A coalition of community groups that sought to block development of a Dick's Sporting Goods near Coddingtown mall over fears it might interfere with a future bicycle and pedestrian bridge have dropped their appeal after getting the developer to acknowledge plans for the span.
The Community Connector Bridge Advocacy Group was set to ask the City Council Tuesday to overturn the approval of the Cleveland Avenue project being proposed by Codding Enterprises on the site of the former Los Robles Lodge.
The group, which included Sonoma County Conservation Action and Friends of SMART, felt the project was approved by the city's Design Review Board without regard for how it might affect a future bridge over Highway 101, which long-range plans show landing in the general area of the project.
But the group withdrew its opposition Monday after Codding officials agreed to include in its development application a formal acknowledgment of plans for the bridge.
"Although we felt strongly that our appeal had merit, we are much happier to reach agreement with Codding and Dick's Sporting Goods to establish a collaborative relationship going forward," said Dennis Rosatti, executive director of Sonoma County Conservation Action. "This agreement satisfies our desire for the developer to acknowledge the bridge's existence."
Codding agreed to add language its application acknowledging that the project is located in the boundaries of the North Station Area Plan, a plan meant to guide more intensive growth in the area around the future rail station at Guerneville Road.
It also acknowledges that the plan "identifies an area near the project site where a Community Connector Bridge may be developed" along Cleveland Avenue somewhere between Edwards and Jennings avenues.
The community groups were concerned that if the 50,000-square-foot store and smaller retail space on the corner of Edwards and Cleveland avenue were developed as planned, officials from Dick's or Codding might oppose the bridge in the future.

Afrika! Black people! Afrikans! Let's do like China did and put the whole continent on lockdown by closing our doors to the rest of the world until we're ready to come back out again as a superpower.
May 16, 2010
"We're trying to get in. Some people don't want us in." That's the message Willie Ratcliff took from the bullet that crashed through our bedroom window at 1:45 a.m. on Thursday, May 13. Ratcliff has a hunch it was fired by someone trying to scare him out of competing to build the new Bayview Library. Someone must be scared that Black power is about to break the 12-year lockout of Blacks from construction in San Francisco. Black power does not bow to a bullet.

In a prior fanpost, I suggested that we should consider having people bring signs to UCLA games where we could be on camera "Save UCLA Athletics, Fire Dan Guerrero" or something along those lines. The hope was to embarass Chancellor Block to come out of his shell and address the situation. This led to a broader discussion of how best to interact with Chancellor Block, and hopefully generate some commentary from him. The commentary would either confirm that he doesn't care (my suspicion) or that he does care (and is waiting for the right time to relieve us from our misery).
Either way, we do need to find out where he stands. In this connection, we were hoping to find out when he would be meeting with alums and/or students. We could then plan to attend with some directed questions. I hit a brick wall on the Chancellor's Office website, on the UCLA Alumni Association website, and on the UCLA Fund website. I assume his future schedule is not publicized widely for a reason, which does not necessarily have anything to do with us.
So we need to find out through other channels when he will be in a public setting with alums and/or students. Anybody with info- please share. This would be very helpful. The intent would be to be respectful of the occasion, but to draw him out in an appropriate fashion. Thanks.

Tooting youth club still closed despite council promise (From Wandsworth Guardian)

Triangle One O'Clock Club, in Emmanuel Road, Tooting, still closed despite Wandsworth Council promise
5:30am Friday 13th June 2014 in News By Sophia Sleigh, Chief Reporter
Concerns have been raised after a 'life-line' playgroup failed to re-open despite promises from Wandsworth Council.
Eight months ago the Triangle One O'Clock Club, in Emmanuel Road, Tooting Common, closed to the public for renovation work, with parents told it would re-open in April.
This deadline was mised and now Tooting MP Sadiq Khan has discovered it will not reopen until July at the earliest.
The club closed in November so the council could carry out a £120,000 refurbishment and install flood defences after it was plagued by flooding.
The council claim it is the rain which hit London over the winter which has caused the delays.
Parents, who rely on the service, have been travelling to access similar facilities.
Mr Khan said it is not the first time the council had failed to stick to their word when it comes to children's centre after it emerged earlier this year the privatised Windmill One O'Clock Club would not provide 'stay and play' in the afternoons and weekends and would only run twice a week.
The Labour MP said: "Parents feel let down and frustrated by this latest development – they have already been without their One O'Clock club for three months longer than was planned and now they just want the council to be open and honest with them."
Labour councillor for Bedford Rosena Allin-Khan said: "The club has long been a lifeline for local parents, who are really struggling without it."
A council spokesman said: "The project was delayed slightly following the extremely rainy weather that hit London and the south east in the winter months - especially as this part of Tooting Common is prone to localised flooding.
"When it reopens, the new-look centre will offer a full daily range of free children's and family services including drop-in stay and play, health advice and parenting support."

