After the lager I tried this lovely pils at Fässla.
It is a clear golden color with a pillowy white head. Laces wonderfully.
Super light and clean. There isn't too much going on, but everything there just kills about any other pils I have had. There are light grains and hops running around yet not as hoppy as say a fresh Urquell. This is where fresh drinking and great brewing collide. Gotta try this while in the 'Berg!

50cl serving in seidel at Faessla, Bamberg
A - Golden body with excellent clarity. Average retention/lacing on the 2 finger creamy white head
S- Earthy hop with notes of lemon,pepper
T - Biscuity malt with lemon hint. Earthy hop comes through but malt still dominates in clean finish.
M - Medium body and carbonation.
D- Tasty stuff, typical franconian lager. Perhaps needs more hop presence to make it more of a pils.

500ml bottle
A- Pale golden, great clarity. Two fingers white head, pretty dense for the style. Nice retention, decent lacing
S- Quite weak, even for the style. A touch if grassy bitterness and some floral notes
T- Grainy malts, with that typical pilsner crackery crispness. Slight, delicate fruitiness on the palate (lemon, apple). Grassy/floral, bittering finish, not that i could actually recognize any particular flavour, just a good dose of clean, refreshing bitterness
M- Light body, average carbonation brings a bit of life. Just nice, nothing remarkable
O- Highly drinkable, refreshing, perfectly balanced. Basically all you would expect from a bavarian pilsner. Maybe just a bit too anonymous

On tap, served into half litre handled Pils glass. Pale colour, large foamy head, clear. Noble hop smell, fairly fresh, reminded me of a north german pils. Tasted a nice balanced hoppy bitterness, nutty aftertaste. Moderate carbonation but was still easy to drink. Standard refreshing Pils, well made but more like something found in north germany than Bamberg

Served on-draught into a 25cl Fassla glass in Bamberg. Reviewed from notes. Expectations were pretty moderate; I tend to prefer Czech Pilsners to German Pilseners.
A: Pours a two finger head of no cream, decent thickness, and below average retention. Colour is a clear yellow.
Sm: Slight cream and plain clean barley. A very light strength aroma.
T: Clean barley as a foundation. A hoppy climax. Some underlying cream. Very simple but also quite refreshing. Balanced to an extent.
Mf: Smooth with nice coarseness on the climax. Wet. Refreshing.
Dr: Average ABV. It slides down easily enough, but it's far from special.

On Tap at Fassla Brewery, Bamberg Sat in the hallway seating area. Great atmosphere.
.5L Golden Pils served in Pils
A- Clear Light Gold, fluffy two finger head with good retention, minimal lacing.
S- Has deep floral and citrus notes. Smells very aromatic, but also has a touch of skunkiness.
T- Nothing special, a soft maltiness with a lot of hops thrown in at the end. Mellow bitter aftertaste.
M- Medium bodied, mild carbonation, crisp finish.
D- This is a decent beer. I wouldn't have it again however.

The liquid is clear, the colour pale gold. The 1½ finger high head is off-white. Some lacing occurs.
The smell brings some bitter flavours. Some moss, but it is mostly clean and mild.
The taste starts with a clean and powerful bitterness. Some mils sweet notes. Quite clean, if it hadnät been for a slight vegetable-DMS flavour. The aftertaste is clean and balanced with a dry bitterness. Hints of beef stock in the finish.
The carbonation is medium strong; the fresh bubbles are medium sized. Light dry liquid.
Some DMS, otherwise a fine dry clean pilsener.

Pretty okay pils that's leaning more in the Czech direction than most of the German ones.
Standard straw yellow that's definitely a few shades lighter than their hell and some other pils beers in town.
The flavor is ultra-creamy with just a hint of (mostly acceptable) diacetyl. The finish is malty, and overall I'd say it reminds me a bit of Urquell, but not quite as good. Hops are there, but are fairly mild.
I think this one misses the mark a bit just because of the high standard of their other brews and the other pils brews in the area.
That said, if you favor the Czech pilsners , this might be right up your alley. Personally, I thought the lagerbier hell and schwarz were much better.
(Edit: I had this beer 2 years later and it was worlds better. In fact, it was one of the best pilsners I've had. No diacetyl, very fresh, and hoppy without being bitter. I suppose that's worth taking into account.)

Picked up one of these at the brewery in Bamberg, from cask. At the brewery, they served lager and pils...pils seemed to be the drink of choice for most patrons, at least in April.
A- Poured an ultra clear deep golden(a little darker than other Pils) with a one-finger thick fluffy white head. Head was almost creamy/velvety in appearance. Moderate lace remained. The appearance was really nice.
S- Strongly bready, with minor undertones of yeast. Straw, roasted malt. Nutty with a bite, almost peppery. While all these descriptors might sound nice, they were all kind of muted.
T: Bready malt hits first, followed by some typical German hops. Despite being fresh, from a cask, at the brewery, the hops tasted funky, and not in a good way. They provided a decent amount of bitterness, but not a whole lot of flavor. The bready notes were nice, and the straw-hoppy finish was pretty balanced and nice.
M- Light-medium bodied with a decent bite. The texture was fairly creamy and enjoyable.
D- Overall a pretty average Pils, maybe a little below. I was eager to finish this and get back to their Lager.
I'd pass on this again, but glad I had it because it was definitely a bit different that most of the other Pils I had.

I first tasted a Fässla offering at the Bamberger Biertage this year. I was not impressed by the specialty brew that they presented and thought that one of their standard offerings would beer more to my liking. I was wrong. The beer pours wonderfully with a white head about a finger thick and a steady carb stream clearly visible through the clear gold body. I can only describe the aroma as funky. Malt sweetness is detected. but, it is mostly a wet hay kind of aroma that pervades. The spicy hop notes are barely detectable. Overall I found the scent to be kind of unpleasant. After taking the first sip I had to double check myself and make sure that I hadn't pour carbonated water into my glass. Actual flavor in this beer is almost non-existent. Only after the sour aftertaste kicked in did I accept that it was beer that i was drinking. Not really a drain-pour, but not far off. The mouthfeel, however, was light and refreshing with the perfect level of carbonation to tickle the tongue.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this beer to anyone. There are many breweries in Bamberg, I would suggest any of them, with the exception of Fässla.

