55Adam Levine Is Too Gross to Handle
Adam Levine did a lengthy interview with Details, and I honestly can't even believe how awful he sounds. He sounds like a smarmy, ignorant asshole. I thought about counting how many times I sighed and rolled my eyes while reading through it, but I decided against it after the second time, because sometimes you just know when something is total garbage.
Here are some excerpts so that you can feel the ickiness for yourself:
On being misrepresented: "I've always felt a little misrepresented in the world. I felt like people only knew me as a singer who dated pretty girls. A little bit of a bimbo. Maybe I was kind of a bimbo," he adds, laughing. "I was the music dude that was naked all the time with the girls, and that's fine, no problem with that. But I wanted to create a little balance. When the show [The Voice] came around, I thought, 'People now know that I have a brain.'"
On Christina Aguilera: "I always thought Christina was the best pop singer around. She wasn't just a pop star—she could sing her f-cking ass off. We butted heads a little in the beginning. I had sympathy for her being the only girl, though, so I laid off. Blake has a charming way of bickering with her, but I can't pull that off. We're totally cool now."
On yoga: "You know what yoga's good for?" Adam Levine asks, pausing in mid-thought as he discusses his healthful lifestyle. He draws to his feet, balances in the private jet's narrow aisle, points at his crotch, and thrusts his pelvis like a porn star. "I'll tell you what yoga is good for: Fuuuu-k-ing," he chimes, in a singsong falsetto, then laughs.
On understanding women: "One of my theories on why I'm so capable of understanding women is that after my parents split, my mom moved in with her brother's ex-wife—my aunt—who was also newly single," he says. "So I was living in a house with two jilted women, plus my cousin, who's more like my sister, and my brother, Michael, who we eventually find out is gay. Just the estrogen alone . . . You know when you're 14 and terrified to talk to a girl? I didn't suffer much from that. It seemed very natural to me to talk to girls."
On loving women: "There's two kinds of men," Levine posits. "There are men who are f-cking misogynist pigs, and then there are men who just really love women, who think they're the most amazing people in the world. And that's me. Maybe the reason I was promiscuous, and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much."
On attention: "I love attention. I can't stand not having it. It just has to be the right kind. To do what you love, to be with the people you love? That's all I want. That's the 'kwan.'"
Ok, some parts aren't that bad. That's nice about Christina, I guess. But that part about yoga? And oh my god, he sleeps with a lot of women because he loves them so much? Is that really what he just said?
Adam might love attention, but I don't think he really understands what "the right kind" of attention is. If he did, he would say stupid, ridiculous shit like this in an interview. Or to anyone at all.

