Town Square
Alma Plaza redux
Original post made by Not so fast on Apr 17, 2007
The city council actually voted in favor of the development of Alma Plaza:
Web Link
However once again we have evidence that nothing will appease certain people, who would hold up Alma Plaza for another 10+ years.
the developer increases the amount of retail at the plaza, in response to demands by neighbors and the planning commission--what response do we get--"it is inappropriate", "we were blindsided" "it stinks".
obvioulsy some people would prefer that now have another couple of years discussion on this matter.
Also note that our mayor voted against the development--I guess she would prefer that people drive to other shopping centers rather than having to walk to a neighborhood one--so much for climate change.

Wanna bet the lawyers make more money here than the developer?

So now we will have more housing in S PA. For those who say that our schools are not getting more and more overcrowded, here is an example of what we are talking about. This area of PA is already impacted and those whose kids attend Fairmeadow don't want it to grow - don't be surprised when the portables are rolling in.

Not so fast. I think you do our mayor an injustice. I feel confident she wanted a community
center, not a micro-mini strip mall. She was right. Others caved to the persistence of a
patient developer. She was for the neighborhood. What do think he was for????

Another lackluster commission meeting ahead on Monday
- 4:26 pm Friday, April 15th, 2011 by Andrew Abramson
If you're debating whether to attend Monday's commission meeting, be warned that it's as lackluster as the previous commission meeting.
There are 18 agenda items scheduled for Monday, and all of them have been relegated to consent, meaning the items will be passed without discussion. Similarly, all the items on the agenda at Jeri Muoio's first commission meeting as mayor were also passed on consent.
On Monday, the commission will formally approve the state's agreement with the city to launch water activities at the waterfront. Also, the city will vote to reaffirm the civility code at commission meetings. It's a statewide initiative launched by the League of Cities to promote calmer meetings. Last year, a Panama City man fired shots and then killed himself during a school board meeting.

Wordpress: Escape a shortcode within a shortcode
I'm trying to write documentation for a wordpress theme but when I put a the same shortcode nested within it it parses it, even though it's within a shortcode which doesn't run the shortcode parser on its contents.
What I have is a shortcode called one_half, with a block enclosed with the same shortcode, like this:
[one_half] ....Code:
I've tried various different methods of escaping such as adding extra [ and ], using HTML entities (which are lost when switching between editor modes.
Any ideas?

NILES - More than 40 steelworkers at Phillips Manufacturing walked off the job Thursday, striking over what they say are unfair wages, benefits and working conditions.
The members of United Steelworkers Local 4564-02 began their strike at 11:40 a.m. Thursday, when workers shut down their machines for a scheduled lunch period, walked out of the plant and began their pickets at 504 Walnut St.
Workers have remained on the job since Aug. 9 when their previous contract expired. During that time, the sides have met 15 times, but major disputes remain in seniority issues and health insurance language, along with wages, said Dennis Brubaker, staff representative with the United Steelworkers, who was involved in the talks.
''We took a vote Tuesday. We've made it known that we would strike at will because we didn't have an extension (to the contract),'' Brubaker said.
Phillips Director of Human Resources Brad Garlock declined to comment on the specifics of the negotiations but did release a brief statement expressing the company's disappointment.
"Phillips Manufacturing is disappointed the USW has opted to take our employees on strike. However, we do respect that right. We remain positive and look forward to continuing to work with the USW on a new collective bargaining agreement that is satisfactory for all," Garlock said.
Brubaker noted that picket duty schedules are being developed for the next seven weeks.
''Plan for the long term and hope for the short term,'' he said.
The plant manufactures steel parts used in the production of drywall.
Phillips also operates plants in Nebraska and Florida. Attempts to reach a company spokesman in Niles and Nebraska were unsuccessful Thursday afternoon.
Brubaker said a union strike fund is available for striking workers based on need, along with emergency health care coverage.

Guru - that is about the silliest post I have read. So let's go through all the successful teams that lost their starting qb, rt, both guards and now a host of injuries, that were successful. You say it is the system, I would think perhaps the injuries and a schedule from hell could be at work. Added to salary cap issues, loss of draft choices ... All that and then overrating the team leaves the bucs here, with any head coach - from Gruden to Lombardi.PS Lombardi was pretty much as system man, kinda like most successful coaches. Some adapation - but not much - from year to year. JMHO.

On the left side of the north face is a detatched flake with a roof above it. Climb up the flake, pull the roof, move up the steep knobby face, up and right to a belay below a corner. Follow the corner to the top.
to 2.5".
A wild pitch for 5.7... Make sure you have 2-3 sling ready to tie off knobs for pro above the roof. You should definitely link this one into the Prow for a great 5.10 link-up.
Didn't believe this was 5.7 until I climbed it. Solid jug on the roof and a heel hook get you over. Crux actually came before the roof for me, but I stemmed between this and the left-facing crack to the right. I'd recommend Hard Up as a better variation.
A fun route. "Hard Up" is a better start.
Very fun, perfect for a first-ever roof move! Harder than 5.7 if you're only 5'0" and have to throw for the (out-of-reach) knob and then hang one-handed before pulling it. Awesome!! And yes, 'Hard Up' is a better start.
I climbed this as a warm-up with an experienced partner, but the whole time I was climbing I couldn't stop thinking how this would be an awesome climb to take a first timer on. The improbable, yet technically very easy roof, to the puzzle of knobs above make this one that would surely hook even the most skeptical of n00bs on the sport! I thought this was a standout climb for the grade.

A drunk driver has been charged after losing control and plowing into a home in Bay Village.
It happened just before noon on June 11 in the 27000 block of Aberdeen Road.
"I saw the car into the house and I didn't see and skid marks. So, I don't think he even hit the brakes. He was wedged in there pretty well," said neighbor Chris Barrow. He did not see the accident happen.
The driver of the vehicle, Florin Constaninescu, was transported to St. John Medical Center. Preliminary blood results indicated a blood alcohol level in excess of 0.40 - that is fives times the legal limit in Ohio.
Police say Constaninescu, who had knee surgery a few weeks ago was apparently trying to dull his pain with alcohol.
Constaninescu has been charged with OVI, reckless operation and failure to control.

