Microsoft Succeeds: ISO and IEC Dismiss OOXML Appeals
The technical boards of ISO and IEC have dismissed appeals by four of its members against adopting Microsoft's Office Open XML formats as an ISO/IEC International Standard.
"None of the appeals from Brazil, India, South Africa and Venezuela received the support for further processing of two-thirds of the members of the ISO Technical Management Board and IEC Standardization Management Board," the organization stated in a short press release.
The four national bodies used their right to protest against the controversial certification process, a unique occurrence in the history of the ISO. The formal protest was caused in part by the so-called Fast Track procedure, which dictated the format. Although the ISO vote was fiercely opposed and generated discussions echoed in the media, according to ISO guidelines, only the formal proceedings were allowed to be investigated. After a first look at the appeals, both the General Secretaries of ISO and IEC were reaching the unsurprising conclusion that proceedings had been carried out correctly and recommended the technical committees quash the appeals.
However, the response did not go completely unnoticed by the Standards Bodies, which described the protests as "important debate regarding technical and procedural issues" in a press release. "Experiences from the ISO/IEC 29500 process will provide important input to ISO and IEC and their respective national bodies and national committees in their efforts to continually improve standards development policies and procedures," they said.
For some of the disgruntled member states, this vague statement will not go far enough. On his blog, Jomar Silva, a member of the Brazilian committee, said, "As a Brazilian and as a person who lost a year of life working seriously on it, I can only feel offended and attacked with this decision." His suspicions are that the opposing countries have been treated second in line and he calls for action, saying, "I believe that the time has come for developing countries unite to build an International Standardization Institution that is appropriate to our reality, that understands our problems and aspirations and that treat us with the minimum amount of respect and dignity."
Four months after the decision, the ISO Certification – number ISO/IEC DIS 29500 – will be launched in the next few weeks, according to the ISO. Meanwhile, Microsoft has pledged support for the free Open Document Format (ODF), which has been certified as Standard since 2006.

My Mango Picking TeamWhen I eat mangoes I like them ripe, soft and juicy, where the flesh is yellow and more sugary than sugar. That is usually how they sell them in grocery stores. Unfortunately for me, that is not how the denizens of this house like them. No, they want them green, hard and tart.
Of all the people here, the primary mango picker of the house is my 12 year old, Jen-Jen. During the production period of my two particular trees—one an apple mango, the other an Indian mango—she'll come and ask every couple of days or so for permission to pick a dozen or so. I always tell her, "Okay, go ahead. Just be careful."
I used to ask her and the others to please let a few ripen up for me, but I don't bother any more. They really seem to relish them green. I don't get it. I guess they're okay with salt; but to me, certainly not something to relish. I mean, I would only eat them like that if I had to, and so far, I've never had to. Why would I? I tried it a couple times like that but it just doesn't suit my taste buds. I always ask them why would you want to eat sour mangoes when you can eat them sweet. Oh well, it's what they like.
Watching the two of them work together to manipulate the long bamboo mango picker you have to admire Jen and Jon's enthusiasm. Jen, being the stronger of the two, handles the picker; while her eleven year old cousin, Jon, acts as spotter, telling her which way to maneuver the basket end, with its leading edge shaped to strip the mangoes from the tree.
Of course, like many of the useful items in and around the house, my brother-in-law, Eddie, fabricated our two bamboo mango pickers as well. One is long and the other is REAL long. As the low hanging fruit become scarce, and then nonexistent, we find that only the REAL long picker will work to get the fruit that are left high and away.
The other day, enjoying the reduced heat of late afternoon, I puttered around a bit in the yard while taking in the sight and sounds of my mango picking "team" high in the trees above. It occurred to me to go in and grab the cam and take a video of the dynamic duo doing their thing more than 30 feet up in the air.
Without the tower we'd never be able to reach most of the mangoes; although I'd probably finally be able to have a ripe one or two for once. The tower's stairs and platforms, along with the catwalks between the trees, allows us to reach all but a few of the much sought after fruit.
Aside from the facilitation of mango picking though, I enjoy the tower as a stationary getaway vehicle. In a matter of just a few seconds I'm in an entirely different world of rustling leaves and cooling breezes. Just being way up there in the trees, hidden from the world by the thick sheltering foliage while spying out on that same world through a screen of green, usually while sipping thoughtfully from a morning or evening coffee, or afternoon iced tea, makes life here not just bearable, but positively enjoyable and relaxing.