Called it. Years ago I labelled this guy as a giant douche bag and it's finally been confirmed.
He is just a goofy, highly sexualized guy. I know men like this. They do just fucking love women and narrow minded people start pointing and calling "douche" because they don't understand the difference between a guy that you try to keep and a guy you take for a spin and recommend to friends.
I'd bag him, have a blast, and pass him on. :)
@ Tara…..send him my way! :)
Smart chics know better!;)
amen Tara. i've got guy friends just like that. that's why they're "friends". but they'd still go out of their way to help me before some of my own family would, so no hating here :)
Typical hot guy behavior. No surprises here! It is what it is and I accept it!
He's a complete waste of time. Looks like an arrogant shit, talks like an arrogant shit, is an arrogant shit
Women who think he is doing typical hot guy behavior and accept it are there own worst enemies. He is a total douche bag, he's a narcississtic pic which is way worse than a mysoginistic male that he holds himself up against. He's a f in liar, self centered asshole. He probably has all kinds of cooties too, gross is about right.
There are people that really consider that *that* bad? Seriously? You must be kidding. Women *fawn* over "hot guys" *worse* than men fawn over hot women (at least average and below average women can still easily have a fling if they want one). Do women really not understand that the endless worship they heap on the clearly obvious "hot guy" is just going to inflate their ego *that much more*?
I think as badly as men fail to understand women, the reverse is even more extreme. I will help to enlighten (this one is free)
Generally, in any group of 10 guys, there are 9 that are lucky to get a woman to look their way once a year, and then there is the 1 that has had sex with half of the neighborhood.
Do this experiment… Take a random group of guys aged 20-40. HONESTLY find out how many partners they've had (hook them up to a polygraph and pay them $5).
The results will go like this: "3″, "4″, "1″, "2″, "150″, "4″, "3″, "1″, "90″. LOL.
I completely agree with "anonymous". Women *reward* and *encourage* this by immediately jumping on these guys. As "Tara" above says, take him for a "spin" and then "pass him to a friend". *That* is reality. Women have 2-3x more partners than the average guy, but its because there is ONE guy that has had all of them.
Once women get older and more tired, they finally settle for some average schmuck so they can have kids and stability. They then complain that he sucks in bed (since he's had zero experience) and 50% of them (statistically) start up an affair with the exact same type of asshole they've always rewarded in the past. Meanwhile the idiot husband cant figure out how to get his wife to throw something his way more than once a month and the "online advice" sites tell him its his fault for not making life easier for her!
As these "genetic lotto winner" guys go, who get endless play from women no matter how badly they treat them, Levine is actually pretty decent!
Huh? Adam levine is not that good looking. i can't stand Maroon 5 he's sings like a little girl and I can't STAND "moves like jagger". That song is an insult to Mick Jagger who if I would have been alive back in the day would have had an open invitation 24/7:D. Seriously though, your post is kind of depressing.. I never thought of things that way.. Are you sure? This can't be the norm.
Clearly as men and to improve the odds, we must locate these 1 in 10 guys and neuter them.
Who's up for starting with the ass hat in the article?
Seriously, I can't even remember what he's called and I can't be bothered to scroll up and find out.
u pent toomuch time thinking bout this.
I think Adam Levine doesn't realize what he sounds like in this interview. He seems like the sort of Guy who doesn't give a damn about what others think but it doesn't make us statements okay.
@article's author
You're a snob
when people interpret things however they want
it just makes them snobs
you were very clear in your stance though
You're a snob
Besides when i see Adam
i remember he wrote, "i don't mind spending every day
out on your corner in the pouring rain
look for the girl with the broken smile"
Quantum nailed it.
I love adam but I think he's pretty stupid,"I love women that's why I sleep with them",s.m.h…..follow @rhaydioactive on twitter
IDK but Adam Levine should really watch the stupid things he says or he's gonna end up like John Mayer. What kind of guy brags about how much he gets laid in a magazine that millions of women are going to read? A man that's about to stop getting laid once women read the article.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this interview.
Wait a second: You think him saying in this article that he uses the "pullout method" to avoid pregnancy is okay? He basically just advertised that if you have sex with him there is a good chance he's gonna give you an STD. He doesn't wear condoms. Either that or he was making a bad joke..
surly your not talking about Adam Levin.you would think he would be smart enough to wear a condom as many partners he has had.
yes he said he uses the "pullout" method to avoid pregnancy in the article. she doesn't have the paragraph where he says this posted but if you read the whole article it's there. That's why I think his article was so gross. he sounds like a frat boy.
Sounds like he was kidding. No one uses the pull out method.
Think he expresses self awareness and not afraid to admit it. In addition, it appears to be some apparent personal growth. He is an accomplished artists that knows how to obtain the attention he seeking; unafraid to express it is his inspiration. We are all are attention seekers btw. Human nature but he has true, appealing talent. The new album release is an example of him evolving and he really does push his voice differently.
The problem with all you Twatzis (rhymes with and sounds like Nazis for a reason.. a new breed of feminized retards with vaginas stomping around aggressively thinking men will oblige their every nonsensical whimsical queefing desire is a joke) is that you don't have a clue that your gender is so paradoxically moronic you'll say one thing and do another, say you want a nice guy and then let some douche nail you and pretend it was just that one time, you pretend to hate us alphas, and in reality we don't give a crap what comes out of your mouths because we know we can nail you or your girlfriends at any given moment when you stop your fussing and pissing and moaning, and want some attention, which is the narcissistic part of all female psyche's that any man can exploit if he wants to get laid… and Adam Levine is simply talking trash because he can and will always get laid, even by some of your Twatzis pissing and moaning about it, guarantee if you were backstage at one of his concerts and he dropped trow, you'd be kneeling down squealing "Oh Adam… " . The biggiest problem with women is that they never shut up and rarely make sense even to themselves. Go squeal some more like stuck pigs.. nothing new under the sun. The guy is a multi millionaire and probably banged Agui'fuckn'lera too, like Eminem called her out.. she's a hobag, gotta' "switch me chairs and sit next to Carson Daily and Fred Durst"… cuz Adam Levine is getting his nut off on Christina and Britney. The whole scene is full-o-whorez… get over it. You're home wanking your little man in the canoe with some rubber ducky, typing on your keyboard like he gives a crap. Who wrote this article? Likely some douche who can't get a date, has a giant hairbush from the 70′s, HPV and herpes, and sleeps with her 6 cats, and a Maroon5 poster over her bunkbed… LOSA… like millions of sad and sadistically brainwashed pathetic twats these days. Your "independence" means you're sadly dependant on Pfizer for all your meds… pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft. Next time you publically queef an article out like this, please do us the courtesy of posting your IP addy so we can tune into your webcam of loneliness with the cats in your NYC loft.
What the hell is wrong with you? Adam Levine isn't Alpha. MicK Jagger is Alpha and whoever Woemnrnutz is is a creep. Perfect example of why gorgeous women are grossed out by your type of guy and start dating eachother.
Dude, I just read this thread again cause it was so crazy and all Ican say is whatever meds YOU are on aren't working. Me thinks you're the one that's crazy. You need to hit Pfizer up for some anit-psychotics..
Dude I do not know who stomped on you but she did one hell of a job for you to rant on and on as you have done. Talk about Pfizer, you sound like you are seriously off your meds!
Hey from guy to guy…. no Alpha could get turned on by women (or men) as being "turned on" relinquishes any control.
Could you explain to me how being a chauvinistic, straight male works? Do you hate yourself after sleeping with a gender you so obviously hate?
haha, weirdo…
You must be gay. It's so obvious you hate women.
Look at all the hurt women replying to the guy's TRUTH!
He doesn't mean ALL women, he just means YOU! So many females are like what he wrote. They make many a men cringe with their behavior and attitude. I thank God for the good ones, albeit just a few. But they do exist. Just not you.
Good writing.
Me thinks that WomenRNuts wrote this garbage trying to get us riled up or he's the biggest creep I've seen in a while. And what's wrong with sleeping with 6 cats? Other than a bit of cat hair (lint brushes fix that), they don't snore, fart and turn into total jerks when they wake up. A lint brush can't fix that.
What a weirdo. What is wrong with that guy???
Man likes sex. And lots of it. Is anyone surprised?
I'd like any male to dare tell us that if they were in his shoes with the ability to have most women tjey want (whether deserving or not is not the issue here), they would not do the same? Of course they would. Any of them is lying if they deny it. Men are dawgs if given a chance. WE all know that so attacking Adam is senseless. He's just out in the open about it. I'm more offended by his insistence to prance around shirtless ALL the time. He might be more sexy if he didn't try to flaunt so much. Lesson to you guys!
What I learned from this thread: Women think men are dogs and men think women are crazy.
Pretty much sums it up.
I have very limited exposure to this person but do know who he is and remember him because the first song they did I thought they had female lead vocalist and was shocked to find it was a man. Personally I find his music very lame! Next exposure was on the alleged talent show which I found equally lame so I for one am kinda glad he is showing how impressive he is for all to see!
I am sorry
fuck everybody whos againts Adam if u dont love him why do u give a fuck about what he says.he likes sleeping with girls,big woop what sexy-popstar-male doesn't.Adam has a incredble life and he doesnt need people like you ruining it
really? how are we "ruining" it? you really think he reads this blog? If he did bother to read it do think he would care what we said about him? he's got a pretty good opinion of himself already. I'm sorry I just don't think he's sexy. Alex Skarsgard is sexy.
Wow. Who would believe one doucher pop singer could generate so much gender nonsense? And yes, definitely, "What was her name and what did she do to you?"
Finally,oneday u meet a girl that u will be forced to bow front of her……..Sooner or later
Adam Levine is the coolest guy in the world, Maroon 5 is one of the best bands of all time. Fuck you all.
fuck you
adam levine is gay, gay, gay!! He only uses women as a beard.
I hope that he is straight and is one of those discreet straight guys who likes to fuck less masculine guys and let them suck him off. I sure would like to be one of the guys to service him. He is so FUCKING HOT i can't stand it!!! He makes me want to jump into the television set everytime i see him.
Just like the very first poster, I called it years back: Levine is a pretentious, air-headed, over-hyped d-o-u-c-h-e. He's attractive, but I guarantee there are hotter guys who are smarter, humbler, and genuinely respectful of women.
Any woman who falls for Levine's type needs to set higher standards for herself.
He didn't get any in high school…typical reformed nerd bad behavior
These are always the worst womanizers
Meanwhile the good lookin popular guys in high school get over adoles cent behavior and make best husbands
People always think its the opposite
But if you are 25and over go with the good looking guy who was popular in high school not the nerd who is ok looking
Womaniser basically. He "loves" them to get in their pants and pretty much admits it. What's worse is he's showing that he views women as nothing more than sexual objects. Is this how a woman really wants to be treated? I truly don't believe Mr. Levine "understands" women as much as he thinks he does. Or maybe he's just that arrogant he cannot refrain from making himself sounding like a total pig. He's used his success to fuel his addiction, like so many. Minus the money and fame, 9 times out of 10 any average Joe acting like this would get slapped in the face. It's all fun and games until Adam contracts HIV from one of his groupies. As this man postures, I think it's to cover up some severe insecurity. He's either totally bluffing, or sexually confused. When the hormones wear off, I don't believe either is considered attractive.
Geez, give him a break! Have you ever heard of making tongue-in-a-cheek comments? And HE does know he sound like a little girl, he said it himself. He doesn't pretend or try to be someone else than himself. You are the very people who put celebrities on a pedestal by reacting to everything they do or say but did they arm twist you in putting them there? SMH! You're the ones who should get over yourselves, bunch of pharisaic haters!
My name is Tara, and the comment above close to the start of this, by another Tara echoes my sentiments exactly. I'd certainly take him for a spin and hit him again when he's in town but I'm a Pisces and I like to be alone but everyone needs lovin sometimes. just dont leave your germs from previous test drives and im cool. Adam is a Pisces too I believe. Just had his 34th. I took my mom to see him tonight and she was giddy. She'd hit that too!!! Lmao. I'm 32 so she could be his mom.
whenever levine opens his mouth – i quickly MUTE
I've worked with this dickhead. He is the most hypocritical, insecure, ignorantly judgmental woman-hating diva asshole you can image. He is only nice when he is in control (aka: a 20 year old ugly girl model who adores him, pleaser friends who use him for his name and influence, etc etc etc). Total douche who has a microscopic pecker and is petrified of losing his hair. Seriously would he take his overexposed bullshit and go away, please?

