Ryan Reynolds denied appeal for sixth year
Coach Bob Stoops confirmed Monday that senior middle linebacker Ryan Reynolds has lost his appeal to the NCAA for a hardship waiver that would have given him an extra year of eligibility because of injuries. Instead, Reynolds, who overcame three major knee injuries while in college, will play his final game as a Sooner in the Sun Bowl. Reynolds missed OU's regular-season finale against Oklahoma State with a strained hamstring. Stoops, however, said Reynolds has been practicing and should be fine for the bowl game.

Press Release: IDW Announces New Transformers Digital Comic and MiniseriesA comics news article
San Diego, CA (July 13, 2012) – IDW Publishing and Hasbro are thrilled to announce the launch of two new comic book series: TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON and TRANSFORMERS PRIME – RAGE OF THE DINOBOTS. Together, these link the planet-shattering events of the Fall of Cyberton videogame (awarded E3's Best of Show by Game Informer) with the ongoing story of the Emmy© award winningTRANSFORMERS PRIME animated series produced by Hasbro Studios and currently airing on The Hub TV network!
"This will be the first time comics readers will see the DINOBOTS in the PRIME world," said IDW Senior EditorJohn Barber. "It's great to be a part of building on the PRIME universe in a meaningful way. This story will have repercussions throughout different media—and, more importantly, will be exciting comics!"
Starting in August, IDW will bring a new digital comic with TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON, a prequel to the much-anticipated videogame written by Barber (Transformers: Robots in Disguise) with art by Dheeraj Verma (Escape of the Living Dead). FALL OF CYBERTON tells the origin of the DINOBOTS—as they battle their way through SHOCKWAVE's forces in a prelude to the game. The series will run for six digital-only installments on a bi-weekly schedule, and will be available on ComiXology and other digital platforms.
In November, TRANSFORMERS PRIME – RAGE OF THE DINOBOTSlaunches, linking the events of the game and TRANSFORMERS PRIMEtelevision series together. With OPTIMUS PRIME and the Ark long gone, the DINOBOTS are forced to confront SHOCKWAVE again—this time with the fate of CYBERTON at stake. This mini-series will be written by Mike Johnson (Star Trek) and Mairghread Scott, the writer of the TRANSFORMERS: PRIME animated series. Artist Agustin Padilla (Dungeons & Dragons) will take on the interiors while illustrator Ken Christiansen will provide compelling covers.

Freshman Neff To Leave @FGCU_MBB Program For Family Reasons
FORT MYERS, Fla. - FGCU men's basketball head coach Joe Dooley announced Wednesday that incoming freshman Jordan Neff (Kennesaw, Ga./North Cobb HS) has chosen to return home to Kennesaw, Ga. for family reasons and will not play for the program.
"After meeting with Jordan, he expressed to me that he would prefer to return home due to family concerns," Dooley said. "We understand that family comes first and we support Jordan's decision." We thank Jordan for all the work he has put in this summer with the team, and we wish both him and his family the best."
Neff, a 6-7 forward, signed a National Letter of Intent on the first day of the early signing period last November. Neff led North Cobb High School to a 26-5 record last season and an appearance in the 2013 6A Georgia Final Four.
"I'd like to thank coach Dooley, the staff and my teammates for helping me improve on and off the floor the past few months," Neff said. "While this is a difficult decision for me to make, I know that at this time it is the right one for not only me but also my family. I wish my teammates and FGCU all the best this year."
FGCU, which returns four starters in 2013-14, became the first-ever No. 15 seed to advance to the Sweet Sixteen last year as it went 26-11 and claimed the Atlantic Sun Tournament title.

Jodi Arias sat quietly in the courtroom Thursday as prosecutors presented new evidence in her high-profile murder trial.
Jurors listened to a phone recording Arias had with Mesa Police Det. Estaban Flores, shortly after her former boyfriend, Travis Alexander, was found murdered to death in his Mesa home in 2008.
Alexander had been stabbed 27 times and shot in the head.
Here is an excerpt of the phone conversation:
Arias: "I just wanted to offer any assistance I might have ... I was a really good friend of Travis' and I just ... don't know a lot of anything."
Flores: "What have you heard so far?"
Arias: "I heard that he was ... he passed away ... I don't know. I heard all kinds of rumors that there was a lot of blood. I heard that his roommate found him ... people were ... I'm sorry ... I'm upset. I heard nobody has been able to get a hold of him for about a week."
Arias, 32, was later asked why the victim's friends we're immediately suspicious that Arias had something to do with Alexander's death.
"I needed to talk to you to find out why they would be say something like that," Flores said. "Why would they start pointing fingers in your direction?"
Arias replied, "I don't know. Maybe because I'm an ex-girlfriend. We had a lot of fights."
Defense attorneys spent the afternoon trying to depict the victim as a sexual deviant, alleging that Alexander abused Arias, often calling her a slut and other sexually offensive names.
Defense attorneys told jurors that Alexander was abusive and that Arias acted in self-defense when she killed him.

