Proposed Medicaid Changes Could Effect EnrollmentBy Jeffrey Hess | Published 13 Feb 2012 10:31pm |
Mississippi lawmakers are looking at ways of trimming and cutting the cost of the state's Medicaid program. Currently 1 in 4 Mississippi is on Medicaid. MPB's Jeffrey Hess reports on proposed changes to the program that could come this legislative session.
Medicaid, the federally supported health insurance program for low income and disabled people, covers more than 600-thousand Mississippians and costs the state more then 760-million dollars a year.
The rising cost of Medicaid has had the attention of state law makers like Senator Chris McDaniel of Ellisville for years.
"The Medicaid program we have not is not sustainable in the long term. It simply is not. We don't have the money, the country doesn't have the money," McDaniel said.
At least two bills have been introduced in the legislature, controlling who gets on Medicaid and how they stay on, including one by McDaniel to test Medicaid recipients for nicotine.
"The cost associated with smoking in Medicaid amount to about 264-million dollars in Mississippi. To put that in perspective, for every pack of cigarettes purchased by Medicaid recipient cost the state directly a buck-oh-four," McDaniel said.
Under McDaniel's bill People who fail a nicotine test could stay on the program if they enter a smoking cessation program, if not, they could lose their eligibility for one year.
Another bill has been filed in the senate to require medicaid recipients to re-enroll every six months, instead of once a year.
Ann McClain with Disability Rights Mississippi says the additional requirements could cause people who are eligible for the program to avoid it.
"It has, I guess you would say, a chilling effect about whether people can stay on. Not because they are no longer eligible but just because of the mechanics of having to do that every year. If they want to every six months it would be a huge burden on the recipients and it would be a huge burden on the state agency," McClain said.
The issue could become even more pressing if the health care reform law takes effect in 2014, which could push Medicaid enrollment close to one-million Mississippians.
While the federal government will cover all the new cost for the first three years, the state will eventually have to pay for 10% of the benefits for the new people on the program which could amount to 400-million dollars a year or more.

Colditz escapee's medals for War MemorialPUBLISHED: 02 Aug 2012 00:33:00 | UPDATED: 02 Aug 2012 08:59:38PUBLISHED: 02 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 02 Aug 2012
Terry Ingram
Outstanding distinction by Australians overseas in two very different arenas was recognised at auction over the past week.
The Australian War Memorial led the charge in one contest and the National Maritime Museum lost the race in another.
The War Memorial bought a set of five medals won by a World War II Colditz escapee at Noble Numismatics' Sydney sale of coins, medals and banknotes on July 24 to 26. The War Memorial bid $32,000 for the medals, which included the Military Cross won by Bill Fowler.
Born and educated in Adelaide, Fowler was a Royal Australian Air Force pilot seconded to Britain's Royal Air Force as a fighter pilot in the battle of France. He was one of only a handful to escape from Colditz Castle, a prisoner of war camp built on a cliff top in Saxony, Germany, where prisoners who had previously tried to escape were sent.
The War Memorial's bid was well over the $20,000 estimate, and on top of this it will pay 16.5 per cent buyer's premium.
The Fowler medals had sold for £6200 at Dix Noonan Webb in London in September 2006, making this new price look particularly strong.
The War Memorial also bought a pair of medals awarded to a Melbourne nurse in the Boer War. It took a $22,000 hammer, against an estimate of $17,500, for the medals of Martha Bidmead, who served in Bloemfontein and on a hospital ship.
In London on July 25, Bonhams auctioned a collection of Olympic medals and memorabilia won by Australian rower Bobby Pearce. The highlight of an Olympic memorabilia auction designed to capitalise on fervour surrounding the London Olympics, Pearce's collection sold for £49,250 ($73,815) including premium. The buyer was a private Australian collector, with the National Maritime Museum as underbidder.
The £40,000 hammer price was the midpoint of the pre-sale estimate of £30,000 to £50,000, and made the Pearce medals the top selling lot in the sale.
Born in 1905 in Sydney's Double Bay, Pearce was Australia's first double Olympic medal winner. The collection included letters, photographs and posters as well as his many medals.
Pearce started rowing early under the tutelage of his father and won his first open race at 14. He was the only Australian rower to compete in the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, where he was not only successful but endeared himself to the crowd by stopping during his heat to allow a group of ducks to cross the course, then going on to win by 20 lengths. This made him the first Australian to win a rowing gold medal, and the only Australian to win a medal at the 1928 games.
He went to live in Canada, and the medals were consigned by his family in Ontario.
Bonhams Olympic sale grossed £198,350 against estimates of £275,000 to £380,000, with just 36.1 per cent sold by lot.
The Noble Numismatics auction grossed $3.6 million, including premium, with a near 80 per cent clearance rate.

