Optimism, despair or business as usual?
(Thinking hard, walking on the Chukchi Sea, Alaska, 2008)
Do you ever find yourself in the situation where somebody talks about a meeting you've been to – and you wonder whether you were really in the same room? People's subjective perceptions of what was said can be so different.
Well, at least with international climate meetings there is no shortage of documentation in black and white. But there's plenty of room to disagree in assessing it.
Following my own conclusion (based admittedly on reading mostly German media, but across the political spectrum from left to right or vice versa)that it was being viewed positively because expectations had been talked down to a minimum beforehand, I was interested to read a comment in the British Guardian from Michael Jacobs, a climate and environment expert currently at the London School of Economics, saying reactions to Cancun had been "almost universally downbeat". He also quotes Friends of the Earth International as calling it a "slap in the face".
Well, I suppose it comes back to the old idea of the glass being half-full or half-empty. There's one idea which pops up in English and German in various comments from journalists and ngos,though, which is that Cancun saved the talks – but not, by a long chalk, the climate. The show is on the road, but there's a long way to go. And who knows if we can make it in time?
Jacobs himself says Cancun gives us hope. His ideas are worth a read. "The real danger is that pessimism becomes self-fulfilling". He's got a point there. "Optimism", he says, "is not just an essential psychological condition; it's a vital political posture". Food for thought?

Cancun breakthrough? Everything's relative
(Melting ice, Svalbard 2010)
Somehow I find it hard to jump up and down and rejoice about the package that's being hailed as the big success of the Cancun climate conference. Sure, it's great that there has been some progress on funding adaptation for vulnerable countries, forest protection, technology transfer and monitoring and verification. But what is actually going to be monitored? The Cancun package includes agreement that we need to stay below a two-degree rise in temperature. But there is widespread agreement that the emissions reductions pledged so far will not get us anywhere near that, but rather somewhere between 3 and 4 degrees. By 2015, the agreement says, this should be monitored and corrected. I wonder what is supposed to happen between now and then to make especially the big emitters USA and China "up" their commitments so radically?
There was a lot of effort put into reducing expectations ahead of the Cancun meeting. If you don't expect too much, every little appears like a bonus. After the Copenhagen fiasco, there had to be a package coming out of Cancun which would keep the talks "on the road". But it's still a long, long road to go. The fact that ngos like IUCN, Germanwatch or WWF are welcoming the Cancun outcome almost make me wonder if I am being too pessimistic. They probably assume there is just no alternative, and it's better to keep countries around the negotiating table. But although I see myself as a "born optimist", I find it hard to feel confident that we will see emissions peak by 2020 and then be reduced steadily afterwards to get to the 2 degree limit which many scientists say is already too high.

Climate change in pictures while you wait…
Alaska and south America are the regions where the glaciers are currently melting fastest, according to a report released in Cancun. I experienced that first-hand in Alaska in 2008, when I started the ice blog.
This is one of the pictures taken from the Begich Boggs glacier visitors centre. There's a visiting centre purpose built to see the Portage glacier – but where the glacier has retreated so far it's no longer visible from this point at all.In 2008, we were told it had receded more than 2 miles in 70 years.
On the last official day of Cancun, the wrangling is still going on – same procedure as every year? A freelance colleague dropped in just now . "There doesn't seem to be anything happening in Cancun".. he said. Yeah, that seems to be the feeling. My colleague Nathan Witkop from the Living Planet programme is there. You might like to read
his latest summary while you're waiting.
I've also been keeping an eye on the Global Ideas blog You might enjoy a look at that.
And if you are interested in watching some more pictures and video and reading/hearing from some researchers in the field, have a look at these pictures from Lars Hansen who took some great shots at the Zackenberg Monitoring Station in Greenland.
That will all help pass the time waiting for the Cancun closer…

