It's been a whirlwind few days for Washington State's Klay Thompson as he adjusts to life as a professional following the 2011 NBA Draft. On Monday, Thompson, Jeremy Tyler and Charles Jenkins were formally introduced to the media at a press conference, taking questions from those in attendance and talking about their plans and hopes for the future. Thompson has always been known as a silent assassin, speaking softly off the court while showing little in the way of emotion on it. And when paired with Jeremy Tyler, the contrast was striking.
Here's the 14 minute video from the Warriors, which centers on Tyler, for the most part.
It is kind of funny to see the second-round pick treated as a lottery pick. Tyler is no stranger to publicity: His decision leave high school following his junior year to play overseas drew headlines and set a dangerous precedent. But his time overseas was far from a success, instead serving as a cautionary tale. He bounced around, playing in Israel and Japan while dealing with maturity issues and a lack of playing time along the way.
In that regard, it's easy to see why reporters were curious about his story and what he had to say. That said, he was the 39th pick in the draft, is shrouded in question marks and seems to be more of a flier pick that Golden State hopes will pan-out.
With the media tour almost out of the way, the three will likely have some time to workout on their own or in an unorganized fashion with their new teammates. With a lockout on the horizon, it could be a significant amount of time before the league offseason truly begins, a scenario we've seen play-out with the NFL.
After selecting Washington State's Klay Thompson with the 11th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors will hold an introductory press conference for him as well as their other draft picks today at 11 a.m.
With their 44th pick in last Thursday's draft, the Warriors selected Hofstra guard Charles Jenkins and also acquired center Jeremy Tyler from the Charlotte Bobcats via trade.
In a poll of nearly 3000 Warriors fans at SB Nation's Golden State of Mind, nearly 75 percent gave the team's first draft in the Mark Jackson era an A or B. However, some of the biggest questions on the minds of fans have revolved around Thompson and not just his defense.
Chief among those questions is what using a lottery pick on another scoring guard means for the fate of dynamic, yet seemingly redundant, backcourt scoring duo Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis. Lockout talk aside, does this signal a forthcoming trade of Ellis to clear room for Thompson to play? Is Thompson even ready to start? And, ok, how does drafting Thompson fit with the emphasis on defense since Jackson's hiring?
Nevertheless, the dominant sentiment seems to be that Thompson is a good fit, all questions aside.
The Warriors' press conference will be available at 11 a.m. PST on Warriors.com. For more on the Warriors, visit SB Nation's Golden State Warriors site GoldenStateofMind.com.
While the Golden State Warriors received high marks from ESPN's Chad Ford, SB Nation's Tom Ziller wasn't so kind when he handed out his 2011 NBA Draft grades. To be clear, he doesn't hate the Klay Thompson pick, he just shares the same concern's SB Nation Seattle's Nate Parham had before the draft. Thompson can score, but he joins a backcourt filled with scorers, but missing defense.
Ziller gave the Warriors a D+ for their draft because it didn't address the team's biggest need.
Synopsis: Thompson will add some shooting to a team that finished middle of the pack in three-point efficiency. That's cool! Unfortunately, offense is not really Golden State's problem: the team finished No. 12 in offensive efficiency ... and No. 26 on defense. Thompson is currently a minus defender, and if he's playing next to Stephen Curry in a post-Monta Ellis reality, that's an awful porous backcourt.
This wouldn't be such a big deal if the Warriors didn't have a small hole at small forward -- Dorell Wright and Reggie Williams are there -- and if Leonard and Singleton weren't staring them in the face.
Clearly, Jerry West fell in love with Thompson. At some point, the Warriors are going to have to figure out a way to trade Monta Ellis -- a feat they've been attempting for what seems like an eternity. Until then, the backcourt is packed and the hole at power forward is gaping.
Thompson didn't address a need, but that doesn't mean he won't add value. He's a solid pick and should contribute right away in some form, but Golden State may struggle to slow anyone down.

With the 60th, and final, pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings capped a wild day by picking Washington guard Isaiah Thomas last, but not least. The Kings day began with the first trade of the day, a three-way deal that sent picks every which direction. Sacramento dumped its No. 7 pick onto the Charlotte Bobcats, the Milwaukee Bucks handed the No. 10 pick over to the Kings and the No. 19 pick went to the Bucks. But it was what Sacramento did with the draft that received praise, and the Thomas pick factored into its 2011 NBA Draft grade.
ESPN's Chad Ford gave the Kings a solid A in his 2011 NBA Draft grades (insider), noting Jimmer Fredette and Tyler Honeycutt were solid picks in the first round. And in the second round, with the final pick draft, Sacramento capped its day with a solid value pick, Ford said.
Isaiah Thomas has value as the No. 60 pick -- he's tough, he can get to the basket and he can play the point.
Though he was the last pick in the draft, Thomas has a chance to come in and compete for a roster spot. As a second round pick, he's going to have to earn a place on the tea. For the Kings, it's a low-risk move that could pay dividends down the line. The pick was a win-win.

With the 11th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors chose Washington State wing Klay Thompson. It was no secret Jerry West fell in love with Thompson early in the process, and the Warriors were simply hoping he'd still be around when they picked at No. 11. And while Golden State had plenty of pressing needs, Thompson was seen as they best available on its board, and was a no-brainer pick for the front office. But how did the pick grade-out? Chad Ford had a few thoughts on it.
Ford handed out his grades on Friday morning and gave the Warriors a solid B. Thompson factored into the grade heavily as the Warriors' only first round pick, but all-in-all Golden State had a solid draft, he said (insider).
Analysis: Jerry West became enamored with Klay Thompson early and I can see the appeal. The Washington State guard is big, shoots the ball well and has some great basketball DNA from his father Mychal, the No. 1 pick in 1978 draft and a 12-year NBA veteran.
But there were still players like Kawhi Leonard and Alec Burks on the board at No. 11 that I think have much higher ceilings. The Warriors went safe, but safe doesn't get you an "A" grade.
I do disagree with the last paragraph. I'm not sure Burks or Leonard have higher ceilings. If anything, all three have about the same ceiling, though Leonard would fill a defensive need in Golden State that Thompson does not.
Still a B for the draft and king words for Thompson are a positive, and Golden State will probably be pleasantly surprised with what the Washington State wing brings to the table.

