Green Collar Careers: Portsmouth Brewery Brewmaster Tyler Jones
Tyler Jones
When Portsmouth Brewery Head Brewer Tyler Jones, who just turned 31 last month, describes the restaurant and brewpub's "do-it-yourself" ethos, he's not just describing the food on the plate or the beer in the mug. He's talking about the whole Brewery operation, where making everything from scratch means not only sourcing the best ingredients or never cutting culinary corners, but doing it all more sustainably, as well.
After serving for years as an assistant under brewing maestro Tod Mott, Jones took over the helm in July 2012 intending to continue with the Brewery's lauded tradition of uniquely honed libations.
It's a journey many years in the making. After studying chemical engineering at UNH, Jones spent a stint working for a Portsmouth manufacturer before earning his Master Brewer's Certificate from the University of California, Davis in 2006. Intent on turning his love of home-brewing into a career, Jones - a 15th generation New Hampshire native - returned to the Seacoast in 2006, and began working for the Brewery soon after.
Today, Jones oversees an operation that has become one of the most respected of its kind. And it goes well beyond the Brewery's iconic, glass-encased brew house. From the increasingly local menu to a growing number of efficiency measures, from charitable initiatives to tireless composting and recycling, the Brewery has become a beacon of sustainability on the Seacoast.
AS: What do you like most about your job?
TJ: Is everything a good answer? The truth is that there is so much I love about making beer and doing it at the Portsmouth Brewery. I love the creativity I have in the brew house to keep making new and interesting beers; I love being able to sit next to the people drinking my beer and chatting them up; I love the people I work with and how passionate they are about the product we produce in the brewery. But if I had to put on a thumb tack what I love the best about my job...it's that brewing is the perfect blend of art and science. It keeps both sides of my mind active and engaged.
AS: Where did you go to college? Does your college education help with your current job? What skills from college most prepared you for the work you do now?
TJ: UNH with a chemical engineering degree in 2004. My UNH education has been extremely helpful in my field. I can thank Dr. Vasu (P.T. Vasudevan) for giving me the poster presentation assignment of "The Bio-Chemistry of Beer Production" when I took Biochemical Engineering with him. I had just discovered a home brew kit in the closet of the house I was living in on Old Landing Road in Durham and was totally immersed. He saw my excitement over it and wanted to push me down the right path. That is what led me to go to UC Davis for the Master Brewers program.
AS: What do you look for in an employee in this field?
TJ: First and foremost is a passion for beer. Without passion for what you are doing, in any field, you are not going to live up to potential.
Second is a strong work ethic. The truth is that as a brewer you are a glorified janitor. I mention this jokingly, but the cleanliness of the brewery is a super important part of the brewing process. We are making a food grade product as well as growing yeast to ferment our beer. We impart many of the same cleaning techniques of a pharmaceutical company on the inside of our tanks. The outside of the tanks, the floor and the walls need to be kept clean so as to not introduce unwanted microorganisms into the process.
AS: What made you integrate sustainability into your business/go into a green industry?
TJ: The brewing industry has been on the forefront of sustainability for many years. There are many large-scale breweries across the country that are completely run by wind power, or solar, or by creating their own hydrogen fuel cells. I'm excited to see what Smuttynose is planning to have for sustainability in their new project in North Hampton.
On the brewing side of the Portsmouth Brewery, we do the normal heat recovery during knockout, and our spent grain is given to two local farmers (Meadows Mirth Farm in Stratham and Brandmoore Farm in Rollinsford) rather than being put into the landfill.
On the restaurant side of the Portsmouth Brewery, we have biodegradable to-go bags, containers, silverware. We compost all of our food scraps and have two separate dumpsters for recycling of mixed containers and cardboard. We are able to bring the food cycle full circle in the kitchen by giving our local farmers a weekly budget and they bring us whatever they have that is fresh and ready to use. So, more often than not, when you eat dinner or lunch at the Portsmouth Brewery, you are enjoying some locally grown produce, locally raised meat or locally caught fish. Buying local is the best sustainable practice that I know of.
AS: What are you most proud of in your business as related to sustainability?
TJ: I am most excited that we are able to provide the full food cycle. The spent grains from the brewing process and compost from the kitchen go to feed local animals and nourish the local land where our food is grown, and then ultimately show up as delicious food on the plates at the Portsmouth Brewery.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - The Memphis Grizzlies have introduced Dave Joerger (YAY-gehr) as their coach, sending the franchise in a new direction after its most successful era under former coach Lionel Hollins.
Joerger was a successful head coach in the minor leagues and was the lead assistant under Hollins the last two seasons. He has been with the team six seasons.
The Grizzlies won a franchise-best 56 games and reached the Western Conference finals this season. But there was a disconnect between Hollins and the new ownership group led by Robert Pera. Hollins' contract wasn't renewed.
Terms of Joerger's contract weren't released. But The Commercial Appeal newspaper in Memphis has reported Joerger signed a four-year deal with a starting salary of about $1.5 million.