Today someone asked me "Are you going to Coachella?" And I responded by saying "I wouldn't go there for fun if that's what you mean. Going to 3 day long outdoor music festivals are probably on my list of Top 10 Least Favorite Things To Do."
Then it occurred to me that I should actually make that list!
So here it is!
(And btw, I realize my answer sounds flippant and rude but within the context of the conversation it was more "ha ha." But I still meant it).
1. Outdoor Music Festivals: I don't care if Elvis is playing. A 3 day long music festival IN THE DESERT? Really? That sounds like fun to you? Let's talk outfits first off. You want to look cool right? But you also need to be comfortable. The two don't go hand in hand. It's gonna be a million degrees and you think your jean shorts aren't gonna chaff the inside of your thighs? And how about going to the bathroom? You're gonna be drinking all day. Let's wait in line for the port-o-potty (those fuckers are on my top 20 least favorite things)and sit in a bathroom with diarrhea splashed against the walls. Oh and I bet you can't wait to get up reallllly close for… RADIOHEAD?!?! THE WORST BAND EVER. Being up close in the mosh pit, okay, that's your choice if you're 17 years old or younger, but if you're not up super close, chances are you're gonna be standing really far. Almost as far as not even being there at all. I'll be standing as far away as one would from a TV. Actually I'll be sitting, comfortably in front of a TV. And if the TV is showing said music festival, I'll be changing the channel.
2.Roller Coasters: That's right, I said it. I hate them. You have to stand in line forever to go on a 5 second ride that isn't comfortable, makes you feel sick, all your change falls out, and you have to sit next to either a stranger or a friend and what… scream really loud? How awkward is that? Are you supposed to raise your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care? Well I care! Because I'm scared! Am I supposed to pretend like I'm bored? I don't get the roller coaster. Spills and chills? None for me thanks.
3. Water Sports: What's wrong with just swimming? Why do I have to "keep trying" to get up on water skies or a body board or whatever because you know I'm gonna fall off in 2 seconds. And the entire boat is now watching all of my failed attempts. Falling down in general isn't a good look but how about falling down in a bikini?
4. Peer Pressure To Do The Above 3 Things: I'm old enough to know what I like and what I don't like for the most part, so don't call me a pussy or tell me to "just try it." I have tried it, and I didn't like it, so don't try to convince me I will. I jumped off a cliff into fresh spring water. It didn't feel like "freedom" it just felt fucking cold. And also it hurt. It was a high jump. Can you not make me do it again?
5. Dinner Parties: I remember when I first saw the movie Pretty In Pink and Andie shows up to the mansion for the rich kids party and the girl notices her pearls and goes "Nice pearls. This isn't a dinner party honey." They proceed to get wasted and put pizza on the record player and that's when I knew dinner parties weren't for me. Don't invite me to your gay potluck because the only thing I'm bringing is a pack of cigarettes for myself. If that. Save that glass of white wine for someone who cares (about being boring).
6. Dick Riding: I'm specifically thinking of when I either go to a party or away for the weekend. Are we not old enough to know how to be alone for a little while? We don't ALWAYS need to do everything together. If you want to lay out and I want to go shopping, it doesn't mean that we're "in a fight." If I'm sitting alone at a bar it doesn't mean that "something is wrong," it just means that my friend is talking to someone else and I'm okay to not be involved in the convo. If something is wrong, I'll leave. I'm a big girl. I can find my way home without it being a huge deal. Alone time equals a good time, a necessary time, so get off this dick!
7. Getting Sprayed With A Hose Or Being Shot In The Face With A Water Balloon:
You got me! Now I'm wet! You win! I'm wet and look dumb. Thanks for the "surprise."
8. When You Sing The Lyrics To The Song In My Face: Right, I get it. You know every word to "She Keeps On Passing Me By" by the Pharcyde. Yeah yeah, you totalllllly used to listen to it in high school. That's so cool. How uncomfortable is it when you're out and a song comes on and the good friend that you're with starts looking at you right in your eye-holes super hard and sings the lyrics. Like what are you supposed to do? Look away? Look back and smile? Start singing along? There is no right answer because the act itself is very wrong. Just thinking about it is giving me the creeps. It's one thing to sing along to something together…that's fun. But when someone sings AT you it's just plain rude. It's the difference between a conversation and lecture but in song form (double ew).
9. When You Say Something And Your Friends Nudge Each Other And They Think You Can't Tell: Not only can I tell, but now I just feel really bad about myself. Turns out these people aren't the greatest friends in the world. Do I need their approval? Do I need them to like me? I don't think so.
10. When People Say "It's Just A Game" And Then Change The Rules: Um no, that's not how games work. You can't play celebrity and fuck up and just expect to get away with it. Maybe if you're 7, but if you're an adult playing a game, play by the rules. There is a humor curb. Like if you wanna break a rule that's okay but make sure it's hilarious. We'll let it slide for laughs, but there's no pussy exception. This doesn't mean take the game UBER seriously. That's gay too and also makes people feel weird, because making sure you win in an adult game is also for 7 year olds.

Let's say you're at a party, and the only free drinks are vodka and Red Bull, and you are currently on the wagon. So you proceed to drink Red Bull after Red Bull. By your sixth Red Bull, you start to believe that you are in fact, a red bull, so you go home and repeatedly ram your head into the wall. You start to panic when you can taste your heart beating. So you call your BFF and she races over at 4 a.m. with Xanax in hand. When you don't calm down, she calls Poison Control, who tell her to take you to the hospital immediately. But you don't want to go, so instead she rubs your back until you fall asleep, and then she quietly leaves. —-Now you know.

THOMAS COUNTY, GA (WALB) – We now know the name of a man killed in a crash Wednesday afternoon in Thomas County.
Troopers tell us 78-year-old Maurice Murphy of Thomasville was killed. His Ford pickup collided with a tractor trailer at the intersection of Alternate State Route 3 and the Highway 84 bypass a little before 3:30 Wednesday afternoon.
Eastbound traffic on the bypass was detoured for several hours. Authorities say they are still investigating what caused the crash.
"We have about three witnesses, one at the store. We're still checking that witness, and we have video also from the store we're investigating that also," said Trooper Michael Moses, Georgia State Patrol.
The driver of the tractor trailer was not hurt.
Georgia State Patrol's Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team is investigating.

