More than 1,300 people have signed an online petition to remove the Douglas County Animal Shelter's new director, Rick Smith. 11Alive news is reporting tonight that at least one more such petition exists, also with more than 1,000 signatures.
"New Douglas County animal shelter director Rick Smith is making numerous changes at Douglas County Animal Control, all of which will result in more animals being killed," reads the online petition, posted by Douglas Animal Advocates Network. "Rick's proposed new animal ordinance updates will make him judge, jury and executioner and will give him even more power to kill animals."
Carl Pyrdum, an outspoken critic of Smith, was removed from the county's Animal Control Advisory Board this week by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners.
Pyrdum said the county administrator informed him of the BOC's decision, which was made in executive session after Tuesday's public meeting.
Pyrdum spoke at Monday's BOC work session, announcing the resignation of Mike Pope, the shelter's field supervisor. Pyrdum also said that Pope's resignation came five days after the resignation of Tracy Thompson, the shelter supervisor, and that he believed the resignations were indicative of a problem at the shelter since Smith's arrival two months ago.
Pyrdum was appointed as Commission Chairman Tom Worthan's representative on the board roughly 10 months ago.
"I believe that I was removed for being an outspoken critic of the new animal service director Rick Smith" Pyrdum said in an email. "Having written blogs (on Douglasville Patch) and having been interviewed by the Sentinel and having expressed my concerns of Mr. Smith's expressed intentions and direction for the shelter and ultimately for my bringing those concerns to the BOC in a public forum at their work session meeting last Monday."
"To me it looks like a witch hunt," Commission Chair Tom Worthan told 11Alive News in an interview.
Worthan told 11Alive that nothing has changed with the County's euthanasia rate since Smith's arrival, "I have not seen it go up. We're at about 16 to 17 percent today. If you check the counties around us, they're going to be at 60 or 70 percent."
"I have not spoken to Chairman Worthan; he never contacted me to express either his sentiments, reasoning or thanks. His decision to remove me from the board was conveyed to me via a phone call from Eric Linton, (county administrator) on Tuesday afternoon and I received an official letter from Mr. Linton on Thursday confirming the previous conversation."
11Alive also reports that the Southern HOPE Humane Society has decided to discontinue the popular Mae West Fix 'Em Free Program effective Feb. 15. The program provides free spay and neuter procedures to the pets of Douglas County residents who cannot afford to get their pets sterilized.
"The decision to end this program is due to the hiring of Rick Smith and his actions since becoming director," reads the letter sent to the Douglas County Amimal Shelter by the Soutern HOPE Humane Society. "This program has provided hundreds of fre spay/neuters to Douglas County low income residents over the past two years. We know the Fix 'Em Free Program has also helped to lower Douglas County's kill rate.
Pyrdum believes the shelter is taking a step backwards after improvements over the past year.
"I believe the direction of the shelter under Rick Smith, is to return to the days where animals are picked up and put down on a weekly basis for enforcement and control purposes exclusively. I earnestly do not believe that Mr. Smith has any intention of pursuing animal welfare, adoption or rescue issues on any level beyond lip service. Mr. Smith has repeatedly cited his perceived need to have a 'manageable capacity' at the shelter and his concerns over 'inhumane life and humane death' and when pressed to define his intentions, his only comments to myself or others on how he intends to do that is: is that 'hard decisions will have to be made.'
"These are code phrases for euthanasia and a justification for killing animals as opposed to housing them and trying to find them homes via adoption and rescue. Mr. Smith has repeatedly used the analogy of 'puppy mills and hoarding,' to myself and others when addressing his feelings of the progress made over the past year by volunteers and staff, who have actively been engaged in reducing euthanasia and increasing adoptions and rescues at the shelter. Mr. Smith has told me and others in the community in both direct conversations and in writing, that he feels the efforts of dedicated volunteers and shelter staff have been no better than those who run 'puppy mills and hoarders.' As recent as last Sunday he was accusing the former shelter supervisor, who resigned rather than serve under him, of perpetuating hoarding in the isolation room. He accused the employee to me directly, of utilizing the space in ISO to house over flow cats while they were networked for adoption and rescue as 'hoarding.'
"I would like to say that based upon my conversations and meetings with Rick Smith and my observations of his intentions as expressed by his actions since becoming the animal services director, it is more than apparent to myself and others that Douglas county is moving backward and regressing backward away from the progressive success that has been obtained over the past year at our shelter," continued Pyrdum in the email. "Mr. Smith's expressed intentions are to focus exclusively on enforcement violations and animal control, while driving his proposals to change county law to satisfy his desire to have absolute control over not only animal control, but also the property rights of citizens of Douglas county.
"To date, his determined efforts to impose his philosophical realignment of the animal shelter, has resulted in the resignation of both supervisory shelter staff and a forced alienation of dedicated volunteers who have invested their time money and efforts on behalf of the animals and the community toward saving lives. Mr. Smith is setting about to control every aspect of animal control and animal welfare in Douglas county. His creation of a volunteer group of which he has appointed his wife as head, smacks of nepotism and his desire to control all levels of animal control and animal welfare in Douglas county. I for one refuse to become part of this man's antiquated philosophy of animal control of seizing, warehousing and killing healthy and adoptable animals wholesale to satisfy his antiquated philosophy of animal control. And I refused to be part of the sham representation of a volunteer group that his wife is heading and attempting to force descent and dedicated volunteers to join, just so he can control volunteer activities for his own purposes."
Pyrdum points to an article published in St. Joseph Missouri in New Press Now in 2008, where Smith recalls his record of killing more than 70,000 animals over the course of his career, which at that point was twenty nine years.
"That represents an average death rate of more than 200 animals a month during his tenure, over 2,400 a month over the course of his then twenty nine year career in St, Josephs," Pyrdum continued in the email. "This is the level of animal care and expertise that Mr. Smith is now demonstrably determined to bring to Douglas county and I for one as a citizen and as an animal welfare advocate, don't believe that we need this man here killing our animals wholesale as he has done over his career in Missouri.
"I will continue to work toward saving animals in Douglas county and in my efforts to keep the community informed of the actions taking place to reverse the positive efforts and results of the past year at our shelter."
The ACAB is made up of a representative from each of the four county commission districts, the chairman's representative and a member representing the city of Douglasville. Local veterinarian Dr. Justin Verner also has a non-voting spot on the ACAB, which can make policy recommendations to the BOC for approval.

