3.4/5 rDev -6.3%
Golden in color with tinges of orange, this beer has a nose that is mild by IPA standards, but still offers some noticeable citrus, bread, and a touch of pine. The foam is good at first, but it settles down and behaves itself for the duration.
Taste- wise, this IPA is a little milder than I expected for a North Coast product. Its flavor profile is one of citrus, light pine, and lightly toasted malts. The finish is bitter, but only slightly so, and the taste continues to go back to that of citrus fruits like tangerine and grapefruit.
This is a nicely balanced IPA, but I must say that, for a North Coast product, it leans a little too far toward the tame side. After all, this is the company that brought Old Rasputin to the world and with a beer that big, bold, and incredible, I expect greater things than Acme California IPA. Still, it is a decent beer overall and certainly nothing I would turn away. It has some nice flavor characteristics but I wish North Coast would develop them more thoroughly so that I could rate this a great beer. Until then, it is still a good beer that most will like but not the amazing beer it promises to be.

Pours a lighter shade of copper with a thin white head,very well balanced aromas piney hop over top of sweet caramel malt makes this appetizing to the nose for sure.I have to say that this IPA is much more balanced than I expected sure the healthy dose of piney/citrusy,resiny hop is there but its held up niely to a lightly swwet caramel backbone that makes for a nice finish and aftertaste.This beer is alot more balanced than I had expected California IPA to be means tongue curling hop monster but this has the hops with the malt and I liked it,I would definently buy again.

Appearance This one poured a beautiful, pure orange in color with some lively carbonation and a bit of sediment on the bottom of the glass. The head was puffy and showed a lot of retention. It was so fluffy that I had to touch it and, yes indeed, it is soft to the touch.
Smell There is a wonderful mix of hops in this nose. I can pick up some good citrus and a bit of pine. There are some light fruity notes that excel. The malt base is here actually its very thick but this is just a supporting cast to this hop bomb.
Taste Oh, yeah. This is East Coast meets West Coast. The big West Coat hop flavors are out in spades here. I can also pick up those light, fruity back East hops. The malt backbone is large and in charge.
Mouthfeel This very balanced medium to full-bodied IPA is a mouthfull to say the least. It is big and malty and really gets the gums working.
Drinkability This reminds me of Brutal Bitter. Its big with some good sweetness and offers a lot to the drinker/taster. Maybe it has crystal hops?

A very sessionable IPA but not a standout at all. The beer poured a light amber color with a nice white head that left great lace on the glass. The smell was lightly hopped for a AIPA but still inviting with light citrus and hop scents. The taste was nothing outstanding with an over emphasis on the malts in my opinion. There was a touch of dry hop bitterness but this was definantly a more balanced IPA that would work as a good transition beer for people. Recommended but only if you are new to IPA's.

This is a tasty IPA, even though the one i had differs slightly from what is described. The Acme California IPA I had has a different bottle label, and says 6.5% on the label.
The appearance and smell are exactly as this style should be - crisp & light colored. All sorts of floral complexities in the nose.
The taste is good - sharp & bitter, but never overpowering. The mouthfeel may be lacking a bit. My girlfriend says it hits you all at once & quickly dies away.
I would purchase this IPA again, and could drink several of them, so high drinkability points for Acme California IPA.

Nice example of an IPA. The beer was an amber color with a thick white head and abundant lacing. The aroma was primarily floral, with a hint of honey. I think I could detect a little citrus also. The taste was more grapefruit, but I could taste some pine also. This was not a hop bomb, actually fairly mild. It went well with my Reuben.

Presentation: 12oz twist-off bottle. A blonde beer maiden holds a tray of full beer mugs, and two mugs in the other hand. She is smiling (at me?) amongst a field of hops and malt. "Marry me fair beer maiden." comes to mind as a drool for the first sip of malty nectar.
Appearance: A very clear rich amber colour crowned by a frothy white head that retains, and sticks to the glass. Small bubbles.
Smell: Malty sweet, grainy, perfumy, with alcohol notes.
Taste: What a mouthfeel! Very rich, smooth, full, complex. Loads of malt sweetness up-front, some toasted notes, with some major alcohol presence. All of this is underlined by some fruity esters and a well balanced citrus/flowery hop characteristic.
Notes: This brew finishes strong, semi-dry, and warms the body @ 6.5%. An excellent West Coast IPA, with a kick. FYI ... my lust for the label had nothing to do with this review.

12 oz bottle. Pours a golden orange with a soapy white head that retains well and leaves some lacing.
The aroma is grassy hops, a little bready malt and quite a bit of DMS. Floral hops come out as it warms.
The flavor is fruity (melon) and toasted malts follwed by an earthy floral hoppiness. It has a big lingering bitter aftertaste. Skunky Canadian beer burps. It's medium bodied and lightly carbonated, a little watery.
Overall, a pretty pedestrian IPA. It's pretty unbalanced and just doesn't do much for me.

From the tap it came a nice medium golden with a white creamy head of teensy bubbles. Nice light and fresh scent, citrus... Alot of lacing. Nice hoppy bite, but not too intense. Good flavors. Grapefruit juice and rind, itsy bit of pepper in there, not much. Some dark fruits. Very easy drinking.

Pours a hazy light copper with a finger head that sticks around and leaves some nice lacing. Aroma is very nice citrus with hints of pine. Taste is citrus with nice crisp hops and enough malts to keep the bitters from getting too bad. Mouthfeel is slightly resiny, but okay for style. Very drinkable and much much better than the California Pale Ale.

Presentation: 12 oz short brown bottle with no freshness date.
Appearance: The shaded golden colour shows a good clarity, a healthy looking foamy head draws attention as it sticks to the glass.
Smell: Citrus and mild minty hops in the nose, light esters and pale malt character as well.
Taste & Mouthfeel: The semi-aggressive hop character brands a citric piney and almost minty bitter flavour from start to finish. Alcoholic esters are mild yet quite warming. The solid foundation of malt does not build any higher but holds together well. Finishes with a steely grain and raw hop bitterness.
Notes: This is the typical west coast IPA love it or hate. I for one love it and will come back to it for sure.

