! — and on and on.
Kentucky freshman Noel Nerlens blew out his knee the other night and that has brought the one-and-done rule in the NBA into focus.
hey point to success stories like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett, guys that made the jump from high school to the pros pretty well.
Kobe struggled his first couple of years and Garnett slowly worked his way in but definitely was not the dominant force he later became for Minnesota.
It seems to me that too many have only had the advice of an agent telling them they are the greatest player since the invention of sliced bread and when their pro career fails, they have no other recourse.
I understand that many of these kids come from nothing and really want to take care of their families and make a living.
I remember the old hardship rule that used to allow players to come out before they graduated from college: Spencer Haywood challenged the rule that a player had to wait four years after high school to play in The League in court and won. He went to the ABA first.
Moses Malone, Darryl Dawkins and Bill Willoughby also made the jump in the mid-70s but only Moses really lived up to expectations.
Here is something I didn't know when doing research for this article: in the mid-60s, a player had to wait until a year after his high school class graduated to be eligible to play in the NBA; Reggie Harding was the first to be drafted out of high school (1962) but had to play minor-league ball for a year.
While there are those that think they should have the right to try and make a living — they point to female tennis players being able to turn pro at 14 but I think with the way these kids' bodies break down over the long and short haul may not be the best example — and I can give them credence; however, I think we can all agree that fundamentals are far too often lacking in the professional game that a year of seasoning in the college game — physical and mental — is of benefit.
Perhaps The League and colleges could work together to have some kind of system where these guys could declare for the NBA Draft — like Nerlens is expected to — and see where they go; if they don't like it, they would still have their scholarships to lean back on.
The colleges might balk at that — coaches, especially those under fire for not winning, need to know who is coming and if they need to recruit another player — but I think there is going to have to be compromise at whatever decision is made.
This also applies to South Carolina sophomore defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (remember his hit against Michigan?), who some think may not play this year in order to avoid a potential injury and perhaps lose millions of dollars because of it.
He has to wait another year to declare for the NFL Draft, aka The National Holiday, and many think he is a top-5 pick already. One fear of keeping the present system is that these guys will eventually start going overseas right out of high school.

Ingredients: Unrefined Cane Sugar, Unsalted Peanuts, Dark Chocolate (Cocoa Liquor, Cane Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin, Vanilla Extract), Rice Flour, Potato Starch, Tapioca Starch, Palm Fruit Oil, Vermont Well Water, Unsulphured Molasses, Baking Soda, Xanthan Gum, Vanilla Extract, Sea Salt.
Allergens: Contains peanuts and soy. Our bakery uses tree nuts.
"My original, vegan Peanut Butter Classic cookies were created alongside the Cowboy Cookies before Liz Lovely Cookies was in business. So, naturally, when I released Gluten Free cookies I wanted this to be part of the collection. The only problem was that the gluten free ingredients and the peanut butter were not playing nice together.
"One day Dan walked into the bakery and saw the cookie cutting machine lurching and grunting and just dripping with peanut oil. That was all he needed to see, 'Shut it down! We are discontinuing this flavor until we can make it without killing the cookie machine!''
"And that's how it stayed for nearly two years. But since Peanut Butter is Dan's favorite flavor, he forwarded me every single customer request for gluten free peanut butter cookies until I made time to figure it out. Fortunately, I figured it out and we're happily baking them again for our fans, because I think the next email was going to have divorce papers attached to it!"

