Poured from a 16.9 oz. bottle
Prominent head slowly settles down leaving a thin layer of foam and minimal lacing.
Beer is a pale orange gold in color. Aroma is a bit underwhelming, but not unpleasant, though it is somewhat lacking in classic banana/clove/yeast notes.
Taste is nice and refreshing, but once again too subdued for my liking.
Very faint citrus and yeast notes are detectable.
Mouthfeel is fuller than I expected with nice tight carbonation keeping things moving along nicely.
Overall this is a lighter take on the style than I prefer but it still is a decent brew.
Would probably serve well as an introduction to the style.

my housemate had this brew ready for me when I got off work. What a treat. anyhow this hefeweisen has a nice golden cloudy glow to it, smells grainy, like a light yeasty barley and wheat, the taste is incredible, light yet full of flavor. Very faint hints of citrus. ITs like your mouth is smelling it.
Mouthfeel is not the best attribute though overall this beer is a 4

Poured into a Celebrator pokal. Pours a light to medium golden amber with a finger of white head with great retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet wheat, lemon, banana, slightly spicy and quite pleasant.Flavor follows, with bready wheat, light lemon citrus and hints of banana. Dry, slightly buttery finish with a hint of hops. Light to medium bodied with nice carbonation. I've been spoiled by Weihenstephaner and approach new hefeweizens with caution. Even when they are good, they seem not to live up to that great beer. This one was not quite up to that flavor standard, but was not dissapointing in any way. Nicely balanced, mildly sweet start and semi-dry finish are perfect for the style. Very nice aroma and tastes great. I'll get this again.

5.2% ABV per the label on my 500ml brown glass bottle. It has a flashy label which initially turned me off to buying it; it looks like a graphic design major went batshit crazy, and doesn't exactly call to mind storied German brewing tradition. But I digress...
BB: 9/14/16 if I'm reading the odd notching system correctly. I picked up this bottle in a Carrefour supermarket in Kardamena, Kos, Greece, and the label has Greek as well as English ad Deutsche text.
Served cold and side-poured into a pilsner glass in my hotel room. Expectations are high given its current ratings.
No bubble show forms as it's poured.
HEAD: 4 fingers wide. White in colour. Okay complexion and consistency. Decent thickness. Not a real full, frothy, or creamy head. Leaves no lacing as it recedes. Retention is above average - about 3-4 minutes.
BODY: Cloudy bright yellow. It's not the hazy unfiltered appearance I look for in a good hefeweizen, and approximates the body of a witbier.
Not a great looking hefeweizen by any stretch, but it's above average outside of style conventions. It has my curiosity.
AROMA: Full fresh wheat, lemon zest, lemon peel, citrusy esters, banana and clove from the yeast/hefe, and clean barley. A fresh, clean, and appealing aroma of average strength. The wheat itself is lovely. I'm looking forward to the first sip. Any hop aromatics are quite tame - which is to style.
No overt alcohol or other off-notes are detectable.
TASTE: Fresh wheat, lemon zest & peel, citrusy esters, and plenty of banana from the yeast. It's pretty much the beer you'd expect based on the aroma, but the clove is much more reticent than anticipated. Interestingly, lemon zest dominates, veering this wheat beer more towards witbier territory.
It's well-balanced and has the trademark simplicity of the style, but lacks the elegance and subtleties of world-class examples thereof.
No alcohol or off-notes are detectable.
It's hard not to like. The quality of the wheat is evident, and when that's the foundation of the beer, it's bound to be good.
TEXTURE: Fresh, crisp, clean, smooth, wet, and refreshing. Light to medium-bodied. Neither too thick nor too thin. Has a good overall presence on the palate. This texture complements the taste rather well, even if the beer is a biteen overcarbonated.
Not oily, astringent, gushed, hot, boozy, harsh, scratchy, or rough.
OVERALL: It's a nice hefeweizen and I'm glad it's available in Greece, but when in Germany I doubt I'd reach for this with other superior hefeweizens on the shelf (Ayinger, Franziskaner, even Erdinger). Absolutely worth trying and very enjoyable. It's not quite the orange-peel heavy type of hefeweizen I personally prefer, but it's not the clove-laden type of hefeweizen either. More a compromise between a hefeweizen and a witbier. Very drinkable.

Gave an inverted pour from a 16.9 oz bottle into a hefeweizen glass.
Nice hazy goldenrod color with a fluffy, foamy 2" head. Settles to about 1/4", leaves persistent spotty lacing.
Smells very "wheaty", lots of fresh ripe banana, a little bit of clove- less than a lot of other hefeweizens I've had. A little bit of a sugary tang I can't quite describe. Smells nice, fresh and inviting.
Tastes of lush wheat, a little lemon, then sweet creamy banana and a touch of bubblegum. It almost tastes like banana pudding. Still, it's not too sweet. Ends with more ripe banana/pudding and some soft wheatiness.
Pretty full bodied for a hef, but soft and smooth. Nicely carbonated, but could maybe stand a bit more. Ends fairly clean.
Overall a well made and pretty well balanced hefeweizen with a bit more going on than your standard malty bananas & clove. Sells for pretty cheap around here too. Not quite as good as Weihenstephaner or Live Oak, but stands out from most hefeweizen offerings.