Germs under the permafrost: too scary?
-Monitoring the permafrost and emissions from it at Zackenberg Station, Greenland, I took the photo in 2009-
"I hope I wasn't too scary", said Professor Andrej Grjbovski to me after our panel discussion in Bonn the other night. He works with the Norwegian School of Public Health in Oslo and the Northern State Medical University in his native Arkhangelsk in Russia.
Well I'm not for panic-mongering, but given some of the information our experts were coming out with, maybe you can't be too scary.
Prof. G. was in Bonn both for the conference at the environment ministry and the public panel discussion. (See links on the Ice Blog 30.11.2010). Amongst other things, he's involved in a WHO project to monitor the effects of climate change on health in a region of northern Russia.
He was referring in particular to the health dangers from melting permafrost. There are all sorts of dangerous things buried in the permafrost, which come to the surface as it melts. Not for nothing do some people refer to a "timebomb" in the Arctic. After outbreaks of diseases like anthrax, for instance, animals were buried in mass graves. The anthrax spores can survive in there and pose a new threat to health as they emerge again. Yes, Professor, that is definitely in the "scary" category.
But a changing climate poses all sorts of less "spectacular" but nonetheless crucial challenges to health care around the globe. The WHO says the 2003 heatwave killed 70,000 people in Europe. Heatstroke and heart attacks can be fatal to the particularly vulnerable, especially older people. Children and the homeless were also mentioned as amongst the vulnerable population groups.
Floods are another example. Apart from deaths from drowning, there's the water pollution and fungus left over in the aftermath, which can result in the spread of infectious diseases, respiratory and digestive problems etc.
And of course species are moving to different areas – including, for instance, the mosquito types that are bringing illnesses like Dengue to Europe.
Needless to say – but I'm doing it anyway, sometimes we have to keep reminding ourselves of the obvious – it's the people in poorer countries or areas who suffer most from the higher health risks through climate change. Germany has an adaptation strategy involving early warning systems for extreme weather events or the spread of infections and flood protection systems. The deputy director of the German meteorology office the DWD Paul Becker told me in an interview capacity building and passing on the necessary expertise to adapt to the health risks posed by a changing climate were the key issues in helping the developing world, whereby finding the necessary funding was probably the main challenge.
Incidentally, on the sidelines of the Cancun talks, Germanwatch published its latest Climate Risk Index. It says more than 650,000 people died in around 14,000 extreme weather events over the last two decades.

Climate change – bad for your health?
As the negotiations kick off in Cancun (and the opening speeches seem to repeat the message of low expectations and going for partial compromises discussed in the last blog), I'm looking at this flyer, lying on my desk . The possible impact of climate change and extreme weather events caused by climate change on health is an "in" topic in Bonn this week. The German Environment Ministry, Federal Environment agency, German Meterological Office DWD and the European Office of the WHO are holding a joint two-day symposium. I went to the opening press conference at the Ministry yesterday. There's more information on the background and the issue of health implications here:
Extreme weather events require precautions and adaptation
Tonight I am chairing a panel discussion here at Deutsche Welle on the same topic, that\'s why the flyer is on my desk. The floods in Pakistan this year and the fires in Russia are amongst the examples being discussed of the type of extreme weather events and disasters likely to be on the increase with a changing climate. Obviously, they have an impact on human health. The spread of diseases to areas where they haven't been prevalent before, like Dengue fever in Europe, will also be on the agenda.
The discussion is the eighth in a series called the Bonn Dialogues. The city of Bonn is active in the network of cities working to combat climate change. It's also of course the home of the UNFCCC, now busy in Cancun. And it houses the United Nations University UNU-EHS, the IHDP, International human dimensions programme on global environment change, and the DKKV, that's the German catastrophe prevention organisation, who are organising the conference. I'll be interested to hear what our panelists have to say. I'll keep you posted.

More than two and a half hours into the Band's New Year's Eve 1971 show at the Academy of Music in New York City, Bob Dylan strolled out onto the stage — sporting a dark corduroy jacket, a solid-body electric and no idea at all about what they were going to play.
Dylan and the Band proceeded to tear into a tough set, huddling together before each song to work out what would come next. The performance served as a showcase for their shared history, both as musicians and friends.
"We had played with Bob so much, over the years," Robbie Robertson tells Insight Daily Radio, "that we thought: We'll figure it out. We'll wing it. He wasn't coming into the city until New Year's Eve day, you know. And we did — we were just winging it."
This off-the-cuff moment of brotherly brilliance was showcased in last year's sweeping Live at the Academy of Music box, appearing in two different mixes on discs two and four. Highlights included "Don't Ya Tell Henry," a Basement Tapes rarity, and a scruffy take on "Down in the Flood."
"In there, too, he says: 'You know, we haven't played this song in years,'" Robertson adds, referencing their raucous version of "Like a Rolling Stone." "Some of the songs, we had never played together. But even that fell together, in its own kind of way. He sang his heart out, and it was a lot of fun that night."

I hate this foundation. I don't know how this can cost as much as it does. one of the worst foundations I have tried.
First of all, its super liquid-y, so obviously coverage is minimal. but it also accentuated my pores alot. I don't have too big of pores, but it made my skin look rather old; and I'm only 22.
the finish was really weird too. it wasn't matte, dewy, illuminating, but rather powdery and ugly.
It also smelled like men's after shave fragrance;
I don't know. for the price, I expected something that goes on sheer, covers the basics, feels nice and light on the skin, and glowy. it also broke me out. great.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It is very light, provides minimal coverage, even if you try to build it, it doesn't make a difference.
It comes on looking very powdery, it can make the skin look really dry and dehydrated.
It is so expensive, I paid $98 in Australia, and it is not worth it. I think for that much $ you should get a miracle in a bottle. This is not a miracle in a bottle. I expected a lot more for the price.
When i bought it my skin wasn't that great, It was after a few too many nights out and my skin was looking a bit dehydrated, broken out, so I thought I will give it another chance once my skin improves, and it did, and when I tried it, it still didn't do much for me, just made my skin look dry, dehydrated and not glowing like i was expecting.
It is very thin and the application can be very messy. The man who sold it to me recommended application with fingertips as this foundation is very liquidy it sinks into the brush so you end up wasting alot of it.
This foundation is great if your skin has NO imperfections and no dryness. SO if you have perfect skin and just need a very light coverage it's great.

