CINCINNATI (AP) Dan Bailey's 40-yard kick went straight through the uprights. The Dallas Cowboys had won an important game on a last-second field goal.
They weren't sure how to react.
Numb. Grieving. Distracted. The Cowboys were all those things on Sunday, dealing with the death of one teammate and the tribulations of another.
Winners, too, though they hardly felt like it.
Bailey's kick gave Dallas a 20-19 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals that ended a tough afternoon with the Cowboys' playoff chances enhanced and their heads full of so many thoughts.
``You think about everything,'' quarterback Tony Romo said. ``Like I said, it's a roller coaster of emotions. I don't know what's right; I don't know what's wrong. I don't know what you're supposed to feel.
``It's a hard, hard situation we're in. There's no playbook for this sort of thing in life.''
With a late comeback on Sunday, they got a momentary reprieve from their grieving.
The Cowboys overcame a nine-point deficit in the closing minutes behind Romo, who held his hand over his heart during a moment of silence to honor teammate Jerry Brown before the kickoff. The linebacker died in an auto accident early Saturday.
Defensive lineman Josh Brent, who was driving, was released from jail on Sunday in Texas about an hour after the game ended. He's charged with intoxication manslaughter.
The Cowboys (7-6) learned about Brown's death during their flight to Cincinnati on Saturday. Coach Jason Garrett told his team that the best way to honor him was to play well in a game with playoff implications for both teams.
One of the visitors' metal lockers at Paul Brown Stadium had a strip of white athletic tape with ``53 JERRY BROWN'' printed on it, a wooden stool inside sitting upside-down. Brown's No. 53 jersey was on the sideline during the game - defensive tackle Jason Hatcher held it up after Bailey's kick decided it.
There wasn't much of a celebration by an emotionally spent team.
``I don't remember crying this much other than maybe the day I was born,'' defensive lineman Marcus Spears said. ``With Josh's situation and Jerry being gone, you felt it.''
Players couldn't keep the tragedy out of their thoughts during the game, finding their minds wandering on the bench.
``I rarely let my emotions get the best of me,'' fullback Lawrence Vickers said. ``Today they did, but this was the place to do it.''
Owner Jerry Jones described his team as grieving when it took the field. It was the second consecutive week that an NFL team was playing a day after losing a teammate. Last Sunday, Kansas City beat Carolina 27-21 one day after linebacker Jovan Belcher shot his girlfriend and then himself at the Chiefs' practice complex.
``There was a feeling of numbness on the field,'' Garrett said.
The Cowboys salvaged the game by scoring on their last two drives against the Bengals (7-6), who had won four in a row and had a chance to move into position for an AFC wild-card berth with a victory.
Romo threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Dez Bryant with 6:35 to go. Anthony Spencer's sack of Andy Dalton forced a punt, and Romo led the Cowboys in range for Bailey's winning kick. Romo finished 25 of 43 for 268 yards with a touchdown, an interception and three sacks.
Newcomer Josh Brown kicked field goals of 25, 33, 25 and 52 yards for Cincinnati, which wasted an opportunity to move ahead of Pittsburgh (7-6) for the second AFC wild card.
``They came here in an emotional situation, and you knew they were going to fight all the way,'' Bengals offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth said. ``That game meant a lot to them. They played great.''
Dallas played a sloppy game until the closing minutes - nothing out of character there - and had a few especially bad moments.
Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan went onto the field and yelled at a Bengals player who had said something toward the Cowboys bench, drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the third quarter. Dallas also was penalized for 12 men on the field during the drive, which ended with Brown's third field goal and a 16-10 Cincinnati lead.
In the end, a defense that has allowed only three touchdowns in the last four games couldn't hold on. And the Bengals made it tough on themselves by using all three of their timeouts early in the second half, leaving them unable to stop the clock on Dallas' final drive.
Dalton was 20 of 33 for 206 yards with five sacks, one touchdown and an interception that Brandon Carr returned 37 yards to set up DeMarco Murray's 1-yard touchdown dive in the second quarter.
NOTES: Bailey's game-winner was his second of the season. His 38-yarder beat Cleveland in overtime. It was Bailey's sixth game-winning FG, second in Cowboys history behind Rafael Septien's seven. ... Bryant caught four passes for 50 yards, leaving him with 1,028 yards for the season. It's his first 1,000-yard receiving season and the first by a Cowboy since 2009 (Miles Austin and Jason Witten). ... Bryant has caught a TD pass in five straight games, the longest streak of his career. ... Romo's 25 completions gave him a club-record 349 for the season. He completed his last 12 throws the previous game and his first five on Sunday, setting a club record with 17 straight completions. ... Bengals RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 89 yards on 12 carries, breaking his streak of three straight 100-yard games.

