The Moreland Commission members wanted an independent writer for what would be their one and only report. Instead, they got a Cuomo staffer after their selections were rejected by the second floor.

Fourth Time's a Charm For Indys And Hanna
Apr 14th - 1:22 pm
Posted by Liz Benjamin in Independence Party
Rep. Richard Hanna, who is facing primary challenges from two fellow Republicans this June, announced today he has been endorsed by the state Independence Party for the fourth consecutive election season.
The Independence Party previous backed Hanna in 2008 – his first run for Congress in which he narrowly lost to then-Democratic Rep. Mike Arcuri – and in 2010, when he challenged Arcuri a second time and won. (That year, there was a bit of a controversy over the Indy nod, but Hanna did end up getting to keep the coveted third party line).
In 2012, the Indys again backed Hanna, who easily fended off a primary challenge from Michael Kicinski. Kicinski is running again this year, as is Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney, creating a three-way primary for the GOP line. No Democrats filed petitions to get onto the November general election ballot.
During this year's petition process, Hanna submitted nearly 1,750 signatures for the Independence line (Row E) – more than 550 signatures more than the minimum 1,187 requirement, according to his campaign.
"It is a privilege to once again run on the Independence line," Hanna said. "Since 2008, I have proudly been endorsed by the Independence Party, and I look forward to again being its candidate this November."
The Republican Party leaders in NY-22 have backed Hanna, who is so far the only one of the three candidates to have landed a third party line, ensuring himself a spot on the general election ballot even if he loses the June 24 primary.
Tenney was endorsed by the Conservatives, but didn't submit a sufficient number of signatures to get onto the line. Both she and Kicinski still could create their own independent lines by circulating petitions yet again. Tenney will also have the option of seeking re-election to her Assembly seat if she loses the primary, thanks to the fact that legislative leaders in Albany couldn't agree on a primary date that would merge the congressional and state-level contests.

Conservatives Back Stefanik In NY-21 (Updated)
Apr 11th - 3:25 pm
Posted by Liz Benjamin in Conservative Party
The state Conservative Party has given its nod to Elise Stefanik, one of two Republicans contenders (as of today) vying for the North Country House seat of retiring Democratic Rep. Bill Owens, ensuring her a ballot line in the November general election regardless of the outcome of the June GOP primary.
In a statement released by Stefanik's campaign, state Conservative Chairman Mike Long praised her "energy" and "enthusiasm" and said she has "the principles to bring about the changes necessary in the halls of Congress."
"She will fight for what is right for the citizens of New York's 21st, the military at Fort Drum, stand firm for our Constitutional rights and protect our natural resources for future farmers and generations to come," Long continued. "Elise Stefanik will be your strong voice when she gets to Congress and will represent you with honor and integrity."
Stefanik has now been officially endorsed by officials in both the Conservative and Republican parties – a blog to her primary opponent, Matt Doheny, who ran on both lines two years ago in his second failed attempt to unseat Owens. Doheny did not have the Conservative line for his 2010 run. The party instead endorsed Doug Hoffman, who lost to Doheny in the GOP primary that year and dropped out the race, but too late to have his name removed from the general election ballot.
Because neither Stefanik nor Doheny is a registered
Republican Conservative, they both needed formal permission – known as a Wilson Pakula – from the Conservative Party in order to run on its line. Stefanik's press release announcing today's endorsement makes clear that as a result of this decision, there will be no primary battle for Row C.
Also today, Tea Partier Joe Gilbert confirmed to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise that he is dropping out of the GOP primary, due to "family reasons." Gilbert said he may still seek independent petitions to run on the Constitution Party line. The minor party does not have official party status and, according to the ADE, has had problems with ballot access in the past.
Gilbert's departure from the race leaves just Stefanik and Doheny duking it out for the GOP line.
On the Democratic side, Steven Burke, a town councilman in Macomb and former St. Lawrence Democratic Party chairman, and Brooklyn filmmaker Aaron Woolf have both filed petitions to run on Row A. The Democratic county chairs have endorsed Woolf. UPDATE: I'm told by Woolf's campaign that he hasn't lived in the borough of Brooklyn for some time, but he does reportedly split his time between "New York City" and Elizabethtown, and says he considers the latter his primary residence.
UPDATE: Doheny released a statement in response to Stefanik's endorsement by the Conservatives, calling it a "shocking" move by party officials that ignores the will of rank-and-file members who signed his nominating petitions and backed him two years ago.
"In denying conservative voters in the 21st Congressional district a choice, the party insiders and their Washington based power brokers have subverted the clear will of the people," Doheny said. "Our campaign received the support of five county committees and incredibly almost 1 out of every 5 conservatives signed our petition. In 2012, as the Conservative Party nominee I garnered 12,000 votes on the line and I'm no less a conservative today. The sad fact is the Executive Committee of the State Conservative Party is just another Big Brother."
Dohney has been endorsed by the state Independence Party, which means he also has an assured spot on the general election ballot should he lose the GOP primary.

