Best of the Trappist Beers
- designerboy01 Aug 28, 2006 06:13 PM
Which of the six do you think is the best?
re: olia
The Chimay Grand Reserve may be one of the best, if not the best. However, choosing beer, trappist or otherwise, is very subjective. Let's face it, some people still drink Bud.
re: esg101
"Which of the six do YOU THINK is the best?"
the "and why" is of interest, I think. Of course it's subjective!
re: kenito799
I like the Chimay Grand Reserve best, and you are right it is subjective, it is in the taster of the beholder, so to speak. Allagash Brewing Company of Portland, ME makes a very decent trappist like brew. Check it out at this site:
re: esg101
Allagash makes a very nice trappist beer. I had it on tap in Maine, and I have to say, it was great.
re: esg101
Allagash makes Belgian style ales but not one of the trappist breweries.
re: esg101
You cant just "make" a trappist beer. Its not a style. It implies the origin - meaning it comes from a trappist brewery. That being said...allagash is one of my fav breweries. Rob Tod is the man!
re: esg101
Trying my first Chimay Grande Reserve right now. Excellent. Bud lite and coors lite are definitely better Texas summer beers. Too hot to drink good beer.
re: olia
Those are two of my favs right there. Sure all know but drink the 750's of Chimay Blue at around the 5 year age point, oh my.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Great to hear they age so well... are there any particular conditions that are best for them? About like storing wine or??
re: TombstoneShadow
Nope, keep the cork upright unlike wine, l just stand them in the original carton. Buy now, drink later.
Just drank one that was 6 months old, nothing like when age on it.
re: Delucacheesemonger
10 years ago or so, they were all aged - no one knew what they were - nor was anyone willing to pay $9 for a bottle of beer - and they would sit on my local beer store's shelves until I gave them a good home.
By far, Westvleteren, but good luck finding it - and if you do, consider taking out a loan for a case. Westy 12 was out of this world, yet the memory of the blonde always seems to sneak its way into my head.
Achel is pretty good, I love Orval, Chimay's are always reliable, I'm not a fan of the Rochefort beers, and I love the dubbel from La Trappe but the quad is the most popular.
The Bride & I had the good fortune to be in Belgium last September. The Westvleteren 12 was found and tried twice in a restaurant, around 5 EURO. It was stunningly fantastic. Westy 8 was good but didn't have the depth.
Rochefort 8 was The Bride's favorite overall, out of 44 beers sampled during the trip. I like Rochefort 10 a little better.
Orval was OK but not great.
I liked Maredsous 8 & 10 better... But then, that was on draft, served in ceramic mugs, and eaten at their outside courtyard.
re: liegey
Agree with Rochfort 10 as the best beer I have ever had, Orval interesting and great but an acquired taste.
This weekend I tried Achel Brown and found it to be the perfect expression of the style, malty, complex, but with a tart backbone that kept it refreshing. So expensive though...can't indulge too often...($7 for 11 oz!)
re: kenito799
Correction, I looked at my receipt and Achel 8 Brown was $3.99 at Ameican Thrifty, Brooklyn.
Westvleteren 12, then Rochefort 10. Or maybe the other way around.
I hold St. Bernardus Abt 12 in equally-high regard.
Rochefort 10 is the best i have tried, but i have missed out on the Westvleren beers. I need to try those as well.
Chimay Blue label is a good beer that is easier to find.
re: Jim Dorsch
When we were in belgium, we read/heard that it's hard to find because
1) unlike other abbeys, Westvletren only makes enough to support the order, rather than essentially selling as much as they can
2) In order to get the beer, everyone (individuals, cafe owners, stores) need to call the phone number to find out when and which beers are available, queue in their cars at the abbey, and there is a limit of 10 cases per car or truck. No official distributor system or similar, though I would assume that there is some informal distribution from those who go and get 10 cases and sell to others.
re: JugglerDave
What you say is basically the case (although I believe the case limit is less now). However, before the proclamation I mentioned, you could buy bottles in the US for maybe $10-11 each. After the proclamation, the small amount typically available was immediately snapped up, and I've never seen it again in the US.
re: Jim Dorsch
A friend of mine just found a pair of bottles in some store in OH (she was there on a trip).
re: brentk
It might have been. She's not from Columbus but I think she was there, but i think it might have been in Cleveland? I'll have to ask.
That being said, the gf will be in columbus soon, any chance you'll reveal your source? :)
Edit: Yes, it was in columbus. In case you did want to try to obfuscate the location, the initials were FTV.
re: brentk
Yeah - which was right around the same time that she bought it. The gf wlil be heading over there in about a month, so here's hoping for the best.
re: brentk
FWIW my mom turned out to have been in the same area this weekend so I had her snag me a few of them. It'll likely be a few weeks before I can get my hands on them, but I'll report back on things like the date, etc.
re: jgg13
I am guilty of replying to an old thread, I know but I am a bit surprised that no one called BS on your "obfuscation" of the source for Westvleteren in Columbus, OH. I know you want to protect your sources but please.
