BA in Theatre and Performance
The study of theatre and performance at Sheffield is based on the integration of theory and practice in modules taken in our excellent studio and workshop spaces. You are assessed on both your practical contribution, and your ability to contextualise and reflect on practice using analytical, theoretical and historical approaches. During the Course you will:
- Engage with a range of historical and contemporary genres and questions.
- Explore different approaches to making performance.
- Encounter major playwrights, texts, practitioners and companies.
- Focus both on traditional and more experimental practices.
- Develop subject-specific and transferable knowledge and skills in academic and practical areas.
Course Structure
This a short description of our BA in Theatre and Performance. This video will give you information on how the year is broken up into semesters, the core (non optional) modules you will take as well as the optional modules you can take within the School of English or the wider University.
The video is presented by Dr Frances Babbage.
First Year
This is a list of the modules being offered to first year students on the BA in Theatre and Performance, with links to detailed descriptions of what you study on these modules. All modules are worth 20 credits unless otherwise stated.
Please note that we do regularly update our programmes, so the list may be slightly different in future years.
Autumn modules
Spring modules
Theatre and Performance students will be split up into two halves for the Techniques of Production module, with half of you taking it in your first semester and the other half taking it in your second semester. Whichever semester you are not taking Techniques of Production for, you have 20 credits of time to choose approved modules.
For your remaining 20 credits, depending on your qualifications, you may choose to take 20 credits from within or outside of the School of English. If you choose to take 20 credits outside the School of English, you can choose options including; a modern language, journalism, philosophy or history.
Second Year
In your second year you will take the following core modules:
- Theatre Practice: Performance I (20 credits)
Across the two core practical modules at level 2 ('Performance I' and 'Performance II') students will take part in a series of contrasting projects which focus on different kinds of material, different ways of working, and the creation of different genres and styles of performance. While each project will be directed and/or supervised by members of staff, students will work individually and as members of a group, taking increasing responsibility to explore the material, its historical, cultural, philosophical and performance contexts, and its particular challenges and potential for performance today. Students will be expected to take on a range of contrasting roles across the projects, taking into account their own preferences as well as the needs of the group and the nature of each project. Possible roles may include performing, designing, directing, writing, stage managing, or taking responsibility for technical elements. In each project, students will extend and develop appropriate physical, creative, research and intellectual skills. They will also be expected to document and analyse their work, and that of the group, and to compare the contrasting methods and processes they have encountered across the year. Some projects will include input from external and professional theatre practitioners, and some are likely to involve an element of public performance. Examples of starting points and areas of focus for different projects across the two modules include, but are not limited to: An Elizabethan or Jacobean playtext, a series of short, Contemporary Plays, Live Art, Site-Specific work, Verbatim Theatre, Adaptation of a Short Story, a Post-Dramatic text, Theatre in Education, or Durational Performance.
- Theatre Practice: Performance II (40 credits)
See Theatre Practice: Performance I. Performance II will involve students in working on further and contrasting projects, as indicated, and will require them to extend their range and level of skills, understanding and creativity. They will also become more sophisticated in their ability to document, to analyse, and to compare.
- Radical Texts (20 credits)
This module introduces students to radical texts for performance from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Each week students engage with a text or texts that has helped to shape, or that vividly reflects, developments in contemporary experimental dramatic practice. The focus is primarily on work in the UK but with additional reference to a wider European or international context. Material studied may include the performance texts of 1970s Happenings, through to current practices of Live Art and developments in contemporary 'postdramatic' theatre and performance.
For your remaining 40 credits, you will take at least 20 credits within the School of English. Here is a list of some of the modules currently being offered in English Literature for second years. Please note that we do regularly update our programmes, so the list of optional modules will vary year on year. If you have an English A-Level and have taken Introduction to Advanced Literary Studies 2 at Level One you can take any of the optional modules on the list below.
Autumn Semester
Spring Semester
You may choose to take 20 credits from outside the theatre programme, for example in a modern language, journalism, philosophy or history.
Third Year
In your third year, you will take the following core modules:
- Research Project (20 credits)
In this module students will participate in a staff-led research project. Projects will reflect staff interests, and may include applied theatre, site specific performance, contemporary avant garde forms, community theatre, theatre in education, physical theatre, and so on. Students will be expected to participate in both practical work on a given form, and to experiment with possible ways of recording, analysing and reflecting on their practice. This may require them to explore how we can use technologies to help us create more permanent artefacts for performance research.
- Performance Essay (20 credits)
The module focus will be a student led practical research project. The Performance Essay will offer students the opportunity to work
independently in an area of theatre which they find interesting and stimulating. The project will focus on a clearly defined research
question, which will be explored through practical work, drawing on the range of practical knowledge and skills developed through the course. Projects will be negotiated with staff, and will be supervised by them. The Performance Essay represents the theatre equivalent of the literature dissertation.
- Company Project (40 credits)
This module invites you to work as part of an independent theatre company, responsible for the creative development, organisation, and
technical management of a performance programme. You will work to a specific commission, based on professional industry standards.
Commissions might include creating a touring community production: developing a theatre in education programme: site specific work in the city and its environs: the production of new writing, and so on. You will be invited to use the skills and knowledge you have developed
across the degree programme to meet the creative, organisational and research challenges of being independent theatre practitioners.
For your remaining 40 credits, you will take at least 20 credits within theatre. Here is a list of some of the modules currently being offered in English Literature for third years who have the aforementioned prerequisites detailed above. Please note that we do regularly update our programmes, so the list of optional modules will vary year on year.
Autumn Semester
Spring Semester
You may choose to take 20 credits from outside the theatre programme, for example in a modern language, journalism, philosophy or history.
As you will see one of the choices in your final semester is the Theatre Dissertation module. This is a chance to work on any topic arising from your degree studies, in consultation with a supervisor, resulting in a piece of around 8-9,000 words. Though it may be an advantage to do a dissertation if you are considering further academic study, this is an optional module like all the others (ie. you do not have to do it).
You may choose to take 20 credits from outside Theatre, for example in English, a modern language, journalism, philosophy or history.

