Today, we are highlighting one of the State Archives' exciting endeavors: audio digitization.
Since 2003 the State Archives has digitized thousands of audio recordings in the Florida Folklife Collection. The goal of this effort is to preserve Florida's folk culture and make it accessible to educators, researchers, and Florida folk enthusiasts around the world. The Collection includes interviews, field recordings and performances gathered by folklorists from the Florida Folklife Program and recordings from the Florida Folk Festival dating back to 1954.

On March 3, 1845, the U.S. admitted Florida as the 27th state in the Union. A proclamation was issued for a statewide election to be held on May 26, 1845, in which citizens would elect a Governor, a member of the United States Congress, seventeen state senators, and forty-one state representatives.

This document, found among records related to Fatio v. Dewees (1838), represents an enclosure originally submitted by H. Lee IV to Florida territorial judge Augustus Brevoort Woodward in September 1824. Lee sought Woodward's assistance in securing claim to property purchased by his father, General Henry Lee, from Thomas Brown in 1817.
Today Florida joins the rest of the United States in celebrating Women's Equality Day, an officially designated day observing two anniversaries in the history of women's rights. Today is the 94th anniversary of the enactment of the 19th amendment, which struck down the limitation of suffrage on the basis of sex. It is also the 44th anniversary of the 1970 Women's Strike for Equality, organized by the National Organization for Women (NOW) and its president at that time, Betty Friedan.

Lots of people associate the idea of a rodeo with the American West – Texas, Oklahoma, someplace dusty, hot, and dotted with cacti. And while rodeo is most certainly a big hit out west, it has deep roots here in the Sunshine State as well. Florida, after all, has been home to a thriving cattle industry for centuries. Native Americans and the Spanish were raising cows as early as the 1500s, long before organized ranching arrived in what would become known as the American West. As new settlers arrived and the era of Spanish ownership came to an end, the herds remained, changed hands many times, and continued to serve as a valuable source of food and trade.

It's a cool Sunday morning in the sandy scrub of North Florida, with dew still on the ground and the sun just getting up over the trees. It's 1847. Church is about to start, but it's nothing like what most of us would think of when we think of church today. There is no church building; there's only an arbor to shield the worshipers from the sun, a few crude benches, and a space at the front for the preacher. Moreover, the preacher arrives on his horse just before the service is to begin, because he does not live in the same community as his congregants. In fact, this is only one of half a dozen settlements he will visit in the course of a month.

Many people may not be aware but at the turn of the century, Florida had its very own Billy the Kid. And while he wasn't a rustler or robber, he was a train-hopping rogue active in the Fort McCoy area who garnered attention for his activities on the Ocklawaha Valley Railroad between Ocala and Palatka in Marion County.

This Is Totally Your Year: The 2014-15 New Orleans Saints Season Preview
Welcome to "This Is Totally Your Year," our overly optimistic preview of the 2014-15 NFL season for all 32 teams. We've broken down why every team — yes, even your team (and yes, even your team, Rams fans) — will win it all this year. We'll also give some reasons for pessimism and even estimate an actual season prediction. Next up: The New Orleans Saints.
What Can You Expect Out Of The Saints' Backfield This Season?
Is Pierre Thomas underrated? Will Mark Ingram have any Fantasy value this season? RotoExperts' Jake Ciely has the answers as he breaks down the Saints' backfield and offense.
Jimmy Graham Breaks Namesake Celebration Rule Twice In One Game
Graham took his protest to the field on Friday during a preseason game against the Titans, snagging two touchdowns in the event and following each with a dunk over the crossbar.
Which NFL Teams Have The Most/Least Fantasy Football Talent?
While daydreaming today, I wondered which NFL team was going to have the least fantasy football players drafted this season? The Jaguars? The Jets? The J-Titans?
Jimmy Graham Officially Ruled A Tight End, Fantasy World Resumes As Normal

Who Are The Must-Starts For Tonight's Fittingly Epic Conclusion To Week 13?
Monday Night Football games often decide many fantasy fates. This week, a major matchup has monster fantasy implications in many leagues. Scott Engel and Adam Ronis say it's only fitting that maybe the biggest game of the regular season comes to decide games in the biggest week of the fantasy schedule.
Should You Be Stacking Up On Broncos, Saints And Players In Other High-Powered Offenses?
The Broncos and Saints have two of the best offenses in the NFL. Is it wise to load your Fantasy lineup with top players from those squads if you can? Scott Engel and Gregg Sussman have the answers.
Pretty Much Screwed: The 2013-14 New Orleans Saints
Welcome to "Pretty Much Screwed," our definitive guide to the upcoming NFL season. This team-by-team preview details why your favorite franchise might have to start looking forward to next year — and highlights at least one reason for you to be hopeful. Today: we examine my one true love the New Orleans Saints.

