2.17/5 rDev -28.6%
A - Copper color, no head to speak of.
S - Ugg. Vanilla, hazelnuts, maple. No malt, no hops.
T - Double ugg. Tastes like cream soda. Vanilla, maple, hazelnuts.
M - A tad thin, but the carbonation is good.
D - I applaud the effort, but I can't stand this. I can see where some people would love it, and if it gets more people to try craft beer, then I'm behind it in theory. But I can't drink it.

My wife bought this for me today while shopping at Wegmans...man I love my wife.Poured into a standard pint glass a slight hazed bronze color with a tight formed 1/2 finger white head that actually held some decent retention,faint toasted malt aromas a touch of brown sugar-like sweetness as well as a touch of clove.Much better than I thought it would be flavor wise its a bit toasty with some residual caramel sweetness that vanilla that everyone talks about to me is faint it seems a little spiced but not overly so it has a spicy finish but not overdone.Anew recipe for 2007?Iam not flabbergasted by it by any means but you know its not horrible I wouldnt be ashamed to serve this to by beer-liking friends....really Iam serious.

It looks like clear mahogany, and there is some head to top this one off. I believe this is my first dubbel review, so I don't really know if it's expected or not, but I nod approvingly at the lacing left as I swirl this one around.
Nothing much in the nose. I smell the dark Belgian sugar, but it hardly inspires an "ah." Other than that, it's water.
I taste what I now acknowledge is an abbey ale. Not a tremendous proponent, this one tastes on average with others I've had. It's pleasantly sweet, with a bit of twang from the Belgian sugar. It provides a subtle tartness that's far more apparent in real Belgian Belgians. While trying to maintain some objectivity, it's what I'd expect from an Coors Abbey Ale.
The tart, twangy, dark-sweet mouthfeel is actually a good one, particularly within such a watery-light medium. Again, aligned with expectations from a macrobrewery, the carbonation is more than ample. The feel of Full Moon is its superior attribute.
It's a blah beer overall, and I'd imagine most dubbels dwarf this selection. Though not horrible and a seemingly true representative of the style, it ain't to be sought after.

2.73/5 rDev -10.2%
Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. There is a best before date on the bottle.
Appearance: It has a creamy tan head which quickly faded down to a small ring of slick lacing that hangs on till the last sip. The body has a slightly hazy appearance with a dark amber color.
Smell: The aroma is rather light and simple. Only a light hint of sweet malt with maybe a touch of caramel is detected in the nose.
Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor is ok but very simple for the style. It has a dark sweetness with notes of caramel candy, brown sugar and some very, very light spice like cinnamon. There were no noticeable hops at all and it finished sweet but watery. The overall texture was light for the style and thinner in the finish with a medium body and light carbonation.
Notes: This was a very simple example of a Belgian Dubbel.

12 oz brown bottle with a freshness date printed on the bottle. "An ale brewed with natural flavor & caramel color" on the label.
A- Foamy with a good retention, crystal clear tawny hue.
S- Light vanilla extract in the aroma with a faint toasted malt, sweet smelling.
T&M- Lighter body than expected with a flash of crispness and then right to a slick mouth feel. Odd vanilla flavor mixes with a muted malt flavor, minimal hops with a slight warmth from the clean alcohol. Finishes dry with very little after taste ... the vanilla is a distant memory until the next sip.
D- There is something just not totally right with this beer. Lack of body and odd vanilla flavors just at me first. Lack of real malt density & flavor does this one is when it comes down to it. Take this one back to the chalk board ...

3.73/5 rDev +22.7%
12 ounce bottle, label calls this a "single-style abbey ale", looks like a dubbel, drinks like dubbel "lite"
Pours clear glowing dark reddish amber, moderate retention on the light tan head, that goes to a nice looking film, collar and moderate bits of lace.
Toffee, maple and light nuts in the nose.
Super easy drinking Belgian style offering, more toffee, some caramel, light nutmeg. Pleasant enough, but fizzles out in the finish and perhaps a bit on the watery side.
Belgian with training wheels and less complexity then us geeks would like. Good beer to entice some newbees or as a winter, lighter sessioner. Also would/will work in a marinade or holiday dish.

I was somewhat confused about a seasonal beer from Blue Moon. Is it a wheat beer, is it a Winter Ale, is it worth trying? It turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Not much of an aroma to it, but the Caramel kicks in on the first taste. Not in the same league as Sam Adams or Harpoon, but definitely worth a taste.

3.45/5 rDev +13.5%
Appearance: 1/2 inch head, brownish-red in color, clear, moderate carbonation
Smell: bread, toffee, and holiday spices
Taste: bread, toffee, and holiday spices--there is some dark fruit and caramel as the beer warms
Mouthfeel: sweet with slight bitterness, high carbonation, light bodied
Overall: There are way better dubbels out there no doubt. That said, this is not a bad beer and would make an excellent introduction to craft beer..It may be the best of the seasonal moon beers I have had. If I was looking for a cheap dubbel that I could have several of during a game, I would pick this up.

2.9/5 rDev -4.6%
Medium amount of off white head, caramel brown in color, maybe a little darker, but can see through it
Aroma is relatively faint, sugar and caramel mostly
The taste, like the aroma, is a little weak, but not bad. Tastes like it smells, with a hint of spice.
Mouthfeel is average, a little watery but I guess that's expected with coors.
I could definitely have a few of these but for the price its nothing special. Might get it again, but not in the near future.

The beer pours a dark brown color with an off-white head. The aroma is full of a lot of cocoa and toffee notes and actually smells a lot better than I expected it to. The flavor is similar to the aroma. I get a lot of lightly roasted malts, as well as some toffee, caramel, cream and grass notes. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Opened cold 12oz bottle, poured into snifter. Nice white head of 1" to 1.5" that dissipates rather promptly. Brew is clear, dark reddish-brown.
Smell is not pleasant. Somewhat metallic and hints of malts. Taste also follows through with the metallic, definitely bitter on the palate. Not a smooth drink.
I tried to let it warm up to see if the taste/flavors extracted better, but it never happened.
I was really expecting more from this beer...

Hello guys, I hope that you can help me. TToday I bought a Nokia 710 and I fell in love with Lumia phone, in fact I got the option to change it to a Samsung Galaxy S2 (which I had), but I'll take the Lumia.
What worries me is that the speaker volume is extremely low, to the point that comparing with my old iPhone 4s in 1/5 of the power it sounds louder than the Nokia, at the level that I don't think that I will awake tomorrow with the alarm of how low it sounds.
I don't know if it's defective (to go and change it) or that's the way the phone is, because I've been searching for hours for options or updates and nothing happens ...
Regards and thanks for your help

To this end he founded the Oslo Sinfonietta in 1986 to promote the performance and understanding of new music. He studied at the Norwegian Conservatory of Music, London's Royal College of Music and IRCAM in Paris, with whom he has a continuing collaboration. Characteristic of his redefined modernism are highly organised structures and the use of computer technology.

