Poured from can. Some citrus hops aroma. Cloudy amber appearance with white head. Light bitter taste. Light body, oily texture, average carbonation. Overall a very nice and refreshing brew.

pours and orangey haze, one finger head, didnt expect a foamy mountain or anything, given that the style is more suited to a short head, obviously unfiltered, pretty cloudy,
orangey , almost golden brown.
very faint. doesnt have a nose to speak of really, but no nose is better than a foul one.
slight hint of grain, but it dissipates much like the head, very quickly.
this is where it gets interesting, its sharp, and malty, not bitter what so ever
until the after taste , which is nice and bitter, and short enough to keep me wanting it.
has a hint of vegetable, maybe carrot, but not over powering, very tastey.
not over stated in any way.
sharp, as the taste, but not overly so. very lightly carbbed, which is unexpected.
no rising bubbles or anything.. very light. very drinkable.
me and the unfiltered beer have a mixed history, i dislike alot of beers in this style , but i respect creemore, and have greatly enjoyed their other offerings. I purchased a sampler type box of three sorts of creemore, this is the only i havent tried and Iam already a big fan of the pilsner , and the pretty average lager didnt leave any lasting impressions, but i recall it being quaffable, and not at all off putting, just lacking charectar maybe.. anyway, not sure if they sell this keller seperate from the sampler, as I've never seen it. but it was the deciding factor for me, creemore is a great brewer, my only complaint is that its slightly "simple". the pilsner is the best of the offerings, but given a couple of others to experiment with, my thoughts may change in this. this keller is great, and though Im new to the style, I like it alot.

473 ml can purchased from LCBO for $2.80 CDN. Been looking for this awhile every since I had the hacker-pschorr kellerbier, and enjoyed greatly. Served well chilled into pint glass.
Appearance - bright clear orange hued beer. Significant amount of visible bubbles. Wonderous frothy 2 finger head with good retention time and tons of sticky lacing. Really attractive.
Smell - earthy aroma with a coarse grain smell. Pleasant and slightly dank but like with my other limited experience with this style of beer, hard to nail down aromas.
Taste - earthy flavour, some some slightly sweet melon-esque flavour. Peppery on the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - smooth feel and moderately dry finish, but just coarse enough to give it a substantial presence. Medium - low carbonation.
Overall - a really nice beer in the style that is bright and lively. Good full flavour and well rounded. A repeat purchase.

473ml can into nonic. packaged on april 22, 2014. enjoyed on june 1, 2014
a: hazy golden orange with three fingers of quickly-diminishing head from an aggressive pour
s: almost no aroma? i'm just getting hints of grass, yeast, and floral hops
t: that's more like it. really clean malt flavours, with some mild leafy bitterness (almost like an iced tea), yeast, and slight lemon as well. finishes sour with subtle apple flavours. really pleasant stuff
m: medium body, medium carbonation
o: a clean-drinking, easy-going beer. extremely lacking in the aroma department but it tastes great

Creemore Springs is a microbrewery located in Creemore, Ontario, which opened for business in 1987.The brewery is known for avoiding the use of preservatives during its brewing process with no pasteurization afterwards. Water used in the production process comes exclusively from an artesian well which is trucked from the source to the brewery daily. Creemore Springs was acquired by Molson on April 22, 2005. In 2009, Creemore Springs applied for planning permission to expand its plant by 60% in order to triple their brewing capacity to 150,000 hectolitres per year, but as of March 2011 the plan was being opposed by some local residents who planned to take their case to the Ontario Municipal Board.
On this occasion we tried their Kellerbier in a 473 ml can. Kellerbier is 5.0% alcohol by volume and is brewed in small batches using a direct fired kettle, with German whole leaf hops added late in the process. Kellerbier poured a cloudy amber colour (it is an unfiltered beer) with just over one centimeter of off-white head that did not dissipate quickly. There was very little lacing down the glass. The best characteristic of this beer for me was the aroma, floral hops and yeast with a bit of spice...very nice. The mouth feel was neither thin nor creamy, with some tingling on the tongue from the carbonation. Kellerbier's taste was pretty much as advertised by the aroma, starting with the hops and a slightly yeasty flavour, finishing with a moderate, dry bitterness. I would certainly drink this beer again.
As a quick aside I love the brewery's motto: "Proudly 100 years behind the times". If only we could buy its Kellerbier at 100 year old prices!

Purchased at the LCBO 473ml can for just under $3.00. Served at 6deg C in a draught glass.
A- Opened well. Poured with an excellent golden hue. Unfiltered cloudy.

O- Pretty good. Appearance and mouth feel really bring this one up
Food Pairing
This nice little beer paired well with... cured meat and cheese.

