The Athlete's Image: Are Tattoos Taboo for Franchise Players

Tags: Jason Reid Athletes and Tatoos Chris Birdman Anderson John Wall Tattoos Image of the Athlete BJ Schecter
Join the GCL crew this week for a spirited discussion about the look of today's athletes. It's not just about a strong jaw and a chiseled abdomen these days. Now players are getting scrutinized for their body art. From Miami's Birdman to SF's Colin Kaepernick, journalists and fans alike are begrudging players with too much ink. Are they a bad example for the youth of America or are grown ups overreacting?
Jason Reid, Washington Post Sports Columnist will join us to discuss his article about John Wall potentially hurting his marketability after recently getting some body after after having previously stating he wouldn't get a tattoo. The article has sparked a lot of conversation & the GCL Crew will find out more about the basis of Reid's theory.
We'll also speak with BJ Schecter, Executive Editor of SI.com about the state of journalism, SI's philosophy and how he and his crew ride the line between getting the story first and getting the facts straight. You won't want to miss it!

Music and Film Director R. Malcom Jones and Samantha. Born to traditional Jamaican parents, R. Malcolm Jones was not initially encouraged to pursue a career in filmmaking. Instead, he was told to focus on less artistic pursuits such as business and accounting. But, as a child, he spent many an afternoon creating his first music videos with the use of two VCRs and a boom box. Raised by a mother who juggled two jobs while keeping up with his schooling and extracurricular activities, he excelled in the arts, especially poetry, early on in school. Further showcasing his talent in the arts and entertainment world, he once even planned, promoted, and successfully executed a Tupac Shakur concert. At the tender age of 19 and still an unknown, successful endeavors such as this proved that he had what it took to make it in the entertainment industry. This was only the beginning of what Malcolm was destined to accomplish.
From there he has gone on to direct music videos. He has worked with artists such as Nas, Avril Lavigne, Pharrell Williams, T.I., The Game, R. Kelly, Fat Joe, Jermaine Dupri, Lil' Wayne, Diddy, Clipse, Rick Ross, Lil' Mama, Paul Wall, Pitbull, Trick Daddy, Birdman, Yummy Bingham, Slim Thug, Jadakiss, Eightball and MJG, and T-Pain. His most recent works include "Sexy Can I" by Ray J., "Shawty Get Loose" by Lil' Mama featuring Chris Brown and T-Pain, "My Drink N My 2 Step" by Cassidy featuring Swizz Beats, "Crying Out For Me" by Mario, "Hairbraider" by R. Kelly, and Lil' Mama's dramatic short film-like video, "L.I.F.E." But it doesn't stop there! Malcolm has been filming his first feature film "The Magic City."

Inspiration: Mario Testino
By GQ.CO.UK 06 September 11
Soon to be honoured with the inaugural Moët & Chandon Etoile Award, the world-famous photographer has spent three decades shooting some of the most beautiful people on the planet.
She says: "Mario does what he does because he really wants to understand people. That's why he's a portrait artist, a photographer of such importance, because he wants to understand who people are and why they tick." (Sandy Nairne, director of the National Portrait Gallery).
GQ.com's highlight: Testino's shot of Will and Kate was the wedding picture the whole world wanted. But personally we think there is much to be said for the incredible gallery of supermodel nudes in our September issue.

