Rated 5 out of 5 by joeypalms nice place nice people the staff goes above and beyond great job keep it up May 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joey2 Christmas Vacation Our December weekend stay was fantastic! We took advantage of the restaurant and lounge facilities numerous times with great success. The room was perfect and when we noticed a problem with the in-room coffee maker, the housekeeper replaced the unit immediately. Everyone was friendly and accommodating and we would definitely recommend the hotel to everyone. The Army was having their annual Christmas Ball during our stay and somehow we didn't get in each other's way at all! Well done! December 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by sylpay Excellent experience It was our 40th anniversary and had asked upon reserving if it were possible that we would like a room with a harbour view. When we chacked in, she said that she was sorry that a harbour view room wasn't available, but that they would provide free garage parking for us. This was wonderful since there was a snowstorm that night. They also sent a platter of fresh strawberries to our room and wished us a Happy anniversary. The room was extremely clean and the bed was very comfortable. December 31, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Spike1 Great Hotel and Location From the check-in to the check-out the staff was very friendly and accomodating. The location is perfect to park the car for the weekend and walk the town. So many shops and restuarants to explore. The only issue we had was the champagne I ordered to be in the room, was not there and was never delivered. So after an hour I called and cancelled the order. That was a little disappointing and this had happened to my parents 4 years ago so that has not improved. (Need to work on this.) June 14, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Vic2004 Nice location but rooms are below average This hotel is nicely situated but rooms are diappointing. Our room on the club level left much to be desired: dark marks on the carpet; smallest bathroom that I have ever seen; outside noise from hallway was heard clearly in room; hallway access and room are in need of a renovation. There is only one elevator servicing the club level so be prepared for 3-5 minute wait. Ther lobby and view of port is impressive. Staff was helpful when asking for restaurant and other information August 20, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Guss12 Do not book your conference here. The hotel is centrally located for walking around town. Parking is a problem, even with their access to an open lot next door and their own garage. Staff was helpful and friendly. The conference rooms were extremely uncomfortable and the temperature in the rooms were unbearable. I would not recommend holding your conference at this location. April 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KDBeach This hotel has everything you could want. My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this hotel - we were given a gift certificate to stay here and a gift certificate for a local restaurant. We used the pool, fitness center and went to the bar in the evening after our dinner at the local restaurant to have after dinner drinks. We've stayed here before and enjoy the area. I'd recommend anyone to stay here. Staff is great! March 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ladysuper One of our favorites This hotel is one of our favorites! It is located right in the downtown area. You can walk to all the nice local shops so easily. Rooms are large and very comfortable. The place is quiet for a great night's sleep. The Club level is great with a terrific staff. The staff at the registration desk are also helpful and kind. The food is excellent throughout the hotel. There is valet parking in addition to regular parking. The fitness area meets all your needs. January 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by maine11 dissapointed we stayed at the condo unit rooms 507 then transferred to 516 hoping the other room was better but it turned out that both rooms were dusty, smelly and poorly maintained.hot water supply is insufficient, the sofas are ugly looking. relayed our dismay to the front desk. Stayed at the main hotel before and was satisfied. unfortunately choosing the condo unit this time was a mistake. we could have stayed at the one bedroom suite for a cheaper price and a better experience. December 17, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gabyste Perfect weekend If you happen to be close to Portsmouth, NH this hotel is perfect to spend a nice weekend in a relaxing atmosphere, and a few steps to the city's downtown to go for a delicious local food speciality. April 21, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Dickens Didn't get what we paid for Made Club-level reservation on website, upon check-in we were given a regular room. I didn't realize the error because I didn't know what the Club Level distinction was. At check-out, I questioned the charge for our dining room breakfasts, and was told breakfasts were only included inside the Club level. "But I booked the Club Level", I said. So we paid a premium for a Club room that we didn't get, and paid for 2included breakfasts . They partial-credited a breakfast, January 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by mik2626 in need of updating I found the room I had quite small, windows didn't open, but they had screens in them that obscured the view. April 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BillandLill70 Fun in the snow We celebrated our Honda dealers owners birthday at your facility. I almost wasn't able to get a special reserved rate because I called later than the cut off date. No problem, I spoke to Alexandra (Allie) at the front desk and she was able to get a great rate for me and my daughter for the whole weekend !!! She also hooked us up with a dog sled ride at the end of our stay on Sunday!!! It snowed really hard on the night of the party. No problem the valet service was fantastic. The facilities and party for our owner went off without a hitch. I strongly suggest travelers sample one of the seacoasts best hotels. Me and my daughter Lillian are in your fan club. Bill Bradley Honda Barn Stratham PS I also contacted the GM of the hotel to thank him. Mr Cartwright got back to me the same day. Very impressive Rob I hope there is a Crosstour in your future. ***** 5 stars February 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kate95 Sheraton Harborside Never Disappoints! As always, we had a fantastic stay. Everything was perfect on the club floor. A special shout out for Vivian, who runs the club lounge as if it's her own personal restaurant. She greets everyone in the morning with a smile and personal service that starts your day out right! Every hotel staff member we came in contact with was cordial and helpful. For anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of staying here, the location is great...park your car and walk everywhere! April 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bigt4u610 Location, location, location!! I didn't give it 5 stars only because the room was a bit smaller than what my wife and I are used to, but the location was absolutely second to none!! Everything that you needed was literally only a block or two away. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Also, they do have a charge for parking ($10 across the street or $15 for the garage). I recommend spending the extra $5 for the garage as it's secure and not to mention dry (as it rained the day we left). September 7, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sjh1 Luxurious lobby but that is where it ends We stayed on the club floor which seemed like a nice extra in booking description. Club room was small dark and uninviting. Hor deurves were ok, more like snacks to fill you up rather than wow your taste buds. Room was clean but very cramped with a tiny bathroom. Pool area was disappointing. Dark room no color and very cloudy water. Parking garage had no elevator to rooms. You have to trek through the lobby to another elevator. Overall not a pleasant stay... February 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by quilter Heat in meeting Heat in meeting rooms too warm and staff did not seem to be able to low temp before our afternoon meeting was over. In addition the women's restroom to the left of the desk, cloest to the elevator, handicap stall , lock on the door needs to be adjusted so that it will easily lock. April 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by jreichel A pleasant surprise We were on a New England holiday and needed an intermediate stop on the way from Acadia to Boston. Originally we had planned to stay in Portland, but could not find a hotel there as everything was sold out. So we picked Portsmouth, not knowing much about the city. We were pleasantly surprised! Nice little city, great hotel in a perfect location. The quaint, old part of town with lots of dining and shopping options begins right at the hotel's doorstep. August 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RMaj Hotel Stay We had a fantastic time on our business trip because of the hotel. We were upgraded to Club Level and received the star treatment with free appetizers and breakfast each day. I would definitely come back to this hotel. The only complaint I could imagine was that I was on a corner room with a very strange layout, but it is inevitable that someone would get that room. March 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by DetroitRed The condo was not up to SPG quality We stayed in the condo portion of the hotel and found it overall to be cheaply constructed. The stairway and hall leading to the apartment had an unpleasant odor, and the stairs creaked due to insufficient support. The floor of the shower had a distinct bounce, again caused by insufficient support under it. Finally, the inside surface of the exterior door was badly scuffed by too many suitcases bumping it. This should have been checked and cleaned. August 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lillian75 This hotel has great staff support Given our late arrival, the need for us to get into our rooms, and the stress of having maneuvered a UNH Honors Convocation, we were not what one would call the calmest of guests. Having said that, the registration staff and the night manager did everything possible to make our stay comfortable and memorable. We found that attititude to be true of every staff member we encountered. This hotel brands the Sheraton as a place to go. Thanks to all. LK May 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Meep Close to UNH My family and I just stayed at this Sheraton for one night but the room,staff,location exceeded my expectation. Carlos called several days before I arrived and offered his services. He emailed me directions from the sheraton to UNH which were perfect; and he was a UNH grad which was an added plus. The sheraton is about 15min away from campus and certainly a location I would stay at again in the future. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. April 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jrp21 amazing service I stayed here just one night for my anniversary and this place was amazing. I spoke with sandra at the sheraton and told her about my anniversary and what a surprise. they did everything for us. they upgraded me to a luxury suite, gave us a bottle of wine , flowers and even free champagne at dinner. they really tried to make our night special and they succeeded! my wife was thrilled and we had a great time. we will be back! thank you Sandra! January 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TimK9873 Sheraton Portsmouth, NH Room was very nice. We stayed in a newly The . The closet space could be slightly larger. The registration staff and the bell captains were excellent. especially Ryan, Alex and Grace at the front desk and Tim one of of the bell captains. Even the room cleaning staff were extra ordinary. March 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by mahalo2001 Kudos to a staff memebers I have stayed at this hotel several times over the last few years. Over-all my experience with the staff and site have been favorable. But I wanted to take a minute and express my 'Thanks' to Ms Sarah Drost, the Director of Guest Experience. On the evening of our arrival, at the start of a New England snow storm, my wife discovered that she had accidently forgotten to bring her contact lens materials. When we enquired at the desk, we were informed that the hotel was out of the need items. While searching the back offices for the items, apparently the clerk mentioned the situation to Ms. Drost. The next thing we knew, Ms Drost had thrown on her coat, gone out into the snowstorm and had purchased the needed items at an area store! She then brought the items directly to our room, saving an uncomfortable night and morning for my wife. 'Way to Go' Ms. Drost!. December 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by dblib Good, but some improvements would help I enjoy staying at the Sheraton and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. The biggest area for improvement in my opinion is on the WIFI. As a business traveler (like many who stay there) this is important and the connection speed is usually not very good at the Sheraton. It is almost non existent in the fitness center. Overall, appreciate the employees willingness to help any way they can February 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LisaP Treated like Royalty at Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel My great impressions of this facility began even before we left our home, with a note from Carlos welcoming us to lovley Portsmouth.We were greeted by Justin at the front desk who checked us in efficently. Once in our rooms, a fruit and cheese tray arrived with a hand written note from Justin welcoming us again. Inky was our housekeeper, and left handwritten notes introducing herself. The hotel is beautiful, and the staff even more so. May 3, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by kesmith2 Mixed Emotions As someone who travels about 50 weeks/year for work, I experience a lot in hotels. The Sheraton staff members were friendly, the bed was comfortable. The food in the restaurant was average. The first night, after checking in, there was an issue with the heater/AC unit in my room - I called the front desk and they replaced the unit while I used the hotel gym. The second night, a family with 3 kids moved into the room next to me - the kids were extremely loud; in fact, while on conference call, my coworkers could hear the kids in the room next to me through the phone. I would hope that, when guests book rooms, there would be separation of corporate travelers and families traveling for leisure. This is a simple algorithm based on number of travelers and other data input when reserverations are made. The price was comparable to other hotels in the area. February 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jen34 Great hotel This was my second stay at this Hotel. The check in staff was very friendly. I had my 8yr old son with me and when we came back to our room that evening there was a note to him with a free movie and popcorn. He was so excited to have that personlaized to him. It was a great touch. Also our TV wasn't working correctly and wasn't able to be fix but they offered us free movies to make up for the in convenience. I would stay here again! August 6, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by MGS13 Not up to Sheraton Standards We stayed at the Portsmouth Harborside to attend a good friends wedding. The hotel was quite busy. Parking and unloading was quite involved. Had to ask to get a rollaway bed three times before delivered, including first time when trying to change reservation from king to two queen beds. First it was going to be $10 - ok, not happy but ok. Then onsite it's going to be $25 but no worries - the registration desk clerk will waive the charge. Neither of those conversations yielded us a bed - had to call later that evening and ask a third time. AND when I checked out - there's a $25 charge for the bed on my bill. Similar lack of service when trying to get a hair straightener... Room could also use a face lift ... just not used to this at a Sheraton. On the plus side, great location close to downtown Portsmouth. The room was nice where they held the reception. August 5, 2013