Featured Faculty Profile
Astrit Mehmeti
Senior Professor - DeVry University Chicago
Teaching Field: Electronics & Computer Technology (ECT)
"DeVry is unique in its teaching methodologies because it gives its students the crucial hands-on learning experience that they deserve in order to survive and progress in today's professional workplace. DeVry University is by far further ahead of other schools in terms of faculty, curriculum delivery and graduate employment assistance."
Where I come from
I came to this country in 1972 from the former Yugoslavia with a suitcase of old clothes and no money in my pocket. I feel very lucky. Before DeVry University, I had a successful run with "corporate America" for 17 years as a renowned IT Manager and programmer for a national corporation headquartered in the downtown Chicago area.
DeVry University gave me a chance to satisfy my first love, teaching. Even as a kid, I imagined standing up in front of a class and sharing my knowledge, as my father did. He was an elementary school teacher - my teacher once. He was my idol. I remember looking into his eyes as he would lecture to his students, and I could see compassion and his love for teaching radiate from him. He was the type of person who simply loved to reach out and help people; more specifically, to share his wealth of knowledge in the classroom to help shape his students and prepare them for the long and sometimes difficult journeys they would encounter in life. Seeing that "one man can make a difference" helped to shape me into the man and educator I have become.
The rewards of teaching
Teaching does not pay as well as my former corporate job. Our reward is later and spiritual. My father helped and sponsored many people in our community, and they looked up to him. I think of him now when I meet former students out in the world, as professionals and in chance encounters. Recently I ran into a former student in City Hall. He said, "You don't have to wait in line, Professor. That's the least I can do for you." Also, my kids were students in some of my classes. I was very proud to be their teacher, but I expect it was hard for them.
IT professional
I have been teaching at DeVry University for approximately 20 years. I teach on a full-time basis, and remain extremely active in the IT profession: as a member of IT and professional societies and organizations, as the author of articles in the field, and as a participant, presenter and collaborator in IT conferences and seminars nationwide and even abroad.
I am actively involved in promoting, collaborating and teaching abroad in universities that are currently attaining a strong foothold on the IT industry and are gaining popularity within their society. DeVry University paid for me to get my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the Polytechnic Institute of Tirana in Albania, which deepened my perspective on the immigrant experience.
Bridging two worlds
I consistently strive to adapt new methodologies and teachings from corporate America and in turn, pass that knowledge and information on to each and every student. That keeps them abreast of new topics and gives them a grasp of what's truly occurring out there in the "real world." Because of this, they learn to appreciate and relate what they learn in the classroom with what's out there in their field.
Through collaboration with professionals and organizations outside of the campus, I strive to effectively match up my Senior Project students with industry-leading organizations that provide key, hands-on, real-world experience to the students. This helps to not only give them that corporate America expertise, but also helps to shape them into the industry professionals they are looking to become.
What sets DeVry University students apart
I have been fortunate to teach both undergraduate and graduate students at DeVry University and Keller Graduate School of Management. DeVry University students are successful because they bring a "middle-class, working-class" attitude to the classroom. They bring the necessary attributes such as positive attitude, excellent interpersonal and communications skills. In addition, they are not afraid of hard work, struggle and sacrifice. This sets them apart from other university students because they know that they are completely responsible for their ultimate success or failure.
A bond of trust, concern and attention
The ideal teaching/learning environment is one in which the professor and students share mutual goals and responsibilities for the education process. Both parties have to put out 110% effort. My teaching style is one where the students know that I genuinely care for them and their ability to support their families. I develop a bond of trust, concern and attention that they will experience no where else. I extensively interact with students outside of my classroom via office hours, email and college chat rooms. In addition, I enjoy working with them on senior projects, academic competitions, and at on-site companies for special school projects.
Why DeVry?
DeVry University is unique in its teaching methodologies because it gives its students the crucial hands-on learning experience that they deserve in order to survive and progress in today's professional workplace. DeVry University is by far further ahead of other schools in terms of faculty, curriculum delivery and graduate employment assistance.
DeVry University is truly an educational leader that focuses its resources on empowering its faculty, staff and administration to do what they do best: teach, mentor and guide the students on their path to success. The numbers speak for themselves. More than 90% of DeVry University graduates who actively pursue employment hold positions in their chosen field within 6 months of graduation. This means students earn more than a degree at DeVry University. They'll get career education that leads them straight into the professional world.
Can other universities make such a bold statement and have the numbers and proof to back it up?

