Oded Na'Aman, a bespectacled 26-year-old in a brown corduroy blazer with the collar turned up towards a dark brown quiff, is telling an audience at Martha's Vineyard Hebrew Centre about scaring people half to death.
"I told bad jokes and good jokes and they laughed just the same," he says, "or they stood there shivering. Sometimes they would spontaneously apologize, just because they thought I might be displeased about something."
The veteran soldier, who is touring parts of the U.S. as a member of Breaking The Silence — a group of Israeli soldiers giving personal testimonies on Israel's mandatory three-year military service — preceded his talk Monday night with a 15-minute video. In the video, a handful of young soldiers discuss the importance of maintaining a climate of fear as they herd crowds of Palestinian would-be commuters at a West Bank checkpoint.
"Why are they disciplined?" asks a soldier in the video, addressing the camera. "Because they're scared. Wouldn't you be?"
The young Israelis who, though armed, are massively outnumbered at the checkpoints, admit to nearly constant nerves themselves. Footage of physical abuse in the video led to the arrest of several soldiers.
"I was constantly trying to be nice, which was ridiculous," says Mr. Na'Aman, explaining how he struggled to maintain his sense of morality while carrying out duties which he felt meant abandoning his concern for others.
"Even a smile is a sign that they're not scared of you," he says, "and you're not doing your job if you don't punish them." In the pursuit of the intimidation of Palestinian residents, he explains, the best punishments were often the most creative. "A fellow soldier told me that instead of a beating, he lined some people up one night and made them sing for him. It was effective."
Mr. Na'Aman was here just for the night on Monday. He would take an early ferry off-Island to visit Brown University in the morning. The student is considering several U.S. colleges for a graduate course in philosophy, which he hopes to start in the fall.
He joined Breaking the Silence in 2005, a few months after the organization was established with a cause, described on their Web site, hovrimshtika.org, as "collecting the testimonies of soldiers who witness or participate in military actions which change them immensely."
Mr. Na'Aman says the organization has encountered resistance from some within their country who claim their testimony represents a few bad apples and that, so long as a moral code is adhered to, military service in the West Bank and elsewhere should not lead to these incidences.
According to the speaker though, these moral red lines quickly become invisible.
"You get used to almost anything seeing everyone through the scope of your gun," he says. "After three nights it is like a video game — it would be for all of us."
He insists that he and his colleagues are patriotic soldiers with dual priorities: the security of their country's borders and the security of its conscience. "The army denies this stuff but they should say, 'This is what happens. If you have a problem with it, it's your problem,'" he says. "Society should not ignore it."
The budding operation has recently expanded to include talks such as Mr. Na'Aman's; exhibitions of soldier photography within Israel; and, in the past few months, weekly tours of Hebron, a volatile area made up of about 800 Jewish settlers and some 200,000 Palestinians.
As Mr. Na'Aman explains, expanding the talks to America is an important step. "Top to bottom, gun to helmet, everything I owned as a soldier was made in the U.S.," he says. "This country in general has huge power over what's going on there."
Audience member Doron Katzman, a Vineyarder born in Israel, remembers a very different scenario when he served as an 18-year-old in 1974. "I was manning an anti-aircraft gun when we were still at war with Egypt, and there was a feeling you could be invaded at any time," he says. "It was part of growing up. You didn't question it. Now there's occupation, there's no other word for it. Would I serve now? I don't know. It's a good question."
Perching on an audience seat after the talk, tonight's speaker sums up the confusing dilemma he faced as a modern-day soldier. "The thing is, you can be gentle and sensitive and be cruel at the same time," he says. "Just by standing there with a gun. I'm not cruel ... I mean, I try not to be cruel. But you have to be cruel, it's your job."

