Eric Meola
Photographer Q & A
Describe the moment or event that inspired your decision to become a photographer.
My dad was a doctor and a patient of his was an engineer whose hobby was photography. One day when I was 14 years old, my dad asked his patient to show me how to make prints, and as my own hobby at the time was "magic", I will never forget the moment I first saw a print "come up" in the developer. It was an electric moment for me and I clearly remember thinking right then that I wanted to be a photographer, and that photography was magical and that somehow I was very fortunate to know what it was I wanted to pursue.
What is your favorite photography tip to share with other photographers?
I advise young photographers to read as much as they can about the places they're going to—not guidebooks, but novels and essays that verbally describe the people, the light, the smells, and the landscapes they will be visiting. In the back of my mind I always have those verbal descriptions that inspire me to turn them into visual metaphors of the place I'm trying to capture with images.
Favorite photography book and why?
Ernst Haas's The Creation is my favorite photography book because it shows you the present world and convinces you that you are looking back in time thousands of years ago to its birth. It's a landmark, monumental work of art that expanded the boundaries of color photography.
Most unusual item you keep in your camera bag?
The most unusual thing I carry in my bag is a good, old-fashioned policeman's whistle. You'd be surprised how loud those can be, and as I sometimes wander very far off on sand dunes, or in deep grass, it's not unusual to find myself in some very compromising situations. One blast and suddenly you've made your point—they're small, lightweight, don't need batteries, and really attract attention when you need it most.
Name a geographical place that you'd love to return to or go to for an assignment.
I'd love to go to the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific—geographically they're as far from civilization as you can get. It's a spectacular series of islands and the only way to get there is by freighter. Gauguin found inspiration there, and is buried on one of the islands, as is the French singer Jacques Brel.
What's the best advice you ever received from a fellow photographer?
The best piece of advice I ever received from a photographer was to shoot the light when you see it. Tomorrow it will look different, and it will never be the same. Catch it while you can, because that moment is what is "speaking" to you.
What photography project or assignment has been most meaningful for you and why?
When I was 29 years old, I gave myself the assignment of photographing Bruce Springsteen, who at the time was relatively unknown. Ormond Yard Press in London just published a large, 18X24" book of those photographs Born to Run Revisited, and it's a constant reminder of what I advise younger photographers—no one gives you freedom. You take it. That session helped put me on the map, but more importantly it made me realize that you can't sit around waiting for assignments to come your way. Some will, but the best ones are the ones you give yourself.
What current projects are keeping you engaged?
I'm working on a book of abstracts, with color as the subject. It's not just that the photographs are in color, but they are about color—there's an important difference. It's some of my most interesting work, and I'm finding that just doing this series is carrying over to my other work and informing my approach to how I see the "real world".
What's in your camera bag right now?
Right now I've got two "kits"—one is simply a Canon 5D Mark II with their new 70-300mm f/4-5.6 L IS lens. I use that when I want to look more like a tourist and when I need to travel light—say on a long afternoon walk on the streets of a city.
The other "kit" is a full setup--the above, plus another 5D Mark II body, and 24-105mm zoom, 14mm/2.8 L, 100mm f/2.8 Macro, and 300mm f/2.8 L. And more...lots and lots of gear for those times I need and want everything so I can pick and choose.
What do you love about your Lowepro bag(s)?
Camera bags are like countries—each one is unique and has its own geography. I love having as many choices as possible, because each assignment is different, and my needs are different in terms of the gear I carry. Lowepro has the widest selection, and is one of the few companies that listens to photographers—they're constantly updating, upgrading and improving their products and the result is an attention to detail which has become legend among pros.

Canon Explorers of Light
Ormond Yard Press
Showcasing a portfolio of his color images in its October 2008 issue, Rangefinder magazine referred to Eric as one of a "handful of color photographers who are true innovators." Eric Meola's graphic use of color has informed his photographs and his distinguished career for more than four decades. His prints are in several private collections and museums, including the A.S.M.P. archive, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., the International Center of Photography in New York, and the Museum of Modern Art in Munich. He has won numerous awards including the "Advertising Photographer of the Year" award from the American Society of Media Photographers.
As a Canon "Explorer of Light," Eric has lectured extensively, including such institutions as Syracuse University, Rochester Institute of Technology, Brooks (Santa Barbara) and the Art Center at Pasadena. In 2004, Graphis Editions published his first book The Last Places on Earth, a look at disappearing tribes and cultures throughout the world. In 2011, Ormond Yard Press of London published his most unusual book, the mammoth (18"x24", 14 lbs.) edition of photographs of Bruce Springsteen—Born to Run Revisited—that was limited to 500 copies. Streets of Fire, his fifth book, will be published by HarperCollins in the fall of 2012.

