Urinary Secretion And Its Lessons For Sex Health
AS DURING the development of the foetus (see chapter 3) our two kidneys represent only an improved form of the two embryonic Wolffian bodies, so also both the excretory systems are quite similar, and the mechanism of the urinary and seminal secretions almost identical.
The Production Of Semen - The Seminal Apparatus
NOW that we have thoroughly discussed the other two secretory functions, we come to the real object of our study: the seminal secretion.
False Popular Notions Of Sex That Imperil The Young
THE monthly sexual secretion of woman has been rather euphemistically called her monthly purification, because in former times it was thought that her blood would be thereby freed from impurities.
The Physiology Of Erection And Ejaculation
ERECTION is the most prominent manifestation of the sexual life, but it can occur only if, firstly, a certain degree of congestion, and, secondly, a certain degree of irritability of the central nervous system, are present.
The Erection And Climax In The Sex Act
SO far we have studied the causes of erection, and how it is called forth through muscular antagonism, congestion and nervous impulses; we shall now enquire further into the significance of this phenomenon.
The Role Of Husband And Wife In The Sex Act
It therefore results that in woman, no less than in man, the entire genital sphere works in a state of labile equilibrium, with muscular contractions and congestions.
Practical Benefits Of Sexual Relation Between Married Lovers
THE adaptation of the whole mechanism of erection is so excellent, that we should now like to say a little about it from a theoretical standpoint.
Normally Functioning Sexual Life As Health Stimulant
We strive first of all to prevent disease (prophylaxis), and then if disease occurs, to lead to a cure by the use of hygienic methods.
Importance Of Massage In Ideal Sexual Life
As we have frequently observed, the circulation of the blood is very actively augmented by sexual stimuli, whereby all chemical processes in the cells are immensely increased.
Increased Energy Through Ideal Sexual Life
It is not simply figuratively, but empirically that we speak of warm love and glowing passion. Sexual stimulus excites an agreeable warmth, which glows in our faces.
How To Overcome Physical Hindrances To The Ideal Sex Act
A whole army of difficulties must be surmounted before we can find a person who will put up with our little ways; and what a lot we have to go through before we have reached the point where we can make each other quite happy!
Social Restrictions On Sexual Intercourse
IN addition to the internal resistances and physical obstacles to which we have referred, there are also a number of economic obstacles which must be removed, and through which in many affectionate people passion is stimulated to its utmost degree.
The Four Categories Of Human Sexual Satisfaction
IF we want in the waking state to experience all the pleasures of love and passion, with the highest altruistic ecstasy, this is best attained in a licit union of two lovers who mutually love and respect each other, as should occur in an ideal marriage.
Sexual Control Enriches Our Love Life
There is, unfortunately, scarcely any function so little under our voluntary control as the sexual one, which plays so important a part in determining the happiness or misery of our lives.
Control Of The Production Of Semen
WHEN we speak of sexual self-control, what is really meant? What must we control? First of all, we must devote our attention to the material basis of our sexual life, i.e., to the new-formation of the reproductive cells.
Strengthening The Sex Virility Of Man - Diet And Sex Control
The sexual urge, which can cause us such torture, is not called forth by the semen as such, this emulsion being of itself almost without influence, but from tension in the seminal vessels and ducts.
Increasing Our Sex Powers Of Resistance
WE RAVE just discussed in the last chapter what influences we should avoid, in order that our sexuality should not be needlessly excited.
Conscious Control Of Our Sexual Life
SO we have enquired into the practical means of controlling our sexual passions. Now if we only carry out that good advice...yes, if we behave accordingly, but here we are confronted by a great difficulty.
Practical Use Of Suggestion And Hypnotism In Sexual Control
THE MOST essential condition for the control of the sexual impulse is that at the critical moment one shall be in a position to display sufficient strength of will.
Egyptian Architecture
The architecture of Egypt has been divided into three great periods. First comes the Ancient Empire, the period of the Pyramids. The next period is called the Middle Empire, and the third, and last, of the great periods is the one called the New Empire.
The Great Pyramids
The most ancient monuments of the world, the Pyramids, were built as burial places for the kings. They consist of masses of stone and brick raised up around the chamber where the body of the king was to lie.
Egyptian Temples
We spoke of the temples as the greatest work of the Egyptians, but we shall only be able to look at them briefly.
Greek Architecture
The architecture that we know as Greek is the most perfect of all architecture, and the Parthenon, a temple at Athens, is its best example.
Greek Architecture - The Orders
The Doric order is the oldest and strongest as well as the most simple of the three Greek orders, combining with solidity and force, the most subtle and delicate refinement of outline.
Greek Architecture - Other Characteristics
Instead of covering nearly every bit of space with ornament, as the Egyptians did, the Greeks selected only the best places for it, and thus gave it its proper effect.
The Parthenon
The construction of the Parthenon was of the most solid and durable kind, and the material was marble.
Greek Architecture - Other Greek Buildings
As we look back to the Greece of the period of its great buildings, it seems to us like a vision of the distant past. And so it is. But when Phidias and Pericles and Homer looked at the monuments of Egypt, if they did look at them, they were viewing a past as old to them as theirs is to us.
Roman Architecture
Roman architecture has been called merely Greek architecture imitated with greater richness but less refinement.
Roman Architecture - Chief Characteristics
We have already spoken of the arch as the one great characteristic of the Roman style. We all know what an arch is, but, could we define it in words?
Roman Architecture - The Colosseum
The largest and most famous Roman amphitheater is the Colosseum, built on the site of Nero's Golden House by the Flavian Emperors.
Roman Architecture - The Pantheon
The Pantheon is unique in Rome in the world as a building which has been in use for nearly 1800 years and still retains its old walls and vaulting.

Hotelli sijaitsee hyvällä paikalla kävelymatkan päässä rautatieasemalta ja sopivasti keskustassa. - Lauri
The hotel is situated directly on the LF2 long-distance cycling route from Brussels to Amsterdam, just by a ferry crossing (daytime only - otherwise use one of the tunnels). It is well worth paying a little more for a river view. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable. The breakfast (not included in the price) is copious. The staff allowed us to leave our bikes in the cellar. - Anonymous

PBS Kids Webisode: Noah Comprende
I attended a brunch back in March during SXSW that was hosted by PBS Kids. Thanks to Corrin from Oh hey, what's up for setting me up with the invite, I spent the morning with a room full of talented local and national mama bloggers- some of whom I know (A Closet Writer, Loving Austin Living, Kludgy Mom), others whom I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time (The Days are Just Packed, Kidding Around Austin, Wendi Aarons.)
I was excited to attend this special brunch. In addition to it being held at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Austin (who doesn't love a free, childless brunch at the Four Seasons?), I had an opportunity to meet the people behind the scenes at PBS Kids. Sara Dewitt, VP of PBS Kids Interactive and Linda Simensky, VP of PBS Kids Programming both took a few minutes to tell us about what they do, the process they go through to create what we see on the television. I was quite impressed with the amount of research and testing that goes into the development of the shows and games. PBS is about the only kid television that is on in our house when my four year old sits down to watch TV. It's a trusted source, one that I don't have to worry over, and I now know why. I don't have to do too much television babysitting to know that what she is watching isn't going to turn her into a potty mouth or introduce her to topics that are more appropriate for a thirteen-year-old than a four-year-old. After all, she has a twelve-year-old brother to help her out with that stuff.
We were introduced to a couple of new webisodes that are being released, one of which caught my attention. Noah Comprende is a webisode that is being released this month, targeted to children ages 6-8 years old. The web-only series follows Noah as he spends time in his grandmother's village where no one speaks English. The bilingual dialogue is catchy and easy for kids to grasp with a fun storyline to follow. Many of you have asked us here at LiveMom about Spanish immersion programs, camps and classes around Austin. Although watching Noah Comprende is quite a stretch from signing your child up for a Spanish immersion summer camp, it certainly seems like a good way to have your kids pick up a few Spanish words. And vice versa for Spanish speakers who would like to learn more English. To watch the Noah Comprende webisodes, they are available here.
What do you think? Have you watched the new webisodes yet? Are there any other bilingual sources that you use to teach your children a second language?

