California Chicken Sliders
The definition of "slider" has expanded beyond the original mini burger made of beef to include pulled pork, turkey, ground lamb and more. At the Slider Bar Café, in Palo Alto, Calif., many variations are on the menu. These Indian-spiced patties are based on ground chicken thigh meat, grilled and sandwiched between multigrain buns and topped with avocado slices.

Mobile coupons offer an excellent opportunity for retailers to appeal to customers on the go, and to drive them in stores with special offers and discounts.
For example, US retailers such as Target are offering coupons which can be downloaded to their phones and scanned at the checkout, while in the UK, apps like Voucher Cloud allow users to search for local businesses offering coupons which can be redeemed in store.
Here are ten reasons why retailers should consider the use of mobile coupons in their marketing strategies...

Whilst websites adapt every day to be as accessible and usable as possible, email hasn't quite benefited from the same level of attention in this area. Instead, marketers have frequently chosen to ignore these developments in all other areas online and continue to do things the way they always have.
Email as a marketing channel is being creatively abused like no other, and it is time for change.

No longer is brand marketing likely to remain the prerogative of conventional brand marketing organisations.
Whilst these organisations have great strengths in creativity, planning and campaign delivery, they exhibit fewer strengths online where a host of brand association, experience and conversation takes place.
There are others who are better placed to engage and create influence by blog, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter already thrive online. And they are the digital agencies...

Whilst social media tends to attract much attention at the moment, the savvy marketing professional understands that success lies in using the best digital marketing mix and not over focusing on one channel.
Email marketing remains an important component, but what can be done to raise our game and generate even better results from this established and proven marketing tool?

While plenty of US retailers have mobile commerce sites or apps, it seems those in the UK have been slower to move into mobile.
I covered this topic last year, and could only think of three m-commerce sites in the UK, two of which were Amazon and eBay. There are now a few more, but a lot of big names are yet to move into mobile commerce.
Strong growth is predicted for the mobile commerce market, and there are plenty of reasons why a mobile commerce site (or app) can benefit retailers. I've been listing the UK retailers with a mobile presence...

A recent survey from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) found that more than 60% of shoppers are less likely to return goods bought online.
This is partly due to a lack of awareness from consumers about their rights when shopping online, but could also be the fault of retailers and their returns policies.
This is an area where multichannel retailers can do a lot to reassure customers about buying online by allowing in-store returns, so which retailers are doing this?

Hi all, Thanks Alex and Nealey, worked on an abstract pastel of the Rainbow Mtns in China 6x9 also finished another Your Thoughts about this true happening Watercolor 11x14
Blue Ridge Mountains Art Center
Southern Appalachian Artists Guild
Kim T (Kim513)
C&C welcome!
Hi all, This looks a lot better than the photo, Coming Soon Artic Sea Resorts, pallete painting using watercolor , gesso and gel medium 11x14
Through trial and error, I have at least most of my ?s answered re. posting pics for the Chall. now.
Hi Kim, I apologize for not answering this yesterday. It was my experience in June that you CAN edit the title and pictures after first posting them. Two photos can be posted side-by-side if, when you are posting them and the "maximum height and width" boxes come up, you make the maximum width small enough to accommodate two images. I will send you my phone number via the conversation feature in case you would like to call me. Although I've only hosted the forum once, I'm happy to give you any info I learned in doing so.
Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
Jen C & C's always welcome
Fred, the Texas Transportation Commission is meeting today to discuss giving some 2,000 miles of farm-to-market roads back to cities and counties to maintain (in a money-saving measure for the state), so your highway painting is so timely. I know you must follow infrastructure news as your paintings on this topic always reflect the current news. Great visual commentary!
And, as far as the Arctic goes, it would not surprise me to see your idea coming to fruition sometime in the future ... As you are probably aware, the melting of Arctic ice has already opened up a new shipping channel for oil from South Korea across Southern Russia and through a Swedish fjord to Europe, saving shippers from the cost and risk of Suez Canal crossings.
Fred ~ This is a great effect using the thick gesso under watercolors. Texture is so interesting.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Fred, I want to echo Nealy's comment - sorry, commented on the message and neglected to comment on the art! Also, just looked at photos of the Rainbow Mountains and your abstract makes perfect sense.
Hi all, Thank you Alex and Nealey, I mix a rather large quantity of 1/2 gesso,1/2 gel medium mix an amt with color and stir but still show some white and apply with a palette knife. This is Bennie and Ruthie leaving Venus perhaps to stop at earth for a visit perhaps not. Venus is a beautiful planet with beautiful inhabitants but would not be an interesting place to live because all the inhabitants are of the same race and culture also the planet is devoid of animal life and birds. They promise Venus 1 that they would not divulge that life exists on Venus. 11x14 watercolor
Hi Fred, I realize that I thought Venus's name was Venus ! as opposed to Venus 1 and apologize for the error. Anothing intriguing painting with a wonderful rocky surface and beautiful land and sky colors ...
Hi all, Thanks again Alex, Bennie and Ruthie decide to make a quick stopover on earth to see if their remaining family members want to join the colony they started on Mars. their answer is an empathic YES because although still beautiful, their habitat is rapidly disappearing due to ? 11x14 watercolor
Fred you are going to get a bigger space ship or do a lot of shuttling back and forth and you know the price of fuel.
C and C always welcomed
Your rainbow mountains is pretty. Are you sure it is China I didn't see the Great Wall
Your political painting is nice too. Do you use a brush to do that lettering or a pencil?
Fred, the sky and foliage are so pretty in this painting of Bennie and Ruthie inviting the other members of their family to join them. In terms of the story, it reminds me of emigrants in history who traveled long distances, many times never to be able to return or even stay in touch ... A scary and brave adventure.

