We split a bottle, pouring a brew of rusty pumpkin orange into our New Belgium globes. It puts forth a creamy two and a half finger tall head of whipped sandpaper colored foam. This retains excellently, leaving beehive lacing around the glasses. A chill haze reduces initial clarity, but no sediment is otherwise noted. Carbonation appears to be active, with large bubbles that rush to the top. The aroma is fresh and zesty, offering hoppy varietals of spicy florals, sweet nectars, and soaps. Sweetness comes in the form of tropical fruit of pineapple and kiwi, with darker notes of plum and black cherry fleshiness to round of the caramel, pale, bitter rye, and crystal malt base. Finally, for the finishing touches of balance we get organic, twiggy pine sappiness, radish, earthen mineral, soft bubblegum esters, raw honeycomb, rice milk lactics, light chemical phenols, distant vanilla extract, and airy booze fumes. Our first impression is that the flavoring is heavily spicy, between both the malt and hop profiles, insuring that heavy, lingering bitterness, so you can't forget the coast from which it hails. As we sip, the taste opens up with metallic piney and citric hop twang, orange juice fruitiness, clover honey, sharp plastic phenols, bittering moss and lime-flavored tonic water, mineral water grit, peppery booze, and hints of toasty, and lightly sweetened caramel malts. The middle comes to a peak with sappy pine, florals, and soapy hops amidst a wash of pale and lightly chalked and wheaty barley, soft buttery diacetyls, grapefruit peel, and plastic bite. The finish, on the other hand, barges through with synthetic lemon cleaner, as well as more authentic lemon rind bitters, bittering piney and soapy hops, soiled mineral, gravel, powdery ale yeastiness, orange pith, sweet browned apples, buttercream icing, hollow echoes of peppery booze, and shoe polish chemical bite. The aftertaste breathes of lemony and soapy hop oiliness, green grass, wet moss, and twigginess, mineral water, Band-Aid phenols, cheaply metallic pale malts, souring lemon juice, lactic acidity, parsnip rootiness, baking soda grit, dusty honeycomb, and coiny metallic dryness. The body is fully medium, and the carbonation is light to medium. Each sip gives pleasant slurp and smack, with decently creamy froth, cream, foam, and pull to the lip. Glug and finishing pop are both nice. The mouth is quickly wetted, but this superficial feeling is replaced entirely by oily, hoppy puck, eventually blending into a light astringent dryness to the back of the hard palate. The abv is appropriate, and the beer knocks back easily.
Overall, the best thing about this beer is its nose. The hops, from the first crack of the bottle to the last drops in the glass, remain sticky, fresh, and inviting. They are sweeter than in the taste in their aromaticity, but this offers an interesting evolution throughout the tasting. The taste actually hits as a bit of a surprise to follow, as the west coast comes out of it in full force. The bitters are predominantly from the citric rind, pine, and soap of the hops, while the malts offer icy and metallic pales that enhance this. After Simtra we were very excited to try this guy, and we can happily say that we aren't disappointed. One negative is that the malts are quite caramel forward in their heaviness, but this is expertly met and displaced by the spice and brightness of the hops, so by the end it is more of a fleeting issue. While this guy wears his heart on his sleeve, the real enjoyment comes from the masked subtleties of aroma and flavor, so breathe deep, relax, and take your time with this one.

it's an IPA --- a wide open category. this is really a quality beer.... knocking at the OUTSTANDING DOOR. maybe i just need a few more to convince me.
pours a perfect pale ale straw color, with a thin white foam.
some grainyness in the nose and a little hops but not exceptional.
this is a very nice drinking beer, definitely in the west coast/sandiego ipa camp -- excellent fresh hop bitterness, some citrus and very dry, with a grainy malt base, cereal with a little borccoli acidity from the hops.
this is really good... personally, i think you need to put it in 6paks for an IPA to break into the market. in a bomber i might pick it up again... if there was a 6pak i would buy it for sure. subtle change of pace from the usual. nice job.
pared well with a curry.

22oz bottle dated 10/19/13 poured into my FW snifter glass
Notes taken on 11/03/13
A: Dark caramel amber color with really nice clarity and a thick helping of stubborn khaki foam head. Decent cling from the lace leaving some intermittent tracks and dots of stick behind.
S: Smells of uber fresh hop pellets. Pine, grapefruit, dank weed, tangerine, and melon with a light topical flora mixed in. Impressively hoppy and fresh nose on this one. Has my hop tart tingling.
T: Super dank grass weed flav. Very herbal indeed with a firm malt backbone of toasted bread. Light citrus fruits and evergreens in the background. High perceived bitterness across the palate with no alcohol coming through. Light toffee like sweetness but otherwise very near bone dry and nicely balanced in that matter. Pretty tasty shit.
M: Moderately full mouth feel with nice even carb and a creamy texture. Vast drying efforts in the finish coupled with a high level of hoppy bitters. Resinous and lingering long after the drink.
D: This is pretty much dank sauce. Very herbal and weedy which I am on board with. If that is your thing seek this one out. Keeps a firm maltiness with dem hops and has a very dry finish. If it took 138 batches to arrive here then I might be a little concerned. Otherwise worth revisiting for me.

