No, it means I have published work and I engage in paid research. For example, there are things in space I've been involved in the development of.
No, it's called being able to explain oneself. Notice how I didn't swear or wish horrible things on you, unlike your comments to me. As your 2 week holiday shows, that kind of immature mentality has no place here.
Considering you've been asked to provide some justification for your claims and you've ignored said requests you're again hardly taking the high ground on that regard.
GR is known not to be an entirely self coherent model for much the same reason as QED is also known to not be entirely self consistent, they have issues with high energy regimes and leave to pesky infinite couplings. But the reason we know that is because people constructed quantitative coherent descriptions of the principles and followed them to their conclusions. Without the details all the buzzwords in the world can't get you to a viable theory.
Again, you can't spout the stuff I first called you a poe for and then complain about the lack of completeness in a mainstream model without being very hypocritical. At least GR lets us correctly and precisely describe the dynamics of gravitational systems, leading to such vital pieces of technology like the GPS network. If you gutted GR of all but a few buzzwords it'd be worthless, just like that buzzword extravaganza I called you a poe for saying.
Wow, I do hope you're being a poe again, in that you're deliberately being ironic and hypocritical because otherwise you've just tried to present yourself as a 'peaceful person' after wishing I get tortured to death!
Come on, you seriously can't have missed the hypocrisy in that one.
Are you projecting or just trolling?
I happen to be working on a problem in quantum chemistry at the moment. If you think what you've been spouting is anything close to the modelling power of mainstream quantum chemistry you're very much mistaken. Saying "Before I show you the math I'll show you an illustration" sounds like a cop out. Why wait till you have time to draw lots of pictures when you could just type out the relevant equations you've worked with right now? After all, if you're up to speed on it all you can just type it out off the top of your heard, right? Something tells me you can't.
Besides, you have 2 weeks before you can post again. Why not spend that time doing all the maths in a .txt file so you can post it immediately when you get back?

You are a professional who does quantum chemistry research, and gets paid for it. By solving the Schrodinger equation for the electric charges of atoms, one obtains valence bands, conduction bands, electronic shells, heat conduction and electrical conduction properties of materials. If quantum theorists didn't need wave functions to describe all of these properties, then wave functions would go away. Yet QM theorists retain wave functions because they describe nature very well.
Question: Is it unreasonable to think that wave function are the real face of nature?

Question: Is it unreasonable to think that wave function are the real face of nature?
The Bible says "pre-universe stuff, where space and energy are one thing, has a quiver of waves moving through it. These presumably have decayed into the waves in the arm of a spiral galaxy, weather patterns and even your daily eating habits. I say, What better way to measure a wave than with a wave function.

Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran has completed a season-long loan move to Middlesbrough.
Both clubs confirmed on Monday morning that the 19-year-old England Under-21 international would spend this term at the Riverside Stadium.
McEachran made just five appearances, only two of them starts, in a loan spell at Swansea during the second half of last season.

Biotech Stock Mailbag: Oncolytics, Sarepta, Delcath, Peregrine
I believe the opposite. Newly enacted federal legislation encourages and empowers FDA to accelerate the approval of new, innovative drugs for rare and life-threatening diseases. If the 48-week eteplirsen data confirm the positive benefit for Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients observed already, FDA would be well within its regulatory purview to grant accelerated approval.
FDA is constantly under political attack for slowing the development of life-saving drugs. With eteplirsen, the agency has an opportunity to show that it is responsive to Congress and the needs of kids with a debilitating and deadly disease.
Also, don't underestimate the influence that families affected by DMD will have on FDA's decision to approve eteplirsen early. Already, one Vermont mother, Jenn Mcnary, is receiving a lot of media attention for her efforts to obtain eteplirsen on a compassionate-use basis for her son Austin, 13, who suffers from DMD. Another of Mcnary's sons, Max, 10, also suffers from DMD but he's literally running around the house after being treated with eteplirsen in Sarepta's phase II trial.
Max is one of the four patients in the trial treated with the 50-mg dose of eteplirsen. Mcnary doesn't know Max's actual results from the trial because the data remain blinded but the change in his health is unmistakable, she says.
"Max today is more like Tigger than Eeyore," says Mcnary. "My husband and I have to tell him to stop running in the house. We never had to do that before." Some of the recent press accounts of Mcnary's efforts to obtain eteplirsen for Austin have painted Sarepta as the bad guy -- a drug company refusing to help a child patient in need. But Mcnary says she has no animosity towards Sarepta, which doesn't have the financial resources today to ramp up manufacturing enough to provide eteplirsen via a compassionate-use program. "What everyone wants is for FDA to grant early approval of eteplirsen," she says. Towards that end, Mcnary plans to meet with FDA in October, around the same time that Sarepta will be meeting with FDA to discuss accelerated approval. She hopes to have other DMD patient advocates with her. The next big catalyst for Sarepta will be the release of the 48-week eteplirsen data in mid-October at the World Muscle Society conference.D. Jones asks, "Do you have an opinion on Delcath Systems (DCTH)? They are submitting their NDA [New Drug Application] later this year and I was wondering if it's time to buy before a potential run-up." I'm not a Delcath fan, never been one, mainly because of the small commercial market for the company's Chemosaturation (ChemoSat) liver-tumor treatment system. I haven't had big concerns about the FDA approvability of ChemoSat, more that Delcath could never deliver sufficient revenue to generate a meaningful profit. [Sales to date in Europe, where ChemoSat is approved, have been minimal.]

