Diner Reviews
We love the food at Buca Di Beppo,
but taking a group picture and selling it back to customer is very unattractive. It's one thing to create an experiance for a customers and another to make extra money by taking pictures and selling it to the customer. I'd beg you to stop that."

Location is easy to access/notice.
Plenty of food and good ambiance for a big group."
Dined on 8/30/2014
Has the food at Buca become a bit
pedestrian? Has the chain become lazy or is the chef asleep? When I order baked ziti, I expect baked, not pasta tossed in sauce with mounds of cheese on top in a bowl. Where was the crusty cheese breadcrumb top? The rich flavor that baking pasta in the sauce gives? I could have made this dish myself at home in twenty minutes with a bag of ziti, a bag of 4cheese shreds, a tub of ricotta and a jar of Ragu. Additionally, the Caesar salad was limp and overdressed and the garlic bread was overdone and 'baked' to crouton hardness nearly all the way through. Buca usually does much better than this lackluster meal."

Took my boyfriend for his
birthday, first time for both of us, and we had a wonderful time. Our server was kind of enough to explain the portion sizes and specials that were available. Great food friendly atmosphere kid friendly and definitely large group friendly. Loved it so much we are bringing my Sister back here next month for her birthday."

the food was absolutely to die for
but the service really neeeded some help."
Dined on 8/23/2014
We eat here about once every 1-2
months. My family enjoys the food. This time the restaurant was very noisy with several large birthday groups. Our server was slow, and rarely came to check on us. I don't know if she was assigned too many tables, or if she is inexperienced (we have never seen her before)."
Dined on 8/17/2014
We had a party of 20 and it was
very warm in the area we were seated in. It seemed to be very busy day with many big parties like mine. The service was pretty good even though we had long waits at times for our waiter."
Dined on 8/17/2014
Celebrated my birthday with the
family. Service was great. The server did not rush us and we had a very relaxed enjoyable dinner. The food is good and this is a great place if you have kids."
Dined on 8/16/2014
We reserved a table for two people
a week ahead. When we got there, the server offered us to sit at a six-people table while the tables for two people are empty. He said those are reserved tables. After a while, I saw a family of 6 people sitting crowded on the small table for 2-4 people. What a funny scene."
Dined on 8/15/2014
I brought my fiancee in to
celebrate her birthday and she loved it! She loves Italian food and we got to say the food was delicious. The place really clean and quiet (we came in for lunch) and everyone really friendly. We even got a complimentary photo which was a plus! We will definitely be coming back."
Dined on 8/15/2014
I love coming here always great
food and service. The location in pasadena is our favorite, my wife and i love it here. We usually share a small but sometimes we get our own smalls just to be able to share them between us. I crave that garlic bread all the time its so good."
Dined on 8/8/2014
The baked stuffed shells were at
their best. Simple meal for us shells, garlic bread, caesar salad -- always perfect and getting better somehow (a bit more spice perhaps?). All staff were delightful -- Freddy esp. Thank you Buca!"
Dined on 8/5/2014
Great place for group gatherings.
Good food and plenty of it. Friendly staff."
Dined on 8/4/2014
years ago, Buca was known for
their fun atmosphere, good food, huge portions, and service. You felt like you were in an Italian restaurant in someone's home; with mom cooking and the relatives serving up food and good times. The food is still decent, the portions are large family style, but the ambiance resembles an IHOP or Denny's, and it has lost all of it's charm. As with so many huge chains that have grown, they have lost that personal touch and uniqueness that made them a success in the first place."
Dined on 8/2/2014
My Italian family has patronized
Buca di Beppo in Pasadena a few times over the past 10 years including for our parents' 40th anniversary. Although we had a good time and the service was very good, the food was a bit disappointing. The meatballs on the spaghetti were dry. The sauce was okay, but not great on the parmesan chicken. The green salad lacked flavor. It was as though the dishes we ordered were prepared to look good like in the photos in the menu, and they did. However, the preparation struck me as uninspired. I felt as though the kitchen staff had a limited idea of what Italian food was supposed to taste like, so they prepared it to look good. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either."
Dined on 7/29/2014
I signed up for the email coupon
for a free pasta. We ordered the zeti, it was pretty delicious for a cheese fanatic, haha. It is pretty loud, but very family friendly. We also ordered the peach mararita , it was very delicious!!"
Dined on 7/27/2014
Our family went to Buca in
Pasadena just to have a night out. We had made reservations online so when we arrived we were seated immediately. The staff was courteous and helpful. Everything on the menu is a la carte, so it seemed a bit pricey overall. But the food tasted fresh and delicious (for example, the salmon was really good), and our servers did a great job. The one thing we could have done without was the photographer taking our photos "for no charge". We got a little photo of ourselves at the table for free, but the best photos required purchase, which we declined. All in all, it was an enjoyable dining experience and I would recommend Buca di Beppo to others as a place for great Italian food."
Dined on 7/26/2014
This was our first time and
everything was wonderful. The food that we ordered was more than we thought we would have. It was excellent. Also you give great comps for online sign up and will always come back. The Pasta dishes are outstanding and you get a lot of food for a reasonable price."
Dined on 7/26/2014
Obviously a chain, and an
expensive one, but we were seated timely. Served timely. With food that surpassed my expectations even given the price. They do try to wrestle every dime from you with their silly photos and press on the desserts . . . But overall I was happy."
Dined on 7/24/2014
It was so easy to go on line and
make a reservation. We have limited time to eat because we were going to a movie. The service was good and the meal was delicious. We have had birthday parties their before and it was fun sharing their large portions. The waiters and managers are walking around making sure that we are satisfied and our glasses are not empty!"
Dined on 7/14/2014
The restaurant is extremely noisy
unless you sit in the bar away from all the large parties. It (the bar) is quiet and very pleasant. The food is actually too much for just two people, even the small portions. Great for very young active adults and football players! I don't think I will go again unless I am going to attend a large party."
Dined on 7/13/2014
Celebrated a birthday for my
