Pours a straw-yellow color with a silky white head; tame, yet vibrant, no apparent lacing left on the glass. Aroma is crisp with some grains in the background, playing secondary to a nice helping of bitter, earthy hops. Some lemon zest pulls through and plays tertiary as well. Lots of carbonation on the initial sip; this was to be expected - it gives a nice, clean, crisp taste on the palate and brings out the strength of the hops. The hops make up a good percentage of the taste here, but make no mistake - this beer is far from "bitter", even compared to pale ales. Malts and grains come through in around the edges, again followed by a lemon-orange-citrus like sweetness that shows up for a moment and washes away. Some clove and light spice shows up once the beer is significantly warmer, although this isn't typically a beer that takes too long to put down. Thin body, crisp, clean, dry finish.
I'm not extremely well versed in "Czech Pilseners", so I don't know how this differs from the American type, but it certain makes for a refreshing beer to drink on a hot summer day. Hits the spot after mowing the lawn in 95 degree heat for hours.

Appearance Light yellow with a monster head that laced the glass quite nicely.
Smell Typical hop aroma with a tinge of sweetness.
Taste Americans seem to have great difficulty in producing the German pilsner style of ale, but this one nails it. The clean, slightly bitter, refreshing flavor of the neutral hops is lightly complimented by a touch of sweetness. The beer is dry and refreshing, which is just right for the summer.
Mouthfeel Some nice carbonation and the traditional dryness make this one a stand out.
Drinkability This went down just like it is supposed to: clean, crisp, and refreshing.
Comments I have to part with the (current) 3.62 rating of by BA Buds (on average). This offering from SN nailed the style, IMO.

Fest pours a crystal clear gold with a foamy white head. Dissipation is immediate and nearly complete. Clean and crisp hops and lager aromas with a touch of lemon. Primary component of MF and taste is the snapping turtle hop bite. Pretty darn drinkable.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint pint glass.
Pours crystal clear light golden in color. Very thin head of white soapy bubbles that dissipated very quickly to nothing. No lacing to speak of.
The smell strikes me as a slightly more malty version of your run of the mill American macro lager. There are some hops, some malts, but mostly it just has that generic 'beer' smell.
The first pull on this was light, refreshing and satisfying. There is a terrific balance between the light flavored malts and the grassy to citrus flavored hops. There is also just the slightest touch of yeasty fresh bread. The carbonation is quite light and the general disposition seems just a touch watery but still rather flavorful. There is just enough malt coming through that I would hesitate to call this 'dry' but it certainly isn't sweet. The finish is relatively quick and there is just a little bit of hoppy linger.
I found this to be incredibly drinkable. It just isn't too much of any one thing - just light and refreshing with just the right amount of flavor for the recipe. By the time I got to the bottom of the glass, I was really digging this brew.

Not impressed with this. I a big Sierra Nevada fan, their Pale Ale is what turned me on to better beers, and their Killerweiss is my favorite Hefe to date over several Germans I have tried. I was excited to try their Summerfest and was expecting a taste similar to Sam Adam's Summer Ale - crisp & somewhat citrusy. I took 1 sip of this beer and was disappointed. It iis a decent beer but it tastes like all the other mass produced crap.
Appearance is pretty standard, golden color, transparent with a slight head that reduces quickly.
Smell - not getting too much on the nostrils, but I am still new to reviewing beer....smells like the classic "beer" smell
Taste - slightly bitter and sour at the beginning and finishes with some malt. I am a fan of IPAs and like bitter, hoppy beer but this bitter isn't complex or floral.
Mouthfeel - medium body, not too thick, not too thin. Highly carbonated.
Drinkability - I honestly think this beer sucks but a lot of it is because I had high expectations of what I wanted it to taste like.
I usually will have 3-4 beers a night when I drink, but I am done after one of these and don't want anymore. I am going to try another one tomorrow and see if I come to the same conclusion. I may have gotten an old/bad batch as this is definitely not 'crisp' or 'refreshing.'

Appearance: Nice frothy pour. Golden color & transparent. Strong carbonation. Very light looking & refreshing.
Aroma: Malty with slight lemony hints? Smells similar to a German or Czech pils with that slightly skunky profile. Not too much to be found in the aroma.
Taste: Light, malty flavor with slight hop profile in the finish. Again, I note a slight lemony flavor....
Mouthfeel: Very light & crisp. Carbonation makes this very clean feeling on the way down. Very smooth...
Drinkability: Easy drinking! Good for a summer quaffer. Light, smooth & not overpowering.
Comments: I found this an enjoyable American pils in the German/Czech style, but nothing out of the ordinary. Good when looking for something light & easy drinking while staying with the domestic craft brewers.

