In Memoriam
December 1, 1949-October 13, 1992
Douglas L. Esse, archaeologist, professor, and foremost authority on the Early Bronze Age Levant, died on October 13, 1992, at home with his family in Hyde Park, after a long battle with stomach cancer. He was forty-two years old.
I knew Doug for more than a decade and a half: first as a student at the Oriental Institute, then as a colleague in the field and in the classroom, and throughout as a very best friend. He began his field work in 1975 at Tel Dan and Tel Qiri in Israel and continued to develop as a stratigrapher and strategist in the following year, when he joined our staff at Carthage. By the time we launched the excavations at Ashkelon a decade later, where Doug served as associate director and as director of the lab in Jerusalem, he had become one of the very best excavators I have ever known. Few archaeologists could excavate the backfill of robber trenches the way he could and retrieve in negative form so many coherent building plans.
Through his meticulous excavation and recording, he was able to recover dozens of unbaked clay cylinders at Ashkelon, which when found in rows indicated they had fallen from a vertical loom in a weaving factory. Since this type of loom weight is totally alien to the Canaanite culture, these homely artifacts have become valuable documents for tracing the Philistines back to their place of origin; these mud cylinders are found in abundance at Minoan and later Mycenaean sites.
Doug received his M.A. in 1977 and his Ph.D. in 1982 "with distinction" from the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago. I had the privilege of serving as primary reader of his doctoral dissertation, which he revised and published last year as a book, Subsistence, Trade, and Social Change in Early Bronze Age Palestine (Studies in Ancient Oriental Civilization, No. 50). It is a tour de force, a grand synthesis that analyses the rise and fall of civilization in Palestine from about 3500 to 2200 b.c. Using the material from Beth Yerah excavated by Professors P. P. Delougaz and Helene Kantor in 1963 and 1964, Doug shows us how to move from the particular to the general, from potsherds to international trading networks, as he turns "heaps of broken images" into patterns that give us glimpses of the unbroken reality behind the sherds and scraps of evidence.
The renowned archaeologist William Dever graciously sent Doug an advance copy of his review of the book, now published in the Journal of the American Oriental Society. Dever proclaimed Doug's book a masterpiece of archaeological analysis and exposition-a model for us all.
His most succinct and theoretically sophisticated statement of the problem appears in "Secondary State Formation and Collapse in Early Bronze Age Palestine," published in the proceedings of an international colloquium held by the CNRS in Israel. There Doug explains how Egypt catapulted Canaan into its First Urban Age through economic stimulus. Commenting on the proceedings, the distinguished prehistorian Jean Perrot considered this piece the highlight of the conference.
In 1987 Doug was well on his way toward the summit of academic success: he was appointed Assistant Professor of Syro-Palestinian Archaeology at the Oriental Institute. Just two years later he was diagnosed with cancer. Nevertheless in 1989 he launched the Oriental Institute expedition to Tel Yaqush in the Jordan Valley, where for three seasons he and his students investigated Early Bronze Age lifeways. At the same time he continued to teach, to research, and to publish. He was an excellent teacher, regarded with affection and esteem by students and colleagues alike.
Whether digging in the field, or through old explorers' accounts of the Holy Land, or Ottoman tax records or whatever, Doug was a virtuoso in seeing how bits and pieces fit together to provide fresh insights.
By digging into the Research Archives of the Oriental Institute, Doug discovered a prosperous Canaanite city at Megiddo (Stratum VI), built at the beginning of the eleventh century b.c. and destroyed at the end. The original excavators from the Oriental Institute had published only a small portion of this stratum in Megiddo II: Seasons of 1935-39 (Oriental Institute Publications, Vol. 62). The confusion resulted in part from major staff changes made in 1934 by the inimitable founder and director of the Institute, James Henry Breasted.
From the original plans and unpublished photographs of the excavations, Doug was able to recover streets and pillared buildings, along with dozens of crushed collared-rim jars and the skeletons of numerous individuals who had perished in the fiery destruction. From this startling evidence he was able to reconstruct the plan of the city and recover some of its history. It appears that Megiddo continued to prosper as a Canaanite city well into the Iron Age, including among its ruins some presumed hallmarks (such as pillared houses and collared-rim pithoi) of the early Israelites. Doug began to explore the meaning of these discoveries in an article published in the Journal of Near Eastern Studies just before his death. All future studies dealing with the emergence of Early Israel and its relation with Canaan must take these new discoveries into account.
During the last three years, even though cancer was wracking his body, Doug somehow managed to continue his Early Bronze research at Tel Yaqush in northern Israel. During the last exciting season at the site, Doug's father, Doug's wife Ann, his son Joey, and daughter Allison (ages nine and six) participated in the excavations. Throughout the long ordeal, his priorities and passions never changed: family, friends, and archaeology, in that order.
I talked with Doug almost every other week during the past year. Just a month ago, embattled but not embittered by the cancer, he told me about the articles he was writing, and alas, never finished, and the classes he would be teaching next year. Highest on his list of priorities was the publication of his excavations at Yaqush, followed closely by publication of his new discoveries about Iron Age Megiddo (tentatively titled Megiddo Stratum VI: The Iron I Period) and a volume dealing with tombs excavated by Kantor and Delougaz (to be issued in the series Oriental Institute Publications, with the title Nahal Tabor: An Early Bronze Age Cemetery in the Northern Jordan Valley, Israel). His spirit and courage were indomitable right up to the end.
Ann, his wonderful wife of twenty-one years, put beside him in the coffin a Marshalltown trowel and three Early Bronze Age potsherds-the tool of his trade and the artifacts that he was able to transform into documents by which he read the past. T. S. Eliot asks us:
"What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow out of this stony rubbish? Son of man, you cannot say, or guess, for you know only a heap of broken images, where the sun beats, and the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief, and the dry stone no sound of water."
Doug loved the "Waste Lands"-the mounds of ruin with their "stony rubbish" and "heaps of broken images." In both his profession and his life (they were inseparable) Doug knew that the truth of existence, the truth of reality, is not some absolute proposition about truth, nor ultimate despair, but something in between, a quest (whether in archaeology or in life) for something beyond the broken images of past and present, a quest for the unbroken reality behind the broken images.
We will sorely miss Doug Esse, the best and brightest of his generation of archaeologists, the kindest and most gentle person of any generation.

