about me
I was born 1974 in Karl-Marx-Stadt, that city is called today on his old name Chemnitz again. First contact with computers I made in the school system on a computer called KC-85. Computers played later a part of my life, I joined the german army and became a specialist for data processing in a unit that repaired electronics. After 6 years of service I left the army but not really, I served several times in the reserve forces. Actually I weared more uniform as I was a civilian. Later I became a computer scientist and work since then for a small company in my city. That company is one of the oldest companies in germany who earn her money with linux and so I became a fan of that operating system. I did several talks at events about free software, became part of the organization team of Chemnitzer Linux-Tage, organized the meetings of the local Linux user group. Later I joined RadioTux and was some years the responsible person for the program from events there. I visit many events in the year, so you can find me mostly on Chemnitzer Linux-Tage, Linuxwochen Vienna, LinuxTag, FrOSCon on Brandenburger Linux-Info-Tag and many more. About the events and many more I write a blog under Karl-Tux-Stadt
as I mentioned before I worked some years for the organization of Chemnitzer Linux-Tage. First as part of the Praxis Dr.Tux, where people got help with installations of Linux or free software or help with configurate there systems. Later I was responsible for that team. I worked also in the design team of that event and was later responsible for the whole design (visitors of that event knows a little bit what it means, there are round 500 different things who have to get styled from the program plans until neon signs). Since then I work more and more on graphic stuff, and so I do that also for fedora.
You need help with graphics, you can speak to me but please I dont like night shifts!
I also interested in free culture, so I work for OCAL and invented a kind of event in Germany where free movies are showed. I started with it on Chemnitzer Linux-Tage 2008 as event on the evening for the vistors of the event. But there was not only watching movies, I had some guests and the first event e.g. Stefan Kluge from VEB Film a group of people who did the first longer movie licensed with an Creative Commons license. And we did also something new, we tested a movie Alpha, we showed a working cut from "The Last Drug" the second movie from VEB Film. A year later I had Tim Baumann as guest and we did also an Alpha test with his movie "Valkaama". Later others copied that, so doing the KommKino in Nuremberg since 3 years interesting movie nights with Creative Commons films. I also did some talks like on LinuxTag on that topic, thats always a interesting thing. As in FLOSS involved people know free available != free, but how many knows there exists a OSI approved standard whats an Open Source Movie. I load up some of my slides about that topic to my space, its svg so its the source u can show then directly in browser and with an SVG-Editor edit, if you need it. Such a movie event can be a got thin for an end of a Launch Party or any other FLOSS event, so if you like to do that, just ask me I can help you with it.

Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award
National Basketball Association awards and honors | ||
Championship | ||
Individual awards | ||
Honors | ||
The Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award (formerly known as the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award) is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given since the 1969 NBA Finals. The award is decided by a panel of nine media members, who cast vote after the conclusion of the final round. The person with the highest votes wins the award. In at least one NBA Finals, fans balloting on NBA.com accounted for the tenth vote.[1][2] Originally, the award was a black trophy with a gold basketball-shaped sphere at the top, similar to the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, until a smaller trophy was introduced in 2005.[3][4]
Since its inception, the award has been given to 28 different players. Michael Jordan, who led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA Championships from 1991 to 1993 and 1996 to 1998, is the only player to win the award six times.[5] Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Tim Duncan all won the award three times in their career while Willis Reed, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, Hakeem Olajuwon, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James won the award twice. Jordan and O'Neal are the only players to win the award in three consecutive seasons (Jordan accomplished the feat on two separate occasions). Olajuwon, Bryant, and James have won the award in two consecutive seasons. Abdul-Jabbar is the only player to win the award for two different teams, first with the Milwaukee Bucks in 1971, then with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1985. Johnson is the only rookie ever to win the award when he won it with the Lakers in 1980.[6] Jerry West, the first ever awardee, is the only person to win the award while being on the losing team in the NBA Finals.[5] Olajuwon of Nigeria, who was a naturalized U.S. citizen since 1993, Tim Duncan of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Tony Parker of France (born in Belgium) and Dirk Nowitzki of Germany are the only four international players to win the award. Duncan is an American citizen, but is considered an "international" player by the NBA because he was not born in one of the fifty states or Washington, D.C.[7] Parker and Nowitzki are the only winners to have been trained totally outside the U.S.; Olajuwon played college basketball at Houston and Duncan at Wake Forest. Cedric Maxwell and Jo Jo White are the only two Finals MVP winners eligible for the Hall of Fame who have not been voted in.[8]
On February 14, 2009, during the 2009 NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix, NBA Commissioner David Stern announced that the award would be renamed the "Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award" in honor of 11-time NBA champion Bill Russell.[9]