KKL-JNF preserves Jerusalem's most amazing trees
12/19/2012 23:26
Tree historian Yaacov Shkolnik invites 'The Jerusalem Post' to visit some of the capital's most amazing trees.
But those trees! Those trees!
Those Truffula Trees!
All my life I'd been searching
for trees such as these.
Dr. Seuss's beloved tale
The Lorax
follows "a little man who speaks for the trees" as he tries to prevent the demise of the Truffula trees. The trees are at risk to being lost to development and construction due to a greedy businessman who makes Thneads (A Thnead's A Fine-Something- That-All-People-Need).
Back in 1971, Dr. Seuss's whimsical rhymes served as a warning about the importance of preserving the trees in the face of progress.
Today, Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund has its own modern-day Lorax, tree historian and guide Yaacov Shkolnik. Shkolnik is part of the Ancient Trees Task Force, and one of the authors of 101 Special and Amazing Trees in Israel. He travels around the country researching the stories of famous or ancient trees.
Shkolnik has worked with Sohil Zidan, KKL-JNF's olive and fruit grove expert, and Dr. Yoram Goldring, the organization's chief ecologist, over the past eight years to map 200 of the country's most unique and interesting trees. Documenting a tree and including it in a database for special trees allows KKL-JNF to monitor the tree, ensuring its health and protecting it from development or destruction.
Just before the end of 2012, Shkolnik invited
The Jerusalem Post
to visit some of the capital's most amazing trees.
• Olive trees in the Garden of Gethsemane Israel's most famous trees are the ancient olive trees located in the Garden of Gethsemane, the valley at the foot of the Mount of Olives where Christians believe Jesus prayed before he was crucified.
Olive trees pose a puzzle for researchers because their gnarled and irregular trunks do not allow one to count growth rings, the most common way to measure a tree's age. In October, the National Research Council of Italy Trees and Timber Institute and academics from five Italian universities carbon-dated the olive trees. They found parts of them that dated back to 1092, 1166 and 1198, meaning some parts of the trees alive today are nearly a millennia old.
• Israel's tallest laurel tree The British War Cemetery on Mount Scopus is one of those tucked-away corners of Jerusalem where history almost gets forgotten. British soldiers who died in the Jerusalem area during World War I – 2,514 of them – are buried just next to the Hebrew University.
In front of the cemetery grows Israel's largest laurel tree, also known as a bay leaf tree. Shkolnik said the tree is approximately 100 years old, and could have been planted when the cemetery was built.
It stands more than 17 meters tall, and the trunk looks as if three trees fused together.
Shkolnik believes that irrigation in the cemetery allowed the tree to grow to an enormous height, considering that the average laurel tree in the Galilee is 3 to 4 meters tall. He has yet to find a taller laurel tree in Israel, crowning the Jerusalem version the tallest.
But the extra water is proving fatal to a nearby strawberry tree, an indigenous tree that grows in poor soil. A stately strawberry tree in the middle of the cemetery's irrigation area whose red branches reach out over the neat white graves is slowly dying, and Shkolnik suspects over-watering is the culprit.
• Cypress tree at the Monastery of the Cross The tree that Christians believe was used for the Jesus's crucifixion is no longer alive. According to tradition, Abraham gave Lot three trees – a cedar, a cypress, and an olive tree – that miraculously grew together into one tree.
The Monastery of the Cross marks the place where Orthodox Christians believe the tree stood. Inside the courtyard of the monastery are two tall cypress trees. One of the priests in the monastery told Shkolnik that a devout pilgrim brought the trees from Mount Athos in Greece.
Mount Athos is one of the holiest sites for Orthodox Greeks, the spiritual "Holy Mountain" which forbids women and children from entering. One of the cypresses in Jerusalem has grown so large that the flesh of its trunk grew into the steel railing leading up to the third floor of the monastery.

HOUSTON (AP) Francesca's said Wednesday that its second-quarter net income rose 15 percent as sales of jewelry, clothing and accessories increased.
But the retailer said that its quarterly sales were weaker than expected because of a tough year-ago comparison, declining traffic during the latter part of the quarter and the absence of a dominant fashion trend. Its quarterly performance fell short of Wall Street's view.
CEO Neill Davis cautioned that traffic will likely remain a challenge into the third quarter, and Francesca's cut its 2013 guidance. Its third-quarter outlook also came in below analysts' expectations.
Shares slid more than 20 percent in morning trading.
For the period ended Aug. 3, the company earned $14.6 million, or 33 cents per share. A year earlier it earned $12.7 million, or 28 cents per share.
Analysts polled by FactSet expected higher earnings of 35 cents per share.
Revenue climbed 17 percent to $89.6 million from $76.4 million, benefiting from new store openings and increased sales of jewelry, clothes and accessories. But Wall Street was looking for more, predicting revenue of $94.5 million.
Revenue at stores open at least a year dipped 1 percent. Francesca's said that the results include direct-to-consumer sales. This metric is a key indicator of a retailer's health because it excludes results from stores recently opened or closed.
Francesca's stock dropped $5.27, or 21.9 percent, to $18.75 in morning trading.
The company now expects full-year adjusted earnings of $1.10 to $1.16 per share with revenue in a range of $343 million to $349.5 million. Its previous forecast was for adjusted earnings of $1.27 to $1.30 per share on revenue between $365 million and $370 million.
Analysts predict full-year earnings of $1.29 per share on revenue of $368.7 million.
For the third quarter, Francesca's Holdings Corp. anticipates earnings of 19 cents to 21 cents per share on revenue of $78 million to $80 million. Wall Street is calling for earnings of 30 cents per share on revenue of $89.9 million.
The Houston-based company also said that its board approved a $100 million share buyback that will start immediately. The buyback has no expiration date.
Francesca's currently runs 440 stores in 44 states.