Oakland decided to keep its affordable housing program after redevelopment agencies were dissolved last year.
But the San Francisco Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/UFMk8o) that the California Department of Finance says Oakland can't use $9.6 million in redevelopment funds to pay for affordable-housing staff. State officials also say the city can't keep an additional $8.5 million of redevelopment funds in reserves.
Mayor Jean Quan says state officials are breaking a promise to allow the city to continue affordable housing. She says the decision threatens 30 affordable-housing projects involving 2,000 units. The impact on Oakland's $400 million general fund budget is not yet clear.

It is well-known that you can use the RF Module to compute the impedance of lossless transmission line structures, such as coaxial cables of uniform cross section. But did you know that you can also compute an effective impedance for waveguides with non-uniform cross section? Let's find out how!Read more ⇢

Branch line couplers, a type of 90-degree or quadrature hybrid coupler, are popular because they are simple to fabricate and easy to design. They are passive devices commonly used in single-antenna transmitter systems and I/Q signal splitters/combiners. Let's look at the basics of how this type of coupler works and some of its important design aspects.Read more ⇢

Have you ever wondered why boaters wear polarized sunglasses? It's because sunlight reflecting off the water is primarily polarized in one direction, and polarized sunglasses will block this component of the reflected light, thus reducing glare. To understand why this is, we can use COMSOL software. This example solves the governing Maxwell's equations using the RF Module or Wave Optics Module to simulate light incident at an angle upon a dielectric medium, and the solution shows agreement with analytic solutions.Read more ⇢

We often want to model an electromagnetic wave (light, microwaves) incident upon periodic structures, such as diffraction gratings, metamaterials, or frequency selective surfaces. This can be done using the RF or Wave Optics modules from the COMSOL product suite. Both modules provide Floquet periodic boundary conditions and periodic ports and compute the reflected and transmitted diffraction orders as a function of incident angles and wavelength. This blog post introduces the concepts behind this type of analysis and walks through the […]Read more ⇢

Not too long ago, my colleague Jennifer wrote a blog post about the Cross Cancer Institute, and the research being conducted there into the design of a new device for treating cancerous tumors. The device, known as the Linac-MR, is revolutionary due to its ability to both image and treat cancer cells simultaneously — a capability that had previously been regarded as near impossible due to the conflicting physics interactions involved. Such a device would allow for extremely precise radiation […]Read more ⇢

There were many interesting posters at this year's COMSOL Conference in Boston. A couple that caught my eye involved microwave heating and chemical applications. One of them showcases the use of microwave irradiation to speed up chemical reactions. Another — one of the recipients of the Best Poster award — used simulations to optimize their microreactor design with respect to microwave propagation.Read more ⇢

A Wilkinson power divider is a common three-port power splitter circuit that is used to split an input signal into two equal output signals, or to combine two signals into one. Unlike resistive or T-junction power dividers, a Wilkinson power divider allows for nearly complete isolation between the two ports and adds no resistive losses to the power split. Because of these characteristics, a Wilkinson divider is widely used in radio communication systems due to its ability to prevent crosstalk […]Read more ⇢

It's probably something we have all experienced. We get home, stick last night's leftovers in the microwave, and sit down to have a nice meal — only to realize that the food is scalding hot one bite and freezing cold the next. This experience has prompted me on more than one occasion to wonder: Why does a microwave heat food so unevenly?Read more ⇢

It seems everyone and their kid brother has a cell phone these days — and we are constantly using them. We don't just rely on them to make calls anymore, either; they serve as our maps, calendars, to-do lists, channel for social interaction, and so forth.

