3 cups
all-purpose flour
1/3 cup
white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons
baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons
baking soda
1/3 teaspoon
3/4 cup
cold butter, cut into pieces
9 tablespoons
3 tablespoons
lemon juice
2 1/2 teaspoons
lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons
2 cups
confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup
butter, melted
2 1/2 tablespoons
lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract
2 tablespoons
water, or as needed
If you love lemon, you must try these scones. You will love them. They have the perfect texture and a fabulous lemon flavor. I'm lazy, so I used my food processor to cut the butter into the flour mixture, and then added the liquid mixture through the shoot. Fast and easy, just be sure you don't over process. This is a keeper.
Had to make numerous adjustments to this recipe. I doubled it with allrecipes automatic feature, and the dough was super wet--had to add almost a cup of flour extra. The flavor is not very lemony. I made the glaze, cutting that in half, and before I added all the butter it was almost too thin--no milk was needed at all. With the icing, the flavor was more lemon, and the texture of the finished scones was very nice--not too dry.

These were very good. They turned out very soft, almost cake-like. It isn't precisely what I was expecting but they are tasty!
I made these as directed last night. They came out perfect! Had a hard time finding just lemon scones, then I found this gem. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!
Yummy, I have to make at least 2 sometimes 3 batches, or else they're all gone in an hour. I follow the recipe for the scones as is except that I use whole wheat flour. I still prefer my old recipe for the lemon glaze ( 1 1/2 cup icing sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and add hot water- til liquid enough to brush on.)
These are delicious! I made them for my friends birthday and we could not stop eating them! I followed the directions exactly and they turned out better then expected. The were light, crumbly, and very flavorful. There was plenty pf extra glaze which i put on some extra cookies i had lying around, and it was scrumptious!
I loved the texture and flavor; they rose nicely in the oven and were delicious warm. Easy and fast to make; ready to eat before you know it. I'd like a bit more intensity in the lemon flavor in the scones and frosting.
Either halve the frosting recipe or double the batch of scones! There was more than enough to slather on every bite and we still had leftover frosting. We ran out of scones way too soon.
We can't eat a lot of real sugar. Made the scones with splenda and they came out fine. The real sugar frosting was too sweet for us. Next time I'll try a sweetened lemon butter with zest in it instead of frosting; or a lemon-flavored cream cheese frosting. We can use splenda since sugar isn't the main ingredient.
All Recipes Cranberry Scones By Anne DeCosta has a great butter recipe that should adapt to lemon zest and splenda.
Even though we can't eat the sugar, as is, Angelstar's Amazing Lemon Scones recipe is 5 star. This would be lovely for Christmas breakfast or for a ladies tea. Then by all means make all the frosting and serve the extra "on the side."
These were the best scones I have ever tried. People at work were stealing them from me right out of my lunch bag! I followed the recipe pretty closely but in addition to the lemon juice and zest I added white chocolate and wild blueberries (if you try this freeze the blueberries and then add them right at the very end, after the dough is mixed or everything will turn purple). They were soooo good- they held together well (not crumbly like some recipes I have tried) and they were not dry. They are very flavourful- I am going to add chopped up caramels and apples to my next batch... YUM!!

MONDAY, FEB. 11, 2008 -- See a great story by Marvin West that has one very good anecdote about recruiting hype that turned out not to be true. It's the story of a can't miss prospect named Ghrohueover Glhoebck (pronounced Grover Glick) of the Addis Ababa Sheiks.
But it was funny.
Check it out at http://www.shoppernewsnow.com/aWest.aspx.
One of my favorite stories revolved around Damon Bailey, the Indiana hoops phenom at Shawswicke, who was the object of Bob Knight's best blandishments when Damon was in the eighth grade. John Feinstein ("A Season on the Brink: A Year with Bob Knight and the Indiana Hoosiers") recalled that Knight was so impressed by Bailey that "it had become a running joke among the players and coaches."
It got the point that when Bailey's name was mentioned other players paled into insignificance. How much so?
Larry Bird was a great player, said one Hoosier.
How great?
"Almost as good as Damon."
When coaches wax so eloquently and rhapsodically about a kid not even in high school, it's something to watch, something amazing.
Damon ended up at Indiana five years later and turned out to be a pretty good player. By then, there was another phenom in the wings.
There always is.

Habitat trains construction leaders to build in the Gulf Coast
AMERICUS, Ga. (Feb 26, 2007) – Habitat for Humanity volunteers and staff from around the country have gathered in Gautier, Miss., this week for the organization's first National Construction Leadership Training. The training aims to increase the skilled leadership available to help rebuild in the Katrina-affected areas.
The training was organized by Habitat for Humanity International's Construction and Environmental Resources department in conjunction with Operation Home Delivery, the hurricane response branch of Habitat. Participants from around the country will learn important construction leadership skills, not only in construction technique, but also in safety management, energy efficiency and construction management.
"This is going to be an exciting and worthwhile Leadership Training event for all who attend," said Kevin Ambrey, construction supervisor at Habitat for Humanity International. "People will come away with knowledge, training, resources and valuable hands-on experience. This learning experience will train affiliates in Best Building Practices as presented in the U.S. Construction Standards and leadership skills to teach and lead volunteers in their own affiliates when they return."
Training participants will use the skills at their local Habitat affiliates, but they are also asked to return and use their new skills to lead teams in the Gulf Coast communities. While attending the training, participants will construct two houses from foundation to dry-in, and then take an additional two houses from completed drywall to finished construction. Additionally, participants attend daily classes on construction leadership.
About Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing. Since its founding in Americus, Ga., in 1976, Habitat has built more than 200,000 houses in nearly 100 countries, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1 million people.

I was mainly interested in the basket so I can say with regard to the basket, it is good quality. The internal pieces, utensils, mugs, etc. were junk... period. The mugs basically fell apart out of the box and were never usable. Having said that, with some simple substitutions, it is a very romantic/nostalgic picnic basket.

As we all know, the Astros have the dubious honor of picking first in the MLB entry draft this June. There are a handful of realistic candidates that I can see, and I'm sure one will jump out this season and separate himself from the pack, and what I want to ask is- who do you want to be that guy? I'm sorry if this has been posted here recently, I haven't seen it.
Brief rundown of the 5 players I see as realistic possibilities for the first pick-
Mark Appel- Has been considered a front runner for a long time. Three potential plus pitches and a great frame, but inconsistent command has prevented him from college dominance so far.
Lucas Giolito- A 6'6" monster of a 17 year old, Giolito has a fastball that sits at 95 and touches 99 along with two plus breaking pitches and plus command. He is a potential true ace. Would be the first High School RHP to go at 1.1.
Mike Zunino- A great defensive backstop, Zunino has some holes in his swing but is a good power hitter with plenty of potential at the plate. The safest positional prospect in the draft.
Byron Buxton- An elite athlete who projects as a plus defensive center fielder, Buxton has special tools. He could be a 20/50 type player in the Carl Crawford mold if things break right. The ceiling here is immense.
Stryker Trahan- A dark horse candidate for 1.1, Stryker has one of the best names in draft history and is a very intriguing prospect. He is unique in the sense that he plays catcher but is considered a true five-tool talent. He has a swing that scouts love and runs better than most outfielders.

