Got growler from the brewery on a road trip to Ithaca. Poured form growler into Ithaca pint glass.
Fairly thick head that dissipates perhaps too quickly, cloudy straw color. Aroma of sour citrus (Bready?)Tastes a bit sour (should it? probably not) Finishes very bland, no crisp finish as I was expecting for a wit.
This beer tastes much better with food. Had one with Thai grilled chicken for dinner, enjoyed it, except again it was missing that crisp taste.

Big cumulus cloud builds with fluffy white bubbles over a hazy golden straw, which catches the light and transforms it with glittering carbonation. Gradually, the clouds clear, to a thin lace, and rings around the pint glass.
Sampling at the brewery did nothing for the aroma, but now back home, it blooms with peaches and orange peal.
Subtle flavors of coriander and fresh baked white bread, give way to pineapple and faint bitterness in the finish.
This is a smooth, moderately carbonated offering.
Bring Partly Sunny to a barbeque, and share with your friends, who may be on the fence about craft beer. You can keep pouring, long after the fire-flies begin to flash.

The beer pours a nice gold color with a thick frothy white head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is good. It has a wonderful wheat malt and yeast scent that is a bit dry and fruity. It also contains a moderate amount of coriander and bitter orange peel. The taste is good as well. It has a smooth and refreshing wheat flavor that goes down easy and finishes a bit dry, yet fruity. It's spiced up with coriander and orange peel. I love the taste of this beer. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a low bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a good seasonal beer and another new offering from IBC. These guys are finally producing some top notch beers.

Got this down at the brewery
Appearance: Pours a cloudy golden body, with a sizable white head. The head retention wasn't great, I think it's just the glass. Decent lacing.
Smell: Very bready and yeasty, some corriander, slightly peppery. Average aroma, nothing that really excites the nose.
Taste/Feel: Bready and malty. Nice citrus aftertaste. Very smooth mouthfeel, could use more carbonation I think.
This is a nice Witbier, but it's nothing extrordinary. There's nothing "off" about it, so it's got room to get a lot better.

Picked up a growler of Ithaca's new seasonal at the brewery. I was told that it is similar to the MacGregor's Dim Wit in that they both contain coriander, but one has orange peel (Partly Sunny?) while the other has lemon peel (Dim Wit?).
Poured a huge white head that faded slowly to a ring around the glass leaving only a few specs of lace along the way. Hazy sunshine colored beer with a a few small streams of carbonation. Mild aroma full of corainder with a splash of fresh vegetation. Plenty of coriander in the flavor along with a very light, almost dry malt base. I'm pretty sure this one has the orange peels in it since there is a mellow citrus flavor towards the end. There is a hint of bitterness in the finish that never fully materializes. It's light and fluffy with a little less carbonation then most witbiers. It's missing that tangy lemon wheat flavor I like in wits, and there isn't really anything else going on to make this beer interesting. Not a bad beer, but not what I'm looking for in a witbier.

Appearance - Medium light yellow. Cloudy, nearly opaque. Short creamy white head with some persistence.
Smell - Sweet and grainy. Banana and a little spice and lemon.
Taste - Sweet grain. Artificial banana with a lemony finish. Some spice, especially in the aftertaste - I'll go with cloves. Quite watery.
Mouthfeel - Light.
Overall - Flavor didn't live up to the aroma's promise.

12oz Bottle from the Potsdam NY IGA for $2
Appearance - Slightly hazy golden yellow colour with a large size fizzy white coloured head. There is a high amount of carbonation showing and there is not much lacing. The head lasted for around 5 minutes.
Smell - Breads/grains, clove/coriander, lemons
Taste & Mouth - There is a high amount of carbonation and I can taste breads/grains mixed with some lemon and some clove/coriander. There is also some herbal grassy notes and a floral/perfume flavour. It ends with a floral lingering aftertaste.
Overall - Good not great. The astringent floral notes get tiresome after a while. Well worth trying but not something I'd buy a whole lot of. A decent summer refresher.

Poured from a bottle into a tumbler pint, the beer is a copper-gold coloring with a filmy white coating. Aromas of toasted wheat, citrus sweet, and a touch of roasted herbs. Flavors are light and smooth, with a roasty and nutty backbone supporting some light spicing and lemony citrus blendings. Aftertaste is fruity sweet, with a grainy touch. The finish is a bit filmy and slightly lingering. Not bad.

Golden yellow in color with a slight chill haze. Poured with a short white foam that quickly reduced to a wispy cap that left sticky lacings on the glass. Lemon, earthy, grassy, bready aromas. Crisp, tangy feel with refreshing lively carbonation and a crisp finish. Tangy, spicy hop flavors with earthy grass and bready malt beneath from beginning to end. Finishes with a light tangy, herbal hop bitterness. Very crisp and refreshing.

A- Partly cloudy light orange beer poured into a pint glass. Foamy white head forms to a nice three finger size but it only lasts for a minute or so. Tiny bubbly ring around the edges with a few clouds in the middle. Head disappears completely leaving no lace and a strange looking beverage.
S- Wheat/grain bomb, too much so it seems to dominate every whiff I get. I also get some lemon/citrus zest and just tiny yeast spice behind that.
T- Again, each sip brings with it a hefty dose of wheat bread crust. The citrus peel, floral, spicy, clove and yeast comes through more than the aroma. I get some sort of cardboard/corn hint as well, hard to describe (just super wheaty?).
MF- Light body with a somewhat watery feel. The carbonation is lower than I expected and seems off for the style. Slight bitterness.
Doesn't really do it for me in any way. The spices don't bring much flavor. The Witbier aspect of this is just not there. I just get a big flavor of wheat crust and some corn/cardboard thing going on when it comes down to it.