From Rihanna to Rita Ora; from Carly Rae Jepson to Kelly Clarkson - we find out why women are doing so well in the Pop charts. Following news that a bank clerk mistakenly gave a pensioner millions of euros, we hear about some of the other mistakes that have been made in the workplace and we find out why there are no nudist beaches in Ireland all on Mooney today at 3PM.
With all this recent good weather lots of Irish people have been stripping off but we ask how come we haven't a nudist beach in Ireland? Pat Gallagher, head of the Irish Naturist Association joins us in studio to discuss the topic in more.
Female music stars are top of their game ahead of men but how come men in suits are controlling the music industry while female artists are breaking waves in the charts. Una Mullaly, music journalist with The Irish Times joins Shay & Brenda in studio to discuss the topic in more detail.
Ruairi Mc Kiernan is a young man who as he says is 'hitching for hope', he is armed with his tent, some clothes, his laptop and mobile phone. He is spending the month of July on the road, hitching about. The idea for the trip came after he was asked to speak at the MacGill Summer School on the theme of citizens' views of the republic, he didn't feel qualified to talk without first connecting deeper into people's dreams for Ireland.
Ask yourself, have you ever dozed off at work? What is the worst thing you have ever done at your desk, or place of employment. Our reporter Pat O'Mahony has been looking at some of the biggest blunders in the workplace and speaks to Shay today in more detail.
Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