More support needed to help smokers give up (From St Helens Star)

More support sought to help diabetes sufferers to stop smoking
5:20am Saturday 4th January 2014 in News
DIABETES UK wants more action to help people with diabetes stop smoking.
A new survey has revealed that significant numbers of smokers with the condition are not being offered support and advice about quitting the habit.
The charity's survey discovered that just 45 per cent of smokers were offered support and advice on giving up over the previous 12 months, despite the fact that every person with diabetes is supposed to have their smoking status recorded at their annual review.
Diabetes UK is concerned because smoking is especially harmful for people with diabetes. This is because the condition puts them at increased risk of heart disease, stroke and other circulatory problems, and so if they smoke then the increase to their risk of these conditions is even greater.
One in six people with diabetes are smokers and the charity wants more to be done to help reduce this.
It is calling for all GPs to make sure they use the annual recording of people's smoking status as an opportunity to have a conversation to offer advice and support about stopping. It is also urging people with diabetes who smoke to start the New Year by making a resolution to give up.
Barbara Young, Chief Executive of Diabetes UK, said: "Smoking dramatically increases risk of a number of conditions, including cancer and heart disease, and so is extremely dangerous whether you have diabetes or not. But because diabetes puts a strain on the circulatory system and smoking adds to that strain, smoking is even worse for you if you have the condition.
"Given this, it is important that healthcare professionals make sure the annual conversation they have with people with diabetes about smoking as part of their care planning review is the start of a process of supporting smokers to give up. Providing information about, and access to, the different ways to help people give up smoking is an important part of improving support for people with diabetes.
"Also, structured education programmes help people understand what they need to manage their condition as well as providing effective motivation to support people to give up smoking but far too few people go on them. Supporting people to give up smoking is one of the many potential benefits and GPs have an important role in encouraging people to attend.
"We want to raise awareness of how harmful smoking is when you mix it with diabetes and get the message across to people with diabetes who smoke that giving up could be the best thing they ever do for their health. Making it their New Year's Resolution to give up could mean they see many more New Year's Days than would otherwise be the case."
Getting advice and support if you are a smoker is one of Diabetes UK's 15 Healthcare Essentials, which set out the healthcare that every person with diabetes is entitled to. These include the nine annual checks that the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommends everyone with diabetes should get. They are available to download at www.diabetes.org.uk/15-essentials For support giving up smoking, call Smokefree, an NHS stop smoking service, on 0800 169 0 169; call QUIT, the charity aiming for a smoke-free UK, on 0800 00 22 00; or talk to your GP.

For this writer, one of the most egregious statements a magazine ever made about a filmmaker was in 2002 when Newsweek called M. Night Shyamalan the "Next Spielberg." The surprise twists of his films were gimmicks and never had much substantive weight emotionally or otherwise (other than similar narrative tricks of a shock jock). "The Sixth Sense" is a one trick pony, deeply overrated and doesn't hold up once you know the gag, "Unbreakable" is better genre piece, but I still don't get the fuss and "Signs" was never particularly special either. But as big global hits ($672 million worldwide for 'Sense,' $408 million for "Signs," though "Unbreakable" failed to gross more than $100 million domestically), I suppose I can see why, from a financial perspective Newsweek might have thought Shyamalan might continue to be a big crowd-pleasing blockbuster filmmaker.
But it didn't really happen. While some of the films were still relative financial successes, everything post-"Signs" took a backslide at the box-office, and some of them like "Lady in the Water" and "The Happening" were absolutely reviled and mocked by critics (the latter ended up on many year-end worst lists). The filmmaker's latest, "After Earth," debuted at number three at the box-office despite starring one of the world's biggest actors Will Smith. So many are rightfully asking, "What's wrong with Smith's career?" and to a lesser extent, "Can Shyamalan's career get much worse?"
Where did it all go wrong? Well, even though it was a relative under-performer, 2004's "The Village" was Shyamalan's last hit and many regard it as the point the filmmakers hubris had gone far beyond his head. There are many pieces of evidence of this, but a recent excellent Vulture article reminds us of perhaps the most flagrant example. A 2004 Sci-Fi channel pseudo-documentary titled "The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan," and it's quite the glowing, puff-piece hagiography. Meant to create buzz as a lead up to "The Village," the documentary interviews Shyamalan, his family, friends, various co-workers and essentially tries to uncover where this filmmaker's preternatural genius came from. It's not subtle.
Here's the first kicker. Directed by Nathaniel Kahn, it's a authorized big blow-job until the documentarian begins to dig up parts of Shyamalan past he doesn't want revealed, and he then refuses to cooperate with the filmmaker and angrily breaks off all ties.
Here's the 2nd kicker, and more of a kick in the balls actually. This was all fabricated by Shyamalan and Kahn as essentially a publicity stunt for "The Village." It was presented as an unauthorized bio of the "reclusive" director, but turned out to be another self-absorbed project disguised as self-aware satire and pre-promotion for the film. Weeks before it had even aired, Shyamalan had apparently shat on the documentary publicly to bring attention to it. Narcissism much? That's a bizarrely self-involved ruse and how he thought it would go over well when word inevitably leaked... who knows what he was thinking.
As Vulture astutely writes: "It's a fascinating look into how Shyamalan wants to be perceived....In this version of his life, everyone is in awe of him...And the movie isn't shy about suggesting Shyamalan's supernatural power." It's all a little bit sick and twisted when you think about it, Shyamalan and Kahn essentially trying to burnish the Shyamalan brand by adding to his mystique.
Here's another excerpt from Vulture:
Early on in Buried Secret, Shyamalan is asked, "What is it like to be so successful so young?" He replies sheepishly: "It feels like I can't just make a movie. It has to connect in some unusual fashion for it to be appropriate [for me]. Otherwise," he says, "it's just a movie."
Hat tip again to Vulture, this thing is just utterly... a train-wreck that's hard not to watch. Also, let's not forget that this is the same man who basically commissioned a shrill and whiny propaganda book about why mean ol' Disney couldn't understand the genius of "The Lady In The Water," called "The Man Who Heard Voices: Or, How M. Night Shyamalan Risked His Career on a Fairy Tale." We're not making that up -- Disney, who had bankrolled all of Shyamalan's films for a long run, basically bailed on him after "The Lady In The Water."
In an excellent and rather hilarious New York Times article in 2006, the Grey Lady called the book, "a work about the making of the new film... the book so echoes its subject's point of view (he's the sensitive artiste, misunderstood by his old studio, Disney) that it reads like an act of ventriloquism." Did the Emperor always have no clothes? Decide for yourself and watch some clips from "The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan" below.