As Gov. Rick Scott pushes to broaden support for reelection he has reversed course and backed more money for K-12 education and keeping college tuition affordable — both popular measures with most Floridians. Unfortunately, the governor issued a veto last week that was as short-sighted as it was mean-spirited for one group of students: the so-called Dreamers.
The bill, passed almost unanimously by the Republican-led Legislature, would have allowed teenage or adult children of undocumented immigrants to get a temporary driver's license once they have been approved by the federal government for "deferred action" to work under the Obama administration's new policy that began last summer. After the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, Florida was among the first states to require immigration papers for a driver's license.
Veto message
In his veto message, Gov. Scott questioned the policy that President Obama started last June. "It was never passed by Congress, nor is it a promulgated rule," the governor wrote. "Given that deferred action status does not confer substantive rights or lawful status upon an individual, Florida is best served by relying on current state law."
No, it's not. Florida is best served by bright, hard-working people who want to thrive in our society. The Dreamers are young people who did not chose to come to the United States without proper paperwork — their parents did. These children have grown up American and want to contribute to our society. They are now legally here under rules that allow it — and not all such rules have to be passed by Congress. Deferred action has been used in many immigration cases over many years. In this case, any young adult under age 31, who arrived here before turning 16, is in school or has graduated or wants to serve in the military and has no felony conviction can apply for deferred status.
As it stands, young immigrants who have been approved through deferred action can apply for a driver's license once they have a work permit, and some already have obtained their driver's license in Florida. The legislation would have clarified state law so that obtaining a driver's license wouldn't become another stumbling block to legality. The governor just set up a huge obstacle.
"Now Dreamers in Florida with no criminal history will have work permits but won't be able to drive to school or to work — that is nonsense," noted state Rep. José Javier Rodriguez, one of the bill's sponsors. He's right.
Earned sick time
Meanwhile, the governor has another bill on his desk, HB 655, which he should veto.
The legislation would outlaw any local ordinance that allows working families to earn sick time at work. The vast majority of Florida voters support earned sick time, according to several polls. Local communities should have the opportunity to decide for themselves, but a citizen-led referendum in Orange County that's up for a vote next year seems to have upped the ante.
Already, women with strollers filled with thousands of petitions seeking a veto of HB 655 have made their way to Tallahassee to press the governor for his support.
Having turned his back on the children of immigrants, Gov. Scott should consider what earned sick time would do to help all working parents become productive and loyal employees while they balance family obligations.
It shouldn't be an either-or proposition. Let the voters decide.

Comprised of two basses and drums, Roussemoff take an agressive and minimal approach to all things big and rumbly. Formed in 2007 and comprised of members of rhythm sections from A State of Flux, Sleep Parade and Johnny Uppercut, the Melbourne-based trio draws from a diverse range of sonic influences, from Meshuggah, My Disco and Sunn O))), to Autechre, Earth and The Dillinger Escape Plan. The strong rhythmic basis, pant-flappingly low frequencies and attention to deep groove is what catalyzes Roussemoff's lasting impact on both audiences and fellow musicians alike. "If you haven't heard these guys but dig your plodding, bass-based doom, then you definitely want to head over to their Bandcamp page and get this release." - Metalobsession.net With secret direct-to-tape location recordings currently in the works, and with a year of numerous guerrilla recording projects behind them - including a tracking session inside the now-demolished Amcor printing and packaging facility - Roussemoff are rolling out a special limited-edition handmade version of their 'R(live.01)' EP, available through their website (www.roussemoff.org) from Tueday 1st of May; the digital version version is available as a free download. Mixed by Myles Mumford (Martin Martini and the Bone Palace Orchestra, Lamplight, Peter Knight) the EP in question is a run of 100 handmade/handprinted CD packages (ink printed on recycled brown card, acetate liner notes; lovely - hand rolled and handmade by the band themselves). Myles Mumford's organic approach works greatly to amplify Roussemoff's own uniquely organic approach to heaviness within the collection of live gems spanning two years of work.

It's been a busy year so far for first responders.
Emergency sirens are becoming more common in the Lady's Island-St Helena community.
There have been several fires and wrecks in the area in just the last few weeks, and the Lady's Island-St Helena Fire District has already exceeded its total call volume from last year.
"We've identified that we are on track to being far busier this year than we have in the last year, two or even three years," said Lee Levesque, Lady's Island–St Helena Fire District PIO.
Within the last 10 months, the department has responded to 48 structure fires and roughly 30 water rescue calls.
In 2012, it was the opposite, with 37 fires and 60 water calls. The fire district averages 15-20 car accidents per month.
"In the last two months and even this year, those numbers are all up in an excess of 20 percent to 30 percent. not only the number of calls for car accidents but also the severity of the injuries has increased greatly."
Last year, the fire district responded to 2,300 calls total and they've already passed that mark this year. Levesque suspects it could increase as much as 25 percent by the end of the year.
It doesn't just end there. Fire departments like Lady's Island-St Helena will use those statistics to develop public safety campaigns that could reduce those types of calls in the future.
"For example, going to a home fire, was there a smoke detector? Was there a fire extinguisher? In a car accident, where were they sitting? Did they have their seat belts?
Levesque believes part of the reason they've had fewer water rescue calls this year was because of their public water safety education.
The fire department is hoping that by this time next year, they will see fewer emergency calls across the board.

Ciaran Hinds: "Being on Set on Harry Potter was Nerve-Wracking"Actor Interviews
Ciarán Hinds (Aberforth Dumbledore) has given a new interview to Scotland's Daily Record in which he describes his experience on set filming "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" as "nerve-wracking":
"It was surreal to be in a room with those three kids, all of whom know exactly what they're doing. And then there's you, who has been around for a long time, and they're the ones putting you at ease and making sure you know what you're doing on set. It was bizarre. But it was also really interesting to see things from that perspective. With every job, you're typically looking for the director to make sure you're doing the right thing but with Emma, Rupert and Daniel, that has become part of their psyche. They've been doing that job so long, they have such ease and an instant connection with it, and a real truthfulness."Hinds said drawing up the schedules around everyone's availability must have been a "nightmare" as everyone was committed to other projects. The actor also appears alongside Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) in the film "The Woman in Black" and said of Radcliffe:
"He's very good, but he will get better and better. He's very committed to it, and although he's not a bustling figure, he's a very thoughtful and thorough professional. He has had to do all sorts of murky stuff filming The Woman In Black and I know he has been taking singing and dancing lessons before heading off to take part in a play on Broadway. It's not about glamour, it's about doing things well."Hinds further spoke about working in television and theatre, as he appeared tonight and yesterday in ITV police drama "Above Suspicion". Read the full interview with Ciarán at this link.