MILWAUKEE -- Elsie Schultz was diagnosed with breast cancer on her 62nd birthday -- Aug. 24, 1990. Six months later, she was gone.Now, two decades later, her daughter is campaigning for funds and awareness for a disease that the American Cancer Society says will afflict more than 225,000 American women in 2012. Ellen Melvin, wife of the longtime Brewers' general manager, Doug Melvin, has spent the past five years doing her small part to keep that number from growing. "It's 21 years now that my mom is gone," Ellen Melvin said. "She was caring, loving, my best friend. But what we've gotten out of it, my sister and I, is early detection is so important. That's why Doug and I felt it would be good to try to help support breast cancer prevention programs." It was actually Doug Melvin's idea, Ellen said, on one of those sleepless nights so common for a GM. The next morning, he suggested that she turn her neighborhood Bunko group into something of a breast cancer task force.
Ellen started with a gathering of about 30 donors in a suite at Miller Park, with food and a raffle that raised about $22,000."We were thrilled with that," she said. It grew and grew. The next year, the event moved to one of the ballpark's larger party suites. Eventually, they took up two suites, and the raffles grew larger. Now, Ellen and her daughter, Ashley, have a full-blown program in place -- the Step Up to the Plate Initiative -- with programs throughout the year that together have raised nearly $340,000 for various breast cancer organizations. Doug Melvin is involved -- the original "Pink Tie Guy" at a fundraising cocktail reception that last year featured Robin Yount. Ellen Melvin donated $100,000 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a leading breast cancer charity, in 2010. Last year, she gave $50,000 to Komen and $50,000 to After Breast Cancer Diagnosis (ABCD), an organization that helps women and families cope in the difficult months following a diagnosis. "Now, we dream big," Ellen said.
This year, Ellen and Doug Melvin, with the Brewers Community Foundation, will serve as the presenting sponsors for the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse, an event in its 15th year that raises funds for breast cancer and prostate cancer research at the Medical College of Wisconsin. A professionally-decorated mansion on Milwaukee's East Side will open for tours from June 2-17, with proceeds benefitting the cause.
Over the last 14 years, similar tours have raised $4.4 million for cancer research.
"I think Ellen has been amazing in her consistent commitment to the cause," said Cecelia Gore, the Brewers Community Foundation's executive director. "Who wants to think of their mother dying? For her to turn that into a legacy is extraordinary. She recognizes that she and Doug have a powerful voice, and we're happy to partner with them."
Her work has connected Melvin to hundreds of survivors, and many more family members of those lost. Melvin has experienced more personal pain; three years ago, her best friend Laurie Berk died at 59 after battling breast cancer for 25 years."She was one strong gal, I'll tell you," Melvin said. Melvin hopes she provides strength to others. "You know what people are going through," she said. "My mom only had three chemo treatments because she was so sick, but with my friend Laurie, I was there with her through so much more. PET scans and CAT scans and MRIs and chemo, so I'm more educated now than when my mom was diagnosed. "I've learned you can't be afraid to call on someone for support, and you also can't be afraid to call someone [who is ill] and just tell them you are thinking about them. Sometimes, people are afraid. But a phone call -- 'Hey, I'm here' -- that matters." Her efforts have grown dramatically since that first ladies group fundraiser, but Melvin's core message remains simple: Early detection is the key to beating breast cancer. "When my mom was diagnosed, the disease was already so far advanced, it had already metastasized. It was already too late," Ellen Melvin said. "It happened so quick. We know first-hand with my mom; if she had been diagnosed sooner, she might still be here. We don't know." What would Elsie Schultz think if she saw her daughter now? "I think she would be really proud," Melvin said. "I know my dad is so proud when he sees what we're doing. If we can save one life by educating people, by preaching early detection, it's all worth it."

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Authorities say they're seeing an alarming increase in heroin trafficking in West Virginia.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said Thursday that while prescription drugs represent the biggest crime problem in West Virginia's southern district, heroin seizures have increased more than fourfold from 2011 to 2012.
Scott Masumoto of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration says prescription drugs sold on the street can cost $80 per pill or more. That makes it difficult for teenagers to sustain their addictions, so they are moving to "cheaper" alternatives such as heroin.
Federal statistics show West Virginia has the second-highest rate of drug overdose deaths in the nation.
They spoke during prescription drug seminars held in Charleston and Huntington. Other speakers included U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, Congressman Nick Rahall and White House Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske.