Stock up on your bottles and share the source with those of us who might also enjoy one or two for ourselves.
The store name jgg13 and brentk were mincing around is "From The Vine"
re: jgg13
Do you think they were a few years old? I can't recall if they have dates on the bottles, but I suspect they do. Just wondering if any product is getting into the US at all, outside of someone's suitcase.
There was a big discussion a while back on beer advocate about whether it's ethical to buy this product in the US, given that the brothers don't authorize it for export to our country.
re: Jim Dorsch
Will have to ask her (again) about the dates, although reading about the place on BA makes it seem like they have a steady stream of product.
Speaking of BA, as for your second paragraph, I'd argue that anyone who really cares about that needs to get a life. You buy it, it is yours to do with what you want, which would include bringing it somewhere else and reselling it.
re: Jim Dorsch
I'd guess that properly cellared that the expiration date would be quite a bit in the future. Normally when I've seen those things have expiration dates they're upwards on 10 years in the future.
"There certainly are a few folks on BA that meet your description"
Now that's something I've realized for years now :) I like what they try to do but BA as an organization (including posters and such) don't do a whole lot to contest my belief that modern beer snobs are far snobbier folks than snobs of most other things out there :)
re: Jim Dorsch
It's been a couple of years since my last one, but they used to be date-stamped on the cap.
re: Jim Dorsch
"Grey market" Westvleteren (well, even that isn't techincally correct- it's perfectly legal in the US, with TTB approved labels, etc., simply bought by the importer through a secondary source rather than directly from the Abbey) has been available off and on for the past decade or so- brought in by 3 different imports (B. United, D&V and "World of Wines") and those bottles are easily identified by simply *having* a label, which also has the US required "Gov't Warning" and the name of one of those importers.
I don't recall the prices of the bottles when they were "new" (I sort of remember them being even cheaper than Jim mentions) but I've seen them, now 4-5 years old, still on the shelves recently for $15-20.
A "hand carried" or a true "grey market" bottle would be label-less, I would guess.
A copy of the label that's been used in the US can be found here-
re: JessKidden
I don't want to get them in trouble, but a bar here recently had label-less bottles of Westvleteren. Sadly I didn't have enough cash (their credit card machine wasn't up at the time) so I didn't buy any. By the time I got cash and came back the few bottles were gone. Oh well.
re: DougOLis
Westvleteren bottles don't have labels on them, so I doubt they were trying to hide anything by removing the labels.
re: brentk
The other way around. The label-less bottles would be illegal to sell in the US and would certainly suggest they weren't brought in by a legitimate importer, who DO put labels as required by TTB on the Westvleteren they bring in.
re: JessKidden
FWIW as it applies to this store, I'll ask my friend if they were labeled or not. I know that she's told me, but I no longer remember.
re: brentk
All the Westvleteren I've seen in the US has been labeled. If it's on the shelf in a retail store, it must have a federally approved label.
re: brentk
Besides the link to the Westvleteren bottle photo in my post above, one can see a copy of the US TTB approved label, along with a brief explanation here-
In addition, a search of the TTB site https://www.ttbonline.gov/colasonline...
will turn up the actual applications and labels. Search for both "Westvleteren" and "TRAPPISTENBIER" but, note, that that website 's seaches can be squirrelly and will turn up items one time and not another.
I'd expect that most bottles one finds on the shelf in retail shops for off premises consumption are going to be the labeled versions. Unlabeled bottles,( i.e.- "hand carried" "self imported" "grey market" whatever term you wanna use) are probably going to be "behind the counter/bar", available only on request >wink, wink<.
By saying the unlabeled bottles are "illegal" I'm not saying that I think the states' ABC's have busted (or should bust) "grey market" Westvleteren sellers (tho' it's not unheard of for the competition to turn folks in for "bootlegging" beers across statelines).
OTOH, stranger things have happened in the current atmosphere. Wasn't there a story soon after the Patriot Act was passed where the FBI was hassling some little novelty shop owner in the PNW for selling "illegal" versions of the Rubic Cube?
re: JessKidden
Yeah- a lot of the one's I have seen have had that label. I also recall the "Saint Sixtus" label of maybe 15 or so years ago:
(scroll down)- but I'm guessing that those were brewed at Saint Bernardus back then and may not have been the same exact beer.
re: Jill
I have been to Hop Devil Grill, St Marks at Ave A, which has a connected "Belgian Room" with only Belgian and Ommegang offerings. I was drinking lambics so I didnt check for trappist but they have a nice large selection of bottles. The other side of the bar has a ton of IPAs and stuff on tap. The frites are good, too.