Saints Rookie Kenny Vaccaro Mistaken For Colin Kaepernick By Saints Fans
Kenny Vaccaro is a safety that was drafted by the New Orleans Saints with the fifteenth overall pick of the 2013 NFL Draft. He is also a dead ringer for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, so much so that his own team's fans mistake him for Kaep as he walks around New Orleans in this video.

Last week, NASA received the go ahead to proceed with development of its Space Launch System, a bloated multi-billion dollar 21st century version of the Saturn V, designed to eventually launch a manned mission to Mars. It's so expensive that they'll only be able to afford to launch it once every two or three years, which doesn't inspire a great deal of confidence. Meanwhile, SpaceX is proceeding to develop a new high-thrust liquid oxygen/methane-based engine that will power its Mars Colonial Transport, an even more powerful rocket that will probably cost one tenth as much (more)
Last week's explosive failure of a Falcon 9R test rocket was due to a sensor failure in one of the engines. The test vehicle didn't contain the multiple sensor voting system used in the commercial Falcon 9 rocket.

It seems that one of Iceland's major volcanoes may be getting ready to erupt. There's been a lot of seismic activity under Bardardunga, indicating that magma is on the move.

We watched an interesting movie on Netflix the other night – Womb. It turned out to be a drama about a woman who bears the clone of her dead lover and what happens as a result. Yes, it was technically SF but the emphasis was on the F, not the S.

It was much, much better than the IMDB rating would indicat (more)
When I was in university, one of the assignments in my linguistics class was to come up with a list of words that were specific to the part of Canada I was from.

Le Chef
A beloved Beiruti institution; don't miss a lunch or two at this little Lebanese time warp, where waiters dish up vast platefuls of 'workers' food' to all and sundry. There's no atmosphere but the food is good value.
A beloved Beiruti institution; don't miss a lunch or two at this little Lebanese time warp, where waiters dish up vast platefuls of 'workers' food' to all and sundry. There's no atmosphere but the food is good value.
A good place for a long lunch, this restaurant has a pleasant terrace (equipped with a children's playground) with spectacular views over Beirut and the Mediterranean. Book in advance and request a table with a view.
Named after the year it first opened, this place dispenses perfectly satisfactory pastas, steaks and salads, making it a cut above Tripoli's other dining options. The entrance is around the back of the restaurant.
Founded in 1881, this is a popular central branch of what is probably the best Halab patisserie in Lebanon and certainly the best place to sample Tripoli's famous sticky baklava-type sweets (from LL1500 per portion).
He may be Lebanese but Aliacci's inspiration comes from the other side of the Med. With Italian music and decor, this charming restaurant channels the essence of a simple trattoria – great food and a decent wine selection.
On this exciting day trip from Beirut to Byblos and Jeita, visit one of the oldest towns in the world and see the amazing Jeita Grotto, one of Lebanon's most stunning natural wonders. Hear from your guide about the rise and fall of nearly two dozen successive civilizations in Byblos, one of the richest archeological areas in the country.
On this Beirut day trip, discover Baalbek, Kozhaya and the Cedars of Lebanon -- the hidden gems of the country! The cities of Baalbek and Kozhaya are famous mainly for their magnificent, excellently preserved ancient sites, such as Heliopolis and the Monastery of St Anthony.
Travel in a comfortable, private vehicle from Beirut International Airport to your Beirut city hotel. Transfer services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When making a booking, you will need to advise your flight details and your Beirut city hotel details.
On this full-day Beirut tour, see popular Beirut sights and take a trip to the towns of Beiteddine (Beit El Dine) and Deir El Qamar (Deir El Kamar). Immerse yourself in Lebanese beauty and culture as your local guide shows you well-preserved traditional villages and fascinating attractions, such as the Martyrs' Statue, Beiteddine Palace and the Mosque of Emir Fakhr Eddine.
A couple of doors down from Rabbit Hole, listen to oriental jazz and traditional Lebanese music in this atmospheric venue. There's mood lighting and cushioned benches upstairs, a traditional dive bar downstairs
The atmospheric Tanit is popular with locals and UNIFIL troops for its bar as well as its food, an eclectic mix of mezze to stir-fries and steaks. The restaurant is around the corner from the fishing harbour.
On the seafront overlooking the Sea Castle and the lapping waves, this upscale government- owned restaurant in an old Ottoman khan has a pleasant, shaded garden terrace and a long menu of tasty mezze.
Just behind the Khan al-Franj, the Bab as-Saray Mosque is the oldest in Sidon, dating from 1201, and filled with beautiful stonework. It may not always be open to non-Muslims, so check before entering.
One of the most beautiful buildings in the old city is the Khan al-Khayyatin, formerly a Crusader hospital and today a beautifully restored 14th-century tailors' souq lined with small workshops.
The 40,000-sq-metre pine forest on the edge of Beirut at Horsh Beiru , newly opened to the public, is a cool, deliciously green respite from the city with a playground for children.
Dubbed the Terrorifique by some, this attraction runs cable cars up from Jounieh to the mountaintop Basilica of Our Lady of Lebanon at Harissa. The views from the summit are spectacular.

