Canon 60D to Be Replaced in Two Weeks with Semi-Pro 70D?
There have been many reports over the last few months of dwindling Canon 60D stock — which can often indicate that a replacement is on the horizon. A number of rumors have surfaced recently regarding the possible replacement, the 70D, and where that camera will stand in terms of Canon's lineup. We've spoken about Canon's future product line, and how a 7D Mark II might fit in, and while there is no question the new 70D will have an APS-C sensor, the only other detail we definitely know is that Canon will have a product announcement near the end of March, based on the invite that just went out.
Canon Rumors recently published this picture, which shows an invite to a Canon product announcement in the Czech Republic on March 21st:
Canon Rumors has reported in the past that the 70D may be a significant upgrade from the 60D. The 60D is still one of the best values for shooting video in the Canon realm, as the video quality is basically the same as the T2i/T3i, but it has upgraded features from those cameras (and works great with Magic Lantern). Since it's been mentioned that the Canon 7D Mark II may move up and be the APS-C version of the 1D X, it also stands to reason that the 70D will move up in specs and price to fill the gap.
Like Nikon, Canon has been relatively conservative with their releases, so while I don't think the 70D will be the first affordable DSLR to have a real 1080p and no aliasing/moire, I do expect to see improvements to video. The Canon 5D Mark III and the Canon 1D X/1D C are the only models that Canon currently makes that rarely suffer from the distracting rainbow patterns or stair-stepping on horizontal lines. If the 7D Mark II is moving up to be the APS-C 1D X, I expect that camera to improve with its aliasing/moire issues, leaving the 70D as more of a wild card between the T4i and the 7D Mark II.
Canon will probably go one of two ways: they will make the 70D a less "pro" version of the 7D Mark II (which is rumored to have a 24MP sensor), by putting it in a less expensive body with fewer features (like no clean HDMI), or they will make the 70D a significant upgrade from the T4i/60D, but still well below the 7D Mark II. I think a lot of it comes down to how good the 7D Mark II will be. Since that camera will likely come out later than the 70D, there is still quite a bit of speculation as far as how Canon's future lineup will shake out. I think their product line has been too close together as of late, and they've basically been releasing the same camera over and over again with a similar 18MP sensor and the same video qualities (though with somewhat different photography features). As of right now I am leaning towards the 70D being a much improved 60D with possibly a better build and a higher resolution HDMI output that doesn't drop to 480p on record (and not necessarily a junior 7D Mark II), but we should see soon enough.
Either way, if you're in the market for a Canon 60D or T4i, it probably makes sense to wait a couple of weeks and see what the company has up their sleeves later this month.
What do you guys think Canon will do? Do you think the 70D will get a brand new 24MP sensor, or will Canon recycle the 18MP sensor from the T4i into a better housing with some other improved features, or neither?