Spotlight on Decriminalization
Reducing arrests and penalties for marijuana possession should be the major priority of the cannabis reform movement. Laws and public policies that reduce penalties for marijuana possession help all cannabis users, and in many states reform on possession laws can have a major impact on reducing the threat of arrest and prosecution of medical patients.
Advocates of reform are diligently building public support for cannabis-related legislation in 14 states, however there is only legislation pending in 5 states to reduce penalties for all marijuana users, with most of the rest of the attention focused on attempts to protect medical cannabis patients.
Supporters of marijuana reform, though, should not have to choose between medical cannabis and reform measures that affect the wider community of cannabis consumers. Only 2 of these 14 states (Massachusetts and Texas) have pending legislation in both areas – medical cannabis and marijuana's decriminalization. Some believe that it will be easier to pass medical cannabis reform than decrim, and that medical cannabis reform can serve as a building block for later reductions in penalties for all marijuana offenses. The problem with this approach is two-fold. First, these are two distinct issues that really have very little to do with each other. It hurts the interests of medical patients for others to use medical cannabis reform as a stalking horse for wider decriminalization. Second, it ignores the interests of the larger population of cannabis users as well as those of medical cannabis patients.
The remedy to the imbalance between the emphasis on medical cannabis and efforts to reduce all cannabis arrests and penalties is simple. First of all, it is just unacceptable, ethically, to do any less regarding the medical cannabis issue, indeed far more needs to be done. And that is the remedy to the challenge of reforming all marijuana laws. More needs to be done to advance the interests of all marijuana consumers, and more attention needs to be devoted to advancing the public interest in further decriminalization of marijuana under state and local law. With that in mind, the present batch of marijuana decriminalization proposals before state legislatures deserve both attention and support from everyone interested in marijuana reform, regardless of where they live.
In early 2005 marijuana decriminalization bills have been introduced in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Texas, Vermont, and Wisconsin.
In Massachusetts Senate Bill 1151 seeks to make possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana a civil offense punishable by a fine of $100 rather than the current penalty structure that allows a sentence of up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $500.
Wisconsin is considering Assembly Bill 255 which replaces a penalty of up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000 for marijuana possession with just a fine of up to $1,000 for possession of 25 grams of marijuana or less. By changing marijuana possession from a misdemeanor to a civil offense Wisconsin would not have to appoint public defenders for these simple marijuana possession cases, saving the state additional funds.
New Hampshire is examining House Bill 197, a proposal that will replace the current penalty for possession of marijuana of up to a year in jail and up to a $2,000 fine with a civil fine of up to $50 for possession of less than 25 grams of marijuana. The New Hampshire bill also provides for a temporary revocation of the defendant's driver's license.
In Texas Senate Bill 254 proposes to make the possession of 1 ounce of marijuana or less a criminal offense subject to a fine up to $500, which would replace the current penalty of up to 180 days in jail and up to a $2,000 fine. Senate Bill 254 would also eliminate provisions in current law that would suspend the driver's license for conviction of possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana. Federal law restricts the amount of federal highway funds available to states that do not suspend driver's licenses in response to drug-related offenses, and the Texas legislature estimates that SB 254 could cost the state up to $199.4 million in federal highway funds.
One of the most interesting attempts to reform state marijuana laws has been introduced in Vermont, where House Bill 390 proposes to eliminate all penalties for marijuana possession by adults in non-public places and seeks to establish a legal regulatory system that will provide tax revenue for the state. Currently possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana in Vermont is punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $500 for first offenders. A second offense is punishable by 2 years incarceration and a fine of up to $2,000.
All of these bills would benefit marijuana consumers. Perhaps just as important is the opportunity each of these bills presents to stimulate debate over marijuana laws in these and other states, particularly debate of the costs and benefits (if any) of existing marijuana laws.
In an article summarizing the history of marijuana decriminalization laws in the 1970s prepared for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), Joseph Galliher of the University of Missouri-Columbia concluded that "perhaps the best explanation of the failure of other American states to pass decriminalization legislation is that [in] much of the nation there exists de-facto decriminalization, where punitive penalties remain on the books but are seldom enforced."
Each of these new reform proposals provides an opportunity to move state penalties closer to actual state and local level enforcement practices. It is in these venues that reform is trial, and it is in these venues that the ability of reform organizations to represent the interests of all marijuana users will be under scrutiny, by both marijuana users and opponents of marijuana reform as well.
These existing proposals highlight many of the complex issues faced by cannabis reform advocates. It is easy to criticize a legislative proposal by focusing on a single provision, such as a fine, or sentence, or even the amount of marijuana it concerns. However legislative proposals are packages designed to address complex concerns of numerous political, social, and legal interests. All of these proposals provide significant reforms, they all improve the treatment of marijuana consumers under their respective state laws, and they all provide the citizens of these states with criminal justice savings.
State and Local Government on the Web is a directory of official state, county, and local government websites that provides access to every state legislative website in the United States. The websites of state legislatures provide access to the texts of bills before the legislatures, information on their status and history, advance notice of committee hearings, and access to legislative reports such as fiscal impact statements. Perhaps most importantly these websites will provide local citizens with contact information for their representatives in the state legislature.
Use the State Legislatures website to learn more about these and other cannabis-related proposals. If there is a cannabis proposal in your state legislature, let your representatives know what you think of the bills and that you will be involved in the legislative process. Otherwise, use this opportunity to learn more about these decriminalization proposals, start to learn more about your own state legislature, and share news of these current decriminalization proposals with members of your own state legislature. Only the persistent involvement of concerned citizens will make the reduction of arrests and penalties for marijuana possession a major priority, a priority not only for the cannabis reform movement, but one for the general public as well.

"Great accommodation"
I stayed here with three young kids and have to say that everything was excellent. The apartment is very clean and tidy, spacious and has a good balcony with BBQ. There is a well equipped kitchen, a washing machine, two bathrooms and a good sized living area. There is a very good hi-fi which has an iPod dock, big TV, a Playstation and they were in the middle of installing broadband when we were there. Bring a few travel plugs and you're sorted really.
We had access to two swimming pools, one is about a minutes walk away and the other about two minutes walk away, my kids loved them. They are really clean and convenient.
The area itself is pretty relaxed, there weren't any really loud parties going on late into the night or anything like that. A short walk down the hill brings you to a small shopping area that has a supermarket (small but big enough to have a meat counter), a chinese, a really good Indian, an English pub and a couple of other restaurants. A short walk beyond them through the underpass is the beach which is very wide and has plenty of space. There are a couple of really good examples of those beachside bars as soon as you get there (el Bombo beach I think it's called) which do really good food, especially sea food, and serve cold drinks while the kids play in the sea and sand. My girlfriend had to be dragged away from the sardines in one of them.
Apparently there are loads of other beaches very close by and there is plenty to do all along that area of the coast. Fuengirola is just along the way and if you don't have a car it's cheap to get there in a taxi and then on to Malaga on the train. If you do have a car then there is a secure place to park it under the apartment, remember to press both buttons on the remote to make the door work.
All in all a great place to take the kids for a week. You could just veg by the pool or on the beach or easily travel a bit further afield for the waterparks or shopping in Fuengirola or Malaga.
Thank you for your lovely review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back one day! Gill