"Not a luxury hotel, but beautifully situated"
The Castle Tavern is located on the historic market place. I had a nice view of the castle keep from my window, and it was surprisingly quiet. The people were reasonably friendly and served a good breakfast. The accommodation, however, had some shortcomings. The room (No. 2) was tastelessly furnished, and the lighting was poor. The door squeaked badly […] and sometimes locked itself when pulled shut, but sometimes didn't. The bathroom for No. 2 (which admittedly had a lower rate than other rooms) was not en suite but located separately on a lower level. There was a danger of locking oneself out of the room when going to the bathroom at night without a key, and I was not warned of this. The shower was not great, and neither Kleenex nor lotion was provided. Rather basic, I would say. However, the Romantic location made up for the inconveniences. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"The Castle Tavern Richmond"
The Castle Tavern is a Yorkshire market town pub. Temper any expectations, for this basic offer. The service was on the below par, for hotels of this kind and well below for the average range. This said, it was inexpensive and the bed was comfortable.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Castle Review"
Parking was easy at around 7.45pm, kitchen closed at 8pm but chef was happy to stay a few minutes longer. Excellent beer but steak n ale pie was a bit stale. My room was in fact two rooms with double bed in both, access to the en suite was through the second bedroom. Unfortunately our accommodating chef left the very noisy kitchen extractor running […] all night. This was directly below my window and did not allow me the sleep I needed. Breakfast was poached egg as requested but was a little overdone. Staff were very friendly from the moment I arrived, I would consider returning but would request a room well away from the kitchen! 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
Fantastic location in market square overlooking castle. Comfortable room on the second floor but Oh! -those stairs. Even stairs to the our private bathroom which was separate from the bedroom. There is no car park but there was plenty of room in the square where parking is managed with a disc which is supplied by the inn. Friendly welcome, help given […] to carry up our luggage. No meals other than breakfast but there are plenty of eating places within walking distance. The nearby French restaurant is very good. The Castle serves a full English breakfast. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Pleasant stay"
We enjoyed our stay, we was in room 3 a large double bed room with bath and shower.This is not a place for people who want a modern,quiet place to stay. But if you are like us, who go to bed late, and like music, it is no problem, for there is music on friday & saturday night. The friendliness of the staff and people in the area was noticed by my wife. […] We had a breakfast on the first day which was good and large, but we had eggs on toast the next two days. It is a old building most likely built before the 17th century and has narrow stairs, no lifts. We would go again.Never had a evening meal there, Fish &chips at the local shop which was very good, next day at a Wedding, but the best was a meal sitting outside THE TURF HOTEL on Sunday dinner time, I ordered large Roast Lamb £7.89 a small Steak & Ale Pie with four types of veg & saute cheese potato's & gravy. The best meal I have had for a long,long time, every mouthful was a explosion of taste. that made our three day break. MR N Ingram 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

The pub area was very nice and the staff were really helpful. The room was very dark and dingy, unable to get hot water from shower in the morning.

BTOSports Racer X Podcast: Lake Elsinore

Check out THE MOTOCROSS OF 40 NATIONS
in our Latest issue of Racer X available now.The 2013 FIM Motocross of Nations at Teutschenthal, Germany, hosted teams from a record forty countries. Here's how it played out for each of them. Page 90.
The Conversation
Jt asked me if I thought BB pass on Cooper was a big deal. I said no that it was just racing and Cooper could handle himself. Then I told him we had noticed that PC haulers appeared to be on lockdown ie. everyone inside between motos and that I imagined that Mitch had fired the team up and we expected the PC team to race harder the second moto since they had a tough first moto. I never said that there was some PC conspiracy to take riders out nor did I imply that. I also never said whether or not Cooper may have started it with BB because at that point I had no way of knowing because we were all still at the podium and Cooper hadn't discussed it. What I told JT was that to me it appeared to be just racing. What JT Weege and Matthes didn't know and didn't report on the podcast was that later that night at dinner BB came over and congratulated Cooper and that between the two there appeared to be nothing but respect. But I'm probably not a good source and I probably wasn't at dinner anyway I'm not even "Gary Bailey's chick" I am just his wife and a lawyer too so I am certainly not smart enough to remember or carry on a conversation with a moto-journalist. I am probably confused and delusional.

Resettlers get a new township
Resettlers get a new township
Thousands of newcomers coming from the Wa region near the Chinese border this season are being relocated in a new township, reported two independent sources yesterday (14 December).
"We saw several trucks unloading the new settlers alongside the road from Mongpiang to Monghsat," said one. "Some were getting off at Nawngyon (Mongpiang township), where the Wa's Hongpang Company has recently won a contract to extract gold from the area."
Mongpiang is 96 miles north of Monghsat, where according to a Lahu correspondent, more than 15,000 households have arrived during the past two years. Two other townships where more than 7,000 Wa families have been resettled are Mongton and Tachilek.
Three of the townships: Mongton, Monghsat and Tachilek are located opposite Thailand's three northern provinces: Maehongson, Chiangmai and Chiangrai.
One Lahu source claimed roughly 80 ten-wheeled trucks were from Thailand, although no number plates were seen. He also came across some Chinese-made dongfeng six-wheelers.
Sources maintained that the season's new arrivals were from Wanlin and Kunma in Pangwai township. "About ten to twenty-thousand households are being expected to arrive before the monsoons," said the Lahu source whose home is in Monghsat.
The relocations were part of the United Nations Drug Control Program's plan to reduce the supply of opium from the Wa region in the north, reported Bangkok Post earlier. The UNDCP, however, has neither confirmed nor refuted the report. According to Myanmar Times, 19-25 November issue, the Program's representative in Rangoon, Jean-Luc Lemahieu, the Wa leadership did not understand "the importance of providing donors with evidence that the program was making progress ... without concrete data and statistics, it would be difficult to convince donor countries to continue their contributions," a situation resulting in a shortage of funds that forced the Program to reduce the number of staff by two-thirds as well as a lot of ambitious goals and activities.