Lake water quality
Review submitted: December 19, 2012 Date of arrival: December 19, 2012
I haven't actually stayed at the cottages but I wanted to add my comment to that of the Pheasant Cottage property owner. In the early 1970s, I owned the original 75 acre parcel that includes Serenity Lake. We had a cabin on the property and spent several weeks there each year. I had cleared seven acres around the lake with a riding mower and a hand axe and it was like living in the middle of a beautiful park.
The reddish-brown water color is present in all the water in that area of Wisconsin; lakes, rivers and wells. In fact, it is why the Black River got its name. The color is due to fairly high levels of iron dissolved in the water.
Before we purchased the property, we had a water sample tested and it was determined to be almost 100% pure. My whole family, including my three children, swam in the lake daily. Once you get used to the color, you realize that there is nothing wrong with the water at all.
Judging from the photos and descriptions of the Pheasant Cottage resort, it is apparent that the current owners have made many improvements and the property seems very nice and relaxing. Some day I hope to pay a visit to the old place. It will be fun to see how much it has changed.

Eagle's Nest & Bear's Den a Dream!
Review submitted: August 8, 2010 Date of arrival: August 1, 2010
My entire family (24 of us!) rented both Eagle's Nest & Bear's Den for the entire week. We were wonderfully surprised with all the amenities and overall quality. The scenery was beautiful, wildlife was everywhere, and it was the perfect mix of camping and comfort. It was the perfect place for fishing, canoeing, swimming, relaxing and just enjoying eachothers company. The location was perfect and we enjoyed how private and secluded the cabin/houses were. The owners were great to work with and made check-in and check-out easy not to mention they checked in throughout the week to make sure we had all we needed. There are not many things my entire family can agree on and be pleased with but Cottages at Serenity Lake did just that!

Eagles Nest Cottage
Review submitted: August 3, 2010 Date of arrival: July 22, 2010
My group of 10 women arrived for a long w/e at Serenity cottages. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the whole experience. Brian came and explained the lake to us, it is different than we are used to and made sure we were comforatble. The cabin had all the dishes, pots and pans ect needed for a stay. We went for firewood and got a nice discount on oak firewood for the campfires as promised by Brian. The beds were very comfortable with clean linen and enough towels for all of us. Of course when you have 10 women you need to use more paper products and it was provided the same day as we asked for it. Washer, dryer and dishwasher worked beautifully. We got pretty loud at times but had no complaints. The cottages are far enough apart that you don't think there is anyone else around. Our stay was peaceful and pleasant, we saw eagles, a sandhill crane landed in our yard(that was magnificent), woodpeckers and 2 different families of ducks. The ducks came up morning and night looking for a handout.
Some of us used the hot tub and found that to be refreshing even in the hot humid weather we experienced. We had clouds and some rain but all in all it was a terrific w/e. Some of us loved the gated community setting and felt very safe. We spent a lot of time on the deck, at the firepit and in the hot tub.
Thanks Brian and Anna for the beautiful setting.

lake water
Review submitted: July 27, 2010 Date of arrival: July 22, 2010
big disappointment with the condition of the lake. not one of us in the group would swim in it. the setting is perfect and quite beautiful. the cottage itself was full of cobwebs and spiders and the vents and ceiling fans were covered in thick dust, indicating poor cleaning. But we did enjoy our stay and made the best of it. if you love to swim you may not want to stay here. if you are only going for relaxation, and nature walks i highly recomend it. The cabins have all the amenitites one could ask for.

Owners response:
Serenity Lake is primarily spring-fed and cleaner than most lakes in the state of Wisconsin. The stain color is in most large-bodied waters in the area (i.e. Lake Arbutus, Halls Creek, Black River). There is also a sediment that sits on the naturally sandy bottom that is simply pine needles & leaves in the process of decomposition. If you are playing where there is sediment and you get some on you, you can simply rinse it off with the lake water as you would mud or dirt.
I contacted the host after receiving this review. She stated that the group had a great time and that at least most of the group did not come to swim and that the weather wasn't favorable while they were here. She stated that the reviewer had questioned the lake and that we had explained it to them, as well as one of her own group had pointed out literature explaining it. As far as the cottage cleanliness' went, the host stated that, though there were cobwebs in some of the corners, the cottage was fine and the sensitive areas such as the bathrooms and kitchen, dishes, etc. were very clean! The host also observed other clients swimming in the lake during her stay. She stated the group had a great time while they were here and this reviewer's opinion was an individual opinion, not the groups'.
In response to the cleanliness', we have clients coming in the same day other clients check-out so we do our best to prepare for the in-coming clients. We do thorough spring and fall cleaning when there is time to do so and address other issues when it is brought to our attention. Unfortunately, this was brought to our attention through a review instead of simply pointing it out to us. Since we do not stay in the cottages, client imput is very important.
As far as the swimming goes, we have clients swimming in the lake all summer and, as mentioned above, the lake is cleaner than most lakes. We respect the reviewer's decision to choose not to swim and her opinion regarding her stay but are disappointed that she felt she had to make it into a review instead of simply letting us know.

