Notes/Commercial Description:
Our friends south of the equator really have this hop growing thing figured out and we are ecstatic they do. Without them we couldn't brig you Unicorn Galaxy. We built a platform of malted barley and wheat then atop that we constructed our ode to Galaxy hops. The hop character really shines through with aromas and flavors of tropical fruit, tangerine, citrus, passion fruit and fresh cut grass. Drink early, drink often.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: light orange color. Low carbonation on the pour and active in the glass while drinking. Light random lacing.
Smell: nice medium bodied bitterness brought by the galaxy hops jumps out. The wheat backbone provides a wonderful base for the tropical fruits of pineapple, mangos, tangerines, and kiwis. Wonderfully balanced.
Taste: wow just bright tropical fruits all over the place. The front is the fruits found in the aroma that flow on to the palate so easily yet seem to explode once there. The fruits just continue to dance on the palate long into the body an finish. Some light earthy bitterness pops up on the finish which adds a needed changeup in the taste.
Mouthfeel: juicy fruits explode on the palate and some hop bitterness but not as much as I expected after the aroma.
Overall: a simply wonderful brew. I love my tropical fruity big ipas so this one is no disappointment. Galaxy hops might be one of my favorites, a wonderful balanced of bitterness gets mixed in too.

Poured from a 22 oz bomber, batch 81
A - Pours a hazy orange color with puffy 1.5 finger, white head.
S - Full citrus notes, grapefruit, orange, and lemon bursting out of the nose. Light floral in the background, bready malts, a little bit peppery.
T - Full mouth of hops here. Big on the floral hops, before changing to good, sweet citrusy hop bite. Finishes bitter and malty with a tinge of sting from the alcohol. Truly excellent
M - Incredibly full, yet smooth. Thick, even.
Overall - Blown away by this beer. Very, very good. A truly excellent DIPA

1744th Review on BA
Bottle to GI Chalice
Batch 81
Thanks to KevanB for the gift
App- A very traditional looking DIPA to me. A lot of blending of oranges and yellows with a huge 3 finger head. A wonderful amount of cling. I mean even in a GI chalice this thing was a thing of beauty. Cling and lace for days with a slightly deeper hazy color behind it.
Smell- A nice aromatic beer. A bit of a deeper citrusy hops. A bit tropical with more guava and mango than grapefruit and orange. A good amount of hops and then balanced by just a touch of grassy and herbal malts.
Taste- This was a good DIPA. I liked the balance of the citrus and the bitter hops with a bit of caramel and lime juice. A unique grassy flavor with a bit of butterscotch. A little bit all over the place but it works.
Mouth- A nice a medium bubbly body with a medium and dense citrus laden carbonation. Big amounts of tropical fruits with a nice hoppy bitter balance behind it.
Drink- Damn this was good! 3rd coast is creeping on my WC. Oh wait I am from Chicago. I should love this and I did.

22oz, Batch #81
DFH IPA glass
A: Murky pale orange color. Good carbonation. Good two fingers of slightly off white fluffy head. Sticks around a whole.
S: Lots of grapefruit on the nose. That bitter rind. Big citrus along with it. Very fruity and sweet. Really buries the malt bill. Maybe pull a little wheat sweetness.
T: The cloudy look reminded me of HF or Heady Topper like brews. Up front you get that rush of hop bitterness up front in the tongue. It's that nice bitter grapefruit rind flavor that I smelled. Big fruity hops in this one. Drifts into the mid palate where the sweet wheat malt and caramel meld nicely. The finish is dry and linger hop reisinous flavors.
M: Medium bodied. The wheat definitely adds.

Batch 81. Poured from 22 oz. bomber into a tulip.
A - Pours a light goldenrod, with a small half finger of head. Immaculate lacing, like the garter of a seductive mistress.
S - Lots of orange & lemon & grapefruit, with a background of coconut & tropical fruitiness. Mango and guava pay a visit. Pineapple perhaps. Half of a fresh fruit basket.
T - Starts smooth and citrusy, before transitioning to a malted bread character. Booze is minimally present, but the front and back flavor profiles provide outstanding balance.
M - Nothing out of the ordinary here, medium bodied with some nice carbonation.
O - Damn fine beer. It's hard for me to believe that Pipeworks has only been brewing for a little over a year. I'm not sure what I've been doing with my life -- these are all must-buys. I'm loading up the next time I see them at the store.

Well to start, the label art on this beer is ridiculously awesome. Unicorns and rainbows... what more could one want? This pours a slightly cloudy orange with white head. Heavy lacing is left with good head retention. The aroma has a huge ripe melon and mango character with a bit of pine and syrup to back it up. Evidence of strong malt backbone present beneath the strong hop profile. This smells insanely hoppy with a rich malt backbone. The taste starts with waves of citrus, primarily orange. This is followed by more tropical fruits. bits of melon, peach and mango shine through. Then things take a turn for the more bitter side of things. It is at this time that the strong malt backbone shines through. The finish has a heavy hop bitterness which seems to be diffused by the malt. Nicely balanced. Mouthfeel is somewhat heavy for style with moderate carbonation. Overall, a delicious DIPA from Pipeworks.!

This poured out as a clear golden yellow color with a nice foamy white head on top. The retention was nice and the lacing was decent too. The smell of the beer is fruity and sweet with an interesting hop aroma in there too. The taste of the beer is pretty good, nicely balanced malt and hop profiles. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with a nice drinkable carbonation level. Overall it's a pretty good brew. Wouldn't mind having it again one day.

Excited to try this one. Pipeworks has a ton of great offerings, and this one has a lot of hype around it. 22oz bomber, batch 81, poured carefully into a Hopleaf Tulip glass. $10.99/bottle.
Appearance: light orange to golden. 2 fingers of pure white head. After careful decanting, no yeast in the glass and good clarity. Modest lacing, modest retention.
Smell: Over the top with citrus. Lemon, orange, floral, grass, some pine. Doesn't smell overly sweet, malty, or overly alcoholic.
Taste: Follows along the hop profile in the nose pretty well. Lots of orange. 20% wheat beer, tastes like even more. Lots of bittering hops added. A little touch of alcohol is noticeable.
Feel: Crisp, moderately carbonated, smooth, then sticky, and finally dry.
Overall: A really solid wheat-based DIPA. I would enjoy having this again. I probably won't buy it again anytime soon though, price point is pretty high. I had really high expectations, and was hoping this would compare to DIPA hall of fame beers like Pliny and Heady, but it's not at that tier. Still quite good though.