So Love is coming to town right after 4th of July (on or about 7th). There is already some interesting speculation going on wrt where Love is going to play in Howland's 2007 rotation. Mitch Chortkoff from the Santa Monica Mirror (never heard of this rag) wrote up a little profile on Kevin Love (since KL was born in Santa Monica). He speculates Love being at 4:
At 6-foot-9, 240, he was a dominant center in high school. But since UCLA has Lorenzo Mata returning at center, Love is likely to play power forward.
If that happens, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute would shift to small forward and Josh Shipp to guard, where he would team with Collison and replace Arron Affalo, who left school early to enter the NBA draft.
I don't think putting Love at the four and Mata at center is what the coaching staff thinks will give UCLA its best lineup. I also don't think Love is coming to UCLA to play power forward, and that is not where he will best be utilized.
I think Love might up playing at the 5 during most of time at UCLA. However, early in the season I think Howland is not going to shy away from experimenting with his lineups to see how he can have most talent on the floor at the same time. This means putting Shipp at 2, sliding Luc at 3, inserting Love at 4, and ever improving defensive bruiser Mata at 5. I really think Howland is going to try that combination which will give more room to play around with AA2 and Keefe as the backups. So I think its a little premature to say that Love is going to exclusively play at the 5. And the preseason schedule will (hopefully) allow Howland to do this kind of experimentation so that he can have his his best lineups set for the conference season.
Speaking of Shipp he is coming around per Dohn:

Poured from 12 oz bottle into Portsmouth Brewery tulip. About time I spread the wealth with my glassware. Had let the bottle sit out from the fridge for about 20 minutes before pouring.
A: Very, very dark brown. Almost black. Despite aggressive (read: full vertical pour), there was virtually no head. For a beer with a not so high ABV, this is a bit surprising, but not off-putting by any means.
S: Chocolate covered raisins all the way through. I'm usually not a huge dark fruits fan, but this smells awesome. I'm almost picking up on some prunes. Very intense smell.
T: The smell is replicated on the palette. I'm not picking up on a lot of the barrel, but it makes sense since it was blended. When I think about it, I can definitely pick up on it, but otherwise, I'd be none the wiser. Again, not a big dark fruits guy, but I'm digging this.
M: Velvety smooth and entirely enjoyable. Wouldn't want more than a few of these at a time, but the ABV is well hidden.
O: The only shortcoming is the initial appearance, but otherwise this beer is nothing short of great. If you see this, give it a shot without thinking twice about it.

A: Poured Jet black with a small dirty head that dissipates very rapidly leaving zero bubbles and light lace
S: Light peppery rye, vanilla, some light bourbon, cocoa
T: Muddled and confused. While I taste an initial light cocoa and bourbon the flavors tend to be muddy, undefined and sloppy. Vanilla peaks in with some roasted malts. Finish is a little sweet and syrupy
M: Rather well bodied, low carbonation is not satisfying and I believe t hampers the taste and creaminess of this beer
O: Average at best with some flaws.

poured 12oz bottle into Tyranena snifter
A - Deep, dark burnt chocolate brown bordering on obsidian. Frothy 1.5 finger head, impressive in a beer that is barrel aged and about 9 months aged. Collar around the glass with small spots of lacing.
S - A nice roasty light rye, bready smell. Good hints of whiskey and barrel come through. Bakers chocolate, caramel, and vanilla seem to be hidden along with some sweet brown sugar.
T - Wonderful flavor of sweet, dark chocolate and roasted malts. Hints of whiskey and the barrel mix in with a slight rye spiciness. Sweet caramel, and brown sugar. Very nice as it warms and brings the flavor out even more so.
M - Medium bodied, very rich, smooth and mellow. No alcohol burn.
O - This is a great blended barrel aged porter 40% BA mixed back in to the porter. The rye whiskey barrels were a great choice. Ages very nicely.

12oz bottle into a tulip
A: Pours a dark brown with a really big and thick light brown head that fades to a small layering and leaves some nice lacing on the glass. The head was so thick I couldn't swirl the beer at first until it go to about a 1/4 of an inch tall.
S: The nose is good for a regular porter but this is partially aged in barrels so I expected a bit more. Most bakers chocolate, cocoa, and chocolate milk. There's really no rye at all in this but that doesn't surprise me after 4 years.
T: The taste is very similar to the nose with very little barrel influence but a lot of nice flavors. There are notes of cocoa, vanilla, coffee, hops, and maybe a touch of rye spice in the background.
M: Probably one of the best mouthfeels I've had on a beer. Big, thick, and creamy with beautiful slow rolling carbonation.
O: I wanted to love this one and while it was pretty dang tasty I still think it could be better if it was 100% barrel aged. This is the 2nd time I have said this about a Tyranena beer so hopefully they'll start releasing these as unblended in the future.

Thanks, stig!
(Aged for 6 months)
Black throughout with a small dark brown head that actually stays around for most of the beer's duration, eventually leaving an oily sheen and spots of stick down the glass.
A pleasant combination of rye whiskey, chocolate, mild roast, and more barrel influence come together very nicely. Very minimal presence of alcohol in the aroma.
The flavor follows the aroma, with good amounts of rye whiskey, chocolate, and roast combining quite pleasantly. There's some sweetness and a low level of bitterness.
Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Very appropriate.
I was very much impressed with this one. This one came together very nicely and was a great way to end the night.

