On tap @ the source for the Vietnamese bottle release. Part of a taster flight which included:
Vietnamese Nut Brown
Vietnamese Speedway
Vietnamese Speedway with Coconut
Barrel-Aged Old Numbskull
A: Pours brown with faintly reddish highlights under a 1/4-inch thick off-white head which fades to the rim slowly and leaves spotty lace.
N: Nutty, mellow earthy roasted coffee, faintly sweet malts/grains.
T: Very well balanced. Follows nose. Stand out coffe and nutty earthyness.
M: Full body and semi-medium carbonation. Smooth, slightly boozy, nutty roasted coffee finish.
O: Please bottle this. The world needs a chance to try this.

Sampled at the brewery as part of the specialty coffee beer flight at the release party on August 10th, 2013.
Appearance - Looked like any other brown ale out of the tap. A small head that dissipated into a thin ring in no time, and very clear brown.
Smell - Outstanding. The addition of the vietnamese coffee to an already wonderful brown ale just amplified the aroma in this beer. The coffee component dominates the nuttiness by a mile.
Taste - Just perfect in my opinion. The coffee does come through in spades in the taste as it does in the aroma. There is substantial malt sweetness which complements the coffee extremely well. There is some toasted bread and nutty flavor that comes through in mid-palate, but the end is all the aroma and bitterness brought on by the coffee.
Mouthfeel - Straddles the light-medium spectra, and this works perfectly for the beer. Highly quaffable stuff, though it might be more suitable for a cool evening, or a breakfast with sausage and scrambled eggs (I had this in the late afternoon in the mid-70s California summer) .
Overall - This beer came in a flight with the following beers, and clearly held its own:
1. Vietnamese Speedway Stout
2. World Tour Blend Speedway Stout
3. Barrel-Aged Speedway Stout 2013
If I were to rank them, I'd put them in this order:
1. BA Speedway / Vietnamese Nut Brown
2. Vietnamese Speedway
3. World Tour Blend
Need I say more!? I see myself camping out the brewery and filling up my growlers in the months to come. Go and get this while it's still available - easily a top 5 in its category, and possible top 20 of all the ones I've had the pleasure of imbibing.

Appearance - Medium brown with good carbonation. Has some viscosity to it, but it'll never be confused with it's bad@ss brother, Speedway.
Smell - Obvious notes of coffee, nut, hints of caramel/molasses.
Taste - Very balanced flavors. Coffee up front, followed by nutty flavor. Delicious and crazy good! Not sweet, but will still get notes of caramel.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied, smooth, no real bite of the alcohol.
Overall - Nut Brown was already one of my favorite brown ales even way back when it was called Nautical Nut Brown Ale. Then it was supplanted by Rogue's Hazelnut Brown Nectar. Then I had the Vietnamese Nut Brown during the Barrel Aged Speedway release party at the AleSmith facility/tasting room. This could've easily stole the show, but the BA Speedway was very delicious as well. I wouldn't be surprised, and really hope that they bottle this and release this. If I had to sum up this beer in a few words it would be: best brown ale, balanced, evenly viscous.

#Tip: This tool will send you an SMS if your site goes offline
Monitor is a tool that will send you a text message or email if your site or a particular URL goes offline.
Quite simply, Monitor will tell you by email or SMS when any of the websites that you are monitoring have gone offline, and will provide other stats showing you the site's uptime history.
The free service doesn't allow you to enable SMS alerts, and also restricts you to syncing your list of monitored sites once an hour. Paying the flat fee of $5.99 per month removes these restrictions and allows your Monitor to sync every five minutes, as well as unlocking a few other features.