Wheelchair Shuttle Buses
On this page: Starcraft Bus
The terms "bus", "mini-bus" and "cutaway bus" are often used to refer to an incredible category of vehicles. Buses are van chassis that have been equipped with a body that is specially built for the purpose of providing wheelchair accessible transportation services. The special vehicle body enables the wheelchair bus to truly maximize features that are needed for such purposes as, headroom, aisle and over-all width, seat and wheelchair position spacing.
Additional features such as; power operated doors, special passenger entries, luggage racks and more are also available.
Wheelchair buses allow organizations to transport more people with greater comfort than would be possible in a standard van. Many organizations are upgrading to buses for the disabled as they see their needs grow/change. Often, organizations will have a mix of wheelchair vans and wheelchair shuttle buses to handle the range of transportation services they provide.
The majority of these wheelchair lift-equipped vehicles are Ford shuttle buses. Ford wisely targeted the medium-duty shuttle bus market with the E350 and E450 Cutaway Chassis. With a wide range of wheelbase-lengths and three engines to choose from, Ford Shuttle buses allow bus builders to satisfy many niche markets.
The smaller Ford E350 can handle small-to medium buses that might be a 10 passenger van replacement up to 15 passenger configurations. The Ford E-450 is designed to handle larger requirements such as the popular "12 and 2"–twelve seats with two wheelchair positions and can be used for Ford shuttle buses that carry up to 25 passengers.
Your chassis decision for your Ford shuttle bus will be primarily driven by the payload requirement for your application. The combined weight of the bus body, seats, floor, wheelchair lift and number of passengers must all be calculated in order to choose the right model.
In recent years, Chevrolet has come out with a wheelchair shuttle bus chassis that is very competitive in size, features and performance with the Ford shuttle bus. As more companies gain experience with the Chevrolet shuttle bus chassis, we expect that it will be a viable competitor to Ford.
Buses can be equipped with commercial wheelchair lifts and stations or sold just as shuttles without wheelchair accessibility provided. Also, many seating configurations can eliminate the need for staff members to have commercial drivers licenses.
Additional options such as striping packages, custom graphic wraps and paint combinations can be used to advertise an organization when it is on the road.
Each of our wheelchair buses are ADA compliant and meet their standard requirements for safety.
Starcraft Buses
Since 1903, Starcraft has stood for quality, innovation and value in the industry segments that they supply. Over the years, Starcraft has manufactured farm equipment, boats, recreational vehicles, van conversions, and, beginning in 1997, products for the transportation industry. Starcraft shuttle buses are used by transit agencies, retirement communities, short term parking companies, hotels, resorts, limousine services, nursing homes and more. Starcraft has 350,000 square foot manufacturing plant located on 80 acres in Goshen, Indiana.
Among the more popular vehicle models available from Starcraft are the Starquest, Starlite and All-Star.
The Starquest is an attractive, low-profile wheelchair bus that is perfect for churches, senior centers, resorts, hotels and parking shuttles. It is available with all-passenger seating, a rear luggage area and wheel chair stations.
The Starquest offers the security of a welded steel cage construction, easy maneuverability, terrific looks, and a host of interior options and floorplans; all in an easy to drive, highly maneuverable vehicle. Non-CDL versions are also available.
Starcraft Starlite wheelchair buses boast a narrow, nimble profile making it much easier to drive, maneuver and park than some of it's larger counterparts. The Starlite features an exclusive "flat wall" design, which allows for extra shoulder room for passengers. A low step height makes for easy entry/exit.
The Starlite offers exceptional quality and value for an affordable price and allows for different floorplan, as well as wheelchair and luggage options.
When the reputation of your business and the safety of your customers are in your hands, that is the time when quality and integrity matter the most. With its steel skeleton cage and rock-solid construction, the Starcraft Bus All-Star wheelchair shuttle bus model delivers on the Starcraft promise of quality, durability and safety. The exclusive flat-wall design maximizes interior width, for the roomiest shoulder space and widest aisles in their class.
A variety of floor plans, wheelchair accommodations and cargo options means the Allstar Series can be the foundation of your mid-size bus fleet. Don't gamble with your reputation, your business or the safety of your customers. Build your success with the Allstar Team from Starcraft!
XLT Series
The XLT series of medium-size wheelchair buses offers an affordable, attractive and rugged transition between smaller cutaway chassis buses and expensive tour coaches. Designed for higher passenger counts, luggage loads and duty cycles, the XLT is the perfect solution for tour operators, senior centers, government agencies and anyone needing to bridge the gap between lighter duty buses and large transit coaches.
The XLT is available on either a General Motors C5500 or International 3200 series medium duty chassis with diesel power and rugged transmissions for increased reliability and uptime.
Mounted to the rugged truck chassis is a fully jig welded steel cage structure encompassing all roof, floor, sidewall and rear wall frame members for a long lasting, secure body structure. Add to that insulation, beautiful interiors, combination aluminum/fiberglass exteriors, including one piece seamless roofs and the result is a product ready to hit the street and stay there.

How to get today's date when it is not the server date?
My site sits on a server in the US but the members are mainly from New Zealand. There is a 16 hour time difference.
I am playing with a "Members Online Today" script.
I can get the members online today but it relates to the server time, so at 4pm our New Zealand time there is suddenly 0 members online today as it resets itself when the server clocks over past midnight.
One column in the table is called user_lastvisit - it is an int(10) - it stores the date and time as a timestamp
This is the code that I have at the mo
PHP Code:
WHERE user_lastvisit > UNIX_TIMESTAMP(CURDATE())
Any ideas or suggestions would be great or even not using UNIX_TIMESTAMP(CURDATE() and something completely different. I have just released I also need to allow for daylight saving ....
Thank you for your time

Yeah I was out there today, looks like a good spot, I dont supose anyone knows anything about track building?
It's been mentioned before, but I reckon Mt Steele: http://maps.google.com.au/maps/ms?msid=212234598532018412069.000451...
is a good location. It's only a small hill, and would probably be good for just a few medium speed hairpins, but it's a central location, it has a history of being used for sport (grass skiing and grass boarding), and it hasn't been used for anything much in the last 15 years.
It could be a good place to start to establish the concept. And I'm sure if it was built it would be busy and successful.
Having our own dedicated park, is a big steep in the development of our sport. I think we need some location options first. If we know what we want we can aproach real estate agents to see if they have or know of anything suitable Also if we can get some respectable members of society aka not students, we can aproach councils with these ideas, See if they know of locations or are keen to help at all, I dont really know anything about how it all works over here, If I wanted to meet with the council back home I could just ring up the office and ask. Righ now we need people to help with direction, Im way out of my depth here. I just want to see it happen.
Nice work Jonny. I've just come back from a few days in Byron - the whole frickin town is skating - from Penny's to Longboards - I was amazed. Go check out Manly where I live, and again - the age is from 2 to 52 everyone is pushing around.
My point is - we are at a boom time in skating - both from a participation and profile angle.
This also means there is an older demographic that if you can reach can make these sort of infrastructure projects happen. We just need to get a few people behind the push ...so to speak.
Anyway thats my 2 cents worth for now - I'll watch this group and participate however I can. One way to get some attention would be an an outlaw down Oxford from Taylor Square to the Opera House - on a saturday lunchtime - nude. Just sayin...
I think the first step is finding the spot you want!! one with a hill, and good run off, some flat land, just to keep the place safe for all levels of boarding, This narrows down our possibilities to only a few... From their I suggest we research about the council policy for land ownership, what can be built, etc. This ensures we keep everything within the zoning rules...
Next is to develop the message, we want to strengthen the claim that longboarding, skating, etc. is truly an alternative means transport, rather than simply a phase/toy thing... I believe councils develop parks, pathways and cycleways for runners and cyclists because they think that these are more serious and less seasonal modes of recreation and transport. Thus if create a message that places skaters under a similar light to cyclists, we would have headway in pushing for a park!
Paying for it isnt as hard as you would think you just need to raise some cash, get some sponsorship from longboarding companies and if you can, convince the council to chip some in too, its how they get skate parks built. The actual land size doesn't need to be that big, Pumpy is only 800m long and its nearly a perfect example of ideal situation.
Convincing the Council isn't all about numbers its all aobut voice, Were lucky as a community to have a hugely diverse group. Ive skated with people from age 13 to 50. So lets use that were not just kids on skateboards. We can have the power if we want it. We are a big enough community and we are competitive on the world stage in a new a rapidly growing sport. All were asking the council for is a park for our sport. I appreciate the thought man and the reality check I just think its possible.
This is going to be one hell of a task, but it's far from impossible.
I don't know where exactly to begin but some location parameters would be good to start with.
Location? What do we need and where can we find it?
There were some good ideas in the thread about this, so roughly we need cheap land with an existing road of some sort. We can always re seal it. Ideally we would design from scratch but that is an expensive option.