4.22/5 rDev +16.3%
A treat to try this one on tap at the Blind tiger NYC, poured, bronzed golden and cloudy, but a citrus nose. Crisp malt backbone, smooth and nicely rounded on the tongue. Hops appear quickly, with a nice grainyness and cirtus notes, nice long piney tastes on the palate. Finishes with a well balanced dance across the tongue. Nice IPA, wish we saw this on a regular basis in the NY area.

I am really of a fan of most of the 'west coast' IPAs, but I felt that this one fell a little short.
The appearance was OK. Poured a great light orange color with a small amount of white head. Smelled pretty good with a lot of that west coast citrus hops.
The taste is where it really went down in score. The great smell did not translate to the taste. Perhaps I had an older bottle and didn't realize it. The hops did not really come through as I expected. A little thin in the mouth feel.
Good to try it, but I don't think I'd seek this one out again as there are just too many great beers out there to enjoy.

Maybe I missed something or got a bad batch, but this beer really did not do it for me. It pours a very light orange with a big white head. Aroma lacks the hops I would expect from an IPA. The taste is the same; missing the citrus hop bite, but leaving you with the pilsner-like taste. A good beer, but a bad IPA.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Basketball Free Throw Attempts Comparisons
So we all know the outcome of last night. We also know this isn't the first time the Blazers have fallen apart like this down the stretch when leading the game. So I finally put together a jump shot vs drive/paint shot video analysis thingy. The game last night reminded me of the Grizzlies game (also at the Rose Garden) when the Blazers started to resort to jump shots. It makes me mad and decided to just make a video showing why the constant jump shots when having the lead is a horrible thing (and allows the opponent right back in the game when they do it). This game was pretty bad though, the video starts with 6 minutes left in the 4th and goes through every Blazer possession and their shot choices including attempts/made/free throws and total points. Armon's shot does not count because he is Armon (the total points Armon has at the end is pretty funny compared to the total jump shot points). Hope you enjoy it and I'll make some more of these, I might even make one from the Bucks game last night just to show the difference. Also I uploaded another Blazer Phantom video which is #2. It's not as obvious but it was the block Marcus Camby made which was clean but called a foul. In HD you can see it was clearly all ball. All in fun, it will be interesting to see the collection I get from now to the end of the season. Video located here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1U60S9YxP4 Again sorry about the poor quality, I'm working my way to getting my tuner upgraded to record everything in HD (like my previous videos from the last 2 years) and slowly gathering the funds to do so. Once I get it then everything will be crystal clear. This method works for now. More to come!

Woman injured in fall on Witney's uneven paving
1:00pm Wednesday 14th November 2012 in News By Tom Jennings
A WITNEY woman has called for repairs to the town's paving after she was badly injured falling on an uneven stone.
Ann Madden, 75, was shopping in Witney on October 6 when she fell on paving outside the Woolgate Shopping Centre.
She was left with a bruised nose and jaw, broken finger in her right hand and broken left hand and arm.
The great-grandmother spent 12 days in hospital and had an operation to insert pins in her left arm. The pins are due to be taken out in two weeks' time.
Mrs Madden, of New Yatt Road, said: "I was walking past Baker's Butchers and I stood on a stone that came up out of the ground and into the air.
"It was a bad fall and my face was bleeding afterwards. I was quite a mess."
She added: "I am very annoyed with Oxfordshire County Council.
"We wrote to the council and they say they inspect and maintain the pavements every month, but that is a lie – the stone is still there. They need to get to grips with this because so many people are falling over and someone is going to do more damage than I did. What if an elderly lady in ill health fell? It could have killed her."
Mrs Madden said the state of paths across Witney was "disgusting" and pointed to Corn Street and High Street as a particularly poor area.
She is considering suing the county council for compensation.
In October, disabled residents complained about the "dangerous" state of paving in Witney, including in the town centre, and said it was difficult to traverse.
Council spokesman Martin Crabtree said: "Witney town centre is inspected each month and faults are tackled as and when they are identified. We also respond when members of the public report problems to us.
"The county council has been in discussions with local councillors and the district council regarding the possibility of a wider scheme for Witney Market Square.
"To take this forward designs are being produced to improve the area. Councillors are currently considering how this scheme may be taken forward."
Repairs to Corn Street's footpath, costing £50,000, were due to start this month and £30,000 of work to fix Market Square is expected to start next year.
County Hall has spent about £15,000 this year on railings in Church Green and speed warning signs in Oxford Hill.

RALEIGH -- The players have strolled on the red carpet, awkwardly talking about how they picked out their outfits for the evening, and now, they're inside RBC Center preparing for tonight's All-Star Skills Competition. By the way, we totally are against calling it "SuperSkills" because well.... how hokey is that? Skills Competition, guys. Nice and easy.
Anyway, you're not here for the editorializing. Let's get to the evening's events and tonight's participants.
For starters, you can find tonight's event at 6 p.m. Eastern on Versus in the United States and on CBC in Canada.
Now, the events.
- We'll start with the the classic Fastest Skater competition. One lap around the ice, fastest time wins. There will be six prelims, followed by one final match between the two top times from each team. Apparently, some skaters will try this thing backwards. That should be a sight.
The participants: Team Staal will go with Michael Grabner, Mike Green, Patrick Sharp, Ryan Kesler, Marc Staal and Kris Letang. Team Lidstrom will go with Duncan Keith, Taylor Hall, Matt Duchene, Martin St. Louis, Steven Stamkos and Keith Yandle.
- Next up will be the only interactive event of the night, the Breakaway Challenge. This is the one where Alex Ovechkin will do something silly. Fans can vote via text message on the most creative breakaway attempt. The following skaters each will get four attempts...
For Team Staal, P.K. Subban, Corey Perry and Ovechkin. For Team Lidstrom, Evgeny Dadonov, Anze Kopitar and Henrik Sedin. First, second and third place will all win points.
- Do we need to explain Accuracy Shooting? Hit the targets, save the world. Here are the participants...
Team Staal: Rick Nash, Daniel Sedin, Eric Staal, Logan Couture, Patrik Elias, Ryan Kesler. Dan Boyle and Paul Stastny will be passers.
Team Lidstrom: Brad Richards, Phil Kessel, Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Martin Havlat and Derek Stepan. Danny Briere and Nicklas Lidstrom will be passers.
- The Skills Challenge Relay is complex, so we're going to let the NHL explain this one.
This new event for 2011 is an all-around competition that will showcase the one-timer, passing, puck control, stick-handling and accuracy shooting in four exciting relays. In the one-timer event, three shooters (with the assistance of one passer) must score three goals over an eight inch barrier; in the passing event, one passer must complete a pass into each of the six nets set up around the rink; in the puck control event, one skater will skate through a series of cones while keeping possession of the puck; in the stick handling event, one skater will control the puck through a series of obstacles; and in the accuracy shooting event, one player will take aim at four targets. Each skill must be completed before moving on to the next skill in this timed relay event worth a total of eight points. The group with the fastest time will score four points, second place will score three points and third place will score one point.
Most of the All-Stars will be participating in this one. 16 per team.
- The always-awesome Hardest Shot competition will be next. Zdeno Chara will obviously try to keep his title. Up against him will be...
Team Staal: Chara, Nicklas Lidstrom, David Backes, Tyler Seguin, Patrick Sharp and Rick Nash.
Team Lidstrom: Anze Kopitar, Steven Stamkos, Dustin Byfuglien, Shea Weber, Brent Burns and Cam Fowler.
- The final event will be the Elimination Shootout, where each All-Star will have a chance on goal. Goalies will rotate every three shooters as the teams alternate. If you score, you move on, while every single goal counts as a point for your team.
It should be a fun night. Stick with us as we experience it all here in Raleigh.