CATEGORIES MoviesFollowing months of delays and preparations, earth artist Michael Heizer's latest creation, "Levitated Mass" (showing at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art), will receive its centerpiece: a 340-ton chunk of granite known, fittingly, as "The Rock."
According to the AP, "The artist plans to have the rock placed over a 456-foot-long trench in such a way that when museum visitors walk underneath it will appear to be floating in the air above them." Fun! But how does The Rock compare to that other Los Angeles landmark known as The Rock: movie star Dwayne Johnson? Ahead, Moviefone pits The Rock vs. The Rock. Who will emerge victorious?
LOCATION: The Rock lives in Los Angeles, and -- though he still has property in Florida -- recently sold a Miami home. Since last year, "The Rock" had been residing in a rock quarry outside Riverside, Calif. It will now travel 60 miles to LACMA. Advantage: The Rock.
GOALS: In addition to contemplating a future career in politics, The Rock is also fond of bringing it and putting boots to asses. "The Rock" will travel for 11 days and then be a rock. Advantage: The Rock.
CAREER: Thanks to the success of "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," The Rock has seen his films gross over $1 billion domestically since debuting in "The Scorpion King." "The Rock" is a rock. Advantage: The Rock.
SIZE: According to his Wikipedia page (always accurate, obviously), The Rock is six-foot-five-inches tall and 275 pounds. "The Rock" weighs 340 tons. Tons. Advantage: "The Rock."
TWITTER PRESENCE: The Rock has over 2.1 million followers. "The Rock" is still a rock. Advantage: The Rock.
In a runaway, The Rock handily defeats "The Rock" for Los Angeles Rock supremacy. Congratulations, Rock!
The "Levitated Mass" exhibition is scheduled to open at LACMA next month.

The Works of John Bunyan; 3 Vols. Edited by George Offor; 1991, Banner of Truth, $116.95 Reviewed by Tom Ascol
Bunyan is best known for his ageless classic, The Pilgrim's Progress. His literary genius in this work that people are prone to forget that this tinker from Bedford was first and foremost a Pastor and preacher.
That "Prince of Theologians," John Owen, said this to King Charles in Bunyan's defense: "Could I possess the tinker's abilities for preaching, I would willingly relinquish all my learning."
Banner of Truth has done a great service to the Christian church by making available once again the works of Bunyan. In these 3 volumes are included not only some lesser known, yet valuable allegorical works (The Holy War, Heavenly Footman, Life & Death of Mr. Bad Man), but also many of Bunyan's sermons and expositions.
This set is not inexpensive, but its 2300 pages are bound in the typical high quality, Banner style and its spiritual, doctrinal and devotional content is priceless.
A Journey in Grace: A Theological Novel by Richard P. Belcher; 1990, 154 pp. Crowne Publications, $8.95
Reviewed by Donna Ascol
A Journey in Grace, Dr. Belcher's first novel, combines a stimulating story line with a wealth of theology. The story involves a young theological student, Ira Pointer, who is challenged by a pulpit committee with the question, "Young man, are you a Calvinist?" Ignorant of Calvinism, Ira begins a biblical and historical search to discover exactly what the "doctrines of grace" are and how they relate to his life and ministry.
Dr. Belcher has managed to outline and explain the historical and doctrinal aspects of Calvinism while capturing the reader's attention through the captivating events of Ira's life and personal relationships. Though the story is fictional where the characters are concerned many readers may see similarities in their own journeys in grace.
This book not only introduces and expounds the five tenets of Calvinism, but goes on to lay them bare before the scrutiny of the Scripture. An honest reader cannot help but examine his own doctrinal beliefs as well as any preconceived notions he might have concerning the practical outworkings of historical Calvinism.
Through this novel many less-studied readers have been afforded an opportunity to read and understand the theological intricacies of the doctrines of grace. Each chapter is short and concise with the important doctrinal points biblically explained.
A Journey in Grace has been one of the best selling books on our church's book table. It is excellent for new believers as well as for Christians who want to grow in the understanding of their faith. Because it is inoffensive and enjoyable to read this book is a great way to introduce others to the doctrines of grace.
A Journey in Purity: A Theological Novel by Richard P. Belcher; 1990, 213 pp. Crowne Publications, $10.95
Reviewed by Ted Manby
Church discipline. These words bring many different reactions to the average member of a local church. Dr. Belcher's second novel cuts to the heart of the issue as the story of First Baptist Church of Collegetown unfolds in this sequel to Journey in Grace. Pastor Ira Pointer accepted the call to this church with deep concern that only sixty of the thousand members were active. While he is faithfully teaching the obedient remnant, the sleeping giant of nine hundred inactive members awakens and tries to swallow both the pastor and the faithful members. Seventy of the inactive members form an opposition party with the ability to draw three hundred other inactives to any business meeting. The struggle for survival is on.
This exciting novel is full of surprises with many twists and turns. Once I began reading it, it was nearly impossible to put down. In the midst of the struggle, Pastor Pointer takes his deacons through an expositional study of a number of New Testament passages on church discipline. Thus, after you have read this book, you will not only enjoy an exciting story and be acquainted with the personal pain carried by all faithful pastors, but you will also be very familiar with biblical church discipline.
This is a book for everyone. Pastors and their wives will devour it and identify with the Pointer family throughout the story. Christians will enjoy it and learn some needed truths. Even older Christians who would be unwilling to read even a pamphlet on church discipline will read this work from cover to cover. Mature Christians will read it with tears of concern over the ruthless tactics of lost church members towards God's people and with tears of joy as they see God, in His sovereign grace, reach down and save sinners who are the least likely candidates to human eyes for grace.
With our local churches being filled with unregenerate and often hostile inactive members, this is a needed book for our undisciplined age. Our churches need to begin and/or continue on their journeys in purity. May God raise up a host of Pastor Pointers who will pay the price to follow the Scriptures in shepherding God's flock.