Some days I drive the 10 miles from Ferndale to Quicken Loans' headquarters on Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit; other days I take the bus. But my favorite way to get to work is by bike.

Those ages 55 and older and having a difficult time landing a job may find some help through a program made available through Mature Services.
The independent organization offers several services for older citizens who qualify, including placing them in jobs on a temporary, temp-to-hire, long-term or direct placement basis.
Additionally, staffers help with creating r�sum�s and sharpening or acquiring pertinent skills.
Employer-based training, made available through a senior community service employment program funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, pays for new employee's training time.
The program covers all wages and fringe benefits during the initial training, typically lasting four to six weeks. Participants may collect unemployment benefits simultaneously.
"Partnering with employers through the employer-based training program ensures that both our candidate and the employer can be sure that the job is a good fit," Mature Services said.
At the end of the training period many workers are simply transferred to the company's payroll.
Ed Loftus, project director for the Mature Services office in Ashtabula which also serves Lake, Geauga and nearby counties, said most of the people who enter the program learn skills that have not been acquired throughout the years.
"The big key with older workers is training," he said. "Technology has passed them by."
Mature Services also assists companies with developing stepdown retirement programs to not only keep their older workers but also to maintain their current skills and knowledge.
Often older workers can act as mentors to younger employees, including demonstrating the positive elements of an older worker's philosophy, the organization said.
Loftus said some companies like part-time older workers for their good work ethic, sense of responsibility, flexible schedules and lack of health benefit needs.
Betty Battaglia of Mentor found her job in the tax department of Eastlake City Hall with the help of the organization.
"(Mature Services) has so much to offer you," she said. "They help with job skills and computer training. It's an overall program if you've been out of the business world."
Applications are being accepted through Friday for part-time jobs available in Geauga County. Applications can be picked up at Geauga County Jobs and Family Services, 12480 Ravenwood Drive in Chardon.
For details, call Loftus at 440-992-4749.

although this is a delicious idea, i have to admit that there's something about seeing a whole fish, eye sockets and all, on a plate that kinda dampens my appetite. i'll have to remember that when i'm in a binging mood. :)