Scanning and Disposal Process for Imaged Records
1. Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to assist all members of the University community who digitise paper records to implement sound records management practices relating to the destruction of original paper records which have been successfully digitised through scanning and capture in the University's record keeping system TRIM or a digital record compliant system.
Download the Scanning and Disposal Process for Imaged Records Guide (doc).
2. Scope
Original records that are excluded from this guide and are NOT to be disposed of after digitisation:
- Records that are subject to a Government policy or directive not to be destroyed
- Original artworks - refer these to archive services for appraisal
- Original proclamations, charters, testimonials and intergovernmental agreements or treaties
- Records that are subject to current or pending legal proceedings
- Records that are subject to current requests for information under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009, the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 or the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998
- Records that are required as State archives that were created or received prior to January 1st 2000
Prior to destruction of Imaged Records, staff must ensure that records considered for destruction under GDA36 - General Disposal Authority - Imaged Records, are covered by a current, approved General Disposal Authority.
3. References
- State Records NSW General Disposal Authority 36 - Imaged Records
- State Records NSW General Disposal Authority 33 - Source records that have been migrated
- State Records Standard on digital recordkeeping
- Records Management Policy
4. Capture Requirement
TRIM or a record compliant system must be used to capture official imaged records and the associated recordkeeping metadata relating to the records. This will facilitate record integrity, preservation and retrieval.
Scanning of images must be done using software and hardware that comply with the NSW State Records minimum requirement for imaging records. This will ensure imaged records are a true and exact copy of an original. If the minimum requirements are not met we are not permitted to dispose of the original records.
5. Sensitivity
5.1 Security Controls
Staff must ensure that the appropriate security controls are applied to scanned images to protect the sensitivity of information. Access to records/images within TRIM is directed by the security level associated to the files and through the use of Groups and Access rights.
Staff are reminded that imaged/scanned documents inherit the same security level as the originals.
5.2 "Read Only" Controls
Staff are required to use only approved image formats. Approved image formats include Portable Document Format (PDF) and Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) for scanned/imaged records as these provide 'read only' controls ensuring data integrity and accessibility.
6. Quality
6.1 Technical Considerations - Recommended Resolution
Staff must observe the following recommended technical guidelines when scanning images into TRIM.
|Document Type
|Bit Depth
|File Formats
|Text only, black and white
|Minimum 300ppi
|1 bit (bi-tonal)
|Lossless compression
|Documents with watermarks, grey shading, grey graphics
|Minimum 600ppi
|8 bit greyscale
|Lossless compression
|Documents with discrete colour used in text or diagrams
|Minimum 600ppi
|Minimum: 8 bit colour
|Lossless compression
|Black and white photographs
|Sufficient to provide >3000 pixels across long dimensions
|8 bit greyscale
|Lossless compression
|Colour photographs
|Sufficient to provide >3000 pixels across long dimensions
|24 bit colour
|Lossless compression
|Black and white negatives
|Sufficient to provide >3000 pixels across long dimensions
|8 bit greyscale or 24 bit colour
|Lossless compression
|Colour negatives and transparencies
|Sufficient to provide >3000 pixels across long dimensions
|24 bit colour
|Lossless compression
6.2 Quality Control Imaging Process
Industry standards for imaging recommend quality control measures including:
- the issue of certificates verifying the integrity of the copying process, particularly when it is done by an external organisation
- periodic testing and cleaning of scanning equipment
- careful preparation of the documents to be scanned, for example, to ensure they are not folded, obscuring information
- random sampling of pages scanned to check quality. For large volumes, samples of 5-10% are acceptable. This quality checking to examine:
- smallest detail legibly captured (e.g. smallest type size for text; clarity of punctuation marks, including decimal points);
- completeness of detail (e.g. acceptability of broken characters, missing segments of lines);
- dimensional accuracy compared with the original;
- scanner-generated speckle (i.e. speckle not present on the original);
- completeness of overall image area (i.e. missing information at the edges of the image area);
- density of solid black areas; and
- colour fidelity.
6.3 Standard Format
The standard format for imaged records is PDF. PDF is a digital format that has become the standard for the exchange and storage of data. PDF files may be created natively in PDF form, converted from other electronic formats, or digitised from paper, microfilm or other hard copy formats. TIFF is a digital format that is widely supported. TIFF files are commonly used in desktop publishing, facing, 3-D applications and medical imaging applications.
6.4 Image Enchancement
To ensure the integrity of images any image enhancement undertaken must be noted and registered in the notes section of the document type within TRIM. This includes enhancements such as:
- Despecking
- Deskewing
- Crop Border
- Invert Images
- Smoothing/Sharpening
- Colour correction
6.5 Conditions for the Disposal of Imaged Records
To comply with legal requirements when destroying imaged records, staff must ensure that;
- All requirements for retaining originals have been assessed and fulfilled (refer to Scope page 1).
- The original paper record must be placed in a TRIM registered Archival Box for Quality control/Disaster Recovery purposes.
- Originals are kept (in the business unit) for quality control purposes for one month after copying proving that all quality checks have been made within this period and there are no legal or pending legal requirements to retain them for longer.
- Originals should be kept to allow time for any errors to be detected and to allow re-scanning.
- Disposal of any records under GDA24 should be in accordance with current University disposal procedures. These include:
- Completing a 'Record Destruction Authorisation Form' and forwarding this to the Records Management Office for approval;
- Notifying the Records Management Office how and when the records were destroyed include a destruction certificate if an external company is used to destroy the records.
- Copies are made which are authentic - the product of routine, authorised copying and registration processes.
- Copies are made which are complete - an accurate, legible reproduction of the original, without substantive changes or deletions of content.
- Copies are made which are accessible - available and readable to all those with a right to access it, for as long as it is required.
- Copies are kept for the authorised retention period.
Under the existing legal framework in New South Wales:
- there is no barrier to public sector organisations tendering digital images of records as evidence for legal proceedings, for GIPA applications or for other evidentiary purposes,
- under the Evidence Act 1995, an 'original' is not automatically regarded as better evidence than copies, including those made and kept by electronic means,
- the value of a record as evidence will, however, depend on how it has been created and kept, and organisations need to be prepared to show how they have protected images from tampering or loss.

Was just chatting with a friend, she has a rental house and wants two panels replaced, hooray!
Problem is that she thinks the house is wired with aluminum and she is allergic to the idea of a full rewire.
I've not had to work with aluminum before, that I know of.
My reflex is to think that to assure that everything, the receptacles and switches, etc are all safe, and that all the splices are well crimped, would be so much work that one may as well tear out the old crap and put in the copper and get it all done right.
Opinions? Who has a good protocol for working with old aluminum?