Vol De Nuit (148 W 4th) is a Belgian beer bar. Have not been.
The other fantastic Belgian selection is found in Williamsburg at Spuyten Duyvil, Metropolitan and Havemeyer. You could call and see what trappist they have at the moment.
Hop Devil Grill, perhaps? Decent place.
The best, and cheapest, way to get yourself acquainted with Belgium's offerings, though, would be to stop by New Beer Distributors on Christie and bring home a selection.
I've only found Westvleteren in two locations. The first was the Vienna Whole Foods (in Virginia), where chowhounds pointed me towards a gentleman familiar to us here on the Beer board. The other score was at New Beer Distributors.
I'll reiterate my previous comment that St. Bernardus is a worthy purchase, whether or not the true Trappist ales are available.
re: big o
Another place for Belgian beers at great prices is American Beer on Court St and Butler in Cobble Hill. They have a great selection and you'll probably end up buying alot of other things while you're there, which is good and bad.
And Rochefort 10 is a multi-course meal in itself.
And Hop Devil does have a good trappist selection.
re: Hapa Dude
Good cheese is your best bet.
re: JugglerDave
There are two or three varieties of Chimay cheese. IIRC one incorporates beer.
re: JugglerDave
The Chimay cheese is good, but really any good flavorful cheese works. I like stuff like Red Dragon (an English cheese with mustard seeds in it), aged Gouda, dry Jack, aged Cheddar. Anything rich and flavorful is great with those kinds of beers.
I'd stay away from milder cheeses - they can't really stand up to the beer.
I go with Westvletern 12. BTW if you really, desperately MUST try this beer, it is available through belgianshop.com.
My favorite available Trappist is the Rochefort 8.
Did a blind tasting of all the Trappist beers at a cafe in Amsterdam about a year ago. They were matched up roughly by type, (The 6s and Chimay Rouge the 8s the Tripels and the 10/12s.) Before we started, everyone agreed that Westvleteren 12 was our favorite. While the Rochefort 10, Westvletern 12, Achel Extra and LaTrappe Quad were on the table, we all blindly picked the LaTrappe as the best. After, the tasting, the pub owner admitted that the Quad was 2 years old, everything else was a year old but the Westvleteren 12 was picked up from the Abbey that week.
By type (Orval doesn't categorize and you could pick it out blind easily) we liked:
Westvletern Blond
Rochefort 8
Westmalle Tripel
LaTrappe Quad
re: Kevin B
wow... the first mention of westmalle this far down. i think the dubbel is the best out there
re: designerboy01
Thrifty/American Beer on Court St, Cobble Hill. Huge selection, great prices. worth the subway ride in my opinion.
Am I the only person who was really dissapointed by Westvleteren? I was incredibly excited to find a bottle of it at the liquor store (Martys in Newton Ma). It was liek 2 years ago but I remember the beer being too sweet. I sincerly hope that I simply had a bad bottle.
While I am very fond of far too many begian beers, there are a number of trappist style beers out of Quebec such as Fin du Monde, Raftman and a number of others from Unibroue in Montreal. There used to be a place on Bleeker in the west village run by a greek guy named Hercules (I shit you not) that had a great selection of everything. I've heard that he has moved down to Tribeca.
There is also New Belgium out of Fort Collins CO that makes a nobel effort.
re: chilihead
I would hardly compare fin du monde with a true trappist ale, though it is a fine drink. If you're in Canada you can try special orders through the LCBO for the rarer Belgian ones.
re: di0nysus13
more mid MI than eastern MI,but Oliver T's in Grand Blanc MI,Beer World in Ortonville MI,Rudys Market in Clarkston MI just to name a few places to find multiple Trappist beer
I've tried several of the Trappist ales, and by far my favorite is Achel Extra. All of the Achel brews are excellent, but the Extra is hugely malty and delicious, going down ever so easily. Of course, I think there are better beers out there, either from independent breweries or from non-Trappist abbeys, that don't get the respect they deserve because they're not made by Trappist monks.
I finally had Wesvleteren 12 last night. I can see why it's considered the best of the Trappists.
Ah, my favorite clergymen, the Trappists. Thank heavens the Irish monks didn't brew beer or we would have had trouble on our hands, way back when.
Is Corsendonk a Trappist beer? It's one of the best I've ever tasted, and the little Belgian bistro around the corner from my office stocks it, along with several others (Petite Abeille, in New York, if you're interested)
Keeping the faith..
- Sean
re: Sean Dell
Corsendonk is a good Belgian beer but there are only 6 Belgian Trappist breweries, making these beers:
There's also a Dutch Trappist brewery, Koningshoeven, which doesn't seem to be in the same league, but I have never tried their beers.
