Program introduced for universal drug testing of pregnant women
Programs which involve universal drug testing for pregnant women are now being launched in many hospitals around the country.
The goal is to identify babies -- who may be at risk for serious health concerns due to withdrawl.
The the sound of music
The excitement of a new life --
The hustle and bustle of busy baby care --
These are all the things associated with a newborn baby -- which is why something like this -- is often missed:
Dr. Amy Nathan, Neonatologist
The incidence of babies exposed to drugs has risen five fold in the last five years.
Doctor Amy Nathan is a Neonatologist
Who is part of a team supporting universal drug testing for pregnant women --
Our current data suggests that almost 4 % of babies delivering are exposed to some sort of opiate in utero.
She says the most common complications right now are due to withdrawl from prescription drugs -- and the problem?
A baby doesn't know whether or not you have a prescription for it.
So each mom who comes in for delivery is now asked to submit a urine sample for drug testing --
Question: So what happens if a woman tests positive for prescription or any other drugs?
The baby is not going to be taken away
The team will just be looking for symptoms of withdrawl after delivery -which include:
Tremors, excessive crying, diarrhea, and in severe situations seizure.
Who gets that information then if a woman has a positive test?
The information is used for the medical care of the baby and the medical care of the mother to provide services the family needs, and it is not public information.
A mother does have the right to opt out --
A mother has the right to refuse this test or any other test in the hospital, a refusal would likely prompt a little more close scrutiny,, watching the baby for signs of withdrawl
In most cases this takes about two to five days -- which could lead to a longer stay because often women are discharged soon after birth.
At children's hospital medical center
Some hospitals also have programs for mothers during and following pregnancy to help kick addiction.

I was looking at Porter and Sparano didn't speak following benching, Matty's fanshot, and as a big Porter fan I can say, it looks bad, all this is lessening him, and leaves a bad taste in your mouth, if he chooses to go out like that........ hey, later dude, but he will retract this stuff, say that he was being rash and stupid and then we can part friends, sayonara.
What is VERY troubling to me was Crowder taking Peezy's side in a way,
Porter does have his backers in the locker room, including Crowder, who might want to remember he's coming off a 51-tackle season cut short by injury before he questions the team.
Crowder said the players were shocked Sparano benched Porter.
"We were like, 'Peezy, what'd you do?,' " Crowder said. " We really thought he'd knocked Tony out.
"It was an uncomfortable situation among the team. I know I'm not the only player that thinks that."
If any of that stuff is true, the "questions", the "we's" and "uncomfortable" and "not the only", that could mean big trouble, is Sparano losing the team? As soon as the players start to question you, you have lost the team, if they don't believe what your doing is the right way, it's over.
Has Sparano made his own bed?
1. Over complicated schemes, are players thinking they would be better with a less complex scheme.
2. The whole Pat White thing, despite the fact it was not working, TS continued to put White in, and in critical junctures in the game, in VERY important games as well, kinda indefensible really.
3. The whole rotating EVERY position thing, which includes the Peezy debacle, we did A LOT of rotating, even on the O-line, which is normally not done, continuity being the thing your looking for.
If players start questioning any of these things they will start to question all of them.
Those last three games we lost, we came out bad, was this a manifestation of the team questioning the HC, and that their own pride as players took over once the adrenaline got going and made a good showing of it?
Whether the coach was wrong or not, Peezy was, but does Peezy have a point, Crowder and Taylor have both made comments recently that suggest they have some questions, Bell said some stuff at the pro bowl about how he hopes Peezy doesn't want to go, and him and a lot of other players want him to stay, because of what he brings.

Okay, okay, stop it! I can't stand it anymore!
For Chrissake, yes: I'll blog about Davy Jones dying, already!
Here's what I think: Micky Dolenz sang more of the Monkees songs that I like than Davy did. And I blame Mike Nesmith and his stupid lumberjack hat for billions of hipsters in, first, the Pacific Northwest and then across the globe, wearing the same hat. Not sure how that relates to Davy, but they were in the same band together and Davy was the Cute One (sorta like Paul) and could perhaps have suggested to Mike that, maybe, if he'd take off the cap, he'd get more babes …
Also: as the remembrances and eulogies come pouring in across the world wide web, could folks PLEASE — and this includes professional journalists who ought to know better — stop writing variations on how they'll bet Davy's in heaven in a terrific band.
By now, we should all realize that, if you add up all the musicians who've died since Earth began, and assume with the requisite Christian charity that they're all in heaven and in a band together, the goddamn group's got more players in it than have been in Lynyrd Skynyrd.
And so, ah, Davy, I say to you — rest in peace. Out.

Balls of Energy
These energy balls look and taste like a treat but they are a snack that you don't have to feel guilty about giving to your kids. The banana and peanut butter tasted great together. My toddlers loved the energy balls that I rolled in chocolate chips, but the coconut ones were quite tasty as well.

We're gluten-free and pretty neW to the scene :). Could we successfully replace the wheat germ with ground flax? This would be GREAT – I hope that the sub would work. My kids (and maybe Mommy :) would love these!
i make something super similar to these ALL THE TIME! but i add a lot to them… chia seeds, oats, dried fruit, nuts and seeds… and some coconut oil too! i also most often make them into bars instead of balls… DELISH snack or breakfast!
Nicole, I am trying to look for a good recipe for an energy ball with coconut oil in them but am having little luck. I just saw your comment and was hoping you would share it? Thank you in advance!
I don't want to come off as too spam-ish, but as for a nutritious energy ball with coconut oil, you may want to try out http://www.coconutzfuel.com.
As a nutrition-conscious athlete (and father), I decided to apply that knowledge to develop an energy ball that is delicious, good for you, and gluten free. Though designed for athlete use, I've found moms love to provide them as snacks to kids because they are so good and healthy. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

These taste great, I added chia seeds to it. I would like if you also had something with flax and coconut oil. Also bars would be great too

Cosell says, "To play quarterback in this league, you've got to be able to make throws, often in difficult situations against challenging defenses."

