Air rage over knee defender causes US flight to divert. Need for Reclining Mediation?
A US airliner has been diverted after a row broke out over one passenger's use of a device to prevent the seat in front of him from reclining. The argument forced the United Airlines flight from Newark to Denver to make an unscheduled stop in Chicago. The passengers involved were reported to be sitting in the Economy Plus section of the plane, which already provides an extra four inches (10cm) of leg room. The fight began when the male passenger, seated in a middle seat of row 12, used the Knee Defender to stop the woman in front of him from reclining while he used his laptop. A flight attendant asked him to remove the device - a small piece of plastic costing $21.95 (£13.25) which slots onto the tray table - but he refused. The woman reacted by standing up, turning around and throwing a cup of water at him.
Court battles can go on for months or even years, and can get very 'ugly'. All sense of civility is usually lost, and lawyers battle it out, airing the couple's dirty laundry to be judged in court. In some cases, the litigation route is the only option – and you may need to hire a lawyer to make sure your interests are protected. However, if at all possible, you should try to go the route of mediation. This is where both parties come to a mutual agreement through a trained negotiator experienced in divorce law. It is often much quicker and far less emotionally damaging than litigation.
Despite the glut of newly-minted lawyers, millions of Americans end up representing themselves in court because they can't afford to pay $150 to $300 an hour for an attorney. Many turn to court-based legal self-help centers intended to help pro-se litigants navigate the judicial system. Nearly 500 centers now operate since the first was launched in the 1990s, according to a new report out from the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on the Delivery of Legal Services, which concluded they "are a vibrant and effective resource" for court users nationwide.
Palestinian officials said on Tuesday a Gaza ceasefire deal with Israel has been reached under Egyptian mediation and a formal announcement of an agreement was imminent. There was no immediate confirmation from Israel, where a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declined to comment.
Dozens of parents have delivered a petition with more than 11,000 signatures to the BC legislature. Mother Jordan Waters says the group wants the government to join the teachers' union in mediation. "I am disillusioned with our government and their unwillingness to make public education a priority. I think it's really short-sighted and they don't see how investing in children is investing in our economic prosperity in the long run."
Who says August is a quiet month? It's not traditionally noted for major Government statements, but this month saw one of the most significant announcements affecting family law and mediation for some time. Justice Minister Simon Hughes pledged funding for a single free mediation session for both parties where just one of them qualifies for legal aid.
One of the judicial races that will be decided in Tuesday's primary election pits a criminal defense attorney with hundreds of hours of experience in front of the bench and an attorney who runs a mediation business and teaches introductory law courses. Robin Lemonidis and Brooke Deratany Goldfarb are in the running for Brevard-Seminole Circuit Judge Group 14. Whoever takes the most votes in Tuesday's primary wins the seat and will take over the criminal cases previously handled by Judge John Griesbaum, who is retiring. Both women are well known in the community, and the intense competition between them has been drawing increasing attention as the decision date nears.
There are two key questions that parties preparing for mediation should ask themselves throughout their preparation for the mediation: First, how to remove obstacles to settlement: parties should do all they can to avoid the negotiation at the mediation being delayed, or failing, because there is an issue that could have been identified and addressed in advance that was not. Second, what will the other side need to help them take a decision to resolve the dispute? It is easy in the flurry of activity before a mediation for each party to focus only on their own case and preparation, but a resolution will only be achieved with the agreement of the counterparty, so keep in mind your opponent at all times (even if you disagree as to the approach they appear to be taking).
An American journalist kidnapped by the Al-Qaeda-linked jihadist group, the Al-Nusra Front, has been freed following mediation between the organization and the Qatari government. Peter Theo Curtis was turned over to UN peacekeepers in Quneitra in the Golan Heights on Sunday after being seized by militants while traveling into Syria to report on the conflict there in October 2012. The Qatari government announced late on Sunday that it had secured Curtis's release, issuing a statement saying it had "exerted relentless efforts to release the American journalist out of Qatar's belief in the principles of humanity and out of concern for the lives of individuals and their right to freedom and dignity."
Bullying in schools has been recognised as a serious and pervasive problem now for at least two decades. There is now also evidence, including from the UK and other European countries, North America and Australia, that traditional forms of bullying in schools have decreased modestly over the last decade or so. This is very likely due to the increase in work to prevent bullying. Yet much still persists. In 2010, the EU Kids Online project found 19% of children were victims of bullying and 12% bullied others. A recent follow-up study in 2014 suggested an increase in cyberbullying, though not in traditional bullying. Figures elsewhere are not dissimilar, although prevalence rates vary greatly in terms of how it is measured and how bullying is defined.

MED-ARB: The Best of Both Worlds or Just A Limited ADR Option? (Part Two) (8/22/14)
Med-arb is the melding of two well-established processes for conflict resolution into one hybrid process. Mediation and Arbitration are used in conjunction with one another and, in the truest form of med-arb, the same third-party neutral plays the role of both mediator and arbitrator. In this paper, the term med-arb refers to this pure form that uses the same neutral, and is distinct from the common process where different neutrals are used in a mediation phase and an arbitration phase.