Home to some of Spain's most iconic cities and famous (and infamous) characters, Catalonia is a one of a kind destination. With a history as diverse as the territory and a cultural identity and language of its own, this Spanish community will delight and fascinate. Join us on an 8-day bicycle tour that begins in Girona, one of the most fought after towns in all of Spanish history, having been sieged over 25 times. We'll pedal east towards the rugged Costa Brava and through the rolling hills of the Emporda' region - dotted with Roman ruins and medieval towns. Our journey continues through hidden fishing villages and quiet towns along small roads through wine country on our way to Figueras, Salvador Dali's birthplace. Enjoy incredible cycling through a variety of historic towns that feature a delightful mix of modern culture and cuisine.
***If this sounds great but you prefer a longer tour. Join us to Bicycle Catalonia's Costa Brava Plus! Barcelona which extends this itinerary 4 days.***
Day 1: Girona
Highlights: Girona, Jewish Museum and Historic CenterWe meet in the medieval town of Girona today. We highly recommend coming a day or two early to explore this city and begin your exploration of the Catalan culture. We'll fit bicycles this afternoon and recommend a test ride along the river bike path before meeting for introductions and dinner together. Mileage - optional
Lodging: Hotel Historic
Day 2: Bicycling Girona to Costa Brava
Highlights: Cycling the Via Verde, quiet roads, beach townWe'll enjoy sections of one of the most extensive networks of bike paths and rail to trail systems in Spain today as we pedal south and east towards the coast. We'll weave through small farm roads and on bike paths through towns on our way to our beach front hotel. Enjoy a dip in the Mediterranean, or people watching this afternoon before dinner together. Distance: 43 kms (24 miles).
Lodging: Hotel Sant Pol
Day 3: Bicycling Costa Brava to Peratallada
Highlights: Beaches, rural bicycling, castles and medieval townsToday we'll ride along the coast to Palamos, a great coffee stop and perfect opportunity for one last dip in the sea before we head inland over rolling hills. Many of the towns we'll pass through on today's ride were once fortified Roman and medieval cities, so be sure to take time to meander the tiny streets. Peratallada, our destination this evening, is perhaps the best preserved as the center is entirely pedestrian and the walls still stand. You'll notice ruts in the stone streets which were created from centuries of horse carts moving through the narrow streets. We'll stay just outside of town and enjoy this little corner of Catalonia for the next few days. Mileage 50 kms (30 miles)
Lodging: Hotel Aatu .
Day 4: Loop ride or Rest Day
Highlights: Loop ride, optional climbWe'll take a loop ride through the gentle hills of the Baix Emporda region today. We have a special stop planned just a few kilometers into the ride to visit a local ceramicist, la Bisbal d'Emporda. This is also a great town to enjoy a beverage and explore the boutiques and artist stores - some of which carry traditional pieces while others have expanded into more modern ceramic art. After our visit we'll continue our loop ride which includes the option of an 8 km (5 miles) climb for anyone wanting a little challenge. This evening dinner is on your own. Mileage 45 - 60 kms (24 - 36 miles).
Lodging: Hotel Aatu .
Day 5: Bicycle to Cadaques
Highlights: Remote fishing village, stunning views of the seaWe'll head north and inland today through gentle hills and reclaimed marshes that are now the center for the agricultural economy in the area. We'll suggest a lunch stop in one of these small but historic towns. There is a significant climb to the hotel so anyone who prefers to rest their legs can meet at a café to regroup and shuttle. Everyone else can join local cyclists to conquer the hill that creates a natural barrier and makes this Eastern most peninsula in Spain such a unique natural and geological formation. Dinner is together tonight. Mileage 60 - 70 kms (36 - 41 miles).
Lodging: Hotel Rocamar
Day 6: Cycle the Cap de Creus or enjoy the beach
Highlights: Dali's summer home, beach front rambla, and optional rest dayToday you have the option to take a day off the bike, or bicycle to the stunning Cap de Creus - the most easterly point of the Iberian Peninsula. It's a short but hilly ride out and back. For those who prefer a day off the bike, Cadaques has been inspirational to many great artists, including Dali, Miro, Duchamp and Picasso. Find a spot and explore your inner artist, or simply enjoy a day relaxing by the pool. Dinner is on your own today. Mileage 14 kms (8.5 miles) out and back or more if you want!
Lodging: Hotel Rocamar
Day 7: Bicycle to Figueras
Highlights: Scenic coast boat ride, Dali MuseumWe start our day with a chartered boat ride as we leave Cadaques and navigate around the rocky coastline that isolates the Cap de Creus Natural Park from the rest of the Costa Brava. Once we land in Roses we'll pedal to Figueras, birthplace of Salvador Dali. We'll plan a guided tour of the museum this afternoon before a final dinner together to celebrate the completion of our journey. Mileage: 50 kms (30 miles)
Lodging: Hotel Duran
Day 8: Figueras

Darwen allotment-holders protest at animals order
7:30pm Tuesday 11th September 2012 in News By Dan Clough, Reporter
ALLOTMENT holders in Darwen have sent a petition to the council over an order to remove 'unauthorised animals' from their plots.
Following complaints from residents, the council ordered that some animals, including cockerels, be removed from the Tockholes Road Garden Area, between Tockholes Road and Harwood Street.
A petition signed by tenants from 11 of the 48 plots has been submitted to the council and will be discussed by Blackburn with Darwen Council's executive board on Thursday.
A council report said: "At Tockholes Road Garden site, the council has had complaints regarding noise, infestations of vermin and smell.
"As a result of these complaints, a letter was sent to remind tenants of their tenancy agreement clauses and ask, if anyone did have any unauthorised animals, could they be removed.
"The intent was not to cause upset or distress but a request for tenants to follow the terms of the tenancy agreement which they signed up to and effectively manage the plots for the benefit of all."
The report also said that clarification was needed over what an 'unauthorised animal' was.
It said: "This will reduce uncertainty on the part of tenants and reduce disputes thereby facilitating the management of the plots both in terms of tenancy compliance and the exercise of statutory function performed by the environ- mental health officers in respect of noise pollution and vermin infestation, for example."
One allotment holder said: "We were all asked if we kept animals, and if we said we did then we were charged.
"I keep pigeons myself and have to pay every month. So why tell them to pay and then say they can't keep their animals?"
The man, who has rented one of the allotments for 30 years, said he understood some of the complaints from residents.
He said: "In some cases they don't fence them properly.
"I can understand if people complain about animals running around."