A: Pours a pale yellowish color with a slight haze to it with less then a fingers worth of head that dissipates to a very thin veil of lace across the top.
S: Aromas of wheat and light orange citrus coming thru with a very light hint of spice.
T: Lemon is the main characteristic here with light wheat and grain. Spice is very very faint, barely noticeable at all. Mild citrus bitterness at the end. If I had a lemon slice I would probably give it a 4.
M: Light carbonation works with the citrus flavors and theres a bit of dryness at the end.
O: Not a bad summer beer. Crisp and refreshing, def a nice summer brew.

Pours yellowish orange with golden highlights. Is very cloudy with a bubbly white head - little retention.
Smells of wheat, bitter lemon, fresh citrus, and warm spice - bitter herb.
Bitter lemon and sweet orange make for a lively mouth feel. Whole grain wheat comes after as it finishes with a bitter herb/spice. Drinking this on a partly sunny, partly cloudy PA day.

look: 3.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2 | feel: 3 | overall: 2.5
Appearance: Light golden color with a slight chill haze. Carbonation seem low in y glass.
Smell: I'm not sure what this smells like, but it is not too pleasant.
Taste: This was a huge surprise. I thought I had picked up 2 six packs of Ground Break Saison, but they changed regional beer over to Partly Sunny and I didn't notice. Quite a huge step down from Ground Break. This tastes like no other beer I ever had. It's not enjoyable which is a disappointment given it's from Ithaca a great regional brewery.
Overall: Sub par, I did not realize this was a wit beer until I logged into BA.

When i opened the bottle it exploded with carobnation. When I poured the beer, it has a hazy golden color body with a nice white head. The smell is of clove and other spices. The taste has a lot of spice going on, but mainly it is clove. This has a great mouth feel and overall a average beer.

look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
As soon as I opened the bottle, there was a ton of carbonation that poured out of the top of the bottle. When I poured it, it poured a hazy yellow with decent, soft white head that has good retention. The nose has notes of clove, yeast, and straw. The taste is clove, lemon, spice, yeast, white grapes, and very faint alcohol phenols. The mouthfeel is light bodied, moderately carbonated (in mouthfeel, not in pour), and very smooth.
Not bad, but hardly complex. This beer is a beginner's Wit. There's nothing offensive, but there are also elements of a decent wit. For those looking to get into the style, it's definitely worth checking out.

12 oz bottle courtesy of RocPorterFanatic. Pours very hazed and has a massive, topographous white head. Awesome retention. This is an almost perfect looking wit.
Coriander is definitely there in the nose, as is a hefty wheat tang. Has a spritzy lemon character that is a bit different and gives it almost a sour-ish aroma. Interesting.
The lemony aspect is definitely big in the flavor as well and makes this one almost an american wheat/witbier hybrid flavor. The coriander is not very strong and the beer lacks the traditional 'soft' feel to it that most of the classic wits have. Still though, not bad and is fairly enjoyable to drink. As a proclaimed wit fiend, this was fun to try and has some unique characteristics, but ones enough for now.

look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
A: A pale tangerine color is moderately hazy, with a strong waverly mist of micro-bubbles rising within. The capping is strong, 2 fingers, sea-shell white in color, with a frumpy, stryofoam like texture. The lacing is equally strong sticking well to the glass leaving a chunky, bready ring band about.
S: Pale oranges, wheat and a pretty good musky nature. Fairly simple, could use some sharpness as well coriander to spice things up.
T: sharp nature, pale oranges and wheat. No frills flavor that lacked a good spiciness (again coriander and a lemony touch would have been nice). Musky hops, some bitterness come on the close. Dry wheat base, mundane flavor and spicing.
M: Upfront crispness, very tight and well suited per style, but quickly turns to a washy feel after a few seconds. Bubbly, washy that loses credibility on the hold.
O: Besides a good visual nature the beer lacks in comparison to staple styles like hoegaarden. Lacks a good spicy nature, bite, with a fairly sloppy wheat base that comes off as ordinary as the spicing. Partly sunny is partly dull and overcast.

Pours a murky golden straw color. A vigorous pour produces a lite foamy head fading fast.
Aroma is mostly of corrinder and celery.
Taste is definitly corrinder dominated.
Tart and dry with an off aftertaste.
Blue moon or this beer, it's a hard choice.

Aroma definitely carries a strong banana smell to it with some clove in there as well. It smells like a hefeweizen for sure, but it's categorized as a wit here. Taste should be interesting.
Taste is a tale of two halves. It starts out with a good banana presence, as was seen on the nose. No surprise there. However, halfway through the swallow it takes on somewhat of a tangy and tart citrus turn along with clove spiciness and a hint of wheat lingering in the background. Very highly carbonated. Dry in the finish.
Again, it does seem more of a hefe to me. I don't see much that would make me think this is a wit. However, for a hefe, it isn't half bad. The tartness was the part of the taste that wasn't my favorite but the rest was very solid.