Another one of the great beers express mailed over to me from Bavaria. Pours well, actually looks slightly cloudy straw color. Smells wonderful. Tastes like a Bavarian pils very clean with a pleasant afetertaste. One might say a little spicy. Smooth and very drikable, wish I had more.

umm...unremarkable pils. i enjoyed drinking it because it was beer, but i'm not about to buy a case of it. some foam above the light gold body. the hop character was commendable, with some nice bitterness and floral notes. i got what i expected: a golden German lager

I had this from a wooden cask at the brewery.
A: Very clear, brownish-yellow. Fluffy white head, some retention and lace.
S: Peppery hops (Saaz & Spalt?) with a bready undertone.
T: Lots of spicy hop flavour, a little bread & caramel. Clean, crisp bitterness.
M: Moderate body is fairly creamy. Light to moderate carbonation.
D: Very drinkable.
Probably the best Pils I've ever had!

BB 1-12-05. Nice head that's lasting and a opalizing light golden beer. Nose is clean and full malty and shows a slight hopnose. For a pils IMO litle too malty and could have some more hops but overal clean. As is taste that gives good maltyness, litle maltsweet and very nicely bittered. Yes this is very enjoyable and good carbonisation gives it a fine mouthfeel. One of the easiest srinkable pilseners I know and one I'll meet again if I'm near Bamberg.

Huge head, nicely creamy, lasting on a transparent pale golden color body. The smell is malty and sweet, slightly dry, but not annoyingly grainy. The taste is clean and crisp, malty and sweet with refreshing notes of citrus. Aftertaste gets hoppy and dry, in a flat way (on the whole tongue). Mouthfeel is round, smooth, very enjoyable, lightly bready. Well crafted. One of my favorite pilsners to date.

Sampled on tap from a wooden barrel at the brewery in Bamberg.
This pils poured a clear, gold color with creamy white foam that settled but clung and left lace. The smell was a clean, mild malty aroma. The taste was malty with hints of bread followed by a some floral hops and finally some bitter hops in the finish. Overall a rather mild flavor. The mouthfeel was smooth and dry with medium-light body and modest carbonation. There was a mild lingering hoppy aftertaste. This was a good pils, but a bit light on flavor and body overall.

This beer is bright gold in color, the bright them carries through to the taste as well. It has a definite hop bitterness to it, and it is accompanied by a mild maltiness to it. It finishes with a nice hop / carbanation bite that hits your tongue and says pay attention to me.

The Intersections Council and the student activities office have named "The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates" by Wes Moore as the common reading book for the summer of 2013.
All incoming first-year students are assigned to read the book before fall classes begin, and it will be used during instruction in Intersections, Central's required first-year course. Intersections asks students to study human nature through various perspectives.
"The common reading program at Central College began in 2008 and has become a staple of the first-year experience," said Jeremy Siefken, director of student involvement and first-year class director. "The goal of the program at Central is to model intellectual engagement and to develop a communal experience among our first-year students, orientation leaders, faculty, staff and the rest of the campus community."
Each year the common reading book is selected by a committee that includes both faculty and students. Books are chosen based on how well they apply to the themes presented in Intersections. "The Other Wes Moore" tells the story of two men with the same name who grew up in the same neighborhood. One became a Rhodes Scholar and decorated veteran while the other is serving a life sentence for felony murder.
"The book, in true reflective nature, prompts its reader to consider what makes us who we are—how our family, social institutions, etc., contribute to a sense of self and how one can create change," Siefken said.
Before completing "The Other Wes Moore," Moore graduated as a commissioned officer from Valley Forge Military College in 1998 and from John Hopkins University in 2001, earning a bachelor's degree in international relations. He later studied international relations at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar.
Moore was a paratrooper and captain in the U.S. Army and served a combat tour of duty in Afghanistan with the 1st Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division. He then worked as a White House Fellow to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Moore is also the host of "Beyond Belief" on the Oprah Winfrey Network and founded the organization STAND!, which works with Baltimore youth involved in the criminal justice system.
"It is important to the selection committee that the chosen book exposes students to cultural differences, varying perspectives, values, beliefs, experiences and ideas and helps them begin to make meaning through connections: connections to self, Central College and the world," said Siefken.

Palo Alto Recycling Center to close Feb. 1

Look for more dumping in the Baylands, sidestreets, freeway, and commercial/industrial parking lots. Someone will clean up the mess I guess. So much for Palo Alto claiming to be "the Green City". Now the almighty buck rules with an incompetent city manager and council. What a pity!
on Jan 29, 2012 at 8:20 pm
The Goodwill Store is on West Meadow not East. Actually El Camino Way.
on Jan 29, 2012 at 8:28 pm
I suspect most people will put everything in either the blue, green or black bins. Most people won't dump the stuff illegally, but won't bother taking them anywhere else. Who can blame them?
on Jan 29, 2012 at 8:40 pm
This is so G-D stupid I cannot believe it. It is really nice to have a place to go to get rid of things and recycle them
and the land out there as long as the airport and dump are there functioning like they are now
too much noise and too much stink
there is not reason to open up a big park because no one is going to want to be there.
There are more people going out to walk at the baylands lately but that happens this time every year as people resolve to walk more.
What Palo Alto should have done is to get rid of the airport and start a landfill there is it could be done, and maybe move the golfcourse over the stinky area which would give them a reason and constituency to get something done about the sewage plant.
Palo Alto is so incompetently managed it's pathetic.
on Jan 30, 2012 at 10:21 am
Anon, the "dump" closed last July!! It's not 'stinky' out there. Have you been there lately?
on Jan 30, 2012 at 10:58 am
It is always gonna be stinky, but just because it's so marshy around there. Even the airport section gets stinky on certain days of the week. Hell, even the Dumbarton Bridge gets stinky on humid days.
But if you get directly downwind of the dump, where there's this perpetual dirt churning vehicle, it's still really stinky.
If they covered up all of that excess dirt with vegetation, it might be a halfway decent area.
It certainly helps that the million seagulls at the dump found somewhere else to go. Last year, around this time, you could have filmed a sequel to "The Birds" near the recycling center.