Fiorentina v US Pescara: Preview
Fiorentina will have a special guest in the stands of the Artemio Franchi tomorrow with new signing Giuseppe Rossi getting a close look at his new team-mates.
Rossi underwent a medical in Florence this morning before signing a contract sealing a transfer from Villarreal to the Serie A club prior to the visit of Pescara.
Fiorentina's fans will have to wait a while yet before seeing him in action though, as the serious knee injury which he picked up last April - and which ruled him out of Euro 2012 - still needs a few more months to heal.
Keeping his place warm will be Stevan Jovetic and Rodrigo Gonzalez, whose goals have taken Fiorentina into contention for a place in the Champions League next season.
Both were on target in a 3-0 win over Palermo which saw the Viola end 2012 in style, and in third place.
That has set the bar high for 2013, but coach Vincenzo Montella is keen to keep it that way.
``Our aim is to give it our best all the time and to try to remain at these levels,'' he told Sky television.
``We started from scratch in the summer, wanting to relaunch this side.''
Opponents Pescara also started afresh in the summer following their promotion to Serie A, and the defections of coach Zdenek Zeman and key players Lorenzo Insigne, Ciro Immobile and Marco Verratti.
They turned the page again just before Christmas with the appointment of Cristiano Bergodi as their new coach, and after a 2-1 win over Catania, he is confident the Abruzzans can avoid the drop.
``I believe we can stay up and I believe in the potential of this side,'' he said.
``We are happy. Everybody has got to give their own small contribution to the cause for us to stay up.''
Pescara go into the last game of the first half of the season two points above the relegation zone.

50th Anniversary of Ferrari 250 GT Short Wheelbase Berlinetta Honored at 2010 Pebble Beach Concours dElegance
Storied Gran Turismo Established Ferraris Commercial Success While Expanding its Racing Reputation
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (July 14, 2010) It is difficult to find new superlatives when discussing Ferrari. The companys cars and racing heritage have been examined, considered and written about repeatedly and in detail. Yet even in this rarified world of records and wins, automotive excellence and power, there are a few cars that have gained more significance than the rest. The 250 GT Short Wheelbase Berlinetta is one, and it will be celebrated at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours dElegance on August 15.
Racing great Sir Stirling Moss, who serves among the Honorary Judges at the Pebble Beach Concours, is eager to see these cars take to the 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links. He drove a 250 GT SWB Berlinetta to four victories on racing circuits across Europe in 1961 and has high praise for the model: It was beautiful to drive, reliable and stunning to look at. It always amazed me that the car had such an uncomplicated rear suspension. Although it was only three liters, I cannot think of any car that was better to drive, especially on difficult roads. It was one of those cars, that the more you drove it, the better she became.
It was such a civilized car, that Rob Walker fitted the one I drove with a radio. This allowed me to tune in to the BBC and listen to not only my race, but also to hear how my competitors were doing!
Enzo Ferraris passion was racing. He brought to market a number of extraordinary cars meant for the road, but still racers at their core. The first car from Maranello that was intended from its beginnings to be built in quantity, Ferraris 250 GT, was the finest high performance grand touring car in the world and its sales success made the companys worldwide sports car and grand prix racing programs possible.
The ultimate 250 GT, the Short Wheelbase Berlinetta the term berlinetta literally means little coupe in Italian made its debut at the 1959 Paris Auto Show and was an immediate hit. A total of 165 were produced, 75 for serious competition. No two were exactly alike; features were often changed depending on the clients wishes and manufacturing expediency. The engine was the latest development from the original V-12. Depending on carburetion, camshafts, compression and other modifications, the engine produced 240 to almost 280 horsepower. During its brief period of production the SWB won numerous races around the world, including the GT class at Le Mans twice and the Tour de France twice.
The Pebble Beach Concours dElegance has chosen eight cars to provide a comprehensive overview of the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta in honor of its 50th anniversary. It is an extraordinary assembly, said Ed Gilbertson, Chief Judge. Fifty years ago the 250 GT Passo Corto the Short Wheelbase Berlinetta set the standard for dual purpose Ferraris. We think the cars selected will give Pebble Beach Concours guests insight into the magic and mystery of these special cars.
Among the cars invited to participate in the Concours celebration is the very first 250 GT SWB Berlinetta produced. It's the car that debuted at the Paris Auto Show in 1959 and also took 6th place overall at Sebring in 1960. This car is currently being returned to its 59 Paris Auto Show condition by Ferrari specialist Bob Smith.
Three of the renowned 1961 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competition cars will also grace the eighteenth fairway at this years Pebble Beach Concours, including one of the cars that won its class at Le Mans. Only 21 of these high performance cars were produced. Factory built for racing with a special lighter chassis, subtle changes to the alloy body, and powered by the highest specification Tipo 168B engine, the Comp/61 (sometimes called a SEFAC Hot Rod) delivered almost 300 bhp, reached 60 mph in five seconds and had a top speed of over 150.
One of these Comp/61 cars, owned by Joseph M. Barone and Vanessa Wong, is featured on the poster for the 2010 Pebble Beach Tour dElegance presented by Rolex. Restorer Wayne Obry explains, Because of this cars original condition and racing provenance, weve picked a precise point in time when it raced in the Tour de France in 1962 and are restoring the car to that configuration. This was a period when the cars livery was especially attractive and for which weve found the most detailed photos. This is a powerful, beautiful car.
In addition to celebrating the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta, the 60th annual Pebble Beach Concours dElegance will feature Alfa Romeo, Jaguar and Pierce-Arrow and will showcase Italian designer Ghia. Additional special classes focus on the centennial of the Indianapolis 500, Hot Rod Lakesters and Bonneville Racers, and Prewar American Motorcycles.
First conducted in 1950, Pebble Beach Concours dElegance® (www.pebblebeachconcours.net) has grown to be the worlds premier celebration of the automobile. The most beautiful and rare cars are invited to appear on the famed 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links®, and connoisseurs of art and style flock to see these masterpieces.

