Single bottle, poured into a perfect pint, while listening to the leak of Lightning Bolt. 10/14
Pours light copper, light bottom to darker top. 1/4 inch white foam. Sits atop. Light fruity nose, must be the currants. Light malty flavor, good fruity back. Citrus in there. Really good, nicely balanced. Worked for me.

Bought 2 bottles of this. Had each time PJ last played in Philly. Had my last one last night as PJ played once again.
Think this beer is average at best and likely the reason DFH supposedly retired it. Pours gold in color with okay head and suspended particles throughout. Smells of currants but that's about it. Pretty tame otherwise. Tasted pretty bland and usual - not quite off-centered enough for DFH. Felt easily drinkable but was completely letdown by a commentarive beer for one of my favorite bands. Needs more character or spunk like the band.

3.79/5 rDev +12.1%
look: 3.25 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
We pour a brew of rosy, brownish pumpkin coloring. It holds a one and a half finger tall head of soapy white bubbles, showing okay retention. Speckled lacing is left around the glass as it goes. A chill haze cuts clarity, while thick bands of sediment are noticed all throughout the liquid. Carbonation appears to be active. The aroma gives heavily pale malts, reminiscent more of your standard American Pale Ale, with thin hints of golden Belgian malts, mildly clovey phenols, wet wheatiness, and metallic yeastiness. With warmth the grain calms down quite a bit, giving room for orange flesh, apricot, and red cherry fruitiness, honey and vanilla icing sweetness, with slight grassy hops to balance on the back. Booze mixes to add bitterness, while the black currant sits subtly in the background giving flashes of tartness. Our first impression is that the flavoring is much more interestingly tart than expecting, with less of that sweeter "fruit beer"-ness to challenge. As we sip, bittered and chalky Belgian pale malts, soft Belgian yeastiness, gravel, lemon zest and orange peel bitterness, and soured black currant and raspberry bite start things off. Enhancing bitterness pulls us to the peak, where spice of coriander and clovey phenols meet with more bittered orange peel, lemon rind, vanilla cream, and honey syrups, much like a mildly sweeter, more soured Wit. Marking the transition to the finish are those currants, giving the bulk of their tartness here. To balance is additional bitterness of pilsner grain, juicy yeast, browned apple sweetness, those aromatic grassy hops, lemon and orange citric fleshiness, more vanilla buttercreaminess, and a final wash of cheaper metallic pale grain. The aftertaste breathes citric fruitiness, grassy and lightly herbal hoppiness, mildly adjuncty pale grain, metallics, sweaty wheatiness, lemon ice pops, spicy booze, and light buttery warmth. The body is medium, and the carbonation is on the high side. Each sip gives soft and nicely contributory slurp and smack, with fresh cream and froth to the lip. The mouth is initially cooled and coated, but eventually pulled to a mildly astringent dryness and pucker along the lines of the hard palate. The abv is appropriate, and the beer drinks easily.
Overall, what we enjoyed most about this beer was the flavoring. The nose actually started out a bit cheap, with the grain taking on a pseudo-adjuncty feel. This thankfully faded with warmth, giving more genuine grain, fruit, and sweetness. With the inclusions of the black currants we were expecting a much more fruity beer, but instead were delivered something much more akin to a sour when it comes right down to it. This is not to say that this was a wild/sour, but the tartness of the fruit took us off guard. To note we are drinking a Batch 1, November 2011 bottling, so the sweetness has had time to settle, with the grain coming much further to the front. With warmth this beer gets better, remaining dynamic and something unique for the brewery.

2011 bottle:
Poured into 2 wine snifters (stemless) closest thing I could find at my dad`s house:
A: somewhat hazy golden yellow body with a finger`s worth of white foamy head that died within thirty seconds, some yeasty looking sediment floats around for a bit and then settles after about a minute, moderate yet foamy lacing clings and then spiderwebs and then slides after a good five minutes
S: spicy through the currants, becomes slightly sweet as it warms - slight apple perhaps
T: spicy yet sweet, becomes balanced between the two - more so as it warms
M: medium, somewhat sessionable, sharp carbonation but acceptable for the style
O: I say this is good for the style, and good for me

look: 3.75 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
750ml bottle into a Chimay Chalice/Goblet (about a year and a half old)
A: A quite cloudy golden brown with a light head.
S: Smells like a "standard" beer to me since I mainly drink stouts, barleywines and ipas. There is a slight sweet/tart smell. Mainly malt smells.
T: It goes down very easily and the taste is very mellow. I get very little fruit notes but they have probably died down by now.
M: Very smooth with very little carbonation in the mouth.
O: This would probably have been much better fresh; however, I don't know the style very well but it tastes decent. I bought this because it was a DFH brew that I hadn't had yet. I was surprised to find it. Today was a bad day for beer but this was probably the best of the night.

750ml bottle poured into a New Belgium globe. This bottle is about a year and a half old at the time of consumption.
A: Pours a hazy golden-orange. Bone white head settles very quickly. Lacing is small and spotty.
S: Very juicy on the nose with fruit forward aromas of currant and ripe raspberries. Undercurrent of musty and chalky yeast. Malt scents of shortbread, pie crust, and a slight hint of toast. Pineapple esters and a ghostly trace of alcohol.
T: Strong but even pull of currant throughout. Very mild balancing hop presence comes through with a subtle oily and herbal taste. Light clovey phenol spike. Gentle touch of peppery alcohol. Yeasty chalk and must far in the background. Malts are reminiscent of pie crust, shortbread, and toast. Short, forgettable finish of currant juice, pale malts, and a ghostly alcohol presence.
M: Medium-thick body. Somewhat firm and creamy, very smooth. Low carbonation. Light tickling alcohol warmth.
O: The nose is very fruit-forward and sweet, but thankfully Faithfull Ale shows more balance in taste. The Belgian aspects of it are very downplayed, as the yeast takes a passive role. Complexity suffers as a result, and it feels a little dumbed-down. A decent beer in the end, though Dogfish Head perhaps played this one a little more safely than they should have.

