Nice job Habs - hopefully the rest of the games in that series go to 2OT.
I went to bed after the first OT thinking the Bruins were going to win.. Glad to wake up and see the score!
Get in the fast lane grandma, the bingo game is ready to roll
with Orpik out that leaves Scuderi as our next worst D man - and it showed
If I was coach I'd consider sitting Sid for Gibbons for a few shifts, looks like Sid left his legs in Sochi
Pens were extremely lucky this game even made it to OT

Hi All,
Determined to try and find a better copy of this than what I've got on my 30 year old TDK-SA90, I have to date bought three copies of this single, from the UK, Germany and Japan - and they are all scratched to f**k.
I mean virtually unlistenable! As the guy Beshara's talking to on his 12" of 'Men Cry Too' says: 'Things bad man. Really, really bad'.
So, does anyone have a better copy of this single I could buy, please? Or, lest the moderator a strike me down dead - any format considered.

Yesterday I was miffed at snarky comments on Twitter and Facebook made by NYC locals who were underwhelmed by Hurricane Irene.
I wasn't the only one.
Neighbors in New Jersey, Connecticut and Vermont who are underwater and without power were quick to snark back at their lack of empathy.
The snark resurfaced last night in live tweets about the VMAs, one of the few awards shows I don't watch (but probably should based on the comments).
Which got me thinking… where does the word 'snark' come from? How long has it been around? And is there someone I can personally thank since it is so much fun to say?
'Snark' is simply the blending of 'snide' and 'remark.' I couldn't find a date or person credited for the first mash-up of the word, but it's a good one.
I did find lots of 'snark' derivations, which are brilliant in and of themselves. I know you'll want to add a few of them to your vocab:
- snarkagogy — the art or science of being snarky (now, there's a college major for ya)
- snarkalec — someone who consistently makes snarky remarks
- snarkasm — snarky, with an undertone of sarcasm (for advanced snarkalecs only)
- snarkhat — if you are not usually snarky, put it on to make a snarky comment; then take off
There are a lot more at UrbanDictionary.com. (Figured it would be snarky to not reveal my source.)

Want to make a blatant and very true statement regarding male privilege and systematic female dis-empowerment? Here you go.
Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.
via Cheris Kramerae and Paula Treichler and Grinning Cat
Yes, feminists are clever and brash! Just right for the current situation. I like the look on her face!
Another universal right that's too often seen as male privilege:
Taking advantage of contraception -- one of the greatest public health triumphs of the 20th century -- to decouple the incredible pleasure and bonding of sex from making babies.
What a bold way to emphasize the pervasiveness of male privilege!
(Those privileges really ought to be universals, available to people of any gender: receiving respect, having access to good jobs and other opportunities, being relatively unafraid to be on the street at any time of day or night, whatever clothes you're wearing....)
I can't improve on Cheris Kramerae and Paula Treichler's quote:
Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.
Hey, that picture and sign is classic, Kelly.

Pearson's Mint Patties Creamy Candy Cane
One of the surprising finds in the Christmas candy aisle this year was Pearson's Mint Patties Creamy Candy Cane. They were expensive at $3.99 for only 6.4 ounces at KMart, but I was really curious to try them. But what are they?
The package says: A stick of creamy peppermint with a layer of candy cane flavored mint covered in delicious dark chocolate. I really don't understand that, but I'm along for the ride.
The dark chocolate is 66% cacao and aside from the artificial colors, the ingredients are pretty good. Unlike York Peppermint Patties (which are now made in Mexico) which contain egg whites, Pearson's are vegetarian, using soy protein instead of egg albumen in the fondant center. They do, however, contain milk fat in the chocolate so they're not vegan. They're listed as gluten free but may contain traces of peanuts or tree nuts.
The construction is simple enough, they're a rod of two different layers of fondant covered in dark chocolate. The bottom layer is the same peppermint cream found inside the regular old Pearson's Mint Patty. As far as that goes, Pearson's makes a great peppermint patty. Some may say it's better than York, they're a little different in their ratios and textures but I'd definitely say they're both excellent quality.
The bottom layer is smooth and lightly minted, the dark chocolate plays well with a bitter but woodsy cocoa note. The top, pink layer is definitely more minty and possibly a little moister or at least a little creamier on the tongue. It's not that big of a difference. The stick is a big portion for something I'd consider an after dinner mint. They're only 90 calories but about .8 ounces. A snack size (those foil wrapped ones) are about a quarter of an ounce - so it's about the same as three patties. There seems to be more chocolate compared to the filling in the sticks, so that may be a selling point for some.
The price is prohibitive, even for a holiday item. I think I prefer the patties, which I bought recently for about 25 cents an ounce for a big 48 ounce bag (for the jar in my office) while this would be about 62 cents an ounce and look kind of sad in late January if no one ate them yet, even though they're good until September of 2014.
Crunchies or a chocolate layer or something else to distinguish them more from the regular patties would push these over into a stronger recommendation. As it is, if you prefer a mint stick with a more crumbly fondant instead of the flowing style of After Eight, then go for these for the holidays. Otherwise, just grab the regular patties and call them ornaments instead.

Pearson's Sea Salt Caramel Nut Goodies
The Nut Goodie is made by Pearson's and debuted in 1912, one of the oldest combination candy bars still in production. Though they're still mostly a local candy in the St. Paul, Minnesota area, they are found at specialty stores around the country. One of the notable things about the Nut Goodies (a maple cream covered with peanuts & chocolate) is that they're made with real chocolate. There are a lot of regional candy bars that somewhere along the way (or maybe they started out that way) ended up with cheaper "chocolate compound" (basically, mockolate).
Pearson's is busy celebrating their 100th anniversary with some special events, including the first new spin-off of the Nut Goodie, the Pearson's Sea Salt Caramel Nut Goodies. (I'm not sure why this version of the candy gets a plural on the package.)
The new Sea Salt Caramel Nut Goodie – made with real milk chocolate, Virginia peanuts, sea salt and caramel – marks the first permanent line extension in the Nut Goodie's 100-year history.
It's a very simple candy, which makes me wonder why there aren't more of these on the market. A caramel pattie covered in peanuts and milk chocolate. Dead simple, but not easy to find.
The caramel portion is soft and chewy, almost the point of flowing. When they said sea salt, they weren't kidding though. This 1.75 ounce candy has 220 mg, which is about twice as much as necessary. The nuts, as promised, are fresh and crunch and actually have that distinctive "Virginia" flavor which is a little more earthy and less green than other varieties. The chocolate is sweet but much richer with a stronger cocoa flavor than I expected. It was a welcome component to the piece. Really, my only issue with this is the too-salty caramel. I recognize that my low-salt lifestyle has made me much more sensitive to this, but I still think that the level, for a non-savory item, is just too high.
I liked the package, I liked the concept. I hope that Pearson's considers a regular caramel instead or at least in addition to this.