I thought I'd try and gather some of my thoughts around the numbers and stats coming out of our third preseason game vs. the Ravens. Since we played "most" of our starters...and for "most" of the game...normally, I'd say the results of Game 3 should be more indicative of how we can expect the team to play throughout the upcoming season. But, we had some key guys sit this one out. On offense, both Deangelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart never saw the field. And, on defense, we were missing Jon Beason, Thomas Davis, Charles Godfrey...and of course, Ma'ake Kemoeatu. That latter personnel grouping was pretty important, as defensively, we just didn't have it together. But more on that once we go...inside the numbers...
Running Game - We actually did very well despite not having Deangelo or Stewart in the game. Mike Goodson carried 11 times for 52 yards (an average of 4.73 yards per carry). And Decori Birmingham ran 8 times for 27 yards (a 3.38 average) and scored our only TD on a 4th and 1. The offensive line blocked fairly well, but on several occasions Baltimore's defense overpursued, keying off our FB at the point-of-attack. Credit Goodson for cutting back to the weak side of the defensive line and using his speed to get positive yards. At least on one occasion, he seemed frustrated by that. I think Jake or someone was telling him to follow his blockers, but Goodson was trying to indicate that there were too many Ravens defenders already there. He also had a couple of good runs to the edge, again using his speed to turn the corner and get up field. Birmingham got most of his yards inside, including the TD run off-tackle to Otah's side. Generally speaking, our run game looks intact even against a really good defense and even without our two starting RBs. That's a positive to take out of the game regardless of the outcome.
Passing Game - We just did reasonably well with our aerial attack. Jake Delhomme looked better (compared to late last year) and had good zip on the ball, going 10 of 16 for 180 yards. But, in all honesty, he looked very "blah" for the entire first half. He picked up most of his yardage in the 3rd quarter, presumably after making some adjustments and making some long passes (see Receivers, below). McCown went 2 of 4 for 40 yards. No TD passes or INTs for either QB. And we didn't see Moore or Cantwell, but our last preseason game against Pittsburgh should feature all of the backups to determine who makes the roster. Also, despite our QBs being sacked twice by the Ravens, none of them fumbled (including Jake).
Receivers - We made some big catches in the passing game. Long receptions to Muhsin Muhammad (38-yarder), Jeff King (35-yarder), Steve Smith (26-yarder), and Dante Rosario (25-yarder) helped. Smith took quite a shot on his catch and almost had another one, laying full-out along the sideline. Jarrett also pulled in a tough ball (10-yarder) and hung onto it, despite a big hit, but that's all we saw of him other than a holding penalty that called on him. And, another bright spot -- picking up where he left off, Kenny Moore showed really well again playing with the 1's, catching 3 balls for 40 yards, including one that went for 19 yards. More importantly, he showed consistency and an ability to get open against a premier defense in the Ravens secondary. I think the other good thing we saw from the Panthers was the ability to get the ball downfield to our TEs. Stretching the middle of the field can only help us. We also did well on screen passes to Mike Goodson, who turned 3 catches into 26 yards, and had another big one that got called back for a penalty.
But perhaps more eye-popping was the sideline catch Goodson made that the refs originally ruled out-of-bounds. McCown was flushed from the pocket and looked like he was going to scramble to try and pick up a first down...but he had too far to go, so he pulled it back and threw for Goodson up field. Unfortunately, Goodson thought he was going to run and was locked up with his man to block for McCown. Then, they disengaged and Goodson saw the ball coming his way. He literally had to lay out for it, catching it on his fingertips and pulling it in, barely toe-tapping to keep his feet in bounds. The refs threw a flag, originally for illegal contact, I believe, because Goodson was blocking his man downfield before the ball was thrown. They also ruled the pass was incomplete, i.e., that Goodson didn't keep his feet in-bounds. Fox challenged because the Ravens were going to decline the penalty and put the Panthers in 4th down instead of replaying 3rd down after the penalty was enforced. We won the challenge that Goodson caught the ball (wow!), but it was also determined he was knocked out of bounds, came back in and re-established himself with two feet in-bounds before the reception. So, by catching the ball it was illegal touching, and that was a penalty on the Panthers. Bottom line: the Ravens couldn't put us in 4th down and we got to do 3rd down over. Silver lining: Goodson is a player, not just with his speed, but also his pass-catching ability.
Penalties - We had a lot of them. Too many, in fact. All in all, we had 9 penalties for 70 yards, several of which killed our offensive drives or kept them alive for the Ravens. And, since we're supposed to be in "top form" for our 3rd preseason game, it's disappointing to see something like that. A few of them came across kind of ticky-tacky, particularly on defense. But most of them were accurate. We stopped ourselves. It wasn't us against the referees.
Third Down Conversions - We went 0-for-7 on third down opportunities. A whole lot of three-and-outs for us, basically. Instant drive-killers. When we did move the ball, we sustained drives mostly because of our long pass plays or a nifty run from Goodson that kept us out of third down. But, everytime the defense put us in a third down situation, we couldn't convert...at all. That's a problem. And we've seen it in previous seasons before. I don't know why that keeps happening. Is it a lack of sound playcalling on third down? Do we not have plays in the playbook we can reliably use? And if we do, are the players simply incapable of properly executing such plays? I don't know. But it's a prime area of concern. Comparably, the Ravens went 8-for-13 (61%) on third down conversions and they only punted to us twice. That means our defense couldn't get them off the field. And our offense couldn't stay on the field. Time of possession was very lopsided in the first half. And, only after we sustained some drives late in the 3rd and 4th quarters did we start to even it out. Still, the Ravens had the ball for 35:09 and we only had it 24:51...about a 3-2 ratio, basically. For a team that wants to pride itself on running the ball and controlling the clock, it was obviously lacking in this game.
Run Defense - With the exception of the big 48-yard run given up by the scrubs in the 4th quarter that allowed Baltimore to run out the clock, we did really well in defending the run against a good team. The DTs didn't get pushed around nearly as much as I feared they would. And the Ravens didn't just try to run around the edges. They specifically targeted the center of our D-line on multiple plays and got stood up. Our LBs did a particularly good job. I'll single out Dan Connor, James Anderson, and Jeremy Leman, specifically. Anderson led the team in tackles. And Connor was his usual "tackling machine" self. If you go inside the numbers, the Ravens ran 28 times for 118 yards (an average of 4.2 yards per carry). But, as I said, I think that's a little misleading because of that one 48-yard rumble at the end of the game against guys who probably aren't going to be on our team come opening day. If you take out that play, we actually held the Ravens -- a very good running team -- to just 2.6 yards per carry. And that's pretty decent, considering we were getting much more in our run game.
Pass Rush - We had only 1 sack, courtesy of Tyler Brayton against Joe Flacco...but I think it's worth noting that Peppers caused Flacco to delay getting rid of the ball by leaping and obstructing the passing lane he wanted to use. When Flacco pulled the ball down, Brayton came crashing into him from behind. Peppers also chased Flacco on another play out of bounds, coming all the way from the far side of the field. Everette Brown applied pressure, too, against Troy Smith when he got into the game. And all of that pressure came without too many blitzes involving the LBs or DBs...though Chris Harris did bring some heat on one play in the 4th quarter. We didn't see much of a push by the DTs in the game, but I didn't really expect them to do much in that regard. On passing downs, we did see an interesting package using Peppers and Brown on the edges with Tyler Brayton and Charles Johnson in the middle. I suspect we may see that more often throughout the year. They also lined up Julius on the left side more than I thought they would, basically flipping him and Brayton from their DE positions last year. I wonder if they'll continue that or just move them around depending on our opponent?
Pass Defense (Secondary) - We outright sucked in this area. Joe Flacco picked us apart, going 23 of 28 for 247 yards and 1 TD. Many of them were dink-and-dunk passes to the TE and RBs. Our LBs played them very poorly, and I recall one play where Landon Johnson very specifically fell right on his butt trying to come up and make a tackle, decleating himself and totally whiffing on an opportunity to make the tackle. Instead, the RB caught the ball, sidestepped, and went straight up the field for extra yards. Other big plays resulted from our LBs getting swept up in the wash, particularly on screen plays or passes into the flat. And, of course, the TD play to the Raven's TE occured because he simply beat our LB and made a tough catch.
But the lack of playmaking in our secondary wasn't just attributable to our LBs. The DBs got into the act as well, especially from the CB position. Chris Gamble and Richard Marshall gave WAY too much cushion to the Ravens receivers on the outside. And Gamble got beat particularly badly on a long pass play to Kelly Washington that could have gone for a TD if the receiver hadn't stepped out of bounds. He also missed tackles and just generally played very poorly. He had a lot of tackles, but that's because they picked on him...a LOT. Marshall did a little better, but he too gave too much cushion. They just didn't abuse him as much as Gamble throughout the game. Overall, we had really poor tackling, too. That's something we definitely need work on, as it's been on display in the earlier preseason games, too. We have guys flying to the ball. They just don't wrap up. One bright spot among the DBs is that Dante Wesley picked off Troy Smith (and paid the price taking a wicked hit afterward) to kill a Ravens' drive that was about to get into scoring range again. But even Troy Smith showed well against our secondary, going 7 of 10 for 57 yards. Both Ravens QBs enjoyed a really high completion pecentage...primarily because they threw a lot of passes quickly (thereby negating any pass rush) and for short yardage where their receivers could pick up plenty of YAC because of our poor tackling. We also got burned deep a few times. So this was our most disappointing element of the game.
Kickoffs - This just in...Rhys Lloyd has a booming leg on kickoffs. He did so 4 times and forced 3 touchbacks. One of them, he angled from the middle of the field deep to the far right side of the endzone, maximizing the distance it had to travel because of the geometry involved. This helped us out by making the Ravens go the full distance on their drives. Unfortunately, our defense never really capitalized on it. But, imagine how much worse things might be if we had short kickoffs?
For instance, on the one kickoff that Lloyd didn't place in the endzone, the Ravens' KR moved upfield past the 30-yard line before ANY of our coverage guys even got close to him. He didn't actually get contact until the 35 and thankfully, we brought him down short of the 40. Still, it's clear that if Lloyd doesn't force a touchback, we're in trouble. Also, on our first kickoff (after the FG in the 1st quarter), Sherrod Martin was gunning along the right side of the field and got taken about 5 yards deep out of bounds and knocked on his butt at about midfield when he came back inside. Not very good technique being employed there...except by the Raven's special teamers, of course. I also heard after the game that Martin tweaked his knee a little. He was the only official "injury" and it didn't appear too serious. On the other side of the field, I watched Captain Munnerlyn do well on special teams. He got downfield much easier, with some assistance from Dante Rosario attracting attention by running fast alongside him. And Munnerlyn got in on some tackles because of it. The Captain also did pretty good tackling from the CB position later in the game, too.
On our kickoff returns, Mike Goodson handled ALL of them, which I found surprising because I thought they'd give Ryne Robinson some work on that, too. But we didn't see Ryne at all on special teams. He got in there for some pass plays late in the 4th quarter, but produced nothing. I don't think that looks well for him making the roster given that Kenny Moore continues to play well...Jarrett caught a tough ball...and Goodson is taking all of the kickoffs right now. As for Goodson himself, he handled 4 kickoffs and averaged 19 yards a return, with his longest going 27 yards. In general, our starting field position was pretty decent. But, Goodson did handle the first kickoff, pretty poorly...not so much in how he caught it...as his decision-making in running it up field. He started down the middle, then spent a lot more time running laterally and eventually got knocked out of bounds around the 15 yard line. Not a good start. But he did very well after that.
Punting - Jason Baker did a good job. He forced one fair catch and generally put the ball up really high to give his coverage time to get down field. But the coverage unit gave up some yards. On 2 of our punts, they picked up 27 yards against us, but the other 2 went for nothing (including the fair catch). Still, our coverage guys just aren't getting it done yet. Crossman needs to keep working them and settle on the right personnel mix. Also, J.J. Jansen continues to worry a bit. At least one of his snaps caused Baker to adjust to it. If that happens in the regular season, it could haunt us big-time.
Lastly, and perhaps most surprising to me, we didn't see Ryne Robinson go back to catch punts at all in this game. Baltimore punted twice and both times they fell into the endzone for touchbacks. But, we put Kenny Moore back there for them, rather than Ryne. What does that mean? Maybe they were giving Kenny his opportunities this week and we'll see Ryne handle them next week? Or maybe this is an indication Ryne will be cut in favor of keeping Kenny Moore and Mike Goodson to handle KR/PR and WR3/WR4/WR5 duties?
Field Goals and PATs - Same old John Kasay. He had one blocked, but it was called back because the Ravens were offsides (hence, they got there with plenty of time to block it). Other than that, he hit 2 FGs and a PAT. His longest FG went 50 yards. So yeah, John's still got the juice and accuracy.
Turnovers - As I mentioned before, we had a pick with Wesley's INT of Troy Smith. I think the notable thing for us is that we didn't have any, despite playing such a good defense in the Ravens. Admittedly, Jake did throw a ball to Steve Smith that Ed Reed tried to make a play on. He couldn't pull it in and Steve broke it up trying to wrap Reed up anyway. Our RBs (including Goodson) held on well. And despite suffering two sacks, none of our QBs fumbled. They also did well in avoiding the pass-rush or blitzes from the Ravens. Quick outs, slants, and some nifty footwork to move around in the pocket helped both Jake and McCown.
Okay, that's pretty much all I've got on analyzing the numbers for the Panthers-Ravens game. My general impression is that this defense still has a long way to go...and I'm really concerned. I came into this game worried about the run defense and the DT situation. But I left it with additional concerns about the secondary play. The offense is also struggling on 3rd downs. And we've got way too many penalties. Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of time left for the starters to work on these things. I imagine practices are going to get a lot more intense for them before the season opener. And maybe they can get more repetitions in once the roster starts getting trimmed down.
My dollar's worth this time,