Non-beta "progenitor" cells in the pancreas can be stimulated to turn into beta cells even after birth or autoimmune injury to the pancreas, say researchers at Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School.
The cells, pancreatic duct cells, can be coaxed inside or outside the body to become insulin-producing beta cells. The finding addresses two problems: finding a new source of beta cells with which to treat type 1 diabetes via transplantation, and overcoming recipients' immune system reactions to transplanted cells.
If a person's own pancreatic progenitor cells could be transformed into beta cells, both problems would be solved.
The Joslin study challenges the results of an earlier Harvard study, published in 2004, which concluded that after birth new beta cells could only result from division of preexisting beta cells. It also asserted that beta cells do not form from progenitor cells after birth.
The study's immediate implication is that an unexpected new source of beta cells will be available for replacement therapy. Eventually, the research findings could be used in therapies designed to allow people with diabetes to regenerate their own islet cells

The only pickup sold by a luxury marque soldiers on into 2013 with few changes. There are two new exterior colors: xenon blue and midnight green metallic...more
A Cadillac pickup might seem like heresy to many of the Caddy faithful, but the wreath-and-crest brand was one of the first luxury marques to expand into the profitable SUV and truck segments. The EXT, which is essentially a high-end version of the discontinued Chevrolet Avalanche, is available with the same luxury amenities as the Escalade and Escalade ESV sport-utilities. Those amenities include a high-grade interior, state-of-the-art Bose 5.1 digital surround sound, and a touch-screen navigation system. The Escalade EXT uses the same six-speed automatic transmission and rumbling 403-hp, 6.2-liter V-8 that's found in its SUV siblings. But the EXT also borrows from its late Chevrolet sibling. Look behind the seats, and you'll find a pickup bed and the Midgate system from the Avalanche. When the rear seats are folded, the Midgate panel can be extended into the cabin, converting the EXT from a five-passenger vehicle to a two-seater and expanding the pickup bed from five feet to eight feet. A tonneau cover protects the external bed from the elements; alternatively, it can be removed for extra storage space. A power-operated soft cover is a dealer-installed option.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags are standard, as are traction and stability control with rollover mitigation, Ultrasonic rear parking sensors, tire-pressure monitoring, and OnStar telematics with automatic crash response and emergency services with a one-year free trial. Blind-zone alert is optional.

In 1888, a St. Paul Globe exposé of women's working conditions penned by "Eva Gay" launched the career of Eva McDonald Valesh, a young writer. During the time that she lived in the state, Valesh left a big impression on Minnesota journalism, politics, and labor organizing.
Born in Maine in 1866, Eva McDonald moved to Minnesota as a child. One of her early jobs was as a typesetter in a print shop, where she joined a typographer's union. Her interest in labor issues was sparked by her work experience and by her upbringing as the daughter of a politically active carpenter.
The first of her numerous Globe articles, written under the name "Eva Gay," was titled "'Mong the Girls Who Toil." It revealed the long hours, unhealthy conditions, and low wages faced by women who worked in a local garment factory, the Shotwell, Clerihew and Lothmann firm. When the women at that factory went on strike less than a month later, McDonald's article was credited with setting off the protest. She continued writing for the Globe for more than a year, going undercover as a factory worker, a domestic worker, and a store clerk. Although employers across the Twin Cities swore they would not be tricked, McDonald's youth, tomboyish appearance, and ragged costumes always got her in the door.
McDonald quickly became a star in the Minnesota labor movement. Her intelligence, passion, and poise made her a popular public speaker. She spoke across Minnesota in support of the Knights of Labor and their movement for an eight-hour workday. She was also elected State Lecturer of the Farmers' Alliance. As she lectured across the state, McDonald continued to work for the Globe as the editor of their labor section. She directed their coverage of the violent 1889 street railway strike of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
In 1888, McDonald became the first woman to run for the Minneapolis School Board for the Democratic Party. Women could vote in school board races but most did not support McDonald. Her working-class allegiances made her suspect in the eyes of many middle- and upper-class women.
McDonald's 1891 marriage to Frank Valesh did not slow down her career. However, her public life was significantly limited after she nearly died giving birth to their only child, Frank, in 1892. After recovering, she edited a labor column for the Minneapolis Tribune. She was also was chosen to introduce Populist presidential candidate Williams Jennings Bryan when he spoke in the Twin Cities in 1896.
In 1896, Eva McDonald Valesh left Minnesota for New York City and lived the rest of her life on the East Coast. After leaving the state, McDonald Valesh worked for Samuel Gompers, the leader of the American Federation of Labor. She also worked as a reporter, published her own magazine with her second husband, and became involved with charitable and relief work. She died in Connecticut in 1956, at age 90. She spent the last decades of her life as a proofreader for the New York Times.

