Oh, man, the temptation.
Aroldis Chapman discovered the fountain of control this offseason. Remember when he was broken and fighting through Steve Blass Disease? No more. He can throw strikes, and he can throw them a million miles per hour. He applies this skill about once every other Reds game.
The temptation is to have him apply that skill for seven, eight, or nine innings every fifth day. You don't have to speculate what a successful conversion would look like. We've seen it. It had a mullet and a mustache, and it led to a World Series championship, a perfect game, and over 300 wins. That's what happens when the most electric left-handed arm in the world suddenly throws strikes, when it suddenly moves pitches in and out of the zone at will.
Chapman in the rotation, where he'd replace an underachieving Mike Leake, is a heckuva temptation.
Alas, it's not going to happen. The Reds are in first place by a bunch. They've won 15 of their last 16 games, and are are 19-3 in the second half. They've achieved this kind of success in very specific ways, and one of those ways is having Aroldis Chapman pitch in the ninth innings of games. It's worked, and it's worked really, really well so far. There's no real reason to make wholesale changes right now.
Here's the Reds' consolation prize: They have a ridiculous bullpen. This means something to Cincinnati fans, who last enjoyed a World Series win behind a three-headed monster of a bullpen. Twenty-two years ago, the Reds won the World Series in no small part because of the contributions of Randy Myers, Norm Charlton, and Rob Dibble. That bunch had a nickname. They probably had a rap song or something, though you can be damned sure I'm not looking that up.
And that's where their success is coming from in 2012. They have Joey Votto going Canadian ape on the league. Johnny Cueto is in his third-straight season of not allowing home runs, and he's boosting his strikeouts and limiting his walks at the same time. But other than those two, the offense and rotation are pretty ordinary. Some guys are having good years; some guys are having down years. The team OPS+ is 95, and the starters have a collective 3.70 ERA. The first part is acceptable, and the latter part is good, but not run-away-with-the-Central good.
It's the bullpen that's going nuts. Chapman is in the middle of one of the greatest relief seasons of all-time -- the perfect pitcher for the lofty-strikeout era. Jose Arredondo is keeping runs of the board, even if he isn't necessarily keeping runners off the bases. Sean Marshall is pitching extremely well in a setup role, Sam LeCure and Alfredo Simon are giving good innings in the back of the bullpen, and even Logan Ondrusek is doing well, despite the handicap of obviously being a hockey player.
The Reds also added Jonathan Broxton at the trading deadline. Regardless of what you think about the sustainability of Broxton's renaissance with Kansas City, you have to be somewhat optimistic about his chances to be the fifth or sixth option out of the bullpen. It's almost certainly the deepest bullpen in the game right now.
Reminder: Ryan Madson was supposed to be on this team.
With all of this depth, you can start to dream about Chapman in the rotation. Would the team really miss one lousy ol' reliever? It's tempting. Oh, man, the temptation.
But don't forget last season. The Rangers and Cardinals each made the World Series despite a rotation running on fumes. Out of ten games leading up to the World Series, the Rangers had a starter pitch a full six innings exactly twice. And, even then, it was exactly six innings.
The Cardinals had Jaime Garcia pitch seven innings and Chris Carpenter throw a complete game in the NLDS, but in the NLCS, they didn't have a starting pitcher make it into the sixth inning. The World Series champions didn't have a starting pitcher go longer than six innings in the National League Championship Series. It boggles the mind.
So if the trend is toward super-bullpens in the playoffs, the Reds are well set up. They're the hottest team in baseball, and though there's a temptation to put the electric arm of Chapman into the rotation, you can understand why it isn't going to happen. Things are going pretty well as is. And the teams in the 2011 World Series are a good reminder that a ridiculously deep bullpen can make up for a lot of flaws in a short series. The Reds have a ridiculously deep bullpen, alright. And it's one of the reasons they're taking command of the NL Central.
If that recent history is any guide, that bullpen is why they might be postseason favorites. The next step is to get that far.

Beyonce Unveils New H&M Summer Collection
Beyonce is summertime fine in her new promo for H&M!
Earlier this year, it appeared as though she jetted off to the Bahamas to celebrate baby Blue Ivy's birthday, but now we know what she was really doing out on that sunny island. According to reports, she was there to shoot a number of commercials, print ads and billboards for her new H&M Summer 2013 campaign titled, "Beyonce as Mrs. Carter For H&M."
[Okay so by now, we pretty much know this new album will be titled 'Mrs. Carter' right?]
While speaking on the commercial, which will be released next month and feature the exclusive Baddie Bey track, "Standing on the Sun", Beyonce revealed:
It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial. I've always liked H&M's focus on fun affordable fashion. I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements – fire, water, earth and wind.
Ann-Sofie Johansson, head of design at H&M, also revealed that the collection is filled with clothes that fit Beyonce's personal style and fans can expect pieces such as bodycon dresses, beach gowns, high-waist shorts, sleeveless shirts and tie-dye bikinis.
Get your own taste of Beyonce's new collection with H&M when they hit stores and online in May.

Any of the city council or friends getting priority on those 16 residential units? Hmmm?
on Aug 1, 2013 at 9:15 am
"Castle Companies' first plans in the early 2000s called for a three-story structure with residential condos, commercial offices, retail stores and an underground parking garage."
I was for that original idea! Too many people have a bug up their rear about "three stories". If done right, it should be allowed. Even Mt Diablo rises in stages. Downtown should develop upward.
I have GREATLY LIKED Castle Companies residential designs in the past, so I'm very interested to see what they come up with.
However, I'm already 95% sure that I WON'T like what will be designed here.
I doubt there will be ENOUGH PARKING for all uses (and I suspect the parking will be crowded (scratches) and uncovered).
I doubt I'll like one-story designs.
I doubt there will be exterior living via overlooking decking patios.
I doubt there will be enough sound-proofing, light, and ventilation.
I doubt there will be enough architectural sizzle and high-end appeal.
But I'll still look to see what they design. Surprise me, Castle!

Standard parameter entry class using a function object.
This is the standard parameter entry class that uses a function object to actually set/retrieve parameter values. The nice thing about using a function object is it allows one to set parameters that don't actually exist in the code, for example, setting a dimensionless group value by modifiying a number of physical parameters. By supplying an appropriate function object, this class should suffice for setting/retrieving parameter values in nearly all cases.
The constructor takes a pointer to the supplied function object. It is assumed that this class then owns that pointer, and in particular, calls delete in the destructor if the entry is successfully added to the library. It does not delete the function object otherwise.