- " This was the very first time I stayed at a hostel and it was a really great experience! The location is very good which takes 5 minutes by walk to city center, train station and bus station(3 min). The staffs were very nice and I really appreciated that. I stayed 14 and 6 people room and the rooms were clean. However there was only one bathroom at 14 people room so I had to use the public shower room(3 shower booths) which is for women and man. Also you can only use the wifi at the ground floor. "

Decatur's 175th anniversary celebration has come and gone, but the city's Operation Cleanup is continuing, Board of Works and Safety member Bill Karbach told city council on Tuesday night. Karbach, who headed up the months-long program to get the city spruced up for the celebration, said the effort is continuing, although headed in another direction. "Now we're working with businesses that are violating our ordinances; it's more of a code enforcement thing now," he pointed out.
Adams County Clerk Gayla Reinhart has announced that the deadline to register to vote in the November 8 general election is next Tuesday, October 11. Reinhart said people may register to vote online by going to www.in.gov/sos/elections and clicking on "Register to Vote Online" on the right side of the page. Eligible people also may register at offices of the state Bureau of Motor Vehicles or at the clerk's office in the courthouse in downtown Decatur.
A prison sentence of two years and 325 days was handed down in Adams Superior Court on Tuesday to Marlinda D. Moore, 49, Berne. Moore pleaded guilty to domestic battery, battery, resisting law enforcement, disorderly conduct, and criminal mischief. The new charges also violated the probations she is serving for convictions of resisting law enforcement, intimidation, and invasion of privacy.
GARRETT—Hannah Moore and Evan Liechty added another title to their stories cross country careers at South Adams Tuesday night as both runners claimed first place in the annual ACAC meet held at Garrett High School.
MONROEVILLE — Both the Lady Jets and the Lady Starfires once again found a way to make it interesting in the opening match of the ACAC volleyball tournament Tuesday night, but ultimately put away the Bluffton Lady Tigers and Southern Wells Lady Raiders each in two sets in their respective matches. Heritage hosted the event and would later play the Woodlan Lady Warriors after the AC-Bluffton match-up. In the Jets' contest, AC managed to hold on to the first set with a gritty 25-21 score despite losing at one point 13-18.
A city crackdown is coming for a group of Yost Woods residents who aren't paying their sewage bills. Mayor John Schultz raised the issue at Tuesday night's city council meeting, noting that the situation is unique in that the city has no direct recourse if a resident of that area does not pay his/her bill.
It doesn't have a name as yet, such as Save The Depot, but a fund will be set up by the Adams County Community Foundation to which people, businesses, groups, etc. may donate in order to preserve — and put to use — the 99-year-old structure off Seventh St., near Monroe St. Mayor John Schultz unveiled the plan at Tuesday night's city council meeting, with the notation, "We are asking for donations."
The Callithumpian Committee has announced that the grand marshall for the 2011 Callithumpian Parade will be Eric Mann, a longtime reporter and photographer at the Decatur Daily Democrat who is retiring this year. Mann, who will turn 62 five days before the October 31 parade, will step down on December 31. The parade will start at 7 p.m. on Monday, October 31, the final event of the annual Callithumpian celebration.
Johanna C. Rafert Buuck, 97, a former resident of the Decatur area, died at 12:04 p.m. Monday in Van Wert In-Patient Hospice Center at Van Wert, Ohio. She was born on February 11, 1914, in New Haven to Rev. H.B. and Lydia Boettcher Kohlmeier. She was married twice: first to Wilfred Rafert on December 25, 1936, who died on November 18, 1963, and then to Erwin Buuck on February 12, 1972, who died on January 3, 1982.
Annabelle Fralick, 90, of Convoy, Ohio, died at 2:02 p.m. on Monday, October 3, 2011, in CHP In-Patient Hospice Center at Van Wert, Ohio. Annabelle was the daughter of Home Franklin and Violet Addie Engle Rummel. She was born on October 31, 1920, at the family's farm on Wolfcale Rd., rural Convoy.

