From a 473 ml can. Pours out a clear pale gold hue, very similar to apple juice, lots of carbonation at first and then the body settles once the head disappears. Speaking of the head, it's a tall fizzy white mass that slowly settles to a thin film.
Sour, earthy grains on the nose, some floral hops, plus notes of the pear juice mentioned in the ingredients list.
The flavour isn't quite as off-putting as the aroma, however isn't that inviting either after a few sips. Dry apple/pear skin up front, an acidic cider character in the middle, with tart earthy grains and leafy, spicy hops on the finish.
Light-bodied mouthfeel, with a thin slick texture, and some brisk carbonation.
On a personal level I'm not the biggest fan of the bite that fermented sorghum offers, which the hops accentuate even morseo in this beer, and neither the pear juice or demerara sugar manage to offset it. This one isn't for me, but I'm not celiac with limited options either. Yet if I were I'd forget the gluten free beers and stick to quality craft cider instead.

Nice light color, does not taste like a 5.8 ABV beer. I found this beer to be very different in taste and flavour. It reminded me of juniper berries. Good carbonation level. I brewed myself a batch of gluten free beer which was simular in taste but not as pungent.

2.88/5 rDev +32.1%
look: 2.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
Appearance: Translucent straw hue with a very thin white head despite a vigorous pour.
Aroma: Straight up aloe vera. A little off-putting.
Taste: The flavor follows closely with the smell; aloe vera. But, surprisingly, it's not as bad as it sounds. I've never tasted sorghum before so I'm assuming that flavor is due to the use of this substitute malt. The palate is sweet overall with just a hint of bitterness. It's an interesting flavor for someone who's used to that regular 'beer' taste. Soft finish and lingering sorghum flavor.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and decent effervescence. Pretty easy to drink but the flavor is just strange enough to make it a little difficult.
Final Thoughts: It makes me slightly uneasy drinking something that tastes how aloe vera smells. I'm not sure whether to drink it or rub it on a sun burn. Either way it's not terrible and I don't have much to judge it against since it's the first gluten free beer I've tried. Would I drink it again? On a dare.

look: 2 | smell: 2 | taste: 1.5 | feel: 2 | overall: 1.5
Appearance: It has a pale straw yellow color to it. It has a thin white head that dies down fast and leaves next to no lacing.
Smell: The aromas definitely give out hints of peppery spice, light floral hops, weird fruitiness and something funky.
Taste: Like the aromas, it has a weird fruitiness (apples and pears), light spiciness, light hops and a funky taste I can't quite figure out.
Mouthfeel: It has a medium carbonation with a light overall balance and feel.
Drinkability: It's a very smooth drinkable beer accompanied with decent flavors and aromas. First time trying a gluten free beer and most likely the last. Something just doesn't taste right.

473 mL can from the LCBO; best before Jan 24 2013. This is the first gluten-free beer I've ever bothered trying - if you can even call it a beer. Still, I've had enjoyable light lagers before - proof that anything is possible and I should just give this a chance before judging it.
Pours a translucent golden-yellow colour, topped with one finger of foamy white head that fizzles away before my very eyes, leaving behind only a thin, soapy collar. Looks like a glass of apple juice from concentrate. Unusual aroma that doesn't entirely remind me of beer - much more fruity than grainy, with hints of peach, pear, apple cider, cooked vegetables, and some slight honey sweetness. Slightly acidic aroma; not exactly unpleasant, but not really all that appealing either.
This tastes like a muddled mess; there is so much going on it's hard to pinpoint a lot of specific flavours. A strongly vegetal flavour, possibly from the sorghum (although I've never actually had sorghum so I really can't say for certain), permeates the entire profile. There is also a lot of pear/apple, some light apricot/peach notes, with the apple becoming more prominent as it warms. Finishes with a vinous, white wine-like flavour and some booziness - way too much for something under 6%. Light-bodied, watery, with weak carbonation. It feels like someone tossed adjunct beer, expired white wine and apple juice into a vat and mixed it up.
Blech. To any celiacs reading this - you have my sincere condolences, and I honestly hope not all gluten free beer tastes like this. I finished the whole glass because I'm a cheap masochist, but this was the first time I have ever seriously considered a drainpour in my ~6 years on BA. It really is utterly unenjoyable, and even finishing half of the can is a struggle. I would not judge anyone for pouring this into the sink, it's really not worth the trouble.
Final Grade: 1.73, basically an F. I am pretty easy to satisfy - I mean, I drink James Ready and Canadian fairly regularly - but Nickel Brook's Gluten Free sets the bar so low that even thoroughly mediocre beers like those compare highly favourably. Given the fact that it technically isn't beer, I can't knock it too hard for not tasting like one - but I can definitely knock it for tasting terrible in general. Probably the least appealing 'beer' I have ever reviewed - if I were a celiac and this were the only GF beer I could find, I'd just stick to gin.

