Beaumont/Port Arthur
UPDATE: This event has been rescheduled to August 12, 2017.
The Port Arthur Public Library's 2017 Summer Reading program will hold a celebration on Aug. 5 at the Port Arthur Yacht Club, located at 401 Pleasure Island Blvd.
Arrest warrants have been issued for three men accused of the theft and destruction of the statue "The Family," a bronze work created by David Cargill that once stood at the Port Arthur Public Library.
Thursday, July 18, at 2 p.m., the O. Henry literary classic "The Ransom of Red Chief" comes to life in this hilarious adaptation by Patricia Barry Rumble. This is the story of two crooks, Bill (Alan Gardiner-Atkinson) and Sam (Brandon Morgan) who plan a get-rich quick scheme to kidnap the very energetic child of a local banker. But they get a lot more — and a lot less — than they bargained for. Their 10-year-old victim, who refers to himself as an Indian named Red Chief (Nicholas Lewis), is barely missed.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Knowledge and awareness are the best defense to prevent fraud. Online shopping is convenient and easy. Most buyers and sellers are honest, but occasionally an unscrupulous person will use the Internet to attract a victim. Don't be a victim!
Return to top
Send and receive payment safely. Consider these tips in order to send or receive payment safely.
Know the vehicle's market value
Be very suspicious of any vehicle priced significantly below market value. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Inspect the vehicle
Have a professional mechanic or inspection service inspect the vehicle to identify problems. However, an inspection doesn't guarantee a vehicle is free from defects or any existing problems.
Confirm contact information
Verify the seller's physical address and phone number BEFORE SENDING PAYMENT. Zip codes, area codes and addresses should match up.
Use email wisely
Do not send personal or financial information (such as your social security number, credit card number or checking account number) to a seller via email. Email communications are not secure.
Do not use money transfer services, such as Western Union to pay for online purchases
Even Western Union recommends against using their service or similar services to pay for online purchases. Be cautious about any seller who will only accept a money transfer.
If using an escrow service for payment, make sure it is a reputable, valid escrow service
Some buyers, purchasing outside their local area, may consider using an escrow service. If so, make sure it is a legitimate service. Go directly to the website of the escrow service. Do NOT go to an escrow service through a link in the seller's e-mail or use a service based on a referral from the seller. Check the web address to make sure you are at the valid website.
Get a detailed receipt
Ask the seller for a receipt that states whether the vehicle is being sold with a warranty or "as is."
Get title to the vehicle
Make sure you know what's required in your state to transfer title to the vehicle you're buying.
Be wary of buyers willing to purchase your item sight-unseen, especially buyers located overseas. Always verify the buyer's street address and valid phone number.
Verify that a certified check is genuine
Verify authenticity with the issuing bank prior to depositing a certified check. Make sure the account contains sufficient funds and the issuing bank guarantees payment on the check. Once deposited in your account, it may take a week or more for the check to clear. Acceptance by your bank does not guarantee the check is valid and funds are available. A cashier's check can take 30 days or more to clear.
Secure payment first
Do not transfer the title until you have payment in hand at the agreed upon price (and you have verified that the payment is valid.
Beware of overpayment or other complicated payment schemes
Do not agree to any plan where the buyer asks to send a check for more than the sale price and requests that the seller refund the difference. Be suspicious of any buyer who proposes making payment through a friend or agent of the buyer.

A requirement of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act requires New Jersey public school districts to post results of local teacher evaluations online. State statute 18A:27-3.1 speaks to state regulations regarding teacher evaluations and the Midland Park Board of Education recognizes the importance of implementing a program for the evaluation of non-tenured and tenured teaching staff members in accordance with law. Further, the federal No Child Left behind (NCLB) law requires districts to determine if its teachers are "Highly Qualified" to teach based on specific requirements for content areas and grade levels. According to the district's most recent records, all teachers are highly qualified to teach in their assignment.
Midland Park's Board of Education policies and regulations identify the evaluation criteria used in our district and these protocols frame the evaluation process for certificated staff members, both tenured and non-tenured and are available on our website. It is important to recognize the teacher and administrative evaluation process does not conclude with the production of the evaluation document. We are committed to using all available data stores to guide our efforts to insure sustained school improvement and will remain vigilant in seeking to identify ways to improve upon successes and address identified challenges. In Midland Park, we are proud of our teachers, administrators, and support staff and grateful for their efforts on behalf of our students and school communities.
Number of Teachers in School
Number of Teachers in School Meeting District Criteria for acceptable performance
Percent of Teachers in School meeting these Criteria

The Midland Park School District as part of a strong, dedicated community, provides its students with a comprehensive, adaptive education aligned to 21st century knowledge and skills needed for success in college and career. The district maximizes all resources to empower students to realize their individual worth and responsibility, with the expectation they achieve the New Jersey state standards at all grade levels.

CHICAGO – The Detroit Red Wings left the Blackhawks on the brink of elimination.
Four hundred miles away, the Minnesota Wild helped return the Hawks to solid ground.
The Hawks sneaked into the playoffs Sunday in one of the strangest season finales in recent memory. They clinched the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference despite a 4-3 loss to the Wings because the Wild knocked off the Dallas Stars, 5-3, about five hours later.
A win by the Stars would have ended the Hawks' season.
"I think my phone is just about ready to die here," Hawks forward Patrick Sharp told the NHL Network shortly after the Wild's improbable win. "I was texting all of my teammates and living and dying with every play. We're really thankful that we're going [to the playoffs]."
Instead of heading home, the Hawks will head north to face the top-seeded Vancouver Canucks. The teams will kick off a best-of-seven series at 9 p.m. Wednesday.
The Hawks, who went 2-2-0 this season against the Canucks, are no strangers to playoff hockey in Rogers Arena. They knocked the Canucks out of the playoffs in each of the past two seasons and to create one of the league's newest and nastiest rivalries.
"Certainly, we got lucky," Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said Sunday night after his team qualified for the postseason. "The thing is, let's take advantage of getting lucky."
For a while, it didn't look as if the Hawks would get another crack at Vancouver.
The Hawks could have finished as high as the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference with a win against the Wings, but they stumbled in front of a raucous sellout crowd of 22,046 fans.
In a scene that was far too familiar this season, the Hawks grabbed a lead only to let it slip away. Wings forwards Tomas Holmstrom and Pavel Datsyuk scored on back-to-back shots in the second period to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead and to stun a packed crowd.
At 1:56 of the third period, the Wings extended their lead to 3-1. Wings forward Drew Miller punched the puck across the goal line after the Hawks lost a battle near the boards.
Hawks defenseman Duncan Keith said it was tough to explain the game's momentum swings.
"I thought we had control of the game," Keith said. "We had a good first period and were up, 1-0. It was just some broken plays. We can't make those."
The Hawks assumed the Stars would beat the Wild, who were eliminated from playoff contention weeks ago. That belief added intensity to what already was a tense finish at the United Center in which both teams traded goals in the third period.
Hawks defenseman Brent Seabrook trimmed the Wings' lead to 3-2 at the 4:07 mark of the third, but Wings forward Dan Cleary responded with a goal almost four minutes later.
A goal by Hawks defenseman Duncan Keith with 8:38 remaining sliced the Wings' lead to 4-3.
The Hawks had several quality chances to tie the score, especially during a two-minute power play with 2:58 remaining.
Ultimately, Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard withstood the final fury.
"We didn't do our job," Hawks winger Patrick Kane said. "That's what it came down to."
The Hawks' heartbreak turned to hope when the Wild scored a go-ahead goal against the Stars with 13:13 remaining. Hope gave way to relief as the Wild held on for a one-goal win.
Next will come the homework. The Canucks led the NHL with 54 wins and 117 points this season.
Quenneville said he expected a jubilant group of Hawks when they gathered today for a flight to Vancouver. His goal was to channel that excitement into momentum on the ice.
"Anything can happen this year," Quenneville said. "Everybody's close. All the teams are basically comparably even. Let's go find out."

