An unbiased review of the Bro Jake Show on Team 1040
The Bro Jake Show (also featuring Dave Pratt who is curiously not in the title of the show) premiered on Team 1040 this week and the early reviews on Twitter are well… terrible.
Here's a sampling:
@SocialAssassin2: Only a minute away from the beginning of the end. #GrandpaJake @TEAM1040
@captain_kirk87: Turn on #team1040 and the tragically hip are on. So Bro Jake never left rock 101 he just brought it across the street.
@BrowntoBure: Lol, people going off about the new morning show… I tried to warn you. Bro Jake should be fired by 9am. What a washed up hack.
Don Taylor wasn't too happy with comments like these on Twitter, resorting to unoriginal name calling on the afternoon show. While I agree that people tend to overcriticize things on Twitter and can comment in poor taste, Taylor sounded like a dinosaur. He also doesn't realize that the critics on Twitter are listeners of the Team 1040. They are your core audience and they hate the idea of a non-sports guy coming to host a show on their favourite station. If there's one thing that the media is poor at criticizing, it's criticizing themselves.
To be honest, the Bro Jake Show (6-10am on Team 1040) is about what I expected. Jake has brought the same show that he had on Rock 101 for years, but instead of playing classic rock, he interviews guests and tries to talk sports. What has surprised me is how little time Dave Pratt spends talking on the air. It seems to be 70% Jake, 30% Pratt.
Jake will be bringing in a lot of big name guests from the music world, which will be interesting for some and not at all interesting to others. If you're a fan of Off The Record on TSN, then maybe this format is for you. Personally, I don't care what Ozzie Osbourne thinks about the Vancouver Canucks.
All in all, the Bro Jake Show is somewhat entertaining. Jake is good for a laugh here and there but that's about it. The show begins to get really really terrible every time Jake tries to talk about sports. He knows very very little about sports and it's uncomfortable to hear him try to fake it.
Last week Jake and Pratt had an interview on CTV where they proclaimed that they weren't going to say a bunch of stats and they were going to be about entertainment. Of course nobody wants just a bunch of stats on the radio, but you do want someone knowledgeable. I already think I know more about hockey than a lot of people on the Team 1040, but Bro Jake makes them look like Bob McKenzie.
Listening to Bro Jake talk about sports is like listening to that guy that pretends to know what he is talking about come playoff time every spring. You know the guy (everyone has someone like this in their life), he's the guy that refers to the team as "we" like he's a big fan and has all these opinions based out of hearsay and snippets of the few games he has seen during the season. That's Bro Jake.
The Bro Jake Show is an attempt by 1040 to bring in a new audience. It's an attempt to bring in the casual sports fan while assuming that the hardcore fans will listen to matter what. Judging by reaction I have seen, I think it's a mistake.