The Impact Of KDE On 3D Gaming
Published on 12 April 2012 02:38 PM EDT

8 Comments
Being discussed following the
Ubuntu 12.04 Desktops Impact Performance, Power Consumption
was the impact that KDE's KWin compositing window manager (and others that don't redirect fullscreen windows by default) has on the OpenGL gaming performance.
Depending upon the driver it can potentially cause a hit as shown in Wednesday's comparison of Unity, Unity 2D, GNOME Shell, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and Openbox. All of the desktop environments were tested in their "out of the box" / stock configurations on Ubuntu 12.04. The KDE aspect is being discussed in
this forum thread
where the usual items are brought up.
There's interest in more KDE KWin directed vs. undirected fullscreen OpenGL rendering performance, so that will come in a separate article looking specifically at that item rather than mixing default and non-default test parameters.
However, in the meantime until the next set of results are complete, an independent
Phoronix Test Suite
user has conducted his own KDE graphics benchmark results and shared them on
Hit up
for a number of gaming (Nexuiz) results under KDE with 3D on and off. Testing was under Fedora 16 with an AMD E-350 Fusion system and its Radeon HD 6310 graphics. The individual also used the Phoronix Test Suite's system monitoring module to collect various system vitals while Nexuiz was being run.
More Phoronix.com benchmarks are on the way, but until then there's other Phoronix Test Suite users sharing their data on
taking advantage of new features

