Musicians can still be a little fuzzy when it comes to describing the sound of a fuzz box. Some guitarists will tell you it sounds like a 2,000-pound bee trapped in a sturdy metal box — perhaps with a potentiometer installed somewhere behind the wings. And while many early fuzz guitar tunes and tones did indeed make the most of the original fuzz buzz, fuzz actually has many facets, many sides, many fuzz faces, if you will.
There are probably more than 300 models of overdrive, distortion and fuzz pedals in production today. How do you decide which one is right for you? Well, good readers, it's time to practice your licks and get ready to blow some tweeters as we show you 10 things you should know before you buy a fuzz box.
When someone is widely hailed as the greatest guitar player ever, how do you step up and cover one of his songs? Have you ever noticed that the ratio of Metallica tribute albums to Hendrix tribute albums is something like 20 to 1? When's the last time you heard someone say, "Yeah, he played it better than Hendrix," without a clearly present sarcastic tone?
UK hard rockers Heaven's Basement have been tapped as headliners for the "Aftermath," the official after-party of the Fifth Annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards Show Presented By Epiphone.
Deep Purple's 19th studio album — Now What?! — came out today, April 30, in North America. Three songs from the new album, which is available on iTunes, are being streamed on YouTube. They are "Hell to Pay," "All the Time in the World" and the newly posted "Vincent Price," which you can check out below.
In the second edition of the Capo Crusader, Guitar World's Jimmy Brown shows you a nifty acoustic arrangement for the Who classic "Baby O' Riley."
Black Sabbath unveiled another new track last night during a show in Australia. The song, "Methademic," can be heard — and seen — below, courtesy of some fan-filled video.
Today, GuitarWorld.com presents the exclusive premiere of Homunculus, the new album by Tauk, an instrumental fusion/pop/rock band. The album, which was produced by Robert Carranza (Mars Volta, Jack Johnson), was released today, April 30.
"Supergroup" is a word that doesn't sit well with a lot of people. For some, it conjures up bloated egos battling for creative control. For others, it makes them think of flash-in-the-pan projects that never had much of a lasting impact.
The mechanics behind basic delay are simple: Play a note or chord into an audio-storage medium, then get that device to play that sound back to you — either once or multiple times — after whatever amount of time makes you happy. Of course, people have improved upon this simple formula, taking delay to new depths and heights, and often including an infinite assortment of types and combinations in one pedal.

Stimulation of the cow by means of an automatic pulsator such as StimoPuls Apex guarantees best cows milking willingness. Stimulated through the intensive massaging effect of the liners, the hormone oxytocin is released. For this reason the milk let-down response will be activated and only now the milk in the udder will be available for the milking machine.
Milking must start directly after stimulation to gain maximum benefit from the hormone oxytocin, which is only effective for a few minutes. After the stimulation phase StimoPuls Apex gently switches to milking without any delay. Being electronically controlled, StimoPuls Apex is always accurate even in changing environmental conditions.
StimoPuls Apex perfectly controls the stimulation and milking phases. This pays off: Milk yield increases, udders stay healthy, you will save time.

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:On the runway of life, Tim Gunn is the perfect life coach. Youve watched him mentor talented designers on the hit television show Project Runway. Now the inimitable Tim Gunn shares his personal secrets for "making it work"—in your career, relationships, and life. Filled with delightfully dishy stories of fashions greatest divas, behind-the-scenes glimpses of Runways biggest drama queens, and never-before-revealed insights into Tims private life, Gunns Golden Rules is like no other how-to book youve ever read. In the world according to Tim, there are no shortcuts to success. Hard work, creativity, and skill are just the beginning. By following eighteen tried-and-true principles, you can apply Tims rules to anything you set your mind to. Youll learn why Tim frowns on displays of bad behavior, like the vitriolic outburst by Martha Stewarts daughter about her mothers name-brand merchandise. Youll discover the downfalls of divadom as he describes Vogues André Leon Talley being hand-fed grapes and Anna Wintour being carried downstairs by her bodyguards. And youll get Tims view on the backstabbing by one designer on Project Runway and how it brilliantly backfired. Then there are his down-to-earth guidelines for making life better—for yourself and others—in small and large ways, especially in an age that favors comfort over politeness, ease over style. Texting at the dinner table? Wearing shorts to the theater? Not in Tims book. Living a well-mannered life of integrity and character is hard work, he admits, but the rewards are many: being a good friend, being glamorous and attractive, and being a success— much like Tim himself! He is never one to mince words. But Tim Gunn is always warm, witty, wise, and wonderfully supportive— just the mentor you need to design a happy, creative, and fulfilling life that will never go out of style.
Synopsis:A beloved television personality and fashion consultant offers a simple, accessible guidebook to help readers navigate all aspects of life. He dishes out frank, witty, and practical advice in a way that gives readers the feeling of a face-to-face encounter.
About the AuthorBeloved pop culture icon Tim Gunn is best known as co-host of the twelve-time Emmy-nominated reality show Project Runway. He also hosted two seasons of his own former Bravo makeover series, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style.