There are lots of great Belgian (and non-Belgian) breweries making abbey style ales, similar to many of the Trappist brews.
re: Sean Dell
As kenito said, Corsendonk is not a Trappist beer, but it is a phenomenal bargain as far as Belgian abbey ales go. Their Abbey Brown Ale (sometimes also labeled, simply, Pater) is a favorite of mine, but the Abbey Pale Ale (aka: Agnus) is also a decent brew. I absolutely love their Christmas Ale. It's big, dark, malty sweet, and complex.
i've only had a few trappists (chimay - blue is favorite, westmalle dubbel, rochefort 6 and orval - disliked orval, phewy blechk bandaids) but for my unsophisticated palate and for the money/ease of access, i think that there are many american microbrewers who 'copy' the style well enough to make them frontrunners.
re: hitachino
Anderson Valley's trappist-style beers are awesome. Brother David's Dubbel tastes very close to the real thing.
re: Josh
thanks...alas, they don't distribute to FL (i just checked their website)
however, i have been able to try ommengang, allagash, north coast (love pranqster, haven't tried brother thelonius yet) flying fish dubbel (can't find that in FL anymore though) victory (had that in NC, not in FL) and i've liked everything i've tried as much as or more than those few actual trappist ales i had ;)
re: hitachino
I just had a great Allagash quadrupel called Four. Really awesome stuff.
re: Josh
Allagash does an excellent job creating very authentic Belgian-styles ales. Their Tripel Reserve is incredible, blowing away many of the Trappist tripels, IMHO. Four is also awesome, and I eagerly await the day they finally bottle the barrel-aged version of said beer (aged in Beam barrels, I believe).
re: hitachino
Try the brews from Unibroue, they are available in Florida and quite wonderful.
Rochefort 10 is my favorite, followed by Westmalle Trippel, barely edging out Chimay Blue. Haven't tried Westvletern.
re: negronilover
Well, it's not like asking someone what their very favorite beer, in any style and of any origin, is. To be honest, I think some of the Trappist beers are overrated anyway. Take Westvleteren, which people seem to hold in ridiculously high regard, no doubt in large part because it's so rare outside of Belgium. If you could walk into your local liquor store and pick one up on any given day, would anyone really think it was so much better than Westmalle, Rochefort, or Achel? Also, as much as I like Chimay Grande Reserve, I think a lot of people call it their favorite because it's so widely available, and they haven't had a chance to try something comparable, like Rochefort 10.
Having said all that, I don't have a favorite Trappist brewery, so much as I have favorites among each of the styles produced by these breweries (dubbel, tripel, quad/cat. S). Additionally, I have a favorite overall beer amongst all my faves in their respective styles, so I think it's a pretty relevant question, with answers that will undoubtedly lead some people to find new and exciting brews they would not otherwise have tried.
re: The Chemist
I've been lucky enough to visit Belgium a number of times and have tried beers by all seven of the authentic Trappist breweries. Of course it's all a matter of taste, but my favorite among them (and favorite beer on earth) is the Westvleteren 8. I preferred it to the 12, which itself is a wonderful beer. The 8 is just out of this world. If I could only drink one beer for the rest of my life this would be it, and I'd never tire of it.
Among the rest of the Trappist beers I enjoyed the Rochefort offerings next best, then Chimay, Westmalle, Orval, Koningshoeven (brewed in the Netherlands) and finally Achel.
Westvleteren, particularly the 12, has been my favorite beer for a long time. When I was in grad school, it was available on the shelf at my local Whole Foods. I haven't drunk it in quite a while, unfortunately--maybe five years now. I know it's available online.
Next, Rochefort. I don't really like the 6 that much but the 8 and 10 are excellent.
Chimay is next. I think I would rate them white, blue, red. I think the white is possibly the best Belgian tripel.
Then Westmalle. I have very fond memories of the dubbel from drinking it in various locations (oh yes, the bar in Amsterdam). It's light and not so complex (compared to other famous dark Belgians, especially quadrupels), but it's elegant and delicious. The tripel is also very good.
Achel next. I've not had this beer so many times. When I have, I've thought, damn all Belgian beers are good, but I've not liked it as much as the ones above.
And last, Orval. This is the one my dad likes, and I realize we have absolutely opposite tastes. This is the trappist beer that tastes most like "beer" as we Americans know it. Dry, tangy, hoppy, refreshing. More often than not, I'd rather have a contemplative beer like Rochefort 10.
Though it's not a trappist beer, I would like to mention that St Bernardus is very much like the Trappists--the 12 (quadrupel) is on par with Rochefort 10 and Westvleteren 12, the tripel is excellent, and the white beer is very good too.
re: aventinus
Really nice thread and it made me recall the only time that I have ever had a Trappist beer: Orval, in college. Sorry, I think I just had a Deja Bru moment...
re: aventinus
St. Bernardus is made from Trappist Beer.
re: kelarry
"St. Bernardus is made from Trappist Beer."
