Beer Tours: Beers Around the World (Showcase)
September 5th, 2013 by Scott in Beer Tours, Walt Disney World Locations
Last updated May 6, 2014
Drinking around the world at Epcot. It's become almost an attraction in itself over the years, but what if you're interested in drinking beer around the world instead of all those frou-frou drinks?
The good news is all of the World Showcase pavilions serve beer. However, not all of them are the greatest. This guide endeavors to help you drink the better beers where possible. Unfortunately, there will be some swill to swallow if you truly want to drink beer at each World Showcase location.
You could either start at Mexico or Canada; going counter-clockwise starting with Canada will generally put the better beer at the beginning of your trip (and the later beers less memorable), so the official order will start with Canada. If you'd rather start in Mexico, just follow this guide in reverse.
1. Canada
The Canada Beer Cart should be your first stop. Since the 2013 Food and Wine Festival ended, the Canada pavilion has kept Unibroue La Fin du Monde, Trois Pistoles, and Éphémère out at the beer cart. The simplest option would be to grab one of these and start drinking! Éphémère is light and fruity, while Trois Pistoles is a darker beer. La Fin du Monde is also a favorite and the 2013 Disney Beer Tournament Champion!
For bonus points, Le Cellier serves three additional Unibroue beers! You can't really go wrong with any of the Unibroue beers.
Take in a showing of "O Canada!" featuring Franck Eggelhoffer!
2. United Kingdom
A Bass Ale or Harp Lager at the Yorkshire County Fish Shop might be a nice way to have a drink in the UK pavilion. For the more adventurous, head into the Rose & Crown and order a beer blend! Jenn especially enjoys a Black Velvet made with half Guinness and half Strongbow Cider.
3. France
The newly refurbished Les Halles Boulangerie & Patisserie is our next stop on the tour. Kronenbourg 1664 is the only French beer served in the pavilion; enjoy a pastry along with your beer at the bakery!
4. Morocco
Morocco's beer selection is a little better than it used to be thanks to the opening of Spice Road Table, but not much. Six more beers are available in Morocco now, but none of them are particularly thrilling. If you're looking for a native beer Casa is still the only beer that's from Morocco. All the new Spice Road Table beers are from other Mediterranean nations. Let's face it, as far as quality is concerned Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat is still probably your best choice. You can find it at Tangerine Café or the Morocco Beer Cart.
While you're in Morocco, enjoy Mo'Rockin!
5. Japan
Japan has a somewhat hidden location with the best beer of the pavilion. In the back of Mitsukoshi is a sake bar known as the Garden House. Here you can find a beer called Ginga Kogen, a Japanese hefeweizen that's definitely not your usual Sapporo or Kirin Ichiban.
There's lots to look at (and buy) in Mitsukoshi, or head outside and watch Matsuriza pound on their Taiko drums under the pagoda.
6. The American Adventure
Until recently, The American Adventure didn't serve many microbrews. However, Liberty Inn's menu changed recently and picked up Anchor Brewing Liberty Ale and Sweetwater IPA. The new Block and Hans stand also sells a variety of good beer including Victory Golden Monkey and Napa Smith Hopageddon Imperial IPA, so pick one up and enjoy the Voices of Liberty.
7. Italy
Italy is possibly the best stop for beer in World Showcase. Tutto Gusto is your best bet for a beer without a full sit-down meal in Italy; head on in and try anything that isn't a pale American lager or a Birra Moretti for best results. The selection changes fairly regularly; we try to keep our list up to date so click the Tutto Gusto link for the latest. If Sergio, the Italian mime and juggler, is around be sure to check out his show (you may remember him from my Via Napoli article).
8. Germany
Germany is full of places to get beer, but the same four are served at all of them. Try a Hövels or Schöfferhofer Grapefruit at the Trinken Beer Cart for a good beer in a convenient location, then watch the model trains travel around the tracks as you drink. Also, while you're in Germany be sure to admire the beer steins! There's a whole shop dedicated to them and they're beautiful but a bit expensive.
9. Outpost
You didn't think you were going to get away with not visiting the Outpost, did you? Actually, you're not missing much if you do. Safari Amber is as close as you'll get to an African beer here, and by close, I mean not close at all. For a non-AB-InBev beer, choose a Yuengling instead. There's not much to do at the Outpost, so either relax by the World Showcase lagoon or start taking a look around China, the next pavilion.
10. China
By this point you should be fairly well lubricated, which should offset the downfall of the beer quality from this point on. The Joy of Tea has two Chinese choices. These wonderful (and I'm using the word wonderful very liberally here) are Tsingtao and Tsingtao Pure Draft.
Admire the Temple of Heaven and watch Reflections of China if you'd like before moving on.
11. Norway
If you're feeling up to it, hop on Maelstrom before you get your beer here as they don't allow drinks on the ride.
This has been mentioned many times before, but you can't actually drink Norwegian beer in the Norway pavilion. The Danish beer Carlsberg is served instead. Belly up to the Norway Beer Stand and have one for Denma… er, Norway!
12. Mexico
You've made it! Mexico is the final stop on the tour around World Showcase. Cool off in the air-conditioned La Cava del Tequila with one of the Dia de los Muertos beers! Any of these choices should be better than the usual Mexican dreck. Again, no beverages on Gran Fiesta Tour, so do your riding before or after.
Drinking a dozen beers is no easy task; you could even break this up into two days if you prefer. There's no shame in sharing either; Epcot doesn't pour tasting portions on a normal basis (but maybe they should). Either way, celebrate with a viewing of Reflections of Earth! Also, this should be apparent but be sure to use Disney transportation back to your resort or designate a driver because 12 beers.
