Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
A- Nice golden hue that produced a head that didn't stick around very long.
S- Like a nice Jewish Rye bread, but not too stong.
T- Surprised. Many of the Saranac beers of Summer can't match this clean taste, with a hint of bread and pepper, while being refreshing.
M- Light body, medium carbonation, not to complex which I expect in a pils.
D- Could be a summer winner. Considering the price is right, and goes down easy.

look: 2.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 4
First smell and taste is very spicy, lots of carbonation. Future sips, take this beer almost to an adjunct lager level. Not much flavor or smell. The spicyness and the fact that it isn't sour is the only thing that sets it apart. Very dry mouthfeel, and the small head retains itself throughout.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
nice copper hued amber color with a head that was maybe an inch or so high and balanced out well along the walls of the glass. Aroma was heavy hops at first, citrus and pine, but as it warmed some balance is brought forward by bready malts and hints of caramel. Nice and smooth, clean finish had a nice bite to it but mellowed tremendously as it went down leaving a semi dry, semi sweet finish in its wake.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
A- Clear straw. Head retention is decent at about half a finger. No lacing.
S- Smell tends toward spice, but despite the rye componant it smells more like they spicy characteristics of noble hops than it does of rye. Somewhat grainy.
T- Sweeter than I expected, though this only slightly a negative. Again, spicy, but I really feel this is a product of hop selection rather than rye. Although the further down the glass I get the more I think the sweetness is restraining the rye.
M- Body is moderate, carbonation is a bit too fizzy in the mouth.
O- A decent enough pilsner I suppose, but the rye characteristics were underwhelming. Refreshing and easy enough to drink, but not particularly outstanding.

Picked this up with the saranac summer mix pack. Poured this 12 oz bottle vigorously into my mug.
A. A pale yellow body topped with white foamy head.
S. I can smell slight maltiness with some citrus and thats about it.
T. Very light and tangy with a very small body and not much aftertaste. Very refreshing, which seems to be the theme of this case.
M. Light and clean with some carbonation bouncing the taste off the tongue.
D. I could put a whole sixxer of this stuff back without realizing it.

Part of the Saranac Beers of Summer Box - $13.48 at Sherlock's in Marietta, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a fairly small, fizzy, white head
Smell: Lightly sweet-scented pils malts in the nose, with a growing but gentle graininess as it warms. Soft notes of lemon peel and spiciness from German-like if not exactly German-born hops.
Taste: Sweetish, lightly honey-tasting pilsner maltiness with a slight grainy undertone. Touch of zesty rye malt aided by the spicy, grassy, lemon-hinting hops with their gentle bitterness and still further aided by the carbonic bite of the crisp finish.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation.
Drinkability: A simple, tidy, if average pilsner with a hint of rye which goes well enough with the light inclusion of Vanguard hops. Paired with the TCM television premiere of Metropolis.

look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
The beer pours a straw gold with minimal pure white head that fell as soon as I set the glass down and grabbed my pencil and pad. The aroma was pretty mild; malty rye and barely discernable hops. The first sip really suprised me as it was real bright as the carbonation is right on, then smoothes out over the tongue, followed by tingling the back of the throat. The spicyness of the rye comes out a bit more on the taste as does a matching lemon note.
This wasn't a very complex beer but I liked it nonetheless. The mouthfeel was the highlight of the beer and helps to bringout the mild taste of the beer. A good beer that I could have a few of in a sitting.

Thanks to TMoney2591 for donating this to a worthy cause...me
It has that pale straw color like you would expect that a pilsner would be, but as a rye beer I expected a bit more color and the head to last longer than 10 seconds on the surface. The aroma is a bit sour as I would expect from the rye. There is no unpleasantness from it, but aside from a twinge of lemon zest the rye is really all that I get from the nose. The palate is rather crisp and clean with no real bitterness. The flavors are a smidge sour, but then the citrus mixes with the sweetness of the pale malts and almost makes it refreshing like a barley lemonade, not nearly that strong, but you get the idea. Most other hints on the tongue remain rather fruity in nature such as honeydew and red apple. Though it's not overly sweet in the slightest it has the right amount of fruity notes to make it quite enjoyable. It's rather good on the palate and it's pleasant to drink. A recommendation for me and a surprisingly good beer.

This is essentially a good, solid and satisfying traditional American pale lager with the rye giving extra depth and character to the malt-grain quality.
Golden, it has a medium-big white head steadily shrinking to a ring and no lace.
Aroma is very full grain character, strong dry bread crust (the rye influence perhaps?) hints of apple juice, grass, herbs and hay and the faintest hint of rye. It is mostly a very nice, more full-bodied regular American pale lager with a somewhat stronger, more toasty bread-crust grain character and a faint hint of what is identifiably rye.
Taste is similar. It has a nice, full grain character, firm with an unusual fullness for an American pale lager-type, with some hints of complexity. It has light spicy-leafy and grassy hop character and a definite light juiciness. Light sweetness just dominates underlying gentle bitterness. The character and feel are firm and zesty. The rye is only noticeable as such as a light spicy hint in the finish and aftertaste, but I suspect it adds to the more full-bodied, well-rounded and slightly more complex toasty grain character. In the end, this is essentially a nicely full-bodied, firm, well-founded American pale lager with some slight additional character and complexity from the rye.

Served in a Chicago Bears shaker pint glass.
Workin' my way through the summer variety box. This entry pours a clear pale straw topped by a finger of staunch white foam. The nose comprises corn, wheat, and some light cardamom. The taste begins all standard pils, what with the wheat and floral hops and all, but then deviates from the norm with a nice backbone of peppery rye. Good times. The body is quite light, with a light moderate carbonation and a fairly crisp finish. Overall, a very nice brew: Something tells me rye can make all sorts o' beers even better than before (though the rye AAL still sounds like it'd suck something fierce...).

Clinton Recounts 'Comprehensive' Talks In Pakistan
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has just returned to the U.S. after a weeklong trip through Central Asia. Most of her stops were associated with two issues: the war in Afghanistan, and frayed relations with Pakistan. Clinton described her talks with U.S. and Pakistani military leaders as very comprehensive.

