Tis the season. Pours a mostly cloudy darker brown color with more of a mahogany color. A softer amber hue through out as well. Some white fizzy head that does last for a bit but not through the full tasting.
The nose is rich with malt. A mostly caramel and bready aroma with toffee and a hint of pumpernickel bread. Some melanoidin like notes with a kettle aroma. Noticeable esters with plumes and sugar raisins. Some noticeable fusel notes as well but not over the top.
The taste is similar to the aroma. The malt is not as dominant than what the nose would indicate. But I think that is more of the yeast and esters coming out versus the malt backing off. More of a toffee notes almost candi like in the finish. Some bready notes but more of a kettle flavor than anything. Noticeable plums that could rival Belgian beers. Some yeasty notes but mostly clean. Big fusel notes though that is a bit of a deterrent.
The body is between moderate and full but a very light carbonation that could benefit from a bit more carbonic bite. A bit too sweet as well, would like to see a bit smoother. Noticeable alcohol that is bit off. Overall a good beer but would benefit with age for sure.

Pours a clear medium brown with a thinner white head that is gone pretty fast,whoo this is a malt lovers dream here on the nose brown suger,orange rind,and prune dominate just a light touch of earth letting you know there are hops in there.Full almost syrupy mouth feel it coats the mouth before gliding down quite easily,the orange accents prune flavor is quite intense with notes of vanilla and cedar in the finish.Now this is a very complex sipping beer here only one would be enough for me cuzz it could get cloying,but still a very nice winter warmer I really liked the complexities.

Appearance Dark brown with the appearance of dark sugar syrup. Absolutely no head to this one.
Smell The big woody notes lead the way here, followed closely my dark malts, alcohol, and truckloads of sugar. Besides the table and brown, theres also an aroma of dark, overripe fruits that are liquefied. The brown scars on a banana come to mind.
Taste Theres a new flavor here thats not in the aroma. Its very tart and alcoholic, almost like a shot of apple brandy. Otherwise, the big sugars and dark malt from the nose complete the taste.
Mouthfeel This tastes a lot stronger than the ABV on the bottle. Besides that, its full and juicy.
Drinkability Excellent ale for the Christmas holiday.
Comments I reviewed the Elizabethan Ale yesterday, and this has to be from the same barrel.

Not sure when this was bottled. Label says there is a best by date on the cap, but I don't see one.
A - Pours a clear amber/copper with almost zero head.
S - Lots of caramel malt, a bit of fruit, mostly apple, and a bit of candi sugar. Pretty nice.
T - Alcohol is quite noticeable, along with sweet caramel malt, some sugar and brown sugar, and some tart fruit. Has a very faint burnt flavor, and some spices leading to a dry finish.
M - Medium mouthfeel s initially quite syrupy, but finishes dry and with some bitterness.
O - A pretty good winter warmer, but not one I would go back to.

Presentation: Short brown 9.3 oz bottle, no freshness date found though common sense tell me that it has been brewed for Christmas of 2000.
Appearance: Clear brown amber with a thin yet frothy tiny bubbled light tan lace.
Smell: Fruity tartness with a sugary caramel aroma. Touch of pungent sweet hop oil in the nose. Smells of baked apple crisp.
Taste: Creamy smooth with minimal carbonation, almost velvety smooth from the oats. Full bodied with a big chewy malty mouth feel. Sweet with a quick flash of hop twang, hops struggle to keep up with the sweetness though they leave a trail of earthy oil straight into the after taste. Alcohol is slow to start, then warms more and more towards the end of the glass. Highly crystallized sugars in the crystal malt form a brown sugar like flavour with a mild burnt taste towards the finish. Residual sugars are plenty.
Notes: Close to a stock ale or strong ale from centuries past this brew is indeed a well fortified brew of body, strength and complexity. The most impressive winter seasonal I have had from the UK that is available state side.

4.25/5 rDev +12.7%
2000 vintage, with a colorful, nativity painting from a Sussex, church on the label. Pours a clear, copperish red body with a small beige head of large bubbles on an aggressive pour.
Aroma knocks you back with a powerful assault of maltiness. Caramel, butterscotch, and molasses combine with a rum-like alcohol zing to immediately call you pay attention to this old ale. Some burnt oak wood lends a regal smokiness to the superb nose.
Mouthfeel isn't so exciting. Low carbonation is not a surprise for an aged English strong ale, and the vinous alcohol is appropriate and sherry-like.
The taste is quite complex. Bigtime malt flavors of caramel, toffee, and molasses start things off. Rum soaked dark fruits quickly let you know that you're dealing with a serious, strong ale here. This little bottle is full of surprises, as smoked almonds and a note of dark chocolate join the profile. You can sense a strong alcohol presence here, but it's a warming sensation wrapped up in the complexity of the flavors.
Very well crafted, and a near perfect winter warmer for a strong old ale from England. Have one of these and curl up in front of the fireplace on a cold, winter night. Wish I had bought a few more of these to cellar until next winter. The 2000 vintage will only get better with a bit of age.

Poured from the bottle.
The beer poured with very little carbonation.
It was hazy and auburn in colour.
The beer smelled strongly of figs and spices.
The taste was like drinking alcoholic raisin/prune juice with a few spices. It was also a bit slimy on the tongue.
Would I buy it again? No. I just do not care for those types of flavours.

Dark chestnut color, thin head that's speckly. Tiny dot laces. Very malty aroma, heavy amounts of dark caramel candy. Whopping in thickness and depth, bitter chocolate with about ten tablespoons of dark brown sugar mixed in. Low carbonation and lush mouthfeel. A whiskey-like alcohol takes over mid mouth to close, the heat works as much as the peppery hop to balance. Slightly unpleasant stewed prune effect and cloying aftertaste. Seasonal, a cold night beer seems to be the best niche -- like a pull on a bottle of Yukon Jack behind the bleachers at the High School Winter Dance...