PFT Live: Cosell questions Barkley's ability
Jason Worilds leaves with knee injury
Steelers outside linebacker Jason Worilds has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's preseason game at Philadelphia with a right knee injury, the club said.
Worilds was credited with a sack of Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez early in the third quarter, but the play was nullified by a penalty. On the next play, Worilds appeared to be no longer in the game, and the Eagles scored a touchdown. The Steelers then ruled him out the rest of the way.
The 26-year-old Worilds had a breakout 2013 season, recording a career-high eight sacks. He's playing under the one-year transition tender.
The Steelers have not played well in their third exhibition game of the summer, and starters have played well into the third quarer on both sides of the ball.
UPDATE 9:56 p.m. ET: Ken Laird of TribLive Radio in Pittsburgh reports Worilds was icing his knee.
X-rays negative on LeSean McCoy's thumb
A sprain, not a break.
That's the word on tailback LeSean McCoy's right thumb.
According to the Eagles, X-rays on McCoy's thumb came back negative, and he has been ruled out of the rest of Thursday's exhibition against Pittsburgh.
Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports the injury is a sprain.
McCoy racked up 24 yards rushing on just four carries and caught a 22-yard TD pass in the first quarter before departing to get his thumb examined. He does not figure to play much, if at all, in the team's final preseason game next Thursday.
The Eagles begin the regular season on Sunday, September 7 vs. Jacksonville.
After scary moment, Jeremy Maclin returns to game
In what looks to be a good turn of luck for a player who's coming back from a right knee injury that sidelined him last season, Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin stayed in Thursday's exhibition vs. Pittsburgh after momentarily looking to have injured the leg again.
With about 10 minutes left in the second quarter, Maclin went down trying to make a sharp cut, and he grabbed his knee as he lay on the ground. However, Maclin reportedly was able to get up and walk off the field, and he was then seen walking on the sideline.
Then — happily — Maclin was back on the field on the Eagles' next series. And he even started the drive with a nine-yard catch. In the end, it appeared to be just a brief scare for Maclin, one of the club's key passing game players.
Adrian Peterson misses a pair of practices
The Vikings don't plan to use running back Adrian Peterson much, if at all, during the preseason. For the past two days, they haven't used him at all during practice.
According to Matt Vensel of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Peterson has missed practice the last two days due to an undisclosed personal matter. He is expected to travel to Kansas City with the Vikings for the team's third preseason game of 2014.
Peterson hasn't touched the football during the preseason since 2011, when he had 14 carries for 81 yards during the third preseason game, against the Cowboys.
This year, the Vikings have their first new offense since 2011. It could take some time for Peterson to get comfortable in the attack, given the absence of preseason reps.
LeSean McCoy returns to sideline after having right thumb X-rayed
Eagles tailback LeSean McCoy left the club's sideline in the first quarter of Thursday's exhibition vs. Pittsburgh to get X-rays on his right thumb, the club's official Twitter feed said.
The club said McCoy's return was "unknown." He was not on the field when the Eagles got the ball back late in the first quarter.
Before going inside to get checked out, McCoy showed no ill-effects from a toe injury that's bothered him, racking up 50 yards on six touches. On his final play before departing, McCoy turned a short reception into a 22-yard TD.
Now, the focus turns to whether he's suffered a hand injury. Perhaps of note: he was able to palm the ball with his right hand as he celebrated in the endzone right after the touchdown.
UPDATE 8:25 p.m. ET: Here's some promising news for Eagles fans: Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports McCoy is having his hand taped on the Eagles' sideline. And according to Jeff Darlington of NFL Media, McCoy still is wearing his pads.
Le'Veon Bell, LeGarrette Blount both see action early for Steelers
As expected, the Steelers didn't bench Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount for Thursday's exhibition at Philadelphia after both were cited for marijuana possession.
In fact, Bell started and Blount played on the Steelers' first drive. And it was an especially eventful drive for Bell, who rushed three times for 11 yards while dishing out and taking a good deal of punishment. While he showed excellent power finishing out a seven-yard run, he later took a hit to the head/neck area from Eagles linebacker DeMeco Ryans on a passing play.
Ryans was penalized on the play, and Bell left for one snap, giving way to Blount, who rushed for five yards on his first carry. However, Bell then re-entered the contest. The Steelers' drive would end in a punt.
Griffin stands by his "doubters" tweet
Some folks conjure imaginary friends. Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III has crafted some imaginary enemies. On Wednesday, he chastised his unidentified — and possibly non-existent — "doubters" via Twitter. On Thursday, Griffin dug in even deeper.
"As far as I'm concerned, I said what I needed to say," Griffin said Thursday, via the Associated Press. "It is what I believe, and what our household deems necessary to go out every day and be successful."
Griffin added that he'll continue to periodically communicate through Twitter, reasoning that his followers follow him for a reason.
"There are 1.1 million people on Twitter that want to hear what [I] have to say," Griffin said, going scoreboard on his seven-figure collection of Twitter users who receive any and all of his tweets and retweets. "And it's not that we tweet all the time, but anytime we tweet something it gets blown up, but it is what it is."
If Griffin has concocted a narrative that many doubt him in order to provide extra motivation for himself and his teammates, that's fine. The perception that he's thin-skinned, however, will serve as chum in the Internet shark tank, inviting plenty of real doubt, hate, and vitriol to replace the exaggerated and/or fabricated collection of criticism that prompted his tweet.
Chris Polk out for Eagles on Thursday night; Lance Moore expected to sit for Steelers
The Eagles and Steelers will be several players short on Thursday night in Philadelphia.
Eagles cornerback Brandon Boykin (hamstring), wide receiver Josh Huff (shoulder), linebacker Jake Knott (hamstring), tailback Chris Polk (hamstring), wide receiver Brad Smith (hamstring) and center Julian Vandervelde (back) will not play, the club's website reported.
Polk, a second-year pro from Washington, is in a competition for a roster spot in a crowded RB corps.
The Steelers have announced the following players are not expected to play: wide receiver Lance Moore (undisclosed), tight end Eric Waters (concussion), center/offensive guard Cody Wallace (finger), long-snapper Greg Warren (knee), safety Will Allen (hamstring), running back Tauren Poole (hamstring), fullback Will Johnson (hamstring), wide receiver Shaquille Richardson (knee), linebacker Jordan Zumwalt (undisclosed).
UPDATE 6:51 p.m. ET: According to Zach Berman of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Eagles cornerback Cary Williams will also miss tonight's game.
Marrone mad after Bills brawl at practice for second straight day
Bills coach Doug Marrone said after fights broke out at Wednesday's that he didn't want to see that anymore. Apparently his players weren't listening.
More fights broke out at today's practice, and Marrone was not pleased. Marrone yelled at players for getting into it, and when defensive end Jerry Hughes said something back to his coach, Marrone went off, spewing profanity at Hughes and asking, "Do you want to play on this team?"
Marrone also told Hughes, "If you've got a problem with me, you need to come and tell me." The two talked after practice, and Marrone later said Hughes wasn't the only one he was disappointed with.
"That's directed at anyone who doesn't want to be part of the team," Marrone said. "I told Jerry that I love the way he practices and I love the way he plays special teams and how he goes about it. And we've got to get some other guys who are starters to do that."
Some coaches believe that fights at training camp can be a good sign of a tough team, but Marrone doesn't see it that way.
"I'm going to say it again, and I'm not going to answer another question on it: We're responsible for the integrity of the game," Marrone said, via ESPN. "Can you figure it out? Figure it out. We're responsible for the integrity of the game. There is no use for fighting in the game of football. Period. End of discussion. Move on."
Marrone sounds ready to move on from a fight-filled training camp, which concluded with today's practice.
Derek Carr won't play this week
Raiders quarterback Derek Carr made a quick return to practice after suffering a concussion and rib injury during last weekend's game against the Lions, but he hasn't recovered enough for the team to play him against the Packers.
Steve Wyche of NFL Media reports that coach Dennis Allen said that Carr won't play on Friday night because his bruised ribs are still sore. Allen added that Carr has been cleared after his concussion.
The injury likely eliminates what little chance Carr had of starting for the Raiders when they face the Jets in Week One. Barring an injury of his own, you can put Matt Schaub's name into the lineup for that game.
His performance there and in the following weeks will determine how long it is before Carr gets his chance to lead the Raiders offense. If Schaub looks anything like he did with the Texans last season, it probably won't be long.
Report: Steelers want to sign Cortez Allen to new contract
The Steelers are reportedly efforting to sign one of their starting defensive backs to a contract extension.
According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the team wants to sign cornerback Cortez Allen to a new deal.
The 25-year-old Allen is in the final year of his contract. He has appeared in 44 games in three seasons with Pittsburgh, notching 121 tackles, defending 23 passes and recording four interceptions.
As a general rule, the Steelers don't negotiate contracts during the regular season, so if Allen and Pittsburgh are to finalize a deal this year, it will have to be soon. Earlier this week, the club signed offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert to a five-year, $30 million contract.
The Steelers have long had a knack for signing their core players before they hit unrestricted free agency. Allen, who's entering his prime, could draw quite a bit of interest next offseason, given his age and the demand for his position. But it appears Pittsburgh is working to strike a deal now.
Le'Veon Bell, LeGarrette Blount officially charged with marijuana possession
Steelers running backs Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount are in Philadelphia to play the Eagles on Thursday, but they were in Pittsburgh on Wednesday when police found marijuana in a car the two men were in.
They were arrested and, on Thursday, formally charged with crimes. Ross Township Police detective Brian Kohlhepp informed PFT that Blount and Bell are both charged with marijuana possession, as was Mercedes Dollson, a 21-year-old woman who was also in the car at the time of the stop.
Bell, who was driving, has also been charged with driving under the influence of marijuana.
There's no word on court dates at this point and the cases should take some time to make their way through the legal system. Until they do, it is unlikely that either player will face league discipline that could threaten their availability for games this season.
Patriots cut TE D.J. Williams, DL Marcus Forston
The Patriots have made yet another roster move at the tight end position, announcing the release of D.J. Williams on Thursday.
A fourth-year pro from Arkansas, Williams appeared in two games for New England in the 2013 regular season. He has also played for Jacksonville (2013) and Green Bay (2011-2012).
The Packers selected the 25-year-old Williams in the fifth round in 2011. He reportedly has dealt with a leg injury of late.
The move leaves the Patriots with four tight ends.
The Patriots also announced the release of defensive lineman Marcus Forston, a second-year pro who played in three games for New England a season ago.
The Pats have three open roster spots.
Ron Rivera wants Cam Newton to run, except he doesn't
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was able to survive his first game on a rebuilt left ankle, and even ran around a bit.
But as much as Panthers coach Ron Rivera holds his breath when Newton takes off, he also knows that that's who Newton is, and when Newton's at his best.
"I'm going to yell at him because I want him to get rid of the ball. But if he runs, he runs," Rivera said, via Bill Voth of Black and Blue Review. "He's gotta do what he's gotta do to protect himself. He's gotta do what he's gotta do to make plays. So if he runs, then I think it's a great sign."
Newton grinned and said he wasn't much of a slider, but Rivera said his quarterback will need to adapt
"[Hornets owner] Michael Jordan used to go to the hole all the time and dunk," Rivera said. "But if you ask Michael, he realized that later in his career, he had to develop that jumper. So he went work at it. Cam's the same way. He needs to develop as a passer.
"In an interesting way, this may have been the best thing that happened to him in terms of his pure quarterbacking development. He's had to stay in the pocket, he's had to have good footwork, he's had to step into his throws. I think this has been a plus for him."
That and a suspect offensive line will keep Newton on the move this year, and time will tell if he's ready to.
Jamaal Charles returns to practice
Running back Jamaal Charles missed last Sunday's preseason game against the Panthers after suffering a foot injury while moving himself out of the dorm that the Chiefs were staying in during training camp and missed the first couple of practices this week as well, but his absence from the field came to an end on Thursday.
The only difference between his return to work and the days before his injury was that Charles was running the plays of the Vikings as a member of the scout team. Defensive coordinator Bob Sutton explained that the team didn't want to take snaps away from players who would definitely be in the lineup on Saturday night, a group that doesn't include Charles at the moment.
"It's just a way for (Charles) to get work and not take away from guys that are definitely playing in this game," Sutton said, via ESPN.com. "He gives us a good look in there. I'm glad to see him out there, period."
Running back De'Anthony Thomas also returned to practice on Thursday, but safety Eric Berry and wide receiver Dwayne Bowe remained out and are unlikely to be in the lineup against Minnesota.