Elderly day care services face the axe in East Lancashire
5:00pm Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News By Peter Magill, Chief reporter
DAYTIME support services in East Lancashire are set to be merged or axed – amid claims of a poor take-up by senior citizens.
Less than half of the places are being taken up at some social services currently provided for the county council by Age UK Lancashire.
County officials say they cannot identify which services are under threat, for legal reasons, but Age UK is behind a host of services in Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle, Ribble Valley and Rossendale.
These include Community Links, where over-65s are encouraged to join social groups, Eastern Lives, which assists Asian-heritage older people and health trainers, who offer lifestyle assistance.
County councillor Tony Martin, cabinet member for adult and community services, said more and more people were taking their own personal budgets and choosing where they spent it which often meant in the local community on things like exercise classes, lunch clubs and adult education. He said: "In response to these changing demands, we are working with Age UK Lancashire and other organisations to modernise our daytime support in the east of the county.
"Some of the services currently available have only had 50 per cent take-up for the past year or more; clearly changes need to be made.
"We will, of course, be talking to the remaining people and their families who still use these services about how a personal budget would best meet their daytime support needs in the future."
The changes will come into effect when various Age UK contracts expire at the end of March.
The past two years has seen day care centres offered by the authority, either centrally or in partnership with the NHS, shut at Colne's Stanley Villas, Accrington Wellbeing Centre and Clitheroe Community Hospital.

No wonder that Dr. Shikha Pitalia, Director of SSP Health and Chair of United League Commissioning, based in the North West is excited with government plans to so-called "modernise" the NHS.
It is organisations such as United League Commissioning which are behind the current hysteria concerning the necessity of reducing National Health Service hospital admissions.
Their private business is profitting from, and using using as a front, NHS facilities which are being deliberately under-funded and under-resourced to the tune of £20 billion, on the advice of consultants McKinsey.
The latest situation concerning a GP practice in Accrington, Lancashire is typical.
Despite the fact that Accrington's Victoria Health Access Centre has an excellent reputation according to its patients: ( http://www.nhs.uk/Se
d=41630) East Lancashire Clinical Commissioning Group (ELCCG) -which of course has absolutely no connection with United League Commissioning- has surprise surprise, launched a so-called "consultation" on primary care in Hyndburn, warning that "…financial pressures mean some services may have to be cut…"
And who will be hiding in the wings to come to the rescue?…that's right, husband and wife team Drs. Shikha and Sanjay Pitalia of SSP Health.
It is because of people such as them that GPs are leaving the NHS.
Here is an article by one such GP.
"It's been an amazing privilege working as a family doctor. I am trusted with the long-term care and health of sometimes four generations, and I have tried to help with their most intimate and complex problems, sometimes shared only with me. It's the best job in medicine, and the NHS was the best place to practice.
So why am I retiring early? Because for several years I've fought the dismantling of the founding principles of Bevan's NHS and on 1 April I lost. That was the day the main provisions of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 came into effect. On Wednesday night, a last-gasp attempt in the House of Lords to annul the part pushing competitive tendering sadly failed.
The democratic and legal basis of the English NHS and the secretary of state's duty to provide comprehensive health services have now gone, and the framework that allows for wholesale privatisation of the planning, organisation, supply, finance and distribution of our health care is now in place. Since 1948, we GPs have been our patient's advocate, championing the care we judge is needed clinically.
Everyone necessary for that care co-operated for the good of the patient – they didn't compete for the benefit of shareholders. Sadly, patients are now right to be suspicious of motives concerning decisions made about them, which until recently, almost uniquely in the world, have been purely in their best clinical interest. Most politicians understand little about general practice, have no idea about the importance of continuity of care and blame GPs for a rise in hospital work, even though this is a direct result of their policies.
I believe patient choice is an illusion as I am restricted in terms of where I can refer and what treatments I can use. GPs are now expected to collude with rationing, are sent incomprehensible financial spreadsheets telling us our "activity levels" are too high and in some areas are prevented from speaking out about this, despite the government's weasel words about duty of candour after Mid Staffs. Practices are already being solicited by private companies touting for business, often connected to members of my own profession. But the lie that GPs are now in control of the money will soon be exposed. Most services are to go out to tender, which will paralyse decision-making.
Now your doctor, the hospital, your specialist or the employing company has a financial incentive built into the clinical decision-making – even whether or not you are seen at all. Your referral may be to a related company, with both profiting from your care – so was that operation, procedure or investigation really in your best clinical interest? Or you may be told a service is now no longer available. The jargon used is that "we are not commissioned for that". But you can pay. The elephant in the consulting room is the ethical implication of private medicine. In my 30 years as an NHS GP, some of the most disastrously treated patients are those who elected for private care. Decisions were made about them for the wrong reasons, namely profit. Patients are rarely aware of this.
The politicians who drive this unnecessary revolution claim the NHS is not being privatised because it is still free at the point of use. This is duplicitous as the two are not connected. They are ignorant or dismissive of the founding principles of the NHS which include it being universal and comprehensive – both of which have gone. The NHS logo appears on all sorts of private company buildings and notepaper which is one reason patients haven't noticed the change yet. Just leaving "free at the point of use" under an NHS kitemark doesn't constitute a national health service. It's now one small step to insurance companies picking up the bill (but obviously profiting from it) rather than the state. An Americanised system run by many US companies. The end of a "60-year-old mistake", as Jeremy Hunt once co-authored.
I am proud to have been an NHS GP. I believe the way a society delivers its healthcare defines the values and nature of that society. In the US, healthcare is not primarily about looking after the nation's health but a huge multi-company, money-making machine which makes some people extremely rich but neglects millions of its citizens. We are being dragged into that machine and I want no part in it.
The politicians responsible for this must live with their consciences, as it is the greatest failure of democracy in my lifetime."

