Jalil A. Muntaqim: My statement on the SF 8 plea agreement July 6, 2009
I especially want to thank the lawyers who did the majority of the behind-the-scenes legwork by name: Soffiyah Elijah, Jenny Kang, Julie de Almeida, Heather Hardwick, Rai Sue Sussman and Lori Flowers. This team of women suffering the testosterone of as many as 10 male lead attorneys, plus the eight men accused, truly had their feminist code tested. Naturally, I want to thank the most noted private investigators, Adam Raskin and Nancy Pemberton, whose investigative technique and services were outstanding.
Today we were to start the preliminary hearing but because of our strong legal defense team and growing public support, the California prosecutor offered plea settlements that could not be ignored. The entire group discussed whether I would plead no contest to conspiracy to manslaughter. After some discussion, I reluctantly agreed to take the plea and be sentenced to three years probation; one year of jail time, credit for time served, concurrent with New York state sentence, dismissing first degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
In the last 25 years prior to these charges being lodged, the brothers had been living peaceful and productive lives raising their families and offering community services. During the period from their release on bail to this date, they had been running themselves ragged across the country telling the story of Cointelpro destruction of the Black Panther Party, the "Legacy of Torture" and building support for the case.
Finally, I would like to thank with profound appreciation my attorneys Daro Inouye, a 30-plus year veteran of the San Francisco Public Defender's Office, whose trial experiences and skills are incomparable; and Mark Goldrosen, a remarkable, selfless trial technician and writer whose understanding of both state and federal law brought the court (and some of the attorneys) to task.
A luta continua -
Jalil Muntaqim (Anthony Bottom), 55, of San Francisco, has been a political prisoner in New York since 1978. Send our brother, who for the moment remains in county jail in San Francisco, some love and thank him for his sacrifice: Jalil Muntaqim (Anthony Bottom), 2311826, 850 Bryant St., San Francisco CA 94103.

Dropcam unveils new people detection software and Tabs motion sensor hardware.
The first fruits of Barnes & Noble's partnership with Samsung is a version of the Galaxy Tab 4 7-inch Android tablet, loaded with the bookseller's reading-friendly interface and oodles of free content.
A massive 20- or 24-inch tablet that feels more like an all-in-one, and it runs Android 4.4. What is this crazy thing? It's the Nabi Big Tab...for kids.
The Logitech Bluetooth keyboard case for the Tab S 10.5 is a compact way to add an extra level of protection to your slate, but the build quality of the keyboard is too cheap to justify its $100/£90 starting price.
With its slim design, fantastic screen, and oodles of power, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is a superb smaller tablet, and a worthy competitor to the ever-popular iPad Mini.
An exceptional screen and a long list of software goodies make the Galaxy Tab S Samsung's best tablet to date and our top Android choice for an entertainment slate.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.
The new Iconia 8-inch tablet runs Android KitKat via a quad-core Intel Atom processor, with a Full HD IPS screen on the front.

2.63/5 rDev -28.1%
"Julenatt" means "Christmas Night".
So what do we have here? A vanilla porter? Right.
The colour is very deep brown-black, the liquid is clear and the pale brown foam forms a firm uneven finger thick head with minimal lacing. A large blob of yeast covers the bottom of the bottle.
The smell is Different. Sweet notes of jellybeans, perfume, vanilla, oak wood, minerals and some roasted malt and a mild bitterness. The 3.0 does not mean average, more like I really dont know if it is good or bad.
The taste is not as heavy as I had expected. An artificial candy-like flavour bubbles in the background white a fresh bitter roasted note develops into a milder, sweeter malt (with some chocolate) taste that changes into a very dry stout-like bitterness. The aftertaste got a slight metallic note, but it is mostly a dry, rather anonymous bittersweet quite long lasting flavour that finishes this beer.
The carbonation is gentle with small bubbles.
Not much of vanilla then, more like a candy porter. And I am not really convinced.

Thanks to Bosse for this one.
.5l bottle into a tulip glass...The beer pours a dark brown with a light tan head, gone pretty quickly, not much lacing at at all...The aroma is super strong its sweet and very alcoholic, there is a ton going on, hard to put my finger on everything a boozy rum and coke, brown sugar, vanilla, christmas smells, lots of coca cola. Way too much going on, its super super weird, almost afraid to drink it, but here we go...The taste is super light, not a good sign for me., super light taste as well. Light herbal notes, close to a Great lakes christmas ale but made with a porter. Not a huge fan of this at all.

Aroma is similar to the regular porter except maybe a bit more smokey. Same levels of roasted malt..mild chocolate, but no hint of the promised vanilla. Body is dark brown to black with a quickly diminishing mocha head. Bitter burnt malts in the fore some faint smokiness and someting that could be vanilla, but could aslo be almond extract. There is a bitter herbal spiciness that runs through the middle into the finish that makes me think the vanilla used might have been an extract. Still it has a nice feel to it (a touch thicker than the regular really) and the base porter is very much like the non-vanilla one I just sampled before.

Received from Madsberg/Papsoe last fall, I have no indication that this is retired, rather it was easy for them to find. This porter is very roasted, with sediment towards the last sixth of the 500 ml. Of course it is black. Some coffee and roasted chocolate malt. Medium mouthfeel plus. There was vanilla, it was interesting and one has to be in the mood for interesting to fully appreciate.