This is a great warm weather brew from Sierra Nevada. If you are kicking back on a hot summer day, this is definantly a great choice. It poured a clear golden color with a nice white head that lasted awhile, leaving a decent lace down till the end. The malty characteristics really stood out in the smell, with some grassy and hoppy smells as well. The taste was a great summer balance between malt and hops, with the malt being the dominant flavor. As the beer warms a bit, the hops come through a bit more, and it tasted more balanced. All in all a great summer brew.

A: looks like a carbonated translucent. lemonade or Mellow Yellow. lots of carbonation though!
S: hints of lemon and orange zest, summertime!
T: minimal taste, hints of citrus flavor that are quickly gone and a soon afterthought.
MF/D: very thin, carbonation may be one of the only noticable traits of this beer.

Wow...I can't believe I haven't reviewed this one until now! Pours from the stubby bottle a brilliant clear bright sunshine yellow with a pillowy foam of white head. Active carbonation rises up in the glass. Aromas of clean, pale malts paired with a grassy, slightly citric hoppiness. Lemony graininess. Nothing to shout about but nice for the style.
First sip brings a crisp, lemony grainy pale maltiness accentuated by Euro hops (Saaz). Slighty spicy, grassy bitterness on the back of the palate along with a bit of citrus. A clean drinking lager that definetly fits in the summertime. Doesn't do anything to knock my socks off but is still an enjoyable brew.
Crisp mouthfeel is fairly light and refreshing with stable carbonation. This one is an easy drinker that would go down like water at a backyard barbecue. Worth seeking out if you're looking for an easy drinking, tasty lager.

Crystal clear yellow body, inially had a fizzy 1" white head that reduced down a thin bubble layer.
Aroma is quite pungent, moreso than expected. Nice floral and citrus hops with a kick of grass and straw. Light clean malts work in well. Flavor is a bit light initially but then some stronger hops come in at the finish. Typical lager flavor to start with, light malts with a bit of grain. Finish has some bitterness with some earthyness.
Flavor lingers on for a while but the mouthfeel is still leaning a bit towards the thinner side of things. Decent carbonation. Overall drinkable enough, its just a lighter beer than what most of us BAs usually shoot for. But regardless its good overall, could be one for the masses

Sierra Nevada's Summerfest is a lot like a "lighter" version of their famous Pale Ale. The scent is very similar, but it does not have the hoppy kick finish that the P.A. has. Like the name implies, this is a great warm-weather beer that goes down fun & easy. The drinkability is the most notable feature of this beer, as you can easily drink several of these without feeling too full.
It seems to me that Sierra Nevada Summerfest would also be a great "conversion" beer, meaning that I would highly recommend it if you are trying to get a friend or loved one (who normally drinks macro filth) into craft beer.

This is probably a great beer to drink on a hot summer day. It's a clear yellow with a medium head, nicely carbonated. It had a fresh, grainy odor, along with some fruitiness. A tangy citrus taste, with some hoppiness. A smooth,drinkable beer.
I'll try it again when it's 30 degrees warmer.

Overall an average beer. Poured nicely with a light, thin frosting that disappered rather rapidly. Aroma nice, althhough. I was overwhelmed with a bit of wheat. Taste was average, for some reason I was expecting a blonde ale. Good beer to go along with a fried seafood dish. Not a sesion beer. Stick with the pale ale. I am still searching for that perfect summer ale.

I have been a big fan of this beer ever since it switched to a lager.
Nicely balanced and oh so drinkable. SN's experience with being masters of hops is evident, as this beer is crisp without the hops getting out of hand (looking at you, Prima Pils!)
Frankly I can't get enough of this beer in the summer time and is my go-to summer quencher.

Local retailer must be trying to get rid of these as they were in the single bottle area. It poured a nice golden color, had a light fruity hop aroma , had a clean light taste, nicely bubbley and refreshing, flavors were bold and complex. Hope to get this sooner next year. A couple of these on the beach, hey where am I going?

Re: Super C
Just for sake of argument, have you measured the rear wheel tread? If your trailer is 8' wide, it should load up like it is. If not, once you break the bolts that hold the clamps on the axles loose, spray the axles down with your favorite penetrating oil and they should slide with little problem. Also, loosten the clamps pretty good. I can move the wheels on my 230 (later version of the Super C) right by myself in minutes. Also, I think it helps them move easier to have the wheel turned so the keyways are at the 9:00 and 3:00 position--and wire brush the keyways out to remove any accumulated crud....