The Landing on Layton likes to boast that they?re so great that the state built an airport next to them. Regardless of why it actually happened, the restaurant is a haven for casual nights out in the shadow of small planes. Gaggles of friends settle onto red and wooden barstools or surround tables to grab slices of pizza or dive into beer-side nibbles of sour cream and chive fries. Along the walls, pinball machines, a foosball table, and video arcade games fire up healthy competition as the occasional live band croons from a small stage in the corner. Guests match wits during Monday-night trivia, and feast at the Friday-night fish fry?a great way to entertain visiting relatives or pet grizzly bears.
Originally built as a Schlitz bar more than a century ago, Upper 90 Sports Pub maintains the links to its storied history by pouring drinks in front of the original stained glass that still adorns the old saloon's back bar. Now showcasing Milwaukee's transformation to a modern city inspired by local teams, Upper 90 Sports Pub takes a twist on the classic German eats with a full menu of gastropub fare artfully presented to its sports-centric clients every day of the week.
Upper 90 incorporates local favorites, such as Usinger?s sausages or Nueske's bacon, into flavorful spins on traditional cuisine, creating dishes such as battered and fried corn dogs served with Guinness mustard and raspberry balsamic ketchup or bacon-stuffed Angus burgers flavored with cheddar cheese and rosemary aioli. The restaurant opens its doors early on select game days or if threatened by early-rising big bad wolves, feeding just-woken bellies with its Saturday breakfast, followed by appetizer fare featuring the unique flavors of fried alligator and Milwaukee's biggest pretzel. While sitting under vintage sports equipment and memorabilia, guests can sip on the pours of a range of craft brews, including drafts from local breweries such as Lakefront, New Glarus, and Sprecher.
On Saturday afternoons, dogs stretch out on Vino 100's sun-drenched patio as their owners clink glasses over their heads. So goes Yappy Hour, one of the many weekly gatherings that further Vino 100's mission to foster a casual, accessible community of oenophiles. The shop also hosts live music on Saturday nights, as well as tastings and classes that delve into topics such as german wines and comedic timing for effective spit-takes. The wine experts are happy to guide customers through ample selections of wines, which they categorize by flavor and body for simplified browsing. In addition to wine, the shop's shelves carry more than 50 seasonal beers and specialty cheeses and snacks for practicing newly gained pairing skills.
In 1999, Dave Sobelman was serving burgers and pitchers of beer to blue collar workers in the rough and rugged Menomonee Valley. With the checks he cashed on weekends from the humble factory workers he began ordering some of the finest ingredients for this burgers - locally baked country-butter rolls and the best beef available.
Then one day, Dave walked out of his burger bar and saw a newspaper stand for the Shepherd Express. The cover story highlighted the Top 5 "Pub Grub" locations in Milwaukee and Dave's did not make the list. This omission was a turning point in Sobelman's history.
After seeing the article, Dave called the author of the story and invited him over for a burger. The local writer came into Sobelman's the next day and sat at the bar, ordered a PLAIN burger, and a beer. That very next week, Dave Sobelman had his own feature article on the front page of the Shepherd Express praising the burgers at Sobelman's Pub and Grill as the absolute best in Milwaukee.
Dave became wild with the possibility of fame after seeing his name and acclaimed burger in print. So with the help of this wife - Melanie - Dave began placing his energies into continuously providing the most quality ingredients and best tasting menu he could create for the public - and of course this menu included drinks. Dave's location is after all, a storied Schlitz tavern.
It's really not what's inside the glass that makes Sobelman's Pub and Grill's signature bloody mary stand out. The drink, or "Bloody Masterpiece" as it's affectionally called (not to be confused with the "Baconado" or "Crown Mary"), arrives with 13 garnishes. Brussels sprouts, celery, sausage, cheese, and even a cheeseburger slider stick out of the drink like an edible bouquet. The creative drink has garnered many fans, not to mention a feature on Good Morning America.
That slider garnish serves as an introduction to Sobelman's menu. The husband-and-wife team will proudly tell you that they have always had the best burgers in Milwaukee, and they back up the claim with a 2013 Readers' Choice Award from Milwaukee Magazine and three other local Best Burger Awards in the last 3 plus years. Each Certified Prime Black Angus patty is sandwiched between a fresh baked country-butter roll and rests beneath toppings such as homemade chili, diced jalapeño, or The Piggyback's pork belly, which comes drizzled in bourbon sauce. These burgers have often been imitated around the city, but never duplicated. Aside from burgers, the cooks craft chicken cordon bleu sandwiches and host a Friday fish fry with beer-battered cod.
Despite the creativity shown on the menu, Sobelman's Pub and Grill's original location on St. Paul Avenue has a timeless element. The Sobelmans make great use of their building and they've kept original Schlitz tavern elements such as beer-barrel tables and strict adherence to the law of gravity in the revived Menomonee Valley neighborhood. Simply put, Sobelman's Pub and Grill is Classic Milwaukee.

In 2012, Man v. Food called in Jeremy Wheeler, one of their most trusted competitors, to take on Red Rock Saloon's Unforgiven challenge. As he sidled up to the table, a gravity-defying meal towered before him: atop a pound of French fries sat a fried chicken breast buried between two half-pound bacon cheeseburgers. Encircling the meaty monolith were six ghost-chili chicken wings—and he only had 23 minutes to eat it all. Though it took him until the very last second, Jeremy defeated the meal, becoming only the second person in Red Rock's history to do so.
It's fitting that Red Rock would dream up a challenge most patrons can't win—the restaurant is named after a real-life rodeo bull that famously bucked more than 300 riders. When patrons aren't lining up to ride the mechanical version of Red Rock or listening to live rock and country music, they're crowding around tables to order from a menu that boasts 2012 Chili Bowl champion Texas red chili. Like Oprah's address book, the rest of the menu reads like a scrapbook of American pop culture: seasoned chicken crowns the James Dean salad, molasses barbecue sauce sweetens KC Jones wings, and pineapple and jalapeños pile atop a Will Kane pulled-pork sandwich.