Digital Tech Gives Wordsmiths a Whole New World
Apr 30, 2014 7:28 AM PT
Lexicographer Erin McKean gave a TED talk in 2007 called "The Joy of Lexicography," in which she pointed out the limitations of print dictionaries. After that talk, she decided to make her vision of a new kind of dictionary a reality. Thus was born Wordnik.
"Our mission with Wordnik is to put all the words in the dictionary, and show as much data as we can for any word someone is interested in," McKean, the founder of Wordnik, told TechNewsWorld.
A Word's Worth
Wordnik isn't just about definitions, though it offers plenty of those. Rather, it provides an entire ecosystem around each word -- synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms, hyponyms, Flickr pictures, tweets, wordmaps, example sentences, and statistics -- such as a word's Scrabble score.
"With Wordnik we want to empower people to draw their own conclusions about whether a word is worth using -- does it suit their needs? -- rather than just [giving an] 'is it in the dictionary?' answer," explained McKean.
Browsing Wordnik doesn't have to be solitary activity, either, since it offers opportunities to connect with other word lovers.
"Wordnik's community page is a great way to get a sense of Wordnik," said McKean. "You'll see the latest comments, the most recently listed and loved words, and the most recently created lists. Our word of the day is very popular -- we choose deliberately obscure words to delight dedicated logophiles."
The philosophy behind Wordnik is that language is living, breathing and constantly changing, and that dictionaries need to reflect that reality.
"I think we're now moving more and more towards the realization that simple inclusion or exclusion in a dictionary is not the measure of a word's worth to the language any more," said McKean. "We need more nuanced and three-dimensional pictures of a word's use and context, and that's what Wordnik is trying to provide."
A site like Wordnik that is part-dictionary, part-search engine, and part-community forum very well might point to the future of online and electronic dictionaries.
"The dictionary of the future will be omnipresent [and] context-sensitive," said McKean. [It will] learn your preferences to present to you the most relevant data for where and when you are -- highlighting for you the slang use of a word when you're reading fiction but the technical senses of a word when you're reading a textbook, and showing you example uses and possible alternate words when you're writing."
Mobile Words
One major shift is how people use dictionaries. No longer is the dictionary just a large book languishing on a shelf that's dusted off and consulted now and then. People want and expect to be able to find definitions wherever they are, whether using a word processing program, talking on a smartphone, or taking notes on a tablet.
"The best dictionary is the one that you have at the moment you need it," said Peter Sokolowski, editor-at-large with Merriam-Webster.
"Now, whether online or with a smartphone, we can look up words anywhere and anytime," he told TechNewsWorld.
"The biggest change is the shift from printed books to the Web and now to mobile," said Steve Boymel, vice president of business development with Farlex, publisher of TheFreeDictionary.com.
The dictionary of the future, in other words, "will need to be accessible from everywhere, at any time, in a way that the users prefer to use it."
Dream of a Global Dictionary
Another futuristic dictionary that's still in the formation stages is the Kamusi Project, which intends someday to include all words in all languages, allowing users to navigate freely between them.
"The long-term goal is to get as much data as possible about every term in every language and put it in one consistent place that is accessible to everyone, where all the data is accessible for people who want to use it," Martin Benjamin, executive director of the Kamusi Project, told TechNewsWorld.
Although there are plenty of online bilingual dictionaries between major languages, the Kamusi Project's vision is to gather words from hundreds of languages around the world -- such as Yeyi, Songhay, Kirundi and Tswana -- and give users a way to cross-reference terms and concepts without having to use English or another major language as an intermediary.
"It's not specifically a multilingual dictionary," explained Benjamin. "It is a collection of monolingual dictionaries that become a collection of bilingual dictionaries, and then fit into a pyramid of multilingual dictionaries."
A primary goal of the project is to gather information from these many languages that might never have been thoroughly documented.
"One of the things we're trying to do is make sure that every term is defined in its own language," said Benjamin. "That's not particularly radical in English or other major languages. For speakers in most languages around the world, though, it's an unheard-of concept. If you're able to document the concepts in a language, you're able to link them to other languages."
The project plans to use a variety of methods to gather information about global languages, including data mining, crowdsourcing and even word games.
"The goal is to go out there and find out what is the full extent of the human linguistic experience and codify it all in one place," said Benjamin. "There are lots of major language-paired bilingual dictionaries out there, but the world doesn't work like that anymore. You never know when you're going to have a Mongolian who needs to speak Quechua."

DI Series History: RIT leads, 16-8-0
The Canisius College hockey team returns to Atlantic Hockey play on Tuesday night with a home game against RIT. The Griffs host the Tigers at the Buffalo State Sports Arena at 7:05 p.m.
• Canisius is 2-7-0 during the 2013-14 campaign after losing a pair of games at Ohio State last weekend. The Griffs are 1-3-0 in league play.
• Senior defender Ben Danford continues to lead the Griffs in scoring, totaling seven points on a goal and six assists. Seniors Kyle Gibbons and Patrick Sullivan each lead the team with three goals.

• Senior Kyle Gibbons is currently on the cusp of a milestone.
• The senior has totaled 97 points during his career (45g, 52a) and is just three points shy of reaching the century mark.
• Gibbons will become the eighth player in the program's Division I history and the 28th Griff overall to reach the 100-point plateau.
• After a slow start to the season, the Griffs are finally starting to show the form of their record-setting penalty kill from a year ago.

• The Griffs now own a penalty kill unit of 75.0 percent after posting a 90.1 rate last season (11th-best mark in NCAA history).
• The Griffs' special teams units have been the key to their offensive success this season.
• Canisius has scored half of its goals (9-of-18) while on special teams – netting seven power-play tallies and two short-handed goals.
• The Griffs are currently converting 18.9 percent of their power plays.
• In a series that dates back to the Griffs' inaugural season of 1980-81, RIT holds a 46-14-1 advantage in 61 all-time meetings between the two schools.
• Canisius has played only Mercyhurst more than the Tigers during the program's history.
• Since RIT moved to Division I before the 2005-06 season, the Tigers own a 16-8-0 edge in the series.
• The Griffs won all three games against the Tigers last season, marking the first time in the series history that Canisius has won three-straight games over RIT.
• Canisius swept the Tigers in the final weekend of the regular season last year, starting an eight-game winning streak that led the team to the Atlantic Hockey title.
• RIT is 1-5-2 on the season and 1-2-0 in Atlantic Hockey play.
• The Tigers were off last weekend and earned their first victory of the season in their most recent game – a 4-2 win at Robert Morris.
• Mike Colavecchia leads RIT with eight points and five goals this season. Matt Garbowsky is second with seven points, including a team-leading five assists.
• Jordan Ruby has played every minute in goal for the Tigers, posting a 3.33 goals against average and .898 save percentage.

News You Just Can't Use
I always enjoy logging onto The Onion. Its faux news stories are wicked funny. Their specialty is satirical stories that seem vaguely plausible, but of course are completely bogus. Occasionally, people actually believe Onion stories. Recent Onion tweets reported that armed Congressmen were taking schoolchildren hostage and demanding $12 trillion in cash. Responding quickly - in real life, not the Onion - U.S. Capitol police said that the story had "no credibility" because lawmakers were on vacation. And, they are "investigating the reporting." Draw any conclusions you want.
So, when I read an article in USA Today proclaiming that cassette tapes are making a comeback, I thought I had logged onto The Onion by mistake. Cassettes? Seriously? USA Today quotes a source who says, "A growing number of indie bands are turning to the format to get their music out more quickly and inexpensively. . . from a musicmaker standpoint, I love it because they are very inexpensive to make." In particular, the turnaround for cassettes can be "as quick as two or three weeks."
Right. Got it. Making tapes is faster and cheaper than sending an MP3 file.
With hard-hitting journalistic rigor, the paper supports its argument with hard-hitting statistics. Music-related cassette album sales rose 46% from last year, with a whopping 22,000 sold last year.
Whoa! That certainly confirms the comeback! 22,000 cassettes per year works out to a staggering 60 tapes every day! Jeez! Clearly, cassettes are soon going to overtake iTunes' puny 400,000 song downloads per day. What's next? Apps on cassettes?
How about the playability of cassettes? One singer/guitarist quoted in the article notes that "Everyone has tape players lying around. . . and everyone will find a way to listen to it."
Umm. I don't think so.
USA Today readers were not impressed. As one reader responded, "This is fantastic!! I don't currently have a cassette player, but I sent a telegram out to an old college friend and he sent one back saying he still had one and would send it to me via Pony Express! I should receive it possibly as soon as February! I'm just hoping some of these cassettes will be available through this winter's Sears and Roebuck catalog. I must shoe the horses at once and scurry to the town drug store to inquire!"
Responding swiftly to the story, Capitol police have launched a full investigation.