Pearson's Nut Goodie
I was prompted to seek out this Pearson's bar after enjoying both the Pearson's Salted Nut Roll and later the Bun Bars (especially the Maple Bun).
But here's the question, how is this one different from the Bun Maple? Both are a maple fondant center covered in peanuts and milk chocolate. I had to taste it to find out.
There is no difference in size, they're both 1.75 ounces and their packaging is sized identically. In fact, they look strikingly similar.
But they don't taste the same. I don't know what to attribute this to, but the Nut Goodie is neither a Maple Bun nor a Vanilla Bun. Since I had the wrapper from the Bun still lying around I did a comparison:
Maple Bun Bar.....................................Nut Goodie
So there you have it, they're different. The Maple Bun, though it lists no maple flavoring, had a stronger mapleness to it, but the Nut Goodie is no slouch. It's a good bar. The fondant center is a little more dense and has a good sweetness with a balanced slight hit of salt that brings out a more subtle maple/toasted note to it. The nuts are top notch and the milk chocolate is smooth and sweet and of good quality.
I doubt I'll see many of these around, but if you're a Maple Bun fan and you can't find those, this might be a tasty substitute. I'd still like to see these made in a bar form instead of the plop, as it's a bit harder to eat.

Pearson's Buns
I've ignored these bars for years. Well, they're not really bars, they're lumps. Maybe that's why I avoided them, they're just plops, like something you'd make at home.
I can't say that I see them very often, but after the pleasant Pearson's Salted Nut Roll experience, I thought I would give these a try. So what is a Bun? It's a nut and milk chocolate patty filled with a white fudge/fondant (vanilla or maple) or caramel. The Bun bar was originally made by Wayne Bun Candy Company back in the 1920s, which was based, oddly enough in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Later the bar was bought by Clark of Pittsburgh (the Clark bar) but when Clark was ailing they sold the Bun rights off to Pearson's in 1998, which only makes sense as Pearson's was already known for their high protein Salted Nut Roll.
The version that appealed to me most was the caramel, so I'll start with it. The nuts are whole (or halves, actually) so they provide a huge boost of texture to the sweet milk chocolate. The center is a thick and soft caramel. The whole bar doesn't smell like peanuts or caramelized sugar, instead it smells like coconut. It also has a tangy quality to it that I can't quite put my finger on that kind of ruined the experience. It's salty, but not quite in the right balance.
The chocolate on this one was glossier and I have to say, when it's fresh, it's a rather handsome looking candy plop. This one has the requisite nut and chocolate smell. The vanilla center is sweet and has a nice vanilla flavor (part artificial and part natural). The peanuts keep the whole thing from being too sweet. It's not a bar I would buy again, but I appreciate that when it first came out, as a combination bar it's filling and interesting.
What kind of confuses me about the whole history of the Bun and Pearson's is that they already have a candy similar to this, called the Nut Goodie. The Nut Goodie came on the market a good ten years earlier than the Bun Maple, yet Pearson's still continues to make this regional favorite. (I'll need to get a hold of one and do a comparison.) Anyway, this is definitely the highlight of the Bun line. The center on this is a maple fudge. It's smooth and soft and has a microfine crystalline structure that melts quickly in the mouth and mingles well with the nuts and milk chocolate. It's quite a bit saltier tasting than the Vanilla one, but I think that's what makes the flavors pop. Of the three, this is the one that was consumed first. I suspect that these are the hardest to find of the three varieties, so I can't bump up the whole rating for the line.
If you're looking for Pearson's candy, look no further than their affiliate website. You have to buy in whole boxes, but their prices are excellent (less than $.65 a bar) and they offer assortments of Pearson's and even retro candy boxes that include Rocky Road, GooGoo Clusters and Moon Pies.

Pearson's Nut Roll
Pearson's Nut Roll is one of those bars I look at and think that it's not for my generation. It was first introduced in 1933, and during the depression a bar like this could not only be a treat, but supply much needed calories and protein at a rather affordable price.
Pearson's Nut Roll is kinda like a Payday bar. It's a soft nougat center, then a small layer of sticky caramel and a generous coating of salted peanuts (Virginia peanuts according to their website). My bar was a little wonky, with the caramel part showing through and the peanuts all gathered around the edges instead of on top. It didn't seem to affect the flavor at all.
The center is much sweeter, as far as I can tell, than a Payday bar, but the nuts are salty and balance it well. For a candy bar there's a lot of protein in there too, 8 grams for the regular 1.8 ounce sized bar. A lot of those "nutrition" bars don't have that much protein in them. Of course you have to like peanuts to eat this bar. Which I do.
It's a solid middle performer as candy bars go. It's something I would pick up if I were looking for a "meal replacement candy bar" that has a good balance of taste, texture and of course a hit of protein which gives lasting energy. Without any chocolate, it's a good hot weather performer as well.

My Definition of Success
What is your personal definition of success…….both for cycling and life?
If you don't have a personal definition I greatly suggest you getting one. By knowing exactly what it takes for you to consider your life a success, you need to have a way to measure or determine it.
It all comes down to core values in my opinion. If you know what key ingredients go into making you feel successful then you'll know what goes into your own personal definition.
Because cycling is such a huge part of my life, it most definitely is a part of my definition of success. If I'm able to ride outside, year round, in a warm climate at least 4 or 5 times each week, then one of my core values has been met. If I'm able to continually improve my performance and become a stronger cyclist each year, then the cycling portion of my life is a complete success.
But my definition of success goes farther. I won't get into all the details, but another of my core values is to live each day with nothing more than a t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. I've done all I can to make this one happen, and I honestly cannot remember the last time I had to detour from this core value. The only shoes I wear are my cycling shoes….some days I wear no shoes or sandals at all.
Because I used to work from home and now that I do leave home to work, I take my bike. There are some weeks that I don't spend any time in the car…..and to me, that is one incredible feeling. This is most definitely another sentence in my definition of success.
One of my favorite definitions of success is from musician, Bob Dylan:
I think his words quite easily sum up all that goes into my own personal definition.
So how about you? What key ingredients go into your own personal definition of success? Create it, and then make it happen.

