Heroes & Generals Overview
Heroes & Generals is a unique blend of MMOFPS and MMORTS games. The game world is persistent, which is generally not done for an FPS game. Players may specialize their character to become a war hero on the front lines, or pursue the path of strategy as a general. The action content allows players to ride in vehicles and planes, in addition to being on foot. Both game modes are interconnected; what happens in the action mode carries over into the strategy mode, allowing players to keep tabs on things like supply-lines and production.

I've installed Leopard 10.5.6 and I'm able to boot after using a guide at InsanleyMac. I am using a mini-itx system, an Intel Desktop Board D525MW with Intel Atom D525 Atom (1.80GHz) and Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics.
Immediately on boot it crashes:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00434A1F): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".\n"@/SourceCache/
I tried a DSDT based on someone who claimed to have the same board, and it failed. I tried changing some KEXTs, and the kernel panic shutdown message kicked in. Prior to this, it just hung on the grey apple and did nothing.
Please note, I need a solution that can either be installed onto the hard drive from another computer, or added by booting USB Linux and tweaking the system. I am not multibooting and I have no CD drive to boot the installer anymore.
I am desperate for help. There is so little interest in supporting Leopard, I've tried two hackintosh forums so far and nobody is able to help beyond the diagnoses.
I am not interested in using an illegal hacked edition, or a later version of OSX.

Reviews of New York premiere at Ars Nova:
"Mr. Nachtrieb has a gift for darkly funny dialogue and an appealing way of approaching big themes sideways. ...Boom winds up speaking, quietly and piquantly, to our enduring fascination with and need for myths about the beginning of life as well as its end." -- Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"I would definitely recommend grabbing your ticket to Boom" -- Matt Johnston, Nytheatre.com
"A fantastically wild ride! Nachtrieb has crafted an imaginative piece of social satire...a clever play that's both experimental and entertaining." -- Backstage.com
"Sex! Planet-ruining cataclysms! Loads of booze! We're ready for whatever strange places Boom wants to take us!" -- Variety

As the Arab world is gaining more and more power in business, and as the growth in this area - even with all the setbacks- is on an upwards spree, customer service tends to take a hit.
One of my colleagues was talking yesterday about how the airlines that once were world leaders in service are becoming awful. I have also witnessed a very bad service in 4 and 5 stars hotels around the region, and pretty sure that you've experienced a disappointing encounter in your service lately.
As a consumer, how do you deal with lousy customer service? Simple; you complain the first time, and change to another product/service the second time you receive a bad service, and if the service provider is lucky, you will file a complaint and make yourself heard.
So how do I keep an outstanding customer service level?
1- Listen to your customers: And that means actively listening to their needs and demands and being proactive in offering a tailor made service for each and every customer. When I wrote above " if the service provider is lucky, you will file a complaint...." Feedback is the heart of any customer service, so continuously ask for it, use it and make the changes shown to your customers.
2- Walk the extra mile: Consumers will feel really rewarded if you do something extra for them and show them that you care. The Toyota sales manual says: "In case of rain, protect your customers with your umbrella and walk them to their cars"
3- Be consistent: What is worse than bad service is a service that fluctuates. When consumers know that the service is bad they don't expect a miracle, however when they know their service is good, it has to be always good; one setback and you ruin all the good work you have previously done.
4- Do it their way: People like their service to be provided in their own special way but how do you cater to a dozen types of clients? Follow points 1 and 3 in this blog: Listen and be consistent.
5- Turn negative experiences around: It is not if you make a mistake or not, it is how you will solve the mistake. In our last Social Media Public workshop in Radisson Blu Martinez in Beirut, we made a small complaint about something minor in the service. Within the next hour, the management has sent an email with an apology, a discount on our bill, and a promise that the issue will be taken care of and will not happen again. With that move, they have renewed our loyalty.
Customer service is a relationship, and like all relationships it has some setbacks. Use those setbacks to reinforce loyalty and remember that if you mess with the level of service, your customers will stop coming no matter how powerful you are.