Women rowers get first taste of competition
The Jacksonville University women's rowing team got its first taste of competition during the weekend as it entered a pair of boats in the First Coast Head race.
JU entered the boats in the Championship 8 final and JU A boat, with Jordan Heylock, Emily Close, Whitney Mathews, Allison Sobiech, Jordyn Clery, Joanna Zachowski, Mary Mosier, Cassie MacLellan and Abby Sierigk aboard, navigated the 5-kilometer (3.1-mile) course in a time of 17:22.25 and net time of 18:22.25.
The JU B boat (Savannah Rice, Rebecca Clark, Kelsey Carl, Kelly Cleveland, Kayla Cole, Serena Summerifeld, Jessica Desiderio, Christie Charlebois and April Beck) clocked of 20:07.62.
Coach Kris Muhl was pleased with the effort the teams gave.
"The racing went well,'' he said. "Both boats set the bar high with some solid racing and we will only get stronger and row better each time we get on the water.''
Muhl particularly liked the teams' focus.
"Seeing how they came back to the boathouse after racing, it was clear they were still engaged and focusing on technique and strength.''
He has his sights set on the Head of the Hooch race on Nov. 5 in Chattanooga, TN.
"The Head of the Hooch will have some large teams to match up against,'' he said. "It has been a long time since we have had enough novices through the NCAA Eligibility Center to take to the Hooch.''
The team will play host to the annual Alumni Race Saturday at the Negaard Rowing Center at 8 a.m.

An unsecured path: Unworkable immigration 'reform'
The Senate plan grants provisional legal status to illegals, who would have to pay back taxes and a penalty and pass a criminal background check. They could attain a green card only after certain enforcement provisions, such as implementing a tracking system for people who enter the country on temporary visas and requiring the use of E-Verify by employers, are complete.
President Obama offered similar carrots and sticks in a similar order. The senators and the President must take all of us for fools. There is no way that meaningful border enforcement will come from either of these proposals. That is because neither offers it. "It" is a border fence.
Last week an illegal immigrant was arrested in Raleigh, N.C., for DWI. He had been deported in 2008. And 2009. And 2011. Without a fence, deportation means nothing. Without the threat of meaningful deportation, the incentives to stay on the "path to citizenship" have no bite. Why bother completing the path once you have legal status? As columnist Charles Krauthammer has pointed out, once granted, "provisional" legal status will never be revoked.
Give us real border security first. Everything else comes afterward.

Apparently, the Ryan-Dempster-to-the-Braves deal was supposed to happen Monday. At least, that's what these Jerry Crasnick tweets suggest:
Sources say Ryan Dempster had given preliminary indications that he would accept a trade to the #braves from #cubs
— Jerry Crasnick (@jcrasnick) July 24, 2012
But when trade leaked out in media Monday before #cubs informed him, Dempster was not happy. Felt blindsided, said a source.
— Jerry Crasnick (@jcrasnick) July 24, 2012
Well, I suppose you can understand that a player would want to actually officially sign off on a deal he has the right (via 10/5 rights) to veto or approve, before he hears about it from a zillion tweets.
Cubs manager Dale Sveum wasn't happy about this either:
Dempster, manager Dale Sveum and assistant GM Randy Bush all denied the deal, which was originally confirmed by the Braves' website and repeated on several other outlets.
"We all know it didn't happen," Sveum said. "Why it ever got out there, something that big on a player … and for somebody to report it happened, it's very unprofessional to do anything like that in that kind of situation."
Since the proverbial cat's out of the bag, this deal is likely going to get done. Dempster is scheduled to start against the Pirates Wednesday afternoon in Pittsburgh, so something could well happen Tuesday.

