I am going to be on the deregulation side of a regulation debate in my microeconomics class soon and would really appreciate some help. My teacher is a keynesian and has already mentioned market failures such as the 19th century steel trust that the antitrust laws broke up, the De Beers diamond monopoly, and Enron and how deregulation screwed up electricity and ect. He says really big firms can afford to make a loss in the short run which will drive out competitors and then they can raise their prices later because they're a monopoly.
He has also mentioned negative externalities(ex:pollution) where resources are over-allocated and need taxes or regulation so the new price and quantity includes the cost of pollution, and positive externalities(ex:aids vaccine because people benefit from other people buying the product) where the price and and quantity is understated and needs government regulation and subsidies to fix it. He has mentioned public goods(ex:parks, national defense) as goods or services that users collectively consume and where there is no way to bar free riders, so people will wait for someone else to pay which will result in an underproduction or no production at all.
He thinks the government should encourage spending because it provides people with jobs, and when people spend less, people lose jobs which causes a chain reaction of people losing jobs and spending less. Also he said this had to do with deflation which I don't fully understand, I am assuming he means falling prices when he says deflation.
One of his slides also had this: " ... do it(social regulation: protect the interest of citizens) because of asymmetric information and product quality (ex. lemon problem)." I have no idea what he's talking about here, I don't know what he means by the "lemon problem" or asymmetric information.
He says the government needs to promote competition through anti-trust legislation, and ensure economy wide stability by providing full employment, price stability, and economic growth.
I would greatly appreciate any help refuting the previous. Also could you please provide me with common examples of specific "market failures" that people normally bring up to discredit deregulation and also provide me with examples of where deregulation made the economy better. Please include information about liscences and regulations about quality and safety, and some examples of private frims providing such. I know I'm asking alot but I don't have much time before the debate and am still a newb.
These are the kind of questions you need to have with your professor. Ask him or her what they mean; clarify whenever possible. Show earnestness and openness and you will learn.
It's not really our (the communities) place to support your belief just cus' you belief it. Perhaps you find Keynesianism effective or at least desirable? Then what? Follow the evidence.
What you will find is general agreement between economists on the value of all economic schools of thoughts. The disagreement comes in the role of the goverment.
I hope I won't regret that last statement..
Some arguments....
On monopolies: a market monoply can be taken down by any David with a better idea. A state monopoly is backed by a gun. Only the state can be a barrier to entry in the marketplace.
On Keynesianism: Question the logic of public spending replacing private spending---where does public money come from? No new wealth is created, merely redistributed. How is that beneficial in a democracy with some many special interests?
On negative externalities: discuss property rights. Pollution harms private individuals and other private "property." It is not desirable in an Austrian thought framework. Hell, who would argue for pollution?Where deregulation worked: Hong Kong. Google "Hong Kong Experiment"
Malaclypse the Elder: He says really big firms can afford to make a loss in the short run which will drive out competitors and then they can raise their prices later because they're a monopoly.
Stop right there. If he really believes that he should either stop teaching since he is not fit, or seek asylum
do we get free cheezeburger in socielism?

fuckmereedus replied to your photo: ATTENTION - See that first image? It is EDITED…
I suffer with people who take my edits and edit over after repost too. This sucks!
It does. I don't understand why people find it so hard to ask for an image, or even use one when available. Take this for example.
Seriously, is it that difficult for someone to man the fuck up for their mistakes? In my mind, using a picture with someone else's tag on it would be quite an embarrassment. But apparently it isn't for some.

The Night Goes On Lyrics - Kenny Rogers
The night goes on
You and me walking on the land
But we can lose a stare from time in time
'cos we both get lonely
and it makes me more afraid
as the night goes on.
How long will it take until we know
If we should pray and say I'll let it go
'cos I feel the danger
that maybe we should try to take it slow
as the night goes on.
And the night goes on
Keeping us waiting, keeping us holding on
'til we're not afraid of falling in love
and the night goes on
don't let it shake us, just let it make us strong
sponsored linksso we're not afraid of falling in love
and the night goes on.
You and me keep talking heart to heart
But why don't we stop talking and just start
'cos it makes me restless
can't you see it's tearing us apart
As the night goes on ….
And the night goes on ….
I see myself when I look in your eyes
Staring back with a look of surprise
At what's going on
Don't turn back you can get away now
We're just a step from ten feet off the ground
We're alright where we belong
And nobody can say where we were wrong.
And the night goes on …

On the Other Side of the World – A Policing Reform Conference in Bangladesh
By Chris Botha, Southern Business School
During July 2011, I had the pleasure of delivering the keynote address at a Policing Reform Conference in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The conference was organised by the Police Reform Programme (PRP) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Bangladesh. This specific programme, given my interest in policing reform, attracted my attention some time ago. Not only is the Police Reform Programme run by a South African, but some peculiarities around Bangladesh's colonial history compares in interesting ways with South Africa's colonial history. I have known Henk van Zyl for many years since he also served in the SAPS before joining the UNDP. It was good to see him operate in the PRP and I marvelled at the competence that Henk displays in his daily management role. Henk is ably supported by a host of international experts, with another South African and long‐time colleague, André Redman, in the leading role for training and development initiatives in the Programme. Both Henk and André became friends of mine over the years. Whereas the professional part of the trip to Bangladesh was duly honoured, it was indeed a pleasure to have me with the two of them on a personal basis as well.
The conference title (Sustainable Police Reform in Bangladesh: From Global Experiences to Local Strategies) was supported by the themes of the various speakers. My contribution (Contemporary Challenges in Police Organisational Reform – the case of South Africa) covered the policing reform process in South Africa from a historical viewpoint. As such, I embroidered on foreign (unpopular, and even "unlawful") laws in our history, the concept of "strangers policing strangers", our extremely violent society and our tendency to offer a military‐styled panacea for our policing problems. I then worked on the nature of the current policing discourse in South Africa. Therefore, the "war on crime" rhetoric, the view that crime prevention as practiced in our country may well be an "impossible mandate", the results of neglecting crime detection (as well as some transformation issues, such as the establishment of the Directorate of Priority Crime Investigation – the DPCI, or "Hawks" against the background of Hugh Glenister v President of the Republic of South Africa & Others) and challenges with our policing leadership (notably the case of the previous National Commissioner), police misconduct (as well as killings and police deaths) and police performance management according to crime statistics were highlighted. In discussion, it was clear that the Bangladesh participants could identify with our colonial past and with our experiences. One was also able to support them in terms of policing legislation based on our various efforts over the years. This was of particular importance to Bangladesh participants since the police in Bangladesh is regulated by legislation dated 1861.
Dr Rowan Barnsley, an Australian academic, worked on the academic imperatives of policing reform in his presentation (titled Organisational Change and Police Reform), which was highly informative and advanced best practice of use to the Bangladesh participants.
Mr Willem Pretorius (another South African, ex‐SAPS colleague and friend!), who is an international expert and leader on the Asia Regional Trafficking in Persons Project in Bangkok, Thailand, spoke to these issues in a Bangladesh parlance with a paper titled Regional Approach and Efforts to Address Trafficking in Human Beings). Given the issue at hand, his paper was experienced as highly relevant to the policing reform process in Bangladesh.
Mr Peter Tinsley, a Canadian and international expert on civilian oversight in policing and armed forces, delivered an insightful paper titled Community Confidence through Oversight. Given the importance of, and current challenges in, civilian oversight over policing in South Africa, I took the opportunity to interview Peter on civilian oversight of policing. This interview has since been published in the September EdiƟon of the SA Crime Quarterly (No 37, available from http://www.issafrica.org).
Mr Huot Veng Chan (Community Policing in Cambodia), Police Major General Krerkphong Pukprayura (The current situation regarding law enforcement co‐operation against Organised Transnational Crimes in Thailand and measures undertaken by local Thai Law Enforcement to prevent serious crimes in rural areas) and Mr Neale Fursdon (Serious Crime Investigations) concluded the conference with papers of high importance to the decision makers in the police of Bangladesh.
I have the greatest of respect for the Bangladeshis that I have met at this conference. They have a very difficult past and the manner in which they are tackling their future must be commended. I believe that they, together with their international advisors, will make a huge success of their policing reform process.