Singing superstar Whitney Houston—a New Jersey native born in Newark, educated in Caldwell, and a one-time resident of East Orange and Mendham Township—was mourned Sunday across the state in ceremonies both large and small.
At the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, where Houston began her public singing career at age 11 as a member of the junior gospel choir, a medley of Houston's hit songs played over the public address system as the congregation arrived for a 6:30 a.m. service dedicated to the singer.
Several in the crowd said they were also there to pay their respects to Houston's mother, gospel singer Cissy, a long-time active member of the church.
Far to the west of Newark in Mendham Township, mourners placed flowers outside the entrance to Houston's home, where she lived for two decades with members of her family.
Many local residents remembered casual encounters with the music superstar.
Shopping at a Whole Foods store in West Orange, East Orange resident Sharonda Allen talked of the time her choir sang for the video of Houston's song, "All the Man That I Need."
"I felt as if a relative had passed," Allen said, about her reaction to Houston's death. "Her music has been so much of the soundtrack of my life... She was my role model, my idol, my hero."
She called Houston "the real American Idol," particularly for the influence she had on young black girls of her generation. "We looked at ourselves in the mirror and we saw that we were beautiful."
In Mendham, members of the local police department recalled her wedding to fellow singer Bobby Brown.
"We lit up the end of her drive way for guests being dropped off and picked up by limo," Bruce Schmeal said in a comment on Patch. "I remember (actor and comedian) Kenan Ivory Wayans was really cool, he took pictures with us and was just real nice."
Melissa Phelan said in a comment that her father had been a member of the township committee that had issued permits for the extravagant wedding. "Whitney and Bobby were very kind to include them on their guest list," she said. "My parents went to the wedding along with other members of the BFD and Police Department... It truly is such a sad day! Another pop icon of my time is gone, RIP Whitney!"
Some members of New Hope Baptist Church had a more personal connection with the singer.
"I heard her sing in this church, many times. It was awesome," said longtime parishioner Karen Winfield of West Orange, who referred to the singer's "impetuous smile."
Parishioner Daneen Grayson said Houston's battle against drug abuse "were her struggles, that was between her and God," a sentiment heard often this morning by worshipers filing past a gaggle of reporters into the church.
"We ask for everyone to continue to lift up the Houston family with your prayers," Pastor Joseph Carter told reporters outside the church Sunday morning. "The family shared Whitney with the world but Whitney was a mother, daughter, sister, and that is the focus we want to maintain."
Carter also said he had "no word" on funeral arrangements.
Mourners left flowers in the metal railing of the fence outside the chrurch. A large crowd of reporters and TV crews were kept at a distance from the entrance. Reporters were not allowed inside for the service.
Houston was born in Newark, the third and youngest child of Army serviceman and entertainment industry executive John Russell Houston Jr. and gospel singer Cissy Houston.
She was exposed to some of the top soul and rhythm and blues singers from an early age—her cousins were Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick, and Aretha Franklin was her godmother.
Her family moved to East Orange after the Newark riots in 1967, and she attended Mount Saint Dominic Academy in Caldwell for high school.
Houston later bought a home in Mendham Township, and during that period the pop icon spent her down time like many residents would. She shopped in nearby Chester and had local doctors help her through her pregnancy.
Melinda Bass worked at the Dairy Queen in Chester after classes let out at Mendham High School and during summer break when she was home from Ithaca College. While not much of that time by the soft serve may be memorable, working on a cake for Whitney Houston and her family was something few would forget.
"She used to come in all the time," Bass said. "Usually when I wasn't there. I met her daughter and decorated a cake for Bobby Brown's father."
Her co-workers at the ice cream shop all regarded Houston well. "Everyone agreed she was so nice and so humble," Bass said. "This is so sad."
Livingston native Martha Ackermann saw Houston through a different lens, the one of expectant mother. "When I was pregnant with my daughter Jill my doctor was her back up doctor at St. Barnabas," Ackermann said. "Everyone said she was so nice and she was just like any other mother."
Houston put her Mendham residence up for sale in 2009, according to NJ.com. She later lived in Atlanta with husband Bobby Brown, and most recently had a home in Los Angeles.
This story was reported by local editors Paul Milo in Newark, Russ Crespolini in Mendham and Teresa Akersten in Caldwell, and written by Senior Regional Editor Steve Johnson.

k.. so no more cutting. i am transitioning to an "offseason" diet. i am going to stay sub 10% as long as possible. i want to stay pretty for the summer time. dont know specifically what BF% i am, but its probably about 7-9%. current bw is 176.0lbs down from 230.. goal weight 26 weeks from now is 185lbs to a maximum of 190lbs.
goal lifts by dec 2010
de 455x1+
sq 365x1+
be 315x1+
should be easily doable.. these are substantially my old maxes at 230ish lbs last year.

no show. its ridiculously out of my league after i did some real research. 2011 will be my year. about to do quads/calves

Looking good! (no homo). Is that w/ a post workout pump? Your arms look a lot fuller than they did in your video. Great symmetry and size. Chest definitely looks better too. So how many calories have you eaten already today haha?
nah.. i did take a few post workout but they looks like garbage.
cals today were 2175+/-20. im serious, i'm rebounding from this cut very carefully. no way i'll blow it for guilty pleasures. today, work had a giant BBQ feast with cakes and pies etc.. i ate my chicken and pasta w/ 30g of whey.
Dang dude, I'm ready to see that strength come back haha. It's weird coming to your journal though with the mindset of an offseason/bulk diet rather than a cutting diet. I'm not used to this yet! It's like a whole new journal now, which I guess is why you made a whole new journal lol.
Nice squatting.
Pic looks good (yes homo)

Super leg day...good luck with your new goals Tim.
took me a few hours but i just finished the setup for my diet specifics. just need to decide if i want to do 5/3/1 or do 5x5... i really like both. i spent about 5 hours this morning cleaning my old apartment. i couldnt finish in time so i need to pay another weeks rent there. not terribly expensive but still, thats money i could have not spent. meh.
diet is screwy so far today as i was cleaning all morning.. lots of scrubbing etc. it will end fine though. need to go grocery shop now. i hope its not a cluster in the parking lot.. i need a bunch of stuff so im driving rather than taking my bike.