Spencer at City Beverage said this was a 2005. Pours a light slightly murky brown color. Very thin head formed and was gone.
Aroma-sweet, malty, buttery, fruitcake-ish with lots of dried fruit aromas. Alcohol was detected on a deep inhale.
Mouthfeel-sweet mellow English Barleywine taste. This aged well and the hops have diminished to an almost nonexistant state. Alcohol is faint and this ale stays sweet to the finish. Very tasty and I would like to taste a fresh one sometime. It was very good as an after dinner beverage also.

A lot better than the Elizabethan ale, quite a raisiny syrup flavour, which i think is associated with most Harveys brews, but this doesn't go too over the top and it least it has a bit of spice to it, which adds a bit to the dimention of the beer overall, but still a little to sweet in my eyes.

Appearance: Deep ruby-mahogany body. Frothy tan milkshake head fades quickly leaving an edge ring and a few floating dollups. Minimal lace.
Smell: Dark fruits, oaky, woody, molasses, carmelized baked apples with cinnamon. Whiff of alcohol.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Lush, full-bodied, creamy/slick sweet malt, cherries, raisins, molasses at the start. Velvety, low carbonation at the top. Soothing light alcohol warmth. Dry, bitter hops attempt to dry out the finish leaving a semi-dry bitter fruity aftertaste. All very well balanced.
Drinkability: Holy Christmas, a fine sipper!

A friend and I swap beers from our six packs so it is cheaper to try different brews. Since I never heard of Harvey's x-mas ale and its the holidays I thought its worth a try.
Blahhh, man was I wrong.
It poured dark brown with no head.
the smell was wretched raisins, prunes, and something rotten I presume.
the taste was terrible- raisin juice plain and simple. I swear Harvey is an inmate of Sing-Sing prison who makes this Pruno hootch in his toilet.
After 3 sips it was poured down the drain! Sorry Harvey!!

Dark red burgundy, cloudy and dense topped by a modest bubbly head. Aroma is tart and sweet, with green grapes, orange peel, lemon peel, purple grapes, plumbs, chocolate, pipe smoke, molasses, toffee, and probably a whole bunch of other stuff. The smell goes on forever until the next beer. Taste is similar in length. Nice balance between the sweetness and dry fruitiness. Body is full feeling but still like an ale. Nice mellow carbonation. Easy to drink at an enjoyable pace.

4.43/5 rDev +17.5%
Murky dark rust with a thin, large-bubbled, lacy sandstone head.
Smells densely of leather and prune juice, interwoven with figs, tart stony cherries, and toffee, riding high atop an oaky port essence. Very few things are so sniffable, and even fewer that aren't chopped into lines.
Enters malty and blanketing. Like a big fuzzy caramel rug with patchwork raisins, molasses, and figs. A sense of smoked pork arrises, fading gradually to a tobacco spiciness. Prunes develop late, preluding the oak-rested port. A black grapiness holds the finish, with everlingering caramel nougat and suede.
This strikes a nimble balance of rich and drinkable.
A bit esoteric, and its eccentricities are difficult to accept up front. But by the finale of this (all too small) glass, I'm willing to call it classic.

2003 edition. Dark brown sugar brown with light head. Lots of licorice anise carmel taste and aroma. Modest carbonation. Easy drink, worth trying the one time, but won't go for it again. Bit of tongue tingle. Syrupy mouthfeel. Sweet prune juice and tabacco aftertaste.

4.43/5 rDev +17.5%
A long-standing bottle pours a clear, deep mahogany body with crimson and orange highlights beneath a thin collar of creamy off-white foam. There's very little head (very British), but the soft and smooth mouthfeel more than makes up for that. It has a very fine, low-level, natural carbonation and medium/full body that work together to give it an impressive mouthfeel! The nose is lightly vinous with dark fruit (plum, cherry, a mild note of currant) and alcohol; but reveals some caramel with further investigation. The flavor is less fruity than the nose suggests; but still offers rich, juicy fruit (mainly cherry) wrapped in caramel and light cocoa with an underlying bitterness. It finishes dry with some residual fruit and caramel that slowly dissolves to reveal the wide bitterness and drying alcohol beneath. It's very well balanced; and the alcohol gives a pleasant warmth on the tongue, but never becomes more than secondary. Fairly rich and complex. Quite nice!

9.3oz bottle, Riley's
enjoyed while watching the snowfall
appearance: pours a rich amber with no head to speak of and some moderate lacing. murkey, tinted slightly brown
smell: toasted malts, some dark fruit, red apple, toffee, caramel, raisins, dates, fig...grassy hops present, festive aromas
taste: fruity...apple, cherry, plum...toasted malts, caramel presence, holiday spice, raisins, dates, slightly nutty...slight alcohol. pretty solid warmer
mouthfeel: quite smooth, alcohol not abrasive at all
drinkability: very drinkable, which begs the question, why such a small bottle!?

Pours a murky brown with minimal beige head. Above average head retention & lacing
S: Plums, figs & a bit of wet cardboard
T: Rich plums, figs & herbal hops up front. Dryness, metallic hops, apples with cinnamon, & brown sugar as this warms. Finishes fruitty, with a touch of leafy hops, candi sugar & doughy notes
MF: Chewy with minimal carbonation, balances well
Drinks okay, I could do a pint or 2 before moving on. Solid winter warmer that I'm sure would be stellar on cask

Harveys Christmas Ale: Whoa. Virtually no head to speak of, and I poured the crap out of it. Very lightly carbonated. The beer is a medium brown, which is very hazy, opaque. The aroma is strong, alcoholic with dried fruits like prunes and raisins. Not much of a beer, but not that bad of a plum wine or some such thing. Alcohol is, to me, the dominant flavor of this brew. Tastes are raisins, a little rum, and some Holiday/pumpkin pie spices. Weird candy aftertaste for some odd reason. Not so nice, do not bother.