GLOBE EARTH comes to Bloor West Village
- foodyDudey Mar 17, 2011 07:04 PM
I alluded to something coming to Bloor West Village in another post, it's going to be a new Globe Earth. The location is 2448 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M6S 1R2 which was previously "MY PLACE"
It should be open in 8 to 10 weeks. It's a really large space and can hold over 800 people!
re: Blueicus
There are different sections, there is a large room that can be used for a wedding that holds a few hundred. I forgot the size for the restaurant, but it is at least 150. The building was once a Loblaws store.
re: acd123
Beggars can't be choosers :-)
re: foodyDudey
haha, we can't be choosers in them parts but hopefully they can put together something sustainable unlike my place did... i read they are going to make part of it a bakery for the other locations. That rooftop has a ton of potential lets hope they do it up, unfortunately i just think the space is too big but am crossing my fingers
re: Davedigger
Next week, I thought I saw in some thread somewhere... about the same answer I got when I was at Globe last week.
re: jlunar
I was told that the first day they will be open for regular business is Saturday May 21.
re: jlunar
On the website, it says it opens Friday May 20.
It was open for business this evening - looks nice inside, really looking forward to checking it out
Here's their website, with menu, some photos, reservations - looking forward to checking it out: http://www.earthbloorwest.com/
Went to Earth Bloor West last night and can say that it is a welcome addition to the Bloor West restaurant scene.
Food was up to the Earth brand standards, although I confess we ate light (I had the Roasted Tomato Cappellini and my friend had salad and mussels). They don't have their full wine list operational yet, so the wine choice was limited.
The service was "natural" and very smooth, which can sometimes be a feat for a restaurant which has only been open a few days. We arrived fairly early (6-ish) and by the time we left at 8:30, the dining room was about half full.
The OP indicated that the place could hold 800, and that might be the case if the downstairs area is bigger than the upstairs (I didn't check it out). Certainly the main level space feels nice (not huge). On the main level they have a separate area a few steps down to the side with a long bar and a few tables that would be nice for just stopping by after work for a drink.
Will definitely go back soon.
re: CocoTO
When I was there I also didn't see room for 800. But that number is based on a room in the basement which can hold a few hundred for a private event, and the capacity of the rooftop deck, which I think was at least 100 people.
re: foodyDudey
Hmmmmm haven't been to the other locations but visited this one tonight. I will not go back. Servers were wonderful. Full menu not available on rooftop patio yet. Nice wine options- only one beer on draught-steam whistle
Food presentation nice but OVER salted to the point of......no return
Disappointing, my opinion only of course
re: foodyDudey
I have eaten at all three, and have found that they are almost obsessive with making everything all right. To the point of comping dishes sent back, and buying a round for the table to make amends for the delay.
Tried this one on the day it opened, and they are trying very hard to solicit feedback. My dishes were fine, and they were good about requests and suggestions.
re: Snarf
I was at the new place on the weekend as well - loved it - such a great addition to the west end...
I believe any kinks the kitchen may have had will be worked out shortly as they hit their stride, however everything i tried was quite good as well.
NIce to have a place like this in the neighbourhood - also, more beers on tap shortly : )
re: dannyboy
I hope this location works.
Plan to check it out in the next couple of weeks.
BWV is a great area, and needs more restaurants and variety.
GLOBE is located in a weird dead zone for business (on Bloor, west of Jane), so hopefully, if successful, it spreads to neighboring businesses (and new business).
Enjoyed a very nice meal last night at earth Bloor West. Taking over the location for what was formerly Billy Bob's, they've done a nice transformation. Lots of dark wood and open doors at the front to allow breezes in. they also have a rooftop patio.
The service was good. Our waiter, Sean, was attentive and gave us a little history and said that they were still ironing the kinks out. The food is sourced locally or as much as possible.
We shared the pork bits to start: a piece of very dry, hard to crunch pork crackling; two small triangles of pork head cheese, and two small timbales of pate. The crackling was almost unbreakable. Our entrees were the vegetable tart and I had the chicken supreme, a small quarter on a hash of celeriac and berkshire pork.
Because it's in Bloor West Village, and conveniently located next to the recently reopened Humber Cinema, I'm sure I'll be back. I did see others enjoying the burger and fries which looked pretty good ... so lots more to try! 3 stars out of 5.
earth Bloor West
2448 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M6S 1P7, CA
Went there tonight and would definitely not recommend it.
The service was bad and the food was passable at best. Not nearly as good as the other earth location.
What a shame! I was so excited to have this place open in the area.
Ate there tonight. We too are pulling for them as our corner of the city is gastronomically deprived. Mixed results. Outstanding elk tartare. Sliced tuna that looked (and tasted) like flabby slabs of ham on cardboard greens. Consistently awful presentation of dishes. Delicious, meaty pickerel. Disappointing bouillabaisse special. Good crispy, salty fries. Overall, the experience was skewing towards somewhat positive until we got the pistachio ice cream with the consistency of dirt and even less flavor (they good-naturedly comped it). We will definitely go back as we hope Earth succeeds. As mentioned, our neighborhood needs more of what they are trying to do.
I went for brunch on the weekend and found it very enjoyable -
We started with the 'bakers basket - a selection of homemade pastries/muffins/scones etc. served with a homemade cranberry jam and butter - very nice, all of it, the little one was trying to hoard the scones.
I had eggs benny - you can order with spinach, smoked whitefish and pemeal. I got the smoked fish and thought it was great. Eggs were done well, hollandaise was supurb, lemony (could always use a bit more though) and all very tasty... was served with mini potatoes which were good but would have also rather had a few less with a side salad.
Also got a side of sausage which was amazing - they have a butcher in the basement and they do ALL their own meats, even the bacon, which the little one had with organic eggs and really seemed to enjoy.