At the core of this movement is the belief our kindergarten through high school students are not being prepared for their future, where the jobs these kids will face haven't been invented yet. Creativity, problem solving, and inventiveness are among the essential skills they'll need. Some criticize STEM for leaving Art out of this mix.

Local painter gets inspired, develops talents in retirement
By Melanie Tucker | (email@example.com)
There's no telling how many artists have been inspired by Bob Ross, the painter who gave us "happy little trees" during his program on PBS.
Sharon Schoenfeld is one of them. This native of Wisconsin and transplant from California moved to East Tennessee about seven years ago to retire. She said she was very familiar with Ross's work and told herself "I can do that."
Turns out, she could. Schoenfeld picked up the paint brush about three years ago with the intentions of seeing just how far her talents would take her. Her husband built her an art studio at their Sevierville home and she's not stopped having fun since.
Schoenfeld, just like Ross, works in oils. Her subjects are landscapes, animals and historic structures. She is just one of more than 60 talented artists and crafters who will be participating in the 37th annual New Midland Plaza Fall Arts and Crafts Fair that runs Friday through Saturday in Alcoa.
You might instantly recognize some of the subjects of her work. She's fond of painting places like Newfound Gap, Laurel Falls and other high points in the Great Smoky Mountains. She paints bears. She has traipsed the Blue Ridge Parkway and documented what she saw on canvas. The lion at the Knoxville Zoo is also a subject.
Despite only painting for a few years, Schoenfeld has already earned recognition locally. She entered five of her oil paintings in the Sevier County Fair and won five blue ribbons.
It has definitely been a learning process, this artist said.
"The first painting that I did is hidden away," she revealed. "It wasn't that bad. It was a Bob Ross-type painting. That is what got me started but I have moved on."
Schoenfeld has shown her work in Knoxville and at the annual arts and crafts show in Lenoir City. She is relatively new to the art show scene but said it's been a great learning tool. "It's nice to get feedback and encouragement," she said.
Revealed in time
Before retiring and moving to Sevierville, Schoenfeld was a flight attendant, and also worked for a travel company and phone company. She said at the time, she was just too busy to develop her desire to paint. Now she has time.
"The talent must have been there and hidden for so long and now it's coming out," Schoenfeld said. Retirement, she said, is a time to discover what you really want to do.
Right now, Schoenfeld sells only original oil paintings, but she is looking into finding a printer who can make quality prints. She works mostly from photographs and said she can take one of a family pet or old home place and turn it into something beautiful and meaningful.
Covered bridges, old barns, silos, trees with character, scenes created in her head — all have made their way onto the canvas. She said creating art has given her a keener eye and the need to always have a camera nearby.
"Since I have started painting I have become more aware of clouds and other things in nature," the artist said.
Schoenfeld and her husband love to travel, a necessity, she said, if she wants to expand her talent. So far it's been a great ride.

A lady seated three-quarter length on rocks in a wood. Her right elbow leans on skirts spread over rock, left arm down by her side; face turned half-profile to right. Dressed in simple high-waisted gown with narrow blue sash. Powdered hair tied with broad white bandeau, curled at front with long curls hanging down. Background of birches; mountainous landscape visible through trees to right. In a large carved and gilded frame. |

Portrait |
Notes | This portrait was sold at the sale of Mrs Cussans' effects by Christie's in 1835 when it was described as 'Hoppner – A portrait of a lady, seated, in a landscape' The catalogue entry is annotated in pencil '4.10-0', implying that it was purchased for £4 10 shillings, presumably by Holburne himself (AR134). The portrait is not listed either in the 1867 printed catalogue of the Holburne Collection, or the 1874 inventory of 10 Cavendish Crescent (AR153) and is not recorded in the collection until Chaffers' catalogue of 1887. This may be because it belonged to Holburne's sisters. In 1906, when the Holburne paintings were re-assessed and re-hung by Hugh Blaker and Horace Buttery, this was considered to be one of the best paintings in the collection by far. Buttery described it as 'A beautiful picture – not one as fine in the N[ational] G[allery]'. |

Even as renewable power projects get a boost from the federal government, thereís a tangle of complications preventing states like New Mexico and Arizona from converting the obvious potential into real watts that can charge smartphones and run air conditioners thousands of miles away. And few of those complications are as clear as the need for transmission lines in a region where the sun is plentiful, but the demand for its energy is not. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin, File)

DJ needed for party at fire-hit tower block
11:16am Tuesday 27th July 2010 in News
A DJ is being urgently sought to play at a party being thrown for families living in Shirley Towers, Southampton.
Staff from Sainsbury's and the Salvation Army have organised the fun day, due to take place on Sunday |afternoon.
But they are still seeking a DJ for the event, being held in the grounds of Wordsworth School between midday and 5pm.
Major Ruth Hill, who leads the Salvation Army centre that became a temporary home for residents of the flats when fire ripped through it on April 6, said the aim of the afternoon was to kickstart the holidays for the children.