The Good and Bad of Conflict (8/22/14)
As conflict professionals, we should strive to understand the subject of conflict in all its various forms. However, the large majority of the industry only desires to resolve conflict. Indeed, conflict can be beneficial (anabolic) or destructive (catabolic). Knowing the difference can give businesses and other organizations a catalystic edge to take them to the next level.
Time for a Mediator's Hippocratic Oath? (8/19/14)
It is one of the defining characteristics of professions whose stakeholders invest great trust in their practitioners. Doctors make the Hippocratic Oath. Accountants, lawyers, police officers, elected officials, social workers, veterinarians and others in a position of trust also make various forms of oaths. Yet mediators do not make an oath, even though mediators are invariably taken into parties' trust. Should mediators make a Hippocratic-style oath?

La mediación es un método de Resolución Alterna de Conflictos (RAC) de naturaleza auto-compositiva que busca solucionar las diferencias a través del dialogo. En ese sentido, es un método en el cual un tercero imparcial, llamado mediador, interviene en un conflicto entre dos o más personas a solicitud y con la anuencia de las mismas, con el fin de ayudarles en la búsqueda de soluciones pacíficas, cooperativas y mutuamente satisfactorias.

Shooting Yourself in the Foot (8/08/14)
One of the earliest "learned professions" in the Western world is the law. A reading of ancient history from the earliest beginnings of Western civilization will reveal allusions to lawyers. Popes, kings and feudal governments in medieval Europe relied heavily upon lawyers to guide them. Yet, from early days and primarily because of the educational and status advantages lawyers held over most of society, the profession has suffered from poor public opinion and criticism; literature and in popular culture with the onset of the "lawyer joke."

On What Level Are We Mediating? (8/08/14)
How do you define success in mediation? The answer depends in part on who is asking the question? Success for the parties may be different than success for the mediator or success for the court. This article explores the question of how to define success in mediation from a variety of angles including what does success mean for the mediation profession?
The Myth of Mediation Neutrality - book excerpt (8/08/14)
The traditional view is that a mediator is a neutral, third party who helps two or more conflicting parties cooperatively resolve their differences. Interestingly enough, this belief is analogous to the Cartesian-Newtonian epistemological position that holds that one can be an independent observer of an objective world, in science or in daily life. However, I am skeptical about this position, both epistemologically and clinically. What remains an open question is whether a mediator can actually ever be a "neutral third."

What the Supreme Court of India Got Right and What it Got Wrong (8/01/14)
The Kluwer Arbitration Blog published an outsider's perspective on the decision of the Supreme Court of India which has been applauded by international practitioners around the world since it curbed the jurisdiction of Indian courts over an arbitration agreement supplementing the pro-arbitration jurisprudence coming from the SCI over the last two years. The writer has commented not only as an outsider but also and more particularly as a Civil Lawyer, proposing an excellent alterative to the court's approach. However, it may be necessary to have an insider's perspective on the judgment.
Book Review: The Variegated Landscape of Mediation (7/31/14)

It is the first work that explains on a global plane how mediation has cross-pollinated itself into such a kaleidoscopic display of both consistent and contradictory features.

Understanding Each Party's Power in Family Mediation-Arbitration: Why it is Critical (7/25/14)
A recent Ontario Superior Court of Justice decision illustrates the need for clearer guidelines for "screening for power imbalances and domestic violence", a mandatory component of Ontario family arbitration. It also demonstrates the benefits for parties, lawyers and arbitrators in understanding that some methods of screening are more effective than others; and in ensuring that screening is done in accordance with the best practices before the mediation in a mediation-arbitration.
Mind the Gap: Mediation and Justice (7/25/14)
This article examines the alleged gap between mediation and justice. It considers ideas of both substantive and procedural justice and examines persistent critiques of mediation as falling short of the supposed gold standard of litigation. It goes on to propose an alternative reading of mediation as a site where parties are empowered to negotiate not only the outcome of their dispute but the criteria by which that outcome is judged. This can be read as providing more rather then less justice, particularly in diverse societies where legal and social norms are contested.

Incremental Progress in Mediation: Baby Steps, Strategic Mediation & Less is More (7/22/14)
Taken from Jim Melamed's training manual, these introductory excerpts suggest that progress in mediation is necessarily incremental; that the mediator should in fact strategically focus on baby steps of progress that can be made; and that, in effectively mediating, the mediator should seek to "only do so much as is necessary" to stimulate available progress so as to not over-direct the process and allow participants to claim progress as their own.

Perception and Parts in Mediation (7/10/14)
Seeking to be an effective mediator is a both challenging and fascinating endeavor. Essentially, the mediator is asked to assist participants who have some measure of disagreement, or at least lack of agreement, to reach sufficient agreement so as to be willing to call the situation "resolved." In this sense, the mediator seeks to move participants from "the circle of disagreement" to the "circle of agreement."