I can't imagine what Thursday was like for Isaiah Thomas. As names continued to be called at the 2011 NBA Draft, Thomas was patiently waiting, hoping to hear his own name at some point. The first round passed and, not surprisingly, Thomas was still waiting. And as the second round continued to roll on, Thomas was still waiting -- at this point probably growing more nervous with each pick.
As teams began to reach for players and grab internationals few had heard of, it looked as though Thomas was destined to go undrafted. He was going to have to earn it the hard way through the undrafted free agent process. With a lockout looming, going undrafted was an even tougher pill to swallow this year.
Finally, by the skin of his teeth, Thomas became a 2011 NBA Draft pick. With the 60th, and final, pick in the draft, the Sacramento Kings selected Thomas, ending his long wait. He was the Mr. Irrelevant of the NBA Draft, but it didn't matter. He had a chance.
Thomas heads to Sacramento where he faces an uphill battle, but he's in the league. And I'm not sure who was waiting more nervously: Thomas or fans of the Washington Huskies hoping to see the players they watched for three years hear his name called. The story had a happy ending, though, and will be a moment he looks back on and laughs at down the line.

Washington State wing Klay Thompson was a part of the two worst kept secrets in the 2011 NBA Draft. Earlier this week, Thompson changed his plans to head to the NBA Draft at the last-minute, taking a quick detour to San Antonio for a secret workout for the Spurs. When Thompson was a no-show at the NBA Draft media day, and when no reason was given, eyebrows were lifted. The Spurs wanted him, or gave the impression they wanted him, and the secret workout was not-so-secret.
All along, though, the Golden State Warriors were biting their nails, hoping Thompson would be around. When the Sacramento Kings, Milwaukee Bucks and Charlotte Bobcats executed a three-team trade on draft day that moved the Bucks from No. 10 to No. 19, Thompson was all but assured to be the Warriors pick at No. 11. It was no secret at all who Golden State wanted, and all that was left was the waiting game.
When 10 picks flew by and Thompson was still on the board, everyone following the process knew what was coming next. David Stern stepped to the podium, announced Thompson as the 11th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft and the Washington State Cougars had their highest draft pick ever.
Thompson joins a backcourt with plenty of bodies and not a lot of room. Both Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis will be back, barring a last-minute trade, despite the Warriors efforts to unload Ellis. But with the addition of Thompson, Golden State adds another potent scorer to the mix, creating a formidable three-headed scoring machine that serves as a nice foundation. Of course, it's unknown whether any of the three will be able to play defense at a high-level, but they're certainly be able to put points up in a hurry.
Golden State got its man and head coach Mark Jackson was all smiles on draft night. Thompson will head back to California to begin his professional career with thousands of transplants from the state of Washington who have been wandering aimlessly, looking for an NBA team in tow. It was a good day for Washington State fans, and a better day for Klay Thompson.

Being selected in the 2011 NBA Draft is an honor.
Being selected last is just motivation for a competitor like Washington Huskies guard Isaiah Thomas.
"He already has kind of a permanent chip on his shoulder and I'm sure the chip just got bigger," UW coach Lorenzo Romar said in a Huskies Athletics release.
SB Nation's Sactown Royalty suggests that Thomas will have a chance to compete with Pooh Jeter as the fourth guard in the Sacramento Kings' rotation.
For Thomas, who had some legitimate hope to be drafted as high as the late-first round, having to wait until the 60th pick has to be something of a disappointed, regardless of motivation potential. Nevertheless, Romar says the Kings were a team that Thomas impressed in workouts.
"He had good workouts with them, so I know they were impressed with him," Romar said. "With Tyreeke Evans, Jimmer Fredette and Pooh Jeter there…in Isaiah's case I know he's going to make the best of whatever situation he is in."
Mildly disappointing for the program is that neither Matthew Bryan-Amaning nor Justin Holiday were selected. Although Bryan-Amaning was a long shot, Holiday was on NBA radars but apparently his defensive ability wasn't quite persuasive enough to executives on draft night.
"Yeah. you're pulling for them and we were anxious," Romar said. "I'm sure those guys (Justin Holiday and Matthew Bryan-Amaning) will get invited to go somewhere. I know with the pending lockout it is a different situation. But for Isaiah, he did get drafted so I'm excited for him."
Although the Sacramento Kings' selection of Washington Huskies guard Isaiah Thomas narrowly kept the program from being shut out in the 2011 NBA Draft tonight, UW senior forward Justin Holiday was unfortunately not selected.
The 6-foot-6 Holiday averaged 10.5 points per game, 5.2 rebounds per game, 2.1 assists per game but anyone who has watched the Pac-10 closely knows that Holiday's biggest NBA strength will be on the defensive end - he was named Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year by Netscouts Basketball and deservedly so. That defensive ability is what reportedly had him on NBA radars, according to one report.
In terms of promising signs of improvement, what stood out is his dramatically improved 3-point shooting from rarely shooting them at all in his sophomore year to shooting three per game at a 35.9 percent clip in his senior year at the University of Washington. With summer league unlikely to occur due to extended NBA labor negotiations, the opportunity to showcase his skills to teams to make a roster before whatever training camp occurs will also be gone - his road to the NBA just got a lot tougher.
Justin's brother is 2009 first round draft pick Jrue Holiday, a who played at UCLA and was a 2009 first round NBA draft pick (17th overall) by the Philadelphia 76ers.
With the 60th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, Washington Huskies junior guard Isaiah Thomas was selected by the . Thomas chose to forgo his eligibility at Washington and declare for the NBA Draft in a move that surprised many initially. Instead of choosing to test the waters, Thomas made it clear from the start that he planned to stay in the draft due to a variety of factors. His age was already that of a senior after attending prep school, his minutes at the point guard spot would be significantly diminished this coming season due to the rotation and his stock was about as high as it could be following the 2010-11 season.
Listed at 5-foot-10 by DraftExpress, Thomas led the Huskies with 16.8 points per game, 6.1 assists per game, and 3.5 rebounds per game.
Although his biggest moment from this past season was the Pac-10 title-winning shot against the Arizona Wildcats in the 2011 Pac-10 Tournament, perhaps his most significant performance to his NBA potential was the 27 points and 13 assists he scored against Cal this past January - as described in today's feature, Thomas is a better point guard than his reputation might suggest. His 213 assists as a junior, the second most in UW single-season history, trailing only Will Conroy who had 219 in 2005, but his efficiency as a distributor is well within the range of an effective NBA point guard.
At his height, the biggest question for Thomas is about his ability to defend at the NBA level. But Thomas showed he can play the point, is a surprising distributor and can knock down shots like a shooting guard. While Thomas will not receive the guaranteed contract first round picks will, he still will have a chance to prove himself, and battle for a roster spot.
After sweating it out all night, Isaiah Thomas was the 60th, and final, pick of the 2011 NBA Draft. What a crazy night, but it all turned out well for Thomas in the end.