Re: Super C
No update on the Super C yet. We've had a lot of rain and it's too muddy in the field to retrieve it. Hopefully early next week it will be dry enough........stay tuned. It's been soaking with PB Blaster and hopefully we can get the wheels in and the middle buster off so it will load up.
Re: Super C(Update)
Well the tractor is still sitting where we left it, and it's rained 15 or more inches in the last couple of weeks. But I have some time to go and attempt to get the rear wheels in so it can be trailered home. We have located the keepers on the hubs that appear to lock the hub down on the shaft, question is, once removed or loosened, can the wheels be moved in without jacking the rear up? We have put a lot of penetrant in the hub areas and have considered using a "come along" to winch the wheels inward. The ground is still so moist that I doubt being able to raise even one side at a time. Any ideas or techniques....or wait until the ground dries out and jack the rear end up.
Re: Super C (Update)
Harold - the only way you are going to get those hubs to move is to get the weight off of them. If you use a come-along to apply some pull you will likely still need to do some "tapping" with a big hammer to break them free of the rust bond. If you do use the come-along apply the pull evenly so you don't bind the wheel on the axle.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Re: Super C (Update)
Harold, I assume a C/Super C is like an H, if so there are bolts both on the inside and outside of the wheel that lock the clamps in place. If you have some thing like a disk blade or old disk plow blade to put under your jack, it will spread the weigh out and reduce sinking. If you take the wheels off will just the center disk be narrow enough to fit on the trailer? You could put down some boards and winch it on rolling on just the centerc of the wheels. I have known a lot of tractor salvage guys to load them that way when the tires/rims were too bad to roll.

Re: Super C (Update)
Looks like it has to be raised. I could have swung a sledge hammer all day and not budge those wheels. I might could go back with some planking and maybe use a jack on that.......but I guess I need to be patient a little longer. Just standing in the same spot started bringing water out of the soil. My trailer is only 6 1/2 ft wide......I didn't think to measure just the rims........that might work.....even let one side hang just over the rail if it wouldn't drag the ground. I might look into renting a flat bed trailer or even hiring a wrecker service with one of those Jerr-Dan beds that tilt down. Stay tuned.....I'll figure this out.
Re: Super C (Update)
Now that you mention it, I imagine you could get someone with a flatbead tow truck to drag it home for you for under a $100. That still makes it a good deal.
Re: Super C (Update)
Yeah, after swing a sledge hammer while standing in mud......I got the same notion.
Re: Super C (Update)
Let the fun begin!!!!
It wasn't easy to get this out of the field and to it's new home, but I feel it was worth it. It finally dried out enough to go get it, but my 12 ton bottle jack pick a bad day to start bypassing, leaving us no way to raise the back end to get the tires in. But ,after brain storming for a few minutes, we came up with the idea of rolling the tractor until the locking keepers were at the top of the hub, removing them, and then running a chain through the wheel and pulling the tractor sideways to bring the axle through the hub. And as you can see......it worked. I've had some time to look the tractor over now, since I can spend less time looking for snakes and biting bugs, and I got questions! Yes, I'm purchasing manuals....but until they get here......how about an oil dip stick? I see a lot of similarities with the cub, which leads me to believe I can get this thing going. My primary goal this week is to determind just how stuck the engine is. Everything looks real straight on this tractor, so just some light sand-blasting and priming should take care of the tin. The clutch feels like it's working, but I haven't been on it while moving it to see. The trans. goes into all gears....so maybe I'll get lucky there as well. I'll keep updating if there's interest, and I'm sure I'll have questions not covered in the manuals. Last question for today........in the pics below, on the light bar, there's two things clamped on that look like rear rifle sights.........some sort of row markers????
Re: Super C (Update)
Looks like a good find. Look on the left side of the oil pan for 2 plugs. The lower is the full level for oil.