The KBC is a blessing for the Keweenaw. It's a great place that brings people from all walks of life. At any point in the afternoon you can see the local carpenter, professor, doctor, basketball coach, Michigan Tech student, and even the gypsy on his/her way to Isle Royale.
I love the fact that they can their brews. They are great when you want to bring them on a canoeing trip, to the beach, or out on your boat.
Their beer is above average micro-brew. The line that they can, they have down to a pretty good science, and is consistent. The Red Jacket Amber has a great flavor profile, and very enjoyable. I'd say the Widowmaker Black is the best offering in a can. A nice light bodied black ale. Good flavor.
Please stop and support our local brewery, they have worked hard, and are great for the community.

Just checked out Keweenaw Brewing company for the first time. I'll preface my review by saying that I'm not their biggest fan but I appreciate what they do, in an area that's mostly devoid of craft beer.
Just a couple of blocks up the street from Red Jacket Brewing company, this place is easy to find. It's well marked from the street and parking wasn't a problem at 2:00 on a Saturday afternoon.
Upon entering, the first thing you notice about the place is the decor...all rough cut lumber with a north woods feel to it. There are two bars and I assume the back bar is their "tasting room". It was the bar that had customers sitting there and also the only bar that had a bartender so we ventured in.
We were greeted as soon as we sat down and the bartender (a cute, outgoing and knowledgeable Michigan Tech Student) had us served in no time. She was more than willing to talk beer and she knew her stuff, especially when it came to talking about Keweenaw Brewing Company beers. This was highly refreshing since so many places you go to are being tended by people who know how to pull a tap.
The quality of the Keweenaw beers can be a little suspect but their testing grounds are perfect for what they are trying to accomplish. I had the Urban IPA, which was described as a West Coast IPA, but it fell drastically short of that description for my tastes. Their Oatmeal Stout was another surprise. It's not the one that's listed on their list of beers, on their website, nor is it listed on BA but I want to say they called it Buzzsaw or something along those lines. I ordered it, expecting it to be a typical oatmeal stout, only to discover it was more of a dry Irish Stout and served on Nitro to boot. It was not described as a nitro stout so I was perplexed by the creamy head. Once I drank it, I figured out what it was and I was happy with it....it just should have been more accurately described. Not a big deal though.
They had a Belgian Dubbel that was pretty tasty. It also isn't listed on their list of what's on tap today and I don't see it on BA, either. The 36 Shilling Scottish Ale was a nice effort
Overall, I still haven't found any Keweenaw beers that have blown me away but the taps I had on Saturday were all pretty solid. I didn't bother trying any of their canned offerings because I've had them all in the past.
Overall, I'd have to say they are doing a pretty good job at Keweenaw. I'd like to see a little more emphasis on the beers but considering the area, they are not catering to beer geeks. The locals and college students are likely their bread and butter so they probably don't have any desire to push the limits.
IMO, if they keep doing what they are doing, we might find a couple of canned offerings that are worth seeking out for that day at the beach, the day out on the boat, or the weekend camping trip.

We visited this local brewery while on a trip to Isle Royale this past weekend. We were very impressed with the selection of beers and the atmosphere. We sat at the bar and talked with several of the locals who frequented the bar. We noticed that the bar had very few people from out of town, and the bar tender knew many of the people by name. Even though we were certainly the "out of towners" at the bar with out South Carolina accent, the locals and the bar tender made us feel right at home and shared a lot of useful information about both the brewery and the area. The bar didn't serve food, but it had a very down to earth and rustic feel. We tried the sampler of beers and enjoyed the beers so much we decided to stock up and bring some home with us. We particularly enjoyed the demolition ale. The prices of growlers ($10-12?) and pints ($2.5-3) were very inexpensive for the quality of beer. I would recommend visiting here if in the area!!

The inside has a rustic feel with an old wooden floor, brick walls, wooden tables/chairs, etc. Overall, a lot of the 'old mining town bar' vibe you'd expect given the area's history. Typical visitors are a mix of Michigan Tech students, locals, and when there's some big event going on, out-of-towners.
Most of the beers are pretty average, as far as craft brews are concerned. What this establishment sells is certainly better than drinking a macro, but nothing in their lineup is going to blow any beer geek out of the water. Given the price of a pint (just $2.50) and the small college town clientele, you pretty much just accept it for what it is. If it's your first visit, try a pint of the Red Jacket Amber first, as it's easily their most consistent effort. Also decent when in rotation are the R.A.M. Stout, Mogiana Malt, 36 Shilling, and Empress Hefeweizen.
The service is usually good. Even when it's packed, I've never waited more than five minutes to order a beer. Most of the staff are knowledgeable enough to make recommendations for first-time visitors.
They don't serve food (other than bags of roasted peanuts), but allow you to bring in virtually any takeout, and some places in downtown Houghton will even deliver to their door.
I'll be graduating from Tech in the spring and I will definitely miss this place. Their beers may not be the greatest, but the KBC has become a Houghton institution, and you really can't beat the prices.