It is more about how long from when you discover that there is a new release, to when you are finally able to watch it. You may come home hours after a new release, but instead of taking that 30 minutes to wait for your BT to finish downloading, you could spend 15 minutes with IRC. Unless you're one of the types that watch whatever's out first instead of one group, I don't think memorizing one channel's IRC location is that hard. You can even take it one step further, and memorize which of the bots are the best from that one channel.
I also watch stuff I download days or weeks after I download it, but I still go with IRC. It is much more convenient this way, because I can just let the download go while I can use my upload speed for more important stuff. So even with smaller channels, if I can download at 30 kb/s with IRC, that's good enough for me.

mIRC and BT
I can use them both
but i do prefer mIRC , you can just check get auto file and resume if file exists , so I don't get somebody said , he had to download the file all over again -_-´
but mIRC has some minus points ,
sometimes the download speed is UNDER 50kb/s
but now I have with BT - ( hunter x hunter ) that there is nobody who's seeding and nobody downloading so ... I'm seeding hikaru no go special myself , if I can't download i just seed ( wow already send 128 mb :P )
but if mIRC Bots are offline , you have to wait a few hours OR A FEW DAYS so that's the same as BT
but I like mIRC better I completely understand the program , and fserve sucks - go slow and virusses , i was trying to fserve once and I succeeded but i have a router so it pretty sucks to fserve
and I think i'm gonna look for naruto 72 anbu aone release cya

Fansubber Emeritus
sometimes I miss the old days ... bt has really made a lot of the whole distro thing a lot more cold and impersonal. And a lot more impatient. No more "oh, it's 3 days after the release, I guess I stand a chance of finding it now" ... it's all about more faster now now now immediate service. I guess that's where everything's headed now though, with video on demand and pvr's and more people leaning more heavily on microwaves and fast food. I wonder why we as a society have lost our ability to appreciate waits, and to learn to take breaks from our constant flashing audiovisual stimuli to catch up with nonflashing varieties of the same, like friends and family... or using compile times as an excuse to go out and get coffee or take a walk.
bleh, there I go sidetracking again. I think I'll stop before I hit some post length limit or just bore everyone :-p. (dang kids and your mtv and your skateboards and your long hair and your music)

Actually, it is possible to run BT on a hacked computer. So if people would really want to use hacked computer as seeds, they can do it (altough setting up iroffer is far easier). And I won't reply to people asking me how
As for the fight XDCC vs BT... I prefer XDCC, but still uses torrent to get most of the releases. Why? Because I just have to check on animesuki for the latest torrents, one click, and the download starts. I can even serve the file on BT without being bothered by setting a fserve or a xdcc bot on my computer. However, my comp cannot handle too many torrents at the same time (maybe because I set max_upload to 50, but eh, I have extra bandwidth to waste). However, XDCC and BT are working well together, as you have lots of people who will use the torrent, and therefore help the xdcc to not be overloaded during release time.
If you want to use XDCC bots as seed, I would rather have them on older serie batch files. They are poorly or not seeded at all, when new releases usually get quickly lots of seeds.

We at L-E run a btseeder that scans the .torrents and seeds the ones that need it most ( 0 seeds, etc ), but not everyone has that luxury.
And it'd be REALLY imporactical to load all these old releases onto hacked computers because you don't want to eat up too much HD space and be caught out :P This is the main reason why hacked XDCC bots are used for new releases primarily. That and the increased demand for them.
Also, since bt has the leechers helping upload, you can get away with a lot less bandwidth for releases than you could without it. As long as you have 1 person seeding the file will make its way around eventually (says the guy who released Wolf's Rain eps with 1 seed and 1100 leechers, haha ^^

Well I prefer IRC over BT, but yeah BT is easier. Also to hack some1's computer and use it as seed is easy...just as running iroffer on victim machine. Scan range of IP's -> check if they have shares visible to outside world->check for weak passwords->execute remote command->check register over web and install remote control app (netBus is good) and run console app (like BT) and send output to null
I think if person who can't notice that 100% of his CPU is used and his free space is getting smaller all the time...then I guess it's his fault.
Also hacked distro is bad...coz you never know when will it die and how much space there is (users fill their hdds pretty fast too). I prefer to have a distro group I can count on rather then 100 bots coming and going all the time. Also some users turn off computers for the night.

In general with new popular file I get better speed with BT than XDCC. It is usually a pointless execise to try to get into XDCC for a new file anyway since the queues are always full, e.g. the A-E releases that triggered this discussion.
But with old files XDCC is usually faster and sometime the only way to get the file. But it sure is annoying when you need to go through a lot of XDCC/fserve servers just to find one file.
The big advantage of BT (and ed2k) is the check-sum. Once it is done you know the file is good. With other methods - XDCC, fserve or FTP - you still need to do the check manually. BT's ability to repair broken files from other source is very handy.
Newsgroup is the most efficient way to distribute the file - you just upload once and let the big servers with big pipes handle the distribution, and with the right server you can be completely annonymous. It is getting expensive to use though with many ISP reducing or cutting off their NNTP server since the gigs of warez and pr0n posts just keep growing.

Yes, newsgroups are fast, but not too many people know how to use them effectively or even have access to a decent provider.
I prefer XDCC over BT simply due to speed. If I can max out my downstream and get a file in about 20 minutes, why use BT and spend a few hours attempting to nab the file? Anyway, in A-E's case, their bots aren't hacked, the clients willing allowed for the IROffer to be placed on their systems. >.>

Don't worry about people here Koro.
The people complaining about no BT releases are people who are too lazy to learn how to use IRC, yet still have time to bitch about it? You don't want them in your channel anyway.
Remember, fansubbers don't "owe" leeches anything. I like to know who downloads my fansubs, and with BT I can't see that. Solution is to do IRC releases.... and who cares if peolpe complain. If they hate it so much, they can go download one of the other 50 new BT episodes available that day.
I'm thinking of doing my next release IRC only. It sucks when your BT has 4000+ downloads, and yet your IRC channel has 30 people. The same people who have been around for over a year. A nice IRC release will get some new blood in there and liven things up...

I don't know about your leecher side of things, but certainly from an upload view, BT is much nicer.
I am only behind a residential DSL @ 384kbps up. I have no access to fast bots myself, and if I did, I'd still have to upload the file to the bot. In that amount of time, and the same amount of bandwidth, the world could have the file. Thus, I use BT. Of course, all the leechers promptly complain that they are only getting 18kB/s.
The leechers don't see the time lag between encoding complete/predistro and announce, because the groups release later, when distro is all ready.