With the 11 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors selected Washington State wing Klay Thompson. Throughout the pre-draft process, Thompson has impressed in individual workouts and interviews, providing frank, honest answers about his marijuana arrest this past year, as well as impressing with his ability on the court. Before the process truly got underway, Thompson was seen as a late-first round prospect, but has seen his stock steadily rise throughout the process, leading to Thursday's selection in the NBA Draft.
Thompson's strength is clearly his pure shooting ability. As he began his career at Washington State, the 6-foot-7 wing was used mainly as a spot-up shooter,patrolling the perimeter and knocking down three-pointers. But as his career progressed, Thompson's ability to create off the dribble and distribute were markedly improved. But, clearly, his shooting ability were the biggest selling points in this draft.
His weakness, according to scouts, lies on the defensive end. Thompson's athleticism has been questioned, and left some wondering if he'd be able to defend the perimeter and some of the more agile wings in the league. And while his ball-handling has improved, he must continue to progress once he gets to the league.
Thompson the second Washington State Cougar to be selected in the first round and the highest draft pick the Cougars have produced. The Atlanta Hawks made Don Collins the 18th pick in the 1980 NBA Draft.

University of Washington Huskies guard Isaiah Thomas has been looking forward to the 2011 NBA Draft after a standout career in the Pac-10. His junior season should have dispelled doubts about his ability to play point guard, with the only question remaining about which team is willing to put aside past perception and give the confident point guard a chance.
On the West Coast, the NBA Draft is an afternoon affair, and if you're planning to watch Klay Thompson step to the podium to shake the commissioner's hand, you might want to settle in early. Thompson is expected to be taken in the first 15 picks, commonly known as the lottery picks. But as with any draft, we have no idea exactly where he'll end up, and everything could change in a split-second.
We do know Thompson is at the NBA Draft along with a handful of other invited prospects. The NBA typically invites players viewed as lottery picks to attend, sit in the green room and take part in the media scrum before and after the draft. Thompson arrived on Wednesday, but was not around for the NBA Draft media day, reportedly because he took a detour to San Antonio.
NBA Draft coverage begins at 4 p.m., and Thompson should be off the board in the first hour. ESPN has the broadcast of the 2011 NBA Draft, and will be bringing viewers wall-to-wall analysis as well as the picks as they happen in Newark. In addition to the broadcast, you can find a live-stream at ESPN3.com.
Be sure to check out the 2011 NBA Draft order as it stands now. The order is, as always, subject to change due to trades that frequently occur throughout the proceedings.

The 2011 NBA Draft is just under two hours away and picks are already shuffling around. The first trade of the day came just minutes ago as the Charlotte Bobcats, Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings combined to send picks and players every which way. The three-way trade does have an affect on Washington State's Klay Thompson, who has been widely connected to the Bucks in various 2011 NBA mock drafts. But with the Bucks out of the top-10, Thompson may slip, or may move up if the San Antonio Spurs are able to trade into the lottery, perhaps with the Toronto Raptors.
The Bobcats now have two picks in the top-10 -- No. 7 from Sacramento and their own pick, No. 9. The Kings moved back to No. 10 and may not be done dealing yet. The Bucks, on the other hand, moved all the way down to No. 19, and would appear to be out of the Klay Thompson race.
Here's what the order looks like now. Expect this to change as the evening drags on.

The San Antonio Spurs are still attempting to trade Tony Parker ahead of the 2011 NBA Draft and Klay Thompson appears to be the reason why. According to reports, San Antonio is in talks with the Sacramento Kings and Toronto Raptors in hopes of moving up into the early part of the first round. Parker is the main trade chip, setting up what could be a blockbuster trade on draft day.
The report comes from ESPN and shows just how many teams are looking to move out of the lottery. In addition to the Raptors and Kings, who hold the No. 5 and No. 7 pick, respectively, the Milwaukee Bucks are also looking to move down from their No. 10 spot. But the focus is on the Spurs and their attempts to move-up, reportedly for Thompson.
Among a flurry of predraft trade talks around the league Wednesday, the San Antonio Spurs have discussed moving Tony Parker to either the Sacramento Kings or Toronto Raptors in exchange for their first-round pick.
The Spurs have their eye on Washington State's Klay Thompson, sources say.
Thompson is at No. 10 in the latest DraftExpress 2011 NBA mock draft, as well as Sam Amick's and Chad Ford's projections. If the Bucks were to move down, it's unknown how it'd affect Thompson, if he's even around by that pick. If the Spurs are targeting the fifth and seventh pick to take Thompson, it could be a huge day for the Washington State star.

The 2011 NBA Draft gets underway on Thursday evening and two of our local prospects have a shot at hearing their names called in the first round. For one, Washington State's Klay Thompson, it's not if he'll be taken in the first round, but when. Thompson has shot up draft boards and mock drafts, and may find himself in the top-10 before the night is over. The other, Washington's Isaiah Thomas, could slide into the end of the first round, but will almost assuredly be taken by the middle of the second.
In addition to Thompson and Thomas, Washington's Justin Holiday should be chosen in the second round and Washington State's DeAngelo Casto has an outside shot at being picked. If the cards fall the right way, the two Washington schools could have four picks in the 2011 NBA Draft, much to the delight of fans in the state. Even without an NBA team in Seattle, there's still plenty of reason to tune-in and check out the draft this year.
Here is all the information you need for the 2011 NBA Draft.
Start time: Coverage of the NBA Draft begins at 4 p.m. Sit back and prepare for a long process; unlike the NFL and MLB Drafts, the NBA will get it all over with at once. All 60 picks will take place over the course of Thursday evening.
TV information: ESPN has the broadcast duties for the NBA Draft and will be on the air from 4 p.m. until whenever the whole shindig concludes. The draft takes place live in New York and part of the pageantry of the first round includes player interviews for those who are in attendance and loads of analysis. In addition to the live broadcast, an online stream can be found at ESPN3.com.
Mock drafts: We've been tracking projections and predictions for Thompson and Thomas throughout the process in our 2011 NBA mock draft StoryStream. As it stands now, Thompson around the No. 10 pick, and appears to be a solid lottery pick by all accounts. Thomas, on the other hand, finds himself near the end of the first round or in the early second round.
Draft order: While we don't have a local team in the draft, the order is still important for those tracking at home. Here is the first round draft order. Pay close attention to the Sacramento Kings at No. 7, Milwaukee Bucks at No. 10 and Golden State Warriors at No. 11. All three have been linked to Thompson at one point or another.

2 Minnesota Timberwolves

I am recovering from a huge blow – my computer was taken along with other personal irreplaceable items. We stopped by Loon Point to visit the shore before driving back to the San Francisco Bay Area Jan. 30. It was early, we'd just finished our first session of the Winter Quarter. We left our luggage in view in our cohort's car. In Oakland, we'd not have done that, but somehow the seashore, mountains and quiet terrain deceptively seduced us.