Expectations weighed on Dario Pizzano, bore down on him as no pitcher ever could. Coming off a big sophomore season at Columbia University, the former Malden Catholic star was mired in an early-season slump, and he was now 0-for-4 in the last of four games at the University of San Diego in March.
He was trying to do too much, and the result was too little. ''I felt pressure to get a hit in every at-bat,'' he said. ''I came out of my game a little bit.''

|Morris Jackson '73, M '73
|Salvatore Lopes '71
|Robert Petcove A'89, '91
|Daniel Purushotham M '74
Pedro Bermudez '07 is an award-winning director, filmmaker, and cofounder of Revisionist, a film and music video production company whose work runs the gamut from documentaries to short films to commercials.
Raised in Hartford, Bermudez began making films at an early age using his family's Hi-8 camcorder. As an undergraduate at the University of Hartford, he created Unifocus LLC, a production company that worked on both English- and Spanish-language content.
After receiving his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Hartford in 2007, Bermudez spent three years working at ESPN, where he produced original content for various digital media channels. He continued his education at one the world's top film schools, the American Film Institute in Los Angeles. There, Bermudez earned a Masters of Fine Arts in Film Directing in 2012, and was the recipient of the Petrie Award for Excellence and the Board of Trustees Scholarship. His thesis film, Antifaz, a period piece set in Buenos Aires during the military junta, won the Special Jury Prize at the USA Film Festival in Dallas.
Bermudez founded Revisionist while living in California with two fellow film-school students. The trio got its start shooting a public-service spot in Nepal for BuildOn, a charitable organization in Stamford that builds schools around the world for the impoverished. Bermudez directed the spot and also traveled to Haiti to develop a feature film after the earthquake in that region.
Revisionist, which has expanded to the East Coast, has recently crafted content for a diverse group of clients, including Bedrocket, United Illuminating, and ESPNU. Its commercial for United Illuminating won gold recognition in the 2013 Advertising Club of Connecticut awards competition.
Morris Jackson '72, M'73 has impacted the higher education landscape worldwide for more than a quarter century as a counselor, university professor, administrator, and fundraising and community relations professional. He has successfully interacted with academicians and educational administrators at all levels and from all ethnicities.
Jackson served as a consultant to the Ambassador of the Iraqi Embassy during spans of 2012 and 2013. He was employed for 18 years in the development field at American University in Washington, D.C., the last six years as director of development. He also served as the director of major gifts. Prior to that, Jackson was director of return-to-school programs at American's Office of Continuing Studies.
Serving as a university educational advisor for the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, D.C., from 1984 to 1992, Jackson developed cultural and educational programs with universities, secondary schools, and elementary schools across the United States. He advised Saudi Arabian scholarship students, and provided guidance on immigration regulations and procedures.
Jackson received his Bachelor of Science in guidance and counseling and his master's in education from the University of Hartford in 1972 and 1973, respectively. He later earned his doctorate in education from George Washington University. Since then, Jackson has published and presented extensively on counseling, diversity, and multicultural education.
This year, Jackson was inducted into the Alumni Hall of Fame of the Boys and Girls Club of Hartford, where he had been a member from 1955-70.
Jackson is currently vice president for business development for Senoda Inc., a privately owned promotional, marketing, and mailing-service company located in Washington, D.C.
Salvatore Lopes '71 is an internationally renowned photographer and platinum printer whose work has been exhibited in the United States and abroad. More than 150 of his images are part of museum collections at the likes of The Art Institute of Chicago, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.
Lopes's photographs also appear in many popular magazines ranging from Newsweek and National Geographic to French PHOTO, Black & White, and Shutterbug. Larger bodies of his work appear in books such as The Wall: Images and Offerings from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Living with AIDS: A Photographic Journal.
Lopes received his Bachelor of Arts from the Barney School of Business in 1971, and felt then as he does now that his University of Hartford experience prepared him well to do whatever he wanted to in life. His first venture upon graduation was to make a difference in the community, serving as a teacher at Hartford's Burns Elementary School. Here, Lopes devised a photographic program to engage underserved inner-city children and promote reading and writing skills.
Later, he worked as a photographer at the Richard Benson's Studio in Newport, R.I., where he produced exhibitions and edition portfolios for photographers Paul Strand, Tina Modotti, Edward Weston, and many others. Lopes' work today is an extension of what the two accomplished in Newport.
Specializing in the highly archival 19th-century technique of platinum printing, Lopes developed his own style of hand-coated prints in black and white, and notable art photographers and museums worldwide have sought after the exquisite results.
Robert Petcove A'89, '91 is an energetic and engaging business professional who currently serves as area vice president of Gallagher Benefit Services, Inc.
In 2005, Petcove founded Advanced Benefit Advisors, Inc. (ABA), an employee-benefits consulting firm based in New Jersey and Florida. Serving as CEO and president, Petcove focused on personal attention, creative ideas, and proactive service, quadrupling the size of the company over the next seven years. ABA also maintained steady yearly revenue growth, with earnings surpassing $4.2 million last year. This growth paved the way for the acquisition of ABA by Gallagher Benefit Services this past April.
Growing a company was nothing new to Petcove. Upon graduation, he worked side by side with his father for a decade at Benefit Resources, Inc., watching the company grow from eight to 65 employees.
Petcove received his Associate of Arts degree from Hillyer College in 1989 and his Bachelor of Science in business administration from the Barney School of Business in 1991.