I have imported 3 GEDCOM files of portions of the family, no duplicates. I have managed to connect two of these files by family research and I have a huge chunk (80% of the overall database) which is related within itself but is of no interest to me. How could I get rid of these 5000 names who originated in one GEDCOM file? it is very frustrating because smartsearch shows hits on these irrelevant persons
Plz help
Same opinion here.
It is VERY inconvenient to manually select en alter a large amount of persons in ones tree.
It would also be nice just to select multiple persons just by drag and drop with your mouse in the visible tree.
Please Myheritage, solve this!
Thank you for the feedback and the comments.
It is indeed a very good idea, it has been forward to the responsible department for consideration.
Have a great day!
REMEMBER to make a backup of the WHOLE library (on your computer) of your files saved with version 7.129 BEFORE you update to the new version!!!!! You might run into problems with the update resulting in NOT beeing able to open your tree.
the Swede in Spain
as a user of V6-- and aprhensive of V7 -- (tried it once before and got issues) I am curious to see that thre are STILL issues that alert me to wonder - if I should try it again or-- just keep my large database safe.
I think Jack (the swed) may be a little sensitive but as always he is very well versed in things FTB.
Anyone got suggestions as to should I or should I not
Terry R Hood
I´m not sensitive BUT after using MH/FTB for a long time and having a LOT of troubles with large DB:s and photos (uploading them) and the fact that it takes me 5 or more minutes to update/edit/add a record..... I beleive that is NOT sensitivity, pure stating a fact. Why do you think MH has marked me as Poweruser? ;-)))))))))))))))))))))))) And as an anwer to your qustion. Yes update but follow my advice and keep a copy of the FTB program that is working so you can revert to it. I have version 7 build 7138 installed and it is working as expected (WIN 8.1) with the above mentioned problems and we are talking about a tree with about 185 00 records and 6 700 photos.
The Swede in Spain.
Sensititivty may have been the wrong word- certainly you inspire others by your work and your forum posting, I thinkw we users are aware that you are running a big Db and suffer the issues that it contrives
My DB is perhaps only 1/3 of yours- but I too have experienced the dark side of uprating only to find myself further back than I thought possible.
V7 scared me some time ago, but I do realise that we must move on- otherwise we would all still have a slate board with white chalk and use an abbacuss.
I do wonder though, as I run Vista as my windows- if THAT is an issue I should address BEFORE switching up to V7.
I respect your opinion Jack- so what do you think of MY situation.
Teery H
What you have to think of if you move to newer OS (Win 7 or 8) is that your computer then may need more memory. I used a Vista machine with 1 or 2 Gb memory and it was SLOW. Had 1 browser window, FTB and an archive viewer for church books running. I have now one Win7 machine with 8Gb which has no problems and one Win8 machine with only problem with the user interface :)
So if you update to MH v7 and that in turn force you to update to Win 7 or 8 which could in turn force you to add more memory. You might consider to by a new computer where you get both new Win and more memory and better CPU. The cost could be about the same.
The Lifecycle for Vista ends 2017, for Win7 2020 and for Win8 2023. XP ended this year.
Thanks Andres for your concept thouhts.
I had not really considered the "big" picture and you are logic in the update process. I think a PC replace with the latest win and ample memory may be the preferred direction to allow FTB to operate at a resonable level, thank you for your insight.
Now to persude the Mrs..
Terry H
Well, I use both the latest version of FTB (7,0 build 7129) and Win 8.1 and have no problems with that. Try a reinstallation of FTB.
Every time I try to add a note (whether in marriage, birth etc) it goes to the "note" screen and then automatically crashes the program, saying the software has stopped working and then only giving you the option to "close program".
Please help as I have a lot of notes I want to add!
I have got a new laptop and had to download FTB again so not sure if that is anything to do with it, or whether there is a bug in the program.
PS also when I close the program and go back in, it does not go the tree that I was working on, but the tree that I had worked on previously!
Hi Tracey,
When you are re-opening FTB the program should give you a choice of which tree to load.
That sounds like a corrupt installation of FTB to me on your new laptop. This does sometimes happen!
IF that is the case, only a complete removal and fresh installation would cure it, repair is not an option!
I have uninstalled and downloaded again and it is still shutting down everytime I go in to notes???
Help please! I need this sorting!
Not sure which one of the few ways you are attempting to enter the notes mode.
The simplest way i find is this....
Withe the FTB opened on laptop, i click "Tree" icon on top, then i centralize the person concerned in my tree.
In their visible box within the tree, i click the 4th icon above their name, this is their "Notes" icon.
Their box shows empty unless i have already entered something.
Now, i place my mouse anywhere in that blank space and double click, which opens the "Notes" mode for editing.
Hope that works for you!
Hi Jim
It doesn't work. As soon as you double click it closes down.
Hi Tracy,
Thank you for your message.
In order for me to check the scenario you described regarding the software that crashes, I would need some further information from your account.
I wrote you a private message, please answer me in private, since this required information that should not be posted in the public forum.
Jim - Thank you for your help regarding this matter.
Best Regards
That is almost certainly a corrupt version of the software then.
Err! When you removed the original version from your pc, you did download a fresh program again i hope and not just reinstall the same one from your first download?