Emphasis added. Yes, I assumed the entire file was being rewritten. If not, one could add an online defragmentation step after the metadata update, though online defragmentation introduces atomicity issues of its own.
Creating and renaming a temporary file has its own issues, which have already been mentioned, particularly relating to symlinks and hard links. Even for ordinary files, it's not guaranteed that there exists a directory on the same filesystem where you have permission to create a temporary file. Bind mounts (which can apply to individual files) are another potential sore spot. How much work should applications be expected to do just to find a place to put their temporary file such that rename() can be guaranteed atomic?
An O_ATOMIC option to open() would ensure that you are really replacing the original file, and that the temporary space comes from the same filesystem.
1) No, there are no obvious solutions yet, but there have been several reasonable proposals.
2) Current applications can do atomic replacement in common but limited circumstances using rename(). They all depend on creating a temporary file on the same filesystem, which assumes both that you can locate that filesystem (see: bind mounts) and that you can create new files there. They also tend to break hard links, which may or may not be a desired behavior. There is no general, straightforward solution to the problem of atomically replacing the data associated with a specific inode.
XFS: the filesystem of the future?
Posted Mar 5, 2012 23:37 UTC (Mon) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
this sounds like a red hearing to me.
If you aren't allowed to create a new file in the directory of the file, are you sure you have permission to overwrite the file you are trying to modify?
as for the symlink/hardlink 'issue', in my sysadmin experience, more problems are caused by editors that modify files in place (not using temp files and renaming them) than by breaking links. Editors that break links when modifying a file are referred to as 'well behaved' in this area.
Posted Mar 6, 2012 0:28 UTC (Tue) by nybble41 (subscriber, #55106) [Link]
These are orthogonal permissions. To overwrite the file you need write permission on the file. To create a new file in the same directory you need write permission on the directory. It's easily possible to have one without the other:
root# mkdir a root# touch a/b root# chown user a/b
user$ echo test > a/b # no error user$ touch a/c touch: cannot touch `a/c': Permission denied
> as for the symlink/hardlink 'issue', in my sysadmin experience, more problems are caused by editors that modify files in place (not using temp files and renaming them) than by breaking links.
Obviously that would remain an option. The point is that it should be an *option*, alongside the ability to atomically update a file in place. Symlinks are often used to add version control over configuration files (without putting the entire home / etc directory in the repository), while bind mounts are more often used with namespaces and chroot environments. Usually you want the latter to be read-only, but if the file is read/write it makes sense to allow it to be updated without breaking the link. (You can't just delete or rename over a bind target, either; it has to be unmounted.)

The thrill of serving in a strange land, with people of a different background and culture and possibly language, will cause your heart to beat faster, your excitement to increase, and your prayer life to accelerate.
The need is for young, and those not so young, to respond to share the good news of the gospel with those who need to hear it. Your task may be to demonstrate the essence of the gospel in working clothes out in the market square. It may be to work far from the asphalt jungle of the big, crowded cities. You may be invited to serve out on the front lines of emerging civilization, where the most up-to-date mode of travel may be by foot, by canoe, or by ox-cart.

Lightning Strikes Twice
Billboard's Most Likely Winners and Losers
Spice Girl Geri Halliwell debuted her hot new romance during the Idol Gives Back show this past weekend-by bringing along boyfriend Ivan "FlipZ" Velez.
FlipZ, a Puerto Rican dancer/actor from New York, has appeared in several dozen movies, including a prominent role opposite Jessica Alba in Honey.
Now that her fellow Spice Girls have settled down into marriage and motherhood, we're thrilled that Geri has found herself a man of her own. Of course, the fact that he's a smoking hot Latino isn't too shabby, either.
Cameron Diaz may be boy crazy, but it looks like she only has eyes for one fella these days—hunky Scottish actor Gerard Butler. The UK's Sunday Mirror reports that the new couple have been spotted all over Los Angeles in various states of embrace: watching the sunset over cocktails at Shutters on the Beach hotel, dining by candlelight at the Chateau Marmont, and getting frisky at hot spot Teddy's in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
Friends of Jessica Alba gathered at L.A.'s Ever After Teahouse on Saturday to celebrate the upcoming birth of Jessica's daughter Honor Warren, E! News reports. Guests, including Jessica's sister, The Office star Rashida Jones and Kim Kardashian spent the afternoon with Jessica eating cupcakes, skewered shrimp, mini pastries and ice cream floats while listening to music from the Buena Vista Social Club.

