Sasser - Scary faced pumpkins will soon lure trick-or-treaters to front doors across South Georgia. But, pumpkin farmers in the southeast faced some tricks of their own from mother nature that have both hurt and helped this year's crop. The heavy rains this summer are effecting the pumpkins this fall.
Mark Daniel, the owner of Mark's Melon Patch in Sasser, says his crop was strong this year, but it took some hard work to stop the effects of the rain. Rows and rows of pumpkins fill Daniel's fields. "I have a great crop this year, I'm proud of it."
Daniel planted his crop at the end of June, just about the time rain started falling in South Georgia. And when it rains day after day, mildew can ruin an entire crop. "Vines grow so thick and lush that the sun has a hard time penetrating the canopy. It stay moist under the vines all the time making for a perfect environment to disease," said Daniel.
So, farmer must force fungicides under the vegetation to stop the devastating mildew, and its hard to get into the field when it rains almost every day. But, Daniel says the rain also helped his pumpkin crop.
"The rain has keep the spread of the devastating Mosaic Virus at bay this season," said Daniel. Mosaic Virus is spread by aphids. This year the rain spurred vegetation growth around the farm giving the pesky aphids a delicious alternative to a pumpkin feast.
After weighing the pros and cons of the rain, Daniel says the rain was a treat not a trick this growing season. Daniel has already harvested about 6,000 pumpkins.
Mark's Melon Patch is open daily. You can pick your own pumpkin or chose from hundreds already plucked from the fields. There are even albino pumpkins.

On Saturday night, in one of the wildest games of the season, the Oklahoma City Thunder outlasted the Minnesota Timberwolves, 115-111.
Kevin Durant was doing Kevin Durant things, except in greater quantities. He had 48 points on 16-for-32 shooting, the most anyone has scored in the NBA this season.
His final basket came with five seconds left and everything tied at 111:
If Dante Cunningham was given a broom, I'm still not sure he would have blocked that.
Nevertheless, thanks to some crafty play-calling by Rick Adelman, the Wolves ended up with as good a shot as they could have wanted -- an open Kevin Love 3.
Plays like that are where you can see the championship experience Kendrick Perkins provides. Suffice to say, Perk was shocked, just shocked that his obvious foul was called.
That's where things got really weird.
Love, an 83% free-throw shooter, walked to the line and missed his first and his second shots. He purposefully missed the third, but he missed incorrectly, throwing the ball off the backboard. Since it didn't hit the rim, it was an automatic turnover.
That foul might be the best summation of Perkins' time in Oklahoma City - stumbling backwards into success despite doing everything in his power to mess things up. If this Thunder season was on The Mole, people would have been pointing the finger at Perk in the first episode.
FYI: Perk's line tonight: 21 minutes, 0 points on 0-0 shooting, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers, 5 personal fouls and a +/- of -11.

QuillBoston-based Quill were not known outside the Northeast in 1969, and their performance at Woodstock did nothing to change that. They were a crowd favorite, but a technical glitch rendered film of their set unusable in the Woodstock movie that made household names of others. As a result, their label (Atlantic) lost interest, and they disbanded shortly thereafter. Only drummer Roger North stayed in the music business, performing with Holy Modal Rounders until the mid '80s before going on to design drums.
John Sebastian
Sha Na Na
Their outfits, hairdos and music were strictly from the '50s, conspicuously out of place even in the eclectic mix of musical styles at Woodstock. In spite of lukewarm reception, they went onto appear in the movie Grease and had their own network TV show from 1977-1982. They released 21 albums (in addition to being on the Woodstock soundtrack.) The band is still active, with two original members, Donny York and Jocko Marcellino, featured.
Ravi Shankar
Sly and the Family Stone
The band had just broken through with its fourth album and its first hit single ("Everyday People") in the months prior to Woodstock, so they weren't as hungry for exposure as were many of the Woodstock acts. Nonetheless, they gave what is considered one of their best live performances. Things went down hill rapidly in the months following, as Sly Stone became more and more immersed in the drug scene. After the band finally dissolved in 1975, Sly made a few solo albums but his career never regained traction. Sly's brother Freddie wrote and produced music and today is a minister. Sister Rosie worked as a solo and session singer. Sister Vet is now fronting the Sly-sanctioned tribute band, Family Stone. In 2011, Stone released an album made up primarily of new versions of the group's standards, I'm Back - Friends & Family.
Bert Sommer
The Who
Two of the four original members of the band didn't live to see many Woodstock anniversaries. Drummer Keith Moon died in 1978 of a drug overdose at the age of 32. Bassist John Entwistle died of a cocaine-induced heart attack in 2002 at the age of 57. In the years since, Roger Daltrey (vocals) and Pete Townshend (guitar/vocals) have occasionally toured and recorded with various supporting personnel. Endless Wire, their first new studio album in 24 years, was released in 2006, and they have been toured off and on since then.
Johnny Winter
Many (if not most) in the Woodstock audience were hearing Johnny Winter for the first time, but the gritty blues rocker had them standing in the aisles (if there had been aisles) by the end of his set. In the late '70s and early '80s he produced Muddy Waters' last three albums, two of which won Grammy awards. His 18th studio album, Roots was released in 2011. He continued to captivate live audiences, albeit at a slower pace due to health problems in recent years, until his death in 2014 at age 70, while he was on tour in Europe.

