A - Pours a coppery orange, quite clear with a finger of white head. Extensive rings of lacing.
S - Wild yeast, citrus and mango, tripel like without much hoppiness.
T - Big juicy sweet yellow flesh peaches, sweet mango, orange and honey. Very pleasant.
M - Medium carbonation, medium body, feels like it could/should be creamier.
O - Tasty little offering from Little Creatures, nothing too big or brash but that's no surprise. Not their best single batch but mildly interesting.

Pint bottle thanks to mulder1010, poured into a Lost Abbey Teku glass.
Deep golden colour, solid off-white foam on top that laces in waves and spots at times. Impressive head retention.
Smell has a little bit of mango and pine hop aroma, followed by Belgian yeast and candy, similar to boiled sweets at times.
Taste has a little bit of pine sap, some candy and a touch of yeast. All are pretty small players though with none wanting to dominate.
Feels syrupy, almost like Pepsi Max at the start, some thinness as well. Then some sweetness and a tiny bit of bitterness at the end. Different, that's for sure.
All in all, pretty average. If it were less syrupy, it would improve a heap and be fun to drink. As an Australian, worth trying to see their take on it, but otherwise, wouldn't go out on a limb to recommend.

Pours amber with a large, fading head.
Very hoppy aroma, with prominent floral and spicy notes, but also showing Belgian esters and phenols, hinting at green apples, grapes and peaches. Underneath all that is hefty amounts of caramel and toffee. Very sweet smelling.
Pretty interesting flavours too. More toffee, spicy and piny hops, Belgian doughy notes and some booze. Perhaps a bit too malt though.
Carbonation is a bit intense.
Very interesting stuff. An eclectic mix of hops, Belgian phenols/esters and hefty amounts of sweet rich malt.

Clear orange amber with a large white head. Takes on a rocky look as it recedes, reminiscent of foamy deposits seen near turbulent river or beach. Leaves the odd sticky lace trail.
Leads with dank tropical, vegetal hops, mostly peach, rockmelon and orange. Behind are plenty of pear and apple esters. Quite a strong grainy note, but not enough to soften what is a very sweet nose.
Similar profile, with mild presence of grapefruit and orange peel the only relief from the relentless sweetness. I'm picking up what some other reviewers have noted, in an artificial, cheap cordial character to the flavours. Reminds me of those Sunny Boy ice blocks I had as a kid.
Very syrupy, which probably goes some way to explaining the mental connection with cordial. Eventually leads into a mildly bitter finish.
Bit dubious about the merits of piling sweet esters on top of massively candied hops. More spicy phenols or piney, earthy hop character would have helped this a lot. As it is, it comes across as almost 'synthetic'.

Drank from my Duvel tulip
A - Pours a slightly hazy copper colour, with a one fingered White head that reduces slowly.
S - Aromas of hop and sweet candied sugar.
T - Up front some small hop and then the candied sugar just dominates and becomes quite sickly. The finish is a littel boozy.
M - Medium body and carbonation.
O - I applaud LC for taking on brews of this type, however it tastes like an English Pale Ale with a heap of candied sugar thrown in. When I think of Belgian IPA's I think of Poperings Hommel and Houblon Chouff. This is way off the mark compared to those. But I would like to see LC brew some more Belgian style beers instead of the British/American styles. Why? because they are the most difficult styles to replicate.

Imperial Pint poured into a snifter
Thanks to me for getting this in. Well, I ordered this for work so I can thank me. :)
A-- Poured a clear golden honey color. Half finger white head that faded quickly to a collar. Couple of bubbles here and there. Aggressive swirling got a solid one and a half finger head. Much better body with swirling. One half moon of lacing.
S-- At first some faint hop smell but very quickly the Belgian malts, yeast and candied sugar take over. Lots of candied peach, orange, and some candied bread. Very Belgian and with no alcohol smell or too sweet. Well balanced.
T-- Thin body and taste. Loses a lot of the Belgian character that the nose has. A slightly harsh and watery hop bitterness with this. I really do not want to use the words hop water but will. Some peach, orange and candied sugar make appearances but really just a watery taste.
M-- Low carbonation and lighter feel. Missing a backbone and a punch in this. Does get a bit prickly in the last 1/3 rd of the bottle but not enough to save this. Some fruity, syrupy notes, followed by harsh hops and then a clean lemon citrus finish. Just does not always mesh well as gets all over the board.
O-- Really wanted to like this beer. Great looking, great nose but just a mess of a taste and feel. Thin taste finishing with a strange hop water taste and got just a syrupy mess. No clear idea what it wanted to be. Bummer.