In taking up where the Moreland Commission left off, US Attorney Preet Bharara didn't rule out looking into reports that Gov. Andrew Cuomo unduly influenced the commission's work.
In a rare moment of public rebuke of the governor, Bharara said: "If you begin investigations and you begin them with great fanfare, you don't, I think, unceremoniously take them off the table without causing questions to be asked."
Cuomo defended his closing of the commission by saying it was always intended to be a short-term endeavor and he did not intend to create a "a perpetual bureaucracy" to investigate corruption in the Legislature.
Moreland Commission co-chairman Bill Fitzpatrick, Onondaga County district attorney: "Would I like to continue? Yeah, but it's not my choice, it's the governors choice. That's his decision and I respect the governor."
The New York Times accuses the governor of breaking his word to New Yorkers by pulling the plug on the commission, saying: "We're still waiting for a government we can trust, but Mr. Cuomo has moved on."
Seeking to recapture the energy that propelled him to victory last November, NYC Bill de Blasio marked his 100th day in office with a rhetoric-heavy speech that called on his supporters to help him create a "people-powered government."

My husband can't wrap his head around that as I'm growing with our child, his ambition for sex is very withdrawn. He won't exactly tell me why it's different and feels different but yet he is still very insistant that he is attracted to me. It breaks my heart. If it's not my husband, can anyone help me to undertand?

Me and my boyfriend are in the same boat we went from sex almost everyday to none at all when i told him i was pregnant. It hurts soo much because i feel so alone now when i need him so much. Hes admitted its the baby amd that the thought of having sex botherz him but we havent really talked about. Im afraid he sees me as damaged and that even after the baby comes we wont have sex. I dont know what to do.posted 09/06/2011 by Jessicaadams2010
I also feel bad because as PP have said, I too have fantasized about other men. I love my husband and am very attracted to him but my needs for sex and affection aren't being met. I've dreamed about ex's, friends, strangers... and caught myself daydreaming or just looking too hard at attractive men in public/on tv! But I did read that the dreaming thing at least is quite normal especially while pregnant and feeling unsatisfied; I don't recommend mentioning such dreams to your husband however.posted 06/13/2011 by abiw137
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one thats so frustrated! My husband and I have only been married 9 months and theres always been a difference in sex drive (I want it multiple times a day, I got it maybe 3-8 times a month). Since I got pregnant (I'm 17 weeks) its even worse. When we do try to be intimate its because I've begged for it or caught him w/ a random hard-on and I feel like I have to force it almost. He'll say that hes up for it but then just lay there, won't makeout, won't do foreplay... I've tried talking to him about it because I just feel totally frustrated and hideous, even told him I was ok with just making out/touching or whatever without intercourse. He says hes not freaked out by the baby, hes tired, or sore, or has to get up early and I should go use one of my toys. ITS NOT THE SAME!posted 06/13/2011 by abiw137
My husband tells me he's "scared," and i don't respect him when i try to at least be somewhat intimate, like making out, and one time he said i was getting "annoying." I feel like killing my husband for this. And like one of you girls mentioned, he watches porn (behind my back) and when i catch him, i'm at fault for going through his things. i have urges too, much more than him, and unlike him porn does nothing for me. all of this makes me feel so unattractive and that he has someone on the side. its really destroying me.posted 05/21/2011 by nymommy327
I'm figuring ou that with men, sex and love are not in the same catagory. For a woman, sex is all about loveing your husband, and feeling his touch. For a man it seems they need a visual. (and the egg shaped body is a turn off) yea it sucks, but if it was about love, and wanting to be with their wife, the round body wouldn't matter would it. They are too caught up in the whole visual thing, they can't get over themselves.posted 04/18/2011 by jayda406
Im having the same problem. Im only 16 weeks and my boyfriend has'nt had sex with me in 2 weeks. I get mad because I want to and he dosent. He tells me that it dosent feel right to him. But before I found out that I was pregnant we use to have sex almost every other day and now its like every 2 weeks if Im lucky. I hate it. I just hope after the baby it goes back to how it use to be.posted 04/06/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Im almost in tears. I felt like i was the only woman going through this. I have felt so alone and hurt by my husband. No sex at all during the pregnancy. Caught him masturbating to a porn dvd, which i hate them and he knows it. I was so hurt and upset by it. He told me the same thing.. "i don't want to hurt the baby, i think i might poke her head if we have sex".. you name it, i heard it. After the baby was born, no sex for three months, even after that, he just didn't seem to want me sexually anymore. Still doesn't. The sex is terrible.. in and out within seconds it seems. Found more porn recently. He says it isn't me, it that he is having a hard time being interested in sex. Ya, duh. How am i not suppose to feel hurt, alone, and not suspicious that he is cheating on me when he acts like i don't even exist. I don't know how much more i can take. Marriage counceling is in the near future. Word of advice. Better try and fix it fast while your pregnant or it just gets worse.posted 03/27/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
My husband was the same way as soon as he found out the sex. He said he didn't feel comfortable having sex because he felt weird, as if he was invading on our son's space. He didn't like the idea of our baby being able to feel us having sex. I understood his feelings and tried not to take it as him not being attracted to me. After I had our son and was cleared by the doc. things went back to normal. It's probably something like that for your husband. Maybe you should ask him if that's what it is and tell him how he has been making you feel. Maybe it will help. Good luckposted 02/21/2011 by Lunee17

