POTTSTOWN Ś Neither Rayanna Ramsey nor Megan OÆDonnell could recall the exact date or the final score, just that they were freshmen when Pottstown defeated Reading High School for a non-league win in 2010.
ōOh, I remember it,ö Ramsey said.
ōI remember it well, too,ö OÆDonnell added.
They remember because it was the only win theyÆve been part of in their high school careers Ś until last Saturday. Neither was able to hide a childlike smile while talking about it during a practice last week.
All around Ramsey and OÆDonnell Ś co-captains and the only seniors on yet another understaffed Pottstown softball roster this spring ¢ there was so much energy, a noticeable liveliness among their teammates during infield and outfield practice at Memorial Park. Maybe it was a sign of things to come, as just a few days later, Pottstown posted an 18-8 win over visiting Wymossing, the TrojansÆ second win in four years.
ōWeÆre not losers, we just lose games,ö said first-year head coach Dot McCrone. ōThese girls have an awesome attitude.ö
ōYou wouldnÆt believe how many coaches and parents from other teams come up to us and say how impressed they are with our girlsÆ positive attitude,ö added first-year assistant coach Beth Yoder, McCroneÆs younger sister.
ThatÆs high praise for a Pottstown team that doesnÆt often get to play more than three or four innings because of the 15-run rule. ItÆs a tribute to the players who have had to adjust to three different coaches the past four seasons, who have had to endure practices and games on as many as four different fields due to renovations at the high school field and the availability at Memorial Park, the Maple Street Field and Novak Field.
ōOur attitude is great, but itÆs been very frustrating,ö Ramsey admitted. ōWe seem to have a different coach every year or two, and it is hard to adjust to every one of them. We feel some of the coaches gave up on us.ö
ōThere just hasnÆt been any consistency,ö OÆDonnell said of the coaching carousel. ōItÆs tough trying to get used to (each coachÆs) approach. TheyÆre all different.ö
* * *
What really is different about Pottstown softball is the lack of experience ģ and basic knowledge of the game.
ōI think if you look around at nearly every team we go up against, they have girls who have been playing for a long time,ö McCrone said. ōThey were part of youth programs, middle school programs. And most of the girls on their teams play travel ball all through the summer now, too.ö
The number of Pottstown girls participating in youth programs has diminished drastically in recent years, and there is no Pottstown Middle School softball program.
More shocking is the fact that 12 of the 17 girls on this seasonÆs team never played softball before the first day of practice back on March 3.
ōWe only had four girls back from last yearÆs team,ö McCrone explained. ōSo we talked to girls in school, asked them what they were doing this spring. We were looking to find athletes.ö
Ramsey, OÆDonnell, junior Jade Yingling and sophomores Miranda Swinehart and Brianna Gribble were the lone returnees. McCrone and Yoder were able to recruit junior Leanne Strauss and sophomores Terri Chestnut and Kylie Kinckner, who played basketball; and sophomore Aris Cambers, who played field hockey. They were also successful in generating enough interest to fill the remainder of the roster with junior Sherelle Bernard; sophomores Brigette Mundo, Lexi Volinski, Khaliah Kirtz, Bryanna Ramos and Carolina Tamayo-Quintero; and freshmen Autumn Kummerer and Kelly OÆDonnell.
ōI think the most frustrating thing when I took over as the coach was that the girls didnÆt have the basic skills,ö McCrone explained. ōThey didnÆt know the basics, the fundamentals.
ōWeÆre used to seeing girls who have been playing from early on. In our first scrimmage, our first two girls went up to bat and stood on the plate. They just didnÆt know how to do much of anything. We were teaching them how to throw, how to run, how to catch ģ it was basically like coaching little league.ö
ōWe spent a lot of time in the gym just talking about the game, how to play the game,ö Yoder said. ōWeÆre still doing that.ö
* * *
McCrone and Yoder arenÆt the type to complain, but they are the type willing to work harder than most. That was enough to convince OÆDonnellÆs younger sister to come out for the team despite the programÆs seemingly endless woes.
ōI love softball, love the sport,ö said the 15-year-old Kelly OÆDonnell, who started playing in T-ball and continued in little league softball and baseball. ōBut I was thinking of not coming out for the team at first. IÆm glad I did come out, though, because I really like it.
ōIÆm not concerned (about the losses), not as long as everyone works hard. This team likes to play, likes to work hard. We all come out every day to play.ö
Her older sister has noticed that, too.
ōWhen we started this year I said, æHere we go again, just four or five experienced players,Æö Megan OÆDonnell explained. ōBut itÆs been this way since my first day at Pottstown. It is what it is, but we all try to stay positive.
ōAll the girls here are always trying, always putting the effort in, and you canÆt ask for more than that. In the beginning, (losing) really bothered me. But I look at how we have improved, where we are now. All the hard work is paying off.ö
Not in the win-loss column, of course.
But the game is much more than that for a lot of the Trojans.
ōI love the game of softball, but sometimes it is hard to play here,ö said Ramsey, who will attend Alvernia College in the fall. ōBut it would be harder not to play. And the attitude here is great.ö
ōWe have had a lot of coaches,ö added Megan OÆDonnell, who will attend St. JosephÆs University in the fall. ōBut I think our coaches now have the best philosophy of any of them. They want us to have fun and do our best at all times ģ and I think weÆre doing that.ö
ōThereÆs still some frustration, especially among our seniors,ö McCrone said at last weekÆs practice. ōThey still work hard and have that great attitude. They just want to win ģ thatÆs all.ö
* * *
And then it happened.
Saturday afternoon, it all came together for Pottstown. The Trojans scored 15 unanswered runs over the fourth and fifth innings to knock off visiting Wyomissing, 18-8, for their long-sought first win since 2010.
Kelly OÆDonnell went 2-for-2 with two doubles, Megan OÆDonnell and Volinski each went 2-for-2, Terri Chestnut was 2-for-3 and Miranda Swinehart was 2-for-4 with a double.
ōOh my god, weÆre just so excited for them, especially the seniors,ö McCrone said. ōThese girls have heart and awesome attitudes, and weÆre having fun coaching them. We hit the ball well and made some great catches. The excitement after the game was great.ö