Talks between the NHL and its players — including parties like Matthew Schneider, left, special assistant to NHL Players Association executive director Donald Fehr, Winnipeg Jets' Ron Hainsey, center, and Steve Fehr, players union special counsel — haven't ended a lockout. The NHL announced Thursday it was cancelling 82 games as a result.
The National Hockey League canceled two weeks of the regular season Thursday, the second time games have been lost because of a lockout in seven years.
The announcement was made in a two-paragraph statement from the NHL. It isn't clear if those games will be made up, allowing for a complete 82-game regular season, if a deal can be struck soon with the locked out players.
Unable to work out how to split up $3 billion in hockey-related revenues with the players' association, the NHL wiped out 82 games from Oct. 11 through Oct. 24 — beginning with four next Thursday, which would have been the league's opening night.
Neither side had an immediate reaction to the cancellations, but the NHL said it would issue a statement later Thursday.
Although there have been negotiations between the league and players in recent days — unlike the 2004-05 lockout that forced the cancellation of the entire season — the two sides haven't gotten any closer to a deal on core economic issues.
In the previous lockout, the NHL and the union didn't get together between early September and early December.
Back then, the key words in the negotiations were salary cap, linkage and cost certainty. Commissioner Gary Bettman and the owners were committed to getting a deal that linked team costs to revenues, so each club would know exactly how much it had to spend on payroll and what number it couldn't exceed.
Thus a salary cap was born for the first time in NHL history. The league produced record revenue during the seven years of that deal, which turned out much better for the players than expected.
There are no major philosophical issues this time as there were with the salary cap fight, but the sides are far apart in financial figures. Players received 57 percent of hockey-related revenue in the deal that expired Sept. 15, and the NHL wants to bring that number below 50 percent — perhaps as low as 47 percent.
The players' association, led by former baseball union chief Donald Fehr, has rejected that idea.
The NHL claims the union hasn't done near enough to try to get closer to the league's proposal and appears willing to wait for the NHLPA to come around.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said the league had already lost $100 million in revenues from canceled preseason games. The players will begin feeling the real sting when they don't get their first paychecks of the season Oct. 15.
During the last lockout, Bettman followed through on his vow to cancel the season if a deal wasn't reached by a February deadline. A new collective bargaining agreement wasn't completed until July, long after major damage had been done. It marked the first time a North American professional sport lost an entire season to a labor dispute.
In 2004, Daly announced Sept. 29 that there wouldn't be any hockey in October. New proposals and negotiations in December and January did little to push the sides toward a settlement, and Bettman announced Feb. 16 that the season had been lost. It marked the first time since a flu epidemic in 1919 that the Stanley Cup wasn't awarded.

I love making key lime pies or lemon curd pies. I get to use my micro plane to zest the limes and lemon and you inhale the fresh scent of it. Ahhh… My hands end up smelling like lime from the juice too. When making this pie DO NOT use the bottled lime juice or lemon juice. It will not taste the same. Trust me. If you zest too much lime I read that you can freeze it in ice cube trays. Not sure how that effects the flavor though. Haven't it tried it yet.
To make this pie lighter I used a can of fat free sweetened condensed milk. I didn't bother messing with the egg yolks. One slice of this isn't that big, but you don't need it because you'll be overwhelmed by the sweetness and tartness of this pie. Sorry about the picture. The the cool whip kind of got out of hand.

Lighter Key Lime Pie
- 1 store bought pie crust
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk ((fat free))
- 2/3 cups lime juice
- 1 zest lime
- 1 carton cool whip light or fat free
|Step 1
|Preheat the oven to 325°.

Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to whip until thick, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lime juice until incorporated.
|Step 3
|Pour the mixture into the crust and bake for 15 minutes, or until the filling has just set. Cool on a wire rack, and then refrigerate for 20 minutes.

In this difficult economy, many people have had to figure out a Plan B.
Most of us know someone or have been the person who had to find a new job, pursue a new career, go back to school or start a business.
The moment Robert and Kirstin Neira of Fuquay-Varina had to start thinking about a Plan B was almost six years ago in a Target parking lot. Their daughter, Addyson, had been born 12 weeks early and weighed 2 pounds and 13 ounces. The baby was still in the neonatal intensive care when Kirstin Neira left the hospital. The couple stopped at Target on the way home, and Neira called her boss at a local technology company.
Thats when she learned that she had been laid off. Or as she was told in human resources-speak: There have been resource actions. Im sorry to tell you but you have been affected.
Over the next two months, the Neiras spent many hours with their daughter at the hospital. During that time, the topic they kept returning to was the lack of job security in the technology industry, which employed them both.
We had no backup plan, Neira aid. And so, the idea to start their own business was born.
In the interim, Neira found another job with the same company to maintain the familys health insurance. But the next year, Robert Neira was laid off. A few months later, he was rehired as a contractor. The couples experience during this economic downturn left them determined to find more a more reliable way to support their family and spend more time together.
Watching the Food Network one night, they saw a show about a woman who started a business selling giant fortune cookies.
If she can do this, Neira reasoned, we have to find something.
The couple considered and rejected several ideas: cupcakes, cake pops, cake truffles. They finally settled on chocolate truffles.
Despite having no experience in the food industry, Neira, who has a degree in industrial engineering, talked her way into a class at the Callebaut Chocolate Academy in Chicago. The school let her take the first course but insisted that the instructor would have to OK her taking more courses. The instructor approved of Neiras skills, and she completed four courses.
Neira returned home, started tinkering with recipes and teaching her husband how to do what she had learned. They purchased equipment piecemeal and perfected their recipes. They launched their business, Red Light Chocolates, in 2010 at an annual fundraising event for March of Dimes, a charity they got involved with after their daughters premature birth. (Except for being nearsighted, their daughter has no lingering health effects.)
The Neiras started making chocolate truffles and now have a line of 16 flavors. They use cream from N.C. State University, local eggs and North Carolina honey in their confections.
But they didnt stop there. At the request of Southern Season, they started making hand-wrapped caramels. To keep business going during the summer, when chocolates arent as popular as ice cream and other cool sweet treats, they came up with a caramel sauce for ice cream sundaes. They make holiday-themed chocolates and a line of bark bars. They will even decorate a chocolate with a corporate or event logo, as they did earlier this year for Gov. Pat McCrorys inaugural ball.
Since November, business has been booming but manageable, the couple says. Both still work full time in the technology industry, doing much of their chocolate work at night after their daughter goes to bed.
But at least now, if either loses a job, theres always Plan B.