I am looking for a particular kind of parenting book.
The focus should be on newborn to pre-school. The book would offer parenting advice grounded in scientific studies.
For example, there is a study called the Marshmallow test citing how kids that are able to defer gratification achieve higher SAT scores. Granted the study is only tangentially related to parenting as I could not find a better study, but my goal is to find a book that ties long-term behavior, personality, or cognitive development to parenting strategies or childhood behavior.
To get specific, off the top of my head studies that help to answer: where the child sleeps and impact on personality, breast-milk or formula, how to improve language acquisition, discipline strategies and personality development, music exposure, etc. would be very interesting. (For what it's worth, I'm trying to find a book as a gift for a friend of mine that is scientifically minded and about to have her first child.)
This question may be better suited as a community wiki since there may not be a single right answer.

Washington, D.C. -- Energy Secretary Steven Chu today announced that the U.S. Department of Energy finalized a $96.8 million Recovery Act supported loan guarantee to a project sponsored by U.S. Geothermal, Inc. to construct a 23 megawatt (net) geothermal power project in Malheur County, in southeastern Oregon. The company estimates that the project, known as Neal Hot Springs, will create approximately 150 construction jobs, over a dozen permanent jobs and many more supply chain jobs across several states, including Texas, California and Ohio.
"Increasing the supply of renewable energy through projects like U.S. Geothermal's will help us reach the President's goal of generating 80 percent of our electricity from clean energy by 2035," said Secretary Chu. "The Neal Hot Springs project will provide clean renewable energy directly from our nation's vast natural resources while simultaneously creating jobs and helping to promote energy independence."
"U.S. Geothermal's project means new jobs in Oregon communities that need them most," said Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber. "This is important step in achieving one of my top priorities - ensuring rural incomes grow along with urban incomes - and reason for optimism about a more prosperous future with Oregon leading the way in clean energy technologies."
"With the finalizing of this loan, southeastern Oregon's economy can heat up thanks to geothermal energy technology," U.S. Senator Ron Wyden said. "This loan will create more than 150 construction jobs, more than a dozen permanent jobs and will be a real economic shot in the arm and another example that when it comes to renewable energy technology, Oregon is on the right side of history."
"Right now Oregonians need jobs and that is exactly what this project will deliver," said U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley. "This is great news for Vale and for the future of clean energy jobs in Oregon. Our state can be the worldwide leader in geothermal energy production, and this project brings us closer to that vision."
The project uses an improved technology to extract energy from rock and fluids in the Earth's crust more efficiently. The technology, referred to as a supercritical binary geothermal cycle, is estimated to be more efficient than traditional geothermal binary systems, allowing lower-temperature geothermal resources to be used for power generation. Unlike coal-fired and natural gas-fired power generation plants, geothermal plants produce virtually no greenhouse gas emissions.
The company anticipates about 95 percent of the power plant's infrastructure and parts will be supplied by U.S.-based manufacturers. In addition, the project's total output will be sold to Idaho Power Company under a long-term power purchase agreement. With the 25-year agreement in place, the project is well positioned to accommodate anticipated population growth and renewable energy demand in the region.
The Department of Energy, through the Loan Programs Office, has issued loan guarantees or offered conditional commitments for loan guarantees totaling nearly $18 billion to support 19 clean energy projects. The program's eight generation projects alone will produce nearly 23 million megawatt-hours or enough to power almost two million homes. Additional DOE-supported projects include two of the world's largest solar thermal projects, the world's largest wind farm, and the nation's first nuclear power plant in three decades.

A Call To Women of Spirit All over the World
I call on Women of Spirit in every part of the world:
Too often it is the women of the world who watch their loved ones die in bombings and massacres and combat, high-tech, low tech, or no tech.
Too often it is the women who are in the line of fire, the line of retreat, or the path of the victors.
For centuries, women of spirit have been divided by rules and views and politics that declare one method of prayer acceptable and others damnable.
Today I call on every Women of Spirit, however you define yourself, however you pray, however you chant, however you connect to the Divine:
I Pray You, Do This : Connect to the Divine.
Do it for minutes. Do it for hours. Do it alone in a room or a shelter or a cathedral or on a mountain top. Do it in pairs, in thousands, in multitudes.
Connect to the Divine, however you define Divinity.
And Pray for peace.
Or Chant for peace.
Or Dance for peace.
Or Stand for peace.
Or Sit for peace.
Pray for peace in silence. Pray for peace aloud. Gather in boardrooms, bathrooms, basilicas. Pray for Peace with your body in any way it can move. Or dance for peace in utter stillness letting only your lungs breathe and your heart beat.
Pick a time, any time. And pick an interval � a minute, an hour, a day.
And pray for peace at that time for that interval.
Every day.
Every day.
Until this war is ended.
Until War is ended.
Until the wars against women
Pick a time. Pick a place. In droves or alone. Aloud or in Silence. For years or centuries or this heartbeat to the next.
Until there is peace.
Until there is compassion.
Until we learn what all our prayers teach us.
It is

BERLIN- Stephen Decatur's boys' varsity basketball team continued its late season run of good fortune this week, upsetting Worcester County rival Snow Hill, 69-59, on Tuesday for its third win in the last four games.
The Seahawks toppled the Eagles in front of a full house at home on Tuesday behind a balance scoring attack led by Tre Foreman, who finished with 21 points. Tom Lubeski scored 14 points and Tim Donnelly added 12. The win over Snow Hill was huge for the Seahawks, who have now won two in a row and three of the last four. Snow Hill has been at or near the top of the Bayside South standings for much of the year, while the Seahawks have languished at the bottom.
Signs the much-improved Seahawks could at least hang with their county rivals started to appear when Decatur lost to Snow Hill by a narrow 72-68 margin back on January 28. Since then, the Seahawks beat Parkside at home, 53-44; lost to North Caroline, 60-43, on the road; beat Crisfield at home last Thursday, 56-35; and, most recently, beat Snow Hill, 69-59.
Decatur started the season with six straight losses before winning their first game against Kent Island on December 22. The Seahawks did win one of its games in a holiday tournament, but then reeled off 10 more losses in a row before its recent turnaround. Decatur wraps its regular season tonight on the road against Parkside, a team it beat at home just two weeks ago. With wins coming more frequently in recent games, maybe the Seahawks are getting hot in time for the state playoffs.