A masked man barged into a local medical marijuana dispensary and robbed two people at gunpoint.
It happened at 10:45 a.m. Thursday morning at the Relief Medical Marijuana Facility on Southeast 122nd near Glisan.
No one was hurt, but two volunteers were shaken up and the robber got away with cash and a duffel bag full of pot.
The masked man searched one of the workers and removed items from his pocket. He then grabbed the other volunteer by her hair and held a gun to the back of her head.
The robber told the man if he didn't hurry up, he would shoot the woman.
Katrina Ricalday said she was terrified. She told Fox 12 if her friend had handled the situation differently, she might have been killed.
"I told him thank you," she said. "I told him this morning that he saved my life."
The victims were forced into a bathroom while the robber told them he was waiting for his ride. Police said he also stole wallets, phones and keys.
The suspect is described as a black man, about 6'2" tall and 190 pounds. He's 25 to 30 years old, with a deep voice.

Main Content
Ever since man first looked into the sky, there has been an undeniable fascination with flight. And perhaps no event taps into that spirit quite like the Slam Dunk Contest at NBA All-Star Weekend. This DVD traces the roots of what has become the centerpiece of All-Star Saturday night. Not only will the founding fathers of flight such as Julius Erving and Dominique Wilkins tell their stories, but also more recent stars such as Vince Carter and Blake Griffin reflect on their outstanding performances. Watch dunkers of all shapes and sizes, such as 5'7" Spud Webb, captivate the crowd, re-live the epic battles between Nate Robinson and Dwight Howard, and dip into the Slam Dunk vault for a look at dazzling gems that haven't been unearthed in years. So sit back, hit "play" and get ready for take-off!

This was a very fun DVD with plenty of exciting and historical footage. From Dwight Howard in his Superman cape to the fun rivalry between Jordan and 'Nique, plenty of great moments are captured in this DVD. Short, to the point, and worth the money!!!

