The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud and drinking beer. Christmas beer, that is.
Just like I'd never heard of Beer Nog until my recent post, I have never heard of Christmas beer. But apparently, there really is such a thing. I was reading about it on the blogs [1] and thought to myself, now there's something I've gotta try. So while we were in the greater Pittsburgh area for Christmas, I stopped by Bocktown again (previously posted about them here). I knew they wouldn't disappoint - they had an entire cooler dedicated to seasonal beers! So I picked up the most appropriately-named brew they had: Christmas Ale.
So what does a Christmas beer taste like? I was expecting notes of pine or peppermint, though I can't say I was excited for either one of those flavors in a beer. Gingerbread would have been good, though (hint to all brewers!) [2] Turns out that at least this particular libation was nothing like that.
BeerAdvocate.com (BA) classifies Breckenridge Brewery's "Christmas Ale" as a Winter Warmer. What's a Winter Warmer, you ask? BA describes it, in part, as having a "big malt presence, both in flavor and body. The color ranges from brownish reds to nearly pitch black. Hop bitterness is generally low, leveled and balanced, but hop character can be pronounced. Alcohol warmth is not uncommon." [3]
As you can see from the picture above, Christmas Ale had a very dark reddish-brown hue with an off-white, frothy head. There was nothing particularly distinctive about its smell - it smelled like...well, beer. The taste was about the same as the smell - nothing special and tasted like a plain ol' beer. Of course, there's nothing wrong with beer tasting like beer - I was just surprised it didn't have some special flavor to it. The ale had a medium mouthfeel [4], and it had a slight carbonation-like bite to it. It was a little bitter and had a bit of an aftertaste, though not unpleasant. All in all, this Christmas beer was okay, though I don't need to have one every Yuletide [5].
BeerAdvocate rates it a 79, while the Brothers [6] rate it an 83.
RateBeer.com rates it a 57 overall with a harsh 12 for style, which they classify as an American Strong Ale.
Granted, I've only had one Christmas beer, but I'm wondering - is Christmas beer a gimmick? What do you think? Leave a comment to discuss, or send me a Tweet: @BrewReviewMann.
As Jon says on his blog, TheBrewSite.com, Beery Christmas and a Hoppy Holidays!
[1] For readers not familiar with the phrase "the blogs", it is simply a way of saying that authors on more than one blog were discussing this topic.
[2] BeerAdvocate.com, a favorite reference of mine, lists a few different gingerbread beers here.
[3] Source: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/style/47. You can also read about the many other styles at this link.
[4] I've never really talked about mouthfeel on Justin's Brew Review before, so a quick tutorial is in order. Mouthfeel is the perception of body in the beer. Body is typically classified as light, medium, or full. Each style has an appropriate amount of body to be expected. (Taken from http://www.alabev.com/taste.htm)
[5] As I was typing "Yuletide", I had the thought that it would make a good Christmas beer name. So I BA'd it (akin to "Googling" something, but on BeerAdvocate's site instead of Google - okay, yes I made that up...but I'm hoping it catches on!), and sure enough, there are a few Yuletide beers available.
[6] "The Brothers", Jason and Todd Alström, started BeerAdvocate.com in 1996. Read about it here.

Pixar, the makers of superb films like Monsters Inc. and more recently Brave has named its main office building in honor of the late Steve Jobs. The building which is part of the Pixar campus now proudly displays the sign "The Steve Jobs Building", the new comes from Pixar Times.
On Twitter, a Pixar employee shared an image taken by a friend, stating that the building had been named "The Steve Jobs Building." Peering in through the windows, you can clearly see the outline of Sulley, confirming that this is the main building that Steve Jobs himself played a major role in designing.
He came up with the idea that the building should be centered around a large atrium, which would lead to accidental collaboration that may not occur if everyone was stuck in their individual offices. I find this to be the perfect way to honor the legacy of Steve Jobs. Placing his name above the main building not only reminds those who walk through the entrance of his importance to the formation of the studio, but is also a meaningful representation of his influence on the famed building.
This is a well-deserved dedication as Pixar was in a lot of trouble before Steve Jobs stepped in and financed the work of the studio before it became profitable. He put a lot of his own money into Pixar's projects believing in the employee's ; he was right to do so. Without his help, we may never have had the chance to enjoy brilliant movies like Toy Story, Finding Nemo and Wall-E; now that input will never be forgotten.

Do we really accept this ??
You must not be a real human talking person, dam, because something negative will happen if you ride long enough. Flat tyre, near miss with a ped, attention from a dog, sunburnt legs... that doesn't mean you should expect to be hit by a car... maturity shows that life has ups and downs, and nothing is exempt from that. I was literally an inch from rear ending a Rodeo this morning, haven't ever felt my bike go sideways Mr Squiggle style until today. These things happen.
If I honestly thought a car hit was inevitable, I don't think I would ride. It hurts.