The Tribune-Star
Mark Twain probably would grin at the sight of John Cornell, Jim Foster, Dan Remaly and their raft.
Most likely, Twain would feel a bit prideful, too. Turns out, words do hold power. Reading does inspire. A book — Twain's classic "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" — sent this trio of 50- and 60-something guys on a 100-mile river journey from their hometown of Lafayette to Terre Haute.
Remaly bought a copy of the 1885 novel at a used bookstore going-out-of-business sale in March. He first read it as a teenager. Forty-five years later, it rekindled his boyhood spirit. Day after day, Remaly pored over "Huckleberry Finn" during lunch breaks, sharing highlights with his Lafayette Parks Department co-workers Cornell and Foster.
"He'd go, 'Hey, that's always been a dream of mine,'" Cornell recalled Tuesday. "And it turned out to be a dream of everybody's. So it just mushroomed from there."
Soon, they were seriously considering a rafting trip down the Wabash River.
"We were thinking how much fun it would be to just disappear and get out on the river," Remaly said.
And that's exactly what they've been doing since Saturday. They camped along shore in Parke County on Tuesday night and continued drifting south on Wednesday, hoping to reach their final destination — the Tecumseh access point just north of Terre Haute — by Friday.
Their saga differs a bit from that of Huck Finn and his cohort, Jim. Huck was a kid. Twain's characters were escaping — Huck from an abusive father, and Jim from a life of slavery — and they found their raft on a wild quest for freedom along the immense Mississippi River. By contrast, Foster is 52 years old, Remaly 59 and Cornell 61. They spent three months and $300 building their 16-foot-long, 8-foot-wide wooden raft, which is buoyed by eight donated 55-gallon drums. They're raising money (at least $1,400 in pledges so far) for another co-worker, Dan Watson, who is fighting cancer. Unlike Huck and Jim, they haven't encountered any murderers or grifters. These guys are on vacation.
Yet, just as Huck's trek enlightened him about the injustices faced by Jim, the 21st-century rafters are learning first-hand about the river so many of us overlook.
"It's so peaceful out here, just seeing the river, the woods and the wildlife," Foster said by cellphone Tuesday as they paddled toward Cayuga.
Just as they passed the bridge at Interstate 74, they watched a bald eagle swoop down to snatch a fish from the water. They've seen deer swim across the river. Blue heron tiptoe along the banks. They caught a smallmouth bass near Manhattan Island just north of Montezuma. When Trib-Star photographer/wildlife affcianado Jim Avelis caught up to them by canoe Wednesday, they were standing up as they paddled, taking in the view.
"It's a beautiful river," Foster said. "It's a lot cleaner than I thought. We're not seeing a lot of debris or stuff on the banks. I've always seen the Wabash as a little on the muddy side, but it's actually a lot cleaner."
They've taken on the most historic hundred miles of this famed 475-mile waterway, which runs from Fort Recovery, Ohio, to Mount Vernon, Ind. Its sweep through Terre Haute inspired Paul Dresser to write the Indiana state song, "On the Banks of the Wabash (Far Away)." In the early 1800s, William Henry Harrison and his U.S. Army troops won the Battle of Tippecanoe near Lafayette, and Harrison and fellow future President Zachary Taylor served as leaders of Fort Harrison on the northside of what is now Terre Haute. At its 316th mile, near Terre Haute, the Wabash becomes the border between Illinois and Indiana.
Though Cornell scouted several points along their route before their departure Saturday, the scenery and places they've seen are new to them.
"We actually see the good and the bad from the river," Remaly said. "We see the sewage outlets, and we've seen the beautiful colors and foliage."
They've also discovered that during this long stretch of dry weather, the Wabash is moving slower than they anticipated. The three experienced canoeists have paddled vigorously to keep moving downstream, especially when steering into southerly winds. "This is a lot of work," Foster said. "It's enjoyable, but it's a lot of work."
Then again, it's also quiet, except for the distant sounds of passing cars on a bridge or the hum of a power plant. And the Wabash, even at its currently low 1.09-foot river stage, is still eye-catching. "I'm seeing big, wide-open water," Remaly said, while paddling.
In that sense, Remaly, Cornell and Foster share a connection with Huck and Jim. The present-day adventurers have a few advantages, including a Weber grill, a decent stash of food, camping and fishing gear, and cellphones. But the atmosphere affects these guys much as it did Huck and Jim.
As Huckleberry said in Chapter 12, "It was kind of solemn, drifting down the big still river, laying on our backs looking up at the stars, and we didn't ever feel like talking out loud, and it warn't often that we laughed, only a little kind of low chuckle. We had mighty good weather, as a general thing, and nothing ever happened to us at all, that night, nor the next, nor the next."
Remaly uttered pretty much the same observation Tuesday. "It's stress-free. If we want to lay down and take a nap, we lay down and take a nap. If we want to fish, we fish. If we want to eat, we eat," he said. "No deadlines."
Until Monday. That's when they're due back at work.