|One of a group of letters from Henry Bergen mainly at 55 Sutton Court, Chiswick, but also at the Plimpton Press, Norwood, Massachusett, U.S.A to Bernard Leach. He is pleased that the Raku book is progressing; his advice is to write as if explaining verbally to someone present; he has written to Matsu (Matsubayashi) regarding a gas kiln for Raku, he hopes to 'be down' before Matsu goes; he is jocularly envious that Leach has 'recently' or 'nearly' (Bergen cannot read which) learned to dance! The difficulty of acquiring powdered silver; he plans to see Murray at Brockley; he is frantically busy. Bergen is to visit (E. Morton) Nance to photograph his china; Cardew has been ill (April, 1924); he encloses sketches of some galena(-glazed) ware wich he wants; (Bernard) Rackham has visited him and has enthused over 'comb ware'; a digression over American football! In December 1924, he manages to get in a few Christmas Day sets of Tennis; many technical remarks on sulphurous coal and its effect on glazes in firning; the difficulty in acquiring good Cha no yu pieces; Armorel Nance is doing well at the Slade. In April1926 (U.S.A.) he declaims against Dedham Pottery (formerly Chelsea) - 'it is a tragedy', though probably the most important pottery in America; he has not had time to see Langdon Warner; is impressed with American weaving, but that is all - 'There are such beautiful Chinese pots in all the museums that one would think the modern potters couldn't help being inspired by them but apparently they are not.' Later in the same month, he enthuses over the glaze of a piece sent ot him by Matsubayashi: ' Matsu has no idea - & the unfortunate thing is that even with no idea he could make very respectable things by imitating good models & leaving off his decoration. As it is he is hopeless. I wish I had his technique!' In February 1930, he looks forward to Tomimoto's visit; he approves of Tomimoto's view that 'The arts & the sciences must come on the same road', but Bergen does not believe that the competitive, or profit, system can bring this about. He continues to be very busy on his 'Troy book', for which there is no single good Latin text, with the result that he must work from multiple printed variants; he is also helping Nance with his book on Swansea porcelain and pottery. In May 1930, he enthuses over the 'Coleshill' (Pledyell-Bouverie) show - shapes, decoration and glazes; Yanagi is to arrive in June; a thoughtful critique of (Eric) Gill's work; is pleased to hear of Leach's progress with tiles and fireplaces; tells of fine get-together of Cardew, 'Beano' (Katharine Pledyell-Bouverie) and Okuma at the Marx's; is still slogging away at the British Museum. On 10 July 1930 comes the unthinkable ---- he is 'fed up with tennis for the present!' He sees Nance and (J.G.) Fletcher (who appends a note as a post script) quite often. In December 1930 he catalogues his responsibilities; he has no leisure, and 'no time for thought, a thing I must have, & so except for short letters to Nance & occasionally one to 'Beano' & Fletcher (who is not successful in his writings just now & feeling it keenly) & most of these letters mere scrawls I've hardly written to anyone except when it's a case of must'. Does not feel Tomimoto should come over unless confident of financial success - there is not money about; he feels that Leach would be more profitabley based nearer London than St. Ives, although ' I don't think there can be any though (sic for thought) of amalgamation with Michael (Cardew) and Beano & Norah - They all want to continue to work independently, & I think are perfectly right -- Every artist must work alone ---'; a thoughtful and philosophical letter; his Christmas plans -- he hope to be alone to work. In March 1931 he is unsympathetic to Fletcher's resentful reception of Leach's criticism - poor Fletcher, 'he has no idea of differences between faience, stoneware & porcelain!'. An affectionately expressed post script reads: 'Did you see Thorp's article on the Coleshill Poettery; F(letcher) says it is impossibly complicated! I imagine it is quite good'. He wirtes of his enjoyment of Leach's London visit on 6 June 1931, the firings at Coleshill, technical pros and cons etc.; 'Beano says your things look very well (at the "National Show"). Murray has his big Zarathustra pot there which I dislike exceedingly. Michael she says, has sold his pots twice over to the exhibitors!' He continues: 'I don't know what Beano and Lise (Braden) can do unless they start something new in decorating - also forms. They are in a rut all right. Whether they have reached their natural limits I know not but hardly think so - & I don't know what good Nature would do either - Tomimoto is soaked in Nature - yet look at his pots - the form & decoration swearing at one another half the time - or the decoration wholly independent of the form'; he reports that Fletcher has separated from his wife. On 12 December 1931, he is glad to hear about Dartington --- 'I should like to see you play the devil ---'; he is irritated by Tomimoto's sulks. In february 1932, he commends 'Hobson's future successor at the B.M.', one (Soame) Jenyns (whom he has taught as far as possible about Cha no yu, etc.) to Leach and hopes that the young man can have a fortnight at St. Ives; further news of Cardew, 'Beano' (sometimes rendered as 'Bino'), Braden, his tennis, etc. He requires a potter's wheel; a coming Japanese Exhibition at Burlington House (he, Murrey, Brangwyn and, he hopes, Leach will be lending pieces, and Bergen is on the committee); much about J.G. Flecher's apparent dementia: "--- I'm very fond of him - he has fine qualities - but he has always been an awful fool & hardly able to take care of himself"; he thinks the estranged wife is to blame; Bergen has not seen 'Mairet' for long enough; Cardew and he are reorganising the pottery accommodation (at Winchcombe); Cardew's recent bad firing. Later in February Fletcher is improving after a disturbing bout of certifiable insanity; further tehnicalia regarding slipware. In April, 1933 he wonders how David (Leach) 'got on with the salt-glaze people' in France; the Japanese show has opened , but he is only marginally impressed; he saw Herbert Read at the opening (Read is to send his son to Dartington); the sale of the Winkworth Collection; his work on the 'Troy Book' continues. On 25 March 1934 he writes to Leach in Japan; addresses of his own Japanese contacts; a lecture by Herbert Read; mystifying and guarded references to 'the affair at St. Ives -- it all depends on what Leach wants, & her wishes should, I think be acceded to'; an equally gnomic reference to Mark Tobey. On 14 February 1935 a long and philosophical letter on the retrospective merits of humanistice handicrafts and rational mechanised production! He is pleased that Leach is enjoying his Japanese visit - his drawings and pots are the best ever. In March he regrets that Leach is not happy in Stoke-on-Trent; a coming Chinese exhibition at Burlington House - Hobson, Eumorfopoulos and Raphael have gone to Shanghai to collect material; the Eumorfopoulos Collection has been bought by the British and Victorian and Albert Museums, for £100,000; good wishes to his Japanese friends. In the last letter of this group, 26 January 1936 Bergen recommends to Leach the latest ceramics recruit at the Victoria and Albert Museum, one E.A. Lane, and hopes that he, too, can benefit from a spell at St. Ives, as did Soame Jenyns; gives Lane a glowing reference, he will visit the Chinese exhibition shortly for the 7th and 8th time, with Henry and Irina Moore --- 'There are plenty of good things there amongst the piles of rubbish', describes the show, ands damns it with faintish praise; he is still 'trying to help Nance with his damned Billingsley'.