The depth of the FC Dallas midfield will be immediately tested for the next three weeks as FCD will be without Brek Shea and Carlos Rodriguez(CR will be available for this weekend's game) while Fabian Castillo nurses a slight injury. With three big games coming up against Portland, Kansas City and DC United, lets take a look at how Schellas Hyndman will cope with some important absences on a game by game basis.
Vs Portland
Schellas actually shouldn't have too tough of a decision on Saturday night against Portland Timbers. Look for Hyndman to start Panamanian Carlos Rodriguez at left midfield while Fabian Castillo should win a race to fitness in time for Saturday's match. The coach said there was an MRI that showed no damage and it's up to Castillo's pain tolerance. Gotta think he doesn't leave Schellas out to dry on Saturday in Frisco. You're looking at Andrew Wiedeman and possibly Bryan Leyva as wing options off the bench and there's not really much past that. It gets tricky next Sunday...
See what the options are against Kansas City & DC United
At Sporting Kansas City & DC
Schellas will be without both Brek Shea and Carlos Rodriguez for these matches, but you've got to think David Ferreira returns by then. That will allow Ricardo Villar to fill in on one of the wings and while it's not an ideal situation as Villar is clearly better in a central role, it's at least a passable option and you just hope and pray Fabian Castillo can remain healthy. FCD will be one injury away from a start for Andrew Wiedeman, however, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
As you can see, the options get pretty thin, but the options got pretty thin for the New York Knicks which forced Jeremy Lin onto the court, so these situations can be a blessing in disguise that helps you learn something about a player that may not have previously gotten much time to prove himself.

A thorough and thoughtful employer will take as much time as necessary to evaluate a potential new hire. In the interview process, that might mean a series of meetings with top management people, some interaction with the staff and possibly lunch.
That could mean spending three hours or longer with a person called in for an interview. But sometimes that means about two hours and about 50 minutes might be a waste of time.
A survey by Accountemps, a job placement service that is part of Robert Hall International, found that most employers, 60 percent in fact, have finalized their opinions about an applicant, whether negative or positive, in 10 minutes or less. For 16 percent of them, it took only five minutes.
Only a small fraction said they needed a half-hour to decide whether they want to hire someone. Accountemps did phone interviews with some 500 human resources managers, all at firms with 20 employees or more.
With the clock running, that means applicants are under the gun. Folks invited to an interview need firm handshakes, an agreeable demeanor, eye contact and at least 10 minutes worth of solid, stand-up answers to interviewers' questions.

Growler from the brewery.
Pours a hazy light gold, decent head at first, though not much after. Tiny bit of lacing. Growler pour...
The aroma is quite nice, acidic and tart, with a funky, citrusy character, like a mellow Gueuze. Almost sour, but not quite.
The flavor is not nearly as acidic as the aroma would indicate. More refreshing and tart, with an earthy, rindy character in the back. Wheaty hay flavors give way to a clean, crisp finish. The mouthfeel is light, could use a bit more carb, though I won't judge it too harshly since it's a growler pour.
Good stuff here, much better than I expected. A fresh quencher with a nice little kick.

3.6/5 rDev -0.6%
Thanks to beerloco for sending this my way somewhat unexpectedly. Served in a Bell's tulip.
A - Quick-dissolving white foam that sizzles to nothing, nada, zilch. Hazy semi-transparent apricot body.
S - Smells like a Berliner alright. Sharp wheat, lactic acidity, slight sulfur, some lemon and stone fruits, and a hint of alcohol that was slightly unexpected but betrayed the higher ABV.
T - Taste is unfortunately not as pleasant. Seems too sweet for the style, with a hefty dose of malted wheat, stone fruits, and a yeast finish. Not very sour either - drinks more like tripel in some ways. Not unpleasant, but not very true to style.
M - Low carbonation, surprisingly hefty medium body. Too big for the style, but sufficiently ample for the ABV. A bit too sticky, with only mild grain character.
D - This was quite easy to drink, but beyond the aroma it wasn't a particularly successful take on the style. Better than the New Belgium and White Birch takes on the style, but pretty far behind the better German offerings and the sublime Southampton offering. A few of us easily polished off the 1L growler, but I wouldn't seek this one out again.

3.13/5 rDev -13.5%
A - Cloudy straw yellow colored beer with a slight head that you'd miss if you blinked. No stick on the sides.
S - Some sweet tartness, smells a little bit like pez. Little bit of butter and slight bit of phenolic yeast.
T - Doesn't really taste much like it smells. A bit more phenol and harsh yeast. Pretty sweet, the heavy sweetness loses a lot of what makes a good berliner weisse good.
M - A little syrupy, very low carbonation. Lighter side of medium bodied.
O - Not particularly great for the style, and not something I really would care to have again.

text: (Watson, IL) -- There's a growing memorial on the lawn outside Willow Long's home in Watson. The seven-year-old was found dead late Tuesday night after walking off from her home Sunday morning. Her mom had laid down with a headache when Willow disappeared. Her uncle, Justin Deryke, is suspected of killing the youngster. First-degree murder charges are expected to be filed against the 22-year-old later today. An autopsy will determine how Willow was killed. Her body was discovered near the Little Wabash River, south of Watson.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - For the past 83 Thanksgiving mornings thousands of people march down the streets of New York city as part of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Lubbock Dance Gallery received an invitation for five of their dancers to fly to New York to dance in this year's festivities.
"It's a memory for a life time. These girls are going to be telling their children and their grandchildren that they danced and marched in the parade in New York City," said dance teacher Carla McNeal.
For Amanda Casey this is nothing new. It's her 2nd time to dance in the parade. "I'm so excited to be going again and New York is one of my favorite places. To be in the Macy's Day Parade is just a cherry on top," said Casey.
Her friends Kennedi Ross, Ellen Wilkerson, Lezli Anderson, and Lauren Payne will join Casey on the trip. For about 10 years, each girl has spent hours practicing at Dance Gallery, and the parade is just one more way to show their talent. "Preparing for the Macy's Day Parade is almost like preparing for any other audition you have to just prepare yourself as much as you can technically and physically. You can work out as much as you need to and just really advance your technique," said Casey.
Other dancers from all over the nation will join the Lubbock girls for the performance. "Different girls will just be beside you and you're going to make friendships that last a life time," said Casey. The girls are now in New York where they will practice with the rest of the dancers for the next five days to make one of America's great Thanksgiving traditions magical.

