The dish on Long Island's restaurant and food scene
BloggersPeter Gianotti Erica Marcus Joan Reminick Marjorie Robins
Walt Whitman Shops to get 3 new restaurants
Coming to Walt Whitman Shops later this year are three new eateries: P.F. Chang's China Bistro, Brio Tuscan Grille and Zinburger Wine & Burger Bar.
P.F. Chang's, which serves a corporate version of Chinese cuisine, has a branch in Westbury, so it's already a known quantity to most Long Islanders. Zinburger, a casual full-serve restaurant featuring imaginatively composed burgers with wine pairings, is part of an Arizona-based franchise group. Then, there's Brio Tuscan Grille, a chain based in Columbus, Ohio, whose motto — "Italian Food Inspired by Tuscany" — may be called into question by the first item on its dinner menu: "BBQ chicken pizza."
All three restaurants are currently in the early stages of construction. If you drive past, you'll see new structures rising on the front of the mall facing Route 110.
Once opening dates become available, we will update you.

Barex Tricolife Serum
Based on 1 Review
AlissaIndianapolis, INFabulous ProductI am a serum FREAK. I have very fine, limp hair that breaks at the ends if you look at it wrong. I am always looking for the miracle serum, no matter what the cost is. I found this product and I have to say, it is one of the best I have bought, even better than Kerastase. I will actually use all of this product instead of handing it down to my daughter. In fact I love this product so much I am going to try other products in their line. Oh, yeah and the smell is great.8 out of 8 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Nacer Chadli: Tottenham complete FC Twente winger signing
Tottenham have completed the signing of Belgium international winger Nacer Chadli from Dutch club FC Twente.
Spurs have agreed an undisclosed fee, thought to be about £7m, for the 23-year-old, who has won 14 caps.
Chadli is with Spurs in Hong Kong for the Asia Cup, and having agreed terms and passed a medical, could make his debut against Monaco on 3 August.
Needed Nacer
FC Twente won 65% of their Eredivisie matches last season when Nacer Chadli played. Without him, they only won 25%.
Source: Opta Sports
He joined FC Twente from AGOVV Apeldoorn in 2010 and played 106 times for the club, scoring 31 goals.
Two of those strikes came in Champions League matches against Spurs in the 2010-11 season.
Chadli becomes the third Belgian player at White Hart Lane, alongside Mousa Dembele and Jan Vertonghen.
The London club have also sealed the £17m capture of Brazilian international midfielder Paulinho during the close season.

Another Belgian to come to the Premier League, who is young and looks really good! Spurs did need a winger whether Bale goes or not, as they only really have Bale, Lennon and Townsend. Sigurdsson, Dempsey and Holtby have been played there but that means they are out of position. Plus, Lennon has had injury problems so Spurs need more depth in that area. Now, they must focus on acquiring a striker

@650 - UEFA changed the ruling now as well! Grrr
Yeah, it's always Liverpool's fault! ;-)
Wouldn't write off Utd but doubt they can get in Fabregas, Ronaldo or Bale (no chance!) - Rooney wants out and Moyes is a good manager but imo I don't think he's the right man for them.
Hope to see a really competitive league next season from top to bottom - suspect City may run away with it though.

fair play bud - tbh i though u got well stuffed when chel won that CL, never did agree with that ruling. Liverpool shud never av been able to do it either.
time is ripe for another team to replace man u in top 4 anyway. if you can keep bale then you got a very good chance.