Senate Democrats are planning on setting up a global warming task force to revive the issue in Congress and help President Obama achieve the goals set out in his climate agenda.
Democratic Sens. Barbara Boxer and Sheldon Whitehouse told reporters on Thursday that they would launch the task force with more than a dozen members. They say they have the full support of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
"The purpose is to use the bully pulpit of our Senate offices to achieve that wakeup call," Boxer told reporters who gathered in her office. "We believe that climate change is a catastrophe that's unfolding before our eyes and we want Congress to take off the blindfolds."
"We are defending against legislative riders that would roll back environmental laws, including the president's climate initiative," Boxer said.
Boxer chairs the Senate Environment and Public Works committee where she has made several attempts to highlight the effects of global warming. One hearing the committee held with climate experts backfired when none of the witnesses on the panel could counter evidence presented by scientist Dr. Roger Pielke, who argued that global warming is not causing extreme weather.
The California Democrat also introduced a bill with Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders to tax carbon dioxide emissions and use the funds to support renewable energy development. That effort failed in the face of stiff resistance from Republicans and some Democrats.
"The goals of carbon pricing include curbing our fossil fuel use, encouraging lower carbon emissions, creating jobs and spurring innovation," Boxer and Sanders wrote in a recent oped.
"Cutting carbon pollution will help keep our air and water clean and protect our children from respiratory illnesses such as asthma. It also will help families and businesses across America save money," the Senators said. "There is a growing consensus that putting a price on carbon pollution is the most effective way to fight global warming."
While Boxer and Whitehouse say a carbon tax is still something they want to pursue, the task force will focus on protecting existing federal and state efforts to combat global warming, including imposing a national green energy standard and improving energy efficiency in federal buildings.

The D in democracy doesn't stand for dollars, but maybe it should.
"We are still raising money and we going to continue to raise money. We have a lot of fund raisers coming up," says 9th District Congressman Steve Cohen.
The congressional race that includes one of the poorest cities in the nation may generate $2,000,000 in funding the campaigns of incumbent Democrat Steve Cohen and Republican challenger Dr. George Flinn, Junior.
According to the most recent Federal Election Commission reports, both candidates have money to spend and are completely different in how they get it.
"This will be the first time that I have been outspent," claims Cohen.
Cohen relies on individual donors and political action committees (PACs). Donors have contributed $177,000, most of it coming from people living in the Mid-South.
"It does have the effect of putting you in touch with individuals, interest groups...that is something a self funder never does," says Cohen.
Political action committees have been very generous to the three term incumbent. They contributed more than $343,000 to his campaign. Groups representing the airlines, pilots, railroad concerns, employee unions and even FedEx cut checks to help keep Cohen in office, probably since sits on the House Transportation Committee
Cohen thinks it's "a smart way to finance your campaign."
Millionaire and media magnate Dr. George Flinn Jr. is almost the complete opposite. He's loaned his campaign $750,000 of his own money.
Donors have not given the former County Commissioner much, only $38,000 according to the Federal Election Commission.
Flinn is hoping for more, "I believe they will invest more in the campaign. They are investing their time. They are investing their love. They are investing their phone calls, good wishes and efforts."
Nearly half of the $38,000 came from physicians, which begs the question, will repealing the health care over haul bill will be his top priority?
"I am not about going in there with any other agenda other than jobs, providing good health care and stop the hyper-(partisans)."
Flinn has attracted little to no PAC money, only $3,000.
"I take money from PACs if we see eye to eye on things. I don't go out and try to get money from PACs, just to get money from PACs," says Flinn.

Happy with the house numbers
J from California– Verified Buyer
I have no problems with the 3 different house numbers I've ordered. They have all been great.
House numbers
Rudene from Huntington Beach, CA– Verified Buyer
These numbers look great for your house address and are easy to secure on the wall.
Big numbers, and they're great!
Victoria from MI– Verified Buyer
My contractor complained that these numbers are too big, but I love them! It's a style thing. I'm right, they're perfect!
Just Right
Anonymous from New York– Verified Buyer
These are really nice looking house numbers. They are good quality and easy to attach to the house.
A disappointment
Christine from Wichita, KS– Verified Buyer
Decent looking. The metal that this is made out of is very light so it falls over easily, if it is not anchored to the ground, if a large bird or squirrel trys to use it. The basin was lopsided & had to be bent to make it level. Glad I purchased this on sale, I would never pay full price for this. This birdbath is nice to look at but not functional as a useable birdbath. I would not recommend this item.
House Numbers
Ramon Perez from Tampa, FL– Verified Buyer
These are my favorite for that updated traditional look. The style is timeless, and offers two different ways to be installed
OUR SKU # THW1226This item is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: TRN0-BL, TRN1-BL, TRN2-BL, TRN3-BL, TRN4-BL, TRN5-BL, TRN6-BL, TRN7-BL, TRN8-BL, TRN9-BL

I bought the Sommerfeld router table and decided to use their plans for making the cabinet. I used Birch plywood for the sides and shelves. The face frame, door and drawer fronts were made from Ash, while the drawer slides were made from Poplar.
Using the Sommerfeld cabinet system made the project easy for me. But the thing that blew me away was the coloration of the Ash. This was my first project with Ash and I had no idea of the coloration. If you look closely at the pictures you can see the grain of the wood pretty clearly. But then there is this banded coloration that you could mistake for grain, but it isn't. It runs completely independently of the grain and, in some cases, perpendicular to the grain lines. I don't know if this is common with Ash or not. Anyone know?
The cabinet is on locking wheels to make easy to move around the shop. I have enjoyed using it and have gotten comments that it looked too nice to be in the shop. What is wrong with having something look nice in the shop?
-- Best Regards, Dennis

Beautiful table. It's not that your shop doesn't deserve nice furniture – it's that a lot of people don't have time to make nice things for the shop and still be able to make nice things with the shop. As they say, some people have a shop so they can build stuff, others build stuff so they can have a shop :)
I agree that the grain and colors of your ash look awesome. It looks like part of it is the transition from heartwood to sapwood… but I've never worked with ash before so all I have to say is that it looks great!

