I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ******* words.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little **** . If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ******* tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will **** fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're ******* dead, kiddo.

a) Very close to the Firenze SMN station (2-5 min walk) b) Comfortable and clean rooms c) Close proximity to many eating outlets and the major attractions of Florence d) Helpful staff at the reception.
Location and breakfast.
the bed was old and saggy and the bathroom had bad smell.
The hotel location is good. 10-15 minutes walk to main landmarks.
The bed was not good and the mattress was not fixed on the frame of the bed, so it slides away.
Good location close to railway stadion. Excellent staff. Very good breakfest.
Quic of the wifi was poor. Also the air conditioning could have be en better - ut was very varm i Florenze during our stay.
Helpful staff, comfortable beds and very close to central station.
Slow wi fi on the 3rd floor.
Perfect location, fine breakfast, comfortable bed.
Could wish for better air conditioning in the top floor and free Wi-Fi.
Rooms, though rather old-fashioned in decor, were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was good. Our rooms faced an inner courtyard so were very quiet. A short walk to the centre, but no hardship to walk and be out of the crowds.
No bar area to sit in - the bar is at reception.
Location is great Breakfast was good
A/C doesn't work properly. You need to ask the reception every time you want to adjust the temperature.
Very close to the station, so it handy when using the Euro rail. A very comfortable Hotel. The room with a view was fabulous and quite. We will stay again.
Wifi was a bit weak.
The hotel is close to all major museums (within 1/2 a mile). The staff was very helpful and spoke French and English. There is a parking within the hotel (18€/day) which is very convenient). The room was nice with a very clean bathroom and there was a balcony with a view to the garden.
A bit pricy when compared to Lucca for an equivalent room, but it's Firenze! Also, restaurants are quite expensive. It's best to get away from the very center (cheaper with better quality).
We loved: the location (2mins from station) lots of restaurants close by- Hop on/off bus stop two minutes walk - the room was small but had everything we needed, with a balcony overlooking shrubbery - narrowest ensuite ever but again complete - breakfast was very good, I had the best tea I have ever had abroad. Would stay here again,
Fighting with the shower curtain every morning as it stuck to you !
I liked the friendly staff and breakfast. The hotel is near the railway station,but it was quite quiet.
We had some problems with the sink, the water stayed for a while,but in general it was excellent hotel
Air conduction is not cool
close to the train station, very convenient. Everything is good.
Location great next to train station and within walking distance to sights.
Couldn't get wifi in bedroom unless i opened the door. Bed hard. Pillows very hard. Breakfast very ordinary.
staff, location ok if you are using the train
overpriced, bad wi-fi, elevator making too much noise during the night, old
La cercania con la estacion de trenes
El elevador se tarda mucho
Hotel is very near the Firenze SMN station. Staffs were kind. Breakfast was good.
Hotel was a little bit noisy. Sometimes Wi-fi was not available in the room. It is not possible to control the room temperature in the room.
The location is terrific: right near the train station and walkable to all downtown sights. The included breakfast was better than most hotels. Staff were very helpful. Shower was bigger than a lot of hotels too. A great value!
The room was dark due to the shutters which, in our room, would not open.
A bit austere, but clean and good value for price.
Location was nice and breakfasts were good.
Not much space to move around in the room or lounge in the reception area
Location, Clean, elevator, breakfast+ everything else
- nothing much really.. everything was good. best hotel while I stayed in Italy
facilities are very old, poor wifi
Comfortable room, air conditioned, very clean. Staff very friendly. Convenient location near Florence Train Station and walking distance to almost anywhere you'd want to go in Florence.
Convenient location, 5-minute walk from main station and not too far from center. Friendly and helpful staff.

My dream of rural Andalucia made realPosted Oct 3, 2013 on Hotels.com
Let me start with my only real concern...and it is one that is pervasive of accommodations in Spain. The beds are overly firm...and Americans will find the convention of making a queen bed out of two twins less than perfectly romantic. That said...my partner and I loved this place. The grounds are beautiful, the vistas breathtaking, the location is a great jumping off point for visiting the many Pueblos Blancas in the region. We enjoyed the restaurant on site (try the eggplant in sweet sauce) very much. While this is neither here nor there...the grounds suffer from a tiny bit of kitsch-itis and the romanticism of the place would be well served by editing out some of the stone statues of gnomes and silly animals in the garden.

Great Rural Hotel Cortijo Salinas near RondaPosted Jan 15, 2012 on Hotels.com
Lovely rural hotel close to Ronda and Grazelema. Located in an idealic spot next to to a beautiful reservoir and spectacular views. A boutique hotel with 14 differently decorated rooms with a lovely lounge full of comfy sofas and big open fire. The hotel could benefit from more available information on local activities and could also provide tea and coffee facilities in the rooms. Just a short drive from Ronda, Grazelema and Sahara de la Sierra there's no shortage of stunning scenery and choice of walks, horseriding, birdwatching etc.

Great hotel for relaxationPosted Sep 5, 2011 on Hotels.com
This was a super find for us and just what we were looking for. Quiet setting with stunning scenery and a short 15 minute drive to Ronda. It is well worth exploring local hilltop villages and the hotel is well placed for this. We would suggest that you make sure you know how to find the hotel before you set out in the car, good map or sat nav is essential. The hotel is lovely, excellent friendly service from the staff and the room spacious and comfortable. Excellent bathrooms, very good showers. We highly recommend getting a room with a balcony- great view and the balcony is huge! We felt very at home at the hotel and would return without hesitation.