Gotta Minute?1 of 8
When you don't even have time to eat lunch, call your mother back or pay your cable bill, the idea of adding anything new to your to-do list may seem downright masochistic. (And not in a 50 Shades of Grey way.) But it turns out that there's a lot you can accomplish—and feel good about doing—in about a minute.
Boost Brainpower2 of 8
No need to finish the New York Times crossword to keep your mind fit. To give your synapses a workout, experts recommend "neurobics," a term coined by Lawrence Katz and Manning Rubin, authors of Keep Your Brain Alive. Neurobics are mental exercises that engage the sensory and motor pathways in your brain. They can be as simple as rearranging a few items in your workspace. Chances are you'll still reach for your stapler on the left or the pens in your drawer. "That moment when you catch yourself and redirect your actions reflects your brain's increased alertness," write Katz and Rubin.
Keep a Journal3 of 8
Sure, keeping a journal is supposed to reduce stress, but when you feel guilty for not getting around to writing in said journal, it sort of defeats the purpose. Luckily you don't have to scrawl for pages to reap the feel-good effects. According to a study in the British Journal of Health Psychology, writing about something significant for just two minutes a day can provide similar benefits.
Read a Story4 of 8
Haven't finished a book since Hunger Games? In about ten seconds, you can get your literary fix with Ernest Hemingway's six-word story: For sale: baby shoes, never worn. And for a party trick, memorize the mini fiction. (What? You still have 30 seconds.)
Fall in Love5 of 8
Think you don't have time for romance? Pshaw! Research has shown that it takes as little as 90 seconds for sparks to fly. Sure the feeling may be elusive, but when it happens, it happens fast.
Up Your Sex Appeal6 of 8
Slip into something red for an instant bit of allure—and plenty of attention. A study from the University of Rochester identified the "red dress effect," whereby men are more attracted to women in the crimson color.
Get Organized7 of 8
Short of calling a cleaning service, the fastest way to fix a mess is to first write down the problem areas in your home or office. While it won't make the clutter disappear, it will allow you to focus. According to a study in The Journal of Neuroscience, piles of unopened mail, unfolded clothes, unorganized files all vie for our attention, cutting our focus in half. So take a moment to jot down your distractions, then tackle them one at a time.
Do Anything8 of 8
The secret to accomplishing your goals—whether it's learning to play the oboe or landing your dream job—is not as simple as thinking positively. (In fact, one study from New York University found that fantasizing about your future can actually have a negative effect.) Instead of thinking happy thoughts, think practical ones. Just 30 seconds of focused reflection on how you can learn to play the oboe is far more effective than daydreaming about what life will be like once you learn to play it.

Hey all-
Been meaning to find my way to this site for a while now. I have been a King fan since I was 5 when a certain #99 came to town. I've been hooked ever since. I grew up playing (my Dad is from Chicago and introduced me). I think at first I just really liked the idea of wearing all the gear, but eventually the sport became a passion. I play every now and again to remind myself of how much better I used to be, but mostly I get my trills of the game from the seats now. As of last year I share seats with a group of other guys. Couldn't be happier to have jumped in on tickets at the most ideal time. Some of my favorites:
Favorite player: Bernie Nicholls (hence the S/N). Mostly for the player, partially for the twitter account.
Favorite Moment: Deadmarsh's goal to eliminate the Red Wings in 2001 and Bob Miller's call that goes with it. Bob sounds like he is announcing the death of the Wicked Witch in that call as Osgood lays on his back defeated. Last year's run was great, but as a Kings fan over the years I've learned to celebrate the small moments as much as the big ones, mostly because we haven't had too many big ones.
Favorite King I've met: Before game 4 of the finals last year I happened to be down by the railing where Bob and Jim do their pre-game hit. As they were standing around waiting I told Mr. Miller that I first met him in a sporting goods store over 20 years before where he and Luc were signing autographs. I remember being very nervous to meet Luc (I was maybe 7 at the time) and Bob calmed me right down so I could get a picture and autograph. I then asked him who was going to drop the ceremonial first puck for game 4 after Gretzky had done it for game 3. He said "I don't know who could possibly follow Gretzky." I said I can think of someone as I pointed to him. He shook his head no humbly and I said well Mr. Miller when they win I'll be thinking of you. We may have a part of this but of everyone who has been through all of this you deserve it more than anyone. So my favorite King is Bob Miller because God knows that just about everyone else that was involved with the Kings has left the organization at some point but he stayed with it and he got his reward.
Favorite Enemies- Red Wings fans (most couldn't point Detroit out on a map), Mike Smith & Shane Doan (for their ridiculous behavior last year), Rob Blake (For leaving us high and dry in 2001) & Theo Flurry (his abuse story aside, he was the definition of a pest).
I consider myself a good fan. I know a decent (but not obsessive) about the team. I show up on time, don't use the restroom during the period if I can avoid it (and if I during a timeout only) and try to be courteous to the other fans in the area. I don't own a jersey, you can see in my face who I'm cheering for. I follow all the blogs (Mayor, Half, All The Kings Men Podcast, these boards, etc) and read all the beat writers as well. I take pride in the fact that Kings fan are generally more knowledgeable than our sunny locale counterparts (READ Ducks fans are gross). Looking forward to meeting some of the other great Kings fans and sharing and learning about what everyone else knows. Go Kings Go!

In 2012, JMU notched a 9-7-3 overall record and a 6-2-2 conference record. The Dukes finished third for the regular season in the league and advanced to the CAA Tournament semifinals where they fell to the eventual-champion Huskies.
Seven starters from last year's squad will return for 2013, led by junior forward Josh Grant (Plymouth, England/Torpoint College), who was second on the team in goals scored with seven, including a team-high four game-winning goals. He started in all 18 games he saw action in last season and was tabbed to the CAA All-Rookie team.
Fellow all-rookie teammate Bjarki Aðalsteinsson (Kópavogur, Iceland/Menntaskólinn í Kópavogi), a sophomore defender, will also return to the pitch for the Dukes in 2013 after a freshman campaign that garnered First Team All-CAA accolades and the Virginia Rookie of the Year title.
Northeastern, the reigning CAA tournament champion, was selected the preseason favorite, tallying 44 points and three first-place votes. Drexel, the 2012 regular season conference champion, was just behind in second place with 41 points and three first-place votes. With the Dukes holding third place, Hofstra picked up 35 points and a first-place vote to take fourth place and round out the top half of the preseason ballot.
UNCW was picked to finish fifth this year and William & Mary landed in sixth place. Conference-newcomer College of Charleston was projected to take seventh place in its first season in the league while Delaware rounded out the field in eighth place.