I do understand the aggravation and dismay over them getting injured. I as well would be much happier if they were practicing and playing in games. It's way to early to give up on them though. DHB is the oldest WR we have and as far as I'm concerned this is for all intents and purposes his third year. His first year being a loss with he who shall not be named making a mockery of the QB position.
The rest of our WRs have two years or less in the NFL. They're all very talented with tons of potential. Ford two years, Moore one year, and the rest being rookies. The story on all of these guys are far from written. The question is why is there so much negativity. I'm concerned myself but I just don't get all the whole…… The sky is falling and we are all doomed comments I've been seeing.
Maybe this is a big problem and we do need to bring in a vet. I guess I'm just wondering what everyones thoughts are on the matter.

Those who live in Crestmont village say it's not a place they choose to live but a last resort. Some of the residents have felonies in their past and this is one of the few places that will rent to them.
The complex that's two thirds empty and partially condemned is now faced with another problem. we're told dozens of units with families have been without power for 6 days...that's with a high of 94 degrees in Houston. That's why you see extension cords snaking acrossing the courtyard. Neighbors sharing power even though the fire department said they could not.
Jackson says, "it's sad it just sad...I can't do it any more. "
Demetria Jackson says management has taken its time attempting to fix a blown transformer. She also says managers at the complex have even ask residents to help dig a two foot deep trench stretching more than 50 yards to bury high voltage cable. The city confirms a man who wasn't an electrician attempted to work on the power and found himself shocked Tuesday night.
Jackson says, "he got hit and he flew on the ground and so EMS came out last night. "
While Jackson has refused to pick up a shovel to dig the trench Nathan Barber has not. There have been some who despite their paying their fair share of rent are still rolling up their sleeves. Barber says it's for the good of the complex.
Barber says, "hey I had no problem digging...I'm helping the community out."
Residents say the lack of power at Crestmont has caused them to lose their food and put their health in jeopardy.
This electrician says he was hired by management at the complex to help restore the power to all the units. But he says the hold up has been the trench to bury the power cable. He says it's not deep enough and he was told by management some residents were paid to help dig up the trail.
Alvin Wright with the city of Houston says management promises to have the power on by the end of the day.

This tutorial is to help you learn how to remove unwanted items from a photo using the Clone Stamp Tool. For this photo (in order to simplify it and draw more attention to the main island) I removed the chain of little islands. Once you have your photo open in photoshop:
1. Select the Clone Stamp Tool from the toolbar, pick a good sized brush and set the opacity to about 95%.
2. Hold alt and click somewhere to take a good sample. (Wherever you take a sample, that's what your going to be drawing in place of the removed object).
3. Release alt and carefully click and drag the mouse over the item you wish to remove. (You will notice that the spot where you took the sample will follow your movements).
4. Continue to repeat steps 2 and 3 until the unwanted object is completely gone. You might have to change techniques a little based on available places to take a good sample. With practice this tool is very valuable.