I'm hardly going to make a special trip to Household Hazardous Waste on the first Saturday of the month before 12 noon to drop off a burned out "energy saving" fluorescent light bulb--I'd be more likely to toss it in the garbage. These are full of MERCURY. Wish the city would now devise a method to put these in the regular trash pick up. I don't mean the long tubes, I mean the little spiral bulbs.
on Jan 30, 2012 at 2:28 pm
Many hardware stores will accept old fluorescent bulbs free of charge...old batteries as well. Next.

OK. I've been looking for a place to dump used needles used for insulin. I would also like to purchase a bio-hazard box to store them in. Where can I do this Problem Solver?
on Jan 30, 2012 at 10:47 pm
Most, if not all, pharmacies should have sharps containers for sale.
The closed box can be disposed of at PA's monthly hazardous disposal day (1st Saturday of the month) or at one of the locations listed here,

The closest one appears to be
Los Altos Pharmacy

If you need a place to recycle your aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles, there are rePLANET sites located in the parking lot of different markets. Palo Alto's is at 164 S. California Ave (next to Mollie Stone's)
on Jan 31, 2012 at 8:25 pm
If you bring your filled-up sharps container to the PA Hazardous Waste dropoff, they will give you a free empty container -- or at least they used to do that; with the cutbacks, maybe they won't.

My kids' school joined a clothing recycling fundraiser with a company called goodthrift. They basically pay our school by the pound for the clothing and shoes we collect... So it's a win-win situation. Better alternative than giving it to a thrift store. Their website: goodthrift.com

Can anyone tell me where I can recycle styrofoam? And I do agree with the comment that it is quite cumbersome to go someplace that's open once a month to recycle old light bulbs. Wish they could pick them up like they do batteries.
on Jul 23, 2012 at 8:23 am
Only have a place for packing peanuts. UPS stores will take them.

(13 On Your Side) - Law enforcement and the Arizona Highway Patrol Association are saddened by the loss of Officer Tim Huffman, who was killed while on duty after a crash near Wellton last night.
Huffman, 47, was on scene helping to investigate an injury collision on interstate 8, about 40 miles east of Yuma, when a truck failed to yield at a closed lane on the highway.
The driver of the semi-truck, 33-year-old Jorge Espinoza, first crashed into DPS Captain George Anderson's parked patrol car, which then crashed into Huffman's patrol car. He died from the impact. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, as of today, law enforcement fatalities are up 21%. Huffman's death happened the same day the Arizona Highway Patrol Association paid their respects to the 28 DPS officers killed in the line of duty during their yearly fall officer memorial.

We are personally loving her new look. She's gorgeous as a blonde, of course, but the new color really brings with it sophistication and drama. And since she also dyed her eyebrows to match, she shows a strong commitment to the color.
Jennifer went to certified Great Lengths stylists Riawna Capri and Nikki Lee of Nine Zero One Salon in West Hollywood to get the look for her new movie, Some Girls. Of the look, they said, "Since Jen is only planning on being a redhead for a month or so, we added in Great Lengths Extensions to help make the color look richer and more vibrant. She looks stunning!"
What do you think of Jennifer's new look? Let us know in the comments!

DURHAM — Laurence Lovette rejected a plea deal offer in the slaying of a Duke University graduate engineering student, it was revealed Monday in Durham County Superior Court.
No details of the deal proposed by the Durham County District Attorney's Office were released, but Lovette decided to plead not guilty and go to trial. Jury selection for the trial began Monday. Lovette is charged with robbery and murder in the 2008 death of 29-year-old Abhijit Mahato, who was found shot to death Jan. 18 at his off-campus Durham apartment.
He is serving a life sentence without parole for the 2008 fatal shooting of Eve Carson, student body president at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Presiding Judge Jim Hardin approved a defense motion this morning that prohibits the prosecution from referring to Carson's slaying during jury selection and opening remarks.
Lovette is represented by Durham attorneys Karen Bethea-Shields and Kevin Bradley. Jim Dornfried and Stormy Ellis are prosecutors on the case.

