Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Pours a nice copper color with a decent head. Smell is ok nothing special. Taste Is Actually Pretty good. Refreshing with some suttle hints of citrus. Nothing spectacular or overwhelming but decently balanced and enjoyable. Feel this beer is slightly underrated and find it to be a little above average for the ipas I like. Will try again

Ovearall: Formidable IPA.

Poured this into a pint glass. The light brassy body gives up a frothy 1 finger head that sinks down some but never goes away.
The aroma has a deep rich caramel malt, brown sugar, breadyness to it along with a decent amount of citrus and floral notes.
The flavor doesn't venture off too far from the nose. I find an incredible balance here, between the caramel malt and the hop bitterness that is usually achieved in pale ales. No extremes here.
The mouthfeel is light with a juicy finish.
Overall a solid brew.

This is a great beer. As far as IPA's go, I would consider it right in front of the middle of the road candidates. It has a great floral nose, however, it leaves you wanting more, not much, but wanting more. Considering all the IPA's that are out there, that really deliver a hoppy punch, Harpoon kind of drinks more like a lager. Delicious for all cuisine and all seasons. I rate it high because it is a great "go-to" if your local store lacks selection, if your local is on the eastern seaboard of course.

12oz bottle poured into a pilsner glass. 41 F. Enjoy by 05/15/14, according to the bottle code.
Pours just slightly amber in color, crystal clear, straw yellow on the edges, light carbonation, small white head. Smell is almost lagery. Definitely pilsnerish. Certainly not what I expect from an IPA, but it doesn't smell bad. Just not an IPA. Maybe I'm too west coast for this.
Taste is actually nice, mild (coming from a land of IIPA, maybe). It's a bit more caramelly than a pilsner, hoppier, not as crisp. It's tasty. I like it.
Mouthfeel is crisp and light. Overall, it's pretty good.

Freshness: Best by 03-15-2014
Packaging: 12 oz. brown bottle, pry-cap
Glassware: Shaker Pint
Purchased: 6-pack from Kroger
A: Clear and light orange in color. The head is white, 2 fingers high and has good retention and lacing.
S: Light aromas are of citrus hops.
T/M: The high carbonation gives it a crisp mouthfeel. Tastes are mainly of the hoppy bitterness. The finish has a bit of astringency to it.
O: A good IPA, although a bit one-dimensional.

Poured from bottle to mug. It was a pretty golden color, head stuck around basically til the last drop. Smell was decent. The taste was a typical IPA, which isn't a bad thing, there was just nothing really to differentiate it from others. The price is pretty good compared to other IPAs I've had that tasted relative. Not the best beer I've ever drank but I did enjoy it. No complaints here.

Very herbal and citrusy aroma. It's mild and less west-coast in style, but I actually really enjoy just taking a big woody, herbal-spice whiff of this one, but the taste does not deliver. A little boozy and thin, not a terribly pleasant or smooth bitterness. Overall, I'll take it if given no other IPA options, as it is solid and gets the job done, but it does leave me wanting more on the taste side of things.

This is one of my favorites so I may be a tad bias.
A - Deep golden/yellow, decent head, slightly underwheling lacing (but its still there)
S - Awesome, super floral and slightly fruity.
T - Filled with floral notes. Such an interesting well balanced IPA. Slightly malty/fruity. The even floral balance throughout the body is really what makes this one perfect. It is apparent as soon as you smell it, and lasts even after you're done tasting it.
M - Nice light/medium body. Medium carbination. A very friendly beer.
O - I love it. If you havent tried one and live in NE then there is something wrong. So far one of my personal favorites! Great job Harpoon.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Poured 12oz bottle into a Samuel Adams pint glass.
A - Light, golden amber color. Half a finger of head with a little lacing throughout.
S - Pine and citrus, but not much there.
T - Grapefruit and floral taste. Light hops and a fairly sweet malt.
M - Lot of carbonation but very light and refreshing.
Overall, not my favorite Harpoon Brew but a very drinkable beer. Light band refreshing. It's a fairly light IPA so those that don't like the bitterness of other IPAs may like this. I'm sure I'll pick up again.

Appearance - straw golden yellow, fine head which dissipates rather quickly.
Aroma - floral and citrus layered over a pleasant honey sweet maltiness.
Taste - grassy and citrusy to start followed by a light malty sweetness and a nice hop finish with just an edge of bitterness.
Mouthfeel - smooth and round with a sweet soft finish.
Overall - very nice IPA with a great balance of malt and hops neither of which is over stated. Very drinkable.

An ok beer. Had on tap, fine taste but hard for me to rate higher with so many great IPA's. Should be b priced with the average IPA's and I would rate higher overall. For those of you who do not like the stronger tasting IPA's this might be your ber. Many a friend of mine o not like the real hoppy IPA's I do, so this would be a high recommendation for them. I would be interested in their feedback. ENJOY!!!

appearance; gold, small bubbles that rise all around the glass to the surface, a finger of white head settles into thin lacing.
smell; not bad but not particularly inviting; sour grapes, hints of citrus and a bit of pine.
taste; obvious grapefruit flavora but the citrus flavor itself is quite mild, yeast, and some pine and bitterness in the finish.
mouthfeel; not bad, medium/light body with the carbonation lingering on the tongue.
overall; not the greatest or most impressive IPA I've had by any means but I'm not sorry it was part of the twelve pack i bought, and those who can't handle very strong, better, IPA's will appreciate its mild flavor.

I'm not a giant fan of this beer. It looks ok, it smells just ok, it tastes in my book less than ok.
On the surface it's golden look and white foam head just don't start or finish right in my mouth.
Overall I've had other Harpoon beers and feel they could do better.

Pours a clear light copper with a half finger of fluffy white head that dissipated quickly. The nose is only mildly hoppy. Overall, the flavor profile is quite light as well. The finish is slightly hoppy, but I have had top-shelf APAs that are hoppier than this offering.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
(Notes of 02/2009) Tasted during a horizontal tasting of two American IPAs, the other one being the Flying Dog "Snake Dog IPA"; BB 21/10/2008, served only mildly chilled in a wine glass.
A: dark golden to amber in colour, fast-retreating off-white foamy head, fizzy upfront, then turning light on the carbonation.
S: balanced - a "breezy" aroma mixed of honey drink, lychee fruits, other slightly sharp tropical fruits, a flowery scent of Cascade-like US hops springs to mind, set against an enticing bedrock of light biscuity and faintly caramely malts. As the beer warms up a bit, a semi-sharp touch of pineapples also comes forward, witnessing the work of yeastiness.
T: sweet honey-ish, grapefruity and lychee-shell-like flavours upfront precede a lightly tannic, leafy hop bitterness and residual citric sourness; settling to a lightly chewy finish with lingering biscuity elements of pale malts, while hop bitterness stays loyally at the end of the tasting, transcending a little piney scent as well.
M&D: unfortunately, it's pretty thin on the body and the semi-spritzy fizziness comes not as soft and natural as a bottle-conditioned ale, but perhaps it's designed as such (light) to be quaffable and the overall mouthfeel is clean enough indeed. Not as deep and complex as the FD Snake Dog IPA tasted alongside, but overall an easy-drinking example all the same.