I got to try this on the way back from the fest. We picked up some rarer brews from upstate NY region.
This beer was a real nice drinkable treat. The beer poured with not that much head, but it lingered nicely. The taste was real clean, with a little bit of spice in the end. Overall, I liked it a lot, but it did not have enough character to really wow me.
It seemed to be dominated by spice and a little hops. Not much malt character at all.
I think this would be a great beer to just sip when you're not thinking about it, but I also feel its just a good beer to have on your side in the summer.

Pours a hazed yellow gold, small cap of white froth, gone quickly. Nice scent filled with citrus peel, tangy wheat and fragrant spices. Taste follows scent, surprised at how full the flavor profile is... lots of bitter citrus, fresh ground spice and tangy wheat malt, maybe a touch too strong for more then a pint at a time. Light bodied, bubbly. A full flavored wit with a lot of good going for it.

A - A very nice bubbly yellow with a half inch of creamy white head. Looks pretty good.
S - Expecting a bit of lemon, yest or maybe some spice I am greeted with a smell of sour apples and pears. Is this a Saison? Very weird indeed.
T - Ow wow full on Saison flavors which is kind of offputting since it's very tart. I get full on apple and pear with a touch of lingering hay and a nice bit of hops in the finish. Rating to style this is a complete fail.
M - Medium bodied was surprisingly harder to drink than I thought.
Overall I love their "Groundbreak Saison" but this is kind of a disaster. Rating to style? Terrible. Rating to likeness. Pretty lousy.
I would avoid this if expecting to get a succession-able witbier.

Partly sunny this beer is. Into my goblet a cloudy golden yellow with a big bubbly white head. Nose contains a lot of spice. Coriander, clove, slightly sour wheat and orange peel. Flavor is full of tangy lemon, orange and wheat. The spice quickly kicks in bringing out a lot of peppery yeast and coriander. It finishes with a crisp bitterness that dulls the spicy notes down and leaves a fruity finish. The body was light and crisp. Overall It's a decent beer but I thought the spicy middle was a little much.

12oz poured into a pint glass
this comes out a light orange shade thats rather transparent (kinda surprising me as this is a witbier?). nice foamy head with big bubbles sits atop and comes down gradually. some lacing found in there. nose is cloves coriander lemon zest and a bit of bubblegum and orange peel as well. this is definitely more like it. taste is initially coriander and clove followed by a citrus burst that for an instant is orange peel and then quickly transitions into lemon zest. finishes off with a mild bubblegum taste. working semi-silently behind all this is a mild bread taste which doesnt balance the beer but does give a bit of a malt presence. intense carbonation on the front of the tongue coming from this one. overall this is a good beer and goes down easy on this particular hot day.

A: The beer is hazy dark yellow in color and poured with a thin white head that quickly faded away and left lacing on the surface, which eventually completely faded away leaving only a ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: There are light to moderate aromas of orange citrus and wheat in the nose.
T: Like the smell, the taste is dominated by flavors of citrus and wheat, but there are also some spicy hints of coriander.
M: It feels light-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The beer is very easy to drink and can be considered sessionable but I wouldn't consider it refreshing enough to be thirst quenching.

This particular wedding tradition is said to date back to ancient Israel, where women would stitch blue ribbon into their dresses to symbolize purity and fidelity. To avoid an old custom clashing with your modern wedding wardrobe, here are some fresh ways to incorporate blue into your big day. Source: Getty What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Swipe on several coats of this YSL Baby Doll Mascara ($30), and your eyes are sure to pop behind your veil. But rest assured, you won't have blue streaks running down your face as you cry yourself down the aisle. 1 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Vintage cameo bobby pins from Etsy ($20) are easy, functional, and affordable last-minute additions.

Best of all, it's subtle enough for hands and feet. 4 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This Benefit Cosmetics California Kissin' Lip Gloss ($20) does triple-duty for any bride. Top your lipstick with this blue gloss to brighten your smile, and your former fiancé won't mind the minty taste either. 6 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Every bride needs a makeup plan that will keep her shine free and picture perfect on the big day. Turn to Make Up For Ever HD Microperfecting Primer in blue ($34) to get the job done.

After reading this post, you may never look at the Westport sky the same way again.
A Westporter who asked to be called Emma sent me a link to GeoEngineeringWatch. At first glance, the website seems a bit tinfoil hat-ish.
While everyone* understands that our planet is under assault in an astonishing number of man-made ways, this goes further.
The site claims that because of geo-engineering — the artificial modification of earth's climate systems — "there is virtually NO NATURAL WEATHER" anymore. It describes engineered snowstorms that contain elements of "entomological warfare," and the like.
A long, dry video picks up the doomsday theme.
If your browser does not take you directly to the video, click here.
But part of the video — you have to be patient to find it — dealt with "chemtrailing." In Emma's words, "they" (she does not say "who") "are spraying our sky with aluminum, barium and other chemicals to change the weather."
There's pages of technical stuff on the website, but one photo caught Emma's eye:
She realized she'd seen the same "artificial" cloud formations right here in Westport.
Emma sent me photos she took in early March. Here's a shot near the Toyota dealer, on the Post Road:
This one, Emma says, shows the aftermath of spraying:
The days started out with "a gorgeous clear blue sky," Emma writes. "Then the spraying begins." After 4-5 hours, the sky turns to "this murky, translucent cover. Not a normal cloud formation, but a hazy glow."
Now, Emma notes, "I see these grid-like chemtrails on a regular basis."
She encourages Westporters to "see and judge for yourselves." Online, she says, you can find similar photos from all over the world. Just google "Geoengineering," "Chemtrailing" and "Solar Radiation Management."
If you'd like to contact Emma directly, her email is email@example.com.
PS: In between the time I wrote this story, and the time I posted it, I saw what may be chemtrails myself. Yesterday afternoon around 1:30, I happened to glance at the sky. It looked like this:

This morning's "06880" told the tale of a Sturges Highway-area resident who — even though her mailbox is all dug out — has not received mail for a week.
That inspired alert reader Karen Murphy to tell a different tale.
She writes: "I was so impressed to see the mail delivery truck on this day when so much snow fell I took a picture!"
The moral of the story: Just like real estate, with mail delivery it's all about location, location, location.