Over the course of last weekend I wrote web2.0collage, a browser history sniffing collage generator in scheme. Web2.0collage is designed to graphically illustrate just how easy it is for sites to determine what your browser history is. When you visit the site it sniffs your browser history, and creates a collage of the (safe for work) sites that you visit. It is an interesting application of potentially scary technology (imagine a job application site using this to screen candidates). Ideally, given some time in my schedule, I'd like to make it a bit more user friendly and robust so that I could perhaps show it to the general public to increase awareness of privacy issues on the web.
The code, while not good since I was learning how the plt-webserver & imagemagick bindings worked at the time, is available under the agpl. Today it hit the front page of slashdot, causing some less than fortunate scaling issues to be discovered. Hatguy & myself managed to fix them (sort of) without too many interruptions.

ø Ignore MorrusAsk Monte Cook!
Game designer Monte Cook has kindly agreed to answer a few questions here on EN World. One of the designers of D&D 3rd Edition, owner of Malhavoc Press and the new Monte Cook Games, and one of the pioneers of PDF-format RPG publishing, Monte is currently working on a new RPG called Numenera - a game which raised a Kickstarter budget of over a half a million dollars.
We'll be taking questions right here in this thread, and will forward Monte a selection. The thread will be open for a week, so feel free to ask any questions. I ask that you be so kind as to refrain from commentary so as to make it easy for me to pull out the list of questions - I'll be moving any posts which don't consist of a question.
Finally - Monte has indicated that he is legally unable to speak about D&D Next or his recent time at Wizards of the Coast, and so will not be answering any questions on those subjects.Last edited by Morrus; Friday, 5th October, 2012 at 07:16 PM.

Would you like a free "hat of d02"?
If you were invited to redesign a popular brand of hat, what is the one thing that you suspect your fellow hat-designers would want to do, or that you believe the Big Hat Management would demand, that you think would be a bad idea?

ø Ignore delerichoWhy create a new system for Numenera, rather than simply optimising an existing system and spending the saved time on other things? What do you hope this new system will bring that the current dice+modifier or dice-pool systems don't?

ø Ignore AlzriusWhat do you see as the advantages and disadvantages of a point-buy character-creation/advancement system versus the class-and-level system? How are these advantages and disadvantages different when looked at through the lens of a GM rather than a player, or from a corporate standpoint?

I do need some protection for all those people who are hacking iphones nowa days...*sarcastically*
I just need untethered JB....
Very interested to see what will happen and how it works.
Bet Steve is not to happy with this.
Step 1, Apple sees it as a good idea
Step 2, Apple implements it
Step 3, we are screwed
This discussion about malware or the concern apple had about hacking via a pdf exploit or whatever is pointless
I haven't heard of a single case where anyone has hacked into an iphone, and if apple never fixed that pdf exploit, I doubt there'd be a single virus ever that would have sent a virus to an iphone. It'd just be a waste of time. Viruses are meant to harass with ads on desktop computers, steal information from servers, etc. You don't need a "norton antivirus" for a mobile device.
Well still, if it was implemented into Windows Vista I highly doubt it does much.
Ahhh... You beat me to it.
We dont need this. This wont do us much good. What would this virus do? Change your background? Put on some michael jackson music to promote his album? Take away your status bar? Really what will a virus do on the iPhone? This is like those "OMG! A New virus has been released! Mcafee and Norton classified it as one of the most dangerous in the world! It burns your harddrive and makes your computer totally useless!" emails that are STILL being emailed around....... Come on..... Dont waste an exploit thats exactly what Apple wants us to do....
Craps.... Theyll probably just make some stupid viruses now to make them release them...
Come on guys, get real. If Apple were going to implement this and "burn an exploit" they would've done it in the beginning (or at least by now). ASRL (or whatever they said, I don't really care) is obviously a known technique in the tech industry.
You did read the whole article right? Starting with Vista they added it. Man, it really did the trick.
Well the thing is, not any one person knows the entire source code for any apple os, not even the ppl that work for apple, each person gets a piece to work on and that way if anyone gets fired or somethin, they can't do much harm..thats why there's not so many viruses for the Mac, unlike windows (who's source code is easy to come by) I still like my pc tho not a big mac userI wonder how long though before anti-virus starts to appear for the iPhone?
I mean, they're are millions of the out there and they're getting used for ever increasingly sensitive tasks, but yet the hackers seem to have left them alone. Can't stay that way for ever.
Of course, I have no idea what I'm talking about here, so there might be a very good reason why they ain't yet been attacked.
Sounds logical 2 me but I ain't all about making sense!!
To all those saying this will make jailbreak harder, did you read to story at all? The first line say's 'A German security analyst is about to unveil a new jailbreaking process.........'
I read that as a new tool to perform the jailbreak on my iDevice but it will not leave it as vulnerable to malware as other jailbreaking methods.
Seems like every time someone develops a software or exploit for the iPhone the name always has a zero in it. I never understood why. But, I'm sure this antidote will come at a high price if they plan on profiting. So I won't be a buyer.
Cause if this new jailbreaking method plans on adding extra security as they advertise, I'm sure it won't be free.
what will this achieve? the only hack (im aware of) is that australian ssh one. this might tempt apple into using ASLR, thus making jb'ing more difficult (potentially impossible) i really hope this gets pushed back into the darkness, nobody needs this as of yet and nobody even wants it.
i'd say this is helping apple more than the end user. suck
yes but if apple decides to implement it into the fw then were all ****** (to an extent) it will be alot harder to root simply because of the randomised code injections, let alone getting a stable jb which will work for every device, every time.To all those saying this will make jailbreak harder, did you read to story at all? The first line say's 'A German security analyst is about to unveil a new jailbreaking process.........'
I read that as a new tool to perform the jailbreak on my iDevice but it will not leave it as vulnerable to malware as other jailbreaking methods.
After reading the white paper in iPhone privacy, most of it alarming reading. Antid0te is a must.
The title should be "antid0te Will Harden the iPhone Against Jailbreak"

