Should the "I Love NY" logo be required on certain state websites?
Posted at: 09/20/2013 12:56 PM
| Updated at: 09/20/2013 7:14 PM
By: Berkeley Brean | WHEC.com
|Print Story
Earlier this year, the men and women you voted to do your work in Albany voted to make some state agencies post the "I Love NY" logo on their websites.
This bill is on Governor Andrew Cuomo's desk right now. One of the governor's spokesmen told the website Capitol Confidential that it's under review.
Here's the deal: the Senate and Assembly passed a bill that requires certain state agencies and departments to put the "I Love NY" logo on their websites. They didn't just ask the agencies to do it, they passed a bill ordering them to do it. Those that voted yes to the bill include local Senators Robach, Nozzolio and O'Brien.
The agencies, like agriculture, parks and rec and the Canal Corporation, all have some link to tourism. But does this really rise to the level of all the work that goes into making a law?
Berkeley Brean: "Do you remember voting yes for this? Do you remember this bill coming up?"
Senator Ted O'Brien: "I do remember this bill coming up and I think I supported it."
O'Brien says he doesn't think the idea was unreasonable and doesn't cost taxpayers money. But every bill goes through committee and debate.
The bill says it "amounts to free tourism advertising" and comes at "little or no cost" to the taxpayer.
Don Jeffries is the head of Visit Rochester. He says tourism is the fifth largest industry in New York, employs 20,000 full time people in Monroe County and brought in a record $1-billion to the community last year. "My view of the world is I don't know how it got there. I don't care how it got there. The more they can get that 'I Love NY' message out, the more websites, the more it's on, the better it is."
The bill doesn't require the logo on every state website -- just ones that have a link to tourism.

Chris Walton at Philocrites has news concerning Jim David Adkisson, who attacked a Knoxville Unitarian Universalist congregation with a shotgun last July, killing two and injuring six. Adkisson, who defined himself to neighbors as a "Confederate" and a "believer in the old South", plead guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. The Knoxville News Sentinel also got to read Adkisson's four-page manifesto, where he calls the UU church his ex-wife once attended "a den of un-American vipers" and bemoans the fact that he couldn't kill every Democrat in Congress.
"This was a symbolic killing," Adkisson wrote. "Who I wanted to kill was every Democrat in the Senate and House, the 100 people in Bernard Goldberg's book. I'd like to kill everyone in the mainstream media. But I knew these people were inaccessible to me. "I couldn't get to the generals and high-ranking officers of the Marxist movement so I went after the foot soldiers, the chicken (expletive) liberals that vote in these traitorous people."
By all accounts Adkisson was remorseless during the trial, and while his defense attorney claimed he could have argued an insanity plea, prosecutors say they had clear evidence of extensive planning and premeditation before the murders. For extensive coverage of the shootings, check out the Knoxville News Sentinel's special page devoted to the incident. With this murderer behind bars forever, here's hoping that healing and closure can come to the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church and the friends and family of those affected by this tragedy.

Here's a question that is undoubtedly not keeping NBA observers up at night.
But it should be of primary interest to Boston Celtics fans – except they're not paying attention to it either.
This question, of course, is:
Is Semih Erden Destined To Become The Greatest Last Overall Draft Pick In NBA History?
Certainly, it's awfully early to make any kind of bold proclamation about Erden's place in the game's legacy. The Turk has only played 31 games in his fledgling NBA career, all of them on a bad shoulder, while learning a new language, for a coach notorious for his unwillingness to give rookies major burn.
Which is why Erden is so awesome.
Because he's already making a strong case for himself as one of the greatest talents to come out of the last position of any NBA draft ever. Assuming you'll take my proclamation at face value, you can safely nod your agreement and skip down to the previous article.
But if you're one of those pesky types that requires "evidence", then come join me after the jump.
The 6'11″ Erden is averaging 4.3 points and 3.0 rebounds a game, has increased his scoring average every month and looks increasingly like a guy who might find a way to put a career together as the second or third big off the bench. He looks – like a real NBA player.
But before we can complete our analysis, we must first conduct additional "research" and put Erden's "competitors" into some sort of "palatable chart form." Only once we've gone through that hassle can we safely discuss whether the Erden statue outside the TD Garden should tower majestically over the Red Auerbach statue, or merely dwarf it.
As you can see, we can safely disregard the vast majority of players selected at the end of the NBA Draft as their candidacies for G.O.A.T. are hampered by the fact they never actually played any NBA games. That leaves only a few candidates to seriously challenge Semih.
The big dogs here are Sean Higgins, he of the robust 6.3 points per game, and the durable Don Reid, who stuck around for 403 NBA games. Zeljko Rebraca brings more offensive firepower than Reid at 5.9 points per game, but comes off as little more than a poor man's Higgins based on my facile but ultimately incontrovertible analysis. Still, we'll keep all three in the running.
But what, you say, of the players drafted before 1988? Is there one there who may join the elite Higgins-Erden-Reid-Rebraca quartet?
The truth is that in the years before 1988, the total number of players selected in the NBA draft stretched upwards to over 200 selections in some years, making the final overall pick even more of a crapshoot than it is today. The vast, vast majority of these players were not NBA-worthy.
Possibly because they did not exist.
For example, there were 226 total players selected in the 1983 draft. The Celtics took Andy Kupec of Bentley College with pick #226. I can only assume that Celtics GM Auerbach, upon looking at the remaining talent pool, took a long puff of his cigar and made up a name to see if anyone was still paying attention. After all, he had secured the rights to Greg Kite with the 21st pick of the first round. And how many rookies were the C's really supposed to play?
Basketball Reference (and other sources) are somewhat ambiguous on this topic, but it appears there is really only one last overall pick prior to 1988 that made it to the NBA. That is Roland West, drafted by the Baltimore Bullets in 1967. West played 4 total NBA games.
Sorry Roland. Semih's got you beat already.
But alas, here is where Erden falls tragically shy of his three competitors. He finishes fourth in the running, simply because he doesn't (yet) have the experience, the numbers, or, in the case of Higgins, an awesome website, where you can find this:
Don Reid also has the numbers to make Semih green with envy. According to nba.com, he had the following accomplishments:
He also has his own facebook page. Can't argue with that.
And Rebraca? Well, his moves speak for themselves:
In summary, we can now assert that with scientific certainty that Erden is the fourth greatest last overall pick in NBA history. Plus, should any of the top-3 fail to fulfill their duties, he is ready, willing and able to slide into a medal position.
And even if that doesn't happen, those top three better be wary.
Semih's coming for them:

NPR Touts Leftist Campaign Against 'Hardline Conservative Policies'
On Thursday's Morning Edition, NPR's Peter Overby slanted towards a left-wing coalition targeting the conservative group ALEC. Overby trumpeted how Coke and Pepsi succumbed to pressure from the "campaign to put a spotlight on companies that sell products to a public that might object to hardline conservative policies, such as 'stand your ground' laws or requirements that voters show a photo I.D."
The correspondent featured representatives from two of the groups in the coalition- ColorOfChange and Common Cause- and labeled them as a "civil rights group" and a "good government group" respectively. He also made only one passing reference to their political ideology- that they were part of "progressive groups and shareholder activists."
Co-host Renee Montagne noted in her introduction to Overby's report that "two of America's best-known companies, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, have dropped their memberships in a low-profile conservative organization called ALEC- the American Legislative Exchange Council. That group promotes business-friendly legislation. It's also been pushing more controversial measures, such as voter identification laws and that 'stand your ground' law, the one linked, we've just heard, to Trayvon Martin's slaying."
The NPR journalist, who once worked for Common Cause (and didn't disclose this detail during his report), first noted how Coke ended its involvement with ALEC after "a civil rights group, ColorOfChange.org, launched an online drive calling on Coca-Cola to stop underwriting the ALEC agenda on voter I.D." He continued with his "hardline conservative policies" phrase, and played a clip from ColorOfChange's director, Rashad Robinson. Before working for the "civil rights group," Robinson worked with the radical homosexual activist group GLAAD, according to his profile on his group's website
Overby continued with a summary of how Pepsi ended its affiliation with ALEC, which included his "progressive groups and shareholder activists" line. He also played a clip of Doug Clopp of the organization he used to work with, Common Cause, who claimed that "everything up until now had been done behind closed doors, and these memberships were not known to the American people." It should be pointed out that former Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton, Robert Reich, chairs Common Cause's national governing board.
Later in his report, the correspondent did play a soundbite of House Speaker John Boehner speaking to ALEC's 2009 conference. But Overby then added a slanted outline of the group's agenda: "Until recently, ALEC was best known for its volumes of pro-business legislation: bills to weaken labor unions, as in Wisconsin; to privatize government operations, and reduce regulation. But this new anti-ALEC campaign comes at a time when some investors have already been pushing for more transparency on corporate political activities."
At the end of the segment, the NPR journalist spotlighted how a major company decided to side with ALEC: "Yesterday, another well-known company, Kraft Foods, said it's keeping its membership in ALEC. A spokeswoman for Kraft said its only concerns at ALEC are business related, and have nothing to do with 'stand your ground' or voter I.D."
Almost a month earlier, on the March 7, 2012 episodes of Morning Edition and All Things Considered, NPR boosted another protest targeting a conservative individual or group. The MRC's Tim Graham pointed out how the programs highlighted a dozen protesters of Republican Senator Marco Rubio, but ignored the annual March for Life where tens of thousands demonstrated against abortion.
The full transcript of Peter Overby's report from Thursday's Morning Edition can be found at MRC.org.

They're talking about stand
Submitted by tcm14 on Thu, 04/05/2012 - 7:22pm.
They're talking about stand your ground laws, related to Trayvon Martin's "slaying". That connotates that Martin was completely innocent in the matter. From what I have heard it is lucky for George Zimmerman that he had a gun or his brains would have been decorating the sidewalk.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy that someone died, but when you jump someone and repeatedly bash their head against the ground, you shouldn't be surprised if you get shot.

I know several Democrats who would normally support something like voter ID laws. Unfortunately, they are Democrat first, anti-Republican second, and American third. So, not surprisingly, they are against it.
However, it is amusing watching them stumble around with the poor counter-arguments trying to make justification of fraud not sound like justification of fraud.