Bottle from buzze40, 650ml bottle into a tulip. Batch 65.
Clear orange, white head with decent lacing and retention. Nose has huge pineapple juice character, piney, citrus and general fruit juice notes. Sweet candy-ish malt character. Taste has more pineapple juice, piney bitterness, gummy bears and candy malt. Medium sweetness cut by a nice sharp but not too intense bitterness. Some alcohol and lower medium carbonation. Crazy nice hop profile, huge hit.

Batch# 67 poured from the bottle into a Teku glass
The beer pours light orange with a half inch of creamy, white head. The head sits atop the body like a fluffed pillow. It flattens rather quickly and leaves a solid white ring around the sides of the glass.
The aroma is tropical and grassy. Mango, grapefruit and orange are dominant. They all smell freshly cut up. Layers of pineapple in the middle is followed by malty sweetness. The bitterness is surprisingly muted in the nose.
The taste brings more of the same tropical and citrusy flavors of grapefruit, pineapple and orange. Here the bitterness makes itself known and helps to balance out the sweet malt body. This is superbly balanced.
The mouthfeel is soft and creamy. The carbonation is on the lower end, but doesn't hinder the final product. This is perfectly drinkable at 9.5%.
Overall, this is a gold medal type of DIPA and one of Pipework's best offerings. What really impresses me is the boundless tropical flavors and ease of drinkability. This is worth trying many times over.

Batch 67
Intense hop aroma. Very grapefruity with slight pine scent. Delicious.
High hop flavor and bitterness that overwhelms any maltiness. Similar to a white grapefruit, if there is to be any fruitiness. Bitterness is lasting and a bit harsh at the end
Medium carbonation renders an overall dry sensation. Smooth alcohol warming.
Overall a decent DIPA. Would be interested in future batches.

A - pours a hazy orange color with some nice 'sunset' tints in there. A slight glow in there that just reminds me of a color you'd see during a sunset.
S - wonderful fresh pine scents with hints of fruit such as some apple and pear. Just a very nice aroma here with this one.
T - nice crisp hoppy brew with some solid pine notes. Not much fruit on the taste which was a downer for me. But still good.
M - good caramel like coating but not sticking around like most DIPAs which was a nice change for me.
O - a solid dipa. I'd recommend this one.

22oz bottle poured into a snifter. Batch number 65.
A- Pours a light and cloudy orange color. A half fingers worth of white head quickly fades to some froth along the sides of the glass.
S- This beer smells awesome. I get a huge hit of citrus as soon as the cap is popped. Grapefruit, mango, and orange dominate the smell.
T- Starts off hoppy with an astringent type aftertaste. The citrus hops from the smell carry over into the taste. I also get some piney resin hop notes. Slight bready malts in the backend also.
M- Light to medium bodied. Drinks much easier than one would think for 9.5%. Nicely hopped with a dry finish.
Pipeworks is really doing some good stuff, especially in the realm of DIPAs. I'd pick this one up again.

batch #67
a: light golden hue, translucent. one finger frothy white head. thin, sticky lacing.
s: tropical, citrus hop explosion (grapefruit, mango, orange, pineapple, tangerine).
t: following on from the nose, tropical/citrusy hops come through at the forefront (primarily pineapple. A malt presence in the background. Finishes with a definite peppery bitterness and this peppery bitterness lingers on into an off aftertaste.
m: medium body & carbonation. finishes slightly dry
o: I'm a big fan of NvU and Citra Ninja. I was looking forward to this one but the peppery bitterness described above is too overpowering in the taste. I see another review of batch 67 mentioning a similar thing regarding the bitterness. I haven't had one from batch #65 for comparison, unfortunately. This one is a bit disappointing, however.

22 oz bottle from batch #65
Pour: A lightly hazy orange hue with a very moderate head of maybe a finger. Head that did form receded very quickly to a ring along edge of glass.
Smell: Tropical fruits of mango, papaya, pineapple, tangerine, and grapefruit overwhelm the nose. A noticeable malt comes from this beer and a sweet wheat aroma rises to my nose. Reminds me of a caramel coated sugar candy somewhat. Nice!
Taste: Sweet tropical fruits like in the nose with the pineapple, orange and grapefruit first. I am getting a lot of caramel, honey sweetness actually and quite surprised by this. After this the and on the finish some bitterness comes through in the form a grass hop but not overpowering at all. After sipping for a while I am getting some onion that does detract from it a bit.
Mouthfeel: Medium with a fairly sticky feel that gives way to a creamy finish.
Overall: Pipeworks continues to impress me with each of their IPA's and DIPA's that I have had to date. I will try each of these offerings if I am lucky enough to get them.

Thanks to Joe for this one!
A: Pours a slightly hazy orange/copper color with a small white head on top that sticks around as a small cap of foam on top. Thin lacing forms randomly down the sides of the glass. Lots of bubbles released from the bottom.
S: Tons of citrus fruit right away. Grapefruit, pineapple, and some citrus zest. Very melony as well and fresh smelling. Fantastic.
T: More citrus upfront with some grapefruit, mango, and orange but there is a lot more piney bitterness in the flavor profile than the aroma. A bit soapy, but in the good way that some DIPAs get.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation, rather dry with a slightly bitter finish.
O: A fantastic DIPA. The first beer from Pipeworks I have had, and hopefully not the last. Really good.