Amen brother. In just 3days they have me listening to 102.7. This morning was brutal and unnecassary. I am done with the morning show. For now , it's just so hard to listen too. #bringbackScottyReply
Mike on October 24, 2013
Can't handle it. Used to like driving in on my commute and catching up on the sports but changed stations 2 days in a row after listening to them talk about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West and some ridiculous fake ad which depicted human beheadings on Facebook .Reply
I guess I will have to find another place to get my sports fix in the morning. I guess that's what happens when you hire a non sports guy to anchor your morning sports show.
I wonder what the advertisers are thinking..
kevin on October 30, 2013
i kind of like the show. should have more whitecaps stuff on and i hope everyone realizes Bro is not there to be an expert but more to give a fan point of view and he's kind of funny. Pratt has all the knowledge and opinions that everyone likes to argue/comment about. i get my 40 minutes in on my commute and that's enough but don't mind listening to the old dudes ; not really expecting a gem no one else wants to get up at 3am to be on the radio.Reply
thud on November 7, 2013
Pratt knows nothing. he goes from repeating old tired cliches to his staked out "provoking" viewpoints. Jake is an embarrasmentReply
Dan on September 11, 2013
While I get the hesitation, the show before was a huge snore. The ratings were obviously low for them to make a move like this so while people complain, they're a vocal minority. This show has been good for some laughs, even if it's in an embarrassing dad sort of way sometimes. n nI'm optimistic. Once hockey season is fully on the sports talk will be a lot easier to come by. If anything, I feel like Pratt should be stepping up if he really is supposed to be the "sports guy."Reply
Chris on September 11, 2013
I forgot how much I disliked Pratt until he came back on the air. I don't like his negativity, whether it's an on-air persona or not. He comes off as a poorly informed, angry old man and it's the last thing I need to listen to on my 30 minute morning drive. I was never a fan of Bro Jake – I don't like his crass humour and I often feel creepy just listening to some of his bits. This show sucks and the upcoming Canucks season is only going to further highlight this pair's inability to put forth an informative or entertaining morning program. Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole's podcast is now available on Itunes and I'll be downloading that and listening to it on my morning drive.Reply
Ryan on September 11, 2013
Biggest disappointment I've had is how little local sports have been covered. Very little talk about the Lions (who came off a horrible loss on the weekend and who have brought in new players this week), the Whitecaps collapse on the weekend, and the C's 3 peat Monday night. It's been nfl, politics, and odd NHL guests. Not impressed.Reply
John on September 11, 2013
I agree. There were so many great sports stories this weekend and yet we have to hear every old musician and retired sports haft (Bill Watters) tell Bro Jake how great he is. Oh and can someone tell Bro Jake to stop interrupting his guests with a stupid Rock 101 storyReply
Jason on September 11, 2013
I'm not a morning person –at all, and we are essentially inviting them into our homes for coffee every morning, only these guys are obnoxious and loud. Hello: is this Fox Sports North?
Scotty and Company in all it's incarnations actually kept you informed, and at its best you were hearing stuff from a buddy in a tone that fit with the morning. Bro Jake and Pratt are the drunks sitting on bar stools pretending to to be in the know by speaking their crass opinions louder than everyone else.Reply
John on September 11, 2013
You would never know it was a sports station. It was such a huge weekend in sports and I can't believe how little sports they discuss. Jake Edwards is painful to listen too. I have switched to Team 1410 for Mike and Mike just to hear sports in the morning again.Reply
Simon on September 12, 2013
Worst show ever. I've never heard barely a single discussion about the Canucks, Caps, etc. This morning they interviewed a guy called 'Tiny Johnson' for 10 minutes just talking about nothing other than the fact his name meant 'small dink'. I've moved over to the Team 1410 to actually hear about sports.Reply
D.T. on September 13, 2013
Hey Rob, Don Taylor here. Normally, I don't engage members of the pretend media but, in this case, I couldn't resist. Do you realize you accused me of unoriginal name calling then went on to call me a dinosaur? I'll contact the Pulitzer Prize people.We have a creative genius in our midsts!Reply
Darren on September 13, 2013
Hey Don, I am a long time fan of yours. I heard your comments about the twitter feedback in question and it did sound like you were trashing your listeners. I know you guys have to tow the company line but the morning show really is missing its demographic I think. You have to admit that. Its not like we hate the guys but well for me I really don't like the show and have listened for the past 4 days to give it a chance. n n Twitter is here to stay and despite allot of negative people it really is a useful tool with "great tweeters" like Botchford or Bob McKenzie for example. Embrace it don't trash it, it makes you sound old. ~from a 43 year oldReply
D.T. on September 13, 2013
Darren, n nDarren, thanks for the feedback. Look, I'm not stupid. I realize Twitter is here to stay and, at its core, it's an outstanding resource. I just get sick and tired off all the negativity and, as John Tortorella spoke of, narcissism on it. The world does not revolve around people on Twitter simply because they now have a relatively new means to express themselves to the rest of the planet. This attitude is made clear when someone like yourself thinks the people on Twitter who have criticized Jake and David make up our entire audience. Not a chance! n nTwitter is a part of social media with the emphasis, in this case, on media. Being in the media means being in the public eye. And when your in the public eye, you have to learn to take criticism. I love it when a person who tweets criticizes someone, gets criticized themselves then resorts to what has become a Twitter standard: "You're old, you don't understand " Here's what I do understand: When I shot back at people who were criticizing Jake and David, I was sticking up for two friends who, after one day on the job, were being bombarded by a small group of anonymous cyber-cowards. If that makes me old, find me a rocking chair.Reply
Darren on September 13, 2013
I agree its easy to say things that are mainly to get a reaction and Its easy to be mean spirited and very negative and then hide behind anonymity. Transversely if there is a majority of feedback which is the same, there may be substance to it. nFair enough on sticking up for friends, I would probably do the same. n nCheers.Reply
D.T. on September 13, 2013
Darren, n nThanks for the conversation. You have to understand this subject is a little emotional for me. I know how hard it is to start up a new show on radio and/or television. It's extra hard these days with the instant criticism. But that's the world we live in now and we have to accept that. And just to let you know: I go on Twitter every single day. Like I said, it's an outstanding resource. I wasn't knocking Twitter, just some of the people on it. n nThanks for watching and listening all these years, nDonReply
C.C on September 14, 2013
Hey Don Taylor. n nCharron here. Just wanted to let you know that you're old and don't understand. Part of the reason the "pretend media" exists is because sports fans in Vancouver was tired of hearing you and Pratt drone on about porn stars every afternoon. n nPerhaps you don't need to talk about sports to be a reasonably popular talk show, but I stopped listening to 1040 about four years ago and don't miss any of it. n nNice hair plugs, man.Reply