Presentation: Very attractive label in the Harpoon tradition with really nice colors and graphics. Front label states "Love beer, Love Life" and gives a bit of brewery info. Back label pay homage to the 20th Anniversary of Harpoon IPA. Neck label gives a short description of the beer as well as paying homage to the 20th Anniversary of the IPA. Enjoy by 12.15.13 printed on the bottle.
Appearance: An aggressive pour from its 12oz brown bottle into a 16oz Imperial Pint led to a 3 finger white head of medium density resting atop a clear golden yellow amber colored beer. Head retention was 4min before fading to a thin coating and ring.
Smell/Aroma: Smells of citrus hops with slight hints of floral tones and a nice malt back bone.
Flavor/Taste: Taste is of citrus hops on the front end with a slightly floral hop midpoint and a bitter resin hop back end and finish all resting upon a toasty bready malt backbone. Hops seem very light and not overpowering.
MouthFeel/Drinkability: Medium bodied with an above average amount of carbonation that leads to a smooth slightly crisp mouthfeel. Highly drinkable. 4/5
Overall/Comments: A very good IPA that doesn't wow you but does a good job representing the style. Solid and drinkable. Classified as an American IPA @ 5.9% ABV. Consumed 10/19/2013.

Nice clear golden color with a white spotty head that sticks in spots on the glass. The smell is pine bitterness with little malt present. The taste is not as bitter as the smell with slight caramal honey pale malt that leads into the piney flower bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium. Not really a hoppy tasteing ipa like the smell would make you think. I do like this very good.

A-It pours a medium dark amber color with light clingy head. Looks great in a curvy glass!
S-Smells lightly floral kind of mild for an IPA in my opinion.
T-Tastes on the light floral side with light carbonation and little bite.
M-Very light, easy going with low bitterness.
O-What a great drinking IPA for a session! Easy to drink with a tad more ABV than most of the lighter IPAs so I guess that's why I like it so much. I only tried it after checking this site and decided to become a member to review it as my first beer because of other people's reviews! I highly recommend it even though I may not be a beer expert but believe that I have had my share to be a source of information.

Poured into a Dogfish signature snifter. Bottleneck says Enjoy By: 12/15/13.
A- Pours a clean medium amber color with a 1/2 inch off-white head that retains well before becoming a thick ring around the edge of the glass and a mostly full sheet of surface foam. Semi-resilient lacing leaves a thick ring behind on the glass.
S- Unique hop aroma that's spicy and a bit earthy. A little bit of alcohol comes into play as the malts play off the zesty (but not citrusy) hops.
T- Very balanced for an IPA as the bitterness is very tame and the malt creates a nice balance making for a high drinkability. The hops that are there are pretty earthy and the malt is lightly toasty.
M- Moist and a tad oily. Medium carbonation and a body leaning toward the lighter side.
O- This was the first IPA I had (besides DFH's 60 and 90) where I realized "Hey, I like IPAs." Not very surprising since it's such a subtle version of the style. Recommended for people who aren't that into hops but would like some bitterness in their beer.

Poured from the bottle into a Dogfish Head Ale glass. Best before Dec 15th 2013.
A truly great looking beer out of the bottle. Soapy sudsy and and even big tall three finger head, that clumps and stays forever. Virtually all the bubbles are uniform, and it sits on a great crystal clear copper amber body, with really nice flowing carbonation..
Nose is interesting, a little pine, some woody tones kind of a juicy citrus orange angle a bit. Not getting the suggested floral senses the bottle mentions. Some nice small cinnamon warmth and carmel too. This is actually quite good, this feels really promising.
Palate sort of lets down. Geez what happened? Slightly wet caramel body, and wood malts combine on first sip. Thin palate gives a slight earthy finish but doesn't last. Bitterness and sweetness is nowhere to be found, perhaps a hinting herbality somewhat but really struggling to find a flavor profile on here.
This isn't an old IPA, but this really seemed to start off with such promise. This is a letdown unfortunately for me.

On tap at Bertucci's Italian Restaurant in Marlborough, MA.
A: Kind of a dark orange color with a finger of white head.
S: Hoppy with a citrus smell as well. Kind of sweet.
T: Not very bitter. Very mild hop flavor. A lot of citrus in there.
M: Has a good crisp feel. Not the usual bite I get from an IPA.
O: Definitely not my favorite IPA but not bad. Seems like this is the only IPA on tap around this area of MA. I would say that this beer is very average.

Monthly Value Gaming System Buyer's Guide
PC Buyer's Guide for Entry-Level Gaming -- April 2012By Housen Maratouk April 2, 2012
A companion to our Enthusiast Gaming PC Buyer's Guide, our Entry-Level Gaming PC Guide has a lower $900 budget and aims to show that you can still build a perfectly capable system for less than a thousand dollars. This Entry-Level Gaming Guide offers processor and motherboard suggestions for both an Intel and AMD system, though the other components will mostly remain the same.
And while even more compromises will need to be made when working with a $900 budget than had to be made with our Enthusiast system, you'll still end up with plenty of power to get some work — and some gaming — done.
System Case: Antec Three Hundred Black Mid Tower Case (NEW Recommendation)
For this edition we decided to go with the Antec Three Hundred Mid Tower case. While it may not be the flashiest looking case available, it's a solid choice that's hard to beat for the money. This case measures 8.1" (W) x 18" (H) x 18.3" (D) and comes with two fans pre-installed (one 120mm in the rear and one 140mm on the top). If you want more cooling than that, you can add up to two optional 120mm fans in the front and one on the side.
Power Supply: Antec Basic BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified
The Antec BP550 Plus is an 80 PLUS Certified 550w power supply that once again remains our power supply of choice for our budget system. With its module cable design and three +12v rails, the Antec BP550 Plus offers plenty of power and convenience for the price.
AMD CPU and Cooling: AMD FX-6100 (3.3GHz) w/ Bundled Cooling
The AMD FX-6100 is still our choice for a processor in the AMD build. This AM3+ socket processor comes with 8MB of L3 cache and 1MB of L2 cache dedicated to each of its six cores, and those who wish to boost their performance by overclocking should have little to no difficulty in doing so.