FAU Faculty Fighting For More
By Kim Miller
Florida Atlantic University's faculty sent out a press release dated Friday detailing their fight for bigger raises at the Boca Raton school.
The release says the faculty union made a request for a 10 percent raise – the same awarded FAU President Frank Brogan. What the university was offering before was the same as what staff is slated to receive, a 1 percent raise and one-time $1,000 bonus.
This from the release:
"While awarding Brogan with a 10% raise, the University offered the faculty a 1% raise and a one-time $1,000 bonus, which the Faculty Union (UFF) rejected. Union leaders noted that Brogan's acceptance of the 10% raise at the same time as the faculty was offered a 1% raise has led to a general loss of confidence in his leadership and contributed to plummeting faculty morale."
"FAU faculty are among the lowest paid on average in the state and country. The average salary of an associate professor at FAU is more than $4,000 less than that of their counterparts at Florida's other public universities, according to 2007-08 payroll data from The Chronicle of Higher Education. Associate professors at FAU are paid $7,200 less on average than those of identical rank at Florida International University. Worse, FAU pay lags by as much as $13,000 behind FAU's national peers institutions."
The two sides are expected to meet later this month again to continue contract negotiations and discuss salary.
FAU are among the lowest paid on average in the state, while the university as a whole is hurting from budget cuts that may only deepen this year.
"The Faculty Union contends that Brogan's stated commitment to making FAU a world-class university is not matched by a commitment to maintaining competitive faculty salaries" the release says. "As a result, many of the University's best professors are leaving to take better offers elsewhere. Brogan and the FAU administration blame low faculty salaries on the bad economy. But UFF points out that other public universities in Florida have maintained more competitive salaries while FAU has not."
The two sides are expected to meet again on or before Nov. 14.

BONHAM, TX-- In a digital age where couples around the world find love through online dating and social media, it's not uncommon to fall in love with someone without ever meeting them face to face. That may be true now, but what about sixty years ago?
Tonight, a local couple shares their story of a lengthy pen-pal, turned to love relationship, that ended with their marriage just days after meeting. Now sixty-two years later, they're still as much in love as ever.
"I just have a deep love and respect and caring for her that is just unexplainable," Bonham resident Louis Holmes said.
Louis and Edna Holmes recently celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary with an admiration for each other that's only continued to grow throughout the years.
"I like his strength. I don't mean muscle, but I like his strength," Edna said.
"Knowledge is what she is trying to say," Louis said.
"No {it's} his manly way of looking at things," Edna corrected.
These days the two are pretty much inseparable.
"Our presence together's okay, and always satisfying to us, but we really do like different things," Edna said. "He loves sports. He likes to watch the ball games. I love to read and I love to write. I like to write in my journals," Edna said.
In fact, it was Edna's love of writing that led her to the love of her life. In 1948, 18-year-old Louis was serving in the army and stationed in Japan with Edna's cousin, Charles. Charles knew how much Edna loved to write and had noticed that his friend Louis had not been receiving a lot of mail.
"He suggested why don't you write my cousin, she'll write to you, so I thought I got nothing to loose so I wrote to kitten the first letter. {It was} a letter of introduction and I got a reply," Louis told us.
Edna was just 14-years-old when she wrote her first letter to Louis. The two quickly became pen pals and even kept in touch after Louis was sent to Korea shortly after the war began.
"All the soldiers in the mail room were kind of a little bit jealous because they were always calling Holmes, Homes, Holmes" Louis said, laughing.
It was through the letters that they got to know each other better.
"We spoke about marriage, (after some time) and after a couple years we spoke about having a family, a little boy and a little girl" Louis said.
After Louis returned home from Korea in 1951, the two made plans to meet for the first time at a bus station Vernon, Texas. Louis would be traveling in a Greyhound with his mother, while Edna would be waiting there for him in a pink dress.
"I walked out for the first time and I looked in that car window and saw her and for the first time she saw me and we were speechless," Louis said.
He wasn't speechless for long. The couple spent five days talking non-stop and as the trip came to an end, they decided to get married.
"It began to dawn on him, and me, that when he left there we wouldn't know when we'd see each other again," Edna said. "He was still in the military and I was in school and Texas and Illinois are a long ways apart. I think that's when it began to formulate in our minds that if this is going to go any further we'll have to be married," Edna explained.
On June 10th, 1951 the two were married and the couple has been making it work ever since. They did get their boy and their girl and are now the proud grandparents to five grand kids.
So what's their secret to success?
"It doesn't always come easy to everybody," Louis said. "You have to have something in common with the person you're marrying and we found out through writing that we had a lot of things in common. We found out that we really loved each other and we've loved each other ever since. We've not kept secrets from each other and we know each other like a book."
Although some may say this is a great ending to fairytale love story, Louis and Edna say there are still several chapters left to write.

Even though Iam not the biggest fan of this style of brew I enjoy a good quaffing brown from time to time thats why I grabbed this when given the chance.Poured into a standard pint glass a deep chestnut colored brown with 1/2 finger slight off white head that held good retention,unsweetenend chocolate and earth stick out most in the nose not sweet by any means wich is nice.Starts out with chocolate presence on the palate more of a lightly sweet chocolate not much sweetness a little nutty but not overly roasted either finishing earthy.A solid quaffing brown with just enough sweetness to make it a little interesting,a pretty good session brown here.

Appearance Ruby dark brown in color with lots of active carbonation. The head made an effort but fell short.
Smell Pure, unadulterated caramel-infused toasted malt.
Taste Theres a bit of a hop balance in there, but mostly this one is all about the heavy caramel and toasted malts. The refined sugars join the party as well, making this ale a sweet one for sure.
Mouthfeel Smooth, very sweet and sticky, and somewhat refreshing. This medium-bodied ale showed just a little carbonation.
Drinkability I enjoyed this sweetened interpretation of the style, and the hop compliment was just enough to balance things out. Well done!