If you can do a full wort boil with extracts is it still beneficial to be adding extract late to avoid color changes and the like?
What would happen to hop utilization with extract late in a full boil?
Take the tour
Homebrewing Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for dedicated home brewers and serious enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Most recipes are formulated for full wort, full gravity boils. Reserving extract would increase your hop utilization and the beer would be slightly, but probably not noticeably, lighter. Make your own decision about the benefits. | |||||||||
if you are using brewing software a lot of them have the option of indicating that your extract is being used as a 'late kettle addition' and you can then set the time (i.e. 15m from flameout), by doing this the software should automatically adjust your SRM and IBU's. | |||

30 Day Countdown to A1: #25 Jimmy Weinert
Tuesday, December 11, 2012 | 5:20 PMWe are now down to just 25 days before the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross Championship begins with Anaheim 1, so we turn to #25 on the Monster Energy 30-Day Countdown the best supercross racers of all time. Today we present one of the original superstars of supercross, as well as the 1976 AMA Supercross Champion, #25 Jimmy Weinert.
When supercross as we know it began on July 8, 1972, with the first Superbowl of Motocross at the Los Angeles Coliseum, Weinert was there, one of the top Americans riding a Yamaha. But his success in "stadium motocross" actually predates even the L.A. race. On March 11 of that same year, Weinert won the 250cc class at the Daytona round of the Florida Winter-Am Series, a race that would not be recognized as a supercross until the first "Yamaha Super Series" in 1974, the standalone tour that morphed into AMA Supercross.
Jimmy Weinert celebrates an early SX triumph alongside the late Rich Eierstedt.
Racer X Archives photo
Weinert, who hailed from Middletown, New York, got his start in motorcycle racing on the "dirt scrambles" circuits of New England, then transitioned into full-on motocross as the sport began to rapidly grow. He finally got his first true supercross win in 1976, when he was racing for the Kawasaki factory team. Back then there were only five races in the series, and Weinert would end up taking the title by 10 points over the heavy favorite, Pierre Karsmakers, with defending champion Jimmy Ellis third.
Over the years that followed the hard-riding, fast-living "Jammer" was always a threat to win races. He was also known for his ability to psych his competition right out of their comfort zones. He famously showed up at the sandy Oakland Coliseum race sporting a neck brace and a dunes-style paddle tire on his rear wheel. Of course he won, and paddle tires were immediately banned!
Weinert was not only the 1976 AMA Supercross Champion, but also a two-time outdoor champ, as well as a proud father.
Racer X Archives photo
Injuries curtailed much of Weinert's later years as a pro, but he did manage to win two supercross races in 1979, which was the height of Bob "Hurricane" Hannah's dominance. His charismatic persona has lived on in supercross lore, as Weinert ranks among one of the sport's all-time characters. He's also the 25th best SX racer of all time on our list!
Check out all of Jimmy Weinert's finishes in SX/MX over the years in the Racer X Vault.
Weinert's last big win came in 1979 at the Daytona Supercross (though this photo was from a different year).