The PC Emulator VMware Workstation 4.5.2 for Linux
Version 4.5.2 of the commercial VMware PC emulator was released just recently. For many users, VMware is the preeminent virtual PC. In this article, we'll tell you what's new in VMWare Workstation 4.5.2, and we'll show you how you can get started with running Linux in VMWare.
Despite the success of Wine-based compatibility applications, you may still have the need to emulate a complete PC. For example, you might want to try out a Windows program that doesn't work in Wine, set up a number of test machines without being restricted by partition tables, or just test your new website using a variety of operating systems and browsers. If so, a virtual machine is the way to go. Fake and Fool In contrast to API emulators like Wine, VMware workstation emulates a complete computer as a software program. The so-called guest operating system runs within the VMware simulation, which can't distinguish this environment from a real PC. VMware [1], the enterprise behind the product with the same name (which became a subsidiary of EMC corporation in 2004), has Linux and Windows variants of the emulator. The boxed version costs US$ 199 in the VMware store [2]; the download variant costs just 10 dollars less [3].

The benefits versus drawbacks of using PowerPoint® presentations can stir lively conversation in the workplace. Some would go so far as to toss out PowerPoint presentations altogether, such as the late Steve Jobs, who believed they stifled creative thinking. Others firmly stand by them as an effective way to communicate.
I believe that a well-crafted PowerPoint presentation can be, well, powerful and pointed. Appealing and engaging slides can bring focus to a discussion, present complex facts and figures in a way that's easy for an audience to grasp, spark lively dialogue, and enable teams to come to closure on solving a problem or diving into a new project. For example, companywide webcasts, financial discussions and strategic business reviews benefit greatly from solidly crafted PowerPoint presentations. And sending the slides to your audience after a meeting serves as an important resource and often a way to keep a dialogue going. In essence, PowerPoint can become a very effective language for communicating thoughts, ideas and actions.
Of course, getting a PowerPoint presentation "just right" can take a great deal of time and effort. I've seen colleagues labor over slides to the point of exhaustion, struggling to cram in as much information as possible. That can be a lose-lose proposition that exhausts both the presenter and the audience.
The key is to strike a balance between too many words and too few; between "eye chart" graphics and appealing visuals – not an easy task, I admit. But PowerPoint slides are meant to enhance a presentation and engage an audience – not overwhelm them with information or eliminate the need for discussion.
You don't have to search too hard to find useful tips for constructing a "powerful" PowerPoint presentation. I uncovered quite a few, including some that deserve mentioning. Here they are, not in any particular order of importance:
You'll find many other useful tips and tricks from two sites I recently visited:
https://www.e-education.psu.edu/geog889/l1_p11.html and
It's important to remember that PowerPoint is just one of the many tools you have in your oratorical tool belt, so don't be afraid to branch out and add other elements to your presentations like relating a personal anecdote or even asking your audience to take a quick pop quiz.
Clearly, the power of an effective PowerPoint presentation cannot be underestimated. And knowing how to put that power to work effectively will engage and energize your audience – and keep them awake.