This "foundation" is amazing and definitely a HG item for me now! I have never used anything like it. It goes on so light, almost like a moisturizer that seeps into your skin. It blends flawlessly. By the end of the night I swear my skin looked even more flawless! I could not be more impressed with this product. The coverage is def light to (at best) a modest medium. So if your skin has minor imperfections and/or you are looking for a nice evening of skin tone for a flawless finish, this is DEFINITELY the foundation for you. This product is unreal and unlike anything I have ever used. It is on the expensive side, but worth every penny!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Well, i find this foundation beyond excellent. It spreads over my skin really fast and putting it on takes seconds. It seems fool-proof. The consistency is that of a really thin oil, but it transforms instantly on skin leaving no greasy feeling at all. It is an amazing feeling to not feel the foundation on the skin, too! The finish without a powder is quite beautiful and dewy, and very natural as the cover is sheer. i find you can build it to a medium cover, but a bit of the amazing natural look gets lost. As the application top makes it easy to use a precise amount, I actually find this foundation priceworthy. I have this in 6.5 and it matches my fair but easily tanned nordic skin tone. in winter I might switch to 5.5.
Will update in a few weeks regarding two concerns, though:
I work long night shifts (17 hrs) and the staying power test will be brutal!
Also, this foundation is full of 'cones and this often makes me break out. We'll se about that.
Update 21/9: Been using this for a week now. Still love! No pimples:)
Am using it sometimes with primer (Lancome La Base) and sometimes without. The staying power is better with primer although difference is subtle. It looks fresh on my slightly oily skin still after 8 hrs. I have found 5.5 is a better match now. Best thing of all is that it does,n settle into the large pores I have on nose, cheeks and forehead. This happens with almost every other product in spite of using thin or thick primer.
Will update in a few months how this performs in cooler weather.
This foundation has a light, dry oil texture, which is actually quite nice to apply. The main strength of this foundation is that it doesn't look like you have any make up on, but have excellent skin. I'm not one for thick, full coverage foundations, so this one is great for me.
It doesn't offer a lot by way of coverage but it covers more than a tinted moisturizer. Of course you can also build it up, but I recommend getting a different foundation if you're looking for more than light coverage.
I use a good moisturizer the night before (Aurelia night cream, ANR, sometimes PAI rosehip oil too) plus a hydrating day cream before applying this (Aurelia day cream or Bioderma) and this looks excellent. So I recommend you have a good moisturization process before trying this out, as it *will* look flaky if your skin is a little dry.
It wouldn't survive a night out clubbing and sweating but for a normal work day, it's fine. I put Dior loose powder over this for a matte effect and it stays put. It doesn't do well on hot days though, so I keep it limited to winter times.
It doesn't break me out, and it comes out in a small pipette which is always nice for hygiene reasons. It looks excellent when applied with both a brush and fingers.
I wouldn't repurchase because on days where I want more coverage, I simply don't have that option. With more full coverage foundations, I can at least "water" them down with moisturizer.

Well this was a big surprise for me. I was truly expecting a normal foundation-like texture...of course I had read up a bit, but assumed (as with pretty much every skin product) that the description was a bit of flouncy words to sell the brand.
Usually when trying on foundations in department stores i try on my hand (I know, I know--never match the color to your hand! eek!) to check not the color, but the texture. I figure, if a product shows up on my hand, it will definitely be obvious on my face. This one, to my surprise, melted into my skin, and left my hand looking perfect and silky. I cannot stress this enough--the foundation literally sinks in in about 2 seconds and you cannot feel anything afterwards. Its a very "naked-face" feel.
I bought number 6, which is a perfect color match to my face. The applicator is not the most mess-free way of going about things, but allows for easy enough application, and is very controllable. (i.e., no dilemma of 1 pump too little, 2 pumps too much).
Price wise, it is not awful. I paid about 80 $ which is nothing out of the ordinary for high end makeup. And this one is truly a foundation like no other. I like my foundations to look natural, and I only use them on special occasions. I keep my skin care simple with coconut oil as a cleanser and moisturiser, and on normal days just wear concealer and Soleil Tan de Chanel for my skin. This product is perfect for me for so many reasons, but mainly because my skin still looks very real and touchable, not cakey or dry. My boyfriend always points out girls whose makeup looks like its 1 inch thick, he always says it looks like you can scrape through the layers like cake frosting. NOT a look I want.
This is how I use Maestro foundation in my regular routine!
1. Wash face with lukewarm water and soap. If needed, exfoliate gently.
2. Cleanse/moisturise with a cotton ball and organic coconut oil and pure vitamin E.
3. Wait 5-10 minutes for oil to sink in.
4. Starting from the center of my face, apply a few drops of foundation.
5. Immediately massage it into my skin (it melts into it immediately)
5. Brush EL Double wear concealer under my eyes and around my nose, blend in with BB sponge.
6. Set everything with a light dusting of NARS laguna, and finish with a corally blush and a light highlight on my cheekbones.
Hope you give this foundation a try and I hope this review helps make your decision :) Remember to just moisturise/exfoliate well before use!