Batch #65. Served in a Founders snifter.
Appearance: Crystal clear gold with a fairly thin white head. Not much head retention.
Smell: Wow. I got a big blast of citrus hops almost instantly after cracking the cap, and my nose wasn't particularly close to the bottle. Bursting with waves of pineapple, passionfruit, and grapefruit, with just a hint of caramel peeking through here and there. Truly phenomenal. Packs that nice resinous punch that great DIPA's have. This is one of those beers that keeps your nose buried in the glass long after it's gone.
Taste: Same great tropical/citrus combo as the smell. Really, really powerful. Malt backbone is perfect - just enough to keep the hop explosion in check, but you don't really taste it at all. This is all about the hops, and the hops are spot on. The finish brings a perfect bitterness wrapped in another layer of pineapple.
Mouthfeel: Dry and crisp, just like all DIPA's should be. Medium carbonation. Once again, spot on.
Overall: Pipeworks kills it when it comes to IPA's. Actually, Pipeworks kills it, period. But this is definitely one of their best to date. Essentially flawless. Packs an obscene amount of flavor and aroma and yet has the drinkability of a pale ale. It's almost too drinkable. Gone far too fast...

Poured from a 22 oz. bottle marked as Batch #67 into a Pipeworks Brewing Company branded snifter
Pours a very slightly hazy pale gold with very light orange accents here and there. Bright white two finger fluffy head. Average retention, splotchy lacing. Grapefruit rind, mixed tropical fruit notes, hint of sweet caramel mallt, and wiffs of fairly strong alcohol. Opens with pineapple and passionfruit, a touch of caramel malt midpalate, and then grapefruit rind bitterness that dominates everything else except medicinal alcohol closer to the dry finish. This brew is so intensely bitter that it caused me to wince before I swallowed and it was almost like I was actually chewing on a grapefruit rind. Full, slick body. Looking at the other reviews, I'm wondering if I got a bad bottle or if there is considerable variation between batches #65 and #67. The nearly unbearable bitterness made this brew unenjoyable and almost undrinkable. Certainly not what I was expecting from a Pipeworks IIPA.

22 oz. bottle served in a Pipeworks tulip. Batch # 65.
A: Pours a clear amber color with a thick white head forming on the pour. It recedes to a thick ring that leaves some soapy looking lace down the glass.
S: Huge waves of tropical and citrus fruits. Pineapple, mango and some cantaloupe. Tangerine, clementine and some honey notes. Caramel malt sweetness as well.
T: Pineapple and mango notes initially with a ton of underlying piney bitterness. Some light lemon peal, orange and some honey notes to it. Sweet bread malt body with a touch of caramel to it. A touch of booze on the back end.
M: Medium to light bodied with a medium high carbonation level. Slightly boozy and sweet, but very drinkable for 9.5%.
O: I still liked the initial flavor profile of Citra Ninja more, but this is an extremely close second for me. This is a little more sweet than CN, but the hops shine a little more. Overall I'm splitting hairs, both are delicious. Well done guys!

A: Clear, light golden color. Forms a moderate-sized white head that collapses rather quickly, though does still manage to leave a moderate amount of lacing on the way down.
S: There is a bit of a dual nature to the aroma. On the one side, there is orange, mango, clementine, and passion fruit. On the other, the aroma is fairly catty, with something that isn't quite onion, but sort of resembles onion. There is a sweet maltiness in the back ground. That said, the orange/tangerine aroma does dominate over the others.
T: The taste is similar to the aroma, but highlights the fruit much more so than the onion. Very mild sweetness. Orange, grapefruit, candied kumquats, and fruit salad on the front end before turning rather bitter, dry, and earthy. Long, bitter finish with just a faint touch of fusel spice.
M: On the heavier side of medium in body. Aggressive bitterness. Medium carbonation. Alcohol is very well hidden.
O: Coming off of Citra Ninja, I had very high expectations for this beer. Unfortunately, they were too high, because even though this beer was not the great one I was expecting, it is still a very good beer. Far better than most. That said, I enjoyed the restrained sweetness and the aggressive bitterness on this one.

On tap at Local Option 12/14/12, served in the Pipeworks Berliner glass.
Pour: Most clear pale orange with a finger and a half of soapy white head. Head hangs around for a litte bit, and leaves some lacing.
Smell: Huge burst of grapefruits and pineapple up front, with some nice floral aspects and light grassiness. Honestly, little to no malt found on the nose with the exception of a light breadyness. Really juicy and nice.
Taste: Follows the nose with big juicy grapefruit up front, pineapple, and some passion fruits. A nice light bready sweetness balances. Hope have a nice bitterness to them that is not overpowering in the least. Finishes juicy with citrus.
Mouthfeel: Super light and drinkable... almost off style, but still awesome. Drinks like a single IPA. Some booze come out as it warms, but only just.
Overall: Pipeworks best beer yet hands down. I hope they add this to the lineup.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle into a Half Acre tulip.
A- Pours a bright caramel with a 2 finger off-white head. Big clumps and bubbles of lacing remain on the glass.
S- Perfect! Big caramel, honey, huge citrus aromas (orange, lemon, pineapple), some pine and light spice notes.
T- Sweet caramel, pineapple, oranges, bitter pine, some onion and spice and more grassy bitterness at the finish.
M- Medium body and carbonation. Starts off a little slick but a nice creaminess comes in after.
O- Pipeworks can do no wrong with their Ninja vs Unicorn series (variants)! Take away a little of the onion spice from the Galactic hops and this would be one of the best DIPA's I have ever had I think.

Bottle from West Lakeview Liquors. Bottled yesterday. Served in a Bell's tulip.
A - A finger of late-rising white foam settles to a partial cap, thick collar, and stray fingers of lacing. Light hazed peach skin-colored body with a few slow-moving bubbles visible.
S - Unsurprisingly the Galaxy hops are front and center, with notes of passion fruit, guava, tangerine, cat pee and onion. Even though this is a 9.5% DIPA, the malt bill is a more complementary than balanced, with a a touch of sugar and dough that combined with with tropical mélange gives this a fruit punch-esque vibe. The sugary note increases as the beer warms up.
T - The taste is quite similar, with tropical fruits dominating mid-palate before yielding to palate-bruising herbal and dank notes. Malt imparts some candied citrus and lightly browned sugar. There's sufficient balance to keep the bitterness from getting totally out of hand, an issue that tends to plague other Galaxy-based beers, but this is very much a hop showcase.
M - Active and pleasant moderate carbonation, hefty medium-full body, with creamy and chewy texture. A tiny bit of alcohol warming but nothing excessive for 9.5%; the bigger body hides the alcohol well.
D - An excellent beer. I had no problem working through the bomber and I'll definitely be buying more of this one. The bitterness gets a tad fatiguing after a glass, but not excessively so. Every release like this makes me happier I chipped in for Friends with Benefits - kudos guys!

