Premise? Sounded great as it reminded me of Attack on Titan's premise, a series that Black Bullet has been compared to quite often because of the similar vibe. Humanity fenced off and protected by giant walls against an enemy that is nearly impossible to defeat and the only saviors are the ones humanity hates most. In AoT, it was people who could turn into Titans, in Black Bullet's case it is not people who turn into Gastrea but loli called the cursed children who have superhuman powers due to their hybrid blood. Okay, so this show is pandering to the lolicons even though it's suppose to sound serious. It's... See full review
Long story short, Wizard Barristers is about a young barrister named Sudo Cecil who is not only the youngest barrister in history but also a girl written about in the mythical book; Grimoire 365. In this world, magic use is apart of everyday society but those who use it (wizards) have strict restrictions on how they can use it. A secret underground group of wizards named the Macal seek to use Cecil's legendary power to destroy the human race.
In a bit more detail, Wizard Barristers carries a theme of magic mixed with courtroom drama and does somewhat decent at one while doing horribly at another... See full review

What makes Coppelion so disappointing is that it had such a great premise that wasn't utilized at all. In fact it seemed more often than not that the very premise that was set up in the first two episodes of this series was just forgotten about after a while. Coppelion takes place in Old Capitol, approximately 20 years after a nuclear meltdown rendered Tokyo completely uninhabitable. The Japanese government created genetically engineered humans called Coppelion who are high school aged teens that were trained in the art of search and rescue. The genetic engineering rendered them impervious... See full review
If you've been watching anime regularly then maybe you've come across the great curse that befalls anime adaptations of popular video games. Most anime that have been based off of video games tend to be quite horrible but BlazBlue: Alter Memory really takes the cake.
Story: (15/50)
Seriously what the fuck? I guess BlazBlue's story line can only be followed by those who've played the video games but from what I see, those who have played the video game have abandoned ship a long time ago. In terms of story I guess it goes something like this: The main character Ragna is a wanted criminal and is... See full review
I normally don't write a review about an anime I dropped but I already read the manga so I'm really confident about my review.
Story: (30/100) Allow me to try and explain the plot of this series. Karneval is about a boy named Nai who is searching for an old friend and his search brings him in contact with a young pickpocket named Gareki. These two are soon thrown into a battle between the supernatural Government defense force known as Circus and a evil supernatural organization named Kafka that develops these demonic creatures called Varugas. Gareki and Nai join Circus as both Kafka and Circus are... See full review
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is certainly a wild and over the top anime that knows how entertain. A superficial series that doesn't make any kind of attempt at creating some kind of profound plot and that's just one of reasons why I love this series. PASWG is an anime based off of stereotypical American Culture and animated using a style of animation similar to the average American cartoon. Imagine some of the worst personality based stereotypes of Americans and you'll get the personalities of the main duo; Panty and Stocking. These two sisters from heaven are rude and vulgar as can be. Also known as... See full review
Asu no Yoichi a.k.a Samurai Harem is an ecchi harem martial arts comedy series that isn't great but it is kind of entertaining. I may not be a big fan of harem series but I don't mind ecchi if it's not over the top. Despite being having harem right in the title, you don't really get an actual sense of a harem forming in this series. The main character Yoichi Karasuma is in fact surrounded by girls but only two actually make an attempt at vying for his affection while the others are typically there to suffer at the hands of his "ecchi accidents." Despite Yoichi being the main character, he isn't... See full review
Day Break Illusion is a series that could of joined Madoka Magica in building the dark magical girl sub-genre, instead it simply copied it with little originality. What little originality this series does contain comes from its Tarot Card Reading theme which doesn't effect the progression of the series as much as you might think. Day Break Illusion can be exciting at times and deliver emotional scenes here and there but overall, it's a disappointment. Not a failure but a disappointment. Everything is actually really predictable except for what happens to Luna or the information dump in episode eleven. Day... See full review

Gatchaman Crowds was certainly the surprise of this season. Gatchaman Crowds seems to share its history with the original Gatchaman series of the 1970s, a series that I've never seen so I can't and won't compare the two. On the other hand, I will say that anyone looking for a nice upbeat superhero action-drama should probably take a look at this. Gatchaman Crowds combines the traditional duties of disguised superheroes with the benefits and dangers of modern day social networking; creating an anime that you just can't help but enjoy to some extent. This series sticks to the typical... See full review
Point blank, these specials are basically just one long strip show. The speicals were strickly made for fanservice and serve no actual purpose to the original anime. Admittingly, I'm a guy who enjoys his lolis but not in a sexual manner so the third special made me pretty uncomfortable but besides that one, the others were alright I guess. I'm more of an ass man and not a breast guy either so needless to say Hedyeh was the victor in my opinion. Almost no one had a nose and each special only had one song which was actually nice and soothing.See full review
Story: (45/50) It's Not my Fault I'm Not Popular!, No Matter How I Think About It, It's You Guys' Fault That I'm Not Popular!, Watashi ga Moteinai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! or it's shorter title WataMote! is by far the funniest anime this year. At the same time, it's also the saddest and most cringe worthy anime this year. WataMote! focuses on a girl named Tomoko Kuroki who has a bad combination of Social Anxiety Disorder and narcissism. Tomoko longs to be popular or at least have some friends but reality turns out to be much crueler than she ever imagined. Time... See full review
Saikano is a pretty old manga, dating back to 2000, made into an anime in 2002, given two OVAs in 2005 and then was finally turned into a live action film in 2006. This review is about the anime and somewhat about the OVAs which I recommend you go and watch if you plan to watch this series. Due to the fact that Saikano is an anime from over a decade ago, don't expect any stellar animation. In fact the animation seems to be perfectly based off of the manga which is pretty damn bad but then again, it's from 2000 so I can't be too judgemental about it. The voice actors are actually really good but the... See full review
Attack on Titan, by far the most hyped anime series this year but unlike Sword Art Online, it is actually quite well deserving of most of the hype. Attack on Titan is a creation of a much darker shounen anime, a amazing survival series that just drags you in. Attack on Titan knows how to deliver the suspense and horror while getting you to fear for the character's safety. With the appearance of each Titan, you start to think about who's going to die now, how will the survivors escape, will someone bail out and go crazy? The only real negatives to point out in this show are the high number of still shots... See full review
Alright let's get to it. Gargantia as I called it, is far from the best series this season or this year and the only real reason anyone says it's such is mainly because of the ending. Give a series a great ending and all of a sudden that makes up for the rest. It's impossible for me to think that way. Gargantia certainly had a great beginning and a great ending but the bridge in between the two cliffs was pretty damn shaky. If anything the series was only good during it's first two episodes and it's last three episodes, everything in between those episodes can be summed up as "meh." The story of... See full review
I may be an avid anime viewer but I rarely watch anime movies but I decided to give this new one a try. Nerawareta Gakuen is a supernatural romantic drama that starts off simple but gradually builds into a beautiful story that drops 2/3s of the way through. Allow me to explain what I mean. Nerawareta Gakuen starts off as a touching middle school romance between a set of friends that turns into a heart wrenching love triangle of pure unrequited love for each person involved. The love triangle gets even more complicated when Ryoichi, the new transfer student enrolls. Said transfer students turns out to be... See full review
Red Garden is one hell of a supernatural drama with great character development and story telling. I have to say that it is pretty slow paced but after the first eight or nine episodes things really begin to pick up. There are moments where the main characters main seem melodramatic but consider the moment in which they're doing so and you'll see that they're actually quite justified in their responses. Red Garden can basically be cut into two parts with the first 10 episodes really paying close attention to how the girls are dealing with their current situation and how it affects them mentally and...

Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge (The Serving Crime Edge) is a dramatic battle series submersed in a number of sexual fetishes. Despite that last statement, this series isn't really ecchi except for a few select moments. Gotta admit, I like this series even though it is pretty cheesy in many instances. The action is pretty over exaggerated which is somewhat funny but adds great entertainment. You'll get a kick out of this series for it's exaggerated fight scenes and budding romance. Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge primarily focuses on character development more than it does on fighting scenes. Maybe... See full review
Date A Live, a series that I never really took seriously to begin with. When it comes to harem based animes, they're either suppose to be funny, serious or romantic and Date A Live was none of that. There were no jokes to laugh at, the serious moments about Kotori and Origami's past were presented horribly and the romance was as good as a third grade stage play about Romeo and Juliet. I'll be honest, the only reason I actually decided to watch this series was because of Kurumi and Yoshino who have been added to my list of Favorite Psychopaths and Favorite Kawaii Characters.
Date A Live attempts to... See full review
Tasogare Otome X Amnesia known in English as the Dusk Maiden of Amnesia is an incredible dramatic romance. Tasogare Otome X Amnesia focuses on a young man by the name of Teiichi Niiya who can see ghost and a young girl named Yuuko Kanoe. Yuuko is a ghost that has roamed the halls of Niiya's school's for decades and has no recollection of her death. Yuuko comes in contact with Niiya after he discovers her corpse by mistake and the two end up forming a close bond. Niiya along with Yuuko and Kirie Kane, the granddaughter of Yuuko's younger sister and an enthusiastic ghost... See full review
Sakurasou no pet na Kanojo is an amazing romantic comedy between a young ordinary teen named Sorata Kanda and an amazing savant named Mashiro Shiina. Sorata is stuck in a slightly run down dorm called Sakurasou where he shares space with an incredibly intriguing and somewhat crazy group of people. During his time in Sakurasou, Sorata begins to realize that the other dorm mates are all above average and highly talented people, well all except for him that is. Throughout the series, you see our main character Sorata go through a number of funny, saddening, uplifting... See full review
Kotoura-San was somewhat of a disappointment and had so much lost potential is just saddening. The first three episodes gave us the impression that Kotoura-San will be more of a romantic dramatic with some comedy to ease the tension. Even though I thought highly of Kotoura-San in the beginning, this show began to deteriorate into a poorly done slap-stick comedy that can't even deliver good jokes in no time flat. The romance is barely there and what is there only includes that stereotypical romance with a bunch of blushing and... See full review
[email protected] is definitely an under appreciated anime, but I can't really blame some of the viewers that decided to drop this after the first few episodes. During the first two, three episodes, [email protected] was nothing but pure confusion and all you really thought while watching it was "what the fuck is this?!" After you get past episode three, everything really falls into place and you are given a touching, funny and overall intriguing story that you just can't look away from... See full review
Vividred Operation is directed by Kazuhiro Takamura (who also directed Strike Witches). Even though both anime were created by two different individuals, they're so much alike, you might of thought Vividred Operation was a third season of Strike Witches set in the future.

Amnesia was an anime I was honestly hoping will do good but was incredibly disappointed. The story revolves around an unnamed heroine who keeps jumping from one world to another by some unknown means. Some strange unknown being named Orion has apparently knocked into her soul and this causes the lost of her memories and is also why she keeps skipping in-between worlds. The supposed plot to this show is to recover her memories but throughout the series, there hasn't been a single instant of that happening and every episode seems... See full review
Story: (50/100) As you can guess from the title, I was expecting [K] to be the best anime this season for sure, but I just can't agree with my old self after seeing the whole series. Before you go off on me attempting to prove how my review is crap, just read the whole post first and then post your response.

Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! is a great anime, especially for those who can't get enough of romantic comedies. I must admit, the romantic part of the anime doesn't really kick in until about episode 7 or 8, but enjoy the hilarious antics of our main cast up until then. Our main duo consist of Togashi Yuuta who used to suffer from Chuunibyou (8th Grade Syndrome) and Takanashi Rikka who still has it. The other main cast consist of Kumin Tsuyuri, Mikoto Isshiki, Shinka Nibutani and my favorite character... See full review

Even though it is last on my list for a movie about vampires.
Dracula 2000 has the best origin because it uses more facts of history that we can relate to and the the legend of vampires' facts fit into it nicely. When the movie showed(to not spoil for anyone who hasn't seen it) where he came from and who he was. It was one of those feelings that you get when a Palpatine tells a young Anikin "We'll watch your career with great interest."

Bill Frisell offered another way to win the crowd with instrumental music under the punishing heat in front of the Fort: play John Lennon songs REALLY FUCKING LOUD. When I took a shortcut through the Quad and emerged on the Fort side on Saturday, Frisell and company were in the middle of a chugging, obliterating "Come Together." It sounded great. This really could have been gimmicky, but I don't think Frisell has ever played a dishonest note, and the album All We Are Saying. . .(Savoy Jazz) works so well because, as Jim Macnie pointed out in his Phoenix preview, Frisell isn't afraid to let the melodies do the heavy lifting.
At Newport the band dug into those great melodies and then some. With Greg Leisz's pedal steel and Jenny Scheinman's violin, Frisell was able to work vocal and guitar melodies on multiple levels, as well as take extra pleasure in that little Baroque-dance in the bridge of "In My Life." And when the finale of "Strawberry Fields Forever" called for a free psychedelic jam, they obliged.
Frisell was one of the "special guests" who kept showing up at other people's sets all weekend (overlapping personnel that allowed many angles on a single musician was one of the pleasures of this year's Newport). He found common ground with post-everything piano trio the Bad Plus on Saturday in the music of drummer and composer Paul Motian, who died last November. The seemingly free jams — Ethan Iverson's tone-row piano lines, bassist Reid Anderson's textured drones, drummer Dave King's rockist kick, and Frisell's array of sighs, whines, and pinging harmonics — would come together in grand, and moving, melodic crescendos. On Sunday, Frisell was Scheinman's guest, in a series of folk-wise fiddle-and-guitar improvisations that, especially in Frisell's "Rag," took on a very heady playfulness.
There were other wonderful quiet moments. Ken Peplowski — playing the Harbor stage with Anat Cohen and Evan Christopher in a trio of clarinettests — offered the rarely played Jelly Roll Morton tune "Why" as a duet with guitarist Howard Alden. Peplowski's soft notes floated on the damp air over the hushed crowd. Singer Gretchen Parlato led a bare-bones trio with singer/guitarist Becca Stevens and singer/guitarist Lionel Loueke that split the difference between Appalachian and African folk.
There were at least three bona-fide big bands this year: Darcy James Argue's Secret Society, the Maria Schneider Orchestra, and arranger Ryan Truesdell's Gil Evans Centennial Project. And believe me, these are orchestras, not swing dance bands. I was afraid that too much pastel harmony and no rhythmic drive would put me to sleep out in front of the Fort. But I caught Truesdell just as he was closing with a rabble-rousing multi-horn counterpoint on Horace Silver's "Sister Sadie" that sounded as much like Charles Mingus as Gil Evans. Schneider's undulating rhythms and beautiful solo work from flugelhornist Ingrid Jensen and saxophonists Scott Robinson and Steve Wilson lifted her band. And Argue's clockwork rhythms and orchestral detail threatened to become a Stravinsky concerto (I would not have complained). In a piece he introduced as part of a new suite about the building of a giant carousel in Brooklyn, a flamenco dance eventually gave way to a poignant long-toned theme that was worth the price of admission.