Like many others of you out there, Pearl Jam is my favorite all-time band. So naturally, when I saw this, I bought one for my tummy and one for my cellar. Purchased this from an "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town" in Florida. Lets hope this one isn't "Wasted" and it is "Alive" with flavor. I am enjoying this on my "Porch" on a cool winter day of 72F.
Pours clear and a very dark straw color, with tiny tiny hints of "Black" and tan "Corduroy" colors present in the head. The head "Yields" quickly and retreats into "Thin Air" on top of the beer. The beer is served into a Chimay goblet so bubbles race to the top and resemble "Bugs" scurrying for food.
The aroma is "Nothing as it Seems" because there is limited Belgian qualities to this one. Some coriander, definite yeast aromas, some alcohol, a malt liquor type aroma. The aroma is surely "Insignificant" in the realm of things, and I "Soon Forget" I am drinking a Belgian beer. Thin body and kind of sticky on the tongue.
"Sometimes" we build beers up to be bigger than they should be. Perhaps I have done that here. With all of the "Oceans" of other beers out there, this one did not make me "Smile", but instead proved my "Dissidence" is expected. I will keep one in the cellar and check the "Rearview Mirror" in a couple months to see if things have changed. Maybe my "Daughters" would like this one, but not me.

Poured out of the bottle in a Duvel Tulip Glass.
Appearance... Light orange/yellow color. Hazy. Pours with large thick bubbles which settle around the ends of the glass and linger for quite a bit of time. Light lacing on the glass.
Smell... Light Vanilla. Sweet
Taste... Light/Medium Sweetness. Light fruity aroma, although it's not pronounced enough to recognize easily. Those two aspects shine at the front end, but then fall flat a bit. There is light sweetness at the back end. Little or no bitterness here, so the hops are not really shining here.
Mouthfeel... good body. not too thin or thick, however, I wish there was a bit more going on here.
Overall... Dogfish has done PJ justice. Not sure how Currants (or beer) relate to Pearl Jam, but they certainly work well in the beer. It's easy and enjoyable to drink. Would make a great drink for a warm summer night.

Poured into a Due South Brewing Co. snifter. Bottleneck says Bottled in 2011 '03 1.
A- Pours a medium golden color with a ½ inch white head that bears little retention time before fading away to a thick ring around the edge of the glass and a small web of surface foam. Decent ring of lacing adheres to the glass.
S- Clean, white wine type of aroma with some sweetness and alcohol. Hardly any hops detected. Slightly effervescent.
T- Sweet white grape juice flavor with some mild yeast and spiciness. Alcohol's presence is subtle and complimentary. The currants give the flavor a green olive-like character but isn't incredibly noticeable. Very little malt and even less hops. Becomes less drinkable as it warms.
M- Light body, medium-low carbonation and has a slick feel. A bit sharp from the alcohol and wine-like characteristics.
O- Not that it's necessarily a bad beer, I'm just wondering when DFH is going to stop continuing to produce the same beer with a different label. It makes me want to do a side-by-side comparison of this, Midas Touch, Chateau Jiahu, Pangaea and Noble Rot to see what, if any, are the major differences between them because I hardly see any. Good thing I got this bottle practically for free.

Pours a golden orange with a frothy white head.
Smells of spicy fruit some slight banana & clove notes. Also a strong whiff of sweet bread.
Hits up front with currant then a bitter spice hop followed by zesty bread notes. This one is very complex and tasty lots of good flavor, but it doesn't quite come together the way in which my mouth would be pleased.

Served in a flute.
Appearance:: Slightly hazy light amber, medium bubbles on the body with.
Smell: Light lemon yeast, but fn light that makes you think where's the rest.
Taste: little sour, light yeast feels a little wheaty kind of like a hefeweizen meets pale ale.
Mouth: medium feels a little light.
Overall: not a bad brew but if your goal is to drink BSPAs this is one that might not fulfill your needs. I ain't knocking it but seriously we deserve better. Salud!

A 750 ML botle I picked up a year ago and has been sitting in my cabinet
A - Deep golden yello, no clarity. Nice 2 fingers of head and lace left all over the glass.
S - Smells delicous. Belgian candy yeast, apples, currants
T - Mild, not as tasty as the aroma would lead you into expecting. Not quite sweet/fruity enough.
M - Dry, light bodied, heavy carbonation.
O - After its appearance and aroma, I was expecting more. Not bad by any means, but dissapointing nonetheless.

750mL bottle. Split with my wife on 10-24-12
A: Clear gold with a fading white head. No legs.
N: Fruity and sweet. Currants and plenty of pilsner type malt. Some floral elements. White grape and green apple.
T: Very pilsner like again, but that's not what I'd expect from a Belgian golden. Yeasty. The currents and grape are somewhat distant. Biscuity. Really, this doesn't have enough of the fruit evident in the nose.
M: Very light, but very sharply carbonated. Alcohol is well-hidden.
O: It's decent and worth a try if you have someone to split it with, but it would have benefited from more body and more currant.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle into a tumbler pint glass.
A: Poured a hazy, golden yellow color beneath a thing, tight head of thin, white carbonation that left a bit of lace on the glass.
S: Fruity and floral, with hints of licorice and blackberries. A mellow, spicy hop aroma highlights the delicate, sugary nose.
T: There's an initial wave of raspberry and blackberry flavors that rush the tongue and dry out quickly with confectioner sugary sweetness. This segues into a more traditional, spicy, peppery and minty effervescence with floral and tropical fruity flavors of a traditional Belgian pale. The finish is dry, buttery and crackery malts with a mild, spicy, herbal hop resin and sugary booze flavor that wipes away with a mellow finish.
M: Medium-bodied ale with a slight chew from yeast and malt sediment, dry, crackery and sugary malts with a slightly spicy and alcohol-tinged finish.
O: The currants are downplayed a bit, aside from the initial fruitiness of the brew. This 7% ABV specialty, fruit and music inspired Belgian pale ale has appeal at a base level, and does not disappoint there. However, the grand scheme of things is not entirely interesting or monumental. It's a good ale, but not one I'm clamoring to put back in production.

I bought this around a year ago if I had to guess, it was in a dark stable temperatured cabinite for about 8 months and in my fridge for about 3, not ideal, I know.
A - Pours a very light golden/yellow with lots of stations sediment throughout the drink once the carbonation relaxes. Poured a large 2 inch near white head that had ok retention, lacing is ok. Looks a little thin.
S - Some sweet fruity apple and yeasty flavors, sweet caramel malts are obvious as well as a biscuity quality. A little weak.
T - There are the currants, pretty sweet overall and just like it smells. Yeastyness is minimal, maybe a little at the finish. Sweet biscuit malts and sweet apples/currant, maybe slightly grassy.
M - Much thicker than anticipated, medium bodied, at first it appeared extremely carbonated but now has minimal carbonation, this is a good thing in my opinion.
O - For what it is its pretty nicely done. I would like to try a fresh batch but this has no sign of aging too long, maybe I would have picked up on some bitterness had it been consumed months ago but the sweet malty and fruit flavors seem to be where they should be.