(Bottle conditioned, 500 ml). The good people of Nøgne Ø have brewed as many as 4 different Yule/Christmas beers for the Yuletide of 2004. "God Jul" and "Julesnadder" are continued from last year with revised recipes, new ones are "Underlig Jul" and this one, their vanilla porter "Julenatt" (= Yule/Christmas Night). Black colour, thick tan head. Aroma of vanilla, roasted malts, hot chocolate and dark fruits. Flavour is rather sweet, dominant vanilla, roasted malts, coffee and plenty of chocolate. A roast and hop bitterness make the aftertaste tolerable. Nice for a change of pace, a decent "dessert beer" for those with a sweet tooth. But like I said in my rating of another vanilla beer: "theres probably a reason most beers DONT smell and taste strongly of vanilla". Im not a big vanilla fan, but for those who dont mind, this is probably as good as it gets.

Pours opaque with a minimal tan head in my snifter. Malty and molasses nose. Flavor is thick. Just malts on top of malts. Feel is smooth on carbonation and good on the liquid too. Just a damn tasty RIS, which I am assuming it is without looking at the profile for it. Oops. Guessed wrong. It's a porter! And a hearty one at that.

Revied from notes taken on 8/25/05 that I'm finally getting around to putting in BA.com. Thanks Alekeep and Biergirl, and your Norwegian friends, for sharing these wonderful beers during our Norwegian Beer dinner.
Far and away my favorite beer of the evening and from Nøgne Ø.
Appearance: Dark, thick brown with a big, beige head. Very dark and thick looking.
Smell: Smoky, roasted malts. Char, burnt sugar, caramel, toffee, coffee, roasted meat. Just pure, porter goodness.
Taste: Heavily roasted malt, char and smoke, semi-sweet chocolate, and dark chocolate. Little astringent, nearly crossing over into smoked porter, just on the fringes of porter with a good smokey, chared malt backbone. Must have again with game, steak, or ribs.
Mouthfeel: Chewy, smooth, creamy.
Drinkability: Easily my favorite beer of the night. I would love to have another. In fact when is Alekeep and Biergirl's next trip to Norway?

Barry Hill led Parrish in scoring with 19 points, five rebounds and one blocked shot, while Jermichael Harris contributed with 15 points and seven steals. Seventh-grader Isaac Chatman scored 11 points with four rebounds for the Tornadoes.
Cordova's Jamaal Cooper, one of three team members honored at the Blue Devils' Senior Night, scored 13 points and had three steals to lead the team.
Parrish rotated virtually every member of its team throughout the contest — providing ample time for each player to work different offensive and defensive sets, as well giving the squad additional time to rest, according to Tornadoes coach Heath Burns.
"The past two weeks have been a real test of endurance for us, as our schedule as consisted of nine games in the past 14 days," Burns said.
"Tonight was a chance for us to work with different combinations of players who are not often on the court together in game situation and get our guys some rest at the same time. We've experienced road blocks this year in the way of foul trouble, so it's vital that we have our kids prepared for missing certain members of our team when those challenges arise."
Parrish posted a 17-8 lead in the first period, then outscored Cordova 26-11 in the second period for the 43-19 halftime advantage.
The Tornadoes remained in command in the third period, holding a 17-11 scoring edge for the 60-30 lead.
Parrish's defense held tight in the fourth period, limiting Cordova to three points for the 70-33 final.
Parrish (24-1) will host the Area 13 tournament next week, facing the winner of the Brilliant-Lynn matchup on Feb. 8 at 6:30 p.m. for Parrish's Senior Night. Cordova opens the Class 3A, Area 14 tournament against the Hamilton Aggies on Feb. 8 at 6:30 p.m. at Hamilton.
Cordova 51, Parrish 28
Cordova senior Kelsey Stracner scored 17 points and added five rebounds in her final home game as the Cordova Blue Devils knocked off Parrish 51-28 on Senior Night on Friday.
The Blue Devils (16-14) held Parrish to just nine points over the second and third quarters en route to the easy victory.
Cordova led 16-10 after the opening quarter and 29-16 at the half. The Blue Devils pushed their lead to 43-19 after three quarters.
Jessica Willingham added 12 points and eight rebounds for Cordova.
Cordova plays Hamilton at Winfield in the Class 3A, Area 14 Tournament at 7 p.m. Thursday.
Oakman 57, Berry 39
The trio of Quinton Harris, Jace Trotter and Eli Farley combined for 40 points to lead Oakman to a 57-39 victory at Berry Friday night.
Oakman (13-10) grabbed the early lead and never looked back.
The Wildcats led 16-7 after the opening quarter and 26-18 at the half. Berry cut the gap to 37-30 after three quarters, but Oakman outscored Berry 20-9 in the fourth quarter to earn the 18-point victory.
Both Harris and Trotter scored 14 points for Oakman while Farley added 12.
For Berry, Weston Bonner had 11 points.
Oakman closes out the regular season at home against Northside on Monday.
Sumiton Chr. 58,
Shades Mtn. Chr. 28
Sumiton Christian notched its 20th victory of the year on Friday, beating Shades Mountain Christian 58-28 on the road.
"They've told me that this is just the third time in school history that they've won 20 games," Sumiton Christian coach Bill Griffin said. "It's been a good year for us, especially considering we were 0-9 in our first nine games in the summer. We've come a long way."
Friday's game was close through one quarter before Sumiton Christian outscored Shades Mountain Christian 14-6 in the second quarter for a 23-12 halftime lead. The Eagles scored 35 points in the second half to earn the blowout victory.
Vann Lovelady had 16 points and 12 rebounds to pace the Eagles (20-6) while DeMonte Hobbs had 12 points and Cam Mercer put in eight.
Next up for Sumiton Christian is a game against No. 8 Marion County at 5 p.m. Friday in the Class 1A, Area 13 Tournament at Parrish.
Sumiton Chr. 57,
Shades Mtn. Chr. 30
Three Sumiton Christian players scored in double figures as the Eagles knocked off Shades Mountain Christian 57-30 on Friday.
Sumiton Christian (11-12) led 17-6 after the opening quarter. Both teams doubled their score in the second quarter, giving the Eagles a 34-12 halftime lead. Sumiton Christian led 46-23 going into the fourth quarter.
Kendell Hamm had 17 points for the Eagles while Collin Bowen added 14, Kendall Beth Sides put in 11 and Katlyn Sides had nine.