There are directors who turn out masterpiece after masterpiece over decades; and there are directors who are hailed and lionised after making a couple of undeniably-excellent movies â Martin Brest, Michael Cimino, Jan De Bont, Hal Hartley, Michael Lehmann â only to creatively fade away thereafter, for any number of personal and professional reasons.
Now, making one or two undeniably-excellent movies may still put Shyamalan (and Brest, and Cimino...) in a better category than most directors, but itâs time to accept that he belongs in the latter group and not the former. In fact the latter category is *far* more populated than the first, throughout film history.
Personally I blame a lot of this fanboyishness on a simplistic and sycophantic interpretation of the auteur theory: that directors are inexhaustible and indefatigable sources of artisanal genius whose every film must be defended.
smart kid says what? | June 6, 2013 2:48 PM
"M. Night's... connected...to the other side." HAHAHAHA
Tania Cinque | June 6, 2013 1:51 AM
So the big secret was that Shyamalan was a conceited blowhole who sucked the whole time? I'm glad people are finally coming to terms with that.
JOHN | June 5, 2013 6:36 PM
This article is just kind of a mean rant. I haven't seen his last few films but I quite enjoyed M. Night's first couple, as I am sure many of you used to before it became cool to hate on him when his output quality varied (then stunk). Many filmmakers make popcorn fluff, but most don't pull off the level of word-of-mouth excitement "The Sixth Sense" did. I think it's OK to appreciate movies with a good twist. I own Sixth and Unbreakable and I am not embarrassed to return to them after knowing the twists. He's not the only filmmaker to use a plot twist. They are fun movies. I'm not throwing them out because the majority have jumped on the bandwagon of hate. And the guy made a tie-in promotion video/mock doc. Wow. That's something you NEVER see filmmakers do these days!
Rollin | June 5, 2013 6:35 PM
What is the purpose of this article ? What are you trying to do exactly ? I would understand if the guy was praised and you clearly thought it was underserved, and you would like to try to make a statement to balance it out. But the guy is panned like nobody else and he is even violently rejected both by critics and most moviegoers just at the mention of his name, unfairly in my opinion compared to other much worse and harmful blockbuster filmmakers, but that's another subject. What more could you possibly want ? End his life ? Attacking a man already down, is that what you call brave and relevant ? I don't. In fact, at this point, the only relevant article to write about Shyamalan would be either to ask the question why so much hate is focused on this man and his movies or to simply defend him. Here, you just add consensus on consensus and it is completely pointless since you already reviewed the movie.
I too rarely see your blog strongly criticizing established and beloved auteurs and filmmakers getting acclaim for uninteresting works. That would take a lot more balls and certainly would make for more interesting debates around what is perceived as bad and good cinema and where do you/we stand on that issue. You are even quite feeble in that area. Is there no one in your staff who thinks guys like Nolan or Abrams make truly shitty movies ? If not, especially in the case of Abrams, I pity your critical abilities.
Glass | June 5, 2013 6:17 PM
I can't believe I never watched this before
lemon | June 5, 2013 5:01 PM
The Sixth Sense sucked. No child would continue to eat soup that makes her sick. The movie sucked the first time I saw it and still sucks to this day. M. Night should be called Night M. as in Night Mare.
Jacob | June 5, 2013 5:01 PM
Another day, another blogger trying to make a name for themselves by trashing Shyamalan. Do you get a special bonus or something for mentioning his name in every other post? It's cool that you've progressed from the tedious "Sixth Sense is his only good movie" argument to "none of his movies were good to begin with" rhetoric but aren't we all pretty much over this by now. What is this, 2008? Let it go, man. Personally, I don't understand the concept of hating a director when you're under no obligation to see any of their films to begin with, but unless you've got serious bullying issues, it seems even more pointless to hate someone already universally despised. Aren't these posts a bit like kicking a cripple's crutches at this point. He's finished. Move on. Be a proper critic and spend your time promoting and discussing the movies you actually enjoy and find worthy of praise. Surely there's some irony in these mediocre, barely readable wannabe critics attacking a mediocre, barely watchable director. I mean, aren't you bloggers pretty much the M. Night of critics?
sam | June 5, 2013 4:32 PM
"âThe Sixth Senseâ is a one trick pony, deeply overrated and doesnât hold up once you know the gag,"
how the hell do you come up with that last part and call it an argument against a film? once you know the twist, the film isn't that interesting? well, the twist is there; how does the movie play if you don't know the ending? that's how it was conceived. ps. i'm not even a fan of his, but come on. this is lame-bashing.
yer | June 5, 2013 1:46 PM
Didn't he say people didn't get his films because they were too 'European?' Yea, if by 'European' you mean 'Awful' then I agree.
Daryl Hannah | June 5, 2013 1:43 PM
Don't forget his acting turn in Lady in the Water as a writer destined to change humanity. and Bob Balaban's film critic character.
Gustavo H.R. | June 5, 2013 1:33 PM
Oh, boy. Another trash piece attacking Shyamalan - and a revisionist one at that. "Oh, I never really thought he was that great to begin with! I don't get all the fuss yadda yadda yadda...".
You can say something about his "end" after he dies or retires. Everything else is just hot air.

Q. This painting was among my late mother's things, and seemed special...
The haircut of the year has arrived. Yes, already. Vogue is calling it the Chop, others have named it the Karlie, after the model Karlie Kloss.
Kloss, already a fashion world veteran at age 20, cut off about seven inches of her dark hair late last year. Vogue declared it the "cut of the moment" in a four-page feature story in the January issue, saying "the season's new hair is swingy, sexy — and refreshingly easy to wear."
The cut was the brainchild of the hairstylist Garren Defazio. It rests just above the shoulders, with some layering in the front, and is topped off with bangs. It echoes the signature 1960s haircut of Jane Birkin.
"I love it," Kloss told the website Fashionologie backstage at a fashion show soon after the new cut was unveiled. "I can't stop touching it." She added that having short hair "actually takes the focus off your hair and puts the focus on you. I'm starting to realize that it's all about confidence."
Kloss, a host (with Joan Smalls, a fellow model) of MTV's House of Style, had long hair that served as a kind of blank canvas for stylists and designers to work with. Such hair gives model a look that is "plain, uniform, like a mannequin" Defazio said. "I gave her a personality by cutting it."
"Karlie's been looking for a new look," he said. "Her hair had been worn out from shows and shoots. Vogue called and said, 'Would you do a cut?' and I said Karlie should be the one to do it on." The length, at just below the jaw, wasn't so short as to be "out of proportion," Defazio said, but also allowed her hair to become healthy again.
He is emphatic that it's neither a bob nor a shag, but a one-length cut with a slight layer in the front. It's a low maintenance look that sets off the face. "I cut it to encourage her natural wave," Defazio said. "It's long enough so she can gel it back, and it's modern because it's airy and rumpled. Short hair is in."
Versions of the cut, with its length hovering somewhere between the chin and the shoulder, and with a few layers and fringe of bangs, has been spotted on models like Arizona Muse, Catherine McNeil, Karen Elson and Lily Kwong. The television presenter Alexa Chung has worn a similar cut for years. Margherita Missoni and Jessica Seinfeld both cut their hair into similar chops last year, as did the designer Olivier Theyskens, who sent models for his Theyskens' Theory Spring 2013 collection down the runway in similar styles to his own.
"When Kate Moss cut her hair really short, everyone started cutting their hair," Defazio said. "When somebody who is notable finds their look, it catches on and becomes a trend."
It comes as no surprise that this cut came early in the year, when so many women resolve to make changes in their look, whether it's ditching ombre highlights or deciding to wear their hair naturally curly. Even the singer Kylie Minogue rang in the new year with a picture of a new, shorter cut and the message posted on Twitter: "New Year. New Haircut. Hello 2013."
As for Kloss's feeling about the cut, Defazio said: "She's in love with it. She can wear her hair natural and doesn't have to blow it dry. She said finally she's got a look she can just shampoo, put on lipstick and mascara, and she feels finished and modern."
Perhaps most importantly, the Chop marks a turn away from the beachy waves ubiquitous on everyone from Hollywood actresses (think of Sofia Vergara) to suburban teenagers. "I'm so tired of the soft wave, red carpet hair," Defazio said. "Like dead straight hair, wavy hair got old. Some of the other models are taking their hair above their shoulders and in the salon, women are taking their hair to collar bone and above. It's a natural look."
In a strange twist, Kloss recently walked in the Victoria's Secret fashion show, where she was given extensions to simulate long, wavy hair.
The Chop has inspired an array of reactions online. A Huffington Post headline asked "Karlie Kloss' Haircut: The Next 'Rachel'?" referring to Jennifer Aniston's Friends-era layered cut. While some commentators found the style plain, others found it inspiring. "Now that I see it on Karlie, I have the sudden feeling that it would make me look like a goddess," Jamie Peck wrote on Thegloss.com.
"It's been a year of big change for me," Kloss said in the Vogue article. "Now feels like a good time for a fresh start."
Sometimes the right haircut at the right moment has the power to change lives and careers.
MIA FARROW: The actress Mia Farrow had long, blond hair until Vidal Sassoon gave her a pixie cut for Rosemary's Baby. According to Hollywood legend, Frank Sinatra, Farrow's husband at the time, was so against the cut that he had her served with divorce papers after seeing it. But the short cut came to represent freedom from the styling routines of long hair. Just ask Anne Hathaway.
LINDA EVANGELISTA: The model Linda Evangelista was once a struggling model in Paris, then in 1989 Julian d'Ys cut her brown hair into a short, boyish look. "That haircut put Linda in the stratosphere," the hairstylist Garren Defazio said. Instead of settling down with her signature look, Evangelista experimented with colour, dyeing it blond and red, and keeping her one of the main supermodels of the 1990s.
GRACE CODDINGTON: When Grace Coddington, now Vogue's creative director, was a model in the 1960s, she had myriad hairstyles, including Vidal Sassoon's famed five-point haircut. But in the early 1970s, she had her long hair permed and dyed flaming red. It's a look she's rarely wavered from ever since. "I always go back to red," she said in the January issue of Allure magazine.