And the unicorn parade marches steadily on... bottled today, and mere hours old. Allowed to settle in the fridge for a couple hours, it was actually still cold on the shelf from delivery.
Yellowish orange body, lightly hazed with a sizable head of white foam that leaves behind a flurry of spindly lacing in the glass. Retention is good, and lasts for the duration of the glass.
Bursting with tropical Galaxy hops in the aroma, big mango, orange, passionfruit, a light fruity sweetness with catty dank botanicals, sandalwood plus a hint of the wheat in the background.
Juicy mango and bitter orange peel flavors right away, with a resiny bitter orange zest that lingers into the finish. Caramel hints in the aftertaste, some greenery and grass clippings towards the end. Creamy feel, damn near perfect in that respect. Not overly sweet or boozy, it just glides across the palate. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better than Citra Ninja or NvU, Galaxy Unicorn hits it out of the park. Well done gentlemen.

There's so much happening downtown."
Or "The revitalization of downtown Tulsa is really going gangbusters."
Or "Man, this is a pretty great time to be in Tulsa."
We all hear these sentiments thrown around, and we have for years.
The thing is, though, all this stuff is true. Downtown Tulsa continues to become cooler and cooler.
The latest addition to the area opens this week. At first glance the Guthrie Green is a park. But it's a lot more than just that.
Shirley Elliott, who works for the Tulsa Performing Arts Center Trust and serves as program director of Guthrie Green, led with the name.
"The Green is green," she said. "It's got geo-thermal wells in it, and that will ultimately help power the Mathews building. And all the water that drains off the Green is going to be recycled, and the dock area, which is where the restaurant is going to go on the north side -- it's got solar panels."
So there's that. It's eco-friendly. Neato. But there's so much more. It's a little spot of green right in the middle of an urban setting. There are five water features. There are lights. There's a performance venue.
And regarding that, Elliott and Steve Liggett -- program director for Living Arts -- spoke at length about the arts and artists and the importance of each in a community, they both made a point to specify that the Guthrie Green is more than just another place to hear live music.
"I wouldn't say entertainment is the main function," Elliott said. "I think the main function is a green space in this urban environment. It contains a performance venue and water features and a restaurant, so it's a combination of things. It's not entirely a performance venue."
Well, then, why the Guthrie Green? Why does this place, nestled in at Boston and Brady, exist?
"What we're trying to accomplish is creating a gathering place. A gathering place for people, and this is a great location, because it's an interaction of several communities," Elliott said. "And we hope those communities will meet and interact and gather and appreciate in the park. So you come for dinner, and then go walk in the park after. Or you might go to Lucky's and then hear some music after."
Lucky's, by the way, is Lucky's On The Green, a restaurant opening under the able knives of Matt Kelley, who also runs Lucky's on Cherry Street.
But the Green and the new restaurant and everything else going on is all a part of a larger, concerted effort to build an arts-based community.
Often, when one thinks of such a thing, one imagines Soho. And that's not an accident, according to Liggett.
"Soho in New York was actually the model that a lot of developers have used all across the United States," he said. "You get the artists to move in. Because it's cheap and its derelict and people are thinking, 'Nobody wants this, so I can do what I want.' So artists move in, and then it starts to become kind of chic."
It builds from there, and we all know what this means.
"Then restaurant owners and bar owners start thinking, 'This is going to develop, so we need to get in on that,'" Liggett said. "Then the developers start thinking, 'Hey, let's up the ante a little and get in on that,' and it grows from there."
Elliott chimed in to speak about how the Guthrie Green in particular, and the whole Brady district and downtown areas in general, have come to be what they are today.
"Part of the process in building a community is called asset-based community building," she said. "We look at what we have that's good. What does Tulsa already have? We're building on the assets, not the weaknesses."
One of the things Tulsa has is a vibrant arts scene. So why not capitalize?
"Some of the developers have a real vision for this to be forever an arts district," Liggett said. "The artists are the main part of the creativity and what's happening in this area. None of this can exist without the artists, both performing and visual artists. They're the element that keeps change alive. Without them, it's just another Bricktown, you know? Just another franchise city."
"Back around 2005, we needed a strategic plan," he continued. "We brought in a guy from Minneapolis called Tom Borrup. He's got a book called The Creative Community Builder's Handbook. He came in to help us, and what he found was that Tulsa doesn't really know who it is. We don't have, like, barbecue as our big deal or whatever. He really searched for, you know, 'What is specifically Tulsa?'"
In addition to the arts scene, we also have some pretty great buildings. Think about it -- how many artists are out there painting or photographing Tulsa buildings? They're not doing so because they're bored, you know.
"We have this rich history of all these old buildings and things like that, so we want to build on that, not try to tear them down and start over," Liggett said.
"There's this notion of 'Don't throw away the past,'" he said. And it's starting to pay dividends.
"Now, people like the Guthrie foundation are looking at this area and saying, 'Let's go there,' Liggett said. "Now there are lofts and things, and people are moving down here and creating a village within a municipality."
That's good for a lot of people and a lot of businesses for a lot of reasons, Elliott said.
"There are a lot of businesses that have been down here a long time waiting, and they have invested in this area," she said. "Spaghetti Warehouse has been here a long time. Caz's has been here a long time." And the Guthrie Green is just the latest newcomer joining these mainstays.
Elliott hopes that this means more and more people will keep pouring into the downtown area.
"I'm hoping that a lot of people who never come downtown or who think that downtown is questionable will come down and see what this district has to offer," she said. "We want people to be able to come and experience something interesting."
To that end, the Kaiser Foundation, which served as benefactor for the Green, and Elliott plan to look to the artists to drive what's happening there.
"We hope to use the space in multiple ways," she said. "What we really hope will happen is that artistic groups like Living Arts or Portico Dans Theatre Tulsa Camerata or whoever will say, 'We want to do something there,' and it won't just be a strictly-music venue, but an artists' venue."
Relying on the creative community to come up with creative things seems like a no-brainer, and again, Elliott's banking on that being a good idea.
"People will figure out interesting ways to use that space and come to the organizers with proposals that are of interest," she said. "It's an arts park, and we want to see Tulsa's creativity. We don't want to see the same thing every weekend. We want really interesting events to happen there. We rely on Tulsa's creativity. It's the artists. It's not the programmers like me. It's people who will say, 'I've got an idea for something really interesting in the park.'"
Beginning with Friday's 3pm ribbon-cutting ceremony, we'll get to watch the whole thing take off.
"The fountains will be running, and food will be there, and the lights will be burning, and it's going to be beautiful. It's going to be a wonderful place to be," Elliott said. "There's a lot of good things happening."