He is also an active member in several professional organizations, including the Society for Human Resources Professionals and the PenJerDel Employee Benefits and Compensation Association.

In 2012, Purushotham helped launch the Colonial Total Rewards Association (CTRA), which is a not-for-profit local network member of WorldatWork, a premier international total rewards organization. CTRA is an educational and professional development organization serving total rewards professionals in Central Connecticut and Western Massachusetts. He is currently CTRA's co-president.
Purushotham has served in many leadership positions, including president of the Human Resource Association of Central Connecticut, president of WorldatWork's Eastern Region. He has served on the WorldatWork board of directors, chaired The Conference Board's Executive Compensation Management Council, and spoken internationally on human resources-related topics.
Currently, Purushotham serves on the boards of the American Red Cross; Blood Services, Connecticut Region; the University of Hartford's Barney School of Business; and recently finished his term with the University of Hartford Alumni Association.
Taking his wealth of knowledge and experience into the academic world, Purushotham currently teaches as an adjunct faculty member in the schools of business at the University of Connecticut and Central Connecticut State University—and in the school of graduate and professional studies at the University of Saint Joseph. He coauthored Building Pay Structures, a WorldatWork best seller.

Reviews for Smoked Salmon Cucumber Canapes
Sort By :
I have made this numerous times, but only once the way the recipe says. I found that the filling falls off the cucumber, so I modified it, and I get great reviews each time. Here's what I do: I take a medium cucumber without seeds and finely dice it. I add that in with the salmon mixture, although I double the salmon, capers, dijon, pepper and add another Tbsp of lemon, plus 1/2 of a small onion (can change all these amounts to suit taste and to account for the addition of the cucumber added into the mix). After the mixture marinates for a few hours, I serve it scooped into endive boats, or into hollowed out cherry tomatoes, or with celery sticks, or on cucumber slices, but any vegggie-type delivery means may work depending on your tastes. Both dieters and non-dieters love this recipe, assuming that they like smoked salmon. It is a strong flavored dish, but yummy and healthy! I gave it only 4 stars because I modified it so much, but my version gets 5 stars in my book!
This appetizer was a hit at my superbowl party. Everyone loved and it was the first empty plate.
This is a pungent appetizer with very sharp flavors - not for the food timid.

A house fire caused about $20,000 worth of damage at a central Toledo home, according to the battalion on scene.
The home, located near Oakwood and Forest avenues, is not vacant, but no one was home when the fire started.
Firefights say they found a gas can at the scene, which leads them to believe the fire is suspicious. Arson investigators were called to the scene.
The bottom floor of that house will have to be gutted.