On July 3, 2014, Womens Health Magazine reported on the mistakes and myths surrounding the proper use of sunscreen. Dr. Simon Ourian of Epione Medical Corporation comments on the article and offers his advice for protecting the skin against the harmful effects of the sun.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 10, 2014
According to a July 3, 2014 report posted on the website of Womens Health Magazine, there are numerous myths surrounding the proper use of sunscreen. The report, titled 11 Sun Mistakes Youre Probably Making, details eleven common mistakes even experts make about SPF. The mistakes include shortcuts taken by dermatologists and bad advice provided at the makeup counter. The most common and potentially serious mistakes are made by consumers who fail to apply a sufficient amount of sunscreen and by those who opt not to use any sunscreen at all. (See: goo.gl/RBMuBF)
It really astonishes me, in this day and age, that anyone would go to the beach and completely forego sunscreen, says Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills. Even if one values looking tan over the potential consequences of skin cancer, the aesthetic implications of overexposure to the sun are the wrinkles, lines, and spots I treat on a daily basis in our clinic.
According to the article, it is important to be proactive when seeing a dermatologist so that no steps are missed and all ones questions answered. Its important to have ones skin checked regularly and not wait for something suspicious to appear on the skin. The report stressed the importance of applying sufficient sunscreen and re-applying throughout the day, making sure not to skip the feet, hands, ears and neck. If using a spray, the can should be held 3 inches from the body and the sunscreen rubbed in after the spray application.
As noted in the article, there is insufficient SPF in makeup for effective coverage if one plans to be outside for more than a few minutes, says Dr. Ourian. Makeup with SPF is effective for incidental exposure, but even then the sunscreen should be broad-spectrum.
Dr. Ourian has been a pioneer in laser technology and non-invasive aesthetic procedures including Restylane, Juvéderm, Radiesse, Sculptra, and CoolSculpting. These treatments are used for the correction or reversal of a variety of conditions such as acne, acne scars, skin discoloration, wrinkles, unwanted fat, stretch marks, varicose veins, cellulite, and others. More information about skin care can be found on Epiones website.

SMU News & Information
(214) 768-7659
April 27, 2001
DALLAS (SMU) -- The Southern Methodist University School of Engineering will formally break ground May 4 on a new engineering building to be named in memory of the late Jerry R. Junkins, former chief executive officer of Texas Instruments and SMU trustee.
The new building is part of an overall strategic plan for expanding the engineering program at Southern Methodist University. Future plans call for construction of a second new building plus an expansion of Caruth Hall, the current engineering building.
"This expansion plan demonstrates SMU's commitment to developing the School of Engineering as a clearly focused, world-class engineering school that specializes in training the next generation of engineering leaders and conducting outstanding research," said Stephen Szygenda, dean of the SMU School of Engineering.
Two gifts totaling $5 million from the TI Foundation and the family of Jerry Junkins, and additional gifts in honor of Mr. Junkins, helped complete funding for construction of the new building. Other principal donors include James Lindsay Embrey and Bobbie Embrey, and the estate of Hugo R. Kamb.
"Engineering education is critically important because almost every aspect of modern life is touched by, if not founded upon the work of engineers," said Tom Engibous, Chairman, President and CEO of TI. "The new Junkins Engineering Building at SMU is a strategic asset that accelerates the development of Dallas - Fort Worth as a center of world-class engineering."
When completed in the fall of 2002, the $14.9 million building will be occupied primarily by SMU's Electrical Engineering Department. Classrooms and lecture halls will be located on the first floor and the third floor will provide office space for faculty and students. The ground floor and second floor will house a variety of teaching and research labs.
"This building will define the future of electrical engineering at SMU," said Jerry Gibson, chair of the Electrical Engineering Department. "The quality of our program and of our faculty is not reflected in our current facility."
The new building will allow SMU's Electrical Engineering Department to expand and update its digital signal processing, optoelectronics, microelectronics and biomedical research labs and add a new lab for wireless communications and networking. All the labs will be used for both teaching and research. SMU's electrical engineering program has particular expertise in the fields of communications and signal processing and micro- and optoelectronics.
"These new facilities will allow us to double the number of both undergraduate and graduate students we are able to accept in our electrical engineering program," Gibson said. "Our current building has been a real limit in terms of teaching and research."
Jerry Junkins was chairman, president and chief executive officer of TI at the time of his death in 1996. His involvement in SMU's engineering school dates back to the 1960s. He earned a Master of Science degree in engineering management from SMU in 1968 and later played an important role in the engineering school's revitalization. He served as vice chair of the school's Executive Board and led a task force that examined the school's impact on Dallas industries. He was a member of the SMU Board of Trustees from 1990 until his death.
"It is fitting for this new building to honor the memory of Jerry Junkins," said SMU President R. Gerald Turner. "He was a pioneer in development of the region's high-tech industry, and he helped SMU chart its future as a partner in the region's progress. We are grateful to the TI Foundation and the Junkins family for helping to provide this new building, which will strengthen SMU's alliance with Dallas-Fort Worth area industry."
Mr. Junkins grew up in Iowa and earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Iowa State University in 1959. After graduating, he and his wife, Sally, came to Dallas where he began work at a TI defense plant and moved up through a series of jobs in the company's defense business to head its military contracting operations from 1975 to 1981. He was named TI's president and chief executive officer in 1985 and added the position of chairman in 1988. Sally Junkins and their two daughters, Karen Junkins and Kirsten Kerrigan, reside in Dallas.
The 50,000-square-foot building will be the first built in a new east quadrangle on the SMU campus, two blocks from North Central Expressway. The new area is expected to eventually become the major visitors' entrance to the SMU campus.
Construction of the Junkins Engineering Building is part of The Campaign for SMU: A Time to Lead, SMU's $400 million capital campaign launched in April 1997.
The Junkins Building was designed by Hahnfeld Associates of Fort Worth in association with Ellerbe Beckett of Minneapolis. Construction manager for the project is Manhattan Construction of Dallas.

Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.
Pricing not available
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
Pricing not available
While it doesn't play as loud when it's on battery power, the Sony SRS-X5 holds its own against the top Bluetooth speakers in its size and price class.
Sony also promises that the Android 4.3 update is "right around the corner" for the rest of its Xperia lineup.
A limited-time promotion sees Sony giving away hundreds of dollars worth of movies, music, and apps for the Xperia Z1, Z1S, and Z2.
Sony's flagship Xperia Z1 packs a Full HD display, a quad-core processor, and a whopping 20.7-megapixel camera into a waterproof body and wraps it in an aluminium frame.
The company says that the devices will run KitKat as standard and include some updates to native apps.
Sony can't meet demand for its new 4K-shooting flagship phone -- while preorders should go out in April, the general public won't see the Z2 until May.
Sony's Xperia Z2 will be on sale on 1 April, for £544.98. Plus you get a load of freebies thrown in for good measure.
Some say booth babes are a thing of the past. But not, perhaps, if they're athletic, aquatic, and endowed with the right smartphone.