TIER FOUR: Level 60 Talents
Death Pact (Score: 8)
Another talent that was "pre-existing". Except in this case, it was a general DK ability shared by all specs. It finds its way here as a talent though, but still available to all specs if desired. This is a strong talent at present as it allows the DK to restore 50% of his health in rapid fashion, so long as he has the runic power to summon a ghoul (or geist if glyphed). With this talent and Raise Dead both on 2 minute timers, this gives a DK tank a solid and somewhat reliable health burst every two minutes if they manage their resources correctly. A very strong talent in its present incarnation.
Death Siphon (Score: 3)
Really, a fairly weak talent from my perspective. Yes, this has the potential to do more healing than listed as it is likely improved by attack power and runeforges. On the downside, a 40 yard range is not usually an issue for a DK tank in encounters and this will likely be a small fraction of health compared to the health totals we'll see in MoP.
Note: Notably absent are any cooldowns and resource requirements for this talent. Likely a mistake on the Blizzard webpage which I ripped this from. Indications from Wowhead show a cost of one death rune and a 1 sec gcd, and scaling to approximately 40% of your attack power.
Conversion (Score: 6)
When I first saw this talent, I was pretty excited as this is an analogue to warrior/druid enraged regeneration. Then I took a look at the other talents it's lined up against and some of its limits, and was a bit disappointed. Going off a little quick mental math, assuming a conversion rate of 10 runic power per second, this will give us a heal of 30% of our health at a minimum. This can, of course, be manipulated with vampiric blood for greater effect, but still, this is less than the 50% afforded through death pact, which can ALSO be increased through vampiric blood.
Also, this has some limitations. It maximizes only upon a full runic power bar, meaning you'll need the bar topped of to max it out. The conversion rate is slow compared to the flash refill of Death Pact. Lastly, this also limits run power generation during its effect. This will prevent Scent of Blood and any other automated runic power generating abilities from adding back to the runic power bar until this exhausts itself.
In the end, it's nice, but not as nice as the guaranteed 50% instant heal from Death Pact.
Note: This is again, another example of homogenization between the classes.
TIER FIVE: Level 75 Talents
Blood Tap (Score: 8)
A nice talent for those who know how to manage their resources or who like to sit on resources and hold them. A nice talent for a conservative player who carefully measures out their strikes or who wants to have a little bit of a fail-safe to fall back on when it comes to resources. The only real downsides are: 1) it's going to take a few rune strikes or death coils to build up and those are dependent on runic power which is generally generated with runes anyway, so it will have that ramp-up time associated with it. 2) .... it'll likely be our rune strikes that generate the resource necessary for it and considering that, it'll likely be 30 seconds or so before you build up enough charges for anything. 3) it's yet ANOTHER resource to manage and keep an eye on on top of our runes AND runic power. How much more crap do we need on our plate? Not that we'll be watching it the whole fight, but I can guarantee DK's will be watching to make sure blood charges are built up and stored up.
In all honesty, this IS a pretty solid talent and expands on the previous version a bit by giving us possibly 2 replenished runes. It just comes with the cost of yet another thing to demand our attention. The real strength of it though it being able to hold something in reserve for a sorely needed Death Strike or other cooldown combination. This would likely be my personal choice due to my play-style, but might not be the best of the talents for this tier.
Runic Empowerment (Score: 3)
Another nice ability for rune management. Again, this plays off of our runic power abilities, but could have much more bang for the buck, depending on the situation. The one thing about it that I'd suggest paying close attention to it that it specifies "a random fully-depleted rune". That worries me for the following reasons.
1) It specifies fully depleted rune. The way runes currently work, both runes of a particular set are linked together and refill as one unit. They don't renew independently of one another as they did back in Wrath. So, you technically will ONLY have a "fully-depleted" rune only when both runes of a set have been utilized. If you deplete only one of the pair, it starts replenishing immediately. So, this talent really only comes in to play when you are exhausting rune pairs completely..... somewhat risky. We usually want to manage our rune and not set ourselves up for "rune blackouts"
2) 45% chance. I say that again... 45% chance. This means our wonderful friend RNG is being brought into play. To be fair, this is a fairly solid chance at 45%, but still, do you really want to pin your resources and potentially your survival to chance. As tanks, we typically go to great lengths to eliminate chance as a factor, yet this talent forces the issue. At best, this COULD be pretty amazing and replenish depleted runes regularly.... but you also run the risk of a rune blackout and hoping that you catch a break. Myself.... I'd rather use my resources wisely, and maybe a little more conservatively.
3) It only procs off rune strikes. If it were off any strike, or even rune-activated ones, it'd be a better gamble. This really limits the conditions which can generate this effect.
So, as this one stands, a better dps talent. Really, not worth the risk for a tank. RNG is generally NOT our friend.
Runic Corruption (Score: 7 .... potentially a 9)
This talent actually gives me a little bit to chew on opposed to Blood Tap. It procs off of the same abilities as the other two of this tier, but the advantage to this talent is that it affects a global increase in replenishment rate for all runes. On the downside, it still relies on RNG, which I'm not inclined to favor, but again, as this could hasten the replenishment of our full set of runes, this has the potential to be amazingly good. Over the course of a long fight, this could generate a significant increase in available runes for a DK. It's certainly better than runic empowerment, which depends on there existing a fully-depleted rune. My only hesitation with it lies in the fact that it doesn't give us an "on-demand" fail-safe like Blood Tap does.
I would advise this talent for a DK that has a more aggressive play-style and maybe has room-to-breath, so to speak, when it comes to tanking. It certainly is an appealing talent and might be one of the strongest talents available to us in MoP. This tier will be one that I'll be experimenting with and will hopefully have some logs to bring to the table for examination.

Mark Webber may have been assured that he is in the running for a race seat at Red Bull in 2014, but a report is linking him with a move away from Formula One.
Red Bull team owner Dietrich Mateschitz has made it clear that the Australian is one of the candidates for next year despite the recent controversy at Malaysia where team-mate Sebastian Vettel ignored team orders to overtake Webber.
"Whether he retires, only he will choose, but Mark is definitely a candidate for 2014," Mateschitz told Germany's Speedweek.
Webber, though, may not stay in Formula One next year as he Germany's Bild claims he is in talks with Porsche to spearhead their return to Le Mans in 2014.
The F1 veteran took part in the 1998 and 1999 Le Mans with Mercedes, but he could be behind the wheel of the new LMP1 sportscar at next year's race if the German marque has its way.

