text: It is at ground level, in the public spaces, that van der Rohe's sense of architectural order remains unqualified and supreme. ... The fact that 375 is set back from Park Avenue some ninety feet not merely makes it visible but makes it approachable, and the open plaza in front, plus the arbored green rectangles at the sides, gives the same satisfaction that the building itself does. This plaza is open without being formidable; the absence of any kind of ornament, except the tall bronze flagpole, seventy-five feet high, slightly to the right of the main entrance, and the fountains and rectangular, step-rimmed pools of water on either side, only emphasizes the quality of the space itself. [78]Russell Lynes, inimitable commentator on American taste and manners, said that the Seagram building "is an architectural ornament to the city [and] has also provided the city with a small pleasant square of open space which every lunch hour in good weather is crowded with New Yorkers hungry for a bit of open space in which to sun themselves."

What's the best thing about the job?

The third reason I love my job is being able to offer a product that provides one of the healthiest proteins you can find on the market.

Southampton bucking youth unemployment trend in UK
7:00pm Tuesday 8th April 2014 in News © Press Association
SOUTHAMPTON is bucking the trend when it comes to youth unemployment, according to a new report.
A study by the Work Foundation has revealed that unemployment among 16 to 24-year-olds in Southampton is below 13 per cent - compared to more than 25 per cent in many other cities across the UK.
The average is almost one in five across the country, but the problem is so "endemic" that even those cities with the lowest rates of around 13 per cent are still a third higher than the national average in Germany (8.6 per cent) and well above cities such as Hamburg (five per cent), said the research group.
A number of youth unemployment "blackspots" were identified with jobless rates above 25 per cent, including Middlesbrough, Barnsley, Glasgow, Grimsby, Coventry, Bradford and Hull.
But in other cities, the youth unemployment rate was 13 per cent or lower, including Southampton, York, Reading, Cambridge and Aberdeen.
The Work Foundation said youngsters leaving school with only GCSEs were more than twice as likely to be unemployed as those with better qualifications.
The report called for action to improve apprenticeships, more work experience placements and batter careers advice.
Lizzie Crowley of the Work Foundation said: "The UK's youth unemployment crisis continues to affect almost a million young people, even in the recovery.
"It is shocking that in some cities almost a third of young people are looking for work but are unable to find it.
"Urgent action is needed to ensure young people get the right support to either continue in school, further training or with getting a job.
"Central government's top-down attempts to tackle the crisis have failed. Local government must now be tasked with setting up youth transition partnerships to bring together schools, colleges, third sector organisations and local businesses to develop tailored policy responses suitable for each city."

NEW YORK (AP) -- Airlines stocks fell on Tuesday as fuel prices rose, suggesting that investors may be nervous that recent fare increases may not be enough.
Shares of some of the big airlines fell 10 percent or more, although they recovered slightly on Tuesday afternoon.
Jet fuel is the single biggest expense for most airlines. As of last week it had risen 12 percent over the past year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Oil prices rose further on Tuesday, up $2.65 to $106.25 per barrel in New York. That's its highest price since May 4.
Over the past couple of years, airlines have been quick to raise fares to pay for that more expensive fuel, even if those higher fares force some potential travelers to stay home. Most of the big airlines are flying the same amount this year, or shrinking slightly. American Airlines is pruning more aggressively as it reorganizes under bankruptcy protection.
"The stocks are just going to move with oil, it's as simple as that," said Helane Becker, an airline analyst with Dahlman Rose & Co. "No matter what the airlines do to tell people it's changed and they manage their business differently. They've proven the model, right? They've proven that they'll take capacity out, and they'll raise ticket prices, and they made money last year. It doesn't matter. The stock's still soft."
US Airways Group Inc. fell $1.01 to close at $7.89. The 11.4 percent price decline was the biggest in percentage terms among airlines. Unlike its larger competitors such as United and Delta, US Airways doesn't hedge its fuel purchases. Hedges are financial bets on something similar to jet fuel, such as heating oil. That way, if oil prices rise, the airline makes money on the hedge, offsetting some of what it's losing on higher fuel prices.
United Continental Holdings Inc. fell $2.13, or 9.1 percent, to close at $21.24. Delta Air Lines Inc. fell 78 cents, or 7.2 percent, to close at $10.05.
Last week Alaska Airlines last week said it now expects to pay $3.38 per gallon for jet fuel in the first quarter, up from its previous estimate of $3.31. Alaska parent Alaska Air Group Inc. fell $3.91, or 5.1 percent, to close at $72.47.

I have been looking for crystal lamps for my master bedroom for quite some time. I planned on buying a pair from a famous home decorating store. but even on sale, the pair of lamps would have cost over $600, and I just couldn't bring myself to spend that much. I clicked onto the Overstock.com site on the chance that I might find a pair of suitable lamps, and boy am I glad I did! The lamps arrived today and they are beautiful! I was nervous that at less than 1/3 the price of the famous store's lamps, these might not be of a very high quality. I was happy to find that these lamps are just as well made as the higher priced lamps that I have been looking at. The lamps' crystal components and chrome accents are flawless, and they are well proportioned and impressively heavy. The shade is a striking taupe beige that complements my room decor perfectly. The crystal and chrome finials are a perfect finishing touch.The lamps arrived very quickly after I placed my order, and they arrived in perfect condition. I would very highly recommend these lamps to anyone who wants the sparkling beauty of crystal lamps in their home, but doesn't want to pay the high price that most stores charge for these stunners.
I bought 2 of these for my bedroom. They are beautiful. The same lamps in my local lighting store were 350.00 each. What a savings on overstock.com. I can't say enough about them. They are elegant.
Well made product and everyone wants to know where I found it and what did I pay! Would blend well in any deco. I would say this lamp tends to be modern in style, but I mixed it tradtional and it really blended well and added some interest to my sun room. Shade is a little darker than a traditional beige shade and is still neutral, yet gives the lamp a very expensive look! I'd compare it to a heavy Waterford lamp I also own.
These lamps are $300+ on lighting websites. These lamps are huge and HEAVY. You must put these on a big table...perfect because my night stands are the large mini-dresser type. I love the linen texture of the shade, although I did exchange the grey that I originally bought. It had a bit of a bluish/periwinkle hue.
The shade is not my favorite, but this is a heavy crystal lamp. Makes a statement in your room. Note: I didn't notice in the online photo that the bottom of the column has a silver metal band. I thought it was all glass. That is not true. Also, you see a lot of silver with the wire tube inside the lamp and the harp and finial. Not bad things. Just unexpected.
These lamps were a bit pricey for me but I bucked up because the reviews were so great. These lamps are amazing, beautiful quality, very heavy, wonderful lamps shades, great detailing. They look very expensive. I had an issue with cracks in the first shipment but Overstock's customer service was outstanding and I had a new pair on my doorstep in 2 days! I would recommend these, they are modern but traditional looking! If you are hesitating - don't! Treat yourself!
I was surprised at the weight of these lamps (2) for our bedside table: quite heavy and substantial. No knocking these lamps over accidentally. I have not seen this quality in any stores locally and glass styles are really popular right now. They are gorgeous and exactly what I was looking for. We have dark wood furniture in there and they look great with that. The shades are a nice light brown, sort of a burlap look and feel. Very neutral, I thought. I am very happy with these and everyone who sees them comments on how striking they are. Highly recommended!
The beautiful crystal lamp is a great addition to my entry. The column/body is HEAVY, clear and flawless. The elegant lamp shade is a soft tan. There are minor imperfections with the way the trim around the shade was applied. Overall, it was worth the investment.
Lamp is beautiful, but I ordered two and the shades were different creams. Since they were going in the same room - his wasn't ideal.
Ordered and rec'd 2 lamps. Very pleased with the quality of lamps. They look great on my glass top end tables.I always read reviews before ordering.