473ml can. I have to sell this stuff, so best I be up on what it really has to offer, I suppose.
This beer (or 'alcoholic beverage', as per the label) pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with a half finger of thinly foamy, and mostly just fizzy dirty white head, which wisps away in no time flat, leaving zilch in the way of lace in the vicinity of the glass.
It smells of a warm drupe fruitiness, musty, somewhat toasted graininess, watery black pepper, a bit of rotting vegetables, hippie perfume, and leafy, generally weedy 'pale-ale' hops. The taste is astringent, rather metallic pseudo-grain, flat overripe pear flesh, damned-near sneeze-inducing table pepper, way past their best veggies from the bottom drawer, and seemingly out of place plucky leafy, earthy hops.
The bubbles are a bit spritzy, and swirling, which in this particular case, does me no favours, the body a clammy, clenching medium-light weight - don't even ask about any supposed smoothness. It finishes warm and abusive - overcooked pears and rye-wannabe edgy grain the lingering notes of infamy.
Gaaah. When the most notable thing I get up front, in the middle, and at the end, is a clinging, well, sense of the undead, it's just too hard to justify subtle descriptions of any woe-begotten underlying essences. This is messed up, uneven, and thankfully really not a beer - at least they warned me about that ahead of time, but I didn't listen. No way I'm finishing this can, and I cannot justify recommending this in place of Wold Top's or Brasseurs Sans Gluten's celiac-friendly offerings.

Every beer deserves a shot, but I'm not holding my hopes out on this one, especially since it might not technically be a beer. According to Ontario law, beer must contain some degree of wheat or barley, which this doesn't as it is labelled an alcoholic beverage. Regardless, I'll try to give it a fair shake.
Appearance: A finger of head quickly dissipated and did not lace at all. A clear light orange bod boasts some slow but steady carbonation, nothing too impressive here.
Smell: Pear dominates the nose with touches of peaches and dry hops. However, there's also a weird funk to it, kinda like a skunked beer but more of a decaying vegetation note then an acidic one you'd get from skunking.
Taste: I'm pretty sure there is pear juice in here as it starts with a sweet pear note. Too bad an overpowering rotten vegetable taste takes over that persists even as the hops hit with a strong bitter kick.
Mouthfeel: Well the lower carbonation I actually feel does this beers some favours, as it accentuates the sweeter elements instead of the bitter vegetables. Unfortunately that vegetable taste lingers quite a bit.
Drinkability: The aftertaste really holds it back, but the low carbonation makes it very refreshing and easy to drink. The juicer elements I think save this one from ruin.
Final Thoughts: Well, I think it's best that I stick to regular beer, but if suddenly I was only able to drink gluten-free beer, I'd say this is passable, which is pretty much everything I could expect from this. I think that vegetable taste is Sorghum, so I don't think it would be my ingredient of choice. Then again, what the heck do I know, or anyone knows for that matter about brewing with non-gluten grains. In conclusion, it sadly doesn't compare to regular beer, but it is better then some bad beers and near beers. You'll want to pass if you are a regular beer drinker, and I would probably more inclined towards mead or cider then this. I applaud the effort though.

473 ml can poured into a Duvel tulip.
A: Pours a clear gold with half a finger of weak white head that disappears quickly.
S: All I'm getting is a clean hop smell similar to hop pellets. Not overly strong but not unpleasant.
T: Tastes a bit sweet upfront (but not really malty for obvious reasons) with that nice clean hop bite in the finish.
M: Mouthfeel is fairly light with decent carbonation.
D: For a gluten free beer, very high.
This is the only GF beer I have tried and I expected it to be awful. It wasn't. It should be rated to style and truly the style is GF beer which is probably one of the most difficult ones. It's not close to the worst beer I've ever had. In fact, I'd rather drink this than say, Orval, so there! :P

I had never tried a gluten free beer before, finally decided to give this a try when Nickel Brook made theirs. They said that any beer lover would enjoy this, so I'll see. Pours a golden yellow colour without much head. Any head there was dissipates very quickly. Smell is of horrible butter and some mild pear. Some grains in there too I can't pick out, that could be sorghum? I'm having difficulty taking even a full sip of this, it just does not taste good. I know this is gluten free, so the brewer was limited in what they could do, but if I was trying to avoid gluten there are thousands of better non-beer options than this beer.