Hotel Digital Signage
Hotel Digital Signage
To communicate important information to guests, to help them navigate through the hotel, and to bolster lobby and concierge services, hotel digital signage is being implemented in more and more hotels each year. Best of all, each of these benefits can be realized from a single hotel signage solution with industry-leading software from Four Winds Interactive. Plus, dynamic integration with your back-end systems provides you with an easy-to-use digital communication tool to control the visual displays throughout your entire property.
Common Types of Hotel Digital Signage
- Payment and Registry Kiosks. By providing an alternative to the main lobby desk for checking-out and payment transactions, guests can find a speedier, hassle-free way to depart from the hotel. Additional information and paperwork can be provided through these kiosks as opposed to checking-out by phone or other automated services.
- Wayfinding Stations. With digital mapping and optional 3D displays in select locations throughout the hotel, guests will no longer have to rely on remembering every last detail during the check-in process or the amateurish look of paper maps.
- Virtual Concierge. A virtual concierge will provide a directory of restaurants, entertainment, and other points of interest that is easy to access and intuitively organized. Typically, this content can be personalized to the local area and for hotel guests in a way that's superior to common Web-enabled devices.
Hotel Digital Signs
Along with self-service kiosks, hotel digital signs are another great way to use the Four Winds Interactive signage solution. Not only do they attract the attention of your guests, hotel digital signs also offer you a unique method to break through the clutter of boring paper signs and get your message noticed. Smart location of these signs is critical for overall success. Typically, some of the best areas for hotel digital signs are restaurants, gift shops, and transportation services where the versatility of digital sign boards can be best utilized. Digital displays and content are also great in lobbies, elevator banks, conference areas, and, of course, guest room TV channels.
What Hotel Digital Signage Can Do
- Guide guests with property mapping
- Act as a digital concierge for guests
- Integrate with your sales & event management system
- Display menus for on-property restaurants
- Inform guests of flight delays
- Display top news stories & live internet content
- Output multi-day weather forecast

When customers enter the Clarion University Store, they'll notice a fresh look to the store, as well as a fresh face keeping business running smoothly.
Anthony Marchewka is managing the store as an employee of Neebo, Inc., which last summer was awarded the contract to run the store. Marchewka has worked with Neebo since 2007, most recently managing an off-campus store for Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio.
He had been looking for an opportunity to move to an on-campus store, as well as to relocate closer to Buffalo, N.Y., where he grew up. At Clarion University, he met both goals at once.
John Owens, chairman of Clarion Students' Association Board of Directors and a current Clarion student, said students were very involved in the process of selecting a new company to manage the store. A primary concern for them was competitive prices in the textbook business.
Through Neebo, The Clarion University Store has implemented a Best Price Promise, Marchewka said.
"If a customer finds a better price on a textbook (unless it's peer-to-peer), we will match it," he said.
Textbook rental also allows the store to offer competitive prices. The University Store rents all textbooks. Students can usually save 50 percent or more if they rent their textbooks for a semester.
Because of the store's affiliation with Neebo, if the Clarion University Store runs out of stock on a textbook, employees can search for it at other Neebo-affiliated school stores to fulfill the order, Marchewka said.
He's excited about the store's new clothing layout, which he describes as "fresher and easier to shop." As customers browse the store, they'll notice the addition of Nike and Under Armour gear, as well as Perrin and other traditional clothing products, which he describes as high in quality, but lower cost.
Marchewka said the first few weeks of the spring semester have been hectic, but he is enjoying interacting with the Clarion University community.
He and his wife, Kathleen, plan to relocate to the Clarion area at the end of the school year. Their family includes five children and a granddaughter.

We've had a good 18 years and I am proud of my record." Well, he is just about the only one who is proud of it. Buh-bye. Also, from Virginia:U.S. Sen. George Allen is expected to concede the race for the Senate today.
Allen's concession to Democrat Jim Webb would pave the way for the Democrats to gain a majority in the U.S. Senate.
Allen will hold a 3 p.m. news conference at the historic Carlyle House in Old Town Alexandria.
The Allen campaign has been monitoring the local canvassing of the election results and has not seen enough change to affect the outcome. Webb won by about 7,000 votes out of 2.3 million cast. Assuming that Joe Lieberman caucuses with Democrats, that officially gives us control. I don't think there is much remaining energy to strip Lieberman of his seniority, since it could mean we don't take control. This could very well be a DLC dominated Senate for two years, but we will have the agenda, subpoena power, and much more influence over judges. However, considering that in 2008 and 2010 Republicans must defend a wide swath of seats, we will have the opportunity to build a much more progressive Senate relatively soon. And controlling the Senate at all is a vast, vast improvement on our previous position. In 2008, at the very least, I think we have good chances to win Oregon, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Virginia, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Colorado. It will be a target rich environment. Diarist jgkojak has more on this.
Maybe, in a way, it is better that it took two extra days for the Senate to officially become ours. That way, Nancy Pelosi was featured in the news for two days, and now Harry Reid can have his turn. It is particularly sweet that Montana and Virginia put us over the top, showing once again that the people-powered movement can make a big impact in red states too.