Although the council spent more than it brought in last month, it was able to cut the city's debt by two-thirds.
"After all that, we are still operating in the black," Mayor Dennis Welch told the council.
Welch said the city also paid more than $20,000 to the city's insurance providers.
"For the first time in a long time, we are caught up on our insurance," Welch said.
At the last financial report, the city owed more than $21,000 to various sources.
The city currently owes $7,647.99 total, and much of that debt is old lawyer fees from 2010. Removing the lawyer debt, the city currently owes just $581.23, according to Welch.
"Over the next six months, all I ask is that we are careful with the finances," Welch said.
In other business:
•The council appointed Herbie Brewer as the city's prosecutor. This leaves only the city's magistrate still standing as a temporary appointment. The magistrate's position was the subject of an executive session, but no action was taken.
•Mayor Dennis Welch addressed the town members who are circulating a petition for an alcohol referendum in the city. State law dictates that only municipalities with at least 1,000 citizens can vote to sell alcohol in the city limits. Welch said Oakman falls far short of that requirement and would need to increase the population by more than 25 percent to come close.
•The council swore in new council member Rhonda Milwood, who was appointed to replace an elected council member who resigned due to health reasons.
•The council voted to not renew the contract with RDS to collect the city's business license fees and taxes.
•Because of issues with the city's existing fleet of police cars, the city will be exploring other options for police vehicles. Mayor Pro Tem Chris Harvey and Welch have been in touch with Hoover Police Department, which will be selling surplus vehicles next month.
•The council voted to restart the city's uniform allowance for full time police officers in November.
•The police department has also been in touch with the Fraternal Order of Police, which will hopefully be able to get bulletproof vests for the officers without cost to the city.
•The council also voted to pay the magistrate and police officers for time spent appearing in court and the city clerk to appear at council meetings.
•The council also voted to reinstitute the city's time clock, rather than using written time cards. All employees are now required to clock in and out every shift.

The Steelers enter the 2012 season with a few durability concerns in the backfield, but they don't appear as great as they could be.
Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall, who's coming off an ACL tear, practiced with the first-team offense leading up to the season opener at Denver, though he's listed as doubtful for Sunday's game. "Everything I've been asked to do I've been able to do it and do it well," Mendenhall said of his knee in advance of Week One, according to the club.
Not long after the injury, Mendenhall's agent, Rick Smith, estimated Mendenhall's recovery time at 6-9 months; the running back is now more than eight months removed from the injury. While Mendenhall remains on the mend, he's not on the PUP list, where some speculated he would land. When he returns, Mendenhall looks poised to return to his starting role; he's listed as first-string on the depth chart.
Another story line to watch in the Steelers' backfield is the progress of third-year pro Jonathan Dwyer, who has stepped up his game and become a viable threat for serious work. Head coach Mike Tomlin said the 23-year-old Dwyer has matured and "is in better physical condition than he has been in the past." Meanwhile, Isaac Redman, listed ahead of Dwyer on the depth chart, has battled some nagging injuries, though nothing that's expected to affect his availability.

K. Sparks - 1985
Artist: K. Sparks
Producer: Kurser
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 7 total votes )
1985 was a banner year for the emerging genre of hip-hop, yielding such acclaimed LPs as Run-D.M.C.'s King of Rock, LL Cool J's The Radio and Mantronix's The Album. For K. Sparks, however, it was a time not of dope music but of trauma and familial strife. On this freshly-released promotional single, a headnodic Kurser production backs the Queens fave as he revisits a few painful memories from his childhood, spitting about his brother's diagnosis with bipolar disorder, the revelation that his mother had cancer, and his eventual turn to alcohol as a way of numbing the pain. Far from breaking his spirit, though, those experiences only left him more determined to build a better world for himself, his family and his community: "I live for better days just to help a better nation." This inspiring joint isn't attached to a larger project, but those feeling it can, of course, keep it locked for the latest from the DJBooth regular.
Update: We have added the Daybreak Media-directed visuals for Sparks' 1985 single.

As of today our egg donations to everyone have reached these figures:
953.5 dozen---------thats 11,442 eggs,----average weight per egg was 1.5 ounces =17,163 ounces = 1,072.69 pounds.
Most of these were taken to our local Home Sweet Home Mission for their kitchen to cook up and serve to the homeless people!
They could have used more than that if we could have produced them!
This was only the egg part of our donations----there were tons of fresh produce taken as well plus we have more potatoes in storage that will have to be taken to them as well!
I about have the coming year planting figured out (the what/the amount to plant/seed/etc.) did get most of the gardens subsoiled 3' deep PLUS getting it moldboard plowed, so ready for spring till!--1 pass and plant! thanks; sonny

Police in Surprise arrested a man after a lengthy standoff with their SWAT team Thursday afternoon.
Officers said Paul Alegria III assaulted his ex-girlfriend in the area of 14900 West Parkwood Drive. The woman ran out of the house with two children.
When police got there, Alegria locked himself inside and even waved a gun through a window, police said.
Bus routes for Kingswood Elementary School even had to change routes to avoid that area.
No one was hurt.
Alegria was booked into jail on several domestic violence related charges.