This distinctive meditation mala (rosary) is made of 108 hematite beads. The beads are strung by hand, imparting the highest level of quality to each individual mala. A single Rudraksha seed serves as the guru bead, the beginning point from which all meditative chants began.
Prayer beads are an indispensable tool for meditation. Each bead is used to count the repetition of a mantra or chant. The number 108 bears spiritual significance across several religions. When a mantra is repeated 108 times, the person meditating is connecting with the spirit of the universe, paying respects in deep humility to that which pervades all life.
Handmade in India: slight variation in tassel color or guru bead color and texture is natural and reflects the organic process behind each individual mala.

Artwork that was named one of the top ten most endangered artifacts in Virginia sits in the basement of a Charlottesville art gallery waiting for conservation. It's one of many pieces the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection is trying to raise money for during an event Wednesday night.
The event is called FLASH: A party and art auction to benefit conservation. It's the first time the collection has hosted such an event, and they hope it will inform the public about conserving and preserving artwork, and help them to raise money to restore some of their own one-of-a kind art pieces.
There will be affordable and more expensive works of art up for bidding during the silent auction. There will also be food, refreshments, and door prizes at the event.
You can also bid on things like your own conservation treatments, and a portrait session where the portrait is printed on archival paper.
All of the money raised will go towards conservation needs, like the estimated $5,000 needed for work on a piece that was on the endangered artifacts list.
"Our collection is considered to be the best collection of Australia Aboriginal art outside of Australia, and there are many historic pieces in the collection, pieces by some of the masters of bark painting and works that are among the cultural heritage of Aboriginal people. So it's important to save those things," said Margo Smith, the director and curator of the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection.
"There's a lot of organic materials in the collection, like bark paintings with natural oakers and over time pigments can flake off of them and they can degrade. That's just part of the aging process, so some things require conservation treatments by an experienced conservator and we're looking to fund those needs," Smith said.
You don't have to go to the event to bid on the items. All of the bidding will take place online, on a website called 501-auctions started by Darden School students. On the website you can place a regular bid, place a maximum bid and have the computer automatically increase the bid for you, or you can simply donate by going to "fund a conservation project."
The event kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday night at the at the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection on Worrell Drive, near Martha Jefferson Hospital.
Tickets are $35 dollars and can be purchased in advanced or at the door.

We heard the mostly positive reaction from the Broncos side, now it's time to weigh in on the Browns perspective of the trade that sent Brady Quinn to the Broncos.
SB Nation's Browns community, Dawgs By Nature, isn't as excited about the trade as the Broncos side.
I still am not thrilled with the thought of "giving up" on Quinn; I guess we'll see how long it is before he takes over for Kyle Orton in Denver. If Josh McDaniels had an interest in Quinn last year and still went out and acquired him this year, I don't think he wants him to be some form of a veteran backup.
The Broncos are reportedly keeping Kyle Orton as the starter but a lot of things can change before September.

Jeff Siegel's Prime Picks for Friday, Jan. 16
I had a hunch the Pick-6 would carry over again today. It did, with $461,236 already in the bank as we attack a sequence (races 3-8) that offers some value without being impossible. I believe we can get past the first leg (3rd race) using just two horses, #1 Recoil and #6 Tommys Luck. Recoil returns to the claiming ranks and switches from turf to the main track after flashing early speed and weakening late in all of his recent outings. I'll give him a chance to snap back based on his form at Santa Anita last year and he could get loose and very brave if he breaks running from the rail. Tommys Luck finished second at this level over the Hollywood Park turf last month but has had success over the synthetic in the past so I don't think the surface switch will bother him. He does his best running from off the pace and Bejarano should have him rolling in the final furlong. This will give us potentially the best speed (Recoil) and the best closer (Tommys Luck). The 4th race is a bottom rung maiden claimer and while it's tempting to spread this race, there seems very little depth to the contention. #9 Elusive Chief returns off a layoff for Bob Hess and drops to his lowest level ever and the solid works and the presence of Bejarano coupled with decent back speed figures clearly make him the horse to beat. Stranger danger is represented by #5 Gold Stock, who has worked like he can run some for his debut and might be worth throwing in. The same can be said for #4 Tribunal Blues, whose trainer, Mike Harrington, has been known to crack with first time starters. I don't think anybody else matters. Two that caught the eye in the 5th race are #1 Alex's Wish and #4 Saucey Officer. The former exits a fairly hot race for the level and should be dangerous from off the pace while the latter is dropping into a soft (restricted) claimer for the first time and could wake up against this considerably easier field. I really don't trust #10 No Cream Or Sugar (she's 1-for-15) but a good outside draw, the switch to Bejarano and the route to sprint angle make her a contender, I suppose. I feel fairly confident that we'll get out of the 6th race using three horses, #1 Kaptain Kordough, #5 Magic Launch, and #8 A Flicker of Light. Kaptain Kordough stretches out for the first time, lands the good rail and switches to turf. He was finishing full of run when he ran into a roadblock in midstretch in his last start and today removes blinkers for the first time. He should be prominent throughout. Magic Launch is a filly tackling the boys and she's going to need to make a forward move but this is just her third lifetime start so improvement is likely. A Flicker of Light, is another stretching out for the first time while leaving the filly ranks and if she can shake loose early she might take them a long way. In the featured 7th race, #6 Onetimeatbandcamp could be the single that most tickets require. Exiting a fast, highly-rated dash in which the Kruljac-trained gelding finished strongly to be second, he lands the comfortable outside post and in a race that likely will be have soft splits, should be within striking range without having to be used. I think he can produce the last run. I hoping to get out of the 8th race using #3 Voodoo's Vision and #11 Lucky Losty. Voodoo's Vision, from the red hot Julio Canani barn, should be part of the pace and won't have to improve much to keep on going in a well below par field for the level. Lucky Losty is a first-time-in-a-claimer play off a layoff, and with Bejarano aboard he becomes a "must use" even though his one and only good race came at Pomona. Good luck!