Enjoyed this beer at Bold City's brewpub. Golden and murky, with a rapidly dissipating head the smell is typical of wheat beers; bready and mild fruit notes. Taste is fruity as well but not overwhelmingly so. Mild to medium body. Overall the beer is refreshing and easy to drink.

had this at bold city brewery earlier tonight.
great beer, i love this style of beer.
the colour was a cloudy pale gold, with a finger head that disipated, had some lacing.
smell- bread, maybe some spice
taste- bread, i got something spicy, cant quite figure it out, maybe it was the cloves that are supposed to be with this style.
m/d- great, wonderful, not over carbonated, smooth, wonderful beer to kick back and drink on a humid florida day while enjoying a burger.

Poured on-tap at the Bold City Brewery, the beer was served up in a pint glass. The beer pours a pale, creamy yellow color with an unfiltered haze and a thin film of head. The nose is all bananas, which is not overpowering but smells rather tasty. The flavors are light, but definitely reminded me of homemade banana bread, with toasted bread notes, slight banana overtones, and a spicy coriander at the end of the tongue sliding into the aftertaste. The beer remains light throughout, staying true to the style, and has a light, but slightly sharp, finish. Very tasty beer, and would be great with a heavy meal due to the light flavors and effervescent, crisp body.

A-pale gold and very cloudy as a may good wheat beers are. There is a thin white head that dissipates very quickly. Could be a 5 if there was better head renention.
S-nice cloves but no banana. Nice wheat spicy backbone. No hop aroma.
T-solid clove upfront. Wheat malt comes through. Just a hint of banana on the backend.
M-high carbonation that cleans the palate and leads to a refreshing, dry finish.
Some yeast strain produce low banana esters and I would assume that is the strain they used.

Draft offering at kickbacks back in July. Served in a standard pint, the brew appears a pale yellow color with white frothy cap sitting atop. Patchy webbing of lace sticks all over the glass as the cap recedes.
The aromatics include spice of clove with mild fruit like pear/apple skins. A little bit of wheat grain is also included. The aromatics are pleasantly mild, without fault and spot on for the style.
The taste is mildly tart from the wheat along with a touch of grainy crispness. Spice of clove and fruit akin to some apple/pear sweeps across the tongue mid-palate. Lightly yeasty into the aftertaste.
This is a medium bodied brew with a light refreshing level of carbonation. It is crisp and easy dribking. Overall a nice take on the style. I would not hesitate ordering this again if looking to drink a hefeweizen.

I literally made an account just to say how awesome this beer is.
Smells great, looks a bit cloudy, and tastes somewhat sweet yet bold. I'm really at a loss for words describing this beer in detail, and I've had plenty of other decent wheat beers, but this beer is simply outstanding. One of the best beers I've ever had in my life - definitely in my top 5. Bravo, Bold City.

I am a big wheat ale fan and was very curious to try this brew duringmy first visit ~10/2009. I did not take any deatiled notes at the time as I was visiting w/ 3 friends and tried to stay social.
But I did take careful observations and determined that this was the best "to style" brew I tried @ the taproom to date. I enjoyed the brew in a tall wheat glass. Appearance was golden cloudy in color. Appropriatte banana & clove aromas on a solid wheat backbone. Tastes followed aromas, and I would order this one in a heartbeat on my next visit.

I'm not a big fan of wheats but if I drink them I actually liek them on the lighter style with no fruit or fruity yeast like german. This does not taste like a traditional german hefe, I did not taste the typical banana like flavors. it was clean and full flavored wheat flavors. Very cloudy and golden appearance. A wheat beer for me!

The Chicago Bears welcome the San Diego Chargers to Soldier Field on Thursday night at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Wide receiver Brandon Marshall and defensive end Julius Peppers will suit up after sitting out the preseason opener in Carolina.
Jay Cutler will likely get the first quarter to showcase the Bears' new look offense led by Marc Trestman.
Playing host to a team like San Diego will be a good test for the Bears. Philip Rivers doesn't have the same weapons he once had, but he still has tight end Antonio Gates. He also has up-and-coming wide receiver Vincent Brown.
The Bears will once again be without a couple of key players. Wide receiver Earl Bennett (concussion) and middle linebacker D.J. Williams (calf strain) will be out for the second straight week. Defensive tackle Henry Melton won't be in uniform on Thursday night after suffering a concussion in week one of the preseason.
LS Patrick Mannelly (ribs), RB Armando Allen (hamstring), RB Harvey Unga (hamstring), and T Jonathan Scott (knee) aren't expected to play. WR Joe Anderson (shoulder) and DE Cheta Ozougwu (hamstring) are 50-50 heading into the game.
Here are five players to pay attention to in preseason game No. 2:
Rookie RT Jordan Mills, rookie RB Michael Ford, fourth-year DT Nate Collins, fourth-year DE Corey Wootton and second-year S Brandon Hardin.
Tonight should be a good chance to see more of the young players step up and make a name for themselves in front of the home fans at Soldier Field.
What To Watch For
The Linebackers
This unit had a pretty solid debut against Carolina. Rookies Jon Bostic and Khaseem Greene played very well. Lance Briggs and James Anderson didn't get much playing time, but they both looked solid in their short stint on the field. Tonight should be another big test for the linebackers specifically the younger players. It will be important for James Anderson to get comfortable in the defensive as well. But figuring out the depth and the future of this core is essential. Bostic's 51-yard interception return in Carolina was great to see, but can he once again play at a high level? Also, can Khaseem Greene prove that his worth protecting against the pass? It should be a fun one to watch with these linebackers looking to make plays all night.
The Quarterbacks
We know what Jay Cutler can bring to the table. His receivers and him need to get on the same page especially early on. The first quarter will be big for Cutler and Co. His backup Josh McCown didn't really wow anybody in Carolina, but I think he is a better backup then most believe. He certainly needs to look more sharp tonight. Second-year man Matt Blanchard completed 15 of 18 passes for 194 yards and one interception against the Panthers. However, the interception proved how raw Blanchard still is. He needs to keep growing as a player before he could be considered a legit option at quarterback in this league.
The Tight Ends
We didn't see much from this unit in terms of receptions. They combined for three catches for 17 yards. Steve Maneri had one catch for eight yards, while Gabe Miller had two catches for 9 yards. Fendi Onobun dropped what appeared to be a sure touchdown. Martellus Bennett and Leonard Pope weren't targeted at all. Bennett will likely get looks in the first quarter, while Pope will have get extensive playing time throughout. Kyle Adams sat out of the first game, but will get playing time at fullback and tight end tonight. This will be a big game for Onobun and Adams who are both looking to earn a roster spot. Adams might have the leg up because of his experience and versatility.
The Offensive Line
J'Marcus Webb and James Brown have been benched in favor of rookies Jordan Mills and Kyle Long. Its really not hard to believe considering Webb has been inconsistent during his three seasons in the windy city. Brown is an inexperienced guard in his second year, while Long was selected in the first-round this year. Brown still has a chance to earn the starting gig, but Long should be able to lock it up over the next few weeks. This is a huge test for rookies Kyle Long and Jordan Mills. Eben Britton is auditioning for the swing tackle position. He is looking to play better than he did against the Panthers. Jermon Bushrod and Matt Slauson will be looking to gain more experience in this offense in limited playing time tonight.
Weather.com Weather Forecast
Expect the weather to be in upper 60′s and mostly clear. Lows in the mid 50s. Southeast winds around 10 mph early in the evening.