On tap at the Great Northern Hotel in Carlton during the WA PoO takeover, Good Beer Week 2012. Reviewed from notes.
Pours a red-tinged amber-gold, slight haze in the glass. Head is off-white, a foamy cloud, decent lace. Not bad.
Malty nose; buttery with a hint of some floral fruity hops peeking through but mostly malt based, a bit too much on the sweet side. More hops would be good, mostly because something is needed to temper the sweetness I'm getting.
Taste is sweet upfront: caramel, toffee etc. Back is quite mediciney with residual sugar and some dirty chocolatey notes as well. Quite gluggy and syrupy actually. Belgian notes, but maybe a touch underfermented. Cleansing hops needed badly.
Dries up a bit on the back, but decently full. Maybe a touch of booze heat as it goes down.
A bit of a confused beer; not quite one thing or the other and ultimately slightly muddy.

On-tap at the Great Northern Hotel in North Carlton as part of the Pint of Origin event during Good Beer Week.
Pours a hazy gold colour, with a solid body. Head is filmy but firm and solid white. Fine carbonation streams through the tight body. Looks good overall.
Nose is sweet and round, with classic Belgian fruity esters and a little caramel malt character. It's cut slightly with a grassy hop character, but far less than I anticipated. It feels quite big too; you can sense the booze, even though it's not all that heavy. It's not bad—well made but a little underwhelming.
Taste is smooth and round, and helped by a very smooth feel. There's none of those harsh phenols or boozy heat that you often get with a poorly-made Belgian style ale. Hint of the grass again, but the US hops (such as they are) are really underplayed. The back is dry and crisp, with a slightly medicinal aftertaste.
Solidly made beer. It's not altogether that exciting, and I've had very few Belgian style beers outside Belgium that really do the styles justice—and this beer doesn't do enough to make me think it's "not Belgian style" and so suffers the same fate.

Picked up a bottled version of this after having it at the Dining Hall on release day.
A - Pours a coppery/golden. Bright. Good carbonation. Fluffy white head. Good thick spattering of white lace and a half finger of retention.
S - Candi sugar, Belgian yeast faint, some Tripel elements kickin around with some citrus hop. Juicy grapefruit with some booze and Belgian style yeast/orange.
T - Much sweeter than I remember on tap. Sweet candi sugar, and a mild citrus hop balance to go along with it. Grapefruit, honey.
M - Nice carbonation, medium body, and a good dryness in the finish.
O/D - Less interesting that the freshly tapped version. Still tasty and different but not as hoppy as I would have liked, and certainly much sweeter than I would like. Still tasty though. I wouldn't have another in the bottle.

I love a good Little Creatures single batch: utterly, unashamedly and completely! These guys are where the Australian beer scene should be at but unfortunately we're being held back by the "flaming drongo" bogan masses quaffing V(itamin)B and conversing about how to fit a 355 V8 into the crappy rust-filled Commodore VK sitting on cinder blocks in their front yard. Yeah we're a lucky country, one where your favourite lagers are all the same colour, aroma and taste but come out of different taps #thelagerspiracy - In my opinion beer is the one thing we should be copying from the English and Americans, bugger everything else they have to offer, we'll have the beer!
Poured from a pint bottle into a nonic pint (yeah I know it's a Belgian-style tripel that should go into a goblet, shut up).
A: This fine tripel pours a cloudy deep orange body with a fast-fleeting white head, which dissolves into a thin ring around the glass - much like a classic English ale.
S: Hops are strong on the nose; Chinook cannabis at the front with a spicy Cascade thrown in and a heady candied sugar/malt mixture. It's all about the hops here and one can easily get lost in a purple haze breathing this fine brew in.
T: Amazing! This is a brilliant master-stroke merging of classic hoppy American pale ale flavours with a Belgian tripel - my mind is officially blown. Leading the flavour charge is a bubblegum candied sugar, yeast and grain base (possibly the most bubblegum tasting brew I've tried in my - admittedly limited - beer drinking experience). With a back-note of fairly spicy and herbaceous hops. Yes it is quite an odd combination of flavours but dammit if Little Creatures hasn't made it work. The bitterness at the back end is right in the sweet spot for me - too bitter for Aussie drinkers and not bitter enough for Americans, that's my taste to a tee.
M: The carbonation is mid to light with a medium body, leaning more towards a tripel style rather than being overly APA, which is a result of the yeast used.
D: This is one beer experiment that succeeds in an unexpected fashion, and it is an unexpected mix of styles that proves Little Creatures are on the ball when it comes to the game of brewing. Which is not a game, it is VERY DEADLY SERIOUS. I don't know about the rest of the beer drinking population but I am certainly going to buy a case of this before they stop selling it. Drinkable: "Please sir, can I have more?", "MORE?!?!"... "Well no you cannot because they stopped brewing it, sucker!". Enough said?
Food match: Hmmmm, this is a quandary - both a great beer for dessert and spicy Asian cuisine, you choose.

