Judged: 7 7 7 You may think your opinion is law, it is not. California currently recognizes 18,000 same sex couples, if you didnt know that before... go look it up, it does. No marriages were revoked, they just stopped issuing new licenses They specifically did not revoke old licenses I am not giving you an opinion; I am telling you a fact Whether you are ignorant of the fact or not, does not change the fact |
Judged: 8 8 8 Big D*..*, I won in the majority of Blue eyes, now Prop.*8* rules and the former things that have now passed away are made anew with the revocation of all prior okie dokies. |
Judged: 7 7 7 Everyone understands now that you are unaware of the fact You dont have to keep repeating it, this isnt an argument. They are recognized by the state, that is not a question. You are unaware they are recognized, we got that. |

Judged: 7 7 7 The Act was proposed by means of the initiative process. It was authored by the state senator William "Pete" Knight and is known informally as the Knight initiative. Voters adopted the measure on March 7, 2000 with 61% in favor to 39% against.[1] This large margin of victory surprised many, since a Field Poll immediately prior to the election estimated support at only 53%, with 40% against and 7% undecided.[2] The Act added Section 308.5 of the Family Code, which read "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California". Because the Act was an ordinary statute, it could be struck down if it were inconsistent with the state constitution. This occurred on May 15, 2008 when the state supreme court, ruling on In re Marriage Cases, declared that same-sex couples had a constitutional right to marry.[3] This 43 decision invalidated Proposition 22 and some related California laws. Despite the brevity of Proposition 22 (it added only fourteen words to the Family Code) its effect provoked debate long after its passage. In November 2008 California voters overturned the In re Marriage Cases decision by approving an amendment of the state constitution called Proposition 8. |

Tokyo, Japan
Nippon Budokan
April 13, 1979
This is the first of two nights in Tokyo, at the beginning of what would be their longest tour of Japan, consisting of 15 dates.
During a TV interview the next day, based on this show Brian May points out that their Japanese audience is maturing, listening to the music more than they used to.
The famous photo for the front cover of Live Killers was taken at the end of one of the Japanese shows, and the fifth picture above (taken by Koh Hasebe and found in a 1979 Japanese book called "Queen 02 Archive Book Guide") was snapped right around that moment. The other pictures could also be from any show on the tour, the second of which was submitted by Alessio Rizzitelli.

This "Hero Of The Week" series puts the Nashville Predators season in an interesting perspective, as it seems to show how a different guy steps up at different times throughout the campaign. For a while, Jordin Tootoo was the hottest hand in the lineup. Pekka Rinne, of course has his periods of domination. Martin Erat has been an especially reliable performer of late, and Sergei Kostitsyn put together one of the hottest goal-scoring streaks we've seen in a while earlier this month.
This last week, it was Mike Fisher's turn to shine, as he led the Predators to a 2-0 record. First, he scored twice against Columbus in a 4-1 victory on home ice (including the 1st GooGoo Goal in franchise history), then added the game winner in a 3-1 triumph at Chicago to send Nashville into the All-Star break as the hottest team in the league.
My favorite of his three goals came in the Chicago game, off a nice kick-pass assist from Patric Hornqvist:
He's currently riding a four-game scoring streak with four goals and assist since January 19th, and has 5 goals with 7 assists in his last 10 games. Can Fisher keep things rolling, and make a run at his career-best numbers of 25 goals and 53 points in a season?

EditorialCentral London around Aldwych, The Strand will be pretty much a no go area with a large-scale terror attack simulation taking place at the disused Aldwych station. The concerns over how secure the London 2012 Olympics will be, are now growing, with ever more signs that home grown jihadist, civil disorder may tarnish the image of London internationally, and derail the hopes of LOCOG that the London Olympics will be a success.
The number of security personnel on the streets of London during the Olympics, either the near the Olympic venues, or central London will be unprecedented, with all holiday cancelled for officers and staff for the Met during the Olympics. Army reservists, special services from the UK, US, Israel, France and other nations working closely to monitor potential threats.The big fear is that a "lone wolf" attack, ie an individual, possibly part of a "sleeper cell" may launch an attack on London on one of our main transport links i.e. the underground. This will have devastating impact, hence why the Met Police have launched a new campaign across London for all of us to report even minor things if we think actions of individuals are suspicious.It's important that London 2012 goes well, without major security issues, for about four weeks every single media outlet in the world will be focusing on London, we need to have all Londoners fully prepared.

