NEW ORLEANS -- When Roger Goodell arrives in New Orleans for this week's Super Bowl, he may enter the city as the most polarizing of individuals, universally despised by those Saints fans who make up part of the population of the host city while being respected by those making decisions about the future of the region.
To those who make up the Saints' fan base, Goodell is on par right now with the Army Corps of Engineers and the British in 1815, a man who they feel single-handedly destroyed the 2012 season and the reputation of the team and fans.
For those trying to maintain New Orleans as the tourism spot to go to in the country, Goodell is a friend and advocate, a man who can bring the sporting world's biggest one-day event to it time and again.
Bringing the Superdome back
Doug Thornton remembers Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath like it happened just the other day.
He remembers sleeping in his office at the Superdome and flying away on the first day of September 2005, thinking the building he helps maintain as senior vice president of SMG would never be used again.
He remembers in the weeks after realizing that the building could be rehabilitated. But he needed help. He needed NFL assistance.
Then-NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue came to New Orleans in December of that year, getting a tour of the city, the Dome and the Saints practice facility in Metairie.
It took him just that visit to know what he wanted to do and how he wanted to help.
And he knew just the man to make sure his vision and Thornton's would come to fruition – Roger Goodell, one of Tagliabue's right-hand men.
After Saints owner Tom Benson finally decided to keep the team in New Orleans, the NFL targeted September 2006 for the franchise to re-open the Superdome.
But the schedule was tight.
As usual, though, bureaucratic red tape got in the way. Thornton had a project worksheet for the nearly $100 million venture ready to go. He even had a construction crew set to put hammer to nail. It just needed approval.
Yet, the PW, as it's called, bogged down in Washington, where it had to go through the "million dollar queue," a 14-agency massage that takes time and effort.
There was no time to waste, not even minutes, Thornton said.
"I remember emailing Roger over the weekend and I called him on Sunday at home," Thornton said. "I called him and he says, 'Tell me exactly what you need. Put this in a short memo to me.' "
Goodell and Tagliabue, Thornton was told, were heading to Washington to meet with some of the Louisiana Congressional delegation. They would talk, Thornton was told.
Two weeks later, with a much-reduced Mardi Gras Day celebration overtaking the few who had remained or returned to New Orleans, Thornton received a call from FEMA that changed everything.
The project was approved. Recalled Thornton, "(The FEMA official) said, 'Record time. We've never had one go through that quickly. I don't know what the heck you did."
Eight months later, the Saints were emotionally opening the building against Atlanta.
"I immediately called Roger to let him know," Thornton said. "I asked him, I said, 'What'd you do?' He said, 'We went down to talk to (David) Vitter, to talk to (Mary) Landrieu.' I can't remember exactly how he said this, but I got the impression they went way above. I could never verify who they talked to."
It wasn't the first time Goodell had been a friend. In 2002, after 9/11, the NFL pushed the Super Bowl back a week and that meant a conflict in New Orleans. He helped relocate the National Automobile Dealers Association convention, setting up the Crescent City to host the first big event after the terrorist attacks in New York.
But getting the Superdome up and running, and helping to make sure five FEMA representatives were part of the project (as Thornton had requested), was bigger for the city.
Fans have a right to be upset
And yet, for all that Goodell did nearly seven years ago, the fans still have a bad taste in their mouths from what happened this past year.
Under Goodell's direction, the NFL investigated the Saints for what it believed to be a pay-for-injury program administered by former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.
When all was finished, Williams was suspended from the league indefinitely. Head coach Sean Payton was booted from the NFL for a year, as was linebacker Jonathan Vilma. General manager Mickey Loomis was handed an eight-game suspension while assistant head coach Joe Vitt was given a six-game break. Defensive end Will Smith earned a four-game suspension and former New Orleans defenders Anthony Hargrove and Scott Fujita got eight-game and three-game suspensions.
Additionally, the Saints were docked second-round picks in both the 2012 and 2013 NFL draft and fined $500,000.
While not necessarily a causation, it would be easy to say there was a correlation between the bounty scandal and the tangled wreckage that was the just-completed 7-9 season that included a missed playoff berth for the first time since 2008.
Though none of the players ended up missing any playing time – an appeals panel overturned Goodell's original ruling and Tagliabue, serving as special counsel, vacated the player penalties – Saints fans still hold the commissioner accountable.
To the fans who span all walks of life, there has never been full proof presented showing them the NFL had the Saints dead to rights and that their heroes were the devils they were told they were.
"I guess there's anger in that they went forward with a mandate rather than based on evidence and a clear flaunting of the rules," said Saints fan Andrew Harrington, who works in the local movie industry.
Added Chris Webre, a physical therapist in town, "While we thank the NFL and we thank Paul Tagliabue and Goodell's role in doing that, that doesn't necessarily excuse the way he handled this situation. The notion that Saints fans are being petty, small and myopic for feeling the way Saints fans feel is the wrong way to look at it."
Therein lays one of the biggest problems Saints fans have right now. They're being told to move on, urged to let Goodell enter the Parish without knowing just how much he affected their year.
It's not just about the players, they say. It's also about the ones who pay for tickets and buy the jerseys and paraphernalia and make the NFL as popular as it is.
"It just kind of tosses the Saints fans aside," Webre said. "Even though you pay for the tickets, even though you go to the games, even though people say you're the greatest fans in the world, you don't have a right to be upset. What you're feeling is wrong. What you're feeling is misdirected. Eh, just get over it.
"It's not really something to get over. It's something to move on from. But it's not something to get over."