12oz brown bottle, painted label. Cheers to Greg's fridge for the sample. Pours an inviting, shimmering with some initial haze, copper-hued beer topped with a massive 2-finger slightly off-white head - creamy, some stick, great retention and settles to a lacing that lasts the entire beer.
Malty nose, distinct caramel, hints of wood, and delicate floral aromas. Fruity and veggie with some grainy tannins.
Incredibly smooth and a bit silky on the palate. A roughness builds with a leafy hop feel and backing hop flavor. Oily coating. Bitterness is balanced and well placed. Fruity undertones proceed and even malt foundation of moderately sweet grain with bready / biscuity edges. Mild toasty caramel with some slick buttery lingering throughout. Raw hop, oils, grains and some tannins in the finish, but nothing unappealing. It's all good here.
I dig it. Stone's "pay the bills" beer and something that can appeal to novices and geeks.

Presentation: 22 oz brown bomber with a silk screen painted label of the "Stone Brewing Gargoyle" which wards off impurities that would otherwise taint the sanctity of the brew.
Appearance: Copper in colour with a very faint haze ... a crisp tiny bubbled lace fades a little yet retains to the bottom of the glass.
Smell: Ripe fruit with hints of citrus (from the hops), a little bit of veggie/floral hop and a touch of caramel in the nose.
Taste: Medium bodied and semi crisp up front, then an assertive somewhat coarse America hop bitterness shows that it is going to be the dominant one. The rustic hops play with the malt a bit letting them show malt sweetness and a hint of nutty/biscuity malt upon the tongue. A bit high with the fruity esters, perhaps the only flavour the hops don't dominate. Even in the after taste there is a lingering and dominant leafy/bitter hop flavour with a pinch of grain and residual sweetness which help to finish this brew off.
Notes: A richly hopped brew that takes pride in the west coast style ... definite good drinking here for a seasoned hop head, might be a bit too much for someone that wants a balanced pale ale.

Amazingley my first try of Sone's pale,poured a clear rich copper with a clingy 1 1/2 finger white head in to a standard pint glass.Leafy hop aromas hit up front with a touch of dry malt,good complexities on the palate very well balanced leafy "green" hop intertwined with a lightly sweet malt base with the hops barely taking the lead just highly drinkable for a "standard"pale ale.Very nice hop profile wich was to be expected from Stone but very drinkable and social,well done.

Appearance The beautiful, deep orangish-brown body tells of a nice malt balance and the head is big and full. It left cool-looking pits of foam on top of the liquid as it settled.
Smell The aroma here is subdued and consists mostly of light fruits and toasty malts. I can pick up some citrus and floral hopping, but they are small and difficult to read.
Taste The dryish hops come on a bit more at the taste, but the big malt body rules this road. It is fruity and tangy almost like a red/amber ale.
Mouthfeel At least medium in the body with some good carbonation and a lively mouthfeel.
Drinkability I really enjoyed drinking this ale, but it wasnt what I was expecting. I know its not an IPA or a dry-hopped SoCal monster hop bomb, but I would have preferred a bit more balance.

3.74/5 rDev -3.1%
Pours a dark-ish amber-copper color, a bit cloudy in the middle. Thick head that, like many of Stone's beers, leaves great lacing along the glass. The nose hits with a light balance of hops (mostly citrus, slightly piney) and malts, mostly in the form of caramel and oak. The floral notes outweigh the malt character a bit, but still balance pretty well. The first hit on the palette begins with a slight taste of malts and yeast on the tongue, but quickly turns to an overtaking of hops, citrus, and bitterness. Although dominant, the hops remain somewhat "light" and are not overly-bitter. Slightly sweet from the citrus and bitter from the pine. Malts come back into play as the beer warms up, getting stronger and stronger along the way to balance the hops out nicely. Beer finishes crisp and refreshing with some residual bitter pines left on the tongue. Medium thickness, carbonated well.
Solid pale ale. Something easy to drink when you want to drink a lot of beer. Might even be safe to call this a session beer at only 5.4% ABV. I know I've done it before.

Pours nicely with a good head. Darker than many California pale ales. Stone makes big beers and this one seems to have a stronger emphasis on malt than on hops. The bitterness is not over the top but lingers nicely. I personally prefer a more floral aroma than this has, but it occupies a nice nitch for drinkers who want a full bodies PA with some hoppiness that balances well with malt.
I don't regard this as much of a session beer as do some of the other reviewers. I enjoy one at a session but then feel like moving on to something else.