The Active Shooter Problem
by Jack Rumbaugh
Suarez International Director of Training
It has been a little more than two weeks since the December 14, 2012 school shooting in Newtown Connecticut and I am still trying to wrap my head around the events of the day. One way to help us understand what happened is to look back on history to understand the psychopathology of the active shooter. We will examine six cases from 1949 to the present.
One of the earliest incidents to be considered an active shooter event was in 1949 in Camden, New Jersey. On September 6th, Howard Barton Unruh killed 13 people and wounded three more. Prior to his trial he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and found to be insane, and therefore immune from prosecution. He was committed to the New Jersey Hospital for the insane. His last public words were "I'd have killed a thousand if I had enough bullets". He died in 1988, never having left the mental hospital.
On August 1, 1966, Charles Joseph Whitman climbed to the 20th floor of the University of Texas at Austin administrative building and proceeded to shoot 48 people. Whitman killed 16 people including his wife and mother, and injured 32 more. Even though Whitman was shot and killed by police, he left several notes giving us clues to his mindset. After he killed his wife he left a note stating "I imagine it appears that I have brutally killed both of my loved ones. I was only trying to do a quick thorough job. If my Life Insurance policy is valid please pay off my debts. Donate the rest anonymously to a mental health foundation. Maybe research can prevent further tragedies of this type." Clearly, Whitman knew something was wrong. After his death, an autopsy discovered a glioblastoma, a highly aggressive brain tumor. Whitman would have been dead before Christmas of 1966. Shortly after the shootings, Texas Governor John Connally commissioned a task force of professionals to examine the autopsy findings and materials related to Whitman's actions. They found that the tumor most likely had an effect on his behavior and conceivably could be responsible for his actions.
The Columbine High School massacre occurred on April 20, 1999 in Columbine, Colorado. Two seniors, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, shot and killed a total of 13 people and injured an additional 21. The Columbine massacre was not a spur of the moment decision. It was the culmination of over a year of planning, firearms acquisition, and bomb building. Several theories exist as to why Harris and Klebold plotted and carried out the massacre. Both boys were considered on the fringes of school society. They were part of the Goth culture and were avid gamers. They were also the victims of bullying while at school. It was also found that Eric Harris was diagnosed as a clinical psychopath and Dylan Klebold suffered from depression. Forensic psychiatrists believed that Harris was the mastermind having a messianic level superiority complex and hoped to demonstrate his superiority to the world. Eric Harris had been prescribed Zoloft and had been switched to Luvox just prior to the massacre.
On April 16, 2007, Seung-Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people and wounded 17 others in two separate attacks on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg Virginia. Cho had a history of mental issues and was diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder as a young teenager. In 2005, Cho had been accused of stalking two female students. After an investigation, Cho was declared mentally ill and ordered to attend treatment. It was also reported by his professors that his classroom behavior was disturbing as were some of his writing assignments. Cho also left a number of videos and an 1,800 word manifesto that spoke to his mental status.
On July 20, 2012 James Holmes killed 12 people and injured 58 others at the Century movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. As this is an ongoing case, a great deal of information regarding his mental state has not been released. It is claimed he was a psychiatric patient and there is evidence that he met with at least three mental health professionals prior to the shooting. Some of his acquaintances suspected that he suffered from mental illness and could be dangerous. Two weeks before the shooting he had sent a text message to a fellow graduate student asking if they had heard of the psychiatric disorder dysphoric mania. At the time of the shooting, Holmes was apparently under the influence of the prescription painkiller Vicodin. It is speculated that he had ingested up to 100 mgs of hydrocodone just hours prior to the shooting.
This brings us to December 14th of this year. Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children and six adult staff members and wounded two more at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Again this is an ongoing investigation, so more information may be available at a later date. It is believed that Lanza suffers from a personality disorder and has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. It is not known at this time if Lanza was on any antipsychotic or psychoactive medication. I am sure more details will be forthcoming as the investigation continues.
I want to make some conclusions based on the information above but before I do that, I need to explain my frame of reference. Like Bill Nye, I am a science guy. I have a background in chemistry and physics. I worked as a chemist for a number of years. I currently have a career in information security. I take the data, examine it, and come to a conclusion based on the data. I do not "feel", I think. Cause-and-effect, one plus one equals two, gravity works… You get the idea.
Based on the information above, we cannot ignore two facts: the perpetrators were diagnosed with or were troubled by undiagnosed mental issues prior to the shootings and there were drugs involved in most cases. In the case of Charles Whitman, his altered mental status was due to a brain tumor. In all cases, the perpetrators would not have been described as "normal" prior to or at the time of the shootings.
The fact that firearms were used in all six cases is not relevant. If the firearms had been unavailable, it is my opinion that some other method would have been used. There are historical precedents to show that the use of homemade explosives or an accelerant such as gasoline could easily be used instead of a firearm. In 1927, Andrew Kehoe set up a major explosion in the Bath Consolidated School, killing 38 elementary school students and six adults. In 1990, Julio Gonzales doused the Happy Land nightclub with gasoline, set it on fire, and ultimately killed 87 people. Harris and Klebold were planning on using homemade explosives at Columbine. In this day and age, we are all too familiar with the terms homicide bomber and improvised explosive device, both extremely effective at killing large numbers of people. In fact, one of the largest losses of life was ultimately caused not by guns or explosives, but by box cutters. I am, of course, referring to the events of September 11, 2001.
Another factor is many of the recent active shooter events occurred in gun free zones. Without the threat of armed resistance the perpetrators were able to go about their evil business without the threat of armed resistance. In the case of the 1966 University of Texas shooting, non-law enforcement personnel, just regular people, retrieved their rifles and helped keep Whitman occupied while the police made their way to the observation deck. Just two days after the Sandy Hook shootings, an off-duty police officer working security at a movie theater in San Antonio, Texas, shot Jesus Garcia multiple times, avoiding another active shooter event. Time and time again we have seen that immediate action from an armed individual stops active shooter events very early on. Many times when active shooter encounters armed resistance, they stop what they are doing and take their own lives. This played out recently in the Clackamas Town Center shooting on December 11th 2012. Jacob Roberts opened fire the mall killing two and seriously injuring another. Nick Meli confronted Roberts as Roberts was attempting to clear a malfunction with his rifle. Meli drew his Glock 22 and covered Roberts. Roberts spotted Meli and immediately took his own life.
The bottom line is this. Evil exists in the world. Even if all the guns on the planet were magically transported to the moon, these events would still occur. Disturbed individuals would still find a way to accomplish their evil deeds. Restricting the ability of law-abiding citizens to legally carry anywhere they desire creates areas where criminals can ply their trade with impunity. It is my assertion that had there been an armed individual at Columbine, Virginia Tech, Aurora, or Sandy Hook, the outcomes in all four cases would be very different. It would be my hope that just the thought of meeting armed resistance would have stopped the perpetrators from ever carrying out their plans. Considering their mental status, that might not be very likely. But I do know that the expeditious delivery of a full magazine of Cor-Bon DPX would have radically altered the outcome in every case.

Orton, Broncos allowing San Diego back in race - AFC West - ESPN
Orton needs to find his early-season rhythm by that game. Orton was intercepted three times Monday night after throwing just one interception in the first seven games. The first two interceptions (one was returned for a score) Monday led to Pittsburgh points and the final interception ended the game. Orton had been so patient and instinctive early in the season. Last week and on Monday night, he was throwing into traffic, overthrowing targets and passing off of his back foot. According to ESPN Stats & Information, Orton had a passer rating of zero in the fourth quarter. Essentially, he looked like the mediocre quarterback he was with the Bears, not the early-season MVP candidate he had been this season.

