If the reaction of those in attendance means anything, July 8, 1883 — 130 years ago — was a big day for Terre Haute baseball fans.
It was the day the Terre Haute Awkwards, one of the city's first professional teams, defeated the Louisville Eclipse, Jr., 4 to 1.
The opponent was the reserve team for the Louisville Eclipse, a member of the major league American Association.
The exhibition game was played at the Awkwards' new amphitheatre at 17th and Wabash. The crowd was considered large and, according to post-game reports, the players were inspired by the presence of "so many ladies."
The local team had one disadvantage. The players did not arrive home from their game at Peoria until 4 a.m., leaving little time to rest before the 2:45 p.m. game.
Team captain Al Buckenberger had "his usual good luck," according to the Terre Haute newspaper by winning the coin toss and choosing to bat last. Mike Stack was the Awkwards' temporary manager. Andy Kaufman was the umpire.
Walter "Peek-A-Boo" Leach, an Indianapolis product, was the starting pitcher for the home team, and James "Deacon" McGuire was the catcher. It was McGuire's first appearance in a Terre Haute uniform (or any pro team uniform, for that matter).
The first batter for the Eclipse, dressed in colorful yellowish-brown uniforms, was second baseman Tom McLaughlin, a starter for the Eclipse major league team. He hit a high foul fly. Veach called out the ball was out of play but McGuire pursued it and made a spectacular catch against a screen protecting "the Ladies section."
The play received ample applause and set the tone for the game. The next two men were retired in succession.
The Awkwards scored in the bottom of the first. Left fielder Ed Horn singled and Veach brought him home with a double.
The visitors scored their only run in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game on successive hits by Charles "Chub" Collins and August "Gus" Ruhl, assisted by an error.
Terre Haute shortstop Douglas "Shorty" Barnes opened the bottom of the eighth with a sharp single to centerfield. Five of the next seven batters got base hits and three runs were scored. Horn, Ed Halbriter and Buckenberger were credited with RBIs.
The scene while the Awkwards were on a roll was "exciting in the extreme." The Eclipse refused to play until the unruly crowd quieted down and threatened to score in the bottom of the ninth but the side was retired with two men on base.
The victory was a product of timeliness: precision hitting and the inability of the visitors to hit Veach in crucial situations.
The Terre Haute Gazette lauded the Awkwards' catcher from Albion, Mich.: "McGuire … is all that could be desired."
Gate receipts for the game were $221.65. The Eclipse got one-half of that sum.
The Awkwards was one of two very strong independent professional teams in the city. They dominated the north half of the city. The Terre Haute Blues were the best team on the south side.
There was an intense rivalry between the two. Each club recruited players from far outside Terre Haute.
On July 30, 1883 tryouts were held and the two teams consolidated. Among those who apparently did not tryout or did not make the cut were Andy Gallagher of Terre Haute, father of movie star Skeets Gallagher, Thomas C. Stunkard, later a prominent Terre Haute physician, and veteran Blues first baseman Major Milner.
Veach was not on the Hottentots' 1883 roster but played for Kansas City of the Union Association in 1884, Louisville of the American Association in 1887 and both Cleveland and Pittsburgh of the National League in 1890.
Those who made the roster were fitted for new gray uniforms with "Terre Haute" printed across the front. Caps of the new "Terre Hautes" were bottle green. Stockings and belts were brown. An enterprising journalist provided the nickname, "Hottentots."
The team traveled around the eastern U.S. playing exhibition games against some of the nation's best pro and semi-pro teams. It's success resulted in the fruitful effort to join the Northwestern League in 1884, perhaps the nation's best minor league.
That association effectively launched Terre Haute's 73-year relationship with organized professional baseball that ended, sadly, on July 3, 1956.
The directors of the 1883 Terre Haute Baseball Association were Edwin Ellis, Merrill N. Smith, Eli W. Leeds, Charles W. Robinson, George A. Hammerstein and Charles E. Vandever.
Ellis was president, Leeds was treasurer and Alonzo "Cap" Duddleston succeeded Robinson as secretary. Duddleston played briefly for the Terre Haute Blues.
When the season ended on Oct. 8, McGuire and third baseman Will Andrus of Orono, Ontario, were tied for the best batting average on the team at .309. First baseman Al Stump of Terre Haute and pitcher-third baseman James Donnelly of New Haven, Conn., were tied at .298 for third place.
The remaining roster looked like this:
Outfielder-catcher Charles Krehmeyer, St. Louis, .288; second baseman Albert "Cod" Myers, Terre Haute, .284; first baseman-outfielder Horn, Detroit, .282; second baseman Buckenberger, Detroit, .268; shortstop Barnes, Indianapolis but a native of Brownsburg, .267; infielder Sam Hill, Terre Haute, .251; pitcher-outfielder Henry Murphy, New Orleans, .250; pitcher-outfielder Halbriter, Auburn, N.Y., .173; pitcher-outfielder Billy Nelson, Terre Haute, .168; and pitcher-outfielder Arthur T. Packard, Ann Arbor, Mich., .130.
McGuire, Krehmeyer, Myers, Buckenberger and Nelson later played in the majors. Halbriter played with the Philadelphia A's of the major league American Association in 1882.
And Henry Murphy pitched for Indianapolis in 1883 before the Awkwards acquired him.