We imagine these are the sort of desperate chants going on outside the Croisette right now by a few film bloggers in Cannes; perhaps the Film Stage and or the 2008 version of The Playlist (Kevin Jagernauth, I'm looking at you), somehow hoping the film will screen early or perhaps wishing that a super-secret special early screening will take place and they will somehow magically get invited (not a chance, but dare to dream five more days, boys!) "The Tree of Life" screens in France (and New York and L.A., so much for a special premiere) on Monday.
So anywhoo, to this clip. It's like, "Oh, dad, I don't wanna fight! Why ya gotta be such an asshole?" So as Brad Pitt promised back in the day, his father character in Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life" is kind of a macho asshole and that's pretty much full on display in this new clip from the film below. If you've been following along closely all these years, you basically know that "The Tree of Life" is Terrence Malick's no-so-thinly-veiled autobiographical look at his family, and his dad being a full-on jerk is the reason he's so damn sensitive and attuned to nature n' shit. Or something like that anyhow. So basically, Sean Penn plays Malick years later, all grief-stricken and angsty because he can't come to terms with his loathing and love for his now-deceased father (or something like that). So stricken with resent, and complicated feelings of anger, loathing, loss, love and stuff, Sean Penn's character wanders the earth, goes into deserts, and then runs into dinosaurs. Uhh, I think.
"The Tree Of Life" hits theaters proper on May 27th (in ahem, limited release only). Brad Pitt picking on his kid below.

Scribe, are you kidding? This voice is not unique. There are plenty of college freshmen who are on the cynical smartass kick 95% of the time. At some point someone close to them goes "Do you have to be an asshole about everything." Said smartass thinks they are kidding but then notices that their lover, friend or relative has a very serious face. The person is then advised how everything out of their mouth is about how everything sucks. The lesson learned is that moderation is not a bad thing.
A blog like this is easy to write. After all, there are few things easier in life than being a smartass. What takes talent is writing a humorous piece that does get at the hype around Tree of Life. This is, as with many snark ridden blogs, a not so humorous piece that makes the writer appear insufferable.
booooo | May 14, 2011 7:01 AM
I think the asshole is the writer. What a jerk. That is not funny at all.
scribe | May 13, 2011 5:12 AM
Robin- the playlist has a unique voice, you want less voice go to THR, Variety or Deadline. Simple as that. I enjoy the playlists and KJ's jokes and less formal reporting and editorializing, if it's not your bag stop being a lazy prick and find another source.
Robin Colcord | May 13, 2011 4:08 AM
And I say this all as someone who is guilty of the same shit I'm harping on you guys for. I recently re-read a bunch of film criticism I wrote in my mid-20s and, swear to Christ, I cringed in the EXACT same way I do daily when reading The Playlist. It's a seriously familiar cringe. I stopped trying so fucking hard. Maybe you can too.
Robin Colcord | May 13, 2011 4:04 AM
I think a few of you are missing my intent. I couldn't care less if he's making a joke about Tree Of Life. All I was saying was that the writing is LAME AS FUCK. Unfunny. Corny. Understand? Like, I can literally picture the writer squealing in delight as he typed out this piece. If it's an attempt at humor, it reads like only the most self-satisfied, internet-y type of humor one can stomach. Most of the writing on The Playlist is of this bent. And as I said before, I love the swell of updates I get from this site, but the writing itself is juvenile in the worst way possible (ie: reads like a dork TRYING to be juvenile while still importing his sense of cineaste cool to the reader).
Again, I could give a fuck about someone poking fun at the hype surrounding a MOVIE. My problem is the sheer corniness. This site has WALLY written all over it.
Jordan Raup | May 13, 2011 3:57 AM
Thanks for the shout-out :)
Corey filmsavior | May 13, 2011 3:50 AM
Hey Robin - Get over it. Lighten up.
Yes, we are supposed to be very, very serious and astute when it comes to all things Tree of Life. Cracking a joke about it should have everyone up in arms. Puh-leeze. If you've actually been reading this site, you'll know that it has covered The Tree of Life more than any other place on the internets. Every angle, every photo, every rumor, every piece of news has been covered. One attempt at humor should not have you up in arms.
Dan | May 13, 2011 3:33 AM
Isn't it a bit arrogant to say, in essence, chill out or leave? You can understand that some people do not like your humor, right? Are you a perfect writer with no room for improvement?
The thing about self-deprecation is it shifts focus to the self (the writer) away from the subject being written about.
I think there's some middle-ground here we could all be meeting on.
Edward Davis | May 13, 2011 3:26 AM
It's a fun goof. I even take a shot at one of our own writers as we at one point, took it all so deadly serious. It's as self-depricating as it is anything. Chill pills all around. And or as the boss man used to say, if you're not feeling it, go elsewhere. There's a lot more toothless film sites out there than there is ones with something to say. At least that's jusy my personal opinion.
Like fuck, this IS the most anticipated film of the year (or one of them), can't we all lighten up about it a bit? Renting a sense of humor for that one got who got apoplectic. I think he should have nap.
Dan | May 13, 2011 3:22 AM
Though intended as a humor piece, I think the serious reactions are somewhat warranted.
To each their own, and of course, reading this blog is optional, but understand that pieces like this trivialize filmmakers like Malick trying to do something more than entertain.
When you treat all kinds of films in the same way (attempts at humor), it brings them down to the same level in terms of reader perception. A lowest common denominator of writing style, if you will. This is not to generalize all of this blog's writers; some are simply better writers than others.
What's wrong with a little reverence and respect though? Some films deserve better treatment. It's almost as if you're afraid of being called pretentious, so you dumb it down.
Just my two cents.
neil | May 13, 2011 1:33 AM
What a condescending piece of drivel written here. Suggestion, don't bother watching the movie and instead find more TRAILERS you can lay into.
Chambord_Ro | May 13, 2011 1:05 AM
Aw c'mon ppl give the man a break !
I expect ToL as much as anybody else here but it's not like this film or Malick are touched by sanctity and we can't take a poke at him.
I dig the piece written by ED. That's pretty much why I keep coming to this place after all. The folks here cover quality cinema but with a beer in hand, not ex cathedra.
As for: Pitt playing an asshole ? No freakin way ! I wish my dad would've teached me how to fist-fight when I was a kid. Would have saved me a lot of bullets later (*cheap joke*)
Robin Colcord | May 12, 2011 12:30 PM
I agree.
Maybe 126,483 years from now this site won't read like a bratty film student editorializing from the back of the class on mom and dad's dime.
Edward Davis | May 12, 2011 12:23 PM
Practice makes perfect. :)