Check out that victory celebration… And the Monster Energy girl standing next to the Jammer and Rich. Looks a lot like Anita Bryant to me..
"Monster Energy girl" Now that's funny. Someone help me out if you can remember who was the first title sponser for Supercross. I believe it was Camel in 1986?
Jammin Jimmy was the prankster of yesteryear from what I remember...Always messin with someone.. trying to get an edge..
COPRO We are showing our age a bit guys, just knowing who Anita Bryant is, let alone what she looked like in the mid 70's...lol .
mit12...That is a good question..I think Coors may have been an earlier sponsor than Camel..not sure ..
Good stuff. The first title sponsor was Yamaha, as the series was actually started in 1974 as the "Yamaha Super Series." The term "Supercross" was not coined until 1975, I believe, when an MXA editor named Pete Szyglia or something like that called it that on their magazine cover...
But the first Los Angeles Superbowl of Motocross (1972) had Olympia Beer as a sponsor, I believe.
Jimmy Weinert was really fast, but God only knows why or how. The guy had the worst style of any pro rider. Ran his bars so low they sloped down on the ends and almost touched his tank. People say there are no bad pictures of Marty Smith on a motorcycle, well there are no GOOD pictures of Weinert. lol. But the guy was fast, for sure. Oh, and @COPRO, the first sponsor of Supercross was Olympia Beer for the Superbowl of Motocross. The first series sponsor may have been Camel, or maybe Wrangler Jeans.
RacerX rocks this column! I cant wait for tomorrow to see who is #24. With my short term memory loss I dont have a guess yet! Anticipating 2013 Supercross gives me goosebumps. Go #1 supercrosser!
Guys not sure but i think the first series sponsor was Coors then it went to Wrangler Jeans then Camel.
DC, Thanks for answering our questions... I was a big fan of Pete's, first thing I always read was Bazzer's Box..Didn't he make a brief come back a year or two ago, writing a column
DC If my old memory were better, I would have known that, especially, since you covered that in the July issue. The article on the History of supercross sponsors: Big Hair Blue Jeans Cold Beer & Cigerettes...Think I of all people should have know that ...lol
May not be pretty but the old cover photo (Racer-X ran it not long ago) of THE JAMMER and TONY D is one of the classic Moto pics of all time. What Weinert lacked in style he made up for with bravado. Long live the JAMMER!
mgwest949 totally agree about Weinert looking bad on a bike. Tony DiStefano too, in a different way, though that might have been more his build. As far as Smith, I don't get it. Apparently no one who saw him ride in his prime writes anything in the motocross world. When reading articles about style or smoothness on the bike, or natural talent his name never comes up. It's inexplicable to anyone who saw him ride.
Regarding Weinert's neck brace, from what I remember and have read since that was no psych job. He was hurt and almost didn't ride because of it.
I remember during practice for some National he had a Freon air horn taped to the handlebars. Was there when he came up on a slow guy blocking him and Jimmy blows the horn. Worked 'cause it so startled the guy he stood the bike up and under him goes Weinert.
Rumor has it that had the reputation of something of a track cutter. Was at a vintage pro event a few years ago (Mid-Ohio) and some of his contemporaries were ribbing him about it.Thought he was gonna get mad. Next day I am way in the back of the track and Jimmy has some slower traffic coming into a tight "S" section and... I guess he needed the air horn.
I'm at the Trans-USA at Unadilla and Weinert says to me "Hey kid, go find me a BB gun, I want to shoot down the Dirt Shirts blimp!"
The Jammer's advice to kids wanting to race... "Take tennis lessons, turn pro and make your money there, then go out and buy your dirt bikes and have fun."
"Hey, your friend's sister is pretty hot! A bit of an air-head, but you think she'll go out with me?"
He was too much! What a nut! Thanks for the memories, the SCOTT goggles and JT Mud Guards Jimmy!!!
b747 When I try and go to the Vault from the racer main page it takes me to KX.com ...any one else having this problem?
I remember MR PIBB being the sponsor when I first got totally head over heels hooked on moto-x.
BTW No Jimmy Weinert retrospective would be complete without the paddle tire pic...
Just saying
Being old enough to be around back then you have to suspect my memory..... Did he not win the #1 plate on a Yamaha and was unable to re-sign with them the following season? What I was given to understand was that he had a deal in mind, but Yamaha had no interest having him represent them. Could have been a rumor as I was not "in the room" at the time. I DO know that he had a different "approach" to life back in the day.
Anyone recall the Pyramid thing with Jimmy Weinert?
Jimmy is a funny guy, he was the MC at district 34's Lembo lake supercross (outdoor) back in 1992-93. He was one animated dude with a mic. He mentioned my last name and rhymed it with all kinds of words, LOL.
Ahhhhh...., the Jammer!
There was the fast outside line, the middle line, and the inside line. And the Jammer's line was typically inside of this.

Beautiful Blue
I used these seed beads as the base for the lovely embellished Ladder stitch bracelets that you have on one of your videos. It turned out so pretty and I have enough beads to make another with the same colors as that one was snapped up by my DIL! Love the variety and lovely colors of seed beads. I want them all...

He befriends a French Underground fighter and together they stumble upon a stolen Nazi treasure and uncover a conspiracy at the highest levels on both sides of the conflict. It also brings mortal danger to themselves. The lovely diplomat has lived through her own personal battle during the war years. She now guardedly lets down some inner barriers to reach out to the bands of German children left impoverished by the war. And then the two friends discover their common interest in her.