Ive been looking forward to this ever since i heard about it and pours a almost clear golden hue which leaves a frothy two finger head that stays and nice lacing,the smell is tarty Belgian yeast,salami,ripe white fruit and a light touch of floral hops,the mouthfeel is just under medium bodied and abit light for me with tastes of funky Belgian yeast,candied sugar,white grapes,apple juice,a slight touch of floral bitter hops and the finish is quite sweet with a nice breadiness to it and overall its definately a nice hybrid brew i know they used American hops with Belgian malts and yeast but the hops get lost a little bit in the sweetness and funkiness of it all but in saying that its a nice change for their single batch and with the sweetness and high ABV i think Tripel probably sums it up as it definately doesnt have the hoppiness of an IPA cheers.

3.03/5 rDev -10.1%
Pours a deep orange gold with a half finger head that dies.
Aromas have a hint of mango, some hops, Belgian yeast.
Taste is very sweet up-front, alcohol driven and quite fiery. Mango turns to a hint of apricot. Hops start to build. Very dry finish, just to confuse. Any taste dies quickly.
Mouthfeel is medium/heavy and quite oily.
Overall, a bit of a mish-mash. Curates egg?

Pours a gold mango colour with good head and lacing.
Nose is pear, celery, plastic. Hops are generally coming behind the Belgian yeast but they're ok when they present themselves, which is increasingly infrequently.
Taste is cloyingly sweet, while also being boozy and bitter from hops. Not good.
Mouthfeel also suffers from these elements.
Ugh, why would I want to drink this?
Should have just brewed Big Dipper again. Irredeemable drainpour.

With churrasco steaks, grilled red-snapper fillets, and shredded flank steaks rubbed with Cuban spices, it's hard to tell which dish earned Papi's Cuban & Caribbean Grill the tile of Best Cuban fare in 2010 and 2011 from the readers of Creative Loafing Atlanta. It could have been owner Rey Regalado's recipe for pork marinade passed on from his father. Brought to America in a harrowing tale of escape from oppression, the signature sauce now trickles beneath layers of smoked pork, ham, swiss cheese, and dill pickles on the cuban sandwich or traditional masitas de puerco made with tender cubed pork. Selecting from a stash of family recipes, chefs fill plates with bold flavors and cap meals with such sweet treats as coconut flan and rice pudding. As the sun falls out of the sky on Fridays and Saturdays, live salsa music populates the dining room with toe-tapping beats and digestion-aiding rhythms.
William David Salon is housed in a 1940s cottage in Alpharetta, where customers are warmly greeted by a team of stylists who consult with each of their clients over coffee or wine in the salon?s gourmet kitchen. The salon is host to a variety of products from top brands including Davines, DS Labs, and Ref. The salon's aestheticians further enhance clients' natural beauty with facials, microdermabrasion, peels, and masks.
At Havana South Restaurant and Bar, a conga line of authentic Cuban entrees parades out of the kitchen, transporting diners to the Caribbean with dishes such as picadillo a la Cubana and ropa vieja in criolle sauce. The chef draws on his culinary experience to populate the menu with true Cuban cuisine.
Meanwhile, drink enthusiasts can marvel at servers using guava, mango, and passion fruit to brew up refreshing batches of house-made mojitos. The tropical flavor carries over to the eatery's decor as well. A life-size painting of palm trees and domino players on the beach may fool diners into thinking that they're dining on the coast, whereas crimson-hued walls compliment heated salsa nights that are speckled throughout the eatery?s event schedule. Spanish music constantly pours from the speakers, inspiring guests to get up and dance, a practice encouraged by the staff.
Piquant Caribbean spices meet artistic plating and global culinary influences inside Cala Bar and Grill, where the kitchen staff tosses crawfish and jerk chicken into bowls of creamy pasta and pairs blackened tilapia with white-cheddar grits. Platefuls of plantains and a mix of rice and peas are served as sides, and the cocktails?flavored with rum, ginger beer, and mint sprigs?are bestowed with names such as Voodoo and Jamaica Mule.
Bright-red accent walls and colorful artwork on the dining room's walls juxtapose with a monochromatic theme that fills the space, conveyed via black tables, chairs, and banquettes. The result is a vibrant space that gives off a modern vibe. Throughout the week, the bar and grill treats guests to live performances by musicians and comedians.
Coco Cabana brings a taste of Cuba to Tucker with a varied selection of sandwiches and other finger-friendly eats. The restaurant boasts an especially lengthy list of tapas, including fried calamari, stuffed zucchini, and a creation called El Cubanito: roast pork, Serrano ham, pickles, and cheese, all brought together with spicy mustard and Cuban bread. Visitors can also wrap their hands or surgically attached panini presses around sandwiches, such as fried tilapia with saut?ed onions and breaded chicken breast with tomato sauce.
The bold flavors of Cuba take center stage at Palomilla's Grill House. The chefs specialize in traditional Cuban recipes, from plates of crispy fried plantains to tender pork roasted in a blend of tropical juices, mojo sauce, and garlic. They incorporate a wide range of ingredients to craft whole fried red snapper to creamy flan made with a hint of coconut. Although they stick to more traditional recipes for dishes, the staff find room to experiment more behind the bar and their in-home chemistry labs. Bartenders mix together six styles of mojitos using the restaurant's signature homemade mojito mix and a variety of Caribbean rums. These drinks help give guests the courage necessary to hit the dance floor during live music showcases on the weekend.