Clean More Efficiently with Central Vacuum Systems
Central vacuum systems provide the power you need to clean deep down into the carpet and lift away dirt. Sears offers an entire inventory of name brand central vacuum systems from makers like PowerStar and Dirt Devil. In addition to their cyclonic technology that penetrates the carpet, these vacuums don't require bags, so you can empty the contents directly in a trash can. Rinse the canister to remove dirt and dust particles, and then reattach it to continue vacuuming. With a PowerStar central vacuum system, you can remove 100 percent of dust allergens and spores with its HEPA filter.
A central vacuum system typically weighs less than an upright vacuum, and it appears quieter when vacuuming the floors. Some bagless upright vacuums such as the Dyson Ball feature the same cyclonic technology as a central vacuum system. The Kenmore Progressive upright also features the HEPA filtration system that eliminates allergens. You have the choice between bagged and bagless upright vacuums as well as manual and self-propelled models from Hoover. Some uprights have wider vacuum heads for covering more space at a time, so that feature comes in handy if you have large carpeted rooms.
If you have to replace the carpet in your room, then you need the proper installation tools to secure the carpet in place. Some tools you should consider include a Roberts seam roller, a trimmer and a knee kicker. The seam roller helps you to form tighter seams between carpet rolls, and the trimmer helps you to cut the carpet into place. Use a knee kicker to butt the carpet tightly against the wall. An extendible floor roller proves beneficial for smoothing and leveling any bumps that form over the carpet's surface.
Anytime you use woodworking tools that release dust and particles into the air, attach dust collectors to your machinery. Depending on the floor's condition, you may have to replace floorboards before you can lay down new carpet. Use a dust collection system on your woodworking tools to reduce the amount of dust in the air and around your workspace. Powermatic dust collectors attach to almost any woodworking tool, which includes table saws and wood planers. To clean up any excess dust around your workspace, use a Craftsman wet-dry vac.
Central vacuum systems work quietly and powerfully to lift away dirt and debris from deep within your carpet. Upright vacuums provide complete portability and feature some of the same technology as central vacuum systems. Use rollers and kickers to install new carpet, and minimize dust in your workspace with a dust collection system. Shop at Sears when you need affordable vacuum systems, tools and accessories for your home.

Continuity and Change
I've just spent a few minutes taking in this blog feed - it's been a while since I visited and it's amazing how many new bloggers and topics you can find here. Well done everyone!
My own contributions have been more sporadic, and for that, dear reader, I hope you'll forgive me.
Even though a lot has been going on here at St Fagans, most of it has been behind the scenes - and not the interesting, 'sneaky peek' behind the scenes either. Nope, it's been large grids and even larger bits of paper; evaluation, planning and decision-making. Nothing to write home about maybe (although my mother does love those letters*) - but the results of this hard work will start to show on-site very soon.
We've completed a fair bit of infrastructure work, audited our sprawling, wooded site for 3G and wi-fi capability, and worked with an access consultant to learn more about how to open up the site to a wider variety of peoples. I can't wait to see how we implement what we've learned.
The aim is to keep that special something that makes St Fagans such a draw to visitors from all over the world, and to improve the facilities as well. We want to do this is a way which is open and participatory, so our committee room doors have flung open to welcome new youth, teacher and craft forums, to name a few. The galleries are also getting a complete re-vamp, and I'm very curious to see what my colleagues have come up with for the new display.
Meantime, I would like to keep you updated as the project develops - the question is how?
Do I write more about our current buildings' history? Or show you the new ones as they appear?
The big stories, or the everyday wonders? How about our future plans for sleepovers and performances? More Tudors? Less Tudors? Fewer Tudors?
I'm a firm believer that if you don't know, you should ask. So, to practise what I preach:
- What would you like to see on this blog?
Pop your suggestions in the comments - I look forward to hearing from you.

ExArc 2013 Conference
It's been a while since I last blogged from St Fagans - there's been a glitch in the matrix and we still haven't quite got to the bottom of it. But we'll get there.
That's one way of apologising that there won't be any pictures with this post. Anyway, onwards:
This week, Museum Wales and Cardiff University will be hosting the annual ExArc conference. ExArc, in this context, refers to Experimental Archaeology; a hands-on approach to learning about the past, which looks at the 'how?' of history, as well as the 'when?'.
ExArcers' work is in raw materials, painstaking detail and learning from mistakes as well as triumphs. The research they take part in can range from bronze-casting or iron-smelting using rudimentary tools; to recreating underwear or researching the practicalities of life in the past.
I have been lucky enough to learn a lot from ExArcers over the last few years, and so am very proud that St Fagans will feature in their visit down to Cardiff. We're known here for our hands-on approach, and I suspect we could learn an awful lot from these trailblazers!
While the conference is completely full, you can follow the discussion online using the hashtag #eauk2013.
The twitter stream is already full of interesting people, travelling here from all around as I type. If you're planning to attend, please do come and say hello. You will know me by my, erm, museum name badge?

Open Doors: A Tour of St Teilo's Original Wall-paintings
We have a limited amount of places left on a very special event - and I thought I'd give you loyal readers first dibs!
I will be taking a small group behind the scenes to look at some very fragile, very rare fragments of Tudor-era wall-paintings. Painted around 1500, they were moved to the museum when we moved St Teilo's Church from Pontarddulais. You can see replicas of these paintings on the walls of the reconstructed church today. If you've ever wondered what the originals look like, then this is the workshop for you!
A few have been on display in the past, but this tour will provide unprecedented access to the paintings in their dormant state, as well as a chance to learn how, and why, we removed them.
The tour takes place on the 25th of September. The morning session will look at St Teilo's as it stands today, running from 11:00 to 13:00. The afternoon session will take you into the stores, and will take place between 14:00 and 16:00. Numbers are very limited so booking is essential. Phone (029) 20 57 35 29 to claim your place!