New Trailer for "42″
There isn't a sports movie in 2013 that we are looking forward to more than "42″, the Jackie Robinson biopic. With the release only three months away, the marketing team behind the movie have released their second full length trailer.
Headlined by a relatively unknown actor, Chadwick Boseman, as Robinson, the rest of the cast is star packed for a sports movie. Harrison Ford is cast as Branch Rickey, Alan Tudyk as Ben Chapman and veteran television actors John C. McGinley, Christopher Meloni and James Pickens, Jr. all appear as well. Actress Nicole Beharie is cast as the future Mrs. Rachel Robinson, making it the second time she's taken on the role as a love interest to a sports legend after she played Ernie Davis' girlfriend in "The Express."
After the disappointing flop "Trouble with the Curve" came out in 2012 we've been looking forward to "42″ with renewed hope. It takes a lot for a baseball film to be a great movie, but with a well-known story and exceptional cast, we think "42″ has what it takes to make our top 25 baseball movie list.

Now that the final cuts have been made, pending whatever happens until the first game roster of the season, it seems a good time to update the OL. The last update was
I started with an update for all the previous articles on the OL
1. Dockery is gone - check
2. What to do with Free - cheaper and playing better
3. Will Costa and/or Kowalski be healthy - looks like both are better
4. How healthy is Bernie - ?
5. I suspect that one or both of Arkin and Leary do not make the team - needs updating
6. Parnell, Weems and all the other place holders - we need to look at backup tackles
7. Presume Smith, Frederick and Cook are safe - Cook not so much
And reiterated some questions that needed to be asked. It is still early in training camp so lets recap the questions that I laid out before
Questions that all inter-relate
Question 1 – are the players healthy? If not they could be cut/IR/PUP.
Question 2 - how much dead money to eat with the FA guards Livngs and Bernie. Livings is past his prime and is Bernie more of a young guy to develop like Costa/Kowalksi/Arkin/Leary or a transition guy like Livings.
Question 3 - how much dead money to eat on Free. I think we have one more year because of his salary cap hit. Yet we will find out sooner than later.
Question 4 - if we keep Costa and/or Kowalski, then do we need the 30 year old Cook, who is the second oldest behind Livings.
The final cuts provide us with some answers.
Some of the players are NOT healthy right now.
The pending move of Free to guard is evidence of that. Free took a pay cut in exchange for more guaranteed money this year and an option to guarantee next year's money. As the senior member of the OL, Free has taken over the leadership role from Kosier. It is notable that he did not make any comments about his salary situation this year.
He has further shown the RKG attitude by working out at guard. This is not his natural position, but the team is doing all it can to get the best five guys on the field, pending resolution of injuries.
Leary and Livings were fighting injuries and had surgeries on their knees. Kowalksi and Bernie were fighting injuries all off-season.
Leary might be ready for the season opener. He and Arkin were the primary young guys to develop. Leary has stepped up and will start when healthy. Arkin has improved enough to be a quality backup this year.
I had thought that Livings was the key to the OL decision making process. We finally placed Livings on IR for the season as one of the last acts of the off-season. We had signed him to a relatively cheap contract to give time to develop the young guys and they have.
We could cut Livings after two years with little cap hit. The decision to put him on IR means that we will make the cut next year and not eat the dead money this year. He was the most consistent interior OL guy we had last year. Yet he is this year's Holland.
We cut Holland the last week of the off-season. Yet we waited until the last moment to give us as much time as possible to evaluate the young guys. We eventually brought him back to be our most consistent interior OL last year. Yet everyone should say he came back a lot more healthy and motivated than when we cut him.
Just like Garrett's first year as HC, the final decision on the OL took to the last days of the off-season. That year we used three draft picks and signed Kowalksi as a UDFA. Kowalksi's play at center forced a cascade effect as we decided that we could not keep three centers. We asked Gurode to take a pay cut, and when he refused, he was cut.
Like Livings, Bernie was signed as a FA. Yet unlike Livings who was only a guard, Bernie could play center if we needed him. Unfortunately, we had to find that out last year as we used him as our emergency 4th string center after Cook was injured.
Bernie is also much younger than Livings, who is our oldest OL on the roster. As such, he is still developing himself. We also restructured his contract this year unlike Livings.
Among the last cuts this year was Kowalksi. He was our primary backup center last year, but was placed on PUP. We traded for Cook to replace him last year. Kowalksi was never really healthy last year even when we activated him. Not surprisingly we waited until we activated him to put Costa on IR just to have a warm body on the roster.
This year, K was again injured and never really got on tract at guard. Though he was our quickest and most mobile, he was not as strong as some other options and was lower on the roster depth. In a numbers game, he was the odd man out.
We placed Cook on IR. We could not cut him while he was injured. Yet he had moved down the roster as we added Frederick at center. Cook is the second oldest OL on the roster and we will punt the decision on him just like Livings.
Backup tackle was an interesting battle all camp.
We signed Weems to the roster when we put Costa on IR last year. This was a way to better distribute the positions as we only had three tackles on the roster at the time – Free, Smith, and Parnell. He was another younger version of Parnell as a developmental project.
Not much was known about Weems other than that. So we brought several other candidates into camp for competition. Coughman showed the RKG attitude who practiced at guard, but was really fighting for a PS spot.
We also brought in Bell, who was out of shape but had several years of NFL experience. Bell was a last day cut as we decided to go with Parnell. Garrett has almost always taken the younger developmental guy when faced with a decision of long term versus short term considerations.
PFF has added scores for pre-season games this year. I think there scores are particularly suspect during the pre-season as the number of games are different and the level of competition is widely variable. Yet of the tackles for Dallas this off-season:
Smith………...04…….6.6……03 of 203…..98
Free………....03.......1.7…….49 of 203…..76
Weems……...05…...1.2…….63 of 203…..69
Parnell……....02…...0.5…….81 of 203…..60
Coughman….04….-2.8.......174 of 203…..14
Bell…………..02….-3.6…...180 of 203…..11
Parnell was over-hyped last year as many of the comments were actually anti-Free. Parnell was an adequate backup and as such could start for a limited number of games. Play him too much and you find out why he is a backup. He also alternated with Free to get some quality snaps last year, but Free outplayed him.
This year, he was injured and did not play early in the off-season. He was the swing tackle to start the off-season and ended that way. He is still developing.
We played Weems more than other options to evaluate him and to give him quality snaps to develop. Did he excel, no. Yet he is also two years younger than the project Parnell and we will give him more time to develop.

