Eau Claire (WQOW)- The price at the pump has been dropping and the trend could continue.
Right now, we are paying $3.39 a gallon in Eau Claire. Across the country, the average price of gas is $3.35 a gallon, which is the lowest that we have seen since January. Even better news, some estimates expect prices to fall another 15 to 25 cents by Christmas!

When the Atlanta Thrashers packed their bags and became the Winnipeg Jets, the NHL knew they had to make changes. Realignment became a necessity and the process wasn't going to be easy. That was proven in late 2011, when the players rejected the owners proposal for realignment, thus striking the first blow in what eventually led to the lockout.
Now the issue has been raised yet again. The latest realignment proposal as reported by Elliotte Friedman of CBC, is a drastic change from how the current divisions look today. Instead of six divisions, the NHL has proposed four conferences. Atlantic, Central, Midwest and Pacific. Here's what's good and what's not so good about this proposal.
The Jets are in a division in their own time zone. It never looked right to see Winnipeg in the same division with Florida, Tampa Bay, Carolina and Washington. Believe me, I've lived in Manitoba for most of my life and we're anything but southeast. The Jets will have natural geographical rivals Minnesota and Chicago in their conference which could start new rivalries which is lacking right now, as the Jets continue play in the Southeast.
Detroit and Columbus go east. The Red Wings have been longing to play in the Eastern time zone for a number of years. Detroit also gets to renew their rivalries with Original Six counterparts Montreal and Toronto. Many forget that the Red Wings and Canadiens had a fierce rivalry in the 1950s. Columbus has never been comfortable in the west, so they are hoping a move the eastern ledger can improve their fortunes as well as their travel.
Divisional play will be more focused. In the 1980s, divisional play meant everything. Games within the old Smythe, Norris, Adams and Patrick divisions produced some of the most memorable hockey ever played. Divisional games were intense, hard-fought affairs that gave way to some of the best rivalries in the sport. With this realignment proposal, divisional play will once again become paramount to a team's success.
The Not So Good:
The imbalance of the conferences. 16 teams in the East, 14 teams in the West. It doesn't take a math genius to figure out the numbers don't add up. This immediately makes me think that expansion is on the horizon. All that expansion does is further dilute the product. And where will the NHL expand to? Seattle is a likely destination. After that it' uncertain. My guess is Kansas City, as they can play in the West and have a new state of the art arena with no tenant. But that's another debate for another time. If the NHL doesn't expand, then the Western teams have an unfair advantage in making the playoffs. Eastern teams have a right to be upset.
The playoff format is terrible. I'm not a fan of the wildcard system in the NHL. I do like wildcards in the NFL and Major League Baseball, but not in hockey. The format itself will get some time to get used to, and maybe I'll warm up to it. But I don't see the advantage of Chicago possibly playing Anaheim or Los Angeles in the first round, while trying to promote divisional play. They might as well stick to the current playoff format if that's the case.
This one is personal but, I wish the Jets were in the same division as Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. I would love to see the four Western Canadian teams in the same division. It would reignite the old Smythe Division feuds, as well as give Western Canada something to talk about. However, I understand the travel constraints would hurt the teams, as there is a two-hour time difference between Winnipeg and Vancouver. Still, it would be fun to see the old Smythe division reunite.
The Southeast division gets screwed. With the exception of Winnipeg, the other teams in the Southeast will have to travel more, and face a much tougher schedule in making the playoffs. Florida and Tampa Bay would be in a division with Montreal, Toronto, Detroit, Boston and Buffalo. That will make for long road trips to northern climates. Carolina and Washington don't have it quite so bad, but fewer trips to Florida while more trips to the Northeast, could prove to be troublesome.
One last note. The NHLPA still have to approve realignment before the governors can put the rubber stamp on it. So there still could be some changes, or a dramatic new proposal could still be put forth. Stay tuned.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Monday was the last day to register to vote for this year's election.
Election Day is now less than a month away. Some people waited until the last minute to register to vote.
"It's what we expected, but until you're here on the front lines seeing it, it's hard to get your head around," said Knox County Administrator of Elections Cliff Rodgers. "It's the first presidential election, of course, that I've been working."
One person registering to vote said the deadline caught her off guard.
"I didn't know today was the last day. I moved from Seymour to Knoxville, so I had to come and re-register," said Kathy Schaffer.
By noon Monday, election officials had already registered more than 100 additional voters and received more than 100 phone calls in the Knox County office alone.
"If this was not a presidential election, we would not have this type of rush to get registered. This is the fifth election I've worked and there's a voter registration deadline in all of them, but we've not had anything like this, even for the March presidential preference primary," Rodgers added.
The goal was to have everyone on the registration rolls prior to the start of early voting, which begins October 17.
"They don't have to have the voter registration card to vote. As long as they're registered, they're going to be ok, but they do have to have the photo ID issued by the federal or state government," said Rodgers.
The process doesn't take long, but if you missed Monday's deadline, you're out of luck for this election.
"Go ahead and register, but they won't be able to vote in the November 6 election. We'll go ahead and get them registered for the next election here," Rodgers explained.