well I got the Giorgio Armani Fusion Makeup in color 4. Colors a good match but not sure on the makeup. I literally just put it on with some powder. It feels really silicony when you first put it on. Then it fads and the coverage is buildable and once you add some powder feels very light and like its not there. The feel is really nice once it soaks in a bit. Wears well on me. Works well with my medium oily skin and the heat.
Worth trying out.
Love this product, definitely my new HG in Foundation and I have used a lot and I mean really a lot of foundation brands over the years. This one is, until now, the best if you like a no make up make up look and feel.

The texture of Armani Maestro is like a very light dry oil, it looks slightly powdery after applied on my face, but just wait for it sets (about 10 minutes), it just melts into my skin and the colour also becomes a perfect match. I think it's a good foundation for summer, non-greasy, velvety finish, ultra lightweight, and it lasts pretty well. But in colder months, it may feels a little bit dry.
I was considering buying this but asked to try a sample first. Thank goodness.
I like how it "melted" into my skin on application, but it showed up every little flake. The tiny little bottle and dropper they gave me for the sample soon got totally clogged - the neck of it was so caked with product after a couple of days I no longer want to use it.
Worse, when I went to clean out the little bottle (it's cute and I wanted to re-use it) NOTHING would clean the product away. Not makeup remover, not soap, not WD40, not dishwashing detergent, not Mr. Clean floor cleaner, not Windex. That is scary.... I don't want that sort of product anywhere on my skin, thank you very much!

You'll also find the operating system has some knowledge, such as how to drive VGA, baked in too. Operating the CPU is fundamental to actually running on a given system, so the operating system must know this. Some other functions are essential also and the operating system contains "baked in" ability to access these facilities.
However, some functionality is optional. Rather than leave developers with a choice to "bake in" or "tough" - or worse, ship all drivers baked in and make the OS massive, operating system developers build an abstract way of loading in arbitrary drivers, usually matching certain types of subsystems such as USB or Disk. This means anyone can add functionality. Often, it is normal to follow this architecture for one's own built in drivers too, for cleanliness and so they do not have to be used if they don't need to.

Consolidating the Peace: Challenges and Opportunities for Liberia and the Role of the United Nations
On March 18th, the International Peace Institute hosted a lunchtime policy discussion on "Consolidating the Peace: Challenges and Opportunities for Liberia and the Role of the United Nations," with speaker Ms. Ellen Margrethe Løj, Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) and Coordinator of the United Nations Operations in Liberia (UNMIL).
SRSG Løj recounted the progress Liberia has made over the years--including economic revitalization and the securing of some foreign investment--and noted that Liberia is a prime example of the development-security problem: i.e, that there can be no security without development, nor can there be development without security. Indeed, she cautioned that many challenges remain for Liberia, adding that the role of the United Nations in the country's continuing progress remains important.
Prior to her appointment as SRSG for Liberia, Ms. Løj served as Danish Ambassador to the Czech Republic and was Denmark's Permanent Representative to the United Nations from 2001 to 2007. Ms. Løj was also State Secretary of the South Group in Denmark's Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1996 to 2001, after serving two terms as Group's Under-Secretary-General, first for multilateral, then bilateral affairs. Prior to those Ministry postings, she served as Danish Ambassador to Israel.
Chaired by IPI Senior Vice President and Director of Studies Dr. Edward Luck, the event was part of IPI's Special Representatives of the Secretary-General (SRSG) series.

I am LEFT JOINing multiple tables as such:
SELECT * FROM table1
LEFT JOIN table2 ON table1.id = table2.fid
LEFT JOIN table3 ON table1.id = table3.fid
LEFT JOIN table4 ON table1.id = table4.fid
LEFT JOIN table5 ON table1.id = table5.fid
LEFT JOIN table6 ON table1.id = table6.fid
WHERE table2.id = '5184'
Reason being is simply because I tried regular JOIN and no results are returned unless at least one record exists in tables1-6 which is often not the case. As it stands this returns the info I want, but the problem is that a lot of the field names repeat and when I do a 'mysql_fetch_array()' in PHP it hides any field with a duplicate name.