My blood pressure is 149/92.
Yikes, and I'm only 25.
Granted, I just came back from Grand Opening of the Hooters in Fremont and devoured a lot of wings and french fries but my blood pressure should not be anywhere near where it is now. In fact, I only became aware of this problem after I went to the doctors because I was suffering from whiplash due to a recent auto accident. My doctor thinks that my blood pressure is high from the stress of the pain and things should get better as I feel better.
I'm not taking any chances and I'm not waiting for the doctors to tell me I have a problem. I've been going to the gym again, I made a Chinese New Year's Resolution (didn't make a Regular New Year's Resolution, the gyms would be too packed in January), but now there is a sense of urgency and I'm doing at least an hour of cardio at least three times a week. In fact, cardio is the only thing I can do since my back and neck is still a little bit messed up. Starting next week, I'll be a workweek vegetarian, I will not consume meat between showing up for work on Monday and leaving work on Friday. I might even go on a 48 hour juice fast before the All Star Break.
So what does this have to do with the A's? I'll tell you why after the flip.
Of course there are other possibilities as to why my blood pressure is so high at 25. Yes, I am overweight, and yes, I often go on six or less hours of sleep, and yes, I have a family history of this stuff and, yes despite eliminating a lot of junk out of my diet, it's still not good enough. How's that for a run on sentence?
But I also believe that there are two and a half other possibilities on how I can get like this and I believe that the Oakland Athletics are one of those two and a half reasons. I can change my lifestyle, and I will, but when it comes to the A's and the one and a half other things, I don't know. I don't want to change those things.
I live for these A's. I cheer home team vociferously (except for Crosby, his AVG is getting better but I'd like to see more walks) and when the Angels/Yankees/Red Sox/Giants are in town I boo them with just as much vigor. In fact, this is one of my favorite times of the year, the beginning of the baseball season is like the first day of school. It's fun all the way until May, that's when A's just suck hard and I most definitely know that May has to be bad for my cardiovascular health.
Still, it seems that I live or die on every pitch of every game. Playing a lot of close games sure doesn't help. I know, "it's only a game" and I do treat it as such, when the A's lose I remain sullen only until I reach my truck or cross the BART bridge. On the other hand, I'm also pretty sure AN knows how exuberant I get when the A's win. Of course, bad news always sucks.
Long story short, is my fanaticism for this team affecting my health in a negative way? I sure hope not, because I am pretty sure that being a baseball fan in general and an A's fan in particular is not a bad habit that needs to be kicked, like smoking. But just to be safe, for the sake of my health, I do have one request for the boys in Green and Gold; Please be boringly good for the next stretch. No one run games, extra innings or bullpens making things interesting, just boring wins; exactly like that really cold game against the Angels. Please do this for the sake of the health of A's fans everywhere. I know May is coming up so maybe I should just wish the A's just won't suck too bad this year.
I'm going to work diligently on improving my health. I can't give up the A's and I can't give up the other thing and that half reason will be a really hard nut to crack.

I learn such interesting things, doing research for this website. For example, did you know that the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the Shi'a cleric who led the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, had family roots in India?
Evidently, in the 18th century, the ayatollah's Persian ancestors migrated from Nishapur, in the north-eastern part of Iran, to the Persian-ruled kingdom of Awadh in Northern India, centered near Lucknow. Ayatollah Khomeini's grandfather left India in 1830 for a pilgrimage to Najaf, Iraq (where Khomeini would later live in exile for 13 years), and never returned. Nine years later, he settled in the Persian village of Khomein.
As a result, the Grand Ayatollah Khomeini's father was known as Mostafa Hindi ("Mostafa the Indian"). The ayatollah himself signed some of his early poems and political musings with the pseudonym "Hindi," as well.

khomein is a new name for old name of Kamare village that khomeini family lived there.what your document about khorasani root of khomeini family there is any dcument that refr to khrasani root of khomeini family all
things say they came from india and they didnt live in iran before their migration from india .in addition the logo of isalmic new flag is a sikh logo from sikh temples.
- September 6, 2013 at 7:42 pm(2) Shah says:
Not an Indian root. There root originally comes from Iran, his ancestor moved to India and ruled a region in Lucknow. After that his father went on pilgrimage to Iraq and escaped the British rule after that and moved to khomein in Iran.

The curriculum was a requirement for students who were interested in shadowing doctors at the local hospital.
Although Hayley never enrolled in the shadowing program, her father is alive today because she received CPR training.
"I'm thankful that the school offered that training to her, and I'm thankful that she paid attention," Donnie Jones said.
Jones was driving his daughter and his wife, Kerri, to Tuscaloosa on June 29 when he became unconscious.
Kerri Jones remembers that one moment the family was laughing together and the next they were veering into oncoming traffic.
She looked over to find that her husband's head was leaning against the head rest. His eyes were open but cloudy.
Kerri Jones managed to get the truck off the road. It came to a stop after hitting a tree near the Highway 69 Superstop.
She flagged down a passing truck while Hayley called 911 and checked her father for a pulse. She could not find one.
Kerri Jones looked around at the group that had stopped to help and asked if anyone knew CPR.
"I didn't even say yes. I just started," Hayley said.
For approximately four minutes, Hayley used the CPR techniques that she had learned just two months prior to keep blood pumping to her father's heart and brain.
Officials with the American Red Cross and other experts say that permanent brain damage begins four to six minutes after cardiac arrest.
Kerri Jones said that although the strong man in their life could not be with them that day, she knows that she and her 18-year-old daughter were not alone.
"We thank God that we did everything right because it was only by the grace of God that we did it," Jones said.
Donnie Jones was diagnosed as having a ruptured mitral valve at Walker Baptist Medical Center. He had been under a doctor's care for some time for mitral valve prolapse and had recently been told that surgery would be necessary within the next five years.
Jones woke up at Princeton Hospital one week after the incident.
"The last thing I remember is taking Kerri and Hayley back to Kerri's office at 1 p.m. that day. When I woke up the following Tuesday, I had already had open-heart surgery," he said.
Jones has now made a full recovery.
Later, Jones thanked a physician friend for coming to the WBMC emergency and helping save his life.
"He said, 'Hayley Jones saved your life and she saved your brain by giving you CPR,'" Jones said.
Like his youngest daughter, Jones has had to perform CPR to save a family member.
"It was a drowning victim who just happened to be my oldest daughter when she was about 3 years old," Jones said.
The Jones family now works together to educate the public about the importance of CPR training.
Hayley, who won the title of Miss Walker County four months before her father's incident, has now changed her platform from community service to the American Red Cross with an emphasis on CPR training.
On Thursday, the family organized and participated in a hands-only CPR class at the CHS building that also served as a fundraiser for the Walker County Red Cross Heroes Campaign. Approximately $1,500 was generated for the local Red Cross service center.
Hayley said she knows firsthand how crucial proper training can be in an emergency.
"It can happen anytime, anyplace, anywhere to anybody. If it does happen, somebody has to be there to act," she said.