Special areas
Open waters
Handling a vessel at sea
The way a boat handles at sea will depend on:
- Its hull design and strength.
- The amount of power used to propel it.
- Wave direction.
- The way the boat is steered.
- Weight distributed in the vessel.
When boating along the coastline, particularly when close to a shoreline, be aware of bomboras. Bomboras are shallow areas such as those created by rocks or reefs that cause waves to break.
It is advisable to check maps and charts, talk to locals and be aware of the existence of bomboras. The danger posed by these formations can be higher in good weather, as a bombora may not be identifiable because it may not always have breaking waves.
Boaters need to be cautious anywhere bomboras may exist.
Head seas
Generally, the best way to tackle bigger waves is to take them bow on or about 30 degrees off each bow.
Too much power will result in the boat leaping over the crests and crashing down into troughs. This slamming action is not good for either the boat or the people on board.
Too little power may mean that the waves break onto or over the vessel.
Control the speed and direction steered to achieve the most comfortable and safest ride.
Beam seas
The danger from travelling beam on to waves is that rolling is increased. The amount of rolling can be reduced by varying the angle to the seas.
The bow is the strongest part for taking on waves. Make sure everyone is wearing lifejackets
Watch out for waves that are larger than others and consider changing course or speed to ride over or with it.
Following seas
Travelling with a following sea has the greatest potential for disaster, with broaching sideways and swamping/capsize a real possibility. Steering power is reduced by following seas and judicial use of the throttle controls is critical.
As in crossing a bar, you should attempt to maintain a position on the back of waves, using throttle to keep ahead of waves breaking behind the boat.
Remember when conditions worsen
- Ensure all persons are wearing lifejackets.
- Ensure the boat is as watertight as possible.
- Use throttle control and steering to reduce the impact of waves.
- The bow of a boat is the strongest part for taking on waves.
- If caught in rough weather, report your situation to rescue authorities.
- Secure all moveable items in the boat so that they do not become missiles.
- Ensure all people are holding on firmly.
- Have an EPIRB ready for use in case of capsize.
- Stay with the capsized boat unless you are very close to shore.
Handling a vessel in rough weather/hazards
Like other hazards on the water, rough weather can generally be avoided by obtaining a weather forecast prior to setting out.
A sudden unpredicted squall, however, can catch even the most careful boater, so you should always prepare and plan for the worst and keep a good lookout for telltale clouds and white cap waves.
If you are close enough, run for the shore, a safe harbour or the lee of an island, where the wind cannot generate large waves.
Sudden squalls usually only last for a short period and sometimes precede a change in wind direction, usually blowing at much stronger speeds than the wind that will follow.
The main thing is to keep a speed sufficient to allow you to steer the vessel, but no faster. Without power to maintain steerage, a vessel will drift side on (beam on) to the sea and be vulnerable to capsize.
A sea anchor or a strong bucket tied to the bows will help to keep you pointing into the waves should your engine fail.
When on the water, seaplanes are just like any other vessel. They are subject to all the restrictions and privileges of other boats and conduct their operations accordingly.
Don't be alarmed if a small seaplane alights or takes off in the waterways near you. Seaplane pilots are specially trained and qualified to operate upon the water. Like other boat operators, they hold marine boating licences to operate a vessel at speeds in excess of 10 knots.
Avoid making sudden changes of direction which might confuse the pilot or obstruct the seaplane's path.
Bar crossings
Shallow sand bars which can form at the point where rivers, creeks, lakes or harbours meet the sea are locations for experienced vessel drivers only. Any channel through such bars can change frequently. Even in apparently calm conditions vessels can be swamped, damaged or wrecked on bars and lives have been lost.
Avoid crossing a bar on a run-out tide as this is when dangerous waves are most likely to occur.
Knowledge and experience
Do not attempt to cross any bar without experience and local knowledge. You should:
- Spend considerable time watching the bar conditions in all combinations of weather and tide.
- Cross the bar with other experienced skippers before trying it yourself.
- Obtain and read a copy of the bar crossing brochure from Roads and Maritime Services.
Preparation & planning
Prior to crossing any bar it is recommended that the following checks should be made.
- Know the times of the tide and obtain an upto-date weather forecast (especially expected wind conditions).
- Observe the bar conditions – be prepared to cancel or delay the crossing.
- If unfamiliar with the bar, obtain local advice, e.g. from the local Marine Rescue NSW unit.
- Check the vessel – especially steering and throttle controls, watertight hatches and drains. The vessel must be seaworthy, suitable for the conditions and able to take some impact from waves.
- Ensure that all loose items can be stowed away in lockers or tied down to prevent movement.
- Check that all watertight hatches can be closed and sealed properly, drain holes are free and bilge pumps work.
On the water prior to crossing
Secure all loose gear and equipment. Brief your passengers/crew about the dangers – put on a lifejacket type 1.
Check all watertight hatches are closed and secured but not locked.
Assess the bar conditions – have they changed since your last inspection?
When crossing coastal bars, you should not lose your nerve in the white water. Once committed, keep going.
Trying to turn around in the middle of a bar entrance can be disastrous. Try to take waves as close to head on as possible.
Going out
The outgoing vessel must meet the incoming wave energy. Do not hit waves at high speed – an airborne vessel is out of control and can cause damage and injury. Do not allow waves to break onto your vessel.
As a guide:
- Idle towards the breaking waves watching for any lulls.
- If a flat spot occurs speed up and run through it.
- If the waves keep rolling in, motor to the break zone.
- Gently accelerate over the first part of broken water.
- Apply more power and run to the next wave, heading for the lowest part (the saddle) if possible because this is the last part to break.
- Back off the power just before meeting the next swell.
- Pass slowly through the wave and accelerate again to the next wave.
- Repeat the process until through the
break zone.
Coming in
Be aware the conditions may have changed.
If dangerous, consider alternatives:
- Wait for conditions to abate.
- Wait for change of tide.
- Seek alternate safe harbour.
The vessel should travel at the same speed as the waves. The aim is to travel in on the back of a swell, staying ahead of waves breaking behind the vessel.
You should:
- Approach the break zone and try to pick the spot with the least activity.
- Keep any leads in transit; breakers may obscure your vision of the entrance.
- Choose a set of waves suitable for your entry.
- Position the vessel on the back of a swell and maintain speed, ensuring that:
- You do not overtake the wave and run down its face.
- You stay ahead of any wave behind you.
- When the wave ahead of you has broken, accelerate through the white water.
- Beware of steep pressure waves bouncing back off the entrance or shore.
- Adjust speed to counter any pressure waves or any outgoing current.
Roads and Maritime Services has a number of initiatives on bar crossings including the brochure Bars 'n' Boats – A Safety Guide, a list of coastal bars and a bar crossing safety checklist sticker.
Roads and Maritime Services also has a network of web cameras to assist in trip preparation. Check the RMS website for up-to-date information at 15 locations along the NSW coast and in the alpine area.
|Check the conditions before you cross ... this skipper made it, just.
Inland waterways
Boating on inland waterways such as rivers, creeks and dams demands special care. Many of these areas present issues not encountered in coastal waters, including submerged trees and other snags.
Inland waterways are often murky and constantly changing; if you don't have a depth finder play it safe and reduce speed.
Familiarise yourself with the area using maps and wherever you can, talk to local operators. They can often provide valuable knowledge such as how the current runs after rain and water depth following drought.
Keep a good lookout for objects ahead or above you, such as overhead powerlines and low level bridges.