275ml thin brown bottle without freshness date. Was labeled a 2002 vintage on the shelf.
Pours clear red-brown without head or lace. Smells sweet and toasted; full of raisins, spiced cookie dough, and caramel laced with alcohol spice. The taste is unexpected to say the least. Starts rounded and toasty, but rapidly turns quite bitter and unpleasant. Mostly an herbal sourness that develops out-of-control diacetyl and phenols in the finish. Medium-sticky body with surprisingly lively carbonation for the age. Perhaps worthwhile when fresh, but hard to tell at this age.

Originally reviewed May 6, 2005. 33 cL Bottle. Clear ruddy brown amber pour, with no head! No carbonation. Plums, wine and madera aromas. Extremely sweet and full of lots of raisins. This beer has been on the shelf for a while, maybe somewhat light struck, with some vinous notes and a background of extremely sugary malt. No hops, but typical of an english barleywine. Raisins are really strong throughout. Finishes mellow, with light honey and more plum. Depth seems shallow, but the strong raisins and grapes notes are interesting. Overall, a little too sugary without character.

Dark ruby coloured with a strong toffee/caramel aroma. Strong on maltiness, fruitiness, and sherry notes; warming, Christmas-pudding-like. A hearty beer to savour on a cold night. Enjoyed to its full potential yesterday evening at a snowbound Spuyten Duyvil, Brooklyn.

2007 Vintage
Pours a reddish brown color with minimal head. Very little lacing is left on the glass.
Rich aroma of dark fruit. Some medicinal(band-aid) aromas are also present.
Caramel. That is the big flavor in this beer. Figs and prune flavors give more richness to the flavor. Fig aftertaste that lasts quite some time.
Medium body with low carbonation.
Nothing really special with this beer. If you are a fig fanatic you probably would love this beer. High ABV lowers the drinkability.

A thin but tightly beaded head forms as I pour form the bottle. Decent retention and a respectable amount of lace. A cola brown brew with sediment particles floating throughout. No carbonation evident.
Smell is sweet with caramel, bready malts, and darker fruits mixed with cherries. Some roasted aromas coming through as well as yeasty fruit esters
Taste is roasty toasted malt and toffee. Coffee and burnt caramel. Figs and currant juice. Finish is long and sweet with a touch of alcohol. Mild hops cut the sweetness and balance it nicely. Dark fruitcake lingers in the mouth along with a sweet alcohol taste and sensation
Mouthfeel is light syrup and superfine carbonation. Just enough bubbles to keep it from sticking.
Drinkability is better than the abv would lead you to believe. Very easy to drink a couple of these. Good stuff here.

In light of the events of this week, Friday afternoon I returned my season tickets. Words fail to describe how I feel about this latest setback in the negotiations. I feel for the front office staff at the Preds and the other clubs as it will be people like them who have to respond to the ticket holders, all the while (I would suspect) wondering if and when lay-offs will begin. I cannot, however, in good conscience return my tickets without also giving the club some parting thoughts.
I am a native Nashvillian and, despite living in Pittsburgh from 1995-2000, have supported this club from its inception. Even while I was in Pittsburgh, my parents attended various events at the arena in support of getting the team, told me what a wonderful man Mr. Leipold was, and sent me assorted merchandise (my favorite is a hat with the logo and pre-dates the unveiling of the team name as the hat reads "Nashville NHL"). In 1998 I drove from Pittsburgh to Buffalo to attend the expansion and entry drafts. Mr. Leipold and I shared a trolley car ride after the Expansion Draft during which he noticed my Preds gear, asked about me and my family and where my interest in the team came from, and gave me a Preds lapel pin as we parted. I think it is safe to say that on Entry Draft Day I was the only one in the building other than David Legwand who was proudly wearing a Preds jersey.
Fast forward to Opening Night 1998, and I was able to secure a ticket from a friend in Nashville. Flying down from Pittsburgh I couldn't believe it was finally happening. On game night, I had occasion to shake Mr. Leipold's hand and, despite being what I'm sure was the highlight of his professional life and without prompting, he remembered me from our brief in encounter in Buffalo and remembered that I lived in Pittsburgh; again, a demonstration that the Preds were a class act that cared about its fans. For the next season or two, we would take in a game when in town, and I still have on my desk a photo of Gnash holding our then four-year-old daughter with me happily looking on.
Returning to Nashville, I shared season tickets with several friends for a few years until family schedule conflicts made it impossible to commit to games so far in advance. Still, I could attend a few games a year and have some wonderful memories, chief among them attending every New Year's Day home game that the club has ever played, Steve Sullivan's first game and hat trick against San Jose and the first home playoff game against Detroit.
As our daughters got older, they each developed their own passion for the club. Last year, our four-year-old turned high school junior and I attended more than a dozen games together and watched countless more on television. She and I spent more than a few Saturday mornings in line with other devoted fans who were frustrated to see scalpers using children to secure their spots in line. After complaining, the club responded with the lottery system which at least leveled the playing field; yet another example of the club trying to do the right thing. Just before Christmas I surprised our daughter with a visit to Jordin Tootoo's radio show, and the tears on her face knowing she would get to meet her favorite player were real. I had no doubt that our younger was going to follow in her big sister's footsteps as a passionate Preds supporter.
As she is now a high school senior and soon to leave home for college, my daughter and I committed to buying a 13-game package this season, knowing that this would be our last time to have quality father-daughter time sharing in a mutual passion for Predators hockey. Events since September 15, however, have made certain that isn't going to happen. Oh, we'll still take in the occasional game as part of our last opportunity for father-daughter bonding before college. Only for us it will be minor league, college and high school hockey from here on. We already have plans to take in the Vanderbilt-UT doubleheader here in January as well as at least one out-of-state game..
Whatever fond memories I have of our family's interactions with the Preds are just that: memories. The inability of the NHL ownership, management and players to put the interests of the fans ahead of their own interests has become the thing that I will remember the Preds for. That is sad, because even in the midst of the lockout the club has tried to do the right thing by its fans. Unfortunately, the Preds are part of a dysfunctional league overrun by greedy, short-sighted, scorched earth mentality owners and players.
Congratulations, gentlemen, you have guaranteed that our family is done with the NHL and the Predators for good.