Residents in the area surrounding the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed in Abbottabad, say Pakistani security officials only arrived on the scene after Sunday's night's fighting had ended and did not know what had happened or where it happened.
"The patrol cars arrived 20 minutes after the firefight. They asked people where the explosions had happened," says Muhammad Sadiq, a young Islamic teacher at the local mosque. "The Pakistan Army is based here, why weren't they trusted to arrest him?" he adds.
The details appear to confirm US officials' accounts that Pakistani authorities were neither involved in nor briefed on the US operation to capture the Al Qaeda leader. That realization is bolstering the sense here that Pakistan's sovereignty has been violated, and anti-American passions are now pulsing through this garrison town.
"The Pakistani Army had no idea what was going on. They charged in without a clue," says a construction worker who spoke on condition of anonymity. "For the Americans to come here and take people away from our area is a big insult to us. If I had been there I would have killed the Americans myself."
Why locals didn't know bin Laden was there
Neighbors and residents interviewed by the Monitor said they had never seen bin Laden, but were familiar with two middle-aged Pashtun brothers cited in reports as his couriers, named Ahmed and Rashid.
"They were very well liked in the area," says Bashir, who says the "family" had been in the area for close to seven years. "They would go to peoples' houses sometimes participate in peoples' family celebrations like births and condolences, but would never call people to their own house," he adds.
Ahmad Jan, a teenage student whose home overlooked the compound, says he recalls that every morning a bright red truck would enter the compound, and leave at night. "I would pass by the house sometimes and think they were some kind of special people."
Despite these oddities, few seemed interested in knowing more about the resident of the compound whom most assumed were wealthy Pashtun migrants, or "Khan jees" in local slang.
The high barbed-wire walls were seen as a token of the family's religious conservatism.
"Some people guessed there may be more to it than met the eye, but no one could imagine it was [bin Laden]," adds Munawar Iqbal, a construction boss whose property overlooks the compound. "But if we knew [it was bin Laden] we would protect him as our guest. Whatever you say about him, he was a brave man. "

A steady fire was seen rising from the compound through Tuesday morning and afternoon, with many speculating that the last of the building's furniture was being burned. By late afternoon, the house was handed over to police and members of the public, and press flocked to the building's perimeter, which contained a large, empty courtyard surrounded by scorched walls. Children played in the maize fields around the compound, picking up small pieces of the helicopter that was destroyed during the raid.
Despite such scenes, though, there is a palpable sense of anger here at both the United States and Pakistan's civilian government, whom many believe have "sold out" the country.
"America calls itself a champion of democracy and justice, but where is the justice here? There was no due process, it seems like rule of the jungle," says Abdur Razzak Abbasi, a local leader with the Jaamat-e-Islami political party. Many Pakistanis also feel the decision to bury bin Laden at sea was a desecration. Bashir, the construction worker, warns: "Osama may be more dangerous to the West dead than he was alive."
Protests by religious parties were held across Pakistan Monday evening, including a funeral prayer for bin Laden held by the banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa in Lahore, though have so far remained fairly limited.

The gas oven I have at home has a cleaning function which gets the oven extremely hot (enough to cremate food residue). I don't know if it goes up to 700, but it does go well above 500. You can't use it to cook because the oven door locks, but it surely doesn't burn down the house.
I can still get an excellent crust with my pizza stone in a 500 degree oven.

I've experimented with putting a pizza stone on both coal and gas grills. Either will get you up past 700 degrees. I can get a cast iron pan on my gas grill (which I use for searing steaks) to about 760 dgrees. I think it was similar for the stone.
So far, my experiments have been failures, but not so dismal that they didn't show some real potential. The problem, of course, is that the bottom of the pizza will be carbonized long before anything happens up top. But in evaluating the failures closely, I'm convinced that a successful method would produce results superior to what I can get in my oven at 550.
Attempts at rushing the pizza from the stone to the oven broiler have proven unwieldy and I don't think they're likely to yield successful results. Right now, I'm thinking that a temporary stone oven constructed by using pizza stones for the roof and floor, and bricks for walls might be the best bet. But it's a little too cold to be out playing with the grill right now.
Warning: The stone used on the charcoal grill cracked after the second firing.

Having made pizzas all day long for a few years in a NY restaurant, I can shed some light on this situation.
The reason for having pizza cooked on a stone (which are usually 4 to 6 inches thick), is to retain it's heat when a cold pizza is placed on it. It takes several hours for the stone to get up to temp, and the normal temp of a pizza oven is between 525 to 575 F (it has been a long time, sorry, but I know it is no where near 700 F).
For the dough to cook thoroughly, it needs a constant temp of about 550 for 3.5 minutes. If the pizza is cooked on a tray or a rack, then the dough's outside gets browned or burnt but the inside stays raw. The thermal mass of the stone is high enough to keep cooking the dough the entire time the pizza is in the oven. The cheese will melt and the sauce will cook just right in the 3.5 minutes.
I have no experience with cooking on a wood fired oven at 700 F, but at those temps, it's gonna cook quickly. It's hard tpo imagine that the dough will cook thoroughly and the top of the cheese will not get burnt before it melts.
I can add that after cooking a pizza on a stone, you must rotate to an unused section of the stone and let the last position get back up to temp for 10 minutes. Our ovens had room for 4 pies and you had to place the pies in sequence to let the stone temp recover.

Post subject: temperature of pizza stone
I often place my 3/4" thick pizza stone on the floor of my gas oven at the oven's maximum temperature setting of 525F. After letting it heat up for an hour, my infrared thermometer indicates that the pizza stone gets up to about 625F (and the emissivity of the matte gray stone is probably close to the 0.95 assumed by my thermometer). This is hot enough to cook a pizza (although, apparently, the ideal way to cook a thin-crust pizza is 900F for 1 minute), but since the oven's air temperature is lower than the stone's temperature, the cheese cooks more slowly than the crust. I have solved this problem by first cranking the oven up to 525F until the stone reaches 625F. Then, I insert the pizza onto the stone, and as soon as I get it into the oven, I change the oven setting to broil to attack the cheese from the top. I get a perfect crust and a perfectly-browned cheesy top in about 7 minutes.

Would you take the proposed new train to Washington?