Strong currents in major rivers and creeks can flow at fast rates and affect the manoeuvrability of vessels. Never underestimate the power of even a moderate current, which can exert a strong force that may trap vessels such as canoes against rocks. Extra caution is required following heavy rain or flooding.
Be careful in dams subject to water releases and stay well clear of spillways. These can be extremely dangerous due to turbulence as the water flows through spillway gates. Boats can easily become caught in the turbulence and trapped.
Also remember that during release periods the foreshore can become soft, trapping vehicles during launch and retrieval.
Rivers and dams may look peaceful, but low water temperature and remote locations could prove risky should trouble occur.
Remember not to overload your vessel.
Wind and waves
The surface of the water in shallow dams and storage areas can become extremely rough in windy conditions. Waves are generally short and steep, and can be as high as those encountered in coastal areas.
- Always get a wind/weather report before boating.
- Keep a constant lookout for signs of:
- changing weather
- white caps/disturbance on the water
- cloud development.
If the conditions deteriorate, put on your lifejacket and head for shore. Remember it is better to be on the shore a long way from home, than a long way from shore in such conditions.
If you are going to go boating in remote locations, have a good reporting plan in place. Always tell someone where you will be launching from and going, how many people are with you and when you intend to return.
Phone or radio coverage is not always possible, making assistance difficult if problems occur.
Alpine waters
Alpine waters mean Lake Burrinjuck, Lake Eucumbene, Lake Jindabyne, Khancoban Pondage, Swampy Plains River, Mannus Lake, Pejor Dam, Yass River, Googong Reservoir and navigable waters within Kosciuszko National Park (including Blowering and Talbingo Reservoirs).Alpine waters present their own unique boating challenges. As with other inland waters, many hazards are not marked and as water levels fluctuate, more hazards may develop just under the surface.
The most common vessel operated in these areas is the small open runabout which is reasonably inexpensive to buy, easy to tow and used as a fishing platform. The majority of these vessels, however, are designed for calm water conditions only.
Wearing a lifejacket is compulsory for all persons in a vessel less than 4.8 metres in length. For other situations refer to page 20.
Alpine weather
There is no specific boating forecast provided by the Bureau of Meteorology for alpine waters. Any person boating in those areas needs to review the available general weather conditions and forecasts and determine how they may affect the waterway they propose to operate on.
Remember that weather conditions in high altitudes can change dramatically within a matter of minutes and proper trip preparation is essential.
Cold water
Winter brings a greater risk of hypothermia to boaters exposed to the elements. Capsizing in cold water can be life-threatening. So plan and prepare to avoid hypothermia:
- Minimise your capsize risk.
- Check the weather. If in doubt, don't go out.
- Wear warm and wet weather gear.
- Wear a lifejacket.
- In the water, don't swim. Remain with your craft in the "huddle" position.
- Remember, alcohol increases the body's heat loss.
Sydney Harbour
Sydney Harbour is a unique waterway that is used extensively by a diverse range of recreational and commercial boats including large ships, ferries, charter boats, cruisers, yachts, runabouts, sailing skiffs, dinghies, sailboards, rowing shells, kayaks and dragon boats.
The Harbour is an extremely busy waterway that requires you to be aware of your responsibilities and to take care when boating, especially in busy navigational channels, and make allowances for commercial activity.
There is a need to consider paddlers, rowers and sailors as well as accommodating the needs of commercial operators and those wishing to cruise, ski and fish on the Harbour.
The number of vessels on the Harbour is increasing each year, providing a greater challenge in managing the potential for additional conflict and incidents to ensure safety on the waterway.There is a continuing need for an understanding and commitment to water safety by all people using the Harbour. The different types of boating may not always be compatible and can lead to potential conflicts: for example, people sailing in organised events and commercial vessels operating to timetables.
Sydney Harbour Bridge Transit Zone
Roads and Maritime Services has established the Sydney Harbour Bridge Transit Zone. The transit zone has a 15 knot maximum speed limit in the vicinity of the Harbour Bridge, between a line drawn between Bennelong Point, and Kirribilli Point to Millers Point and Blues Point but does not include Walsh Bay, Sydney Cove or Lavender Bay north of a line between Blues Point and the southern extremity of Milsons Point ferry wharf.
Within this zone, anchoring or drifting are prohibited other than in an emergency. This means that vessels may only travel through this area to reach an area alongside or outside of the transit zone.
Priority Over sail
Some commercial ferries on Sydney Harbour display an orange diamond shape which grants priority (right of way) over sailing vessels. This is an exception to the 'power gives way to sail' rule.
Do not attempt to cross the path of an approaching ferry displaying this signal.
High Speed Ferries (on Sydney Harbour)
These craft carry the normal lights for a power driven vessel underway and, in addition, they exhibit an all-round flashing yellow light when they are travelling at speed.
Sydney Harbour Control
VHF Ch16/13 (24 hrs). Nav warnings/Met broadcast VHF Ch13 (5 min. past the hour). Unless otherwise directed, sailing vessels and motor vessels are not to impede the passage of commercial shipping/naval vessels inside the shipping channels. Navigation Collision Regulations 1983 apply.
Big ships and small boats
Large vessels are restricted to particular channels and cannot deviate from their set course. These vessels are restricted in their ability to alter their course due to their size and need a large area to turn and stop. Their stern swings out wide when negotiating a turn and they lose steerage if they travel too slowly.
The main safety tips for small boats around shipping and ferry channels are:
- Recreational boats, both power and sail, should keep well clear of large vessels and ferries.
- Do not cross ahead of large vessels or ferries unless well clear. Even when hundreds of metres away, your boat may disappear from the ship master's view from the bridge.
- Remember, large vessels tend to travel much faster than they appear to be – give yourself plenty of room.
- Do not cross close astern of a large vessel or ferry.
- Always keep to the starboard side of a channel.
- Do not cross a channel if you are going to impede a vessel which has to use the channel.
Roads and Maritime Services provides more information regarding big ships and small boats on its website, including map sections showing the shipping channels. Visit the RMS website.
Channel blocked/closed
These signals mean vessels should NOT navigate in that part of the channel.
- Bridge span blocked
- Channel is blocked
- Port closed
Active radar reflectors
Active radar reflectors emit a signal to nearby radar receivers. The signal is amplified and returned to the transmitting vessel.
This makes vessels more visible on radar receivers from greater distances and may reduce the chance of being involved in an incident. It may also assist rescue operations in the event of an incident.
Active radar reflectors need to be mounted high enough on a vessel to be effective (e.g. up the mast) and they require a power source. Consequently they may not be suitable for some smaller vessels.
While ARR are not mandatory on NSW navigable waters, they may be a good inclusion to improve your visibility to other vessel operators.
Recreational boat users beware
- It is important recreational boaters maintain a proper lookout at all times and do not impede any commercial vessel in its navigation.
- Recreational boaters must make clear their intentions to an approaching vessel well in advance. For the master of a large ship who is unclear of your intentions, you should indicate that you are getting out of the way of a large vessel at least one kilometre in advance of that vessel.
- It is important that you do not anchor in the navigation channel.
- Ensure that at all times you can be seen clearly. Dull aluminium tinnies can be difficult to see, especially in overcast and poor conditions. Wear bright clothing and be seen. After sunset and in restricted visibility ensure you have the correct navigation lights fitted and they are in proper working order. Your lights must be bright and must be visible for a distance of kilometres. Lights not only tell the other vessel what sort of vessel you have, but also what you are doing and where you are going. Make sure that if someone 'interprets' your lights, they are getting the right message.