Christopher Hitchens Fends Off Charges of Apartheid Complicity
It's getting Hitchens had "Chris, "Christopher." "Christopher. "Sir," Anyhow, it Some rolled Nobile bristled. As Hitchens Hitchens said In a phone
to the point where you can't call a premier American statesman a war criminal
without taking flak of your own. Christopher Hitchens, possibly the world's
greatest gadfly, learned this lesson last week at the Union Square Barnes &
Noble as he made the case for indicting Henry Kissinger. Encouraging questions
from the audience about Kissinger's involvement in bloody Indochinese,
Chilean and East Timorese affairs, Hitchens found himself under attack by Brooklyn-based
writer Philip Nobile for alleged complicity in Vanity Fair's
"apartheid" hiring practices. And the Hitch wasn't having that.
spent more than an hour discussing the charges levied in his new book, The
Trial of Henry Kissinger, before opening the floor. Most questions centered
around–well, Kissinger, as expected. But Nobile, who has freelanced a few
pieces that appeared in New York Press over the years, desired to issue
"a challenging question" to Hitchens, who at times appeared less than
are you listening?" Nobile wondered.
Hitchens said, to through-the-teeth laughter. The media-saturated crowd adored
the Vanity Fair and Nation contributor, and he didn't disappoint
his fan base, serving up measures of his dry wit and righteous venom to downtown-left
specifications. Barnes & Noble staff knew the value of Hitchens' glory,
turning the other cheek and a discreetly opened window to the scribe as he smoked
on the enlightened bookseller's fourth floor.
seems Nobile counted only one black scribe, George Wayne, on the VF masthead.
Describing Hitchens' affiliation with the magazine as "your
complicity in a crime"–in comparison with Kissinger's–and
citing "moral consistency [as] one of your intellectual calling cards,"
Nobile asked the author if he would, "as a matter of conscience, and to
put affirmative action in action, consider going on strike until Vanity Fair
has the decency to hire at least one black editor and writer?"
their eyes. Others applauded. Hitchens fumed. "There's always one
at every meeting," he said, incredulous about perceived unconcern with
an hour's worth of noted atrocities. "Then you find what really
upsets you."
Hitchens pulled the safety off, growling, "Stop nodding your fat head–sit
down and shut up!" Nobile stuck to his point, calling the absence of black
writers at Vanity Fair and elsewhere "a cultural crisis, a real
media crisis." Hitchens said Nobile was a "time-waster," and
fielded a question about the subject at hand from a black senior citizen.
signed copies of his book, Nobile nursed his kicked ass. Shellshocked at moments–"Being
called fat! By Christopher Hitchens!"–Nobile said he's brought
up the issue to Hitchens before. (Hitchens confirmed such exchanges later, saying
the charges didn't merit a reply.) But even Nobile gave Hitchens his respects,
however backhanded: "It was a disgrace for Christopher, [who's] a
kind of Herculean polemicist." Nobile said the two of them have known each
other for years, "phone pals" who have cultivated "a friendly
correspondence." Meanwhile, Hitchens supporters like the East Village's
Moshe Chaim Silverglad berated Nobile for interrupting the Kissinger discussion.
Nobile borrowed a page from Hitchens' book. "I find you dull and boring,"
he said to Silverglad. "But you're not fat."
Nobile overstated their relationship. "More like a patient correspondence,"
he said, arching his eyebrows. "I'm patient with him." The Herculean
polemicist added that Nobile's tone on the race issue has been "menacing"–a
"very New York Press style." In fact, Hitchens went on, Nobile's
relentlessness has been downright "Cockburnian," a truly piercing
charge in light of Cockburn's criticism of Hitchens in last week's
edition of our "really scabby sheet."
conversation the next day, Nobile expressed surprise and disappointment. "The
sudden distance he's suggesting between us is false," he said. "Chris
and I have had only friendly relations as two left-wing radicals over the last
several years."
It's getting

Anyhow, it
Some rolled
Nobile bristled.

This is the optional Tekno RC is proud to announce a redesigned rear gearbox option for the EB48 and SCT410 (TKR5016B). This gearbox is slightly angled upward to minimize the drive angles and increase efficiency. Furthermore, this helps to reduce wear on the driveshaft for increased longevity.

This product was added to our catalog on August 16, 2013.
Jan Erik Bakstad
AS the customer before me said, makes a difference for sure and are one of the parts you should replace/ upgrade when building you truck from the start up, or replace if you already running this great truck. IMPORTANT: You need to replace the bearings also with the: TKRBB05134, Tekno RC 5x13x4mm Bearing (4), That are bigger also :) Erik

