LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW)-- A man convicted of killing a La Crosse woman last year won't get a new trial.
Izelia Golatt was convicted last September for the March 2012 killing of Kristen Rodgers. Golatt wanted a new trial arguing that his first trial was not a public trial as guaranteed by the constitution. Golatt's attorney claimed the hours listed on the courthouse website differ from the hours of the actual trial.
Thursday, Judge Scott Horne ruled the courthouse was unlocked and open during the proceedings.
During the brief hearing, Judge Horne ruled Golatt does not get a new trial.

SPOKANE, Wash. - After a day of investigation Avista officials have determined that a squirrel was responsible for setting off a series of events that caused several fires and power outages in North Spokane Wednesday.
Avista officials say around 8:20 Wendesday morning, a squirrel came into contact with a transformer in the 4900 block of North Hartely, at Wellesley.
The animal was killed by the contact which also burned through the power line, causing into fall down. The line fell on a metal fence and a car. The fence became energized and conducted electricity down beneath the ground to a natural gas pipeline.
The underground pipeline burned through and the gas inside ignited. The fire spread to the meters at two nearby houses.
155 Avista customers in the area lost power but had their service restored by noon Wednesday.
Firefighters were able to get all of the fires under control quickly but described the event as a very unusual situation.

More One-Sided Reporting From CNN on Issues Involving the Catholic Church
When it comes to social issues, you can expect to get mostly one side of the story from CNN's reporting – the liberal side. On Thursday morning, that trend continued as anchor Kyra Phillips sympathized with a Catholic school teacher fired because she was using sick days to receive in vitro fertilization, a practice condemned by the Catholic Church.
Phillips started off with this jab at the Church: "Well, in vitro fertilization is a godsend for millions of infertile couples who long to have children, but the Catholic Church says it's a sin." So tell us where you really stand on this, Kyra. [Video below the break. Audio here.]
And CNN continued to report a slanted story. Nowhere did they mention that according to the lawsuit, the teacher had used sick days to receive IVF, and wasn't just doing it on the side. Phillips later wondered if the teacher was fired simply because there was a "grudge" against her.
According to the Fort Wayne newspaper, the teacher, Emily Herx, had let school officials know about her IVF treatment but only once the matter was brought to a priest did the diocese take action.
And Phillips topped off the interview with a totally soapy set of questions about the teacher's personal success with IVF. If she hadn't already made known her sympathy with Emily Herx's plight, Kyra seemed to be auditioning for Oprah now. "[D]id the IVF work for you?" she asked Herx. "Do you want to do it again? Do you want to keep trying?"
For the record, a statement from the Diocese of Fort Wayne can be found here. In part, it reads:
"The Diocese has clear policies requiring that teachers in its schools must, as a condition of employment, have a knowledge of and respect for the Catholic faith, and abide by the tenets of the Catholic Church as those tenets apply to that person. The Diocese requires that its teachers serve as moral exemplars. Those requirements, and others, are expressly incorporated into Diocesan teacher contracts."
CNN has made it clear it sides with liberal Catholics and the pro-GLAAD crowd on social issues. Just on Wednesday, Phillips fawned over a disgruntled lesbian mom removed by the Boy Scouts as local cub den leader because of her orientation. No one representing the Boy Scouts was brought on for the other side of the story.
Then on Thursday, CNN hyped Georgetown University protests of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) and his budget. The network hosted two liberal Catholic guests opposing Ryan's budget, and one of the guests enjoyed three interviews throughout the day. Aside from statements by Ryan himself, no Catholic bishop or supporter of Ryan appeared on CNN to talk Catholic social teaching.
A transcript of the interview, which aired on Newsroom on April 26 at 11:16 a.m. EDT, is as follows:
KYRA PHILLIPS: Well, in vitro fertilization is a godsend for millions of infertile couples who long to have children, but the Catholic Church says it's a sin. So when higher-ups in the diocese in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, learned that a teacher at St. Paul – Vincent de Paul Catholic school was undergoing IVF treatments, they fired her, and made no apologies about it.
Quote, "The diocese has clear policies requiring that teachers in its schools must have a knowledge of and respect for the Catholic faith, and abide by the tenets of the Catholic Church." Now, the teacher then accused the school and diocese of violating both the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission agreed.
Still, the church is unmoved, calling the, quote, "core issue ," quote, "a challenge to the diocese's right as a religious employer to make religious-based decisions consistent with its religious standards on an impartial basis." Meet the teacher, Emily Herx. She joins me now from New York with her attorney, Kathleen Delaney. And we did invite officials from the Ft. Wayne diocese to join us, but they declined.
So, Emily, let's go ahead and start with you. You taught at St. Vincent de Paul for eight years. Were you ever reprimanded for any performance issues?
EMILY HERX, teacher fired for IVF treatments: Never, not once. I was always given high remarks by parents and by my principal and other teachers. I was told that my children performed very well, so everything seemed to be going great for as long as I was there.
PHILLIPS: So did anyone ever tell you that IVF could get you fired?
HERX: No, absolutely not. About two years ago when we started, there was no warning. There was nothing about fertility treatments being an issue.
PHILLIPS: And did you ever try to hide it from anybody, not talk about it?
HERX: No. I was very honest with my principal from the get-go, so I was never trying to lie about it or anything like that.
PHILLIPS: Was your principal supportive?
HERX: Yes, she was. For the first two years, she never warned me about it. She never said there was a possibility that you could lose your job, so that's why this was all so shocking that this happened so quickly.
PHILLIPS: Now we're talking about a Catholic school. Did she ever say, hey, let's pray about it or I'll keep you my prayers or let's stay focused on this.
HERX: Absolutely. The first time that she was made aware that my husband and I had to go through fertility treatment she said, "You are in my prayers," so that to me was support.
PHILLIPS: So I see that you started fertility in 2008, and you weren't fired until 2011, so tell me what happened. How did this blow up?
HERX: Honestly I'm not sure. It was shocking because one day I got an e-mail saying that I needed to meet with the monsignor at St. Vincent and he told me that, basically, my job was at risk, out of the blue. And I said, "Well, you know, my principal has been knowing about this for two years." I didn't think I was doing anything wrong, and I had never had any complaints about, you know, me as a teacher, so I was shocked and then it just kind of snowballed from there. So it's been very traumatic.
PHILLIPS: So – and I'll talk more with you, Kathleen, of course, about some of the details, but just trying to get a feel from Emily on how this all sort of unfolded. Because Emily, it seems like you had a lot of support, that people were aware of what you were going through. The principal, as you say, was praying for you. How has this impacted your family?
HERX: Oh, my family is devastated. We are all emotionally -- it's been a very rough year. My entire family, my parents, it's just been a very hard thing to come to grips to because I did love my job so much and I did love teaching so much. You know, right after college, I was so excited to get a job there and, you know, to have that stripped away from me, but the outpour of support has been wonderful.
PHILLIPS: So, Kathleen, does the diocese insurance policy cover these treatments, cover fertility treatments?
DELANEY: Our understanding, based upon the information that we now have, is that the diocese health plan covered some of the treatments, including office visits and anesthesia services.
PHILLIPS: Okay. So Emily, as far as you knew, you were going through this and the insurance that you have through the diocese was helping you pay for these treatments.
HERX: Absolutely.
PHILLIPS: The bills were getting paid?
HERX: Some of the bills were getting paid, absolutely.
PHILLIPS: Okay. So then, Kathleen, if I – in the diocese – or to use the diocese's own words, the quote here is that your client was fired for improprieties related to church teachings or law. So let me ask you this. What about the teachers who use contraception, teachers that are divorced, teachers that live with partners that are unmarried?
PHILLIPS: So, Kathleen, what do you think is happening here? Do you think someone just had a grudge against your client and sort of made this a big deal when everything apparently was okay from 2008 to 2011, if indeed the principal knew she was going through this treatment, the bills were getting paid for things that were covered by the insurance policy?
DELANEY: Well, we're not going to speculate on the motives of the diocese of Ft. Wayne. I think it's for them to address those questions when the time comes, rather than us.
PHILLIPS: Understood. So, Emily, I know this may be a bit of a personal question, but did the IVF work for you?
HERX: Honestly, no, it has not.
PHILLIPS: And I know that must be tremendously hard to deal with as well. Do you want to do it again? Do you want to keep trying?
HERX: Right now, I don't feel comfortable talking about that, but –
DELANEY: It's a really tough topic, Kyra, and that's really between Emily and her husband and her doctor.
PHILLIPS: Understandable. How about returning to the classroom, Emily?