STEVENS COUNTY, Wash. - Detectives are one step closer to solving a Northport homicide case because of a child's nightmares. The woman killed has been identified as 62-year-old Narleen Campton.
According to Stevens County Court documents Robert Cody Wirtz's 4-year-old son began having ongoing nightmares involving a"dead lady."
Court Documents show the boy's mother called Child Protective Services on November 24th- two days before Campton's body was found in her Northport home.
The boy asked detectives if they knew what his dad had done when they sat down to talk to him December 7th. According to Court documents the young boy said, "he killed a lady."
After detectives found out about the CPS report and spoke to the boy they arrested Cody Wirtz.
According to court documents detectives think Wirtz knew Campton's son was in jail, and killed her during a drug-fueled robbery.
Detectives found at least two sets of bloody footprints in Campton's home, and the little boy named two other people as possible accomplices. They told us over the phone that more arrests are expected.
The boy is in protective custody, said Tim Rasmussen, Stevens County Prosecutor and is said to still having nightmares, is sleep walking, and crying about bad things.
After he was returned to his mother she reported that he was extremely dirty, had bruises all over his body and was malnourished. The boy told his mom he hadn't eaten in three days.
An autopsy concluded Campton died of blunt force and sharp trauma. She was also choked and endured tortuous incisions on her face.
The boy's mother told authorities her son is still suffering from nightmares, sleep walking and crying about bad things. It's still not known if the boy was with his father when the crime was committed.
Wirtz is in the Stevens County Jail on $750-thousand dollar bond. He's set to be arraigned Tuesday on charges of Aggravated First-Degree Murder and First-Degree Robbery.

Imperial by name and imperial by nature, this swanky Chinese at Victoria station's Grosvenor Hotel has been regally decked out according to the principles of feng shui (think Victorian coved ceilings meet ornate calligraphy screens). The kitchen offers a hybrid of Cantonese and eclectic Hong Kong-style cuisine, with seafood showing up strongly in the shape of minced prawn balls, with crispy seaweed, steamed turbot with dried orange peel or baked black cod with pepper and honey sauce. Otherwise, expect a lively run from crispy duck salad to spicy 'water-boiled' beef or deep-fried pork ribs with sweet plum sauce. A big contingent of dim sum satisfies the lunchtime crowd, set menus offer an appetising snapshot of the cuisine, and the wine list features some impressive food-friendly Rieslings. Oriental high teas and Chinese-themed cocktails complete the picture.
I recently spent time in London which is not something that I do that often, due to a busy weekday schedule and my weekends being taken up with various other commitments.
I have never had lobster Cantonese style before, as I usually eat lobster when I visit the Caribbean, due to lobster being very expensive within the UK. In my mind I remembered eating lobster in Jamaica where it was boiled with no additional sauce and the lobster meat was very tender and succulent. With my only experience of eating lobster being in the Caribbean I was surprised that the lobster was cooked in a mild ginger and spring onion sauce, which complimented the tender texture of the lobster meat: the ginger added a fiery kick to my taste buds which I could taste with every mouthful and the spring onion added a complimentary flavour. I chose a side dish of steamed rice and a braised glass noddle and vermicelli ( I paid for the second side dish separately) which helped not only to complete the meal but to also soak up the flavours, as the lobster was quite rich, and also because I love carbs...

The Grand Imperial London is, rather perplexingly, situated within the Grosvenor Hotel at Victoria station and is well hidden in plain sight of the road. I say this because despite passing through Victoria station almost every day, I'd never once noticed its presence, nor had it ever occurred to me to look at what lurked behind the hotel's doors.
The decor is designed around the practice of Feng Shui – not something I would have known or recognised had I not read it on the website. To my eye, it's a luxurious room designed to scream both 'Chinese restaurant' and 'classy interior' all in one. A little cruel perhaps for what is a perfectly acceptable interior...

set off on a mission in search of a Peking duck that would leave me a sobbing mess as I reminisced of my childhood. Overly dramatic you say? Peking duck is serious stuff. My search lead me to Grand Imperial, one of two resident lobby restaurants of The Grosvenor and conveniently located next to the Victoria train and underground station. I'm not one to usually be tempted by the hotel restaurant when I am a guest let alone for a night out but I put my scepticism aside and decided to give it a shot. Of course my decision was swayed heavily by the prospect of a whole Peking duck and champagne for two for only £38...

It's a real barn-burner between Syracuse and Marquette, but, like, maybe not in the good way?
On the one hand, Marquette is being absolutely stifled by Syracuse's 2-3 zone. Right now — with about 12 minutes left in the game — they're 9-for-34, and they're being forced into taking a lot of threes. That isn't good, since they're one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the country. They're just 1-for-15 from deep, and two of those have been blocked, so it's not like they're even getting great looks.
They also have 11 turnovers, so they're in that dangerous situation where (turnovers) > (made field goals). They had some success getting the ball into the high post in the first half, but that hasn't been working since the break.
And Syracuse? Well, they're getting stops, but they're having trouble clearing the ball. Marquette has eight offensive boards — not overly impressive, considering the amount of shots they've missed, but still — and the Golden Eagles have forced several turnovers in the backcourt. When they do get the ball across the time line, they haven't been particularly efficient either — just 14-for-36 — but its still worlds better than Marquette.
Syracuse leads 37-25, but in a matchup like this, someone hitting one or two threes can change the entire course of the game.
On the one hand, it's really interesting to see Syracuse play vicious defense, but, hey... points?

People looking to have a quick way out of North Dakota and see the Rocky Mountains just got their wish. That is if they don't want to drive to Minneapolis for the flight. Today is the second day Frontier Airlines at the Hector International Airport offered nonstop flights to and from Fargo to Denver, Colorado.
There's 138 seats available on the plane that leaves Fargo three times a week. Might be something to consider as we get into the colder months across North Dakota. Administrators at Hector International say this new service will offer more space to passengers, a reduced flight time, and direct TV in every seat.

A few companies offer hot ballooning over Melbourne. This is a fabulous experience. The only drawback is getting up very early (4am or so) to reach the taking-off site before dawn. The site varies every day and you get an early call to let you know where it's going to be or if it's going to happen at all! Because of the wind it gets often cancelled, so you have to keep trying. Having said that, it's worth the wait and you won't regret it. It takes a few minutes to be up in the air and from there the view over the city, the beaches, the bay and the suburbs is breathtaking. You don't know where you're going to land before you're up because it depends of where the wind will take you. Quite an experience. I often get up in the morning to see a few balloons flying over our place, so I was happy to see our house from the air for once. Loved every minute of it! Certain companies follow the flight with a beautiful breakfast/brunch at one of the city's international hotels. A real treat. Highly recommended.