As we hit the final third of Big Ten play, how do the Bradley-Terry ratings suggest things will shake out?
Another look at the Bradley-Terry rankings and how the Big Ten standings are likely to shake out as we near the halfway point of conference play.
The latest projections for Big Ten basketball: challengers emerge for Ohio State, and the middle remains a muddle.
Reader diary on a hybrid points-based, win/loss-based college basketball rating system.
MSU checks in at #9 in the latest polls. Texas picks up 7 first-place votes in the AP poll. Not a single coach was willing to switch his first-place vote from Kansas (who didn't exactly run Michigan off the floor) to Texas (who did a ton of literal running down the floor in beating UNC). Good thing college basketball's national championship game isn't a construct of these guys' voting preferences, eh?
#12 in the AP. #14 in the coaches' poll. If we have to drop, I'd really prefer to drop further than this. Not that I can articulate exactly why. Wisconsin at #20/#23, so the Big Ten has 4 ranked teams again.
Still in the single digits, baby: #9 in both polls. I'd say we could have fallen a lot further based purely on our on-court performance to date this season. UNC is at #10/11, so tomorrow night's match-up will still look pretty big-time on the ESPN in-game score graphic. Oh, and the Big Ten goes from 6 ranked teams to 3 just like that [snaps fingers].

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I like this typeface which is used very small on a cd I own. What is it?
Times New Roman. Heh.
oh... what's worse is i thought i disliked this typeface. i guess i've got a long way to go.
And Colin Hartnett joins the Typophile Type-ID Hall of Fame with an impressive 2 minutes!, foiling Stephen in the process. Congrats!
Say Timothy, what do you mean by "what's worse is i thought i disliked this typeface."? I dislike Times New Roman as well and I feel perfectly fine about that. Overuse kills even the best faces, and the times I've seen it used well are very rare indeed.
My acceptance speech:
Ah, that sweet blinking e-mail icon. The delightful rush of adrenalin when trying to identify those anonimous characters. The furious scramble to type and link and post and beat everyone else to it. The satisfaction when your post shows up mere seconds before someone else's. (sigh) Isn't life wonderful?
P.S. Which doesn't mean we all procrastiwhatthehell'sthatword? I just drop everything I'm at when I get the notification, and I get back to work afterwards. ;p
I've got a sneaky suspicion the Typophile clock's gone haywire. Whassup with the time?
Yves... Here I am putting Times up for indentification which is embarrassing enough. The same Times which I always thought I hated and associated with University paper's I'm now claiming to like. The problem is I never looked at it close enough to make a proper judgement in the first place and being prejudice of anything, even type, is close-minded.
By the way, the cd in which I like the use of Times is Biosphere's Substrata | Man With A Movie Camera, designed by Jon Wozencrof.
Ah, Stephen, I just realized:
This is another example that illustrates how great a typeface can look in the hands of one designer and how mundane it can look in the hands of another.
Well, I hate Times New Roman as much as the next high-brow snotty-snobby graphic designer, but it does look gorgeous as used on Mercury Rev's Deserter's Songs (even with the bum apostrophe). And the music is to die for too.
Colin, that's exactly my feeling, perfectly translated by the great Wolfgang Weingart quote: "A good designer can make a beautiful design with an ugly typeface". Not that any typeface is inherently "ugly". Although, Comic Sans...
> I never looked at it close enough
More like large enough.
In effect, Times is [merely] a pretty display face.
You hit it on the head there, Hrant. Seeing Times New Roman printed yay big in issue 40 of Eye Magazine completely reconciled me with the old hag.
I've been Hartnetted!

Morel hunting is a popular pastime in our area. The mushrooms are considered quite the delicacy.
But even when you know where to look, finding morels can be tough.
Jason Harkness, a morel hunter from Bettendorf, is getting a little help these days, thanks to a partner with a real nose for the job.
'Her name is 'River's Edge Lucy's Black Betty', but we call her 'Boo'," said Harkness, when we met up with him and his black lab at Crow Creek Park on Friday.
Trained as a bird hunting retriever, Boo's skills as a mushroom hunter were recently discovered - accidentally:
"I found a mushroom and I was all excited, I said, 'Yay, look at the mushroom!' She smelled it and she got excited, and then I used a command that I use whenever we're hunting, 'Go smell, go find it,'" Harkness recalled.
And Boo did just that, helping her owner find dozens of morels that day.
"I only picked two, and she found the rest," Harkness said.
Harkness says he considers it a gift - a thank you from his dog:
"I mean, how great, we spend so much time together, and work so hard together training to be a good hunting dog and to be a good family dog to get along with the dogs we have at our house and so on and so forth, so I was very, very excited about my dog finding morels," Harkness said.
And this gift happens to be particularly delicious.
"Absolutely like nothing else," Harkness said when asked about the morel's taste. "It's indescribable, there is no other flavor even close to a morel."
But while the taste may be unique, you do have to be careful not to collect a poisonous lookalike called a False Morel.
"A false morel looks very similar to a morel, except the stem and the cap are not connected. The stem goes all the way up to the top of the cap," Harkness explained.
"But with the advent of smart phones and Google and image searches, just be safe and be smart about it."
Harkness can spot the difference easily. He has a lot of knowledge and experience in finding morels:
"It has to do with specific soil chemistry and the moisture content and the temperature," he said. "I literally walk around with a thermometer early in the season and start testing in my areas where I know mushrooms normally grow."
Harkness says he's confident his dog can smell the difference between morels and false morels, too.
"They can differentiate between all different types of things. Their sense of smell is really ridiculous," Harkness said.
And Boo continues to prove it, finding the first morel of the hunt on Friday on her own.
"I would have never known it was there," Harkness said.
Still, Boo has more to learn:
"If she was formally trained, she probably wouldn't trample on them, but sometimes she was stepping on them," Harkness said.
And Boo is not quite consistent with her skills hunting morels yet. That's something the pair continues to work on.
It's clear the Bettendorf man and his dog share a love for the hunt, and Boo has an obvious love for pleasing her owner.
"It's about trust and understanding the animal and the animal understanding you," Harkness said.
With nice weather on tap for this weekend, a lot of people may be tempted to head outdoors and enjoy a little morel hunting. But there are some rules people need to understand before they do.
While you don't need a license or anything to hunt for morels in Illinois or Iowa, you always need to make sure you have landowner permission or are on public land to be sure you are not trespassing in your search.
"Just like hunting during normal hunting season, it's always wise to ask permission," Harkness agreed. "Don't cross fences, don't think you can just go ten feet or ten yards. If it was your property and someone was coming onto your property and you had been waiting all year long through a deep dark winter just drooling for those morels and then some jerk comes and picks them, that would be pretty devastating. So just respect people's property."
Harkness says he finds most of the morels he gathers on public land, and he does have agreements with a a couple of local landowners as well. He says he's willing to go where other people won't in his search:
"We go to public hunting areas, we walk, we wade through water, we cross downed trees, we go through ridiculous conditions," he said. "And we do that to hunt and fish anyway, so we might as well do it to go pick morels."
Morel mushrooms are the fruiting body of fungus that lives underground.
They're typically found around dead trees, often elms, but Harkness says he's found them around all types of trees and even in the cracks of parking lots.
"I've found them all over the place," he said.
Boo will no doubt be a big help in finding the tasty treats in the future.