Back Door to War: The Roosevelt Foreign Policy 1933-1941

This professionally prepared ebook is an electronic edition of the book that is designed for reading on digital readers like Nook, Kindle, iPad, Sony Reader, and other products including iPhone and Android smart phones. The text reflows depending on your font preferences and it contains links from navigation.
Charles Callan Tansill, one of the foremost American diplomatic historians of the twentieth century, argues that FDR wished to involve the United States in the European War that began in September 1939. When he proved unable to do so directly, he determined to provoke Japan into an attack on American territory. Doing so would involve Japan's Axis allies in war also, and we would thus enter the war through the "back door". The strategy succeeded, and Tansill maintains that Roosevelt in accord with it welcomed Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The book is based on exhaustive research in the State Department archives.

Why Elvish, Klingon, Dothraki, and Na'vi are real languages
If you've spent a couple decades studying, learning, and speaking Klingon, then you probably already know in your gut it's a real language. Linguist John McWhorter has your back.
McWhorter explains in a short Ted-Ed lesson how certain made-up languages can qualify as real languages. He investigates Elvish from "The Lord of the Rings" books and movies, Klingon from "Star Trek," Dothraki from the "Game of Thrones" world, and Na'vi from "Avatar." These all qualify as fantasy constructed languages, better known as conlangs.… Read more