The first time I had this (4/2013) I thought it was OK, nothing to write home about. The finish was a bit long for me-- I like short and clean, with no lingering bitterness on my tongue-- but otherwise I could live with it. Maybe an easier-to-get alternative to my favorites which are all rationed and marked up by local vendors.
I have half a case in my refrigerator right now, and I'm liking it a lot better right now (10/2013). Perhaps they have tweaked the recipe?
I'm noticing the finish is a lot cleaner and quicker, just like my favorites (Pliny and Just Outstanding). It's nice and dry. The hop flavor is really nice, all piney and citrusy. I like everything about it, except for the price (nearly $9/bomber with tax and CRV).
I have to admit, reading some of the reviews here, I'm wondering if this is some reverse psychology. Trash this beer so folks won't buy it, leaving more for the reviewers who claim it is borderline swill? Are these negative reviews honest? If so, what better IPAs are these reviewers drinking on a regular basis? I gots to know.
I'm not saying I'd choose this over a Pliny or a Just Outstanding. The price is a factor, of course. But it's a lot better than some of the mainstream IPAs which I'd rate 3.0-3.5 all year long.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick LeahyApril 8, 2003 This past Sunday marked the beginning of National Crime Victims' Rights Week. For more than two decades, we have set this week aside each year to focus attention on the needs and rights of crime victims. Each year, this week reminds us of our longstanding commitment to afford dignity and recognition to crime victims, and challenges us to build on the tremendous foundation of victims' rights and services already established across our nation. My involvement with crime victims began more than three decades ago when I served as State's Attorney in Chittenden County, Vermont, and witnessed first-hand how crime can devastate victims' lives. I have worked ever since to ensure that the criminal justice system is one that respects the rights and dignity of victims of crime, rather than one that presents additional ordeals for those already victimized. Both Congress and the States have become more sensitive to the rights of crime victims since I was a prosecutor. We have greatly improved our crime victims assistance programs and made advances in recognizing crime victims' rights. But we still have more to do. For example, we have unfinished business with respect to the annual cap on the Crime Victims Fund, which has severely limited the money available to serve victims of state crimes. In 2001, Congress passed - and then repealed - legislation that Senator Kennedy and I had proposed that replaced the cap with a self-regulating system. Such a system would ensure stability and protection of Fund assets while allowing more money to be distributed for essential victim services. We should not be imposing artificial caps on spending from the Fund while substantial needs remain unmet. I am disappointed that the President's latest budget, for fiscal year 2004, does precisely that. Its proposed cap on spending from the Crime Victims Fund would reduce federal funding for state victim assistance programs for the second year in a row. This is particularly troubling at a time when both state funding and private charitable giving for victims' programs are drying up. We also need to protect our most vulnerable victims - women and children who are victims of domestic violence. Yet for the second year running, the President's budget fails to fund any transitional housing programs, and severely underfunds grants for battered women's shelters. Both of these services are desperately needed nationwide. On the other hand, one important program on which progress has finally been made is the Violence Against Women Office. Last year, we underscored the importance of that Office's work by passing legislation that required the Office to be moved to a more prominent position under the Attorney General. Yet for six months after the President signed that legislation into law, the Department willfully refused to follow it Now, however, the Attorney General has reversed course and agreed to set up the Violence Against Women Office with the status that Congress intended. I look forward to working with the President's nominee to head that Office, to ensure that she has the tools necessary to provide effective protection to women victimized by violent crime. One further category of violent crime requires special attention: terrorism and mass violence. We need to focus on victims' rights in this particular context for three reasons. First, after September 11, this most savage type of crime is a growing concern. Second, terrorism and mass violence differs from other violent crime in its ability to devastate thousands of innocent lives and whole communities. And third, provisions for protecting victims' rights in this context need to be specially tailored to ensure that they are in harmony with the needs of national security and public safety. Last year, Congress passed a bill to allow the families and survivors of the September 11 attacks to watch a closed circuit broadcast of the trial of Zacharias Moussaoui. Unfortunately, the judge in that case has severely limited the number of locations at which victims can watch those proceedings, which means that many victims will be denied the right that Congress sought to provide. There have also been reports that the White House may abandon the civilian prosecution of Mr. Moussaoui, remove him from the United States, and place him before a military tribunal in Guantanamo Bay. One of several concerns raised by that possibility is that the Defense Department's procedures for trials by military commission do not appear to give victims any role at all in the proceedings. I intend to be vigilant, and I urge my colleagues to join me, to ensure that neither judicial limitations nor military procedures unnecessarily impair the rights we promised last year to the victims of September 11. In addition, as we prepare for the threat of more acts of terrorism on American soil by providing much-needed funding for first responders - the police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical professionals who are the first on the scene in any terrorist attack - we should not lose sight of the experience, expertise and assistance that our victims assistance organizations can contribute. These organizations increasingly provide direct crisis response services to communities in need. With our help, they could become an integral and invaluable part of our emergency preparedness. The illustrations I have just given of areas for improvement for victims' rights may seem like a disparate group - funding for victims of state crimes, shelter for victims of domestic violence, strengthening enforcement against violence against women, giving victims of terror access to the justice system, and incorporating victims' assistance organizations into our first responder teams. But this diverse array of proposals all have one thing in common. They are practical means, tailored to the actual needs of real, specific groups of victims, of turning the promise of victims' rights into a reality. I hope that we will soon hold a hearing - and, more important, take action - on such practical concerns as actually funding the commitments we have already made to victims. That would be a fine way to honor National Crime Victims' Rights Week. Sadly, however, today's hearing will not address such practical issues. Instead, the proposal before us is more symbolic in nature, and its consideration has become something of an annual ritual. Today, we consider once again whether to make victims more promises, in the form of a constitutional amendment. I would like to begin my contribution to that debate by suggesting two general guidelines to which I hope we can all agree. First, remembering the debates we have had over the years about "unfunded mandates," I propose that we start with an agreement not to make any "unfunded promises." Insofar as the amendment makes victims promises that we lack the ability, or the political will, to turn into practical realities, we should reject it. Otherwise, we will just be tacking on to the Constitution what Shakespeare called "words, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." We owe crime victims more than empty politicking, and the very least we owe them is candor. My second principle is, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." We should not amend the Constitution unless and until we identify problems in the Constitution itself that need to be fixed. Amending the Constitution is a very serious matter, and I know the distinguished sponsors of this amendment have approached it as such. Indeed, they have been through nearly 70 drafts to date. Every time the language changes, they assure us that "this time, we've got it right." I do not doubt their sincerity, and their devotion, which I share, to the cause of victims' rights, and I commend their diligent work and their responsiveness to criticisms. But to me, the history of all these drafts is not at all reassuring. If Congress had passed an earlier version, like the version that the Senate debated three years ago, we could now be stuck with that version, with both the flaws that its sponsors now concede and the inevitable limitations that arise from the fact that it was drafted before September 11 radically changed the nature of the violent criminal threats that we face. It could be enshrined in the Constitution, with all its flaws and limitations, and fixing it would require another constitutional amendment. Our disagreement is not about the importance of victims' rights. I completely endorse the stated goals of the proposed amendment, which are to enhance victims' rights by ensuring that they can be heard, and that their views will be sought, at every stage of the prosecution. In fact, I have worked for years, with Senator Kennedy and other members of this Committee, to secure in a practical way many of the rights promised in the proposed amendment. Our current bill, the Crime Victims Assistance Act, would provide enhanced rights and protections for victims of federal crimes, and establish innovative new programs to help States provide better services to victims of State crimes. It also proposes a new alternative to the cap on the Crime Victims Fund that is supported by national crime victims' organizations. I urge all of my colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, to take a careful look at the Crime Victims Assistance Act. I hope our witnesses today will also take a look at this bill, and get back to me after the hearing with any thoughts they might have as to how it might be improved. I believe we can accomplish our goals far more quickly and effectively with legislation than with an amendment to the Constitution. We should always strive to hold balanced hearings, at which all opposing views can be aired and all arguments made. That is especially true when we are considering an amendment to the Constitution that could preempt the legislative efforts of both Republican and Democratic majorities, and impose mandates on both Republican and Democratic law enforcers, for decades to come. Let me say a little about the witness who was not permitted to testify this morning, a man named Bud Welch, whose daughter was killed in the Oklahoma City bombing. I find it ironic that at this hearing about providing victims a greater voice, the Committee would not allow Mr. Welch the opportunity to be heard. His testimony is compelling. It is deeply moving, in expressing the anguish of a victim of the very worst form of violent crime. And it is deeply practical, in examining in concrete terms the implications of entrenching the proposed amendment as a one-size-fits-all solution to the problems of victims' rights -- problems that take on a very particular and difficult form in the emerging context of terrorism and mass violence. I will submit his statement for the record, and I urge my colleagues on the Committee to read it. Mr. Welch opposes S.J. Res. 1 because he believes it could have harmed, rather than helped, the prosecution of the Oklahoma City Bombing case. One of the prosecutors in that case will be testifying this morning, and I know that he shares Mr. Welch's concerns. Turning to the witnesses who are appearing before us today, I have the same question for all of them: Why is this amendment necessary? Why are federal and state laws - both the laws on the books and those that we could pass tomorrow in the Crime Victims Assistance Act - inadequate to protect the rights of crime victims? One of the leading academic proponents of the proposed constitutional amendment, Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe, has acknowledged that "the States and Congress, within their respective jurisdictions, already have ample authority to enact rules protecting [victims'] rights." So, then, why do we need to amend our federal Constitution? Amending the Constitution should be an extraordinary action of last resort. The normal way that laws are made in this country is by legislation, and those who insist on amending the Constitution bear a heavy burden of justification. I do not believe that the proponents of this constitutional amendment have met their burden of justifying why we should amend our Constitution for just the 18th time in more than 200 years. In this Senate, we have previously rejected proposed amendments, such as the balanced budget amendment, that, whatever their merit, at least attempted to do things that could not be done by statute. The same cannot be said of this amendment. I also hope that our witnesses will share their views about the text of this year's version of the amendment. We must not forget that this is a constitutional amendment we are considering, and every single word counts. I thank the witnesses for coming. # # # # # |