The label calls this an alcoholic beverage that any beer lover will enjoy. The beer style is not specified, simply called 'Gluten Free'.
Ingredients are water, sorghum, pear juice, demerara sugar, hops.
Poured at 4 deg. C. into a tall, narrow glass.
a - A 2 finger white head disappears within seconds, no lacing. Lots of carbonation, nice golden colour, crystal clear.
s - Light hop (lager style) aroma dissipated with the head, then left with a slight vegetable smell.
t - Beer tastes like it smells; a subtle vegetable or pizza flavour, somewhat cidery. Hard to place the flavour, unique if nothing else. Leaves a long aftertaste of the same, not overly pleasant or beer-like, but not bad either. Some hop bitterness is detected, balanced by a slight sweetness. No yeast flavours detectable.
m - Smooth with simultaneous sharpness caused by the carbonation. Body is fairly thin.
d - Not much depth or complexity here. The unfamiliar flavour must be the pear juice which I don't like, but others may. It's light and refreshing, but only a little beer-like. It's a good gluten free alternative to the mass-produced pilsners out there. I wouldn't have another, but only because I make my own gluten free beer, and don't like mass produced pilsners. If I didn't have the choice, I would probably alternate this beer with the other 2 available in the LCBO, which are just as unappealing as this creation by Nickel Brook. OK, maybe I would just give up drinking beer. This is a good but bewildering effort, and the claim on the can is not true. My evaluation is fairly low because I use real (craft) beer as my control. Cheers John & Peter.

Can: Poured a clear bright golden color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma consists of rotten hops and overcooked vegetable with some rotten grass. Taste is about as good as aroma description indicates. I am wondering if there was a change in recipee considering the newest ratings are so low.

Nickel Brooks gluten free beer.
Pours a clear amber/orange, medium sized white head forms and settles to a medium ring, champagne like carbonation, little bubbles keep rising, some lace spots stick.
Weird, a bit fruity, pear juice, slightly rancid aroma, a bit spicy, peach pits, a touch of honey sweetness, burnt malt, veggies, bandaids, a touch of floral, alcohol, odd stuff.
Taste is similar, cider like, buttery, some caramel, pear/apple juice, butterscotchy, light floral, not so good.
Mouthfeel is light bodied, thin, with medium to high carbonation. Not too bad for a gluten free beer but not the route I would have taken.

A secret video obtained by Mother Jones magazine has rocked the political world. In that video, Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney said 47 percent of Americans believe they are victims, are dependent on the government and will never vote for him. He went further, saying he wasn't worried about them. The magazine released a portion of the video Monday.
In a late night press conference Monday, Romney said the comments were not "elegantly stated," but were part of a larger conversation about the role of personal responsibility.
Romney went on to say the comments were a reflection on "the political process of winning an election, and, of course, I want to help all Americans—all Americans—have a bright and prosperous future."
Mother Jones posted the full video just after 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Do you think the video shows Romney's true feelings about half of the American electorate, or was this an out-of-context snippet? Will this hurt Romney's chances of willing the election, or is it one blip in a very long campaign? Tell us what you think in the comments below.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) – Financial stocks held their ground Friday as investors, with plenty of time to adjust their portfolios, looked past looming federal spending cuts and a raft of economic data from Europe showing weakness in some of the euro zone's largest economies.
Read: Sequester cuts near as Senate bills fail
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund /quotes/zigman/246222/delayed/quotes/nls/xlf XLF -0.52% , which tracks financial stocks in the S&P500, ended 0.5% higher Friday, trimming its loss for the week to 0.6%. Since the start of the year, it is up 7.6%.
European banks were down on the first day of the new trading month. Deutsche Bank AG /quotes/zigman/207002/delayed/quotes/nls/db DB -0.50% shares were down more than 4% at $43.82, bouncing back from earlier losses.
The German bank was downgraded to a sell rating from neutral by Goldman Sachs on Friday. The target price was dropped to 37.30 euros from 47.00 euros, largely as a result of the Federal Reserve's new capitalization rules likely being adopted by foreign banks, said the Goldman Sachs report.
Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC /quotes/zigman/530544/delayed/quotes/nls/rbs RBS -0.33% shares fell more than 3%, rebounding from earlier losses. Barclays PLC /quotes/zigman/152323/delayed/quotes/nls/bcs BCS +0.27% and Credit Suisse Group AG /quotes/zigman/172227/delayed/quotes/nls/cs CS -1.24% were down more than 1.5% in trading. The Euro-zone unemployment rate moved up to 11.9% in January from 11.8%.
American International Group, Inc. /quotes/zigman/557836/delayed/quotes/nls/aig AIG -1.11% said Friday it bought back the last of the warrants it issued to the U.S. Treasury, the final stake in the company still held by the government. The insurance giant paid $25 million for the warrants, issued in 2008 and 2009.
Reuters/fiel 2009
AIG was bailed out by the government during the financial crisis as the firm headed toward bankruptcy. The firm returned the $182 billion borrowed from the government during the financial crisis and a profit $27.7 billion, said Chief Executive Robert Benmosche.
AIG was downgraded to equal-weight from overweight by Evercore Partners, saying the firm would require good execution on expenses and underwriting to meet its targets for 2013. The boutique consulting firm continues to have a positive bias on AIG and raised the target price of the stock from $40 to $42. AIG shares were down 0.5%, paring earlier losses.
Citigroup Inc. /quotes/zigman/5065548/delayed/quotes/nls/c C -0.56% is hosting a financial services conference on Tuesday in Boston. Chief Executive Mike Corbat is scheduled to speak at the conference on the firm's progress and strategy. Corbat took over in October from ousted CEO Vikram Pandit. Citigroup shares were up nearly 0.5%.
Goldman Sachs /quotes/zigman/188479/delayed/quotes/nls/gs GS -0.23% was up 0.5%, but up 18% for the first two months of the year. Morgan Stanley /quotes/zigman/182639/delayed/quotes/nls/ms MS -0.97% shares were down 0.5%, but were up 17% year-to-date.
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. /quotes/zigman/272085/delayed/quotes/nls/jpm JPM -0.93% is the winner so far in landing the most mergers and acquisition deals in 2013. The bank is the lead underwriter for many of the major deals including H.J. Heinz Co. and Buffett, Dell Inc. sale to Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners and NBC and Comcast Corp /quotes/zigman/89307/delayed/quotes/nls/cmcsa CMCSA +0.48% . J.P. Morgan topped the list as the firm with $3.97 billion in fees earned in 2012, a 24.8% increase from the year before, according to a Bloomberg ranking, measuring fees earned. J.P. Morgan shares ended the day flat.