Living with 'ADR': Evolving Perceptions and Use of Mediation, Arbitration and Conflict Management in Fortune 1,000 Corporations (7/09/14)
As attorneys for the world's most visible clients, corporate counsel played a key role in the transformation of American conflict resolution in the late Twentieth Century. In 1997 a survey of Fortune 1,000 corporate counsel provided the first broad-based picture of conflict resolution processes within large companies. In 2011, a second landmark survey of corporate counsel in Fortune 1,000 companies captured a variety of critical changes in the ways large companies handle conflict. Comparing their responses to those of the mid-1990s, clear and significant evolutionary trends are observable, including a further shift in corporate orientation away from litigation and toward alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
Commercial Arbitration and Settlement: Empirical Insights into the Roles Arbitrators Play (7/09/14)
The Straus Institute recently conducted two major surveys of dispute resolution professionals: a survey of experienced arbitrators with the cooperation of the College of Commercial Arbitrators, and a survey of experienced mediators with the cooperation of the International Academy of Mediators. These studies produced a wide array of new information on arbitrator and mediator practices and perspectives that we hope will contribute to debate and discussion on many current professional issues. We are presently writing these up. The first fruit of these studies is the just-completed article Commercial Arbitration and Settlement: Empirical Insights into the Roles Arbitrators Play, which leads off the new Yearbook on Arbitration and Mediation.

Pioneer Series: Mediators Use Instinct - Video (7/01/14)

What It's About
An enchanting classic Disney princess epic, "Frozen" will warm your heart and tickle your funnybone. A loose adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson's rather dark tale "The Snow Queen," this animated musical adventure dazzles with its wintry landscape visuals and captivates with its distinctive characters.
Set in Norway, the frozen fiords and snow-covered hills are a magical canvas for the animation wizards to explore the splendors of the winter season. Stunning ice crystals, imaginatively detailed snowflakes, and frolicking in that wonderland are breathtakingly beautiful.
Two sisters, Anna and Elsa, have special powers, but Anna's are lost after a childhood accident, while Elsa's become stronger. She must learn to control her ability to freeze anything and anyone she touches but, unfortunately, after her coronation as queen, she unleashes an eternal winter in the kingdom.
The youngster sister is heartbroken that she and her sister are no longer close, puzzled as to why, and ultimately leaves for greener pastures after falling in love with a prince. There are consequences, and a kind-hearted mountain man, Kristoff, and his trusty reindeer Sven, help the spunky damsel in distress. Things go from bad to worse before they get better, and there is genuine suspense and real danger.
A trio of Broadway stars shine in this film -- Tony winner Idina Menzel ("Wicked") is the conflicted Snow Queen and her "Glee" co-star Jonathan Groff ("Spring Awakening") is the charming mountain man. Stealing every scene he's in is Josh Gad as the spry, comical snowman Olaf. The lovable Gad, Tony winner for "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" and nominee for "Book of Mormon," drew gales of laughter from the little ones throughout the film, as well as adults. Kristen Bell is Anna, the feisty and fun grown-up princess.
Their strong vocals boost the musical score, and "Let It Go," "In Summer" and "First Time in Forever" are highlights. Husband-and-wife composing team Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez wrote a number of classic show tunes for this romantic film, reminiscent of another Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, "The Little Mermaid."
The lush musical score by Christophe Beck uses traditional Norwegian music, which adds to the authenticity of the atmosphere.
What Works
The stunning atmosphere keeps you engaged, and the humor keeps the little ones focused. The directors, associated with "Wreck-It Ralph," maintain Disney's classic formula that works while injecting much winning personality into the characters. The Scandinavian setting provides a new world that's fun to watch, with such carefully crafted details, that you almost feel the arctic chill yourself while viewing.
The imaginative minds at work here deserve much credit for their efforts, and it's one of the best Disney animated features in a long time.
What Doesn't Work
For the youngest viewers, it might be a little on the scary side. However, it is a family film that entertains on many levels.
4 stars out of 4
Director: Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee
Starring: Voices of Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad

During the start of the intermission of Metamoris II, the promoter Ralek Gracie said they had a surprise for their viewers. They then aired a video that announced that Metamoris III would be head lined by a rematch between Royler Gracie and Eddie Bravo.
Gracie and Bravo first met at the 2003 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship, where Bravo, a brown belt under Jean Jacques Machado at the time, submitted Gracie with a triangle. It was the first time a Gracie had been submitted by an American in competition.
Bravo has since gone on to establish his own style of no gi jiu jitsu, called 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu. Bravo has come under heavy criticism for not training at all in the gi and many claim his win over Royler was a fluke. Royler is one of the most successful Gracies ever in sport jiu jitsu and has trained several world champions.
Many have tried to make this rematch before and it has always fallen through, but this time it might just stick.