Cycling Becomes a Cleaner Sport, Not a Safer one.
New York Times, Oct 15, 2012. Click here .
New York Times, Oct 15, 2012. Click here .
Cycling has always been a part of my life. As a boy my dream was to become a professional cyclist who raced at the highest level in Europe. I achieved my goal when I first signed a contract with the United States Postal Service Cycling team in 2002. Soon after I realized reality was not what I had dreamed. Doping had become an epidemic problem in professional cycling.
Recently, I was contacted by United States Anti-Doping Agency to testify in their investigation into the use of performance enhancing drugs on the United States Postal Service Team. I agreed to participate as it allowed me to explain my experiences, which I believe will help improve the sport for today's youth who aspire to be tomorrow's champions.
After being encouraged by the team, pressured to perform and pushed to my physical limits I crossed a line I promised myself and others I would not: I doped. It was a decision I deeply regret. It caused me sleepless nights, took the fun out of cycling and racing, and tainted the success I achieved at the time. This was not how I wanted to live or race.
In the summer of 2006, I never doped again and became a proponent of clean cycling through my writing and interviews.
From 2006 until the end of my career in 2012, I chose to race for teams that took a strong stance against doping. Although I never confessed to my past, I wrote and spoke about the need for change. Cycling is now a cleaner sport, many teams have adopted anti-doping policies and most importantly I know a clean rider can now win at the highest level.
I apologize to those I deceived. I will accept my suspension and any other consequences. I will work hard to regain people's trust.
The lessons I learned through my experiences have been valuable. My goal now is to help turn the sport into a place where riders are not tempted to dope, have coaches who they can trust, race on teams that nurture talent and have doctors who are concerned for their health. From direct experience, I know there are already teams doing this but it needs to be universal throughout cycling.
Progressive change is occurring. My hope is that this case will further that evolution.
The Montreal Grand Prix was officially my final race as a professional cyclist as I will not be racing in Italy this week or China in October because the arm I broke in August has yet to fully heal. During the race in Montreal, it became increasingly painful and swollen around the fracture, plate and screws. I hoped it would improve with a few days of rest but almost three weeks later it is still bothering me. The risk of falling and re-fracturing it in another race it is too great. The Montreal GP was a race day I will remember fondly and nice place to finish my career. It was a well organized race, on home turf, in front of my family, friends and supporters that was capped off by my teammate Lars-Petter's fine victory.
After a lifetime of bicycle racing and experiences that have taken me around the world, introduced me to my wife and my closest friends, I am ready to retire as a professional cyclist. 2012 will be my last racing season. The Tour of Beijing will be my final race. Cycling will forever be my passion but it is time to change direction to spend more time with my family. I've reached a period in my life where I want to grow in other directions and experience some of what I had put on hold while racing.
As a boy, I was fortunate to have supportive parents who surrounded me with a nurturing community. Through the most challenging moments in my cycling career and life, my family has been the safety net that gave me the confidence to persist. Firstly, I must thank them for their unwavering support and love. My wife, Dede, a retired professional cyclist, supported my career and goals and understood the sacrifices a cyclist's family must make.
Through my 14 year professional career I've been fortunate to race with many of the top teams. From my first coaches and clubmates to Dave Brailsford and my Team Sky teammates I've had the opportunity to race and learn from many of the best. The last three years on Team Sky has been ideal on every level. Racing is the job I dreamed of doing. I must thank my teammates, coaches, and rivals for making the job satisfying and memorable. The emotions after crossing the finish line, sitting on the bus with teammates and recounting the day will be hard to recreate.