One of Ibanez's most playable guitars just got a sophisticated new look.
Famous for its lightweight carved mahogany body, the S can take a beating while still providing the resonance of guitars twice its size. The S series also comes equipped with the double-locking ZR tremolo and Zero Point System, a smooth ball bearing tremolo that makes every subtle nuance of whammy bar use come alive. And now the S series' sleek, comfortable mahogany body is now available with a beautiful quilted maple top.

Dear Colleagues,
I'll begin this month's update with a couple of reflections on the recent visit to UMaine by Chancellor Pattenaude, Board of Trustees Chair Wishcamper and board members Medd, Baker and Mitchell. I was proud of our community's response to the opportunity to provide input relative to the University of Maine System's New Challenges, New Directions initiative. Our faculty and students — in particular — effectively communicated important perspectives on UMaine's quality, value and unique role within the System. I was proud of the constructive nature of the comments, and I am convinced, based on feedback from those System officials, that the messages resonated with them as they work toward final approval of an implementation plan later this month. Collectively, and with the help of our Board of Visitors and other advocates, we have effectively made the case for maintaining a strong land grant university even during these difficult circumstances and I am hopeful that the long-term plan will include an appropriate appreciation for the invaluable role that UMaine and its people will play in determining our state's future.
We do find ourselves in challenging and turbulent times, but I remain proud of this university and all that we are accomplishing. Even as we work to make our case with the System, we have a group of faculty members and administrators working to make recommendations relative to UMaine's academic enterprise, specifically in the face of budget challenges that won't be addressed by System reorganization. At the same time, we are looking at all the other aspects of this university with the same goal — planning ways to appropriately deal with the new financial realities while maintaining focus on serving our students and state, both now and in the future. We can not shrink from our responsibilities or be paralyzed by the daunting challenges. There is plenty of evidence that UMaine is continuing — because of its extraordinary faculty and staff — to have a meaningful impact, and I'm pleased to share some examples with you as we begin the month of November.
One highlight of recent weeks was certainly the William S. Cohen Lecture presented by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Oct. 23. Former Secretary of Defense Bill Cohen, who also participated in that event, has done UMaine a great service by donating his papers to Fogler Library, by establishing the William S. Cohen Center for International Policy and Commerce and by creating this lecture series. We had a great turnout for Mr. Holder's interesting lecture and it was certainly nice to be able to once again use the Collins Center for the Arts as the venue. Events like this help UMaine create important connections with the communities around us, and they provide good opportunities for our students.
We were also pleased when Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced that UMaine is one of three universities around the U.S. to receive $8 million for offshore wind power R&D initiatives, further reinforcing UMaine's leadership role in this important field. Prof. Habib Dagher and his colleagues in UMaine's AEWC Advanced Structures and Composites Center, working with Assistant Vice President for Research Jake Ward and others, are at the forefront of this work in a national context. UMaine's prominence was reaffirmed just a couple of days after that grant announcement when Congress approved an additional appropriation for related work here at this university.
Congratulations also go to Prof. George Criner, graduate student Hugh Stevens and others in the UMaine School of Economics on a $1.8 million U.S. Dept. of Commerce grant to create a "Knowledge Transfer Alliance" in Maine. This initiative will create a business assistance network that will have a statewide impact by tapping the expertise of UMaine faculty members, staff members and students. This is an exciting initiative that can make a big difference for businesses, especially those in distress because of current economic conditions.
Along similar lines, UMaine as recently announced as one of the first institutions to receive an international research partnership award intended to link U.S. scientists and engineers with similar professionals in Ireland. The UMaine project involves UMaine School of Marine Science professors Laurie Connell and Rosemary Smith working on a collaborative effort to deal with algal toxins that are causing human health issues in certain coastal regions. Project collaborators are based at Queens University Belfast in Northern Ireland and NOAA in South Carolina.
I was delighted to travel to Belfast (Maine!) early last month, to participate in the celebration of the expanded Hutchinson Center. The new wing, funded by private contributions and money borrowed against future tuition revenues, effectively doubles the useful space at the Hutchinson Center, which has become incredibly important to UMaine and the people of mid-coast Maine during its first few years of existence. The new wing features space for laboratory sciences, art and new media — all of which expand educational opportunities for people who live in the Belfast area and depend on UMaine to provide access to higher education. Congratulations to Hutchinson Center Director Sue McCullough, Division of Lifelong Learning Dean Bob White, Judy Collier from UMaine development and all the others involved in making the Hutchinson Center such a success and bringing the expansion to reality.
Our recent Homecoming Weekend helped reinforce the wonderful asset UMaine has in its loyal alumni population. We renewed many acquaintances during Homecoming, and developed new connections with many more. We've made good progress in recent months in creating more broad-based communications with our alumni population, in an effort to get more alumni engaged with their alma mater. I'm encouraged by the progress and I think that traditional events like Homecoming are critical to keeping alums connected with the university, and I congratulate Todd Saucier, Chris Corro and everybody else in the UMaine Alumni Association for all they do to make events like Homecoming and Reunion meaningful and successful.