Hello Jets faithful! I am a long-time Jets fan with a serious question that I just can't wrap my head around so I need your help.
Brian Schottenheimer has this offense executing at an extremely poor level, again. For six straight seasons in a row we've headed to the stands, sports bars, and our living room couches to watch our beloved New York Jets flounder haplessly on offense. There have been 3 different Quarterbacks as well as numerous groups of receivers and starting running backs and all with the same results, a woefully inadequate below-average offense.
Since we've been told over and over again, for at least the last three years, that this team is talented enough to win a Super Bowl where exactly is the accountability for failure to effectively utilize the talent that the Jets have on this offensive? How much longer do we need to watch Schottenheimer hold this team back before a change is made?
Our safeties, especially Eric Smith, get beat by tight ends and running backs on a frequent basis, but all we ever hear is praise for them from Rex?
Our offensive linemen, namely Hunter and Brick, are also losing assignments on a much more regular basis this year and they have Mark Sanchez running for his life more so than dropping back to throw passes. Nothing has been done.
For years our defensive line has not generated a pass rush and the blitz packages just aren't getting it done either. Nothing has been done. If Mark Sanchez had that kind of time no one would be talking about Peyton, Orton, or Rivers.
Now, the one phase of the game that our Jets have been dominant at, special teams, is also beginning to look anything other than special. Hopefully it's just a blip and the genius of special teams will have it fixed soon.
So with all these problems what has actually been done to show the players and coaches that there are consequences for under achieving on this team? What has been done to show that the players and coaches are to be held accountable for their poor performance?
What was Rex's grand solution to all these problems? He gave 6 practice snaps with the 1st team offense to Mark Brunell.
That's it. REALLY??? REALLY??? To steal Cris Carter's line "C'MON MAN!!!!"
Where is the accountability in this organization?

Florida State practiced, then waited out a two-hour rain delay, then finished practice. Under coach Bowden the 'Noles would have called practice and gone inside the small gym. Under Fisher, the team waited it out and got back on the field. The rain delay gave Fisher the opportunity to press for the indoor facility. He also addressed those who said that one was not needed because there was no indoor facility in the 1990s by stating that there were no lightning regulations back then. Fisher is clearly opposed to going inside the gym and practicing and has been visibly irritated in the past when this happened and doesn't think it helps much. In 2007 FSU was embarrassed on national TV at Clemson after not having a single outdoor practice in the week leading up to the game. He's intent on getting a full practice in, even if it means the guys have to sit around and wait for two hours-- which is what happened yesterday.
|Now 6'3" 214 lbs, Willie Haulstead may have won the starting job over Bert Reed.
Coach Fisher was really happy with the team's performance after the rain delay.
When we wondered who would step up to replace Jarmon Fortson at the "z" spot, we looked at guys like Rodney Smith and Willie Haulstead to step up and fill the role. I don't think anyone saw Willie Haulstead beating out Bert Reed at the "X" receiver position. But that appears to be what has happened. Citing his ability to get open and his great hands, Fisher praised Haulstead for starting to realize his potential and playing with newfound confidence. Coach Fisher said the sophomore from Titusville would be starting over Bert Reed if the season opened tomorrow. That's a major statement.
There are a few ways to look at Fisher's comment. It could mean that Bert Reed is having an awful camp. I don't believe that to be the case. Reid has 80 catches and 1000 yards in his first two seasons and has continued to improve. It could be a motivational ploy to make sure Reed gets after it. I think it means Haulstead, who is very talented, is starting to put it together and showed out with a tremendous scrimmage. Haulstead likely showed excellent blocking as well in the scrimmage, perhaps going up against Xavier Rhodes. Fisher has to like that toughness. Florida State could absolutely count on Bert Reed. If Willie Haulstead is indeed ahead of or even with Bert Reed, it means Florida State is in good shape at the receiver position. Not to give anything away from the upcoming receiver preview, but it's not crazy to think that Reed, Haulstead, Smith, and Easterling will combine to catch 200 balls for 2600 yards this season. If that happens, FSU fans will forget all about the loss of Jarmon Fortson. I don't know if Haulstead will start over Reed, but I do know that its a very good sign for the receiving corps that Fisher would even float the possibility. You are beginning to see what happens when a team recruits very well at a position and then coaches up that talent.
In injury News, backup guard Blake Snider is likely out for the majority of the year. His ankle/foot/lower shin required surgery and Fisher said that he would miss at least 7-8 weeks. Left Tackle Andrew Datko returned to practice and everyone was happy to see him back. David Spurlock didn't practice in pads but people around the program continue to be confident that he'll return from his mystery injury later in the week. Safety Nick Moody returned to practice though he was not at full speed. That's extremely encouraging.
It also looks like Rs-Sr. corner Ochuko Jenije will be spending his time almost exclusively at safety. There was a time when Jenije was battling for the top corner spot. But then a few things happened. Xavier Rhodes really made a lot of progress in the off-season and showed that his performance in the Spring was not a fluke. JUCO CB Mike Harris made it into school and looked more than competent. And freshman all-everything recruit Lamarcus Joyner turned out to be much more impressive than anyone thought he might be coming in (considering he played safety and receiver last year in high school). Jenije would probably be third string at corner. It's not bashing him to say that its a good sign for the 'Noles that he isn't starting, but rather a complement to the other players on the squad. FSU fans should expect to see the more talented player develop and take the job from the lesser-talented player. That's what happened here. Jenije is a smart player and can help FSU this year at safety and perhaps in some nickel situations.

Taking my bike to visit Merri Creek - how beautiful is Melbourne!
I finally have him! (Taken with instagram)
At the moment we're trying to move North side of Melbourne which means lots of exploring in Northcote. We checked out a shop called 'Local Shop' this morning which combines vintage inspired goods, a flower shop, and an amazing fish pond in the middle of the store. Must admit I want to go back and feed the little guys!
These are some vintage paintings I found at KYP in Northcote. Wanted to take them all home, especially the Sara Moon painting, so beautiful.