Shawn on September 14, 2013
"Pretend media"… what a douchebag. And he wonders why people don't like him any more. Maybe get off your high horse and stop talking like you're above everyone else. So annoying. If you can't take criticism, get out of the business. Sekeres is by far the best host left on the station. Blake Price doesn't even seem half bad any more. n nYou don't have to very bright to conclude that Jake Edwards is a complete joke. He does not know anything about sports. He thinks the Seahawks are gonna win tomorrow night because they're close geographically close to Vancouver. He actually said that. He is clueless, nobody would argue that. Pratt, when avoiding politics, is decent but you can tell his heart isn't in it any more and I don't blame him. He's now a sidekick to a guy who had pretty much retired and is out to lunch with regards to sports. n nThe morning show with Chapman and Botchford was fantastic. Yea, they mixed in entertainment talk once in a while but it didn't dominate the show. Plus, they're both really smart guys who "get it". If Rintoul wanted off mornings, they should've just replace him with Pratt and left Chapman with him. There was no need to bring a pinhead like Jake in, unless they're trying to attract non-sports fans.Every morning it's like Jake and Pratt are having a contest to see who can drop more names. It's disgusting. n nI've listened to 1040 from the beginning. I've definitely wasted too much of my life listening to the station but that is not an issue any more. Ever since BNap went to the afternoon show, I have completely stopped listening to that show. The midday show is the only left worth listening to. What a shame.Reply

It is the worst sports show I have ever heard. Actually it is the worst radio show period I have ever heard. I actually like Pratt but listening to Bro Jake is so painful. The guy just is not funny and he obviously knows zero about sports. After turning the dial in the morning I no longer listen to the Team 1040 station all day.Reply
Listener on September 15, 2013
Here's what I do understand: When I shot back at people who were criticizing Jake and David, I was sticking up for two friends who, after one day on the job, were being bombarded by a small group of anonymous cyber-cowards. If that makes me old, find me a rocking chair.
n nHey Don the morning show sucks. That does not make Bro Jake or Dave bad people. It just means the show doesn't work. Pratt is fine but Bro Jake has to go. I don't see why people voicing their opinion on twitter makes them a coward. These are the people who pay your wages by providing an audience. And don't be so sure it is a small group who hate this new show. At work we used to listen to Team 1040 all day and now the station gets switched at 6am because everyone hates the morning show. That means less ears for your show too later. Team 1040 needs to listen to the listeners before we are all gone. I have yet to speak with anyone who likes the show.Reply
GGA on September 16, 2013
Scotty, Botch, and Chapman (and Ferraro during hockey season) are a tough act to follow. I'm struggling to adapt to the new program. I'll continue to give them a chance, but I sure miss Scotty and Co. in the morning. nBTW, Don Taylor is the best! I'll take the Tayorisms all day long.Reply
TruthTeller on September 16, 2013
Jake Edwards is an train wreck on Sports Radio. It is embarrassing to listen to him fumble his way around sports talk let alone hear his tired jeu-de-mots such as 'out-of-control-room'. The show sounds like LG73 circa 1985. n nMr.Team was gracious enough to engage in some e-mail banter on the changes to the morning show. The previous incarnation of the show "ranks number 15 in the market" which "is not very good". Hence this appears to have been a factor driving the programming changes. So, apparently, as much as Scotty and Co. was well liked by the few, the masses did not share this view by was of listenership.. n nPeople 'in the know' say that the Team 1040 is speculating that the Sports-nuts will keep listening despite their acrimony toward Jake (there isn't anywhere else to go for local sports radio in the AM) and that Jake will bring in a new crowd of listeners so that an overall boost to ratings can be realized. I really hope the insiders are wrong. Jake is terrible. I hate Team1040 morning show now.Reply