Man in court over Lidget Green mum's murder
Updated 12:52pm Wednesday 19th February 2014 in News By Steve Wright, Crime Reporter
A 22-year-old man is due to appear in court this morning, charged with the murder of young Bradford mother Ridda Zanab.
Mrs Zanab, 21, was found dead in an upstairs bedroom of her home in Alford Terrace, Lidget Green, in the early hours of Sunday, November 3 last year.
An international warrant was obtained by West Yorkshire detectives for the arrest of her husband, Danish Irfan, 22, who was thought to have travelled to Pakistan.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman this morning said a 22-year-old man had been arrested last night at Manchester Airport, in connection with the murder of Mrs Zanab and would be appearing in court later.

Dance for Joy
Whoever coined the slogan, "No pain, no gain" has never taken a Nia class. Developed in the 1980s as a no-impact, barefoot alternative to then-popular aerobic routines, Nia has gained an enthusiastic response from happy�and sweaty�participants. Perhaps that's because the goal of Nia is, according to founders Debbie and Carlos Rosas, "fitness via the pleasure principle."
If you observe a Nia class, you'll know what they mean. To an outsider, it can look a bit loony, as participants of all ages dance wildly to tribal-beat music. The Nia Technique incorporates elements of modern and jazz dance, martial arts, and yoga into a class that's part choreographed action, part free-form movement. Once in the trenches, though, you'll quickly forget about looking silly and find yourself skipping, freezing, flailing, and yelling along with everyone else.
Beyond the fun and the solid aerobic workout, adherents say they appreciate the focus on self-expression, healing, and developing mindfulness. Maria Skinner, dancer, brown belt Nia instructor, and manager of Yoga & Nia for Life in West Concord, Massachusetts, says Nia has increased her mobility, flexibility, and agility. But beyond those benefits, she cites a greater awareness of the present. "My mind is quiet for more time than it used to be," Skinner says. "As a result, when I am in Nia class, I can be in the movement, falling in love with myself, body, mind, and spirit." For additional information, visit www.nia-nia.com.

Please take note...I am still attempting to be optimistic (about this season and this team).
Well, considering the best team in the league just snowman'd us, I am convinced no matter what else comes this season, I will stick through this, through thick and thin. I started watching the Chicago game and I continued to watch the game. Through the (3) goal first period, through the "Go Hawks" chant that erupted midway through the second and continued through the remainder of the game and through the goalie change.
I am not upset over this team falling completely on their face. I fully expected this team to come out of the gate on Chicago and play them physical. Which they did, for exactly 10 minutes. Then their captain scored twice and the game was basically over from that point forward. I was upset that the team got run over as bad as they did and I was upset that they, once again, the forwards were not coming back to backcheck and help out the D-men that were clearly overwhelmed and not helping the goalies who played as well as can be expected.
I was upset...but I am not anymore. Because I continue to be optimistic and I continue to see this season as a much needed step.
First a question. When was the last time Dallas had a top 5 pick?
We all know Faksa was 13th, Oleksiak was 14th Campbell was 11th and Glennie was 8th overall.
Glennie (poor Glennie) was the highest draft pick since Richard Jackman in 1996 5th overall. The highest ever for Dallas was (of course) Mike Modano 1st overall in 1988.
Why go through that little bit of history? Two important reasons.
First, I firmly believe this will be the first season in a long while that the team will finally "Rebuild", not simply "Retool". Dallas, I believe, will be sellers at the trade deadline, and in a very very deep draft year, you can't ask for a better time to Rebuild. One can argue Dallas has been attempting to rebuild around the "core" for a couple of years, assuming Eriksson, Benn, Daley, Goligoski and Lehtonen are the major (5) core pieces. One can continue to argue that the additions of Dillon, Oleksiak, Smith, and Eakin this year have been very complimentary to this core.
Second, just because Dallas is sinking in the standings now doesn't mean we will get a stud player in the draft. Richard Jackman played exactly 38 games for Dallas before being shipped off to Boston.
Of course, for every Jackman, there is a Modano. For every Glennie, an Oleksiak.
I want to see Dallas active at the deadline. I want to see draft picks come back. I want to see at least one more "Cody Eakin" bundled in a package for someone. This will be one of the most important times in GM Joe's young GM career and telling on what kind of direction the team will head toward. And this style of thought has given me the most unbridled enthusiasm this year, so far.
Finally, my assumption and my hypothesis of this trade deadline is approximately (6) players are leaving the Dallas organization. Morrow, Roy, Jagr, Daley, Robidas and either Nilstorp or Bachman.

Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus Catch the Eyes of Olympians!
One would think that winning an Olympic Medal would satisfy an Olympian's dreams; but this is not the case for two of the USA's medal-winning athletes!
From across the globe in Sochi, Nick Goepper and Gus Kenworthy posted a pair of cute messages to their Hollywood crushes, who just so happen to be the stunning Taylor Swift and scandalous Miley Cyrus.
One message showed Kenworthy holding his silver medal and a sign that read, "Miley Cyrus will you be my valentine?" while the other showed Goepper in the same exact pose asking Taylor to be his own Valentine.
Gopper also took to Twitter to publicize his crush on the "Red" singer, writing, "What Could top a Bronze Medal Win for @NickGoepper? Only if @taylorswift13 would be his Valentine! #OlympicValentine."
The boys pose with immaculate hair in their snapshots, and they both sport sexy smiles and their United States Olympics coats. Ladies, what is your response?!