For a few days I was starting to wonder if we were on the right side (after all, if heaven rejoiced, then whoever did the bombing must have been doing God's will). After a little research, I came to believe that there is no chance that the twin towers could represent Babylon. According to the timeline of events the Bible gives, it is not time for Babylon to fall yet. Therefore, when I saw the picture on the side of the building, it kind of reaffirmed to me that the bombingbold> was/bold> the work of Satan. It was kind of a reaffirmation that yes, we are on the right side. This was an evil act, committed by evil people. Just because God put a stamp on it to show us all that it was an evil act should not make us more afraid or "spooked" than we were before. Evil may have won the round, but we know they can not win the war. We should all thank God for pointing evil out to us in such an amazing way. So often, evil acts and evil people are not recognized for what they are. I, for one, see this sign as a good and comforting thing, a message >from my Lord to remind me that this tragedy was an evil act and that it will not go unpunished by God. br>br>br>br>

The most evil film ever made was probably Jud Suess, commissioned by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels in 1940 to fan hatred of the Jews on the eve of the Final Solution. A thousand years of European anti-Semitism were condensed in the image of the cowering rapist Suess, with his dirty beard, hook nose, and whining voice. The audience was instigated to rejoice in the lynching of this subhuman monster at the film's end.
To anyone who has ever seen Jud Suess (as I did in college), the most startling thing about Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ — even more than its relentless, shockingly eroticized cruelty — is its fidelity to the anti-Semitic conventions of Hitlerian cinema.
Indeed, the high priest Caiaphas and his colleagues are such exact, blatant replicas of Suess that I suspect they must be direct borrowings. Moreover, Passion is one of the most manipulative films ever made and, after two hours watching mobs howling in delight at Christ's suffering, it is no wonder that many devout American viewers, like their German predecessors, have left theaters muttering, "I hate the Jews."
The Romans, on the other hand, are shown as noble imperialists. In contrast to the vile Caiaphas, Pontius Pilate is depicted by Gibson as a sympathetic, even saintly figure, tragically trapped between orders from
As in Suess, moreover, there is a constant contrasting of somatic stereotypes. Mediterranean types — the two Mary's, Pilate and his wife, and so on — are rendered with softened features and sensitive spirits, while the Semites — Caiaphas, sybaritic King Herod, and so on — are depicted as coarse and repulsively sensual. (In a contemporary American context, such heavy-handed visual anti-Semitism, of course, instantly summons up anti-Arab connotations as well.)
Gibson's insistence on using original languages — Aramaic and Latin — has impressed naive viewers that Passion represents some new benchmark in historical accuracy. In fact, history (the little actually recorded of these events, apart from the posthumous theology of the gospels) is bizarrely inverted.
Jesus, of course, is an utterly enigmatic figure. The only 'facts' in his life — as attested by both Roman and Jewish historians — is that he existed and was executed by the Romans. Pilate, on the other hand, has left a slightly larger record.
Unlike Gibson's kindly fiction, the historical Pilate was an ordinary imperial procurator in a third-class province who kept his legions busy with brutal executions of Jewish and Samaritan rebels.
Some American critics, however, have tried to defend The Passion by pointing out that Gibson's real bête noire is the
But the "tradition" he so zealously defends is precisely the anti-Semitic Catholic fascism of former Spanish dictator General Francisco Franco and Pope Pius XII. And, like Franco ideologues and their Croatian fascist counterparts of that era, Gibson has the same morbid, vengeful obsession with pain, mutilation, bodily corruption, and the ever-present temptation of Satan (who constantly prowls the perimeter of his film).
In short, Passion is the medieval vision of a pogromist, amplified by

Can This Marriage Be Saved? You Be The Judge
October 22, 2010 at 7:35 am , by Jennifer Castoro
Ladies' Home Journal has been around for a loooooong time (128 years to be precise). And while we're not normally ones to brag, allow us just a smidgen of gloating: Our famous column, Can This Marriage Be Saved?, has been a huge favorite since it debuted in the magazine in January 1953. Throughout the 57 years we've run the column (much longer than most marriages, I might add), we've tackled everything from cheating spouses to secret porn habits, fights over the stepkids to battles over the dog. Though the complaints are different, one theme always emerges, whether the couple in question each month has a ton of tiny problems or a few massive ones: Communication helps EVERYTHING.
In the spirit of our celebrated, iconic column, we'd like to ask you to referee the battle between our controversial couples. Each Thursday, we'll take a classic case from the column and give you the chance to weigh in. Our debut story is the very first Can This Marriage Be Saved? article published in LHJ (the black-and-white image above ran in the issue!), involving Guy, a 25-year-old mechanic, and Diana, a 22-year-old secretary, who've been married for six years. (A bride at 16! Suddenly I feel behind in life.) Read more