The privately owned St. Bernardus brewery once contract-brewed beer for the Trappist Monastery St. Sixtus (brewers of the Westvleteren beers), but their beers can't be called "Trappistenbier" nor are they "made from" Trappist beer.
One could say that they are made "like" the Trappists beers- thus the term "abbey beers".
(Rough translation, but one gets the idea...)
re: slvrmermaidgurl
I think the constant confusion is due to Koningshoeven Brewery in The Netherlands, who were off of the Trappist Brewery list for 6 years. A few years ago I once again saw the logo on one of their bottles and wondered when the heck that happened.
re: weeare138
Just noticed that La Trappe is back on the market and is labeled as a Trappist Ale. Wonder where this leaves Koningshoeven which is from the same Abbey?
re: chimay5
Aren't they the same beers, only labeled differently for different markets? That's the implication given by the US Importer:
"In the USA and Canada the La Trappe Trappist Ales are marketed under the name Koningshoeven Trappist Ale."
re: JessKidden
Well, what I saw were La Trappe and Koningshoeven side by side in a retail account last week. I just wondered if the trade mark dispute had been settled with the US holder of the La Trappe trade name.
I'm sure the beers are the same and that one or the other name will disappear.
I've only tried La Trappe (all), Chimay (all), St Bernardus (Prior 8 and Tripel)
From those... My favorites are Trappe Quadrupel, Chimay Red, and St Bernardus 8
I look forward to trying Rochefort 10 (already spotted a place that sells it here in Chile, but it's like $15 for a 330ml bottle) and Orval (same place)
re: HayatoJin
Hi. i live in Santiago and would love to hear from you where they sell the Rochefort or any other great beer. Cheers Daniel
re: Tripeler
me too, and i've drank all other trappist beers multiple times, some on tap and in bottle. but Westmalle tripel (and/or dubbel) every day keeps the doctor away. in terms of price-quality it's a brilliant tripel. plus, most supermarkets stock it. so much beer pleasure for only eur. 1.25
re: Pata_Negra
I really like the balance of Westmalle Tripel. Not to far away in any direction, just right.
Of course, Orval is very interesting, but it really needs to be fresh and well cared for.
Rochefort 10 is interesting, but really too much unless it is really cold outside.
Chimay has really been dumbed down too much in recent years, though the White on draft is fairly refreshing.
re: Tripeler
Orval, when aged at proper cellar temperature, is amazing with a year on it.
Since the six true trappists have been hashed to death on this thread, I thought I would mention a few I like that are Belgian but not true Trappist.
Gouden Carolus makes some very nice Belgians, especially their Noel Christmas ale - it might be my favorite Belgian, that or St Bernardus 12.
Struise Pannepot is right up there also.
I love the flavor of Des Rocs Brune and Grand Cru, but you have to get past the weird floating chunks of sediment (which don't bother me).
re: ncyankee101
westvleteren 12
rochefort 10
westvletern 8
my top 3
re: deepsouth
Westvleteren is overrated just because it's hard to get. I had it at the brewery cafe and found it too phenolic with way too much hot alcohol. Rochefort 10 is probably my favorite trappist but better than that is probably the St Bernardus 12, which is not trappist.
re: gtweath
i disagree, but that's why opinions often differ. the westy 12 and the rochefort 10 are close and i wish i enjoyed the rochefort more as it is easier to obtain.
re: gtweath
I'd forgotten about this thread.
Recently my sister-in-law got me a couple of Rochefort 10s...
The best approximation I can make to their taste is "chocolate-covered rainbows"
I haven't had the St Bernardus 12 (not available here) but I have had the Prior 8 and it's among my favorite beers; and by far my favorite Dubbel.
re: HayatoJin
Your description of Rochefort 10 is great.
I have always called it "liquid chocolate brownie." It is really a beer for very cold weather, though.
re: Tripeler
I think I got that covered with 6°C
Westvleteren 12, then Rochefort 10. This was my opinion back when I could buy Westvleteren 12 at Whole Foods, and before I was familiar with its status, so it has nothing to do with its difficulty to find today.
Something you beer geeks probably already know but St Bernardus is the actual Westvleteren recipe and they were licensed by the abbey to make the beer until the 90ies or so when the monks decided to get back into the beer business. St Bernardus uses the original Westvleteren yeast strain (both the original brewmaster and yeast went to St Bernardus as part of the license deal). Westvleteren uses Westmalle yeast.
I have not tasted them side by side though ...