My Australian cattle dog destroys even the toughest toys in minutes, but not his little man! This toy is extremely well made, durable, and lasts us about half a year, sometimes almost a year, before we have to replace it, which we always do.
HIGHLY recommended!

Talk radio in Rhode Island is trash radio !
paul zecchino
The Left is clearly feeling the heat from Talk Radio. Remember all those impotent threats vis-à-vis, every community would have monitors to tape and take notes on all talk hosts and their guests, in effort to stop Talk Radio? Wasn't that part of the regime's stated goal when first it was inflicted upon our country?
What happened? Well, the poltroons who were supposed to do that prefer watching springer and the view to taping and taking notes on concepts they cannot grasp. (Hate speech alert here!)
They'd rather stuff their pie-holes with Foam 'n' Snakzz and watch Pin the Tail on the Village Idiot, than try to fathom what a conservative talk host might be saying.
So that Stasi-esque stooge program failed.
So now it's this? Nice try.
You succeed in getting DePetro off the air, you take bread from his mouth, violate his rights and take away something he clearly loves to do? Be careful what you wish for.
From personal experience, the short-sighted, thin-skinned, control freaks with much to hide who censor free speech wind up with a sleep-disordered citizen-reporter who relishes the idea of hanging upside down all night, gathering facts to alert his fellow citizens to society's termites.
Be careful what you wish for. Best to wish Mr. DePetro well.
Take man or woman off the air, and they'll instantly take to the Net both, with words spoken and written, to expose the compromised geeks who did them dirty, as warning to their fellow Americans.
Sammy Arizona
Shortly after Clinton took office, the undisputed leader of the conservative movement and the de facto leader of the GOP Rush Limbaugh had a syndicated TV show. Rush asked his audience, "did you know there's a White House dog?" For his punch line, Rush showed a photo of a 12-year-old Chelsea Clinton.
It takes a special breed of jerk to go after an under-age child . To expose her to ridicule for her looks, at what is easily the most awkward stage of adolescence, is completely indefensible. But the Right-Wing-Rubes proudly defended Saint Limbaugh's vile comments
Happy holidays to all...Sammy in Arizona
Wuggly Ump
Name calling by a radio host is unacceptable. Imus calling kids "hos" and DePetro calling a group of women "whores" is just wrong.
What DePetro said about Ms. Ross may have been tactless, but essentially correct.
As far as Sammy Arizona's Rush Limbaugh incident that was also wrong calling kids names.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to determine whether NRX 194204 is effective in the treatment of advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Non-small Cell Lung Cancer |
Drug: NRX194204 |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | A Multiple-Center, Open-Label, Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Oral NRX 194204 Capsule Administered Daily for a Minimum of 4 Weeks in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) |
- Overall objective tumor response rate [ Time Frame: 7 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Progression free survival [ Time Frame: 7 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: 7 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Overall safety and toxicity of NRX 194204 in NSCLC patients [ Time Frame: 7 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Estimated Enrollment: | 48 |
Study Start Date: | March 2009 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | June 2010 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | March 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: NRX194204 |
Drug: NRX194204
Once Daily, Oral
Detailed Description:
Numerous studies in pre-clinical models and in human clinical trials have clearly established the potential for the use of rexinoids in the treatment and prevention of cancer. NRX 194204, a second generation rexinoid, is a highly potent and specific activator of RXRs. Because NRX 194204 is significantly more selective for the RXRs relative to the RARs than a first generation approved drug, it is associated with fewer adverse events in clinical use. This study seeks to investigate NRX 194204 monotherapy in patients who have failed any 2 prior therapies.