Is the spray patterns and face of the shower head the exact same as the 28 897? (only difference is the back- flat vs rounded). What is the difference between the 28 897 and 28 793E?
A. The first difference between the 28 897 and 28 793E is that the 28 793E is from the Water Care series, meaning it's an eco friendly, low flow option with a flow output of 1.5 gpm vs. the standard 2.0 gpm of the 28 897 and other standard shower heads. Also, the 28 793E is only available in chrome whereas the other comes in a variety of finishes. Another difference (more to do with the price diff) is that the 28 897 has five spray patterns as the other only has three spray patterns.
Does Grohe have a shower arm mount for this handshower? I have a 1/2" shower arm with a male threaded end.
What is the diameter of the head?

Weeks after New York State officials issued a report stating that the Long Island Power Authority needs to , a Newsday report states that some critics are already expressing concern over a January 2014 switch from operator National Grid to PSEG.
The article lists Sen. Charles Schumer and State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli as a couple of individuals who have broached the subject. However LIPA assured customers that those concerns are unfounded.
"Given PSEG's success of storm planning and procedures and their commitment to improved service for our customers, we will have a storm plan that gives us a robust workforce utilizing all available Long Island resources," LIPA spokesman Mark Gross said in a statement.
Are you concerned about the switch from National Grid to PSEG?

Tomio Geron, Contributor
Facebook has launched a new service that enables people to send gifts to friends through Facebook, signalling the company's larger opportunities in e-commerce.
In May, Facebook acquired Karma, a social gift giving service. The new Facebook Gifts service builds on that acquisition.
With Facebook Gifts, people can send a variety of birthday, holiday and other gifts–just to be clear these are "real life" gifts, not virtual goods. People can choose a gift such as a Starbucks gift card, a Gund teddy bear or chocolate, and select a friend to send it to, and add a card. A message can also be sent to the recipient's Facebook Timeline or as a private message. The recipient of the gift enters his or her address, so the giver doesn't have to worry about that. The recipient can also choose things size or color of a gift.
Facebook is tightly integrating the gift service through the site's existing birthday reminders that show up on the side of the Facebook News Feed. Underneath a birthday notification for a person is the link to "Give her a gift."
This is a natural move for Facebook, particularly after buying Karma. But the larger opportunity for Facebook is in e-commerce more generally. As Karma cofounder Lee Linden told me when I interviewed him at South By Southwest last year, Karma had built the back-end infrastructure for e-commerce operations. That technology is now a part of Facebook and has been scaled to the company's millions of users.
But if you can send real-life gifts to people that you purchase on Facebook,why couldn't you purchase them for yourself? For now Facebook will likely focus on e-commerce for gifts, not wanting to take on the entire e-commerce challenge and all the logistics that go along with it. But it would make sense for Facebook to expand to more general e-commerce. Perhaps it could be focused in the near term on other specific uses of e-commerce for functions that already exist in Facebook, such as Facebook Groups. For example, maybe a group wants to buy a present for the leader of a group, and split the costs? It could be done through Facebook. Or maybe Facebook could arrange other purchases that come as part of special events such as birthday parties, or holiday parties, or even weddings. Since it has an events tool that is popular that could be another fit. Or it could develop a Christmas gift list application or wedding gift-giving registry.
Overall, Facebook has so much data on its users and their interests and preferences as well as social data that there are many possibilities. Facebook has up until now focused on e-commerce and payments through virtual goods, with social games being the large part of that. But if the company wants to focus less on games and have more general uses for people in many situations, which I think it does want, then e-commerce makes natural sense. And as a plus, e-commerce is a clear source of revenue that investors understand–unlike newfangled social or mobile ads, which investors may have trouble understanding.
iGiftSocial is a much more aptly named, independent, none-corporate choice for services similar to Karma. iGiftSocial is worth considering as an alternative to Facebook-owned Karma, *rather than feeding more money with your intended generosity to a big institution.* If you like the idea of supporting a small business, you may want to give on Facebook through iGiftSocial rather than Karma: http://www.igiftsocial.com/ Like any true small start-up their current customer options are limited but growing.
I saw this earlier today and I think it is FB way of collecting more user information. If you want to give an awesome gift, how about a family tree for a loved one. I help people start their family trees going back 4 generations from the grandparents. Drop by and check my site out or drop me a message if you have a question. http://fiverr.com/tn5rr2012
It is interesting to see how Facebook has integrated Karma into its offering and time will tell how successful it becomes, but clearly it's not the end point since there are some major drawbacks.
1. It's Costly. The Karma model, which Facebook has adopted, is to offer expensive products from a limited selection…you still have to pay shipping and handling. The costs add up quickly!
2. It's Not Social. There's no option for a group to contribute to an individual gift, which means I have to pay the full amount. For close friends and family, I might spend $30 or more….but not on all my Facebook friends.
3. It's Limited. Granted I can choose a gift from their catalog….and the receiver can change it. They may be trading just to get something better, but it doesn't mean that's what they really want…just better than what you selected.
4. It's Facebook only. What if I have friends on LinkedIn, Google+, or even people who don't use Facebook (yes, there are some)?
If you want a truly inexpensive, social, and cross platform gifting solution that lets the recipient get exactly what they want, then check out www.zPerfectGift.com. You can chip in as little as $5 towards any gift….invite friends and make it a group gift. The recipient transfer the funds onto a gift card of their choice and buys exactly what they want. It's completely free too and works across Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ or with any email address. A much, much better gifting solution!