Educators Consider New Plan to Teach Environmental ScienceComments being taken onlineANCHORAGE - It's a new way to teach kids about environmental science that some say should be required for students across the state. Educators are taking comments on the Alaska Environmental Literacy Plan. Years in the making and authored by dozens of groups and agencies, the plan aims to get children outside to learn about the natural environment that is specific to Alaska and the communities where they live. The State Board of Education will be asked to consider whether to include the ideas in the science curriculum that is required by the state. "They get all the concepts they are supposed to get and they meet the state and the national science standards," said Adriana Amaya with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "But we want them to learn about our ecosystems and the boreal forests and tundra as opposed to a lot of vague concepts or a lot of biomes that we don't have in Alaska." If you would like to take a look at the draft Environmental Literacy Plan or comment on its contents, you can find it at www.eed.state.ak.us/tls/AKELP/home.html. |

Whether your interest is in the white and gold legacy of imperial Russia, in classical church architecture, in the many examples of coherent town planning or simply in visiting a well-stocked caviar bar, a single trip to St Petersburg can never be long enough.
The soaring arch of Palace Square, close to the ill-fated Winter Palace of the Romanovs, is a monument to the Russian victory against Napoleon in 1812, while the Peter and Paul Fortress; another landmark, reminds visitors that back in 1703, it was the Swedish hordes, not the Communists, who were on the attack.
Another must-see is the beautiful 19th century St Isaac's Cathedral, with its gold dome and sumptuous marble interior and if you have an appreciation of truly awe-inspiring bridges, look no further than the Alexander Nevsky. At more than 905 meters, it is certainly the longest in St. Petersburg, but then the city does boast 539 bridges in all; more than Venice, Stockholm or Amsterdam.
Oh and talking of outside spaces, don't forget that in terms of its parks, St Petersburg is better served even than Paris ...

Another day is dawning, let's see what's going on at Zepeda's Heating Co. As always, click to enlarge.
Skip is in early helping to unload a CGW boxcar the local freight delivered late yesterday.
Rick is unloading the rest of a GN gon that came in on the same freight.
The sun is getting higher, and Rick's taking a much deserved break. The large doghouse with the broken chain and "Beware of Dog" sign is all a bluff. We all know Cokette (Coquette) is just a small, cute fuzz dog that's up in Mr. Z's office, helping him build a kit.

The battle was centered on the space that currently hosts Brownsville Academy High School in Brooklyn, a transfer school for students who haven't excelled in traditional environments.
The city planned to put a charter school for kindergarten through fifth-grade students at the location.
Sixty students at the high school sued the city in an effort to stop that plan, and their attorney now says that the Department of Education has chosen a new location for the charter school.
Students at Brownsville Academy range in age from 17 to 21 years old.
Brownsville scored well on its own report cards, and students were worried that the proposed K-5 charter school would have forced the high school to have fewer classrooms with less personal attention.
Tyrone Francisco, one of the students that sued the DOE, said that Brownsville Academy High School turned his life around.
He said he was worried about the impressionable nature of young children in the school.
"We're going to have to be very mindful around them going up and down the stairs, and us being who we are, we're going to have to really censor ourselves around these little kids," Francisco said. "Because we don't want to give them the wrong impression."
The Department of Education confirmed their change of plans in an email to NY1 this evening, saying that the new location will be a co-location with P.S. 167 in Crown Heights.
The approval process with the state is still ongoing.

Sorry, somehow double-posted while trying to edit.
Sorry, somehow double-posted while trying to edit.
NBC probably thought bringing Howard in would help with a younger demographic. What they failed to realize is that most 18-30 year olds don't listen to Howard on Sirius and have no interest in AGT. Howard is so over...his demographic now is 50-60 year olds and they aren't going to take time off from their jobs to watch an AGT taping. This current panel of judges will fail too...no one under the age of 40 and several of them barely in show biz. What a joke.
You have to keep in mind that almost no one is desperate enough to be a judge on AGT. It is a total embarrassment. You can't really fault Simon, etc. While I could select 1,000 better judges, I but none of them would do it.
I hope above all that this seasons Agt is the same magnitude of a train wreck as this seasons American idol.
whats the same between this year ad las year?
The above is strictly my humble opinion.
I said it before and I'll say it again: showbiz ain't sexy. Go back to that photo of the four of em standing on a raft or something: a 55 year old guy wearing a hipster douche fedora; two 40 something women stuffed into dresses, and a gay pelican with a wig and a glandular disorder.
Think about it, then tell me if that is or isn't sadder than any scene in The Wrestler.
The third day of taping was absolutely cancelled.
I did go to the noon taping on Tuesday. At the beginning of the taping, the warm up guy was talking about the crew going out that night to the French Quarter to celebrate the end of the tapings. Ronnie tweeted that they were back in NYC at 3am EST I think? So HS and crew must have booked it to the private jet right after the last taping ended (it's a 4-5 hour flight because of the time change, and it probably ended around 9CST).
Wasn't sure if I should make a new thread about it or if there was any interest, but here was my takeaway/experience:
The arena was about 2/3 empty, maybe 3000 people MAX. The top third was completely blocked off, and one entire side was totally empty. The pit near the stage/near the judges was filled with people, and the arena seating facing the stage was filled. However, this whole section was filled with HIGH SCHOOL students that were given the day off and bussed in. There were 4 or 5 different schools there, and tons of buses outside. The pit was also mostly groups from schools and groups of tourists.
When I got there, had to pay $10 for parking (wtf). They filmed fake crowd shots outside of a fake parade and fake red carpet arrival (Howard didn't take part in any of this). There were barely 100 people outside for any of this, and they had to keep rearranging the crowd for re-shoots to make it look more busy. Howie Mandel came down the fake red carpet on a tiny car. They had to re-shoot it about 5 times, with the cameraman eventually going into the tiny crowd to shoot from above, and then swearing and saying they had to give up the shot because it looked like shit/empty.
During the taping, out of all the judges and all the happenings, Nick Cannon got the hugest response. Probably because of all the high school kids. A few people did "baba booeys" and someone said "sauce on side" but Howard barely reacted. There were two old ladies who yelled out "I love you Howard" a few times, and someone in the pit had a huge THSS related sign. Howard signed someone's copy of Private Parts at one point (someone sitting in the pit near the judges, I was seated way up in the rafters). Ronnie was sitting about three feet from HS for the entire thing, and during the breaks/between acts he stood up and "guarded" HS while doing that "Ronald pose" where he pretends to be a bodyman. Ralph was also very visible in the pit seating, about one section over from Ronnie. Ralph's goofy walk and terrible posture are more horrifying in person, and this was from like 300 feet away.
There were only 9 acts, none of which were great. One terrible dog act, cute boring little kids doing ballroom dancing, a dance crew, two joke/fake acts, two mediocre singers, a boring acrobat, and a good local band (which the judges trashed and called a "bar band"). Only two of the acts were local. Both of the bad acts were from far away, as well as one of the better acts was from LA, so a lot of it seems organized by producers and they're all flown in to get a certain ratio of bad/good in each city or make it look organic. The warm-up guy said the first day of tapings was rough and the acts were worse, so I can only imagine.
Howard and his comments got booed A LOT. At one point he made a "joke" that when he "makes love" to his wife she says she feels like there's a praying mantis on top of her. No one laughed.
At a couple different tense moments producers came over and told HS and Heidi what to say to create more drama and drag out the segments. Also the audio engineering was hahhhhrible, you could barely hear anything the judges said, and a few times HS got booed because people misheard him.
People started filing out when there was about 1 hour left to avoid traffic.
Mostly the whole thing was just lame and cheap. I lived in NYC for years, so I've been on movie/TV sets and been to show tapings etc, and all that usually has some air of excitement or frenzy, beyond what gets manufactured and "sweetened" for air. This felt more like a school talent show or something on basic cable. Definitely not an NBC show with celebrity judges getting paid millions of dollars. When I first heard about the tapings I was surprised they weren't at the convention center or Super Dome since they're in downtown New Orleans, very cosmopolitan area, tons of tourists, etc. UNO Lakefront is on the edge of the city in Gentilly which was badly damaged during Katrina and still recovering (bunch of condemned and abandoned houses on the main road leading up to the arena). But now that I see how little interest there was, I get it.
Pictures from inside the arena, sorry if they are too big or too small
I can't think of anything else worth reporting really. Glad to answer any questions