The Saints still were able to have their seventh consecutive sellout for season tickets this year. But 2012 being what it was after the Saints became one of the league's elite teams, winning a Super Bowl and three NFC South titles since 2005, there was a fear of going back to doormat days of old because of the penalties.
"The way he handled the bounty situation could have meant not the demise of the franchise, but that all of the progress the franchise has made post-Katrina could have been negated by all of this," Webre said.
Restaurant owner Maximilian Ortiz looks at Goodell similarly to Webre and Harrington. He appreciates all that Goodell has done in the past for the city. But he's still uncomfortable with how 2012 was handled by the league's highest office.
"While he did play a role in helping to keep the Saints in New Orleans after Katrina, that does not give him a pass when it comes to the 'Bounty' scandal," Ortiz said. "Would you praise the man who helped you rebuild your house if he burned it down seven years later? Absolutely not.
Sympathizing with the commissioner
If there's anyone who understands Goodell's involvement in helping New Orleans recover from the largest American man-made disaster, it's former Gov. Kathleen Blanco.
She worked hand-in-hand with Tagliabue and Goodell. She knows just how much Goodell was on the ground, helping move the Superdome project forward.
And she knows one thing that she says is fact.
"Let's just say if it wasn't for Roger's good work, I think that we might not be having this discussion because there was a serious possibility that the Saints could have gone to San Antonio if we had not been able to get the facility up in time for them to play their first game of the 2006 season in New Orleans," Blanco said one day recently.
Blanco still lives in the state and still calls herself a Saints fan. She, too, was upset to find out what the Saints were accused of running.
But she understands the position Goodell was in.
"Listen, I can sympathize with Roger because when I made the decision to get the Dome back up, the same screaming voices were screaming at me saying I had their priorities, that I should not be focusing on the Superdome," Blanco said.
As commissioner of the league, Goodell has been tasked with keeping it viable for a long time and that includes the safety of the players. With more information becoming available on concussions and their affect on players post-career and with the hundreds of lawsuits by thousands of former players against the NFL, Goodell couldn't be looking at the Saints case with just that one event in mind.
The penalties came down to Goodell alone – certainly a point of contention among Saints fans – and that's a difficult position to be in, Blanco said.
"Roger found himself in a really bad place in having to make some really tough decisions," Blanco said. "He wanted to make it clear, I assume, that he wouldn't tolerate this behavior, that the NFL would not tolerate this behavior. He was representing lots of owners, of course, when he makes these decisions. At the same time we all thought it was a little harsh."
Economics 101
Going back to Katrina, there was a reason the Superdome was put back together when it was – after being a symbol of despair, officials wanted it to become a symbol of a different kind.
And, economically, it could be the engine to drive the rebirth of a great American city.
"From my perspective, the Saints were a big piece of the economic recovery," Blanco said. "The Dome was a critical component. It had been a symbol of despair. In the nine month period we had to get it back up in, it became the symbol of hope."
When it opened on Sept. 27, 2006 with an emotional concert by U2 and Green Day and an even more intoxicating 23-3 win over NFC South rival Atlanta, Goodell was there.
"That was the most exciting game I think the NFL had ever played," Blanco said. "I know it was the most exciting game that the Saints had ever played. The Saints won and the city was lifted."
In other words, Goodell knows just what the Saints mean to the city.
"He understands the value of this city to the NFL and he has been such a huge partner for us for a long period of time," New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said. "Every time I've called on him, he has been of assistance."
In the time since, New Orleans has hosted two BCS championship games, an NCAA men's Final Four and an NFC championship game. The Superdome has become the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and is set to host the Super Bowl next Sunday.
That's not enough. New Orleans wants more and it wants more of the NFL.
"When you get into the business of what we're doing, you've got to get beyond all that stuff and not let one thing bleed into the other," Landrieu said. "I'm in the business of making sure that this city is a great place for people to live, to work, to play and the NFL has been a great partner for us. And we would not be able to have that partnership without Roger Goodell.
He added, "Which is why it's very important for everybody to rise above what happened on or didn't happen on the field last year and think about the bigger picture because I fully expect to be competing for future Super Bowls. It puts a lot of people to work. Its' very, very important and Roger has been a great friend and a great advocate in that regard and we should treat him that way."
Don't expect anything to happen
Landrieu has spent time lately trying to get out the message that Goodell should be treated respectfully in his visit to New Orleans.
Blanco also recognizes that Goodell is an important partner for the city to keep, saying, "It's time to put all that behind us and move forward. I know that we're going to move forward with Roger Goodell and the NFL working with us. The commissioner is an important person in the world of NFL football. We want to have a good relationship with him."
Ultimately, it's up to those living in the city to do what they do best – play gracious hosts. And Webre, the physical therapist, doesn't expect anything different.
"I really don't think so," Webre said. "I think here in New Orleans, we yell and scream a big game. I think as far as the big picture, I think people understand that based on his actions with this, if there's one kind of over the top thing, it does mean as long as he's commissioner it's the end of the Super Bowl here. That would be sad because universally sports writers and visitors say this is the place to have it."
But Webre also knows that Goodell won't get away unscathed, that he won't leave New Orleans without fully understanding what affect the commissioner has had.
"Do I think someone may yell something inappropriately to him?" Webre said. "I can see that happening. If he's out in public on a stage, do I think he's going to get a less-than-warm reaction? Yes. He's going to get booed. … If it's that, that's OK. I think fans have a right to express frustration with him."

