So...my DS8 was diagnosed with ADHD in Jan. The Dr. Went over pros and cons of medication and we decided not to. Now I am second guessing myself. On one hand, I think ADHD can be lived with and is just often overdiagnosed. My DS is very bright and I feel like it is just part of his quirky personality. But as a teacher I know how hard it is for the student and teacher when medication is not used. What should I do?
I was diagnosed ADHD at 8yrs old my mom decided to put me on ridilin (sp?)...that lasted a whole 2 weeks. She said it made me mean. She ended up taking me to this place that helped me learn to focus my energy else where but still maintain concentration. It is a form of biofeedback and it worked for me....I didnt read the whole article but that looked like what did.
Ds11 just started Focalin a few weeks ago and his teacher already has told me its making a difference. :DStay away from my chocolate and nobody gets hurt!
I think I like who I am becoming... -
My DS8 is also ADHD. I am really against putting chemicals into my kids, and will not do it simply because it makes things easier for other people.That being said, I did feel meds were necessary because not only is he continually disruptive in class, but he can't control himself. He just can't. It upsets him, and that was the deciding factor. We talked about it at length and tried Vyvanse to start with. It worked, but the side effects outnumbered the benefits. He finished out the school year without meds and it was so damn hard. :(I've been looking into natural alternatives, but the one we've tried did absolutely nothing.
I think it depends on the severity & how much it is affecting the child. My ds13 has inattentive ADD. We started seeing problems early on but fought through it until he hit 6th grade. Then it just became to difficult. He was stressed out & really struggling with school demands. It got to the point, it was taking him 5 hrs a night to get his homework done & he was just exhausted. His grades were slipping. He just wasn't happy. We started him on medicine & his grades immediately went from C's to A/B Honor Roll. Homework was done in an hour or less. He enjoyed doing stuff again & felt better about himself. So, for us, medicine was the answer. Behavior modification only went so far.
You need to do what you feel is right for your son. Involve his teacher too. Find out how s/he feels about how disruptive DS is in class, and how his ADHD is effecting his schoolwork. Talk to your son too. Does he feel like he can work on his concentration enough without medication to make it trough the school day, or is he having such a hard time doing this that he thinks he may need medication? Pills are not a cure, nor do they work any magic, they are a tool that HELP; and sometimes it takes a while to find which one and what dose is going to work best for him. Let the doctor do this...there's nothing docs hate more than someone telling them how to do their job...that said, if you do decide on medication, good feedback is a doc's best friend. The doc can't make necessary and correct adjustments if they don't know what's going on or that there is a problem with it in the first place. I wish you luck! Something tells me (read: literally bouncing not-a-baby-anymore-boy) I'm going to be in your shoes in a few years.
Thank you all for your input. We have not even told DS he has adhd, we don't want him to feel "labeled". I think I will try meds this summer. Soon so I can notice any bad side effects since I am home with the kids. He is going to the neighborhood school this year, and I quit my teaching job so hopefully I can be more on top of things.
@littlebitz really it comes down to how much is his ADHD affecting his education.Push for an IEP or 504 plan so he can have the protections (regardless of meds or not) and accommodations can be made.B
DS10 was diagnosed with ADHD (combined) when he was 7. DD12 was diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive) when she was 10. For a while I tried behavioral techniques instead of meds, but eventually chose to put both of them on meds. For me it came down to their happiness and what makes life better for them.
Although doing very well academically in school, DS was unhappy because he had no friends. He was "that kid" rolling around on the floor while the teacher was trying to teach and dancing in the outfield during baseball games. He would do things that he knew were wrong because he couldn't control himself and he would hate himself for it. He'd get frustrated with himself. He'd also get frustrated because even though he has many creative ideas, he was unable to sit still long enough to write or carry them out. He still has his quirks, but the meds help him to stop and make better decisions.
DD wasn't doing very well in school because she couldn't focus enough to read more than a sentence or 2 at a time. When I'd ask her to read she'd throw toddler-like tantrums. Same thing when she was asked to do her chores. She also couldn't focus enough to even finish her own sentences most of the time. With meds, she has become an excellent reader, her grades are all As, she's earning commended scores on state exams, and chores no longer induce 2 hour long tantrums.
With meds, both of my kids are much, much happier.
If I'm not supposed to do it, how come I can? -
I was diagnosed with adult ADD (inattentive form) back in 2002. Shrink put me on Adderall and has worked like a charm from the beginning. DW noticed a big difference once my body got used to it. I'm 48 and wished I had been diagnosed when I was a kid. I recognized the symptoms way back when.
Some folks are able to manage their symptoms w/o meds, which is great. It can be trial and error getting the correct dosage down, but medication works well for a lot of people.
As long as you trust your doctor and keep him or her abreast of any side affects, use medication if you'd like!
@etheriel, your description of what you DS is going through describes me at that age just about to a tee. Even with Adderall, I still can be distracted by a lot of different things when I should be focusing on the task at hand. I don't recall every dancing in the outfield, though, but I do remember playing right field in gym class because not many fly balls came out that way!
My friend's 2 children are both diagnosed with ADD (one inattentive, one hyperactive) and she resisted meds for a long time. Then when they were in high school and middle school, respectively, she decided to give it a shot and she said that the difference was AMAZING and she wished she'd done it earlier.
I am on the fence. DS14 has always had accommodating teachers but he still struggles so much and I am one of those who should have been diagnosed way back but when I was a kid they didn't know as much about it all and just yelled at me for daydreaming, not listening, being disorganized, etc.
My DS14 has asked about possible meds so we might just give it a shot. I know it is very hard for him, he feels incompetent though he is super smart... :(