'Thor' hammers 'Bridesmaids' at box office
LOS ANGELES (AP) - "Thor" nailed down the No. 1 spot at the box office again.
Paramount's 3-D superhero film starring Chris Hemsworth as Marvel's hammer-toting god of thunder earned $34.5 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.
That brings the total haul of "Thor" to $119.2 million, though not quite as impressive as fellow comic book hero "Iron Man 2," which earned $211.2 million by its second weekend the same time last year.
"`Thor' had a really great playing field to work on for its second weekend in theaters," said Paul Dergarabedian, box office analyst for Hollywood.com. "For a big-budget Marvel Comics film that opened very solidly to drop only 48 percent indicates some very strong word of mouth. I think Kenneth Branagh being the director really brought a lot to the table."
Universal's "Bridesmaids," the raunchy comedy starring Kristen Wiig as a down-on-her-luck maid of honor, debuted above expectations in second place with $24.4 million. Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, attributed the movie's good reviews and word of mouth to wide audience appeal: 67 percent of the audience was female; 33 percent male.
"That's pretty good considering this is a picture titled 'Bridesmaids,'" said Rocco.
The next adversary for "Thor" arrives next week with the opening of "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," the fourth film in the blockbuster Disney franchise starring Johnny Depp as mischievous pirate Capt. Jack Sparrow. On Memorial Day weekend come the sequels "The Hangover Part II" from Warner Bros. and "Kung Fu Panda 2" from Paramount.
"The cavalry is about to arrive," said Dergarabedian. "We're poised for a strong Memorial Day weekend. We're down year-to-date about 13 percent on revenue. A month ago, we were down 20 percent. We're making up ground, and this weekend was down only 3 percent, which is impressive considering the strength of 'Iron Man 2' in its second weekend a year ago."
Universal's car-racing sequel "Fast Five" with Dwayne Johnson shifted into the third position with $19.5 million in its third weekend in theaters.
Sony's 3-D vampire-hunting graphic novel adaptation "Priest" opened in fourth place with $14.5 million, while Fox's animated bird tale "Rio" landed at fifth place with $8 million in its fifth weekend in theaters.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final figures will be released Monday.
1. "Thor," $34.5 million.
2. "Bridesmaids," $24.4 million.
3. "Fast Five," $19.5 million.
4. "Priest," $14.5 million.
5. "Rio," $8 million.
6. "Jumping the Broom," $7.3 million.
7. "Something Borrowed," $7 million.
8. "Water for Elephants," $4.1 million.
9. "Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family," $2.2 million.
10. "Soul Surfer," $1.8 million.

They forgot our breakfast. Breakfast should be included in price. B&B
Had a lovely visit, stayed here after going to Alton Towers for the day, it is very reasonably priced, and the bar does cheap food/drinks, similar to a weather spoons menu and all the staff are lovely. The rooms are big and clean, we really couldn't fault it for a place to crash after a long day of roller coasters!
Nothing bad to say whatsoever, would definitely stay again and maybe see some more of the nearby countryside next time
Staff friendly. Everything u need in and outside the hotel, close to Alton towers. Very good value drinks in the bar, and cheap breakfast.
Shower was not great, mainly because of lime scale
Value for money, Nice and friendly staff, Flexible with customer's needs, Large rooms, clean and comfortable beds, fantastic breakfast taste
Late check in time, No shampoo
On arrival we were made to fsel welcome
Room was nice enough, with a bathroom, check in was great, really friendly guest staff. Food was affordable and not bad for the price. Would highly recommend for the price
Often left waiting at the bar
rooms were of a good size and clean
most staff were helpful and friendly, however we were with a gay couple and a couple of staff members were a bit off with them
Value for money was great and the restaurant has plenty of choice at a good price.
The pillows were a little lumpy and the duvet a bit heavy but all in all we enjoyed our stay.
I stayed with 7 other friends and we had 4 twin rooms. We all thought it was great value for money and only a 25 minute drive to Alton Towers (which was the purpose of our visit). The rooms were standard twin rooms with everything you would expect from them. The local facilities were great also. It was part of a Hungry Horse so we didn't need to waste time looking for places to eat. There is a 24 hour McDonalds in the same car park (if that's what you like) and a Tesco Extra across the road which we found useful.
The showers weren't great. Our four rooms were all on the same floor and when we were all getting ready at the same time the pressure wasn't that great. We didn't see it as a big deal though, we just got on with it.
Bar area
The staff were very friendly and welcoming
The threadbare furniture in the room and the fact that all the wooden surfaces were sticky so that anything placed on them stuck.
Friendliness and helpfulness of staff
Could have done with better soundproofing from room above. Lots of somping and creaking
Staff were friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant attached was exceptional.
The room we were allocated was on the ground floor with no curtains, only blinds so there was no way to shut out the light. Also the bathroom could have been cleaner
Location was good for visiting Alton Towers. Nice pub attached & friendly staff.

Madonna Revolutionizes Popular Fashion (Great Events from History II: Arts and Culture Series)
Article abstract: Many music fans and cultural critics were outraged when rock star Madonna, wearing visible black lacy brassieres and other undergarments, popularized the wearing of such items as outerwear.
Summary of Event
Even her use of a single name illustrates rock star Madonna's irreverent reaction to the traditional. After recording her debut album Madonna in 1983, she came out with Like a Virgin in 1984, and a string of successful albums followed. Singles from her albums hit the top of the charts, contributing to worldwide sales of more than sixty million albums by 1990. Yet many of her songs, though popular, offended broad segments of the public. Detractors objected to her frank statements about such topics as virginity, abortion, out-of-wedlock births, and materialism as well as to her overall image of open sexuality, expressed both through her songs and through her choices of clothing.
The "material girl," as Madonna referred to herself in one song, contributed significantly to the world of fashion through her choice of clothing to wear onstage during live performances and in her widely popular music videos. She chose clothing that was aggressively provocative, including brassieres and other undergarments worn in plain sight. In many ways, she updated the "blonde bombshell" image projected in the 1950's by actress Marilyn Monroe, creating a 1980's version of a...