Property taxes in Slippery Rock are going up next year, when residents can also expect a potentially extensive traffic study of borough streets.
The 2013 budget of $1,165,806 was unanimously approved Tuesday. Council Vice President Christy Tichy was absent.
Real estate taxes will be 21.875 mills, an increase of 2 mills from this year's rate of 19.875.
Taxes last went up by 1.5 mills in 2004; one mill brings the borough $19,509.
Council previously decided the tax hike was needed to cover the $40,000 cost of hiring a full-time patrolman for the short-staffed police department. They also plan to hire a few part-timers.
The only public comment Tuesday came from resident Bob McComas, who asked council to not include a $1,000 allocation in the budget for Slippery Rock in Bloom.
It's not appropriate for the borough to give money to a service club, he said.
Council in November had questioned whether it was legal to earmark funds for Slippery Rock in Bloom, a non-profit organization that works to beautify the borough.
They're still waiting on some legal advice, and council member Royce Lorentz said the borough doesn't have to spend that $1,000 if it isn't allowed to go to Slippery Rock in Bloom.
Council had several lengthy discussions at past meetings about contributing to non-profits and decided to give $3,000 to the Slippery Rock Community Library, a $2,000 increase over this year to help with its $400,000 goal to build a new facility.
The Slippery Rock Volunteer Fire Company will receive $23,000, about $1,200 more than this year. The department is also raising money for a new building but borough funds go toward general operating costs.
In other business, council is planning for a borough-wide street study and they are preparing to put together a proposal for the borough engineer on what roads they'd like to see improved.
Council member Itzi Meztli said he's concerned about the traffic flow in the neighborhoods surrounding Slippery Rock University, especially because of one-way streets and areas where sight distance is poor.
Councilor Ron Steele, also president of the fire company, said he's noticed a lot of traffic jams at Main Street and Kiester Road and that emergency vehicles also need to be considered in the study.
Lorentz and Meztli agreed council needs to pin down the cost of a traffic study before telling the engineer what streets they want examined.
Council President Dave Miller cautioned this kind of study has to be a "precursor for action," not just data to have on hand.
Council should also have some suggested changes at the ready to go along with the list of problems they identify, like whether certain one-way streets should be changed to two-way, he said.
"We need to specify the outcomes with desires," Lorentz said.
A major concern is maintaining traffic flow to get people in and out of town in a timely manner, council member Jerry Heller said, with Mayor Ken Harris adding some of that might be resolved when SRU opens a new entrance to campus on Innovation Drive.
Maybe some streets need widened because they were originally designed for horse and buggy traffic, making turns difficult for large vehicles, Steele said.
"It doesn't make much sense now," he said.
Council meets next at 7 p.m. Jan. 8, when they're expected to form a traffic study committee and decide what roads they'd like to see studied.

ANDERSON, Ind. —
It isn't unusual for large cities like Indianapolis to have several public information officers. They might work for the mayor, or in key departments handling media inquiries, or manage the content of government websites.
Although a team of communication specialists to handle those duties isn't necessary in cities the size of Anderson or Elwood, there nevertheless is a need to have someone on staff to communicate with the public, officials in both communities said in interviews last week.
Charlee Turner filled the role for Mayor Kevin Smith until she left the position last week to pursue career opportunities out of state. Smith said Friday that he is reviewing candidates to fill the position.
But Turner's departure raises questions about whether such a position is vital amid declining property tax revenue and the layoff of city park employees and firefighters last year and this.
The salary range for the public information is listed from $41,823 to $60,606 annually, according to the Anderson City Clerk. Turner's salary was at the low end of that scale.
"The value of that position for a place like Anderson is that we have so many projects and activities that city government is involved with," Smith said.
He said the city needs an employee to fulfill the mission of providing accurate and honest information about city government.
"We have been elected to change the direction of the city," Smith said. "It's important to have people working with you that understand what those goals are and to help inform the public of your progress.
"If anything, the job of public information officer has grown much more complicated than it was 20 years ago because of the changes and growth of information sources we as citizens have access to," Smith added.
In her role as Anderson's public information officer, Turner also worked on special projects, such as revitalizing the Mayor's Youth Commission, and was assisting an outside vendor with creating a new city website.
When Ron Arnold took office as mayor of Elwood in 2012, he asked long-time associate Jeff Howe to assist him with public information in the city. Howe isn't a full-time employee, but a contractor who's paid $2,500 per month to handle public information duties, and an additional $250 per month to produce a monthly newsletter sent out in city utility bills.
Although his role in Elwood includes handling press inquiries, Howe said a lot of the work he does for the city has occurred behind the scenes, helping the heads of city departments coordinate their communication.
Because he has a background in radio and television production as well as traditional communications work, Howe said one of his goals has been to raise the visibility of Elwood throughout Indiana and globally.
During the severe flooding in Elwood in early spring, many people were following live feeds on the city Facebook page, to stay informed about where the most serious problem areas were.
In addition, he said that with a presence on Facebook and the Internet, Elwood has been able to attract interest from global companies that are interested in expanding their business.
One of the programs he began in concert with a local businessman is a weekly Internet-based program with the mayor, department heads and other community leaders where important community issues are discussed.
Friday, that program was held via Skype while Arnold is on a trade mission in Japan with Gov. Mike Pence and Indiana economic development officials.
"Now more than ever before, cities and towns need someone on staff who knows how to communicate," using the latest technology, Howe said.

Delayed baubles put on Sutton High Street's Christmas after wind-related delay
2:00pm Saturday 1st December 2012 in News By Mike Murphy-Pyle, Chief Reporter
Sutton's Christmas tree finally has its baubles after decorating it was delayed due to high winds last weekend.
Shoppers said the tree in the High Street was embarrassing because it only had a string of white lights on it for most of this week. Some thought the baubles might have been shelved in council cutbacks but they were proved wrong when they went up on Wednesday.
The lights were turned on last week but other decorations were conspicuous by their absence. Sutton Council said the lack of decorations was because it was too dangerous to use a cherry-picker to put them up in the high winds.