After months of testing the waters, a citizens group launched a recall drive Monday against the two longest-serving members of Pima Community College's Governing Board.
Scott Stewart, who has occupied the board's District 4 seat since 1999, and Marty Cortez, who has held District 5 since 1995, are being targeted for ouster by a coalition of business and community leaders and PCC students and employees.
It's thought to be the first time in the school's 45-year history that such action has been taken against the unpaid elected officials responsible for overseeing the college.
Recall organizers say the PCC board needs new members to help get the school back on track after it was placed on two years' probation by its accreditor in April.
The accreditor cited grave problems, including corrupt hiring and contracting practices, sexual harassment of female employees and a toxic work environment, all linked to lax board oversight of the school's then top executives.
Since then, board members have attended training sessions to help them become more effective, which critics see as a lost cause.
"The college needs to heal and move on, and the healing process can't begin until these folks are off the board," said Oro Valley businessman Cort Chalfant, who is leading one of the recall committees on behalf of Citizens for PCC Integrity.
Backers of the recall include representatives from the Southern Arizona Leadership Council, the Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, the college's Faculty Senate and other PCC employee groups.
Stewart and Cortez didn't respond to requests for comment on the recall effort. Messages sent to their private email and college email accounts got no response.
The citizens group filed formal paperwork Monday with Pima County's Elections Department as the first step in the recall process.
Members now have 120 days to gather nearly 30,000 voter signatures from across the two districts to force the board members back to the polls this fall.
Without a recall, Stewart's current term of office will expire in 2016 and Cortez's in 2018.
The recall group is seeking donors and people to help gather signatures. Its first volunteer training session is later today, and more are planned once a headquarters is established.
Stewart and Cortez were part of a "dysfunctional" board that lacked integrity and had a "symbiotic" relationship" with former Chancellor Roy Flores, who resigned in 2012 after eight women accused him of sexual harassment, the accreditor said.
Stewart and Cortez have refused repeated calls to resign in light of the accreditor's findings
Two other Flores-era board members, Brenda Even and David Longoria, also have rejected calls to resign.
Even isn't part of the recall effort, since she's near the end of her current term and is up for re-election this fall. Longoria may be the subject of a future recall effort, organizers said.