This stone pale ale from poured from a bottle to a chilled glass.
A - Deep amber color. After pouring, it has a off white head about 2 fingers thick. Then the head settles to a thin ring. Lots of lacing with this one. Lots of bubbles floating around in there too. Beautiful looking beer.
S - Faint barley scent, with some citrus hidden in there.
T - The taste isn't bad, but definitely not expected. It has quite a bitter side to it for a pale ale. I get a lot of pine which dissipates and then the citrus flavor comes through. The bitterness stays with you from sip to swallow.
M - Feels bubbly in the mouth but easy to drink. Flavors cover the whole pallet quite nicely. Light to medium bodied.
O - I will probably buy this one again. It really surprised me though because I wasn't expecting the hops to come through like they do. I didn't enjoy the beer much at first, but the more I drink it, its quite good. Not as balanced as it probably could be, but I think thats the style that stone was going for with this one. For a pale ale with a little bite, I recommend. Oh, and the bottles are pretty sweet too.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a tapered pint glass.
Pours clear amber with just over a finger of white foam. Relatively low retention that goes to a sheet of bubbles pretty quickly. Lacing was light.
Hops are the first aroma to infiltrate the nostrils but a nice deep inhale also reveals a nice mid-toast malt. Hops are mostly citrus.
For any other brewery this would probably pass for an IPA. Plenty of hoppy bitterness and flavor on the tongue but there is a nice solid malty backbone to this brew that keeps everything in check. Carbonation is rather brisk but not overly so, contributing nicely to the overall texture. Finish is still nicely hopped with a nice linger, but not too long.
Nice offering from Stone. Not my favorite but still a great beer. It seems clear that they pulled back a bit on the hops for this one, perhaps trying to appeal to larger audience? Overall the balance is still very good with a great hop highlight. Cheers to Stone!

This is one of the ultimate session beers in my opinion. On tap it is especially smoothe and crisp. It poured a nice light amber color with not much head because the bartender filled up the pint to the brim! Right off the bat I could smell the scent of floral hops and a slight spice that I cannot put my finger on. The taste was very good and reminded me a bit of the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale but with a much more balanced floral hop character and a nice malt flavor as well. Seeing as how most good bars around town have this on tap, this is now the new default beer =)

Purchased from Ray's Liquors in Wauwatosa, WI. Poured bright orange with a thin white head. I detected a faint hop aroma. Light-bodied, smooth mouthfeel, with a slightly dry finish. I tasted a very mild sweetness and small hop aftertaste. This is a well balanced beer and I could drink 2 or 3 in a row. Not my favorite pale ale, but one I might buy again.

A: Amber with a light white head
S: Very light smell. Seems a bit more malty then hoppy. Floral hops are faintly noticable.
T: A slight caramel malt taste comes through but the hops are much more dominated here. Mainly an earthy hop flavor. Ends bitter and dry.
M: Moderate body, slightly creamy, above average bitterness, little spice, and not much heat.
D: Quite drinkable if you like hops.
Overall, this is a decent beer and a nice offering from Stone. Doesn't particularly stand out though.

12oz bottle I picked up in Michigan last time I was up there, brewed at the new brewery. Pours into my glass a deep reddish orange hue with an inch of white head atop the brew. Aromas of biscuit laced caramel malts intertwine with piney, herbal hops. Earthy in a way as well. Slightly resinous.
First sip brings a caramel, biscuit malt upfront that is met by herbal, earthy, somewhat piney hops midway through. Flows down with a mild bitterness that balances nicely with the malt sweetness. The pale ale finishes clean with a light lingering caramel covered hop.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a nice creamy smoothness. Good steady carbonation. Great mouthfeel all around for a pale ale. This is an easy drinking pale ale but I prefer a brighter hop character and this one seems a bit too earthy for me. Not a brew I'd turn to myself, I think I'll stick to my other Stone faves from now on.

Hazy caramel orange. Off-white head. Kinda small initially, but left a quarter inch of resistant foam. Good retention as with most of Stone's brews.
Smell is sweet, caramel and some raw candy sugar. Hops are quite subdued in the aroma as compared to their other stuff. Floral hops are the predominant aroma that I get with a bit of herbalness. I found the aroma quite weak and not overly complex.
Nicely balanced beer. A lot of malt flavor in this with some yeast bread and a little caramel sweetness. The unrefined sugar in the nose doesn't present itself here. Hops are again a bit floral and there is a definate herbal, earthy hit at the end. Finishes fairly clean with only the slightest bit of lingering dirty bitterness. There are some fleeting hints of alcohol that show up every now and then.
Mouthfeel is pretty good. Coats well and there is just enough crispness from the carbonation. Overall this is a pretty drinkable pale ale and quite toned down compared to most of their other brews. I'd drink this if it was more readily available, although there are more flavorful offerings out there.

Usually it is Stone's job to kick your butt and make you wonder why you came to drink it, then realize that's exactly why you're drinking it, man up and emerge triumphant.
With this one, the ale does not nearly accomplish this.
Yes it's a Pale Ale, but a bit of reddishness gives it a good look (that matches the bottle, nice!). Smelling the hops and barley, you drink down a regular and not even offensive hoppy taste. Why? Stone, I want you to crush me!
Sure you could drink 'em often, but the taste is a bit too bland to make each sip desirable, and at 5.4 abv there's no reason to stay with this one.