Rene on September 26, 2013
Objective problems with the Bro Jake Show:
1. Numerous factual errors by Bro Jake. Example: on September 26 stated that 49ers QB had thrown 4 touchdowns last 2 games (was actually 0 but 4 interceptions)
2. Bro Jake can't figure out how to transition between stories. Team 1040 management should listen to Sept 26 segment around 8:45 moving from Brett Favre story to Oakland QB concussion story for prime example
3. Does Jake really have to ask "What do you think" of Pratt about so many topics…it's sports radio man….have an opinion
Positive: Makes Pratt look brilliant by comprparisonReply
Truth Teller on December 16, 2013
Most of the time, Jake simply assumes the opposite view of Pratt. I am embarrassed for him.
People may hate what Pratt has to say but you can't say that he doesn't back-up it up. When DP provides an option he follows it up with the how and why of why he thinks that way. People may not like that view or they may disagree with that view but, at the very least, it has substance.
Jake, the low-brow, no-talent, I will be loud to it looks like I know what I'm doing, comes back with: "I disagree". Nice Jake. Nice retort.Reply
Dave. T on September 26, 2013
I'm another longtime morning show listener who is no longer tuning into 1040 morning show. I'm not going to be a "hater" but management has to know the bro jake show is just not working. I will be listening to sports podcasts on my morning commute until something worth while is back on 1040. PS. I'm 42 and stopped thinking the champ bit was close to amusing 15 years ago.Reply
Not happy with 1040 on September 27, 2013
Jake Edwards lost his job at Rock101 for a reason, people were tired of listening to him. I'm a 37 year old sports fan that tried to give the new show a chance and at times still listen, but I now find myself tuning out in the morning more than ever. Sorry Jake but it's just not working. You sound like a fish out of water, your knowledge of sports is not good enough and your recycled jokes and bits from 15 years ago are not funny anymore.Reply

I gave it a day and a half at the beginning but" horrible" does not do it justice. Utterly unlistenable. I've since switched to 1410 and listen to Mike & Mike, a couple of real sports guys with something to say. I tried Jake and Pratt for 10 minutes this morning just to see if things have improved…nope! Jake actually said that after the break they'd talk about something other than sports, and sounded relieved about it. He is clearly floundering. Pratt was never my favourite to begin with, but you can tell he is tortured having to deal with his idiot partner. Back to 1410 – too football heavy, and I sure will miss the morning recap of Canucks games, but I just cannot listen to the 1040 morning show.

Stan on October 17, 2013
I'd be happier if they would move quicker through that it material and inform on sports. As a morning sports show it sounds too anecdotal. It's really struggling to find an identity right now. I also feel bad for the interviewees. There's always a tangential question around every corner that makes a rather vapid point, like when bj asked pang about the all time worst hockey parents. I could get into further mudslinging like the pack a day cigarette voices or the creepy in-synch laughter, constant musings on sexual overtones, constant lambasting of the same players (ovechkin and Phil kessel), and generally nonsensical bs. I don't know, I'm giving it a chance, but it reminds me of the 90′s too much, and not in a positive way.Reply
Jeff on October 23, 2013
Wow. Pretty tiresome trying to read through all of these comments and (un)biased opinions. I guess what it all boils down to here is, Jake and Pratt are on the radio, Taylor is on the radio and tv, and no matter how the rest try to disguise their feelings with large words that they've no doubt had to google to even use properly in a sentence, they are all just bitter because they have reached their peak in life, that being the "pretend" media. Call it what u want, but to an (un)biased reader, the bitterness just radiates from the page.Reply

Scotty and Co. was a great show. Was there a more prepared host on the air? I marveled at his ability to speak without stumbling over his words ( contrast him to the early in his career Ray F and you know what I mean).
imagine my surprise when I tune in to my favourite morning show and I hear Bro. Jake and Pratt? At first I thought I had the radio station and signal wrong. Too my surprise I did not !
Now this part is for the bean counters. I do not listen to Team 1040 in the morning because
Bro Jake is out of his element, plain and simple.
What next, Dennis Miller hosting Monday Night Football.
Truth Teller on December 16, 2013
@Gord, c'mon…are you serious? Like you I like Scotty and I completely agree with your assertion regarding his preparation.
But, Gordo, a spade must be called a spade: Scotty *perpetually* gets tongue tied. I don't know how you can say otherwise. Listen to the pod-casts if you need a re-wind. (Not that it matters, but, In my view this stems from his tendency to speak rather quickly. If you hear him on the evening show these days the pace of the show is slower an he thus has a more measured and deliberate delivery. He twists up his words with far less frequency than he did on the morning show).
Scotty is great, but he word stumbled all the time while on the morning show.
As an aside: Scotty equally as often backed himself into a verbal 'box' where he has to repeat a phrase a couple of times to 'get out'. Jake does that also but his 'out' is to simply get loud and attempt to string-it-together on the fly, which normally comes across bush league. Rookie/burgeoning broadcasters wouldn't be able to get away with that but for some reason Jake can.Reply

I keep trying to listen, but Bro Jake is just annoying. I don't know how else to put it. Scotty and Co was a great show, I miss Team 1040 in the Am, I cant listen. Can we start a petition or something?Reply

Bro Hater on October 28, 2013
This is obviously sarcasm….or I hope it is. I've been listening since day 1 of the station and I have heard every incarnation of radio teams and this, BY FAR, is the worst!! Bro Jake wouldn't be funny in a senior's home, had is so outta date!Reply