"Is it done yet?"
"When is it going to be done?"
"You guys suck!!! (Is it done yet?)"
"You're slower than group X"
"Why aren't you done yet?"
Get the idea?
I still feel that the constructive criticism and the heartfelt thanks will still make it to your channel. Average leechers don't generally want anything more than their files, and in most cases could care less to critique your encoding, editing, etc.
I agree however that it can be a downer to sit around in IRC with very few people around aside from the staff, and get very little feedback, positive or otherwise on a release.(Particularly if you felt it was deserving of either criticism or praise.)

Here's how I imagine the IRC style of close and personal correspondence went down in the days of VHS fansubbing.

The main research interests of the Watts's group focus on the study of the structure of small molecules when at their site of action in membrane-bound proteins whilst in their native, fully functional form in membranes. In addition, peptides which form channels in membranes are being studied to high resolution using solid state NMR methods. The potential for understanding how the membrane-bound targets for hormones, solutes and drugs function can be realised with this emerging technology.
The NMR Facility was opened in 1998, funded through investments by HEFCE and UK Research Councils with matching funds from instrument manufacturers. It is equipped as one of the major solid state biological NMR centres in the world and now has some of the most advanced instruments (at 200MHz, 400MHz, 500MHz and 800MHz) and support facilities anywhere world-wide for use in structural biology.

Cleveland cans Silas/trying to keep LeBron Happy
AP article
CLEVELAND -- Paul Silas was hired to mentor the NBA's next superstar. While he succeeded with LeBron James, his failure with the rest of the team cost him his job.
Silas was fired as coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, his team fighting for a playoff spot after leading its division earlier this year. Longtime NBA assistant Brendan Malone was appointed interim coach.
The dismissal came with 18 games left and the team clinging to the fifth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. James seems to have been the only player who saw the move coming.
"You could kind of tell the way the air was, how things were going around here, there was going to have to be a change," said James, who scored a franchise-record 56 points Sunday. "I didn't know it was going to be this soon."
Silas told The Associated Press he was informed at a morning meeting with general manager Jim Paxson and new owner Dan Gilbert. Silas' son, assistant Stephen Silas, also was fired.
"They didn't think the team was performing as well as it should be and they wanted to make a change," Paul Silas said.
Malone will coach Tuesday night's home game against Detroit. He acknowledged he's in a tough situation, taking over a team late in the season that is expected to reach the playoffs.
"I'm still in a state of shock about what happened," Malone said after a morning practice.
Despite James and fellow All-Star Zydrunas Ilgauskas, the Cavaliers have slumped since the All-Star break. They have lost nine of 12 and nine straight road games, including Sunday's 105-98 loss to Toronto when the 20-year-old James became the youngest NBA player to score 50 or more points.
"We felt that if we didn't make this decision that we were jeopardizing our ability to be a playoff team this year," Paxson said.
Paxson criticized Silas' ability as a coach and motivator.
"We're 64 games into the season and we still don't have a consistent rotation, substitution pattern, those type of things," Paxson said. "We didn't see that changing."
Gilbert took over the team just three weeks ago and said the organization would be evaluated from top to bottom. He indicated Silas was not creating the best environment for the players.
"We felt the change today was necessary. It's going to put us in a better position to win," Gilbert said.
The Cavaliers entered the All-Star break at 30-21, then went into a slide, the decline marked by personnel issues. The trouble may have culminated Sunday when Silas benched starting guard Jeff McInnis for Eric Snow, who didn't score. McInnis did not play.
Earlier this season, Silas threw Snow off the bench after the two exchanged words in Detroit, a move that stunned the team because Snow is a leader.
Last week, Silas was fined $10,000 by the team for a derogatory comment about Utah forward Carlos Boozer, who left the team as a free agent last summer. Gilbert said that had no bearing on the firing.
The Cavaliers are the ninth team -- nearly one-third of the league -- to make a coaching change since the start of the season

So. Many. New. Coffees.
Costa Rica ARBAR El Oasis Yellow Honey Caturra
Peach - Pineapple - Orange
In the cup it's like someone has slipped in a big glug of 5 Alive Tropical Hit fruit juice! This coffee is all peaches, pineapples and oranges, with a really complex but delicious fruit sweetness.
Costa Rica ARBAR El Manantial Red Honey Caturra
Milk Chocolate - Caramel - Orange Zest
In the cup this is a really sweetness driven coffee that massively reminds me of a Terry's Chocolate Orange! Plenty of milk chocolate, a little caramel and then orange zest on the finish.
El Salvador Finca Noruega Natural Bourbon
Sultana - Dark Chocolate - Apricot
In the cup this is a big but silky coffee, with a massive very heavy body that's full of sultanas. Also think lower percentage dark chocolate and a little apricot on the finish.
El Salvador Finca Noruega Washed Bourbon
Curly Wurly - Orange - Smashable
In the cup did you leave your chocolate bar in the sun? This is a big cup of melted Cadbury's Curly Wurly right here, milk chocolate, caramel and very sweet with a muted sweet orange thing going on too. A super quaffable and, I'd say...smashable cup of coffee!
Kenya Kiriga Estate AA Washed
Ribena - Chocolate - Black Pepper
In the cup expect a rush of blackcurrant Ribena alongside a chocolate sweetness that's perfectly balanced with a great body. The finish has a delicate black pepper spiciness that's delicate but adds plenty of interest.
Kenya Kiriga Estate AB Washed
Tropical Fruit - Dark Chocolate - Lemon
In the cup this kicks off with a tropical fruit like sweetness and acidity, then a creamy base note of dark chocolate that finishes with lemon pithiness.
Kenya Kieni Washed AA
Tropical - Orange - Caramel
In the cup this has a Tolly tropical taste of Lilt (regional reference there for you) in both its sweetness and acidity. It also has an effervescence to add to this descriptor. In the aftertaste it turns a little more orangey (Tango) with a delicate caramel hint.
Kenya Kieni Washed Peaberry
Red Apple - Lime Zest
In the cup this has a red apple acidity and sweetness, but in the mix is a creamy smooth body like a lime mousse before shifting to lime zest on the finish.