For video output, the T2i, T3i, T4i, 60D, and 7D are all relatively equal, correct? The 7D just has more photographic features and a weatherproof body.
Why do videographers contrast the 60D and 7D?
Andy on 03.7.13 @ 5:58AM
I prefer the Canon 60D for video over the 7D for a few reasons:
1. The 60D's LCD screen gives you an effective 20% jump in resolution vs the 7D which helps in focusing. I realize the actual pixel difference is 12.84%, but the 60D uses the entire screen whereas the 7D has black bars so the effective jump in resolution is over 20%. I use a Z-Finder so this is important to me. (If I used an external monitor I would prefer the 7D which outputs 1080 via HDMI vs 480P from the 60D.)
2. From the start the 60D has had manual audio levels.
3. The 60D uses less expensive SD Cards vs the 7D's more expensive Compact Flash Cards.
4. I've never had an overheating issue running a 60D for 8 hours straight whereas earlier software versions of the 7D would give the overheating warning frequently.
By the way, the 60D is much better in terms of Moire/Aliasing than the 6D which is surprising.
Canon has been screwing up in so many ways, not only for the consumer, but also for their shareholders that they better get the 70D right because the Nikon D7100 is formidable having most of the features that videographers want – Dual Card Slots, Headphone Jack, negligible Moire/Aliasing, decent low light ability, 1.3 Zoom mode, 3.2″ LCD and an uncompressed HDMI out.
Neil on 03.7.13 @ 1:18PM
I've been using the 60D for over 2yrs and its been a workhorse. As my first DSLT it's been awesome to use. I like the size of it in my hands and the tougher build than the plasticky T4i etc. The only thing that has been a disappointment has been how easily the HDMI socket broke – of course this happened 1 month after the warranty expired… It's a shame that more manufacturers don't have a workable solution for this – most of the cages, clamps etc. for HDMI cables are for the 7D and 5D. Of course, if Canon had a better socket to begin with throughout their line manufacturers wouldn't even have to make clamps.
If the 70D is a solid improvement over the 60D and comes in at below $1500 then I'd consider the upgrade.
Augusto Alves da SIlva on 03.7.13 @ 8:50PM
Neil on 03.8.13 @ 4:14AM
Thanks but I'm pretty sure LockCircle doesn't make one for the 60D – Only the 5d mkII and III and the 7D
Andy on 03.8.13 @ 2:24AM
I purchased (2) 60D's brand new and the first time I plugged an HDMI cable in the connection was intermittent (unless I held the cable just right). I tried a few different new HDMI cables and also tried both 60D's and they both exhibited the same issue – very unreliable connection that had to be held in a certain position to get it to work. I never used the HDMI ports again.
VonMcNeal on 03.7.13 @ 5:29AM
Hmm, 70d you say? I would love to make an upgrade on my 600d. If Canon does make the 24 mp camera, I would part with my 600d in miliseconds. But if they tend to stick with the same ol 18.1 mp, Ill stay with what I have and save for something better. I'm excited to hear more on the 70d.
Jesuan on 03.7.13 @ 6:49AM
getting new stuff is always exciting…but if canon is releasing a new camera every two weeks, it becomes kind of annoying..although it improves some question from older stuff.
David S. on 03.7.13 @ 9:11AM
60D and 7D are both overdue for a replacement.
Why do you post things you don't know anything about. It has been 2.5 years since the 60D has been updated and that line has traditionally been updated every 2 yeras, so it is overdue. The 7d is even older, released 3 years ago. The new cameras are very welcome and I hope their specs are up to date.
Canon announcements/rumors don't even make me feel gear-lust anymore. le sigh -_-
Voltaire on 03.7.13 @ 7:26AM
Canon will probably recycle the same sensor that they have been recycling for the past four-years with the most minute and conservative of tweaks, if that. Rubbish.
alex on 03.7.13 @ 10:12AM
All these DSLR's are just ever so slightly an improvement on the ones prior. I'd love for canon to put out less frequently and really make a bang with substantial upgrades. Forget the 70D, come out with a 7DmkII that can shoot 1080 at 60fps, with no aliasing and high ISO's. That'd be cool. Maybe throw a swivel screen on there, and some clean HDMI out. The APS-C sensor is cheaper, so why not make that camera better suited toward video? Maybe even some higher frame rates at 720p? 120fps at 720p would be a big deal, but not a game changer for folks in higher price brackets.
Instead we get these tiny incremental upgrades.
Marc B on 03.7.13 @ 2:49PM
The new version of the 7D should be a feature for feature (wherever possible) APS-C version of the full frame 5D MkIII. Otherwise, they shouldn't bother.
Shouldn't have bought 60D two weeks ago… facepalm. On the other hand, it will still be a solid camera and Im just wondering what they improve on it. If they only rehouse the T4i and add wifi and gps, it wouldn't even make sense to upgrade I guess. Either way, 60 will always be a good secondary camera even if the new 70D / 7D mk2 will blow us away :)
Joe Marine on 03.7.13 @ 11:33AM
It's always tricky with releases. Many thought the 70D would be released earlier in the year, but obviously that did not happen.
Jorge Cayon on 03.7.13 @ 1:38PM
Although it does come across as negatitive, the truth is most productions atleast the ones I deal with, don't want DSLR footage anymore. They are past that and view it as cheap looking. Most of us started off with DSLR cameras or are going to in the near future. But I don't think they've come a long way for the semi-pro market. I shouldn't have to keep spending on accessories to make something work. In the life of a paying production people don't want to risk time and money on making something work, it just has to. The biggest complaint I get from clients is that they can't really color grade or VFX the footage with ease. To most producers they'd rather spend upfront for products than later on with more expesive post production costs.
His statement does stand true, somewhat. Why bother with Canon? They really don't care about producing quality gear for the guys that helped get where they are today in the world of video. Indie people are all about best bang for the buck. I don't think Canon is doing that anymore.
Dare I say? Because technology in this category is changing so fast, these cameras are obsolete in only a few years – kind of how keyboard synthesizers were in the 1980-90s. So kind of wish for a cheaper S35 rangefinder that takes Canon L lenses, shoots at least 60FPS, is good at high ISO, and has no ailiasing. No need for a prism, or for a Single Len Reflex system because I use the Zacuto Finder for framing shots. Waterproof plastic body like an oversized GoPro rather than expensive magnesium. WiFi, a detachable Batterygrip-like grip for XLR audio, with Monitor output when needed… Also the Canon mount is a bit wobbly when using follow focus, so some kind of mechanical clamp to keep the lens in place better….Nothing like a 70D!
Oh and the lens clamp should also be sort of like the metabones adpater to focus the light more and gain one extra stop of light, and get a full frame field of view -when desired – for getting wide angle views.
Mohan on 03.7.13 @ 2:59PM
There's no point in evaluating the video capabilities of the 7ds or 5ds as Canon will make sure that they don't perform better than their EOS C-series, meaning the image quality is predetermined. This is the reason, why we see DSLRs with only subtle upgrades and nothing ground breaking like the BMCC in terms of image quality.
David F on 03.7.13 @ 3:36PM
I think Canon has completely mishandled an opportunity. I have clients that at one time specifically asked for a 5d or 7d tell me " I don't want that Canon look". The sad part is that I think that stigma seems to be sticking to their pro line also.
When your out in the field and a client says "no Canon look", you can't risk bringing in something that says Canon and having to explain it to them. Why? Because they don't care or don't understand. It'll be interesting if the once golden egg becomes their achilles heel.
I do get some clients that ask for the DSLR's but more and more they tend to be the ones that fight you on everything. At the end of those projects I'm left scratching my head thinking "Why the F*@$# did I take this gig.
Is this happening to others or am I just dealing with strange cliental?
Swested on 03.7.13 @ 6:33PM
Nope, you aren't alone. This issue is because the clients that request DSLRs often do it because they are picky and are trying to be cheap. It's typically much more enjoyable to work with clients who provide parameters on the final product – not on the equipment being used.
marklondon on 03.7.13 @ 8:10PM
I strongly disagree that the 'stigma' is sticking to their pro line. The C300 is pretty much SOP with the people I deal with, and will be until there are enough F5s around.
I've had my 60D for two years and it's been invaluable. Cheap enough for me to invest in good lenses, light enough to shoot handheld for extended periods of time and the articulating screen is a godsend for shooting at extreme angles.
marklondon on 03.7.13 @ 8:15PM
Up until very recently the 60D was the camera I'd recommend to people starting out hybrid shooting (now its the Nikon D5200).
A great workhorse that has shot a TON of great stuff.
As for the rest of these comments: these cameras are built for stills shooters first, and will be until that market disappears. I hate to tell you, but a lot of people (the majority of camera buyers) don't shoot any video with their DSLRs. None. You, I, represent the cream, not the milk.
Jason on 03.7.13 @ 7:03PM
Mark my words, the new camera will be the EOS REBEL SL1
larry on 03.7.13 @ 8:51PM
Eventually canon will be making all raw capable dslr's for a cheap bargin theyre just in the transition stage of pushing those old dslr's out. canon know exactly what they're doing. people love using dslr's because they are small and affordable, easy to use, and don't require alot of RAM space to edit the footage. Everyone can't afford scarlet, Alexa, F55 etc.. so those people have dslr's and the footage still looks good… To the Average viewer they can care less about what something was shot on, BECAUSE CONTENT IS KEY!!!! RIGHT???
Jason on 03.8.13 @ 8:52PM
I can guarantee that if there was banding or grain in "Leaving Las Vegas", it would have failed miserably. Oh wait.
My friend has a 650d, and I have a 60d bought brand new recently, no way could I do without 2 wheels, the 650d only has 1, to change exposure on the 650d you have to press a button on the rear of the camera then turn the command dial on top, I find that so awkward and the 60d trounces the 650d in many areas including the latter, also in my honest opinion the 60d has better picture quality than the 650d, when comparing my friends 650d's pictures to the 60d's I find the skin tones on the 650d are too reddish no matter which picture style you use, and there is more picture noise in the 650d's picture starting around 400 iso onwards, I don't care what other folks say, the 60d trounces any rebel to date and in my opinion it is a very underrated DSLR, and I can confirm after reading many unbiased 60d reviews on the Internet that the 60d's picture is ultimately superior than the Nikon d7000, all in all I think the 60d is one heck of a camera, I love it!!!!
Seenematic on 03.8.13 @ 2:03AM
The 60D has the exact same sensor as the 550D, 600D, 650D and 7D. For video there's NO difference whatsoever in the quality. I've been on various shoots where these cameras have been used, and I use t2i and t3i myself, and the 60D is not better or worse than any of the other cameras with the same sensor.
Jason on 03.8.13 @ 8:53PM
Whoah, stop yelling. One exclamation point is too many in a comment section, let alone 500.
Rafael Lino on 03.8.13 @ 6:32AM
Isn't the Nikon D5200 the first affordable Dslr with no aliasing or moire?
Rafael Lino on 03.8.13 @ 6:35AM
Also has clean Hdmi out, so yeah I don't understand this article when you published this info a few weeks ago.
Joe Marine on 03.8.13 @ 8:07AM
Doesn't have real 1080p, resolution is lower than the D800 which is closer to real 1080p, but suffers from aliasing and moire. All of Nikon's cameras except the D800 can't change aperture in live view with automatic iris lenses. That's a problem for some situations – it's makes the cameras less versatile.
Luke on 03.8.13 @ 9:19PM
Does everyone ignore the GH2 just because its not a Canikon?
I know its actually a DSLM and its sensor is m43, but still – true, ultra-sharp 1080p and zero moire
And much less expensive than the canons
Luke, both the T3i and T4i are cheaper than the GH2.
And one GH3 will get you 3 T3i's.
Jorge Cayon on 03.9.13 @ 10:57AM
+1. I jumped on Panasonic GH series since the 1 and now all the way up to the 3. But I will say unless your client knows what a hacked GH2 looks like footage wise they won't respect it. I don't know how many gigs I showed up up to with two GH2′s, lighting package, lavs, boom and mixer/recorder, only to have to spend the first 30 minutes proving to them that the camera is great. I honestly think people just got fanboyish for the Canons when they came out.
I shot this for a client on a hacked GH2 over 2 years ago, color graded on magic bullet. This one little video I did for free has got me so much work at most high end track events that I can't keep up. Sure I bricked one of the bodies about a year later, but I definitely squeezed all the juice out of it. I mount this inside the cockpit of cars pulling almost 3g's of force and the camera just takes it. My 5dMKII overheated and shut off after the 3rd lap. That's not even 6 minutes in. I now use a D800 but mostly because of the stills quality. Not to mention a GH2 and 3-4 lenses can go for the price of just one Canon body.
I didn't notice that last part. Well asking for real 1080p on DSLR, that's dreaming high. Here's hoping it happens.
Joe Marine on 03.9.13 @ 7:00AM
I don't think it's dreaming that high when the 1D C is capable, and it's basically the same camera as the 1D X. That tech should be able to be filtered down to a less expensive camera with a smaller sensor.
Frank B on 03.8.13 @ 3:12PM
The 7D is already awesome.. anything added to it would just be showing off. But I do welcome it.. lets see.. what could make it better? Headphone jacks, hmmm.. dual card slots, the ability to use the flash as a light that stays on.. etc what? a smartphone phone jack?
Jason on 03.8.13 @ 8:54PM
A humdinger port would be nice.
Jason on 03.8.13 @ 8:55PM
for humdingers.
Nelson on 03.10.13 @ 4:04AM
Try to convince people with a Panasonic GH camera before shooting is a lot more harder compare to a Nikon or Canon, I had some ppl even asking does it shoot on film or digital lol But it does give extra satisfaction when people get blown away by the result afterward
Anthony A. on 03.19.13 @ 7:22PM
If the new CANON 70D doesn't have (at least) a headphone jack, HDMI out, or dual card slots I'm going with the new NIKON 7100 and buying new NIKOR lenses. Sorry Canon but you spend so much time protecting expensive bodies no semi-pro human can afford you are seriously lost your competitive edge a year ago. The 6D is a joke and TAMRON 24-70 2.8f IS.. is.. better than your 24-70 non IS for 750$ less? Hoping this 70D is something special. But doubtful.
I'm in the market for a new DSLR, so I'm hoping they will come out with the 70D…and that it's significantly upgraded from the current 60D. The 60D has been out for some time, I think more than 3 years, so it would make sense that that level camera gets an upgrade. Any idea how long it typically takes to hit the market after the announcement?
Sivakumar V K on 03.20.13 @ 4:20PM
Canon cannot claim their 60D as their reply to Nikon's 7000D which is feature rich with a mg alloy body.But only the 7D can be it's match in a consumers view .But the prices of Canon are no where near to Nikon7000D Canon enthusiasts are really left high and dry in the past.I have my Canon DSLR that needs up gradation and waiting for the 70D for long. (But Nikon stole the show by releasing 7100D). We all expect a feature rich 70D that will be be a fit answer to Nikon7100D in built quality,features and price. If canon fails it may be loosing the edge and consumer moving to new pastures!
Leave the video out…. I'm a photographer….