Auditions for "1979 Is Going" Musical
November 7, 2013 Comments Off
1979 is Going is a political musical following the coming of age of four students in Iran, 1979, pre-Islamic Republic. Norah Shah is a bright university student who's planning to go to an interview for a transfer program in England with the help of her friend Arash, behind her parents backs. At the same time, Norah's friend Sara is attempting to convince her family to accept her new boyfriend, Siamak. All of their personal troubles come to a standstill, however, when the country goes to war. Essentially, 1979 is Going expresses Iran's changes in government amongst kitchen bickering and break ups, and through family dinners and disappointed mothers. But above all, it expresses how much things can change when life throws something unbelievable at you.

confirmation to the Supreme Court last week marks the first time three women have served concurrently on
the high court. However, Kagan's confirmation marks another historic
occasion — the first time in 168 years that three Princetonians have shared
the bench.
While 2010′s trio consists of Samuel Alito ' 72, Sonia

Vacation Rentals in Poland
Poland Rental Results
Poland Local Information and Area Highlights
Travel to Poland / Poland Vacation Rentals
Friendly people, big mountains to ski on during the winter, beaches to catch sun on during the summer, lively cities, a proud cultural heritage on display wherever you go – what more could you ask for in a European vacation? Poland, a sizable European country, has become more and more modern with every passing year and yet it still maintains its traditions. For an affordable and safe trip to Europe, book your Poland vacation rental right away!
The heart of Europe
Surrounded by several countries and bordering the Baltic Sea, Poland can definitely be considered part of Europe's heart. And it's a warm heart indeed, as the hospitable people of Poland are known for greeting tourists with open arms. Aspiring empires targeted Poland for centuries and it wasn't until after World War II that the country was given a fighting chance to overcome its past. As a recent member of the European Union, Poland has made a turn for the better and those renting a Poland vacation home are in for a real treat.
Poland Vacation Spots
The ghost of communism is very present in Poland, nurturing a vibrant artistic community. There is so much to learn about the architecture, literature, and music of the region that you won't ever lack things to do and exlore. You may find the Czartoryski Museum the most intriguing of all. Built in the 1800's, the impressive museum features pieces by Leonardo Da Vinci and other artistic treasures that stretch centuries and originate from both the east and west. For a bit of culture, make sure to travel to Poland during the festivals, which include the Music in Old Kraków International Festival and the Polish Film Festival, to name a few. From the popular national events to local fairs and competitions, Poland is overflowing with celebrative and educational happenings throughout the year.
There is plenty of intriguing history to learn in Poland as well. Whether you're interested in visiting the largest gothic castle in Europe, Malbork Castle, or the still-standing buildings of the infamous Auschwitz prison, Poland has much in store for you. Medieval times all the way up to World War II are well-represented in various parts of Poland; however, some areas in the country are so thriving and modern, it's hard to remember the country's difficult history. One of those areas is the city of Warsaw, which was ravaged by World War II but today is flooded with the urban charm and excitement characteristic of the West. Warsaw is the cosmopolitan center of Poland and it's arguably the best city for shopping and dining.
For those who find less appeal in modern delights, the city of Krakow is a must-see. It's dominated by old architecture and museums. On the same token, Krakow is still a great spot to enjoy the modern art and culture of Poland, as it is the home town of many of the country's famed literary figures. During a single day trip to Krakow, you can tour striking cathedrals, museums, and even the Dragon's Cave. According to legend, the mysterious cave is where the fantastical medieval fire-breather was killed by a slayer, who was after the hand of the king's daughter.
As far as nature goes, there is all the more to discover. In the winter time, hit the slopes with your skis, or flock to the beaches in summertime. Poland has outdoor recreation for every season. A slew of national parks will introduce you to Poland's wild natural wonders. At Białowieźa National Park, you can witness over a hundred species of birds, the rare European bison, and lots of other amazing animals. Słowiński National Park, on the other hand, showcases the country's coast line, lakes, and various villages. It's also home to the White Mountain, a one-of-a-kind dune that shifts throughout the year; the magnificent dune is created by sand kicked up by the beach waves, which is then dried by the sun and wind, only to be accumulated once again.
A vacation to Poland will certainly please just about any type of vacationer; bustling cities, rich history, nature, adventure, and much more, await you in Poland! It's no wonder the country is such an increasingly popular and captivating destination for travelers.
Finding Poland Accommodations
Many people underestimate Poland vacation spots, but you can be unique and take advantage of this exciting country with so much to offer! Just make sure you do so with the help of Poland vacation rentals. A Poland vacation home is the ideal way to experience the local culture. Some Poland accommodations may come in the form of hotel rooms, but that doesn't mean you have to make hotel reservations.

Cruden confirms Chiefs switch
ESPNscrum Staff
July 15, 2011
Cruden will link up with current All Blacks assistant coach Wayne Smith at the Waikato franchise next year © Getty Images
Hurricanes fly-half Aaron Cruden has confirmed that he will move to the Chiefs for next year's Super Rugby campaign.
The 22-year-old playmaker made his Super Rugby debut in 2010 for the Hurricanes, and was also named in the All Blacks that year. He had previously captained the New Zealand U20 team to the IRB Junior World Championship title in 2009 - a feat that also saw him named International Rugby Board's Junior Player of the Year.
Cruden missed out on selection for the Tri-Nations after the Hurricanes failed to impress in the 2011 Super Rugby season and is now set to fill the void left by Stephen Donald who is poised to link up with English Premiership side Bath.
Chiefs coach Dave Rennie said the franchise was "absolutely rapt" Cruden had committed to the Chiefs. "He's a top man, a quality player and a leader."
Cruden said the decision had been "extremely difficult" before revealing that it was the influence of Rennie, his coach at U20 level and current boss at Manawatu, that swayed his decision.
"I never wanted to let anyone down but a decision had to be made," he said. "It was my long-standing relationship with Rens that swayed things the Chiefs' way. It's going to be a challenge but one I am looking forward to now."
Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett paid tribute to Cruden. "We are disappointed Aaron is leaving, but it's not completely unexpected considering his close and long-standing relationship with Dave Rennie and the opportunity to link with Wayne Smith," Hammett said.
"Aaron has served us well over the last two seasons: he has been extremely hard working and highly professional both on and off the field."
Hammett said the Hurricanes had a number of other "quality" fly-halfs in our region who are available, among them Beauden Barrett in Taranaki, Michael Hobbs in Wellington and Daniel Kirkpatrick in Hawke's Bay.
Manawatu lock Michael Fitzgerald also confirmed his move to the Chiefs, and will look to debut for the side in the 2012 competition. Rennie said Fitzgerald was one of the best performing locks in last year's national provincial championship. "He's a very good athlete, has an outstanding work ethic and is prepared to do a lot of the grunt work," Rennie said.

