HARRISONBURG, Va -- A group of James Madison University students met to watch a movie about life as someone who is transgender. The group also had a discussion of the appropriate terms to use when talking to someone in the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community.
They said you cannot choose your sex when you are born, but you can choose which gender you want to express as you become older.
One student said he joined the group to learn how to not be offensive when speaking to someone in this group.
"I was born just knowing 'boy' and 'girl' and the boxes we all like to fit into, but now I know there's more than just that. There aren't really boxes, it's like a whole spectrum," said Frederick Carranza, a JMU student.
JMU students will hold a vigil Thursday night on campus to remember those victims who were killed for being transgender.

Welcome to Woodland Vineyard
Woodland Vineyard is a small family-owned and operated vineyard and farm winery located in Midlothian VA near the Swift Creek Reservoir. Woodland Vineyard currently produces approximately 2 tons of estate-grown grapes and 200 cases of wine annually, qualifying as the state's smallest farm winery. The vineyard is situated on a small 1/2 acre plot on the family property, which also houses a small winery, an indoor tasting room, several picnic tables and an outdoor patio for guests.
The first vines at Woodland Vineyard were planted in 1997 by owners Melissa and Eric (meet the family). Melissa had begun making wine several years prior, and quickly realized the importance of grape quality and consistency. What began as a hobby quickly turned into a full-scale business, and in the summer of 2004, daughter Megan and her husband John officially joined the venture. Woodland Vineyard officially opened its door (and its bottles) for business in December 2004 with its first annual Holiday Open House.
In the summer of 2008, Woodland Vineyard expanded its vineyard to Amelia, where 1,000 additional vines were planted on a newly-aquired lot.

Comments about Ascenta Health Nutrasea Hp Omega-3 - 6.76 Fluid Ounces Liquid:
I've been taking this product for years! Before I found it at The Vitamin Shoppe, I bought it from an Orthopedic surgeon's office (at a much higher price). I have chronic arthritis in my spine and this fish oil REPLACED the Inflammation medication I was taking and has none of the side effects that medication does. Because this oil is so pure, I have NO side effects usually found in fish oil--if you've taken the cheap drug store versions, you know what I mean.

Dongshan Zijin Nunnery, also known as Jin'an temple, was built in Tang Dynasty with a history of more than 1400 years. Sixteen painted sculpture arhats with vivied gestures and different faces make Zijin Nunnery a place special in the country. Jingyin Tang, behind Arhat Tang, was developed into an exhibition hall of cultural relics.
Tingsong Tang is a good place to enjoy a cup of tea, at the window of which you can hear the sound of billows of pine trees. People say that if there were two and a half halls of arhats, Zijin Nunnery can possess one hall. Statues of Arhat groups with sophisticated craftwork are representatives of Suzhou sculptures and colorful paintings in Qing Dynasty.

On July 26, 1990 the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. The ADA, as it is known, is a wide ranging civil rights law that prohibits, discrimination based on recognized disabilities. This law extended the same protections against discrimination of the fifty-year-old Civil Rights Act to those with "…a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity."

The anniversary of the Stonewall Riots is an important part of recognizing the efforts of LGBT activists in their fight for equality in the U.S. On June 28th, 1969 the modern gay rights movement was sparked by a Police raid on a gay bar called the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village in New York City. Patrons who'd grown tired of relentless persecution by Police rose up and began spontaneous and violent riots that lasted several days. These riots galvanized the community and were the catalyst for the formation of the some of the very first LGBT rights organizations. A year later in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York marches planned to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall riots evolved into what we now know as Gay Pride Parades. Today, June is recognized as LGBT Pride month around the world in recognition of those bar patrons who launched a civil rights movement 45 years ago this month.
K-O-O-P is recognizing this anniversary as one of its Celebration Events with special News and Public Affairs and music programming. Listen in for this unique programming from K-O-O-P, radio for people, not for profit.
Juneteenth, held this year on Thursday, June 19th, is a state holiday in Texas and the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. Slavery played a significant part in Texas, the seventh state to join the confederacy. President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in January of 1863 declaring, "that all persons held as slaves" within the thirteen rebellious territories "are, and henceforward shall be free." It was not until two and a half years later, on 19 June 1865, when federal troops under General Granger arrived at Galveston Island that the Emancipation Proclamation was enforced.
Since then, Juneteenth has been celebrated in Texas to promote and cultivate knowledge and appreciation of African American history and culture. Here at K-O-O-P we will be recognizing Juneteenth as a celebration event throughout the month of June with special News and Public Affairs and music programming. Mark this important occasion in your own way and listen in all month for great programming from K-O-O-P, radio for people, not for profit.