RISE/M-1 ~Infinity~ Full Fight Card and Preview
- Written by Dave Walsh
About a month ago, RISE and M-1 announced a co-promoted event featuring stars Masahiro Yamamoto, Koji Yoshimoto, Erika Kamimura, Sun Hyun Lee and others. The fight announcements trickled out one by one over the course of the past few weeks and I was waiting for the matchups to finally be set before putting together a post and now, less than a week away, the fight card is set and it looks very good.
Headlining the event is RISE 65kg champion Koji Yoshimoto taking on rising Dutch-Armenian star Raz Sarkisjan. Yoshimoto is currently riding a 4-fight win streak, most recently defending his title against Yasuomi Soda. Sarkisjan first made a name for himself with a decision win over Masaaki Noiri at the Hoost Cup back in May, a fight which saw both fighters on the canvas. Unfortunately, he followed that up with a loss at It's Showtime Brazil to Marcus Vinicius earlier this month. Should Sarkisjan bring the power he brought to
In the co-main event, It's Showtime 61kg champ Masahiro Yamamoto will be taking on Mansour Yaqubi. Yamamoto comes into this fight on a 5 fight win streak, but has not fought since winning the It's Showtime title from Javier Hernandez in July. Yaqubi trains out of the same gym as Raz Sarkisjan and will be looking to throw a wrench in the Lightweight picture. Yamamoto has to be the favorite here, but of course, there is a chance Yaqubi could shock everyone.
At 55kg, Shooto Flyweight champion Mikihito Yamagami returns to RISE to take on top ranked Dyki. Yamagami first debuted in RISE in 2009, where he picked up his only win in the 55kg RISING Rookies Cup. Since, he fought to a draw, was knocked out by prospect Seiya Rokukawa and, most recently, dropped a decision to former 55kg champion KENJI, but not without giving him a tough fight. In MMA, he has won 4 in a row, including a 41 second KO of Junji Ikoma to win the Shooto Flyweight title and a 2nd round submission of Junji Ito to defend it. Since KENJI's departure from the sport, Dyki has forcefully claimed his top spot in RISE, scoring three straight wins over Hiroaki Mizuhara, Ariaki Okada and most recently knocking out MA Kick Bantamweight champion Takashi Ohno. Had KENJI stayed in kickboxing, Dyki would have earned a rematch by now. Should he come out on top here, he should either be slotted for a vacant title match or placed in another 4-man tournament, which he would likely be favored to win considering RISE's talent pool at 55kg.
At 63.5kg, top Korean fighter Sun Hyun Lee takes on Buakaw Weerasakreck in the only RISE vs M-1 fight of the card. After losing a superfight to 65kg champion Koji Yoshimoto at RISE 85, Lee has won three straight fights in RISE, defeating 63kg champion Yuki and top contenders Yuto Watanabe and Shohei Asahara. Lee was supposed to face Hiroshi Mizumachi instead of Asahara for a title shot, but I assume he will still get that shot sometime next year and look to increase his stock greatly after Yuki's big win over Javier Hernandez. After starting 2012 with three straight wins, two by TKO, Buakaw moved up to 67kg to face WPMF Japan Welterweight champion T-98, but lost by 3rd round TKO. Since, he has fought once, drawing Shunsuke Oishi earlier this month.
At 61kg, WPMF and WBC Japan Lightweight champion Yosuke Mizuochi takes on Nong'an Sasiprapa. This fight is either for the WPMF World Lightweight title or the right to face Sagetdao Petpayathai, who won the title back in July. Mizuochi has won 7 of his last 8, including winning the WPMF Japan title in a 4-man tournament earlier this year and most recently defeating Keijiro Miyakoshi for the WBC Japan Lightweight title.
In a bout for the vacant WPMF Women's World Mini-Flyweight title, Erika Kamimura faces
At 58kg, Rajadamnern Stadium Featherweight champion Sirimongkon P.K. MuayThai takes on Yusuke Shimizu.
At 67kg, Kaew Fairtex faces Satoshi Taniguchi. Kaew is 2-0 in
At 59.5kg, Chang Hyun Lee returns to competition against WPMF Japan #1 ranked Featherweight Daiki Nagashima. Like his teammate Sun Hyun, Chang Hyun Lee got his big break against a rising Japanese star in K-1, defeating Genji Umeno in October in one of the best fights of the year. Nagashima is 3-1 on the year, avenging a 2011 loss to Yuji Umehara, but failing to avenge his other 2011 loss with a grueling decision loss to Yosuke Morii.
Finally, former Shootboxing Women's Flyweight champion Ai Takahashi takes on Itsuka. Since defeating Rena last June, Takahashi is just 1-2 with a pair of losses to Mizuki Inoue, who has overtaken her at this weight. She needs a win here to stay relevant. Itsuka has lost 3 in a row since a win over Tomoko SP last year.

Noted for its fine Deep South-influenced barbecue food (the beef ribs really are outstanding), this De Beauvoir spot is a prime place to settle down for a no-nonsense session of meat, beans and beer. Before success forced Beavertown brewery up to larger premises in Tottenham Hale (via Hackney Wick), it started life here, and as official taproom there's a focus on its own wares (from the always-dependable Gamma Ray APA and exceptional Neck Oil Session IPA, at 4.3 percent the afternoon drinker's friend). Many Beavertown brews are canned too, which suits Duke's sticky-fingered vibe perfectly. It's small wonder Duke's Brew regularly has a queue.