In a rather pleasantly surprising move, Antonio Cesaro has earned himself a main event spot at Elimination Chamber 2014. Despite being stuck in a mid card tag team with Jack Swagger, he defeated Dolph Ziggler in a qualifying match on Smackdown this week.
Not only does Christian make his return to WWE on Smackdown this week, but the former world heavyweight champion is actually going to be receiving a nice push right off the bat. By defeating Jack Swagger, Christian earns himself a spot at Elimination Chamber 2014.
Batista won Royal Rumble 2014 by eliminating Roman Reigns in the end. Other contestants during the match were Alberto Del Rio, Alexander Rusev, Antonio Cesaro, Big E Langston, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, El Torito, Erick Rowan, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Jack Swagger, JBL, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Kane, Kevin Nash, Kofi Kingston, Luke Harper, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Ryback, Seth Rollins, Sheamus and the Miz.
Despite being involved in a high profile match at the Royal Rumble against Brock Lesnar, Big Show was removed from this week's telecast of Monday Night Raw on Hulu. WWE did not feel that his match against Jack Swagger was important enough for the shortened version.
While he has finished serving his punishment for the DUI arrest, WWE is said to be rather upset with Jack Swagger because he cannot travel into Canada for shows because of those legal issues. He was forced to miss a recent show in Montreal.
In an attempt to steal the show, Cody Rhodes climbed to the top of the steel cage during a live event in Madison Square Garden this week and delivered a flying moonsault during a tag team match featuring Goldust, Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger.
Jack Swagger is almost done with his six months probation sentence that stemmed from his DUI arreste earlier in the year. The belief was that WWE refused to push him during tha time, so it will be interesting to see what management does now.
There were plans over the weekend to put the WWE Tag Team Championship on Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro during the fatal four way match at TLC. No word on why management changed their minds and kept the belts on Cody Rhodes and Goldust.
Cody Rhodes and Goldust retained the WWE Tag Team Championship at TLC. Curtis Axel and Ryback were elminated first, followed by Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesario. Big Show and Rey Mysterio were eliminated when Cody pinned Mysterio.
There are still plans within WWE to turn Antonio Cesaro into a baby face. It was supposed to have happened already, but the creative department simply has not found the time nor a suitable story to break him away from Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger.
Roman Reigns was made to look like the featured attraction, as the Shield member picked up the win for his team against Rey Mysterio and his squad.
Rey Mysterio made his surprise return on Monday Night Raw during the main event to reveal that he is the mystery partner during the big tag team match at Survivor Series.
On Monday Night Raw, Miz turned heel on Kofi Kingston by walking away from his partner during a tag team match against Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro.
Daniel Bryan, Chris Jericho, Kane, Mark Henry and Randy Orton all stepped into the steel cage at Elimination Chamber 2013, but it was Jack Swagger, accompanied by Zeb Colter, who victoriously walked away from the event with a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship.
Alberto Del Rio won Royal Rumble 2011 by last eliminating Santino Marella. Other participants in the match include Alex Riley, Big Show, Booker T, Bray Wyatt, Chavo Guerrero, Chris Masters, CM Punk, Curtis Axel, Daniel Bryan, David Otunga, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Ezekiel Jackson, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Hornswoggle, Jack Swagger, John Cena, John Morrison, JTG, Justin Gabriel, Kane, Kevin Nash, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Mason Ryan, R Truth, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Sheamus, Ted DiBiase, Tyler Reks, Tyson Kidd, Vladimiz Kozlov, Wade Barrett, William Regal, Yoshi Tatsu and Zack Ryder.
Edge won Royal Rumble 2010 by last eliminating John Cena. The other contestants in the match include Batista, Beth Phoenix, Big Show, Carlito, Chris Jericho, Chris Masters, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Evan Bourne, Great Khali, Jack Swagger, John Morrison, JTG, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, MVP, R Truth, Shawn Michaels, Shelton Benjamin, Ted DiBiase, The Miz, Triple H, Yoshi Tatsu and Zack Ryder.

Dickie V has no Duke bias? ARE YOU SERIOUS!
Over three decades of broadcasting, Dick Vitale has built a reputation as one of the most enthusiastic announcers in sports. For better and worse. Vitale's greatest strength is his weakness. He's such a great ambassador and spokesman for college basketball and such a fan of the game (and beyond Vitale the broadcaster is a likable and charitable fellow who interacts with fans and critics on Twitter) that he's no longer a college basketball analyst, but a college basketball advocate. He has faced more criticism in recent years because, much like Chris Berman, his television personality has remained unchanged for a generation.
Dick Vitale has built another reputation too - as a massive Duke homer. That's a reputation that wasn't just randomly assigned to Dick Vitale, it's been earned over decades of fawning over Mike Krzyzewski, how Duke is somehow morally superior to the rest of college basketball, their fans, their school, their city, and even the Duke of Wellington and other famous Dukes throughout history.
Ben Cohen of the Wall Street Journal wanted to put Dukie V's reputation to the test and see just how biased Vitale was towards the Dukies during five college basketball telecasts. Surprisingly, Vitale was negligibly more positive towards Duke than their opponents. Here's a selection of Cohen's findings:

He drew a parallel between commodity stock excitement today and Internet stock excitement six years ago. I did not take his meaning to be that they are identical manias but he sees similarities. I think the magnitude is much less than six years ago but he made an excellent point that stands up right now.
He talked about secondary and tertiary names making moves higher on speculation. The idea here is that investors are buying lower quality names to chase returns. In that sense it is like the tech boom. Too much invested in these types of stocks could have a very bad ending.
I hadn't thought about it before, but a friend of mine is doing just that, chasing returns. He tells me all the time about all these Canadian stocks he is trading. I'm sure he is making money but I don't know if he learned anything from the tech wreck in which he got torched.
A 1 percent weight in a couple of very speculative commodity stocks will not crush a portfolio but there will be, if there aren't already, a lot of investors with way too much in these low quality names.
For anecdotal evidence, watch the Nasdaq/Amex ticker on CNBC and you will see all sorts Amex listed mining stocks going by. The number of trades in these things is very high. Watch out.