There is clearly something to be said about the marketing success of the trappist designation and other abbeys outside of Belgium getting into the beer business as a viable source of income (Switzerland and a new one in the Netherlands, right across the border from Belgium, only 30min drive from the Westmalle abbey).
Trappist beers are great, but it is a bit of a marketing schtick, so I am equally happy with a St Bernardus or Tripel Karmeliet.
re: cwdonald
Currently there are 8 - soon to be 9.
re: LStaff
Didn't know there was an American one in the pipeline. So soon to be 10 (if you count the new Dutch one as well).
Funny how the article's author at the end refers to St Bernardus ABT 12 as one of his faves (technically not a Trappist).
re: estilker
It says ..."quench your thirst for high quality beer with one of our favorites...". I'd consider St Bernardus Abt 12 to be a high quality beer, and of my favorites as well.
re: Tripeler
Can't say I've ever had a bad Trappist beer, but some are better than others.
re: Whisper
Though it would hardly be called a "bad" trappist, the opinions on Orval are very divided. The peppery hops profile is so different from other Trappists and Belgians in general, and is very polarizing.
I thought it was awful the first two times I tried it, but after a friend who also hated it went to Belgium for brewmaster school and came back loving it (and almost everything brett), I tried it again and found it drinkable. I still likely wouldn't buy it when I can get Rochefort 10 at the same price.
re: ncyankee101
I think the brett in Orval is probably the more polarizing ingredient. I think Orval's one of the best trappists out there.
re: Josh
I love Orval and it inspired my best homebrew
re: ncyankee101
Orval is great when paired with cheese. I didn't like it the first time I tried it but that was early in my beer journey. Now, I think it is terrific but it was the cheese pairing (with blue cheeses, if I recall) that opened my eyes and transformed my palate.
re: Beachowolfe
Yea, if I can get ahold of it.

Minnesota Players
On his last play..
On stopping the run…
Junior Place Kicker Jordan Wettstein
Senior Linebacker Gary Tinsley
Senior Running Back Duane Bennett
Junior Quarterback MarQueis Gray
Illinois Head Coach Ron Zook
"We didn't have any offense, particularly in the first half. We turned the ball over, things we said we couldn't do. We lost energy. It's kind of the way it's been the last four or five weeks."
"When you get in situations like that it's about life. When things start going bad somebody's got to stand up and take over. We didn't get that part done"
On fixing problems…
"There's no doubt in my mind we're very, very close. In this league there's a play here and a play there, and you just can't screw up. When things started going south for us we didn't stand up and rise up. But I'm still proud of our guys. The foundation here is very solid. There are a lot of good young players coming back that have a chance to make this team very successful."
"There's not a whole lot I could say. I said it's up to you guys. You guys have to stand up. I told them Monday it's not about me, it's about you. This is your football team. You have to decide how you want to be remembered."
"I think they're a much better football team than what we've shown and that falls on me."

Obama calls out New Jersey Governor Christie in fight for minimum wage hike
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama on Friday singled out New Jersey's embattled Republican Governor Chris Christie for criticism for balking at a push to raise the minimum wage, a move favored by most Americans.
During a meeting with top advisors and a group of 14 Democratic governors at the White House, Obama said Republican governors were out of touch with their constituents on the issue.

Obama meets with Dalai Lama despite China warnings
WASHINGTON/BEIJING (Reuters) – President Barack Obama met exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama on Friday in a show of concern about China's human rights practices, and in spite of warnings from China the visit would "seriously damage" ties between the two countries.
The private meeting appeared to last about an hour, although the Dalai Lama, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was not seen by White House photographers as he entered or exited the complex.
Obama to meet Dalai Lama on Friday as U.S. urges talks with China
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama will meet exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama at the White House on Friday in a show of concern about China's human rights practices.
Obama's midmorning session with the Dalai Lama may well draw a reprimand from China, which views him as a violent separatist because he seeks more autonomy for Tibet.
Obama budget proposal to drop Social Security cuts
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama on Thursday dropped a measure to trim cost-of-living increases in Social Security from an upcoming budget proposal in an election-year move that may insulate fellow Democrats facing heat from senior voters.
The White House said Obama's budget proposal for the 2015 fiscal year, to be released on March 4, will not include a plan he made last year in an effort to gain some Republican support and break through congressional gridlock.
Barack and Francois take center stage at White House
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – There were no "freedom fries" or any other remembrances from strained Franco-American ties in the past. Instead, it was dry-aged beef and plenty of bonhomie as President Barack Obama gave a lavish welcome to French President Francois Hollande.
Obama went out of his way to welcome Hollande at the White House on Tuesday, saying a few words in passable French, teasing the Frenchman for his formality and toying with the notion that U.S. ties with France are as close as they are with old ally Britain.