Le Monde, The Times, and Harry PotterBooks
Earlier this month we told you about reaction to an article that appeared in the French periodical Le Monde, where a scholar called the Harry Potter books... a capitalist universe", stuffed with "neo-liberal stereotypes" which caricature approvingly the "excesses of the Anglo-Saxon social model". The New York Times( registration required,but free) has now translated that original piece from Le Monde. In response to all of this, The Times of London has published an op-ed piece about the scholar's debate over the Harry Potter novels.
It is a measure of Rowlings unprecedented success that Harry Potter has become so deeply embedded in the culture that adults feel obliged to find more in the books than meets the eye. When scholars, linguists, analysts, anti-racists, Jungians, Freudians, Jungian-Freudians, sociologists, lawyers, philosophers, psychologists and literary critics start clustering around a childs book, it is time to stop reading between the lines.
Much of the scholarship surrounding Harry Potter is unintentionally hilarious, virtually incomprehensible, and perfectly pointless. Yet, the phenomenon is fascinating for the way it exposes our preoccupations: adults have projected their own concerns on to these books, and the results say far more about us than about Harry Potter.

GROVELAND, Ill -- As the rain continues to soak Central Illinois, organizers for festivals this weekend continue to soak up the losses.
Groveland is putting on it's first ever Pioneer Days Festival this Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Organizers said despite all their hard work and planning, the event has mostly been a flop thanks to mother nature. They have moved a few things into the township building and had to delay some events that were scheduled for Friday evening.
Still, all the rain could add up to a loss in profit for all parties involved.
Pioneer Days Chairman Les Knollenberg said, "All the revenue is going for charity. We're going to the Groveland food bank, and it's going to the Barb Hart Scholarship fund here at the Township and to the church that's next door here. So, it's not going to be good for us but we shouldn't lose any money and that's the most important thing that we don't lose money.
Darlene Lawrence was one of only two vendors at the grounds Friday afternoon. She said, "We're kind of die-hards when it comes to staying set up and hopefully somebody will come and want to buy things and enjoy the carnival and everything else."
Organizers and vendors remain very optimistic for good weather and a good turn out Saturday.

Enjoyed during the first "Meet the Brewers Night" held at the Iron Hill Lancaster location on 7/25/08. A Belgian style Tripel that was aged in Kentucky Bourbon barrels for a few months, this was offered exclusively to Mug Club members during the event. Served in a oversized ceramic Mug Club Member mug.
Pours a slightly hazy pale gold with a good finger of creamy cotton ball colored white head. The retention is very good, with a solid thin layer of retention sticking around for a good bit that leaves a very nice looking latticework of lace down the sides of the mug. The aroma is whooowheee! Huge notes of Bourbon in the nose that absolutely dominate the aroma. I've got to dig deep but I eventually find some sense of the Tripel in there, with an underpinning of yeasty malt sweetness and a touch of sour apple fruit tones.
The taste mixes things up and throws the Tripel at you first, with yeasty notes and candied sugars being well balanced by a big tang of fruit character (with mostly sour apple being the dominant culprit). I was also pleased to sense a bit of spice, floral hoppiness and a bloom of bready, yeasty notes coming out in the backend of the Tripel portion as it warmed. Of course, all of that has to give way to that Bourbon aging character, that makes itself known in the backend, finishing things with a sweet and extremely dry feel on the palette that left me begging for a glass of water. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with an lively effervescent and poppy carbonation and an overall feel of lingering dryness. For the most part, I felt the alcohol was fairly well hidden with any kind of heat sensations coming straight from the Bourbon character.
This was quite the unique and complex brew for head brewer Paul Rutherford to pull out for his local Muggers and I for one was very pleased with it. I thought that both the Tripel and Boubon characteristics were well represented and flowed well with each other. Beyond the assertive Bourbon notes, I thought that this hid it's alcohol fairly well but at least for me, one mug was more than enough. Good stuff and I hope to see another batch of this sometime in the future.

Served on tap at the Lancaster brewpub.
A: The ale is the hazy golden-straw color of a tripel, darkened up a tad but the barrel aging. Little head to speak off.
S: The nose is raw bourbon, a first-use (post bourbon, of course) barrel. Nothing tripel-wise comes through.
T: Intensely sweet, the bourbon has become the ale. Vanilla and booze dominate, rarely allowing the tripel's spice profile to emerge. Another overdone bourbon beer (see the bourbon braveheart).
M: Sweet and boozy, this beer could pass for a shot of wild turkey nine times out of ten. If bourbon isn't your thing, stay clear.
D: It's not, unfortunately. Too sweet, like a shot was added to my pint.

Appears a hazy, light gold with a small white cap that quickly fades into a mild cap. Scattered streaks of lacing is left around the glass.
Smell is of bourbon soaked oak, sandalwood, black pepper, grains of paradise, nectarine, and apricot.
Taste is of the same aromas with more vanilla sweet stonefruit coming through along with spicy sandalwood. The oaky tannins seem to cling a bit to the strong sweetness that remind me of poached pear, and vanilla beans.
Mouthfeel is full bodied, spritzy, spicy, oaky, chewy, with plenty of oaky vanillins running along the palate with moderate carbonation. A light booziness sets in and the beautiful bourbon becomes more evident. This is really addictive but it will sneak up on you...like a panther in the night. Watch out!

Transcribed from undated notes.
This arrived with a finger's worth of foamy, bone-white head with low retention. Color was a cloudy honey-yellow. Nose was filled with bourbon underlain by a tropical fruitiness. Mouthfeel was medium with a solid Belgian-yeast fruitiness on the tongue, banana and tangerine, especially. Finish had a slight alcohol burn accompanied by bourbon and banana flavors. It was interesting, but not compelling.

A: Light honey body with a thinnish white head.
S: Lots of bourbon with a slight undercurrent of typical tripel aromas, slightly fruity and citric, peppery, with a touch of oak.
T: Sharp bourbon, oaked vanilla. When this beer wamrs up the alcohol flavor recedes slightly revealing a better interplay of bourbon with the base tripel.
M: Medium bodied, crisp, with a touch of alcohol.
D: Better as it moved away from the pour temperature. But, damn, the bourbon is prevalent. Just a bit overpowering.

I had this on tap served in a tulip, Wilmington,De location. It pours a deep copper, small white head, light lacing. The aroma is heavy on bourbon, some sweetness. The beer is very complex, heavy on bourbon and vanilla, finsihes with a pleasant bourbon kick. The beer is full bodied, thick, resinous mouth feel, alcohol provides a pleasant burn. A great BA tripel, some of the qualities of a tripel are lost, but the complexity of the beer more than makes up for it.