There are two reports out of Oklahoma City that site sources that say redshirt freshman Trevor Knight will be named Oklahoma's starting quarterback over junior Blake Bell.
Tuesday after practice OU head coach Bob Stoops denied the reports that he's named a starter. "No, I haven't. Who reported that?" Stoops asked. He was then asked if the reports were true. "Of course it isn't true." Stoops replied.
He then got a little testy when he was asked when his timetable was to name a quarterback. "Really? Next Question. You haven't been around apparently."
Monday Coach Stoops said he wanted to see how the guys preformed over the next few practices.
The buzz around fall camp over the last week or so is that Trevor has looked better than Bell. He's been cleaner and made less mistakes.
After practice Monday Bob Stoops explained how each quarterback shares the reps.
"We rotate who's going with the ones and going with the twos." Bob Stoops said, "The reps are fairly equal, so it's fairly easy to see for the coaches, some times, who's elevating what group more and that's what you're continuing to try to look at."
All indications point to an announcement being made later this week. A couple of sources say it could come as early as tomorrow.

Part of the Walgreens EXCLUSIVE Beauty Bar, these Limited Edition wet n wild Baked Eyeshadow Palettes are sure to be a huge hit this holiday season. These three palettes, containing 6 baked shadows and a trial size kohl pencil, are priced incredibly well at $4.99 each.
Keep reading for swatches and my thoughts (below)!
Swatches (no base):
Baking A Cake
Bake-Off Contest!
Baked, Not Fried
My Thoughts:
Let's talk about the one, slight con of these palettes -- I'm not crazy about the packaging. I prefer the typical, flip-cover palettes, as opposed to the entire cover coming off. It's nothing major though...it's not something that affects my opinion of these palettes at all.
Overall, these palettes are lovely. The shadows are pigmented, smooth, not gritty or chalky, and I know I'm going to get a ton of use out of all of them. They wear beautifully. Also, there are a ton of high-end dupes in these! (watch for my upcoming dupe post!)
Are they must-haves? Yes and no...it really depends. I can't say that the colors are incredibly unique, so maybe not. They're colors that can be found across brands, and that many people likely already own. However as a lover of wet n wild, knowing that I'd buy all three palettes if I didn't already have them, I'd also say yes. The one palette that I'd say is definitely a must-have, in my opinion, is the blue, Baked, Not Fried palette; total dupe for the Sea and Sky Mineralize Duo that MAC released a few years ago. It was a duo that I loved and used constantly - so much so that I no longer have it - and now wet n wild has duplicated it. LOVE!
DISCLAIMER: Product(s) in this post may have been sent complimentary of the company or PR to A Brilliant Brunette for consideration. All opinions are honest and my own.

This is seriously weird. I just received my three palettes today, and the blue on was in the "Bake-Off Contest" packaging, while the brown was in the "Baked, Not Fried" packaging - and the brown palette came with a brown pencil... all palettes were sealed. I looked around on eBay too, and apparently several palettes are switched. Confused!

Visit Greece > Santorini
Spectacular scenery created from volcanic eruptions. Towering cliffs overlooking a crystal sea. Traditional tavernas. A fascinating history. Little surprise that Santorini is known as Calliste (most beautiful) in ancient Greek.
The volcano, now dormant, whose eruptions created the island's dramatic landscape is thought to be the source of the legend of Atlantis and unmistakably unique to the island are the spectacular black sand volcanic beaches with their sheer mountain backdrop.
Take some time to explore the island on your Santorini holiday, and discover a wealth of ancient sites set in the most beautiful surroundings. Of particular note is the village of Akrotiri, where excavations have revealed a Minoan city just as it stood until its burial under volcanic debris. The city (still being excavated) consisted of large, well-built multi-storey houses which contain some of the finest Minoan frescoes to be found in the Mediterranean.
Whilst on holiday in Santorini, spend some time in Fira, the capital, where winding narrow streets, arcades and whitewashed houses perch precariously on the edge of towering cliffs. Wander among traditional tavernas and souvenir shops selling pumice, the island's main export, soaking up the unique atmosphere, and shopping for souvenirs of your holiday to Santorini.
There are various ways to explore Santorini: in the tourist fashion, in enormous groups disembarking from cruise ships to stay for a few hours. Or the "Made in China" version: an increasing number of Chinese are visiting, taking advantage of an express trip to the old continent. They're easily recognizable by their way of moving from place to place, hurried along by their extremely tight tour schedule. For younger visitors, Santorini has become THE wedding destination. These young couples, in wedding gown and dark suit, say their "I do's" beside the pool, facing the Caldeira. But without a doubt, the best way to discover this jewel is to slowly draw back the curtain that hides it from hurried, indifferent glances, and to take one's time. The island isn't large, certainly, but its beauty and magnetic appeal require several days of exploration, allowing it the time to draw you in.
To discover the island, there are several ways of getting around: car, bus, scooter or quad. There's nothing stopping you from trying out all of them: three days by car, crossing the island from end to end, seeing the main sites; one day by bus (the system is remarkably good). Tickets are sold on board by a zealous employee who makes sure to shout out every station. On the last day, a final tour of the island's landscape by scooter or quad. If possible, choose the latter, which offers better road stability. Finally, there's one last picturesque method of travel if you have a strong constitution: astride a horse, exhausted from transporting tourists.
We would like to thanks Marianne Bourgeois, our travel reporter in Europe and www.travel-to-santorini.com for their kind assistance

Photo Essay By Staff Photographer Mary Schwalm
Newburyport Daily News
---- — Plane ticket, sch-plane ticket. If you want to see awesome Australian wildlife, you needn't travel any farther than Stone Zoo.
Yes, up from Down Under for a trip to Stoneham are koalas, budgies, a Bennett's wallaby and other Aussie guests.
"We are thrilled to present this exciting opportunity for people to learn more about the rich and unique biodiversity of Australia," said John Linehan, CEO and president of the facility's parent company, Zoo New England.
"This is an incredible opportunity to discover the remarkable wildlife from this part of the world, as well as the role that these animals play in the ecosystem," he added, promising that visitors of all ages will be delighted by the exhibition.
Due to its geographic location and remoteness from other continents, Australia is known for a wide range of unique wildlife that have specially adapted to climates including the Outback, which can be particularly harsh.
Stone Zoo is the only zoo in New England where visitors can see koalas this summer, Linehan said.
Koalas are herbivorous marsupials that primarily eat eucalyptus leaves and are adapted to living in tree canopies. In the wild, koalas only are found in Australia, in the east from northern Queensland to southwest Victoria, which have cool temperate to tropical climates.
The budgerigars exhibit is an interactive experience for zoo guests, who can stroll through the free-flight space among brightly colored budgies, as they are affectionately called. These small, slender parrots with long, tapering tails also are known as grass parakeets. Guests even can buy seed sticks and feed the birds.
"One of the things that I've observed is an intense craving for people to interact with animals, and this is a positive way for them to do so," Linehan said. "It's a great way to introduce people, especially children, to birds. You'll never see them more closely."
Budgies are mostly ground-dwelling birds native to central Australia. Because of their popularity within the pet trade, they can be found in nearly every country. In the wild, these birds are greenish in color and have black and yellow markings, but, because of their popularity as home pets, they have been bred for color variations beyond those traditionally seen in the wild.
If You Go
What: Aussie Adventure
Where: Stone Zoo, 149 Pond St., Stoneham
When: Through Sept. 2

RIDGELAND, MS (WLBT) - Local football legends gather in Ridgeland for a good cause.
The Alumni House was packed this evening with folks lining up to meet these gridiron heroes. Jerious Norwood, Nate Hughes, Justin Jenkins and others posed for pictures and signed autographs. A sports silent auction also enticed excited fans. The money raised will go to the Mississippi Firefighters Memorial Burn Association.
"We help all the burn victims in Mississippi with travel expenses, medication costs. Walmart gift cards, anything that they need. Then we're also trying to build a home away from home for the family members of the burn victims so that they'll have somewhere to stay when their loved ones are in the hospital," said Amanda Fontaine, Executive Director of the MS Firefighters Memorial Burn Association.
This was the second annual Gridiron Heroes fundraiser for the Mississippi Firefighters Memorial Burn Association. Organizers plan to bring in even more football stars next year.