About Brand New
Brand New is a punk-emo-alternative band based in Long Island, New York. They are comprised of lead singer/guitarist Jesse Lacey, lead guitarist Vincent Accradi, bassist Garrett Tierney, drummer Brian Lane, and rhythm guitarist/keyboardist Derrick Sherman.
In the late 1990's Lacey, Tierney, and Lane played in a band called "The Rookie Lot." The band eventually broke up but the three soon found themselves back together playing music. In 2000, the trio decided to form a new band and asked Accardi to join them. Sherman would join the fray in 2005.
Brand New released its first studio album, Your Favorite Weapon, on Oct. 9, 2001. The album sold only 50,000 copies but its single, "Jude Law and a Semester Abroad," received significant airplay on MTV.

RENO — On a recent Friday right before lunch, Westergard Elementary fifth grade teacher Monica Ehlen was solving a math problem for her students. When she turned back to face the classroom, it was clear one of her students was in distress.
"I turned around to see my student standing up, kneeling over and he's absolutely choking. He's panicking, pointing to his neck he can't breathe," Ehlen said. "He's trying to gag and it won't come out. Naturally, I panic."
Ehlen said a fruit snack had lodged in her student's throat. She administered the Heimlich maneuver, but it didn't take the first time.
"In just a matter of seconds it feels like five minutes had gone by and I checked him again," she said. "He's still gagging and nothing is coming up. The fruit snack, which was about the size of a gum drop, had completely blocked his airway. As I began the Heimlich maneuver again, I thought to myself, 'This time I'm going to have to try a little harder,' so I tried it again and it just popped out. It felt like I was moving in slow motion in a movie."
Ehlen said the other students knew their classmate was choking, which made it even more stressful. The principal of Westergard, William Chronister, said Ehlen's heroic actions and calm demeanor guided her through the incident.
"She was a little shaken but stepped up when it came time to act," he said. "It was fantastic that she maintained her composure and helped this student who clearly was in an emergency situation."
Ehlen said she is not a hero, just a teacher who did what any human being would do.
"It was just a natural reaction," she said. "Of course I am going to save my student."
It wasn't until after school, however, that what occurred that day really hit her. She returned from her crossing duty to see flowers and a card sitting on her desk. The card read, "Thank you for saving my life."
"As soon as I read that card, I just started crying," she said. "It was the best card I've ever received from a student."
SSHS student raises funds for leadership excursion
SPARKS — Spanish Springs High School sophomore Jonathan Medina Sotelo has been selected to represent northern Nevada at the 2011 National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C., this summer and is raising funds for the trip.
Sotelo must raise $3,380 in sponsorships for the tuition and between $200 and $500 for travel costs. He is asking for help from the community.
"Imagine if you had been given this opportunity for a life-changing experience when you were unable to participate for lack of funds," Sotelo wrote in a letter to potential sponsors. "With the economy still on the mend, not all families have money set aside for things such as this, and this is why I am writing you today."
Attending the conference will allow Sotelo to learn about politics firsthand.
"(It will) enable me to attend their exemplary educational program, furthering my education and reach my goals of bringing about revival in our communities, giving the proletariat, the common man, a place in politics again," Sotelo said.
Anyone interested in sponsoring Sotelo can call him at 313-8853.
Eight WCSD National Merit finalists named
RENO — Eight Washoe County high school students are in the running to become National Merit Scholar Program winners this spring, competing for a chance to earn one of more than 8,000 scholarships worth more than $36 million combined.
This year's finalists are Danielle Geerling and Mary Stachofsky from Galena High; Illeah Kirchoff from TMCC High; Lisa Bryant and Alexandra Vallas from Reno High; Steven M. Stozza and Michelle M. Duggan from Spanish Springs High; and Brin Smith from Wooster High.
"We are extremely proud of each one of these students," Superintendent Heath Morrison said. "The journey to become a National Merit Scholar starts long before graduation and requires years of commitment. Being named a National Merit finalist is a true testament to their dedication in the classroom and in the community. I am looking forward to shaking each one of their hands when they walk across the graduation stage in May."
Students who participate in the National Merit Scholarship Program take the PSAT no later than their junior years, must be enrolled as a high school student, plan to enroll full-time in college during the fall after they complete high school and be a U.S. citizen. The program eventually selects the semifinalists and contacts them in early September. Finalists are named and notified in February. Winners are chosen based on their abilities and accomplishments.
These eight students were pared down to the final round from approximately 15,000 students. Merit scholar winners will be selected based on their skills, accomplishments and potential for success in challenging college courses.
"It's wonderful to have Washoe County School District represented by such amazing students," said WCSD board President Barbara McLaury. "We always seek to challenge our students, help them thrive and inspire them to achieve their best. I wish these students the best of luck for the final round."

Individual Scholarship
Walter Farber
Walter Farber continued to work on his major project, the Lamashtu text edition. In addition, he finished two sizeable festschrift articles on some Old Akkadian and Old Babylonian texts from collections in Germany (one of them co-authored with Gertrud Farber), as well as a number of shorter notes and book reviews. Work in progress includes one more festschrift contribution (they seem to never end) and the publication of more tablets from smaller German collections. While preparing these manuscripts, he continued to refine his technique of using a computer scan to produce first-rate printable copies of cuneiform texts directly from the pencil originals.
On a non-Assyriological note, Walter was invited to contribute to the German-American Salon at the World Exposition of Philately, IBRA, in Nuremberg/Germany, where he exhibited material from his collection of German post-World War II postal history. He also co-authored a small book on the military and postal history of the Luxembourg occupation of an area of Germany after World War II, an episode not well known even among German historians of the time. This was published in Germany in the spring.

Conservation and Restoration
The Institute for Conservation and Restoration operates at the interface of various scientific and artistic disciplines. Its activities are aimed at accomplishing the complex task of preserving artworks and cultural assets for future generations in a condition corresponding as far as possible to the original or an authentic state to counteract their decay through aging processes or inadvertent damage. This objective ensures the future influence of artistic manifestations and the preservation of cultural heritage for posterity.
Students learn to proceed responsibly on all levels: perception, description, and research for understanding a work's historical and artistic significance, its documentation, and its interpretation based on a materials science analysis constitute the foundation for interventions and strategies of conservation in such diverse fields as painting/sculpture, murals/architectural surfaces, moveable and immovable wooden objects, as well as musical instruments and papers/books/archival materials.
The conservation - restoration of modern and contemporary art is a subject of its own: students learn to cope with the manifold challenges one is confronted with when dealing with contemporary art productions and concerning oneself with their preservation. The expansion of approaches beyond the specifics of traditional media and techniques ranges from issues of ephemeral art, installations, and performances to time-based media and requires non the least intense communication with the artists. The curriculum includes conservation commissions and research activities carried out in cooperation with public and private clients.