Contingent/Non-3M Workforce
You are now logged-in to:
Supplier Requirements
3M utilizes contingent workers (formerly referred to as non-3M workers) to meet business objectives. In order to promote a productive and safe work environment and comply with various laws and regulations, 3M has established access/pre-assignment requirements for contingent workers (formerly referred to as non-3M workers). References to Supplier and Seller have the same meaning.
3M CWS Supplier Business Process Map (PDF, 185k)
Applies To
All contingent workers and other individuals requiring unescorted access to 3M facilities and/or access to 3M corporate systems.
Requirements & Policy Statements
Contingent workers must meet defined access/pre-assignment requirements prior to the first day of assignment. Unless otherwise noted, the supplier is responsible for ensuring that contingent workers meet these requirements and retain support documentation. 3M may periodically request copies of documentation for audit purposes, but unless otherwise noted, suppliers should not send copies of the documentation to the 3M requesters or locations.
What is the Contingent Workforce Access/Pre-Assignment Requirements Policy?
Unescorted facility access (Person ID for badge)
Access/Pre-Assignment Requirements:
Apply to All Contingent Workers
Anti Bribery
Additional due diligence and 3M legal and/or business approvals are required if the contingent assignment requires contact with any government official, sales to public entities (e.g. university hospitals), government inspectors, entities that are partially or wholly government-owned, international organizations (U.N., Red Cross), political parties/candidates, etc. All contingent workers will be required to review and sign the Contingent Workforce Anti-Bribery Policy (PDF, 14k). Suppliers are responsible for ensuring that this requirement is met prior to the start of assignment.
Confidentiality Agreement
Contingent workers are required to protect 3M's confidential and proprietary information and must be subject to a signed agreement containing confidentiality provisions. The Seller Personnel Agreement (PDF, 44k) is the preferred confidentiality agreement for most contingent workers. Supplier will review the confidentiality agreement with the contingent worker and obtain their signature prior to the start of an assignment at 3M. Given the diversity of agreements that already exist between suppliers, contingent workers and 3M, it may be possible that the worker's confidentiality agreement obligation is addressed through another agreement already in place with 3M that includes confidentiality obligations. These agreements may include a supplier agreement, a confidential disclosure agreement, or equivalent agreement.
Exhibit I: Data Privacy Notice and Consent
Suppliers of contingent workers will review the Exhibit I Data Privacy Notice and Consent (PDF, 130k) form with the contingent worker and obtain their signature prior to transmitting any sensitive personal information to 3M. Contingent suppliers must upload the signed Exhibit I Data Privacy Notice and Consent form into the Contingent Workforce System when submitting their candidate to a request. Service worker suppliers must provide the signed Exhibit I Data Privacy Notice and Consent form to the 3M requester for uploading into the Contingent Workforce System when the service assignment is created. Note: the form must be signed within thirty (30) days of the candidate's submission to the request/assignment. Supplier should also retain a copy of the signed form for their records.
Privacy Notice and Consent Regarding Personal Information Transfer and Storage
Suppliers of contingent workers will review the Privacy Notice and Consent Regarding Personal Information Transfer and Storage (PDF, 20k) form with the contingent worker and obtain their signature on the Privacy Notice and Consent Regarding Personal Information Transfer and Storage prior to transmitting any sensitive personal information to 3M. Note: contingent workers that have signed the current Seller Personnel Agreement do not need to sign this form.
Prohibited Parties List
Suppliers of contingent workers will verify that the contingent worker is not on any of the U.S. Government's "Prohibited Parties Lists," which are: (a) the Commerce Department's Denied Persons List, Unverified List and Entity List; (b) the Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals List; and (c) the State Department's Debarred List and Nonproliferation Sanctions list. To access these lists, reference the Department of Commerce website at: http://www.bis.doc.gov/complianceandenforcement/liststocheck.htm
Update: 3M has added the State Department's Nonproliferation Sanctions list to this requirement. Please ensure this list has been reviewed for all workers on assignment at 3M.
Unique ID
In order to create a unique identification number in the Contingent Workforce System, suppliers are required to provide the contingent worker's month and date of birth as well as the worker's middle initial. Contingent worker suppliers should enter this information when submitting candidates in the Contingent Workforce System; service worker suppliers should provide this information to the 3M requester.
*Note: All candidates should be submitted with their legal name.
Additional Access/Pre-Assignment Requirements:
Apply to all Contingent Workers With Noted Exceptions
Access Control
3M desires to provide a safe and secure work environment for all individuals who do business with 3M. 3M policy is to control physical access to all 3M facilities and to create and maintain records of individuals entering and exiting 3M facilities.
Suppliers of contingent workers working at 3M will review 3M's Contingent Workforce Access Control Policy (PDF, 7k) with the contingent worker and obtain their signature prior to the start of an assignment at 3M.
Former 3M Employees or Former Contingent 3M Workers
Former 3M employees or former contingent workers may be ineligible for assignment. Supplier is responsible for verifying with the worker if they have worked at 3M as an employee or contingent worker; contingent worker suppliers should indicate this status in the resource's profile in the Contingent Workforce System, and service worker suppliers should provide this information to the 3M requester. The Contingent Workforce Solutions program team will verify eligibility for assignment. Contingent workers in Delivery Driver, Offsite Third Party Worker and Volunteer assignments may be exempt if their access to 3M facilities or corporate systems is limited.
Verification of Work Authorization
Suppliers of contingent workers will verify that contingent workers have valid work authorization. A third party supplier will verify work authorization for independent contingent workers. Only contingent workers with valid work authorization are eligible for assignment.
3M requires all suppliers to comply with applicable laws concerning work authorization. Suppliers may be exempt from detailed verification or audit requirements if placing contingent workers in Delivery Driver, Offsite Third Party Worker or Volunteer assignments as access to 3M facilities or systems is limited.
Selective Access/Pre-Assignment Requirements:
Apply to Contingent Workers Based on the Role Performed
Conflict of Interest/Former or Current Government Employee
Suppliers will comply with 3M's process if a contingent worker or household member (household member is defined as persons living with you on a regular basis) currently or ever have been employed by a U.S. Federal, State, Local or Foreign Government (either as a civilian or in the military), or in a Reserve or Guard component of the Armed Services, or in any other position that may either: (1) prevent the contingent worker from entering into a contract with 3M, or (2) place restrictions on what work assignments 3M may give the contingent worker due to U.S. Federal, State, Local or Foreign Government "revolving door" or conflict of interest laws.
If the assignment is subject to Conflict of Interest, suppliers will ask whether a contingent worker is a former or current government employee.
If contingent worker indicates a positive response, Supplier will issue the Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (PDF, 38k) to the contingent worker and attach the completed questionnaire to the candidate's profile in the Contingent Workforce System for 3M review.
Upon review, 3M will advise the supplier of any further requirements which may include additional questions.
A third party supplier will perform this service for independent contingent workers.
Contingent workers in the following Assignments are exempt: Cafeteria Worker, Construction/Maintenance, Custodian/Janitor, Delivery Driver, EAP Professional, Mail/Shipping Handler, Occupational Health Nurse, Offsite Third Party Worker, Service Worker, Trainer and Volunteer.
Contingent workers in the following Job Categories are exempt: Manufacturing and Warehouse.
Export Control
As a global company, 3M must comply with various export regulations, collectively known as export controls. All 3M businesses must adhere to these regulations in order for 3M to sell or otherwise export from the U.S. certain products, technology, and equipment, as well as share certain export-controlled technology with "non-U.S. persons" within the United States. If an assignment is subject to export control requirements, suppliers of contingent workers will comply with 3M's export control process.
3M will notify suppliers if the assignment is subject to the export control requirements through the request in the Contingent Workforce System. If the assignment is subject, the contingent worker must disclose their country of birth, current citizenship(s) and the order in which they were obtained, if more than one.
Suppliers will provide birth country and citizenship information, and any requested supplemental information, to 3M through the Contingent Workforce System in order for 3M to determine whether contingent workers are eligible for an export controlled assignment.
Upon completion of the determination of eligibility for the export controlled assignment, 3M will notify the supplier or the independent worker of the determination and next steps.
Note: 3M may periodically request copies of documentation for audit purposes, but unless otherwise noted, suppliers should not send copies of the documentation to the 3M requesters or locations.

That's a great piece of work. Some things are done so well – I am commentless
Great message
Great video too!
Have a life changing day
We were a little speechless ourselves after creating it, Mike…. Thank you, my brother. BG
Communicating with sound, pictures and video is so much more effective because it has an affect on all of the senses. For the reader or listener or watcher (LOL) you can sit back and take it in.
Just more meaning in message.
Oh – did I say no comment? :- O
Have a great one brother!
Our version of art, my brother! Sawubona & Blessings, friend… BG
I just love this video. It speaks to me that I am a lonely leaf traveling on a breeze as I find my place and slowly discover myself on my journey of life. Fear and being that lonely leaf are things that I struggle with. But I know it is a journey that is filled with many emotions and something I need to follow with all my heart to get to where I want to be. Thank you.
Much love <3
Beautiful comment, Rachel…. But you aren't alone; "FTR Nation" is standing with you – always. Freethinking Renegades united, forever…. <3 BG
today I woke up feeling not so good (physically), I loaded the video but didn't watch it until now, because I wanted to feel better to enjoy it … silly me, I think I may have felt better if I watched it right away
you guys are doing magic, the message, the images, the music… and how it all flows together, simply beautiful!
Thank you so sincerely, Omar. It is an honor to bring this type of art to the world. I trust you are feeling better now?…. <3 BG
yes! it was low blood sugar I think, I feel so much better now, I will now read your new post about money
I will continue to thank you for all your incredible videos, posts and thoughts <3
And I will continue to thank you for reading, my friend! BG
I like the reference of texture and flavor. Nice!
Thanks Smith-Jammer!
Wow, beautiful images, beautiful message. Thank you so much. I'm glad this came through my e-mail, as I'm taking a moment away from FB. Holidays suddenly hit me in the face, it's very difficult. I lost my brother/best friend the night before Mothers Day of a tragic motorcycle accident. It was 15 miles from my parents house who I was visiting. I had to go to the scene with my dad(mom has COPD and on oxygen), we did not know what we were pulling up to. I saw my brother in a way I never should have, I saw my fathers heart completly fall upon the pavement. I held my brothers still warm hand and said goodbye. We then had to come back and tell my mom. I posted something on my page about him and gave holiday wishes to all. Happy holidays to you, Brian. If you want go to my page and take a look. In one year I helped him loose almost 100 pounds, through diet, excercise and me as an example of a healthy lifestyle. Heartfelt love, Steph
What a beautiful comment, Steph. I am literally speechless…. You are a gorgeous soul. Lean on "FTR Nation" – we won't ever let you fall. Thank you so much for posting this. <3 BG