Where do we need to improve, in what area, and do we need to wait and see next year when oden will play? can we make a mistake by not drafting a guy who is a good player even if he is a center? So what do you think? who should we draft or do we need to wait and see what oden brings to our team?

Yes you can! If it's the raw food version of ice cream, that is. This is what I had for breakfast yesterday:
Doesn't it look totally delicious? Would you have guessed it doen't contain any dairy products at all? This is just a little bit of apple, frozen bananas och raspberries (and a small amount of maple syrup for a little more sweetness). It tastes like something in between ice cream and sorbet. With the banana as a base, you can do all sorts of ice cream flavours. Just add what you like. I love coffee ice cream so I will try to do that later. Of course, that won't be totally raw, but still better than the original.
Unfortunately, since it's cold, it actually isn't all too good to eat for breakfast if you live in a country like Sweden during this time of year. During the winter it's better to eat something warm in the morning, otherwise you won't feel so great during the day. But feel free to eat it later! It's a perfect way to eat more fruit.

Lake Buena Vista, FL (Sports Network) - Freddie Freeman belted two home runs and knocked in three runs to lead the Atlanta Braves to an 11-1 decision over the Houston Astros in spring training action on Sunday.
Dan Uggla smacked a home run in the first, and Brian McCann added a long ball in the third for the Braves, who saw starter Jair Jurrjens allow just one run on three hits with seven strikeouts over six innings.
Matt Downs knocked in the only Houston run, while Jake Goebbert accounted for two of the Astros' six hits. Zach Duke was shelled for 10 runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings on the mound.

Yes, our mascot, Goldy, is awesome. Remember the movie Caddyshack?
Sorry, got to root for the Gophers. U of M undergrad, starting at the McCombs School though this fall for my MBA. At least if the Gophers lose, I can still root for UT over Duke.
Here is what you need to know about MN:
1.) Great coach. Unless you are from Kentucky (which also means winning a national championship gets you very little in terms of job security) you can't argue against him being a great coach. He has had success every where he has been. Remember when Tulsa and Georgia were actually relevant in basketball for a few years? Yeah, Tubby was at both of those schools, too.
2.) Great Defense. All of our players will play defense all the time. Damian Johnson is probably the best defender in the Big 10. Ralph Sampson III is also a tremendous shot blocker. Al Nolen started off the year as a great player on both ends of the floor. Nolen absolutely shredded Louisville. Of late, he has not been good offensively, but still very good defensively. Teams struggle against Minnesota's press. Unfortunately, we just don't do it enough.
3.) Depth. Much of the season, Tubby Smith has employed mass substitutions, often subbing in 3-5 players at a time. Our 6-9 guys are interchangeable and provide sparks off the bench. Two of our better bench players, Devron Bostick and Paul Carter were two of the highest touted JUCO transfers in the country. There just aren't enough minutes to go around, but they are starting to get more.
4.) Streaky. We have had an up and down season. We have very good wins against Louisville, Ohio State, Illinois, Wisconsin (twice). All of those teams are in the tournament. We have no bad losses, so we usually keep it close. Our worst game of the year by far was in East Lansing against Michigan State. That was an abberation.
In addition to being streaky win-loss wise, we have had a story of two halves of the season in respect to shooting as well. We actually set an NCAA record earlier in the year by going 9-9 from 3 point land against Penn State. Since that time, we haven't been good at all from behind the arc.
5.) Youth. We only have two seniors and they don't have big roles. As a result, we can seemingly lack on the floor leadership at times. This can be good or bad. On one hand, you don't know who is going to turn it on. On the other hand, you don't know who to depend on. As far as scoring big baskets go, junior Lawrence Westbrook (cousin of Brian Westbrook - RB Philadelphia Eagles) is the one to hit circus shots in the clutch. Unfortunately, he can also be out of control at times. But with the game on the line, his wild shots more often than not seem to find their way in the basket. Our other relative of fame, Ralph Sampson III, is a 6'11" freshman who is a tremendous shot blocker and has shown the ability to take over the game defensively while offering solid contributions on the offensive side of the ball as well.
I think this should be a typical 7/10 game and close the whole way. Even if one team or another gets up 10-12, it will tighten up at the end. I think the depth of the Big 10 definitely makes us battle tested and ready for a team like Texas.

Wednesday, Cherokee County hosted their annual community disaster drill.
Each year it's a different disaster. This year the event took place at the Jacksonville Middle School campus where they simulated an active shooting as well as other unexpected disasters.
The disaster took a year to plan and is a collaborated effort by police, first responders, hospitals and city officials."The primary thing we're practicing is the SWAT Team clearing the school of someone shooting but it also allows us to practice communication between the different departments and the different roles in how the school reacts and everybody involved if it were really somebody shooting in the school," said Paul White, the Fire Chief of Jacksonville Fire Department.Communication between police, EMS, and the fire department is something they work on for a faster and safer response. "It was a lot smoother with our communications which we had worked on before for the last couple of years. I think some of the things we had put in place was a lot better," said Paul Duncan, the Team Leader of Integrated Services for Trinity Mother Frances. The variety of training keeps responders prepared. The scene included a hostage and even a mock-up Anthrax case. "We try to hit a spectrum of training but we look at the threats that are actually there and what is likely to happen or could happen," said Reece Daniel, Chief of Jacksonville Police.
School officials say they welcome this kind of training. "One of our number one concerns is for safety and security and so we wanted to work with police and the county as we looked for safety and security for the students and as we practiced different drills," said Joe Wardell, Superintendent of Jacksonville Independent School District. "We're committed to the safety of the people in town and even outside of town and this type of training again is so vital and that's why we do so much of it," said Daniel.
...in hopes of saving more lives.
Cherokee County says they have already started planning for next year's community disaster drill.