501 Meadowmont Village Cir, Chapel Hill, NC | Directions 2751435.846401 -79.016001
Mon-Sat 11am-1am;
Sun 11am-11pm
Had to wait way too long! – I usually come to Brixx and have always had great meals, yet recently something has happened to their staff or their management? I was surprised by the long wait ...and I mean LONG wait I and my Sister had last week. I will admit I didn't say anything, because I didn't want to be rude, but I doubt I'll be back for awhile. Hopefully this was a one time incident. Otherwise, great food.
Great Pizza place – I always crave this pizza, and I'm from Chicago, so I always go here at least 3x when I visit my sister here in Chapel Hill. I highly recommend it. My favorite is the Quattro Fromaggio and the BBQ Pizza. They also have interesting selections such as Gorgonzola Peach pizza. Lots of good choices, huge selection of beer, etc.
RE: Not all worth the trip – A friend of mines gave me his pasta and this dude can eat, so it was so strange that he'll give it to me, especially since he likes to eat! When I'd ask him if the dish was good he said yes it was, so I ate it just because it was given to me. What a waste of my time. The pasta was supposed to have some cream sauce on it, but it was as dried up as the basil tomatoes in it. I love all kinds of pastas and once a place makes an impression on me, if the place is far I make it my business to visit the place at least once a year, but not with this restaurant.
Great concept, terrible pizza – I don't mind thin crust pizza and I like all kinds of toppings. I could never eat inside because the place is SO loud (only did takeout). Tiny pizza and expensive, but I figured if it was a gourmet pizza, that's what I could expect. The problem? For a brick oven pizza, the pizza was TERRIBLE. The bottom was barely cooked and the top was almost overcooked. Because it is a thin crust, having the bottom be undercooked made the thing flop right over on itself. Despite the toppings, the taste was bland. I grew up with brick oven pizza and I've never had brick oven pizza as bad as this. Brick oven pizza tends to have a really robust taste because of the cooking style - I have no idea how they accomplished to have such a tasteless pizza! There's another poster who said that the two worst pizza places are Mammoth and Brixx and I couldn't agree more. Maybe many of these ratings are from people who have never tasted a real pizza and think Elios frozen pizza is a delicacy. If you want real brick oven pizza, avoid this place.
great specialty pizzas – Maybe I'm biased because my wife and I had our first date at the Brixx in Chapel Hill, but I've got to take issue with the angry reviewer below. I find the pizzas excellent. I'm from Chicago and worked in a great pizza place during college - it's not the thick-crust pizza pie I grew up on but the crust is very crisp and tasty and they have a wide choice of toppings and specialty pizzas. They have soy-based cheese & one day I ordered half-and-half regular and soy cheese to compare. I had a hard time telling which was which. My wife orders their salads frequently and she loves them. Sure, you're going to pay a bit more, but if you want cheap pizza there's always Domino's (gack).
The only problem I have is with the Briar Creek store. There is no sound-absorbing material in the celing and with a big, noisy crowd you can't even hear yourself think, much less have a conversation at the table. If they hung acoustic panels it would be a great restaurant, but otherwise I would only recommend going during off hours.
worst pizza in the triangle – the one i'm talking about is the location in brier creek, because they would not allow me to post any comments about it because the place sux so bad....... mannnnnn........ where can i start......... as soon as i walked in it felt like they put a gun to my head b/c i couldn't get out..... it looked good from the outside but terrible once you enter....as soon as i walked in and saw a menu i was like wat the f...ing is this sh...t. who has a menu at a pizza place? the pizzas were the size of the palm of my freaking hand!!!!! the pizza itself was sooo ugly that they had to cover it up with some lettuce. the pizza was freaking cold and you have to wait atleast a half an hour!!!!!!!!!!!!! the pizza is worst than my punctuation and grammer!!!!!! what else can i say.... man there were more employees in there than customers. they weren't doing anything... they just walked around and watched people eat there food and laughed at them... they have no souls.... bastards!!!!!! dont leave a tip b/c the waitresses were unfriendly!!! they dont even give you a full cup of water!!!! bastards!!!!!!! i would give it no stars if possible........ worst experience of my life... they should close down after this review... they charge more than the pizza is worth.. the pizza was sooo thin and burnt!!!! it taste like paper.. my friend got this wild mushroom pizza and he said it was unetible... it made him sick to his stomach.... i blame him for taking us there.... there is this chinese guy that works there, he looked awful and creepy. he was starring at us while we ate our food and made us feel uncomfortable........ i felt creept out.... they had this big oven and such little pizza, it was a waste of an oven... they were rushing us to order and forcing us to get the apetizer that wasn't ever free..... also everything on the pizza is vegi..... wheres the chicken!!!!!!!!!!!!!! let me conclude my analysis of a resturant that deserves no praise or recommendation!!!!!!!!!!!
Where are the customers? – I've gone to Brixx about a half a dozen times in 2005 and 2006. No matter what day of the week I went, there was always a wait. For my first time in 2007, since it was a Saturday, I suggested that we get there early. Around 5:45, there were only a few tables open and not many more when we left. What kind of restaurant is only 1/4 filled up on a Saturday night? It was a hot, summer night but the restaurant has AC.
But the food did not dissapoint. I had the spicy shrimp pizza which was delicious and my companion had a chicken one which she liked. We split a Brixx salad which was good but not as good as I remember. Both of us had pizza left over. As pizza goes, the place can be expensive (an individual pizza is $8-9 while you can usually pay only a few dollars more at other pizza places to get one shared by 2-3 people). But I do recommend this place.
Must have pizza ... and beer. – I frequent Brixx on a regular basis. The parking is limited but public transit is very close if you live in Chapel Hill. The service is very good and friendly, even when crowded. The food is very good. The pizza is made fresh and wood-fired for great thin crust crunch. I would recommend you try their special pizza of the day and their soup is always excllent. Salads are okay but nothing special or huge. Dessert is outstanding and portion size for the price is wonderful.
Oh, i didn't mention the other part, the beer. Brixx has a nice MBA program for frequent testers to try all types of beer they offer. I especially like Thursday when you can get imports for $2.50 instead of the regular $3.75. I highly recommend the Arcobrau Dark Lager. Now if you usually pass on dark beer, you'll like the light taste of this lager. A must!
Brixx is great. Give it a try. Expect to pay around $9 for a pizza, $5 for a dessert, and $3.50 for a beer.
Where crispy, thin pizzas and a robust beer selection dominate the cozy Chapel Hill scene. – In Short
Brixx is a frolicking emporium rich in color, smoke and beer. An industrial atmosphere greets you as soon as you step inside; large air conditioning vents snake and hover over the dining room as if to spurt out little pizzas of their own. Brixx's pizzas are wood-oven crisp, with an almost cracker-like crust. The Rustica pizza is robust with prosciutto, mushrooms, artichokes and roasted garlic. Tiramisu is generously layered, creamy, and spirited with espresso.
A Great Place for Takeout Pizza – The Bronx Bomber and Wild Mushroom pizzas are tasty and thin--you won't gain too many calories eating those babies. Check the Brixx Website for dollars-off coupons, for free salads. The in-store atmosphere is noisy, but the takeout scene is delightful. Enjoy!