You may be in Anguilla, Belize or Cabo.
As you bake on the beach under an unbearably hot sun, weary from deciding whether to order a margarita or piña colada, feeling homesick for the 06880, here's a little reminder of what you're missing:
Don't worry. Whenever you come back, there will be some snow waiting for you.

Tagged Betsy Phillips Kahn
An alert — and increasingly perturbed — "06880″ reader says that on the 1st day after last week's 1st big snowstorm, the snowplows buried her mailbox, on a road off Sturges Highway.
She understands why the mail was not delivered that day.
The next day, her son shoveled out her mailbox, and her neighbors'. It was his birthday, and he expected a few cards. (With, perhaps, a check or two…?)
But the mailman never came.
He didn't come the next day.
Or the day after that.
In fact, he hasn't been seen since early last week.
A family member gets important medicine by mail. This woman wonders if her mailman even considers that the mailbox was shoveled out long ago.
Yesterday was a federal holiday. She hopes that today — for the 1st time in a week — her mail will show up.
"I know one thing for sure," she says. "I'm not even going to try to get it at the post office in Playhouse Square!"

I dug out our fire hydrant this morning. This afternoon (while I was on the roof shoveling snow and removing icicles) I saw a fire truck drive slowly by.

So, Westporters, a reminder: Please shovel your hydrants. The home you save may be your own.

RISMEDIA, Nov. 6, 2007-With an estimated 50 – 60% of businesses expected to send business holiday cards this year, many recognize that sending a personal greeting card can make a lasting impression. For some companies, however, the holidays are the only time of year they reach out to the people who matter most to their business with business greeting cards."Everyone likes to receive greeting cards during the holiday season," said Marc Wagenheim, product marketing director for Hallmark Business Expressions. "But corporate holiday cards done right will strengthen the personal relationship with each customer and also reflect the company's brand, values and culture."
Whether it's a large multinational corporation or a small business, organizations of all sizes can use the following tips to help the corporate holiday cards they send make a lasting impression.
1. Be the early bird. One of the best ways to get attention is to be first to send your business holiday cards. Consider mailing cards just before Thanksgiving to ensure your good wishes are delivered before the recipients take time off or the company closes for the holidays.
2. Choose carefully. Your holiday cards should reflect your company's image and values. Choose a message that sounds like something you'd say to your customers, but keep messages brief and secular unless you are certain of the recipient's religious faith. Remember, your card may be displayed in the office, so it needs to be appropriate for others to see.
3. First class all the way. Mail business holiday cards first class to ensure cards are delivered or forwarded to the correct location. And use real postage stamps. This will prevent your card from looking like it was part of a mass mailing.
4. Send to individuals. In addition to sending one greeting card to an entire company, consider sending business greeting cards to the individuals you work with directly. This lets each person you work with know you value him or her as an individual.
5. Business or personal? If you are sending holiday wishes to business associates, it is most appropriate to mail corporate holiday cards to a business address. However, if you are friends socially or have met the recipient's spouse or significant other, you can send the card to his or her home.
6. First impressions count. Make sure you spell the recipient's name and company correctly. Always use titles, such as Mr., Mrs. and Dr. For female business associates, the standard title used in the United States is "Ms." unless the recipient has a professional title or indicates another preference.
7. Give 'em your John Hancock. Even if your name is preprinted on your business holiday cards, make sure to sign your name in ink. If several members of your team work with the recipient, have them sign the card as well.
8. Make it personal. The goal is to make the business greeting cards personal, so if you can add a simple handwritten message, such as "We appreciate your business," you'll let the customer know how much you value the relationship. It sends the message that you took the extra time to write something because that person is important to you and your business.
9. Hand-address the envelope. Computer-generated labels are impersonal and make your business holiday cards look like a mass mailing.
10. Return the gesture. If you receive a holiday card, follow up by sending a holiday card, writing a note or giving the sender a quick phone call. This is another opportunity to let the customer know you appreciated the card and appreciate his or her business.
11. It's never too late. There's never a bad time to send a greeting card to a customer. And if you aren't able to send business holiday cards for the December holiday season, don't worry. New Year's is another perfect opportunity to thank customers for their business and wish them a successful new year.