A portable TV in this day and age? RCA's 3.5" DHT235C Portable LED TV

Tim Lincecum throws his first no-hitter as Giants blank the PadresBy Alex Pavlovic
San Jose Mercury News
July 14. 2013 1:24AM
SAN DIEGO -- Tim Lincecum has two Cy Young Awards and two World Series titles, but he has never been better than he was Saturday night.
Lincecum threw his first career no-hitter at Petco Park, striking out 13 San Diego Padres in a 9-0 victory.
The no-hitter was the third in the last five seasons for the Giants, who were no-hit by Cincinnati's Homer Bailey earlier this month.
Lincecum threw 148 pitches, 10 more than his previous career-high.
The no-hitter was the 15th in franchise history. Jonathan Sanchez threw a no-hitter against the Padres on July 10, 2009 and Matt Cain pitched a perfect game against the Houston Astros last June 13.
Lincecum has struggled for a year and a half, but he joined the no-hitter club on Saturday night. Lincecum had been showing flashes of his old self in his last seven starts and struck out 11 against the New York Mets on Monday.
He started to dominate in the second inning Saturday, striking out Will Venable and Rene Rivera on six pitches. That started a streak of six straight strikeouts on just 21 pitches.
Lincecum retired 12 straight before Everth Cabrera drew a one-out walk in the sixth. Lincecum entered the inning with 98 pitches, and when he walked Chase Headley with two outs, manager Bruce Bochy got his bullpen going. That didn't last long, as Lincecum got a lineout to short to get out of the jam.
He struck out Yonder Alonso to open the seventh and then got Jedd Gyorko to fly out to leftfield. With two outs, Venable hit a screamer down the third-base line that Pablo Sandoval corralled before making a strong throw to first.
Lincecum headed back to the bench at 114 pitches, 24 short of his career-high.
Lincecum had twice before taken a no-hitter into the seventh but had never gotten through the inning.
Lincecum is known for his rubber arm, but Bochy was taking no chances.
The bullpen got going again when Lincecum took the mound in the eighth, but he got his pitch count under control with a three-pitch strikeout of Rene Rivera and a two-pitch groundout by Chris Denorfia. Lincecum walked Cabrera and then went to a 2-2 count on Alexi Amarista. The center fielder lined Lincecum's 131st pitch of the night into right field, but Hunter Pence channeled his inner Gregor Blanco and saved the no-hitter with a diving catch.
As he walked backward toward the dugout, Lincecum held up a fist and gave Pence an appreciative look.
Lincecum struck out Headley to open the ninth and Carlos Quentin hit his 142nd pitch to Blanco in deep left.
Alonso hit the final pitch of the night to left, setting off a raucous celebration on the mound.

This time of year, as the sun sets earlier and earlier and the cold settles in, there is a growing feeling of hopelessness.
Will the thanks be kept in Thanksgiving, or will the day our ancestors set aside for eating turkey and watching football become just another shopping day in the long march toward Christmas?
In Massachusetts, Blue Laws prohibit stores from opening on Thanksgiving. For several years now, there has been a lot of agitation about extending Black Friday into Thanksgiving, an act seen by many in Massachusetts as a direct assault on the Puritan religion. Others see it as a natural evolution of holiday shopping, which now begins Jan. 1 of every year and continues until Jan. 1 of the next year. In Massachusetts, the exception is Thanksgiving.
Black Friday originally was the day the stock market plummeted amid gold speculation in 1869. Modern Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, always a Friday. It is a day set aside for people to lose their minds while rushing out to shop for incredible bargains mostly advertised by chain stores. It is a day marked by mayhem, sleep deprivation and shopping cart collisions, all in the pursuit of things such as Furbys.
Now businesses, and some people, want to extend all that fun into Thanksgiving, literally telling people who enjoy Turkey Day to stuff it.
Counting today, there are still 13 shopping days until Thanksgiving, but the noise is getting louder for Massachusetts to ditch its Blue Laws.
I am trying to be reasonable about this, but I've shopped on Black Friday. It is difficult to be open-minded when you bear the scars of that experience.
I've been there. It scares me to think that some day, people in the Bay State will be allowed to drive their shopping carts around crowded stores after consuming large quantities of turkey, turnips and mince pie.
For me, Black Friday will always be known as Furby Day, because many years ago I went out before Black Friday dawn in the freezing cold, searching for a Furby for my daughter.
A Furby is a robotic creature that looks like a cross between a rodent and an owl. It has eyes that open and shut, and it talks. At one time it was more important to humankind than the ozone layer.
In 1998, the year Furbys were introduced to the American public, I decided I would get one, even if I had to stand in line for many hours in the freezing cold with hundreds of other adults who, annoyingly, wanted the same thing.
I will spare you the full story, but after waiting in the cold for many hours at two different stores, I bagged my prize.
The glory of getting the Furby lasted until Christmas morning, when I learned that someone else in the family also had bought one of the creatures for my daughter, and it was a better color. My daughter is often polite and made appreciative noises about both, but I knew what she was thinking, "Dad? Really? A white Furby?"
In the end it was OK because both toys turned out to be extremely annoying. In my daughter's case, two times annoying. They are cute � but not four hours in line in the freezing cold � cute. They were supposed to learn English, but only seemed to want to say, "Dah do!" and make other weird noises.
They were also creepy, often turning on in the middle of the night, opening their eyes and staring at my daughter and hungrily eyeing my daughter's stuffed animals.
The Furby was only one of many toys over-hyped for Black Friday sales. Each year retailers dream up new items shoppers must have and will go way out of their way to buy. Each year the retailers push to change the Blue Laws in Massachusetts to allow Christmas shopping on Thanksgiving. But so far, at least in Massachusetts, we want to keep the fur flying out of stores on Furby Day and not on Thanksgiving.