Wabash Defense Shuts Down Illinois Collegeby Howard W. Hewitt • November 19, 2011 Share:
C.J. Gum and the Wabash defense were the difference Saturday in Wabash's first-round NCAA playoff win over Illinois College, 38-20. The starting defense held the visiting Blueboys' offense, which entered the game averaging 41 a contest, to just six points. IC added two late touchdowns against Wabash substitutions.
Illinois College finished 9-2 while Wabash improved to 11-0. The Little Giants will face North Central (10-1) Saturday, Nov. 26. The Cardinals ousted the University of Dubuque Saturday, 59-13. The Little Giants will host North
Central Saturday. Kickoff is set for noon.
See photo albums here, here, here and here.
Illinois College's first foray into post-season play started well enough. After Tyler Holmes got Wabash on the board with a 4-yard run, the Blueboys responded with an Adam Fricke 2-yard catch from freshman quarterback Michael Bates, 7-6.
But after that initial drive the Wabash defense was again dominating. And after the game, No. 33 (or C.J. Gum) was still on the visitors' minds.
"Number 33 is obviously a big dude in there and he directs them," said IC freshman quarterback Michael Bates. "He has the play sheet on his wrist and he tells them what to do. He tells everybody what to do. Every tackle goes through him. We tried to get a little mis-direction stuff going with me and it just didn't go because of him. He's a heck of a football player. He was the key."
Little Giant Coach Erik Raeburn had to get plenty of satisfaction with his team's defensive performance. "I'm really proud of how well our starting defense played," he said. "We thought they were explosive on offense and when our starters were out there they had a hard time moving the football."
The Blueboys rushed for just 29 yards and picked up 193 passing. Their total offense of 222 yards was substantially below their 499 yard offensive average. "I think they did a lot of the things we saw on film, what we prepared for," Gum said. "We did have guys flying around."
IC Coach Campbell Garrett said the Wabash defense was "by far the fastest defense we've played all year. They were really fast. Number 33 is a heck of a football player and he's surrounded by some other great players who are extremely talented. They're big and you can look at the heights and weights but their speed is what is going to keep them progressing throughout the playoffs."
As the defense clamped down after IC's first drive, the offense came alive. Chase Belton and Tyler Holmes scored on runs of three and four yards to put Wabash up 21-6 mid-way through the second quarter. The Little Giants took complete control of the game just before halftime when Belton found Jonathan Horn for a 14-yard TD, 28-6.
Holmes led Wabash with 97 rushing yards while Vann Hunt added 90. Wabash ran the ball 62 times for 266 yards.
"You have to give credit to the line," Holmes said. "Without them we're not going to be able to do anything that we do. I thought today the line was sustaining their blocks long enough that we could do what we know we can do."
Belton had an efficient day passing with the run game clicking. The junior quarterback hit 11 of 19 passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns.
The Little Giants wrapped up their scoring in the third quarter starting with an Ian MacDougall 24-yard field goal. Then Belton found Wes Chamblee on a 16-yard scoring strike with 1:39 remaining in the third quarter, 38-6.
"The line blocked well and gave me enough time," Belton said. "I know when I hand it off to Vann and Tyler that they're going to make plays. And we handled the wind a lot better today."
Last week Wabash completed just two passes in windy conditions against DePauw.
Raeburn substituted liberally in the final quarter. The Blueboys added two late touchdowns, aided by a recovered on-side kick.
Cecil Brimmage scored on a 3-yard run, then following the kick recovery Bates hit Brock Thompson from 19 yards for the final score.
"I think we have learned as an entire program how to play in the playoffs now," Campbell said. "We now understand the expectations and the atmosphere and everything that goes along with it. I think that's critically important."
The Blueboys had an odd path to the playoffs. They finished 9-1 on Nov. 5 but in second place in their conference. They had to wait a week to learn they would compete again this year. They return a very young roster for next year.
"It was surreal really," said tight end Adam Fricke who caught the Blueboys' first score. "Two weeks ago we finished the season and didn't know if we were going to have the chance to play again. We had Senior Day at home and I thought I'd played my last game. Getting an opportunity to even be here, make the trip, get to be in on that play and score a touchdown … it took awhile for reality to set in. It was unlike anything I've ever experienced."
The experience continues for Wabash. North Central is a power running team. So for the second week in a row the Wabash defense will be tested by a team with a powerful offense that has scored more than 50 points in five games this year.

Skaro's Doctor Who Spoiler-free Review: The Rings of Akhaten
The Rings of Akhaten, airing tomorrow is a alien-packed, comedy musical thriller...never did I think I'd say that about an episode of Doctor Who, but there you are - it's what you get with a sci-fi series that can go anywhere and everywhere and only a week apart from the last.
The episode itself is a very emotional one, not only do we get a glimpse at a certain characters very emotional past, but we also have 2 very heartfelt musical moments which have a lot of emotion behind each one, you never know - there may even be a secret song hidden in the episode! The emotion is very raw and gripping, we get to see an emotional side of almost every main character in this episode which is a rare opportunity in such an alien-packed episode. We may even get a few scares from a new race of aliens The Vigil - but are they evil, or good?
We also get introduced to two new characters in this episode, one quite small - The Queen of Years, and one quite big... I'll leave you with those deductions about the other one, "Grandfather...". Not only are new characters introduced, but age-old ones referenced too, including one of the Doctor's first companions, which gives a great feeling to any Classic-Who fan.
Murray Gold again is on top form, providing such brilliant musical variations of past tracks, and some brand new ones which will certainly live down in Doctor Who history with "Song of Captivity". Congratulations to all of those involved in creating this episode - you helped make such a wonderful episode, that I'm sure everyone will enjoy on Saturday 5th April, 6:15pm (BST).

Glad you enjoyed it; some other reviews weren't as kind. I'm thinking I'll like it a lot; really enjoyed A Christmas Carol, a do love the emotional stuff. Love the fact that Doctor Who can be so different in every episode.

Yeah, I really liked it too. Not an all-time-classic, but not the disastrous end-of-all-Who that a lot of reviewers seem to think it is. It's just really different, maybe due to it being Neil Cross's 1st televised ep. There were a lot of plot threads going on, some more distracting than others. The main Akhaten peril was probably less important than the underlying "who is Clara" plot, which is getting more and more intriguing as it progresses. Feels simultaneously similar and different to the Amy Pond plotline.
I really loved the variety of alien make-up FX in this one - it really felt like the Mos Eisley cantina. And another possible point - was the Akhaten parasite of a similar species to the one in 42?