I tried to get a 504 plan and was denied-at the same freaking school I was a teacher at! The special ed. Director didn't feel he needs one. So I quit that job, and he is going to go to our neighborhood school. I hope with meds/counselling in place it will be a frsh start for the upcoming school year.
@Charlotte_Sometimes, I had the same type of experience growing up. The only kids who got any kind of intervention were those who were severely ADHD. Those kids were simply labeled as "hyperactive." Ritalin would have have done wonders for me. I would not have struggled so hard in HS and college. Grades I'm sure would have been so much better.
I too have struggled with this problem. I chose not to medicate, and sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision. It does work for many kids but I am afraid of the side effects and what it will do to his body. His second grade teacher had two kids on meds and basically seemed to look down on us because my son was not on meds.
I feel like whatever I decide to do there are negative consequences. So I just try to do behavior modification. If it gets to the point where he simply cant function anymore, then I will seriously consider putting him on meds.
It is so hard to know what is best for YOUR child, they are all different and have varying degrees of ADHD. HUGS to you!
Thank you all for the advice and sharing your experiences.
As an adult who didn't believe in meds and finally had to do it or go crazy - being on meds changed my life. Like @episcopal I'm on Adderall and from day 1 my life became manageable. Not only that, I cut out caffeine except my morning coffee. I'd been self medicating with massive caffeine doses.
3 months ago I'd say NO to meds. Now that I realize the difference in how the world seems to me, I say put aside your prejudice and try to figure out a quality of life that works for your SON. That may or may not be meds, but at least open your mind.
I also skip my meds a couple of days a week to lessen the rebound, and help to lessen addiction risk. Those days OT seems to still be somewhat in my system - but 3 days off and I'm crazy, scattered and the world moves so fast I can't catch a thought. I also start screwing up things, forgetting things, lose things, and generally my life begins to spiral into a hot mess again. -
My son @ 10 was diagnosed with ADHD. His doctor stated she wouldn't prescribe anything but intuniv and try things like some coffee or mountain dew in the morning and lunch. Withing a month we saw SOME improvement but he still seemed foggy. He would be trying so hard to read or understand homework but he just had this "stoned" look to him. He was having bathroom issues and would just want to sleep or be in a blanket all over the damn house.
I was worried he was getting depressed, so we went back to dr. She ran some labs.... He was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Since beginning treatment for that, OMG I have my baby back!! We decided to take him off intuniv to see how treatment for just his hypothyroidism worked for him. Thats all he needed. I still get calls about him getting off task, but not enough to get meds for. He is making pretty good grades and stays out of trouble.
If I were to have had to chose though, I wouldnt put him on ridilin or aterol. My dr stated they are similar to cocaine, and that i would have to take my child to a therapist to get those meds. I have little cousins that are on those meds, and I just dont like how those meds make them act. But some people as you can see above react well to that kind of treatment. So I guess you will just have to experience it yourself.
My son has ADHD (inattentive) and couldn't follow multi-step directions to save his life. On top of it, his brain would fixate on one upsetting thing and cause him major anxiety. I was worried about meds, but as a high school teacher, I've seen what happens when kids aren't medicated, although they have a diagnosis. It's not fun for anyone--especially the kids and their parents. I finally went with meds for my son because, as the doc put it, you can try to help them focus all you want, but if they have never FELT what it means to focus, how can they learn to do it? We started on Adderall, which worked great for a year, but the rebound really messed with his anxiety and we even had to hospitalize him for it a couple of times. He went "cold turkey" for about 6 weeks, but after his being able to focus for a year, we realized how much better he did everywhere with the meds. The doc put him on Tenex (same as Intuniv) and it has been great. The only time the anxiety comes back is when he needs his dosage raised. He has an appetite and no rebound effect. The trick with the meds--if you choose that route--is to keep trying. There are so many different ones out there that if one has nasty side effects, then you can try another. Is my son perfectly focuse? No. Does he get all A's? Nope, but he's happier because he calm himself and his brain isn't racing a mile a second. And that is worth it.
ah yes the old to medicate or not to medicate. i am 23 years old and i am still ADD (someone tried to tell me you grow out of it, this is FALSE information people! Its not something to can grow out of, ADD/ADHD is a MEDICAL DISORDER/ LEARNING DISORDER, not a behavioural issue) when i was 13 i was taken off the medication (Dexamphetamine) by my father who is also ADD (ADD and ADHD now comes under the same umberella it depends on what you want to call it) because he stated that he had delt with it for all of his life therefore i could deal with it with medication. BAD IDEA! you have 2 types of ADD and ADHD. the first type is those who can use meditation and and Herbal therapies and it works, the other type is the ones who need to medication to function. from 14 onwards i tried the herbal and the meditation and it didnt work for me. i am a medication type of ADD/ADHD. i think if your not sure try the others first and do a SUPERVISED trial on a LOW DOSAGE and record the difference. you have nothing to loose and alot to gain. i am back onto my meds now after going through lots to FINALLY get someone to put me back on them. im excited as it means i can do my nursing course and get a career which beforehand i struggled to do