Ashes 2013-14: Joe Root may bat three, hints Graham Gooch
- 02 December 2013
England batting coach Graham Gooch hinted Joe Root will take Jonathan Trott's place at three for the second Test against Australia as Tim Bresnan was declared fit for selection.
Bresnan has been officially added to the touring Ashes squad and may well start ahead of Chris Tremlett as England look to fight back from the 381-run defeat in Brisbane.
Root's move up the order is expected to leave room for Gary Ballance to make his Test debut, although Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow are also in the frame.
England have to make changes to their batting line-up after Trott left the Ashes because of a long-standing stress-related condition.
Gooch told BBC Sport: "Root is an opener. We didn't obviously foresee this situation with Trott, but players have to adapt.
"Whoever comes into the team, whether it is Ballance, Stokes or Bairstow, I would have thought they would come in down the order.
"If Joe is selected at number three, or Ian Bell, either of them will relish the opportunity and relish the challenge. You have got to go out there and stick your chest out for England, and that is what both of them will do if they are asked to fulfil that role."
Ballance top-scored with 55 as England drew their tour match against a Chairman's XI in Alice Springs over the weekend, with all-rounder Stokes making 28.
Zimbabwe-born Ballance was believed to be pencilled in to play at six in the first Test, but his poor form in the warm-up games and the contrasting heavy scoring of Michael Carberry brought a rethink.
The selection of Stokes would allow England to pick another bowler, possibly Monty Panesar, on a pitch at the Adelaide Oval that has proved slightly more helpful to spinners than pace bowlers this season.
Gooch said: "Ballance got stuck in well in Alice Springs - I like his temperament and the way he plays.
"Stokes has impressed as well with his attitude and the way he's gone about his cricket. I think we all think he's noticeably improved in the last month."
Australia, meanwhile, are likely to go into the Test with an unchanged side from the one that hammered England at the Gabba.
There had been the slim possibility that coach Darren Lehmann might rest the injury-prone Ryan Harris on a pitch that has been a batsman's paradise in the past month, but Harris insists he will play on.
He said: "I'll be all guns blazing here as well. I'm not going to miss a Test unless I really have to.
"I said that from the start I want to play five matches. All the reports about me resting - I hadn't even had a conversation with Boof [Lehmann], and he hasn't mentioned one word about me resting which is good. I'm ready to go here."
Harris backed his coach's assertion that there would be no mention of Trott during play after the batsman flew home from the tour.
"I'd be disappointed if anyone brings that up," said Harris. "It's not a nice thing that he's going through.
"We want Jonathan Trott back playing cricket, the whole world does. He's obviously made a big decision to go back and I'd love to see him playing soon.
"I had some great battles with him over in England and I was looking forward to doing that again here. Hopefully he gets back playing soon because the England team need him but world cricket needs him. He's a world class player."
But Harris admitted there would be no other quarter given despite the fact that match referee Jeff Crowe will speak to both captains before the Test to ask that they tone down the sledging that dominated the first Test.
Michael Clarke was fined 20% of his match fee at the Gabba after the stump microphone picked him up telling James Anderson to "get ready for a broken arm".
Harris told BBC Sport: "We'll keep that pressure and aggression up. A lot has been said about the sledging, but it's stuff that's been going on for a long time.
"It's the same for both ways. We give it to them and they give it to us. It's Ashes cricket; everyone wants to win."
Ashes 2013-14: Bowler Tim Bresnan added to England squad
- 02 December 2013
Bowler Tim Bresnan has been added to England's squad for the second Ashes Test against Australia which begins in Adelaide on Thursday.
The 28-year-old, who has recovered from a back injury, produced a solid display against Queensland Second XI last Thursday to push for a Test place.
The Yorkshireman took 4-31 for the England Performance Programme team.
A stress fracture of the back has ruled seamer Bresnan out of selection since the fourth Ashes Test in August.
England must shuffle their batting order following Jonathan Trott's return home with a stress-related condition.
Batting coach Graham Gooch has confirmed that either Bresnan's fellow Yorkshireman Joe Root or Ian Bell will move to number three in place of Trott.
Both Root and Bell say they are happy to bat anywhere for England, who suffered a resounding 381-run defeat in the first Test.
On Saturday, Bell said: "We've spoken about it and I'm absolutely willing to go to number three."
And a day later, Root said: "It doesn't matter to me, I just love playing for England. Regardless of whether I'm opening, three, five, six, it's been brilliant.
"If I get the chance to do it, it would be a great challenge for me - and I'd love to do it."
Root says he is eager to resume rivalries with Australia and bowler Mitchell Johnson in the second Test, which starts on Thursday.
England failed to deal with Johnson's pace as he took 9-103 in Brisbane.
"It's great - that's why you play Test cricket, to get in confrontations and battles like that and try to be successful," said Root, 22.
"Bring it on. It should be good fun. I'm really looking forward to it."
Root was dismissed for two in England's first innings in Brisbane, before scoring a resolute 26 not out in the second innings.
His latter knock from 118 balls appeared to frustrate Johnson as the Aussie bowler aimed a sarcastic smile at Root, who refused to get drawn into the type of verbal confrontation which overshadowed the first Test.
"Guys are out there to win, and it's all part of the game," added Root.
"Whether you like it or not, you have to deal with it on the field and find your own way to cope.
"If the ICC want to step in when they think things have gone too far, that's up to them. But all we can do is control what we're doing, and try to win the game for our country.
"I enjoy being out there, and the battles you get are all part of the game. I'm sure it will continue the whole series."
"If we perform well that's best way of counter-acting it.
Root opened with captain Alastair Cook in the summer Ashes series before batting at number six in the first Test.