Weather's movin' in, you're movin' out.
If you live in a mountain town, you've heard some over-the-hill local say 'if you don't like the weather here, just wait five minutes' and then cackle like they just came up with it. It's a mountain town cliche, but there actually is some truth to it. Mountains affect the clouds and the air currents, causing the weather to be unpredictable. Because of this, it's always a good idea to carry a rain jacket when you head into the backcountry, even if it's sunny. With a 10,000mm waterproof rating and strategic venting, the Fox Racing Downpour Jacket is much more than a typical light rain jacket. You may not use it ten rides in a row, but when the clouds open up on that eleventh ride, you'll be happy that it's tucked away in your pack.
Fox started with a tough, 4-way stretch fabric so you would never experience that binding feeling that you get when you max out the fabric on a regular jacket. This stretch property also makes the jacket tougher, because it gives where other fabrics would tear. Then Fox added a durable water repellent treatment to give the Downpour a full 10,000mm waterproof rating. Fox also taped the seams, a common weak area for waterproofing, to completely seal out the weather. The hood is removable so it won't flap around behind you when it's not in use, and Fox designed it to fit under your helmet so it's snug and won't enter your field of vision. Hook-and-loop cuff adjustments seal off your cuffs from rain and drafts, and will work with any type of glove that you happen to be using. The hand pockets are closed with waterproof zippers to keep your valuables safe when it really starts coming down.
You'll want to dump heat quickly if it starts warming up inside the Downpour Jacket. To that end, Fox provided underarm vents and a vented back panel that won't allow rain in but will let heat out. A rear headphone loop keeps your cord where you want it without snagging your brake levers or passing tree branches because an unexpected, involuntary headphone ejection can be extremely unpleasant. It may be even more unpleasant to be hit by a car on the way home from the trail. Fox added reflective elements to the Downpour to make you more visible in traffic.
The Fox Downpour Jacket is available in sizes S through XL and comes in Yelllow or Black.

Material was thin but seemed like it would keep you dry. The fit was small. I normally wear an XL and the
Is XL was pretty tight. Not great if you want to layer or have some air movement. Side zippers- well vented. Arms were tight as well. I just returned the Last XL so if you normally wear a medium or large, you better jump on it. Good value at 55% off.

WEST MONROE, La., (KNOE 8 News) - West Monroe Police have arrested a suspect in a series of church burglaries.
Earlier this month, a burglary was reported at the North 7th Street St. Pascals Church. During the night of the 5th, someone entered the church and removed several items of value, then fled. Then, again on the 21st of this month, there was another burglary at the church. This time, the items taken were "traceable items".This week, a suspect who has now been identified by police as 43-year-old Stanley D. Blackman of West Monroe, was located at a discount store in West Monroe attempting to make purchases with what appeared to be stolen monetary instruments taken in the original burglaries. Blackman was taken into custody without incident and was transported to the West Monroe Police Department where he was interviewed by Detectives. Blackman denied having any knowledge of the burglaries.
However, police say several additional stolen items from the victim were located within his vehicle. Blackman was booked into the West Monroe Correctional Center and charged with two counts of Illegal Possession of Stolen Property, three counts of Theft by Fraud and one count of Attempted Theft by Fraud. Blackman was subsequently transferred to the Ouachita Parish Correctional Center to await bond.

Big thanks goes out to my boy Lunch for sending me this one in a past trade! 2010 Vintage! Served from bottle into a Stone nonic. Poured orange with a minimal off-white head. Maintained nice lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, pumpkin, wood, and sweet alcohol. The flavor was of sweet malt, cinnamon, brown sugar, wood, and sweet alcohol. It had a light feel on the palate with medium carbonation. Overall this was a fairly good brew. After having the base version right before this one, I was a little concerned on what I would think of this one. However, this one definitely improved quite a bit with the -bal treatment. The barrel added a nice bit of complexity that was lacking in the previous beer and made it much more enjoyable to drink. Definitely the better of the two without a doubt. Just ask nickd and he will tell you why.

Got a bomber of this for 7.99 at my local beer Nutz. Not Sure of the age but with some sediment in the bottle it may be last years batch. Hoping the bourbon has rounded out in that time!
A - Poured a nice amber with an inch of fluffy white head. The pour was pretty carbonated so the sediment was disturbed and resulted in a snow storm in my glass. Ow well it's a bourbon beer so I don't think it is soured.
S - Wow this smells like a booze bomb! Heavy bourbon with just a hint of caramel sweetness with just a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon.
T - Belch! Ow wow the only time I had a as much bourbon flavor was in Nemesis! Usually a beer will round out the bourbon flavor resulting in a sweetness but this is full on booze flavored! Hard to detect anything else but I did pick up mostly caramel sweetness, some wood, and a very mild if any pumpkin taste but really it good have just been bourbon with this monster!
M - Very heavy and almost undrinkable. I kind of enjoy a scotch or bourbon flavor MILDLY in my beer but this is ridiculous.
D - I don't think age will do much more with this beer since after a while the sediment starts to set in destroying the flavor. Was really hoping for more with this beer but has really opened my eyes for big ABV Pumpkin ales. Most of them (Smashed Pumpkin, Hopping Frog Double Pumpkin, and this) were total booze bombs. I will stick with my Screaming Jack from Michigan. PASS!

22 ounce bottle. Served in a nonic pint glass, the beer pours a cloudy orange/copper color with about an inch off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both decent. Aroma is sweet and spicy, it smells like pumpkins, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), vanilla and bourbon. Taste is similar to the aroma, but with some alcohol/booze being noticable but not overpowering. The bourbon flavor is a bit stronger than the others, but the flavors all mesh well together. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a bit syrupy and has low carbonation. Drinkability is good, it improves as the beer warms up. I think it's a good overall brew, I'd buy this again.

Pours a hazy orange to light copper color with an off white head. In the aroma, bourbon, oak, and pumpkin spices. In the taste, mellow bourbon, oaky, and mellow pumpkin spice. A smooth and medium bodied mouthfeel, with a dry bourbon to a clean aftertaste. Light bourbon probably due to the spice contrast. Nice warming feeling.

Malty aroma has firm notes of pumpkin and cinnamon and a bourbon overtone that comes from the barrels in which it was aged. It pours a slightly hazy dark orange amber with a pale orange-tan head that does not stick around for long and leaves minimal lacing. Flavor has a strong bourbon note that dominates the flavor but does not overwhelm it, allowing the malt, pumpkin and cinnamon notes along with the whisper of caramel to have their say. Thick, smooth texture is fairly tingly and has a strong nip thanks to the bourbon. A perfect beer to begin October!

