Yay!!! We both had mixed feelings about arriving in London...on one hand we were not entirely looking forward to paying for things in "full normal prices" again but on the other hand we were excited to be back in a full English speaking country where things are easier to access such as medication and doctors. We were also pretty pumped to catch up with friends who either lived in London or were also travelling, more particularly Luke, Kate, Zac and ...

Pyrrhonism, philosophy of Skepticism derived from Pyrrho of Elis (c. 370–c. 272 bce), generally regarded as the founder of ancient Skepticism. He identified as wise men those who suspend judgment (practice epochē) and take no part in the controversy regarding the possibility of certain knowledge. He proposed the neutral position of accepting things as they appear without further analysis. Pyrrhonism profoundly influenced philosophical thought in 17th-century Europe with the republication of the Skeptical works of Sextus Empiricus, who had codified Greek Skepticism about the turn of the 3rd century ce, and its force has resounded to the present day.

TRIATHLON: Emma-Kate Lidbury comes out on top in Palm Springs
Updated 11:32am Wednesday 19th March 2014 in Sport By Danny Hall, Sports Editor
CRICKLADE'S stellar triathlete Emma-Kate Lidbury made a spectacular start to her 2014 season when she ran away with the Desert Tri in Palm Springs over the weekend.
Lidbury is now based in Santa Monica, California and she again showed the benefit of training with other world class athletes by finishing in a time of 1min 55.58, almost five minutes clear of her nearest challenger in a field of 213 women. She was beaten only by eight men in the competition.
Lidbury was hampered by a dislocated shoulder in 2013 but still managed two Ironman 70.3 victories in Kansas and Texas.
She will again be targeting the Ironman 70.3 World Championships later this year but plans to compete in her first full Ironman event before the end of the season.

New website has info on RR soybean patent expiration
The last U.S. patent covering the original Roundup Ready soybean trait expires in 2015. As U.S. farmers begin thinking about purchasing their soybean seed for 2014 planting, they have a new resource to answer their questions about the expiration of Monsanto's original Roundup Ready soybean trait – soybeans.com.
"Even though the original Roundup Ready soybean trait is covered by a patent in the United States until the start of the 2015 planting season, we're already getting questions from farmers about what they can and cannot do with Roundup Ready soybeans. Soybeans.com can help answer questions growers may have about patents as they pertain to planting and saving original Roundup Ready varieties, as well as the benefits of new seed. It's a great resource for farmers as they plan for next year," said Monsanto's U.S. Oilseeds Product Management Lead Norm Sissons.
The site outlines Monsanto's commitments regarding the original Roundup Ready trait patent expiration, explains the different patents and breeders' rights typically covering soybean seed, and includes frequently asked questions and a decision tree on saving seed.
"We hope by having a website like soybeans.com available, we're able to provide a useful service to farmers and answer their questions," said Sissons. "Soybeans.com helps give farmers a good understanding of seed patents, so they are aware of how they can legally use the seed they purchase and so they understand which seeds varieties are still protected by patents and may not be savable, including Monsanto's second generation higher yielding soybean trait, Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield."
"Because patent law and seed technology is complicated, figuring out which seeds can be legally saved and planted is complicated too. Soybeans.com is a good first stop for farmers who are interested in potentially saving and planting soybeans with the original Roundup Ready trait," Sissons added. "We recommend they review soybeans.com and then visit with their local seed dealer to get more information before purchasing their seed."

If I were the Attorney General, I would make it my all out effort to give the GMO patents (and original R & D) stolen from the US Land Grant Universities back to our US citizens and if Monsanto wants to be paid for the sale of hybrid seed, so be it! Monsanto has gotten away with patenting HYBRID SEEDS-GMO seeds for far to long!

That's higher than I thought we'd be. I figured that with the sort of no name QB we'd get shuffled down a lot lower.
With one of the top five defenses in NFL history that season, give me a break. The Rams are no where near a #3 ranking? I would have to rank the Bucs in the top 15 based upon their entire performance that season, their march through the playoffs, and their demolition of the leagues #1 ranked offense.
That's it I'm sick of the disrespect our Super Bowl team receives, I'm voting as much as possible until the voting is over.

Nicky Hayden remains confident Ducati can solve a persistent understeer issue that has dogged the Desmosedici MotoGP project in recent years.
The understeer issue was a constant complaint of Valentino Rossi during his disastrous two-year stint with Ducati, which ended in him walking out to sign a new deal with Yamaha for 2013 and 2014.
Hayden believes Ducati made some progress in reducing the understeer but he admitted it is still an area that's vital for Bologna factory technical staff to work on for the 2013 MotoGP world championship.
Ducati failed to solve the understeer issue, despite ditching its carbon fibre frame concept for a conventional twin spar aluminium chassis in the second half of the 2011 campaign.
And just before he quit Ducati at the end of 2012, Rossi said a big frustration had been the fact that the same problems he identified at the end of 2010 still existed in his final Desmosedici appearance in Valencia earlier this month.
The headache of solving the understeer issue will no longer be Filippo Preziosi's though after he was moved to a new role at Ducati in a major management reshuffle instigated by Audi last week.
Hayden, who failed to score a podium finish for the first time in his Grand Prix career in 2012, told MCN: "It is not so easy to find a magical fix for everything but Ducati has got some good ideas and certainly I hope we can do it. But it is clear that we have to fix that problem. We have got some other problems too.
Anybody is always going to push the front to a degree, especially now we have got such grip in the rear with all the electronics. Am I convinced we can fix it overnight? No. But I am convinced we can fix it and there is no reason we can't. With the aluminium chassis we can see everybody else has solved it so it is a matter of figuring it out."
Asked what he thought about Rossi's comments at Ducati's failure to solve the understeer throughout the Italian's time at Ducati, the 2006 world champion added: "It is true that we haven't solved the front feeling and turning but a lot stuff is better and Valentino got a lot of stuff he wanted.
There's definitely been some improvements for me personally from two years ago. But it is clear it is not enough."
Hayden and new teammate Andrea Dovizioso will continue their 2013 MotoGP preparations at a three-day test session in Jerez that gets underway tomorrow.