This is one of my favorite beers. If you are a fan of brown ales then this is a must try. It's very affordable, and a pleasure every time I buy it. It's sweet, smooth, dark, and extremely enjoyable- great as a dessert beer. The only drawback is I would not recomend drinking a whole bunch of them. The first one or two are great, then the taste gets kind of old. It would be like eating a ton of ice cream. It's good tasting but I dont think I want to eat the whole tub.

12oz. bottle poured into a Bells tulip glass
It pours a ruddy brown with a soapy bone colored head. The head dies down quickly to form a sticky bubble ring around the edge of the glass. A nice deep garnet color shines through the sides of the glass.
Sweet crystal malts dominate the nose. The sweetness is over the top. Behind that some biscuit toasted English type malts hit my nose.
The crystal sweetness in the nose doesn't form in the flavor. Instead a nice burst of low roasted coffee comes through nicely. That bready biscuit flavor then takes up the remaining flavor. No hop flavor is present but a balancing bitterness is present which doesn't makes this beer overly malty and sweet.
Mouthfeel is on the low to medium level with a higher carbonation. I would prefer a fuller mouthfeel with less carbonation. Drinkability is high, this is a easy to drink unoffensive beer that I can see appealing to a massive amount of drinkers.

From BeerAdvocate Magazine Volume II, Issue III:
This beer has gained cult status over the years. Decent head retention, enough to get by. Very dark chestnut color with a glowing clarity when brought up to the light. Hint of plum and apple fruitiness in the nose with aromas of faint peppery, minty herbal hop and nutty breadiness. Sharp carbonation up front with a creamy, smooth mouthfeel and a moderate body. Brown bread, toasted husk and nutty throughout. Breadiness goes far and keeps the flavor going for a good while. Ghost bicarbonate flavor. Oily hop lends a substantial amount of flavor with a mild bitterness. Touch of apple skin, raisin, brown sugar and carob in the semi-dry finish.
A solid Brown Ale to be had here, very drinkable. Without a doubt it's a good pick when it comes to Brown Ales.

I really enjoyed this brew. The pour was fantastic with a great dark brown color that left a huge head and great lacing. The scent was not too powerful but I could detect notes of sweet malts and nuttines. The taste of this beer was great as well with some slight smokiness to it along with a nice nutty malt flavor. The hops snuck in there a little bit but not much. This is a very drinkable beer and one that could be sessionable if it were not so costly here on the west coast!

Pours a pretty dark amber color. Smell is quite weak. Don't get much at all. Taste, while average, is still pretty good. Chocolate is prominent, as well as some caramel. There may be a slight sourness, and the mouthfeel is a bit thin.
I've seen this beer for years, even before I was into craft brews, but never picked it up. I'm glad I finally did, because it's a nice brew!

Picked up this single a little while back, time to pop it open. Pours into my glass a deep dark, brown with chestnut hues as well. A nice half inch of light tan foam sits atop the brew. Aromas begin with some nice toasty, caramel infused roasted malts upfront along with a nice nutty aspect as well. Herbal hops float around in the background. Maybe a touch of dark fruit as well. Pretty nice!
First sip brings a nice sturdy roasted maltiness upfront with notes of caramel, nuts, brown sugar and a touch of cocoa. Flows down with a light sweetness and toasted bread flavor with a bit of herbal hoppiness on the finish. Really clean with a nice flavor profile...just a solid brown ale.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a nice chewiness. Plenty of carbonation that works in well with the beer overall. Drinkability is pretty high here...would be a nice six pack to bring to a party. A tasty brown ale and the first Big Sky brew I've sampled...I will be on the lookout for this one again and more of their lineup as well!

A - Deep translucent brown pour yields about an inch of light brown head. Retention isn't great, not much lacing. Lots of carbonation sticking to the sides of the glass.
S - Sweet malts with a faint amount of hops. Not much of an aroma, but pleasant enough.
T - Some earthy malts up front with a slightly bitter finish. Simple, but not bad.
M - Light but not overly thin mouthfeel with moderate carbonation.
O - Certainly not a great beer, but a pretty solid brown ale. Not my favorite style, but this is pretty enjoyable.

12 oz bottle. Pours brown with ruby highlights. It has a good sized fluffy light brown head that lasts and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet chocolate malt with some coffee and butterscotch notes.
The flavor is sweet lactic chocolate and caramel, nuts and a little roastiness with a little acidic bitterness that gives it a dry finish. It is medium bodied and a little chalky with a decent amount of carbonation.
Overall, decent but nothing to write home about. A solid backyard brew.

This ale is a beautiful dark caramel brown, but the head doesn't last very long after pouring, and I wish it were a bit creamier. The taste is lovely, light on the hops and spices but a robust "ale" flavor. The smell suffers as it lacks hops and spices to be very aromatic, but if one suffers over another, the taste better be there for me. Mouthfeel is nice and hearty, and leaves a crispness on the tongue -- not at all bitter to my tastebuds.