family memembet and had the worst experience! The waiter wad extremely rude. We had the worst service ever from him.I asked him at least 3 times for service in bringing different items and not once did he do It. In the end I had to Flagg down a busyboy and he was kind enough to bring us the things we needed. Finally when the waiter showed up he brought 6 heavy small plated and just dumped them into my hand. At this point he was upset because I told him he was late in everyrhing. He had a bad attitude thereafter and caused our celebeation to b an ackward situation. I was so embarrassed at this point! I will never take my family back or anyone ele for that matter."
Dined on 7/13/2014
When we were seated we smelled a
stench. We think it was coming from the restroom. We asked to be moved and they set us at the table in the kitchen, which was fine. The food tasted ok, but I had to fish several fruit flies out of my wine. We were asked if we wanted to sign up for their club, we said no, they then gave us the forms anyway, we said no thanks, they then came back with extra pens and went over all the benefits again, we said no thanks yet again, then when we finished dinner they again said if we filled out the form we'd get something next time. Overall I'd rather have stayed home"
Dined on 7/12/2014
My two boys are very picky with
food. And the pizza was so yummy to them. We will definitely return!"
Dined on 7/5/2014
Great server. They also encourage
coupon use here and the environment worked well for our 1 1/2 year old son."
Dined on 7/5/2014
As loud as it gets, the service
was great...very attentive given how packed and loud it was. My Saturday night 6:30pm OpenTable reservation was accommodated with NO WAIT even after seeing a couple ahead of me get informed they would wait 30min for a table. Food is good and decently priced. Expect loads of cheese and lots of carbs (via sugary beverages and pastas/breads) given in huge portions."
Dined on 6/28/2014
This particular visit to Buca di
Beppo was my third time dining at the restaurant. Although the menu has a nice variety of items, I have had the same selections every time and they have never disappointed. I made a reservation and asked to be placed away from any large groups that might be there that night. This request was accommodated and I was very grateful for that. We had a great meal with great friends while celebrating a birthday. I look forward to my next visit to Buca!"
Dined on 6/25/2014
Slow, unattentive service. Not
enough floor staff to cover Friday night dinner shift. Food was really good though!"
Dined on 6/20/2014
Generally the food is good, but
not excellent. The pizza crust was not crispy enough for my taste and the pasta lightly over done. I like the nice colorful and family friendly atmosphere and the menu is certainly complete. Expect a long wait if you don't have reservations"
Dined on 6/14/2014
The service and the foods were
good. The only thing I don't like was they seat us in one of the high table in front of the bar. I usually don't mind but we have two little ones. People hang out at the bar. It was crowed."
Dined on 6/14/2014
Whenever you have something to
celebrate with a group of people, such as graduation, birthday, etc., I highly recommend this place. The waiters sing for you, if you let them know what you are celebrating for, the quality, quantity, and the price of the food just fit appropriately for these kind of occasions. The spirit of "Italianness" is present, which means that the environment is very energetic. And because of this kind of environment, it naturally makes your celebration more special. However, I don't think it is a romantic place where you come to find serenity and solely focus to the person whom your dating."
Dined on 6/14/2014
We went to your restaurant for a
birthday party. 8 people (kids/adults). Staff very friendly. Order pizza for our appetizer. Had a soapy taste to it, like they had just washed the board it came on. Took it off the bill. I had order a glass of house wine. The last sip was full of sediment. Not the topping off I was looking for after a very good rest of the meal. Took that off the bill. One had order the drink that you could take the glass home. When brought to the table in a box, he opened it up and the glass was cracked. Brought another. It just seemed we had little mishaps that were corrected by a very embarrassed waitress. She was great. Left a great tip. All in all these things do happen I know. Hopefully this helps for future reference."
Dined on 6/11/2014
Since we went with very long time
friends, family style service was fine. Our waiter was very pleasant and kept a good eye on us. The place is just too noisy and not a place to go if you have more than one person to talk to. The food is very expensive for Italian and only tastes like garlic. We had Chicken Marsala that had a lot of sauce so it wasn't too dry, but someone dumped a cup of sugar into the sauce. Cloyingly sweet. The cheese bread is plentiful, but you live with the tons of garlic for quite awhile. We also had spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce is very bright and the meatballs are cooked through. Very flavorless food. We didn't need to purchase their sauce for home use. Obviously, we won't go there again on purpose."
Dined on 6/7/2014
The only thing I didn't care for
was that even with a reservation we had to wait 30 minutes. After attending a graduation ceremony of 2 hrs and the waiting before and that, another waiting experience was the last thing we wanted to do."
Dined on 6/5/2014
Buca Di Peppo is a great Italian
restaurant, and the choices are endless. If you want something big or small, this is the place...even the small isn't that small, so bring a big appetite. You might want to leave room for your dessert because they are huge. Can't wait to go back and try something else. Thanks for the Italian food."
Dined on 6/1/2014
Seems like Buca is changing. We
dine there multiple times a year and they are now up selling lots of items. They try to upsell you on the kids cup ($5 cup that lights up). They try to upsell you on the Beer glass. They try to upsell you on their bread. We usually like to take our time and enjoy our food, but this time around, they were rushing us, even after we told the waitress that we wanted to take things slow."
Dined on 6/1/2014
Good service by 2 wait staff.
Always good food as well. Slightly noisy since hear conversions of the large parties nearby "
Dined on 5/31/2014
Every time we go this dish is a
must!!! I love it. It makes my stomach and me very happy! Compliments to the chef and cooks! The waiters are also amazing. "

Service was very good, all the
staff were great just very very loud."
Dined on 5/24/2014
Food was good; beer was flat, had
to send it back, then wait awhile to recieve a pitcher replacement. Several dishes/utensils were spotty, I was just hoping you super steam the utensils. I will carry plastic utensils from now on. Initially, staff (1 person) was bothered that we changed our # of guest, and she had to make accomodations. Heck, I offered to move tables, than later noticed that she could have seated us in a larger table. She mellowed out after a bit, glad she wasn't our server. Had a great time otherwise."

The cold temps and gloomy skies made me want to stay inside today, and just go back to bed. When I did finally go out, seemed like everywhere from Town Square mall and back to Endicott, the skies were ominous looking. Bring back the sun. Our flowers are all well watered now, and need the sun.
Gloom dispare and agony on me...