This year, K9IU will be operating from the IMU shack for the Indiana QSO Party (INQP). This event is a contest and chance to make as many contacts within Indiana as possible, though outside Indiana contacts are also desired and sought out. The event will be Saturday May 3rd, 2008 from 12:00 noon until 12:00 midnight (local time).
The bands eligible for scoring are limited to the HF spread, and in years past 40m and 20m have been the most popular. We will be entering the contest as a multi-op station. Rules state that we will be limited to one transmitting station at a time, but we can have as much "help" via spotters and hunters. If we are lucky and busy, then there may be a possibility for multiple people running the same station (one operator, one logger). It depends on the band conditions and participation.
Everyone is invited to come by at any time throughout the event. If you are an amateur radio operator, come help us participate in the contest. If you are not an amateur radio operator, come and see what it is all about.
For more information on the INQP see www.hdxcc.org/inqp.

Analysis: A Global War on Terror by Another Name Doesn't Tell Us How to Succeed
- By Elspeth Reeve
- The Wire
- May 23, 2013
- Leave a comment
President Obama rejected the Bush-era term Global War on Terrorism in a major speech justifying and announcing changes to his counterterrorism policies at the National Defense University on Thursday. "Beyond Afghanistan, we must define our effort not as a boundless 'global war on terror' — but rather as a series of persistent, targeted efforts to dismantle specific networks of violent extremists that threaten America," Obama said. Never mind that the Obama administration stopped using the term in early 2009. When justifying his use of drone strikes in countries we're not at war with in a war against "networks" with a not-yet-clear end, it helps for Obama to use the rhetoric George W. Bush as a foil. At least he's not as bad as that guy, right?
In a background briefing on Obama's speech, senior administration officials explained the policies Obama would lay out in terms of their opposition to President Bush's. They said Obama "rejects the notion of a 'Global War on Terrorism.'" It's an "amorphous thing," an official said, and besides, terrorism is just a tactic. "We are defining this more narrowly than a Global War on Terror," and Obama doesn't want "a war footing in perpetuity." As for the methods used, drone strikes are "preferable" to large-scale military action like in the Iraq war, they said. Obama implicitly drew that contrast, too. Drone strikes are the best course of action when "where a terrorist compound cannot be breached without triggering a firefight... or when putting U.S. boots on the ground may trigger a major international crisis." Yes, sometimes civilians die in drone strikes, he said. "For me, and those in my chain of command, these deaths will haunt us as long as we live, just as we are haunted by the civilian casualties that have occurred through conventional fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq."