Appearance: LIght haze in an orange-rust body, big head, slow fade, symmetrical and admirable lacing.
Smell: Raw citrus and vegetable funk. Tart, with a little sweet fruitiness in the background. Light grains.
Taste: Smooth yet citrusy and grainy. A little bland, maybe? A quencher to be sure, nothing really wrong with it, just needs more flavor.
Drinkability: Middle of summer beer, no problem, lacks definition of flavor.

3.83/5 rDev +13.3%
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass
A: Beautiful clear ruddy brown color with a reasonably good white head that fades quickly to a thin white layer of bubbles. Light lacing.
S: Light malt on the nose, caramel mostly.
T: Light caramel toasted malt is prominent leaving a sweetness on the tongue. There is little bittering noticeable at all until the finish where there is just enough for a quick finish and then back to a lingering maltiness.
M&D: Light to medium mouthfeel. Not a ton of depth to the brew but it's very easy to drink. Moderate carbonation is a good match.

Celis Pale Bock by Michigan Brewing Company tastes like a beer that wants to be whiskey, and who am I to discourage such a noble ambition! I am required by the site to base the rating partially on appearance and, again, I must admit to drinking straight from the bottle. So I trust others who say it has an orangeish or amber hue, and that this is normal and correct. It smells like a fine whiskey, tastes like same and drinks like same (just "lighter", of course. After all it's a beer). I don't know whether a "bock" is supposed to taste like that, as this is the only brand of bock I've tasted so far. Carbonation is just right for this interesting and winning combo of flavors (beer meets whiskey). It's not so carbonated that it has a rough or burning finish, and it's not so flat as to suggest stale soda. The very first one I drank helped inspire two poems and a declaration of love that I came to regret the next morning. What more can one ask from a fine brew?

Served into large tulip glass from a 12oz brown bottle with a crimped on cap.
Cloudy,light copper color,creamy off-white head,very lively with lots a tiny bubbles stringing together racing to the top,with a retentative head..
A very fruity aroma,with notes of caramell and chocolate and a candy-like sweet smell.
A nice balanced taste that was nutty,fruitty.with hints of toffee,a bit syrupy a pleasing bittersweet finish thats clean and refreshing.
A medium mouthfeel,thats fizzy,slightly cloying,a bit dry at the end.
Drinkable,enjoyable,couldn't drink all night,but would enjoy more than one. Reminassant of a Cosendonk,but not quite up to par with one.
A beer i would drink again though.