I'll now vomit back up that crow. Why do I go back and forth like this? Because I have no other choice and there is no good choice at quarterback.
I overestimated how much playing one of the worst passing defenses would mask Huard's numerous deficiencies. He played without poise and without the ability to even sling the ball forward, which is less than Croyle or Thigpen has shown this season. He missed the throws when he needed to and turned the ball over. That's the biggest key for this team. With some teams you can survive turnovers. Not this offense. It's part of the fundamental elements of the Herm philosophy. And it completely failed against the Panthers
He's obviously not a long term answer at 35 and yeah, he can't throw downfield. And it turns out it matters in this offense, because we need 1 to 2 big plays in the game just to keep pace. We're never going downfield anyway, but we need to at least be able to make the DBs back up a few steps. No one should start at quarterback, and we should go direct snap with Jamaal Charles.
Kill me. Where's the alcohol?

Poured a light slight hazed lemon yello with a tight sticky 1/2 finger white head,wow I have to say I like the aromas going on lemon and cadied ginger really show thru with a menthol-medicinal like quality as well.Pretty sweet on the palate the candied ginger flavors really show thru along with the honey but it doesnt really get cloying because of a lemony menthol flavor that comes thru late into the finish.Hey I think its quaffable and not overly sweet and gingery like alot of other BA's do its pretty good.

Tasted 08/13/06. Best before Oct. 2006.
The entire concept behind these beers is fascinating to me. I enjoy studying the Colonial Era and the outstanding people that founded this country. Also, I have had a real curiousity for the tastes and smells of historical brews such as the authentic British IPA that would have been shipped to India or a real Porter when it was available to the hard working docksmen in London.
Appearance: Straw with a haze like a good wheat beer. Thick high head that receded to a dense cap that never completely vanished. Tiny beaded strands of carbonation that rose until the beer was gone. Torn lace clinging in patches.
Smell: The ginger is certainly there as is the lemon. Not overpowering; different but pleasantly so.
Taste: I can taste the ginger. Also a little sour/tart flavor in middle. As it warms, I taste a hint of honey.
Mouthfeel/drinkability: Very refreshing. Interesting and enjoyable.
I would buy a sixer of this for myself and one to share. I like this beer and recommend that everyone try it and decide for themselves. I wonder though if Thomas Jefferson would have had easy access to lemons and if BBC used native ginger.

My second brew from the Brewer Patriot Collection, this one pours into my tulip glass a somewhat hazy yellow orange with a half inch of bright white head on top. Aromas are quite intriguing with a pale grainy background. Big sweet honey comes across married with a hint of light citrus and a spicy ginger. It's quite herbal and floral, even slightly medicinal.
First sip brings a light, crisp maltiness with a big citric, lemon zest rush. Floral honey sweetness moves in along with an herbal, slightly spicy ginger flavor on the way down. Finishes with a lingering lemony graininess. It does come off a little medicinal again in the flavor, reminds me of a cough drop a bit.
Mouthfeel is on the lighter side with fast moving carbonation. Leaves a bit of a lingering herbal/spicy aftertaste. Another interesting brew, but this one just didn't really do it for me at all. Guess it just makes me more thankful for the beer selection we have today!

Recipe #1 from the Patriot Collection, best by 10/06. I can't imagine anyone drinking this beer; it's like drinking ginger ale and getting a little buzzed. It was a cloudy yellow-orange, with a small head that disappeared quickly. It smelled like ginger ale, very spicy and sweet. Ginger ale taste was quite prominent, with maybe a faint citrus flavor. Not a beer to savor, but a beer to drink because it's in the 4 pack.

Traditional Ginger Honey Ale. Authentic Recipe No 1. Best enjoyed before October 2006. Pours an extremely pale straw yellow beer that's touched by some haze - and sediment left behind in the bottle. Big soda-like carbonation bubbles stick to the glass and fizz into a light white lacing that eventually disappears entirely.
Big candied ginger aroma. Smells like ginger ale basically - spicy and herbal - with suggestions of cardamom and lilacs in a soft floral bouquet.
Crisp carbonation, very thin and light mouthfeel with a watery consistency. Lots of unpleasant tannins upfront and an oily coating on the palate. The ginger character that was pronounced in the aroma, is very tame in the flavor, while a lemony bitterness puckers things up just a bit, applying some some zest / rind flavors in the back. Light pale malt sweetness, while the wildflower honey used is well-attenuated leaving behind a pleasing floral note and slight remnants of raw honey. Hints of cardamom, with a lingering raw and semi-astringent pith, husky and wheat-like character in the finish.
The tannins throughout the beer, and especially the finish, didn't appeal to me and took a lot away from allowing the subtleties of the brew to shine. Interesting, but not refreshing or overly drinkable.