I want a digital voice recorder for recording interviews, thoughts etc. Quality needs to be high but doesn't need to reach music studio levels.
But do I go for a straight recorder or a dictaphone with specialised voice and recording features. Anyone know what the great Mr Fry might use?
Ideally, it should be Mac compatible. Olympus and Sony seem to have the widest ranges (and they also look good).
Also, how hard is it to convert .wma files to .wav files? This has a bearing on what I buy since I want the widest recording options possible.
Anyone any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Christine reporting from Oslo
One of my favourite things about Oslo is that it is neither too big, nor too small. It is the third largest city in Scandinavia, with a little over 500 000 inhabitants, and the capital of Norway, but it is still a manageable size and easy to get around. It has shopping, entertainment and leisure activities for everyone, but today I'm going to show you my favourite spots.
My daily errands usually take me to the city centre, the area around the city's main street Karl Johans gate. The Royal Castle lies in one end of the street, and the central station in the other. A lot of the big chains, like H&M, Zara, etc have stores along Karl Johan, and there are also several large department stores, and of course a lot of cafes and restaurants.

Advisory Board
The following people are members of the Jacobs Educator Program advisory board. These members also serve as the selection committee for the Jacobs Educator Award.
Dr. Thomas Brush
Dr. Thomas Brush is the current Barbara B. Jacobs Chair for Education and Technology, a professor in the Instructional Systems Technology department, and the Associate Dean for Teacher Education. Dr. Brush's research goals, from a design standpoint, are to develop methods and strategies for promoting inquiry-oriented learning, particularly with more open-ended instruction. This involves studying methods for integrating tools to promote cooperative, collaborative, and problem-based learning strategies into the learning environment itself and developing alternative techniques to deliver instruction to students. One major project he has been working on with John Saye at Auburn University is the Persistent Issues in History Network, which includes a set of web-based tools and resources designed to support history teachers interested in implementing problem-based inquiry strategies in their classrooms. Visit http://pihnet.org for more information.
While working in the K-12 setting Dr. Brush discovered that a majority of teachers were ill-equipped to handle the explosion of technological resources being thrust upon their profession. Along with this explosion came increased expectations from parents and lawmakers for educators to prepare students for the "information age." Yet, many teacher education programs had limited technology requirements for current and prospective teachers. Dr. Brush's position at Indiana University gives him the opportunity to help pre-service teachers acquire the skills and experiences needed to effectively utilize technology in their future professional placements.
Dr. Robert Sherwood
Robert D. (Bob) Sherwood, Ph.D. is Professor of Science Education and Associate Dean for Research at Indiana University Bloomington. He joined the IU faculty in 2006 after spending two years at as a Program Director in the Division of Research on Learning at the National Science Foundation.
Dr. Sherwood received his undergraduate and masters degrees in chemistry from Purdue University and taught secondary school chemistry and middle grades science in Indiana before returning to graduate school at Indiana University to complete a Ph.D. in Science Education and Educational Research. He has been a faculty member at New York University and Vanderbilt University where he also held administrative posts as Associate Director of the Learning Technology Center and Chair of the Department of Teaching and Learning. Dr. Sherwood's research interests bring together Cognitive Science, Educational Technology and Science Education to research students' understanding of critical ideas in pre-college science instruction.
Dr. Anne Ottenbreit-Leftwich
Dr. Anne Ottenbreit-Leftwich is an Associate Professor of Instructional Systems Technology at Indiana University, Bloomington. Dr. Ottenbreit-Leftwich's expertise lies in the areas of the design of digital curriculum resources, the use of technology to support pre-service teacher training, and development/implementation of professional development for teachers and teacher educators. Dr. Ottenbreit-Leftwich has experience working on large-scale funded projects, including projects supported by the U.S. Department of Education. Her current research focuses on teachers' value beliefs related technology and how those beliefs influence teachers' technology uses and integration.
Dr. John Saye
John Saye is Alumni Professor and Program Coordinator for social science education at Auburn University. He is the Co-Director of the PIH Network and also is Director of the Social Studies Inquiry Research Collaborative, a coalition of university researchers studying the effects of challenging social studies and history instruction on student learning, and Plowing Freedom's Ground, a Teaching American History project funded by the U.S Department of education. Prior to his appointment to AU, Saye was a high school history teacher for twelve years. Saye regularly presents at national conferences and has published frequently in the areas of the promotion of historical inquiry among students and teachers, the professional development of social studies and history teachers, and the use of technology to facilitate problem-based historical inquiry.
Dr. Krista Glazewski
Dr. Krista Glazewski was interested in PBL before she knew it was called PBL. As a middle school teacher of ESL, language arts, and social studies during the mid 1990s, she sought to engage students in meaningful, cross-disciplinary inquiry. Her classroom inquiry projects ranged in scope from school dumpster excavations to home/neighborhood explorations. Instinctively, she knew that involving students in this work created a relevant, meaningful connection for them, and anecdotally she observed greater motivation, engagement, and achievement among most of her students. It was these interests that led to her doctoral work and prepared her for more systematic, rigorous investigations of Problem-Based Learning. For almost ten years she has been engaging in the scholarship of PBL, exploring questions of curricular design, student engagement, and teacher support / professional development. Most recently, her projects have sought to support the work of secondary science and elementary teachers in their efforts to consider issues of pedagogy and science knowledge as they shift toward the practice of PBL. In this context, she has examined how technology tools may support their efforts. This work has implications for how we prepare teachers and support risk-taking in their practice.
Dr. Theresa Cullen
Dr. Theresa Cullen is an Associate Professor in the Instructional Psychology and Technology program at the University of Oklahoma. She coordinates the technology integration courses for preservice teachers in the TE-Plus program and has recently begun a Teaching with Technology masters degree program for experienced teachers. Her research interests focus both on how preservice teachers use social media, and methods for enhancing girls interest in STEM careers.
Matthew Callison
Matthew Callison is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Instructional Systems Technology at Indiana University. His research interests are school reform, teacher education programs, technology integration with inquiry-based learning, and immersive learning environments. Matt assists Dr. Thomas Brush as a graduate assistant on the Jacobs Program.
Prior to being a doctoral student, Matt was an elementary school teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 10 years. In 2007, Matt was named an Apple Distinguished Educator for the innovative and effective ways he used technology to engage and teach students.
Sungwon Shin
Sungwon is a Ph.D Candidate in Instructional Systems Technology at Indiana University. Her research interests lie on promoting problem/inquiry-based learning, technology integration in K-12 classroom, particularly in social studies classes, and equipping pre-service social studies teachers as effective teachers as well as lifelong learners. Aside from her responsibilities associated with the Jacobs Program, Sungwon works as a graduate assistant on the PIHNet/PBL-Tech project and worked as an associate instructor at School of Education, Indiana University. She taught pre-service teachers in technology integration courses.
Sungwon has a B.A. degree in History and earned a postgraduate diploma in Modern History. Prior to coming to Indiana, she worked as an instructional designer for e-learning companies in Korea for 4 years designing and developing online lessons, educational programs and games, and coordinating online classes for several digital universities.
Jacob Smalley
Jacob Smalley is a senior studying social studies. In the future, his goal is to teach students about democratic participation, the fine tunings of the economy, and the important footprint her students will leave behind in society.