TO: Washington Cadastral Framework Project (CFP) Partners
FROM: Carrie Wolfe, CFP Project Manager
Information Technology Division
SUBJECT: Cadastral Framework DRAFT Partner Agreements and Meeting Notices
As indicated in the status report I mailed out earlier this month, one of the tasks we have been working on is a Draft Partner Agreement for the Cadastral Framework participants. I was able to speak with many of you on the phone last week about some of the issues that surfaced in trying to define certain portions of the Draft Partner Agreement. Some of the issues we need to discuss as a group include; appropriate use of the Cadastral Framework data during Phase 1 and Phase 2 and beyond, and the potential need for a steering committee or advisory committee for the future of the project. There was definite interest in getting together as a group to discuss these issues. A meeting is scheduled for August 18th immediately following the Framework Management Group meeting (please see the enclosed meeting notice).
I have enclosed the Draft Partner Agreement for your review and input. Please note that this is just a draft and may change depending on Partner input. When finalized, the Partner Agreement will need to be signed by a person with authority to bind an organization to a legal agreement. Please provide written feedback to me regarding the Draft Partner Agreement (mail, e-mail, or fax) by August 7, 1998. I will summarize the input for discussion at the August 18th meeting.
A Partner training notice is also enclosed. This will be to train the Partners on the Internet data distribution application for Phase 1. The training is scheduled for September 3rd from 9:00am to 11:00am. We will be using the Washington Interactive Technologies (WIT) video conference sites for this training.

Hannah MacGibbon's pre-fall collection for Chloé; was chock-full of clean, almost preppy separates, but we couldn't take our eyes off the shoes. Spiffed-up takes on penny loafers, they looked just as good with her androgynous suits as they did with her soft cocktail dresses. These chocolate brown loafers from Mariano Napoli are better than a temporary stand-in until the Chloé versions hit stores this summer. Handmade, they'll last you for ages—or at least until preppy comes back around again. Click the image to shop.

A car, traveling northbound on Hacks Cross Road in Germantown, was struck by another car and eventually hit by an on-coming train after it had stopped abruptly in front of railroad tracks that had activated its railroad flashing lights.
There were no reported injuries from the Tuesday morning traffic accident, Germantown police said. The incident took place at around 9 a.m.
The car that had stopped abruptly after railroad crossing warning flashers were activated and the crossing gates began to drop, was hit by another car from behind, causing minor damage. The force of the impact forced the first car onto the railroad tracks.
The motorist exited her car while it sat on the tracks in gear. The car rolled forward onto the railroad tracks and was struck on the passenger side by the on-coming train. The car was pushed 75 feet by the train after it collided with the car, police said.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation.

From Thomas J. Hollister
Chair, Board of Trustees
I am following up on President Crutcher's announcement of his decision to step down as President of Wheaton College at the end of the next academic year, June 30, 2014. Ten years ago, I had the opportunity to chair the committee that recruited President Crutcher to Wheaton. When we selected our new President, we had no idea how fortunate Wheaton would be, or what a wonderful President he would become. President Crutcher will be greatly missed. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I want to thank him for his remarkable tenure and many contributions.
The goals that we set for his presidency—in consultation with the college community in 2003-04—centered on our shared desire to strengthen Wheaton by building on its distinctive liberal arts curriculum, enhancing its academic reputation in the wider world and fully enlisting the active support of our extended community.
Wheaton has made enormous strides forward in those areas thanks to President Crutcher's dedication to advancing the college. So much has been accomplished under his tenure:
‣ The college's reach and reputation has been enhanced and extended in large part due to President Crutcher's national stature and the manner in which he has tirelessly told the Wheaton story.
‣ Wheaton continues to be pedagogically innovative, offering a vibrant, inventive and evolving curriculum taught by an exceptionally talented and committed faculty.
‣ Our students give Wheaton high marks in national polls that measure student engagement.
‣ The faculty praises the intellectual capacity of the students, who have never been more diverse or accomplished with national and international awards, scholarships and fellowships.
‣ The incoming class of 2017 is expected to be the third largest in the school's history.
‣ The college's campus has never offered more or looked better, including excitement generated by the new Mars Science Center and new Diane C. Nordin '80 Turf Field.
‣ The alumnae/i are proud of their college and support it financially at unsurpassed levels in the annual Wheaton Fund drives.
‣ The college has raised more money in the "Go Beyond" capital campaign than any campaign in its history, and has already surpassed its original $120 million target.
‣ The administration comprises an exceptionally talented group of vice presidents.
‣ An inventive and dedicated staff has consistently enabled the college to respond to new opportunities while sustaining myriad critical services and systems.
‣ The school has been guided with a steady and determined hand during one of the most challenging eras in the history of higher education.
President Crutcher has led our college with great success, grace, integrity and devotion. The Trustees are most grateful for his leadership and thankful for his contributions. A year from now, he will leave his successor with an institution benefitting from the momentum of success and full of promise.
I am pleased to announce that Nancy Conger, vice chair of the Board of Trustees and a graduate of the Class of '67, will chair the search committee. Nancy has been an active member of the Wheaton community for many years with Alumnae/i Association activities, fundraising and board service. She is a wonderful leader with a deep devotion to the school. The committee will be composed of trustees, faculty, staff and students and will begin its work this summer. You will hear directly from Nancy as the committee's work unfolds. I know she plans for the committee to reach out to the broad Wheaton community for advice and counsel on their important undertaking.
In the coming year we look forward to finding ways to thank and honor President Crutcher for his service to Wheaton. We also look forward to thanking Betty Neal Crutcher, who is a wonderful supporter of the college, an exceptional ambassador to the community, a friend to graduates of all classes and a mentor to hundreds of students. I can share with you that the Trustees are planning to announce a new trustee-led effort as part of the capital campaign to raise endowed scholarship funds for the college in the coming year in honor of Ron and Betty, with an opportunity for all donors to participate.