"Like I keep saying, no tangible conclusions from the first test, time will tell."
So your point bluto, is that you have no point. Why am I not surprised by that.
02 December 2012 09:37
I put his first sentence down to the bad weather that wiped out the last day which stopped them building on what they'd done on day 2, rather than disappointment at the results from what they' tried.
The boss didn't seem too unhappy
but Nicky turned some good lap times despite the tyres being at their limit in the cool conditions.
Like I keep saying, no tangible conclusions from the first test, time will tell.

Nicky Hayden, Ducati Team
"Things didn't go as smoothly as we had hoped, but the test has been
useful despite everything. On the first day, we struggled a little bit
getting up to speed, but we improved somewhat yesterday. We were able to
evaluate the new frame and swingarm, as well as a few new settings.
Today, though, the weather hasn't been kind to us. I did three exits in
the wet, but it hasn't been dry enough for slicks. It would have been
nice to ride in the dry today, as we wanted to confirm a few things and
improve our pace, but nonetheless, we got through some things and have a
lot of information to work with. Thanks to the guys for all the hard
work this year. Now we'll look forward to February at Sepang."
01 December 2012 10:05
Not arguing Buell ?
Well ok, but when you told me I was full of crap, then mis-quoted Laverty's fastest time and disputed he did it on a qualifier, I took that as an argumentitive response.....
I did say no real conclusion could be drawn from the test (just my opinion) - who knows what they were running, may have been new spec tyres. No idea. I just said better to be faster than slower. Given that conditions were colder than they were at the race, should that give them optimism? No idea. Probably. They seem happy.
You assume I have a hidden agenda and want a Ducati resurgence as proof that they can do it without Rossi. I couldn't care less.

Roopa Marcello grew up eating Indian food at home and sandwiches at school, but today she writes about a variety of vegetarian-friendly cuisines on her blog, Raspberry Eggplant (www.raspberryeggplant.blogspot.com). Her version of the Vietnamese sandwich banh mi chay is easy to make and adds crunch and flavor to lunch.
Makes: 2-3 servings
For the pickled carrots:
1/2 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 carrots
For the marinated mushrooms:
juice of 1/2 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon sriracha sauce
3 portobello mushroom caps (about 6 ounces total), cut into 1-inch strips
For the sandwich:
1 large baguette
2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 medium seedless cucumber
1/2 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon soy sauce
To make the pickled carrots, in a small saucepan, bring the vinegar, sugar and salt to a boil. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. In the meantime, peel and coarsely shred or finely julienne the carrots, then transfer the shredded carrots to a non-reactive bowl or container. Pour the vinegar mixture over the carrots. Refrigerate overnight. (If you're in a rush, you can leave it at room temperature for an hour, but overnight is best.)
To prepare the mushrooms, mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a quart-sized plastic bag. Add the mushroom strips and marinate overnight in the refrigerator or for 1 hour at room temperature.
To assemble the sandwich, heat oven to 400 degrees F. Put the marinated mushroom strips and the marinade in a baking dish and bake until the mushrooms are soft, about 12 minutes. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes. Cut the baguette open by slicing it in half but not going all the way through. Spread the mayonnaise on one side of the baguette. Place the baguette on a baking sheet and heat it until it is crisp and lightly browned, about 6-8 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before assembling the sandwich.
In the meantime, cut the cucumber lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices and squeeze the liquid out of the pickled carrots.
Assemble the sandwich by arranging the cucumber slices in a single layer on the baguette, then topping them with the mushrooms, pickled carrots, and cilantro. Sprinkle the soy sauce on top and close the sandwich.
Cut into 3 or 4 sections and serve.

- The Warwickshire Open - The U16s and The U4s - and the 1sts & 2nds
The 2014 Warwickshire Open will be played next Monday 8th September at Walmley GC. Paul Broadhurst (pictured) was last year's Champion but he was unable to play in the Warwickshire Pros, the qualifier for our pros, and so will not be able to defend his title. His son Sam, now off 1, is playing as are nearly all our best amateurs, ready to take the title back. Many will have played the day before in the last Midland League Matches of this year, and our U16s and U14s have been in action.
- Rugby take Two - as Aiden Marches to Title
The 2014 Warwickshire U14s and U12s - North Warwickshire GC - Tuesday 19th August - If the results of this years championships for our youngest golfers are anything to go by, Rugby Golf Club have been developing the next wave of Junior talent in our county.