Garcia though was getting touched by Morales with good shots before he KOd him... I will see how he reacts if Zab cracks him with some power shots.. His father talked him into a position where he better cash in... If not his father will forever have to keep his mouth the fuck shut...

text: Foreclosures Up in January, More to ComeJudicial foreclosure states began to see increases in filing rates last month, for the first time since robo-signing issues arose. By Claire Easley Foreclosure filings continued to creep up in January, gaining 3% from December, according to data released today by RealtyTrac. A total of 210,941 properties—or one in every 624 housing units—received a filing during the month.While January's level remained 19% below year-ago levels, "we continue to see signs on a local and regional level that the frozen-up foreclosure process is beginning to thaw," said Brandon Moore, CEO at RealtyTrac, in a statement released today.Evidence of a thaw has been mounting since robo-signing issues were resolved, resulting in rising numbers of filings in states where foreclosures don't involve judicial action. But in January, that trend spread to judicial foreclosure states as well, for the first time since the robo-signing problems were discovered. "Foreclosure activity increased on a year-over-year basis for the first time in more than 12 months in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, and Pennsylvania, following a pattern we saw in late 2011 in states such as California, Arizona, and Massachusetts," Moore said.And the growing trend is likely to pick up speed thanks to the recent settlement between some of the major lenders and 49 state attorneys general, says Daren Blomquist, a RealtyTrac spokesman, since the settlement provides clarity for banks on what it means to foreclose properly."That might not seem like a good thing for the market, but it's a necessary trend that we think has to happen before those markets can hit a true bottom and then start trending upward again," Blomquist said. "We need to deal with this backlog of distressed inventory."Separated by filing type, first-time default notices were flat in January from the previous month at a total of 58,362, although down 22% year-over-year. Several states saw dramatic increases for the month, including Pennsylvania (up 112%), Maryland (up 100%), and Florida (up 36% and higher on an annual basis for the third consecutive month).Foreclosure auctions were up 1% from December and down 20% from January 2011, with a total of 86,037 scheduled for the month. Four states saw a jump of more than 50%, including Massachusetts (up 57%), South Carolina (up 79%), Indiana (up 141%), and Illinois (up 141%).Lender repossessions (REOs) were up 8% from the previous month and down 15% from the previous year, with a total count of 66,542.Nevada posted the highest foreclosure rate among states with one in every 198 housing units receiving a filing during January, a 52-month low for the beleaguered state, an 8% drop from December, and a 52% drop year-over-year.California, at a 50-month low for the state, came in at No. 2, with one in every 265 housing units receiving a filing—a total of 51,584 properties.Arizona, at No. 3, was up 14% from the previous month with one in every 325 housing units the recipient of a filing, although the number was down 44% year-over-year.Other states in the top 10 were Georgia, Michigan, Florida, Illinois, Delaware, Colorado, and Indiana.Among cities, nine of the top 10 foreclosing metro areas were in California, with the only exception being Las Vegas. Of the top 20 metro areas for foreclosures, four posted year-over-year increases, including Lansing-East Lansing, Mich. (up 20%), Orlando, Fla. (up 55%), Chicago (up 13%), and Miami (up 21%).As for the future, Blomquist doesn't anticipate that foreclosures will again reach the levels seen in 2009 and 2010, either in individual states or on a national level. However, "we have one more big bump in the road to get through with these delayed foreclosures. It's going to get a little worse before it gets better." Due to robo-signing issues, he said, last year was artificially low, which will force 2012 to be artificially high. "But once we get through that, we should see foreclosures hit a more long-term downward trend—provided no more wrenches are thrown into the foreclosure process."Claire Easley is a senior editor at Builder.Learn more about markets featured in this article: Las Vegas, NV, Greenville, SC.