So true. Already seeing interest in the $1-$2 range. You can hear the freight train comming...and it is also helpful to remember that Cisco went from $64 to $8 or so....does this mean XOM could do the same? Worth pondering.
g - 2:00 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
XOM to $8. Never, Impossible, Energy is different.
I will say that energy is only 10% of the market down from 30% 25 years ago.
Not to say evolving into something like the tech bubble can't happen.
Another point would be that blowups of that magnitude have never occurred so close to each other but who can say for sure? - 2:01 PM

Deutche Bank's commodity ETF started trading last Friday (ticker DBC.) They will be perpetually long crude, heating oil, aluminum, gold, wheat, and corn, but have enough of their assets invested in debt instruments to yield about 3% after mgmt. fees. What do you think about this ETF?

Is not commodities driven by demand in China and India?
Check out the list of Chinese cities with more than 1 million people, how many have you heard of?
Scroll down to #30 or so, that is Los Angeles!
Even with a slow-down it is hard to understand how demand would slow in these markets unless there is some complete reversal to non-market economy. - 2:48 PM

Roger: your friend's comparison will surely be 'spot on'...
... someday
(maybe 5 or 10 years from now).
Despite the inevitable booms and busts that will no doubt accompany this commodities bull (which has probably just got under way -- leg one, in Dow Theory) -- just ask yourself: how many bbls of oil or bcf of NG could you buy for the current mkt. cap of GOOG -- and which would you rather have come 2010...?
Those who think that the future will always be just like the past (most wall street forcasters included) -- low rates eternal, a peaceful world, climbing nasdaq stocks as far as the eye can see... -- may soon be dancing over the rainbow's edge... - 3:04 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
DBC, for now is a good way to capture the effect. It is a first to market type of product and I expect (hope?) subsequent offerings could be better.
Alex the average; I have been investing around this very them for three and half years now, I'm as on board as anyone.
Too much of anything no matter how great or obvious takes on a lot of risk. Look at it from the what can go wrong aspect. Any theme can unravel. - 3:08 PM
- Anonymous said...
Speaking of tech, Roger, what do you think of the sector currently? Too me, it looks alot like SP500, mediocre, sort of standard industrial growth.
But I don't know if the valuations are attractive in relation to that kind of growth profile, or whether it's still high? What do you think Roger?
BTW, I agree that when secondary and tertiary issues start seeing great growth, it's a sign to be somewhat cautious of the sector. OTOH, many years of underinvestment allows for a lot of additional investment befor e the sector becomes overvalued. Two contrary thoughts.

I am big on commodities but I have started to notice somthing similar to your friends recently: more people are talking about it and even people with limited stock or ETF experience. When the taxi driver will start to talk to you about commodities, it will be time to reallocate. Long-term prospect is still very good but short/medium-term, some people might want to take profits at some point.
- George said...
Vincent may have a good point.
I saw the headline for this piece was "Quality"...and after reading many pundits recommending quality stocks in here, I thought I's look at a few.
Have you guys noticed the downward trend in JNJ, GE, KO, and many other "Quality" names??
Makes me wonder.\
g - 10:25 AM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
My only point was abotu chasing returns in a hot sector with lesser quality names. It was in no way a clarion call to go overweight mega caps.
- George said...
No, no...I was wandering if anybody thought it weird that the mega cap high quality names were going down, with so many ( not Roger ) advocating overweighting this area.