The starting OL will be much younger again this year.
With injuries the starting lineup against the Giants is unknown. It could be
Smith, Leary, Frederick, Free, Parnell – 23, 24, 22, 29, 25 = 123
Smith, Leary, Frederick, Bernie, Free – 23, 24, 22, 27, 29 = 125
Either could be among the youngest in the league. This is a far cry from the Pre-Garrett OL of
Free, Kosier, Gurode, Davis, Colombo – 26, 31, 32, 32, 31 = 152

The Morning Report: Shannon Brown and Mikki Moore, getting very, very dirtyFiled under: The Morning Report; Tagged as: Anthony Randolph, C.J. Watson, Devean George, Kelenna Azubuike, Kobe Bryant, Mike Dunleavy, Mikki Moore, Monta Ellis, Ronny Turiaf, Shannon Brown
KCAL (via YouTube): Start here, with Shannon Brown crapping all over Mikki Moore in hi-def. (Or click on the jump for the embedded video.) Honestly, that dunk was so personal and intimate, it felt like we ought to give the two of them the arena, alone, for a few minutes, to work out the ramifications amongst themselves.
Ball Don't Lie/Yahoo! Sports (J.E. Skeets): The Dunk Heard 'Round The Internets.
(BTW, all jokes aside, when you take the Brown dunk and combine it with Kobe Bryant skirting Moore like a pylon on the Lakers' very next possession on his way to a banked layup and three-point play, it does make you wonder if all Moore can give you defensively is a poor imitation of Mike Dunleavy Jr.'s constant attempts to draw charges. Because if that's the case, the Brandan Wright injury is going to hurt more than I even expected.)
Inside the Warriors/Contra Costa Times (Marcus Thompson II): "This could be one of those seasons," reads Marcus' lead, and while that does say it all, there's plenty of other nuggets to unearth, so keep reading. Kelenna Azubuike was out with a sprained ankle, joining Ronny Turiaf, Devean George and C.J. Watson on the sidelines. And I loved this description, which definitely fit with what I was able to glean from stealing glances at a wonky Justin.tv link while covering another event: "(Anthony) Randolph finished with 18 points, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks and 4 turnovers. At times it looked as if he was the only one playing defense." I fear we're going to see that last sentence repeated about 14,000 times before April rolls around.
Fast Break/San Jose Mercury News (Adam Lauridsen): Adam correctly points out that Andris Biedrins got abused, yet again, by Andrew Bynum. Would it surprise any Warriors fan to learn that of the 29 other NBA teams, Bynum averages the most rebounds per minute — 19.5 per 48 — against the Warriors? However, I think his worries about Stephen Jackson may be a little overblown. Did Jackson jake it last night? Sure he did. But it's a meaningless exhibition with a third of the team hurt. I think it would have helped Jackson's image with fans if he'd played hard and raged against the inevitable outcome, but he clearly doesn't care to play that game.
Golden State Warriors (Rusty Simmons): A bevy of quotes in Ye Olde Notebooke Dump, including this kernel of truth from George: "Winning covers up all drama. I've definitely been on teams and guys didn't get along, but everyone in this world isn't going to get along. You just have to be able to work together two or three hours a day.

Does it matter that the dunk was a charge?
Mikki didn't even challenged the shot…let's see Brown do that on Randolph.
Geoff Lepper October 8th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Michael: It's not, because Mikki's left foot was on the restricted-area line.
commish October 8th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
If a vet like Moore isn't going to man up and try to block that shot, and give a hard foul, who in the hell besides Ronny on this team will? What a pathetic joke of a team.
Twinkie defense October 8th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
That was not a charge but with all the noise I was expecting something much nastier… I've seen way worse dunks than that.

Investing in Students and Supporting Research Are Chief Goals for Business College Dean Says
At his recent State of the College address, Dean Gilbert R. Yochum spoke of an Old Dominion University College of Business and Public Administration growing rapidly, achieving research and student successes, and focused on the future.
Yochum said the college has pledged to invest in research output and establish itself as a key cog in ODU's strategic plan to position the university as a top metropolitan research institution.
"The president laid down his challenge in his State of the University address. We want to think about how we can fit into that challenge," said Yochum, who was named dean of the CBPA in March 2011 after serving eight months as interim dean.
Among its roles in helping ODU achieve national recognition as an engaged, metropolitan research university, Yochum said the college will continue to enhance initiatives such as the Maritime Institute, State of the Region report and Economic Forecasting Project, Center for Real Estate and Economic Development, and the Economics Club of Hampton Roads, and work cooperatively with the ODU Business Gateway.
The dean said the college's core mission will be to invest in its students, particularly in the quality of students ODU attracts and graduates.
In his 45-minute presentation, Yochum said one of the challenges the college faces is continuing to excel in research - "We are really moving forward as a research college" - while still serving its undergraduate students, who make up the bulk of CBPA enrollment.
"They are the heart and soul of our college. They help us generate revenue. As a business school, this is something we've got to pay very close attention to in our really important work toward fiscal sustainability," said Yochum.
The college's undergraduate student population has increased by more than 10 percent since the last formal review of the its operations in 2006. Although this growth has not been matched by an equal percentage growth in full-time faculty, the dean said the college has added three full-time faculty members for the fall 2011 semester.
Yochum said that, by objective markers, the college is making significant progress. Research by faculty members was published in more than 100 peer-reviewed journals in 2010-11, CBPA faculty are associate editors or serve on the editorial boards of more than 40 peer-reviewed journals and the college hosts five international journals.
Also highlighted in the address were increasing financial support for students (four new endowments were established in 2010-11) and increasing external funding awarded to faculty (approximately $672,000 was awarded during the past academic year).
Yochum noted that the average GRE and GMAT scores of students admitted to CBPA graduate programs are the highest they've ever been. "That is a specific objective: to raise the quality of our students as the quality of our faculty increases as well," he said.
The dean concluded his presentation by singling out the achievement of a group of students enrolled in the Master of Science in Accounting program, led by Sara Crabtree, along with their faculty advisers, for taking first place in the Association of Government Accountants (AGA) 2011 Graduate-Level Government Finance Case Challenge.
Yochum said successes like the AGA competition victory, and the ongoing achievement of the college's interns working at prestigious companies and organizations around the region, demonstrated that ODU's business and public administration students can compete with students from any program in the commonwealth.
"Probably the most important aspect of this is seeing Old Dominion University students perform," the dean said. "When we get feedback from these organizations, here's what they tell us: our students perform every bit as well, if not better, when compared to other Virginia universities."

Change is good. Change is good. Change is good.
I have to keep telling myself that so the headache I've had for the past four weeks will seem worth it.
Very Culinary is going through some changes. Come next week, you'll hardly recognize me. Well, except the name will still be the same. And the categories will be the same. And I'll still be charming and sarcastic ;-)
But the look? Completely different. The interface? Different. And the landing page with the slide show…gone. I'm dropping the /_blog/ part from the URL, so everything simply lives on veryculinary.com
All better. Way better. Pinky promise.
The notifications will still be coming from the same place, so you shouldn't need to do anything. (I say this as I roll my eyes…since nothing is ever that simple, right? Especially with the Feedburner snafu I had this week) *fingers crossed*
If you are a fellow food blogger and I happen to be so lucky to be on your blog roll, and you have me linked to veryculinary.com/_blog/, you'll need to update that to veryculinary.com – I'll send you cookies, k?
Have a great weekend!