American politicians forever talk about the nation's "exceptionalism," a special greatness that sets the U.S.A. apart from all others. But this jingoism requires whitewashing much of U.S. history and ignoring much of the present, too, says Lawrence Davidson.
Right Wing
Confusion Over the First Amendment
Exclusive: The Blunt Amendment went down to a narrow defeat in the Senate on Thursday, but its contention that employers must be allowed to impose their religious beliefs on the medical insurance choices of their employees will remain a hot political topic – one dressed deceptively in the First Amendment, writes Robert Parry.
Israeli Public Less Hawkish on Iran
A new poll shows that Israelis have a more skeptical view toward bombing Iran than some of their leaders, not to mention the neocon war hawks in the United States, a finding that ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar says should bolster President Obama's resistance to an Israeli strike.
Where Romney/Paul Money Trails Cross
The political press corps has puzzled over the strange "bromance" between Republican presidential rivals Mitt Romney and Ron Paul, with all sorts of speculation about why Paul has gone so soft on Romney. However, Mark Ames suggests that perhaps a good place to look is where their financial backers cross, in Salt Lake City.
The 'Winners' Take Everything
Exclusive: Many Americans still wonder how it happened, how did a country admired for its Great Middle Class, which sustained strong democratic institutions, end up with Third-World-style wealth inequality and a democracy to match? In reviewing Winner-Take-All Politics, James DiEugenio seeks an answer.
Santorum 'Throws Up' on JFK/Obama
Exclusive: Rich Santorum says he almost threw up reading John Kennedy's 1960 speech on religious tolerance, and the GOP presidential hopeful sees sinister intent in President Obama's plea that young Americans seek higher education. So, what would a Santorum America be like, asks Robert Parry.
The Roots of US Religious Tolerance
From the Archive: Ex-Sen. Rick Santorum's accusation that President Obama follows a "phony theology," one not "based on the Bible," revives the right-wing notion that the United States must be a "Christian nation" and that "separation of church and state" is a "myth," a topic that Baptist Minister Howard Bess addressed in 2011.
A Dangerous Resolution
Neoconservative Joe Lieberman is leading a group of nearly one-third of the U.S. Senate in demanding that President Obama stop Iran from achieving even a nuclear weapon "capability." But ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar says such loose rhetoric can put the country on a dangerous course toward war.
Madison: Father of the Commerce Clause
Exclusive: The Tea Party has been fueled by the idea that key Founders, like James Madison, opposed a strong central government and thus laws like "Obamacare" are unconstitutional. But Madison was the framer who devised the Commerce Clause upon which health-care and other reforms are based, notes Robert Parry.
Slanting the Case on Iran's Nukes
From the Archive: As the International Atomic Energy Agency clashes with Iran over access to a military site, the U.S. government and mainstream news media are denouncing Iran. But no one recalls the WikiLeaks documents that exposed the bias of the new IAEA leaders, as Robert Parry reported in 2011.

November 27, 2014
March 9, 2007
Officials from several rural towns are telling Governor Tim Kaine that they don't want to see budget cuts to pay for roads in urban areas.
Kaine met with 25 officials and said that he would remove a provision in the bill that pays for transportation bonds with money from the general fund. Kaine says the current plan does not do enough for rural areas.
"The bond proceeds are also distributed in an allocation formula that leaves some of the rural transportation districts with very little, and as people put it, what do we get it out of it in rural Virginia? We might get nothing" said Kaine.
The governor is currently touring the state to talk to local officials about the transportation plan.