And now we come to the last Grand Ridge beer in the gift pack, so far my verdict is an emphatic: "I want my money back", but who knows maybe the Hatlifter Stout will totally redeem this awfully over awarded brewery in my eyes? Let's just say I'm not holding my breath on that for now.
Poured from a 330ml bottle into a nonic pint.
A: I gave it a lively pour after the disaster of the Natural Blonde and this yielded a Coca-Cola brown bodied brew with a tan coloured cappuccino foam 2cm head that shrank down to 0.5cm. At least it looks like a stout, good start Grand Ridge.
S: Aroma is quite a mix of dark chocolate with roasted malt and a note of chicory and vanilla bean. None of that charred smoky aroma that we find in most stouts which is somewhat of a relief actually.
T: As expected that mix of dark chocolate and chicory comes the forefront of the taste buds followed a slight burnt malt base, some dark fruits and vanilla bean, finishes with a minor bitter end and a boozy note - not unlike a dash of brandy in a Christmas pudding.
M: Medium bodied with a light carbonation and a bit of slickness that you usually find in good stouts.
D: This is by far the stand-out beer of the gift pack and if it was cheaper I could easily see myself buying more. It's a shame I bought and tried the gift pack instead of just buying a six pack of these otherwise I would have high praises for Grand Ridge, then again Grand Ridge shouldn't be releasing sub-par beers in a gift pack either. Anyway it ticks the boxes of a good stout: bold flavour, decent body, booze notes and slick mouthfeel, give it a go.
Food match: This is more a dessert stout than a main course stout, and that dessert is anything with gratuitous amounts of chocolate. Also would go well with a nice Cuban corona cigar.

On tap at the brewery.
A: Served a black color with a bit of red around the edges. Good tan head that faces to nice lacing.
S: Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate and some dark fruit.
T: Taste of roasted malt, some coffee and dark chocolate with a bit of nuts in the background.
F: medium body, smooth and nicely balanced. Just a bit on the sweet side.
O: Nice beer for the style, nothing fancy.

No BB
Pours black. Half finger head dies. Spotty lace.
Aromas of dark chocolate. Sweet. Hint of roast malt.
Taste is light. Dark chocolate on front palate then the whole lot does to nothing. Watery and thin. Sweet. Slight roasty bitterness on back palate to balance.
Mouthfeel is so light as to be non-existent.
Overall, the tatse is OK, but the body is plain wrong. Never had such a light bodied and lighty carbed beer.

A - Pours a viscous black with a finger of creamy tan head with good retention.
S - Nice roasty stout aroma, chocolate, almonds.
T - Chocolate, sweet sultana and blackberry. Quite deserty.
M - Medium dusty body, plenty of chalk and sweetness. Medium carbonation.
O - Quite like this one.

2.98/5 rDev -11.6%
Bottle: good brown 330mL bottle, good labels - reserved and somewhat classy.
Appearance: translucent black with a small creamy head.
Aroma: roast toffee and coffee malts with sweet dark fruits and chocolate. Impressive.
Taste: not so impressive. The only flavours in the aroma that comes across is the coffee, with a tiny bit of the toffee malts. Reasonably well made, but the flavours are mixed a little awkwardly.
Aftertaste: more of the roasted coffee flavours. Unappealing, however I don't like coffee, so I'm a bit biased.
Mouth feel: quite thin - it could have been a good "aussie take on the stout" with more carbonation, but with light body and light carbonation, it is a dreadful compromise, and it doesn't work.
Overall: Interesting, to say the least. Not entirely sure though - it's a bit awkward. The flavours are not combined brilliantly well, but for the price one would expect a bit more sophistication.

Very black, nearly jet black, with a small creamy head. Powerful nose, lifted roast and sweet chocolate malt. Quite overt and somewhat unique. Does remind a little of the Supershine.

More restrained in the mouth but certainly has the chcoclate and roast note. These notes fall away a little and the beer doesn't finish as good as it starts.

A- Deep brown colour with a caramel coloured head. Nothing unexpected here. Looks fairly tepid after a minute.
S- Roasted toffee malts, sweet dark fruits and chocolate. Very appealing.
T- That lovely sweet dark fruit/toffee taste is upfront followed by LOTS of roasted malts and just a hint of dark chocolate. There is a reasonably bitter aftertaste. I like it- fairly robust and palate friendly.
M- Silky, medium and finely carbonated. Not bad here but could be better.
O- It's a pleasant drink- pure and simple. Nothing at all offputting about it and goes down easily. Impressed.

Pours black with brown/ruby highlights and a large lasting head.
Nose shows lots of chocolate, caramel and nutty malt. Nice roasty character.
In the way of flavours it's coffee rather than chocolate. Seems pretty light on, could us some more malt in there to flesh things out a bit.
Too much carbonation, body is lacking.

330 ML poured into a Great Divide globe
A-- Poured and settled a reddish black color. A little bit of red at the bottom of the glass. Just under one finger in a mocha colored head with sponge like lacing on the sides of the glass. Good head retention and shows medium carbonation.
S-- Roasted malts, coffee and some bittering or baking chocolate. Very sweet smelling. First thought was coco puffs. Smells closer to a sweet stout.
T-- Very sweet first taste. Still reminds me more of a sweet stout or possibly a milk stout, though not as smooth. Sweet chocolate, roasted malts also in the taste. Just a bit of coffee in the taste.
M-- Very sweet. Sugary taste lingers in the mouth and in the finish. A little bit of bittering chocolate and coffee to add something different but quite sweet. Coffee does come out more when at room temperature. Lower medium in carbonation. Not heavy at all. More light and sweet. Just needs milk and it would be coco puffs.
D-- Reasonable and workable. A little too sweet. Could use a bit more coffee or turn this into a milk stout and would be very nice. At 4.9 % it is not bad at all and can have 2 of these easily. If you get past the sweetness it is workable.

Pours a dark, dark reddish-brown colour with a thin head of visible bubbles. Disappointing head for a Grand Ridge beer, really. Disappears, leaving an ochre rim, although it is fed by some quite furious bubbling, especially around the edge. Lacing is an awesome curtain of sticky film. Looks pretty good.
Nose is quite delectable, with a rich chocolate aroma combined with brandied cherries, some sweet nuts and a bit of a latte character - like espresso, but lighter and more buoyant. Smell is overall really quite fruity, but with a pleasantly sweet, yet brooding, darkness as well, like the character of Satan in the director's cut of When Harry met Sally.
Taste has a similar sweet character throughout, with a nice chocolatey edge, only it's tempered by an over-roasted grain flavour, slightly burnt and ashy. It comes through on the mid and leaves a lingering grittiness on the scene, with a moderate coffee kind of flavour and a slight smokey astringency.
Mouthfeel is good, feels a little thin at first, but there is enough body to carry it off. Not great though, just a reasonable fullness.
The burnt bitterness at the back is a slight turn-off here because it does leave your mouth dry and ashy, but there's enough to like here. It could benefit from more of the nice fruit esters off the nose and a slightly lower roast factor on the grain. Decent effort.