Ballooning over Melbourne
Weekend in Singapore
Singapore belongs to those places where I could easily live. I love the place, its efficiency, its cleanliness, its people, its underground… Everything works. The food keeps getting better, and you now have the choice between hundreds of different cuisines. Singapore is a convenient stopover on the way to Europe from Australia but it's also great for weekends. Having friends there makes it special for me, and between catching-up with them, eating out, and walking around, there was not much time left, unfortunately. A new reclaimed area has appeared since the last time I was there, and the city landscape keeps changing. I highly recommend the orchid garden in the botanical gardens. Magical.
The Killer Koala, by Kenneth Cook
Kenneth Cook is an Australian writer who was fascinated by the bush and died in 1987. A friend of mine gave me the French edition of The Killer Koala, published one year before Cook's passing. I searched for the book online, but it seems to be quite a rare find these days. Amazon has got a few copies at an outrageous price. The Killer Koala is a compilation of short stories about animals from the Australian bush. Apparently they are true store which happened to Cook while travelling in the outback. Some of them are quite funny, others incredible, and they all tell something of the true Australia, this remote country at the heart of our continent. It's an easy read, and for anyone who's been here and enjoys the outdoor, a breath of fresh air – so to speak.
Review of "The Three Mistakes of My Life" by Chetan Bhagat
"The three mistakes of my life" is a book by Chetan Bhagat, an author from India. Bhagat is quite successful and has written many good books. In this one he tells the story of Govind and his two friends Ish and Omi, who live in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Govind wants to become a businessman, Ish loves nothing else but cricket and Omi is just happy being with his friends. Together they open a cricket shop and become somewhat successful in their business endeavours. This is the background to the story of how they discover a young Muslim boy called Ali, who has a gift for cricket. Ish trains him hard and tries to make him an elite cricket player. But things don't come easy to any of the three friends. Govind's business dreams are shattered by a powerful earthquake, Ali does not want to relocate to Australia to become a successful cricket player, and Omi has to face the political ambitions of some family members. The politics and religious clashes between Hindus and Muslims are part of the story, and in fact, will contribute to its tragic ending. This novel reminded me of the tensions I myself felt between Hindus and Muslims when travelling through Rajasthan. The story is okay, although a bit superficial at times – and the cricket thing can be a little tedious. It's a nice story of love, passion, money, politics, and hate. Well written with fun characters, but it would benefit from more depth in its character depiction. A good read, and one in a different setting for once.
Koala on a stroll…
We went to the Great Otway National Park, Victoria (Australia) in the New Year for a two-day break. It's just right by the Great Ocean Road, and is truly beautiful. Last year we nearly stepped on two brown snakes when going for a walk there (second most venomous land based snake in the world) but this year, as we were driving around, we came across a much cuter animal… Have a look at the video (Please forgive the low quality, it was taken on my iPhone). Isn't Australia the best?
Wonderful weekend at Wilsons Promontory, Victoria

War Horse – the show
War Horse has made it to Melbourne!
After being premiered in London in 2007 , War Horse went on to win a number of awards including two Laurence Olivier Awards and five Tony Awards. It has been played at London's National Theatre, the West End's New London Theatre and New York's Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Centre. And it has just hit Melbourne.
War Horse – the show – is based on a book by Michael Morpurgo. I have not read the book, but I have seen the movie by Steven Spielberg. The story is about Joey, the horse, and Albert, the boy who raises him. A strong bond develops between the two and Albert is heart-broken when his father sells Joey to the British cavalry at the outbreak of World War I. Joey is then shipped to France where he is caught up in enemy fire and goes through a number of terrible adventures between German and British troops. Amazingly, Albert who could not forget Joey and has enlisted, manages to find the horse and bring him home. Okay, the story is a bit lame, but it does captivate the mind. It's not a light story, the movie itself is very graphic, and so is the show. One thing that kept bothering me is how much time is spent weeping over the horse when hundreds of thousands of soldiers are being killed – often in horrible circumstances – around him. I know that this is the story, but it is at the same time a little disturbing. There are differences between the movie and the show, the story takes shortcuts in the show, but that's to be expected, and sometimes it's even outright different. I have not read the book, so I don't know what the original story is like.
War Horse is quite the spectacle. I was amazed at the life-size puppets, created by South Africa's Handspring Puppet Company. They are totally amazing and look eerily real. It was wonderful to see those horses on stage and you quickly forget they are puppets. The way the ears move, the shiny eyes, the tail, the limbs, it's all wonderful, really. If anything, that's just worth going to see. The horses even gallop on stage! It was breathtaking. I found the second part too dark for my liking, but it's all about the war after all. The episode with the French girl is puzzling – I found it lacked clarity in the show and didn't add much. The casting was interesting, as the French girl is black in the show, and her mother white, so you have to assume the father was black – a very common thing nowadays (Thank God) but very unusual in 1915, especially in the Somme region. I can't help wonder what the original girl was like in the book, does anyone know? Of course, the accents are fake (I, for one, can tell!) but they help wonderfully when the French, the British and the Germans are talking to each other. All together, a great show.
Here's the movie trailer:
Melbourne random snaps
Melbourne is an amazing place: sunny one second, freezing the next; full of architectural surprises; multicultural; hidden lane-ways; water and parks everywhere; and more importantly, a pleasure for the taste buds – there are so many restaurants and eateries that you wouldn't have enough a lifetime to try them all.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- More than 100 people received a gift tonight, something we all use in our daily lives.
As most of us start thinking about Thanksgiving, hundreds of people in our community are left wondering where they'll sleep tonight. But now they have something that will help get them on their feet.
It's something many of us take for granted, getting a brand new pair of shoes.
For people like Michael Miller it's a gracious gift.
Miller says, "I just got released from jail and it's a blessing to even have someone come up and give us shoes."
He arrived at the Healing Place three days ago, just in time for their annual shoe giveaway.
Miller says, "We were all talking about shoes earlier today how we needed shoes, boots it's amazing how the lord works."
Dr. George Quill fitted 120 homeless men and women for shoes. The local orthopedic surgeon has been part of this program for seven years.
Dr. Quill says, "The foot is such a neglected part of their medical history they can't be out there beating the streets working through the recovery process without a good pair of shoes."
Walking in these shoes is both a physical and emotional journey.
Some straight out of jail, others off the streets.
Miller says, "Some people don't know what it is to have a life on the streets and they don't get gifts like this for people who live in shelters this is a blessing."
For many of these people, it's their only gift this year.
Redwing Footwear and Guess donated all the shoes. The program 'Our Hearts to your Soles' is a national campaign going on 33 different states this holiday season.