Gibson EB-1 wiring Please forgive the ignorance of my question, I know how to solder and have been rewiring and repairing my instruments for years, always following the "put that wire there" instructions, without understanding how or what each component actually does. So here's the situation: on my Gibson EB-1 (one pickup, one volume, one tone), there is a capacitor, .033, between the bottom lug of the volume and the center lug of the tone controle, I believe this to be a standard wiring configuration, no problem there. BUT, there is also a capacitor, very difficult to read, but I believe it says .01m 50v, soldered between the bottom lug of the volume pot and grounded to the back of the volume pot. The hot lug of the pickup is also soldered to this same bottom lug. The pickups ground is soldered to the top lug, and there is a wire going from the center lug to ground. So the question: what is the purpose of that second capacitor, and would removing it change the sound of the bass? BTW this wiring and the original pickup are not currently in the bass; I switched to a Dimarzio Model One years ago, along with Dimarzio push/pull pots. |
Basic capacitor function is to bleed out treble from the signal path. So the bass would probably sound brighter without it in the circuit. Is that a 50's EB1? Hope you still have the original pickup, especially if it's the Bakelite covered single coil version. |
1969, still have all original parts, bought in 1977. I've never seen another one in person, except for a 1956 model at Gruhns in Nashville that I was allowed to play. I know the large cap bleeds the treble to ground, but that second cap is the one I'm wondering about. Would removing it from the circuit improve the sound? |
The original wiring (1972) can be found in my wiring compilation ... YES ... The EB-1 has a "flexible" tone cap at the volume pot. In 1972 it was a 22nF cap - but it might have been a 33nF cap in 1969. Especially as the EB-0 has a 10nF and a 33nF cap as standard. The 10nF cap at the volume pot is a "fixed" cap. It is soldered at the volume pot - but "electrically seen" it is "directly parallel" to the pickup. Because soldered "fixed" to the pickup, it always bleeds the treble. This was the Gibson sound, bass players liked from the 50s to the 70s. It was mostly a flatwound time! Roundwound strings were very rare and only guys like John Entwistle did everything to get these roundwound strings ... You can remove the 10nF cap. Then you will get more trble - and the tone pot with the 33nF cap will work as it did before. Because the 10nF is wired in parallel, it can easily be removed and the bass / wiring works anyway ... |
Hey Cadfael, you're the man! You're schematics are a great resource to the entire bass playing community. Somebody referred me to your site when I was researching what schematic to use for a custom bass I'm having made with a single thunderbird type pickup. Thanks a gazillion. |
Thanx for your replies! Didn't know the word gazillion (I'm German) ... :) Now I know! My word would be "beerillion" :D Even more beer than you can imagine ... :D Well .. My compilation is a mixture of schematic research (especially Gibson) and a mixture of schemetic research plus photo research and comparison (Fender). Some custom ideas are "common", some are by others and sone are made by myself (a "wiring child of the early 80s"). I qouted the excellent Gibson bass site in my compilation. A lot of wiring photos (adding the schematics Gibson offers). I found some additional photos on search engines to varify the things I found out ... The advantage of my compilation is that you can easily compare the Gibon schematics during time and find similarities between models of the same age. By the way ... Fender did "the Gibson thing" with its MusicMaster bass! Fender also put in a "fixed" 22nF cap (parallel to the PU), adding the 50nF tone pot cap. |
Cadfael schematics That's interesting about the MusicMaster. Of course Fender also got the design for their wide range humbucking pickup from a Gibson designer, Seth Lover, as well. So it could be interesting to try wiring a 70's telecaster bass like an EB-0 or vice versa. If one were so inclined they could do so using this link. http://161589.homepagemodules.de/t29...-E-Baesse.html EB-0 on seite (page) 102, Telecaster bass on pg. 52 Just click on the pdf at the bottom of the page This link should be a sticky. |
Hi SturmUndDrang, (a Goethe fan???) The MusicMaster had a guitar pickup on board. Some say it was a Strat PU but I think it was another guitar PU (because of the number of wirings). A guitar PU can work in a bass as well as a bass PU - but this was a "typical Fender guitar SC PU". So Fender might have added the fixed parallel cap to make it sound more "bass like" ... The Telecaster II with its Seth Lover PU already has a (Gibson guitar PU like) humbucker on board and needed no additional cap. The Seth Lover is also known for not being the most brilliant PU. That's surely not the case for the MusicMaster guitar-SC PU (without cap) ... |
I was thinking Beethoven more than Goethe and I also thought it was an appropriate screen name for a site than can have it's fair share of drama and turmoil. It also sounds cool. |
So at what frequency does the secondary cap roll off? |
Anyone out there know about the roll off of the second cap? |
I don't know the exact frequency of the rolloff, but I can tell you that the .033μF (same as 33nF, I am used to the traditional nomenclature) capacitor does retain more mids in the mix when the tone knob is rolled off compared to the .047μF; and I like the additional mids so much I change out the stock .047 tone capacitor to .033 on all of my basses. It gives me that "second overtone" presence that gives more definition in the mix that I don't get with the .047. This helps my Fender flats retain their "growl," but when rolled off I can still get as mellow as needs be when desired. |

S: Sweet vanilla and chocolate aroma. T: Overpowering vanilla aroma with a solid chocolate background. M: Medium body and medium carbonation. O: Interesting brew – way too sweet! Had to mix it with pumking to mellow it out.