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — Nelson Mandela was one of the towering figures of the 20th century, a man who saw that the way to end one of the most brutally repressive regimes in history was not violence but honest negotiations based on truth and reconciliation. Mandela died Thursday at the age of 95.
People around the world are mourning his passing -- and with good reason. Mandela's dignity, grace and charismatic leadership gave him a stature far beyond what might be expected for a politician from a nation so far outside the West's sphere of interest. Viewed as a terrorist and a traitor by some, revered as a patriot and liberator by others, Mandela's lifelong struggle for freedom in South Africa commands at least respect if not outright admiration.
Mandela led South Africa away from the apartheid regime of white-minority rule to a democratic government and in 1994 became his country's first freely elected president. Mandela walked away from the presidency after his one five-year term was up, preferring the role of elder statesman to that of the power-mad tyrants so common in Africa's less fortunately governed nations.
While president, Mandela strove for national unity and spared South Africa much of the bloodshed that tormented other African nations shaking off their colonial past.
Britain's The Telegraph newspaper compared Mandela favorably to Winston Churchill.
"Like Britain's wartime leader, Mandela appeared as a man of destiny who saved his country at the hour of its greatest peril," the Telegraph wrote in its obituary.
Mandela in his early years was one of the founders of the youth wing of African National Congress, a sometimes violent liberation movement allied with communist forces. Mandela later was a leader of the militant wing of the ANC and directed its largely ineffective bombing campaign. For this activity, Mandela was arrested and convicted of sabotage and conspiracy to overthrow the government in 1964. He was sentenced to life in prison at hard labor. In later years, leaders in the white-minority government would struggle to find a way to release him while saving face.
In prison, Mandela continued his struggle against apartheid and gained international celebrity. He earned praise from world leaders as diverse as Britain's Margaret Thatcher and France's Francois Mitterand. In 1990, after having declined offers of freedom in exchange for renouncing his struggle against apartheid, Mandela was released from prison.
"As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison," Mandela said after his release.
Together with South African President F.W. de Klerk, Mandela set the conditions for the transition from apartheid regime to multi-party democracy. The two men were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1994, Mandela became his country's first president elected by all its people.
As president, Mandela committed himself to national unity and reconciliation, rather than vengeance for the decades of oppressive apartheid rule. In doing so, Mandela built a sense of nationhood among all South Africans and avoided what would likely have been a bloody civil war.
"If this man wasn't there," Archbishop Desmond Tutu told The Telegraph, "the whole country would have gone up in flames."
The contrast with neighboring Zimbabwe, where a years-long civil war soaked the former Rhodesia in blood and corrupt tyrant Robert Mugabe lives in luxury while his people starve, is telling.
Mandela fought for years against a regime that was morally unsupportable, spent 27 years incarcerated at the hands of his oppressors yet emerged from prison without bitterness to lead his nation to freedom and justice. He is indeed worthy of our admiration and respect.

One of the toughest things about these debates is to try to figure out who's really telling the truth, and who's stretching it.
There were long stretches of this debate that only a wonky expert could have loved, in part, because Mitt Romney - who hasn't offered many details of his plans for taxes and health care - began offering them on the fly.
At times, the president seemed confounded. Romney insisted that he would generate jobs through his tax cuts on businesses.
The two candidates actually had a similar, overriding message: "Trust me, that other guy's plans and numbers don't add up."
Watch how the conversation played out in the video above.

Spinach Flatbreads Recipe
Instead of the same old side of garlic bread, serve up wedges of toasty, mouthwatering Spinach Flatbreads from Kristen Westbrook in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "I always seemed to have spinach that would spoil before I could use it all," she explains. "So I started making these delicious and quick flatbreads. They're low-fat, work well with almost any vegetable I have on hand and can double as a light lunch."Kristen Westbrook, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- 2/3 cup sliced onion
- 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 4 whole pita breads
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- In a small skillet, saute onion in 2 teaspoons oil until tender; set aside.
- Place pitas on an ungreased baking sheet; brush with remaining oil. Layer with spinach, onion and cheese. Sprinkle with pepper. Bake at 425° for 6-8 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 4 servings.