Located in downtown Houghton, this is a local favorite. The inside has a rustic feel, coming from the mining days of old in the area. This heritage finds its way into the beer as well, with their primary ale being the "Pickaxe Blonde". The service is so-so, depending on what time of day you arrive. The staff seems to be fairly knowledgeable but not overly friendly and to get information can take some coaxing. The selection is pretty good, they usually have at least a half dozen beers on tap, the Blonde, a Brown, a Red, and a Pale are always available with others on rotation. The Brown is my favorite, closely followed by the Red. All the beers are pretty good and share a malt consistency. They don't really have any food available in house... unless you count peanuts. However there are many local restaurants and at least one pizza place that will deliver to the bar. Pints are only $2, which I consider to be a great value... most bars charge at least two bucks for a macro and this is a quality micro - you do the math. I'm a local student and will be graduating soon; this is one place I am going to miss.

A very cozy and rustic bar, with the whole brewing operation visible. Always bustling with college students and friendly locals. The RAM Stout is the beer to drink, but occasionally other good things pop up. Growlers are available (sometimes I can even ship some out).
It's also very affordable. Unfortunately the entire regular line isn't really drinkable. You have to hope you hit one of the decent rotating beers. Otherwise, I feel that this beers are poorly constructed with cheap ingredients and misrepresent craft beer.

A great little brewery up in the Keweenaw! Currently they only distribute Pick Axe Blond in cans, but they're supposed to start canning their other selections soon. As far as the taste room goes, it's very rustic looking, which definitely fits the area. Selection is pretty good, with them offering most of their regulars (They alternate R.A.M. Stout and Coal Porter) and some experimental stuff from time to time. Very cheap, as all pints are $2.
No food to speak of but the place is supposed to be a taste room, although its become more of a bar for the students and professors from Michigan Tech, but a lot of local restaurants do deliver to there. The staff is very friendly, and its rather easy to setup a tour of their modest facilities if you ask in advance. I frequently visited when I lived up there while attending Tech, since good, cheap beer was just a block away from from my apartment. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

This is a great and quickly growing brewery/bar. KBC brews 5 beers and a birch-beer (I think they brew that, no guarantee). The beers are; Pickaxe Blond Ale (available in six-packs at the bar and locally distributed), Red Jacket Amber Ale, Magnum Pale Ale (I loved this one!), HIlde's Brown Ale (another spectacular brew!), Tower Black Ale, and Coal Porter. Somewhat of a barebones establishment, I loved this palce for its simplicity though. They are expanding the bar area, should at least double, and they have plans to open a production facility and strat distributing more beer. YEAH!
The beer here was very good, and if I lived in the area I would be stopping regularly to keep my growlers full and ahave a pint or two. A must try!
Edit: 8/17/07 New bar addition is spectacular. Along with a fireplace and couches and a second bar is an outside deck. Th production facility is rockin' away. They're not brewing to capacity yet, but Tom (the brewer in South Range) brews one batch most days. Can's of the Amber and Blonde are now available south of the Bridge!

I haven't had time to blog too much this week. Next week, I will have a minor foot surgery. And, at the end of September, I will be moving across town, to a smaller place.
So, I have been trying to finish up a couple of projects at work, while packing at the same time.
I have also succeeded in finding people to buy some furniture, given away some items and plants to charity and worthy people. I am also selling some books to a lady who wants to open a used bookstore.
I also finished knitting and crocheting items for Warm Up America and Red Scarf Project. I will be mailing them tomorrow.
During my week of recovery, I am hoping to read some books and publish some book reviews.
Oh, I also went to the dentist (all is OK!) and had to redo Autumn Haiku blog due to some software glitch in Blogger!
I am barely reading these two books. I hope to have a chance to read a bit this weekend!
Have a wonderful weekend!