The Brampton Inferno are a force of nature. After their Friday night game was postponed because of winter storm Nemo, the Inferno proved to be more than a match for winter weather as they downed the Barrie Blizzard 17-13 in Saturday's lone Canadian Lacrosse League game. Brampton did most of the damage in the first quarter, outscoring the Blizzard 7-2 then hanging on the rest of the way to earn the win. Three players had hat tricks for the Inferno. Ryan Campbell and rookie Dustin Caravello added 3 assists to their 3 goals while Jordan Coffey topped his hat trick with one assist. John McClure and Ben McCullough each had 2-goal, 2-assist afternoons for Brampton.
Caleb Wiles led all scorers with 3 goals and 4 assists for the Blizzard, who fought back well but couldn't overcome that early deficit. Mike Teeter was a dynamic presence and contributed 3 goals and 3 assists and Tyler Patterson also had a hat trick for Barrie. Jason Mainer added a 6-point day (2g, 4a).
Both teams were successful on the power play, Barrie remarkably so. The Inferno went 4-for-7 with the man advantage and the Blizzard went 6-for-8. Three goals to end the first half and a power play marker 39 seconds into the third quarter pulled Barrie within two at 10-8. The teams exchanged goals and then the Inferno struck for the back-breaking markers. McCullough scored then Caravello buried back-to-back power play goals to stretch the lead back to five.
Brampton pulls even at 2-2 on the season. Interestingly, they are on a streak of adding one goal per game to their total; they've scored 15, 16 and now 17 goals in consecutive games. The Blizzard are 0-3 but the expansion team has yet to play at home. They make their debut in Barrie next Sunday, February 17, against the Toronto Shooting Stars.
There's one CLax game on tap for today. A pair of 2-1 teams face off in a battle of contrasting styles. The Durham Turfdogs are the stingiest team in the league, allowing just 10.7 goals per game (Toronto is first at an even 10). They will travel to Niagara to face the Lock Monsters, who are no defensive stalwarts but who lead CLax in scoring at a tidy 18 goals per game. You can see the game on a free live webcast at 7 pm on JVI Video.

So there has been a lot of issue surrounding the Cubs and other teams in the division lately, mostly about teams that are doing better than expected in the division. I was re-reading the cover story of this week's Sports Illustrated and it got me thinking as to why the Cubs seem to not be the favorites in the division anymore. Here's a quick analysis of the central division outside of Chicago to date:
Milwaukee: The brewers seem to have fallen recently, espeically with Gagne and the staff not living up to expectations. Fielder has turned it around and the home run numbers are pretty good for the starters, with Ryan Braun leading the way. But again, the pitching just hasn't been there.
Pittsburgh: The Pirates have never really been in it, with too much youth and way to many questions in the rotation. McLouth is playing out of his mind but he hasn't really done much in his career although he has only played one full season.
Cincinnati: This team was interesting to think about, and many people thought they were dark horses to steal the division. However Griffey, Freel, and Dunn are most likely to be traded, Bronson Arroyo and Aaron Harang have been hittable, and come on, it's Dusty Baker and Corey Patterson is on the roster.
Houston: Houston has been playing very well. The hitting HAS been there, and we all know how Berkman and Tejada are playing very well. Hunter Pence is coming into his own and Michael Bourn is one of the fastest players in the league and thus a great threat at the leadoff. The staff however is a big concern, which seems to be a repeating theme. Why the Cubs cant' seem to hit the likes of Chris Sampson or Shawn Chacon, both of whom surprisingly have lower ERA's than Roy Oswalt. It has been that kind of season though
St. Louis: The Cardinals don't have much hitting beyond Troy Glaus and Albert Pujols, but again, surprises like Ryan Ludwick seem to have popped up for the teams with little hope for contention. I expect when he falls down to earth, the cardinals will too.
I don't know, I mean maybe it's just that I'm biased towards the Cubs or that I read a lot about the Central Division too much during the offseason but it seems like the other teams just shouldn't be doing this well. There are teams like the Rays where the talent is finally coming together, and then there are the teams in the Central. What is your take?

After watching "The secret life of Walter Mitty", I got stuck on this song forever.
Chromeo is this Electro-Funk duo that, for the life of me, I can't remember how I found out about… Here's their new song from their soon-to-be-released album:
I'm excited for their new album.
The piano playing robot was a success, and unfortunately I don't have any kind of proof, other than documentation…
sup internet
so here's what's up:
- I'm in Seattle interning at Microsoft
- I'm an electrical engineering Concordia graduate
- I'm doing my MS next year, and the project will be the inverse of my Capstone final year project
- I finished my Capstone final year project – which was a robot that reads a sheet of music and plays it on the piano
- I live in Belltown.
- I start work tomorrow
- I'm in a new team with a new boss (at microsoft)
I'll post a lot more details, regarding the color run, my apartment, etc…
Just so you know, this blog is about adventures… and right now, ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!
Haven't posted a song in a while… So… Enjoy this
This song is what got me into Pandora when I was in Seattle. My mentor's Pandora app repeated this song every time I was in his office… Coincidence? I think not.
So my music-reading-piano-playing robot called Bothoven needs fingers. He can now read music, and wants to play!
Here's a picture of what we have so far (and yes, it's enough for a blog post):
What this means is that we can digitally get the notes, read them, know what they mean and it's time to play them. The way to read this is "NoteOctave-Duration". If you can read notes, the black and white writing corresponds to the sheet of music.
Maybe I should add that he can read a whole page at a time…
Time to build some fingers!
Just lovely. His concert in Lebanon was really good! I switched the song 3 times already, from "Why does my heart feel so bad" to "Porcelain", and now this. Enjoy! And I this this was the song I oringally intended on putting…
Greetings, infidels!
It's been far too long since my last post…
So here's what happened since then:

I just found out this week that one of my all-time favorite people is going to receive a wonderful honor that he richly deserves. I've always needed, sought out, and appreciated mentors. I've been fortunate to have many, but there are three in particular who have motivated and molded me. All three are men of patience and compassion and I hope to be somewhere in the ballpark of the kind of men they are.
I first saw Joe Langston on the news when I moved to Birmingham from Indiana nearly 30 years ago. It was a Sunday night and I watched him anchor the news from my hotel room. I remember thinking, "This weekend news team is pretty darn good." What I didn't know that the Joe and the others who anchored the bulk of the newscast also did Sunday night's newscast, so I was watching veterans who were very good at what they did.
A few years after Joe retired, I decided to change television stations and over time changed from a weatherman to a news reporter and then a news anchor. When I was offered a job anchoring the news here, I asked Joe if he had any advice. Joe said, "Not really, but I guess I'd have to say that the key to being a good news anchor is sincerity, and once you learn to fake that, it's really not hard at all." Joe has always made me laugh.
Another time, when I was still doing weather, he read the last story in the newscast about some frog somewhere that didn't sound like a frog at all but could bark like a dog. I commented that I'd never heard of a frog that could bark, and Joe said, "Me neither, but I had a dog once that croaked."
So my friend has one of the best senses of humor of anyone I know, but he's one of the best news men I've ever known too. Getting it right, being accurate wasn't discussed much; it has just always been expected. Joe is a wordsmith and cares that if we're going to communicate to people; we can, at the very least, use words correctly and pronounce them correctly. His strong feelings about words and their proper usage isn't something he's snobby about. He simply cares, cares very much that we respect the written and spoken word.
Joe and I had lunch for the first time in 1979. When the check came, Joe said, "Look, we're probably going to have lunch once in a while, so why don't you pay for yours and I'll pay for mine and next time we won't have to wonder whose turn it is to pay for lunch." We've had lunch many, many times and we still use that easy rule today. It's worked well in our friendship.
Now the word is that Joe Langston will be inducted into the Alabama Broadcasters Hall of Fame by the Alabama Broadcasters Association. There are many wonderful broadcasters who have worked in our state and many who deserve this honor too. But, the folks who chose this year's honoree have chosen Joe this year and I don't believe they could have made a better choice. I'll be honored to share a few thoughts about my friend at his induction ceremony.
I wish young broadcasters could spend time around people like Joe Langston. I believe a few hours with him are worth more than many college-level courses they take now. You can't teach what made the Joe Langstons of the world. So much of what he has to offer is found not just in the head, but in the heart.
I'll see you tonight at 5:00, 6:00 and 10:00 p.m.

I use alot of PTR products and I like his unwrinkle line. I have the serum, the turbo serum, lip treatment, lip gloss, primer and these pads. I cant say I use his products exclusively, I am a complete product junky and hop all over the place w ith different products. That said, I cant really testify to long term results because I dont use this everyday like one should. But I do like the way these products make my face feel. I also like the philosophy micro recovery mini peel pads, I find these to be a bit milder, for those of you that these are too strong for. I probably will repurchase these when I ever run out.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have a love-hate relationship with both Glycolic and Salicylic Acid. I don't think they work well in controlling or getting rid of my acne, but they work quite great in making my skin have better complexion, combating blackheads and making skin softer and more radiant (Gosh I sound like a tagline on a product label). But well, to achieve all those I can use my one-dollar scrub, or oatmeal (cheap), or steam it (free). This kinda stings If I use it any more than once every three days, but the result is very minimal if I don't use it everyday, and doesn't last very long. Overall, I do think it's a great and effective exfoliant, but for the steep price, I kinda expect more.

This is my favorite glycolic product. I've tried peels, but get too lazy for them so I never keep up with it.. I've tried other ph balanced AHA products, but they either were too weak (didnt help with break outs), hassle to buy online, or had an irritating ingredient in the list. The directions say to leave on for couple minutes and rinse off, but I keep them on all night. I also use them every night (tough skin lol) to help remove any leftover makeup...When my skin gets dry from using it too often, I stop for 2 days and continue again. This does leave a slight film on my face, but I have not broken out from it..in fact, this has helped me get rid of my tom underground pimple on my chin in 3 days (with help from my C&C Persagel) NO LIE! These pads really helped me to stop picking because it works fast on those deep random pimples. My red spots from past pimples are also healing fast! I took advice from other reviewers and cut these pads in half ..they last awhile and makes the cost more reasonable. If your skin loves glycolic acid, you MUST give this a try!

I was excited to try this after reading so many great reviews! And I know PTR has a good reputation with ingredients and effectiveness but I think this is just too harsh for my skin- I have plenty of experience with acids of all types, retinioids, exfoliatiors etc but though this product isnt horrible I just felt my skin was left drier. The good side is it is nice to use on hands on elbows and helps leave them softer. But I will probably use this 1-2 week and not repurchase. I think this would benefit oily skin gals much better!

I love these, my skin feels so soft after i use it. It is a little expensive but totally worth it.
I've been using these for over a year now. I've stopped using them a couple times, always thinking they stopped working or weren't working period. I'll try a new highly rated product, decide nothing works, I'm getting older by the day and then I try the pads again and my face transforms. If you're in your 20s, I highly doubt you'll notice much of anything. Maybe tighter pores, or nothing, like someone below experienced. If you don't have issues, this would be more a preventative. For me, it keeps my skin smoother, makeup applies more easily, sun spots gone, acne scars fade significantly faster, acne itself is less and I don't obsess over lines anymore.. because either they were fine enough to disappear with these pads or they softened enough to not be all that noticeable anymore. My face loves these.. thankfully it's been forgiving and bounced back once I've gone back to these pads, but I'm sticking around now, in case next time I'm not so lucky :p Well worth the price..

I bought two of these to try out. I found them to be effective and easy to use. You wipe it on and leave it there for 3 minutes then rinse. I liked the first time I use it but now I feel like my skin is getting use to the formula. I may leave it on a little longer.
These are great! My skin tends to be pretty insensitive (not like my soul ;-P) so I can leave this product on for 10 or 20 minutes with not problems. While they can be used daily I am erratic, (and on a tight budget) so I use them once a week or so; sometimes I'll use for 2 or 3 days in a row, in which case the results are more pronounced.
They help keep the age spots lighter and seem to help with the wrinkles and the pores too. I've been using this product for a few years now, and think it has a good deal to do with why my skin looks younger than I deserve for it to, considering the considerable sun damage I have and continue to accumulate in my life. I do use the DDF micro-exfoliating REVOLVE, so this combination most likely works synergistically in a good way.

I absolutely love this product. My skin is *not* sensitive, and most bha's and aha's aren't strong enough for my cocodilian skin. I dont have any wrinkles, my main issue is blackheads on my nose and chin, and tiny whitehead bumps on my t zone, mostly on my forehead. I almost never get cystic acne bumps, and with the right foundation my skin can pass for perfect, but these wipes make my skin 10x better looking with no makeup.
I use these wipes almost every night on my face. I cut the pads in half and use 1/2 a pad every night. The combo of 10% glycolic acid, salicylic acid, linoleic acid and retinol is just strong enough to give me fast results. I swirl the pad on my whole face in a rubbing motion and leave the film on my face for about 15-25 minutes. I DO NOT recommend leaving it this long if you have sensitive skin, this stuff is on the strong side. When Im ready I wash the film off with a gentle cleanser. My pores are cleaned out just enough so I can take a wash cloth and exfoliate all the blackheads away.
I didnt notice result overnight, it took about a week of nightly use to really clear up my skin. The results are definitely cumulative.