I bought 5DMKiii, it's battery made in China. I bought 2 decoded batteries from Ebay which were made in China as well with half of the price of 1 Canon's battery. The Canon's one can take about 5 - 10% more pics than the other 2. After about 2 months being stored (out of the camera) with full charge and without using (Im not a pro), the Canon's had 88% power left; the other 2 had...100% power left. Which one should I buy next?Of course buy Canon's ......... not!

Topic: Canon U.S.A. Raises Awareness About Counterfeit Accessories For Digital Cameras And Camcorders And Promotes Consumer Safety (Read 16248 times)
If they lowered battery prices, that would make the counterfitting business unprofitable, and they might actually make a larger profit by selling a lot more batteries.
I doubt it because circumventing safety and producing crappy batteries with 1/2 the nominal max. charge will always be cheaper.
Canon's problem is that at least I don't see any mandatory connection between their prices and quality, for example I just ordered some Canon lens caps from Asia for $1 per piece, great value :-> ... maybe Canon should raise consumer's awareness why their pieces of plastic cost 10x the price of, well, unusually good offers.
I don't mind buying third party batteries, as long as that's what I'm looking for, and paying for. If I'm paying $50+ for a "genuine" Canon battery, it damn well better be real. (I'm talking to you Amazon)
Oh, and while I'm on the subject (still speaking to you Amazon)... If I'm paying for a SanDisk Extreme you better not send me an Extreme HD Video. Especially infuriating is the fact you covered up the UPC with a sticker with the part number and UPC for the Extreme. I'M NOT THAT STUPID!

Canon Power ... ACTIVATE!

I think we're dating ourselves with what are now obscure cultural references...
The main point is that you should buy from a established dealer.
So is the initiative just dealer-driven?

If they'd ever sell their batteries for an even remotely reasonable price, I might buy one someday. As it is, I've had no trouble with any of the 6 third-party batteries I've bought for a total cost less than the cost of just 1 Canon.

It's not the 3rd party batteries that are problem, it's the counterfeit batteries being marketed as authentic Canon batteries.

CATEGORIES MoviesHooray for May, one of my favorite months of the year. Spring is in full swing, school is winding down, and the summer movie season has kicked off with the first studio blockbuster, "Iron Man 3." With so many excellent family choices coming up, it's a good time to stay in and save for those summer movie matinees.
This week, I'm recommending the live-action reboot of a Disney classic, a kid-friendly fairy-tale comedy, and a prom season favorite.
Rated G Pick: "101 Dalmatians" (1996, 103 minutes) Netflix Amazon Instant iTunes
Kids Will Love: Kids who've seen the Disney classic will still find this live-action adaptation hilarious. Glenn Close's campy performance as Cruella de Vil and all the slapstick routines courtesy of her bumbling henchmen (English comedy greats Hugh Laurie and Mark Williams) will keep kiddos laughing for an hour and a half.
Parents Will Love: Glenn Close was born to play Cruella de Vil (one of my all-time favorite Disney villains), and she is evilly delicious as the fur-obsessed maniac. She has so much fun playing the part that she's the main reason to check out the comedy.
Did You Know? The screenwriter who adapted "101 Dalmatians" for its live-action debut was none other than the late great writer-director John Hughes, who made more money from it than any of his other films because his contract included a share of the merchandising profits.
Rated PG Pick: "Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil" (PG, 2011, 86 minutes) Netflix Amazon Instant iTunes
Kids Will Love: This "Hoodwinked" sequel once again puts a spin on the old "Little Red Riding Hood" tale, and kids will get a kick out of the fact that Little Red may be a young girl, but she's in a covert group that investigates mysteries within the fairy-tale universe. The action and humor make this a fun pick for kids.
Parents Will Love: That the kids are watching an age-appropriate movie. I prefer the original "Hoodwinked," but my kids, especially the younger two (5 and 8), loved this movie and all of its silly references and sight gags. I appreciated that the main character is a fierce girl, Little Red, who does the rescuing instead of needing to be rescued.
Teen Pick: "Pretty in Pink" (PG, 1986, 96 minutes) Netflix Amazon Instant iTunes
Teens Will Love: It's prom season, so this is a perfect spring pick. The songs and the outfits and the slang might be outdated, but the issues remain relevant, even 27 years later. Teens can still relate to class and social status differences, the best friend who secretly yearns for more, and the quirky, independent girl who falls for the rich boy who's about more than his money.
Parents Will Love: For most parents of teens, this is a return to the movies of our youth. Feel free to quote the lines and point out to your kids that the mom from "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" was once the queen bee of high-school movies. Also, discuss how James Spader set the standard for the rich jerk in all teen flicks to follow.
Did You Know? Although it's considered a John Hughes movie, Hughes wrote the screenplay but did not direct. The director is Howard Deutch, who followed up his debut with another Hughes-penned teen flick, "Some Kind of Wonderful" -- during which he met his wife, actress Lea Thompson.