its simple. (Comments partially removed by Pleasanton Weekly Online staff as innuendo, hearsay or specific accusatory information unsupported by facts.) we have yet to find out.
on Feb 14, 2009 at 5:30 pm
Can you say "meth lab" explosion.
on Feb 16, 2009 at 10:08 am
It absolutely was not a meth lab explosion. If it was, the area would have been sealed off and cleaned up by a hazmat crew. It also makes no sense to cook meth in a million-dollar house in a nice neighborhood, not to mention that many neighbors have visited the family and there was nothing weird going on there - the only unusual thing was their race cars.
That said, I really hope the Weekly continues to report on this story, and be a little biut more curious and aggressive in reporting - why not interview involved parties, do a little investigation into the financial issues, the bankruptcy and foreclosure, etc. Instead, the Weekly seems to just rely on pronouncements from official sources. That's very lazy reporting. It seems like the Weekly wants to be a cozy small-town paper instead of doing quality journalism. Take a look at the SF Weekly, East Bay Express, etc., and their investigative features. The Weekly has the potential to be a great paper, but needs to be more aggressive in reporting.
on Feb 16, 2009 at 10:26 am
It's true that if it had been a meth lab, a very serious hazmat crew would have been at work. However, what we don't realize is that these methlabs do exist in some multi-million dollar houses. Blackhawk had an instance in one of their mega homes in a nice neighborhood. It was felt that the lack of news coverage was about clout and not ruining the reputations in that area.
One can't judge a book by the cover.

I don't know what the police hope to gain from interviewing Deonna. (Comments partially removed by Pleasanton Weekly Online staff as innuendo, hearsay or specific accusatory information unsupported by facts.)

Have you forgotten when a house in Castlewood was sublet and turned into a meth lab. The same house where a man barricaded himself in the crawl space a few years ago. So ya meth labs do happen in nice areas.

I check in from time to time in hopes of hearing some good news regarding De's recovery. Every time I do check this site I see the crap that people like yourself have to "throw out there" and I wish I hadn't bothered.
on Feb 18, 2009 at 10:45 am
I said nothing about De, I was talking about the fact that the price of a house does not exclude it from being a meth lab.
on Mar 4, 2009 at 8:21 am
What is going on with this investigation????? Why the delay in releasing details, things must be clear by now.
Has there been any word on the condition of Mrs. Zuffa? With all of the suspicious content on here, I would really like to hear her take on the whole thing.
on Mar 6, 2009 at 4:03 pm
can we get an update on this case? hopefully it wont just be forgotten..
on Mar 10, 2009 at 12:08 am
I have to drive by the house everyday, and often wonder what the heck is going on with this case???? Pleasanton weekly posted the story as well as updates, it would be great if they could keep us informed... This will not go unforgotten!
on Mar 13, 2009 at 10:53 am
Okay, it has been a month since the story was posted that said the investigation was winding down and we should know the results. Are they not releasing the information or will we ever be told who caused the fire? The residents want to know.
Many stories are published when they happen and we never find out the cause, I remember the motor cycle accident in Livermore where a man was killed. There was a truck driven by a teenager who was vilified by bloggers. The police or the news have never released the results of the investigation and that was ~Oct '08.
Pleasanton Weekly, please don't let this story fade away as many others have.
on Mar 17, 2009 at 6:32 pm
PLEASE GIVE AN UPDATE ON THIS CASE!its been a couple weeks and we still haven't gotten any information on how this happened!! Like other bloggers and residents desperate to know what happened, I think that our community should be informed. DON'T let this be forgotten.
on Apr 8, 2009 at 5:37 am
Appears the PW has failed to follow through.. Again..
on Apr 8, 2009 at 10:47 am
Other than salacious curiosity, what business is it of anyone's, except the family involved?
Oh wait, maybe it's compassion from this "community of character"!. Sure! That must be it!
on Apr 8, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Disappointed, there is an updated story on our main web page at www.pleasantonweekly.com on the fire investigation. It's been classified as an arson, but police are saying little else.
on Nov 6, 2009 at 10:35 am
Anything new on this? It seems so secretive.

A meeting was held on Monday night to discuss a huge development planned south of Nashville in Williamson County. During the meeting, commissioners voted and approved to rezone the property from commercial space to commercial town center space.
The Streets of Brentwood would be built near Maryland Way and Franklin Road in Brentwood on the former Murray Ohio headquarters property and land where the current Tennessee Baptist Convention Center sits. The 17 acre, 970,000 square foot town center would include offices, residential living spaces, retail shops, restaurants, a theatre and parking spots for more than 2,700 vehicles. Residents previously voiced their concerns regarding the development at a community meeting late last month. "I don't know that we'll be able to leave our homes at Noon or 5 p.m. or early in the morning because of the traffic. The traffic is horrendous," resident Janice Duks previously told Nashville's News 2.
A community meeting will be held in upcoming weeks to discuss the project. For more information on the project visit StreetsOfBrentwoodTN.com.