Warwickshire Boys vs Shropshire & Herefordshire - Sunday 17th August - Ingon Manor Golf & Country Club - I arrived at Ingon Manor with a team packed at the top with experienced players and four boys making their debuts at the bottom of the field for our winner takes all match. Shropshire & Hereford were fresh from their 13.5-1.5 victory against Derbyshire and had their strongest 10 boys available (REPORT INCLUDES MATCH VIDEO LINK)

- A New Hope - Return of the Broadhurst Jedi
The Final of the 2014 Boys Matchplay Championship - Kenilworth GC - Friday 8th August. Warwickshire has produced some incredibly talented golfers - in recent times (say from the 70s) the likes of Peter McEvoy then a string of our players who turned professional such as Carl Sunesson, Steve Webster, Andy Sullivan, Sam Walker, Tom Whitehouse - and of course Paul Broadhurst. Whether his son Sam will reach Paul's tournament heights, winning trophies is part of the fun of amateur golf, is something for the future, but for now, Sam has gone home to show his father a second Union Trophy after a big win in today's final.(15/8 VIDEO ADDED)
- 'Golden Fleece'
The fourth County match of the season would see Warwickshire at home to Derbyshire at Robin Hood Golf Club near Shirley. Robin Hood is a wonderful parkland layout that over the last few years has invested heavily in its biggest asset, its course. Recent changes to the course has seen the redesign of some of the holes, the relaying of greens and the construction of new water features on at least three of the holes (Report includes a link to our video)
- Keep on winning
Warwickshire U16s vs Shropshire & Hereford U16s Saturday 2nd August 2014 - Church Stretton GC - The long trip to Church Stretton proved to be a valuable experience in many ways. The course is short by today's standards but when you add in the 30 mph winds and driving rain during the day, it made for a true test of golf.

Good to start with a win, says Virat Kohli
Kohli scored a magnificent hundred in India's comprehensive six-wicket win over the hosts while chasing a modest 228 to win.
"It's always good to kick off a tour with a win and personally I was happy with the way I played. The ball was moving around a bit early on and it was all about percentage cricket, rotating the strike and then playing your shots at the end," Kohli, man-of-the-match, said.
Kohli had struck a century in the West Indies when he led India in the absence of regular skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
The young skipper credited his bowlers for setting up the easy chase.
"Our bowlers did a very good job up front. The new ball was doing quite a bit in the morning and with two new balls you can't count any team out," he said.
Kohli also acknowledged debutant Ambati Rayudu's effort as he came up with an unbeaten half-century. Kohli and Rayudu added 159 runs for the third wicket.
"Congratulations to Ambati Rayudu, he's got an India call-up after a long time and he's grabbed his opportunity very well," he said.
Rayudu, who played for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, seemed a satisfied man after spending a sleepless night before making his India debut.
"It's been a long wait for me. When I came to know about my debut, I couldn't sleep last night. I was totally blank. My only aim today was to go out there and enjoy myself. I decided that I will play each ball on its merit. It was great to play with Virat who is the best batsman in ODI cricket. My job was to play alongside him," he said.
Losing skipper Brendon Taylor was not disappointed with the effort of his side but wished they had scored some more runs against a formidable batting line-up.
"First hour was vital, we didn't lose any wickets but we could have been a bit more proactive. Against a quality side like India we needed 270 on the board," he said.
Taylor also derived satisfaction from performance of two players -- opener Skinadar Raza, who scored 82 and off-spinner Prosper Utseya, who took two of the four Indian wickets that fell.
Utseya accounted for Kohli and Suresh Raina, who could not even open his account.
"Sikandar Raza played very well, showing good composure despite having hardly played any games. Prosper Utseya was good with the ball and hopefully next time we can come out and express ourselves a little better," Taylor said.

The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor.As much as I agree with this law, I can't say I'm convinced it applies here. Is measured IQ used for social decision-making? If anything, isn't it a trope that everyone hates (or professes to) people who announce their IQ score?
A young child scoring 160 on the 1960 norms of the Stanford-Binet (L-M) would score approximately 129 on the WISC-III! This is a loss of 31 IQ points in 31 years, almost 2 standard deviations of intelligence.The Flynn effect and the fact that modern IQ tests are scored in a completely different way, returning scores that cannot be directly compared to the old tests, are less important than Really Big Numbers.
...Another scored 137 on the WISC-R, and a year later tested 229+ on the Stanford-Binet (Form L-M), at the age of nine missing only two items on the entire test!
"In this chapter, I will argue that the notion of culture-free intelligence is a contradiction in terms."posted by tykky at 10:57 PM on October 25, 2012 [2 favorites]
The psychologist Michael Cole and some colleagues once gave members of the Kpelle tribe, in Liberia, a version of the WISC similarities test: they took a basket of food, tools, containers, and clothing and asked the tribesmen to sort them into appropriate categories. To the frustration of the researchers, the Kpelle chose functional pairings. They put a potato and a knife together because a knife is used to cut a potato. "A wise man could only do such-and-such," they explained. Finally, the researchers asked, "How would a fool do it?" The tribesmen immediately re-sorted the items into the "right" categories.This other example, however, seems to misfire:
The big gains on the WISC are largely in the category known as "similarities," where you get questions such as "In what way are 'dogs' and 'rabbits' alike?" Today, we tend to give what, for the purposes of I.Q. tests, is the right answer: dogs and rabbits are both mammals. A nineteenth-century American would have said that "you use dogs to hunt rabbits."I really don't see how that question can have the functional answer. Being involved in the same functional relation is not a way of being "alike". Hunter and hunted are not alike; they are related. When people say that my brother and I are alike, they mean we have similar appearance, behaviour, interests, attitudes — not that we are related, not that we have complementary roles in some family dynamic, not that you can use him to hunt me. The word just doesn't mean that. The Kpelle example, in contrast, says "sort [things] into appropriate categories", which does seem to allow grouping by functional relations, or indeed any grouping principle.
But is the genetic cup really empty, or are we just looking for the wrong stuff? Kevin Mitchell, a developmental neurogeneticist at Trinity College Dublin, thinks the latter. In an essay he published in July on his blog, Wiring the Brain, Dr. Mitchell proposed that instead of thinking about the genetics of intelligence, we should be trying to parse "the genetics of stupidity," as his title put it. We should look not for genetic dynamics that build intelligence but for those that erode it.posted by the man of twists and turns at 3:25 PM on October 26, 2012
"If the everyday world is your cognitive home, it is not natural to detach abstractions and logic and the hypothetical from their concrete referents," Flynn writes.But "both are involved in hunting" is a significantly *more* abstract kind of similarity than things like "both have four legs", "both have fur", and so on. It's a step or two down the road to abstraction, the road to saying that "likeness" obtains in any predicate whatsoever which is true of the things said to be alike. Isn't it?

ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
Every once in a while, a book comes along that is so ahead of its time, so visionary, that it seems almost to predict the future. And if that book just happens to be hilarious, well, so much the better.
Author Cara Hoffman knows of such a book, written nearly a century ago, and she recommends it for our series You Must Read This.
Ms. CARA HOFFMAN (Author, "So Much Pretty"): I have two confessions to make, long-hidden nerd secrets about which I simply have to come clean. One: I read science fiction - a lot. And two: If things aren't funny, I tend to ignore them. I realize this doesn't fit the image of a literary novelist who writes about serious issues, and that it also puts me in good company with most socially challenged middle-school boys. But that's just how it is. At some point we have to accept ourselves.
So it is with the full weight of my geek cred that I tell you: You must read Karel Capek's "The Absolute at Large." A piece of genre work so hilariously sophisticated, revelatory and stealthy, it delivers one of the highest subtextual critiques of modern society while achieving the lowest of lowbrow accomplishments, among them making the reader spit her drink, split her sides and suffer a full three minutes of post-hilarity hiccups.
In "The Absolute at Large," the fate of all mankind hangs in the balance as the world is overtaken by fundamentalist religious fervor caused by an invention called the Karburator that produces free energy and releases God or the Absolute as a by-product, something initially mistaken by the novel's protagonist as a poison gas because of the way it affects people's behavior.
Once God is unlocked from all the places it resides, a multiplicity of religions spring up - the church of industrial machinery and the church of the merry-go-round compete for worshippers while the businessman who invented the Karburator hides in the mountains away from the deleterious side effects of new energy, one of which is giving money to the poor.
I also love this novel because of the scenes that take place in harried newsrooms, with baffled reporters struggling to turn out papers amidst an outbreak of madness that threatens to engulf their objectivity. Capek's dialogue is fantastic, his characters richly drawn. But his vision of a world transcendently captivated by an apparent higher calling and then hoodwinked into war for nine years over a source of fuel is so prescient, it makes the novel seem like it was written today.
Capek wrote the book in the 1920s, and the work presaged two of my favorite authors: George Orwell and Philip K. Dick. More modern examples of Capek's work can easily be seen in The Onion and off the page in "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report." But Capek is not as distant, nor as desensitized a narrator.
"The Absolute at Large" illustrates perfectly how important social critique can be slipped into genre fiction and is able to have a broader impact as a result. The novel is as accurate as any work of nonfiction, as slyly weighty and refreshingly unmannered as some of the best literary work out there. It lifts the veil on the dystopic slapstick of politics and religion, and, through wit and surrealist speculation, delivers the reader to understanding like administering a pill to a dog in a spoonful of peanut butter - or, should I say, the Eucharist to the supplicant in the form of a waxy white wafer.
Do yourself a favor and read this book. It's never been more timely or significant, and the jokes just never get old.

Frandy Family Cruisers by Frandy - 12 days ago
"Our Custom Ink tee shirts were a great hit on our recent 16 family member Frandy Cruise. The back of the shirts read, "Remember, as far as anyone knows, we are a NICE normal family". We became known as the "Normal Family" as people said they were the best shirts they had ever seen. The shirts were worn when we came in 2nd of 11 teams for volley ball. I told them that even if they didn't win they sure would look good. Thank you Custom Ink for being so easy to work with. Andy Cooke"

America's Favorite LivingSocial Deals | Blogs
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Have you ever wondered if anyone actually purchased that LivingSocial deal for botox or pole dancing that you remember reading in bed while you were checking your emails before you got in the shower? They had 24 hours to make the choice and according to this week's release by Living Social of their 2nd Quarter report [April - June], it is certain that these deals were and are being scooped up by the thousands! I am a huge fan of a great deal as most of you already know and think that paying retail for anything, especially for food, fitness & entertainment is completely unnecessary.
I found the 2nd Quarter information quite interesting because it's interesting to see what deals Americans' are obsessed with, as well as the trends in the marketplace. LivingSocial categorizes their deals/vouchers by 4 categories; Beauty, Food/Dining Out, Fitness & Entertainment.
Here are some things that stuck out to me & you may agree… We are a bunch of weirdos & it's awesome! To continue reading this article, please visit Stiffler's Social Scoop...