On-tap at Beachwood II,
A: Pours a relatively clear straw yellow to goldenrod, with a light white head leaving some lace.
S: Bready malt, some yeasty notes, apple with a hint of currants.
T: Malt and yellow apples. The currants are noticable adding a hint of jam, but the overall flavour is dominated by the yeast and malt character.
M: Medium-bodied, crisp, a little too powerful carbonation. Off-dry.
O: I was a tad disappointed in this. I really wanted the currants to play a lot more of a part in the overall character of the beer. I got an OK pale ale with a bit of astringent fruit.

750 ml bottle purchased while in Boston a while back, poured into my Perfect Pint.
Appearance: Very tight half finger thick head atop a slightly hazy straw. Loads of bubbles streaming from the bottom. Little lacing.
Smell: Fruit in the nose but not as strong as I was expecting, which may be good. A light yeast note adds to the bisquity malts.
Taste: I am glad the currants do not extend too far out, this beer is very balanced. The slight fruity sweetness is the first part of the taste. Imagine how the Belgian phenols smell, that fills in the rest of the taste, subtly. Very little bitterness or sour, but a tiny bit of tart. This one grows on me.
Mouthfeel: One of the smoothest beers I have ever had. The body is middle to heavy, with a lower carbonation. I am not sure how brewers control mouthfeel, but Dogfish Head nailed it with this one.
Overall: I am glad to have tried this beer, I really enjoy Pearl Jam's music. I was not bowled over by this beer, but it is well made. I cannot imagine a random person just picking this one up in the beer store, so newbs need not be warned of anything.

Full disclosure - I am a huge Pearl Jam fan. Big thanks to my mom for getting me a bottle of this as a present on my 29th birthday! Best mom ever. I brought the bottle to dinner to celebrate getting engaged and shared it with the best man at my upcoming wedding, also a lifelong PJ fan.
Poured into a wine glass, its color was straw yellow. Mostly clear with a slight haze and a small white head. Above average carbonation. Aroma consisted of bread and yeast with subtle fruits from the currants and a touch of alcohol. Flavor was slightly sweet but not overpowering. Lightly hopped. Would be more refreshing if the alcohol wasn't as present, but the carbonation makes it easier to drink.
I tried this beer on tap several months before and was really disappointed. Something seemed off about it so I held off on reviewing it until I could try the bottled version. Overall, not a bad beer and something different than your usual strong pale ale. If they knocked the alcohol down a bit, I think it would benefit the beer. I probably wouldn't get it again but I am glad I got a chance to try it.
Here's to 20 more incredible years of Pearl Jam! Cheers.

Clear golden, small white head, that doesn't leave much behind in the way of stick. This appears rather ordinary.
Bread, yeast, and very mild, interesting funk are present, along with the sweet, juicy aroma of black currants. Mild overall, but pleasant.
The flavor is quite nice, and the fruit is able to shine through, as there is hardly much bitterness to get in the way. There's also some grass and bread and a very mild, farmhouse funk.
Medium bodied with high carbonation. Crisp and drinkable.
Much better than I was anticipating.

I'm a little nervous given some of the reviews, but I might as well crank some Pearl Jam and enjoy...
A - A finger's worth of fluffy creamy delicate off-white colored head to start... Limited retention gives way to a full mostly thin veil of lacing with a dollop of froth in the center of the glass... The color is a pale amber... A slight haziness... Loaded with carbonation to start before becoming fairly still with only a slight cyclone of micro-bubbles int he center of the glass... Not a bad looking brew by any means...
S - Interesting aroma... A variety of smells dominate... Candied sugars... Black currants... A slight booziness reminiscent of cheap Irish whiskey... A faint Belgian yeast component... While the individual parts may not seem appealing, the odd mix makes for a unique and interesting and fairly appealing aroma...
T - Everything alluded to by the aroma is present, but becomes much more muddled... The Belgian yeast takes on a more dominant presence... The candied sugars and cheap whiskey are present... The black currants take a distant back seat... There is also a faint medicinal presence above and beyond the cheap booze presence...
M - Medium bodied... Lightly carbonation... A bit sticky... Surprisingly dense... Coats the mouth evenly and fully...
D - Not a bad brew by any means... I'm actually a bit surprised by composite low score this one has received to date... Not something I would drink with regularity, but a nice take on style by DFH... Perhaps kicking back with any brew and a little PJ in the background will make anything taste better, but then again isn't that the ponit of this beer???

A clear golden ale with a thin head but decent lacing. Smell is light malt and bread with a bit of fusel alcohol. A bit of fruitiness as well, apples and grapes mostly. Taste is much the same with a mild hoppiness. A nice honeyed overall malt base with some bread and sweet rolls. Alcohol in the finish is a bit hot though the sweetness is nice, a warming swallow. Very mild hop bitterness. Feel is medium light with a crispness when cold that settles into a fuller creaminess as it warms and the carbonation becomes more expansive. A nice beer overall though not a world shaker. The price makes it a bit of a disappointment but not a big one. I just wish the alcohol presence was a bit more subdued making for a more drinkable and better overall beer imo

Top 30 April Concerts
Chicago's concert season is starting to heat up, even if the weather isn't quite ready to follow suit. This April, the city expects visits from promising up-and-comers (Rhye, Joey Bada$$), still-vital vets (Bad Religion, Dr. John), and one menacing rocker, Nick Cave, who will be accompanied by some seriously Bad Seeds. Here are the 30 shows you shouldn't miss. --Andy Downing, for RedEye

A solemn Kim Jong Un joined top political, government and military officials Sunday in a national memorial service at the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium on the eve of the anniversary of Kim Jong Il's death.
The Associated Press was among a handful of foreign and local journalists allowed to cover the closed meeting, which marked the start of events marking Kim's death. Armed soldiers ringed the streets outside.
Kim Jong Il died on Dec. 17, 2011. North Korea sent a long-range rocket into space in his honor Wednesday, defying international warnings that the launch would be considered a banned missile test.