The FBI says they've arrested a Mississippi man in connection with poison-laced letters sent to President Obama and a Mississippi senator.
The FBI has identified the suspect as Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, who they believe is responsible for a total of three ricin letters: one to President Obama, the second to U.S. Senator Roger wicker from Mississippi, and the third target, who is being referred to as a Mississippi justice official.
The letters addressed to Senator Wicker and the President never got close to their intended targets; both were detected and intercepted at mail sorting facilities away from the Capital and White House. It's not clear how the third letter was discovered.
According to the FBI, Paul Kevin Curtis, the alleged sender of those ricin-poisoned letters, was arrested late Wednesday afternoon at his apartment in Corinth, Mississippi, about 100 miles east of Memphis Tennessee where the two letters sent to Washington were postmarked.
According to an FBI bulletin obtained by Fox 32 News both letters contained the same message:
"To see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance."
Both were signed, "I am KC and I approve this message."
Authorities are waiting for definitive tests on the ricin, because preliminary tests can register false positives.
The Medical Director for the Illinois Poison Center said Ricin is highly toxic if breathed or ingested, but "unless it is weaponized and it takes a significant amount of skill to make that happen, the lethality of this compound is actually fairly low 20 just because of the difficulty in delivery."
There were other letter scares at other congressional offices in Washington and in other parts of the country.
Sources out of Washington say that there is no evidence that the ricin letters have any connection to the Boston bombing.

He just posted it on his Facebook page saying him fighting Roberto is just a rumor....thank god, I have been waiting for some words from him for the longest! I am never paying any attention to who is he going to fight unless he himself announces it.
However I believe we will know the name soon as January closes down and if he is to fight on May 4th, his training camp and promotion should commence at the end of February or maybe even sooner. I think I'll be as surprised as when he announced hes fighting Ortiz. Didn't see that one coming!
Can you think of any other unlikely names that could end up in the mix?

Your Wedding Gone Viral
By Paula and Martin Ramirez
Your love is epic and the world should know it! In the age of the internet, when news is digital and headlines are generated at an unreal pace, why shouldn't someone sitting in Gnome, Alaska, be inspired by your perfectly themed, elegantly crafted and expertly executed destination wedding? Blogs and online journals are dying for new content to share with their readers, and fame is within reach if you only know the secrets to making your wedding viral.
The first rule of creating a social media presence for your wedding is to understand who has rights to which images and how those images may be used. Many photographers offer unlimited pictures and personal use rights while others will retain all rights to their photos. Either way, nearly all photographers retain commercial rights and those require adherence and care. Before you submit your images to a media outlet, know how your photographer intends to handle commercial rights.
Attracting attention to your wedding requires some skill, some finesse and a lot of strength as you might find that your wedding doesn't fit your first target media outlets. Fear not. Editors are looking for certain characteristics and unique experiences. While your favorite magazine might not feel the love, another is bound to see what you see in your Big Day. Keep up your publicity-seeking efforts with enough perseverance and you may become the cover girl you always wanted to be!
Make generous use of social media tools when seeking viral publicity. Hashtags (those #multiwordlabels that people add to many tweets and posts) make it easier for wedding researchers to find what they are looking for among all the bustle and noise. Twitter, Facebook and many wedding-specific websites offer free accounts that you can use to help get your wedding images noticed. Sites like YouTube, Pinterest and Instagram are user-friendly and high-profile hubs where anyone interested in your style and secrets can seek out your contributions and resources. You can even ask a mobile-wizard friend or two to live-tweet your wedding!
It is more convenient than ever to pursue attention for the hard work you invested in your wedding planning and the beautiful event that resulted. A little elbow grease, some internet savvy and a dash of patience are all you need to make your wedding a viral sensation!
Paula and Martin Ramirez are the proprietors of Historic Mankin Mansion, an award-winning wedding resort just minutes from Downtown Richmond. They have lovingly restored this National Landmark to its original grandeur and are honored to share the treasured estate with Brides, Grooms & their Families.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb was limited throughout this week's practices and is officially listed as "Questionable" for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
After missing four weeks with a foot/toe injury, Kolb had a triumphant return in the Cardinals' overtime win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13. Kolb suffered his injury early the following week against the San Francisco 49ers, giving way to second-year quarterback John Skelton, who would make the start if Kolb is unable to play.
"We'll see when we get there," Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said according to The Arizona Republic on Friday. "We'll make that decision after we travel. We've got to see how he (Kolb) responds after the flight today."
In his first season with the Cardinals, Kolb has completed 57.7 percent of 253 pass attempts for 1,955 yards with nine touchdowns and eight interceptions.

MLB's Rules Committee has voted to outlaw collisions at home plate. The next step in the process is to gain approval from the players, which could lead to the change being implemented for the 2014 season. The players are expected to approve it, but even if they don't, MLB could implement the change unilaterally for 2015.
There isn't yet a formally written rule, so the expect specifics of it (and the penalties for players who break the rule) are not yet available, but the gist of it is that base runners will no longer be allowed to initiate contact with the catcher on plays at the plate, and catchers will no longer be allowed to block the base path. Home plate will now (basically) be treated the same as any other base, in terms of the rules governing base running plays there.
The rise in our collective understanding of concussions is one factor that's led to this change, which was also spurred on by a number of high-profile collisions, some of which knocked players out for months, including Buster Posey of the San Francisco Giants back in 2011 (when he was reigning NL Rookie of the Year):
Posey missed the rest of the 2011 season with a fractured ankle and ligament damage. Fortunately he was able to make a full recovery (as evidence by his winning the 2012 NL MVP Award).
Early this season there was this one, with Indians catcher Lou Marson getting steamrolled:
"He just needs a second, to let all the cobwebs come out."
That's what you hear at the 0:41 mark and it shows how so many still respond to plays like that, downplaying its possible severity. Marson did in fact finish out the inning, but was then pulled from the game. He wound up on the DL with a concussion and a cervical neck strain.
The straw that broke the camel's back may have been this collision during Game 5 of this year's ALCS, when millions and millions were watching:
Tigers catcher Alex Avila left that game with a strained knee. He was able to play in Game 6 two days later, though he did go 0 for 4 with 4 strikeouts.
Major League catchers past and present have been divided on the issue. Mike Matheny, current manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, and former MLB catcher whose career was cut short by concussions, was against banning collisions at the plate when he was a player, and both Marson and Avila both described the plays that injured them as "part of the game," but Matheny changed his mind after he became a manager.
"What I've personally witnessed was enough for me to change my mind. It actually took me a little longer 'til I got to the realization of the risk we're putting these guys in -- and the runner, too... This isn't a collision sport. There's enough of a physical grind with guys being out there for 162 games."
Other levels of American baseball as well as leagues around the world have already outlawed the home plate collision, and I'm happy to see MLB now taking this step to protect its players too.