And frankly, Kyra, most of us Catholics are sick to death of you and your ilk pointing out that a lot of people don't agree with the Church's teaching.
Get over it already.
PS: they don't know if teachers use contraception, but a teacher living with another in an unmarried state would probably be fired.

The Catholic Church outrages
Submitted by richflanj on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 7:00pm.
The Catholic Church outrages liberals because it holds to the laws of God over the trends of liberalism. I, for one, just love watching them complain about teachings and beliefs they know NOTHING about. I especially love it when they refuse to apologize.

I didn't mean it, please let me in??? At that time it will be too late. You will have been judged and found wanting.
But fear not you will still be able to say your intentions were good, they just weren't good enough.

Has CNN ever done a story on
Submitted by Edhenry on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 9:08pm.
Has CNN ever done a story on the contributions of the Catholic church?
Why would media carry on a vendetta on one of the most important institutions that we have today in the United States, namely the Catholic Church?
Do you know - the Catholic Church educates 2.6 million students everyday at the cost to that Church of 10 billion dollars, and a savings on the other hand to the American taxpayer of 18 billion dollars. The graduates go on to graduate studies at the rate of 92%.
The Church has 230 colleges and universities in the U.S. with an enrollment of 700,000 students.
The Catholic Church has a non-profit hospital system of 637 hospitals, which account for hospital treatment of 1 out of every 5 people - not just Catholics - in the United States today
But the media are vindictive and trying to totally denigrate in every way the Catholic Church in this country. They have blamed the disease of homosexual pedophilia on the Catholic Church. Which is as irresponsible as blaming adultery on the institution of marriage.
A study of American priests showed that most are happy in the priesthood and find it even better than they had expected, and that most, if given the choice, would choose to be priests again in face of all this obnoxious PR the church has been receiving. They receive no pay, no comfort of family, calls at all hours of night, no retirement and must listen to, and be expected to solve, the most difficult aspects of human dynamics.
The Catholic Church is bleeding from self-inflicted wounds. The agony that Catholics have felt and suffered is not necessarily the fault of the Church. You have been hurt by a very small number of wayward priests; a much smaller % than in other denominations.
Walk with your shoulders high and your head higher. Be a proud member of the most important non-governmental agency in the United States .
Then remember what Jeremiah said: 'Stand by the roads, and look and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is and walk in it, and find rest for your souls'. Be proud to speak up for your faith with
pride and reverence and learn what your Church does for all other religions.

thank you for bringing up these numbers. They are very important. But I believe the idea is to diminish the role o the Catholic church. The Catholic church competes with the government for the assistance of the poor. In the minds of liberals and statists, that cannot happen. Hence the Church needs to be torn apart so the government can fill the void left by the Church. But unless we the faithful allow that to happen these attempts will fail.

St Peter's Advice to the Faithful
Submitted by LaVallette on Fri, 04/27/2012 - 6:12am.
Extract from the first reading on the Feast of St.Mark, celebrated this past Wednesday 25 April:
1st Letter of Peter, Chap, 5
"Be calm but vigilant, because your enemy the devil is prowling round like a roaring lion, looking for someone to eat. Stand up to him, strong in faith and in the knowledge that your brothers all over the world are suffering the same thing. You will have to suffer for only a little while: the God of all grace who called you to eternal glory in Christ will see that all is well again: he will confirm, strenghten and support you. His power last forever. Amen."
And so it has been since the time of Christ and so it will be till the end of time. The greatest tragedy for the Chuch has already happened, the Crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. Since his resurrection the Church, the barque of St.Peter has triumphed over very adversity that has come its way since that time.

Most people who have issues
Submitted by Soldat44 on Fri, 04/27/2012 - 10:37am.
Most people who have issues with Catholic Church teaching have never investigated as to why the teaching is what it is. They really need to sit down with a priest, deacon or attend an RCIA(Right of Christian Initiation for Adults) class. There is a reason for all of them. The Truth of the faith, as it has been handed down for 2,000 years, not 500, is what sets the Catholic faith apart from all the others.
When I decided to become Roman Catholic in 2006 it wasn't because I only agreed with 'part' of the faith. I agreed with ALL of it. It all made sense. It takes prayer, study, more prayer, more study and of course, the Holy Spirit to bring it all together.
Proud to be Catholic.
God Bless

As a teacher in the Catholic school world she knew the rules and the teachings of the church, PERIOD!
The Roman Catholic teaching on IVF is clear.
I don't believe that we are getting the whole story here either. But now that she has taken this to the secular liberal media she has burned her bridge. Her pride has gotten the best of her and I am glad she is out.
Hopefully one day she will understand what has happened and make it right.

"Well, in vitro fertilization is a godsend for millions of infertile couples who long to have children, but the Catholic Church says it's a sin."
Sure, the Catholic Church thinks that going through an artificial remedy to have a child that will suit your personal needs instead of adopting a child that has no parents and needs a home is a bit selfish.
People are welcome to join a religion they feel is less judgmental though.