Buying an election may be the way things are, but that situation certainly doesn't excuse the practice.
One abnormal case among thousands proves nothing.
Sal -- There has been a candidate at my door (not you).
You lead fundraising 8 fold, so why no filing????? It would be hard to believe it's the 50 bucks. So what's up?
And please, politicians are notorious for making promises today. Come tomorrow? Anything goes!
Look, I made the original comment because it's true (money, and only money, is the major factor in winning most elections). The comment was made about the upcoming elections, nothing personal. Since you have by far the largest 'war chest', it's understandable you would take exception. That exception, however, does zilch to justify the ugly truth.

Ryan Zimmerman is off to a slow start for the Nationals this season, hitting just .224/.324/.345 in 15 games with only one home run. He hasn't played since last Friday, sitting out with shoulder soreness, and now there's even worse news after he had a shoulder MRI:
"At this point, as far as I know, it's not real favorable," Manager Davey Johnson said. "It looks like he's going to need to some more rest. We'll just have to wait and see."
The Nationals planned to wait at least until Wednesday to make any roster moves. If Zimmerman lands on the disabled list, Johnson said he would use Mark DeRosa, Chad Tracy and Steve Lombardozzi to replace Zimmerman at third base.
The Nats expect further analysis of Zimmerman's MRI results from team doctor Wiemi Douoguih sometime later on Wednesday, and have several options to replace Zimmerman on the 25-man roster if he has to be placed on the DL.
Somehow, none of this has seemed to matter much for the Nats, who have won six of their last seven and are in first place in the NL East with the best record in the league, 13-4.

If USC's new interim head coach Ed Orgeron is only a placeholder, a stopgap measure meant to hold the status quo until the "real" head coach shows up, nobody told Orgeron. Then again, the status quo was "Lane Kiffin," and who would tell Orgeron to keep that up?
At any rate, USC is already a new-look program off the field thanks to Orgeron imprinting his personality on the team, and as you'd expect from a former defensive lineman who has been given the keys to a program, that starts with food.
Here's a note from Bruce Feldman about the changes at the training table:
So far, Orgeron's made a lot of smart moves as the interim head coach that are playing very well inside the program. He's been very energetic and upbeat. He made a strong statement that he wasn't going to use the sanctions or injuries as any excuse: "We're Trojans. We put 11 out on the field and we fight." He's brought sweets back to the training table. He catered Roscoe's (the legendary chicken and waffles place) for Thursday night dinner.
It's not all just stuffing the guys' faces with fried chicken, though. Also on the docket is the "Trojan Bowl," which involves the entire two-deep coaching everyone who's not on it (third-stringers and walkons) through a scrimmage. Here's more on that and the general mood at USC these days:
Maybe it'll be a short run for Orgeron, regardless of how his Trojans do. Starting 0-2 in conference play is a tough hole to dig out of, especially when games against Stanford and UCLA still loom. Maybe he's just determined to squeeze as much fun as possible out of these next two months and isn't even worried about using this as an audition to drop the "interim" tag. Maybe USC will respond with wins, maybe it won't. Maybe, maybe, maybe.
Sure seems like it'd be fun to stick around and find out, though.

Log in to your Library account
UCL Library Services aims to develop its widening participation (WP) and public engagement (PE) work, recognising that the need for all universities to engage is emphasised by central government and its cultural and educational agencies. 'Public' means, for the most part, individuals and groups with no formal UCL connection; 'engagement' covers a range of ways in which the Library can use the best of the Library's collections, its expertise and spaces on the campus to attract new audiences. Widening Participation refers specifically to UCL's outreach to schools in order to attract applications from students from non-traditional backgrounds.
The Library can showcase resources to UCL visitors and reach new audiences through visits (e.g. from/to schools) or via the Web. UCL Library Services will establish lasting and fruitful partnerships with UCL colleagues already working in these areas. These partnerships will help us determine priorities and will inform the approaches we take. WP and PE are in large part about identifying and attracting new audiences, so the Library must early on identify and engage these audiences with offerings from its spaces, resources and collections.
This is a new area of work for Library Services. Accordingly, many actions focus, for year 1 (11-12), on establishing where the Library is, on mapping successes to date and determining future priorities.
In the period 2011-14, UCL Library Services will aim to do demonstrably more work in the area of Widening Participation and Public Engagement, working with UCL partners to determine when and where such work is required.
The Library will develop innovative engagement tools and events to complement 'in-person' visits to libraries, exhibitions and so on.