Roughly 22 hours after the originally scheduled start time for NASCAR's Chicagoland Speedway race, the 2011 Chase is finally – finally! – underway.
Pole-sitter Matt Kenseth took the green flag at approximately 11:15 a.m. Central time this morning and was able to pull out to an early lead over No. 2 starter Paul Menard.
Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman and Carl Edwards were the other drivers to run in the top five.
The Chicagoland race is the first Chase race ever postponed from the original date (the Chase has been around since 2004). Despite the rain, it appears 30,000 or so people were able to return for today's event.
Robby Gordon and David Stremme had to drop to the back of the field prior to the start of the race.
Due to the rain, NASCAR has scheduled a competition caution for lap 30. However, drivers were heard marveling at the amount of rubber still on the track prior to starting the race.

Planned Features
- Better permission system (maybe using 0.11 permissions policies).
- Email notification.
- Branch 0.9 of plugin is considered as deprecated and not developed anymore.
Change Log
- [13945] by hasienda on 2014-05-31 23:44:08
DiscussionPlugin: Extend use of new attribute getter api method, refs #11706.
Preventing TypeError in case of invalid ID argument is required for this
use, and doesn't hurt for others anyway.
- [13944] by hasienda on 2014-05-31 23:14:21
DiscussionPlugin: Review wiki macros and syntax provider code, refs #756 and #11706.
This includes a wide range of changes from adding another db access method to
api over moving SQL into model module to correcting resource ID as
required for fine-grained permission support.
Adding the missing import from trac.resource as follow-up to [9640] suggests
rare use of discussion WikiMacros so far.
- [13942] by hasienda on 2014-05-30 22:32:02
DiscussionPlugin: Hotfix for topic (attachment parent) Trac resource, refs #756 and #11800.
I've been expecting issues when moving on towards unified resources and
resource permissions. This is another hack before being able to associate
attachments with full resource path, not just topic, the current shortcut.
- [13939] by hasienda on 2014-05-24 00:44:45
DiscussionPlugin: Change listeners got incomplete objects, refs #6783 and #8981.
Fixed tag-related change listeners to get discussion item IDs, what caused
KeyErrors before, just raised a couple of other issues. Not all of these
issues are resolved yet. I decided to initially catch listener errors with
logged warnings for improved API method robustness.
Moved time stamp generation nearer to db action and letting _add_item()
return the added item ID obsoleted four api methods at once.
- [13938] by hasienda on 2014-05-23 21:43:39
DiscussionPlugin: Narrow user selection according to granted permissions, refs #756.
You should be able to choose only users with appropriate permissions as
moderators, and the same applies to subscriptions. This is still not 100%
correct, because ultately fine-grained permisions could affect this too.

The Loudoun County Sheriff's office has identified an intruder shot and killed by a homeowner in Sterling.
The student, identified by investigators as 16-year-old Caleb A. Gordley, lived on the same street as the home where the shooting took place and reportedly had been drinking alcohol with friends that evening. He was a student at Park View High.
Officers say a resident reported that their house alarm on the 45900 block of Pullman Court was activated around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. As the homeowner went to investigate, he discovered an unknown male inside their home. Gordley was shot and killed in the incident.
Loudoun County sheriff's investigators say the neighbor shot and killed Gordley on the stairwell after the teen entered the house through a back window, triggering the burglar alarm.
Sheriff's officials say Gordley had reportedly been drinking alcohol with friends that night.
A relative tweeted "let it be known that Caleb *accidentally* entered the wrong house after a party last night."
The houses are two doors apart. Same color brick and shudders. Same kind of back yard fence. But the front doors are different.
Caleb Gordley was a 16-year-old junior, a three-sports athlete: basketball, baseball and football at Park View High School in Sterling where the hallways were especially quiet today. Students wearing black and orange in Caleb's honor.
"It's hard because we don't really know," says Pablo Rivera, student body president at Park View HS. "There's not really words to describe how we feel right now. Everybody's sort of in a state of comatose. We're just trying to let it sink in."
"It's probably going to be a really quiet day," says Caleb's basketball teammate Nilanka Lord. "A lot of people were in class with him, lot of people were close to him, really popular guy. So it's going to be tough for us as a school to get over this."
"Absolutely great student athlete I enjoyed coaching very much," says Park View HS Boys Basketball Coach Mike Koscinski. "We spent a lot of time during the season. He's stay after practice and work really hard. Extremely enthusiastic. I'm just, everyone's devastated."
The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office says, "The 16-year-old lived on the same street as the home where the shooting took place and reportedly had been drinking alcohol with friends that evening. A rear window to the home was found opened and is believed to be the point of entry into the home.."
Neighbors say the man who owns the home where the shooting took place is a volunteer firefighter who is well liked in the neighborhood.
Later Sunday afternoon, police were called back again to the area after a confrontation between the homeowner and another man.
Several people inside the home where the shooting took place packed up a car with bags and pets and left the neighborhood, FOX 5's Melanie Alnwick reported.
If you have not already spoken to Detectives with the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office and have information regarding the case, you are asked to call the Criminal Investigations Division at 703-777-0475.

TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) - Toledo Public School leaders say they do not recall a time when they have had this many open positions. The district is holding a job fair this week, as it seeks to fill about 100 jobs.
This is the first time Toledo Public Schools has held this sort of job fair. The district has an unusually high number of openings due to retirements and so far, has not had as many applicants as it would like. The fair will provide a chance for candidates to speak with department heads to learn more about the positions and qualifications.
The fair will take place Aug. 8 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Waite Brand Auditorium located at 1530 North Superior Street. People attending should be prepared to apply for the positions.
TPS is looking to fill about 100 positions, including many substitute teachers, substitute bus drivers, food service workers, clerical staff members and substitute cleaners. Although many of these are part-time positions, some involve a lot of hours and can lead to full time positions in the future.
"We've gone the traditional routes to try to bring people into TPS, but I think it's important they come in and see the different kinds of jobs and talk one on one with the directors to see exactly what they're going to do," said Cheryl Spieldenner, TPS chief human resources officer.
TPS officials say they plan to move quickly on these applications to set up interviews. They hope to hire before the start of the school year.
If you aren't able to make it to the job fair Wednesday, you can always fill out an application online.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Wil Myers hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3 on Thursday night to avoid a three-game sweep.
Myers drove in Evan Longoria, who also doubled off Rubby De La Rosa (0-1), to give the Rays a 4-3 lead.
Jake McGee (5-3) pitched a scoreless eighth before Fernando Rodney got three outs to earn his 34th save for the Rays, who lead the race for the second AL wild card despite going 5-13 since Aug. 25.
David Ortiz and Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered for Boston, which has an 8½-game advantage over second-place Tampa Bay in the AL East.
The Red Sox threatened in the ninth when Stephen Drew had an infield single and pinch-hitter Mike Carp walked with one out. Rodney worked out of the jam when pinch-hitter Will Middlebrooks lined out to third and Dustin Pedroia popped out.

Carl Elsener Jr. Honored with Swiss Award 2011
Ibach, Switzerland
January 15, 2012
Carl Elsener Jr. won the Swiss Award in the Business category. This award honors his tireless efforts to ensure that Victorinox remains a strong Swiss brand and his commitment to Switzerland as a production location. The staff of Victorinox is very pleased about this award.Last Saturday evening, three individuals in different categories were presented with the Swiss Award during a TV gala. They had all accomplished something very special in the fields of politics, culture, business, show, society or sport. As the CEO of Victorinox and Delegate of the Board, Carl Elsener Jr. accepted the award in the Business category. The specialist jury thereby praised his continuous commitment to export Swiss values with the different product categories around the world.Carl Elsener regards his award primarily as a "thank you" to all his employees, who give their very best every day to promote the Victorinox brand, with great motivation and lots of passion. He also is referring a special "thank you" to his father Carl Elsener Sr. who dedicated more than 70 years of his life to Victorinox and is celebrating his 90th anniversary soon. No other product has been a better ambassador for Swiss world class quality than the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife – and that since 1884. Its Swiss origin is a guarantee for quality and reliability, but also for a pioneering spirit. With the brand promise "Victorinox – Companion for life", Carl Elsener intends to establish the Victorinox umbrella brand name throughout the world. This is achieved through intelligent products that are inspired by the innovative idea of the "Original Swiss Army Knife" and that enrich everyday life – with quality, functionality, creativity and great design.
About Victorinox The cutler Karl Elsener founded Victorinox in 1884 in Ibach near Schwyz, where the head office is still located today. The family-owned company is active in more than 130 countries worldwide, with around 1,800 employees and eight branches. As a multi-product brand, Victorinox produces quality products for various areas of life: pocket knives, domestic and professional cutlery, watches, travel gear, clothing and fragrances. Common to all of these products is the spirit of the Swiss Officer and Sports Knife, which was promptly rechristened as the Swiss Army Knife by the GIs stationed in Europe, who made it popular in America after the Second World War. Under the motto "Companion for life", Victorinox aims to accompany and enrich the daily lives of its customers with creative products. In 2009, Victorinox was awarded the Fairness Prize for its model personnel management.

4.28/5 rDev +8.4%
nicely presented, corked bottle I have been saving for a while.
A : pours a slightly hazy golden orange. A nice thick and tight slightly off white head. really nice spiderweb lacing all over.
S : the smell is musty and biscuity. some bread and a solid german yeast aroma in the back end.
T: starts a bit sweet and has that nice light bread malt flavor. A tinge of honey sweetness and a good hop bitterness. The hops have a good earthy flavor that stands out better as the beer warms up a bit. Finishes with a good german yeast that is mild and enjoyable.
M : nicely carbed and full flavored. very easy to drink and very little boozy for its high alcohol. finishes crisp and smooth.
A really nice beer. I wasn't expecting it to be as drinkable. Not much else to say here, but I really liked it.

3.65/5 rDev -7.6%
Poured into a 1/2 liter stein a rich clear copper/bronze with a large fluffy white head atop that turned nto a creamy mass as it settled slowly.Aromas were pretty clean with floral and spicy hop dominating,light toastiness and caramel are there but they are pretty faint.Lighter feel for the style and pretty clean on the palate,light caramel malt and a bit of sweet dough with a hefty drying,spicy finish.Not true to form, its to hopped up wich I dont mind,but it just seems to lack a little heft in my opinion.