Harvard Remodeling Study Predicts
Builder Gets Jail Time for Worker's
After five years of unprecedented growth, consumer spending on
home improvements softened in 2006. But a recent study by the
Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University predicts
that the industry will rebound just fine.
"The 2006 slowdown in the broader housing sector was reflected
in the remodeling industry, with many homeowners putting their
improvement activity on hold until the market stabilizes," says
Joint Center director Nicolas P. Retsinas in a press release.
Declining sales of existing homes also put a dent in remodeling
activity, because people often fix up their homes right after
buying them, or before selling them.
Reasons for optimism. So why the
sunny forecast? Several factors bode well for the industry's
growth, say the study's authors, beginning with the nation's
aging housing stock — two-thirds of existing homes are
more than 25 years old — and aging population of boomers,
many of whom plan to stay in their homes but want modifications
to suit an older, child-free lifestyle. Further demand for
remodeling services is expected to come from homeowners who
want to make their houses more energy-efficient and landlords
who badly need to upgrade their rental properties.
In all, the study projects that spending on home improvements
will increase at a 3.7 percent annual rate (adjusted for
inflation) over the next decade.
In 2005, the 5 percent of U.S. households that spent the most
on remodeling accounted for more than 60 percent of all
home-improvement spending, an increase of 15 percent since
Greatest growth at high end. In further good news
for remodelers, the Joint Center predicts that the
professional-contractor share of the remodeling market will
grow by 46 percent (compared with 36 percent for the DIY
segment). As in the past, much of that growth will be in the
high-end sector. In 2004-2005, the study notes, the 5 percent
of households who spent the most on home-improvement services
accounted for more than 60 percent of all remodeling
expenditures during that period.
In stark contrast, 31 million owner-occupied homes in this
country (almost 45 percent of the total) received less than
$1,000 per year in maintenance or home improvement spending
between 2000 and 2005, according to the study. Eventually most
of those homes will become candidates for overdue improvements
or repairs.
Small local firms predominate. The Joint Center
study also addresses the fragmented nature of the industry
itself. Unlike the home-building industry, where widespread
consolidation has resulted in a proliferation of nationwide
companies and supply houses, the remodeling industry still
consists almost entirely of small firms that serve limited
geographical areas.
Between 1997 and 2002, in fact, the number of self-employed
remodelers increased twice as fast as the number of firms with
an actual payroll. Among remodeling firms with payrolls, almost
three-quarters reported gross earnings of less than $500,000,
and only one-tenth claimed earnings that exceeded $1
Specialization. Authors of the study
see little evidence of large firms dominating the remodeling
field in the near future, but they do note a trend among
successful players toward specialization. From 1999 to 2005,
design/build firms and companies that offer "single line"
services, such as roofing, siding, or window replacements,
experienced revenue growth that exceeded that of the industry
as a whole, say the study's authors.

Remodeling Industry: Improving America's Housing 2007," can be

• The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection
has issued conditional permits for a demonstration facility
designed to convert construction and demolition debris into
high-quality synthetic natural gas. Ze-gen Inc. hopes to have
its waste gasification plant operational by late spring of this
year. The company has been given one year to prove that its
technology can generate significant amounts of renewable energy
without emitting any pollution. The facility is designed to
process 500 tons of waste per month.
• The U.S. Supreme Court threw out a $79 million antitrust
award against Weyerhaeuser in February. The U.S. District Court
in Portland, Ore., ruled in 2003 that the company had violated
federal antitrust laws by deliberately overpaying for logs in
an attempt to drive up prices (see In the News, 1/07). The suit
was brought by a small mill in Washington state, which claimed
it was driven out of business by the lumber giant's predatory
tactics. Weyerhaeuser was supported in its appeal by a number
of large corporations — among them Coca-Cola, Microsoft,
and Dow Chemical — who worried that their ability to bid
competitively for supplies would be hampered if the lower
court's ruling was allowed to stand.
• Australian Prime Minister John Howard has announced that
his government plans to outlaw the sale of energy-wasting
incandescent light bulbs by 2012 and replace them with more
efficient compact fluorescent bulbs. Since much of the
country's electricity is coal-generated, such a move could
reduce Australia's emissions of greenhouse gases by 4 million
tons per year. Here in the states, legislators in California
and New Jersey have introduced bills designed to encourage the
use of fluorescent lighting, but the federal government has not
taken a stand.
• Experts in the home building industry were scratching
their heads last November, wondering if Microsoft founder Bill
Gates knew something the rest of us didn't (see In the News,
1/07). At the time, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was
loading up on shares in seven of the country's largest home
builders, while everybody else was selling as fast as possible.
In its latest quarterly filing, released in February, the
foundation revealed that it has in fact unloaded those shares.
During the intervening few months, the overall value of the
stocks fell 4 percent.
• Laundry rooms are multiplying. A recent article in the
Wall Street Journal reports that well-heeled buyers are
equipping their homes with more than one. Statistics on the
trend are scarce, but the paper cites a number of high-end
developers who offer dual laundries as standard fare. The
article features a couple who own an 11,000-square-foot home in
Utah with a washer and dryer in every bedroom's closet. Not
having to lug a laundry basket around probably gives them more
time to drive to the gym and work up a sweat on the