3.15/5 rDev -6.8%
Dark iced tea color with orange highlights. Small off-white head. A few strands of lacing appear.
Smells floral and musty.
Taste includes notes of raisins, spices, sweet dark fruits, tart apples, caramel, and flowers. There is a little bit of an unpleasant metallic characteristic to the finish. Overall, meh; not really bad, but not good either. The flavors are pretty subdued. Not impressive. However, the flavor profile is a good example a Belgian PA, from what I understand. It's just more weak than I would like. Almost no aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is medium with ample carbonation.
I somehow accidentally ended up with two bottles of this while hurriedly mixing sixes. Ugh. I will probably drink the other one, but I predict that it will be more of a chore than a pleasure. This is not a bock by any stretch of the imagination. I don't understand why the brewery insists on labeling it as such.

Color bordering on orange and yellow, good head. Couldn't put a finger on what I was smelling, lots of stuff, old fruit, alcohol, wood, chemicals.
Taste was all over the place too, metallic, pruney, then dry apples? Unique I guess, but nowhere near as good as their white ale. Kind of a weird aftertaste too, you just never know which aspect from the profile will hit you, and they aren't consistent with any style altogether, and definitely not a bock. I mean, if you're gonna throw all that out the window, the least you could do is add some hops.

Appears a copper amber hue with an off white colored head as it dwindles fine scattered lacing clings to my pint glass. Aroma has mildly metallic tone with strong malty layers and a flowery herbal hop mix the malty nose brings a touch of alcohol with apple notes in there. Taste has a vibrant flwoing malty layer matched with herbal grassy hops a touch of caramel and tart apples in the finish very nice. Mouthfeel is medium bodied brew although the carbonation was sorta harsh it didn't hurt overall drinkability too much flavor stays on the palate it's resilient. Drinkability is good and I find this one to be refreshing and flavorful there are flaws here good be a bit smoother but I still enjoyed it definitely worth the experience...now it's time to try the new Celis brewery in Austin, TX where he'll be marketing his wit as Brussels witbier.

3.73/5 rDev +10.4%
This beer is a deep coppery orange in color. A white head stands about one finger tall without ever really fading away and leaves fairly thick, spotty lacing down the glass as the beer recedes.
There's a bit of fruity sweetness on the nose beneath a toasty malt and a touch of herbal spiciness. Overall it's a bit faint up close and could use just a bit more balance.
The flavor is also mainly sweet and spicy beneath a malt backbone. There is a bit more hops presence in here than in the nose and balances better with the toasty/bready malts. There's a bit of odd spiciness lingering with hops in the finish.
The mouthfeel starts off with a crisp bite and gets smooth in the finish, but not before hitting a rough patch of graininess. The body is on the light side of medium and carbonation is moderate.
This beer has an impressively low ABV, and given that it's pretty good overall it's highly drinkable.

S - lightly sweet caramel malts, some belgian yeast and a thin spicy finish.
T - very malty...toffee, caramel, brown sugar - slightly artificial. grains and nary a bit of hop bitterness, light metallic finish.
M - light body with firm carbonation. a little sticky.
D - well, its not awful but doesnt really fit the style at all...more like a bock (surprise). ill finish this and leave the rest for someone else.

A - Light Brown almost copper color. Appealing at first. Little head but good visual carbonation.
S - Almost no smell at all. A little malt comes through.
T - Well balanced, but very little flavor at all. Slight malty after taste. Sweet flavor stays in the mouth quite a bit
M - Very light, little actual carbonation feel in the mouth
D - Good drink-ability like a domestic light, but does make me want to drink more than 2 though.
Overall I am not a big fan.

A - Hazy orange brown that is slightly reddish in the light with lots of tiny bubbles rising to a 1/2 finger tan head. Some huge swaths of lacing coat the glass.
S - Biscuits and toast with some sweet honey and caramel undertones. The hop profile is very mild.
T - Musty and dank hop oil with big burnt caramel notes and some very bitter leafy flavors. A bit mouldy and dank. It is pretty unique, I'll give it that. Gets better with warmth as grapey fruit flavors show themselves.
M - Feels thinner than I think it should be. The finish is extremely dry and bitter. Nice.
D - This is a near miss. It's almost good, but somehow falls short.

I can only assume that Pale Bock was intitially intended to compete with Shiner Bock, as Michelob's ZiegenBock now does. But I'm not sure of that. What I am sure of is that Michigan's version is slightly different, and more harsher than Pierre's was. It has more bitterness (Pierre's was in the 22 IBU range, but this seems more like 28-30). Of course, that could just be perception due to the hardness of the water, or something else (spicing level, residual malt, etc). It does have it's good points though. It pours a deep copper color, and the creamy ivory head holds fairly well. The nose is delicately sweet with a touch of caramel malts, candyish with a hint of clove, and generically herbal and spicy. The flavor is fuller, and adds a spark of citrus that helps to enliven it; and the spicing is fuller. It's dry and herbal and spicy with yeasty phenolic undertones. Not a bad tipple. Makes a good apertif or after dinner drink.

The owner, Bobby Mason, told me this was actually a pale ale, but some quirk in Texas law requires it to be labeled as a "Bock," and most of their production is still shipped there. It's darker than the Amber Lager I had just sampled. Still and all, its profile is a rather plain beer, but it is malty and a little roasty.

Poured a dark hazy amber with a small ring of bubbly head.
Smell was musty with a touch of oak.
Taste has a grainy malt quality with a slight yeasty funk and a bit of earthy hops.
mouthfeel is light and dry.
Bland and average. Nothing I would be seeking out in the future.

Poured a rusty brown with a small foamy head. Not impressive, but too cold (I am still trying to cycle in my fridge). Nice lacing around the rim.
Smells sweet with apple the prevailing fruit.
Sweet tasting maltiness. A bit of caramel coming through. Leaves with a slight bitterness. Can definitely taste the hops in the final swallow.
Very light beer but fully carbonated.
Drinkable but probably would get overpowering after a second. Don't think I would order two in a row.

Tonight I tried the lone bottle of Celis Pale Bock that my dad brought down from Michigan for me. This is another beer from the Michigan Brewing Company in their Celis line-up. This beer is a fiery copper color when held up to a light and is very clear. A very solid stream of carbonation bubbles drifts to the top and there is a huge pillowy tan head that dissipates at a nice but not too fast pace.
The aroma was really difficult to nail down. Seems to have a really malty, almost sweet bread scent with a touch of maybe brown sugar and nutmeg. Really very unusual to get this type of aroma from a beer this color that didn't have 'Holiday' somewhere in the name. I am dealing with a touch of summer cold so I could be a bit off on this too.
Celis Pale Bock is a semi-sweet beer that has touches of maple syrup, raisin and maybe even the barest hint of cinnamon all floating around. There is a bit of lemon peel bitterness on the tail end of a swallow to round this out. I found it to be medium bodied with a somewhat dry finish. Interestingly enough, that steady stream of carbonation that you can see seems to disappear during a drink. This didn't feel flat, but it was fairly light on the carbonation which went against what the eyes tell you.
All in all, not a bad beer but it didn't do a whole lot for me. I personally think the other beers I have had in the Celis line-up are better then this one. Specifically the Celis Grand Cru and the Celis White. If I had another bottle I would actually like to compare this to the JW Dundee's Pale Bock that is routinely in the Dundee's Craft Pack sampler. I think they would probably be fairly close to each other.

Pours a clear dark orange with a small off-white head that dissipates to a film after a few seconds. Minimal lacing. Smells of sweet, honey-like malt and some grain--not a lot there, really. Tastes follows suit, with sweet, lightly roasted malt dominating a somewhat florally hoppy, spicy finish. Moderate carbonation. Actually pretty decent.