So yesterday i got excited to update my iphone 3G to the apple 3.0 firmware...
After waiting hours for it to back up and actually install, i got greeted with "unable to restore, error 1013" or something like that.
I've tried so many different ways to restore using the DFU and recovery modes, but nothing. The closest i got was another error message "restore needed, please restore using itunes" but then got something about my SIM pin stopping it from activating!
Please can someone help me out here, i have just about lost all patience with Apple and it' products!!

Laurier is nearly unique in North America for its courses in Medievalism, that is, the attitudes of people in later periods in history toward the Middle Ages. Medieval Studies thus links to contemporary attitudes toward myths, heroes, magic, fantasy, science fiction, crafts and role-playing clubs, films such as the Harry Potter series, and video games such as Age of the Empires.
This program continues the strong tradition of student focus at Laurier and has the potential to produce students with two or three teachables within one major extraordinarily beneficial for student career outcomes.
In sum, Medieval Studies is a perfect example of the kind of program that can set the seal upon the superb liberal arts education that is at the core of Lauriers reputation for excellence.
In sum, Medieval Studies is a perfect example of the kind of program that can set the seal upon the superb liberal arts education that is at the core of Lauriers reputation for excellence.
All Faculty at all levels of the program are known for the high quality of their teaching and for their helpful and altruistic attitudes toward students. Our researchers have international reputations in the areas of Medieval history, colonialism, images of saints, sermon studies, gender studies, music manuscripts from France, archaeology, spirituality, and Old English, Middle English, Old Norse, and fantasy literature. Much of this research has been continually funded by significant and prestigious government grants.
Lauriers is the only Medieval Studies program in Ontario that incorporates Medievalism (that is, the later representations of the Middle Ages) right into its program offerings.
Lauriers is the only Medieval Studies program in Ontario (perhaps in North America) that begins right in year 1 with an intensive and challenging course dedicated entirely to interdisciplinary study of the Middle Ages.
The program is very flexible. It enables students to tailor their medieval study to a literary, cultural, or historical focus, and potentially introduces students to a vast variety of critical approaches. Students can take a double major and still have much (rare) freedom with their electives, and can meet teachable requirements in English, History, French, Spanish, German,, Music, and Religion. The program also includes courses in more than one Faculty at Laurier, a rare opportunity for students.
Students are able to concentrate on medieval history, literature, languages, music, philosophy, political thought, intellectual history, archaeology, art, and manuscripts. The program features many exciting disciplines such as Early Islam, Anglo-Saxon Studies, History of the Medieval Church, Roles of Women in the Middle Ages, Medieval Drama, Medieval Music, Popular Culture Influenced by Medieval Traditions, Chaucer, Vikings, Latin, Greek, French, and Italian.
By crossing traditional disciplinary boundaries and intensively studying a variety of cultural materials from the Middle Ages, students can improve their cultural literacy, cultivate their sense of internationalization, learn to use an unbounded array of theories and methodologies, and communicate with skill. Ideally, the Medieval Studies Program teaches students what it means to specialize in a period: the endless possibilities, the often permeable boundaries, the core issues, the important debates, and the most productive and useful research. More specifically, the progressive development of a Medieval Studies program at Laurier has important implications for civic engagement, personal decision-making, behaviour-adjustments, rethinking of attitudes, quality of life, and interpersonal relationships in Canada. Medieval peoples are often characterized as "barbaric" and "primitive," while their cultural materials have been frequently ignored and slighted by later societies. Research into these materials enhances in a fundamental way our understanding of prejudice and discrimination against societies perceived as distant from present-day ones, and promotes ideas of justice, tolerance, understanding, respect, and other multi-cultural concerns and initiatives that Laurier is known for internationally.
Internationalism: Study of any cultural material of the Middle Ages almost invariably leads to an appreciation of the amazingly creative, original, and vigorous communities of interpretation that flourished in diverse parts of the world during this period. Indeed, topics such as representations of race, gender, trade, colonialism, political theories, and inter-cultural artistic and musical currents all seen through the lens of internationalization are burgeoning fields within the discipline.

Annual Special Events:
We have been offering Medieval Day since 2005. The event has featured world-class speakers, faculty and student panels, and displays of medieval music, art, and drama. This event typically draws over 200 people, including members of the general public.
We have been programming the Distinguished Visiting Speaker Series since 2006. Past speakers have included Ralph Hanna III, an expert in medieval manuscripts, Carolyn. Dinshaw, an expert in literary analysis and theory, and Brian Gillingham, an expert in the history of medieval music.
We have been running MedSTEP since 2008. MedSTEP is an exciting outreach event to elementary and high school students. It potentially offers valuable teaching experience for Medieval Studies students at Laurier.
Student Society: The Medieval Students Society is probably the strongest student group on campus, demonstrating exceptional volunteerism and enthusiasm. The Society is involved in decisions that effect the program, in enjoyable social events, and in many educational outreach programs.
History of Medieval Studies: Lauriers program was launched in September 2003, the double-cohort year, with its first-year course, ML 100: "Discovering the Middle Ages." 2nd- and 3rd-year courses were added in the following few years. We now offer courses at all levels, including 4th-year seminars.
Growth: Since 2004 numbers have increased dramatically in all courses, in many cases doubling the previous year. Our retention rate is high, and alumni have been loyal. In 2009, a graduating student in Medieval Studies won the Alumni Gold Medal for the Faculty of Arts for the first time.
Exchange: Our program has a special exchange agreement with the University of Poitiers in France. Students can take courses there on medieval subjects in either English or French.