Radio 2 Arts Show - tonight
Twice in one week? Just a quick post before I succumb to blog fever:
On tuesday, I visited the BBC in Llandaf to talk a bit about my work, and St Fagans in general, for the Radio 2 Arts Show. This week, Penny Smith is standing in for Claudia Winkleman, so it's a good job I decided to forego the nude-coloured-lipstick tribute I had planned. The interview was conducted across the BBC aether - me in front of a box of very compelling lights and buttons, them in a padded room in London - and so I did end up feeling overdressed all the same.
Anyway, we had great fun, even though the question of the Welsh language's perceived lack of vowels did come up, which can sometimes lead to a leap in my blood pressure. I consider it a public service to have tackled that myth with grace and aplomb. Tune in to see if you agree!
Making blogs while the sun shines
Reading back over my entries, it seems I only really like posting here when the sun is shining! It's another beautiful day at St Fagans and it seemed only right to fire up the blogging engine and start writing.
You'll find us in a very cheerful mood at the moment: after many months of working collaboratively, we handed in a dossier as thick as a loaf of bara brith to the Heritage Lottery Foundation. They, in turn, pored over it and decided to award St Fagans with a whopping grant of £11.5 million, to fund its redevelopment. We still have a few quid to raise in order to reach our goal, and so the '£1 appeal' was launched last week. Its message? If you've got a pound to spare, then we promise to do something amazing with it!
Our plans for the future, while unbelievably detailed, still seem a bit distant and unreal - but soon enough, you'll start to see the site start to change. The museum, as an entity, will change, too - and we hope you'll come along with us for the ride. We want to open up how we work, and give people from all walks of life a chance to take part in the day-to-day life of the museum.
At the moment, though, it's business as usual.
My Tudor Plant walks went off without a hitch (and by hitch I mean rain and slugs). I was joined by students from England, France, Germany and Japan, as well as a couple of English/Welsh/Spanish families. I was a linguist in a former life and so dredged as much vocabulary as I could from the back of my mind, so that everyone could follow the tour. We tasted and smelled our way around the gardens, where 16th century varieties still grow. We usually discourage people from picking plants while they're here, to leave enough for our furry/feathered residents - but on this occasion, we were allowed to have a nibble here and there. Thankfully, Bernice and Paul from the gardens department have been kind enough to teach me which ones to eat, and which to avoid!
Yesterday, I met with students from Cardiff University yesterday, to talk about how we can use information and objects from excavations to engage the public. We looked at all sorts of things: from the pigments on the church walls to cauldrons and Tudor toilet-seats. This morning, I helped Sian and Ian take eighty-four (we counted) cardboard shields up to the Celtic Village for a painting workshop.
The reason I find myself in the office is because I am preparing a lecture for the Eisteddfod. I'm honoured to be speaking, and want to make sure I show off St Fagans in its best light! The topic of the talk will be murals from the Vale of Glamorgan - reading about all these little fragments has me keen to traipse around a graveyard with my camera pretty soon.
I hope you're enjoying this sunny spell - if you're thinking of coming to see us, then have a look here for our upcoming events. If you're coming by bus, remember that, as well as the number 32, you can now catch a band new shuttle bus, the number 5, which takes you from the steps of the National Museum in Cardiff, right to our front door.
PS: next time there'll be pictures, I promise!

Brick by Brick (stone by stone)
Fans of craftspeople, rejoice!
Our very own Haverfordwest House has been given a TV special: 'Brick by Brick' with Dan Cruickshank, which plays out on BBC2 at 9pm tonight (9.30 on BBC2 Wales).
The project has been a slow-burner, not least because the building, when removed from its original location in Haverfordwest, lacked a fourth retaining wall. If you've ever wondered how on earth we do what we do at St Fagans, then this is the programme for you. Follow the link below for a flavour of what's to come:
'Brick by Brick' - Charlie builds a vault.
The building is in the last stages of drying out, which means we'll have to wait a little while longer to furnish it permanently. To satisfy your curiosity, however, we're holding a preview opening this weekend, between 10 and 5. I'll keep you posted about our progress - in the meantime, if you've got any questions about the building, or the show, leave 'em here for me in the comments!

Mapping Hendre'r Ywydd
A quick post just to show you this map I've been working on, which is an attempt to explore the 1500s landscape of Llangynhafal and beyond.
You'll find pinpoints to buildings nearby which could have been standing at the same time as our Hendre'r Ywydd. It is an incomplete map, but it will evolve, I hope. To make it, I combined public domain data from Coflein, Ordnance Survey, the St Fagans Archive, google and the North Wales Dendrochronology Project*.
I hope to add more information about the buildings themselves, including photos and dating, as I find it. I should also note that the captions in Welsh will be translated as the map progresses.
You can use the zoom tool to travel outwards from Hendre'r Ywydd's original site:

Finding Hendre'r Ywydd
I have grown very fond of Hendre'r Ywydd Uchaf. I can smell wood-smoke in the office and it's got me looking forward to Spring, when I'll hopefully be spending more time there, getting to know the building from the inside out. Even if you have visited St Fagans many times, you may not have stayed a long while in there. It is quite a bare building, partly due to the fact that furniture from its period of construction - the early 1500s - need more TLC than can be provided in an outdoor display, and so are tended to in the galleries. Also, there's no chimney, so it can be quite a troublesome building to work with, and even visit, if the smoke is not behaving as it ought to.
It's a timber-framed building, moved here from Denbighshire in the 1960s but lived in, quite comfortably it seems, until 1954. I hope to find out more about the place, and how it was used, by using a variety of skills and sources. After cooking and interpreting in there over the summer, I'm really looking forward to getting my hands dirty and seeing how it works as an Early Tudor household.
Moving headlong into a Tudor way of life at this time of year may be ill-advised (especially since I have no saltfish and this year's attempt at storing apples has been fuzzier than anticipated), so I'm taking the time to pore over sources relating to the building and its original context.
There's so much material to explore. Scholars and local historians have written widely on a range of families, buildings, industries and events from Denbighshire in the Early Modern period. I have on my desk a great big pile of articles, ready to be marked with pink and yellow stripes. But you've got to start somewhere. I decided first to find the building's original location.
Hendre'r Ywydd was originally built in the parish of Llangynhafal, near Rhuthun. I am quite familiar with the area, but had never been able to put my finger on the house's original site; remembering instead the high hedges and spaghetti-thin roads of Dyffryn Clwyd. Thankfully, for every building we move, we create an archive of its context and original location. These archives are usually second-to-none:
Unfortunately, on this occasion, our forebears did not think to leave enough clues in there to allow for easy pinpointing. Rifling through photos of cruck frames, cow stalls and hazel matting, I came across two shadows of evidence. A copy of a copy of a copy of an 1830s tithe map with no scale, and a transparency with no key. Both featured a strip of land which tapered at one end. This was where, in 1508, Hendre'r Ywydd Uchaf was built.
It takes a while to get your eye in, so I google-mapped the parish to see if there were any surviving field systems like the one featured on both maps. Going in cold was a bad idea.
I resolved to have another go once I'd chipped away a little more. It was tempting to rely on google maps for place names and postcodes, but our landscape has changed so much, and in fits and starts, since 1500, that the information was of no use for this particular task. Or at least, if the information looked useful, there would be no simple way of checking its veracity. I stared at the shapes on the tracing, trying to memorise the placement of streams, trackways and field systems.
In the midst of all these abstract shapes, I called to mind another thread of research I'd been doing, using the Royal Commission's Coflein Database. In trying to build up a bit of context, I've been looking at other surviving houses from the area, reading up on their construction and dating. Coflein supplies you with an OS grid reference for every recorded historic building and monument in Wales. You can look at the Coflein archive for Hendre'r Ywydd here.
I still had in my possession a grab-bag of data. Some abstract shapes, some numbers and some very powerful satellite data courtesy of google and NASA. Thankfully, I didn't have to go far in order to make sense of it. Our library at St Fagans has a cache of Ordnance Survey maps, and the grid reference narrowed it down substantially, as you'd expect. The detail of their maps is mesmerising, and after some careful examination and help from our Curator of Historic Buildings, we pinpointed the location, in amongst a few other houses, confusingly also called Hendre'r Ywydd.
On closer inspection, someone possessing a disregard for conventional, proper, archive-based behaviour been there before us and marked the map with a tiny blob of red ink.
When I had been brought round with some smelling-salts, I applied the information I'd gathered to the satellite map, and was finally able to find that little strip of land. It's still intact, to a degree, and still maintains a tapered side, as we see on the map. The road twists slightly just as it does in the drawings:
The last thing I wanted to do, after this, was pay it a visit. I find the house replaced with a field of corn. Uninspiring as it may appear, this is where I happily find my feet, as I venture into 1500s Denbighshire.

Taking stock
What a season it's been. Thanks to the presence of the 'Making History 1500-1700' exhibition, we've been able to push the boat out a little bit for our Tudor and Stuart events, aided by a small army (and an actual Regiment) of re-enactors, social historians and volunteers.
We've been visited by pipers, skinners, barber-surgeons, nurses, herbalists, musketeers, pikemen, a Tudor beauty expert, an Elizabethan noblewoman and her maid, timber trebuchet-testers, longbowmen, feasters, revellers, rebels, preachers and even children suffering from plague! Some had never been to St Fagans before, and so I hope we'll see them again. I'm absolutely shattered but delighted to have learned so much during such a busy time of year.
My favourite sessions of the season were 'Tudor Tastes', in which social historians Sally Pointer, Suzanne Churchill and I tried out some bona fide 1500s recipes, on the hearth in Hendre'r Ywydd Uchaf. We ate very well but I must admit I'm glad we didn't get round to cooking the Turnip Pudding this time around.
Close second to our 'Tudor Tastes' session were my foray into sporting history, exploring all sorts of extinct and frankly lethal sport with young people from Wales, Poland, Germany and France. The sessions were simultaneously translated into three languages - having been a linguist in a previous life, I was amazed at how we managed to share so much with each other as a group. Unfortunately, my Welsh wrestling demonstration skills weren't quite up to scratch; but helpfully, the pig's bladder ball gave us plenty to talk about.
There are so many other sessions I'd love to put on my podium - but there's not a lot of time to dwell on them. This afternoon, we prepare to start the whole process again, as we fill the calendar for 2012 and 2013. I've got a few ideas up my sleeve - I'll let you know if they make the grade!