I was able to enjoy this on tap Saturday, July 26th. It wasn't 'officially' available, but after asking a few dozen questions about it, a glass finally came my way. It was described to me as a "vanilla bean bourbon barrel Tripel."
I am assuming it was the same brew as reviewed previously. The version I had was very distinctly flavored by the vanilla beans that were placed in the bourbon barrel.
It pours a crystal clear copper with brownish hues, a very full (surprising for the abv) bleached bone white head took its time to disappear. I was surprised by the amount of lacing, considering this is a 10% Tripel. Carbonation bubbles continue strong throughout the entire glass, never allowing the brew to become flat or lose the thin halo of lace the adorns the top.
The aroma at first is 50/50 vanilla and bourbon. Period. The alcohol does mellow as it warms, but at first I almost expected to see vapors. The vanilla maintains its presence in the nose throughout. However, as time goes on, the characteristics of the Tripel slowly emerge, with the emerging spices adding to the continuing complexity of this brew.
The taste is even more complex than the nose. There is just so much going on . . . the base is a very solid Tripel, with enough complexities of its own. On top of that are the vanilla beans. Underlying all of this is the bourbon barrel flavoring, which is a subtle soother in some sips, dominator in other sips. As the beer warms, the changes are quite noticeable. This brew deserves some serious contemplation, my exact words to the bartender were "wow, that's quite a journey."
It is quite drinkable for sure, but considering the ABV and the whirlwind of flavors, this was a one-and-done brew for me. I tried my hardest to make it back the following day to spend some more time getting to know this extrmemely rare one-off, brewed in my own hometown, but unfortunately it did not happen. I am left with only my memories and tasting notes . . .

a: This was a slightly hazy golden yellow. It was served to me with a little white froth around the edge of the glass.
s: Surprisingly mild but enticing. Sweet candied sugar, vanilla, and a little bourbon were all present. The sweetness of the tripel and the bourbon reminded me a little of brandy at times.
t: Tripel flavors of candied suagr with a little banana balanced out by bourbon, fairly strong vanilla, and some faint oakiness.
m: Gentle, lush carbonation and an average body.
d: I'm glad I had the chance to try this one, but it isn't my favorite from my local Iron Hill.

On tap at the brewery.
A: Poured a nice cloudy golden color with a finger of head. Really nice tight lacing for the style.
S: Bartender said this was aged for 7 months in bourbon barrels and after smelling it I believed him. Not quite Chaotic chemistry bourbon but very strong. Some sweetness was right behind that with hints of mostly apples. Little hint of the yeast as well which gave it a nice Belgian nose.
T: The bourbon was right up front. Sort of followed the nose. As it warmed the bourbon sort of faded and the sweetness and the fruits became more apparent.
M: Medium body a little on the heavy side. A little bit sticky as well.
D: Some members of our party got a sampler and did not care for us so my cup overfloweth! Really good beer. Bartender said they thought it might be infected due to the apple taste. Maybe it was a little wild but that is ok with me. Definitely worth trying.

MURRAY, Ky. (AP) -- Robert Covington had 17 points and eight rebounds to lead Tennessee State to a 72-68 victory over No. 9 Murray State on Thursday night, handing the Racers their first loss of the season.
Isaiah Canaan had 31 points and six rebounds for Murray State (23-1, 11-1 Ohio Valley Conference), which was the last unbeaten team in Division I.
Murray State has won the last eight meetings against Tennessee State (16-10, 9-4) dating to 2008-09.
Covington hit a 3-pointer with 4 minutes left that gave Tennessee State a 65-62 lead.
The Tigers led 69-68 when a turnover gave Murray State the ball with 11.2 seconds to play. Tennessee State stole the inbounds pass. Covington was fouled with 9.7 seconds left but he missed both free throws.
Canaan turned the ball over and committed a foul with 3.5 seconds to play. Kenny Moore made two free throws to make it a three-point lead.
Murray State again turned the ball over on a long inbounds pass and Jordan Cyphers made one of two free throws to seal the upset.
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) -- Freshman Kevin Pangos scored 27 points and Gonzaga avenged a loss to the West Coast Conference leader.
The win kept alive the hopes of Gonzaga (19-4, 9-2) to win its 12th consecutive regular season title, the second-longest streak in Division 1 history after UCLA's 13 straight.
But the Zags will need somebody to beat Saint Mary's (22-3, 11-1), which saw its 12-game winning streak snapped. Their last loss was Dec. 22 to No. 6 Baylor.
Rob Sacre and Gary Bell Jr. each added 12 points for Gonzaga.
Matthew Dellavedova had 20 points for Saint Mary's, which shot just 38 percent from the field (21 of 55), including going 5 of 21 from 3-point range.
Gonzaga shot 52 percent (28 of 53) and was 7 of 15 on 3s. The Bulldogs won the rebound battle 40-26.
STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) -- Arnett Moultrie scored 18 points and Dee Bost dished a career-high 13 assists for Mississippi State.
Moultrie was 9 of 14 from the field. Bost had eight assists in the first half as the Bulldogs built a 40-27 lead. The senior's 13 assists were the most by an SEC player this season.
Mississippi State (19-5, 6-3 Southeastern Conference) scored the first eight points and never trailed. Renardo Sidney added 14 points and Rodney Hood scored 10 for the Bulldogs.
Reginald Buckner had 15 points and nine rebounds for Ole Miss (14-9, 4-5), which has lost three of four. Jarvis Summers scored 12 points and Jelan Kendrick added 11 for the Rebels.
Mississippi State's 13-game home winning streak is tied for the program's second-longest since Humphrey Coliseum opened in 1975.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Wisconsin's Jordan Taylor scored 27 points for his first college win in his home state.
The Badgers (19-6, 8-4 Big Ten) failed to score over the last 7½-plus minutes of the second half while the Gophers (17-8, 5-7) dug out of a 13-point hole.
Ryan Evans had 17 points and 11 rebounds for Wisconsin, which went 15 for 17 from the free throw line in overtime.
Rodney Williams and Andre Hollins guided a frantic comeback by the Gophers in the final minutes of regulation after they fell behind 49-36. The Badgers made only one basket over the last 9½ minutes of the second half, a putback by Jared Berggren with 7:44 remaining.
Both Austin Hollins and Andre Hollins had shots to win the game in the final seconds for Minnesota.
Andre Hollins had 20 points, including five 3-pointers, and six rebounds for Minnesota, while Williams had 16 points.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) -- Cody Zeller scored 22 points and Victor Oladipo and Christian Watford both had 18 for Indiana.
It was the third win in four games for the Hoosiers (19-6, 7-6 Big Ten).
D.J. Richardson scored 19 points, Meyers Leonard had 17 and Brandon Paul finished with 13 for Illinois (16-8, 5-6), which lost for the fifth time in six games. Illinois has lost five straight in Bloomington when the Hoosiers are ranked and failed to take its first lead in the series since 1975.
Zeller and Oladipo combined to make 5 of 6 free throws to start the decisive 15-6 run that gave Indiana a 77-65 lead with 4:49 to go. Illinois didn't get closer than 10 the rest of the way.