Question: How old is your son now?
Question: Other than new work, are there any dream roles you have? Especially doing this Tennessee Williams show, would you like to play any of his women?
Question: And now you're getting ready for Love Therapy.
22 Mar 2013
Photo by Bob Marshak
Fraser: My son is 22, and he'll be 23 on April 5 if anybody wants to send him any presents! [Laughs.] He just moved into his own apartment, and he's flown the coop, and he has a lovely job in post-production down in SoHo at a wonderful facility, and he's happy and works very, very hard! He's cooked to perfection! [Laughs.] Golden brown.
Fraser: Everybody wants to play Blanche DuBois, but I think I'm getting to do my version of her in this show, and it's a version that nobody's ever seen before because it's done through extant music and this is certainly a dream role, but I have to say, my dream role is the next original role I get to do. I love originating parts. I love it. That's not to say I don't have a great time doing other things. I'm going to be doing Anna Christie this summer up at the Berkshire Theatre Festival, and that's going to be great! I'm playing Marthy, and I'm so looking forward to that. I've never done O'Neill before, and that's going to be absolutely thrilling… My dream role was a part I never got to play, and now obviously I'm not going to play because I've aged out of it, and that was Sally Bowles. And, I was cast in Cabaret once when it was in France. I remember it was kind of a racy audition because you had to show your fanny because the costumes were sort of Folies Bergere-type costumes, and it was like, "Oh God… Okay, here goes." You had to actually show something-something at the audition, and I got cast, and I think it was to replace Ute Lemper. And, we're talking 25 years ago or something like that, but it was a huge version of Cabaret, and it broke down in contracts, so I didn't get to do that, so that was a big regret. If there's one other part that I would like to play, I'd like to be Peter Pan. I was an acrobat when I was a kid, and I'd like to fly once before I die or retire, and I also have a bent on it that I think is interesting. I don't think of Peter Pan as a benign creature. I'd like to do him a little bit scruffier than he's normally done. I don't think he's as perky and cute…as he's portrayed a lot. I would like to play a dark Peter Pan. I don't think that there's anything healthy about not wanting to grow up. I think growing up is a great, great privilege, and trying to hang onto youth is actually a dangerous proposition, and that's something I'd like to do with Peter Pan.
Fraser: We're going to be playing at the DR2, owned by my fabulous and wonderful friend and producer Daryl Roth, and we'll be there from the end of April through May, and we have a fantastic cast… The first reading was very exciting. It's a very tense play, and anytime you're dealing with a play about therapy, everybody, again, brings their own issues to it, and I think that this is going to be a very exciting play for the audience — just like last year I did A Charity Case, and that's where I first met the wonderful Wendy Beckett, who's become a great friend. I just think she's a lovely playwright. I think she writes plays about important subjects, and Charity Case was about the triangular relationship between an adopted mother, a birth mother and a child going through difficulties. And, the conversations you would hear afterwards were just so incredibly intense. Some people thought I was the bad guy, some people thought the birth mother was the bad guy, some people thought the teenage girl was the problem. With Wendy's material, you really bring your own life into what she has to offer. So I'm excited to see what happens.
Question: How old is your son now?
Question: Other than new work, are there any dream roles you have? Especially doing this Tennessee Williams show, would you like to play any of his women?
Question: And now you're getting ready for Love Therapy.