UCSF medical centers prepare for strike
On Tuesday morning at 4 a.m., a 48-hour strike will begin at University of California medical centers across the state.
The strike was called by the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 3299, a union representing more than 13,000 UC patient care technical workers.
AFSCME has been at an impasse on contract negotiations with UC for months. Administrators have pointed to proposed pension reform measures as the central issue, while the union has highlighted rising executive salaries and bonuses that they deem unfair at a time when frontline staff positions have been cut. AFSCME also recently called for new caps on UC executives' pensions.
Speaking on a conference call earlier today, Jack Stobo, senior vice president for health sciences and services at the UC system, told reporters that the upcoming strike would affect patient care. He said 150 surgeries had to be rescheduled, and estimated that some 100 patient transfers would be delayed. "We have canceled a number of chemotherapy sessions and approximately half of radiation sessions with patients who are about to start radiation therapy," he added.
UC administrators pegged the total cost of the two-day strike at about $20 million for the entire system, mostly associated with hiring temporary staffers. They did not provide the number of temporary staffers that would be brought on. Stobo said the strike "will impact our ability to provide the quality services that we're committed to provide to a large number of patients."
AFSCME, on the other hand, says it has been working for months to craft a patient protection plan. "We have a patient protection task force in place in the event of a medical emergency," such as an event that would cause a major influx of patients, AFSCME 3299 spokesperson Todd Stenhouse told the Bay Guardian. "Our workers are the ones ... who understand the stakes. That's why they've taken pains to make sure patients are protected."
Union representatives say they are striking in part due to concern about the long-term erosion of patient care, stemming from cuts to frontline staff positions earlier this year.
"This strike is not just about the next two days – it's about the fact that UC is endangering its patients every day with chronic understaffing and reckless cost cutting," said AFSCME 3299 President Kathryn Lybarger. "If we don't stand up to it now, we are inviting disaster when thousands of new patients begin flooding UC hospitals with the onset of the Affordable Care Act in the coming year."
Earlier today, a California Superior Court decision enjoined certain respiratory therapists and other critical classifications from striking, but the ruling does not prevent the strike from going forward. The decision stemmed from an effort by UC to halt the strike by petitioning for injunctive relief with the Public Employees Relations Board (PERB). The labor board upheld the union's right to strike and only sought a temporary injunction in court.
Meanwhile, AFSCME-represented UC service workers will also hold a "sympathy strike" in support of patient care employees, and the University Professional and Technical Employees (UPTE), a union which represents pharmacists, clinical lab scientists, social workers and other health care professionals, is also planning a daylong sympathy strike on May 21.
Jelger Kalmijn, systemwide president of UPTE, told the Bay Guardian that his union membership had voted to strike because "we support our sisters and brothers who work at UCSF." He added that UPTE is also in contract negotiations with UC, and noted that pension reform is a key issue. "People stay here because of the benefits and the pension," Kalmijn said. "It's a serious concern. When [UC] makes half a billion in profit, why should employees have to give up their right to retire with dignity?"
300 layoffs.
Goldman Sachs fires the lowest-performing 10% of employees every year. They're the most powerful IB on the planet and absolutely best-in-class.
commercial for the elites that will never let you into their ranks.
Self delusion.
Look up, not down.
Layoffs aren't driven purely by one year's P and L statement, and it is naive to think that it would be.
A business entity needs to achieve it's target ROI and if costs are impeding that, then they must be cut.
far more pressure on facilities like UCSF. We can only hope that some of the legal challenges to ObamaCare will render it invalid, so that existing service levels can be maintained.
These folks are paid extraordinary benefits, funded by those who receive no such thing.
from the rest of us. For too long they have had job security, inflated pay and ludicrously generous benefits.
Management can hold out for total victory here because they have the support of taxpayers and voters. The workers just look greedy, selfish and out of touch.
UCSF employees work extremely hard every day without the necessary staff to prevent exhaustion. Everyday we are expected to do more and work faster with less staff. UC management has consistently received salary increases and bonuses. UC management has a responsibility to protect the patients that we serve. They risk that everyday with their inadequate staffing levels and current staff layoffs of direct care givers. UCSF has been fined by the state 8 times in the last six years for patient harm. We stand up to defend our ability to provide safe and effective patient care. We stand up to protect our contracts that UC has no real reason to attack. We Care For You, not the CEO making $1 Million dollars a year.
it is not tenable for you to continue to receive healthcare and pension benefits that are far more generous than those who pay your salaires, pay taxes and often have to bear the full cost of their own pensions and healthcare.
The plantation mentality keeps us on it.
UCSF workers do.
Bogus analogy.
That is a metaphor, not an analogy. Look up, not down.
You're a twat.
I think that it is completely outrageous that these people are going to go out on strike and impede patient's care and treatment.
I'm sure assholes like Greg who posted above that say that this is good for patients would be singing a very different tune if it was them who were being denied life saving treatment. But OH NOES! Fuck the patients, let them suffer while we negotiate more money.
I'm not even weighing in on the merits of what the workers are seeking here. They may very well be in "the right", but to make their case through the increased suffering of cancer patients is simply unconscionable.
considers themselves a healthcare "professional".
Perhaps we need a law making it illegal to go onstrike, like we have for cops, air traffic controllers and other critical staff.
And I know that's hard to hear if you're caught up in the middle of a treatment that may (or may not -they could well have contingencies for the strike) get disrupted. But in the end it's people like you who are going to get better care as a result of the UCSF workers position. And me, btw, because I use UCSF as well.
These workers are fighting for staffing levels and better working conditions (which ultimately translates to better care), while management is fighting to cut staffing levels to the bone. In the short term, some patients may be temporarily inconvenienced. But if management wins, ultimately patients will lose in the long term.
need to be sustainable. And they are currently not for all public sector workers. There won;t be a UCSF if the pension fund continues to take monies that could otherwise be directed at patient care.
Your other point is effectively blackmail, which i already said. Pay us more or we'll treat you badly is not a valid policy - UCSF workers should be working at 100% regardless - and not according to how happy they are with their benefits.
Any worker who cant give 100% needs to be fired and replaced.
We have people suffering, who are in need of surgeries, treatments, test results, etc. etc., and these are needed NOW. Don't talk to me about possible contingencies, because all of these things are going to be put on hold for the majority of patients. We're supposed to take some solace in a skeleton crew handling only the most severe cases? How dare you trivialize this by deeming it a "temporary inconvenience." This is literally life-and-death for some patients, and for others it is prolonging suffering, it is not some touchy-feely "lets make all the workers happy bullshit." I'll say it again and I've signed my name to it: it is unconscionable to make your case using sick people seeking care as your leverage.
Go back to dreaming about knocking down some dam somewhere or some other such crap you fantasize about and take your callous attitude regarding the people in the cancer ward with you.

The man substitutes dogma for real compassion.
I and my whole family are also UCSF patients. This isn't some hypothetical thing with me. This is about my quality of care, and yours.
He's just arrived and he already sees thru you.
At least Dan's a real person. I disagree with his position, but I see where he's coming from. I don't think he really wants to think about the big picture, and I understand that if you're in the middle of cancer therapy. You want what's best for you, now. Not necessarily best for the patients as a whole in general. But with that mentality, the management can just use patients as hostages for policies that only serve to destroy patient care. Dan also sounds like he's generally unsympathetic to labor, but that's Ok. It's actually refreshing to hear from a conservative who's not a troll like you.
It sounds like UC workers don't even get this simple fact nor do most voters.
...Does anyone connect potholes to defined benefit pensions....anyone?
How much per year is the City of SF general fund now spending on pensions? $600 million? AND SFERS is STILL billions short of being fully funded...
major employers. Although the private sector has gotten the message and converted to DC, the public sector is back in the dark ages.
If things are so bad at UCSF, then the workers should stop working until the issues are settled. Or else shut up and get back to work. A 2-day strike uses patients as pawns to up the stakes in a dispute with management. Shameful!
Your article shows you have a lot of background in this topic. Can you direct me to other articles about this? I will recommend this article to my friends as well. Thanks.

A 161,000 square foot will not be built on the property across from the Cortlandt Town Center and next to
The owners of the Acadia Realty, bought the 36-acre lot from Westrock Development, the developer that was considering selling it to Walmart. The current Walmart in the CTC will stay where it is and Acadia will build something smaller on the property it now owns, Puglisi said. Westrock had owned the property for more than six years and was originally planning to open a shopping mall before its now-canceled Walmart plans.
"We have a partner in community that will work with us and not put something too large in that site and that will hear ideas of what we'd like to see there," Puglisi said. The Town Supervisor suggests putting a trolley there that will take people around the parking lot at the CTC so shoppers can park in one spot and have transportation to all the stores in the large shopping center.
Puglisi was at first hesitant but to a Walmart Supercenter moving in, stating that she had concerns over traffic, size and the fact that the property would have had to be rezoned because it was half commercial and half residential. The Town Board was also generally opposed to the supercenter plans.
What do you think of the new plans? What do you want to see there? Please take our poll and tell us in the comments.