Some iOS 6 users must upgrade to iOS 7 to fix FaceTime
A new Apple support document reveals that some iOS 6 users must upgrade to iOS 7 in order to get FaceTime to work properly. Those iOS 6 users who have seen FaceTime call issues pop up after April 16, 2014 may be affected by a bug "resulting from a device certificate that expired on that date." The only course of action to fix FaceTime is to update to iOS 7. People using iOS 7.0.4 or later or iOS 6.1.6 won't be affected by this issue. [via MacRumors]
Apps: Bonsai Slice, Bounsy, IMDb 4.2 + The Weather Channel 6.0
- April 24, 2014
- Apps + Games
Playground Theory's new Bonsai Slice ($3) has already gotten some press for its unique play mechanics. The game makes players move and swing their iPads around in their hands as if holding a sword. Onscreen, a swinging sword slashes through items to earn points and coins — sort of like Fruit Ninja, but with actual iPad motion, opposed to touchscreen swipes. Some parts of the game even require spinning around with your iPad in hands to slash at the correct items. You can also upgrade your sword by accumulating coins. It's more fun to watch someone play the game than to play it yourself. First of all, there are way too many bombs to avoid. They do turn into coins, but instead of getting to swing freely, you're trying to miss the bombs, necessitating more subtle movements, which isn't as fun. But even those movements can be annoying — you're forced to watch the items pop up, then physically move your iPad, all while trying to keep your eyes on the screen. It's a prime recipe for motion sickness.
Bounsy is a new game from karzy. An iOS exclusive, Bounsy is a physics-based game that has players using their fingers to guide a stream of balls to a set target. There are plenty of great physics-based games in the App Store by now, so it's become tougher to stand out. Bounsy's issue — which plagues plenty of touchscreen games — is that your fingers and hands cover up too much of the screen. This causes the gameplay to feel a bit more frustrating than it should be, but it might bother some more than others. If you're looking for another physics game, Bounsy is free to play, and the full version costs $1.
Cook: New products 'closer,' mobile payments 'really interesting'
- April 24, 2014
- Apple
Apple CEO Tim Cook again hinted at upcoming new products without revealing anything concrete in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. He said the company's strong fiscal quarter might silence critics, while adding, "Maybe it will take some new products." In the interview, Cook again stressed the importance of getting things right — not being first. "I feel great about what we've got coming. Really great and it's closer than it's ever been," he said.
Cook also called mobile payments "really interesting," noting that most iTunes accounts — which now number about 800 million in total — have credit cards attached. He said: "We already have people using Touch ID to buy things across our store, so it's an area of interest to us. And it's an area where nobody has figured it out yet. I realize that there are some companies playing in it, but you still have a wallet in your back pocket and I do too which probably means it hasn't been figured out just yet."

Notes from Apple's Q2 2014 earnings call

Apple's conference call after the company's reported Q2 2014 earnings started with CEO Tim Cook calling the results "very strong." The results were Apple's "strongest non-holiday quarter ever," Cook said.
Cook pointed out that iPhone sales were strong in the quarter. Apple's smartphone market share is now 55 percent in Japan. There are now 800 million iTunes accounts, "most of them with credit cards," Cook noted. iPad sales were at high end of Apple's expectations, though below analyst explanations — Cook spoke about why there was a difference between the two.
Apple announces 7:1 stock split, increased share buyback, dividends
- April 23, 2014
- Apple
Apple today announced a seven-for-one stock split, with shareholders receiving six new shares for every one they own at the close of business on June 2, 2014. This is the first split since 2005. The company's share repurchase program will be increasing from $60 billion to $90 billion, and has raised its dividend to percent%. This puts it at $3.20 per common share, payable on May 15, 2014.
Apple Q2 2014: 43.7M iPhones, 16.3M iPads, 2.7M iPods
- April 23, 2014
- Apple
Apple reported its second quarter 2014 financial results today, as the company sold 43.7 million iPhones, 16.3 million iPads, and 2.7 million iPods. The company also reported $45.6 billion in quarterly revenue, and a quarterly net profit of $10.2 billion. Revenue is down from the record of Q1 2014, but up from Q2 2013. Gross margin was 39.6 percent in Q2 2014, compared to 37.5 percent in the year-ago quarter.
For its fiscal third quarter, Apple is providing guidance of revenue between $36 billion and $38 billion, and gross margin between 37 percent and 38 percent. Apple's conference call on the results will take place at 5 p.m. EST and can be heard on the company's investor website.
"We're very proud of our quarterly results, especially our strong iPhone sales and record revenue from services," Apple CEO Tim Cook said. "We're eagerly looking forward to introducing more new products and services that only Apple could bring to market."
"We generated $13.5 billion in cash flow from operations and returned almost $21 billion in cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the March quarter," Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer said. "That brings cumulative payments under our capital return program to $66 billion."
Former employee says Apple left iOS users vulnerable
Apple left iOS users vulnerable by not fixing security weaknesses in iOS at the same time as in OS X, former Apple employee Kristin Paget wrote in a blog post. Paget points out that an OS X fix included a number of the same issues which popped up about three weeks later in Apple's recent iOS 7.1.1 update. "Is this how you do business?" Paget wrote. "Drop a patch for one product that quite literally lists out, in order, the security vulnerabilities in your platform, and then fail to patch those weaknesses on your other range of products for *weeks* afterwards? You really don't see anything wrong with this?" Paget asks readers to compare previous updates of iOS and OS X to see how security patches differ over time between the two operating systems.