I am now on my 2nd jar of these and I LOVE them!
My skin has never looked better in recent years; it's smotth soft & glowing. My pores have shrunk a bit & my serum/moisturizer& foundation apply like a dream.
I use this every other night & have started cutting them in 1/2 with this second jar...
After 3 .5 months my skin looks fantastic.
I will continue using them; I buy them on E-bay for much cheaper than retail, so it's a great deal for me= 25.00 dollars for a 60 pad jar!

This morning, I caught a mention by Coach T about a Junior Day. I recall that UT had held a Junior Day last year and attrracted many of this year's rcruiting class. So I went searching to see if Texas Tech had one. I found an article in SportsDFW from Mar. 27, 2010 about a Texas Tech Junior Day, and Allen High School receiver Jonathan Lee was the big buzz. I could find no earlier mention, but I did see that there are some national Junior Days and also that OU had a Junior Day and that A&M plans one. What is a Junior Day? Is it the same as an "invitation only" combine? The coaches can take times and watch players. Can they make offers? How new is this for Texas Tech? Did Tommy get this started or have we been doing it for years? Just asking. I think we have one scheduled this spring again. Florida State had theirs at the end of January...........Just curious. I wonder how many of the recruits we got this year attended our Junior Day in 2010? Anybody have that?
Here is a paraphrase from SportsDFW in March 2010. "Several football recruits trickled into Jones AT&T Stadium on Friday's practice on the eve of Texas Tech football's Junior Day on Saturday. Junior Day is a way for juniors to get exposure to the Texas Tech football program early in the process."

Man Holds Three People Hostage Inside Home
12/15/2013 (Updated 10:45:48 PM)Pennsylvania State Police arrested a Bradford County man after he held people hostage in his home. Police say 53 year old Eugene Moore locked three people in a bedroom threatening to kill them and himself.
The incident happened at 157 Augusta Road in Pike Township. Police got the victims out of the home through a bedroom window while Moore was in the kitchen. He came outside shortly after with a hand gun. He refused several police commands to surrender. He eventually complied.
The victims were a 37 year old male, a 58 year old female and a 20 year old female. Police say Moore blamed them for his marriage problems. He faces several charges including terroristic threats and false imprisonment.
He remains in the Bradford County correctional facility on $150,000 bail.

Since the departure of Kyle Weblog, I have been going through Georgia football history withdrawal. I figured I would attempt to take Dawg Sports readers on an excursion throughout the glorious history of our program, but with a bit of a twist. I plan on launching a series where we will go through the 2013 football schedule with yours truly selecting a past memorable game against each foe, provided there has been one.
Without further ado, I present you with Georgia's most monumental showdown with the Vanderbilt Commodores.
Legendary Vanderbilt coach Dan McGugin via sitemason.vanderbilt.edu
October 25, 1924
Dudley Field, Nashville, TN
Georgia: 3, Vanderbilt: 0
The Georgia Bulldogs are 54-18-2 against the Vanderbilt Commodores all time. Eight of the Vandy wins came before the teams' 1924 meeting. Yes, you read that correctly. From 1893 to 1923, the Commodores owned a record of 8-1-1 against the Red and Black/Bulldogs (the name "Bulldogs" was formally adopted in 1920). It was not until George "Kid" Woodruff's Bulldogs bested Dan McGugin's Commodores by a 3-0 score in 1924 that Georgia started beating Vanderbilt with any sense of regularity.
Since most of my personal Bulldog library is currently packed up in a POD as I endure one of life's many transitions and since there is a lack of information available online regarding the scoring details of this contest, all I can tell you is that the Bulldogs were able to score a field goal and hold the Commodores scoreless in this game. I can't even tell you the name of a single player on either team's roster. What I can tell you is that this game was huge in the grand scheme of Georgia football history as it marked the first time the Dawgs beat coaching legend Dan McGugin and his powerhouse Vanderbilt squad, forever turning the tide against the Commodores.
In case you are not familiar with the name, Dan McGugin was a big deal in his day. I'd liken him to Nick Saban in today's college football landscape, but I fear that would be somewhat of a slight to McGugin, who introduced multiple innovations to how college football was played, built one of the sport's first dynasties in the South and helped ingrain the college game as the integral part of Southern sporting culture that it is today. Unlike many coaches both before and after him, McGugin refused to jump around to attractive new jobs, spending his entire illustrious coaching career in Nashville.
From 1904 to 1917 and again from 1919 to 1934, McGugin's Vanderbilt squads terrorized opponents throughout the South as he racked up an all-time record of 197-55-19 (.762 winning percentage, which still ranks in the all-time Top 25) as the head man in Nashville. Coach McGugin is credited with bringing cutting-edge systems of interference and defense to the South, along with a no-huddle style of offense that baffled opposing defenses. In McGugin's debut, his Commodores destroyed Mississippi State 61-0 and humbled their next two opponents by 60 points, as well. This scoring margin, of course, still stands as an NCAA coaching record. McGugin won his first eleven games by more than 20 points. In his first season alone, the Commodores outscored their opponents 452–4. Four of McGugin's teams went undefeated and eleven of them suffered only one loss. The first time a McGugin-coached Vanderbilt team lost to a team from the South was 1909, five years after he took over in Nashville.
During McGugin's first tenure as coach at Vanderbilt from 1904 to 1917, the Commodores won the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (one of the SEC's predecessors) title eight times in fourteen seasons. Vanderbilt also claims two Billingsley National Titles in 1906 and 1911, both won under Coach McGugin. When Coach George "Kid" Woodruff's Bulldogs bested McGugin's Commodores in 1924, Vandy was coming off of two consecutive seasons in which they claimed a share of the Southern Conference (the SIAA's successor and immediate predecessor of the SEC) championship. Georgia's monumental victory over Vanderbilt in 1924 was a key win in a season in which Georgia finished tied for second in the Southern Conference standings, the team's highest final ranking of the "Kid" Woodruff era.
The McGugin Center, home of Vanderbilt athletics via www.vanderbilt.edu
Fred Russell, a sports writer of the time, said of McGugin, "For years he ruled supreme in Dixie, and his teams won many glorious intersectional victories. More than any one man, he was responsible for the progress of southern football... He was the first coach to successfully work the onside kick. He was among the first to bring out guards in the interference... His name will never die." Russell was right- the VU athletics office building, pictured above, bears McGugin's immortal name.
Grantland Rice, another leading sports writer at the time, had this to say of the coach and his legacy, "I didn't have anything to write about in Nashville until Dan McGugin came to town."
It should also be noted that Tennessee hired General Robert Neyland with one primary objective: to beat Dan McGugin.
McGugin had friends in high places. The Tingley, Iowa, native played left guard for fellow coaching legend Fielding Yost while enrolled in law school at Michigan. He was on the 1901 Michigan team that beat Stanford 49-0 in the first-ever Tournament East-West Game (now known as the Rose Bowl), the first bowl game ever played in America. It was Coach Yost's connection to Dr. William Dudley, the President of Vanderbilt University, that landed McGugin the job in Nashville.
Vanderbilt under Dan McGugin was such a large draw at the time that the university constructed Dudley Field (later Vanderbilt Stadium at Dudley Field) in 1922, upon which the Commodores still play, to be the first stadium in the South intended exclusively for college football. The Commodores invited Yost's Wolverines down to Nashville for the inaugural game at the 22,000-seat venue on October 14. Although the game ended in a 0-0 tie, it is widely regarded as one of the program's proudest moments; rightfully so. Michigan was among America's premier college football dynasties at the time and many programs in the South were still finding their footing on the national level. Hosting Yost and the Wolverines was an occasion deemed worthy of the attendance of politicians, dignitaries and Cornelius Vanderbilt, the great-great grandson of the university's namesake.
Like I said, Dan McGugin was a big deal in his day.
Not only did Woodruff's victory over the legendary Vandy coach mark a tremendous accomplishment for the Georgia football program, it helped turn the tide in the Vanderbilt series once and for all. Before the 1924 meeting, Georgia was 0-4-1 against McGugin. After the 1924 triumph in Nashville, the Bulldogs went 2-2 against McGugin's Commodores from 1925 to 1932 and have never looked back. With the exception of a three-game losing streak to Vandy from 1956-58, Georgia has absolutely dominated this series, losing only in 1973, 1991, 1994 and 2006.
Coach George "Kid" Woodruff via 2.bp.blogspot.com
The game ball goes to Woodruff for being the coach whose team played such a significant role in the Georgia Bulldogs forever turning the tide against the Vanderbilt Commodores. You now know about Dan McGugin, let's talk about George Woodruff.
George "Kid" Woodruff was the 16th coach in Georgia history and the third former player to serve as the program's head coach. He played quarterback for the 1907 and 1908 squads and, after taking time off to travel the country (and Mexico), he rejoined the team, captaining the Red and Black in 1910 and 1911. He received his AB from UGA in 1912. Woodruff then served in the U.S. Army during World War I and worked in insurance in his hometown of Columbus before being hired by UGA Athletic Director Herman Stegeman to coach the football team for $1 a year.
Coach Woodruff in action via www.georgiaencyclopedia.org
Woodruff coached at Georgia, his alma mater, from 1923 to 1927 and left Athens with a 30-16-1 record (.649 winning percentage). He left UGA in 1927 to focus solely on his Columbus insurance business. In 1932, Georgia governor Richard Russell, Jr. appointed Woodruff as an initial member of the University System of Georgia Board of Regents, where he served until 1945. Coach Woodruff passed away in Columbus in 1968 at the age of 79.
The Woodruff legacy has been alive and well in Athens ever since "Kid" left town. UGA named its former basketball arena after Coach Woodruff and his brother Harry, also known as "Big Kid," another former Red and Black QB. Woodruff Hall served as the home of Georgia basketball from 1923 until 1964, the year Stegeman Coliseum was erected. The arena stood on the site of what is now the Grady College of Journalism and the Psychology building, where current Bulldog QB Aaron Murray is currently working on his Master's degree. The Georgia outdoor football practice field is also named in Coach Woodruff's honor.
Woodruff Hall via grfx.cstv.com
Woodruff Practice Field via onlineathens.com
Please join me in raising a paw to Coach George "Kid" Woodruff and the 1924 Georgia Bulldogs for delivering an epic performance in a crucial game on October 25, 1924, a game I consider the best ever played against the Vanderbilt Commodores.
What are some of your favorite Georgia-Vanderbilt games from bygone years? What do you expect to see when the Dawgs and Dores battle in Nashville this year? Can Coach Todd Grantham's defense keep them out of the end zone for a second consecutive year?
Next stop: The Florida Gators. With all the great games played between these two teams, I feel like a "Kid" in a candy shop trying to pick this one: the first series victory in 1904 (yes, UF, it counts), the 75-0 whooping laid down by Sinkwich and Trippi in 1942, 1975's Junkyard Dog shutdown of the Gators, the "Run, Lindsay!" triumph of 1980, the Gator Stomp of 2007... So many great choices.