Sadly, I find myself here at 06:26 following my morning commute, trying to choke down The Bro Jake Show with my morning coffee. . I used to listen to Rock101, but moved to Team1040 in the mornings shortly after Elise joined the Bro Jake Show. Radio comedy is commonly low brow and and that's fine, Bro Jake only interested me during the big contests. They had to give big $$$ away for us to listen. Although The Team sometimes had entertainment segments during slow times, like The Lockout, a listener could get to know the Hosts a little better and thus improve the Brand. Bro Jake and Pratt has made me CHANGE THE STATION. We are more inclined to tune into TRAFFIC RADIO. That's right, Traffic is more informative, more entertaining. We want upbeat, informative, INFORMED and experienced morning sports programming. We Want to be prepared for our day's sports. This show makes me angry in the morning. It just hurts. Sorry, Bro Jake, go buy a boat and go fishing.Reply
Angus on November 1, 2013
I have listened to team1040 on my morning commute for years. I haven't always loved the personalities but at least there was some solid comment on the sports world with a local focus. I've tried to make the transition to the bro jake show – I really have. I can't do it anymore. The show is appalling. Jake trying to talk sports is cringe-worthy. Pratt is his usual clueless, bombastic self. Both of them are embarrassing relics of a bygone era. Jake's commentary is about as relevant as a rotary phone and Pratt is getting dragged under. See you later, morning show. I'm switching to CBC.Reply
Scott McLean on November 4, 2013
I've been with this station, literally from day 1. I've experienced more hosts and host combinations than I would like to admit. Some I liked instantly, others I grew to enjoy, others I tolerated. I remember the morning show verbally attacking Trevor Linden, then there was accosting Bertuzzi's wife, there we the Mckechee bumbling days, Moj bailing for a radio namesake, Pratt's "alleged" plagarism…and it goes on. As a faithful listener, you see past the issues and identify with the hosts. …then comes along Bro Jake and Pratt!Reply
I don't know who came up with this idea, but they need to check their reasoning, this just makes no sense! Who can identify with these two?! Bro Jake is straight up EMBRASSING! The sports fans of BC are too smart to be snowed by a good radio voice! He may be a good radio host but he is NOT a sports radio host! I know children who have more informed opinions than this clown! …and then there is Pratt, I am just sick of his whiny political points, sorry but we don't care about you dislike of Gregor Robertson and the bike lanes, just like you don't care about anything east of Boundary rd! He is like an old girlfriend that you hook up with when you are drunk. It seems like a good idea at the time but when you wake up in the morning an say "OMG WHAT HAVE I DONE?!!" The Pratt ship has sailed, move on!
This massive public outcry has to be noticed by someone with influence at The team1040. We are the consumers. I just hope the team doesn't wait too long!

Mark in Maple Ridge. on May 1, 2014
The morning show is brutally bad – I don't listen any longer. Pratt is all about catch phrases and repeating himself – horrible !! And Jake ! Not a clue about sports; I'm quite certain I hear cue cards being shuffled in the background. These two old dudes just laugh and laugh, and they've never said anything remotely funny. And now, let's talk about Matt and Blake. Matt is so busy "setting up" his little show, that nothing relevant is said until maybe 10:20 a.m. He cares about satisfying his own needs, not about his listeners. Blake is just plain whiny. I'm 55. I should be in 1040's demographic, but I don't switch on the station until 2:10 when B-Mac hits the airwaves.Reply
Mister J on June 26, 2014
Just to keep this thread going… Yeah, I've been listening to the station, and particularly the morning show for as long as the station has existed. I can't believe how much I hate the morning show now. My wife is constantly telling me to turn it off, and I've been doing that more and more. I still enjoy most of the guests they have on the show, but every time Jake opens his mouth I just cringe. Pratt, at least, sort of knows what he's talking about, but he's not much better. I'm sick and tired of how factually incorrect they are on a regular basis. In the last week Jake has actually started full on swearing on air. Something like that doesn't really bother me, but seriously? Is he trying to be edgy or something? It's not working. It's just embarrassing.Reply
Dominic on July 23, 2014

Same on my end. Pure bliss when Jake was gone for three weeks. For those glorious three weeks my dial was locked into 1040 in the AM. Today, the first day he is back, and I find myself station flipping when he cranks up his usual stupidity in futile attempt to be funny.
I hope the ratings tank so Bell Media is forced to make a move. 'The Bro Must Go' campaign on Twitter appears to have lost its momentum. Glad to see others are coming here to sound off.Reply