UFO are one of the last true original rock bands left. And on this — their latest — Phil Mogg's voice is as classic and unmistakable as any you're likely to hear…Michael Schnenker's guitar is as punchy and riff-laden as ever….Pete Way looks and sounds the same as he did 10-15 years ago…and the only relative "newcomer" is drummer Aynsley Dunbar, who manages to kick some serious behind to give each song a crispness that a less accomplished drummer might have left to chance.I agree with previous reviewers. Sharks isn't as good as Walk On Water, but it's miles ahead of Covenant.The first song ("Outlaw Man") is a catchy rocker that kicks off the CD beautifully…and the riffs just keep on coming after that. Phil really sounds good. And Schenker (although he looks like Brad Pitt of late, or a throwback to ZZ Top's heyday in the '70s) delivers the goods. "Shadow Dancer" (track 5) sounds like a riff from Walk On Water, but it's still just different enough to be considered original."Someone's Gonna Have to Pay" is a George Thoroughgood-like blues-based rocker that bumps and grinds its way along to its ringing cymbal crash ending…and quickly seques into "Sea of Faith," the CD's most different sounding song. Schenker's opening guitar riff sounds more like alternative rock than classic rock, but the intensity kicks in momentarily and the song becomes trademark UFO."Fighting Man" (track is perfect UFO swagger and bluster. The riff sounds like it would have fit well on Obsession, though Mogg's voice is tucked squarely into Walk on Water-era UFO. Not a bad juxtaposition, just noticable."Perfect View" begins with an almost Ted Nugent-like ferocity…leading to "Crossing Over" and the ballad-like "Hawaii," a Schenker composition that closes the album on a '60s-era surf-guitar note. A strange, short ending, but a very good CD overall.Fans of UFO won't be disappointed with Sharks. I wasn't.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
In almost a full return of the classic 70's lineup, they release "Sharks" with some disappointment for this critic. I am a lover of 70's hard rock, and in my opinion UFO was one of the Top 3 bands of that time, if not #1. I love this band's writing style, vocals, and incredible musicianship. So, I come to expect a lot from them…maybe too much. This record sounds like a classic hard rock band from the 70's that is still very talented, but has just run out of ideas. I don't expect these bands to reinvent themselves each time out, but I do expect the material to sound fresh. We get a fresh sound on about half this record, the other half just sounds like it's going through the motions. A lot of the problem for these older bands, I believe, comes in the production department. Is it possible that there are not enough "effects" on the record? I am not a fan of over-production and silly effects taking away from the musicianship on a recording, but a few "cool" effects now and then might juice things up a bit. Make a cymbal jump out at the listener, pump up one particular instrument on a song here and there, how about some cool wind sounds, make a guitar solo zip through a phase shifter…I mean you got Michael Schenker for Chrissakes!!! You don't have to be cliched when you do some of this stuff. Just a touch here or there might just add a much needed spark here. This is not a badly produced record, it's just not anything to rave about. It's a little too simple for a band that's been doing it this long, they need to freshen up the sound a bit in the production end of things. Now to really confuse all of you, I don't dislike the record! I just don't feel that it's enough for what I know this band is capable of. When you see the lineup as Phil Mogg, Michael Schenker, Pete Way, and the added extra Aynsley Dunbar of all people, you come to expect perfection. This is typical UFO writing, with the classic rock formula of, verse-chorus-verse-SCHENKER SOLO-chorus-fade out, that was so successful for them throughout their entire career. I love this formula. It works. It's just that the Schenker solo is just a little more tame, and the chorus's sound a bit flat at times, both of which could be greatly improved with some knob turning. All in all, the songs are decent UFO songs. When you hear "Outlaw Man" open up the album, any UFO fan will be excited and anxious to hear the rest. As you proceed to the second track, "Quicksilver Rider", the excitement should still be high, as this is another solid song. Track 3 is slightly weaker, and track 4 a little more so, etc. I really feel that it sounds less impressive as you go because of the writing in small part, yes, but the lack of some kind of "spark" is really what keeps this uninteresting. Some of the key songs here are: "Outlaw Man" "Quicksilver Rider" "Shadow Dancer"probably the best track on the album, "Someone's Gonna Have To Pay" "Perfect View" "Crossing Over" OK, I love this band. I just want to love this album…but, I don't. I do like it. Like everything else I seem to grab these days, it is an average outing.OVERALL RATING: 5 (1-10 scale)For more Dr. Music reviews, visit http://www.new-sounds.com/DrMusic
In a perfect world U.F.O. would have been huge, they were and are truely, one of the great "lost" gems of the last 25 years. With "Sharks" U.F.O. have made a watershed album, yet again. It blows their previous release "Covenant" completely away. With that release they sounded tired and listless. It had its moments, but for the most part was generic and pedestrian. NOT SO NOW!! "Sharks" easily ranks as one of their greatest discs. From the opening riff of "Outlaw Man" to the next track "Quicksilver Rider", you hardly have time to catch your breath. The beautiful "Serenity" and the album closer "Hawaii" are testaments to the virtuosity of Michael Schenker's guitar prowess. There isn't a bad or throw away track here, the disc is as strong as any album they've ever made. The core of the "classic" line-up is still intact. Phil Mogg's vocals are as strong as ever, Michael Schenker's guitar just rips this disc to shreds, and Pete Way's bass thumps as steady as ever. Throw in Aynsley Dunbar's Thundering drum work, and you've got all the elements for a great record. And this time it works! Other standout tracks are "Shadow Dancer", "Fighting Man", and the soon-to-be classic "Someone's Gonna Have to Pay". The only draw back I have to this disc is the absence of long time U.F.O. producer Ron Nevison. I would have really liked to have heard what he could have done at the boards on this one. But that is just a minor flaw of an otherwise strong output. Other discs by U.F.O. I suggest (I have them all!) are: "Lights Out", "Obsession", "Strangers in the Night", "The Wild, The Willing and The Innocent", "Making Contact" (The Sorely overlooked) "High Stakes and Dangerous Men" and the modern classic "Walk on Water". Any of these discs are better than 98% of the … thats on the air today!! These guys should have been bigger than Nirvana, or at least Whitesnake. They're better than either.
"Sharks", UFO's latest release is excellent but certainly can't compare to their 70's material such as "Rock Bottom", "Shoot Shoot", "Too Hot To Handle" or "Lights Out". It's fair to compare it to 1997's reunion album "Walk On Water" which says alot about this latest release. Michael Schenker is still perhaps one of the most underrated guitarists as he shines on songs such as "Perfect View" (a gutsy rocker with a nice hook to it), "Fighting Man" (another hard hitting rocker), "Deadman Walking" (another rocker with a catchy hook) and "Quicksilver Rider" (excellent guitar driven track). There's a great, almost ZZ Top sounding cut, in "Someone's Gonna Have To Pay" with Schenker sounding like Billy Gibbons. And the first song "Outlaw Man" is excellent and utilizes slide guitar throughout the track. The other songs are excellent too, especially "Serenity" which is a nice downtempo rock song with excellent guitar and vocals. Phil Mogg as usual handles the vocal duties and does so with energy and enthusiasm. Pete Way's bass pounds with perfection and compliments Aynsley Dunbar's drumming in each and every song. If you enjoyed "Walk On Water" then you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended!
Sharks is a good album and any UFO fan would be pleased with more than a few songs here. Certainly not as good as Walk on Water, but definitely better than Covenant. It's tempting to point out what's wrong with the album (no Ron Nevison polish; lack of Obsession-memorable Schenker solos; a few songs that seem just a bit unfinished), the good easily outweighs the negative. Serenity and Crossing Over have the old UFO magic and hint that the old guys might even have another album or two left in them.