Take the time to relax during finals week
With the end of the school year drawing to a close, finals are the last thing standing between us and summer.
Finals week is a stressful time in life, and it seems to take years off of our lives. De-stress before finals, and take a break on Reading Day.
Reading Day is a day used to get any extra studying done for finals. Chances are, however, if you're working on a lot on this day, you were probably a victim of procrastination.
Procrastination will only send you into a deeper feeling of stress, so take a quick break.
For those who do have everything together and find themselves reviewing past notes and are preparing for their finals just as a precaution, just relax.
The stress at Linfield rises during this critical week, but there isn't much more we can do.
During the semester we've learned all we can learn and anything else you try to retain in that three-day weekend before finals has little chances of staying in your head for long.
Instead of cramming on Reading Day take a day trip and relax.
Although it is important to study, students don't spend enough time relaxing. Spend your Reading Day doing something you want to do.
Now this doesn't mean go out and drink and party. These activities may be fun at the moment, but when it comes time to go back to studying, you'll regret it.
Even though we're college students and money isn't always at our disposal for big trips, there's always something you can do.
There are a lot of options for relaxing. Take a trip to the park with some friends and have a picnic, or take a quick trip Lincoln City.
You get to be outside with friends, and you don't have to worry about spending a lot of money.
If you truly feel the need to study during your day of relaxation, don't overdo it. Bring some flash cards or your notes, and make a game of it. Have your friends quiz you in a fun way.
These kind of activities make it so you don't have to be holed up in your room or the library.
While it may seem childish to play study games, there's nothing wrong with that. When we were all children, we knew how to have fun with what we were learning.
Whatever you decide to do before finals, remember not to stress out too much. It will only make things harder for you to remember. Jut remember to take a breath and relax.

The man told officers he was shot by one of two men who had earlier picked him up at the U.S./Mexico border in a burgundy van, Cali said, noting the suspects were at large.
The wound was not life-threatening, Cali said.

Google Now; For those that feel it's not working well
So, in the first few days of jelly bean, Google now seemed to be doing a decent, but not great job at predicting cards. Especially the sports card. Lots of people had this problem as well, specifically with the Sports cards in the beginning.
I came across a comment in a thread on xda, which explained that since Google Now essentially predicts behaviours based on web search patterns, it will work optimally with your google Web History enabled. I had turned it off last year, amidst what i thought at that time were "grave privacy concerns", a stance I have since realized was an inane and over-blown reaction (In my opinion, and relating to my use-case scenario ONLY, I'm not saying other's privacy concerns are invalid, i'm just saying that for the purposes that I use the web, those concerns were essentially meaningless to ME only).
So I turned it on on Friday, and by Monday, Google Now was much improved, especially the sports cards, and sports teams etc
So how it gets better over time is if it has enough data to predict a search, it wont be useless without it, it just wont be 'as good'. This data can't be used if your web history is not enabled, because using only the web history data on your mobile browser is unreliable, and would basically reset google now, everytime you cleared cookies, or history or cache.
This setting can be accessed in your desktop browser, through your Google Dashboard>Web History>Remove items or clear web history>Resume or Enable Web History
Of course, if you feel uncomfortable with this turned on, it is totally understandable. But in my case at least, my experience has improved considerably.