A – Opaque ice tea apricot body. Creamy, white head has ok retention and lace.
S – Green olives dominate the nose. Bright oak and molasses play backup, but can't stand up to the overwhelming brine.
T – Strangely, but thankfully, none of the brine makes it into the profile. Soft bourbon is restrained, sweet, and paired with a vanilla and rolling oak. Chardonay-like twang in the center. Honey and light-grade molasses balance the alcohol and oak in the finish.
M – Medium-full body. Well carbonated.
O – Outstanding flavor profile, but almost no pumpkin flavor.

2011 Bottle aged for a year in the fridge.
Pours a dark amber color with a thin ring of tan foam around the outside of the glass that recedes to leave some pretty decent lacing on the glass.
Aromas are quite intense with tons of bourbon, quite a bit of booze along with the usual oak and vanilla. As it warms you get a lot of pumpkin pie spices as well; including cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg.
The tastes begin with a great deal of sweet vanilla. Fairly sweet, but the oaky bourbon flavors helps to mitigate that a bit. As it warms the intense cinnamon and nutmeg flavors do an even better job of this.
The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low-medium carbonation. Finish is pretty darn sweet and boozy, which is suprising given the year of age.
OveralI, I chose to age this because I heard it was farily intense upon the release and it it still so after a year. The bourbon and spices are just overdone causing an intense flavor profile is just hard to really enjoy. I don't mind aging beers for more than a year but a pumpkin beer doesnt fit that MO for me

Pours a bright, completely opaque orange with a soapy white head that recedes to a small swirl along the top.
The smell starts with the spices, nutmeg and cinnamon especially, balanced by the vanilla sweetness from the bourbon barrels. There is a sweet sugary pumpkin aroma that floats underneath the alcohol.
The taste is more of the same but probably a bit sweeter with the vanilla and pumpkin up front, giving way to the light spices. The spices don't last long before the bourbon barrel knocks them out of the way and dominates the finish with a definite burn going down.
The mouthfeel is smooth and boozy with a nice tingle on the palette from the combination of alcohol and pumpkin spices.
The bourbon mellows the spices from the base beer pretty well and gives the impression of a well-balanced pumpkin beer. Not bad.

Bottle shared at the December iteration of the Santa Cruz tasting series. Dark orange color. Peppermint and cinnamon aroma, very wintery, pumpkin pie plus spices. Smooth pumpkin sweetness, big spice notes, too much nutmeg/cinnamon. Didn't get any bourbon. Dial down the spices, dial up the squash and the booze.

A clear brandy copper color with a modest white ring of head and weak lacing. The aroma offers brandy as well. Vanilla oak and sweet marshmallow cherry. The flavor brings an instant idea of pumpkin brandy with some low lying malt and more cherry sweetness and vanilla oak. Very tasty in a medium bodied beer with reserved carbonation and a slick feel. Very solid and a bit different for a sweet seasonal with high octane. The booze is a bit high but it's worth it.

22oz. bottle served in my Darkness tulip. Pours a semi-hazy burnt-orange with a creamy, loose, one inch bright white head. Head gradually disperses into a creamy slick with some thin, but densely packed strands of lacing evident during the tasting. Nose expresses bourbon, a buttery quality, pumpkin spice aromas and a trace of citrus. Taste follows nose - pumpkin pie flavors dominate upfront; nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, followed by bourbon flavors that nicely integrate with the other elements. Mouthfeel is light-medium (but closer to medium), with a lively carbonation, a slightly silky texture and some residual alcohol heat detectable at the finish. A very pleasant variation on the style and makes a great post-Thanksgiving digestif. That being said, 22oz. is perhaps a bit much. A 12oz. bottle split amongst two is more than satisfying.

I opted to go ahead and pour this one instead of aging it. The curiosity got to me. It poured a cloudy, murky dark burnt orange with almost no head at all. You can smell it from a couple feet away. You can pick up the pumpkin, nutmeg and cinnamon. Up close you get little more than bourbon, oak, and vanilla. The taste isn't what I wanted it to be. It's subtly pumpkin while overly bourbon. I would've liked it the other way around. It drinks slightly "hot" too because of the bourbon flavor paired with the 9% alcohol content. It has a medium to body and leaves the bourbon flavor on your palate. I like it, but it could've been better. I'll probably buy another one just to let it age for a couple years.

Poured a hazy auburn w/ good carbonation leading to a large head that dies slow (not much lace). The aroma is a mix of pumpkin (not overbearing), some caramel/sugary sweetness, cinnamon, spicy pepper, some bready dry malt and hints of bitter citric hop. First impression is real sweet and smooth, as a sweet pumpkin (along w/ sugar, caramel, and maybe vanilla) taste hovers over the spicy, alcoholic edge. This sweetness is thin, however, and there is a crisp, dry finish of spice and a touch of hops, plus a touch of that bourbon barrel (I think...might be power of suggestion). This finish amplifies the sweetness on the next sip so I couldn't put this beer down and overall I'd say it's nicely balanced, although some might find it too sweet.

Picked up at Julio's. Poured into a Duvel tulip.
A - Pours a crystal clear light copper with a creamy almost two finger head that faded to leave a nice blanket and rich halo.
S - Nice sweet malts, pumpkin spices, and some smooth bourbon. Very creamy and smooth smelling.
T - More of the sweeter malts with lighter pumpkin spices. A fair amount of bourbon and oak notes as well as alcohol. Just not enough pumpkin for me in this one.
M - Nice and creamy mouthfeel. Quite drinkable considering the higher ABV. Bourbon is nicely present.
O - Overall, I'm mixed on this beer. As a bourbon beer, its not too shabby. As a pumpkin beer though, it leaves somethign to be desired. Wish there was more pumpkin in here than bourbon, but its still not a bad brew.

Pours a golden amber color with some orange hues. The white head is small and wispy, settles into a very light ring.
The aroma is of light pumpkin spice; cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Some pumpkin vegetal notes. These aromas are contrasted by a sweet bourbon scent that brings vanilla and oak. Quite surprised by the subtle nature, especially for a big beer.
The taste is quite bourbon-y to start. Vanilla and oak flavors are present as well as a slight fusel alcohol. Perhaps a touch of caramel. The pumpkin spices are muted but seem to play well with the bourbon flavors. Some cinnamon and nutmeg, perhaps some ginger. The malt is slightly bready and doesn't play too much in the flavor profile.
The feel is quite light, almost watery. Its sweet on the palate; the spice and ABV burn seem to help keep the sweetness in check. A bit dry in the finish.
Not really what I expected. I expected a thicked bodied, heavily spiced pumpkin ale that had some bourbon notes. This is almost the opposite. Its light, the main flavor is the bourbon and the pumpkin profile is subtle. It is a nice blend though; the spice works quite well with the bourbon.