An ex-Army contracting officer who set up a family business that profited from a contact he made during his deployment to Iraq will serve three years of probation for operating a company with a criminal conflict of interest.
Former Lt. Col. Harold Broek, 49, of Lacey also must repay the government $52,400 his family business earned off of war-related contracts.
He had faced up to five years in prison after pleading guilty this summer to the offense of criminal conflict of interest. His family members were not charged with a crime.
Broek and his family told U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin Settle this week that his younger brother and sister-in-law were the ones who profited from the company, Global Motion. Broek said he quickly tried to unwind his and his wife's participation in the business when they realized their involvement could be illegal.
"What I did was wrong," Broek wrote in a letter to U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin Settle. "I sinned against my God, embarrassed my family, and have embarrassed the U.S. Army."
In 2007, Broek was the chief contracting officer for the Tikrit Regional Contracting Center, supplying military operations north of Baghdad. While there, he worked with a businessman named Rohit Goel, who ran a company called Avalon International Limited. The Justice Department found Broek personally awarded 24 contracts to Avalon worth $418,198 that year.
While in uniform in Iraq, Broek talked with Goel about how a private business might support Avalon's work. When he returned to Washington State in 2008, he communicated with Goel about Global Motion, the business he'd launched with his wife, brother and sister-in-law.
According to the Justice Department, Avalon won contracts to supply the U.S. military with material bought from Global Motion. Avalon fronted money to Global Motion to buy equipment, which the Broek company delivered to Avalon after keeping 30 percent of the profit.
In one instance, Broek, as an Army officer, changed a contract in 2007 and his family's business ultimately made $30,725 by supplying Goel's with material from that transaction.
"The many other contracts directed to Global Motion by Avalon, though awarded and directed after Broek left Iraq, nonetheless also stink of fraud, corruption and conflict," Assistant U.S. Attorney David Reese Jennings wrote in a brief to Settle in which he sought jail time for Broek.
"One has to ask why, and under what circumstances, would a foreign contractor like Avalon contract with Global Motion, a newly formed company that had zero experience in contracting? In fact, the only reason Avalon contracted with Global Motion was because of Lt. Col. Broek."
In his letter to the judge, Broek characterized his involvement in the company as simply generating the idea for Global Motion and introducing his family members to Goel.
"I wrongly believed that by not being involved, I was not breaking the law," he wrote. "However, that is no excuse for a senior officer in the U.S. Army."
In 2007 and 2008, Global Motion did $467,736 worth of business with the Iraqi company and reported gross income of $52,400 in 2008. That's the sum Broek must repay as restitution.
Broek, who has four children, first met with Army criminal investigators about his company in 2007. He told Settle he and his wife extracted themselves from Global Motion after that interview. He said he advised his brother and sister-in-law to fold the company, but they did not.
"Although frustrated that they would not shut it down, I realized I had no control of them," Broek wrote to Settle.

Kid's Club - Extremely disappointed. Prior to our cruise, our friends and other Disney cruisers told us that their children did not like the Oceaneer Club. At first, I thought maybe their children were the exception. The three children traveling in our group did not like the kid's club either. Ages 5, 4, and 3.
The children asked not to go to Oceaneer Club, or when we dropped them off, a counselor would page us an hour later saying that our children were ready to leave. I sat in one morning to see why this was the case. There is little structure in the activities, the counselors are overwhelmed, and it is a zoo in there. Compared to the kid's club on Royal Caribbean, our children loved the RC's kids' club and did not want to leave.
Food: The food and variety was better than Royal Caribbean, but not much better. We ate dinner in three different dining rooms, which was nice and made for a nice change of scenery

People are rude, and I remain very polite using that term.
They push you away to get in a lift (elevator), push you away to get trough a hallway, and never ever they will say sorry or any form of excuse.
Forget about the rule that reserving seats isn't allowed, after 9h it's impossible to find a free seat around the pool and the people watching the pool don't remove the towels thrown there to reserve the seats.
The "relax - zen" pool is anything but relax or zen, kids shouting all over the place and jumping in the pool, while it's not allowed.
When I made the remark I have been told that I could go to deck 18 where there is a paid relax zone with no kids allowed, so because other don't respect the rules I would have to pay 50€????
Dinner time is like feeding time for pigs, people jump on the food, take all the last pieces away in front of you without even eating them. I have never seen so much food being thrown away.
They don't seem to respect the dress policy either, no swimsuits in the restaurants, well .... forget about it, they'll come in with the swimsuits still wet, no t-shirts or anything and hang with their sweaty arms over the food.
And it's not only the people in the restaurants, it's also the food. I'm Belgian, so I'm used to a large variety of food styles, and I do like most of them, but here I can't find anything that looks like worth trying, and it's every single day the same food.
It became so bad that over the last 2 nights the optional restaurants, for which you have to pay a supplement, have been overly crowed, all people like us that can't stand it anymore and are willing to pay extra to get some decent food in a normal restaurant.
On a positive note I do have to say that the Tex-Mex restaurant is really good, the waiters are nice and will do anything they can to serve you, which can't be said of any other waiter in the bars or restaurants.
The rooms are also very nice and clean with nice living space and great balconies.
I could go on for hours but bottom line is you won't see me on a MSC cruise ever. Although this is my first cruise I will cruise again, I love the concept but I'll probably be using other companies then MSC.
So my advice, stay away from this ship !!