Friday Films are certainly not foreign to us or our members, but, just in case, here's a reminder that our Foreign Film Series begins today, October 23rd at 7:30 p.m.
Our first film in the series will be:
France (2009) Rated PG-13; In French with English subtitles; 130 minutes
Francois and his fellow teachers prepare for a new year at a high school in a tough neighborhood. Armed with the best intentions, they brace themselves to not let discouragement stop them from trying to give the best education to their students. Cultures and attitudes often clash in the classroom, a microcosm of contemporary France. Francois insists on an atmosphere of respect and diligence. Neither stuffy nor severe, his extravagant frankness often takes the students by surprise. But his classroom ethics are put to the test when his students begin to challenge his methods.
Click here to watch the trailer.
For more infomation about the upcoming films in the series, click here.
Refreshments will be served. Admission is free.
Additional parking for evening and weekend Library programs on Thorndal Circle (behind Nielsen's).
This Friday, October 9th, at 7:30 p.m., we'll be showing the classic film GASLIGHT. The announcement was made last week at the Darien Domestic Violence Task Force's annual proclamation - that October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. (The ceremony was held in the Library's Courtyard (pictured) last Thursday morning.)
The film, from 1944, stars Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, and Joseph Cotton. It's a psychological thriller - one which resulted in a Best Actress Oscar for Ingrid Bergman, a film classic, and a glimpse into the insidious world of psychological torture. From this film we also get the term "gaslighting," which means the ruthless manipulation of an individual into believing something other than the truth.
It's a great movie and we hope that you'll join us for this special screening.
Refreshments will be served.
Welcome back to the movies! Welcome to our 2009 Foreign Film Series!
Hooray! We are back with our films! We'll begin the Foreign Film Series on Friday, October 23rd and will continue for seven consecutive weeks. All films begin at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.

If he accepts, he saves his boy's life but loses his soul; if he refuses, he will grieve as a righteous man until the end of his life. The trap is set...
PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF FILM: INSTEAD OF SHOWING Rudo y Cursi, WE WILL BE SHOWING FOR MY FATHER. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Friday, November 27th at 7:30, we will be showing For My Father -- (2008) Israel; Not rated; In Hebrew with English subtitles; 96 minutes.
Terek, a Palestinian forced on a suicide mission in Tel Aviv to redeem his father's honor, is given a second chance when the fuse on his explosive vest fails to detonate. Forced to spend the weekend in Tel Aviv awaiting its repair, Terek must live amongst the people he was planning to kill. To his surprise he connects with several Israelis on the outskirts of society, including the beautiful Keren, who has cut off contact with her Orthodox family and upbringing. With nothing to lose, Terek and Keren open up to one another, and an unlikely love blooms between two isolated and damaged individuals, raised to be enemies. However, with the deadly load of explosives still strapped to him, he must spend 48 hours in the city, caught between the men that sent him—who can blow up his bomb remotely, the Israeli police patrolling the streets and his new-found companions. Spending this time with Keren and his new friends, Terek discovers the spark of life returning to fill his soul, but when the weekend ends, Terek must make the decision of his life.
December 4 - A Christmas Tale -- France (2008) Not rated; In French with English subtitles; 152 minutes
A dysfunctional family's matriarch (played by Catherine Deneuve) brings everyone together at Christmas to inform them she needs a bone marrow transplant from a blood relative in order to survive. The family's shared history of physical and mental illness, estrangement, self harm, and loss doesn't lend itself to the idea of a cheerful holiday season. But can a Christmastime reunion, a scheme concocted by three of the youngest family members, finally bring peace to their clan?
Our Summer Film Series concludes on Friday August, 28th with the screening of the new Julia Roberts/Clive Owen film, Duplicity.