Senior forward Damien Tunstalle and sophomore forward Jordan Davis both
recorded double-doubles to lead the Concord University men's basketball
team to a 71-60 victory over Ohio Valley University Saturday afternoon
at the Carter Center.
The victory, Concord's third-straight win, improved the Mountain Lions'
overall record to 14-9 and their West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference record to 10-9. Ohio Valley fell to 3-23 overall and 2-18 in
league play.
Tunstalle scored a team-high 16 points to go with 10 rebounds while
Davis scored 14 points and grabbed a game-best 14 rebounds to secure his
second consecutive double-double. Davis' rebound total matched a
career-high while Tunstalle's scoring output marked the 11th time this
year he has led CU in points.
Freshman guard Cam Shannon and senior guard Eric Bailey both added 12
points. Bailey connected on three three-pointers to tie Tunstalle for
the team lead.
In addition to his eight points, sophomore guard Mike Boyd passed out
six assists. Freshman forward Nick Moyer came away with three steals.
Four other Concord players had two steals on the way to a team total of
13, the second most by the Maroon and Gray this year.
The Mountain Lions out rebounded Ohio Valley 44-38 and forced the
Fighting Scots into 20 turnovers while committing only 13 of their own
for a plus seven turnover margin. Concord dominated the paint,
outscoring Ohio Valley 32-12 inside.
Ohio Valley went 4-for-7 from three-point range while Concord made just
three of its first 12 field goal attempts to help the Fighting Scots
jump out to a five-point, 19-14, lead through the opening 9:42 of the
first half.
Concord quickly erased the deficit when Bailey scored seven consecutive
points to put CU up 21-19, but Ohio Valley answered with 13-8 run of its
own that was sparked by three more three-pointers to retake the lead,
32-28, with 58 seconds remaining in the opening period.
However, the turning point of the game for Concord came in the final
moments of the half. Tunstalle scored on back-to-back possessions, first
on a dunk and then with a three-pointer, to send CU into the half with
the momentum and leading 33-32 despite OVU making seven three-pointers
and Concord shooting just 29 percent from the field in the opening 20
Shannon quickly set the tone for the rest of the game by starting the
second half with a ferocious dunk. From there it was all Concord as the
Mountain Lions wasted little time opening up a 13-point lead, 54-41,
through the first nine minutes of play in the period. Concord led by as
many as 17 points en route to the 71-60 win.
Concord's lead did not slip below 10 points for the final 13 minutes of
the game. After a poor shooting first half, Concord responded by hitting
45.2 percent (14-for-31) of its field goals in the final 20 minutes of
play. The Mountain Lions also made 7-of-9 foul shots in the second half
after making 11-of-18 free throws in the first period.
Tunstalle scored 10 of his 16 points in the second half, going 4-for-6
from the field overall and 2-for-4 from three-point range. Shannon
chipped in nine points in the period as well.
Osvaldas Gaizauskas scored a game-high 19 points for Ohio Valley.
Concord will look to extend its winning streak to four games when it
begins the final week of the regular season Monday night at home against
West Virginia State. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Stopped in here thinking about a beer, pizza, and watching the NFC title game.
Well... The place was PACKED. I had to stand by the bar, and try not to block any of the TV's. Atmosphere seemed cool though, small place, with a tiny bar on the right. Most of the seating is old school benches and tables. Looks like a pizza place should.
Quality was good. The taps were all craft, and they had some good choices. Looks like they just ran out of Pliny (damn, second time in the last few weeks this has happened to me) but they had Moonlight Death & Taxes (forgot how good that was), Green Flash, Anderson Valley, Bear Republic, among others.
Service was ok, nothing special. The place was crowded, and she was fairly speedy considering, but not all that friendly.
Selection was pretty good. 16 taps with a decent variety.
Didn't try the food because it probably would have taken a long time to arrive, but it looked really good.
Prices were fair.
Overall, maybe I'll make it back sometime and hope they aren't nearly as busy because it looked like a pretty good place to eat and drink a good beer.

Been going here for years. It's almost getting too crowded for its own good as of late. Bar has about 10 or so seats and there are tables filing up the rest of the space. Ordering for food and/or beer is done at the counter and everything is brought out.
Tables are packed somewhat tight though there are some spots that are a little less cramped. Lights are pretty bright day or night here. Not exactly a typical bar atmosphere.
Service is generally pretty good but bartenders can be a little slow sometimes, even when there is hardly anyone seated at the bar.
Beer selection is very good. They have about 10 taps that stay the same, including Pliny and another solid IPA (GF West Coast IPA or Racer 5), plus other local staples (Anderson Valley, Moonlight, Trumer, Anchor) and 3 rotating taps. Russian River sours come in from time to time, which is a nice treat. They do a pretty good job of catering somewhat to beer geeks and having things that the regular crowd will be in to as well.
Crowd is mainly locals, some families, college students, etc. Bar crowd is definitely regulars, always the same faces there, no matter when I go.
Food is pretty good, lots of vegan options, clearly marked on the menu. Pizza by the slice is available, which is great. This is usually what I order. Nice happy hour, $1 off slices and beer, works out pretty well.
I'm probably a little hard on this place as I've been so many times over the years, but don't let my review dissuade you, top notch beer selection for the downtown Berkeley area, and good food as well. Definitely worth a visit if you want one of the best beer selections in Berkeley.

This place is probably going to be my go to spot to grab a bite/beer on weekends. The tap list is good, and they keep the three guest taps rotating pretty often. Pliny the Elder is almost always on tap, as is something from Moonlight and Anderson Valley. Really nice atmosphere, as last night there was live blues music, multiple TVs with sports and other stuff, and ample seating. The bar is small, but it doesn't really matter. Service is very good as well, as they are helpful and quick about everything. In terms of quality everything was good, but I do wish they had glassware other than pint glasses for everything. Food was great; I get a slice or two usually which runs about 2.75 a slice, but you can add toppings to your slices which is nice. Whole pizzas look expensive, but the ones other people got looked absolutely delicious, so they may be worth it. Overall this is a really nice, informal place you could go to at any time of day or day of the week and feel at home.

An upscale pizza joint with an emphasis on craft beer.
The restaurant is fairly small, and surprisingly very clean for a place on University. There is a small bar, a few lounge-style chairs and coffee tables, and a dozen or so dining tables. Two flat screens on either side of the restaurant cover any games you might be missing, but I wouldn't go here solely to watch sports.
The pizza is the standout; they use organic ingredients and make a very good NY-style thin crust. The pizza stands up to other Berkeley favorites Lanesplitter and Pie in the Sky. There is also an impressive selection of hot sauces. The beer selection is above average for a pizza place. The owner is a craft beer enthusiast, and while he isn't an expert, he loves to talk about beer and is open to suggestions. He loves Pliny the Elder and promises to serve it as long as RR brews it. Other taps are Trumer, Damnation, Lagunitas IPA, SNPA, Anchor Steam, and the tasty Anderson Valley Oatmeal Stout. Notable bottles include Blind Pig, Green Flash Hop Head Red, Racer 5, Old Rasputin, and Speakeasy IPA.
On paper, Bobby G's is a straight-A, however, there is something a bit too clean and sterile about the place to be an aesthetically appealing beer bar. It is a family friendly restaurant, and as such the lighting is a little bright to be comfortable for a real beer session. If you intend to have 5 pints with your pizza, Lanesplitter would be the better option. But Bobby G's is a great place to kickoff a weekend night with an excellent pizza -one of the 2 or 3 best in Berkeley- and a pint or two of craft beer.