Talking Head
David Byrne tells us How Music Works
Published: September 26, 2012
David Byrne has always been something of a musical visionary, from his days in the Talking Heads up to his recent collaboration with singer/songwriter St. Vincent. His new book, How Music Works (McSweeney's, hardcover), proves that he is also a hell of a thinker and writer. This isn't your standard memoir of a rock star—though there is a little of that—nor is it a technical manual—though there is some of that too. Rather, the book is precisely what it promises to be: a serious exploration of how music works and what it means in the context of human life.
"I had an extremely slow-dawning insight about creation. That insight is that context largely determines what is written, painted, sculpted, sung or performed," Byrne writes in the opening sentences of the first chapter. He begins by examining the rock 'n' roll club, specifically CBGB, where the Talking Heads and so many early punk and post-punk bands started, comparing it with Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, the legendary Nashville incubator for the 1960s country scene. They are, he writes, very similar spaces. They serve the same social function, and the music created there was relatively similar in structure. African drumming was created for the outdoor environment where it was performed, and organ music was designed for the cathedrals in which people came to hear it. "We don't make music," Byrne writes. "It makes us. Which is maybe the point of this whole book."
He makes that point again and again in surprising ways, sometimes drawing from his own career. (Locals will appreciate a few nice scenes from Byrne's early musical life in Baltimore—his family moved to Arbutus when he was nine, and he went to MICA during the early 1970s.) Byrne touches on everything from how he chose his onstage apparel when he was in the Talking Heads—he was influenced by a form of classical Japanese musical theater called Noh—to how he wrote, recorded, toured, and sold music. Anecdotes, dense ruminations on contractual arrangements and the history of recording, and philosophical musings about authenticity and authorship all seamlessly blend.
All pretty heady stuff, but How Music Works could also function as a field guide for anyone who wants to succeed in music. In certain practical sections, Byrne runs through the various kinds of contracts artists may sign for promotion and distribution, analyzing the pros and cons of each model, and offers useful tips on recording, songwriting, and collaboration.
The section "How to Make a Scene" is one of the best in the book not only because it describes the Talking Heads' early days at CBGB—a period recently documented exhaustively by Will Hermes in Love Goes To Buildings on Fire (Books, Dec. 7, 2011)—but also because, in laying out what he sees as essential to any scene, Byrne offers a useful tool for examining a city's music scene.
Some of the points are obvious: "There Must Be a Venue that Is the Appropriate Size and Location in which to Present New Material," and "Artists Should Be Allowed to Play Their Own Material," but others are surprising. For instance, Byrne's third requirement, "Performing Musicians Must Get in Free on Their Off Nights (and Maybe Get Free Beer Too)" is something many a venue owner could learn from. (This performing musician would benefit greatly from the free-beer clause.) In "There Must Be a Sense of Alienation from the Prevailing Music Scene," Byrne lays out the ways that different bands in New York in the late 1970s were alienated from the prevailing scene, thus creating the wide variety of sounds that emerged.
Byrne argues that "Rent Must Be Low—and It Must Stay Low," in order for there to be a viable scene, because low rents allow musicians to remain alienated from the prevailing popular music. It has allowed, one could argue, for Baltimore Club, Wham City, bands like Beach House and Wye Oak, eccentric rappers like Labtekwon, and all of the wildly divergent and experimental forms of rock 'n' roll and out music that have proliferated here in recent years. Cheap rent also allows for the amateurism that Byrne finds essential. "Show someone three chords on the guitar, show them how to program beats, how to play a keyboard, and if you don't expect virtuosity right away, you might get something moving and affecting. You as a listener, or as a creator, might be touched in a way that is every bit as deep as you would be by something that demands a more complicated skill set."
Byrne may have approached the book from a similar amateurish perspective. It came about after he faxed McSweeney's editor Dave Eggers his tour journals "[f]or his amusement," but the result is as moving and thought-provoking as a book on music is likely to be.

Experience the journey of the cancer survivors
On April 6, 14 Iowa cancer survivors boarded a plane in Des Moines headed across the world to Nepal. The group, led by Dr. Richard Deming, medical director of Mercy Cancer Center, Des Moines, IA, spent nearly three weeks trekking the Himalayan Mountains before reaching Mt. Everest Base Camp at 17,590 feet above sea level. Charlie Wittmack, Des Moines attorney and adventurer met up with the group at Everest Base Camp on April 18 as a part of his most recent adventure, the year-long World Tri, sponsored by Mercy Medical Center. The World Tri is a 10,000-mile triathlon stretching from London to the summit of Mount Everest.
"Climbing a mountain is a metaphor that many cancer survivors use to describe their cancer experience," Dr. Deming said. "Only cancer survivors themselves can articulate the overwhelming sense of accomplishment they feel when they succeed in reaching the 'summit' of their cancer journey. But what every survivor will tell you is that, during the ascent, his or her perspective on life is forever changed," he added.
The participating survivors represent at least six types of cancer including brain, breast, prostate, Leukemia, Hodgkin's Disease and Sarcoma, and range in age from 27 to 65. The group spent a great deal of time together before the trip for physical conditioning, team building and fellowship.
For a detailed account of their adventures, visit The World Tri website. Postings include special videos, breathtaking photography and a blog of their experiences and observations.

St. Joseph's kicked off the holiday season on Sunday, December 2, 2012, with a festive afternoon of Christmas cheer at our Annual Christmas Concert. Presented by Staples Advantage, the Christmas Concert was held for the first time at William Paterson University's Shea Center. More than 400 guests were serenaded with holiday favorites by the Newark Boys Chorus followed by a performance from the Baroque Orchestra of New Jersey led by conductor Dr. Robert Butts. Children from the audience were invited to join the orchestra on stage for an enthusiastic rendition of "Toy Symphony."
Prior to the concert, 150 guests including leadership, volunteers, donors and their families joined together for a private Pre-Reception Brunch at the University's Ballroom in recognition of their commitment to St. Joseph's over the past year. With Santa Claus and his helpers, face-painting and crafts, the brunch was a fun-filled afternoon for families and a wonderful way to start the Christmas season.

Johnson, Gibson look solid
Posted by rsanrel on 7th October 2009
It would be foolish to read too much from the first couple of preseason games, but right now it's look as if rookies James Johnson and Taj Gibson will be key contributors off the bench from the start of the season.
Gibson followed up his splendid debut last week against the Indiana Pacers with another solid effort in the Bulls' thrilling 102-101 victory over the Utah Jazz Tuesday in London. Johnson also had a good game and gave the Bulls the win with a buzzer-beating short jumper.
Both rookies are active and athletic and will give the Bulls improved front-court depth. With Johnson and Gibson playing well, Tyrus Thomas better produce or else he could find himself losing playing time.