After bad mouthing each other for months, UFC light heavyweight Jon Jones and contender Chael Sonnen finally get to go at it in UFC 159. Plus, Michael Bisping and Alan Belcher meet in a matchup of middlewieght strikers.
Chael and Bisping seam like all talk. I've got Jones and Velcher winning decisively.
Thanks to Belcher, no one can claim the stupidest tattoo in mma or anywhere for that matter. Well, maybe Lesnar…?
@Joe Dog at least its not a tramp stamp.
@Joe Dog
Guys with tribal chains around the bicep,stars on the chest or tits and tramp stamps are worst.Belcher's tattoo is funny because it's intended to be funny.
Lesnar, Belcher and the nautical stars are all stupid but Brown Pride takes the cake.

Lancome mascaras are usually very good. I've used Hypnose and Le Extreme and they were all great. The Bi Facil remover is wonderful at removing water proof mascaras. My priorities for using mascara are lengthening and curling (I have short and straight Asian lashes), so the Courbe Virtuose was perfect for me. I use it in conjuction with Shu Uemura eye lash curler and Shiseido Mascara Base. I enjoyed using it but I really appreciated it, when I took my Fresh Supernova Mascara for a week long trip and when I came back and used Courbe Virtouse and could tell the difference right away... no clumps at all! No smudges too, even though it's not waterproof but that could also be because of the wonderful mascara base from Shiseido, but that's another review!
I bought this in Bangkok at the Duty Free Shop and it sells as "Virtuose" and not Courbe Virtuose, but it appears to be the same product but name marketed differently per region. Anyhow, it applies well, but like someone else mentioned, I can't figure out how the curved brush works wonders or not. It doesn't irritate my eyes and does not appear to smudge. It will last all day. However, I can't tell if my lashes got longer or not. The curve is just average, depends on if you had luck with the eyelash curler or not, for the curve. So, I'm not sure I'd buy this product again, as I wasn't really impressed. I'd like length + volume + and super black color lashes, which this doesn't really cut it.
I have used this for about 1 month now and have learned how to use it better. So, now I love it more than any other mascara I've used so far. I use the regular formula (non-waterproof) and it does not smear or clump. I just have to curl my lashes well, then apply. Lasts all day and never irritates my contact lens eyes. It's my HG now.
I liked the brush as it really encouraged and held a nice curl, but the formula is a little stiff and flakey. This is also the first mascara that left little smudge marks near my eyes if I smiled a lot. Would have gotten a 4.5 if it didn't smudge and wasn't so stiff. Just ok.
I really love this mascara. It adds great volume, curls, and lengthens my lashes. It does not flake off at all and still looks good at the end of the day. It is a very "strong" formula and you need a good make-up remover to take it off.
I usually like Lancome mascaras, as they seem to be really workable and you can get good results if you put in a little time. This one, however, is lackluster...it did maintain my curl, even just the natural curl, which is nice after using so many mascaras that look great for 20 minutes then weigh my lashes out into straight sticks for the rest of the day. But, that wasnt even nearly enough to overcome the unimpressive thickening and lengthening, and the dry, flaky formula. I think I may have gotten an old/bad tube of this from Sephora online, as many other reviewers state they got decent results in the beginning until the mascara dries out...mine was dried out from the very beginning, and I probably should have taken it back. Even still, I agree with the other reviews and will not repurchase this.
Wow. This is like no other mascara I've ever tried and I'm a mascara freak. The first day I used this my eyes were instantly opened and I couldn't believe I didn't have to work 20 minutes to achieve this look. Some people consider how fast this mascara sets a disadvantage, but I love it! This mascara also eliminates the need for a curler. I love how much quicker it makes things in the morning. I will say, however, I did have to tug at my eyes a little to get it all off. I used mineral oil pads and some particles just didn't want to come off. To me, it's worth it and I'll definitely buy again.
I got this at a sample size and used it few times yet .. I think this is just an o-k-a-y mascara ..
Pros for me : Curls as it's supposed to , doesn't smudge , doesn't run , doesn't clump
and the
Cons would be : doesn't extend length, neither gives volume , hard to wash away , feels a little flaky .
So it's not THE mascara for me ..
This is one of the best mascaras that I've used. It really does give curves (even though I'm too lazy to use eye lash curler everyday) and is long lasting. Btw, I don't find this irritating at all.
Update: I recently switched to Definicils Pro which is better than this (by far).....so 1 lippie off.
This is a very stiff mascara, it made my lashes brittle and didnt seem to be much more than a mediocre mascara in terms of lengthening. Its not much of a volumizing formula and i wasnt impressed, however what horrified me and for the very first time, i lost 3 of my lashes. I didnt automatically assume it was the mascara s the next morning i reapplied it. I lost 2 more lashes. I would never use this mascara again.
Great mascara in every way... except my lashes started to fall out! If they hadn't, I'd give it lippies for staying power, colour, etc... but having lashes fall out even after removal is completely inexcusable. Hope it works for you!

Chris Johnson has ESPN dunk of the night
I know this dunk was linked before but it should be here again. Who knew it would take a former Celt to get the Blazers some love on the worldwide leader. I attended the game and it was nice to see #17 get some work in. I agree with flaxlight, who was there with me, that we should see Johnson in a Blazer jersey next year at least.

A month ago it was clear that we were sellers, so much so that even our Core players were available for the right price. Now this may still be true to some extent, but our current run has fogged up this question a bit. Usually a buyer is defined as a team looking to make a run deep into the playoffs or a team on the bubble trying to get in. We still don't really fit either of those criteria which by default means we should probably be sellers. So who do we Sell? Expiring contracts are usually the easiest to move. Young strong talent, which we have an abundance, could also be moved. But to what gain? Murray has already effectively taken one expiring contract off the block by giving Beachemin an extension. Some think that was a move to bring up his trade value, but if Murray traded him now I would probably protest outside Honda center. That leaves desirable assets such as Jason Blake, Niklas Hagman, George Parros, Selanne and Koivu for forwards and Brookbank on D. So who do we Sell and what do we want in return?
Just trying to give something to debate with the trade deadline looming in about a month.

This deep pecan-coloured brew doesn't afford much glitz or glamour but does reveal perfect clarity when held into the light. It also offers an impressive amount of head for a beer that's alcohol content hits double-digits. That off-white lather refuses to diminish even as the liquid beneath it does; much of it finds its way to the sides of the glass.
Its hops are almost villain-like they make so bitter the otherwise sweet, butter/raisin/pecan tart-like bouquet. Earthy, herbal resins seethe from the aroma like sap from a tree (an appropriate simile considering the scent of pine needles and spruce bark). A great, billowing note of purple plum conjures a thought of summer ripeness in an aroma that largely smells of fall-time decay.
The flavour is laced with sweet notes of fig, date, dark honey and molasses and is accented by a leafy peppermint and ginger spice. Lesser notes of grapefruit rind and caramel are noted too. It offers a great tension between the dark, sticky-sweet flavours and brighter, more citrusy ones. That said, the beer leans heavily on the leafy, resiny (i.e., pine, grass, peppermint) qualities. Good composure.
Reportedly, this beer's creators had conceived this recipe for a DIPA, but it was accidentally labeled a barleywine. Whatever. Barleywine. Double IPA. Tomato. Tomatoe. Let's not call the whole thing off. This disappears far too quick for a beer of its strength, a testimony to the fact that it's irresistibly quaffable. Despite some apparent strength, the beer is chewy enough to be a cookie. This is not by necessity a slow drinker.
Criminal law penalizes conspiracy as a separate crime because it acknowledges that the whole can be bigger than the sum of its parts; multiple actors achieve greater results working in concert than when they each act alone. Indeed, that is the case with Nogne #100, where sugary, nectar-sweet malts collude with herbal, piny hops to scheme a beer as satiating as it is quenching. Teamwork at its finest.