Many of my fondest memories involve the bike but reach far beyond races: riding through the parks with my mother on the way to school, riding with my father, uncle and aunt through Provence, riding with my wife in the Rocky Mountains, and teaching my sons to ride their bikes. On the bike, our relationships developed. That will continue long after I retire as cycling will always be a part of me. Cycling has given me something that reaches far beyond finish lines and race results. Over the last year, as I've thought of retirement and reflected on my career, this has become increasingly clear. The racing journey has been a thrill but the cycling journey will continue.
Oh, they're catching them fast now. The gap is only one minute twenty-three.
Hey Dad. You know Froome is the guy that was second in the time trial in London. And was second in the Tour.
He's pretty tall. Taller than his teammates.
Oh that guy in blue from Spain is attacking now. Look how steep the hill is. Sky is chasing.
The commentary continued as passengers formed a line, waiting to board the plane. Dressed in Barcelona Football Club shirts, flip-flops, and dark with tans, most were summer tourists at the end of their vacation in Spain. Now, they were going home to Canada. I was on the same flight as I am scheduled to race in the GP Quebec and Montreal, two one day races which would mark my return after a month away from racing due to another broken arm and another surgery.
Sitting in a row of grey chairs, I listened to the boys who were sitting behind me with their parents. They gave a play-by-play commentary about the race that was being broadcast on the muted Samsung flat screen television. I already knew the outcome. It was a rerun of the Vuelta stage I had seen fifteen hours earlier. While packing my suitcase, I had watched it at home, folding my jerseys and rolling up my cycling shorts. As the splintered peloton raced the last five kilometers up the steep ascent, attacking each other, I screwed a new pair of shoe plates on my cycling shoes and then packed them in my carry-on bag for the trip.
Of course, the racers I watched were friends, rivals and teammates. Mine is a biased view of a bike race. Sitting at the gate, watching the race again with a different commentary, my perspective shifted: it was now an enthusiastic child's. And, through their eyes it became a far more interesting race to watch.
A boarding announcement was made and slowly the line shuffled forward down the bridge and into the plane. The boys, who I now realized were from two families, made no move to get in line. They were fixed on the race as were their fathers. One, who was about my son's age, seven, knew more about the riders and racing than the others. Occasionally, one of the fathers pointed out the riders' gearing or explained who was in which group. But, it was the boys who animated the action we watched.
Their voices had a naïve purity that was lovely. The essence of our sport is often clouded and lost.
In the middle of the peloton we are focused on the goal and our attention is to the details that will get us to the line first. The profession eclipses the purity of sport. From a child's perspective there is little on the screen but bike racers sprinting up mountains. Very likely, the boys didn't know two of the four riders they were watching had been suspended for doping. They didn't know about the internal dynamic within the breakaway, which teams were likely to lose their sponsors, which directors were dishonest, which riders rode dangerously, or even, who would be the likely victor. At home, the boys would ride through their neighbourhoods pedaling like madmen on their far-too-heavy mountain bikes as if they were Froome spinning away in a time trial.
When the broken bone took me away from the bike, a surgeon said that I could race six weeks later. In the hospital bed, sipping on tea and eating cookies, I poked at my iPhone, and studied my race calendar. Eneco was out. San Sebastian out. Denmark out. But in seven weeks I could race in Quebec and Montreal. I had a goal. Experience had taught me that a plan and a goal help me heal.
The crash, the surgery, blood loss and forced time off my bicycle would consume most of the fine form I had developed in the previous two months. My rehabilitation had to be gauged and progressive. First, I went for short hikes with my wife. Then longer hikes up a mountain. Then I began running and riding on the trainer but without holding the handlebars. As the pain in my armed abated I was able to push myself on the bike, feeling a different pain that would bring back my fitness.
Watching the stage at the airport gate, I massaged my arm in the way a dog licks a wound or a child plays with his loose tooth. The ache was almost gone but it still somehow felt soothing. I smiled to myself, as the boys commentary continued, as their voices rose with each attack.
It isn't the job that drives my desire to get back up from each crash to race again but the sport, the fans and the youthful feeling of freedom we all experience when pedaling like madmen.