The best smartphonesThe PhoneDog - Mascot
The best AT&T smartphones
The best Verizon smartphones
The best Sprint smartphones
The best T-Mobile smartphones
1. Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket
After sixteen months, an Android smartphone has knocked the iPhone 4 out of the top spot (until the iPhone 4S, at least). The Samsung Galaxy S II is the best Android smartphone out there at the moment, and it's nice to see it available in carrier (and in subsidized) form. AT&T's Galaxy S II closely resembles the international version and users in some killer specifications like a 1.2 GHz dual-core Exynos CPU, 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD recording, and Android 2.3 with Samsung's TouchWiz 4.0. It won everyone over at Mobile World Congress, and based on AT&T's current lineup, it's the best smartphone available right now.
2. HTC Vivid
3. Apple iPhone 4S
• 4-inch qHD display looks nice, and strikes that perfect balance between the "too small" 3.7-inch displays and the "too big" 4.3-inch displays.
• Somewhat cheap, plasticky feel
Forget the dual-core 1 GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 CPU and 4-inch qHD display. Thanks to Motorola's old user interface - MOTOBLUR - the Motorola Atrix 4G suffered from a terrible amount of lag when it launched in March. Thankfully, the recent Android 2.3 update completely rectified the issues that the device was facing. The lag issues from the past have been completely resolved, and the phone zips through anything thrown at it. With sideloading enabled, Gingerbread installed, and a much-improved build of Motorola's UI on board, the Atrix 4G is finally ready for primetime. Combine the updates with a fantastic accessory ecosystem and a powerful spec sheet, and the Atrix 4G moves past the HTC Inspire 4G to become the second place smartphone on AT&T.
1. Motorola DROID RAZR
Announced way back in January at CES, the Motorola DROID BIONIC has been redesigned and reworked, and is finally available in retail stores. It's no slouch, with a 1 GHz dual-core TI OMAP processor, 4.3-inch qHD display, 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording, and Android 2.3 with the latest build of Motorola's custom UI. BIONIC solves the carrier's rift between high-end dual-core devices (all of which happened to be 3G) and the 4G LTE devices (none of which have been dual-core until now). The BIONIC brings together the best of all worlds, and while it has issues with battery life and is pricey, it's still Verizon's best smartphone at the moment.
2. Samsung Galaxy Nexus
While it suffers from LTE connection issues, the DROID Charge is the second best smartphone on Verizon at the moment. The 1 GHz processor, while not dual-core, performs well, and the 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display is absolutely gorgeous. That said, the $299.99 price tag is a bit much.
3. Apple iPhone 4S
Despite issues with the battery life and some of the applications, the HTC ThunderBolt surpasses the iPhone 4 to take over the number one spot on our list. The 4G LTE speeds are absolutely phenomenal (not to mention very consistent), and the device is feature-packed with an 8-megapixel camera, 4.3-inch display, and almost 40 GB of memory. Unfortunately, the battery life is very poor, and there are some software issues. Despite the cons, the phone makes it into the top smartphones list on Verizon and should please Android die-hards and intermediate users alike.
1. HTC Amaze 4G
With a fast processor (that seems to work well with the software) and a beautiful, metal-clad body, the HTC Amaze 4G is the best phone on T-Mobile right now. It's packed with a ton of goodies, like a 4.5-inch qHD display, 8-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording capabilities, and Android 2.3 with HTC Sense 3.0. While pricey at $259.99 with a two-year agreement, it's the most feature-rich device on the carrier.
2. Samsung Galaxy S II
The Galaxy S II line is arguably the most popular Android line in the United States (at the time of this writing), and the list keeps growing with the introduction of T-Mobile's version of the iconic device. It branches off from AT&T and Sprint's versions by offering a dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon CPU in place of a 1.2 GHz Exynos chip, along with a 4.52-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording capabilities, and Android 2.3.5 with TouchWiz 4.0. It's a high-end phone with an excellent user interface, but due to lag experienced on it that wasn't present in the other two models (likely due to the processor shift), it comes in behind the HTC Amaze 4G.
3. T-Mobile G2x
The T-Mobile G2x is one of the best Android smartphones on the market at the moment. As if the dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor wasn't enough, the upgrade to stock Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) makes the phone fly through everyday tasks with ease. Seriously, it's unusually fast. The 4-inch display, while nothing special, is an excellent balance between 3.7 and 4.3 inches, and the 8-megapixel camera does an excellent job shooting 1080p video. It comes in behind the HTC Amaze 4G and Samusng Galaxy S II, but if you're buying now and want a stock Android experience, the G2x is the way to go.

Agra (Taj Mahal): "A teardrop on the face of eternity"

Jaisalmer: "Oh… It go ice."
It is clear to me that the waiter has the power to freeze water at will, and that sometimes, maybe when he has spilled birayani down a customer who would have been a big tipper, or a cow gouged at him on the way to work because he looked at it funny, he loses control of his power and ends up showing it to us mere mortals in the form of sudden soft drink freezing.Read More
Jodhpur: "Excuuuuse me, ma'am! You know what is wool?"
At one point, a bit yarn hungry by now, I happened upon a dusty bag of nasty pink acrylic wool. A small boy leapt from the shadows of the shop, "Excuuuuse me, ma'am! You know what is wool?" he demanded. I did know what is wool. That wasn't wool.Read More
Udaipur: "Are you jamisponding me?"

The roster of players set to report at USA Men's National Team camp this month has a massive MLS flavor to it, but the biggest contributor to the cause is Sporting Kansas City. Five Sporting Kansas City players were called up to camp for the Nats in Matt Besler, Benny Feilhaber, Chance Myers, Seth Sinovic and Graham Zusi.
"This is a great and deserving honor," Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes told reporters. "These players earned this opportunity through hard work and dedication. It is not only a testament to their individual success, but the success that Sporting Kansas City has had as a team. It's great to see our club and players be rewarded with these selections."
Camp will take place between Jan. 6-12 in Carson, Calif. and Jan. 13-25 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. 23 of the 26 players will be on the flight to Brazil, with the three remaining players staying home.
GOALKEEPERS (4): Tally Hall (Houston Dynamo), Bill Hamid (D.C. United), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)
DEFENDERS (10): Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City) , Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders FC), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Clarence Goodson (San Jose Earthquakes), Michael Harrington (Portland Timbers), Chris Klute (Colorado Rapids), Chance Myers (Sporting Kansas City), Shane O'Neill (Colorado Rapids), Seth Sinovic (Sporting Kansas City), DeAndre Yedlin (Seattle Sounders FC)
MIDFIELDERS (8): Eric Alexander (New York Red Bulls), Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Benny Feilhaber (Sporting Kansas City), Luis Gil (Real Salt Lake), Dax McCarty (New York Red Bulls), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)
FORWARDS (4) : Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy), Eddie Johnson (D.C. United), Mike Magee (Chicago Fire), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)
"It's a testament to how successful we've been as a team this year," Sinovic told MLSsoccer.com's Steve Brisendine. "Team success usually brings on individual success, and in this case it's no different.
"I think it's awesome to have the opportunity not only to train and potentially play for the national team, but to be Kansas City guys and represent Kansas City and Kansas City youth soccer, where we came from. I think it's huge. It's a testament to Kansas City. It's a testament to our club and the work we've put in over the years."
"Jurgen obviously saw something in me this year with Kansas City and is giving me another opportunity," said Feilhaber. "It's nice to be in this situation, and obviously there's only six months to go until the World Cup, so there's still a lot to play for. I'm excited. He's talked to me before and told me how much he believes in my game, so it's not so much proving anything as being consistent week in, week out and showing it. I think that's something I did better this year."
Feilhaber was born in Rio de Janeiro, and to play in the country he was born would be something special.
"It would be tough to describe right now," Feilhaber said of the opportunity. "I think if it were to happen, I'd be able to describe the feeling a bit more."
The camp concludes with a friendly against South Korea on Feb. 1.

Superdry University Spring 2012 Recap
It has been such an honor and such a BLAST being the Superdry Brand Ambassador at UC Berkeley this past semester. Through both fun and tough times, I learned a lot, and gained valuable experience in the fashion world. I enjoyed every second of it. From the fashion shows to the dance shows. From rocking Superdry at dance competitions to shopping at Superdry in San Francisco. From integrating Superdry into my life to exposing Superdry to the lives of my friends and peers.
I would have to say working for and with Superdry was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had in college. If you take a look above, these are some snap shots from everything starting with my kickoff party to my graduation party. It has been a great semester and I cannot wait to see where Superdry takes its next class of ambassadors.
Love always, and stayin' Superdry,
Reasons Why I Love Superdry: Amazing store set-up
Being that I did just graduate with a BA in Architecture, the appearance and set up of the store made a big difference to me. I was utterly impressed by not only the organization of the stores, but the interesting layouts and displays they had. What is also great about the store is their lighting. They manipulate lighting to focus on the clothing, while always creating interesting shadows and depth within the room. If you look above, the headphones were arranged in a simple yet aesthetically pleasing manner. Also above are images of the neon signs and interesting layouts within the store. I highly recommend visiting a store and checking it out for yourself!