One of the sweetest stouts I have tasted...seemed more like it was from the dark ale family.
Appearance not as dark & opaque as the average stout I have enjoyed...just see thru with reddish hues. 1 finger head, that quickly died.
Powerful aromas included loads of sweetness, coffee, some roasted malts, hint of chocolate, some port liquer wine aromas...
Taste was again very sweet, very buttery, little dark chocolate & coffee, maybe some dark fruit, also some soy sauce (in smell as well)...little port feel about it too, & a sour tang definately. Not too heavy on bitterness.
Mouthfeel was thin, not too watery just thin, with the right amount of carbonation.
This just didn't feel like a stout...more a darker ale, without too much fruity esters.
Could drink again, but if I wanted a true stout I would definately look elsewhere.
A Lolly Stout!!!

3.73/5 rDev +10.7%
Appearance - Decent amount of off-white head (a bit on the lighter side for stouts) on a medium pour. Not the darkest stout (keeping in mind it's 4.9ABV, I wasn't expecting RIS opacity). Ruby-colored body when up to the light... slightly darker than cola.
Smell - Quite an enticing, sweet smell - pleasant, clean nose of roasted malts and all that go with it - chocolates are heavily present with light whiffs of creamy coffee to go along side. Hints of licorice, and a very faint and not unpleasant hint of sourness.
Taste - Begins quite sweet and chocolatey (yum) with a subtle smokiness that slowly, but not thoroughly, becomes more bitter towards the end. Slightly above average for a stout, but nothing to write home about.
Mouthfeel - Creamy and smooth with just a little bit of chewiness. Expected for the style and ABV. Carbonation ideal for this type of stout.
Drinkability - Damn good Aussie stout. Nothing mind-blowing, but they've certainly acheived what they set out to do I think. Could definitely put down a few of these. This is the second beer I've tried from Grand Ridge and they've earned my respect so far... Good job.

Pours a deep & dark ruby brown color with LOTS of chunky, foamy tan head. I even rinsed the glass and tipped it to pour, and still got a lot of head. The head sticks around for a long time, too. There's head to the last drop of beer. Smells malty and roasty and there's a very vague smell of hoppiness. The taste is also roasty, malty and vaguely hoppy. Thre's plenty of bitterness there, I just can't make out any specific hop flavors. Overall, it's on the bitter side, but that's to be expected from a stout. The mouthfeel is very very fizzy, it's almost like drinking foam. Can't say I like that much. All in all, it's a pretty damn good stout. Not something I could drink all the time though, due to the excessive carbonation.

A - Poured into a pint glass a dark brown, almost black, but not quite. Few centimetres of beige head sits atop for a fair while.
S - Roasted malt and sweet chocolate. Some very slight fruity esters.
T - Along the same lines as the smell but much more chocolate flavour tends to dominate.
M - A bit waterery given some pretty good malt tastes were going on. I prefer my stouts nice and thick.
D - Pretty good stout that is available year round unlike a lot of other aussie micro stouts. This is always good because stouts are good at any time of the year in my opinion.

If I had tasted this prior to the Sinha Stout (aka Lion Stout) I had last night, I might have been more impressed.
The body is a deep black, with edges appearing dark brown against light. The head is a foamy off-white, which leaves little lacing.
The aroma was an almost a generic boutique-stout roasted coffee, but heavy malt undertones and some sweetness set it apart.
The taste was one-track, but generally fine. The roasted coffee came through strong, with a bitter sweet finish.
The mouthfeel was perhaps a little watery, yet smooth and appropriately carbonated.
Not one I'd buy again, but am happy to have tried it.

Dark brown hue with slight mahogany tints when held to the light. Little head, which settles to a cream ring. The smell is fantastic. Not that typical of a stout, with very strong porty and fruitcakey aromas, like a rare tokay or muscat, with chocolate of the roasted malt only faintly in the background, but very aromatic, and pure pleasure just to sit and smell. This is less evident on tasting, but still very rich and satisfying. Mouthfeel is smooth, good body and subtle fine carbonation. Absolutely delicious, although not particularly typical of a stout.

Opaque very dark brown to black, with a somewhat bubbly head. No creaminess. Good lacing, but doesn't look like a true stout, to mind.
Nose is quite peppery, with a backgrounding sweetness which ends up making it smell like a bit of Asian cuisine. Quite smoky aromas penetrate as it warms a little, wood and ash. Quite interesting.
Strong sour roasted flavour on the palate, continuing the smoked theme. Long roasted bitter aftertaste. Interesting flavours. Mouthfeel leaves something to be desired. No creaminess. I think a creamier, more viscous body would suit it better. Not a great stout, but reasonably enjoyable.
It's quite a drinkable brew.

Grand Ridge Hat Lifter Stout.
Was a little dissapointed with this one. Had heard so much good things about the Grand Ridge range.
A = Dark. Black as black could be. With a thin foam head that dissapated quickly.
S = Smelt of roasted malts and ground coffee.
T = This is where it let me down. Was very bland. There was a definite roasted malt flavour but it seemed a little watered down some how. Very Dissapointing.
M = Was a little watery. Also dissapointing.
D = Better stouts out there to drink. Real unfortunate.

330mL brown bottle, with the brewery's motto "100% premium - 100% pure beer" emblazoned across the label. No best before date.
Appearance: Black liquid, more brown than red, with an adequate head and good lacing. Could use a bit more head, and head colour is too pale.
Smell: Nice oaty smell, but I don't think there's any oat in there. Solvent alcohol covering a pleasant floral hop aroma. Quite a strong alcohol smell considering it's only 4.9%.
Taste: Not too overpowering like some stouts can be - very refreshing, though it's a hot summer's afternoon here in my bedroom. Creamy and very easy drinking, a little bit foamy in the mouth, with satisfying earth and natural grain flavours. I like this more than I thought I would.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, creamy, effervescent and strangely foamy. There is enough to chew on to make it interesting, even though it's easy drinking.
Drinkability: Better than many stouts I've had, especially lately. Absolutely no adjunct tastes (which are to be expected!) make this really fun to drink, and if only I had a few more or knew where my girlfriend's mum bought this for me, I'd be very content to enjoy Christmas eve sinking a few hatlifters. See you at the brewery.