We found this place on Easter Bank Holiday Monday, I have to say from the moment we walked through the door we fell in love with the place, the vibe, the staff, and OMG the food is 10 out of 10, I am the most fussiest eater and I'm a veggie, I cleared my plate something I never do but you just cant stop eating, you cannot and I mean cannot fault this place, the owner is a lady called Hanna and when I say the customer service is awesome, the staff are bang on, they don't mess about, so attentive, anyone who leaves a negative review must be bonkers, I eat in the best of places, this pees all over fine dining, the food is made with love, its good wholesome grub, it will now be a regular place for us, and we have already booked and bringing friends to enjoy a fun night there. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE!
The 20% off Mon and Tue off is not accepted by them unless its a 6pm booking.
We went last night and the manager argued with us regarding the 20% off which was completely unprofessional since they tweeted yesterday that if you book anytime til 7pm you get 20% off. Perhaps the management should look into this and resolve it rather than arguing with your customer and saying 'It costs me money giving you the discount'.
Food was lovely but experience was tainted by the manager on Tuesday 24th June 2014.
Been visiting this restaurant for the past 3 years for every family birthday and the food is consistently very good. Staff are always very friendly and welcoming too.
Hmmm, I'm really torn about this place; I've been here twice now with mixed success.
The first time I had the pork ribs; an absolute must-try and probably some of the best I've ever had, but the second time I had the pulled pork and it was really disappointing - the BBQ sauce used was just too sharp and the pork itself was quite stodgy.
I went last night with family and had a great time! The service was great, we were served by a lovely lady. The Ribs were amazing, the quiality of meat was fantastic. The atmosphere was good and we had a good time. Would highly recomdend.
Fast food too pricey. Paying a bill of £140 for a thanksgiving dinner between 3 to be kicked off the table after 90 minutes? We ordered 3 Thanksgiving mains at £20-£25 a head, 1 starter, 1 side and 1 dessert. Waiting staff should perhaps have reminded us that we would have to vacate our table before taking the order for the second bottle of wine, which they took their time bringing to us (we had to ask the waiter twice) and which we had to finish in a crowded corner by the bar. They brought the bill, chucked us off the table and shuffled us to the corner, very much a 'we take the money, now do one' scenario!! The food was tasty, but expensive for what it was, and at that price you expect on an 'event' night to be allowed to wind up your meal in an appropriate manner. This ending put a bad taste in all our mouths, after what had been up to that point, an enjoyable relaxed evening. We could have eaten at, for example The Rivington, spent less and been allowed to finish our meal properly. I am bored of these pubs with kitchens, masquerading as restaurants in this area, charging over the odds for inconsistent offerings and erratic service and hospitality. 90 minutes dinning for the price of a weeks rent , no thanks
Having just got back from the states I fancied some BBQ..... The ribs were dry but still ok. I still think Pitt Que is by far the best in london but having lived in the Deep South even Pitt Que would only be very basic BBQ in the states! Also BBQ food in the states is cheap, for $15 dollars you can eat like a pig!
Had a great family night out at Duke's this June. The food was good: straightforward, honest, tasty and well cooked - whether the meaty options (we tried ribs, burgers and steaks) or the vegetarian choice (mushroom and haloumi burgers, really delicious). Our orders were taken efficiently, the food arrived quickly, and throughout the evening we were struck by the friendliness, helpfulness and enthusiasm of the bar and serving staff, all of whom gave the impression (not the case at a lot of other London restaurants we've been to) of actually enjoying their work, despite the fact that it was an extremely busy Friday evening. I've subsequently read other reviews of this restaurant, some of which complain about the price of the food. I can't agree with that. We all thought the bill was pretty reasonable for a London restaurant - and in any case it's not just the food and drink you're paying for at Duke's, it's the atmosphere: nicely informal and relaxed, but still tightly run. Apart from the food, there's the beer too - which is well worth travelling the extra mile for. In addition to some decent wine, we ordered two racks of 'thirds' so that we could sample a few of the many on offer, several of them produced by the Beavertown micro-brewery which is under the same ownership as the restaurant. Having decided on our individual favourites (Gamma Ray, Neck Oil and Shuffled Deck all going down particularly well) pints of the same promptly arrived and added to the general merriment. We're a mixed bunch: ages ranging from 18 to 67, a mix of carnivores, veggies and' fish veggies', but we all came away equally happy with our choice of venue. We'll definitely be going back to Duke's again soon: lots more food and beer options still to explore!
Bye bye burgers – there's a new American trend in town and boy, do I like it. Slowly gaining momentum since the opening of Pitt Cue back in early 2012 BBQ'ing, smoking and grilling has recently exploded onto the food scene thanks to new kids on the block The Rotary Bar & Diner, John Salt and Carbon. Duke's Brew and Que however has been quietly serving up these deep-south delights for many months now and I finally got round to checking them out this week – I only wish I'd have gone sooner. Nestled down a rather unassuming road in nouveau-trendy but old-school grotty Haggerston, Duke's (minus the aroma of sizzling meat that fills the air outside) seems like your typical east-end boozer. Once inside, the dining-room-come-bar is pleasantly full but not overcrowded and has a somewhat unpretentious vibe that is both welcoming and friendly. A quaint shabby-chic bar adorned with fairy lights is situated on the back wall and houses an impressive list of beers with several brewed on site. Forward thinking cocktails, predominantly mezcal and bourbon based are well executed and the menu even features my Milk & Honey favourite, a whisky 'Penicillin'. No complaints thus far. Meat, meat and more meat is the name of the game when it comes to the food. Ribs over the past ten years, have undoubtedly acquired a bad rep – as a nation we've become all too familiar with the likes of TGI Friday's and the Morrison's hot-counter mass producing meatless racks of bones slathered in sickly-sweet, additive laced sauce. Duke's however, with its seriously authentic and specially imported Oklahoma smoker is here to change all that. Being a hardened menu-Nazi, hating anyone ordering the same as me and wanting to try everything – I take full advantage of the large group I'm with and order pretty much one of everything on the minimal yet focused menu. Food arrives on traditional southern-style silver trays topped with greased paper and sides of slaw, pickled red-onion and hot dip arrive with each dish. The ribs were bone-suckingly good and a humongous Flintstone-esque beef rib tasted just as good as it looked, the tender meat flaked effortlessly from the bone and the buttery flesh with delicate ribbons of fat almost melted when it touched the tongue. Pork ribs were equally tender but had a slightly charred crust giving them more of a crunch – the spicy barbeque marinade gave them a welcome kiss of traditional southern flavour without being overpowering. A full rack of smoky baby back ribs coated with a sticky sauce had surprisingly generous amounts of meat on the miniature bones – and I devoured every last morsel, they were gorgeous. Sides of tangy chicken wings, smokey beans with nuggets of pork and chilli cheese fries provided the perfect accoutrements to our southern feast. The food was not faultless however, the burgers were OK but I've had better elsewhere, the patty was on the crumbly side and was slightly overcooked, the mac 'n' cheese was underwhelming dry and the chilli lacked heat – it seems Duke's forte is certainly on the grill. This aside, our plates were cleared leaving nothing but stripped bones, sticky fingers and stained shirts – a triumph some may say. Although it's easy to compare Duke's to the legendary rib masters Pitt Cue in Soho it must be taken into consideration that you don't have to stand in the cold for 2 hours for the pleasure of eating here, and the food is very nearly just as good. The service was impeccable and the prices reasonable enough (warning: few cocktails may change just how reasonable). I wouldn't recommend taking a first date here, unless he/she doesn't mind getting a bit dirty but if you're with a big group of friends who like beer and like a BBQ I couldn't think of a better place to while away a good few hours. Get stuck in.
A nice friendly attitude of the waiters was good but completely agree with one comment below that it is over-priced. 40 notes for two burgers and two beers is eye-popping. The food was nice but it was by far in the top list of burgers i would have in London (done medium when we asked for medium-rare also). I have had the ribs before here a previous time and they are actually fantastic but this restaurant is not value-for-money in anyway, especially when you consider the lower rental costs they must be paying for its out of the way location.
Having recently moved to the area I was keen to try this joint out. Casually strolling in at 9pm on a Tuesday I was told to wait at the bar for a table. I was surprised how busy such a local restaurant could be! The atmosphere is great, service is great and the food was great. The only downside is the price. We didn't think the bill would be £80 for a few burgers and a couple of pints. Due to this the joint falls out of the "cheap & cheerful " category and sits more comfortably in the " Posh-Pub " department. Nevertheless a great place.
I was highly excited about visiting Dukes Brew & Que after reading various reviews of this much hyped East London restaurant, the latest to jump on the BBQ cusine bandwagon. As a huge fan and regular visitor to Pitt Cue co, Bodeans, Chicago Rib Shack, and other established purveyors of fine rib and pork goodness, I arrived with justifiably high expectations, which only served to exacerbate how badly I was let down by the distinctly sub-par quality of the food we experienced at Dukes last night. For the relatively high pricing (e.g. £14.95 for one beef rib, with no sides except for a measly portion of very average slaw) you would expect premium quality, but alas, the beef rib was tough, gristly, and very underwhelming. We were told by the waiter that the beef rib typically weighs in around 500gms including bone, with around 250-300gms of meat, but in reality after removing the fat and gristle, there cant have been any more than 150-200 gms of edible beef. The pork ribs (circa £14 for two medium sized ribs, again served with just a tiny portion of slaw) were a bit better, but still miles off the standard delivered regularly by the aforementioned dining establishments. The pulled pork was the best of the lot we tried, but still far below expectations, and having cooked this regularly myself, I am well aware it is a dish that is actually quite hard to screw up, so Im not offering much credit for the fact it was relatively less disappointing as the ribs were. The house beer was definitely the high point of the night, but unfortunately nowhere near enough to entice me to traipse all the way out to Haggerston again for a return visit. Very disappointing dining experience. Save your time and money, and head for somewhere else.
Dukes has a lovely warm atmosphere, great drinks and beer menu but unfortunately the food was distinctly average. the restaurant has so much potential but it lacks in truly serving up southern bbq classics. I visited dukes last night and had the beef ribs. If these were smoked low and slow properly then the meat should have fallen from the bone, instead it was chewy and tough. all in all a disappointing visit and it has nothing on Pitted Que!
Really had a superb time here. We could barely finish our sides after the ribs, although somehow managed to find room for cheesecake and brownie. Beef ribs were tender and sticky and the pork just fell off the bone. Staff really very friendly and a truly insurmountable selection of drink between imports, craft beers, rums and tequilas. I can't seem spot a three star review on here (people seem to either love it or be disappointed) and there're a couple that say they got tough ribs - got speaking with the staff about this and it's clear they're very happy to replace if there's an issue. Highly recommended.
Finest ale in London! Fabulous beer bottles (love the Beavertown Brewery Gamma Ray APA). Stunning ribs. Purposeful and friendly service.
Outstanding restaurant, both in terms of atmosphere and food. The beef ribs were as big as my ankles - utterly succulent and cooked to perfection. I'd thoroughly recommend the scrumpy cider too.
This eve on my visit it was 3rd time in a row that I was told that the beef's ribs were not available. Come on..how can you run out of your best and popular dish on Monday dinner at 7.00pm with the restaurant half empty!!! This is really an issue!The guy at the door was vey efficient with very good manner, him is the one receiving my only star for you guys. After been seated on a table which we could use for only an hour, the most rudest waitress on earth just jumped on us asking for drinks (we still have our coats on..) and when I pointed that we weren't ready she just barked off that because we only have 50 minutes we have to hurry up!! twice...I can eat a 6 courses meal in 50 min..I am Italian..after that we left immediately and we would never never go back. Ciao.
I can't believe this place even comes anywhere near the top of the list! Went there in September on my birthday, spurred on by the TimeOut review of the ribs - what a mistake! We were served the toughest, 2-inch wide, old beef ribs that I eventually gave up tying to eat. I can only presume this was a cost saving exercises by the restaurant, serving elderly cattle ribs (tell by the size) rather than tender young beef ribs. I couldn't chew what I eventually managed to rip off the bone, appalling. I can only presume the reviewer was treated to the 'real deal', but I certainly wouldn't go back nor recommend the place! Service was good, nice surroundings and atmosphere, but not one of the three serving staff asked if we had enjoyed the meal, which speaks volumes as far as I'm concerned. Wanted to enjoy the place, failed miserably!
Just an awesome place. Great meat - beef ribs are INCREDIBLE. So much awesome beer and barstaff that really know their stuff and are willing to chat to you about it if you fancy. I think to truly appreciate this place you need to like beer and find microbrewery culture really fascinating. Nice decor, nice bathrooms (important!). Service from our waitress but a bit meh but I'm still giving it 5 stars because y'know, she was ok and the food, drinks, barstaff service and atmosphere were all superb. One of my favourites.
Massive beef ribs - and I mean ENORMOUS - but, sadly, hugely tasteless. Pork ribs, on the other hand, were fantastic. Sides were all fried, and meal felt somewhat unbalanced though we could have ordered better I suppose. Be prepared for A LOT of tattoo-ed trendies. With beards.
Great food and drinks. Beef ribs and pork sliders where seriously great. but service very rude which was disappointing. You know it's bad when you seriously consider asking them to deduct the service charge from the bill.
Just got back home from Dukes. Its a saturday night and i felt compelled to write just what a bad experience we had. The service was initially ok- however 2 of our cocktails were somewhat reminiscent of nail varnish remover so we sent them back. Big mistake. We were interrogated by 3 members of staff after these 2 cocktails were still on the bill- and it was only after further discussion that the drinks were finally removed. The food was average. Portions suitable for fred flintstone. Nothing to qrite home about. Wont be going up. The management have a lot to learn.
We really enjoyed our meal here. It's relaxed and friendly with super service and it's own micro brewery! We had a great meal and lots of fun. The food was excellent. It combines a BBQ southern american approach to the food with a range of local and brewed on the premises ales. We didn't have the ribs it is becoming famous for but a Pork Chop special and the classic burger. Both mains were excellent. The puddings were fab too. The waitress was lovely, knowledgeable and charming. She recommended ales and cocktails all of which were excellent. Yes it is busy but the noise levels are not too loud. We went as a couple and could here each others conversation.
Don't bother with the breakfast here, has potential, someone in the kitchen is clearly trying to save money by serving up stale muffins fake maple syrup and just generally cutting corners. This place is just for people who don't know any better but for me food quality comes first. Don't let the appearances fool you, probably fine for a drink and some bar snacks....
I'm not entirely sure why there are so many negative reviews about this place. Service was prompt (without being pushy), extremely well mannered and, when it came to the ales, knowledgeable. The ambience is lively without being loud. I opted for the beef ribs. One of them was a little fatty on top but, on the whole, they were marvellous. Tender, juicy and not cooked to the right level (I see some people complaining about them being undercooked - do they actually enjoy tasting meat?!) The sides were excellent - full marks the beans! Then there are the pork sliders. Utter perfection. Do not miss out on these little badboys! A great selection of ales, both from the US and the UK, which are stored at the right temperature and reasonably priced. Definitely recommended.
Rudest front-of-house - genuinely not sure what this place thinks it is? We walked in on a Sunday, and even though the place was half-empty we were told we couldn't get a seat as they had a backlog in the kitchen and reservations. We spotted some friends at a table and decided to walk over to say hello, when the front-of-house chick marched us out of there, telling us very clearly there was no space for us. Never again.
Went to Duke's on Sunday with my girlfriend ordered Ribs and steak. Food took more then 3mins to arrive and the Ribs turned out to be very chewy and the steak was suppose to be a sirloin but ended up being more chewier then a normal sirloin. We had been there previously and had our food burnt but we thought to give them a second chance but we were sorely disappointed. Service was terrible when went to the toilet, the waitress without asking if I was finished just took away my plate, when complained to the manager his attitude was very poor and wouldn't listen to us. He offered no compensation for the dis service. Avoid at all costs.
so lucky to finally have a nice american bbq joint here in london.
What a rip off.Ate there and was served...5 skinny ribs.. a meal ?....come on guys was the hog anorexic ?. If you wont nibble and go there, this is for you...but.... If you want to eat....pass this rip off joint ...walk on by.....You WILL get better value and service at the local greasy spoon and come away with change in your pocket and... also not insulted by the oh so precious staff supposedly serving you. You pay the price, you make the choice ! p.s.... Has Granny left you a nice pile...coz..... if not don't order bottled water...just a tip.
Meh. That's all really, just a meh. Not bad, far from great. First disappointment was not having the "que" on during the day although, that was my fault for not checking first but to be fair, I just presumed that a place called Brew & Que would always have both of those elements. The breakfast was tasty though. Then there was our waiter who seemed utterly desperate for us to order. 3 times he approached our table asking us if we were ready to order and 3 times we told him we were still waiting for one of our friends to arrive. "The kitchen closes at 3.30" we were told, it was only 2.30, weird. When she did arrive, she was barely allowed to take her seat when he was back at our table demanding our order, talk about feeling rushed! After we'd all eaten, we were all sitting chatting, having a few drinks when we were told our table was reserved for half an hours time, fair enough, could we move to another table, we asked, no, they're pretty much all reserved we were told. Now, I don't have an issue with tables being reserved, but we should have been told this when we sat down or they should have tried to find us another table. It felt like they didn't care whether we stayed or left, they're the new cool kids on the block and they're going to be busy, customer service not required. Overall, I felt this place was a little too cool for school, all style and little substance. Shame, cos I'd really been looking forward to going and I had been the one to suggest it to all my friends so I left feeling very disappointed in the experience as a whole.
I was happy to see a new bbq joint in London as it is one area that is highly lacking. We tried everything as a menu and have to say the best part was the beans. The meat was very tough and gristly with not much flavour. Seems like something was lacking in the rub. It maybe the fact that we have spent time in Lockhart tasting some of the best bbq that we might be expecting to much. Maybe with time it will get better but allot of work will be needed for us to go back.
Went on a Tuesday night with 3 friends. We all ordered Ribs and one had a steak; of the 4 plates that arrived, one dish was cold and another was overdone. We asked for some English mustard and they brought an empty bottle. The manager's explanation was "they just don't care tonight" - referring to the kitchen. Whilst his honesty was refreshing, he failed to offer any compensation. Wouldn't go back because if you are only going to offer 5 or 6 dishes and you're 'known' for your Ribs then they should be great and ours were not...
nice vibe, average food my ribs were so tough and dry it was hard to chew. flavor was nice. The portion was on the smaller side considering how much they are charging. Pitt Cue is still & definitely the winner in London town.
Food was good, but the service shocking, waited 15 mins for our drinks order before asking another waiter for it, finally managed to order (Sunday Brunch- BBQ omelette very good) then again had to ask twice for the bill before giving up and standing at the till point to pay.
Very good food. The staff it was efficient and attentive. I will def go back for more beef's ribs!! Thank you.
Check out the beef ribs & trust the menu's suggestion of not smothering the meat in sauce- although you have to try a little! Brunch, dinner & drinks are great here: Check out the Beavertown 8ball- needs to be tasted to be believed! Don't tell too many people tho- it's hard enough to get a table..
Tried this for the first time last night and found it fantastic. I had the sliders, which were very good, but also was gifted a surplus pork rib from a friend, which was even better. The sides are also great (we had chips, spinach and okra: the okra was particularly tasty). Also really enjoyed the home brew. Unfortunately not on tap on the night we were there, but had a bottle of the Beavertown 8ball and it was delicious. I barely noticed the decor (other than a pram with moustachio'd baby, which I rather liked) - but the feel of the room was a nice mixture of bright and cosy even on a rather dank May evening. The service was excellent too: fast but friendly and attentive. However, we ate at 6.30pm on a Wednesday (they were fully booked at more normal times), so I can't speak for weekends and evenings. Will definitely be back.
Pickles and okra fritters:not a single pickle on sight in that dish. They replaced our order but without sauce, not much flavour.My burger was rare yet dry with a heavily meaty aftertaste. Pork ribs were too fatty and not cooked enough. Generally rather bland food, incl their sauces. Good coctails
The beer is really great, the staff friendly and there's a good atmosphere. The food is fine, not mind-blowing but tasty, I went for the pulled pork sliders and chips and my friend had the burger. The sliders were a little on the cold side, and didn't pack much flavour, I would have liked some more spice coming through and the fried gherkin - which should be the highlight - was lost. My friend felt that the burger didn't match Meatliquor. The big problem came at the end of the meal, we'd booked an early friday reservation, and just as we were finishing off our food... we weren't being leisurely, our bill arrived... Not sure what they would have done if we had wanted dessert. Just as we finished our food... we still had drinks to finish we were asked to pay and move to the bar. This was fine, only as we waited at the bar, which is rather small, we saw that no one else was seated at our table. My friend placed her half full glass of cider on the bar for just one moment, and as she turned back to her drink we found that it had vanished... clearly thrown away. We felt so let down and deflated that we just left. It's certainly not as good as it could be.
Great food, wonderful service and awesome beers. The only star I take away is for slightly cold ribs, but I still ate em with vigour. Will be even better when they have their full range of their own beers too, the Rye IPA I am sure will be amazing.
RIbs, ribs, ribs, ribs, ribs.... too good
Just...Wow. Great beers on offer and the food was superb. Beautifully smoked beef ribs that put Bodeans to shame (and I love Bodeans). Service was friendly and relaxed. Decor worked perfectly, themed well giving an authentic atmosphere without passing over into tacky, all accompanied with a good choice of background music. Looking forward to returning.
Great beers. Haven't tried food yet but prices are very high considering they've only just opened. Significantly higher than Pitt Cue Co and I cannot imagine the quality of the food will be close to theirs yet. Would have appreciated lower prices whilst their perfecting the menu.
Loved the beers on offer and thought the service was great too, plenty of charm. Not the place for a quiet meal but great for a get together. Wouldn't nock the food either, the Mini Macs get my vote
Impressed by the gir running the dinning room. I ordered a burger yet when the ribs came out I realised my mistake. To my suprise she brought out a big rib for me. Ditch the burgers guys, your ribs are brilliant and service a lesson to others. Downs: Decor a bit by the hipster pub/bar numbers and their brewery some way off the standard of fair selection of craft beers they serve. Well worth a visit.
Great food and home brew, however, attention needs to be paid to service and making sure the place is not over crowded. I took my BF on Sunday and our meal was spoilt within 2 minutes of getting in the door by the waitress who told us that the table was on a one hour return... something that should have been said at the time of booking. Overall, the ribs are to die for but the service is very "Dalston"....