^^This is a pet-peeve of mine. When 'experts' and widely respected doctors come onto "The View", like Dr. Oz did today and say that meat isn't the cause of obesity.
He showed three human hearts - one healthy heart, one enlarged, and one ridiculously enlarged. And proceeded to say that sugar was a big culprit in the obesity epidemic today. NO specific mention of consuption of fats at. all.
It just frustrates me. The topic of the show was "Obesity".
Yes, we need to get rid of kool-aid and soda in schools, Dr. Oz was saying the culprits are "white foods". white flours, breads..
There are some who react to gluten, true, and refined, bleached carbs are not the best form of carbs.. But, generally, I feel a lot of doctors miss the boat, in terms of fat and meat. I have never in my life ever had a doctor say to 'lay off the meat' or fatty foods. It's always: "Cut down on carbs." One doctor told me to just 'eat soup' as a means to lose weight. (And this was our family doctor for a couple decades.) I see this on all our shows, too - The Doctors, The Revolution, etc..
And the US wonders why we're struggling w/ obesity when all our own doctors don't have a single clue.. That it's the fat that makes you fat.
Dr. OZ is a television personality. I don't take any of them too seriously.
unfortunately too many people do.
Dr. Oz is not very consistent
-one minute has dr neal barnard and he says hes won over and hes going mostly plant based,
-next minute promotes fish oil,
-next minute has forks over knifes,
-next minute blames carbs.
-next minute he talks about the virtues of exercise and eating a salad*
can't expect much from a television Programming , Its Entertainment folks!
1. set the bar too low oversimplify things cause the audience is too dumb?
2. tell people good things about their bad habits as not to offend corporate sponsors?
3. confusing and conflicting half truth reports: "eggs were bad, now study says they are good/ carbs are good now they are bad"
4. ????
5. Profit
I agree - their messages are contradicting! I think it leaves most of us confused..
good point about the sponsors!
And I agree esp. on the point that.. although tv is categorized as mostly entertainment, these shows are most definitely not seen as such. most people take them as fact and the most recent and accurate findings..
also their programming is owned by advertisers so they are probably told to cover everything, what to cover, etc - I am curious what his REAL views are.
Yea, very good point. I'm sure it's all got to be 'approved' by the powers that be.
I agree completely. If I weren't so fruitily carbed up, it would drive me insane. It's absolutely the worst if you're having a back-and-forth with a SAD eater who uses them as sources, and when I come in with my T. Colin Campbell/Dr. Doug Graham/Harley Johnstone, etc. they of course go "I've never even heard of him. If it were really that good for us, we would have heard of it." That's when I want to start jumping up and down trying to rip my hair out while yelling "Don't you get it?! If you were HEALTHY you'd stop consuming and the government wouldn't make any MONEY! Why doesn't this make sense to you?!!"
Ugh. Why doesn't it make sense to so many people?? I feel like all you have to do is think about it for a second to realize that things are not as they should be.
Right - supposedly what's most commonly believed or 'heard' on public tv, is apparently what's right.
If this were true, then the advertisements by doctors promoting cigarettes in the 1950's would have been true and accurate.. :/
I think, also, it has a lot to do w/ the fact that about 80% of funding for medical universities comes from pharmaceutical co.'s. This just lends itself to info. promoting medication, instead of good research, studies and information on food, nutrition and true health. No wonder doctors are so incredibly inaccurate in their views on weight, nutrition and medication. :P
As far as the logic of it, I think a huge thing is that people (namely the legal powers that be and the pharm co's) don't realize /or hold themselves accountable or responsible for accurate information. There are tons of 'accountability' loopholes. The pharm co's are obviously financially driven, leading the education at medical universities to be supportive of this biased view that's financially profitable for the pharm. co's. Then, in turn, these students who are doctors-to-be are taught or 'brainwashed' into this philosophy, which they then pass on to the media, their documented studies and to us, individually, when we pay for their services.
What's interesting, is they're educated in the way of "medication", but not in terms of nutrition and overall health.
It really sucks.
One word: ILLliteracy.
That would have totally gotten under my skin as well. What shameful, unproductive and irresponsible comments. But no need to preach here about the garbage that comes out of the mouths of mainstream "doctors" and "nutritionists", I'm guessing ;-)
good post and comments here ! on media i learn
lean meat is good for you
coffee is good for you
eggs and milk also good for you
chocolate is good for you its a superfood!
carbs bad bad bad bad for you !!! limited them !
TRUTH will prevail over non-truth
in the fullness of time what we are doing could become the real health movement : ) because health speaks for itself.
this site is growing fast with good reason.
eat the plants eat enough plants 3000 calories !!! only durian rider suggested this ...
Those r my favorite. 'Coffee is good for you!'
I actually had a hand out given to me at my chiropractor's office that discussed all the wonderful health benefits of .... coffee! Unbelievable. I know it's addictive and therefore very loved by many. But geez, ... coffee? being recommended at a doc's office? Gah.....
I think there's something to the fact that it's the things that are so addictive and that people typically love that are promoted on these shows: like you said coffee and crackao.
It's just incredible. I once called a news station.. I can't remember which one, but it was a major morning show.. They had a nutritionist on and her theme was "The Health Benefits of Dairy" .... hahahahahahahaha...
crazy talk
I just find it frustrating, because as I'm starting new again at 80/10/10, I can't even let my kids watch sesame street because they're talking about ... junk food.. Today on The View (my guilty habit), someone made mention as to how there were 'carbs' in the models' dressing room (the guests on the show) and she didn't have any in hers. - Because heaven forbid anybody beautiful and fit eats any carbs.. Lol Ironically, one of the models is a raw foodist!
Sorry for the rant, but it's just no wonder why the state of the US :( in terms of health. The wrong ideas are being touted evvverywhere. And where's the truth???? It's so hard to come by the truth! I've been digging for what feels like a very long time for it... Thank goodness for DR, FR and DG, I would probably have had a stroke by now or heart attack. :/ (really)