NORMAN — City of Norman recycling plans may have a glitch if one council member's reading of ballot language is correct. The Norman City Council instructed city staff on Tuesday to move forward with preparations to enter a contract with new vendor and low bidder, Republic, for the city's curbside reycling service.
In order to keep costs down and increase service, city leaders said Norman will move to biweekly recycling pickups with polycarts to allow for curbside carboard recycling.
"I got the ballot language and it clearly says weekly curbsie recycling," said Council member Tom Kovach. "I'm afraid we'll have to revote the public if we go to biweekly."
The rub? If the city stays at weekly curbside recycling, it will still have to go to the polls — to request a rate increase.
Kovach thinks the public will support biweekly recycling pickup to include cardboard and keep the rates the same, but the 2007 ballot language indicates a vote will be needed to make that change in his opinion.
A legal opinion from the City Attorney's Office indicates a vote is not needed to go to biweekly pickup, however.
"The only reason the citizens got to vote on it at all is because they have the right by charter to vote on the rates — it's not the service, it's the rates," said Assistant City Attorney Kathryn Walker. "Biweekly in 96-gallon polycarts is not a reduction in services."
Walker cited the additional space in polycarts allowing for more recyclables and for the addition of cardboard.
"And it's what we can do within our rate structure which is what is important to our citizens," Walker said.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. --- Colby College sophomore Jake Leiby battled hard in both squash matches in losing twice at the Intercollegiate Singles Championships at the University of Pennsylvania on Friday.
Leiby was competing in the Molloy Division ('B') and earned a tough draw by meeting fourth-seeded Nils Mattsson of Navy in the first round. Leiby took a 9-5 win in the first game only to see Mattsson win three straight at 9-3, 9-4, 9-0.
The setback put Leiby in the consolation round and a meeting with Bowdoin's Matt Dresher, who won 9-6 and 9-1 in the opening two games. Leiby did not give up and took 9-6 and 9-7 wins in the next two games, but Dresher won 9-7 in the deciding fifth game.

Here's a question for you: Why do we feel compelled to capture and immortalize every moment of our children's lives?
Today's kids basically have a documentary crew following them around to capture every mundane moment.
That documentary crew? Parents.
Just about every parent I know witnesses their child's life through a viewfinder. If I go to kid's soccer game or children's ballet recital, I see 200 parents staring at LCD screens instead of the fruit of their loins half-heartedly performing until the moment they can go for ice cream.
I understand the important moments. But every moment?
This over-documentation has created a unique problem. Too much of a mediocre thing.
Our hard drives are stuffed and our video shelves are littered with unmarked videos that no one has the time (or energy) to sit through.
Do you think when we're gone our kids will watch all that mess? Come on! They'll be too busy filming their own kids.
Most of this footage is unusable, too. It's jerkier than your brother-in-law after five beers and oftentimes the camera trails off towards the ground as mom gets lazy-hand while gabbing with other moms about how over-scheduled everyone is.
Preserving the moment rather than living in it is a burden than no one enjoys, so I say: Mom and dad, put down that camera and just enjoy watching the action.
Then fire up that camera for the really important stuff, like dad getting racked during a T-ball lesson.
Now that's worth preserving.

Season 3 winner: Fantasia Barrino
It hasn't been easy for Barrino since her "Idol" win back in 2004. Financial woes, health issues and a reported suicide attempt have tainted her success. She was on the verge of a comeback with her own VH1 reality show "Fantasia for Real" and the album "Back to Me." But a scandal involving an affair and a sex tape caused Barrino's career to derail. Despite the drama, she appeared on Season 10 of "Idol" and won a Best Female R&B Vocal Performance Grammy for her new song, "Bittersweet." Recently, she had a child (Dallas Xavier) with a man (Antaun Cook) who is still married, and she is slated to perform at the 2012 Essence Festival.

So many artists underpricing...It makes me really sad.When an artist you want to commission finally open their commissions back and all of their slots are taken in less than a minute.And I'm sure all the slots would still be taken if the price was increased of x2-x10.So many artists are still underpricing themselves. People make it a standard for art to sell for so cheap and whenever someone charge more than this standard, which is probably still underpriced, people complain.By underpricing yourself, you are also contributing to keep the price standard of art low on this site. Charging low can be insulting to other artists, but also to yourself.Please, don't ever feel like you need to underprice yourself, because of the fear of what other might think or say. You art is worth more than that. There will always be someone complaining, you cannot please everyone. Your time, the efforts, the skills you gained over years of hard work, is worth far way more than a few cents/points.If you ever open your commissions an

New Stuff!Hey guys!For the last 6 months or so I've become more interested in digital art. I got a Wacom tablet before Christmas and since then I've been casually practising digital drawing/painting in Photoshop. Rather than upload any such images to this account, I decided to create a new one. It didn't seem right to start mixing terribly drawn portraits of celebrities/movie characters with astrophotography. My new account is imaginatively called Chrissyo2. If interested, you can find it here: http://chrissyo2.deviantart.com/I'm not abandoning this account, and despite my lack of images I'm still very much interested in astrophotography. My telescope just isn't at its best at the moment. However, I have quite a few images to upload to this account later tonight - earlier this year I went on a trip around some of Australia's major observatories. Images from that trip will be up soon.I've also

The following is based on a press release from the state Department of Transportation.
Residents must submit personal statements to the state Department of Transportation (DOT) on how a toll on the Sakonnet River Bridge would impact their lives by Jan. 18.
All comments will be included the DOT's environmental impact survey to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Ultimately, the FHWA will rule on whether a toll can be installed on the Sakonnet River Bridge, based upon the findings of the environmental and economic impact statements.
According to DOT Director Michael P. Lewis, the reports will be filed with the FHWA by the end of the month.
In December, the DOT held hearings in Portsmouth and Tiverton to hear residents concerns on the impact of a toll on their neighborhoods and local economy. Public input on the possible impacts of a toll is an integral element in the impact surveys.
To include your personal comments, submit a statement prior to the close of business on Jan. 18.
Submit concerns via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Submit statements via mail at:
Rhode Island Department of Transportation

If you would like to learn more about Rhode Island's approach to tolling and the expected timeline for the process, please visit the DOT website.