Activists rally at Statehouse on May DayBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | May 02,2013Mark Collier / Staff Photo
Hundreds of people turned out for the annual May Day march and rally organized by the Vermont Workers Center. Marchers represented causes ranging from worker rights to the environment and energy policy.MONTPELIER More than 1,000 activists highlighted their visions of social justice Wednesday at a May Day march through the city and rally on the Statehouse lawn that featured lived music, speeches and lots of red T-shirts.
Speakers at the event labeled Put People First promoted the rights of immigrant farmworkers, the need for universal access to health care and other topics.
Traditionally, May 1 is celebrated internationally as the day of the worker.
We are trying to build the community we would all like to live in, where peoples needs are all being met, whether that be housing, whether that be food, access to transportation, said Sandra Schlosser, a volunteer with the Vermont Workers Center who helped organize the rally.
Organizers also called on Vermont legislators, who met inside the Statehouse while people rallied on the lawn, to take action on various issues.
The Workers Center asked that lawmakers pass a budget that meets the needs of the people. Some of their criticisms of the Legislature include proposals to cap the welfare-to-work program, inadequate citizen participation in the state budget process and what they see as a too-slow process to implement the first-in-the-nation single-payer health care system.
Schlosser recognized that Vermont is far ahead of many states on social issues but said residents need to support similar efforts elsewhere.
Even though Vermont probably is leading the way in a lot of those areas its something that isnt just happening here, its something thats happening all over the United States, she said. And it is really exciting.
About 1,500 people attended the rally, Schlosser estimated. Montpelier police did not have an independent estimate of the crowd size.
Others at the rally included Alberto Madrigal, 22, from Tabasco, Mexico, who has been working on a Vermont dairy farm for the past 18 months.
He spoke in favor of an effort by a group called Migrant Justice to legalize drivers licenses for farmworkers in the country illegally. An estimated 1,500 immigrants work on Vermonts dairy farms.MORE IN Vermont NewsAs the children of former U.S. Sen. Full StoryJames Jeffords called it his first vivid memory.

What If...
The Enterprise you see in Star Trek XI was an early Refit design for the Prime Universe, but it was rejected for the design seen in The Motion Picture? This thought just occurred to me. We dont honestly know HOW they decided to refit the ship when they were thinking of MAJOR overhauls, so this might of been an early design when the Constitution class was no more than 10 years old.

The role of companies in countries rich in natural resources but prone to weak governance has been at the heart of the business and human rights agenda for the past decade. Yet efforts to find constructive ways forward have only begun to emerge.
Artisanal Diamond Miner, Democratic Republic of Congo. Credit: Shawn Blore, Partnership Africa Canada.
Operating in such contexts poses significant dilemmas for governments and businesses. Prudent use of resources can help the state overcome poverty, but there are many instances where the combination of conflict, corruption, and corporate complicity has contributed to flagrant human rights abuses.
It is increasingly acknowledged that the mere presence of large companies can exacerbate a fragile situation that can end up contributing to conflict. But the solution is not as simple as divestment from countries experiencing conflict. Through their presence, businesses can often provide stability and help build peace. But if they act irresponsibly, they may also prolong conflict.
The Institute for Human Rights and Business has been addressing these difficult challenges and its report – From Red to Green Flags: The Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights in High-Risk Countries highlights the proactive steps companies can take to ensure they comply with the law, are not complicit with abuses, and act in a responsible manner, with enhanced due diligence.
A range of other initiatives seek to address challenges relating to business operations in high-risk contexts.

The UN Global Compact has commissioned research to highlight how companies can operate in a way that helps peace building efforts.
The UN Special Representative on Business and Human Rights has engaged with governments on this issue to study the experience of companies in delivering services or maintaining civilian infrastructure while operating in conflict zones and to encouraging a process through which agreed principles and practical guidance to companies operating in such high-risk zones can be developed.
Businesses benefit from, and are responsible for the observance of, international humanitarian law, and individual business executives have been tried, and found guilty, of international crimes by tribunals such as those set up after World War II, and in cases brought by governments against their own nationals. Civil litigants too have sued companies under tort laws.
The Institute is also actively involved with the Red Flags Initiative as well as the forum to prevent genocide, co-convened by the governments of Argentina, Switzerland, and Tanzania and has contributed to the journal, Politorbis.

In a press release issued Monday, the Asthma and Allergy
Foundation of America (AAFA), an independent, not-for-profit health agency, expressed
approval for the measures laid out in a new drug-tracking bill that passed the
West Virginia Legislature Saturday.
The bill in question focuses on controlling and monitoring
sales of over the counter medicines containing pseudoephedrine, which is used
in the production of illegal methamphetamine.
Under the new law, West Virginia
residents would not be allowed to purchase more than 3.6 grams of such medicine
in one day, 7.2 grams per month and 48 grams annually. It also paves the way
for West Virginia to participate
in a multistate tracking program for these sales.
"The multi-state system will help to reduce illegal
methamphetamine production in West Virginia
without placing overly burdensome restrictions on law-abiding patients seeking
relief from allergy, cold, cough and flu symptoms," said AAFA President and CEO
Bill McLin.
Early in the legislative session, several elected officials