SBF, It really really is simple and easy and extremely fun if you keep on top of it. Especially if you join a money league. You get really competitive and you might learn something bout analyzing player skills. I went out on a risk last year to get Randy Moss as like my 6th draft pick. It really did pay off when people were laughing at me for taking him. Trust me, join as many leagues as you can so you can stay busy when you are bored.
I join just a few a year. Usually join someone elses free one, I make a money one and then I'll join a local restaurant or something and try to win some free ish. My boy won Old Chicago's last year and got free pizza and beer for a year. Nice take for a free league.

The Denver Broncos -- all they do is win. The team is 7-1 under the leadership of Tim Tebow and riding a six-game winning streak. But will the New England Patriots be able to stop Tebow Time (or Denver Broncos Time, as Tebow prefers it to be called)? The Patriots opened as 4.5 point favorites, according to Odds Shark, but it moved quickly to between 6 and 7.5 points. But that's exactly where Tebow and the Broncos want the Patriots.
The Broncos, 8-5, hold a one-game lead over the Oakland Raiders in the AFC West. The easiest way to make the playoffs for the team is to win the remaining three games on the schedule. This is the toughest game for the Broncos on paper. The team will finally face a real quarterback in Tom Brady, who will have record-setting tight end Rob Gronkowski as his favorite target.
The over/under of 46 points might be a bit high if Tim Tebow is unable to exploit the Patriots weak secondary. But don't underestimate the ability of the Broncos defense to slow down the Patriots offense, either.
Odds Shark has more Week 15 NFL odds and lines. For more on this game, visit Patriots blog Pats Pulpit and Broncos blog Mile High Report. Check out SB Nation NFL for more news and notes around the league.

The Grateful Dead made a song about what Brian Crow has done in the past year. Something about what a long, strange trip it's been.
There are a lot of places to start but we might as well start with The Phone Call.
Five weeks ago Sonoma State University men's basketball coach Pat Fuscaldo received a voice message on his cell. It was from Kevin McKenna, assistant men's basketball coach at the University of Oregon. Call me. Fuscaldo practically jumped out of his skin in anticipation, which is unusual in itself, as Fuscaldo can't jump.
"Great," Fuscaldo thought to himself. "Oregon is calling to get a game with SSU next season."
Instead, McKenna asked, "What can you tell me about Brian Crow?"
Oops, Fuscaldo thought to himself, I didn't see that one coming. Not even from a mile away.
A year earlier Crow had left Sonoma State. He had played for SSU his freshman and sophomore years, loved the experience, loved his teammates, but as Fuscaldo said, "Brian always had this thing for Oregon."
Born in Santa Rosa, lived a bit in Rohnert Park, the Crow family moved to Marin and Crow played basketball for Novato High School. He played basketball against Sonoma County schools like Petaluma, Santa Rosa and Elsie Allen. Crow knew the area, loved it, but wanted to be farther away from home than 20 minutes, at a place that wasn't as familiar as the back of his hand.
"I like the rain," Crow said, "and I wanted to go to a high-level Division I program."
"But the chances will be slim that you'll play," said Fuscaldo, noting there's a big difference between Division I and Division II college basketball.
"I'm not going to play," Crow told his coach. "I'm going there to study. I want to sit in the stands and root on Oregon's teams."
On Wednesday, Crow amplified that last paragraph.
"I retired from basketball at the age of 20," he said.

hi all,
plz tell me how to get full view image from SVGT ???
plz help.
thanks in advance.
hi all,
plz tell me how to get full view image from SVGT ???
plz help.
thanks in advance.
which way have you tried already ?
I'm rather sure that wiki has some example codes for opening images, so have a look into there, and ask more questions when you find problems.
Thanks for ur reply.
I am able to see the full view image from mbm.But I need to do the same from SVG/SVGT.
Please suggest me how to do this.
and how have you tried on doing it ?
And what is going wrong with the approach, i.e. what happens, and what does not happen ?
Some description would be really nice.
.mbm and .svg are not comparable in this context (.mbm is a collection of .bmp files, where .mbm can be handled via CFbsBitmap::Load for example, but .bmp can be also handled, however requiring image conversion with CImageDecoder. On the other hand you cannot use .svg-s directly, you require .mif-s, and .mif-s are better handled with AknIconUtils, and - as being scalable - they also require a AknIconUtils::SetSize).
ya,I showed the full view image by first converting the .bmp file to .mbm file using bmconv. and then using CFbsBitmap and gc.BitBlt.That is working successfully.
Now i have converted .bmp to .svg.
I am checking that if it can be able to show this .svg image as a fullview image.Actually in my project i should use .svg image only for displaying an image i.e. i shouldnot use .mbm.
If there is any way to show .svg as full screen image???
Plz help me.
You should convert .svg to .mif in a similar way as you would convert .bmp to .mbm. Mifconv.exe is the utility you need in general. You can check how examples use it (for creating application icons) in bld.inf+something.mk.