Southern Pinwheel Galaxy: Messier 83
Messier 83, nicknamed the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy located about 15 million light years away.
In this image, reddish white areas indicate areas of intense star formation. The galaxy is most visible in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Porpoise Galaxy from Hubble
What's happening to this spiral galaxy? Just a few hundred million years ago, NGC 2936, the upper of the two large galaxies shown, was likely a normal spiral galaxy — spinning, creating stars — and minding its own business. But then it got too close to the massive elliptical galaxy NGC 2937 below and took a dive. Dubbed the Porpoise Galaxy for its iconic shape, NGC 2936 is not only being deflected but also being distorted by the close gravitational interaction. A burst of young blue stars forms the nose of the porpoise toward the left of the upper galaxy, while the center of the spiral appears as an eye. Alternatively, the galaxy pair, together known as Arp 142, look to some like a penguin protecting an egg. Either way, intricate dark dust lanes and bright blue star streams trail the troubled galaxy to the lower right. The above recently-released image showing Arp 142 in unprecedented detail was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope last year. Arp 142 lies about 300 million light years away toward the constellation, coincidently, of the Water Snake (Hydra). In a billion years or so the two galaxies will likely merge into one larger galaxy.

Last summer, photographer Ben Lamberty took a spontaneous photo of a couple kissing and the photo turned out to be, in his words, "so cool" that he decided he needed to make a series out of it. He asked his friends—some of whom were actual couples—to model for him, resulting in this passionate series of chemistry and attraction.

Thank you for a quick reply!
The last picture is very purple, I agree. It is an old picture, taken in jpeg for some reason. I do have other pictures from the same place, approx. at the same time (last year), and they were just as purple. A bit more contrasty though. I do agree with you though, it is perhaps a tad too purple.
It often gets quite foggy out there, and that gives the sunsets a very intense color.
Here is a more recent picture from the same place, taken june this year. All I have done is to add some clarity, a bit of NR, and some sharpness. No Color correction, and this is pretty much similar to what it looked like in real life.
Also, here is a version w no vignette...

After spending most of my life traveling only in the New England area such as Maine in the summers with the kids and Vermont to visit my family I found that the day I hopped onto a plane in June 2011 that my life would change forever. That first flight was so nerve wracking for me and I was having major anxiety over being almost 30 years old and never having flown before.
The flight was only going to be a few hours with one plane switch over or whatever it is called but still I was nervous. Thank goodness a blog friend who lives in New Hampshire was flying to this same event and we were able to book our flights together because without her that first flight would have been difficult on me.
Now that I have flown two times I am about to fly a third I realize that this flying stuff is pretty fun and easy. I love that I can arrive in NYC within just an hour if that whereas in the car it would take me five hours or more. I know that I want my children to visit the various states in the United States and to grow up saying they didn't live a sheltered life like I did. I want my children to experience the views of Park City homes and to look out of an airplane window at the clouds in the sky.
My children will hopefully grow up to be thankful for their adventures they go on with their Mama. I know that once the kids are in their teens it would be fun to look at Park City real estate and other real estate in the US to see if we could possibly have a "summer" home down the road to travel to each summer. Oh the dreams I have of being able to have an adventurous time traveling with my children.

Pours a dark brown, light red tint, thin cap of creamy off-white nitro pour head. Scent leads with an odd rusty, earthy and mineraly profile, moderate notes of roasted grain, chocolate and coffee. Taste leads with roasted grain, moderate amounts of coffee and chocolate, faint dark fruit and again a minerally taste. Medium bodied, even with nitro pour, lightly dry, lacking full creaminess expected from combination of pour and style. Some good things going on here, but nothing overwhelmingly good.

A - A thin fingers worth of lush ultra creamy eggshell colored head... The color is a deep dark brown that lets a bit of light leak in around the bottom of the glass where it displays a reddish hue.... Mostly still with limited carbonation...
S - Faint chocolate... Coffee... Some light dark fruit notes...
T - A good bit of molasses... Light chocolate notes... Perhaps a hint of coffee... Some very lightly roasted malt notes...
M - Medium bodied... Limited carbonation... Silky smooth... A bit of chalkiness on the finish...
D - A respectable stout... Not sure I would have pegged it as an Oatmeal Stout though... The nitro-tap pour adds some nice character...

Shade Mountain comes off of a nitro-tap, and it therefore has the typical nitro look. Dark body that is thick and opaque, and a slab of brown head. Both retention and lacing are quite good.
The aroma is a bit muted, with chocolate and coffee sticking out.
Chocolate and toffee lead things off, buttressed by a good bit of roasted malt. Next comes a fantastic coffee flavor that the replaces the chocolate and toffee, but only eclipses the roasted malt briefly. The roast lingers throughout the entire beer, as does a sweetness that hangs out in the background.
Big, smooth, oily, nitro-tap.
I'm no fan of nitro taps, and a I really wonder what this one tastes like on a normal gas system or on-cask. Even on nitro, this beer is very good, and I dig the big flavors but relatively low ABV.

On tap at SGB served in their typical "footed pils" type of glassware. This brew appears brown in color with a creamy tan cap. Awesome retention to the cap of froth that sits atop of this brew. As it slowly fades, it leaves a webbing of lacework all over the glass.
The smell of this brew is chocolate malt, sweet with a light note of fruity hops to alcohol inclusion. There is a minor note of minerals noted throughout the body which adds some depth to the brew's nose. At times it smells a bit green and yeasty but not overly done and distracting. Some herbal hops are evident as the brew warms up.
The taste is chocolate malt with a note of yeast meets alcohol providing a bit of a young character to the brew. There is a moderate to mild contrasting bitterness which comes from the hops and some mineral character that balances out the sweet chocolate notes.
This is quite an easy drinking brew that is medium bodied and modestly carbonated. It is quite smooth and creamy in the feel that is very enjoyable. It is fairly clean and balanced and has the right amount of alcohol to let you sit and enjoy a few of these.