from 'Every Patient Tells a Story'
She's [Dean of students at Yale Medical School] concerned that medical education spends too much time focusing the students' attention on the disease and not enough time on the patient. She cringes when she overhears a student refer to a patient by his disease and location, or when the discussion of a cool diagnosis overlooks the potentially tragic consequences for the person with the disease. She worries that the doctors they will become will forget how to talk to the patient, to listen to the patient, to feel for the patient. For years she worried that in the excitement of mastering the language and culture of medicine they might lose the empathy that brought them to medical school in the first place.
2 versions of a patient's story: first as the patient told it and then as it might have been written up by a doctor… both presented by a doctor who spent a year interviewing African American patients about their experiences in the health care setting…
"In June 1967, I went to Vietnam. I was a member of the First Infantry Division. My first evening there, they sent me out on an ambush." She didn't have any props, nor a costume, but through her voice and expressions she became this middle-aged black man who never recovered from the battlefields and bars of his year in the Vietnam War. She portrayed this man, clearly destroyed by an almost lethal dose of post-traumatic stress disorder, drugs and liquor. It was a compelling performance.
"I had been drinking. I was very loud and belligerent that night and my sister, who is probably the closest person to me, walked off and said that she was never going anywhere with me again. Afterward, I went out to the Dumpster and i threw the bottle in that Dumpster and I said that I was never going to drink anymore. I tried to stop on my own, but the next morning when the liquor store was open I was right there buying another bottle. A lot of times, people—they want off but they have no control. That is what the bondages of Satan do, using alcohol and drugs."
The doctor seamlessly switched into a professional voice, with crisp diction and shorn of any accent as she read a re-creation of what a hospital admission note might have read.
"Chief complaint— a 34 year African American male brought in by police; a question of a drug overdose. The history of the presenting illness: The patient was found unresponsive and brought to ER. He was intubated in the field to protect his airway since he was actively seizing, which caused respiratory depression when he was found. In the ER, the patient was minimally responsive to pain. Per police, he had 3 grams of cocaine in pocket. He has been identified by his driver's license as Mr. R. Johnson whose prior medical records indicate multiple past admissions for drug overdose."
"You're starting out on the journey across this bridge, this education, and right now you are on the same side as your patients. And as you get halfway over the bridge you'll find yourself changing and the language the patient had and you had is being replaced by this other language, the language of medicine. Their personal story is being replaced by the medical story. And then you find yourself on the other side of that bridge— you're part of the medical culture. When you get there, I want you to hold on to every it of your old self, your now self. I want you to remember these patients."

Transgender Teen Arrested for Planning Shooting, Bombing at AZ High School
By Sancho Panza On December 20, 2012 · 15 Comments
A 16-year old at Red Mountain High School in Mesa Arizona has been arrested for planning to murder her classmates and take her own life. Canadian authorities notified the police after being alerted to threats she made on a Canadian trangender youtube channel, and when the Mesa police questioned her about it today, she admitted her plans to take her parents' guns and kill students at her high school.
The video below has the local news reporter also mention that her neighbors and family thought part of the angst she was dealing with had to do with sexual identity issues:
These were the comments that Canadian officials say she posted on the trangender forum:
"I now literally have a plan of seriously hurting… killing… murdering people in my high school. And a playlist to do it"
The Maricopa County Sheriff Office says the girl had access to guns at her home, but never brought firearms to Red Mountain High School in Mesa.
The agency says investigators arrested the girl at her home Thursday morning and that she admitted to posting the threat.
According to the sheriff's office, when she posted the comment three days ago, she had serious thoughts and even plans to shoot people and bomb the school. She told deputies she had been planning this in her head before last week's massacre in Connecticut.
She told investigators she even thought about cutting the wires on the security carts on campus in order to slow the response.
The girl's parents are being cooperative and admitted to having a few guns in the home.
KTAR reports on what kind of guns she might have had available:
Deputies found a semi-automatic .40 caliber handgun, a .357 revolver and a .22 revolver in the house. The guns had trigger locks and were kept in a gun safe. They were not seized.
Luckily for the students at Red Mountain High School, she was not bright enough to keep her plans a secret. From Arizona NewsZap:
The post continued on by saying "I WORK at the high school as a student teacher basically … which is why no one can find out about me somewhat accidentally planning to blow up the school. (and yes … it would be super easy …)."
This while likely add fuel to the debate as to whether to increase restrictions on gun ownership, or to reconsider our mental health policy:
In the interview by sheriff's detectives of the girl's parents both said their daughter has a history of mental health issues, has been seen by a psychiatrist, and had recently been inquiring about where the guns were being kept in the house. The father said he was alarmed by his daughter's comments and took the additional safety precautions of placing trigger locks on each gun and safeguarding them in a gun safe.
She was questioned within 3 hours of Mesa police being contacted by the Canucks, and has been booked into police custody.
Red Mountain High School has school club for sexual identity issues called the GSA, the Gay Straight Alliance. It's been active since at least 2009.

Im sure she's innocent. Hah! What an evil thinking little animal.
Arm the teachers that are comfortable and capable of killing to protect the kids! BOOM! School shootings over! These shooters want soft targets like ANY "Gun Free Zone."
So she is a he, or is he a she?
But, but but, according to the left, she(he) has no mental problems, its just an ordinary thing to want to be something it isn't……..

Most people with mental illnesses are cisgender people. Every mass shooting that has happened in America to date has been conducted by cisgender people, mostly by white heterosexual cisgender men. While I do not intrinsically blame shooting on mental illnesses either, and I'm not trying to apologise for any kind of violent individual terrorism, trans-related or otherwise, objectively people should try to understand that there is prevalent transphobia in society, which is why statistically speaking trans people are more likely to have mental health issues than cisgender people.
A very prestigious medical university found proof
positive, via cadavers, having progressive signs of chemical
lobotomy's in their subjects. This phenomenon was so pronounced
it required further study into what was the cause and effect.
Further study found all subjects had been prescribed and had
been taking Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors or
serotonin-specific re-uptake inhibitors (SSRI's) =
Antidepressants. The part of the brain affected was the front
lobe, some showing up to 70% calcification. The frontal lobe of
the brain is responsible for human emotions. When this portion
of the brain becomes non functional it leads to zombie like
behavior, suicide and extreme violence. Some of these cadavers
had only been on these medications for a minimal period of time,
others for years.
The criminal part of this is that when those funding the school
(the medical and pharmaceutical community) found out of the test
and what results it showed, they shut down the program.
Furthermore, the school was threatened as well as the medical
students, if word should get out to the public, funding would
become non-existent in the future.
Interesting to note: All federal funding for school security across this nation, was cut by the current administration in 2009.
Correct. There's a school district in Texas that did so after the Columbine (Prozac) incident. The have not had any violence, in fact school bulling and other acts of violence (fighting) has been remarkably lower since the Superintendent initiated this policy.

I wonder if the GSA, GLAAD, and other such organizations are going to get blamed for that incident? After all, the NRA was blamed for what happened in Sandy Hook.

lock that nut away in a mental institution where she belongs. yet another whacked out nutcase. So, are we
going to deal with the REAL ISSUE in this country for once, which is
mentally ill nutcases not being locked away in mental institutions where
they belong? Thankfully, the parents in this case actually
kept their weapons secured properly., although one wonders if they were unsecured at some point……"In the interview by
sheriff's detectives of the girl's parents both said their daughter has a
history of mental health issues, has been seen by a psychiatrist, and
had recently been inquiring about where the guns were being kept in the
house. The father said he was alarmed by his daughter's comments and

it doesn't matter if she is transgender, cisgender, etc., etc. She is mentally ill and does not belong in society. end of discussion.
http://www.facebook.com/bobbie.justice Bobbie Jo Justice
excuse me, I am a transgender female myself. Now, as for the nut in this article, the fact that she is transgender has NOTHING to do with the fact that she is a crazed lunatic and needs to be locked away in a mental institution. .