Not only are there 2 Vezina finalists in the Canucks-Preds series, but there are now 2 Jack Adams finalists as well. AV, Barry Trotz and Penguins coach Dan Bylsma are the 3 coaches up for the award. Who's your pick? Here is a look at past finalists and there you can see that a coach that wins the President's Trophy doesn't always win the Jack Adams. If that's the case my pick is Trotz for turning horsesh*t into honey in Nashville. And by that I mean he has less talent to play with given the Preds' low cap spending. Neither Bylsma nor Trotz have ever won the award. AV won it in 2007 for doing what I said Trotz did above.
It's cute when the Ottawa media catches up with the West Coast.

Most people don't know it, but heat sensors are tracking your every move in local Krogers. The company says the technology decreases wait times for a more efficient, in and out, check-out experience.
The sensors use infrared technology to count the number of customers, as well as measure shopping speeds. The data goes in to an algorithm, predicting when customers will be ready for check-out.
"It does work, it works really well," said Kroger customer Chris Call in an interview Friday. "I usually don't have to wait here, whereas at other places, you do have to wait."
Data predictions can change depending on the day, with customers more likely to shop slower on weekends, and faster after quitting time.
"Sunday there are people in here doing what I call power-shopping," said Ed Southern, manager of the Carytown Kroger. "They're coming in here to get a week's worth of groceries. They're going to take a lot longer than your Friday night customer who is here for beer, pizza, the quick shop."
By looking up at screens near the front of every local Kroger, people can see what the sensors are telling the employees. Three numbers are displayed, showing the current, optimal, and future number of check-out lanes that should be open.
"The first number is how many lanes open we have right now," Southern said. "Based on our data, the number labeled "action now" means how many lanes we should have open. The third number is the expectation of how many lanes should be open thirty minutes from now."
Kroger estimates the devices have slashed wait times from around four minutes, to thirty seconds.

3.94/5 rDev +17.6%
The beer pours slightly hazy amber with lots of visible tiny bubbles and a thin, off-white head. The aromas of pumpkin and cranberry are present. I also get some mild earthiness and along with the cinamon, nutmeg, and allspice. The taste follows the nose. The spice is present in the front and back along with plenty of pumpkin and cranberry. You would never guess this beer is 6% ABV. The body is medium to full with spritzy carbonation. This beer still drinks pretty easy despite that. This is a very good beer.

A: A pretty hazy medium copper beer with an orange hue. My head is a thin raft of long lasting off-white bubbles but I don't know if how the glassware was cleaned could be at fault.
S: Medium pumpkin and caramel malt with some bread malt and spices supporting. There is a moderate fruit ester that much like the spice is complimentary and not oblivious as to the origin.
T: The malt and spice take the led at a moderate level with a blend of pumpkin, crystal malt and some fruit close behind. Some of the lemongrass and cranberry flavors a distinguishable with a light tartness. The spice and some hops bitterness provide the balance against the low malt sweetness. It's a dry beer with a dry finish and a spice aftertaste that mixes with some fruit and pumpkin.
M: Medium bodied with a strong level of carbonation.
O: A good example of a spice, herb, veg beer. A bit more to offer than the typical pumpkin with some interesting additions; I like that neither the spice nor malt took over to overwhelmed the flavors.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy golden orange with a small fizzy white head that quickly goes to a thin collar.
The aroma is pumpkin spices (nutmeg, cinnamon) with some malt.
The flavor is some vegetative pumpkin and light spice (mostly cinnamon) with a bit of medicinal bitterness. I don't get much cranberry or lemongrass. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation and is a bit watery.
Overall, a bit of a letdown. Might be better if they waited and used real pumpkin rather than releasing in July.

12oz brown bottle with a freshness date.
Bright amber color, good lacing all the way. Pumpkin, cranberry tannin, spice, bread, and a hint of alcohol in the nose. Solid smoothness, modest but noticeable spicing, pumpkin, light cranberry tartness, muted hops, bread, dry finish.
Pumpkick has a slight edge over the usual pumpkin ales ... the mild cranberry character and good use of spice is just that. Worth a go.

Reddish amber hued. Head is a couple of millimeters thick. Great clarity with this beer. Pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg with a touch of cranberry following in the nose. The mouthfeel is moderate as their is some alcohol here, but it is pretty smooth considering all of those ingredients. I get the pumpkin and cinnamon on the palate. At the back I get the spiciness of cinnamon and perhaps from the hops I get the pinpricks on the tongue. I get just shiny of cranberry in the aftertaste. It was used subtly and that was wise. I like a but more pumpkin flavoring in my pumpkin beers, but it's a good brew.

4.11/5 rDev +22.7%
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a New Belgium Globe glass. Bottle says best before 16th of Feb, 14.
Appearance: Pours a deep caramel amber orange with a lot of rising bubbles. About one finger of off white head that fades into a thin patchy layer. Leaves a decent amount of lacing around the glass.
Smell: An earthy pumpkin aroma with hints of spices along with berries and citrus. Upfront earthy hints of pumpkin. Fall spice hints including cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and allspice. Juicy hints of the cranberries and lemon come through. Bready malt with hints of sweet caramel, toffee, biscuit, grains, and yeast. Subtle earthy hop hints. A pretty solid and interesting aroma.
Taste: Like the aroma, a solid earthy taste of pumpkins along with notes of fall spices and added fruits. Upfront taste of pumpkins. Mix of spices including notes of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and allspice. Fruity taste of cranberries along with some lemongrass. Pale malts with notes of sweet caramel, toffee, grains, biscuit, and yeast. Earthy hop notes linger in the background. A pretty nice taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Juicy, spicy, and fairly drying and smooth.
Overall: A pretty solid twist on a pumpkin ale. The added fruits mix well with the pumpkin and spices.