The Replacement Apps: Retiring the Obsolete
So I'm heading into my forth year with Android. In that time I've installed and used hundreds of apps across the three phones and one tablet I've had in that time.
I noticed now that apps I used to use as staples don't quite cut the mustard anymore. My usage patterns have changed or apps have just not kept up with or been eclipsed by other apps.
Here is a list of things I've used and then replaced with something else:
Alarm Clock Xtreme replaced by Double Twist Alarm
I used ACX mainly because it didn't crash on my Hero as the default alarm function did. Also the gentle gradual volume increases was a genius feature to me. Then DTA went on sale and I bought it on a whim. The interface sold me and poor ACX was replaced.
Android Pro Widgets replaced by Falcon
Going to Android 4 opened a new set of Holo themed apps to me. I used APW because I liked the HTC Sense like integration of its Timeline widget for putting Twitter and Facebook in one place. APW provided a great recreation of that and it is themeable. Well Facebook as a whole frustrated me so I deleted my account this summer and moved on to Twitter and Google +. APW then had less interest to me. Falcon is a great widget and it links right in with Tweet lanes. However I wonder if I'll leave Falcon behind if Tweet Lanes gets a widget.
With my Hero, I hated the music player. I went to MixZing which at the time was free and decent. But then the gapless playback of Poweramp along with its graphic eq blew poor MixZing out of the water.
Some people love Dolphin and it was a good browser for me. I actually used the mini version because it worked faster than the HD version. I have it installed still but Chrome works great for me. Love having my bookmarks synced and while I can do that with other browsers, I hate to keep setting up different accounts for things like that.
Swype used to be the first thing I'd install after trying a new rom or a factory reset. I thought that the sliding to type was everything. Then I tried SwiftKey and the predictions based on my own writing style actually made typing faster. To half quote JJFAD's Supersonic: it knows what I'm saying faster than I can say it. Plus, it has a few themes and there was a smaller margin of error. When Swype works well, it works well, but when it doesn't, it can be frustrating when it thinks you mean one word when you meant another.
So what apps have you replaced with better alternatives?

My family likes to tell a story about me when I was The Boy's age. We lived with my grandparents in a house with big bay windows in the living room and an elementary school down the street. Everyday, I would stand in the windows and watch the kids going to school, and I wanted very badly to go with them. One morning, my uncle convinced me it was my day to go -- only I was late! I better hurry! I had to go to school.
And I believed him. I believed myself. I was going to school. Frantic and sobbing, I couldn't understand why Mom and Grandma wouldn't let me go.
The Boy was telling me in the car today that when he was 5 he would go to elementary with his friends W and S. Our daycare has a school that goes up to 8th grade, but we plan to send the kids to public school. I figured I shouldn't set him up for disappointment, so I said, "Yes, you'll go to elementary when you're 5, but you might not go with W and S. You'll go to a school in our town and they might go someplace else."
"But S and I are going to live together," The Boy said. "We're going to live far far away, in California."
For weeks, all we have heard is how The Boy's going to live in California with his friends, W and S. They're going to have skateboards and a pool and a nice shark named Jasper who will let you ride on him. They'll wear light up shirts and light up shoes (Skat-chers, Momma) and ride on light up surfboards. Fifteen times a day, he asks when we're going to California to visit. Sometimes that question is the first thing he says to us in the morning.
We usually play along, but we also remind him gently he'll have to be older than 5, which seems to be the magic age for The Boy. Tonight, not meaning to be, I was a little more blunt.
"You can't live in California when you're 5. You'll still live with Momma and Daddy and you'll go to school here."
Silence from the backseat. I thought he was thinking it through; he does that. But when I looked in the rearview, I saw The Boy's face crumpled -- not in a prefit, silent wail, but as if someone just told him his blanky had been thrown away.
He sobbed for the entire 15-minute ride home. Every consolation I offered -- we can visit, you can pretend to live in California, the police would be mad at Momma and Daddy -- was met with, "But I wanna LIVE there! I wanna live in California." He stopped long enough to hiccup out, "I need a tissue."
At home, I showed The Boy on a map how far away California is. I got him giggling. But then he started crying again. Dinner and bath distracted him, and, as I lay snuggled with him at bedtime, he finally seemed to come to peace with it. I told him he could move to California when he was 25.
"Yeah. And when I'm older, I'll be 25 and S will be 25 and we can drive. And we'll live in California. Be we won't be 5. We're never going to be 5."
Apparently, if 5 can't deliver everything he wants, The Boy isn't messing with it.
I don't remember that morning at my grandparents' window. I don't remember crying or wanting to be one of the kids with the backpacks. I always thought the story was just a way to make fun of me, bookworm and nerd that I am. (And it probably was, a bit.)
But I get it now. That was a sincere heartbreak for me, possibly my first.
It's hard to see your child's dreams crumple, however, silly they are. I didn't know whether to laugh at or cry with The Boy as he sobbed. Once I got past my giggles, though, I realized this is just the first of many heartbreaks I'm going to have to help him get past. Helping him to rearrange his hopes is a huge task.
Thank god we get these little things to practice on.

text: I know its a little early to be talking 2011 draft...but with our team showing that legarrette blount isn't going to see the field much there must be something wrong. We all know legarrtte blount has a short temper but why haven't we seen him but three carries since the steelers game? I say we draft a talented half back with our first selection next year if not a defensive end to help pressure the quarterback!! whats your opinion what should we be looking forward too for the 2011 NFL DRAFT ???