Reno >Food & Dining > Francis' Asian Bistro
4796 Caughlin Pkwy Ste 101, Reno, NV | Directions 8951939.484904 -119.852908
Neighborhoods: Ward 1
Really good, quality food and service too – Quality food in a nice atmosphere. Eat here often. If it weren't great, I wouldn't go back. Sounds like reviewer Allnightrodeo has a personal grudge. I notice this guy has spammed a lot of the review sites with Francis' bashing. And who listens to a find dining review from somone with a handle, "allnightrodeo". Ok then.
Francis' Asian Bistro is one of my favorites – Don't let the plain restaurant front fool you. Francis' Asian Bistro is A class act! Beautiful city view from the dining room. I have never had a bad meal at this restaurant and I have eaten there many times. The Sushi is so good that it has spoiled me - won't eat it anywhere else except maybe Oceana. Try the Spicy Prawns, the from-scratch PotStickers, the Combo Fried Rice, and any of the fish is stupendous. The Chilean Seabass with Ginger and Herbs is my favorite, with the Chinook Salmon running a close second. Mrs. Wong (owner) is probably the most knowledgeable person I've ever met on the topic of seafood. She's recommended some things I wouldn't have known to try, and I've loved them all. Gotta Love Francis'.
Among the best in Reno – I eat at Francis' regularly (at least once a week). I can think of one work to describe it - INSPIRED! I love this place. Great Sushi, Great Fish, Great Chinese, Great Service, Great Atmosphere. I highly recommend it.
Worst service and attitude ever – My wife and I have eaten here maybe 3 times. We were wowed by the interior design the first time. After the last time we will never go back. The service seems very pretensious and like "oh you should be hounred to be in our place". The food is OK but way over priced. Elegent "American Chinese food?" The point of contension was not so much the food but the attitude of Francis the owner. My wife ordered sukuakai, as she had severl times before. The meat this time was full of gristle and not really what it should have been, so we returned it and then Francis comes over and says in a very abrupt was that "that just the way the meat is". He very begrudgingly made another order. This is not the way to keep your customers. I think this "Asian Bistro" trend I am seeing locally is not really a good thing. Take American Chinese food (sweet and sour et al.) dress it up with a black square plate and call it new and innovative? I'll give a place credit if it can take some real Chinese food and be creative with it. Jazmine's chef Quoc seems to have it together. They may have had start up pains but try it now, but don't order that Americanized stuff, get the specials.
So to sum up, Francis's is thumbs down, or should I say its Francis himself!

12oz Bottle from the Potsdam NY IGA for $2
Appearance - Slightly hazy golden yellow colour with a large size fizzy white coloured head. There is a high amount of carbonation showing and there is not much lacing. The head lasted for around 5 minutes.
Smell - Breads/grains, clove/coriander, lemons
Taste & Mouth - There is a high amount of carbonation and I can taste breads/grains mixed with some lemon and some clove/coriander. There is also some herbal grassy notes and a floral/perfume flavour. It ends with a floral lingering aftertaste.
Overall - Good not great. The astringent floral notes get tiresome after a while. Well worth trying but not something I'd buy a whole lot of. A decent summer refresher.

Poured from a bottle into a tumbler pint, the beer is a copper-gold coloring with a filmy white coating. Aromas of toasted wheat, citrus sweet, and a touch of roasted herbs. Flavors are light and smooth, with a roasty and nutty backbone supporting some light spicing and lemony citrus blendings. Aftertaste is fruity sweet, with a grainy touch. The finish is a bit filmy and slightly lingering. Not bad.

Golden yellow in color with a slight chill haze. Poured with a short white foam that quickly reduced to a wispy cap that left sticky lacings on the glass. Lemon, earthy, grassy, bready aromas. Crisp, tangy feel with refreshing lively carbonation and a crisp finish. Tangy, spicy hop flavors with earthy grass and bready malt beneath from beginning to end. Finishes with a light tangy, herbal hop bitterness. Very crisp and refreshing.

A- Partly cloudy light orange beer poured into a pint glass. Foamy white head forms to a nice three finger size but it only lasts for a minute or so. Tiny bubbly ring around the edges with a few clouds in the middle. Head disappears completely leaving no lace and a strange looking beverage.
S- Wheat/grain bomb, too much so it seems to dominate every whiff I get. I also get some lemon/citrus zest and just tiny yeast spice behind that.
T- Again, each sip brings with it a hefty dose of wheat bread crust. The citrus peel, floral, spicy, clove and yeast comes through more than the aroma. I get some sort of cardboard/corn hint as well, hard to describe (just super wheaty?).
MF- Light body with a somewhat watery feel. The carbonation is lower than I expected and seems off for the style. Slight bitterness.
Doesn't really do it for me in any way. The spices don't bring much flavor. The Witbier aspect of this is just not there. I just get a big flavor of wheat crust and some corn/cardboard thing going on when it comes down to it.

