Entries in Victoria Azarenka (53)
Wimbledon Recap: Day 1
One at the time...shot...point...game...set...match..... pic.twitter.com/ljZF7puVFv
— victoria azarenka (@vika7) June 23, 2014
Victoria Azarenka's back and winning! After her straight sets win she talked about how happy she is to be back playing and pain free. "I was just really happy to play. It's a beautiful court. It's a beautiful tournament." We are happy to have you back too, Vika... and love the return of the shorts!
Roland Garros Recap: Day 5
The problem with Sunday starts is that by the time Thursday rolls around the schedule is looking a little bit thin. But that's Ok, because Roger Federer wore this hair to training to keep us entertained. We're taking bets as to which one of his kids styled it.
Victoria Azarenka Out of French Open
Oh no! Victoria Azarenka announced today that she will miss Roland Garros due to a persistent foot injury.
"Unfortunately I will not be able to compete in Roland Garros this year. Working hard on my recovery & getting back on the court," she said on Twitter and Facebook.
Vika hasn't played since Indian Wells, and while we are excited about Roland Garros which starts this Sunday, it won't be the same without her.
Get better soon, Vika!
Is Vika Engaged To Redfoo?
Victoria Azarenka posted this picture to her Instagram and Twitter accounts today... and that is a mighty big ring on her ring finger. Could it be that she is engaged to the man we all love to hate, Redfoo?
I'm not sure. It kind of looks like an engagement ring and it kind of doesn't. It'd also be a pretty weird way to announce your engagement, but she must have been aware of how it'd look when she took the photo. In Australia Vika joked that her engagement ring would have to be bigger than her friend Caroline Wozniacki's ring. This one might fit the bill.
However, it is April Fools Day.... Looks Vika is going to keep us all guessing for now.
Caroline #Wozniacki shows off her engagement ring after victory on Day 2 #ausopen #wta pic.twitter.com/9xaQewds0K
— Sudeshna Banerjee (@SudeshnaBanerj1) January 15, 2014
Serena, Azarenka, Monfils and Redfoo Do Karaoke
Serena Williams, Gael Monfils and couple Victoria Azarenka and Redfoo indulged in some Karaoke before their charity exhibition. 'Vika For The Cause' benefited the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles and featured a match where twenty lucky people had the chance to play tennis with the pros. Vika followed that up with a youth clinic where her and the other players gave kids coaching and hit with them. I'm thinking the tennis was probably of a higher quality than the singing!
Tennis Turns into a Contact Sport Between Sloane Stephens and Victoria Azarenka
For someone who said this in 2012....
"I love Vika. You could tell me she sucks toes, I wouldn't care. She's been nice to me since I met her for the 1st time." -Sloane, to me '12
— Lindsay Gibbs (@linzsports) January 20, 2014
.....there was definitely no love lost yesterday between Sloane Stephens and Victoria Azarenka, because in their quarter-final match at the Australian Open they exchanged some serious body blows. Sloane went for Vika's "lady bits" and then Vika said, "OFF WITH HER HEAD!"
So what happened since 2012? First, Sloane made a huge ranking leap, and then there was the drama at the 2013 Australian Open when the two played in the semis and Vika took a controversial medical time-out and then went on to win the match. Anyhoo, go ahead and press play to see the ladies, who happen to share an agent, try to take each other out. Gotta love the drama!

America's annual tax reckoning is here once again and for many who have yet to file their federal tax return, that means a mad dash to beat Uncle Sam's deadline.
The Internal Revenue Service already has received nearly 100 million tax returns, but anticipates getting about 35 million more by the midnight Tuesday deadline.
Many other taxpayers, however, are opting for plan B and asking for more time to file.
The IRS expects roughly 12 million taxpayers will make such a request before the tax filing deadline, enabling them to take an additional six months — until Oct. 15 — to prepare their tax return.
Getting started late and rushing to file can lead to headaches, particularly if you haven't organized the various receipts and forms, such as bank statements or W-2 forms that you may need to complete your return.
"When you sit down to do your return at the last minute, if you're realizing you're stuck, don't know what's happening or have an unexpected result and need more help, the best thing to do would be to file for an extension," said Lindsey Buchholz, a principal analyst at H&R Block.
If it looks like you're not going to make the deadline, and you owe unpaid taxes, it pays to ask for more time. That's because if you miss the deadline and fail to ask for an extension, the IRS will hit you with a monthly penalty of 5 percent of your unpaid tax balance. The quickest way to request an extension is to fill out the automatic extension of time to file - Form 4868 on www.irs.gov . It's also available through most tax preparation software.
Extension requests via mail must be postmarked by Tuesday to be considered on time. Forms filed on the IRS website or by using tax software can be sent in as late as 11:59 p.m. EDT on Tuesday.

Amazing 1800's mansion converted to B&B. Incredible decor, rooms as large as a small house and the most courteous staff I have ever encountered.Each room of this old mansion was decorated individually. Heavily decorated with period antiques, the rooms were massive. The bathrooms, while small, had an original 6ft. claw bathtub. This is the first Bed and Breakfast I have stayed where the breakfast was not included, but the breakfast was very reasonable and individually prepared. The staff was most polite and the history lessons on the property were informative and interesting. We will certainly stay there again.