It was fitting Friday night that an enthusiastic Wheaton Academy student section came appropriately dressed in warm weather wear for Beach Night.
That's because the host Warriors came out feelin' hot, hot, hot and made eight straight shots – four of them 3-pointers from four different players – to open their Suburban Christian Conference Blue game with visiting Aurora Central. They burned the Chargers 54-25.
"We moved the ball around really well. We love playing against zones because we've got some guys who can shoot," said 6-foot-8 junior post Gordon Behr, who led the winners with 16 points. "I don't think we missed there for awhile."
Wheaton Academy didn't miss a shot until Behr's mid-range jumper with 2:35 remaining in the quarter clanged off the rim. By that time, though, the hosts led 22-5 and the Chargers were well on their way to seven first-quarter turnovers, which matched their first period score (25-7).
"Essentially, we were really bad tonight and they were really good," said ACC Coach Nate Drye, who doesn't have anyone named Murphy on his roster but could have used one this night. Everything that could go wrong for the Chargers did.
While the Warriors were hitting 7 of 11 from beyond the arc in the first half and building a 39-15 lead, ACC shooters were going 1 of 10 on 3-pointers.
"They made their shots and we didn't run our offense, we just came down and shot the first three we could," said Drye. "They're good shooters, but it helps when you don't get a hand up in anybody's face. They got open looks because we weren't moving our feet."
Collin Roy had 10 points and Gabe Partain eight for the Warriors, who are 14-5 overall and 6-1 in the league. Brandon Ruggles had nine rebounds to lead the winners.
ACC, 9-9 and 3-4, got six points from reserve Jacob May.
"It's just a bad game, I'm not gonna blow it out of proportion," said Drye. "We'll bounce back tomorrow."

Reviews for
Incredible Journey : Library Edition
AudioFile Reviews 1998 January
No matter how often one hears the tale or in what form one experiences it, The Incredible Journey seems beyond all human knowledge of reality. This adventure, with its anthropomorphic characters, has long been a favorite of all ages. Here the drama receives a finely tuned performance. Follows reads clearly and expertly. Where the book shows a tendency toward overwritten atmospheric descriptions, her voice indicates emotion without stress and excitement without bathos. Her vocal momentum lets her audience quicken to the perils of the three pets. Nothing is added. No theatrical frills are allowed to interfere with the mute but poignant efforts of the animals in their passage. S.B.S. Copyright 1999 AudioFile Reviews

CRAWFORDSVILLE — Behind Zac Butler's 213 rushing yards, Cascade marched to its first season-opening victory since 2006, Derek Moyers's last season at the helm.
Cascade withstood a furious rally by Crawfordsville for a 38-26 victory Friday night, as the two teams accounted for 63 points in the second half.
The Cadets capitalized on the Athenians' third fumble of the game, and Butler completed the 29-yard drive, fighting for the last three yards for the game's final score.
"It's unreal," Cascade coach Jason Thompson said of the program's first Week 1 win in seven years. "It says a lot about these kids and how hard they've worked. In the offseason, the attendance was fantastic."
Cascade got on the board first with a 77-yard drive that took just two minutes. Quarterback Sawyer Donovan, after a fake, handed to Butler, who broke free over the right side of the line anchored by Nick Evans and Lukas Stoutenour, and outran the defense for a 43-yard touchdown.
Cascade emphatically concluded its subsequent defensive possession by forcing a turnover on downs, as Stoutenour sacked quarterback Travis Harris with just under two minutes left in the first quarter.
Butler's touchdown was the only score of the first half. Thompson said his team missed some offensive opportunities in the opening 24 minutes, but that defensively, the Cadets were stout.
"We proved in the first half they couldn't move the ball on us," Thompson said.
The offenses exploded in the second half. Crawfordsville clawed to within five points late in the fourth quarter, but fumbled deep in its territory, and Cascade pounced on it.
As a team, Cascade rushed for 278 yards, and Butler praised his offensive line.
"(They) did amazing," Butler said. "They just blocked up front. They got everybody. We did what we were supposed to do (and) executed. We've got an all-senior line. We're going to be pretty tough this year, I think."

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Start by climbing over, squeezing around, or otherwise surpassing the tree at the start, and climb up a dirty dihedral to the overhang. The crux comes with a traverse to the right following beneath the overhang. Top out at a three bolt anchor.
From the Middlefork trail, pass several routes on the Lower Lunchbox, then take the steep descent trail up and stay to the right and arrive at the Upper Lunchbox. Look for the obvious tree growing out of the wall, route starts there and follows the overhang right. Three bolt anchor at the top.
Lead: Small/medium gear, slings. A few tricky placements, but it's very protectable.

Council approves draft rezoning plan for 105 acres of new 'affordable' housing

I don't understand why the government has to impose a certain percentage or number of units of low cost housing in each city! And why does it seem like such a huge number of units to fit 105 acres? This will cause so much traffic congestion in our streets and the traffic on our freeways will get even worse. Why don't they impose these rules elswhere where there isn't that high a population and traffic? On top of that, most of these units will be apartments or units for rent and most likely when a person does not own their own home, they don't care for their property as much as someone who had to pay big bucks for it. I don't like this idea at all.

They know better than you. It is for your own good. The old Pleasanton that we all enjoyed and moved here for is actually bad for your health, didn't you know?
on Jul 20, 2011 at 8:51 am
"most likely when a person does not own their own home, they don't care for their property as much as someone who had to pay big bucks for it."
That is why we need more government programs like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the FHA. The biggest obstacle for some people to buy homes is the down-payment requirement. We need to look in to government programs to eliminate that so that more people can be home owners. The other obstacle is the income requirement. We need the government to come up with creative loans that get around the income requirement. Home-ownership needs to be seen more as a right than a privilege.