BELOIT (WKOW) -- Two adults and five children are displaced from their Beloit home after an overnight fire.
The Beloit Fire Department says it started just after midnight Friday at 936 Kenwood Avenue. The family was able to escape the fire without injuries, despite heavy fire in the basement and first floor, and heavy smoke throughout the house.
Investigators say an overheated extension cord attached to a space heater ignited bedding nearby. A smoke alarm alerted the family of the fire.

What you wish you knew before you started a PhD
I asked my research group recently what they wished they had learned before they started work on a PhD. Here are some of the responses.
Why God never received tenure
He had only one major publication. It was in Hebrew. It had no references. It wasn't published in a refereed journal. Some even doubt he wrote it by himself. It may be true that he created the world, but what has he done since then? The scientific community has had a hard time replicating his results. He never applied to the ethics board for permission to use human subjects. When one experiment went awry he tried to cover it by drowning his subjects. When subjects didn't behave as predicted, he deleted them from the sample. He rarely came to class, just told students to read the book. Some say he had his son teach the class. He expelled his first two students for learning. Although there were only 10 requirements, most of his students failed his tests. His office hours were infrequent and often held on limited access mountain tops. No record of working well with colleagues. This list must have appeared on thousands of sites and I've not been able to track down the source. In fact, a search on the phrase yields over 43,000 results on Google. There are another 3,700 where it is titled "Why God never received a PhD". If anyone knows the original source, please post
How to fail a PhD
I read an interesting post today by Matt Might on "10 reasons PhD students fail", and I thought it might be helpful to reflect on some of the barriers to PhD completion that I've seen. Matt's ideas are not all relevant to Australian PhDs, so I have come up with my own list below. Here are the seven steps to failure. 1. Wait for your supervisor to tell you what to do A good supervisor will not tell you what to do. PhD students are not meant to be research assistants, and a PhD is not an extended undergraduate assignment. So waiting to be told what to do next will usually get you nowhere. By the time you graduate with a PhD, you are supposed to be an independent researcher. That means having your own ideas, setting your own research directions, and choosing what to do yourself. In practice, your supervisor will usually need to tell you what to do for the first year, but eventually you need to set the research agenda yourself. By the third year you should certainly know more about your topic than your supervisor, and so are in a better position to know what to do next. 2. Wait for inspiration Sitting around
What to do when the PhD is finished?
So you're wondering what to do once your PhD is finally completed? First, take a holiday. Completing a PhD is an intense and draining exercise, and you should take some time to refresh. Then you need to decide what career path you prefer. In statistics, there are three choices: the academic route, the semi-academic route and the business route. Academic route Most PhD students would like an academic job. In fact, I think all of my PhD students have rather fancied my job! However, it is not an easy path, especially in the first few years. The ideal situation is to get a post-doctoral fellowship, preferably in a different university (and a different country) from where you studied for your doctorate. That gives you some time to concentrate on consolidating your research and to learn from another supervisor. Working in a different country also helps you develop a broader network of research contacts. But there aren't many post-doc positions around, and so it is hard to get something suitable. I am occasionally asked by other researchers if I have any good students finishing soon as they have a post-doc position available. In this case, I pass the information on to any students likely to finish at about the right time. But these are positions
The 7 secrets of highly successful PhD students
It seems everyone has 7 secrets to success, and now someone has hopped on the 7-secrets bandwagon with something for PhD students. Thinkwell is an Australian company offering a seminar and associated work book on "The 7 secrets of highly successful PhD students". I bought the book out of curiosity, but "book" is a gross exaggeration — only eleven pages of fairly simplistic advice. I hope the seminar has more substance. For what it's worth, here are the so-called seven secrets. Care and maintenance of your supervisor. Write and show as you go. Be realistic. Say no to distractions. It's a job. Get help. You can do it. If you can work out what is meant from those headings, you're doing better than me. After reading the "book", I think a better summary would be as follows. Meet regularly with your supervisor. Write up your research ideas as you go. Have realistic research goals. Beware of distractions and other commitments. Set regular hours and take holidays. Make full use of the available help. Persevere. Nothing too surprising there. Perhaps it should have been called "Seven obvious things PhD students should already know". If I haven't put you all off, one of the authors is presenting the seminar at Monash in a couple of weeks. The