Speaking of alumni, I was pleased to note that the UMaine College of Business, Public Policy and Health hosted UMaine graduate Lawrence Bender for its Maine Business School convocation event recently. A 1979 graduate, Lawrence is an Academy Award-winning film producer whose credits include "An Inconvenient Truth," "Good Will Hunting" and "Pulp Fiction." He has only been back to UMaine three times since graduation, but twice in the past few months. We're proud of his accomplishments and we're pleased that he is engaged in our community.
Another prominent UMaine alum, renowned innovator Doug Hall, is spending a lot of time in our community this semester, teaching in the Innovation Engineering program and participating in other activities aimed at fostering and promoting innovation at UMaine and statewide. Doug was the keynote speaker at Fogler Library's recent patent seminar. Several other UMaine staff members and other experts provided patent-related information for an audience of legal professionals, professional patent researchers, inventors and business owners.
I am always proud of the way our community steps up to help address pressing concerns in our society, and I can think of several good examples in recent weeks. UMaine's Safe Campus Project, led by Carey Nason, hosted a successful "Go Purple Day" in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Members of our community wore purple on that day to promote safe and healthy relationships and to offer those who have suffered the impact of abuse. The annual Take Back the Night March was held that night, really focusing attention on these important issues and showing the UMaine community's support. In addition, Residence Life Director Tara Loomis and the entire res life staff worked with students in our residence halls on an extensive series of fun events aimed at raising money and awareness for the Champion for the Cure cancer fundraising and awareness activity. In addition, several members of the UMaine faculty and staff have planted a pink tulip garden in front of Fogler Library, to raise funds for cancer research through the Maine Cancer Foundation. These are all wonderful causes, and we can all be proud that people in the UMaine community work so hard to improve the lives of others.
I would like to note a few more recent achievements and interesting developments involving UMaine faculty and staff members.
Professors Stephen Gilson and Liz DePoy, academics of international stature in their field, have been recognized by the American Legacy Foundation for a project that improves accessibility of Web=based tobacco education resources for rural Mainers. Faculty members in UMaine's Center for Community Inclusion and Disability Studies, Stephen and Liz have created a Tobacco Access Portal, which translates information for people with lower literacy abilities.
History professor Alex Grab presented a recent lecture on a subject with interesting parallels to current circumstances. Alex discussed "The Politics of Smallpox Vaccination Under Napoleon" as part of the history department fall symposium. Given current issues related to the scarcity of H1N1 vaccine, this is an interesting subject and a clear example of the importance of disciplines like history in helping us understand, in the context of the perspecitves those disciplines provide, the world around us.
Incidentally, Alex' history faculty colleague Howard Segal recently received a congratulatory certificate for more than two decades as president of UMaine's Phi Beta Kappa chapter. Phi Beta Kappa is a real point of distinction for UMaine — in this state, the only other chapters are at Bates, Bowdoin and Colby — and Howard provides outstanding leadership to that important group.
The faculty art exhibit is on display at UMaine's Lord Hall Gallery through Nov. 13. I hope you will stop by if you have a chance, to appreciate the great talent that exists within that faculty group. The gallery is open from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays.
UMaine political science professor emeritus Ken Palmer is preparing to give this year's UMaine College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Maine Heritage Lecture on Thursday Nov. 5 at 4:30 in Wells Conference Center. Ken, who's a leading expert on politics in our state, will give a talk on "Maine's Paradoxical Politics."
UMaine's beautiful Student Recreation and Fitness Center continues to draw positive attention for its design and architecture. The 20090 American Institute of Architects Design Awards Program recently recognized that facility with Special Mention for Excellence in Architecture.
The UMaine Dept. of Athletics has prepared some special ticket offers for UMaine faculty and staff members, including $5 tickets for the Nov. 14 football game against URI, $69 basketball season tickets, and $10 tickets to select hockey games (Jan. 2, Jan. 9 and Jan. 23). Contact the ticket office at Alfond Arena or 581-BEAR for more information.
Speaking of athletics, I think that it is always important to recognize that UMaine student-athletes play a significant role in our local communities. The athletics department works hard to foster that kind of engagement, and programs like Male Athletes Against Violence create ways for those UMaine students to use their prominence in our communities to bring important messages to young people. Jayne Dyer, a kindergarten teacher at Fruit Street School in Bangor, recently wrote to me to praise the efforts of football player Eric Lee, who visited her class to read the book "Hands Are Not for Hitting."
"I just wanted you to know what a wonderful job he did," Jayne wrote. "He is a great role model for these younger children and a good ambassador for the University. His presentation was a credit to the program Male Athletes Against Violence. I see a great future for this young man."
That is a wonderful tribute to Eric, and it is just one example of the ways in which these students have a positive influence on youngsters and others at UMaine and in the neighboring communities.
In closing this month's Go Blue! message, I would like to point out how proud I am — once again this year — of all those who work so hard to foster civic engagement in our community and among our students. The UMaine/UVote program is key to these efforts, which are critically important in helping our students, many of whom are newly eligible to vote, appreciate that right and access the kind of information that will make them informed participants in the process. This programming also promotes an appropriate level of mutual respect, where we engage others — whether we agree with their perspectives or not — in a meaningful, civil dialogue as we work to deal with the issues before us. This is a real hallmark of the University of Maine, and it should make us all proud.