yknow I actually plan on spending tonight figuring that out. i have absolutely nothing to do sadly. i prefer routines that are low volume but higher frequency.
i find the HCT training routine to be overly complicated. i vastly prefer simplicity.. i'm not even close to maxing linear gains so why get fancy imo.
edit: i am doing my 5x5 hybrid. i really love 5x5 but i want a 4 day routine. i can post up the template for anyone who cares to take a peak.
Last edited by f=ma; 05-29-2010 at 05:31 PM.
I really don't think HCT is THAT complex once you first set it up, but I do think that the auto-regulation deal is a little...meh. Idk, I just see the autoreg as a way to not push yourself. I like getting psyched up to hit a heavier weight or rep each session, and I think a lot of people would simply use auto-reg as an excuse to slack off.
I'd be interested to see that 5x5 hybrid. How do you break down 5x5 for 4 days a week?
attached. plus i also want to dead and squat every week. also -- its not like I am expert. i consider myself an intermediate lifter. i want to get a belt also.. but i dont know that i need one. when to get a belt has always been a subject in debate for me. if i do, im going to get a bobs belt. those things are sweet.
in that template, i am being conservative with my 5rm numbers because i need extra time to adapt from my calorie levels.
the planned time frame is 10lbs over 26 weeks. within the template, i dropped my current lifts a bit in calculating current 5RMs to giive myself an extra 2 weeks or so to ramp up to my 5rm; that way I will not burn out as fast while i acclimate to new cal levels. im hoping to make it to week 10 without missing a lift... maybe deload, drop back a week and push through to week 15, repeat and hopefully to week 20. at that point, i will be in late november.. and im giving myself an additional 4 week buffer for unforseen set backs or deloads as necessary... maybe do a mini cut to make 181s.. do a PL meet.. see how things are from there
the BF estimate is 7.5% right now. that pegs me at 13.13lbs of fat currently. i am hoping for a 50/50 muscle/fat split in these 10lbs. hopefully it will be more favorable... but who knows. if i gain 5 fat, 5 lean mass, i would be 9.25% or so BF, which is totally acceptable. if i can get my strength that high again and stay sub 10%

yup.. as slow as possible. legs are so sore from squats/lunges on friday. im very lethargic from dropping the ephedrine and caffeine. caffeine will still be taken on lifting days but the ephedrine is finito

Template looks really good. I'm really interested in going all out on a 5x5 routine in the future, I like it quite a bit. Good luck with everything Tim, I know you'll go all out in whatever it is you're doing.
"Light Weight"
260's by May
bw 175.8
diet notes: i went to a cookout yesterday. my splurge was 3 burgers w/o buns. 2 of them had 1 slice of american on there. diet for the rest of the day was perfect. i suspect my total splurge was about 400-500 cals above targeted cals for the day. this will prob be the extent of my cheating so this is good, I am pleased all things considered. im expecting a few lbs over the next week or so from glycogen stores refilling.. has nothing to do with real weight gain.. so while this bothers me psychologically, its expected. im treating the next 10-15 weeks almost as a precontest diet.. will all be precise. i have nothing better to do anyway so why not make it perfect. goal weight gain is about 1/4lb-1/3lb per week.
other notes: other non-specific goals of this is to reduce the amount of arch i use while benching. having a long torso, i can get BIG arch... this is no good for mass imo as it is a reduction of ROM. so the plan is to tuck my shoulders w/ minimal arch for purely stability. lastly, i bought a black/blue/black single prong 4" belt. 3-6 weeks for delivery i had no idea it would take so long or i would have ordered before.

bb bench, feet on bench, shoulders tucked, suicide
warm up
harder than expected. rest paused........ i hope i didnt screw myself by starting too high.
db row per arm
105x10/6,2,1,1 L/R
bb bench same style as above ex/ thumbs wrapped
db curls per arm
10m/100cals stairmaster MISS
once again.. primary bench movement was harder than expected. i probably could have started at 225 but that would have been my real 5rm right now and 3 weeks from now i would stall. gotta be patient... first set was easy, i did strain a bit on the second top set. with the higher cals and less cardio, i hope next week will be a nice surprise.
AM bw 175.8, same as yesterday. so far transition is perfect. tomorrow, back to the 5am workouts.
ryan, thats 100 reps of weighted chins in as few sets as possible. initially im going to try to break it down into sets of 10. i will probably fade hard around 70 initially
i redid my diet to get rid of a lot of dextrose and add a lot more oatmeal. im also going to look into some dried fruit. imo.. my setup was great before.. but now it is pretty much perfect at the current target calorie levels.

Reviews by coldmeat23:
3.68/5 rDev +0.5%
GLASS: Snifter
TEMP: Cellared @ approx 50 degrees
Pours a beautiful ruby red, with a slight hint of copper. Two-fingers of loose off-white foam sits on top. Retention is decent and lacing is quite good.
Good caramel malt presence. Hints of brown sugar and dark fruits. Good spicey hop presence.
All-in-all, the nose is somewhat light.
Big notes of wheat are swirled with notes of caramel. Mild flavors of ripe, dark fruits. Hints of bread with brown sugar. Light hops spice, in the finish.
For an american barleywine, this is actually pretty good. Surprise! They haven't tried to kill the brew by throwing 12 metric tons of hops into every bottle.
On the upper end of medium bodied. Nice and creamy, yet still remains light enough to not overpower.
Despite the fact that I think it needs a little more body, this is a pretty darn drinkable bottle of barleywine style ale.

Reddish amber with a tall off-white head that rises and falls quickly leaving lacind.
Malty without many hops,rotten veggies.
Sweet, full bodied with brown sugar and too sweet, sugary. Not a lot going here.
Overall, this is a barleywine that's not worth buying.Unless...

From BeerAdvocate Magazine Volume II, Issue V:
Bright and clear reddish-amber color, looks like a sunset off of the East Coast during late summer. The head leaves a nice drop of lacing down the glass, sticky lace at that. Sweet malty aroma with a solid tone of caramel wraps itself around the faint alcoholic ester and hop nose. Stodgy, thick body, creamy and a little slick in the mouthfeel as the malt flexes. Bam! This is such a malt bomb! Caramel, Portuguese sweet bread and honey covered biscuits come to mind. Not overly sweet with the hop flavor, some hop bitterness and a bit peppery alcohol help to balance. The end is sweet and bready but with some lingering hop flavor and alcoholic bite.
Awesome, an American Barleywine that is not hopped to the hilt. Refreshing to see a balanced Barleywine that does not have to rely on extremes. Hooray for balance! A pleasure to sip.