Johnstown —
A fun-filled holiday event will help the Garden Club of Johnstown flourish.
The 22nd annual Welcome the Holidays program begins at 11 a.m. Nov. 10 at Sunnehanna Country Club, 1000 Sunnehanna Drive, Westmont.
Before lunch, which begins at noon, guests can browse two rooms filled with handmade items created by club members and other items that have been purchased.
"It's a matter of preventing congestion," said Carla Straw of Richland Township, one of three women chairing the committee. "Setting up in two rooms has worked out well."
Straw, along with Mary Jo Gardill and Jan Wolfe, both of Westmont, have been working for nearly a year to organize the event and create items that will be featured at the luncheon.
The luncheon, which is the garden club's only fundraiser, attracts 240 guests each year.
The majority of items will be holiday themed, but there also will be items that can be displayed throughout the year.
"Items are priced from $5 to $50," Straw said. "Our goal is to make the event affordable to everyone, which will enable us to sell all the items on display."
There also will be a half-dozen raffle items and door prizes, including a money tree and the table centerpieces.
"We will be raffling an original floral photograph by former Johnstown resident Fred Gilmour of Williamsport," Wolfe said.
Gilmour has been a freelance artist for more than 40 years.
Boutique shopping will feature nearly 80 wreaths, centerpieces, swags and floral designs, handcrafted by members of the club, as well as other holiday novelties.
"For the last three months, members have been busy at our workshops creating an array of unique items," Wolfe said.
Proceeds go back to the community.
"The monies raised are used for our civic development, horticulture therapy, habitat for humanity, conservation and youth gardeners committees," Straw said.
The club has performed or contributed to civic beautification projects in the Johnstown area for decades.
Founded in 1930, the club's works includes annual and special projects performed in order to advance gardening, landscape design, floral design and the study of horticulture.
The organization also has taken a proactive approach when it comes to conservation and the environment.
Ellen Singleton of Southmont pointed to the club's work to limit a knotweed infestation along the Jim Mayer Riverwalk Trail from the Moxham section of Johnstown to Sandyvale Cemetery, in the Hornerstown section.
"By focusing on natural plants, we want to revegetate the area through a combination of seeding and mature plantings," she said. "It's an effort to control the problem, not irradicate the knotweed."
The club's other projects can be found throughout the Greater Johnstown region. They add a touch of beauty to the gazebo in downtown's Central Park, four Main Street planters, the Russell House in Moxham, the John P. Murtha Johnstown-Cambria County Airport in Richland Township and the Community Arts Center of Cambria County in Westmont.
The group also tends a 19th century-style vegetable garden at the Wagner-Ritter House in the Cambria City section of Johnstown.
After lunch, there will be a fashion show with holiday styles provided by Karen's Couture, 9 Entrance Drive, Lower Yoder Township.
A floral design program will be presented by Mary Jane Martucci of Charleroi, Washington County.
She is a Garden Club Federation of Pennsylvania District 10 director and an accredited flower show judge.
"She will present creations for various designs for the fall and winter holidays," Straw said.
There also will be a slide show on what the club has accomplished at its various sites.
"We will have several before and after photos, which show the accomplishments of the club," Straw said.
The Garden Club of Johnstown has 91 members.
"We are the largest garden club in District 6, which encompasses Cambria, Somerset, Indiana, Bedford and Blair counties," Wolfe said.
The group meets at noon on the second Monday of each month at Westmont Presbyterian Church, 601 Luzerne St. in Westmont. New members are welcome.
There are a limited number of tickets remaining.
Tickets for the luncheon are $30 and must be reserved.
Those interested in attending should contact Aurora Gilmour, a club member.
Information: 255-6230.
If you go ...
What: Welcome the Holidays luncheon.
Where: Sunnehanna Country Club, 1000 Sunnehanna Drive, Westmont.
When: 11 a.m. Nov. 10.
Reservations: Aurora Gilmour at 255-6230.
Cost: $30 a person.