E. Guigal Ex Voto Rouge 2001
E. Guigal - Rhone Valley - France - Crozes Hermitage
There continues to be much debate surrounding the name of the Shiraz/Syrah grape varietal, with many experts still quite unsure which came first. Indeed, even the origins of this varietal are more or less unknown, despite it being most commonly associated with the Rhone Valley of France, and New World countries, most notably Australia. However, its popularity and unique characteristics have seen it planted all over the world, where it continues to impress with its powerful flavors and wonderfully spicy notes of pepper and clove. Shiraz/Syrah wines are renowned also for their versatility, and are regularly used in single variety still and sparkling wines, as well as blended and oak aged wines which demonstrate its ability to express its terroir and secondary flavors very well.
In southern France, one of the primary wine regions responsible for the production of a fine and varied range of wines is the Rhone Valley. Split into two large sub-regions, this expansive valley benefits from micro-climates which allow the wineries to grow a vast array of fine grape varietals. The northern region is the more limited one in regards to the amount of varietals grown, focusing predominantly on raising excellent quality Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier vines for their distinctive and elegant range of wines. The southern region, on the other hand, has a beautifully Mediterranean climate, and is home to dozens of grape varietals which are used to produce white, red and rosé wines, alongside some of the most famous and widely loved blended wines in the world.
Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.

This alternative history of the Fab Four is essential reading for anyone who loves their work." Peter Doggett, author of The Art and Music of John Lennon

An entire section is dedicated to covering Beatles bootlegs, Beatles songs recorded by other artists in the 1960s, and never-recorded material. Lastly, the book includes rare stills from film footage of the group that hasn't been made commercially available.

History of St. Petersburg Museum
Rimsky-Korsakov Apartment Museum
By Josh Cohen
Published: March 24, 2014 (Issue # 1802)
In the wake of President Vladimir Putin's decision to annex Crimea, there is much talk in the West that Russia must pay a serious price. But the discussion of how to "punish" Russia largely overlooks the fact that Moscow would retaliate with penalties of its own if the West imposed sanctions on Russia.
Above all, Russia can use the gas weapon against Ukraine, which would cripple the Ukrainian economy and as well as cause widespread disruption across Europe.
In 2009, when Moscow shut down all gas deliveries to Ukraine, the disruption resulted in substantial shortages and rises in gas prices throughout Europe. Europe still imports 30 percent of its gas from Russia, and several Eastern European countries are close to 100 percent reliant on Russia.
A number of European countries are suffering severe economic problems, and as a whole European economies have performed significantly worse than that of the U.S. Therefore, a cutoff of Russian gas might well throw Europe back into a full recession.
In the Middle East, Russia could also significantly disrupt the P5+1 negotiations with Iran over Tehran's nuclear program. Putin could decide to move forward with the supply of advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to Iran, or take concrete steps to assist Tehran's desire to build a second nuclear power plant.
Putin also possesses a "swing vote" in the Syrian crisis, and if he decides to double down on his support for Syrian President Bashar Assad, any chance for a cease-fire in Syria could be wrecked.
Afghanistan is another theater where Putin could strike a blow against Western — primarily U.S. — interests. The northern route that U.S forces use to ship equipment in and out of Afghanistan runs through Russia. Putin could shut this down at any time, thereby greatly complicating the withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Afghanistan.
Finally, Putin could ratchet up tensions in other states with substantial ethnic Russian populations, such as Estonia and Latvia. Last week, Moscow sent shudders through Estonia by complaining that its policy requiring its Russian population to speak Estonian was comparable to Ukraine's policy of limiting the use of Russian.
While Russia may no longer have the superpower status of the former Soviet Union, when it comes to sanctions Putin has plenty of cards of his own to play.

An airline always has to evaluate how to operate their aircraft to the optimal extend. Since we are limited in amount of aircraft and the demand for EZE as a single destination is not fulfilling the needs, it is not planned currently to operate a direct service. It is rather optimal to have our partner airlines who offer also a high standard to their passengers (to GRU with LX or via FRA direct to EZE).

I hope I could help you.

The city of Lawrence dedicated Friday a Canal Street bridge in memory of a soldier who was captured and murdered in Iraq.
Sgt. Alex Jimenez and two other Americans were ambushed by terrorists in 2007. Their bodies were recovered 14 months later.
Andrew Jimenez, the soldier's father, cried as the plague honoring his son was unveiled.
"I am happy and sad because the name of Alex will be on the bridge forever," he said.
"He gave his life for his country doing what he wanted to do," said Andrew Jimenez Jr., the soldier's brother.

HOUSTON (CBS Houston) Houston police homicide investigators are seeking the public's help in identifying the suspects in connection with two related fatal shootings.
Authorities stated that ballistics evidence collected at both crime scenes indicated the same gun was used in the killings of John S. Martinez, 45, on October 13 and Criss Gerald Knight, 50, on November 8.
Officials with HPD offered additional details: "Grieving members of the Knight and Martinez families joined HPD homicide investigators at a news conference [Tuesday] in urging anyone with information on the identity of the suspect(s) responsible to contact Crime Stoppers and be eligible for a reward up to $5,000 in each case. After visiting his brother, Mr. Martinez returned to his home at 7055 Ashburn about 10:05 p.m. He parked his truck in his driveway and was walking to his front door when he was confronted by three unknown males. He was then shot and robbed. The suspects sped away in an unknown vehicle. Mr. Knight was driving his Ford F-250 pickup truck when his path was blocked by an unknown vehicle at the intersection of Duane at Clover. It is believed a passenger in Knight's truck got out of the vehicle, walked in front of it and then shot Knight. Witnesses said the shooter got into an unknown vehicle, possibly a black pickup truck, and fled. Knight's truck continued north on Duane, went through a fence, struck two parked cars and then stopped in the front yard of a residence at 8935 Duane."
Anyone with information about this case is being urged to call the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

FL tells 'navigators' to stay away from county health departments
The Miami Herald, September 12, 2013
The outreach workers known as navigators won't be allowed to help people sign up for health insurance on the grounds of county health departments, according to a memo from the Florida Department of Health. The order from Deputy Health Secretary C. Meade Grigg went out late Monday to the 60 local health department directors across the state. Grigg declined to comment on the directive. But health department spokeswoman Ashley Carr said there was a need for "clarity" and "a consistent message" across the agency.