Medical examiner's findings refute defense theory in negligent homicideJAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
March 27. 2013 8:55PM
BRENTWOOD - The state's deputy chief medical examiner testified that injuries on the body of 17-year-old Korey Traficante show he was not the driver in a single-vehicle crash that took his life, and led to the prosecution of his friend.
Dr. Jennie Duval was quizzed about her findings by prosecutors and defense lawyers on Wednesday during the third day of Cameron Dearborn's negligent homicide trial in Rockingham County Superior Court. Dearborn, 19, of Danville faces two counts of negligent homicide.
Duval's testimony ran counter to the defense's theory that Traficante was driving a friend's 1998 Saturn with Dearborn in the passenger's seat when the vehicle crashed off of Frost Road in Derry on the night of Nov. 20, 2010. The vehicle landed on its passenger side and struck a tree and rock wall during the crash, according to court testimony.
Duval, called as a state witness, told the jury that her findings were made following an autopsy that was independent of a Derry police investigation. "From the outset it was believed Korey was a passenger, but it fit with my examination of the body," Duval testified.
Under questioning by the defense, Duval acknowledged that she couldn't determine which exact seat Traficante was traveling in, but she concluded he was on the right side of the car at the time of the crash.
Prosecutors called Duval as their final witness and rested its case on Wednesday afternoon. The defense is expected to call its own expert on the crash, who will suggest that Dearborn's injuries prove that he was a passenger in the car, not the driver.
Judge N. William Delker told jurors that they could expect to begin deliberating by Thursday afternoon. After the jury was dismissed for the day, Delker rejected the defense's bid for a directed verdict in the case - arguing that the judge should determine Dearborn is not guilty in the case. Delker said there was enough direct and circumstantial evidence in the case for the jury to reach a decision on its own.

Russell Brand is Spilling That Tea, Calls Katy Perry a Pain in the Ass.
RUSSELL Brand has revealed Katy Perry was a pain in the ass during their short-lived marriage.
The British comedian — who recently finalized his divorce from the singer — shocked a live audience during the filming of his American show by saying Perry gave him "ass-ache".
The 37-year-old star was at Solar Studios in Los Angeles on Sunday filming this week's installment of his chat show BrandX for network FX.
While he refused to go into depth about his legal union to the 27-year-old singer after they announced their split in December, he had now admitted that she was irritating.
"Russell was bantering with the audience, in particular a couple called Curtis and Katy," a source said.
"He got onto the subject of their sex life. Katy was giving as good as she got.
"Then, all of a sudden Russell shouted: 'Anyway, enough of you. I've had enough ass-ache from people called Katy in the last year.'
"It was obvious he meant Katy Perry. The whole room gasped. I think it took a couple of seconds for what he'd said to sink in.
"He then laughed and shouted: 'Oh no, there might be a journalist in the room.' He shrugged his shoulders and murmured: 'Oh well,' before moving onto his next subject."
Katy recently blamed Russell for the breakdown of their marriage, as he didn't come and see during her enough while she was on her California Dreams Tour.
When asked if Russell's absence was the catalyst for the break-up, Katy replied, "Yes, if I could edit it any other way I would but that is exactly what it was.
"I always had plans to make this record ('Teenage Dream') and usually with a record, you tour.
"Touring is always important to me. It's like a big IOU to my fans, because I know they are the reason I exist."

Four on Hampton jetty knocked into ocean by wave
May 02. 2013 3:33PM
HAMPTON - Four people walking on the jetty at the Hampton State Park were knocked into the ocean by a large wave, with one person rescued by a passing boater and another carried back to land by rescue crews.
Hampton Police said the incident happened Wednesday about 5:20 p.m., when police got a call for a report of a person in the water.
When they arrived at the park, police found a person on the beach near the jetty and another two people who were near the end of the jetty in the water between rocks at a breach in the jetty.
Rescue crews helped the two back up the rocks onto the top of the jetty, with one person having to be carried the length of the jetty due to hypothermia.
That person was taken to Exeter Hospital, according to a release from Hampton Police.
After police dealt with those three, they learned that a fourth person was recovered from the water by a boater and brought to the state pier for evaluation by Hampton firefighters.
Police did not identify the four in the press release issued about the incident.

Forum Sevens: The Truth Behind A
Was it the possibility of a New South Welshman rivalling Allan Langer as the premier halfback in Rugby League?
Was it because he steered Newcastle to an upset win over Manly in the 1997 Grand Final?
Or was it because he did so with a punctured lung?
Most likely it was a combination of all 3 things, but regardless of how or when it occurred, the Rugby League media fell in love with Andrew Johns. Then, as is often the case, the community caught jumped onto the Andrew Johns bandwagon and Joey became untouchable. He was faultless. He could do no wrong. There was no such thing as luck, everything was intentional and he was called a genius.
By far and away the most powerful influence in Rugby League is the media. The day that the media fell in love with Andrew Johns is the day that Andrew Johns became what he is today ? allegedly the world?s best player. While I do not doubt the abilities of Andrew Johns, he is what he is because of the way he is portrayed in the newspapers, the way commentators talk about him during matches, and the way that the majority of the community is influenced by a select few.
If you continually hear something often enough, you will start to believe it. That is what has happened with the Rugby League community. For years, the Newcastle Knights could not be mentioned without the name Andrew Johns being present. Should someone go and claim that Andrew Johns has been out of form ? like Phil Gould did earlier this season ? the backlash is incredible. Whether Joey wants to just cop it on the chin and get on with things is not in his hands. His coach, team mates, fellow players and most importantly of all, the News Limited enterprise, get behind the Newcastle number 7 and lift him up above all others as they have so often done. For Joey to have a bad game is just unacceptable by their standards.
Television viewers could barely go a month during the season without at least 1 Newcastle match being shown. The commentators of those games love nothing more than excitement, and they are most excited when a try is scored. Over the years, it has seemed that no matter who scores the try for Newcastle, or how it is scored, it has been set up by Andrew Johns. Even if Joey touched the ball once in the entire set, it was that pass or that run that gets credit for the lead up to a try. The amount of times he has been credited by commentators for try assists and the amount of try assists that the statisticians credit him are so far apart you could fit a semi-trailer through the hole.
Even when he was arguably the worst player in the City/Country match this year where he put in numerous kicks that were way too long, straight to players, or in one case, backwards, he was criticised sparingly. The result of this mass-media campaign to relieve Andrew Johns of all scrutiny has had one horrible effect on the Knights. That was until now. Everyone has believed the Knights could not win without Andrew Johns because that is the way the team has forever been portrayed, yet given time, the real stars of Newcastle were able to prove themselves with top class defeats over quality opposition and against the odds this year. They have proved that Andrew Johns is not the driving force behind Newcastle and that Newcastle is not a one-man band. If Joey was all that he was talked up to be, as much as we were made to believe that he is, then surely there is no way that the Knights could have gotten where the were this season despite missing him for almost a quarter of the season all up.
Yes, he is a great player, but he is not the best. The legend behind Andrew Johns is built on the naivety of the media. The naivety that Johns is untouchable and faultless. The media, blinded by their love for Joey, has become the most influential player in the League community.