The taste is not nearly as sweet as the smell, and is a little bit of burnt coffee. As I let the beer warm a bit (as I should have with a stout), the flavors mellowed and blended better. The sweetness lasts a little longer, and melds into the bitterness that has become more toasted nut than burnt coffee, although espresso notes remain. M: the colder sips left an in appealing oily taste on the tongue. This was less present as it warmed, although it was replaced with an alcohol tinge. O: for what I envisioned this is, a dessert-ish stout, it stands up pretty well. I think the alcohol is a little too prevalent, and I wish there was a little more maltiness to it. I realize it is an imperial, which is why I rated it a little higher than my tastes would have dictated.

Looks fine but not much head or bubbles even with aggressive pouring. I really like all the information on the bottle about what is in it and what to pair it with etc. This smells vanilla like a delicious desert. I don't know if beer should smell like this but what a great smell! This tastes just a little like it smells up front then metallic bitterness. The more you drink the more nasty, metallic bitterness comes through. I had to eat something with this to try to finish it. This is not a sweet stout. This is a bitter stout. Mouth feel is nice. If you pinch your nose you can really pay more attention to the mouth feel and it is nice. Overall, I do not want to ever drink this again or anything else with that Guinness-like metal tasting bitter finish. I do like to smell it but I guess that is just a tease.

Complete lack of normal stout flavors. However, the name and taste align perfecting, southern tier is right on the money in that regard. M: Smooth and silky. Finishes nicely O: So I have to admit, I personally am not a fan of this brew. However, that being said, the name Creme Brulee is perfect and it lives up to its name. If you like over powered flavored beer, you will love this, if you don't, proceed with caution. Regardless, it is worth a taste to expand your flavor profiles and what can be done with beer. I rated it highly because the name fits the taste, and although I don't really like it, I am sure others will love it.

Personally, I loved it. A -- Not much of a head when poured, but quite black. Looks and feels substantial. S -- Intense smell of fresh Creme Brulee. Some coffee hints and hints of chocolate, as well. T -- Immediate sweetness. This is possibly the single-most sweetest beer I have ever had. But I love it. I love Creme Brulee, and this beer really captures that well. M -- Substantial. Very thick, very heavy. Hard to drink quickly. O -- Amazing. I love this brew and would order it over and over again. But, at the same time, this is definitely a beer that divides people and I can see why.

S – Caramel, chocolate and coffee--I just sat there and savored it for several minutes, happy in the moment. T – When I finally tasted it, CBS tasted like it smelled! Pleasant and well balanced flavors, sweet but not overly so. As soon as I tasted it, I knew a glass of this would suffice for dessert, though I imagine a scoop of ice cream or a piece of chocolate cake would be a suitable pairing.. F – Modest carbonation that stuck around. At least for as long as it took me to drink 5 oz.! O – Delicous and delightful dessert beer. If I had ordered a pint, I probably would have asked for either Kahlua or Cointreau as an accompaniment. Hard to tell that this was an alcoholic beverage.

I first had it on tap at the brewery tour. It was super smooth and had a taste unlike I had had before. It is a coffee, chocolate, and vanilla like no other. If the vanilla sweetness was turned down just a pinch this beer would be taken to a 5. The smell of this fine stout might be the best of any beer out there and makes you close your eyes and breath in deep again and again. They should make it into an air freshener.

Caramel is very strong, along with milk, vanilla bean, chocolate, and a tiny hint of coffee, can definitely smell the alcohol as well, but it mixes very well, easily one of the best smelling beers I've had so far T: Loads of caramel and vanilla bean to begin with, sometimes it tastes more like creamy vanilla bean,then finishes with a mix of chocolate, coffee, and caramel combined, very sweet but very good, the first drink I had the alcohol was very present (caught me off guard but I did not mind it), but the second and third drink it was hardly noticeable and the alcohol presence faded more and more with every drink M: Very smooth and creamy! That being said it doesn't seem like it is as thick as it should be for an imperial stout O: Fantastic beer, wish it was a little thicker, and the alcohol presence to not be as strong for the first sip or two, but very sweet, I love sweets and truly enjoyed this beer, it truly is dessert in a bottle, if you enjoy sweets as much as I do this is a must have!

Appearance: Poured a jet black with one finger of khaki head from a 22 oz bomber into a snifter, head fades slowly, leaving chunky lacing on my glass. Smell: Lactose strong, caramel, chocolate and just awesome sweetness. Nothing like a beer, bordering on indulgent dessert but very inviting. Taste: Very creamy, silky caramel, a bit of coffee, some milk chocolate and dark malty goodness. Loads of caramel, milky goodness and bit of alcohol but very subtle. Mouthfeel: Medium to heavy bodied with a silky creaminess. A great sipper to be enjoyed after dinner. A bomber is honestly a bit sweet for me to take down myself, yet I accomplished it easily. Overall: Fantastic for what it is -- a dessert beer and a real treat. I recommend splitting a 22 ounce bomber with a friend after dinner. So sweet but so good.