12 oz brown bottle with a "Best Enjoyed Before October 2006" freshness date on the label.
A- Hazed yellowish orange color, decent head retention and some active carbonation.
S- Freshly sliced ginger with a nutty and earthy back with lemony edges.
T&M- Wow! Fresh ginger all over, spicy and warming. The lemon cuts it a little but compliments it more. Nice snappish crispness from the carbonation. The medium body shows off its beery character with a biscuity malt flavor. Finishes with a pucker of lemon peel and a long lingering ginger.
D- I could not have more than one of these, tasty none the less. I bet this would work wonders for an upset stomach. Perhaps the best out of this bunch.

Pours a hazy pale yellow body with a small white head. Some patchy lacing is left on the glass. Aroma is candied ginger, fresh lemon pulp, and some earthy and floral notes. Mouthfeel is distinctly silky with soda water effervesence and a light body. Ginger is very prominent in the taste, overly prominent to my tastebuds. Reminds of Ale8One, a ginger softdrink bottled in Winchester, Kentucky. Not as spicy hot as some ginger concoctions I've had, but still very much a "ginger ale". Some fresh lemon notes, with hints of florals and honey add some complexity. Easy to drink, even refreshing if you like ginger. If I liked ginger a bit more I wouldn't mind having this one again.

Very interesting brew. Pours cloudy gold with a fluffy white head. Smells very lemony with ginger. A little soapy, but like one of those soaps your wife would buy. Nice honey sweetness up front that moves into the ginger and malt back. Reminds me of an herbal/homeopathic tea you would drink for a cold, but with beer mixed in. Tingly carbonation.

Translucent dull gold appearance, small thin soapy white head. Laces evenly, in thin rings. Lemony aroma, almost like iced tea with a mint background to it. Light mouthfeel, carbonation is fairly low. Flavor follows the aroma in many ways, citrusy with a "hard-lemonade" impression, a backdrop of flavored tea and pronounced sage. The spices start to pile up on each other and give a medicinal quality, but its not particularly overwhelming or unpleasant. There is plenty of sweetness but I don't pick up a ton of overt honey. Actually, there are some real similarities to some Witbiers here. If the end could rise above a "Lemon-Scented Dish Detergent" impression, I would like this beer a little better.

This beer pours a slightly cloudy light yellow color with a thick fluffy white head. The head fades slowly, leaving many thick laces.
This beer has a spicy aroma. The ginger is quite present. Some sweet honey aroma is also detectable. It has a slight citrus aroma. Lemon is the dominate citrus fruit.
This beer has a spicy flavor, with a little too much ginger flavor present. It is slightly overbearing. It has a fruity citrus flavor also. Sweet honey is present in the finish.
This crisp beer goes down smoth, leaving a honey like aftertaste. It is refreshing, but still a little hard to drink.
I dont think I would make this beer my session beer of choice. I cant explane it any other way than to say that I just dont like it.
Overall: As with almost everything I have had from Sam Adams, I am let down. I should probably stop spending too much for mediocre beer.

(Served in a dimple mug)
A- This beer has a golden yellow body with a faint hazy and a thick soapy head that fades pretty quickly. There is a good carbonation of big bubbles.
S- The spicy smell of ginger bread has some notes of fresh lemon rind and a pale malt hint in the background. There is a faint honeycomb smell in the finish.
T- The taste of dry bitey lemon rind and ginger spice fades into a pine floor cleaner quality. There is a cooked corn flavor to the malt that finishes with a sweet honey note that hangs on the palate after each sip.
D- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel with no astringency or alcohol notes.
M- The flavors are big and bold which masks the malt flavors. It does have a bit of floor cleaner quality but it is a very fresh natural floor cleaner and not chemical tasting. I can see these flavors really masking the taste of infection or off-flavors in historic brews but I had a hard time getting the whole glass down.

Must admit I was skeptical going into this...I think it actually was better than I had antisipated.
AP>Pale gold/cloudy, small white head and was gone rather fast.
Smells spicey, ginger, w/ citrus and sweet malts, slightly wheaty too.
Taste of Ginger, honey, sweet malts, lemmon and yiesty.
Feels rather smooth, low carbonation, sweet overall on the palate.
I actually enjoyed this old-school style, not really my "thing" but I found it enjoyable and interesting.

This beer pours a very yellow color with a large foamy head. The lacing is good,but the looks like a large macro pilsner. The smell has ginger, lemon, and honey ,but without a doubt ginger is the most pronounced aroma. The taste has a large ginger presence with lemon and honey. The taste is actually more mellow than the smell. This really doesn't taste like any beer I've ever had and you really have to kkep in mind that this is a period beer. The m/f is light with all the flavors mixing well. Kudos for Sam for trying something different ,although I don't think I could have more than 2 of these.

2.15/5 rDev -33%
A - Semi hazy honey-hued brew with a thin white head that disappears quickly. Spotty suds, but no real lace at all.
S - Candy sugar and honey for sure. Ginger is there, but only in a sweet candy sort of way.
T - Herbal funk with some ginger, molasses, licorice, lemon, and mint flavors. Much like Lipton's Brisk Iced Tea. Herbal, minty, and much too lemony . For some reason this "herbal tea" taste worked in the root beer brew, but it seems weird here.
M - Refreshing, but awkward. Again, very tea-like, Gritty and old, like a mediocre beer thats been in the back of your fridge for years.
D - Poor. This is a very bizarre brew indeed...so was the root beer brew, but this just isn't doing it for me like that one did. I appreciate what they are trying to do with the rustic feel and all, but damn...this is pretty nasty.