"Very convenient location, but it can be noisy"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 24, 2013
I choose this hotel every time I need to stay in Oakland as it is close to all the places I need to go during the day and it offers good dinner places at walking distance for the evening. However, noises from the street can be quite loud if you are accommodated on a street view room. The staff is always very nice and friendly.

"An oasis in Oakland"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 17, 2013
The Clarion in downtown Oakland is in the commercial downtown of Oakland, what is left of it. It is near the old Oakland Tribune building, the University of California system headquarters, and BART. Rooms are relatively small, but adequate. Staff attention and service is excellent. A small maintenance problem in the room was handled well. I have stayed at the Clarion three times over two years and will return in due course

Va. Tech officer will be first on National Law Enforcement Memorial
Monday - 4/23/2012, 9:09am  ET
WASHINGTON - The Virginia Tech University police officer killed during a campus shooting last year will be the first fallen officer honored with an engraving on a national memorial this year.
The panel that features Officer Deriek Crouse's name will be unveiled at the National Law Enforcement Memorial during a ceremony in D.C. Thursday, said Steve Groeninger, spokesman for the memorial.
Crouse was killed when 22-year-old Ross Truett Ashley walked up to him on Virginia Tech's Blacksburg campus and fatally shot him. Ashley was found a short time later, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The annual event at the National Law Enforcement Memorial is the symbolic beginning of the engraving process for the names of the fallen men and women in blue.
In all, 362 names will be added, Groeninger says.
"All of the names will continue the engraving process for a number of weeks," Groeninger said.
The formal dedication ceremony will take place in May.

As former Rep. Anthony Weiner mulls over whether to enter this year's mayor race, he is finding plenty of work as a consultant.
Since resigning from Congress over a scandal resulting from his lewd Twitter posts in 2011, Weiner has worked for more than a dozen companies.
Weiner said he has spoken with federal officials and members of Congress on his clients' behalf, but claims his work does not count as lobbying.
He and his wife, a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, earned nearly a half-million dollars last year, mostly from his work.

"I've been at Threshold for 18 years, but my job is always exciting and new because of the different students I meet each year. As a Vocational Advisor, I enjoy finding appropriate worksite placements for students based on their interests, skills, and experience. I also teach the course, Computer Applications, to first-year students. Students advance at their own pace since their range of abilities is quite diverse. It's wonderful to observe how the students progress at work and in class."