- For second batteries to go inside the vehicle see Dry Sealed AGM Batteries.
- For 4WD starting batteries see our Car Starting Batteries.
- For second batteries suitable for under the bonnet see the list below. All will cope with the heat and vibration and provide power for your Fridge, Lights etc.
Optima D27F 830CCA (66Ah): Now Free Delivery! Ideal for 4x4 installations, the Optima spiral cell design with the plates wound tightly around a central core gives exceptional vibration resistance. Extremely tough, with huge cranking amps for its size & will cycle as well. Fits nicely in the "standard" 12 inch N70ZZ footprint. Sealed so can be used internally or in the engine bay. See also the D31M Marine equivalent for positive terminals on the other side! | |
Century Deep Cycle N70T (100Ah). Century Australia's Deep Cycle Flooded range are constructed with thicker plates, specialist antimonial lead alloys and dense active material to withstand repeated recharge and discharge cycles. 100 Amp-hours in this popular case size with twin terminals. Great value and quality, built-in handle. Tough Century battery which lasts well. Access battery - so engine bay is OK but internal use is not. Pure Deep Cycle. |
Century Marine-Pro 720 (720CCA / 100Ah): If you want a combination battery giving 100 Amp-Hour capacity coupled with engine starting capability in a N70ZZ size case then consider this Marine Pro. A 2 Year warranty and dual terminals so you can connect your low current accessories via the wing nuts provided onto the screw terminals, and then connect your main starting or high power accessories onto the SAE posts. Access battery - so engine bay is OK but internal use is not. Good choice for 4x4 combination battery. |
E-NEX DC27MF (90Ah) Dual Purpose Battery. Deep Cycle Combination Battery from South Korea with twin terminals (screw and post) and provides combined Deep cycle and Starting capability. Maintenance Free and excellent value, it comes with a "Magic Eye" indicator and built in handle. This is a good buy if you want a Maintenance free Calcium battery. Good for engine bay. | |
Trojan 12 Volt Deep Cycle Batteries: Now Free Delivery! Trojan batteries are designed to be used as portable power for Leisure applications such as RV's and Marine use, but some will also fit under the bonnet in the larger 4WD's. USA based Trojan Batteries are a byword for reliability and long life. Access battery - engine bay is OK but internal use is not. | |
Lifeline AGM Deep Cycle Batteries: Now Free Delivery! Top of the range and probably the best all round AGM batteries in the world. Lifeline are made in the USA by Concorde and are original equipment on top-end RV's and Marine craft. They come with a 5-Year Warranty, are rated at 1,100 Cycles to 50% Depth of Discharge, 2% per month self-discharge and can accept 100% of their rated capacity on charge! The case material is fine for under bonnet use, unlike many AGM batteries. Sealed so can be used internally or in the engine bay. |
- The main consideration in 4x4 and Automotive is often what will fit under the bonnet in the engine bay and give the most capacity (Amp-Hours) to run the fridge, while also being capable of dealing with some engine starting or winch use.
- For internal use (inside the boot, under seats etc.) you need to use a fully sealed battery that will not give off gas while charging. Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) is the best choice here.
- We have listed our top choices for the "standard size" dual battery (i.e. to fit a 12inch N70ZZ size footprint). If you have less room to play with, or want to put the battery inside then just contact us for sizing and advice.
- The Marine Pro range and Century Flooded range also come in smaller case sizes, or if you want a sealed battery then there are also smaller variants in the Optima and Lifeline ranges.
- Note that batteries should never be put in a fully sealed box, there should always be some level of ventilation to allow for fault conditions or overcharging.
- Ultimately the available space, charging solution and value for money will determine the best choice and we would be happy to help if you are in doubt.
- We don't mind getting our hands dirty taking a look at and testing your set up if you can travel to us, or otherwise we can advise by phone or email if you just want to save money on the batteries or isolator system.
- We have Cables, Cutters, Crimping & Soldering equipment and a wide range of connectors, terminals, battery chargers, dual battery systems and Solar panels. We fit Dual Battery Systems in Melbourne or can organise fitting for you if needed.

I've noticed that young people (college student-age and thereabouts) are gravitating to the "hookah" type of flavored tobaccos...often in bars, that may or may not serve food but serve various ethnic beverages. I have zero statistics on this use, or its tax status, but it's one more way to get the kick of tobacco without smoking a cigarette..
jay bea summerfield
Vaping has also become very popular. Do a Google search and there are 1000s of vaping sites. Personal vaporizers are a type of e-cigarette. As with the hookah it is the kick of nicotine without smoking..

Credit to the good folks at KSK for finding this gem of egotism:
It's easy to discount the spiritual impact of basketball crowds ifyou haven't attended a playoff game with special fans before. There'sno way to understand it unless it definitely has happened to you. Thenyou know. As strange as this sounds, it's like a woman being unable to tell whether she's ever had an orgasm. If she thinks it might havehappened, or it felt like it kind of happened one time... it didn'thappen. When it happens, they know. Then they feel stupid for all theother times when they thought it had happened.
On a related note, the folks at Kissing Suzy Kolber consistently produce some hilariously funny stuff and should be a must read for sports humor fans. I particularly enjoyed their Brady Quinn and Lindy Slinger(Quinn's girlfriend) stuff. Anyway, after you've vistited YCS, go to KSK and enjoy their wittiness.