Lot of open space, location, proximity to local amenities.
The doors need to be renovated. The luggage carts need to be at the entrance door not inside a locked room. Security/staff need to be quick when called in to assist a guest and not take their sweet time. Luggage carts need to be tracked and brought back.Wifi wasn't bad. Open areas but this hotel had other conferences going on and it was somewhat crowded. People at breakfast looked mostly reserved and not very friendly. Breakfast was your standard chemical powdered egg beaters, sugary artificial flavored juices, high fructose corn syrups and most stuff with hundred+ ingredients etc. The only good thing was some healthy options of boiled eggs but can't guarantee its organic. Well the only other good part was they kept Stevia. I just don't understand why hotels try to cut corners by shoving down poisonous factory foods!

The people at the front desk were very courteous and helpful. The room was clean and spacious. We stayed in the standard double suite. We were pleasantly surprised to find the room was equipped with a small refrigerator and microwave.
No complaints.The hotel met our expectations and was reasonably priced.

The breakfasts were great.
There was a hallway door very near our room that banged when someone went through it and it closed.Very quiet (other than the banging door noted above). Although completely booked, there were parking spaces available.
Okay 5.0
Just by luck it was close to my appointment location
The booking called for, and I paid for, based upon the listing, a 'king size bed' which turned out to be 'queen'. Could not check in before 3pm even if my room was ready.

Was put in a smoking room and the stent in the room was overwhelming . Otherwise price was great.
See above
Mediocre 3.6
First time staying at Extended Stay, so in fairness, cannot really say whether or not these things are NEVER included in their rooms; however, we were very disappointed in the lack of a hair dryer in the restroom, and there was not a single plastic cup or glass to be found. They did, however, supply two bars of soap. Just a disappointing experience all around. And the room had a very heavy smoke smell as well.

Rufus and Lily are getting married, but will their special day be ruined by Georgina's evil plan? While we wait for the drama, let's examine Serena's beautiful party attire. Smart of the Upper East-Sider to complement her dark teal chiffon gown with purple patent heels. It adds a spunky twist to her ethereal ensemble, and I like how she furthered her funk with studded bangles. Appropriate, yet Serena scintillating.

Ever. redchick152 4 years lizlee-i agree w/ your post 100%. granted, i dvr'd last nights episode and haven't seen it yet. but this season of GG is getting almost painful to watch. what the heck happened!?! the first season was soooo much better! i HATE that they make serena look skanky...i know she's supposed to be the hot one, but seriously sometimes she really looks trashy!! i do like this dress alot! melissaS 4 years her dress is gorgeous, I like the colour reactionary 4 years does anyone know wher ei can get a dress similar to this in the under 100 price range? wishful thinking, i know, but i'm a broke college student working at a museum and we're hosting a masquerade ball, and this dress is EXACTLY what i'm imagining. lizlee89 4 years this is stunning; although the whole time I kept wanting to TUG IT UP! my goodness; it's like they try to make her look as slutty as possible, even when she's dressed in a more classy outfit (the way she wore it with so little meaning really made me roll my eyes). I'm beginning, once again, to get really tired of Serena. by the way, did anyone else find this episode mind-numbingly stupid and poorly written? it, to me, was insulting how badly this week's dialogue and sequence of events was crafted (if you can call it that) - even what should have been a tender moment; Rufus and Lily finally getting married; was made so convuluted by the presense of Sonic Youth (really; they didn't have anything better to do?! that makes me sad). and Lily made me really dislike her by her pissy little snap at Scott when he interrupted her and Rufus' conversation (there was no reason to speak to him like that, even if her was a stranger eavesdropping) - it made her really look like a bitch. all in all, pretty much every single character made me roll my eyes at how much of a caricature of themselves they have become (even my favorite, Chuck Bass - is it me or has his voice become even more hushed and creepy; like it just doesn't sound natural anymore?). even the fashion underwhelmed; Lily's dress was a "Project Runway" disaster, "Little J," and both her and Blair's dresses were awful! whatever; sorry for the GG bash; I just don't know how much more of this show I will be able to take... qtpie 4 years Love this dress... she looked gorgeous in tonight's episode. 4 years is it marchesa? instyle has it listed as j. mendel. love the dress, want it badly, need to find out where i can get it. 4 years is it Marchesa?

Israel, the West Bank and potentially even Gaza become de facto one state, as there'd be no agreement actually establishing political separation. That means one of two things: either Israel ceases to exist as a Jewish state, or the Palestinians become permanent second-class citizens in an Israel that includes the West Bank and potentially even Gaza. Secretary of State John Kerry, in a taped conversation first reported on April 27th, referred to this second possibility as an "apartheid state."
Arabs will eventually outnumber Jews in Israel-Palestine, if they don't already. For Israel, which sees itself as both Jewish and democratic, this poses an existential crisis. If Arabs outnumber Jews and are allowed to vote, then it's the end of a Jewish state. But if Arabs outnumber Jews and aren't allowed to vote, then Israel is no longer a democracy.
That's the force of the South Africa analogy Kerry and others have used: a Jewish state that represses an Arab majority would feel an awful lot like a form of apartheid. Kerry's use of the analogy is particularly troubling for Israelis, who are concerned about being boycotted and sanctioned in the international sphere in the way that South Africa's racial regime was before its demise.
Israeli conservatives often contest these demographics. They argue that Palestinians overstate their numbers for political reasons and that the Israeli population tends to grow faster than experts think. However, the mainstream view is that Israel's demographic problem is real, and Israel faces a choice between three outcomes: a two-state solution, a non-democratic state governed by a Jewish minority, or the end of a Jewish state.