Mozongi is the work that choreographer Zab Maboungou is reviving to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her Montreal dance company, Nyata Nyata. Variously staged with three, four or five dancers since its première in 1997, Mozongi will be presented for the first time next week with seven dancers, just as Maboungou originally envisioned it. So what took her so long?

I am a Canadian citizen who always liked what Canada stood for. I was born in Austria at the end of the Second World War and spend the first 18 years of my life there. After the war, Austria taught tolerance and acceptance of religion and race. We all know what happened during the war. A few years later, I went to South Africa to live; being too young, I was unaware of apartheid. Once there and seeing it in action, I quickly left.

Analytic valuation formulas for range notes and an affine term structure model with jump risks
We derive analytic valuation formulas for range accrual notes and spread range accrual notes under an affine term structure model with jump risks. We show that the value of a range accrual note can be significantly affected by the choice of interest rate model and the arrival intensity of jump risks. We also show that misuse of the correlation between reference rates of a spread range accrual note may lead traders and risk managers to mispricing of the note.Download Info

cooling pad reasonable pricePros: For price $ 7.99 after rebate this items is okay to buy.Convenient shape for cooler and slightly sloping shape and larger fan inside and it is quite. For This price I will definitely buy again. Cons: I have used several brand- Antec, Syaba and Coolmaster and problem with cooler for all brand is that it stop working within 4-6 month. I bought Syba Cooler which lasted few week. Most of case fan inside cooler will not die but power cable or power connection to fan will die. Other Thoughts: Notebook cooler manufacturer should make power cable USB A to USB A type so that Power cable can be replaced easily and cooler will not die. Cooler is must if we keep laptop on laps. Did you find this review helpful? |
WorksPros: light Cons: I've had better, but it does the job! Did you find this review helpful? |
an excellent choicePros: single, large fan cools entire laptop while remaining near silent. Cons: no 'lip' or 'stop' to prevent laptop from sliding if tilted. therefore the rubber feet beneath your laptop must make contact to prevent sliding. Other Thoughts: overall an excellent choice at this price point. Did you find this review helpful? |

Release Notes: A feature for redirecting a webring that has moved to some other Ringlink system has been added. Automatic notifications are now sent to the ringmaster when the third site gets activated. Various other minor tweaks were made.
Release Notes: The speed when updating the ring statistics and resetting the stats has been increased. This may be useful for larger Ringlink systems, but presupposes that the server allows for forking multiple child processes.
Release Notes: This release includes an easy way to authenticate to a mail server when the SMTP option for sending email messages has been chosen. Also, prevention of certain redundant search engine listings has been added.
Release Notes: This release includes a feature in 'Ring management' for submitting a ring to the Ringlink Webring Directory via a prefilled form. You get instant access to the 'Site admin' menu after having added a new site. There are also a couple of security and performance fixes.
Release Notes: The method for printing the output has been changed, aiming to make it easier to integrate Ringlink with PHP supported sites, or other sites consisting of program-generated pages.
Release Notes: An option was added for a ringmaster to download backup files in .tar[.gz/.Z] format. It's useful for those ringmasters who host their rings on Unix platform systems without access to the zlib compression library.
Release Notes: This version was released with those users in mind, who run Ringlink on web hosts whose SMTP server and/or sendmail are too restrictively configured, or libwww-perl or the zlib compression library is missing. Accordingly, now you can still run the program without inadequate pages being displayed.
Release Notes: This release includes features to facilitate the moving of Web rings between different Ringlink installations.
Release Notes: This release comes with a platform independent backup option for the system owners. Additionally, a ringmaster can backup the data for his/her ring.
Release Notes: Permissions of program-generated directories and files are now controlled via the config file. The file extension of the executables can now be changed.

As someone who has lived in Dallas for over 30 years, I loved this book. It really captured the feeling of the city and
the culture of Texas, and was an amazing love story to boot.
I do, however, have a major problem with the choice to include on the inside cover, "JFK ESCAPES ASSASSINATION,
FIRST LADY ALSO OK", an insert of a newspaper article from the Dallas Times Herald.
Is this not one of the biggest spoilers in the history of literature?
As you whom have read the book already know, this exact headline comes true and appears in the book later.
Why reveal what is going to happen on the inside cover of a novel? Why put a spoiler in the front of the book?
Does anyone agree?
Yours truly,

Definition: Remnant lipoproteins are particles very similar to LDL, or "bad" cholesterol and are made up of more cholesterol than protein in their structure. These particles include very low-density lipoproteins (vldl) and intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL).
Studies are finding remnant lipoproteins to have the ability to contribute to atherosclerosis, the formation of thick plaques in the arteries that could result in heart disease. Remnant lipoproteins can be reduced by cholesterol-lowering medications such as statins, fibrates, and niacin.