Pumpkin-Sweet Potato Soup Recipe
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
4 medium carrots, peeled, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, to taste
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon curry powder- mild or hot, to taste
Dash of sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 14.5-oz. can pumpkin (or 2 heaping cups fresh, peeled and cubed)
1 medium sweet potato, peeled, cubed
6 cups light vegetable broth
2-3 tablespoons dry sherry or white wine, if desired
1/2 can coconut milk, to taste
Lime zest for garnish
In a heavy soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat, and sauté the onion for about 5 minutes until softened. Add in the chopped carrots and celery, and stir in the spices. Lower heat and gently cook for about 10 minutes, being careful not to brown the onions.
Add in the pumpkin, sweet potato and vegetable broth, and sherry; stir together. Cover and bring to a slow simmer, cooking the soup for about 25-35 minutes until the vegetables are very tender.
Remove from heat, and puree the soup with an immersion hand blender right in the pot; or puree it batches in a blender or food processor (carefully ladle the soup into a blender not more than half full, cover tightly and puree the soup until it is smooth and creamy; return the puree to soup pot).
Taste and adjust the seasonings.
Return the pot to low-medium heat. Stir in the coconut milk and blend till smooth. Warm through gently for ten minutes- don't boil it.
Serve in bowls with a sprinkle of lime zest.
Perfect with my Gluten-Free Multi-Grain Bread, warm from the oven.

Who let the Accrington peacocks out? VIDEO: hear their call
Updated 5:43pm Wednesday 11th December 2013 in News
PEACOCKS roaming free in an Accrington neighbourhood are ruffling feathers.
The birds have been keeping residents awake at night, and have been spotted popping to fast food restaurants for their dinner.
The issue is being investigated by Hyndburn Council, which will call in wildlife experts after it received complaints from residents.
Joan Pilkington, 78, said there were four peacocks which she has described as 'horrendous' during the mating season in the summer.
The Princess Street resident said: "Me and my next door neighbour have been trying for 12 months to get something done about these peacocks.
"They perch on our chimney opposite our bedroom window and are squawking constantly from 9pm to 11pm at night and then from daybreak.
"It's the most horrendous noise I have ever heard. I don't want to come home in the summer months."
The peacocks are kept alongside geese on spare land between Princess Street and Hyndburn Road, although it isn't known who is responsible for them.
A man at a bunglalow on land adjacent to the field said the land was not connected to the house.
He said: "Everybody thinks it's the same land - the council and the police.
"It used to be connected to this property, but the owners sold it to somebody in Clement Street."
Ann Holden lives in Monk Street, and her property backs onto the spare land.
The 58-year-old said: "In the summer, they do make a lot of noise because they're mating, and they squawk and scream.
"They jump on my roof, but they are fine and it's no trouble whatsoever."
Samantha Wood, 26, said: "The peacocks go to KFC to get food and they stop traffic in Hyndburn Road.
"But they are fine and it stops traffic going too fast. They are lovely creatures and don't attack."
Deputy leader of Hyndburn Council, Coun Clare Pritchard confirmed the council was investigating 'what can be done to prevent the birds causing a problem'.
She said: "I have never had a complaint until the last couple of weeks. We don't know who is responsible." "When I have been to KFC, I have seen them on the car park. They eat chicken."
The owner of Princess Street Garage, Christopher Holt, said he had seen three peacocks 'roaming about'.
A spokesman for Lancashire Wildlife Trust added: "We would certainly not recommend people to have peacocks roaming the street. If they are, they are not being cared for."

You should be grateful that you can see these birds on a daily basis.
As someone as already said, these birds have been there for years. Leave them alone. They have an equal right to be there as any one of us!

An attorney who was drunk when he plowed into a state highway worker was sentenced on Friday to nine years in prison.
David Murdock apologized to the family of Clifton Scott who was killed in September 2012 while working a crash on Interstate 70 in Independence. Murdock drove through barriers and past flares and other warnings before the crash.
Jackson County prosecutors sought the maximum punishment of 15 years in prison while Murdock's attorneys sought probation.
Family, friends, law enforcement officials and first responders filled the courtroom for Friday's sentencing hearing.
Family members said they were glad Murdock was sentenced to prison and didn't get just probation.
Scott worked for MODOT for 15 years and was considered an exemplary employee. He was 51 years old.
There are signs up in his memory on the stretch of I-70 where he died.

A Miami police officer whose shooting of an unarmed motorist two years ago capped a string of fatal police encounters that sparked a public outcry and political upheaval was fired on Wednesday.
The reason: a review board finding that officer Reynaldo Goyos used unjustified deadly force when he shot and killed Travis McNeil and wounded friend Kareem Williams as they sat in car at a Little Haiti intersection.
The decision coming seven months after the Miami-Dade state attorneys office declined to prosecute after determining the shooting had not reached the level of criminal intent didnt offer much solace to the victims family. At the McNeil home in Overtown, the mood was subdued and somber.
It doesnt help my son a whole lot, said McNeils mother, Sheila McNeil. Nothing will bring Travis back.
Across town, Fraternal Order of Police President Javier Ortiz blasted a decision that he vowed would not stick. The union intends to appeal.
Ortiz said Goyos, a seven-year veteran taking part in a multiagency undercover gang task force, had been put into harms way by a federal agent driving the vehicle carrying both of them. He also blamed McNeil for his own death, claiming he didnt follow the officers command.
There is no doubt that Officer Goyos will get his job back, said Ortiz.
Chief Manuel Orosa formally announced the firing on Wednesday, nearly two months after the police departments Firearms Review Board concluded the shooting was unjustified.
In a short, seven-paragraph opinion released for the first time, the board found that the evidence surrounding the shooting was inconsistent with Officer Goyos statement. The report said McNeil had been struck in the rear left shoulder blade area, which didnt match with Goyos description that he had approached the car from the passenger side and had seen a black object on Mr. McNeil.
The review board found the shooting was in violation of the departments deadly force policy because neither Goyos nor anyone else was in imminent danger of death or serious physical injury when the officer opened fire.
The review board also ruled that the officer should have never approached the vehicle, but instead should have retreated and followed all training protocols regarding felony stops involving armed subjects or vehicles.
Orosa refused comment pending the appeals process. According to union chief Ortiz, an arbitrator will review the firing and issue a binding decision.
The review board is composed of ranking officers and staff who review every police-involved shooting. As far as anyone could remember Wednesday, the board had never ruled an officer-involved shooting unjustified.
The shooting occurred on a Thursday night in February 2011. Goyos, joined by officers from Hialeah and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations, were targeting gang members, some who they believed spent time at a notorious Little River establishment called the Take One Cocktail Lounge on Northeast 79th Street. An hour before midnight McNeil, 28, and Williams, 32, were kicked out of the lounge for being drunk and drove off, but not before an officer in the parking lot radioed other officers that the men were leaving.
By the time McNeils Kia Sorrento had reached the intersection of Northeast 75th Street and North Miami Avenue, three unmarked vehicles with flashing lights had blocked off his path. Thats when, the citys review board found, Goyos approached McNeils car on the passenger side, warning, Dont do it.
Goyos opened fire, striking Williams twice, and McNeil once in the back near his left shoulder. The bullet killed him. The only dark objects found in the car were cellphones.
The McNeil shooting was the seventh fatal shooting of young black men by Miami police officers in just eight months, a string of violence that raised tensions in inner city neighborhoods and caused a political backlash at City Hall that would ultimately cost then-Chief Miguel Exposito his job.
The other men shot and killed by police were Joell Lee Johnson, Tarnorris Tyrell Gaye, Gibson Junior Belizaire, Brandon Foster, and Lynn Weatherspoon. Weapons were found on five of the men.
In November 2011, nine months after the last shooting, the U.S. Justice Department, at the urging of local civil rights groups and U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson, announced it would review the shootings and department policies. That investigation is still ongoing. The state attorneys office also investigated the shootings but concluded none of the officers had committed a crime.
The Goyos firing adds to turmoil at the department. After a relatively calm year, the police department has been rocked by scandal and corruption in recent weeks.
Internal Affairs detectives are working with the FBI in an ongoing probe of up to 10 officers suspected of providing protection to a Liberty City gambling ring. One of those officers was arrested last week on an extortion charge. Earlier this month, a former narcotics detective was convicted of eight felonies, including obstruction of justice and taking drugs and money from suspects. A second detective also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drug charges stemming from the same investigation, and later testified against his partner, as did four detectives who worked on his team.
The string of embarrassments continued Wednesday with the arrest of a Miami police office who prosecutors charged with sexually assaulting a female suspect in his squad car.
Pastor Anthony Tate of the New Resurrection Community Church, who comforted Sheila McNeil for months after the shooting, called the Goyos firing good news.
It gives a new perspective on the city of Miami that theyre now policing their own, Tate said. It shows there is discipline and concern.
For Sheila McNeil, at home surrounded by family, the past two years have been blurry. She said she has noticed an easing of tensions in her own neighborhood since Orosa replaced Exposito.
Still, two years after her sons death, smiling is difficult, she said.
Not a day goes by when I dont think of Travis, McNeil said. My grandson is a constant reminder, he just turned 12. For a while I just wanted some justice, but at the end of the day, nothing is going to bring him back.