SIMFEROPOL, Crimea (CNN) - A day after Russia claimed Crimea as its own, there are signs the uneasy standoff between pro-Russian and Ukrainian forces could ignite into bloody conflict.
Almost 300 armed pro-Russian supporters took over the Ukrainian navy's headquarters in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, said Marina Kanalyuk, assistant to the commander of Ukraine's navy fleet.
"They are everywhere here. They surround us. They threaten us," she said, adding that she was sure that Russian security forces were involved.
Kanalyuk said the 70 or so Ukrainian naval officers at the headquarters had tried to stop the armed men from entering and were now negotiating with them. So far, no shots have been fired, she said.
The men replaced flags on the masts with the Russian and St. Andrew's flag, the naval flag of the Russian Federation, Russia's official Itar-Tass news agency reported. The news agency denied any involvement of Russian military.
The incident comes a day after one member of the Ukrainian military was killed, another wounded and more captured when masked gunmen seized their base near the Crimean regional capital, Simferopol.
In the wake of that fatality -- the first Ukrainian military death since the Crimea crisis erupted about two weeks ago -- Ukraine's defense ministry authorized its forces to open fire.
And Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk warned that the crisis was shifting "from political to the military form, and the blame is on the Russian military."
Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Yarema and acting Defense Minister Ihor Tenyukh are traveling from Kiev to Crimea on Wednesday "to prevent the escalation of conflict," said Sergiy Nahoryanski, head of the Ukrainian government's press center.
It's not clear whether they will be able to gain access to the region. International observers have been turned away from Crimea in recent days and flights have also been limited.
Tuesday saw Russian President Vladimir Putin announce the annexation of Crimea, after voters in that semiautonomous territory approved a hastily called weekend referendum on separating from Ukraine.
The contested referendum has been condemned by the interim Ukrainian government in Kiev, the United States and the European Union.
But Russia remains steadfastly defiant.
Putin, in a speech greeted by enthusiastic applause by Russian lawmakers, made it clear Tuesday that Moscow has no intention of relinquishing its grip on Crimea, a Black Sea peninsula with historical ties to Russia.
"In our hearts, we know Crimea has always been an inalienable part of Russia," he said.
Of those who cast a ballot, 96.7% voted in favor of Crimea leaving Ukraine and joining Russia. But the ballot questions offered no real option for any residents who wanted to remain part of Ukraine.
Putin said that Russia had to act as Ukraine's new government, backed by the United States and European powers, prepared "to seize the state through terror and murders."
But Yatsenyuk called it "a robbery on an international scale," one that Kiev will never accept.
Russia's Constitutional Court is now considering the constitutionality of the agreement between the Russian Federation and Crimea on its accession to Russia.
The country's lawmakers are expected to vote on ratifying the accession agreement by the end of the week, the speaker of the upper house has said.
Members of the Russian parliament and the new Crimean legislature met Wednesday morning in Moscow to discuss the details of how the region will join Russia.
Crimean lawmakers have said they now see Ukrainian soldiers as an occupying force and have given them a certain amount of time to leave the peninsula.
The Ukrainian troops have been encircled by pro-Russian forces in their bases for days.
They have also come under pressure from pro-Russian crowds who gather outside and call on those still loyal to Kiev to surrender or defect to Russia's military. CNN teams on the ground have seen Russian forces also show up to reinforce that message.
Putin has denied that Russia's armed forces have been used in Crimea, despite what has been stated by international observers and the government of Kiev. The pro-Russian forces seen in Crimea are Crimean "self-defense" forces, he said.
Putin said the 22,000 Russian troops in Crimea did not enter during the current crisis, but "were already there," in accordance with previous international negotiations.
Russian forces were allowed in Crimea under a treaty that allowed the Black Sea fleet to be based in the port of Sevastopol, but their movements within Crimea are supposed to be agreed upon with Kiev.
U.S. and EU officials imposed sanctions on more than two dozen Russian and Crimean officials Monday and urged Russia to avoid escalating the crisis, but Moscow has ignored those calls.
Tuesday's annexation brought a new round of condemnation from the West, with British Prime Minister David Cameron saying it sends "a chilling message across the continent of Europe."

Chilled 12 oz bottle into a 33 cl snifter. Bottling date 4.25.13.
Look- Deep brown, quite clear but you can't see through the glass. Pours with two fingers of soapy foam that falls quickly, minimal lacing.
Smell- Mild, toasty aroma. Lightly floral, some wet hay. Swirling brings out stone fruit and something vegetal.
Taste- Nutty, dry, light peppery spice and baker's chocolate. Meaty, buttery flavor in the finish- farmhouse, yeah, but this much DMS and diacetyl makes me think this is just off.
Mouthfeel- Medium-full body, mild prickly carbonation on the sip. Dry-ish finish, but coating, milky feel left afterwards.
Overall- Some farmhouse experiments are worthwhile, but this just seems like a really crappy brown ale. Maybe This is generally a good beer, but the brewers need to keep their culture in check. Didn't finish it.