4.8/5 rDev +27.3%
The Bottle- it is a big ole pints worth of exceptional beer from an extra ordinary brewery that Stone Brewing Company is.
The pour- pours out like any good ole Belgian style beer should like a Trappist with its massive mushrooming head, and deep golden color into any style chalice glass like Chimay with its maelstrom center of spiraling bubbles typical of any Belgian style ale.
Smell- smells like mowed grass on a cool spring day in may.
Taste- holy moely where do you begin, well on the front of the tongue get a big taste of citrus that fades quickly into an effervesce of a tonic and lime or in this case lemon. Which ends in a complex mix of alcohol and tannins that make for a rather refreshing drink so long as you drink it slowly. There is no need to rush this it will be with you for a very long time.
Drink ability- very drinkable just take you time with the best of time and the worst of times.

22 oz bottle
A: Deep golden, copper under a big white head. Some nice lace and nice retention.
S: Smells fruity and spicy. A bit of apple and pear mixed with some sage, a bit of ginger and maybe some pepper. Perhaps a little saison-like hay character as well.
T: Sweet throughout. Spicy and fruity again, with some drying alcohol in the back end. Sage plays the biggest spice role, again mixed with a bit of apple. Saison-like hay is more noticeable in the taste.
M/D: Very nice mouthfeel. Medium to full bodied, carbonation is just right. Body might be a bit too slick for my liking, but that is nit-picking. Excellent drinkability. Overall, a very excellent bear.

This is an excellent example of a good Belgian Ale.
A: Pours a golden body with a small head that dissipates after a few sips but a solid lacing is evident that hold thorughout the whole beer.
S: An excellent, sweet malty smell. Also, ginger, cardamon, grapegruit all seemd ot be evident in the smell as well.
T: The taste was just as exquisite. A nice, sweet malt taste with the spices noted above evident but not overbearing. The alcohol was barely noticeable except for in my bloodstream. Smooth, banana esters were present in the aftertaste that did well did balance the other spices and the malts.
M: A crisp, smooth mouthfeel that was bot anjoyable and refreshing.
D: A very drinkable beer. Good taste, great mouthfeel. The alcohol was barely noticeable and the beer was just fantastic overall. An exceptional brew.

Appearance: This beer was an absolute gorgeous golden honey color. When held up to a light there was a hint of amber. The head was 2-3 fingers, and at an inch over the glass the head refused to drip.
Smell: Smells uniquely similar to Dog's 120 min IPA. The smell was tangy. Very tangy. Tangy and honey sweet. W/ a hint of citrus, and a deep hop.
Taste: Again, tangy. Tangy and Sweet; very similar to 120 IPA. It had deep flavors of honey, citrus, w/ a hint of very ripe pineapple. The finish was kind of buttery and hopalicious. The hops underlayed all of these flavors perfectly.
Mouthfeel: After taking a drink, there was a second foam reaction. I take (huge) gulps, which almost made my cheeks pop. Not sure why this is, maybe I didn't let it set long enough after pouring/opening.
Drinkability: I am more than thankful I have a whole case. The only problem will be resisting drinking them before the summers over. Yeah, that good.

So guess what, it is July 7th 2007 and I have in my hand my first bottle of Stone's Vertical Epic 07.07.07! Hell yeah, this was the first year I was actually able to obtain one, to be able to drink it, by the release date(and by the skin of my teeth, it just arrived today!) Really siked for this as I had been waiting anxiously hopingit would arrive in time. Botle is the sameas theo thers in the series, Ale brewed with spices, and the 07's circling, been awaiting so I shall dive in.
Poured a very cloudy and haze golden amber. Not your pale golden amber, but a nice full, orange tint to it. Great streaming bubbles of carbonation were rippling to the surface through chains from the bottom. A nice one inch head formed immediatly upon the pour, hung around for about a minute then faded and receded back to just a film on top concentrated on the sides of the glass. Some residual lace on the glass was visible during the session.
The smell was highly spiced. Very light, but rich and complex aroma came over you as you took the first smell. Dark fruits, plums, figs, maybe some pear or apple could be detected in the backround trying to make their case known. A definate hoppines was also very much there. A slight citrus twist trying t creep up through the rest of the fruits. Upon warming one could also pick out a fresh cut grass, or earthiness to it as well. Very nice aroma, not as heavy as some of the past years.
Now for the dive in...First impression of the taste, was light, crisp and refreshing with a definate hoppy quality to it. If I did not know better I could almost see this as a belgian IPA. Lots of fruit flavors were readily apparent, bigtime pear flavor as well as some plum could be detected. I also picked up some apple in there. Lots of spices, nutmeg, a banana maybe too... The more you think about it the more you will find, the mark of a finely crafted brew. But the hop was still there, and a nice american citric hop it was, a touch of grapefruit is really what is being picked up here. Nice dry finish, slightly bitter, but more spicey and fruity. Great feel on this. Very light, not slick or oily at all, not watered down, every sip was full of flavor and never dull. Great carbonation helped the flavor simply wash over your tongue and gave it that alive feeling. Well done.
Overall this was sensational. Not apparent feel for the alcohol, very well hidden, made this one extremely drinkable. Not as heavy sitting as the others. This was by far my favorite of the series that I have tried thus far. I am not sure how it will hold up for five more years, but this is definatly damn good now. I would have to say to try it now, and put a couple away if you can. But I dont know how it would improve, just a fine quality beer here.