American Studies
The American Studies major provides students with a multi-disciplinary and multicultural approach to the American experience. Through course work in literature, history, politics, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and media, the major provides students with the tools to understand and address many of the pressing issues facing American society in a global, highly interconnected world. It also requires students to create a five-course concentration in an external field.
The American Studies major prepares graduates for a variety of careers by developing critical skills for the contemporary workplace. It requires students to develop research, computer, and communications skills as well as an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving. Students majoring in other fields may elect to take American Studies as a second major. Whatever their career goals, American Studies graduates will have the background and skills necessary to be effective and socially responsible professionals.
External field
A required external field of five or more courses prepares students for future careers.
Chosen from one of Clarkson's many programs and departments, external fields may be in such defined pre-professional areas as pre-medicine, pre-law, pre-business, pre-physical therapy, psychology, or computer science; alternately, students may create their own external field, tailored to their specific career interests.

What to Grow in Your Hot Tub Planters
Tips for Backyard Color From Now Through SpringtimeFall is a favorite time of year to be outdoors as well as a good season for planting. Plants no longer have to endure the heat and dry weather of summer, and the planters around your spa don't require as much work as a yard or garden. Just be sure your hot tub planters drain well before your add soil. To create a welcome splash of color and drama in the spring, plant bulbs this fall. There can be a variety of bulbs in one container that will produce blooms at different times, all season long. You can also stagger bulbs in layers for a spring planter "arrangement" of flowers growing at differing heights. For instant color, try these favorites in your hot tub planters: • Coleus – So easy to grow, the purple-to-rust leaves of the coleus reflect the best of fall color and complement the natural shades of your Sundance® planters. • Pyracantha – Their lovely red, orange or yellow berries will last a long time. You can also train pyracantha to grow on trellises near your spa (watch out for the thorns). • Evergreens – Boxwood, juniper, wintergreen, and holly bring a welcome touch of green to your hot tub scene year round. These slow-growing shrubs are perfect for containers. They tolerate cold and snow, and can grow to dramatic heights. Or use multiple planters to create a "wall" of greenery for your hot tub. With these brisk days and chilly nights, you'll be drawn to the warmth of your hot tub. Make your hot tub setting even more beautiful with seasonal color, and your Sundance will also be visually inviting, all winter long. Submit your Sundance hot tub photos to email@example.com

3 Outdoor Hot Tub Trends for 2012
What to Look for This Season"Outdoor Living" was listed in the #2 spot among "Top Home Trends of 2012" on the website, GoodHousekeeping.com. Outdoor hot tubs are definitely a popular addition for homeowners who like to spend time outdoors year 'round. This year, we're spreading the word about three "trends" we're bringing to outdoor hot tubs:
Outdoor hot tubs attract friends and family who love to have a good time together, but they are also natural havens for individuals seeking relief from stress. The 780™ Series spas are great examples: they are sized right, easy to take care of, and beautifully styled. Instead of going out, people who own a Sundance® 780 Series outdoor hot tub make the most of their backyards on the weekends. Relaxing with a cool drink, stretching after exercise, or just sitting together and talking in the warmth of the hot tub – a modern outdoor hot tub can be a social spot and a source of well being.

Summer Hot Tub Accessories
Spruce Up with Spa AccessoriesReady, set, SUMMER! It will be here soon. I'm looking forward to the long days of sunshine, weekend barbeques, and concerts in the park. It's time to dust off the patio furniture (or take it out of the garage), clean the grill, and add some new hot tub accessories. Hot tub covers are important hot tub accessories for summer. Vinyl hot tub covers are very durable, meant to withstand the elements, but they need to be replaced every few years. This time of year, it's important to make sure yours is not sagging or cracking. Your hot tub cover protects your hot tub, keeps the water cleaner and helps to hold in the heat. It's one of the spa accessories that can increase your hot tub's overall energy efficiency.

No. 116: Florida Atlantic
By Paul Myerberg // Apr 23, 2012
Recent Sun Belt coaching moves have gone in the opposite direction. Over the last two years, Arkansas State has hired Hugh Freeze and Gus Malzahn. In 2010, Western Kentucky hired former Stanford running backs coach Willie Taggart. Louisiana-Lafayette tabbed Mark Hudspeth last winter; Louisiana-Monroe hired Todd Berry prior to the 2010 season. The conference as a whole has shifted towards an offense-first mentality, to often exciting, he-who-has-the-ball-last-wins results. When Howard Schnellenberger announced his intent to retire at the end of last season, the belief was that Florida Atlantic would follow the rest of the Sun Belt's lead, perhaps nabbing a Freeze-like up-and-coming assistant. The Owls did nothing of the sort. In Carl Pelini, the university hired the sort of nail-chewing, fire-spewing defensive coach who thinks of offense the same way defensive linemen think of their offensive counterparts: with disdain. And in Pelini, the Owls might have hired the orneriest son-of-a-gun in college football. Don't think for a second that being ornery is a bad thing.