4 Customer Reviews
By: Dan
It's pretty close to being great!
Great things about the cart
1.It makes getting on and off the course quick/easy
2.Very stable
3.It secures (newer Ogio) bags to the cart very well
4.It is cooler than your friend's cart
5.It's tough (I've had mine for over a year now and have not had any problems)
Worst thing about the cart
No real accessories for the accessory port. I mean really guys??? You make a great cart that costs plus 200 but don't offer any accessories? Ogio dropped the ball on this. I would think that a company would want to offer their customers more options and profit from that selling point. I want to attach my GPS to the top of the cart (rather than putting it on the side) it would make things easier for me, speed up the game, and it would make my already cool push cart, even cooler! Hey Ogio!!! Make some accessories!!!!!
By: Mike
Poor quality amongst other carts
Strap system is very poor unless you spend another $200 for matching bag. Worst cart I have had in last 15 years and I have had 4 prior to this purchase. My advice would be avoid this poor quality product.
By: Jani
Simple luxury - with minor issues
First season with brand new Ogio X4 was very nice experience. Cart works as promised and I really love to just fold it with bag attached, then lift it to trunk and off you go. With 4 wheels it is very stable.
Some minor (on my point of view) issues:
- Can't recommend for ladies, because of the weight
- Storage compartment is quite small and needs development
- Breaks could be little more effective. It does not move normally in slope with breaks on, but on steep slopes sometimes does.
- I would really love to see real accessories for this cart and for its "accessory port". For example sand bottle would be nice.
By: Manny
Good overall Push Cart
I have had my cart for 8 months now and I have only one complaint. The suspension rods will bend over time. I have already sent in for replacement rods, which Ogio was great with, and I will have to send out for a second replacement within the year due to the same issue. If Ogio would develop stronger rods I can honestly say that no push cart out there would compete with the ability of this product.

Very cute design! The placecards were a nice size and the lettering was very "Broadway"! The downside is the assembly - a bit frustrating at times. After being put together it required tape to secure it (too time consuming). Also, if someone were to walk by a table and create a breeze the cards would tip over. The paper quality was little on the cheap side.

The Bears made changes at safety after a Week Five loss, demoting Chris Harris and Brandon Meriweather, and a lack of stability at the position has been a theme throughout Lovie Smith's tenure. The sample size is limited on the current starting duo of rookie FS Chris Conte and second-year SS Major Wright, but they've provided an upgrade at safety this season and are getting a chance to prove they can be long-term answers. They have been the starting safeties in all but one of the last five games — Wright was inactive in Week Seven. Conte has displayed better discipline than Meriweather did. Wright brings more speed and range than Harris offered. Although Harris was released, the Bears still have Meriweather, a two-time Pro Bowler, backing up. He played in a few series in Week 11, but because he signed a one-year deal before the season, he'll be looking in free agency for a team that will give him a chance to start.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- As the anniversary of the September 11th attack nears, communities are taking time to remember those we've lost.
On Sunday, a 5K race honored fallen heroes.
The 9/11 heroes run was part of a world-wide event hosted in more than 50 other locations.
More than 100 people took part in the inaugural run in Bloomington, which was the only one in the state of Illinois.
The event also honored fallen Bloomington Firefighter Chris Brown, whose son fired the opening shot of the race.
"Those heroes that gave their lives on 9/11 didn't flinch, they didn't think twice,"said Race Director Rebecca Kingery. "They were running in when everyone else was running out and a lot of people don't realize how important these people are to our communities and what they give to protect us. So this is a way for us to not only honor and remember them, but thank them."
Proceeds from the event benefit the Bloomington Fire Union and the Travis Manion Foundation.
The Travis Manion Foundation assists veterans and the families of fallen heroes.
Organizers hoped to raise up to $5,000.

A 2-month-old baby is out of the hospital and recovering well after being shaken by a Chesterfield babysitter, according to police.
The child was shaken so severely, it had to be taken to the hospital with multiple brain bleeds and an eye hemorrhage. Ashley Pigg faces a number of charges for the crime, but is now out on $10,000 bond.
Pigg was a regular caregiver for the victim at her home on Hartford Lane, until the incident in January. Police say Pigg confessed to taking the fussy baby out of a swing and shaking it.
While the baby is recovering well, any long term damage won't be clear for some time.

wainscoting around the rest of the room that works well with the cultured marble vanity top and mirror.
The long 'galley' kitchen has plenty of counter space for those
seafood feasts that you'll want to have once you see the selection
of locally caught crab, shrimp, clams and oysters. Time at the beach
is not complete without a good Seafood Feast. A large dining table
welcomes large gatherings. An outdoor propane grill and Outdoor
Shower enclosure are true essentials at the beach! Eating outdoors at the picnic
table is a great way to finish off a day of outdoor activities.
A gravel drive accommodates two cars and there is on-street parking
for additional guests.
activities and attractions in Chincoteague Island Virginia
The Agape House's location couldn't be more convenient. Just two
short blocks to Maddox Boulevard, the main road connecting the city
with the beaches of Assateague Island. Walk around the corner to the Dollar Store for necessities you may have forgotten, eat at the many restaurants along the road, and enjoy the short stroll to the The Creamery, the best local ice cream
Head the other direction and you're on Main Street in no time.
Stroll the boardwalk along the Chincoteague Channel, the site of
many civic events and festivals. Check out a current-run movie at
the 1930s'era single screen cinema; and if your timing is right and
you're here on the Second Saturday of every month – enjoy the Art
Be sure to bring your bikes, or rent them here, as the island is
flat and it's a great way to see the sites and get some exercise.
It's a pleasant 20-minute bike ride to Assateague Island and a view of
the ponies and the unspoiled beaches.
The pace of life on Chincoteague is refreshingly slower than many of
the mid-Atlantic resort communities, not much in the way of concrete
and a "hi-rise" is all of three stories. The infrastructure of this
7 mile by 2 mile island just won't support a lot of development and
that's what folks like about it.