Did anyone hear him say the Packers have the uglyest jerseys in football. I though he was right on the money when he said this. So now I ask you do they have the worst jerseys in the NFL?
the 2nd worst, their throwback jerseys are uglier than their normal jerseys.
No - the Seahawks' all-blue look is the worst in the league, followed closely by the Dolphins' orange jerseys. The Bills' jersey's are pretty bad, too. I'm a big fan of the San Diego powder blues, the Jacksonville all-blacks, and the Vikings home-whites, in about that order. The Packers fall somewhere in the middle.
If you want to see an ugly green and yellow jersey, look at the Oregon Ducks. That's just bad.
Hmmm...I will be honest and say there are times I kind of wish the Packers would update, though there are some updates in the NFL that never shoulda happened.
Personally, I'm finding the blah versions of the Patriots, Bills, and Texans to be a little annoying and carbon copies of each other.
I still think the Broncos jerseys are a little ugly. And the Browns are, too. Cardinals??
When I think of the NFC North, though, there are four teams that don't change their uniforms, because they have a lot of history and don't make changing their identity every couple of years into a marketing tool.
The Vikes could easily change their uniforms, too...and could probably make a pretty tough one, a la the Ravens. The Packers could easily go to a darker shade of green, black, and just have yellow streamlined lines instead of a big, gaudy yellow helmet.
But that's a part of the tradition. If it means we have the goofiest uniforms in the league, then at least we can, like the Vikes, Bears, and Lions, claim to be old-school instead of trendy.
I put the Bucs, Titans, and maybe the Falcons as the best in the league.
Yah I gotta say the cardinals or the bears. I don't mind the bears keeping theirs for the tradition but I would expect the cardinals to change soon, mostly cuz that is what crappy teams do when they want to try and turn the corner.
I like the Dolphins, Broncos, and Phoenix Suns all orange uniforms. Just something about orange.
Definitely the Colts IMO
The throwback pack jerseys are terrible!! I like all the true black and blue division jerseys. The Bears jerseys look black to me though and I don't understand why they are blue. Has anyone on here ever seen a blue bear, c'mon!
come on baby sh!t yellow and puke green what is nice about that
Browns are way worst!!!!!!!

Hey ! That means I'm a loser too!
We can all be losers together! Only thing is I can't sit on my long, blonde hair almost anymore. I got this new little Scorpion vaccuum cleaner and had my braid hanging down and it kinda got sucked against the motor housing and YANK ! I think I got a trim ? (Hmm, did I say I was blonde?)
Isn't that what started the whole Columbine thig anyway? Kids calling other kids losers basically? I've been called an airhead, a blonde, a freak, a hippie, a geek,a french person and mom so tell me that isn't abuse? And I've survived.
It's ridiculous the kind of world in which we live, but each generation has said that, too. It used to be if kids said "I'm gonna kill you!" it meant you were gonna beat them up or seek some type of mild revenge on them , but now it's a verbal assault that has to be documented and all that crap. You just have to be descreet about who you say what to. I don't take poetry or lyrics about things like that real seriously. Maybe I should. The ones in which someone seems truely suicidal I have more caution with because the tone just seems a cry at times. No one should ever feel that way.
I do sometimes wonder if songs and stuff gets anyone's attention.
Heck, when Bob was in elementary school they made a list of kids in their class. The parents got called in for a special meeting before they even asked any of these kids what the list was for. It was for a baseball game they were planning. People had taken time from work and gotten babysitters and all for that. It was ridiculous.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP)--Drive by your local booming suburban church, or the up and coming congregation everyone's talking about in your community. You might find a state-of-the-art children's complex -- complete with antibiotic soap dispensers on every corner. You might find a Family Life Center -- previously known as a gym -- with a basketball court, foosball tables, maybe even an Olympic size pool. You'll almost certainly find a feeding hall, perhaps with a franchised gourmet coffee kiosk nearby. What you will not find is a graveyard.
Not many churches have cemeteries anymore. In some ways, that's a good thing. Churches that are growing and evangelistic rightly conclude that sharing the Gospel with the living is more important than remembering the dead.
We all know churches who carefully manicure their graveyards, and many of them are ingrown and, well, dead. Of course they remember who is buried where. They also remember who paid for what pillar -- so don't you try to remove it to create additional space for your children's Bible fellowship area. There are some churches for which the graveyard is a symbol of what's wrong, a concern more for maintaining their family genealogies and the memories of the past than in forging forward for the Kingdom.
But, still. I wonder if we are losing something by outsourcing the care of our dead to the funeral industry. Did we lose something important, maybe even something biblical, when we paved over our graveyards?
The church graveyard might serve to remind us of something that we as contemporary evangelical Christians, with all our flash and verve, seem to forget too often these days. We are going to die.
Too often we seek reminders of God's power in the buzz and energy of a campus Bible study or a youth rally or a celebrated church service. We believe that God is present among us if there are beautiful, vital young people around us. We believe there is dynamism present if our services are seamless, and if our celebrities smile or cry on cue. And, often, the Spirit is there with power. But sometimes the excitement is just that: excitement -- not the longing of a people for a crucified Messiah.
Perhaps, though, a graveyard in our peripheral vision as we get out of the car for worship might remind us of the gravity of the task before us. Maybe a cemetery in at least some of our churches would serve as an icon that all our Babels will collapse, all our wood, hay, and stubble will be incinerated before the Judgment Seat.
After all, our church buildings -- even the most state-of-the-art of them -- will someday collapse beneath the weight of decay. Your church sign may someday hang silently above some rubble, battered and torn, like the Statue of Liberty in the final scene of the "Planet of the Apes." Maybe the tattered wording on it will still announce to the silences around it, "The Church Alive Is Worth the Drive," but no one will care about how good its sound system used to be. Our hymnals and our bulletins and our PowerPoint presentations and our systematic theology texts will one day wither away into mold and dust.
The Library of Congress itself, with the record of all our best-selling evangelical Bible-studies and praise song recordings, will be swept away like refuse. The vocal cords we once celebrated from celebrity preachers and singers will one day vibrate no more, and the skin photographed for book covers and publicity shots will one day melt away into dirt.
Only the Gospel, only the power of Christ, will remain.
The church graveyard also reminds us that we are a peculiar people. When we are gathered together to our fathers, we don't simply lie under the funeral home tent in Shady Grove #5 with all the others in the region of the last place to which we moved. We are laid to rest by our brothers and sisters, those who wait with us for Something to happen.
I still ponder how much more effective we would be in preaching the Gospel to our neighbors if we showed them -- even with our landscape around us that we are more than a community group. We're a Kingdom -- a Kingdom that spans the ages and includes the dead and the unborn, mighty as an army with banners.
Now I'm realistic enough to know that the church graveyard is a thing of the past. We probably won't see seminars on how to plan for a really good cemetery at any pastor's conferences in our lifetime. But maybe we would see something of what we're missing if we took some time to actually walk among the tombstones every once in a while.
Sometime, when you get a moment, find an old church graveyard and walk through it. Not for the goose bumps or ghost stories, of course, but to remind yourself of some matters of eternal weight.
Walk about and see the headstones weathered and ground down by the elements. Contemplate the fact that beneath your feet are the bodies of men and women who once had youthful skin and quick steps and hectic calendars, but who are now piles of forgotten bones. Think about the fact that the scattered teeth in the earth below you once sang hymns of hope -- maybe "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder I'll Be There" or "When We All Get to Heaven." They are silent now. But they will sing again. They will preach again. They will testify again. They will laugh again.
And, while you are there, think about what every generation of Christians has held against the threat of sword and guillotine and chemical weaponry. This stillness will one day be interrupted by a shout from the eastern sky, a joyful call with a distinctly northern Galilean accent.
Maybe if we did this more often we might reconsider the need for those church graveyards.
I wonder if we might be able to speak more honestly to a people scared to death of death with a visible sign that we know what death is too. We hate it too.
But we haven't forgotten our dead. We're just waiting for them -- and for us -- to hear one last invitation hymn. And when those quiet little mounds begin bursting, with headstones flying about, and clap of thunder resounds across the sky.
Then we'll know what we're talking about when we say, "Man, this church is alive."