Came across this Forbes article that was very interesting detaling the value of the top 20 college basketball teams. UNC is the most valuable at $25.9 million. UCLA ranks 13th at $15.4 million.
I found this really interesting:
Athletic conferences receive annual payments from the NCAA's central basketball fund of more than $140 million based on the number of games their teams participate in during the NCAA tournament over a six-year rolling period. These payments, which are composed primarily by TV revenue, directly reward success on the court. The *UCLA Bruins' consecutive Final Four appearances the last three years, for instance, will generate close to $18 million through 2013 for the Pac-10 conference*, which will divvy up the money amongst its members. The Bruins' recent success has helped boost operating income 30% since 2006 and increase team value to $15.4 million.
So since we brought in $18 million for the Pac 10, shouldn't we be entitled to better roughing or at least some say in who the next commissioner is. In the world of business, money = voice.

Big changes on the New York alternative-space scene: Exit Art has announced via e-mail that it will close in 2012. Its co-founder, Jeanette Ingberman, died earlier this year, at the age of 59, of cancer.
Over its three-decade existence, the space became known for supporting emerging artists, particularly female and minority artists who were often overlooked by the mainstream art world, and for politically engaged group shows. Read More

Gather the Facts: Talk to your child. Encourage him/her to tell you what happened. Ask questions about who was involved, who witnessed the incident, who was told what happened, where the incident occurred, when it occurred, and what was or was not done. Listen to your child and compile a chronological list of the information.
Read the school and district policies and procedures regarding bullying. Become familiar with how the school documents and investigates reported incidents of harassment, intimidation or bullying per Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) §15-341 (A) (37).
Talk to the School: Contact the school and learn who you should speak to about the situation. Arrange for you and your child to meet with the appropriate person. Bring the list of bullying incidents with you. Document who you meet with and what is discussed. Work with your child and school personnel to find out what your child needs in order to feel safe. Review the school and district bullying policies and procedures with school personnel and ask what specific actions will be taken to ensure the bullying does not continue.
Follow Up: Schedule a follow-up meeting to review the progress made so far. If additional support is needed, ask to meet with a school counselor or school social worker. In some cases it may be necessary to bring the matter to the attention of the school principal, the district office, the district superintendent, or the local school board. Law enforcement should be contacted if an assault, a serious injury, or other criminal offense occurs. Schools are responsible for teaching and protecting all students on their campuses

Seminole County Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester took the unusual step of banning cameras from jury selection in the trial of Kelly Mathis. Mathis is accused of dozens of felonies as the attorney of record for Allied Veterans of the World, an Internet cafe operator.
Judge Lester first asked both groups of attorneys if they wanted cameras in the room, then disallowed them, saying he did not want potential jurors to be intimidated by the cameras.Mathis listened patiently as more than 100 jurors were called for duty. When asked if a 4 to 6 week trial would be considered too much of a hardship for them, almost every potential juror raised their hand and said, "Yes."
The judge then whittled down the list by separating what he and the attorneys considered legitimate hardships. Those that made the cut will be brought back Tuesday for more in depth questions before 6 are selected to hear the case.Mathis is the only one of the top members of Allied Veterans not to take a plea deal. He has steadfastly claimed his innocence and told the court he was simply providing services as a lawyer.
The state called him "the mastermind" of Allied Veterans. We asked Mathis again on Monday if he planned on taking a plea deal on trial. He said he would not take a plea under any circumstance.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Knoxville officials are investigating after a child accidentally burned most of his upper body Wednesday morning.
It happened just after 6:30 a.m. on the 400 block of Oakcrest Road.
The Knoxville Police Department told 6 News at the scene the 11-year-old boy called his mom and said someone threw a cigarette at him when he was walking to the bus stop. However, officials say that report is not true.
KPD officers reviewed a security video from the boy's residence which shows the child playing with a gas can and lighter in his backyard, and then he accidentally caught himself on fire.
The Knoxville Fire Department says the boy was transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center for treatment with non-life-threatening injuries.

Many churches and preachers, and yet murders increase
A football coach/technical director is employed by a football-crazy nation like Jamaica with one objective in mind -- take the team to the highest level of its national development, which is qualification for the World Cup.
At local matches, the stadium is filled to capacity and the anticipation and fever of the crowd are so obvious they could be cut with a knife. The preacher man lifts up his fervent prayer to God and pleads with Him to give us a win and the highly religious crowd roars

11:47am: The three/four-way trade involving Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee is not yet official; here's our post yesterday for a refresher. The latest bit of news kicking off today's post: Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun tweets that he heard someone involved in the trade flunked their physical (one of the minor leaguers). Shi Davidi of The Canadian Press says Phillippe Aumont passed. There appears to be six other prospects involved in the deal, if you include the Michael Taylor-Brett Wallace component. Drabek had Tommy John surgery in July of '07, while Aumont had elbow issues toward the end of the '08 season.
A recap of the expected deal:
- The Phillies get Roy Halladay, Phillippe Aumont, Tyson Gillies, Juan Ramirez, and $6MM. The Phillies will give Halladay a three-year extension plus vesting options.
- The Mariners get Cliff Lee.
- The Blue Jays get Kyle Drabek, Brett Wallace, and Travis d'Arnaud.
- The A's get Michael Taylor.