The quickest way to update your eye makeup? Swap your black eyeliner for a rich colored one. stila's smudge stick liners are gorgeously wearable and come in a variety of rich shades that make eyes pop. There's Purple Tang, a blackish aubergine; Moray, a golden olive; Peacock, a shimmery azure; Blue Ribbon, a deep cerulean; and Lionfish, a chestnut brown. Better yet, the liners are waterproof and stay vibrant all day.
This is literally the best eyeliner ever. EVER. I absolutely love it. It goes on so smooth, gives a great dark black color, it's not that light faded looking black like some other eyeliners, and since it's waterproof, it stays on forever. I don't know how else to describe this as just simply the best, and I recommend it for everyone. (Just keep in mind that it is waterproof and really needs a good makeup remover to get off.)
Long lasting and it can be used for so many different looks. Smoky eye or just use without smudging. The blue is brilliant. B
Love love love this! Goes on great and super pigmented. Only issue is smudging. Make sure to use a eye primer to keep this product in place
The slight sparkle in the chestnut Lionfish color is fun, fresh, but age appropriate if you are over 30. It really makes my amber eyes lighten up and pop. It goes on well and stays on well, but it's the color that really has me gaga.
I bought the moray green and love it . The other thing I like about this eyeliner is no sharpening the pencil. The one problem I have is you don't know when you're going to run out.
Stila smudge sticks are one of my favorite products. I keep several colors in my makeup kit at all times. They are easy to apply, and I don't feel they are tugging on the soft tissue around my eyes when I work with them.
I love this eyeliner. It doesn't smudge, the wear is long and the variety of colors is extensive! My favorite is Spice for everyday wear.
I love Stila products and was excited to receive this eyeliner. It was ok. I loved the fun colors but I feel it does not stay on well even when applied over primer.
The purple is really pretty and sparkly. It goes on smoothly and blends well. Great for that smokey look and I'm picky about these types of eyeliners.
This is my favorite eyeliner. I recommend putting some sheer powder on your eyelids before applying if you're like me and tend to get a little oily on your eyelids. The makeup spreads into my eye lid crease if I don't do this. Other than that it lasts all day and glides on smooth. Also, make sure you replace the cap. It does dry out if not covered.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- She easily would have stumped the panelists on the vintage TV show "What's My Line?" In an era when most working women were teachers, secretaries or shop clerks, she worked for the federal government as a cartographer.
For 30 years, in a building with blacked-out windows, she made hand-drawn, top-secret maps used by foot soldiers in such conflicts as Korea and Vietnam.
When man first photographed the moon, she mapped that, too.
Sworn to silence for 60 years, she didn't tell one soul about her work, not even her husband.
She recently received a Remember Me Award from the West Virginia Health Association.
She's 89.
"I grew up six miles south of Scotsville, Ky., in Petroleum. My father was a pharmacist and the postmaster. We had this little country store, the Petroleum Mercantile and Drug Co. It was big for the community. It had a drug store, but it was like going into a big place to shop instead of just a drug store.
"It had everything you would expect as far as groceries go. The women would come and get material to make a new dress. We had one of those brown rolls of paper to fold their clothes in.
"I was there all the time. When customers would come in to buy something, my daddy would say, 'You know where they are, go get them.'
"During the Depression, my dad took care of a lot of people. Everybody respected him.
"We were close to the grade school and high school. Now all the schools have been boarded up. Our house burned. Several houses burned. They were struck by lightning. We didn't have any fire department.
"Everyone would go to Western Kentucky, a teachers college. Who thought you would do anything else? You were just going to get married.
"A lot of people were getting married before the men went overseas. Nobody had big weddings. I met Edgar in college. We got married in 1944 and he went to war immediately. I taught for two years until he got back and then four years more. We were married for 67 years.
"One Sunday afternoon, we visited a friend in Louisville. I was going to Nashville the next day to go to Peabody and get more of a degree. I only had two years. This other boy had come to Louisville to take an art course.
"He mentioned this job with a map-making agency. He thought I would like it. He called me the next day in Nashville and said if I wanted that job, I'd better get back because they were hiring. The next morning, I went back to Louisville on the Greyhound bus.
"I got the job. That was 1952. Coming in just off the street, I had to take a test, but not much of one. It was top-secret work. We were based in the post office downtown. They occasionally had an open house, and a few people got to go in, but my husband and daughter never did.
"The windows on the ninth floor were blacked out. There were high-powered cameras at the telephone company across the street, and they didn't want anybody looking at what we were working on. I wasn't allowed to tell anybody anything.

37.5cl bottle to gueuze glass
Vintage: "Ref A x 2013"
A: Clear medium gold. Half (bubbly off-white) fingernail head on soft pour.
S: Smells of barnyard, funk, hay, and cobbwebbs. Touch of lemon and oak. Decent.
T: Taste follows smell, but is very soft, dull, and boring. Touch of funk, lemon, and must, but needs some age to "grow up".
M: Light bodied with medium carbonation.
O: Okay, but not great. Needs some age.