I poured into a pint glass to a small off white head. The beer is amber colored. The aroma is spicy with sweet malt. The taste is spicy up front and finishes with caramel malt. This is a pretty bland beer. I guess I could drink a lot of it if I was in the mood for something boring and tastless.

Appearence: Pours a simple copper with a thin bubbly white head. Nice carbonation and clarity.
Smell: The smell is a nice mix of rich malts and bitter, balancing hops. Some sweetness is present, with loads of fruitiness. Very complex and tasty smelling.
Taste and Mouthfeel: Simple malt flavors, balanced by simple hop flavors. Nothing over-the-top or crazy. The malt flavors are grainy, raw, and rich, balanced nicely by a little bit of hop bitterness and citrus flavors Some sweet bubblegum and cotton candy notes as well. The mouthfeel is full bodied.
Drinkability and Overall: Definitly achieved it's goal: an easy drinking, full-flavored, session brew. Nothing special or stand-out in anyways, which makes this one special, and stand-out to me. Simple, subtle, and delicious.

S - Rich caramel aroma with sweet, toasty and lightly smoky malts. Light corn and a very mild diacetyl smell is there as well.
T/M - Starts out smooth and thick feeling with a light caramel malt flavor. A sharp bitterness and carbonation bite hit and the malty flavor increases and becomes sweeter. Finish leaves sweet malts with some bitterness.
D - I see nothing "Belgian" about this beer, but for a bock I think its very good. Even has low alcohol so you can have a few.

Appears a semi-transparent copper toned amber with a 3 finger off-white head that slowly fades into a chunky head of sea foam. Sticky streaks of lacing are left around the glass.
Smell is of grain, cocoa, toffee, warm peanuts, and mild cream.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with some bitter grassiness interfering with the malty grains and cakey yeast. This needs to actually be less complex, IMO, to be a standout beer. Keeping it simple isn't always bad.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a feel akin to a small porter. Light sweetness, and a gummy dougheyness makes for an odd blend.

'This is the perfect opportunity to provide a brilliant, new community hub': What would you like to see at 80 Daws Lane?
Updated 4:33pm Friday 4th July 2014 in News By Natalie O'Neill
Campaigners have launched a bid to protect a wartime building for community use.
Seven members of the Mill Hill Residents' Association have launched a public consultation to collect ideas about 80 Daws Lane and what it could be used for once it is vacated by the Sea Cadets this summer.
Speaking to the Times Series, project manager Chris Wong, said: "We have realised there's a great lack of social facilities in Mill Hill, especially since the garden centre in Daws Lane closed.
"The civil defence building is the perfect opportunity to provide a brilliant, new community hub with lots of facilities for all ages.
"Our vision is to create a hub where people can come and socialise. There could be a cafe and an area for local artists to display their work, as well as arts and crafts and rooms for things like yoga and Pilates. These are just some ideas we have come up with but we'd really like to hear from residents to see what they would like."
People can take part in the consultation to offer their ideas for the building, and then the seven-strong team will put together a plan to pitch to Barnet Borough Council.
The two-storey building was built in 1939 as a decontamination centre in case a bomb landed in the area.
Since then the Barnet Borough Council owned property has been used for a variety of purposes including an archive centre, a temporary library and nursery school.
Mill Hill Residents Association has also successfully applied for the building to be listed as a community asset.
Mrs Wong added: "I think it's important we have a place that is non-denominational, with no political agenda in Mill Hill. The building has ticked along for some time with a variety of uses, and now we want to take it and turn it into a fabulous community hub to benefit everyone."
To take part in the consultation visit: www.millhillresidents.org.uk

Comes in a 33cl brown long neck bottle with what looks like a wolf staring out from the label. The back label tells you to drink it out of the bottle, but I didn't read that until after I had already poured it. Oops. Purity law applies. Best before 5/11/04, I opened it on 1/23/04.
Poured a nice semi-cloudy yellow gold under an off white one fingered head without the contour I would expect from a Weissbier. This head did stick around quite a while, though. The aroma is mild, but the necessary spice and wheat are certainly present. The mouth is light and quite prickly, again as it should be. The first taste impression is sweet, but the identifiables are clove and sour lemon. This sour lingers longer than the sweet, but it is a lemonade-like sour. There are no detectable hops here, leaving an aftertaste that is sweet and spicey. Not bad, but there are much better Weizens out there.

A classic German white beer. I quite enjoyed it. Served cold and the appearance, colour and lacing, was what you'd expect from this type of beer. Smooth on the finish, but nothing really extraordinary about it. Solid and drinkable.
I would look at purchasing again, but wouldn't go out of my way.

"Hopf Eisweißbier"
The bottle encourages you to drink straight from it. I decided to be an asshole and pour it into a weissbier glass. It didn't have much sediment, but it is somewhat cloudy, so maybe it is like in between a Kristalweizen and a Hefeweizen. Best before 21.04.12.
It pours a light clear gold, more like a witbier than a hefe with a big foamy white head that leaves some nice lacing.
The smell is extremely fruity and sugary. In fact it reminds me of something like Blue Moon.
The flavor is extremely light and the body is extremely light. It is very orangey. I think they got a hold of Blue Moon and tried copying it. This is kind of shite.
If you like crappier witbiers this is or you.

The thin dense head faded into a very thin collar on a hazy golden opaque color. The smell is fruity, yeasty. Wheat too. Maybe peaches, definitely citrus. The taste reveals less yeast and wheat character than expected. It's very fruity, peach, maybe hints of bananas, like gum, and not that much of citrus. The iodated aspect of some weizen doesn't appear here. The mouthfeel is very smooth and creamy. Enjoyable. I thought this beer was a bit less sweet than other hefe weizen, and with a slightly more herbal note in the aftertaste. I like it.

Student Feedback Drives New Services
In early December 2012, the Libraries launched a new and innovative service at W. W. Hagerty Library that received international press coverage and positive feedback from peers, patrons and the Drexel community. This new service was the Laptop Lending Kiosk and it all started with the request of a Drexel student.
This student was Omer Hashmi, a member of the Graduate Student Association, who had concerns about the security risk of carrying his personal laptop to his off-campus residence in the early morning and late evening hours after studying at W. W. Hagerty Library. The Laptop Lending Kiosk provided Hashmi with an opportunity to borrow a laptop throughout the evening and early morning and allowed him to safely keep his laptop at home.
Feedback is an important part of the Libraries' planning process and requests and comments from members of Drexel community are crucial in prioritizing new initiatives.
Provide input about services, staff, environments and more through our online survey at www.library.drexel.edu/input. The survey can be taken multiple times throughout the year. For more information about the Libraries' quality improvement efforts contact John Wiggins, director of library services and quality improvement.