Freshman Kelly Ryals (Gainesville, Fla.), meanwhile, continues to have a solid rookie campaign and paces the squad with 51 digs while ranking second in kills with 46 and third in blocks with nine.
The Seminoles, meanwhile rattled off seven-consecutive wins to open the season, but picked up their first loss Saturday night when they fell to Ball State 3-1. FSU averages 16.5 kills a game and a .277 attack percentage.
After the showdown with Florida State, the Dolphins return to action Friday, Sept. 15 when they travel to Rhode Island to participate in the Brown University Tournament. JU takes on Princeton and La Salle on Friday before battling St. Peter's and host Brown on Saturday.

CATEGORIES Documentary, Sundance, DIY/Filmmaking, Cinematical Indie, Movies, Sundance Film Festival, CinematicalWant to take part in a film directed by Oscar-winner Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland) and produced by Ridley Scott? Just make sure you document what you and/or others are doing on July 24, 2010, something that especially represents life in your area on that day in this year. Also, apparently you should show what you fear, what you love and what's in your pockets. Then upload the footage to YouTube (details are here). If it is deemed worthy and fits the project's rules (you must be at least 13; you must live in any but the six usually prohibited nations; you must follow YouTube's usual guidelines), Macdonald may select it to be included in the user-generated documentary Life in a Day, which will simultaneously premiere at Sundance and on YouTube in January.
One important thing, though: if you do want to contribute don't do so just to be a part of a "historic cinematic experiment." While this is being sold as "the first user-generated feature-length documentary shot in one day," that title has already been achieved by at least one film, Jeff Deutchman's 11/4/08, which compiles footage shot by filmmakers from around the world on that titular day in which Barack Obama was elected President of the United States. I'm not sure why Scott and Macdonald selected 7/24/10 as their special day, but it certainly won't be as significant. Sure, it will be a time capsule, though so many other films are as well. I also don't imagine it will be a continuing interactive collaboration like Deutchman's project is.
Ironically, the next screening of 11/4/08 is in Indianapolis on ... yep, July 24th. Wouldn't it be great if someone, maybe even Deutchman, documented the event and submitted it? Meanwhile, I do encourage anyone else to be a part of this. Life in a Day may not be the first film of its kind -- or even the second, since there's also Frank Kelly's 140, as Movieline points out -- but it could still be excellent. Macdonald is a terrific documentary filmmaker and I trust his eye for what should end up in the film. However, I do wonder -- as I had with Deutchman's film before -- how they'll know for sure each uploaded bit of footage was indeed shot on the strict date.
Check out the videos below of Macdonald and Scott talking about the project:

Half Japanese is an art punk band formed by brothers Jad and David Fair around 1975, sometime after the family's relocation to Uniontown, Maryland. Their original instrumentation included a small drum set, which they took turns playing; vocals; and an out-of-tune, distorted guitar. Both Fair brothers sang, although over time Jad moved into the frontman role.
Band history[edit]
Jad is well known for playing an untuned electric guitar. After 30 years, he still does not play in any traditional manner; in the documentary Half Japanese: The Band That Would Be King he states that "the only chord I know is the one that connects the guitar to the amp."
Their lyrics often deal with monsters and the supernatural (especially as influenced by "creature feature" and scifi movies), in addition to more conventional themes, such as young love. They have stated that all their songs are either "love songs or monster songs."
The band released their first single Calling All Girls [Note, not the Queen album] in August 1977, followed by a triple album 1/2 Gentlemen/Not Beasts that gave them a near-instant cult status. It is possible they were the first band to begin with a triple album.
The band played and recorded as a duo until the early 1980s when they began incorporating additional members into the group: Mark Jickling (guitar and vocals) and brothers Ricky and John Dreyfuss (drums and saxophone). Since that time, dozens of musicians have come and gone under the Half Japanese banner, including Howard Wuelfing, Don Fleming, Jay Spiegel that are both from the band Velvet Monkeys, Shockabilly bass player and Shimmy Disc impresario Mark Kramer and many, many others. Jad is the only member who has been with Half Japanese from the beginning. David Fair eventually left the band in the early 1980s to focus on his family. He has continued to make guest appearances with the band from time to time.
The next line-up of Half Japanese came together in the late 1980s, proving to be a long-lasting and stable unit recording several albums and touring frequently throughout the U.S., Europe and Japan. This incarnation featured guitarist/multi-instrumentalist John Sluggett (also a longtime member of Moe Tucker's band), multi-instrumentalist Jason Willett, and drummer Gilles Reider. Since then, the group has worked with Moe Tucker from The Velvet Underground, who produced and performed on Fire In the Sky (1992) as well as The Band That Would Be King, Fred Frith, and John Zorn, among others.
Fans and supporters of Half Japanese include Penn Jillette, who helped the band release some of their albums on his label, 50 Skidillion Watts, and Kurt Cobain, who had them open some dates of Nirvana's 1993 In Utero tour. Cobain was wearing a Half Japanese t-shirt when he died.[1]
The band's history and influence are chronicled in the 1993 documentary Half Japanese: The Band That Would Be King by Jeff Feuerzeig. The band was chosen by Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival that he curated in March 2012 in Minehead.[2]
The album Hot from 1995 is one of their noisiest grunge albums with heavily distorted vocals and guitars. In 1997 the band released Heaven Sent. The title track, over sixty minutes long, was a live recording for a radio broadcast on Radio 5 VPRO's De Avonden.
In 2011 the band toured through Europe in the formation Jad Fair, Sluggett, Willett & Reider. Once a year David Fair is in charge of the ShakeMore music festival in Westminster Maryland. Each year the start up formation with the Fair brothers, the Dreyfuss brothers, John Moremen and Mark Jickling perform at ShakeMore. Early drummer Rick Dreyfuss died on March 14, 2013, and was replaced by Skizz Cyzyk and Chris "Batworth" Ciattei from the band, Go Pills.
In October 2013 longtime band members, John Sluggett, Gilles Rieder, Mick Hobbs, Jason Willett, and Jad Fair will be touring with Neutral Milk Hotel, and in November will record a new Half Japanese album.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Ś A slip of the tongue gave away Atlanta coach Mike SmithÆs focus.
Smith was just starting his review Monday of the FalconsÆ 30-28 win over the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC divisional playoffs when it became clear his thoughts were on this weekÆs NFC championship game against the San Francisco 49ers.
ōWe knew the San Francisco Forty ... excuse me, the Seattle Seahawks, were a very good football team and they showed a lot of resiliency,ö Smith said before smiling after catching his verbal miscue.
ōWe were very fortunate to make the plays there at the end of the game and get the win,ö he said.
The win over Seattle Sunday was the first for Smith and quarterback Matt Ryan in four postseason games with Atlanta. There was much talk after the game that the long-awaited first playoff win was the most important for the Falcons and would allow Ryan and other players to relax.
Smith shot down both theories.
ōI donÆt think weÆll be able to play looser,ö Smith said. ōI think weÆve got to get back into our preparation mode. I know many people have talked about the outcome and what does it mean to the Atlanta Falcons. It means we have an opportunity to play again and in the playoffs you want to keep playing. I think our guys understand the challenge this week is going to be big.ö
The Falcons are the top seed in the NFC playoffs for the second time in three seasons. Atlanta lost at home to Green Bay as the top seed following the 2010 regular season and then lost in the first round at the New York Giants last year.
Ryan and the Falcons built leads of 20-0 and 27-7 against Seattle before falling behind 28-27 with 31 seconds remaining. Then Ryan completed passes to Harry Douglas, for 22 yards, and Tony Gonzalez, for 19 yards, to set up Matt BryantÆs go-ahead 49-yard field goal with 13 seconds remaining.
Smith said it was a ōfunö win for the team and the city of Atlanta, but he said it didnÆt mean the Falcons have realized their goals.
ōOur goals and our expectations are a lot higher than just winning one playoff game,ö he said.
The Falcons will be home again for SundayÆs NFC championship game as they look to advance to the Super Bowl for the second time in franchise history. The 1998 season ended with a Super Bowl loss to the Denver Broncos.
Ryan and some of his teammates acknowledged they are glad there will be no more questions about not winning a postseason game.
ōBut at the same time, our goal is not to win one playoff game,ö Ryan said. ōOur goal isnÆt to stop answering that question.
ōOur goals are still in front of us. We still have two more games to go. ThatÆs the mind-set I have. ThatÆs the mind-set this team has.ö
Asked if the monkey is off the teamÆs back, linebacker Sean Weatherspoon said ōmaybe a little bitö before also saying the team had bigger goals.
ōThe outsiders said we canÆt win in the playoffs, now they have to come up with other things to say,ö Weatherspoon said. ōOur goal is to get the next win and then the next one after that.ö
Smith said he didnÆt sleep well Sunday night, but not because of a big celebration.
ōNo, not celebrating,ö he said. ōFor everybody involved, that was a fun football game and itÆs hard to unwind from fun football games. I think for everybody at least here in Atlanta it certainly was. Then I got going this morning on San Francisco.ö
There may be little sleep for SmithÆs defensive coaches this week as the Falcons prepare a plan to contain 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Kaepernick passed for 263 yards and rushed for 181 yards Ś a playoff record for a quarterback Ś in San FranciscoÆs 45-31 win over Green Bay on Saturday.
The Falcons couldnÆt stop Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, who had seven carries for 60 yards and a touchdown while passing for 385 yards and two touchdowns.
Smith said the 6-foot-5 Kaepernick is ōprobably between Russellö and Carolina quarterback Cam Newton, who also had success against the Falcons this season.
Newton ran for 116 yards, including a 72-yard touchdown run, while passing for 287 yards and two touchdowns in the PanthersÆ 30-20 home win over the Falcons on Dec. 9. Newton ran for 87 yards with a touchdown and passed for 215 yards with two touchdowns in the FalconsÆ 30-28 win over Carolina on Sept. 30.
Wilson had only 26 yards rushing in the first half as the Seahawks were held scoreless. The rookie quarterback gained momentum after Falcons defensive end John Abraham aggravated his left ankle injury midway through the second quarter. Abraham did not play in the second half.
Smith said he expects Abraham to be back in practice ōbefore the end of the week.ö