ELLICOTTVILLE - The 2012 Farm Service Agency county committee elections have begun with the mailing of ballots to eligible voters in the towns of Machias, Yorkshire, Farmersville, Freedom, Franklinville, Ischua and Lyndon.
The deadline to return the ballots to local FSA offices is Dec. 3.
"The role and input of our county committee members is more vital than ever," said Jean Davis, Farm Service Agency county executive director. "New county committee members provide input and make important decisions on the local administration of disaster and conservation programs. With better participation in recent years, we also have seen promising increases in the number of women and minority candidates."
Eligible voters who do not receive ballots in the coming week can obtain ballots from their local USDA Service Center. Dec. 3 is the last day for voters to submit ballots in person to local U.S. Agriculture Department service centers. Ballots returned by mail must also be postmarked no later than Dec. 3. Newly elected committee members and their alternates will take office Jan. 1.
To be an eligible voter, farmers and ranchers must participate or cooperate in an FSA program.
While FSA county committees do not approve or deny farm operating loans, they make decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs and other agricultural issues. Members serve three-year terms.
More information on county committees, such as the new 2012 fact sheet and brochures, can be found on the FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/elections or at a local USDA Service Center.

According to Foxnews.com, more than 40,000 people applied to take advantage of a California company's offer to make homeowners' mortgage payments as long as they turn their house into a billboard, MyFoxTampaBay.com reported.
The company, Brainiacs From Mars, reportedly paints their logos and colors on your house and, in return, pays your monthly mortgage.
"If you let us paint ads on your house, we pay for your mortgage for the entire time the ad runs," Romeo Mendoza of Brainiacs From Mars said.
One of the applications is from a teacher who says she has a $1,200 mortgage and is struggling to get by.
"Ninety percent of people are in need. The other 10 percent of people just want to have a good time," he said.
Mendoza said the goal is to paint 3,000 homes by the end of next year.
"We buy ads as a company all the time, so why not buy an ad on this person's house, and we, in return, pay the mortgage," he said.

TO TRAILHEAD: Take I-95 over the George Washington Bridge to Palisades Pkwy. N. In 35 mi., turn R into Anthony Wayne Recreation Area. Park in S lot @ Anthony Wayne South Ski Trail.
Navigate the infamous lemon squeezer, a pinched corridor tucked between mammoth-sized boulders, on this 11-mile route peppered young hardwoods and old iron mines in Harriman State Park.
Tag three mountains, including the highest point in Connecticut, on this 12.1-mile hike in Mt. Washington State Forest. Attractions include: pretty streamside camping, spectacular ridgeline hiking, fine mountain views, and a bounty of blueberries.
Solitude. Fresh air. Big views. It all unfolds on this vigorous 5-miler along a lively mountain stream to the highest point in Hudson Highlands State Park.
This 10-mile out-and-back climbs a summit with far-reaching views and ends at a rustic Appalachian Trail shelter.
This 25-mile plus hike climbs six significant peaks in the northern Catskills, accumulating about 18,000 feet of elevation gain and loss in steep, rocky terrain. This country looks and feel wild, and the views from its many lookouts easily rival those from the more-crowded high peaks.
This 12.2-mile loop rambles through some of the wildest hardwood forest in the northeast and climbs three rugged peaks taller than 3,500 feet in Catskill Forest Preserve.
A massive oak, a sprawling wetland, an atomic lake-this classic weekend trip packs it all into a 19.2-mile out-and-back on the Appalachian Trail. Bonus: Save the Earth by taking the train to the trailhead.
There are no car horns blowing on this pleasant 5-mile loop--just the therapeutic hum of mountain streams and a peaceful lake in the woods.
You won't find sections of this 8.2-mile hike on any trail map. That's because, until recently, these two 3,500-foot mountains in the Catskill Mountains sat on private land.
Hike, ski, or bike a hidden pocket of sylvan wilderness just an hour from Manhattan.

Comments about Anastasia Perfect Brow Pencil, Brunette/Dark Brown, .04 oz:
I have tried every kind of eyebrow pencil and searched for a color that isn't red or too dark, The colors offered here are exceptional. I don't have to use three different pencils to get a natural looking shade that isn't red, gray or too dark. (I use Medium Ash) This pencil is easy to sharpen, and neither too soft or too hard. The comb at the end is also very helpful.

Comments about Anastasia Perfect Brow Pencil, Brunette/Dark Brown, .04 oz:
Stumbled upon this product while in dire need of a brow pencil after getting my eyebrows threaded at the mall. My eyebrow hair is very light, so I have to fill in every day.
I tried this with skepticism because I am a fairly dark-skinned AA. I was pleasantly surprised that it was perfect! I didn't look like Groucho Marx and it didn't look grey when I applied it! A great addition to my make-up bag.