Last year's prediction
Here's the big story in 2011: while the rest of the Sun Belt, by and large, is improving, F.A.U. is either treading water or moving backwards. It really depends on your point of view, and your answer should dictate how you feel about the program's immediate future. If you do think that F.A.U. needs a jolt, both on the sidelines and on the recruiting trail, a changing of the guard sounds appealing; if you think this quick slide towards the bottom of the Sun Belt is merely a speed bump, not a trend, then you likely think that F.A.U. could return to bowl play in 2012 with the coaching staff intact. That's really not the point: the point is that regardless of the program's future, this year will be a struggle — thanks to some youth, a lack of depth and inexperience at some very key positions.
2011 recap
In a nutshell An offense this terrible shouldn't exist in Florida, where even an underdog like F.A.U. should be able to bring enough speed and athleticism to avoid scoring, say, 155 points over 12 games. Overall, only New Mexico averaged fewer points per game than F.A.U., which was shutout three times, scored only a field goal once and only a touchdown twice. The Owls scored 19 touchdowns as a team, one of which came via an interception return. F.A.U. would win once, beating lowly U.A.B., but only once lost by less than 14 points. Only three losses came by less than 17 points. The three other Sun Belt teams that won three games or less during conference play – Louisiana-Monroe, Troy and Middle Tennessee State – beat the Owls by a combined score of 98-21. When you're the worst team in the Sun Belt by leaps and bounds, well, you've had a pretty bad season.
High point The one win. No titans here, just winless F.A.U. against playing-out-the-string U.A.B., but a win is a win. The Owls were very close to being the only winless team in the F.B.S. last fall.
Low point F.A.U. lost to Auburn by 16 points on Sept. 24. Seven of its eight Sun Belt losses would come by 17 or more points. So pick and choose as you'd like, but don't sleep on the one that got away: F.A.U. lost to Louisiana-Lafayette, 37-34, on a last-second field goal.
Tidbit F.A.U. scored 155 points on the season, as noted, for an average of 12.9 points per game. That ranked the Owls 119th nationally, ahead of only New Mexico. Nearly half of the team's scoring total came in two games: F.A.U. combined for 72 points against U.A.B. and the Ragin' Cajuns. Against the 10 remaining teams on their schedule, the Owls averaged 8.3 points per game.
Tidbit (total yardage edition) More on this offense. The Owls finished last nationally in averaging 248.8 yards per game. The Owls were the only team to gain less than 3,000 yards on the season – 2,985 yards, to be exact, 53 yards behind 119th-ranked Kent State. To match the total yardage total gained by Houston, which led the nation with 8,387 yards of offense, last year's team would have needed to play nearly 34 games.
Tidbit (first-time coaches edition) Six of the 10 teams in the Sun Belt are led by a first-team head coach – a coach who had not held a college head coaching position prior to his current stop. The five are Pelini, Malzahn, Florida International's Mario Cristobal, Middle Tennessee State's Rick Stockstill, Troy's Larry Blakeney and Western Kentucky's Willie Taggart. The four exceptions are Louisiana-Lafayette's Mark Hudspeth, who was formerly the head coach at North Alabama; Louisiana-Monroe's Todd Berry, formerly of Illinois State and Army; North Texas' Dan McCarney, who remains the finest coach in Iowa State's history; and South Alabama's Joey Jones, the new guy, who was the head coach at Birmingham Southern, a Division III school, from 2006-7.