The Cavaliers conquered the defensive battle against Nicholas County Friday with a 6-0 win over the Grizzlies. The seniors plan to keep the momentum.
"I'm excited," said senior Garrett Smith, "I just hope we do really good and make it as far as we can and hopefully win a state championship for the last year."
They hope to follow in the footsteps of the wrestling team who won a state championship in 2013. After 3 straight playoff appearances, the football team thinks this is their year.
"We just want to get one step farther, we are looking for a state championship this year," said Chris Gabbert.
The upperclassmen have established chemistry that can only come with time.
Logan Brown explained, "We've played so long together we're just great now."
"We've been together ever since little league, we have a lot of charisma," added Gabbert.
The seniors are ready to make another playoff run and know exactly what they need to do to motivate the rest of the team.
"Just show them how hard you can work and what you can work up to. That it pays off," said Brown.
Greenbrier West will take on Richwood this Friday.

Repair your computer in Windows 8 and 8.1By Margus Saluste. Last modified: 2014-08-14.
How to use Windows 8 and 8.1 Recovery Environment for repairing common startup problems
If Automatic Repair fails and you cannot even get into Safe Mode, then most probably there are some errors or missing files on your hard disk that prevent Windows 8 or 8.1 from starting correctly. Bootable installation media (DVD or USB) or Recovery Drive/System Repair Disc are helpful in such cases.
Those who have Windows 8 or 8.1 installed on SSD, beware: turn off built-in Disk Defragmenter; there is a known bug in it that starts defragmenting (not using the TRIM command) SSD-s. This will lead to decreased lifetime and failure of the drive.
This is a two-page article - page 2 covers Refresh your PC, Reset your PC and restoring a system image.
Common problems with Windows 8 and 8.1 installations
Here is a list of problems that users encounter most often:
- Endless Automatic Repair failures and restart loops - you cannot disable Automatic Repair, but you can boot from installation media or Recovery Drive to fix errors and make Windows 8 or 8.1 usable again.
The behavior can also be an indicator that Windows 8/8.1 does not have required drivers for a disk controller. You can then enter BIOS/UEFI and set your disk controller mode (aka SATA mode, RAID mode) to Standard (aka Standard IDE or SATA, Legacy) instead of AHCI or RAID (take note of the original setting first!). This will often ensure that Windows knows which drivers to use for booting from the system drive.
In case you have multiple hard drives, power off your computer and remove its power cord. Then disconnect drive cables from all hard disks other than the one where Windows is installed. Plug the power cord back in and see if this helps Windows to boot properly.
After Windows 8/8.1 starts, upgrade storage drivers and software using Intel's Driver Update Utility (Internet Explorer installs ActiveX control, other browsers require Java) or find the driver software from AMD's site. This often solves all problems.
If nothing helps, boot into Recovery Environment from Recovery Drive/System Repair Disc or Windows 8/8.1 installation media, open Command Prompt and follow these instructions to disable Automatic Repair completely.
- Disk check runs each time Windows 8/8.1 starts - on multi-boot systems (Windows 8 or 8.1 is installed along with an older version of Windows or some other operating system) you need to disable the Fast Start-up feature in Shutdown settings. The feature (previously known as Hybrid Boot) enables significantly shorter load times while Windows 8/8.1 starts after a shutdown or sleep/hibernation, but the file that contains fast boot information can be damaged by starting another version of Windows or another OS (Linux, for example). This causes Windows to run a disk check each time.
To resolve the issue, open Control Panel in Windows 8 or 8.1. Type "power" into search box and click Change what the power buttons do.
In the Define power buttons and turn on password protection window, click Change settings that are currently unavailable.
Then, in the Shutdown settings section, clear the Turn on fast start-up (recommended) check box and click the Save changes button.
- Windows 8 or 8.1 is unable to boot from a GPT drive on UEFI-enabled devices - if you formatted or converted your system drive from MBR partitioning to GPT, you must ensure the EFI boot options state "UEFI only". Windows 8 and 8.1 require UEFI for GPT drives, this is a must and there is no workaround.
In old BIOS mode, Windows 8/8.1 will not detect your GPT hard drives or partitions correctly. No booting, no Refresh Your PC or Reset Your PC until "UEFI only" is set. Credits go to Sol for confirming this issue.
You can easily verify whether UEFI works correctly by opening Troubleshoot and Advanced Options in Windows 8/8.1 Advanced Startup screen. If "UEFI only" is set, you'll see the UEFI Firmware Settings option listed. Thanks Sol for providing the screenshot:
- "The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again" errors while refreshing or resetting Windows 8 or 8.1 installation. In some cases, Windows forgets the proper drive/partition order and tries to load files from a wrong one. Again, power off your computer and remove power cord. Then disconnect cables from all hard drives except the one where Windows 8 or 8.1 resides, connect power cord and see if boot process completes properly now.
Or, if Windows still works somewhat, try upgrading storage drivers and software using Intel's Driver Update Utility (Internet Explorer installs ActiveX control, other browsers require Java) or find the driver software from AMD's site. This often solves all problems.
- Unable to update firmware or drivers after push-button reset of Windows 8.1 device. This is because new value for driver or firmware dependency in Windows 8.1 cannot be handled correctly. Download and apply the patch listed in Microsoft support article KB 2913760. Windows 8.1RT users can install it using Windows Update only.
Options to try before using Recovery Environment in Windows 8 and 8.1
- Always boot to Safe Mode at least once - this often repairs corrupted file system and essential system files.
- If Windows is able to boot, use System File Checker and icacls.exe to repair corrupted system files.
- While Windows is running, use free WhoCrashed for determining BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) causes.
Reliability Monitor might also reveal faulty drivers or software.
- Use Windows Update troubleshooter if your PC is unable to apply updates, or offers them repeatedly.
- In case of Windows Store apps (aka Metro UI or Modern UI apps) failing to run or update, being unstable or requiring constant repairs, clear Windows Store cache: open Start screen, type wsreset and click the result. Next, repeat the process, but right-click (or tap and hold on touch-screens) the result and choose Run as administrator.
- Use DISM (Deployment Imaging and Servicing Management) tool to fix Windows Component Store corruption as instructed in the System Image Backup in Windows 8.1 tutorial - this often resolves a multitude of problems.
In case DISM RestoreHealth command fails with error 0x800f081f, then Non-destructive reinstall of Windows 8 or 8.1 is about the only option that fixes it.
Prerequisites of Windows 8 and 8.1 Recovery Environment
If Windows 8 or 8.1 is able to start and run, you can reboot right into Recovery Environment or use the Refresh and Reset your PC options.
To access Repair your computer/Recovery Environment (aka Limited Diagnostic State), you must have either Windows 8/8.1 installation DVD or Windows 8/8.1 Recovery Drive (USB) or System Repair Disc (CD/DVD) available in case Windows is unable to start.
To put Windows 8 or 8.1 installation media onto a bootable USB drive instead, see the Create bootable Windows installation media on a USB stick guide on our sister site, www.winhelp.info. The tutorial also shows how you can download and create proper Windows 8/8.1 DVD from Microsoft if you only have product key.
If you do not have the Windows installation DVD (e.g. Windows came pre-installed) or Recovery Drive/System Repair Disc, see the instructions on creating a bootable Windows 8 or 8.1 installation media (DVD or USB).
Warning: do not use Windows 8/8.1 media for repairing Windows XP, Vista or 7 installations, or vice versa! You can only use the Command Prompt option for fixing file system errors in older Windows installations.
If you can borrow a correct Windows 8 or 8.1 installation DVD from a friend, make sure you get the right version: you can only use 32-bit (x86) Windows disc for repairing 32-bit Windows installations and 64-bit (x64) Windows disc for fixing 64-bit Windows installations!
Because Windows 8 and 8.1 Recovery Environment does not include RAM testing module, you should use Memtest86+ for checking if your computer's memory modules are fine. Please do this before using tools provided in Recovery Environment - there is no point in repairing Windows if defective memory will ruin it again soon.
The last resort is to use my Data Recovery CD/USB for fixing errors on disk or repairing Master Boot Records (MBR), but other options of Repair Your Computer are unavailable. You can also use the CD/USB for recovering your files from the unbootable hard drive in case nothing else helps.
Getting into Recovery Environment in Windows 8 and 8.1 without installation media