This article is an opinionated one and many of you will disagree with me. Comments that have content are welcome and I encourage it. If you can't contribute with real content, need not to comment.
If you've watched the Colts play this season, there's been a huge change. The Colts are running the ball effectively. Why is this? Well it might be that Peyton Manning is injured and that our QB is Curtis Painter. No offense to Curtis Painter…but he's Curtis Painter. Maybe it's that our o-line has improved…well yea, but the o-line has been decimated with injuries. So why are we running the ball so well? Well Addai has the run ball about the same and Carter has run the ball about what was expected of him and he's done just about as much as Mike Hart and Dominic Rhodes did last season. But why is Donald Brown suddenly running well? Well, I think the answer is pretty simple. Donald Brown has improved.
Stats often do lie, but not in this case. Let's just look at average yards per carry since it is one of the most important stats of running the ball. In Browns rookie season, he played 11 games and ran for 3.6 yards/carry with 3 TDs and 1 fumble. In Brown's sophomore season, he played 13 games and ran for 3.9 yards/carry with 2 TDs and no fumbles. Of course we all remember the Jaguars game where Brown ran for 129 yards on 4 carries averaging 9.2 yards/carry and had a long 49 yard run. Although that was a great game for Brown, it was generally a good season for Brown. Notice I said a good season for Brown, not for anyone else. He improved a lot between 2009 and 2010 as Brown had begun posting up 4.0+ yards/carry in games. Yes Brown still had games where he was running for 2.5 yards/carry, but the point is that he begun to play good games, unlike in 2009 where Brown posted up 2.0 yards/carry in just about every game.
Fast forward to this season, yea I think you can call this Brown's breakout season. Brown has posted 4.0+ yards/carry in every game except against New Orleans. And let's admit it, Jonathan Vilma and the rest of the NO defense shut down Indy easily, even if Adrian Peterson were on the Colts, he would've played a bad game. So far this season, Donald Brown hasn't started a game yet and has averaged 4.6 yards/carry for 2 TDs and no fumbles.
Stats aside, let's look at what Brown has done to generate those stats and improve his game. Brown is a straight runner. He's not a dancer like Ray Rice, he's a "give me a hole and I'll burn you" type of runner. In the past, when the o-line couldn't generate a hole, Brown would make bad decisions and just ram himself into the back of an offensive lineman for a 1 or 2 yard gain if he was lucky. If there was a hole, Brown would run through it and if there was a defender, Brown would put his head down and just acept the tackle. Brown seemed to have little to no ball carrier vision what-so-ever. Brown was also a terrible blocker. Not only could he not pick up blitzes, he couldn't block the blitzes he did pickup, oh the frustration. Search "goddammit Donald" on YouTube and that sums up the whole story.
Carry over to this season, Donald is making the necessary cutbacks when there's no hole generated by the o-line, he's more shifty when there's a defender in his way, and he's picking up blitzes better and he's better at blocking in general.
But let's focus on what Brown has always done well. Brown is fast, not only is he fast, he has great acceleration too. He's got the speed and acceleration to burn the fastest in the game. Along with his speed and acceleration, he's got great ball carrier skills. And what I mean is that he can hold onto the ball, he doesn't fumble. He can teach Carter a lesson or two about how to hold onto the ball, and I'm not bashing Carter. But the 2 fumbles that he's given up can be prevented. Back to Brown and his ball carrier skills, he's also been great as a receiver out of the backfield. He can catch passes and secure them quickly so that defenders won't knock it loose. Not to mention if he's wide open out of the backfield, we're almost guaranteed an automatic first down.
So, what all that being said, what is the point of this article? The point is that you, the fans, should not give up Donald Brown just yet. I understand that he is a 1st round draft pick and more is expected out of him and that he has not produced a whole lot since joining this team. But he is improving at everything, he's improving his running game and blocking game. From what I know, Donald Brown has not complained about his playing time, he hasn't had any off field troubles, and he's done everything that's asked of him to the best of his abilities, Donald Brown is a team player. And I predict that Donald Brown will continue to improve throughout the rest of this season, and he will continue to work on his game and by next season, Donald Brown will be good enough to be the Colts #1 back if the fans allow him to be. Unlike Jerry Hughes, Donald Brown has improved and he has a potential future with the Colts organization, so the question comes down to, will you support him? As of last season and as of right now, I am supporting Donald Brown and will continue to support him until Brown and the Colts decide part ways.

Dornblaser Field
The newly renovated Dornblaser Field, thanks in part to generous donations, is looking better than ever. The stadium has received a complete reconstruction, including a resurfaced track, new field, new event equipment, and new bleachers. Hopefully, the new facility will help to propell the Grizzly Track and Field team to the top of the Big Sky.
Dornblaser Field is located next to the Soccer Stadium on the corner of Higgins and South Street.

"No credible basis" for Terry's racism defence
The Football Association panel that banned Chelsea Captain John Terry for four games and fined him £220,000 for using racist language towards QPR defender Anton Ferdinand has said that it is quite satisfied that his words were intended as an insult.
The independent commission has released in writing the full reasons behind the decision to censure Terry, despite the fact that he'd been cleared of any wrongdoing in court.
It said that there was "no credible basis" for Terry's defence that he had only been repeating words he thought Ferdinand had accused him of saying.
The Commission said: "We are quite satisfied, and find on the balance of probabilities, that the offending words were said by way of insult.
"We are able to arrive at that decision without needing to make any adverse findings against Mr Terry arising out of his decision not to give evidence.
"Accordingly, the Commission finds that there is 'clear and convincing' evidence'."
Terry has two weeks to appeal against the decision.

text: In my opinion I think it would be best if Oakland traded RB Justin Fargas, whether it be for a player or a draft pick. Justin is coming up on the dreaded 30 years old for running backs next year and I think they should try to get something for him. Don't get me wrong, I looooove this guy as an NFL RB. Probably the most underrated RB in the league, runs as hard as any running back in the league. I remember when he demolished Al Wilson a few years back, but think about it. Last year Cable showed a tendancy of giving the ball more to Fargas than McFadden, and yes I understand that McFadden had toe problems and was a rookie, but McFadden should of had way more carries. Like I said, Fargas is a bruising runner, therefore the injury factor is there. If we did trade Fargas that would leave D-Mac as the No. 1 and Bush as the No. 2. I think Michael Bush proved quite nicely that he is completely healed from the broken leg and very capable of being a No. 2 RB with his performance against Tampa. Oakland would maybe bring in a FA or draft a RB late because the only other RB on the roster is Louis Rankin, who was a beast last year in the preseason. Let me know what you Raider fans think about maybe trading Justin Fargas. Surely I'm not the only Raider fan who has thought about this this offseason.

I'm all about a little kinky bondage; I can't even try to kid you otherwise *wink* But BDSM is all about consent. And I'm pretty-darn-sure no one has consented to the latest chafing rash of voter access restriction.
However, sex and erotic play are tremendous stress relievers, so we can play with the ball gag of voter suppression, the power play of gerrymandering and other human bondage — just know, the tighter the restrictions, the more likely the oppressed will be whipped into a reactionary frenzy!
If that excites you, I am here, ready to role play poly-sci sex fantasies with you.