Carl Pelini (Youngstown State '89), entering his first season. After four seasons on his brother's staff at Nebraska, Pelini was tabbed to be the second coach in Florida Atlantic's short history. He has a tough road to follow: Howard Schnellenberger might not have been able to recapture his past glory as the Owls' head coach, but his imprint is on every nook and cranny of the program Pelini inherits. Unfortunately, Schnellenberger didn't exactly leave Pelini with a roster primed for Sun Belt contention. From here, Pelini will need to rely heavily on the experience he gained under his three coaching mentors: Bill Snyder, Frank Solich and his brother, Bo. After graduating from Youngstown State in 1989, Pelini spent three seasons as a graduate assistant and restricted-earnings assistant under Snyder at Kansas State – and believe me, the situation Snyder inherited in Manhattan in 1989 makes F.A.U. look like Alabama in comparison. After leaving Snyder and Kansas State, Pelini spent a decade on the high school ranks in Kansas and Ohio, spending the last three years, from 2000-2, at Austintown Fitch High School in Austintown, Oh. His first break came in 2003, when Solich hired his brother as Nebraska's defensive coordinator; Bo, being the way he is, brought Carl along as a graduate assistant. Pelini's first full-time college assistant job came at Ohio in 2005, when Solich hired him to coach the defensive line. In 2008, his brother, recently named the head coach at Nebraska, hired Pelini as his defensive coordinator. Four years later, Pelini was F.A.U.-bound. Clearly, Pelini's tie with his brother put his career into orbit. Even with Pelini in the Sun Belt, it's hard to consider one without the other. Bo and Carl. Carl and Bo. They share more than just parents: Carl, like Bo, is a fiery, determined, disciplined, defense-first coach who will demand accountability. Anything less than 100 effort simply won't be tolerated.
Tidbit (coaching edition) The most important member of Pelini's new staff is offensive coordinator Brian Wright, who will face the daunting task of turning a historically bad offense into one that can hang with the rest of the Sun Belt. Formerly of Montana State, Wright will implement an up-tempo offense that will have the Owls rushing in and out of the huddle, which will mark a distinct change from the program's recent past. Pelini's first choice as defensive coordinator was former North Carolina and Nebraska assistant Marvin Sanders, but Sanders took the defensive backs position at U.S.C. on Feb. 12. As his replacement, Pelini hired former Miami (Ohio) defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis. The only holdover from Schnellenberger's staff is tight ends coach Jared Allen, last season's quarterbacks coach.
Players to watch
When running at full capacity, Wright's offense will flow primarily through the quarterback position. This will be the case when F.A.U. recruits a quarterback capable of shouldering the load; for now, with a JUCO transfer on the way, the offense will shift towards the running game. Basically, what you see offensively in 2012 should not resemble what you will see in 2013 and beyond. Wright's offense will be far more plodding and pedestrian, far less explosive and dynamic, while the pieces are put into place over the next 12 months. He deserves, and will get, at least a one-year pass.
The concern over quarterback play is tempered somewhat by strong depth at running back, though the Owls must replace Alfred Morris, last year's leading rusher – not to mention the Owls' only offensive player of consequence. The new offense will shift away from Morris-like runners, however, leaning more towards smaller, shiftier, big-play options rather than more bruising, move-the-chains backs. That seems to diminish the role converted fullback Xavier Stinson should hold on an every-down basis, though Stinson will be a valuable weapon in short-yardage situations. Junior Jonathan Wallace was the star of the spring, impressing the new staff with his quickness and power, which should leave him in the mix for carries. It's likely that the emphasis on the running game will have F.A.U. leaning on several backs, so look for Wallace, Stinson, Damian Fortner and JUCO transfer Martese Jackson to work by committee.
This is a receiver corps largely devoid of big-play ability. Add this fact to the troubling quarterback situation and you begin to understand why this offense will hit a steep learning curve in its first season in Wright's system. The team's most experienced receiver, senior DeAndre Richardson (32 catches for 269 yards last fall), suffered an ankle injury in early April, though he should back in time for camp in August. Senior Paul Moore, the projected starter in the slot, also missed a portion of the spring due to injury. While injuries happen during the spring, F.A.U. really can't afford to dig too deep down the depth chart at the position; there's little proven production altogether, and even less as you work your way down the roster.
When the season does begin, look for Richardson, Moore and sophomores William Dukes, Marcus Cunningham (18 receptions for 257 yards) and Derek Moise (10 for 119) to factor prominently in the passing game. The tight end will also figure into the mix on the intermediate level, which should mean more looks for junior Nexon Dorvilus (21 for 238) and sophomore Alex DeLeon; after a nice sophomore year, Dorvilus is an all-conference candidate. The biggest issue: Even if F.A.U. had a standout receiver corps, there's no quarterback currently on the roster capable of delivering the football with consistency. Then again, this is a thin, untested and rather ordinary receiver corps.
Senior Troy Niblack was moved to the defensive line after starting spring ball as the starting left tackle, which likely means that sophomore DeAndre Williams will protect the blind side come September. Left tackle is one of two spots where F.A.U. must replace a starter lost to graduation, joining right guard. What we know: the Owls will head into the fall with Andy Czuprynski at left guard and Joe Bailey at right tackle. What we think we know: Jimmie Colley will start at center. It'll be either Colley, a two-year starter, or junior Jordan Sessa, who started two games in Colley's stead last fall. F.A.U. has options at right guard, like Erik Hansen, Ricaldo Henry and Mike Marsaille. Here's hoping the Owls find a spot for former Minnesota transfer Johnathan Ragoo: at 6'8, 400 pounds, Ragoo can block out the sun, if not opposing defensive linemen.
There will be night-and-day changes on defense, alterations that go beyond the move from the 3-4 to a 4-3 base set. This defense won't be reactive, but rather aggressively proactive – the defense will bring the heat to the opposition, not vice versa. While playing out of a 4-3, look for Pelini to treat this defense the same way he and his brother treated the defense at Nebraska: there will be a base set, but looks and formations will change on almost a down-by-down basis in an attempt to confuse and delay opposing offenses. When Pelini's system is in place, the Owls' defense will be the only one of its kind in the Sun Belt. When he has his pieces, Pelini will put together the league's best defense.
That time lies in the future; in 2012, F.A.U. won't have the best defense in the Sun Belt. But the Owls will certainly be more aggressive, from the most basic steps – tackling as a group – to big-picture themes like getting pressure on the quarterback and forcing turnovers. In my mind, being active in the backfield will be very hard for this new-look front seven to achieve from day one. The lack of pure edge rushers is one reason behind Pelini's decision to move outside linebacker Cory Henry (39 tackles, 6.5 for loss) down to end, where he stands as the Owls' best hope of bringing consistent pressure on the quarterback. Cory Henry, Robinson Eugene, Joe Henry and Nicardo Henry – Henry, Henry and yes, Henry – are the options at end. Don't forget your program.
The starting lineup at tackle is set: Jimmie Jean (28 tackles, 2.5 for loss) and David Baptiste (23 tackles). An end in the 3-4 look, Baptiste will move inside despite his lack of prototypical size – at about 260 pounds, he doesn't seem big enough to stand up on clear running downs. If Baptiste falters on first and second down, the Owls could shift Nicardo Henry inside; at about 290 pounds, he has hole-clogging size. Outside of Jean and Henry, F.A.U. doesn't have many big-boned interior linemen. Either Baptiste needs to get low, or younger tackles like Andrew Stryffeler and Matt Chaney need to be ready to take significant snaps. Again, moving Nicardo Henry into the interior rotation makes sense.
You won't see too much movement at linebacker. Cory Henry's move down to end leaves the spot open for junior Martin Wright (34 tackles), who started three of the last four games on the weak side in 2011. Last year's leading tackler, David Hinds (101 tackles), returns in the middle. You feel a bit for Hinds, who is now on the third defensive coordinator of his career; however, as a battle-tested senior, the Owls will need his experience, leadership and production in 2012. He and junior strong side linebacker Randell Johnson (92 tackles, 14.5 for loss, team-best 5 sacks) form one of the top one-two linebacker combinations in the Sun Belt. Both should be excited to play in Pelini's system, even if Hinds only gets one year under the new head coach before exhausting his eligibility. The Owls must also find a spot for sophomore Andrae Kirk (89 tackles), who is too promising to keep off the field. Could Johnson move over to the weak side, where he could put his ability to get to the quarterback to good use, and cede strong side duties to Kirk?
No group will be impacted more greatly by Pelini's hire than the secondary. Forget all that you saw from the F.A.U. defensive backs last fall: everything will change, even if the results are slow to catch up. As with the defense as a whole, the secondary will be aggressive, both in terms of playing receivers' routes and in certain blitz schemes. Whether Pelini and Rekstis feel comfortable bringing defensive backs into blitz packages hinges primarily on the play of cornerbacks like Keith Reaser, Treon Howard and D.J. Frye-Smith; if this trio – the leaders at the position during the spring – show an ability to cover Sun Belt receivers one-on-one, that will allow the defense to bring pressure from safeties Brentley Harstad and Demetrius Williamson.
The only starter that must be replaced off of last year's secondary is free safety Marcus Bartels, who tied Howard and Reaser for the team lead with two interceptions. Williamson moves over from strong safety to fill Bartels' shoes, while Harstad, last year's nickel back, moves in for Williamson. That's as of today: things might change by September, when the Owls add three JUCO transfers into the mix. While the trio – Tony Grimes, Adrian Burton and Jeremy McKnight – will likely start at cornerback, their arrival might have a domino effect throughout the secondary.
Position battle(s) to watch
Quarterback Start with the number seven, which is how many quarterbacks Wright and Pelini have at their disposal. Cut the number down to five, eliminating true freshmen Grant Flessner and Colton Kane. You can even go down to three; it doesn't seem as if senior David Kool – a one-game starter last fall – or sophomore Nick Bracewell is being strongly considered for the starting role. And then there were three: senior Graham Wilbert, sophomore Stephen Curtis and JUCO transfer Melvin German III. With German a summer arrival, Wilbert and Curtis went toe-to-toe for the starting job during the spring.
And neither impressed. Wilbert, the incumbent, might be farther ahead than Curtis with grasping the nuts and bolts of the offense, but his inability to throw the ball with consistency should eventually make him a reserve, not the starter. Wilbert threw for 132.6 yards per game over his 11 starts last fall, completing 52.4 percent of his attempts with more than twice as many interceptions, 15, as touchdowns, 7. While the coaching staff has said that it will tailor the system to fit its personnel in 2012, it's hard to see this offense taking a step forward with Wilbert serving as the starter. Unfortunately, neither is Curtis the sort of passer Wright's looking for; while he has the higher ceiling of the pair, Curtis' time as the Owls' starter might lie another year or two down the road. For now, the duo should be viewed as co-starters. But that should change in August: German, a dual-threat quarterback out of Mississippi, is viewed as a recruit who could step right in and start in the Sun Belt. If German's not all he's cracked up to be, F.A.U. is in some serious trouble at quarterback.
Game(s) to watch
The Owls need to make a move early, because the conference schedule takes a tough turn near the end of October and through November. But it starts smooth, with Middle Tennessee State, North Texas, Louisiana-Monroe and South Alabama. If the Owls can take three of four – or four of four, maybe – and get by Wagner in the season opener, a bowl berth is within striking distance down the stretch.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell The worst issue that Pelini inherits is this team's inexplicable malaise. What reason in the world does the returning roster have for not hitting the field with unbridled enthusiasm, especially with nearly every single spot on the depth chart open to competition? That Pelini has complained at times of his team's lackluster energy doesn't reflect poorly on the new coaching staff; it reflects very poorly on the players, however. A good idea, free of charge: pick up the pace. Not merely because Pelini's patience only runs so far, but because F.A.U. will suffer another double-digit loss season if it doesn't hit the ground running in September. If the Owls are 1-6 after South Alabama, with the lone win coming over Wagner, this team will again go 1-11. If F.A.U. can return to the practice field in August with some tenacity and a sense of urgency, it's possible that the Owls could win four games — which, given this roster, would be pretty good. That's the best-case scenario: F.A.U. plays with a chip on its shoulder, starts playing defense in the Pelini mold and offsets a dreadful quarterback situation with a powerful running game. If that happens, the Owls could be a nice story. It's more likely that F.A.U., dealing with a new voice for the first time — the voice after The Voice — painfully strolls through a rebuilding season.
Dream season Wright's offense does just enough to get by, but the Owls' burst back into bowl play comes on the back of a hard-nosed, physical defense. F.A.U. suffers a late slide, losing three of four to end the season, but wins six games for the first time since 2008.
Nightmare season F.A.U. beats Wagner, which is good, but doesn't win again the rest of the way. As in 2011, the Owls go 1-11, 0-8 in Sun Belt play.
In case you were wondering
Where do Florida Atlantic fans congregate? Florida Atlantic might be a young program, but fans have two great independent options to choose from in The Owl's Nest and F.A.U. Owl Access, each of which alternates between football coverage in the fall and baseball chatter in the spring. More recruiting-focused coverage can be found at Owls Burrow. Of course, any discussion of the best places to find Florida Atlantic football coverage must include Ted Hutton's F.A.U. blog on the Web site of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