Served on-tap at the Selin's Grove brewpub into a pint glass.
A - Pours pitch black with a creamy one finger tall white head, dissipating down to a light film, leaving light rings of lacing down the glass.
S - Smells of lightly roasted chocolate malt, coffee, and a bit of lactic sweetness. Very subtle nose but in a good way.
T - Nice creamy feel with hints of coffee, chocolate, light hop bitterness, and some lactic sweetness. Very good overall balance of flavors blend well with the low ABV. Finish is a touch dry with some lingering dark roast. Excellent stuff.
M - Heavy body and flavor with moderate carbonation. Lush, creamy, feel with plenty of lingering roast in the finish.
O - Very good. I really enjoyed this one. The combination of light roast and low ABV. make this one extremely drinkable and quite enjoyable. You can't go wrong with this one.

Beer on nitro tap at the pub. Beer is dark brown and hazy with a tiny nitro head of tiny bubbles. Lots of lacing, low aeration.
Beer has a mildly sweet and mildly roasty aroma, smells good.
Beer is creamy and soft on the palate with minimal lead off sweetness and a nice bitter roasty finish. The beer is fleshed out in the midpalate by the oatmeal and it's very drinkable. I could kill a lot of this, low alcohol is a bonus as well.

On tap at the brewpub. Reviewed from notes.
Pours a deep brown with a nice, tall light tan head and a bit of lacing on the way down. Nose brings forward roast, chocolate, coffee, and a bit of brown sugar. The taste is nice as well with some chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, caramel, and sugar. Nice full feel from the nitro. Great creaminess. Drinks quite well and is really tasty. Glad this is pretty much always on.

On cask at SGB on 6/20/10.
A - Emerged from the beer engine as a dark brown liquid with burgundy highlights around the edges and a full finger's worth of bubbly tan froth on top that disappeared, leaving no traces of lacing at all.
S - Roasty malt character with a pleasant cocoa aroma and some lactic notes. Pretty subtle otherwise, but quite nice overall.
T - Roasted malt with cocoa notes. Definitely not as acetic as the nitro version. Hint of caramel sweetness in the middle, followed by a nutty malt character. Finishes with a slight earthy hop bitterness.
M - Medium bodied and really smooth mouthfeel, perhaps a tad watery overall, but still retains a creamy cask feel.
D - I think I actually prefer this on cask. Shade Mountain is easily one of my favorite Oatmeal Stouts out there, and it was a pleasure to sample it on cask for the first time.

Enjoyed on tap at the brewpub Another master craftmanship by this brewpub. Only mild roast, and only 4.8% a.b.v. Very opaque brown with a light brown head. Taste nitro-tap even though not listed as that. Creamy mouthfeel consistent with that. Cold coffee and chocolate, great bittersweetness.

A - Deep dark brown body with some lighter brown highlights...a creamy tan head formed and retained very well while drinking...not much lacing
S - Wonderful aromas of chocolate, oats, and roasted malts
T - This is one tasty beer...the flavors just explode on your palate and one doesn't stand out among the others...the oats play an important role making this an oatmeal stout...the malts are roasted and toasted to perfection and they don't leave a bitterness...a chocolate and coffee flavor are present which (the coffee) leaves a desirable bitterness
M - Full bodied...wonderful on nitro...so so creamy
D - This is my favorite oatmeal stout and my favorite SGB...so far...I had this as my dessert beer and it just hit the spot

T-Quite tasty. Roasted malt, some sweetness and a slight bitterness in the finish.
M-Silky smooth. Great body for the style and ABV.
D-A very sessionable oatmeal stout.

Reviewed on 10/27/08. On tap at the brewpub. Pours dark brown with a super thick and foamy tan head like a milkshake. Aroma of light sweet roasted malt. Flavor of sweet oatmeal, roasted malt, and light bitter chocolate. Smooth from the nitro. Meh, this was ok but didn't stand out from any other oatmeal stout.

An old, but never tired, standard at SGB that I have never taken the time to review. Sometimes you take good things for granted!
A-Deep dark brown that leaves small amounts of light through around the edges. Topped by a tight, medium tan head that receded to a small cap and left hefty lacing.
S-Rich and roasty with a note of a sour twang. Hints of coffee and toffee in the background.
T-Rich and meaty roasted malt with a bit coffee. Sweet caramel and toffee notes come out upon warming. A mild hop bite finishes things off.
M-Medium body with a super smooth and creamy texture. Mild bitter bite and long lasting flavours abound.
D-what's that you need a quality oatmeal stout? Good thing this is on then! Wonderful stuff. Smooth, luscious with an excellent full body of flavour. This is just about everything you could want in a regularly offered, everyday drinking stout.

This is one of the best Oatmeal Stouts I have ever had. This beer was served to me on tap and on nitrogen. What really stands out in the beer is the mouthfeel. Between the combination of the Oatmeal and nitrogen serve, a beer can't "feel" much better than this.
The beer goes down smooth and has full flavor to it, but not too strong or overwhelming. Seems to have a slight slight hint of chocolate flavor, but I'm not sure if that is intentional or not.