Lessons from Heparin
Avoiding future drug quality disasters will require closer control over raw materials, use of more powerful analytics and IT, and a Quality by Design approach
A Heparin Timeline
Heparin is an anticoagulant that has been used for more than a half-century to prevent unwanted clotting in post-surgical patients and those on dialysis. In January of this year, Baxter International, which produces roughly half of the U.S. heparin supply, recalled nine lots of product after news broke of a spike in deaths in patients taking heparin. The cause: hypotensive/allergic reactions to the medication. A few weeks later, Baxter recalled all remaining lots.
In March, FDA attributed the source of the contamination as over-sulfated chondroitin sulfate, a common dietary supplement. The degree of contamination ranged from 2% to 50% in the samples FDA tested. As the over-sulfated version was not known to occur naturally and was significantly cheaper than raw heparin, deliberate manipulation of the product was suspected.
The contamination source proved to be a plant in Changzhou, China, owned by Wisconsin-based Baxter supplier Scientific Protein Laboratories (SPL). SPL subsequently passed the blame onto its vast network of suppliers. FDA admitted that it had failed to inspect the Changzhou plant, as it should have before the drug was approved for sale in 2004.
Though no official source of the contamination has been found, FDA has worked to clear up several issues. It has announced that it is opening an office in China (as well as India), will be dedicating more inspectors to the country, and has received funding from congress to do so. It has also coauthored published research—namely a New England Journal of Medicine article in April—that outlines the scientific rationale behind the OSCS deaths.
In June, the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) released revised monographs for heparin sodium and heparin calcium, accompanied by two new and two updated official USP Reference Standards, giving industry (and FDA) improved guidelines for assurance testing heparin sodium and calcium drug substances.
For now, the Agency says, the heparin supply is under control and sufficient testing methods are in place to keep it that way. "The heparin supply in the US is being tested and is free of this contaminant," Janet Woodcock, director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), has said.
"We now have a mechanistic link, and we are confident that this contaminant does trigger the adverse events seen, so we feel the adverse reactions will now cease."
This year, the world was riveted by coverage of the recall of several lots of the blood thinner, heparin. Not only were patient deaths connected to tainted heparin, but the case became the subject of Congressional hearings, triggering severe criticism of the FDA and the drug industry. At a time when the U.S. is outsourcing more drug development and manufacturing offshore, the recall and its aftermath made more people doubt the safety of APIs and other raw materials made in China. The events of the heparin saga are well known (Box, right).
Rather than rehash the story, this article considers the practical lessons—in cGMP, vendor auditing and Quality by Design (QbD)—that the pharmaceutical industry might draw from this case. They're lessons that must be learned fast, because, as pharmaceutical supply chains become more global, complex and opaque, heparin may be just the tip of the iceberg. A survey by Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Marsh Consulting Group suggests that supplier auditing and supply chain safety are nowhere near where they need to be. And experts say the climate is such that another crisis is within reason. "It's going to get worse before it gets better," predicts Warren Perry, compliance advisor for Qumas Consulting (San Francisco). Research into the root causes of heparin contamination suggests intentional tampering, and in a way that differs somewhat from earlier cases of tainted drugs.
For one thing, several lots of contaminated product still passed basic analytical and compendial quality tests, suggesting that whoever contaminated the compound had a sophisticated understanding of the limits of both. The heparin case also occurred at a time when the boundaries separating counterfeit from substandard drugs are blurring. "The level of sophistication of counterfeit drugs has gone up," says Patrick Lukulay, director of the U.S. Pharmacopeia's (USP's) Drug Quality and Information Program, designed to strengthen pharmaceutical QC and QA in developing countries. "Previously, in Africa and in Asia, counterfeit products were comprised of either nothing in the capsule or starch or some inferior raw material. Now counterfeiters are putting the right stuff in there, but inferior quality material that doesn't meet the pharmacopeial standards that you'd expect for that product."
Recreating the Wheel
Heparin provides justification for the need for Quality by Design practices within the industry. When news of the heparin deaths first broke, FDA, USP and academic scientists were called upon to help determine what the heparin contaminant was and how it got there, and whether analytical and compendial tests were sufficient to protect the public (Box, below).
Sleuths on the Case
The analytical sleuthing to determine the nature and source of the heparin contaminant was impressive. Ram Sasisekharan, PhD, from MIT, at the behest of the FDA (in the person of Moheb Nasr), spearheaded a joint effort to discover what, if anything, was wrong with a number of lots of heparin, distributed by Baxter Healthcare. Work was already started by Dr. Nasr's group at CDER, who had already used capillary electrophoresis (CE) and heparinases; they demonstrated that something was in the samples that did not qualify as heparin. He asked Sasisekharan to qualify exactly what the adulterant(s) was. One problem, of course, is that heparin is derived from pigs, and natural products are never exactly the same.
Heparin is mostly a polymer of disaccharides (two-ring sugars) with each unit containing uronic acid and glucosamide. When the various stereoisomers, sugars and sulfation patterns are combined, there are potentially 32 disaccharide units to be included in what is labeled "heparin." The size of the task suggested two more research groups be

Hey everyone!