Grove (12-7, 1 NC, 7-4 UFC), the Season 3 middleweight winner of "The Ultimate Fighter," is coming off a split decision win over Goran Reljic at UFC 116 in July. Maia (13-2, 7-2 UFC), who lost a middleweight title fight against Anderson Silva at UFC 112 in April, beat Mario Miranda by unanimous decision at UFC 118 in August.
The live blog is below.
Round 1: Grove has a 6-inch height advantage over Maia. Should be interesting to see if that comes into play. Grove works some jabs. Maia comes forward and clips Grove with one. A big combo from Grove is successful, and Maia's face immediately reddens. Maia, though, ties him up and gets the fight to the ground where the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt is his most dangerous. Grove gets back up, but Maia gets it back down. Grove again gets up and Maia ties him up briefly, looking for his back. Again Maia fairly effortlessly moves the fight back down and works out of half guard, looking to pass. He does, and he gets full mount with two minutes left. He works some elbows, but Grove pushes his way out. He scrambles and Maia lands some hard shots to Grove's head. Grove rolls him over, but Maia stays right with him and has a rear naked choke in briefly. Grove will survive the round, but MMA Fighting sees it easily 10-9 for Maia.
Round 2: Grove keeps some distance with a combo, then ducks under a right from Maia. Maia shoots, but Grove stops it and stays on his feet. He lands a right when Maia shoots again. Maia answers with a big punch of his own, then moves in and lands an easy takedown, where he looks to land elbows out of half guard. He lands some hard hammer fists to Grove's head and body. Then Grove powers out and clinches with Maia as Maia looks for another takedown. But Maia gets a trip takedown anyway, despite Grove's efforts to keep his head down. Grove is on his back in guard as Maia looks to stand and pass. Grove nearly lands an upkick, but Maia gets his back. Maia has him tied up pretty tight with the body triangle and is looking for the rear naked choke. He lets it go and works strikes to finish out the round. It's another 10-9 round for Maia on the MMA Fighting card.
Round 3: Grove jumps around and looks like he's trying to rejuvenate himself. He'll likely need a finish to win the fight, and his corner certainly reminded him of that. Maia lands the first big right of the round, though. Right jab from Grove, and he ducks out of a pair of Maia strikes. Then he lands a pair of his own that back Maia up. Maia's right eye looks mildly cut, but it's underneath. Maia lands a stiff left, then comes forward with some more feints. He shoots, but this time can't take Grove down and we stay standing with two minutes left in the fight. Maia coming forward more than Grove is at this point, and he shoots for a single that Grove manages to avoid. But Maia ties him up against the fence with his head in the middle, keeping Grove from doing much damage and essentially eating shots to the body while running out the clock. That's how the fight will end. MMA Fighting sees the last round for Grove, as he was more aggressive, but the fight for Maia 29-28.
Result: Demian Maia def. Kendall Grove via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