On tap at Capone's the other day.,
The beer pours an amber brown color with good retention and lacing. Alas, this was to be as good as things get. The nose is fairly malty, but a bit light. However, there is some noticeable brown sugar and a hint of citrus, but otherwise I don't get a lot to the aroma profile. The flavor profile replicates the nose, and tastged side by side with Deaue, double crooked tree and blue dot, this is almost a joke. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth, but there just isn't enough flavor to be very impressive. Also, this beer has some noticeable heat and alcohol, which detracts from the beer's drinkability just a bit.
Nothing wrong with this beer, but can't say it's anything that would make me want to try this beer again either.

A: Poured a dark, opaque caramel/cola with a creamy moderate beige head that left a good lacing.
S: a sweet roasted malt character, fresh pine, and some citrus.
T: warm and biscuity, with some dried citrus and soft roasted malt notes. There were some light whiskey cask notes sneaking through in the background as well as some dark chocolate, pine, and light sweet molasses. Some dry pine, dark roasted malt provide a nice closing before fading quickly and clean. The flavor is extraoridinary smooth, earthy and well balanced from start to finish.
M: silky and smooth with a soft palate and some dry bittering Columbus hops coming through similar to an Anderson valleys hop ottin but more tame.
D: The flavor was very refined, and soft making for an incredible drinkability factor. Quite possibly the smoothest and most refined barleywine style ive ever had. An incredible recommend.

Bottle picked up at Premier in Buffalo.
Pours an opaque dark brown/almost black, thick tan head, tons of lacing, settles to a thick layer, looks nice. Smell is sweet, caramel, chocolate, citrus/floral, big hops and big malt, light roast, pine, bread, super balance. Taste is similar, toffee, citrus and floral, sugary, pine, molasses, chocolate, solid bitterness, but nice balance. Mouthfeel is medium to thick bodied with low carbonation, very smooth, warming. I really liked this one, almost like Bigfoot.

Inflatablechair brought over this gem tonight... funny, I took this off my trading wants in the last couple weeks because I just never got any bites for it and it was not really high on my list of priorities... but tonight, Sammy decides to pull it from his cellar... karmic, prophetic and wonderful. Thanks buddy..
Into my Old Guardian goblet... 1/2" lite tan head.. okay retention atop a deep walnut brew that is pretty clear.
Nose shows big caramel with a surprising amount of citrus hops for a brew that is at least a year old... nice dark fruit presence makes me think figs and dark raisins.
Flavor is a rich mash-up of dark fruits, toffee, and hints of roasted malts... a little cocoa comes in with some brown sugar sweetness.. again some pronounced CCC hoppiness lets you know that the Norwegians were swimming for American shores... with warmth a little dark cherry essence mixes with the figs and other fruits.. but the hops are actually the big finisher.
Great body is a bigger medium... carbonation is nice but a tad big bubbled... honestly a bit too rich for more than a nice glass... glad I had a good friend to share this one with.
I really liked this one... it immediately reminds me of the older vintages of Old Boardhead...
Very cool Sam.. I truly appreciate this one.

Bought recently from Tower in Atlanta.
Pours dark brown, very close to black, with a cream-colored head that dissipates into a ring. Darker than an average barleywine.
Doesn't smell like a normal barleywine, there's a lot more coffee, and you can slightly smell the alcohol.
Following the above trend the taste isn't much like a normal barleywine either. It isn't very sweet, and the coffee notes are more prevalent than anything else. There's also a slight bitterness at the end. Somehow it all works very well together.
The mouthfeel is pretty thick - the carbonation is just enough to release the flavors.
This beer is very good. I'm not sure when it was retired, but it seems as if the hops (if they were there much) have calmed down and the other flavors have stepped up to replace it. Very drinkable, definitely a sipper.
I would recommend this as a good beer, just don't expect a traditional barleywine.

drinkability: fine

500ml bottle poured into tulip 9/4/13
A dark brownish amber with enough clarity to see a 1/3 of the distance to the other side under the foam, looks thick with some bubbles struggling to stream up the side of the glass. Some random chunks floating around and a very long lasting light brown head leaves plenty of random unorganized lace deep down the glass
S piney citrus rind and a heavy blast of caramel, herbal hops and faint coco powder mix with some faint booze and dark bread
T a slight nutty aspect seems out of place but works, more malty sweetness mixing up with some piney rind, old DIPA or a young BW you tell me,some faint milk chocolate s it wrms
M thick and syrupy with low carbonation but enough for it to work, sticky on the lips with a bitter kick, rind, burnt brown sugar and pine resin lingers long on the finish
O some dark malt notes add a strange mix to this brew, to me it seems lost between styles or perhaps I caught it at an awkward age, either way I like it a lot but would rather have it super fresh or in a couple years
pretty solid brew with a well hidden 10% waiting to kick your ass, still pretty hoppy for a BW and the malt has some dark notes that I don't think works against it but leaves something unique in your glass. Not only am I going to grab one for long term aging I'm going to look for a fresh batch out of hopped up curiosity

Pours a coca-cola-lish brown with some dark garnet highlights. Pretty light beige head that slowly recedes with each sip. The aroma is very complex, lots of dark malty nuts with some soft plum juice, and maybe some caramel. The taste is very heavy on the dark fruis. Roasted prnes, baked cherries. A splash of roasted malts gives a grainy bread taste and texture. Very warm nd fruity palat, and actuly becomes a little winey as it warms. Great sipping beer and a great dark barely wine form the Norse.

500 mL bottle poured into a CBS snifter, which I thought would surely contain it. It didn't.
Appearance - Overflows instantly as I pour it. Huge khaki head that screams some sort of problem. Murky body with excellent lacing, I suppose.
Smell - Sour apples and hops. Nothing very barleywine-ish. It does take a couple of sniffs to confirm that it's infected. Hefty hop notes, even over the apples.
Taste - Tangy at first, then hoppy and even a touch of caramel. I must say it doesn't taste awful, but it isn't worth the liver damage.
Mouthfeel - Still pretty thick and mouth-coating. The bitterness is out of balance because of a lack of sugar and an unpleasant twang in the flavor, but it still isn't undrinkable.
Overall - A bad bottle, I'm sure, but it's the only one of these I've ever had, so this is how I'll review it. A drainpour, but it isn't the worst infected bottle I've sipped.

A: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a brown color and a thick, muddy consistency. Some floaties. There was a half inch of creamy, long-lasting head. Good lacing.
S: Smelled of hops, malt, and a little caramel.
T: Tasted of chocolate malt, caramel, hops, and some yeast. A nicely balanced flavor that gets better as it goes along.
M: A good amount of carbonation with a mostly dry finish. Medium-bodied.
D: A very well made barleywine. Drinkable.

500 ml bottle. Served in a snifter, the beer pours a murky brown/red color with about an inch and a half tan head. Head retention and lacing are both good. Aroma is nice, it smells like brown sugar, caramel, dark fruit and some citrusy hops (grapefruit, apricot). It tastes like toasted/grainy malt, grassy and citrusy hops, and a bit of dark fruit. There's also a long lasting bitter hoppy finish. The hops overpower the malty flavors in this beer. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a bit creamy and is well carbonated. Drinkability is decent, it's not hard to drink at all. I think it's an OK enough brew, but I don't think it's something I'd buy very often.

Pours deep amber, almost black with a light tan head. In the aroma, hoppy and somewhat plummish. In the taste, plum, caramel and just a nice hop presence backing it up. A smooth, malty mouthfeel and a dry small hop and small plum in the aftertaste. Somewhere between an IPA and a barleywine. Color threw me off, but otherwise really great.