Nice barley wine.
Bomber poured into a tulip. Cherry amber color with a medium-sized off white head. Pretty color.
Sweet caramel aroma, dark fruit, hops. A whiff of alcohol.
Taste followed form. Caramel malts, raisins, late citrus hops. Didn't notice the alcohol that I thought I smelled.
Nicely hopped, nicely balanced.
Enjoyed this a lot.

22 oz bottle. Pours a hazy tea color with a creamy light tan head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet caramel malts, cola and some dark fruit and melon. It has some spicy medicinal alcohol notes.
The flavor is sweet caramel and cola with a slightly bitter alcohol finish. It's too sweet, almost cloying, and has a bit of an off aftertaste. It is pretty mild tasting for a barley wine. The mouthfeel is full and creamy with velvety carbonation.
Overall, a strange beer. Excellent appearance and mouthfeel, just off on the nose and flavors.

The beer pours a hazy brown color with a white head. The aroma is brown sugar, molasses, dark fruit and alcohol. The flavor is heavy on the brown sugar and dark fruit. I also get some caramel malt and a little bit of piney hops. There is also quite a bit of alcohol warming in the beer. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A nice barleywine.

Poured into snifter from bomber. No date on bottle. Has foamy head that dies down reasonably quick to a lacy layer across top of brew. Nice burnt golden brown, quite hazy.
Smell is of dark malts and some slight caramel. Very nice smell.
Nice taste; I must admit, I've had better barley wines, but this one has a good solid mouthfeel and is a little more drinkable right away. Good finish, I expected a strong aftertaste but was impressed at the lack of such.

Pours a thick, clear brown with no head. Molasses, wood, caramel malt, and butterscotch in the nose. Oily mouthfeel. Taste did not live up to the nose. Caramel and bread, with some graininess and a rotten tobacco flavor that, well, doesn't belong in beer. There are far better out there.

Bottle shared with a friend, served into two snifters.
A: Beautiful orange/red/brown clear color. Minimal head.
S: Sweet malts and fruity hops smells. Smell is delicious but not what I was expecting from a barleywine. Alcohol is well hidden.
T: Malty flavor with some nice bitterness. Lots of toffee and caramel flavors.
M: Very smooth and easy to drink for 10%. Nice carbonation.
O: really enjoyed this beer, it's definitely very tasty but it was overshadowed by the Leon we had right before it.

Had this courtesy of Ding - much obliged!
Pours a hazy brownish copper color with a one-finger off-white head. The head dissipates into a patchy layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of caramelized malt with sugar-coated pears and hints of citrus aromas. There's also a small amount of booze aroma wafting out.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Caramelized malt flavors up front are soon joined by pear flavors and hints of toffee. The ending is solidly bitter and the alcohol plays a bit more of a role in the flavors than it does in the smell.
Mouthfeel is good. It's just a bit on the thin side but with solid carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I finished my glass fairly quickly and could have a few more.
Overall this is a solid barleywine that's somewhere in between an American and English. Worth a shot.

(Served in a snifter)
A- This beer pours a dark dense brown body that glows showing of a strong carbonation of tiny bubbles supporting a thick light tan head that slides down the glass with each sip.
S- The strong aroma of plastic has some fusel notes to it. As the beer warms the smell of plastic grows but a hint of hops does poke through in the finish.
T- The slightly sweet malt flavor has some caramel notes and a soft buttery quality. When the beer warms the finish of minty pine hop cones grows in pine flavor and a bit of bitterness finishes the beer.
M- This beer has a medium-full mouthfeel with a soft alcohol heat in the finish.
D- The flavors are a bit soft and one dimensional and the plastic aroma covers up most other smells. I finished the bottle but it was a but drab to get through.

Poured from a 22oz brown bottle. The beer is a hazy amber brown with a thick creamy head that sticks to everything it touches. The khaki head dissipates to almost nothing but a ring that moves with the beer as you drink.
Smell is weakest part of the beer. There is a lot going on here and the nose is conflicted by it. I get floral sweetness, a slight spiciness and big malts. Its all dominated by a metallic alcohol scent thats a little harsh.
Taste is also a little confusing. It starts with a warm sweetness that has a caramelized maltiness and an orange blossom floral flavor. A spicy hop throb moves through that metallic alcohol flavor breaking it up a little. The aftertaste is bittersweet with a nice malt backbone and a warmth from the ABV that isn't bad.
I don't know if its the warming of the beer or the 10% ABV but this one grows on you. I started out thinking it was a little harsh but about halfway through the beer comes together nicely. Add that to a creamy mouthfeel, a nice bite from the carbonation and spicy hops and this is a easy drinker with some character.

Had on tap at the brewery in early February 2014. Served in a snifter at an 8 ounce pour.
A good appearance to start things off. There's a finger thick, frothy head that I'd call very foamy. Beneath is an opaque, dark amber and brown liquid.
The nose is citrusy hops, orange peel, sweet malt and floral hops. I like what I smell.
I get a bit of an offtaste on the tongue at first, something metallic, but then the taste improves dramatically. Citrusy hops come in, followed by sweet creamy malt, then the floral hops show up and complement the citrus. A good mix. As the beer warms a bit I detect notes of vanilla and caramel too.
Aside from the metallic taste that is a bit harsh on the tongue initially, I found this beer to be smooth, sweet and creamy. If not for that offtaste, I'd absolutely love this beer.