CATEGORIES Foreign Language, Horror, Independent, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Thrillers, Awards, Mystery & Suspense, Remakes and Sequels, Cinematical Indie, Awards, CinematicalA few days ago, Slither-maker James Gunn mentioned on his MySpace page that his adorably splattery sci-fi horror rom-com was the receipient of four Fangoria Chainsaw Award nominations. My response was "Hey, cool. Where are the rest of the nominations?!?!?" And now, a few days later, here they are. Neat-o.
Although Fangoria has been doing their annual Chainsaw awards for over a decade now, 2006 marks the very first time the event will be televised, much to the delight of zombie freaks and slasher geeks all over North America. The event will be held in L.A. on October 15th, although the Fuse Network won't be airing it until the 22nd. (Which means if you want to watch the event "un-spoiled," I wish you luck.) Want to throw your own votes into the tally? Fine. You can vote right here, but only between September 1st and 13th (which is a Friday, mwaahaaa!)
After the jump you'll find a complete list of all the 2006 Chainsaw nominees, plus my own predictions on which flicks would win if the event were called Amazing Geek Weinberg's Horror Awards instead of The Chainsaws.
(My preferred winners are in BOLD. Let's see if I get any right.)
Killer Movie (Best Horror Film): The Descent, The Devil's Rejects, The Hills Have Eyes, Hostel, Wolf Creek
Geeky Commentary: I still don't get the appeal of Rob Zombie's ridiculous movies. And Wolf Creek for best movie over Slither or Silent Hill? Guh! Hell, Saw 2 is better than Wolf Creek. No complaints otherwise, but if The Descent doesn't win this category, I'll be stunned.
Most Thrilling Killing (Best Death Scene): The drive-thru scene from Final Destination 3, the train suicide from Hostel, the decapitation from The Omen, the blade-box from Saw 2, the crotch-bite from Snakes on a Plane
GC: Solid picks, but there were much better kills in Hostel than the train scene!
Dude You Don't Wanna Mess With (Best Hero): Jay Hernandez in Hostel, King Kong in King Kong, Nathan Fillion in Slither, Samuel L. Jackson in Snakes on a Plane, Scott Speedman in Underworld: Evolution
GC: Much as I love Jackson's Kong, I don't count it as a true-blue horror movie, so my pick goes elsewhere. I would have picked Mr. Fillion, although he plays more of a likably amiable lug than a true bad-ass, so the obvious choice is the eternally slick mofo known as Sam Ell.
Chick You Don't Wanna Mess With (Best Heroine): Shauna Macdonald in The Descent, Laura Linney in The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Anna Faris in Scary Movie 4, Radha Mitchell in Silent Hill, Kate Beckinsale in Underworld: Evolution
GC: Radha Mitchell does some really fine work in Silent Hill, but Ms. Macdonald kicks some serious subterranean ass in The Descent.
Relationship from Hell (Best Couple or Duo): Bill Moseley & Sheri Moon Zombie in The Devil's Rejects, Ellen Page & Patrick Wilson in Hard Candy, Derek Richardson & Jan Vlasak in Hostel, Michael Rooker & Elizabeth Banks in Slither, Kate Beckinsale & Scott Speedman in Underworld: Evolution
GC: Yikes, what's will all the Underworld 2 love? For me this is a 2-horse race between Hard Candy and Slither, but since Page & Wilson are practically the whole movie, they get my pick.
Best Butcher (Best Villain): Sid Haig in The Devil's Rejects, Robert Joy in The Hills Have Eyes, Jan Vlasak in Hostel, Tobin Bell in Saw 2, John Jarratt in Wolf Creek
GC: Much as I respect Captain Jigsaw and his devious ways, Jan Vlasak makes for one chilling little torture dispensary. And what; no Rooker??
Creepiest Kid: Rachel Hurd-Wood in An American Haunting, Ellen Page in Hard Candy, Laura Ortiz in The Hills Have Eyes, Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick in The Omen, Jodelle Ferland in Silent Hill
GC: Young Ms. Ferland does some really excellent work (in multiple roles), but Ellen Page gives one of the best performances I've seen in years.
Highest Body Count: Doom, Final Destination 3, King Kong, Slither, Snakes on a Plane
GC: Like Gunn says on his blog ... the Slither beasties wiped out an entire town. I don't see how the other four can even compete with that.
Line That Killed (Best One-Liner): The Devil's Rejects ("Boy, the next words out of your mouth better be some brilliant f**kin' Mark Twain shit, 'cause it's definitely getting chiseled on your tombstone."), Final Destination 3 ("Look, girls with asses like mine don't talk to guys with faces like yours."), Hostel ("I hope bestiality is legal in Amsterdam, because that girl's a f**kin' hog."), Snakes on a Plane ("I've had it with these motherf**king snakes on this motherf**king plane!"), Wolf Creek ("I'm going to do something now they used to do in Vietnam. It's called making a head on a stick.")
GC: Gotta go along with the crowd on this one. Nobody uses the MF word like Sam Ell does.
Bloodiest Beatdown (Best Fight Scene): The Descent (Juno & Sarah vs. The Crawlers), Doom (The Rock vs. Karl Urban), The Hills Have Eyes (Michael Bailey Smith vs. Aaron Stanford), King Kong (Kong vs. The T-Rexes), Underworld: Evolution (Kate Beckinsale vs. Tony Curran)
GC: All good choices here, but that final cave battle is just blisteringly intense.
Best with Less (Best Limited-Release/Budget Film): The Dark Hours, Hard Candy, The Roost, Subject Two, Zombie Honeymoon
GC: Much as I love Hard Candy, my pick goes to the small(er) guys this time out.
Sickest FX (Special Effects): Corpse Bride, Final Destination 3, King Kong, Silent Hill, Snakes on a Plane
GC: Tough pick, but I just love the way Silent Hill looks.
Looks That Kill (Makeup Effects): The Descent, The Hills Have Eyes, Silent Hill, Slither, Underworld: Evolution
GC: No contest. The practical effects in this flick would make Rob Bottin clap his hands and roar with approval.
Most Disturbing Import (Scariest Foreign Film): Calvaire (Belgium), Godzilla: Final Wars (Japan), Kairo (Japan), Night Watch (Russia), Romasanta: The Werewolf Hunt (Spain)
GC: Now this is the category where the overrated Wolf Creek should go. Calvaire is a horror movie inasmuch as Deliverance is a horror movie. And didn't Kairo come out like four years ago?
Killer Television (TV show, anthology or film): Desperation, Invasion, Nightmares & Dreamscapes, Masters of Horror, Supernatural
...and then there are four final categories for horror-related music videos, but since I know nothing about music and/or videos, I'll just let you guys check those out for yourselves.
Also, if you found the Chainsaw nominees amusing, check out the Spike TV Scream Awards nominations as well. Similar stuff, different sponsors.

Read more: Irish public outraged at women posing with dogs in charity calendar
Meet the Termin-Otter – the creature who put the wild into wildlife in a County Clare village when locals tried to help it return to the waters after it was found shuffling up the main street of Tulla with its head stuck in a bag of Tayto crisps.
The otter, now known locally as Arnie, even managed to bite local farmer Joe Burke from Broadford as he helped return it to a lake in East Clare – but not before it had escaped from Burke's jeep.
"The otter did bite, but it is a small superficial mark. It's only a small scrape. I'm just delighted that we were able to rescue it and return it to water," Burke told the Irish Independent after witnessing the dramatic events from start to finish.
Burke revealed: "I was at a shop in Tulla and I saw what I thought was an otter.
"I turned to Mike Hogan [owner of the store] and just said: 'Is that an otter outside?'"
The two men left the shop to discover that an otter was indeed making its way down the street.
"It turned into a courtyard and we decided to trap it. We had three pallets for fertiliser with us so we blocked off the exit," said Mr Burke who was joined by Hogan in the chase .
The otter however soon became aggressive.
"People were afraid to go near it – they were intimidated by him. There was a Tayto crisps bag lying there and it had gotten its head into it and some people were saying he would choke so I decided I'd have to do something," said Burke.
Burke eventually captured the otter which he described as "quite vicious" in a bag and put him into the back of his car in order to drop him in a nearby lake.
However, the otter chewed through the bag, beginning round two.
"There was a small window broken in the back and he jumped out. Now he was out in the open country,"Mr Burke told The Irish Times. "He had the upper hand on us. He was well able to duck us."
After a long chase, the two men eventually threw a traffic cone over the animal.
"He was very strong and was trying to escape so I had to stand on the cone and Mike got a board and slipped it underneath. There was an air hole at the top so he was okay."
"The otter was absolutely exhausted. It was a very warm morning and if we had put the otter into the lake at that stage, it would have drowned, so we allowed it to get its breath back. It started to try to bite us again and at that stage I knew that the otter was ready to get back into the water," concluded Burke.