Robert Redford's exceptionally handsome and provocative Quiz Show manages a trick that few films even dare try -- to take a hard look at personal and public moral issues and still provide dazzling entertainment.
A supremely elegant and thoughtful parable. [14 September 1994, p. C11]
Working from a superb script by Paul Attanasio, Redford has caught the way a show like Twenty-One offered a carny-barker version of the American Dream.
One of those rare films that manages to be both terrifically entertaining and consistently thoughtful, it turns an apparently tame deception into a very rich metaphor.
One of the reasons that Quiz Show is so extraordinary is because it spins a story as compelling on the personal level as on the national one.
The picture's real strength is its witty, vigorous evocation of the fifties media world.

Feb 12, 2014A very well created fresco of this behind the scenes film. It caches in a brilliant way how mass media, this giant agent of socialization manipulates people. It just gives them what they want to see, keeping them away from the real problems of life. Even one of the greatest intellectual figures of that time is trapped in this game, giving us a great example of the strength that surrounds the men we cannot see. They are simply there, playing with the weakness of the human being, turning it in their favour.… Expand
Nov 28, 2012"Quiz Show" is a 1994 Best Picture Nominated film directed by Robert Redford. The film tells the true story of a Congressional investigator (Rob Morrow) who is soon wrapped up in a web of conspiracy surrounding a popular game show called "Twenty One". Now, the plot of the movie has always been something of interest to me because I always love a good quiz show now and then. The thought of a quiz show being rigged has entered my mind on occasion, and this film properly explores that subject in depth. One of the greatest aspects of this film is its performances from Ralph Fiennes and John Turturro. Turturro's character is the man who is told to "take a dive" because he is not as aesthetically pleasing as Fiennes' character, and their performances really help draw a line of contrast between the two of them. Rob Morrow also did a very good job in the film's leading role. The Academy-Award Nominated script is also something I found to be very well executed as well. There's some fairly memorable, compelling, and even at times amusing dialogue all throughout this screenplay and I truly enjoyed watching this story unfold on screen. Robert Redford's Directorial work really shines in his fourth film - he's proven himself to be a jack-of-all-trades. The movie also does an astounding job of exploring just how pivotal TV was to the American population during the 1950s.

---- — PELHAM — Police are making progress in their investigation of an incident that left "a significant amount of blood" outside a Marsh Road residence over the weekend.
"We have a lead on the persons involved," Lt. Brian McCarthy said.
Police did not announce any arrests or release details.
McCarthy expressed hope police would be able to do so soon.
They have said there is no danger to the public.
They appealed for the public's help Sunday after a family found the blood outside their home.
An argument in the middle of the night preceded the family's discovery of the blood the next morning, according to police.
Police received the report about the blood about 8:45 a.m. Sunday. It came from a residence near the intersection of Marsh and Mammoth Roads.
The argument is believed to have happened about 2 a.m. and did not involve the homeowners.
The intersection is close to the Massachusetts line. Mammoth Road is Route 128 and crosses into Dracut.
"The Pelham police are looking for any information regarding what took place in the area of 199 Marsh Road," the department said in a press release. "At this point, the preliminary investigation has led the police to believe that there was a verbal dispute that had taken place at approximately 2 a.m. in that vicinity."
Police weren't notified at the time of the argument, so they did not respond then.
It's unclear based on the information police have released so far whether someone was injured in the neighborhood or came there from somewhere else with injuries.
Anyone with information is asked to call Sgt. Anne Perriello or Officer Brian Barbato at 635-2411.

Wow. This is the one I have been wanting for a while.
Have you ever had the taste for a certain type of beer, but you weren't sure where to find it? Nothing you have had previously was quite the one you were looking for. You had a pretty damn good idea what flavors you were craving, but just couldn't fill the void of taste that you were experiencing. That's been me for about two weeks. Not anymore. I found it!
This gem of a brew pours a nice golden yellow color with just the slightest bit of haze. Big, fluffy white head rises above the lip of the glass. Not much lacing, but that's ok. Lots of bubbles racing to the surface.
The aroma is filled with banana, clove, pepper, and a bit of yeast. Touch of alcohol comes through, also. Wheat and a touch of fig is noticeable, too. Smells yummy. As it warms, the spices become stronger.
The flavor nails it. Dead on for the style, imo, and my cravings. Warming banana spice bread seems to be filling my mouth. Maybe a bit of raisins in there too...just a few though. A little bit of bubblegum comes in for a second, just to sweeten it up a tad. Nice spice character works well with fruitiness. This one is damn tasty.
Smooth body with just a touch of prickleyness (is that even a word?) on the tongue. A little bit warming, but the alcohol isn't really noticed. Extremely drinkable. The extra bottle I bought is now gone. I'll be picking more of this up on my next visit to the store.

Served on tap along with a Hefeweissbier; colors are remarkably similar, mostly golden and hazy. The Vitus has a little grayish tinge to it. In bar light, it's not much different at all.
Awesome, full clove and banana bouquet that leaps out of the glass as strongly as it's cousin. The flavor is strong and pronounced, not very much different from the original weizen.
The alcohol is a little more pronounced, the herbal character more prominent, and the mouthfeel a touch less creamy. Great beer.