Our Summer Film Series continues...
The Great Buck Howard
Troy Gabel is a law-school drop out who impulsively takes a job as an assistant to an aging but charismatic magician. The conjurer is definitely on the downward slope of his career, but the mystery surrounding him keeps Troy intrigued. The two embark on a journey across the country staging the comeback of a lifetime.
While watching this movie (click here to watch the trailer), I found myself really rooting for Colin Hanks (Tom's son), who, it turns out, is quite good. Tom also appears in the film...as the dad...but the we-shouldn't-be-surprised but wow-is-he-good performance totally belongs to (the great) John Malkovich, who plays The Great Buck Howard. Malkovich never ceases to amaze me...never. What didn't amaze me, but did catch me a little by surprise, was learning that the the film is based on the experiences of writer-director Sean McGinly who worked briefly as the road manager for The Amazing Kreskin. Wow. I vividly remember Kreskin's numerous appearances on The Tonight Show.
A few of us from the Library had the pleasure of meeting (The Amazing) Kreskin at this year's BookExpo America. Tomorrow night, at the film screening of The Great Buck Howard, you can enter to win a signed copy of Kreskin's newest book, Kreskin Confidential: The World's Greatest Mentalist Speaks Out.
Please join us! I predict it will be a fun (and great) night!
Please come and join us as our Summer Film Series continues! This Friday at 7:30 p.m., we'll be showing Grey Gardens.
Grey Gardens
In 1973, filmmakers Albert and David Maysles entered the strange world of "Big Edie" and "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale, two charming eccentrics who were relatives of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. In this film we are taken behind the scenes of that famous documentary with a shocking and raw look into the lives of this reclusive mother and daughter who chose to live in squalor and almost total isolation in a decaying, 28-room mansion in East Hampton called Grey Gardens.
Fresh off of our Woodstock Weekend, tonight's film will be "A Walk on the Moon."
July 31st at 7:30 p.m.
A Walk on the Moon
Diane Lane, Viggo Mortensen, Anna Paquin, Liev Schreiber; Rated R; 107 minutes; 1999

We are showing you the Norwegian version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Levi's GranFondo
Anyone out there a skateboarding fan? I know that we have more than a few customers that have come from the sport. Aging superstars in their own rights. We might even go so far as to consider the Rapha Continental somewhat of a tongue in cheek play on that concept. Show up somewhere new, ride the area, shoot it, and then begone with yourselves. The perfect combination of travel and brotherhood. Riding with your friends to ride with your friends. So, it made sense to get skate photographer Jon Humphries in on that action.
Navigating the 6,000 people at the Levi's GranFondo was the tricky part. So, we put Jon and our extraordinary Videographer Benji Wagner on the back of motorcycles to let them slip seamlessly (if not soundlessly) through the throngs of people riding in Northern California two weeks ago.
Keep an eye out in the coming weeks to see the photos and video from Cycle Oregon and then Levi's Granfondo on November 11th to wrap up the season of Rapha Continental riding. Although fear not, we still have a few tricks up our sleeves for the coming months.

Montpellier centre Shontayne Hape has been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a series of concussions.
The Kiwi-born former England international has not played since Montpellier's win over Agen in the Top 14 on January 25 and has been advised to take a total break from training for three months before thinking of playing again next season.
The news means he will miss Montpellier's Heineken Cup quarter-final against Clermont in April.
Le MHR have already announced the arrival of Hape's replacement in the form of New Zealander Hamish Gard. A product of the Canterbury Academy, the 27-year-old former Crusader arrives from the Red Hurricanes in Japan, where the season is already over.

Indications are that "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" is selling fewer copies than previous "Call of Duty" games. (Activision / November 30, 2012) |
It's beginning to look like not as many gamers are answering the "Call of Duty" this year.
Though publisher Activision Blizzard has revealed very little sales data for the latest installment of the most successful franchise in the console video game business, mounting evidence indicates that this year's "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" is selling fewer copies than last year's "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3."
On Nov. 16, Activision reported that "Black Ops II" grossed more than $500 million worldwide on its first day. For the past three years, however, Activision has reported day one sales information only in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom, making this year's data difficult to compare to past years.
In addition, over the past three years Activision has reported worldwide sales data for its "Call of Duty" games over the first five days. This year it did not.
At the Credit Suisse Technology Conference on Tuesday, Strauss Zelnick, chief executive of Activision competitor Take-Two Interactive, told a group of investors and analysts, "The most recent ['Call of Duty'] title has not performed as well as last year's title, as I understand it."
And in a reprt released Thursday, Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia estimated that sales for "Black Ops II" will ultimately sell 10% to 15% less than "Modern Warfare 3" based on current trends.
"Modern Warfare 3" initially sold more than the prior year's "Call of Duty" sequel "Black Ops," but ended up selling less, according to analysts.
The apparent slowdown in sales for the blockbuster military shooter franchise is surely troubling for Activision and its shareholders. The slippage comes as Activision has also seen declines in the number of subscribers to its "World of Warcraft" online game, though combination game/toy franchise "Skylanders" has been a growing success for the company.
Bhatia downgraded Activision stock from "buy" to "neutral," noting that "weakness in this franchise ['Call of Duty'] is cause for concern."
An Activision spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment.