Tom Menino: Meddling While Boston Burns
HOMICIDES ARE DIFFERENT NOW. They're predicated on the slightest of slights. Historically, however, murders in this city were tied to gangs dealing drugs. And nobody used to get shot unless what they did harmed the bottom line. "If it wasn't about dollars," Vito Gray, a reformed Mission Hill drug lord, once told me, "it didn't make no sense."
But this isn't to say that the underworld acted orderly every day. In 1992, at the funeral service in Mattapan for a young man named Robert Odom, hooded members of a rival gang burst through the doors midservice, shot up the church, and stabbed one teen nine times. The attack horrified the city. Out of that day, though, came Boston's redemption. An elite force of cops, overseen by Commissioner Paul Evans and organized in part by officer Gary French, concerned themselves with the social issues underlying much of gang involvement: looking at the home life of kids, and keeping track of what they did after school. Religious leaders unified under a new name, the Ten Point Coalition, and did the same kind of social work — finding gangbangers legitimate jobs, for instance. Prosecutors, meanwhile, locked up repeat-offender gang leaders. One got 19 years in prison after he taunted cops by showing them a bullet he held in his hand. Collectively, these works organized around a single community-policing vision: that together the group could not only detect crime as it was happening, but also deter it from happening at all.
It worked. The Boston Miracle sent the murder rate plunging to almost absurd levels and removed top-level criminals from the streets. If anything, the Miracle was too effective. After 2000, with few old-school gang leaders around, the mindset of Boston gangs began to change. No one taught the new guys how to act: The same kids who lacked leadership models in their biological families found no supervision within their surrogate ones, either. And so the murders of the new century began to break the street's old codes. Hits happened with no regard for the bottom line. Instead these gang members, teenagers and young adults, had petty beefs with one another, and settled them in predictably immature and deadly ways — sometimes in broad daylight, around people of means.
Compounding matters, many of Boston's community-policing stars had moved on: Prosecutors had been promoted or, like former Suffolk County DA Ralph C. Martin II, had gone into private practice; cops like Gary French had received commendations and now headed up new units, or, like Commissioner Evans, had left the department for new jobs (in Evans's case, a law-enforcement gig in London). In other words, another leadership vacuum had developed — on the law-and-order side.
As a result, chaos once again reigned. Boston had grisly, even strange deaths: a quadruple murder of four Wakefield High graduates, shot execution-style in the basement of a Dorchester home in which none of them lived. The murder total climbed from 42 in 2003 to 64 in 2004 to 75 in 2005 — a 142 percent increase from 1999. All the while the cops, especially those back at headquarters, fought with one another, ever more publicly, as if blame could slow the rising stats. Boston seemed on the precipice of another degeneration.

A Nice UTEP-Marshall Game Preview From the Charleston Gazette
This article shows just how much respect and competition there is in Conference USA. Much of it praises the senior led group of the Miners, and the problems that they pose. Here in El Paso its pretty much the same. We know just how dangerous a team the Herd are, and anyone who thinks this game will be easy is a fool. It seems as though its the same story every week. There are just so many teams that can play, and its never easy. Good read.

3.33/5 rDev +9.2%
On-tap at Rattle n' Hum, New York, NY
A: The beer is clear yellow in color with some hints of amber hues and no visible carbonation. It poured with a thin off white head that eventually completely faded away.
S: There are moderately strong aromas of apricots in the nose, similar to what you would get if you sniffed a jar of apricot preserves.
T: The taste prominently features flavors of apricots without any associated sweetness. No wheat is detectable.
M: It feels light-bodied on the palate and has a low to moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer seems a little one-dimensional with all of the apricot flavors, but is easy to drink, especially for a novice craft beer drinker that likes things that are fruity.

Burnished brassy gold, not nearly orange enough to be considered apricot. The head is the color of week old newspaper and is too airysoft to hang around very long or to leave much lace. The beer itself looks decent, but the cap is of poor quality.
I smelled apricots as soon as the first ounce of beer splashed into the glass. I was impressed with the natural blueberry aroma of Sea Dog Blue Paw Wheat and I'm no less impressed with this one. Even though apricots are far from my favorite fruit, I recognize a good fruit beer nose when I smell one. It's freshly fruity and a trifle wheaty while still being recognizable as beer.
The flavor is of lesser quality than the nose, but is still acceptably good. Like Blue Paw, there's very little wheat ale character to the beer. Using a hefty quantity of wheat is, no doubt, simply a means of keeping the flavor contribution from malt at a minimum in order to allow the fruitiness to shine. It's also a way to keep the body light and summery.
Part of the reason why I'm not overly thrilled with Apricot Wheat is, again, my lack of love for apricots. There's nothing inherently wrong with the natural fruit flavor though and if you're an apricot lover, this should be a more than enjoyable beer. Even though I don't appreciate hops per se, there is a nice, balancing bitterness that is especially noted on the lightly crisp finish.
The body/mouthfeel isn't as soft as it is in many wheat ales. It is, however, light-medium and is carbonated enough to fit the blueprint for easy drinking summer beer. I can't imagine that anyone who likes the flavor will have much problem with the mouthfeel.
I have a feeling that this beer uses the exact same wheat ale base as Blue Paw does, simply substituting apricots for blueberries. There's nothing wrong with that since both are decent, drinkable examples of the style. If I was a Maineiac, I doubt that I'd buy Apricot Wheat all that often, if at all, but this bottle was enjoyable enough.

Appearance: Pours a clear(!) golden color with a head whose bubbles disappear as if it were a ginger ale rather than a wheat
Smell: Distinctively apricot, but smells very artificial; almost floral
Taste: A mouthful of artificial apricot from start to finish; little wheat bear character; more like an alcopop
Mouthfeel: Light and fizzy
Drinakability: Not at all enjoyable, and I kind of like certain fruit beers

2.83/5 rDev -7.2%
Appearance: Pours a clear, dark gold body with a small-sized, white head.
Smell: A scent of apricot flavoring with a distant, far off note or two of tangy wheat.
Taste: Lightly tangy, lightly sweet wheat malt. Fruit flavoring added provides an apricot taste. Just a touch of bitterness, though no appreciably hop flavors. Dry, thinning finish with a lingering taste of apricots. Eh, it's a fruit beer.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A fruity beer that's not too fruity, if you know what I mean. There's enough beer underneath to remind you you're not just drinking a spiked cup of fruit juice. Still though, it's pretty far down on the list of fruit beers for me.