On tap via Nitro at the brewpub.
Pours black with some garnet highlights around the bottom and about a finger width's of creamy tan head. This possesses great retention that leaves spotty lacing and some oily, brown residue down the sides of the glass. The aroma is roasted malts, chocolate sweetness, oatmeal, coffee, and maybe even just a touch of dark fruit tang hidden back there.
The taste is a great balance of chocolate and caramel flavored sweetness and some more bittering notes of coffee and roasted malts that really play off each other very well. Finishes with more of the sweetness lingering on the tongue. The mouthfeel is lovely with a smooth and incredibly creamy feel from the nitro pour.
This is just a fantastic Oatmeal Stout and is just another in a long line of fantastic beers from the SGB. And I love that it is almost always on when I visit. Great stuff!

This is the second half of a growler purchased yesterday at the Brewery. It also represents my 200th review of a Pennsylvania beer.
A: The stout has lost all of its carbonation, in fact most of it was gone last night when I opened the growler. Regardless of that, the stout is pitch black, looking like freshly brewed coffee.
S: The aroma is burnt malts, sweet oats and just a hint of gingerbread that I did not notice yesterday.
T: The stout does not disappoint taste-wise. The oat grist adds a sweet flavor that manages to meld nicely with the strength of the roasted malts. The roasted flavors come out at the end of the sip, providing a slightly bitter finish after a sweet start. The roasted malts also manage to impart a slightly sour angle that contrasts nicely with the sweetness.
M: Delicious. The growler has lasted approximately 24 hours and I am surprised that it did. The oatmeal adds such a sweet depth to the stout that it seems like a natural match.
D: Selinsgrove is only 1 hour from Harrisburg, well worth the trip for a stout of this calibre.

Sampled at the brewpub on a recent trip. The beer poured a deep black color with a thick, creamy off white head that gave nice lacing and good carbonation. The aroma was of dark chocolate and roasted coffe. The taste was equally dense and fragrant with some hops to boot on the backend. Just an overall solid stout, another from Selinsgrove.

Another trip to Lewisburg means that another visit to this gem of a brewpub was in order. I had wanted to try this during a prior visit, but they didn't have it on. Luck was with me on this visit.
Per the beer menu: "Roasted barley is the trademark of a stout, a bittersweet separation from its cousin porte. Our deep black stout is made with a grist containing 15% organic oatmeal to create its remarkable silky texture."
Dark, dark, *DARK* black in color, with a silky, creamy-smooth head. All sorts of lacing of the glass with distinct rings. Sweet in the nose with the roated malt aromas mingling nicely. Top-notch flavor. Chocolatey sweet up front and starts to dry out in the middle. There's an undertone of a coffee note as well, with flecks of Quaker oatmeal dancing in and out. Dry and sweet aftertaste. Serving this through the nitro tap just makes it all the more rich, creamy, and palate-pleasing. At 4.8%, this is something I could drink all damn day. Another winner from a brewpub that's making its way up my list of favorites.

Presentation: On tap at the Selins Grove Brewery during a quiet Saturday afternoon visit.
Appearance: Dark black body with a nitrogenous impregnated tan colored head. Finely dissolved conditioning is very supportive. Archetypal looks.
Nose: Heavy on the roasted malts and chocolate stout. Soft aromas lick the edges of the glass but hang nicely above the thick head.
Taste: At only 4.8% this one is a real treat and packs plenty of flavors into its well attenuated body. Milky coffee, roasted malts, espresso, dark chocolate and some carbon covered grain. Very smooth, the transient flavors have seemingly invisible seams.
Mouthfeel: Fluffy deep blanket texture with an incredibly smooth and inviting feel. Lipsmacking stuff.
Drinkability: The Nitro dispense aided both the smooth feel and light body but more than anything the quaffability excels.
Overall: Highly enjoyable and not that bad a substitute for the previously anticipated White Horse Porter which sadly was not available. The Shade Mountain Oatmeal Stout is another favorite from Selins Grove, a great outfit that produces some highly accomplished brews, & this is definitely one of them. Recommended.

I had this on tap at the brewpub. Not sure if this was nitro or not. I didn't ask. It seemed like it was, but you never know. There was only one stout on at the time.
Comes as a near opaque black with a very tight one finger head of really tiny bubbles. Looked like nitro to me. Great lacing on the glass for the duration of the beer.
Aroma is of dark roasted coffee, dark brown sugar, slight piney hops, and dark grains. The smell of this stout made me want to sip ASAP. Very inviting aroma.
Taste is of sweet dark coffee, deep and rich. There is also a just detectable tartness, kind of like sour apples(?), pleasant, but maybe not to style. Also taste herbal/earthy hops way in the back. Still, this is a very smooth oatmeal stout. Even with the tartness, (astringency?) lactose comes through.
Mouthfeel is luxurious, incredibly smooth cask like carbonation, with a sweetness that is not cloying at all. The finish is fairly short, with a sweet/tart aftertaste.
There were several locals there while I was there, and one of them had this all night long. I can see why, this is a slammer!