The smell was sweet and reminded me of a melted ice-cream treat with vanilla and caramel. Honestly a 4 ounce pour of this would be enough as a "sipping desert" - like a cold sweet Starbucks drink with a kick. At 9.5ABV and 25 Plato, it's just what it is. Overall, just a bit too much for me. I could taste it again and again when I burped. Just got the feeling it ain't done till it's overdone.

T: Vanilla and stout make a good mix, but I have some reservations because the hit of vanilla and caramel is so strong. While I'm impressed by the craft shown by the effort, the desert flavors promised almost eclipsed the notes I expect in a stout. M: The feel was somewhat heavy on the tongue, coating and lingering. O: Southern Tier has explored the intersection between confection and stout before to great effect. Crème Brulee left me wanting a bit more balance, as the vanilla ultimately took over.

It's 9.5% ABV, and NOT the 9.6% listed on this site (how DARE they mistake the ABV by a tenth of a percentage point!). A fairly fast-fleeting head of about two fingers. It was the tan hue of golden brown sugar. The color is black with a tiny bit of murky brown around the edges. I take a sniff of this milk stout... and I realize that it's one of those beers that not only smells GOOD, but unlike any other beer I've had. Butterscotch, vanilla, and that candy corn that you get around Halloween all come through STRONG in the scent. I can smell it when it's a foot or two away from my nose. There might be a little maple syrup and bourbon in the aroma as well, and also an indescrbably fruity character... It smells SWEET. Damn, that's good. The taste brings forth what the scent promised, although not quite as much sweetness. It's a rich, flavorful blend of vanilla, butterscotch, and caramel. Like burnt sugar, really. An aptly-named beverage be this, and one what briefly causes me to talk in the manner of a pirate for no apparent reason. True to its style, this is both milky and sweet, but not TOO sweet. Aye, not for me, anyhow. There's an unmistakable likeness to toasted marshmallow in the flavor, and a woody, ashy, roasty earthiness in the finish... a superb stout finish that wraps up an impeccable flavor profile. The feel? Awesome, like every other Southern Tier offering I've been privileged enough to try. Stunningly, supremely syrupy and sticky, and creamy like custard. I loooove it. Is it weird that a drink what which drinks kinda like molasses is so very drinkable to me? This one explores the uncharted waters of stout-brewing territory and reaps gloriously unique and resplendent rewards.

My bottle lists a 9.50% abv, rather than the 9.60% abv listed on BeerAdvocate. Excited to have this beer in my grasp, based upon it's good reviews, and based on how well I enjoyed the Southern Tier Choklat. Expecting similar results here. Poured into a clear balloon snifter glass. A - Pours an opaque black colored body with two fingers of creamy mocha colored head. Some faint ruby shows through when held to the light. Head retention is very good, considering this beer's high abv. S - This is where the beer really kicks things up a notch. I've seriously never smelled a beer like this before. Big creamy natural vanilla beans, ice cream, white sugar, buttered toffee, caramel, cappuccino, coffee, chocolate, hint of alcohol fumes, and just a dash of cherry tartness buried in the end. Very sweet, but an epic smelling beer, hands down. T - Taste mimics the nose: although not quite as astounding as I had imagined. Smooth creamy chocolate, vanilla, white sugar, cappuccino, toffee, caramel, a hint of hop bitterness on the end, and some faint alcohol warmth. The big 9.50% abv is expertly well disguised. M - Feel is sticky and sugary. Full-bodied, with ideal low carbonation. Some dry bitterness lingering on the palate. Overall, a true dessert of a beer if there ever was one. Not a beer most of us would want to tackle on their own; you'd be best sharing this beer with someone after dinner. I'm definitely glad I finally got around to trying this beer, and it's a shame that it took me as long as it did. An excellent after dinner beer, one I would happily have again. Southern Tier Creme Brulee ---4/5.

Served in a snifter glass. Appearance: Black, with a thin tan head and thick ring at the edge. Plenty of delicate strands of lacing. Smell: Tons of vanilla and buttery toffee. Maybe the barest hint of orange with a really good swirl of the glass. A dessert in a glass. Taste: Bitter roasted malt, vanilla, buttery toffee, black coffee, hint of pine at the finish. Mouthfeel: Nicely thick, creamy. Good carbonation, but I think the mouthfeel would be even better if the carbonation was a tiny bit less. Overall / Drinkability: Very well done beer and definitely a dessert complimenting beer. When I had this with vanilla ice cream as recommended on the bottle, the bitterness really came out and complimented the ice cream. Sweet aroma with bitter roast compliment to the ice cream. Once I finished the ice cream and let my palate rest a bit, then all the sweetness in this beer came out. Even then, the sweetness was tempered by the roasted malt and hop bitterness. While I want another bottle to crack open right now, I know I should not have a second one of these in a sitting. That being said, a big glass of this beer with dessert is fantastic.

Pours black; khaki head that fades but leaves great retention and lacing. The aromas are extremely unique. It's basically a vanilla overload. It's smells exactly like cream soda. There are subtle alcohol notes in the aromas, but nothing overwhelming. There's some cocoa malts in the mix as well. The flavors are pretty intense. Alot of people say this beer is extremely sweet, but I never really looked at it like that. It's actually pretty bitter. The chocolate notes take a backseat and sometimes become completely unnoticeable. Alcohol notes are noticeable in the flavors. It's not boozy, but it's there. Mouthfeel is on the full-bodied; active carbonation. It's not milkshake thick, but it's far from thin. The flavors start off rough around the edges, but to be honest, it surprisingly becomes easier to drink and more enjoyable the more you drink. It really opens up as it warms up. Hate it or love it, you have to appreciate it. It's very unique and one of the most polarizing beers out there. I definitely like it more than I dislike it. It's good. Everyone should try this at least once.