Siri coming to Apple TV?
- April 23, 2014
- Apple TV
It's possible that Siri could appear on Apple TV in the future, judging by code found in the iOS 7.1 SDK. According to 9to5Mac, an SDK file showing which platforms are compatible with Siri uses the number 3 as an identifier — the number 3 internally represents the Apple TV family in such cases. The code is present in iOS 7.1 and 7.1.1, but not in iOS 7.0.6. It's possible Apple could introduce Siri in the rumored upcoming version of Apple TV.
Google covering some Samsung defense costs in Apple case
- April 23, 2014
- Apple
Google has agreed to take over defense of some of Samsung's claims in Apple's current patent lawsuit, also agreeing to indemnify Samsung on potential losses from those claims, Re/Code reports. Though Google agreed to cover four patents, two were dropped from the case before the trial — remaining are the '414 and '959 patents, involving background synchronization and universal search. The information was revealed through Google attorney James Maccoun's deposition testimony. As the report notes, "this was the first evidence shown to the jury that Google is playing a central role in the defense."
Changes introduced to Apple's app content rating system
- April 23, 2014
- Apple, Apps + Games
Apple has sent an email to developers about recent changes that may affect the content rating of certain apps. A new rating system has been instituted in Brazil to meet local regulations — the rating is determined by an app's existing content description. Territory-specific restrictions in the Brazil, Korea, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia app stores have also changed. Additionally, developers can now use new descriptions for apps: medical/treatment information, gambling and contests, and unrestricted web access.
iOS 7.1.1 makes in-app purchases clear in Top Grossing chart
Along with minor tweaks and bug fixes, today's release of iOS 7.1.1 sees Apple continuing to make it clear which apps support in-app purchases. Now, the Top Grossing chart in the App Store lists when an app has in-app purchases.
This is the latest step the company has taken to point out which apps may eventually cost more than their initial purchase price.
Apple releases iOS 7.1.1
iOS 7.1.1, an update to Apple's mobile operating system, is now available for download. The update lists improvements to Touch ID fingerprint recognition, the virtual keyboard, and Bluetooth keyboard usage.
While complaints regarding iOS 7.1's keyboard space key have been fairly widespread, the update appears to address keyboard responsiveness issues rather than design.
Apps: 1Password 4.5, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Health Mate 2.0 + WeMo 1.5.1
- April 22, 2014
- Apps + Games
AgileBits is calling its newest version of 1Password ($9) its biggest update ever — an apt time for it, considering the catastrophic Heartbleed bug. The password manager and secure wallet app has been rebuilt for speed and productivity in version 4.5. 1Password now supports multiple vaults and sharing from the Mac or Windows versions of 1Password. Multiple Dropbox accounts are also now supported. The app's browser has been improved, with easier login and checkout, and one button for autofill.
New from Gameloft is The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ($5), a new fighting adventure based on the upcoming film. Players can guide an impressively-animated Spider-Man through an open world, web-slinging and wall climbing while fighting many recognizable characters from the Spider-Man universe. While the game has been designed to encourage exploration, enabling Spider-Man to move throughout a giant and impressively populated city, the swinging, climbing, and jumping controls haven't quite been perfected, nor have the camera controls, collectively making navigation and movement somewhat confusing. The non-linear design also leaves Spider-Man to fight minor crooks and take on side missions that feel both repetitive and not particularly meaningful, rather than tackling big villains. It's not a bad game, but with a bit of extra polish, it could have been a great one.
Apple Reuse & Recycling program expands to iPad
Apple has expanded its in-store Reuse & Recycling program to iPad, 9to5Mac reports. Previously, only iPhones could be traded in for credit toward other iPhones. Now, iPads can be traded in for credit, and credit from iPhones and iPads can be applied to a newer version of either device. It's noted that Apple is less lenient on used iPad conditions — for example, stores won't accept an iPad with a cracked screen, but will accept an iPhone in the same condition. Apple won't accept trade-ins of its newest current devices — iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina display, and iPhone 5s and 5c — or its retired devices.
Apple offering free recycling of used products in stores
- April 22, 2014
- Apple
Apple is now offering free recycling for all of its used products in its retail stores, the Associated Press reports. Previously, only some devices could be recycled in-store. The company will still give out gift cards for devices with monetary value. Apple's recycling policy change coincides with Earth Day and the company's new environmental campaign.
Report: 5.5" 'iPhone Air' may not be seen until 2015
- April 22, 2014
- iPhone
Apple's rumored 5.5" iPhone may not hit the market until 2015 due to battery issues, according to Taiwan's Commercial Times. The phone — referred to in the report as "iPhone Air" — supposedly needs a battery that's 2mm or less in thickness. Suppliers need more time to meet Apple's requirements, thus delaying the phone. While the report doesn't seem completely unreasonable, it's worth noting that the Commercial Times previously claimed a 4.8" "iPhone Math" — almost certainly a translation error — would arrive last year.

Apple interviewing candidates for mobile payment service
- April 21, 2014
- Apple
Apple has been interviewing senior payments industry executives as the company looks to move forward with its own mobile payments service, Re/Code reports. The company is looking to hire for two new positions — head of product and head of business development — concentrating "exclusively on building a business around the hundreds of millions of credit cards it already has on file." Apple executive Jennifer Bailey is reportedly leading the initiative — a prior report noted Bailey was in a new role. A source said on the plans, "their ambitions are very, very serious." While this report claims that the initiative is now further along, rumors of an iTunes-based mobile payment service have been circulating for long enough that it's hard to imagine the company is just staffing up for this purpose now.