Harry Zernike, a photographer who publishes 9W Magazine was in Girona a few weeks ago. Here is a beautiful gallery of photos he posted on his site that capture life in the Catalan town and countryside: http://9wmag.com/2012/05/27/girona/
And, a link to another Spotify Playlist I put together for the Tour of Luxembourg: Luxe
A good friend sent this to me some time ago. A lovely couple paragraphs by Roald Dahl.
"It was my first term and I was walking home alone across the village green after school when suddenly one of the senior twelve-year-old boys came riding full speed down the road on his bicycle about twenty yards away from me. The road was on a hill and the boy was going down the slope, and as he flashed by he started backpedalling very quickly so that the free-wheeling mechanism of his bike made a loud whirring sound. At the same time, he took his hands off the handlebars and folded them casually across his chest. I stopped dead and stared after him. How wonderful he was! How swift and brave and graceful in his long trousers with bicycle-clips around them and his scarlet school cap at a jaunty angle on his head! One day, I told myself, one glorious day I will have a bike like that and I will wear long trousers with bicycle-clips and my school cap will sit jaunty on my head and I will go whizzing down the hill pedaling backwards with no hands on the handlebars!
"I promise you that if somebody had caught me by the shoulder at that moment and said to me, 'What is you greatest wish in life, little boy? What is your absolute ambition? To be a doctor? A fine musician? A painter? A writer? Or the Lord Chancellor?' I would have answered without hesitation that my only ambition, my hope, my longing was to have a bike like that and to go whizzing down the hill with no hands on the handlebars. It would be fabulous. It made me tremble just to think about it."
-Roald Dahl, Boy.
In the hospital bed, I tried to recount the crash. Images ran like a film through my head but then suddenly cut as if moments key to putting the sequence together had been edited out. I replayed it countless times, unable to recreate the lost moment. Frustrated, I reached for some more stale cake, trying to satiate my sadness with gluttony. As I devoured the pile of cakes and croissants then slugged down water to wash it all down, my mind shifted away from the challenge. The pain throughout my body faded with the sugar and medicine. Crumbs tumbled to the floor landing on the pile of torn, salt crusted, blood stained races clothes. At the top of the dirty pile were crumpled race numbers. I had been wearing number 13.
Superstition creeps into every athlete's mind as we try to control millions of variables, pressures and fears. Some turn their worries in prayer while others wear lucky bits of clothing, chain a crucifix to their necks, tattoo a saying on their arm, or perform odd rituals. Few riders speak of their superstitions. But in the hotel room, in the bus, on the start line and in the peloton they are ever present. We all try to trick our minds into believing we are not ultimately responsible for our destinies.
Perhaps I could have shifted fate had I only pinned on my unlucky number 13 upside down like so many other riders often do. Considering that, I began recounting everything I had done prior to the start. I had been determined not to believe in chance, that my destiny could not be moved by a number but by my actions. But lying in bed broken and burned, without answers or reason as to why, I suggested to myself, that perhaps I was foolish not to believe in luck.
As a boy, I had a lucky pair of florescent yellow Assos race socks. Their powers related to the fact that I had won a few races while wearing them. The lucky socks soon wore out, were replaced with new ones and I continued to win. I no longer believed in lucky socks, or charms. I was in control.
Then when I was 14 and at a criterium in downtown Toronto, I heard a few pros chatting about their superstitions on the start line while standing behind the barriers. A florescent clad Suburu-Montgomery rider on a pristine Merlin, said he had gone out for a spin around the block the night before at 11:00 p.m. because the mechanic had put a fresh roll of handlebar tape on his bike. To him, new tape was bad luck so he had to break it in with a ride before the race. An hour into the race, he was off the front, winning prime after prime then nearly snatching the victory from the sprinters. My faith in luck returned.
In 1996, a few months before the Olympic Games in Atlanta, a good friend gave me a four leaf clover that I carefully sealed in a tiny Ziploc bag. Then a young underdog few expected to make the team, I kept the clover in my race bag, determined it would help me get selected. With consistent performances I was on the team. And then in the Olympic Road Race, I rode beyond expectations. A year later, the clover had degraded, losing leaf after leaf until I was left with a stem and a tiny bag of dark green dust. Despite the degradation of my lucky charm, my life continued to progress. It wasn't the clover but my determination and faith that made the difference.
Over the years, I've developed superstitions and with time, experience or maturity, my charms or beliefs changed. Crashes happened with or without lucky socks and I won even when I pinned on my numbers the night before a race. Good things happened, bad things happened. But, even with a lifetime of racing experience I still try to control what I can't comprehend or fear with the irrational.
In hospital, I continued to question why I had crashed. Of the 128 riders in the race, why was I behind the guy who lost control of his bike? On the way to the start in the team car that morning, the directeur sportif and the team coach had chatted about injuries in races, medical support, and evacuation. Cyclists rarely talk about the crashing and when they do they'll look for some wood to touch, in the hopes that it will erase their fears. In the car, we spoke frankly and I didn't touch any wood. A fateful error? Perhaps, the words that were spoken had subconsciously affected the outcome of my race.
As the risks increase, we look for more guidance and control. Without clairvoyance and under ever-present pressure to perform, we grasp at luck to control our futures.
But, as Pierre Trudeau, the long time Canadian Prime Minister said, "Luck—that's when preparation and opportunity meet." Whether we place false hope in an old piece of clothing or a rock to deceive ourselves in an attempt to comfort our swirling minds, through each of our actions we are truly in control of our destiny.