News: Game Says It's Still One Blood, "I Just Talk About My Life Experiences"
Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 11:40AM
West Coast rapper Game has defended the decision to stay true to his music by acknowledging references to the notorious Blood gang while simultaneously delivering a positive message for fans.
Despite the recent criticism he's received, Game said his music ultimately inspires.
"I just talk about my life experiences and keep fans listening," Game explained in an interview. "I flow with as much positivity as I can. I want to shed light on better things so fans can uplift themselves, which is why I always try speaking positively. That 'keep your head up' music. Tupac started that first with his songs like 'Brenda's Got a Baby' and 'Keep Ya Head Up.' -- I didn't fight ['Red Nation' getting banned.] I have kids and understand why the networks didn't want to show it...They may have banned it -- but it still blew up on the Internet." (Dub)
A couple months ago, Game spoke to late night talk show host George Lopez about having his "Red Nation" music video banned by certain networks.
"I like to take a little bit of credit myself, too," Game told George Lopez when told the MTV and BET ban helped create a strong online buzz. "They said that they had kid viewers and, you know, it was too gang affiliated but I understand. I got kids, so I didn't argue it. I said cool and went straight to YouTube and now we're at almost four million views." ("Lopez Tonight")
Around early May, Game broke the news of his visual getting banned from television.
"So BET "BANNED" the #REDNation video !!!!! Said me & @liltunechi were too gang affiliated in it. Thoughts ?," he tweeted Monday (May 9).
"This just in: the video so HARD it just got "BANNED" from MtV too ha ha ha ha....F*CK IT !!!! I'm premering it on Thursday online MYSELF !!!"
"Guess ya single gotta be called "Bubble Gum" to get love ha ha ha....#REDNation premiering on AOL, Vivo & Worldstar Thursday.#bannedFromTV" (Game's Twitter)
A month prior, the rapper was detained in Canada for an alleged connection to Bloods.
A rep for Substance Entertainment Group -- the promotion company behind Game's tour in Canada -- tells TMZ, the tour promoter got a call from Canadian Customs while Game was on the plane on his way to Canada. We're told customs informed the promoter that Game would be denied entry "due to new information received that Game is affiliated with organized crime and is an active member of the Bloods street gang." The rep claims Game was blindsided by the last-minute red flag -- telling us, concert organizers had secured all permits and approval weeks ago to get Game into the country. (TMZ)

Numerous either or questions were proposed and you are really not given any time to come up with a good answer. The way they conducted the phone interviews I think did not allow for them to really get to know me, just to sort me into one of two piles. I fell in the 'not wanted' pile.

Summer Internship Interview (Negative Experience; Very Difficult Interview)
I applied through college or university and the process took a day - interviewed at Stryker in March 2009.
Interview Details The interviewer was incredibly rude, running through roughly 50 questions in the first 10 minutes asking yes-or-no questions. Whenever I tried to substantiate a claim, the response was, "Stop talking, just answer the questions". The interview had zero substance; how could the interviewer simply write down a number and garner any real information from that? This is a sad way to build a future talent pool.

I drank this from a 22oz bottle into a tasting glass at NoTB.
The beer pours a dark brown with a light tan head, rising only a about a finger, but not much retention or lacing.
The aroma is light and sweet with a little vanilla.
The taste is shockinly differntly than the aroma as it i s mostly all bitter coffee. Its really offputting because its so unexpected, but its also pretty boring.
The feel is ok full bodied, but rough and bitter with a warm finish.
Overall, this an ok porter, nothing special

Presentation: 22oz brown pop top bomber with nice label; 2008 vintage
Appearance: Somewhat hazy, dark brown (nearly black) beer with a medium tan head with decent retention.
Smell: Lots of sweet dark chocolate and a pleasant (mild) dark fruity booziness as well. Sweet dark malt as well. Not a large burnt or roasted malt presence. A really nice toasted nut presence emerges as this warms. This is vibrant and pretty mellow at the same time.
Taste: Lots of boozy dark fruit up front, with some mild burnt grain and a hint of toasty wood in the background as well. Ends medium-bitter and slightly burnt. It's not a complicated flavor profile, but it's pleasant nonetheles.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full bodied, nice level of carbonation
Drinkability: Pretty high
Conclusion: This is really a pretty ncie Baltic Porter. The wood notes are restrained but clearly preasent (which I like) and though the beer doesn't have a ton of depth, it's tasty and well-crafted. At $4.99 it's an absolute steal. At the regular $9.99 it's still a pretty good deal.

A very dark brown, nearly black beer with a thick cafe au lait head. A bit of lace. Sweet chocolate aroma, and noticeable whiskey. Mostly tasted of sweet chocolate, some vanilla. A bit of espresso late. I could also taste the alcohol in the background. Pretty smooth beer. Would buy it again.

Poured into a standard English pint glass. Pours a dark dark brown, with a cocoa head to it. Has a distinctive bourbon scent to it that comes from it's aging. Very distinct in that sense. Has a slightly licorice scent to it as well.
This is my first barrel aged porter, so I'm not sure exactly what to expect. Taste is very colorful, with bourbony notes mixing and interacting with the rich, chocolate flavors of the porter.
Most of my experience in barrel aged ales have come in the form of very heavy stouts, all of which I've enjoyed immensely. However, aged Imp. Stouts are, to put it lightly, very intimidating to the pallet. This beer takes everything I enjoy from those brews and makes it more drinkable. Definitely worth a try.

I didn't get detailed notes on this one from the Goose Island Beer Academy tasting on October 28, 2009 but this didn't really impress compared to other offerings. It comes across as a solid Baltic style Porter, the barrel aging is minimal, deep chocolate malts and roastiness, but as a special offering it falls a bit short for my tastes. Underperforms most of the Tyranena offerings, my favorite for Imperial porters.

Appearance: Pours an espresso brown color with a rocky tan head; retains nicely and leavea a few squiggles of lace
Smell: Great aromatics, with dark fruit, whiskey barrel, smoke and burnt caramel
Taste: Dark fruit and caramel, at the outset; by mid-palate, the whiskey, vanilla and caramel flavors take over, along with a sour element that while, off style, I actually enjoyed; after the swallow, the flavors blend together nicely, with the sour aspect making a stand against the sweet flavors
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation
Drinkability: I really enjoyed this; perhaps the sour flavor is a flaw, but I thought it added a unique element

Pouring into pint glass.
Appeared very dark brown. A lite tan, thin ring of head wrapped the glass.
Aroma was a little bitter, a little hop charecter, with a rich malty almost chocolaty charecter. A pretty strong alcohol presence as well.
Taste was spectaculer! A smooth, rich malty chocolate flavor. A warming alcohol presence makes this a very comfortable beer to drink!
Mouthfeel was heavy, but smooth. Overall drinkablity is good, its a somewhat heavey beer, not for everyday, but a great evening, after dinner beer! I loved it!