How many of u are under 20 years of age but have a life membership?
The Classic Michigander
Posted By bpetersen on 02 Sep 2010 01:03 PM Ya guys, if you can swing it then go for it. Just think it only takes a few years for the membership to pay for itself just with the magazine.add in all of the other benefits and its a great deal. members who are younger will get be getting benefits for a bunch of years. however the bottom line is everyone chooses a membership option that suits them and there is nothing wrong with remaining a yearly member or upgrading to trophy membership. Brian Upgrading to trophy membership?

Carnegie Hill
Uptown on the East Side, from 86th Street to 96th Street and from Lexington Avenue to Central Park.
The Carnegie Hill section of Manhattan, full of magnificient townhouses that are rarely for sale because their owners tend to hang on to them, has wonderful access to Central Park. Larger buildings house prewar apartments of six or seven rooms, known as "Classic Sixes" and "Classic Sevens," but the light in the area is generous as even these magnificient co-ops are usually not too tall. The resulting old-world feel, which bathes even modern condos in Carnegie Hill, shows you why steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie picked this quiet, countrified section of Manhattan as the place to build his ultimate family home. (You can still visit it today on your way to buy or rent an apartment — it's now a branch of the Smithsonian known as the Cooper-Hewitt museum.)

Please Don't Quote Me This Week
PART IV—FROM APPROXIMATELY 1840 through the middle 1850's, Grand Detour experienced an enviable growth, not only in population but in industry and businesses.
Click on the Flag for More Information
Most citizens are concerned about the ongoing debate over taxes and big government spending, and with good reason. Every single taxpayer in the country is at risk, with nearly $500 billion in new taxes set to take effect at the start of 2013. At the same time, our government continues to spend more than we bring in and is putting the nation further in debt.
All the discussion and posturing about the so-called "Fiscal Cliff" is a tactic called "brinkmanship," the practice of pushing dangerous events to the verge of (the brink) of disaster in order to achieve the perceived, most advantageous outcome. This is what is happening today all over the world, with state, federal, and international politics, U.S. foreign policy, union labor relations here in Illinois, and (in several dangerous scenarios) military strategy involving the threatened use of nuclear weapons (See this week's article from William Fawell and "Elect a New Congress").
This tactic of pushing a situation to the brink forces one party (or country, or union, or business) to back down and make concessions. This might be achieved through diplomatic maneuvers by creating the impression that one is willing to use extreme methods rather than concede (1).
Fear-based leadership is what we have in the united States of America today. Fear of terrorists, fear of losing your pensions, fear of losing your job, fear, fear, and more fear.
Our leadership also utilizes the "divide and conquer" rule of war. By dividing your opponent's forces, you also split their ability to focus their attack on your perceived weakness.
In politics, our state and federal government leaders are elected in order to "serve" the People. But what do we have to deal with? Brinkmanship. Take them to the edge with fear in their hearts. Keep yourself in a position of power by making the people under you disagree with each other so that they are unable to join together and remove you from your position. Democrat vs Republican, Union vs Business, Rich vs Poor, and on and on.
Governance by a policy of divide and conquer. What happened to "e pluribus unum?" Has our leadership quit on us? When did "We The people" become the enemy?
Speaker of the House John Boehner, a Republican "conservative," is now talking about compromise. At RedState.com, Ned Ryun suggests that Boehner be fired.
"As most conservatives know, Boehner and the House GOP Steering Committee decided to purge four conservative House members from their committee. Congressmen Justin Amash and Tim Huelskamp were removed from the House Budget Committee, and Congressmen David Schweikert and Walter Jones were cut from the Financial Services Committee."
Ryun stated that Amash, Huelskamp, and Schweikert were targeted because they were too fiscally conservative- all three voted against Boehner's debt ceiling hikes. Amash and Huelskamp were the only two GOP votes against House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan's budget.
"Amash explained that vote at yesterday's Bloggers' Briefing at the Heritage Foundation, 'It's unacceptable to have unbalanced budgets until 2040.'
"For anyone outside of DC, this statement seems obvious. Only in Washington is balancing the budget radical."
Ryun concluded that. "If Speaker Boehner wants to purge independent, bold conservatives—I think it's time he gets fired as Speaker. Not only for the purge. He has failed to effectively win negotiations with President Obama and appointed moderate committee chairs. To the public, Boehner may appear radical but in reality he proposes milquetoast policies, like the tax-hikes he proposed this week." (2)
What is this - brinkmanship, or divide and conquer? I thought we were on the same side?
President Obama, fresh off his November victory, is promising to cut spending if he gets his requested tax increase.
Spending cuts? CNNMoney reported that President Obama on Monday (Dec. 10) unveiled a $3.7 trillion budget request for 2012 that proposes "painful cuts" in many government programs. "The budget, which is likely to face stiff resistance in Congress, takes a big bite out of domestic spending and would slash deficits by $1.1 trillion over the next decade, according to White House estimates."
Slash deficits? The U.S.National Debt Clock reports that the Outstanding Public Debt as of 10 Dec 2012 at 03:01:02 PM GMT is $16,380,832,515,802.13. That's right - over $16 trillion. The estimated population of the United States is 314,025,920, so each citizen's share of this debt is $52,163.95. The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $3.88 billion per day since September 28, 2007!
Based on these figures, we don't have ten years.
Pollsters are now asking American citizens if it is OK for Republicans to disavow the pledge they took to hold the line on taxes.
What do they not understand regarding a PLEDGE?
Since every administration, and every Congress, has been "kicking the can down the road" for the past 40 years or so, it is time to intercede.
Unbeknownst to our current leadership, they have finally kicked that can down the very last road. Because at the end of this road lies the Fiscal Cliff.
How about this for a solution? Civil Brinkmanship. We do the dividing and conquering.
Let's allow them to take us to the edge. Then, we have them right were we want them. One swift kick in the pants of the leader, and they will all follow, tumbling over the edge like lemmings.
Only then will we be able to start fresh as a Free Nation.