Poured into pint glass. Flat looking body with large foamy bubbles that reduce to tiny halo. Smell is piny with hints of roasty funk. Very hoppy smell. Taste is similar with lingering viscous, roasty farmhouse. Still hoppy without being bitter. Mouthfeel is flat and lacklustre. Chewy finish.

Pours a massive layer of foamy head. Good retention with little lace left. Color is a deep brown, near black.
Aroma: For how dark this is, it still smells like a saison, just a bit roasty. Barnyard funk, lemon zest, spices, and a dry roast.
Taste: Orange peel and dry roasted malts, yeast, cloves, lemons, chocolate, some spice, and farmhouse notes. Interesting.
Mouthfeel: Roasted, smooth, and fizzy. Medium bodied with a higher amount of carbonation. Ends really dry.
Overall, a really interesting take on a saion. Not a big fan of it as it is too roasted for the style.

A-Pours an intriguing color. It's dark brown. The body does seem to be mostly clear despite the hue. Almost no head is found in my glass.
S-Aroma reminds me of a Porter with Saison yeast. A bit of roast and cocoa. Some Belgian spice. Also some light, earthy hoppiness.
T-The flavor isn't very good. I don't like this weird, Saison-Porter hybrid. Most of what I found in the aroma was apparent in the flavor. There was also a slight nuttiness in the flavor. The dark flavors don't mesh well with the Saison aspects.
M-Medium bodied. A bit chalky. Bubbly. I powered through it so I could go to my next selection at the bar.
O/D-Was not a big fan of this. I would not drink this again.

Served in Brewer's Art Goblet.
A: Approx 25 SRM. Extremely dark for the style with almost no head. Surprising for an American Farmhouse Ale.
S: For a AFA, I would have expected a lot more. The smell is faint but sweet, roasty and some pear. A mild hop presence. Minimal esters
T: Roasted and chocolate. Some hop. More like a porter
M: This beer doesn't have enough body or carbonation.
D: Overall a fine beer. Not an American Farmhouse Ale. More esters, less harsh malts but equally dark, stronger carbonation with a heavier mouthfeel could help here.

From Sydney Wine merchants. Bottled 4/13. Fridged.
A- brown red body, one finger head. Modest sheet lace
S - English malts, toffee, liquorice(!)
T - same as smell, real mis mash and where is the earthy yeast a la Saison. No funk, no barnyard, add toffee , caramel, burnt BBQ, vanilla. And liquorice...
M - moderate carb, medium weight.
O - oh dear, what happened, an English Ale as a saison? And missing the flavour for the ABV. Burnt flavours come thru as it warms.... Pass.

a - Pours a black color with one inch of tan head and moderate carbonation..
s - Smells of roasted malts, smokey, floral notes, and
t - Tastes of smokey roasted and toasted malts, light floral notes, and something weird I can't quite place, like burnt caramel or toffee. Not that great.
m - Medium body and low carbonation.
d - This was listed as a Black Saison, and I wasn't a big fan of it. The taste just seemed a little off to me and the smell was average. Wouldn't look to have again.

Appearance: (4.0)
- Poured a beautiful dark murky brown with a fizzy, planet-like crater-filled valley of light mocha head. It took a short time for it to settle down to a bubbling dark brew, that seems like it is alive and ready to go.
Smell: (3.0)
- I can't help but notice a slight homebrewy odor of aceto, or green apple-like cider notes.. but it isn't heavy enough to kill the beer. Esters, roasted chocolate, grain, prune, fig, and spice.. slight clove touch. Almost a touch of purple grape juice.
Taste: (3.0)
- Certainly one of a kind. Roasted chocolate.. tart esters, grape, dark tea leaf, fig, tobacco.. smooth dry malt character leaves an earthy flavor. Perhaps a light early grassy hop addition.
Mouth Feel: (3.0)
- Leaves the palate a bit dry, and chalky. Overall a medium bodied beer that is rather well carbonated. Slightly chewy.
Overall: (2.5)
- The beer isn't bad. It certainly didn't hit the spot as I was expecting from the fancy packaging and marketing even all the way over here in the northwest. It's much like a very good homebrew, but a farmhouse ale that falls short compared to the pros. The highlight was certainly the look of the beer.. but the rest fell short. Not worth the money.