The Project:
- In August 2009, Quiksilver and Roxy partnered with Riviera Magazine to take part in the Casa Surf Project.
- 10 local surf brands were challenged to collaborate with interior designers in an effort to raise money for local charities through the creation of a new suite that complimented each brands aesthetic while staying true to the hotels heritage
- For one year, 2% of each night the room is occupied will go towards our own Quiksilver Foundation
Quiksilver Room:
Quiksilver room designer Angela O'Donnell chose to coincide with the Spanish theme of the hotel to create the Quiksilver Suite. Her objective was to maintain the authenticity of the space while creating a thoroughly modern and inviting environment.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
2 sport routes, and a trad route (which is no where to be found in guide books). This is the pinnacle just up the canyon, on the south side, from Boulder Falls. It's somewhat chossy near the bottom, but has some big powerful moves once on the arete. It's fronted by the creek, and some tall pines, and receives mid-afternoon sun, but is relatively shady, except for the very top of the tower.
Getting There
Park at Boulder Falls, 8 miles up the canyon, on the south side. Walk up the canyon around the bend, and you will see the tower on the left (south side). You can walk through the creek during low tide season, or I've read in guidebooks that there is a tyrolean (but I didn't see one anywhere near the tower).

4 Total Routes
Featured Route For Tower of Babel
This route wasn't in the book, but it's on the far right of the tower and is west-facing. Do a bouldery start off the small ledge, but it is easy to pre-clip the first bolt. Crank on good crimpers to gain the ramp - good luck being graceful - then continue up towards the anchors. This has fun and powerful climbing. I don't know what the official rating is, it felt like 11+ to me....[more] Browse More Classics in CO

The season may be over, but for the Dallas Stars, planning for the draft and the subsequent hockey version of Black Friday has already begun. With the current ownership situation casting a shadow over hopes of new additions, Dallas still has options.
So, assuming they have the same operating budget from 2009-10 for the upcoming season (or at least until new ownership takes over), Dallas has to operate on the cheap. They can, however, take from one area to improve another. Both the defense and the offense of the Stars are well-stocked. Though the defense does need some improvements, given the current makeup of a young, inexperienced and imbalanced core. Supplanting one stalwart defenseman could make all the difference and even on a tight budget, the Stars have options:
Anton Volchenkov- probably the best option available. He does, however, come with a potential price tag that would take the Stars out of the bidding war for his services.
After A.V., you have Dan Hamhuis of the Nashville Predators, Zybnek Michalek of the Phoenix Coyotes, Kurtis Foster of Tampa Bay, Willie Mitchell of Vancouver, Denis Seidenberg of Boston, Paul Martin of New Jersey, and a few others to boot. Personally, I think that Foster is probably the best backup option available. He's got size (6'5"), offensive skill (was in the 40 pt range this season) and is only 28. He could command a significant raise, but even then I think he'd be affordable. Seidenberg and Martin would be nice backup plans as well, though the presence of a more physical specimen on defense is probably preferred. This doesn't mean Dallas should give up after acquiring 1 guy. How about some insurance with someone like an Adrian Aucoin, who- if signed for 1 year at a discounted price tag, could be a nice #4 on the point for the Stars, with his big point shot. Just a thought...
As for forwards, there aren't many available that Dallas could afford who would significantly help with scoring. I'm sure that Nieuwendyk and co. would be just as satisfied with sticking with the group from last year, with the addition of some of their younger players gaining additional icetime. They could sign someone who could help on the checking line and provide an improvement in the faceoff circle as well. Manny Malhottra of San Jose could fit the bill as a depth checking line centre/forward. Aside from acquisitions, Dallas has several options from within the system.
Aaron Gagnon is possibly the most hopeful of the Stars prospects to get a callup this upcoming season. Approaching his mid-20's, he's barely thought of as a "prospect", but he did have an excellent minor-pro season this year, leading the Texas Stars in points. He'd be a nice addition to the 4th line. Other players possibly making the jump include Francis Wathier, a fiesty winger who could fit in nicely on the 4th line, should the Stars opt out of re-signing forward Krys Barch. Wathier can fight, but make no mistake, he's not exactly a top tier pugilist. Do the Stars really need one though, given exemplary castoffs like Minnesota cutting Boogard's ice time, and Montreal releasing Georges Laraque? Perhaps its the end of the pure enforcer era, where a guy could simply fight and not be expected to do anything more. Raymond Sawada could be on the right wing, although the better-than-expected play from late season pickup Brandon Segal could dictate yet another cut by the Stars for Sawada, potentially ending his chances to play in the NHL with the Dallas Stars.
Fortunas and Larsen should get significant looks on defense, but their playing time will be determined by whether or not the Stars retain the services of Daley, Niskanen and Skrastins.
And who knows- maybe a youngster like a Tomas Vincour, Colton Sceviour or even Scott Glennie comes to camp and wows the Stars brass, earning themselves a roster spot.
This should be an exciting summer! Buckle up.