Poured into a brandy snifter and let decant for about 20 minutes at 45 degrees.
Appearance: A beautiful orange color with a nice amber hue. The clarity of the beer is hazy and there is particles in the bottom of the snifter. The head is a nice rocky foamy white and is two finger and slowly dissipated down to a nice ring around the brandy snifter.
Nose: A nice ripe pear, and orange with a nice fruity ester. There is a nice toasted malt that is nice biscuit aroma.
Taste: There is wonder balance between hops and malt. There a very smooth malt character with an orange and pear flavors. A nice subtle spiciness that is blended well in the beer. There is a biscuit and a toasty hints and a nice sweetness at the end.
Overall: Wow. is all I could say for the first sip. The mouth feel is creamy and slightly carbonated. The finish is slightly acidic and bitter leaving a pleasant finish on the palate. This is why I am Stone Brewery fan. The beer is awesome. The Alcohol is well hidden within the make up of the beer. The beer is well made and I think I found a new favorite style of beer beside Imperials. The balance is so delicate and fine.

Appearance- Nice, slightly orange. Nice, white head with some retention and a decent amount of lacing.
Aroma- Wonderful mix of orangy cirtris, Belgian yeast and a hint of earthiness. Just enough hops in there so you know you're not sniffing fruit juice. Smells very inviting.
Taste- Again, quite citrusy. Tastes great. Just a hint of yeastiness. Not much taste on the front of middle of toungue. Nost of it is on the rear as you swallow. Very interesting. A hint of candy sweetenss in there, and you get a feel for the alcohol as you drink it, but it's not over-powering.
Body- Quite slick. Slides down the gullet very nicely. Perfect level of CO 2 for the style. Okay, maybe a hair more would be nice. It's tought to put a finder on it. Body is medium for the style.
Drinkability- It's delicious, but not very sessionable. If you are just getting into Belgian ales, this is a very good starting point.

1 Pint, 6 fl oz bottle copped from Super Saver in Somerville for $7.99...
Bright orange, tangerine hue with noticeable foamy head that soon receded, leaving lots of lacing around the top of the glass...
Great smell of fresh fruit, nectarines, pears, apple, honey, clovers, and grapefruit...
A very sweet-aroma bursting with freshness and character...
Equally great taste that strongly complements the aroma, with sweet, sugar-laden flavors dancing around the tongue...
Great thick, rich, creamy mouthfeel...
Perilously drinkable with the hefty 8.4% ABV struggling to be noticed behind ultra-rich and sweet, unique flavors and well-balanced with fruity caramel malts and citrus hops...
This is very different from the usual Stone brews that I've encountered...
With Stone, I'm used to sampling very aggressive and in-your-face beers, while this one, although full of plenty of flavor, was more subtle and easy-going...
Very good depiction of the style... Highly recommended...

First had this on tap at the OBF, but for a variety of reasons couldn't do a review based on that (palate overload being the primary one). However, if anything the bottled version is even more impressive, which is what I had the other night.
Pours a rich, honey gold color, with creamy looking head and great lacing. The beer has a very complex nose, funky nose, with honey, butter, ginger and possibly even coriandor all intermingled. In other words, this beer smells fantastic. On the palate the beer is every bit as good. This is a big, almost viscous beer, with flavors of honey, cherry and ginger. It's pretty sweet, and the beer comes across as very, very rich, with a very long lasting, rich smooth finish. Just delicious. The abv. is noticeable, but is not the least bit obtrusive. However, given the abv. and sweetness of the, a little bit of this goes a long way.
A very impressive effort from the talented folks at Stone.
Edit from 3/15/13. Tasted recently during a vertical epic event at Pacific Coast Brewing. Unlike other recent reviews of this beer, I was impressed by how well this beer has held up. I got considerable tropical fruit, citrus (tangerine) and light butter, and I was frankly amazed by how tasty and rich this beer still was. Granted, my current score was no where as high as what I gave it back in 2007, but nevertheless, this beer has held up very well, and was a very tasty beer. There was even still some hoppy bitterness in the finish.

A- Thick tan head on a crystal clear dark orange body. Very little lacing left and head retention wasn't to good.
S- It really smells like what you would imagine a triple mixed with a saison would smell like. A nice size banana mixed with spices and yeast. Grass hops and light cloves, hints of some other fruits like maybe a tiny bit of pineapple and pear? Also alcohol is noticed too.
T- Again the flavor is like the two mixed. You get a banana blended about equally with the saison style of yeast and the spices. Alcohol is noticeable, maybe a little to much on the tongue. Some other fruits make there way in there also with a few other spices. The more I sip on it the better it gets. A dry hop bitterness slowly builds up on tongue.
M- Full/medium body with low/medium carbonation.
D- The more I am drinking the more I like it. I think it may be a tad to hot right now but maybe in about 6 months it will be tasting better. I think it might actually age well unlike some others think. I can see the flavors blending together a bit more and the alcohol not being as hot. Can't wait to find out.

Poured from a 22oz bomber into my New Belgium globe glass. Reviewed on 7/7/07.
A: Pours a deep golden amber color. Not a lot of head and it recedes quickly.
S: Lots of great smells; fruit, spices, and yeast.
T: This thing is like a tripel on steroids. Lots of fruit up front in the form of grapefruit, orange, and apricot. The spices are up next; lots of citrus peel and more prominent spices. All of the tripel flavors that you would typically find but in typical Stone style, they are more amplified. Very flavorful and complex yet at the same time it's still refreshing.
M: Full bodied, a bit thick, light carbonation.
D: I enjoyed the hell out of this beer. I've got another bottle that I'm going to age until 12/12/12 and I'm very interested to see how this thing will change with time. I sure did like it fresh. It's very flavorful and delicious. Another excellent brew from Stone.