Town Square
Fears on Ice
Original post made by Jennifer Fogliani on Feb 27, 2012
So you can imagine my shock when a commercial for Toy Story on Ice appeared on the TV, and Josie begged me to take her. At first, I resisted. But then I thought it might be a good gateway into other events and experiences. It might help her overcome her fear of dressed up characters.
When we got to the entrance of the HP Pavilion, Josie started to regret her decision. "Um, I think we can go another time," she said.
"Keep walking," I said, tugging her gently by the hand. By the time we got to the concession stand, she was shaking.
"Is she cold?" My husband, Norm, asked.
"She's terrified," I responded calmly. I had seen Josie like this on several occasions - on the first day of gymnastics - on the first day of preschool - on the first day of any new thing she has ever tried. "She'll be fine in a minute," I said.
Sure enough, a minute later, she was shaking in her seat. Only now it was to the rhythm of "We got the beat" - the theme song for Barbie's big dance solo. A minute later, she was dancing in the aisles with other toddler sized Toy Story fanatics.
During intermission, Josie asked, "Mom, can we go to other shows like this?"
I quickly did a simple internet search on my cell phone and discovered several kid focused theater performances in the Bay Area. This March, the Peninsula Youth Theater is performing Cinderella at the Mountain View Center for Performing Arts and Pinkalicious The Musical is coming to the East Bay.
Suddenly, the lights dimmed and the Toy Story characters started skating by. "Barbie just waved to me!" Josie said with the biggest smile I had ever seen on her pretty, little face. She was thrilled. And it was thrilling for me to see the performance through her eyes. Hopefully, this is the end of Josie's fears of dressed up characters and the beginning of a whole new list of fun things for us to do together.

How smart of you to gently introduce Josie to experiences with mascot characters! When you think about it, mascots aren't quite human, they are larger than life, and somewhat odd. No wonder Josie was scared- she sounds like a very intelligent child with a healthy sense of self preservation. Anytime we humans experience something new, that is also frightening. A new mascot experience could very well be a "double whammy", seen through the eyes of a child. Even Santa can be frightening for kiddies!

This lady Rosi is always one of the first to comment on your articles, im suspecting she is family. I found a Rose Fogliani in San Francisco and when Rosi posts she always puts "resident of another community".
on Feb 29, 2012 at 8:18 pm
@ detective
I am surprised your super sleuthing did not uncover that I am not related to a Rose Fogliani nor have I ever met her. Perhaps I should email you my social security number to make it easier for you.
While there are many people who have made it very clear that they do not like my writing, there are in fact people that arent related to me that like my writing. Amazing I know.

Hi Keisy! This essential oil is great as an insect repellent, and is also great in lotions and soaps. You may like it blended with Bergamot Pure Essential Oil or Cedarwood Essential Oil.
Reply from Bramble Berry
Hi Cheryl! I'm sorry to hear this essential oil is not your favorite. I find that it does blend extremely well with other essential oils such as Lavender Essential Oil, or
Chamomile Essential Oil.

"The issue is well over 24 hours old now, and it's been 'officially' confirmed for nearly 24. That's a very long time to have AV [antivirus] in a faulty state," a user named mjmurra wrote hours before McAfee released VSE 8.8 Hotfix 793640 to remediate the issue. "At least one saving grace is that many customers had their machine switched off over the weekend," he said in a later post.
VSE 8.8 Hotfix 793640 is mandatory and includes the full DAT 6809 package, McAfee said.
Because of this the file is approximately 100MB in size and deploying it to thousands of machines posed a challenge for some administrators.
"McAfee is working on a smaller solution that will remediate the issue without the need to include the full DAT package," the company said. "There is no current ETA for this release."
In the meantime, McAfee recommended that the hotfix be deployed in stages on networks with offsite branches, where it might cause bandwidth issues. "For example, schedule the update task to run for one group at a time," the company said.
Another problem encountered by administrators was determining which of the systems under their care were affected. The ones with the buggy DAT files should report a DAT and antivirus engine version of 0.0000 to the central ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) server.
However, after the hotfix is deployed, some computers can continue to report this bogus information because of caching until they are forced to provide full property data to the ePO server, McAfee said.
Even though the hotfix does not force a reboot, the company recommended that administrators reboot all client systems at their earliest convenience in order to validate that the fix was successfully installed.
Some users whose affected systems include servers were not happy with this. "This has predominantly affected our servers and rebooting them isn't an option," a customer named harris_s said on the McAfee forum on Tuesday.
"I work in a very tightly controlled environment and rolling out a 100mb hotfix that MAY require a reboot ASAP is not going to happen," a user named Superhoop said.
This is not the first time that McAfee has issued a bad DAT file. In April, a DAT update for McAfee email gateway security products resulted in system crashes and message scan failures.
However, McAfee is not the only antivirus company that was forced over the years to deal with buggy updates that affected their customers' computers in a serious manner.
"Since these events are becoming a worrying trend, should we implement test procedures inside our organizations as we do with other updates like the ones deployed by Microsoft with Windows Update?" Manuel Humberto Santander Pelaez, a security incident handler at the SANS Internet Storm Center, asked in a blog post on Monday.
Some users who responded to his blog post believe that testing every antivirus update would cost too much time and resources compared to the possible benefits. Others said that delaying the update deployment by 24 hours or deploying the updates in stages starting with the least critical systems would limit the impact of a bad update.
Delaying antivirus updates increases a computer's window of exposure to the latest threats. However, this is a calculated risk that some administrators are apparently willing to take.