Like many of you on Nets Daily I am a huge fan of WFAN. Listen to it all day at work, and I am a fan of Evan Roberts. It's very rare to see someone in the media actually admit they are a fan of the Nets. However, through out this Dwightmare and D-Will re-sign drama, and the trades we made, Evan has annoyed the living moiso out of me. And not just him but fans, even on here, just like him. The whiney pessimistic fans, who think nothing good will happen and when something good does happen, it can't be accepted as good has to be in some way, shape or form damaging to the Nets. It's quite annoying, at least with Evan he admits he's just a pessmistic Nets fan, while others just state they're being realistic. (By the way, why is it anytime someone is being a pessimest they consider themselves to be realist while all the optimust are dreamers?)
Now the Dwightmare ended and we signed our center, the one we drafted, the one who has been loyal to us, the one (who even through all of this) did not sign an offer sheet, the one who drops 20 pts a game grabs 7 rebounds (check his career stats) and gets almost 2 blocks a game. And how dopes Evan Roberts and 70% of the Nets Fans on this site react? Like the world is going to end and someone kidnapped our child. First and foremost Dwight was never our player, he was never on our team, he has never worn a Nets uniform, therefore he was never ours. Need I remind you back in 2002 and 2003 we made the finals with Jason Freaking Collins as our center. Just because Dwight isn't here doesn't mean we can't be a winning team, I mean if Dwight meant automatic championship then where are his rings? The way I see it, the core we have now in D-Will, JJ, Crash, Brooks and Bro-pez can make noise, add a few more key roles and we can contend. Its not that unbelievable. Miami won a title with absoultely no Center or PG, and we have both those spots really covered. Along with a SG and a defense minded SF. We have taken great steps to come this far and make ourselves relevant again, so why the depression? Is it because we didn't make a trade for one man and crappy contracts?
It's my belief that if you're truly a fan of the Nets you'd look at what we did this off season, look at where we where six years ago and see the improvement. A true Nets fan should enjoy this be optimistic (you know being thats being a realist too). A real Nets fan would be happy that finally someone in that office actually cares about putting a real team together and not just saving cap space. That finally we have good players and multiple all-stars, and they actually want to be here. A true Nets fan would be proud of how far we've come, instead I mostly hear this crying of how we will never win and we will always suck and we're not good enough to beat the Knicks. THE KNICKS! I mean have you seen the mess they have over there? So please why can't we just be fans of our team and our players for once, be proud. We finally have a reason too again.

It's a surprising fact that all 50 States of the USA make wine. For a couple of the more unlikely candidates - Alaska springs to mind - the wine is made in the state, but the grapes are grown elsewhere and shipped in.
However there is also a bone-fide grape growing and wine industry, not just in California, which is easily the biggest name in US wine, but in New York State, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Virginia and many more.
The presence of wine from the USA on our shelves is significant, if limited. Some of the biggest selling brands in the UK are from North America, with well-known labels regularly making an appearance on the top 20 list of all wine sales.
Beyond the handful of mega-brands from the US, American wines do tend to fill the niches at higher price points. Part of this is down to the fact that making wine in the USA is very expensive - a prime strip of Californian farming land or the cost of employing workers is a lot more than in Chile or South Africa for example.
Wine connoisseur Tom Cannvan has picked three of his favourite wines from the USA, which he believes show off the key strengths of a country whose wines might very well not be the cheapest, but are generally of a good quality. Here are his top three selections.
1. Boulders, Viognier 2008, priced at £4.66 from The Co-Operative
Viognier is an often rather expensive white grape from the Rhone Valley in France, which is now appearing in other countries, but rarely does it come at this bargain price. There's no oak in this wine, so Viognier's peachy freshness shines through in a well-balanced wine with a creamy texture.
There are lovely flavours of peach and apricot in this wine, which teams up really nicely with foods such as grilled scallops or tiger prawns, or with mild curries.
2. Ravenswood, Vintners Blend Zinfandel 2007, priced at £8.99 from Waitrose
Zinfandel is a real speciality grape of California, and though it can make the easy drinking "blush" Zinfandel style, it is actually a peppery, powerful red grape that makes big and juicy reds too.
This one comes from Ravenswood, one of the great producers of Zinfandel. With rich flavours of peppercorns, raspberries and raisins, this wine matches up nicely with dishes such as spare ribs with barbecue sauce, chilli, or roast turkey with stuffing.
3. Robert Mondavi, Fumé Blanc 2007, priced at £14.99 from Majestic
The 'fumé' style of Sauvignon Blanc (fumé being French of 'smoky') was popular in California in the 1990s but fell out of fashion. But now there's a bit of a revival of this style, taking the vibrant, aromatic Sauvignon Blanc grape and maturing it in oak barrels to add smoky depth.
Tasting cues of figs, honey and grapefruit can be found in this wine. It goes nicely with dishes like mussels in a cream and garlic sauce and asparagus risotto.

Pours a copper red, light carbonation and a tan rocky head. The aroma is of hops, roasted grains, grassy, caramel and some smokiness. The flavor has a sweet start, very rich and creamy, with a lasting hop bite. The mouthfeel is full bodied; syrupy, slick and oily with a nice presence of effervescence.
As the beer warmed its character improved. Although it is very hoppy, this barleywine was well balanced and a pleasant experience.

Appearance and Presentation 22 oz bottle from Martys bought a few months ago. Poured into my snifter it is a deep brown/red with a 1 finger creamy off-white head with some bigger sudsy bubbles on top. In addition there is decent lacing, but retention that only lasts a few minutes.
Smell Moderate alcohol with sweet toasted malts and some vinous character.
Taste Remarkably smooth, age has treated this well. All that remains of the hops is a moderate bitterness that is overshadowed by the big complex malts. The malt is toasted, roasted and a bit smoky with hints of chocolate, very nice. Added complexity comes from dark fruit flavors, raisons and plums. Terrific balanced its a flavor that I really enjoy. Alcohol is almost non-existent in the flavor.
Mouthfeel The mouthfeel is thick and syrupy with light carbonation, just what a big barleywine should be.
Drinkability and Notes Guardian 2003 has great drinkability for such a big beer. This is an excellent Barleywine at this stage of aging and I need to get back over to Martys to get more of this while it lasts.

This barley wine pours a nice dark and opaque amber and carries a rather sweet fragrance. It fills my glass smoothly with very little head at all, but in my experience this is an acceptible characteristic of a barley wine. Flavor is very sweet, fruity and floral. As I indulge, I notice there is very little lace left on my glass. The 9.91% alcohol smacks you right in the face, but I expect that from the gargoyle on the bottle, very strong and very present. The mouth feel is very sweet, sticky, and leaves a thick coating on the throat... almost overbearing Overall I really enjoyed this one, very sweet and mellow with an alcoholic sneak attack.