22oz bottle from a nondescript liquor store in southwest Denver. I wonder if I ever saw Walter White drinking any of this brewery's products?
This beer pours a mostly clear, dark red brick amber hue, with a fistful of fingers of rising puffy, densely foamy, and somewhat creamy beige head, which leaves some spectral sudsy lace around the glass as things sink away.
It smells of heady bready, biscuity caramel malt, a hint of crystallized toffee, molasses, brown sugar, maple syrup, earthy, leafy hops, and a mild twinge of sweet alcohol. The taste is still pretty sweet, and complexly so, with more biscuity caramel malt, baba cakes, dry molasses, gritty demarara sugar, a bit of fresh black grapes, laid-back earthy, leafy hops, and a slight booze warming.
The bubbles are generally quite understated, just a dull hum throughout, the body a sturdy medium weight, and so-so in its smoothness, a needling prickliness hovering about. It finishes off-dry, not as sweet as one might have been expecting, as the biscuity character takes center stage, the earthy, leafy hops loitering as well.
A decently understated American barleywine, if we're to take their word for it. I think this tastes exactly what an Imperial ESB might want to taste like, so that would default to English all around in my book. Anyways, well-made, and definitely not too heavy, other than in the ABV, which is conspicuous only in its general absence. Wait for it, I know.

An amusing name and label, if a little tough on the birds (beaks can't do crap against a gun-toting dog). This is my first New Mexico beer; thanks to msubulldog25 for making it happen.
Served at cellar temp. Appearance is very much par for the barleywine course. Rusted ruby with slow bubbles and a small head.
What happened to the aroma? My sniffer is just fine today, so it seems the aromas have up and died with the chickens. There are incredibly small traces of cherry licorice, alcohol and malty sweetness...otherwise not much else to report.
Flavor isn't much better. Best characteristic is a creamy sweetness like that of real vanilla ice cream (half of the credit claimed by the light, velvety texture). There's a heartier, bigger flavor trying to come through, that syrupy, sweet, boozy base you'll get in a good barleywine. But nothing knocks me over the head and reveals this as a killer of anything. And that's what I want in an American Barleywine. Finishes with some cherry/vanilla tart/sweet elements. Again, the mouthfeel is nice: smooth, fluffy and creamy, somewhat reminding of steamed milk.
For all the boasting on the label ("revolutionary", "will someday define America's unique BW style"), this hardly stands a chance against 100 other better US Barleywines. Maybe they mean "someday, when we actually brew a killer barleywine..." Best thing about it is that the 10% alcohol hides with rest of the expected flavors. And the flashes of vanilla ice cream are nice. But considering the style, this is surprisingly, disappointingly Blah.

A most drinkable barleywine. Nicely balanced with the caramel malting and the normal barleywine taste,some dates, this one will transition people to barleywines. Brownish colour with good head. Above average mouthfeel, although above average carbonation.

Santa fe got to love a local brew... By local one of the closests in west Texas. Hops are prevalant but in this barleywine it shares the light with the malt well. Pipes dark to medium brown with milk chocolate head. Smell is of noble hops and taste is a decent mix between malt and hops. The aftertaste is clean and subtle ipa like. Overall a good local big beer

Thanks to csmiley for this one. A Barleywine from New Mexico? Who knew?
Chicken Killer pours a reddish copper color. It's a little hazy, and has quite a few yeast particles swimming around. Interesting. A vanilla head caps it off and stands over two and a half fingers tall. It's slow to recede, and leaves a thick, sticky coat of lace lining the glass.
The nose is good. It starts out with a strong caramel/toffee scent. Nevertheless, it doesn't smell overly sweet. Dark fruit is rather prominent. Raisin and plum add nice depth and work well with the malts. There's also a hint of apple. Interesting mix, but it works. I've had this bottle for quite a while, so the lack of hops doesn't surprise me. Hard to tell if there was ever much. Alcohol is masked well for 10%.
The flavor is likewise pretty good. This is pretty impressive stuff. It has a nice, strong caramel malt base. It's sweeter than it smells. Raisin and plum flavors are prominent, and add a really nice, slightly tangy flavor to the mix. There is a bit of golden fruit, as well (mostly just apple). The mix of dark and golden fruits, while novel, works well. I like the flavor quite a bit. There's not much going on in the hop department. Perhaps I sat on this bottle too long. Perhaps they were never here. Their presence is missed. Alcohol is noted, but isn't overly strong.
Chicken Killer has a medium body that feels thicker with a little warming. Carbonation is relatively light, and it is smooth. Drinkability is good. The flavor is surprisingly nice, and it goes down relatively smooth and easy for a big beer.
I'm pretty impressed with what I believe is my first beer from New Mexico. Chicken Killer is quite a flavorful American Barleywine that's mild mannered, and relatively balanced. I would prefer a little more in the hop department, but that's my preference for the style. For those who like their American Barleywines more balanced, check out Chicken Killer. You'll likely enjoy it.

Could've swore I reviewed this before, but old age might be tricking me,,, 22 OZ bomber
Pours an effervescent reddish caramel with 2 fingers+ of brownish sandy colored head. Superior lacing & head retention
S: Bready with hints of brown sugar
T: Bready & fruitty (dates) with a little too much boozeyness up front. Some slight chocolate & herbal hops. Oaky dryness & breadyness dominate the finish, with a little fruittyness (dates, spiced apples & some pears) thrown in for good measure & little more dryness & alcohol burn, plus a wee bit of maple syrup sweetness
MF: Chewy with medium carbonation, pretty rich & sticky
Drinks great for the ABV. Skews to an English style BW IMO, fans of those will love this. A little more finesse with the malt & or alcohol taste than this offers or some more hops to get this to the upper ecehelons of BWs. Still way better than the 1st time I had it, but snow is falling, maybe it's all about the weather??