The Battle of St Fagans
We welcomed the English Civil War Society last weekend, to explore the Battle of St Fagans, which took place near the museum in 1648. They brought with them not only a fair amount of weaponry (as you'd expect), but an amazing number of skills and objects to demonstrate. I think a list would be a bit boring, so here are some photo higlights from the week-end. Thanks to Alcwyn Evans for taking the photos, I was busy protecting the church from reforming zealots!

Since our last sojourn together the Intelligence Community (IC) continues to be a "target rich" environment for controversy and contemplation.
As the last MAZINT was being posted Director of National Intelligence DNI) Clapper was being derided and chastised for assessing that the conflict in Libya could devolve into a stalemate. Given how things had transpired in Tunisia and Egypt along with the Obama Administration's policy decision to militarily support the Libyan rebels for humanitarian reasons the DNI was apparently wrong about the facts and in conflict with national policy. This stalemate assessment, however, has turned out to be real a "truth to power" moment that has largely gone unrecognized except for a CNN Op-ed by Mike Hayden.
Meanwhile the beltway rumor mill has been in full production over Leon Panetta leaving CIA to replace Bob Gates as Secretary of Defense and General David Patreaus falling in behind Panetta at Langley. Beats me if there is any validity to these seemingly creditable and circular reports, but if things do shake out with Patreaus becoming CIA Director this will be the first time that an incumbent DNI would have the opportunity to "name" the CIA Director. So far all four DNI's have "inherited" the CIA Directors who "serve" them. Another interesting aspect is whether Patreaus would remain on active duty as Director CIA.
Great discussion JOEMAZ.
As we all know it gets down to two critical elements - first having the best intelligence/information available at that moment of action and getting it to those who can act - hence the term "actionable intelligence" which we coined in the DCI's office within DCID's 1/6 & 5/7 back in 1996 in support of the Bosnia crisis. And then the terms or limitations of current Rules of Engagement (ROE) in that sector. And it is the DOD/IC/NSC leaderships' and the entire systems' central challenge and responsibility to be working both continuously in support of all forces at all levels of war, conflict and crisis. And this has been the case - always.
Joe, Great discussion on an enduring challenge. It would be interesting to see the comparison between the resources we put towards the platforms for ISR and C2 systems versus what we spend for process development and training. In my experience it's these latter two elements combined with "pre-approved responses" that provide the best results in timely and effective engagements. We, the IC, also don't focus enough on managing the entire cycle of intelligence. "Collection Management" is not enough. I really like the approach being taken by Capt Bruce Loveless at the PACOM JIOC where he has put together an "Intelligence Mision Management Center;" a team of experts to measure, monitor and manage collection, analysis, dissemination and results for the theater. It's an investment that's already paid off in supporting the disaster in Japan.
Mazz, Great article as usual. Very thought provoking. I'm surprised however how you avoided addressing one of the more salient issues...trust, or more accurately, the lack of trust higher ups have in the intelligence they receive, inevitably resulting in endless cycles of verification and validation. While not a simple dynamic, higher echelons of command on average are far more concerned with third and fourth order effects than they are in responding to anything in real time. I'm not saying they aren't concerned with US casualties, nor am I saying they aren't concerned with missing an opportunity. They are just far more concerned with whether their decision to pull the trigger results in dispatching individuals whose deaths can come back to haunt them in some form or fashion. I've always found it both frustrating and sad that we train our young officers and fighting men to be decisive and aggressive, and to take the fight to the enemy. Yet as they climb the ladder of rank and responsibility, we reward them for being more and more political and risk averse. Those that somehow avoid this pattern are routinely labled "mavericks" and shunted aside the first time they trip up. McCrystal is one such example.
Joe, this sounds like Vietnam all over again. Before, you had Johnson and McNamara micro-managing the war from air-conditioned suites, while the grunts were dodging bullets and missiles, and bleeding blood due to delays of response and action. Now, you have remote authority deciding what and if any action should occur. If they have live time intelligence, they should take live time action. Military battles are not won by the meek, nor by delayed intellectual thought processes they are won by forces with guts. Collateral damage happens; and it is part of war. Politicians, and those outside the arena of combat must accept that fact.
Terry, Tony, Keith, Lynn thank you all for enriching this discussion with value added points.
Knowing you all I know you understand the conundrum of real time intelligence: by its very nature it is ambiguous and incomplete which makes it of marginal value in a counter insurgency where killing/detaining/helping the right people is the operational goal of this strategy. Bing does not develop this very well in "THE WRONG WAR" But all of you help illuminate this critical point for those spinning up ISR requirements and capabilities as well as those who have make funding decisions Thank You! joemaz
How different is this ISR issue than what occurred in Vietnam or aboard ships with DSE's aboard providing "actionable intelligence" directly to the Commanding Officer in near-realtime? I recollect DSE experiences where the ability to put weapons-on-target was the real deal. Is a bureaucacy issue shrouded by ROE, a matter of trust at the senior enlisted/junior officer level?
Ivan, the point you raise about DSE's was naturally on my mind when I wrote this blog. I believe there are difference that account for the C2 latency describe in the "Wrong War" First the DSE was a "sensor" organic to the ship; the UAV is a theater asset. Second Vietnam was a hybrid force on force and guerrilla fight and not a conter insurgency where killing, detaining, or helping the wrong people means you lose joemaz
Great article Joe & Thanks for the insights!
You are cleared to FIRE for Effect!
Thanks Lunny! You keep me focused joemaz