For starters, I don't have a lot of experience with Baltic porters, I don't think I've had more than one before this. The beer was black with a white head. Definite roasty aroma but with a hint of hoppiness. Taste was roasty but with more hop taste! Some chocolate and coffe hints through the roast. I have to say I'm surprised with the hoppiness that come through the robust malt flavors. What an enjoyable experience! The mouthfeel was nice and thicker than many other porters *yay* I get a little sick of watery porters.

Thru the years I have thought of Arcadia to be hit or miss with there wares,alot of their "big" beers havent lived up to expectations that I had for them.
2008 version.Poured a deep cola color with a creamy toasted almond colored one finger head,aromas mainly of chocolate,dark fruit,and oak induced vanilla notes.The oak is much more pronounced on the palate with some vanilla and wood,dark fruit and bitter chocolate round out the flavors with a bit of sweetish alcohol showing thru more as the beer warmed.Its a solid Baltic porter but not mind blowing.

GLASS: Sam Adams Pint Glass
TEMP: Cellared @ approx 50 degrees
Pours up a nice, deep, dark brown...almost black. Two-fingers of thick, creamy, light brown foam sit on top, where it just stays and stays. Lacing is pretty good.
Mild notes of coffees and chocolates. Nice hint of whiskey and oak. Mild touch of oxidation. Hints of brown sugar.
Instant coffee and cocoa powder, along with a mild roasty maltiness. Definite hints of whiskey, which is nice. Mild oakiness. I believe that the oxidation is bringing about a slight 'twang' that shouldn't be here. Not overpowering, but makes for an odd finish.
On the lighter side of full-bodied. Very smooth and nicely creamy.
This is very tasty, but I'd love to be able to try a fresh bottle, for comparison factors.

This is a 2007 Vintage, it pours with a nice strong tan head. The color is black with no noticeable highlights. Aroma is a sweet maltyness with hints of blackstrap molasse and a touch of roastyness. The flavor is clean with a well balanced bitterness and thin to medium sweet maltyness with hints of blackstrap molasses and a touch of smokeyness at the finish. The alcohol is very subdued in the aroma and flavor. This beer is a very good example of a porter and is easy to drink. They say it is aged in oak barrels which mellows the beer. The mouth feel is a medium body that finishes quick with some creamyness. The carbonation is perfect the head leave a beautiful lace on the glass. As it warms the smokeyness comes out more in the flavor also a touch of fruity sweetness in the aroma. If Porter is your favorite style this is the beer for you. I think this is a great beer very well made the brewer should be proud of this beer.

I was looking forward to this as it was warming up on my coffee table for like an hour. I walked the dog for half an hour, came in opened it and it gushed over onto the carpet, some bills, and a nice long trail into the kitchen. Not sure why, maybe overly re-fermented in the bottle I think this one's like 2 years old. Maybe older. The label has a little fold over the "b", no idea what that means.
Super big foam. Smells really good. Woody, intense vanilla.
Tastes Sour, burning matches? Brett. Interesting. Some bitter vanilla. Some dry cocoa powder hints and maybe palm sugar.
I'm more annoyed that I lost like a quarter to a third of it. A good temperature, cool not cold. I waited long enough to open it but I think I needed a bigger glass to catch the fountain of deliciousness. Makes for a good drinking bottle but a sticky clean up. Surprising since it's not sweet.
While I'd drink it again, I'm not sure if I'd age another bottle for such a short time. I'd go older of drink much younger.

The beer pours a dark brown color with a thick frothy tan head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is great! It has a wonderful malt nose that boasts of roasted and chocolate malts along with hints of vanilla from the oak barrels. The taste is awesome. It has a kick ass roasted and chocolate malt flavor. It's thick and rich with loads of malt flavor. It goes down silky smooth with a nice warm finish. The oak barrels really add a tremendous amount of complexity to this already tastey beer. The mouthfeel is good. It is a full bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a damn fine porter. Enough said.

Poured this 22 oz. brown bottle into a Sierra Nevada hops glass. 2007 vintage. The body was dark brown/black. Clear of sediment with a creamy, uniform head. A cap remained throughout.
Smell was woody and chocolatey. Hints of brown sugar. Aroma of a drawer full of screws.
Taste was woody. There was a nice initial tartness followed by a lingering light sweetness. Hints of molasses, but not much. Well balanced and flavorful. Very well hidden alcohol. Drying in the end.
Mouthfeel was medium to light in body. Adequate carbonation with a smooth silkiness. Overall a nice porter.

This poured a rich dark chocolate color with a light cocoa colored head. No light shines through at all. The head was not real thick, but lingered on top and left spotty lacing on the sides.
The aroma is really intriguing. I smell more of an oaky, Bourbon smell then a "beer" smell. There is just a slight, sweet maltiness in the background. The Bourbon aroma is not overpowering, but was surprising.
The flavor is really a melding of bourbon and porter, with neither flavor overpowering the other, but rather complementing the other. There is a bit of a chocolate maltiness under the bourbon flavor. The bourbon aspects do give this beer a bit of a sharpness and brightness.
The beer is medium bodied, but does leave a very dry finish, sucking the moisture right out the mouth.
Overall, this is a nice beer, definitely unique. I find that the oaky, bourbony flavors tend to overpower the "beer" flavors, but not necessarily in a bad way, given the intent of the brewers to create an oak-barrel aged beer. As far as oak-aged beers go, this is one of the better ones I have had, but that doesn't mean it is my favorite style. I also found that this beer was quite expensive at about $12 a bomber. I am glad I tried this, but wouldn't purchase another, especially at this price.

The look of this beer was pretty good. I must say I was a little thrown by the label(the label didn't mention whiskey barrels). I'm not a big whiskey fan, so I was surprised when I tasted the hint of whiskey after my first sip. After my taste buds settled down I did enjoy it. Only one for this old boy. I really liked all the qualities it possessed, the dark color, the malty/whiskey taste. It left a nice warm feeling in my mouth. But only one.