With some of "Dancing With the Stars" top champions and fan favorites returning to the ballroom for an all-star season, it's already shaping up to be a knock-down, drag-out competition – and the first episode hasn't even aired yet.
"I just left rehearsal and I'm not happy with myself," a downbeat Gilles Marini told PopcornBiz recently, his jaw clenched with frustration. "So I want to do better."
It looks like things are getting pretty serious on the fun little dance show, which premieres at 8 p.m. ET on ABC Monday night.
Season 15's all-star gathering consists of some of "DWTS" heaviest hitters, teamed with its now seasoned celebrity-wrangling dance pros: Marini is paired with Peta Murgatroyd (who won the previous season with NFL star Donald Driver); Kirstie Alley reteams with former partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy; "Baywatch" Pamela Anderson dances with Tristan MacManus; racer Helio Castroneves is paired with Chelsie Hightower; Joey Fatone reunites with original partner Kym Johnson; Olympian Shawn Johnson is teamed with Derek Hough; Drew Lachey dances with Anna Trebunskaya; Kelly Monaco pairs with Val Chmerkovskiy; Olympian Apolo Anton Ono gets a new partner in Karina Smirnoff; Bristol Palin dances with Mark Ballas; Melissa Rycroft is matched again with partner Tony Dovolani; Sabrina Bryan partners with Louis Van Amstel; and retired NFL legend Emmitt Smith re-teams with original partner Cheryl Burke.
"DWTS" host Tom Bergeron said the all-star session was a long time in coming, from discussions early on in the series' life cycle to almost happening in Season 14. "[Executive producer] Conrad Green and I were adamant about doing it a year ago," Bergeron tells PopcornBiz, "but I just think with 14 seasons under our belt, we have a wonderful cast of characters to draw from and a great history, now, of seven years. And I think going into a fall season, when the competition for eyeballs is so intense, is the perfect time to do it."
Bergeron believes that the collection of much-loved celebrity competitors will really put the influence of viewer voting to the test as they struggle to pick a standout from a collection of favorites. "The fan bases are ALWAYS a factor," says Bergeron. "I think certainly it will play a big part here. The random factor, for me – or the X-factor, at the risk of getting a copyright infringement suit from Simon Cowell – is that we don't know how these people, some of whom will have new partners, some of whom will be competing against other former champions, will see that change the dynamic. How does the change of seven or four years impact your ability?"
Changed dynamic or not, the stars and dancers are looking forward to returning.
"I'm going to rehearse a lot more and I'm going to try and stay out of trouble because I'm a self-sabotager – and I'm sworn off men until November!" laughs
Anderson, who in her stint on Season 10 won more devotion for her quick-witted quips and sexy outfits than for her footwork. She says she's more determined than ever to court the viewer vote.
"I didn't realize how important that was last time," she tells PopcornBiz. "I'm locked and loaded and ready to blast off."
U.S. & World
Still, she's not exactly counting on taking home the coveted Mirror Ball trophy. "I'm looking at all these people, getting more and more nervous as I was realizing that it's a bunch of winners, and Tom also said that most of the people up there were finalists. Not me. So I think be here for comic relief!"
Marini said he was initially motivated by his enjoyment of his first experience of the show (he placed second in Season 8) and wanted to pay back the fans who supported him. "I was glad at having a second run on the dance floor, not to say, 'I've got to win this,'" he says, "No – I'm glad that I have it and it's going to be amazing to be able to entertain people again because that's where the wow factor comes in to you. You feel it, you breathe and you make people so thrilled."
A few weeks after that enthusiastic appraisal to PopcornBiz, Marini admits it's been far more challenging than he expected. "I am hurt," he reveals. "My Achilles as we speak is on fire – but it's okay. I will pull it through."
Murgatroyd expects the other competitors to give her and Marini a particularly fierce run for the trophy this season. "I think it's going to be tough because everyone has their little claim to fame from the past seasons. And everyone has moves and stuff that they're known for and what they're good at."
"The beauty about this season is that everyone's done the show and they know how humbling it is, so I think everybody's going to come into it wanting to have fun," says pro dancer Johnson. "This is a season for the fans."
But pro dancer Smirnoff says the real pressure will be on the dancers, not the celebs.
"Take this scenario: someone who has won in the past gets a different partner and they don't go all the way, don't even go to the finals. Who's at fault? Who do you think they're going to think is at fault? The dancer. So the dancers have their work cut out for them," she says.
Not that that scares her.
"We have to come up with routines that have never been danced before on 'Dancing With The Stars.' I think as much as it might be a difficult season it also creates a platform for something great to happen. I think that's what All Stars is about. It's about creating something magical, something memorable, something that a whole culture will talk about," she says.
For his part, Bergeron plans to closely monitor the potentially fragile celebrity psyches, especially if they go from first in their original season to worst in All-Stars. "How horrible would it be to be the first person in the All Star season to be voted off?" he chuckles. "We'll have a therapist standing by."

The Caped Crusader has set a date to come out of the shadows.
In an interview with Digital Spy, Michael Caine revealed that the still-yet-to-be-named sequel to the blockbuster "The Dark Knight" will enter production next April.
The re-booted "Batman" franchise has been a major box office force since Christian Bale donned the cape and cowl and Christopher Nolan took over the director's chair with 2005's "Batman Begins." The two films have grossed over $1 billion worldwide and have elevated the comic book movie to serious art form.
U.S. & World
According to Entertainment Weekly, Nolan, along with his brother Jonathan and writer David S. Goyer, are still producing the film's script. Stars Bale, Morgan Freeman, Caine, and Gary Oldman are all slated to reprise their roles.
Perhaps the main question surrounding the series' third installment is the identity of Batman's nemesis. After Heath Ledger's passing during post-production of "The Dark Knight," it's been assumed that the Joker will not be revived, nor will Aaron Eckhart's Harvey Dent, who appeared to die at the end of the last film.
Warner Brothers has set July 20, 2012, as the release date for the third movie.
Nolan's newest movie, the sci-fi action/drama "Inception," opens this Friday.

VANCOUVER — A new study from the University of B.C. shows kids might be generous and giving because it makes them happy, contrary to the popular belief children are inherently selfish.
Adults report feeling better when spending money on other people instead of themselves and research shows the part of the brain that processes rewards is activated when donating to charity.
Three UBC researchers hypothesized very young children — under age two — experience similar emotional benefits from generosity. For adults, the happiness that results from giving could be caused by many things, like conforming with social pressure or receiving rewards.
"But looking at young kids helps us get a little closer to understanding whether this is something rooted in human nature or not," said Lara Aknin, a PhD in social psychology. Aknin designed the study with her UBC thesis supervisor, Elizabeth Dunn, and developmental psychologist Kiley Hamlin.
This is the first study to look at the emotional benefits of giving in young children.
Aknin cited news and parenting websites that argue young kids are innately selfish and self-absorbed, and she admitted some studies have shown kids can be territorial with their possessions.
"But you also don't have to look far to see really young kids wanting to share their soggy Cheerios," she said. "There is this dichotomy when we look at kids, and I think most people's assumptions are that kids are self-oriented and hoard things for themselves."
The researchers found the opposite.
In the controlled study done through UBC's Centre for Infant Cognition, 20 toddlers at an average age of 22 months were given treats — Goldfish crackers or Teddy Graham cookies — and then asked to give them away to a monkey puppet — a trick common in child psychology experiments.
The interaction was recorded on video and then played back for two research assistants who independently coded the children's facial expressions for evidence of happiness — how big their smiles were — on a seven-point scale. Not only were kids happier when they were giving than receiving, but they were most happy when they were sharing their own possessions.
Recent studies have shown children will do good deeds spontaneously, even if it means walking away from a fun game, Aknin said. But further research is needed to see if the results are supported in larger groups, and if sharing and giving at a young age predicts philanthropy and generosity later in life. Aknin said she expects it might.
"If a piece of chocolate cake makes you feel good, you'll want that chocolate cake again. If giving makes you feel good, you'll give again," she said.
The study was published in PLoS One, the online version of the Public Library of Science, this month.