My Superdry Wishlist
These 3 items are what I've been coveting as of late…so if you love me, they're always available at Superdry.com ;).
1) Big Zip Buffalo Knit — Cool print on an awesome jacket..what's not to love?
2) Candy Cane Crew — This sweet little knit is great for everyone…the cute design to the versatility, I'd get a ton of wear out of this great top.
3) Smashed Baseball Jacket — Letterman jackets are getting more popular and I'm loving the sporty look!
Thanks for a great semester of style everyone!
Backpacking as a means of traveling makes it difficult to bring a lot of clothes but thankfully I can always count on Superdry. The lumberjack shirts have been my saving grace because they come in every color you can imagine, can be packed easily, and always keep you looking good. Next time you travel? Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend that you bring maybe 3, 4, 5 of these babies.
Trend Report: Backpacks
A new trend that I have been noticing is the use of backpacks outside of school. Instead of a purse or a bag, I have spotted backpacks used as bags out on the street, at the beach, or even going out. Both celebrities and people around Berkeley (myself included) have been rocking this trend. Here are some tips on how to make them work.
1. Confidence! Confidence is key in everything. Act like you're supposed to have a backpack on and you will easily fit in.
2. Accessorize it! Personally, I like to keep my fox key chain on the side of the backpack. Not only does it personalizes it, but it also makes it cuter!
3. Don't stuff it. Putting too much stuff into your backpack will only make it look bulky and unattractive. At school, you stuff your backpack because you need to, but out on the streets, keep it light! It makes it easier on yourself too.
Check out these 2 Superdry backpacks: Napsack & Baden Rucksack

Superdry: Nightlife Edition
So now that everybody is done with school and/or have graduated, we all want to party! Graduations are a celebration and the best way to celebrate, is a night out dancing! Here are some tips on what to wear out.
1. Dress-up! Put on a Superdry Premium Dress Shirt for a polished look. Whether you're in Vegas, or just in good ol' Berkeley, dressing up is always an easy way impress. Not to mention… you'll look good too!
2. Go for dark denim. Dark denim is always best when choosing bottoms to wear. Especially when the event does not require formal wear. Go for the Superdry London Coated Slim Jean. They look great and match with just about anything!
3. Short-sleeved button-ups are great for summer! During these warm summer nights, a long-sleeved button-up may not be ideal. In that case, the Superdry London Button-down works perfectly in the summer. The short sleeves help keep you cool, while still looking dressed up.
Check out the Premium Dress Shirt, London Coated Slim Jean, and London Button-down here!

Leaving for Paris tomorrow and of course, I will be rocking head to toe Superdry. My favorite piece? Easily, the New Panner Boots. They are AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG. Quality combat-style boots with lining to keep your feet warm. They are great for walking around all day and my feet are fine even after a full day of walking around London. Best of all, they are on sale now at the the Superdry stores for $70 each. Will load some Superdry travel pics soon!
How I make Superdry work with my personal style!
I have a very strong sense of personal style and knowing how to wear things so they look good on me. With Superdry, there are so many pieces that I can easily implement into my wardrobe while still making it my own. Here are a couple examples!
1. Superdry graphic tees are great because they go with almost everything! What I do with mine is tuck them into my jeans and pair with a cute jacket and a hat. That way I am not just wearing jeans and a tee-shirt but rather, a complete outfit.
2. My Superdry napsack is my new obsession! Throughout college I refused to use a backpack because I thought it clashes with my personal style. Fortunately however, this backpack looks great with my clothes. I made this backpack my own by hanging a red fox keychain on the side.
3. My favorite pieces from Superdry are their buttonup shirts. Whether are lumberjack plaids or workers' shirts, they are so easy and comfy to wear! The way I wear these shirts is oversized. I usually buy a large or extra-large, roll up the cuffs, and layer them over a tank or a tee. Simple and stylish. :)
- Jaymie
Superdry Playlist
Whenever I visit the SF Superdry Store, the music there is always really catchy and upbeat. Especially since my favorite kind of music is electronic dance music! So after buying a pair of headphones, I realized the sound quality is amazing and wanted to make a playlist of songs that sound great with the headphones!
1. Eva Simons - I Don't Like You
2. Tiesto & Wolfgang Gartner - We Own The Night
3. Nero - Promises (Calvin Harris Remix)
4. Dirty South & Thomas Gold - Eyes Wide Open
5. Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix)
Grab a pair of these Superdry Headphones and take a listen to these songs! I promise you won't regret it!
- Jaymie
So now that it's summer, I've decided to do a little Euro-trip. First stop? London, UK…better known as the home of Superdry. You better believe that I visited the store. What items did I see hot off the shelves and in the London crowds?
1) Sioux Shirt - Since everyone is rocking a plaid these days, sometimes you need a little extra. The Sioux shirt has cool western details woven on that give this shirt a little oomph.
2) Poppy Powdered Denim - Pink denim is in. Every 10th pair of pants I see is pink but these stand out because of its unique bleached finish. I've had several compliments on my pair so far.
3) Alumni Bag - I've seen this bag used equally between men and women but it definitely is useful while giving the Superdry edge.

Exclaimer: this blog is a blog of tv reviews. There are very few negative reviews and positive reviews are only really there to open you up to see the things that we find worthy for you to see.