It's been a while since my last post, but I wanted to keep everyone up to date on how work is coming along on my projects and how things in general are going. I've been working really hard at my new job with just under a month there. We're working on a new project, which will be revealed at PAX in a couple weeks, so everyone is really in high gear. As a result, I've had less than stellar results in trying to get the manuscript for Scope's War done by this weekend. Time's a ticking, and I'm putting in some work tonight, but it looks like I'll be pushing back my finishing date until probably next weekend.
With that said, the work is coming along great. I've been fine-tuning the story as I go, knocking some chapters out in favor of others. I've also finally figured out how to incorporate some characters who were briefly introduced early on in the story. I had phased them out for simplicities sake, but then realized I could really hook the twists back in near the end of the book. It looks like, based on how the story is progressing so far, that I'll be likely only doing a sequel, rather than a trilogy. That may change in the future, but for now that's the plan I'm sticking with.
On the ATB front, Across the Battlefield received its fourth review, which also happened to be its third 5 Star review. Chris Thrall, author of the international best seller 'Eating Smoke' wrote the awesome review. It's great to have fans, especially in successful authors. When work on Scope's War is finished, I'll be moving over to work on the follow-up to ATB. The second volume, titled 'Across the Battlefield: Operation Soaring Eagle' will be a collection for stories that expand on the arc and characters of my story 'Deception' which was the final story in the original collection. I've got a great set of new stories planned and currently have eight drafted out, which should give the collection more meat than the first one.
I'm going to sign off now and get cracking on some writing, but once again, thank you all so much for the support and encouragement. Cheers, and happy writings!

The exhibition explores the ways in which photography and celebrity have interacted and changed, with portraits from the magazine's early period (1913–1936) displayed in conjunction with works from the contemporary Vanity Fair (1983–present). The Los Angeles presentation will be the only U.S. stop on the exhibition's international tour.
In 1913, Vanity Fair launched with the birth of modernism, the dawning of the Jazz Age, and the groundbreaking Armory Show that introduced avantgarde art to the American public. Publisher Condé Nast (1873–1942) partnered with editor Frank Crowninshield (1872–1947) to create a magazine that would engage with modern culture and innovation in the arts. Vanity Fair portraits by Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton, Baron De Meyer, Man Ray, George Hurrell and later Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton, Nan Goldin, Herb Ritts, Harry Benson, Mario Testino, and Bruce Weber capture cultural and celebrity icons such as Gloria Swanson, Louise Brooks, Anna May Wong, and Paul Robeson, Louis Armstrong, Josephine Baker, Noёl Coward, Pablo Picasso, Albert Einstein, Jesse Owens, James Joyce, Katharine Hepburn, and Fred and Adele Astaire during Vanity Fair's vintage age. More recent portraits include those of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kate Winslet, Lance Armstrong, George Clooney, a disrobed and pregnant Demi Moore (1991), a formal portrait of President Bush's Afghan- War Cabinet (2002), and most recently actresses Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley posing naked with designer Tom Ford (2006).
After LACMA's presentation, the exhibition will complete its tour at the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, Australia (June 12–August 30, 2009).

Continuing a five-year tradition, executive chef David Gordon and the culinary team at the Hyatt Regency Savannah have made one of the largest gingerbread houses in the city.
SLIDESHOW: Click here to view photos of the gingerbread house at the Hyatt
The 90-square-foot confection, which stands 12 feet high and is 8 feet wide, is currently on display in the hotel's lobby for public viewing at 2 W. Bay St. Viewers are encouraged to donate canned goods to America's Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia to help those need this holiday season.
In 2011, Gordon said his team took a different creative approach to the project by creating a gingerbread pirate ship. The experiment didn't go over well with the public.
"They were ready to run me out of town," Gordon recalled. "Nobody liked it."
To redeem themselves, Gordon and his fellow chefs - along with assistance from two Woodville-Tompkins Technical & Career Institute students - returned to the basics.
In creating this year's sugary masterpiece, they used 500 pounds of gingerbread, 500 pounds of powdered sugar, 3,000 egg whites, about 10,000 hard candies, 250 candy canes and 10 pounds of M&M's. It took about a week to complete the task.
Scott Edwards, hotel general manager, said the gingerbread house is a hit with children. It's also great at attracting other visitors, who in turn donate to America's Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia, he said.
"We partner on a couple of different events throughout the year with them," Edwards said. "This makes a unique location as a drop-off point for our food drive."
Canned goods are being accepted in the Hyatt's lobby at any time. The gingerbread house will remain on display until Dec. 28.
The following are some local charities accepting donations:
America's Second Harvest of

Release Date: January 23, 2013
BUFFALO, N.Y. – LeaderCORE™, the leadership certification program created by the University at Buffalo School of Management, was chosen as the 2012 winner of the MBA Roundtable Innovator Award.
The MBA Roundtable gives the Innovator Award to recognize and promote innovative initiatives in MBA education and acknowledge the institutions that are driving change in the field. The award was presented to the UB School of Management at the annual Graduate Management Admissions Council - MBA Roundtable Leadership Conference in San Francisco on Jan. 23-25.