I wish I could have stayed longer!The house we stayed in was beautiful. The grounds were well kept and gorgeous as well. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch both in the evening and the morning. The room was more than expected. Our king sized bed was very comfortable! The large shower in the bathroom was awesome! The house was so quiet, we weren't sure if we were the only ones there until the morning when we saw folks as they left that morning. Enjoyed the breakfast, expecially the grits! We will be back for sure!

Where's Waldo?
Date: September 4, 2009
by: Jessica Luck | Managing Editor
Mote scientists are asking for help in finding Waldo, a scientific robot that has been missing since Monday. The robot is an autonomous underwater vehicle, AUV, that had been patrolling the waters off Southwest Florida for five days searching for signs of red tide. The AUVs are designed to glide up, down and forward through the water and send signals to satellites each time they surface.
Mote had been receiving Waldo's reports every two hours from offshore Venice between Aug. 26 and Aug. 31.
"Then, bam, it just stopped sending a signal," said Mote scientist Gary Kirkpatrick. "There are a few possibilities that we think are likely. It could have had a major leak or malfunction and sank to the bottom and is just sitting there. Or, it could have had a malfunction with its computer or communication system and is floating on the surface but unable to tell us that it's there."
Also, an unsuspecting boater could have picked up the device, not knowing that it was a scientific instrument.
Mote is offering a $500 no-questions-asked reward for the return of Waldo. Anyone with information about Mote's missing AUV is asked to call 388-4441, Ext. 271.

Barrence Whitfield Radio
A Boston-based singer of what one might refer to as "traditional" R&B (i.e.,'50s- and '60s-style), Barrence Whitfield is the owner of one incredible pair of lungs and limitless energy and enthusiasm for his music. A soul screamer in the spirit of Little Richard, Wilson Pickett, Solomon Burke, and early Don Covay, Whitfield & the Savages, though never breaking big nationally, are a great cult act, a triumph of substance over style, with a bunch of terrific records to boot. Whitfield (real name Barry White, no joke!) came to Boston from New Jersey in the late '70s to attend Boston University. Prior to college, he'd spent time singing in an assortment of ill-fated hard rock, disco, and even progressive rock bands, never really singing the soul music he grew up loving. His move to Boston was a way of putting (at least temporarily) his musical past behind him. He had no intention of starting another band; his focus was on college. That was until he fell in with a bunch of Boston musicians led by ex-Lyres guitarist Peter Greenberg, who shared Whitfield's love of raging soul and R&B. After hearing Whitfield sing, Greenberg was convinced they'd found the best voice in the city and Barrence Whitfield & the Savages were born. For a while, they were the toast of the town, and without a doubt one of the best live acts in Boston. It was a hopeful sign too -- an African-American man working with a bunch of white guys in a city not known for its racial hospitality. After some dues-paying at college frat-house parties, the Savages were ready for the local club scene, and they tore it up. Whitfield was a dervish on-stage, working himself into such a frenzy of screaming and running around that he would occasionally black out. The band, especially Greenberg and drummer Howie Ferguson, were raucous and rough, in high gear from the moment they hit the stage. Their debut LP was released to much acclaim (some of it national) in 1984, but the Savages' brand of old R&B, and the fact that they relied almost exclusively on covers, didn't help them get beyond their status as enthusiastic archivists. By the time the third album was released, the Savages had been replaced by a whole new band, and while the mania remained intact, there was a concerted effort for smoother soul songs designed to show off Whitfield's voice. While America was being apathetic to the Savages, England was going wild for them. BBC disc jockey Andy Kershaw fell in love with the band, taped a gig in Boston for air in Britain, and brought the Savages over for a tour. Among their English fans were Robert Plant (who showed up at some gigs) and Elvis Costello, who was supposedly writing a song for them. Unfortunately, English success didn't translate back into big sales in America, and the band soldiered on with a few more personnel changes, but remained a cult act, touring in their strongholds and releasing fewer and fewer records. In 1997, Whitfield began working with the Movers, a Boston-based blues octet. ~ John DouganPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

RALEIGH — City leaders have been talking for months about creating an eye-catching new logo for branding, economic development and other efforts.
The city hasn't sought possible designs yet, but it will soon have plenty of ideas thanks to a Raleigh advertising agency. Baldwin& has launched a creative initiative called Rebrand Raleigh, giving a series of designers two weeks to create a logo for the city.
Baldwin&'s Chad Temples said he wasn't aware of the city's discussions when he started Rebrand Raleigh, and the agency sees it as a creative effort to discover its home city.
"We're trying to figure out what makes Raleigh special," Temples said. "We've got the talent and the people who are curious enough to look at what Raleigh could look at."
Every two weeks, a different designer will take over the Rebrand Raleigh page on Instagram, a photo sharing website. They will post photos of the city that inspire them and various uses of their logo. Temples said the project will start with Baldwin& professionals, then creative types outside the agency will be invited to join in.
"The rules are to end up with something cool at the end of it," he said.
Baldwin& art director Kellyn McGarity was the first participant, offering a more modern twist on the city's existing seal. A recent transplant from Dallas, she spent the first week exploring Raleigh and posting photos of her favorite spots – from the architecture of the State Capitol to the hand-painted sign on the former Raleigh Sandwich Shop on Wilmington Street.
Moving from the new buildings of Dallas, McGarity said, "what stood out from (Raleigh) was its historical, rough grittiness."
McGarity's final design includes the wreath seen at a State Capitol monument and sun rays to represent "a very positive, Southern happy city." The choice of a rusty orange color represents Raleigh's historic brick buildings that appeal to the Texas transplant.
The longtime city seal that inspired McGarity's logo isn't going anywhere, but Raleigh leaders are interested in joining their Wake County counterparts in having both a logo and a seal.
The Rebrand Raleigh project will run for months, and the logos could eventually make their way to a gallery show. And if the city council comes calling, the designers are happy to help, but it's not their main goal.
"We did this because we wanted to show the area and the people in the area that Raleigh is a creative mecca," McGarity said.