Today SJ 78, a bill to ratify the stalled Equal Rights Amendment, was placed on the docket of the Elections subcommittee in the Virginia House. Could this signal GOP support for Constitutional pay equity? Even in the 21st century corporations continue to pay women less because they are women. Last week we learned that General Motors offered their first female CEO a salary 50% less than her male predecessors (the usual female pay discount is only 8%).
What I know about sports, I learned watching movies, but what I know about fair play and equality, I learned watching my parents. Although movies Based on a true story, have evolved closer to reality since William Bendix played Babe Ruth, the brain damage of inequality requires more than A Hail Mary Pass at equal economic opportunity and Justice for All to tackle an Equal Rights Amendment fumbled by a deadline for ratification.
Now that the ballots have been counted and the citizens of the commonwealth have spoken, we need Gov.-elect McAuliffe and our elected officials to focus on revamping our criminal justice system. Moving forward, efforts must be made to make the system more effective, less costly, and fairer — restoring faith in the system so that it can work for all Virginians.
CWA devised a simple plan for which they were uniquely suited: drag TPP out of the shadows and into the light - one city at a time - using a medium they understand intimately: Daily Newspapers!
Two CWA members - Dave Felice in Denver, CO and Madelyn Elder in Portland, OR have started the ball rolling. We just need to keep up the momentum leading up to a big day of petition deliveries in January.
Step 1 is to send an Op-Ed to your Daily Newspaper.
If you have a Twitter account you can help stop Fast Track on the TPP. Sign-in to your Twitter account and copy and paste the Tweets from our Twitter storm. Or you can copy your favorite Tweet and then click on the map and Tweet your legislator.
Twitter Storm Tweets for Tuesday, January 28th @ 9pm Eastern
Tweets for the special State of the Union Twitter Storm will be posted on January 28th at 8pm EST. Check back for the new Tweets.
Click here to quickly find your member of Congress by putting in your home address. This site also features a one-click link to the same information in Spanish
Then call and ask them to oppose Fast Track on the Trans Pacific Partnership.
Sample script is below.
"I'm a constituent, and I am strongly opposed to my representative giving away Congress' constitutional authority to control our trade policy. We send people to Congress to stand up for us, not give away their power to stop more American job offshoring and protect us from dangerous imported food that doesn't meet our safety standards. This latest so-called trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), would not only do that - but also ban Buy American and increase our medicine prices. That's why it's crucial that Congress not give away its authority to make sure every provision of TPP is in our interest before this massive deal can be signed. Good trade deals don't need to be railroaded through Congress using Fast Track. I hope my representative will commit to opposing this outrageous legislation."
Send an email directly to your Senators and Representatives courtesy of our partners at CWA. Enter your zip code and your members are automatically selected.
MoveOn.org Petition - Congress Don't Renew Fast Track
Pulic Citizen Petition - Congress Must Reject Fast Track Authority
MoveOn.org Petition - Stop the Trans Pacific Partnership
CREDO Petition - Stop the Massive Corporate Power Grab
If your Senator(s) and/or Representative is not currently opposed to Fast Track, they may not completely understand all the implications. Nothing sends a stronger message to a Congressional member than a personal visit to a district office by a voter with a written request. Phone calls and emails are incredibly important but nothing gets attention like a personal visit. Our Educate Congress page has information and a sample letter. Print the letter, sign it, deliver it.
Congress only has one more week in session this year, the week of December 9. So far our pressure to stop the TPP has been working. Visit Flush the TPP for calling scripts and links to Members of the Ways and Means Committee.

This Week in the LA Progressive: 2 May to 8 May 2010

Love, Sharon Kyle, Bob Letcher, Robert Illes, and Ivan Eland
Speaker Pelosi and the Revival of Progressive Politics in America
Randy Shaw: Yet Ronald Peters' and Cindy Simon Rosenthal's just-released book, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the New American Politics , shows that Nancy Pelosi played a far greater role than is realized in reviving progressive politics after the disappointing 2004 defeats. Pelosi shaped the Democrats message, framed attacks on Bush and the Republican Party, maintained party unity and then delivered for progressives after becoming Speaker in 2006. Nancy Pelosi is not only the most powerful female politician in United States history, but she may also be the most effective progressive national elected official of her time.
Extremism in the Defense of Librium
Tom Degan: On the one hand the latent threats of violence and intimidation that underlies the actions and speech of the Tea Party crowd is enough to make any clear-thinking person seriously alarmed about the direction the lunatic fringe of American politics seems to be headed. On the other hand, these people are just so damned funny! We're talking Ambivalence City here! Part of me wishes them to go away and the other part would mourn their loss if they ever did. Let's face it: These assholes are the best thing to happen to progressive politics in this country since Eleanor Roosevelt.

Joseph Palermo: The Democrats must pass a lot of legislation before the midterms or they're going to be very sorry. Soon enough, given the Supreme Court's recent 5-4 ruling in Citizens United v. FEC, we're going to see campaigns where our choice for U.S. Senator will be between the "Doritos Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips" candidate and the "Pepsi/Pizza Hut/KFC/Frito Lay/Taco Bell" candidate. Former President George W. Bush is raking in the bucks speaking at the National Grocers' Association. First he defiled the presidency by getting John Yoo to turn the Justice Department into a law factory for monarchical presidential powers, now he shares the stage as an inspirational speaker with Terry Bradshaw. Our elections are about to become a satirical skit that Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report did a long time ago.