I've had my eye on Midwest's Peace Coffee Java Stout for a while and am in need of a brew to start.
It seems to be a popular sell of theirs so I was looking for some reviews from someone whose brewed it or any tips that may have improved this brew.
Most of all I would love to know what the final ABV average was.
Thanks in advance...
Any input on this one??
Was also checking this out.
I have one that's been sitting in primary for about a month. My plan is to give it check this weekend and, if it's ready, move it over to secondary with the beans (hopefully cold brewed). Once I have some results I'll post back here. If you want, I can post my brew day notes here as well.
Well, today is beer day (bottling, transferring 2 to secondaries and brewing), so I thought I'm able to get you some feedback on this one.
I used the kit as it came:
6 lb. Dark liquid malt extract
8 oz. Chocolate Malt
4 oz. Flaked Barley
4 oz. Caramel 60L
4 oz. Roasted Barley specialty grains
1/2 oz. Cascade pellet hops
1 oz. Fuggles pellet hops
1 packet Safale S-04
I started with 3 gal H2O and added the grains to steep at 158 F for 35 min.
Steep finished at 153 F and sat for 5 min
60 min Cascade
30 min Fuggles
15 min Irish Moss (I always use it)
Cooled using ice bath and ice blocks in wort (previously made in GladWare containers)
Pitched yeast @ 70 F
F.G. 1.020 @ 58 F (-.007 correction)= 1.0193
(Supposed to be 1.010-1.012, so I hit lucky #1.020)
Tastes a bit too malty sweet, but has a nice smoothness.
For the coffee, I heeded the advice of others here and did a cold brew. The hope was to avoid adding oils to the beer which is bad for head retention.
I ground the beans and put them into a 2 quart measuring cup and added cold water.
Left in refrigerator for 2 hours.
Pouring into secondary using a strainer to get as much of the grounds out as possible (this was not easy and there is probably a better method).
I put it back in my closet (temporary fermentation cabinet) which holds at about 68 F.
Feel free to ask any questions and I will attempt to answer them.
Hope you like this and that it helps!
Just boiled this yesterday...planning on adding 2.5 vanilla beans to it in a week when I move it to secondary...this is my second batch...hoping for the best.
Sounds good. Post back with your results. I have it sitting in secondary and am hoping to bottle this weekend.
Will do, you too...
Bottled today!!! Overall yield was 53 12oz bottles.
Instructions called for 1 cup H2O and the sugar, but I used 2 cups H2O as one cup seemed too little.
I can definitely taste and smell the coffee, and there is not bitter/harsh flavors that can sometimes happen with cold coffee. Also, I did not see a sheen or other traces of the coffee.
Unfortunately, there is still a sweet taste due to it finishing high. It dropped .006 in secondary, but not enough to help much (.05% ABV change).
Had a tasting of the beer this weekend. I was supposed to try one last week, but was sick, so I ended up having one two nights in a row. First was at 3 weeks carb and the second with four. For me, the carb level is good now at four weeks (that is my winter length).
There is a good roasted aroma with definite coffee notes. The flavor has the same notes as well, however something is wrong (to me) in the aftertaste. Having not tasted this before, I will try and describe it, but may be really off. It might be best described as a slightly sweet sour taste. While I don't like it, SWMBO does. I'm also not a big coffee drinker, and she had us register for 2 different coffee makers.
As a side note, when I looked at my secondary after I added the coffee my first thoughts were that it was infected. However after reading other posts here I believed that it was normal activity and the yeast just reawakening and continuing to ferment. It's possible that I'm wrong and got an infection, but I'm not sure.

A new museum dedicated to the history of Cardiff officially opens today, Friday 1 April.
Told through a number of themes, The Cardiff Story will show how much the city has changed over the last 200 years.
Animal wall ©âThe Cardiff Story
The new museum is located on the site of the iconic Victorian Grade II listed Old Library in the centre of the city, and will be open seven days a week. Entry will be free.
The museum focuses on telling Cardiff's history through the eyes of those who made it - its people. The collection is made up of over 3,000 objects, the vast majority of which has been donated by the Cardiff public, and items range from a cutlass used by the Bute Docks police in the late 19th century to a jukebox from Clwb Ifor Bach.
The museum includes a permanent introductory gallery (Cardiff in Context), a fully interactive lifelong learning suite (City Lab), state of the art classrooms, a community showcase gallery and access to the Grade II listed historic tiled corridor.

We tried to get someone from the museum to come and give a talk at a meeting in Cowbridge, but they couldn't spare anyone. Pity.

Policy keeps some rural doctors from delivery room
The Texas Tribune, June 26, 2013
When Dr. Jeff Alling, a family physician, moved to Wise County more than 20 years ago, he was one of only two doctors in the rural North Texas community qualified to deliver babies. Since then, he has delivered more than 2,000. "I've got 12 little babies that I delivered their mothers 18 or 20 years ago, so I'm kind of on my second generation," he said. But Alling no longer has a place to deliver babies in the county. The community hospital in Bridgeport that he helped found in 2008 merged its obstetrics unit with the Wise Regional Health System in Decatur in March.