Picked up ages ago from Trembling Madness in York and stored in my garage. I reckon Ralph Steadman might have had a few of these before drawing the label... Poured into a Duvel tulip. Bottle conditioned (chunky). A very dark brown that appears ultra-black in the glass. Yields a small head of brown foam that disappears rapidly. Aroma of rich roasted malt with notes of coffee, cocoa, burnt grain, molasses, brown sugar, faint dried fruit, a hint of vanilla and earthy yeast. Slightly sweet, with a warming whiff of booze in the background. Tastes of intense roasted malt and coffee, followed by a powerful bitter finish. Notes of burnt grain, coffee, cocoa, molasses, brown sugar, dried fruit, subtle vanilla and earthy yeast. Rather sweet, with more than a touch of booze in the background. A zealous bitterness upon swallowing, though tempered somewhat by the sweetness. Mouthfeel is smooth, thick and tingly, with light carbonation and good body. Quite astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of coffee, roasted malt, molasses and yeast. Impressive - an avalanche of coffee and roasted malt overwhelms the palate. Looks nice, while the aroma and flavour are all about the coffee. Tastes like it was brewed five minutes ago. Good body; could be slightly creamier but let's not split hairs. A fantastic imperial stout with plenty of character - if you like your beers big and stuffed with coffee then don't pass this up.

Brownish tan/copper head. Smell: Hard to discern. Light sweet cocoa. Taste: Sweet cocoa and light coffee. This is so good. The smell was difficult, but it was freezing outside and the glass of it didn't get a chance to warm. I'll update if I pick out something more. It was a sweet smell though. However, the taste was truly great. It was of sweet cocoa and coffee, with a slight alcoholic bite at the end. Really delicious. It poured like thick oil, and looked it too. I would definitely get this again.

Poured into teku A: black with glistening coffee colored head with decent legs S: toasty burnt chocolate, espresso, sweet caramel T:smooth malt forward with big chocolate notes finished with a sweet espresso. Bit boozy in the aftertaste that is a but aggressive. M: 3.5 would have liked smoother and creamy but I get a medium carb and slight grittiness Overall: 3.5/5 very drinkable with nice smell and taste. A little more age could mellow the booze Serving type: bottle 09-07-2013 00:06:33 | More by alaimoa |