Observations from Armano Salguero's Dolphins in Depth
optimistic indications from Koa Misi
Koa Misi, Miami's best answer to the strong side outside linebacker job, plays fast. Yes, it is only pratice. And there are not pard or hitting here. But the guy just gets there with alacrity. He doesn't dither.
He also looks natural in coverage which is kind of important considering Misi played mostly as a defensive end at Utah.
"He handled information very easy within the coverage," Coach Tony Sparano said of Misi. "I just like the way he moved that way."

Ahead of its self-imposed 90-day deadline, the University of Iowa is releasing the final report on a January workout that sent thirteen Hawkeye football players to the hospital with rhabdomyolysis. Their findings: That a certain squat workout was to blame for the players' kidney malfunctions (in addition to unspecified injuries to other players); that no player's condition was exacerbated by drugs or supplements, and that the university's response to the incident was, obviously, less than ideal. Our Iowa blog wraps up this unfortunate chapter in Hawkeye history:
The story here, in both the rhabdomyolysis outbreak itself and the University of Iowa's handling of it, is one of poor preparation. The report doesn't explicitly say it, but it certainly implies that the players didn't return from three weeks spent at home eating turkey prepared to jump into heavy workouts. The report essentially admits that the strength and conditioning staff wasn't prepared for, or even knowledgeable about, rhabdomyolysis, and had no response when it began spreading through the team. And the report didn't need to tell us what the FOIA requests had already confirmed, that the athletic department wasn't anywhere near prepared for what to do once the press and public had it.
For more on the report itself and further discussion, visit Black Heart Gold Pants, where we're sure they're thrilled to not have to type "rhabdomyolysis" ever again.

Seven months later... It's time NOW for fair pay!July 22, 2014
It was on Sunday that the average earnings of Black women in the United States FINALLY equaled the average earnings of white men in 2013. It is July. We're now 7 months into 2014 – in fact, it's almost August. That means Black women had to work for more than 19 months to earn what white men earned in 12 months because Black women currently make only 64 cents to a white man's dollar. Your voice is needed now to bring this issue forward. The more of us who speak up, the faster we'll get to solutions.

That was the mantra my almost-4-year-old-daughter chanted over and over again last week when we went to Capitol Hill to deliver a message to Congress: 50 years ago the Equal Pay Act was passed but it's not working. Women still earn, on average 77 to the dollar for the same work – it's time to finally close the wage gap and pass the Paycheck Fairness Act . What a day! MomsRising members and kids took to the halls of Congress to stand up for #FairPay Hands down, hand-delivering MomsRising member messages and stories to Congress is the thing I love most about my job. It makes me feel humbled and...
Moms "Push" Florida Gov. Rick Scott to veto a bill that hurts families.June 11, 2013
Earlier this year the Florida legislature passed a bill that prevents local governments from writing and passing earned sick time laws and voters from petitioning to put earned sick time initiatives on the ballot such as the pending referendum in Orange County. MomsRising is proud to work with partners, including OrganizeNow and others to urge Gov. Rick Scott to veto this terrible bill. Earlier this week MomsRising volunteer Kelly joined partners to help deliver over 11,000 petitions to the Gov.'s office. Here is Kelly's story: Earlier this week I joined Organize NOW as a representative of...

Disney vs. DemocracyApril 24, 2013
Mickey Mouse now has a side gig as a corporate lobbyist?! Apparently. Because right now in Florida, in the final days of the state legislative session, the Orlando Sentinel reports that Disney is working to make it impossible for local Florida cities and counties to pass earned sick time laws. [ 1 ] In fact, as reported in the Orlando Sentinel, Disney helped write the bill! " Walt Disney World and Darden Restaurants, owner of the Red Lobster and Olive Garden chains, helped draft the legislation, the sponsors said. " [ 2 ] What gives? Who wants to take their family on vacation to a place where...

In order to conceal this home from its uphill neighbors a shelf was cut into the narrow slice of grassland located between an access road on one side and the steep slopes of the West Coast on the other. The uphill land extends as a green roof over the underground portions of the home-terminating on the gently curved roof of the living room.
All utilities, including the 5000 gallon water storage tank, were placed underground in order to preserve the surrounding landscape.