Born: January 27, 1930 in Rosemark TN
One of the premiere blues and soul singers of a generation, the great Bobby "Blue" Bland successfully bridged the blues and R&B era of the 1950s and the soul era of the 1960s with a number of hit singles and albums. Along the way, Bland would influence scores of imitators and followers, including great singers like Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye as well as rockers like Van Morrison and Eric Clapton.
The Beale Streeters
Born Robert Calvin Bland in Rosemark, Tennessee in rural Shelby County, Bland moved to Memphis with his mother as a teenager in 1947. Like many artists of his generation, Bland began singing in the church, which led to his performing with various gospel groups, foremost among these the Miniatures. He would later become part of a loose-knit blues group called the Beale Streeters that included future blues and R&B stars Johnny Ace, Rosco Gordon, Junior Parker, and B.B. King, who would become Bland's longtime friend and musical partner.
Bland recorded a number of singles for Chess Records (produced by the legendary Sam Phillips of Sun Records), Modern Records, and the Duke Records labels in 1951 and '52, none of which sold especially well. The singer's fledgling career was sidetracked when he was drafted into the Army in 1952, but Bland picked back up in 1954 when he was discharged from the military, returning to Duke Records (which had been bought by Houston promoter and label executive Don Robey during Bland's absence).
The Duke Records Years
Robey wisely paired Bland with songwriter, bandleader, and trumpeter Joe Scott for a series of R&B chart-topping singles, beginning with 1955's "It's My Life, Baby." Bland's vocal style had progressed greatly since his early singles, the singer showing greater range and confidence. With songs provided by Scott, and featuring guitar from talents like Pat Hare (who would late play with Muddy Waters), Clarence Hollimon, and Wayne Bennett, Bland delivered such red-hot platters as "Farther Up The Road," "I Pity The Fool," and "Turn On Your Love Light," among many others, between 1957 and 1961.
During this time, Bland toured with Junior Parker and his band the Blue Flames, and he often doubled as Parker's valet and driver (a role he also performed for B.B. King). Bland broke with Parker in 1961 and struck out on his own, finding even greater success and popularity. Still working with Joe Scott, Bland's string of hits continued through the mid-1960s, songs like "Call On Me," "Ain't Nothing You Can Do," and a cover of T-Bone Walker's "Stormy Monday" riding high on the R&B charts. However, financial problems and an increased reliance on alcohol, combined with Bland's growing depression, caused him to break up his touring band in 1968.
B.B. King & 1970s Stardom
Bland had stopping drinking by 1971 and began restoring his once high-flying career. Robey sold Duke Records to ABC-Dunhill Records in 1972, with Bland's contract as part of the deal. The label wisely hooked up the singer with producer Steve Garrie and bandleader Ernie Fields, Jr., who took Bland away from the R&B ballads that had been his bread-and-butter during the 1960s, moving him towards a blues and soul-based sound that was both more contemporary and timeless. Recording in Los Angeles, Bland produced two of his best-selling albums in 1973's His California Album and 1974's Dreamer, the former providing a Top 50 pop hit in "This Time I'm Gone For Good," the latter scoring a R&B chart hit with "Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City," later a hit for British blues-rockers Whitesnake.
During this time, Bland reunited with King and the two artists would become one of the most popular touring acts of the 1970s and early '80s. The musical partnership resulted in a pair of critically-acclaimed mid-1970s releases, Together For The First Time...Live (1974) and Together Again...Live (1976), both of which were Top 10 R&B chart hits (the first album also hitting #43 on the pop chart). Bland's solo work during the later part of the decade would veer into disco and middle-of-the-road with diminishing commercial returns, but Bland would return to his trademark soul-blues sound for 1980's Sweet Vibrations, a Joe Scott tribute album.
The Chitlin' Circuit
In 1985, Bland signed with the Jackson, Mississippi Malaco Records label where he would spend the rest of his career. Specializing in old-school soul and blues music, Malaco was the perfect home for Bland's talents, the label plugged into the Southern "chitlin' circuit" of nightclubs and small, independent record stores. The partnership between Bland and Malaco would result in a number of fine records, and through the years Bland would be a consistent seller for the label. Members Only, released in 1985, brought the singer back to the R&B charts on the strength of the hit title track, while 1987's First Class Blues mixed material from Bland's first two albums for Malaco with re-recorded versions of several of his Duke Records era hits.
Bland continued to tour, both solo and with King, through the late 1980s and well into the 2000s until health problems sidelined the singer in 2011. He also continued to record for Malaco, among his many albums for the label such creative high points as 1998's Memphis Monday Morning and Live On Beale Street, which included guest appearances from Johnnie Taylor and Bobby Rush, and 2003's Blues At Midnight. A well-respected elder statesman of the blues, Bobby "Blue" Bland was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1981 and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. Capping off an amazing career that spans seven decades, Bland received a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997.
Recommended Albums: With a discography as scattered and in-and-out-of-print as Bland's, the newcomer can rely on two solid "best of" compilations, Greatest Hits Volume One offering 16 red-hot slabs from the Duke Records era while Greatest Hits Volume Two covers the singer's years with ABC-Dunhill and MCA Records.Fans of Bland's early hits will also find a lot to like on Malaco's First Class Blues set.