Jodi Arias Trial Live Stream: Week 10 Recap, Juror Questions Memory Issues & Prosecutor's Pre-Meditation Questions (WATCH ONLINE)
Watch the live stream of Arias answering more jurors' questions in her murder trial today on Monday, March 11 below.
Jodi Arias took the stand on March 7 for the 2008 Arizona killing of her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander.
The 31-year-old is on trial for murdering Alexander, a 30-year-old Mormon motivational speaker. Arias stabbed her victim 27 times, slit his throat from ear to ear and shot him in the head. His body was discovered the day he was killed: June 4, 2008. Arias lied twice at first about how he was killed and later admitted that she killed him in an act of self-defense.
If Arias is convicted of the murder and the lies that she confessed to, she will likely face the death penalty and become the fourth woman in Arizona's history to die by lethal injection.
Judge Sherry Stephens read more questions from jurors to Arias in the Maricopa County courtroom on March 7. Arizona is one of the few states in the country that allows jurors to question defendants on trial. The process allows jurors to ask questions before they decide her fate- if she will be executed by lethal injection for the gruesome crime. The inquiries are submitted into a box and read aloud by Judge Stephens if they are not objectionable.
When Stephens asked another question by one jury member about her "foggy" memory, Arias referenced the choking incident she testified about earlier in the trial. She said Alexander put his hands around her throat and then she had blacked out.
"Why do you recall the events so clearly?" Stephens asked on behalf on an unnamed juror.
"I recall up to the point where he was choking me and passing out, I had disorientation after I woke up, I had to get my bearings, I wasn't sure where I was," Arias calmly answered. "Then I recognized Travis' bedroom. I wasn't thinking, 'Gosh, Travis just choked me out.' It is not completely clear, I just remember he had his hands around my neck and he was banging my head on the carpet."
"I tried to push him off and then I blacked out. The fog only begins when he starts screaming," she added.
Judge Stephens asked another question from a juror regarding her memory.
"How can you say that you don't have memory issues when you say you can't remember how you stabbed him so many times and slashed his throat?" Stephens asked.
"Well, I think that I have a good memory," Arias answered. "June 4 is an anomaly for me."
After Judge Stephens asked several juror questions, prosecutor Juan Martinez began another round of questioning about one of three gas cans Arias filled up for her road trip from her home in California to Arizona. Arias testified that she borrowed two gas cans from a friend and purchased a third that she later returned. Martinez inquired about it to prove the crime was pre-meditated.
"Why did you show up with three gas cans in Salt Lake City?" Martinez asked, which led to an objection by Arias' defense attorney Kirk Nurmi.
Martinez then presented receipts from Arias' Washington Mutual bank account, according to a report, which proved that she did not return a five gallon gas can to Walmart on June 3. Arias explained she was given her refund in cash and was "surprised" there was no record for proof of purchase and a return on June 3, the day before she killed Alexander.
"I went to Mesa with two gas cans," Arias replied. "I left Ryan's house in the early morning hours (put gas in the car) at 3:37 a.m."
Prosecutor Martinez will pick up where he left off again on Wednesday, March 13.The jurors may submit more questions after she is questioned again by her defense attorneys and the prosecutor.
Watch the live stream of Arias' her murder trial today on Monday, March 11 below beginning at 12:30 p.m. EST.

Assume all civilizations hunger more and more energy, so they will all naturally gravitate toward the most powerful compact power source available: a rotating supermassive black hole, extracting rotational energy from it perhaps by the Penrose process. In this way, they will all become Kardashev Type 3 civilizations.
If this is true, then we would expect that most galaxies to already have their supermassive black holes tapped out. We should not expect to be so lucky as to be seeing a quasar or active galactic nucleus before some civilization taps it. Both quasars and AGN are thought to be powered by the rotational energy of supermassive black holes.
Then, what could the fact that we do see quasars mean?
* There is no intelligent life in the universe, where "intelligent life" means type 3.
* The universe is still too young too see significant galactic and intergalactic conquests. This is especially true for distant quasars which we observe in from the early universe. Perhaps type 3 civilizations occur extremely rarely, far less than 1 per galaxy, and intergalactic travel, needed for the sum of such civilizations to tap most of the supermassive black holes in the universe, is so slow that that it hasn't happened yet.
* Quasars and AGNs are flukes that are perhaps weird or temporary that most type 3 civilizations don't find it worth the effort to tap when their are plenty of other "normal" supermassive black holes out there. Perhaps they are galaxy mergers.
* Extracting energy from supermassive black holes is always so much more difficult than, say, capturing the energy of all the starlight in a galaxy that it is never worth it for a civilization to do. I suppose this is a dark matter theory: there exist dark galaxies, a tremendous number of them, whose light is being mostly harnessed by a civilization, but they still do (of course) show up when accounting for mass. But I think we would still expect to see their heat output.
* There exists some other power source that all civilizations discover that makes tapping supermassive black holes not worth the effort.