New Texas Dog Bill Takes Aim at Sporting Dog Owners
Posted on March 8, 2013
Just 20 months ago, the Texas legislature passed sweeping new laws regulating dog breeders in the state. Now, animal rights and anti-hunting forces are back for more.
Texas House Bill 1449, sponsored by Representative John Kruempel (R-Seguin), would classify many sporting dog and hobby breeders as dog dealers. Despite an exemption in the 2011 law, sporting dog owners who produce and sell as little as two litters of dogs (21) in a year once again could find themselves regulated.
Under the bill, dog dealers would be required to:
Allow warrantless and unannounced government inspections of areas where dogs are kept, including the owners home if dogs are kept indoors.
Obtain a state license in order to breed and sell their sporting dogs.
Follow new state mandated standards of care for dogs, including new housing and enclosure requirements.
Have a veterinarian examine each dog before it can be sold.
Be prohibited from selling a dog less than 8 weeks of age. Many sporting dog breeders sell dogs before they reach 8 weeks old (and in some cases before they are even born). Typically, these dogs are not delivered to the new owner until the dog is old enough to be on its own.
In 2011, despite an outpouring of opposition from sporting and other dog owner organizations, the Texas legislature passed House Bill 1451. The bill placed many unnecessary regulations on dog owners who breed dogs. Fortunately, sporting dog owners were exempted from the bill.
Despite that exemption, newly introduced House Bill 1449 seeks to regulate those same individuals who were exempted from the 2011 bill.
This bill is a back door attempt to regulate dog owners, like those owning sporting dogs, who werent regulated in the 2011 bill by calling them dealers, said Jeremy Rine, U.S. Sportsmens Alliance in-house counsel. Animal rights groups in Texas will not be happy until dog breeders are run out of existence. Sportsmen and sporting dog owners need to contact their state representatives today to make sure this bill isnt passed.
The bill is currently pending in the House Committee on Licensing and Administrative Procedures.
Take Action! Texas sportsmen should contact their state representatives today and ask them to oppose House Bill 1449. Visit USSAs Legislative Action Center to find your state representatives contact information.