REATA adds UCR duo to its broker mix

- Email | Twitter | Google+
Two of San Antonio's leading real estate firms — REATA Real Estate Services and United Commercial Realty — are making some staff changes.
REATA has announced that Michael Jersin and Warren Richardson have joined the firm. Jersin, who was previously president, chief operating officer and a partner at United Commercial Realty (UCR) San Antonio, joins REATA as a partner. Richardson, who was an associate with UCR, joins REATA as a senior associate.
Meanwhile, Craig Garansuay, a principal and vice president at UCR, has been named acting president and executive managing director of the firm.
"I'm extremely honored to be considered for the position," says Garansuay, "to be involved in the leadership and direction of an organization with an unparalleled retail platform that consistently delivers exceptional results."
Jersin says that REATA is a great fit for himself and Richardson.
"REATA is a progressive company," he adds. "We are very excited to join this talented, energetic team and look forward to many productive years together."
"We are thrilled to have (Jersin and Richardson) join the Reata family," says Bob Barnes, a founding partner in REATA. "Their expertise and values are a great match with REATA's culture."
Garansuay joined the San Antonio office of UCR in 2004 as an associate. In 2007, he was named a vice president and partner at the firm.
"(Garansuay's) energy has always been infectious," says Mickey Ashmore, president and CEO of UCR Dallas, and a minority owner in UCR San Antonio. "He is a true leader. ... This is his natural progression."

Poured from a16 oz. Bottle into a goblet borrowed from a Holiday Inn kitchen in Albany NY. Consumed on 8/27/13.
A - Small white head that dies down to just a fizzy film rather quickly. Lots of small, champagne like carbonation. The color of the beer is a very attractive translucent, wild orange, golden rod.
S - I got a very funky, tart aroma right away that was a pleasant surprise. Then came all of the scrumptious and familiar German wheat beer aromas. The banana and spicy clove esters were present and enjoyable. Then I noticed something a bit less familiar. I noticed a similarity in the sweet grains, citrusy notes and spicy clove aromas to the glaze and spices used on a Christmas ham. Strange? Yes, but also very appealing and nostalgic.
T - The taste certainly matches the flavors and robustness of the smell, and adds sneaky alcohol flavors and warmth while still maintaining an incredible smoothness.
M - Soft tingly carbonation. Mid to full mouthfeel, which I assume is normal for the style. The finish is very warm and dry.
O - I've been looking forward to this German classic, and it did not disappoint. It was a joy to drink, and at about $3.50 a bottle I have a feeling I'll be drinking it again soon.

Its hard to believe that this beer cant be found around here where I live.First thing I noticed after pouring into a Aventinus glass is how light it is compared to others of the style,almost peach-like in color with a great creamy top.Aromas of mild clove and banana,a tinge of honey sweetness as well,no alcohol trace to be found.A vey creamy feel really is nice,almost airy in nature.Flavors of chocolate dipped bananas and clove,a lightly toast wheat malt flavor comes in the finish.This is traditional and not in your face,I like them in your face usually, but this is really a great brew.

Appearance - This came out looking like a BSPA. The head is full and lively and pure as the driven snow. It showed great retention but wasn't clingy. The body was just a gorgeous orange-yellow, cloudy of course, with a rich sheen. It was much lighter than I expected but beautiful nevertheless.
Smell - The humble but pervasive banana leads things off here with a nice sweetness that isn't rushed but certainly not subtle. The yeast is cloying and shows that great refinement that all Weihenstephaner lovers know. I get maybe a touch of clove but nothing big and really none of the expected bock aromas. But I'm offering no complaints here as this is an amazing bouquet.
Taste - Well Weihenstephaner is known for their yeast strains above all else and man o man is this a terrific yeast flavor. First off this brewer produces the finest tasting yeast on the planet. Here you have that flavor from their weizen line but times two. It is so pure and so explosive like the raw flavor of yeast but refined, smoothed out, and topped off with a dash of sweetness.
The banana is right on track as well. It again is more like their hefe weizen. It's not overly ripe or crazy sugared like a brown banana but more like a green banana without that earthy flavor. The sweets actually are nothing but banana and I really don't find anything else in there which for me is a job well done.
Mouthfeel - This is medium-bodied with some amazingly light and teasing carbonation that livens up the experience. How they managed to keep the light carbs from their weizen line in this bigger beer is beyond me.
Drinkability - I couldn't keep the smile off my face as I drained this glass. It was more like an uber-hefe than a weizenbock IMO as I got none of the traditional bock characteristics. Since their hefe is one of my all time favorites though and this was that just more of the same I have to give this a gigantic thumbs up.