The Rotary Clubs of Wensleydale, Richmond, Northallerton and Thirsk joined to organise a schools technology tournament
This event went off well, with 11 teams in the Basic or Foundation level, and 5 in the senior level. I gather that there had been 32 due to take part, but 16 had pulled out. Wensleydale School was well represented and won almost everything. In particular Wensleydale School B Team in the Foundation level produced the most successful crane of both levels, and came first in the Foundation level. The team members were Sam Duffus, llie Duffus,James Allinson and Tim Wilson.

wat do i do path of suicide or path of trying to fight it cant deal with it all any longer
5 Comments On This Entry
i no it is easy for us all to say this to you.
and i do realise how hard this is
but if you want to pm me or talk things through if that would make u feel better. or someone to talk to to distract you about anything . then please feel free , im open to talk
stay strong x
I know it isn't easy. Sometimes there seems to be no hope left but, it's there and you have to look for it.
Start a log of your thoughts. What are you telling yourself throughout the day. Your thoughts will create your reality and what you feed, will grow. So please, try to think of the things that you are grateful for, for the good memories that you have had, for things that you like about the world. If you are open to it, it is about mind control.
You have the power to unlock change and your thoughts are the key. It is work but if you are gonna fight, why not do a little experiment? Does changing your thoughts actually work? It did for me.
Write affirmations and say them when you blow dry your hair. Catch yourself thinking something self-defeating and correct it, no matter how forced or how much you don't believe it. Before you know it, you will believe it.
Please do not think that I am not aware of that dreadfully sad place. Please do not think that I don't hear your desperation and pain. It is so personal and you have a very real reason to have such intense emotions. Finding a way to release them and not hold them in, will help. There's no one way. What worked for me may not appeal to you at all. You will find your way. I know it.
The world needs you. I don't want you to kill yourself. I want the bright light that you are to start shining brighter and brighter so that you can see that this life is not all about suffering.
Someday, you can be a shining example for others and you may be the very real and living example that helps someone else escape the depths of despair that you face now.
I hope you fight. You deserve to see what your life will become.
You have to look up to see a rainbow.

My sisters and I bought this as a gift for our mother. She was thrilled! It is really gorgeous. Highly recommend.
she loved it
Very pretty pendant - my wife loves it. Very good value.
Just as shown on website, it's beautiful.
My wife loved the gemstone, and it was well cut. The only complaint she had was that gemstone was so blue and sparkly that it took away from the blue in her eyes.
The pendant is nothing short of spectacular. After 23 years of marriage, I am almost out of things to purchase for my wife. She did not have a blue topaz necklace. She is thrilled and will not take it off. The piece is brilliant but not ostentacious, making her comfortable wearing it.

sampled on cask at the brewery's restaurant. a nice orange color with the most impressive head I've ever seen: absolutely solid. formed a hole to drink through, like ice fishing, but the rest stayed throughout; when the beer was gone the head sat on the bottom of the glass. smells of funky complexities -- I finally know what people mean by "barnyard" in a beer; also slightly sweet and yeasty. taste is everything it should be. dry mouthfeel. refreshing and so easy to drink that we couldn't believe how quickly a liter disappeared.

March 2012 Bottle
Pours a dark golden clear color. Active head coming out of the bottle and into the glass that disappears almost as it formed. Very active carbonation in the glass.
Smells of lemon, funk, very dry, faint oak.
Taste is acidic, tart, sour apples, but not overwhelming. Very balanced with some sweetness.
Mouthfeel is crisp, refreshing, not too intense of a sour.
Overall, a very enjoyable sour.

375ml bottle dated February 2012
Appearance is hazy golden orange with bright white foam that dissipates rapidly. Smell is of lemon and funk. Diaper funk. A touch metallic. Not overpowering in the aroma department. Flavor is delicious funk, a little bit of sweetness, and moderate acidity. Some lemon rind and nectarine. The sour lingers more than the Tilquin that im drinking side by side. Would like some more bubbles but the lower level of carb is probably true to style. A delicious gueuze.

Bottle poured into a stemless wine glass. 2012 vintage, slightly over a year old at this point. I got this puppy in a box from Belgiuminanbox.com. If you can scrape the scratch for the shipping, it's definitely worth it.
A - excellent. Dark orange and yellow, much darker than Cantillon and other various gueuzes I've had. Cloudy and carbonated. Big head on the forced pour, but it recedes very quickly.
S - meh, a little sour and skunky for me. There's something strange here. I don't get a lot of fruit on the nose, just a champagne-like acridness.
T - the taste is better. A nice sourness at first leads into some fruity residue. Lots of lime, but there's nothing really sweet about it.
M - the bitterness sticks around pleasantly, and the carbonation is definitely present throughout.
O - I don't know how much bottles of this go for in the States, but I'd pick it up again for sure.

05 vintage.
Pours a nice fizzy head, hazy apricot colored.
Nose nice blended sour juice, light funk aged tart fruit like, little grassy light lemony tartness, nice funk and just a touch of oak.
Taste same, tart fruit funk, dry bready malt, little cork, great balance of sour fruit, with a bit of a sharp acidity and some lemony tartness, light wet hey and a grassy funk, very light vinous quality and a good juicy sourness with faint oak. Finish is semi flemmy and acidic, nice lingering sour fruit and light lemony flavor.
Mouth is med to light bodied, decent carb for how old it is.
Overall fantastic beer, on par with or maybe even setting the standard for an oude gueuze. Great structure, acid levels, sour flavors, long finish, just tasty.

Pours a picture perfect deep gold. swirling it around with nice lacing and carbonation. i can smell it instantly. Imagining my backyard is fill with lemon zest fields and straw haystacks.
Taste is nicely acidic. mellow and understated. peppery and slight spice. nice orange(y) flavor going on. so well balanced. The 'drinkabilty' factor is HIGH on this brew. i could have a few of these and not have the life sucked out of my mouth like those delicious RR sours.
Im diggin it. if im being picky, id love this brew to throw a 'juicy' bag around its neck, and take strut around if you know whata mean

375mL (bottled 11/18/2010) into a tulip. Pours a slightly hazy golden color w/ a 1-finger white head, vigorous carbonation.
Aroma is tart, very dry and oaky, funky, a little vinous.
Taste is lemony, grassy, sour, oaky, mildly acidic.
Mouthfeel is clean, refreshing, w/ a crisp dry finish. Carbonation tickles the palate.
Overall a solid, straightforward rendition of the style.