Statenville - The District Attorney has closed the book on one of the biggest crimes in Echols County.
"Its a tragic situation. The whole deal is tragic. We hope not to have anything like this happen in the future. It's a tragic situation for all the families involved and the deputy affected by it," says Echols County Sheriff Randy Courson.
On May 25th, Deputy Steve Wood was called to Lisa Circle. A group of people were arguing and 67-year old Billy Corbett got a gun and started shooting.
34 year-old Chad Wiggins and 36 year-old David Coody Junior were shot and killed. Deputy Wood then shot Corbett to death.
"In these types of situations, that's the reason we call the GBI in to do an independent investigation so we can make sure it's done justly and fairly," Courson says.
After the GBI's investigation, the District Attorney ruled this week that Deputy Wood was not only justified in shooting Corbett, but possibly prevented death or injury to himself and others in the area.
Now this quiet community hopes to move on.
"I really hope everyone can put this behind them and go on with our lives because we want this community to be a nice place for people to come and maybe live some day," says resident Karen Alford.
Deputy Woods was placed on paid administrative leave but will return to active duty Friday.

San Franciscans working from 2004 to 2013 to keep tasers out of SFPD officers' hands as they "talk down" people in public crisis are today celebrating SFPD Chief Greg Suhr's Wednesday, April 10, decision to drop his "less lethal" taser proposal for San Francisco cops. Idriss Stelley Foundation Program Director Jeremy Miller affirmed: "The Police Commission should be commended for engaging this issue seriously in a manner that befits their political responsibility. Tasers torture and kill. They are unaccountable weapons for unaccountable officers. But it was the people of San Francisco who forced Suhr's hand."

Seth Rosenfeld's dramatic announcement that Richard Aoki was an FBI informant provoked an enormous response from Chronicle readers. Could it be true? Or was this a "snitch-jacketing," a classic FBI tactic used to cast suspicion on a legitimate activist by spreading rumors and manufacturing evidence?

When Kenneth Harding, 19, couldn't show police a Muni transfer to prove he'd paid his $2 fare on July 16, 2011, he ran, they shot him in the back and for an agonizing half hour, instead of trying to save his life, they trained their guns on Kenneth and the crowd while the young man slowly bled to death and the crowd screamed in horror. Knowing that the police murder of Kenneth Harding was the outcome of the routine, though unofficial, police practice of stopping and frisking young men of color, why would San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, a former civil rights attorney, consider importing New York City's disastrous stop-and-frisk policy?

Thanks to all who called Wells Fargo or went to City Hall on behalf of Archbishop and Marina King. Wells Fargo removed the home from the auction list on the morning of June 21, several hours before the public auction. Wells Fargo is currently reviewing the Kings' case for modification a second time. Until a real agreement can be reached, the Kings and their supporters are planning to block the auction July 20 at City Hall. Call Grace Martinez at ACCE for more information at (415) 377-6872.

A: Pours a dark blackish red, with an inch of white foam and a good amount of carbonation on the pour.
S: Some funk is present accompanied by tart cherries and plums/raisins, with a hint of the oak.
T: A red wine, with tart cherries. Oak and vanilla come through too.
M/D: A very carbonated bottle, almost a gusher. Beer is pretty solid, interesting, but nothing amazing.

Thanks to ericandersnavy for sharing this bottle. My first sour from Upland.
The beer pours a reddish-amber color with a tan head. The aroma is heavy on the flowers, with some tartness and flowery notes mixed in. Interesting.
The flavor is more of the same. I get toffee and cocoa up front, but I also get some floral notes and some light tartness. The beer is not as sour as I expected it to be. There are some nice fruit notes to the beer.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

My Bottle from a forgotten good store. Above average mouthfeel. Darker colour than you would normally see from the style.Bretty. Coca cola,nutmeg, pepper, mint, and we need more of that than the sourness from the remaining lactic acid. Aged close to a year. Bubbly head. Cross saison/mild.

Thanks to Claaark (Sean) for this one. Shared with capra12 and schen9303 at an Upland tasting. Poured from a corked and caged bottle (bottled 7/12/10) into a Darkness snifter.
Pours a .5 finger light coffee colored foamy head with low retention. Beer is slight cloudy, dark brown. Stringy and patchy lace with moderate cling. Color is a bit off-putting.
Nose is an odd combination of soap, mint, plastic, and sweet grapes. Not bad, but very strange.
Opens sweet grape, spicy, plastic. Yeasty towards the middle with some Brett funkiness and cane sugar. Some residual sweetness towards the end with just a touch of tart. Not really sour at all and the barrel characteristic is almost entirely missing. A touch too sweet too.
Light to medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation. Prickly and bubbly in the mouth and abrasive doing down. Smooths nicely as it warms though. Messy finish with a clean aftertaste. Good for its style.
A pretty middle-of-the-road beer here. A bit too sweet with near no funk and little to no tartness. I'm not really sure what was trying to be accomplished here but the end result, why not bad, is a bit pedestrian.

750ml bottle shared by someone at the post-Bruery bottle share. Forgive me for not knowing who it was through all the melee going on there.
Hazy dark brown with a lasting light tan head.
Wild funky dark fruit aroma, sour, acetic, and funky, with some roastiness.
Slightly sweet and sour flavor. Very tasty. Somewhat acetic with caramel and roasty malt notes, red wine, berries, and some floral aspects.
Medium-full body with average carbonation and good acidity.
Another solid sour beer from Upland. These guys are really getting their act together as far as the wilds go.

Massive thanks to womencantsail for sharing this one at Beachwood BBQ during the Bruery RS Post-Party. Served from bottle into a goblet. Poured a murky brown with a minimal white head. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, sour, tart, and floral notes. The flavor was of sweet malt, sour, and tart. It had a light feel on the palate with high carbonation. Overall this brew was quite excellent. A very nice flavor and excellent aroma going on here. A pretty nice Wild Ale without doubt. If you haven't had this it is worth seeking out. Glad I have a bottle set aside for me in a future trade!

Pours a medium/dark brown, hazy and a bit cloudy with a khaki head.
Complex "brown" carmel vegetal nose, with hints of some funk and hints of a light sour. Almost some earthy/mushroom character to the nose. Not bad and it is unique.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and good balance with, for Upland, a proper carbonation. (Didn't gush!) Retained light/medium carbonation without being fizzy. Decent mouth.
(Note: first taste is very different and one might react negatively; give it a chance with a few tastes before making a judgment. I didn't like it when first tasted; a few tastes later I realized this was a pretty good effort.)
Flavors of earth tones, mushrooms, unsweetened caramel and light tart cherries. There is some wood character undertones. Not as funky as I expected from prior reviews; just a hint of sour and just a hint of funk. Actually was like a decent red ale with some "different" complexities.
All in all, this is one of Uplands best and most assertive flavor profiles in its lambic line. Tasted Blueberry and Peach at the same time. This was the one that cleary left the best impression and was clearly the most complex. I'd drink again.

Caged and corked bottle. Popped at my wedding. Sweetness!
A- Pours a murky brown color with light red hues to it when held to the light. Three finger beige head stays around forever before dying down. Sheet style lacing on the sides of the glass as I drink this down.
S- Tons of darker fruit in the nose. Light cherry scent but I figured there would be more. Some oaky barrel notes blended with a spicy earthy tone. I'm sure as this one ages even more there is going to be more defined aromas. This one is still a baby!
T- Acidic notes right off the get go with the beer. Darker fruits come into play with a light sour cherry note. Some oak present but still I think the malts take over this beer which means it should be still sitting in your cellars people!
M- Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation is getting there and while not all the way I like it it's showing signs of vast carbonation. More darker fruits left on the palate with some acidic tones in the aftertaste. Flavors are starting to take on their own and should be there in a year or so. Very drying on the palate from the alcohol.
D- This beer was good for what it was right now. It still has a long way to go and I'm glad I have someone who has a bottle still. I can't wait to try this in a year or so.