4.1/5 rDev +12.3%
Appears a hazy, light gold with a small, white cap that slowly fades into a mild head and bubbly collar. Tons of tubular lacing is left around the glass.
Smell is of flowers, earth, herbal, citrus, with funky notes of brett and magnolias.
Taste is the same as the aromas with notes of pineapple, sugar, flowers, herbs, and generous spicing on top of authentic farmhouse funk, along with esters of bubblegum, and vanilla.
Mouthfeel is medium-full bodied, spritzy, sugary up front, semi-dry in the finish. A fine example of a farmhouse ale. Well done!

4.03/5 rDev +10.4%
A: Clear, bright straw with a nice two finger fluffy white head that settles quickly to about a half inch leaving nice lacing.
S: Grainy, husky, sour, citus and funk.
T: Sour and graininess compete with a bit of lemon zest in between and only a bit of spiciness.
M: Dry, crisp, and refreshing.
D: This is a good saison that I could drink all day and night especially in the summer.

4/5 rDev +9.6%
Appearance: Golden with a slight haze beneath a short white cap that slowly fades to a thin cap and bubbly collar. Thin rings and craggy splashes of lace are left about the glass. Nice!
Smell: The aroma was not overly bold, but it was full of nuance: chalky yeast, mild fruit, flowers, grass/leaves, herbs, citrus.
Taste: Chalky yeast, golden malt, tropical fruits and sugar (pineapple, papaya), flowers, citrus, soft earth, and a hint of clove & vanilla. The fruit-sweet-malt-earthiness all falls into place and balances against a firm bitterness that leads it to a mainly dry finish that lingers as the separate flavors steadily erode.
Mouthfeel: Medium to medium-full bodied with a delicately zesty, fine-bubbled carbonation.
Drinkability: With marks for both flavor & desire to taste more, and the overall volume of drinkability given its accessability and alcohol content, the D'Ete scores very well. Nicely done!

This beer arrived at the table a slightly hazed gold colour with a fine cap of sticky, white foam that settled very slowly. The aroma was grassy and floral, a little yeasty, with light lemony citrus. The flavour was similar to the aroma, but with a fruity, almost tropical, sweetness, a hint of vanilla, and more malt character. Medium bodied with a bit of dryness at the end. My glass was a little light on carbonation, but the texture was solid. Enjoyable and refreshing. Quite good.

On tap at Rock Bottom KOP on 8/5/08. Served in a Muf Club mug.
A - Very clear pale golden/straw-colored body with short white head that dissipated but left behind all kinds of sticky Brussels lace. There's just a sparse amount of slow-rising carbonation present.
S - Some clove and spicy yeast up front, reminiscent of a wheat beer or hefe. Mild fleshy fruit akin to apple or pear is also present. There's some pepper sprinkled into the mix as well. Mild sour funky notes are quite subdued for a saison.
T - A little bit of sour funky yeast, but pretty mild for a farmhouse ale. Very earthy flavor with some mild musty notes. Fruity esters mingle with clove and pepper spiciness. A mild bitterness creeps out in the finish, possessing an earthy and grassy hop quality.
M - Light to medium body with moderate carbonation. Texture is a bit watery with a mild syrupy mouthfeel. Finishes a little on the bitter side and lingers for a while on the palate.
D - This saison is a little light on the funk and heavier on the hops. Not one of my favorite styles, but this is a pretty good example of a farmhouse ale.

Golden brew with a bit of haze. It was served to me with no head, but there was some spotty lacing that was created with the thin ring it did have.
Earthy, herbal aroma with some lemon.
Citrus and spice are the main taste, with lemon and peppar coming though. The lemon comes up front, with the spice on the end.
Light to medium bodied brew, finishing dry.
Drinkability: Wouldn't mind having a few.

I had this beer on-tap at Rock Bottom in King of Prussia.
Appearance: Yellow body with a small white head, leaving bits of thin lace on the side.
Smell: banana esters bits of sweet malt
Taste: a bit of banana, not as much as the aroma, some spices but nothing I could descern
Mouthfeel: crisp, very lagery
Drinkability: decent
Don't drink and review.

Born on Date: 6/24
Drank this seasonal offering on tap yesterday evening at the Rock Bottom Restaurant (reviewed from notes):
Poured a deep orange/dark yellow, possessing a thick head and body that isn't usually as pronounced in most Saisons (in my experience, at least).
First scent brought out banana and coriander, much like a hefeweizen, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, it was lacking the spiciness and acidity usually prominent in the nose.
Taste reminded me of an American Pale Wheat Ale, but with a dryer finish. This is definitely not what was expected or desired. Gone are the lemon zest and sour bite most farmhouse ales pack in spades.
It did have a bit of dryness on the end, but was rather mild and not exemplary.
I could see this as drinkable, but that's sort of besides the point. Something was definitely lost in the translation here and I don't believe this reflects the characteristics of the style well, if at all.
*Retried on 9-10-11, chalkboard subtitles it as "Harry & Baldy's Summer Ale"
Figured I'd give this another spin, just to be fair. The flavors seem to have developed since I last drank it. The dry conclusion feels more authentic and the wheat flavor is no longer overpowering. I can also sense some much needed coriander, which adds a dry, peppery characteristic. It's great to see a brewer constantly improving on his recipes.