The UB School of Management launched LeaderCORE in fall 2010 as its educational response to the question, "What is at the core of every great leader?"
"We know from our work with corporate leaders that they want MBA graduates who are equipped with more than industry knowledge and technical ability, said Nick Everest, faculty co-director of the program and assistant professor in the School of Management. "They want employees who can transition seamlessly from business school to leadership-track careers and create value for their organization."
LeaderCORE is a comprehensive leadership certification program that spans the entire two years of the full-time MBA program.
The driving force of the program are the 10 core competencies considered vital by the business community for effective performance and successful leadership, including team leadership, problem-solving/decision-making, and self-management and adaptability. These competencies are organized into three key leadership dimensions – people, thinking and motivation – with integrity as the unifying value.
MBA students who apply and are accepted into the program undergo a rigorous assessment process to identify the leadership competencies they wish to strengthen, and this forms the basis of a customized personal development plan.
Students take two LeaderCORE development courses during semesters two and three, as well as additional courses and co-curricular activities mapped to the competencies. Coaches from within the school and the business community provide support to the students in meeting their development goals. In their final semester, students are assessed, and those who are successful receive LeaderCORE certification.
"The finalists for the MBA Innovator Award were an extremely impressive group. It is enormously encouraging to see MBA schools continue to challenge the way MBA programs and curriculum are taught and reinforced with the students," said Casey Rasata, a member of the selection committee and the global university relations director for Eaton Corporation. "I was particularly impressed with the submission by the University at Buffalo and their LeaderCORE program. As an employer, it was exciting to see a program that was so focused on soft skills development. Teaching students how to assess and develop their individual competencies is a skill that will allow them to grow as leaders and be agile learners throughout their career."
"With only one graduating class so far, we're already seeing positive results," said Muriel Anderson, the program's other faculty co-director and an assistant professor in the School of Management. "Our students have been successful in transitioning their skills to the work place and, as a result, we've had a number of prospective employers ask us to refer students who have participated in the LeaderCORE program."
"This is exactly what business schools need to be doing," said Rich Floersch, UB BS/MBA '80, executive vice president and chief human resources officer for McDonald's Corporation, and one of the executives consulted during the development of the LeaderCORE program. "Students who can work effectively both within teams and in leading teams will always be in high demand. LeaderCORE will ensure this development occurs before they enter the work force."
The UB School of Management is recognized for its emphasis on real-world learning, community and economic impact, and the global perspective of its faculty, students and alumni. The school has been ranked by Bloomberg Businessweek, the Financial Times, Forbes, U.S. News & World Report and The Wall Street Journal for the quality of its programs and the return on investment it provides its graduates.

SEATTLE – Friends on Sunday mourned a well-known outdoors writer and photographer who had been missing for three days in Mount Rainier National Park before searchers said they recovered a body of a woman.
The National Park Service said it will be up to the Pierce County medical examiner to confirm that the body found Saturday afternoon was that of 70-year-old Karen Sykes of Seattle. It was discovered in an area where searchers were looking for Sykes, and they ended the three-day rescue effort after finding it.
"For a lot of local hikers, it's an extreme loss," said Greg Johnston, who edited a "Trail of the Week" column she wrote for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "For decades, she showed us the way, and now that's gone."
Sykes was prominent in the Northwest hiking community for her trail reviews and photographs, for her book on hiking western Washington and for leading group outings. Friends said she found sanctuary in the wilderness.
"It was a real healing thing for her," Johnston said. "Once she found hiking, she never stopped."
She had been hiking with her boyfriend, Bob Morthorst, on Wednesday in the Owyhigh Lakes area east of Rainier's 14,410-foot summit when they encountered snow on the trail at about 5,000 feet. He stopped and she went on, friends and park officials said.
When she didn't return as planned, he made it safely down the trail and reported her missing.
The body found Saturday was off-trail, about halfway down a steep hillside above Boundary Creek, park spokeswoman Patti Wold said. She didn't know whether it was apparent that the woman had fallen or what caused the death. It remains under investigation.
Among the dangers of hiking on snowfields in the summer are falling through snow bridges caused by melting water beneath the surface and sinking into tree wells, where deep, soft or unsupported snow accumulates around tree trunks. A searcher was hurt Thursday when he punched through a snow bridge and was airlifted out of the area.
"It's a time to be cautious when you're in the backcountry on snow, but we don't know if that was a contributing factor or not," Wold said.
Michael Fagin, a meteorologist who specializes in mountain weather forecasts, said Sykes invited him on the hike, but he had to work. Often during hikes with Sykes and her boyfriend, she'd continue walking around and taking pictures when Fagin and Morthorst stopped to eat or rest.
"Bob and I would stop and eat lunch, and she'd be crawling in the dirt taking pictures of flowers," Fagin said. "She couldn't sit still."
Fagin said he would typically take the lead on their walks; Sykes, who was also a distance runner, would get too far ahead if she led.
Much of Sykes' recent work had been for the website of Visit Rainier, an organization that uses local lodging taxes to promote tourism at the mountain. She often tried to write about lesser-used trails, Fagin said.