I figure one year was all I could wait til I cracked open this bottle and shared it with my brother.
Poured a nice amber color with a thick white head. You could see the carbonation rising to the top rapidly and the ale left good lacing throughout the drinking period.
The aroma was of oranges and grapefruit.
The taste was similar to many Belgian tripels. There was a strong grapefruit flavor, rich malts, and a medium body to it. Not much in the way of hops, but I don't mind!
There was no heavy aftertaste on the palate other than the lingering presence of the alcohol, which was evident in the first taste.
This ale is very drinkable if it weren't for the high abv, but it's so good it would be a shame not to make a night out of it.

Appearance: Golden orange beer with a unique yellowish white head. The head reveals lots of lacing on the sides of the taster.
Smell: Awesome. Ginger was the main aroma and it was sweet. Belgian spices and yeasts were secondary. Thre was also a fresh bubblegum and tutti frutti aroma as well.
Taste: Very estery and spicy with plenty of warming potential. Very interesting. Plenty of ginger flavor, maybe some coriander. Quite refreshing and complex.
Mouthfeel: I love the ginger flavor in the beer. Perhaps that lends itself to the pincy mouthfeel. There is plenty of carbonation to enjoy and this beer is sort of drying.
Drinkability: Not excellent, but this beer is quite nice. Maybe it's too fresh now and would be better consumed on 12.12.12. This would pair extremely well with sushi.

EPIC bottle share with some good people. This one was okay, but I'm only rating this beer as I went into it with an open mind. I'm not into Belgian style beers, but love Stone. Maybe with age it'll get better, but here we go.
A-Light in color with with head. Went down quick. Not too much carbination.
S-Ginger and citrus notes. Hint of sweetness.
T-Spicy in the tongue that dissipates quickly leaving a ginger flavor behind. The hops are still very present, especially for a 3 year old beer.
M-It went down okay. The citrus and spice with mild ginger taste.
D-I have two more that will try as the years go by.
Serving type: bottle/22oz.

Pours a golden color with a nice little fluffy head that resides pretty quick. Just by the looks of it, you can see the full body of this beer. The aroma is sugary and heavily of spices, most notably, cinnamon...interesting. The taste follows the notes of the aroma almost identically except for a bitterness that heightens towards the finish of the sip. The mouthfeel is the area of this beer that I feel, lacked the most. The drinkability is great. Awesome beer...thought it would have better reviews...cant wait to try it in the years to come.
New Addition: Aged one year, compared next to the 08.08.08
Same scores, except for appearance, which went up to 4.5
Aged one year...a slight birth orange color with a nice thick head that leaves hood lace but doesn't have great retention. Much darker...more orange than the 08.08.08. This smells very much like orange juice and cinnamon. The flavor has smoothed out a ton. It is much silkier. A lot of citrus notes and spices, but they have come together very nicely. Awesome beer, especially after one year.

Bottle into VE Glass
A: Pale amber. Small filmy head. Lots of bubbles even though its 3 years old.
S: Sweet. A little leather, grapefruit, cotton candy. overall excellent but hard to describe. Smells wonderful for a 3 year old bottle
T:Wow! Piney hops at the back, Sweet beginnings, a little leather. coriander, sage, thyme. Citrus undertones, supposedly there is ginger but its seems to have fallen out. I wish I had this new.
M: Crisp, not to much carbonation bite.
D: Supprisingly good for a 8.4 ABV beer.
If I had the other bottles starting from 2002 I'd would have kept this one but I don't.

Poured into a Duvel tulip.
My first Vertical Epic. I only bought one bottle, but after tasting this, I may need to get more. Pours a rich amber to orange with a quickly dissipating head that leaves little lacing. The smell is different - there is a cooling, minty component coupled with banana and ginger. Spicy yet soothing. The taste is spicy and sweet up front with a citrus like bitter finish. Mouthfeel is ideal for this - moderately carbonated with an almost syrupy texture. This is an awesome take on the Belgian style - easy to drink and very complex. Delicious! Highly recommended.

This beer poured a light clear amber color and formed a huge foamy white head that coated the glass with lace as it slowly subsided. A heavy amount of carbonation is present. An aroma of malt, banana, grapefruit, and clove. Definitely a Belgian aroma to this beer. The flavor was of malt, caramel, and candy. A very sweet beer, even for a Belgian style. The body is medium light and the finish is slightly astringent and bittersweet with a warming aspect of the alcohol present. Another fine offering from Stone.