The wife had the quiche which was a generous portion that she said she loved and was incredibly fluffy. It was served with a salad (greens) she quite liked their homemade dressing as well. Teenybopper had an omlette and liked that too.
I really like the place - i like they aren't stingy with their portions, i like they serve healthy delicious food and i like the price point isn't at all high for the quality food you get.
They've done a great job with the space although i think the main dining room lends itself to dinner as it's darker, with wood / stone etc. I know they're still doing reno's so we will see what is next. This is for sure the best place in the neighbourhood and worth supporting - BWV is a wasteland for resto's and finally we have one...
One thing i'd do for sure is get a kids menu ( if they haven't yet ) , it's a tricky neighbourhood as most people you're gonna get in the immediate area will tend to have a harem of kids.
I think with regard to service, speed etc. i understand they're still working out the kinks in the kitchen and although service was a little slower than i would have liked, all the staff are warm and welcoming.
I've been to this location of Earth a couple of times. I see that there have been some mixed opinions, but if things continue as well as my last visit, I would say the kinks have been worked out and that Bloor West has acquired a really great and affordable bistro. Even though it is simple ingredient driven cuisine I found enough finesse in the cooking techniques, seasoning, and balance of flavours to elevate it from boring to praise worthy. Some highlights included a tomato gaspacho special, bacon wrapped rabbit with crispy spaetzle, a nicely seared beef tenderloin, a deeply flavoured cakey brownie and the best doughnuts ever. As soon as I cut into the doughnuts I could see they would be great, fluffy, just a little chewy and they came with a carrot ice cream. Other good but basic dishes were the oysters, tuna salad and the scones. The rib eye burger deserves mention because the patty has a great beef flavour, I guess that's to be expected from ground rib eye. My only complaint is the bun needs to be better, as in either light crumb with a crust or brioche like rather then something you would find at a supermarket in a 6 pack bag. One more plus is the steaks are sold by the ounce, so for example I had the 5 oz tenderloin for just under $20. The sides are ordered seperate, but if you are looking to eat light, you can skip these. A final note about decor is that it is black, much like the other Earth location. Something green and living placed on each table would greatly enhance the overall look and add some warmth.
I went for a brunch a weekend or 2 ago. The bread basket was a highlight - we had 2. Fantastic house made assortment of regular, goat cheese and blueberry themed items. However, the egg dishes were truly awful. I have never sent back a brunch item but the chef's brekkie at Globe was the first. It was supposed to be a skillet with beans, duck confit and poached eggs and a few other items. The dish arrived and the eggs on top came completely rock hard, gray and inedible. I had to send it back and after communicating this to my waitress the hostess actually then came up to me and asked how I would like my poached eggs done for the new dish, implying that somehow it was just the "type" of their poaching that I didn't like and that the dish would have been acceptable to someone else. I said I liked them "poached" as had been described on the menu. She said I must mean I wanted them "soft poached" because clearly I didn't like them "hard poached" which was how their kitchen did them. Whatever. The new dish arrived with the eggs properly poached but now it was cold in the middle. Oh well. They did comp the dish in the end but I didn't really eat much of it anyway. It seemed to be a mess of a dish to me and was missing a few ingredients that had been described on the menu. Everyone else's poached or fried eggs, other than mine, were also way overdone and hard. The omelet my mom ordered came out properly though and she really enjoyed it. From a brunch standpoint for the food I wouldn't go back - it falls well below the other 2 Globes in that regard. Service was very good though - can't fault them for that (other than the odd discussion about poaching). And the bread basket was definitely a winner. I found the atmosphere pretty dark but that is their style, I guess.
re: Cat123
When i had the benny there the eggs were perfectly poached - funny yours were so different. A GREY egg? wow, that's a first i haven't seen that before, must have been pretty old or something.
The reason the place is packed on the weekend brunch is because it's really good and easily the best in the area. You better keep going to the other ones, because that's more your style, I guess.
re: dannyboy
Actually I never go to that area for brunch in any event - this was a one off - so not great loss!
re: Cat123
They seem to have issues with properly cooking eggs. Shortly after the Rosedale location of Earth opened, I ordered the elk tartare and it was served with hard boiled quail eggs. While the tartare was nicely seasoned and balanced, those hard boiled eggs just ruined the dish for me. I would have laughed at what that server said to you about poaching. Ridiculous and quite rude actually.
re: Splendid Wine Snob
that must have been it! they kept the egg you didn't eat then gave it to Cat, that's why it was grey!
re: dannyboy
Actually a greenish/greyish ring around an egg yolk is a sign of overcooking.
re: ylsf
So you beleive everyone's reviews here and aren't interested to try it out yourself? I tried an Italian place this past Friday that people were discussing recently and it was not very good, even though others seem to love it. For example, just one of the issues was that the salad had many partially rotten bits in it. That's will never happen at Globe. Why not try it yourself? At 50% off, it worth trying.
re: foodyDudey
Have you been recently Foodydudey? It was more that I am not in that area generally so I was going to pass because it didn't sound like a spot worth a special trip for vs. a spot in downtown that I might be around more. I might ask a friend that lives in the area if she is planning on getting one and check it out with her one day.
re: ylsf
I don't usually go to either of the EARTH locations as we can walk to Globe Bistro, and we ate there about 10 times since May. I had friends who ate at both the Earth locations and enjoyed it. I heard of some staff problems at the new location but assume those have been fixed by now. A half price coupon for Earth is something that I'd say is worth getting.