@livinthedream, ds13 is on Vyvanse now, which can be very addictive also. He does drug free weekends & track outs unless he has something going on where he needs to be able to focus. I like it because it allows his body a chance to get a break from processing the meds & helps him from getting used to that level so we don't have to increase it.
My son, who is now 20, has ADHD. First, let me say that I think it is way over diagnosed and is often just a matter of bratty kids and/or teachers expecting way to much patience and concentration from young kids, especially little boys. My son had obvious problems focusing and literally could NOT sit still for even a few minutes. He constantly tapped his fingers, stomped his feet or fidgeted. I absolutely agreed that he had ADHD, but decided not to medicate. My reasoning was that this was not going to go away, this is who he is and I did not want him to be on medication for his entire life. And, these medicines can have some serious side-effects, especially in the long-term.
Instead, I've tried to help him learn to live with it. When he was small we did things like "practice patience", where we would tell him yes to a treat or a fun activity but force him to wait calmly for it, starting with just a few minutes and moving up to things that were days away. We did lots of focusing activities. Some of these, like sorting colored blocks into patterns, are easy for most kids but like torture for an ADHD kid. We just always started small with short time periods and worked up. We had to help him learn to be really aware of how he was thinking and behaving so he could learn to control himself. We would give him tasks with several steps and multiple instructions. At first we would remind him, "you just did this now you should do that" and then worked up to having him tell us what he should be doing/thinking about. We did these things every day, always starting small and working up.
I think we had a fair amount of success, as an adult he is still hyper but he knows it and can calm himself if he needs to. He does well in his job and is just a fun,( if a little scatter-brained) quirky person.
We like to say that he marches to the beat of his own band, not just his own drummer.
I know this is long, but I hope it helps.
I didn't read all te comments before but increase his omega 3 intake, I have ADHD and it works like magic. I swallow a capsule in the morning and am good all day! Natural and effective, my homeopathic dr friend recommended it!
Also try to increase his intake of phosphatidylserine, it can be found in most meats but is highest in cow brain.... Gross I know but it really tastes like ground beef... I ate tacos made out of it and didn't even know til someone told me what I was eating. The recommended dose for a child with add is double that of a person without so 260 mg daily. Besides cow brain you can find high amounts of it in mackerel, herring, chicken LEGS and white beans but soy is the second best!
Our bodies need this phospholipid to build brain cell membranes that are fluid enough to release the neurotransmitters acetylcholine and dopamine, but luckily, our brains normally manufacture enough phosphatidylserine (PS) to keep us in top mental order. However, in children with ADHD the brain does not manufatur enough causing forgetfulness and short attention spans.
Hope this helps a little :)
Ok, I was leaning toward medication, discussed it with my husband and he is strongly against it. Then after hearing some of your ladies experiences and thinking about my son ' am not going to. I want to add a little history of my DS8: for kinder he went to an awesome private school w/12 kids in the class, teacher that we was borderline gifted, and he was reading 2 ndgrade level by the end of kinder (some kids were reading chapter books!). Then for 1st grade he transferred to the school I work at. He I very distracted in class, some of the kids didn't even know the alphabet so the teacher was of course focused on those kids. DS class is boring, he already know how to read, blah blah. So I request he be tested for gifted and he scores at 95% , kids are gifted at 97% in our school. He is supposed to be given harder work but teacher doesn't because "he plays too much, so he probably can't do it anyway" Sooo for 2nd and 3rd it is the same story but now homework struggles and low grades set in. But he knows how to do it, if I set him down to do it he whips it out. I am just going to declare it a case of a bright kid bored with school and will supplement his learning at home. Homeschool is aslo an option as I will be staying at home for a while. Also because he has tics now and epilepsy runs in DH family, Dr. Says both stimulant and non~stimulant meds will aggravate both those conditions. So meds free it is!!!
Hard decision. My DS15 and I are both inattentive ADD. I have never taken meds, I tried Ritalin as an adult and it just make me mean. My son was having real concentration issues in school, could not sit still, could not let anyone else talk. We tried him on the lowest possible dose of Concerta and it was like a miracle. It didn't change him, per se, just took the edge off so he could concentrate.I consume caffeine when I need to calm down, during the summer my son does the same. The benefit to Concerta is it slow-releases all day and caffeine doesn't do that.Good luck on your decision, there's no right or wrong, just what works for your family!
@littlebitz - you kind of left off an important detail with his epilepsy. As aother of a child with intractable epilepsy THAT ONE THING changes it. If he has seizures already, don't lower his threshold by messing with his brain chemistry.
He doesn't have epilepsy, it Runs in DH's family. His aunt and 2 cousins have it, so dr. Said not a good idea to use those meds.