I wanted to make this a simple post on one of the many threads about the Braunpocalypse, but I kept getting errors. Maybe it's too long? So, now it's a fanpost.
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
One part that intrigues me in the uproar surrounding Braun's suspension is players saying things like 'he should lose his MVP' or 'he should be banned for life.' The problem is, this suspension is only about Braun. He had his own dilemma carved out with MLB, and the punishment was personally crafted for him and in no way changes the expectations for anyone else.
It also doesn't lend any credibility to MLB's testing program at all. And before you question that, think of it this way - the way the players would - does this suspension in any way increase your confidence that the other great players in the league are not using banned substances? Probably not.
Take a look at the top 10 active guys in career OPS, all of whom had productive seasons in the steroid era, and consider them individually:
Pujols. I know how I feel about him, and I've questioned his ability to heal a broken arm in three weeks. And his SI article claiming he was pure as driven show makes me think he 'doth protest too much.' Oh sure, we should believe him, but for exactly the same reasons we had faith in Braun before his failed test.
Manny. Known and punished user of several substances, including having more estrogen than Octomom.
Cabrera. The most dangerous hitter in the game right now, has all the potential to be roided - or not? The next few years should tell us, as this amazingly productive slugger passes his 30th birthday and should begin to decline. The muscles on his 6'4 frame should begin to lose their twitch, and his numbers should suffer.
Votto. He doesn't have the same power as some of these guys, but he's a great, consistent producer. Now that injuries are starting to interrupt his awesome game he has the motivation to stay on the field, and roids can help that.
Helton. Back in 2000 when 'everyone was dirty' the Toddfather had 103 extra base hits, the 5th-best season ever. He's been less impressive as the years go on, but who knows if he was clean back then?
A-Rod. Well, we know the story here.
Berkman. If there was a time that Berkman would have been motivated to juice, it probably would have been 2005-06. In 2005 at age 29 he misses significant time due to injury for the first time, and his Astros make it all the way to the World Series with users Roger Clemens and Andy Pettite as teammates. Next season he rebounds and pounds out 45 HRs. Things that make you think.
Braun. Guilty, of something. Maybe a few things. Probably not as much as some guys.
Ortiz. Big Papi's career was ending at age 33 because he's a big fat guy and he didn't have it anymore. But suddenly, he has 'it' again and is an MVP candidate at age 37. Hooray, steroids!
Giambi. Also a guilty user.
My point is this - if Braun can go from hero to zero in no time flat, so can all of these guys, and half of them are already there. Since all that the testing is proving at this point is that the testing isn't catching everyone, I have to assume that all of these guys are guilty. And I think that's what pisses players off the most. It's not Braun, it's the system.
I'm not accusing anyone on this list above, but I also wouldn't be surprised to discover that any one of them was dirty. And until baseball makes real, substantial changes to the testing program everyone is guilty by association, and I think that pisses them off the most. Their reward for being good is suspicion.
Until MLB fixes its screwed-up testing process it's just another chapter in a tale told to us by idiots, full of sound and fury, and unfortunately, signifying nothing.

Lynchburg - Will Skinner broke out of an 0-for-19 slump, belting a two-run homer and driving in four runs as the Hillcats beat Winston-Salem 6-4 Thursday night at Calvin Falwell Field.
Skinner blasted a two-run homer in the second, then plated two more with a single in the third as Lynchburg ran up a 6-0 lead.
Tommy La Stella went 3-for-3 with a double, he's 8-for-11 in his four games this season, hitting .727 since an extended stay on the disabled list. Lynchburg starter Navery Moore matched his career-long seven innings, allowing two runs and four hits, striking out three.
Former UVa Cavalier Jeremy Farrell crushed a two-run homer for the Dash for the second straight night. He drove in all four Winston-Salem runs, including two in the ninth.

DES MOINES– In the stifling heat and absurd humidity the West High Trojans remained cool under fire.
And cool under ammonia towels in the dugout.
With the heat index north of 100 degrees, the Trojans battled back from an early deficit to scrub the Rams of Southeast Polk 6-3 in a Class 4A State Quarterfinal game last Tuesday at Principal Park in Des Moines.
The Rams scored in the top of the first inning with two on and an RBI single. It would be SE Polk's only run until a two-run homer in the seventh. In between, West's six runs came two apiece in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings.
CORALVILLE– The Johnson County Republican Party, in conjunction with the other counties in the Second Congressional District, plus Iowa and Linn Counties, are hosting an "Eastern Iowa Picnic and Rally to Meet the Next President!"

I was about 14 or 15 when my Aunt Opal decided it was time I learned to drive a car. The car was my Grandpa's hump-backed, brown 1939 Chevy with scratchy mohair upholstery and a floor-mounted stick shift. It took more tries than I can count before I got the feel of having found the right gear, letting out the clutch at just the right time, and giving it just enough gas at exactly the right moment to avoid killing the engine.
I've been worried this past week, as I've learned that federal agents are investigating alleged crimes I committed while publisher of the Solon Economist and North Liberty Leader. The G-men think I tapped phones to get the scoop on stories over our one and only competitor, the Iowa City Press-Citizen (PC).
Of course this is all complete nonsense.
Melanie Jean Taylor died peacefully Sunday, July 10, 2011, at Centennial Hospital, Nashville, Tenn.
Melanie was preceded in death by her mother, Jean McGinnis Taylor.
She is locally survived by her paternal uncle, Robert H. Taylor (Mary Susan) of Solon.
Melanie was born in Milwaukee, Wis., on May 5, 1949, and attended Shorewood High School in Milwaukee, Elmira College, Elmira, N.Y., the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the Culinary Institute, Santa Rosa, Calif.
Private graveside services will be held at Mount Calvary Cemetery, Cedar Rapids, at a time to be determined by the family.
Loless "Walt" Walters, 80, of Madison, Ind., formerly of Cedar Rapids, died Wednesday morning, July 20, 2011, in Madison at King's Daughters' Hospital. Funeral services were held July 25 at Mitchell Family Funeral Home in Marshalltown. He was laid to rest at Clemons Cemetery in Clemons.
Kelly Krei and Matt Gatens have a lot of things in common.
They both grew up in Iowa City and were Hawkeye fans at a young age.
They went to junior high and high school together. They excelled in two sports and they helped lead City High to state championships in basketball… in the same year.
"It is kind of weird that we both happened to win our senior year," said Kelly. "It was a great thing for City High and we had some great teammates helping us a lot."
While Matt was competing in basketball and golf, Kelly was running track and playing basketball.

Playboy.com: It seems that this sort of atmosphere is going to bring back the intimacy and importance of what coming together to listen to music is all about.
Farrell: I like the idea of new experiences for people. If you consider rock music the way it's been played for people the last 40-50 years, it's been the same. I want to just give a new experience. I don't want people to go there to stand mindlessly and watch, I want them to be excited to go down to see what it's all about you know, get them interested in what it looks like and what it feels like. You gotta get these people out of their houses!
Playboy.com: We're excited that we were able to premiere the explicit version of "Underground." Was there a reason why you guys made this cut?
Farrell: I never look at 'explicit' as something negative. If I had it my way, the explicit version would be the only version. But the sad thing about it is the industry and the way they look at the videos. You have to understand that there is a record company paying for the video that then has to get it played on various stations and sites mostly on the internet nowadays. With places like YouTube and Vimeo censoring, it's hard. So the various places that the record companies go to get it played are all censoring to the point where, you know you show breasts and it's a no-go. It's really sad.
Playboy.com: It's kind of backwards. If you think of some of the first music videos that came out, like David Bowie's first two which made a really big ripple in the record industry censorship wise, you would think that we'd be over the small things.
Farrell: Exactly. We have to be aware of these restrictions and now, if we want to release an explicit video we have to look for places that will play them. And I kind of agonized about it. I would get the cuts and say, "what do you mean we can't show this?"
Playboy.com: Was there stuff that was left out?
Farrell: What we wanted to show was really nothing. To be honest, I wanted to show more blood! The story is about the people of the underground and the underbelly of society and the way that they die and the way that they express themselves sexually and I would get the cuts back and say, "Where's the blood? I don't see any blood and no bodies!" There are really no bodies and it really took the punch out of the video. Not having those shots in there, it's like if Boardwalk Empire or The Sopranos were not allowed to show the guys heads being blown off. And honestly, people wouldn't even really care. That's what makes those sorts of shows. Zany bloody scenes are famous! I wanted a video like that but of course the record company sort of prohibited me from doing it or the director for going that far. That's what I really wanted but it ended up that we got a little bit of nice body shots and uh…so yeah, we'll show it on our site and your site.
Playboy.com: Jane's Addiction is taking part in a Playboy Key Club contest to play a concert at a fan's house. Have you guys ever done anything like this before?
Farrell: I'll tell you a quick story. [Laughs] One time, when I was in Satellite Party, a side project I worked on with my wife, we were used as the prize for a radio giveaway. We would go to these people's houses and preform in their backyard. It ended up that the person who won was in Boston. So we were in Boston in somebody's backyard performing and some girl said to Etty that she was a whore. So Etty freaked out and went to punch the girl but she didn't end up hitting the girl. Instead what happened was the girl's boyfriend jumped in front of her so Etty ended up socking this guy in the face. After that all hell broke loose in the backyard and we were all yanked out of there. That was the only other time that we have been used as a prize.
Playboy.com: Was there a concert you went to as a child that really stuck with you?
Farrell: When I was in my early 20's, I might have been like 20 or 21; I went to this show called the US Festival which was put on by Bill Graham and Steve Wozniak who was still partners with Steve Jobs at Apple at the time. This show was out in San Bernardino and I was just starting to become a musician. I had recorded some demos myself just to use as a calling card. I didn't have a clue or anything, I was actually a waiter. [Laughs] I was waiting tables at the time, that's what I did for money anyway. But I went to this US Festival and was frying on acid but I had this kind of precognitive feeling that I would one day be doing this very thing which is a pretty big precognitive to have. I remember the show had the Talking Heads, David Bowie, Van Halen, The Kinks and a bunch more groups and it was this huge monster festival and of course years later we got to do Lollapalooza. It was from that feeling that I had and the excitement just to see so many great groups together. That's what really inspirited me to do Lollapalooza.