Filler material for overshemed woodstock?

Re: Filler material for overshemed woodstock?
More about epoxy/sawdust filler. I save sawdust from my bandsaw in an old coffee can. It's more like saw chips than dust. Epoxy permeates the fine chips. I don't know of any advantage in powdery fineness.
I have used this to do major fills, easily quarter inch and more. To economize on glue, I will roughly fit in a piece of solid wood and just fill around it. The epoxy mix is stronger than the wood it is used with, usually. Sometimes shotgun recoil knocks out a bit chip at the receiver interface. I fill it with my mix but to keep it from chipping out again, I put in a couple of pegs to take strain off the interface of mix to stock. Important in this case is to put in a sheet of plastic between the fill and the receiver and remove after. Otherwise your fill repair will have a better fit than the rest of the wood and take all the recoil.
Color wise, epoxy is tolerant of most anything other than water base. I have used leather dye (dye, not wax polish), oil paint, acrylic, artists powders, etc. to improve color matcdh. Tiny amounts added usually give good results. Add a lot and you begin to affect the strength of the glue mix, which may or not be important to a fill job.

On Tuesday, National nonprofit group Reconnecting America released a new report on programs that provide funding for transit oriented development (TOD) projects."There are so many innovative programs in the U.S. that provide grants, loans, tax credits or direct financial incentives to TOD plans or projects," said Sarah Kline, Reconnecting America's policy director. "This report can be used as a resource by planners and policy-makers who are creating new TOD programs in their own jurisdiction and who will benefit from learning the essential facts about other programs that operate at similar scales and contexts."The scope of this effort was not to compile all policies that support TOD, such as zoning codes, joint development policies or authorizing legislation, but rather to inventory ongoing, institutionalized programs that provide direct funding or financial incentives. The report provides information on 41 programs, including 17 state-level, 15 regional and transit agencies, and nine local programs, according to a statement released by the nonprofit group. "I applaud Reconnecting America's policy team for putting together this document," said Reconnecting America's President/CEO John Robert Smith. "We recognize that these programs change frequently and there will never be a 'final' compilation of TOD programs, but this snapshot should give readers a helpful understanding of the types of policies that exist."Programs that provide grants, loans, tax credits, or direct financial incentives to TOD projects or plans have been sorted into three categories:
Planning - Funds to conduct corridor, district or station-area TOD planning.
Implementation - Funds for construction of projects or infrastructure in a TOD district.
Property Acquisition - Funds dedicated to acquiring property or land banking in locations near transit.The report, "2010 Inventory of TOD Programs: A National Review of State, Regional and Local Programs that Fund Transit-Oriented Development Plans and Projects," includes three recommendations regarding TOD funding programs.
Reconnecting America's report displays the notable variety that exists in TOD programs across the U.S. today. This variety is largely due to the different political landscape, challenges, strengths, development market and key players that exist in each state, region or locality.
Recognizing that TOD programs change and are adopted frequently, Reconnecting America aims to use the content from this report to develop an interactive web tool that will include a broader set of policies and can be updated by users, to ensure ongoing accuracy.

I wore an old pair of low-waisted jeans on Sunday and was immediately reminded of their sartorial horror--of the years of sitting with my underwear (and worse) sticking out, desperately trying to make my cotton tees stretch just one more inch over my flesh. It made me feel so grateful for the high-waisted trend, for clothing that makes one feel pulled in and snug. So grateful, in fact, that I want to go even higher--perhaps with skirts that rise up to just below my chest. I remember trying this before, in like eighth grade, and it being a slight disaster, but I'm confident I'd do better this time. The first item I found on eBay was this cashmere piece from Alexander Wang, which I think would basically be like a comfy sweater for your rear. I also like this sexy, structured look by Tsubi, and wouldn't this shimmery brocade skirt look pretty at a holiday party?