Gymnastics legend Nadia Comaneci was given the honor of carrying the Olympic torch on Saturday as the flame began a seven-day tour of London that will culminate at Friday's Opening Ceremony.
The torch arrived in London on Friday, the 63rd day of the relay, in a Royal Navy Commando Helicopter. In front of the London Bridge, a Royal Marine carrying the flame rappelled down a rope to the capital. Olympic track and field champion Kelly Holmes, the 800m and 1500m gold medalist in Athens, was the first to run with the flame in the host city.
On the torch's first full day in London, Comaneci ran with the torch to the top of the North Greenwich Arena, where she exchanged the flame with English basketball legend John Amaechi. The gymnastics competition begins in one week at the same arena.
"I'm very happy and honored to be part of the torch relay," Comaneci said. "Everybody's very excited, just six days to the opening ceremony."
The torch, which has been carried by 8,000 runners around the United Kingdom since May 19, is nearing its final destination of the Olympic Stadium. One final runner will light the Olympic cauldron to officially mark the opening of the XXX Olympiad. The flame will stay lit for the next 14 days.
In one of the most memorable moments of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, gymnastics great Li Ning "ran" with the torch around the rim of the stadium in spectacular fashion before lighting the flame.

Chael Sonnen said that he wanted to start fighting after watching Royce Gracie, while Marco Ruas was the one that the 'American Gangster' wanted to emulate.
Wanderlei Silva said that he will "kick Chael Sonnen's ass" regardless whether TRT is used or not by the "American Gangster".
Chael Sonnen checks in from the set of 'The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3' to offer his colorful take on the difference between this season and filming 'TUF 17,' plus give some words of advice to fellow coach and rival, Wanderlei Silva.

So last time around we talked about the basics for how to more efficiently scout prospects; what to look for and what to be wary of. This time, we're going to jump right into some names to keep in mind for your next prospect draft!
For each player I'll give a brief bio, what they do well, what the knocks against them are and my overall thoughts on their ETA, upside and when you should consider drafting them. I can't say where you should draft them without knowing the specifics of your league, so that will be on you to decide but these guys should all be on your radar.
1. Johnny Gaudreau (W) - CGY {4th round, 104th overall 2011}
I'll start with a personal favourite of mine -
borderline full blown man crush at this point - in the diminutive forward Johnny Gaudreau. He's been on my radar since Calgary drafted him after a strong season in the USHL and if you watched the 2013 WJC at all, you probably recognize his name as well. After a slow start he led Team USA and the entire tournament in goals with 7 and was a key piece in helping the underdog USA win gold. Playing for Boston College he was a major force as a rookie last season in helping the team win the National Championship and has been nominated for the Hobey Baker award as the top collegiate player in the nation this season. He has collected accolades and dominated every level he's played at.
The good;
- Very quick, agile and elusive, uncanny ability to roll off checks
- Underrated shot, not the hardest but lightning quick release and accurate
- Elite hockey sense and passing abilities
- Tireless work ethic
- Great opportunity with Calgary as they are devoid of high end skilled prospects
The bad;
- Very undersized, being listed between 5' 6" - 5'9" and 140-150lbs is worrisome
- Will need to continue to excel
- Likely several years from having an impact at the NHL level
Draft Day;
If you're in a deep dynasty/ keeper league or have a spot to stash a player for a few years then you may want to consider this guy in the next draft, if not he's a few years away so you can hold off for another year or two. He will likely play out his four years at Boston College before looking to make his mark on pro hockey but his stock is on the rise and Calgary should give him every chance to succeed. He has the potential to be a top 6 winger at the NHL level but it's top 6 or bust for him.
2. Mark Barberio (D) - TBL {6th round, 152nd overall 2008}
A late round pick by Tampa way back in 2008, Barberio had a very respectable rookie pro season before dominating the AHL in his sophomore campaign last season. He led the league in defensive scoring by a large margin and was a major factor in quarterbacking the Admirals dominant season and Calder Cup Championship. This season he hasn't been as dominate statistically but a lot of the talent in Norfolk has graduated to the parent club, so he hasn't had as much to work with. Still he was again invited to the AHL All-Star festivities and currently sits second in league scoring by defensemen.
The good;
- Great shot from the point, hard and accuate
- Excellent vision and passing ability, able to QB the PP
- Strong skater, both quick and agile
- Good work ethic, noted as being very coachable
- Very good opportunity as Tampa lacks offensive punch from the blueline
The bad;
- Can have defensive lapses at times
- Could use his size a little better
- Streaky this season, scoring in bunches
Draft Day;
This is a prospect you probably want to grab ASAP. He has yet to get a cup of coffee with the Lightning but is sure to get a look next season as there will likely be a need for his offensive prowess from the blueline with MA Bergeron's contract expiring and everyone knowing the fact Sami Salo hasn't really been hurt this season only means it will be twice as bad next season. Consider also that Tampa's new coach is very familiar with Barberio having previously been his coach with the Admirals. He has the potential to be a PP QB at the NHL level.
3. Matt Fraser (LW) - DAL {Undrafted - Free Agent}
So here's a guy that has really come out of nowhere. A true definition of the term "late bloomer" he had fairly unremarkable junior career but came on strong in his final year, though that's not unheard of for 20 year old junior players. He was invited to the Canucks prospect camp but was not signed and went on to sign with the Stars shortly after. A move I'm sure the Canucks are regretting now as Fraser found his game as a rookie in the AHL finishing 2nd in goal scoring, only two goals behind a guy who's getting a lot more attention these days, Cory Conacher. He has continued that solid play this season and currently leads the AHL in goal scoring despite several brief call ups to the NHL club. He has looked good in a limited role at the NHL level so far.
The good;
- Deadly shot, hard, quick release and accurate
- Plays power forward game well, goes hard to the net
- Good work ethic, battles hard
- Dallas lacks true top 6 scoring prospects, especially on LW
The bad;
- Defense can be suspect at times
- Not the best skater
- Could be one dimensional, Cy Young candidate since turning pro, lots of goals & few assists
- Lack of draft pedigree could hurt him if he doesn't produce when given opportunity
Draft Day;
Consider drafting him in your next draft, he's got a few call ups this season so he figures to get a better chance at sticking next season, especially
if the team moves Whitney and/or Jagr now that the team has moved Jagr and may move Whitney and a top 6 spot opens up for him. He has the potential to be a top 6, goal scorer in the mold of a power forward at the NHL level.
4. Jason Akeson (F) - PHI {Undrafted - Free Agent}
Another undrafted player who is impressing is Jason Akeson. Passed over twice for several different reasons, despite being offensively dominant his final two seasons in the OHL, he was then signed by the Flyers. He posted very respectable numbers as a rookie pro in the AHL and actually led a weak Adirondack team in scoring. The lockout this year saw him demoted to the ECHL as a result of the backlog, where he thrived before being recalled and hasn't looked back since. He again is leading Adirondack in scoring by a decent margin despite playing fewer games and has again been one of the lone bright spots on the team.
The good;
- Very good playmaking and passing skills
- Great hockey sense, makes plays out of nothing
- Dedicated and works hard, took demotion to ECHL in stride
- Great puck control and poise
The bad;
- Lacks ideal size and strength
- Pass first player
- Average skater
Draft Day;
If you've got a spot you can wait on a player for a couple of years then consider Akeson this year, if not he's probably a year or two from any kind of impact at the NHL level. He should get a cup of coffee next season and if he finds himself with a top 6 opportunity, his skill set could mesh well with the big, goal scoring forwards on Philly. His odds of getting a decent shot were a lot better pre-Voracek break out but keep an eye on him as he has the potential to be a top 6, playmaking winger at the NHL level.
5. Tyler Toffoli (C/RW) - LAK {2nd round, 47th overall 2010}
This is probably one of the most "high profile" prospects you're ever going to find me writing about on here but I think he might still be somewhat under the radar in terms of the average fantasy manager and he's definitely someone you should all know of. Toffoli concluded a very successful junior career last season, finishing 2nd in OHL scoring and posting the second of back to back 50 goal, 100 point seasons. Expectations weren't low for the rookie pro coming into the season but it's fair to say he has exceeded them so far. He played very well for the Monarchs in the AHL to the point he was called up by the Kings a couple of weeks ago and has not at all looked out of place in the NHL.
The good;
- Elite shot, hard, quick release and deadly accurate
- Great hockey sense, knows where to be and when to be there
- Poised with the puck
- Very good work ethic
The bad;
- Average skater
- Needs to add muscle and strength
- Kings roster is very deep
Draft Day;
Toffoli should be drafted in your next draft if he's not already taken. He's proving that he's capable of playing at the NHL already and while the Kings roster might be very deep, they are also a team that struggles to score goals at times, so a player like Toffoli could force their hand and he could stick. He has the potential to be a top 6, goal scoring forward at the NHL level and should be owned in all dynasty/keeper leagues and probably even standard leagues right now.
Hopefully you enjoyed the piece and found it useful for your leagues, stay tuned for more of this type stuff in the future. I'm aiming for a monthly piece at this point.