Home > Offices > Class
Deans > Guidelines & Forms
There are two kinds of leaves of absence. Approved
Off-Campus study, either abroad or in the U.S.A., and Personal Leave, during which
time the student normally does not plan to pursue course work elsewhere.
Approved Off-Campus Study-Abroad
A student intending to study abroad should
contact the International Study Office. Approval from the International Study Office
is required to receive credit for study outside the U.S.A.
Approved Off-Campus Study: U.S.A
A student intending to study at another institution
in the United States and to request that credit be transferred toward her Smith degree
should read carefully the Guidelines for Transferring Credit from Another U.S. Institution
(form available in the Class Deans' Office and on the Web site).
Smith will accept transfer credit from any accredited
institution in the U.S.A. Only courses where the student has earned a grade of C
or better are acceptable for transfer.
It is always best to obtain pre-approval for transfer
credit. A student can complete a Smith College Petition for Transfer Credit which can be found at www.smith.edu/classdeans/new_guidelines.php and submit it with catalogue descriptions of the courses
she intends to take to the office of her class dean. Courses will not be reviewed
unless course descriptions are attached.
It is not uncommon for a student studying elsewhere
to discover that a class she had planned to take is not available. In that case she
should send the names and descriptions of the courses that she plans to take to her
class dean as soon as possible for approval by email. The Dean can then approve or
disapprove the course and the transfer of credit form can be filled out upon the
student's return to campus.
A student who attends another institution in the U.S.
must order an official transcript from that institution to be sent directly to the
Smith College Registrar, College Hall 102, as soon as possible after the completion
of her course of study.
Students should be aware that Smith will only award
the amount of credit awarded by the host institution. If another institution awards
three credits per class, Smith will only award 3 credits for that class. Many institutions
award three credits per class and expect students to take 5 classes per semester.
Smith students should be aware that they may return from study elsewhere with a slight
credit shortage.
Smith College will accept only official transcripts
sent directly from the host institution. Student grade reports or transcripts issued
to students will not be accepted.
All students must also keep in mind that college policy
requires students entering the senior year to have 96 credits on their Smith college
record (these can, of course, include transfer credits).
A student who intends to study away for any
part of her senior year must also complete a Senior Year Elsewhere form which can be found at www.smith.edu/classdeans/new_guidelines.php and she should
discuss her plans with the senior class dean.
Rescinding a Leave of Absence
A student who decides to rescind part or all
of her leave of absence and return to Smith must notify her class dean in writing.
The letter should explain her intent to return and contain both her signature and
ID number. The class dean will then notify the Registrar and the Housing Coordinator.
A student who rescinds a leave of absence is given the lowest housing priority. Students
who rescind leaves of absence are housed on a space-available basis and are not guaranteed
housing, and should contact the Housing Coordinator immediately at ext. 4940.
Normally, students who withdraw from a Smith
College Junior Year Abroad program are considered to be withdrawn from Smith College
and many may not return to Smith the following semester. Please contact the International
Study Office for any questions about rescinding leave while abroad.
Registration and Housing
Registration and housing materials are sent
to all students on a leave of absence during the semester immediately preceeding
their scheduled return.
Housing forms for the fall semester (to secure a space
in your previous house or to enter the lottery) are due by February 1. If you do
not receive these forms by November of the previous year, please contact the Office
of Student Affairs at x4940. Please file a leave address with the Smith Registrar.
Questions concerning course registration and transcripts
should be addressed to the Office of the Registrar. Questions concerning housing
shoud be addressed to the Office of Student Affairs.

The Narconon® organization has been exposed to be a ® "Church" of Scientology front which is in no way connected with the real drug addiction treatment program called Narcotics Anonymous.
The Scientology business does not inform people that its Narconon operation is Scientology because they're aware of the likelyhood that no one would sign up for their dubious treatments were they aware of the fact that Narconon is a front group created by a notorious business cult with a long, well known criminal history, using unscientific, dangerous, and ineffective drug treatment proceedures concocted by a pulp science fiction writer.
Anyone contemplating taking the Scientology organization's unscientific and risky "Purification Rundown" proceedure, or participating in any of the cult's other dangerous quack medicial proceedures needs to know the history of the Narconon front group, what courts have ruled about it, what newspapers have discovered and reported, and what the lack of scientific merits for the cult's proceedures mean to individuals who are trying to quit their addictions.

Comes out of the tap a hazy honey golden with a fine-bubbled eggshell head that leaves some good lacing. Wheaty, yeasty aroma has a strong citrus overtone and is quite inviting. Wheaty flavor has a strong lemony note, more sweet than sour, and a yeasty underpinning. Overall it is quite refreshing, perfect for a sweltering summer day. Fizzy texture has average body and leaves a wheaty and fairly tingly finish. Prosit!

3.98/5 rDev +3.4%
Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a mini mug.
Appearance: Cloudy sunset yellow, apple juice-like color. Looks like it was unfiltered, or at best, not filtered very heavily. Thin foam head with no visible carbonation through the glass. From the pour, not a bad beer, but nothing intense yet.
Smell: Oooh, man. Awesome. Banana bread and cloves, maybe sweet corn and pine. The nose is heavy and fruity, matches the appearance but does it one better by enticing me to take a sip, so I shall.
Taste: Yep, this is beer. The wheat flavor is much stronger here than in the scent, but it's not distracting. Questionable hops...there's something about this beer that isn't perfection to me; what that is, I can't put a finger on. As it stands, it's worth another taste.
Mouthfeel: Much like the scent, I am feeling the term "banana bread." Malty to the extreme, which works for this one (being a wheat beer and all). Goes down smooth but strong, and leaves a slightly earthy feeling afterwards. Also gut.
Drinkability: I'm not a big wheat beer guy, but I can't see any reason NOT to recommend this beer to a connoisseur. A bit heavy for me to take on a nightly basis, but then again, a taste that I could get used to.
This one is alright. Might be good to finish off an evening with, or as the only drink during a fireplace session. There's something soothing about this beer, and as such, I've gotta give it props.

**Please tolerate my 'Short Review Series' which come from sparsley populated notes.
Pours a dirty opaque gold. Smells of banana and banana. Taste like a Tropican Twister. The banana one. Got a lip-smackin sticky taste feel to it which is kinda nice. Cloves in the tail. Mild carbonation. Nice change from the heavies I've been drinking.

This pours from 500ml bottle a slightly hazy medium gold with a large thick head of foam that shrinks to almost a solid fine layer and it has plenty of lacing.
The smell is of wheat, banana, and other fruit.
The taste has notes of wheat, banana, clove, fruit, and right near the finish, it has a real earthy taste to it. The body is medium light and the carbonation is medium. Good tasting and very drinkable Weizen and one that I'd buy again.
I see on the label that it says produced on 04.06 April 06 or June 04? I doubt the latter as this tastes reasonably fresh to me.