Wow this is just sad/embarrassing. You wrote this letter in June of 2002, which made you 21 years old when you wrote this. This sounds like the words a 10 year old would put on a birthday card. And you messed up on it twice (on the words 'anymore' and 'for' might I add) and didn't bother to rewrite it? Just shows the level of sophistication… or lack there of.

When I was a kid I was rummaging through the storage room looking for something and found a table top. It was in bad condition, the top was scarred and underneath it still had part of the old aprons attached. Knowing just enough about woodworking to get me into trouble, I took it upon myself to try and fix it. My dad saw my results, which were terrible as the table was very wooblely, and just about killed me. I didn't know it was his grandpa that made the table, and it was one of the only things my dad had of his. Well I didn't do anything to the top (Thankfully) I just added a base. Quicker than you can say trouble I took the base off and put the top back where I found it.
Well, this past year I saw the tabletop again, and ask my mom about it. She said that my dad was a little afraid to do anything to it. My skills have improved a little since my first attempt so I tried it again and this is the end result. I would have to say its leaps and bounds better than the first attept.
The top is Cedar that came from the family property, which we no longer have unfortunately, the aprons are pine and the legs douglas fir, which were the materials that were used on the table when it was first built
Sorry the pictures aren't that great

When you look at the actual larger pic for this piece the top looks like dozens of small sailing signal flags which I think is so cool. I sail so it's probably just me. Anyway, great improvement on an already beautiful piece Dale!

Injuries: Berkman suffers torn ACL
Carpenter, Adams will fight for at-bats
Published: May 21, 2012
» Get updates via Sportsmail
It's almost impossible not to feel bad for St. Louis first baseman Lance Berkman.
The 36-year-old reportedly suffered a torn right ACL, which might result in his retirement. The Cardinals, not to mention fantasy owners, can't afford to cry for the Big Puma for too long.
It's time to pick up Matt Carpenter or Matt Adams. Or both. That is the new position battle in St. Louis, especially with Allen Craig (hamstring) also on the disabled list.
Carpenter, who is owned in just nine percent of Yahoo! leagues, has a head start. He's already started in 25 games at first base. We profiled Carpenter in Get to Know earlier this season, and the book hasn't changed much.
Carpenter hits well at home (.354-3-12) and against righties (.304-1-12). He struggles on the road (.217-1-8) and against lefties (.227-2-8). That opens the door for at least the possibility of a platoon with Adams, whom the Cardinals called up from Class AAA Memphis .
Adams, who had 2,225 adds in Yahoo! leagues on Monday, was hitting .375 with nine homers and 27 RBIs on the farm. He would be a bigger threat for more playing time if his splits were different than Carpenter's. Adams, however, has the same MO with the exception of better road numbers with Memphis this season (.441-6-17).
The trend here is a classic fantasy trap. Owners are picking Adams because of the fresh-face factor, when Carpenter actually is the better pickup right now. NL-only leaguers should be investing in at least one of these guys, especially if they owned Berkman. Carpenter has a little more mixed-league appeal, and it's best to take a wait-and-see approach with Adams in that format unless the league has more than 12 teams.

"Recent reports indicate that about 840 million people around the globe are going hungry and one in four children are stunted," Senator Mason said. "Foreign aid today, to borrow from an old saying, is no longer about giving someone a fish, but about teaching them how to fish," he said. "Australia is helping to fight hunger, improve nutrition and increase food production by working with communities to make farmland more productive, create better markets, and improve the health of mothers and babies," he said. "Better food means better health, which in turn makes for more productive individuals and communities." "Australia's expertise in farming and food technology is world-renowned. Our agricultural experts are using the hard-won know-how that over the past two centuries has turned our arid and often inhospitable continent into a food basket of the world to help our neighbours in the region to grow more and better food in equally challenging conditions," Senator Mason said. Australia's contributions to wider global efforts have helped to advance the Millennium Development Goal of halving the proportion of hungry people in the world by 2015. Since 1990-92, the total number of people going hungry in developing countries has fallen by 17 per cent. Senator Mason said some of Australia's Indo-Pacific neighbours were grappling with a complex situation in which many children were undernourished while obesity rates were increasing. "World Food Day puts a spotlight on this challenge," he said. World Food Day is a United Nations event held on October 16 each year to draw attention to the plight of people around the world who go hungry every day. This year's theme, 'Sustainable food systems for food security and nutrition', recognises the critical role that food and agriculture play in addressing the economic and social costs of malnutrition.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the infamous 5OT epic in South Bend. Now before you jump down my throat for reminiscing on what, at first thought, may be a sharp, painful memory, think about what that day really meant to the University of Louisville hoops team and us, the fans.
There is no legend that does not experience trials and tribulations along the way to glory. No war hero is bereft of a scar. Sometimes, the greater the letdown, the more amazing the rebirth. Such was the case with last year's season. We all know what followed February 9, 2013.
HOFCRP's confident speech, "First we're going to win the next 7....." Revenge on an emotional senior day in the bucket, where we cried our goodbyes to two of this program's greatest and sent the Irish back home praying they wouldn't have to play the Cards at MSG. Then came Syracuse in the Big East Championship game and the true emergence of Trezl (oh yeah, and being down 16 with 15:45 or so remaining in the game; a virtual away game in the world's most famous venue).
Things got fun after that... for a couple weeks. Then the Duke game came along and the world seemingly ended on the court for a little while. But that second half! To Wichita St. and Cleanthony Early putting the biggest lump of dirt possible down my throat for the better part of two hours. To Spike Albrecht blowing up social media and our dreams, then quickly fading into oblivion as Cool Hand says "not today."
I just wanted to say, I don't remember the date of the Duke game, or the Michigan game, or any of them. But for what it's worth, I haven't come close to forgetting February 9th. I don't think I will anytime soon either. Happy anniversary.