Since our Symbian signed certificate has expired, we (at mobilityCraft) have decided to save the $200 and try the new free OVI signing, as we usually publish only to the OVI store.
So as a test app we took one of our published flash games (masterPis), improved it a bit, generated a new version, added inner-active ads (not our first app with these ads) and uploaded to OVI for signing & QA.
Prior to uploading to OVI we have tested it on 5800, C7 & N8, all working fine when selfSigned.
I'll also mention that the application is using the device's sensors (accelerometer).
Anyway, the application was in the store within 2 days (!). Once we saw that, we have downloaded it for testing and found out that:
1. The application pops the "user data" security warning (which was always removed when we used Symbian signed) on 5800, but works fine afterwards.
2. The application does not pop the security warning on C7 & N8, BUT the accelerometer sensors are not functioning, hence - no game...
The game was immediately removed from the store, and in the last two weeks we are trying to communicate with Nokia without success. They claim that signed Flash apps always have this security warning and they don't know why the accelerometers are not working on the new devices. Not a really a helpful answer.
Did anyone have these issues before? Any idea? We are seriously considering switching back to the paid Symbian signed...
I've posted this in the OVI Publish DiBo as well, so forgive me if you read it twice…

Students engaged youth in educational games to promote healthy food choices based on knowledge of nutrition at Children and Youth Day at the Hawaii State Capitol.
Our NUR290 students conducted community-based participatory research (CBPR) at a wide variety of sites across the island, working with partners such as our legislators at the Hawaii State Capitol, Palolo Homes, and the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs. Students surveyed the community to determine the health and health care needs of Oahu residents. While the adult respondents were kept busy with the survey, we engaged keiki in educational games. Through "Food Twister" and other activities, they learned about nutrition and healthy food choices.
Students conducted interviews or talk-story sessions with elders at our partner facilities. These precious oral histories were then "gifted" to the edlers and their families. In some cases, formal presentations were delivered to staff at our partner organizations, reporting on the highlights of our findings and interview aggregates.

I'be been using the Rest API's and am curious as to how they should behave?
If I have my mws turned off, they seem to return HTML and not an XML response? This means when I try and programmatically parse the XML (using PHP), if the server is off I run into all sorts of problems.
I thought one way around this would be to validate the response from the server to check that its proper XML, so I run the following php code to validate:
//must have the header otherwise response is not recognised as XML
$xdoc = new DomDocument;
$xmlfile = 'https://robdunfey.mymobilesite.net/rest/presence/location';
$xmlschema = 'http://mymobilesite.net/schema/presence/1.1.0/location.xsd';
//Load the xml document in the DOMDocument object
//Validate the XML file against the schema
if ($xdoc->schemaValidate($xmlschema)) {
print "$xmlfile is valid.\n";
} else {
print "$xmlfile is invalid.\n";
With the MWS off it doesn't validate, progress, but...
even when I have the GPS on with a fixed location and accuracy, and web server switched on, the XML response still doesn't validate, giving the following response:
Warning: DOMDocument::schemaValidate() [domdocument.schemavalidate]: Element 'accuracy': '66.1796417236328' is not a valid value of the local atomic type. in /home/gisconsu/public_html/mws/test.php on line 10
https://robdunfey.mymobilesite.net/r...sence/location is invalid.
I'm just hacking around with PHP and am no authority, but this seems odd behaviour? I would have expected a valid XML response to always be returned from the web request? Just thought I would post for your information.

I know that there have been a lot of articles that have talked along a similar line but I would like to talk about more than just 'Goals & Assists'.
That would be a good place to start though. We all hope that Hazard will be able to score another 20 goals this coming season but we need to take a look at how he scored them this year. If you look at his 20 goals in Ligue 1 this year, 8 of those goals were from penalties. Any game that Lampard will be playing, he will still be our primary penalty taker but I have a feeling that, especially after Torres not getting picked for the penalties in Munich, that Torres will be the next in line. I have a feeling that it was probably one of the ways they would have reassured him about his future at the club was to make him the second primary penalty taker to start scoring more goals. So I would think that you could take those 8 goals off the total for the 12-13 season. However, 4 of those penalties were won by Hazard himself which would take his assist tally up to 20 for the league. It is good to know that he is a very accomplished penalty taker at such a young age though because, as Moscow and Munich showed, it could be very useful to have a few quality penalty takers.
Hazard will thrive on playing 1-2s with Torres as that is where a lot of his goals and assists came from for Lille this past season. I think Hazard is exactly the kind of player than Torres needs behind him to start to look really dangerous and pile on the goals. One of our biggest issues was that if a team could effectively keep Mata under wraps then we would start to struggle for creativity and ideas when breaking down defenses. Ramires helped to offer another element to this with his blistering pace but if Mata/Ramires was not playing, and the other was not having a good game then we would struggle. Now with 2 players essentially signed to support Torres, it will be much harder to neutralize all of them. Hazard might even be able to have more freedom this coming year, as he did when he was at Lille. When defending against Lille it was easy to know where most of the damage was going to come from. Similarly to when playing against Real or Barca, if you could control Ronaldo/Messi then you were in with a good shot. I feel that it was the same thing for Hazard at Lille and, while he will still be one of the stars of the show at Chelsea, he is going to find more freedom as defenses wont be able to leave Mata and Ramires to do as they please. Along these lines, I think that Hazard will actually be able to increase his assists tally to 25-30 for the coming season.
Hazard also racked up 4 assists from set pieces last season. While Lampard and Drogba have been the undisputed top dogs when it comes to set pieces for Chelsea, the times they are a changing. Mata has stepped up with good crossing and shots for set pieces suiting the left footer. Hazard will be able to offer another dangerous element here with a view to taking over as the main right footed free kick taker. Likewise his delivery from corners was top notch and i think that he will be relishing the chance to float in some corners to a very dangerous headering side.
Mata put up very good stats of 12 goals and 21 assists for his first season at Chelsea. You might think that Hazard will end up taking some of those away from him but i think it will be the opposite. Mata and Hazard will be able to get a few goals between themselves as well as I think their touch and style is very complimentary to each other.
We will definitely score a lot more goals this season with the addition of Hazard and if you look at the stats Manchester City scored almost 30 more goals than us. He will relieve the pressure on a few other players and offer something very tough to handle when attacking. I think that it was a choice between Kagawa and Hazard in terms of who we would sign to fill the position. Kagawa would have been cheaper and probably offers more commercial advantage, being able to pull in a lot of asian supporters. Hazard is however the better of the two and i think that we are getting exactly what we paid for. His style, aggression and skills remind me Ronaldo, not Messi, and if we can use that explosive unpredictability this coming season, then we will be fighting for the title.