Total Economic Impact Study Reveals Potential Client ROI of 338% for Publishers Using PubMatic Platform
Study Also Details Incremental Revenue Growth and Mobile Monetization Opportunities for Supply Side Platforms
NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PubMatic, the digital media platform for publishers, will announce the results of an October 2013 commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of PubMatic, entitled "The Total Economic Impact of PubMatic." The research shows a three-year risk adjusted return on investment (ROI) of 338% for publishers using PubMatic's platform, among other findings. Guest speaker, Forrester Total Economic Impact Senior Consultant Reggie Lau, will discuss the study today at PubMatic's client and industry thought leadership conference - Ad Revenue 6.
The goal of the study was to examine the total economic impact and potential ROI that publishers may realize by deploying PubDirect, PubMatic's solution suite to maximize monetization of digital assets across sales channels. In this study, PubMatic launched each publisher's digital sales strategies, from concept to execution. Publishers interviewed by Forrester Consulting concluded that to drive revenue goals, they needed to amplify demand through RTB, build out programmatic direct sales, and acquire data and insights that could help them achieve higher eCPMs. Using PubDirect, all publishers involved in the study experienced a significant pricing lift and higher fill rate.
In order to produce the study, Forrester Consulting conducted in-depth interviews with four PubMatic clients to obtain data on costs, benefits and risks, and created a composite organization from which to do the ROI analysis. In addition to the three-year risk adjusted ROI, the topline results of that analysis are as follows:
- ROI gains were generated less than one month after platform adoption
- Up to 4x CPM lift of premium inventory utilizing Private Marketplace (PMP) over open-market RTB
- And up to 50% lift in discretionary inventory eCPM through open-market RTB over a three-year period.
Forrester Consulting also found that 60% of this ROI benefit was incremental PMP, 28% incremental open-market RTB, 6% from relationship management efficiency, and another 6% from incremental mobile.
"We're proud that our industry-best technology, customer support, and Human API enable publishers to drive significant revenue and increase the value of their eCPMs," said Kirk McDonald, President of PubMatic. "It's no longer a complete strategy to segment your approach to inventory management; companies must evolve and think holistically in their approach or risk falling behind."
To read the full study, please go to: http://www.pubmatic.com/reports-and-whitepapers.php
The release of the Forrester Total Economic Impact Study follows a period of dramatic growth for PubMatic, including the launch of the company's most recent product, PubConnect, a new suite of technology solutions that provide publishers with the ability to join together and establish consortiums, leverage access to new inventory, expand audience reach and open up entirely new revenue streams.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I think the real news here is that Blizzard has finally returned to the *-Stalker naming convention for the hunter sets.
I mean, I was okay with the Tier 9 "Windrunner", since all the armor sets that tier were named after NPCs. But then we had such a series of stupid names without a Stalker in sight.
I'm glad that Blizzard finally realized that sticking with tradition is important.