You should create a Fan Page. You should have 2 contents like what the user is going to see before they like the page and after liking the page. So place the video links so that it will only be displayed after liking the page. There is a customized code to get this functionality get done

Want to buy a restaurant? Call this family
Carly Harrington's Friday column looked at a local family of restaurant brokers.
In their first year, the Roskops are on target to sell eight properties but hope to increase that over time. They currently have about 40 listings ranging in price from $40,000 to $6.1 million.
Most recently, they helped broker a deal between the owner of LaCosta and an interested buyer.

Stations are some of the safest in country
11:50am Thursday 27th December 2012 in News By Mark Foster
FOUR of the region's railway stations have been officially named as among the safest in the country.
Northallerton, Thirsk, Thornaby and Malton have all been recognised as safe and secure for both rail passengers and staff.
A combined total of more than 2.4m passengers use the stations every year and the Department for Transport measured the stations against a set of criteria including the number of reported crimes compared to the number of customers using the station.
British Transport Police confirmed that Northallerton has the lowest customer to crime ratio of 1 to 102,376, while Malton, Thornaby and Thirsk present ratios of 1 to 58,723, 1 to 26,094 and 1 to 18,721 respectively.
And now the stations, each managed by First TransPennine Express (FTPE), have been re-accredited to the Government's Secure Stations Scheme.
FTPE's police liaison officer Billy Vickers said: "This is really good news for some of our stations in the North East. Safety is our number one priority and we have and will continue to work to improve the station environment for the benefit of customers and staff.
"Customers expect to travel and colleagues have the right to work in safe and secure environments. Rail stations are open public places that are vulnerable to increased levels of crime."
FTPE conducts regular safety audits are in partnership with the BTP and has also invested £17m to make stations safe environments, including the installation of CCTV and customer help points.
BTP crime reduction officer Paul Hardy said: "The Secure Stations scheme is an important element in securing our rail system, reassuring passengers and staff, and ensuring the continued success of the industry."
"The rail system is a low crime environment and one where increasing resources are being put into combating anti-social behaviour and disorder.
"However, if we are going to drive down crime and anti-social behaviour further, we need to continue to work together in a smarter and more planned way.
"That is what the Secure Stations Scheme can offer – a meaningful measure of better co-operative working between station operators and the police, not only of crime, but more importantly of how people feel about the stations they travel to and from."

This is a scenario unheard of at Kings Cross, Euston, St Pancras, Paddington etc where this type of fatality is almost unheard of. Compare those stats and see which are the safest stations. Not those where the country bumpkins reside, that's for sure.
I use Northallerton station and it's really good. Other passengers are polite and nice and you never see any thugs. The last "crime" occurred a few months ago when someone smashed in the front of a train by jumping in front of it.

Critical of Law School Rankings, Thomas Says 'Ivies' OK, but He Prefers Hiring 'Regular' Students
Posted Sep 24, 2012 11:34 AM CDT
By Molly McDonough
When hiring clerks, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas doesn't limit his application review to those from top-tier schools. In fact, he prefers hiring from lower-ranked institutions.
The individual, not his or her school or degree, is what is important, Thomas told a group of students at the University of Florida, according to the Associated Press and the Gainesville Sun.
"Isn't that the antithesis of what this country is supposed to be about? Isn't that the bias that we fought about on racial terms, or on terms of sex, or on terms of religion, etc.?" Thomas is quoted saying. "My new bias, which I now embrace, is that I don't eliminate the Ivies in hiring, but I intentionally prefer kids from regular backgrounds and regular students."
Thomas told students that clerks have told him they were considered "Third Tier Trash" by bloggers looking at rankings. But Thomas urged students not to buy into the notion. And he was critical of those who saddle themselves with debt by falling prey to "stargazing" by only considering the highest ranked and highest priced schools.

A last chance to voice concerns over Circle Interchange construction in the West Loop and Greektown became a rally cry for union construction workers, stressing support for the 5,000 jobs to be created by the massive four-year project.
But there were sprinkles of dissent at Thursday night's Illinois Department of Transportation public hearing, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. An hour earlier, two of the speakers stood with at least 20 others under the Greektown columns at Van Buren and Halsted streets as rains soaked the area, holding signs that read "No Flyover," and "Save Our Neighborhood."
The group objects to a proposed plan that would create a flyover ramp — two lanes and two shoulders — above Halsted Street to get drivers from the northbound Dan Ryan Expy. to the westbound Eisenhower.
Ann Brodley, 79, has lived in her West Loop building on Sangamon Street for more than 25 years.
"The highway will be moved 30 feet closer to my building and I face the South Side so I will be practically on the highway," Brodley said while carrying a sign that read "Mayor Rahm, No Flyover." ". . . The cars will be going through my bedroom practically. That's not good."
Another West Loop resident, Jennifer Powers, said she supports job creation but worries about the division the bridge might create: "I believe it will stop students from coming to Greektown. I love the small businesses that are in that area. I don't want a commercial area, because small businesses cannot survive when the economy goes down in the city."
Tony Ballay of the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters said the project will help connect intermodal transportation in the area, helping ease congestion and create jobs.
"We're going to have a lot of carpenters, ironworkers, bricklayers, laborers, electricians — a lot of work here [for the $420 million reconstruction]," Ballay said. " . . . It's going to be one of the things that will [move] Chicago forward even more."
The plan ultimately is to ease traffic by expanding capacity on the ramps that form the circle-shaped interchange where the Eisenhower Expy. meets the Dan Ryan and Kennedy expressways downtown. Engineers say the work will reduce crashes and congestion for the outdated interchange, rated one of the worst bottlenecks in the country.

LONDON (AP) -- Former Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Amir has blamed captain Salman Butt for manipulating him into bowling the two no-balls against England that led to his five-year fixing ban and three months in jail.
Amir told The Times of London newspaper that Butt claimed he could persuade an International Cricket Council contact to keep the young pace bowler's name out of a supposed fixing inquiry in exchange for the deliberate no-balls against England in August 2010.
Only 18 and a relative newcomer, Amir said he believed the claim and agreed to the deal because Butt and his agent told him his career would be under threat if he refused.
Amir, who was released from a young offenders' institution on Feb. 1 after serving half of a six-month sentence.

Gay couples across Maryland are talking up future wedding plans now that voters have authorized their right to marry.
Voters on Tuesday approved a ballot question that legalized same-sex marriage. Now some couples are planning their nuptials after years of such talk being merely hypothetical.
A Maryland couple together for almost three decades is finally tying the knot.
Teresa Williams and Jo Deutsch decided long ago that they would hold off getting married until it was legal to do so in the state they love.
Williams and Deutsch have raised three children together and never thought it would be possible for them to marry legally in Maryland.
The couple had been making plans to celebrate their 30th anniversary together with a large party next year. Now they say that party will become a wedding.
Charles Blackburn of Baltimore says he expects to marry Glen Dehn, his partner of 34 years. He says it'll feel special to be recognized as an equal member of society.
Gov. Martin O'Malley signed into a law a same-sex marriage bill, but opponents collected enough signatures for a ballot referendum. Supporters of gay marriage mounted a wide coalition to overcome the opposition.
Voters in Maine passed same-sex marriage by popular vote while Minnesota voters defeated a proposed constitutional amendment that would have banned same-sex marriage.