A rendering (above) provides an accurate glimpse of what the desert contemporary custom home will look like when (and if) it is finished. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/TNAH_Page%204-5%20(main)_0110_tcm138-1745749.jpg?width=1500 true 1500 Erin O'Boyle MONEY PIT: Domanico Custom Homes has sunk an unbudgeted $800,000 of its own money into the project and owes another $400,000 to subcontractors and suppliers. The $1.8 million of financing the company seeks will pay off those debts and finish the house, including an infinity-edged pool that anchors an extensive outdoor living experience. 1 of 1 Get the link to this image: Copy With AD&C lending at a standstill, Ledford and others envision—and are pursuing—new sources of equity and credit for housing construction. "We'll need other sources to fill the gaps," left by traditional lenders unable to carry the same load, Ledford says.Joint ventures similar to the "shares" that Knecht tried to sell, fee-build projects for banks with improved lots on their books (an opportunity that Hoover is tapping), gaining construction-to-permanent loans so the balance isn't due upon the CO or closing, and simply building smaller, less-expensive homes that can be financed without a bank are among the short-term plays.Longer term, Ledford can see a secondary market for construction lending, set up similarly to the mortgage loan model, that would pool small investors to make AD&C loans at less risk. "The terms would obviously be shorter [six to 12 months compared to 30-year mortgage loans], and a servicer would have to be in place to manage draws and verify construction progress," he says. "It would allow more lenders, including mortgage lenders, into this market and increase competition."But that's too far down the road for Knecht and The New American Home 2010, where kitchen cabinets and appliances are shrouded in protective foam sheeting and cardboard, showers are tiled around plumbing stub-throughs, and the infinity-edge pool in the backyard is a pit of rebar and white plastic pipes."The house is 75 percent done, not counting all the stuff sitting in boxes that we're waiting to install," he says, adding that subcontractors call about the status of their outstanding invoices as well as when or whether Knecht needs them back to finish the house. "Everyone's itching to do something, to work long days to get it done [by IBS]. But there's nothing else we can do."Learn more about markets featured in this article: Las Vegas, NV, Los Angeles, CA.

Hello Everybody,
It's finally December, the 12th month of the year in a year where I accomplished things I never dreamt of being able to do. Without your support, I never would have been given all the opportunities I've had this year. I never would have gotten to record new music in studios I could only dream of recording in. But most importantly, I wouldn't be living my dream every day, if it weren't for each and every one of you. So this year, I owe to you guys.
Let's go back to last January; when preparation for my debut album "Tell Everything" began. I spent countless hours in the studio recording and putting together a collection of songs I had written over the past few years. At that same time, I launched a Kickstarter project to help fund my album, which raised an unbelievable total of $6,147. The amount of backing and support I received from that project and to know that so many people were behind me supporting my dream, literally felt so amazing.
Then, in April, May, and June, I began to receive offers to play some of the most incredible shows of my career opening for bands I grew up listening to like The Maine, Lydia, Go Radio, and This Providence. On June 21st, I released my debut album "Tell Everything" and I had never been so excited to release new music. By that time, I had been going at this whole solo project thing for about two years and was finally able to put out an album I was proud of.
With it's release came a summer of touring. Hitting the West Coast for my 2nd year in a row, I got to meet a ton of new people, catch up with old friends, and play in cities I had never even been to before. But as with everything in life, tour came with lots of ups and downs. It really opened my eyes to many new possibilities and gave me a new beginning for my career. When I got home, I began to explore new sounds and wrote a new EP titled "Long Way Home". Soon after writing these songs, I received the opportunity to fly down to LA and record them in Robert Schwartzman of Rooney's studio with a great producer named Carson Lehman. After 5 days of tracking and mixing, I flew back home to prepare for the biggest show of my career and on October 27th, I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with The All-American Rejects and Boys Like Girls.
Now here I stand, getting ready for my next release after a year of ups and downs, writing and rewriting songs as I grew as an artist, and playing shows I never believed were possible, in shock of how lucky I truly am. Lucky to constantly be surrounded by people who support me, and grow with me as I change and continue to find myself as an artist. With 2013 approaching, I'm not sure where it's going to take me, or how far my journey will go. But if I've learned one thing this year, it's that no matter where I go, I'll never forget all the people who brought me to where I am today. So again thank you, thank you, thank you for all your support and I hope you'll stick with me into the next year to see where this crazy world leads me.
Happy Holidays!
Dylan Taylor Jakobsen

Pours a deep red maple syrup color. There wasn't too much head but it left a nice lace that stayed the whole way down.
Very sweet semi dark malts with slight vanilla and something else I really can't put my finger on.
The initial taste is very smooth, rich and malty with the vanilla slightly there. It leaves a very unique fruity taste almost like a freaky juicy fruit. It leaves a faint dryness with a bitterness that surprisingly did not hit for a while.
Overall I liked it. It had a good carbonation and some great character.

Had on tap at Union Ale House
Appearance: clear, red-brown in color, minimal head, medium carbonation
Smell: toffee and some floral hops
Taste: toffee, bread, some chocolate, citrus hops in the back
Mouthfeel: moderate carbonation and medium/heavy body, sweet start, slightly bitter finish
Drinkability: I like the citrus hops in this one. It is different than others I have had in the style. A good not great beer that I would not hesitate getting again.

Red Baron Ale (brewed, incidentally, only 3.5 miles down the road from me) has the sort of rich, malty nose that promises a good drinking experience: thick, bread-like notes (think fresh wheat baguettes); hints of chocolate malt, or at least deeply-toasted grains; caramelized brown sugars; and wheat.
On the tongue, the beer brings an instant grain-and-sugar combination that is quite complex, the grains tasting like Grape Nuts cereal and, again, baguette, and the sugars having notes of not only brown sugars, but apple, fig, and apricot fruit esters. A good amount of spice fills the interstices, bringing some peppery tones, but also clove. The hops are just noticeable as a background fuzz, neatly balancing the brew. In the late mouthful, after the sugars die off, a heavy grain base erupts, like biting into a Shredded Wheat biscuit. The aftertaste is largely grains, and lingers for a few seconds. Mouthfeel is medium, and carbonation is medium.
Overall, this is great beer, especially considering the scale of the brewery, which only brews twenty barrels at a time. True care and craftsmanship obviously go into every one of those barrels, and the result is well-worth seeking out.