For the first time in over two decades, Lenoir County has a new sheriff.
Chris Hill was sworn in as sheriff this morning at the courthouse. He replaces Billy Smith who retires after 24 years. Hill has been with the Lenoir County Sheriff's office for 30 years, most recently serving as chief deputy.
Hill tells 9 On Your Side that his first big task is getting the new Lenoir County Jail online and dealing with all the new challenges that comes with opening a new facility. He also tell us that are several personnel positions that he needs to hire.
After settling in to his new office he hopes to start reducing crime in Lenoir County rather than just containing it. He plans on getting the community more involved in preventing crime though community watch programs.

DOUGHERTY COUNTY - A horse was shot just before 4:00 along Bennett Road, a highly populated residential area in Eastern Dougherty County.
Witnesses told Dougherty County Police they heard one gun shot, then saw a black male wearing red shorts and a white tee-shirt run into a mobile home. At the same time, they saw the more than 10-year-old horse stumbling and eventually fall.
The horse was grazing in a small pecan grove owned by Hugh Smith. It sits between a mobile home park and Bennett Road, which is lined with homes.
"Had the horse not been hit and the bullet continued on the path it was on, it could very well have hit one of us or someone else who was outside," Bernice Paige said. "I think it is very dangerous and I don't understand why someone would do something like that."
Paige was outside when the shooting happened. Her nephews were mowing the lawn. She described the horse as "gentle" and one that the neighborhood "children loved."
No arrests have been made.

McClellan Ranch, the home for SCVAS offices and Nature Shop, is the City of
Cupertino's only nature and rural preserve. Located along Stevens Creek,
its cultural history goes back to prehistoric times when it was most likely
used by native peoples. Juan Bautista De Anza's 1776 expedition camped
along the creek banks in the area, and Captain Elisha Stephens who led the
first successful wagon train across the Sierra in 1844 was the original
Over the years the property changed hands several times and was used for
farming, an orchard, vineyard, and a dairy. When the city bought it in
1972, it was a horse ranch. In 1976, after lively community meetings and
debate, the city council dedicated the nearly 16-acre property as a Nature
and Rural Preserve
(Ordinance 710, January 5, 1976).
The city's Regulations and Guidelines
(see regulations 44292
listed and restricted the uses of
McClellan Ranch "to those which will maintain and protect the ecology of
the area, conserve the natural features and scenic values, expand community
awareness and understanding of natural history and the environment, and
provide enjoyment of the resources present consistent with their
In 1974, the city leased 2.5 acres of land from the Santa Clara Valley
Water District and added them to the preserve. It added an additional 3.1
acres on the west side of Stevens Creek in 1990. Finally, in 1993 the city
approved a comprehensive
Master Plan for McClellan Ranch
that recommended
many improvements in educational programming, habitat restoration, and
building restoration.
Soon after the ranch became public land, the Rolling Hills 4-H Club
established its headquarters and farm animal pens at the ranch and 60
community plots were offered to residents for organic gardening. A replica
blacksmith shop, a water tower, and a nature museum were added to the ranch
house, barn and dairy barn. Today, SCVAS leases the ranch house and stages
a Wildlife Education Day on the grounds each fall. Other groups regularly
hold many nature and farm-related educational programs and events at the
Ranch Wildlife
The creek, riparian woodland, meadow and old orchard habitats on McClellan
Ranch are breeding and feeding grounds for a wide variety of birds and
other wildlife. One hundred bird species have been recorded; about a dozen
black-tailed deer are permanent residents; and bobcats and coyotes have
been spotted, as have western pond turtles and steelhead trout.
Birders know it best for nesting Hooded Orioles and Western Bluebirds; a
resident Barn Owl sometimes spotted roosting in the barn; a breeding pair
of Red-shouldered Hawks; and wintering Golden-crowned and White-crowned
Sparrows. After a long absence, California Quail have returned, and Wood
Ducks or a Belted Kingfisher would be a lucky find at the creek.
Stevens Creek Trail and Plans for the Future
Cupertino and the Santa Clara Valley Water District have been planning the
future of the Stevens Creek corridor since 2001. A Stevens Creek Trail
Feasibility Study task force was followed by a park and recreation
master-planning project for approximately 60 acres of publicly-owned land
along the Stevens Creek corridor between Stevens Creek Boulevard and
McClellan Road. McClellan Ranch and Blackberry Farm are included in the
plan. The city invited public participation, and SCVAS staff and chapter
members spent many hours attending public meetings and reviewing proposals.
One of the controversial elements of the plan is the extension of Stevens
Creek Trail, envisioned as a regional, multi-use trail through the Stevens
Creek corridor from San Francisco Bay to the Santa Cruz Mountains. SCVAS
and other groups vigorously opposed routing the trail through McClellan
Ranch because of the potential impact of a heavily used recreational trail
on the serene McClellan Ranch setting.
To our disappointment, in 2005 the Cupertino City Council decided to route
the trail through the ranch. Our fear is that fast-moving bicyclists and
skaters will disturb wildlife and disrupt birding, gardening and other
quiet activities. We also worry that irresponsible trail users may start
side trails that degrade and destroy habitat and that dog owners may allow
their animals to run off-leash.
On a more positive note, the City of Cupertino and the Santa Clara Valley
Water District will improve the habitat of the creek for steelhead and
restore about six acres of land at Blackberry Farm to riparian and upland
habitat. SCVAS will work with the city to administer one of the several
grants that have been secured for creek restoration purposes. Construction
is scheduled to began in 2008..
To date, the planned restoration areas do not extend to McClellan Ranch,
except for the parcel leased from the water district. The west side of the
creek is particularly degraded and requires the attention of the city to
restore the riparian habitat.
Master planning for the Stevens Creek corridor is continuing and SCVAS will
participate in the process. Among other things, we will continue to press
for eventual Ranch restoration.
To reduce impacts of the trail, we will advocate signs and barriers to:

Paramedics struggling to cope in 'dangerously high' heat
Ambulance crews are struggling to cope in the heatwave as they try to rescue people in "dangerously high" temperatures.
Paramedic Karl Paddison warned that even healthy people can fall foul of hot sun, adding that the London Ambulance Service has to attend to people who have collapsed on a daily basis.
And the the worst effects are being felt by people stuck in lifts, in the capital's Underground, or those who are so burned they have to be admitted to A&E with sun stroke.

Family played a large role in Erik Helland jumping from the NBA to Wisconsin
Thanks to this great feature from Jessie Temple of Fox Sports Wisconsin, we're able to get a better introduction to Helland, Wisconsin men's basketball's new strength and conditioning coach. Helland spent 24 seasons with the Bulls and the last 12 as their head strength coach, but the Edgerton, Wis., native told Temple he just couldn't compensate for the rigorous work schedule with his family. "'I sat down and I crunched numbers when I was making this decision,' Helland said. 'If you count home games, where I leave my house at 8 o'clock in the morning, I don't get home until 11:30 at night. I looked at being away from my family 150-plus days last year. I couldn't reconcile that with my family.'"

17th Annual Minority Health Fair Kicks Off April 26
Story By: Brigitte Coles
|Email Story to Friend
Original Published: 4/17/2014
The 17th Annual Minority Health Fair will be held Saturday, April 26, at the Ocie Hill Neighborhood Center, 445 Bowman Street, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The health fair, a combined project of many Richland County agencies and partners, will offer many free health screenings.
"All of the health screenings are free at the Minority Health Fair. Many community partners come together to coordinate these screenings and we are proud to be part of that effort," said Martin Tremmel, Richland Public Health Commissioner. "This is a great opportunity for the community to take advantage of the screenings and get information about ways to improve and protect their health"
Among the free screenings are blood pressure checks, blood sugar and cholesterol screenings, mammograms, prostate screening, and many others. These screenings help give early warning signs associated with many ongoing health problems such as diabetes and heart disease. You do not need to be a minority to attend.
"The number of mammogram, prostate, cholesterol and hearing screening appointments is limited, and we are scheduling those appointments now," said Dana Eichelberger, a Minority Health Fair Committee member.
Those interested in scheduling an appointment for a mammogram, cholesterol or hearing screening should call 419-774-4544. Cholesterol screenings require a 12-hour fast.
Prostate screenings are for men age 50 and over and pre-registration is required. Call 419-524-2626 to schedule an appointment.
American Red Cross blood drive will occur on-site for the duration of the fair. Walk-ins are accepted. Those wishing to schedule a time to donate blood should call the Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767.
In addition to the many free activities and health screenings, the 7th Day Adventist Church will be providing free breakfast and lunch at the fair.
Free transportation will be provided by the Mary Bethune McLeod Center. Anyone needing transportation to the Minority Health Fair should call 419-522-2200 to schedule a ride.
More than 40 area agency booths and displays will be there with free health information and many giveaways. There will be food available and a variety of door prizes will be given away every hour. The Health Fair includes activities for all ages, and families are encouraged to attend.
For more information on the 17th Annual Minority Health Fair, call 419-774-4544, or go online at www.richlandhealth.org.