Town Square
Action on Main @ Rose Hotel
Original post made by Kerri on Apr 24, 2012
A few minutes later I received a phone call from my husband who was walking our children to school at Alisal who said he saw this "motorcade" heading down Main St in the direction of Santa Rita Rd. and the men in the black SUV were visibly armed with what he said seemed like pretty heavy artillery.
Anyone know who would be visiting the city of Pleasanton that would require this type of protection?

I swear....ask a legitimate question and get nothing but stupid answers.
I'm sorry Kerri I don't know the answer for you.

Francine - thanks for your response. I really was concerned that there were armed men in an SUV driving down Main St. while children are walking to school. I too am sorry that so many took this in a direction that was not necessary. Get a life people.
on Apr 25, 2012 at 3:35 pm
The mini-motorcade got onto 580 and headed east, over the Altamont I am fairly certain. The two SUV's had Government plates. The towncar I think had diplomat plates. They were cruising at about 80, in a real tight formation. Couple of feet between cars. Tail car was pushing the right side of the lane to discourage anyone from entering their space.
Too bad they didn't try it going West on 580 in the morning.
on Apr 26, 2012 at 7:32 am
Well, you always know if 'Mittens' or 'Tracey' (one and the same) comment it's a topic they do not want discussed. They will trash and ridicule to end all rational exchange. Union roots. So that means cars were about a good mainstream official they want ignored, or a leftist Dem visitor, they want secretly protected...... Diversion, distraction, and destruction !
on Apr 26, 2012 at 8:23 am
Hmmmm... And just what do you mean by 'eliminate'?