Jolseph K. Le i binQ,
His Atta-neg.
Patented Aug. 21, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE General Electric Company, a
New York Application February 1,
My invention relates to magnetic indicating devices and concerns particularly such devices for use with systems for locating concealed objects.
One of the systems known for locating con- 5 cealed objects such as ducts for conductors or junction boxes embedded in concrete under the floors of buildings, for example, is to embed a magnetized pin adjacent each of the objects which it may be desired subsequently to locate.
l0 In the case of objects concealed under a horizontal surface such as the oor of a building, the magnetized pin is preferably placed with its axis vertical. The pin may then be located by mov- Y ing about a'dipping compass or a magnetized needle pivoted about a horizontal axis until the compass needle assumes a vertical position, indicating that the magnetic lines of force where the compass needle is located are vertical and that the compass needle is approximately directly above or below the concealed magnetized pin. However, near the vertical axis of the concealed magnet the horizontal component of the magnetic field is quite small in comparison with the vertical component. Consequently, the lines of force are substantially vertical for an appreciable distance either side of the exact magnetic axis of the magnetized pin so that the position of the concealed object cannot be located very exactly and it is necessary to remove and deface an unnecessarily large portion of the flooring and the floor covering or other material concealing the object to be located.
It is an object of my invention to provide a simple, reliable, relatively inexpensive device for locating relatively accurately the positions of concealed objects. Other and further objects will become apparent as the description proceeds.
In carrying out my invention in one form thereof, I provide a casing, preferably in the form of a disk, carrying a plurality of pivoted magnetized needles arranged around a common center. When the common center is directly above the verticalv ly placed bar magnet, this fact is indicated by the alignment of all the needles toward the common point.
The features of my invention which I believe to be novel and patentable are pointed out in the claims appended hereto. A more complete understanding of my invention itself, however, may be obtained by referring to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Figs. 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams of one embodiment of my invention illustrating the indications obtained under two v diierent conditions; Fig. 3 is a view showing a corporation of 1933, serial No. 654,63
section cut by the plane 3-3 of Fig. 2, together with a section of fiooring and a concealed bar magnet; Fig. 4 is an elevation partially in section illustrating the use of a marking attachment with my device; Fig. 5 is an illustration in per- 00 spective of one embodiment of my invention; and Figs. 6, 7, and 8 are theoretical diagrams explaining the lprinciple of operation.
Referring to the drawing, I have shown for the sake of illustration one of the preferred forms of my invention. A circular casing 11 of non.- magnetic material, preferably in the form of a circular plate, carries a plurality of pivoted magnetized'needles 12, 13, 14 and 15 in well 16. The needles are preferably placed symmetrically about a common center 17.
In Fig. 3 a portion of the material, for example, the ooring in a building concealing an object to be located is represented at 18, and a magnetized pin 19 is shown embedded in a vertical position 75 at the point which is to be located. The indicating device is shown directly above the magnet 19 with the needles in the position indicated in Fig. 2.
Referring to Fig. 4, the indicator may, if 30 desired, be provided with a marking device 20 having a point 21 coincidingwith the common center 17 shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The point is normally maintained in a raised position by means of a suitable spring 22. Preferably index 35 markings 23 shown in Fig. 5 are provided to enable the operator to determine more exactly when the needles are pointed directly toward the common center 17..
It will be understood .that in a system for loeating concealed objects with which my indicating device is ordinarily used, the magnetized pins 19 are preferably placed at each of the positions which it may subsequently be desired to locate before the concrete or other material concealing the positions or the magnets is poured or laid. Insubsequently locating one of these positions by means of my device, the casing 11 is moved along, preferably in close proximity to the flooring 18, until the position of the needles indicates that the common center is directly above I the magnet 19, when the center punch 20 is depressed lightly to avoid injuring the pivots by a sharp blow, and the point 21 makes a mark in the flooring 18. Thereupon, the material from which the flooring is composed is chipped out or removed in any desired manner to gain access to the object which is to be exposed.y
Although I have shown a system, for the sake of illustration, in which the concealed` magnet 19 is placed vertically and the indicating magnets pivot in a horizontal plane, it will be understood that my invention is not limited thereto but obviously includes modifications employing a similar principle, such as for example, the use of a horizontal concealed magnet and indicating magnets pivoted in a vertical plane, where the object to be located is concealed behind a vertical surface such as the Wall of a building.
The principle of operation of my device Will become apparent from a consideration of the nature of the magnetic eld. The direction of the eld of force of a magnet at any point is represented by the direction of the imaginarylso-called lines of force 24, shown in Fig. 6. It is well known that in the case of a bar magnet these lines of force are substantially parallel to the magnetic axis within the magnet and tend to diverge symmetrically with respect to the axis of the magnet as they leave the poles of the magnet. Consequently, a freely suspended magnetized needle placed approximately above a vertical bar .magnet will assume a nearly vertical position.
However, since the eld has a small. horizontal component, a magnetized needle which is free to deflect only in a horizontal plane will tend to align itself in a direction of the horizontal component of the field of force of the bar magnet. At the point P, for example, the magnetic field H may be resolved into two components, the vertical component Z, and the horizontal component X. Although the direction of the eld H may vchange relatively little in passing from point P to point P', a device responding to horizontal components of magnetic field only will provide an accurateindication of the change in position from P to P' since the direction of the horizontal component X reverses. By employing a plurality of horizontal needles supported by a portable casing, a position may readily be found at which the needles are spaced around the axis 25-25 of magnet 19, and allthe needles point toward a common center.
Owing to the fact that the strength of the magnetic field of the concealed vertical magnet 19 decreases as the distance from the magnet 19 increases, but the ratio of the horizontal component to the total eld increases with the horizontal distance, there is a particular position in any given. direction from the axis of the concealed magnet 19 at which the horizontal component of the eld is greatest. I have found that the points at which the horizontal component of eld are greatest lie along a circle having its center in the axis of the concealed magnet 19 and having a radius sub-tending an angle of approximately thirty-ve degrees at the upper pole of the concealed magnet 19. In any given installation the exact radius of the circle will obviously depend upon the depth of the magnet below the floor, the distance between the poles of the magnet 19 and the degree of concentration of their magnetic poles. Preferably, the magnetized needles 12 to 15 are placed with their pivots on a circle having this radius.
The relationship between the strength of the horizontal component of eld and the location of the point at which the strength is measured may best be understood by considering a theoretical concentrated pole m (Fig. 7) located a distance e below the horizontal plane n which the compass needles 12-15 are placed. The field strength H at a point P is'proporti'onal to 'rn/1Z where m is the strength of the pole and 1' is the radial distance between P and m. If 0 represents the angle between vertical and the line joining P and m, and K a constant of proportionality, the horizontal component of H is Km sin 0 Km sin 9 cos2 6 Since the height e is constant for any given plane, the only variable factor is sin 0cos20 which has a maximum value, as shownin the curve of Fig. 8, at a value of 0 between 30 and 40. From Fig. 8 it will be seen that by placing the compass needles 12 to 15, in the circle of maximum horizontal component of eld a very materially greater force is available for overcoming pivot friction. For example, at the maximum point this force is 600% greater than the force which would be available at a displacement of 0-5 which might be assumed for the dip needle indication.
Since a magnetized needle suspended for rotation in a Vertical plane, or a dipping needle is bound to be subject to a. certain amount of sticking or friction at the pivots, an appreciable horizontal component is required to deect the needle from vertical when it is moved away from above the concealed magnets. Then since the horizontal component of the field is smallest in the vicinity of the axis of the magnet 19 and 'drops to zero directly over it, a dipping needle is in the worst position from the point of view of eld strength and becomes relatively inaccurate in just the area where greatest accuracy is required. In my device, however, the magnetized needles 12 to 15 may be arranged so as to be in the bestposition, at which the horizontal components are greatest, when the device is placed with the center 17 above the concealed magnet 19. This permits locating the concealed magnet precisely.
In Fig. 1, the positions of the needles are shown when the casing 11 is some distance to one side of the magnetic axis 25-25 of the bar magnet 19 so that the ends of a given polarity, here distinguished by shading, of all the needles point toward the bar magnet and are substantially parallel. Fig. 2, however, represents the position of the needles with the common center 17 in the magnetic axis 25-25 of the lbar magnet 19. Since the needles 12, 13, 14, and 15 are then arranged symmetrically both around the common center 17, device 11, and around the magnetic axis 25--25 of the bar magnet 19, the horizontal component of the magnetic eld affecting each of the needles is toward the common center 17, and the shaded ends of the needles point toward 17. With the casing 11 in any other position, the needles would point toward the magnetic axis of the bar magnet 19 instead of toward the common center 17, thereby indicating that the device must be moved in one direction or another to locate accurately the concealed point. The direction in which the device is to be moved is indicated by the direction in which the needles are pointing. In Fig. 1, for example, the position of the needles shows that the device must be moved in the direction of the shaded ends of the needles until the shaded ends of all the needles are drawn around to point to the common center 17.
In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes, I have described the principle of operation of my invention, together with the apparatus which I now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof, but I desire to have it understood that the apparatus shown is only X= KH sin 0= illustrative and that the invention may be carried out by other means.