International 340 utility
Just picked up a 340 utility but I can't find the serial # any where and there are 2 brass plates mounted on the tin work under the steering wheel with technical info listed on them. I did find some #'s stamped into the front bolster on the right side but they are hard to read. It has been painted red & white but has yellow paint underneath. Any thoughts or info would be greatly appreciated. Chuck
Re: International 340 utility
The serial plate on a 340U should be on the bell housing. Your extra brass plates strongly indicate former military. They should give the branch and some specifics of that unit.
Re: International 340 utility
Thanks Jim, there is no plate on the bellhousing, thats where I thought I would find it, I know the engine has a # but I didn't write it down yet.

Recycling and Waste Reduction
Warm up: He's saving his trash – in his house – for a year!
1. In class, or as homework the night before, have students read the article in Reproducible #1: "He's saving his trash—in his house—for a year" and individually answer the reflection questions (Reproducible #2: Article Reflection Questions). See Reproducible #7 – Sample Answers to Questions.
2. Solicit students to share and discuss answers with the class
Activity One: Discussing and Estimating Daily Recycling
1. Discuss the key vocabulary terms and concepts, focusing on recycling as the process of using old items to make new items. Tell your students that when they recycle old notebooks and newspapers, they are used to make new things instead of simply sitting in a landfill. Plus, virgin resources, such as trees, do not need to be used to make new products. Tell your students that paper isn't the only material that can be recycled; plastic, aluminum, steel, and glass can be reused too.
2. As a class, brainstorm different types of recyclable items that they might encounter on a daily basis. Discuss daily activities and the recyclable items involved in each, for example: eating (plastic cups and dishes, aluminum food and drink containers, cardboard cereal boxes, plastic milk jugs…), doing school work (paper, printer ink cartridges, electronics…), purchasing products from the store (plastic packaging, cardboard boxes, plastic containers…), etc.
3. Ask students to individually fill in Reproducible #3: Daily Recyclable Chart. Encourage them to come up with one new item in each category.
4. Allow students enough time to fill in their chart. Have them share their answers with each other and discuss.
Activity Two: Building Knowledge of Recycling
1. Talk to your students about recycling and waste in more depth. Tell students that in 2007, Americans consumed 96,751 tons of paper, which is a lot of paper! Mention that because of the success of the recycling industry; 56.1% of that paper (54.3 million tons) was recycled . However, paper can only be recycled if each of us makes an effort to dispose of it properly in recycling bins. Talk about how great it would be if 100% of all paper could be recycled and we no longer needed to cut down trees!
2. It is important for students to develop an awareness of what they consume and how much waste they produce so that they will incorporate recycling into their daily lives. The average American generates 4.6 pounds of waste per day, but only recycles 1.5 pounds of it. Use the information from Reproducible #4: Municipal Solid Waste, or have students read the article themselves to inform your instruction. Then have students answer the reflection questions (Reproducible #5: Municipal Solid Waste Reflection Questions). Solicit students to share and discuss answers with the class.
3. Tell them how many of the materials that you use at school can be reused to make other items. Use the chart in Reproducible #6: From Used to New, as a framework to lead your students' discovery of what materials can be recycled and what they turn into. Have students fill in as they follow along. Use examples of how products can be recycled from your school's waste. For extra credit have students bring in examples ahead of time. See if your class can come up with new answers not on this chart.
Activity Three: Hands-on Activity - Making Paper
The following experiment demonstrates the simplicity of the recycling process. When students collect old newspapers and classroom papers, they become more aware of the amount of materials in their lives that can be recycled. When they complete this project, they will have tangible proof of the process of how materials are recycled.
1. Students should rip newspapers and old office papers into tiny pieces. Put the ripped pieces of paper in the blender and add warm water to the blender.
2. Mix the paper and water until it becomes well blended, making paper pulp. Add more water or paper to get a thick consistency.
3. Pour 3 cm of water into the pan. Place your screen into the pan and then pour one cup of paper pulp onto the screen.
4. Spread the pulp evenly in the water with your fingers. It should feel mushy.
5. Lift the screen out of the water slowly, allowing the water to drain.
6. Place the pulp-covered screen face down on a piece of cloth or in between newspaper. Lift the screen away, leaving the paper pulp on the cloth or paper. Cover with another cloth and iron with a hot iron, or use a rolling pin to flatten and press out excess moisture.
7. Let the pulp dry for at least 24 hours.
8. Slowly lift the pulp, leaving behind the fabric—this is your sheet of paper!
Wrap Up: Recycling Discussion
Ask students to name what types of materials they learned could be recycled, and why it is important to recycle these items. Discuss other ways that they can reduce their waste, both at school and at home (buy items with less packaging, use items completely before replacing, only buy what you need, etc.). Encourage students to recycle, and answer any questions they may have about how to recycle at school and at home. Empower them to take what they've learned home and share how important recycling is with their parents and friends
Extension: Recycling at Your School
1. Have your students make recycling posters to hang around school. They should encourage others to recycle, and also explain how and what materials to recycle.
2. Ask your students if they are interested in starting a recycling program at your school. If your school already has a recycling program, ask for suggestions on how they think the program could be improved or expanded. See Earth Day Network's Recycling Background and Student Action Plan for more information.