Source:Nintendo Is Unstoppable
By Patrick Ross
Remember those commercials that said, Sega does what Nintendont? Well, it turned out to be true. Sega ended up almost shutting down, left the hardware market entirely and is now Nintendos slave, as evidenced by their former mascot Sonic the Hedgehogs appearance in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and the forthcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
A similar thing happened in the last few years, with Sony and Microsoft fanboys claiming that Nintendo had become too kiddy with their GameCube, while real gamers play Grand Theft Auto and Halo and all those ludicrous things.
Most recently, these crowds of what I like to call newbie gamers, who have no concept of what makes quality game design, have been trying to pigeonhole the Nintendo Wii as the casual gamers machine.
Well, thats crap. Look at the crazy sales figuresNintendo just missed outselling Microsofts Xbox 360 during this past October only because of a supply shortage, and then, by a mere 20,000 units. The Wii has outsold the 360 by double or more almost every other month of the year. Besides that, there is an incredible lineup of titles already out and on the way, including a little game called Super Mario Galaxy that came out last week. The game sold 250,000 copies its first day in Japan, and its being called Nintendos greatest platformer ever by IGN.com. Having played it myself, I can tell you it has some pretty astounding physics and graphics for only being on a system thats supposedly two GameCubes taped together.
That aside, the Wii has incredible potential in the future to attract more hardcore games from third-party developers, even more so than the 360 and Sonys Playstation 3, and I attribute this to casual games.
How so? Things like the Wii Remote and upcoming balance board accessory have been derided from the get-go by people like Mark Rein of Epic Games (developers of Gears of War and Unreal Tournament III) as casual-game devices.
That may be true as far as games like Wii Sports and Wii Play, but in reality, these accessories have created the biggest and best revolution in hardcore gaming as well.
Metroid Prime 3 for the Wii showcases unheard-of precision using the combination of the Wii Remote and nunchuk accessory to recreate mouse and keyboard controlsa control scheme Halo 3 players can only dream of (or wait for the games inevitable release on Windows Vista, thus negating the purchase of a $400 Xbox 360).
The upcoming balance board for Wii Fit, a plank that measures shifts in weight, translating them into on-screen action, could easily be expanded for genres like extreme sports, adding real-time motion control to the SSX snowboarding games or Tony Hawk series.
The forthcoming Wii Zapper, while packaged with a simple point-and-shoot game called Links Crossbow Training, has already been adapted for Segas upcoming Ghost Squad, a first-person arcade-style shooting game in the vein of Time Crisis.
People like to say, Well, Nintendos first-party games are the only ones that take advantage of the hardware. Case in point: Metroid Prime. This, too, is a fallacy. If casual games bring in more of the mainstream and, thus, bigger revenues and a wider audience, doesnt this bode well for third-party support, in that companies will have incentive to devote more money, bigger franchises and higher-quality development teams to third-party games?
The simple answer is yes. Furthermore, it has already happened. Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 was just released for the Wii and boasts 32-player online capability, which for a casual games machine is pretty impressive. Besides that, critics have hailed its control scheme as a step above Nintendos own Metroid Prime 3.
Finally, we cant forget about another little game known as Super Smash Bros. Brawl. From all the information released so far, it looks to be the most hardcore Nintendo has ever been. The game boasts multiple online modes, a level designer, 20-plus fighters with more to come, including Sonic the Hedgehog and Metal Gear Solids Solid Snake. It will be the biggest gaming extravaganza Nintendo has ever produced and, perhaps, in the history of the industry.
The future is clear: Nintendo will win this Christmas in the short-term and this generations console war in the long term with a combination of low development-costs, casual and hardcore software, innovative accessories and the gangbuster sales of the Wii and Nintendo DS. Save your money from that overpriced piece of junk, the Playstation 3 (which happens to be selling worse than the GameCube was at this time five years ago), and invest in some Nintendo stock. Dont waste your time with Halo. Get a Wii.

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, just think what a gallon of Pure Michigan cider can do for you.Johnny Appleseed would be proud of Michigans largest and most valuable fruit crop with an economic impact of $700 million annually. Grown on 37,000 acres by 950 family-run farms, more than 20 million bushels of apples are harvested every year.Choose from more than 100 cider mills that welcome visitors in September and October. If you are thinking of picking your own apples this year, be sure to check theMichigan Farm Market & Agricultural Tourism Directory for where to go and when.
The sweet nectar of Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Gala and Honey Crisp apples and more abound at the cider mills where you can watch the cider-making process. Best of all, you dont have to feel guilty enjoying apple cider as it has about87 calories per 6 oz. glass.
Historic Pure Michigan Cider Mills
Historic Dexter Cider Mill near Ann Arbor is the oldest continuously operating cider mill in the state. Today the cider mill keeps its more than 120 year old cider making tradition by using an oak rack press and blending three to five different locally grown apple varieties in every pressing. This mill was cited by "Hour Detroit" magazine as one of the 101 places to visit in the greater Detroit Metropolitan area.
The Franklin Cider Millopened in 1837 as a gristmill, andis located in the Franklin Historic District north of downtown Detroit. It has been pressing apples into cider since 1895, and today, all 21 varieties of apples used are hand picked fresh and 100 percent organic. For a special taste sensation, visit in late September for Honey Crisp cider. Take home apple pie or sugar free apple pie or a bag full of the signature cinnamon spice donuts.
Yates Cider Mill in Rochester Hills has been water-powered since 1863, and presses 300 gallons of fresh blended apple cider per hour. Visitors can also indulge in fresh donuts, apple pies, fudge, apple crisp, jams, and more. Yates earned the title of one of the best cider mills in the US by Forbes Traveler.
Historic Parshallville Grist Mill & Cider Mill in Fentonsits nearby North Ore Creek. Built in 1869, the Grist Mill is a Michigan Historic Site. Enjoy fresh cider, donuts, caramel apples, pies and a variety of specialty food items and gifts. The mill is open 7 days a week through November with entertainment on Sundays.
Uncle John's Cider Mill in St. Johns began in the early 1900's when the mill was a cattle barn. Today it offers the sweet scents of cider and donuts. In September and October explore the five-acre corn maze and straw bale maze, take a wagon ride, walk the nature trail, visit the pumpkin patch or try your hand at the fruit fling, an apple slingshot.
Blake Farms opened in 1946 and was the first pick-your-own orchard in Michigan. ThisMacomb County favorite located in Armada is perfect for a family outing with fresh pressed cider and donuts and a full slate of bakery items to choose from. Kids can enjoy an animal farm, pony rides, a hayride, or picking apples in the orchard with the family. Special attractions are the Haunted Barn and a corn maze.
North of Flint in Mt. Morris is Wolcott Orchards & Cider Mill. The apple orchard was originally planted over 100 years ago by the Wolcott family. Enjoy a completely natural cider product -- undiluted, unfermented, and unsweetened. Families can take a hayride in the orchard. Be sure to call ahead to order your favorite pies.