500ml Bottle
Binny's Orland
After all the LNBA (ColoradoBobs) talk of Vitus lately I had to pick up a bottle the other day. Vitus fills my mug with a lemon yellow beer and numerous streams of carbonation rushing to the surface. After a swirl and pour the yeast cloud grows throughout the body causing haziness throughout. The bubbly head easily rose to three fingers but fell just as quickly to a thick cap with good lasting power. The head is slick and doesn't do much sticking down the glass.
This beer smells like warm banana bread with a healthy backbone of spices. White pepper and clove are the first two that come to mind and really pop as this beer warms. The yeast used is throwing around all kinds of esters along with the spiciness including mild pineapple and bubblegum. The wheat adds a subtle sour twang but this beer is all about the yeast.
The flavor really jumps out with big notes of ripe banana and the peppery quality of green bananas. Dried somewhat sugary pineapple dives in mid-palate combining with the banana and soon joined by bubblegum and the spiciness noted in the aroma. I'm happy to say the clove is mild and accentuates the flavor instead of detracting. Clove is one of those spices for me that can easily be overpowering. This is an incredibly unique beer that I have yet to find anything along the same lines. Vitus is a tasty beer.
The body on this beer is where it should be. As it hits the tongue it feels a little light but the carbonation quickly kicks in and transforms the body into liquid velvet. The carbonation is lively enough to snap across the tongue while the body works through.
A pint of Vitus just isn't enough in a sitting. It's too bad this beer isn't cheaper and sold in 6-packs, which would be the way to go.
I've passed this beer up over and over again for the last year. I like all that Weihenstephaner does but I just kept passing this one up in favor of American micros. Thanks for talking this up so much ColoradoBobs, hard to tell when I would have tried it had it not been for your constant pimping.

After reading all about this brew on ColoradoBobs posts, I had to try it. That white tiger is enough to scare even Siegfried & Roy.
Pours with a huge four finger crackly sounding, cloud like head. Huge valleys and peaks to this one, but not much lacing. Hazy light honey yellow.
Smell is of lemon oil, bitter green apples, slight warming from the booze, nice lager yeast background, light and bright fruits. Good smell in my book.
Taste is also with the lemon oil, light fruits, but more of a grain profile as well, hops are there but don't get in the way of the light flavors probably Hallertau, Taste is slightly on the trappist side but very lightly. I'm trying to taste something but can't get it, I'm gonna have to say, Muscat?
Mouthfeel is great, very refreshing and clean, would be wonderful on a hot day or with a meal.
Drinkability is huge, got to say Bobs you called it on this one, what else you got?

This beer was tasted from the 500mL bottle in an oversized wine goblet.
I am quite surprised pouring this beer that it comes out quite pale and cloudy. This seems to be more along the lines of the color of a hefeweizen and not the dark amber that I was expecting. A fluffy white head erupts that provides a good amount of staying power and laces nicely.
The aroma is up front with banana and cloves. Its actually amazing how spicy the yeast comes across.
The taste comes in a lot sweeter than the smell suggested. Lots of banana and spicey clove. A bit of caramel character, but overall this beer just comes across as a huge hefe with tons of character.
THe mouthfeel is where the beer really separates from a hefe. It is quite full bodied but still has the lively carbonation.
Overall, this is quite tasty. Its a bit different than a traditional weizenbock. Its quite tasty and fairly easy to drink. Still it has tons of character and satisfies nicely.

Pours from 16.9oz bottle a cloudy, very pale golden color with thick, soapy head which dissipates into a thin layer which laces the glass well.
Smells bright with lemon & yeast.
High yeast character blends with lemon & banana fruit flavors and a slight hop note. A bit of spice (clove/pepper) to the flavor as well.
Creamy yet dry in the mouth. Leaves a very dry, champagne-like finish similar to what I've had with a Belgian tripel.
My first weisenbock, I'm enjoying the new flavors of which I haven't found in other German styles. Nothing to compare it to s till leaves me feeling this is another "best" from Weihenstephaner.

Pours a dirty murky straw color with a tall dense white head that dissipates into a light cap. I was a little surprised by the straw color, expected brown. The aroma is fantastic, bananas and clove, lemon and a touch of metal. The taste is of banana creame pie, the extra malt presence gives Vitus a smoother taste than their Hefe. There is a nice rustic and earthy flavor to this. The feel is moderate, with soft carbonation, giving the brew a velvety smoothness, finishes sweet but in balance, very nice. Another exceptional brew from Weihenstephan. Great hefe flavors with a nice silky feel.

4.5 appearance: cloudy straw. impressive finely bubbled head with decent staying power and lacing.
4.5 smell: bananas! some of the best, slightly overripe bananas ever detected in a beer. and, thanks to my daughter who took a sniff and suggested pineapple, i do smell pineapple in there too! half an upside down cake under a load of bananas.
4 taste: like the smell, but pretty straightforward and not really adding much else. good, but not as complex as i expected from a 7.7% with this bouquet. there is a lso a bit of alcoholic bite, but not the bad, disconnected kind.
3.5-4 mouthfeel: body is medium+, finish is buttery (maybe more in flavor than texture, no actual diacetyl detected), thick, and a little syrupy.
3.5-4 drinkability: very good brew. not the sort of thing i'd want every day, but this should be enjoyed at least several times a year.

4.68/5 rDev +9.9%
Cool friuty yeast effect with a backbone of malt and hints of wheat malt. I get a little lemon and citrus but mostly fruity esters.
I was pretty surprised atthe golden color since pretty much every Weizenbock I've ever encountered has been brown. But this is very clear with a nice white head at first that fades to a big rim around my glass and leaves good lacing.
Wow, like their standard Hefe kicked up a few nothes. Lots of spicy estery flavor, lots of tart wheat malt flavor that comes of a little lemony but with WAAAY more sweet malt than their standard offering. Hop balance is good on the bittering but there isn't any hop flavor, as it should for the style it relies on the base malt/wheat malt and yeast for the big flavor! I REALLY like it.
Medium full bodied with a good creamy carbonation level.
I've never run across a German Weizenbock quite like this. I've had U.S. brewed "Imperial Hefes" that are a little like this but not nearly as good. It's basically a Big Ass Hefeweizen suitable as a winter warmer with all the refreshing character of a great Weiss Bier. Now that I know of this bier, I will probably have lots of it.