I got this bottle in a trade with Nutbrown. Thanks Alan!
2007 Vintage
This pours a very very dark brown with just a bit of reddish hues showing when held up to the light. The head of foam tan is a good +1 finger and there's plenty of sticky lacing.
The smell has lots of things going on. I get oak, vanilla, dark fruit, and sweet malty goodness. Little bit of booze here as well.
The taste is quite sweet with lots of caramel malt and vanilla, light chocolate, some toffee, some oak(that one's growing on me) and a very light bitterness in the background that shines in the finish. Nice job there of not letting tyhis puppy get too sweet.
This on the upper end of medium bodied and it is fairly well carbonated. Very nice sipping brew.
Drinkability? It sure is tasty and has a very good mouthfeel so I'm going to say...very good. Maybe a bit stronger alcohol wise than the numbers say but that's not much of a gripe.
Thanks again to Alan for the chance to try another Baltic Porter and this is certainly an excellent one.

2007 vintage poured into a pint glass
A: Very dark brown/almost black with creamy tan head
S: wo, it smells as if i walked into a bourbon barrel, very bourbony and oaky. next thing i smell is vanilla, sweetness, and smokiness
T: bitterness attacks the pallet followed by a malty sweetness with vanilla and carmel overtones. some heat from the alcohol as the beer warms on the tongue. again the oak barrel aging comes through strongly on the taste...i like that.
M: medium to heavy body, creamy mouthfeel with mild carbonation, finish is on the slicker side.
D: this beer is a wonderfully complex brew but one or two glasses is going to be more than enough for me
Notes: working my way through their big beer series and now having tried this and their hopmouth I am excited to get to the rest of their big beer line-up

Cheers to czoch75 for this one, thanks Clint!
Pours mahogany with 3+ fingers of rocky mocha head. Above average lacing & head retention
S: Bourbon notes & dark fruit
T: Sour mash, dryness & oakyness up front. More of the same, with some oaky & coca-cola vanilla notes & more sour mash & some dark chcolate as this warms. Finishes sour with vanilla sweetness 8 a bit of a booze kiss
MF: Medium bodied, low carbonation, smooth & sticky
Drinks prety easy, a pretty good crack at the style, needs more chocolate or dark fruit to make me happy. If you don't like sour mash you may want to avoid this one

3.73/5 rDev -3.1%
A: Poured a dark, near black color with a light cinnamon/beige colored head that was creamy and well lasting but left little lacing.
S: boozy with an oaky alcohol aroma along with some vanilla and dry bitter chocolate.
T: a slight astringency. The beer was aged in 10yr old oak cask barrels that once held whiskey which is very noticeable in both the nose and flavor. A big alcohol flavor of whiskey. 7.8 abv but drinks much bigger greets you from the get go. There is some slight burnt malting and charred woodiness with an earthy bitterness as well. Some dark burnt sugars add just a hint of sweetness as well some dry vanilla creamer notes. The huge whiskey flavor is huge, perhaps a tad to much so and is comparable to dropping a shot in a 12oz glass of dark beer.
M: thin with light carbonation while the oaky vanilla alcohol flavor just takes over dominating the tongue.
D: Not bad but just way to much whiskey flavor in my beer to enjoy in 120z. Maybe if left to mellow a bit through aging this could be much more subtle and drinkable, otherwise while fresh was a little strong.

22 oz bottle. Standard cap. Fairly nice pressure sensitive label with some nice Celtic details.
Pours an opaque black body beneath a creamy head of dark tan that borders on moving into 'light brown' stature. The head retention is quite good, and it maintains a solid cap throughout the glass, leaving solid walls of lace as it goes.
In the nose the Bourbon is quite apparent; as is a bit of lightly charred oak. And there's also a very hearty helping of yeasty fruitiness that includes juicy red delicious apples, sweet red berries, a hint of melon, and even some coconut milk.
The darker, more roasty notes appear in the flavor, but they're also threaded through and through with the yeasty fruitiness, giving it a thinner, and more accessible character throughout. If this is "Shipwreck Porter", then it must have been a pirate ship loaded with gold, bananas, tropical fruit (melon, papaya), and cocoa. It's bright and vibrant, and full of flavor. It finishes dry with loads of fruit (apple, strawberry, kiwi) and cocoa.
The bitterness is balanced, and without being strong it's still firm. It lingers on the palate with melon and apple and a bit of Bourbon. It's almost exactly like Laird's AppleJack. Interesting!!!!
Overall, I was impressed at how drinkable this beer was given the hype. It finishes dry with loads of fruit (apple, strawberry, kiwi). Very nice! Certainly worth trying!

Served on-tap at Teresa's Next Door in Wayne, PA.
Pours a dark black with a thin beige head. Aroma dominated by whiskey but also has hints of chocolate and coffee. The bourbon barrel aging results in a strong whiskey presence that is accompanied by malty chocolate, coffee, dark fruit and vanilla flavors. Very tasty!

Bottle shows 2007 vintage on label, however label does not confirm abv. Listed here @ 7.8 2008 vintage is at 11%. I can say there is alcohol in the beer but just not how much.
Pours nearly black with a coffee two cream colored head. Retention is quite decent with some lacing left.
Oak character is quite strong but not overstated. Good amount of vanilla aroma. Roasted malt and a slight smokiness rounds out the smell quite nicely.
Once again the oak is very noticeable in the taste as it was in the nose. Coffee and maybe slight chocolate taste appear under the woodiness. Light vanilla flavor as well. Alcohol is slightly warming.
Medium to just shy of full bodied. Drinks very smooth. Lower carbonation but well suited.
Rather enjoyable and easy to drink. Though I would not want more than a bottle.

22oz bottle acquired in a couple of trades.
***This one was a gusher - poured all over my bar and left a nice trail all the way to the bathroom sink. Why do the majority of Arcadia beers do this (and why don't I remember that until too late!).***
Poured a dark, dark brown with a large sized off white head. Aromas of wood, vanilla, anise, and bourbon. Tastes of ligher wood, vanilla, brown sugar, roast, and light chocolate. For some reason, both the aromas and tastes reminded me a little of root beer.