Investigators are looking for two suspects in a home invasion robbery Sunday that resulted in the shooting of two men, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.
"There was evidence found at the scene that will help identify the suspects, but at this time, it's still under investigation," Capt. Glenwood McLaurin said Monday.
It was just before 8:40 p.m. when two men knocked on the door of a mobile home on the 400 block of Starlit Drive, McLaurin said. The intruders knocked on the door and, when one of the three residents answered, they forced their way inside.
The intruders shot two of the three men living in the residence, McLaurin said. They were identified as Sanon Herve, 48, who was shot in the right leg, and Sainrilus Bracken, 30, who was shot in the left side.
The third man, who was not identified, was in another part of the residence and said he had no idea that anything was going on, McLaurin said.
Herve and Bracken were take to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, McLaurin said. Herve was treated and released, while Bracken was hospitalized overnight, then released Monday morning.

What Love Sees
This made-for-TV drama covers fifteen years, from WW2 to the mid-1950s, in the lives of farm couple Gordon and Jean Holly (Richard Thomas, Annabeth Gish). A daughter of privilege, Jean had married Gordon much against her parents' wishes, whereupon the couple took charge of a ranch in California, where they raised their children. Throughout their marriage, the Hollys not only faced the disdain of their loved ones, but also the prejudices and misunderstandings of their neighbor. And why? Because both Gordon and Jean Holly were totally blind, and thus regarded by the standards of their era to be "unworthy" of parenthood and self-reliance. Based on the novel by Susan Vreeland, What Loves Sees first aired September 22, 1996, on CBS. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Reptile Boy
As if it weren't enough that frat guys drink too much, this episode of Buffy proves that they also worship the demon Machida. It begins when Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Angel (David Boreanaz) have an argument about where their relationship is going. Meanwhile, Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) gets invited to a frat party at the local college. Hoping to blow off some steam, Buffy decides to go along. Apparently, the frat guys have to sacrifice three teenage girls once a year to their demon lord. (The third girl is a student gone missing from another school earlier in the episode.) After being drugged and chained to a pool table in a musty, fake-wood-paneled basement -- in actuality, a dungeon -- all the girls can do is wait to be rescued. Luckily, Xander (Nicholas Brendon) is jealous over Cordelia's attraction to the frat guy and sneaks after them to keep an eye out. After the girls get loose and revoke Machida's fraternity charter, Buffy and Angel decide to give their love another try and go for coffee. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi

McBride: The Doctor Is out... Really Out
This Hallmark Channel TV movie is one of a series starring John Larroquette as McBride (no first name), a hard-nosed cop turned compassionate defense lawyer, specializing in "lost causes." This time, McBride's client is Leo Eckert (David Bowe), who is convinced that he accidentally shot and killed his therapist George Prescott (Richard Fancy) after Prescott double-crossed him during Eckert's courtroom efforts to gain custody of his child. Rushing to the "murder scene", McBride finds that Prescott's body has disappeared--and in fact keeps on disappearing no matter where it turns up. Confronted with a plethora of suspects who like Eckert had more than enough reason to want the therapist dead, McBride comes to the conclusion that Eckert may have shot Prescott when the victim was already dead--then fine-tunes his conclusion a bit when it begins to look like Prescott may still be alive! Gigi Rice, who'd costarred with John Larroquette on the latter's eponymous sitcom of the early 1990s, make a significant guest appearance. McBride: The Doctor Is Out...Really Out first aired on June 12, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I'd love to see a devourer that's semi petite but walks slowly because of some big hoo hoos, high heels, and some shopping bags. And for her hook she throws big words at you like "commitment" that wraps around and grabs you. And then she says "you're mine" when she throws it. For her rot lots if heart come out and she says "I'm not smothering you, am I?" When she ults she gets big red and mad and says "who's sheela?" or "what is this text?" or "don't you love me?" or "you took her where?" An alternative is she says all these phrases at once when she ults because that's how it happens in real life.
Something like this?

Undergraduate Preparation |
Attaining a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree requires dedication and hard work, but rewards are returned for a lifetime. In general, students must complete 3-4 years of pre-veterinary undergraduate coursework followed by 4 years of a professional program in a college of veterinary medicine. Students may choose any accredited college/university to complete their pre-veterinary coursework, however, choosing a major related to the student's interest in science and animals is wise. A list of required prerequisite courses can be found here. Applying to veterinary school is competitive, therefore students should consider a bachelor's degree that will serve as an alternative career choice. Common degrees include biology, zoology, chemistry, animal science and biochemistry. Advisers in the various colleges will provide direction for enrolling in appropriate courses to meet the pre-veterinary course requirements and for completing a bachelor's degree. Download the DVM Program Admissions booklet here. To view applicant pool statistics, click here. |