4.43/5 rDev +9.9%
Deep, dark, thick brown pour with lots of activity carrying up the tan top to a tall inch of puffy fresh foam that fades at a fairly faster then expected pace. But thats OK as it leaves large stretchy patches of lace and a big skim of tan residue always present. The color sits a nearly coffee black and deceptively opaque. A great looking barleywine, albiet not the typical tawny brown color one would normally associate a BW, but this is Nogne and they seem to have a tendency to push it a bit and create the effect of a stout instead.
Aroma is fairly roasty with that certain malty roundedness in some toffee, caramel, and a bit of raisin. Hops are deeply noted on larger wiffs with a dark piney influence mixed with a newly charred hop field of burnt hop cone edges. Good amount of alcoholic breath seeps its way thru as its cinders in the glass.
Flavors are all twisted up in a fine amount of hoppy pineyness and dark orange pith, tang, and peel. Malts balance it out with some nice roastyness, chocolate hints, toffee, caramel, snappy fresh barley grain with a toasted quickness that never retreats from the palate as the hops take the tongue and scrap across any open areas left with pine and orange biten bitterness. Semi brittle dry finish with a nice hop load balancing off with a bit of residual warmth. Notes of raisin skins and vanilla flow in and out in the middle. Ends nice and hoppy with a dryness reminiscent of toasted orange peels...as if there were such a thing.
Feel is smooth and big with a nicely handled approach to the hops as its bitterness is suited just right with enough zip and lasting impression as the malt keep it all together maintaining one fine tuned addition of toasted roast and caramel goodness.
Nearly gone in no time flat. Way too drinkable for 10%. Much like other great Barleywines, this stuff hits ya late and the next thing you know you can't remember where you put your glass as you try to find your slippers so you can go to bed. Nogne has another yummy winner with this one!

A - Beautiful deep mahogany. Nice off-white head with great retention and lace.
S - Amazingly savory. Bright turmeric, salt, cumin.
T - More like a savory lamb dinner than a beer. Turmeric and coriander are loaded throughout the profile. Dried garlic. Black pepper. Onion salt. Subtle backdrop of malt. Tastes just like Guyanese pepperpot.
M - Medium light body. Savory / bitter finish.
O - A beer out on a limb, and it manages to pull it off. Well executed and well balanced.

Pours light brown with a two finger light tan head that holds together very nicely and leaves lots of lacing. Can already tell this is going to be fun.
Big time aroma of hops up front, some citrus, some earthy but also plenty of sweet malts, caramel, some brown sugar and a few fruity notes. Quite complex on the nose.
Flavor starts with sweet caramel malts, brown sugar, hints of vanilla, some chocolate, then follows with some bitter resinous hops on the finish. Perfect in balance however. Not too much of either.
Mouthfeel is very full and smooth, above average carbonation for the style, but not too much by any means.
Perfect style English Barleywine although I dont think it quite fits the style. Its really just a good strong ale. Hopping is great, maltiness is great, just a great balanced strong ale. Nogne has some hit or miss, and you dont want to miss for the price tags, but this is a winner; an immensely enjoyable and unique brew.

Pours a hazy, medium brown with a marshmallow-like, pale tan head. Great head retention.
Well balanced aroma with resinous, piney American hops coming through. Good citrus as well with the more bitter grapefruit predominant. Deep, burnt caramel combines with a light cocoa as well. Really nice, if only it was a bit punchier.
Deep, toasty caramel sits on the tip of the tongue along with hints of bitter chocolate and a slight roast. Deep raisins and figs bring out a nice dark, sticky fruit character which is tied together by the citric hops to elevate the fruity character of the beer. A strong lingering bitterness starts through the mid-palate and has good hold even a few minutes after finishing the sip. The back palate has a bright sweetness which livens the drink.
A thick body here helps to deliver the flavours of the outstanding beer with the slightly below average carbonation just helping to give this vibrancy without dominating the beer.
The flavours here are so good and the alcohol is well hidden making for a very drinkable beer that any brewer should be proud to produce. My first Nogne O beer and I am very impressed.

500ml Bottle from the Ottawa LCBO for 6.75$
Appearance - Slightly hazy brown colour with a small size fizzy beige coloured head. I can't make out the level of carbonation showing and there is some decent lacing. The head lasted for over 5 minutes.
Smell - Hops, malts, grapefruit
Taste & Mouth - There is a below average amount of carbonation and I can taste caramel and malts mixed with hops. There is also some notes of chocolate and dark fruits. It ends with a sweet malty aftertaste with a hop bitterness and some heat from the booze.
Overall – Lots of different flavours going on and I can feel the booze almost instantly. This is a really good barley wine that I hope gets even better with age. I tucked a few bottles away to see how it develops.

A- Big two-fingered off-white head on a dark brown body. Awesome head retention and lacing.
S- Big whiff of earthy hops
T- Lower hop profile than the nose would indicate, still there though.
M- Medium to medium thick mouthfeel. Medium carbonation.
D/O- Solid interpretation from Nøgne Ø. Glad they brought it back and at a nice price point ($9) to boot. Would buy again, recommend for barleywine lovers.

A: Pours a dark ruby/brown color. A large beige head rises to over two finger, and has great retention. Lots of sticky lace is left behind.
S: A floral, leafy, herbal hop aroma is up front and strong. A light grapefruit bitterness. Lots of other fruity flavors linger as well. A great caramel malt sweetness balances everything out. A really complex nose.
T: Lots of hops, but it is never overly bitter. Floral, grassy, herbal hops again. A light sweetness lingers.
M/D: A medium body and carbonation. Dry and crisp. Soapy and oily from the hops. Easy to sip on. I am enjoying this bottle.
This is an excellent American Barleywine. Tons of hops without being overly bitter and some sweetness for balance. Something I highly recommend.

A: poured a very dark brown in color with brown highlights that had a thin bubbly head and left a little lacing sticking to the glass.
S: lots of caramel come out on the aroma with some good hoppy notes and lots of sweetness from the malts. There was quite a bit of booze as well.
T: the caramel also dominated the palate with a mild hop bite but had sweet malty and boozy accents.
M: the brew was medium in body with a low amount of carbonation which had a sweet, boozy, malty, and sticky finish.
D: I thought it was a soild barleywine and the hops weren't overwhelming this is the way I like'em. It was tasty but was a sipper faux show.

Earlier this afternoon, we posted a question on our Facebook page asking fans the question, "Who is America's Team?" The question is always polarizing, but one commentor in particular caught our eye. The comment read, "Cowboys. Ask Siri. She'll tell you."
This comment piqued our interest, so we had to get to the bottom of this.
The easiest way was to dig out the ole iPhone and ask Siri the question. The answer that came back was remarkable. "Here's the roster for the Dallas Cowboys," Siri responds.
Don't believe us? Here is the photographic evidence:
Well, there you have it.
If Siri brings up the Dallas Cowboys then that is the answer we have to go with, but we know that this is a debate that will never die.
Fans around the league hate on the Cowboys' "America's Team" nickname and point towards the arrogance of the organization to accept the title. What they fail to mention is that the Cowboys didn't give themselves the nickname — it came from an NFL Films project. That doesn't change the public perception, however.
While fans will never agree on an answer to this question, we would like to see the debate continued in our comments section.
Be sure to sound off on who is or isn't America's Team below and let your voice be heard.

"relentlessly action-packed" -.-
In other words, more of the same which is hardly a surprise.
The bad guys blew up a planet in the last one, how much bigger do you get from that?
Hardly an earth shattering revelation! You have a young fit crew to hand so I think you're going to exploit that.
And thank goodness for his Batman remark...............there's no need for every franchise to ape that. Course, who knows, if there's 'serious issues' cropping up as well.
The last movie found a balance between dark moments, like the death of Kirk's dad, with light moments. I expect the sequel to strive for that same balance.
Sure, action scenes are good! But relentlessly action-packed is too much for Trek, I think. It shouldn't be Transformers or Matrix III ;)