The seldom-seen 1948 drama, featuring a play-within-a-play and touching on ideas of stewardship of the land, family, parenting and community, was giving largely admiring marks by critics, who felt the production hit the right tone of sweet cynicism, though they were split on whether Lloyd's madcap work distracted from or added to the overall quality of the show. Sheik's music was also praised.
Why don't we dispense with the formalities of a selection process, and just agree that Neil Patrick Harris will host every award show from now on?
I understand that Seth MacFarlane wasn't so popular as this years Oscar host…

"I need to cut weight and it won't be easy. I'll have a lot of problems until the fight in Brazil, but I've gotta do it. I don't want to fight at heavyweight, so I gotta cut that f--king weight." "He's one of the best fighters ever," Griffin said of his opponent, who he submitted in September 2007. "He has a blitz style. He goes forward. He's dangerous. I gotta make him move backward and let's see what happens. I want to go hard for all 15 minutes of the fight." "It's difficult to adjust yourself [to another country]," said Griffin. "There's the jetlag thing, and it's difficult to make weight since Brazil doesn't have the distilled water I use in the U.S. and the food I need to eat. It's always difficult to change your routine when you go to another country. I feel stupid because I can't communicate with people from the hotels and can't even say how I want my eggs. It's clearly a pain in the ass." UFC 134: Rio coverage

Healthcare is a very hot topic in this year's presidential election. Regardless of your political views on healthcare one thing is for certain military veterans who have served our country deserve quality healthcare.
Recently the Sonny Montgomery Veterans Administration Hospital in Jackson has come under fire about patient care, poor morale, a shortage of physicians and medical staff. Congressman Bennie Thompson asked for an investigation and last week visited the VA Hospital in Jackson to see for himself. The VA Hospital needs to address the numerous complaints that have surfaced.
Jackson is the major medical center for Mississippi and the VA Hospital is too important to let these problems continue.

3.68/5 rDev -1.9%
Maybe it's the subtle scent of rye that floats from a nice half pint, but Jacobus RPA is a beer that takes me biking through the Dutch country side-- even if the countryside is filled with nothing but canals, cows, and sheep (and no rye). There's a nice country aroma here.
It pours a nice acorn brown color, not too dark, not too light, with a short foamy head.
True to its name, this beer tastes of rye, but not aggressively so. It's just enough. I'd compare it to a nice Sierra Nevada Pale Ale with a rye kick.
Overall, this beer kicks ass. It's totally accessible. Nice to have on a early afternoon but equally pleasant on a late night out. I've had it on tap at the Jopenkerk. It goes down smooth every time.

11.2 ounce bottle - Bullock's Wine & Spirits in Marietta, Georgia.
Appearance: A darkish, tan-colored beer with a slim, scant, ivory-hued head.
Smell: A scent of moderately toasted bread crust and flaked rye with a thin edge of sweet-scented caramel to it. Hops give a little orange, a little grapefruit as well as some spice.
Taste: Sufficiently sweetish, caramel glazed maltiness, predominately toasty with a subtle undertone of rye and vague, mild nuttiness. Citrusy, spicy, minutely resiny hops with ample bitterness to balance things out. The carbonation is livelier than expected, but it only serves to keep things moving nicely and give a little bump to the beers overall spiciness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation.
Overall: Subtle but rather enjoyable.

a real tasty rye beer here, a little bit bland in the context of some american rye beers, which are getting enormous and very intense. this is more of a subtle use of rye here, just a portion of the grain bill to give it a little character. pale copper in color, tall off white head with great staying power. the nose and taste are moderately forward on the rye, not spicy like some can be, but more of a dense bready thing, an earthen property, and extremely fresh. well hopped too, especially for a euro brew, which usually dont have much hops at all. this one has a distinct bitterness and pungent C varietal character. what i like about this is how well balanced it is, its not too much rye, not in your face, but distinct at the same time. also one of the more hop forward european ales ive come across, very much american in use of hops for flavoring. nice carbonation, fuller body, yet quite refreshing for what it is. if it were available regularly here, im sure i would buy it from time to time. its very well made.

Big thanks to my friend Bill F. for this beer.
Appearance 4.0: Poured out a beautiful dark caramel color, like the color of walnut wood. Nice 1/2" white head faded away to zero very fast. Slight swirls on top. Nice lacing.
Smell 3.5: Very subdued bouquet. I detect some spiciness from the rye and a general smell of hops.
Taste 3.75: Front is dry with a pleasant and unexpected taste of prickly hops. Middle is where the rye taste comes in and is very pleasant. This mid-level rye is balanced by some very nice citrusy hops. Finish is dry with a slight caramel taste and a balanced and satisfying hit if alkaline hoppiness. Aftertaste is remarkably long, given the dryness present in the other taste levels, and focuses on the rye/hop mingling.
Mouthfeel 4.0: Very refreshing and full mouthfeel on this beer. This goes a long way to making a dry beer very palatable.
Overall 3.75: Dry, but balanced and thoroughly refreshing. Light body with a low ABV makes this beer an excellent sessioner or a perfect companion to food. Not a big, over-the-top beer like several American versions, this brew is an excellent introduction to the Rye style.

The aroma of this beer is fruity from the used USA hops with just some rye braking through.
The beer is unfiltered and is therefore slight hazy, the color is amber.
the taste is fruity and bitter with a dry finish and then a slight hoppy fruitiness returns. The rye also gives it some spicy and oily taste, in wine you would call it petrol like, but i have not seen that by beer reviews?

On-tap at Jopenkerk, Haarlem, Netherlands
A: The beer is very dark yellowish brown in color and somewhat resembles apple cider. It poured with a quarter finger high off white head that died down but consistently left a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light aromas of subdued citrusy hops are present in the nose - oranges and grapefruit seem to stand out in particular.
T: Te taste is very much similar to the smell and is citrusy and only has a faint hint of bitterness and slight hints of spices from the rye.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is really enjoyable - it's like drinking a maltier version of an Americn West Coast IPA without any of the bitterness.