Quite an interesting stout.
Pretty different from most stouts im used to. This is more of an easy drinking stout rather than a heavy kick in the face session beer. The hops in this brew are very low and as a result the aftertaste is very sweet and doesnt linger too much.
The taste thats there however starts quite sweet with your usual burnt malts and chocolate. The mouthfeel is a bit carbonated but still nice and chewy.
Overall a family satisfying twist on your standard stout. I will look forward to trying the rest of the Grand Ridge range.

this cd was the first big release from laaz rockit their first video actully 2 videos and I think the first headling tour and another invatation to dynamo and they started to get critics respect and a larger fan base world wide.this release was a total transformation fro their earlier days powermetal with a bit of glam to bay area thrash masters with a something proved they can stand on their own other places other than in california,parts of europe and japan.they used to get guest spots with many bigger bands,support spots due to friends and band/management connections and luck breaks but now they got a good company at the time to puch them and after years of hard work they got some respect and this cd has all great song even the slow one are fabulous.heavy thrash and talent to boot.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
To me this is the best I've heard from these guys and with the CD costing alot, I settled for the tape. What great service from Alectrics Inc, I would recommend these guys to everyone…Their product came right away and in perfect condition…Even better than described…
–Thank — You…Alectrics Inc — You Rock…
…Another completely satisfied customer…
this ablum was great in 89 but in it's improved remastering with new technology this sound alot better yet.the live dvd is great but it lacks the much annihilation priciple only one song but this covers alot of their older matterial and know your enemy has a few songs in the set I wish they didn't wait 20 years to release this video/dvd set
This album has some of the best thrash metal you'll ever hear. The power's there, the speed is there, and the songs are even catchy to boot. My personal favorites include Shadow Company, a cover of the Dead Kennedys' Holiday in Cambodia, Chain of Fools, and the closer The Omen. This is a MUST for any thrash metal fan, but I'd suggest finding it on LP for about $10 rather than shelling whatever insane price is currently getting asked.
Laaz Rockit rules,this is more of a thrash album rather then speed metal like Know Your Enemy.This album rules,they do Holiday In Cambodia which is a cover song and it just rules by Laaz Rockit.Fire In The Hole starts the album off and the song is awesome and then to end the album is The Omen which is such a perfect ballad song,it's kind of haunting.I suggest you find Annihilation Principle somewhere else where it's cheaper,if not it's worth paying that much for it.This album is different from City's Gonna Burn and Know Your Enemy,it's heavier and the singing is different.Please reissue all of Laaz Rockit's albums.
Song names in order.
1.Fire In The Hole
2.Mob Justice
3.Chain Of Fools
4.Shadow Company
5.Holiday In Cambodia
6.Bad Blood
7.Chasin' Charlie
8.Mirror To Madness
9.The Omen

Steven G. Caron of Andover was recognized for his leadership during the annual meeting of the Order of Malta's American Association on Nov. 15 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York.
Caron received a President's Achievement Award from Jack E. Pohrer, president of the association.
The Order of Malta's National Work in the U.S. is Prison Ministry. In 2009, Caron founded a quarterly publication called The Serving Brother, which offers Catholic spirituality to prisoners. Originally designed to serve those imprisoned in the metropolitan area of Cardinal Sean O'Malley, within months, the publication became widely distributed throughout the northeastern U.S.
A Canadian edition has since been created and distribution has advanced throughout the southeastern and western U.S. In addition, copies are distributed in Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands and to English-speaking prisoners in Latin America. Currently, more than 30,000 copies are shipped to an estimated 600-plus correctional institutions.
Caron now serves as the imprint's publisher and chairman of its editorial board.
In 2007, Caron was invested as a Knight of Malta in St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. He and his wife, Evelyn L. Caron, have four children. They are members of St. Augustine Church in Andover.
A CPA, Caron is a graduate of North Andover High School and received his accounting degree from UMass Amherst and his Master of Business Administration in finance from Boston College. He is the managing director of Old School Capital, an investment advisory firm based in Andover.

Man facing sexting chargeMay 10,2013ST. JOHNSBURY Police say an 18-year-old Swiss boarding student at Vermonts St. Johnsbury academy is facing a child pornography charge after investigators found nude images of a 14-year-old girl on his cellphone that she had sent to him.
Eytan Baer pleaded not guilty on Monday to a misdemeanor charge of possession of child pornography.
The Caledonian-Record reported police began their investigation after the female students mother became suspicious of her daughters Internet activities. The mother told police and school officials that she was concerned her daughter had been sending nude pictures to other students.
Both Baer and the girl are still students at the academy, but they have been ordered not to have any purposeful contact at school or any contact outside school.MORE IN Vermont NewsJames Jeffords called it his first vivid memory.

HOOPESTON — A body was discovered this afternoon along rural property in northern Vermilion County.
Vermilion County Sheriff Pat Hartshorn confirmed the body of a white female was found after noon today.
The body was found by a man walking out to check his deer stand, the sheriff said.
The location where the discovery was made is about three-quarters of a mile off of Illinois Route 9.
Hartshorn described the property as wooded farmland along a creek just east of Hoopeston.
No positive identification has been made on the body, Hartshorn said. Sheriff's investigators and the coroner's office were called to the scene.
Vermilion County Coroner Peggy Johnson, in a release, indicated that a positive identification of the body will be confirmed during an autopsy scheduled for Monday morning.
The discovery comes almost a month after 33-year-old Amanda Walters-Pentecost was reported missing in Hoopeston.
She was reported missing on Feb. 1 in Hoopeston. Since that time, local police conducted searches of the area trying to find her.
From the beginning, police said there were no indications that Walters-Pentecost — a mother of two children — was the victim of a crime.
According to police, Walters-Pentecost's purse was found at one point since she was reported missing. Her cellular phone has not been found.
The woman is described as standing 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 140 pounds. She has brown hair, green eyes and several tattoos.

Hospital Execs Forecast Higher IT Spending
Admissions will shift significantly from the inpatient to the outpatient setting in 2013 as providers transition to new care delivery models, says a Premier healthcare alliance survey. It also indicates that hospitals will make their biggest capital investments this year in information technology.
In its spring 2013 Economic Outlook, Premier reports that 65% of the 530 survey respondents—mainly hospital C-suite executives and materials and practice area managers—are projecting a decrease in inpatient volume in 2013 compared to 2012.
Accordingly, 69 percent of respondents are projecting an increase in 2013 outpatient volume compared to 2012.
"As these survey results suggest, more care is being shifted to outpatient care sites that are less intensive and expensive, but with lower reimbursement rates," says Premier COO Mike Alkire. "In other words, health systems are adjusting to reimbursement cuts and lower inpatient volumes, while they have a foot in both camps managing the financial transition away from fee-for-service to accountable, pay-for-performance models."