Sep 14, 2013Satyagraha is the most fail in Bollywood's long running political movie system. The story and direction fails to succeed when the film streches for too long. Amitabh does good in the drama but all the other actors act like crap. Kareena is too devastating, Ajay's character is too complicated, Amrita is toooo sad and Arjun Rampal is a pain in the butt kid. Yolo Time fans. The film centres around 5000000000 stories when Prakash Jha doesn't introduce the film fact by fact. His movies like- Aakrakshan and Chakravyuh were gems but then Satyagraha sucks. Real Bad. This score on Metacritic is given by ten, 1 for me- BigB rocks. I strongly advise you to not watch this piece of s**t. It's a waste of time and money, I got busted but don't get yourself cringed. STAY AWAY PEEPS.… Full Review »

A manufacturer's worst nightmare is to run out of a key raw material for their product. It's what keeps them up at night – will there be enough? Will it arrive in time? Will the costs be consistent or wildly fluctuate? This is exactly what's happening to manufacturers who rely on certified organic wool as part of their bedding program. The US wool industry has been in decline for decades due to the elimination of wool subsidies from the farm bill, lower wool prices and a rise in the use of synthetic fibers. For these and a myriad of other reasons, most of the wool we use across all industries is imported from New Zealand, Australia and Eastern Europe. We still produce some wool, but growers in the United States who are willing to pay for the USDA organic certification, are fewer and fewer. In fact, the wool we use for bedding, which is coarser and has a high crimp (curlier) is not available at all domestically in certified organic. To exacerbate the issue further, it isn't only the cost that is deterring our wool growers from getting certified. The biggest complaint from growers is that they must sacrifice a percentage of sheep to disease, particularly worms. Just like our pets, sheep are susceptible to worms and the worming treatment is not allowed in the organic standard. Another bane to wool growers is tick infestations. Ticks are common in wool coming in from New Mexico which still produces finer certified organic wool, but is too fine a fiber and not ideal for bedding. Consequently, all certified organic wool is imported for the mattress and bedding industry.
What Certifications Have to Offer
Third Party Certifications serve one important purpose – traceability. This is critically important, because the only way to really know if a process is being adhered to, is to be able to trace all of the steps within the process. Consumers are bombarded with "green" messaging now more than ever. Marketers are clamoring to grab this new eco-minded consumer. More and more consumers are demanding for proof, which comes in the form of certifications, otherwise how would they really know? In the mattress and bedding industry, the holy grail of certifications is GOTS (The Global Organic Textile Standard). GOTS has strict standards for the textile industry and now even for finished products like mattresses. A decade ago, it was a challenge just to get certified organic cotton. Now, even wool and latex are certified. Few consumers, however, know what these standards really mean. The FTC polices product claims, making sure that if a claim is made, it can be substantiated, in a mission to stomp out greenwashing. In a nutshell, certified organic wool is made from sheep that are USDA certified organic, scoured in facilities that are GOTS certified, carded in mills that are GOTS certified (Oregon Tilth is a certifier for GOTS), and is assigned a lot number to be used to trace back through all of these processes. So what happens when the supply dries up? Or the price goes up by 50% or more? Or when growers decide not to renew their certifications?
Alternatives to Certified Organic Wool
Eco Wool® is wool that is processed similarly to certified organic and often times, in the same facilities that were once certified, but the sheep themselves are not certified by the USDA. Many of the growers of Eco Wool® were once certified, but did not renew their certifications due to costs, the health of their sheep, and certification constraints that were not consistent with their unique growing environments. Growers of Premium Eco Wool® still adhere to strict purity standards and sound animal husbandry practices. Humane treatment, chemical-free growing criteria, and environmental friendliness are all taken into account when choosing growers for Eco Wool®. Animals are expensive, so keeping them healthy is tantamount to the growers' success. Many growers are getting Certified Humane certifications, which allows them to maintain a healthy flock and have transparency and traceability through a third party certification. The US growers we spoke with were honest and open about their practices, and are committed to keeping them sustainable and humane. As the wool industry is shrinking, the farmers who still tend to their flocks are smaller family operations struggling to survive. For many of them the high cost of certification and constant battles with disease, predators, and unpredictable climate issues, make it difficult to stay in business. Supporting our local growers is good for business and good for our country.
To make matters worse, the quality of organic wool has not been as good as domestic wool, and prices have jumped more than 50%! The imported organic wool is not as clean and has higher veggie matter content. The carding process eliminates much of the veggie matter, but the domestic wool tends to come out cleaner. So this all begs the question, which is better? Imported organic, or eco domestic? We vote for the latter. Since we are closer to the growers, we create a minimal carbon footprint; Most organic wool in the US has a massive carbon footprint due to shipping from across the planet. We also know the processing is done in the same manner and in the same facilities that processes certified organic wool. It uses biodegradable detergents using plant-based ingredients. Consumers will only pay so much for certified organic, when products are priced out of the market due to the certification process, we are forced to look for alternatives.

7 Weeks pregnant and feeling movement?
Hi there, im a little confused, ive just turned 7 weeks pregnant, and ive started feeling very definate movements. They are tiny 'flipping' sensations which feel identical to the early movements I felt with my other 2 children, but surely 7 weeks is a bit early for them? There is no pain or bleeding but im concerned that I could be a bit further on than i had previously thought, my last period was well over a week late (which is very unusual for me), could this mean im a month further along?
16-03-11, 16:44 #2
Hi honey, normally with each pregnancy you feel movements a lot sooner. Maybe mention it to your MW that you think you might be further on

Hi Kerry,
Congratulations on your pregnancy I was feeling movements with my second at 9 weeks, so I reckon it is possible you're feeling movement now! How exciting! You obviously have an active little bean. Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy xx

Hi Kerry
Its unusual to feel movement so early, but it is possible that you are further on than you think.
As said by the other mums, its common to feel movement earlier in subsequent pregnancies.
I would be a good idea to talk to your midwife when you see her.
I hope you have a very happy pregnancy
16-03-11, 20:53 #8Jacqui S(99)
Just to reassure you I felt definite flipping movements at around 8 weeks with my 2nd pregnancy. I also felt them very early with my first baby too - think some babies are super active! Of course it is possible you could be a month further on though - which might be nice too means less time to wait until you meet him/her!