Bargaining the Brimfield Way
Behind The Scenes at Brimfield, The Largest Outdoor Antiques and Collectibles Market in the United States
Melissa Milgrom
From the Print Edition:
Claudia Schiffer, Jul/Aug 97
(continued from page 4)
"I hate to pick on doctors or lawyers, but I doubt very much that a doctor or a lawyer would let a plumber into their club. Do you understand? There could be a guy here dealing with a $50,000 oil painting, and a guy next to him could be dealing in Art Deco or low-end stuff, and they can have some type of relationship or have something in common to talk about. So, it's funny that you can get 8,000 people together with really diverse backgrounds and not have total mayhem. For some reason it seems to work. They may have a petty argument with each other. But under those conditions you'd expect more."
Despite efforts by the now defunct Brimfield Promoters Association, the thrice yearly events lack a central organizer and each show's promoter enforces his own rules and hires his own security. This may seem odd in a town of 3,000 that attracts mobs of fervid scavengers. Surely, some regulation is needed to handle the traffic jams, not to mention public safety concerns.
By 1985, Brimfield had become a two-week-long event. Problems emerged. Disgruntled locals could not drive home on Route 20, which was clogged with trucks, cars, RVs and tourists. The school bus was always late to school. Security was another crucial consideration. The field owners are responsible for hiring additional security and police, but just how many officers should be hired is difficult to assess, because attendance is hard to gauge. The town of Brimfield coordinates security; however, the show promoters foot the bill. Each show contributes a portion of the security bill based on the ratio of its size (dealers, hours and days) to the whole event.
Regulations governing secondhand junk dealers were written into the town bylaws as early as 1957, when dealers had to obtain licenses. In 1979, Brimfield passed comprehensive bylaws enabling it to govern the ever-growing flea markets. The most controversial act was an amendment, passed in 1991, that limited the shows to six days, including only one weekend, three times a year. While open dealing used to carry on throughout the night in Brimfield, today business hours are legally limited from dawn to dusk. Furthermore, the town has indelibly determined when the shows will be held: they must start on the second Tuesday in May, the first Tuesday following July 4 and the first Tuesday following Labor Day. (The remaining opening dates this year are July 8 and Sept. 2.)
When the town began regulating commercially zoned property, it upset some of the flea market owners, especially those with long established shows. James Hopkins, who owns Start-of-the-Mart, a postcard and ephemera show, called the legislation of the flea markets "back-door zoning." He adds, "When my father was around, we could run our show for as many days as we wanted," he says. "We used to run for 10 days. Then we were cut in half and told when we could operate. Our show was harmed, because our advantage was opening a few days before the other shows did. There's a lot of favoritism toward the larger shows in town." Last year Start-of-the-Mart moved indoors, enabling it to stay open for 10 days.
Back in the 1950s, when there were no flea markets to regulate, a local auctioneer named Gordon Reid decided to visit an open-air antiques show in Connecticut. Impressed with what he saw, Reid rounded up his dealer friends that he knew through auctions and established Gordon Reid's Famous Flea Market on his Brimfield property in 1959. People came in droves. His shows, the only shows in town at the time, were known for the quality of dealers and wares. Advertising was mainly word-of-mouth. Before long, Reid's field was full. "As we filled up our space and could not accommodate any more exhibitors, our neighbors throughout town started getting on the bandwagon, so they could ride our coattails," says Reid's daughter, Judy Mathieu.
Reid's success spawned imitators through the fields of Brimfield. Joe Hopkins, Reid's neighbor, whom one dealer fondly described as "a salvage man, a real honest-to-goodness junk man," owned 42 acres off Route 20. In 1961, Hopkins established Joe Hopkins Flea Market, now called Start-of-the-Mart. Lois Shelton, of Shelton Antique Shows, transformed her property, located across the street from Reid's place, into a makeshift parking lot in 1968 for Reid's overflow. By 1975, dealers were approaching Shelton, asking permission to set up booths on her lot. The once overlooked property lining Route 20 was soon acquired by local entrepreneurs hoping to cash in. Signs were posted on the fields adjacent to the highway advertising additional, less expensive rental space for dealers. Banking on the continued growth of Reid's show, Pam and Don Moriarty, promoters of Heart-o-the-Mart, bought an 11-acre plot on the strip. Heart-o-the-Mart's first show, in July 1982, drew six dealers; this spring the Moriartys were expecting 450 dealers, each of whom paid $260 for the space, for a total of $117,000.
Gordon Reid ran his Famous Flea Market until his death in 1974, when his wife and son took over for about a year. The market has since been renamed J&J Promotions Antiques and Collectibles Show, affectionately nicknamed "The Girls" by the dealers, in reference to owner-operators Judy Mathieu and Jill Lukesh, Reid's daughters. Today, J&J boasts 800 exhibitors, about 12 times the number that rented space for Famous Flea Market's premier show, and like its predecessor, consistently books shows.
For much of the J&J show, Judy Mathieu works in a barn next to the brown clapboard house where she lives. The barn and her house sit on the original field of the Auction Acres property, where her father held auctions before establishing his flea market. Minus the crowds and tents, the bucolic scene could appear on a postcard at Stu Bramble's booth. Like many show operators, Mathieu is a jack-of-all-trades, simultaneously directing traffic, ensuring security, solving last-minute problems and minding her grandchildren. Her workload is exacerbated by a lack of sleep--she goes to bed at 4 a.m., after checking in the dealers, and rises at 6 a.m. to open the gate for the public.
Back on the J&J field, a plastic Pez candy dispenser on sale for $32 is a reminder that society determines the value of objects. Nostal-gia sells. Kitsch also sells. And, of course, nostalgic kitsch sells. This may explain why a jelly jar/drinking glass from 1971 depicting a comic book based on a singing group called The Archies is displayed prominently at one booth. Or why there are several salt and pepper shaker booths at Brimfield. Browsing at Brimfield, you may stumble upon items you used as a child that are now considered antiques--not necessarily a pleasant feeling. It is easy to become a victim of nostalgia.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle into a La Trappe goblet. Thanks Andrew and Sara for gifting this to me!
A- Pours a muddy brown, hazy body with a small off-white head that reduces quickly and leaves no lacing.
S- Vanilla and oak predominate the nose.. caramel, dark fruits, and toffee take background.
T- Oak and sweet caramel, molasses, nutty notes, vanilla, some smokeyness on the finish.
M- Somewhat thin but expected with this style. medium-low carbonation.
Very nice, balanced, and extremely drinkable. Subtle characteristics that really work together define this German style, and the barrel adds an extra dimension that works well.