ordered by the contractor, Kenneth Formica, to hook up a sewer
pipe inside an unshored trench at a point 12 to 15 feet below
street level. When Pavia complied, the vertical earthen walls
collapsed, asphyxiating him and burying a co-worker up to his
neck. At the time of the accident, Formica was operating the
excavator used to dig the trench.
OSHA regulations require that a trench deeper than 5 feet be
shored or sloped to prevent cave-ins. During testimony before a

Earlier that same year, his company, Formica Construction of
Port Richmond, N.Y., had been cited by New York City Department
of Transportation inspectors for sending workers into an
unsupported 10-foot-deep trench. Work on that job was halted
until the trench was properly shored.
Formica was originally charged with a seven-count indictment
that, in addition to criminally negligent homicide, included
assault, reckless endangerment, and manslaughter. Conviction on

2012 bottle.I gotta say I have never seen a saison/farmhouse Belgian this dark in color,it's a deep mahogany with a great looking fluffy one and a half finger light beige head atop that spits and billows as settles oh so slowly in my chalice.Aromas of candied sugar and hard toffee,a light peppery spice is detected.Dark fruit and toffee flavors with a smack of pepper in the finish wich I like,dark fruits as required are there.Although the bottle may say farmouse this isn't a farmhouse beer,it's a Belgian dark with peppercorns and it's pretty damn good.

Bottled 03/04/2011. 22 oz bomber poured into a tulip
Appearance: Oily black. Nice tan head.
Aroma: Dark fruits. Can't get much else.
Taste and Mouthfeel: Malt forward, with a spicy kick in the finish that cuts the sweet malt. High carbonation that is somewhat unpleasant to me.
Overall: I really would not buy it again as the taste is too dull when there's so much more out there.

Notes from 4/20/11;bottle 1/11
A - Pours a deep amber/red with three fingers of creamy tan head. Head has great retention and leaves good lacing.
S - Smell is mostly Belgian yeast with a slight funk.
T - Unexpected slight tartness in the taste, with some pepper and yeast. Aftertaste is somewhat bitter, peppery and dry.
M - Light/medium mouthfeel with nice carbonation.
O - Overall a good saison, but not one of my favorites. Pepper adds something interesting. I would have this again, but not seek it out.

Bomber, 2011 version, Bottled "01/07/11"
Near black, larger mocha head, larger bubbles, slow to fade. Leaves ample froth, thick sheeting.
Dark malts in the nose.
Malty, dark and roasty, not getting much if any traditional "saison" characteristics. Maybe some light pepper in the finish. Eh...not really sure what to make of this one, others said "stout", "porter" "schwartz beer/saison hybrid" and even "black IPA" If you are looking for a nice saison that looks and tastes like a saison, this is not for you...Decent enough drinker, but not really doing much for this saison lover...

Thanks to Pawola22 for sharing this bottle. Always happy to try a new beer from Goose Island.
The beer pours a dark brown color with red highlights and an off-white head.
The aroma is caramel and Belgian yeast, with some spiced notes and a little bit of chocolate.
The flavor is similar. I get some chocolate notes, as well as quite a bit of dark fruit, Belgian yeast, pepper and some light Belgian candy sugar.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

A - This beer poured dark but nothing out of the ordinary. Definitely something that I'd expect from a saison. The head was very minimal, however I didn't really have a straight pour.
S - Smelled of brown sugar and citrus.
T - The brown sugar citrus smell continued on through the taste, however, the aftertaste was surprisingly mellow for me.
M - Good bodied, and not too watery.
O - Overall, a good beer and worth the try!

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Tulip. Bottling date of 1/3/11.
Appearance: Very dark ruby with nice tan head, but does not leave much lacing.
Smell: Banana, molasses, clove and pepper. Not as pungent as most Saisons, as the roasted malt may temper the classic crisp Saison aroma.
Taste: Tastes like a mix of banana and molasses upfront, with hints of chocolate and ripe fruit. Finish is more spicy, with clove and pepper, and a light roasted bite.
Feel: Moderate carbonation, fairly smooth body, dry finish. Creamier than the typical Saison.
Drinkability: Comes across as a more mellow Saison with just a touch of roasted malts (most noticeable by the molasses aroma and taste). Also, reminds me a little of a Dunkelweizen. Overall, mellow but very drinkable and enjoyable.