"I cannot recommend Keith and KSC Crystals highly enough! He goes to great lengths to source the very best quality crystals which he sells at the very best prices. He is knowledgeable and enthusiastic and he has an obvious love of the mineral kingdom - this is seen in every aspect of the service which he provides. Even though I live on the East Coast of the UK and work in Nottingham (which means lots of travel), I still order from Keith in Manchester because of his passion, the quality of his crystals and the level of service that he provides. You can rely on him to choose crystals for you, so there is no need to visit him if travel is a problem. (even though there is a crystal shop in my town, I still choose to shop at KSC Crystals) Also, not everything that he has in stock is on the website yet, so you can always call him if you are looking for something in particular. What more can I say? If you love crystals, you will love KSC Crystals.

Kraus GV-101 Clear Glass Sink Collection
Contrary to popular belief, Kraus glass sinks are durable and hardy, and are well-suited for home bathrooms that endure high traffic volume. Tempered glass is a trusted material that has proven to be 3 to 6 times stronger than regular glass. Kraus bathroom sinks undergo a distinct manufacturing process that involves the extreme heating and rapid cooling of inorganic particles to produce a solid interior and exterior. This certified make qualifies the GV-101 as a family-friendly model that can withstand daily use in a busy household.
Stylistically, the Kraus GV-101 Clear glass sink exhibits a matte green hue that offers a faint hint of glamor while still upholding an impression of simplicity. Homeowners can illuminate the sink's green tint by pairing it with a yellow metal faucet for a lively look, or subtly offset the green with a silver metal faucet for a more clean and neat finish. Kraus bathroom combo deals offer both yellow and silver metal faucet pairings to provide shoppers with the option of variety. Kraus bathroom faucets are all made to feature a single-lever handle design that parallels the overall modernistic allure of the GV-101 Clear glass sink.
Available in either a clear or frosted tint, and in diameters ranging from 14 inches to 17 inches with corresponding thicknesses of 12 mm and 19 mm, the GV-101 Clear glass sink is exceptionally versatile and can be used in just about any modern bathroom decor.

Good question.
I don't think there is a hard and fast rule here. If you both enjoy conversing back and forth, go for it. The worse thing that happens is that she says no thanks or maybe at a later time. I would go with something like "I really enjoy conversing with you. Would you be open to me calling you?" Hope that helps! Good luck.
Honestly I agree that there is no hard and fast rule. It should be something that you can tell based on your communications with her. If you have been communicating for a while then you should be able to tell if she would be receptive to your asking for her number. I do think though (I am a very old fashioned girl) that it should be the guy that makes that the move to take the communication to the next level. So talk to her and learn to feel it out. That is going to help both in dating and in marriage.
If this is the same girl. I just have to say BOY IS SHE SPECIAL. You better be asking her for her phone number at this point. Good luck.
When you feel like talking to her.
If you both seem interested in getting to know each other, I'd say the sooner the better. You don't have to talk every day, but one phone call at least will be helpful. I would think that would be better than wasting time on the computer. If things go well on that call, maybe the next time you can ask her to meet you somewhere for coffee, or a walk (if you live close to each other that is.) If you don't really connect well , then at least you know.
I usually ask upfront as to what method of communication she feels most comfortable with. ( e.g. cell, email, text, cm message ect.) It seems to work. That way you do not lock yourself in and she does not feel pressure to giving out a phone number). BTW skype / yahoo messenger is great for first contact.
If you've been in touch with the same lady, and the messages are flowing smoothly, ask away at the earliest time possible! I had one gentleman ask within days of sending messages back and forth, and I was open to it. Of course, if she's a little nervous about someone having her number, she may ask for yours, instead, but I think that, for the most part, a lady likes to give out her number to let the gentleman call.
This is a very good question, John. I think a guy should ask for her phone number after they have emailed back and forth a few times and he finds he still is interested in getting to know her. All this texting and emailing is void of emotion and a very difficult way to really discern who the other person really is. Phone calls allow both parties to hear the inflection in the other person's voice and be able to get to know the individual a bit better. But, I also think after a few weeks of phone calls they ought to meet one another face to face. What may be a great Internet relationship or a great phone relationship could be a disaster in person relationship and the only way to know if the time your are spending could produce positive results is to progress to an in person meeting. Building a wonderful email and/or phone relationship that will go no where once you meet the person in person may take time away from a relationship with someone with whom you can enjoy a wonderful, meaningful "in person" relationship.
Just my thoughts on the matter. Will look forward to other responses.