3.8/5 rDev -11.6%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75
375ml bottle poured into a wine glass. No freshness date on the bottle, but the cork reads Ref B x 2013.
Appearance: Pours a copper orange color with less than a finger of a white soapy head that settles into a lasting ring. Body is lightly hazy with some visible sediment. Minimal visible carbonation.
Smell: Lemon, barnyard funk, musty, green apple, lightly herbal, oak. Aroma complex but not incredibly strong. Nice balance between bright lemony citrus and funk.
Taste: Starts with a low acidic carbonation upfront followed by notes of lemon, green apple, barnyard funk with a light herbal bitterness that lingers after the finish.
Mouthfeel: Light/medium bodied and crisp with low to medium levels of fine but aggressive carbonation. Finishes very dry.
Overall: A good gueuze though not one of my favorites. It's worth a try, but there are better gueuze options out there.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
375ml bottle, 2014 cork. Poured into a Cantillon degustation glass today, 2/6/2014.
Review #425.
App- Hazy light copper body, on the darker side for a geueze. One finger white head, good filmy retention, bits of lacing.
Smell- Lemon, grape skins, sharp cheese, oak, a bit of barnyard funk, a dash of black pepper. Good complexity, good strength.
Flavour- smells better than it tastes. More oak and barnyard funk above the lemon and grape skins. Not tannic at all. Backend is remniscent of orange peel.
Mouthfeel- Medium body, well carbonated, refreshing and crisp. Finishes nice and dry. Drinkable as given for the style.
Overall- Very nice shelf geueze, good complexity and a bit of funk. Would like more funk, but this is not too far from Tilquin in my opinion.

4.01/5 rDev -6.7%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance- Pours up a good amount of head which seems to have okay retention. The head is a pure cotton white while the body is a murky pale to medium amber that appears as a glowing but hazy pale amber when held up to the light.
Nose- Starts off with a strong tartness and acetic acid. Followed by straw, then slight fruit esters of cherry and strawberry. Some lemon. Nice funkiness that recalls both stinky cheeses and the barnyard. Swirling doesn't add anything to the picture.
Taste- Starts off with definite tartness, vinegar, and acetic acid. However, seems a little rounder than the Belgian gueuzes that are higher up in the rankings. Good range of fruit esters that range from cherry and strawberry to orange and lemon. Light notes of funkiness, straw, and ripe cheese on the finish. This beer could probably use some age and definitely lacks the complexity of the Big 3 of Belgian gueuzes: Cantillion, Tilquin, and Drie Fonteinen. Even strikes me as a little thin (but mostly in comparison). This is pretty manageable for a sour beer. Slight woody bitterness. Good presence with excellent balance and integration. Could use a little more complexity but nonetheless, this is a really good beer. Definitely not great like the other three. Much more delicate than the other three. Some vinous notes and a little bit of white grape. I could see white wine drinkers being a fan of this. Slight honey.
Mouthfeel- Between light and medium bodied with nice carbonation that has a little bit of zing. Nice dry finish keeps this beer neat and simple.
Drinkability- This is incredibly easygoing for a sour. I don't know if I've become acclimated to sours but this just doesn't have the Lactobacillus bit that I'm used to.
Overall- Really, good beer and pretty much deserving of its ranking. It does retail about the same as those three other gueuzes I keep mentioning so I would probably grab one of those over this beer. Tilquin is pretty much always available. Definitely worth a try- even for someone who has difficulty with sours.

While not fancy these type 1's are the easiest to stow when space is so precious on a boat. They fit everyone including the 300 pounders and as a captain I have to have them. If you need type 1s on board I definately recommend this style.

Innovative 3 in 1 game peripheral and office chair
Article Summary
September 22, 2005 Some of the most beautiful automobiles in history have come from the Turin area of Italy so it's fitting that this quite innovative racing cockpit peripheral for PC and games platforms such as Sony's PS2 should emanate from Turin-based design consultancy MoveTech. The basic idea is that the solidly built and fully adjustable GTC COCKPIT transforms into a beautiful leather-covered office chair and the frame transforms into a TV stand. We're not so sure about the TV stand idea but the office chair offers all the same adjustability as an upmarket chair and at 350 Euro, it seems a genuine bargain.