This article is a MUST READ (props to dvdvl for putting it in the Connections). The article is largely about Calvin Pace and how the team expects big things out of him this year (maybe even double-digit sacks). They basically say that Pace should be much more productive now that he's 100%. But they also plan to utilize him more as a pure pass rusher, something they didn't do very much of these last two years apparently.
However, and more importantly, the article also delves into coaching strategies and the application of new techniques to help improve the rush overall. These golden little tidbits were shared by OLB coach, Jeff Weeks, and DL coach Mark Carrier. Here's some of what I found fascinating...
Along with Pace, the Jets will lean on veteran outside linebacker Bryan Thomas, who had a team-high six sacks last season, and third-year player Jamaal Westerman, whom they have tagged as a "designated pass rusher."
Me likes the idea of a designated pass rusher.
The team used its first two draft picks on defensive linemen, Muhammad Wilkerson and Kenrick Ellis, adding youth to the front seven. Wilkerson, who is expected to contribute right away, has been studying a DVD the coaches made with cut-ups of Pryce, whom he mimics in size and style.
Having Mo study Pryce is definitely a good thing.
Weeks and defensive line coach Mark Carrier spent hours in the film room this offseason, part of that time devoted to a pass rush cut-up reel. They watched their own players, categorizing the plays by defensive call and charting the outcomes. They broke down every one of the nearly 1,200 sacks recorded in the NFL last year, marking down the circumstance (i.e. blown assignment) and the movement used (i.e. line stunts).
Very constructive use of the down time from the lockout.
"We've added things; we've put more emphasis in our game plan and in our practice plans," Carrier said. "Doing things to get movement with our front, studying film with our guys while we have the time. I'm trying to take more of an aggressive approach at the beginning of our training camp. Let's get it in our mindset now."
This is one of the things I've particularly hoped for with our 2 new DL draft picks, i.e. movement and aggression. Mo and Kenrick are uniquely athletic for their size and we should definitely weaponize that ability. Stunt and twist these guys as much as possible. Preferably together. They'd be impossible to block. And to blitz off of that would just be devastating.
The coaches have added more pass rush drills to the meat of the padded practice... One focus for these drills, gleaned from the offseason film review, is working with their defensive front on converting from a run stance to a pass stance more quickly, Weeks said. When the defenders can tell the opponent is going to throw, they need to go at the edge of the offensive linemen's bodies instead of straight ahead, allowing them to use their pass rush moves more effectively and create inside pressure.
This is one of the things that personally drove me nuts last season. You'd see Pouha and Devito be virtually unblockable in the run game. Owning one-on-ones, slipping through double... they would just constantly wreak havoc against the run all game long, game in and game out. I could never understand how they could be blocked so easily when pass rushing. Perhaps it was a just a simple matter of technique, and emphasizing and drilling that technique in practice.
These coaches, under the guidance of Rex and Pettine, are the best in the biz. I'm really excited about our pass rush this year. A healthy Pace, an emerging specialist in Westerman, and two stud draftees on the DL in Wilkerson and Ellis are gonna make this group pretty tough to deal with.

Now that the dust has settled, and our focus is beginning to turn towards London and our matchup against another 0-3 team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, I thought it would be a good idea to take a step back and re-evaluate where things stand. While this season is almost surely destined for a mediocre finish, and the playoffs are all but lost, there are a few things that could bode well for the future (either immediately or next season).
First, let's look at the offense. I'm not going to waste anyone's time with the QB or RB position, so let's look at the other pieces. Our offensive line is ranked 21st in the league in "Adjusted Line Yards" for run blocking by Football Outsiders, which is to say…not very good. We're even worse in pass blocking, ranked 27th. On an individual level Pro Football Focus ranked 4 out of 5 of the lineman near 0 or worse on their floating grading scale. And you'll never guess who has the highest rating: OG Brandon Fusco, who's the only lineman graded in the green through the first three weeks of the year. Charlie Johnson is the only member graded truly bad with a negative red rating. After being a Top 10 unit last season, they have regressed big time.
An extension of the offensive line; our tight ends and fullbacks have also not fared very well. Admittedly, this group is without Pro Bowler Jerome Felton, but never-the-less all tight ends and fullbacks on the Vikings, with the exception of Rhett Ellison (who has a small sample size and limited snaps) have a bad rating from Pro Football Focus, graded in the red.
The one bright spot on offense is maybe the most surprising: wide receiver. Football Outsiders ranks both Jerome Simpson and Greg Jennings in the Top 50 of all NFL Wide Receivers in their Defense Yards Above Replacement metric, which is not awesome, but not bad either. Pro Football Focus likes their performance even better though, as they both graded in the "green" with Simpson's grade ranked 22nd overall. Both players could improve upon their blocking but they are having a positive impact in the passing game. With the dumpster fire that our wide receiver corp was in at the end of last season, this is excellent news! Cordarrelle Patterson is also rated in the green, although his small sample size and limited snaps should be taken with a grain of salt. Still, there's a lot to like about the receivers this year and going forward.
Overall, the Vikings offense is ranked by Football Outsiders 25th in their Offensive Value Over Average metric, and Pro Football Focus ranked the offense 19th overall with a slight negative rating. In short, our offense is not performing as well relative to the rest of the NFL so far this season. We have given up a LOT of turnovers (both interceptions and fumbles), allowed too many sacks and are still having trouble sustaining drives. Never-the-less, we're 7th overall in Points per Game and there are some encouraging signs that things are a little different compared to last year:
20+ yard pass plays are being attempted at almost double the rate from last year
Passing Yards Per Game are up from 183.4 to 230.3
Yards per Attempt are up from 6.1 to 6.9
Rushing Attempts Per Game are up from 21.8 to 23
RB Receiving Yards Per Game are up from 13.6 to 17.3
So, if the offensive line can shore up their blocking, and Ponder and Peterson can stop turning the ball over, this offense could turn itself around later in the year. There are glimpses of improvement, but they are not there yet.
It was often said that Week 1 was lost in the trenches. And that storyline can pretty much be extended to Week 2 and Week 3. The defensive line is struggling, and the presence of Kevin Williams did not do much to shore it up. Football Outsiders ranks the defensive line 25th overall in Adjusted Line Yards allowed, and 25th overall in adjusted sack rate. This is terrible. There is not a single defensive tackle on the Vikings that has garnered a positive grade from Pro Football Focus through the first 3 weeks. In fact, Letroy Guion and Fred Evans are ranked near the bottom of the league in overall ranking (59th and 61st out of 66 respectively). Shariff Floyd is the highest rated tackle with a neutral 0.0 rating. That said, both Brian Robison and Jared Allen have positive "green" ratings from Pro Football Focus, and they have been generating a little bit of pressure over the first three games with 2 sacks, 6 quarterback hits and 21 quarterback hurries between the two of them. But we simply need better play from our defensive tackles. The defensive line has not been able to contain opposing team's running backs at the point of attack (allowing 114 rushing yards per game, 21st best).
Of all the linebackers on the team Pro Football Focus has graded, only one has a "green" rating through the first three weeks: Desmond Bishop, and he's had the lowest snap count by far (so take it with a grain of salt). Chad Greenway, Erin Henderson and Marvin Mitchell have been abysmal, with all three starters graded negatively and in the red. The one bright spot is Erin Henderson's ability in coverage, where he has garnered a slight positive grade, and is allowing a QB rating of 20.1 when thrown to, and only 47% of passes thrown his direction are completed. This is obscenely low and tops in the league in both stats. His run defense grade however is nearly league worst (44th out of 48). Chad Greenway has no bright spots, and he is the worst graded 4-3 OLB by Pro Football Focus overall as well as in pass rushing. This includes being compared to every single 4-3 OLB that has played at least 1 snap (folks, that is terribad). Marvin Mitchell is about average in coverage, but has been similarly terrible in run defense and pass rushing. It remains to be seen if the problems of the linebackers can be traced to the defensive-line not fulfilling their end of the deal, but either way, it isn't pretty. It would appear that the Erin Henderson experiment at MLB so far, isn't working.
Quick, take a guess who Pro Football graded most highly among all Minnesota cornerbacks. Did you guess Marcus Sherels? Because his 66 snaps last week against the Browns earned him a green grade and the highest overall rating of any Vikings CB. Take it with a grain of salt though, as it was only one game, and it was the Browns. Rookie Xavier Rhodes is having an excellent year, with another positive green grade through the first three weeks, going up against some of the league's best in Calvin Johnson and Brandon Marshall. Chris Cook is having an ok year, aside from failing to stay on the field. His slightly positive rating is being overshadowed by his negative red rating in run defense though. Pro Football Focus does not like Josh Robinson's performance as he finds himself in the red. With Chris Cook nursing a pulled groin (again), it remains to be seen who will see the field more between AJ Jefferson (who struggled on Sunday) or Marcus Sherels. But this is an up and down unit that hasn't been terribly reliable. The only other bright spot in the secondary is Harrison Smith, who also got a green grade (Sanford was in the red). The future of this secondary has some pieces to build around in Harrison Smith and Xavier Rhodes, but they will need to reload in the next couple of off-seasons to fill it out.
Overall, Football Outsiders rates the defense 19th overall in their Defense Value Over Average metric with a slightly positive score. This is likely because of the large number of turnovers they have generated, and not because of their 3rd worst Points Allowed statistic. Football Outsiders also ranks their pass defense 14th overall and their run defense 23rd overall. This defense has regressed from last season on the whole, but the secondary is beginning to take some strides forward. If we can shore up the run defense, and generate even more pressure, this defense could make major strides. Unfortunately, the team pretty much ignored upgrading the linebacker and nose tackle positions in the off-season, and our run defense is paying the price.
Special Teams
There's not a lot to say about Special Teams. Blair Walsh hasn't missed a kick yet, and is the #6 ranked kicker by Pro Football Focus overall. He and Cordarrelle Patterson are the two bright spots on Special Teams (Patterson is the #3 ranked kick returner by Pro Football Focus). Jeff Locke has a Top 11 punting average, but is still graded in the red overall by Pro Football Focus, mainly because his maximum hang time is not great and the percentage of kicks returned is also high. Therefore his net yards metric is also pretty high relative to the rest of the league (which is a bad thing). Football Outsiders is also down on the Vikings Special Teams, ranking them 21st in the league in Defense Value Over Average. Football Outsiders projects the Special Teams ranking to slip even further by Season's end, unfortunately. So, while we have an excellent kicker and returner, the rest of the Special Teams leaves a lot to be desired…too bad we spent that 5th rounder on a punter, huh?
So, the team is at 0-3, and 0-2 in the division. There are a few things to like about this team, but a lot to be upset about. We've been playing the blame game around here for the past few days, and it sure is fun. But, it's healthy to take a step back and review just what we've got as a team. If things keep going the way they have been going, it will be difficult for this team to win on Sundays (or Thursdays, or Mondays). But there are plenty of positive things that are happening, and there are some solid pieces in place to continue to build around for the future.
Skol Vikings.