TWO roller derby skaters are heading for the World Cup after being selected to compete for Wales in the USA.
Cat Davies of North Wales Roller Derby, based in Deeside, and Wirral Whipitere Liz Gibson, who lives in Shotton, have both been picked for the Wales squad heading to the USA to take part in the 30-team tournament in December.
Cat, from Denbigh, formed part of the Deeside-based team that celebrated a heartstopping 157-156 win over the Manchester Roller Derby Furies at the weekend.
Both girls are now getting their skates on ready for their trans-atlantic trip which will see them represent their country in Dallas against the global elite in the 'Blood and Thunder' Roller Derby World Cup.
"I'm nervous but really excited," said 25-year-old Cat who skates under the nickname 'Shedog' and owns Denbigh's 'Cat's Dogs' dog grooming business.
"I was over the moon when I found out I'd made the squad.
"I couldn't believe it at first – I had to re-read some emails a few times.
"There's still a lot of hard work to be done and I'm going to learn so much in the next few weeks."
The sport has rapidly been growing in popularity in the area due largely to the performances of the North Wales team who play their home 'bouts' at Deeside Leisure Centre.
The team has made an impressive start to its debut season in Europe's largest roller derby league – the Heartland Series – with performances catching the eye of national coaches.
Support worker Liz, 23, was also selected following a series of rigorous try-outs under the gaze of selectors earlier this year.
She said: "Wales wanted to get a team together and I went for a couple of try-outs in Deeside and Cardiff.
"I was successful and pleased to be able to get involved.
"It's really exciting to know we'll be taking on all the teams from across the world in Dallas.
"Hopefully, we can be successful. The American and English teams are very well established but hopefully we can beat a few teams along the way."
The girls will, however, find themselves on opposing sides when North Wales Roller Derby face Wirral Whipiteres in July.

text: Veridian Homes, Madison, Wis.Best design centerBy Pat Curry YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH THE NUMBERS. SINCE VERIDIAN Homes in Madison, Wis., opened its new design center in November 2003, the sale of upgrades has increased by 30 percent. Not only that, but the builder attributes 12.7 percent of all new traffic and nearly 10 percent of its closings to first contacts made in the design center.That's right. The 3,800-square-foot design center not only serves the buyers of 600-plus homes annually, it is also a frequent first point of contact for the public with the builder."The marketing department is putting it in the ads, promoting browse hours," says Dan Gorski, vice president of estimating, purchasing, and design for Veridian Homes. "A salesperson is on the floor to answer questions. We're promoting it as another tool to come buy a home from us."The new center replaced a much smaller facility after Veridian merged with another local builder in June 2003. This time, it decided to hire Masco Design Solutions to create a center with a strong customer focus."The last one was done by us as builders thinking what we thought the clients wanted," Gorski says. "It was a mishmash and didn't have a nice flowing appearance."This time, the company went for the "wow factor" and got it. Now, it's a vital part of Veridian's marketing efforts."We have tags in our commercials that say, 'Stop by the design studio,' so they start dreaming up their new home," Gorski says. "As you can see, it's extremely inspiring."Builder: Veridian Homes, Madison, Wis.Interior design: Masco Design Solutions, Carmel, Ind., in consultation with Devenish Associates, MadisonLearn more about markets featured in this article: Madison, WI.

Business briefs: December 9
Ruby Tuesday opens Truffles in Atlanta
Maryville-based restaurant company Ruby Tuesday on Wednesday opened Truffles Cafe in Atlanta.
The upscale cafe at 3345 Lenox Road, across from Lenox Square Mall, is part of Ruby Tuesday's plan to convert its underperforming stores to other concepts.
Truffles Cafe was founded in 1983 by Price Beall, brother of Ruby Tuesday CEO Sandy Beall. It has four locations, two at Hilton Head Island, S.C., one in Bluffton, S.C., and one in Atlanta. Another Truffles is also slated to open in South Florida.
E.W. Scripps projects TV ad growth in 2011
CINCINNATI - Media conglomerate E.W. Scripps Co., parent company of the News Sentinel, on Wednesday issued expectations for the first half of 2011, predicting television ad revenue will rise in the low- to mid-single digits year over year, excluding political advertising revenue.
"Several key advertising categories at our television stations are returning to 2008 levels," Scripps CEO and President Rich Boehne said in a statement.
The company also said it expects expenses to climb in the mid-single digits during the January-June period because of a reinstatement of some employee benefits.
Scripps predicted newspaper ad revenue will decline at least throughout the first half of the year. Expenses will likely rise in the mid-single-digit range, the company said, as newsprint prices rise and the cost of employee benefits climbs.
For the full year, the company predicted it will log as much as $12 million in restructuring charges related to its ongoing reorganization of its newspaper unit.
Also Wednesday, Scripps reiterated its outlook for fourth quarter, which calls for 35 to 40 percent growth in television ad revenue, driven by political advertising before the election.
Sales taxes exceed estimates for 8th month
NASHVILLE - Tennessee's November revenue figures show sales tax collections exceeding projections for the eighth consecutive month.

Morrow said sales tax collections were $15 million more than the estimate for November.
The State Funding Board was to meet Wednesday to discuss revenue estimates.