It was 30 years ago this month that Harold Washington was elected and sworn in as mayor of Chicago. He was, of course, the city's first African-American chief executive, but his legacy extends far beyond that.
He died just 4-1/2 years later, shortly after winning a second term and consolidating control of a racially divided City Council that reflected racial divisions in the city at large. He made changes that brought a degree of transparency to city services, hiring and contracting. He made mistakes -- not least relying on a patronage chief who went to federal prison for taking bribes from an FBI undercover mole. But Washington became an international symbol of how Chicago was changing and was the epicenter of urban politics. Big, important issues were being fought over here.
In his book, "Dreams from My Father," Barack Obama wrote that what first made him think about moving to Chicago was the Council Wars battle between Mayor Washington and the aldermanic opposition. Every time the president or the first lady comes back to town is a vibrant reminder of what today's Chicagoans owe to the city's first African-American mayor.

yes she likes them a lot
yes she likes them a lot, especially the clear sparkle, but would have liked bigger diamonds each one same as her engagement ring, but that would have been too expensive for me right now ...!
Perfect shiny elegant earrings
These earrings were a present for my wife after 2 years married. She loves earrings, and I always wanted to buy her a nice pair of diamonds. The earrings look absolutely beautiful, with an amazing sparkly bright and just the perfect size (don't expect anything huge, but they are so elegant and pop so much that you won't need a bigger size, maybe 1ct maximum if ears are bigger). I am very very happy with my purchase, she loves them, and I would repeat 100% with Blue Nile.
She loves the earrings more each day!
Beautiful stones and quick service. I will be ordering an engagement ring soon.
not gifted yet!
These are a gify for our anniversary which is in 2 months, so I just thought I would take advantage of the sale and purchase a gist in advance.
Perfect, she loves these earings.
She had a pair of fake diamond earings she would sometimes wear, but said years ago she'd like a real pair of diamond stud earings to match her wedding ring. She loves these earings. Pictures on-line do not do these earings justice, they seem to amplify the light around them.
Great earings!
This was my first diamond purchase except for my wedding ring. So I am a novice, but I think these are lovely. Great clarity, and they are very white. I have the 3/4 carat tw earings and they are a perfect size for me.The only thing to warn about- the screw-backs make it time consuming to put them on and take them off, so you will find yourself wearing only these and the rest of your earing collection will be left to collect dust!
Happy Anniversary!!
Excellent quality for the price. She absolutely loved the earrings.
Sparkly like a Christmas star
The earrings are truly beautiful. They are actually larger than I thought they would be.
The posts on the earrings were different sizes, so they didn't fit correctly.
The earrings looked great, but my wife had trouble when trying them on. Upon further review, the earring posts were different sizes, so they didn't fit correctly in her ears. We contacted Blue Nile, and we are awaiting the replacement pair of earrings. They were surprised by the issue, but the earrings are clearly different sizes. I hope the next pair are of better quality given the price paid for these. I would add that the customer service individuals that I talked to were very helpful in organizing the exchange.
Mother's Day Gift!
The S2 clarity of the dimonds is well worth it! I bought them as a gift for her first Mother's Day and she loved them!
My wife loved her new earring. Well Done!
I was very happy with my shopping experience at Blue Nile. I would recommend Blue Nile to all of my friends.
Well pleased. Worried about overall size but this was just right, not too small, not too big
She loved the earrings. Super quality!
Earrings were of exceptional quality. The diamonds are beautiful - so much nicer than diamonds I've seen at local jewelers. Worth every penny.
Great diamonds and great service.
This is the second time I have used Blue Nile for diamonds and was thrilled to have the same great experience as before. Diamond studs were beautiful. I wouldn't buy from anyone else.
Great buying experience.
The studs are beautiful. Exactly what I could get at a top notch brick and mortar store but zero hassle and great price. Plus GF is ecstatically happy! All in all, great purchase experience.
This was an anniversary gift for my wife and she loved them!! And I loved the ease of ordering them from Blue Nile!
Spoiling Myself !!
I always wanted diamond earrings for my second ear piercings, and finally had saved up enough money to do so. These 3/4 stud diamond earrings fit the bill for my budget. They are a nice size for a second piercing. since I've put them on, I haven't taken them off, I even sleep in them. The screw on backs have stayed secure and I've had no problems with them. They are very shiny and eye clean and a clear white color. For the price I purchased them for, very satisfied.
The earrings were beautiful, but the earring backs were almost impossible to get on and off. Didn't want to return them, so we bought different backs.
Absolutely Perfect!
I bought these for my girlfriend and she loved them. The actual earrings were of better quality than advertised. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and I will definitely use BlueNile again.
Great value and quality
The earrings were very beautiful, better then than the picture and exceeded my expectations for value and quality.
They are beautiful earrings. They're not huge, but I wasn't expecting them to be. The tradeoff between size and sparkle, for me, is an easy one. I'd always step down in size one or two notches to move up in clarity and color. They're the perfect size for my wife's ears.
Perfect anniversary gift!
Shopped Blue Nile, then went to the malls, then came back to Blue Nile. The diamonds I viewed in the stores just didn't appear to have the quality I felt I was seeing on the Blue Nile site. I made the plunge bought the 3/4 tcw diamond earrings and my girlfriend loved them. She's worn them for 1 week straight. The sparkle is great and the size is perfect - big enough to be noticed without being too showy. Very happy with the purchase.

Larry Fedora and the North Carolina Tar Heels have reportedly reached an agreement for the current Southern Miss Golden Eagles head coach to take the same position with the Tar Heels. Fedora has been linked with the job several times in the past few days, but it seems that a deal is now all but official.
Fedora reached an agreement in principle with the Tar Heels to be next head coach, according to a tweet from the always excellent Bruce Feldman. Feldman reports that his source told him the deal was agreed to early Wednesday morning, meaning an announcement could be on its way shortly.
The Tar Heels job isn't an exceptional one, but as SB Nation's Bill Connelly notes, it's probably a step up from the head job at Southern Miss.
Five-Year F/+ Avg: +7.3% (35th)
Five-Year Record: 35-28
All-Time Record: 602-470-48
Five-Year Attendance Average: 57,065 (Capacity: 60,000)
Fedora, who led Southern Miss to an 11-2 record this season, apparently was chosen over Gus Malzahn, Everett Withers and possibly Skip Holtz -- though the latter denied those rumors.

Believe it or not, the driver of this truck and his passenger only sustained minor injuries in an accident on Highway 49 Tuesday morning. It happened around 9:30am near Harrison Central High.
The Ford truck overturned, crushing the top of the cab. The Mississippi Highway Patrol said Daniel Wilson of Gulfport was headed south on 49 when he lost control of the truck, went into the median and overturned.
Officials are investigating witness accounts that a tire on the truck may have blown just before the accident. Wilson and his passenger were taken to Garden Park Medical Center where they were treated for minor injuries.