Photo Flash: First Look at Burning Coal Theatre's GOOD
C.P. Taylor's modern classic holocaust drama with music involves an educated, erudite professor who, following the difficult decision to help a dying parent to pass peacefully, writes a book about the subject. The book is viewed favorably by the Nazi party as it begins its rise to power in 1930s Germany and the professor is encouraged to work with the regime on "medical matters". Despite strenuous objections from his Jewish friends, the professor decides that he will stay in the country and attempt to positively influence the fascist regime. In 1999, London's National Theatre listed Good among its "100 Plays of the 20th Century".
Ian Finley, recent Piedmont Laureate and long-time company member at Burning Coal, will direct Good. Ian holds an MFA in playwriting from NYU, where he received the Harry Kondoleon Award for Playwriting. He has had plays produced in New York, Florida, North Carolina, Chicago and his native Utah, where he attended the University of Utah's undergraduate theatre program. For Burning Coal, Ian has written 1960 and Jude the Obscure, Parts 1 & 2.
Professor Halder will be played by Steven Roten, a member of Actors' Equity Association and theatre instructor at Meredith College in Raleigh. Steven has appeared at Burning Coal in Lipstick Traces, All the King's Men and Way to Heaven. Tamara Kraus of Raleigh will play Helen. Tamara appeared at Burning Coal in The Prisoner's Dilemma, The Shape of the Table and The Cherry Orchard. Julie Oliver of Raleigh will play Halder's Mother. Julie has appeared at Burning Coal in Brigadoon, Jude the Obscure, The Love Song of J. Robert Oppenheimer and others. Paul Paliyenko of Raleigh will play Hitler. Paul recently appeared with Hot Summer Nights in August: Osage County. He has appeared with Burning Coal in To Kill A Mockingbird, Way to Heaven and The Cherry Orchard. The cast also includes Jessica Hieronymus of Raleigh as Anne, Rob Jenkins of Raleigh as Maurice, Fred Corlett of Raleigh as Eichmann, Matt Hager of Raleigh as Rider, Alex Smith of Durham as Freddie and Sydney Mitchell of Raleigh as Halder's sister.
Ed Intemann, who heads the lighting program at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY will design Good. Props will be designed by Raleigh's Elizabeth Newton. Sound Design will be created by Loren Watson. Chad Hain of Greensboro will be technical director. Steph Scribner, a recent graduate of Elon University, will serve the production as Stage Manager.
Performances are Thursdays through Saturdays (1/31 to 2/2, 2/7 - 9 and 2/14 - 16) at 7:30 pm and Sundays (2/3, 10 and 17) at 2 pm. Tickets are $25 or $20 for seniors, and $15 for students and active military. Thursday night tickets are $10. Sunday, February 3 at 2 pm is 'Pay What You Can' day. Tickets are available at 919.834.4001 or at www.burningcoal.org.Photo Credit: Right Image Photography, Inc.

The American Farming Tradition
Farming motifs were very popular in magazines in the years after WWII. There are three illustrations in the July 19, 1947 issue of Saturday Evening Post of dairy farming alone.
I expect that's because rural and small-town America made up a very large percentage of magazine readers in those days. In his excellent article on Bernie Fuchs in the current issue of Illustration, author David Apatoff provides us with this anecdote about the illustrator Robert Fawcett:
'...Fawcett used to scold his fellow illustrators about their responsibility to audiences in small towns across the country, asserting "we represent the only view of art and beauty that millions of people get to see."'
Clearly, the editors and publishers understood that point - as did their advertisers.
From covers like this one by John Atherton, to ads for sparkplugs, the idealized American farming tradition was regularly and well represented. This week we'll take a look at how illustrators of the day interpreted that heritage.

Good topic Leif.ReplyDelete
That's a great quote by Fawcett. I'm one of those people who grew up in a small town/rural area and can identify very much with that statement.
It may seem different now with the internet, yet many young people still influenced on what is presented to them as opposed to going out & looking for it.
I'm presently reading John Grisham's book 'A Painted House' about growing up in rural Arkansas in the post-war period. I love the way it's written, as it's so easy to picture in your mind the setting.

Well I had heard through the rumor mill that this was posted so now that we are home we have decided to become members so that we can keep an eye on a certain guy and his shenanigans. We were so queezy that we could barely eat and Dubble Trouble has woken up twice having nightmares about worthless nuts. Seriously though it was sneaky and funny. I wondered why so many people had on such awful colors and now I know that it's because Mike paid you all to wear that stuff. It was good to see a few people stand strong like Team Mina, Eleanor and Moop Along. We had a great time today talking with everybody and can't wait for another one when there hopefully isn't a blizzard from Michigan to Defiance going on so we can get more than just 10 caches.
The next time I see T-Hunter I will give him a present I have for you.
I'm guessing this can't be a good thing!!!

Prudence Angelita A. Kasala
Quezon City, Philippines
Class Year:
Prior Education:
Bachelor of Laws - Philippine law, 2000, University of Santo Tomas (UST)
B.S. Management Engineering, 1990, Ateneo de Manila University
What I Did Before Law School:
After passing the Philippine bar, I worked with Punongbayan and Araullo, then affiliated with Ernst and Young, on Tax Consultancy and then with Quisumbing Torres, affiliated with Baker Mckenzie, with the Banking Finance and Tax Practice. I am currently with the Philippine Central Bank as counsel for the Office of the Deputy Governor, Supervision and Examination Sector and member of the UST Faculty of Civil Law.
Why I Chose Penn Law:
I chose Penn Law for its record and reputation of being a well-rounded law school. I particularly liked the inter-disciplinary approach in teaching law. Industries have regarded the legal profession as merely a support service. The inter-disciplinary approach integrates the study of law and makes law more responsive to the industry it serves. Penn Law offers a number of extra-curricular activities available to everyone.
My Best Experience at Penn Law:
I find the free flow of ideas in the academic environment very stimulating not only between the professors and students but even among students. I appreciate that the study of law is not fixed on the mere provisions of the law or the cases but the rationale and reason underlying these statutes and jurisprudence. Penn Law also offered a series of lectures to apprise students about significant economic developments (Wall Street crisis) and its impact on the practice of law. It is wonderful to be in the center of all these discussions at a momentous period of US history (Wall Street crisis, election of the first black president…) Moreover, the professors and administrative personnel are always most helpful to students.
Professor Who Influenced Me Most:
Perhaps Professor Friedrich Kubler who taught International Finance. He involves the whole class in discussion of the subject matter by soliciting the individual experience of students. Considering the diversity of the class (most of the students are LLM), this is a valuable opportunity to learn about other country's experience and perspective.
My Favorite Course:
Analytical Methods by David Abrams introduces a lot of concepts law students and even practitioners gloss over. He gives us exercises to ensure that we know the practical application of the concepts. While I may have had some difficulty absorbing the subject matter, I find the course very practical and useful.
My Favorite Philadelphia Moment:
Running or walking around the University campus or trail along Schuylkill River.
What I'm Most Proud Of:
Being part of Penn Law.
My Extra-Curricular Activities at Pennlaw:
Getting used to living and doing everything by myself; exploring the city; meeting new friends
My Favorite Place or Activity on the University Campus:
Place: Lippincott Library - looking out to the tree-covered walk in the University campus - provides a serene place for reflection
Activity: Having sushi with friends at Houston Hall Market