A: Pours a pale yellowish color with a slight haze to it with less then a fingers worth of head that dissipates to a very thin veil of lace across the top.
S: Aromas of wheat and light orange citrus coming thru with a very light hint of spice.
T: Lemon is the main characteristic here with light wheat and grain. Spice is very very faint, barely noticeable at all. Mild citrus bitterness at the end. If I had a lemon slice I would probably give it a 4.
M: Light carbonation works with the citrus flavors and theres a bit of dryness at the end.
O: Not a bad summer beer. Crisp and refreshing, def a nice summer brew.

Pours yellowish orange with golden highlights. Is very cloudy with a bubbly white head - little retention.
Smells of wheat, bitter lemon, fresh citrus, and warm spice - bitter herb.
Bitter lemon and sweet orange make for a lively mouth feel. Whole grain wheat comes after as it finishes with a bitter herb/spice. Drinking this on a partly sunny, partly cloudy PA day.

Appearance: Light golden color with a slight chill haze. Carbonation seem low in y glass.
Smell: I'm not sure what this smells like, but it is not too pleasant.
Taste: This was a huge surprise. I thought I had picked up 2 six packs of Ground Break Saison, but they changed regional beer over to Partly Sunny and I didn't notice. Quite a huge step down from Ground Break. This tastes like no other beer I ever had. It's not enjoyable which is a disappointment given it's from Ithaca a great regional brewery.
Overall: Sub par, I did not realize this was a wit beer until I logged into BA.

When i opened the bottle it exploded with carobnation. When I poured the beer, it has a hazy golden color body with a nice white head. The smell is of clove and other spices. The taste has a lot of spice going on, but mainly it is clove. This has a great mouth feel and overall a average beer.

As soon as I opened the bottle, there was a ton of carbonation that poured out of the top of the bottle. When I poured it, it poured a hazy yellow with decent, soft white head that has good retention. The nose has notes of clove, yeast, and straw. The taste is clove, lemon, spice, yeast, white grapes, and very faint alcohol phenols. The mouthfeel is light bodied, moderately carbonated (in mouthfeel, not in pour), and very smooth.
Not bad, but hardly complex. This beer is a beginner's Wit. There's nothing offensive, but there are also elements of a decent wit. For those looking to get into the style, it's definitely worth checking out.

12 oz bottle courtesy of RocPorterFanatic. Pours very hazed and has a massive, topographous white head. Awesome retention. This is an almost perfect looking wit.
Coriander is definitely there in the nose, as is a hefty wheat tang. Has a spritzy lemon character that is a bit different and gives it almost a sour-ish aroma. Interesting.
The lemony aspect is definitely big in the flavor as well and makes this one almost an american wheat/witbier hybrid flavor. The coriander is not very strong and the beer lacks the traditional 'soft' feel to it that most of the classic wits have. Still though, not bad and is fairly enjoyable to drink. As a proclaimed wit fiend, this was fun to try and has some unique characteristics, but ones enough for now.

look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
A: A pale tangerine color is moderately hazy, with a strong waverly mist of micro-bubbles rising within. The capping is strong, 2 fingers, sea-shell white in color, with a frumpy, stryofoam like texture. The lacing is equally strong sticking well to the glass leaving a chunky, bready ring band about.
S: Pale oranges, wheat and a pretty good musky nature. Fairly simple, could use some sharpness as well coriander to spice things up.
T: sharp nature, pale oranges and wheat. No frills flavor that lacked a good spiciness (again coriander and a lemony touch would have been nice). Musky hops, some bitterness come on the close. Dry wheat base, mundane flavor and spicing.
M: Upfront crispness, very tight and well suited per style, but quickly turns to a washy feel after a few seconds. Bubbly, washy that loses credibility on the hold.
O: Besides a good visual nature the beer lacks in comparison to staple styles like hoegaarden. Lacks a good spicy nature, bite, with a fairly sloppy wheat base that comes off as ordinary as the spicing. Partly sunny is partly dull and overcast.

Pours a murky golden straw color. A vigorous pour produces a lite foamy head fading fast.
Aroma is mostly of corrinder and celery.
Taste is definitly corrinder dominated.
Tart and dry with an off aftertaste.
Blue moon or this beer, it's a hard choice.

Aroma definitely carries a strong banana smell to it with some clove in there as well. It smells like a hefeweizen for sure, but it's categorized as a wit here. Taste should be interesting.
Taste is a tale of two halves. It starts out with a good banana presence, as was seen on the nose. No surprise there. However, halfway through the swallow it takes on somewhat of a tangy and tart citrus turn along with clove spiciness and a hint of wheat lingering in the background. Very highly carbonated. Dry in the finish.
Again, it does seem more of a hefe to me. I don't see much that would make me think this is a wit. However, for a hefe, it isn't half bad. The tartness was the part of the taste that wasn't my favorite but the rest was very solid.

I got to try this on the way back from the fest. We picked up some rarer brews from upstate NY region.
This beer was a real nice drinkable treat. The beer poured with not that much head, but it lingered nicely. The taste was real clean, with a little bit of spice in the end. Overall, I liked it a lot, but it did not have enough character to really wow me.
It seemed to be dominated by spice and a little hops. Not much malt character at all.
I think this would be a great beer to just sip when you're not thinking about it, but I also feel its just a good beer to have on your side in the summer.