5 things I'd eat before Judgment Day on May 21
As we know, some people believe the end of the world will take place on May 21st. Commonly known in the Christian community as "The Rapture," this is when God is supposed to come down to earth and send the good people up to the pearly gates and the bad people to the fiery pits.
If my soul is truly going to be judged that day, I want to at least be sure that my body is glutted with enough preservative toxins to last through the whole thing. Plus, if I'm going to hell, I might as begin enjoying one of the seven deadly sins now. Here's the top ten devilish things I'd eat:
1. General Tso's Chicken — A commonplace choice you say? At 844 calories and 40 grams of fat per serving, I think this one easily clears the bar terrible nutrition. And I could basically drink that spicy sauce if you let me. Since it will be the apocalypse, I probably will.
2. Funny Bones, Twinkies, Donettes and Yodels — Oh yeah, I'd even make one cake out of all of these stuck together and eat it all at once.
3. A delivery pizza that comes with breadsticks and dessert sticks that are all made out of the same dough, but with varying sauces —I always admired the resourcefulness of Domino's and other pizza franchises when it came to this. Wow, three dishes for $7.99? How do they do it? Bread, bread and bread.
4. Every Pepperidge Farm product ever made — Milanos? Goldfish? Sausalitos cookies? And woah, these new babies. There's not a speck of anything besides complex carbs in the Pepperidge Farm (unless you want to count the nuts on the Geneva cookies as your source of protein).
5. Buffalo Anything – Jerky, wings, Subway sandwiches, mozzarella (even though that might be a tad too healthy for my taste. All that heat will give me a nice preview of the fiery gates of hell!

School of Earth an Climate Sciences members Ed Grew and Marty Yates are part of a collaborative team that recently was awarded funding from the Carnegie Institute of Washington for a project entitled Isua Tourmaline: A window to Boron Concentrations in the Eoarchean?
Grew is leading the project, which follows up on recent work in collaboration with Robert Hazen of the Carnegie Institute of Washington.
A more complete description of the work is at http://umaine.edu/news/blog/2013/06/24/in-the-beginning/; a summary of the project follows:
Scientists have proposed that boron played an essential role in the stabilization of prebiotic organic compounds critical to the formation of life on the early Earth 4 billion years ago. Their proposal assumes that boron concentrations in the Earth's oceans and crust 4 billion years ago were comparable to concentrations today, but this assumption remains to be demonstrated. The objective of the research, which is funded by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, is to estimate what boron concentrations might have been so early in Earth history. Collaborators Edward Grew (University of Maine), Martin Yates (University of Maine), Robert Dymek (Washington University in Saint Louis), Simon Harley (University of Edinburgh, Scotland) and Robert Hazen (Carnegie Institution of Washington) will analyze tourmaline from the Isua complex (West Greenland), the oldest tourmaline reported (3.7-3.8 billion years) for the two isotopes of boron, which would give the boron isotope composition of the ocean 3.7-3.8 billion years ago, not long after the critical period in the origin of life. Using a model developed by French geochemists relating sea-water boron isotope composition to the proportion of boron extracted from Earth's mantle into the oceans and crust, we will try to determine whether concentrations of boron present on the early Earth were sufficient to play a critical role in the origin of life.

The Miss Montana USA Pageant was this weekend and ladies from all over the Treasure State converged on Missoula to compete for the crown. While these events can often come with stereotypes attached, these young women were here to show off their confidence, poise, health and intelligence.
Hundreds of supporters showed up to support their favorite contestants, complete with loud cheers and colorful signs. With the house packed, the pageant was ready to go.
The entire competition is broken down into a series of judged events. To start off, the ladies introduced themselves and participated in a group dance number, and then it was down to business. Healthy bodies were on display during the swimsuit portion while elegance and poise were key during evening gown. Intelligence and quick wit became crucial during the interview.
The hardest part of the whole night were the cuts. Only so many young women can make it to the next round, so some contestants were filled with joy while other fought to hold in the disappointment.
At the end of the night, two winners were chosen from the Miss and Teen groups and they could barely contain their excitement.
It's not over for our winners. They have a year reigning as champion while also representing our state at the national level.
While most people see what happens on stage for a pageant, we have an exclusive behind the scenes look for you tomorrow night, so you won't want to miss it.