By Ken de la Bastide Kokomo Tribune
Kokomo Tribune
---- — Another local government agency is planning to cut part-time employee hours in order to avoid having to provide them with health insurance.
Howard County joins Tipton and Miami counties in reducing the number of hours that a part-time employee can work. A provision in the Affordable Care Act, which is being challenged by several Indiana school districts and the state, requires employers with more than 50 workers to provide health insurance to anyone working more than 30 hours a week or face a fine.
The Obama administration delayed implementation of the mandate until 2014.
The Howard County Commissioners on Oct. 7 approved a revision to the employee handbook that spells out what is considered full-time employment and states part-time employees will be allowed to work no more than 28 hours per week.
Currently the only part-time employees working for Howard County who are eligible for health insurance coverage are contract professionals, including the attorneys in the Howard County prosecutor's office or who work as a public defender.
The revision in the handbook policy makes those employees ineligible for county health insurance.
Wanda McKillip, administrator for the county's personnel department, said the number of part-time employees who will have their hours reduced is unknown.
She said each department head receive a form to complete with each employees status in terms of hours worked.
The revision specifies the following:
• Full-time employees are those who work 35 hours or more per week.
• An exception was made for correction officer, dispatcher and Kinsey Center trainees who are hired on temporary training status and could be assigned to work a full or part time shift. That status remains in effect for one year and after that time if they are not hired on a full-time basis will have their hours reduced to 28 in any given week.
• Full-time employees not covered by a public retirement plan who work more than 30 hours per week for the county will be eligible to receive health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
• Seasonal employees are those who work up to 120 days per year and are not eligible for county employee benefits including vacation, holiday and sick pay. They are not eligible to receive health insurance through the county.

High-quality service is hard to come by. Good service is plentiful, but service that is at once unobtrusive yet closely attentive, and that makes the patron feel important without any fawning by the server — that's rare.
Yet I found it at M.Y. China, Martin Yan's duplicate version of his Market Street restaurant in San Francisco, located in the Graton Resort & Casino in Rohnert Park. The service itself was a big part of the pleasure of dining there.
There is a downside to the location. The restaurant is open to the casino floor, so it can be noisy. Worse, because Indian casinos can allow smoking, the smell from the gaming floor tends to waft into M.Y. China.
M.Y. China at Graton Resort & Casino
As you walk into the restaurant, there's a large full bar where you can eat and drink and watch the noodle pullers. These guys are adults' equivalent of the pizza throwers at Mary's Pizza Shacks that so entertain the kids. It's fun to watch them pull long ropes of dough out to the full length of their outstretched arms, then twist the dough into coils, then pull it back out.
The noodles go into dishes like Beijing Knife-Cut Noodles ($12, 3 stars). Pieces of a noodle rope are laid hot in the bottom of a bowl. They're topped with cool cucumbers, bean sprouts, a puff of carrot threads, and a sprig or two of cilantro. A hot, very spicy bean sauce containing black Chinese mushrooms is poured beside the vegetables.
As you fish down in the bowl to bring up a piece of noodle, you also get smidgens of the other ingredients that combine in different ways — all fresh and delicious. It's a fun and interesting bowl of very good food.
This is not a typical Chinese restaurant with a hundred combinations of a handful of ingredients. These are creations by master cooks Martin Yan and executive chef Tony Wu.
The walls of the main dining room are a strong pattern of black and white lit from below, while ceiling partitions are red.

MCCAMEY - Upton County Sheriff Dan Brown confirms to NewsWest 9 that 38-year-old Deputy Billy (Bubba) Kennedy was shot and killed in the line of duty.
The incident took place at Stripes Convenience Store in McCamey. Deputy Kennedy encountered a male subject and multiple shots were fired.
The suspect, who is identified Gary David Green, is recovering from gunshot wounds at the hospital.
We're told that Green has a long wrap sheet for drugs and fighting and he's no stranger to prison. In fact, he was out on parole when the shooting happened.
According to court records, he's known as the "Pink Panther" Green.
He's been arrested several times in the past for aggravated assault, possession of marijuana and DWI.
In 2001, Green was behind bars in the Huntsville Prison in Southeast Texas.
Green was on parole until March of 2016.

I personally doubt they'll be using the 1D4 system, they'd still have to redesign it from the ground up for a FF sensor anyway. I think it's much more likely that it will get a less robust version of the 1DXs 61 point. In that way they can increase the economy of scale by using essentially the same AF system in their entire FF line up.
good point.
Well, not trolling at all: what can be expected noise wise from an upcoming body, let's say if there is really an extension up to 102k as the rumored body in the CR3d post concerning an imminent announcement mentioned?

On tap at the Great Divide tap takeover - the day before Brewvival 2012
Appearance: The beer displays a chestnut color with a modest head that leaves just a few spots of lace
Smell: Caramel, chocolate and white balsamic vinegar
Taste: Caramel and chocolate, up front, with a growing tartness that has a grape and balsamic vinegar tartness; very tart but light on funk right through the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation; very puckery
Overall: Like the way the caramel and chocolate elements make a difference to this sour; I know a lot of the folks at Brewvival didn't like this beer due to its overwhelming sourness but I didn't find it undrinkable when I tasted it the night before from a different keg

Had during Brewvival 2012! Served from tap into a Brewvival sampler imperial pint. Poured burnt orange with a half finger off-white head that subsided to a minimal amount slowly. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, glacial acetic acid, and fruit. The flavor was of sweet malt, pure vinegar, fruit, and tart. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a fairly decent brew. First off, I have never drank glacial acetic acid before, but work with it quite often at work. This brew is what I would imagine that it would taste like as far as the vinegar goes. It is just SO abrasive on this thing. Even on the nose you get so much vinegar that it is almost overwhelming. Personally, I love the smell of acetic acid, so I was a big fan of the aroma. But the flavor was just a little bit much. Just needed more sweetness to help balance out the intense vinegar aspect going on here. Tick.