Summer Berry and Cream Sandwich
This is an easy idea for large family gatherings. Serve with a bowlful of fresh berries, dusted lightly with icing sugar.
(You can click on ingredients to see more related recipes)
400 g | Puff pastry |
2 punnets | Strawberries |
2 tbsp | Caster sugar |
2 tbsp | Orange liqueur, or berry-flavoured vodka |
¾ cup | Cream |
2 tbsp | Icing sugar |
1 to decorate | Mint |
- Preheat the oven to 220 degC (or 200 degC fan bake). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Roll the pastry(thawed) out on a lightly floured bench into a 30cm square. Allow the pastry to sit for 5 minutes, then measure again and roll further if necessary. Cut the pastry in half to make two 15cm x 30cm rectangles. Transfer the pieces to the oven tray. Prick the pastry all over with a fork. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes until golden and thoroughly cooked. Transfer carefully to a cake rack to cool. Use a serrated knife to trim the edges - use a sawing action for best results. Apply a little firm pressure to compact the pastry slices if you wish.
- Hull and slice half the strawberries. Set aside. Hull the remaining strawberries and place in a food processor with the sugar and alcohol, then pulse to chop evenly. Do not purée. If you do not have a food processor, chop them roughly then mash coarsely with a potato masher.
- Whip the cream until it forms firm peaks, then spread generously over the bottom sheet of pastry. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top along with half the chopped strawberries. Place the second piece of pastry on top, then transfer to a serving platter. Sift the icing sugar on top. Scatter the remaining chopped strawberries around the sandwich and garnish with a few mint leaves.

Well. This is sort of a big deal, isn't it?
I can probably count on the fingers of one hand the number of whiskies ever released that are over 60 years of age, and it's absolutely unthinkable these days that a 60yo distillery release would ever see the light of day at anything less than a five-figure price tag. Yet here we are bringing this astonishing piece of liquid history to you for a three-figure sum*.
Well rather than re-iterate, I'll refer you to my explanation of the economics behind this, here: http://www.masterofmalt.com/Blog/post/Brand-New-30-40-and-50-Year-Old-Whisky.aspx. Do please read it, as every bit of it still rings true, and it's the reason behind our ability to continue to deliver exceptional, unbelievably well-aged whiskies at price-points an order of magnitude less than some other folk.

Twitter is all a-buzz like a bag of bees in a barber shop with lots of gossip about winners. They must have heard that we were announcing the winner of our Balblair competition today! It could have been because there was a massive academy awards show on TV just the other night or it could be about us. But as there have been no good films made since Back To The Future in 1985, all the gossip must be about our competition!
This does beg the question: Who leaked this information about us announcing the Balblair competition winner to Twitter?

It's #MasterofCocktails time again folks! This week we're putting together a supremely refreshing drink – one which you absolutely must try if you haven't already.
A long drink made with tequila and grapefruit, god only knows why this isn't more widely available to be honest. This week we'll be making a Paloma. It's a Mexican number that translates as the 'dove', all you really need to know though is that you want one. They're yummy.