A dark copper beer with a settling head.
Smell of citric hops with notes of red fruit, mango, grapefruit. A nice hoppy smell backed up by a full malty smell which is a bit dextrinous.
Taste is balanced between the hops and malt. The bitterness is not too high, but enough to balance the beer. The hops offer red fruit, grapefruit, mango and give the beer a nice citric hoppy taste. The rye adds a slightly nutty and fullness to the beer.

(WMC-TV) - There are new claims of mistreatment at the Memphis Veterans Hospital. A vet now claims he was cleared to leave with a needle stuck in his arm.
Vietnam War Vet Howard Wagner suffers from a traumatic brain injury.
"I had a better outlook toward them than I do now," said Wagner.
The Marine also lost the use of his leg after it was caught in a trap in the Vietnam War. He has been treated at the Memphis VA Hospital for years.
Wagner says he was shocked when he was sent home with an IV needle still stuck in his arm on January 7.
"I called my wife. I said, 'Hey Anne, guess what? I come home ...' She says, 'What?' I said, 'The needle in my arm,' " said Wagner.
On the day in question Wagner says he was put in a hospital bed and hooked up to a monitor. He was not seen by a regular doctor at the hospital but a contract physician.
"And they put the IV needle in after that," said Wagner. "He left and I guess that's when he told the nurses to watch out for me [and said] don't let me walk because I would fake a fall to get admitted."
Veterans' advocate Randy Wade said this is not the first case involving a veteran at the VA hospital being sent home with a needle in his arm.
"They need to do a top to bottom and get to the bottom of those people and terminate those people," said Wade.
Ever since news broke in October about three mysterious deaths at the Memphis VA and a subsequent congressional investigation, Wade says he keeps hearing from patients and sources alike that things have not improved.
Wagner says he knows the hospital is understaffed, but he says that is no excuse for the treatment he received.

The case of Denzel Harvey has been much reported this week, as being the case where the High Court apparently decreed that if a person swears at the police it is okay, because police officers should be able to take it.
Harvey was charged, convicted, and then had the conviction quashed, with an offence contrary to section 5 Public Order Act 1986:
(1) A person is guilty of an offence if he—
(a) uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or
(b) displays any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting,
within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby.
(the facts of the case being that he used the F word towards a police officer on several occasions during a stop and search).
Not only has there been the usual knee-jerkery in the red-tops and the tabloids, but it has spread out into the broadsheets and into the police social media footprint, particularly Twitter and blogs.
According to the Telegraph, Simon Reed, vice chairman of the Police Federation, said:
"It's astounding that you can use every swear word to abuse a police officer and they have got to accept it just because it is common. This gives the green light for everyone to swear and use disorderly behaviour with police."
Apparently, the new Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Bernard Hogan-Howe said:
"It is not acceptable to be sworn at for anybody, so why would it be any more acceptable for a police officer? Even if you accepted that argument, then it doesn't look too good, does it, in terms of respect? A police officer challenges a suspect about something and they stand there being abusive. I just don't understand how that works. So I am deeply disappointed by the decision, but I respect the fact that apparently it is a statement of the law."
And indeed it is reported that the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, also waded in with:
"Public servants are not there to be abused – they are there to serve society and society must respect them. How can a copper cope with the job if the public are allowed to insult them with impunity?"
All fair comments really. Based on what they had been told, anyway.
You see, sadly the media – and especially those reporters who put this case to those quoted above – got their facts wrong.
The report of the decision went up today on the Judiciary website, and it tells a very different tale to the one that has been in the media. You can find the full judgment here, but I have snagged the relevant part:
Highlighted area one, is why his appeal succeeded.
To prove an offence under section 5, you have to prove harassment, alarm or distress. Unfortunately, the prosecutor seems to have forgotten the ABC of prosecution; that is, proving the elements of the offence – which is rather crucial. According to the appeal judgment (page 4) 'neither officer gave evidence of being harassed, alarmed or distressed', because, as above, they were not asked. Whoops.
Highlighted area two makes very clear – with emphasis added by the judge, that in granting the appeal, he is laying the blame on the fact the questions had not been asked, and he is absolutely not saying that officers have to take abuse.
So there we have it. Bad questioning yes, bad law no, f***ing awful reporting.

On the down side:
1. To get from one end of the ship to the other you had to pass smokers areas no matter which way you went. We found this most annoying and something that should be corrected. As they only make up a minority of passengers, put them in a closed off area and they can effect only their own lungs.
2. If you have a debit card, don't tell them. Instead arrange to pay cash. If you have a card, each time you spend money (drinks, excursions etc) they will have that amount set aside in your account so that you cannot use it. At the end of the cruise Costa then debits your card for the total amount, but in fact this is debiting the card twice! After four weeks the daily deductions are cancelled and the money becomes available to you once again. In our case, this was near the end of our holiday and with $600 missing from our account, it made the end of our holiday less enjoyable because of the need to be so frugal. (some hotels do the same with the cost of accommodation).
2. The daily newsletter. The translation from Italian doesn't explain all of the misinformation but some of it. For example, Turkey became independent from Russia in 1975. They were also bombed in the 1850's. Rarely did the newsletter indicate where we were passing such as the Dardenelles which is of importance to Australians, New Zealanders, the British and Indians because of the Gallipoli campaign in World War One.
We also visited Constanza in Romania. Don't bother. It looks like everything has gone downhill since Nicolae Ceausescu was executed and that's saying something!. In the Ukraine, the ports of Odessa and Yalta were real eye openers. Beautiful country, lovely cities and parks and very friendly. Lots of history such as the Crimea Conference of 1945 between Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin in the Lividia Palace of Tzar Nicholas II which you could visit.