Is This the Most Painful Ice Bucket Challenge Yet?
Ryan Pflederer wanted to take part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the fundraising campaign for Lou Gehrig's disease which took the US by storm throughout July and August. He asked one of his friends to dump a bucket of ice water over his head using an excavator. However, instead of being splashed with ice-cold water, Ryan appeared to be hit by the bucket when it fell.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- Trustees at Baldwin-Wallace College near Cleveland have decided to drop the hyphen and change the name to Baldwin Wallace University.
They say adopting the university wording is an effort to reflect the breadth of academic offerings at the Berea-based school. It offers more than 60 major areas of study and has a large graduate program. The school has more than 4,100 students enrolled at its Berea and Beachwood campuses and in online courses.
The name change takes effect July 1.
The school has undergone several name changes since it was founded in 1845. It was initially known as Baldwin Institute and was re-chartered a decade later as Baldwin University before merging with a neighboring college to establish its current name.

by Spokane Chiefs Media Relations
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Spokane Chiefs announced the winners of their 2013-2014 team awards in a ceremony prior to Friday night's Coca-Cola Regular Season Finale versus the Tri-City Americans. Headlining the award winners were 20-year-olds Mitch Holmberg and Mike Aviani, winners of multiple awards.
Holmberg was named the Chiefs' Player of the Year as well as the Ken Rabel Most Sportsmanlike Player. The forward from Sherwood Park, Alta. has scored 61 goals entering Friday night's contest, leading the WHL in both goals scored and overall scoring. He could be the first Chiefs player since Ray Whitney in 1990-91 to lead the league in points and the first since Tyler Johnson in 2010-11 to lead in goals. He was named WHL Player of the Week twice and Player of the Month once (Sept/Oct).
Holmberg's 146 career goals ties him with Pat Falloon for the all-time franchise record in goals scored. His 148 career assists ranks him 13th in franchise history, 294 points ranks 5th, and 312 games played ranks 9th. Additionally, entering the final weekend of the 2013-14 regular season, Holmberg is tied for 9th in the league in assists with 55, while he leads in power play goals with 22 and in game-winning goals with 10. Holmberg's Most Sportsmanlike Player award was his third consecutive honor in that category.
Fellow 20-year-old forward Mike Aviani pulled in two awards of his own, including the Players' Player award and Humanitarian of the Year. Aviani, in his 4th full season with the club, has 38 goals and 42 assists, both career highs. His 114 penalty minutes rank 2nd on the team and Aviani was named WHL Player of the Week once. The Surrey, B.C. native won Humanitarian of the Year honors for the 2nd year in a row, acknowledging his efforts in the community, including his participation in the "Chiefs Fight Cancer" campaign with teammates Holmberg and Liam Stewart. The "Chiefs Fight Cancer" campaign, inspired and organized by the three Chiefs forwards, raised funds for Susan G. Komen Fight for the Cure, with their yearly total surpassing $2,500.
The third and final 20-year-old on the Chiefs roster this season, goaltender Eric Williams, earned the Coaches' Award for his play in net this season. Through 70 games, Williams has posted career bests in save percentage (.908,t-12th in the WHL ) and goals against average (2.64, 10th) while tying career highs in wins (32, t-3rd) and shutouts (4, t-5th). Williams also tallied 4 assists this year, a career high.
The John "Hitman" Hern Defenseman of the Year honors went to team captain Reid Gow. A 19-year-old from Killarney, Manitoba, Gow ranks 4th in the WHL in scoring by a defenseman with 6 goals and 62 points, a career high. His 56 assists rank 8th in the WHL while his +29 +/- ranks 2nd on the team only to Holmberg's +34.
Import forward Dominic Zwerger earned the Chiefs' Rookie of the Year award. The 17-year-old from Dornbirn, Austria has 16 goals and 10 assists on the season in 51 games played. Zwerger joins notable players Stefan Ulmer and Michael Grabner as Chiefs standouts native to Austria.
Rounding out the team awards was rookie defenseman Jeff Rayman, who earned the team's Scholastic Player of the Year award. A 17-year-old from Fernie, B.C., Rayman completed courses in AP Calculus and college prep English as well as a university-level course in psychology. On the ice, Rayman has appeared in 33 games, scoring a goal and 2 assists.
Player of the Year – #17 Mitch Holmberg
John "Hitman" Hern Defenseman of the Year – #18 Reid Gow
Rookie of the Year – #22 Dominic Zwerger
Ken Rabel Most Sportsmanlike Player – #17 Mitch Holmberg
Humanitarian of the Year – #16 Mike Aviani
Players' Player – #16 Mike Aviani
Coaches' Award – #35 Eric Williams
Scholastic Player of the Year – #5 Jeff Rayman

Rugby Stripe Knee Sock is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TieDyeJunkie from Warm and Cozy Bought the purple and the blue, and love them both. The fabric is not smooth, but a little bit textured, which I wasn't expecting but actually like. They stayed up fairly well under jeans over the course of the day. I am 5'9", and these socks come all the way up to my knees, which is a bonus (most knee highs don't quite make it there). These will be perfect for winter to keep warm.
Date published: 2013-10-11
Rated 5 out of 5 by halfstack from Delicious! I was half-expecting socks more like mid-calf rugby stripes (more of a smoother flat knit blended fiber), but these are a plusher 100% cotton treat. And they make me crave grape jelly. In a good way. These do have a limited stretch at the tops, but they pass over my calves with a little tugging (and then stay up nicely).
Date published: 2013-10-08
Rated 5 out of 5 by Micha from super sturdy! I love how warm these are; the cotton is very dense and yet still stretchy and soft. They are great boot-socks. Perfect length for me, a 5'9" girl. I got them in purple.
Date published: 2013-11-06
Didn't you used to sell more color combinations of these? I have two pairs that are charcoal/black stripes and I love them. I would love to see a ton more as they are the only knee high socks that actually come up to my knee without going over them.
We did previously sell a few (3) other colors, but never black with charcoal. I think you must be thinking of these OTHER rugby stripes, which come in a much wider variety of color combinations: http://www.sockdreams.com/products/rugby-striped-knee-highs:4084

Would you ship any of your socks to the UK (United Kingdom)?
Yes, we can ship any of our times to the UK! We aren't able to offer free shipping on international orders, however.