First solo flight! It's a strange notion, being by yourself in an airplane that's actually flying.
Fortunately the traditional bucket of water over the head did not follow, as it was about -12C in Ottawa today, and I would have had to have been taken to the hospital for thawing.

School is going good.
I'm learning a lot about software by using it every day and coding when I can, but I don't really have the time to manage projects in an organized way as I would like to.
I'm going to go home this weekend, I think.
syntaxpolice is slackering in his postings.
I have lots of ideas, and there's lots going on but, like I said, I can't really write about it right now.
Be excited for me.
Love ralf.

Yamaha has a great thing going with its Raptor 700R sport ATV. The current market has nothing that matches up head-to-head with its big-bore engine, performance suspension and straight-axle rear end. MotoUSA knows firsthand how popular this quad is with recreational riders. We regularly see the big Yammie roaming trails and strafing the sand dunes � both of which are its natural environments. Yamaha tweaked its big-bore sport ATV for 2013 to keep the Raptor 700R at the top of the sport segment, and we headed to Central Oregon for a trail ride on the updated quad.
The primary changes for MY13 are styling and ergonomics. The front end of the ATV looks and feels different. Yamaha�s recognizable Raptor grill retains its traditional styling but has a few tweaks. Its front fenders have been moved forward 50mm to allow more room in the saddle, and our 6�0� test rider never felt his knees come into contact regardless of body position or level of aggressive riding. Yamaha made this adjustment in response to rider surveys which identified typical Raptor pilots as larger, heavier and desiring additional comfort. The seat is extremely comfortable. We�d like it to have the same flared shape as the YFZ450R as it is possible to feel the edge of the seat base at extreme leans, but the foam density is suitable for all-day riding.
One thing riders won�t notice on the front end is the digital speedometer. Yamaha removed the computer system this year in order to cut down on costs. We never noticed it missing during our ride and the only time we really used it in the past anyway was for the trip meter function. There are still warning lights in front of the handlebars, but this is one of the reasons that the MSRP dropped $300 ($8099) for the 700R and $200 ($8799) for the 700R SE � a worthy tradeoff in our minds.
gone and a new set of Maxxis tires provides traction. The steel and aluminum chassis is powdercoated a silver/gray color which matches the engine. The frame makes use of aluminum rear sections and a steel front section for balanced rigidity and weight. Yamaha shod its big straight-axle quad with new tires. It traded out the old Dunlops for a new set of Maxxis tires. The tread pattern provides excellent traction and a stiffer sidewall limits roll and maintains predictable sliding.
We rode the Raptor on dry Oregon trails and sharp volcanic rocks and never had an issue with the front end pushing or the chassis getting unsettled. The front end is so responsive that it takes a bit of care when lofting the front end through whoops and then setting it down at speed. If the handlebars are angled then the ATV is going to immediately follow them. This makes it very easy to be precise when navigating tight trees. The rear tires have great bite on acceleration and braking, but the front treads were our favorite upgrade.
A twin-piston rear brake caliper comes straight off the YFZ450R, replacing the old single-pot binder and providing plenty of power. Yamaha claims the new brake is targeted at enhancing the rider�s feel at the lever more than boosting outright braking power. After riding the 700R on dry, slippery terrain, we have to agree that the caliper does allow a great deal of control, even when traction is minimal. Yamaha also gets the benefit of sharing common parts between models for quality control and price reduction.
The 700R still uses its proven fuel-injected single cylinder engine, the powerplant completely unchanged for 2013. The big piston thumps inside the 102 x 84mm bore and stroke with a 9.2:1 compression ratio. It�s anything but a slow-revving big-bore. Yamaha introduced needle bearing rocker arms in 2006 which helped drop friction by 50% over the previous model. What we have today is a smooth but quick-revving powerplant that oozes torque across the rpm range. Dual counterbalancers keep it smooth and riding the Raptor is a pleasant experience. It�s more than willing to chug along lazily or wick up the pace and do work with its five-speed transmission. The trails at our ride location were nearly perfect for third gear all day long. A few long stretches allowed fourth and heading for gravel roads maxed top speed in fifth. The tranny shifts without issue and gearing is pretty good. The gap between third and fourth is a bit tall at times, but the powerful engine is more than capable of pulling a tall cog. Having reverse in the gearbox is a nice addition as well. At a claimed 422 pounds (wet), having to muscle the 700R in a bind isn�t ideal.
Fuel injection takes the hassle out of fueling at any altitude. Our ride site at East Fort Rock OHV area outside of Bend, Oregon ranged from approximately 4400-6400 feet of elevation. We never had to worry about the altitude with convenient fuel injection. Having the ability to jaunt over to the coast and shred the dunes without swapping jets is priceless, and the EFI system is one of the most important things to Raptor owners, according to a Yamaha study.
In addition to the blue/white Raptor 700R and Special Edition, Yamaha also offers a Raptor 700. This machine is a more affordable version of the 700R which is made possible by using lower-spec suspension. The front shocks are non-piggyback designs without compression or rebound adjustment. The rear is the same shock as used on the R model but without the compression and rebound adjustment. Another difference is the front brake lever which is fixed-position. Buyers will get two sets of graphics to choose from and a very palatable pricetag of $7699. Yamaha only let us saddle up the R model, but the 2013 Raptors are heavy-duty fun and offer unique performance in the sport quad market. Another budget-friendly option creates an even wider spread of Yamaha sport ATVs. Families can choose from the Raptor 90, 125, 250, 350, 700, 700R and 700R SE, plus the YFZ450 and YFZ450R. These models provide something for everyone with pricetags ranging from $2699 to $8799.
There haven�t been a huge amount of changes to the Raptor, but the ones that were made for �13 are important for several reasons. First off, it demonstrates Yamaha�s ongoing dedication to the big-bore sport ATV. In challenging economic times, seeing smart upgrades is important for consumers. Also, the Raptor 700 and 700R are now assembled in the USA., which shows the Japanese giant�s emphasis on the American market. Plenty of OEMs are moving production facilities outside of the US, but Yamaha has been investing in the Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corp of America (YMMC), located in Newnan, Georgia, for the past decade. The Rhino UTV and many utility ATVs have been assembled in Georgia for years, but since 2010 Yamaha has been implementing the ATV Production Transfer Strategy. Now all of the 4x4 quads and SxS production are at YMCC, and the Raptor 700R is the first sport ATV built in America. And finally, the introduction of the Raptor 700 and the cost-saving moves with the 700R and SE models is proof that the move to YMMC has helped Yamaha connect to American riders, listening to what they value and implementing that with new model designs.
The Raptor 700R is as amazing as ever. Yamaha has every right to be proud of its new production strategy and has found a way to offer improved performance for less price. We�re looking forward to a chance to sample the new 700, but the king of the Raptor family is still one of the best all-around sport ATVs available in any shape or size.