Larger and higher than a hatchback but smaller and more civilized than a full-size sport-ute -- that's the car-based crossover SUV in a nutshell, and it continues to be one of the hottest market segments going. The Audi Q5 lives in the rarefied territory of the luxury crossover. Think of it as an A4 sedan with more cargo space and a higher center of gravity, and you won't be far off the mark. It also boasts some of the sleekest sheet metal in a competitive class that includes the BMW X3, Mercedes GLK-Class and Volvo XC60.
Additionally, the Q5 is one of the larger models in this grouping, resulting in an interior that's a bit roomier than most. Audi is known for high-quality interiors, and the Q5 doesn't disappoint here either. The model's biggest downside is perhaps its price, as the upper trim levels can get uncomfortably expensive. Even so, new or used, Audi's Q5 is worth consideration for people interested in a small luxury crossover SUV.
Current Audi Q5
The five-seat Audi Q5 is available in one trim level, but with three equipment packages: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. Standard features include alloy wheels, power front seats and tri-zone automatic climate control, while higher trim levels offer niceties like a premium stereo, a power liftgate, the available Audi Drive Select system (allowing driver control over powertrain and ride/handling characteristics) and the MMI system with hard-drive-based navigation.
One of two powertrains is offered: a 211-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission, or a 270-hp, 3.2-liter V6 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Either way, Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system is standard. Inside, the Audi Q5 is quite similar to the A4, which is to say it features high-quality materials and an attractive dashboard layout. Maximum cargo capacity is unimpressive at about 57 cubic feet, but if hauling large loads isn't a top priority, the Q5 is otherwise a thoroughly competent crossover.
Of the many flavors to choose from in the luxury crossover segment, we think Audi's is one of the most appealing. In reviews, we've found that the Q5 strikes a remarkably satisfying balance between performance and comfort. Despite having more than 4,000 pounds of curb weight to contend with, both powertrains are up to the task, furnishing more than ample thrust. The steering is accurate and nicely weighted, and body control is quite good for a tall wagon. At the same time, the ride is supple enough to please those who couldn't care less about handling.
Used Audi Q5 Models
The Audi Q5 debuted for 2010 and is similar to the current model with the exception of the availability of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which became available the following year.

In 2011, there were thirty-three million Americans living alone. Living the "single life" involves making your own decisions, especially when it comes to the protection of yourself and your future. Single & unmarried Americans have insurance and financial needs in order to live securely. The Insurance Information Institute suggests being aware of these six ways to do just that:
- Life Insurance – If you have dependents, then you should certainly have Connecticut life insurance in the event that your children have to live without you. However, even without dependents, life insurance can help to pay for final expenses or can be used to contribute to a charity. Finally, whole life or permanent life policies can create a "forced savings plan", allowing for a cash value to be borrowed against or withdrawn from per the owner's request.
- Disability Coverage – Imagine what you would do if you were unable to make an income due to an accident or illness. Some may be covered by insurance through an employer. If not, this may be another form of insurance to consider.
- Long-term Care – Now this isn't necessarily a type of insurance to purchase in your 20's, but you shouldn't wait until you need nursing home, assisted living or home health care. This type of policy can help with the high cost of these services.
- Health Insurance – You should always prepare for the unexpected, no matter how healthy you are. These policies have lower premiums if you go through an employer. For those who are unemployed, self-employed, or students, individual health insurance policies offer the same choices.
- Homeowners and Renters Insurance – Although your landlord should have an insurance policy to protect the building itself, you need your own Connecticut renters insurance policy to protect you and your belongings. For those singles who own their own homes, it's important to talk to an agent about a Connecticut homeowner's insurance policy with the right type and amount of insurance. A homeowner's policy type will vary for a house versus a condo. A condo will require you to have your own insurance policy, as well as a "master policy" from the condo board which covers areas that may be shared with other residents of the building.
- Retirement Income – Income from Social Security during retirement will most likely only be enough to pay for bare necessities. To ensure protection during your retirement years, start contributing to an employer offered 401(k) savings plan. Many employers will match a certain portion of your contribution. If 401(k) plans aren't an option, you should start a tax-favored retirement savings plan as soon as possible. Post-retirement, you can purchase an annuity which will provide you with an income for the rest of your life.
If you have questions about which insurance policies will best fit your needs, your Connecticut insurance agent can certainly help. In addition to offering advice towards the best coverage for each individual, agents can make sure that you receive any available discounts from insurance companies, such as multi-policy or EFT discounts.

The Andover Townsman
---- — In a time when arts budgets are becoming slimmer and slimmer, ACT Andover members say they are always striving to provide an outlet for performers of all ages and abilities. Because ticket sales alone do not cover the cost of the big stage musicals, the 501(c)(3) group has to raise funds from other sources.
So, next Friday night, Nov. 2, 2012, ACT Andover is hosting a Wine Tasting, Cabaret and Auction at the Elks Lodge on River Road in Lawrence.
The evening will include an Italian wine tasting, hosted by The Vineyard of North Andover, foods from fantastic local vendors, including Two Chefs are Better than One Catering, Cookie Central, Scovotti's Cooking & Confections, and The Chocolate Truffle. Sam Adams Brewery has donated beer for sampling as well.
ACT will also have cabaret performance throughout the evening from some of its ACT adult and ACT Jr. members.
While sipping a special wine or trying the latest larger, guests will have the opportunity to bid on items that have been donated by local businesses, companies and community members, including from acting classes with ACT's artistic director, Charles Gracy.
The two signature raffle prizes up for grabs at the event are a walk-on roll to be part of an future ACT musical and a seven-day Caribbean resort vacation.