On May 14, Fredonia resident and taxpayer Mark Lotter spoke at a Village Board meeting in regard to his concerns with the code enforcement office. During his speech, Lotter admitted he had second thoughts about speaking publicly.
Only days after questioning the hours, selective enforcement and overall performance of the code enforcement office, which is led by John Monaco, Lotter received a letter dated May 15. It said he was not in compliance with the village code on one of his properties due to high grass.
One day after Lotter's comments, he received a village citation by registered mail.
Coincidence? Maybe. Has the look of retaliation or vengeance? Absolutely.
In other words, village residents better be careful about speaking their mind on issues at the board meeting. If they do, reprisal is a possibility.
By the Lotter citation alone, this is not opinion, but a fact.
So will the board or the mayor do anything to address these issues of potential retaliation on residents and taxpayers?
Good question. Monaco threatened a village trustee in front of a village justice in December. For its part, the village says he was disciplined though they would not reveal just exactly how.
In April, the board reappointed Monaco to his position, which includes the compensation of more than $90,000 in taxpayer dollars.
What is wrong with this picture and just how many other property owners or businesses in the village are putting up with this? How many have left because of it?
By looks alone, it is wrong.

The Black Eyed Peas have been confirmed to hold a benefit concert in Minot on September 3rd, 2011. No exact date has been published on when the tickets will be available to purchase, but the cost has been confirmed at $100.00. The price of the tickets have already caused a stir among some of the victims, as they are engulfed in the expense of renovating their lives. But not to worry, if you're familiar with the city of Minot, the concert will be held at the Fairgrounds, so if you can't afford to go, there are plenty of places to set up camp nearby, and listen from a short distance away. If you can't go, but you can afford to purchase the ticket, know that your money is going to a good cause, and why not donate the ticket to a flood victim that afford it.
All proceeds of this concert will go to the Minot Flood fund. A special thanks to Josh Duhamel, who is married to Fergie, who quite possibly pulled some string for this great event to happen.