BOZEMAN - As Montana State's important showdown looms at Hornet Stadium Saturday, it's hard not to wonder how Sacramento State would be viewed nationally if it called the eastern time zone home.
The Hornets enter Saturday's game with a 6-3 record, better than four nationally-ranked teams and the same as three others. Sac State owns a win over Colorado of the Big 12 and 16th-ranked (this week) Cal Poly, and a near-miss over then-no. one Eastern Washington. One of the Hornets' losses is is to FBS entry New Mexico State.
Regardless of rankings, however, Montana State coach Rob Ash knows his third-ranked Bobcats will have plenty on their plate Saturday. "Sacramento State is a very good football team, and a difficult team to prepare for," said MSU's sixth-year head coach. "Coach (Marshall) Sperbeck has put together an offense that is very efficient in moving the ball and keeping it away from the other team, and a defense that brings pressure from a lot of different places."
The last time they met in Sacramento (two years ago), MSU escaped with a 64-61 double-overtime win when the Hornets missed a field goal on the game's final play.
The Hornets are led offensively by sophomore quarterback Garrett Safron, whose passing accuracy and mobility has him fifth in the league in total offense at 256.7 yards per game. Safron has a strong ground game, with Ezekiel Graham gaining 77 yards a game, and an array of weapons on the perimeter led by receiver Morris Norrise, who catches five-and-a-half passes a game for nearly 67 yards a game.
Ash says his team's formula for slowing down Sac State's potent offense remains the same as last week, when the team held North Dakota's high-flying attack to 180 yards and nine first downs. "It's really a team effort on defense. Up front, the player that gets single coverage in pass situations has been able to win that one-on-one and make a play, and our linebackers have been a big part of that. But a lot of that is due to good coverage on the back end. It all ties in together."
Montana State's offense also bring firepower into Saturday's matchup, which kicks off at 5:15 pm MT on ROOT Sports across Montana. Led by quarterback DeNarius McGhee and a balanced ground game, the Bobcats lead the Big Sky in scoring offense, and stand second in total offense. McGhee throws for over 270 yards a game, but his main characteristic as Montana State's third-year quarterback is to lead his team into the winner's circle. McGhee owns 26 wins as Montana State's starting quarterback, tied with Paul Dennehy for the most in MSU history.

Reviews by Mistofminn:MistofminnMinnesota 4.5/5 rDev +4.4% look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5 Planned a trip to Hudson to specifically get this. I was saddened to find that Chicone's was out, but ecstatic to see that Casanova's had singles of this. For around the same price as GI BCS per bottle, I am expecting something great. 2009 bottle. Pours a ruby hued brown color with a light carbonation. Uneventful head that was gone in a second, which I have come to find the norm in bourbon barrel aged beers. Subtle bourbon hints mix well with caramel, toffee, dark fruits and a nice bitterness. Without the added bourbon, this would still be a great nose for a barleywine, but the bourbon takes this to a whole new level of goodness. Taste is spot on the aroma. Thick bourbon and caramel malt base dominates this one, but subtle dark and citrusy fruits and grapefruit and piney hops blend to make this a very impressive beer. Nothing is overpowering and all the flavors play with each other to add to the complexity. Smooth and creamy, with a light carbonation bite. Great drinkability as well. I wish this were more widely available. Central waters only recently made it to Hudson, and at this point I think I'd be missing out if they hadn't. Highly recommended.

So nice and smooth, this is one of the better barleywines I have enjoyed lately. Pours a reddish brown with a small head. Big notes of bourbon and mash! I soo wish that CW was distributed in my area! Overall....awesome!!

Head retention was good for such a high gravity beer, a thin coat of lacing was left on the side of the glass as it was being consumed. Alcohol legs can be shown when swirled. The beer is a dark mahogany brown color, very murky with not much light coming through. S: Big nose composed of prunes, raisins, plums and other dark stone fruits. A woody character melds with the complex malt profile so well it seems very organic. Fairly moderate dank and dark piny hop aroma. T: Very complicated malt profile similar to the aroma. Prunes, plums, raisins, tobacco and pomegranate. The balance is on the malt side with a moderate sweetness, almost a syrup like flavor, but there is a medium bitterness at the beginning with an earthy, pine flavor. Last but not least the oak, vanilla, slightly coconut flavored barrel flavor develops throughout and melds very well and naturally. Very tasty. M: Big warming sensation from the alcohol on this one, definitely a sipper. Big body with moderate to medium carbonation. The woody/oaky tannins are left on the pallet giving a slight drying sensation. O: A big malty barley wine with an organically natural tasting barrel flavor thats great for sipping on a cold winter night. Cheers CW, keep up the good work.

Then some more bourbon. And why not, grab a third helping of bourbon. I swear there is a pretty dam good barley wine somewhere in this beer. It poured flat and thick with a bursting aroma of a bourbon soaked whiskey barrel. its ruby red and carmel like. It looks like bourbon juice. the flavor is ripe with dark fruit, vanilla, wood spice, bourbon, cream, and a little oxidative sherry flavor. No hop flavor but some stringent hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is by far the best part of this beer. Its got a wood coarseness that drys the beer out nicely and accentuates the hop bitterness. bottom line, if you like strong beers that overwhelm you with oaky bourbon flavors, buy more than one of this guy.

Poured into a tulip glass. Thanks for the trade, CVM4. A: Tawney amber. A tan fourth-finger head that dissipates fast. No lacing to speak of. S: Heavenly malts rush in with bourbon, oak, leather and caramel. Wow! T: A superb malt/bourbon concoction. Sweet, sinful. Brown sugar and molassas combines with a great malt backdrop (drinks like an English barleywine). The 11.2% comes on strong and literally knocks you on your ass. Sit and sip. Excellent. M: Medium with light to medium carbonation. O: One of the better barleywines out there. I bet aging makes this one unbeatable. Share with friends.