In late January, Russian television showed "The Fall of an Empire: The Lessons of Byzantium," a film by Archimandrite Tikhon Shevkunov. The film has sparked a controversy in Russia about the role that the West played in the collapse of the Byzantine Empire, whether modern Russia faces similar dangers, and whether the Russian Orthodox Church could help prevent a similar collapse. The Moscow Times published two opposing views on the documentary today. Mark Urnov, dean of the political science department at the Higher School of Economics, had this to say: This is not a historical film but a mythological one. It appeals to a myth deeply rooted in the consciousness of many Russians -- one that combines the bold ideas of Moscow as a "Third Rome," the greatness of the 18th- and 19th-century Russian Empire and the Communist fairy tale of a flourishing Soviet superpower that was destroyed by insidious and subversive liberals. The film uses the Byzantine model to advance another myth -- … [Read more...]

Tennessee Titans kick returner and wide receiver Marc Mariani will undergo surgery tonight to repair an open leg fracture suffered on a kick return Thursday night during the Titans' preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Though the recovery will be lengthy, no timetable has been set for Mariani's return, according to Schefter.
In 16 games in 2011, Mariani collected five receptions for 24 yards, but shined most as a returner for the Titans, gaining a Pro Bowl selection because of his exploits on returns. His 1,530 yards on returns in 2010 is a Oilers/Titans team record.
Mariani returned all of the Titans kickoffs and all but one of the Titans' punt returns in 2011.
Mariani, who was entering his third year in the league, also recorded three tackles in 2011. The injury likely opens up another roster spot for a special teams player.

Ok let me start by saying that this is an unusual thing for me to do, but two days ago I found out that we were having a girl. At this time my request if at all possible would be to enlist the help of all the ladies out there in this forum. I personally would like to request the help with attaining a girls name which is rare, unique, beautiful, French and with a joyous expression to speak a million times over.

Newbury — Robert M. Abbott, 62, died suddenly at home on July 14 with his loving family at his side.
He was born in Haverhill on January 23, 1951, and spent the rest of his life on his beloved Plum Island. He was the son of the late Robert and Louise (Barrett) Abbott. Bob graduated from Newburyport High School in 1970. He owned and operated Abbott Construction. Besides his family, his great love was Plum Island life.

Welcome to High and Dry Bluegrass Festival Website
Everyone that attended and participated in this years 2014 High and Dry Festival deserves a heartfelt "
Thank You
" without you this would not have been one of the best Bluegrass weekends of the year. High and Dry Bluegrass Festival is supported in part by local businesses and interested citizens who share
to assure that this American classic music is available to todays generation and to future generations.
Special Announcement!!!
The 2014 Band Lineup and Schedule is Posted
High & Dry Bluegrass Festival Overview
The festival is held on the 3rd weekend of August every year. Its on a 40-acre farm east of Bend, about 6 miles from downtown. The farm is on the east side of the Bend Airport -- not to be confused with the Redmond Airport. The price of admission for the weekend is $15 per person. Camping is $10 per vehicle for the weekend. RV dry-camping and tent camping are available.
We dont sell advanced tickets. You just show up at the entrance gate and pay for your admission and camping fee. Children 12 years and under are free. We put a wrist band on your wrist that you wear for the weekend. This allows you to go and come as you please all weekend.
You will need to bring your own lawn chairs for the band performances. The main stage is a deck with a pond as a backdrop. We put up shades over the audience area to filter the sunlight.
There is a small stage next to the main stage that we call the tweener stage. On the tweener stage, between main stage performances, groups will perform for 15 minutes while the main stage sound equipment is being made ready for the next main stage performance. This entertains the audience while waiting for the next main stage act and gives these newer groups an opportunity to gain experience playing before a live audience.
We have food venders that serve food from lunch through dinner (BBQ, Mexican, vegan Ice cream, coffee, etc ) On Sunday morning you can sing for a free breakfast in the gazebo by the main stage (great breakfast - ham and eggs etc ).
On Saturday morning we have workshops for several levels of playing skills -- for guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, bass, harmonica, harmony and maybe ukulele. All workshops teach techniques using the same bluegrass song. When the workshops are done, participants of all the workshops gather at the main stage, form a mega-band, and perform the workshop song for the audience. Great fun!
There are workshops for kids too. A group known as Chicks Kids will be there doing instrument workshops for kids. Kids who attend these workshops will perform on the tweener stage on Sunday.
Great jamming in camping areas all day, all night and all weekend.
The main mission of High & Dry is to provide a low cost acoustic music festival that is affordable for young families to come with their children, have a fun family weekend and expose the children to acoustic music and hopefully get them hook on the music and keep it going for future generations. It also provides good fun for all comers - children or no.