Newton Citizen
COVINGTON - Newton's Tevin Bradley and Jamon Hawkins gave the Rams the spark they needed to earn the first win of the season 66-44 over Jackson on Tuesday.
Bradley registered the team's first double-double, scoring 15 points and bringing down 10 boards. Hawkins made 5 of 8 shots from 3-point range to equal Bradley on the scoreboard. "We know he's a shooter, and when he goes full speed, he can do a lot of things," Newton coach Rick Rasmussen said of Hawkins. The Rams had 36 rebounds for the night and caused 12 Red Devils turnovers. "We're not very tall, and it does make a difference," Rasmussen said. "We have to scratch and claw and do the best we can. "I think our pressure gave them a little trouble. It's just good to get the first one under the belt and give the guys a little confidence. They know that what we do works, and we'll just keep working to get better." The Red Devils took the lead with the first shot by Rome Clark, the only time they led during the game. The advantage quickly vanished after Hawkins sank his first 3-pointer of the night. The Red Devils kept it a one-point game until a basket by Montrell Grimes and 3-pointers by Tarius Farley and Jared Mann gave the Rams a 12-9 lead to end the period. Farley started the second quarter with a 3-pointer as the Rams outscored Jackson 15-7 to take a 27-19 halftime lead. "We were a little sloppy, but a lot of that was because for a lot of the guys this was their first varsity game," Rasmussen said. "I felt that after they calmed down, it was a little bit better. I thought we played well in spurts. We really didn't play a complete game, I think it was good that we were at home. I thought overall we played pretty well. We just need to tighten up a few things that were sloppy." Newton continued to dominate Jackson in the third quarter, extending the lead to 41-24, including scoring the final six points. Jackson kept up with the Rams in the fourth quarter, scoring 20 points to Newton's 21 but was never close to taking the lead. Sean Monk also scored in double digits for Newton, with 10 points. Stel Watts, with 16 points, and Jamal Grier, with 10 points, led Jackson on the scoreboard. Manny Fils can be reached at email@example.com like this story

Photo: © 2009 Jupiterimages Corporation Everywhere we look these days there seems to be difficulty and trouble. Our world has become like a roller coaster in many ways. Prices are up, the Dow is down, grocery costs are rising, the dollars in our wallet are shrinking, heating oil is up, the temperature is falling. And although we feel hopeful, there are days when our spirits sink.
Words about money have penetrated our language. Words like debt, bankruptcy, downturn, deficit and depression are now used frequently with ease and familiarity. But, the money word I don't hear enough of is "change." There are the coins that pool at the bottom of your purse, lie in a drawer or stack up in a jar on the nightstand. Each time we throw a coin in the jar, it adds up. When we finally get around to taking our change to the bank and the teller hands us a $20 bill, we see that those single pieces really added up. The other kind of change is what happens when we turn our focus away from the roller coaster ride and on to the small things in our lives that add up to lots of joy and happiness. Like the individual pieces of change in our purses and jars that add up, so will joy and happiness when we positively change the way we view our lives and situation. The truth is that most of us are dealing with the fallout of the financial crisis in one way or another. We are all in this together. We each have the power to move from awful to awe-filled. We can chose to focus on what we have instead of what we do not have, what our blessings are instead of our curses and what we kept as opposed to what we have lost. There are lots of ways to bring joy, happiness, peace, laughter, hope and comfort into your life, and they cost absolutely nothing. They are free. There is no charge. Really ask yourself, "What are the best things in life?" Make a list of the top 25 things in your life. I'll bet they aren't things at all. They are the people in your life and the moments you share with the ones you love that will fill this list. Your list, like mine, will be overflowing with all the seemingly small stuff that adds up to be priceless. Every day there are trillions of treasures that cost nothing, and they enrich our lives in countless ways. When we turn our attention to counting and embracing the small things in front of us, we feel like a million bucks. Have fun celebrating, discovering, inventing and sharing the things that you love to do that cost nothing. |

Kew at Castle Howard
Castle Howard Arboretum Trust
Home to the Howard family for over 300 years, Castle Howard, situated near York in North Yorkshire, is a magnificent 18th-century residence set within 1,000 acres of breathtaking landscape. Castle Howard is also a thriving rural estate with many traditional enterprises such as farming and forestry.
Jim Russell, from the famous family of nurserymen, formerly based at Sunningdale (Surrey), became head gardener to the late Lord Howard in the early 1970s. He soon set about building up a fine collection of rare trees and shrubs in Ray Wood – an atmospheric place of exceptional beauty – and latterly in the 'Arboretum' at the Castle Howard Estate.
Russell was a close friend of John Simmons, Curator of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew until 1995, and both were accomplished field collectors who introduced many interesting plants of documented wild provenance to their respective collections. They also exchanged many plants from their expeditions and those of other associates, so that the two collections grew to have many accessions in common.
A key difference, however, was that Russell had much more space available in the new Arboretum at Castle Howard (CH) and adopted the habit of planting numerous genetically distinct, seed-raised individuals, whereas Kew's collection was more often of single or only few specimens from a given source. After the death of Lord Howard, Jim Russell moved away from the CH estate and the curation of its collections largely ceased.
Castle Howard Arboretum (all images on this page reproduced courtesy of Harry Kingman)
Establishment of CHAT and current trustee representation
The Castle Howard Arboretum Trust was formed in 1996 following discussions involving the Hon. Simon Howard (owner), the then Chair of the RBG Kew Board of Trustees (Robin Herbert), Kew Director (Sir Ghillean Prance) and Head of Kew Foundation (Giles Coode-Adams). Kew Curator (Nigel Taylor) and the Deputy Curator at Wakehurst Place (Mark Flanagan) were also involved at the invitation of the above-named (Flanagan was subsequently replaced by Tony Kirkham).
The original agreement, as applies today, was that the trustees would comprise equal numbers representing Castle Howard's and Kew's interests, headed by an independent chair. John Simmons was appointed as Hon. Curator of the collections and served until 2008 (he is still involved in an advisory capacity). CHAT has recently recruited a full-time curator. Twice yearly meetings of the CHAT trustees have been held at CH since 1996 and a Management Committee comprising Tony Kirkham (Kew), CHAT Curator and CHAT/CH employees meets 3-4 times/year, at CH or Kew.
The CH representatives on the CHAT board are members of the Howard Family or influential land owners from Yorkshire and the north of England, whereas the Kew reps are either Kew staff (Taylor), present or former Kew Trustees (Lady Arabella Lennox-Boyd) or former Kew Foundation Trustees (Sir Richard Storey). Timothy Hornsby is the current Kew trustee representative on the CHAT board and replaced Lord Selborne 2 years ago.
The Friends of CHAT are an established and growing supporter base. CHAT is actively fund-raising.
'Kew at Castle Howard'
Kew benefits from its involvement with CHAT in the following ways:
- CHAT's collections represent an 'insurance back-up' for Kew's collections in our southern England estates against extremes of weather and climate change (N Yorkshire is cooler/moister).
- CHAT's collections are genetically more diverse and thus more valuable for conservation.
- Heritage links via Richard Spruce's birthplace and Joseph Hooker rhododendrons at CHAT.
- CHAT acts as a base of Kew influence in the north of England; including free entry for Kew Friends.