St. Louis shortstop Edgar Renteria will lead off for the National League team followed in the lineup by Cardinals center fielder Jim Edmonds and left fielder Albert Pujols. Barry Bonds will bat fourth at designated hitter followed by Atlanta's Gary Sheffield in right, Colorado's Todd Helton at first, St. Louis' Scott Rolen at third, Atlanta's Javy Lopez at catcher and Montreal's Jose Vidro at second.
Schmidt was a sentimental choice. The right-hander helped Baker and the Giants reach the World Series last year. And Schmidt lost his mother earlier this year to cancer.
"This is one of the highlights of my career," said Schmidt, who is 9-4 with a 2.37 ERA.
"Without Jason Schmidt, I wouldn't be sitting here right now as the National League manager," Baker said.
Baker's other tough choice was to decide on the designated hitter for the game, played under American League rules at U.S Cellular Field. Baker selected Bonds, who was voted in as a starting outfielder.
"Out of respect to Barry I wanted to give him first choice," Baker said.
The decision had to be approved both by Major League Baseball -- there was a question as to whether a starting position player could be the DH -- and by Bonds. Baker wanted a bona fide center fielder rather than force starters Bonds, Pujols or Sheffield to play out of position. Edmonds was named as a reserve and will start in center.

NARA debuts "The Sailor and the Seagull" at Beijing film festival
This week, NARA will be premiering a film halfway across the globe in Beijing, China, for the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF). Our film preservation lab will be represented by Supervisory Motion Picture Preservation Specialist Criss Kovac.
"We rejoined FIAF last spring, and it's required for us to send a member to the conference each spring," Kovac said. NARA and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) are the only American members in the approximately 200-delegate conference. NARA and UCLA are tied for the largest film archives.
For the first time, NARA will be contributing a film for screening at the week-long conference. The theme this year is animation.
"We've digitally restored a title called The Sailor and the Seagull, a Navy recruitment film from 1949," Kovac said. "We chose the film because it was done, at the time, by an emerging film studio called the United Productions of America." The United Productions of America (UPA) was an animation studio that produced industrial films, World War II training films, and theatrical shorts for Columbia Pictures, including the Mr. Magoo series.
The film preservation team began digitizing The Sailor and the Seagull in January 2012, a project mainly helmed by Motion Picture Preservation Specialist Bryce Lowe. To give an idea of how long restoration takes, Lowe spent more than 80 hours restoring and cleaning up the 12-minute film.
"Film takes, on average, four times longer to restore in the … [ Read all ]

Caltrain service experienced delays Monday night after a train struck and killed a pedestrian in Menlo Park, a Caltrain spokeswoman said.
A woman was fatally struck by a southbound train at Encinal Avenue at around 7:30 p.m., spokeswoman Christine Dunn said.
The train, No. 804, was stopped at Oak Grove Avenue and its 238 passengers were transferred to another southbound train, which ran 45 minutes late, Dunn said.
The identity of the woman remained unknown, and an investigation has been launched by Transit Police. Preliminary information suggests the death may have been a suicide, according to Dunn.
Train tracks were closed in the area as emergency crews responded and northbound train No. 447 was held at Palo Alto station until the tracks re-opened after 9 p.m.
No injuries were reported among the passengers or Caltrain crew.
This is the first fatality of the year on the Caltrain tracks, Dunn said. Last year there were 16 fatalities.
Caltrain is running on a Saturday schedule today because of the holiday.