While much of the NHL is preparing for the playoffs, several teams are gearing up for the complete, total opposite -- the NHL Draft. The first step prior to that draft is the NHL Draft Lottery, or as they're calling it this year, the NHL Draft Drawing. It'll always be the lottery to us, though.
All non-playoff teams have a crack at moving up in the draft in the event, which airs on TSN in Canada and Versus in the United States at 8 p.m. Eastern, but teams cannot move up more than four positions. That means that only the bottom five teams in the NHL standings have a chance at grabbing the No. 1 overall pick.
The Edmonton Oilers have the best chance at landing that pick, as they did a year ago, ultimately selecting Taylor Hall with that selection. Colorado, Florida, the New York Islanders and Ottawa all have chances at that position too, depending on how the luck falls.
Edmonton's chances sit at 25 percent, Colorado has an 18.8 percent chance, Florida sits at 14.2 percent, the Islanders at 10.7 percent and Ottawa at 8.1 percent. Atlanta, Columbus, New Jersey, Boston, Minnesota, Colorado, Carolina, Calgary and Dallas are also included in the lottery.
Boston's pick comes via the Toronto Maple Leafs, who for the second straight year won't be involved in the Lottery despite finishing in a position that would have qualified them. Colorado's second first-round pick, currently slated for the 11th slot in the draft, comes via trade with the St. Louis Blues.
The final 16 spots in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft will be determined by the order of finish in the Stanley Cup Playoff, which begin Wednesday.

A leading Tibetan folk and freedom singer, Techung, will perform at the Shalin Liu Performance Center Sunday at 7 p.m. as part of his national 2013 tour titled "For Peace in Tibet."
He and the band will combine traditional and contemporary Tibetan music that conveys a message of peace, freedom, and courage to help advocate for peace in Tibet and around the world. The concert will benefit Students for a Free Tibet.
Shortly after China invaded Tibet in 1959, Techung's parents escaped and joined thousands of Tibetan refugees and the Dalai Lama in Dharamshala, India. At a very early age, Techung was identified as a gifted musician and gained entrance to study at the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts. For more than 30 years, he has performed around the world.
His performances appeal to audiences of all ages. Composer Philip Glass described Techung as a highly gifted singer, "bursting with talent and personality." Techung introduces his songs by explaining the cultural significance and often the audience may join the singing.
Techung, a vocalist, will be joined on stage with Michel Tyabji on percussion, Kito Rodriguez on bass, and Rinzing Wangyal on guitar. Techung also is a gifted player of the long neck lute (Dramnyen), Tibetan fiddle (Piwang) and bamboo flute or (Lingbu).
The performance is co-sponsored with Students for a Free Tibet, which works for Tibetan independence and to inspire people to create an equitable world, free of oppression. Tickets may be purchased at the door or by visiting www.rockportmusic.org.
Gail McCarthy can be reached at 978-283-7000, x3445, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Answering your cell phone won't kill you! You can't trust every text message.
Have you ever received one of those text messages or emails that promises bad luck or good luck if you forward the very important message to 10 people? Or a series of really cute pictures of kitty cats or babies? Of course, we all have! We assume that those friends of ours (it is always the same people that send us these messages) are extremely superstitious or perhaps just having a little fun. For others, the messages become warnings, a matter of life and death.
Recently in Nigeria, a rumor spread via text message like wildfire warning the receiver that there were 7-10 deaths reported after accepting a phone call from "09141". The text warned that if they answered calls from this particular phone number, they would drop dead. The Nigerian Communications Commission called this possibility "unimaginable," and denounced the rumor as "unscrupulous."
"It is not possible for such a thing to happen," said Reuben Muoka, a commission spokesperson. "It is only very gullible people that will believe such a rumor." The report strains credulity but isn't the first time a rumor has frightened the uneducated among Nigeria's residents, who previously encountered false bomb warnings and even hearsay of acid rain that burned people alive.
The African incident follows last week's false Twitter reports that drug cartels attacked a school in Veracruz, Mexico, inducing panic among parents who raced to the school to check on their children. The two people responsible for this rumor were arrested for terrorism and sabotage."Here, there were 26 car accidents, or people left their cars in the middle of the streets to run and pick up their children, because they thought these things were occurring at their kids' schools," said Gerardo Buganza, interior secretary for Veracruz state.
For some it's a game, but for others it can cause mass chaos. While the incident in Nigeria is pretty far-fetched, most would have to admit that if they were to receive a text message warning that their child's school was shot upon they would fall prey attempting to get there as quickly as possible. Both of these incidents show just how quickly information can be spread using modern technology, even if it's fear mongering misinformation, legitimate news or just a funny joke.