22oz bomber (no pun intended - get it? "Red Baron").
A) Pours with a big head that sticks around. The body is clear. Amber and ruby in color. Mellow upward carbonation. Lacing is thin and sticky.
S) Caramel malts from the get go. Brown sugar. This is going to be a malt bomb!
T) Toffee. Caramel. Subtle hint of chocolate. Buttered toast. Some nut flavors. Just a hint of lemon in the finish with just a little bit of bitterness.
M) Very mellow fizz. Smooth. A pinch of chalky-ness /dryness. Medium body.
D) A great brew! I'd definitely have another one.

Who can turn down a. new breweries -&- b. the great blue bottles that Blue Hills uses? I Imagine that cost-effectiveness will damn these to history, but for now, grab them. While I prefer the pale ale, this Irish red is a good basic offering. Very drinkable & not complex. Nice & clean & local. The pour is a reddish-brown with a thin off-white head & very little lacing. The aroma is of a nut brown ale with some hops & mild spice, maybe all-spice? The flavor again, draws on the nutty malt with its sweetness rounded by some basic citric hops with some red-orange flavor. Kinda nice. And the empties look nice in the window.

On tap at the Union Brewhouse 11/26
Deep red filled to the glass top; no room for a head. I'll blame the bartender for a bad poor. Toasty aroma with marmalade and mild hop spice. Taste is similarly Juicy Fruit punch with mild toasted notes and a subtle roast malt in back.
Average to a fault, it's rather impressive in its inoffensiveness.

Poured from a blue 500ml swing-top bottle into a mug glass.
A: The beer is a light coppery brown color, with a thin off-white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is of caramelized malts, touches of fruit & spice and a little bit of hops.
T: The taste starts out bready and a little sweet with flavors of grain, caramel, tea and citrus. Then there's a decent hops presence that comes in and brings some balance. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy. The after-taste is slightly bready and slightly sweet.
M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.
D: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, mild kick, decent representation of style, this is a solid beer with some flavor and substance to it and is worth drinking for while.

22oz bottle purchased at somewhere local in MA.
Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a 1/4" beige head over the cloudy reddish amber brew. Head dwindles quickly, with leggy lasting lace. Aroma is sweet and lightly fruity, bubble gum perhaps.
Taste follows the nose, sweet upfront, bubble gum fruitiness in the middle, with a moderately bitter close. Mouthfeel is smooth, with okay drinkability. Fruitiness too pronounced here, but overall not bad.

It pours a creamy fluffy 2 finger head that fades semi slowly over a hazy murky darker bottle brown color with touches of reddish purple hue.
THe nose starts with some toasty and roasty malts, reddish malts mostly. It has a dry attenuated aroma as well. Then there are hints of infection, with a light sour funky wild tangy wild yeast. The original beer is still prominent, so it's early enough and I'll still attempt to review it.
The taste has even less infection, just a very slight hint of a funky wild tangy taste, but not much. If I waited much longer it would be gone. There is a light malty taste, some toasty malts, reddish malts, a little dark caramel and slight roasty flavor. A very slight bitterness with hint of hops. It's also got a slight creamy flavor to it. A pretty bland beer overall.
The mouth is medium to lighter body with lower carbonation.
It finishes slightly bitter with more hops coming through here but still very light. It dries quite a bit too, not sure how much of that is attenuation versus the onslaught of an infection. There is almost no remnants of the contamination on the finish, but lots of lingering creamy and toasty malts, reddish malts with a slight roasty flavor too.
I've had this before without contamination, and this just brings me back to the beer I remember, very bland, light, nothing much going on. A drinkable beer, but mostly just blah! I know Irish Red is far from my style of beer, but this is just too boring. Far from their best beer.

Nice pinkish-beige head--starts three-fingers thick. Leaves good ring lace after each sip. Dark, warm amber color. Acceptably hazy.
Strong caramel malt aroma along with a touch of soured cream. Mild hop at the end of the smell.
An interesting brew: there's a sweetness to the beginning of the taste, but finish is dry. Mostly malt driven, but there is a good hop presence (more than the smell suggests). The milky sourness is more pronounced here. I find that to be the greatest distraction. Decent body and carbonation. Leaves a long, sour aftertaste.

Poured from the tap into a tasting glass.
The color is a dark red with a finger and a half of foamy white head, little lacing.
The smell is a nice roasty malt flavor and a slight spicey, peppery hop flavor.
The taste is a bit toasty bread with a fruity hop flavor. Some caramel flavor in the background.
The feel of this beer is light with and easy drinability.It goes down pretty easy as well and was smooth. IT is lower in ABV so it does make for a decent session beer.

This is a decent beer, not brilliant but worth trying if it is available, which is usually not the case. It pours a clear amber color a head that retains a bit, it is a touch creamy, a bit of foaminess in the head. There is hardly much lacing at all. The nose is bready malts, and there is a strong herbal quality to the caramel malts in the aroma. It has some toffee whiffs in there too. It has a quite assertive nose.
The taste is a bit spicy. This is a medium bodied beer with plenty of crystal malts, lots of bready qualities, toffee, caramel, maybe a touch of floral. The beer is quite spicy and has that caramelized, reddish chicory flavor. There is a toasted quality to the beer, coupled with a spiciness, and a bready and caramel underneath, some ABV present, along with the the reddish chicory tastes, and there you have this beer.