Reboot review of this week: The Prisoner
#6: "Where am I?"
#2: "In the village."
#6: "What do you want?"
#2: "Information"
#6: "Who's side are you on?"
#2: That would be telling, we want information, information, information.
#6: "You won't get it."
#2: "By hook or by crook we will."
#6: "Who are you?"
#2: "The new number2"
#6: "Who is number one?"
#2: "You are number six."
#6: "I am not a number I am a free man!"
The Prisoner in 1967 was a tv show staring Patrick Mcgoohan about a man kidnapped, this man was a man who was at some point of a secret clearance highest in the english government, he resigned and an unnamed entity want's to know why. He is determined to escape and what comes of it was one of the best tv shows in existence. Each of the seventeen episodes was unto it self a masterpiece dealing with government oppression, the facts of all life, love, betrayal, defiance, escape, the faceless entities that control our lives, all hosted through the eyes of a man who is a fiery short tempered man who could explode at any moment. That was part of the charm that was Patrick Mcgoohan he could go from one character inside of another and throw it onto it self. The show would tweak the mind of the viewer as well bring them in on what what was happening maybe happening maybe not half way through the episode. One of the big hooks of the show was the constant fact that the two enemies wold be playing one big game of chess screwing into each other's minds to try to achieve their mission. Number 2 was a fairly amazing concept, the constantly changing characters was a fairly brilliant method, always changing, always toying with each other never the same challenge twice making you wonder what #6 was going to do next.
The concept of the show was so mind bending that the inconclucivity (i won't spoil it for you) of the end of the show caused people to attack Patrick in the street. It was fairly low budget with a very brilliant set of stories cleverly put together with the aspect that we are all rats in a gargantuan maze. The show if watched now though slightly dated in the technology they use still has a resounding message that will always be relevant so long as there is man or government. This review of the show is fairly poor because I am truly not worthy to review it. This is one of those where you are going to have to go out and watch the show in all it's glory your selves.
AMC's the Prisoner starred a very solid cast of Ian Mckellen and Jim Kavizel. Now If I had to pick a #2 it would have been Ian Mckellen who was actually quite brilliant in the role but as they were saying they weren't trying to remake such a brilliant show but rather put a twist on it. That was honestly the reboot's folly. They just couldn't live up to what it once was. In the end it was too Americanized relying too much on love interests and just lacking that special level of clever trickery that was the basis of the show. Sadly this will probably be the only negative review I put out. High production costs and relatively good acting will only get you so far when you are trying to remake something so loved as to last and be so beloved for so long. Some of the charm of the old show was that it was just so English. Ultimately through such struggle the hero just about always loses and is so unattached to his fake world. Obviously I hope you watch it and decide for your self on both accounts.
Be seeing you.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Patricia Wong, MD (Stanford University Medical Center)
Description: The pocket guide is intended for medical students and dermatology first year residents. It provides a thumbnail overview of practical tidbits one needs to know in dermatology. Dr. Lane has compiled and organized his notes as a student and thus the birth of this little paperback.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a basic overview of practical dermatology for clinicians.
Audience: The audience is medical students doing a dermatology rotation and first year dermatology residents.
Features: Medical, surgical, anatomical, and cosmetic information is included. Facts are summarized in tables. To get the most benefit, it would behoove the reader to peruse the entire book so one is familiar with the contents and has some idea of where to look and what the book contains.
Assessment: Side-effects and prescribing information for commonly used antifungals, toxicity levels of anesthetics, listing of common syndromes, etc., are available in a handy outline format in a reasonably priced book for the novice.

Like a disillusioned carpetbagger, Jenkinson lets his mind wander a bit this time out, making Do You Know Squarepusher? his most diverse collection of songs to date. The title track is the slow-rolling g-funk of Dr. Dre, tape-delayed and hotwired to sound like a digital train wreck -- all frazzled motherboards, chopped-up vocals and skittering breaks. "Kill Robok" slithers like a polyurethane snake, its scaly belly torn to pieces by hydrochloric-dripping beats and abstruse programming, "Conc 2 Symmetriac" is a peaceful, albeit brief blast of avant-garde ambience, while the slow-burning album centerpiece "Mutilation Colony" incorporates elements of free-jazz, illbient funk and gender-bending neo-classical into its damagingly claustrophobic oeuvre.
In a further attempt to bolster his reputation as one of the most innovative recyclers in music history, Jenkinson pounds the Wax Trax! Gothic-industrial pulpit on "F-Train" and digs deep within his own memory banks to pump out some frantic drill 'n' bass circa Feed Me Weird Things on the psychoid "Anstromm-Feck 4", while his dreamy, nearly straightforward rendition of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (replete with his own vocals!) is both subtle enough and chilling enough to have been included on A Means to an End: The Music of Joy Division. But as scheme brigands go, Jenkinson's still top class.
The second disc in this package is a live show recorded during Jenkinson's world tour in support of last year's stellar Go Plastic. While it might at first seem like an obtuse or just downright silly concept, Alive in Japan solidifies the notion that Squarepusher's material is even more catastrophic in a live setting. For some sixty minutes, Jenkinson is allowed to play the role of the uncontrollable electro brat, throwing spastic, beat-infused hissyfits from within his heavily-wired electro-playpen -- and as he bounds nimbly from acid-drenched drum 'n' bass to expurgated jazz-metal, you'll get the distinct feeling that he couldn't be happier if you set him on fire and let him rumble through a lumberyard.
The twisted and sundry mix of styles and textures on display here renders the question posed by the album's title all the more ironic. Jenkinson has clearly realized this, and seems to revel in the album's willful obfuscation -- which all but guarantees that when asked Do You Know Squarepusher? your answer will be "no".

I'm sorry to say this, but yes this happens with many Android phones.
Have you tried turning on Wi-Fi Calling, or are you on T-Mobile service with Wi-Fi data?
2. Re: Can't Download MMS over Wi-Fidanielkbush Apr 7, 2012 7:45 AM (in response to tmo_mikem)
Wi-Fi calling is always turned on. Is that interfering with the MMS's?
3. Re: Can't Download MMS over Wi-Finideleaa Apr 7, 2012 7:52 AM (in response to danielkbush)
This is a known issue.In my house i have no tmobile signal so im all the time on wifi.I know they are working to fix it.Maibe on the next update they will fix the issue.
4. Re: Can't Download MMS over Wi-Fidanielkbush May 24, 2012 8:03 AM (in response to tmo_mikem)
Even worse, people have been sending me images using MMS and they arrive only maybe 50% of the time (this last week it's been 0%). This is causing serious problems, because some of these have been from clients and coworkers who think I am ignoring them. They receive no message that the message wasn't delivered so they assume it went through.
This has caused me a serious amount of grief just this week. It doesn't matter if WiFi is on or off and I also recently rebooted my phone.
Please help me with this -- this is a serious problem for me.
5. Re: Can't Download MMS over Wi-Fidanielkbush Jun 28, 2012 11:40 AM (in response to tmo_mikem)
As I posted on 5/24, the situation is now worse. Not only am I not receiving MMS's but I'm not getting any kind of notification that the message couldn't be downloaded -- the messages being sent to me are just disappearing. I have to get this problem fixed -- this is causing me some real grief.

As goddess of justice and order, Maat organizes the chaos brought by Set and ensures its timely return whenever disruptions have altered the natural order. Ironically, the structure that Maat embodies is the adaptable, free-flowing matrix of nature. This is her most important role, and universal justice is dispensed by her when mortal laws have been circumvented.
This Neter is also associated with astrology and the divinatory arts. In the sky, she sits at the prow of the Sun barque to ensure that it will stay on course of the Meten (ecliptical path of the Sun). As the material aspect of Djehuti, she trans lates divine ideas, and is therefore consulted as intermediary to the gods when the answer to a question is sought or advice is required.
Principle: Order. Maat's energy dynamic quickly reorganizes conditions that have become seriously disrupted or out of objective control. She also ensures the orderly progress of long-range plans, including building, commerce, and education.
Function: Structure. This Neter brings fair judgment in legal cases, and new rules and approaches to seemingly unsolvable situations. However, one must be willing to work with the structure that arises from her response; it may not be the conventional solution, but it will normalize the situation expediently. She is also the celestial tutor, and assists in understanding complex issues and ideas.
Associated deities: Seshat, the divine architect and dispensator of measures; the forty-two Maati, each of whom represents the balance of law in the natural order of life, as articulated in the renowned Declaration of Innocence recited by priests on entering the temple and the deceased on entering the afterlife.
Animals: Heron, ostrich, owl.

Bernard Shaw Birthplace33 Synge Street , Dublin 8
The first home of the Shaw family and the renowned playwright has been restored to its Victorian elegance and charm. The George Bernard Shaw Birthplace is as much a celebration of Victorian Dublin domestic life as of the early years of one of Dublin's Nobel Prize winners for literature.
The house was opened to the public in 1993, and it was then that Shaw began to gather the store of characters who would later populate his books.
This charming residence is a wonderful insight into the everyday life of Victorian Dublin.