Libera Lena Bassani
DAVENPORT — Libera Lena Bassani, 89, of Davenport, passed away Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2012, at A.O. Fox Memorial Hospital, Oneonta.
She was born the daughter of John and Anna (Lira) DeMarchi on Dec. 16, 1922, in Arsie, Italy, coming to New York City, at the age of 5.
She married August Bassani on June 17, 1944. He predeceased her Dec. 5, 2007.
Lena enjoyed employment as a secretary for New York State Environmental Conservation, Stamford.
She loved living on the farm with her husband and riding around the property in a "gator," often picking berries. A very giving person, she loved to bake, especially cookies at Christmas to give as gifts to relatives, friends and neighbors.
Lena is survived by a son, Eric Bassani; and a daughter, Noreen Riley; three grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Mary
Rotelli and Leila Bassani; and brother-in-law, Alfred Bassani; and a niece, Lorina and Pete Pedersen; and nephew, Richard and Gina Pasa.
Funeral services will take place at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 24, 2012, at the MacArthur Funeral Home, Davenport, with the Rev. Carol Wilson officiating. Burial will follow the service in Davenport Cemetery, Davenport.

Arrangements are with the MacArthur Funeral Home, Davenpo

My friend Sydney Lea, the poet laureate of Vermont, and I exchange poems all the time, looking for advice, praise and complaints. Complaints are good, of course. They help us with the poem. This is a brand new one from him that he gave me permission to use here.
We have another bond in our friendship—both of us own cottages that have been with our families for a long time, his in Maine, ours here. Both of us love the woods. Syd has been responsible for saving thousands of acres of his beloved woods in the Downeast Land Trust. I admire him a lot. And I wish we saw as many minnows in our lake these days as Syd finds in his.
As for our cottages, we both know what it's like to close up for the season. Every closing up is an ending. There's a tenderness in the heart, putting away the kids' toys, the fishing rods, bringing up the boats, covering the beds with plastic (did you know sheets of fabric softener will keep mice away?). Just yesterday I threw out the pitcher of wildflowers brought in by some grandchild. It was the pitcher that sat by the stove full of utensils, all dumped into the drawer when we weren't looking, in favor of flowers.
This poem has such a strong sense of time—the loon chick who's escaped the raptor one more time, the aging speaker, the released minnows, the wilting black-eyed Susans, the fish they ate for dinner last night. All past, no longer looking forward, except toward home.
I especially love the end of the poem. Maybe those are tears, as he throws out the "dim" bouquet. What does he want but to sing in some way this love, love of place, love of his wife? The pause he speaks of? That could be the poem itself, stopping to look at what's here, now.

Police in Atlanta say a man was defending himself when he shot and killed a suspected robber on Christmas Eve.
Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones says the attempted robbery happened Monday night on Jackson Street in southeast Atlanta.
Jones said investigators found that two men tried to rob a person, and the intended victim pulled his own gun to defend himself and shot one of the suspects.
Police tell The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/ZA2h7N) that the suspect who survived, a 21-year-old man, was taken into custody and is facing charges including armed robbery. Police said the dead man's name was not being released until relatives could be notified.

Now, Francis, who serves as the vice president of hockey operations for the Carolina Hurricanes, is a pioneer for the sport in the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, as he becomes the first hockey player to be inducted.
Francis, 50, is among 10 other inductees enshrined in the Hall of Fames 50th annual class.