Wood has short, strong outing
Throws 12 pitches in rehab outing for Class A Peoria
ST. LOUIS -- Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood threw 12 pitches in one inning on Tuesday night for Class A Peoria, as he continued his rehab.
Wood, pitching in Peoria against Fort Wayne, came on in relief in the fifth inning. He got a first-pitch groundout by Fort Wayne's Michael Campbell to start the inning, then walked Jodam Rivera on five pitches. The next batter, Jesus Lopez, grounded out to short, and Matt Stocco flew out to center.
For the inning, Wood threw 12 pitches, and the radar gun at O'Brien Field registered 91-94 mph.
Wood is scheduled to throw on Thursday and Friday for Peoria, and Cubs general manager Jim Hendry plans on attending Friday's game.
The right-hander, sidelined because of shoulder issues, appeared in four games for the Cubs' Rookie League team in Mesa, Ariz. On Saturday, he threw 17 pitches in one inning, and gave up one hit, and walked one.
"He's still got a ways to go," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said Sunday. "To his credit, he's worked hard, and gotten himself in position where he's on our radar screen."

Illegal Versions of HBP OnlineNotHBPSpoiler
July 21, 2005, 05:21 PM
Illegal, downloadable versions of HBP are the subject of a recent article in Wired's online magazine. It seems that a few people scanned the entirity of the book, in violation of copyright laws, and distributed it on peer-to-peer networks. Such a distribution is illegal in most countries, and in the US, under the recent Grokster ruling, it is possible that operators of websites, chatrooms and mailing lists that allow links to such ebooks are also engaging in infringement of JKR's work. Neil Blair, an attorney in JK Rowling's agent's office, said:
"Well over 10 million people (bought the book) on July 16 alone; people still like reading books on paper. Whilst I do not want to belittle the piracy, proportionally compared to traditional sales, it is tiny."
Just a reminder - anyone linking to or offering ebook versions of HBP or any other book on TLC, the Chamber of Chat or the Leaky Lounge, will have their post removed and may face other consequences.

Andrew Bynum on being dealt for Dwight Howard: "I don't regret anything and personally I think they traded No. 1 for No. 2." Well then.— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) December 16, 2012