To lose weight and keep it off, you've gotta stick with it—Monday through Sunday. These tips make it a cinch.
WEEKEND THINK Eating and entertaining go hand in hand
HEALTHIER SPURGE Plan some activities, not meals
When you eat with friends, you consume 50% more than you do alone, found a Pennsylvania State University study. Researchers suspect that it's not the food but a tendency to lengthen the meal to keep the good times going. Instead, shift your notion of fun to nonfood activities. You likely have a few favorites that don't involve eating—build on these until you shift the balance from drinks and dinner to window-shopping or visiting a new art exhibit. If you do want to grab a bite, stick to lunch—it's easier to eat light, and you probably won't order cocktails.
WEEKEND THINK I run around all week; now I just want to kick back
HEALTHIER SPURGE Try a little active relaxation
Some decompressing is essential, but planting yourself on the couch for hours can lead to trouble. A long stretch of inactivity can inspire compulsive nibbling, especially if boredom is one of your overeating triggers, says Gullo. And the immobility quickly adds up: Skip your regular 1-mile walk, add those extra 222 calories you tend to eat on weekends—and that alone can equal a gain of about 7 pounds a year! Sure, you can indulge in afternoon channel surfing, but not all day long. Impose a time limit; 2 hours is fine. And use that extra time to do something good for yourself, like chopping veggies for dinner that night and snacks to take to work the next week. Also, don't forget to work downtime into your week so you don't feel as exhausted come the weekend.
WEEKEND THINK A predinner cocktail is par for the course
HEALTHIER SPURGE Drink it during the meal
With fewer responsibilities and no early morning wake-up calls, even weekday teetotalers don't think twice about a cocktail before dinner—and then another while they eat. The problem: "Alcohol breaks down inhibitions, so it's harder to make healthy food choices when you do sit down," says Gary Foster, PhD, director of the Center for Obesity Research and Education at Temple University. A glass of Cabernet and a few handfuls of mixed nuts while making dinner or waiting to be seated can add up to more than 600 calories—and that's even before the appetizer. Instead, have the wine with your meal, and save added calories by swapping fries for veggies or sharing the lower-cal sorbet, not the chocolate cake. Choose high-quality drinks you'll want to savor, such as vintage wine or single malt scotch, over high-cal fruity concoctions, and sub in one or two club sodas with lime.

Awarded the Grand Prize Gold Medal, Stephanie Eddy's Sunset at Bogota is a wireworking masterpiece that captured the judges' hearts and votes. Reflecting on the creative process, Stephanie said, "I didn't have anything in mind when I sat down to make the necklace. I wanted to see where the journey took me. The focal from Susan Clark was an inspiration, like a kaleidoscope with sun rays coming out. I followed that to the carnival atmosphere. I was looking for different ways to explore wire weaving, adding beads and creating dimension. Two ancient techniques came together to create the wire design elements--a variety of Viking Knit techniques and French wire beading. Contests have allowed me to explore."

Arts professionals to share perspectives
Kingston arts professionals will present their curatorial perspectives at a unique event on Tuesday, March 31 from 7 to 9 pm at the Union Gallery on the first floor of Stauffer Library.
The goal of the event is to demystify how curating and directing contemporary art is influenced by the different venues in which curators and artistic directors work, says host and co-presenter Jocelyn Purdie, director of the Union Gallery and independent curator/artist.
Other presenters are Jan Allen, chief curator and curator of Contemporary Art at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Michael Davidge, artistic program director of the Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre and Sandra Whitton, owner-director of the Sandra Whitton Gallery.
"All of these venues operate under different mandates," says Ms. Purdie. The type of venue, as well as the curator's perspective, determine what they present [in a show] and how it is presented, she says.
"In conversations with artists, students and the general public, there appears to be a lack of understanding of the field. Therefore it seemed a good opportunity to clarify this somewhat, and reveal how these different perspectives on contemporary art come together to weave a rich and vibrant arts community here in Kingston."
The panelists will also share examples of some exhibitions and projects. A moderated discussion will follow the presentations.
For details, contact Jocelyn Purdie, 613-533-3171, firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com