As optimistic as ever
For the first time in a long time, the Atlanta Braves come into spring with very few questions marks about the team from top to bottom.
Walden excited to be a Brave
Reliever Jordan Walden may be more excited than anyone else about spring training after he was acquired by the Braves for a starting pitcher.
New Braves catcher Laird preparing to start opening day
Gerald Laird will likely be behind the plate on opening day for the Braves while starter Brian McCann finishes his rehab from offseason surgery.
Horford's late jam helps Hawks edge Raptors, 93-92
The Hawks come back from a halftime hole Wednesday night against the Raptors at home and edge out with a big win, 93-92.
Newcomer Upton already feeling at home with Braves
New Braves slugger Justin Upton, who says he can't wait to bring a title to the Peach State, is introduced Tuesday during his first news conference in Atlanta.
Out with the old ...?
And in with the new? That's the question circling around Atlanta right now as plans continue to unfold for a new stadium for the Falcons.
Long day for the Hawks: They lose Williams for season, and fall to Spurs, 98-93
The Hawks, who lost Lou Williams for the season with knee injury early Saturday, can't keep the momentum from their big win against Brooklyn on Wednesday, and lose to the Spurs, 98-93, on Saturday night. (INCLUDES: item on Williams being lost for the season with a tear in his ACL).
Minus Smith, Hawks snap skid, smash red-hot Nets, 109-95
The Hawks, who suspended their leading scorer Josh Smith before the game, get a career-high 28 points from Jeff Teague and, after losing six of seven, come up with a surprising 109-95 win to stop Brooklyn's seven-game winning streak Wednesday night.
Not Joshing
Josh Smith -- Atlanta's highly paid and oftentimes low-energy superstar -- is suspended by the Hawks on Wednesday afternoon for conduct detrimental to the team.
Falcons' focus shifts to Seahawks, NFL's No. 1 defense
Seattle brings its top-ranked defense — which allowed just 15.3 points per game in the regular season — to Atlanta on Sunday, but Falcons QB Matt Ryan and his offense think they are up for the challenge.
PREVIEW: Despite playoff spot clinched, Falcons look to finish regular season strong vs. Buccaneers
Atlanta — despite being locked in to the NFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round playoff bye — is taking its business-as-usual approach into today's regular-season finale against Tampa Bay at home.
NFL NOTEBOOK: Ryan on career-best hot streak at right time; Ex-Georgia Tech star MegaTron hones in on 2,000-yard receiving mark
Matt Ryan has thrown seven touchdown passes with no interceptions the past two weeks while completing 80 percent of his passes in two wins that locked up the NFC's top playoff seed.
PREVIEW: Falcons look to avenge lone loss to Saints, clinch NFC South title tonight in Atlanta
It seems only fitting that for Atlanta to lock up the NFC South title tonight, it must beat the one team it would probably least like to face: the New Orleans Saints.
Georgia Tech faces quandary: Win ACC title and go to BCS bowl — but lose, and Jackets will have to beg NCAA for postseason spot
Georgia Tech can win the ACC title and get an automatic invite to a BCS bowl, or lose and have to petition the NCAA to allow a seven-loss team play in a bowl --- if any lower-tier bowl will have them.
ACC CHAMPIONSHIP: FSU, Ga. Tech must shake off losses, prepare for title game
The Seminoles and Yellow Jackets limp into the ACC title game after a pair of demoralizing losses to the SEC this past Saturday.
Ga. Tech's Washington: I just want to finish strong
He's been a record-setting QB for the Yellow Jackets, and now Tevin Washington would love nothing more than to close his career with one win in four tries vs. Georgia.
Falcons on fast 9-1 start: Not satisfied
Despite owning the NFL's best record, the Falcons are constantly trying to find ways to get even better, and that was evident recently when they parted ways with one-time star linebacker Ray Edwards, whose dismal play was even holding a 9-1 team back.
Georgia Tech hoping star RB Smith can go vs. UGA
Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson hopes when he calls Orwin Smith's number on Saturday against rival Georgia that the Yellow Jackets' star running back is ready to return from injury.
Bulldogs are on the rise after Alabama loss
Georgia's Bulldogs are on the rise in the national picture after beating Auburn and watching Alabama lose to Texas A&M.
PREVIEW: With four starters back, UGA begins 2012-13 season at home tonight
Led by Kentavious Caldewell-Pope and three other returning starters, the Georgia men's basketball team looks to rebound from a disappointing 15-17 season last year when it opens the 2012-13 season today in Athens.
PREVIEW: Jackets to rely on big men Miller, Holsey in 2012-13
Daniel Miller and Kammeon Holsey will lead the way for the Yellow Jackets this season, which begins tonight.
Falcons' next challenge: stopping Brees
The Falcons may be undefeated, but this week they face New Orleans and Drew Brees, who is 10-2 against Atlanta since joining the Saints.
With WRs Bennett, Brown out, UGA looks down its depth chart
Heading into Saturday's huge game against Auburn, the running game may take center stage with two of UGA's key receivers out.
Richt to players: 'Get your jaw set'; Bulldogs lose Brown for rest of season
Georgia coach Mark Richt tells his players there's no letting up now with only Auburn standing between them and an SEC title game berth against Alabama. (ADDS: breakout item on Bulldogs losing receiver Marlon Brown for the rest of the season with a knee injury).
Bring on Auburn
With Saturday's 37-10 win against Ole Miss in the books, all that stands in Georgia's way of a date with the SEC title game is lowly, two-win Auburn next week.
PREVIEW: Bulldogs: We hear the whispers — but there won't be a letdown vs. Ole Miss
All Georgia has to do is win its final two SEC games of the season beginning today with a dangerous Ole Miss team that could love nothing more than to ruin the Bulldogs' trip to the conference championship. (ADDS: notebook item on UGA QB Murray being named finalist for Johnny Unitas Award)
UGA defense wary of letdown vs. Ole Miss
One week after being called soft — then responding with a win vs. Florida — Georgia's defense enters its SEC duel with Ole Miss feeling as if it still has something to prove.
Georgia moves up in polls
After beating Florida on Saturday, the Georgia Bulldogs see the results as they move up five spots in the AP Top 25 poll to No. 7, and leap to No. 6 in the BCS.
Only place to go is up
Quarterback Aaron Murray and Georgia have already forgotten about the team's dismal performance at South Carolina and has used the bye week to sharpen every area of the Bulldogs' game — especially the offense, which struggled mightily in a 35-7 loss to the Gamecocks the last time out.
UGA plans to address defensive struggles during needed bye week
Georgia's defensive lapse last week against South Carolina has the Bulldogs' leaders on "D" working hard during the bye week to correct the mistakes.
Georgia, Georgia Tech hoops hold tipoffs
Experience on both rosters is expected to be what takes Georgia and Georgia Tech's men's hoops teams to the next level this season.
Georgia Tech looking for answers on defense
A crushing loss to Miami in overtime — followed by an embarrassing loss to lowly Middle Tennessee State — has the Yellow Jackets officially pushing the panic button in Atlanta.
Braves make history in Chipper's farewell
The Braves win their 23rd straight Kris Medlin start with a 6-2 victory against the Mets on Chipper Jones' final regular season home game.
#5, 5-0
The fifth-ranked Bulldogs hold on in a wild one Saturday to beat SEC East rival Tennessee, 51-44, to remain unbeaten at 5-0.
PREVIEW: Falcons look to stay perfect vs. divisional foe Panthers
Matt Ryan and the Falcons put their 3-0 record on the line today against Cam Newton and Atlanta's NFC South foe, the Carolina Panthers. (ADDS: breakout on Falcons' defense thriving on takeaways)
Braves fall to Mets on Duda homer
Lucas Duda hits a three-run homer in the seventh to lead the Mets past the Braves, 3-1, on Friday night.
Braves sweep Marlins as Hanson ends losing skid
Tommy Hanson wins for the first time in eight starts Thursday when he allows just two runs in a 6-2 victory against the Marlins.
Braves keep rolling, shut out Marlins, 3-0
The Braves don't show any signs of a hangover after clinching a playoff spot on Tuesday night. They come right back and shut out the Marlins, 3-0, on Wednesday as Paul Maholm and the bullpen combine to throw a six-hitter.
PREVIEW: Georgia Tech favored to end skid against Miami
After losing the last three in the series, Georgia Tech enters showdown with Miami as a heavy favorite.
It's a must-win for Ga. Tech
In order to avoid falling to 1-2 overall and 0-2 to start ACC play, Georgia Tech is badly in need of a W today in its conference opener against Virginia.
UGA's Gurley turns heads right away
After two breakout games to begin his college career, the future in Athens for freshman running back Todd Gurley looks extremely bright.
Led by QB Lee, Georgia Tech's new crop of stars turning heads
As the Yellow Jackets head into their ACC opener Saturday against Virginia, don't be surprised if backup QB Vad Lee and a crop of young rising stars for Georgia Tech get more playing time than many expected.
Yellow Jackets rebound, roll to easy win, 59-3
Former Deerfield star Tony Zenon doesn't score in Georgia Tech's romp of Presbyterian on Saturday night, but the 2010 Albany Herald Player of the Year does rack up more than 100 yards of offense in the win.
Shake it off
The Yellow Jackets must quickly forget about Monday's overtime loss against Virgina Tech and focus on Saturday and Presbyterian.
Rockies shut out Braves, 6-0
The Braves get nine hits but are shut out by the Rockies, 6-0, on Tuesday night, putting a hurting on their playoff push.
SEASON PREVIEW: Pressure's on for UGA's Murray, defense
The Bulldogs are putting their hopes this season on the arm of star quarterback and UGA record-setter Aaron Murray, as well as their lights-out defense.
UGA's Murray: Wait 'till you see no-huddle attack, Part 2
Georgia QB Aaron Murray and rest of the Bulldogs' offense is ready to run and gun again this season in the no-huddle offense.
Braves held to three hits in 5-0 loss to Dodgers
Braves pitcher Mike Minor gives up one run in seven innings but still gets the loss Sunday against the Dodgers, who hold Atlanta to three hits.
Ramirez's two HRs, Sheets' bad night sinks Braves
Ben Sheets, who had been lights out since returning to the majors with the Braves, gives up four HRs against the Dodgers in a 6-2 loss
Braves whip Astros, close to 2 games on Nats
Thanks to another stellar start from the Braves' Tim Hudson, Atlanta whips up on Houston on Friday night at home, 4-1, while also moving to within two games of the NL East-leading Nationals.