She cried.
If you are going to feel offended by her belief, then you're going to have a problem. You have to expect her to be offended by your lack of belief, and be prepared to deal with it. When you got married, you were a believer. Whether it's fair or not, she expected you to be a believer until you died, so on this matter you owe her a little more consideration than she owes you. She is not only going to feel offended, she is going to feel very vulnerable. Make sure she knows that you want to stay together. Be as honest as you can, as kind as you can, and assure her that your feelings about her have not changed. Use lots of non-verbal communication. LOTS.
Mark has given some good words of wisdom. The only thing I can add is this. Imagine, for a moment, when you were a believer (most of us on here, myself included, at one time or another were). Now, as a believer, also imagine that someone you dearly loved came out to you and told you what you believed was nonsense. How would you feel? More importantly, how (now that you're a non-believer) would you have wanted them to 1) tell the truth about their lack of belief, and 2) notwithstanding that lack of belief, expressed to you how they stilled loved and cared about you.
Once you've figured that out - and I'll admit, it's damned difficult - I think you got your answer.
If you don't have kids already and are thinking about doing so, I think it is critical that you tell her now. She needs to know. I place high odds that you will both undermine each other in this one aspect of raising children. If you already have children the issue is much more complicated. I would recommend not directly contradicting your spouse on anything religious with the exception of new earth creationism. At the same time, I would encourage a strong interest in the sciences and scientific method.
Remember this is just an opinion. I waited until I was 29 to find the right heathen woman to marry. Actually it took that long to find someone gullible enough to marry me. So, I am not going to know that much about your situation.
We have two sons. As I read these responses, I felt a great sense of relief. I really don't see my wife reacting in a marriage-ending way (She's a divorced, pro-choice Catholic who believes Adam and Eve and Noah's Ark are myths, strongly believes in gay rights and gay marriage, etc).
Naturally, I agree that I need to be the patient one here and give her time to accept that I've come to this conclusion. I don't think the sky will fall on our marriage. I was critical of Catholicism before we got married, and she was okay with that. So really, not much changed with respect to my view of her religion.
Still, I can't pretend this won't be a big deal. I'm going to take this slowly and carefully. One day she'll ask why I do not insist on going to my old evangelical church anymore, and I'll tell her step by step: I, too, am pro-choice. I, too, believe the Creation story and Noah's Ark are myths. Etc.
Thanks for the advice. I'd love to hear more.
I think slowly and carefully is a good approach. Maybe you could discuss topics first, so your stance won't be a shock. Hopefully she won't be defensive when discussing topics before you finally tell her. I think most people think logically before they feel cornered. Then they will fight you no matter what.
Are you certain of her beliefs? My wife and I kind of came around at about the same time, not that either of us was ever really religious. Her only comments ever were "is there something wrong with me that I don't believe like these other people do?"
I just wanted, again, to thank everyone here for the support and sound advice. My wife and I still haven't had the talk, and I have no intention of rushing it. We had a delightful Christmas and our boys sang happy birthday to baby Jesus. They also were very excited about Santa Claus visiting on Christmas. We'll have our talk, or series of talks, when the time is right.
Glad to hear that you are having a good holiday. I wish you luck when the time comes.

3.38/5 rDev -6.1%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5
A - Initially very impressive pale golden/straw color when poured from the 12 oz bottle. The head amounts to about 1 finger in height before receding to a slim coating. Great, lasting carbonation, but it does not retain and there is no lacing to speak of on the glass.
S - I expected orange peel and spices. I got more of a lemony smell, along with mysterious spices. Little bit of light sweetness.
T - Edited: Dominant taste is the spice mix, which now seems overdone to me. Complimenting the spice mix is a bubblegum sweetness, which I'm not a huge fan of. Hidden somewhere in the background is an orange/lemon grassiness.
M - Drank it cold and the mouthfeel was a lot better than warm. Very light with tight carbonation, almost soda water type feel. Unfortunately there is also a bit of a lingering aftertaste that I do not care for, less prevalent at cold temps.
O -It's spring time in New England so I figured I'd give this another go. I was able to discern a couple new flavors, specifically the bubblegum and grassiness. It's drinkable, but not terribly enjoyable for me. Best consumed cold and quickly. Note: edited from last year. My score for this increased a bit.

look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.25
Pours a cloudy, pale golden in my wheat beer glassware. Very thin, nearly nonexistent lace here.
Nose is crisp citrus and yeastiness, with touch of spice to round it out. Pleasant.
Tastes mild and approachable as a session beer or a beginner's craft beer, with plenty of orange citrus and a kiss of spice around the edges. And while this seems to lack the complexity and depth of a typical German hefeweizen, it's still a tasty and enjoyable wheat beer that should appeal to just about anyone.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 10/15/2013. Pours very hazy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of lemon, pear, apple, orange peel, coriander, wheat, bread, herbal, light clove, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of malt, yeast, and spice notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, pear, apple, orange peel, coriander, wheat, bread, herbal, light clove, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of lemon, pear, apple, orange peel, coriander, herbal, wheat, bread, light clove, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice balance and robustness of malt, spice, and yeast ester flavors; with a good malt/spice balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbontion and body; with a slightly creamy, smooth, and bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected for 4.8%. Overall this is a nice and pleasant witbier. Good balance and robustness of malt, spice, and yeast ester flavors; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