A truly excelent brew! The pour was great with a huge bubbly white head that settled nicely after a minute. The aroma hit me as soon as I started pouring with a sweet lemon scent and once I smelled the beer, faint scents of bananna and pepper mixed in as well giving this beer a very inviting smell.
The flavor of this brew was outstanding as well, with a light malt sweetness in the front and a slight bitterness in the finnish that was excentuated by the great carbonation of the beer. A wonderful drink for sure, very recommended.

Pours a deep golden with a frothy white head. Light carbonation.
Sweet in the aroma, with notes of wheat, candi-sugar, and alcohol.
Smooth taste, light and sweet. Hoppy in the aftertaste, but initially it's all about the malt. Lovely.
This one's a keeper.

Appearance: Fairly clear golden color--a slight haze though--with a lot of fine streaming bubbles coming up, and a moderate but receding head.
Smell: Lightly fruity, not identifiable as banana, but pleasant.
Taste: Moderately fruity, with a bubble-gum like flavor. Phenols are very light. Nice amount of wheat flavor, though.
Mouthfeel: High carbonation give a sharp, bubbly mouthfeel.
Much like Hacker-Pschorr's Hefe, there's not much here to criticize, but it doesn't stand out either. Nice, refreshing but undistinguished.

Pours amber with a thin head that drops fast.. Clear (duh). Smell is light fruit and malt. Taste is the same. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, lightly fizzy. Drinkability: Eh. Nothing special, really makes me reconsider my purchase. Should have gone with something else. Well, there is always next time.

Kristal clear, rich golden amber with a faint hint of orange, topped by an expansive head of whipped cream-like ivory foam that sets off the color of the beer quite nicely. A barely respectable amount of lace completes the picture of a decent looking German weizen. Since I prefer the cluttered look of a hefe, a kristal weizen always has an uphill row to hoe with me.
Thankfully, the characteristic banana esters and clove notes are still present, although they're considerably muted in comparison to a standard hefe and are subservient to the wheat. Kristall Weisse tastes about how I expected it to taste; namely, like a hamstrung hefe weizen. Again, clove-dusted banana is noticeable, but isn't a major part of the flavor profile.
A slightly sour fruitiness makes as much of a statement as the wheat malt and provides a welcome added dimension. Banana makes a pleasant cameo on the medium length finish, a great lead-in to the next mouthful. The body is well within the bounds of acceptable for the style and the beer has an energetic amount of carbonation.
Kristall Weisse is my first kristal weizen and is about what I expected. It's tasty, drinkable beer and is clearly quality made. That said, I still greatly prefer those yeasty, banana and clove-like hefe weizen masterpieces brewed by the likes of Brauereien Weihenstephan and Aying. This one is a bit tame for my tastes, but is good beer nevertheless.

This brew has a clear pale gold/straw color, with a volumous cream foam head on the top. Nice wheat characteristics with some lemon zest for the scent. Soft bread, lemon, wheat, banana, spice. Great taste, some acidity on the tounge, hail the german wheat machine.

Awesome head typical of a well made weiss. Cloudy orange-amber color. Leaves a touch of lace on the glass.
This has a very clean smell. There are some notes of lemon and orange zest as well as all spice and nutmeg. The wheat aroma predominates throughout.
Strong orange flavors appear in the wheat taste. There are anise like touches while hold the liquid in the mouth. Not as sour as some wheats. And I would describe the flavor as slightly muted compared to other "louder" weiss beers. This is a full bodied beer with a high level of carbonation.
All in all a very clean and refreshing wheat beer.

this pours out a clean and clear golden with a fat white head that leaves behind some nice lacing. the nose is very clean, light, hints of malt and yeast. crisp in the mouth, refreshing and smooth. flavor wise its a winner as well. much sweeter than anticipated with a strong honey character. a little grainy and some yeast is in effect as well (think subdued heffe). slightly metallic and ends on a sweet note (vanilla?). not a great beer, but good. clean and crisp, enough flavor to fit the bill....not bad.

Hacker-Pschorr's Weisse Kristall is the "clear" alternative to their regular hefeweizen. With the filtering of the yeast, I thought that this beer would suffer from a severe lack of character and flavor. Not so! This beer is very refreshing and has almost all the elements that you would find in a regular hefeweizen.
This brew pours a crystal-clear golden color with a nice foamy head that sticks around for a few minutes, leaves very little lace and eventually vanishes into nothingness. The smell is very nice and on the sweet side. A sweet banana flavor is the dominant trait with some light spicy notes. I'd say the smell is a bit more assertive than Hacker-Pschorr's regular weisse. The mouthfeel is crisp and moderately carbonated. As mentioned, this does indeed taste like a hefeweizen. The sweet banana flavors are here along with some very light spiciness. There is some citric presence and a hint of butteriness too. The flavor is slightly lighter and sweeter than the regular hefe and is less dry too but it is still an agreeable brew. The aftertaste is quite clean with just some lingering flavor notes and the brew finishes off with no alcoholic warmth.
I was actually surprised that this turned out to be a nicely flavored beer. In Germany, the kristallklar weizens are the ones generally served with a lemon nice. Trust me, you do not need lemon with this one. Another fine Hacker-Pschorr bier.