Three Years Later Leno Challenges McCain for Picking Palin
It's been three and a half years since John McCain asked Sarah Palin to be his running mate in the 2008 presidential campaign, but liberal media members still can't accept it.
On Wednesday's Tonight Show, host Jay Leno - for what must be approaching the millionth time - challenged the Arizona Senator for his decision (video follows with transcript and commentary):
JAY LENO, HOST: Now, this movie "Game Change," it comes on HBO next week.
SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN (R-ARIZONA): I hope it's one of those silent ones.
LENO: No, it's not, it's not silent. But it deals with Sarah Palin and the whole election. Are you going to watch the movie?
MCCAIN: No.
LENO: No? No?
MCCAIN: No. I heard enough about the book that it was taken from…
LENO: Yeah.
MCCAIN: …unattributed quotes, unnamed sources.
LENO: Yeah.
MCCAIN: But it's a free country.
LENO: Yeah, yeah. Well, you come off very good in the movie.
MCCAIN: Is that right?
LENO: Yes, you do. You come off as the gentleman you are. And, and I thought it was quite fair. Yeah, I thought you really came off, because sometimes you think, "Oh, they're going to portray me as." No, I thought it was good, and your reluctance to go after the Reverend Wright, with Obama, and all that, you didn't want to fight a dirty campaign. I thought you came off very good. So, you can make a little bit off of that.
[ Applause ]
What a surprise Leno would be thrilled McCain didn't go after all the skeletons in Obama's closet basically handing the election to the junior senator from Illinois. It seems a metaphysical certitude he won't have any problem with the President mercilessly attacking whoever his opponent is this year.
LENO: I mean, let me ask you about that. I know that you say you still stand by that decision. Would you do the same thing again, picking Sarah Palin?
MCCAIN: Oh, sure. Listen, facts are stubborn things as Ronald Reagan used to say. We were three points down before she spoke at the convention. She beat Joe Biden, the gift that keeps on giving, Joe Biden…
LENO: Right.
[ Light laughter ]
MCCAIN: …in the debate. She energized…
LENO: Did she beat him in the debate, or she didn't? She looked okay in the debate. I don't know if she won the debate.
MCCAIN: Well, you know.
LENO: I think people didn't expect her to hold her own and she did.
MCCAIN: Here was a young governor, female, against a guy who had been in the Senate for 30 some years. And in my view, that means she won a victory. She energized our base, she's a a good and decent person.
LENO: Oh, I never said she wasn't a decent person.
MCCAIN: Her husband is a fine person.
LENO: Yeah.
MCCAIN: I think she would have made an excellent vice president, and I understand the controversy, but frankly I've not seen as constant and relentless attacks on her as I have observed on anyone. But again, so, it's a free country. I have to…
LENO: But, don't you get back what you give a little bit?
MCCAIN: I have to look back with nothing but pride. And the fact that a guy that stood fifth from the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy would get the nomination from the Republican Party for President of the United States.
"Don't you get back what you give a little bit?"
Exactly what did Palin do prior to being chosen as McCain's running mate that warranted the media attacks she received after that point?
That's a question I wish McCain would have asked his host.

Comedians are not leaders. It's a sad state of affairs when people watch Leno, Maher and Stewart thinking they are getting a dose of reality. And that comedienne on SNL who achieved her career making non-factual fun of Palin is pretty disgusting. Take these people for what they are worth....a joke.

I've got no problem with Tina Fey's parody of Palin
Submitted by Galvanic on Thu, 03/01/2012 - 5:02pm.
Parody is parody.
What I objected to was the MSM's quoting of Fey's characterization as if it were Palin's quote. I believe there was one point where the network and cable news programs were airing clips of Fey more than clips of Palin, and even the pundits got confused.
One of the most idiotic moments occurred on The McLaughling Group when Lefty Eleanor Clift quoted Palin as having said. "I can see Russia from my house." Buchanan and Druckerman immediately corrected Clift, and she replied with, "Well, that's what she (Palin) meant to say."
It was the unrelenting bombardment of this decent and very successful woman that created the media image of Palin.

Doubt Leno knows
Submitted by jakesnake on Thu, 03/01/2012 - 12:09pm.
McCain should point out to Leno that in the last year Palin had been the keynote speaker at forums in N.Y., India, and S.Korea.
She received excellent reviews. The media was there, but their attitude was: No gaffes, no errors, no story.
In S.Korea, the other two speakers were former P.M. Gordon Brown, former W.H. economic advisor and President of Harvard, Larry Summers. Pretty lofty shared speakership.
Had she made gaffes, then Leno would know about it, and use it in his monologue.

Leno's a total dope, but actually the McCain Mutiny stayed fairly classy during this ludicrous exchange with ol' Lantern Jaw. McCain MAY know that he did as 'well' as he did BECAUSE of Palin................but the guy still ran a hideous campaign, and he was a lame and uninspired candidate going up against Boy Barry Soetoro Barack Hussein Obama (whom McCain would NOT allow his people to say the full name!!!), who was riding a tidal wave of hope/hype and change/chains...............and, of course, the Mutiny kept thinking that the media was his 'friends'!!!

please, let's cut McCain some slack folks
Submitted by lotr on Thu, 03/01/2012 - 2:33pm.
He fielded the question quite admirably, especially considering the audience, even asserting (now) that "she would've made a great vice president."
Not only that, but he's the one who picked her to begin with. Most of us outside of Alaska were unfamiliar with her until he "found" her.
There is no perfect politician. Even now as we speak, there are a great many on the far-left who are dissatisfied with Pres. Obama, and let's just say it's not because they think he's "too liberal." McCain lost because he didn't deliver on the campaign, including at the debates, and he couldn't match the charisma and media favoritism of the senator from Illinois to secure independent voters. Pray that it doesn't happen again in 2012.

IMO, it's obvious that the unnamed sources were Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace. The only reason why conservatives supported John McCain was Sarah Palin. Without her, more conservatives would have stayed home instead of voting for the maverick moderate.

Both my wife and I were going to vote for Bob Barr who was the libertarian candidate in 2008. When McCain picked Sarah Palin and we heard her speak we decided to go ahead and vote for McCain. He made a great choice for VP and looking back he knows he did what he needed to so it wouldn't be another defeat like Walter Mondale against Reagan.

Book Description:This book examines the effects of environmental heterogeneity, or patchiness, on populations of plants and animals. The factors explored include variations in space, time, climactic conditions, food and other resources, and exposure to predators and parasites. In contrast to the once-prevailing view that environmental variation can be averaged-out without losing essential dynamics, the contributors to this volume find such heterogeneities often play a significant role in structuring large populations, especially in lessening the risk of extinction. Topics include the ways animals choose between patches that will expose them to different probabilities of starvation and predation, conservation in a variable environment and the optimal size of reserves, sex determination and sex ratios, patchiness and community structure, and extinctions of populations in correlated environments. The book will be of interest to ecologists, entomologists, environmental scientists, population geneticists, and biologists specializing in evolution, population, or conservation.

It should come as no surprise to my regular readers that I don't do New Year's resolutions. Nope. Don't believe in them. In fact, in the entire time I've written this column (going on 14 years now) I have not once dedicated a column to any New Year's resolutions. I've confessed that I know any resolution or promise I make will be one I will break before the new year is even a week old. I'm just that kind of gal.
Truth be told, you probably don't do what you resolve to do, either. Kind of makes us feel pretty crummy, doesn't it? Probably about as crummy as Peter felt that day in the Garden of Gethsemane when he fell asleep while Jesus was praying. What was it Jesus told him? Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak (Matthew 26:41).
Therein lies the problem. We know we are weak. We are willing — in our minds at least — to become a new person and to change what needs changing. But when it comes to doing that which we should do as opposed to that which we really do, we are weak as newborn kittens.
The reason it's so hard to make resolutions? It means we need to make changes. The reason it's so hard to make changes? The flesh is weak. The reason the flesh is weak? We listen to the call of Satan instead of the call of the Savior.
Last Sunday, the teenagers in my Sunday school class helped me come up with a way to keep our resolutions. Simply put, we need to change the way we are thinking. Philippians 4:8 outlines the plan for us: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things."