The Vintage Strip Club's "BBW Night" With Karla Lane Was So Big They Are Doubling Up This Month
(Los Angeles, CA)- Tony Batman's A Entertainment News - This month, BBW Night is happening twice at the Vintage Strip Club. The fun starts this Saturday, June 15th with headliners Karla Lane and April Flores, along with bodacious BBWs Tyung Lee, Talisa Brown, Tammy Jung, Bella Bendz, Kendra Lee Ryan and Miss Venom. The night is becoming hugely popular, and that's why it's happening twice a month now. Thursday, June 27th, will be the second time you can catch the same line-up of these BBW dream girls. Admission is $20 and you must 21 and over with a valid ID. From 10pm to 2am, curvy babes will dance topless, show off their pole skills, and offer lap and private dances. Vintage has a fully stocked bar and is located at 12317 Branford Street in Sun Valley.
"Last month, we had the biggest crowd we've ever had and it was so much fun hosting," says Karla Lane. "I'll be hosting and dancing again and we've added a few other girls to the mix. Make sure you get there early, so you're not waiting in line or don't get in. And, have your $20s ready."
Next weekend, Karla will be filming her first comeback scenes with Plumper Pass in Florida—the scenes should be released within the next month and then she will be available to film with other directors and studios.
Karla Lane is an independent and can be booked directly for video and print work by emailing her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
All requests for interviews, appearances, magazine placement and general media inquiries about Karla Lane should be directed to Erika Icon of The Rub PR at email@example.com.