The NFL fined LB James Harrison $5,000 for his hit on Titans QB Vince Young in the Steelers' Week Two victory. Harrison was named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Week after recording two sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, a tackle for loss and 11 tackles.
One of those sacks cost Harrison, though. He lifted Young and slammed him to the ground on a sack. Harrison was not penalized on the play, but Titans head coach Jeff Fisher said Wednesday that a penalty should have been called.
"That is roughing the passer. That is textbook. You cannot lift and drive a quarterback into the ground," Fisher said on NFL Network. "Now why that was not called? I cannot answer that. I don't know. But that should have been called."

The Cop Who Saw Tomorrow
By ENS
Published: 13th Apr 2014 06:00:00 AM
Kiran Bedi, Former Supercop and Social Activist
She looks almost fragile for such a redoubtable fighter, but the diminutive Kiran Bedi is one of the capital's tallest women—social activist, the tough cop who cleaned up Delhi's unruly roads, TV hostess, Magsaysay Award winner and most lately the face of civil society along with Anna Hazare. She sums up the city she loves and had served for decades as "architecturally historical, behaviourally volatile, environmentally academic and culturally weak".
Since the days she unleashed traffic cranes to bring errant drivers to task on city roads, Kiran feels Delhi has become more organised but at the same time is "bursting at the seams".
She shares a bond with Delhi's youth, forged in the fires of Hazare's agitation. "They are part of the national aspirational youth. Being in the capital, they get greater exposure and media coverage, which makes them comparatively more aware and even proactive and also more emotional, histrionic and transactional."
Yet the cop in her keeps her head level, wishing for peace in her turbulent life. "Let's elect the right kind of government now and support it fully to make it deliver. Fight only if not heard! It is time for some truce in order to develop, grow and be creative," she says. Delhi's burgeoning traffic needs to be controlled by "using a huge amount of technology and unsparing enforcement. Whoever they are, violators must pay hefty fines and suffer serious penalties."
Even though Delhi is where she has taken triumphs and tribulations in her stride, Kiran says it was Amritsar and Chandigarh that shaped her. But Delhi keeps her on her toes and also gave her a worldwide exposure and opportunities to learn and deliver. She feels it has gained in prosperity in some areas but has lost space elsewhere, including some cultural aspects. "It's a city of immigrants. And also neo-rich," says Kiran who loves relaxing at home doing what she feels like doing—in "my own gym, reading, watching a movie or a TV programme, writing, meditating undisturbed. With myself!"
If you were to sum up the city in one word, what would it be?
Heart beat of India
If you were to act as a character other than Emperor Akbar, what would it be?
Sardar Patel
How would you like to be remembered?

Hostess Brands Inc., maker of Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho-Hos, Fruit Pies and Wonder Bread, decided to go out of business and liquidate its assets Friday morning after failing to win back striking workers.
The company posted a statement on a website set up specifically for people following the strike.
"We deeply regret the necessity of today's decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike," said Gregory F. Rayburn, chief executive officer of the Texas-based company. "Hostess Brands will move promptly to lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce and focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders."
The Orlando Sentinel reports that earlier this year, Hostess employed 189 people at its Merita Bread Bakery in downtown Orlando and more than 90 people in retail stores across Central Florida.
"We're not asking for a raise. We just want to maintain our pay and our pension. I make less now than when I started here," Ron Hopkins, vice president of the AFL-CIO's Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union Local 103 in Orlando, told the Sentinel.
About one-third of Hostess's workers are union members who are unhappy about the company's cutbacks during its bankruptcy reorganization.
The privately held food maker filed for Chapter 11 protection in January.
The Texas-based firm said significant cost pressures had hindered its ability to compete, "primarily due to legacy pension and medical benefit obligations and restrictive work rules."
Hostess, which employs roughly 19,000 people, said its labor costs, combined with the economic downturn, had squeezed funding and prompted the decision to restructure.
The company emerged from bankruptcy in 2009, but the restructuring efforts at that time were insufficient, the company said.
The company said bakery production has already shut down.

Syn-Aud-Con is bringing a series of sound reinforcement seminars to a variety of locations.
In Providence, RI, Sound Reinforcement for Operators will be offered May 1-2, and Sound Reinforcement for Technicians will be given May 3-4. Discounts are available when both courses are combined.
In Sound Reinforcement for Operators, microphone selection, mixer setup, and signal flow are extensively covered. The emphasis is on the practical rather than the theoretical, using real-world explanations of potentially complex subjects. Multimedia listening demonstrations drive the points home and convey a level of understanding that will help you head off problems before they occur. This is core for anyone involved in sound reinforcement. It covers the fundamentals, but it is not a beginner's course.
In Sound Reinforcement for Technicians, the theory behind how a system works is covered, while demonstrating how to use instrumentation to look "under the hood" to troubleshoot systems. Advanced topics such as crossover adjustments and equalization are presented in a technical, yet practical manner. This course will teach you how the systems work and how to fix them when they don't. The principles presented in the Technicians course are built on those discussed in the Operators course, we recommend the Operators as a prerequisite for this seminar. This course is for those who install, configure and calibrate sound reinforcement systems.
Additional Seminar Dates:
Sound Reinforcement for Operators:
Aug. 14-15, 2006 - Washington, DC
Aug. 28-29, 2006 - Atlanta, GA
Oct. 16-17, 2006 - LDI Show in Las Vegas
Sound Reinforcement for Technicians:
Aug. 16-17, 2006 - Washington DC
Aug. 30-31, 2006 - Atlanta, GA
Oct. 18-19, 2006 - LDI Show in Las Vegas
Sound Reinforcement for Designers:
June 3-6, 2006 - InfoComm - Orlando FL
Sept. 18-21, 2006 - Chicago, IL
For additional information, call Brenda at 800-796-2831.

Houston Girl Scout expands music therapy room to earn Gold Award
Houston, TX – Girl Scout Jennifer R. helped develop the music therapy room for Bo's Place to earn Girl Scouts of the USA's Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can receive. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts achieve this national recognition.
"I read studies of child and adolescent therapy and results of the effectiveness of music in grieving," said Jennifer, a 2012 graduate of St. Pius X High School. "I also learned about professional communications in etiquette, and the importance of communication."
The Girl Scout Gold Award represents the highest achievement in Girl Scouting; it recognizes girls in grades 9 through 12 who demonstrate extraordinary leadership through sustainable and measurable Take Action projects. Since 1916, girls have successfully answered the call to Go Gold, an act that indelibly marks them as accomplished members of their communities and the world.
"Bo's Place is a non-profit organization that helps children and their families that are experiencing grief," said Jennifer. "I chose this project because their music room was in need of improvement. After requiring their services myself, I wanted to give back."
For her project, Jennifer led a team of volunteers in seeking donations for the development and expansion of a music therapy room for Bo's Place. She painted canvas wall décor and worked with Bo's Place personnel to liven up the music room.
Jennifer was a member of Girl Scouts for 12 years. At St. Pius X High School she was a member ofNational Honor Society, theater, and made the Dean's List Honor Roll. She currently attends the University of Houston and is studying biology.
About Girl Scouts of San Jacinto CouncilGirl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 70,000 girl members and 19,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties.