The beer pours a super dark, rich, brown color, hues of caramel and khaki with a thick beige head that has decent retention, settling nicely into a surplus of film around the rim of the glass, yet yields just a spot or two of lace. The aroma is really lovely, lots of burnt marshmallow, brown sugar, rich toffee, sweet grain, light oak, smooth bourbon with mild vanilla. Super sweet, but very complex and rewarding. The flavors resonate well, incredible marshmallow character initially, brown sugar, toffee, molasses, chewy oak, smooth and subtle bourbon, vanilla is mild with a nice smooth malt finish. The body is where this beer stumbles, lots of zippy carbonation, a bit unpleasant at times, that is a little too lively. It coats mildly well, but could do with a much richer and smoother feel. The finish is easy, a bit peppy but still fairly smooth and warming. Verdict: A delightful Barrel Aged Barleywine from Central Waters, and one of their finest products. The body really doesn't do this beer justice as the flavors are so spot on, perfect marshmallow toastiness. It reminds me a lot BB4D, which is one of my favorite beers to date.

Only one thing could induce relatively sane San Franciscans to brave merciless fluorescent lighting and risky business propositions in the gritty Tenderloin: succulent tandoori chicken with a grill's kiss of seared smokiness.
Only one thing could induce relatively sane San Franciscans to brave merciless fluorescent lighting and risky business propositions in the gritty Tenderloin: succulent tandoori chicken with a grill's kiss of seared smokiness.
Chinatown and North Beach cross-pollinate with creamy concoctions that improve on the ordinary, elevating the usual Chinese green tea or Italian pistachio ice cream options to a decadent choice of Kyoto maccha tea or locally roasted California pistachio gelato.
Hecho's formula is simple: top-grade, thick-cut sushi and succulent meats grilled over Japanese charcoal, served with seasonal sakes and tequila – 80 different kinds. In a break with downtown chic, mirroring the menu's rustic frankness, Hecho's decor has a dressed-down, varnished-wood look, but chairs aren't comfy enough to linger long.
Between the rare Beatles memorabilia plastering the walls and adventurous foods drifting by on skewers, dinner at this snug five-table joint feels like stowing away on the Yellow Submarine. Ramen is respectably toothsome, but the house specialty is yakitori, small bites crammed onto sticks and barbecued.
Some 30 food trucks circle their wagons at SF's largest mobile-gourmet hootenanny (other nights/locations attract less than a dozen trucks; see website). Arrive before 6:30pm or expect 20-minute waits for Chairman Bao's clamshell buns stuffed with duck and mango, Roli Roti's free-range herbed roast chicken, and dessert from the Crème Brûlée Man.
An otherwise nondescript Mission block is thronged with grinning grown-ups and kids doing happy dances as they make their Mitchell's selections: will it be a classic like Kahlua mocha cream or a tropical flavor like macapuno (young coconut)? The avocado and ube (purple yam) are acquired tastes, but they've been local favorites for generations – Mitchells has kept San Franci.
Jerked, blackened, almond-encrusted, tossed in a tortilla: get your fish as you like it at this tiny restaurant. (It's also sustainably farmed and under $10.) Adventurous eaters can't resist the lure of the Suspicious Fish dish, made with the catch of the day and the chef's inspiration.
An international idea that's pure California: choice morsels of fresh seafood served raw Italian-style, with pan-Asian condiments and East–West beers. Start with Japanese Hitachino white ale and raw fluke with coconut milk and grapefruit, and graduate to potent Belgian Tripel ales with wasabi-spiked Arctic char.
Upgrade from taqueria to sit-down restaurant at this casual Mexican spot that uses all-organic ingredients in its Mexico City–derived cooking. Meals are served at tile-top tables with Frida Kahlo images embedded within. Everything is made to order, including guacamole and tortillas.
Chef-owner Michael Tusk won the 2011 James Beard Award for best chef. Ever since, it's been hard to book a table at Cotogna (and its fancier big sister Quince, next door), but it's worth planning ahead to be rewarded with his authentic rustica Italian cooking that magically balances a few pristine flavors. Pastas are outstanding, and pizzas have tender-to-the-tooth crusts.
Career carnivores won't realize there's no meat in the hearty black-bean chili with crème fraîche and pickled jalapeños, or that roasted eggplant panino (sandwich), packed with hearty flavor from ingredients mostly grown on a Zen farm in Marin.
Dim sum aficionados used to cramped quarters and surly service are wowed by impeccable shrimp and leek dumplings, tender asparagus, crisp Peking duck, and coconut-dusted custard tarts, all dished up from carts with a flourish in a spacious, sunny room.
Brunch gets an upgrade to first class with farm-fresh organic ingredients: pancakes come with strawberries and bourbon syrup, while huevos rancheros (ranch-style eggs) are served with heritage beans and sustainably raised pulled pork.
When Gold Rush miners found gold here they treated themselves to 'Frenchy food,' on what was once San Francisco's Barbary Coast. Now you too can start your day striking it rich with flaky cinnamon twists and not-too-sweet pain au chocolat (chocolate croissants).
Unpredictable, utterly decadent cravings worthy of a William S Burroughs novel are satisfied by the ever-changing menu at this lunch stall tucked between XXX entertainment venues.
VIP all the way, with Baccarat crystal chandeliers, tawny leather chairs and your choice of 1000 wines. Ladies who lunch dispense with polite conversation, tearing into grass-fed burgers on house-baked English muffins loaded with pickled onions, zucchini grown on the restaurant's own organic farm and an optional slab of foie gras.