Makeup Brush Shape-Up
March 28, 2011 at 7:30 am , by Chelsea Rae Simmons
I have a dirty secret, and it's about my makeup brushes. Actually, it is my makeup brushes. Like many women, I don't take the best care of them, but I've vowed to change. Here are 3 tips to whip your makeup brushes in shape:
Avoid damaging build-up. With each use, your brushes accumulate makeup particles— wipe them off with tissue or soft clothe after application. Make sure not to pull the bristles too roughly, lest they fall out. Did you know: Makeup build-up can clog pores and damage the bristles making your brush less effective.
Store brushes properly. The way you store makeup brushes is important. Always keep them in a dry case and lay them flat or standing upright to avoid misshapen bristle syndrome. Did you know: Dust is another factor in brush build-up. If you don't have a proper case, use an old eyeglass case to store your brushes.
Clean. Clean. Clean. Most importantly, clean your brushes at least once per month. To wash them, use a gentle shampoo of face soap, rinse until the water runs clear, squeeze out excess water, and dry them flat on a clean towel. Did you know: Many brands have cleaning solution that you can use for a quick clean, and Sephora has a special Antibacterial Brush Set, $60, to ensure cleaner brushes between washes.
Maintaining your makeup brushes is as easy as 1-2-3. Find out other ways to "Kick Your Worst beauty Habits" in the March 2011 issue of Ladies' Home Journal.

News: 50 Cent Addresses New Curly Hair Look, "I Just Make More Money Off It"
Thursday, Jun 16, 2011 9:48AM
G-Unit leader 50 Cent has finally spoken up and addressed his new look after photos of him sporting a gel-laced curly hair style landed online yesterday (June 15).
Showing off his confidence, 50 downplayed the media and blogosphere hype.
"Hahaha you fools talking about my hair for my last movie. Ok I just make more money off it lol I'm WINNING.http://lockerz.com/s/111070496," he tweeted late Wednesday (June 15). (50 Cent's Twitter)
Photos of 50's new look began circulating online Wednesday afternoon.
50 arrived to the red carpet with a tan and a new gelled Jheri curl, S-curl mix hairdo. Not sure if it was the glistening sun, but it looks like there may have been a few light brown highlights in there too. 50 has never had a problem changing his appearance for a movie, he was seen previously rocking a Jheri curl on the set of his movie "Freelancers" starring Forest Whitaker and Robert De Niro. We are hoping that this new look is the result of a new movie because if not, you got a lot of explaining to do Fif. (Global Grind)
50 was reportedly attending the Aruba Film Festival to promote a new film.
Maybe it was the tropical breeze, but 50 Cent was not looking like himself during his trip to Aruba to premiere his Mario Van Peebles-directed drama Things Fall Apart at the Aruba Film Festival. The hip-hop mogul appeared a few pounds lighters and sported a longer gelled hairstyle. He had previously shed 54 pounds to play a cancer-stricken football player in the film. (Rap-Up)
Outside of his looks, 50 recently signed Southern rapper Shawty Lo to G-Unit Records.
"This is like something before the album, my new situation with G-Unit was just solidified and I got off the phone with 50 yesterday, I just signed a really large deal," Shawty Lo said revealing plans to drop a new mixtape called B.H.F. "It's like a new beginning and all I needed was someone behind me. 50 [Cent] is a marketing genius and I got my new thing D4L and G-Unit and we going to be working the South and the rest of the world if need be."

Spitfires boss Baird rues missed chances after Dorch defeat
11:54am Wednesday 5th September 2012 in Sport By Wendy Gee, Non-league football reporter
Eastleigh endured stoppage-time heartbreak at Dorchester Town last night as they went down 1-0 in the Blue Square Bet South.
With the game seemingly destined for a goalless draw, substitute Adam Everett was penalised for a foul on Ben Watson 25 yards out.
And it was super sub Jamie Reid who punished Eastleigh in the 94th minute, curling a free kick over the wall and past keeper Jack Dovey.
It made galling viewing for manager Ian Baird who, once again, felt his pre-season title favourites had failed to make the most of their chances.
Skipper and set-piece maestro Daryl McMahon hit the bar with a free kick on the stroke of half- time – the third time the Spitfires have been frustrated by the woodwork in the last two matches.
But more concerning for Baird was his side's wasteful finishing with Craig McAllister, Dale Binns and Marvin Williams all passing up decent chances.
"We've missed five good chances again tonight and I'm not just talking speculative efforts. They're all chances that should have been put away," said the Spitfires boss.
"You know when that happens that it will come back to bite you on the backside.
"Dorchester only had two efforts – one was comfortably saved by Jack Dovey and the other one ended up in the back of the net."
With last night's defeat following Saturday's 3-1 disappointment at home to Dover Athletic, Eastleigh – the pre-season title favourites – have slipped to 13th place. Dorchester, in contrast, are second.
"The amount of chances we've missed this season has cost us," sighed Baird.
"I'd have been disappointed to come away drawing 0- 0 tonight, so to lose 1-0 is a real kick in the proverbials."

Benson Weir and Lock
The World > Europe > UK > England
Benson Lock is on the River Thames close to Benson, Oxfordshire. Built in 1870. The distance between Benson Lock and Cleeve Lock downstream is 6.5 miles (10.4 km) - the longest distance between locks on the non-tidal River Thames. The lock's maximum rise and fall is 6'2". The weir runs from the lock island level with the lock across to the Benson side. There is a footbridge over the weir which replaced the ferry which operated here previously.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

As several Western Conference teams have grown weaker at the NBA Trade Deadline, the Portland Trail Blazers have decided to make a move. The Blazers are reportedly closing in on a deal to acquire forward Gerald Wallace from the Charlotte Bobcats, according to Portland-area reporter Dwight Jaynes.
It is not yet clear which players the Blazers will receive in return, but Jaynes reports that the Blazers will likely send back Joel Przybilla, draft picks and cash, though other pieces will have to be involved to make the trade legal. That other player will not be incumbent small forward Nicolas Batum, according to Jaynes.
The 28-year old Wallace has two years and $21 million remaining on his contract, but was an all-star last season and is averaging nearly 16 points and over eight rebounds a game this season.
The Blazers would seem to be an odd fit for Wallace, given that he plays the same position as Batum, but the hope would likely be that Wallace can play some power forward in smaller lineups. Wallace could also improve their perimeter defense and provide a slasher that gets into the paint for easy baskets. However, his shot attempts at the rim have fallen dramatically this season.
Przybilla has an expiring contract that would give Charlotte more payroll flexibility, but another piece likely has to be thrown in to make the salaries match.