Top 5 Member Spotlight
Stacy McFarland
BroadHead Real Estate Solutions, LLC
Years in Real Estate: 4
Areas Served: Austin, Dripping Springs, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Buda, Kyle
What is your sustainable competitive advantage?
BroadHead's competitive advantage is that we have a team that is well diversified in traditional real estate and REO sales as well as staying up-to-date with the everyday evolving technology. This diversity and the many different strengths that each team member brings to the table enables BroadHead to better serve our clients, other Realtors, and BroadHead as a whole.
What is the biggest challenge to using social media?
The biggest challenge in using social media is staying on top of each social media facet and keeping pertinent information up-to-date that is actually beneficial to your clients.
What is the key to a successful life in real estate?
The key to a successful life in real estate is adapting to change. Markets and technology change on a regular basis and if you are not adaptable, you will be left in the dust.
Jo Ann Roberts
Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate
Years in Real Estate: 18
Areas Served: Pinecrest, Gables by the Sea, Coral Gables, Palmetto Bay, Fla.
What's your biggest obstacle to staying ahead on information?
Time. Agents have to be very disciplined to spend their time wisely. As I go through the day, when I have "wait time," I use my iPad to read real estate articles I have bookmarked. I constantly stay aware of my local real estate market and keep my community aware of market trends through a monthly newsletter.
Do you use social media to stay current?
Yes. I recognize social media as an important tool to build rapport and recognition in the community. But I also know it can take an immense amount of time. I think agents have to be very, very disciplined in their social media time management.
What is the key to a successful life in real estate?
Balance. Taking care of your health, family and career. Taking care of health is number one so you can enjoy number two and be successful in number three. The other way I know how well I'm doing is from the continual client referrals to their friends and relatives.
Maryann Hilvers Augustine
Frontline Realty Group
Years in Real Estate: 19+years
Areas Served: San Diego County - San Diego, East County, South Bay, San Diego Coastal and Inland areas
What is your unique selling advantage?
World-Class Service. My goal is to have a relationship with everyone I have ever done business with 5, 10, 15 years down the road. Which means I have to provide such an extraordinary level of service with attention to detail and problem solving that my clients always come back and feel compelled to refer others.
What is your sustainable competitive advantage?
My knowledge of real estate applied to how much I care about every single client I deal with and the fact that "I never give up." That 11th hour is the difference between who gets it done and who walks away wishing it could have gone differently.
What is the key to a successful life in real estate?
Having a "Passion" for it. I love what I do and I love my clients. The market is always moving and changing. I feel like you have to move with it and be open to learning new things. However, when it all comes down to the bottom line - it is a people and problem-solving business. You have to be good at both.
Priscilla Toomey
Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty
Years in Real Estate: 25
Areas Served: Southern Westchester County, NY
Why did you become a Member of Top 5?
For the information and the networking. I learn so much from working with Top 5. The articles all go up on my website, which has helped my search engine optimization tremendously.
Why is providing relevant content and information critical to succeeding in today's market?
Everybody starts their home search on the Internet today. They may also hear a lot in the media about real estate. One of the reasons it is so important to provide relevant content is because real estate is local, but what they may be seeing or hearing is not local. I provide important context.
Why is it essential to build this type of ongoing relationship with clients?
Real estate sales are often looked at as transactional. My background, however, is in relocation, where the relationship goes on for 20 or 30 years. So I look at clients as clients for life and I want to be there as a resource for whatever they need, whenever they need it.
Cindy Marsh-Tichy
Weichert Realtors
Years in Real Estate: 13
Areas Served: Parsippany: Montville, Boonton, East Hanover, Denville, Rockaway, Hanovers
What is the key to a successful life in real estate?
You really have to love this business. It is so diverse and changes each day so it is always a challenge. Surround yourself with people that love the business like you do and have the same work habits and philosophy. Everyone plays an important role in making sure the client is satisfied and returns time and time again. Education is also key. I have always prided myself on staying educated on current topics and issues. I hold several designations and make sure to take classes that bring me up to date on market trends, legal issues, mortgage options and more. There are a lot of topics that until confronted by them, most are unaware they exist. I try to be able to be the source to find the answers.
How have you incorporated video into your marketing?
I use videos in three different ways. First, as a walkthrough of the property when it is listed with my own dialogue as if I was showing it to a prospective client. Second, I do a segment called Driving with Cindy, and yes, it is videotaped while I am driving and it is a brief overview of a topic, like staging. Lastly, I have a video that tells my clients why they want to work with me. Video is very powerful, especially when marketing overseas or across the country to relocation clients.

What do you do to stand out from the crowd?
I have narrowed my focus to just rural properties: land, farms, & homes on acreage. I don't handle commercial or traditional residential. This focus and experience has helped establish me as the "Land Agent" for my area.
What is your unfair competitive advantage?
First Weber provides outstanding technology tools that give us a head start and they are continually improving and upgrading as well as providing training on how to use them.
What is the key to a successful life in real estate?
Being adaptable is absolutely essential. Real Estate technology, marketing, communication and the role of the agent has changed dramatically in the 8 years I've been in the business, and woe to any agent that doesn't keep up with the changes.
Valerie Keener

What is your unique selling advantage?
"Being an avid reader, and technical almost to the point of being a "geek", I accumulate amazing amounts of market knowledge and never stop garnering more! Market knowledge is much more than preparing comparable sales information and reports, it's being aware of commercial development as well as residential, changes in appraisal regulations, lender regulations, inspection codes and school information, and how all of the above factor into residential real estate. The more I know and learn, the more I can help my clients to make the best real estate decisions."
What is the biggest challenge to using social media?
"Social media is time consuming, though there are some great tricks and tools to keep the time commitment it to a minimum. I think the larger challenge is the plethora of social media venues and how to find what works for you and tailor it to your business and personal life. You can be on any of the primary sites, Facebook, Twitter or YouTube, and without knowledge of how to use those sites for business, it's easy to believe they don't offer anything. It's easy to want to focus so much on growing business or obtaining business from these sites that you overlook the enjoyment factor! Sometimes, it's just fun to be on Facebook and keep up with people and "like" their posts!"