HOLLISTER Paralyzed by a surfeit of choice, I stood glazed-eyed and slack-jawed before the almost obscene bounty and variety of almonds spread out before me.
This, I figured, must be what a person from a remote third-world region experiences when stepping into a Safeway. It reminded me of a scene in the movie "Borat" when a winking Sasha Baron Cohen marvels at an array of cheeses that spoiled Americans can buy from the dairy case.
Only this was real. At Casa de Fruta, a farm stand on steroids plopped down in the middle of wide-open Pacheco Valley, there are 19 flavors of almonds from which to choose. And, at $10.99 a pound, one better choose wisely, because there's much more produce and dry goods to be had in what is a veritable Disneyland of conspicuous locavore consumption.
I'm not going to tax your attention spans by listing all 19 varieties. But let's just say the almond choices ranged from tequila to onion garlic, guacamole to mocha, cheese jalapeño to tamarindo. Oh, they also have raw almonds for those of timid palate.
Unable to decide, I ended up buying no almonds at all, not even the decadent dark chocolate kind I so crave.
That's the thing about Casa de Fruta. There's so much citrus to be thumped and sniffed, vegetables to be squeezed and ogled, and bottled condiments to be perused that it can lead to chronic indecisiveness.
Actually, I saw two types of shoppers on a recent swing by this roadside attraction located on the Pacheco Pass between Interstate 5 and Highway 101: Those who mindlessly filled their carts with bounteous amounts, as if stocking up for a long winter's hibernation; and those who wandered the aisles seemingly incapable of making a commitment to the half crate of Watsonville strawberries or the Castroville large artichokes or the roma tomatoes from Camarillo that were beckoning them.
One of the latter was Linda Lail of Modesto. She had roamed the casa for at least 10 minutes, yet her basket was empty. It was not so much indecisiveness as a sense of being overwhelmed.
"I've seen this place before, but I just never thought to stop," she said. "People have told me about it for a long, long time, so today I decided to do it. It's amazing out here in the middle of nowhere to have a place this big."
But Judith Hart of Fresno, on her way to visit friends in Salinas, recommended zeroing in on a specific fruit or vegetable. She's veteran of Casa de Fruta and was picking and choosing carefully. On this day, she was giving a long, hard look at the oranges.
"Boy, they do have more variety in one spot than any place else," Hart said. "Even the store I shop at, Vons, doesn't have everything."
Indeed, calling Casa de Fruta a farm stand would be like calling the Taj Mahal a cottage.
Its sudden appearance on the side of the road is jarring, coming after miles of ag fields and tawny brown scruffy rolling hills. It's not unlike a tribal casino erected in rural milieu a sudden vertical amid a lulling horizontal landscape.
The directional sign in the parking lot is almost comical in its bevy of choices:
Casa de Fruta →
Casa de Gifts ←
Casa de Choo Choo ←
Casa de Sweets ←
Casa de Wine →
Casa de Deli ←
Casa de Sluice ←
Casa de Carousel →
Say, friend, can you point me toward Casa de Overkill?
This wondrous place wasn't originally meant to be a quasi-amusement park with a petting zoo featuring buffalo, deer and llamas; a kiddie park with rides, hotel and RV park; site of Civil War re-enactors, Renaissance Faire aficionados and biker rallies.
No, it all began in 1943, when matriarch Clara Bisceglia Cribari Zanger's three teenage sons opened a single cherry stand on the Pacheco Pass Highway.
Faster than a banana goes bad in the hot sun, they soon expanded to seven cherry stands in the southern Santa Clara Valley. Eventually the family opened a restaurant (1967), a gas station (1971), a 14-room inn (1977) and a park for family reunions and corporate events (1982).
With expansion naturally comes the risk of diluting what made Casa de Fruta so special in the first place the produce.
On the afternoon I visited, two tour buses spat out a stream of high school students from Clovis. Most headed straight for Casa de Sweets. It was enough, no doubt, to send their parental chaperones straight to Casa de Wine though, of course, being responsible adults, they refrained.
Two older customers, Paul and Ginette Smith of Huntington Beach, stuck with the fruit stand. They make Casa de Fruta a regular stop when driving up from Southern California to visit their son in Mountain View.
"We did take our grandkids here to the train once," Paul said.
The train, the sluice water wheel (to pan for "precious gems and minerals") and the stoic-looking buffalo can be dismissed as attempts at re-creating a past that may not have existed in the Pacheco Valley. But the main building, the fruit stand, is authentic.
Many of the tables on which the produce rests come from local farms. One is a wagon, circa 1920s, donated from Louis Scaglione Orchards in Hollister. A placard tells shoppers that the 8-by-12-foot cart once hauled prunes, apricots and walnuts from the fields to the plants.
These days, the hauling is done by big rigs, of course and by the steady parade of SUVs, minivans and sedans that come and go in search of just the right flavor of almond for them.
Casa de Fruta
6680 Pacheco Pass Highway (Highway 152), Hollister
Web: www.casadefruta.com
Hours for the fruit stand: 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday-Sunday. Check website for hours of the train, carousel, restaurant, wine and deli and other attractions.
Directions from Sacramento: Take Interstate 5 south for about 110 miles and take Exit 407 toward Gilroy. Merge onto Highway 33 South for about two miles and then merge left onto Highway 152. Go about 25 miles west to Casa de Fruta.