Tapizar, who stamped himself as a leading Triple Crown contender by virtue of his impressive 4 ¼-length victory in Saturday's Grade III Sham Stakes, was in good shape Sunday morning, but there was no word on the colt's next race.
"He's good this morning," said two-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Steve Asmussen. "We'll take him back to the track, talk to the owners and try to decide what to do next."
Asmussen said after the Sham triumph that he intended to keep Tapizar at Santa Anita and go through the 3-year-old series that includes the Grade I, $1 million Santa Anita Derby on April 9, a path that hopefully will lead to the Kentucky Derby on May 7.
The Sham was Tapizar's first race on Santa Anita's new traditional dirt main track. The bay son of Tapit owned and bred by Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC broke his maiden by 10 ½ lengths at Churchill Downs Nov. 27 prior to the Sham. Tapizar is out of the Deputy Minister mare Winning Call.
Barry Abrams enters so many horses, the racing office should give him an 800 number. Never shy at the entry box, the 56-year-old trainer has always marched to his own drummer, often running horses with the frequency of a standardbred trainer, which he once was.
Thus it comes as no surprise that Abrams has entered Unusual Suspect in Monday's Martin Luther King Jr. holiday feature, the Grade II, $150,000 San Marcos Stakes for older horses at 1 ¼ miles on turf.
It will mark the 56th career start for Unusual Suspect, nearly twice as many as any of the other 19 horses nominated to the race. With a 9-8-6 record, he has earned $1,035,171 for Barry's brother David, Barry's wife, Dyan, and Barry, who form the ownership group. Unusual Suspect has won at distances from six furlongs to a mile and a half and won on grass and synthetic.
"He's just getting good right now," Abrams said of the 7-year-old Unusual Heat horse, who captured his first Grade I victory in his last start, the 1 ½-mile Hollywood Turf Cup on Nov. 13. "A mile and a quarter might be too short for him, but we'll give it a try and go from there," Abrams said. "There are a lot of big races all over the world at a mile and a half, a mile and three-quarters, and that's what I'm shooting for."
But first things first, and that would be the San Marcos, which is the 20th straight stakes race for Unusual Suspect. Only 12 of his races have not been added-money events, including his first two, which were for maidens. He has been ridden by 17 different jockeys, including Corey Nakatani, who was aboard for the 10-1 upset in the Turf Cup, and who sticks with him in the San Marcos.
The field for the San Marcos: Philatelist, Patrick Valenzuela, 30-1; Imponente Purse, Chantal Sutherland, 30-1; Unusual Suspect, Corey Nakatani, 10-1; Riviera Cocktail, Alonso Quinonez, 20-1; Marlang, David Flores, 10-1; Bourbon Bay, Rafael Bejarano, 3-1; Where's the Remote, Joe Talamo, 8-1; Buenos Dias, Brice Blanc, 12-1; Expansion, Victor Espinoza, 12-1; Sebastian Flyte, Garrett Gomez, 4-1; and Champ Pegasus, Joel Rosario, 5-2.
Each horse is assigned 118 pounds, except Unusual Suspect and Champ Pegasus, who have 123 each, and Bourbon Bay, 120. First post time Monday is 12:30 p.m.
Twirling Candy, who set a track record of 1:19.70 for seven furlongs in winning the Grade I Malibu Stakes by a nose on opening day, worked five furlongs on Santa Anita's main track Sunday in 1:00.60, breezing, for trainer John Sadler.
An emphatic winner of two turf stakes this past summer; the one mile Oceanside and the Grade II Del Mar Derby at 1 1/8 miles, Twirling Candy is a candidate for the Grade II Strub Stakes, to be contested at 1 1/8 miles on dirt on Feb. 5.
Twirling Candy worked in company Sunday with stable mate Hammurabi, who was given the same five furlong time.
"The horse is healthy as can be," said Sadler assistant Larry Benavidez, addressing backstretch murmurings that Twirling Candy was perhaps not himself. "He ran in 1:19 on opening day. I'm looking at him now from the tack room. His head is poking out of his stall and he's eating up a storm."
Eric Guillot expects significant improvement from Champagne d'Oro when she runs in today's El Encino Stakes.
The daughter of Medaglia d'Oro had a wide trip finishing sixth by nearly eight lengths in the La Brea Stakes at seven furlongs Dec. 26, but Guillot is inclined to draw a line through the race.
"The track was really too fast that day," the colorful Louisiana native recalled, "and she's not really a seven-eighths horse. He (rider Michael Baze) had to gun her the whole time to try to keep up (to front-running winner Switch, who covered the distance in 1:20.33) . . . It took her forever to get her footing, and then once she did, how are you supposed to go wide and close on them kind of fractions?
"It's virtually impossible."
Mr Artistic M D is one of three unbeaten 3-year-olds scheduled to start in Monday's $75,000 San Pedro Stakes at 6 ½ furlongs, but Kathy Walsh, who trains the gelded son of Mr. Greeley, feels it won't be easy to keep her stretch-running bay's streak going.
"I hope there's enough speed in the race to help us," Walsh said. "The trouble is, he's kind of got a bias against him on this track, because it's been speed-favoring lately. But who knows? We'll try 'em. That's all we can do."
Mr Artistic M D rallied to win his first two starts, both at Hollywood Park, under Joel Rosario, who rides in the San Pedro. Mr Artistic M D was favored each time.
"My horse hasn't surprised me," Walsh said. "He's always been a nice horse."
The field for the San Pedro: Industry Leader, Victor Espinoza, 115, 6-1; Classic Legacy, Garrett Gomez, 117, 8-1; Sinai, Rafael Bejarano, 115, 5-2; Indian Winter, Martin Pedroza, 115, 8-1; City Cool, Joe Talamo, 119, 3-1; Mr Artistic M D, Joel Rosario, 117, 5-1; and Arcadian, Patrick Valenzuela, 115, 4-1.
Caracortado worked seven furlongs on Santa Anita's firm turf course Saturday in a bullet 1:28.60 under Joe Talamo for the $300,000 Sunshine Millions Turf at 1 1/8 miles Jan. 29.
"The work was really good," trainer Mike Machowsky said. "I worked him in company with Kelly Leak (who was clocked in 1:29)." Kelly Leak is nominated for Saturday's Grade II, $150,000 Palos Verdes Stakes at six furlongs on dirt, but Machowsky is not likely to run there.
"I'm going to try an allowance race for him, probably down the hill," he said. Santa Anita Racing Secretary Rick Hammerle reminds horsemen that pre-entries for the Sunshine Millions will be taken this Wednesday, Jan. 19.
Six races worth $1.8 million in purse money will be run on Saturday, Jan. 29, three at Santa Anita and three at its sister track Gulfstream Park. The event showcases horses from two of the nation's best Thoroughbred breeding states—California and Florida—in head-to-head competition.
Santa Anita features the $200,000 Sprint at six furlongs; the $300,000 Distaff at 1 11/6 miles; and the $300,000 Turf at 1 1/8 miles.
Gulfstream presents the $200,000 Filly & Mare Sprint at six furlongs; the $300,000 Filly & Mare Turf at 1 1/8 miles; and the $500,000 Classic at 1 1/8 miles.
FINISH LINES: Steve Asmussen said that Captain Cherokee "breezed good this morning (four furlongs in :49.20) and we'll see how he comes out of it and talk with the Jacksons (owners of Stonestreet Stables)," before deciding on Saturday's Grade II, $150,000 Palos Verdes Stakes. Probables for the six furlong race for older horses include Gato Go Win (Patrick Valenzuela) and Ventana (Rafael Bejarano) . . . La Brea winner Switch, prepping for the Grade I, $250,000 Santa Monica Stakes at seven furlongs Jan. 30, worked five furlongs under Joel Rosario on Santa Anita's dirt track Sunday in :58.80 for John Sadler . . . Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Dakota Phone worked four furlongs in :49.80. "It was a nice, easy half, just a maintenance work," said Jerry Hollendorfer, who added he had "no plans at this moment" for the gelded son of Zavata . . . Setsuko, seventh in the Grade I Malibu Stakes on opening day, is entered in Monday's second race, a $56,000 allowance test against four rivals at 1 1/8 miles. "I hope it's a confidence builder," trainer Richard Mandella said. Setsuko was second in last year's Grade I Santa Anita Derby but has only a maiden win in 10 career starts . . . Brice Blanc celebrates his 38th birthday today. "We're going about our work and trying to ride live horses," said Blanc's agent, Mike Ciani. "It is a tough circuit, but we're taking a positive outlook and trying to build up our percentage. We're looking to have a good meet."…One winning ticket in Saturday's Pick Six paid $118,223. The singleton was purchased through the TVG network hub . . . The California Horse Racing Board will conduct its regular monthly meeting this Thursday, Jan. 20, in the Baldwin Terrace Room at Santa Anita beginning at 9:30 a.m. The public is encouraged to attend.