The city of San Mateo is holding its 29th annual Bayfront Cleanup -- the largest California Coastal Cleanup in San Mateo County -- on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 7:30 a.m. to noon.
The cleanup will be held at Ryder Park, located at 1801 J. Hart Clinton Drive in San Mateo. The event is expected to draw more than 1,000 volunteers.
In 2012, more than 950 volunteers collected 5 tons of litter and 1,000 pounds of recycling. The highlight of the event is "Catch of the Day" – opportunities for volunteers to show off their most "unusual" finds.
Once again, volunteers pulled a vacuum cleaner that served as a "fish tank," a cash register, and an array of sporting equipment all dumped or lost in the Bay.
Every year, the number of pounds of litter and recycling decreases – a positive sign that people are thinking before they trash our waterways.
"The Bayfront Cleanup is our City's signature community environmental event," said Larry Patterson, Director of Public Works. "We are grateful for all community members who come out with family, friends, and community groups to partner with us on our mission to maintain and care for our coastline and our environment."
Early arrival is encouraged. The day begins with yoga sponsored by Whole Foods Market for volunteers who want to stretch in addition to donating the prizes for each of the "Catch of the Day Contest" winners.
The event culminates with a zero-waste "Volunteer Thank You" BBQ sponsored by the Public Works Department at 11:30 a.m. coupled with DJ music.
Residents can learn more about the event at www.cityofsanmateo.org/bayfrontcleanup.