Bottled on 1/3/11
A-Dark black/brown color, moderate carbonation, tight tan head with lacing on glass
S-Yeasty, fruity esters are dominant aroma
T-Yeasty, sweet malt flavor with some sourness and astringency, a little floral/pine hop aftertaste. Different from any other "saison" I've had.
M-Plenty of tingly carbonation, medium bodied, lingering sour/astringent aftertaste
D-The aftertaste makes this a bit low compared to other saisons.
O-An interesting combination, this dark saison has decent flavor, the aftertaste is a bit offputting, will see how it ages

The Jungle Brothers are an American hip hop group that pioneered the fusion of jazz and hip-hop and also became the first hip-hop group to use a house-music producer. The group began performing in the mid-1980s and released its first album, Straight Out the Jungle, in July 1988.[1] With Afrocentric lyrics and innovative beats, the Jungle Brothers were critically acclaimed and soon joined the influential Native Tongues collective.[2] The original trio comprised Michael Small (Mike Gee), Nathaniel Hall (Afrika Baby Bam, a homage to Afrika Bambaataa) and Sammy Burwell (DJ Sammy B). Sammy B left the group after the group released Raw Deluxe in May 1997.[1]
Their first album, Straight Out the Jungle, was released on an independent record label (Warlock).[1] The single "I'll House You," added to the album in 1989, is known for being the first hip-house record recorded outside of the Chicago scene, which was a club hit that drastically changed the way the hip-hop and dance-music industries worked.[3] In spite of the commercial failure of Straight Out the Jungle, Warner Bros. Records soon signed the group and released Done By the Forces of Nature in November 1989.[1] The album was a critical smash at the time, though it has since been largely ignored by hip-hop critics in favor of the similarly acclaimed alternative hip-hop album 3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul, released the same year.[citation needed] Also in 1990, the Jungle Brothers contributed the song "I Get a Kick" to the Cole Porter tribute album "Red Hot + Blue" produced by the Red Hot Organization. Following a four-year break, the Jungle Brothers returned in 1993 with J Beez Wit the Remedy, another commercial disappointment. The Jungle Brothers involved themselves with an emerging Hip Hop organization called Ill Crew Universal (ICU) which released worldwide compilation albums and supported independent Hip Hop artists.[4][5] Their fifth album, V.I.P. was produced by Alex Gifford of Propellerheads and, during production, they found time to add their vocal stylings to the Propellerheads tracks "Take California (And Party)" and "You Want It Back". Their latest album to contain any new releases is 2002's All That We Do.
In 2001, their song "What's the Five 0" was featured in the music video game FreQuency.
In 2004, the Jungle Brothers joined with British producer Mr On to produce "Breathe (Don't Stop)", a version of "Breathe and Stop" by Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, combined with a sample of Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" (the idea was taken from a bootleg remix combining vocals from "Breathe and Stop" and music from "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough").
In 2005, the Jungle Brothers released a greatest hits and classic remixes and rarities double album, This Is..., which included remixes by The Wiseguys, Urban Takeover, Natural Born Chillers and Stereo MCs.
Their status as a group is in question, as Mike G and Sammy B are touring (Sammy B also toured as fellow Native Tongues member Black Sheep Dres' DJ), and Afrika Baby Bam now goes by B.A.M. and has a new movement called Pagan Society. In an interview with AllHipHop.com, B.A.M. expressed his discontent with today's rap music industry. B.A.M. also stated his disappointment in Pos (De La Soul) and Q-Tip (A Tribe Called Quest) in a Vibe magazine article, saying that they are the reason that a full-fledged Native Tongue reunion has not transpired.
In 2008, their single "What U Waitin 4" was ranked number 88 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.[citation needed]

Prevent the sneeze, avoid the wheeze
As if the common cold or flu isn't dreadful enough, if you're one of the thousands of Cincinnatians who suffer from asthma, you'll have to take extra precaution to ensure a sneeze doesn't turn into a wheeze.
"The most common cause of asthma exacerbations in adults and children during the fall and winter are viral infections," says Christopher Schmitt, M.D. [4], pulmonary and critical care specialist with The Christ Hospital [5].
Frigid winter air and cold and flu symptoms like chest and nasal congestion can trigger or worsen asthma attacks. During an attack, muscles in the airway constrict and block airflow, which leads to wheezing, coughing, chest pain or breathlessness.
But even before you reach for the vitamin C, follow these steps to breathe easy this cold and flu season:
- Make an asthma action plan. As much as you try to avoid getting sick, if you do catch a virus, being prepared could help prevent a trip to the ER. Make sure to take controller medications [6] as prescribed; have access to quick-relief inhalers; and track your air output daily using a flow meter. "Put a back-up inhaler in your car or a drawer at work so you're ready even when you're away from home," Dr. Schmitt says.
- Get the flu shot annually. As soon as the flu vaccine is available, everyone six months and older should receive a flu shot. Asthmatic people ages 19 to 64 who take controller medications should also receive a one-time pneumococcal vaccine to prevent pneumonia. "Most people who have asthma could be at risk for infections in the lung and other organs," Dr. Schmitt says.
- Shape up your immune system. "People with asthma are not more prone to infection, but when they do get sick, respiratory tract symptoms are usually more severe and last longer," Dr. Schmitt explains. With that said, try to avoid illness altogether with these cold and flu prevention tips [7].
- Call your physician at the onset of symptoms. Don't assume you can self-treat the cold or flu. Symptoms can quickly go from annoying to severe. "We might be able to prescribe a medication that can lessen the symptoms and length of the virus infection," Dr. Schmitt says. "We want to do what we can to stop an asthma attack from happening."
Long-term relief for asthma
Seasonal factors can affect all asthma sufferers, but for those with severe asthma, attacks can be ongoing. Now, chronic asthma patients have a long-term solution. A new outpatient procedure at The Christ Hospital, called bronchial thermoplasty, delivers controlled heat to the wall of the lungs to reduce excess smooth muscle that builds up in the airway of asthmatic patients. With less muscle to constrict, attacks become less frequent and severe.
"The procedure reduces the number of asthma attacks, trips to the ER and days off from work and school," Dr. Schmitt says.
The procedure is only ideal for chronic asthma cases and may be covered by insurance with pre-approval. The only way to know if you're a candidate is by making an appointment with your physician. "If you have any form of asthma, check in with your physician now to make sure we can prepare you for cold and flu season," Dr. Schmitt says.
Breathe easy this cold and flu season by scheduling a preventive check-up with your primary care physician. Call 877-904-4YOU or visit www.TheChristHosptial.com [8] for more information.