Scottish Veterans LX Hockey Club
Home page of the Scottish Veterans LX Hockey Club, for Scottish hockey players over the age of 60. The Club manages the National teams for Over 60s (Grand Masters) and Over 65s (Great Grand Masters). It fields teams under the Scottish Thistles banner at home and abroad.
Thistles at the Mussel Festival
A depleted Scottish Thistles squad took part in the Mussel Festival in Hellevoetsluis, Netherlands on 10 October 2013, led by Alan Parker. On the evening before the tournament, a combined Scottish Thistles/HC Voorne side played out a creditable 2-2 draw with the German Over 70s squad.
European Cup in Belgium
In the 2013 European Cup held in Kontich, Belgium in August 2013, Scotland Over 60s cruised to fifth place on goal difference over Wales by beating Italy 8-1 in their final match, while the Over 65s ended their campaign with a 0-0 draw against Wales, finishing fifth behind their opponents on goal difference after Italy were disqualified.
Scottish Thistles win fair play award in Dragons Festival
Scottish Thistles had a great time in Swansea in the last weekend in July 2013, reserving their best performances for the Sunday, when they drew 1-1 with Midlands and beat Black Dragons 1-0. On the way, they won the fair play award - a recycled bottle of 'Famous Scotland LX' whisky, consumption of which on the Saturday night obviously set up their improved performances on the Sunday.
Silver for 65s in 2013 Home Nations
Scotland Over 60s and Over 65s travelled to Wales to compete against England and Wales for the 2013 Home International Championship at Swansea Bay Hockey Club over the weekend of Friday 28 - Sunday 30 June. In the opening match of the tournament, Scotland Over 65s dominated Wales but went behind in the last quarter to a goal from the only Welsh short corner of the match. Intense Scottish pressure finally told when Bryce levelled the scores with a short corner goal in the dying minutes to make the final score 1-1.
Scotland Over 60s had a tough task on Saturday 29 June with two matches starting with a morning game against England, ending in a 4-0 defeat. They finished the tournament going down in a 5-3 defeat by Wales to leave England and Wales to fight it out for the Linburn Trophy on Sunday 30 June - England duly took the honours with a comfortable victory. The Over 65s put up a superb display against England on Sunday 30 June, holding them to 1-0 until the final stages before losing two more goals to finish 3-0 losers, still good enough for second place on goal difference over Wales, who had conceded seven without reply to the English.
"Over 70s" pipped at the post in Durham
A reduced complement of five genuine over 70s supplemented by eight over 65 players took on the England Over 70s squad on Wednesday 12 June. England took the lead through Hayes in the first half but the Scots responded after half time with a goal from Morrice. Hopes of an honourable draw were dashed when Warrender scored in the final minute to make the final score 2-1 to the home side. report
Sun Shines on Scotland LX and All Stars
In a mini tournament reduced to only two sides played in hot conditions at Auchenhowie on 25 May 2013, a combined Scotland Over 60s/Over 65s/Scottish Thistles side ground down All Stars over a series of short matches resulting in a 2-2 draw and two wins for the combined team. report
Scotland Clean Sweep in Celtic Cup 2013
Scotland Over 60s and Over 65s started the 2013 international season with an away trip to Cardiff in defence of the Celtic Cups in the annual fixture against Wales on Saturday 11 May. The Over 65s played first and won the cup for the third time in succession with a hard-fought 1-0 victory.
Not to be outdone, the Over 60s went one better with a 2-0 victory.
In the friendly internationals played the following day, the results were reversed, Wales beating Scotland Over 60s 4-0 and Scotland Over 65s also going down by a lesser margin, 1-0, to their Welsh counterparts. results and reports

Scottish Thistles started the year competing in the 16th Euroluc Supérvéterans tournament in Lille from 8-10 March 2013. They made the semi finals on Sunday 10 March, topping their group with four 1-0 victories in their four group matches. They finished the tournament undefeated but had to settle for a share of third place with Egypt after drawing with England LX in the semi final but losing the penalty flick competition. Colin Gallacher was top scorer on three with Jim Watson close behind with two goals.
fixtures and reportsGeorge Black makes page 3
Well, not quite page 3, but Founder President George appeared in the Local Hero series in The Herald on Friday 1 March 2013. Two days later, his reign as President of our club came to an end when he stepped aside in favour of Kieran McLernan who promised not to stay on as President for as long as George had!
In many ways, George has been the face of our club but he hasn't stopped playing and will still be there with us. With Stepps HC about to celebrate its centenary, we are sure he will not be short of things to do with his new found spare time.
We shouldn't forget that Alan Auld, was there as a Herald Local Hero before George (Friday 1 May 2009), and coincidentally Alan too stepped down at the AGM on 3 March 2013. Alan wil also carry on as a playing member, though the role of Club Captain will in future be "rolled" in with the role of President, Kieran having been appointed as President and Club Captain at the AGM.
Other officers elected or nominated at the AGM were Jim Chisholm as Secretary and Graham Conkie as Fixtures Secretary. Gordon Loudon joined the committee as an ordinary member. Since the AGM, Peter Gordon has agreed to be Match Secretary to support Jim and Graham.
Scotland retain Celtic Cups
Scotland ended 2012 on a high note by winning both the Over 60 and the Over 65 Celtic Cups on Saturday 27 October at Inverclyde National Sports Centre. Scotland Over 60s had a convincing 2-0 victory with goals from Bishop and Paton, while it took a last minute goal from Weir to give Scotland victory in the Over 65 Celtic Cup after Crichton's early goal was nullified by Maas for Wales.
Scotland bottom in 2012 World Cup
Both Scotland Over 60s and Over 65s finished bottom in the WGMA World Cup in Oxford from 14-24 August 2012. The Over 60s had to wait until their final match before recording any points, while the Over 65s had one win and two draws - still not enough to keep them out of last place.