I Cannot Seem to Make a Decent Margarita
Help! My barbeque yesterday was great except for my lousy margaritas! I've tried numerous recipes and they are never very good. Yesterday's was fresh lime juice, cointreau, and Cuervo Gold. Too strong and missing something...I don't know what. I poured it into a pitcher and added salt to the rim, a lime to the glass--but still not very good. Please point me in the drection of a foolproof margarita!
unless your ratios were way off the only thing you missed was using Cuervo Gold instead of a decent 100% agave silver tequila.
start with equal parts of lime, Cointreau, and tequila, and adjust based on your taste.
as far as the drink being too strong, it's a cocktail, and one which generally contains 80% spirits. what how would it be anything other than strong?
re: davis_sq_pro
I like the 2-1-1 ratio better. not as sweet and not as orangey
re: JMF
I concur with the 2-1-1 (or even the 1-1-1). Although many people do not want it that dry. Dale Degroff modifies it to 2-1-3/4 (less lime) with the option of a 1/4 of agave nectar.
Measuring is key regardless of what recipe you use. Otherwise, it will not be reproducible.
And for good but affordable 100% agave tequilas, I recommend Lunazul. Their reposado sells for $18-20.
re: tommy
Tommy has the best advice start with 1:1:1 and go from there. BUT, I highly recommend you try it with lemon juice instead of lime juice. Everyone has their opinion, try it and see what you think. If you're trying to save a couple bucks, I've noticed that using triple sec in a margarita doesn't completely ruin it. I prefer it with Cointreau, but if I'm making them by the pitcher for a party, triple sec is just fine!
re: Rick
Yeah, I use standard triple sec for parties for several reasons:
1) it's cheaper
2) it's sweeter, which satisfies a larger portion of the population
3) it's less alcohol, and I don't want people getting loaded on cocktails
But if I'm making margaritas for just a few people, I can tell the difference between Cointreau and standard triple secs, and I go with Cointreau.
I use Sauza silver, Patron orange liquer (instead of cointreau or grand marnier), fresh lime juice, and a little agave nector. I make a quart sized pitcher, and taste it as I make it, adding whatever is needed, as some limes are tarter than others. Without the agave nector, it's a bit too harsh for most folks who are used to the margs made with sour mix in commercial bars.
re: Niki in Dayton
Strongly agree with this advice.As with many drinks, the ingredients might be the same but the proportions vary according to personal taste.I add agave nectar to offset some of the bite from the lime and tequila.If you don't have it you can make some simple syrup instead.I like tart drinks,but find adding some sweetener to the margarita makes it smoother and more sippable.
re: Niki in Dayton
If I want to make a larger drink for summer, I use a 2:1:1 ratio [2 parts 100% Agave Tequila, 1 part Cointreau, 1 part fresh lime juice] in a highball glass filled with ice and add a few ounces of Simply Limeade (made with cane sugar in your grocer's refrigerated juice section). I'm a purist about a lot of things, but I see nothing wrong with having a drinking session in the summer by adding a little liquid to a traditional margarita.
re: Niki in Dayton
Wow this is exactly what I use.
And add agave nectar JUST until the saliva-producing sourness is gone.
One thing to keep in mind is that if you're making it in pitchers, the dilution may be slightly different vs. shaking it. Assuming you're serving them on the rocks, that will be mitigated somewhat once the ice melts, but one technique I've seen suggested is to make the pitcher ahead of time, dilute the mixture with water as appropriate (but not adding ice), and then chill for a couple hours in the fridge. Then serve as you would normally (either up or over fresh ice).
The limes stink this year. Be sure your limes are at room temp before juicing; you get more/better juice that way. You might want to take a zester and make some long peels to drop into the juice to marinate and add flavor.
It's essential to use good silver tequila (I use 1800 for everyday). My big secret is to use Mandarine Napoleon liqueur, instead of Cointreau. 3 Tequila 2 lime 2 liqueur. Shake it like mad and serve it "up" in a salt-rimmed glass.
In the bartending business, some customers don't appreciate an authentic margarita. They want something made with cloyingly sweet "lemon juice" mix, like Rose's. Or even worse, they ask for some sour mix (Lemon-X) to be added.
re: shaogo
The increase in juice volume is for the hand squeezer which are incomplete regardless of temperature. Reamers and other juicers that go to completion work the same regardless of temperature (save for frozen).
re: shaogo
I have noticed a HUGE variation in quality of limes. The ones from whole foods are large, thin skinned, fairly expensive (usually about $0.50 each), but yield about 1.5 oz each. The smaller, harder, dryer ones from Trader Joe's or my corner market are cheaper per unit, but yield about 3/4 (if that) per lime. This is with a good pliers-style hand squeezer.
For some reason, lemons don't seem to have as much variation.
Imagine trying to replicate a recipe that calls for "juice of 1/2 lime" ....
As for Margaritas, I heartily recommend that you serve them progressive more and more sour. I have even made them 3:2:1 with 2 parts lime and 1 Cointreau (although 2:1:1 is my norm). It slows down the rate of consumption and makes it more of a drink to be savored, rather than gulped. If made too sweet, you drink it like it's funny limeade and end up drunk before you know it.
To my mind, a Margarita is about the peppery tequila flavor, bracing acid, and subtle orange undertones. If it tastes orangy, I think that unbalanced (to my taste). I've been drinking up my Cointreau, anxiously awaiting the Luxardo Triplum that StriperGuy recommended so highly.
re: EvergreenDan
I'm glad others have noticed how bad the limes have been, because I thought it was just my inability to judge a lime (I am not discounting that as a contributing factor). Many of the ones I've been buying (mostly at the supermarket, I admit) have been dry and stringy. Very little juice. I've been using the concentrate lime in the little green botttles to make up for the lack of fresh juice. It's really not a terrible fall back option.
As for reciple, I'm a 3-2-1 man myself.
re: tomjb27
Yes, limes have been very bitter lately.
re: tomjb27
If you find that your batch of limes is particularly dry, you can try microwaving them. 20 seconds on full power for 3 limes seems to work on my microzapper. It dramatically increases the juice yield.
re: tzurriz
Is this for limes that you've kept in the fridge? Or do you do this with room temp ones as well? (I keep mine out on the counter.) If it does work for room temp limes, any idea why it seems to do the trick?
re: davis_sq_pro
I've done it with both warm and cold limes. I'm no scientist, but I bet that it weakens or even breaks some of the membranes inside the lime which lets more juice out. All I know is that it works.
re: tzurriz
Just tried your microwave trick with one lime and it seemed to produce more juice ...
I haven't made one this year, and I've thought of revisiting my last recipe, but when I wrote it down I said 1.5-1-1, which is the same as 3-2-2, as in 3 parts tequila, 2 parts Cointreau (for me thus far it has had to be Cointreau) and 2 parts juice. And I had taken to using part lemon juice as well as lime, roughly half and half lemon and lime juice, or maybe two limes to one lemon. That's not parts in that last case but in fact two physical limes and one lemon, then measure an equal amount of Cointreau, then 1.5x as much 100% agave tequila, either silver or reposado depending upon my mood and what is in the cabinet. I divide this resulting mixture (after shaking, etc) in half for two pretty good sized drinks. ;-)
Last summer got hooked on palomas instead, though, and cut way back on margaritas because I don't have to shake the palomas. ;-) I need a shaker that seems like less of a pain. I've been looking at those threads, perhaps that will help.
This is a "cheater's version", but it gets raves all the time.
1 can of frozen limeade. Pour into a large blender.
Fill the limeade can with Silver Souza Tequilla and pour into blender.
Fill the limeade can 1/3 full with Triple Sec.
Fill the blender with ice until it is 3/4 way full.
Pulse until chunky, then blend until smooth.
Salt four margarita glass rims, pour blended margarita mix into each glass 3/4 full.
It is great for a crowd and you can make a few batches quickly too.
And I hope my post doesn't get bashed b/c it's not an authentic margarita........
I got it from a friend who catered parties.
re: mcel215
This was a commonly used recipe with a lot of friends I have in Texas where a little more volume in a margarita on a hot day/evening is generally appreciated. Two differences: Most used about a half of can of a good triple sec [like Cointreau] and although I am not a fan of Sauza Silver due to being a mixto, I find that Sauza Hornitos is good in margaritas (and only about $5 more).
you are so close! aside from the cuervo, hard to say what's going wrong.
i like a 2:1:1 ratio, more or less.
i.e 2 pts alcohol (casadores is a good affordable 100% agave tequila, don julio excelent if you want to spend $) and 1 pt, cointreau or grand marnier, 1 pt fresh squeezed lime juice.
put in cocktail shaker with ice and shake for a long time - strain and serve.
a squeeze of agave syrup or spash of oj can soften things a bit if you like them softened.
other than that you should be good.
For a crowd, I go with the below concoction; It makes about 6-8 glasses depending on you your pour.
2 Cups tequila - quality, 100% agave (I used 1 cup herradura blanco and 1 cup don alejo reposado. On a budget? Sauza hornitos is a good choice.
1 cup fresh lime juice
1 cup Cointreau
1/4 cup simple syrup
1/4 cup fresh OJ (no pulp)
Fill halfway in a blender with ice and blend quickly- you want the ice broken down, but not blended completely. Or just serve on the rocks if that's your preference.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime and serve.