Stone continues to impress with this brew! This is probably the most drinkable barleywine I've ever had. It pours a slightly hazy, light burnt orange with a scant off-white head. BALANCE. This sucker is exquisitely balanced on both the nose and the palate. There is quite a load of both chocolate and caramel malts giving that "Tootsie Roll" flavor which seems to be the hallmark of many a great barleywine. Partnering with that rich malty sweetness are some citrusy hops that don't don't overwhelm. Amazingly smooth for such a young barleywine. The high alcohol presence is never obvious (until you try to type a review...and have to constantly edit). :-D The rough edges so obvious in other barleywines (I'm lookin' at you, Bigfoot!) are absent here. Perhaps this will hurt its cellaring potential; only time will tell.

-Hops: Warrior
Old Guardian starts with a beautiful, very clear reddish-mahogany body topped by a thinnish barleywine looking head that managed to stick around longer and lace better than the first impression suggested it might. The initial nose is unexpectedly dominated by a bready malt character more in league with Bells Third Coast Ale or Brooklyns Black Chocolate Stout than a West Coast barleywine. I expected a beer that could easily be confused for a Double IPA, but Guardian is at least as malty as it is hoppy. It helps (me at least) that the malty nose is the kind of nose that comes typically from the use of wheat malt, Belgian aromatic malt, or one of those other exceptional, pleasantly-pungent smelling malts. In addition to that addictive bread aroma, a good dose of those Warrior hops is evident, as well as a hot flash of peppery alcohol.
The ultra viscous body is the first impression of this beer in my mouth. I couldnt even concentrate on the flavor at first because I was so overwhelmed by the thickness of the bodyit feels like lightly carbonated mineral oil: so thick and slippery After my brain forced that other part of my brain to begin cognitive analysis on the actual flavor of the beer, I was able to very quickly ascertain that the malt flavor was not contradictory to the malt aroma: doughy bread with slightly caramelized frosting? Perhaps Im reaching a bit Then come the hopsthe flavor I anticipated all along. Interesting that they play 3rd fiddle to the maltiness and the mouthfeel Those resinous cones team up with the roasted malts (crystal maybeIve tasted this before) to create a touch of harshness that lingers in the corner of my mouth. Thats the flavor that I expected to dominate this brew. I was thinking that Guardian would be more like SN Bigfoot than Old Horizontal. In reality, it was right in the middle, with Stones very English (IMO) house yeast providing the slight diacetyl-ish creaminess to the body that sets their Pale Ale apart. I guess Im assuming they use the same yeast for both brews.
All in all, this was a great beer and one that was way more balanced than I anticipated. The aromatics of the maltiness were a real treat and the super-thick, oily texture was refreshingly different and quite enjoyable. Im glad that I bought multiple bottles of this one :)

The appearance is a clear dark-amber copper color that invites you to drink it. It has a medium size head that quickly disapates into a light ring of foam. The smell is a little too sour for me but bitter. It has a sweet taste to start with that quickly becomes bitter and tart leaving the mouth dry. Overall a good beer with the only weekness of the off-sour smell, but once you get past that its great.

A-Dark amber, light around the edges. The liquid in the glass looks so smooth and inviting. Nice carbonation after all these years. A thin layer of head with a nice ring of offwhite bubbles around the edge. Nice lacing, this sticks to the glass.
S-No hop aroma. Alcohol isn't even present. Malt aroma, tropical fruit, carmel.
T-Malty sweetness that comes off as pineapple to me so I'd say it has a tropical fruit taste. A little alcohol on the finish. Maybe a touch of bitterness from the hops on the finish.
M-Medium body. Smooth! Slips all over your tongue down your throat. This is the first beer I've had that I would call luscious.
D-Easy drinking for a BW. This could age for many more years. I definitely like this aged.

Not so thick a pour; off-white head goes up by a finger and subsides slowly to a clingy collar; after a swirl, thin sheets of lace crawl back into the glass, leaving surging walls of carbonation in their wake. Awesome burnt sienna color, a bit hazy; held to light this barelywine stuns the eye with a luxuriant ruby glow, a bursting neon pomegranate... Aromas of burning toffee and medicinal alcohol from a mile away. Enormous bouquet of molten dates and brown sugar; apricot and ginger brandy; hop cones leafy and blooming, rosemary and pine. Nosefeel is velvety in the body and vaporous in the finish. Flavor is at first shockingly sweet, with more dates and golden raisins; extreme caramel sugars and toffee, toffee rampant and oh yeah also butterscotch rum raisin and rum and then the HOPS without an ounce of twang pull towards juniper, pine sap, ginger (?). In no way are these flavors competitive--the balance is astonishing--finally, things wrap up with a sandalwood dryness. Massive, nougaty mouthfeel with alcohol that warms and dries; the hops resiny and coating fairly shellac the mouth; the palate waters. As far as drinkability, let's just say you're going to need some endurance... The thought of pairing this with baclava or a similar insanely sweet, syrupy dessert is boggling. Heroic.

Limited winter '03 release, this ale pours a usual caramel brown color with a limited head that fades quickly but leaves a lasting, sticky lace. Caramel and spices confront you at the first smell, and a bit of alcohol. Starting with a big malt flavor, this beer changes with temp., as now that it has warmed, the alcohol and hops take over. Short, spicy mouthfeel, with limited carbonation, I now realize this will be unbelievable in a year or two. Too new, but as it warms becomes pretty good. Next review(or update) Feb. 04.

22oz Bomber....
Poured out a rich amber color with little to no head and no lace. Strong smell of spicey hops, citrus hops and some caramel malts. Taste was fairly balanced a bitter bite at first with a sweet finish, raisons, spice, caramel and a hint of lemon or grapefruit was noticed in the flavor, quite good. Mouthfeel was rather smooth not what I had expected, I was expecting something rough with a crisp sharp bite on the palate. This was very good.

Another trade with Swillinbrew.
Same type of silk screened bottle as 2002.
Translucent amber colored beer with a huge, tightly wound head. Very nice lacing.
The smell is surprisingly subdued. Sweet caramel with hints of brown sugar.
Tastes hot. A bit rough around the edges. Sweet honey up front with a bit of coffee and dark chocolate in the back.
Chewy sweet mouthfeel with a residual maltiness.
A nice beer that I think would have been even nicer (is that a word?) next year.

Bought this 2 years ago and lugged it across the country in a move, and it was the very first beer I have ever aged. It has watched over my beer collection for a long time.
appearance is dark garnet ruby colour, small tiny head with some good lacing. served in a brandy snifter.
Aroma is intense. way juicy. oh so juicy. citrus smells and what else, barleywine. smells sweet. yummm
taste is phenomenal. lucscious pine saturated sugar. smoooth taste. very smooth. perfectly balanced. just a smidge of a dry finish long after your swallow, which begs you to take another drink.
mouthfeel is excellent as well. the taste and mouthfeel are just creamy smooth. carbonation is small, but, very nicely done.
wow. this is one of the best beers I've had. i'm certainly glad I held out 2 full years on this one. i only regret not having another, as there is nobody guarding my beer collection. Sad to see him go, but, wow, this is really good stuff. I rarely give 5s, and this is a first time ever for 2 of them. so that says something.