Appearance:(4) Pours a thick, impenetrable black with a dark tan, 2.5 fingers tall head. The head has some decent retention and loves light lacing along the sides of the glass. Aroma: (3.5) Immediately upon pouring, your nostrils are assaulted by an overwhelming scent of intensely sweet vanilla and creamy, slightly tart smelling custard and not much else. As beer warms, the sweet facade starts to open up, allowing some sweet chocolate notes to surface. A very light alcohol presence cuts through the layers of vanilla as well. Taste: (3.5) Very similar to the nose, you're struck first by very sweet cream and vanilla. Building alongside the sweetness, is a faintly herbal twang of hops. Behind this hop presence, is a thick, creamy chocolate malt coating that resides on your palate up until the lightly bitter, off dry finish. Long lingering notes of creamy chocolate, bitter espresso bean and even more vanilla. The 9.5% ABV is hidden pretty well. Mouthfeel: (4) Thick and very creamy with moderate to high carbonation. Overall: (3.75) Wow, this beer is extraordinarily sweet and intense, just like the desert it is named after; It truly is uncanny how strikingly similar the aroma is to actual Creme Brulee. I was hoping that some of the stout elements would be a bit more forward in the aroma, but they definitely shine through in the finish of the beer. Overall, this beer is too intensely sweet for my tastes, but I can definitely see this beer as a fitting after dinner treat. Very unique.

A slight hop bitterness on the end. The alcohol taste comes in on the end. Heavy mouth-feel, and lowish carbonation. Great desert beer. Definitely not a session beer...too sweet, heavy, and high abv.

L – Very dark brown color with a 2-finger frothy tan head. Great retention and some nice sheets of lacing. Very viscous. S – Butterscotch. Tons and tons and tons of butterscotch. You can smell this from across the room. It's one-dimensional, sure, but it does smell great for what it's supposed to be. T – Very sweet all the way through with crème brûlée, lactose, and vanilla notes. There's no roasted character to be found here; this is all milk stout. Very sweet but very tasty, too. F – Medium-full-bodied, average carbonation, a smooth, creamy, and velvety mouthfeel, and a sweet and slightly dry finish. Sweetness lingers for a long time, and the nearly 10% ABV is nowhere to be found. O – I don't care what anyone says, this beer is delicious. It lives up to its name of being a big and bold imperial milk stout. If you're a fan of roasted characteristics in a stout over sweet characteristics, you might want to stay away from this one. If you have a sweet tooth, definitely check this one out. I think the thing that puts this one above other very sweet stouts (eg. Imperial Biscotti Break) is that the alcohol is nowhere to be found. This has nearly 10% ABV and is immensely sweet but is still very, very drinkable. I think Southern Tier has a winner here. Cheers!

Poured a beautiful black/brown with a really good head for a stout. Nose. Vanilla and more vanilla. So incredible. Taste is not as good as the first two. It comes across as rather artificial and chemical laden. A nice creaminess and sweet chocolate are the main features. I thought I would let this warm up and air out a bit. This was kind of a Jekyl and Hyde for me. I really got my hopes up but the taste is disappointing.

It has a fat cream head of mocha colored foam that fell slowly to a cap and ring and drippy lace. Refreshed with each turn of the glass. Nose reminds me at first of vanilla cake batter int he mixing bowl. Strong scent of vanilla. There is some sweet and creamy chocolate but not that much. Then there's a little coffee. As it warms the nose continues to change subtly. It smells like creme brulee, then like coffee liquer and finally like those maple sugar candies. really sweet. The vanilla is bitter and reminds one of booze but there's no actual alcohol on the nose. Taste is rich. Burnt sugar, caramel, molasses, and toffee. Just and endless malt. Strong, bitter vanilla, a touch of chocolate and light coffee, the burnt sugar and buttery cream. There is a touch of hop bitter at the back as well and it finishes pretty bitter. The maple sugar taste is heavy toward the end of the drink. There's some alcohol on the palate and it warms gently on the way down. This is definitely a desert beer. It's velvety and smooth but it has a hard edge to it from the strong vanilla and the alcohol. It's creamy and tastes a lot like cream. As it warmed the malt became nutty and toasted on the nose. I can't say I would buy this again. It was hard to finish the small pour I had but it seemed to grow on me. Tasted like a liquer and not really like a beer.

Lingers briefly, but dissipates after a minute or so. Beer itself is a dark mahogany brown, pretty much opaque. Smell- Very rich, would say it smells creamy, if such a thing is possible. Vanilla is by far the most prevalent scent, with a creamy buttery undercurrent. Very mindful of its namesake, a sweetness with just a hint of a kick. Taste- Again a very strong vanilla, maybe a hint of coffee. Bold with a tinge of tartness that is remarkably satisfying. Almost a roasted flavor that definitely brings to mind a creme brulee's crusted top. Alcohol taste is only vaguely present, especially for a 9.6 ABV. Nice buttery aftertaste. Mouthfeel- Starts smooth, followed by a little kick. Flows nicely over the tongue and manages to feel creamy without being thick. Very pleasing combination. Overall- Rather tasty. Have had this one a couple of times now and found that I like it best with a drink or two already under my belt. Probably wouldn't want to start the night off with it, definitely would call it a desert beer.