Industry officials continue to balk at Gov. John Kasich's proposal to increase taxes on oil and gas production, tapping into eastern Ohio's shale energy production as a means to cut income tax rates.
Tom Stewart, executive vice president of the Ohio Oil and Gas Association, recently reiterated his group's position, saying energy companies should be allowed to continue their expansion without fear of a tax hike.
"We agree with the governor that everybody ought to benefit from the economic activity," Stewart said. "This is the best opportunity Ohio's had in nearly 25 years. ... The tax base is growing and growing exponentially where this activity is taking place."
He added, "That is our viewpoint on what the benefit is to the state of Ohio, and that's why we remain opposed to putting special taxation on one industry."
Stewart made the comments during an oil and gas lobby day at the Statehouse, where industry officials touted the economic benefits of horizontal hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
The event included a luncheon for lawmakers that was high on talk of the positive economic impact but low on debate about Kasich's severance tax plan.
"We're in this together, we're going to do this in a civil manner ... I'm looking forward to the debate that I know is coming up," said Joel Rudicil, president of the Ohio Oil and Gas Association, in one of the only references to the coming legislative deliberations over the tax issue. "We're not here to talk about some of those issues today, but we look forward to engaging in the debate."
Kasich will include his severance tax proposal as part of a larger tax reform package to be introduced in coming weeks. He has said repeatedly that the state's oil and gas taxes are too low, that the rates he is proposing would be lower than other states and that energy company officials have told him privately that they expect the tax to increase.
But industry officials also have responded repeatedly that increasing the severance tax could prompt energy companies to invest in other states.
On Wednesday, Stewart also cited the state's lower natural gas rates and the need for energy companies to be able to increase investments in the industry among reasons for opposing an increase in the severance tax.
"If you want to see this play develop, what you want these producers to do ... is to take their net revenues and plow it back into the ground, just the same way that a farmer takes his net revenues and plants his field," Stewart said. "You want these producers to take the money they make plus more and put it back in the ground to make this economic opportunity expand."

RICOH's special stories to present a new value beneficial to the world.
Disasters caused by climate change. Depleted coal and mineral resources. These are just two of the many reasons behind today's increasingly urgent sense of alarm about the global environment. As a society, we need to leave behind outdated paradigms like mass-production and mass-consumption. We need to find a way to become a sustainable society that takes care to minimize its impact on the environment.
The way Ricoh sees it, to make real headway in solving environmental problems, we need to adopt a long-term perspective, and take methodical action. That's why we set out our own long-term vision. We believe that, by 2050, the advanced nations need to reduce their environmental impact to one-eighth of current levels.
To that end, Ricoh has become the world's first company to set long-term, quantifiable goals in three key areas, forging ahead with a range of initiatives on that basis. The first key area is conserving energy and preventing global warming by, among other things, reducing CO2 emissions. The second is resource conservation and recycling, and the third is pollution prevention.
One of these initiatives concerns our digital MFPs. We're steadily reducing their environmental impact, over the entire life-cycle of the product. It starts with the product planning stage, and continues through procurement of raw materials and components, followed by design and development, then manufacturing and logistics. It even continues through the product's utilization by the customer, and its eventual disposal, collection and recycling. Naturally, all Ricoh Group employees are involved in this initiative. So are our suppliers and other business partners. So are the customers who use our products. In fact, we're joining forces with people all over the world. We're all in this together.
Resources are limited and need to be conserved, so it makes sense to recycle. If recycling uses lots of energy, however, it defeats its own purpose. That's why Ricoh thinks ahead, ensuring that recycling can be done efficiently by building it into the manufacturing process, right from the product planning and design stage. We make our products strong enough to withstand multiple cycles of use. We design them in such a way that they can be easily dismantled and sorted into separate materials. We plan things so the same parts can be used in different models. This is how we manage to recycle our products efficiently, and save energy at the same time.
Ricoh also focuses on developing recycling technologies designed to minimize environmental impact. One of these is "dry washing", whereby parts are cleaned by blasting them at high pressure with thin sheets of resin film. Because the parts need no drying afterwards, and because there is no wastewater to be processed, this technology delivers big energy-savings.
In these and other ways, Ricoh has now been proactive in recycling for many years. We launched our first recycled MFP back in 1997. Since then, we've expanded our recycling to the point where, in Japan, over 80% of our MFP parts are re-used. We've also extended our line-up of recycled MFPs offering new-product quality: the range now includes a wide variety of black-and-white and full-color models. Meanwhile, through ongoing efforts in R&D, we continue to develop technologies enabling used parts to serve again in several new generations of products.
At Ricoh, we want to be part of a society that recycles its resources, minimizing energy consumption and environmental impact. We started by changing the way we work at our own offices. Thanks to optimal deployment of MFPs, paperless working practices, utilizing energy-saving functions, and other measures, we're now reducing our environmental impact and our costs, while improving our productivity.
We're also helping others to do the same. Naturally, we're proactive in passing on hints and tips about eco-friendly working practices to our customers, and providing eco-friendly products. We even help our customers use our products to make their workflow more efficient.
But we want to expand eco-awareness even farther and wider. Every year, on World Environment Day ? launched in 1972 by the United Nations ? we hold an event we call "Ricoh Global Eco Action". On June 5, to raise awareness of environmental issues, we switch off all our illuminated signage, and take other practical eco-friendly measures, such as bicycling to work and using the stairs instead of the elevator. Striking a chord with the general public, our initiative has rippled outwards into large-scale eco-action around the world.
In New York's Times Square, the 100% solar-powered Ricoh Eco Billboard is a message in and of itself. Signaling Ricoh's commitment to globalizing eco-awareness, this eco-friendly billboard glows brightly today and every day.