4.25/5 rDev +7.6%
Pours a brilliant deep golden color with a two finger head of creamy white foam that has some nice staying power! Good active carbonation - the cork could have easily hit the ceiling when I opened this one. Aromas of crisp bready, toasted malts along with a honey glaze. Floral and herbal hop accents with a bit of spiciness. Semi-sweet, fresh and vibrant.
First sip brings smooth, crisp toasted maltiness with a honeyed bread twist. A slight sweetness along with floral, herbal hops adding a kiss of bitterness. Touch of spiciness. Smooth and easy drinking brew!
Mouthfeel is smooth and crisp with good carbonation. A little slick on the palate but it works well. Overall, a solid amped up helles bock and I wouldn't have expected anything less. The 30th anniversary series has been great and I'm looking forward to the black barleywine next. Cheers to Sierra Nevada!

750ml bottle in a pilsner glass.
Copper color, nice thick tan head that persisted well.
An earthy aroma, sweet, floral.
Taste was also on the earthy side, some sweet caramel, and a bite of hops at the end.
Fairly substantial, a beer to savor, and one I will try again.

Beautiful pour into a tulip forms an abundant golden head with nice lace as the head dissipates.
Cloudy golden/amber in appearance. Sweet with a hint of hoppy citrus at the finish. Very tasty.
Cloys slightly by the end. Would not make a good session beer for that reason in my opinion.

A - Pours slightly hazy copper color with three finger off-white head. Head is creamy and has good retention.
S - Lots of toasted malts with some nice florals. A faint sweetness as well.
T - Similar to smell there is a nice toasted malt presence, faint sweetness and a hop presence that I didn't get from the nose. Really nice. Nice hop presence for a year old beer.
M - Medium, slightly sticky and creamy mouthfeel that finishes pretty dry.
O - This doesn't seem to get the same respect as the other 30th anniversary beers, but I really enjoyed it. A hoppier than average Maibock, which is a style I really enjoy.

2.1/5 rDev -46.8%
750ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange amber with a big creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is pretty subdued - some toasted malt and some vegetables and nitro(?). Kind of smells like a bad cream ale.
The flavor is toasted malts with some a good amount of bitterness that is slightly metallic and some noticeable alcohol. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a watery texture.
Overall, I did not care for this. It tastes like an imperial cream ale to me. It's watery, harshly bitter and alcoholic with very little redeeming about it. Not nearly as good as the Fritz and Ken.

Just another great big beer from SN. My wonderful daughter brought this one up to me from NYC. You have to raise them correctly!
Actually I'm a bit partial as bock is my favorite style but this one hits it out of the park. Imagine this as a Doppelbock a Sierravator.

750 ml, cork twists off with a pop and a considrable amount of gunsmoke. Slightly hazy, golden amber body has a medium offwhite head that leaves some pretty patch lace.
Aroma is creal grains, toasted caramel and faint floral hops.
Mouthfeel is unremarkable. Medium body and carbonation.
Taste has a solid malt base of toasted caramel. Floral and earthy hop bitterness and alcohol notes play off the malt base throughout. Vague fruity notes emerge midway and carry into the finish, unripe pears perhaps.
Decent, but this one just doesn't turn my crank.

Large bottle, caged and corked, $11.99 @ DeCicco's in Ardsley, NY.
Pours cloudy dull lighter amber, the head is large, medium tan and loose. Shows quality retentive powers, staying at about 1/3 on an inch forever. Leaves better then respectable thick lacing, sheeting and collar.
Malty sweet nose, with a hint of lemon.
Sweet malts carry the load here. Vanilla, honey, and cookie notes up front. Has a tea, floral and dull lime hop snap on the rear end. Easy drinking with the 8.2% well hidden/bended into the mix.
Tasty stuff. Go get some and enjoy while its still around.

Had on tap at Binny's tasting room--South Loop Chicago
Appearance: copper in color, clear, moderate carbonation, 1/4 inch head
Smell: caramel and light hops
Taste: caramel and some hops--pine
Mouthfeel: light bodied, moderate carbonation, sweet with a bitter backbone.
Drinkability: An above average maibock. I could have a couple glasses of this but nothing I would go out of my way for.

The beer pours a yellow-orange color with a white head. The aroma is wheat with some grassy hops mixed in. The flavor is similar. I get wheat, grain, grassy hops, toffee malt and some citrus notes. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A pretty good beer, but not quite as good as I was expecting for a 30th Anniversary special release.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Pilsner/Imperial Pint hybrid.
Appearance: Clear golden amber with a huge frothy head that eventually settles down to a fine lace.
Smell: Apple, toasted malts and floral noble hops - smells like a massive Maibock.
Taste: Sweet and relatively mellow apple and toasted malt upfront. Then it turns more bitter and metallic at the end with floral noble hops. Ending seems harsh at first, but mellows as it warms/sits in the glass.
Feel: Moderately low carbonation (I think the massive head killed it), medium body, ridiculously smooth.
Drinkability: Very smooth and tasty Maibock but the extra alcohol seems unnecessary. Still a very good example of the style.