DENVER—While Colorado has one of the lowest obesity rates in the nation, more than half the state's residents are overweight or obese.
On Thursday, Gov. John Hickenlooper plans to announce a statewide challenge using online tools, giveaways and community support to encourage Coloradans to be more active, whether they walk, dance, garden, do yoga or something else.
The Get Movin' challenge by the nonprofit organization LiveWell Colorado will allow residents go online to log their daily physical activity from Aug. 1-30. Participants who log 30 days of activity with an average of at least 30 minutes daily in that time will get a free shirt. Those who log 15-29 days of activity, with an average of 30 minutes of activity daily, will get a hat.
Any participant is eligible for drawings for prizes including an Epic Pass for Vail Resorts Inc.'s ski areas or an entry in the Pedal The Plains bicycle tour in eastern Colorado.
People can start registering Thursday.
"It provides an opportunity for everyone in Colorado—kids, older people, no matter where they live, no matter what kind of shape they're in now—to participate and become healthier and try to incorporate physical activity in people's lives that they can sustain, even after the challenge is completed," LiveWell Colorado CEO Maren Stewart said. "It might start a habit that might last a lifetime."
Health care provider Kaiser Permanente is sponsoring the program. Costs weren't immediately disclosed. Organizers are hoping for 5,000 participants.
LiveWell Colorado says that about one in five adults Coloradans are obese, and more than half are either obese or overweight.
For adults, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends about 150 minutes of activity per week that's at the level of a brisk walk. But a study by the CDC shows 18 percent of adults in Colorado reported getting no physical activity in the past month.
Stewart and Dr. Jandel Allen-Davis of Kaiser Permanente cite a mix of factors for people not getting enough exercise. Some people may be working two jobs while raising families, while others may be too intimidated to go to a gym.
"It's not necessarily about going to the gym every day or running a marathon," Stewart said.
A healthier Colorado could mean lower health care costs and higher productivity in workplaces, Stewart said.
Helping people eat better, get more physical activity and assume more responsibility for their own health is key to helping bring down health care costs, Allen-Davis said.
"This challenge encompasses the personal responsibility piece. You have to move," Allen-Davis said. "What we know from behavior change is when people start doing this activity, they get confident and then say, 'What else can I do.'"
Allen-Davis acknowledged self-reporting could allow people to exaggerate what they do or forget to log a day. "We're not going to let anything discourage us," she said.
Colorado recently launched a voluntary, incentive-based wellness program for state employees. Door to Door Organics Inc. agreed to deliver 528 snack boxes of organic fruit to dozens of state offices in two waves this summer.

New law limits use of x-ray devices, mandates pat-down alternative, and forces feds to disprove health concerns
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Monday, March 22, 2010
Idaho has set the example for others states to follow in the continuing revolt against naked body scanners, by passing a law that limits the use of the x-ray scanning devices in airports and government buildings and also forces Homeland Security to disprove health concerns.
Athol Republican Rep. Phil Hart's bill, which was passed 58-9 on Thursday by the Idaho state legislature, limits use of the scanners to people who have failed a prior security check, such as a metal detector.
The bill also enforces by law the option to take a manual pat-down as an alternative to the body scan, a choice that was never available in other countries that have introduced the scanners and one that the TSA has made clear it seeks to abolish, forcing everyone to use the scanners.
"Hart's bill would also require the Idaho Department of Homeland Security to prove the scanners aren't detrimental to health before any machine is allowed to operate in the state," reports the Associated Press.
Despite governments claiming that backscatter x-ray systems produce radiation too low to pose a threat, the Inter-Agency Committee on Radiation Safety concluded in their report that governments must justify the use of the scanners and that a more accurate assessment of the health risks is needed.
Pregnant women and children should not be subject to scanning, according to the report, adding that governments should consider "other techniques to achieve the same end without the use of ionizing radiation."
"The Committee cited the IAEA's 1996 Basic Safety Standards agreement, drafted over three decades, that protects people from radiation. Frequent exposure to low doses of radiation can lead to cancer and birth defects, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency," reported Bloomberg.
Responding to questions about a potential battle between federal and state jurisdiction over the use of naked scanners in Idaho, Hart said that the state could use "police power" to regulate the machine's usage if they are found to be harmful to humans.
"Hart said that in his research and talking to professionals about the machines, he has been told that the machines irradiate people to the level which equals that person spending one full day in the sun," according to the Idaho Reporter. "Hart said the science isn't conclusive because long-term testing of the machines has yet to be done. Because of the radiation used to produce images, Hart is concerned that those who travel often would be adversely affected more than average Americans who travel only a few times each year. Under directives of Hart's plan, the head of Homeland Security in Idaho would need to certify the safety of the machines prior to installation and use in public facilities in the state."
Hart highlighted the fact that the body scanners do produce naked images of the body, despite a propaganda campaign to convince Americans otherwise, and the bill addresses this by prohibiting the storage and transfer of the images produced by the scanners.
Hart's bill was supported by House Democrat, Rep. Shirley Ringo, who reminded lawmakers that the response to the 9/11 attacks was supposed to be an attempt to preserve freedom and liberty, as well as Rep. Russ Matthews, R-Idaho Falls, who warned that the federal government should not be allowed "to pillage our freedom in the name of security."
The bill also attracted support from both sides of the political spectrum, enlisting endorsement from both the ACLU and Gun Owners of America.
We are joining the hundreds of other Americans who have filed complaints in protesting naked body scanners as an affront to privacy, dignity, and a health risk, by launching our naked body scanner contest in an effort to focus public attention on how we must stop these machines now before they are installed in the streets and become another tool of control and oppression as part of the prison planet being constructed around us.
Not only have authorities in Europe promised to roll out mobile body scanners on the streets to mass scan crowds of people, but Homeland Security has even gone a step further, developing Orwellian mind-reading devices that are set to be installed as part of unconstitutional checkpoints at public events.
We are offering our biggest prize fund ever of $15,000 for the entries that most successfully highlight the true agenda behind naked body scanners and where this is all heading unless we put our foot down now and help to build momentum behind public pressure to remove the scanners from airports.
Click here to see the contest rules and prepare your entry.
As the video below illustrates, the fact that naked body scanner machines in the U.S. are manned by TSA thugs who are routinely caught abusing their power in treating the public like prison inmates only heightens the danger posed by the use abuse of the new devices.