This brew isn't too bad. It poured out with a typical hazy glden color, much like more wheat ales. The head was foamy and white. The smell of the beer had a pretty good amount of apricot on the nose. The taste of the beer was sweet, fruity, had a little bit of tartness in there too, and a slight creaminess also. The mouthfeel of this beer I thought was pretty good, pretty refreshing in the summer time. Overall this brew wasn't the worst I've ever had but no where near the best either. I would probably drink it again if I had too.

Bought this for the wife but I wound up drinking it,poured a clear light golden with a decent one finger white head that is gone pretty quickly.Artificial apricot and big sweetness in the nose not much else to be had maybe a bit of toastiness.Real cloying on the palate apricot flavor is there in a big overly sweet form nothing els can cut thru the sweetness there.The sweet flavors are overbearing it might be good for a non beer drinker but the sweetness was just to much for me.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a light yellow color, with a thin white head that fades quickly and leaves a very thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is full of apricots along with some wheat, light malts and a faint touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out sweet with flavors of apricots and citrus up front. Then some breadiness comes in from flavors of wheat and a thin malt character. The hops presence is very mild and there is not much balance. The after-taste is likewise sweet.
M: Crisp and a little smooth, light-to-medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
D: A little tasty if you're into the apricot flavor, goes down ok, not too filling, very mild kick, decent representation of style, overall it's just not a very good beer.

12oz brown twist off bottle with a "Best Enjoyed Before" freshness date on the label.
A- Crystal clear walnut stain color, quick to froth but quicker to dissipate into nothing. Almost looks like a wine-cooler.
S- Apricot hard candy, faint grain in the back. Sterile ... uneventful aroma.
T&M- Light refreshing crispness, light bodied. Basic fruit flavor of apricot on top of a bland beer base. Finishes dry with only a memory of the fruit and a slight astringent grain.
D- Bartles & Jaymes anyone? Boring, just an other bland fruit beer. They must of broken out the cookie cutter for this one. What is the next flavor of the week going to be? FYI, Apricot is so yesterday.

BBD of Jan 08, picked this up on a whim, let's see how it rolls:
Pours a spritzy golden with 3+ fingers of white head. Zero head retention & lacing
S: Fruit juice (apricot & peach juice), maybe a hint of honey & not much else
T: Peach & apricot juice with some metallic twang up front. Slight lemon notes. Finishes a bit dry with too much juice
MF: Slick with thin/medium body & low/zero carbonation
This is a one & done, just tastes like juice with a splash of beer spilled into it, possibly one of the worst beers I've had in a year or so

The beer pours a pale gold color with a 1/2" white head that fades to spotty lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a light golden ale scent with loads of apricot essence. The apricot aroma is bold, but refreshing. The taste is a real letdown. It doesn't have the taste that the aroma suggests. It's light and crisp, with a slight apricot finish. It tastes watery and devoid of character. The mouthfeel is decent. It is a low bodied beer with good carbonation. This is an average fruit beer. It has good aroma, but the taste is really lacking. It's one and done for me.

Pours golden amber with a thin white head that fizzles away. Very active carbonation makes vanishing small patches appear.
The smell of apricot is very strong. Only other aroma is a perfumy touch.
The taste is of apricot juice/syrup with the slightest touch of wheat tang. Sweet - a bit perfumy. Thin finish. Aftertaste akin to apricot-flavored Pop-Tarts (if there is such a thing.)
The feel is watery and fizzy.
This is a mediocre American fruit wheat beer (at best).

Modest, but sustaining, head. Leaves no lasting lace. Crystal clear liquid of slightly tarnished gold.
Sweet candy-like apricot smell. Very dessert like. Like a fruit lambic without the sourness.
This might be a good dessert beer. It definitely would go well with strong cheese. In short, this is a specialty beer that will work well in specific situations. I would not drink this regularly; it is far too sweet. But as a counterpoint to spicy/salty food, I think it works nicely. So, I say buy a single and serve it with some elegant cheese course and tell people you paired this up especially for them. You might just pull it off.

Swing and a miss here. Tastes like sort of apricot juice/soda mixture which isn't a good thing to be thinking while drinking a beer. Just tastes way too fake and reminds me of a terrible Magic Hat #9 (really makes you appreciate good beers like that after this one). Steer clear of this guy.

Pours a real lazy tiny white ring of barley a fraction of a white head. Lots of elevator carbonation bubbles from the bottom of a solid butter gold color. Clear, but no lacing.
Smell is a straight up gummi bears with virtually no real fruit smell to detect. There is a faint rind of something apricot like but it smells syrupy and chemically.
Taste improves slightly with a realistic fruit forward and small chew consistency. Surprisingly the beer had some body and a good finish that isn't too wet either.
I could have another I suppose but not to crazy about the smell and look on this one.

A: Poured a dirty peach color with a small quickly dissipating white head.
S: sugary sweet and fruity with artificial apricots dominating.
T: The initial flavor was much the same, sweet, fruity apricots with light creamy wheat. The flavor was crisp and clean ending abruptly.
M: thin and heavily carbonated with a fizzy seltzer/wine cooler feel.
D: Drinkability was average at best, one that would most likely appeal to the young wine cooler crowd more then the fine craft drinker.

Well, there's no mistaking this for what it is. A light bodied beer with apricot syrup added. It's easy to drink and refreshing but you will definitely notice the syrupy qualities. If you enjoy apricots this is worth a try.

Yellow beer with no signs of apricot in it, very thin white head that immediately leaves this realm. Smells of apricot and sugar.
Apricot and cereal flavors, with added sugar in the taste. Not terrible, but tastes so unlike just straight up apricot the fruit. Can't finish dry or clean, that sugary kids cereal mouthfeel just hangs on throughout the beer. Not my cup of tea, like most of the Sea Dog offerings, this one is just a straight up unitiated chick beer.