750ml corked & caged bottle poured into a schlitz mug.
Pours a light golden amber with a small white head that slowly fades. Nose is nice, light and floral. There's a hint of vinegar but it's nice.
Taste is quite interesting, it's light, sweet and malty with a touch of booze but it's not too much. The carbonation is nice and refreshing without being over the top it. Quite an easy drinking odd style.

750 ml bottle, caged and corked. A huge white head blooms over the rim of a tulip, and hang around awhile before dissipating without leaving much lace. It's a clear copper color with little bubble zipping to the surface.
The aroma is rather mild, malt and grain dominate, just a slight note of dark fruit.
Very malty, somewhat sweet and grainy, a bit of cherry sweetness, and you get just a hint of sulfur and citric hop characteristics. You get elements of both styles, not as much malt as a maibock, and It's a pretty successful marriage.
It demonstrates some life on the tongue, and the hops cut the sweetness before growing cloying on the tongue--and it finishes very nicely and balances out ultimately.
Still a bit much of the dark fruit to be highly drinkable for me, but a solid effort for sure.

A: Poured into my SA perfect pint, this bock pours a murky straw color with a billowing white capped head that is quickly to succeed to almost nothing.
S: At first pour the aroma is bold and sweet like honey. Very natural aroma like biscuit mixed with caramel malt.
T: The flavor is again like caramel covered biscuits. Very natural and bready. Nothing too deep, and a little thin in body and flavor.
MF: Mouthfeel is on the thin side. This beer would have benefited something a little bigger.
Overall, my least favorite of the 30's, but still a good beer. There isn't much you can do with a bock to satisfy the beer geek, and if you do Weihenstephaner and Ayinger have you beat!

I had this during beer week at Jose Pistolas and just found the notes in my notebook.
This beer was definitely a disappointment for me. I did not expect to see this on tap, but was very excited to see it. It was described on the beer list as a The beer looked nice with a deep golden hue and a tuft of downy foam. The smell was very malty of toasted sweet bread, like a baking loaf of brioche, but it did not have the richness that I was expecting. The taste was similarly lacking depth and complexity, I could taste the kilned German malts, but it did not have the full flavor I was hoping for. The toasty malts dominated the beer with a bit of spicy hops and some alcohol in the end. The beer though was well made, even if I do not consider it a favorite.

A perfect pop out the caged & corked bottle. Excellent carbonation (which held throughout the entire bottle) and color, orange to brown, which again, remained vibrant and attractive throughout. Aroma had a twinge of Euro sweetness to it.
Pepper, Euro Hops (saaz/tettenang?) seemed to rock the party that rocks the body. Drank so smooth, could've believed this was 5% alcohol. Was so effortlessly light on the palate throughout, just some tangy pepperish hops, so easy to drink. It might not be for newbies or flipside contrarian curmudgeon snobbies, but it is a blast for everyone in between.
Very refreshing, had this laying around the pool and previously, down by a river (not in a van). I remember drinking Pale Bock this time of year a decade or so ago . . . this really brings you back, good for warm, but not hot (well maybe?) weather. Enjoy this one while it's available. Can't wait for the next two. About time this beer got an American kick in the ass. Enough whining has been listened to from detractors regarding this style for the last decade in my experience.

Poured into a Addison Oktoberfest 1.5L Mug a pale yellow with a very thick white head. Great retention and decent lacing down the mug. I'm afraid I can't get much of the nose, but my allergies have been bugging me lately. I think I'm finding some hop notes in there, but my nose is weak. The taste has a great deal of flavors going on. There is a light amount of malt sweetness with some spices mixed in there. There is a nice hop presence through out and a very crisp finish.
This is what I would think a original oktoberfest should be like, very rich in flavor. I could just imagine drinking this in a huge mug on the streets of Munich.

750ml into a SN XXX Snifter.
Pours a deep golden color with a giant fluffy head that recedes to a thin froth that sits dutifully atop the beer. The nose is bready and spicy, with plenty of earthy notes- almost haylike. Taste is spicy up front. Very very interesting. Malt sweetness holds up the backend very well. Mouth is slick and moderately heavy, feels great. This beer is very drinkable. The spicy notes beg to be explored. Overall, a well crafted, easy drinking brew.