And now we know the rest of the story — although we kind of figured this was how it played out all along.
In an interview with NFL.com, former SMU quarterback and current draft hopeful Garrett Gilbert opened up about his transfer from Texas in 2011. Specifically, Gilbert acknowledged that the incessant booing he received at home as he attempted to replace UT legend Colt McCoy played a significant role in his decision to leave the Longhorns.
"Hearing boos again, not really being able to shake that, at that point I kind of knew it might be time to start over and wipe the slate clean," Gilbert said, according to NFL.com. "It's tough to sum up quickly. For whatever reason, things didn't work out. I think that led to some forcing the ball, trying to force things to happen. Maybe I read the papers a little too much, as well."
Gilbert was UT's starter in 2010, and then the first two games of the 2011 season. Following a miserable performance in Week 2 against BYU — a week after suffering a shoulder injury — Gilbert was dropped to No. 3 on the depth chart behind sophomore Case McCoy and freshman David Ash in the week leading up to the UCLA this past weekend. The shoulder injury officially ended his season in mid-September; one month later, he was given a release from his UT scholarship.
In early November of 2011, Gilbert, a five-star member of UT's 2009 recruiting class who nearly helped the Colt McCoy-less Longhorns upend Alabama in the BCS title game that season, transferred to SMU, finishing out his career with the Mustangs.

What's Brewing
From Greg at Lafayette Brewing Co. in Lafayette:
On tap at Lafayette Brewing this weekend: Star City Lager; Prophet's Rock Pale Ale; East Side Bitter; Pipers' Pride Scottish Ale; Tippecanoe Common Ale; Eighty-Five; Black Angus Oatmeal Stout; and our current specialty beer, I Am An American IPA.
From Roger at New Albanian Brewing Co. in New Albany:
Offloading some inventory:
Also, on Tuesday my 50th birthday beer goes briefly on tap at BSB on Tuesday, August 3 (my birthday). When the notion first was offered that a beer might be brewed for the occasion of my 50th, Grant Line brewer Jared Williamson immediately grinned and said he'd take care of it because he knows my preferences. The result is Ancient Rage, a Smoked Baltic Porter. The name is (a) a self-deprecating knock at my staus as elder (not as old as John Hill, though -- no one is) and (b) a play on words in honor of Ancient Age Bourbon, of which our newsletter editor Michael wrote: "Ancient Age ... a favored tipple of the Publican's misspent youth." Yeah, well, maybe I drank more whisky back then than beer, but I got over it. AR doesn't have the strength of Solidarity, surely the finest beer not to win a medal at the State Fair. It's 6% abv, and suitably contrarian for my palate. Two of the kegs go on tap at BSB on Tuesday, with the rest being held until fall for a bit of aging.
From Oaken Barrel Brewing Co. in Greenwood:

All Scotty's Brewhouse Locations Now Have Brand New Drink Menus!Carry Out
From Eric at 21st Amendment in Broad Ripple:
In honor of the extreme heat we've been experiencing, I'm going to keep my section short and only talk about two extreme beers that we're lucky enough to have on our shelves:
1.) Sierra Nevada Bigfoot: We have this beer available still because I was able to find a couple of stray cases of this gem buried in our system. This beer is a massive Barley Wine with a bigger hop load than most Double IPA's. I think it's a beautiful high-gravity beer to drink now but it ages as well as any beer I've ever had. Consider yourself lucky if you've ever had a vertical tasting with multiple vintages of Bigfoot.
2.)Dogfish Head World Wide Stout: At 18% ABV this is one of the world's strongest beers. This beer really showed me the talent that Dogfish puts into every recipe. The beer exhibits roasted, toasted malts and really shows the balance you can get with a high alcohol beer. Yes, you can seek out the ultra-high ABV/ultra expensive beers put out by Brew Dog, but instead of drinking "beer concentrate," I'd rather have a wonderful beer made the old-fashioned way.
Happy drinking Beer Fans!
From Big Red Liquors in Bloomington:
New items:
Great Divide 16th Anniversary Wood Aged Double IPA - From their commercial description, "Plenty of malty sweetness provides a backdrop for earthy, floral English and American hops, while French and American oak round off the edges and provide a touch of vanilla."
Sierra Nevada Tumbler -This is their new fall seasonal beer, an "Autumn Brown Ale." This beer is very balanced -it starts off with a slight bitter chocolate maltiness and finishes with a well rounded fruity hop. It very smooth and definitely quaffable.
On sale:
Upland Pale 6pks $6.99, normally $7.99
Stella Artois & Hoegaarden 12pks $12.99, normally $16.99
Moosehead & Moosehead Light 12pk bottles and cans $9.99, normally $11.99

The Houston Dynamo have been keeping their training staff very busy, with several players likely out or game-time decisions against New England this weekend.
"From the first game, we've picked up injuries like Eddie Robinson's, and we've been patching things together all season," said midfielder Lovel Palmer. "It's tough, but we just have to go out and grind out three points."
Midfielder Brad Davis looks to be the most likely to miss the match against New England. The midfielder worked on the side during Friday's practice and did the same the day before, so it seems doubtful that Davis will be able to contribute even off of the bench. Ryan Cochrane and Adrian Serioux both look to be game-time decisions against New England, as they both practiced fully with the team on both Thursday and Friday.
"[I am] probably a game-time decision," said Cochrane after Thursday's practice. "[My groin] feels good for the most part."
Cochrane tweaked his groin muscle during a shooting drill at the end of practice last week and tried to play through it against Monarcas Morelia in the SuperLiga semifinal. However, the injury forced him out at the half.
Defender Adrian Serioux has been suffering from a hamstring strain and hopes to be available this weekend, but the medical staff may choose to be a little more cautious with the Canadian.[inline_node:305127]
"Thursday was the first day that I tried to give it a go, and it felt better than I thought it would feel," noted Serioux. "At the same time, I just want to be cautious, and the medical staff wants me to be cautious as well. We'll see though. Hopefully I will be able to go this weekend, but if not, then next weekend."
Also back between the posts this week at practice was Dynamo goalkeeper Pat Onstad. The veteran had surgery last week on his abdominal muscles and said he is way ahead of schedule. Onstad is hopeful to be available against the Fire next week.
"Surgery went well, and I feel a lot better than I thought I would at this stage," noted Onstad. "I am pretty pleased about the way things are, but I've been out a while, so I am a little rusty."