This incredible route climbs up the faint black streak to the left of Virga. Like most routes at the Thunderhead, the beginning is the business. A steep, strenuous start leads to a jug but no feet. Leaving the jug is a series of deadpoints between small, flat pockets where you could easily blow it. You'll get a decent rest with an awesome thread pocket before tackling the final sequential 5.12 headwall on beautiful stone.
This route is just to the left of Virga, or two to the right of In On The Killtaker. To access the start, climb the break in the chossy red stone below Stormchaser and traverse the ledge to the left to the start of Deluge.
7 bolts, open shut anchors. Stick-clip the first high bolt.

31-year-old Kevin Harper was indicted by the Dougherty Grand Jury today for statutory rape. Prosecutors say he had sex with a 12-year-old sixth grader, who was truant.
Dougherty District Attorney Greg Edwards said "She was supposed to be in school, but instead she was actually a victim. In many instances children wind up being victims or they wind up being perpetrators of crime, because they are not in school. So it all goes hand in hand."
The Student Attendance Protocol Committee, made up of all the county judges, law enforcement chiefs, D.A., school board members, and state Department of Health officials, agreed because of cases like this child's to crack down on truancy, before more kids become victims of crime.
Edwards said "We have some folks that we have tried the remedial effort, but we are going to go ahead and prosecute. And we are going to start doing that more frequently. We are going to be more aggressive."
Albany city ordinances require all kids ages 6 to 16 to attend school. So the D.A.'s office will use those laws to bring criminal charges against both students skipping school, and their parents.
Edwards said "Truancy leads to other problems. They lead to the crime in the streets that we have. They lead to things such as teen pregnancy. All of those kind of things flow hand in hand with truancy."
School officials have a list of habitual offenders that has been reported to the D.A. Office. And he is warning, even though it is late in the school year, law enforcement will be cracking down on their next skip day.

2.58/5 rDev -21.6%
Pours a ruddy golden strawberry blonde color, closer to the color of the bottle than the foil wrapper. I smell strawberry puree, and taste something akin to a strawberry jammy flavor mixed with a basic Belgian pale ale. Cloyingly sweet, effervescent, with a dry finish. I'm really not excited about this, and I still have two more bottles left.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle. Best by 2/24/11.
The beer pours a pinkish/orange/amber color with a white head. The aroma is exactly like the strawberry candy that comes wrapped in the red and green packages that look like strawberries. I don't get much funk or tartness at all in the aroma, just syrupy strawberry candy.
The flavor is strawberries with a light bit of funk. I don't get very much tartness at all. Not sure of the age of the beer, but it may have been drank too soon.
Medium mouthfeel and low carbonation.

A 330ml bottle with a BB of June 2013. Comes in a fancy paper wrapper. Picked up from a supermarket a while back and stored in my garage. The ingredients include 'flavourings' and artificial sweetner - not promising.
Poured into a Delirium chalice. A deep, hazy amber hue with a pinkish tinge. Good carbonation but tons of chunky sediment or coagulated protein floating around. Yields a decent head of creamy white foam that lasts for a few minutes before collapsing to a surface layer. Aroma of sweet, juicy strawberries with hints of earthy yeast. A faint stale note in the background. The strawberries do smell convincingly real.
Tastes of sweet strawberries with a dry finish. Notes of juicy strawberries, sugar/sweetener, earthy yeast, subtle acidity and a mild staleness in the background. The flavour possesses a faintly harsh, artificial quality that is hard to pin down. Dry, with no bitterness to speak of. Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and slightly acidic, with decent body and carbonation. A delicate astrigency, followed by an aftertaste of strawberries and dry, earthy yeast.
Hmmmm, so-so. Drinkable enough, and the sweetness allows it to go down easily, but it certainly isn't a quality lambic. The chunky sediment is rather vile. Smells nice, if one-dimensional, but the flavour has some vague off-notes that detract from the overall character. The body also has something that isn't quite right; a sort of dry viscosity that feels somehow artificial. An OK brew if you want something sweet and fruity, but falls far short of the true potential of lambic.

Cool various shades of pink from the liquid to the head, good retention. Straight up yummy aroma that is spot on strawberry.
Taste falters, all sweet, less fruit flavor, really didn't deliver on the strawberry flavor like it did the smell. No sourness. Or if there was, it was just dominated by the sweetness. Not good enough for a lambic. Light enough body, maybe wheat to it. Easy to drink, but I'd prefer to just smell this stuff as opposed to drink it.
$5 a bottle, can't recommend it. Unless you just like to smell beers.

Produced 26/01/11
(Served in a tulip glass)
A- This beer pours a queer reddish-brown body that is murky, and a pink hue to the lumpy white head that last a good bit.
S- The strawberry milkshake aroma has an odd macaroni and cheese smell, like powdered yeast vegans eat instead of cheese. There is also a bubble gum ester note that comes through when the beer warms.
T- The fake strawberry flavor taste just like freeze dried ice cream with a sweet finish and a candy sugar note in there also.
M- The medium mouthfeel has a gentle fizz with no alcohol heat or astringency.
O- The big candy flavor is all artificial strawberry and there is no malt or hops to challenge it. The carbonation helps to cut the sweetness a bit but it is not enough.

Pours a hazy pale orange/pink. Poured extremely hard and produced a 3 finger head.
Smell is tart and salty strawberries. More fruit in the nose than their other sours.
Taste is mostly sour and funk with some candied strawberry coming in hard in the end. Refreshing as are all the others.
Mouthfeel is just as their other beers. Good carbonation. Light but not watery.
One of their better sours. More fruit presence here.

11.2 oz. bottle (6/28/10) poured into a tulip glass.
Appearance-Pinkish-orange-red hue with just a touch of haze to it. Head is nearly white but has the faintest hint of pink tone to it. Decent head retention.
Aroma-Overly sweet-smells like strawberry fruit snacks mixed with stewed strawberries. No other character or point of complexity to be found. Overly candy-like.
Flavor-My initial impression here is strawberry fruit snacks again. The sweet strawberry character is overwhelming up front and rather one dimensional, but fades relatively quickly, at first to a light strawberry candy flavor, followed by nothing. Flavor also has slight cider characters to it.
Mouthfeel-Medium body with moderately low carbonation. A heavy sugary character lingers on the palate-not quite cloying, but it gets close.
As with the other Timmermans lambic that I tried (the framboise), it is overly sweetened-quite reminiscent of strawberry fruit snacks. Overall a bad representation of a fruit lambic with no wild or tart character-it is entirely one dimensional. Tasty, but I can get Welch's Strawberry soda for a fraction of the price.

On tap in a Timmermans flute like glass.
A - Pink as one would expect it to be. It looks somewhat like punch you'd expect to see at a prom just without the sherbert floating in it.
S - The smell is lightly of straberry but it's not strong. Not much else.
T - I didn't much like the taste. There is enough alchohol that the strawberry feels like it's trying to mask and overpower any taste that may come through. It reminded me of medicine. It wasn't terrible but I can't say I enjoyed it that much.
M - Light and high carbonation.
O - Lambics are not my usual thing so take it with a grain of salt but I don't think this is something I'd go for again.

Pours translucent pale red, with a white head. It smells like a strawberry pie. Taste is like strawberries but weaker then I was expecting, also less sweet which in some ways makes it have more in common with other beers compared with most lambics. The beer is also pretty smooth. Its a good beer to sip.