Every gardener knows that food just tastes better when grow it yourself, and we'll show you how to make the most of all the fresh, healthy produce you bring from your garden to the table. Our garden experts offer tons of great advice for growing herbs, fruits and veggies, plus lots of creative ideas for serving them in a way your entire family will enjoy. We'll even show you how to preserve some of your garden's produce so you can enjoy a taste of summer even in the middle of winter!
Of all the garden fresh produce, cucumbers may be my very favorite.
What could be better than a harvest tart that celebrates your garden bounty?
Come mid-winter, it can be tough to eat directly from the garden in most parts of the world.
A harvest of summer fruits and veggies can be overwhelming…whether from your own garden, or your CSA (community supported agriculture).
Throughout much of the world, it's nearly time to celebrate Mother's Day, and in the U.S., it's always the second Sunday in May.
True Gumbo Confession: Over the last few weeks, I've often wondered whether I was crazy to offer to create a gumbo for Fiskars.
Around our house, we eat from the garden as much as we can. We don't just grow different vegetables, herbs and fruit to eat. We also plant flowers to enjoy in the kitchen too.
Growing up I believed I hated peas.
Come home for Earth Day, and stick around for the healthy harvest.
I love spring bouquets that look a little bit wild — hellebores or daffodils are gorgeous all by themselves, of course, but a few sprigs of cedar among the blooms makes the arrangement richer and more exciting.
Venerable lilac is one of the most recognizable flower forms and fragrances in the garden.
For centuries, folks have known that mint (Menta spp.) is a special herb.
There is something so wonderful about homemade soup.
Planning fun activities to incorporate into your garden plan can help encourage kids who are expected to help in the garden, but aren't in love with gardening, to view it with a more positive attitude.
With a bit of planning among fellow food gardeners, you may be able to develop a seed growing program that reduces costs, workload, and waste while also helping everyone grow diverse and abundant edibles.
Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Here are some ideas for easy favors for the guests at your next garden party.

Bomber brought by Ken, via Peluso.Light brown sugary appearance with a big head. Sugary, oak aroma. Some wood in taste,honey and caramel. a soft mouthfeel, easy drinking but boozy and not a thick mouthfeel. Suitable enough carbonation.Not that rich, but within the style.

Another bottle I've been seeing for a while but never picked up.
Just noticed there is not a word about volume on the bottle. First time I've seen this missing from the info on a bottle. I'm guessing it must be a bit more than a liter (1,1l maybe)
A- Light tan head doesn't last. Lots of bubbles rise through the light cola-like liquid.
S- Smells like wood. Tart red wine. Take a deep breath and I definitely get the alcohol and woody profile of a good whisky. Cinnamon.
T- I sipped this slowly and gave it lots of time to warm up. It really reminds me of whisky. Wood aftertaste.
M- Thin. Fleeting in-mouth carbonation. A bit of red wine-ish astrigency but it's countered by the sweetness.
D- I like drinking this. I had the whole... I don't know how much is in this bottle... and I'd drink more. Having found this in a bar I would probably keep ordering it.
Summary: Pale ale/Wood/Whisky. This isn't really delicious but I enjoy drinking it. It's not cheap but not really expensive either. It reminds me of whisky and I like whisky. Great big pop-top brown bottle to keep for homebrewing.

Tap: Poured a amber color ale with a small foamy head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma of rum is quite strong with some residual sweetness. Taste is also dominated by rum-like notes with some sweetness that verges on gross. I must admit that I was quite surprised by the rum notes and thought there was no noticeable oak. Body is full with good carbonation and no signs of alcohol. Better then expected.

1 litre swingtop bottle. sampled july 1/2010.
pours crystal clear light red with a small pale tan head. the head drops fast and leaves a few spots of lace.
aroma is nice. burnt caramel and toffee. juicy citrus - orange, tangerine, grapefruit. white bread. cracker and a bit of biscuit. light alcohol. vanilla and raw oak.
taste is good. bit of buttery toffee. caramel. whole wheat bread. bit of biscuit. cracker. grapefruit and orange. bit of tangerine. lightly toasted. medium-low bitterness level.
mouthfeel is good. medium-large body. just under medium carbonation level.
drinkability is good. nice balance. bit of barrel character. good depth. a pretty nice barrel-aged beer.

1L bottle into a tulip glass. Bottled in November 2011.
A - Bright copper color with red hues. Small head, dense and creamy but dissipating quickly to leave a collar at the surface which clings nicely to the glass.
S - I pick out grapes and dark fruit. Generous amount of malt. Relatively sweet with a touch of alcohol.
T - Considering the smell, I was expecting a strong taste. At the contrary, it is relatively gentle. The malt, dominant at first, progressively leaves space to hop flavors with a nice herbal, almost grassy, finish.
M - Very smooth and featuring a perfect carbonation.
O - A really good Barleywine, well thought out! Excellent drinkability and balance. A must try!

1 liter swingtop bottle picked up in Montreal a while ago.
Pours a clear reddish orange, some dark amber highlights, thick off white head forms and settles down to a big ring around the glass, drops a ton of lace chunks, sticky looking, not too bad.
Smell is alright, sweet and malty, lots of caramel/toffee sweetness, raisin, brown sugar, bourbon and some solid oakiness, a lot of vanilla, nothing too complex but a neat maltiness.
Taste is similar, sweet up front, lots of caramel and brown sugar, raisin, some light fruit, vanilla, quite woody, bourbon sweetness, very malty through the middle, lightly boozy, finishes a touch on the sweet side.
Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with low to medium carbonation, some warmth going down. Feels a bit thin but overall is not too bad.

I picked this up at Peluso in Montreal because who can resist a huge swingtop bottle of barleywine named after a devil? It pours a mahogany brown with big head. The oak jumps out at you in the smell, so I imagine this must have been oak aged. I get some spiciness too, but the oak dominates a little bit, which I still find delicious. Very malty and sweet. Very smooth mouthfeel.

Bottle from Marche Omni. From notes.
A - Poured dark brown with a very small head. Minimal carbonation. No retention or lace. Bright.
S - Sugars, dark fruits, brown sugar.
T - Sugar, dark fruits, raisin, brown sugar. Dominated by a sugar taste that doesn't really remind one of a tasty beer.
M - Full body, mild carbonation, sweet but not fully cloying finish.
O/D - Just really sweet. The bottle was split between 2 and neither one could finish our glass and there was some left in the bottle. Lacking in that really nice dark fruit malt character. Maybe it needed some age, but it just wasn't complex or flavourful in the ways I expected and wanted.