3.88/5 rDev +4.3%
Really hazy light copper with ample white head and good retention. Aroma is hoppy with mostly citrus (orange) and a bit of pine. Picks things up in the taste. Hoppy in nature with orange and more pine with some grassyness as well. Bit of caramel maltiness, but not too sweet. Mouthfeel is bitter and relatively smooth. Overall it edges out a 4, a good IPA but nothing spectacular. I'm not sure if I have my hands on a mistreated beer or a bad bad, but the clarity was awful, others say clear...

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #46 (Nov 2010):
A head that is not afraid to stick around; stunning brassy clarity. Bitter orange peel comes to mind when the hops hit the nose; slight twang of yeast in the back. Smoothness has depth within the creamy medium body. A whole lot of hop flavor here and the bitterness is without a doubt aggressive, though the flavor almost reaches the point of being soapy. Maltiness rings hard enough on the palate to not make this happen, and toasted bread and caramel stay long enough for a hit of alcohol and exotic fruit to round out the bittersweet finish. The hops are running down a completely different path here, and it works very well.

3.55/5 rDev -4.6%
22oz bottle, sexy dark matador imagery on the label.
This beer pours a hazy, medium copper amber hue, with one measly finger of weakly foamy, and mostly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some drooping floating island lace around the glass as it quickly dissolves.
It smells of semi-sweet bready caramel malt, heady orange, grapefruit, and lime citrus, a bit of spicy black pepper, and more leafy, herbal, and somewhat perfumed hops. The taste is gritty pale and biscuity caramel malt, a strong mineral astringency, muddled citrus and wet pine hop notes, and a sort of herbal booziness rising up as things slowly warm.
The carbonation is pretty tight to the chest, not even allowing for any kind of frothy frivolity, the body medium-light in weight, and a bit too edgy to be considered even plainly smooth. It finishes off-dry, the biscuity crystal malt still having a disproportionate level of say, amongst a creepily metallic lingering citrus and pine essence.
A pretty underwhelming IPA, to say the least - I don't know if it's the organic thing or what, as I've had a few bangin' examples of the ilk - but I'm getting much more of a somewhat watered-down ESB experience here. At any rate, for a PDX brewery, this is on the low side of the style, in terms of fullness of flavour, and overall rounded character, not to mention the wan appearance - c'mon, even hipsters can dress it up once in a while.