It certainly feels like every single blog is talking about MyBlogBlog's acquisition by Yahoo. I think TechCrunch gets the "Best Title" award: Yahoo Buys MyBlogLog. No, They Didn't. Wait, Yes.
Well, I am the exception, I am NOT writing about the deal
When I first installed it on my blog, I thought this was all about providing useful outbound stats (who clicked what..etc). Then the faceroll showed up, and before we noticed, MyBlogLog transformed itself into a social networking tool for bloggers. That's all fine, I like it and use it.
But recently I am starting to get spammed. Probably not "bad" spam, just a network's growing pains – contact notifications from people I've never before heard about. I went through this with LinkedIn, until I established my own "less is more" ground rules. Now, let's recognize that LinkedIn is primarily for business, and by definition is more restrictive – online contacts there should really reflect one's real-live network. I feel MyBlogLog is more open, there is room for creating new "friendships" online – yet I think it would be helpful to establish some protocol before contact-hunting escalates to far.
Making someone a contact is not the only way to network, and if we don't already know each other, it's certainly not the right initial step. That's what joining each other's blog communities and sending messages are for. But frankly, "interesting read!" is not a message – if this was a blog-comment, it would be borderline spam. Which brings up the other point – if you join someone's blog community, supposedly you're interested in actually reading the blog itself, will likely engage in a conversation through comments or trackbacks, and soon you will really know each other – that's the right time to add them as a contact.
By following this simple protocol, we can keep MyBlogLog spam-free. What to you think?

Royals previously offered Dempster a two-year deal worth $26 million Read more at: http://nesn.com/2012/12/mlb-winter-meetings-day-3-live-blog-zack-greinke-josh-hamilton-still-big-fish-left-on-free-agent-market/
Here's the 3:18 pm entry: Ken Rosenthal notes that the Royals, Brewers and Red Sox have all showed interest in Ryan Dempster, but the Angels' current level of interest remains unclear. The Royals previously offered Dempster a two-year deal worth $26 million but balked at offering a third year, according to Bob Dutton of The Kansas City Star. There's reportedly no indication that either side has changed its stance." Well, how do like that? So much for the $$ problem. - TL

Hello everyone,
While reading the other thread on "experts'" opinions on who will win the divisions and make the postseason, I came across this ESPN Magazine article from Buster Olney on C.C. Sabathia, including his early childhood, his competitive streak, and where his emotions have gotten the better of him (not during his early years with the Indians, but rather, his childhood playing days.)
You can read the article here.
It's also a main reason why Buster Olney picks the Indians to win the American League (or the World Series? Not sure - I got the latter impression first, then got the former impression later,) and based on Olney's picking record from last season (the best of the ESPN experts according to crazymoloh's post in the other thread - 4 correct choices for division winners and 5 correct choices for playoff teams,) it could be a very good sign (hopefully! :-)
Just my 2 cents.

3.13/5 rDev -9%
A: Poured an amber in color with hints of cherry. A small amount of head sits atop which dissipates to a few scattered patches of cream. Not much lacing. Carbonation seems average. Has a very nice color too it, but looks a bit weak.
S: Nutty, malt aroma with some hints of fruit and an underlying hop presence... flowers and soap.
T: Roasted nuts, maybe a bit of toast, some fruit: apple, pear, cherry, dates... A bittering quality towards the finish which is very crisp and dry. Lingering flavors of roast and bitter hops. Not quite what I expected. I thought this was an amber ale, but on here it says "Altbier" which hints at the fruitiness I found in this one. Reminds me more of an ESB than an amber.
M: Pretty light bodied, really, with average carbonation and not much substance. A bit thin, but not watery, and it really bubbles on the tongue (quite reminiscent of mineral water). I could use a bit more body, but it does make it quite drinkable.
O: Not quite what I expected. Not necessarily a bad thing, but this came off as an ESB, which I am too fond of. That said, it's got something to offer and is quite drinkable, but I think I'd pass on this one in the future.

Poured into a imperial pint glass a clear deep amber/bronze with a thinner but well defined white head.Aromas os sweet dough with some light toastiness,a faint earthy hoppiness compliments the sweet element pretty well.The palate is pretty straight forward with lightly sweet doughiness standing out,not mush hop presence but there is a decent drying in the finish.A no frills malt tilted alt,pretty true to style just not anything spectacular.

Glowing amber when held toward the light, a bit darker than the average amber, labeled as a Dusseldorf style altbier. Forms a light beige head, thicket with fine speckled lacing across the sides of my glass. Aroma has a pleasant fruitiness/grapes/roasted malts with spicy earthy/herbal hops going on as well. Toasted Vienna malts stand out and really bring to mind a good Vienna style lager. Tastes leaves a bit to be desired, a bit of harsh grain husks, dry finish, not enough malts shine through, with a bit of nutty earthiness making things pretty bitter and almost off putting. So far, I can deal with it but it's way to hopped up, earthy dirty hop profile muddles the whole malt experience in this beer. Mouthfeel is a bit harsh with hop oils/bitterness on the palate lingering, not as crisp as I would like. Carbonation is solid medium bodied alt style bier from SoCal. Good stuff, enjoyable brew I'm liking more as it warms up take your time with this one.