I've been keeping this 1L bottle in my cellar for the past 8 months. Its a big 10 % ABV Barley wine at its best !
Poured in a snifter after a long night's work, I served this beer at about 57 f. (Cellar temp)
The appearance is all I was hoping for...a clear brownish color with redish reflections, very little foam retention, I guess a Barleywine isint really supposed to have much foam and this probably comes from the aging. There is a few bubbles in the glass tough.
The smell is great, a blast of sugar coted nuts, rich vanilla mixed with grain esters and just by smelling this beer...you know its been aged in oak barrels.
The taste is quite strong, first comes the oak mouthfeel...it may be a little to oaky to be perfect, its like bitting in a piece of wood wich is not that great but then comes the rich grain taste complemented with vanilla and a touch of carbonation on the tongue to keep it fresh. You actually dont feel the 10 % abv when you drink it, but after a glass of El Diablo, it hits you like a knife in the back...Well done Microbrasserie du Lièvre !!
The taste has a very long mouthfeel on Grain and oak, this is a great beer to have amoung friends at the end of a meal.
I am very happy this product comes from one of Québec's flourishing microbreweries.
To drink in moderation
Cheers lads

Hm -- I might be able to show up, but I have no way of getting there, and I also would need to leave by a little after 7 or so, which means that if someone were to offer to drive me there/back it could put restrictions on them as well. So, uncertain.
However, since Arrow deals with social welfare functions which take a profile of preferences as input and outputs a full preference ranking, it really says something about aggregating a set of preferences into a single group preference.
I'm going to nitpick here -- it's possible to write down forms of Arrow's theorem where you do get a single output. Of course, in that case, unlike in the usual formulation, you have to make assumptions about what happens when candidates drop out -- considering what you have as a voting system that yields results for an election among any subset of the candidates, rather than just that particular set of candidates. So it's a less convenient formulation for proving things. Formulated this way, though, the IIA condition actually becomes the thing it's usually paraphrased as -- "If someone other than the winner drops out, the winner stays the same."
Edit: Spelling
Minor nitpick: You mean convex combinations or affine combinations; linear combinations would allow arbitrary numbers of carrots and potatoes.
Good points. Is my intended meaning clear?
I mean, kind of? It's still all pretty mixed-up though. Enough people get consequentialism, expected utility maximization, and utilitarianism mixed up that I really don't think it's a good thing to further confuse them.
Consequentialism. In Yvain's Consequentialism FAQ, he argues that consequentialism follows from the intuitively obvious principles "Morality Lives In The World" and "Others Have Non Zero Value" upon reflection. Rationality seems useful for recognizing that there's a tension between these principles and other common moral intuitions, but this doesn't necessarily translate into a desire to resolve the tension nor a choice to resolve the tension in favor of these principles over others. So it seems that increased rationality does increase the likelihood that one will be a consequentialist, but that it's also not sufficient.
Expected value maximization. In Circular Altruism and elsewhere, Eliezer describes cognitive biases that people employ in scenarios with a probabilistic element, and how reflection can lead one to the notion that one should organize one's altruistic efforts to maximize expected value (in the technical sense), rather than making decisions based on these biases. Here too, rationality seems useful for recognizing that one's intuitions are in conflict because of cognitive biases, without necessarily entailing an inclination to resolve the tension. However, in this case, if one does seek to resolve the tension, the choice of expected value maximization over other alternatives is canonical, so rationality seems to take one further toward expected value maximization than to consequentialism.
This part seems a bit mixed up to me. This is partly because Yvain's Consequentialism FAQ is itself a bit mixed up, often conflating consequentialism with utilitarianism. "Others have nonzero value" really has nothing to do with consequentialism; one can be a consequentialist and be purely selfish, one can be non-consequentialist and be altruistic. "Morality lives in the world" is a pretty good argument for consequentialism all by itself; "others have nonzero value" is just about what type of consequences you should favor.
What's really mixed up here though is the end. When one talks about expected value maximization, one is always talking about the expected value over consequences; if you accept expected value maximization (for moral matters, anyway), you're already a consequentialist. Basically, what you've written is kind of backwards. If, on the other hand, we assume that by "consequentialism" you really meant "utilitarianism" (which, for those who have forgotten, does not mean maximizing expected utility in the sense discussed here but rather something else entirely[0]), then it would make sense; it takes you further towards maximizing expected value (consequentialism) than utilitarianism.
[0]Though it still is a flavor of consequentialism.
I've made no secret of the fact that I'm not a big fan of the principle of charity—often defined as the rule that you should interpret other people's arguments on the assumption that they are not saying anything stupid. The problem with this is that other people are often saying something stupid. Because of that, I think charitable is over-rated compared to fair and accurate reading. When someone says something stupid, you don't have to pretend otherwise, but it's really important not to attribute to people stupid things they never said.
Getting principle of charity right can be hard in general. A common problem is when something can be interpreted as stupid in two different ways; namely, it has an interpretation which is obviously false, and another interpretation which is vacuous or trivial. (E.g.: "People are entirely selfish.") In cases like this, where it's not clear what the charitable reading is, it may just be best to point out what's going on. ("I'm not certain what you mean by that. I see two ways of interpreting your statement, but one is obviously false, and the other is vacuous.") Assuming they don't mean the wrong thing is not the right answer, as if they do, you're sidestepping actual debate. Assuming they don't mean the trivial thing is not the right answer, because sometimes these statements are worth making. Whether a statement is considered trivial or not depends on who you're talking to, and so what statements your interlocutor considers trivial will depend on who they've been talking to and reading. E.g., if they've been hanging around with non-reductionists, they might find it worthwhile to restate the basic principles of reductionism, which here we would consider trivial; and so it's easy to make a mistake and be "charitable" to them by assuming they're arguing for a stronger but incorrect position (like some sort of greedy reductionism). Meanwhile people are using the same words to mean different things because they haven't calibrated abstract words against actual specifics and the debate becomes terribly unproductive.
Really, being explicit about how you're interpreting something if it's not the obvious way is probably best in general. ("I'm going to assume you mean [...], because as written what you said has an obvious error, namely, [...]".) A silent principle of charity doesn't seem very helpful.
But for a helpful principle of charity, I don't think I'd go for anything about what assumptions you should be making. ("Assume the other person is arguing in good faith" is a common one, and this is a good idea, but if you don't already know what it means, it's not concrete enough to be helpful; what does that actually cash out to?) Rather, I'd go for one about what assumptions you shouldn't make. That is to say: If the other person is saying something obviously stupid (or vacuous, or whatever), consider the possibility that you are misinterpreting them. And it would probably be a good idea to ask for clarification. ("Apologies, but it seems to me you're making a statement that's just clearly false, because [...]. Am I misunderstanding you? Perhaps your definition of [...] differs from mine?") Then perhaps you can get down to figuring out where your assumptions differ and where you're using the same words in different ways.
But honestly a lot of the help of the principle of charity may just be to get people to not use the "principle of anti-charity", where you assume your interlocutor means the worst possible (in whatever sense) thing they could possibly mean. Even a bad principle of charity is a huge improvement on that.