NFL Draft
Saints Look Up To Patriots
Robert Kraft and Drew Brees (USPresswire)
Site Staff
Posted Aug 7, 2012
The New Orleans Saints pay the Patriots respect as one of the best teams in the NFL, and a model of consistency of excellence.
NFL Recovering Saints hold Patriots as a model
A harsh penalty imposed by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell may inspire the
New Orleans Saints
to have an outstanding season.
They can look to the
New England Patriots
and coach Bill Belichick for evidence of that.
''They've had some adversity and did a great job of handling it,'' Saints interim coach
Joe Vitt
said Tuesday after his team practiced with the Patriots (No. 2 in the AP Pro32). ''I've had conversations with Bill. We know that our players are strong.
''We've been through adversity before.''
In 2007, Goodell imposed fines of $500,000 on Belichick and $250,000 on the Patriots and took away a first-round draft pick for videotaping an opponent against NFL rules. The Patriots went 18-0 that season before losing the Super Bowl.
This year, he came down even harder on the Saints (No. 9) for a bounty program in which he found that players were paid for hurting opposing players. Coach
Sean Payton
and linebacker
Jonathan Vilma
were suspended for the season. Vitt got a six-game suspension, beginning with the opener of the regular season. Defensive end
Will Smith
received four games, defensive end
Anthony Hargrove
, now with Green Bay, has eight, and linebacker
Scott Fujita
, now with Cleveland, will sit out three.
In addition, general manager Mickey Loomis was suspended eight games and the Saints were fined $500,000 and docked second-round draft picks in 2012 and 2013.
New Orleans tight end
David Thomas
, a member of the 2007 Patriots, gave his teammates some advice about how New England's players handled their adversity.
He told them, ''the biggest thing was it will only be a distraction if you let it be a distraction,'' Saints safety
Roman Harper
said. ''That was the motto that they really took in that locker room and we kind of took the same thing. And as long as we stick together in our locker room, which is a great one, and we don't let outsiders get in and continue to be a distraction, it won't distract us.''
In 2007, the Patriots set an NFL record with 589 points, Brady established the league mark of 50 touchdown passes and Randy Moss caught an NFL-record 23 touchdowns.
''It showed that even with a lot of adversity floating around, you could still have success and have a great football season,'' Thomas said.
The Patriots adopted an us-vs.-them attitude that year, and some Saints feel the same.
''We definitely have a chip on our shoulder,'' quarterback
Drew Brees
said. ''We were going to have one anyway, but there's no shortage of motivation to go out and play well this year.''
The Patriots' response to the punishment ''is something we can look at and say, `hey, this is maybe the closest to what we're going through,' and just try to turn a negative into a positive somehow,'' Brees said.
The Saints and Patriots have another joint practice Wednesday before meeting in a preseason game Thursday. They also practiced together in training camp two years ago when Payton was in charge of the Saints.
Now, it's Vitt.
''I miss Sean not being here,'' Belichick said. ''I think the world of Sean. He's a great friend and I look forward to seeing him back out here soon.''
The players were happy, finally, to see different players line up on the other side of the ball after facing only teammates throughout camp. Both defenses, though, still went against two of the NFL's best quarterbacks just as they do when they're playing against their own.
''Seeing Brady and now Brees, it's tough matchups for this defense,'' Patriots defensive tackle
Vince Wilfork
said. ''But it can make us better.''
The Saints new zone defense under coordinator
Steve Spagnuolo
is getting a good test against Brady.
''If you're putting on a new defense, who better to go against every day than Drew Brees,'' Vitt asked. ''And then, all of a sudden, you're going against
Tom Brady
. Both those guys do a tremendous job of looking people off and getting you off your spot and fitting the ball in there.''
Brees set NFL records last season with 5,476 yards passing, 468 completions and a 71.2 percent completion percentage. Brady's 5,235 yards passing also surpassed the record of 5,084 set by Dan Marino in 1984.
So, how do they compare?
''Tom's quite a bit taller,'' Harper said with a smile. ''They both have great commands of their offenses. Both of them threw an interception today, which hardly ever happens, (but) Tom's a completely different beast. I think he throws the ball down the field almost better than anybody in the league right now - (an) extremely, extremely strong arm.''
NOTES: Belichick and Vitt flew on New Orleans owner Tom Benson's plane to the funeral service Tuesday for Garrett Reid, son of Philadelphia Eagles coach
Andy Reid
, in Broomall, Pa. ''We got to the practice field just a little bit late,'' Vitt said. ''Andy Reid's family had so many supporters, they kind of moved the service back a half hour.'' ... Belichick was moved by the service. ''Andy Reid is strong and his family is strong, and everybody knows that our thoughts and our wishes are with him,'' he said, adding that he had ''a heavy heart.'' ... Spagnuolo said the players had to temper their intensity because ''if you let that level get too high, then all you do is spend time butting chests and getting in fights. We don't want to do that.'' ... Brady - with his dog, Lua, by his side - and Brees spent several minutes after the workout chatting on the field.

text: The Splashiest Car Reveals of the Detroit Auto Show Each January, manufacturers try to make waves at Detroit's North American International Auto Show. Sometimes there is big news that rocks the industry, but more often it's modest news like a new concept car or refreshed production machine. And sometimes we've seen big-time public relations stunts for announcements that aren't really news at all. PM took a look back at past Detroit Auto Shows and chose some of the biggest splashes made at each one to find out, through historical perspective, what the impact of mosh pits and stampeding bulls has been on the success of the vehicles themselves. Was the spectacle worth the investment? Let's find out.