I've visited Dale Bros Brewery in Upland, CA on two occasions now and the word that comes to mind is lackluster. On my first visit I tried a mango IPA which tasted cloyingly sweet and chemically artificial. I couldn't even focus on the flavors of the beer because I was so distracted by the taste of mango extract; it was that prominent.
Visited again this past weekend and tried their Run-Away IPA. Not terrible or extremely flawed, just pedestrian and unmemorable. None of the flavors popped, it seemed sort of muddled and dark. No food served inside, but there was a couple of cute hippie type girls selling vegan fare from a tent on the patio. They seemed unhappy and hesitant to give out samples to customers who wondered what vegan food would taste like; a bad misstep on the part of these vendors because the guys ended up not getting any food since they couldn't taste it first.
Sipped off my girlfriends beer, which was a beer mixer. Dale Bros has a menu of mixed beers from their tap and she had ordered the barleywine and stout mix, which was fairly interesting. Other than the mixers, there is nothing terribly innovative or interesting going on here. I'd rather spend my hard earned money on a brewery that not only brews well, but brews interesting as well.

I recently stopped in at Dale Brothers since I was in the area on business. It's a fairly large spot with the brewing equipment and tasting area in a business park location. They had 8 of their beers on tap when I was in there. The quality of the beer was good with the beer served at a good temperature and in proper glassware. They offer tasters, full pours, and growlers for their beer. Prices were reasonable for the tasters with a price of $7 for 4. Service was pretty good, and the bartenders were able to answer my questions about the beer even though it got pretty busy. Overall, this is a pretty solid place with a good vibe but the beers aren't all that great.

High concentrations of dissolved carbon dioxide in the water lowers the pH and also impacts a fish's ability to utilize the available oxygen. © Nat Rea

Clams in Ninigret: One 50lb Bag at a Time

After going 0-5 last night in Pittsburgh, Jose Reyes found his groove again in his 31st multiple-hit game, against Pirates starter Charlie Morton. Morton performed the worst start of the season, allowing 7 runs with 6 earned and nine hits in less than 5 innings. While his backup defense wasn't doing too much for him as the pirates 44 game errorless streak was snapped tonight, Morton and his missteps like the Mets 5 run 4th inning were in the spotlight. Although the offense contributed 8 runs to this Mets second straight victory, the real story lies with Dillon Gee.
Dillon Gee, allowing 1 run and 8 hits over 8 innings, expanded his record to 7-0, becoming the first Mets rookie to do so. As Gee has allowed only one earned run or less in three of his last five outings, the Mets offense doesn't have to do much, but tonight they did.

The Lazy Yogi
Beneath Cosmic Skies
There Are No Strangers
There Are No Strangers
But do you need to have a relationship with yourself at all? Why can't you just *be* yourself? When you have a relationship with yourself, you have split yourself into two: 'I' and 'myself,' subject and object…In the state of enlightenment, you *are* yourself—'you' and 'yourself' merge into one.
You do not judge yourself, you do not feel sorry for yourself, you are not proud of yourself, you do not love yourself, you do not hate yourself, and so on. There is no 'self' that you need to protect, defend, or feed anymore. When you are enlightened, there is one relationship that you no longer have: the relationship with yourself. Once you have given that up, all your other relationships will be love relationships.

TAs unite with computing power to fight Cancer
A landmark research project has begun that allows people to make a real difference in the fight against cancer.
The Intel-United Devices Cancer Research Project is asking you to volunteer your PC to help process molecular research being conducted by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford in England and the National Foundation for Cancer Research. To participate, you simply download a very small, no cost, non-invasive software program that works like a screensaver: it runs when your computer isn't being used, and processes research until you need your machine. Your computer never leaves your desk, and the project never interrupts your usual PC use.
There is no cost to participate and no impact on your computer use. The project software cannot detect or transfer anything on your machine but project-specific information. It just allows your computer to screen molecules that may be developed into drugs to fight cancer. Each individual computer analyzes a few molecules and then sends the results back over the Internet for further research. The goal is to enlist enough volunteers to provide very rich and thorough results to the University of Oxford for further research. This project is anticipated to be the largest computational chemistry project ever undertaken and represents a genuine hope to find a better way to fight cancer.
The computational power to perform research of this scale is only available through the generosity of individuals like you.
Read the FAQ if you have more questions.
Download the software (Windows 98, ME, NT 4.0 (SP5+), 2000, XP)
After you fill out your profile details and everything, make sure to LOGIN and then JOIN the TranceAddict team so our results are combined and our ranking improves.
I've been running it since the end of January now on a few machines, it DOES NOT slow down the stuff you do (unless it's something very cpu intensive like photoshop/gaming - then you can just right click the system tray icon and click Snooze (to stop it for 5 minutes) or just exit it entirely)
hehe u know i was thinking of joining that folding thing today at college, coz a mate of mine sed i alwyas leave my comp on and sod off to eat or work!
installing now
i'm signing up as we speak
and just so there's no confusion...
i signed up as Shockwav
so, DJ_Shockwav = Shockwav
it won't even load the team page
Ok, i was thinking, i have got this on my comp, but it does make your cpu run at 100% all the time, ok it doesnt effect how quickly things open etc, as it is clever. But isnt having your cpu running at 100% all the time bad for it, or gives it a shorter life?
Remember to LOGIN before clicking the link to join the TranceAddict team - or else it won't work..
Also, don't worry about running at 100%.. as long as your machine isn't overheating (or you aren't overclocking it to the limit) then you have nothing to worry about
i joined and my name is same as this. will we get a statistics on how well who is doin in the group?
it keeps crashing my windows explorer, but then again when doesnt it crash/stall/have a virus?
Ive had this when swmaper first found this(whenever that was), and it hasnt caused my pc any probs at all, or caused any slow downs.