Light copper color with the ever so slight haze. Just over one finger of head forms and slowly settles to a thick cap. Copious amounts of sticky lacing is left down the glass during consumption.
Quite a bit of malt influence in this IPA. Biscuit like malt dominates with grassy, earthy hops lingering in the background.
A lot of malt flavor as well. Biscuits or toasted bread lays the foundation earthy and grassy hops. A lot of bitterness compared to the amount of hop flavor.
Carbonation is low but it fits nicely with the flavor profile. Nice soft, smooth texture.
An enjoyable IPA with a different hop profile from most IPAs that come from the PNW.

4.35/5 rDev +16.9%
Just back from their Brewhouse.. which I had never been there before.. why did it take me so long I wonder? They also do growler fills.
- A nice rich orange/amber cloudy almost "hefe" like appearance.. about a 3/4" thick head that was an eggshell color... lacing all over the glass (shorted pint... eeeek..)
- Smell the malts and wheat as well as some citrus and floral hop notes.. the roasted caramel scent really stands out though.
- Wonderfully balanced IPA for sure... one of the better IPA's out there in my opinion... some wheat malt, roasted caramel.. very complex... and a nice hop backbone as well... floral, and a light citrus flare with a mildly bitter finish. What's so great about it? It's unique and very well balanced.
- Not very dry at all, and only slightly chewy.. but leaves a great malt aftertaste.. which is demanding more pulls from the glass.
- Creamy and smooth, just the right amount of carbonation.. and has no strength of alcohol at all... but does pack what it states. An overall very good IPA and was better than I expected.

Poured from the bottle into a Dogfish Head Ale glass. Yikes this is old..
A real nice creamy light tan head is made three fingers, which settles with a big whipped up top, hanging on like sheets of cream. Body is an opaque somewhat brown amber with hints of orange. Quite a nice looking beer.
Lots of biscuity malts on this, and faint tea like hops. I get the impression this has totally faded. Other that that some milky like sweetness but not much else to say.
Luckily the palate still delivers nicely but without a big blast. Controlling good mix of sweetness and toasty malts. Doughy biscuity sweetness, and a nice small mix of earthy pine on the finish, and light herbal tea. Good doughy mix with a hint of oily finish. Bit of honey sweetness on the lips too.
Surprisingly good mix to drink, but with a fairly closed nose. Would like to try one that is fresher though.

Served from a bottle, this pours an amazing creamy golden copper colour. On the nose there are big fruit aromas of pineapple and apricot with a hint of pine. The mouthfeel is very creamy and rich in texture but there is a bold hop finish that balances
the beer beautifully. A favourite Portland India Pale Ale.

3.66/5 rDev -1.6%
A- Poured from a bottle to glass. Little to no head. Thick copper color.
S- A lotta good stuf going on here, leather, soil, slight citrus hops.
t- Tangy for a IPA, more malt than typical IPA, a little sweet for my palate but finishes dry bitter.
m- Thin and slimy
Overall a very decent beer, not what I look for in my IPA, too sweet and malty, you could change the label on this thing and I wouldn't be as critical.

4.55/5 rDev +22.3%
Aroma: Malty, spicy and earthy. Smells big.
Appearance: Thick amber-orange with a small, foamy head that never leaves the beer uncovered. Lacing follows the beer down the glass.
Flavor: Big and balanced. Full toasty malt sweetness meets some smooth, deep-earth hops. A berry sweetness and strong, lasting bitterness finish it out. Clear and crisp throughout.
Mouthfeel: Satisfying and hearty hop edges give this beer a full mouthfeel. Carbonation is appropriate for the style.
Overall: Excellent for those who like their IPA's big and crisp. At 7.1 % ABV, it's definitely not a session beer, but it is the perfect beer to slap you out of the overcast doldrums. Highly recommended.

22 oz bomber..no mention or 'orgainic" on the label. In appearance this is already an odd IPA, darker amber with a small bubbly,frothy tan head. Strong citrus like hop aromas, but also stong breadyness from the malts. very balanced flavours the citric hopping and very strong semi-sweet malts shining though.. Good enough o the palate..nice lingering finish. Overall a strange one. Almost an American Strong Ale rather than an IPA in my opinion.

On tap at the brewery in a shaker pint.
A half finger of cream-colored head tops a hazy orange body. This quickly reduces to a skim of foam, but does it's best to leave a bit of lacing here and there. Pleasant citrusy aromas are present, but also a slightly distracting background aroma vaguelly akin to canned fruit cocktail. Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Tastes OK, but again nothing to really distinguish itself. Sweet caramel and some juicy fruit salad up front, but the bitterness doesn't really appear until things dry out toward the swallow. A pine character that was previously hidden supplies a lingering sting.
Nothing at all wrong with this brew, but forgettable in a town with so many great IPAs. (Do consider stopping by for a pint of their excellent Black Bear XX Stout, though)

A: Hazy copper-bronze with an off-white head, not much retention but it leaves a hint of lace.
S: Apricot, nectarine, tangerine & a bit of weed with some sweet toffee.
T: Tangerine, grapefruit rind, mango, good bitterness, but a little too much crystal malt. Showing some signs of oxidation.
M: Moderate body has a modest carbonation with some hop acidity.
O: It's just not bursting with fresh hop flavour and I find the combination with the malts a bit odd.