We talk about ways of staying in one place during our hunts and not giving up on a area to soon. I am afraid the last two times out for me this week had me texting and updating my facebook status while leaning against a tree.
Like it or not, I think the future hunters (like our kids) won't like the idea of taking up the sport if it means leaving the cell phone at home.
Now if I could just get my phone in camo.

Abbott's catheter-based MitraClip therapy gets US FDA approval for treating mitral regurgitation (MR)
Singapore: Abbott's catheter-based MitraClip therapy has received US FDA approval for providing physicians a treatment option for patients suffering from mitral regurgitation (MR).
MitraClip device has been approved for patients with significant symptomatic degenerative MR, who are at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery. Degenerative MR is a type of MR caused by an anatomic defect of the mitral valve of the heart. Prohibitive risk is determined by the clinical judgment of a heart team due to the presence of one or more documented surgical risk factors.
MR is a debilitating, progressive and life-threatening disease in which a leaky mitral valve causes a backward flow of blood in the heart. The condition can raise the risk of irregular heartbeats, stroke, and heart failure, which can be deadly. Mitral regurgitation is common, affecting more than 4 million Americans, nearly one in 10 people aged 75 and above. Open heart mitral valve surgery is the standard-of-care treatment, but many patients are at prohibitive risk for an invasive procedure. Medications for the condition are limited to symptom management and do not stop the progression of the disease.
"As cardiac surgeons, we see patients with severe mitral regurgitation who we can technically operate on but who are just too frail or sick to survive mitral valve surgery with a reasonable risk and quality of life," said Mr Michael Mack, director, cardiovascular research and cardiovascular medicine and director of cardiovascular surgery at Baylor HealthCare System in Dallas, US. "With the MitraClip system, heart teams now have a catheter-based, less-invasive treatment option that can help patients who cannot withstand surgery regain their quality of life.
"MitraClip is a breakthrough in the treatment of severe mitral regurgitation, a condition that is progressive and causes extreme fatigue and shortness of breath, eventually making even simple tasks virtually impossible, and increasing the risk of stroke, heart failure and death," said Dr Ted Feldman, director, Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory.
"FDA approval of MitraClip marks an important milestone for Abbott as we continue to bring forward innovative therapies to help patients live better lives," said Mr Chuck Foltz, senior vice president, vascular, Abbott. "We look forward to making this technology available to specialized centers in the US with multi-disciplinary teams experienced in the management of patients with heart valve disease, a model that facilitates dialogue across physician specialties and provides patients with the best treatment outcomes."

Reality Check: Third-Party Ad Attacks Butler
Election In April 1
MADISON, Wis. - One of the biggest issues in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race this year has been the numerous third-party ads and the attacks they have made on the candidates.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
WISC-TV analyzed the claims made in an ad from Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce that seizes on a judge's former nickname.
"We've heard it before: Judge cites loophole, sides with criminal that threatens our safety. Take Justice Louis Butler; his colleagues called him 'Loophole Louie," the ad says. "A woman was beaten to death with a bat. Butler uses a loophole suppressing critical evidence."
WISC-TV found this claim to be misleading.
Neither of the articles sources in the ad contain the quote or headline suggested by pictures shown in the ad.
The case alluded to in the ad involved Matthew Knapp, who was accused of a slaying in Watertown in 1987.
When Knapp was arrested, an officer took his sweatshirt, which had blood on it, before reading Knapp his Miranda rights.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court first voted 6-1 in 2003, before Butler was on the court, to bar the sweatshirt from use at trial.
It's also notable that the ad shows a picture of a bat and not a shirt.
After the U.S. Supreme Court modified its opinion on Miranda right violations, the Wisconsin Supreme Court reconsidered and ruled in 2005 to again suppress the shirt as evidence. Butler authored the majority opinion.
This is a departure from what U.S. justices decided. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled to suppress statements -- not physical evidence -- taken before Miranda rights were given. So, the issue is more of a constitutional question than a loophole, WISC-TV reported.
It should also be noted that despite the evidence not being included, Knapp was convicted in a jury trial in May 2006 and sentenced to life in prison. The evidence apparently wasn't critical enough to keep a jury from finding him guilty.
The ad goes on to say, "A husband poisoned his wife. Butler cites a loophole, almost jeopardizing the prosecution."
WISC-TV found this claim also needs clarification. WISC-TV previously reported on this case in a "Reality Check" of another WMC ad.
This case also dealt with a major constitutional issue -- the rights of defendants to confront their accusers -- and calling that a loophole isn't accurate.
"Butler doesn't mind being called 'Loophole Louie.' He says it's affectionate," the ad says.
As for the nickname, WISC-TV found that the way it is used needs clarification.
Butler's campaign said this "affectionate nickname" was given to him by colleagues during his lawyer days, not when he was a judge.
One group said that using the name now is inappropriate. A campaign watchdog group put together by the state bar said that using the name is "demeaning to the entire Supreme Court and our judicial system."
The group goes so far to say that any attorney associated with directing this at Butler could be subject to discipline.

I bet Coyle has been salivating over this!
Give it to him, he's worth it.
I'm not sure how the cap situation would work but in my opinion, I am willing to part ways with Soliai to bring in Elvis. I mean the guy is on the final year of his contract, going to make 5.7 million. We can play a lineup of Wake, Starks, Odrick and Elvis. Won't be a popular opinion but I think that lineup is too dangerous to pass up.
I've always admired Dumervil, because he excelled inspite of his size. He's been successful at both ROLB and RDE and would fit in well with Coyles Hybrid Schemes. He's from South Florida and may be willing to take a little less due to the no state income tax situation in Florida.
Can you imagine what him and Wake will do to the QBs in this league??? It's been awhile since we've had 2 double-digit sack artists on this team. We need an elite Pass rusher more than we need an average, aging, injury-prone, Tackle!!!
He knows we have money.
Wanna give Wake IMMEDIATE help and draft a mid-round PR DE to develop? Sign Dumervil Jeff and that's what can happen.