Thanks for offering quality, attractive, & affordable plus-sized tights. Will be ordering more! <3.

4.15/5 rDev +3.2%
Appearance: Murky deep brown, as a consequence of the lees having been swirled in, otherwise a clear chestnut color, with a large tan white head, and excellent broken lacing.
Aroma: Sweet, spicy, earthy aroma, with notes of cocoa, honey, dark fruit, and banana.
Taste: Opens with a mildly sweet, earthy note, and a strong yeast presence, followed by roasted malt, cocoa, spicy, warming alcohol notes, finishes with a mild, lingering earthiness.
Mouth feel: Smooth, very soft, full.
Drinkability/notes: A well-crafted example, very drinkable.
Presentation: Packaged in a custom twelve ounce glass bottle similar to Duvel, served in a Maredsous chalice.

My first time to try this beer and believe it or not I had it on tap here in NC,pours a deep amber with a fluffy off white head leaving a nice amount of lace behind.Aromas of spiced cherry and brown suger with just a little yeasty spiciness going on as well,to me this beer tastes like fruit cake lightly spicy of cinnamon and some clove with a big fruitiness to go along like cherries and maybe some apricots.Well made I liked the 10 a little more but this will definently suffice and great to see in my neck of the woods on tap.

A brown pour with a smallish tan head. The nose has a nice range of aromas from chocolate to molasses down to earthy & spicey notes. There is also a bready quality in there as well. The mouthfeel is fairly lively and full with plenty of bubbliness. The taste starts dull and earthy and then heads towards a sweeter medium body. Highlighted by chocolate and spice the beer bends toward a dry finish with a nice alcohol warmth. A pleasant drinking experience.

Appearance The carbonated orange and brown body was juicy-looking, and the off-white head did it justice. The head was modest on a full pour.
Smell The big, deep, rich malts were a pleasant surprise after drinking this many times from the bottle. They are big and intense even for the style. The spicing also in unmistakably sharp.
Taste The malt flavors just explode at the taste. The pour was freezing cold though so I had to painfully let it sit before being able to enjoy the flavors. The spices thankfully relaxed a bit on the tongue.
Mouthfeel This is a solid medium-bodied if not a bit bigger. The terrific fluffy carbonation was spot on for a Dubbel, and the drying spicy finish closed things out just right.
Drinkability This is a hearty, flavorful Dubbel with lots of big malts that nevertheless prove to be well-balanced. It flows nicely on-tap.

Serving date: 2009-03-24. Served in tasting glass. Review from notes.
A: Brown color with reddish hues. Small, ivory-colored and thick head. Some lacings.
S: Fruits of the forest. Chocolate covered soft banana-flavored candy. Plenty of yeast. Caramel malts. A rather big, powerful and interesting smell.
T: Not nearly as interesting as the smell, nor is it as powerful and dense. Plenty of bread-like malts. Some caramel and chocolate covered soft banana-flavored candy. Butterscotch. The finish is actually quite dull and short - it's minimally bitter and has some faint candy-like flavors and spicy alcohol.
M: Lighter body and more carbonation than expected. It almost feels somewhat bland.
D: It drinks quite easily, but it wasn't that great. The taste was somewhat of a letdown considering the smell. I've had this one served in bottle as well and the bottled version is far better than this one.

A - Pours mahogany with ruby tints. Nice sized tan head that has lasting power helped by the abundant carbonation.
S - Sweet malt, dark fruit, black licorice, and dark chocolate.
T - Much like the armoa, lots of malt with dark fruit and bit of burnt caramel and tart dark chocolate coming through. A little alcohol and spiciness in the finish.
M - A little heavy in the middle but finishes pretty clean with the higher alcohol and carbonation.
D - Balanced and finishes clean without any one flavor over dominating. This makes for a very drinkable beer.

My first Dubbel! Pours from a nice looking bottle a murky reddish-brown. Nice foamy head that lasts and lasts, and bands of lace that form with every sip. Smells of dried fruits, cherry especially. Tastes of black cherry, with a rather medicinal quality and an essence of clove. I'm not crazy about the carbonation (seems a bit fizzy to me), although that subsides as the beer warms. I get a nice warming feeling, but the alcohol is fairly well hidden.
All in all, not a pretty good beer, but I'm not sure it's worth the $2+ I spent for it...

served on draft into a snifter.
A - deep amber with a tan head.
S - lots of spices and fruits with alcohol and ... heck it's really complex.
T - this beer has a great balanced flavor with a lot going on. i notice the spices with a bit of fruit and the maltiness shows before giving way to a bit of the alcohol flavor at the end.
M - creamy and smooth with medium carbonation.
D - a very good beer that is a joy to drink. just not necessarily in large amounts.

Had this on tap at Eulogy in philly. Dark chocolate brown with a nice, thick, creamy, khaki head atop. Scents of rootbeer... hard to catch much else- problem with this wonderful tavern is that late on a Saturday afternoon, you get alot of smoke that hinders the senses a bit... Tastes of dark fruits, mainly dark cherries or candied cherries maybe? Slight bit of darkened toast in the background. Bit of chocolate. Can taste the alcohol more as it warms up. Medium carbination, maybe a bit too much? Seems too much for the style for me... probably would have thought more of the mouthfeel if there was a tad less carb here... Served at the perfect temperature and in the perfect glass, just a great, happy experience here! Pretty damn good though.