With all of the changes made this year for golfers aspiring to obtain PGA TOUR cards for the 2014 season, 38 year old, Duncan, S.C. resident Matt Bettencourt was successful in obtaining one of these prized possessions in August.
Bettencourt secured his PGA Tourcard for 2014 last month despite losing at the Web.com's Cox Classic tournament in Omaha, NE, on the third playoff hole.
"It is always tough losing a playoff. This is the second time I have lost in a playoff on the Web.com tour. Fortunately, both times losing in a playoff, I secured by PGA Tourcard for the following year. It was a nice prize to get my tour card back for 2014," said Bettencourt.
During the 2013 season, Bettencourt played in nine PGA Tour events, via Monday qualifying and sponsor exemptions, and 15 Web.com events.
This path might seem unconventional to most, but is fairly typical for the golfers that are not among the coveted top-125 money winners list. One of Bettencourt's strangest week was in July when he traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah, for a Web.com event in Sandy, Utah,and found out that he had gotten into the John Deere Classic in Silva, Ill.
"The John Deere was interesting this year. I found out I was in the tournament when I arrived in Salt Lake on Wednesday. I gathered my luggage and went to the ticket counter to buy a flight to Chicago. My caddie and I got to the hotel room around 11 p.m. on Wednesday evening. I have played the tournament five times in the past, so I knew the course really well. It is one of my favorites on tour. It helped knowing where the pin locations were from past years. I think I was just playing on adrenaline," said Bettencourt.
The adrenaline led Bettencourt to shoot an opening round 65, one shot off of the lead, behind Zach Johnson and Camilo Villegas.
The 65 at the John Deere Classic, was not Bettencourt's best round of the season. That honor belongs to the 64 he shot on his second round at the HP Byron Nelson Championship, to make the cut.
"The back nine on Friday at the Nelson tournament was the best stretch of golf I have played as a professional. I birdied the last 6 holes on a really tough course," said Bettencourt.
Things turned around for Bettencourt in late July, where he shot 20-under-par to finish tied for sixth at the Albertsons Boise Open and narrowly missing a playoff, shooting 15-under-par at the News Sentinel Open in Knoxville, Tenn.
"Golf is an up and down game. You just have to capitalize when you are playing well. A few good weeks is all it takes. For me, it's about making putts," said Bettencourt.
After a long year, and logging thousands of travel miles, Bettencourt will spend the offseason, "stretching and resting", as well as "working on my short game, wedges, putting and shots around the green."
Fairways and greens my friend – and make a lot of birdies next year Matt.
Tee Time: Duncan's Bettencourt secures PGA card

Schaeffer Foundation president to speak at WBU chapel
PLAINVIEW – The Office of Church Service at Wayland Baptist University will host Udo Middelmann for a time of discussion and dialogue on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Middelmann is the president of the Francis A. Schaeffer Foundation in New York. The foundation was founded by Dr. Francis A Schaeffer, an author and theologian, who is recognized as one of the most influential Christian thinkers of the day.
Middelmann, who has served as the consultant and principle speaker on "Ethics for a Civil Society" for the Russian Ministry for Education since 1991, speaks to groups on topics dealing with how religion impacts everyday life. In his sessions Middelmann doesn't lecture so much as answer questions and discuss issues taken from those in attendance.
A round table discussion with Middelmann will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday in room 211 of the Wayland University Center. The discussion is open to the community. On Wednesday morning, ministers are invited to attend a breakfast and forum with Middelmann at 7:30 a.m. in the Wayland cafeteria. The breakfast is sponsored by the Office of Church Services.
Middelmann will speak at Wayland's chapel service at 11 a.m. on Wednesday and at the university ministerial fellowship meeting at noon in UC 211.