Pensionable Service
Definition of 'Pensionable Service'
The period of service, expressed in a yearly figure, for which a worker has established pension credits for a pension plan. Pension benefits are typically based on the worker's pensionable service and highest average salary.
Investopedia explains 'Pensionable Service'
The pensionable service value calculated for each worker is most commonly based on the employer's record of the actual units (hours, years etc) worked. This includes any periods of purchased service which the pensioner has opted to purchase. Pension plans may have differing calculations for pensionable service, so it is important for prospective pensioners to be aware of the terms of their pension plan.

If you have an illness or severe pain, it's hard not to let the medical condition affect daily activities and your outlook on life. People in pain often do not seek help for themselves, and when suffering lasts a long time they tend to give up. Or the medical system wears them down. People learn to adapt to feeling bad, and they come to believe that things will never get better. That's why success is so rare.
Want to Feel Better? Change Your Mind and Change the Outcome
Regardless of the severity of your condition and the amount of progress you are making, it is up to you—and you alone—to find the inner strength to continue. Let go of focusing on what others can do for you.
Try to think differently, keeping the following principles in mind:
- There's a difference between knowing and believing.
It's really a difference of degrees. Believing that you could be 100 percent free of pain is fine. But what happens if you hold the belief that it will happen and then you have a setback? You could find yourself questioning that belief on some level.
On the other hand, knowing that you have the power to help yourself feel better will help you get through the inevitable ups and downs. So live knowing.
- Live with expectancy. Go through each day confident that you are going to get better and stay healthy. This starts with your thoughts and the words you use because they will affect your actions.
If you haven't been able to do something you love for a very long time, tell yourself you're going to be doing it on a specific date in the future. Talk to everyone about it. Read books and watch videos about it. Fill your mind with the joy of it. Then begin to prepare for it. Dust off that fishing pole. Clean that bike. Buy that new pair of running shoes and put them where you can see them every day to remind you that you expect to run again.
Five Tips to Help You Feel Better
- Change the way you think and feel about your situation.
- Allow others to help you, even if they are not professionals.
- Do not give in or let the system beat you down.
- Recognize small gains as progress and hope that you are getting better.
- Treat the symptoms and the causes of your condition.
Don't let five years pass without taking responsibility for improving your health. If you are suffering now, you will only continue to suffer unless you educate yourself and take action.
Live knowing you can feel better. Live expecting to feel better. Live by taking action and not settling until you have achieved your goals.

A record number of people showed up to get vaccinated.
People were lined up outside the door at 8am this morning before they even opened, many of them rushed in after hearing about others dying from the flu
Better safe than sorry...
That was the sentiment of just about everyone in line. Randy Henderson heard about the recent flu deaths and decided it was time to get vaccinated...
We should take care of ourselves, I've heard 3-4 people have died, that should have people thinking about it, nothing to play with
Marie Cowart had no intention of getting a shot...But I'm here for a flu shot
Her husband, Richard Cowart pushed for the both of them to go in.
It's dangerous if you don't get the shot, makes you susceptible to getting the flu
Sacred Heart has been holding free flu clinics since November.
Registered Nurse, Teresa Jansen has never seen such a demand...
We have given so many, we haven't stopped to count, beat all records for sure
They will be doing this several more times this month, the next time is on Jan 22 at the Bayview Senior Center.
All they require is that anyone who comes in is older than 18 and pregnant women must have a note from their doctor...
You still have a chance to get your free flu shot if you qualify.
Shots will be given out every Tuesday for the rest of this month, and Friday, January 30th.

Former Senator Arlen Specter has died.Specter spent 30 years representing Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate, for most of the time as a Republican, though he was often at odds with the GOP leadership. He began his political career as a Democrat, and in 2009 returned to the party. He was one of only three Republicans in Congress to vote for President Barack Obama's stimulus. Sen. Patrick Leahy, who first befriended Specter during their days as prosecutors, and later worked with him on the judiciary committee, said he will be missed.
"He was a person who put the country ahead of party. He worried far more about what was the right thing to do then what was the political thing to do," Leahy said. "You make certain friendships in the senate -- some are special ones. He was one of the special ones."Specter died at his home in Philadelphia from complications of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He was 82.

When Alex Tejero started his first year of teaching at Riverside Elementary School in Miami, he was given a classroom with only a chalkboard.
Low on resources and eager to work hands-on with his fourth-grade students, he was able to get a projector for his class. Donors Choose and 15 donors made that possible.
Donors Choose is an online charity that helps teachers have their classroom needs fulfilled through monetary donations.
"Every year, teachers spend millions of dollars out of pocket for their classrooms," said Charles Best, founder and CEO of Donors Choose. "Our goal has been to fulfill these classroom needs by connecting teachers with donors looking to support them."
Best founded Donors Choose while he was a social studies teacher in the Bronx. After seeing the lack of funding at his school, he set out to find funding for classrooms through individuals offering support.
The donation process starts when public school teachers submit their classroom project requests to DonorsChoose.org. With the requests, teachers describe their project and select the specific products they need.
To ensure integrity, Donors Choose confirms the prices of the products and then posts the request.
Individuals nationwide are then able to see the projects and donate to any that they choose. Then Donors Choose buys the items and delivers them to the schools.
"It's nice to see the connection between the donors and the teachers doing the project," said Nancy Marmesh, a 39-year veteran teacher at Coconut Grove Elementary School.
Marmesh is currently requesting funding to create a science laboratory in her fifth-grade class.
With two months left on her project request, donors have given $221 toward her goal of $545.
Projects do not end once the target amount is reached. When materials are delivered to the classroom, donors receive thank-you notes and photos from the classes they supported.
In six years, Tejero has had more than a dozen projects fulfilled through the site.
A similar program, Adopt a Classroom, lets donors earmark funds for a particular classroom. It has been running since 1998.
Since 2000, Donors Choose has helped raise more than $187 million and has helped more than nine million students across the country.
By 2017, the site's goal is to inspire a million people to give $100 million to help all of the nation's high-poverty public schools in one school year.
"We want every student to have the opportunity to get a great education," Best said. "That is why we feel a great responsibility to the thousands of teachers in America with needs. It is our responsibility to help ensure their success."