What's your biggest obstacle to staying ahead on information?
I believe that the biggest obstacle is lack of education. We all need coaches and need others to hold us accountable throughout our career. We need to stay focused at all times.
What is the key to a successful life in real estate?
It is to really care about your client and your fellow Realtors®. You need to learn to give back and work with your community. Learn to be the expert of your area but then give to others and all will respect you. Have passion for your profession and feel great when you client gets their results.

The story of Marija, a poor post-Soviet pensioner struggling to adapt to the accelerated culture of the 90s. A deft blend of documentary and fiction - Marija is played by a real pensioner, Lidija Kovtun, and her life formed the basis of the script - this film gradually draws the viewer in to the difficulties of Marija's life without becoming a soap opera. Beautiful B&W wide-screen photography and sequences shot on digital video contrast effectively as an elegant metaphor for the clash of eras depicted in the film.

Deep sea teeming with species that have never known sunlight
"In the bathy- and mesopelagic zones - the largest 3D deep-sea living space - animals either have to cope somehow with food scarcity or migrate long distances up to find food," says MAR-ECO project leader Odd Aksel Bergstad of University of Bergen. "Because it provides an oasis of topographical relief in the center of the ocean, we found a high concentration of animals on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge."
"Distribution is pretty straightforward for animals in the deep sea," says Dr. Carney. "The composition of faunal populations changes with depth, likely a consequence of physiology, ecology and the suitability of seafloor habitat condition for certain animals."
"Diversity is harder to understand. Although the mud on the deep sea floor appears monotonous and poor in food, that monotonous mud has a maximum of species diversity on the lower continental margin. To survive in the deep, animals must find and exploit meager or novel resources, and their great diversity in the deep reflects how many ways there are to adapt."

IT infrastructures are becoming increasingly larger and more complex with more applications, more servers (both physical and virtual), larger global networks, and more data to maintain. Adding staff to counteract the growth becomes expensive, and adds to the already existing problem of knowledge retention. Utilising automation helps address these issues, increasing organisational efficiency and knowledge retention. Furthermore, automation technology can help address alerts and incidents, as well as increase infrastructure up time while reducing operational costs.
Leveraging this technology can help manage your IT infrastructure as it grows in complexity and size, without increasing your staff. Learn the tips to get started in this white paper, including:

What is Vomiting?
Vomiting is characterized by the contents of the stomach being ejected. This may happen to our pets from time to time – as a result of common factors or as a result of more serious health problems. Cats tend to vomit far more than dogs.
Symptoms of vomiting in cats and dogs include:
- Heaving
- Retching
- Partially digested food coming up, along with a yellow fluid (bile)
- Blood in the vomit (consult your vet as this can signal an ulcer or cancer)
When should I be worried about my pet vomiting?
You should consult your veterinarian if:
- You suspect your pet has been exposed to toxins, garbage, a bone, plants, antifreeze, or drugs.
- There is blood in the vomit (fresh blood or granules that look like coffee)
- Your pet experiences diarrhea with vomiting
- Your pet vomits each time they eat
- There is repeated vomiting and retching within a short time (3-4 times in a row).
- Your dog looks weak, depressed or lethargic.
- There is refusal to eat at the next meal after a vomiting episode
- You have a cat that is vomiting consecutively – as dehydration is a serious side effect
- Your pet has a fever, stomachache, jaundice, anemia, or masses in the stomach.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Lewis Hyde's ambitious and captivating book brings to life the playful and disruptive side of the human imagination as it is embodied in the trickster mythology.
"...Hyde seems not to have studied the scholarship of art as thoroughly as he has read his way through the trickster stories....Hyde never makes it clear how he has selected his culture heroes, and in any case, apart from the first two or three, his efforts to identify them as tricksters are unconvincing."
Paul Mattick, New York Times Book Review, 02/15/1998Review:

Rated 5 out of 5 by winterbearEfan larger than expected The picture really didn't do this justice. It's a very nice sized tray with plenty of room for a variety of snacks. The toothpick holder is really cute and a good addition to the tray. January 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CoachFran57 Beautiful, unusual and clever design! This is the prettiest Christmas trays I've ever had! The little sleigh toothpick holder makes the tray come alive with the excitement of winter, sleigh rides, and Christmas-times of long ago. Great design idea! January 25, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by sesgram Poor Quality I purchased this product along with a couple of other pieces to add to my collection, as I try to add new things each year. The workmanship on this piece was extremely poor, not the same as with the older dinnerware that I have. I will be returning this along with the other items I ordered this season. January 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PCKaren Practical and Charming This serving tray brought a smile to everyone's face, so much so that I leave it out as part of a Winterberry display on my buffet server now. A fitted notch on the plate keeps the sled in place for walking around service. The tray is just deep enough to "hook" cocktail shrimp around the edges, with plenty of room on the surface for crab claws. Also ideal for those one bite appetizers like mini quiche. And, it comes out of the dishwasher looking like new! It's a fun piece, but classy enough to work well with the whole Winterberry collection. January 4, 2014