My first prediction is the Twins will offer arbitration to all three. First, the dollars they will potentially receive for 2014 will not be huge, so the Twins could take them on. Secondly, each would have at least some measure of trade value at the dollars he will receive. Plouffe has shown flashes of power, is young and has the ability to play a lot of positions. Swarzak can eat a lot of innings out of the bullpen or there may be some teams that think he could be a back-of-the-rotation starter. Duensing is a left-handed reliever who, aside from 2013, has dominated left-handed hitters. Again, there is value in that.
Below, I will put out predictions for each of these players as it relates to tonight and his arbitration process.
Last year at this time Duensing and the Twins settled on a $1.3 million contract for 2013 . He went 6-2 with a 3.98 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 61 innings. He walked just 22 and struck out 56. He is in line for a raise with projections being anywhere from $1.8 million to $2.3 million. Duensing will be 31 years old through the 2014 season.
Prediction: The two sides will reach an agreement today and won't need to exchange numbers. My guess is $2.1 million. If they don't, I would think the Twins will come in at $1.8 and Duensing's side will come in at $2.5.
Offseason Handbook Prediction: $2.5 million
MLB Trade Rumors Prediction: $1.9 million
This year, Anthony Swarzak is eligible for arbitration for the first time. He led all relievers in 2013 with 96 innings pitched. He walked 22 and struck out 69. He posted a 3-2 record with a 2.91 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. He will be 28 years old through the 2014 season. Projections have been that he would make $0.8 million, but I could see him getting as much as the $1.3 million that Duensing made a year ago.
Prediction: I think the two sides will come together on a deal at or just over $1 million dollars. If not, I think the Twins will offer $800,000 while the Swarzak camp will likely ask for closer to $1.4 million.
Offseason Handbook Prediction: $1.3 million.
MLB Trade Rumors Prediction: $800,000.
Trevor Plouffe is an interesting case, in his first year as an arbitration-eligible player. Last year, he hit .254/.309/.392 (.701) with 22 doubles, one triple, 14 home runs, and 52 RBI in a career-high 129 games. He won't turn 28 until mid-June.
Prediction: My sense is that this one won't settle today and the two sides will exchange numbers. I think the Twins will offer about $1.4 million and Plouffe's side could ask for as much as $2.2 million. At the end of the day, they'll likely agree on a deal somewhere around $1.75 million.
Offseason Handbook Prediction: $2.0 million
MLB Trade Rumors Prediction: $2.1 million
So there are my predictions with the predictions of the Twins Daily Offseason Handbook and MLB Trade Rumors. What are your thoughts? What will they offer to these three players and what kind of money would you offer or find acceptable? Get your thoughts in before tonight's 11 p.m. CT deadline.

Thursday marks World Animal Day, a day dedicated to all species of animals worldwide.
People are encouraged to consider adopting a pet if they can provide a good home, while also making sure pets are being seen regularly by their primary care veterinarian.
BluePearl Veterinary Partners based in Kansas City, recommends having your pet be seen by your family veterinarian at least twice a year. Additionally, make sure pets are current on medications like heartworm and flea prevention.
"World Animal Day is a day to reflect on the animals that bring joy to our lives and be thankful for all they do for us," said Dr. Neil Shaw, chief medical officer at BluePearl.
"One way people can show their thanks is by making sure their pets are current on check-ups and medicine to ensure their pets have the best quality of life."

Annual Invasive Species Conference
About the Conference
The Alaska Committee for Noxious and Invasive Plant Management and the Alaska Invasive Species Working Group organize an invasive species conference held annually in the late fall. The conference rotates between locations in Anchorage, Fairbanks and various rural communities.
The conference is a forum for discussing invasive species management activities within the state and offers expert presentations about emerging invasive species science and management issues. The conference typically draws 100 to 150 participants.
The 2013 Conference
The 2013 conference was held November 5 - 7 in the city of Fairbanks at the Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge.
The Fairbanks North Star Borough has an active invasive species management group which, in conjuction with various other partners, works through the Fairbanks Soil and Water Conservation District. Fairbanks offers a unique perspective on invasive species management considering the reliance of many remote communities on native fish, wildlfe and plant species. This year's conference hosted a variety of topics highlighting invasive species management and science in the Fairbanks area as well as emerging issues statewide.