Big cheery pie notes on the smell and taste. Very wine like in the dryness and taste. A nice sour backbone, followed by a dry aftertaste. I liked this sour more than I thought from other reviews.
I enjoyed this sour overall. It's a great layer of flavors.

4.43/5 rDev +27.3%
Pours out a brilliant, clear red with a light pink head. Smells of fruit "country" wine, cherries, and grain. Malt body is a bit grainy, but the flavor of fermented cherry is great. Alcohol is extremely well-hidden. Sweet up front, but tart and dry in the finish. Mouthfeel is moderate in body with some prickly carbonation. I'm loving this beer, and I'm having a hard time figuring out the low ratings. Are people expecting sweet cherry bullshit Lindemans?

4.41/5 rDev +26.7%
A - Deep red appearance, cherry tones - no surprise. But not as much carbonation as expected.
S - Some brett/yeast.
T - The sour cherry and fizz work - they were shooting for something different and nailed it. Hints of vinegar but not overpowering. It's refreshing.
M - Fizzy. Not in the glass, but in the mouth for sure.
D - Just really digging this. Like the balance of ale and cherry and not as overpowering in the ABV, either.

4.4/5 rDev +26.4%
22oz bottle, date imprint 140123. Poured into a tulip.
A: Body is a brilliant, crystal clear ruby with a fizzy, pink head that recedes to a thin layer on the surface.
S: Tart cherries on the nose. Hints of grainy malt, but clearly a sour.
T: Some sweet maltiness up front, quickly turns to the tart fermented cherry flavor that dominates to the dry finish. There is some funk in the finish, it's fleeting but it's there...not sure if it is intended or not.
M: Moderate to light body with some prickly carbonation. The finish is soft and smooth, despite being so dry.
O: As some other reviewers have asked, I have no idea where the bad reviews are coming from...the label says Kriek, it's a Belgian sour beer. Is this typical New Belgium? Nope. Is it a proper rendering of the Belgian Kriek style? Absolutely. So it's pricey...so are most really good Belgians. As far as I am concerned this is a PHENOMENAL beer. Well done!