Vikings Insider: Walls, literal and figurative, are up
[size=13pt]Vikings Insider: Walls, literal and figurative, are up[/size]
The Vikings, mindful of lax security in the past, don't want leaks and have taken all measures to prevent them.
Kevin Seifert
Last update: September 24, 2006 – 12:02 AM
Two years ago, Vikings coaches developed an elaborate fake field goal play. You might remember it -- if for no other reason than its spectacular failure during a playoff game at Philadelphia. Sideline confusion prompted receiver Randy Moss to step off the field, leaving the Vikings without their planned target for the play.
What you probably don't know: By the time the Vikings got to Philadelphia, word had circulated around the NFL that Moss was the target on a fake field goal play. In fact, a player who visited Winter Park during the 2005 free agent period told coaches that his former team knew all the details.
The news stunned Vikings brass -- at least until they realized how relatively open and accessible (or susceptible) they were to espionage. Was it one of the neighboring office workers who could watch practice from a hill just outside their door? Was it one of the corporate sponsors invited to watch Thursday practices? Did someone simply wander into one of Winter Park's unlocked doors and stumble upon a chalkboard?
The exact chain of events never was determined. But suffice it to say, the Vikings never will face the same problem. One of the distinguishing features of the Triangle of Authority has been a fundamental buildup of walls -- literal and figurative -- to preserve secrets and protect the organization from scrutiny.
Some of the changes were necessary security measures, and overall none of them should be considered excessive. Sadly, the new approach is best viewed as an effort to elevate the team's public insulation to NFL norms. For as recently as two years ago, the Vikings were a mom-and-pop franchise in a league of corporate giants.
The examples are neverending. A chain-link fence, lined with an opaque wind protector, now surrounds the practice field. Corporate sponsors rarely are seen at practice, and reporters are dismissed after 15 minutes on most days.
As recently as last year, the door to the locker room was unlocked during business hours -- allowing players, reporters and pizza delivery men to enter at will. Now, players must enter a keypad code to enter under the watchful eye of a security camera.
Players also need security access to open the new gate surrounding their parking lot, an area once populated by car salesmen, jewelry hawkers, reporters and a shady character from Daunte Culpepper's hometown who at one point was accused of stalking the quarterback.
The Vikings have elevated the same levels of security to their X's and O's. Three years ago, a copy of their playbook -- guarded like gold by most teams -- appeared on E-Bay. Such carelessness appears highly unlikely under coach Brad Childress.
It began in training camp, when a staffer noticed practice video on the website YouTube.com. The video was shot during a practice open to the public, but the Vikings tracked down the person responsible and demanded the video be taken off the Internet.
Otherwise, opposing teams -- at least those with magnifying glasses and video enhancers, considering the grainy nature of the film -- would have seen formations and personnel groupings that tip off certain plays. As camp continued, fans sitting in the stands were consistently asked not to videotape practice.
And, like most NFL coaches, Childress has been extraordinarily reluctant to disclose injuries or discuss player moves, sometimes playing games of semantics to tap dance around questions.
On Sept. 15, reporters noticed that practice squad receiver Jason Carter was missing. Because Carter had a strong preseason, it made sense that Carter might have been signed to another team's active roster.
Afterward, Childress was asked if the Vikings had lost Carter to another team. Childress said he didn't know and implied that he was unaware that Carter had not practiced. "I was looking at some different spots," Childress said.
In truth, Carter had not been signed by another team. Childress had given him permission to leave the team 24 hours earlier to be with his fiancé, who was due to give birth.
The cloak and dagger routine extends to the front office, which has held at least three staff meetings since January in which employees were threatened with immediate firing if they disseminated unauthorized information. Some staffers believe active efforts are underway to enforce the policy, from monitoring e-mails to scrutinizing cell phone records.
Similar tales of espionage emanate from most NFL teams, and it was hard not to notice the symbolism of the Vikings' flawless fake field goal last Sunday against Carolina. After drawing up the play, special teams coordinator Paul Ferraro initially told only five people -- Childress, assistant special teams coach Brian Murphy, kicker Ryan Longwell, holder Chris Kluwe and tight end Richard Owens.
Some players, especially those who do not take part in field goal practice drills, did not find out about it until they watched Longwell and Owens connect for a 16-yard touchdown pass in the game.
"Loose lips sink ships," Childress said on his KFAN radio show.
At 2-0, the Vikings ship is floating well. Just don't tell anyone.

Bears are popping up in Collier County neighborhoods again.
A family of bears has been hanging out in Naples backyard recently.
"We're happy to have them but not in our lanai," said Naples homeowner Brent Smith
Smith wants them gone and he's been trying just about everything to keep them away.
"When they start approaching into my personal property - it's a little alarming," Smith said.
Nothing more alarming than when his son came face to face with the animals in their garden.
"You're sort of like oh my gosh - what were they going to do - sit there and look at me or attack me," Brent's son, Tyler.
FWC is aware of the situation but they say there's nothing unusual about it.
Even if the bears aren't getting food from smith's house - they may be from another neighbor on the street - and there's not much they can do since relocation is rarely an option.
"A bear traveling in a neighborhood getting food from people whether it's purpose or not -that's ordinary bear behavior," said David Telesco, FWC.
But Smith's worried about his family and says it's hard not to fear the worst when you're dealing with a group of black bears.
"I kind of feel like maybe they're not taking it seriously and will take something really bad to happen," Smith said.
FWC recommended motion sprinklers and lights, even an electrical fence to the Smiths—but biologists will be investigating the area in the meantime.