This beautiful beer pours a nice deep amber color with a nice tan head that dissipates rather quickly. A nice lattice of lace remained on the sides of the glass. The flavor was caramel and malt with a hint of fruit that quickly gave way to the amazing, yet not overpowering, hoppiness. A great beer with great mouthfeel. The flavor makes it drinkable and the high ABV kicks you in the teeth. But I never complain about that.

Sampled at the Stuffed Sandwich. You can always count on Sam having a gem or a thousand.
A - The beer pours a deep orange color. The head was very minimal, which is standard for an aged beer. Perfect retention, lots of sedement at the bottom. The lacing took a hit as well, but again, given the age, I think this is standard.
S - Very floral. I'm getting pineapple, dark fruits, and what I'd guess to be cascade hops. Very aromatic.
T - The beer is a bit subdued, but at the same time assertive in flavor. In it's current state, it tastes very much like Fred, albeit a lot murkier and probably has a richer hop profile. Very robust malt backbone, some unfermented sugars; in sum, very complex and very delicious.
M - Medium bodied. Very yeasty.
D - Excellent beer! It probably would've tasted better fresh but it was still good nonetheless.

2003 version. good stuff man. i love the saying on the bottle... "guarding against all things drab, dreary and dull." this is very true. starting off with the appearance it poured with a thick plae yellow head with a brilliant ruby color. the aroma is of sweet malt mixed with cranberry, cherry and yeast. great mix. the taste was yeasty, alcohol, oaky, and malt. it was a medium bodied beer that had a very late, surprising, hop flavor kick in, in the aftertaste.

Golden / amber in color with a gorgeous dark cream colored head. Taste was outstanding with a malty nuttiness hitting me right away with a strong, but not overpowering, wave of hops coming in right after. That was followed by a slight warming alcohol on the backside. This beer was magnificent, I can only wait to try it in a year or so and see how the flavors mature.

can anyone tell me anything about this kid? I read a little snippet about him saying he's insanely fast and scores goals for fun. But i never hear about him when people talk about our top prospects like Piazon and Feruz etc. Maybe I'm wrong and have just missed all mention of him, but does anyone know who he is?/is he good?/should i be excited?

By DAN HEATH
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Holiday shoppers are being urged to support local businesses on Small-Business Saturday.
In its third year, Small Business Saturday, sponsored by American Express, comes on the heels of Black Friday, on the first Saturday after Thanksgiving. The idea is to get shoppers to include small, locally owned businesses in their holiday shopping.
Owner Derrick Hackett of Grow Buddies Hydroponic Supplies in Plattsburgh said support for locally owned businesses is extremely important.
"If we can find each other a little more frequently, know who our small businesses are and shop with each other, that would be great," he said.
It becomes even more important when you realize the money spent at a local business stays local and often gets circulated through other area businesses, business advocates said.
Hackett said he prefers to dine at small, locally owned restaurants. Because they are family-owned businesses, the owners seem to pay more attention to detail, he said.
"They care," he said. "You're almost guaranteed to have a good time and a good meal."
One such restaurant is Donovan's Steak and Ale in Malone. Owners Dana and Donovan Reyome said their business wouldn't exist without local patronage.
"We wouldn't be able to function as a business entity without local support," Mrs. Reyome said.
That includes a lot of return customers, she said.
"We get to become friends with these people. They become like family."
When they travel, they try to dine at local, family-owned restaurants as much as possible, Mrs. Reyome said.
The entire staff at Donovan's Steak and Ale is from the Malone area. That means the money that comes into the restaurant stays local.
Mrs. Reyome said they plan to offer Tuesday-night dinner specials that feature locally grown produce and meats within the next few weeks. That includes locally brewed beers and ales, she said.
Malone Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Hugh Hill said Small-Business Saturday was the main topic of discussion at the chamber's annual dinner last week.
"Various speakers spoke about the importance of patronizing small businesses," he said.
The chamber's website, www.visitmalone.com, provides a list of local member businesses, Hill said. The chamber also has formed a committee that's in the process of articulating its importance.
Cornell Cooperative Extension has been on the front lines of promoting the "shop local" idea, he said.
Robin McGrath, owner of Sugar and Spice Country Shoppe in Ticonderoga, said she has participated in Small-Business Saturday all three years.
"It is absolutely vital to a small business to have local support," she said. "We have wonderful support. Every year, it seems word of mouth travels."
It is a pleasant coincidence that Small-Business Saturday coincides with the store's anniversary. McGrath said just about every employee was on hand Wednesday to help prepare for the weekend, which is also their fifth anniversary and their Christmas open house.
Small-Business Saturday is an opportunity for shoppers to relax after the craziness of Black Friday, yet support their local merchants. McGrath said shopping local is her passion, and she tries to pass that along to her customers.
"I thank them for stopping in and make sure they have a great experience."
According to American Express, more than 100 million people took part in Small-Business Saturday last year.
The company cited other statistics that show small businesses account for 44 percent of the total U.S. private payroll. It states that 89 percent of consumers believe small businesses make a positive contribution to their community.
North Country Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors Vice Chair and Treasurer Kim Murray of Champlain Valley Electric Supply said the company took part last year and hopes to see the movement grow this year.
"This is exactly the kind of promotion our small businesses need. With limited resources, we wouldn't be able to do something like this on our own," she said in a press release from the chamber.
Murray said the Shop Small website makes it extremely easy to participate.
"This gives us the opportunity to take advantage of a national marketing campaign, and it's free to participate. I encourage every small-business owner in our region to take part."
Chamber President Garry Douglas said the North Country has a terrific community of small businesses that offer unique types of gifts for the holidays.
"They make our communities, including our downtowns and our rural landscapes, vital and alive, but they need the support of North Country residents.
"If everyone, as part of their total mix of shopping, would make a point of checking out our small businesses and their offerings and include a few more purchases from these enterprises than they made last year, it can have an enormous impact on both the local business owners and our area economy," he said.
"And if we all do it on the 24th, it can make a real collective statement of regional support for our small-business community."

JSF Performance: Mojarra improves dramatically with latest release
Füge hier deine Gedanken hinzu… (optional)
Originally posted on techscouting through the java news:
In our comparative study about the runtime behavior of both JSF implementations we came to the conclusion that Apache MyFaces performs significantly better on large component trees than the reference implementation Oracle Mojarra. The duration Mojarra took to step through the JSF lifecycle was increased by factors compared to MyFaces, e.g. a view containing 1.000 components took more than 5 times longer to render with Mojarra. This led to the assumption that the overall performance of Mojarra-based JSF applications may improve notably by simply switching the implementation to MyFaces.

sam says :
Thanks for the note. TechEmpower is doing benchmark test for all frameworks(http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r5), in that JSF is missing. we have not yet received a Git hub pull request with a JSF implementation of the tests. If you have time to do the implementation yourself, we'd gladly receive a JSF pull request!
They put this into a Github issue for the time being.
If plan to consider JSF, try it in following scenario
A) Plain JSF Test
1) Mojarra
2) Myfaces
B) JSF + Primefaces
C) JSF + Icefaces
D) JSF + Richfaces