Peetz School District has a new principal. The Board of Education approved a contract for Lori Heller to serve as principal, during their regular meeting on Tuesday.
Heller took on the principal duties earlier this year, when she was appointed a Teacher on Special Assignment (TOSA), so then-principal Mark Collard could take on the superintendent duties while the district searched for a new superintendent. Collard was officially appointed to the superintendent's position in March.
Prior to being named a TOSA, Heller served as a sixth grade teacher at the school. Traci Brush, who was hired as a long-term substitute, is now filling the sixth grade teacher position.
In other business, the board discussed the 2014-15 budget.
"We're pretty tight like everyone else," Collard said. "We're staying with a pretty conservative approach. There are no raises in the salary schedule to speak of."
Additionally, the board approved contracts for Morgan Meier, as the fourth-sixth grade language arts teacher, and Mindy Soldatdnkov, as the secondary language arts teacher and they accepted the resignation of music teacher Jamie Wheelock.
Plus, the board heard an update on the bus barn the district is building. Collard said it's "almost complete." The electrical inspection has been done and it was passed, so the building should be ready for use soon.
There was also discussion about an open gym program for the summer. The district is looking at leaving the gym open during the week "for kids and community members to be in and be more active in the summer," Collard said. No action was taken.
Another item that the board took no action on was the approval of a disaster agreement with Devonshire Acres. The nursing home already has agreements with other facilities in Sterling, but they would like to use Peetz School in the event that something happens causing the whole town to be shutdown and residents need to be moved somewhere outside of Sterling.
The board waited to take action on the request so they can have time to think it over. Collard said they will likely take action on it at the next meeting.

Retailers need to 'toughen up'
In March this year, South Wales Police carried out test purchases in Cardiff with 15 year olds to find out whether they could buy alcohol from major supermarket websites.
It found that alcohol could be purchased by agreeing the website terms and conditions and having a debit card and email address.
It also found that in 44 per cent of the test cases, alcohol was given to underage test purchasers without any requests for proof of age.
The process of purchasing alcohol online, for example via supermarket websites, is unique in that the sale is made in private and with relative anonymity, away from traditional retail premises. Young people have told us that these sites offer less robust age verification practices and provide a quick and easy way to get hold of alcohol, especially for younger teenagers who would likely have greater difficulty in buying alcohol in person from in-store at a supermarket or off-licence.
– Mark Leyshon, Alcohol Cymru
Alcohol is not an ordinary commodity like other household goods we buy. It's a potentially addictive and harmful substance, especially for the young, and should be sold and distributed as such. Retailers offering home delivery services need to toughen up their processes to ensure that children and young people are prevented from accessing alcohol through this channel.

At Old Dominion University, students who submit their FAFSAs by February 15 (meeting the priority filing deadline) receive priority consideration for this grant.
The funding for the Guaranteed Assistance Program is determined annually by the State Council of Higher Education. Grants may be renewed annually for no more that three subsequent (consecutive) years of study if:
- the student maintains at least a 2.0 grade point average on a scale of 4.0;
- the student is not receiving state discretionary aid (Commonwealth Award);
- the student demonstrates continued financial need as a result of filing the FAFSA for the upcoming academic year and meeting the priority deadline (February 15) and is classified as a dependent student for financial aid purposes;

A big thank you to Wordemupg for this 2011 bottle, a long time want.
Appearance. Pours an murky orangey-brown with a very thin off-white head that doesn't last very long.
Smell. Big caramel, brown sugar, and raisins, a little sweet grainy malt and a touch of orange rind. Smells awesome.
Taste. Caramel, burnt sugar, and raisins. There's still a little orange rind going on as well (like the smell) ans some herbal hops. Good stuff.
Mouthfeel. Full body, low carbonation.
Overall. A really nice BW that I would enjoy every year if it came here. Great stuff.

341ml bottle poured into a 16oz tulip. 2010 vintage.
A - Pours a beautiful deep mahogany hue with ample haze and a thin skiff of tan head. Minimal retention, and no real lacing. Great looking beer nonetheless.
S - Candied fruit sweetness, herbal earthiness, rich caramel malt, a touch of leather, and some rum-like booze. Maybe some dark, dried fruit as well. Quite musty, but sweet and even a bit sour as well. Spices add to the complexity and depth. Wood, cherries, apples, the list goes on. A pungent and complex aroma for sure.
T - Big time flavor here. Huge, rich malty backbone of caramel, toffee and brown sugar, with almost cloying sweet notes of candied apple and cherries. Resinous, musty earth, dank wood, dates, rum, and anise, among other spices. Finishes with an assertive herbal hop punch that lends a firm bitterness, as the alcohol makes it self apparent in the finish. Long lasting finish of rich malt, herbal astringency, and warming alcohol presence. Very, very full bodied.
M - Thick and syrupy, with carbonation on the lower side. Bitterness in the finish. Pretty sticky stuff too. Finishes pretty warm, but not too much so.
D - Certainly one of the more ambitious and interesting brews from my home province Alberta, but that being said this isn't quite my thing. I'm slowly warming up to barleywines, but I still find many of them overly astringent and alcoholic. However, this is probably one of the better BWs I've had the chance to try. I think as my tastes change and I delve further into craft, this will be a brew to revisit due to the availability and great price for me.

2011 vintage. ABV listed at 10.3%.
Beer is a very dark maroon with a small tan head that dissipates almost immediately. A bit of lacing.
Smell is rich. Toffee, caamel, sweet malt, dark fruits (fig, raisin, plum), brown sugar, leather. Intoxicating.
Taste is like the nose. Rich toffee and caramel, bread, brown sugar, dark fruits. Quite sweet. Alcohol is pretty strong- I imagine it gets smoother with some more time, but rather hot right now.
Full bodied, moderate carbonation, syrupy.
Overall, very nice!