Superhero Movies And Their Tragic Obsession With 90s Rock Music
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on July 5, 2012 | Comments (6)With The Amazing Spider-Man swinging into theaters this weekend, I wanted to take a moment to look back on past superhero movies – not to analyze the characters, the various actors who have played them, the directors, the reboots, remakes, or re-imaginings – I want to talk about the music. (Because, you know, that's what we do here.) The music, which accompanies these larger than life films full of cutting edge technology, vehicles, and gadgets, but often sounds like it was pulled straight out of the '90s rock scene. I have rounded up five songs from various superhero movies that seem a bit out of place alongside the web slinging, Hulk smashing action on screen. These songs usually end up playing over the film's credits (and rarely end up in the movie itself), but even as a footnote, these particular tracks never sound quite on par with the films they are featured in. The songs attempt to add to the emotional undertone of the film or provide one last blast of adrenaline as you walk out of the theater, but with all the high octane action seen on screen, it is strange to see these films paired with songs that do not quite match their tone and pacing.

I have a policy - when you don't know what to do, read. Reading helps give me new perspective and insight that will often strike an 'aha' moment where I come up with an effective strategy. Whether you want to start a business, already have one up and running or want to change businesses, these books are all useful! They are all business reading classics!
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
The Secrets of the Young and Successful
For business plan writing: Pick up any book that has an actual guide with sections to complete to so you can follow it easily.
For inspiration: List a few business people you admire and read their biographies. For example, Richard Branson, Howard Schultz, Steve Jobs, etc.
Creating a learning environment on your own is extremely rewarding, don't miss out on the opportunity to learn something every month!

Often people argue about the value of to-do lists. I hope my post gives you clarity on the importance of organization and creating proper to-do lists.
Some people think…
To-Do Lists = Waste of Time.
To-Do Lists = More Important Than Brushing My Teeth.
To-Do Lists? Wish I Could Be Good At That Sort of Thing.
Personally, my to-do list makes me a better manager, business woman, friend, partner, daughter, and now blogger (I already have a list of topics I want to share with the world). I'm here to convince you to get your act together. Here is my perspective:
1. Your focus is not equipped to consider your daily actions (micro) and your big picture goals (macro) at the same time. Do yourself a favor and write down how your daily actions will get you to your big picture goals and just follow!
2. Your emotions will often get the best of your focus. There will be days that you feel lazy or tired, amongst a variety of other emotions. If you have a list, you can follow it and take action, despite whatever else might be going on.
3. Sometimes people wait to be 'motivated' to do certain things and become intimidated by their own to do lists. Create an internal rule: I must complete my to-do list despite my motivations and devotion. Often you need to take action to allow yourself to even discover the motivation you were waiting around for. One of my favorite Jewish concepts: Out of keva (structure of prayer) comes kavanah (intention, devotion, sincerity). Just like the sages worried that if a person did not regularly experience the kavanah, he or she might stop trying to connect with God all together… as a To-Do List Enthusiast, I worry that if you don't create and regularly follow your to-do list you might not do as much as you are capable of in life.
My personal tips for creating and managing your to-do list:
-Create a quarterly macro list of intentions
-Based on your macro intentions, see what you can do monthly/ weekly/ daily
-Take inventory every night before you sleep so you know what your day will consist of in the morning. It's easier to wake up and do than to wake up and think.
-Since you are committed to check off most of your to-do list each week, if you find yourself tired/ weak one day… check off the items that don't require too much brain power.
Do you have your own thoughts and tips on to-do lists? Share them with me! samira[@]bellacures.com
For more tips on being effective check out an article I was quoted in: http://www.ehow.com/feature_12101525_7-habits-highly-effective-women.html