22oz bottle. Kind of weird to see a straight-up Yankee amber ale classified in such an old-world style. Time will tell, specifically in the next 30 minutes or so.
This beer pours a mostly clear, bright red brickish hue, with two fingers of loosely foamy, lazily puffy pale beige head, which leaves a nice array of Futurama alien language script lace around the glass as it lazily sinks away.
It smells of sweet bready, fairly pastry-like caramel malt, a subtle roasted biscuity addendum, a bit of apple and pear skin fruitiness, and earthy, leafy hops. The taste is more rather sweet caramel malt, tempered somewhat by further biscuit and dry cracker notes, ethereal savoury spice, very mild citrusy, leafy hops, a slight oily nuttiness, and a bland under-steeped black tea character.
The carbonation is present, but not to any real degree, the body an adequate medium weight, and equananimous in its smoothness. It finishes just on the sweet side, the biscuity malt wilting somewhat, while the inherent fruit, softly metallic stoniness, and leafy, earthy hops hold steady enough for a pretty snapshot of the basic requirements for the style.
An agreeable enough amber ale, of the decidedly American bent. The issue here, I propose, is the lack of actual German heritage, or at least a strict adherence to such. Altbiers have a sort of crisp, unassuming nature to them - this approaches that, but doesn't really follow through. Good, but not the 'goodest' - to mangle a now stale Colbert Nation trope.

22 oz bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a clear coppery amber, with a finger of frothy white colored head that has a bit of an off-look to it. Pretty good retention here, staying rich and leaving a latticework of creamy lace behind that hangs in some thick swathes. The aroma is mostly floral and citric, with a touch of herbal quality about it up front. Underneath is some light notes of smoky roast, bread, and caramel sweetness.
The taste is overall fairly roasty in the mouth. Caramel malts come out to play, as does some fresh citrus character, giving this a tangy pop at times. Good bit of hops here as well, making sure that this finishes very dry, with just a little touch of leftover sweetness hanging on the palate. The mouthfeel is lighter-medium bodied, with a smooth and creamy touch to it. Maybe a bit too smooth, as this does feel a tad light in spots.
This was decent. A bit more beef would have been welcome in the body but for the most part this was a flavorful and easy drinking Alt.

Standard bomber poured into a narrow pils glass. This offering shows a copper amber with good clarity. A half inch of just off white foam offers decent though a bit substandard retention initially, yet keeping a thin film and showing fair lacing.
Aroma is clean and a bit light with some grain and an understated nuttiness. Subtle earthy hops and a touch of caramel present themselves. Nothing overwhelms nor detracts in classic alt style.
Flavor is again clean and smooth, albeit with a notable hop spice character which delivers some unexpected body. Some nutty caramel notes up front segue to a subtle orange citrus character on the finish and a touch of smoke. Offers a touch of spice and a moderately lingering finish as the pour warms. Nicely done and with a well placed level of carbonation.

22oz. bomber. Although label name is Amber Ale - they call it a "Dusseldorf-Style Altbier" and it weighs in at 5.0% ABV and 43 IBU's. It pours a red-copper with brilliant clarity and a two-finger white-cream head. The foam disipates down to a surface cover and leaves only flecks of lace hear and there. The carbonation looks pretty mild.
The nose is fairly sweet with notes of caramel, some toastiness and a metallic twang of sorts. Sweet yet earthy is how I'd describe it simply. Nice and lager like.
The taste starts sweet and malty and briskly fluffs in the mouth rendering some earthiness. The earthy turns toasty and winds to a pilsner crisp finish while coating the tongue with sweet caramel. An unusually nice balance with the carbonation being bigger than it looks. A very lively brew.
Medium full body with high drinkability due to the relatively low ABV. The alcohol is hidden in every aspect. Overall a solid brew in a unique style that I definetly recommend.

Picked up a bomber at Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa.
a - pours a deep copper color with a two-finger ivory head, low-to-moderate retention and lacing, fairly hazy
s - lots of malt with a very toasty aroma, moderate orange/tangerine citrus component, light caramel malt
t - toasted malt and bread up front, light caramel flavor, decent amount of hop bitterness on the mid-palate and finish, some orange and lemon notes mixed in with the toast, pretty dry and slightly bitter finish
m - light-bodied, medium-to-higher carbonation, fairly dry but not overly bitter finish, no alcohol warming
d - pretty drinkable stuff in that it's easy on the palate and balanced, unfortunately, the flavor, while solid, just isn't very interesting
Not bad stuff overall, but nothing memorable. I'd like to try some of the brewery's other offerings.

S: Sweet bread, lots of toasty and nutty malt.
T: Similar to smell, lots of nutty malt, caramel and bread. Tiny bit of chocolate. Nice firm bitterness.
M: Good carbonation.
O: Nothing to crazy here. Very easy drinking, could easily drink a few of these.

If you are still looking to get a great deal the Meadowbrook Mall will be holding a special sale.
In January all of the stores can bring out the merchandise they want to sell and put it in the hallways.
The "sidewalk sale" is held a few times a year and property manager Marcello Lalama said its not something the mall usually does.
"They're usually not permitted to, but they can bring tables and racks of clothes into the concourses so that people can walk by and peruse their items and generate sales for the businesses. We'll do it a few times a year and always after Christmas," Lalama said.
The sidewalk sale will be held Jan. 16 through Jan 20.

Pours a nice reddish-copper color with a two-finger head and very nice clarity.
Aroma is smooth with sweet, grainy malt in the nose. Easygoing.
Taste is light and malty with a hint of caramel upfront. Very mild and yet, full of flavor.
Mouthfeel is full of lingering grainy malt and caramel. Delicious in every way.
Let's just say that this is delicious, sessionable and worth a shot. Its hard enough to find altbiers on tap. Check it out!

Pours deep copper with a thin off-white head that vanishes after awhile.
The smell is of roasted caramel. Earthy notes. Clean.
The taste is of roasted caramel. Earthy notes are there, so is cedar. Sweet finish.
Quite hoppy for the style. But, with spalt hops. Needs more of a malt profile to really fit the bill, IMO. Still, it's a worthy attempt. Very clean. Seems too spalted - more of a malt profile would do it wonders. As it is though - it's decent.

First had: on tap at American Flatbread, Burlington, VT
An American Flatbread house beer. Poured a slightly hazed copper-brown with rusty tints, and a finger or so of off-white head that receded to a thin layer of bubbles. Basic aroma of toasted grains, sweet malts, earthy hops. Taste of malt-soaked wood, toasted grain, , and some mellow hoppage coming in mid-palate. A tad metallic, but not detracting in any serious way. Finished smooth and mostly sweet with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Medium-bodied and quite drinkable.

Off the tap at American Flatbread this beer was a hazy copper color with a one finger, cream-colored head. Good retention and good lacing too. The aroma was soft, dry and very grainy. The flavors were very "European" in style, starting with caramel malt before becoming very dry and taut with lots of wheat and notes of citrus. The dry hopping showed through and the finish was slightly bitter. The mouthfeel was smooth and creamy, the body medium and the carbonation perfect.