Pours a dark mahogany brown tobacco in color w/ a very light skim coat head and little to no lacing. Aromas of caramel, toffee, dark fruits, light citrus, and basement mustiness. The flavor was caramel/toffee sweetness up front, leading into dark fruits (raisin/fig), and finishing w/ a touch of tobacco, hop bitterness, and basement mustiness. Medium bodied w/ carbonation on the lower end of the spectrum. Easy to drink for the style w/ well masked ABV.
This brew has been on my wants list forever! Finally acquired a bottle and it did not disappoint, now all I have to do is figure out how to get more.

2011 edition of Olde Deuteronomy.
Appearance - Pours a hazy mahogany hue with a thin white head.
Smell - Tropical fruits (predominantly passionfruit), licorice, spicy notes, slight citrus aromas.
Taste - Hint of the tropical and citrus fruits. Sweet honey character to it; slightly bitter hops in the aftertaste. Finish has a bit of leafiness/grassiness to it.
Mouthfeel - Medium-to-full bodied with minimal-to-no bubbles. Very smooth. Enjoyable to sip on.
Overall - A very nice representation of a barleywine from Alley Kat. The ABV is hardly recognizable in this one, which makes it easy to drink (and slightly dangerous). Lovely fruity flavours shine in this one.

Illness Sidelines Barry Manilow; Manilow on Broadway's Jan. 22 Show Cancelled
By Kenneth Jones
Singer-songwriter Barry Manilow, struggling with bronchitis, cancelled the 7 PM Jan. 22 performance of Manilow On Broadway, the concert event boasting "the songs that make the whole world sing," as his lyric goes. Previews began Jan. 18 at Broadway's St. James Theatre toward an official opening night of Jan. 24.
A makeup performance for the Jan. 22 show was announced to play Feb. 26, three days after the announced closing date of the limited engagement. A glib posting at Manilow.com Jan. 22 stated, "With deep apologies, and due to a sudden case of bronchitis, tonight's show will be postponed until February 26th. Mr. Manilow can be found on the Brooklyn Bridge, getting ready to jump."
It was not immediately known if the other performances this week are affected.
On the morning of Jan. 22, in bitter cold, Manilow was present for an outdoor unveiling of the ceremonial street sign for Barry Manilow Way on West 44th Street, where the St. James is located.
The Grammy Award winner has sold 80 million records. He's also got a passion for musical theatre; he wrote the scores for the musicals Harmony and Copacabana.
"Manilow is returning to the place where it all began, his hometown, New York City, with a new concert series on Broadway — marking his return to The Great White Way for the first time in more than two decades," according to producers, who announced the booking on Oct. 22, 2012.
At the age of seven, Brooklyn native Manilow was taking accordion lessons and playing on a neighbor's piano. He attended New York College of Music and the Juilliard School of Music while working in the mailroom at CBS. He subsequently became musical director for a CBS show named "Callback," a predecessor to "American Idol," which led to working in the world of advertising jingles.
Manilow has had 25 consecutive Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1975 and 1983. The list includes songs that Manilow still sings today: "Mandy," "It's a Miracle," "Could It Be Magic," "I Write the Songs," "Tryin' To Get the Feeling Again," "This One's For You," "Weekend in New England," "Looks Like We Made It," "Can't Smile Without You," "Even Now," and the Grammy Award-winning "Copacabana (At the Copa)."
"Growing up in New York, Broadway has always held a special place in my heart and I am honored to have the opportunity to make the St. James Theatre my home in the New Year," stated Manilow. Manilow on Broadway is presented by Jujamcyn Theaters and STILETTO Entertainment.
Tickets range in price from $50 to $350. For tickets, visit ManilowOnBroadway.com or call (212) 239-6200 or (800) 432-7250.
Barry Manilow Fan Club tickets are available at manilow.com and by calling (310) 957-5788.
Manilow on Broadway plays the following weekly performance schedule: Tuesday at 7 PM, Wednesday at 7 PM, Thursday at 8 PM, Friday at 8 PM and Saturday at 8 PM.

He hit the ground running as he began his second term as Mayor of New Orleans, and now Mitch Landrieu can look back on his first four years with a sense of real accomplishment.
The city has hit it's post-Katrina stride. Tourism is flourishing, retail is rocking, and the entreprenuerial spirit is alive. According to every study, people are feeling good about the city.
But Mayor Landrieu faces some real challenges, such as how to pay for two consent decrees and the firemens' pensions. How do we get more people interested in joining the police department? How do we resolve the ever-growing demands of citizen groups who want the streets fixed now, the street lights fixed now - and not years from now?
I was lucky to have Mayor Landrieu in studio today to answer some of these important questions.
"I'm thrilled to have been given a second opportunity to serve the City for the next four years. The problems that we had the last four years are very different from the problems we'll have in the next four," he said. "People of this city should be really proud of how far we've come... I think everyone really pulled together and we tried everything we could to get the city back."
The Mayor is fresh off a trip to the Louisiana legislature in a push to help strengthen the city's finances and pay for those two consent decrees. How did it go?
"There's not enough money for everything and you have to start making decisions about what goes first, what goes second. I went to the Legislature and said 'forgive our debt the way you asked President Obama to forgive yours.' The Legislature said 'no, thank you.'"
My final question to him was one that everyone else is asking: Are you thinking about running for Governor?
"No. I love being the Mayor of the City of New Orleans. When you're a politician, you never say never. Who knows what it's going to look like a year and a half from now, but I love the city with all my heart and soul."
Take a listen to the interview by clicking the link below.
FULL AUDIO: Angela talks to Mayor Landrieu about the city's agenda
How do we stop animal cruelty? Is it tougher laws? Tougher penalties? Bigger fines? More jail time? Public humiliation?
We've seen a lot of disturbing headlines lately. Horses malnourished or found dead from starvation, emaciated kittens found caged in a bin or thrown out on expressways, even pregnant rabbits thrown from cars.
We all cringe when we hear this horrific stories, but how do we stop people in their tracks? How do we make them know these are criminal acts?
It's sick, it's against the law, and it needs to stop now. Our society should have no tolerance for these kinds of acts against animals who can't protect themselves.
Fortunately, there are people in our community who work in the trenches 365 days a year to help animals. To help me understand this important topic, I invited in some of the best. Louisiana Humane Society Jeff Dorson, Spaymart President Lynn Chiche, Dr. Theresa Gernon of the Magazine Street Animal Clinic, Dr. Greg Rich of the West Esplanade Veterinary Clinic, June Booth from the House Rabbit Society all joined me today to help educate us about animal cruelty laws and policies.
We were also fortunate to be joined by Meagan McCarthy, whose cat Cinderella was left tortured and broken by her roommate. It is a heartbreaking story, but Cinderella is on the mend with the help of these very capable experts.
Take a listen to the podcast, and tell me what you think we can do as a society to prevent these types of stories from greeting us in the news. Thanks for listening!