Wolf to Woof: The Story of Dogs
Feb. 15 – Sept. 7, 2014 | $7 adults, $6 Fla. residents and college students, $4.50 child, free for UF students and Museum members
"Wolf to Woof" is the world's largest exhibition on the history, biology and evolution of dogs. This family-friendly exhibit reveals the fascinating history of dogs, their connection with wolves and what makes them man's best friend. Four themed areas feature artifacts, multimedia displays, photomurals and dioramas on wild canines and modern dog breeds. Explore interactive hands-on components such as a "howling area" and "guess what dogs are saying" activity, or go nose-to-nose against a dog's great sense of smell. Learn how dogs have secured a special place in human society as an incredibly diverse and versatile species, serving as hunters, herders, guards and companions.
Exhibit Highlights
- Dogs Come in All Shapes and Sizes
Learn about the incredible adaptability of dogs and how their appearances have changed over time, naturally and due to breeding by humans. Also follow the geographical origins and history of some domestic breeds, wild canines and extinct relatives. This area also includes information from recent studies debating whether dogs originated in Asia or Europe.
- A Little Wolf in Every Dog
Humans have used selective breeding to retain certain wolf characteristics and eliminate others. Explore why domesticated and wild canine species behave the way they do. Compare and contrast the behaviors of wolves and domesticated dogs while exploring human intrigue with dogs.
- Dogs Have Skills to Help Us No one can deny the intimate relationship between man and dog. Analyze this special bond and find out more about how dogs help mankind. Visitors can climb into an avalanche scene to experience what it's like to be saved by a search-and-rescue dog.
- What Can We Do to Help Dogs?
Explore the issues humans pose for dogs and what we can do to solve these problems. Learn about responsible pet ownership, the latest developments in veterinary science, wolf reintroduction to national parks and the fight to save the endangered Ethiopian wolf.
Did you know?
- The domestic dog comes in a mind-boggling array of shapes and sizes from the pocket-sized Chihuahua to a 200-pound Saint Bernard.
- Depending on the job requirements, early breeders bred dogs for speed, stamina, aggression, strength or size. Dogs are also bred for looks and style.
- Dogs first appear in the fossil record about 40 million years ago.
- Today, the American Kennel Club recognizes 178 breeds.
- A dog's fur may raise as a sign of aggression or excitement, or to trap heat when it is cold, similar to human goose bumps.
- Dogs have better night vision, the ability to detect motion and a wider field of view than humans. Humans have better color vision and the ability to see details six times greater than dogs.
- American surgeon Norman Shumway achieved the first successful heart transplant in a dog in 1958.

Lies led to Nelson man's drug quiz nightmare
Updated 12:15pm Thursday 27th February 2014 in News By Wendy Barlow, Court reporter
AN NHS business intelligence developer who reported an innocent couple to the NSPCC and told Crimestoppers they were plotting heroin smuggling, has been spared immediate jail.
Matthew Sundhu, 31, had claimed to the charity that their children were being beaten and left to fend for themselves.
He had then made a fake complaint to the police, alleging the couple were planning to go to Saudi Arabia and swallow drugs to get them into this country, Burnley magistrates heard.
The hearing was told how, as a result, two social workers turned up at the family's home in Nelson to see if the youngsters were being ill-treated.
The couple were investigated as suspected criminals and the father was confronted by customs officers and interrogated about his trip, his finances, drugs and the contents of his luggage in front of his wife and children when they landed at Birmingham airport after a holiday in Dubai.
Baggage was searched and swabs for drugs taken.
No illegal substances were found.
The couple, the court was told, had not been physically abusing their children. They had no connections with drugs and were totally law-abiding.
They were put through many sleepless nights and were left traumatised at Sundhu's hands, simply because there had been a family fall-out.
The defendant, a voluntary youth worker, had started his campaign with a threatening text message, telling the victim he was an idiot.
Sundhu had been given a police warning, but carried on.
The defendant, of Reedyford Road, Nelson, admitted harassment of the couple, on or between July 29 and August 10, last year.
He had no previous convictions.
Sundhu received eight weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months, with 150 hours unpaid work and must pay £85 costs, a £60 victim surcharge and £200 compensation to his victims. The bench, who told him his conduct had caused significant distress to the family, also imposed a year-long restraining order.
Graeme Tindall, for the defendant, handed the bench 'glowing references' on Sundhu's behalf and said he was normally a responsible, God-fearing young man doing good in his family and the community.
Mr Tindall added: "This is an offence which is completely out of character and highly unlikely to occur at any stage in the future."

The organization has only been around since 2003, but already they've made an incredible impact.
The annual gala was a fantastic opportunity to support HealthCorp's mission and celebrate the overall growing awareness of the importance of food education. The gala was also a reflection of the wide range of people that Dr. Oz brings together. Here are a few photos from the night.

Adam Sandler takes it to Sandy at NY benefit show
NEW YORK (AP) - Adam Sandler has a special New York salute to Superstorm Sandy that songwriter Leonard Cohen never would have envisioned.
The comic performed a special version of Cohen's oft-sung "Hallelujah" at Wednesday's Sandy benefit concert in New York. The rewritten chorus says, "Sandy, screw ya, we'll get through ya, because we're New Yawkers."
Sandler wore a New York Jets T-shirt to sing his ribald rewrite. He was accompanied by Paul Shaffer on the piano.
The song mined Donald Trump, Michael Bloomberg, the New York Knicks, Times Square porn and Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez for laugh lines.
Organizers say concert ticket sales alone have raised more than $30 million for victims of the October storm.

I had tried this beer once before at the Kelso Cask Festival a few months back. My mouth was overwhelmed that day by the unholy amount of Green Flash Imperial IPA I was drinking, so I didn't really get it. This time, I really did, on tap at The Gate for a Sly Fox festival.
Ichor is a thick black mass of delicious, lightly carbonated brew. It has fruit, vanilla, and some spice going on and the carbonation is light and tasteful. This beer is really immense at 10% ABV and it definitely catches up with you as you drink it. A nice pint glass full of this really set me straight. Sly Fox shows their strength here in making beers that are balanced yet opinionated, and it was cool to see a Hop forward beer and a Malt forward beer back to back. (Consumed after a Sterling IPA Project IPA). I sat on the Ichor for a while and talked a whole bunch of shit while it just got smoother and mellower, and the heavier aspects crept up as time went on, some caramel appeared, and then fruit took over. Great brew.

A - Very dark mahogany, very little light transmitted, nice head that fades quickly but leaves a lacing on top.
S - Plumbs, dates, lots of dark and sweet fruit aroma.
T - Very much like the aroma, lots of dark malt crystal malts give it some raisin and plumb flavors, but they almost taste candied because of the sweetness...good flavor but the sweetness is approaching cloying as if there is some brown sugar or molasses in there after fermentation.
M - Although there is definitely some left over sugars the body is just moderate and does not finish too heavy.
D - Not without flaw, but a good tasting and easy drinking big Belgian style quad.

Appearance: 1 inch head, dark leather brown in color, clear, high carbonation
Smell: sour apple rind, cardamom, coriander, and other Belgian spices
Taste: sour apple rind and bread—maybe pumpernickel dominate, with some brown sugar cardamom, coriander, and other Belgian spices
Mouthfeel: high carbonation, medium-light body, sweet with a touch of bitterness at the end
Overall: A very enjoyable quad. I love the combo of sugar and fruit. Sly Fox is really becoming one of my favorite breweries. I will certainly pick this up again.