Edison Office Tower Heads to Appearance Commission
On Thursday at 4:30pm the Raleigh Appearance Commission will review plans detailing the latest design for the Edison Office building. The building, according to the
The current plan calls for a 17-story tower that is 301-feet high, about 9% taller than the Progress Energy Tower (former City Plaza building). Plans call for the project to contain 417,000 feet of office space, parking garage space for 328 spaces, and 3 ground-level retail spaces, and an elevator lobby fronting Martin Street. There will be 6 combination parking/office floors sitting atop the street-level retail, capped by 11 full office floors.
The Appearance Commission's duties will be light with this project, as they will likely deal mostly with streetscape elements of the plan. One such that needs to be addressed is the standard U-shaped bike racks. A more creative design would give this project and downtown much more character. Perhaps a light bulb shape as a nod to Edison's most popular invention?
The site plan offers much detail about the ground floor and a typical parking floor, but isn't clear about parking access. On the floors with parking, this project will neatly abut the existing parking garage originally built for the block's four corner projects. Perhaps access will simply be from critical access points in the existing structure.
This will be a nice, early century addition to Raleigh, offering some much needed, class A office space to a market that is at capacity. How does the project fall short? Though I really like the Red Hat Tower, this project is a slightly taller duplicate, and will sit one block north of Red Hat. Yes, this project fits the needs of today's market, however this land is one of the few places where an impact tower could be added to fill out Raleigh's "money shot". Given the appearance of this building's crown, this project will add nothing interesting to that view. So in that sense, it is a lost opportunity.
NCSU Unveils New Basketball Court Design
The NCSU Men's Basketball Program this week unveiled a new paint job for their basketball courts in the PNC Arena as well as the Dail practice facility. The court features a two-toned stain, a large Wolfie head, and various small logos.
The design's use of the school's bright red color around the court boundary and a second stain tone inside the 3-point arc do an excellent job of marking the court's important functional zones for the viewer.
Unfortunately, though, the second stain tone is not used in the free throw semicircle, and is inconsistent with the function of that zone. The zone's function is actually consistent with the darker stained area, and thus, should be colored the same way. The current appearance may lead an official or viewer to incorrectly thinking a player is inside the 3-second zone when they are not.
Here is how the corrected court would look:
4-Story Mixed Use Planned For Hillsborough St.
Another piece of the residential component for Stanhope Village will be reviewed by the Appearance Commission on Thursday. According to the

Maybe the Foxes Are Sending "Triangle" a Message
For five decades now the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area has been termed "The Triangle", and for good reason. As three cities/towns hosted the most important academic, medical and business centers, it was only natural to focus on the three entities. While we expected infill in The Triangle, we perhaps didn't see our grown concentrations morph the area into a different shape;
The area's satellite imagery reveals much growth from Chapel Hill and Carrboro toward Raleigh, but Raleigh's growth has been along outward spokes to the northeast, southeast, and southwest. According to the figure, Umstead park appears like a saddle on the little fox, and Jordan Lake looks like a long line of droll from Carrboro/Chapel Hill, the mouth of the dog.
While I'm not assigning any character traits to communities based on this morphology, the shape does spur some interesting questions such as:
- Why hasn't Creedmoor Road/hwy 50 seen any retail development?
- Why has the Apex/Garner axis been kept so rural?
- Why has the Durham/Wake Forest axis been kept so rural?
Maybe these little red foxes that are invading our cities are simply a calling; the new mascots for the area. Instead of "The Triangle", we could be called "The Fox". The airport code could be changed to "FOX". The 10 o'clock news could be the Fox News Hour….oh wait.

TWC Offering Streaming Set-top Box
Last week word leaked out that Time Warner Cable will begin offering the Fan TV set-top box to work with its services this summer. The hockey-puck-sized box will only connect to your home computer network, and will allow streaming of live TV, TWC's On-Demand services, and internet streaming services. The selection of live TV will likely be that offered in the current iPad app, which does not include local channels. At launch later this quarter, the supported services will be Redbox Instant by Verizon, Crackle, Target Ticket, and Rhapsody.
Unlike Time Warner's current offerings of set-top boxes, the Fan TV box is fully purchased up front, and carries no monthly charges for basic services. The box will retail at $149, but

Fan TV is an interesting offering, given the
At first blush the setup seems as simple as the Chromecast, Roku, and AppleTVs, but the remote is simply a touch pad. Interesting (though I much prefer a smartphone/tablet interface that slings to a TV over these 10-foot interfaces on the current devices.) With a $99 introductory price the FanTV might be a great experiment for the summer. Likely the selling prices for these on eBay will be greater than $99, so what's to lose?
Need Help Discovering Great Cookbooks?
If you have ever found yourself overwhelmed in the cooking section of a bookstore or at Amazon.com, you aren't alone. There are hundreds and hundreds of cookbooks out there and it is difficult to discern the good from the bad.
One of the best ways to improve your cookbook collection is to look at what cookbooks the great chefs are using. One of the most exposed and interesting selections in the area is at Rise, the biscuit/donut shop in the Southpoint mall complex. It's a fun look; rewarding to see some of your favorites, but also a great chance to add to your own list or your gift lists.

City Barbeque Brings Delicious Range of Styles to Cary
While it isn't the home of Eastern North Carolina barbecue, Raleigh is definitely in the territory. The chopped, vinegar-based pork style of barbecue is how we were raised around here and anything else is dog food, right? Well….
Other styles of American "barbecue" have come and gone, with mild to moderate success. Houston-based Luther's brought a heavily smoky Texas brisket to Raleigh in the mid-80s, however the flavors were just too strong to shake for the rest of the day. Red, Hot, & Blue has only had moderate success, as has Dickeys.
Instead of sticking to one style of preparation, City has decided to go with a sampling of styles from across America's mid-section: Texas-styled brisket and sausage, Alabama-style pulled Chicken, St. Louis Ribs, and Carolinas-Styled pulled pork. With three sauces for the meats, I was able to turn any of these meats into a style I wanted.
The sausage was good, but not quite as good as what I had in my recent trip to Austin. However the brisket is actually more enjoyable. The ribs and pork were both delicious, as well. What made my meal stand out, however, was the feeling I had after eating it. Most of the time barbecue doesn't agree with me. Either the food is overtly greasy and/or has an intense smoke flavor that I can't shake for the rest of the day. Not so with City Barbeque. Not only did the food agree with me, but I didn't even have a greasy sensation on my tongue that afternoon. That's truly remarkable!
The huge list of sides at City Barbeque are as good as the meats. I was able to sample corn pudding, slaw, potato salad, french fries, Texas-style baked beans, and green beans. They ranged from good to some of the best I've ever had. The potato salad was excellent, however the french fries, with the perfect amount of kosher salt, are among the best I've ever had (including my meal last week at Flip Burger, Food & Wine's pick for Best Fries in the U.S.).
The string beans are worth a discussion by themselves. They are cooked in homemade chicken stock along with "bacon" – not the fatty stuff from the grocery store but rather a thin, ham-like version. The result: the best stringed beans I've ever had. The texture is perfect, the salt level is perfect, and there is no resulting grease slick!
The restaurant is located in a replacement building in the parking lot of the Trader Joe's shopping center in Cary. This is an ideal location, as their patrons are likely not going to be people whose palate for BBQ is limited to only Eastern NC style. That shouldn't deter Raleigh people from making the 20 minute drive, however. It's worth the drive, for sure. (and when you are done you can swing by the Meat House in the shopping center next door and take something home to cook another night).
City Barbeque will stage their grand opening tomorrow (4/12) with a "rib cutting" ceremony at Noon.