Whites unveil £3m football academy
10:10am Monday 20th October 2008 in Sport
BOLTON Wanderers' new £3 million academy site has been officially opened.
The Mayor and Mayoress of Bolton, Cllr Anthony Connell and his wife, Maureen, attended an opening event along with other dignitaries and Wanderers officials.
The club has invested in a 40-acre facility in Lostock, which includes four full-size grass pitches, an artificial playing surface, modern changing rooms, offices and a physio room.
Academy supremo, former defender Jimmy Phillips, said the Bolton Wanderers Eddie Davies Football Academy — named after the club's owner — would rival the facilities of other top clubs.
He said: "In the past, we have lagged behind the likes of Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City in terms of academy facilities — but that's no longer the case.
"This development will impress potential players and parents when they see it, which can only be good."
Wanderers' long-term goal is to move en masse from the current training ground at Euxton.
There are also plans for five more outdoor pitches and an indoor pitch, a rehabilitation centre, a gym and offices.
The club won planning approval from Bolton Council in 2006 to build the academy at the former BAE Lostock site, off Lostock Lane. But since then, there have been a number of delays to the scheme, including the relocation of Lostock Sports Club.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The record Powerball jackpot just keeps rising. It now stands at $550 million after officials say brisk sales keep driving up the payout amount. The jackpot was boosted to $500 million on Tuesday and raised again Wednesday morning to $550 million. A winner taking the cash option would get $360.2 million before taxes. The numbers are an estimate and could be increased again as the drawing nears. Powerball officials say they now believe there is a 75 percent chance that the winning combination of numbers will be drawn Wednesday night.

Unilever jobs threat 'very disappointing'
The Welsh Government has responded to Unilever's proposals to cut up to 450 jobs in Wales, saying it's 'very disappointing'.
Government officials say they've met Unilever executives to discuss the impact of the proposals and what help could be given, but the decision to close stands.
– Business Minister Edwina Hart
Today's announcement will be a devastating blow for Unilever's workforce and their families in Wales. We asked the company to fully consider the range of support offered to businesses by the Welsh Government and invited them to work together with us to implement a more sustainable solution for Wales by seeking to maintain current operations at its Welsh sites. The proposals for Ewloe, Swansea and Bridgend are therefore very disappointing but we are hopeful Unilever can offer future opportunities for some of its north Wales workers through investment at its site at Port Sunlight in Merseyside.

A- Pours a deep chestnut/amber color with a bit more head than a typical sour.
S- Smells tart. Some funk, grapes as well as some malts poking thru. This is one of the best smelling sours I have had the pleasure of. The scottish ale/sour combo here is amazing, though please do not think this is not sour, it is!
T- Wow! this is way above my expectations. Much the same as the nose but there is a ton of tartness to this.. Very well done. The carbonation is spot on here, prickly. Not a hint of the 10% in the taste, and I mean at all.
M- a bit heavier than the sours that i am used to but that is to be expected when the base beer is essentially a scottish ale. This beer is great.
O- I have to give this an A+. Not perfect in all aspects but for me, this is just the perfect beer. I could seriously drink this everyday. Sounds like a homer reveiw here being from CT, I know but get your hands on this it's the real deal IMO. Cheers!

16.9oz swingtop bottle - served in a small tulip
A - pours with a short lived layer of fuzzy, offwhite foam, settling to a filmy ring. slightly cloudy, deep ruby in color.
S - oddish sort of vinegary, grape and wine like fruitiness. additional hints of raisin, plum, vanilla, and a funky mustiness.
T - sweet and biscuity off the bat, turning slowly to a more lactic sourness, led by crushed red grapes and tart green apples. hints of purple sweet tarts, caramel, and pressed green apples. finishes rather clean, with a faint bit of bourbon and smoke. real nice!
M - medium bodied with a nice creaminess, aided by moderate yet prickly carbonation. finishes on the tart and puckering side, with a pleasant stickiness that cleans up nicely after itself.
O - solid beer. hope to see more like this from Olde Burnside in the future - pulled off quite well. a lovely sipper...seek this out.

Finally found this
Poured into a brandy snifter....
A) Nice golden hue, slight head a bit of lacing.
S) Grapes and Funk...thats great!
T) For those who like sours (me) this is pretty damn good. The brewer is pretty well known for their scotch ales, that said you get the malts to follow up on the yeast.
O) Would really like to know how this ages...

mahogany in color with nice head and subtle lacing.
esthery fruits in the nose
taste with a nice malt sweetness which is immediately taken over by a great tartness. Big chocolate covered cherry element to this beer that makes it unique and delicious. toffee and vanilla flavors abound with a lingering tart drying finish leaving you waiting for next sip. The bourbon barrels really impart a nice woody dryness and finish i love in good bourbons.
So much going on here but really works together very well.
overall an incredible beer no doubt.