Tarun Tejpal, Power, And RapinessFriday, November 22nd, 2013
India is by now famous for gang-rape and assault emerging from its slums, but it comes from all sides of society, really. Tarun Tejpal is (was) the editor of Tehelka, a powerful muck-raking Indian magazine. He was accused of sexual assault at a literary festival by a young reporter. He acknowledged what he called 'A bad lapse of judgment, an awful misreading of the situation' and took a six month leave from his job. The Indian press is up in arms over the lameness of his apology and it's good to see this getting attention and redress. It really is a terrible mess and sexual assault along power lines – be they physical or other – is something far too prevalent in the world, and South Asia in particular.

Accrington prepare to unleash Liverpool youngster Craig Roddan on County
1:23pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in Latest Football
LIVERPOOL starlet Craig Roddan will be aiming to make an instant impact for Accrington Stanley against Newport County AFC on Saturday, writes Andrew Penman.
The Exiles suffered at the hands of Everton loanee Hallam Hope as he scored the opener in the 2-1 win for Northampton Town at Rodney Parade last weekend.
And manager Justin Edinburgh will be hoping lightning doesn't strike twice when his side takes on Liverpool loan star Roddan at the Crown Ground.
The 20-year-old midfielder came through the Reds' academy and has just completed a similar loan spell at League One side Carlisle.
"Craig's a very good young player," said Accrington manager James Beattie.
"He's very competitive, technically sound and good on the ball as you would expect from a player who has come through at a club like that.
"I tried to get him before and Craig actually trained with us once but the deal fell through.
"We've managed to make it happen now and we're delighted.
"He can play in a number of different positions but he also knows the game and has that pedigree of coming from such a big club.
"He comes with a glowing report from his coaches and we can't wait to see him wear the Stanley shirt."
Roddan made just one appearance for Carlisle when he stepped off the substitutes' bench in last month's home win against Tranmere.
He briefly returned to Liverpool last week before his move to Accrington was agreed.
"Craig is a great lad and he has worked very hard with us, but it's one we aren't going to pursue at this moment in time," Carlisle boss Graham Kavanagh told the club's official website.
"It goes without saying that we wish him all the very best."
Stanley were beaten 4-1 at Rodney Parade on the opening day of the season and did not win a match in League Two until October 22.
That win started a fine run of form as they climbed off the foot of the table but Beattie's side are still just two points above the relegation zone as they prepare to host promotion hopefuls County.

Minshull has got to be a first choice starter for the midfield as well.
JE also needs to think more tactically as substitutions need to be made a lot sooner than last Saturday if things are not going well.

Risen literally from the dust of a divided Berlin, the Chapel of Reconciliation stands as one of the most compelling examples of contemporary rammed-earth architecture I've seen in a long time. Located on a site that had once been a deadly no-man's-land, the Chapel is Berlin's first public building, and sole church, constructed of load-bearing earth.
The minimalist oval building, designed by Berlin architects Rudolf Reitermann and Peter Sassenroth, was completed in 2000 and consists of a monumental rammed-earth core structure flanked with a translucent facade of wooden louvers.
While the warm aesthetics of the building and its use of sustainable natural methods should be enough to please any fan of modern green architecture, what's perhaps more moving is how these aspects have been used to serve a symbolic and spiritual purpose for its parishioners. Not only is the Chapel sited on the foundation of its pre-war predecessor, but also within its thick clay walls are embedded the remains of the former Church of Reconciliation which was demolished by the GDR in 1985 (citing "security measures" due to its location between Soviet watchtowers).
In comparison to the gleaming glass and commercial neon that characterizes the majority of Berlin's in-fill construction since reunification, its uplifting to see a structure like the Reconciliation Chapel paying such quiet homage to its sober history while also presenting a fresh (green) face forward to the future.
Those who are curious may wish to read a complete and epic history of the Reconciliation Parish as narrated here.

Sluggish database performance undermines business performance
Enterprise applications—from online transactional processing (OLTP) and analytics, to data warehousing and business intelligence—rely heavily on the databases that support them. Whether SQL Server, DB2, MySQL or Oracle, databases help organizations better understand their customers, develop analytics, make strategic decisions, improve employee productivity and outflank the competition.
Database performance is critical for the fast online response that customers and employees expect. Slow databases can undermine a company's brand, its reputation, customer loyalty, and employee productivity and job satisfaction. As massive data growth worldwide continues, organizations face a number of key challenges that can degrade database performance, including:
Accelerate database performance with flash
Supplementing HDD storage with a small amount of low-latency flash memory is a cost-effective way to improve database performance. Overall application performance can increase significantly by reducing the latency of specific database hot spots – frequently accessed data and indexes. Caching these hot spots on PCIe® flash storage cards can deliver a complete solution for high-performance storage.
The LSI® Nytro™ product family is designed to accelerate database applications and provide a cost-effective way to reduce latency and the CPU burden—without a complete overhaul of a datacenter's storage infrastructure. Nytro products are out-of-the-box solutions designed to intelligently and dynamically improve performance without having to reconfigure databases to make the best use of flash storage.
LSI Nytro solutions for database applications deliver the following results*:

With the nation at terror alert level orange, Old Dominion University Interim Police Chief Bill Quinn has issued safety precautions for the campus and local higher education centers.
"These safety measures are issued not as an urgent warning, but as cautionary advice," Quinn said. "They in no way indicate an immediate threat to Old Dominion, but rather a greater need for awareness and caution."
Faculty, staff and students should:
·Cooperate with parking restrictions;
·Report all suspicious persons or activity to ODU Police;
·Watch for suspicious packages and report their presence to ODU Police;
·Avoid leaving briefcases or packages unattended in public areas;
·Discuss building evacuation plans and possible responses to violent incidents in their work place;
·Carry university identification at all times when on campus;
·Be aware of their surroundings; and
·Maintain normal activities, but with a heightened sense of alertness.
Orange, the second highest level in the nation's terror alert system, indicates a high risk of terrorist attack. Attorney General John Ashcroft, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge and FBI Director Robert Mueller raised the level last Friday after analyzing intelligence.
For more information or to report suspicious activity call the Old Dominion Police at 683-4000.

Marc Raymond, CEO of Q1 Production Technologies, along with Craig Redden, VP Rentals, are pleased to announce that Holly O'Hair has joined the company as director of marketing, USA.
O'Hair comes to Q1 with a wide range of experience in the lighting and entertainment industries, most notably having spent over 10 years in all areas of entertainment technology magazine publishing, including six years specifically related to entertainment lighting at Live Design (formerly Lighting Dimensions).
"Holly is a perfect addition to Q1," says Raymond, noting that her knowledge of the industry, from the people to the latest technology, gives her tremendous insight into which projects are a good fit for the company. "We are extremely pleased to have someone with her industry credibility representing us in the very important touring market."

I am excited to bring my own industry knowledge and relationships to this dynamic team and further establish Q1's position in the marketplace."

Availability: Usually Ships Within 24-48 Hours
Advanced Research Squalene Shark Liver Oil 500 mg. is a quality health care supplement product formulated by Hans A. Nieper, M.D. Squalene is a natural organic compound originally obtained for commercial purposes primarily from shark liver oil, though plant sources (primarily vegetable oils) are used as well, including amaranth seed, rice bran, wheat germ, and olives. All plants and animals produce squalene, including humans. Squalene has been proposed to be an important part of the Mediterranean diet as it may be a chemopreventative substance that protects people from cancer. Squalene is a hydrocarbon and a triterpene, and is a natural and vital part of the synthesis of cholesterol, steroid hormones, and vitamin D in the human body. Squalene is used in cosmetics, and more recently as an immunologic adjuvant in vaccines.
Squalene is a naturally occurring substance found in plants, animals, and humans. Squalene is manufactured in the liver of every human body and circulates in our bloodstreams. Squalene is present in the oil left by human fingerprints. Humans cannot live without squalene, because we use squalene as an essential building block to make hormones and other substances in our bodies. Squalene is also found in a variety of foods (for example: eggs, olive oil (0.7%), cookies, yeast, meat), cosmetics (for example: eye makeup, lipstick, baby powder), over-the-counter medications, and health supplements. Squalene in olive oil may contribute to the low cholesterol levels of people who consume Mediterranean-style diets. It is more commonly known as "shark liver oil."
Dr. Hans A Nieper has achieved (during his lifetime) International acclaim in Science, Medicine and Technology. As reported in several International Journals, Dr. Nieper is truly one of the greatest luminaries of this century. In addition to his research, theories and promulgation of vacuum/space field Tachyon physics and technologies (Telsa), he was the President of the International Association of Space Field Energy Scientists.
In Medicine, his discoveries of various "metabolic substances" orotates, aspartates, arginates and AEP compounds, which are necessary in cell metabolism, resulted in great demands for his lectures including the World Health Organization's Cancer Symposium and adoption of various Government Medical Authorities (in Germany) of several of his successful "Non-Toxic" Medical protocols. Dr. Nieper was also the President of the German Oncology Society.
Advanced Research nutritional supplements are the progression of Dr. Nieper's commitment to metabolic therapies in harmony with nature. They painstakingly research each raw ingredient to assure that the highest potency, most assimilable materials are used and that they meet Dr. Nieper's Standard of excellence. All their products are then scientifically formulated and meticulously manufactured.