The Differential Effects of Estrogen on Gene Regulation and Apoptosis in the Breast and Bone
Scientific Abstract:
Estrogen plays a biological role in the mammary gland, ovaries, brain, heart, and bone, among other tissues. The molecular mechanism of estrogen action in the bone, however, is not well studied. The aims of this proposal are designed to understand gene regulation by estrogen, and to understand why there are different biological effects of estrogen in different tissues, which is of key importance for anti-estrogen and estrogen deprivation therapies for patients with breast cancer. Estrogen is known to promote growth in mammary epithelial cells, but to cause apoptosis in osteoclasts. While this phenomenon has been noted for years, the mechanistic basis of this difference is not understood. My first aim is to determine how apoptosis is occurring in osteoclasts in response to estrogen, and to specifically look at which pathways are involved, including which caspases are activated. Secondly, I propose to look at the pattern of gene regulation by estrogen in osteoblasts, osteoclasts and mammary cells by microarrays and chromatin immunoprecipitations. My third aim is to develop a mouse model of oncolytic metastasis using an AIB1 transgenic mouse developed in my laboratory. Taken together these experiments will provide valuable information for the treatment of breast cancer (including oncolytic metastasis) and osteoporosis.
Lay Abstract:
Breast cancer will affect one in eight women during their lifetime. A large percentage of breast cancers depend on the presence of estrogen to grow, and are classified as "estrogen receptor positive". Thus, women are treated with drugs that block estrogen from working or lower estrogen levels, to prevent the tumor from growing. However, estrogen is necessary for the prevention of osteoporosis, among other functions. Normal bone is maintained by a balance of bone forming cells (osteoblasts) and bone destroying cells (osteoclasts). Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between bone formation and bone destruction. It is imperative to understand how the same hormone, estrogen, can cause some cells (breast cells) to grow and some cells (osteoclasts) to die. We hypothesize that there are tissue-specific factors that account for the differences in the expression of certain estrogen-regulated genes in bone and breast tissue. The experiments described herein are designed to explore the mechanism of how/why osteoclasts die in the presence of estrogen and to determine what genes are "turned on or off" by estrogen in the bone, but not in the breast. Furthermore, we will attempt to determine how breast cancer metastases degrade bone. In over 70% of advanced breast cancers there is metastasis to the bone, causing extreme pain, fractures and other problems. Very few models exist to study bone metastasis in mice, and therefore we propose to establish a mouse model to study breast cancer metastasis to bone. By understanding the biology of estrogen, in addition to establishing a metastasis model described in this proposal, we will be able to better treat women with breast cancer by understanding drug therapies and preventing metastasis.

I was sitting with Scott Wittman, too, who directed the whole thing and I told him how much I loved it. At the end of the show, Patti performs a request taken from Twitter. She asked for "Ronnie," who requested "As Long As He Needs Me." She asked him to raise his hand, but he wasn't there. Then a woman, whose name was Ronnie but that wasn't the requester, piped up. Patti asked what she requested and she named some obscure song called "Baby Loves Me." Patti asked what that was. The woman told her that it was once a hit in England (?!). Patti said, "What makes you think I sing that song?" The woman said, "I know you don't sing it, but I thought you'd sound great on it." Patti was hilarious and told her "That's actually not a request. It's a suggestion." Brava! Patti then performed "As Long As He Needs Me" and sang the whole last phrase without a breath. In other words, "As long as he-e-e-e-e ne-e-e-e-e-eds me-e-e-e-e!" It was so good! I met with her the next day to rehearse our show for Provincetown and asked her about her amazing breath control. She said she's always had it and that when she was at Juilliard, the whole acting company had to get x-rays to see what kind of breath capability they had. The doctor looked at her lungs and told her she could be an opera singer. I wasn't surprised but couldn't get past the part where her acting class was forced to have their chests x-rayed. "OK, people! We're starting the morning with warm-ups, then trust games and, after lunch, MRI's!"

Patti was talking with me about being short (she's 5-foot-2) but on Tony night she told me she was like a giantess because she was joined by two other Evitas who are shorter than she is! She, Elaine Paige and Elena Roger were all chatting — and Patti was essentially the Tommy Tune of Evitas. Jackie Hoffman was in the audience at Patti's show and I was chatting with her director (and my old friend) Michael Schiralli. We were laughing because Jackie was the first performer at 54 Below, but all the press said that the room was opening with Patti LuPone. Jackie's show started with a recording of a supposed phone conversation between the owners of 54 Below. One of them mentioned how excited he was that Patti LuPone was going to open the room. The other one said, "What? We can't have a performer of that stature perform here without testing it first. What about the sound? What about the air quality? We need someone so desperate and so low on the celebrity totem pole that she'll try out the room before an actual star does." Then, "Ladies and gentleman, Jackie Hoffman!"
Andrea Martin is still feeling sick so we've postponed our 54 Below show and Patti is extending (54below.com). You must go see her! And then come see us at the Art House in the beginning of July. Go to PtownArtHouse.com for tix.

Easy Beer Batter Recipe
Apr 5, 2012 2:45 pm
Beer is the key to a light, crispy batter recipe
There are two important reasons beer batter is called beer batter, the obvious one being that it contains almost as much beer as flour. The second is that anything you batter and fry with it automatically pairs well with a pint of suds. Need a third reason? This recipe is so easy you could whip up a batch after 10 pints of suds.
While fish fillets are most commonly associated with this concoction, remember the last time you had fried pickle chips? You don't have to say it was at Hooter's, we already know. This batter recipe makes it possible to recreate most of that experience in the sanitized comfort of your own kitchen.
Servings: 2 cups batter (enough for about 1 1/2 pounds of fish)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bottle beer of your choice (ales work very well)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Combine flour and pepper in a large bowl.
- Slowly pour in beer, whisking constantly until smooth.
- Dip food in batter, allow excess to drip back into bowl and drop directly into deep-fryer.
- Fry for 2 minutes or until dark golden brown, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or newspaper.
- Serve with homemade tartar sauce.