Endless fun to be had at this Hampshire country estate
the outstanding service at this majestic country house hotel that offers the best afternoon tea in Hampshire!
Romantics love Tylney Hall's red brick beauty.
Historians relish in the period details. Foodies flock to the Oak
Room Restaurant while pleasure-seekers head to the Spa (five
treatment rooms, a gym, saunas and a whirlpool). Golfers mosey on
over to the adjacent 18-hole course. Even the children and
teenagers are occupied (treasure hunts, board games, swimming, a
dvd film library…). The family dog too, with walking routes within
the estate. So, looking beyond its grand façade and acres of
ornamental gardens and parkland, this impressive Grade II listed
Mansion is more resort-hotel than stately home. Yes, traditional
comfort of squishy sofas, panelled walls and shelves stacked with
books maintain Tylney's classic style, yet a modern gloss keeps
this Hampshire escape slick and fresh. Luxuriously appointed, some
bedrooms and suites have four-poster beds and spa baths, but all
are filled with masses of natural light and old school elegance.
For lunch and dinner, the much-talked-about Oak Room Restaurant is
Head Chef Stephen Hine's gift to the world. Placing a modern twist
on classic dishes, it's become a leader in Hampshire's dining scene
and during the summer a terrace opens up for alfresco dining
looking out to where the wooded trails, lake, orchard and Victorian
greenhouses are hidden. Note to party planners: Tylney has 12
private banqueting rooms.
Send Julian Fellows to Tylney Hall Hotel in Hampshire
and another delightful period drama destined for global success
would undoubtedly be born. For it's impossible not to find
inspiration at this Victorian mansion set in leafy countryside. It
writes itself: passed down within the Tylney family to finally be
demolished for money, mining magnate Sir Lionel Philips brings the
Hall back to life in 1900. Transformed into a hospital during WWI
and after two private ownerships it becomes a boarding school
before its current incarnation: Tylney Hall hotel. Sir Lionel's red
brick giant is what we know as Tylney today whose interior is a
fold in time with marble fireplaces, period furnishings and wood
panelling. Outside is no less impressive. The gardens are an
attraction in their own right and photo-pretty backdrops for
wedding albums. Tylney's staff intuitively know what's appropriate
and suited to each occasion. Weddings/civil partnerships, as
dramatic or intimate as desired, are organised down to a tee.
Meetings and conferences are allocated the most suitable setting,
and private dining, exclusive use and team building can all be
arranged. Both tailor-made and à la carte menus are executed by the
creative kitchen whose penchant for local produce pays
Tylney Hall offers the perfect location to relax and de-stress from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Arrive at your leisure during the afternoon and check in to your luxurious accommodation. Choose from one of the following treatments for you and your partner to enjoy (one treatment per person): Relaxing Back Massage, Express Facial, Eye Rescue Treatment, Indian Head Massage or Vitaman Express facial. After your treatment why not take a walk in the beautiful and breathtaking historic gardens or simply unwind with a pre-dinner drink on the Italian Terrace overlooking the Vista before dinner in the award winning Oak Room Restaurant.
Prices start from just £350.00 per night, based on two adults sharing and include one beauty treatment per person, 3 course dinner in the Oak Room Restaurant, luxurious accommodation with full English breakfast, residential use of the leisure facilities and VAT.
Please note that all Beauty Treatments should be pre-booked prior to arrival.
Valid from 1 Jan 2013 to 31 Dec 2014
Tylney Hall Hotel is the perfect setting for a Romantic Break. Take a leisurely stroll along the beautiful Vista lined with giant redwoods, inhale the heady fragrance in the Rose Garden, trail your fingers in the exquisite Water Gardens and enjoy the view of the lake from the boathouse bridge.
Rates start from just £350.00 per night based on two sharing a Deluxe Bedroom and include Champagne and chocolates in your room on arrival, 3 course dinner in our award winning Oak Room Restaurant, a rose on your pillow at turn down, luxurious accommodation with full English or continental breakfast, early check in at 1pm and Late check out at 12 noon - subject to availability, use of the hotel's luxury health & leisure facilities throughout your stay and VAT.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (November 12, 2013) – Santa's Helpers at Hudson Valley Hospital Center need your help to make wishes come true for local children and their families.
In an annual tradition, Hudson Valley Hospital Center employees are raising funds to buy holiday gifts for deserving children in the Cortlandt Manor area. Since July, employees have been raising funds to support the Hospital's annual labor of love.
"Last year we had Hurricane Sandy and that made fundraising a bit of a challenge. We are hoping that this year we will be able to raise more than we did last year,'' said John Federspiel, President of Hudson Valley Hospital Center, who started the tradition 18 years ago. "We have so many generous people at the Hospital and in the community who support this great cause. Thanks to all of them we have been able to keep going year after year."
The Hospital plans to spend $125 per child on about 100 children, and will add a child for each $125 that it raises. The Westchester County Department of Social Services provides the Hospital with wish lists from families.
On Dec. 18 at 1 p.m. in the Wagner Conference Room staff will begin wrapping gifts that will be delivered to families in need. Pajamas and books, dolls, trucks, boots, socks and tons of toys will be packaged in a few short hours. Santa is expected to stop by to supervise the Hospital elves at work.
But before the wrapping can begin, employees must continue to do some fundraising and shopping. To raise money, the Hospital staff sold raffles and employees paid $10 each for the privilege of wearing denim to work on two Fridays.
Sue Lepore, facilitator of the program in the administration office at HVHC, has the job of sorting through letters containing the wish lists of needy children and their families. She then assigns gift shopping to Hospital employees who spend an entire afternoon wrapping the gifts at a festive wrapping party. Many times families and social service workers stop by during the afternoon to pick up the gifts.
"We hope that people in the community will help us to support this very worthy project,'' said Lepore. "These children ask for so little. We try to make this a great holiday by giving them more than they request.''
For more information on donating to the Santa's Helper's Project visit www.hvhc.org or call Sue Lepore at 914-734- 3287.

I switched from BCD to FD. stability is great but what about the sync slave????
It looks like this is not performing as well as on bcd:
You have to keep on to either clicking on Sync Slave to keep the mix in sync, or the old fashion way: find the right pitch manually, using your ears.
Sometimes on FD, over clicking on Sync Slave, throws your mix completely off, resulting in embarrassing double beat mix - so you want to avoid clicking on sync slave.
With BCD - a single click on sync slave did the job.
Anyone has a solution? I'm contemplating going back to BCD