Opened 12 ounce bottle, poured into pint glass.
Pours a nice low head atop a cloudy light orange brew that has a nice "jelly-fish" looking suspension.
Smell is of clove and banana, taste follows through. This is typical Hefe to me, nothing superb, but a solid brew. Bubbles are nice and refreshing and finish is pleasant and unobtuse.

On tap at the brewery in Sedona. Poured a muddy yellow/orange/amber in color with a small, creamy, dense, white head that diminished but lasted throughout as a film on top of the beer and around the edges. Cloudy. Sparkling. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of wheat, banana, vanilla, coconut, and some clove. Medium body. Slick then dry texture. Average to lively carbonation. Wheat, banana, clove, vanilla finish is dry. Overall, a really nice American hefe!

Pour is hazy yellow to amber. Nose of over-ripe banana and a bit of burned malt - clove comes in.
Entry is a bit spritzy, big clove flavor followed by banana. Soft feel from the oats. Nice hefeweizen flavors - hits german style weizen quite well. Mouthfeel waters out a just a bit as it moves through. Very refreshing beer which should play well in the summer heat of Arizona. Excellent flavor profile with a fine representation of the style.

S - Banana peels, solid wheat backdrop, nutmeg, with a hint of orange
T - Yeasty bananas, stone fruit, clean wheat, nutmeg, clove, oranges, subtle sweet malt.
M - Very smooth medium body with low to medium carbonation.
Not too shabby. This is a very enjoyable Hefe.

(12oz bottle). Pours hazy golden with minimal white head. Aroma of ripe banana, spices and wheat. Taste is sweet-almost perfume like. Medium bodied with slick texture. Very smooth finish. A decent hefeweizen and not bad at all for the hot Arizona summers.

Bought a sixer during a trip out to Sedona.
It pours a very slightly hazy yellow straw color, a bit disappointing in my opinion.
The smell was more promising than the color. You definitely get a good bit of wheat, citrus, and banana. Banana is the strongest part of the scent for me.
The scent is tied pretty closely with the taste so the flavors of banana and citrus come through.
Basically, nothing stellar here, but pretty refreshing especially when viewing the fantastic local scenery. If I wasn't wanting something local to enjoy while enjoying the red rocks I wouldn't have this again as there are much better hefeweizens available at great a price.

Oak Creek's Hefeweizen -- I've had this a few times and never been blown away but after a disastrous encounter with Old World Brewing's Irish Red I want something simple and pleasant to sip. I might even drink a Bud Heavy if I had one, but a nice Hefe could be good too. Is there a Franziskaner in my fridge? Whoops, no...
A: Very dense body with not much head.
S: Sweet with a hefty doze of amyl acetate -- not unlike a banana cream pie. There's something unsettlingly chemical about it, though.
T: The banana is heavy but it seems artificial. It's hard to suss out much beyond that, though I get a little clove and a hint of white pepper.
M: Pretty thick as compared to most of the more commercial American varieties but lacking that really pleasant crispness of the best European Hefes.
D: One is more than enough.

I spent the week in Sedona Arizona and tried the Oak Creek brews both at the brewery itself as well as at a lot of the other local places. I had this as part of a sampling and my wife had a full glass of it. It was one of the better beers of the bunch.
The color was a bright cloudy orange, very enticing. Smell was typical of a Hefeweizen and pretty strong at that. Flavor had a lot of wheat as well as oranges, cloves and yeast. Overall, this was a good beer and if you like wheats it is one you'll definitely enjoy.

The brew of this evening was a pale wheat beer made in West Sedona, Arizona. Oak Creek Brewing Co's Hefeweizen is a beautiful golden orange with a touch of haziness when poured from the bottle. The head is light and dissipates after only a few minutes, but what little lacing is left behind while sipping holds to the glass like a champ, sparkling and refusing to let go.
Before we get to taste, however, I should mention the odd scent. While not completely out of the ordinary (it is beer, after all), it is nowhere near as bitter-smelling nor does it reek of hops and barley. Being made with 50% wheat, it is much lighter and the fermented grains give way to an undercurrent of bananas and cloves. The weirdest thing about this for me is that on my first glass, I had absolutely no whiff of bananas, though I did recognize something grassy. Only on my second glass a few hours later did I manage to pull out the banana scent...it's a good thing you can't get high off of sniffing beer, as I had my nose stuck in the glass for a good 3 or 4 minutes.
Then, after a few sips and swishes over my tongue, I recognized the faintest hint of a sweet plantain at first contact, but found that it disappeared the second after it hit my taste buds. I tried a few more times to find the flavor, and the result was always the same. I suppose if I were insistent on drinking this beer for the banana taste, I would have to take a lot of quick sips and savor the half second of sweetness before trying again and again. Oh, and carbonation was spot on for the smoothness and airy richness; it really complimented the feeling.
My other favorite part about this particular beer, was that there was zero bitterness or sour aftertaste. Once it was down my throat, it was gone. No lingering around on my tongue waiting to be distracted by a bite of food or something salty, it was a quick wave of flavor and then disappeared, leaving my mouth ready for the next gulp.