How to build a Kanban board
When I arrived here at Allbus S.r.l. as a consultant two weeks ago, the team was busy developing a managerial web application. After having become aquainted with my new colleagues, we started looking for improvements on the informal development process that was in place, and choose a simple tool to collect TODOs and model the flow of work from its definition to completion: a Kanban board.
In the software development field, the word Kanban denotes a simple methodology, much less prescriptive than Scrum and Extreme Programming. Kanban does not tell you if you should write tests before or after the production code they exercise, or how to plan iterations. Actually, it does not tell you even to work in iterations.
In fact, Kanban is a scheduling system, which takes the stories to implement as an input and displays them in the different phases they are in. The only tool needed to implement this system is a Kanban board, which we built in less than an hour with already available materials.
How it works
Here's how a Kanban board works in 100 words.
- You divide the board in vertical columns, one for each different phase in which a story can be. For example you can probably start with a division such as TODO, developmennt, QA testing, Done.
- Then, you set up a number (WIP) limit for each intermediate column, and no more than this number of stories can be in that state at any time.
- Stories advance from the first state to the last one when there is space available: they are pulled in subsequent stages from the developers who intend to work on them.
What are the advantages of using such a simple tool?
For starters, having a single inbox where TODOs go. I was overhelmed by the list of tasks that come to mind here and which I may explore with the team later. Some sort of collection bin is the primary tool of every time management system, and our first column acts as one.
Another primary goal is to minimize work in progress (WIP for friends). In incremental development, every story either provides 100% value (it is fully functional) or 0% (it's not working and it is not visible to the end user.): there are no intermediate values as they are too difficult to estimate. Therefore, we must favor completing a story over starting development on another one. Kanban places explicit limtis, chosen by the team, over the number of stories in development at the same time.
A consequence of limiting WIP is improving lead time: the time it takes for an item to go from the TODO to the Done state (these are the names we have chosen for our first and last column).
The Done column also shows work completed to the team to augment the self confidence of its components.
WIP limits on each stage are useful in finding the bottlenecks in the development process. When a stage is full, the whole board stalls as well and the focus of the entire team is put on resolving the bottleneck.
By adding and removing columns as they fit in our first-hand experience, we can empirically model the currently informal process. For example, we started with 4 columns and switch to 5 today when we noticed we were dedicating a small design discussion phase to each story prior to jump into the code.
So here's how we built our Kanban board from scratch, and how you can do it too as a team or as a freelancer.
- We found an old plastic board, which we firmly attached to the wall. A board is more visible than any sheet or online but tracking tool when a team member enter the office.
- We chose Post-it notes to represent stories: each story (or task) goes on a single Post-it, which can be moved along the board. Besides the story description, on the Post-it there is also the date of creation and of completion.
- We used colored adhesive tape to divide the board in columns, knowing that this tape is easy to remove and the columns could be adjusted in the future if they do not fit the team workflow. If you have a white board, you can use markers instead.
- We decided the WIP limits for the central stages basing on the number of developers available for them, so that no one is sitting idle, but we do not embark in ten different stories at the same time. We intend to experiment with different limits of course.
- We got a bunch of different Post-it colors to use for different projects in the same board. The WIP limits are considered global for each column, since even when there are different projects people's time is still the same.
Note that all the team is responsible for each story (cross-functional teams are all the rage in Agile methodologies). Often someone is responsible for a subset of the columns, given its expertise on development or quality assurance or on the business domain.
If you feel some process improvement can be put in place in your team, but you do not want to introduce a full-fledged Agile methodology like Scrum and XP, nothing stops you from trying out Kanban. You can also find useful our Refcard. Happy exploration!

Jani Hartikainen replied on Thu, 2010/09/02 - 2:22am
We've used JIRA with some plugins at Fudeco to emulate a virtual kanban board. It works surprisingly well, if you ignore the fact that JIRA is pretty confusing at times =)
The plugin we use is some agile view thing (not sure what exactly it's called), but you can customize it to choose the colums you want to be able to put the tasks in. It does not let you define limits on how many items can be in a column at one time, but we just added a number after the column's name to remind us how many could be there.

New Orleans, La. - Will Smith is out for the year with an unspecified injury, according to our partners at the Times Picayune and nola.com. The story was first reported by profootballtalk.com.
Smith was playing a new position at outside linebacker this season. His injury comes at a time when the Saints are thin at the position. Victor Butler was lost during OTA's and Junior Galette and Martez Wilson have both been injured all preseason.
Galette and Wilson are both expected back for the start of the regular season.
On the roster the Saints have Jay Richardson, Baraka Atkins and undrafted rookie Eric Martin.
They could also search the waiver wire around the league as teams must cut their rosters down to 75 by Tuesday and 53 by Saturday.

Honeywell TrueSTEAM direct-injection humidifiers provide the high performance and efficiency of steam humidification with easier maintenance than traditional humidifiers. The patented Condensate Collect Dome and beveled nozzle keep water in the tank, delivering only true steam into your duct's airflow. TrueSTEAM provides your home with high-capacity true humidity, while using up to 70% less water than flow-through humidifiers. It automatically fills with water and drains when needed, so you don't have to remember to do it. On top of that, TrueSTEAM actually controls your homes HVAC equipment for maintaining desirable humidity levels in your home year-round. Wiring to your HVAC equipment allows TrueSTEAM to supply humidity when you need it by turning on your equipment automatically. TrueSTEAM has the built-in intelligence to shut down when humidity is not needed for an extended period. After 48 hours of inactivity, TrueSTEAM will drain its tank and remain empty until it is needed again. This prevents water from stagnating within the tank.
Maintenance is also made simple with the TrueSTEAM—just remove the water tank for cleaning. TrueSTEAM's internal system diagnostics monitor system operation and maintenance schedules as well as system faults. The LED light panel on the TrueSTEAM lets you know that the humidifier is operating correctly, when maintenance is needed, and when it is safe to remove the tank for cleaning. The push buttons allow the tank to be drained for cleaning, and quickly return to operation when the tank is reattached to the humidifier.
This unit comes with the VisionPRO IAQ Total Comfort System YTH9421C1002. Unit can be remote mounted with optional remote mount kit . (Please click on the Accessories tab above.) Click here to view Honeywell's installation overview video of this steam humidifier.

So far, so good for Matt Kenseth and new crew chief Todd Parrott.
Kenseth said he was "feeling great" after opening the season with consecutive top 10 finishes, placing seventh Sunday in California.
The Roush Fenway Racing team replaced Drew Blickensderfer one race into the season after the Daytona 500, leaving Parrott atop the pit box.
"It sounds dumb, me saying that, since we won the first two last year," Kenseth said. "But to get out of Daytona with all the troubles we had and finish eighth, then to come in here in Todd's first weekend and finish seventh is pretty good."
Kenseth said he ran as good or better than his teammates at times and was as good as most Fords in general, which helped his mood.
"I still think we've got some work to do to get all of our cars better as a group, but I thought overall that our team did a good job," he said.
As for Parrott, the crew chief said he was "very, very happy."
"I think we made some huge gains from where we were over the winter, so I think we're heading in the right direction," Parrott said.