Thanks to Ohoove for cellaring this for a couple years so we could appreciate something better than the masses apparently experienced in earlier tastings. This brew is a deep brown color with golden-copper edges. The head is a modest, off-white cover that hangs on well and leaves a similarly modest trace of lace. The aroma says lots of hot cereal malt, like heavy duty Maypo. Very nice and reminds me of many of my own home brew mash tun scents. Simple but oh so satisfying. The taste comes on with much the same theme, only it's a tad disappointing in being a little less emphatic than the aroma suggested. But it's not really bad at all. The malt delivers a slight evergreen edge and maybe a little root beer and certainly a deep oak, as advertized. The body is solidly medium with very subtle carbonation, a tad flat for a smooth, somewhat aqueous feel. This is a tasty malt brew that goes down easily. Also easily recommended.

Bomber bottle from the cellar, purchased Dec 2010.
Off white head, brown liquid.
Mild aroma. Malty, not a lot of hops. Very faint oak, not much.
Tastes of grain, mild hops, somewhat abrasive.
Slight creaminess to mouthfeel. Medium body.
This one might have begun to turn. "Old", but still drinkable. Its best days have passed.

4/5 rDev +9.3%
A - Pours with one and a half fingers of white foam on top of a clear, amber-brown body. The head settles slowly but leaves only light lace.
S - A mild nose of light caramel and sweet bready malt with just a touch of toasted wood.
T - Smooth, sweet malt up front with notes of caramel and toffee. Some lightly spicy hops in the middle with more toffee. Finishes with smooth brown sugar and light bitterness as well as a lingering touch of vanilla.
M - Medium-thick body, moderately high carbonation, and a balanced finish.
D - Very smooth and well made, the base beer is quite good, which work out well because the oak aging is very subtle. A little vanilla is really all the barrel seems to have added but it is still a nicely made beer.

A: very thin head on a brownish-amber murky body. Little lacing.
S: nice dark/caramel malt with a subtle vanilla, dark fruit, mostly cherry note.
T: fairly rich, sweet caramel malts with some dark fruit and spicey notes. the oak is very mild with more nutty and toffee notes noted.
M: medium body and high carbonation.
Overall: nice and drinkable. not much of the oak barrel aging coming through with this one. Still flavorful.

Acquired from TheManiacalOne so a big THANK YOU goes out to him.
Poured in to a pint glass.
A: This beer pours a ruddy amber, deep copper color with a one finger of sudsy khaki head. Head recedes to a film and leaves minimal spots of lacing.
S: Nose is oak, grass, and toffee notes.
T: Taste starts with some oaked notes, and a ton of toffee, fruity flavoring. A touch of nuttiness and grain fill out the middle with a continued toffee flavoring. Finish has more oaked notes, vanilla nd a bit of grassiness.
M: Lighter side of medium body, medium carbonation, thin, slick oily feel with a very sticky finish.
O: Goes down easily, ok tasting, not filling, low kick, ok representation of style. Nothing mind blowing here, but a decent enough beer to kick back with for a bit.

It's time for kids to grab their fishing poles and head to the Parks at Chehaw. The park will hold its Kids Fishing Derby Saturday from 9 till Noon.
Anyone 15-years-old and younger can hangout and catch all the fish they want at Chehaw's 1-acre fishing pond.
Park officials say it's a great way for families to spend some time together.
"So many kids now days spend so much time inside the home, whether it's on the computer, tv, or watching movies. Great opportunity to get out in some beautiful weather we're going to have this weekend. Come out to Chehaw, have a family outing and enjoy nature," said Natural Resource Manager, Ben Kirkland.
The Derby is free for kids and the park will provide snacks and drinks.
The pond will open to the public for fishing starting Sunday through November with normal park admission and a 5 fish per person limit.

ST. LOUIS -- A third name, but not a fourth, was added to the Cardinals' list of interviewees for their vacant manager's job on Friday. Former Redbirds catcher Mike Matheny, who currently serves as a special assistant to general manager John Mozeliak, interviewed on Friday, a Cardinals source said.
Not interviewing Friday, the source said, was Terry Francona. The former Red Sox manager had been reported to be in line for an interview Friday, but at this time, the source said that Francona has not met with the club. The Cardinals are seeking a replacement for Tony La Russa, who retired Monday after 16 seasons at the helm.
Matheny, 41, played the bulk of his Major League career with St. Louis, winning three of his four Gold Gloves as a member of the Cardinals. He retired due to the effects of a concussion he suffered in 2006 while playing for the Giants.
Over 13 Major League seasons, Matheny batted .239 with a .293 on-base percentage, a .344 slugging percentage and 67 home runs. He was widely regarded as among the best defensive catchers in the game for much of his career, if not the best.
In recent years, he has served as a catching instructor and special assistant in the Cardinals organization. Even during his playing days, Matheny was considered a candidate to coach or manage at some point, but he has yet to spend any time as a coach or manager on a big league staff.
The Cardinals do not intend to hold any interviews on Monday, but could interview one or two more candidates on Tuesday. They interviewed Joe McEwing and Chris Maloney on Thursday.

Social media has exploded of the casting news the big-screen adaptation of E L James' "Fifty Shades of Grey."
Dakota Johnson, star of the short-lived FOX series "Ben & Kate,"
will be playing Anastasia Steele. In the book, the college student
becomes captivated with billionaire Christian Grey. Grey will be played
by "Sons of Anarchy" and "Pacific Rim" star Charlie Hunnam.
is the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith. She also appeared
in the "The Social Network" and the 2012 "21 Jump Street" remake.
Many fans of the series are sending tweets with anger outweighing the response to last week's announcement that Ben Affleck would be playing Bruce Wayne in the upcoming Batman/Superman movie.
E L James posted to her Twitter account in support of the choices saying. "The gorgeous and talented Charlie Hunnam will be Christian Grey in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey." and "I am delighted to let you know that the lovely Dakota Johnson has agreed to be our Anastasia in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey."