OUr experience here was great! We found the perfect dress and the service was superb. Julia did the alteration and the fit was perfect. We are so thankful for you all making prom shopping so easy and enjoyable.
My experience here was great. Everyone was very nice and helpful.
My experience here was peaceful and Stress-free. I am glad I chose Bridal & Tuxedo Galleria to purchase my dress and will recommend this place. Thanks again for everything and making my experience a wonderful one!!
Happy with the price and overall outcome. The seamstress is awesome!
This was my one and only stop when looking for a bridal gown. The reason I went here was because I knew they would have a good selection of affordable bridal gowns. The bridal salon could use a bit of a makeover, but I came for the dress prices, not the ambiance. I found a perfect dress for $900 and also had my alterations done here and had my dress pressed here. The seamstress is excellent and did a fantastic job. I only needed a hem, a bustle, and the neckline fixed (the boning in the dress kind of made the lining stick out). I was very satisfied with her work.
I <3 Tim! I <3 Julia too! Every experience with Julia has been an absolute pleasure. She is an amazing asset to the team at Bridal & Tux!
My experience has been wonderful! From purchasing my dress to the alterations with Julia, the staff was super helpful and extremely pleasant! Julia made my dress beautiful and Amy is very helpful with everything! Thank you for making my Bridal gown purchase so special.
I was so happy to do business with them. They helped me a lot. I purchase my dress on a sale and paid it on lay away. Julia and the girls were so helpful. Because the service was excellent I told my fiancee to get his tuxedo here. We are happy with all the services they provide to my family. I definitely recommend to public and my community.
Everyone was very polite and professional. My wedding gown turned out just as I imagined it.
This place was perfect. I truly enjoyed every time I came in! The girls are fantastic and would help me with anything that needed to be done. Thanks again!

As the graph above illustrates, the greater the
habitat diversity your property provides, the more types of
wildlife will choose to be your neighbors. For the small property
owner in Florida, increasing habitat diversity usually means
replacing expansive, closely mowed lawns with creative landscaping.
Even within a quarter-acre lot, habitats that provide variety in
both form and height-lawns, meadows, hedges and shade trees-will
attract a larger number and variety of birds than a quarter-acre
lot with uniform plantings.
More than 1,200 kinds or species of animals live in Florida. In
terms of wildlife, we are the third most diverse state in the
nation! Of all this bewildering variety, which species can you
expect to attract to your own backyard? It all depends on how well
the habitat on your property duplicates the natural conditions
under which the animals live in the wild.
Some animals, such as raccoons, opossums and
mockingbirds, adapt well and live throughout Florida, but others
are much more regional in occurrence. White- crowned pigeons and
many other semitropical species are restricted to the Florida Keys,
for example, and it's unlikely that you will ever find a
yellow-breasted chat nesting south of Tallahassee. For more
detailed information on the most common species of Florida
wildlife, browse our sections on birds, mammals and reptiles and amphibians.
All wild creatures have unique requirements for
food, water, cover and space, and they can only live where these
needs can be satisfied. Together, these required elements make up
an animal's habitat. The key to luring wildlife to your property is
to provide the four basic components of their habitat: food,
especially in its natural form; water to drink and bathe in; cover
or shelter to escape from predators, rest and build nests; and
space or territory in which to live and raise young. Birds and
other animals usually live in the particular habitats or plant
communities (pine flatwoods, tropical hardwood hammocks, etc.) that
best meet their habitat needs. Most require, or will use, a
diversity of habitat types at different times in their daily or
seasonal cycles. You will attract the widest variety of wildlife to
your land by using native plants to simulate small areas of nearby
habitat types. The "edges" where these habitat types meet will
probably be the most visited areas in your neighborhood.
A. FOOD: All animals get their
energy for survival from plants or other animals. The ideal
wildlife management plan uses natural vegetation to supply
year-round food - from the earliest summer berries to fruits that
persist through winter and spring (such as sweetgum, juniper and
FWC Facts:Whooping cranes eat aquatic invertebrates (insects, crustaceans and mollusks), small vertebrates (fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals), roots, acorns and berries.

The Question of Routine Swaddling By Gussie Fauntleroy Nov 09, 2011 Please see the Special Report: Swaddling Reconsidered for more information and resources on routine swaddling.