I purchased this because I'm not a big fan of mint, and liked the idea that it's natural. Not matter how I tried, I just didn't like it. The toothpaste has no "lather" to it, and halfway through my brushing, I have to add another substantial amount to my toothbrush. I also noticed that by late afternoon, when I ran my tongue against my gums, I could feel a plaque build-up, which I had never experienced with other toothpastes (usually a Crest user). The flavor was so-so, not bad but not a "tropical" as I had expected. Would NOT re-purchase.

**EDIT: This is for the Whole Care Orange Mango Gel Toothpaste, to be clear. Apparently this flavor is offered for other types of toothpastes, but I can't seem to find those on their website.**
I hate mint. Mint anything is disgusting. If my friend sitting across the table is chewing mint gum, I can smell it and I start getting headaches. As such, brushing my teeth was always a very very VERY hard thing for me to do. I used the children's one for the longest time, but it's very sugary and still very gross.
When my boyfriend sent me this as a surprise gift (I know, how romantic), I decided to try it out. To my surprise, it tastes delicious. I still get a hint of mint, the freshness and burning sometimes, but not always, which is weird. Either way, I love it! I don't dread brushing my teeth anymore!
This is what the description on their website says: "Refreshing natural flavor. Real flavor oils, not artificial sweeteners like saccharin, leave your mouth feeling clean and fresh. Helps fight cavities. Naturally sourced fluoride helps remineralize soft spots on teeth before they turn into cavities. Helps fight tartar. Gentle whitening. Naturally-sourced silica (derived from sand) improves cleaning and gently whitens without bleaching ingredients or harsh abrasives."
I haven't really seen any whitening (been using it for about 4months now). I really wish it whitened better because my teeth are stained from coffee (can't start my day without it!). I also wish it had something for sensitive teeth, and I kinda wish it wasn't gel-like. Feels weird.
Since I haven't been able to find it in stores, the only way I have been able to replace this is through websites. I'm always looking for the cheapest because, I mean, why the heck does mint always have to be cheaper than non-mint flavors? Cheapest I've found it, AFTER shipping and handling, was about $6. That's still VERY pricey for what it really is, in my opinion... But, I'd rather pay that for something I don't dread doing anymore, than $2 for something I despise, I suppose.

I got this product for 2 dollars (!) at Big Lots which has lots of closeout deals on Tom's toothpastes and I absolutely love it. The consistency is good and my teeth feel fresh and clean after brushing. Tom's is a great company and animal friendly too so I know I will be buying it in the future again. I don't think I will ever return to Crest.

In a world of mint flavored toothpaste, this is a real treat. The first time I tried this, I thought it would be gross or feel like I actually had NOT brushed my teeth after I used it. Wrong, wrong wrong. My mouth felt very clean and fresh, just like after using a more traditionally flavored toothpaste. This is a fun and worthwhile product and I think you should all give it a try!

I love Tom's Of Main!!!
I buy almost all there products.
I love that it's all natural.
None Animal Tested.
I also love that they have a none Minty Flavor!!
I've been using this tooth paste for years.
And love it!!
I dislike strong toothpaste flavors. I mostly just hate having a strong flavor of any kind early in the morning. At first I loved the flavor of this. Other people in my dorm bathroom would always comment on the yummy smell and it did smell yummy. But let me tell you I miss the foamy detergent of my regular toothpaste. I sometimes double check to make sure I used toothpaste and not face cream or something because this goes from gel/cream to complete drippy liquid with no foaming action. I also feel like my mouth wasn't quite as clean as with normal toothpastes.