Pours a golden yellow, straw-like color with quite a bit of haziness, completely opaque. Extremely volatile, as expected given the style, producing a huge, creamy white head. The smell is familiar, once again, to this style of beer, but it is executed very cleanly. Bananas, pears, wheat, bread, yeast, clove, spices. It's all there, and it smells great. The taste follows right behind with an initial hint of clove, followed by the sweetness around the edges. Bananas, sweet malt, buttered bread, and faint bubble gum round out the middle section of the sip. Slight alcohol warmth keeps things interesting in the background, holding it all together. It finishes with a heavy does of wheat and bread on the palate, along with some of the initial tastes lingering like banana, pear, and clove. Medium body and a crispy feel among the slight creaminess thanks to the high carbonation.
What Weihenstephaner does is pretty simple, but they execute it extremely well, and that's what makes them so great. Add this beer to their list of great brews. Not only are they delicious, but they are reasonably priced as well.

look ~ pours a lot lighter than most weizenbocks I've seen, it pours a rich gold. Very opaque. Good head: rises pretty big of a hard pour; white and moussy; falls slowly to a cap that lasts; and, leaves some really nice lacing. All-in-all, it looks more like a hefeweizen than a weizenbock.
smell ~ good smell. I get a zesty yeast profile that has some citrus that comes along with a more the banana-clove smell I'd usually associate with a hefeweizen. I don't really get all that much of the aroma that sets a weizenbock apart: not a whole lot of melanoidin or more complicated spices (vanilla, pepper, etc) here. No real hop aroma, no alcohol.
taste ~ the palate gives me more of what I'd expect from a weizenbock. The grainbill is better: it has a lot of wheat graininess; some vienna and/or munich with it, which gives a bit of melanoidin although it is very light; no real dark fruit flavors. The yeast flavor is pretty much the same citrusy banana-clove blend, I get a bit more spice on the palate though. Bitterness is good for balance, but no real hop taste.
feel ~ good feel. Light body and good carbonation. No real heat or astringency.
Overall, I think this seems a little more like a strong hefeweizen than a true weizenbock. On the website they describe this as a single bock weizen. It really doesn't do what I think a weizenbock should, which is marry a doppelbock and a dunkelweizen. Nonetheless, a great flavor that I really enjoy!!!

Review from BeerAdvocate magazine Issue #26:
Lots of hype, followers and fans of Vitus. Possible cult beer status soon?
Hazed yellow straw color; a massive white head towers over the beer. It's one of those epic heads. Pleasant aroma of green plantains, ripe pears, bread crust and powdered clove. A little chewy and slick in the medium body; crispness digs in deep. Spicy from the alcohol and mild phenols, nutty and bready from the malt, fruity with banana and pear flavors ... lots of flavors thrown at the palate at once, but within the controlled chaos, everything works together. Long, lingering, drying finish of clove, biscuity malt and fading ripe fruit.
A worthy beer and warranted to gain cult status. Not one flavor tries to steamroll another, which makes it dangerously drinkable. Just fine on its own, but begs to be paired with a full-on cheese fondue of Emmental and Jarlsberg, and a crusty baguette.

S - Smells mostly of bread and banana, with some clove mixed in. Simple but very inviting.
T - Taste is more banana and bread, with faint cloves. Clean and delicious. No noticeable alcohol.
M - Mouthfeel is light and crisp with perfect carbonation.
O - This is a straightforward and excellent brew from Weihenstephan. Will definitely have this again.

A: Looks like a typical Wiessbier only a little lighter and orange.
S: Clove and banana wheat beer aromas are pleasant. Very inviting to take a sip.
T: Huge flavors....bananas, pears, slight caramel, spices....so complex. A little bit of clove in the back end. Alcohol is there but hidden. Delicious.
M: Medium body - goes down easy.
D: I can drink this all night, But after a few bottles the alcohol kicks in. :0p
This is one of my favorite all time beers. I try to drink it a few times a month.
The craftsmanship and expertise in the style is obvious. This wonderful beer has been excellent for hundreds of years and will be for hundreds more. Take a break from ticking mediocre beers to (re?)discover this masterpiece.

4.75/5 rDev +11.5%
Presentation: It was poured from a brown 500ml. or 1 pint .9oz bottle into a weizen glass.
Appearance: It had a golden color, which was lighter than I had expected and a hazy unfiltered body. The head is just off white in color and builds up tall and thick then very slowly fades making slick patchy lacing on the glass.
Smell: The aroma had sweet malty wheat notes with yeast and estery fruitiness.
Taste/Mouth feel: There are estery flavor notes of banana, apple, golden raison and bubble gum within a mildly sweet and tangy wheat malt. Also there are hints of clove and some mild spicy hops for balance. It has a solid medium body with a palate that is smooth and a touch slick with pleasing carbonation.
Notes: Outstanding!!!