Top 16 Blockbusters (#16 - 9)
Over the last couple of weeks, we've looked at the worst blockbusters Hollywood has had to offer. This week we flip it around and begin our look at the best. Being a huge Hollywood success doesn't guarantee a great film, but neither does it necessarily mean that the film in question is a poor one. While many great movies have failed to break box office records, there is no shortage of great films that found its audience in theaters and brought home big-time rewards to their respective studios. This week we begin our look at the best blockbusters in cinematic history.
We're using the same criteria as the Worst Blockbusters list. More specifically, for the purposes of this list we are defining "blockbuster" as any film that made at least $200 million
(not internationally) at the box office, not accounting for inflation. For your reference, there are 129 films which meet that criteria and you can check them out
Just Missing The Cut
The Incredibles
Spider-Man 2
Iron Man
Marvel's The Avengers
This probably isn't too much of a surprise for people who have read my stuff before; I've never been shy about giving
praise. Ivan Reitman's 1984 horror comedy became a blockbuster by our list's definition in an era where bringing in $200 million was no small task and it did so by being one of the most engaging and beloved comedies of the 1980s. It is a testament to Reitman and the talented cast and crew that, in an age of remakes and sequels being reviled by many, people still get excited about the impending
Ghostbusters 3
, even if Bill Murray isn't signed on. Reitman's cast here is pitch perfect; Harold Ramis has never been funnier than he was here as the brilliant and socially-inept Egon, Murray's Venkman is a great charming asshole of a character, Aykroyd was hilarious as the overenthusiastic scientist and Ernie Hudson fits in like a glove by playing the regular guy who knows that what's he's seeing is utterly nuts but has no choice but to accept it. Sigourney Weaver was never hotter than she was in this film and the rest of the supporting cast is great. This is one of those rare films that, despite being very special effects-heavy, don't seem dated even when you watch it today. Certainly the effects look a bit hokier but they don't look cheap by any definition and the writing, Reitman's direction...quite simply, everything just works in amazing ways here. Say what you want about the sequel (and I have), but even if you don't somehow love
you have to respect it and its legacy.
The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars
films are cinematic giants. Even when people complain
en masse
about the prequels, you rarely hear anything bad about the original trilogy and for good reason; they are among the best films not only in fantasy and science fiction but in all of cinema. After the runaway success of
Star Wars
, Lucas was able to move forward with his trilogy. He presented the story for the second to Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan as writers and brought in Irvin Kershner to direct, both to great effect.
The Empire Strikes Back
takes the epic story presented in
Star Wars
and deepens both the mythology and the scope of the story.
is responsible for some of the most important, famous and iconic elements of the franchise's elements, from Yoda and Degobah to Lando Calrissian and the revelation that Vader is, in fact, Luke's father Anakin Skywalker. Even Boba Fett, who is a relatively minor character in the overall scope of the franchise, became one of the most famous and well-known characters in cinema thanks to his brief appearance here and in
Return of the Jedi
. Even people I know who don't like
Star Wars
as a whole don't have anything bad to say about
, because frankly there are very few flaws to be found. And if there is a better exchange in the color era of films than "I love you"/"I know," I don't know what it is.
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Lucasfilm scores another epic film and franchise on this list with that of Indiana Jones. While the old-school serial aspect of
Raiders of the Lost Ark
made it a bit of a safer bet than the idea of an A-list high science-fiction film in
Star Wars
, it was still considered to be a non-mover in Hollywood and every studio rejected it at first out of the belief that it would be too over-the-top and cost too much. Eventually Paramount came on board though and every other studio has regretted it ever since. With Harrison Ford delivering what is perhaps an even more iconic performance than he did as Han Solo, Steven Spielberg crafted one of the most thrilling action-adventure experiences of the modern era.
accomplished the rare and difficult feat of taking an old concept and bringing it forth into the modern era, not sacrificing any of the 1930's pulp era feel or throwing intentional kitsch in and still managing to make it exciting for every generation of filmgoer from the 1980s onward. Ford is matched perfectly with Karen Allen as Marian Ravenwood, Paul Freeman and Ronald Lacey are great villains and the supporting cast is fantastic.
and the rest of the Indiana Jones series helped establish Lucasfilm as one of the true greats in Hollywood, particularly in genre filmmaking and that reputation remains to this day.
The Lion King
Spoiler alert: you're going to see no shortage of animated films on this list. We are well past the days where animation was considered to be just for children and as far as the Walt Disney Company is concerned, I'm not certain that such an intention was ever the case. Certainly animated films tend toward the family-friendly aspects in North America, but with certain exceptions (or certain unfortunate periods of time) Disney has never seemed to feel like they had to dumb down their non-live action films to appeal to children. A great example of that, and my personal favorite traditional 2D animated film, is 1994's
The Lion King
. I know that many people have other favorites--and for the record,
Beauty & The Beast
was a strong contender for my top sixteen as was
--but for my money nothing beats the expansive coming-of-age tale of Simba. I've heard people argue that the film's music is too sappy before and I can sort of understand that on a certain level; I certainly wouldn't doubt that it is broad and fairly unsubtle. But it fits perfectly within the film and the story is impressively plotted out, filled with great characterizations and emotional resonance. The animation by Disney's team under the direction of Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff is still breath-taking to this day. To me,
The Lion King
represented the pinnacle of Disney's hand-drawn animated works and it is perhaps not surprising that the format began to take a downward film immediately following this one at the home of Mickey; there really was no topping it.
We move immediately from Disney's best traditional animation effort to one of their top 3D films via Pixar. Pixar's reputation as a producer of great animated films is almost beyond reproach; at the very least it was up until
Cars 2
. That being said, I actually did not expect to like
as much as I did when it was initially released in theaters. Obviously this had nothing to do with Pixar's skill, but I will admit that while I have always appreciated the skill behind
I just didn't emotionally connect with it the way many others have. Additionally, the trailers for
left me somewhat underwhelmed. When I ended up seeing it I was stunned with how much I enjoyed it. The voice cast is perfect, with Ed Asner making the elderly Carl cranky and yet not too unlikeable and Jordan Nagai is great as the young Russell. The opening sequences detailing Carl's youth through his marriage, widowing and eventual hermit nature is, without equivocation, one of the greatest animated sequences ever committed to film. There is a meme image floating around the internet that
told a more complete and emotionally resonant love story in ten minutes than
did in five films...and let's face it folks, that's funny because it's true. Furthermore, once the film gets in the air the film really kicks in. The dogs with the talking collars represent one of the things Pixar does best in being funny and kid-friendly but not so cutesy as to detract from the film for adults. The only flaw for this one is the villain, who is somewhat underwritten, though Christopher Plummer does great voice work. Even that flaw is very minor; overall this is one of my absolute favorite Pixar films and a top achievement in animation.
Jurassic Park
Jurassic Park
is currently back in theaters, tearing things up in 3D this time around and as of this writing it has added another $42.1 million to its total to approach the $400 million mark domestically. For people who are younger and don't remember its 1993 release, I think it is difficult to understand just how much impact
Jurassic Park
had at the time. CGI is such a common-place thing in films these days that you can barely find a film that doesn't have at least some small form of it. Even romantic comedies, lower-budget indy flicks and the like are known to use CGI, if only to remove wires or change the face of a sign. The prevalence of CGI effects owes a huge debt to this film, which proved that not only was it possible to create realistic-looking images but also that it could be inexpensive.
Jurassic Park
cost a mere $63 million. While you could argue that it was the 1990s then, keep in mind that this was the era of
. Even
Batman Returns
cost more at $80 million. Spielberg proved that you didn't need to break the bank to make a film look amazing.
But what's great about
Jurassic Park
is that it isn't just about the visuals. It is in many ways the ultimate popcorn film, a term that is sometimes used in a derogatory manner but simply means a film that is meant primarily for entertainment value. The script does a great job of distilling Michael Crichton's novel without being unnecessarily cerebral and the performances across the board are great. Spielberg creates some incredibly thrilling action sequences and even some legitimately frightening moments involving the velociraptors. The sequels don't hold up but they are unable to tarnish the legacy of the original, which stands up as one of the greats twenty years after its initial release.
Toy Story 3
Yep, more Disney (or rather, Pixar) animation. While all of Pixar's efforts have been admirable--even the one or two that failed--few can argue that the
Toy Story
franchise doesn't their crowning achievement. There have been rumors (each shot down) that the film will get another sequel down the line, but for now
Toy Story 3
stands as the final and fitting entry in this franchise. All three of the films work in their own way and as the presumed finale, this hits all of the right notes for what may just be the most consistently great film series of all time. The story for part three has some frightening moments in it to be sure, but anyone thinking it is too scary must remember that they had Sid's maniacal tortured toys in the first film and that blew anything here out of the water. The voice acting is as great as ever from the returning cast and the new cast, from Ned Beatty to Michael Keaton, is just as good. This has many touching, poignant and funny moments and the prison escape story is just as good at appealing to adults as the fun visuals are to kids. The only critique I have toward this film is that the climax seems to go a little too over-the-top with the action, but that's the faintest of critiques for an otherwise amazing movie.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
I think it is very difficult to overstate how significant the
Lord of the Rings
films were to cinema as it stands in 2013. Fanboy franchises were starting to become big money at the box office, but few of them were taken seriously as legitimate film fare. For as good as
was, it was viewed with all the cinematic value of the latest big-budget, lowbrow kid's animated film. Peter Jackson's ambitious take on J.R.R. Tolkien's franchise changed that immediately. It wasn't the sole film in 2001 was flip the script on geek films--
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
also released that year--but it was easily the best and the one taken seriously by film scholars, audiences and critics alike. The film garnered a deserved thirteen nominations at the Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor for Ian McKellan and others. While it only won the expected technical awards, the fact remains that it changed the landscape of what genre films could be and it deserves to stand tall as one of the greatest films of the 21st century to date.