Speaking of CES, while down on location in Vegas we we also recorded an awesome video overview of Slacker Mobile Application for BlackBerry smartphones by the company's Director of Marketing Communications (video after the jump).
Slacker Radio Plus: While Slacker Personal Radio on its own is awesome and free, upgrading to the Radio Plus Service provides a few big benefits, including unlimited skips, unlimited song requests and no audio or banner ads. The cost to upgrade is $3.99 per month (billed annually at $47.88).
Contest Time: Sweet! Slacker is offering us up 25 1-month subscriptions to Radio Plus to members of CrackBerry.com, so you can really take Radio Plus for an extended test drive. For your chance to win, you only need to do two things:
Contest entry closes Thursday night at midnight EST. The bad news is that Slacker is only in the USA, so that limits the the contest a bit (sorry readers from Canada and around the world!). Good luck to those who enter! Be sure to visit Slacker.com for more info and to register your account if you haven't done so already.

Leaving my comment for the contest!
not4no1 Feb 3, 2009 at 10:14 am
I use Slacker everyday & love it. I also have introduced many other BB owners to Slacker & they also use it on a daily basis. The only thing better would be Slacker Radio Plus!
TheItalianOne Feb 3, 2009 at 10:16 am
Slacker for me!
ogpanic1 Feb 3, 2009 at 10:16 am

cubbiesfan37 Feb 3, 2009 at 10:17 am
I love the sound quality slacker puts out. Its the BEST and would recommend it to everybody over Sirius/XM or whatever!
xquestx Feb 3, 2009 at 10:18 am
I love slacker radio, the caching is awesome.
nate8u Feb 3, 2009 at 10:19 am

adrianmayer Feb 3, 2009 at 10:20 am
Great service. Nice if I win a free month, but hard to get to excited about $3.99
bg0508 Feb 3, 2009 at 10:21 am
Haha, cache'ing stations as I type....luv to have Slacker Radio plus.
spelletier Feb 3, 2009 at 10:23 am
Slacker is a great service and I would like premium service!! Can't wait to have the Slacker App for the Storm.
jmcnutt0307 Feb 3, 2009 at 10:21 am
Thats not a bad give a way
randmthought Feb 3, 2009 at 10:22 am

I love slacker... every morning I wake up and use the create artist to find some comedy to start my day with a laugh.
When I work out I usually create a station with Europe or ac/dc.
Just love it.
The Antagonist Feb 3, 2009 at 10:24 am
I wanna be a Slacker too!!! Love it on my Storm and looking forward to a Storm specific version.
bsting Feb 3, 2009 at 10:25 am
Slacker & CB?? I'm never going to get any work done!
DPinMD Feb 3, 2009 at 10:25 am
I can't get it on my BB! :( It tells me I need to upgrade my OS, but I'm on a Mac, so evidently I can't upgrade my OS without buying some other software to allow me to run Windows on my Mac. Seems like too much of a hassle/expense for "free" radio. (Can anyone suggest another option?)
herooftimeloz#CB Feb 3, 2009 at 10:25 am
Please pick me!
I looooooove this app!
samundsen Feb 3, 2009 at 10:27 am
I use Slacker on my BB Pearl daily. Best thing that has ever happened on the BB.

I have never used the radio option on my bb, so I would LOVE to be able to give it a try for free!!
Papa.pompous Feb 3, 2009 at 10:30 am
Awesome contest! I have been wanting to try out the premium edition since this app came out. I listen to it after work everyday to help calm me down. Great app and thanks to Slacker and Crackberry for this contest!

I have been using the free version of Slcker for awhile. I have been thinking of upgrading but still unsure. This would be perfect for me to give it a test drive before forking out the loot.

I love slacker =). Works great on my storm.
tnewton3 Feb 3, 2009 at 10:35 am
I use it daily, not having the commercials would be sweet for a month. I wonder if it's just a free month straight up or if there is any sort of stipulation. We will see.
Fearnot Feb 3, 2009 at 10:35 am

jackie treehorn Feb 3, 2009 at 10:36 am

JavaDevelop Feb 3, 2009 at 11:11 am
I have been using Slacker on my PC for over a year and love it. It's made by the same team that developed MusicMatch in the early'ish Internet days.
Now, having Slacker on my BB Storm (although, it's not officially released on the Storm yet), is like a dream come true. I love this software and the music selection/quality is top notch.
I'm going to have to subscribe and try this service out. Looks really cool.

After I found out XM charges extra for the "privileged" to stream your account on your Blackberry and Sirius, the service I actually have, doesn't even OFFER it, I stumbled on Slacker.
Slacker is leagues better than satellite radio, and it's making me consider whether I should just cancel Sirius and switch to a premium account with the better service.
Darthstorm528 Feb 3, 2009 at 11:27 am
I love Slacker since I have downloaded to my BB and so much better than Flycast.