From notes. 12 oz bottle from Brewer Patriot 6 pack.
Pour: hazy light gold with tangerine highlights, under a finger of snow white foam that fades to a soapy skim.
Nose: very light - ginger, allspice, and lemon
Taste: Pungent ginger spice, clover honey, wintergreen and vanilla. They should make a candle out of this stuff.
Feel: light yet creamy with velvety carbonation.
Drinkibility/Overall: spicy and sweet, it remains surprisingly drinkable and is strikingly similar to Summer Ale, with a ginger infusion.

Less gingery than I thought. And not as sweet as the honey might suggest. Although it is a little on the sweet side, it still has great balance due to the gentle tartness of the lemon and the spiciness of the ginger. I'm not sure it would be very drinkable though, as I really enjoyed one but don't think I'd ever want two in a row.
Nice appearance. Hazy golden orange. Good head retention. Distinct wheat in the nose along with some lemon and just a touch of ginger. The ginger is more prominent in the flavor, and tends to linger in the finish along with a drip of honey and lemon.

Pours a yellow straw color with a good bit of haze. two finger head that dissapates after a minute. Aroma is spicy-sweet with a faint bit of lemon. Taste is the same. A little too sweet for my taste but not a bad flavor over all. Carbonation is substantial and drinkability wouldnt be bad if it were less sweet. Not a great beer for Sam Adams, but I like the fact that they are trying this cool experiment and it is interesting to try some experimental beers.

This poured a hazy yellow and screamed summer. No noticeable aroma. I didn't know what to think; a ploy? but I pushed on.
THe taste was a burst of ginger acidity/tartness, meaty wheat adn honey, with an overlatment of lemon. This was good, and it never got worse; it was truly one of the best Sam products I have had; the carbonation was spot on; not too much, a nice gravity.
Perhaps it won't win awards, but I might drink more Sams if it was all like this.

Pours a hazy pale yellow, with a nice pearl white head that retains well. The aroma has some wildflower honey notes, along with ginger, biscuity malt and some orange peel. The flavor is initially citrusy with lemon rind notes, along with some metal and ginger, slight orange blossom honey sweetness, biscuity malt and a touch of alcohol. The mouthfeel is light and spritzy and drinkability is ok. An interesting beer, but DFH seems to do better with historical type brews.

Pours straw to golden with a faint haze, some efferevesnce & a 1" white head. Some lacing & head retention
Smell: Ginger & more ginger, luckily I like this smell, plus just a whiff of lemon.
Taste; ginger & honey malt sweetness. This so reminds me of a ginger alt I made wayback when. Finishes sweet & dry, with some orange/lemon notes& maybe a hint of cinamon
MF: Medium with good carbonation
Drinks okay, would tire of the ginger after a while, bet this would go great with sushi or thai food. I could've lived large on this back in the day

Hazy, peachy-yellow/gold in hue; the bright and sunny liquid is quite lovely. White head, at the apex the foam was only a half finger tall. Sadly the head retention was poor as only a moment later all that remained was a thin, soapy collar. There was very minimal spotty lacing. Overall, the appearance is average and quite unimpressive.
The nose seems quite modern. I like what I smell. Lightly bready with a smattering of honey and lemon peel; the ginger is pleasantly understated. I was expecting more spiciness. At the back I swear I smell some minty-orange notes. The potency is moderate, at best. Complex and well-packaged; the bouquet is inviting.
The palate is very nice. It starts lightly bready with some cracker suggestions upfront. In the middle a wonderful medley of ginger, oranges, and lemon zest arrives. It tastes like a Ricola cough drop! Plus it is vaguely sweet as it finishes nondescript spiciness along with some beery vibes. Yeah, kind of vague but the palate is nothing more than a well massaged array of flavors. I really like it. In fact, I find the palate sort of understated and restrained. I could handle much more ginger but that is just me. The ginger shows up the clearest in the aftertaste. Regardless, this is a damn tasty beer.
Medium/medium-light in body, the mouthfeel is quite ordinary. The carbonation is low and creamy but enjoyable. Adequate but pleasant mouthfeel.
I found this beer to be very drinkable. Wow. I am shocked. I could drink many of these in a row and if I could, I would. I cant really think of what kind of food this would go with? For some odd reason Im thinking a creamy cheesecake. Huh. I doubt if Ill every get to try that combo. All in all, this was a very good beer. If folks drank this in 1790 Id say those folks were some lucky bastards. Thank you jwc215 for the bottle; this was really good!