Lisa Rambo, the Hudson High School special education assistant who is lost only two pounds, but staved off elimination after a Red team vote sent Cate home.
The episode kicked off with the introduction of the Kids Junk Room, which included video games, soda and junk food of all sorts. After losing a team trivia challenge, the Blue team was forced to spend four-and-a-half hours per day in the Kids Junk Room for the week while the Red and White teams worked out with their trainers.
The physical team challenge this week included a relay race through a bubble gum pit while retreiving and carrying a 10-pound ball. The Red team won the challenge and received a year of free groceries.
When it was time for the weekly weigh-in, the five-member blue team lost 42 pounds (2.81 percent), the five-member red team lost 20 pounds (1.52 percent) and the two-member white team lost 15 pounds (3.31 percent). Because they had the lowest percentage lost, each member of the Red team was forced to vote off one of their teammates, except for Joe. He was the team's highest percentage loser this week with 9 pounds lost.
Here's how they voted:
- Cate: She closed her eyes and randomly chose Jackson.
- Jackson: He said he voted for Lisa, because she's strong and she can lose weight away from the ranch. And he added a tearful, "I love you."
- Francelina: She voted for Cate.
- Joe: Joe voted for Cate.
- Lisa: Lisa said she voted for Cate, because with her family support system back home she would be able to continue her weight-loss journey. Lisa told Cate to call her when she runs her marathon, and promised to be at the finish line with Red team trainer Dolvett.
Here are the stats for everyone this week:
- Jeff: -11 : 348 lbs
- Alex: -4 : 221 lbs
- David: -6 : 272 lbs
- Michael: -13 : 396 lbs
- Gina: -8 : 215 lbs
- Francelina: -5 : 237 lbs
- Joe: -9 : 317 lbs
- Jackson: -2 : 300 lbs
- Cate: -2 : 223 lbs
- Lisa: -2 : 223 lbs
- Danni: -6 : 228 lbs
- Pam: -9 : 210 lbs
The next episode will air Monday, Jan. 21, at 7 p.m. on NBC.

I'll most likely be moving there for graduate school in August. What am I in for? It looks like there is some climbing in the organs and it seems like hueco is a viable weekend spot. Any information is helpful, thanks.
While it is not boulder, Las Cruces isn't too bad if you like being outside. The town is pretty quite and not a lot going on. Although there is some stuff if you look and once you meet a few folks you know the whole town. As far as climbing goes: Organs are fun if you like all day adventures, hueco is great once you figure out the system, easy in the off season, the tunnel is good sport an hour away, good in the warmer months, there are some other less stellar spots nearby too like the rough and readies, pena blanca and the dona anas. Cochise and the enchanted tower are 3.5 hours away. Good trails and dirt roads for running and hiking. Hang out at the university wall to meet folks.
Thanks Dan. Do you have any recomendations on what part of town to live in? I'd like to be with in walking distance to the university.
I have to agree with -sp. My husband and I took a climbing trip out to the Organs a few years back. We had a blast and we had the place to ourselves, not a soul around.
I hope that was from wearing shorts...?
The key to the approaches in the Organs is finding the right trails. If you find yourself bushwacking through Cactus your screwing up.
shitkickers, carharts, long sleeves, and gloves are useful, although I have enjoyed dragging out some overly muscled sportos through the brush in their flip flops and prana shorts.
Some nice images (not mine)

Thanks to the few awesome traders who sent me some bottles of this... much appreciated. Basically black, with only the faintest shimmer of deep brown trim near the top of the brew. Sitting on top is a mild, dark-beige or light-tan head that hastily drops itself down to a chunky collar and measly skin that's stretched across the beer. Not much to speak of in terms of lacing.
One whiff and it's like I'm sitting in a hipster diner, filled with creamy, brew-house quality coffee, sweet half and half creamer, a moderate hint of roasted malt, a very faint dusting of orange zest, and a bit of bittersweet chocolate to finish things off. The orange aspect is nicely done... It's much more mild than, say, the raspberry in Raspberry Truffle Abduction, but I'm starting to think it's a good thing. This smells like a sweet-ish roasted coffee stout with a *touch* of orange zest.
Hmmm... tasty. The first sip reminds me of some expensive, cool iced coffee drink that you'd get from a place like Starbucks... only, in a more beer-y way. Creamy, mildly sweet coffee beans backed up with that little bit of orange zest - noticeable, but far from intrusive. Top it all off with a bit of mocha drizzle, just for good measure. I'm sticking with my original notion - this is a "coffee" stout first, and an "orange" stout second. I'm okay with that.
A good finishing touch of cocoa beans, lightly roasted malt, and a kiss of creamy sweetness leaves your palate a little on the dry side; moderately coated and thirsting for more. The aftertaste contains almost no orange, due to the coffee and roast dominance... The orange is more of a cameo that peaks its head in and scoots out early. Medium mouth feel... not as deliciously creamy as Coffee Break Abduction, but still pretty nice. Ample carbonation for a stout.
Reminds me of a slightly more sweet, less roasty version of Coffee Break Abduction with the little extra bit of orange zest thrown in. I thought it was done quite nicely... Too much orange runs the potential for a messy brew, but this one turned out very tasty. Enough orange to make an impact without stealing the show. Makes for a very nice and somewhat unique coffee stout when all is said and done.

Pours very dark brown, sits black in the glass with a creamy mocha head - looks like an abduction. The aroma is interesting - orange zest, rich chocolate, fresh coffee, and some musty-ripe orange at the end. Some orange vanilla sweetness comes through as it warms. Taste is dominated by chocolate - then coffee and fresh orange zest.
Another great fruit abduction beer. The orange is fresh and blends very well with the base beer and cocoa. A sweet desert beer for sure, but an intense aggressive one.

Rich dark pour with cascading effervescence into a one inch mocha head. Recedes in a short amount of time and decent lacing compared to other quality stouts.
Now if I didn't know there was orange in here I never would of nailed it. But since it is an orange truffle, there it is. Seriously though folks, bittered orange blended with milk chocolate. Sweetened aroma with faintish hop. Quality coffee roast. Long enough, more dark cocoa pulls through. All in all I'd say it holds it's own among many fine stouts.
Nice syrupy Hershey style milk chocolate and torte. It's very hard to find orange. Bittering agent is present. I'm getting so impressed with the milky chocolate presence more so than any orange truffle. I'm ready to dip strawberries in this. And yet 70% dark cocoa is there on the finish.
Creamy and silky all in one. Luxurious mouthfeel and thick.
I thought the raspberry stout by Pipeworks was so one dimensional with that tartness kick, but this has impressive levels of chocolate. Orange more of a bittering agent but scant. Turns out to be a fine stout and one of the finest mouthfeel experience since GI bourbon counties. This is a chocolate lovers dream and the stout for the adult kicker. A number of poo pooers holding this down but this is a real freakin' treat. Get over your orange craving and accept that it rounds out this fine stout. Put this in bourbon barrels and fuugetaboutit. Outstanding!