Obama signs sprawling U.S. farm bill, lauds rural progress
, Feb 7 (Reuters) – In a large barn
smelling faintly of horses, President Barack Obama signed the

ways it can support jobs in America.
"It multi tasks," Obama said, describing how the law supports
not only farmers and ranchers but poor families on food stamps,
researchers working on biofuels, and businesses developing and
exporting new products from rural America.

Secretary Tom Vilsack said on Friday.
Vilsack said whether or not China eventually approves the
corn, known as Agrisure Viptera or MIR 162, it was still being
sold and that Syngenta has "basically have sold out" of its
supply for the 2014 growing season.
Obama says Kerry to 'give me a recommendation' on Keystone project
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama made clear he would make the ultimate call on whether to approve the Keystone XL crude oil pipeline from Canada, and played down the number of jobs the project could create in a Fox News interview to air on Monday.
In recent days, officials from the White House and State Department have emphasized Secretary of State John Kerry's role in determining whether the $5.4 billion project should go ahead, and have shied away from describing Obama's role.
Keystone report raises pressure on Obama to approve pipeline
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Pressure for President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline increased on Friday after a State Department report played down the impact it would have on climate change, irking environmentalists and delighting the project's proponents.
The agency made no recommendation on whether Obama should grant or deny an application by TransCanada Corp to build the $5.4 billion line, which would transport crude from Alberta's oil sands to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast.

A man was assaulted in front of the courthouse downtown Sunday.
The victim said an older man with a cane pulled a knife on him out of the blue.
"So I walked up to him because I thought he would let me buy a cigarette and he just stabbed me in my chest real quick -- and that was it," victim Larry Smith said.
But witnesses said that's not the whole story and police are still trying to get to the bottom of it.
In the meantime, police have the older man in custody, but that suspect is claiming self-defense.

Home Improvement News: Invest in paint now to safeguard your home
By Paint Quality Institute
Now that Labor Day has come and gone, most of the country is entering the stretch run of the exterior painting season. If your house is in need of a new paint job, there's little time to waste: "Paint-friendly" weather is fast disappearing.
"Doing exterior painting in the right weather conditions is extremely important," said Debbie Zimmer, paint and color expert at the Paint Quality Institute. "Fresh paint forms a better protective film when it's applied in moderate weather like that commonly seen in early autumn. If your house needs to be painted this year, you need to paint it now."
To appreciate the urgency, it's important to understand how paint "cures." While latex paint dries to the touch very quickly, it actually takes many hours for it to form the most protective paint film. If the temperature is very hot when the paint is applied — or more likely as winter approaches, if nighttime temperatures get very cold — that can adversely affect film formation, and even lead to early flaking and peeling of the paint.
This point is vividly demonstrated on test panels at the Paint Quality Institute. More than 40 years of outdoor testing there shows that exterior paint applied in moderate conditions can last many years longer than paints applied in very hot, very cold or even very windy weather.
Those extra years of service can offer homeowners a big return on their investment in an exterior paint job. As an example, let's say a new paint job costs $3,000. If it lasts only five years, the annualized cost is $600; but if it holds up for 10 years, the annualized cost is only $300 — half as much!
As the days get shorter and winter approaches, painting in moderate weather is one of the most important factors in getting a long-lasting exterior paint job. Other things that can affect the longevity of a coating aren't so time-sensitive, according to Zimmer.
"To get the most durable paint job, it's always very important to properly prepare exterior surfaces and to use a top-quality paint," she said.
Good exterior surface preparation requires that siding and trim be clean and free of dust, dirt and mildew, so that the new paint can adhere properly. Of course, peeling, flaking or otherwise unstable paint should be completely removed, and any bare wood primed before painting.
As for the type of paint to use, studies show that high-quality, 100 percent acrylic latex paints are the most durable coatings for most home exteriors, including wood, masonry, vinyl and aluminum siding. These paints adhere well, they're tough, and they're very flexible, so they tend to expand or contract with the home exterior when temperatures rise or fall dramatically.
Which brings us back to the weather: As the song says, "For everything, there is a season." When it comes to exterior painting, that season is now.

City panel OKs $1 million in school building design work
City Finance Director Bill Sanders told the committee the district should be able to cover the debt service on the bonding, which would first have to be approved by the aldermen.
Both the overhaul of MST and filling in the open classrooms have long been unfunded priorities for members of the school board. The partial walls at Beech and Webster result in a difficult learning environment, critics have said. The work at MST is to include more classroom space, a gym and a library — features that are required by the state for four-year high schools.
Right now we're at the limit of students that can fit in the building."
Assistant Superintendent David Ryan replied, "We don't anticipate coming back ... and asking for additional money to expand the facility."
New bonds would not be authorized until the bid process is complete.