S90 devices: (Control Key = OK, pressed simultaneously with other keys to activate the mode changes in SDL)
* OK+1 = change Input Mode: Joystick | Cursor
* OK+2 = change Video Mode: Upscaled | Normal
What are these Joystick, Keyboard and Cursor modes anyway?
Joystick mode sends SDL joystick events to ScummVM which acts as a mouse control in ScummVM. Cursor mode sends keyboard arrows instead, so for example it can be used to navigate through directorylist (one hand use perhaps!?) or save games etc. Keyboard mode is only available for S60 and enables multi-tap to enter text characters in save dialogs. These modes are implemented at the underlying SDL level, so this determines the types of events that ScummVM receives from SDL.
What are these Shrinked, Zoomed and Upscaled modes anyway?
Shrink displays the game on your screen but in a shrinked way, either in Portrait or Landscape mode, so not all the pixels can be seen. Zoom mode uses the maximum resolution of your phone displaying a smaller part of the game zoomed at 1:1 pixels. For scrolling in S60 Zoom mode: 0+Cursor keys to scroll around, 0+Ok button to center view. Upscale tries to fill the larger screens on S80/S90 devices in a better way for low resolution games. Currently it uses a pixel interpolation upscaling routine.
You can also use a bluetooth mouse with S60v3 devices to control your game. You need the bluetooth hid library from Hinkka http://koti.mbnet.fi/hinkka/Download.html to get it to work properly.Last edited by Anotherguest on Wed Jan 27, 2010 7:46 am; edited 1 time in total
Here's a more user-friendly guide for Nokia phones (based on N96 but should apply to most phones)
Left Soft Key - Left Click
Right Soft Key - Right Click
Navigation buttons - Move pointer on screen
"C" or "Delete Key" - Space Bar (i.e. skip dialogue/cutscene)
* - Bring up Menu (to Save, Load and change the game's options e.g.
enable subtitles, speech etc. Varies from game to game)
Call Button - Enter/Exit Configuration Mode
Configuration Mode, when activated, shows the word "CTRL" in green in
the upper right corner of the screen. It allows to quickly switch
between various functions of ScummVM. The following buttons on your
keypad are activated when "CTRL" is displayed-
1 - Change Input.
This is the option you'll probably use the most. There are three
settings; A,C and J.
A - This is the "Text Input" mode. It allows you to type directly into
ScummVM as if you were using a keyboard. Type the same way you would
when sending a text message off of your phone. Please note that the
pointer is disabled when in this mode. Don't forget to exit
Configuration Mode before typing!
C - This is the "Cursor" mode. This emulates the arrow keys of the
keyboard. Some games require using this instead of the mouse (e.g. the
destruction derby section towards the end of Full Throttle).
J - This is the "Joystick/Mouse" mode. Simply put, it allows you to
use the navigation buttons to move the pointer around the screen. The
left and right mouse buttons are used by the left and right Soft keys.
The "C" button emulates the space bar, i.e. skip line of dialogue,
skip cutscene or pause game (depending on the game, some games simply
use the left mouse button to skip dialogue in which case it will pause
the game instead)
2 - Toggle Landscape and Portrait
Switches the screen ouput between having the phone held normally
(Portrait) or on its side (Landscape). You'll probably never take it
off Landscape mode as it offers the better display area.
3 - Change Landscape Orientation
Only applies to Landscape mode, simply swaps the screen output between
having the phone tilted on its left side or on its right side.
4 - Toggle Zoom On and Off
Zooms in on a portion of the screen. Handy for when you are looking
through a screen for items or having trouble reading subtitles. Use
the navigation buttons for panning around the play area. Don't forget
you'll have to exit out of Configuration Mode before you can move the
pointer again. Exiting Configuration Mode does not reset the zoom
5 & 6 - Unused
7 - "Text Input" mode. Shortcut for entering "Text Input" mode
directly instead of cycling through the other input types using the
"1" key.
8 - "Cursor" mode. Shortcut for entering "Cursor" mode directly
instead of cycling through the other input types using the "1" key.
9 - "Joystick/Mouse" mode. Shortcut for entering "Joystick/Mouse" mode
directly instead of cycling through the other input types using the
"1" key.
0 & * - Unused (The "*" Menu is disabled in Configuration Mode")
Up Navigation Button - Increase ScummVM sound volume. Note that the
game itself may have its own independent sound settings (usually found
under the * menu)
Down Navigation Button - Decrease ScummVM sound volume. Note that the
game itself may have its own independent sound settings (usually found
under the * menu)
ScummVM keys on Nokia e71 (most likely on any other qwerty-device, too), tested on version 0.14.0svn (feb 18 2009 05:56:07). Number keys are inserted by first pressing fn-key (leftmost key at bottom row on E71) and then pressing correct key (e.g. 5 is fn+g). You don't have to press both keys simultaneously.
Basic keys:
Joystick -- Move cursor (in joystick mode) / arrow keys (in keyboard / cursor mode)
Joystick button -- Skip text
Left soft key -- Left mouse button
Right soft key -- Right mouse button (context sensitive actions in LucasArts' games, something else in others)
Backspace -- Esc / Skips demos / Removes selected action
* (fn+u) -- Menu
Space -- Pause
Enter -- Enter (usually same as left soft key)
In main menu:
Shift -- Shift (can be used to mass-add games)
You can press the first letter of the game name to jump there in the games list.
To use these, first click on green answer key once, so that text CTRL shows up in the northwest corner of the screen, then click the key.
p / 2 -- Screen orientation
s / 5 -- Screen size
k / 7 -- Input mode: keyboard
c / 8 -- Input mode: cursor
j / 9 -- Input mode: joystick
joystick up -- Volume up
joystick down -- Volume down
1 -- Toggle input mode
Game specific:
Most games have some specific keys (the same as in desktop model of ScummVM?). For instance in Day of the Tentacle:
w -- Walk to
l -- Look at
p -- Pick up
c -- Close
o -- Open
g -- Give
t -- Talk to
s -- Push
y -- Pull
and in Full Throttle (from the top of my head):
k -- kick (foot)
t -- talk (mouth)
l -- look (eyes)
p -- punch (hand)
AGI games (King's Quest, Police Quest etc.):
The games work beautifully on the E71, but there's some stupid bugs (in input). I recall finding some debug keys and "last sentence" / "inventory" -keys in earlier version, but I can't find them any more. Also you can't turn on sirens in Police Quest, which kinda makes it unplayable.
There's good side and bad side to each input mode:
Keyboard (I use this primarily)
* goes to menu
+ you can erase text
+ moving is relatively easy
- you can't type in UPPER CASE
- you can't type numbers
- worthless 'current key' -display on left top corner
Joystick / Cursor:
+ you can access menus
+ you can type numbers (just make sure f-letter in left top corner is red before clicking "numbers". It works kinda funnily, but you'll get hang of it.)
- you move mouse cursor which makes walking harder (joystick mode)
- you can't erase text
There might be some mistakes and some keys missing from the list, feel free to pm me corrections / suggestions.
I just started using the emulator on my Full Throttle game. Emulator works like a charm on my N79 and everything runs perfectly except... well I cant access the inventory in this game. I do remember once I got the bike keys I was able to open the inventory somehow, but after that no matter what I did I couldn't manage to open it again. I got the picklock in the game now and I cant advance any further without picking it from inventory and use it on a lock.
The action in the game to open the inventory is right mouse button. I think before it was right soft key as default, but it's not working now. I also went into options and assigned the right soft key as right mouse button and it also didn't work. After that I though I messed something up in key menu so I deinstalled the emulator, but cant get to the inventory again.
EDIT:I binded it to key 6 and it works now, but it's still silly that right softkey aint working.
sounds good to me
Ehi, are Nokia e72 keys quite different from e71's?
May anyone map them? Tnx!
May I suggest a few things?
Could you get the right click by holding the finger on the spot?
if this is not possible, could the mouse button toggle only between right and left (without no-button mode)? it would be much faster (why is there a no-button mode, anyway?)
Could you add the menu button "*" to the narrow column of buttons?
quote: Originally posted by MatakuWell, seeing as ALL phones (i think) have some sort of physical volume buttons on them, can't you assign these buttons to set the volume on scummvm as well? ...this would be great too

Flipping tap should be easy as 1.2.3 to implement. jus make */- -/* -/- and </> mode
ok.. left right left right should be implemented soon. And please try the latest test.. CTRL and then * in touch mode.