A: This poured a hazy dark gold with a little off-white head.
S: It smelled like lots of mulled spices and cider, with pumpkin and sweet bourbon and a bit of oak.
T: It tasted like pumpkin and apple cider / mulled spices, with bourbon and vanilla and oak and biscuit. It had a somewhat dirty bittersweet aftertaste.
M: It was fairly thick with moderate carbonation.
D: This was better than the average pumpkin ale, but not amazing. The bourbon aging was a nice twist, and it seemed to work well with the other flavor elements. But the general quality and crispness of the brew was somewhat lacking. Nice body, and it hid the alcohol well, so it was pretty easy to drink. Enjoyable, but a bit sloppy, so there was some missed potential.

Poured from a 22 ounce bottle into a pilsner glass. Fairly sure this was bottled Fall 2010. Aged in bourbon barrels.
A: Unfiltered hazy brown-orange. Bubbles rise sustaining an inch of head. Translucent.
S: Holy hell. It smells fantastic. Huge pumpkin dominates. Spices are a serious undertone, completely avoiding artificiality and reminding me strongly of pumpkin pie. A bit of bourbon might come through as caramel sweetness.
T: What. It tastes like pumpkin eggnog that was spiced and liquored up. I would think this at Christmas or-- who am I kidding? I would drink this anytime. Deep, complex, tasty, creamy, pleasant, and spicy-titillating. Undeniable pumpkin pie with a bit of alcoholic burn...bourbon alright, or maybe rum. Slightly thin in feel, but never in flavour. Tentative carbonation.
O: One of the best pumpkin ales I've encountered. Maybe the best. It's perhaps a little strong, but the booziness gives it a layered complexity that I think improves the overall effect. Recommended, if you can find one. I'll certainly keep my eyes peeled.

A - Pours a clear reddish copper with a finger of off-white head. Not much lacing to speak of.
S - Bourbon, vanilla brown sugar and pie spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and clove) up front. Some caramel malt as well. Didn't really get any oak notes. The bourbon is really a complement here. It is one of the predominant aromas, but it blends nicely with everything else.
T - The taste follows the aroma pretty well, with the addition of some wood tannins. A bit sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. The bourbon flavors are an improvement on the base beer.
M - Medium, slightly syrupy mouthfeel.
O - Nice flavor combination. I enjoyed this more than the base beer (which I also thought was pretty good).

Congratulations to all of our farmhands on our High-A franchise the Daytona Cubs, who won their fifth Florida State League Championship in franchise history. Tonight they defeated the St. Lucie Mets 4-2 to sweep the best-of-five series, three games to none.
The D-Cubs have been getting outstanding starting pitching the entire post-season. Tonight Dae-Eun Rhee took the mound for the second time in the playoffs and got the decisive win with six solid innings. He allowed two runs on four hits. Rhee walked three and struck out five.
Rhee was relieved by Aaron Kurcz, who threw two shutout innings for a hold. He got in trouble in the eight inning after allowing a walk and a double with two outs, but then he struck out the final batter to get out of the jam without any runs scoring. Kurcz allowed just the one hit and one walk. He struck out three in the two innings.
Finally, fireman Frank Batista slammed the door shut with three groundouts in the ninth inning. The final out was a 1-unassisted ground out putout.
The D-Cubs scored a run in the top of the first to take an early lead when Evan Crawford singled and Greg Rohan doubled him home. After Rhee allowed two runs in the second inning, Daytona tied it up in the third when Justin Bour doubled home Matt Cerda.
The Cubs went ahead for good in the sixth inning when they lead off the inning with four straight singles from Abner Abreu, Matt Szczur, Elliot Soto and Logan Watkins. Michael Brenly then hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded to make it 4-2 and end the scoring.
Every D-Cub had a hit tonight except Brenly, and he contributed that big insurance run through the sac fly. DH Rohan was 3 for 5. First baseman Bour was 2 for 5. Shortstop Soto was 2 for 4.
The Championship is the fifth in franchise history. They previously won championships in 1995, 2000, 2004 and 2008. The 2004 championship was shared with Tampa when the post-season was cancelled due to Hurricane Ivan.
I'll next see you on Wednesday when Tennessee starts the Southern League Championship Series against either Birmingham or Mobile. That series is currently tied at 2-2.

Flipping through a few favoured agricultural websites it was interesting to see yet another disease is threatening the Canadian hog sector.
In this case its the possibility of porcine epidemic diarrhoea (PED) crossing the border from the United States.
"PED was discovered in the U.S. nine months ago and has since killed three million pigs," detailed a Western Producer story. "It is believed to have affected 15 to 20 percent of the U.S. pork industry, causing millions of dollars in damage."
That there is a disease issue hog producers must deal with is nothing new.
I grew up on a hog farm, and even in the later 1960s and early '70s the impact of disease on production was becoming recognized by producers.
At the time Atrophic Rhinitis was the disease producers were most aware of. The disease is an inflammation of the tissues inside the nose and in its mild form it was likely in most herds by the end of the era. The concern was when the disease became more serious, a situation where noses would actually twist, making eating more difficult, and becoming a factor in some secondary respiratory diseases.
The era was one where producers were becoming more aware of the idea of biosecurity. It was usual then for producers to ask visitors to their barns to change boots before entering the barns, or at least walking through a disinfectant bath in an attempt to stop disease transfer.
There was still many producers, at least those in the seed stock business, who would attend shows, a place where pigs interacted with each other in the barn and show ring over several days. It was likely the animals were introduced to more than a few bugs in such situations.
Of course back on the farm sows were usually kept outdoors except when farrowing. At the time most farms were still mixed operations, many having at least a few hogs. That meant magpies, other birds and vermin most likely carried a few pathogens from farm-to-farm.
There was a school of thought at the time whereby producers felt disease was somewhat inevitable much like we as humans are going to catch a cold no matter what precautions we take.
Those of us who are healthy, and have come into contact with as many bugs as possible build up a natural defence to the cold.
Some producers thought hogs were better off developing the same natural defences.
But hog operations evolved through the late 1970s toward ever larger operations, operations where all animals were taken indoors, the doors locked and the idea of high level biosecurity implemented, an evolution made in the face of new diseases such as leptospirosis and Porcine Reproductive & Respiratory Syndrome were shown to have an economic impact.
Most modern barns no longer admit visitors, meaning only staff, and those with a reason are allowed, and they are often required to shower-in, wear provided clothing, and then shower-out.
The system makes sense if no bug ever breaks the barrier of defence.
But it is very difficult to deal with every possible entry point of disease. Birds and vermin may be less of an issue since barns are now generally much further apart, but feed trucks, trailers used to get hogs to market, or new breeding stock are just some of the areas a disease might enter a barn.
And once inside an operation there is likely to be very little natural disease resistance because so much effort has been made to prevent introduction of any pathogen.
This is not to suggest the current high level biosecurity of hog barns is wrong, but in my mind at least when the security fails and something as devastating at PED arrives, the hogs in such operations are likely to be hit hard.
And that is why diligence to keep PED out of Canada is so paramount for the hog industry.