I feel terrible. I am sorely late with this weeks alphabet challenge blog post. My excuse is that I have been working solidly on indexing and editing a family history book. I have been so tired these past few days, I have barely been able to concentrate.
So, here we are at the letter E:
Two of my great-grandmothers had names starting with the letter E so it makes sense to write about them, right? That would be reasonable but, to be honest, I hardly know anything about either of them to do them proper justice here. Both of them died before I was born, one just months before.
Elizabeth was my mother's maternal grandmother. She was born in Putney, county Surrey in 1884. The daughter of a long line of gardeners, Elizabeth was the sixth child of eight born to Richard and Louisa Dare. My mother never met her grandmother Elizabeth, but had just one photograph of her which was inside her mother Lilian's photo album.
|Elizabeth Dare
"Fondest Love, Mother"
Elizabeth was particularly fond of the cinema and she would do just about anything to go. In the early twentieth century, before the advent of television, this was her only outlet from a tumultuous home life. Some family members have said she would usually take her coat to the pawnbrokers, or sometimes clothes belonging to her husband and children. This may sound cruel to some but I actually feel quite sorry for her. Being a wife and mother in Elizabeth's time would have been extremely hard. Before the age of welfare and women's rights, women like Elizabeth had to find respite wherever they could. Elizabeth's respite was the cinema.
Elizabeth's love of cinema extended to her daughter (my grandmother Lilian) and to me. One of her favourite actors was Laurence Olivier and a favourite film was Rebecca. I may not know who Elizabeth revered most in the cinema but I can well imagine her sitting in her favourite spot each week, anxiously awaiting the black screen flicker into light and sound, eager to escape into a world of imagination and fairytale.
Eva was my father's maternal grandmother. She was born in Loddon, county Norfolk in 1887. The daughter of a Painter & Glazier, Eva was the eldest child of three born to Robert and Mary Bowes. Eva was the only one of those three to marry and have children. Her brother Fred and sister Winnie lived together in Beccles. My father dearly loved his grandmother Eva, and always talks of her very fondly. She died two months before I was born.
|Eva (second from left with her daughters)
Eva was very fond of writing and in her life she wrote many letters to all of her family and also wrote articles for the Beccles Methodist Church parish magazine, of which she was a staunch member alongside her husband who was a Verger (my great-grandfather).
My grandmother Freda always believed I was an exceptional letter writer, and would constantly tell me that I took after her mother Eva. Freda always knew I would be a writer one day, bless her. When I began writing articles for a genealogy society and I told my father about it, he wistfully assured me I was following in Eva's footsteps. I did not know (or had likely forgotten) that she wrote articles for magazines. This made me feel so good inside, I can't begin to articulate what significance that has to me.
Last, but not least, my letter E blog must make mention of Emails. Without the ability to email people I would quite possibly not effectively communicate with half the people I do. All thanks to message boards, genealogy websites, or my website, I know the very lovely June, Angela, Jim, and Terry, today.
Of course, emails don't quite mean the same as a carefully handwritten letter, folded and posted and delivered to your mailbox. That is one of the many things I miss about my grandmothers. Both were keen letter writers, especially Freda. The reality is though, we live in the technological age where everything is faster, speedier and accessible on the internet. Emails are the quickest (and sometimes, only) way to communicate and "keep in touch". Without emails, I would not have half the amount of family photographs in my photo collection or have been able to share and compare the family history information that I have researched. So, thank you Emails.

ktsipouras needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 38 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
I have been working as an event and wedding planner for several years in Boston, including a NYC wedding planning firm this past year. Now I am back in Boston (where I grew up) and am so excited about launching my own company! AGAPI (meaning love in Greek) is where I came up with the name for AGAPI EVENTS.
It's all happening, and I am so excited and can't wait to get this project off the ground!
I want to capture high-end brides. The companies aesthetic tends to be geared for the more CLASSIC BRIDE (think Jackie. O!) however I hope to bring a little NYC edge to BOSTON in the events world.
Typically, my largest target audience will be a middle-upper class New England female. I also want to attract companies that have a need for an event manager on yearly Galas, fundraisers, bar-bat mitzvahs, and more.
Requirements are simple:
I am IN LOVE with the Bobbi Brown Crest and logo. I am looking for a very similar Crest with a A in the middle of it. The words AGAPI EVENTS would read below the Crest.
I want it to be clean, simple and feminine. The symbol of the crest is to represent similar institutions and companies (think Royalty, Ivy League schools, Country clubs) These are classy and simple and symbols that are universally recognized. However, I would like it to have a modern, chic and hip feel.
In the attached file (Company Logo Ideas) I love this crest as well. I like the idea of the banner below it, and this could read EVENT PLANNING. On the top of the crest there is a whale. Here, it could be a possibility to use a Pineapple. (This is the Universal symbol of hospitality.)
My idea for business cards are a black suede, and this logo would stand on its own in GOLD. I am looking for someone to PERFECT this logo idea! I think it is going to be a fun design and I want designers to have a fun time with it! All ideas are welcome! I just want the company name and EVENT PLANNING to be clearly understood in it.
Just please keep it chic, simple and classy and have fun!