Police, media demonize Kenneth Harding's family
by Minister of Information JR
JR: You are listening to the Minister of Information JR on Hard Knock Radio. Today we are talking to Denika Chatman, mother of Kenneth Harding, who was murdered July 16 in Hunters Point over a $2 transfer for Muni. Denika, how are you?
DC: I'm hanging in there. Thank you for asking.
JR: Can you tell us a little about your son Kenneth Harding? How old was he and what was he like?
DC: Kenny was 19; he would have been 20 on Aug. 5. The kind of person he was: He's been in church all his life, he loved his mother, he loved his brother and he loved his baby sister, and to me he was a very giving person – not selfish at all. He had a very open heart and he would do whatever it took to try and help somebody. He was always bringing somebody home that needed help.
JR: Can you talk about July 16? What happened July 16 and how did you hear about it?
DC: Actually, I didn't hear about it until July 17, when I saw a news report on the Seattle news and they stated that a 19-year-old male had been in a fatal shoot-out with San Francisco police, and somewhere within my heart it felt like it was my son. So I had called my aunt and asked her if she could call out there and find out if it was him or not, and she was asking me why would I think that it was Kenny.
I got a phone call from him on Friday and he told me, "You see the area code; you see where I'm at. Don't trip; I'm fixing to take care of my music and I'll be right back." And I told him, you know, "Kenny, what are you doing?" And he said, "Mom, don't trip. I promise you I'm coming right back. I just gotta take care of this."
And that was the last time I talked to him and when my aunt called back, she asked me to confirm any of his tattoos, which he had "love" on one hand and "hate" on the other. And so she called back to the mortuary – or to the ME (medical examiner), I should say – and they verified that it was him and they had also ran his fingerprints through FBI, and he also had his state ID in his pocket, so they knew it was him as well. And after that I got a phone call from the ME.
JR: You know, how do you feel about how they tried to characterize your son and you and your family as a whole in the media when the police shot your son over a $2 Muni transfer?
DC: Well, first of all, I don't think that they knew he would have a mother who would run to his rescue, and on top of that an intelligent mother, and I think they thought it would go unheard of – wasn't anybody going to speak up and say anything. But I didn't come by myself; I came with strong Black powerful leaders.
JR: Can you talk a little bit about how they accused your son Kenny of one thing, being involved in an attempted murder and all, then they accused your other son of something like that and then released him and they were very quiet about it. I wouldn't even have known that they released him had I not worked at the San Francisco Bay View newspaper.
DC: That's fine. They didn't start implicating Kenny in the young lady's death until he was dead and the Thursday after his death I received a call from a Seattle detective. He wanted to know if I had any questions in regards to Kenny and I told them that they set us up to be targets and put me and my family out there as if he had something to do with this. And I told them, "Excuse me, I know damn well my son didn't have anything to do with the young lady's death."
I wept for her; I grieve for her family. However, we didn't have anything to do with that. The detective told me that they had Kenny and another boy and two other girls on aerial video, who I know from the corner store down the street, so they know he was in that area that night; and what he stated was, he wanted to know if they had stayed or if they had left before the shooting.
My point to him was, "You guys sit up here and make up targets like this and all you wanted to do was ask my son if they stayed around during the shooting. Common sense would tell you that, if there was a shooting, no – he didn't stick around. He ran; you know what I mean. So you guys set us up like this and put us out here like this to be targets for anyone to think that he had something to do with it."
And he wants to tell me it wasn't the police, it was the media. And I'm like, you guys work hand in hand, you know; one feeds the other. And then as far as my older son (Ondrell), with the other – I'm not even going to say killing; it was a death that occurred. And what had happened is that the man – his name was Anthony, who died – he's my daughter's father's best friend. He called my kids nephews; they called him uncle.
My son had been living over there for months before I even moved back here from California. And I just moved back here from Vallejo in April because I knew Kenny was going to be getting out and he was going to need a place to be released to and he was going to need his mom. So my oldest son, he still remained living over there. He helped them a lot; he took care of them, he paid their rent, he made sure that Anthony and his wife and his son ate everyday. So what it is is a tragedy.
He loved us; we loved him. Now we can't even see about their family because of what occurred. And what happened was – I can't get into the specifics – but all I know is they had received the autopsy report back in 24 minutes, so they knew my son had nothing to do with his death, but they still wanted to put us through this. They raided my home with three different SWAT teams; they put "armed and dangerous" in the computer for my son to give them the right to shoot to kill him.
On top of that, the detective threatened my son's life, telling me to my face that it's a shame what happened to my son in California, but it would be a bigger shame if the same thing occurred here. So at that point I was just really through; I couldn't believe how he was actually sitting here threatening my son's life. And I know that that's why they brought the SWAT team out was so that they could kill him.
But outside of that, we hired an attorney, had him take him in. They never filed any charges; they released him with no pending charges. And it's a shame because we're going through so much out here for nothing because of what occurred to my youngest son out there in California.
JR: For those of you who are just tuning in, we are talking to Denika Chatman, the mother of Kenneth Harding, who was murdered July 16 in Hunters Point over a $2 bus transfer. I am the Minister of Information JR as we continue this conversation. Ms. Denika, can you tell us what is going on with your son Kenneth's body right now? Can you talk a little bit about the funds you need, what you need them for and what's going on?
DC: Basically, we have collected half – I still have a balance owing of $1,680. We have set up a donation account through any Wells Fargo Bank. All you need to do is let them know it is a Washington account and it's for Kenneth Harding Jr. if you would like to make any donations. However, we've been mostly having all payments forwarded to Bonney-Watson Mortuary, just so that there is no question about where the funds are going or what it's for.
We also have a memorial Facebook page set up as well, and it's at Facebook under Kenneth Harding Jr. and you can receive all the information there as well. I appreciate all the support and love and care and just giving nature of everyone this has affected, everyone who has just stepped up to be there to support us, all the community from Bayview, all the activists, the NAACP, Rev. Brown, the president in (San Francisco) California.
We have the full support of the Nation of Islam and I would like to thank the Honorable Louis Farrakhan for sending someone out here to Seattle to find us. And we have also been under their protective custody. They have been watching out for us and making sure no harm comes to us as well.
They have also organized a community town hall meeting for Kenny just to set the record straight for all the naysayers and onlookers because me and my son get a lot of backlash now when we leave the house and go into public from other people's ignorance. And they don't even think that if he were actually a murderer or had killed somebody, you wouldn't even be seeing him right now.
And another record I would like to set straight is how they posted and stated that Kenny was a rapist and had messed with a 14-year-old girl and pimping and pandering. What the news doesn't tell you is that Kenny was 17 at the time all of this took place and that the court had subpoenaed and received the online conversations on MySpace between him and her and found the conversations where she was lying about her age.
And, if Kenny was a rapist, he would have been required to register as a sex offender, OK? And outside of that, if he was pimping and pandering, he would still be locked up – he'd be doing five to 10. He got a reduced sentence because of the proof of the conversations that took place online and because she offered and he accepted.
JR: Right on. You were just listening to the voice of Denika Chatman, the mother of Kenneth Harding, here on the Block Report with the Minister of Information JR. If you would like to get more information about Kenneth Harding, you can go to sfbayview.com.