2.65/5 rDev -26.4%
look: 2.5 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3
"Beer with natural flavors added." "Unfiltered wheat beer." Reviewed as a witbier. 12 fl oz brown glass bottle with simple label and branded red pry-off pressure cap acquired at a local bottle shop and served into an Avery stem-tulip in low altitude Austin, Texas. Reviewed live. Expectations are average.
Served cold - straight from the fridge. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: No bubble show forms as it's poured.
Pours a one finger wide head of white colour. Disappointingly thin. Lacks creaminess. Poor complexion and consistency. Head retention is below average - about 1.5 minutes. No lacing clings to the sides of the glass.
Body colour is a murky dull copper - not quite the cloudy yellow-orange you'd expect from a good witbier. Lacks vibrance/glow. No yeast particles/sediment is visible.
This looks pretty bad for a witbier. Outside style conventions, it's generally appealing. I have my reservations.
Sm: Coariander, citrus peel, clove, Belgian malts. A generally pleasing aroma of light strength.
No yeast character, alcohol, or overt hop character is noticeable.
T: Painfully simple. Artificial citrus fruit extract, an overly sweet Belgian pale malt base, and a touch of coriander. Lacks the artful balance and careful subtlety of the best witbiers. It comes off feeling like a homebrew extract imitation. I'm far from impressed. There's no intricacy or nuance whatsoever. Shallow depth of flavour. Average duration and intensity of flavour. I can't say I like it.
Mf: Too coarse for a witbier. It should be light, refreshing, soft, and smooth, but it's none of those things. Wet and overcarbonated. The texture is all wrong for a witiber; far too thick and filling. Poorly executed.
Not oily, gushed, hot, boozy, astringent, or rough.
Dr: Downable but boring and bland for the style. This is the worst witbier I've had in a while. I'd caution friends against buying it and I highly doubt I'll be buying it again. Poor work from Harpoon.

A: Yellow. Cloudy. Visually, I find it appealing.
S: Slight fruitiness---hint of orange. Slight grainy odor. Nothing overpowering---I'd say almost muted but not in a bad way.

M: Light. Moderate carbonation. Goes down easy.
O: Enjoyable. I wouldn't say I'm in love but it was more of a pleasant surprise. I'd drink it again.

A: yellow, cloudy, unfiltered greatness
S: Has an aroma of orange and coriander
T: very crisp and refreshing
M: I feel the carbonation is well-balanced. The carbonation gives you the crisp and refreshing feeling while not overpowering the multiple flavors in the beer. Even when warm, the beer is delicious.

12 bottle poured into wine glass.
A - Pours a hazy yellow, with a slight amber tint. Not much carbonation noticed, think 1/2" head even after an aggressive pour. Head dissipated quickly and left no lacing. Not the best looking beer.
S - Smooth and sweet malts up front, as well as plenty of wheat. Citrus is very prevalent: both orange peel and a lemon-lime citrus aroma are noted. A very slight hint of yeast was noticed as the beer warmed. Nice smelling beer, especially for it's style.
T - Witbier's aren't my style, but I was impressed with this beer. The malts and wheats can be noted up front. Never got the orange peel, but the citrusy flavor was definitely noted. As the beer warmed, the citrus flavor was similar to a non-carbonated lemon-lime soda, like Sprite or 7-Up. Unique and pleasant. Only thing I didn't like was a weird, slightly unpleasant sweetness in the aftertaste.
F - Not bad, but expecting a beer of this style to be more refreshing. Not enough of a carbonation fizz. Still a beer that's sessionable and not unpleasant. Not dry or sticky.
O - Pleasantly suprised with this beer. Again, Witbier's aren't really my style, but I enjoyed this beer. Like the smooth combo of malt and wheat, and the cirtusy falvor was natural tasting and not overly sweet. Not a beer I'd buy on it's own, but I'll certainly enjoy the other one from the Harpoon Winter variety pack.

On tap at Smokey Bones near Reading, PA. Only had it becuse the DFH 90 was taken off.
Asked for a non frosted glass, and it arrived in a glass where the frost had obviously just been wiped off. No real problem, Witbier is good cold. Hazy yellow body with 1 finger of foamy head which quickly dissipated to a thijn ring. Some interesting lacing initially, then none.
Smell was faint, yeasty, some citrus, but mostly the generic "beeer smell".
Taste was okay, just not impressive. Only faintly tasted the citrus
Mouth was thin, not much going for it. There are far, far betterits out there.
Perhaps I was just bummed that the DFH 90 was off, but this wasn't too enjoyable. Paired okay with the smoky wings I ordered. Incidentally, Smokey Bomes "craft beer" menu left a lot to be desired. Blue Moon, Leinenkugels, low end Goose Island, Shock Top, and Sam Adams.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Pours a hazy medium golden with a dense ivory head that slowly dissipates.
Wheat, orange zest, coriander, clove, white pepper, and Belgian yeast form the aroma. There's a bit of underlying bready malt, but orange dominates. Light earthy hops are present.
Flavor is initially malty, but subsequent sips reveal a virus kick and wheat, which hits mid palate and carries into a bready, dry, peppery finish. Orange and lemon notes accompany light Belgian yeast character, with hints of phenols. A bit heavy in flavor.
Body is moderate, with fairly high carbonation and light alcohol warmth.
More malty than expected, and the orange really dominates, but a very approachable beer.

S- Only hints of a "beer" aroma, orange and malty
T- Wheat the whole way through with non-overpowering bursts of orange, lemon, and spice. Very flavorful and delicious. Sweet and not really bitter. Citrus/apricot aftertaste reamains for a while afterward.
M- Fizzy. Light enough for summer nights, dense enough to not be boring.
O- Great wit, especially for its price.

M: Medium body and moderate carbonation with low/ no alcohol warmth.
D: Overall a decent american witbier with enough flavor and balance to satisfy. Not a standout in this category however but it can be fairly easy drinking.

Poured out of the bottle into a pint glass. Appearance is a hazy straw gold, with a limited white head. There's a great citrus taste with some mild malt. The mouthfeel and carbonation area bit much. The smell was a bit light, but you definitely got the orange. Nice for summer.