UNLV is next.
it was very interesting to watch UNLV develop a decent rush attack in 2010-11. They've done that, but still have the same problem as before– half an offense, and zero defense. THey're the pre-2011 Baylor of the non-BCS.
Looks as if you we're wrong about the QBs at fau. Wilbert took it and ran, Bracewell was right there and Curtis is a bust and has been with tight ends for weeks. German is just plan dumb and will never make grades and if he does there should be an investigation, not to mention he is not the player that anyone thought he was. MGIII has been put to rest!

The best way to go about that is be you. Not in your words but in your actions because after all Allah will and does exist with or without anyone believing. And remember Allah says he will guide whom he pleases and leave astray whom he pleases. All power is with him alone. Maybe call on Allah for this person and let Allah decide .

The only thing I do differently is add some Cajun spice.
This is simply a bland recipe, copied by several others. The main thing is the quality of the steak you buy. Forget Wal-Mart unless you like a tire inner-tube with you meal and I mean one of their claimed best steaks.. One should go to one of the many grill/bbq sites to improve this recipe.
Have made this many times since finding it last year. It is always a hit! Thanks CalgaryMom for the suggestion of adding sour cream. I'll try it next time that way.
It also works well on hamburgers- I'm not a big fan of the usual ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickle relish combos.
I always keep a jar of minced garlic in my refrigerator so I added about a tsp. to the mushrooms. But I totally enjoyed this recipe! It was quick & delicious!
We use the finger test for testing the steaks' doneness. I've made this recipe twice. The first time, I made the sauce exactly as the recipe said. My husband and 2 friends loved it. I did not. I expected a creamy sauce. So last night when I made it, I added some sour cream, some ground pepper & a little bit of cornstarch to thicken. The spices in the sauce are delicious, and last night the sauce was truly a restaurant quality sauce. Loved it. TFS!

Gyno Lesbians Experienced lesbian doctors are waiting for their young and mature patients (and you) in the gyno exam rooms, having medical stuff and sex toys ready to turn the life of the girls upside-down. They are beautiful and voluptuous but not as crazy about lesbian sex as butches.

Villa della Luna
Hawaiian Shirt Plate
Villa della Luna is a beautiful collection of dinnerware, serveware and accessories based on the book "Dancing with the Moon, a Story of Love at the Villa della Luna" by Jana Kolpen and Mary Tiegreen. We've taken the fun and carefree attitude of Hawaiian print shirts and created this versatile, pattern-coordinating stoneware plate. Use them for breads and rolls, cookies and pastries, or even a lunchtime sandwich out on the patio. The Villa della Luna Hawaiian shirt plate is dishwasher & microwave safe and goes great with other Pfaltzgraff Villa della Luna pieces, line dinnerware sets, acrylic drinkware, vinyl placemats and more. The Hawaiian shirt plate is 8 1/2" long X 9 1/4" wide.

The award recognizes a government official for his or her outstanding contributions to the wild sheep of the state, province and/or country where the person is from.
"Director Ken Mayer and his dedicated NDOW staff through innovative and aggressive habitat improvement, water development, translocation and other conservation measures as well as industry-leading collaborative efforts with sportsman's groups, landowners, livestock producers and other stakeholders, has restored Nevada's bighorn populations to levels only dreamed of in other western states," said WSF President and CEO Gray N. Thornton during the award presentation.
WSF and its affiliate and conservation partner, Nevada Bighorns Unlimited (NBU), recognized Mayer for his and his staff's outstanding contributions to the recovery and enhancement of bighorn sheep in Nevada. With nearly 10,000 bighorn sheep, Nevada leads all western states in the lower 48 for sheer bighorn numbers and well as innovative means to enhance their restoration and sustainability.
"The Nevada Department of Wildlife and Director Ken Mayer have set the pace for all other western sheep states to follow," added Thornton. WSF Chairman of the Board Jack Atcheson, Jr., WSF President Gray N. Thornton and Nevada Bighorns Unlimited President Steve Field presented Mayer the award during the opening ceremony during the foundation's recent convention held at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center and Silver Legacy Resort & Casino.
WSF has been the leader in generating "on the ground" dollars for state, provincial and tribal agencies through the sale of special permits and tags, including $1,925,250 for Nevada since 1984. The foundation raised $3 million in special permit and tag revenues alone – up $438,000 over the 2011 show.