Presentation: 11.2 oz stubby brown bottle, "best before end" date on the back label. States that it is top fermented and refermented in the bottle.
Appearance: Tiny bubbled effervescent yet creamy looking light tan lace that stays around until the brew is gone. Shade of haze in the deep brown colour brew, though the light shows a vibrant yet tawny reddish hue.
Smell: Faint molasses and anise, fresh tart plum and black currant aromas are quite fragrant. Connotations of earthy yeast give hints to mineral, malt goes a little steely also.
Taste: Huge crispness with a smooth viscous mouth feel that shows off a sturdy medium body. Phenols lay down a hard spicy clove and medicinal flavour, alcohol plays a part in this also with a big spicy and sweet presence. Sizeable dry malt character throws around toasted husk flavours that are lightly astringent. Estery with dried fruity flavours that are reminiscent of pineapple and plum, alcohol has a touch of solvent flavour also but it is light enough and does not get in the way. Small amount of hops meld with the phenols to give a shaded bitterness. Quick snap of a sour twang in the middle disappears in the end, earthiness and a trace amount of smokiness bring more levels of complexity to further bring the finish in to everlasting.
Notes: Complex is not saying enough, so many levels of flavours that go around it is nearly too much. This brew is to be sipped and savoured and should be consumed at cellar temperature for optimum flavour. This is one Dubbel that does not take any crap.

750 ml corked and caged bottle. Pours into a goblet a dark chestnut body that is ruby hued when held to light. Creamy tan head rises to two centimeters and retains very well. Elegant sheet lacing all over the goblet completes the beautiful appearance.
Aroma is malty milk chocolate and toffee, plum wine, a hint of pineapple, and some musty and dank yeast.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with restrained carbonation and some alcohol burn.
Taste is a quick downhill plummet. Fusel alcohol is heavyhanded all the way through. Prune juice and plum wine notes are the good news. Twangy yeast presents some chicken coop character that becomes dank and acrid. By the middle, phenolic notes take over, and metallic and plastic airplane glue notes take over. Not very pleasant. I could not finish this one. Acrid yeastiness, and fusel and phenolic to the extreme. Don't know what went wrong with this one, which began with such high promise.

Stubby Belgian style small (330 ml) bottle, best before dating of "09 2010" on the rear label. pours dark chocolate amber, under a highly retentive, puffy dark tan head, leaving gobs of splattered fingers of lace. Nose is of dark chocolate, bready yeast, and candied fruits. Complex, bold and tasty brew. Plenty of rum, raisins, more chocolate (dark and dry), gooey brownie comes to mind, some alcohol kickin' it in the rear as well as some late hops to dry things out. Nice stuff. I've enjoyed this one for years, just getting around to reviewing it

Purchased at Ayotte's Smokin Joe's in Hudson, NH on 7/25/08. 750 ml caged and corked bottle with a best before date of 11/09. Bottle boasts an 8% ABV.
Cork was extremely difficult to remove, had to resort to using a wine key. Cork broke in the process and the neck of the bottle chipped as well. Hoping we don't find the broken piece of glass the hard way.
Dark amber with caramel hues. Three finger bubbly/creamy head dissipates quickly, leaving a web of lace around the glass.
Smells of fig with undertones of coffee and chocolate.
Meaty fruit flavor; figs and dates with chocolate, coffee and alcohol underneath.
Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, with the slightest hint of alcohol bite at the end.
Considering it's 10:00 am I probably shouldn't be drinking this at all, but even with it's heavy Dubbel Belgian body it goes down surprisingly well.

Squat brown bottle which feels particularly heavy for its size.
Appearance: Dark brown with no trace of red, unlike most brown ales of the style (which I don't believe to be a true 'dubbel' - it's only so because it's midway between the enkel and the tripel). Moderate to good head retention, lots of papery lacing, creamy head from the constant carbonation rising to the surface.
Smell: Complex and very vinous. Solvent alcohol is striking, but not singular - its is muddied into a warming, sweetish aroma by a mix of smells. Dark malt, stone fruit, toffee.
Taste: Very full-bodied - acidic on the palate, with a very lasting flavour. Traces of date, sweet dark malts and even citrus (orange) zest. Tastes like it would pair ideally with a roast or a stew - I had it with risotto and that was a perfect match too.
Mouthfeel: Very creamy and somehow cleansing - strips the mouth of food etc, like a detergent - but a pleasant feeling in the mouth, particularly good as an accompaniment to food.
Drinkability: Very strong and very heavy - slows you down and fills you up, and would thus not be appropriate as a session beer! One or two would be very nice on a cold night lke tonight though.

The beer pours a medium brown color with an off-white head. The aroma is full of caramel and toffee malt with some dark fruit and candy sugar notes. The flavor follows the aroma. I get some nice raisin and prune notes as well as some brown sugar, caramel and some Belgian yeast. There is a little bit of alcohol detectable in the flavor but it is fairly faint. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A very nice dubbel.

Dark mahogany pour with a thick off-white head. Deep, heavy aroma of malt, peat, smoke, and molasses. Creamy mouthfeel. Heavy malt, caramel, and dark fruits in the taste. Occasional pop-through of the peat, but not consistently. Long aftertaste. Very nice.

330 ml served in a chilled glass..
Appearance - The beer pours with a good 4 finger head and slowly drops and remains at about 2 fingers. The beer is a gorgeous clear dark auburn colour, looks delicious. There is a tremendous amount of lacing occurring. Carbonation levels appear almost non existent.
Smell - Caramel with hints of malts are present in the smell. Not a dominant or over powering smell to this beer. There is a touch of raisin and little spice.
Taste - very good tasting beer! There is a subtle hint of bitterness at the end. You can taste the malts and raisins with a little hint of sweetness.
Mouthfeel - I am going to have to say i am quite shocked with the carbonation, compared to the appearance the mouthfeel generates a lot more. The beer fills the pallet and provides a great taste. You can really taste the raisins come forward on the mouthfeel with an increased bitterness near the end.
Drinkability - I was quite surprised with this beer and its appeal to the drinker. I think the beer is a great session beer and i would look to drink it again. I was very impressed.

Our formulations use a simple yet pleasant combination of sweet almond oil and beeswax that lightly moisturizes the skin and lasts for what may seem like an eternity.

The organic items are 100% natural with 100% of the ingredients certified organic by Ecocert, Qai and Otco.

The place is mostly occupied by Chinese living there... So forget about hostel atmosphere. Staff doesnt speak english so u cant get any tips or useful info. 1 shared bathroom per floor (maybe 10rooms) with people living in the hostel makes it hard to access (toilet and shower in 1 room). Try another place while in Xian.