- Love The MooringOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/31/2014My boyfriend & I dined here Labor Day weekend on Sunday night. We requested a table outside & that's exactly what we got! We absolutely loved our table overlooking the water. It was in its own little corner, very private. The service & food were outstanding. This was our first time to Newport & would definitely eat here again in the future.Special Features:
- PerfectOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/31/2014We enjoyed dinner here on Labor Day weekend. The service was amazing, the food was incredible and the view... We were seated on the deck overlooking the harbor. It was perfect. Highly recommend. The Mooring is a must if you are anywhere near Newport.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will Be BackOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/31/2014Made a Lunch reservation at The Mooring when I was in Newport for a Wedding. Glad I made the decision to eat here and will definitely stop here again next time I am in town. Great service, great atmosphere, specifically out on the deck/patio and a great overall energy. Lobster Croissant is a must-order.Special Features:
- Lisa Lisa NJOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/30/2014We were seated immediately for our reserved time. The wait staff was excellent as well as the food. This restaurant is definitely not a tourist trap that I'm sure everyone has experienced. Can't wait to go back. Thanks to everyone at The Mooring.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Newport GemOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014I visited Newport for the first time and made a reservation and The Mooring. The outdoor deck looks over the pier and the service and food was so good. Wish they had a shrimp dish but the salmon and pork were both tasty!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great nightOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014From my dirty martini, to the raw bar, to the grilled scallops, 4 stars on all!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It's not about the food...FoodfinderVIPDined on 8/30/2014Beautiful restaurant, great outdoor seating w/ great views, but food was tasteless, boring, and everything on menu was not quite what we were looking for. Choices in appetizers were fair, but popular bag of donuts tasted fishy and you needed the dipping sauce for any flavor. Raw clams were decent. Tuna tartare needed brightness. Pasta entree was fair. Seafood pieces were plentiful, but lacking taste. Sandwhich plates were awful! Open turkey was dry, tasteless. Cod sandwhich had too much breaking to fish. Did not stay for dessert. We have tried this restaurant repeatedly over the years, because is seats big groups, and has a great view. But come for drinks, maybe the fresh bread. Too many other choices for good food in Newport.Special Features:
- Food's OK but not as good as it wasglh3VIPDined on 8/30/2014The main room and patio are lovely and the service is attentive and friendly, but the food has gone downhill. The menu rarely changes and what few changes that have occurred were inferior to what they replaced. Given the prices, the food should be better.Special Features:
- Oasis in Newport storm of peopleOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014Labor Day weekend in Newport is a climatic time for finding a place to take your family for late lunch on Saturday. The town is mobbed with tourists, residents, and boaters. Parking is at a premium and usually requires a 15 minute plus walk to any destination near Thames Street. The Mooring was a perfect choice especially when members of your party have limited mobility. There is parking available outside the front door on the wharf and the Mooring accepts reservations (very few others nearby do). It may be pricey; but it is sure worth it when you want to insure all have a good time and great food! The lobster salad is prepared perfectly!Special Features:
- If you haven't tried this...do!OhioFoodieVIPDined on 8/30/2014Once we got past the grumpy bartender and to our table the experience was near perfection. Our corner table on the upper patio was private, quiet, and the view was lovely. Our waitress was attentive. The food was fabulous.Special Features:
- Great seafoodIsaGVIPDined on 8/29/2014I love Mooring, first time in Newport. I really love seafood, and Mooring has it all.Great service and scenic view!!Special Features:
- britboy28Dined on 8/28/2014The butter was cold not soft when we got bread, our server wasn't present all time, beet salad looked like salad from stop shop. The pork tenderloin was amazing and cheesecake and lemonade dessert wasn't something to talk about, overall I don't think I'll be coming backSpecial Features:
- Very good but busyAmbienceVIPDined on 8/27/2014The food was very good. They were extremely busy so had to wait for service at times. The waitress did her best.Special Features:
- Ship Shape at the MooringGourmegDined on 8/26/2014The ambience is warm and welcoming. The restaurant is popular and was quite full on a Tuesday night. The Mooring offers a raw bar, which was very good. I had a chicken dish which was very tasty, although the restaurant has a large fish selection. The service is very good and our waiter Mark was very helpful with suggestions and information. There are some interesting choices for desserts that were yummy. When in Newport check out the Mooring, but make a reservation.Special Features:
- SCargoDined on 8/26/2014This very popular place lives up to it's reputation. Excellent food, drinks, and scenic location. The service was great and very friendly. Don't go without a reservation! Try the "bag of donuts"! A perfect ending to our stay in Newport.Special Features:
- Wonderful!!NewbietoNewportDined on 8/26/2014Our first time to Newport and tried the Mooring Restaurant for our daughters 16th birthday. We have a beautiful table outdoors as the sun went down. Food was delicious and service was exceptional!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Delightful EveningGoto83Dined on 8/26/2014Requested and received an outdoor table for seven people. The service and food were very good. Along with the terrific weather the scenery with the yachts in the background was extra special. The service was especially good with Katie leading the way. Our food was delicious and the raw bar appetizers were awesome. It was a fabulous night!Special Features:
- Fresh food Friendly waitstaffOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/26/2014Visiting Newport for two days - dined here first night and liked it so much we had dinner again the second evening. Fresh seafood prepared creatively - all ingredients fresh. View of harbor while dining is beautiful Both servers were friendly provided great service. Would highly recommend.Special Features:
- Seafood Lovers ParadiseWanDaFullDined on 8/24/2014Arrived about 2 hours before sunset. You'll want to be careful to bring shades and a hat since the sun does come into the restaurant. Great to watch the boats come in and the sun set.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not quite what we were expectingOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/23/2014Great view and "feel," but very noisy when there's a full house. Food was very good, but portion sizes were a bit lacking and the seafood fritters didn't contain a lot of seafood. Drinks were good, but smallish and didn't seem to contain a lot of alcohol. Waiter was attentive, but food was not quick in arriving (not his fault). It was served hot though, which is more important than timing.Special Features:
- Great ExperiencetwoldfartsDined on 8/23/2014My husband and I took some time out of our busy schedules to spend some us time...We totally enjoyed everything from the bread in a bag, the chowder that was a smooth as silk to our main entrees..the waitress was wonderful also..Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food is average/fairCJK123Dined on 8/23/2014The location and ambiance is good for groups and families. It was very noisy whether sitting inside or out. Service was outstanding, my entree was not so. I had "fresh" striped bass which was thin, way over cooked and coated with some crusty mixture, was supposed to be pan roasted. Not a good way to serve fresh caught fish. The manager was understanding enough and did the right thing removing it from my bill. That action alone would bring me back for a second chance.Special Features:
- Beautiful settingMaureenVIPDined on 8/23/2014We asked for a table outside as it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon; we waited a little but the view of the harbor was great. The only down side was that as the sun set it became a little too hot, but we had finished our dinner anyway. I had the crab cake and my husband had the scallop chowder for appetizers; both were delicious. For the entrée I had the Bass special, served with some root vegetables and light sauce. My husband had the Tuna which was served with a small amount of summer squash. We ordered a bottle of wine; the first selection was not available but we selected a nice red that went well with our meal. Our server was attentive and pleasant.Special Features:
- Very Nice - just go !TomCDined on 8/22/2014From the hostess to the bus boys and everyone in between - excellent, attentive, professional, service ! The food was excellent - no criticism possible. The menu was varied enough but maintains its allegiance to the sea (after all you are sitting a few feet above salt water!) Sure it was pricey but if you're on a budget go to Wendy's. The wine list was immense but presented in an easily sorted data base format on a tablet. Dessert was excellent but not so huge that you regretted ordering it... perfect sweet to end an excellent meal. JUST GOSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FantasticWilliamTDined on 8/22/2014Everything about our dinner was great. Meal, wine and service were perfect. Dan was great, the bag of donuts lived up to its billing, seafood salad was even better. Well done!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- must tryandrebVIPDined on 8/22/2014Went for lunch. Folks were getting turned away or wait for a half hour to hour wait. Maitre D got us a great table on deck by water. Excellent raw bar! Service was good and food awesome. Looks like a great bar if there are no Open Table reservations available.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Need More iPadsOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/21/2014Food was great but with a group of 6 it would have been nice to have an additional beverage list. Maybe have back ups on paper? I understand things change quickly and i love the details you can get about the wines and beers but it was just tricky to get it around to everyone at the table. I feel like it made us add 15 mins to our ordering time because everyone needed a turn for the most part.Special Features:
- HerrDocDined on 8/21/2014Excellent meal, as always. Scallop chowder was thick, creamy, with lots of sea scallops - wonderful. Salmon entre was excellent, while the fish & chips was good, but more than could be consumed at one sitting. Great wine list. Thumbs up all around.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dinnerwribitVIPDined on 8/21/2014I normally don't leave reviews but the food here was excellent. It came out super hot which I find most places it is the plate that is hot from sitting under the lights! Not here! The sides were great! I have a shellfish allergy and they really took the time to be sure that my food was perfect. Will most definatly return here again and soon!
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014The food was very bland tasting. I had the swordfish and it had no flavor. Food is definitely no worth the prices. Would never recommend this restaurant.
- Great eats!DeeeeeDined on 8/21/2014Was not disappointed. Love love love the food and service!! Pricy but worth it!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good seafood Great ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/21/2014Made reservations through Open Table for lunch, requested outdoor seating and even though there was a wait for people walking in, we were able to sit outside which was very nice. I ordered the salmon BLT wrap which was excellent, my husband ordered the fish & chips which were very good as well as my daughter's shrimp w/crab sauce and a mango salsa. One of my daughter's does not like seafood except for tuna so she had a difficult time finding something to eat on the menu. The tuna sounded great but she is allergic to peppers and although it is not stated in the menu, after asking the waiter, learned that it had a lot of peppers, maybe they should add that to the description. The calamari appetizer was great, tender and fresh.Special Features:
- Great restaurantgreateats24Dined on 8/20/2014Good food presented well great service and atmosphere Highly recommend for any visitSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and allergy awareAllergymomDined on 8/20/2014It's always difficult traveling with a young child who has a life threatening food allergy. Meal time can create a little anxiety in us all. And that's when we are relieved to not only find a non-chain restaurant with great food, but one that is also very aware of food allergies. Because we made our reservation through OpenTable and made note of the allergy, the restaurant was already aware when we arrived. Our server went out of her way to explain how they would protect my daughter from her allergen and what she could eat from the menu. She also made note that a pepper mixture for bread dipping contained an allergen - something I had even forgotten about. It's one of the relaxing dining experiences we have had AND the food was fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- the place to eat in NewportscottieDined on 8/19/2014It was my mother's 91 birthday. We had an excellent table. The service from host, wait staff, to bus boy was friendly and simply well done. They even handled the scooter. We have very good food. I highly recommend The Mooring.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomeGila1216Dined on 8/18/2014Everything was delicious and so fresh. We had the oysters, mussels, clam chowder, stuffed lobster and brownie dessert. All incredible. Our waitress was a little slow and didn't come around often but very sweet non the less.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expected a little bit moreloukDined on 8/18/2014We did expect a little more from the food to be honest. Although the appetizers were good the entrees not so much. I ordered stripped bass with turnips and potatoes. The fish way overcooked (burned and dry) with a sweet sauce that did not go well at all. The Portuguese cod was a great dish. Everything else was excellent, the wine selection, ambiance, exceptional service and the scenic view.Special Features:
- It was fantastic!bjd15Dined on 8/17/2014We were seated immediately in a great spot. Our waitress, Ashley, was extremely nice. My husband's filet was spectacular. My tuna was perfect! We were celebrating a special event in our lives and dining here made it all the more memorable!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/17/2014Pricy but very good. You could not ask for a better view.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/17/2014This was our second visit to The Moorings. Service was excellent and staff was very attentive and accommodating but not pushy or overbearing. We were seated immediately upon arrival at a table of our choice. Food was very well prepared and presented. Would definitely go again.Special Features:

Bill McKibben - opening up space for change on the scale that physics requires
Bill McKibben has followed up his Maths of global warming with a great new article in Rolling Stone titled A Call to Arms: An Invitation to Demand Action on Climate Change.
McKibben and 350.org.nz are planning a huge demonstration in New York to coincide with the September meeting of the United Nations.
McKibben on Barack Obama.
Sure, he's imposed new mileage standards for cars, but he's also opened vast swaths of territory to oil drilling and coal mining, which will take us past Saudi Arabia and Russia as the world's biggest petro producer.
McKibben on deniers and delayers.
In a rational world, no one would need to march. In a rational world, policymakers would have heeded scientists when they first sounded the alarm 25 years ago. But in this world, reason, having won the argument, has so far lost the fight. The fossil-fuel industry, by virtue of being perhaps the richest enterprise in human history, has been able to delay effective action, almost to the point where it's too late.
McKibben on the message from the scientists
"What exactly don't you understand about what we've been telling you for a quarter-century?"

Germany's electricity - renewable vs thermal
Tom exclaimed to me the other day "Solar electricity generation has really taken off in Germany!"
I thought I would obtain the data from the US EIA international web page and see for myself.
So yes from that chart, I see that solar generation has gone from zero in the early 1990s to 20 billion kilowatt hours in 2011. And both wind and biomass generation contributed more than 40 billion kilowatt hours in 2011.
But, Germany's thermal generation (meaning fossil fuels, coal, gas and oil) has been consistently over 300 billion kilowatt hours for the lat 30 years. There was a slight dip in 2008 and 2009, which I would say reflects the Eurozone debt crisis rather than the European Emissions Trading Schme. Then an increase in 2010.
So Germany's thermal generation (read "coal") still dwarves (or is that "dwarfs"?) the renewables.
And German coal consumption seems pretty steady at over 200 million tonnes consumed annually since 2000.

Friday night climate change and emissions trading reading
What do economists think is the best policy to adopt to respond to climate change? Hat-tip to the Environmental Economics blog.
The New York Times discusses energy taxes as tools to help tackle climate change. Hat tip again to the Environmental Economics blog.
The Davos World Economic Forum is not ignoring climate change. They have commissioned a report saying that curbing climate change will cost $700 billion a year.
Leo Hickman of the Guardian concludes you can't assume your flying emissions are 'offset' just because the EU has an ETS.
A UBS analyst concludes that the emission allowances (emission permits/units/credit) in the European Union emissions trading scheme are "worthless" without a change in the rules to tighten supply and curb the record glut of excess allowances.
According to UBS, the European Commission's strategy for the glut is to reduce the supply of allowances into the market by postponing the sale of 900 million allowances from the 2013-2015 period to 2019-2020. This is being called "backloading".
However, "The European Commission, the bloc's regulatory arm, will not get support from governments for its plan to temporarily cut oversupply by delaying auctions of some permits"
Consequently, the "EU nations and the region's parliament have two options now: to "sit back and do nothing and see the market crash" or to support the short-term rescue plan to backload allowances".

Sports Illustrated Big Ten preview
So, funny how the experts have the same projections as most optimistic NU fans? I really do think this is a realistic projection, higher than my prediction, but very reasonable. I do find it a bit interesting that majority of projections from fans and media have NU losing 1 non-conf game. To be honest, I'm more worried about the conference season than I am the non-conf season.