Great packaging Sly Fox is looking good especially since it's a new beer in the Pittsburgh market...taken home and split with a friend...yeah split this one with a friend. Appearance...pours with minimal carbonation the luciously textured cola colored brownish plum hue of the body is paired with a thin large bubbled light tan creamy head leaves behind thin sparse specks of lacing around my chalice. Aromatics are heavy on the anise just like my Italian grandmothers cookies, alcohol infused fruit esters such as plum, raisin, and tart apples, hint of vanilla beans with a spicy finish...very complex. Flavor has a vinous character with more of that tart apple, raisin, over ripened fruit soaked alcohol feel to it, the alcohol isn't burning anything well hidden soft sweetness spiced dark christmas bread with soft vanilla and powdered chocolate notes present. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied carbonation is lacking but does indeed go down very smooth silky presence on the palate. Drinkablity incredibly yet dangerously drinkable seek out a DD for this fine creation out of Eastern PA, I enjoyed it with good company.

2006 vintage in 750 ml bottle, corked and caged. Like the Incubus I just had, there was no real fanfair when I popped the champagne cork but the smell and taste were surely there. The aroma was malty and fruity (figs and raisins). The taste was malty sweetness and deep fruity. The taste of raisins really comes through on the tongue. Like the Incubus, the abv is masked very well although there is a touch of alcohol going down. The active carbonation gives this fine beer a medium body and leaves it pretty drinkable.

After a tiring struggle with the cork, which would not budge no matter what force I applied to it, the thing finally gave way with a very wimpy "pop." Not "pop!!!" but "pop." Nice and polite. Kinda worries me.
Looks healthy enough on the pour, with a thick foamy head that snaps and crackles down to half-size slowly, sitting on top of an absolutely gorgeous dark rusty/ruby-shaded brown. The regal reddish hue turns this into quite the beautiful beer.
Aroma is clearly quite Belgian in character, especially in the yeast department, but the malts also give off a vinous quality that reminds of the best Belgian quads. Lots of grape, obviously, but also other mild fruits, mingling with the yeast in a most pleasing way. Not terribly complex, but quite nice all the same.
Here's one where taste and mouthfeel work significantly hand-in-hand. Flavor-wise this is grape-y, with a strong alcohol warmth that nobody could call "well-hidden", but with the velvet-smooth texture, the mildly funky yeast and the sweet dark fruit, it becomes more like a robust red wine or a sherry: a sweet concoction made exclusively for sipping. A beer that takes on new dimensions and certainly defies many people's idea of what beer is and can be. It doesn't hit you over the head, just pushes the limits in a different way than other big beers.
Tasty, soothing, rich, sweet, well-made and different. You better like grapes and red wine if you're gonna tackle this. The closest comparison I can make is Westvleteren 12, another vinous quad of fine quality. Not only in terms of flavor, but it looks similar, smells similar and has that same dry, sticky finish. I won't hold out for the opportunity to try them side by side, and I'm not saying it's "as good as", cuz it's not, but if you're jonesing for a Westy 12 and can't locate one, join the club and go for this instead.

On tap at Barcade, Brooklyn NY
A - Pours dark brown with really no head at all. Lacing is in faint rings on the glass.
S - Smells of dried sherry, fresh raspberries & cherries, and candy sugar. While initially this had a great aroma I found it tedious the longer I held the glass.
T - Too sweet for the style, and really reminded me of trying to drink a dessert wine. Very sweet from sugary fruit. Tastes of red grapes, and finishes with a slight acidic burn. Just not my thing.
M - Complexity is there but maybe it could have been less sweet and more blanced with subtle malt and a little more caramel or some other sugary flavor that wasn't from fruit. Felt a bit tedious and while I didn't drainpour it I barely finished the glass.
O - Not my choice for a quad. Give Sly Fox credit for the attampt but i'll pass.

Out of a 750ml corked and cage bottle. Pours a ruby brown color with a smallish head that dissipated into almost nothing-ness. The appearance is getting by on color alone. The aroma is of spicy Belgian yeast, candi sugar, figs and prunes and rubbing alcohol. The taste is overly sweet, high on the candi sugar and sweet grape/prune juice. It does have the nice Belgian yeast flavors as well as some raisins and figs. The feel is moderate with fizzy carbonation and finishes sweet and slick. Definitely an alcohol burn going on. This is a Quad that makes it half way to greatness. It has some nice phenols going on, could use some more of a roasted malt presence which would offset the sweetness. The alcohol needs to settle in a bit, not sure if aging would help. In its current state it is too sweet and boozy.

Sly Fox Ichor opens without much release and pours up nearly flat. Bad corks? Maybe a wisp of head? Opaque dark brown-burnt mahogony in color. The aroma is very spicy (anise, cardamon, licorice) with lots of dark fruits (burnt raisin, fig, plum). The roast contributions are very distracting and innappropriate per style. Alcohol is prickly hot. The flavor is very one-dimensional with a caramel malt sweetness that never seems quite balanced by the spicy bitterness. Black or chocolate malt roastiness muddles up the rest. Very warming. This medium-full bodied Belgian Quad is overly sweet from the lack of carbonation and is quite honestly a train wreck of bold flavors. Aging probably won't help, but couldn't hurt. I definitely would like to try this one again on draught. Definitely not Greek ambrosia, but certainly worth a try for Quad lovers.

Abbey style quad.
A: Pours a dark ruby red color with a slight off white fizzy head that soon dispersed.
S: The nose was fruity with fresh cherries and faint smoky woody tones along with dried fruit and alcohol.
T: fruity and sweet with fresh cherries, caramel and dried fruit (raisins, prunes). There was a nice Belgian yeastiness as well. Finishes sweet, malty with some candi-sugar sweetness.
M: very smooth and soft carbonation provides a wine like texture and palate on the tongue. A fruity cherry finish with some alcohol warming.
D: Drinks like a wine. Good drinkability and worth checking out but falls short when compared to Belgian quads.

A corked and caged 750 mL bottle.
A: The cork took some time to wedge out and when it did, an barely audible pop indicated a lack of carbonation. The pour reinforced that, with little more than a thin pool of whitish head. The ale is a mirror image for a cup of coffee.
S: The aroma is enough to make up for the lackluster appearance. Sweet candi sugar mixes with dark alefruits (raisins, dates) and a dry yeastiness to really grab your attention.
T: The lack of carbonation accentuates the sweet depth of the body; there are no bubbles to cleanse the palate. The result is a dark licquer-like beer. The spice profile is more candi sugar, distinctive yeast, plum and raisins. The candi sugars take control of the taste early and ensure that they are never subordinate to any other flavors.
M: The mouthfeel is good when you consider the lack of carbonation. The candi sugars and yeast really do a number on the palate.
D: The abv is high. That coupled with no carbonation really impacts the beer. I'll finish the glass but I'd probably pass on another bottle.