the mirror
Delude yourself as you please. Your son was a thug, living the thug life. he died as he lived. I'm sure you are are able to convince yourself of his righteous nature, except in those few moments before you fall asleep each night. You know who and what your son was and no amount of public denial can change it.↓
"the mirror." I guess the police have their flunkies and informants online to carry out further character assasinations. Typical theatrics of the U.S. corporate-police state we now reside in. Rest in peace Kenneth Harding.↓
the mirror
calling me a flunky or informant, while offensive, changes nothing. If I understand your logic, thugs are just victims of the police while the rest of us who mange to live outlives without getting arrested are just lucky.
As far as I'm concerned the police are dangerous fucking morons I avoid them at all cost by not breaking laws, running or hanging out with thugs↓
While I have no love for the police or their authoritarian tactics, brutality and lying I reject entirely the one-sided view this interview represents. There are many questions yet to be answered about the circumstances of Kenneth Harding's death, however, ignoring his past and the circumstances that brought him to this end serves no one. Kenneth Harding's death , while tragic, is a teachable moment for all young brothers and the dangers they face. The only way we can survive as a culture is by elevating our own behavior. As black men we must be better, stronger , have ethics beyond reproach and, most of all be accountable to ourselves and community. I don"t know how or why Kenneth Harding chose his path. He was not an innocent. Given more time he might of had an opportunity to learn and correct his course. Instead, like many young men, his was a dangerous path and his life unfortunately ended at the hands of the police but it could as just as easily been another young black man a gun. Unless we rid ourselves of violence ,criminality and drugs we might as well sign our own death warrant. As black people we have and continue to endure injustice but injustice does not make us powerless. In the accordance with the teachings of brothers Malcolm, Farrakhan and Hampton we must rise up and chart our own course and that journey must begin with brutally honest self-reflection about who we are, where we must go and the challenges that undermine us from within.↓
I dont believe anyone with antenna.↓
A mother
The video is too much for me to watch!↓
I don't think its fair for someone to comment on and categorize a person they don't know personally. Who is "the mirror" and what gives this person the right to tell a mother who her son is? A "thug" is still a human being and deserves to be treated with humanity and respect no matter what choices he or she has made in his or her life. What happened to this woman's son has no justification.↓