Well, not really, but it could be.
But I DO love making guacamole, and I'd love to hear about how you guys make yours. Any secrets? Techniques? Special ingredients? Variations?
I use Hass Avocados (the market near me--Vicente Foods in Brentwood--has the best, biggest, awesomest 'cados around), generous amounts of chopped cilantro, white onion, a minced serrano pepper, a clove or two of garlic, lime juice, freshly cracked sea salt, and a dash of paprika.
Everyone who's tried it raves about it.
I wanna hear about your guys' recipes. SHARE!
Mine is pretty darn similar, except I don't use paprika. I'll use either serrano or jalapeno and will use lemon or lime depending on what I have on hand or what's on sale. I've even used tangerine with good results! I'm quite light on my onion and usually just one clove of garlic.
One thing I notice is a lot of people put tomato in their guacamole, but I never do and was taught not to.
re: tiffeecanoe
re: beaubourne
re: beaubourne
If you use tomatoes in guacamole, lemon or citrus juice becomes optional. Acid from either or both are traditionally used to retard the oxidation/browning that occurs if you don't use any acid at all. Vinegar will work too, but it modifies the expected flavor of traditional guacamole.
re: Caroline1
In Mexico where Roma tomatoes are the only ones usually found, they tend to not be acidic. In my experience limon, or what we think of as a Key Line, is always added. I lived there for years and watched it being made countless times. Also salt is necessary, as avacados are somewhat bland and salt will bring out natural flavors in the fruit.
re: Caroline1
re: tiffeecanoe
re: tiffeecanoe
re: tiffeecanoe
No garlic in my guacamole, no paprika, and I use red onion instead of white. I use tomatoes that have been seeded and chopped. I squeeze them to get the water out. I think the contrast of the red onion and the tomato with the avocado makes for a beautiful guacamole. Everyone who's tried it, raves about it. :)
For each avocado, I add the juice of half a lime (or lemon - I actually prefer a mix of both), a couple tablespoons of finely chopped onion, one clove of garlic, a 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder (plus a pinch of cayenne if I want spice) and plenty of salt. If the avocados were anything less than 100% perfectly ripe and flavorful (which rarely happens up north, where I am), or if the guac isn't going to be served immediately, I also add a spoonful of mayonnaise. I spread it over the top before stashing the guac in the fridge and then stir it in to serve. I know it's not traditional, but it really adds the perfect amount of creamy richness if the avocados aren't perfect, and it helps keep the avocado green as well. No matter how much of this I make, there is never any left at the end of the night.
I occasionally add fresh chopped jalapeno or serrano chiles, if I know the crowd I'm making it for really likes spice. I rarely add cilantro, though, simply because I know too many people who have the "soap" thing.
re: biondanonima
Oh, thank you for 'fessing up! I thought I was going to get verbally slaughtered if I admitted I use mayo in my guac. I sometimes use sour cream too. I confess I like the mayo better and everone else seems to as well, though I never mention what I've done. The most disappointing thing for me is being at a restaurant where the guac arrives suspiciously green and non-creamy. Asking for mayo just adds a dollar to the bill.
re: dianne0712
LOL, I have taken plenty of flak for it over the years but NO ONE complains when they taste the finished product. I prefer mayo to sour cream (or yogurt, etc.) because to me the dairy ingredients add a very specific flavor of their own, whereas mayo just adds a lovely unctuous richness without changing the basic flavor of the avocado.
I add a teaspoon or so of fresh, homemade salsa to each avocado and a pinch of cumin. It is perfect, IMHO.
re: tzurriz
That sounds a lot like how I make mine, except that I add more salsa than you do. For 3 avacados, I'd use a salsa made of (approximately) two plum tomatoes, blanched, peeled, de-seeded and chopped; 1/2 of a small red onion, chopped; 1-2 serrano peppers, finely chopped; 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin; 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped; 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro; and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. I mash the avocados in my molcajete with the juice of 1 lime and then fold in the salsa.
I'm curious, do people prefer their guacamole chunky or smooth?
I like mine chunky, and with a bit of wasabi powder (or grated horseradish root).
re: ipsedixit
re: ipsedixit
re: ipsedixit
The kind of chunky you get when you mash the avocados with a fork (or potato masher if you're doing a big batch). Smooth guacamole is an anathema, IMHO.
Otherwise, mine varies depending on what I have on hand. I usually use Haas, although if the squirrels leave me any on the grown-from-seed tree of unknown ancestry in my yard I'll use those. Fresh tomatoes, cilantro, minced onion, minced serranos, lime juice, minced garlic, kosher salt if I feel like making the effort - or a good glop of whatever Herdez salsa's in the house at the moment if I'm being lazy.
I've had some great, buttery, gigantic avocados in Hawai'i: I don't know what they are, and have never seen them on the mainland.
re: ipsedixit
Chunky all the way for me! I was always kind of MEH on guacamole. I could eat it, I didn't dislike it, but I wasn't going to waste calories on it. Until my friend goaded me into trying it at California Pizza Kitchen. It was chunky, it had sweet corn, and oh man, it was heaven!
I set about to recreate it, but the copycat recipes I found online were too fussy for my tastes. And didn't ring true with what I'd remembered tasting, in fact, so I simplified it. Diced guacamole, fresh garlic, lime juice, salt, cilantro, cayenne pepper (hey, it's what I had on hand), and lots of kernels of sweet corn. I just used a bag of Trader Joe's sweet corn, thawed. It's consistently wonderful and sweet.
Nom nom nom. I made a huge bowl and ate nothing else for breakfast, lunch, and dinner until it was gone. It was a huge hit at our Dia de los Muertos party, too, with several guests saying it was the best they'd ever tasted. So evidently I have some people who agree with my perhaps unconventional tastes!
re: ipsedixit
i like an oniony guac, so sometimes i finely grate some onion, for the juice, and then add diced onion as well. lime/cilantro, a little granulated garlic. definitely minced serrano or jalapeno if it's not for family who can't take any heat.
re the Brentwood avos - i grew up in L.A./O.C. and i do have to say that after living in the Bay Area for almost 16 years, i still think So. Cal. has better avocados. and yeah, always Hass, only Hass.
I'm a no garlic kind of Guac-er. And here's my secret, don't tell a soul. It sounds weird, but I add about a spoonful of Mayo (yes, mayo). It makes it creamy and keeps it from oxidizing and you can't really taste that it's mayo. It gets rants and raves.
My ingredient list is pretty similar, although I tend to use red onion. My secret is that I roast the garlic before adding it--roast a whole head and then just use a few of the cloves, mashed. (The rest of the head gets used for something else.) I like a bit of a garlicky taste in my guac but I find that the intensity of raw garlic can overpower the the avocado. Roasted garlic gives a more subtle, sweet garlic flavor which works great. I use a mixture of mashed and cubed avocado--love the texture and love getting chunks of pure avocado goodness in every bite!
re: Lady_Tenar
I like mine with tomato, garlic, plenty of cylantro, jalepeno and red onion. I like to let it sit for about 30 minutes.
I love regular gauc so much... but have been hankering to try Mike Symons favorite version with blue cheese, bacon and sage... lol....
Substitute cumin for paprika, only use one clove of garlic and add a couple of more diced serranos and some diced, seeded tomatoes and you have my most frequent base guac. Sometimes when they're in season I'll substitute diced persimmon for the tomato and sometimes if I'm feeling decadent, I'll crumble some bacon in.
Avocados, fresh lime juice, minced garlic and shallots, fresh cilantro, cayenne, cumin, ground coriander (goes into everything here at the Duchy lol), Maldon salt, pepper. Chunky. Sometimes a spoon of salsa.
Secret ingredient: minced supermarket green olives. Little kick of salt and tang, plus texture.
Recipe #1:
Avocado, some mashed and some cubed.
Fresh tomato, cubed
Minced jalapeno or serrano
Kosher salt
Lime juice
Minced white onion, soaked in cold water for 5 minutes and then drained (removes the bite)
Recipe #2, obtained from an elderly Mexican gentleman at the grocery store:
Boil: 2 peeled tomatillos, 1 jalapeno, and 1 garlic clove - until soft
Put in blender: A bit of white onion, the tomatillos, the pepper, the peeled garlic clove, the jalapeno, 1/4 t. salt, 1 peeled/seeded avocado, some lime juice, some cilantro, and about 1/4 cup water. Blend. This recipe is like the guac you get at more authentic Mexican places, spooned onto your taco, for example.
P.S. I don't care for any dried spices (cumin, paprika (?), chili powder) in guac - this takes away from the fresh taste that is wonderful about it.
I learned to make guac from a Mexican housewife. I rub a bowl with garlic and sprinkle it with salt, then I add my not-too-smashed-up avocado (always Haas). The cool part is a small can of Herdez Casera Salsa. Then I add a little lime juice and chipotle chili powder for heat. People rave and it is so easy.
I most often just add salt and lime juice and mix, leaving large chunks of guacamole intact. Sometimes I add chopped onions and cilantro along with that, and possibly de-seeded tomatoes. I have also just added some salt and some tomato salsa and mashed it with the avocado out of laziness.
A Venezuelan friend of mine showed be how to make guasacaca, which is their version of guacamole. It is really good. It is just avocado mashed with bell pepper, tomato, onion, Italian parsley, black pepper, salt, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar. Good stuff.
I'll take it any way you make it, as long as it's Haas avocados. Bonus points if I get to eat the whole bowl. I have recently become a convert to the less is more camp after being a die hard garlic and cilantro girl for decades. Creamy, well stirred mash with some chunks left, salt, pepper, lime juice and a bit of whatever fresh hot pepper I have on hand.
I grew up in SoCal, eating Haas avocados from the tree in our yard. First (I am told) as baby food, then as snack food with a spoon and a sprinkle of salt, straight from the skin, and every other way imaginable.
There hasn't ever been enough avocados in my life since, and they're never as perfect or as tasty as those from my childhood. Mostly they are sad and flavorless here. When a good one crosses my path I act like a drug addict.
I don't have a recipe so much as a set of principles, perfected over several decades of being a guacamole-loving California gal.
#1 - Green, green, green. Maximize the lovely avocado color and don't spoil it by putting anything red in the mix.
#2 - Keep the texture sensuous - a combo of smooth and lumpy avocado. Nothing crunchy or leafy.
#3 - Some lime juice for snap and to retard oxidation. This is an essential ingredient, without which it doesn't taste right.
#4 - for additional flavors, maybe a little shredding of onion but no garlic (too strong and the wrong flavor - guacamole is not Italian), You can add a little green salsa picante, or a splash of salsa verde for a nice chili backup.
So - this leaves out chopped onion, tomato in any form, cilantro. etc. And never, never,never put the avocado seed in the bowl of guacamole!
Wanna fight about it?
Don't forget to put one or two avocado pits in the bottom of bowl before heaping the guacamole on top.i always throw a little bit of lime juice in there just to be on the safe side Most of the time we just peel and slice A's, fan them over the pit. Fresh cracked pep and a little salt. If we don't eat it all I just cover and they are still bright green the next day. Something about that pit.....
I keep mine "fairly" simple. Always asked to bring it to parties and such so I'm thinking that I might be doing something right.
Obviously avocado
Red onion, chopped and rinsed in cold water
chopped cilantro
diced jalapeno (lots or little, depending on taste)
fresh lime juice. HAS to be fresh.
Kosher salt.
A wee dram of Worcestershire sauce, the secret ingredient
Mash everything gently so it stays a little chunky.
Now I want some!