After weeks of making mistakes and letting our opponents capitalize on those while not forcing our opponents into many mistakes, the Broncos played a very complete game. While we only forced one turnover, it was crucial. Offensively we beat the Chiefs at their own game, playing more conservatively than we have, but in doing so limiting mistakes to one fumble (which we immediately go back on the next play) and one fumble which Wes recovered himself despite head trauma. We won the battle of field position when we had to, limiting the KOR yards (touchbacks) and PR yards while not giving the Chiefs any extra yards with touchbacks on punts (Dustin had 3, Britton had 0). The defense stiffened when they had to, taking a page out of the Chiefs playback from this season, limiting the chiefs to two TDs (3 scores) on 4 red zone possessions. On the season KC has only scored TDs on 48.5% of their red zone possessions (25th in the league) - so they did against us, what they have done against others
The Broncos forced the Chiefs into 14 3rd downs, 6 of which were 3rd and long. Here are those situations and the outcomes:
|3rd and 12 at KC 18
|(Shotgun) A.Smith pass incomplete short left to J.Charles.
|3rd and 10 at KC 36
|(Shotgun) A.Smith sacked at KC 29 for -7 yards (sack split by M.Jackson and S.Phillips).
|3rd and 7 at DEN 29
|(Shotgun) A.Smith pass short left to D.Bowe to DEN 20 for 9 yards (D.Ihenacho).
|3rd and 7 at KC 40
|(Shotgun) A.Smith pass incomplete deep left to D.McCluster.
|3rd and 27 at KC 39
|(Shotgun) A.Smith pass short middle to D.McCluster to KC 45 for 6 yards (W.Woodyard).
|3rd and 17 at KC 49
|A.Smith pass short middle to A.Fasano to DEN 41 for 10 yards (C.Harris).
We forced them to punt on 5 of those 6. Their lone conversion came on that 9 yard completion to Bowe on their FG drive in the second quarter. So far this season the Broncos have been getting their opponents in 3rd and long 63% of the time on 3rd down. With only 6 of 14 (43%) of their 3rd downs as "long"s, the Chiefs did a decent job of staying on schedule and getting in more manageable distances to convert. They had three 3rd and shorts (converting only 1 of 3), one of which was the critical 3rd and goal from the 1 (big stop by Johnson). Their only 3rd and short conversion came on the defensive holding call on 3rd and 2 in the first quarter. They were most successful on 3rd and medium (4-6 yards), converting 3 of 4 (6,6,5 and 5 yards to go). In fact they converted their last three 3rd and mediums against us with our only stop coming on their third possession of the game.
If you look at the other side, the Chiefs were able to hold the Broncos to 0 for 8 on 3rd and long. So far this their conversion % allowed on 3rd and long is 19.5%. When the Broncos were able to stay on schedule offensively, we were able to convert 6 of 8 3rd downs (on short and medium distances). Their two 3rd down stops that were not on 3rd and long were the fumbled hand-off on 3rd and 1 and a KM run on 3rd and 5 that gained 1 (right before the missed Prater FG). The Chiefs continued to be great at stopping teams on 3rd and long this game, but the Broncos were able to convert on 3rd and short or medium where other offenses have failed this year. Their first 9 opponents were 22 of 59 on 3rd and NOT long (37.2%) so far this season.
On the season the Broncos have now allowed conversion on 26.9% of 3rd and longs. Overall we have allowed conversion on 37.6% of all 3rd downs - that currently ranks us 15th in the league. Our offense was only able to convert on 6 of 16 3rd downs (37.5%) this game. While that raised the Chiefs' 3rd down allowed % slightly, they are still leading the league at 27.2% (they came into the game at 25.8%).
The Chiefs offense stayed out of 3rd and long better than half of the time against us because they were able to gain ground on us on first down runs. On first down runs they gained 69 yards on 14 carries (4.9 ypc). One of those was the 35 yard run by Charles. If you take that run out of the equation, they gained 34 yards on their other 13 1st down runs (2.6 ypc). What they were able to avoid (for the most part) was running plays on first down that resulted in zero or negative yards. Of their 14 1st down runs, only one resulted in a TFL and only two went for no gain. The Chiefs have been quite good this year at avoiding plays that gain zero or negative yards. They were the worst team in the league last year in that stat.
On the season so far the Broncos have allowed 475 yards on 128 first down carries (3.7 ypc). We have 20 TFL and 13 stops for no gain on those carries (25.7% of first down carries against us have resulted in zero or negative yards). I'm not sure how that compares to other defenses in the league (since I can't find a site that has the stat), but that number looks pretty good to me.
Looking forward to next Sunday night, the Pats are a surprising 21st in the league in 3rd down conversion % (35.8). The Pats in their last 3 games have done this on third downs:
- vs MIA - 8 of 17
- vs PIT - 7 of 12
- vs CAR - 5 of 10
20 of 39 (51.2%) over their last 3 games. That is much closer to what they could do in 2012 when they led the league in offensive 3rd down conversion % (48.7%).

September 2010. Bad bed bug infestation. Discovered that there had already been bed bugs in the apartment when I moved in. I ended up having to move because it was so bad. The landlords sprayed a couple times but there were still a lot alive.
Landlords were helpful but allowed a gentleman to move in right after me even before the bed bugs were gone....I'm assuming that is also what happened to me when I moved in! I feel bad for the guy :(

There are bed bugs in my apartment building. I have been bitten for about one week. The spray has been done, but bed bugs still here.
ga on 06/28/2007
Just moved into a new place.
The previous occupant was pretty slobby and frequented the local drop ins.
Noticed a bug on the wall and confirmed that it was a bedbug.
Told landlady and she arranged for the pest people to spray.
After inspecting the bedroom i found tons of live and dead bedbugs and lots of dropping stains in corners around base moldings in closets, through out the entire apartment.
It required several sprayings.
At one point i was at work, at least 5 hours into my shift, and
i looked down onto my desk and saw a live bed bug.
I had to throw out a lot of clothes and furniture, do lots and lots of laundry.
No nearby bug reports

Pension Issue
Lauriers pension challenges are real. The current pension plan design is simply not sustainable, and the issue was not caused by the University contribution holidays in the 1990s.
Laurier is not alone. Nearly every pension plan in Canada is experiencing significant funding issues as a result of economic and demographic forces. The University is not proposing to eliminate the pension plan. The University is committed to ensuring the plan is sustainable, and its proposals reflect this. The pension issue also has a very real impact on students. Historically, 7-10 per cent of every tuition dollar went into the pension plan. This year, it is 16.4 per cent and will rise to 23 per cent over the next couple of years.
For further information about the pension challenges facing universities, please see the independent, third-party commentary issued by the Dominion Bond Rating Service on February 13, 2012: The Next Big Test for Universities: Addressing Pension Deficits.