Take a Class with Andrea
Food impacts all functions of your body, and therefore how you function in the world.
Food is the cornerstone for your strength and vitality. This is true whether you're looking to heal from a current or chronic condition, whether you're intending to improve the quality of your life, or if you're aiming to achieve maximal energy and longevity. Replenish PDX offers a curriculum of courses aimed at educating people how to make positive dietary changes in their lives and the ways in which these changes can help them to both heal and thrive in all aspects of their lives. With Replenish PDX my goal is to help you see and experience the reciprocity between good eating and a truly fulfilling life.

You'll Love Replenish Classes Too:
I loved the Fat or Fiction Homestudy course! The program is well thought out and very informative. I liked that Andrea provides the transcripts so that you don't even have to take notes. The recipes that she includes are delicious. I had heard years ago that coconut oil was good for you, but you often hear this or that is good for you and then later you hear that it's not good for you, right? Very frustrating. Andrea explains the chemistry of fat in an easy to understand way, why fats got a bad rap in the first place, how to incorporate fats into the diet and much more. Now I know why fats are beneficial on a deeper level and feel comfortable with my decisions.
~ Barbara Loomis, LMT
Thank you for Your Vibrant Child. Its such an eye opening, well-developed, and creative approach to children's nutrition. You have such wonderful insight and incredibly delicious recipes. Our family has enjoyed every moment of this journey!
~ Heather Petzold
I've felt good, explored new markets and new recipes and proved to myself that I can actually find the discipline to avoid sugar (my biggest vice)! This can clearly be attributed to the wonderful protocol and delicious fiber-rich recipes you have designed to nourish, satisfy and delight us. Thank you so much for making this cleansing opportunity available to us and for providing a community support forum in order to guide and deepen our experiences.

This was not the best Christmas ever.
|Tue, 12-28-2010 - 9:08pm
Molly, what a not fun Christmas for you! I'm sorry about your dad. ITs hard being so far away from family. My dad had his knee replaced just before Christmas and I know how hard it was to be here and not there.
|Wed, 12-29-2010 - 8:55am
I'm really sorry about your dad. Sending lots and lots of P&PT his way.
|Wed, 12-29-2010 - 10:30am
Molly, I'm so sorry to hear this. I feel like I can say I know what you're going through because my dad passed in 2009 after being ill (but surviving and with us!) 7 years (and being told at the time of diagnosis that he could have as little as six months). What I can say is that it was like going through the grieving process twice, once upon diagnosis and again when he actually passed. I really really hope you are able to rule out CMV soon so that you can see him... whether you have six months with him or 10 years, every moment that you have will later be cherished. My parents also lived in another state so I know how hard it is to not be nearby. :(
Lots and lots of hugs and hope and P&PT to you. And I'm glad the baby scare turned out ok too!!
|Wed, 12-29-2010 - 12:38pm

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I hope he responds to treatment and that you get good news. (((Hugs)) Sending you P&PT.

According to media reports the developer in charge of the project plans to remove an approximately 25-meter long piece of the Wall and transfer it elsewhere in order to allow access to the construction site. Critics, including East Side Gallery mural artists and Spree River embankment development opponents, decry the move, citing the East Side Gallery's status as a protected landmark and a majortourist attraction.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A 33-year-old man accused of murder in the slaying of his girlfriend in Washington state, posting photos of her body online, and writing that he wanted authorities to kill him has peacefully surrendered in Oregon.
Mixed in among the accounts of top-level diplomacy, however, are revealing nuggets of daily life.

VALHALLA, N.Y. – County Executive Robert Astorino said that Westchester County was "pretty lucky" overall in combating the winter storm that slammed the region.
More than a foot of snow fell on Westchester County on Friday and Saturday morning. Currently, buses, trains and planes from Westchester County Airport are all operating.
"We had minimal outages that were taken care of right away," Astorino said. "There was no major damage that we know of. The DPW, police departments and emergency services all did outstanding jobs and took care of the problems. It was a bad snowstorm and we got through it."
Astorino said it was convenient that the storm hit Friday night, because most people had already gotten home and crews were able to clear the roads.
Astorino said people still have to be careful in the aftermath of the storm, especially when it comes to shoveling snow.
"If you have a heart condition or if you are old, you shouldn't be exerting yourself," Astorino said. "The snow isn't heavy but it is high. At this point it may be useful to take out a $20 and give it to neighborhood teens to shovel to give them something to do. Also, please check on your neighbors."
Westchester County closed its emergency operations center in Valhalla at 1 p.m. but other counties weren't as lucky. Astorino said that he has reached out to Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone to offer help if the county on Long Island needs it.
"They got two to three feet in Suffolk and we'll help any way that we can. "If they need DPW crews and supplies we'll go out there."