ISLAMABAD: The Senate on Monday criticised the government over its perceived lack of action against terrorists, who continue to kill security forces and civilians, across the country.
They demanded the government come out of the flux and quickly decide about taking action against the terrorists. Speaking on a point of order Senator Mian Raza Rabbani noted the country is confronting serious challenges. "During the last few days a new wave of terrorism and bomb blasts took precious lives of law enforcing agencies, journalists and general public in Karachi, Bannu. Today Rawalpindi and others. The silence of government gives more time to militants and they strengthen themselves and then attack in other parts of the country," he said.
The PPP senator regretted that no serious efforts were being made to hold a joint parliamentary session and discuss the security situation of the country. He suggested calling an in-camera session. Rabbani regretted that the US Congress had passed a bill that made aid to Pakistan conditional with the release of Shakeel Afridi, who helped the US forces locate Osama Bin Laden. He termed it US interference in Pakistan's internal affairs and questioned why was the Foreign Office silent over it. He suggested that Pakistan should give its reaction to this US bill.
ANP's Senator Afrasiab Khattak questioned what the state is doing to deal with militancy in the country. "A state within the state was established, but the government has been unable to take a decision. The performance of previous government was not good that is why people rejected them, but if the performance of incumbent government is good then it should take decision quickly," he said. Khattak said the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has accepted the responsibility for several bomb blasts, but the government did nothing to stop it.
"The TTP is living within Pakistan's boundaries; they are involved in terrorists activities in Pakistan and also in other countries." Khattak asked the government to take a quick decision and make a comprehensive policy against militants. PML-N's Senator Hamza told the House that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has cancelled his official visit to Switzerland after Bannu (bomb blast.
Meanwhile, the opposition members in the Senate staged a walkout over the murder of three employees of a private news channel in Karachi. Senate Deputy Chairman Saber Baloch postponed the proceedings of the House for some time when journalists walked out over the killing of journalists. Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Sheikh Aftab and Minister of State for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali assured the journalists that the government is making a proper security policy, including one for journalists, within this week.
Over the ministers' assurance, the journalists ended their boycott. The Senate referred three bills to the standing committee concerned for further deliberation. One of these bills calls for the protection of the rights of domestic workers. The Domestic Workers (Employment Rights) Bill 2013 envisions legal protection for domestic workers, such as cooks, drivers and maids, resident in private households. Senator Osman Saifullah Khan moved the bill. The Domestic Workers (Employment Rights) Bill 2013 will cover only the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) as labour-related laws are a provincial subject under the 18th Constitutional Amendment. It is expected that the provinces will follow with their own legislation once the bill passes for the capital territory.
ISLAMABAD: The federal government led by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif heaved a sigh of relief on ...

Q. When you knew you were going to be going on court about the time they were predicting the highest temperatures, did you fear the worst about the conditions?
So, yeah, I was a bit nervous before the match. But obviously, you know, when the shadow comes across the court it cooled down a little bit. But still, the air is extremely warm. I was glad to get off quickly.
Q. How did you find the conditions?
Yeah, I mean, I obviously wasn't on the court for a long time. That's what's very draining about being in conditions like that. I mean, most of the players are conditioned well enough to last in that weather for, you know, a certain amount of time. But doing it for three and a half, four hours is tough to recover from.
Q. From the sidelines it looked as those every component of the game was flowing rather nicely for a first match in a slam.
And, yeah, I maybe didn't expect to play as well as I did today, but the signs have been good in practice. You know, I started the match off very well and did everything solid.
Q. Are you hitting the ball with a bit more freedom since the back operation? You seemed to be able to change direction quite easily, seemed more loose in your movement.
That was the whole point of having the surgery. So if I was still in pain and stiff and sore then I'd be a bit worried about the next few years.
But I'm hoping, you know, it was the right decision. I felt freer today than I did for the last 18 months.
Q. Is it strange going on court, given how many times you played in these events, not maybe knowing quite what to expect?
You know, a lot of players don't come back from surgery and are the same player that they are before. That's something that's always in the back of your mind, something that will worry you a little bit and something you'll think about.
And, yeah, before the match today, you're worried about the conditions, but you're also just kind of praying that everything is good with the back and you can wake up the next day even now and hope that all is good tomorrow.
Q. When you hired Ivan, you sort of kicked off this recent trend of players with legendary coaches. For the fun of it, if there were an imaginary tournament with the player and the coach teamed up, you and Ivan, Boris and Novak, Roger and Stefan, Nishikori and Chang, how would that tournament happen?
Q. Why?
Q. When you were with him on the court this summer, did he still have a lot of the strokes? When you were playing that XO?
You know, the thing that changes is not that you stop being able to hit tennis balls. You can't move anymore. That's normally what goes with players.
So when the ball is there they're great. It's moving that's the issue.
Q. Do you think the conditions were safe out there? A couple players collapsed. A ball boy collapsed.
And I know when I went out to hit before the match, the conditions like at 2:30, 3:00 were very, very, very tough conditions. Anyone's going to struggle in that heat.
Whether it's safe or not, I don't know. You just got to be very careful these days. There's been some issues in other sports with, you know, players having heart attacks. I don't know exactly why that is. Or collapsing.
In this heat, that's when you're really pushing it to your limits. You don't want to see anything bad happen to anyone.
Q. Were you surprised the heat rule wasn't implemented today?
Q. Nobody does.
Q. Bearing in mind how hot it was this afternoon, you could have had a roof and air conditioning.
If I'm told to play, I play; if not, then we don't.
Q. What's the talk in the locker room? Are people unhappy about it?
But every single person that I saw coming in from practice or going out to play a match or coming back from a match, everyone just said like, It's really hot today. That was what they said (smiling).
Q. You play Millet next. Do you know anything about him?
So I'll try and watch a bit of video of his match from today to see how he plays. But I'm glad he won.
Q. Given you haven't played many matches, are you happy with quick wins or would you like the odd competitive match?
I'm well aware if I go further in the tournament, if I win my next match, the matches are going to get longer and tougher. You know, I'm still kind of waiting to see every day how I'm going to wake up.
I'm confident that I'm going to be okay. But, you know, these tournaments over best of five set matches on the hard courts, over two weeks, it's tough on the body. So it was a good test for me.
Q. You said you're happy that Vincent won. Is that...
Q. Do you think Odesnik should be on the tour?