Pours a hazed yellow gold, small cap of white froth, gone quickly. Nice scent filled with citrus peel, tangy wheat and fragrant spices. Taste follows scent, surprised at how full the flavor profile is... lots of bitter citrus, fresh ground spice and tangy wheat malt, maybe a touch too strong for more then a pint at a time. Light bodied, bubbly. A full flavored wit with a lot of good going for it.

A - A very nice bubbly yellow with a half inch of creamy white head. Looks pretty good.
S - Expecting a bit of lemon, yest or maybe some spice I am greeted with a smell of sour apples and pears. Is this a Saison? Very weird indeed.
T - Ow wow full on Saison flavors which is kind of offputting since it's very tart. I get full on apple and pear with a touch of lingering hay and a nice bit of hops in the finish. Rating to style this is a complete fail.
M - Medium bodied was surprisingly harder to drink than I thought.
Overall I love their "Groundbreak Saison" but this is kind of a disaster. Rating to style? Terrible. Rating to likeness. Pretty lousy.
I would avoid this if expecting to get a succession-able witbier.

Partly sunny this beer is. Into my goblet a cloudy golden yellow with a big bubbly white head. Nose contains a lot of spice. Coriander, clove, slightly sour wheat and orange peel. Flavor is full of tangy lemon, orange and wheat. The spice quickly kicks in bringing out a lot of peppery yeast and coriander. It finishes with a crisp bitterness that dulls the spicy notes down and leaves a fruity finish. The body was light and crisp. Overall It's a decent beer but I thought the spicy middle was a little much.

12oz poured into a pint glass
this comes out a light orange shade thats rather transparent (kinda surprising me as this is a witbier?). nice foamy head with big bubbles sits atop and comes down gradually. some lacing found in there. nose is cloves coriander lemon zest and a bit of bubblegum and orange peel as well. this is definitely more like it. taste is initially coriander and clove followed by a citrus burst that for an instant is orange peel and then quickly transitions into lemon zest. finishes off with a mild bubblegum taste. working semi-silently behind all this is a mild bread taste which doesnt balance the beer but does give a bit of a malt presence. intense carbonation on the front of the tongue coming from this one. overall this is a good beer and goes down easy on this particular hot day.

A: The beer is hazy dark yellow in color and poured with a thin white head that quickly faded away and left lacing on the surface, which eventually completely faded away leaving only a ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: There are light to moderate aromas of orange citrus and wheat in the nose.
T: Like the smell, the taste is dominated by flavors of citrus and wheat, but there are also some spicy hints of coriander.
M: It feels light-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The beer is very easy to drink and can be considered sessionable but I wouldn't consider it refreshing enough to be thirst quenching.

Pours a larger 2+ finger fluffy head that fades semi quickly with some sticky lacing, over hazy banana yellow color.
Nose brings plenty of Belgian malts and wheats, light sweetness, plenty of wheat aromas, touch toasty malts, golden saison like spices are light but present, hints of banana and citrus.
taste starts fairly sweet, lots of citrus and banana and tons of wheat, light toasty malts, light overall but a fairly strong flavor, light saison spices, touch of clove, some bitterness comes through as it goes, gets a bit more bitter on the finish and fairly dry, a bit to heavy on the spices and sweet malts overall though.
Mouth is med to a bit lighter bodied, tons of carbonation.
Overall not bad, nice flvors but a bit heavier than expected for total spices and wheats, as well as sweetness, and a bit over carbonated, but a nice beer otherwise.

On-tap at Prime 16 into an Allagash White goblet.
A: Lightly hazed pale orange body under two fingers of creamy white head. Terrific, rocky retention and plenty of lace. Classic-looking Wit.
S: Simple, straightforward Witbier. Plenty of clove spice, some light lemon peel and orange. Bright, fresh, and inviting.
T: Clove absolutely dominates, with citrus playing a distant second fiddle. Light chalkiness, and some lemon that persists on the watery finish. All the flavors but the lemon really fall off into nothingness, which helps its refreshing drinkability but hurts its bid to be a tasty or memorable beer.
M: Appropriately light, fizzy body. Nice.
O: I'm generally a big Ithaca fan, and certainly have to give them credit for making an easy-drinking, refreshing Witbier, but this one was definitely a bit of a disappointment. It has neither the creaminess of Allagash White, nor the complexity of an authentic Belgian. It's certainly worth ordering if you're just looking for a thirst-quencher on a partly (or fully) sunny day, but it's nothing to write home about.

M- medium bodied
O-Spin on a whitbier. It has a bit more lemon in the aroma and taste that I think is traditionally in the style, aloong with the use of what seems like cascade hops adding to the citrus and pine notes. Nice refreshing beer.

Ithaca Partly Sunny
12 oz brown bottle
Best before October notched on the side label
Served in a 20 oz tulip glass
Pours a mustard yellow with a big fluffy white head. Bleach white sticky head. Mini carbonation bubbles race to the top of the glass.
Whiffs of spices, citrus and Belgian yeast.
A highly carbonated interpretation of a witbier, that is missing something. Orange juice sweetness with some black pepper spice. Funky yeast and more citrus flavors, but with an overly bitter finish.
A nice try, but such a difficult beer for some craft breweries to pull off with success.