1949 Farmall Cub HI LOW range set up?
Looking into buying a 1949 Farmall Cub. The owner says it has the HI LOW range set up on the rear axle. He says both wheels drive in high but only one wheel drives in low, is this normal? It is mounted on the left side (Short Axle). The guy wants $3200 for the tractor which also includes a front loader and Front Blade, is that a decent buy? Thanks, Nick
Re: 1949 Farmall Cub HI LOW range set up?
Depends, is the answer. 1000 loader is worth more, in my book, than the other brands. Condition of both the loader and blade is very important not to mention the condition of the Cub. Finally, the 'despeeder' can be a real prize,if it is complete and in good condition. Pics would be a real help to evaluate condition.

Re: 1949 Farmall Cub HI LOW range set up?
Like Bill said, depends. How much will it cost to get everything up to snuff? Cub parts are relitivly cheap and easy to find, a motor rebuild is not. That being said, the despeeder is worth $500-$900. Others will correct me if I am wrong but you can do a search here for despeeder and learn more. An average Cub is worth, in my area, $1200-$2000, Grading and Leveling Blade $150-$225 and loader probably <$1000. With that in mind, it looks like he might be in line with the price but it's not a bargin at that price. IMHO

Re: 1949 Farmall Cub HI LOW range set up?
Search this site for Howard Despeeder, that is more than likely the hi-low range implement the seller is describing.
The Howard Despeeder drives/powers both rear wheels. It may provide a bit more power to the left rear wheel than the right rear wheel, but both rear wheels are powered.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: 1949 Farmall Cub HI LOW range set up?
The Howard Despeeder can be mounted on either side of the axles, but is most commonly mounted on the left side as you've described. Technically, any tractor, car, truck, etc., with an open differential is only "driving" one wheel. However, because of the way a differential works, power is applied to both wheels. This is true with the Howard Despeeder. Just because it's on the left axle end does not mean it only drives the left wheel. The gear reduction reduces the drive speed, which is evenly applied to both rear wheels because the differential is open.
As others have said, based on what you're looking at, the price is pretty much in line. $1000 for the loader, $1000 to $1500 for the tractor, $800 for the Howard gear reduction unit, $250 to $400 for the blade. I'd say he has things priced pretty fair, as long as everything is in good condition.

Re: 1949 Farmall Cub HI LOW range set up?
G'day to you .... and hey.... buying a Cub ... nice. And it has a loader and a blade? Awesome Course for the price pics would be good, as well as to properly ID the loader and the blade. That will affect value immensely. If as Bill indicated it was an IH 1000 loader, it would make the Cub/Loader/Blade combo more valuable. Even one of the other loaders would still add a fair amount of value but about half to 1/3 of the IH 1000 depending on if it is completely hydraulic or a trip loader. The blade if it is a Cub-54 or a Cub-54A would increase the value over a home made/custom built blade. Also of course condition has a huge bearing on the value.

Recent Andes Reviews
Imagine a friends' reunion with four people getting together after decades apart, along with a few partners and spouses filled with both anticipation and trepidation. For this we needed extra-special comforts, state-of-the-art facilities, access to superb countryside views and walks, self-catering facilities for unforgettable cuisine, with lots of room for adult laughter and merriment but also for quiet moments of privacy, and, of course, excellent state-of-the art wifi to keep us in touch with the world. All of this and more we received. Topped by the most wonderfully warm, helpful, welcoming host. Michael has equipped the venue not only with excellent facilities and everything one needs for a long weekend away, but also with tasteful furnishing and decor, lots of books and videos, and a user-friendly kitchen with all implements supplied, everything needed for external barbecue, superbly comfortable beds, linen, bathroom towels, etc. Every photo on the website is an accurate refection of the attractive and spacious reality of the place. It is meticulously clean and cared for, and the pre-visit information is accurate and very helpful. The local towns (and the store three miles away) provide easy access to supplies. This is a number one vacation venue: for anyone looking for a dream vacation spot with home comforts, this is it.
Peaceful Getaway
A beautiful and serene area and a cabin with every amenity imaginable. A perfect place to get away from it all and recharge. Very private but helpful and friendly neighbors nearby. I had a great time.
The cabin is beautiful and so is the property
The time that we spent at the cabin was wonderful. The log home is beautiful and the house and kitchen are very well supplied with everything you need (feels like home - plenty of soaps, towels, kitchen supplies, sandwich bags, etc.). This is good because the cabin is quite remote and it's a real hassle to run to the store if you forgot something. This is definitely a weekend or week vacation house where you want to shop on the way there, and then plan to kick back and relax for the rest of your vacation. We enjoyed great challenging hiking on nearby trails as well as relaxing on the deck with some drinks as we watched the sun set. There were no houses in view from the front deck, which made the cabin feel even more remote that in actually is (there are neighbors nearby, but not within sight). After the sun set, we retired to the outdoor fire circle with a roaring fire. The owner has crafted wonderful rustic benches around the stone fire circle. We had a great weekend getaway and will definitely try to come back to this "cabin." We would recommend it to any of our friends too!