Gombak halt Tampines' title charge
Tampines Rovers' charge to a second straight Great Eastern-YEO's S.League title took a slight blow on Saturday as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Gombak United.
By Gabriel Tan at the Jurong West Stadium
Sead Hadzibulic opened the scoring for the Stags in the 21st minute when he headed home from close range, but Hafiz Rahim's opportunistic strike 13 minutes from time ensured both sides were left to settle for a share of the spoils.
The result also meant Tampines failed to take full advantage of second-placed Albirex Niigata's slip-up on Thursday, after the White Swans fell to a 3-2 loss to Hougang United, although they still hold a healthy nine-point lead at the top of the table.
Heading into Saturday's game fresh off the back of a 3-0 win over Courts Young Lions three days earlier, which had been their tenth game in the league without defeat, the Stags started the brighter of the two teams and could have taken the lead as early as the third minute.
French defender Benoit Croissant, who was returning to the starting XI after missing the last game through suspension, made his way forward for a set-piece and was picked out unmarked at the far post by a looping cross from Gligor Gligorov, only to send his header wide from six yards out.
Eight minutes later, Tampines captain Aleksandar Duric, who had grabbed a brace in the win over Young Lions, was presented with a good opening after exchanging a neat one-two with Hadzibulic but fired straight into the sidenetting.
However, the visitors only had to wait till the 21st minute to open the scoring after being awarded a freekick just inside the Gombak half. Ahmad Latiff duly floated a pinpoint ball into the box straight onto the head of Hadzibulic, who towered over his marker before expertly placing his header over a hapless Zaiful Nizam and into the top corner.
Despite going behind, the hosts were showing plenty of initiative but were just unable to find the final delivery in their attacking third and instead, it was the Stags who looked the more likely to score again, with Duric coming close a minute before the break with a snapshot that was confidently claimed by Zaiful.
Nonetheless, the hosts came out for the second half looking very adventurous and almost had a shooting opportunity in the 52nd minute when Iqbal Hussain burst into the area after exchanging passess with Hafiz Rahim. Unfortunately for Gombak, the youngster decided to take an extra touch instead of getting his shot away, allowing Sasa Dreven to race out and smother at his feet.
Four minutes later, Hafiz found space on the edge of the box and decided to lash a powerful effort towards goal, only to see his effort blocked by Croissant.
But despite the Bulls now in the ascendancy, Tampines were always going to be a threat to grab a second given the quality in their squad. Seven minutes after the hour mark, they nearly did just that when substitute Jamil Ali threaded a clever ball through to Duric, who held off his marker well before screwing a left-footed shot just wide of the far post.
Still, there was to be no denying Gombak, who finally found an equaliser ten minutes later when Mustaqim Manzur found space down the left before cutting the ball back to Nurullah Hussein. Without taking a touch, the teenage left-back drilled in a cross straight into the box, where Hafiz proceeded to stretch out a leg and got just enough to turn the ball into the back of the net, past a wrong-footed Dreven.
A minute later, the ex-Geylang United star could have grabbed a second when he picked up possession down the right and charged into the box, but with a couple of team-mates waiting in the box, Hafiz decided to go for goal and scuffed his attempt straight into the Stags goalkeeper's arms.
While a point against the defending champions would have been seen as an excellent result by many, the Bulls refused to settle for a draw and began to show even more initiative in the closing stages of the game.
Five minutes from time, centre-back Walid Lounis tore down the left and whipped in a good cross to Iqbal Hussain, who could only send a spectacular scissors-kick wide.
Ultimately, neither side could find a winner and as the final whistle blew, Tampines were left to reflect on a missed opportunity to edge further ahead at the top of the table, although they will have a second chance to all but seal the title next Wednesday when they welcome Albirex to the Clementi Stadium.
Gombak United: Zaiful Nizam, Zulfadhli Emran, Obadin Aikhena, Walid Lounis, Nurullah Hussein, Samuel Benjamin (Jung Hee-bong 46'), Christopher Anderson, Julian Aguirre (Amin Rossady 46'), Mustaqim Manzur, Hafiz Rahim (Ahmad Suhaimi 88'), Iqbal Hussain.

Poured on-tap and served in a pint glass, the beer is a bright, pale, gold color. Crystal clear with lots of carbonation and a thin, filmy head. Nose of lemon zest, hops, and floral highlights. The flavor is slightly sour, with a smokey undertone and spiced-citrus flavors, including some coriander. The aftertaste is all spice, leaving any of the fruit character overpowered. The finish is dry and quick.

Review from notes. Had on tap at the DFH brewpub in Rehoboth Beach along with ShanePB.
A: Served in a 16oz glass, Zeno was a clear orange with very little bits of bubbles on top, not quite a head though. No lacing either.
S: Floral with some grassy hops, and a bit of orange peel. Not as much spice as I used to in a saison, just a hint of pepper.
T: Similar to the aroma, but a bit more subdued. Some grassy hops and sort of fruity with some graham cracker malt. The spices only come through right at the end again.
M: Medium bodied with high carbonation, but a bit watered down almost. Finishes dry.
O: A bit disappointing. Was hoping for more flavors from a brewery that makes flavorful beer. Maybe it was just this batch, as both ShanePB and I felt that this was a letdown.