On-tap at Brewvival 2102
Pours a dark amber-brown with a small ring of off-white bubbles. Whoa...lots of vinegar in the nose. Like, all vinegar. Maybe a touch of malt. Taste is ridiculously sour, 100 percent vinegar. is this a joke? Did Great Divide carbonate apple cider vinegar? I love a good sour beer, but complexity and depth are required, too, not just vinegar. Carbonation is sharp, with a medium mouthfeel. No way, this wasn't even drinkable, and upon pouring it out I imagine it burning through the ground, like the alien blood in Alien.

Right now, the floor of the 2013 International CES is buzzing with the sounds of speakers in all shapes and sizes. It's hard to escape, actually. However, Harman JBL is creating buzz for its latest release with a whopper of a price tag.
Harman JBL just announced its new flagship Project Everest DD67000 loudspeaker, which will be available next month for a cool $75,000 per pair.
The DD67000 boasts new woofers, a refined crossover network and an extended frequency response to beyond 50kHz. It has two 1501AL-2 cast-aluminum-frame woofers, a 476Be midrange/high-frequency compression driver, and a 045Be-1 ultra-high-frequency compression driver. Other features include computer-optimized Bi-Radial horns, acoustically inert SonoGlass material, and a DC bias system with four separate circuit boards for the crossover network.
The Project Everest DD67000 isn't too hard on the eyes, either. It has the curved and angled surfaces of its predecessor, with a dramatically flared midrange horn, a new carbon-fiber baffle trim panel and elegant rosewood and maple finishes.
"Our previous Project Everest DD66000 was a landmark sonic achievement," said Jim Garrett, director of marketing and product management for the Harman Luxury Audio Group and Loudspeakers. "However, in the six years since it was introduced, the Harman team in Northridge have not stood still. We have continued to advance the design to push the performance threshold of this class leading speaker, resulting in significant performance improvements that is sure to thrill the most veteran audiophiles and passionate music lovers."
Designed for almost any room, the JBL Project Everest DD67000 loudspeaker can be fine-tuned via front-mounted control panels. It will start selling in February with an MSRP of $75,000 per pair.

Fair Trade Comics: Cow Boy
Cow Boy is one of those comics that perfectly makes a case for the power and necessity of all-ages comics.
Cow Boy is one of those comics that perfectly makes a case for the power and necessity of all-ages comics.
Monsters is a mega-important comic if you're a person who likes to fuck.
There really are no words to describe how fantastic Comic-Con 2012 was, but Jason tries in vain to capture its enormity.
"This comic, while being autobiographical, falls into the trap of being told from one person's perspective, and therefore cannot be considered 100% fair or factual. Try to enjoy it despite this shortcoming."
There are so many great Fair Trade Comics on Kickstarter. Here are a couple to give you a kick in the rear end.
"This has been my life and I've no interest in doing anything else. But for most of that time, it's been about producing albums and bringing in money. Music for music's sake is something that interests me terribly right now."
Comics have been overdue for a rebellion, let's welcome it.
"It still puzzles me why they're coming to get information from you when they could just go out and buy the comic books themselves..."
David Hine and Shaky Kane threw a grenade into the room and nobody noticed when it exploded, but it just keeps exploding, over and over again with each new reader that discovers it.
For a year, Kevin Budnik sliced each day of his life up into four panels and served it to the reader without fear. And it was delicious.

Greetings. My name is the Royal Dutchess of Rover Rescue, but you may call me Dutchess. I come from the Red Tick Coonhound bloodline and I am a regal purebred. I am 4 years old and weigh a delicate 40 lbs. Even though my name indicates that I am nobility, it is obvious that in my past, I was not treated as such. When I first graced Rover Rescue with my presence, I was deathly scared of everyone and everything. My foster mother, a true saint, has been teaching me that life can be enjoyable and that people are not always a reason to fear. I am now looking for a "furever" family that will have a grand amount of patience as they continue to work with me and train me to be the best Dutchess I can be. I am still a work in progress! I would benefit greatly from having another dog on the estate to help build my confidence. I have learned from the common canines I live with now that love, attention and pats on the head are truly majestic. I think that walks are splendid, also. I know proper household etiquette and am housetrained. If you would like a proper lady to join your family, please do not hesitate to contact Teri at 630-897-7454.
· Dutchess is 4 years old
· Dutchess is up to date with routine shots

It's unclear exactly why Fresno State transfer Jalen Saunders might be able to play in 2012 for Oklahoma instead of sitting out a year, but Bob Stoops has every reason to hope with all his might that the speedy deep threat can line up for the Sooners immediately.
Stoops alluded to there being a "decent chance" transfer WR Jalen Saunders could get a waiver to play right away. Potential game-changer— Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) June 7, 2012
With multiple receivers among the several who lost scholarships after that bout of suspensions earlier in the summer, only Kenny Stills and freshman Trey Metoyer inspire any serious confidence ... otherwise, it's pretty much just freshmen who aren't Trey Metoyer. Still, they're all highly talented, but Metoyer has a little bit of an age advantage and had a monstrous spring.
Saunders, meanwhile, posted 1,156 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns as a sophomore, including a ridiculous 21.3 yards-per-catch average. That's second in the country to only Stephen Hill. The only catch: He doesn't want to play in the slot, despite being small. That's why he's leaving Fresno, in fact. OU definitely can't be choosy there.