Duraflex Jacketing
When was the last time you looked closely at your electric dryer's power cord? Considering most are tucked away behind the appliance, you'd be hard pressed to tell if it has been torn, damaged or become loose. With years of lint built-up, detergent, chlorine spills (or worse) lurking behind your dryer, you'll appreciate the peace of mind you get with the protection of a high-quality Monster PowerDryer power cord. Monster surrounds PowerDryer 300 with heavy-duty conductors in ultra-flexible, kink and tear-resistant Duraflex material. Snags or rips that can expose dangerous, live high-voltage electrical conductors are minimized. The Duraflex jacket is also designed to resist a wide variety of corrosive chemicals commonly found in laundry areas.
PowerFlow Diagnostic Indicator
When a major appliance stops working, the first thing most people do is scratch their heads and wonder "Is it the appliance, or the power?" One glance at the PowerFlow Indicator and you'll know if it's time to check the circuit breaker or call a repair technician. If the light is glowing, you know the outlet is "live" and the problem lies with your dryer. If there is no light, check the circuit breaker or call an electrician. It's that easy and convenient.
24k Contacts and Dual-Point Strain Relief
Everyone knows that common brass tarnishes over time. Not so with Monster's 24k gold contact connections. Gold contacts optimize power transfer while resisting corrosion that the laundry room environment may cause. Monster's StressGuard strain relief, designed into the heavy-duty injection molded plug, reduces harmful stress when pulled. The metal strain relief included in the PowerDryer kit keeps the dryer-side connections from coming loose when the cord is jostled - like when cleaning lint build-up. A special plating resists corrosion as well.

May, VanDenberg, Fee, Wollam and Snyder all take checkers at Marshalltown Speedway
Looked as if Mother nature was trying to ruin the fun with some scattered showers but eventually it clear up and allowed us to race and finish despite a late light sprinkle.
The first feature of the night was the O'Reilly Auto Parts Mod Lites. James May would take the early race lead but then the only race caution came out on lap 6. On the restart, Andy Hennigar would take the lead from May but Hennigar's lead would be short lived as Hennigar would bobble in turn 4 and allow Josh May to get by Hennigar and James May for the lead. Josh May would go on to take his 7th feature win at Marshalltown during weekly point nights. Randy Bryan, James May, Mike Morrill and Andy Hennigar would round out the top 5.
Toby K's Hideaway IMCA Hobby Stocks 12 lap feature was up next. After the Initial start was called back it was the Rookie Brice Udelhoven taking the lead. Kevin Fee would chase down Udelhoven and make the pass coming to the flying green. Fee would take the win with Udelhoven in 2nd, Jennifer Hulin in 3rd, Eric Larson in 4th and Eric Knutson in 5th.
In the Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel IMCA Modifieds feature it was Todd Conrad taking the early lead. Todd Shute made the pass on Conrad for the lead on lap 6. Then the first race caution waved on lap 9 but still Shute would lead until Jon Snyder would make the move and get by on lap 14. The final 2 race cautions came out on lap 17 but it didn't slow Snyder down as he would go on and take his 6th feature win at Marshalltown. Ronn Lauritzen, Richie Gustin, Todd Shute and Jimmy Gustin rounded out the top 5.
Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sport Mods feature would be next for 15 laps. Zack Rawlins would take the early race lead but Carter VanDenberg in a borrowed race car would get by and take the lead on lap 3. The only race caution came out on lap 6 for a 3 car tangle up in turn 2. VanDenberg would be able to hold on and go on and take the win his first at Marshalltown this year. Jared Van Deest took 2nd, Doug Smith was 3rd, Jenae Gustin would end up 4th and Dylan Book was 5th.
The Mike's Hard Lemonade IMCA Stock Cars was the final feature of the night and it was Todd Reitzler taking the early lead but Jeff Wollam would make the pass on lap 3. 2 Laps later the only race caution came out but it wouldn't let it bother Wollam. Wollam would have to hold off charges by Trent Murphy and Tracy Gienger and deal with lap traffic but go on and take his first feature at Marshalltown since August 15th, 2008. Gienger would take 2nd, Murphy was 3rd, Jay Schmidt took 4th and Damon Murty was 5th.
The final race of the night was the Modified Gambler race. Luke Wanninger would lead the first 8 laps before Jon Snyder would finally be able to get by and take the lead on lap 9. Snyder would go on and take the $300 in the gambler race meanwhile Todd Shute would slide off the top of turn 3 and roll his car, Shute would climb from the car okay. Snyder would be followed by Wanninger, Richie Gustin, Ronn Lauritzen and Mike Jergens.
Racing came to an end just before 10pm. Next Friday night we are back at it with New Hope Christian Church Cardboard Classic and J&V Napa Auto Parts Night where Hot Laps at 7p and Racing to Follow.