Inc. is an industry leader in the manufacturing of accessories enabling
"nano-lab" capabilities for electron and ion beam microscopes. Products
include innovative nano-manipulation
products for electrical/mechanical testing and sample preparation as well
as gas
injector systems. The original flagship product is the AutoProbe™
100.1 for TEM sample prep via the "in-situ lift-out" method.
Incorporated in 1999, Omniprobe
has leveraged their vision of "time-saving tools designed by expert users"
into a successful enterprise that has become the number one volume seller of
in-situ chamber-mounted manipulation tools for TEM sample prep. The products
service all sectors of the science community, from nanotechnology to biology
to semiconductor.
development team includes several employees that formerly held Senior Member
of Technical Staff or higher positions at Texas Instruments in Dallas, as well
as diverse education backgrounds ranging from Microbiology to Materials Science,
Physics and Electrical Engineering.
The availability of the Focused Ion Beam (FIB) microscope with its excellent imaging resolution, depth of focus and ion milling capability have made it an appealing platform for materials characterization at the sub-micron, or "nano" level. The FIB has already become popular for the preparation of samples for TEM from bulk samples. Nano-mechanical characterization in the FIB is another extension of the FIB capabilities into the realm of nano-technology.
A very important advantage of materials characterization in the FIB is the ability to image and even isolate small structures with the ion beam. In this way, the local mechanical properties of thin films or beams can be directly measured. Extrapolating mechanical properties of small structures from bulk property data is not always appropriate. Also, "edge effect" properties of thin films become more important as the surface to volume ratio increases. The ability to measure the mechanical response of tiny structures can be critical for rapid technology development. For example, in the integrated circuit industry, new materials challenges have been posed by the conversion to copper traces, low dielectric constant insulating layers and Pb-free solders. Rapid integration of these new materials requires accurate finite element modeling of material behavior, which depends on accurate thin film mechanical data of unfamiliar materials.
A sensitive strain gauge has been embedded in the probe shaft of an automated in-situ nanomanipulator for the FIB or Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The strain gauge used here is a tiny resistive gauge connected to a sensitive Wheatstone bridge amplifier. The strain gauge is positioned to maximize sensitivity to deflection of the probe shaft. The most straightforward application of this system is automated surface contact detection that is appropriate for a fine tip and independent of electrical continuity to the FIB ground. Beyond this purpose, this system can be used for such mechanical tests as bending beam, nano-hardness and fracture limit tests. This system can be used effectively in a qualitative mode which is quite sufficient for many experiments. It can also be used to obtain quantitative data with an NIST-traceable calibrated load cell. In addition, nano-mechanical testing can be combined with simultaneous electrical testing and video recording of the image.
Figure 1. The result of a particle fracture test
Figure 2. Load vs. overtravel graph for a particle fracture test.
Figure 3. The visualization of a scrub mark made with the probe tip point.
An example of the application of nano-mechanical testing to the FIB environment is the fracture testing of tiny particles. This simple test provides important information about the particle's mechanical properties. Figure 1 shows the result of such a fracture experiment. The ultimate fracture strength of tiny particles can be assessed in a direct method by loading the particles to failure. Figure 2 is the corresponding load vs. overtravel curve for such a measurement.
Figure 4. The contact resistance versus overtravel (µm) diagram for a single scrubbing event as depicted in Fig. 3.
Figure 5. FIB image of a bond pad scrubbing test involving multiple touchdowns. One event ran off the edge of the pad.
Figure 6. Probe load measurements recorded for 10 repeated touchdown events. The 7th touchdown having lower force correlated to scrubbing off the edge of the pad. The first touchdown was held a long period of time prior to retracting.
Overtravel is defined as the displacement of the probe shaft towards the center of the particle after the probe tip first makes contact with the surface of the particle. Because of the size and brittleness of the particle, these data include some compliance of the fine probe tip as well as the elastic response of the particle. The ultimate fracture strength of the particle (roughly 6mg load at fracture) is determined by calibrating the measurement shaft with an NIST-traceable load cell. With an automated testing routine, hundreds of particles can be analyzed within two hours, and the data compiled can be used for comparison of particles from a different production process.
In another example, the process of in-line bond pad probing is simulated with the nanomanipulator to determine the conditions responsible for subsurface cracking of the Cu/low-k dielectric stack beneath the bond pad (Fig. 3).
This is a condition that can lead to an effect called "cratering" in which the bond (wire bond of flip chip bump) breaks away from the die in the package and removes a portion of the dielectric stack. In-line probing typically involves "scrubbing" the pad with the probe tip to break through any surface oxide and
give a reproducible contact resistance. In these experiments, the pointed probe tip typically used for testing tiny objects is
replaced with a standard probe tip with a flat bottom, which is used for in-line testing. An interesting graph that shows the physical behavior of a probe tip while performing the scrubbing movement is shown in Fig. 4.
Figure 4 shows the effect of surface debris on contact resistance
during the scrubbing action. Figure 5 shows the appearance of
a bond pad after repeated touchdown and scrubbing events.
The probe tip loading information is shown in Fig. 6.
Surface damage and loading information can be combined
with subsurface damage revealed by subsequent in-situ liftout
and TEM inspection of the probed areas. This in-situ lift-out
can be performed with the same nanomanipulator that is used
for the probing simulations. In addition, real time video of the
touchdown and scrubbing events can be captured simultaneously with the electrical and mechanical data.
The study of MEMS structures with nanomechanical testing offers
a great opportunity for understanding such processes as
wear, stiction and elastic behavior of a dynamic compound system.
Figure 7 shows the testing of the load required to deflect a
Digital Light Processing™ (DLP™ a Texas Instruments Technology)
mirror device. Figure 8 shows a typical load vs. displacement
curve for this device. This is an excellent example of the
combination of the high resolution imaging capabilities of the
SEM or FIB with nanomechanical testing performed by sensitive
strain gauge attached to a nanomanipulator. Exact placement
and simultaneous visual monitoring of the experiment
increase efficiency and add a great value to the data. Unlike in
previous examples discussed in this study, in this case the loads
required for deflection are in the micro-gram range.
Figure 7. Mirror deflection experiment using the Texas Instruments
DLP™ chip.
Calibration in this region often requires extrapolation of calibration
data, or special calibrated load cells. In the case shown
in Figs. 7 and 8, we extrapolated the calibration data from an
NIST-traceable load cell that operates in the milligram range.
This certainly provides a repeatable qualitative standard with
which mirrors of different lots can be accurately compared.
More accurate quantitative calibration would require a dedicated
calibration source.
The examples highlighted here demonstrate the power and
flexibility of nanomechanical testing in the FIB or SEM with a
probe shaft that includes a built-in strain gauge. Loads that
range from grams to micrograms are achievable. Calibration
is limited only by the availability of calibrated load cells in the
smallest load ranges. Deflections in the range of a few nanometers
range can be accurately applied. Simultaneous electri-
cal, mechanical and visual data can be combined to provide a
revealing study of physical behavior of complex and dynamic