Newton Square Mall + Modern Bingo Centre
Boardwalk Gaming, a member of the Surrey business community for 18 years and the owner/operator of Bingo Country on King George Highway, has recently submitted and presented a land use redevelopment proposal to the City of Surrey. Boardwalk has proposed to redevelop Newton Square Mall to include an upgrade of the current Bingo Country to a Modern Bingo Centre, which is a facility that retains bingo as its marquee game and adds a variety of additional entertainment options including slot machines. Unlike casinos, Modern Bingo Centres do not have table games and are limited to a maximum of 150 slot machines. They include food and beverage facilities and live entertainment. This proposal includes increased site safety and security measures which has been reviewed and supported by the RCMP. The City of Surrey would receive approximately 10% of slot machine revenue to use within the municipality by hosting the Modern Bingo Centre. Local charities and community groups, such as the Surrey Hospice Society, the Surrey Community Crime Prevention Society, Parent Advisory Councils, and youth sports organizations would continue to benefit from the revenues generated through activities at the Bingo centre. In the 2006/2007 fiscal year, the Provincial Government provided $9.4 million to 292 community organizations in Surrey. We, the undersigned, support Boardwalk Gaming in its plans to upgrade Bingo Country and Newton Square Mall.

Pours a deep brown to black in color with an off white-ish head. In the aroma, light pilsner like, with a note of roast. In the taste, a small smoke presence, roasty, and a dryer malt. A small bite, but mainly smooth, with a lighter bodied mouthfeel, and a small dry and smokey lager like aftertaste. Lager with a smokey roast, I can dig it!

Schwarz Pils
Pours a clear dark brown. Off white head with good lacing. Smells of roasted malts and somewhat biscuity. Aptly named, this schwarzbier/pilsner hybrid has an airy lightness to the body. That being said, Schwarz Pils shares more in common with its darker hued brethren. Roasted malt gives off a coffee like flavor here with grassy hops balancing. On the light side of medium bodied and well carbonated. Overall, this was a nice beer to pair with a spicy kielbasa, sausage, roasted red pepper, cheese and egg sandwich.

A: The beer is slightly hazy amber in color and has a slight amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high beige head that took a very long time to dissipate into lacing covering the surface.
S: There are moderate aromas of floral and grassy hops in the nose.
T: The taste has a moderate to strong amount of bitterness from the hops; some hints of spices are noticeable in the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a light amount of carbonation. There is some dryness in the finish.
O: The amber color of this beer is very deceptive because it tastes like a strong pilsner. It's not too difficult to drink if you can handle the bitterness.

4.53/5 rDev +18.9%
Sampled on-tap multiple times at Brewvival.
Pours a dark brown color with a half-finger slightly off-white head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of light pilsner malts with large amounts of grassy and light citrus hops. Also present are very light amounts of darker black malts.
Tastes very similar to how it smells. Crisp pilsner malt flavors kick things off and are joined almost immediately by robust light citrus hops - lemon peel with hints of grapefruit and orange. Midway through the sip the hops dry out with the addition of grassy and lightly herbal flavors. Very light hints of dark malt flavors come into play before fading into a crisp and moderately bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with decent carbonation.
Drinkability is great. I finished my glass very quickly and could easily drink a lot more of these.
Overall the addition of dark malts didn't affect the flavor profile as much as I'd expected and it was closer to the always-phenomenal Prima Pils. Worth a shot for curiosity's sake if you see it around.

a: This was a dark for the style amber color. It was served to me with a one inch, sticky white cap.
s: Some German hop notes and a not unexpected given the name but still hard to comprehend spicy, roasty malt aroma.
t: I always like to try something new and different, but this kind of clashed for me. The dark roasty semi-sweetness just didn't jibe with the German hop finish.
m: Crisp and pretty spot on for a pils.
d: Not bad, but not for me.

3.88/5 rDev +1.8%
On-tap at Victory for b-day.
Odd amber color for a pils. Decent white heading that holds for about 3/4 quarter's until the finish.
Smell is mostly german hops. Slightly grassy notes and a nice toasty malt backing.
Taste is very balanced. Heavier toasted malts that follow up with spicey,and grassy hop kick. Earthy and medicinal finish.
Mouth is nice lighter bodied but pushing towards the middle range.Subtle syrupy stickiness is left on the palate.
A very drinkable pilsener and more for the lighter malty taster's of the world.Very solid.