"After lunch on the ridge we continued, climbing from one high point to the next facing the mountain," she wrote in a piece about snowshoeing on Mazama Ridge. "As much as we love the forest there is something that stirs the restless soul to go further, to go higher.
"One has to be careful to establish and stick to a turnaround time. The siren will tempt you with another high point along the ridge, then another, then another."

|Kenny Russell had just 41
yards but scored two touchdowns for Worcester State against WPI,
including the game-winner.
Worcester State athletics photo
There's nothing like fighting with the guy just down the street. Or across the water.
Worcester State finally got the best of the rival down the street, beating WPI 21-14. It was the first time the Lancers defeated their Worcester neighbor since 2002.
This week the SUNY-Maritime Privateers gun for their third win in three years against Merchant Marine, a place literally within view across the water.
Gallaudet is coming off its own neighborhood battle. Like Worcester State, the Bison were trying to end a drought, an even longer one.
They nearly succeeded. Gallaudet came so close to beating D.C. rival Catholic for the first time in the last 26 meetings, but fell 45-41.
Still, the Bison have given their Eastern Collegiate Football Conference brethren plenty to think about. They are a very dangerous 0-2 team and after an overtime loss to Otterbein and the battle with Catholic, it appears the ECFC coaches might not have given them quite enough respect by voting them fifth in the preseason poll.
But back to Worcester, Mass. "They are just down the street. A lot of kids on each team played against each other in high school," Worcester State coach Brien Cullen said. "They interact a lot when they go into the city.
"It's a very positive rivalry."
And the mood around Worcester is pretty positive. The Lancers return 18 starters and are off to a great start.
"We're pretty excited. It's been a while since we were 2-0," Cullen said. "But our league is very competitive."
The Lancers lost but one starter on offense and replaced him with 6-5, 250-pound tight end Casey Hippert, a transfer from Sacred Heart. "We just plugged him right in," Cullen said.
"We've got some game breakers with Marcus Price and Kenny Russell." Marcus Price ran through WPI for 137 yards, a good chunk of that coming on an 82-yard touchdown run. Russell caught a touchdown pass.
A couple of Lancers had a big day on the other side of the ball as Cameron Jones had 12 tackles and recovered a funble, and Ray St. Laurent contributed 10 tackles and a sack.
Worcester State and WPI seldom recruit the same student athlete. WPI is known for engineering.
"It's a different type of student," Cullen said.
That's not so when it comes to the Seafaring Scuffle between SUNY-Maritime and Merchant Marine.
"We do recruit the same students," Maritime coach Clayton Kendrick-Holmes said.
"It's an industry rivalry. All of our alums work together every single day.
"There are very few situations like that. I played in the Army-Navy game and I didn't work with anyone in the Army until I was deployed last year and I've been in the Navy for over 20 years."
That is why Kendrick-Holmes felt it was so important to institute the rivalry when he assumed the position of head coach of his newly restarted program. He was finally able to get Merchant Marine on the schedule and this will be the third meeting. The Privateers won the first two, but they were very close: one going to overtime and the other coming down to the final play.
The 1-1 Privateers have the momentum of a 48-0 thumping of Western Connecticut in which Jamie Spanopoulos rushed for three touchdowns and Madison Leary kicked field goals of 44 and 47 yards.
Kendrick-Holmes knows the Seafaring Scuffle will be much closer. He expects a game in the mold of the first two.
The rivalry is intensified by the proximity of the similar schools.
"You can see it across the water. It's probably under a mile," said Kendrick-Holmes, who piloted the Privateers to a 10-0 regular season in 2010.
Merchant Marine is also coming off a victory. They edged Coast Guard in a thrilling Secretaries' Cup game 35-28 when Chase Dunn caught his third touchdown pass of the game with just eight seconds remaining.
"We can see their lights on when they are up late at night working," Kendrick-Holmes said of Merchant Marine.
Likely, they are both up late this week.
Maritime magic
The other Maritimes fared well this week, also. Maine Maritime unleashed its usual bruising ground game, piling up 510 yards rushing against Anna Maria in a 42-13 victory.
Headline writers will have a field day with the name Ian Champeon and he has already given them the chance. The MMA sophomore fullback rushed for 206 yards and a touchdown. Matthew Rende added 170 yards and a TD on the ground as Maine Maritime earned coach Chris McKenney his 50th career victory.
Massachusetts Maritime won an opener for the first time in five years, edging Western New England 19-14 as Matt White rushed for 117 yards and two TDs and Stephan Gustafson returned a punt 54 yards for a score.
Passing fancy
Matthew Silva threw five touchdowns for Framingham State in a 54-13 beating of Nichols and Max Gilson threw for three scores for Curry in a 49-14 thrashing of Fitchburg State.
Silva was 14-for-14 for 235 yards and, not surprisingly, his primary target was James McCarthy who led the nation in scoring last year. McCarthy hauled in eight passes for 113 yards and two scores. Alexander Avery got plenty out of his three receptions: 85 yards and two touchdowns.