Posted by Samira Asemanfar
I was almost 19 years old, a business undergrad student at USC, and was at a lunch event with Paul Orfalea, the founder of Kinko's. I was ecstatic thinking to myself: "oh my god, it's him… I want to know how he did it! What do I say?" I wanted to connect with him so badly but I was at a loss for words because "how did you do it?" was not something I could just walk up to him and ask; it didn't feel right. In reality, I just wanted his advice on anything he wanted to give it on and I wasn't sure what to ask to get it. Luckily, I was wearing a very formal skirt suit, panty hose and heels and I caught his eye. He said to me, "why are you dressed like that at school?" I answered, "today is career fair day and I am trying to get a summer job." He looked at me and said with disgust in his voice, "a job?… " He continued, "Don't get a job! Do you live with your family? You don't have any expenses. You are young. Start a business. Any business. Just do something and grow."
His words were etched into the tablet of my mind forever. People's words have tremendous value. Luckily he took the initiative to talk to me. It is very common to admire someone you meet and have an inner burning need to connect with them. Don't miss an opportunity to connect. Learn how to ask the right questions.
What are the right questions? Here are my tips on how to determine if your questions are effective, valuable and lend themselves to a connection.
Does your question have a specific answer? When you are in a public and social environment, you should not burden your connection with an open-ended question that requires a long drawn out explanation.
No-no: "I want to write a book as well. How did you get your book published?"
Right question: "When you decided to write a book which publishing companies did you initially approach?"
Explanation: The right question in this example has a specific answer. You can obtain a list of publishers you might be able to approach. The question is easy to answer, allowing your connection the opportunity to either end the conversation or open up with more information and ask you about your intentions. This could become a very valuable conversation for you. Avoid how and why questions; the answers are never specific.
Make sure your question is not a violation of the person's privacy (money, interest rates on someone's loans, debt, start up costs, etc). These types of questions are not appropriate when you first meet someone. You need to build trust and a personal connection before you should even consider getting into private matters.
No-no: "Are nail salons a profitable business?"
Right question: "What does the manicuring industry's profit margin range between?"
Explanation: If you are curious about the profitability of a nail salon, for example, you should ask a general question, allowing your connection to give a vague answer if they wanted to. Although privacy seems like common sense, as a business woman, you would be surprised how many times people have asked me "is your business profitable?"
Have clarity about your intentions. You want to make sure when you are asking questions the connection feels that their answers are useful to you. If you ask questions that appear to be of no value to you, you are wasting the person's time and no one in the business world respects time-wasters. When you have clear intentions you will be able to ask a series of related questions that will open up conversation on a specific subject. When you are not clear, you will most likely not know what to ask once you get your first question answered and will move into a socially awkward moment.
You have no clear intention because you don't really know what your plans are, but you just want to chat with the person hoping they could say something that will make you clear about your plans.
You: "Where was your first Kinko's location?"
Him: "Santa Barbara."
You: "Oh. Okay. Where do you live now?"
Him: He checks his phone and says, "Sorry I have to take this call" Because he doesn't want to tell you where he lives, he doesn't even know you!
Right Question:
You have a clear intention. You want to open a clothing boutique and want information on how to choose a good location.
You: Where was your first Kinko's location?"
Him: "Santa Barbara."
You: "At the time what factors did you consider when choosing your location."
Him: "Proximity to where I was living at the time, rent, size of space."
You: "Do you still think those are important factors or would you add anything to them now that you've had years of experience?"
When you are clear your connection will realize where you are going with your questions and will be able to help you and will feel good that they could be of value to your needs. The bad example in this situation will make your connection feel that you are awkward, unclear and possibly nosy. They won't know what your intentions are, because you don't know your own intentions.
Do your homework.
Know your industry.
Be genuinely interested in the inner-workings of the business you are asking about.
Be humble.
Be modest in your approach.
Know what you want to gain out of the conversation.
Be clear about what your needs are.
Be clear on what you want to accomplish… Remember that the only difference between someone who owns a successful advertising agency, for example, and someone who wants to is just a series of steps to get there. People who are clear on what they want to accomplish and people who are accomplished are easy to discuss business matters with; it's the confused people that create awkward networking moments.
Be clear on what your skills are and how you may be of use in case you need to barter with the person you want to connect with.
Asking the right questions not only gives you answers that are useful, an opportunity to connect with someone, a potentially valuable conversation, but also gives you credibility.
Effective networking can potentially be your life source. Knowing the right people is not enough. You have to know how to build the right connections with those people. Remember what networking is and network consciously.* Need help determining if your questions are the right ones? Email me: firstname.lastname@example.com.
*Samira's definition of networking:
We are all an abundant resource on different matters. Our goal in human interaction is to provide our resource to another who needs it. When talking, remember to ask questions that bring out the resource you need in the other person. They don't know how to help you. You know. Make what you need clear. Make what your resource is clear to others as well… so you can give others an opportunity to use your resources.

Serve well chilled!The Cider demand in Germany is growing and growing. More and more people like the cider taste - a welcome change from beer or wine.

lovely village location
Just back from a 5 day drinks inclusive stay. First impressions the foyer is modern and brightly decorated, a change from the majority of hotels which have kept their traditional decor. Our room was of a fair size, clean and the bathroom also seemed to have been recently decorated and a good working shower. The food was nice and always hot unlike the temperature of the Dining room which more than myself found to be quite cold. Overall good value for money.

1 Answer from the Community
Well if you have a newer TV you would want a mini display to hdmi adapter then you would just take a 3.5 audio jack and plug one end into your TV and one into your mac. NOTE: You will need to find the port on your TV that has dvi something on it and plug your HDMI cable into that because that is the port that will allow you to plug in separate audio

Even if you drive slow on an icy road will cause the car to get out of control! Safety for our children and for the people who have to get there and work. It's better to be safe than sorry. They'll make it up on the 18th and attendance won't be as bad. Hopefully. I really don't mind at all working that day.

It will be your conscience if someone has an accident on the way to work or school. Just because you're waiting till 10 to start class doesn't mean school buses or staff don't have to get on the road earlier to get there. Also, some staff live in Hebronville, Zapata and surrounding areas which means they have to get on the road early...prepare for subs or dealing with the accident reports...better safe than sorry...CANCEL
la feria said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 10:23 PM
If LISD bozos cancel school they can recover the ADA money from the state on the make-up weather day later. They will have better attendance on that day too therefore recover more attendance money instead of paying to heat empty buildings and pay teachers, substitues, paraprofessionals and administrators.
Anonymous said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 8:53 PM
LISD think about our kids and dont think about your selfs. forget about the money you get from the state. Just think that you will have more absents , what you had wednesday
LISD parent said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 8:42 PM
All I know is that ih35 is closed right now due to too many acccidents...imagine in the morning when bus students are being picked up and LISD are risking the students lives. It will be their responsibilty if the driver wrecks because of the weather conditions.
Anonymous said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 7:32 PM
I heard there were more than 3000 absences at LISD on wednesday, no idea for today, cant even imagine how many more on friday... how much is this going to cost them? The district looses money for every time a student is absent... I guess they want to seem like they are really doing their job by not cancelling classes. UISD busses the majority of thier kids to school and they are cancelling... LISD has many walkers and they staying open... makes no sense...
concerned parent said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 7:26 PM
Yes its a little snow and its cold. Most people are used to it, but take one thing into consideration.... the people of laredo are NOT used it... I picked up my kids after school and see all these kids walking home... LISD board and main office employees should put on a light sweater and walk around the plasita just once or twice to see if they enjoy the weather... not all kids get a ride home!
No way! said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 5:41 PM
i have to be at work by 8...kids can stay with my mom becuase i don't espect my mom to go out in this wether and take them to school at 10! minus 4 kids lisd!
Uuugh said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 5:26 PM
Hellooo...I hope the leaders from Lisd take note before the end of the night and choose to close and save some money...especially since they have not done a good job of it so far and people's jobs are already at risk due to poor budget decision making. I feel sorry for LISD employees.
LISD Student, MAD Parent said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 5:16 PM
Either open or close but what is this of opening at 2 hours late THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! People with jobs don't have the luxury of leaving when they please because the school decides to open late!!!!!
Anonymous said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 5:13 PM
What do the people at LISD think that parents don't work and can just get up and leave their jobs to take kids to school 2 hours late! I am not sending my child and they BETTER NOT MAKE IT AN UNEXCUSED ABSENCE!!!!!!! If they are going to open, OPEN at regular time if not just CLOSE!
rebecca cantu said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 5:06 PM
ya and what about schools with no heaters like j c martin my kids said that the school was very cool how could you keep students there with no heat that is not rigth . it is mean and what if they get sick just because they dont want tho lose money
cityemp said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 5:06 PM
1.Stupid to open 2 hours later. 2. AEP should have given a heads up to everyone at least a few hours before - WE would have been prepared. It was total CHAOS, trying to get thru traffic. Big big THUMBS UP, and THANK YOU to PD officers directing traffic in this mess. You ALL rock!
makes no sense said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 4:44 PM
As the saying goes at LISD..."If it MAKES SENSE...they DON'T DO IT". Then they wonder why everyone thinks idiots run the show.
makes no sense said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 4:37 PM
piensenla said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 4:34 PM
This is not forward thinking by LISD. We have many personel who have students at UISD and who in all probability have a few "sick" days to take. So now we pay teachers, substitutes and heating for a fraction of the students who go to school. It just doesn't add up. If school administrators would only have the gumption to speak up (without reprisals) we wouldn't have an issue.
makes no sense... said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 4:26 PM
What makes no sense is that LISD schools that remain open are going to loose A.D.A. MONEY plus what they spend to open and heat the schools because many parents have to work and cannot bring them 2 hours later...so, go stay at "'buela's" and forget school because i have to go to work NOW, not at 10...isn't the district having a budget crisis already?
chillin said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 2:54 PM
It has nothing to do with the fact of snow - it has to do with the driving conditions. Those that understand know that it can be VERY TREACHEROUS escpecially for people who are NOT used to driving in slippery conditions. There is black ice that can cause spinouts because you do not SEE it. So if we do get any type of precipitaion-PLease be careful if you are on the road DRIVE VERY S:OWLY and WATCH out for the OTHER GUY
Anonymous said on Thursday, Feb 3 at 1:46 PM