Been using Slacker for a long while in the office. We Have a dedicated laptop ripping out the tunes all day long. In our office we have very different tastes in music but Slacker deliverers. Now that I have it on my BB the Ipod gets less of a work out, in the car or just on the go. I can not wait for Summer to crank it up on the boat.
bbboozer Feb 3, 2009 at 11:39 am
Constantly at work, All my people under me have it on there bb cause of me! I love it!
Billy From Philly Feb 3, 2009 at 11:39 am
I just recently got my first Blackberry (Storm)...and i had been signed up on CB for at least 3 months prior to my purchase.....
i've been quite happy with BOTH decisions. I've poked around on slacker....and so far, i'm liking the service.....i'd LOVE to have a plus sub, to further see what slacker has to offer.
I ready for my free subscription!
DonJoseofOrange Feb 3, 2009 at 11:42 am
Slacker runs really well on my 8320, its so user friendly and the idea of cache radio content is genius!

I've had Slacker for a month or so now and it's great when I'm at work. I would love to try the plus sub, maybe it will convince me to actually subscribe =)
sml20exel Feb 3, 2009 at 11:59 am
It's had that "storm support coming soon" for over a month now! It would be a great thing in my phone but I can settle for just computer support for the time being. Now that I found the Last.fm support it really is the perfect radio for me.

jborfeo Feb 3, 2009 at 12:05 pm
I currently am enjoying the free version, wouldn't mind giving the full version a test drive!
johnnymac Feb 3, 2009 at 12:06 pm
I bought the one year's subscription already, but I could surely use another month added on! Hook me up!
I think Slacker (and other similar streaming apps) will eventually kill standalone portable media players. Here's why:
While yes hard drives (and flash for that matter) have gotten bigger and bigger, there is a physical limit at the high end that will be reached. Having UNLIMITED music available via streaming (or cached) is far better.
I have about 3000 songs on my device, with a 16Gb Micro SD card. While I have a lot of tunes, that's still a tiny percentage of what's out there (kinda the same as above). I can create stations on the fly, get all sorts of related music that I might otherwise not have purchased - so better.
Bottom line - I'm finding my music usage is quickly trending towards all Slacker, all the time.
Love it.
buckifvr Feb 3, 2009 at 12:06 pm
I think Slacker is an awesome app. I hope I win so I can try out the "Plus" service.
Jeff2jay Feb 3, 2009 at 12:09 pm
The free version is sweet, Premium would rock.
insanely Feb 3, 2009 at 12:11 pm
i don't have an FM radio in my wrangler because i broke off the antenna...so i use slacker as my "FM radio" when i want to listen to something besides CD's or my MP3's.
keith2k1 Feb 3, 2009 at 12:11 pm
I have a Bold and I must say the sound quality of Slacker is better than my XM service. It would be cool to win a month of servcie.

SLACKER NATION!!!!! I use it more and more everyday and have turned a bunch of my friends on to it!! Best music out there!!!
thebikeman02 Feb 3, 2009 at 12:13 pm

thebikeman02 Feb 3, 2009 at 12:14 pm
I used Pandora on my iPhone but when I switched to a Blackberry Bold downloaded Slacker and it's definitely one of the best apps out there!

This is one of the best applications on the Blackberry. I have the same app on my iphone but its not the same since I can't minimize it and do other tasks. Also the caching feature is amazing!

T3Jlewis Feb 3, 2009 at 12:49 pm
I'm a manager of an AT&T local dealer retail store and I cannot tell you how many times Slacker's radio service alone has helped me seal the deal in selling Blackberry phones. I can only imagine if I had the Slacker Radio Plus service how many more people would be stunned by this amazing music app! Thanks Slacker and Crackberry!
blindguy Feb 3, 2009 at 12:49 pm
I listen to it every day!
Thanks for a great app.

CNHI News Service
DULUTH, Minn. — A University of Minnesota Duluth student suffered severe hypothermia and could lose her hands after she passed out on a freezing porch in subzero temperatures with only a jacket and boots to protect her from the cold.
According to KMSP-TV, Alyssa Jo Lommel, a 19-year-old sophomore from St. Cloud, Minn., had reportedly been dropped off near her home after a night of drinking, and ended up unconscious on a neighbor's porch. Overnight temperatures in Duluth dropped to -17 degrees, with a wind chill of -36.
KMSP reported that Duluth police issued a statement saying Lommel had been playing a drinking game with friends and may have consumed more than 10 tequila shots.
An unidentified friend who drove Lommel home told officers that amount was "no more than usual" for Lommel, and that she "wasn't falling-down drunk," the Duluth News Tribune reported.
But her friends did not stay to see if she went inside, and her roommates did not notice she was missing when they returned home a few hours later, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
She was on the neighbor's porch for more than nine hours until a passer-by noticed her and called police. Lommel was transported to two separate hospitals, and remained in stable but critical condition Wednesday.
Lommel was not wearing gloves, and the cold caused her hands to swell up to three times their normal size. Doctors performed surgery to improve blood flow, in hopes of avoiding amputation.
"It's very much a wait-and-see thing at the moment," Lommel's mother told the St. Cloud Times. "We are hopeful that her body will heal itself."
The University of Minnesota-Duluth Police Department also released its own statement urging students venturing outside to "travel in groups."