Here we sit basking in the glow of Christmas: gifts have been given, cards have been mailed, we've called our friends and family, and donated gifts to those who need a little help. That warm feeling that swells in your heart this time of year comes from the acts of giving. It doesn't matter if the giving comes wrapped with a bow. The Grinch was right: "What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?"
Acts of kindness do just as much for the giver as they do for the recipient. Just as the Whos in Whoville together rose above the dastardly deeds of the Grinch, families on the Northeast shore are helping one another though their own homes lie in destruction, and strangers are demonstrating public displays of honor as firefighters and bikers line the funeral procession routes in Newtown, Connecticut, and #26Acts of Kindness is sweeping the nation as a living memorial movement, doing something good for others in the face of adversity, helps one's heart mend and reminds us that there is kindness in the world.
It's amazing to see people come together for a cause, but I wonder why this can't be a regular practice instead of a response to something awful. Can we capture the Christmas spirit and continue it all year long?
Rather than focusing my New Year's resolution on myself, I'm going to try to do something different. This year my New Year's resolution is to do at least one act of kindness each week. It can be planned or spontaneous, but something that makes another person feel good. The personal gain: keeping that warm glowing feeling going all year.
Here's my starter list of kindness ideas, collected from randomactsofkindness.org and other kindness action websites:
For Your Heroes: Donate Girl Scout cookies to deployed troops through Operation Gratitude, write a letter to your personal hero.
For the Homeless: Donate food to the local food pantry such as ACTS, see how you can help at the homeless shelter, make "carepacks" comprised of a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, tissue, granola bars, etc.
Pocket Change: Pay for someone's coffee in line behind you in the store or drive thru, pay the toll for someone behind you, tape exact change to a vending machine.
Trash to Treasure: Do some spring cleaning and donate used clothes to a charity.
Public Do-Gooder: Offer gum to those sitting around you on public transportation, give up your seat for someone who could use the rest, leave a post-it with a positive quote on your seat on the bus or in a public bathroom mirror.
Shop & Dine: Anonymously pay for the meal of someone sitting in the restaurant where you're dining, pay for someone's layaway gifts, give positive feedback on a comment card and mention your server by name, leave a larger than normal tip, return the shopping cart for someone in the parking lot.
For Hospitalized/ Nursing Homes: Make cards with your favorite positive quotes and deliver them to residents, bring the nursing home your magazines rather than throwing them away, donate new stuffed animals to the children's wing at the hospital, make bright and fun pillowcases for patients, read to someone.
Workplace: Praise your boss for something he/she has done well, help a coworker who is overwhelmed by a task, hold the door or elevator for someone, invite someone new to lunch, bring in a coffee or muffin for a coworker.
Home Sweet Home: Read an extra bedtime story without being asked, give an extra hug or "I love you", put a vase with a flower in their bedroom, leave them a note on their pillow, make their favorite meal, do their least favorite chore for them.
This, I think, is a resolution I can keep. By making a concerted effort to do acts of kindness, I'll put it into regular practice, and soon they will be no effort at all--just something that I do. I'm hoping I'll be a kinder and more giving person this time next year. Won't you join me? Perhaps your heart too can grow three sizes this year?
A Year of Kindness: A Resolution to Grow the Heart and Help Others
Will this new year's resolution help me keep the Christmas spirit all year 'round?
Here we sit basking in the glow of Christmas: gifts have been given, cards have been mailed, we've called our friends and family, and donated gifts to those who need a little help. That warm feeling that swells in your heart this time of year comes from the acts of giving. It doesn't matter if the giving comes wrapped with a bow. The Grinch was right: "What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?"