Words fly at Non-Aligned Movement summit
On Wednesday, Al-Alam reported that UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon arrived in Tehran to take part in the 16th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, despite outcry from the United States and from Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu over Iran taking over NAM leadership. However, Ban went on later in the week to sharply condemn Iran's denial of the Holocaust during WWII, as well as Israel's right to exist, in a speech at the summit.
Ban's comments were part of a number of verbal attacks at the meeting, which was heavily covered by Mosaic's broadcasters. BBC Arabic reported that the Syrian delegation left the summit's conference hall when Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi criticized the Syrian government during his speech, in which he affirmed his country's "full solidarity" with those seeking freedom and justice in Syria. Additionally, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused Western countries of fabricating crises around the world, and of monopolizing the UN Security Council.
Trouble brews for a shaky Yemen in transition
New protests have broken out in the Yemeni capital Sanaa to denounce the deteriorating security situation in the country, and to demand the dismissal of relatives of deposed President Ali Abdullah Saleh from their military positions. Al Jazeera reported that this comes after an assassination attempt targeted Yassin Saeed Noman, the most prominent leader of the Joint Meeting Parties opposition coalition.
In addition, Press TV reported another US drone strike in Yemen killed at least eight people in Hadhramaut Province, the second such attack in the region this week. Dubai TV reported the killing of three al-Qaeda members in an air raid in the Khashamir area of the Qatan district, but the source did not specify the origin of the plane that carried out the raid.
Yemen has been experiencing difficulty in restructuring the country's government after the fall of former president Saleh. Earlier this week, members of the Southern Movement in Yemen refused to participate in the national dialogue conference scheduled for the end of the year. They demand the south's secession from the north, which would mean a return to the country's pre-unification division.
More leaders express stance on Syrian Civil War
As the Syrian army's shelling intensified all across Syria this week, Press TV reported that President Bashar al-Assad sat down for an interview with Syrian channel Al-Dunya, saying more time is needed to end the insurgency in his country and that a buffer zone, the idea being championed by "hostile countries" and "Syria's enemies," is unrealistic.
Meanwhile, some leaders expressed their stance on the Syrian war during the NAM summit, most notably Egypt's President Morsi, Iran's President Ahmadinejad, and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who opposed any kind of military intervention, as well as criticized the ongoing flow of weapons to insurgents. The head of Russia's army also rejected media reports this week that Moscow was winding down its military presence in Syria, saying that it is not in the process of evacuating its naval base in the Syrian city of Tartus, which it has leased since Soviet times.

I was so excited to receive these. I bought these on the strength of the Honora name. I was very disappointed in them. They look really cheap. One of the moons was more of a bronze colour and the other was blacker. Not impressed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Murder, they blogged
Is Lori Drew the Real Culprit?
Had the Drew girl engineered the Josh Evans hoax, the story would be sad and sordid enough. The case awaits trial, but the evidence suggests that a key figure in this outrage may have been a figure who should have been protecting the community and her family from this sort of venomous intrigue: Lori Drew, the other girl's mother.
The Drews and Meiers knew each other well. They'd vacationed together. The Drews knew that Megan Meier was a complex, troubled girland that she had been on antidepressants.
Lori Drew denied initial police reports that she set up the account with her daughter. Federal allegations say that she was instrumental to the hoax, but she blames her employee in her home-based direct-mail business, Ashley Grills, who admitted involvement but further implicated Lori Drews. Grills, meanwhile, was gravely affected by the unfortunate events: she attempted suicide, and was hospitalized.
All that was slow to come to light; the Drews were understandably quiet themselves, tending to funeral arrangements. Lori Drew allegedly warned another of Megan's peers, the girl across the street, to keep quiet about the hoax and her role in it. But that girl told her mother, and the horrified woman took the tale to school counselors.
The neighbor finally invited the Meiers to the school counseling center and filled them in on the truth behind the situation, and they approached the authorities. The FBI conducted an investigationquietly. The US attorney's office and the St. Charles County prosecutor would eventually decide that potential charges involving stalking and harassment didn't apply to this case and that it couldn't be successfully prosecuted. Eventually, federal prosecutors would determine that there could be a case in establishing that Lori Drew had defrauded MySpace. In May 2008 they subpoenaed the site. They filed charges of conspiracy in Los Angeles County, where MySpace's servers are located. Drew pled not guilty and awaits trial
Meanwhile, the Meiers took steps of their own against the Drewsand the online world has attacked the Drews as well.

A Scottsboro man charged in the death of a girlfriend was denied youthful offender status Tuesday.
20-year-old Jonathan Maurice Nicholson is charged with criminally negligent homicide in the death of 17-year-old Tessa Faye Groves of Woodville.
Citing several previous charges ranging from harassment to assault to theft and drug charges, the judge told Nicholson there was no way he could grant youthful offender status. Nicholson also faces an unrelated felony robbery charge.
Groves was shot at a home in Scottsboro in September 2012. An investigation later revealed the bullet that struck Groves first struck Nicholson's face.
Groves' family said they are pleased by the judge's decision. However, they are not pleased about the misdemeanor charge Nicholson faces.
"That charge is a joke. It's a misdemeanor. He gets charged a misdemeanor for killing her. He's going to get one year. If we're lucky, he's going to get one year in jail for taking her life," said Sara Groves, Tessa's sister.
The judge set a Feb. 24 trial date.