Served on-tap at the Dogfish Head Rehoboth beach pub. 16 ounce poured into a pint glass, and served well after it was poured.
A: Orange copper body, extremely clear with an obvious filtered nature to it. No head, no retention, no lacing. Talk about a lackluster looking beer, this is just pretty sad.
S: Wet grassy hops, orange peel, black pepper, rose hips. A very faint grainy and hay-like base from the malt comes through but it doesn't seem to add any real diversity or depth to the aroma.
T: Initially the grain bill comes through with evidence of hay and milled grain flavors. Slight earthy, grassy hops provide a nice cut through the rather mundane profile so far. This ends a bit dry with some spice and peppery notes.
M: Nice and bubbly carbonation, a bit thin and watery though. Bordering on the low end of a medium-bodied beer. Dry in the finish.
For this small batch saison from one of my favorite breweries, this was simply disappointing. Serving the beer improperly is one thing, but the actual contents of the glass itself couldn't stand on their own. It wasn't bad in drinking, though I'd never order this again and many saisons are out there that put this attempt to shame.

On tap in the matching glassware at Winking Lizard on 6/2/11
Eye catching gold with a subtle haze. One finger head dissipates but a thin layer remains. Regardless, there is a good showing of lace.
Zeno boasts an utmost crisp aroma. Citrus zest and spice lead off and are engulfed in swaths of grass. Lemon grass and prairie. Hints of pepper; perhaps from the French yeast. Apple tartness. Nips of orange. Clove is apparent as it warms. Very Clean.
Ooh, packs a bit of a punch, too. It's a restless critter. Lemon zest and a touch of tangy light fruits take up the front half. Grassy flavor mid way through that holds until the finish. Undertones of grains; thank you, pilsner malts. Spicy finish with grassy residuals and citrus zest, orange pith. The flavor profile is seamless. Cracked white pepper lingers long. Herbal notions as it warms up.
The body is crisp and filled out with ample carbonation - half fluffy, half prickly. The only downside is that the carbonation prevents it from being anything more than a sipper. Other than that, it's clean with a pleasant finish.
Overall impression: plenty of good things going on with little room for gripes.

Had at the attic in Toledo on draft.
Poured into a pint glass, golden orange color with a super thick foamy white head. Pretty cloudy. Very carbonated.
Smells like orange peel, coriander, and a little funkyness.
Taste is like a spicy wheat beer but with a belgian yeastyness to it. Somewhere in between wheat beer and saison but not really a true saison. I am more reminded of the taste of something like holy moses than a saison. Nonetheless super refreshing.
Overall this is just another dogfish beer to knock off the list. It is good but nothing to right home about. I like the idea of making a nice refreshing summer beer but this one was just a little too filling for me.

Enjoyed at DFH pub in Rehobeth. All that one would expect from a Saison, except the bar lists it as 5.9% ABV instead of BA's 5.2%. Very pleasant, wheaty summer flavours with a lingering bitter finish.
Aroma is limited to the wheat with a mild fruit sweetness in the background. Flavours follow, with none of the west-coast IPA hops I'd hoped for after the in-house description : "A refreshingly light Saison with a healthy dose of American hops in the finish".
Nicely bitter, but not terribly different from many other "craft" Saisons.

a: This was a slightly hazy, pale golden color. It was served to me with a thin, whispy head.
s: A very nice combination of biscuity malts, lemon zest, and yeasty cloves. As it warmed some faint fruity esters emerged.
t: Quite dry overall, just as I hoped it would be. Biscuits and lemon up front with just a hint of fruit form the Belgian yeast. There was plenty of fresh, moderately bitter lemons at the end along with a fairly strong clove note.
m: Medium bodied with light, prickly carbonation.
d: This melding of German (pils malts), Belgian (yeast), and American (hops) is DFH at its innovative best. There experiments often go awry in my opinion, but this one works very well.

Served on-tap as Winking Lizard's glass-of-the-month offering.
Poured a mostly clear light orange-amber, as I recall. A white head stuck in rings all over the glass. Smell was fresh and herbal. Taste was very crisp and refreshing. Spicy. A lot of sour grapefruit. Unique yeast, I could tell. Tart aftertaste. A good, complex, and easily sessionable beer. I can't believe this beer isn't bottled!