Oceania Exclusive Tour
For those travelers who prefer an added measure of intimacy and flexibility, we are pleased to offer our new Oceania Exclusive tours. With a minimum of 10 guests and a maximum capacity of just 16 guests, each tour benefits from a higher level of personal attention and the added flexibility and agility that come from traveling in a small group.
Oceania Exclusive tours are available for a specially selected number of tours in almost every port we visit, in every corner of the world.
The inspiring Tuscan countryside provides an idyllic backdrop for the drive to Florence. In this historic city on the Arno River, you will first visit the Academy of Fine Arts, home to Michelangelo's magnificent statue of David, a masterpiece carved from a single block of marble. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, begun in 1296, also stands as testimony of the genius of Florence's artists. Most famous is the work of Renaissance architect Brunelleschi, who designed its crowning glory, a massive octagonal cupola, or Duomo, as the cathedral is commonly called. Adjacent to the Cathedral, you will see the painter Giotto's superb 14th century Campanile or bell tower, and the Romanesque Baptistry with Ghiberti's stunningly bronze doors, aptly entitled the Gates of Paradise. Equally spectacular is Santa Croce, Italy's largest and most famous Franciscan Gothic church, where many of Italy's most illustrious citizens are entombed, including Michelangelo, Galileo, Rossini, and Machiavelli. One of the church's most famous works of art is Donatello's Annunciation, his moving sculpture in gilded and carved stone. This tour also allows ample free time for further exploration of Florence, a city that has served as a muse to so many artists.
Please note: Suitable attire is required to enter churches and monasteries, shorts and dresses above the knee are not permitted. On Sundays, no churches will be visited in the morning. The Academy of Fine Arts is closed on Mondays. It will be replaced with a visit to the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo. The order of sites visited may vary. This tour involves extensive walking, approximately 3 hours and is not considered suitable for wheelchair guests or for guests with mobility concerns. An official guide joins the tour in Florence.

The nation's system of higher education is growing more racially polarized even as it attracts more minorities: White students are increasingly clustering at selective institutions, while blacks and Hispanics are mostly attending open-access and community colleges, according to a new report.
The paths offer widely disparate opportunities and are leading to widely disparate outcomes, said the report released Wednesday by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce.
Students at the nation's top 468 colleges are the beneficiaries of much more spending — anywhere from two to five times what is spent on instruction at open-access and community colleges. And students at top schools are far more likely to graduate than students from other institutions, even when they are equally prepared, according to the report. In addition, graduates of top schools are far more likely than others to go on to graduate school.
The financial implications of those differences are huge: A worker with an advanced degree is expected to earn an average of $2.1 million more in his or her lifetime than a non-graduate, the report said. Also, the report said graduates of selective colleges earn an average of $67,000 a year 10 years after graduation, about $18,000 a year more than their counterparts who graduate from nonselective schools.
"The American postsecondary system increasingly has become a dual system of racially separate pathways, even as overall minority access to the postsecondary system has grown dramatically," said Jeff Strohl, the Georgetown center's director of research, who co-authored the report.
The report focused on a comparison of whites to Hispanic and African American students. Data on the experiences of Asian American and Native American students were too limited for an identical analysis, the authors said.
The report raises disturbing questions about the efficacy of higher education policies pursued by a long line of presidents aiming to encourage more Americans to attend college. President Barack Obama has talked about improved access to higher education as a means of closing the nation's growing income inequality. But the Georgetown report illustrates that higher education is doing more to replicate inequality than eliminate it.

Virginia Wind Activities
This page summarizes wind activities in Virginia.
Wind Working Group
State Wind Working Groups form strategic alliances to communicate wind's benefits and challenges to state stakeholders.
Anemometer Loan Program
Anemometer data can help businesses, farmers, homeowners, and municipalities determine whether there is enough wind energy at a site to make a wind turbine investment economically feasible. Such data can also aid windfarm developers in determining whether an area is suitable for developing a large, utility-scale wind plant.
80-Meter Wind Map
The wind map can be used as a guide to identify regions for commercial wind development.
90-Meter Offshore Wind Map
The wind map can be used as a guide to identify regions for commercial wind development.
Small Wind Consumer's Guide
This guide provides consumers with information to help them determine whether a small wind electric system can provide all or a portion of the energy they need for their home or business based on their wind resource, energy needs, and economics.