Safer Chemicals in Children's Products
Maine prioritizes chemicals into three tiers
Leading efforts to improve the chemical safety of consumer products, Maine's chemical reporting regulation aims to encourage the use of safer alternatives and increase awareness of potential childhood chemical exposures from common household products.
Three tiers of priority
Maine lists approximately 1400 compounds as chemicals of concern. From this list, chemicals of high concern are designated and upon further review, may be elevated to priority chemical status which results in regulatory action. Each tier of prioritization builds upon the criteria of the list before it.
NEWS - Sales Prohibition effective March 1, 2014
The Maine Legislature and Board of Environmental Protection have approved a state-wide sales prohibition on infant formula packaging and baby food packaging containing intentionally-added bisphenol A in an amount greater than the de minimis level after March 1, 2014. If you are a manufacturer of either of these product categories and are unsure whether you are affected by this new law please contact Kerri Malinowski at (207) 215-1894.

Chez Panisse contingent head to Cuba, public welcome
In the last year, Chez Panisse chefs, staff, and alum have embarked on gourmet global diplomacy trips to Japan (in an informal expedition under the auspices of a group known as OPENrestaurant) and China (in a formal affair the restaurant's owner, Alice Waters, presided over herself.) Now comes word that a contingent from the acclaimed restaurant are headed to Cuba to plant seeds of change on the food and farming front — and learn a thing or two about Cuban cuisine and growing greens from this Carribbean island country.
What's more the trip, scheduled for December 4-12, coincides with the Havana Film Festival, and is open to the public. The delegation includes Chez Panisse downstairs chef Jerome Waag, former Chez Panisse pizzaiolo Charlie Hallowell, Steve Sullivan from Acme Bread (a former Chez Panisse chef), and Cuban-American line cook Danielle Alvarez, who will set foot on Cuban soil for the first time. … Continue reading »

COSBY - The South Greene Rebels rolled to a 42-3 win over Cosby on Friday evening at Raymond Large Field.
South Greene finished with over 400 yards of total offense and held Cosby under 100 yards in the victory.
All of South Greene's 42 points came in the first half, and they looked like a team on a mission.
At the same time, the Cosby Eagles looked like a team that was ready to go home.
"They threw the ball a lot better than we expected them to throw it," Cosby head coach Kevin Hall said. "But just to be honest with you, they really didn't do anything else different that we didn't work on all week."
"We ran the screen at our defense probably 300 times this week, and they ran it four times and went and scored every time. There's not much else we can do. We showed it to them, we showed it to them and then we showed it to them some more."
Hunter Waddell connected with Preston Shuffler for the first score of the night on a 40-yard screen pass on 4th-and-five.
Waddell hit Shuffler on the exact same screen play the next drive and it went 25 yards for another score as the Rebels extended their early lead to 14-0.
Waddell hit Tim Lightfoot for a third score through the air and it pushed the South Greene lead to 21-0 with 8:01 left in the first half.
Waddell finished the night with 259 yards passing
The Rebels continued to pour it on as they would add three more touchdowns before the half.
South Greene's speed really proved to be too much as they were able to get to the edge all game long.
Lightfoot added a two-yard rushing score. Waddell then hit Lightfoot for an 86-yard touchdown one play following a Cosby turnover and Shuffler added an 18-yard rushing touchdown to push the lead to 42-0 at the half.
Nathan Webb put Cosby on the board midway through the third quarter with a 27-yard field goal to make it 42-3.
Dereck Weeks ended up leading the Eagles offensively with 61 yards rushing. Lance Greco tallied eight tackles to lead the defense.

The O-stick. sounds like a sex toy.
Good lord
i have had one for a few weeks, my friend got some trough his team, i like the warriors better, the o stick just feels off to me
I was wondering when they were going to start cutting holes in sticks.
Dare we ask the price?
datsyuk was using it way back in november i think
i'll laugh when i see someone wind up for a shot and snap his stick. never see me playing with that thing.
i dont think ive seen datsyuk break a single stick the entire season, even though he isn't known for big slapshots, but it still endures all the slashes
$330-350 USD. You've got to be out of your *** **** mind!

For your security
I-Checkit is an innovative tool which will engage members of the public and the private sector in detecting and preventing illicit transactions.
Still in its pilot phase, I-Checkit is being developed to:
Reduce the sales of counterfeit and stolen goods
Profits from the sales of fake and illicit goods are used to fund criminal activities, while the products themselves can be dangerous for the consumer.
Identify the fraudulent use of travel documents
Criminals use stolen travel documents to cross borders undetected, often in connection with illegal activities such as terrorism and trafficking in drugs and people.
Detect the movement of stolen motor vehicles
Stolen cars can be used to carry out criminal acts, and the profits from their resale can be used to finance further crimes.
These aims will be delivered via the solutions below:
A mobile or web application will enable police and the general public to check product security information in order to identify illicitly traded and potentially counterfeit goods.
Select private entities will be able to transmit data to be screened against designated INTERPOL databases in order to detect cases of identity fraud and prevent the resale of stolen motor vehicles.
I-Checkit's ultimate goal is to increase global security by providing the general public and private sector with ways to complement existing law enforcement methods.