Good to see that the team is building up It's going to be tough scaling those ranks though..
and the sticky should read "Help Fight Cancer", not "fighter"

Hi everybody,
Kind of a silly question: Does the computer need to be hooked up to the internet 24/7, as in a cable line or such? I am using a 56K modem, will it "send" the information everytime I sign on to the internet? Or do I have to be always connected?

EAU CLAIRE (WKOW) – A downtown Eau Claire hotel will be
auctioned off next week because the current owners are in debt.
S.B. Hotel Management owns the downtown Ramada Hotel and
Convention Center, but owes more than $1.6 million to both their lender and
Ramada. S.B Hotel Management filed an
appeal requesting to postpone the sheriff's auction on Tuesday, but the judge
ruled that the company would have to pay its debt to avoid the sale.
For the time being, the court has appointed another hotel
operator to run the hotel until it's sold.
Ramada Worldwide sent a letter to the temporary operator saying it doesn't
want the hotel in their chain anymore.
According to our sister station, WQOW-TV, the new operators
told attorneys they're gathering information on the cost of launching the hotel
under a new name.

Thanks for the reply.
I will have to play it by ear, but I don't think they meet NFPA 1403 before the first burn, because they say that they do that within 4 weeks of enrolment.
I just looked through they're website and noticed that all of the members are listed as to FFII, so either we were told incorrectly, or one of the officers is an instructor... I know that some departments do the courses... hmm
Things seem a bit strange looking in from the outside... all of the members that are listed are Engineers (Sr or Jr), or officers... Also they're membership is completely nonselective only pending a CORI check... I guess we will have to play it by ear, T minus 2 months until I join..

Police do not believe Bowen is connected to Ripken's July 2012 kidnapping. That case remains unsolved, though police and the FBI received a fresh round of tips after Cal Ripken Jr. raised the reward for information leading to an arrest to $100,000 in August.
Budnick said Bowen does not resemble the suspect in the kidnapping, who police said was caught on surveillance video at a Walmart in Middle River. That man has been described as being in his mid-30s to mid-40s, about 5 feet 10 and 180 pounds, with short brown hair.
Court records list Bowen, 33, as being about 2 inches shorter and 50 pounds lighter.
"They're not too similar, really," Budnick said of the physical descriptions. "And other than that, there's no indication he was involved. But again, that's something investigators will be looking at."
The FBI has been informed of the attempted carjacking but is not involved in the case, said Special Agent Richard Wolf, a spokesman for the Baltimore field office. "They're obviously looking at it to make sure it's not related," he said. "We certainly have a vested interest to make sure it's not related."
Bowen's last known address was the 800 block of Lafayette St. in Havre de Grace. He faces eight criminal counts, including attempted armed robbery, attempted armed carjacking, assault, weapons and drug charges.
Bowen's public defender, Laura Garcia, said at a bail hearing Wednesday that her client is a lifelong resident of Harford County and has a 6-year-old child. He received his GED in 1998 from Harford Community College and had been doing construction work for the past five years, she said.
Court records show that Bowen had been out on $7,500 bail at the time of the latest incident. Mary Buck, assistant state's attorney in Harford County, said at Wednesday's bail hearing that Bowen has violated his probation twice and has six other pending criminal cases. He has 12 prior arrests, which resulted in four convictions, she said.
District Judge Susan Hazlett denied bail for Bowen on Wednesday pending a preliminary hearing.
In Aberdeen, residents pondered what could be done to protect Ripken — and themselves from violence.
"I feel like, honestly, there needs to be more done," said Justin Copeland, 31, who says Aberdeen needs more neighborhood watches and better social services to help the homeless.
Others say Cal Ripken Jr. should hire bodyguards for his mother.
"Mr. Ripken should make somebody watch over her," said Vi Ripken's neighbor Monique Neely.

Culturally, there was great excitement around the Beijing Olympics in 2008. This was a chance for the outside world to witness what we've know for some time – that Beijing has a thriving, diverse music and arts scene that is growing year on year.
In the end, however, Beijing was just about the most boring place in the entire world for a 3 month period leading up to August 2008. Nearly every venue was closed for the lead up and duration of the big O – the city was completely locked down to musicians, artists and even brands and national bodies that had been planning for the Olympics for up to 3 years. Damp squib – hell yeah! Continue reading