Home Run Derby is going global
Popular All-Star event will have a new format this year
Baseball is becoming more global every year, and so is one of its most eye-opening showcases.Major League Baseball announced on Friday that the annual CENTURY 21 Home Run Derby, one of the main spectacles of All-Star Weekend, will feature an international wrinkle this year. On Monday, July 11, players from eight nations around the globe will represent their native homelands in the Derby. The players -- and countries -- will be announced next week. The new format was designed to celebrate the inaugural World Baseball Classic, which is scheduled for March 2006 and will consist of 16 national teams highlighting the best players in the world competing for their home countries. The four-round tournament will be staged at various sites in Asia, Latin America and the United States. Countries expected to participate are Australia, Canada, China, Chinese Taipei, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico, South Africa, United States, and Venezuela. Opening Day rosters for the 30 Major League Baseball clubs, which consisted of 25-man rosters and disabled lists, included 242 players born outside the 50 United States. In total, 29.2 percent of the 829 players (750 active and 79 disabled) on rosters as of April 4 were born outside the United States. The Dominican Republic led all countries with 91 players, while Venezuela ranked second with 46 and Puerto Rico was third with 34. Last year's Home Run Derby champion was Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada, who launched a record-total of 27 big flies -- including 15 in the second round alone -- at Houston's Minute Maid Park. But it looks like the superstar from the Dominican Republic won't be defending his title this year at Comerica Park. He suggested Saturday that fellow countryman David Ortiz take his place. "That's enough," Tejada said when asked whether he wanted to compete again. "I vote for (Ortiz). I want David to be the guy. David Ortiz is our home run king in the Dominican. I am going to suggest that he represent us in the derby. He leads the league in home runs, and he is the best power hitter from the Dominican." In addition to Ortiz, other Dominican-born sluggers for consideration include teammate Manny Ramirez, Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols and last year's All-Star Game MVP, Alfonso Soriano of the Texas Rangers. Like the Dominican, the United States has no shortage of power choices, including Alex Rodriguez, Derrek Lee, Adam Dunn, Cliff Floyd and Mark Teixeira, who have combined to hit more than 100 home runs so far this season. Canada appears to have its man already in Pirates standout Jason Bay. Though no official announcement has been made, the 27-year-old from British Columbia said Saturday that he will be participating in the Derby. "They asked me if I would represent Canada, so I'm going regardless," said Bay, who leads the Pirates in batting average, runs, hits, doubles, home runs, on-base percentage and slugging. "They asked me about a week ago, but they still have some finalization to do." Tigers catcher Ivan Rodriguez will represent Puerto Rico.
"I'm not a home-run hitter," Rodriguez said. "I'll just try to do the best that I can. I'll love to represent the people of Puerto Rico, but the people just need to know I'm not a power hitter."
Rodriguez has an advantage, however. He's also the only one with an in-depth knowledge of spacious Comerica Park, both where long balls go out and where they go to die. Towards that end, he joked that he might have his 13-year-old son Dereck stand in center field and point out for sluggers where to hit the ball.
"It's a big park," he said, "but if you hit the ball to left field, the ball will carry."
Rodriguez participated in one other Home Run Derby five years ago at Atlanta's Turner Field. His struggles began before he even stepped to the plate.
"First of all, my bat never came," Rodriguez said, "so I hit with somebody else's bat, heavy. And it was humid, hot."
If Japan gets a shot, Yankee slugger Hideki Matsui comes to mind, but it would be interesting to see how the multi-talented Ichiro Suzuki would fare if asked to only hit long balls.Other possibilities with international ties include the the Marlins' Miguel Cabrera and the Phillies' Bobby Abreu (Venezuela); the Brewers' Carlos Lee (Panama); and the Major Leagues' current home run leader, Andruw Jones of the Braves (Curacao, a protectorate of the Netherlands). Whatever the lineup might be, expect plenty of fireworks in Motown come July 11. "If you get the opportunity, you want to hit as many home runs as you can," Pujols said after his 2003 Derby display at Chicago's U.S. Cellular Field, where he fell just short of Derby winner and All-Star Game MVP Garret Anderson. "You never know. That's the idea. In the Home Run Derby, you never know." The Derby, part of Gatorade All-Star Workout Day, will be covered extensively at MLB.com and televised live on ESPN beginning at 8 p.m. ET. Last season, the Derby drew 7.7 million viewers.