Foglia hits century mark, again
Plymouth State's Andrew Fogia had his second consecutive 100-yard rushing game as the Panthers went to 2-0 by holding off Mount Ida 19-13.
Norwich's Andrew Fulford also ran for 107 yards, but it was not enough as the Cadets fell to St. Lawrence, 29-14. Picked, along with SUNY-Maritime for the top spot by the coaches in the ECFC, the Cadets are 0-2.
Fast start for MIT
MIT scored 28 points in the first half in its season-opening 35-13 victory over Becker. John Wenzel led MIT by throwing for 224 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.
Don't sleep on the Seahawks
Salve Regina is getting the attention of the New England Football Conference. The Seahawks followed up their impressive win over Union by playing ranked Montclair State tough before falling 18-7.
The feeling around the league has been that Bob Chesney and his staff are building something in Newport, R.I., and this might be the year they make a big splash.
"They probably play the toughest out-of-conference schedule in the league," Cullen said. "I think they've got to be one of the favorites on their side of the league." Salve Regina, in fact, is one of just two NEFC schools to schedule two true non-conference games and the only team in either division of the NEFC to play two teams from stronger conferences, as most teams prefer to play their "non-conference" games against teams from the other NEFC division or the ECFC.
Gulls explode in second half
Endicott went to 2-0 by erupting for 31 points in the second half to erase a 24-17 deficit. They went on to beat Westfield State 45-24.
They did it by land and air. Mike Lane rushed for 237 yards and a touchdown and Phil Konpka threw for 255 yards and two scores.
Spartans never idle
Castleton State had an open week, but the Spartans rolled up their sleeves and went to work. They, along with other students, helped clean up debris and put people's homes back together in an area that received unimaginable devastation from Tropical Storm Irene.
Bears pitch a shutout
Bridgewater State opened with a 27-0 victory over UMass-Dartmouth as Mike McCarthy ran for one score and passed for another.
The Big Games
The game between Bay State programs MIT and Massachusetts Maritime is an intriguing one. It would be a huge injection of excitement for either of these programs to be 2-0.
Plymouth could go to 3-0 against Bridgewater, but the Bears figure to have a good chance to stay unbeaten themselves.
Castleton plays its first ever night game at RPI and, of course, there is the Seafaring Scuffle.
The ECFC's Husson plays Springfield and the Eagles, Castleton and Becker (against WPI) all are underdogs.
The ECFC team with the best chance to win its nonconference game is probably SUNY-Maritime.
The ECFC made its debut in 2009 and most of its schools are still young in football. But the league does have the automatic qualifier, otherwise known as an automatic bid to the playoffs, for the first time this season.
"It's nice we have the AQ this year," Kendrick-Holmes said. "We're all trying to build a resume as a conference. We are what we are. We have a lot of new coaches this year. I'm proud of our conference and the direction we are going in."

Kathy McCleary has heard it all at bedtime from Grace, her 6-year-old: "Read me another story." "I have to pee." "I need a snuggle." "We forgot dessert tonight." One memorable night, Grace even tried: "Can I stay up to help clean? I just love doing dishes!"
As the evenings dragged on later and later, the exhausted McCleary, who lives in Portland, OR, tried threats, rewards and even sitting guard in the hallway outside Grace's bedroom. Nothing worked. Her younger daughter, Emma, 3, caught up in her big sister's bedtime resistance, charged that McCleary treated the girls "like prisoners" because she insisted they go to bed.
"No, Emma," corrected Grace. "Prisoners can do things and go places. Actually, it's more like Mommy is our prisoner."
"She's right," McCleary sighs.
Many parents feel shackled by their kids' bad sleep habits. But while advice abounds about putting down infants and toddlers, there's little help if you're the parent of an older child. And you've got lots of company: A recent study of almost 500 kids from kindergarten through fourth grade found that more than a third of them suffered from at least one sleep-related problem, including bedtime resistance, sleep anxiety, and night waking.
This not only leaves us frustrated, but also chips away at the precious p.m. hours grown-ups need to unwind, do chores, and relate to a mate. Kids' sleep problems are linked to daytime crankiness, hyperactivity, depression, and poor school performance, says Will Wilkoff, M.D., a pediatrician in Brunswick, ME, and the author of Is My Child Overtired? Too little rest is a new epidemic among kids, he asserts. If you've asked yourself, "Isn't he too old for this?" get a grip with these tips.
Paula Spencer is the author of Everything Else You Need to Know When You're Expecting: The New Etiquette for the New Mom.
The Delay Artist
Grace, the girl in the opening example, simply doesn't want to go to bed. In fact, the more her parents insist, cajole, threaten, or indulge, the more resistant she becomes.
Most sleep resistors act as if their bedtime is too early, but once the fussing ends, they may actually wind up short on rest. Five-year-olds need about 11 hours of sleep per night, which gradually lessens to 10 1/2 hours by age 7, 10 hours by age 9, and 9 1/2 to ten by age 12. But a better indicator of whether a child gets enough sleep is her behavior, says Marc Weissbluth, M.D., professor of clinical pediatrics at Northwestern University Medical School and author of Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. If she wakes up rested but gets cranky later, or needs extra shut-eye on the weekend, she's probably sleep deprived.