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- The body of renowned long-distance runner Micah True has been recovered from a remote area of southern New Mexico.
State Police Lt. Robert McDonald says crews recovered the body Sunday and turned it over to the Office of the Medical Investigator.
Their efforts in the rugged Gila (HEE'-luh) Wilderness came after a searcher found True's body Saturday evening. True disappeared Tuesday after leaving a lodge for a 12-mile run, and a search was launched the next day when his friends reported the 58-year-old hadn't returned.
The runner's cause of death is still unknown. There were no obvious signs of trauma, and McDonald says it could take a couple of days before authorities know what happened.

Kris Lager Band prepares for a busy August
* The Kris Lager Band is preparing for two big events in August. First, the band will play all three nights of the Hullabaloo Music & Camping Festival starting Friday, August 3rd at River West Park, 23101 West Maple Road. The event also includes performances by That 1 Guy, Walter Trout and a host of local bands. Then, the Kris Lager Band will release their new album, Swagadocious, on Friday, August 31st. The album includes a cut with Magic Slim, a Chicago blues icon who now resides in Lincoln. The band also recorded tracks with Tab Benoit in Louisiana earlier this year, as well.
* Nebraska Pop Festival wrapped up its weeklong event Sunday, July 15th at the Barley Street Tavern, 2735 North 62nd Street. The event donated 100% of its proceeds to Arts For All Inc., which provides affordable arts education in the Omaha area. The total donation totalled $1630 from all of the festival's shows, which featured local bands alongside several national and international touring acts.
* Mynabirds have released a new video for "Disarm", the second video to be made for their 2012 album Generals. The mid-tempo track is again guided by synth and a bedrock of stomping percussion. Generals' producer Richard Swift directed the black-and-white bonfire clip, which can be viewed on Vimeo.com. Meanwhile Omaha band is set to support Okkervil River on a short tour run in late August.
* Grace Potter and the Nocturnals cement their sound on the bluesy Janis Joplin-inspired wail that emits from Grace Potter whenever she opens wide to sing. While that meant at times the backing band's instrumentation got lost on a hot summer night Sunday, July 22nd at Harrah's Stir Cove, 1 Harrah's Blvd. in Council Bluffs. Still, the band did best when their classic rock bar band bombast met with Potter's vocal strength. That was apparent with the band's hit, "Paris (Oh La La)" and the sultry "Medicine". The sashaying, excitable Potter did her best to get the audience moving, even trotting out a pitch-perfect version of Heart's "Crazy On You".
* Lincoln's Bourbon Theater inexplicably relegated New York's acid-bathing post-shoegaze noise kings A Place To Bury Strangers to a underpromoted, 6 p.m. early show slot and then cut short the show to make way for a DJ in their front bar area. But that didn't stop A Place to Bury Strangers from delivering a jet-engine-loud blast of effects-rattled noise-rock, highlighted by singer/guitarist Oliver Ackermann building a field of feedback by carting a Marshall amplifier over his head and then parking it at the very front of the stage. Ackermann then ended the set bathed in seizing strobes, one of which he grated across his guitar for a shockwave of noise and light that will be hard to forget for a long time.

Learn more about Hacking Chinese
I have studied three foreign languages in various situations: English, French and Chinese. In my language learning life so far, I have been taught a lot about grammar, words and culture, but I have seldom been taught the most important thing of all: how to learn a language. Most teachers and textbooks focus on the language itself and present material for the students to learn, but forget that there is much to say about how one should go about learning those things in an efficient way. Even more important, successful learning requires a long-term strategy, but most courses and teachers only offer short-term solutions.
On Hacking Chinese, I try to answer questions like:
- How do you improve listening, speaking, reading and writing in Chinese?
- How do we learn characters and words efficiently?
- How do we organise and plan our studying to make sure we reach our goals?
- What attitude and mentality should we adopt to learn as much as possible?
- How can we become fluent within a reasonable time frame?
This website is dedicated to unveiling the mysteries of learning a language in general and about learning Chinese in particular. If you don't take responsibility and think for yourself, it will take ages to reach a decent level, but if you become aware of how to learn and study efficiently, fluency is within reach.
If you're new to Hacking Chinese, I suggest you check the welcome page. It features the most important content on this website, along with a brief introduction to what Hacking Chinese is. The website is powered by WordPress and PageLines.
Please support Hacking Chinese!
If you like what I'm doing, please support me. How much you want to donate is up to you; even small donations count!