4.4/5 rDev +26.4%
A: The pinkest of pink beers. Crystal clear, much like a red wine, but with a frothy two-finger rose head. Carting this beer around the bar in a goblet is actually somewhat emasculating.
S: A lush explosion of authentic, semi-bitter cherry, like that of cherry pie. Faint yeasty Brette notes. Enticing.
T: Sour cherries upfront, Brettanomyces sour tastes all around. The strength of these two flavors masks any hop tastes that might also be present. Neither the cherry taste nor the Brett flavors are overpowering.
M: Smooth, soft, and pleasant. Dry and crisp like a wine.
D: Surprisingly high, considering it's both soured and 8.0% ABV.
I'm not normally much of a sour beer drinker, but this one is excellent.

Poured from a 22 oz. bomber into a New Belgium (talk about having the right glass!) goblet.
The beer pours out a bright medium red with a thin pink head. Even with little foam, I'm still getting lacing left along the glass.
The aroma is filled with cherries front and center, accompanied by barnyard hay, and an acidic smell. The mouthfeel is thin to medium with high carbonation.
You might expect this to be over-the-top cherries, but the initial flavor is some caramel and even toasty malt briefly, followed by cherries, then next acidic sourness, and a very dry finish.
This is a very drinkable sour beer - I cannot believe that this is 8% ABV! You don't get alcohol in the taste or the aroma.

4.33/5 rDev +24.4%
A - Pours a hazy cherry/cranberry juice color with a fizzy small light red head that fades to nothing. No lacing going on.
S - Smells of sour cherries, vinegar, and funky yeast.
T - Sour cherries, vinegar, earthy funk.
M - Super carbonated. Crisp and fizzy.
D - Excellent. Very refreshing.

4.33/5 rDev +24.4%
A - Pours with a small, not quite one finger, head of white foam with a tinge of pink. The body is a deep, reddish brown with good clarity. The foam settles quickly and leaves only minor lace.
S - A nice aroma of dry, earthy cherries with some pilsner malt sweetness. A little bit of spicy, sour funk in the background with notes of pepper and lactic tartness.
T - Light tartness up front with sour pie cherries and a bit of bready malt. The cherries resolve further around a light herbal hop note in the middle, and while this creates a bit of cough syrup character it isn't as offensive as it sounds and it makes the cherries taste more rich and pie-like. Finishes a bit more tart with moderate malt thickness, light funk, and lots of cherry character.
M - Somewhat thick, syrupy body, moderately high carbonation, and a slightly dry finish.
D - This is a nice drinkable beer with definite lambic/ real fruit character that could serve as a great introduction to the style for a novice. The lambic character isn't as intense as a traditional Kriek, but the fruit is very nice, despite a minor note of cough syrup in the middle. I am not sure why this hasn't been reviewed better than it has been, but I certainly enjoyed it. It was a bit on the expensive side for a beer that was only 55% lambic, but I picked it up at a store that marks its beer up too much IMO, so it may be more reasonable elsewhere. Overall, it is a very drinkable beer that retains a lot of the depth of its base; it is almost a sessionable lambic.

4.3/5 rDev +23.6%
Poured from a 22 oz. bottle into a New Belgium Globe glass. 2014 Bottle.
Appearance: Pours a nice deep ruby red with a moderate amount of bubbles. About one finger of pink head which slowly recedes into a thin patchy layer. Leaves a decent amount of lacing.
Smell: A fruity, sweet. and fairly tart aroma with big hints of cherries, oak, and acid. Huge aroma of tart and sweet cherries throughout with some hints of berries, green apple, and strawberry rhubarb. Fruit aroma is fairly jammy and tart with mild sourness. Hints of vinegar, funk, and acid. Oak barrel comes through. Pale malt background with hints of wheat, lager yeast, caramel, grains, cracker, and biscuit. A very good aroma.
Taste: Like the smell, a fruity, sweet, and tart fruit forward taste with big notes of cherries, yeast, and other fruits. Upfront big jammy taste of sweet and tart cherries along with other juicy fruit notes including green apple, berries, grape, and strawberry rhubarb. Funky and acidic notes along with some vinegar and sugar. Barrel notes of oak. Bready pale malt with some notes of caramel, wheat, cracker, lager yeast, biscuit, and grains. A very good fruity taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a medium to high level of carbonation. Creamy, juicy, and fairly tart. Sweet but finishes somewhat dry. Alcohol heat is hidden well.
Overall: A very good take on a Lambic. Good fruity notes with a balanced tartness and sweetness.