Served in a kick-ass DFH & lizard branded goblet/almost wine glass. This is the best Winking Lizard glass of the month yet this year, and the beer is solid as all get-out.
What is Zeno? Well, the beer is described as a saison with German pilsner malt, American hops and French farmhouse yeast. A group of the Winking Lizard's beery best went to Dogfish Head to brew a 25th anniversary beer and, after discussing what direction to head in, this was the obvious path. The beer is named after an ancient philosopher but the beer is a fusion as only 21st century American brewers could pull off.
What a lovely colored beer! Zeno is a primarily gold color with just a touch of brown, orange and straw intermingled. A nice, white one-finger head and decent lace are acceptable, but that aspect doesn't scream saison. This could have a more billowing, fluffy head but still looks great.
The smell begins with the trademark characteristics of a nice German malt - clean pilsner notes and some crackers are evident. The yeast has contributed esters in the form of spice - white pepper, grassiness, and maybe a touch of herb. American hops don't lend a ton of citrus but just a touch of lemon and orange. More expression comes into the forefront as it warms. This is very nice - the smell could have just a bit more pop but is interesting with the German and American influences well integrated.
The taste is the strongest aspect of Zeno, and I love it when a beer comes together like this. The taste is dominated by yeasty esters, including a wonderfu spicy pepper, sweet malt and hops. After the initial yeast profile, there's a sweet malt that emerges, almost with a touch of honey. The hops add a lemony note, then the typical pilsner dryness ends the tasting experience with crackery notes. There;s a lingering bitterness but overall the beer ends very cleanly as the sweetness fades to dry. A nice ride and overall a refreshing beer with just enough subtle flavor changes to keep things interesting.
The creamy carbonation is solid and on-point, but the body is just a bit thin compared to, say, a Dupont or Fantome. I'm coming around to the idea that Americans will one day dominate even my beloved saisons. This is a step in the right direction and a great beer. Fusion comes across as natural compliments. I love it when a good beer comes together!

Aroma: Lots of white pepper and spicy notes up front. Melon-like esters and funky fermentation character. No hop aroma. Ok for style.
Appearance: Slighty cloudy with a golden hue in the glass. A tight white head retains well.
Flavor: More melon-like esters up front, cracker-like Pils malt character, and spicy pepper notes follow. Balance is even with esters and spices knitting well together. Finish is crisp and dry.
Mouthfeel: Light body with high, spritzy carbonation. Slight alcohol heat noted.
Overall impression: A bigger, well done Saison. Impressive that DFH can obey the style parameters. Would like to see more of that. Nice job.

Served in an enormous DFH globed wine glass, the stem alone was nearly as tall as a nearby pint. Also I must say that this is one of the most tasteful glass of the month offerings from Winking Lizard to date.
I barely made it in time to get some of the beer last night though, because once we left for the bar, it turned out that we had to drive 1/2 of the distance to the bar before we could reach the bar itself. But before reaching the half-way point, we had to drive half of that distance. This problem arose an infinite number of times, actually. And because there were an infinite number of fractional distances to travel, and arguably, an infinite number of fractional times to spend moving each distance, my trip had the potential of never reaching my end goal.
In fact, poor Zeno was trying to tell me that motion itself was impossible. I tried to fall back on my Aristotle to refute Zeno's argument, but Aristotle never really completely disproved these paradoxes himself. So I just sucked it up - even though perception can be misleading, I had to assume that what I perceived as movement toward Winking Lizard was in fact actually happening. It also helped knowing that Zeno likely had very little understanding of modern physics. So Atomists and Parmenideans be damned! Let's review the beer!
The beer itself was stunningly clear for a saison. There was a rather short cap of super frothy white head. The head retention was superb, and I was immediately greeted with a full-blown blanket of lace wrapping around my massive glass.
The aroma was rather standard for a saison in some ways, but this isn't exactly a bad thing. I guess I was just expecting more funk than I got. What I can say in praise is that it smelled very crisp and clean. Nice spicy yeast esters mixed with grassy pollen notes along with sage, lemon, and thyme.
The taste was definitely not a funk bomb. What Zeno does deliver however is an exceptionally refreshing summer beer, and one of the most drinkable saisons I have ever had. Smooth, bright, and clean, Zeno is worth the wait, even if that wait turns out to be infinity. The French yeast is very nice here.
Wow is this one creamy brew. I was sucking it down, and still it seemed like I was never going to finish this humungous glass of beer! The empty globe of beer I was seeking was just as elusive as Achilles' tortoise. But, if I were to be forced to drink a never-ending beer forever, this one would do just fine, thank you.
Overall this is one of the better Dogfish Head beers to be released lately. I fear that Winking Lizard merely has this as part of their 25th Anniversary lineup (the coolest brew yet this year btw), but in all honesty DHF needs to bottle this stuff. Put it in a 4 pack and I'd buy it all summer long.

A- Pours a clear golden orange color with a white head. Pretty solid retention and leaves some nice lacing.
S- Picking up some citrus mainly lemons, quite a bit of yeast, some funkiness as well, and very light malts.
T- Quiite a bit going on here. A bit of spice, pepper, lemons, yeast and some funk. A touch of bitterness from a herbal earthy type hop.
M- Lighter side of medium in body and good amount of carbonation.
O- Not usually my style of brew, but I thought this one was pretty solid. Nothing over the top going on here.

T- Lots of sour apple, citrus, pepper, yeast and some white wine taste on the finish

A- hazy golden w a thin white head that throws down a ton of delicate drippy lace.
S-full of yeasty funk, barnyard, horses, band aids, and fun. Some lemony citrus and fresh pale malt as well.
T- nice sharp bitterness that fades quickly leaving an herbal hop flavor behind. Funky yeast as in the aroma with some rubbery flavors. Finishes rather complex and herbal and tastes authentically Belgian.
MF- zesty tight carbonation and lighter than apple juice consistancy. Very nice dryness. Refreshing.
D- this is a pretty awesome brew. Dogfish doesn't go overboard with crazy spices or exotic ingredients and instead put out this excellent Saison/biere de garde hybrid. The french yeast makes it. Had on tap at winking lizard in canton.