I have a Nokia E55 and i cannot use SCUMMVM.
i tried the hint for Nokia E71 but they did not work.
any suggestion??
i'm using scummvm-100923-SymbianS60v3_all.sis on my nokia 5530xm. whenever i put the control mode on "--", when i tap the RGT key, it presses itself one more time when i tap the screen all the time. so i have to use the big CUR virtual pad (which works ok) on some games which immediately halves the screen on landscape. Also, it seems that when i use CTL, virtual joystick is no longer available, the vk just flickers when i tap NUM/CUR while in CTRL mode, always showing just the numpad (no direction keys) whether it's on NUM or CUR mode.
CTL mode is only for adjust SDL properties, i.e Screen orientation(2,3), Scaling (4 for upscale, 5 for nice or fast, 6 for aspect), and input modes. Once selected you should tap CTL again to disable and return to normal control mode.
yeah, but ctl command for master volume control is on the CUR pad (namely CTL -> UP) and is not accessible in this version with out access to the CUR pad.
i guess i just have to run virtualkey to emulate the joystick. have problems setting commands though, emulating RSK on virtualkeys is 'space' instead of 'right click' on scummvm and and LSK is 'enter'. but i guess that's because virtualkey is s60v3 not fully compatible with v5. any tips on mapping keys easier?
yea, Anotherguest, how am i supposed to set the volume in the new version? pressing ctrl changes the arrows to numbers so i can't set it.

Antoni Tàpies was born in Barcelona in 1923, dies at 88 years of age, 6 February 2012, in Barcelona.
Catalan painter and graphic artist who began his career as a surrealist with no formal training.
Co-founder of the group centred around the magazine 'Dau al Set' in Barcelona. In 1950-51 he went on a French government scolarship to Paris and in 1953 visited New York for his first American exhibition. He has won numerous prizes including the prize for painting at the 1958 Venice Biennale. Tapies was influenced by Dubuffet and Miro and he became very aware of the heritage he shared with Miro (there are considerable similarities between the two artists' prints of the late 1960's).
Characteristic work by Tapies includes paintings with thickly impastoed, scratched or scraped paint in a dramatic style with austere imagery and earthy colour. All this may relate strongly to the character of the spanish countryside. In the mid-1950's Tapies became concerned with the physical evidence of man's journey through his environment. His work increasingly began to emulate the decay and ware through time or defacement of doors and walls. He used areas of sand and ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

ProlimaTech MK-13 Multi VGA Cooler Review
Most avid enthusiasts will get into either silent/quiet computing or extreme forms of cooling. The heatsink reviewed here from ProlimaTech - the MK-13 Multi VGA heatsink is designed to fit many various graphics cards and allow either quiet configurations or optimal cooling for users who want to push their graphics cards - in either case the card equipped with this heatsink should run cool judging from the sheer size of the main heatsink with six heatpipes spanning its length with moderately spaced fins for a balance between restriction and performance. Fans aren't included, which allows users to customize the setup to their liking - up to four fans can be fitted on the heatsink as long as the case space allows - a bracket stretches out on which to mount the fans.
Closer look:
Looking at the box, a white outline of the MK-13 is immediately visible with a camouflage look in the background. Blue, black, green, and white colors are common on the box art. The ProlimaTech name and website are both boldly presented on the front of the box along with the larger MK-13 and Multi-VGA Cooler moniker. A white line separates the picture and the company logo/part name. Rotating to the back reveals a similar style - torn border at the top that separates ProlimaTech's logo/website, MK-13, and Multi-VGA Cooler from the installation notes and features - Omni-Mount Retention System for installation on various VGA cards, supports a maximum of four fans, no fuss, easy no-tool installation, solder on all contact points for maximum heat transfer, exclusive Prolimatech Omni-Mount Retention System for installation on all major VGA cards including future VGA cards, six high-quality copper heat pipes, works with 12cm duo fans (not included) for maximum cooling capacity, and Includes metal supporting cast to install two fans perpendicular to the VGA heatsink. The heatsink is made in China.
The first side sports the graphics card compatibility list separated for ATI and NVIDIA graphics cards. Starting with the NVIDIA list, both Geforce and Quadro are listed and range from Geforce 7800 series all the way up to Geforce GTX 285 and from the Quadro FX1400 all the way up to Quadro FX5600. The ATI side lists fewer - starting with the Radeon HD 3850/3870 and Radeon HD 4770 to Radeon HD 4890, to the Radeon HD 5750 and Radeon HD 5870. In red at the top it warns: "to ensure a more steady installation, a chassis with at least 20cm of width is strongly recommended." Oddly, the 9800GX2 is listed as supported although it is a dual GPU graphics card, which I think is an error. Opening the box shows some plastic foam padding the heatsink for protection, with the manual on top ready for viewing.
Lifting the initial foam pad shows another formed pad that encircles the heat sink- more are underneath it and provide a ring of protection. The large heatsink is finally revealed! Mounting holes are visible, along with the heat pipes. A protective bag and a sticker over the base also help keep the heatsink safe during the transition from shipping to installation. With everything removed, users will find that several medium and small heatsinks were also included for cooling memory and the occasional hot spots as well as voltage regulation. A backplate and many thumb-screws are also included, meaning a straight and easy installation, although most people will have already used tools to get their old graphics card cooling solution taken apart. The mounting brackets for the fans are seen to the right. Lastly, we have the user manual that lists the parts and numbers them accordingly in several languages and should be a good aid in installing the heatsink to a graphics card.
Time to get some close ups and get it installed!