Auburn completed a stunning turnaround from 0-8 in the SEC to conference champs with a 59-42 win over Missouri in the SEC championship game on Saturday, setting up a potential storybook ending at the BCS championship game against Florida State in Pasadena.
With amazing last-second victories over Georgia and Alabama, is Auburn a team of destiny? Or were the Tigers a sleeping giant that Gus Malzahn found a way to awaken?
Alabama, which lost to the Tigers on a last-second 109-yard return of a missed field goal, settles for a Sugar Bowl berth against Oklahoma. Will the Tide have something to prove, like in 2010 against Michigan State? Or wish they were someplace else, like in 2008 against Utah?
Both teams will be represented in New York City at the Heisman Trophy presentation, as Auburn running back Tre Mason and Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron were among the six finalists. Do either have a chance to win? Or will the statue go to another player with Alabama ties, Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston?
There have been significant developments in recruiting as well -- most notably four-star cornerback Kalvaraz Bessent's flip from Alabama to Auburn after the SEC championship game.

The Chargers game was a weird. From impossibly long drives to Rivers having one of his worst games ever, this game was a fluke turnover away from being amazing. Unfortunately, because of the context in which it happened, much of this was missed by a large number of fans. Because the current fad of thinking Pioli/Haley/Cassel need to be replaced is clouding their judgment, many are missing the forest for the "Cassel Sucks!!!" comments. There is a lot to this game, including some very real positives, that is being missed because it happened to cause our team to go 0-3 in a season where very little is going right. After the jump I will dissect what happened.
First of all, context is important. Remember that we are missing Berry, Flowers for part of the game, and, most importantly, Jamaal Charles. Cassel went 17/24 for 176 yards with 2 TD's and 1 INT while Rivers went 24/38 for 266 yards with 0 TD's and 2 INT's. Cassel had 7.33 Y/A and 6.84 NY/A (NY/A is net yards per attempt, which is yards per attempt that takes into account sacks). As a team, we had 27 runs for 81 yards for 3.0 Y/C. But, since we had so many people run the ball, it should be noted that McCluster had 9 carries for 45 yards (5.0 Y/C) while everyone else had 18 carries for 36 yards (2.0 Y/C).
(A note one NY/A for those who don't see it's enormous analytic power. It's calculated by taking the net passing yards, which is total passing yards minus sack yards, and dividing it by pass attempts plus sacks. What it tells you is, when Haley/Muir/whoever calls a passing play, you can expect to gain that many yards on average. But, and this is crucial, it doesn't matter how the QB got those yards. If Cassel threw between his legs on every throw, it wouldn't matter to the NY/A stat as long as they went somewhere. So this condenses all of the traits like arm strength and going through a progression to one stat that shows how how they are actually effecting the game.
But wait, there's more. NY/A doesn't care how you got those yards, as I said, but this also applies to what kind of throws a QB makes. If a QB went 10/10, but every pass was 5 yards, he'd have the same NY/A as a QB who was 5/10, but every pass was for 10 yards. So NY/A solves the question of whether short and accurate passes are better than long but inaccurate passes, because it just cares how many yards you get per attempt, which is all that really matters. So if you say that Cassel sucks because of all the short passes, but his NY/A is still good, then it means the short passes are effective.)
Those stats, by themselves, don't say a whole lot. The only real piece of information is that all our running backs except McCluster are terrible, but McCluster is too small to get more than 10 carries a game. We can also note that Cassel had a better game than Rivers as a whole, but that mainly shows how good our defense was. The interesting part of this game has to do with offense, and specifically a break down by half.
As the pessimists have noted, the first half was pretty bad. Cassel went 6/7 for 18 yards (2.57 Y/A and 1.63 NY/A), which is absolutely terrible. But it was actually much worse than you think, because we also got two interceptions in that half. The fact that we had a +2 turnover ratio but were outscored 10-0 in that first half speaks volumes. Without those interceptions, we would have been on our way to another blowout.
However, the second half got interesting. Real interesting. The reason why should already be obvious. If we were outscored 10-0 in the first half and eventually lost 20-17, that means we outscored the Chargers 17-10 in the second half. This is even more meaningful since we had a -1 turnover differential, the Chargers got the ball first and Flowers got injured. That's right, the Chargers got every break the second half, yet we still outscored them. Even more amazing, especially to the pessimists, Cassel had a good second half. Actually, he had an amazing second half.
I know that many will find it hard to believe, but it's true. The following are the Y/A (I like NY/A better, but it's harder to get, so Y/A is sufficiently good for this. NY/A would make Cassel look better since he wasn't sacked in the second half.) of Brady vs. the Bills, Brees vs. the Texans, Rodgers vs. the Bears, and Cassel's second half. See if you can spot Cassel:
1. 8.4
2. 7.8
3. 9.3
4. 8.6
Got your answers written down? The answers are 1. Brees 2. Rodgers 3. Cassel 4. Brady.
I'll be honest, even I wasn't expected that kind of blowout. Before I even looked up the numbers, I thought Cassel would get beat by at least one of them, or even all of them, but that he'd at least be comparable. I simply picked the best QB's who played last week.
Point is, Cassel's second half was awesome in the old fashioned sense (i.e. worthy of awe). In fact, if you needed more convincing, our four Cassel-led second half drives resulted in a TD, FG, TD, and INT.
So, what about that interception? Well, here's the video, which I watched a dozen times trying to figure out exactly what happened. Yes, Cassel did throw it poorly, and he should get blame, but ultimately this is not the type of throw that only bad QB's make. Even players like Brady and Manning mess up on those easy ones, especially since the play was designed so that Cassel only looked at McCluster at the last second. When this happened, Cassel saw #71 where he wanted to throw, so he had to adjust the throw mid-motion and simply over did it. The fact that Weddle happened to be there was due to just plain bad luck. Had Weddle done a better job of recognizing the screen, he wouldn't have been in position to make the interception. Had Lilja tried to block him towards the sideline instead of trying to block him upfield, the ball would have hit his back and been incomplete. In fact, if Cassel had made the bad QB throw, it would have been intercepted by #71 instead.
Ultimately, the question is why the Chiefs did so much better the second half. The offense was about as bad as you can get the first half, but suddenly became good the second half. What happened?
Well, I can't say for sure, but my best guess is that somebody, Cassel or Haley or Muir, had a revelation at halftime. Last year, when we had Charles, we could focus our entire offense around him, and as long as Cassel didn't turn it over, we could win. But now that Charles is out, we simply can't do that any more. Our running backs outside of McCluster simply aren't good enough, and McCluster can't take the pounding that we would need to put him in Charles' role. So, when they realized this, they figured our only hope was to let Cassel air it out and see what happened. We went from a run-centered to a pass-centered offense, and it paid off big time. Cassel suddenly looked like one of the best QB's in the game, and we were very close to completing the come back. I can't be 100% sure that they even changed their game plan at all, but it looked to me that they did, and that that was the biggest cause of the shift.
So is this just a fluke, or a real shift in philosophy? Hopefully it's the latter. If the team does decide to go in a more pass-oriented direction, it could end up being a blessing in disguise. Becoming a passing team is the best thing that could happen, now and for the future.There are two reasons why:
1. Passing is much more important than running in today's NFL.
2. Jamaal Charles doesn't play by the rules.
The reason for the first one is that there is a wider gap between good and bad passing teams and good and bad rushing teams. Last year, the best passing team was San Diego with 7.8 NY/A, while the worst was Carolina with 4.3 Y/A. That's a difference of 3.5 NY/A. On the other hand, the best rushing team was the Eagles with 5.4 Y/C (skewed because of Vick) while the worst was Bengals with 3.6 Y/C. That's a difference of 1.6 Y/C. So a team had more to gain from being a good passing team than being a good rushing team.
(If you don't buy that reasoning, just think about the last couple Super Bowl Champions. None of them relied solely on a good running game, while at least one (New Orleans) relied almost solely on their passing game.)
However, rule #2 allowed us to fool ourselves. With his 6.4 Y/C, running with Charles was like passing with a good passing offense. So we were the only team in the NFL that could win with a run-centered offense. And now that Charles is injured, we no longer have that luxury. If we want to get back to .500, we have to do it with a passing offense.
But what if we succeed? What if we do get a good passing game going with Cassel, and then eventually with Stanzi. While we won't do much this year, we will have a strong foundation for next year. Next year, instead of Charles being the center of our offense, he is just another piece. Defenses can no longer stop us by stopping Charles, they would have to concentrate on stopping both.
And this, to me, is a silver lining to this entire ordeal. If Stanzi pans out and turns out to even be a good-but-not-great QB, added into an offense that centers around the pass but has a running back that gets 6 yards every time he touches the ball, our offense suddenly looks good. It looks real good. But what's even scarier is that our team is built around defense, as was shown clearly against the Chargers even without Berry. So, with a pass centered offense and one of the best defenses in the league, the Chiefs suddenly look like one of the best teams in the NFL.
In the coming weeks I'll be watching Chiefs games like I watched Royals games. With the playoffs pretty much out of the picture, I won't be too concerned with whether we win or lose. I'll care more about whether our offense can do well without leaning on the run game.

Pictured above are Chief Judge Linda Ann Wells of the Florida Third District Court of Appeal, and Sanjeev Shah '12.
Sanjeev Shah, valedictorian of the 2012 evening class at the Florida International University College of Law, received one of the highest scores in the latest Florida Bar exam. Due to this, he was invited to offer a few remarks on behalf of the Bar inductees by Chief Judge Linda Ann Wells of the Florida Third District Court of Appeal.
Shah, who is principal in the Lea+Elliott, Inc. Miami office, plans to merge his legal and engineering skills to inform the firm's strategic decisions and policy making process.
We recently sat down with Shah to reflect on his time at FIU Law.
You were recently chosen to speak at the induction ceremony. What did it meant to you?
I received a call from the Chief Judge Wells' office and was invited to offer a few remarks on behalf of the inductees; as indicated to me, the invitation was due to my Bar Score being one of the highest in Florida. Personally, simply passing the Bar was achievement enough considering my full time employment as the Regional Director at Lea+Elliott, Inc. and my commitments to my wife Carolina and our soon to be 3 year old, Jay. I know many colleagues went through law school and the Bar Exam while also juggling jobs and family. This process is a marathon and one has to remain focused on the reason we chose to go down this path.
Chief Judge Wells' invitation was an honor to all inductees and I was privileged to offer remarks on their behalf. On a personal level, I was humbled and appreciative of all the support and encouragement that I received through my journey from my family, friends, colleagues and mentors at FIU College of Law.
Now that you have passed the Bar, what's next?
Throughout law school I have been employed at Lea+Elliott, Inc. I lead the firm's strategic services with a focus on transit and airport developments and access. My professional area of interest is in merging my legal and engineering skills to inform strategic decisions and the policy making process to help develop and implement critical infrastructure projects/investments such that there is an optimized return on investment – in terms of benefits to the Owner, the stakeholders, users and the community. I look forward to continued opportunities to provide value-add to the process.
On a personal level, a key motivating factor in my decision to go to law school was the United States Constitution – how a seemingly simple and short document resulted in our complex society with an unwavering commitment to individual liberties and equality before the law. I will remain engaged in our process – now as a lawyer with an ability to help resolve disputes fairly and equitably and help the less fortunate obtain equal access to justice.
Can you trace your path to FIU Law?
There were two factors that motivated me to go to law school – professional and personal. I believed that a legal education would help me more effectively contribute to our community – both professionally and personally.
I decided to go to FIU Law. It offered me an opportunity to maintain my professional career in engineering while being educated and trained to become a lawyer. It was a commitment that I could not have made without the support and encouragement of my wife, Carolina. Her constant encouragement and tons of patience made it possible for me to get through law school.
While at law school, there were many mentors within the faculty and staff who took to time to know and understood me; they provided me with encouragement and counsel. I am grateful to each of them. Many of my colleagues/classmates had similar commitments to family and employment – it is said that misery loves company, but I think they helped me keep my sanity through law school and preparing for the Bar.
Any advice for future law students?
Looking back, I offer this – balance your life, cherish your family, work hard and manage your time. Law school is a marathon – there were and will be many moments of exhaustion and an impulse to quit. During those moments remember why you started down this path – don't give up. You will find that the harder you work, the luckier you get!