I have to agree with the vast majority of the other posts....ditch the C.Gold. A 100% agave silver of almost any reputable brand will produce a margarita that is drinkable at almost any ratio in my experience. Although, i am partial to a 3:2:2 of tequila, cointreau, lime. My wife likes hers a little sweeter so we will add 1-2 parts simple syrup for her.
Either way, the magic is in the quality of ingredients.
I think I know what it's missing.
Melted ice.
The key to a great drink, be it a Martini, a Margarita, or a Mary Pickford, is that the drink has to have some dilution thanks to ice melting from either shaking or stirring. Also, the action of shaking helps lighten a margarita by introducing tiny air bubbles, giving a lighter mouthfeel (at least for a minute or two before the bubbles clear out). For margaritas, shake them well with ice cubes until you think your hands are stuck to the shaker and the metal part of the shaker has started to frost over. It should take a good 10 or 15 seconds of hard shaking before it happens.
If you're making pitchers full of a drink for a party, you can cheat by adding cold water to the other ingredients. Start with 1/4 of the other ingredients' volume (i.e. if you have made 24 ounces of margaritas, add 6 ounces of water) and add to taste from there. Once you have the dilution right, stick the pitcher in the fridge to chill and all you'll have to do when party time comes is pour it over ice.
Other people are quite right with their recommendations. Start with 3 parts tequila, 2 parts Cointreau, and 1 part lime juice, and then tweak it to your own personal tastes from there. Too sweet, add more lime juice, too tart, add more triple sec. And definitely ditch the Cuervo in favor of something that's 100% agave. Speaking of agave nectar, I firmly believe that while you *can* use agave nectar to sweeten it, the lore that agave nectar *should* be in a margarita is entirely made up by agave nectar manufacturers to help sell a trendy product that I have found is not worth the significant price bump over good ol' simple syrup.
My personal preference for tequila is Sauza Hornitos; it gets the job done nicely without breaking the bank. Any reasonably priced blanco or reposado tequila that is 100% agave will do just fine. You want the drink to have a light, fresh taste, and añejo tequila will deepen the flavors unfavorably. It's still delicious, it's just not as much of a Margarita to me.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
Oh my god....JK, I couldn't have put it better myself. I focused all on ingredients and totally forgot to mention that the technique IS an ingredient sometimes. I have been enjoying all my margaritas shaken heavily with lots of ice. This dilutes, super chills, and "frothifies" the beverage.....its key.
BTW, i agree on the Hornitos call. As i stated a while ago in another string, i recently found a shop selling 1.75 liter bottle of Hornitos for $13. I bought a case. This spring/summer has been delicious.
re: wagoneer79
1.75 for 13 bucks? where was this. this was almost definitely a mistake, and I have no problem seeing if they make the same one again.
re: wagoneer79
so why wasn't every other store selling it at this deep discount? I'd be shocked if just one store decided to not pass the savings along, and every other store (or distributor) pocketed the extra cash.
re: tommy
Many were selling it VERY cheap. I think one place still has some in stock and they are selling it for $25. However, most of the places in town never carried the 1.75l size. Also, the place that had the $13 is easily the cheapest place to buy pretty much all booze that i have EVER found anywhere in the country.
My only guess is that maybe they are clearing out stock for some reason...new bottle? discontinuing the 1.75l size? I would love to hear anyone's explanation.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
I'm still working on my proportions for truly from-scratch margaritas. Lately, I've been doing roughly 1.5 oz tequila, 1 oz Cointreau, 1.5 oz lime juice, and ~3/4 oz agave syrup. Shake and pour over ice. Comes out well, but you do need to shake well and/or give the ice in the glass a chance to melt a little. They're a big step up from using limeade, but a bit more work.
The Sauza Hornitos reposado is ~$33/1.75L here. I used to get the Cuervo Tradicional, but same bottle is $50, don't know why. I was getting Pueblo Viejo, but the distributor stopped bringing it in, despite that it was a great bargain.
Well! You got quite a few replies here. Here's my $0.02.
The key to a great margarita is to avoid the Cointreau all together! If you purchase a good tequila (El Jimador for example) and good agave nectar (only Volcanic, available online) and freshly squeeze your limes, that is all the flavor you need! The artificial orange flavoring from the triple sec is unnecessary and covers up the full taste of the tequila.
When using agave nectar, I use a 6:4:3 ratio. 6 parts 100% agave silver tequila (2.0 oz), 4 parts lime juice (1.25 oz), 3 parts agave mix* (1.0 oz). * - agave mix is just 1 part filtered water to 1 part agave nectar, shaken lightly for a few seconds.
For a truly fresh margarita, I combine: 1.5oz tequila, juice from 1 lime, .75oz agave mix. No need to nit pick over the amount of lime juice as the amount of lime juice will not vary considerably.
If using triple sec (i.e. Cointreau), I like to go with the International Bartender Association's ratio of 7:4:3. I switch the proportions of Cointreau and sweetened lime juice though. (This takes away some of the burn so that your margaritas will not be overly strong.)
So... 7 parts 100% agave silver tequila (2.25 oz), 4 parts sweetened lime juice (1.25 oz), 3 parts triple sec (1.0 oz). (If using fresh squeezed lime juice in place of sweetened lime juice, add 3 parts or 1oz agave mix.)
re: tsmosher
Cointreau shouldn't have any artificial orange flavor as far as I can tell. It's an infusion of a mixture of regular and bitter orange peels in grain alcohol, then sweetened. You could make your own if you really want to be sure of the ingredients. Agave nectar + lime juice is not at all the same thing as sugar + an infusion of regular and bitter orange peels. You could make a good tequila based sour without triple sec or curacao, and you might prefer the results to a traditional Margarita, but I'm not sure you can still call it a Margarita.
Also, despite all the hype, agave nectar isn't really as great or "natural" as people make it out to be. See, for example, http://www.foodrenegade.com/agave-nec...
re: will47
Thank you for the response... I was trying to figure out how to word it and you hit the nail on the head. I find agave nectar to be about as good a sweetener as good old simple syrup, and costs significantly more than simple syrup. You can guess which I prefer.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
Yes, thanks for clarifying.
There's nothing artificial in Cointreau; not to mention it's absolutely necessary if you're making a real margarita.
re: tsmosher
Absolutely! Dropping the Cointreau completely has made the biggest difference in taste and inconsistencies. (And I like Cointreau -- I'm happy to drink it straight so I can taste it.) I cannot remember the proportions at the moment. I am pretty sure I used a recipe I found years back from Esquire.
re: Up With Olives
Proper proportions of a margarita are 3 parts tequila, 2 parts orange liqueur, 1 part lime juice. If you're going to substitute agave nectar, for the love of all that is holy don't call it a Margarita; without the orange liqueur you're just making a Tequila Lime Sour.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
I am a cocktail purist and that's what I would have thought until I tried it. It was just shocking how little difference the absence of orange liqueur made, and you could really taste tequila and lime. I don't like sweet drinks, so I found this a terrific improvement.
re: Up With Olives
Even though you enjoyed it, it's not a margarita. I think that was the point.
re: Up With Olives
I've had tequila with lime juice. It's a perfectly wonderful way to enjoy tequila.
re: Up With Olives
Tequila Gimlet? LOL
re: hawkeyeui93
Nope, not a gimlet because it has Agave sweetener and fresh lime juice. A proper (gin) gimlet is gin and Rose's.
re: Up With Olives
Normally I'm a little bit of a historical cocktail geek, but the Gimlet is one of the few recipes where I hate the original. I much prefer a fresh gimlet made with gin, fresh lime, and simple; or house made lime cordial.
re: Up With Olives
My comment was tongue in cheek BTW (although I prefer fresh lime juice in my gimlet).
re: hawkeyeui93
This is an interesting article on a home-made lime cordial for a gimlet.
re: Up With Olives
UpWithOlives: Interesting read ... Many thanks!
re: hawkeyeui93
At the last Drink.Think reading the author concocted a batch with gin but the surprise was the excellence of the lime cordial with rum. Really delicious.
re: Up With Olives
I've made this one a few times. It tastes great with gin. I've been meaning to experiment and see how it tastes with tequila
re: Up With Olives
Awesome article!
Trying that one soon.
re: Up With Olives
Do you still need to crush the zest to release the oils if you are using a zester instead of a peeler?
re: ncyankee101
I'm sure if you zest there is no need to crush.
re: StriperGuy
Whew that's a relief I spent a lot of time last week making that Cook's margarita recipe and would hate to think it wasn't as good as it could have been. (It was very good.)
re: ncyankee101
Do you mind giving a general overview of the recipe? You can't post verbatim for copywright reasons.
re: StriperGuy
I have seen this posted a couple times so have copied-and-pasted, since the link to the original article seems to be dead:
(from Cook's Illustrated)
4 teaspoons grated lime zest
1/2 cup lime juice from 2 to 3 medium limes
4 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 cup lemon juice from 2 to 3 medium lemons
1/4 cup superfine sugar
pinch table salt
crushed ice
1 cup 100 percent agave tequila preferably Reposado
1 cup Triple Sec or Cointreau or Grand Marnier
Combine zests, juices, sugar, and salt in large glass bowl or measuring cup; cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, 24 is best.
Strain the juice mixture. Combine juice with equal parts tequila and triple sec (so 1 part juice to 1 part tequila to 1 part triple sec), shake with crushed ice and pour over more crushed ice to serve.