A- Pours a beautiful totally cloudy light orange color. The head is 2 fingers in height, fluffy and has nice retention
S- Very nice banana, clove, a touch of dark fruit, nice spice, light white pepper, and a balanced hopiness.
T- Starts out with a nice citrus of orange and banana, some light clove, a touch of graham, some white pepper. Finishes with some melon and clean wheatiness.
M- Carbonation is light-med but works great for the style.
D- This is very drinkable, especially at 7.7%. The alcohol is well hidden. I would rank this as second place for weizenbocks in my book.

I bought this at Liquor Max in Loveland Colorado.
This pours a hazy yellow gold with a 2 finger head of foam.
The smell has notes of wheat, clove, sweet malt, and some citrus. Nice.
The taste has a healthy wheat flavour along with some yeastiness, strong notes of banana, mild notes of clove, nice sweet malty tones, and some citrus.
Medium mouthfeel here and very well carbonated, it finishes spicy and with a kick of some lemon citrus.
Very drinkable. The alcohol is very well hidden and I could sip on this all day!
Head retention turned out to be very good and there's plenty of sticky lacing.
Bottom line: This is a very well crafted Weizenbock and when it comes down to it, I prefer it over the also excellent Aventinus. I wish it was available locally.

A Huge white, fulffy head. Great retention and some nice sticky lacing is left behind. The body is a cloudy yellow with lots of strands of carbonation bubbles moving quickly.
Aroma is of banana and a little bit of clove.
This beer is like a ramped-up hefeweizen, not a weizenbock. It looks, smells, and tastes a lot like a hefe. Banana, sweet and also bitter from the wheat. A fantastic beer.
Creamy mouthfeel.
Pretty damn drinkable, what a great beer.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 500ml. or 1 pint .9oz bottle into a weizen glass.
Appearance: It had a golden color, which was lighter than I had expected and a hazy unfiltered body. The head is just off white in color and builds up tall and thick then very slowly fades making slick patchy lacing on the glass.
Smell: The aroma had sweet malty wheat notes with yeast and estery fruitiness.
Taste/Mouth feel: There are estery flavor notes of banana, apple, golden raison and bubble gum within a mildly sweet and tangy wheat malt. Also there are hints of clove and some mild spicy hops for balance. It has a solid medium body with a palate that is smooth and a touch slick with pleasing carbonation.
Notes: Outstanding!!!

Pours from a 500ml brown bottle into an imperial pint glass. It has a hazy golden yellow color with lots of foamy white head. It settles slowly but leaves no lacee.
Aroma is spicy and citrusy like a witbier.
Flavor is just like a Belgian wit with lots of citrus and spice. Some banana/clove character like a weisen but intensified
Mouthfeel is good but it has a tartness that lingers a little on the finish. Alcohol is fairly well-hidden.
Drinkability is good - in fact, it would be a great refreshing summer beer on a hot day.
Revisited 1/23/2010.

Ok. I spent five minutes in the beginning trying to figure out how in the world the BJCP guidelines for weizenbock can begin with "Dark amber to dark ruby brown in color. A very thick,
moussy, long-lasting light tan head is characteristic." And yet I'm pouring into my glass a strawy-yellow/orange beer with not much of very white head. So eventually the decision is... F the BJCP. Weihenstephaner knows far more about weizenbock than that silly organization does. And I'm not getting certified. ever. just decided.
The aroma is bubblegum, banana, honey, clove, sweet wheat malt syrup, light alcohol. Candied pineapple? interesting.
Flavor is a light white pepper and most of the same notes from the nose, along with a lemony/orange citrus character and some lingering alcohol in the finish.
Mouthfeel is creamy with very high carbonation that lends a spiciness, and a good bit of warming alcohol in the finish.
I could drink a whole lot of this, and probably will. Thanks ColoradoBobs, for making me have this beer.

Pours a murky, rich, golden color with a 2.5 finger beautiful white head. Beautiful weizen aroma - hot sourdough bread, banana, clove.
Taste is amazing - perfectly balanced. Banana and clove, bready yeast, pepper and lemon. Hefeweizen's big brother, but deeper and more complex. Amazingly refreshing for all this. Dances on the tongue with phenolic goodness and ample carbonation, finishes peppery and light. Amazingly drinkable, any time. A perfect summer/fall wheat ale.

A- The pour is beautiful. A hazed golden yellow color with orange hues and a creamy white head that sticks all over the glass.
S- Vitus features a very nice weizen aroma. There is a lot of banana and clove evident in the nose.
T- The taste is sweet with clove and banana flavors. Very nice taste, almost like a beefed up hefeweizen.