I'm trying to find current information on him but all I can find is that he transferred to Utah but I can't find him on the depth chart or the roster. Did something happen with him or is he just coming inthe fall? Not that we need more depth at that position but I mean you almost can't have too many great WR's right?

I've never been an active member of the TNIAAM world, but I'm here almost every day. I'm a third generation SU grad. Bedtime stories as a little guy ranged from stories of 44 to Thompson "closing" Manley field house (that one never put me to sleep and my dad, who was there, still gets red in the face when he talks about it).
My grandfather, class of a long time ago, wouldn't talk to me during SU football games. He scared me then, but in time, I came to understand. Today, he's gone, but his now 88-year-old widow (at a whopping 4'11" and 85 pounds, tops) screams as loud as any Carrier Dome faithful at her nursing home television during any SU football, basketball, or lacrosse game. And lacrosse, mind you, is a game she has absolutely no understanding of. All that matters is that the guys on the field don an orange "S".
I'll never forget all the SU moments. First time in the dome (Syracuse-Army, McNabb at the helm). The '03 national championship (father paced in living room for 2 hours). First football game as a student (loss to WVU). Shaking Boeheim's hand that same day (he seemed uninterested; I didn't care). Standing on the Carrier Dome hardwood for the first, but not last, time (Georgetown sucks). Being 20 feet away for 6 OT's (Thank you roommate and friend of roommate's father for that ticket. Seriously, THANK YOU).
Okay, all that said, I've been thinking lately of a comment HCABHAFJB--figure it out--made some time ago about SU being a football school with a good basketball program or something to that effect.
Sure, I went to SU from '05 to '09. Yeah, doesn't get worse than that. It leaves me angry/jaded/biased. I'll own that. But look at us. Best 0-2 team in the country? Hey, don't get me wrong, I was drinking it, too. Northwestern was about as close as they come and there was hope after--AFTER--halftime against USC. But that's what we've become. Searching for a bright side in an at-the-time-winless campaign.
Let me wrap all this up into what I'm trying to say now. It's okay. The Orange have a proud football history. We're lucky we've got that. Right now, in this day and age, SU's a basketball school. Sh*t, I was bummed when they dropped from 1 to 4 after losing to Notre Dame last season. Oh, poor me--my alma mater is on the other end of the TOP FIVE IN THE COUNTRY. Hell, we're two centers playing through the tourney away from maybe another couple of championships.
I've found peace in the football program being what it is. My best football memory was getting Tanard Jackson's junk mail on Winding Ridge. Oh well. I'll always hope pigskin finds its way back to relevance, but I'm not going to let them ruin my Saturday's anymore. As a Syracuse anything fan, I'm damn lucky. We don't have anyone on this year's Heisman watch list, but at least we've got one. No way we're playing for a national championship anytime soon, but we've got one of those, too. While football struggles, the basketball program just cracked some ESPN top 50 programs list and was the highest ranked of any one-championship school. And lacrosse? Ever watch those guys play? You know you're doing alright when it's a bummer to just miss a national championship three-peat. I hear field hockey is pretty awesome, too. I wear my orange with pride.
Deep breath. You could be a Rutgers fan.

- About Ateneum
The 2012 exhibition season at Ateneum Art Museum begins with an exhibition of Carl Larsson, followed by the 150th anniversary celebration of Helene Schjerfbeck and culminating in an international exhibition of Symbolist landscape painting featuring works by such artists as Van Gogh, Gauguin, Munch and Kandinsky.
Carl Larsson is one of Sweden's most beloved artists, whose paintings of idyllic domestic life are well known also in Finland. The new exhibition at Ateneum invites viewers to consider what in fact constitutes a good life. Factors that connect contemporary viewers to Larsson's life include the home, the family, a sense of community, children, gardening and interior decoration.
The exhibition Carl Larsson - In Search of the Good Life focuses on themes related to the home and includes many of his early works. Presented in collaboration with the Turku Art Museum, the exhibition at Ateneum is curated by Timo Huusko, and its warm-spirited architecture is the work of Minna Santakari. Having been exceptionally popular during Turku's year as European Capital of Culture, the exhibition at Ateneum continues the stories of the Larssons in a new form. In addition to their paintings, the exhibition also presents Carl and Karin Larsson as designers of furniture and art handicrafts.
Following the Carl Larsson exhibition, Ateneum will mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Helene Schjerfbeck with a major exhibition of her art. Opening in June, this will be the largest exhibition of Schjerfbeck's art to date, presenting almost three hundred works of art covering all periods of her artistic career.
This exhibition will present Schjerfbeck's well-known classics alongside previously unseen or seldom exhibited works of art from private collections. A central theme of the exhibition is Schjerfbeck's interaction with the masters of world art. For the first time, Schjerfbeck's paintings after El Greco will be displayed alongside two original works by the Spanish master. Helene Schjerfbeck painted her El Greco interpretations inspired by black and white prints. The curator of the exhibition is Leena Ahtola-Moorhouse, Chief Curator at the Ateneum Art Museum and an expert on Schjerfbeck's art.
The year will culminate in an international exhibition devoted to Symbolist landscape painting. The exhibition will present a wide selection of poetic, mystical and sensual interpretations of nature, painted between 1880 and 1910, including landscapes by such masters as Gauguin, Van Gogh, Munch, Mondrian, Kandinsky, Monet and Whistler. Other European artists that will be featured include Hammershøi, Hodler, Signac, Strindberg, Leighton and Millais. Finnish Symbolist art will be represented by Albert Edelfelt, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Hugo Simberg and Ellen Thesleff. In all, the exhibition will show works by 52 artists.
This will be the most significant exhibition of art by Van Gogh or Gauguin ever held in Finland. The exhibition has been made possible thanks to Ateneum's close cooperation with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and the National Galleries of Scotland.
The paintings in the exhibition are being lent by the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, Tate in London, MoMA in New York, the Munch Museum in Norway, and the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. In addition, paintings have been made available by major private collections in New York, Paris and Italy. The curators of the exhibition are two internationally renowned art experts, Rodolphe Rapetti and Richard Thomson.

Great hook. I love it. The wood pecker is a fun subject. But, I think Darwinian evolution is really challenged by the fact that animals have genders. Some lower forms of life just divide asexualy. But, animals require male and female genes to reproduce. What life form was the first to "evolve" both genders. How many millions of years did a male or female live before a compatible mate evolved? Why are there no odd creatures today or in the fossil record without mates? I think this question pretty much sinks the evolution mother ship. Remember even the Titanic was said to be unsinkable. Cheers.