Tastes like a melted caramel candy. Candy corn, vanilla extract, sweet sweet malt, and alcohol. This beer does not hide the alcohol well at all. Definitely a dessert beer though. Mouthfeel is creamy and chewy. Not the thickest beer in the world but very nice. Overall this beer would be great with a slice of cake.

1970 Martin Johnson was born. "Johnno" would go on to lead England to the Rugby World Cup in 2003 following a playing career that took in every major honour. In 1995 and 2003 he helped England to Grand Slams and remains the only man to captain the British and Irish Lions on two occasions, in 1997 and 2001. At club level he was Leicester through and through, skippering the side to four Premiership titles and two Heineken Cups before hanging up his boots following the Tigers' loss to Lawrence Dallaglio's Wasps in the 2005 Premiership final at Twickenham. In 2008 he took up the reins with the England national side.
2008France saw off a determined Italy 25-13 in their Six Nations Championship clash at the Stade de France in Paris. Les Bleus needed a victory to avoid relinquishing the crown they have held for the past two years to unbeaten Wales and, despite not firing on all cylinders, they did what they had to. Anthony Floch, starting for the first time for his country, went over for their only try of the first half, with Yannick Jauzion and Aurelien Rougerie adding others after the break. Dimitri Yachvili was impressive on his return to the Test arena after a year in the wilderness, the Biarritz scrum-half kicking 10 points via two penalties and two conversions.
1895 A try and a penalty from Scotland forward George Neilson was enough to see off England 6-3 in front of a crowd of 20,000 at the Richmond Athletic Ground, sealing a clean sweep for the Scots in the Home Nations championship.
1968Ugly scenes marred Ireland's 9-6 win over Wales at Lansdowne Road, and it took a last-second try from Mick Doyle to prevent a complete riot. Ten minutes into the second half Gareth Edwards gave Wales the lead with a drop goal that everyone other than referee Mike Titcomb, including Edwards, thought had passed wide of the posts. Bottles and fruit rained down from the stands and there was almost five-minute delay while order was restored and a pitch invasion repelled. Doyle's injury-time score helped calm the situation but Titcomb still needed a police escort back to the dressing-rooms.
1929 Ireland and Wales drew 5-5 at Ravenhill in Belfast, handing the Five Nations Championship to Scotland. Fly-halves Frank Williams and Eugene Davy traded tries, but Scotland's 12-6 win over England the following weekend meant that they topped the pile with three wins, Ireland and Wales tied on in second with two wins and a draw. France finished dead last with 0 points.
2003 England swept past Italy 40-5 at Twickenham on their way to a Six Nations Grand Slam, with a brace from Josh Lewsey and tries from Dan Luger, James Simpson-Daniel, Steve Thompson and Mike Tindall completing the rout. Italy replied with a try from Mirco Bergamasco, playing at fullback.
1980Andy Irvine was named as Scotland's third captain of the season, replacing Mike Biggar. The move didn't work, Scotland going down 18-30 in the Calcutta Cup, although Irvine went on to lead the side 14 more times.
1982Against a background of worldwide boycotts of the apartheid regime, a 42-man South American side, led by Hugo Porta and containing 31 Argentines, landed in South Africa for a short tour.

Tuesday, October 1:
Shortly before 3:00 p.m., officers responded to a residence in the 2200 block of South Eighth Avenue regarding a burglary report. Two unknown suspects forced entry through a rear bedroom window, ransacked the location, and fled with property. Video surveillance showed the suspects leaving with bags in their hands and possibly a police scanner or radio for communication. Suspect-1 is described as a Black male, approximately 18-years-old, 5'7" tall, 150 lbs., thin build with black hair and brown eyes, wearing a blue jean jacket, white baseball cap, white shirt, and white pants.

Wednesday, October 2:
Around 4:11 p.m., an officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for an illegal modified exhaust in the area of Santa Anita Avenue and Foothill Boulevard.

At about 10:45 a.m., an officer responded to the Arcadia Police Department front counter regarding a fraud report. The victim explained he listed a rolling rack for moving equipment on Craigslist and received a check payment from a male subject; however, the check was issued for a larger amount than what was agreed upon. The subject directed the victim to cash the check, send a portion of the money to an unknown subject via a Moneygram, and keep the remaining balance for himself.

Matthew B. Weisberg, Attorney
Introduction: | Matthew Weisberg concentrates his practice on Consumer Fraud and Financial Injury based litigation, Mortgage Foreclosure, and Professional Negligence and Civil Rights. A peer acclaimed trial attorney, Matthew also represents individuals in Real Estate matters as well as in obtaining monetary compensation for victims of crime (financial and violent). A true "Lawyer's Lawyer", Matthew is proud to continuously receive referrals and praise from unaffiliated attorneys (even surprisingly from those who were once his opposing counsel) and community leaders. He also serves as an expert witness in complex legal malpractice and title insurance matters, including having been retained by a recent opponent's law firm. Prior to joining the Firm, Matthew practiced with Weber, Gallagher, Simpson, Stapleton, Fires & Newby, L.L.P. (focusing on general liability defense and commercial foreclosures), and McCabe, Weisberg & Conway, P.C. (representing large, primarily sub-prime lenders and investors in residential mortgage foreclosure and lender liability related litigation). Matthew also clerked for the Honorable Albert W. Sheppard, Jr., and was an extern for the Australian Federal Parliament. For the Parliament, he published "G-D Save the Queen," on behalf of The Hon. Brendan Nelson, M.P.