National Trails Day this Saturday- Fun Family Event for all Ages
Join the trails department and the Friends of Tahoe Donner Trails Club for a hiking tour of the McGlashan Springs and Bucknam Tract properties. This tour, of some of the most beautiful and historical areas in Tahoe Donner, will begin at 10 a.m. this Sat. (June 1) at the Bermgarten cul-de-sac just off Skislope Way. A map is available here.
The main hike will follow the jogging-stroller friendly dirt road. There will be frequent stops to look at the area's hidden and lesser known gems, and to discuss the plans for developing trails in those areas, including the Donner Lake Rim Trail.
At the end of the dirt road, the hike will split into two groups. All those wishing to remain on the main road will head back to Bermgarten with Annie Rosenfeld, director of facilities and risk management, and all those wishing to go further will continue on an extended tour with Benjamin Levine from the Friends of Tahoe Donner Trails club. The extended tour will include some off-trail hiking, but most of it will be on rough bootleg trails.
The first portion of the extended hike will cross over onto the Bucknam Tract on a course that approximates one possible route for the Donner Lake Rim Trail. From there the hike will continue to a spectacular Donner Lake overlook via another bootleg trail across Forest Service land. Finally the hike will conclude by going off-trail again to see the McGlashan Springs themselves.
Approximate distance for Annie's hike is 1.5 miles, while Benjamin's extended hike is about 3.5 miles. Dogs on leash are welcome on both hikes.
For more information please contact the Friends of Tahoe Donner Trails Club at email@example.com.

Schurrle bags brace
Bayer Leverkusen moved a step closer to securing Champions League football next season by demolishing Hoffenheim, leaving the visitors in serious trouble at the bottom of the Bundesliga table.
Stefan Kiessling and Andre Schurrle scored two goals each for Leverkusen, with Stefan Reinartz adding a fifth.
Simon Rolfes also saw a penalty saved after Eugen Polanski was shown a red card for the visitors, who remained six points adrift of safety with just four games of the season remaining.
Kiessling volleyed Leverkusen in front in the 16th minute, sending an unstoppable shot into the top-left corner from Schurrle's pull-back.
The Germany forward caused problems again five minutes area with only a foul by Polanski preventing him from making it two.
The Hoffenheim midfielder saw red with Rolfes stepping up to take the consequent penalty, but Koen Casteels guessed right to deny him.
It was only a brief respite for the visitors, who went two behind soon after when Schurrle finished well for his 10th goal of the season.
It was a similar story in the second half with Kiessling and Schurrle both on target again.
Kiessling's 21st goal of the campaign arrived with a header from Daniel Carvajal's cross in the 65th minute and Schurrle then converted Kadlec's pass to make it four less than five minutes later.
Hoffenheim simply could not compete and Casteels had to fish the ball out of the back of his net again in the 79th minute.
He initially denied Arkadiusz Milik, who then hit the post before the ball fell for Reinartz to make it five and give Leverkusen a seven-point advantage over fourth-placed Schalke.

Tests For Disease Prevention & Early Detection
Being a woman today often means keeping track of schedules and deadlines. With so much to do, and so little time to do it, we often bypass our own needs to attend to the needs of others in our lives. Honoring ourselves and being vigilant about our health is central to being able to fulfill our responsibilities, strengthen our relationships, serve our communities and achieve our personal goals and life's mission. Getting regular checkups, preventive screening tests and immunizations are among the most important things we can do for ourselves in our quest to stay healthy. In honor of Women's Health Care Month, we present you with 12 health screenings every woman needs. Depending on your personal risk factors and family medical history, your primary care physician (PCP) may recommend additional or more frequent screenings.
Clinical breast exam (CBE)
A CBE is a simple physical exam performed by a trained health professional to identify changes and abnormalities in the breast. Susan G. Komen for the Cure recommends that all women, beginning at age 20, should get a CBE every three years, then every year after age 40. Women should make this part of their yearly physical.
Breast lumps: Symptoms, treatment and prevention >>
Although there has been some recent debate concerning screening guidelines for women, breast cancer organizations such as Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute all recommend that beginning at age 40, all women "of average risk" should get a mammogram every one to two years. Some women with a family history of cancer and increased risk for developing breast cancer might need to start even earlier. Women should speak with their doctor or health care provider about their risk, and when and what screening is best for them.
Breast cancer screening confusion and controversy >>
To protect against heart disease and other chronic illnesses, it's important to monitor your cholesterol levels. Women should have their cholesterol checked at least every five years starting at about age 20. This can be done through a simple blood test either at your doctor's office, a lab with your doctor's orders or through a community health screening event. The ideal level is below 200 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) for total cholesterol.
What your cholesterol test isn't telling you >>
Blood Pressure
Starting at age 18, every woman needs her blood pressure checked every two years. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is often called the "silent killer," because if unchecked, it can lead to heart attack and stroke. Ideal blood pressure for women is less than 120/80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury). You should have your blood pressure checked as part of a yearly physical. You can also monitor your blood pressure away from the doctor's office, too. Many pharmacies and grocery stores now have blood pressure monitoring machines, and local screenings may also be available in your local community through health fairs and community health events.
Signs of high blood pressure and treatment options >>
Blood Glucose
Women should get a blood glucose test every three years starting at age 45 to test for diabetes or pre-diabetes. Before age 45, you may need to have your blood glucose levels tested if you have symptoms of diabetes or several risk factors. Your blood sample can be taken and tested at your doctor's office or a lab. The range of normal test results can vary, but generally a test result of 100 mg/dL or higher indicates pre-diabetes or diabetes.
Diet tips to prevent Type 2 diabetes >>
Body Mass Index
Body weight is only half the story in terms of determining excess weight or obesity. Body mass index (BMI) is a more accurate measurement and calculates body fat based on your height and weight. The higher the BMI the more at-risk you are for developing certain conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. A BMI of less than 25 and a waist circumference below 35 inches is desirable for overall health.