Had this beer on tap at Pixel.
Looks beautiful, tough not as much head as you would expect from a belgian style. The high ABV might affect that. Very dark, almost purple, with an off-white head.
Smells like dark dried fruit, plums and figs. There is a nice molasses-like aroma with some chocolatey malt and fruity belgian yeast aroma.
Taste is similar to aroma, however it tastes a little too sweet. Almost like a prune syrup. It is not bad, just a little too sweet and fruity for my taste. The mouthfeel is also thick and syrupy. Not what you want in a belgian, it doesn't have the effervescence that you need in a big belgian like this to help make it lighter. Carbonation was a bit low for the style. As such the drinkability suffered. It felt more like drinking a barleywine than a belgian of any type. All in all it is a pretty good beer. I suspect the bottled version is more appropriately carbonated, and this may simply have been an issue with the bar. However, not having had the bottled version I don't know.

Bottle courtesy of Hopdog: Poured a dark brown color ale with a small foamy head with minimal retention. Aroma of dry sweet fruits and cookie dough is quite nice and enjoyable. Taste is generally lighter then expected with some sweet fruit and light cookie dough being enjoyable but less complex then I would have liked it to be. Body is way too thin for the style and carbonation is very low which doesnt fit the style IMHO. Alcohol is well hidden and I would have to say that this a fair example of the style but better carbonation and fuller body would be even better.

Thanks DmanGTR.
A: Pours a very dark brown, in the glass it is a ruby red color against the light. Not a lot of head, but what is there is white.
S: Raisons, brown sugar, burnt caramel. Some strawberries in there as well. Slightly yesaty.. Definitely Sweet.
T: Now that is delicious. Raisons, caramel, fruit, and brown sugar. Definitely sweet, slightly yeasty, and a little booze.
M: Highly carbonated especially for something that has a bit of a syrup taste to it. Very nice.
D: Very good. A sweet treat that I would seek out again. Perhaps not as yeasty as I would expect from a belgian style, but all in all very good. Now I am going to grab some aged gouda from the fridge, cause it is going to be awesome with this.

I wanted to celebrate since i found a new job to go along with my present one and I had been craving a belgian style beer for a while and I have always saw this beer in stores and never bought it so I hough "what the hell" and bought it.I poured it into a Chimay goblet.
No head what so ever,nice clear red body,no carbonation either.Could this be flat?
Candi sugar,beets,yeast
Syrpy,dues to the fact that it was flat.Some chocolate,candi sugar,beets and plum.
No carbonation at all,very flat,no pop when the cork came out.Sorda thick, watery mouthful.
I would like to try this again but it must have some carbonation to it.I think this has a potential to be a good quad.

dark brown, almost a cola like color with a very hazy and cloudy appearance pretty much obscuring everything inside and making it look a very thick consistency. A very nice three finger high head of tan colored lace came flying up to the top. Very active on the pour would be an understatement, this thing was all over the place.
Aroma was very varied, deep and complex with different hints and small nuances of smell coming through at various different times during the course of the session. The first thing I was able to pick up with a very nice dark fruity aroma. Lots of raisins, figs, plums, and even a touch of grape showing up in here. Very well mixed and balanced between them but leading more toward the sugary notes as it started to warm up. Lots of spice was evident as well right from the start. A sort of odd nutmeg like spice along with a touch of cinnamon, and sugar. Some aromas of oak or other wood like characteristics starting to come through now as well. The profile is really starting to thicken up now and get a bit complex on me. Some light grassy like smells along with touches of earthy grains all floating around in there as well.
Notes of raisins, which were just a wonderful way to start off the whole thing. Deep dark fruity flavors were the norm on this was with prunes and figs lining up behind it, quickly delving it deeper and deeper. A very strong presence of sugar was next up, really pushing through and drying to lighten it up. A touch of something sour playing around in the back, and just briefly showing up in the flavor before diving back down and out of site again. Rolling on some nice earthy, oak like notes starting to come now with spices becoming more and more dominant. Cinnamon and nutmeg, even some all spice and a hint of banana keeping developing it further. The finish brought everything back together again and just kept evolving it and drying you out, making you come back and get another sip so that you could bring it back to where it was before.
Overall, I was quite pleased with the overall flavor and thought that it really developed quite well.

Broke this one out in a tasting with treyrab last weekend...review from notes. It was my first time trying this beer.
A: Dark brown copper color with a thin film of head, even with an aggressive pour. A thin golden lining around the edge of the glass when held up to light.
S: very yeasty, cloves are evident, but most striking is the sweetness! It smells like a big sweet malty sugar ball...which is a terrible image to describe it, but use your imagination...
T: Cidery flavors meld with a yeasty and malty sweetness. Dark fruits complement the flavor, and there is a hint of warming alcohol in the finish.
M/D: medium carbonation and medium to heavy texture. Lighter for a quad, but the alcohol starts to hit you hard towards the end of the bottle. I couldn't drink too many of these without falling asleep.
Tasted again on 7/5/10. Same batch as the first sampling. I bought the bottle at the same time. Usually the aroma of alcohol mellows with time. Not so with this one. The nose is ethanol to the point that it smells like 80 proof liquor. The taste is about the same as it was with relatively little alcohol presence, and the fruits even come out more with age. Dropping aroma to 3.5 from 4.0 initially.

After a rain delay that lasted exactly three hours and 28 minutes, perhaps a Game 3 reset is in order?
Key Fact: The St. Louis Cardinals are beating the San Francisco Giants 3-1 after seven innings.
In the third, St. Louis grabbed a 2-1 lead on Matt Carpenter's home run, and that's where the score remained until bottom of the seventh. With Giants starter Matt Cain on the mound, Shane Robinson grounded out with the bases loaded, pushing the Cards' lead to 3-1. With two outs, Bruce Bochy pulled Cain in favor of lefty Javier Lopez ... but before Lopez could throw a pitch, the umpires finally halted play.
Upon resumption, Lopez returned to the mound and ultimately retired Jon Jay on a grounder to first base, thus keeping the Giants within striking distance.
So after all that, it's Cardinals 3, Giants 1 in the top of the eighth inning. Surprisingly, it looks Cardinals closer Jason Motte will be asked to pitch two full innings and save this game.

Thoughts on freedom as we approach the celebration of another Independence Day: From the beginning the Creator allowed human beings their freedom and a free will; they were bound only by the law of his commandment. St. Gregory the Theologian (Orations 14.25 ["On Caring for the Poor"], PG 35:892A) Freedom means being one's own master and ruling oneself; this is the gift that God granted to us from the beginning. St. Gregory of Nyssa (On the Soul and Resurrection, PG 46:101CD) Man is made in the image of God, Who is humble but at the same time free. Therefore it is normal and natural that he should be after the likeness of his Creator -- that he should recoil from exercising control over others while himself being free and independent by virtue of the presence of the Holy Spirit within him. Those who are possessed by the lust for power cloud the image of God in themselves. Archimandrite Sophrony (His Life is Mine, Chapter 9; St. Vladimir's Seminary Press, 73) The idea of … [Read more...]