In Windows 8 and 8.1, the good old F8 key trick for getting into Advanced Boot Options does not work anymore (but it can still be enabled manually). If Windows is unable to start, you can get into new Startup Settings after Windows detects it was unable to start - click See advanced repair options in Recovery screen, or after Automatic Repair fails - click Advanced options.
If Windows 8 or 8.1 is able to start and run, open Settings charm using keyboard shortcut Windows Key+I. The fastest way is to click Power and then hold down Shift key while clicking Restart. This will reboot into Windows 8/8.1 Advanced Startup screen.
The longer way is to click Change PC settings in the bottom.
In Windows 8, click to open General tab of PC settings app, scroll all the way down to Advanced startup section and click Restart now.
In Windows 8.1, open Update & Recovery tab on the bottom left and then click Recovery tab. Click Restart now in the Advanced startup section.
This is how Windows 8/8.1 Advanced startup screen looks like.
Click Troubleshooting in Choose an option screen.
Booting to Recovery Environment with Windows 8/8.1 installation media or Recovery Drive/System Repair Disc
If your computer does not start from CD/DVD or USB drive, read about changing boot order.
After you boot your PC using Windows DVD or System Repair Disc, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press some key on your keyboard (Space and Enter are the most common ones ) within 5 seconds to launch Windows from the disc.
This screen will not appear while booting from USB Recovery Drive.
Windows will then load some files from the disc or drive, this takes some time.
In case you booted from Windows 8/8.1 Recovery Drive or System Repair Disc, Choose your keyboard layout screen appears. Click your keyboard layout, or if one is not visible, click the See more keyboard layouts link until you see the correct layout.
If using Windows 8 or 8.1 installation DVD, Windows Setup dialog appears. Select your preferred settings from Time and currency format and Keyboard or input method combo boxes. I suggest you leave Language to install to "English" here to better understand this article.
Click Next to continue.
Windows installation media users will then see a big tempting Install now button. Do not click it! Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner instead.
Choose an option screen then appears. Click Troubleshoot.
Let's see an overview of the tools next.
Troubleshooting steps to take in Windows 8 and 8.1 Recovery Environment
Please note that if you are using a wrong media here - e.g. Windows 7 installation DVD on Windows 8 PC, or 32-bit version of Recovery Drive/System Repair Disc on 64-bit Windows - you can use the Command Prompt option only. While the other options are not disabled in the list, using these end with error messages and might damage your broken Windows installation even more.
Step 1 - Automatic Repair in Windows 8 and 8.1
Unless you started Windows 8/8.1 Recovery Environment from a failed Automatic Repair attempt, the very first option to try in case Windows is unable to boot is the Automatic Repair that will check the condition of your hard disk and see if files needed to launch Windows are present. The process takes several minutes to half an hour.
To access the option, click Advanced options in Troubleshoot screen.
In the Advanced Options screen, click Automatic Repair.
Next, choose a target operating system by clicking on its button. In most cases, you should have only one Windows 8 or 8.1 installation visible.
Windows will then look for problems on hard drive(s) and verify that all required files are intact. This might easily take 10 or more minutes. Please stand by.
In case Automatic Repair was unable to fix problems, click Advanced options to access other recovery tools.
If repairs were successful, restart your computer.
Step 1.1 (optional) - use Command Prompt for fixing disk errors, restoring missing system files or preventing Automatic Repair from launching
If you do not have the correct Windows 8/8.1 installation or Recovery Drive/System Repair media, but you still need to check for and fix errors on disks, click Command Prompt in the Advanced Options screen.
A black Command Prompt window opens on drive with letter X. It is a special temporary disk created entirely in the Random Access Memory (RAM) of your PC. No hard disk space is used for this drive.
First, we need to locate the drive where Windows is installed. Most probably this is a drive with letter C, D, E or F.
Type echo list volume | diskpart and press Enter. This will display all drives available.
Ignore all volumes that have CD-ROM for Type.
The volume that has "System Rese" (part of "System Reserved") written in Label column, can also be ignored - this is the recovery partition. Such partitions are usually small in size - about 350 megabytes. Not all computers have the recovery partition.
So, in the example above, the Windows 8 partition has drive letter D (note the Ltr column). You can also use the Size column for verifying that you have located the correct one.
Now type chkdsk <the drive letter>: /F /X and press Enter. Replace <the drive letter> with the letter of drive where Windows is installed (or the drive that has files badly messed up), for example chkdsk d: /F /X or chkdsk c: /F /X.
This command will find and repair errors on the partition/volume (the /F switch) and if required, unmount it first (the /X switch).
If you want to run a full disk check with recovering data from unreadable clusters, use the chkdsk <the drive letter>: /R /X command instead. Note that the exhaustive test might take several hours to complete.
The process might take quite a while (up to an hour). After it is completed, verify that there is a line stating "Windows has checked the file system and found no problems" in the report. If there were errors on the volume, repeat the last command until the no problems message appears.
Ignore any failure messages about event log.
If there were errors detected and repaired, close Command Prompt by clicking the X mark on the top right. Click Continue in the Choose an option screen to try starting Windows normally and see if the problem has been solved.
If no disk errors were found, read on.
You can also try restoring missing system files using the SFC (System File Checker) tool. This is useful in cases where Windows boots up, but all you see is black screen with mouse pointer and keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing.
Type sfc /scannow and press Enter. Let the scan finish, it will take about half an hour.
If you see the error message "There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run sfc again.", use alternative command sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=D:\Windows\ (replace D:\Windows\ with the correct drive letter or folder name if required).
If your Windows 8 or 8.1 PC is stuck in Automatic Repair loop, try disabling the feature via Command Prompt. Type bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled NO and press Enter Key. If the message reads "The operation completed successfully", then Automatic Repair will not appear until you re-enable it with the bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled YES command in an elevated Command Prompt.
Close Command Prompt window and and click Continue to see if this helped to get your Windows 8 or 8.1 PC running correctly again.
Step 1.2 (optional) - temporarily enable the F8 key for getting into Advanced Boot Options menu at computer startup
Because Windows 8 and 8.1 have no support for F8 key by default, you might be unable to get into Safe Mode or Low-resolution video mode for troubleshooting unless Windows starts properly. Somehow Microsoft couldn't foresee this vicious circle happening to many users.
Luckily, you can enable the good old trick in the Command Prompt window described in Step 1.1 above. Please note that legacy boot options should not be turned on forever because they can cause trouble on UEFI systems. This is just a temporary workaround.
In the black Command Prompt window, type bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy and press Enter key. You should see "The operation completed successfully" message after this.
Close Command Prompt window and restart your computer. Pressing F8 key repeatedly before Windows 8 or 8.1 starts loading should now bring up the older Advanced Boot Options menu.
To revert to the newer Modern UI version of troubleshooting tools, open elevated Command Prompt while Windows is running (use Window Key+X to open Quick Links menu and click Command Prompt (Admin)). You can also boot from Windows installation media or System Repair Disc/Recovery Drive and open Command Prompt in Recovery Environment.
Type bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard and press Enter key.
Close the Command Prompt window and reboot your PC. Now your computer uses the Modern UI boot options again.
Step 2 - System Restore
The next step is to try System Restore from Advanced Options screen. This works only while using the correct Windows installation or System Repair Disc. Using Windows 7 media on Windows 8/8.1 installation (or vice versa) ends with an error message about no available Restore Points.
System Restore will literally turn back time for your PC: while your documents and files will always remain intact, all programs or drivers installed after the selected Restore Point might disappear and must be reinstalled. Also, if you changed your Local Account password recently, it might be reverted to the previous one by the selected Restore Point.
Please note that this System Restore cannot be undone (but you can still restore another Restore Point later).
Read detailed instructions on using System Restore in this article.