Brett Favre's retirement makes more sense when you realistically consider the Packers' chances in 2008. Maybe the ghost of Christmas future - played by John Madden - visited Favre Monday night and showed him a 9-7 wild-card season and a quick exit from the playoffs. Favre, who already holds all the key career records, would have had nothing to gain by coming back for that.
You hear a lot about the young talent around Favre, but the Packers were bound to take a step back from last year's 13-3 record. The NFL schedule gods, who are clearly big Favre fans, handed Green Bay a huge assist last season. Consider:
1. They faced the weakest division in the AFC, the AFC West, and went 4-0 in those games.
2. They caught the Eagles in Week 1 when Donovan McNabb was still gimpy and couldn't throw within 12 yards of one of his receivers.
3. They visited the Giants in Week 2 before that defense understood new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's system.
4. They had the Rams on their schedule.
Next season the Packers face brutal AFC South, with Jacksonville and Tennessee on the road, and Houston and Indy at home. That's three losses.
They also visit the Bucs, Saints and Seahawks and host the Cowboys. That's at least two more losses.
That brings us top the NFC North. The schizophrenic Bears either go 13-3 or suffer about 20 injuries and go 5-11. Chicago put a 35-7 beat-down on the Packers in Week 16 and could be back this season. The Vikings have a great offensive line and quarterback Tarvaris Jackson will have a little more experience. And the Lions can't play any worse against Green Bay than they did last year.
The Packers were likely to end up between 7-9 and 10-6 if Favre had returned. A return to the NFC Championship game would have been tough and a trip to the Super Bowl was a longshot. If Favre had decided to leave after next season, he would have had a good chance of going out on a sour note.
Without Favre, I'd be very surprised if the Packers reached the postseason. Aaron Rodgers may end up being an adequate NFL quarterback, but with a non-divisional schedule that includes six playoff teams from '07, Green Bay will have little margin for error and can't afford any growing pains in '08.

If you had to sum up the defending Super Bowl champion Ravens in one word as they head into training camp next week, I think we all know what that word would be.
Not bad boring. Not the kind of boring that means there's no reason to pay attention, of course. Certainly not the snooze-because-you-always-lose kind of boring that will infect some of the training camps at the other end of the NFL pecking order.
No, we're talking about the kind of uneventful, controversy-free boring that allows coach John Harbaugh to go to bed every night with a beatific smile on his face. He probably knocks on the bedside table just in case, but the Ravens will begin reporting to The Castle next Sunday with few distractions and fewer pressing questions about the makeup and outlook of the team than they've had in a very long time.
This should go down as one of the bigger upsets of the offseason when you consider that — just a few months ago — the Ravens were dealing with more manufactured drama than an entire season of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
They had abandonment issues involving their two most storied players. Ray Lewis retired after being the emotional leader of the franchise for most of its history in Baltimore and fellow slam-dunk Hall of Famer Ed Reed jumped ship to sign as a free agent with the Houston Texans.
They had contract intrigue. Joe Flacco and team officials waited until after he led the Ravens to the Lombardi Trophy to get serious about the long-term deal that temporarily made him the highest-paid quarterback in the league.
They had the equivalent of several high-profile divorces, cutting loose go-to receiver Anquan Boldin, hard-hitting safety Bernard Pollard and rough-and-tumble fullback Vonta Leach to gain salary cap room, and losing Dannell Ellerbe, Paul Kruger and Cary Williams to free agency.
Throw in the Rolando McClain situation and the controversy over the regular season opener and, really, the only things missing in the reality drama department were the creepy stage mother and the former Olympic decathlete with the curious resemblance to Joan Rivers.
It's pretty amazing to look at where the Ravens were during the frenetic aftermath of the Super Bowl and look at the team that will go through its first full workout 10 days from now. The angst that accompanied all those comings and goings has been replaced by the peaceful easy feeling that everything is now as it should be.
Flacco is going to be around for the foreseeable future. Ozzie Newsome worked his usual offseason magic and stole top-notch pass rusher Elvis Dumervil from the Denver Broncos. And the front office completed a surprisingly comprehensive retooling of the defense with several other free agents and a solid draft class that features safety Matt Elam, linebacker Arthur Brown and defensive tackle Brandon Williams.
The past couple of years, the Ravens have had to sweat out Monday's deadline for signing franchised players to long-term deals before getting deals done with defensive tackle Haloti Ngata and running back Ray Rice. This year, they didn't even have to use the franchise tag.
Everything has fallen into place so well that Harbaugh might consider changing the team's catch phrases from "W.I.N." and "The team, the team, the team" to something a little more in keeping with this new distraction-free environment.
"Serenity Now!"
You think Bill Belichick wouldn't like to change places with Harbaugh right now? To the New England Patriots fans who suffered through the recent exodus of Tom Brady's top receivers and will spend this season under the cloud of the pending Aaron Hernandez murder trial, the Under Armour Performance Center must look like the happiest place on earth.
The Broncos, another of the Ravens' top AFC rivals, are still smarting from the fax snafu that led to Dumervil's departure and the recent DUI arrests of a pair of John Elway's top front office lieutenants.
Though the Ravens flirted with a legal entanglement when they signed talented-but-troubled free agent linebacker McClain in early April, he retired so soon after his third arrest in 17 months that it was almost like he was never here.
It has been a disturbing offseason all around the NFL, with 30 players arrested since the start of 2013 and no end in sight to the horrible Hernandez scandal, but all appears to be well in Owings Mills as the Ravens prepare to begin a new season with a number of new faces.
There will be a lot of national attention focused on them during training camp because of their status as defending Super Bowl champions, and if that's the only reason they show up on ESPN's SportsCenter this summer, Harbaugh will be a very happy head coach.
He wants the Ravens to bore you all the way to another Super Bowl.