Veddy interesting. Might have to try that.
I also like a little fresh orange juice in my marg
re: Up With Olives
Okay made a tiny batch of that Lime Cordial last night, and a gimlet with it tonight.
Bigger batch soon.
Deserves a thread of it's own.
Wonder long how it keeps in the fridge?
Seriously that lime cordial is now part of my permanent cocktail rotation.
re: Up With Olives
If you make one change in that recipe you can increase the flavor dramatically. Put the peel in a bowl with the sugar and then take a pestle or spoon and press the peels into the sugar, roughing them up and grating themm against the rough sugar. this extracts more oils. After doing this for a few minutes you will be amazed at the amount of oils mixing with the sugar. The aroma will be very strong. than add the lime juice and proceed with the recipe. This technique goes back hundreds of years to punch making and the original lime cordial as made for sailors.
re: Up With Olives
Having only half as much lime as Triple Sec leads, IMO, to a drink slanted pretty strongly toward the sweet side. Cocktaildb recommends more lime than Triple Sec, for example, although I prefer equal parts lime and Triple Sec.
The Margarita has to be one of the most abused cocktail recipes around. From gawd awful bottled Margarita mix to sicky-sweet "sour mix" to slushie cocktail to added fruit flavors there must seem to be a zillion ways to make a lousy Margarita. And it is so easy to make a good one.
re: EvergreenDan
I like my margaritas a tad sweeter, so here is my recipe for what it's worth:
Cointreau (preferred over Grand Marnier) 1oz
Herradura Blanco 2oz
Juice of 1-2 Key Limes (according to taste)
Simple syrup 1/2 oz
Shake vigorously with ice in a cocktail shaker. Pour into chilled glass with salted rim.
I like Herradura Blanco the best. Have found that the darker tequilas do not work so well, especially reposados. I don't like the Patron bottle - weird lip makes poouring difficult IMO.
Give it a shot and see if you like it. Lots of good advice in this thread already.

The Airmen and the Headhunters: A True Story of Lost Soldiers, Heroic Tribesmen and the Unlikeliest Rescue of World War IIby Judith M. Heimann
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
November 1944: Their B-24 bomber shot down on what should have been an easy mission off the Borneo coast, a scattered crew of Army airmen cut themselves loose from their parachutes—only to be met by loincloth-wearing natives silently materializing out of the mountainous jungle. Would these Dayak tribesmen turn the starving airmen over to the hostile Japanese occupiers? Or would the Dayaks risk vicious reprisals to get the airmen safely home in a desperate game of hide-and-seek?
A cinematic survival story featuring a bamboo airstrip built on a rice paddy, a mad British major, and a blowpipe-wielding army that helped destroy one of the last Japanese strongholds, The Airmen and the Headhunters is also a gripping tale of wartime heroism unlike any other you have read.