GDV is often diagnosed based on a patient's history, signalment, and physical examination results. Radiographic evaluation
is required to confirm the diagnosis.
Physical examination results
On physical examination, it is classic to find a large distended abdomen. On percussion, a tympanic sound is produced. Abdominal
palpation may be uncomfortable.
Patients with GDV progress through different degrees of shock that need to be recognized during the patient evaluation. First,
animals early in the syndrome present with clinical signs similar to those of hypovolemic shock because most of their blood
volume is restricted in the caudal vena cava and the portal vein. Thus, animals will exhibit:
Tachycardia and tachypnea with normal femoral pulses
Slow capillary refill times
Pale mucous membranes
Cold extremities.
With progression of the syndrome, patients will go into endotoxemic shock and will experience:
Tachycardia and tachypnea with weak femoral pulses
Injected mucous membranes
Slow capillary refill times.
Finally, patients will decompensate and exhibit:
Severe hypotension
White mucous membranes
Cold extremities.
Laboratory findings
Early on in the disease progression, complete blood count results often reveal a stress leukogram with neutrophilic leukocytosis
and lymphopenia. Serum chemistry profile results may show evidence of hepatocellular damage and cholestasis with increased
alanine transaminase activity and total bilirubin concentration and azotemia. Hypokalemia may also be present.
Lactate is produced as a by-product of anaerobic metabolism and has been shown to be elevated in animals with GDV.17,18 In one study, a lactate concentration < 6.4 mmol/L at presentation, a decrease of lactate of 4 mmol/L or more after fluid
treatment and decompression, or a decrease in lactate of > 42.5% of the original value after fluid treatment and decompression
was associated closely with survival.18
Radiography can help to differentiate between gastric dilatation and GDV. If radiography is necessary to determine the diagnosis,
do not perform it until the patient is stable.
If gastric dilatation is present without volvulus, radiographs show a dilated stomach with dilated loops of jejunum.

A meeting scheduled today to discuss the future of Peninsula High and whether the Crestmoor High Athletic Fields could be sold has been postponed, the San Mateo Union High School District said.
According to the high school district's website, the study session will take place at the beginning of next year instead of today. Superintendent Scott Laurence is out ill, the school board manager said when reached by Patch. Laurence's involvement in the meeting is necessary, so the board didn't want to proceed unless he was there, the board manager said.
The possible relocation of Peninsula High has set off a contentious debate.
Since San Mateo County voters in 2010 passed Measure O—the $186 million bond measure that will pay off district debt, fund classroom projects and finance a new continuation school to replace the high school district's continuation school—Laurence has suggested that finding another location for Peninsula High would be more cost-effective for the district because more than half of the students live in San Mateo.
Concerns have since been raised about relocating the school to either San Mateo High's or Hillsdale High's campuses.
However, residents who use the athletic fields that are attached to the campus have their own concerns.
The San Bruno AYSO league, which comprises 1,500 youth, has been using the fields for years for their soccer games. Those families are very concerned that the high school district is considering selling the property, which would create problems for the soccer league.
If the district sold the property, they say, it would be a broken promise.
"They promised when the Measure M bond measure was approved that they would use a portion of the funds to make improvements to the Crestmoor site," a flier about the study session stated. "These improvements did not happen. The City of San Bruno maintains the fields on the site for the many sports teams who use them."
Voters passed Measure M in 2006 allowing the high school district to issue $298 million in bonds to improve infrastructure throughout the district's schools.

Kinder Morgan Inc. /quotes/zigman/3811989/delayed/quotes/nls/kmi KMI -1.86% agreed to sell certain Kinder Morgan Energy Partners L.P. /quotes/zigman/174054/delayed/quotes/nls/kmp KMP -1.38% assets in order to receive U.S. Federal Trade Commission approval of its proposed El Paso Corp. acquisition.
Kinder Morgan agreed to buy El Paso in a cash and stock deal valued at $21.1 billion when announced in October. Last week, El Paso shareholders overwhelmingly approved the sale, which would create North America's largest natural-gas pipeline operator.
Kinder Morgan Energy transports natural gas and coal.
Under the tentative FTC agreement, Kinder Morgan will sell Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas Transmission; Trailblazer Pipeline Co.; its Casper-Douglas natural gas processing and West Frenchie Draw treating facilities in Wyoming; and the company's 50% interest in the Rockies Express Pipeline.
"We would prefer to retain all of these assets, but as we anticipated when the transaction was announced, we must sell certain assets in the Rockies to obtain FTC approval," Chairman and Chief Executive Richard D. Kinder said.
Kinder Morgan expects to offer drop-down El Paso assets to Kinder Morgan Energy to replace the assets that latter will divest.
El Paso also expects to offer drop-down assets to El Paso Partners L.P. /quotes/zigman/481297/delayed/quotes/nls/epb EPB -1.31% , a natural-gas pipeline and storage facility operator.
Kinder Morgan now expects to close the El Paso acquisition in mid to late May.

Need to Meet? Try a Conference Instead.
November 24, 2009 @ 03:51 PM | By Cambria Vaccaro
Our own Kathleen Finato, senior vice president of marketing and business development, is today's featured guest blogger on BusinessWeek's Small Business tips blog. In the article, you'll learn three common myths about replacing face-to-face meetings with conferencing.
"Myth 1: You always need to be in front of your customer in order to take care of business.
In a recent study by Wainhouse and InterCall, 56% of respondents felt that if more in-person meetings were replaced by conference calls, both parties would be able to get more done. Conferencing allows you to stay in your comfort zone and conduct meetings with anyone, anywhere. Being there can simply mean dialing a couple of numbers and making a few clicks."
Have you found success and savings by replacing face-to-face meetings with conferencing? Let us know about it. We'd love to hear from you!