I have to eat and relax a bit before the full postmortem, so I'm just going to do a quick recap here for you guys to continue the conversation.
This was a very good win for the Kentucky Wildcats, as the Tennessee Volunteers came in ready to take this basketball game at almost any cost. They were excessively physical and very intense, and I thought Kentucky was unprepared for either eventuality. The result was an ugly foul-fest that will never be remembered except as a game that Kentucky won.
Give credit to the Vols, they came in with bad intentions. It was inelegant to say the very least, but they leveraged Jordan McRae in every possible way, and wound up fouling out Archie Goodwin trying to defend him. It was a rough, tough brawl, and that is probably just what John Callipari was hoping for.
I'll have a lot more on this, but as far as the game ball goes, It could go either way between Kyle Wiltjer and Nerlens Noel. You'll have my pick in a little while.
Talk about it. I'll be back with a postmortem in an hour or so.
Go, 'Cats!

Checking in was very quick. Our room was ready. Luggage arrived late afternoon.
The staff was wonderful. The service was great. The food, both in the dining room and in the Windjammer was fair. I would rate it 6 on a scale of 1-10.
The shows were good. The choreography was excellent.
The bars serve a heck of a drink. I thought the prices were reasonable.
The room was like being in a pop top camper. We booked an inside cabin. The bed was nearly on the floor and very hard, although I must say, I slept very well. The bathroom was small but adequate. I would definately recommend booking a larger room.
The ship is one of the oldest in the fleet. However, it's clean and well maintained. There aren't enough elevators. Trying to get from deck to deck is impossible and extremely frustrating.
Lastly, disembarking was exasperating. We waited nearly an hour to get off the ship. It took another half hour to locate our bags, and the line going through customs wasn't moving. To make matters worse, one of the customs officers left, slowing the process further.
The overall experience was good. Given the number of people, the staff was excellent. We had fun and booked another cruise while on board.