This was my second beer at the Saranac in Spokane. El Torero was served in a standard shaker.
The beer is a chill hazed bronze with a skim of off-white sticky lacing.
The aroma is if fresh citrus but it is a bit subdued. There is also some biscuit notes.
Taste leads with mild citrus, ritz crackers, a bit of something mineral-metallic. No off or odd or old tastes, just a very mellow IPA.
This is an example of me expecting a more in-your-face west coast style but instead was presented with a milder version. Nothing wrong here at all.
The mouth is medium and a bit oily.

A - Amber orange. Lacing follows the beer all the way down.
S - Earth, spice, malts, very big aroma.
T - Big taste as well. A nice bitterness comes with the hops. A foll flavored toasty malt helps balance.
M - Very full body, Crisp, refreshing.
D - Big beer that is very drinkable.

---Hernandez, 71, remained hospitalized in the intensive care unit on Friday, recovering from two bullet wounds, said her attorney Glen T. Jonas. Carranza had minor injuries related to shattered glass and a wounded finger.
Two blocks away from where the women were shot, officers opened fire on a 38-year-old man driving to the beach to go surfing, according to his lawyer. No one was injured in the second shooting, which happened about 25 minutes after the first.
The attorney for the women, Glen T. Jonas said he was shocked. He said neither the size of the women nor the blue Toyota Tundra truck they were in matched the description of Dorner's Nissan Titan.
"There were two women there. They are not black. They are not large. They were not in a car that matched. No danger was presented to the officers," Jonas said. "It was such a mismatched identification."
The officers were placed on paid administrative leave, the LAPD said on Friday. The officers, who were not named, must see a department psychologist before they are allowed to return to patrol, said LAPD Officer Norma Eisenman----

It had to end this way didn't it? The last stop on the Huskers farewell tour of the Big 12 — a trip that's gotten uglier and more contentious with each passing week — is Arlington, Texas where they'll face old Big 8 foe Oklahoma with a conference title on the line. No one in Nebraska would have asked for any other ending. Injuries, rumors, conspiracy theories, apologies, emails and PR black eyes haven't made for a fun few weeks for Nebraska fans, but a little nostalgia seems like just the remedy.

The longest play Kansas managed came with about six minutes remaining in the third quarter of its 20-3 loss against Nebraska, when running back James Sims gained 23 yards over left end. The gain was nullified by a holding penalty on the Jayhawks. Nebraska defensive coordinator Carl Pelini referred to the play afterward. Kansas had lined up in the Wildcat formation, in a way "very different than anything we'd seen," he said. "But we adjusted and hit it for a 2-yard gain the next time." That wasn't the only instance of the Huskers' defense adjusting, just the most dramatic. The Jayhawks ran from different formations and different personnel groupings. They did all sorts of offensive things they hadn't done previously,…

It's almost here! The upcoming college football season is looming in the distance, and for us Gator fans, the season could not get here any faster. With the chance to defend the National Championship in the '09-'10 season, we all cannot wait to see our Gators strap on the shoulder pads. But, like everyone else, we have to wait till September 5th when the Gators take on Charleston Southern. In the meantime, I will be doing a preview for all the positions leading up to the start of the season. The process is designed to ease the fans and give them an upcoming look at your 2009-10 Florida Gators. The series of articles will cover a single position in each article, and give an in-depth look at every player.
The first position that will be covered in this segment is, of course, the Quarterback. Yes, we all know who the Gators QB is, but you can never get too much Tebow. The 6'3", 245 Senior is looking at the upcoming season as his launching pad. How so? First, Tim Tebow is looking to lead his Gators to back-to-back National Championships, which would be the school's first back-to-back football championships. Second, Tim Tebow is trying to become a 2 time Heisman Trophy winner, only done by Archie Griffin. Third, Tim Tebow is trying to improve his draft stock among the NFL scouts. Yes, Tim Tebow's time at Florida is coming to an end, and we all will miss him, but he has a chance to be a special player in the NFL. With his uncanny abilities, he will do anything to step on the field each and every Sunday. In college, Tebow is a legend, maybe even a god, but to the NFL, he is just another player. The NFL scouts are picking apart his passing game, saying he does not have the proper motion and that this will not translate into success in the NFL. So for the upcoming season, Tebow will attempt to change the scouts' minds, and hopefully enter the NFL in the first day of the draft. Taking a look back at last season, it appeared that Tebow actually improved with his passing. Of course, he led his to team to the championship, but he also avoided costly turnovers, as he threw just 4 interceptions in 2008. With this said, Tebow will take 2009 as his last attempt to impress the scouts, and hopefully end the season and his career with 3 National Championships, and 2 Heismans.
Besides Tim Tebow, there are some other Quarterbacks on the roster. Redshirt Sophomore John Brantley may be the future Quarterback for the Gators. In the 2008 season, he went 18-for-28 for 235 yards and 3 touchdowns in limited action. In high school, he was heralded as one of the top three Quarterback prospects by Rivals.com, and was named the Gatorade National Player of the Year in 2006. Behind Brantley, is 6'3" Freshman, Jordan Reed. Prior to Florida, he dominated the high school game. As a Junior, he completed 122-of-222 passes for 1,706 yards and 28 touchdowns, along with 8 rushing touchdowns. Reed was also a finalist for the Joe Montana High School Quarterback of the Year in 2008. Both of these players will see limited action in 2009, but come next season, these two will be battling for the starting role to lead the Gators and continue the success of their predecessor, Tim Tebow.
Going into 2009, Tim Tebow is the preseason Heisman favorite, and he is certainly capable of leading the Gators back to the championship. He is arguably the best college player in the game today, and with another successful season in 2009, he could enter the conversation of being the best player in the history of college football.