This beer is crisp and clean for hot summer days in the back 40, but the mouth feel in particular leaves something to be desired. Usually with witbier, the taste is refreshing and then lingers with that dry clean finish. This had the refresh, but each sip didn't excite me to come back to the next.

This beer looks great, like some of the best Witbiers out there, but that is where its impressiveness ends. It has a very citrusy smell (orange slices?) but falls flat pretty much everywhere else. It has a bland taste and is just flat out mediocre. There is no doubt this is a witbier, but I certainly wouldn't call it an impressive example of the style.
This is a do not buy again for me.

I was excited to see this newly available in cans just in time for the first glimpse summer in Vermont. And, while I had tried it once before in bottle form, it was admittedly forgettable.
Anyway, here goes:
A: Although my preference was to drink from the can, the one I did pour was hazy, golden, and quite attractive.
S: Orange and yeast dominant.
T: Much more orange/citrus heavy than any other wit I've had. I didn't like it much at first, but it grew on me after having the third or fourth.
M: Not overly watery, unfiltered, and extremely refreshing.
O: As some have said, it would be unfair and unreasonable to expect this to be on par with some of the other, much more expensive wit's available out there. In fact the only two other commercially-available wits that I would prefer to this are limited to 4-packs usually priced upwards of $10. That being said, the very fact that such a decent, refreshing wit can be found in cans for under $15 is fantastic. And, quite frankly, if you're looking for an above-average warm-weather beer that beats your average "summer ale", UFO White is a fantastic option.

This beer isn't meant to reviewed in depth. There's not enough going on with regards to depth and complexity to make anything anyone says matter.
It's an alternative to big-box light beers - ideal for the summer. In that regard, it's a great beer.

Poured into a Sam Adams glass, developed a nice full head which laced very well and had good retention. Appearance was cloudy and yellow to straw in color. Aroma was very stong of citrus, orange in particular, with notes of banana. Taste was of a mild citrus, more orange / lemon, with hints of spice. Mouthfeel was light with a mild, citrus aftertaste.

Pretty good beer. I like the cloudy look the UFO gives. I actually prefer this to there other ufo offerings (although I like the raspberry as well.)
This offers a lot while not being over the top with the orange, but the orange hints are there.
I tried with and without a squeeze of orange. Both a nice but I prefer it without because there seems to be enough going on that the orange squeeze takes away from the beer.
I will definitely buy again - very good beer for a gathering to let people try.

Tasted at the Harpoon Brewery in Boston.
Whitish yellow color. Very cloudy. Good lasting head that leaves some blankets of lace on the glass.
Soft, subtle aroma of banana, clove and coriander. Attractive and inviting.
The flavor lands closer to the mild side of Wits. This would be an easy introduction into the wheat world. The flavor mimics the smell. Full bodied with elevated carbonation.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – Served a hazy orange-yellow colored brew with a tiny white head that fades very rapidly. Upon fading almost no lace is left on the sides of the glass
Smell – The nose is quite sweet and citrus with heavy aromas of orange and lemon. Mixed with these smells are aromas of wheat bread as well as some aromas of some spice of coriander and nutmeg.
Taste – The taste begins with a good dose of wheat and a more lemon citrus taste that gives is a sour sweet flavor upfront. As the taste advances some flavors of orange sweeten it up some with other spice flavors of a coriander flavor as well as some yeast flavors coming to the tongue. While these sweeten the flavor, it is only temporary as soon more bitter/sour comes to the tongue in the form of lemon and some grapefruit hop flavors. These take the taste to the end where they are joined by a bit more spice of both nutmeg and coriander, leaving a sweet and sour citrus flavor to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel –The body of the beer is on the average to actually slightly chewier side for the lower abv and the style with a carbonation level that is on the average to slightly above average side. The slightly chewiness takes away from the easy drinking character of the brew in some ways, but actually is not too bad for the wheaty and citrus flavors of the brew. With the higher carbonation making up for the chewier body (in terms of taking away its crispness), it is surprisingly a good combination for the tastes of the brew.
Overall – A fairly decent wit. A little more bitter and sour then most, which I actually like, and with the slightly chewier body it makes for a quite nice drink.

On draft at The Lark, East Northport, NY.
Poured a bright hazy brass hue with a two finger foamy white head. There was good retention and lacing.
The smell featured a bright juicy orange and a touch of esters.
The taste was dominated by a suprisingly vibrant fresh orange, doughy malts and a clean wheat spice. Light esters detected as well.
The mouthfeel was full for the style and chewy.
Overall a very nice citrusy wit.

This was "donated" by a friend who left it at my house for a few weeks. Finder's keeper's! Let's see how this beer measures up.
Appearance: Pours a bright, golden, yellow that is at first almost virtually clear, but once it settles, it becomes a haze of gold that is somewhat transparent. The inch of thin head dissipates quite quickly.
Smell: Has a slight hint of wheat zest with a bite of lemon. Has some minor hints of spices and then a nice orange peel comes to and some almond.
Taste: Somewhat strong notes of malt, but nothing overbearing enough. Has a robust surge of orange peel and lemon zest that satisfies the palate quite nice. The well-balanced malts and lighter notes of bread and possibly artificial orange peel makes this an average witbier. I would much prefer other beers in this category, but eh is what I can truly say. Maybe next time something a little more natural with a higher hop flavor.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, medium carbonation. Earthy tone.
Overall: Going into this beer I was possibly expecting something a little more flavor. Bread-like hops and some decent light zest sort of made this a passable brew, but seems to be masking the fact that there are so many more beers in this category that are totally better. Not bad though for its price. Cheers!