We investigated the role of humor in marriage in the U.S., U.K., China, Turkey, and Russia. In the first four societies, husbands were perceived to make wives laugh more than the reverse, but wives were funnier in Russia. Spousal humorousness was less consistently related to spousal intelligence than to three other attributes, namely, kindness, understanding and dependability in a crisis for all of which humor seems to be a significant mediator. That is, humor in most cases mediates the relationship between these variables and marital satisfaction. We speculate that spouses use humor to gauge mood of the partner and to engender liking, perhaps especially in courtship and marriage. The greater humor production of husbands than wives may merely reflect the generally greater humorousness of males even in childhood, which in turn may reflect greater male competitiveness for social recognition.


text: Christopher D. MerrettThe important debates about climate change and poverty reduction usually occur in separate policy spheres. This compelling book argues that the impacts of climate change and poverty are increasingly interconnected. I highly recommend this timely and well-written volume because it shows how poverty alleviation and equitable growth can occur in the face of climate change—if policy makers are willing to address climate change and economic development in a holistic manner.

What's past is prologue
|This article possibly contains original research. (February 2014)
"What's past is prologue" is a quotation by William Shakespeare from his play The Tempest.
Contemporary meaning[edit]
The phrase means that history influences and sets the context for the present. The quotation is engraved on the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C.[1]
Senator Joe Biden used the quotation in the 2008 vice-presidential debate against Sarah Palin when he was accused of focusing too much on the past.[2] The phrase is also commonly used by the military when discussing the similarities between war throughout history.[3][4]
Historical meaning[edit]
Although the phrase is now commonly used to mean what's stated above, as the phrase was originally used in The Tempest, Act 2, Scene I, it means that all that has happened before that time, the "past," has led Antonio and Sebastian to this opportunity to do what they are about to do, commit murder. In the context of the preceding and next lines, "(And by that destiny) to perform an act, Whereof what's past is prologue; what to come, In yours and my discharge" Antonio is in essence rationalizing to Sebastian, and the audience, that he and Sebastian are fated to act by all that has led up to that moment, the past has set the stage for their next act, as a prologue does in a play. Therefore, this phrase might be better used in situations where people are attempting to rationalize wicked acts based on the past. It can also be taken to mean that everything up until now has merely set the stage for Antonio and Sebastian to make their own destinies; in this context it does not indicate that their future acts are fated, but rather that everything up to that point was merely like a prologue, not the important story.
In popular culture[edit]
- "The Past Is Prologue" is the title of a 1967 episode of the TV series Ironside featuring a young Harrison Ford.[5]
- A portion of the phrase, "Past is Prologue," is the title of episode 11, season 1 of Syfy's original television show Defiance.
- The phrase appears in Continuum.
- The phrase appears as text at the conclusion of Oliver Stone's film JFK.
- The phrase is used as an epigraph for Zadie Smith's novel White Teeth, and relates to one of the large themes of the book.
- The phrase is the name of the musician Tycho's second album.
- A slightly modified part of the phrase is used as the title of the comic book Robotech Zero : What's Past is Prelude by Academy Comics.
- The phrase was used in a commercial for the video game Metroid Other M, indicating it was a prequel to the 2003 title Metroid Fusion because the events of the game explained what happened to Adam Malkovich, Samus Aran's former CO.
- "What's Past, Is Prologue" is a title from the Built on Secrets' album "Reflection".