Notionally related to the classic 1949 Ford, the Forty-Nine Concept car promised to establish a whole new design idiom for mainstream American-made Fords. In Hindsight: When Ford finally got around to redesigning its mainstream Taurus, what appeared, in 2005, was the relentlessly boring Five Hundred sedan.

Final Look at the Twins/Tigers Series
with the help of Bill Ferris
Last night, I sent Bill Ferris, who does a great job with The Detroit Tigers Weblog, a few questions regarding the series and more. He was kind enough to answer the questions for us. Here you go:
SethSpeaks: The Tigers swept the three game series from the Twins by a combined total of three runs. The Twins pitched well and didn't take advantage of some opportunities. With the theory that the Tigers are arguably the best team in baseball, would you say that the competitiveness and closeness of each game is a statement that the Twins are close to the level of the Tigers?
Bill Ferris: I don't think they are far off, but they do lack offensive depth. The Twins did a great job of holding down the Tigers offense, but the Twins bats either a) couldn't muster opportunities (game 1) or b) couldn't capitalize on the ones they had (game 2). And the Twins bullpen is phenomenal of course, but didn't pitch with the lead in the series.
SethSpeaks: What was the difference in the series, in your mind?
Bill Ferris: I wish I could say the difference was the Tigers far superior team, but really this series came down to a lot of luck. The Morneau play was as freaky as they come and the Twins out pitched and out hit the Tigers in game 2. The Tigers just took better advantage of their opportunities and Twins mistakes.
SethSpeaks: Compare and contrast the starting pitching for each of the teams. Who would you give the advantage to over the next two months?
Bill Ferris: Well, Santana is better than anyone but the combination of Bonderman/Verlander is probably a better tandem than Santana/whoever. After watching Scott Baker in his 2 starts against the Tigers I can't figure how his ERA is north of 5 and Garza has been impressive as well. I'm a little concerned about Nate Robertson and Andrew Miller. We saw the good Robertson in this start, but he's done some Jekyll & Hyde routines this year. Miller has tremendous stuff, but I worry about fatigue come Mid August. Right now I'd give a very slight edge to the Tigers, but take it with a grain of salt from a Tigers fan. If I wore a different hat I'd probably vote the other way.
SethSpeaks: Compare and contrast the bullpens of the two teams. Who would you give the advantage to over the next two months?
Bill Ferris: This one isn't even close with the Twins coming out on top. Nathan is one of the elite closers in the game and Neshek scares the crap out of me. The Tigers have done a decent job cobbling together a pen after the Rodney and Zumaya injuries, and Todd Jones is in a decent groove now. If Zumaya (out another month at least) and Rodney (probably 1-2 more weeks) come back and return to 06 form, then there might be a discussion.
SethSpeaks: When it comes to the lineups, I think an argument could be made that the Twins have the advantage at 1B and arguably catcher, but that is about it. Without just saying "No" did you see anything in the Twins that makes them a viable offense?
Bill Ferris: There are elements, like Luis Castillo being a decent table setter, and Cuddyer and Hunter being productive players. But left field, third base, and DH are typical offensive positions, and that's a third of the lineup with nothing.
SethSpeaks:What is the general feeling in Detroit regarding the Twins? Right now, the Twins are 9 games back of the Tigers. The Indians are just one game back of them. Obviously Cleveland is more of a threat, but does the Twins track record over the past six or seven seasons keep them in the AL Central discussion?
Bill Ferris: Going into the series, there were a whole lot of people more concerned with the Twins than the Indians because of what happened last year, and Santana, and the pen, and the Metrodome. Now the feeling has probably changed in the euphoria of the sweep, but it's just 3 games and there's over 60 left. Of course the Tigers fans hope the team doesn't go 19-31 over the last 50 this year either.
SethSpeaks: I am a big fan of your pitchers. Andrew Miller of the Tigers and Matt Garza of the Twins are two of the better future aces in the league. Here comes a multi-part question: What are your thoughts on Miller having now seen him make eight starts this year? Where is he at, and where is he in comparison to where he could get to?
Bill Ferris: I'm in the minority, but I think Miller would be better served in the minors this year although he is changing my mind. He of course has tremendous stuff, but until his last 3 starts he was relying very heavily on his fastball and wasn't missing many bats. My argument was that he'd be better served by spending a full year in the minors to refine and gain confidence in his other pitches so he could explode on the scene in 08 like Verlander did in 06. I didn't want to see him have to learn on the job like Jeremy Bonderman who just this year mastered a third pitch. But, Miller has been mixing more, so maybe my concerns were unfounded. I still worry about fatigue though.
SethSpeaks: What are your thoughts on Garza specifically, but also on the Twins young pitchers (Baker, Bonser, Slowey)?
Bill Ferris: I see a nice cheap rotation for the forseeable future and hopefully you can then divert those other dollars to filling other needs rather than signing retread free agents. I can't offer up more than that because I haven't seen them much, but Garza and Baker had no troubles throwing 0's against a pretty good offense.
SethSpeaks: Since I cover the Twins minor league system pretty thoroughly, I am also very much curious as to what is coming for the Tigers? Are there any guys in the minor leagues that could help the team in 2007?
Bill Ferris: There's not a lot. Virgil Vasquez had a nice AFL and built on that this season. You saw him get hammered in a spot start against the Twins earlier in the year. A couple other pitchers who have been with the club in the last 2 years who could help again are Eulogio De La Cruz, Jordan Tata, and Yorman Bazardo. Toledo doesn't really have any prospects outside of Brent Clevlen. Chris Shelton is still trying to get back as well. Ryan Raburn who recently joined the team could be a cheap 4th outfielder for the Tigers next year and could make Craig Monroe expendable.
SethSpeaks: Secondly, after Cameron Maybin, name a couple of the Tigers other prospects that the Twins will likely be seeing for years to come.
Bill Ferris: Jair Jurrjens and Dallas Trahern are pitchers at AA Erie who both look to be Major Leaguer's at some point. Gorkys Hernandez is another centerfield prospect, lots of speed, great defender, can hit but not for a lot of power yet. But he is only 20 and playing in a pitchers park. And Rick Porcello might just work out if the Tigers can sign him.
SethSpeaks: What are the expectations of the 2007 Tigers in Michigan, and based on your thoughts on the roster and Jim Leyland and such, are they realistic?
Bill Ferris: Right now everyone is thinking at a minimum this team will make the playoffs, or their bullpen will keep them out of the playoffs. I think both views are realistic and the big divide is whether the Tigers should trade for bullpen help, and just how much they should be willing to give up.
SethSpeaks: And finally, in your mind, are the Twins really still in contention?
Bill Ferris: I'd say so for now, but they're on the edge. These were 3 one run losses, these weren't statement games. And the Twins just took down one of the other wild card contenders the series before. The issue now though is that the Twins have little margin for error.
Thank you very much to Bill Ferris. I definitely would encourage everyone to check out his great work on the Tigers at The Detroit Tigers Weblog. Send me an e-mail, or let's talk about it in the Comments here.