Pours a very hazy golden color with a big frothy head. I was very surprised to see this brew being so pale. I was expecting it to be much darker. Anyhow, great lacing is left behind with each sip.
Smells very fruity, bananas, cloves, yeast, candied sugar, bubblegum, etc. Very pleasant aroma albeit not as pronounced as an Aventinus.
Taste is along the same lines as the aroma. Sweet, fruity, bananas, some clove, yeasty, phenolic, pronounced wheat in the finish along with a spiciness I cant put a finger on.
Mouthfeel is pretty rich, lots of carbonation, finishes a little dry and crisp.
A pint is good for me. Definitely a good beer. You cant go wrong with Weihenstephaner really. Not on par with Aventinus but definitely up there.

GAINESVILLE — Florida and Miami are no strangers to each other on the diamond.
Aside from the teams' annual out-of-conference series, the in-state rivals have met in the postseason each of the last three years with the Gators ending the Hurricanes' season on each occasion. So when No. 1 Florida (7-1) travels to Coral Gables for a three-game set against No. 12 Miami (8-0), the Gators expect the Hurricanes to have a chip on their shoulders.

The overflow collections that are housed in SAL-Newark have had a significant shelving upgrade. Late last year, SUL Facilities initiated a project to relocate and repurpose shelving that was originally purchased for the overflow warehouse set up during the SAL3.2 buildout. The shelving is not only almost new, but also much deeper than the original Newark shelving, and thus better able to accommodate the newspapers housed in Newark. The deeper shelving allows for a much more efficent layout, with both increased shelving capacity and wider aisles.

What to Take on an Overnight Cycling Ride
Wondering what to take on an overnight cycling ride? Cycling rides are an increasingly popular activity for people so it is a good idea to be smart on what you take with. When taking items on a overnight cycling ride you want to take things you will need but nothing that will weigh you down.
- One good thing to bring on an overnight cycling ride is sandals. This would be nice to help you relax and feel more comfortable when you stop for the night.
- Sunscreen is another useful item to bring. This helps so that you are not a tomato by the end of the ride.
A flashlight is rather important to take with you as well. The flashlight would help so you not get lost or injured on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
- Other things that are needed are a sleeping bag or air mattress, a spare pair of glasses or contacts and a flat tire repair kit.
- Things like any medications you might require, creams to relieve muscle aches, also some light snacks to help keep your energy up.
Before going on an overnight cycling ride, be sure to look over your bike to make sure everything is in good condition. It is also important to double check all your equipment to make sure everything is straightened out before the trip.

Lyon midfielder Alou Diarra is back from injury and raring to face Roma in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
The France international has been sidelined for the last two months but could return to the starting line-up at the Stade Gerland.
After a goalless draw in Italy, Diarra hopes Gerard Houllier's side can prove their home supremacy in the second leg of their last 16 tie.
"I am fit and ready for this match, I feel competitive. If I am chosen, I am okay. I would love to help my team-mates," Diarra told But.
"I feel fresh. I played 30 minutes at St Etienne (on Saturday), it went alright, although I am conscious that 90 minutes in the Champions League will be harder.
"We will have to score and not concede a goal, it will be difficult. Patience and realism are required.
"I hope that we will win all the competitions this season, we have the potential to do it."

(Lawrenceville, GA) — Families and friends commemorated the pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and first grade children at the Primrose School of Lawrenceville North at their graduation on Wednesday, June 18th. The proud four, five and six-year-olds celebrated a major educational milestone as they walked across the stage—in miniature caps and gowns—to receive a diploma.
The day marked the students' completion of private pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and first grade programs at the Primrose School of Lawrenceville North, where students were taught the Primrose Balanced Learning® curriculum, which blends academics, play and character development.
As is the tradition, a reflection of the year was shared with the graduates friends and families in attendance through a slide show of pictures collected throughout the year. After the graduates lead the guests in the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance, they performed the Primrose jingle and several songs including Buenos Noches, God Bless America and Lizard Blues. The students then closed with the Graduation Song.

Estimating probabilities of default for German savings banks and credit cooperatives
AbstractA healthy banking system is a fundamental condition for financial stability. When assessing the riskiness of the banking system, analysts often restrict their focus to large banks. This may create a distorted picture in countries like Germany with fragmented banking systems. In Germany, savings banks and cooperative banks taken together are important players in the market. However, little is known about their default risk. The reason is that these banks usually resolve financial distress within their own organisations, which means defaults are not observable from the outside. In this paper we use a new dataset which contains information about financial distress and financial strength of all German savings banks and cooperative banks. The data have been gathered by the Deutsche Bundesbank for microprudential supervision and have never before been exploited for macroprudential purposes. We use the data to identify the main risk drivers. To this end we estimate a default prediction model (hazard model). A second goal of the paper is to analyse the impact of macroeconomic information for forecasting banks' defaults. Recent findings for the USA have cast some doubt on the usefulness of macroeconomic information for banks' risk assessment. Contrary to recent literature, we find that macroeconomic information significantly improves default forecasts. --