2012 bottle
Appearance- Golden orange, pretty clear with a thin cap of white head
Smell- Lots of funk, lemony acidity is there, along with an earthiness. Definitely dominated by the funk
Taste- Lemon and green apple skin sourness, a bit of a grassy herbalness, which develops into a musty, dry funk. Aftertaste brings more of the green apple flavors
Mouthfeel- Light mouthfeel with lots of prickly carbonation. Finishes dry and crisp, very nice
Overall- Top notch stuff, nothing really else to say. Consistently good and easy enough to get a hold of, I always keep a few bottles around!

Looking forward to trying this beer, after having tried the Golden Blend previously which was fantastic.
Average appearance, golden body with thin white head.
Smell is not particularly attractive, a very funky oak smell with a hint of rotten sweetness.
Taste is better, funky, oaky, and slightly tart. Slightly vinous on the back end. Makes me think of licking a forest floor followed by sucking on an old lemon. Doesn't sound good, but somehow it works.
Overall, a tasty brew. Surprised by the lack of tartness in this, expected more sour. Still, I enjoy it.

A bottle at a small watering hole in Bruges. This beer is dark yellow in color with lots of lively carbonation. Aroma and taste is similar. Typical Belgian geuze. Funky, leathery, tobacco leaf with a very dry finish. Easy to drink. Sour. Just a notch below Cantillon's version for overall funk and sour complexity.

375ml.. Teku glass.
A: Pours a deep golden color with a ring of pure white, persistent head--medium to large sized bubbles. Champagne-like effervescence. Good clarity.
S: Acidic sour, some sort of sweet fruity candy, grapefruit, wheat, earth and funk and grass, mineral notes. Vanilla and oak come out in droves as it warms.
T: Sour apple, citrus, oak as it warms, finishing dry and puckering. Sour is light to moderate.
M: Light and fizzy. Medium body and light carbonation.
O: An excellent, readily available gueuze. The level of sourness really hits the spot, but the barrel character is very light.

750ml bottled on April 27 2010. Served in a Russian River stemmed glass
Appearance: Golden yellow color with less than a finger of soapy white head, which dissipated quickly to a thin collar. Slightly hazy in the glass with quite a bit of visible carbonation
Smell: Lemon, vinegar, oak, musty basement, barnyard, grass, green apple.
Taste: Acidic lemon juice, lemon rind, quite a bit of barnyard funk, white wine grape, a bit of lactic sourness in the finish/aftertaste. Overall sourness is medium.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied and crisp mouthfeel. Carbonation is bordering on high, but works well for the style. Finishes dry.
Overall: Really good gueuze. This is one of the classics for a reason.

Opened as part of a mini sour tasting, one of the most classic gueuzes out there - very excited to finally try this one after the bottle had been teasing me for so long. Pours a slightly hazy copper color with little bits of gold that streamline the edges. A soapy and bubbly white head grows and recedes in one fluid motion, leaving only a small bit of lacing at the very top of the glass.
Quite a bit of apple skins hit me on the initial whiff - very tart in character; sour and lightly acidic, with a good amount of vinegar behind it all. Some mild hops show up, grassy and herbal, and add a very slight bitterness that extends the tartness into the realm of astringency, just for a brief moment. Tartly bitter. Is that a real thing?
Lots of yeast in this one, too - it's got that characteristic Belgian yeast smell to it. Not as much funk as expected, but it comes out near the end and even more as the beer rises in temp. A touch of oak and wet hay, not quite jammin' on the barnyard walls, yet, but this beer is gonna be tart - there's no mistaking that fact.
Oh, shit... Maybe I was wrong. Well, partially. The taste starts off with a nice tartness, but it's definitely not as tart as I thought it would be, especially after smelling it. For a gauge, it's slightly less tart than the Cantillon Gueuze. After the initial sour apple skins, a mild astringency bites the tip of the tongue and quickly gives way to the funkadelic flavors. You can taste Belgium in this beer.
Drub, musky and funk yeast plagues the aftertaste, spread across a canvas of burnt oak - the barrel comes out hard in the end. Really dry overall, especially in the finish, with an easily discernible, funky bitterness upon fading out. By the final sip, oak seems to be one of the heaviest flavors of the aftertaste, and that's what I'm left with after the beer is gone. Not bad. Pretty thin bodied, crisp, wet, and sharp mouth feel, lots of carbonation.
Definitely a great gueuze, and it was interesting to see the differences in the style between this and the Cantillon gueuze (they were enjoyed back-to-back). This one was not quite as sour/tart and the oak/funk was a bit more forward. Both good in their own ways, no doubt about that. If you're on the fence about sours, try this one along with the Cantillon gueuze (if you can get/find them). If those don't convert you, then you'll probably never like sours.

From the bottle.
Appearance: classic hazy yellow with a decent finely bubbled white head.
Nose: Tons of lemon zest, fresh lime, sour cherry, grass and hay, and an herbal lemon verbena note. Bright, fresh, and inviting.
Taste: A lot of zesty citrus dominates the initial taste. There's a bit of smooth, oaky sour cherry in the middle, and a nice toasted biscuit malt finish. Has a fresher, greener taste than other gueuzes I've had and the funk definite comes second to the citrus. Rich, complex, nice.
Mouthfeel: typically tingly and a bit mouth-drying. Definitely refreshing.
Overall: A top-notch gueuze. Much more of a refined citrus and balanced malt profile than some of the funkier lambics. Something you could drink for hours and keep discovering something new about it.