LETTER FROM TEHRAN about the role of women in the demonstrations against the regime of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The story of women's rights in Iran is one of advances and setbacks, stretching back to the start of the twentieth century, when a national women's movement first took shape. Writer notes how few women participated in Iran's Constitutional Revolution of 1906 and the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and the triumphant presence of women in the demonstrations following the elections this summer. After the 1979 Revolution, many women's rights were taken away, and strict clothing laws were enforced. Today, the Islamic Republic's gender laws are among the harshest in the world. Writer visits an artist friend named Negin, who was beaten up on the day of Ahmadinejad's second inauguration. (Negin's name, and others in the piece, have been changed.) Negin was born into a traditional family. Her mother is a strong supporter of the Islamic Republic. Negin relates how she came to be beaten by police during a demonstration on August 5th. Because it was well known that security forces had officers in the hospital who arrested anyone whose injuries were consistent with a truncheon blow, Negin's sister phoned a doctor she knew. During last summer's demonstrations, female protesters were harassed by Basijis, and sexually threatened. Mentions the show-trial of reformists including high-ranking supporters of two of the defeated candidates, Mir-Hossein Moussavi and Mehdi Karroubi. For many Iranians, the show trial and the reports of brutality, even more than the original suspicions of electoral fraud, have stripped away the aura of piety that has surrounded the Islamic Republic for thirty years. Writer visits a translator named Shahrzad. She had participated in the protests of 1978-79 and had been angry when it became clear that the Islamic Republic would discriminate against women. A particular challenge for women's-rights activists in Iran has been to counter the government's depiction of their movement as a vehicle for sexual anarchy and "moral corruption." Shahrzad tells the writer about the tightening of censorship in Iran and describes her experiences during the recent protests. Writer tells about a visit from Negin, who relates that her mother now turns away whenever she sees the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on television and says, "Enough of the lies." As Iran enters a new phase of uncertainty, and international powers wrangle over its nuclear program, Iranians are keenly aware that their country has changed. Even traditional people like Negin's mother are revising their loyalties. And the middle tier of Iranian society has become urgently politicized-activists whose goal, an end to tyranny, is now clear. Half of that tier is women.

MCC launches Myanmar cyclone appeal
May 7, 2008
AKRON, Pa. – Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is appealing for financial contributions to support relief and recovery efforts in Myanmar, also known as Burma, following a catastrophic cyclone in the southeast Asian nation.
Cyclone Nargis made landfall on May 2 and devastated southern Myanmar's delta region. According to news reports, the cyclone drove a wall of water over coastal communities before many residents could escape. The U.S. government estimates that the death toll could reach 100,000.
MCC is committing an initial $100,000 to cyclone relief and recovery efforts. While MCC does not currently have workers or programs in Myanmar, MCC will support the work of partner organizations that are already active in the country.
MCC is in discussions with partner organizations about how best to support their relief work. Some potential partner organizations are already responding by providing cyclone survivors with water purification tablets, food, tarpaulins, blankets and other supplies, according to Tom Wenger, MCC's associate director for Asia.
Wenger notes that Myanmar will need long-term assistance to recover from the cyclone's devastation. While the full magnitude of the disaster has yet to emerge, the cyclone reportedly caused widespread destruction in Myanmar's main rice-growing region, endangering the country's food supplies.
"For many of these rural families, three quarters of their income goes toward purchasing food," Wenger said. "So, they were already vulnerable economically, even before the cyclone hit."
Wenger visited Myanmar in April, less than a month before the cyclone made landfall. He said that Myanmar is a predominantly agricultural nation that is less connected to the West, politically and economically, than many other parts of Asia. Buddhism is the predominant religion, but there are active Christian and Muslim minorities.
Wenger said that the cyclone may provide the opportunity for MCC to be more involved in Myanmar in the future.
"This may be the moment when Burma will open up," he said.

I worked at DynaVox
Pros – The best reason to work at DynaVox is the customers. Great to feel good about delivering the products into the customers that need it.
The people actually doing the work at DynaVox are what make the place tolerable.
Cons – The senior executives are clearly living in their own world. They are rarely in the office and when they are they are behind closed doors with each other.
Your safety in the organization is only safe if you stay on the good side of the top executives.
Advice to Senior Management – Make it into the office or the field with sales reps once in a while. Learn what it takes to do the different jobs and stop changing around the organization so much.
Take a look outside of the existing product offerings and get competitive. Why buy an expensive device if an iPad and some software can meet my needs?

This is so exciting! <3 Thank you, thank you, thank you!
So amazed at how comfy these are and how well they fit! So glad I bought these. I'm 5'9" and I bought my usual size medium. Length is perfect!
It's my first glow in the dark purchase from Threadless. I wore it all day during a trip to Newfoundland in anticipation of a night hike/bonfire with friends and it didn't glow at all. Regular sunlight just doesn't seem to cut it. Later on, I soaked the shirt under a hot lamp for a few hours and it glowed. I guess I got a misprint or something. shrug I still love the design!

Women never want to sleep with a guy who acts like that.
I think baldies still have a chance at a love life and getting laid, but it really destroys your chances in the bar scene. But what I'm saying is, don't lose hope, but also dont bank on meeting anyone in bars for a 1 night stand.

I hate the idea of going out on the pull. Whenever I've hit it off with a girl early on in the night, spending the whole night at the bar with her instead of my mates is so boring. You get so many nobheads who actually plan to go out on the pull; I'd rather have a laugh with my mates, get some food, get a taxi home, have a wank and go to bed.