President Bush may have labeled his opposition to renewing portions of the Patriot Act "inexcusable," but Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig isn't making excuses for joining a bipartisan filibuster of the anti-terrorism law. "We've been cautioned before by our leaders down through history that we should not allow our concern about security to deny us our constitutional freedoms," Craig said shortly after Bush lambasted the parliamentary blockade of the bill in the U.S. Senate during a White House press conference today. "I don't step back from protecting civil liberties and I never will."

Yay! I always wanted to integrate Twitter, Facebook, and the iTunes Store... Oh wait, no I didn't. The only improvement that I am liking is that iTunes 10 seems to run a little faster than the previous version on my system, that is it. I could care less about all of that other stuff. The iPod announcements were disappointing (though I like the hardware) in that the capacities I wanted weren't announced and the current max capacity for the iPod touch is way too expensive. No iOS 4 for my iPad until November. So, all-in-all, the only "new" feature that iTunes 10 brings, that I am using, is the increase in performance speed. It isn't much (at least not like iTunes 4 or 6) but it is a whole lot better than what it was.

Most of the stuff only applies to the US as well. You can't rent most of the content in the UK or even buy some of it.

Please don't take me wrong, but why is iTunes announced on main HA portal?
Aren't out there enough forums covering it, or may we expect WMP etc announcements?

Well, it is "validated news", many people are enthusiastic about it, and it concern's audio technology. Only the hydrogen part doesn't seem to fit in just yet. The latter impression I have quite often...

Maybe the most important change in that new version hasn't been quoted above.

Please don't take me wrong, but why is iTunes announced on main HA portal?So people can complain about how much they don't like it or don't like that it's in validated news?
Aren't out there enough forums covering it, or may we expect WMP etc announcements?If a moderator or administrator feels it's worthy, then yes, absolutely.
I admit that I am neither an Apple nor iTunes fan, but it is somehow disconcerting for me, that a new iTunes version is announced here but not the new foobar2000 1.1 ...No one is stopping you from making a submission, though I believe foobar2000 v1 is already here.
For those who are here to complain, look over what is in this forum. If it is a major release and deemed of interest to our members it can go in validated news.
Further posts of this nature will be binned.

I'm fine with it. It's not like this is a high traffic area. Whether you personally prefer it or not, iTunes is a big deal in the audio realm.

Can't say I care about any of the new features, however I do welcome the performance improvements and iTunes renders fonts a little better as well as using same Windows fonts used throughout the rest of the OS, makes iTunes look that little bit more like a native Windows app.

Running it on a Mac for me it performance has improved 10 fold. I couldn't be happier with iTunes.
It's still by far the best app to organise your music.

That would be your preference. Me, I'm a man of humble needs, and get by with a bit of folder structure and a fairly light installation of FB2K.
Nonetheless, since it's been brought to my attention again, I might be willing to have a go. After all, going out to try new stuff is what landed me into the welcoming arms of Foobar in the first place.

I like iTunes and Foobar. In fact, I have both installed on my primary computer (a "high-end" PC notebook.) Actually my Foobar is the portable version and I use it a lot. Just not to organize my library for that computer.
Reading a few of the above comments: I don't understand the hatred for iTunes. It is bloated, but is this even a problem, even for Windows-users anymore?? What, are people still rocking 2 gigs of RAM for a Windows installation? I'm sure it will work great on even a Mac Mini Snow Leopard server with 2 Gb of RAM and base specs. (I'll find out soon enough.)
Apple is currently the only manufacturer offering a 160 Gb DAP (that is not huge) that I know of. That alone is enough for me. This mentality that "it's popular and all of the idiots are using it" isn't helpful or relevant. I won't be downloading music from the iTunes store, but that's my personal preference. I archive actual CDs as FLAC and convert them to ALAC for my DAP. I'm happy.
I'm also happy to see posts about new versions of iTunes. Thank you for that.
Do people actually think that F2k "sounds" better than iTunes or vice versa?

It's simply a matter of personal preferences. Each of those apps has it's pros and cons for various people.
I use both FB2K and iTunes depending on what I'm doing.