- Donate $5 monthly using credit card or PayPal
- Support Hacking Chinese using Flattr
- Support Hacking Chinese using Bitcoin (12ibAB4jN6wegLcQJdkz1FEhm3irbi7wnB)
I provide all articles on Hacking Chinese for free. The 100+ articles on this website have taken hundreds of hours of my spare time to write. I'm not sure readers realise how much time I invest in Hacking Chinese, but I can tell you that it will be impossible to keep this up forever without receiving something in return. Rather than focusing less on Hacking Chinese, I would like to focus more! Please support me to make this possible.
My strength is that I am a non-native speaker of Chinese who has reached an advanced level (I'm currently enrolled in a master's degree program in teaching Chinese as a foreign language for native speakers and I'm doing quite well so far). This means that apart from being able to teach, I also have broad knowledge of methods, resources and tools that will help you reach your goals. I also think I have a rare combination of analytical skill, academic knowledge and practical experience both as a learner and a teacher, which is useful in a number of context, such as when designing courses, textbooks, learning tools and software. If you want to know more about my education background, please refer to my LinkedIn profile.
In essence, if you hire me, you hire the mind behind Hacking Chinese. I will do my best to help you, but exactly what that means and how it will be achieved depends on you. Here are some examples of what people have hired me to do before. If you want to hire me, use the contact form below:
- Language coaching: Learning a language is a massive undertaking and learners sometimes rightfully feel lost. What's the next step? What should I be focusing on? How can I prepare myself for going to China? How can I maintain my Chinese after leaving China? How can I ensure I get the most out of the time and money I invest in learning Chinese?
- Lecturing and teaching: I have previously held lectures about study technique for Chinese, mostly focusing on how to learn the important things that usually aren't taught in a classroom, such as how to learn vocabulary sufficiently, what resources exist online to help you learn on your own and much more. Judging from the responses I've received from these lectures, students really lack this kind of guidance.
- Consulting and analysing: I have seen my share of textbooks, learning software and websites. I have also gone through the process of learning three foreign languages to an advanced level. I also seem to be fairly good at dissecting and analysing things in a systematic manner. If you're developing any kind of product related to Chinese and want my help, I will do my best to provide insightful comments and help you succeed.
This should cover most of the reasons why you might want to hire me. If you are interested, please use the contact form below.
See what I have published or contributed to elsewhere
Sometimes I publish articles about learning Chinese elsewhere, contribute to other people's projects or appears in an interview . On this page I gather links to interesting articles, pots and interviews related to Hacking Chinese but that is hosted somewhere else.
How to Keep Learning a Language when You No Longer Have to
June, 2014 - Smart Language Learner
An expert panel article about motivation after you reach your initial goal of being able to communicate in the language. I think the answer is heavily dependent on why you started learning the language in the first place. If your goal is to reach a near-native ability, you should be able to keep yourself busy for decades.
How Should I Learn Foreign Grammar? 20 Experts Show You How
April, 2014 - Smart Language Learner
This is an expert panel article with twenty different takes on how to learn grammar. My reply is somewhat lengthy, making me think that I should probably expand it to a proper article here on Hacking Chinese. If you're curious about my general approach to grammar, this is a good place to start. There are of course also other interesting replies here as well.
Improving Foreign Language Pronunciation: Audio interview on Language is Culture
March, 2014 - Language is Culture

How to Learn Chinese Faster: Capacity Management
January, 2014 - FluentU
This is the second article I've written for FluentU and it's focused on the topic of capacity management. The main ideas here are not limited to language learning, actually, but is part of the much bigger approach I have to doing almost anything. The key concept discussed here is your current capacity for learning and how you should structure your learning around this, neither overextending nor under performing.
Chinese Listening Practice: Why and How to Get Started
December, 2013 - FluentU
This article focuses on listening ability and is fairly comprehensive.

The article deals with why listening practise is important, as well as concrete suggestions for how you can improve your listening ability in Chinese.
38 Language-Learning Experts' Favorite Methods for Learning Vocabulary
October, 2013 - Smart Language Learner
I made a small contribution to this article containing lots of interesting ideas on vocabulary acquisition. I think the question is too big and the format too narrow, but I still tried to describe my approach to learning words in a foreign language. A more interesting debate would probably follow if a specific scenario was chosen so that answers were more comparable. Perhaps something for an upcoming article!

Review: Benny Lewis – The Language Hacking Guide
July, 2011 - Interesting Times Magazine (issue 7, free download)
This is my review of The Language Hacking Guide by Benny Lewis. I'm quite positive to his book in general and think that he has a lot to teach about how to learn languages, mostly related to attitude. He has since tried to learn Mandarin, see my thoughts about that project here: Can you become fluent in Chinese in three months?
Having covered the most important things about the website above, I think it might be in order to say something about myself. Hi! My name is Olle Linge (Chinese name: 凌雲龍). In short, I'm a Swedish guy who takes an interest in too many things. Studying languages (mostly Chinese and English) is what's occupied most of my time since graduating from high school and I have a degree in teaching both Chinese and English. My Chinese studies so far include three years of studying in Sweden and almost four years in Taiwan. I'm currently enrolled in a master's degree program in teaching Chinese as a second language in Taipei.
Apart from languages, I like writing (articles, fiction, games), sports (gymnastics,unicycling, diving, volleyball) and games (role-playing, boardgames, Rubik's cube). If you want to know more about me, I suggest you take a look at my personal website or my LinkedIn profile!