I always say that cigarettes and e liquid are the ultimate product in the world, without a match. No other products can put a big warning containing the negative effects of consuming the product itself and sell with a high price, yet many people still buy them regularly.
Even when you ask a smoker, he/she may not have a good reason to say why he/she starts smoking in the first place and continue the bad habit that are harmful not only for themselves but also to their surroundings as the second hand smokers. But like any other addiction, cigarette has proven to be difficult to live without for the smokers. Many of them had tried, but those without strong will had failed.
But then come a new way of smoking, e cigarettes. They give a new meaning of smoking, the healthier ones because although they are called cigarettes, they do not actually burn tobacco so the smokers do not inhale any smoke that contained tar, which is proven to lead to severe disease such as cancer, they are healthier for your surroundings, and they are inexpensive compared to the regular cigarette.
You can also attain more information on the e cigarette reviews and order them online.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 2:48 PM - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - Casey Kleisinger scored two goals as Air Force beat Sacred Heart, 5-2, in an Atlantic Hockey Association game Saturday, Jan. 19, at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Conn. Air Force improved to 8-9-5 overall and 6-5-3 in the AHA. Sacred Heart fell to 0-20-2 overall and 0-14-2 in the league. With the two points tonight, Air Force moved into a tie for sixth place in the conference.
Air Force scored two goals in the first six minutes of the game. Ryan Timar opened the scoring just 49 seconds into the game when he tipped in a pass from Scott Holm. The Falcons took a 2-0 lead at 5:46 of the first period. Timar's centering pass from the corner was tipped in by freshman Ben Carey for a 2-0 lead. Late in the first period, Sacred Heart scored two goals in the final four minutes to tie the game at 2-2. Kyle Verbeek scored with a wrister from the right circle at 15:50. With 17 seconds left in the first period, the first penalty of the game was called on Air Force's Dan Weissenhofer. On the ensuing faceoff, Brian Sheehan was wide open on the back door and scored with 10 seconds left in the period to tie the game.
The Falcons scored two goals in the second period to regain the two-goal advantage. Junior Casey Kleisinger gave the Falcons a 3-2 lead at 2:18 of the second period. Jason Fabian won a battle for the puck in the corner and centered it to his linemate in the slot. Kleisinger netted his fourth of the season as Ben Persian also assisted on the play. The Falcons took a 4-2 lead at the 17:56 mark on the rush. Chad Demers found Tony Thomas coming down the wing and Thomas scored his seventh of the season.
Midway through the third period, Kleisinger scored his second of the game and fifth of the season for a 5-2 lead at the 12:11 mark. Ben Persian forced a turnover and fed Kleisinger in the slot.
Air Force outshot Sacred Heart, 44-26, in the game. The 44 shots are the second most of the season and mark the second straight game the Falcons have had 40 or more shots. AFA was 0-for-3 on the power play while SHU was 1-for-2. Jason Torf made 24 saves for the Falcons while Steven Legatto made 39 for the Pioneers. "I was proud of our guys tonight," head coach Frank Serratore said. "We played a terrific game tonight. Our five-man offense was good and their goaltender, Legatto, was sensational. We were strong in all three zones tonight and we are playing right now the way we need to play."
Air Force and Sacred Heart conclude the two-game AHA series on Sunday, Jan. 20, at 12:05 p.m. ET at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Conn. --30--

The Unites States government has helped many foreign governments kill their own citizens. Have we stopped this practice?
It is common knowledge that the United States helped Saddam Hussein come to power and stay in power by supplying him money and weapons. What would have happened if we had not done that? Would Saddam have been able to kill and torture so many people?
The same thing has happened many times through the years. For example, the United States government supported Marcos in The Philippines.
Have we learned from our mistakes? Have we stopped supporting foreign governments that kill their own people? What countries in Asia and the Near East do we support in killing their citizens?
Country | Killings | Foreign Aid | US Troops |
Afghanistan | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Bangladesh | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Burma | Yes | Yes | Yes |

Pakistan | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Philippines | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Sri Lanka | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Thailand | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Vietnam | No | Yes | Yes |
Yemen | Yes | Yes | Yes |
According to the US government, we are currently supporting regimes that kill citizens in Bangladesh, Burma, Cambodia, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Israel, Nepal, Pakistan, The Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Yemen. Since Afghanistan did not have a real government in place, I find it difficult to assign blame to the current government there.
The United States government does not need to directly or indirectly finance the killing of citizens in these 14 countries. The Unites States military should not legitimize or help these governments to oppress their populations. We should not provide foreign aid from the US government to these nations. We should not deploy troops to these nations.
Why does the US government spend money on foreign aid and foreign troop deployments at all? Why not lower taxes, balance the federal budget, and let private organizations provide aid to foreign governments?
I have linked to all sources. All information comes from the United States Government. The list of countries receiving foreign aid comes from The US Agency for International Development. The information about what countries kill their own citizens comes from The US Department of State. The information about troop deployments comes from The US Department of Defense.
Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Recently, the Israeli government killed Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the leader of Hamas. Hamas and Yassin routinely use violence to try to reach their desire of destroying Israel. The Israeli government thinks that killing this one man will make Israeli citizens safer. [ read more ]
What other countries in Africa should we invade? [ read more ]
People everywhere want to be safe. We all want to feel secure in our daily lives. In the US, we want to protect ourselves from both terrorism and foreign dictators. To reach this goal, we have invaded two countries in two years. [ read more ]