Finally opened this after cellaring for awhile, as instructed by the label. Figured 5 months was long enough.
Sustained pop from the cork, poured into a champagne flute. Highly active carbonation, with champagne streamers trailing up the sides. Murky with a patchy skim across the surface, as the initial head fades. Sticky crown of lacing as it sits in the glass, and all the way down as the glass is drained. Dark mahogany in the center, and a lighter reddish brown in the meniscus.
Soft aroma of musty barrel, minerals, a bit underdeveloped and not showing much funk yet. It's still pleasant and integrates with the rest of the beer.
Mild tartness, woody complexity, earthy and dry in the finish. A hint of washed rind cheese under the wood and dark malt. Well carbonated, it dries out quickly. Lingering woody tannins in the aftertaste. More of an Oud Bruin than anything, and a nice example.

Thanks msquared2!! Bottled 7/12/10
Appearance. Pours a very deep, dark red-brown with a finger of creamy, pale-khaki head.
Smell. Sour cherries and old wood with just a dash of vinegar.
Taste. Sour cherry again, but not as big as the smell would lead on. Some tannic wood with a light, almost herbal bitterness along with some fruity (Belgian) yeast, especially in the finish.
Mouthfeel. Medium body, slick felling, and low+ carbonation.
Overall. A nice wild with some moderate sourness and some interesting complexity from the yeast and the barrel.

750 ml bottle opened by the guys at Upland at the GLBF, the last of the three special bottles they had. 2 oz pour into a taster.
A - Pours a dark brown color but clear. Absolutely no head on it. A ring of very loose bubbles though.
S - The aroma bursts with sourness and wild funk but is backed up with a lightly sweet, floral scent.
T - Interesting weedy floral flavor with a potent lactic, wild sourness. A combination of funk and acidity.
M - The finish is very dry and highly carbonated with a wild, sour, mouth-puckering finish.
D - This is an alright wild that, like the other two 750s of Upland's stuff would be better shared. It didn't impress but that's not to say it's not a good beer. Just lost in a sea of amazing American Wild beers. The name and label are badass though!

3.23/5 rDev -18%
Pours cloudy brown with red hues and a small white head fading to little retention or lacing.
A little bit of a toffee sweetness in the aroma with a little bit of berry. Not overly sour aroma.
More malty sweetness in the flavor along with a little berry/cherry tartness. Not very sour at all especially compared to the fruit lambics and not overly complex.
Medium bodied with ample carbonation. Finishes somewhat dry.
Nothing really bad about this, just sort of unimpressive all around. I remember liking this more when it was fresh so not sure if the bottle fell off or my sour palate improved. Most likely the latter. Not a bad beer, but would prefer Uplands fruit lineup or something more sour in general to this.

Rich dark brown, very hazy and cloudy with a rich tan colored head. Excellent retention left behind thick coating side glass lace. Some light carbonation at first, but this quickly diminished.
So intricate and complex, it almost was beyond description. The first notes to come across were funky and sour, which were to be expected, however, letting this one warm up brought about all sorts of goodness. lots of earthy notes and tons of rich dark funk that seemed to really dominate. This one had to warm though to really let you appreciate all of the subtleties that were going on here. Rich notes of caramel and tart cherries, light notes of oak and woodsy like malts. Started out a nice rush of Brett funkiness in all of its glory, rich notes of fruit, cherries layered in on top of that with an almost toffee like flavor as the base. lots of funk comes though in the finish dryin the palate and leaving a smooth finish
overall it was as solid as could be, really well done.

Thanks, Andrew.
Cloudy reddish-brown. The head recedes to a thin but persistent tan collar.
Smells floral and earthy, mildly sour. Lactic and acetic acid are present, leaning slightly more toward the acetic side. Balsamic vinegar, toasted malt.
The palate is earthy and acetic, the bugs have thinned out the dark malt base quite a bit. Balsamic vinegar and floral flavors lend some depth. Dry and oaky, especially toward the finish. Light in body, easy enough to drink but not particularly outstanding.

Pours black at first glance, but closer inspection reveals a muddy dark brown color, thick, high carbonation during the pour leaves some floaties fron the last third of the bottle. Not really distracting due to the dark color, and the high carbonation also makes for a very thick carpet of eggshell colored head that doesn't go anywhere and leaves some very nice strands of lace swooping around the glass.
The aroma reveals lactic sourness mixed with a milder, floral funkiness. Spice on the nose as well along with some strong esters, leather, and cranberries. Floral lotus-like barnyard funk defines the flavor, followed by lactic acid, coriander, crusty bread, and tart greens. Spots of diacetyl hint at a Flemish Red, but this is more floral and spicy. Moderately sour with a tart and bitter finish with twangs of roast and earth.
What seems very carbonated during the pour fizzles out and becomes an exceptionally integrated and smooth carbonation reminding me of my favorite Flemish Red ales. While the bubbles feel amazing, the body is considerably thin for a dark wild ale. Overall this is a complex and tasty beer. I'd like to see it tweaked to include a touch more malt and body, and this could be an excellent beer. Looking forward to trying the next batch.

Poured from the bottle into my Hunahpu's snifter.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy reddish brown with a layer of off white head. The head fades to a ring around the edge of the glass.
Smell: There is a red berry tartness with a malt sweetness. I'm also getting a slight vinegar note.
Taste: I'm getting a red berry tartness along with a malt sweetness. There is also a slight vinegar sourness. Not a whole lot more going on here.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with tingly carbonation and a very mildly dry finish.
Overall: I didn't think this beer was very interesting. There was a tart note along with some sweetness, but nothing much more. I'm glad I had this, but I don't know that I would trade for another.

4.38/5 rDev +11.2%
Poured into a tulip. Big thanks to Rempo for this one. 2010 vintage, summoned on 7/12/10.
4.0 A: Pours a murky deep brown color. Two fingers of creamy/frothy hybrid beige head with average retention and nonuniform lacing.
4.0 S: Fairly simple by wild ale standards, but really nice. Good amount of earthy, musky brett funkiness. Some tangy lactic acid, but not really any acetic acid. Oak and a light tannic astringency. A light orange citrus aroma and a touch of spiciness.
4.5 T: More complex than the nose and all the flavors are well integrated. Lots of musky brett funk again. Some combination of spices that combine to taste a little like yerba mate and licorice. A lot fruitier than the nose. I suppose the lactic acid is a big contributor here. I'm picking up plum, wild apple, and cherry foremost with berries on the underside. Maybe a touch of acetic acid as this is just short of mouth puckering. Oak, some yeastiness, and a touch of supple tannins.
4.5 M: Medium body. Good moderate carbonation. Quite creamy and incredibly smooth.
4.5 D: I've been drinking some great sours lately and this is no different. The nose is a bit subdued, but the taste opens up and puts forth a ton of complexity that all contribute to a wonderful whole.