Meet the Team: Joe Blancato
What do you do on Star Trek Online?
Im the primary online community representative for the STO. This means I spend a lot of time interacting with our customers over a variety of media, do a lot of behind-the-scenes coordinating and scheduling, and write a lot of the stuff you see on the site. I also occasionally meddle in the affairs of dragons and challenge Craig to duels during our internal play tests.
What Im doing right now (other than answering the questions Im asking myself): Putting together some real information to share with the world about the game. This is a pretty cool project, since I get to spend a lot of time with folks on the dev team that I dont usually get to bug during my normal routine.
How long have you worked in gaming, and what did you do before Star Trek Online?
This is my first industry job where Im actually in a factory helping crank out a game. Before here, I was a game journalist for about five years. Most of my work was as at The Escapist, but I spread things around a little bit.
Who is your favorite Star Trek character and why?
Tough question. As I get older, my answer changes. I used to like Picard and Riker a lot when I was a kid, but now I'm more of a Spock guy. Hes a pretty interesting character. I like that he has to wrestle with his heritage to create a new identity for himself. For example, in the TOS episode Amok Time, he had to go through with Pon farr to respect his Vulcan obligations, but at the end when he found out Kirk was OK he got super emotional. Wow, Im a nerd.
What is an interesting fact about you that players would be surprised to know?
Im actually a huge sports fan. Im more into them than I am into games. In order of preference: baseball, college basketball, Premiership football, pro basketball, American football. (If youre interested: Yankees/UNC/Manchester United/Knicks/Giants.)
If you could choose to be an alien on Star Trek, which species would you want to be?
I would be a lovechild between Quark and Worf. The physics of that aside, I like both characters and think a profit-oriented Klingon would be rad.
Which is cooler: monkeys, robots, pirates or ninjas?
Pirates. No discussion.
What advice do you have for someone who wants to break into the gaming industry?
I got in via the community/journalism thing. I had my own website that got pretty popular and parlayed that into a paying writing job, which got me into the game industry. So Id suggest writing as much as you can about what interests you in the field, going to conventions and making good contacts, and try not to burn any bridges, since the industry is very much like a global Hollywood: Everyone knows everyone, which is good if you do your best to be fair and treat folks right.
What was your first favorite video game?
Gotta go with Ultima Online circa 1999. I had favorites before that, but UO was special in that it really made me understand what games could be. To this day Im still a Richard Garriott and Raph Koster fanboy.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My child is now entering 5th grade. The teachers are very nice but do not challenge the students. The expectations are too low and do not meet common core standards. The school needs to start implementing common core standards in all subjects like the other surrounding districts are doing. Old bridge schools are falling behind.
My son is in 3rd going to 4th grade. I am very happy with this school. He loves it there and as a parent I have never had a problem. The teachers are great and are very dedicated. My son is pretty much a straight A student. I would give a five star but often times I wonder if he could be a bit more challenged. He is very smart and I feel that he doesn't get enough homework. I don't want him to be overwhelmed but I believe he could handle more work. Other than that, I have NO complaints. :)
A year and a half ago, my daughter suffered a serious illness that required an extensive hospital stay. My son's teacher knew that he was going to the hospital to visit right after school on a daily basis. To help alleviate the pressure on us, she would have lunch with my son and help him complete his homework. Also, my son's 9th birthday happened to be the first week my daughter was hospitalized. Several teachers came to the hospital with a cake and presents to help us celebrate. It was the most difficult time in our lives, but we were blessed and comforted by the fact that our son had the full support of his school. This goes way beyond academics. This shows the importance of supporting all of a child's needs. The families from our school all pitched in to help us with meals and expenses. M. Scott Carpenter is so much more than a school-it is a family.
The school is the worst of in the area stuck up teachers.gossips and intrigues.a lot of verbal abuse between students.keep your kids away unless you want them ens up on rydlon
This is the best school in Old Bridge. The all of the staff are awesome. They all treat the children like their own. Their professionalism is unsurpassed by any other. The administrators are the best, they know everything that is happening in their school and the district. The PTA is fantastic, they all care so much for the students. I would not send my children anyplace else!
the teachers are amazing . hey are kind and will go to the end of the earth for the kids education. The school is like one big family . And the teachers teaching skill surpasses any other . Carpenter is the right choice!
They have great principal. The teachers are knowledgeable, but not enough challenges for gifted/talented students. Instrumental music is taught in 5th grade.

Replaced the previous Rachel Dawes, Katie Holmes, in Batman sequel The Dark Knight.
Maggie's been in three of her director-father Stephen Gyllenhaal's films, The Patron Saint of Liars, Homegrown, and Resurrection.
Helped The Dark Knight set a worldwide box office record with the opening-weekend takings hitting $158,411,483.
She's also modelled for Miu Miu and Reebok.
As breakthrough movies go, 2002's clerical spankathon Secretary is one of the best. After an hour and a half of startlingly arousing sadomasochism, FHM can guarantee that the face of Maggie "yes, I'm Jake's brother" Gyllenhaal will be permanently tattooed on the inside of your skull. In a good way. A very good way.
Except that face... there's something about that face. There's a vigorous online debate about Miss Gyllenhall's features – does she look more like a turtle or a granny? It's best not to think about it. Especially when she's getting her buttocks bruised by her iron-palmed boss. No sir. Her other fame-grabbing role was, of course, that of Batman's love interest Rachel Dawes… but try remembering just one of her lines. Go on, try it. Nah, us neither.