Staff Reports
Niagara Gazette
A Toronto man was stopped by TSA officers Buffalo-Niagara International Airport on Sunday after the officer who was staffing the checkpoint X-ray machine spotted a 3-foot long martial arts-style Samurai sword among the man's carry-on items. The sharp-bladed sword was in a sheath and packed in its own box.
TSA contacted the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority Police who responded. The passenger told officials that he thought that the sword was permitted to be brought onto the plane, but he was mistaken. The man surrendered the sword and was able to catch his flight —minus the sword. There was no impact to airport operations.
As a reminder, weapons — including swords — are not permitted in carry-on baggage. Passengers are responsible for the contents of bags they bring to the security checkpoint, and TSA's advice to passengers is to look through bags thoroughly before coming to the airport to make sure there are no illegal or prohibited items. Travelers can be fined thousands of dollars if they are caught with prohibited items at the airport.
Passengers can review the prohibited items list on the TSA homepage or they can download the free MyTSA application from the TSA homepage. The TSA web site and the MyTSA app have a "Can I Bring?" feature that allows users to type in items they plan to bring on a trip to get an explanation of TSA's security policies for the item, including whether the item can be taken in carry-on luggage through the security checkpoint, packed in checked baggage, both, or neither. The mobile app is available to download for free at www.tsa.gov.

Drew Peterson's lead attorney may have taken a dive during the convicted wife-killer's murder trial in hopes of boosting his fame, a retired judge testified Wednesday morning.
If attorney Joel Brodsky had somehow managed to win Peterson's murder trial, "The spigot could be turned off. The interest could probably wane," retired Cook County Judge Daniel Locallo testified.
Peterson attorney Steve Greenberg referenced the Casey Anthony case and pointed out that no one is very interested in her attorney, Jose Baez, since he beat the murder case brought against the Florida mother.
Locallo also said Brodsky was "prejudiced" against Peterson because of a contract the two of them signed with a Florida publicist. He also said Brodsky's decision to call his slain wife's divorce attorney as a witness was a huge mistake.
"So far I haven't heard any explanation for why he made this renegade, obviously ineffective move," Greenberg said of Brodsky calling Smith to the stand.
Peterson was found guilty in September of murdering his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Brodsky, who Greenberg said insisted his co-counsel call "coach," is no longer part of the defense team. Peterson's remaining lawyers have since blamed Brodsky for losing the case and are trial to get Judge Edward Burmila to grant a new trial.
Greenberg and attorney Joseph "Shark" Lopez said they may call one more witness Wednesday afternoon. They would not identify the witness or disclose whether Peterson will testify.

Listed at brewery as a "newer style", I don't think this fits as an English pale ale, but the category is not specified by the brewer. I rated against a lighter version: English Pale Mild Ale, as pilsner malts were used in the beer.
A: clear golden with much carbonation, sustaining a good layer of head on the surface.
S: I just don't get much, but it is lager-ish in nature. There is a light copper bitterness I think, reminiscent of an English pale ale
T: again, if I didn't know it was an ale, I'd rate it as a pilsner. A light malt sweetness (bread, honey, something I'll call "candied orange") combined with an even lighter grapefruit bitterness.
M: for the amount of carbonation that shows, the beer is very smooth, almost like it was nitro (I didn't ask for cask).
O: presenting to me as more of a lager, it didn't quite do it for me. It was fine/decent, just nothing to bring me back to it. However, this would be a decent beer to try at the brewpub if you are staring to crossover to craft beers.

Enjoyed at the brewery. Thin head on a hazy pale golden body. Aroma doesn't really pull in the advertised citra hops. Instead this one is very malty. Flavor is also very malty and very complex actually. Many malt varieties used produce musty, earthy and sweet flavors. The citra hops may contribute a bit of citrus sweetness near the finish but bitterness from malts cancel it out rapidly. Medium body with casked smoothness. It's not a bad beer but I was more interested when I saw it used citra hops. I was let down overall.