text: St. John's University School of Law opened its doors on September 28, 1925. Founded 55 years after the opening of St. John's University by the Vincentian Community, the School initially dedicated itself to educating the children of individuals who had been denied access to economic and educational opportunities. In the School of Law's first year, classes were held in the Terminal Building at 50 Court Street, Brooklyn. The University selected George W. Matheson to lead the School of Law through its first crucial years of existence. From the beginning, classes filled so quickly that expansion was necessary almost immediately. In August 1926, the school leased additional space in neighboring buildings. Soon, even they overflowed. The School of Law needed a new facility in which to grow. The school subsequently moved into a new fourteen-story building at 96 Schermerhorn Street in downtown Brooklyn. In 1932, Dorothy C. Most, a native of Oklahoma educated in Texas, was appointed Dean of Women, a new position established to encourage the development of women leaders in the legal profession. The strong leadership of the School of Law continued under Reverend Joseph T. Tinnelly, C.M., Dean from 1950-1959, Reverend William F. Cahill, Acting Dean in 1960, and Harold F. McNiece, Dean from 1961-1970. As college and graduate school applications skyrocketed in the late 1960s, the entire University began to once more feel confined. In 1970, John J. Murphy became Dean of the School of Law. In one of his first official acts, Dean Murphy presided over the ground-breaking ceremony for the Queens Campus, where most of the University stands today. The School of Law moved into its new home in 1972 – finding space for more classrooms, an expansive law library, and offices for the growing faculty. By 1981, when Dean Patrick J. Rohan began his decade-long tenure as the head of the School, many additional faculty members had been hired. Once again, the school needed more room. On June 8, 1991, Dean Rudolph C. Hasl and benefactor Leon Finley '29, '85HON broke ground for yet another expansion to the School of Law, Finley Hall, which would more than double the size of the School. The building added a new cafeteria with expanded facilities, a larger and thoroughly modern law library, additional classrooms, and more. Through the generosity of Jerome and Maxine Belson, the older building was renovated and made compatible with Finley Hall. The combined buildings, Belson and Finley Halls, provide a very attractive and spacious facility for the School of Law. The School currently boasts more than 13,000 living graduates and attracts students from over 200 colleges and universities throughout the country. The current student body of approximately 1,000 represents students from many backgrounds, all of whom have excelled in undergraduate institutions, and many of whom have been employed prior to starting their law studies. Today, the School of Law's original vision has widened to include students from all parts of the nation and the world who share a mutual commitment to the pursuit of excellence.

What is Annex G?
NSF/ANSI Standard 61 was revised in December 2008 to establish requirements for use when a 0.25% lead content requirement needs to be met in addition to current chemical extraction requirements of the standard. The requirements were placed in Annex G - Weighted Average Lead Content Evaluation Procedure to a 0.25% Lead Requirement. In addition, mandatory language placing restrictions on the use of lead as an intentional additive in water contact materials was also added to Section 3. To view the full content of the annex as adopted in NSF/ANSI 61 - 2008, download the PDF document.
A request was made to add these requirements to the standard to allow manufacturers the option of being certified to a lead content standard, such as California's Health & Safety Code (Section 116875) commonly known as AB1953. That law, which goes into effect January 1, 2010, applies to any pipe, pipe of plumbing fitting, or fixture intended to convey or dispense water for human consumption through drinking or cooking. A similar law has been enacted in Vermont and is also to take effect January 1, 2010.
The annex was developed through the Lead Task Group of the Drinking Water Additives Joint Committee and includes requirements that enable conservative and consistent application of the lead content evaluation procedure. Highlights include:
- The annex contains <0.25% weighted average lead content requirements. Compliance is determined by a weighted average calculation involving the maximum percent lead content of material specifications and wetted surface areas.
- Does not consider coatings or acid washing. Compliance is determined by the maximum percent lead content of material specification for each component prior to application of any coatings or lead wash treatments. Documents including an opinion from East Bay Municipal District and statement of legislative intent were provided to the Lead Task Group during development of the annex.
- For internally threaded products, the wetted surface area includes 25 percent of the threaded area(s). This is consistent with the assumptions used in the rest of Standard 61.
- Annex G did not contain a verification test protocol when it was first developed. The California Department of Toxic Substance Control subsequently developed test protocols for the determination of lead content and these were incorporated into NSF 372.
- Annex G is an optional annex under NSF/ANSI 61. Certifications to Annex G note compliance within the NSF/ANSI 61 or NSF/ANSI 14 listing.
- The annex requires full compliance with NSF/ANSI 61.
- The annex does not specifically reference California and applies to any jurisdiction with a ≤0.25% weighted average lead content requirement.