Kids who buck bedtime generally like the attention it brings. But it's unhealthy for both parent and child to struggle with each other when tired, Dr. Weissbluth says. For the child, the nightly dramas themselves become the bedtime routine.
Changing this habit requires consistency—a tall order if parents are already so tired they lack the physical and emotional stamina it takes. ("My husband and I are usually both too wiped out to draw a line in the sand," McCleary admits.)
Announce during the day that you're instituting a new routine: "After you brush your teeth and put on pj's at eight o'clock, we'll read one chapter of a book together, and it's lights-out." No further explaining allowed. Consider starting the bedtime wind-down earlier than usual so you can spend reasonable one-on-one time with each child. If your kid resists, just keep calmly taking him back to his bedroom. Another tactic: the pass system. After you tuck her in, give your child a bedtime pass exchangeable for only one excused departure from the room after bedtime. A kid saving the valuable pass may fall asleep waiting to use it, says Patrick Friman, Ph.D., a researcher at Boys' Home in Boys Town, NE, who reports success with the method.
The Land Rover
Kate Nolan* of Creve Coeur, MO, starts out every night sleeping soundly in her room. But in the wee hours, she pads down the hall to her parents' bed. When she was a cuddly toddler, her mom and dad didn't mind, but now she's a gangly 7-year-old, and they resent the regular intrusions—and sleeping on a sliver of mattress as she hogs most of the bed.
Why can't Kate and kids like her stay asleep? Between cycles of light and deep sleep, it's natural to wake up from time to time. Most of us roll over and drift off again. Some kids, however, have trouble returning to sleep, perhaps because they occasionally feel too hot or cold, or have had a stressful dream.
"To help your kid learn to fall back to sleep on her own, have a conversation about it during the day, when she's less anxious," suggests Kelly Byars, Psy.D., a pediatric psychologist at the Sleep Disorders Clinic of Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati. Use age-appropriate language like, "You're a big kid now, and you need to learn to sleep in your own bed. We'll all sleep better that way. So if you come into our bed before morning, I'm going to tuck you back into yours. You can still come to our room once it's light out." Talk about ways your child can soothe herself to sleep, like hugging a stuffed toy or thinking happy thoughts. And remember to follow through at night—for as many times as it takes.
"Don't be discouraged if your child's behavior doesn't improve immediately," Byars warns. "For a child who can't fall back to sleep alone, the skill has to be learned, and it may take days, even weeks of consistent practice." But if you give in to such compromises as having your child camp out in a chair or sleeping bag next to your bed, you'll never solve the problem.
The Anxious Sleeper
"I've tried everything," complains Lauren Coles*, 9, of Elmhurst, IL, "and I just can't fall asleep." The later it gets, the more worried Lauren becomes. If her parents retire before she's asleep, she panics and begs them to stay up.
When all's quiet at night and it's time to make the transition to sleep, fears often surface—about tests at school, the scary TV show she just watched, and what would happen if Dad was snatched by aliens or Mom was attacked by chipmunks.
Preadolescents can be especially vulnerable as their lives get more crowded with homework, sports practices, clubs, and socializing. When they want to sleep, they're so hyped they can't. It's been widely reported that teenagers' biological clocks change, leading them to stay up later at night even though they still need to rise early for school, but kids 9 to 12 can be affected too, says Dr. Wilkoff. By sixth grade, this lifestyle leaves many children chronically sleep deprived, according to a study last year by researchers at Tel Aviv University. Such kids truly need a calm wind-down to the day, Dr. Wilkoff continues. Curb wild play, suspenseful TV, video games, and books (this may include Harry Potter ones for some children) an hour or so before bedtime.
Well before lights-out, explore what's on your child's mind. "A lot of highly motivated, type-A kids are obsessed with worrying, 'How will I do tomorrow?' in terms of schoolwork and social situations," Dr. Wilkoff notes. Don't dismiss concerns, because even if they seem irrational, they're serious to your child. Instead, Dr. Wilkoff suggests, "say, 'Let's write down what you're thinking about, so we can get the worried thoughts out of your head and onto the paper.'"
Also, show your child ways to distract herself from stressful thoughts. "Ask her if she can travel, in her imagination, to the most beautiful place she's ever seen, and assure her that she can go there in her mind whenever she chooses," suggests Barbara Kay Polland, Ph.D., professor of child development at California State University at Northridge.
The Please-Stay-With-Me Sleeper
When John Connor*, 7, of San Anselmo, CA, had a bad ear infection, his mom sat at his bedside as he fell asleep. After a few days, the ear was better, but John insisted that his mother stay by his side. "I need you to be with me," he'd say. Now he refuses to go to sleep unless his mom or dad is there with him.
We all have certain props that help us fall asleep. Maybe you prefer a feather pillow, say, or the thermostat set at 65 degrees. A typical sleep association for a child is a night-light or a favorite blanket. Unfortunately, it can just as easily be you.