The Whip at The Running Horse Pub 50 Davies Street, London, W1K 5JE Tel: 020 7493 1275 Nearest Tube: Bond Street Monday to Saturday, 12-11pm
Hunter S Thompson's famous Kentucky Derby inkings were in my mind last Saturday as I climbed the stairs to The Whip in Mayfair – a newly opened bar which carries on the equestrian theme of partner operation, The Running Horse (located downstairs). Brandishing some serious bourbons, the menu is a mouthwatering selection of Derby classics – Mint Juleps were in order, and The Whip's elegantly styled confines were a suitable location.

Another week's been and gone, which means it must be time for another #MasterofCocktails! This week we're making a Penicillin cocktail, created at Milk and Honey NYC by Sam Ross. Nice work Sam.
This is a Whisky sour, but is unusual, being made with a good slug of Peated Malt. Not a traditional hit in cocktails.
In this context, the peat works well with the traditional ginger, honey and lemon mix to provide further mental cues that the drink's doing you good. Delicious!

Townspeople – I bear exciting and groundbreaking whisky news.
It's not often we see the launch of a new malt whisky distillery, what with the tremendous setup and operational costs, and the sheer difficulty of actually doing the thing, but, as of yesterday, it was announced that there will be a new distillery on the Isle of Skye, named Torabhaig.

Right then chaps – we're going to be making something that's very much en-vogue at the moment for this week's #MasterofCocktails: an Aviation.
Essentially, this cocktail is just a gin-sour with a dab of Violet Liqueur in it, but the sum of the parts is so much more than this. Also, as it's probably one of the least sweet sours you'll come across, it can still legitimately be called an aperitif.

Blimey, it's Friday already! A Valentine's Day Friday, no less! Well, today we only have eyes for delicious Irish Whiskey as we move onto the third and final instalment of this bumper blog post.
Back at the start of Part 1, I mentioned Teeling Whiskey Company's recently confirmed plans to build a new distillery in Dublin, the first in 125 years. This post will cover this and many other projects that could see the number of distilleries in Ireland double, treble, or perhaps even quadruple!
First though, I'll try to briefly run through some other news and developments, starting with the fact that in 2011 Beam Inc. bought Cooley, introducing another big player alongside the giants of Pernod Ricard and Diageo and leaving Ireland without an independent distillery once again (albeit briefly...).

Yesterday, I began my serialised guide to Irish Whiskey with a rundown of its turbulent history through some difficult times, becoming the most popular spirit in the world before nearly disappearing altogether in the 20th century! Fortunately, it has been on a road to recovery in the last few decades and is now thriving.
Despite this resurgence, which has made Irish Whisky the fastest growing drinks category in the world, Scotch whisky still comfortably sells 15 times more cases worldwide, and has about as many times more active distilleries too. With Scotch whisky's dominance since the 1930s, there's perhaps understandably still some confusion, even amongst whisk(e)y enthusiasts, surrounding the styles of Irish whiskey available.
Fret not, however! In this second instalment I'll be looking at each style in turn, complete with a number of yummy examples of each!

Comments about ClassicFlame Corinth Infrared Electric Fireplace Media Console in Oak - 23DE1447-O107:
The picture on the Internet was impressive but when it got here and set up - I was amazed. I am glad we couldn't find an oak fireplace here. This is the best I've ever seen. Fits our 46" LCD TV perfectly; you could even fit a bigger one on the top if you have a small base. Tracked shipping from U.S. where it changed to a Canadian tracker. I new exactly what day and time it was going to arrive. Hats off to your company.

About Me High-end Shopper
I was reluctant to order something online sight unseen but the online Chat really convinced me I was buying something decent and the pictures weren't deceiving. When I received this I was delighted to see the wood quality was what I hoped for. Not cheap partical board. It also accurately described what it could handle heating (up to 1000 sq. ft). The first night I had it the weather was cold here (about 18 degrees)so I turned it on for the night. My furnace never even kicked in! GREAT PRODUCT!
solid wood

us in rec. room with a gas fire place it does a super job as sup. heating not the easies thing to put together. not a one person job
Ultimately Turned Out Good

I received this fireplace as a Christmas gift. I was very excited when the items arrived so quickly and to see that the picture was accurate...it is very beautiful. However,a few things were not so great. First, the box that the cabinet was in was deeply gouged thru to the wood. Secondly, we were sent the wrong size firebox for the fireplace that was ordered.The company generally handled the issues well. I did have a small issue with one rep that I talked to on the phone that was not so helpful or understanding. We were given a small refund due to the damaged item. They arranged to pick up the wrong firebox and shipped the correct one once the wrong one was picked up.Finally, got everything up and running two weeks after we received the initial shipment. Overall, very happy with my present and ok with the service.Also the fire cracker listed as an option is ok....but in my opinion NOT worth $40.00.

fireplace heats 1000 sq ft haha
By steve in iowa
from osage ia
looks great but doesn't live up to the claim to heat a 1000 sq ft room could have bought the one that heats 400 sq ft room instead for less money