How to Get the Most from Your Kickboxing Fitness Routine
A weight loss fitness routine does not mean you have to stick to the same old exercises day after day. You can enjoy a fitness routine centered around kickboxing and find that it is fun and can give you the results you have been craving. It is an amazing workout that can help you achieve your weight loss goals, and as an added push, I have a few extra tips to ensure you get the optimal results from your workout.
Take your workout seriously
This is a no brainer. You can not just go to class and watch others workout and expect to get results. You need to push yourself in a kickboxing fitness routine. It is easy for your instructors to ensure that you do not work outside of your fitness level, but you must remember not to get too comfortable. If you go to class and just stand around or perform at less than 100%, you are cheating yourself. You will never get the results you want because you are not giving it your best effort. You need to step outside of your comfort zone and go for it to really achieve the maximum from your workout.
Remember to breathe
Did you know that many people hold their breath while exercising? There are many people that breathe incorrectly while exercising. Their breathing may be too deep, shallow, fast, or slow, or as stated, not at all. Some even inhale or exhale at the wrong times, and while this may not make or break your workout, it can affect the exercise itself, how well you perform it, and your mind and body connection. Most cardio exercises require you to breathe deeply because your muscles need excess oxygen for all the energy they are using. You should also remember to exhale when you throw a punch or kick and inhale when you retract your arm or leg. It is important to time your breathing correctly to get the most out of your workouts.
Stay limber
A lot of the punches and kicks in kickboxing require you to be extremely flexible. It is important to work on your range and work to further it. Stretching is an important part of any fitness routine, but it is a necessary component of kickboxing. It would definitely be a bad idea to skip this step, especially when this step could aide you in your weight loss struggle. You want to be able to kick as high as you can because a high kick requires you to use more energy than a low kick. This extra energy means you will burn extra calories and burn more fat.
Be mindful of your stance
You should always stay focused on your form. The correct posture is important to ensure that every muscle is working at their best during your fitness routine. It can bring in your core muscles and make sure your arms, shoulders and legs are all performing each move as they should. It will help you become more fluid and confident in your movements, and if you should ever decide you want to take your routine to a more combative arena, then you will be just a little more prepared.
Kickboxing can be a fun and innovative way to add some spice to your fitness routine. The benefits alone should be enough to sway anyone. The routines are fast-paced and engaging. They may be a lot of hard work, but they are most assuredly worth it. You can come away looking and feeling better after each workout.

In a moving ceremony in front of 70,944 rain-soaked fans, Jamal Lewis was inducted into the Ravens' Ring of Honor at halftime of the their game against the Cleveland Brownson Thursday night.
The former Ravens running back was joined by Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, vice president and general manager Ozzie Newsome, Baltimore Colts Hall of Fame running back Lenny Moore and former Ravens Peter Boulware, Michael McCrary and Jonathan Ogden on the field at M&T; Bank Stadium.
In an emotional speech, Lewis thanked Ravens fans, his teammates and especially Newsome for so many memorable years in Baltiimore.
"It felt great to be out there in front of the fans and on the field — without the pads on, of course," Lewis said afterward. "But it was a great deal, just a great honor."
Lewis ranks first on the Ravens' all-time rushing list with 1,822 carries for 7,801 yards and 45 touchdowns.
He finished his 10-year NFL career ranked 21st all time with 10,607 rushing yards, and his 2,066 rushing yards in 2003 is the second-best single-season mark in league history.
Lewis said he became emotional just running through the tunnel again when he was introduced to the crowd during the pregame introductions.
"Like I said, it never gets old," he said. "I still get the goose bumps and the hairs. But the good part about it is, I didn't have to go out and suit up and play for 60 minutes."
Although he finished his career with the Cleveland Browns, Lewis said he was "always a Raven at heart" and that "it was great playing in front of these fans. It was always a live crowd, always stood behind us."

Updated: Major storm headed our way?
Things could get ... interesting ... in the next few days with weather forecasters keeping an eye on the weekend with the possibility of a major storm headed our way.
The National Weather Service's hazardous weather outlook issued this forecast Wednesday afternoon:
"A strengthening coastal low is expected to impact the area Saturday through early Sunday with widespread significant precipitation. Right now, the precipitation is forecast to be mainly rain at the coast and a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain inland. There is a possibility for significant snowfall accumulations across far interior zones.
"There is still quite a bit of uncertainty for this event though, and variations in track and magnitude will lead to changes in precipitation amounts and type."
In other words, the National Weather Service is saying, stay tuned, we could get smacked by another big storm. They're just not sure yet.

dgollas necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 85 diseños de 22 diseñadores freelance.
Avant Cast or AvantCast
We are a small company starting a castings/actors social networking site in Mexico.
We are a high tech company that is very good at the technical stuff but are lost when it comes to design.
Actors, Casting Directors, Entertainment Producers
We are looking for a simple and sophisticated logo with variations that include the brand name and just the logo for watermarks or branding.
The colors on the logo are up to you and it will define the overall use of color of the website.
The technical part of the website is already developed and is very "web 2.0" (smooth animations, panels that open up and close etc), if that helps inspire you.
Since this is a site for actors and people in the entertainment biz, you should consider using related imagery. This is NOT absolutely necessary and any inclusion of that kind of imagery should be very subtle or abstract.
Important: the logo will probably go over a colored background so nice and clean transparency channels are required.
Please stay away from gradients, glows and lens flares. Keep it simple and with nice solid outlines that work well in both high res. color and low res. B&W
The logo will be used for both web display and print (for advertising), so a nice layered psd file would do the trick, as well as a PNG file with correct transparency values.

Alfresco Opens APAC Support Center
Enables follow-the-sun Support and Enhanced Service for Asia Pacific Customers
LONDON—November 30, 2009 — Alfresco Software, Inc. today announced the opening of an Asia Pacific Support Center based in Syndey, Australia. The Support Center will commence operations in January 2010, enabling Alfresco to deliver follow-the-sun Support and offer enhanced service level agreement (SLA) of Gold and Platinum support subscriptions to its local and global customers in the APAC region.
"The Asia Pacific Support Center will complement our existing Support Centers in the US and UK. It will provide a local interface for Alfresco Enterprise subscription customers and our local SI Partners," said John Powell, CEO of Alfresco Software. "In 2009 we have experienced a growing demand for global enterprise deployments of Alfresco and can now offer follow-the-sun Support."
Heading up the APAC Support Center is Ward van Besien, who has joined Alfresco as Technical Support Manager for APAC. Previously van Besien was at PANACHE Corporation in Japan where, as CTO, he helped build the outsourcing division of PANACHE Corporation, a local IT service provider targeting multinational corporations. Van Besien brings a wealth of experience in managing customer support, outsourced services and project management. Van Besien also held the position of head of IT at UBS' investment banking division in Tokyo.
"The APAC economies are growing rapidly and we believe that an increased presence will further improve customer satisfaction, drive increased sales and contribute substantially to the growth of Alfresco in Asia," commented Ward van Besien, APAC technical support manager. "With our Support Center in Sydney I am confident we will be able to contribute to the success of Alfresco as the leading open source ECM solution as well as provide an even better level of support to our customers."
Alfresco Enterprise subscription customers in the Asia Pacific region include a wide range of industry sectors as well as education and government clients, such as Allianz Australia Services Pty Limited, Curtin University of Technology, Japanese Airlines, IT Frontier (a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation), Sensis, Sygmaxyz, and Toyota Motor Corporation Australia.