An oppidum (plural oppida) is a large defended Iron Age settlement. They are associated with the Celtic late La Tène culture, emerging during the 2nd[dubious ] and 1st centuries BCE, spread across Europe, stretching from Britain and Iberia in the west to the edge of the Hungarian plain in the east. They continued in use until the Romans began conquering Europe. North of the River Danube, where the population remained independent from Rome, oppida continued to be used into the 1st century.
Oppidum is a Latin word meaning the main settlement in any administrative area of ancient Rome. The word is derived from the earlier Latin ob-pedum, "enclosed space," possibly from the Proto-Indo-European *pedóm-, "occupied space" or "footprint." Julius Caesar described the larger Celtic Iron Age settlements he encountered in Gaul as oppida, and the term is now used to describe the large pre-Roman towns that existed all across western and central Europe.
In archaeology and pre-history, the term oppida refers to a category of settlement; it was first used in this sense by Reinecke, Dechelette and Dehn in reference to Bibracte, Manching, and Závist.[1][2] Most definitions of oppida emphasise the presence of fortifications, so they are different from undefended farms or settlements; and urban characteristics, marking them as separate from hill forts. They originated in the 2nd[dubious ] and 1st centuries BC, a product of Europe's La Tène culture and a notional minimum size of 20 to 25 hectares (49 to 62 acres) has often been suggested, although it is flexible and fortified sites as small as 2 hectares (4.9 acres) have been described as oppida. However, the term is not always rigorously used, and has been used to refer to any hill fort dating from the La Tène period. One of the effects of this inconsistency in definitions is that it is uncertain how many oppida were built.[3]
Location and type[edit]
According to prehistorian John Collis oppida extend as far east as the Hungarian plain where other settlement types take over.[4] Central Spain has sites similar to oppida, but while they share features such as size and defensive ramparts the interior was arranged differently.[5]
The main features of the oppida are the walls and gates, the spacious layout, and commanding view of the surrounding area. According to Jane McIntosh, the "impressive ramparts with elaborate gateways ... were probably as much for show and for controlling the movement of people and goods as for defense".[6]
Size and construction varied considerably. Typically oppida in Bohemia and Bavaria were much larger than those found in the north and west of France. Typically oppida in Britain are small, but there is a group of large oppida in the south east; though oppida are uncommon in northern Britain, Stanwick stands out as an unusual example as it covers 350 hectares (860 acres). Stone walls supported by a bank of earth, called Kelheim ramparts, were characteristic of oppida in central Europe. To the east timbers were often used to support the earthen ramparts, called the Preist type. In western Europe, the murus gallicus, a timber frame nailed together, was the dominant form of rampart construction. Dump ramparts, that is earth unsupported by timber, were common in Britain and were later adopted in France.[7] Oppida can be divided into two broad groups, those around the Mediterranean coast and those further inland. The latter group were larger, more varied, and spaced further apart.[8]
Prehistoric Europe saw a growing population. According to Jane McIntosh, in about 5,000 BC during the Neolithic between 2 million and 5 million lived in Europe;[9] in the Late [Pre-Roman] Iron Age (2nd and 1st centuries B.C.) it had an estimated population of around 15 to 30 million.[9] Outside Greece and Italy, which were more densely populated, the vast majority of settlements in the Iron Age were small, with perhaps no more than 50 inhabitants. While hill forts could accommodate up to 1,000 people, oppida in the Late Iron Age could reach as large as 10,000 inhabitants.[9]
Oppida originated in the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. Most were built on fresh sites, usually on an elevated position. Such a location would have allowed the settlement to dominate nearby trade routes and may also have been important as a symbol of control of the area.[6] For instance at the oppidum of Ulaca in Spain the height of the ramparts is not uniform: those overlooking the valley are considerably higher than those facing towards the mountains in the area. The traditional explanation is that the smaller ramparts were unfinished because the region was invaded by the Romans; however, archaeologist John Collis dismisses this explanation because the inhabitants managed to build a second rampart extending the site by 20 hectares (49 acres) to cover an area of 80 hectares (200 acres). Instead he believes the role of the ramparts as a status symbol may have been more important than their defensive qualities.[10]
While some oppida grew from hill forts, by no means all of them had significant defensive functions. The development of oppida was a milestone in the urbanisation of the continent as they were the first large settlements north of the Mediterranean that could genuinely be described as towns[citation needed]. Caesar pointed out that each tribe of Gaul would have several oppida but that they were not all of equal importance, perhaps implying some form of settlement hierarchy.
Oppida continued in use until the Romans began conquering Iron Age Europe. In Germany north of the River Danube, which remained unsubdued by the Romans, oppida continued in use until the late 1st century AD.[6] In conquered lands, the Romans used the infrastructure of the oppida to administer the empire, and many became full Roman towns. This often involved a change of location from the hilltop into the plain.