Direct and Indirect LightThere are two types of light in this world; direct light and indirect light. Each of them serves a unique purpose in photography, and each has its advantages and disadvantages.
Direct and InPhotography literally means painting with light. As light (photons) enters our digital sensor, the photons knock lose some electrons (photodiode). The camera can measure these electrons to construct the image.
Direct LightThink of direct light as the opposite of side light. Instead of shooting at sunset, you're shooting at noon. The light, while still soft, is coming directly at your fabric. This reduces texture and hides flaws.Direct Lighting ...
Light shining directly on the subject and producing strong highlights and deep shadows. Direct Memory AccessThe ability to use memory without a software interface.
Direct light comes from a point source, such as the sun on a clear day. Direct light produces dark, hard-edged shadows that crisply outline details. Here the light and shadows almost form an abstraction.
and reflected light (paint) have different primary colors. Yes? No? You lost me.I am enjoying these lessons! ...
Strong, direct light creates short shadows. These are best used for emphasizing large shapes. This is usually midday sun, so don't completely dismiss it but work with it for strong shapes and forms that will still appear majestic in spite of shadows.
Mid-Day, : This light is horrible for flower photography. This light should be used only if a diffuser is being used to soften the light.
Lastly, indirect light can be used to make your subject glow soft and pretty.Top 10 Beginning Photography Tips ...
Reflectors (to re)Flat devices, mostly white, silver, or gold, that redirect the sun's and other source's rays. Lighting with reflectors is like lighting with lights - except no cables. Just cloud and wind worries.
-When you want to provide fill-in light for shadow areas, it is often desirable to substitute a plane reflector (sometimes called a reflector board) to redirect the light from a direct light source (fig. 1-15).
Is the face in shadow or is does fall upon it? Are there distractions in the background that direct the viewer's eye away from the animal?
They rate the screen under different conditions including direct light, bright light as well as normal indoor conditions. We assess how reflective the screen is, the purity of the colour and whether there is any noise (static) distorting the image.
You don't want streaming in through a window because it will have too much contrast in the final picture. You might find that light near a big window, a doorway that opens to the outside, or under a porch.
Keep all the components from direct light. Stray light can penetrate the assembly and fog the film. Clean all the components before beginning, especially the felt strips on the holder. They prevent dust from accumulating on the print.
The SLT design has an electronic viewfinder, rather than an optical one, and as a result it doesn't need a movable mirror to up to the viewfinder.
Waterfalls enjoy overcast days and indirect light. If you have direct sunlight you will get blowing of highlights very, very quickly. You can boost contrast and saturation later in PP. This is an example of a shot done on a completely overcast day.
Matthieu's work with sharp, ing provided the high contrast necessary to emphasize the dramatic nature of the situation. Including the eye chart provided necessary context, but shooting at f/1.
Even though an in-camera flash has enough intensity for direct light on nearby people, this type of light can be quite harsh.

In general, the more direct light the better when working with fall foliage photography. I say this because the brighter the leaves, the more impact your photo will have most of the time.
Quality of Light. produces sharp dark shadows and contrast between light and dark. Diffused light, such as the light of a cloudy day, softens shadows and produces softer tones of gray in your photo.
At sunrise or sunset, direct light works well for alpine landscapes. If foreground flowers land in shadow while the sky and mountain peaks are sunlit, use a split neutral-density filter to balance the exposure.
What you need to do, is to avoid this that creates shadows, and avoid those surroundings that create reflections in your jewelry.
The system uses a beam splitter (implemented as a small semi-transparent area of the main reflex mirror, coupled with a small secondary mirror) to direct light to an AF sensor at the bottom of the camera.
Because your flash fires directly through a lightbank, it produces ing, even though the lightbank may have a diffusion panel in front of the flash tube to soften the flash.
Direct light is rarely interesting. Oblique light enhances contrast. Dawn and dusk light are beautiful times of day. Many buildings lend themselves to twilight or night views if there is adequate interior and exterior lighting.
Nothing you've ever seen before prepares you for the breathtaking quality of a total eclipse - an eclipse in which the disk of the moon blocks out all of the from the disk of the sun.
The bare-bulb flash heads were directed away from the model to avoid any direct light on her. Use the white walls of your studio to bounce the light back.
14 Soft light is more forgiving than . Diffuse flash and use reflectors to bounce light onto your subject to achieve this.
Consider other indirect light sources to enhance the depth of the background and props, too.

The next thing I tried was to see the difference the umbrella made and how the diffused light differed from the of the flashgun.To be honest, that was as far as I got. So not very inspiring yet.
Most units must be used on or close to the camera for direct lighting only. And the camera lens must be set to a specific aperture (or a small range of apertures) determined by the speed of the film in use.
DIFFUSED LIGHT or DIFFUSE LIGHTING - Light that is scattered and spread out as opposed to specular light. Diffused light is softer than , with shadows that are less sharply-defined (lower contrast).
The only problems you have when using your flash is that the direct lighting tends to flatten the image and hide detail. It also may cast some heavy shadows behind the subjects.

Objective To compare the reported point prevalence of chronic physical illness among children looked after by local authorities with those living in their own homes.
Design Cross-sectional study, using questionnaire data from a national survey.
Setting The UK.
Participants Random samples of children aged 5–15 years. Children looked after were selected from Department of Health databases, stratified according to placement type. The child benefit register was the sampling frame for children in their own homes, weighted to match the child population demographic and compensate for response variability.
Main outcome Carer-reported prevalence of 10 physical illnesses.
Results Data were collected on 1253 looked-after children and 10 438 children in their own homes. There were lower rates of asthma, eczema and hay fever reported among looked-after children compared with children at home (ORs, adjusted for age, gender and ethnicity, were 0.63, 0.61 and 0.36, respectively). Epilepsy, cystic fibrosis and cerebral palsy were more commonly reported in looked-after children (adjusted ORs 4.13, 4.2 and 7.26, respectively). There was no difference in the proportions of children in the two groups reporting glue ear, diabetes mellitus, spina bifida or cancer.
Conclusions Looked-after children have an increased prevalence of some physical illnesses. The results also suggest that there may be significant unmet need, with health professionals and carers failing to identify other illnesses. The lower reported prevalence of atopic conditions may reflect a truly lower occurrence of such diseases in looked-after children; this requires further work to explore.