Memories in the sand
LA CROSSE, Wis. - Every time Bailey Alston jumps, she's reminded of those that have jumped before her in the very same sand.
"There's no doubt that I'll be jumping for her. I jump for her every meet," Alston said.
"She's kind of following in Ashton's footsteps right now," said UW-L Women's Track and Field Coach Pat Haley.
An all-American sprinter and long-jumper for the Eagles, Ashton May graduated in 2010. She became an assistant coach at UW-L and took Alston under her wing.
"I do think that sometimes she did see a little bit of her in me," Alston said.
Ashton May died in a car crash in September.19568612
"It's hard to believe I guess. You don't really want to believe that it happened," Alston said.
"It'll be hard to ever forget that day," Healy said. "One thing I remember that will always stick with me, is right after we found out, a lot of the athletes met right here on the track."
The team held a candlelight vigil in her honor. This weekend, UW-L is hosting an Invitational in her honor: the first annual Ashton May Invitational.
"It's going to be kind of a special day as far as the first women's long jump that takes place in those long jump pits," Healy said.
"I'll definitely be rooting on Bailey because I know Ashton will be there to give her a little help," said senior Jena Weidel, who competes in the heptathlon.
"All these pits that you're surrounded by, all this sand has so much meaning," Alston said. "Knowing that she's jumped in this very sand, all that good stuff, her memory will always live on."
The competition starts Friday. There will be a special ceremony Saturday afternoon, which May's family will be in attendance for.
May was also a teacher at Holmen Middle School.

r2dtoys.com will have the figure in stock 7th June shipping on the 11th June, you can pre order it on the website. Its a bit steep though £59 plus P&P, and they will only have 92.
I thought this was a celebration II only item. Why are collectable toy stores like Brian's toys and R2Dtoys getting these items, as they were only for celebration II participants. (SP)
C2 Jorg Sacul was 2 per person. Those who did buy 2, are keeping 1 and selling 1, so obviously a few have escaped onto the secondary market. That's how Brian's Toys & R2dtoys have got some.
I don't care. Mines on order :D
So what EJ ??? The figure was a US exclusive, only a few thousand made, and currently selling on Ebay etc for over $/£100.
I must admit £60 is a bit steep, but I am a collector, and as you know collectors buy what they like, and what they like, and also pay what they want.
Just because some people only buy a few figures, I like to get all the figures that are released, whether they a crud or not. I don't care. That is all part of collecting.
I agree that Hasbro do stitch us up on distribution, especially when things are US only. They should consider the UK and other countries but what do you expect Hasbro is a US company, so their main priority is with them.
And so what that I am from the south, not my choice that I live in a wealthier area of the country, earning 30k. :D
What a bunch of scalpers!
Wow thats harsh Emperor :DQuote:

My biggest gripe about paying that ammount of money is because its really just for a head..
That you can't see anyway..
Unless you take him off the card..
Anyone gonna pay £60 and take him off the card?
I probably would :crazed:
Hasbro say it's to be given away not sold. How R2DTOYS got hold of so many is questionable to say the least. Probably direct from factory.
Don't pay for one, wait until a major store has them to give away as the private universe has reported. Anyways, these things will be up for grabs soon FOR FREE so don't pay.
I have no interest in this whatsoever. I think the head sculpt is bad and the re-use of a potf2 body is laughable arse licking from the hasbro star wars division. Using Porkins body would have been more accurate.
And if I did get one I'd open it. I open absolutely every last item I get hold of. No exeptions. :)
I have now seen the light and cancelled my order from R2dtoys. I am not now going to pay £60 if they are going free.
It would be nice to know which store will get them in, and what you have to do or buy to get a free Jorg Sacul. Possibly free with every £50 purchase, or something like that.
Come to think of it, it would be a great way of using up some of those Jedi Master points that everyone has stored up, and has no use for.
I don't care how bad it looks, I still gotta get one. I have every figure since 1978, so I'm not going to miss one now.
Sadly, if you don't buy it, someone else will so I hope what Jargo said about possible price hike's doesn't happen. Anyway, if Hasbro said Sacul is not to be sold by retailers, how are they getting away with it? Surely, they are breaking some kind of retail law?
They aren't retail. They are a collectable store. So they just got there hand on some that they bought from people who where there. They were probally there too, so they are just selling thier extra ones. R2dtoys isn't like a major chain or anything, so they arn't breaking any laws. I mean they sell other stuff that is older and only avalable on the secondary market, right? So, this Jorg is the same thing. Price is a bit high though, if you in the market I'd shop around.

NEW ORLEANS – Former Oxford litigator Richard "Dickie" Scruggs could return to prison if the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals rejects his efforts to have a 2009 conviction overturned.
Scruggs' attorney Edward "Chip" Robertson Jr. addressed a three-judge panel Monday morning and told them that while his client's behavior to court favor with then-Hinds Judge Bobby DeLaughter was extremely unethical, it did not meet the legal bribery standards of "quid pro quo," the phrase which means "something for something."
At issue in this case is whether it was bribery when Scruggs told a DeLaughter friend to tell the circuit judge Scruggs would suggest his name to his brother-in-law, then-U.S. Sen. Trent Lott, who could pass it along to the White House for a federal judgeship.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Norman of Oxford told the panel that suggestion was precisely the "something of value" required to legally make up a federal bribery charge.
Scruggs, 66, and his wife, Diane, were in the downtown New Orleans courtroom. He looked fit and completely recovered from hand surgery for a condition that caused his right hand to draw up.
He is free on bond awaiting the outcome of this appeal. Last December, he completed a five-year sentence in the 2007 bribery scheme aimed at Circuit Judge Henry Lackey.
Lackey and DeLaughter presided over insurance case legal-fees lawsuits against Scruggs and others.
Chief Judge Charles Stewart asked Robertson why Scruggs did not directly appeal the conviction, instead relying on a law change brought on by the U.S. Supreme Court in the USA v. Skilling case.
Stewart seemed skeptical when Robertson told him Scruggs' legal team feared they'd just be accused of filing frivolously, but Stewart insisted it was done all the time just to preserve an appeal record.
Robertson insisted that because Scruggs' legal accusation did not specifically state the crime for which he was accused, it was wrongly before federal court.
Norman argued against that position, saying their documents – while perhaps not "artfully" crafted by him – were sufficient for the task.
Robertson also argued that the federal judgeship suggestion was merely protected political speech and not a crime. The alleged "secret access" to DeLaughter began six months before Lott made his courtesy call, Robertson noted.
"We have to be very careful to make sure … that it is tied very tightly to the act. You know, people make phone calls," he said.
Norman told the panel that while Lott may not have made his call to DeLaughter with any serious considerations, the judge took it that way.
"He didn't tell Bobby DeLaughter he was just joking because Bobby DeLaughter wrote a letter the next day to the senator, thanking him and gushing about how honored he was to be considered," Norman noted.
It created in the judge's mind "exactly what defense wanted … it made him feel it was his last best chance to become a federal judge."

CORINTH – The surprising run of the Mississippi State baseball team – now just three victories from an improbable national title – is the kind of story that reminds me what attracted me to sports and newspapers in the first place.
It's always something.
There are plenty of days at work that threaten to be wholly predictable, then you get a day like Monday, when MSU beat Indiana 5-4 to put the Bulldogs in fine position to make their first appearance in the NCAA championship series.
This is the same MSU team, after all, that lost four consecutive weekend series in March and lost series to Vanderbilt and Ole Miss in April. Was anybody thinking about a NCAA tourney run at that point?
But that's the great thing about college baseball. It's very possible to have one team win the SEC regular season, another one win the SEC Tournament and yet a third team win a national title.
That's happened as recently as 2011.
For days now, people keep asking me what's going to happen in Omaha. "They'll play at least nine innings," is the best I can come up with. In a season when the team I thought was clearly the best – Vandy – is home, watching the College World Series on TV, anything can happen.
Just ask North Carolina and LSU, two great teams, which found themselves playing a knockout game on Tuesday. It's one of those years.
We'll all spill a lot of ink this week trying to explain how Mississippi State has done what they've done to this point. Win or lose, it has turned into a magical season over the past five weeks.
Cohen was right
And it proves that Bulldogs coach John Cohen wasn't blowing smoke when he insisted in 2010, after two losing seasons in Starkville, that he had the program on the right path.
Of course, what else was he going to say? But he was right.
Look what he's done since then – a super regional appearance in 2011, an SEC tourney title in 2012 … and now this. All backed by a fan base that has produced, in MSU's years of prominence, the 10 biggest on-campus college baseball crowds.
Three more wins, by the way, would give him 500 for his career. Wouldn't it be epic if he did that on the biggest stage of all?