On tap at the brewery. Nose is bright grassy hops, almost lemony. Darker and with a touch more roast, perhaps, than the Braumeister or Prima. Grains, and a good dose of sweeping hops in the mouth. Sharp and minerally. A bit more robust than their standard pilseners. Pretty tight and crisp though not as refined as some of the greatest ones. Surprisingly grassy. Good stuff

3.98/5 rDev +4.5%
A: Pours an amber transparent color with a thin frothy white cap. This beer is supposed to be a hybrid of sorts, so the color is not meant to be "to-style"
S: Lots of German yeast notes, grain, wheat, a urinal-cake phenolic-like note, and light earthy hops that make it floral. Not terribly complex, but very inviting
T: The hops give a solid bitterness, grainy, earthy, wheaty, and very smooth. Everything works well together, including the yeast. Not necessarily to-style, but very good
MF/D: Smooth feel to it despite the kind of prickly carbonation, the finish is of light grain and wheat. Body is lighter

I had this ontap at Victory Brewery and Restaurant in Dowingtown, Pa. It came in a pilsner glass.
A: The body is a deep brown clear color. The head is 2 fingers tall, very light tan color, great retention, medium sized bubbles and awesome sticky lacing.
S: The aromas are spargy, maybe some BBQ and earthy hops.
T: The flavors are pine resine, earth tones and toffee/espresso.
M: The mouthfeel is dry and thin.
D: This beer is fairly drinkable.
Don't drink and review.

This beer is a beaut. Poured a very dark brown, almost the black that is advertised.
I have to agree it smells like gym socks, but in a good way.
Smell was hoppy and bitter smoke.
Great frothy head with slight lacing
Slightly yeasty, with the pilsner hop aftertaste. Bitter and hoppy with some 'graininess'. I've never had the style before but I think it may be my new favorite. At least it is my new favorite Victory!!

3.98/5 rDev +4.5%
(From notes)
A - Orangey golden brown color; with a generous frothy slightly off-white head; no real lacing, but OK retention
S - Hoppy; sweaty gym socks and musty; kinda weird here; light maltiness
T - Great hoppiness; slightly earthy; bigger malt than some others in the style. Nice stuff here
M - Lighter to medium body; good spritzy carbonation
D - Really darn good considering the flavors as well as the refreshing and dry finish.
Overall, this was very enjoyable once you get past some of the funky aromas and odd juxtaposition of color. Definitely worth a try.

Wednesday 16 November 2011
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admitted the 6-1 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City was the "worst result" in his prestigious managerial career.
City ripped United apart at Old Trafford on Sunday to move five points clear of their rivals at the top of the Barclays Premier League courtesy of two-goal hauls from Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko and further strikes from Sergio Aguero and David Silva.
It was United's biggest derby defeat since 1926 and the first time they have lost at home in the league in 18 months, ending a run of 19 successive Barclays Premier League victories at home.
"It was our worst ever day," said Ferguson, who has been United manager since November 1986. "It's the worst result in my history, ever. Even as a player I don't think I ever lost 6-1. That's a challenge for me, too.
"I cannot believe the scoreline. The first goal was a blow for sure but it was retrievable at 1-0. When Jonny Evans was sent off just after half-time that was a killer for us. We kept attacking when we went 4-1 down and we should have just said 'We've had our day'."
Balotelli opened the scoring before Evans was sent off for a professional foul on the Italian who doubled the lead before Aguero made it 3-0. Darren Fletcher pulled one back for United before Dzeko's brace - either side of Silva's effort - completed the rout late on.
Ferguson added: "We just kept attacking, it was crazy football. Our full-backs were playing as wingers and they were attacking three versus two half the time.
"I thought with the experience we've got, people like Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra, they would have closed ranks and accepted it, but we just kept attacking. Sometimes there has to be common sense about it. It was a bad day."