4.25/5 rDev +22.1%
22 oz bottle poured into a New Belgium globe.
A - Transatlantique Kriek pours a stunning ruby red color with brilliant clarity! I mean, this beer is RED! A tall but fleeting cap of pastel pink foam rests on the beer, gently draping delicate lace on the signature glass.
S - Oddly, the aroma doesn't scream "kriek" with either fruit or funk; instead, Transatlantique Kriek has a subtle aroma of acidic tart cherry skins and crushed black cherry pulp. Trailing closely behind is a mild, approachable nose of wild yeast funk; just a hint of barnyard/horse blanket and a wonderful dry tartness.
T - At 8% ABV, this is a bit bigger than a standard kriek, and it shows through in the flavor and body with it's maltiness. Dry crystal sweetness peeks through with notes of toast before the shift changes to real cherry fruit and the same subtle funk the nose offers. This is no cough-syrup beer, the cherries taste fresh and real; tart and acidic, not sweet, and the mild yeast compliments the fruit well with a nod to the funkier Belgian beers.
M - A decent level of malt elevates the alcohol in this beer while keeping the body more medium but a higher level of carbonation also aids in the feel's "lightness". Very dry, there's just a touch of acidic tartness to the finish; pretty light for a kriek, though the ever-so-slight metallic hint at the end is more what bothers me.
O - New Belgium's Transatlantique Kriek is an excellent entry-level kriek that completely abandons the sugary "fruit beer" notion and focuses on engaging real cherry flavor and tartness with very subtle yeast funkiness. It's approachable and enjoyable. So when I say "entry-level", it means die-hard Belgian kriek fans may find themselves disappointed in the lack of yeast funkiness and sour bite to the finish, but by no means is this anything less than awesome.

The Syrian sculptor Wael Kaston is believed to have been tortured to death in a secret prison in Homs, western Syria, according to the US-based, non-profit Syrian Expatriates Organization. His body was returned to his family from a military hospital in Homs. His funeral was held earlier this month in Marmarita, north-western Syria, where Kaston was born in 1966. Many inhabitants are reported to have attended the ceremony, dressed in mourning.
Kaston's work centred on expressing the "freedom of women", according to a report by Al Arabiya news. The Syrian Expatriates Organisation quoted an interview with the artist in which he explained his preference for mud and wood as materials over stone. "The first is the human-being, because we emerge from mud and will end in mud; and the wood because it is the closest to us, born gently, reach adolescence vigorously, die wisely."Kaston showed in galleries in Homs and Marmarita. He leaves a wife and two sons.

Cruz told MMA Fighting on Friday that while he couldn't conclusively say what the injury was, he believes it to be similar to one he suffered on his left hand after a successful WEC 53 title defense against Scott Jorgensen at WEC 53 in December 2010. That resulted in a broken hand that required a soft cast for six weeks followed by extensive rehabilitation.
Cruz said he hurt his right hand early in the first round of his UFC Live fight with Demetrious Johnson last weekend, but he still won decisively, earning a unanimous nod from the three judges.
"My hand was hurting real bad," said Cruz, who currently has the middle and ring fingers of the hand taped. "I don't know exactly when it happened. It's hard to say because when you're fighting, the way I work, you keep going. It's not an option to stop. You go until the fight's over and figure out a way to make it work. That's what happened."
Cruz (19-1) has held the bantamweight belt since March 2010, successfully defending it four times, more than anyone else.
That place in history was among the many motivating factors for Cruz to continue on in the bout, suggesting that to surrender to injury would be something that would haunt him long after his fighting days are over.
"It's a long time, but it's five rounds for the rest of your life," he said. "It's something you'll remember for the rest of your life. Am I going to say, 'Ow, my hand hurt and I'm done? No. It's for the rest of my life. You only get these opportunities a few times in life. You have to tough it out."

here, I noted that cycle photography is not an exact science. Part of that is that, the best one can say about the camera in the iPhone is that it isn't as bad as the camera in the iPhone USED to be. No zoom & a delay in the shutter. Still, it's a poor workman that blames his tools. Seems I said THAT before as well. Anyway, for your viewing pleasure, ChipSeal in all his glory, as you've not seen him in the past.