Served from tap into a Trappe Door tulip. Poured a golden yellow-orange with a three finger white head that subsided to one finger very slowly. Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, strawberry, cream, and earth. The flavor was of sweet malt, sugar, cream, strawberry, and fruit. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty decent brew. I had this one a little while back out of the bottle and really enjoyed it. However, the on draught version left something to be desired. There was more of an earthy note on the nose that was a little abrasive with all the other aspects going on here. The flavor was very light which made it easy to drink, but not the most enjoyable thing I drank this night. I would suggest this to a new craft beer drinker that was a fan of fruit, but for the refined Lambic drinker, I wouldn't bother with it on tap.

An anime DVD boxed set.
Regardless of how you feel about the Dragon Ball Z franchise, one thing that's certain is the dedication and attention to detail Funimation includes in their DVD box set releases of the show is without rival. Whether a long time fan of the property or a neophyte, the Dragon Ball Z Ninth Season box set packs an awful lot of material into its $29.95 MSRP.
What Funimation classifies as the ninth season of the long-running show is in fact the final installment (episodes 254- 291) spaced across 6 discs. With a total runtime of just over 900 minutes, clear a few weeks on your calendar to absorb the 38-episode run contained here.
Despite a fairly kid-friendly look and theme, the show wears a PG rating which presumably stems only from the show's penchant for silly violence (after all, this is an entire program based on the concept of interstellar fisticuffs).
Sound and language options are especially impressive even for a Funimation release (which are known for leaving no stone unturned). Contained are options for an English dialog track with original Japanese music (5.1 Surround), English dialog with the television broadcast music score (stereo), Japanese dialog with the original music (mono), and the choice of English subtitles over any of them.
Considering that the first episode of this set is actually the two hundred and fifty fourth episode of the show, it goes without saying that this probably isn't the best starting point for beginners looking to enter into the universe. Admittedly, I haven't followed the show steadily at any point of its historical run but found the ninth season to be pleasant enough to follow.
The major story arc (which includes the complete Fusion and Kid Buu sagas) follows a spree of terror conducted by a fleshy super villain alien called Majin Buu. The good guys, a rag tag group of scrappy warriors consisting of Goku, Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Gohan, Krillin, Chiaotzu, Vegeta, Trunks, Yamcha, Goten, and Gotenks (or the Z Fighters for short) are charged with the task of protecting not only the earth but the seven mystical Dragon Balls as well from this threat.
Now I don't pretend to be a diehard Dragon Ball Z fan (or a shonen series fan in general for that matter), but can certainly appreciate the excitement generated by fans and the attention to detail Funimation displays in the set. Not only are all of the episodes digitally remastered in high definition and digitally restored, but the fold out box set also includes a lovely 28-page book. Additionally the material has been transferred in wide screen directly from the original Japanese film stock and the English dialog has been revised as well.
Considering the fact that this particular season began broadcasting in Japan way back in 1993, the restoration process has been quite beneficial to the looks of the show's art as well. Colors are surprisingly rich and the animation, though slightly dated when compared to the best of today's computer generated efforts, still holds up surprisingly well.
Love or hate the often over-the-top antics of the characters within the show, there is little argument to the fact that the Dragon Ball Z franchise is credited with paving the way for the American/ Japanese anime pop culture explosion that would be soon to follow (think Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and more recently and specifically, shows like Naruto and Bleach).
The show builds to a very fitting crescendo and bids a fitting farewell to the series (excluding the Dragon Ball GT continuation which is, of course, not based on the original manga) with its unique blend of action, fantasy, humor, fighting, and mythological themes.
While sad that like all great things, the Dragon Ball Z saga came to an end, take comfort in the fact that Funimation has gone to great lengths to release the final season on DVD with all of the charming nuisances and attention to detail the show deserves.

Caldera Springs Travel Tips
Culture and Comfort: Caldera Springs Cottages
The common beaches, the dull amusements: vacations have become tributes to the ordinary. Travelers want perfection but receive only tedium; and new destinations must therefore be sought. Oregon is one such destination. This northwestern state offers the expected adventures, with volcanic remains to discover and alpine lakes to find. It's the cultural rewards that will impress most families, however -- and Caldera Springs cottages (located in Sunriver, a private community founded in 1969) allows them all to be explored.
Arts and Miles: Caldera Springs Vacation Homes
Distance is rarely kind. Holidays are defined by highway frustrations, the overwhelming traffic; and cultural experiences can seem unworthy of the time it takes to reach them. Caldera Springs vacation homes provide relief. These luxury rentals enable all families to seek the arts without having to endure long travels. They're tucked within Sunriver, sparing all the need for hotels, campgrounds or ineffective lodgings. They're close; they're convenient; and they offer modern style. It's success without compromise.
Experience Drama: Oregon
Caldera Springs cottages conjure thoughts of adventure, of white water thrills. While these can be found within Oregon, there is far more to discover; and culture can't be denied. Consider the Deschutes Historical Museum, which traces the development of Bend (the largest town of the county and located just beyond the resort). Visit the Museum at Warm Springs for Native American art, weaponry and interactive exhibits. Let the 2nd Street Theatre impress with its grand architecture and stirring performances. Indulge in symphony sounds at the Les Schwab Amphitheater. And journey from Sunriver vacation rentals to the CTC Cascades Theatrical Company, one of Oregon's most prestigious establishments. Art awaits.
Sunriver Excellence
Holidays aren't meant to be lost among the summer madness. They're instead to be filled with culture. Allow Caldera Springs vacation homes to provide you with access to more than the unexpected.

Players including Tom Varndell, James Haskell and Charlie Davies speak about the need to open up and talk about mental health, explaining that one in four people experience a mental health problem every year which means that we all know someone who is dealing with the issue right now.
James Haskell said: If we were injured on the pitch we'd get help immediately, see the doctor, get physiotherapy and take care of our bodies to make sure we were fit and ready to play again as soon as possible. But when it comes to mental health, many people are afraid to ask for the support they need - worried about what others will think and that's why this partnership between Wasps and Mind can really make a difference."
Paul Farmer, CEO of Mind said: Wasps' Coach the Coaches programme is an important step in raising awareness about mental health both at the club and with all Wasps fans, but also in the wider world of sport. We know it can be hard to ask for help when experiencing a mental health problem, and we hope the Wasps two-year partnership with Mind will inspire people to talk openly - starting now, this World Mental Health day.
Dr Doug Wright, medical director for Aviva, UK Health, comments; "We're delighted that London Wasps have teamed up with Mind to raise awareness of the importance of talking about mental health. Our recent research shows around a third of people feel the stigma associated with mental health has been reduced due to well-known people talking about it openly. If Wasps and the Aviva Premiership can take the lead in rugby, the more awareness there will be and the easier people will find it to seek the support they need."
Ahead of World Mental Health Day (October 10) London Wasps have also launched a "Coach the Coaches" programme in association with Mind whereby all of the Club's coaching and support staff will receive expert advice and guidance on how to look after the team's mental wellbeing.
The programme will see Mind experts conduct a workshop this season with Dai Young, his coaches and his support staff.
World Mental Health Day raises public awareness about mental health issues. The day promotes open discussion of mental disorders, and investments in prevention, promotion and treatment services. This year the theme for the day is "Depression: A Global Crisis".