Remember Me
FORT JENNINGS — It was a tale of two halves between Jefferson and Cory-Rawson on a brilliant but chilly Monday afternoon/evening at Keith Hamel Memorial Field in Fort Jennings.The visiting Lady Hornets won the first and the Lady Wildcats the second.When the 80 minutes was over, the teams had fought to a 1-1 draw.Five Jefferson seniors played their final home matches: Courtney Van Schoyck, Jenna Moreo, Rachel Miller, Corrine Metzger and goalkeeper Paige Miller. "This was our third match in five days and I think we didn't have a lot of energy the first half," Jefferson coach Josiah Stober explained. "We only have the three subs off the bench but we get stretched when we have a stretch like this. Our seniors have really played well this year for me. We've come a long way since the start."The Lady Hornets (3-10-1) had 10 shots, eight on-goal (11 for the match), in the first half.They took advantage of the tired Jeffcats to possess the orb more.
Sophomore Kylee Haehn had two attempts stopped by C-R netminder Natasha Shields (7 saves): at 30:49 and 20:31.Hornets had chances but either Paige Miller (7 total stops) was up to the ask or the Hornets' aim was off the mark.The visitors had a great opening at 25:58 when Miller had come out to gather up a ball and fell down; when she couldn't get back in time, Shiann Ludwig had an open goal from eight yards but it was wide left.Miller denied Rebecca Schutz from the right post on a deflection.However, the Hornets scored at the 23:56 mark when junior Mallory Hiser finished off a flurry in front of the goal — at least two other legitimate attempts were either deflected by the keeper or other defenders — as she went inside the right post from six yards.At 15:37, Moreo tried from 15 yards but it was denied by a defender.At the 6-minute mark, Schutz had a great chance in front of the net but her 8-yarder was denied by Metzger.The second half, especially early on, was all Red and White. The Lady Wildcats (5-8-2), who only had three shots on-goal the first half but 10 the second, dominated the second 40 minutes.Shields was under the gun as it seemed the Hornets could never get the ball outside of its defensive end.She stopped three shots in the first 3:17: by sophomore Bailey Miller (38:40); freshman Logan Hamilton (38:01): and Haehn (36:43) on a diving stab.However, she could not deny the next one. Far out on the right side, Hamilton crossed inside to Haehn on the post; her 1-toucher from nine yards got past the keeper and tied it at 1.The Wildcats had more chances in the second half but couldn't put them in the back of the net, either via saves by the keeper or defenders deflecting shots away.The best hope came at 12:14, when Haehn stole a ball and launched a high, hard 18-yarder that hit off the crossbar and then off the keeper; she had the wherewithal to gather in the orb.Rawson's best chances to win the match came at 27:57, when a goal by Hannah Roebke was denied due to offsides; and at 5:24, when Roebke hit the outside of the right post from 17 yards."We've played a lot of 1-goal matches this year but haven't won too many. We have rarely led," Cory-Rawson coach Jay Frommer said. "We played state power Archbold Saturday and only trailed 1-0 at the half before losing 3-0. We just couldn't maintain our effort from the first half, where we played very well. We almost got the match-winner later in the second half."The Hornets host Van Buren 5 p.m. today."The girls just had a lot more energy the second half, a lot more intensity. Cory played pretty physical the first half and we didn't match it," Stober added. "We did match it the second half and we played with more intensity. I felt we had some great chances to put more shots in the net; that is the next stage of our development overall because everything else is coming along."Jefferson visits Allen East 5 p.m. Thursday.

Placer County's new Tahoe City Transit Center was honored this month with a prestigious 2013 Small Project Award from the American Institute of Architects.
The AIA announced this year's 10 award winners recently in an online edition of its magazine, Architect.
"This is timeless design, executed with materials and a construction approach that rightfully suggests permanence and longevity," the panel said.
Public Works oversaw development of the project and now manages the transit center. It was designed by WRNS Studio and constructed by Gilbane Construction.
"Being recognized by the American Institute of Architects is a tremendous honor for our entire project team," said 5th District Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery. "The judges clearly recognized that the transit center complements the scenic beauty of Lake Tahoe and its shoreline."
She noted the new center serves as a transportation hub for bus riders, bicyclists, pedestrians, park-and-ride commuters and shuttle-services users. It also will help reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality, which in turn will benefit the lake's clarity.
"A lot of people contributed to the success of this project, and deserve credit for the recognition it is receiving," Public Works Director Ken Grehm said. "I particularly want to thank my team at Public Works, WRNS Studio and Gilbane Construction for their hard work and commitment to giving North Lake Tahoe a state-of-the-art transit center that is in harmony with its surroundings."
The center opened last October. It is located at 165 West Lake Blvd. in Tahoe City just off of Highway 89 south of the "Y."
The AIA's Small Project Awards honor the best small-scale or low-budget projects across the nation. The 10 winners of the 2013 awards were announced as part of the institute's celebration of National Architecture Week.
The AIA award was the second honor received by the transit center this year. Recently, the project was named the Overall Winner of the 2012 Western Red Cedar Architectural Design Awards. The transit center uses two of the area's predominant materials: Sierra ledge stone and western red cedar.