Port? Seems to be a port of the iPhone app, runs letterboxed on Droid Bionic (with black bars on three sides), no use of Droid-specific buttons. It's not bad, I just expected more polish for the price. At least fill the screen up.
I'm still playing this after a year, where other games have been long deleted. (Angry birds among them.) Should say something.
It is not full screan on XPERIA X10
Does not fill the screen on the atrix 4G :( Love the game on my nexus one.
5 when you can move to SD.
This game is so simple. move all orbs to any side too beat any level.
Awesome game works perfectly droid x
Makes noise even when muted, part of screen not used but displays randomly, lines and points randomly change colors. Love the gameplay, but refunded.
not worth the price.
Fun but overpriced imo

The Report by Kanishkaa Balachandran
December 30, 2012
Pakistan 228 for 4 (Jamshed 101*, Younis 58) beat India 227 for 6 (Dhoni 113*, Raina 43, Junaid 4-43) by six wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details

Players/Officials: MS Dhoni | Junaid Khan | Nasir Jamshed
Matches: India v Pakistan at Chennai
Series/Tournaments: Pakistan tour of India
Fortunes swung in an absorbing opening one-dayer, but it was Pakistan who held their nerve to record a six-wicket win and go one-up in Chennai. Junaid Khan had India reeling with a remarkable spell of swing bowling, MS Dhoni bailed India out with a tenacious, unbeaten century but the target of 228 wasn't enough to test Pakistan. Nasir Jamshed played a composed, yet chancy century, but nevertheless took the responsibility of finishing the job he had started.
The difference was in the way the teams batted against the new ball. India were put in and ended up losing five for 29 by the tenth over. Dhoni toiled masterfully, fighting off cramps to take India to a respectable total, but not quite a winning one. Pakistan too looked shaky when they came out against the moving ball, but ensured they didn't lose wickets in a clump early, unlike India.
The morning had ingredients you wouldn't normally associate with one-day cricket in India - morning start, overcast conditions, a green pitch, moisture. The left-arm seam duo of Junaid and Mohammad Irfan hit the timber with such regularity that they might well have come out wielding axes rather than cricket balls. Reputations counted for nothing as India's top order was exposed for their lack of technique against the moving ball against two seamers with a combined experience of 15 ODIs.
Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh were all bowled, playing down the wrong line to full, swinging deliveries. Dhoni and Suresh Raina came together at 29 for 5 and focused on picking up singles rather than counterattacking their way to a recovery.
The innings could have finished earlier had Misbah not put down Dhoni at midwicket on 16. The drop was to cost Pakistan 97 runs. The boundaries had dried up during an attritional phase in which only two boundaries were scored in the space of nearly 30 overs.
Smart stats
Dhoni's innings was of two contrasting parts. He nudged and poked his way to 50 off 86 balls, hitting just two boundaries and a six. The plan was to delay the slog till the final block of ten overs. His next 63 came off just 39 balls. As the innings closed, Dhoni could barely stand. In a bid to conserve energy, Dhoni focused on hitting out and it was a blessing in disguise for India as he regularly found the gaps, helping India ransack an unlikely 81 off the last 10 overs.
Dhoni bashed the free hit off Junaid over wide long-on for the first six of the innings, launched Ajmal out of the ground over long-on and brought up his century with a six over extra cover. His stand of 125 with Ashwin was India's highest for the seventh wicket. Dhoni's march towards his century featured an array of shots on both sides of the wicket, including the helicopter shot, the pull and the squirt past gully.
India held control at the start of the innings when Mohammad Hafeez misjudged a viscious inswinger and lost his off stump, giving Bhuvneshwar Kumar a wicket off his first ball in ODIs. Bhuvneshwar dismissed a shaky Azhar Ali cheaply to reduce Pakistan to 21 for 2 after 10.2 overs. Thereafter, the initiative slipped from India due to a combination of bad luck and poor fielding.
Jamshed was let off thrice in his innings, on 7, 24 and 68. He first set off for a single that should never have happened, scampered back but there was nobody to back Bhuvneshwar's throw. He was then let off by the umpire, who failed to spot an inside edge to the pads on its way to slip. Later, Yuvraj spilled a sitter at point at a time when India were desperate for a wicket.
In between, Jamshed impressed with his temperament and it helped that he had the experienced Younis Khan to guide him. The pair focused on preserving wickets, preferring to keep with the asking rate rather than exceed it. Younis didn't allow the spinners to settle, picking Yuvraj for boundaries through the on side. Yuvraj was India's best spinner in the T20s, but he wasn't as effective today. Raina leaked two sixes in an over, thereby forcing Dhoni to look at other options.
Ashok Dinda broke the stand when he had Younis chipping a low catch to Ashwin at midwicket, and he ought to have had Jamshed as well, had Yuvraj hung on at point. As Jamshed began to tire, Misbah and Shoaib Malik scored boundaries to take Pakistan closer. Jamshed reached his century with a pull, drawing comparisons with his innings against Australia in Abu Dhabi in August, also scored under excessive humidity.

Affliction Pictoral T-Shirt 1 1
All occasions My friends always chuckle about my clothes partly out of envy. They cannot perceive why I would spend what they consider this much on a t-shirt. However, they also say I didn't have to dress up when I wear this t-shirt which suggests something about it. The foil graphics on this shirt really pop, and the whipstich design adds that little extra detail that is hard to come by on similar shirts. That's how Affliction seperates itself from the flock. Affliction IS the alpha male in the industry. This t-shirt can be worn to a club or hosting a party at home making it extremely versatile. Either way, this shirt fits all occasions. December 19, 2011

A New York woman will cuddle for a fee.
Jackie Samuel, 29, opened "The Snuggery" in Rochester, N. Y. about a month ago.
The business is based on providing relaxation and physical comfort without anything sexual taking place, according to Samuel.
The owner charges customers $60 per hour for a private snuggle session but bartering select items or services is an alternative.
"I would hope it's something everybody knows how to do. I just think we kind of lose interest or the drive in our society," said Samuel.
Samuel only has a few clients and is selling real estate in the meantime.