Poured into a tulip glass
It pours a gorgeous pear color with a lively two fingers of head.
In the nose, barnyard funk, leather and dirty horse blanket come through - the usual suspects. But along with this is tart apple, lemon rind, yeast, oak, and the slightest touch of vanilla.
It assaults the mouth with flavor. Sour white grapes and lemon upfront. It progresses into a barnyard funky-ness with notes of hay and grass as well as a touch of oak and then a gentle but big, refreshing sourness in the back. This sour finish is long and it coats the back of the mouth. Underneath this all is a subtle sweetness which helps, in conjunction with the effervescence, to balance some of the sourness.
The mouthfeel is incredible. It's highly carbonated (but not overly so) and this creates a very airy mouthfeel which enlivens the whole beer. The sour grapes, hay and grass come to life through this bright, light mouthfeel. It's airy-ness also means it's very drinkable, although you need to drink this slowly because there is so much going on.
Overall this is an incredibly complex beer and I personally think it takes a whole 330ml bottle to fully process its complexity. A fantastic guezue.

Served in a tulip glass. Poured a little faster than I should have. Relatively fresh.
A: Opaque light copper, almost peach color. About a finger of head that very quickly retreats to no film on top, a bit around the rim.
S: Strong sour smell right up front. This is the smell I expect from a top-notch sour/lambic. Yeasty and musty.
T: Sour and tart. No sweetness at all. Medium oak presence. Yeast is present as tartness fades. A little bitter on end.
M: Not jaw-clenching, but getting close. Thin with medium carbonation.
O: THE classic sour beer. This is definately a starting off point for someone who wants to try what a sour should be. I enjoy this beer frequently.

Big funky aroma, some old cheese, lots of goat, along with some elderflower and lime.
More elderflower as a flavour, also some light sweet malt, lemon and a fair whack of acidity. Finishes a bit astringent, with a bitterness reminiscent of lemon pith.
Carbonation seems a bit high.

Crystal clear light golden body with a 1/4" of white head and an abundance of active carbonation.
The aroma is green apple, vinegar, grass clippings, and butter.
It's tart, acidic, and fruity. The same apple and vinegar is in the forefront with the grass to a lesser extent.
Mouthfeel is dry, prickly, and tart. It's really clean and crisp.
This is one fantastic beer. The taste and mouthfeel really come together and make it fun to quaff.

A 375ml bottle dated 03 NOV 2011. Got the wire cage about half way undone when the cork went off like a fucking rocket(did not foam over however). Left a dent in the ceiling. Don't look down the barrel when opening this one.
A: Amber, orange, golden would all fit. Large rocky, white head and easily the most vigorous bubbling I've seen in a glass.
S: Sour, sweaty, and earthy(like dirt/earthworms). Some sweetness is also detectable.
T&M: Very earthy, and tart. Makes my mouth water like crazy. Incredible effervescence and dances on the tongue like its fighting to not go down. Geuze guts anyone? An after taste of salty sweat.
O: Enjoyable and refreshing but hard to find at a decent price. I'm glad I tryed it but no where near as complex as I was hoping. It was nice to have a Geuze that was devoid of the dreaded acetone/nail polish remover flavor(I'm looking at you Experimental Cassis).

375ml Bottle poured into a Mikkeller tulip
A - Hazy, burnt orange with golden accents. Tons of carbonation in this one which is seen trailing upwards. Huge rocky head that settles down to a layer of foam. This sucker was also under a lot of pressure as the cork blew out the second I removed the cage.
S - Grassy, barnyard funkiness and slight blue cheese are the main components. There is slight lemon, light acidic sweettart, and white vinegar as well
T - Up front the beer is tart with lemon and white vinegar. Then, you get a strong funkiness that is grassy, and earthy blue cheese funk. The light tart lemon carries on through the funk. The finish is big funk still and slight oak
MF - Lots of carbonation and almost makes you want to pucker from the tartness. Dry finish from the oak and lemon
O - Really a great Gueuze that is tart yet has a lot amount of earthy funk.it reminds me of a tarter and funkier version of Orval, which is a good thing. Lots of carbonation as well. Curious to see what aging does to this.

375ml corked and caged bottle. The most unexpected thing happened when I was opening this - it pretty much opened itself. That is to say, once I made the last counter-twist to release the pressure of the wire cage, the cork just went and flew off, bouncing off the ceiling, with not even a single precious drop of overflow. And I was expecting to have to fight with getting the cork out!
This beer pours a hazy pale golden amber colour, with two fingers of thinly foamy, somewhat fizzy off-white head, which leaves some sudsy limestone cliff lace around the glass as it slowly ebbs away.
It smells of tartly sour orchard fruit - green apple and under ripe cherry, mostly - grainy pale malt, prominent lactic acid notes, a middling yeasty funkiness, and herbal, leafy hops. The taste is a leavened tart fruitiness - still apple and cherry fronted - a relatively sweeter grainy bready maltiness, a much reduced funkitude, some static acidic milkiness, and more leafy, earthy hops.
The carbonation is unabashedly frothy and fizzy, the body medium-light in weight, and kind of airy in its otherwise approachable smoothness. It finishes actually on the sweet side, the malt making that extra push, as the other elements stand still or diminish.
A rather drinkable instance of the style, with a still healthy nod to the sassy elements that define the style - acid, funk, and um, jazz? Anyways, complex, sure, as the individual, often suspect flavours do well to come together and please a doubting palate. However, if you're looking for a wallop of that ol' acid and/or funk, maybe head on over to the Cantillon section, eh?