Hampton & Richmond Borough count cost of call offs
4:00pm Friday 14th February 2014 in Non-League By Stuart Amos
Hampton & Richmond Borough chairman Steve McPherson has warned the bad weather could cost the club up to £20,000 in cold hard cash.
The Beavers have played only once this month as the bad weather has put the skids under their rise up the Ryman Premier League table.
And, while the club lives within its means, McPherson has warned he may have to go cap in hand to his fellow board members to cover the lost revenue.
"I know it is the same for everybody, but it does not help a club like us," he said ahead of Saturday's visit of Bognor Regis Town.
"We set a budget at the start of the season and we stick to that, but this weather is going to cost us between £10,000 and £20,000.
"The games get re-arranged but you never recoup potential weekend takings at midweek matches.
"Luckily we have a good board, who will help to cover the difference if it comes to it."
McPherson has not given up hope of a play-off push this term and is looking to hand joint managers Darren Powell and Paul Barry – whose side are currently ninth in the table – a boost with the capture of a Conference Premier quality player in the coming weeks.
"We thought we had a good enough squad at the start of the season, but a lack of confidence or whatever meant we had a slow start," he added.
"Charlie Moone's goals have kept us in the hunt and if we can claw some ground back with a win over Bognor it will make things interesting.
"We will undoubtedly be a stronger prospect next season, but we have not given up hope on the play-offs this year, yet."

WASHINGTON, Ill. -- The community exceeded expectations to help a 5-year-old cancer patient fight his disease.
A blood drive held in honor of Nathan Pennington on Tuesday collected 86 pints of blood. The goal was 38 pints.
Nathan is undergoing chemotherapy following the removal of three tumors caused by an aggressive form of brain cancer.
He's had multiple life-saving blood transfusions and the blood collected will help him and others in dire need.
"The need for blood is constant. Every two seconds, someone in America needs a blood transfusion and the Red Cross needs to collect 17,000 pints of blood a day to help meet patient needs," said Ben Corey, communications program manager for the local American Red Cross. "But putting a face like Nathan's to this cause really helps out and it really demonstrates to people just how important it is."
All blood types are needed, but the Red Cross says there is an urgent need for O negative, B negative and A negative blood.
To donate, call 1-800-Red-Cross or visit www.redcrossblood.org.

Triple Take: Score predictions for Round 2
27 Comments · Posted by ryantipps in General, Playoffs, Triple Take
Two-thirds of our Triple Take crew will be calling the Wesley-Ithaca game on Saturday.
Wesley athletics photo
Half the field is now gone after an exciting Round 1 of the playoffs. Teams that had Cinderella seasons – Gallaudet and John Carroll among them – and other squads will now have to watch the remaining four weeks of Division III football away from the sidelines.
All four of the top seeds survived the first round, and three of the four seeds that were likely the No. 2 seeds also advanced.
This week, Pat, Keith and Ryan again give you the game-by-game score predictions.These postseason Triple Take predictions are not intended to be lines on the games, but rather a broad test of expectations vs. outcome.
For more info on the 32-team race to Salem, including the brackets, info on each team and feature stories, check our playoffs home page.
We invite you to leave your own score predictions in the comments below, or reach out to us on Twitter.
Ryan's take: Mount Union 41, Wittenberg 34
Keith's take: Mount Union 30, Wittenberg 20
Pat's take: Mount Union 42, Wittenberg 24
Consensus: Mount Union, perhaps a close game.
Ryan's take: Wesley 35, Ithaca 17
Keith's take: Wesley 24, Ithaca 16
Pat's take: Wesley 35, Ithaca 10
Consensus: Wesley, perhaps comfortably.
Ryan's take: Bethel 34, Wartburg 14
Keith's take: Bethel 24, Wartburg 17
Pat's take: Bethel 45, Wartburg 17
Consensus: Bethel, comfortably.
Ryan's take: North Central 28, UW-Platteville 24
Keith's take: North Central 35, UW-Platteville 33
Pat's take: North Central 35, UW-Platteville 30
Consensus: North Central in a tight game. Although none of us picked Platteville to win, since everyone thinks it will be a one-score game or less, nobody is ruling Platteville out.
Ryan's take: UW-Whitewater 31, Franklin 21
Keith's take: UW-Whitewater 28, Franklin 14
Pat's take: UW-Whitewater 31, Franklin 17
Consensus: UW-Whitewater.
Ryan's take: Linfield 49, Hampden-Sydney 20
Keith's take: Linfield 51, Hampden-Sydney 21
Pat's take: Linfield 49, Hampden-Sydney 14
Consensus: Linfield, comfortably.
Ryan's take: Mary Hardin-Baylor 45, Rowan 13
Keith's take: Mary Hardin-Baylor 28, Rowan 0
Pat's take: Mary Hardin-Baylor 51, Rowan 9
Consensus: UMHB, comfortably.
Ryan's take: St. John Fisher 27, Hobart 24
Keith's take: St. John Fisher 21, Hobart 16
Pat's take: St. John Fisher 31, Hobart 28
Consensus: St. John Fisher in a tight game. Similar to the North Central/Platteville game, this low margin suggests nobody is ruling Hobart out.

The publisher of marijuana magazine High Times has sued the state of Colorado in federal court over the state's rules preventing recreational cannabis businesses from advertising in most publications.
High Times, along with local weekly magazine Westword, filed the lawsuit on Monday. It marks the first time anyone has challenged the restrictions in court.

The rules allow recreational marijuana businesses to advertise only in publications that are adult-oriented. According to the state's rules, recreational marijuana stores can advertise only in a publication that "has reliable evidence that no more than 30 percent of the publication's readership is reasonably expected to be under the age of 21." There is no such restriction on medical marijuana businesses.
The lawsuit argues the rules, which also restrict television, radio and outdoor advertising, are an unconstitutional restriction of free speech.
The magazines are "chilled from soliciting advertisements from prospective clients and prevented from making revenue from clients who wish to engage in advertising concerning marijuana-related products and services," the lawsuit's complaint states.
The lawsuit doesn't state specific instances in which High Times or Westword were harmed by the rules. In Westword's latest issue, there are at least nine ads by marijuana businesses advertising that they are open for recreational sales or soon will be.
It is also unclear how the suit's filing in federal court will impact the judge's assessment of its claim that the ads concern "lawful activity," since marijuana is illegal federally.
But publications have previously had success in federal court in overturning another Colorado marijuana law — one that required marijuana-themed publications to be kept behind the counter at stores.
A spokeswoman for the Colorado attorney general's office said she couldn't comment because the state's lawyers hadn't yet seen the suit.