'bloated'... more like stupidly immense, now your audio player becomes your 'social' service. That is over the top and deserves a whole new word for bloatedness.
It used to not even work right (rips+encodes), and honestly i still don't get the need some people have for 'libraries' of music, but hey, some developer wanted to be different so they included that 'feature' and the stupid music player is now your file manager and social service too apparently. Even foobar has that dumb 'file-manager masquerading as a 'library'' as an option. But it is optional in foobar, not on-all-the-time like iTunes and Windows Media Player.
That those things work and some people believe they are essential is another kudos to marketing.
Opinions tend to be opinionated *shrugs*. I hope my 'mini-rant' answered your question.

People complaining iTunes is bloated just disable what you don't use. You can even do a custom install and select what you only use.
It can be as heavy oras light as you like.

Well, I use it a lot for copying music on iPod - I know there are other programs for that, but I am not really willing to run programs as administrator just to be able to copy album art.
The most significant change is that iTunes after copying my mp3s on iPod doesn't search for gapless information anymore in files on iPod.

@Billytheonion's last reply:
iTunes will still install all that crap even if you don't use it. What's more it also installs it's own drivers and other system files which have interfered with the operation of other programs on my system.

Greynol, it is possible, but it's not really legal, as you need to extract already compiled installation file.

Billy, you don't have to defend Apple at every opportunity.
iTunes does come with a lot of crap enabled as default, which although able to be disabled in some cases, can just be annoying. Must we have to disable it all? And it doesn't allow simple drag'n'drop to the iPod (instead storing all media files on the device as seemingly randomly-chosen and cryptically named hidden folders*), doesn't support playing files unless they're added to the library (as just said), still stores personal information in purchased files (and DRM-encrypts videos), and features other restrictions, of which other users could probably provide much better examples.
And of said "crap", a lot is this irritating stuff that chooses music or creates playlists for you automatically--because Apple assume people are too daft to think for themselves, perhaps?--and/or allows you to share your listening habits or follow those of others.
But colourful adverts with white-headphoned folk dancing around sell better than functionality and thinking for yourself. (I think it'll be Linux for me next time, in case anyone's not sure. )
* It does offer sane automatic "Media type/Artist/Album/nn. Title.ext" organisation of files on your computer, but drag'n'drop to device would be nice.

I'm not just talking about Bonjour and the like, but the iTunes store, and the rest of the stuff used to make iTunes do "cool" things. It's amazing how foobar2000 can do just about anything iTunes can do (and a whole lot more) at an order of magnitude less space. That iTunes takes what seems like 20 seconds to start is beyond absurd.

Ask AfterEllen.com (June 2, 2009)
Question: Saving Face (2004) is probably my favorite lesbian film of all time. While I'd love a sequel, I'm not betting on it happening. So instead I will ask, what is everyone from the film doing now?
― Kirsten, Phoenix, AZ
Answer: For my sake, I hope by "everyone" you mean the cast and the director, because I'm really not wanting to track down the production assistants.
Lynn Chen, Michelle Krusiec, Joan Chen and Alice Wu
Writer/director Alice Wu has been working on Foreign Babies in Beijing, a comedy based on the memoir of Rachel DeWoskin about how, as a 21-year-old poetry major looking for adventure, she headed to China and became an overnight sensation as the American vixen of a Chinese soap opera. The film is listed as still being in development, so no word yet on when shooting may start or when we can expect to see it.
Michelle Krusiec (who played "Wil") has a couple of film credits from 2008 (What Happens in Vegas, Henry Poole is Here), and also appeared in an episode of My Own Worst Enemy and several episodes of the recently cancelled Dirty Sexy Money.
According to her website, Krusiec has been cast in the pilot episode of Arrested Development writer/director Mitchell Hurwitz's new project, Happiness Isn't Everything, which also stars Mary Steenburgen, Richard Dreyfuss, and Jason Biggs.
Lynn Chen ("Vivian") was in Lakeview Terrace in 2008, and has a couple of films coming out in 2009, including Why Am I Doing This? (with I Can't Think Straight's Sheetal Sheth) and White On Rice (with Maile Flanagan's 3Way castmate Cathy Shim). She's currently shooting, The People I've Slept With, with Wilson Cruz and…Cathy Shim. Again? Hmm….
people lesbians will talk…
Finally, the amazing Joan Chen is in post-production with Tonight at Noon (which started shooting in 2005), starring Ethan Hawke and my personal favorite cast member of Six Feet Under, Lauren Ambrose. Chen recently completed shooting on Mao's Last Dancer, a drama based on the autobiography of ballet dancer Li Cunxin, which is slated for an October 2009 release.
Joan Chen is also a talented filmmaker in her own right, writing, directing and producing the award-winning film Xiu Xiu, the Sent Down Girl (Tian Yu) in 1998, and directing Autumn in New York in 2000. Since Wu seems to be busy with her Foreign Babies, maybe Chen could take the reigns on that Saving Face sequel that we'd all like to see.