Virginia Vaccine Shortage
As people line up for H1N1 flu shots in DC and Maryland, Virginians are wondering why their communities are seeing so little of the vaccine. Fairfax County's health director says the county ordered the H1N1 vaccine some time ago, but supplies are coming from four different companies, complicating the process.
Dr. Gloria Addo-Ayensu says the county is scaling back planned clinics this weekend. Instead of ten, there will be only one at the government center — and only for pregnant women and children six-months to 36-months-old. Fairfax County leaders will schedule more clinics as more vaccine becomes available. Prince William County has also suspended H1N1 clinics due to supply problems.

Spend-O-Meter vs. Truth-O-Meter
By David Baumann
Published on Monday, November 19th, 2007 at 7:06 p.m.
When a presidential candidate says, "I have a million ideas. The country can't afford them all," opponents are bound to jump on the comment.
So, when Clinton said that to the Boston Globe editorial board in October, she may as well have painted a big target on herself.
Taking aim? The Republican National Committee, which created the "Spend-O-Meter" to add up the cost of Clinton's policy proposals.
"If Sen. Hillary Clinton could enact all of her campaign proposals, taxpayers would be faced with financing more than $777.6-billion in new spending over one White House term," the RNC says on its Web site, www.gop.com, where the meter is prominently featured.
PolitiFact's Truth-O-Meter finds that the RNC's Spend-O-Meter does a pretty good job with the calculations. To be sure, the Spend-O-Meter makes some assumptions to simplify the arithmetic, and it overlooks arguments by the Clinton campaign that some of the spending would be covered by cuts and savings she anticipates making in other programs.
Some other caveats: The RNC includes $80-million for a savings bond program for babies that Clinton mentioned as an idea but then dropped. The Spend-O-Meter also fails to mention that some of her proposals already have been put into legislation that is supported by some Republicans in Congress.
Still, in 19 out of 24 examples cited by the RNC, the Spend-O-Meter is on target in describing Clinton's campaign proposals, putting them in the proper context and providing the amount she would spend.
Here's an example of how the RNC does its figuring. The RNC notes that Clinton has proposed an energy investment plan that involves spending $150-billion over 10 years, which would be equal to $15-billion a year. The RNC takes the $15-billion and multiplies by four, the number of years in a presidential term, to arrive at $60-billion. And so, the RNC adds $60-billion to the Spend-O-Meter. (The source for the $150-billion figure is Clinton's campaign Web site, www.hillaryclinton.com.)
The assumption the RNC makes is that Clinton's energy plan is passed by Congress, without amendment, at the very start of her first term. It also assumes that the spending will space out perfectly in year-to-year increments, which almost never happens with federal programs.
The same is true when it comes to Clinton's health care overhaul. She proposes spending $110-billion per year on the plan. The RNC simply multiplies that amount by four and comes up with $440-billion. That assumes the federal government would spend the same amount every year on the program, even though Clinton's proposal isn't all that clear about how the spending would work.
The real fault of the Spend-O-Meter is that it includes Clinton's idea to give each baby born in the United States a $5,000 bond, which could cost some $80-billion over four years. The proposal never went beyond the idea stage, and indeed Clinton's comment about having a million ideas was made in an attempt to explain why she had talked about it but never proposed it, according to the Boston Globe.
An RNC spokesman insisted that Clinton had discussed the baby bond plan on the campaign trail. "That is one that she particularly brought up," said Brian Walton of the RNC.
The RNC also fails to disclose that Clinton has Republican support for a couple of her proposals. The Spend-O-Meter tally includes a Clinton plan to provide $10-billion for education in developing countries over five years. That proposal is included in legislation that Clinton co-sponsored in the Senate with Sen. Gordon Smith, a Republican senator from Oregon.
In the House, a similar bill was introduced by Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., and Rep. Spencer Bachus, an Alabama Republican. The Republican National Committee does not disclose the GOP support of the Clinton plan.
Then there's the $250-million proposal to create a U.S. Public Service Academy. The RNC correctly states that Clinton introduced the bill with some Democrats and mentions Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., as co-sponsors. Shays and Specter are among the more liberal Republicans in Congress.
The RNC does not mention that Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, and Norm Coleman, R-Minn., two less liberal Republicans, also co-sponsored the legislation.
The Clinton campaign disputes the entire notion of the Spend-O-Meter. Campaign spokesman Mo Elleithee said in an e-mail that Clinton has specified how she would pay for every proposal, and cites Clinton's plan to cut 500,000 federal contractors over the next 10 years. Clinton has proposed that cut as a way to pay for her plan to provide universal prekindergarten to all students.
Most of Clinton's proposals do include specific details about how she would pay for the programs. For instance, she would partially pay for her plans to expand access to a college education and create a 401(k) for all Americans by making changes to the estate tax that would affect the wealthy.
And she would pay for her expansion of the National Science Foundation by ending tax breaks for companies that shift jobs overseas. She contends that savings found in her health plans would generate as much as it would spend. The RNC does not talk about any of the means by which Clinton would pay for her programs.
The Spend-O-Meter oversimplifies campaign pledges. It's catchy and has been picked up by blogs and others interested in the presidential campaigns. As a gimmick, it has its flaws. But even when those flaws are taken into account, the folks at the RNC are not being too heavy-handed as their fingers dance on their calculators.