I had this on tap at Mad Fox.
Served in a slender pilsener glass.
A: Poured a fairly dark yellow color, with a slight chill haze, and a nice cottony head.
S: I got a good bit of wheat, corn, citrus, and lemon all reduced down into liquid form with added alcohol. Nice.
T: This wasn't as refreshing as I'd hoped. The lemon was just too assertive for it to be described as a crisp, summer brew. However, the finish had the delicateness I was searching for.
M: Not much prickle on the carbonation which I though was a huge problem and the lacing was low to non-existent.
O: This was a major disappointment to me, but it still was better than many lesser alehouses' A-game efforts.

Had no tap today at the brewpub. Poured in a pint glass. Menu said it was 5.2% ABV; also just won a Bronze medal at GABF.
a - Pours a hazy orange color with two inches of white head and moderate carbonation evident.
s - Smells of bitter, light citrus hops, grains, biscuit, and bready malts. Citrus is nice up front, but not overly strong.
t - Tastes of citrus hops, lemon, fruit, biscuit, grain, and bready malts. More fruit and citrus than the nose, and a bit of a step up.
m - Medium body and moderate to high carbonation in the mouthfeel. A pretty easy to drink pale ale.
o - Overall a pretty good pale ale. Not my favorite Mad Fox brew, or pale ale, but still very easy to drink. Would have liked a little more out of the nose, but the taste was good. Nose reminded me a little bit of their bitter, though the taste was a little more like their IPA's. Would have it again.

Pours a hazy golden body with plenty of head that generously laces the glass almost the whole way down. Aromas are very subdued, somewhat grainy with a faint and nebulous hop component. The taste is considerably better, with a powerful flavor of freshly pulverized grains being perfectly complemented by hoppy notes of bitter salad greens and lemon peel. The harmony could not be better. This is the perfect "day beer," one that I would be content to drink round after round.

From tap to nonic pint glass at Mad Fox on 7/12/11
*From notes
A: Sunrise, somewhat unfiltered amber in color. A 1.5 finger head dissipates quickly and leaves little to no lacing.
S: It's got an inviting lemon-biscuit quality to it. Mild yeast is detectable, and a faint kiss of hop oil resides on the back end.
T: Soft and easygoing. Wonderful for summer. A touch of floral notes up front, fruity, almost rigid hops on the mid with a nice amount of citrus. The back end yields an acidic bready-lemongrass. Slightly earthy and quite hearty. It finishes almost spot-on to their Kolsch.
M: Could use a bit more oomph in the body, but it's not really necessary. For the style it works, and well. Decent carbonation.
O: Mad Fox's English Summer Ale is a pretty great little session beer. At 5% ABV, it's the perfect beer for a hot night on the patio behind the grill. Well done, Bill.

Pours lint gold with a bit of haze. Nose brings forward some nice citrus and floral hops. Taste brings the perfect amount of bitterness for a lighter style. Definite floral characteristics. Feel is light with prickly carbonation. Drinks really well--glad I finally got it to try this.

English Summer Ale, served on tap at Mad Fox brewpub, Falls Church, VA. Enjoyed on 09/05/10.
Appearance: A slightly hazed, pale straw yellow, replete with quick and fine effervescence that rises mercurially to the remnants of a one finger dull white head, now only a consistent sheen and some sheets of lace. The lacing is delicate, glittery, fine, like pearls on the sides of the glass.
Aroma: Like the Kolsch I just finished, very faint. Hints of dry, crackery malts and faint fruit esters are about all I'm getting out of this one.
Taste: Very biscuity, crackery - tastes like Maris Otter and pilsen. Its not too sweet or too dry, but in that nice in between zone. A faint hop bitterness and some grassy, noble hop notes accompany a hint or citrus and a nice, chalky, yeasty undertone.
Mouthfeel: Very well carbonated, and relatively moderately bodied, for an even smooth feel with a lot of elevation.
Drinkability: A good beer in an interesting style, sort of an American summer ale with an English twist. I wasn't even quite sure what style to put this down as, but I think it has enough hop character to quality as an English Pale. I enjoyed this one quite a bit - it was robust and flavorful enough that I wouldn't have minded a second glass.