Thomas Bennett was an all-American boy. He grew up in a small town (Morgantown, W.Va.), was in the Boy Scouts and was raised with a strong Christian faith and ideals.
By the time he graduated from Morgantown High School and was attending West Virginia University in 1966-67, the Vietnam War was in full swing. Bennett held to his convictions and tried his best to live a life of peace and to be involved in his school, his church and his community.
While at WVU, he led the Student Code Committee and often moderated discussions between students and local residents about a wide range of current events and topics — including Appalachian poverty, civil rights and, of course, the Vietnam War.
He was a Sunday school teacher at his church and was president of the Campus Ecumenical Council and organized worship services at the residential complex that was later to be named in his honor.
Based on his Christian beliefs, Bennett "vehemently" opposed the Vietnam War.
Those beliefs were tested in 1968 when he, like many other young men of his generation, was drafted into the military.
He became a conscientious objector and because he didn't want to carry a gun, he became a medic.
He was sent to Vietnam and was assigned to Company B (2nd Platoon) of the 1st Battalion of the 14 Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.
He wrote home, stating, "while working for any change, I will continue to serve my country ... there is plenty of hope for changes and for America. I'll stick with her."
From Feb. 9-11, 1969, the 1/14th (the Golden Dragons battalion), was engaged in a reconnaissance-in-force mission in the Chu Pa Mountain region and encountered North Vietnamese forces.
During an ambush, several soldiers were wounded and according to a commendation report, Bennett "ran though the heavy fire to his fallen comrades, administered life-saving first aid under fire and then made repeated trips carrying the wounded men to positions of relative safety."
He exposed himself to enemy fire helping retrieve bodies and aided wounded men throughout the night and following day. On Feb. 11, Bennett ran to the aid of his fellow soldiers of Company B, who were assaulting an enemy position. While trying to get to a friend who was in an "impossible position," he was mortally wounded at the age of 21.
In April 1970, Bennett was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
"Cpl. Bennett's undaunted concern for his comrades at the cost of his live above and beyond the call of duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect upon himself, his unit and the U.S. Army," his commendation stated.
Bennett is just one of more than 58,000 names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. His story is just one of many — not every one of them won a Medal of Honor but each one gave all to their country.
This weekend, local residents will have a chance to go to the Wall to pay tribute and remember those who paid the ultimate price for our country.
The Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall — a traveling, three-quarter-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial — will be in Griffin May 27-30 at Wyomia Tyus Park.
I would urge anyone in the community to visit the Wall this weekend and always remember their sacrifices.
Never forget.

EPL Mid Week Round Up for Weekend August 25 – 26 2012
So the second weekend of the new EPL – English Premier League is over and here is a brief rundown on all the results and action
EPL Saturday August 25, 2012
Swansea City 3-0 West Ham United
Not much to say in favor of WHU 2-0 down at the break, then Swansea made it three and the game was all over leaving Big Sam and the West Ham squad a long journey back to London – time to dwell on where it all went wrong. A stellar start for new Swansea team boss Michael Laudrup maximum points six from six!
Aston Villa 1-3 Everton
Everton are firing on all cylinders two games two wins, one scalp being the mighty Manchester United. Great start for the Toffees who do not usually start a new EPL season on fire. Aston Villa look tired already only two games into the campaign looking set for a long hard season where success looks to be avoiding relegation at best.
Chelsea 2-0 Newcastle United
Chelsea have maintained the same form that saw them crowned Champions of Europe when they hoisted the Champions League Cup 2012. Now they have new arrival Eden Hazzard who looks and plays like a super star. CFC have played three and clear at the top of the EPL with 9 points. To the rest the chase is on…
Norwich City 1-1 Queens Park Rangers
Norwich a side that have all the signs of being a mid table none event team were up against QPR managed by the hapless Mark Hughes. For the five people in the UK who may be interested the score was a one all draw. QPR are odds on for relegation and that will surely duly happen minus Mark Hughes who will get fired around Xmas and the new year time 2013.
Southampton 0-2 Wigan Athletic
It is tough in the EPL when newly promoted and you come up against a lively team like Wigan Athletic who showed the Saints that they are in for a tough season especially if all teams play like the visitors in this match they were set up well, creative as the two goals showed and had dare we say the word a hint that they have wee bit of class in the side. On this form one can expect to see Wigan Athletic sitting pretty in the middle of the EPL table. As for Southampton it will be a long hard season and the Championship trapdoor will be open wide, on this form the Saints have it all to do
Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 West Bromwich Albion
New Spurs boss clueless AVB – Andres Villas- Boas confirmed why he is hot bookies favorite for the first EPL manager to be sacked! Why Not? The bookies have it just right at odds of 1/2 as 1 point from 2 games means 19 points from 38 games which is automatic relegation!
EPL Sunday August 26, 2012
Liverpool 2-2 Manchester City
Well two teams who often deliver more BS than football but this game kept the fans happy as four goals were scored in the game. Two each so I suppose both sides will feel a point each is a point gained rather than 2 points lost. Liverpool on paper look like a very ordinary squad no change that a poor team. As for City I doubt whether they will be able to live with Chelsea and Manchester United this year and they will do well to finish the year third in the EPL
Stoke City 0-0 Arsenal
Britannia Ground home of Stoke City is a fortress backed up by maybe the most vocal supporters in the EPL. So visitors Arsenal never looked like scoring and Stoke were not up for breaking out and leaving gaps that may have given the Gunners goal scoring opportunities. Stoke always line up the same way at home for all the visiting teams except the top four they will go for a win. But when the likes of Arsenal – Manchester United – Chelsea and any other team in the top four come to the Potteries. Stoke will park the bus and settle for a draw which they see as a point won.