Changes to GCSE's confusing according to teaching union in Lancashire (From The Bolton News)

Changes to GCSE's confusing according to teaching union in Lancashire
6:00am Sunday 3rd November 2013 in NW
PROPOSED changes to GCSEs have been branded 'confusing' by a teaching union.
Ofqual's new designs for the exam system will involve replacing the former A* to U grading system with numbers.
That the overhaul will also see coursework scrapped for most subjects has been criticsed by the NUT.
Pupils will begin studying the new courses in English language, English literature and maths from the autumn of 2015.
Another 20 GCSE subjects will be revamped in the same way, ready for teaching a year later, in 2016, with the first exams for those taken in 2018.
Exams will be no longer be graded with letters and instead rated numerically from 1 to 9, with 9 being the highest. Pupils who fail will be awarded a "U" for an unclassified result.
Simon Jones, Blackburn with Darwen representative for the NUT and national executive member for Lancashire said proposals should have been trialled first.
He said: "Although the new grading system is supposed to represent a new standard, this will simply be confusing for learners, the public and employers.
"Scrapping coursework and having a single three-hour exam at the end of a course is built on a faulty premise that by definition all other approaches represent lower standards.
"However modules and coursework all have their role to play in getting the very best out of all learners.
"The Government and Ofqual have not sufficiently consulted with the profession or secured the support of teachers themselves for the changes. This contrasts with the introduction of GCSEs in the 1980s when teachers were involved in and supported the reforms."
Darwen Aldridge Community Academy principal Brendan Loughran said he felt enough time had been given to become more accustomed to the changes.
He said: "Essentially we have got until 2015 to get prepared for this overhaul. There will be some confusion, I think that is inevitable with any major change. For a while everyone is going to refer back and 'translate' the numbers to what they know.
"From what I can gather getting a 'nine' will be one up from an A*. There's time to become accustomed before it is properly in force.
"I remember the GCSE's overhaul in the 80s and people took time to adjust from the old O-Levels."

The recent cancellation of HBO's new series Luck, spawned by three consecutive horse deaths during filming, has refueled fires amongst activists working with NY CLASS, an organization which seeks to stop the use of horse-drawn carriages for the unsafe conditions associated with the city's famed hansom cabs. This march, after HBO's decision to cancel Luck, activists working for the organization, aware of the grim realities for animal safety in the horse-drawn carriage industry, voiced this powerful statement in reaction to the premium network's decision to cease production after animals endured harm and were even killed during the filming:
"HBO should be leading the way on entertainment, not animal welfare issues," said Carly Knudson, Executive Director of the program and avid animal rights activist, during an address to the New York City Council this week.
For these frustrated animal rights' campaigners, there's simply no reason New Yorkers can't be moved to action when faced with mounting numbers of carriage related emergencies, accidents, injuries, and deaths. After all, if HBO's management and Luck's production team are capable not only of coming together to recognize an unethical situation in need of a remedy, but also of taking collective action to stop these wrongs- then what's stopping concerned New Yorkers from doing the same?
In their latest petition to the council this March, NY CLASS emphatically restated the need to pass legislation for cleaner and safer green alternatives to Manhattan's horse-carriage industry. In the past year alone there have been a series of highly publicized accidents involving horse-drawn carriages, some related to horses' sometimes erratic and unmanageable behaviors, sometime related to outdated, dangerous technologies, as well as many other variables. A simple Google search of "horse carriage accident nyc" will reveal just how deadly the horse carriage business is. Earlier this month another famous incident involving an inexplicably startled horse ended in disaster when the horse overturned the carriage and dragged it behind him down 11th Avenue, until finally collapsing violently at the foot of The Daily Show Building and studios.
But what about the beloved, albeit anachronistic, hansom cab, one of the quaint staples of Central Park South, one of the most ubiquitous, historically evocative tourist attractions in the city, an industry which draws so much business from the old-fashioned charm and style of their transport? NY CLASS has attempted to incorporate such considerations into the current plan they're pursuing through legislation.
The proposed plan highlights the dramatic improvements in animal welfare and public safety it would enact, while still attempting to preserve some of the allure of this old-fashioned transportation novelty. The plan also accommodates carriage-drivers and maintains employment opportunities within the new system, so as not to negatively impact the workers. The proposed legislation outlines an operation to gradually phase-in two varieties of vintage, turn-of-the-century replica cars, as replacements for the carriages. The cars will run only on electricity, in addition to meeting NY CLASS's primary goal of alleviating some of the unsavory and negligent treatment practices horses are subjected to everyday under current conditions. And, most amazingly, making the proposed changes can be accomplished at no cost to the city!

As I have said in an earlier blogpost, gaming competitions can be great fun, but also very difficult to get into. Some gamers, (like myself) find themselves in a position where they want to join a tournament but either 1) can't find any or 2) can only find tournaments that have that wonderful unspoken requirement that you have to be an elite gamer to compete. Well I'm here to tell you that you don't have to be a ridiculously awesome gamer, or have to travel three states over to find a good tournament. Here's a list of tips in finding competitions in your own backyard:

If you love beer and radishes, then Octoberfest in Bavaria is where you need to be. Some of my best memories lay in the gutters of Munich after too much beer (just kidding, that's not possible) and too many unfiltered Camel cigarettes (that is most definitely possible). But, that's all in the past now as my very favorite and newly esteemed image of Octoberfest is the wunderbar model Katharina Wyrwich, who won some kind of Dirndl wearing contest to take the Ms. Octoberfest title this year and promptly removed her Alpine dress so that we might see the full Octoberfest Monty on the pages of Playboy Germany. That is exactly how the world should be, in my humble opinion.
Octoberfest in Bavaria, go, visit, drink, vomit, drink some more. It's not as amazing as the body on Katharina Wyrwich, but, it's close. Prost!