650 mL bottle poured into a snifter.
Appearance - Black and kinda viscous. Khaki head. Medium collar.
Smell - Dark chocolate. Bright aroma that isn't overtly orange-y, but I get it. Sweet caramel.
Taste - Dark chocolate, the orange flavor lends a brightness to the flavor that I appreciate, but it isn't really a strong orange. Sweet.
Mouthfeel - Thick and sweet. Medium carbonation.
Overall - I was hoping for more orange. It's really an afterthought.

Deep dark brown color with minimal sandy colored head that quickly reduces to a surface ring.
The nose is mostly coffee and fudge. There are earthy notes with a faint whiff of orange.
The orange really pops in the flavor, and I'm glad it does. It doesn't overtake the base and is the perfect dose. It tastes like an orange tootsie pop and I fucking love orange tootsie pops. Light leathery flavor in the middle. The finish is a bitter coffee.
Super creamy mouthfeel. Spot on carbonation. The 10% abv isn't noticeable at all.
I absolutely love this beer and is my favorite abduction variant to date.

Bomber poured into a perfect pint glass. 12/4
Pours jet black, very still, no bubbles. Liquid tar. Thin ring of foam. Rich roasted nose, hints of orange. Mild. Taste is an astringent bitter, a little syrupy. Barkeywine like bitter. Boozy. Subtle citrus fruit blended in. The oranges for sure. Good. Heavy.

Black body and dark tan foam results from a vigorous pour into a dimpled mug. Some lacing here and there, a patchy skim on the surface, and a lasting ring around the edges.
Aroma is chocolatey and vaguely roasty. Very much like standard issue Abduction, even when allowed to warm to room temperature. No orange to speak of.
Very vague orange in the aftertaste, like a dried up shriveled orange peel, just the barest hint of any essence of it exists, and then it seems more like the power of suggestion. Big roasty notes of Abduction overtake it, chocolate, coffee, roasty blackened malts. Very smooth and creamy, drinkability is it's strong suit. Full bodied and slightly sticky on the lips though dry in the finish. A pleasant bitterness, and some light dried orange peel is noticeable with bigger swig. Double digit abv is expertly hidden. Could use more orange aroma and flavor to live up to it's name, but it's still a tasty beer.

The man who led police on a manhunt and standoff went to the hospital after his capture.
According to The Morning Sun, Blake Ketner took pills at some point during the ordeal at his mother's house in Isabella County.
He is still in the hospital and officials do not know when he will be released.
The standoff between police and the suspected armed robber ended peacefully Friday evening.
The Isabella County Sheriff's Office, along with many area law enforcement agencies, took Ketner into custody after a nearly eight-hour standoff.
The home invasion happened in northeast Isabella County around noon Friday.
Residents in the area were cautioned to be alert for the suspect, who was considered armed and dangerous.
Isabella County Central Dispatch issued a warning that stated the burglary occurred in the area of Coleman and Wise roads.
Police said Ketner assaulted the homeowner during the course of the burglary. The homeowner was hit in the head with a gun and received several stitches from the injury during a struggle with the suspect.
Posters on TV5's Facebook page said a helicopter could be seen scouring the area for the fugitive.
Ketner previously served prison time for various convictions and was released in June of 2011.

Updated 3:15 p.m. ET, Monday, Sept. 20, 2010
The season is just two weeks young, but QB controversies are already beginning to brew for nearly one-third of the teams.
With the pressure to win now in today's NFL so immense, several teams who had high hopes but have gotten off to slow starts could be looking to make changes at the most crucial position on the field in the coming weeks in a desperate effort to salvage their season.
PFW's editors analyze each of these unsettled QB situations and let you know when, or if, a change might occur. (Teams are listed in alphabetical order):
The skinny: Derek Anderson is looking very much like he did the previous two seasons in Cleveland. He has thrown only one TD pass the first two games, he has a very mediocre 54.2 completion percentage and he has no touch whatsoever on his passes. It appears fan favorite Max Hall is definitely looking over Anderson's shoulder, and it would not be a total shock if head coach Ken Whisenhunt, who doesn't have much patience, makes another change, especially if Anderson continues to look as bad as he did in Week Two against Atlanta
Our call: Anderson's leash grows shorter with every bad outing. He could use a strong performance this Sunday very badly.
The skinny: QB Joe Flacco threw four interceptions in Baltimore's 15-10 loss at Cincinnati in Week Two, and he has committed six turnovers (five picks, one fumble) in two games thus far. Overall, the Ravens have scored just 20 points in two games. Backup Marc Bulger signed a rich contract for a reserve in June and had success as a starter in St. Louis.
Our call: The Ravens are likely to stick with Flacco, but Bulger is a very good backup, and Baltimore is clearly in win-now mode. If the Ravens disappoint, a QB change can't be ruled out.
The skinny: On Sunday in Green Bay, Bills QB Trent Edwards had an afternoon to forget, throwing for only 102 yards while being picked off twice and sacked four times. His week didn't get much better on Monday, when head coach Chan Gailey announced that Ryan Fitzpatrick will start in Week Three. The Bills' stagnant offense falls mainly on the running game, which was expected to be Buffalo's most effective way of moving the chains.
Our call: Fitzpatrick, who started eight games for the team last season, is the starter for now, but with the Patriots and Jets on the schedule the next two weeks, Edwards could be back under center soon.
The skinny: The Panthers replaced starter Matt Moore with Jimmy Clausen in the fourth quarter of their loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday, and on Monday, head coach John Fox named Clausen the Week Three starter. Clausen, the team's top pick in this year's draft, completed six passes — the same number Moore had for the game — on his first drive vs. Tampa Bay and finished 7-for-13 passing for 59 yards with an interception. Moore was downright awful this season (40.8 percent completions, four interceptions, eight sacks) before his benching.
Our call: Fox didn't say the move was permanent, but Clausen likely would have to be terrible for the Panthers to turn things over to Moore again.
The skinny: QB Jake Delhomme missed the Week Two home loss to Kansas City with an ankle injury. His replacement, Seneca Wallace, threw a 65-yard TD pass to Joshua Cribbs and completed 16-of-31 passes for 229 yards overall. However, he threw an ill-advised pass that was intercepted and returned for a touchdown — the Chiefs' only TD of the game.
Our call: Delhomme figures to remain the starter when he's healthy enough to return to the lineup. Both QBs have made costly mistakes early this season.
The skinny: One week after posting the highest QB rating of his career, David Garrard was benched after throwing four picks in San Diego. His replacement, Luke McCown, was 11-for-20 passing for 120 yards before leaving with a knee injury.
Our call: McCown was scheduled for an MRI on his knee Monday, but even if the injury isn't serious, Garrard will remain the starter as long as the picks don't become a trend.
Kansas City
The skinny: Matt Cassel's play has been far from stellar thus far — 52 percent completions, two interceptions — but his job is secure as long as the Chiefs are winning games. After signing a huge extension prior to last season, Cassel would have to become a turnover machine for the 2-0 Chiefs to bench him for Brodie Croyle, a guy viewed as nothing more than a quality backup.
Our call: Cassel will not lose the starting job.
The skinny: After just 1½ games as Oakland's starter, Jason Campbell was benched in favor of Bruce Gradkowski, who led the offense on three scoring drives in a come-from-behind 16-14 win over the Rams. There is speculation that some inside the organization are putting pressure on head coach Tom Cable to continue starting Campbell, but Cable may be inclined to give Gradkowski a shot to keep the job.
Our call: Campbell will start in Week Three. He's on a short leash, though.
The skinny: Michael Vick now has played six good quarters in Kevin Kolb's place, and Sunday's 35-32 win over the Lions was perhaps his best performance in the pocket since early in the 2006 season. Head coach Andy Reid handed the keys to Kolb this offseason after the trade of Donovan McNabb, but he reversed course on Tuesday, announcing that Vick would start in Week Three.
Our call: Reid opted to go with the hot hand, sticking with Vick after the superathletic passer has helped lead the Eagles to a 2-0 start.
The skinny: Veteran starter Matt Hasselbeck had a solid season opener and looked to be in total command of new coordinator Jeremy Bates' new offense. But it was a much different story in Denver, as he hurled three interceptions, including two inside the Broncos' 10-yard line. He said he was having a problem gripping the ball, and it says here that he still has a pretty solid grip on the starting job after what was just a bad day at the office.
Our call: Hasselbeck is going to get at least half the season to sink or swim before Pete Carroll considers high-priced offseason trade acquisition Charlie Whitehurst as an alternative.
The skinny: Vince Young was pulled in a 19-11 loss to Pittsburgh in Week Two after he threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. Young's replacement, Kerry Collins, completed 17-of-25 passes for 149 yards with one TD and one interception. Afterward, Titans head coach Jeff Fisher said, "Vince (Young) is still our starter. He will start next week against the Giants. There is no quarterback controversy. I just needed to make that decision. I know it was the best decision for the team."
Our call: Young is likely to remain the Titans' starter.