Had on tap at Union Ale House 3/31
A: This beer pours a nice deep amber color with a one finger of white creamy head. Head recedes to a thick film that retains throughout. Sticky coating of lacing left on the glass.
S: Nose is of caramel malts, hints of chocolate and a hint of hops. Very simple nose on this one, but very pleasant.
T: Taste starts with a rich malt presence mingled with a touch of breadiness. Middle is a nice blend of toffee, caramel and a hint of molasses - but all very well balanced so that it is not overly sweet. Finish has a hint of bitter chocolate, and a hop bite that lingers.
M: Medium body, medium carbonation, nice creamy body with a touch of a sticky finish.
D: Goes down easily, nicely balanced, hops and malts play nicely off each other. This is definitely one that I would sit with for an entire evening.

22 oz bomber. Coppery amber with slight haze. It had a fine white cap, about an inch after the pour, settled to a thin layer in a couple minutes, but left behind sticky sheets of bubbles on the glass. Malty aroma, bread and caramel, light fruitiness, faint hops and spice. Light bitterness, balanced with maltiness. Toasty and bready, less caramel than in the aroma, cereal grains. Mild fruitiness in the finish, faint citrus, with a short linger of bready malt. The carbonation was very creamy and a little on the high side. While this gave it a nice texture, it brought the drinkability down a bit. Medium bodied, dry. Pretty good, quite malty.

2.55/5 rDev -29.4%
poured from a 22oz bomber into a 25oz mug. Pours a murky reddish brown with a 1/4 inch tan smooth head that dissipates into a 1cm cap that doesn't go anywhere. Aroma is malty and sour notes of caramel with a bitter/sour finish can't quote pinpoint the exact aroma.
Taste is very sweet up front with hints of butterscotch and very tart with a lactic finish of almost sour milk that is a bit off putting. Smooth mouthfeel with nice carbonation. To me not a very drinkable beer had trouble putting down the 22oz bomber.
Overall I preferred the look and smoothness of this beer over the taste and would not seek it out again, although that doesn't seem like it will be an issue since it appears this beer is no longer brewed. I will definitely look to try some other offerings from this brewer though as this was my first and they are fairly local to me.

Brownish color with a slight red tint. The head departed quickly on this one. Minimal to no lacing throughout. Sweet malty aroma. Has a bready smell as well along with small hints of hops and chocolate. The taste follows along the same lines. I kept getting hints of the chocolate or coffee flavors and would start thinking I was drinking a brown ale. Low carbonated mouthfeel. Slight bitter and grassy aftertaste. Wanted to try this to "support local brewers" but probably won't grab for it again.

I decided to give this one a shot since I live fairly close to the brewery, I figured it may be nice to have a local brewery to pick up growlers from. Hopefully I picked a good one!
A: Pours a hazy tannish-brown with a slightly pink 1.5-2 finger head which gives way to a very slight lacing.
S: I wasn't able to identify any particularly dominant smells, but there were several minor smells which included a flowery smelling hops, light caramel and malts.
T: Definitely opens with a nice bready taste, followed by some light caramel notes. There is also some nice light malt and hoppy notes. Nothing spectacular, but definitely not bad.
M: Slightly carbonated, nothing too strong, feels good in the mouth, the feel definitely goes with the flavoring.
D: Very drinkable, though perhaps not in large quantities all at once. In reflection on my opening statement, I'm certainly not running back to the liquor store to pick up a growler of this brew, but I may taste Blue Hills' other offerings to get a sense of what they have.

Poured from bomber high into wine glass. Head was big, dirty-white & super frothy. Deep maple brown, clear and filtered with no rising carbonation. Head has dropped and left moderate lacing.
Tolerable sweetness in front of a smoky wood aroma, almost barrel aged. Slightest hop aroma deep down, earthy.
Taste is well balanced, malt and bitterness meet up well throughout - but bitterness has a slight win in the finish. There is a fruity, almost over ripe banana evident.
Finishes medium, fairly crisp and easy to drink. There is a tiny astringency but acceptable.
A good brew overall, i think it would pair well with any type of bar food.

Color is a nice medium-deep amber with good off-white head and carbonation. Lots of sediment floating around inside. Aroma is lightly sweet and malty. Flavor profile is good and malty with medium body. The yeast adds some tartness. Overall, a very decent brew from Blue Hills Brewing.

On the suggestion of a fellow beer lover, I decided to try to give BHB another try. Saw the Irish Red Ale on tap at Roggie's, so ordered one. Served in a standard pint glass. Red color, but a bit murky looking. Smell was a a bit malty. Flavor was not really there. Just sort of fell flat. Nothing to really grab me. I'll say that it's a smooth beer at least. But why was there sediment at the bottom of my glass? This is my second pint of BH beer, and second time I think they could do better.

Seminole County - There's not enough food for flood victims in Donalsonville.
The Salvation Army donation center in Donalsonville doesn't have any food to give out. The Early County Georgia Power donated bags of paper products today, but they need food to go on the plates, especially if weather gets bad again.
The center does have plenty of clothes and other important items like water containers. GEMA Spokesperson, Jennifer Collins, says, "We have milk containers behind us five thousand of those. Clean, sterile containers to put water in. Slowly but surely, but we do need the help in any that can be provided."
Flood victims need non-perishable food items, mattresses, linens, bedding, hygiene products, furniture and baby supplies. If you want to call and arrange a donation call the Salvation Army Donation Center at 229-220-0583.
While GEMA is lacking food, the Lions Club is getting food and clothing for flood victims. Lions Club International Foundation issued the Donalsonville Chapter $10,000 in emergency relief. Flood victims get vouchers to buy food and money at participating stores.
The Donalsonville Lions Club is also expecting a truck shipments of food. Robert Monroe with the Lions Club says, "It looks like before it's over we'll have twenty truck loads of food in the next few or four weeks. This will be used for Red Cross and so forth and so on."