This cake was the perfect ending to a dinner of marinated grilled lamb chops, spinach and roasted pear salad and mashed potato and roasted cauliflower gratin. The pistachio, cardamom and orange had just the right Mediterranean flair. I glazed the cake with a powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla, orange flower and Elderflower liquor glaze. It was sooo good! Couldn't get the computer to let me give it four forks.
Very tasty and moist, with a good balance of flavors. The cardamom gives it a really nice spice.
The cake is delicious. I made frosting with a stick of butter & about 1/2 a box of powdered sugar, plus a bit of milk and about a teaspoon of rose flower water (not rose extract), which really made it delicious. It came together quickly and easily. Once the cake cooled, it was really sturdy, so I understand why the person who used it to make a wedding cake had such success.
I made about 15 times this volume and turned it into a wedding cake, with a vanilla-orange cream cheese frosting off of the raspberry fondant wedding cake. It holds up really well as a wedding cake because of the density, and tastes delicious.
I made this cake for a dinner party and it was a great success. I added a nice rose buttercream frosting and decorated it with chopped pistachios for a little added flair.
This cake is a mega hit and really easy to do!!! to kick it up a notch and make it more fancy looking - I also make a frosting & do a thin light frosting layer over the whole cake using all the main spices from this recipe (regular icing) plus orange zest, cardamom, vanilla extract...then sprinkle some pistachio nut bits on top to make it look fancy...each time I make this cake, it always gets finished...perfect for people who don't want something SUPER sweet, but just really interesting and delicious!
It was good. I think the whipping cream is a must; I made mine with brown sugar instead of powdered sugar. Also served with raspberries. Was good. Not sure I'd make again because there are so many other delicious desserts to try and this wasn't phenomenal.
HELLO all, I'm going to be making this recipe tonight, do you think that salted pistacios will make a difference if i omit the salt?
I increased the pistachios to 1 cup, used skim milk + whipping cream to substitue the milk, used lemon zest instead of orange zest and baked in a 13*9" sheet pan instead of round cake pan for exactly 20 minutes . It is really really good! It is very moist, the combination of pistachio and lemon is amazing. I think its flavorful enough for what it is. I am going to make a lemon cream cheese frosting to go on top of it!

Isn't he amazing??!! This was my favorite find in Scotland when we went last month. My children and I looked all over the countryside for the highland cow and finally found one in our own backyard, so to speak. This was frolicking in a field just outside of my mum-in-law's home in Montrose.

Ruling that the Comptroller and Auditor General of India was authorised to audit "every rupee flowing into the Consolidated Fund of India, by way of revenue," the Delhi High court on Monday dismissed pleas filed by private telecom companies against audit of their accounts.
"If all the income of the State, must, in view of the constitutional requirements, be credited to and form part of the Consolidated Fund of the State, it is obvious that the income derived by the State from any contract, cannot be kept out of the general revenues...," the bench of Justice Pradeep Nandrajog and Justice V Kameswar Rao said.
Two writ petitions had been filed by the Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India and the Cellular Operators Association of India against orders issued by the Director General of Audit, Post & Telecommunications to all telecom service providers, directing them to produce books of accounts and other documents for verification of revenue to the CAG for three years from 2006-07 to 2008-09.
According to the companies, the CAG did not have the power to conduct a revenue audit of private telecom companies.
But the bench noted that as licence holders, the companies were bound by contract to maintain accounts relating to the licence agreement and, in particular, the revenue received by it.
"...There is a contractual obligation of the licensee to account for and pay to the Central government its share of the revenue...Needless to state, without an accounting, there is no way by which the Central government can determine its dues," the bench said.
The verdict is likely to impact the way public private partnership and joint ventures work in the country since the court said a "new emerging regulatory state" was needed to curb the system that had grown out of "club governance".