I usually buy tom's spearmint or cinnamon. Well I was at Target and they only had spearmint and spearmint sort of bores me. I got on the ground and looked in the back of the shelf and saw this. It sounded weird. But hey--it wasn't spearmint!
IT IS SO AMAZING. It is really fruity and not gross and leaves my teeth feeling cleannnn. It is so fun to brush my teeth with this! haha
To be clear, this review is for Whole Care Anti-Cavity & Tartar Control plus Whitening Gel Toothpaste in Orange-Mango. This is my first experience with TOM's Toothpastes. I'm trying to replace all of my everyday products with ones that are not tested on animals. I've found that most toothpastes are too strong for my mouth--Spearmint, Fresh Mint, Cinnamon, whatever. Ouch! !I love LUSH's White Toothpaste, although it doesn't foam up like this one does. The first time I used it, I thought it was going to irritate my mouth, but I was wrong! I've been using for several days now and no problems. When you first start to brush with this, the toothpaste taste AMAZING! It's sooo good! Then it starts to foam up a bit and you can really taste the orange. Afterwards, it tastes like you brushed your teeth and then had some orange juice. Not bad, just different. I'm not sure how well I like it, but I'll definitely try this brand of toothpaste again. Maybe another flavor, though:)
If you are sick of strong/minty toothpastes, this is a good change of pace.
UPDATE 10/31/07: This product is really smooth and doesn't have any kind of grit to it. I didn't think that was a big deal because I thought it was better for my teeth, to not have that extra abrasion. I need it! I need a bit of abrasion! Preferably one that has whitening power, unlike this one. Yes, I drink insane amounts of coffee and I also like to drink tea, but my teeth have never looked this "dingy". I need a toothpaste that's not only going to whiten old stains, but prevent new ones. This isn't doing either and I've used the entire tube. I brush twice a day, with a toothbrush that has a two-minute timer and two revolving heads. I'm dreading going to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned:( I don't think they've ever looked so...UGH! I also use more of this toothpaste because I don't feel like it's getting the job done. The metal container also started giving me problems. About a week about I started using this, the toothpaste started leaking in places tha I hadn't applied any pressure. There wasn't even a dent in it places it was coming out! I will not buy this again. The hunt for a Animal Friendly toothpaste continues...
YUCK! I dislike minty toothpastes, and love Tom's other non-minty toothpastes. But this one? Ugh! A very flat, dreary, almost dusty-tasting orange oil flavor predominates, with the "mango" flavor adding what I can only describe as a rotten fruit undertone. The overall effect was nauseating - a little like the chalky, orange-flavored children's tylenol I was given as a child, minus the bitter taste. None of the charm of either of its namesake fruits. Blech. Try the apricot variety instead - it's much more pleasant.
Never thought I'd love a toothpaste, but I love this one! What a great flavor. Not for everyone, though; my friend gave it to me because she hated it. I think it's terrific, I'd definitely buy it again.

Maybe we can consolidate announcements about early entrants or news about players who have decided to remain in college. Non-Duke players, since there is already a Gerald Henderson draft status thread.
Ed Davis of UNC says he will return.
Singler is IRON
I STILL GOT IT! -- Ryan Kelly, March 2, 2013
Jodie Meeks and Dejaun Blair have declared.
2009-2010 can't come soon enough.
It goes from bad to worse...
I had two hopes after last night's massacre...
1.Davis goes pro...
2.Ellington goes pro...
That frontline is ridiculous next year....Davis, Thompson, Zeller, Henson, Wear x 2...
Like we didn't have enough problems on the glass last year...It will be like volleyball underneath the basket when we play the holes...
Hopefully, Ellington follows Henderson to the pros...
I think Davis will change his mind once the euphoria of winning wears off and he has time to assess the situation. People are talking about him being a top 10, maybe a top 5 pick - NBA scouts are absolutely drooling over him. He might go higher than either Lawson or Ellington.
What about Thompson? Has he ruled out going pro? if I were him I would look to leave this year while the draft is a bit weaker than usual. I am sure someone would take a chance on him in the 2nd round.
I am not worried about UNC next year. The key driver to this team was Lawson. Even if Davis returns we match up well under the hoop:
Czyz 6'7 Thompson 6'8
Singler 6'8 Wear 6'9
Thomas 6'8 Wear 6'9
Kelly 6'10 Davis 6'10
MP1 6'10 Henson 6'10
MP2 6'11 Zeller 7'0
Zoubek 7'1
I am sorry but Zeller is soft and has a ways to go before he does anything special. The only two that concern me are Davis and Henson, but even then, one of them will be stuck chasing Singler around.....
latest mock draft from nbadraft.net, I think I would take Davis ahead of everyone but Griffin. He would easily be a top 10 pick.
For 2010, they have Davis at #3.
Also, just looking at those mock drafts, eveyone says 2010 is a much deeper draft, but I don't see that.

Found June 02, 2011 on Fox Sports:
Many are calling this Saturday's fight a steppingstone for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. This will be his first title fight, and should he win impressively, it would likely be a gateway to bigger names. Not many steppingstones are undefeated, though, and that's what current middleweight title holder, and Chavez's opponent, Sebastian Zbik is. The German-born fighter is 30-0 and presents challenges for the similarly undefeated Chavez (42-0-1). "I think he's a real good boxer," Chavez said. "He's a real strong guy. He's a champion. He's undefeated. I expect that this is going to be the toughest fight of my career, and that's why preparation has been so good. We know we have a tough opponent." Knowing this, Chavez has had a longer training camp. It is that type of hard work and dedication that made his father, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., a legend and a six-time world champion. Now that Chavez Jr. is looking for his first, it is also a chance to make his own name. Beyond that, names like Miguel Cotto and Sergio Martinez have been talked about as future opponents. Chavez grew up watching big names take on other big names, and he imagined having that chance someday. If he overlooks Zbik, however, he may not be afforded that opportunity. "Yeah, it's real tough not to think about what's ahead because of fights that I want," he admitted. "I've been dreaming about fighting top guys for years. First things first, though; get through June 4, then look ahead." Trainer Freddie Roach -- who has trained some of the sport's best, including Manny Pacquiao -- sees greatness in Chavez. "It will be great to win the world title. It will make his father proud and make me proud," Roach said. "I know Julio is in great shape to do that, and he has done everything he can to be ready for this fight. Everything I have asked him to do, he has responded very well. Julio is a great person, and he'll be great for the sport to be champion. I think he will hold the title well, and he'll defend it well."