When Vanity Fair magazine wanted to do a photo shoot of Mikhail Baryshnikov hanging around his new studio in New York City, they meant literally hang. So they called in Sapsis Rigging, Inc., to suspend Baryshnikov from the roof of the Baryshnikov Arts Center on West 37th Street in Manhattan. The results of the shoot, photographed by Annie Leibovitz, were published in the January issue.
This wasn't the first time Sapsis Rigging has helped suspend celebrities from high heights. In October, the company supervised Al Roker and Matt Lauer as they descended from Rockefeller Center dressed as Batman & Robin for NBC's annual Today Show Halloween special. According to the company, the real trick one was keeping Roker's cape from getting tangled in the belay rig.

Rush to tour South America in late 2009?
UPDATE - 12/30@2:20PM: Many thanks to everyone who sent in a translation. Here's one from reader GeddyJr who happens to be a professional Spanish translator:
Rush is packing its bags for Chile
As with Queen, the station (Canal 13) got together with local producers and came to an agreement to bring the trio here in 2009. It's one of the most anticipated performances in recent memory.
Almost like Radiohead or Madonna, for years the arrival of the Canadian trio Rush has been one of the greatest unfulfilled promises of local megaevents and the confessed dream of an enormous community of devoted fans that grew up in the rock-and-roll virtuosity of the 70's.
Despite often the multitude of rumors (a while back it was said that they would come in May), the negotiations now offer solid evidence of progress. Eventos 13, the concert production office of Canal 13, met with two local producers almost a month ago and closed a financial deal for the group's debut in Santiago.
Initially, the plan was to bring the group here in March, but problems with the group's schedule and the abundance of events during that month precluded that possibility. The last date that was agreed upon is during the last few months of next year. [Translator's note: Keep in mind that the seasons are reversed in South America, so this will be a summer tour in late 2009.] The venue hasn't been decided yet, but industry sources are sure that the Canadians' elevated price tag and strong drawing power in Chile will demand an arena capacity of more than 15,000.
Even the National Stadium has been considered. Chile's last game in World Cup qualifying is during the first week of October, and the stadium's availability and capacity both make it the best choice for the event. Other options would be the Pista Atlética (Sports Stadium) or the Club Hípico (Horse Track), which will host Iron Maiden on March 22. Furthermore, managers of Calle Blanco Encalada have organized a meeting in the next few days with executives of UC-TV - the same people that agreed to participate in Queen's recent show in November, produced by DG Medios.
Rush's tour through Latin America, which will also include Brazil and Argentina, would be an incredible realignment of effort. The band closed its "Snakes & Arrows" tour on July 24 in Indianapolis and has said that they will rest in 2009. This could be a real treat for their South American fans, the greatest Rush fans in the world. Many Chileans traveled to Brazil in 2002 and appear in the DVD that the group recorded in that country.
----- snip -----
Chilean newspapper El Mercurio is reporting that Rush is in negotiations to tour South America sometime late next year. The article is in Spanish but from what I can glean from it, the band would potential play several dates at larger arenas (15000+) in Chile, Argentina and Brazil. If anyone is willing to translate the article, I'd really appreciate it; my Spanish is mediocre at best. The article talks about how originally the band was supposed to tour South America last May, as I'd reported on this site. It also mentions how this would be an unprecedented move since the band closed out the Snakes & Arrows tour back in July and have stated that they'd be taking most of 2009 off. Here's the original article in Spanish and here is the loose Google translation. If true, this is great news for all the South American fans. More as I learn it and I'll try to get a better translation of the article. Thanks to Hugo F for the heads up.