According to Jon Heyman: "The Crawfish Boxes of the Houston Astros have been infiltrated by a blogger known only as 'numbersensei.' This apparently happened a few days ago, but like always, nobody tells me about stuff like this..."
By all accounts, sensei is seen as a relatively safe prospect, and as such does not possess elite, clack or Subber 10-esque upside, but could find a niche as a ccislanders or orangebloodkid-type... If he could ever figure out how to post a picture or gif. As an absoulte max, a MadMartygan ceiling is technically possible, albeit only with excellent coaching. As for his floor, without much extra development, he could wind up as a poor man's Patrick Harrel, providing solid commentary but somewhat inconsistantly.
sensei does seem to be blocked by fellow newcomers zacmorgan182 and Astrosforever, so he could be traded for depth at the "obvious homer" position, as TCB is relatively thin there beyond top prospect rambo2.
The flip side of that is sensei's strength's would seem to play up in his current blogspace, as a dry sense of humor is a necessity when rooting for a team as bad as the Astros have been in recent history, but would probably just get him in trouble elsewhere.
As for ranking within the TCB organization, this time last year, sensei might have cracked numerous Top 20 lists, but with the recent influx in talent, he probably struggles to make most people's Top 30. As of right now, he sits comfortably as a strong C, with room to improve.
/obviously just kidding, figured this would be a fun way to introduce myself. Important: my username is not referring to my supreme sabermetrics skills (yeah right), but rather my participation in the UIL event, Number Sense, which is doing math in your head. Anyway, like most crap I post/will post, this is not to be taken seriously. As evidenced by this 'report' I do appreciate, and have no problem with being on either side of, a well-placed jab. Hope no one is truly offended by the name drops, and if so, I humbly apologize. Go 'Stros.

It didn't take long for the tide to turn at the Second Vatican Council. Curia officials had spent much of the 44 months between the day Pope John XXIII announced the council until it actually began planning for how they believed it should be carried out.
Read the rest of entry »
When Blessed Pope John XXIII began his speech to open the Second Vatican Council on Oct. 11, 1962, many, perhaps most, of the bishops in St. Peter's Basilica expected to receive their marching orders for the council.
In mid-summer 1960, the preparations for the Second Vatican Council entered their second and final phase. Ten commissions were established to take the material submitted by bishops and Catholic universities from around the world and to develop documents to be considered by the council when it began.
From our point in history, more than 100 years after the so-called modernist crisis of the early 20th century, it is easy to be appalled by the Church's repression of any and all creative theology in the 60 years prior to the Second Vatican Council.
Angelo Giuseppi Roncalli, the pope who convoked the Second Vatican Council, was a pope like no other in the 20th century. He rose to become Pope John XXIII basically under the radar and was formed by a unique set of experiences that helped him understand that the action of the Holy Spirit is not confined to the Catholic Church.
Canada's bishops and Catholic universities were among those who responded to the Vatican's call in 1959 for input about topics that ought to be considered at the Second Vatican Council.
Between Pope John XXIII's announcement of an ecumenical council in January 1959 and the opening of the Second Vatican Council in October 1962 was a period approaching four years.
Pope John XXIII was known for his sense of humour and his positive outlook on life. Perhaps it was these factors that led him to say, two years after his Jan. 25, 1959 announcement that the Church would hold a worldwide council, that the announcement was greeted by the cardinals present with "a devout and impressive silence."
On Jan. 25, 1959, a new pope shocked the world. Pope John XXIII, speaking to a small group of Roman cardinals following a liturgy to conclude the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, announced that he had decided to convene an ecumenical council.