The end of the right of privacy?
Someday, a young girl will look up into her father's eyes and ask, "Daddy, what was privacy?"
The father probably won't recall. I fear we've already forgotten that there was a time when a U.S. citizen's telephone calls were nobody else's business. A time when people would have been shocked and angered to learn that the government is compiling a detailed log of ostensibly private calls made and received by millions of Americans.

Linux 2000
I see Linux as a progressive movement as well as an operating system. And, with any movement you need to chart your direction. To help with that charting I decided that rather than write the April, 1994 editorial I would just go ahead and write the one for January, 2000. So, here it is...
In the past 7 years we have seen Linux go from an idea for a small Unix-like system into a movement to bring affordable, reliable multi-tasking software to anyone who could buy a rather minimal computer. In fact, we have seen that in some parts of the world people are more likely to have a Linux system than be connected to the electric power grid.
Now we see Linux and an Internet connection in over 100 million homes worldwide. How did this happen? Cost is the best answer. Some of you probably remember an old program loader called MS-DOS. Back in the 1980s it was being marketed as an operating system and it managed to establish a user base close to that of Linux today. But it had three fatal flaws:
it only ran on one type of computer system and could be expanded to support the full capabilities of new microprocessors
it cost money
it didn't support multi-tasking
We can excuse the first flaw as it was originally written for a project at a computer company and was never intended to be marketed to the general public. Although a more visionary company might have made a better decision we can only say that hindsight is 20-20.
The fact that people actually had to pay for a copy of MS-DOS (or, more properly stated, were supposed to pay for it) could also be considered as a very short-sighted decision on the part of Microsoft. As we all know now it is the added value-training, customization and, of course, the user-specific applications-that make the money. Giving away operating systems helps to sell these services along with hardware.
The final flaw, however, is what resulted in the demise of MS-DOS. I remember that back in 1986 I gave a talk at a personal computer user's group meeting in Seattle. I had brought along an IBM-AT (remember those-it had an Intel 80286 processor in it and people ran MS-DOS on them) and a couple of H19 terminals (Heath kit? Another flash from the past for some). I had a version of the Unix system running on this hardware.
I talked about Unix systems pointing out multi-tasking as being a primary benefit. I was amazed when these allegedly computer-literate people didn't understand why multi-tasking was absolutely necessary. In fact, one of the group members actually said "I don't like Unix because it accesses the disk when I'm not doing anything". Today, 99% of the computer system users don't even know what a disk is, much less a disk access.
With the advent if ISDN in the early 1990s and personal satellite stations in the late 1990s, connectivity became the big issue. People quickly realized that they didn't want to know what their computer was doing, they just wanted to see the results. Could you, for example, imagine manually instructing your computer to call up another computer? Well, Unix systems pretty much pioneered the initial ideas behind these sorts of computer links with the advent of the uucp program suite back in the early 1970s.
When the average user, without using these words, asked for a multi-tasking computer system, Linux was there and waiting. We have to give credit to early Linux activists (and Linux Journal itself) for going out to companies that intended to market personal Internet stations and point out that Linux was a more capable and less expensive base to use for their products. The result, as you can see today, is that most personal Internet stations are based on the Linux operating system.
But there is more to the success of Linux.
People recognized they would rather pay for service than "things". Linux, much like my first car, a `55 Chevy, offers a choice for the consumer. They can either fix it themselves or then can hire someone to fix it. That someone can be a representative of the manufacturer or the kid down the street. This was certainly not the case with proprietary operating systems or vehicles of the 1990s.
We are pleased to announce that as of November, 1999 90% of our subscribers are now via the Internet rather than on paper. We do, however, see that other 10% as so important because that is where those who are new to computing (yes, there still are some) find out about Linux and how easy it is to get their Linux system on the Internet. Over the years, most of our subscribers have moved from paper copies of LJ to an Internet subscription once we got them up to speed.
To make this electronic version possible we had to upgrade our offices to a complete Linux network. Even though all of our editorial and advertising work was done on Linux systems from our humble beginnings in 1993, our production, subscription and accounting systems ran on other computers. Today our seamless ISDN connections (and the satellite link to my office outside of Yaak, Montana) make this startup seem like a nightmare rather than the reality of seven years ago.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