The Upshur County Commission has approved a rate hike for its enhanced 911 ordinance.
Upshur County has charged a 911 fee of $2.65 since 2005.
The increase would raise the monthly landline fees to $4.50 for residents and $6.50 for businesses.
The commission said the increase was needed because revenues are declining, and expenses are going up.
"One way for the county commission to cover the increase in expenditures we would have to have increased revenues from somewhere, whether its 911 fee increase or general tax revenue increase the money has to come from somewhere if we offer the services which we're mandated to do in this case," said Willie Parker, county administrator.
The fee increase will go into effect on July 1.

Freedom is Precious
We sometimes forget how lucky we are to live in a democracy and I think If Some people think we
we often take our freedoms for granted. Unfortunately, not all
countries run like ours, and not all people have the freedom to say
what they think, wear what they want, choose their religion. I don't
tend to get into politics that much and I'm a total workaholic, so I'm
always busy, but I try to keep up on the news (Twitter helps!) and I
even received an e-mail from an Iranian-American fan who wanted to
spread awareness of what's going on in Iran. As an Armenian-American, I
definitely feel this is something that should be addressed.
you've seen any of the shocking videos online of the police violence
against the protesters (I've seen pics but I can't bring myself to
watch the videos) you've seen how the Iranian people are protesting for
what they believe in, fighting for their freedoms and being brutally
punished and attacked for it by police. This kind of violence against
innocent civilians is sickening. President Obama said he was appalled
by what was going on and honestly, how can you not be?! Shima, my fan
who e-mailed me, said that the Iranian government is bringing in
officers from outside of Iran to silence the protesters because Iran's
own guards are refusing to hurt their own people. I admire these
Iranian guards for standing up for themselves, and I admire the Iranian
people for fighting for their freedoms.
shouldn't meddle with other country's politics, but I don't think it's
about enforcing our own beliefs on them, it's about helping people
fight for what they want for their own country. In our country protests
and demonstrations happen everyday, peacefully. We are ssooo lucky to
have the right to speak up for ourselves and for what we believe in. I
just hope the people or Iran will some day soon have the right to do
the same.
We sometimes forget how lucky we are to live in a democracy and I think
Some people think we

My research focusses around two main areas: Shakespeare in production and Australian drama and theatre. I am particularly interested in the different meanings Shakespeare's plays acquire in different cultural locations – different times, different countries, different social structures. I have written a performance history of The Taming of the Shrew (Cambridge University Press, 2002) and Twelfth Night (Cambridge University Press, 2009). I have also written on women directors and their contributions to Shakespeare theatre history, MsDirecting Shakespeare (Women's Press, 1998). My Lilian Baylis: A Biography (University of Hertfordshire Press, 2006) offers a completely new different view of this extremely influential woman, who has a claim to be seen as a founder of the National Theatre, the English National Opera, Sadler's Wells and the Royal Ballet.
I edited The City Wit by Richard Brome for the pioneering online edition of Brome's complete works: http://www.shef.ac.uk/hri/projects/projectpages/rbrome.html.
Currently I am writing a performance history of The Merry Wives of Windsor for the Manchester University Press Shakespeare in Performance series. I am also running 'The Mariam Project' which is marking the 400th anniversary of the publication of Elizabeth Cary's pioneering play The Tragedy of Mariam with a series of performances and workshops.
I have supervised research degrees mainly in the area of Shakespeare in production but also in the area of intercultural theatre; the performance of illness; Australian drama and theatre.
I am editor of Australian Studies an online journal hosted by the National Library of Australia.

When the National Hockey League returned after a lockout cancelled the entire 2004-05 season, it seemed like its representatives learned a valuable lesson. This year, it seems as if everyone associated with the league has developed amnesia. The NHL began ... Continue Reading →