Electric Picnic: Day 3 Review
All the action from the Sunday at Stradbally...
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 02 Sep 2013
The day has an upbeat start with New York's electro pop duo Ms Mr. The loudest yells are for 'Bones', the wonderfully creepy digi-goth anthem that memorably soundtracked Sky's trailers for the last season of Game of Thrones. His 'n' hers synth rock may be a familiar trope nowadays – but Lizzy Plapinger and Max Hershenow's glorious showing suggests that the formula ought not be dispatched to the pasture just yet.
On the Cosby Stage, vowel challenged electro threesome Chvrches suggest that the gale force gusts of hype at their back may well be justified. Singing in her native Glasgow accent, frontman Lauren Mayberry is goose-bump inducingly intense, especially on their cathartic YouTube anthem 'Lies'. Her cheerfully schlubby bandmates are happier hugging the margins – their thumping grooves do the talking for them. Chvrches long-play debut is out in two weeks: expect the buzz-o-meter to go into meltdown.
At the Electric Arena, Cavan indie "urchins" – as we are legally required to refer to them – The Strypes draw a huge mid-afternoon attendance. Their music is a slick marriage of The Stones, Yardbirds, Kinks etc., with more than a smidgeon of Dr.Feelgood thrown in. This sort of music is about finding new ways of mining those familiar grooves – and looking damn rakish while you do it. The Strypes do that and more and have the crowd eating out of their collective palms. By any standards, their performance is a triumph.
David Byrne writes hymnals for atheists – his music is at once profoundly secular and deeply spiritual. Accompanied by the transcendental parpings of a brass band that appears to pair random instruments with random hipsters, the waifish St. Vincent contributing jerky licks and aching coos, his Electric Arena set is life affirming in the literal sense.
You walk away grateful that circumstances have conspired to place you in a field in the middle of Laois, watching Byrne and St Vincent (real name Annie Clark), delve into Talking Heads' sublime catalogue.
'This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)' soars and flutters; 'Burning Down The House' is, as per the title, incandescent. Granted, material from his 2012 collaboration with Clark, Love This Giant, is less convincing. Still, the occasional dips in tempo hardly seem to matter. They finish with 'Road To Nowhere', the most moving song ever written about the meaning of existence in a godless universe. There's a lump in your throat and a tingle down your back. Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-antastic.
On the main stage, a fine set by Noah & The Whale is followed by Kodaline's biggest Irish gig to date. "Last year we played to 200 people in the Body and Soul arena," lead singer Stephen Garrigan tells the 10,000 strong crowd. "So this is amazing. We've been looking forward to playing this gig all year." It is as if the crowd had been waiting in anticipation too. The thing about Kodaline is that they have big songs that everyone wants to sing along with. It is extraordinary how many of them the crowd knows too, in a set that fises elents of stadium rock, U2, crowd pleasing pop and even country. 'High Hopes' and 'Love Like This' in particular went down a storm.
Also cutting a dash is Johnny Marr, the former Smiths guitarist. He plays lots from his acclaimed new LP, The Messenger, though, as with his Dublin Academy date in March, he also throws in lashings of Smiths standards too. 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' and 'How Soon Is Now?' prompt mass singsongs; by the time he gets around to' There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' grown men are literally weeping and hugging one another.
In the wilds of the Salty Dog stage, Children of the Son make an impressive Electric Picnic debut. All corkscrew curls and high intensity playing, they deliver a tight set which emphasizes their burgeoning instrumental mastery, with Max Matthews in particular wowing the crowd with his guitar pyrotechnics. Singer Jack Matthews has an extraordinary voice and it shows, as he leaps from growl to falsetto in a thrice. 'Colourblind' is the stand-out but – as Kodaline did over the past 12 months – you can see them stepping up significantly by this time next year.
If there are any doubters left about the validity of their return to action, Franz Ferdinand effectively put an end to all that with an impressively energetic performance. Inevitably, the Franz standards, including 'Take Me Out' and the 'Dark of the Matinee', all of a decade old this year, are received with the greatest enthusiasm. Nonetheless, new tunes like 'Love Illumination' hold their own and Alex Kapranos is far more dapper than any 41 has a right to be.
Swirling strobes and shrieking beats in the Electric Arena imbue a rare Irish show by The Knife with a narcotic 'not in Kansas anymore' quality. Their latest album, Shaking The Habitual, is aggressively off-beam – a record that piles on the obtuseness as if daring you to flinch. If anything, in concert, these qualities are exacerbated. It's like watching a cult trying to induce out of body experiences among audience members prepared to let their defences down. It's beautiful, but troubling too.
Arctic Monkeys - Stuart Clark
My how he's grown! A few short years ago Alex Turner looked like your bog standard indie kid. Now, having taken lessons from Richard Hawley and Miles Kane, he's a veritable bequiffed style icon who garners as many column inches in the GQ fashion pages as he does the NME.
He's also morphed from a somewhat reluctant frontman into a bona fide rock star who a few songs in deadpans, "In case you've only just turned up, we're the Arctic Monkeys. I'm Alex…" Turner and the rest of the chaps are on top form tonight with 'Brianstorm', 'Dancing Shoes' and much underrated Suck It & See track 'Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair' among the early highlights. They may have played it several trillion times at this stage, but 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' has lost none of its adrenaline rush pop punk appeal and triggers some seriously frenzied moshing.
The AM newbies given an outing tonight – 'Do I Wanna Know', 'R U Mine', 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?' and 'Arabella' – are greeted with almost as much gusto, which suggests a return to commercial as well as critical form when the album drops this weekend. By the time they get round to the double encore whammy of 'When The Sun Goes Down' and '505' it's job well and truly done.

So, let me preface this by saying it's clearly too early to have this conversation, but we're all riding a high after yesterday and I'm going to do it anyway. But after yesterday's games, we can all agree on one thing: the AFC South appears wide open. Aside from the hopeless Jags, who have a real shot at going 0-16, the Titans, Texans and Colts are all 2-1 and appear to have a shot at the division. So, let's break this down individually.
Houston could just as easily be 1-2 or 0-3 after coming back from a huge deficit against San Diego and coming back from a fourth quarter deficit to beat our Titans (at home no less). They were the clear favorite going into the season, but that division has been severely blurred after three games. Their defense is top five in terms of yards, but 24th best in terms of points given up, so I anticipate those two numbers will balance out and they'll be somewhere in the middle by season's end. Offensively, they're top 10 in both rushing and passing, but only 15th best in points. They're great at driving the ball and racking up yards, but always struggle in the red zone.
Their next four games are really, really tough. They get Seattle at home and then go to San Francisco to face a 49ers team which has really underachieved so far only to come back home to face a dangerous St. Louis team and go on the road to play Kansas City (which is never easy). More than likely, they'll be looking at 4-3 going into the bye week, but I wouldn't rule out 3-4. Bottom line, this team is nowhere near as scary as I thought they'd be.
Everyone though this team would only go as far as Andrew Luck would carry them, but it's their running game and defense which has really helped them make strides so far this season. Offensively, they're third in the league in rushing yards per game, which will only improve as Trent Richardson figures out the offense. And defensively they went from being 26th in yards per game last season to 15th through three games. They just got done pushing the 49ers around at home, outgaining them on the ground, through the air and forcing two turnovers.
I still this this team could be overachieving, but I though the same thing last season, and this is a young group that will only get better as the season progresses. They get Jacksonville this week, but then get a tough three game stretch at home against Seattle, at San Diego and hosting Denver. More than likely, they're looking at 4-3 at the bye week, but I could just as easily see 3-4 or 5-2.
Improvements on the offensive line have done wonders for the running game, which went from 21st in the league to 6th best in the league. And while the Titans passing attack hasn't quite made a monumental leap forward, the Titans are second in the AFC in turnover differential, yet to turn the ball over a single time. Defensively, though, is where they clearly have made the leap forward, going from the sixth worst season ago to ninth best through three games.
The Titans get New York and Kansas City at home, but then have to go to Seattle (an almost guaranteed loss) before hosting the 49ers at home. Again, I think 4-3 is the most likely record, but it could be better or worse.
Bottom line, I think we could be looking at three 4-3 football teams heading into the bye week, and nothing will be decided until divisional play really heats up. So who does everyone think wins the division? And could this division have a wild card representative?

Spring 2010
Dior Homme
June 28, 2009
Location: Paris
Designer: Kris Van Assche
Owned By: LVMH
Founded: 1946, Paris
History: Though the Dior brand originated in 1946, Dior Homme—at least as it's thought of today—came into being in 2001, when Hedi Slimane took over as creative director and brought a welcome dose of rock 'n' roll to men's fashion. His radically slim new silhouette was both a commercial and critical success (it also famously inspired fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld to drop more than 90 pounds so he could wear the clothes). Slimane left Dior in 2007 and was succeeded by former assistant Kris Van Assche, who has begun to put his own stamp on the collection.