Having the Moon in your financial sector as you move into the new week will always be an advantage, ensuring your financial instincts are sharp and you have your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground from the get go, but even more so this time. For as the Moon's last visit to your financial sector before Mars, warrior planet of the cosmos leaves later next week and before the real job of bringing things home begins, this is a chance to get right to the heart of what you're fighting for. With your financial instincts, passions and fighting spirit on the same page this is a chance to redefine your financial priorities, with knowing what you're fighting for and what's required of you half the battle. It's time to take your power back.
With no planetary activity in either of your two money houses the Moon's monthly visit to your financial sector this week was always going to be important, but especially so because of the timing. With no planetary activity in your financial sector since late last year and none expected until the Sun returns in November, the Moon's monthly visits provide a chance to tap into your financial instincts, check that you're on track and to take care of any financial housekeeping. Yet by the time the Moon returns on Tuesday Mars, warrior planet of the cosmos is just 12 days away, with his first visit since 2012 showing up on your radar, along with a sense of just how game changing this will be. This makes it important to keep your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground midweek.
Things are looking up for Pluto and your financial situation and money matters, even if it appears that nothing is happening or moving. At this point, all you need is the financial confidence the money gods are evoking, with the more you try to over think things the more likely you are to doubt yourself. Instead, with Pluto moving into his final 3 weeks in retrograde motion in your financial sector on Tuesday and the Moon returning on Thursday for one last visit while the focus is still on the past, you're moving into an important review phase. With Pluto's 20/20 hindsight and a growing sense of financial confidence, this is a chance to look back at what was a challenging first half of the year and not only learn from the past, but see how you can benefit from it.
Due to leave your income sector on Saturday Venus, planet of money and attraction is making her final days with lucky Jupiter count, knowing it's up to her to leave you with the desires and expectations and confidence that will underpin everything that transpires over the coming year. With lucky Jupiter not leaving your income sector until August 2015, support from Uranus in your career sector throughout that time and new doors opening on the work front later next week, it's no wonder you're starting to feel a lot more confident, both financially and professionally. This is when you need to be wary of old doubts creeping in or a tendency to over think things. Instead, the money gods would much prefer you practice wishful thinking, for the key to your success is believing in yourself.
While there is likely to be a lot less financial tension this week, this is more a ceasefire between the money gods, due to come back into combat during next week's Full Moon in your financial sector. In the meantime, this is a chance to focus more on income matters this week, where you have a changing of the guard. Until Mercury leaves your income sector on Tuesday it's about working with his smart head for money, keeping your head in the game and working with the Sun to keep things real, focusing on getting as many options on the table as possible. Mercury's departure will give you a chance to spend a few days with the Sun exploring all your options, before Venus' return on Tuesday not only raises the bar on your desires and expectations, but triggers the laws of attraction.
The money gods have had a chance to shift their focus back to money matters as a whole, after Mars and Ceres' epic visits to your income sector ended in early August. However, that's about to change, with Mercury's return to your income sector on Tuesday marking the start of a new wave, one that comes without the financial challenges and tensions of the past, yet is able to build onto the glass ceilings this managed to shatter. Mars spent nearly 8 months in your income sector between December 2013 and July 2014, his longest visit in 32 years and it is the barriers he's smashed through that Mercury and his smart head for money allows you to exploit. Between now and the end of November lie some of the most lucrative weeks of the year, along with the experience to pick your battles wisely.
Moving into any week with the Moon in your income sector is always going to be an advantage, ensuring you have a nose for money, your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground from the get go. Yet as the Moon's last visit before Mars leaves later next week, this is a chance to tap into your warrior spirit, a chance to redefine what you're fighting for and most importantly, recognise where you need to take responsibility. It's the Moon's alignment with Saturn, before leaving on Tuesday that puts the onus back onto you, reminding you that while the money gods can help you accomplish a lot, that they can only meet you half way. With Mars, warrior planet of the cosmos not returning to your income sector until 2015, the time to take a sledgehammer to any remaining glass ceilings is now.
With no activity in either of your money houses and none in your income sector since late last year, the Moon's monthly visits have become a lot more important, especially with so much unfolding professionally. For that reason alone, the Moon's return to your income sector from Monday to Thursday, coming in Venus' final days in your career sector, is a chance to get a better sense of where the money is, at a defining point in your professional year. However, as a nose for money kicks in don't be surprised if this comes with a ludicrous amount of confidence, boarding on wishful thinking and delusion. For just 10 days after the Moon leaves your income sector Mars will return for his first visit since 2012, bringing a very real chance to smash some glass ceilings.
Even without the developments taking shape on the career front you would be feeling a lot more confident, especially when it comes to income matters. This is despite the fact that there is unlikely to be any movement and it may even appear that things have become stuck or that pay matters are stalled, because they most likely are. Yet this is buying you some valuable time, both to get your professional ducks in a row and to wait for the tide to turn. Most of the financial confidence is coming from the fact that with a financial update over you're able to focus on income matters, with the financial tension of the past is gone. The Moon's return to your income sector on Thursday will ensure you have a nose for money as Venus returns to your career sector on Saturday.
Due to leave your financial sector on Saturday Venus, planet of beauty is pulling out all the stops to make her final days count, knowing that it's the financial desires and expectations she leaves you with that will underpin the extraordinary journey ahead. With the Sun and Mercury having already moved through your financial sector and your annual financial review over, Venus' departure over the weekend should be bringing all the planetary activity for the year to a close. Instead, this is just the end of the push to get things started and with lucky Jupiter staying on until August 2015, your luckiest year for financial and money matters is yet to really begin. The financial desires and expectations Venus leaves you with are crucial, with a need to err on the side of wishful thinking.
While the financial tension eases back this week this has already proved a blessing. As the Sun and Mercury move through your financial sector during your annual financial update, they're putting pressure on income forces that would normally be asleep at the wheel at this time of year. Instead, they're very active and the timing couldn't be better, as you move into some of the most important professional weeks of the year. The money gods however are putting more focus on financial and money matters this week, urging you to work with Mercury in his final hours in your financial sector, holding onto the smart head for money he leaves you with, when he leaves on Tuesday. Venus' return over the weekend will boost your financial confidence and trigger the laws of attraction.
Just when you're getting used to being able to shift a lot of your focus to income matters, with money matters having taken a back seat in early August, they come back into place this week, but in a far less menacing way. Where in the past a contest between income and financial forces created a lot of financial tension, that's no longer the case and over recent weeks you've not only gained a lot more confidence on the income front, but some real leverage. With your professional star on the rise and clues this week to even more doors due to open over the coming weeks, income forces are too robust to be bothered by Mercury's return to your financial sector on Tuesday. With your annual financial review still 3 weeks away this is a chance to get your head in the game.

While Andy Oliver's future is fantastic, Tuesday wasn't shabby either for the Erie SeaWolves left-hander.
The Detroit Tigers announced that Oliver, a second-round pick in the 2009 amateur draft, will make his major league debut against the Atlanta Braves on Friday. The Vermilion, Ohio, native will fill the spot in Detroit's starting rotation vacated by Rick Porcello's recall to Triple-A Toledo.
Oliver, 22, will start for the Tigers when they face the Braves at Turner Field. The former Oklahoma State star ascended to the parent club in his first season of professional baseball.
"It's something I've always worked and strived to do," Oliver said after charting pitches during Tuesday's doubleheader. "For this to come true is awesome."
The same day Oliver learned he was promoted to the Tigers, he also learned he was chosen for the XM Futures Game at Anaheim, Calif. Oliver and former SeaWolves outfielder Wilkin Ramirez were chosen to represent Detroit in the game, which will take place July 11.
Ramirez began the 2010 season with Erie before his promotion to Triple-A Toledo.
In 14 starts for Erie, Oliver has a 6-4 record with a 3.61 earned-run average in 771/3 innings. His 70 strikeouts are second in the league to Trenton Thunder right-hander David Phelps (77).
Oliver never fathomed his quest to wear a major league uniform would happen so quickly.
"The biggest thing, though, was I didn't focus on that," he said. "All I tried to do (with Erie) is go out there and work on my stuff. The rest would take care of itself."