"I think mobile advertising is going to be huge," he said in an on-stage interview at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco today.
The reason: The mobile experience is more like television than the Web.
"You have a single screen, the user's attention is focused," Cohler said. On the Web, attention is scattered across multiple programs and Web browser windows.
And mobile is more intimate than either.
"The same regions of the brain light up when someone touches their smartphone as when they touch a family member or a pet," Cohler said, citing research done with MRI scans.
That's why Benchmark was an early investor in Instagram—which was eventually acquired by Cohler's previous employer.

DANVERS — Fourteen-year-old Philip Chism was a quiet kid, a soccer player and a skateboarder, and a newcomer to town who had moved here over the summer from Tennessee. But not much else is known still about the student accused of killing his teacher, Colleen Ritzer.
Yesterday, nobody answered a knock on the door at Chism's home on Riverside Street as a small dog barked inside. A vehicle with a Maine license plate sat in the driveway.
Several neighbors said the family moved in August to the white house at the water's edge in Danversport, which they said had long been the home of Chism's mother's family. Chism lived there with his mother and two younger sisters, according to neighbors.
In his few months in town, Chism had made a mark as a top player on the JV soccer team. Several teammates called him smart and friendly. But even the soccer players said they didn't know him well.
"It's a big puzzle, honestly," said Kyle Cahill, 16, a junior.
Chism was also a skateboarder, another student said.
"My friend skated with him the other day," said Chris Davis, 16, a junior.
Rania Rhaddaoui, a classmate at Danvers High, said Chism was quiet, and she never saw him raise his hand in math class. She said they were also in the same history class, where he told classmates he spoke three languages: English, Portuguese and Japanese.
If he was troubled, it wasn't readily apparent to those at school.
Jean McCartin, a Danvers School Committee member, said the school has extensive programs to help ease the transition for new students like Chism. She said there was no information about Chism that would have raised any red flags.
"He just presented himself to us like any other student would," McCartin said. "And that's what I think is so hard for the administration right now. You know, their hearts are breaking because they just didn't know he was in need, if he was in need. ... No one knows why he would have behaved in this way and done such a terrible thing."

Bethanie Funderburk added 20 points, Katie Pritchard had 18 points - including 15 in the second half - and Kylie Williamson added 10 points as the Panthers snapped a three-game losing streak.
Drury improved to 7-6 overall and 1-4 in the GLVC, while Saint Joseph's fell to 1-11 and 0-4.
The Lady Panthers trailed 37-33 at halftime, but began to pull away in the middle portion of the second half on the strength of the inside play of Gray and Williamson and outside shooting of Pritchard, who hit 5 of 10 shots, including two of three 3-pointers, and made all six of her free throws in the contest.
The Lady Panthers were clinging to a 53-49 lead with nine minutes remaining when two buckets each by Gray and Williamson made up an 8-0 run that gave DU a 61-49 advantage with 7:11 remaining.
Saint Joseph's - which scored just one field goal in a nine-minute stretch - never got closer than eight points from there as the Lady Panthers, preseason favorites in the GLVC West, broke through with their first league win in five tries.
"It's a much-needed win," Drury coach Steve Harold said. "I thought our girls finally in the second half started executing at a level that was somewhat acceptable ... those are things that have to happen for us to be successful. They've been scrapping, battling, fighting, clawing ... they needed and deserved this victory."
Gray made 9 of 15 shots in posting her third game of 19 or more points in her last four outings.
"Gray's a scorer, and if we can get her to focus on defensive end as much as she does on offensive end ... I think we've got a tremendous player here," Harold said.
Jasmyne Reynolds scored 15 points to lead five Pumas in double-figures.
Drury claimed a whopping 46-21 advantage on the boards, led by eight from Funderburk and six rebounds by Sanayika Shields.
Saturday's game marked the return of sophomore point guard Consuelo Owens to the DU squad. Owens played for Drury in the second semester last season, but stayed home in Indianapolis last semester to tend to personal/family matters. Owens played five minutes and had one assist.
"She's not ready to go yet, but we got her in there for a few minutes," Harold said. "She's trying to get familiar with what we do again ... it's a matter of shaking off a little rust, but we'll get her back out there."
The Lady Panthers will return home to entertain Illinois-Springfield on Thursday evening and West-leader Quincy on Saturday afternoon in GLVC play, the latter being "Great Southern Throwback Day."