Realtors raise over $1.5 million for Habitat tsunami effort
Realtors raise over $1.5 million for Habitat tsunami effort
WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 15, 2005)—The National Association of Realtors, which launched a fund-raising effort Jan. 4, to raise $1 million for Habitat for Humanity International's tsunami rebuild efforts, has exceeded its goal collecting more than $1.5 million in contributions from Realtors and state and local associations.
The organization presented Habitat for Humanity with a check for $1.572,783 at a press conference at NAR's new Washington, D.C., office building. The contribution included $50,000 donated by NAR to start the project. Funds will be used to build "Realtor Villages" for families displaced during the Dec. 26 tsunami that devastated the Indian Ocean basin.
"The magnitude of personal suffering caused by the tsunami, in number of deaths and injuries to people, and destruction of homes and property, is astounding," said NAR President Al Mansell, CEO of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Salt Lake City. "NAR feels that since our mission is housing, it would be appropriate to assist tsunami victims by providing them shelter. We have an ongoing relationship with Habitat for Humanity and we are impressed with how extremely efficient the organization has been in getting donated dollars to people in need."
NAR launched an organization-wide effort after learning of Habitat's efforts to build transitional housing for victims living in deplorable camps. In just days after the disaster, the Realtors pledged to help Habitat raise the initial $25 million goal it set to house 25,000 families over the next two years. Overwhelming response from Realtors sparked the idea to establish Realtor Villages, which will be composed of permanent housing units that, in some cases, will be built on the foundation of previous homes. Each "core unit" will comprise one room and a veranda under a roof, plus sanitary facilities and will be expandable into larger homes following the initial building phase. At least 1,000 housing units will be built in India, Thailand, Sri Lanka and the Sumatra area of Indonesia.
"This is an outstanding accomplishment by the Realtors who initiated this effort only a couple of months ago," said Tom Jones, managing director of the Washington Habitat for Humanity office. "We are both humbled and inspired by their rapid response and their generous level of giving."
All of the administrative costs of the conducting the Realtor Tsunami Relief Project are being absorbed by NAR; 100 percent of all donations are going directly to Habitat for Humanity International for construction of the Realtor Villages.
About The National Association of Realtors
The National Association of Realtors, "The Voice for Real Estate," is America's largest trade association, representing one million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries. Information about NAR is available at www.realtor.org. This and other news releases are posted in the Web site's "News Media" section in the NAR Media Center.
About Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity International, based in Americus, Ga., is an ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. By the end of 2005, Habitat will have built its 200,000th house and more than one million people will be living in Habitat homes they helped build. www.habitat.org

Random advice from other people
From Sean Carroll. ``I tell my students to watch out for the thing that doesn't quite fit, the detail that would be easy to ignore. It sometimes happens that the unexpected residual signal you don't understand will lead to a discovery. More often, it is an artifact of the instrument or analysis, and even if it is real, it may not be what you first think. But the path forward is usually to choose a hypothesis, make a prediction, and test it. You may not find what you are looking for, but what you find may help you see the universe in a new way.''

If you would have asked Lee Peck where he would have been living back in January 2005, he would have never thought it would be back in Southwest Louisiana. "I grew up in Westlake watching Channel 7 and always knew I wanted to work in T.V. News. However, I never dreamed I would stay in Louisiana," said Lee. "I now know moving back home was one of the best decisions I ever made and take pride in reporting on the issues from where I grew up."
Before returning to Lake Charles, Lee received his degree in Mass Communication from Louisiana State University. While in school he interned at our sister station WAFB Channel 9, where he was hired on as a desk assistant. Upon graduation, Lee had his first real job in T.V. News as WAFB's Internet producer. Not long after he was promoted to fill-in producer and even did some fill-in reporting on weekends.
In May of 2005, Lee got the opportunity to return home as our 6 and 10 o'clock producer. His new role at Channel 7 would be put to the test five months later, when Hurricane Rita hit the Gulf Coast. It was during that time the news team worked 24 hours a day living at the station, then evacuating to the hospital all the while staying on air throughout the entire storm. Lee says, "This was a time when getting the news to the viewers was crucial. It truly was life saving information we were delivering."
In the storm's aftermath, Lee jumped in front of the camera and began telling the stories of Rita's recovery. "There were so many stories to tell. Everyone had their own personal struggles and triumphs and I'm just glad I had the opportunity to share their stories," said Lee.
Two and a half years later, Lee is now our Nightside reporter and was recently promoted to weekend co-anchor on Saturday's 7 News at Six broadcast. Lee says every story is important, whether it's the lead or not. "The best advice I ever received was from my news director at Channel 9. She always tried to impress upon me to just tell a good story. Every time I write a story I always keep that in the back of my mind and try to find new ways to engage the viewer. To be honest I try to keep it fun," said Lee.
Several of Lee's stories have been honored by the Louisiana Associated Press Broadcasters Association. Most recently, he received a 1st Place Honor for his Curfew Crackdown series and was also awarded "Story of the Year," which featured an Army widow's story.

The ESPM major allows students to develop environmental expertise across a broad sciences and policy spectrum. All ESPM students take similar classes their first year, then choose one of the following tracks as a focus.
ESPM Tracks (see requirements and sample 4-year plans via the links below):
Each ESPM track integrates coursework in environmental policy, management, communication, and law with coursework in the applied aspects of social, physical, and biological sciences. This integration gives students the ability to approach environmental problems from multiple perspectives. In this way, ESPM majors are distinct from more discipline-specific environmental majors.
In all ESPM tracks, students further define their area of expertise by working with a faculty advisor to select courses that meet the student's interests and career goals. For example, in the Environmental Science track, students can specialize in areas such as hydrology, wetland science, or soil science. In addition to classroom studies, ESPM students receive many research and hands-on learning opportunities.
Why Major in ESPM? Environmental issues cause problems with ecosystem health, sustainability, water quality degradation, global climate change, and environmental pollution. Solutions to such interrelated problems require environmental professionals from a broad array of disciplines to collaborate and to consider multiple factors and perspectives.
For more information, visit the Environmental Sciences, Policy, and Management website.
Major Requirements: See links at left for each ESPM track.
4-Year Plans: See links at left.