Now that I am caught up to current, I have gone back to watch the episodes that have become available in the US since I started watching and thus were previously unavailable to me (thus why I have episodes remaining despite being caught up).

A Texas woman was asked to cover up her shirt when she went to vote because it had the phrase "Vote the Bible" on it.
Kay Hill tried to vote early last week in Williamson County near Austin. Her attorney said when she walked in she was told by an election official that the shirt she was wearing could be offensive to some people.
"You've got this woman targeted because of her religious beliefs," said Attorney Jonathan Seinz.
Seinz is president of Texas Values. He's prepared to defend Hill because he believes she was asked to give up her religious freedom in order to vote.
"This is obviously a religious free expression and no one should be put in a position having to choose religious freedom over deciding to vote," he said.
Williamson County officials said their poll volunteers were just following the state election law which prohibits voters inside a polling place from suggesting how another person should vote.
"The shirt did say vote so it did have to do with voting," said Connie Watson, the Williamson County public affairs manager.
Specifically, the law states, "Electioneering or loitering within 100 feet of the entrance to the polling place or inside the polling place is not allowed. Electioneering would cover wearing a hat, a pen, a t-shirt or a sign that would indicate a position for a political party, candidate or a proposition."
County officials defended the volunteers, who they said eventually gave Hill a jacket to cover up her shirt and allowed her to vote.

Nice to see you so keen on trying to improve the ecommerce package!!. We had set out end of Jan to release the next milestone for the module - Ecommerce 0.6. You can see the tickets to fix for this release here - http://open.silverstripe.com/query?group=status&milestone=Ecommerce+0.6
If you are able to work on any of those tickets that would be a great help. We have been working on the ecommerce module internally for a project so we will be merging our project improvements into the trunk version of ecommerce as well in the next couple of weeks. It would be awesome to see some user committed patches for this coming in!

Hey willr,
Thanks for the prompt response, i will start with ticket #1865. That seems to be a feature most people want.

It's great to have people in the community taking initiative! I look forward to seeing patches - we'll make sure that we review and commit them promptly.
We had scheduled the 0.6-rc1 release for 31st January. Did you want to release sooner than this, cmswarrior?
Sorry about the URL - that was my fault, I renamed the milestone.
I've updated http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=contributors listing you and nicolaas as patch contributors.
Re: Update Ecommerce Module
29 November 2007 at 5:40pm
Hey Sam,
Thanks for listing me as a contributor. YES! am thinking of releasing sooner than that. I was hoping we could release by the end of December, at least the beta version and the stable version by second week of January. Am ready to put as much time as i can into this.
Hopefully this module will help win more people over.
Let me know what you think about this.

Well, if you think you can make it happen then we're not going to stand in your way!
Perhaps we should review the progress in a couple of weeks and see if we're on track for an RC1 release before Christmas? I've added a note to catch up with you on the 14th.
I'm not sure how much time we'll have in December to commit to this, but if there has been significant progress by Christmas perhaps we could look at releasing 0.6.0 stable in early Jan, and 0.6.1 in late Feb.

Here's a beauty equation for you: What the red lip is to fall is what the fuchsia lip is to spring. That is, essential.
I love me some bold lip—especially when it's done like this one at Marc by Marc Jacobs.
(Confession: Marc had me worried for a while there, what with the downright scary faces in his Marc Jacobs show, which happened before this one. Powdered-white skin with clownish brows and lips. Frightening, I tell you. In the next few months, they'll be showing up as "beauty don'ts" in magazines around the world… trust.)
Thankfully, Marc redeemed himself—at least from a beauty POV—with this look. Let's take a gander at the head-to-toe, shall we?
Now at a distance, that bow in her hair is actually pretty adorable, no? Here's the close-up:
Okay… maybe not. For real life, I'd probably swap it out for a cute, Blair Waldorf-style hairband.
But I'm definitely all over this makeup. And how EASY would this be? Nothing on the eyes save a lick of mascara, no blush… just gorgeous matte skin and a matte fuchsia lip. For the skin, may I suggest Giorgio Armani's Lasting Silk Foundation? (Armani foundations are generally considered by makeup artists to be THE BEST—I can remember when I used to do beauty shoots at a magazine I once worked for and they'd always mysteriously go missing…)
As for the lip, I'm partial to NARS for bold colours, and I think Schiap (a semi-matte) is just about the ultimate hot pink.

The first place I thought of was on the lawn outside the garden proper but after a few short weeks the lawn under the bench started to die back for lack of sun.
Sharing with Garden Tuesday
My gardening style is a reflection of who I am. It's natural. It's imperfect. You will find as much of an appreciation for greens and mosses as for more showy colours and plants. You won't find checkerboard patterns and right angles but rather plants spilling into one another, but don't be fooled into thinking there is no design. I patiently take a test-and-optimize approach since I am bound to create as many failures as successes. I will forever be a student in the garden.
I love the way you placed the bench and the path leading up to it is just perfect! I've pinned this for inspiration since we are going to be redoing one of our beds this summer!ReplyDelete
I read your comment to my husband I was so pleased :) There is no better form of flattery than to think you may be creating something similar in your own gardens. Good luck!