Two veterans, who fought in two different wars, were honored with medals from Senator Tim Johnson Friday.
Thomas McDill, 91, from Custer is a World War II veteran, a former prisoner of war, and a Bataan Death March survivor.
Senator Johnson presented McDill with at least ten different awards; including the Purple Heart. The 91 year old was one of 75,000 soldiers who spent three years as prisoners of war in Japan and chose to join the Air Force once he was liberated.
Senator Johnson also presented Michael Norton, 27, of Hot Springs with the Purple Heart.
Norton served in Afghanistan and sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury when his base came under attack. Norton says he is humbled by the community's support for all veterans.
"You see a lot of faces that are from your home town and you haven't seen them really often and they are here to support you some even drove an extra 45 miles just for a special occasion and then the support from my family and friends it means a lot," said Norton.
This visit to Custer comes just days after Senator Johnson announced his retirement.
At Friday's ceremony he received a standing ovation when a veteran thanked him for his service to all KOTA Territory veterans.

For Some Jews, Christmas Is More Than Chinese Food
By editor
People joke that it's customary for non-Christians to eat Christmas dinner at Chinese restaurants. But a Jewish community in Detroit is offering an alternative. They work with Muslims to volunteer for nearly 40 projects around the city. Guest host Celeste Headlee talks with organizers Micki Grossman and Dr. Muzammil Ahmed, about "Mitzvah Day."