Sensational Sunset Sail Aboard the Thane (1.5 hrs.)
by 3 Hour SailThere's nothing quite like the spectacular colors of a sunset as seen from the water. The remains of daylight dance over the waves and calmness fills the air. Dusk offers you the pleasure of experiencing the sea from an entirely new perspective. Begin your sunset cruise with a tour of the harbour, and then you're off to view the stunning First Nations Land and Sea mural. Next, you'll head out to the open seas, where the engine is shut down and you sail gently across the water as the sun sets behind the Sooke Hills. The time is right to open a special bottle of wine, spread some hors'd oeuvres and take in every sensation of this magic moment aboard the gorgeous, painstakingly crafted 55-foot Thane. At your discretion, the Captain and Mate are on hand to offer insight into the marine life that thrives in the Strait of Juan Fuca, geological knowledge and an abundance of good old fashioned sea tales. There is opportunity to view eagles, great blue herons, seals, dolphin and occasionally whales. On your return, you'll be treated to the dazzling sight of the City of Victoria all alight. No minimum number of passengers required to sail. Maximum number of passengers is 18. Schedule Notes The exact departure times will vary based on expected sunset time. When you submit your requested day, we'll message you and confirm the departure time (you'll have the opportunity to cancel if the time doesn't work for you for some reason).

Spectacular Sail Aboard the Thane (3 hrs.)
by 3 Hour SailIf you're looking for a truly unique nautical experience that blends a sense of yesteryear, a peek at delightful marine life and a cruise of the Strait of Juan Fuca, then a sail aboard the Thane is just what you desire. This tour gives you a genuine tall-ship sailing experience! The Captain and Mate of the Thane provide endless information about the waters they call home, and even offer you the opportunity to participate in the sailing the vessel. If you prefer, sit back and enjoy the fabulous scenery while keeping a look-out for marine life such as whales, sea lions, porpoises and an array of seafaring birds. Your destination will vary depending on tides and wind, but plan on sailing within the region of the historic Fisgard Lighthouse, the Naval harbour, Esquimalt Lagoon and up to Witty's Lagoon. You may travel out as far as the shipping lane and down to Clover Point and Trial Island. A fantastic choice for families (children love when the ship's cannon is fired) and also perfect for romantics! No minimum number of passengers required to sail. Maximum number of passengers is 18. Bring the family! All ages and abilities welcomed. The Thane often drags a fishing line and offers a bit of crabbing during your sail. The Thane is 55 feet overall, and was painstakingly crafted by its owner Len Pearson.

Regrets – we've seen a few…
July 30, 2013
It might seem obvious, but I'll say it anyway – we see A LOT of bad tattoos. From the sublime to the ridiculous, we've seen it all. It goes without saying that the majority of the tattoos we see are not works of art – when you're in the business of removing ink; you remove a lot of misspelt words, ex-partners names and Tasmanian devils.
Most people remember the best and worst they've seen – but just when you think you've seen it all, someone will always surprise you.
And it seems we are not alone…
Body art has been a fascination for decades. Whether you love it or loathe it, there is no denying that it is very much a part of the fabric of our society, and a talking point over many a cup of coffee.
So we were instantly intrigued when we stumbled upon this gallery whilst doing our regular internet trawl for tattoo stories. The photos are taken from a book by writer Aviva Yael – who was inspired to compile the collection after getting into a debate over the pros and cons of body art. She approached tattoo parlours all over the New York tri-state area, and put up web pages inviting people to share their most weird and wonderful body art, and the entries came flooding in.
The resulting compendium is quite an astounding collection of funny, strange, creepy and down-right ridiculous, and is aptly named 'NO REGRETS – The Best, Worst & Most £$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever'.
Of course, no collection can ever be exhaustive – new tattoos are created every minute – and it is this ever changing nature which makes the world of body modification so interesting. We literally never know what will come through our doors.
And for those who regret their decisions, we're here with the best equipment on the market, and the ability to remove almost anything – a statement that not many other providers can honestly make.
So if you've got some tattoos that you'd rather forget, call us. We promise, no matter what they are, we've seen worse.