Appearance: Poured a cloudy orange with a foamy white head. Was expecting something darker than this, since its a weizenbock. Looks pretty close to a regular hefeweizen to me. Still, that isn't bad, since I like how those look anyways.
Aroma: Wheat, bananas, cloves. There is also a good scent of spices in it.
Taste: The wheat and spices come through here. Banana is also there, but is a little less noticeable than the spices. What differentiates this from a regular hefe is the spices. I barely taste any alcohol, which is surprising, considering the 7.7% ABV.
Mouthfeel: Light, crisp and smooth. The spices add to the crispness of it, and the entire drink goes down really well. Not too heavy either.
Drinkability: Really good for this..its refreshing, and light (on taste only). Alcohol level is a bit of a surprise, but I could have a couple of these with no worries.

had to try this one due to the hype its recieved as of late...
A-- a beautiful cloudy golden with hints of orange at certain angels...quickly dissappearing head leaves a white ring around the glass...
S--smell of alcohol is noticed at first followed by fruits...bannana pineapple?
T-- alcohol is not very noticeable as in the smell...what a great flavor...hard to put my finger on everything but i swear i taste bannana and pineapple, and definete bubblegum...very interesting and delicious...bubblegum flavor not to sweet...perfect...
M-- lively carbonation fizzes and moves flavor around tounge...finishes crisp and clean with some bannana lingering on palate..
D-- very easy drinking and actually FUN to drink due to its complex flavor profile...each sip has new tastes...at almost 8% you should go slow cuz this baby can sneak up on ya...
overall i really liked tihs beer and reccomend it to anyone who likes wheat or even ones who think they dont like wheat beers....this could change your mind...my only regret about this beer is that i didnt buy a bunch of them...need to go back and get more really soon..

This beer pours a huge head with some excellent retention. Nice cloudy yellow color.
Smell is of banana phenol. Nice wheaty zest underneath. This is what a weizenbock should smell like.
Nice smooth wheat with authentic german yeast. I'm not usually a fan of the style, but the banana phenol isn't over the top as it is in some beers and it seems to be in balance. It's very nice and refreshing and will probably be underrated for not being over the top. This really isn't a weizenbock as much as it is a hefeweizen. I don't detect any dark malts at all. This is a hefeweizen.
This beer is crisp and refreshing and one of the most sessionable weizenbocks that I've ever had. It's a must try.

A- pale golden body with ample sticky foamy head and a steady stream of fast moving bubbles.
S- very yeasty. lots of banana, bubblegum, cloves, coriander. smells like a strong hefe. maybe some orange in here too
T- very much like it smells. very spicy and yeasty. like a big bad wheat.
M- crisp, clean, light, and refreshing. very nice.
D- easy to finish, id like another. the alcohol is well hidden. this one could sneak up on you before you know it. too bad its not served at ball parks, this one would be great sitting in the bleachers at Wrigley.

Bottle courtesy of CrellMoset, thanks again!
Pours a bright and cloudy gold color, with a big fluffy head.
Aromas are spicy, yeast like, with some light fruit/banana notes.
Taste is sweet, creamy, and with some light spices. Some clove flavors and bananas. Finish is crisp, dry, and a little bit tart. Interesting tasting beer. Kind of reminds me of a cross between and hefeweizen and a Belgian Pale. Good stuff.
Mouthfeel is great. Really smooth, full, and soft.
Drinkability is excellent. This is a nice tasty and easy drinking beer. Would be a great go to beer for the Summer. Would be more than happy to sip this one again sometime...

And a child shall eat them …
Children of the Corn, in my opinion, is a crapfest. The idea is awesome, a cult of kids who murder adults to make their corn crop grow, but the movie goes nowhere.
Despite it's lack of plot, the kids rule. They look like tiny, angry Mennonites, and they all have names that are back in style for Brooklyn toddlers. Malachi is the archetypal evil ginger -- yelling phrases that are half-biblical, half-fascist -– and is a dead ringer for that kid in your seventh grade homeroom who spent all his time thinking of ways to bomb the school.
"Outlander! Outlander! We have your woman!"
"Make sacrifice unto Him! Bring Him the blood of the outlanders!"
It's even funnier when you take into account the actor's real name is Courtney. Despite the fact that the first Children of the Corn sucked, seven more were made. »

Child stars get a tough rap. With headline-grabbing trainwrecks like Lindsay Lohan and the kids from Differn't Strokes, it's not surprising that kids in the spotlight have a tough time of it. Some make it through without any major missteps; others shun the spotlight all together. We take a look at five horror kids - and where they are now. John Franklin - Isaac in Children of the Corn (1984) As Isaac in Children of the Corn, John Franklin (then in his 20s) played the leader of a cult of kids who believed that adults needed to be sacrificed to "He Who Walks Behind the Rows" in order to ensure a bountiful harvest.

My Favorite Malory Novel . . . so far!
I've read nearly all of the Malory novels. This is still my favorite! Who can resist a handsome, gentleman pirate? Witty, romantic, and sexy -- a delightful read.

Premiership Rugby: 'There is no breach of salary cap'

Premiership Rugby's rugby director Phil Winstanley is "very confident" that there are no clubs currently spending over the salary cap in the Aviva Premiership.
With the transfer market now in full flight following Saracens' swoops for Wasps' Billy Vunipola and Harlequins' James Johnston, the Guardian claims that some coaches have said that a few of the teams in England's top flight are cheating the system and spending over the nominated salary cap of £4.5m.
London Irish's Brian Smith, who is preparing for life without star England duo Alex Corbisiero and Jonathan Joseph who both look set to leave the club, said previously on the subject of the transfer market: "I've no doubt a number of our lads have been worked on since very early in the season. Some clubs are paying £2m on their coaching staff. Some teams are cheating the salary cap and spending twice what we do on our squad."
But Winstanley claims that while he has heard "rumours" of clubs over-spending, he is adamant that the teams are adhering to the £4.5m limit. "We are very much aware of what's going on within each club," Winstanley told the Guardian. "Until we can prove otherwise then as far as I'm concerned there is no breach of the salary cap.
"Are we aware of the rumours? Of course we are. I'm not naive. It's not falling on deaf ears. But we have a robust system with extensive powers. I'm not going to talk about individual clubs but every club is subject to them. This is a regular topic at our board meetings … every club is completely aware of the process and the potential sanctions."