RIDGWAY – A nine-person team from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs took a two-day whirlwind tour of Ridgway last week and came up with a slew of recommendations to help the town revitalize its downtown.
"Ridgway needs a brand," said designer John Metcalf, one of the professionals in the Main Street Community program. "Your brand is what you are to your consumer, and why you are unique," he said during a presentation of findings Tuesday, Sept. 25. "Austin [Texas] has 'Keep Austin Weird.' Grand Junction has 'Colorado Wine Country.'"
Ridgway Area Chamber of Commerce V.P. Brian Scranton pointed out that Ridgway had previously tried "Gateway to the San Juans." "But I've always seen a gateway as a place you go through."
Metcalf agreed, and suggested, "just as a sample: 'Ridgway: Look Around.' The messaging needs to hit your local market and your visitors, each a little differently."
DOLA Main Street Program Coordinator Stephanie Troller told the audience at Town Hall, "It was easy to fall in love with Ridgway. You guys have a lot going on."
She said Ridgway is one of seven "candidate communities" for Main Street Program status, along with Montrose, Fruita, Rifle, Victor, Westcliffe and Silver Cliff. There are also seven "graduate" Main Street Communities: Lake City, Lamar, Brush, Berthoud, Arvada, Granby and Steamboat Springs, all of which got started in 2011.
Last year, Troller said, Main Street districts statewide saw nearly $3 million in infrastructure investment; $8 million in private real estate transactions; 32 new businesses were created, generating 104 new full-time and 89 new part-time jobs.
"The [Main Street] process was both intensive and comprehensive," said RACC's Scranton after the visit. "The team managed, in less than two days, to speak with nearly every stakeholder group and come back to us with a preliminary plan. That's pretty impressive!"
On Monday, the group held listening sessions with representatives of the business community, including RACC, with residents, the Creative District and arts community, with elected officials, the Streetscape committee, and so on. They took walking tours of downtown, took photographs, did more listening.
Then on Tuesday afternoon, the group, which included architects, designers, arts and economic consultants, rolled out the Power Point with its preliminary findings. A formal report will come in about a month, with continued technical and "mini-grant" help from DOLA. "We'll have more defined recommendations then," Troller said, "and we'll come back to help with goal setting."
Highlights of the Power Point included ideas from Kathy Dirks, of Downtown Grand Junction Partnership about how Ridgway could enhance its shoulder season business with "writers' workshops, fall watercolor classes, culinary classes, beer brewing workshops," etc. She mentioned a successful program in Steamboat Springs called "Sisters in Steamboat," which includes spa sessions and other opportunities specifically for wives of destination hunters.
Jon Schler, an architect and design consultant, suggested that Ridgway needed help with "wayfinding."
"There is car scale and there is pedestrian scale," he said. "The Ridgway sign at the highway intersection, while beautiful – I did walk over and look at it – is too small to see from your car...you have lots of little, neat signs, but they're not readable from a car."
He also recommended the town take advantage of the "handsome" restrooms at the north end of Hartwell Park. "You could have 'Rest Stop' signage that would get more people off the highway and out of their cars. CDOT will sign that." And, as for the town's Streetscape Plan, which he highly approved, Schler said, "You need to fight, stay on CDOT's ass, for pedestrian scale, crosswalks, awnings, streetlights," and so on. "Remember, CDOT's goal is the move people through your town. Your goal is to get people to stop."
Maryo Gard-Ewell, a Creative Districts Consultant from Gunnison told the group that "economic development is a mindset. There's tons here that can be synergized." She echoed an earlier recommendation that Ridgway consider creating an umbrella organization, with a paid staffer perhaps, to help coordination and communication among the town's various economic development enterprises: RACC, Streetscape Committee, Creative District, events committees, town government – and now Main Street Program.
Mayor John Clark, in a comment afterward, said, "I found it very interesting that one of their main findings was that we might need a paid staff person to help all our various groups coordinate their activities in order to keep efforts from being duplicated. I'm really looking forward to hearing what comes out of the final report, and working with the community to prioritize the recommendations that come out of it."
Gard-Ewell concluded with the fact that Ridgway is the only community in the Main Street Program that has also been awarded Creative District status by the state. "We're going to be studying you," she said with an encouraging smile.

Somewhere between the ages of 8 and eighteen, sneakers were replaced with kitten heels, then regular heels, then stilettos, then–well, we're not sure we want to know. Sure, sneakers may take a backseat to our fancier shoes, but nothing can beat a good pair of sneakers, comfort-wise. Here are six sneakers that combine fashion and comfort from Endless.

Wandering George, as he was affectionately known, passed away peacefully in his Newport Beach home Friday morning, March 30, 2012, at the age of "90-1/2" (as he liked to say).
Born Aug. 3, 1921, he lived in Louisiana, Mo., until moving to Los Angeles at the age of 10 with his mother and sister.
Adventure was George's life. After graduating from Kings Point Merchant Marine Academy in New York, he traveled the world on a Liberty ship, as a second mate officer, during WWII. He married Rae Ashman in 1943, and they had four children: Steve, Rick, Alison and Suzanne. Then in 1964 he took the entire family, and their dog, Beau, on a six-month journey on a 40-foot trimaran sailboat he had built in Seattle, all along the Pacific Coast down to Baja, Mexico. There were always annual trips with friends and family waterskiing, rafting, four-wheel driving in Baja, and later, exploring the USA and Canada in a motorhome with Rae and their dog, Charlie.
George was an exceptional businessman, and a top-producing, very popular loan agent for Cal Fed in the Long Beach area. He also partnered on the building and operating of several large apartment complexes.
In 1975, George and Rae discovered beautiful Lake Almanor, and decided to buy a waterfront lot on the new "West Shore," and build a home. The following year they moved there year-round with their youngest daughter, Suzanne, who attended her senior year at Chester High School. Water skiing in the summers, and ice skating in the winters, family and friends enjoyed the area for years to come. George and family had one last vacation there last August.
Rae passed away in 2004, and George married their long-time friend, Pat Spooner, the following year. George and Pat spent nearly seven years enjoying life on Lido Island, and George loved playing tennis and bocce ball with "the guys" up 'til the end.
Kind, generous and fun, George Shaw was loved and admired by everyone. He made us all feel so special and inspired us to be the best we could be. We'll miss you, George!
We had a wonderful 90th birthday party for him six months ago with friends and family, and the immediate family will have a private ceremony at sea next weekend.
Coetta Maxine Tilford entered into eternal rest Saturday, March 31, at the age of 83, in Chico.
She was born July 14, 1928, in Stratford, Okla., to Lee Roy and Nellie Mae Lewis, and married Henry Charles Tilford Dec. 23, 1943, in Modesto. Maxine and family moved to Westwood in 1970 and become a fixture in the town.
Since 1992, Maxine had been known as the "Pie Lady," owing to her ability to create mouth-watering pies from scratch at her daughter and son-in-law's restaurant, the Old Mill Cafe. Prior to becoming the Pie Lady, she worked for Young's Super Market in Westwood as a cashier before retiring, twice. Before her years at the market, Maxine and her husband ran a cafe in Westwood called Hank's Cafe. This lasted from 1970 through 1972.
When not working, Maxine spent time gardening, playing bingo and beating the odds on slot machines at whichever casino she happened to walk into.
She was preceded in death by her son Jimmie Carl Tilford in 2003, and her loving husband Henry Charles Tilford in 2004.
She is survived by her son Johnny Tilford and daughter-in-law Randee, of Loomis; daughter-in-law Carol Tilford, of Quincy; and daughter Connie Theobald and her husband Rod, of Westwood.
In addition, she leaves a legacy of seven grandchildren: Brian Tilford and wife Shelly, of Westwood; Jeff Tilford and wife Nancy, of Lincoln; Jimmie Tilford Jr. and wife Kari, of Reno, Nev.; Trisha Fripp and husband Sean, of Beaufort, S.C.; Michelle Redman and husband Tony, of Beaufort, S.C.; Jason Theobald and wife Katelyn, of Westwood; and Ronnie Theobald and wife Ashley, of Westwood. Maxine also leaves behind 15 great-grandchildren.
A celebration of life will be held Sunday, April 15, at the Calvary Chapel in Westwood, and will be followed by a private interment at Westwood Cemetery.
The morning of her passing we know that her husband and son were waiting with open arms at Heaven's Gate to welcome her home. Her love will forever live in the hearts of family, friends and all those who knew her. She will be greatly missed.
Patty Mallery died March 29, 2012.