Police: Bedford should be on the alert after attack on couple last weekendBy KATHRYN MARCHOCKI and SIMON RIOS
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 30. 2012 7:37PM
BEDFORD - Six days after an intruder broke into a home and brutally assaulted a doctor and his wife, police gave a general description of the assailant and said they don't know if the couple was targeted or attacked at random.
"It's important for everyone to recognize the...disturbing possibility that there is an individual in the community who may strike again and that is not comforting," Police Chief John J. Bryfonski said at a Friday media conference at police headquarters.
Bryfonski said the man who broke into the 7 Proclamation Court Adirondack-style mansion where Dr. Eduardo Quesada, his wife, Sonia, and their 2-year-old daughter lived is at least 6-feet tall and wore a black ski mask and dark clothing when he confronted the couple inside their home about 10 p.m. Nov. 24.
"I just really pray that they find this person," said one neighbor who asked that her name not be used out of concern for her safety.
Meanwhile, investigators this week interviewed subcontractors and the developer who have been building the house next door to the Quesadas, one of the subcontractors interviewed said.
"They (police) believe it was a burglary gone bad and that tools were involved," said the subcontractor, who asked that his name not be published.
"They came and asked me if there were any tools missing," he added.
Investigators also met separately with the developer and asked him for the names of everyone who worked on the neighboring house since construction began late summer, the subcontractor said.
Police also brought in a dog team Tuesday to search the rear and side yards of houses along the cul-de-sac, he said.
Flanked by state, local and county law enforcers, Bryfonski said investigators do not know who the intruder is, whether he acted alone or if the burglary was random or targeted.
Police also don't know the motive for the burglary and attack, or whether Dr. Quesada's work as an anesthesiologist with Amoskeag Anesthesiology in Manchester, had anything to do with it.
"We are exploring every possible motive and are still looking at every single piece of evidence," he added.
Authorities held off releasing a description of the attacker until they had a chance to speak more extensively with both victims during the last three to four days and found that a preliminary review of the evidence corroborated their accounts.
Earlier this week, police told the public there is nothing to suggests residents were less safe than usual.
Bryfonski said the male attacker is the same person police previously called a "person of interest."
Quesada, 52, reportedly suffered serious head injuries. He remains hospitalized, the chief said yesterday. Sonia Quesada was released from the hospital this week, the chief said. Their child was not harmed and is being cared for by relatives.
A wounded and bloodied Sonia Quesada first ran to a neighbor's house at 6 Proclamation Court - one of just three houses on the short cul-de-sac. When she found no one home, she ran to the other neighbor's house at 3 Proclamation Court, who called 911, according to police and resident accounts.
Bryfonski, who has been the town's police chief about one year, warned residents to be vigilant and report suspicious activity to Bedford police at 472-5113. He also urged residents to turn on their security alarms, and lights and lock doors.
Bryfonski would not comment when a reporter asked him to confirm a report that Dr. Quesada had been attacked with a screwdriver. The chief also would not say if there were signs of forced entry at the home, if anything had been taken and whether police had recovered a weapon.
Burglaries, the chief said, are "one of the major problems here in Bedford." But, he added, home invasions are "not commonplace" here.
Asked if police are exploring the possibility the attack was the result of a burglary gone bad, the chief only said "we're looking at everything."
One neighbor and a local contractor, however, said Bedford police approach them about a month ago seeking information about an attempted burglary in the neighborhood.They are investigating whether any similar break-ins have happened in the region.
For now, police do not even know if the attacker was on foot or used a vehicle.
While police have just a vague description of the attacker, Bryfonski said state police investigators have amassed "a mountain of evidence" during their nearly four days working inside the home. Much has yet to be processed.
Bryfonski said there is "no connection" between Dr. Quesada's arrest in November, 2011 on a domestic-related assault charge and this case.
Assisting Bedford police are New Hampshire State Police Major Crime Unit investigators, Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies, the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration agents.

Review: The Glunz Tavern
1202 N. Wells St. 312-642-3002
Rating: !! (out of four) Give it some time
The Glunz Tavern has been gathering 90-plus years worth of dust—that's not quite as long as the Cubs' World Series drought, but it's still pretty remarkable. The bar had been closed since Prohibition, but the Glunz family hung on to the Old Town real estate and continued to operate a distribution company and retail store in the adjacent space. This year, owner Christopher Donovan (Barbara Glunz's son) decided the time was right to polish up the cabinets and light fixtures and throw the tavern's doors back open for business.
While the bar was scheduled to return in the summer, the usual pre-opening hang-ups pushed that date back to mid-December. As temperatures dropped in early January and my post-holiday doldrums set in, the time couldn't have been better to hole up in a cozy neighborhood spot that promised plenty of beer, wine and European-leaning comfort food. With chilled toes and a hungry stomach, I swung open Glunz's solid wood door to assess the tavern's revival.
It's hard being popular. The scene at Glunz the Friday night I visited was what I expected: a bustling mix of couples meeting up after work, some guys having a drink before heading elsewhere and well-heeled, slightly older couples from the neighborhood grabbing dinner. It seemed, though, that the crowd was not what Glunz had prepared for. A harried staff struggled to keep up with drinks, and I had a hard time catching a server's eye even though I had a seat at the bar. It's a good thing I had kept track of exactly what my date and I had ordered, too, because I needed to repeat it all—food included—to my server when it came time for the bill. To their credit, bartenders were polite and surprisingly upbeat while issuing their apologies, and they didn't cut corners. It took a few extra moments, but they chilled a man's glass with ice cubes before straining his martini.
At least there's eye candy. While I waited for my Clover Club, a gin, lemon juice, Glunz raspberry liqueur and egg white cocktail—one option on Glunz's tight list of classic cocktails ($12-14)— I was glad for the opportunity to survey the tavern's vintage interior. Through the years, the family has kept many of Glunz's original details untouched, from the safe on the dining room wall to the tin ceilings (built in the 1870s following the Great Chicago Fire). They even bought their chairs from the historic Berghoff restaurant to maintain authenticity. Despite an abundance of dark wood and stained glass, the bar doesn't feel like a relic, thanks to huge front windows that open onto Wells Street and let in plenty of outside energy.
A tavern without taps? My ears perked up when, prior to opening, Glunz's owners said they planned to offer cask-conditioned beers (a method of serving beer that means less carbonation and smoother pours) alongside draft offerings. Not only were there no casks to be found, but there were no draft beers yet at all, the bartenders told me apologetically. Owners say they do plan to install the tap system in the future, but haven't yet worked out a time frame. I was consoled by their haphazard but still solid selection of Belgian and domestic craft bottles, which weren't all listed on the menu, leaving me to test my eyesight as I squinted at the refrigerators behind the bar.
Snack French. While there are plenty of tables for diners looking to dig into a full meal, the bar is wide enough to easily accommodate the large plates of food. I saw more than a few burger-and-fry orders emerge from the kitchen, but I was drawn to the European-leaning dishes. Though the plates took a while to emerge from the kitchen, the plentiful sweetbreads and escargots bourguignon ($12) were worth waiting for. Both the snails and the sweetbreads were tender and velvety, and I couldn't resist dipping my order of fries with black truffle mayonnaise ($6) in the leftover sauce. The coq au riesling ($16), a white-wine spin on the classic coq au vin, had a similarly satisfying sauce, but the chicken itself left little impression. My date could barely wait for his order of spaetzle uberbacken ($8), a dish that promised a crowd-pleasing combo of doughy spaetzle noodles, oven-baked onion, gruyere cheese and ham. But when it arrived, the entire casserole languished under a pool of buttery grease so visible that neither of us cared to eat more than a few bites, and it left me wishing I had just doubled my escargot order.
Bottom line: Glunz felt like it was emerging from a 90-plus-year slumber, but it was the service, not the physical space, that was rusty. I'd like to stop back once the staff hass had a chance to stretch its legs a bit—and once there are beers on tap with which to wash down all the nostalgia.