Obama Ignores Community Organizing Lessons
When Barack Obama backed a Senate health reform plan that differed radically from prior proposals, he ignored the lessons he learned as a young organizer on Chicago's South Side. Obama once knew that it's wrong to bypass the community's agenda to strike a backroom deal, regardless of its superior terms. Obama also understood that failing to consult with the community disempowers the base, and discourages people from participating in future organizing campaigns.

For anyone following my reviews,
I want to give you guys a heads up. Things are crazy around here. That means my reviews aren't going to be as detailed as they used to be. I'm doing a lot of commuting these days, add selling a house, and trying to live... and somewhere you have to make some sacrifices for the greater good. I'm writing in the midst of all this turmoil, so every word counts. From here on, most of my reviews will be a few sentences about what I did and didn't like about a book. Add a star rating, and I'm sure everyone will figure it out. There will only be few exceptions for some fellow independent authors I previously agreed to do reviews for.
I'm still open for questions and comments through my e-mail. Just know it may take me a day or two to get back with you.

TAMPA — Georgetown's Otto Porter Jr. went sprawling after loose balls, fell hard on an elbow and did just about everything a player could do to keep a Big East victory from slipping away Saturday. But trailing South Florida by one with less than 12 seconds remaining, he got pounded so hard as he drove for a final shot that the ball popped out. The scrum that followed sent the Bulls to the free throw line to seal a come-from-behind 61-58 triumph.
It was South Florida's first Big East victory of the season, and it landed like a punch in the gut to a young Hoyas team that had hoped to reassert its relevance in conference play after an 0-2 start.

THE return of Danny Buderus and the resurgence of Darius Boyd have given the Newcastle Knights a twin-pronged injection of confidence leading into tonight's clash with Gold Coast Titans at Hunter Stadium.
Buderus has missed the past two games with Achilles tendonitis but completed a full training session yesterday, despite a dose of the flu, and is considered a certain starter tonight.
Boyd rested yesterday after his two-try effort for Queensland in Wednesday's Origin series opener but is expected to take his place in Newcastle's No.1 jersey.
Rookies Peter Mata'utia and Kevin Naiqama trained in Boyd's absence yesterday as a precaution.
Widely touted as a NSW Origin certainty before he was sidelined, Buderus, 34, will resume the Knights captaincy and his experience, work rate and energy will be welcomed by his teammates and coach Wayne Bennett.
Bennett described Buderus this week as ''a tremendous asset to us'' who rated alongside Chris Houston as Newcastle's best player this season.
''Hopefully Danny will be back this week and ... it may just give us a bit more impetus,'' the coach said.
Those sentiments were echoed yesterday by Knights playmaker Jarrod Mullen, despite joking that Buderus was ''a bit crook'' and suffering from a ''Cameron Smith virus''.
''He's given his Achilles a good rest, so he'll be right to go tomorrow night,'' Mullen said.
''He definitely lifts the team.''
Mullen was similarly enthused about the prospect of renewing acquaintances with Boyd, who has been searching for form all season before striking gold at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.
''Darbs didn't train this morning,'' he said.
''He's got a few bumps and bruises but I think he'll play.
''I thought he had a tremendous game [for Queensland]. Like I said, if he can bring some of that confidence back – they had a good win against the Blues – if he can bring that in tomorrow night, it'll be good for us.''
Languishing in 10th position after four wins from 10 games, Newcastle could find themselves four points adrift of the top eight if results this weekend fall against them.
Gold Coast are two points below the Knights but their recent form is far more encouraging.
Newcastle are coming off successive losses to the Roosters (24-6) and North Queensland (32-12), while in their past three games Gold Coast have beaten Canterbury and Manly and lost by one point to Wests Tigers.
Titans coach John Cartwright said co-captain Scott Prince would return from an ankle injury.
Gold Coast's Origin trio of Nate Myles, Greg Bird and Ashley Harrison will all play.

MARCO ISLAND — The Marco Eagle learned of a "car versus house at 1060 San Marco Road" over a police, fire scanner at about 10 a.m. Monday morning.
Marco Islander Gregory Mann held out his arm and showed the one scratch caused by his watch scraping his wrist.
"I was coming down this way," Mann said indicating he was driving south on San Marco Road.
"Then a car came right out in front of me. I swerved quickly. Never had a chance to hit my brakes... I know the people who own this house," Mann added.
The residents of the San Marco Road house were not home at the time of the accident.
Mann narrowly missed the side of the house, coming to an abrupt stop after crashing instead into a coconut tree.
Just as Mann was about to get out of his SUV, a coconut came crashing down on his hood, he said.
Luckily, Mann was wearing a seat belt and no serious injuries were reported.
A crash report was not immediately available and estimated damage to the vehicle is not yet known. The driver who reportedly cut Mann off, did not stop. Descriptions of that vehicle driver and vehicle are not currently available.

But he had laser like precision in his passes, crosses, free-kicks and corners. The product of hundreds of hard work in the practice field since he was in his teens.
Others are more talented but their lack of precision renders them less effective. English midfielders like Gerrard, Barnes and Gazza had more talent than Beckham. But Beckham was one of the most effective players ever.
This sounds like a description of Larry Bird. As an athlete, Larry Bird wasn't even in the same class as Dominique Wilkins, but as a basketball player, Wilkins wasn't in the same class as Bird.
Good, and accurate, comparison