Guest Star: SOHH Summer BLOCKBusters: "I Had A Recording Studio In The Back Of My Bus"
Monday, Jun 13, 2011 12:15AM
[In anticipation of the upcoming summer blockbusters, SOHH asks a few hip-hop stars to discuss topics related to the much flicks headed to a theater near you. To highlight the June 29th release of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, DJ Kid Capri talks about transforming his tour buses into a hot spot for his Bronx, NY community.]
When it comes to cars, I only have had about seven or eight of them in my life. I'm not the type of dude that could dress a car up with a whole bunch of things. I liked having a car that could speak for itself.
I own two tour buses. I bought my first bus and then later on got my 45-foot bus. I was always on my bus. I wasn't even driving my cars back in the day.
I still remember going back and buying my buses. I remember the people I went and got them from, they thought I was some little kid or young dude bugging out because nobody buys buses. You really have to be on the road consistently to have a bus. A lot of artists would have an album out for a certain amount of time, have it out for a few months, and then they'd bring the [tour] buses back. A lot of artists would rent the bus and bring it back.
When I went to go get mine, the guy I got it from thought it was abnormal for someone to buy a bus. [The salesman] thought it was a joke and it was going to amuse me. And then, when I went back to buy my second bus, that's when he wanted to offer me a million dollars for my record label. It got to that point. Once we built that trust up, a lot of artists came up to me like Timbaland, Busta Rhymes, Def Jam, they all came to me ask me about buying buses. So I would put everybody through the guy who sold me mine.
But the reason why I had got the buses in the first place is because I was doing five, six shows a week [while traveling via] nine planes. Going here and there. And at the time, I had 15 crates of records going all over the world. So it got to be a little bit too much. But the buses worked out.
My second album came out when I got my first bus and we went around the country and made enough money for me to go out and buy a bigger one. I had that for the next two to three years. Later, I started spending a lot of money on the maintenance and had to finally get rid of it.
I had a recording studio in the back of my bus. And I even had my bedroom back there too. I had the Playstation in there. I would always bring people out on the road with me. I always had my main people but sometimes I would go back to the block and bring people that weren't really doing anything or had a job to bring them on the road and get them work. Some people had a lot of fun and would go off on the road chasing girls, so I had to settle them down, but they really appreciated the position.
I really got to show people a lot of things. I always made sure to go back to the hood and get people to bring back on the bus. We'd get on there and really roll out. I always had fun doing it. It's a good thing to know when you have that freedom to be able to do anything that you want to do. It was great knowing that you're good at what you're doing and working hard at it.
DJ Kid Capri was born David Anthony Love in the Bronx, NY. He began scratching records as early as age eight, and was already an accomplished turntablist by his teens, later spinning records at the famed nightclub Studio 54 and earning a grass-roots following by selling mix tapes of his nightly sets. As his reputation grew, Kid Capri eventually signed to Warner Bros., where he produced sessions for everyone from Heavy D to Boogie Down Productions to Quincy Jones; he also spent seven seasons as the DJ for cable's Russell Simmons' Def Comedy Jam. Capri's first official solo release, The Tape, appeared in 1991; the all-star Soundtrack to the Streets followed seven years later.

After an emotional overtime loss, it can be an understandably difficult task for fans to look at the team's performance objectively. Don't fret, Jaguars fans, that's what I'm here for!
Here are my thoughts and analysis on the wide receivers and tight ends in week one against the Vikings:
The Good
- The offense as a whole - The tempo, play-calling and even the formations were all noticeably improved from last year. The emphasis of installing a more pass-oriented offense was evident from the outset. It's easy to see the vision coach Mularkey has for the offensive unit, and our fan base should be anxious to see the improvement that is sure to follow as the team gains experience playing together.
- Cecil Shorts III – The 2nd year wideout from Mount Union University had garnered what most can now agree were unrealistically high expectations for a then rookie 4th round draft pick wide receiver paired with a rookie quarterback. He was only able to manage 2 receptions for 30 yards in his rookie campaign. He doubled his output in one game today, grabbing 4 catches for 74 yards and what was thought to be the game winning, 39 yard touchdown catch on a spectacular diving twisting catch with just 20 seconds remaining in the game. If he can consistently produce as he did today, the Jags receiving corps will be looked at as one of the deeper units in the league.
- Mercedes Lewis – The disappointment of last year's performance by the Pro Bowler has tempered the expectations to a point where he's become grossly undervalued. When Lewis is motivated, he is easily one of the 10 best tight ends in the NFL today. The 5 catches, 52 yards and a red zone touchdown were encouraging signs that he will be an integral part of Mike Mularkey's tight end friendly offense.
The Bad
- Dropped passes – the receivers didn't do Blaine any favors in Minneapolis, dropping 5 passes, one of which was on the critical overtime drive on a slant pass by the newly-acquired Laurent Robinson. Dropped balls are drive-killers, and there will no doubt be an emphasis this week in practice on holding on to the ball.
- Justin Blackmon – Although there were no glaring drops by the much-hyped rookie wide receiver, there wasn't the expected game-breaking impact that was shown all preseason. There were a more than a few plays where Blackmon looked lost, and a poorly run route in overtime allowed the defense to knock down an out route thrown navy Gabbert. He will no doubt improve, but at this point in his development, Justin is much more comfortable after the catch than before it.

If nothing else, Dirk Nowitzki has options should the NBA lockout continue. With the threat of a work-stoppage stretching into the 2011 season, many NBA stars are contemplating overseas offers, and Nowitzki appears to be no different. Already in demand in Europe, Nowitzki is now reportedly drawing interest from China, with a hefty dollar figure floated for his services.
According to a report on Tuesday morning, Nowitzki may have $1.5 million reasons to head to China during the NBA lockout.
Bayern Munich reportedly has had interest as would plenty of teams.
But could he turn down $1.5 million per month?
That is what the Zhejiang Lions of the Chinese Basketball Association are reportedly offering him, according to the German publication Bild (via Hoopshype).
However, as noted earlier, the Chinese Basketball Association could block all NBA lockout rentals. Additionally, as Pro Basketball Talk notes, Nowitzki marches to the beat of his own drum, forgoing high-dollar sponsorships and lucrative endorsement deals, making an NBA lockout adventure in Germany, his native country, more realistic should the work-stoppage continue.

Customizing Joomla 2.5 Atomic Template
I want to customize the Joomla 2.5 Atomic template as per design. But, as I learned that the customizations will be lost once I update Joomla. I don't want that to happen because I will be doing a lot of customizations and redoing that won't be a good idea after each updation.
I want my customized template to be intact even after Joomla updation.
So, can any one throw some light on how to achieve it?

I'm not sure if this is the only solution but one thing that you could try is to save a copy of the template file (which is usually found at templates/atomic). After you have updated Joomla, you can try replacing the updated atomic theme with the copy. Again I don't know if this will work as updates applied to the new version of a theme will not carry over and the copy may not work.
Maybe you can find an answer here,
Hope that helps,