Next M3 may be lighter than expected, with lots more torque
by George Kennedy (RSS feed) on Oct 5th, 2012 at 10:44AM
Few cars stir up the rumormill quite like the next BMW M3. To that end, BMW fan-site BimmerPost was able to track down a source, apparently tied to the development of the next M3 (and M4), who divulged a few juicy bits on power, weight and timing. Horsepower in the F80 M3 and F82 M4 is said to be close to that of the E90/E92, which was rated at 414 hp. This contrasts with previous reports that had horsepower pegged closer to 450. It should also be noted that BMW has been known to underrate the horsepower values for its engines. That said, the new turbocharged straight-six will supposedly... Read More

skin 5 vintage jean
by ACNE STUDIOS
Acne (Ambition to Create Novel Expression) is a creative collective founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1996. The collective became established as a clothing line in 1997, when co-founder Jonny Johansson created 100 pairs of jeans in raw denim with red stitching and distributed them to friends throughout Stockholm. These novel jeans became the foundation of the brand and lead to the launch of Acne Studios' first full collection in 1998. The concept behind the line is a tone of subtle luxury in understated styles feeling as though they were borrowed from another person's wardrobe. Each piece in the collection is simplistic yet stands out on its own while pairing easily with others.Back To Product View All From This Designer

Excerpted from: From Misery to Enlightenment #19
"Your life is your life, and it can be lived only one way; there is no other alternative. And the only way that it can be lived has to be found by you. It is not all ready like a super-highway, ready-made, with millions of people moving on it, going towards their goal, and you have just to join the crowd.
"No, there is no super-highway to existence.
"There are only small footpaths which are walked in total aloneness.
"And remember, even those footpaths are not ready-made, available for you so that you can go on number eleven footpath. They don't exist other than when you walk upon them; it is through walking you create them. It is a very beautiful and mysterious way life has, that it does not make you like a railway train which runs on rails. A railway has no choice, it cannot just go anywhere it likes. Those rails are fixed, somebody else determines them. Those rails are the destiny the train simply moves according to somebody else's dictates.
"Man has no destiny although you have been told for thousands of years that you have a destiny.
"This is what I call the way of the cunning, deceiving, exploiting people. Now when it is said to you that man has a destiny, you never think of a railway train. Only railway trains have destinations, stations. But beautiful words can go on hiding ugly realities. 'Man has a destiny' I have been hearing it from my childhood, and I have been saying each time it has been mentioned by somebody in some way, 'Please don't insult me.'
"When I said this to one of my professors, he was shocked. He said, 'I am not insulting you. To have a destiny is not an insult, it is the most honorable thing in life.'
"I said, 'It may be for you because you don't understand what you are saying. Destiny means predetermined; my tomorrow is already predetermined by somebody. I have not even been consulted as if it is none of my concern, I am nobody, just some playing cards in somebody's hands; whatsoever he wants he makes out of me. Whatever game he plays, that is my destiny. And this is thought to be respectful?'
"And the professor was not saying something crazy. That is what is thought all around the world. I said, 'I can understand why you are shocked, because you have never thought about the word destiny. How can I have a destiny? I have not determined it. Then who is the guy who determines it? And what right has he got to determine it? He has not even asked me. I don't know him, we have not even been introduced. Just for courtesy's sake he could have asked me,'This is going to be your destiny do you like it or not?' But nobody has even bothered that much.'
"Man has no destiny." Osho

I employed them as an oblique reference to what I perceive as their overuse and misuse. Mr. Bates' response points up the strong reactions they evoke--confirmation he and I have common ground--and I respect him for pointing out my poor judgment.
Truth is truth, whether one accepts it as such or not. Truth is, there is one true God in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The fool in his heart says there is no God. I choose to not be so foolish as to deny or reject or mock God.
God is omniscient, all knowing; omnipotent, all powerful; and omnipresent, simultaneously everywhere and every when as well. To acknowledge God seems to be a very wise thing indeed. There is a vast resource of power, strength, knowledge, wisdom, truth, love, and peace in God. That resource is available to those who recognize and acknowledge God. Seems like a very positive advantage to me. That advantage can be had in any or all aspects of our lives if we acknowledge God.
Seems to me to invoke God at our local government meetings or our service club meetings or our breakfast tables or our daily commutes or tasks is a wise thing to do. Why not have the ultimate power in the universe by one's side at any and all aspects of one's life?
I don't believe Allen Springer's actions are to proselytize or convert or preach the Gospel. I think he is wisely asking for God's presence and God's guidance in our commissioner's meetings for the benefit of all. Seems to be a real positive action to bring to the table.

Making people stand to pray is ridiculous and divisive.
I'm surprised he doesn't make them kneel. Or grovel. How about some teeth-gnashing? Talking in tongues...rattlesnake handling...
I don't know how well Lulu actually knows the commissioner, but she seems unrestrained in casting judgements against him. If Lulu truly believes that, "Making people stand, and in so doing declaring their unanimity with Springer and his dictates, remains the issue here.", I would suggest perhaps communicating that specific concern directly with Commissioner Springer and the other board members. Regardless of Lulu's denunciation of the chair, I don't believe Mr. Springer is so unreasonable that he wouldn't consider allowing people to remain seated for an invocation.
But, Lulu may have far greater powers of divination into the mind of Allen Springer than he - or any of the rest of us - could imagine.
Yes, Sponge, Springer will certainly not smite people opting not to stand, but we all know what such behavior silently communicates. With apologies to the movie "Freaks," it suggests they're not "one of us."
Zounds, methinks this argument has grown circular.