"Sleep is a biological need of our bodies, but it's also a learned behavior," says Byars. "A child can learn to 'need' his parents' presence to fall asleep." He doesn't really need you there, of course. But every time he insists that he does—and you stay by his side—that insistence creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.
To break the habit, try a phaseout. For starters, suggests Byars, say something like: "As you grow up, it's important to sleep by yourself, without me here. I'm going to stay in your room but not lie down next to you." For a few nights, sit up on the bed until he drifts off. After success with that, move to a chair next to the bed. If your child protests, remind him: "I'm not far away. You are working on learning to sleep by yourself." Most parents who stand their ground have success in a week to ten days, as they transition out of the room. Help your child build a new sleep association to take your place. Maybe it's a substitute for you, like your T-shirt. Kelly Sheehan of Phoenix, MD, helped her son Colin, 7, pick out a stuffed dog. "I told him he needed to make sure the dog felt safe at bedtime. Having this responsibility seemed to ease his tension," she says.

baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
(part 1)
Common - any card which is not short-printed, an insert, a bonus card, or has an insertion ratio. In short, the cards that comprise the manufacturer's basic set.
Condition - the physical appearance of a card/collectible. Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, the presence of foreign material, signs of misuse are the critical components. Along with rarity/scarcity, it is a major factor in determining the value of a card or collectible.
Crease - an obvious paper wrinkle defect usually caused by bending the card [i.e.- the result of being tortured on a rear-wheel bicycle spoke during the early '50s and '60s].
Die-Cut - an insert/parallel card that differs from the basic card by a process of the manufacturer "cutting" portions of the card revealing a special design. Recent issues may also be individually and serially-numbered.
1967 Topps WHO AM I ?NM/MINT to MINT COMPLETE 1976 Crane Potato Chip Football Discs Set.
It's easy to see why the 1967 Topps "Who Am I? set is a favorite of both sports and non- sport collectors. The set's 44 cards feature mostly important figures from world history but what makes this set even more popular was the inclusion of 4 of baseball's most popular players: Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Sandy Koufax !!!
The players picture on the front is covered with a scratch-off disguise with silly, exaggerated features like hair, moustaches, hats, noses... and clues to help kids identify the famous person pictured. The backs contained additional clues and instructions to "Scratch off disguise on front to discover Who I Am. Use a coin or fingernail."
Cards with their scratch-off coating intact are worth many, many times cards with the coatings removed. For example, NM/MINT Babe Ruth with the coating is in the $200-$400 range while a NM/MINT Ruth with the coating removed is closer to $25.

Topic: Vote Vader
I voted for Vader about a year ago but I never have received an update on this .... has anyone else?
I'm referring to the Vote Vader here: Moss 247 Vote Vader
I found it originally on DaveProwse.com (and it's still there)
I personally think it would be cool to have a Darth Vader statue in Bristol - although I'll never get there to see it if it happens.... but their would be photos all over the news and internet if it did happen.
And for those that haven't voted for Vader -- consider it....

Do a really quick PhotoShop of jack nicholsons face doing the heeeeeeereeeees johnny but with sunglasses on? It doesn't need to be good or anything. Id post a pic of it but there's a lot on Google.
I'd do it myself but I'm stuck on my phone until the nexus releases
Tl;Dr I got something we named "5 foot johnny" and someone made the joke. So I wanna put that picture on it but regular jack nicholson will eventually scare me. I've noticed everything is infinitely less scary with sunglasses.

Bobby Carpenter finally made one special teams mistake too many.
As a result, the Miami Dolphins released the veteran inside linebacker on Monday.
Carpenter, a former first-round pick of the Cowboys during Bill Parcells' tenure there, missed the block that led to a deflected 24-yard punt for Brandon Fields in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Packers.
Two weeks earlier, in the game that cost special teams coordinator John Bonamego his job, Carpenter blew the block that led to a blocked punt against Fields in the 41-14 loss to the Patriots. Carpenter also failed to corral Patriots returner Brandon Tate at the start of a 103-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
Those mistakes earned him the wrath of Jets special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff, who didn't name Carpenter but noted the same player who made two huge mistakes was still on the Dolphins' roster while Bonamego was out of work.
Carpenter leaves with four special teams tackles, tied with Tyrone Culver for the Dolphins' team lead, as well as six tackles on defense. The most important of those came in the Week 2 win at Minnesota, when Carpenter stood up All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson at the Miami 1 on third down during a game-saving goal line stand.
The return of Channing Crowder to the active roster alleviated the need for an extra inside linebacker. The Dolphins are likely to add 2010 seventh-round pick Austin Spitler, like Carpenter an Ohio State product, to the game-day roster if needed against Pittsburgh.
Carpenter, released by the Rams out of training camp after they traded offensive lineman Alex Barron to Dallas for him in the spring, was signed before the season opener and wound up starting the first two games for the Dolphins.
Carpenter is the son of Rob Carpenter, a former NFL running back for the Oilers and Giants.