On tap at the Rehoboth pub tonight
Pouring a very light yellow with a dense white head that hangs around a while leaving no lace, this looks solid. Definitely one of the lighter saisons I've seen. On the nose, this is surprisingly good. Mildly grainy, mild honey and a moderate floral character are the first things that pop out. The floral character is moderately hop-like, but when combined with the honey, it really takes on an orange blossom honey character. Mildly spicy as well, this is a pretty good saison.
The palate opens just a touch astringent with some grainy bitterness immediately noticeable. Once my palate gets used to it (which is rather quick), the mildly sugary, mildly honey-like sweetness kicked in, along with a moderate hop flavor, very citrus-like with orange and lemon. Moderately spicy on the finish, this has a little pepper and maybe some clove? Despite the sweetness, this beer dries up on the finish. With the high carbonation, this is quite quenching and very refreshing. I'd drink it again.

Served in a shaker pint glass.
This is an unusual saison. It pours a very hazy golden straw, looking a helluva lot like fresh pineapple juice, topped by a small head of white micro-foam. The nose comprises lemon, lemon zest (there's a difference, I'm tellin' ya!), cardamom, mango, wheat, lemongrass (did I mention there was some lemony goodness here?), orange peel, pineapple, some light florals, and a dash of pepper. It's fruitier than most saisons I've had, but still has that sorta saison-y feel. The taste holds notes of lemon zest, a more sour bit o' lemon than before, peppercorns, cardamom, coriander, lemongrass, and a slight, though rather perceptible, hoppy bitterness. The body is pretty light, with a sharp but short carbpnation and a dry, refreshing finish. Honestly, I really enjoyed this beer, especially after sweltering in my car for the couple hours to the brewpub. I think it more closely resembles a wit, what with the cloudy, fruity characters, but the feel is more in line with a saison (and I'm not one to argue with the folks at DFH...). Good times.

When Tony Tolbert turned 50 last year, he marked the occasion by moving in with his mother.
The decision wasn't about money. He's a Harvard-educated attorney, on the staff of UCLA's law school. And it wasn't because his mother wanted or needed him home.
It was Tolbert's response to the sort of midlife milestone that prompts us to take stock. Instead of buying a sports car, he decided to turn his home — rent free — over to strangers.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
He'd been inspired by a magazine article about a family that sold their house, squeezed into a tiny replacement and donated to charity the $800,000 proceeds from the sale.
"It just struck me how powerful a gesture that was," Tolbert said. "It challenged me to think about what I could do, where I might have some overflow in my life."
His overflow was a modest home on a quiet tree-lined street a short walk from Crenshaw Boulevard. He'd lived there alone for 10 years.
Last January, he moved out and a young single mother with three little children moved in. A South Los Angeles domestic violence program chose the family from its shelter and brokered the deal.
He agreed to let her pay one dollar a month, and imposed on her only one rule: "Whatever has to happen to keep things drama free, that's what I need you to do."
When Tolbert first shared his story with me, he wanted me to write about it but not name him. He didn't want publicity. He just hoped that, since he'd gotten the idea from something he'd read, maybe someone reading my column would be inspired to … do what?
Let strangers take over their homes rent-free?
I figured he was either crazy, very rich or hopelessly naive.
That was last summer, when he didn't know himself how the experiment would work out. There were times, he said, when he wondered if his leap of faith had gone a step too far.
"A couple of friends said 'You're out of your mind.' But others said 'That's great.'"
His mother worried that he was being too trusting — and didn't exactly relish the idea of sharing space with her grown son for the first time in 30 years.
But he'd grown up in a family where sharing your blessings mattered.
So Tolbert left the good furniture for the woman who moved in. He didn't hide his grandmother's heirloom quilt or put away the fine art.
"I told her straight out, this is my home. I'm leaving these things for you to enjoy. I want you to be comfortable here."
That was a learning process for Tolbert: "It was a good exercise in not grasping and hanging on to stuff.... Short of them burning the house down, I had to accept that whatever they tear up, it can also be repaired."
And he had to accept that generosity and gratitude aren't always a matched pair.
"I had all kinds of preconceived notions about how this would play out. We would meet, she would be weeping, want to give me a big hug.... I had to learn to detach, not be attached to any particular outcome or course."

Hi. On my iPhone 3G, with iOS 4.2.1/redsn0w 0.9.6b4, trying to switch apps through the multitasking bar brings me to the lock screen, and unlocking just brings me to the home screen (the apps don't get loaded). Don't know if this is a software issue which can be corrected, or if this just reflects the hardware limitations that kept Apple from supporting the 3G with multitasking in the first place.
Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere in the forum: I found a similar complaint about an iPod Touch 2G as well as one also about an iPhone 3G, but neither post has received a reply.
Thanks for any suggestions.