Thanks to Adrian for this share. Reviewed from notes, 500ml bottle.
A - A cloudy reddish brown, pours with a nice white head that fades quickly.
S - A pretty malty but funky sour smell. I get some oak, vinegar, and some caramel smells. Quite nice!
T- The initial flavor is pretty smooth and malty with a bit of oak, quickly transitioning to some lactic sourness and a prounounced dry vinegar funk. Aftertaste is quite tart and vinegary, with more oak.
M - Good body for a sour, with slighly lower carbonation, Nothing wrong here.
D - My expectations were low for this beer, but it really was quite good. I've had plenty of the base beer, but never thought it would become a sour. Gonna have to find some more of these. Without a doubt the best sour beer made in CT.

Poured into a tulip. Big thanks to SteveFinny for this. Swing-top bottle, 1/2 liter.
3.5 A: Swing-top opened with a loud POP! First pour gave me just about all head. Several minutes later I got a full glass. Lightly hazed deep amber color. Three fingers of foamy off-white head. Retention is super good, but some of that might come from maintenance bubbles. A short ring of lacing is left.
4.0 S: This maintains a lot of the base beer (which I haven't had, but it's a reasonable assumption) and it smells great. Lots of caramel with toffee underneath. Plum, prune, and some raisin fruitiness. Bourbon is complementary, but adds a pleasant earthiness. The wild portion is mainly funk (in the nose at least). Musty basement, dry-rotten wood, and hay.
4.5 T: The taste introduces some acid and sourness. It's not overbearing and it works well within the context of the other flavors. It's mainly a tangy lactic acid, but there is some acetic in there as well. The bourbon earthiness and leather mixes extremely well. The base still offers plenty of caramel with lesser amounts of toffee and molasses. Lots of plum, raisin, prune, and dates. Oak and vanilla. This is pretty sweet for a wild and it works out to be quite enjoyable. I have no doubt that the excess carbonation is from this beer not being fully done, but the result is probably better than with the extra time it'd take to ferment it out. Very tasty.
4.0 M: Medium body. The carbonation level is fine. It seems like the beer itself doesn't hold much of the excess. Not that creamy, but somewhat velvety if you can understand the differences I mean between the two words. Super smooth.
5.0 D: Very tasty wild. Well developed with tons of awesome flavors. So easy to drink and the alcohol never becomes an issues at all.

16.9 oz blue swingtop into a Chimay chalice.
A- Pours a deep chestnut/amber color with a bit more head than a typical sour.
S- Smells tart. Some funk, grapes as well as some malts poking thru. This is one of the best smelling sours I have had the pleasure of. The scottish ale/sour combo here is amazing, though please do not think this is not sour, it is!
T- Wow! this is way above my expectations. Much the same as the nose but there is a ton of tartness to this.. Very well done. The carbonation is spot on here, prickly. Not a hint of the 10% in the taste, and I mean at all.
M- a bit heavier than the sours that i am used to but that is to be expected when the base beer is essentially a scottish ale. This beer is great.
O- I have to give this an A+. Not perfect in all aspects but for me, this is just the perfect beer. I could seriously drink this everyday. Sounds like a homer reveiw here being from CT, I know but get your hands on this it's the real deal IMO. Cheers!

Thanks to nmann08 for sharing this bottle last weekend. Served in a Cigar City snifter.
Pours a muddy amber color with a thin off-white head and not much in the way of lacing. Thin collar. The nose brings forward plenty of heavy malts with sourness in the background. Lactic and acetic both make an appearance along with some dark fruits and cherries. Flavor is pretty powerful in terms of sourness with too much acetic character for my tastes. Same for the feel. Not too bad, but not something I really enjoyed.

Sampling a 2 year old cellar temp bottle poured into a snifter.
The beer pours a deep mahogany with rich garnet highlights and just a little bit of misty sediment floating in the middle of the glass. A large creamy and spongy beige head foams up 3 cm even with a gentle pour. The head fades gradually to a thick edge layer and thin surface layer across the top of the beer.
The aroma is tart cherry and vinegar with a bit of musty blanket and stale bread. Quite a complex and funky nose. Appropriate for a wild ale, and appealing for this sampling.
The first sip reveals an average body and fine fizzy carbonation that tingles on each sip.
Flavor is what would be expected from the nose with some sweet cherry for a second that then roles to tart and bitey vinegar and some funky yeast notes. The finish is very dry and tart with a bit of chalk and stale bread again. IT is a mix of complex flavors and the dry finish encourages further sips.
The beer is enjoyable and the 10-11% is hidden the entire time. Funky well made beer.

Finally found this at the store!
A : pours a deep copper with reddish tones. A good light tan head of tiny bubbles. Sticks around much longer than most sours. Pretty good lacing. Nice looking blue swing top bottle.
S : smells of a bit of bread and yeast. Tart berries and old fruit juice sitting on a table. A bit of sweet vinegar. A bit of woody earthy dirt aromas, but I'm not sure if that's the barrel or hops.
T : starts sweet and a bit smokey. The tartness starts off early and hits hard. The flavor reminds of the candy shock tarts. It's a little fruity, tart more than lip puckering sour. There's a little sweetness like butterscotch beneath the whole tart flavor. Finishes with a bubbly and sharp sourness with cherry and oak vanilla flavors beaneath the sour bite. The flavors are very pronounced, and the depth and complexity between sour and malty sweet are enjoyable. As the beer warms you start to taste even more oak and cherry vanilla sourness.
M : medium body and vibrant but not overbearing carbonation.
A deeply complex flavor and wide ranging aromatic beer. While its less sour than most I really enjoy the solid flavor and drinkability. Very little alcohol present here. Very nice.