Which catalog?
Library catalog history
Keep in mind that when you are searching a library catalog:
- You are not searching the full-text of any books.
- You can not find articles in the library catalog.
The library catalog was originally a card catalog such as those pictured below.The online catalog still doesn't contain much more information on a specific book than these index cards did in the past. For this reason you need to be persistent when searching the online catalog. Many important keywords might not appear in the catalog record for a particular book, so make sure you try different synonyms if you don't find any good results at first.
Photo of card catalog from OSU Archives on Flickr.
Photo of card catalog index card by dfulmer on Flickr.
Searching Library Catalogs
It's often best to start your research by looking for books in the library catalogs. At Berkeley we have two different library catalogs. Oskicat is almost always the best place to start.
Use OskiCat to locate materials on the shelves of the UC Berkeley libraries and also to:
- renew books online
- find course reserves and to
- place holds on items that are checked out.
Use Melvyl to locate materials at other campuses in the UC system, or worldwide, and also to
- request materials from another library if we don't own it
- find articles from some article databases
- easily format a citation for copying into a bibliography Melvyl will also show you the location and availablity of items that we own.
Oskicat Tips
- Search for author's name using the author search, e.g., Smith, Zadie
- Combine topics using a keyword search, e.g., banned books and united states
- Use an asterisk as a wildcard, author* finds authority, authorship, etc.
- Limit results by language (Modify search)
- You can browse topics using the Subject links. To find secondary literature on a particular author, you can search for their name and look for "criticism and interpretation:"
- Use My Oskicat to view your library account and renew books
- Use the Request button to:
- page books in NRLF and
- recall books that are checked out
- Be persistent!
Getting Material from NRLF
A large part of the library's collection is stored off campus at the Northern Regional Library Facility [NRLF].
Use the REQUEST button in OskiCat to borrow material at the NRLF. To receive electronic or paper copies of book chapters or journal articles, submit an online request via the "Request an article from NRLF (photocopy or web delivery)" link that appears in eligible titles in OskiCat.
Log in to Request with your Calnet ID and fill out the screens. Choose the volume you want, for periodicals:

City council candidates in Kalispell are squaring off October 14 at city hall.
In Kalispell's upcoming city council elections in November, only ward three is a contested seat with three people running for the same position. At 7:00 p.m. on October 14 in city hall, those three will be talking about their opinions on multiple issues, including the expansion of the Kalispell Municipal Airport.
"My objective is to develop city government so that it is helpful to businesses," said Jim Atkinson.
Atkinson, the incumbent in office for twenty-five years, is the only candidate who wants to use federal dollars to expand the Kalispell airport. He is also the only candidate with any political experience.
"Quite frankly, I don't like taking any money from the government. Usually there's strings attached and seeing the fiascos going on up there right now, do I want that in my backyard? No," said Jason Mueller.
Karlene Ssorio-Khor echoes Mueller's thoughts, but unlike Mueller, she has a set political agenda that includes revisiting impact fees and parking downtown.
"Often people say to me, they think I speak well," said Osorio-Khor, "but they have no idea how much I practice. That's the kind of work ethic I want to bring to city council."
As for term goals, Osorio-Khor and Atkinson both have their eyes set on downtown.
"I think the thing that's going to be most exciting about our near future is the downtown core redevelopment," said Atkinson.
One thing all three share is nerves before the forum, moderated by the outgoing mayor, Tammi Fisher, posing questions vetted by current council members not seeking re-election. Public safety and capital reserve funding are issues included in the five areas designated for discussion, alongside impact fees and the city airport. Election day is November 5.
Outgoing councilman, Jeff Zauner, will keep time.
Government access channel nine will broadcast the forum live.

Wake Endoscopy Center hopes to expand its Clayton practice to an existing office building south of downtown.
The proposed $2.9 million project, which is subject to state approval, calls for two procedure rooms in addition to office space where doctors could meet with patients, said Cindy Groce, administrator for Wake Endoscopy Center LLC.
The practice would be at 900 S. Lombard St., near West Clayton Elementary School.
"This is a needed service and will provide an alternative to hospitals," Groce said.
Wake Endoscopy Center, which operates within a network of Raleigh Medical Group facilities, has a central office in Raleigh and a satellite location in Wake Forest. But doctors from Wake Endoscopy already serve Clayton patients through space the company leases at Johnston Professional Plaza in Clayton. State records show that about 10 percent of Wake Endoscopy's patients in 2011 came from Johnston County.
Dr. Kerry Whitt, one of eight Wake Endoscopy physicians, handles most endoscopy procedures in Clayton. Whitt would continue to be the main doctor in the new space, Groce said.
In April, Wake Endoscopy and Five GIS Rex Properties LLC applied for a certificate of need from the state to open the new facility. North Carolina requires medical providers to obtain certificates of need as a way to regulate the number of medial facilities in an area. State records show the entities paid a $10,674 application fee.
Five GIS Rex Properties owns the building that houses Wake Endoscopy's central office on Lake Drive in Raleigh.
A public hearing on the Clayton project is scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday, June 19, at Hocutt-Ellington Memorial Library, 100 S. Church St. Public hearings are sometimes part of the state's certificate of need process, according to the N.C. Division of Health Service Regulation.
Johnston Health officials plan to speak at the public hearing, said Suzette Rodriguez, a spokeswoman for the hospital. She said it's too early to say what impact the proposed facility would have on Johnston Health.
The new facility would be located in the Clayton Professional Center on Lombard Street. Groce said Wake Endoscopy plans to purchase the building, where Labcorp rents office space. Wake Endoscopy would continue to lease space to Labcorp, she said.
The facility would include 4,000 square feet for two procedure rooms and 1,500 square feet of office space.
"There is definitely a need," Groce said. "We are very busy down there."

One of the colors featured in our Summer 2013 Estella Organic Cotton Collection, moss is the perfect hue to wear during that awkward transition from summer to fall, when, despite the head outside, kids are trading their swimsuits for backpacks. The collection's breezy fabric will keep your little ones cool and comfortable while the dark green is a perfectly appropriate color for fall. And for those cooler days, follow Brinley's lead and double up on our Michael T-Shirts! Oh, and did we mention that the entire collection is on sale right now?