The Wolverine movie gets 6-second trailer on Vine
What you're about to see is a series of clips from a trailer for the next Wolverine (Marvel Comics) movie starring Hugh Jackman and one whole heck of a lot of swords. This movie will take place largely in modern-day Japan where our best beastly buddy will take on evil in a rather ancient sort of way. The trailer, you'll find, offers very few clues as to what we're going to see in the film - other than many, many fights and a whole lot of bladework going on.

5 at 10: NFL questions, more Vols drama and Team Morgan Freeman
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers looks more like an old Mike Vick and Atlanta Falcons team... The QB was scrambling every chance he had and his recievers were goal tender... it was awful... but I knew the Giants would take the Packers heart this weekend... I called a Giants vs Ravens Super Bowl some 3 months ago... I know we have no written record...but believe it guys it happened!
Who Dat Gonna Beat Dem Saints? uhh can we say the 49ers? That was one heck of a ball game...and Vernon Davis Crying like he just got voted of Survivor was Magical... pure Magical! Can I add that this year has truly been the year of the Tight End... Vernon Davis went for 180yds Gonk went for 150 or so... and hes not even the best TE on his team...although Im sure some will argue that...and Jimmy graham with the Saints... yikes... like I said...this is the year of the Tight End!
If the 49ers win it all...will anyone have the "Jim Schwartz Size Coghense" to say that Harbough won it with Singletery's team ???

Fiver- I like Jacksonville by way of LA, MIami and San Fran... Manning needs one of two things... Warm(er) weather for his body and/or a Dome...but Yes San Fran would be lovely!
the Jets sounds good...real good...and Plaxico could be the first WR to catch a Super Bowl Clinching TD pass from a Manning...and if he went to the NFC how awesome would it be to see Manning vs Brady for the whole kit-n-kaboodle??? awesome indeed...it would smell of rich Mahogney

Yes I did see D_WHIIIIIIIITE shoot 39 Ft's....and coinsedentaly he had a career high in pts.... As far as the colts and Manning go...i really want to be that guy that stays a Colts fan even after Manning leaves...but I am afraid I cannot do that! and I do not want to see him in Washington! I was kind of Hoping to see him land in Miami with Jeff Fisher as the Head Coach... or in Minnesota with Adrian Peterson running the ball... or heck even in Tennessee with CJ2K.... oh and hey I met Lebron James over the summer...we were at a Pay Phone bank with my Friends Alan and Ceaser, I asked for Change for a dollar and he only gave me three Quarters! ...sorry it never gets old!

Im gonna take a Stab at the Question De Jour...that sounds good Ill have that !.... Dooley's turnover rate ...E.. he has hired a bunch of scared little sissies who jump ship at the first chance of getting out of the SEC... lets do some talking Dooley.. Go Get Trooper Taylor to do all your recruiting and paying for players...lets get someone with the last name Manning on the Staff... and cherry pick each and every SEC Staff and get a coach who looks hungry and wants a chance at a bigger piece of the pie...Lets higher some MEN who wanna do work in the SEC and arent affraid of taking the occasional brow beating from an SEC West Foe....or in the case of this year's staff...and SEC East Foe

Kobe Better than Jordan?..hmm Kobe is only better than Jordan if you count Jordan's time with the Wizards...but if you ignore that 2-3 year span...(like you should) than no Jordan is better than Kobe... but if Mitch and the boys over in LA figure out a way to land D-Howard...well Kobe will end up with more Rings that his Royal Airness
and here is to hoping that MLB comes up with some reason to have a lockout...the start of a professional sports league in the 11-12 era just wouldnt be right without one
The MLS Draft is coming up...who you got going #1 overall ? I know you the love the draft! Something tells me the #1 overall will have a name that is hard to pronounce and will likely not have his drivers license

Just want to add that Kobe went 40 again last night...his 109th 40+ game of his career...3rd all time... (no thank you Ellias Sports Bureau)

Thank you, thank you ( as the theme song to Welcome Back Kotter plays in the background) Its been a while but me and the sweathogs finally got the oppurtunity to come back and play.
Barret(jackson) Jones coming back for his Senior Season is huge... almost as huge as the gaps he will be making for whoever runs the ball for the tide.... Roll Tide
Can we not even get a mention of Kobe draining 48 last night...angainst the...well...its not important who the Lakers were playing...what is important that after 16 seasons Kobe is still the standard in the (David Stern & Jimmy Hoffa..i say Jimmy Hoffa because you know Teamsters love their pro basketball) NBA