Burnley Wood residents step up waste site protest (From Blackburn Citizen)

Burnley Wood residents step up waste site protest
11:30am Friday 23rd May 2014 in News By Chris Adams
ANGRY Burnley Wood residents have stepped up their campaign against a waste site which they claim is 'making life hell'.
The Lancashire Telegraph reported yesterday how Oxford Mill Waste Transfer Station was being monitored by the Environment Agency (EA).
Now families living near the Oxford Road site have formed Burnley's Environmental Action Group in order to tackle pest problems, which they believe are emanating from the mill.
The area's county councillor, Margaret Brindle, has already compiled a report for Lancashire County Council and the EA, detailing residents' complaints, which include infestations of rats and flies.
Sheree Welsby, who lives in Branch Road, said she decided to set up the campaign group with Kay Gardens resident Melanie Jones after neighbours said rubb- ish dumped at the mill was aff-ecting their health.
Miss Welsby, 43, who lives with her fiance John Spencer, said: "I have never collected so many flies in all my life. This is the worst it has ever been. I know of several asthma sufferers who have had to increase their inh-aler use because of the pollution.
"There are rats running up and down the streets like they are people.
"What's the point in regeneration costing millions if we're going to live like we're in slums? This sort of business should be in an industrial estate."
The group will meet with Burnley MP Gordon Birtwistle next week, and hold its first off-icial meeting at Burnley Wood Terracefields Training and Comm- unity Centre, in Springfield Road, on June. 10 from 6.30pm.
The permit to carry out waste operations at the site currently belongs to Hapton Trading Ltd, but Eccles-based firm White Recycling is its main user.
Nobody from either firm has responded to the Lancashire Tel-egraph's requests for a comment.

Late "Happy Birthday" To New Board
I had this on my mind a month ago to post a Happy Birthday to the birth of this "New" board but forgot till now. So as they say better late than . It sure dont seem like over a year ago when I transfered over to here from the now defunct board. Thanks _Dennis_ for all the and time you put in making this an enjoyable learning experience for all of us members.
Then came Bronson
Happy "B" Day Board and thanks alot Dennis. Lot of great stuff here I just had a very big piece of the cake. Yum-Yum
Thanks Guys! Although I think the tradtional "possum pie" would be more appropriate
"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday." ~ John Wayne
I haven't quite figured out the "possum pie" guys
Is it by any chance similar to our "Roadkill Roast"
Either way, Happy Birthday to the Board and thanks again Dennis for all you do, including the new sticky
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Rudi, If you don't want to possum hunt or are too lazy to look for roadkill, you can use this fine product as a start for good possum pie:
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Ifn ya got a UPC code, I can put the request in to my local grocer

In our last update, the athletic calendar had officially changed to 2014-15, and this week the action finally kicks off! Coach Aaron Gordon's women's soccer team is our first game of the year at Mississippi State, hosting Iowa State on Friday at 7. I hope you'll come out – as always, admission is free and a fun event for families.
Additionally, that game will serve as our first official broadcast on the SEC Network, so if you can't make it to town, just pull up SEC Network+ online and you'll be able to watch your Bulldogs from anywhere. The debut of the SEC Network is big for MSU athletics and this is the start of a much newer and better era when it comes to keeping track of Bulldog athletics and the visibility of our university.
I'm actually writing this en route to Charlotte for the SEC Athletic Directors' meeting at SEC Network headquarters where we will get our first look at the new studio in person.
I hope you've enjoyed what the SEC Network has to offer so far. It's only getting better.
With 10 days left until kickoff, ticket holders in our new north end zone will be pleased to know their seats and amenities will be ready to go for the season-opener. The entire expansion is nearly finished, with just a few odds and ends left to tie together as we move our own staff and equipment in.
I'm incredibly proud of what you have helped Davis Wade Stadium become and if you haven't seen pictures, you'll hardly recognize the place. I can't wait for you all to see the finished product.
Our first event in the new end zone will actually take place Friday night when we host our annual Champions Dinner for Bulldog Club members who have pledged $25,000 or more for this year and those who have made a major gift to the stadium expansion.
By the time some of you read this, we ought to be a good way through the available 11,000 student tickets, which went on sale this morning in our new online format. We sold several thousand earlier this week with the priority given to Hail State Rewards members and we expect to once again sell out of our student allotment.
This year, for the first time in quite a while, our students will be together, centralized in the lower bowl of the north end zone. Not only will the expansion help keep sound in the stadium, it ought to be the source of a good deal of sound, too.
Students, as your email specified, we are offering guest tickets this year when available, as well as the ability to transfer your ticket to another student if so desired.
As of yesterday, we had surpassed 46,000 season tickets sold, which continues to be a record with each ticket sold (our previous record was a little over 43,000 in 2012). As it stands now, we have a little over 1,000 tickets available for the opener against Southern Miss on August 30. For those who haven't yet secured a ticket, I'd encourage you to visit www.HailState.com/tickets and join the celebration of expanded DWS and the 100th year of Scott Field. It ought to be a fun night.
Of course, for those who absolutely can't make it, the game will be broadcast on the SEC Network.
Beyond the season opener, we do have a select amount of tickets still available in the mini-plan where you can pick three of five home games including USM, UAB, Kentucky, UT Martin and Vanderbilt.
A reminder to those making weekend plans that, in addition to soccer hosting Cincinnati at 11:30 a.m., Davis Wade will be host to the annual Fan Day on Sunday afternoon. Gates will open at 4:30 and Coach Mullen and the team will arrive shortly after for autographs and pictures. A north end zone open house, which includes the Gridiron Club and new concourse, will take place, as well, so make sure to join us.
Happy first week of classes to all the students on campus and don't forget: we wear maroon on Fridays!
We appreciate what you do for Mississippi State Athletics and want to encourage you to get others involved. There are three things you can do to help the athletic department at Mississippi State reach its desired goals –
1. Buy Season Tickets
2. Financially Support the Bulldog Club
3. Get Others To Do The Same
Thanks for taking the time to read this Update.
Hail State!
Scott Stricklin