Zebra haworthia is a handsome small succulent that hails from South Africa. As an outdoor landscape plant, it's suitable only in very warm (Zone 10 or more), dry climates. But it makes an excellent houseplant anywhere. Indoors, zebra haworthia does well in east or west windows and tolerates cool, dry conditions in winter. It forms an expanding rosette of fleshy, triangular, mint green leaves with prominent bands of raised white bumps on their back sides. Zebra haworthia looks great in single pots or grouped with other succulents in shallow dish gardens. Common name: Zebra haworthia Botanical name: Haworthia fasciata Plant type: Evergreen succulent Zones: 10 or warmer (outdoors); anywhere as houseplant Height: 4 to 6 inches Family: Xanthorrhoeaceae (previously in Liliaceae) Growing conditions • Sun: Outdoors, partial or filtered sun; indoors, bright indirect light • Soil: Extremely well-drained, coarse textured (gravelly) • Moisture: Limited watering Care • Mulch: None, or a thin layer of grit or crushed rock • Pruning: None • Fertilizer: Diluted soluble fertilizer as needed Propagation • Offsets Pests and diseases • Mealybugs are occasional pests Garden notes • Move zebra haworthia outdoors to a partially shaded location in summer; move back indoors when night temperatures drop below 50°F. • Be sure to use a well-draining potting mix designed especially for cacti and succulents to prevent overly wet root conditions, which can lead to rot. All in the family • Zebra haworthia is a member of Xanthorrhoeaceae, a family containing about 900 species primarily in Africa and Eurasia. • Many genera, including Haworthia, were once lumped into the lily family (Liliaceae), but recent taxonomic research has redistributed many of them to other families. • Members of Xanthorrhoeaceae vary widely in appearance and include some, like Aloe, that look quite similar to Haworthia and others, like daylily (Hemerocallis), that have almost no family resemblance.

Abstract: This paper presents a study conducted on the thermo-mechanical properties of knitted structures, the methods of manufacture, effect of contact pressure at the structural binding points, on the degree of heating. The test results also present the level of heating produced as a function of the separation between the supply terminals. The study further investigates the rate of heating and cooling of the knitted structures. The work also presents the decay of heating properties of the yarn due to overheating. Thermal images were taken to study the heat distribution over the surface of the knitted fabric. A tensile tester having constant rate of extension was used to stretch the fabric. The behavior of temperature profile of stretched fabric was observed. A comparison of heat generation by plain, rib and interlock structures was studied. It was observed from the series of experiments that there is a minimum threshold force of contact at binding points of a knitted structure is required to pass the electricity. Once this force is achieved, stretching the fabric does not affect the amount of heat produced.

Found December 11, 2012 on
Pro Football Zone:
Larry Fitzgerald's dad went on a Twitter rant the other day and made it clear that he believes the Arizona Cardinals have thrown in the towel on this season.
During an interview with Jim Gray on Dial Global Sports, Fitzgerald said that he doesn't agree with his father's opinion.
"I'm in a unique situation with my father being a media member," Fitzgerald said, via ProFootballTalk.com. "He's making an observation based on what he sees and what he feels and that's his opinion. I don't share in those same feelings and that's where I stand on that."
Fitzgerald shot down any idea that the Cardinals have thrown in the towel.
"Never. We're professionals. That will never happen," Fitzgerald said. "We're going to continue to play. We're going to continue to practice. We're going to continue to prepare every week like we would if we had won nine games in a row. That's not going to change. We're not going to quit."

i will always jaibreak,because apple is never going to give us everything we want in one os so there will always be a reason to jailbreak.
Soo awesome. Can't wait to get it, I'll wait for the jailbreak though just in case
Jailbreaking almost removes the need to update...
It definitely adds a lot of features I've been looking forward to, I will definitely be downloading the keynote tonight.
stealth can i get in on the beta program please
i PM'd you
all these 4.0 addons, are bad for the jailbreak community
Hey Stealth, I know you'll probably get a ton of requests today but if you can spare one, let me know.
and the os will be released this summer, def preview today. Ipad release this fall
wow not surprised, no iPhone OS 4.0 for my 2g iPhone. Thanks Apple.
"And, for iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2nd gen, they will run many things... but there are some things they won't run, like multitasking."
WHAT NO MULTITASKING FOR iPhone 3G?! THIS IS MADNESS! NO THIS IS SPARTTTAAA. no seriously, NO MULTITASKING FOR IPHONE 3G?!
I totally agree, I'll continue to jailbreak. I really like that Apple has chosen to do this, but the iAd stuff is a bit to much.
ok looks like i need to update my ipod touch 1g glad i still have my 3gs though.
I think proswitcher is perfect on my 3g, no lag or massive battery drain. So i would still jailbreak. And yeah iad is a little much, they only wanted it to keep it out of the hands of somebody else.
You need to watch your mouth!
Noticed I said Almost
Wait, the multitasking isn't for the 3G? Lol **** that. Looks like I'll be staying on 3.whatever I'm on right now.
excited for this!
..backing up iphone now
was hoping for a change of icons as well it all looks a little outdated, no need for me to update really jailbreak does nearly all those things i want.
i love how the first questions in the Q&A are about AT&T's increasingly crappy network!
11:08AM Q: But what about Pandora? A: (Jobs) I don't think you're right. It doesn't use that much data.
11:07AM Q: Given that multitasking will increase data usage, how do you think AT&T will handle that? A: (Jobs) I'm not sure that's a correct assumption.

Exposing Fraudulent Indians
By LeeMerrill
Tue. 2/21 11a: Have you ever been somewhere, like a powwow, and someone seems to be pushing the Native envelope way beyond belief?
Does your inner monologue shout, "You're not Indian!" as they walk by? As a Native, what do you do in an instant like this? Do you call that person out? Do you follow custom by being polite?
Just what do you do when a fraudulent Indian is on the scene? How do their actions insult generations of customs and beliefs? What about when they make a dollar off of Native culture?
Guests include Sal Serbin (Assiniboine Sioux) Chairman/Florida Fraudulent Native American Task Force.