WARNING to everyone who tries this! I went into my attempt to drink around the world under the impression that over the course of one afternoon/evening I could easily take down 12 beers (I've done it at more parties, football tailgates, and concerts than I care to admit). HOWEVER, to Epcot's credit, the drafts they serve in these pavilions are generally 20oz and not 12…so in essence you are drinking around 18 beers in this afternoon/evening. Had I known this, I would have shared for sure (or only bought bottles). I didn't come to this realization until I made it from Mexico to Morocco and felt a sudden urge to sleep, vomit, or cry.
Scott Post author
You're right; if it's a draft beer it will be about 20 oz; bottles will usually be 12 oz. When I bought a Schofferhofer Grapefruit they had a 12oz cup for it; it might be possible to ask for the 12oz cup but they'd probably still charge you the full price.
Personally, I'd like to see some year-round tasting portions instead of just at Food and Wine and Flower and Garden. This really only works with draft beer though.
Like NT3, I made the realization of the 20oz pours very quickly and knew this would be entertaining. We've attempted Drinking Around the World 3 times…starting at 11:30am (when alcohol starts being served in World Showcase) and ending at 9pm with Illuminations…. so far we've only had 1 official successful run at it. One year we all konked out in Morocco (don't do Limoncello shots and Jaeger shots in Italy and Germany) and this year I believe the Moosehead ended up in the trash b/c we just couldn't drink any more. Hoping 4th time is a charm!
Oh man. You have no idea how badly I want to try this now that I have a professional roadmap to keep me on course after all the booze rots my brain into useless mush. Thank you, Scott! I probably won't get a chance to try this until January but at least all the alcohol will keep me warm, right?
daybreaker (Brad)
I knew about Unibroue at LeCellier (still dont know why they dont have that on a cart outside – it would be awesome), but did not know about Italy or Japan's offerings beyond the normal stuff! I will definitely have to try the Tutto Gusto coffee porter and Ginga Kogen when I go in December!
Scott, I would love to do this but as a craft beer only drinker the only places I could stop at with a clear conscience would be Liberty Inn and Tutto Gusto – maybe in a few more years things will change. Good news about the Liberty Inn.
"because 12 beers."
LOVE this.
And also love that Canada has stepped up their game so I don't have to make a Le Celliar ressie.
OK, clearly this is a Beers site, and that's how we all started on this journey around the world. But, having done it a number of times (more than 10) over the past few years, I thought I'd share a couple of variations I've thrown at it.
1. Start in Mexico. Better to get the bad stuff out of the way early. Save the Guinness and Labatt's (or now Unibroue if you're game for an 8% beer to finish you off) for the end.
2. Because I've done this so frequently, I started mixing in drinks where the beer selection isn't up-to-snuff…
a. Get a nice shot of Anejo tequila at La Cava de Tequila to start your journey off right.
b. Don't wasted your calories or tastebuds on Carlsburg when it's not even from Norway! Man up and power down a shot of the Aquavit.
c. I was unaware of anything other than the standard Italian beer hidden in Italy, so I may switch back to that now. But, a Limoncello is so refreshing at this point on your journey.
d. Sometimes, when I'm feeling squirrelly, I go with a Sake in Japan. But now I'm looking forward to hitting that back stand for the ginger beer!
e. I've never been a fan of 1664. A red wine has taken over there.
3. I don't consider Outpost a required stop. That's only for the true alcoholics (pun intended). I find 11 "drinks" suits me just fine, from what I can remember.
However you do it, you're sure to enjoy your trip around the world! It's the best adult ride at any Disney park, hands down.

RC Car Action's Stephen Bess Wants to get the word out about Leukemia
From RC Car Action:
Stephen Bess joined the RC Car Action editorial team as Senior West Coast Editor in November 2011. Bess' combination of significant editorial experience and knowledge of radio control allowed him to make an immediate and valuable contribution to RC Car Action. Bess provides a direct connection to Southern California, an area well-known as the hub of the RC car industry and racing scene. Bess started his career as a contributing author for RC Car Action and has served as editor for a number of magazines.
"We are extremely thrilled to have Stephen join our team. His talents and experience will expand our business reach and further the quality of content we deliver across our media channels," said CEO Louis DeFrancesco
Shortly after this announcement, Stephen was diagnosed with Leukemia. A Facebook page was set up shortly after, raising awareness and asking for people to join the Bone Marrow Registry. Even if you do not know Stephen Bess, the RC world is quite small and pretty much like a big family, so please read on, and if you can help or at least spread the word, please do.
From the facebook page "Bone Marrow for Bess"
Stephen Bess is a life-long RC enthusiast that jumped into the RC biz in the late 90's as an author for Car Action and RC Nitro Magazines. He's since been on the staff of most major RC publications, coming full circle to head the team at Car Action Magazine most recently. Many of us know Stephen through his personal and professional RC pursuits because he's been ever-present in that regard for the last 15 years or so. But, regardless of the circumstances that led to the crossing of our paths, Stephen's sincerity, sometimes brutal but light-hearted honestly, quick wit, and his magnetic personality (remember, magnets repel other magnets half the time), are some of the many reasons that most of us consider him one of those good, personal friends that in a lifetime, you can count on one hand.
The purpose for this page is a less humorous one - Stephen was recently diagnosed with Leukemia. It's a cancer that is carried in the blood, and its particularly aggressive. While it appears that it was diagnosed as early as possible, it's still a considerable threat to his health and it's difficult to beat. Part of what makes Leukemia such a tough disease is the bone marrow (forgive any technical errors as I'm not a medical expert) generates the white blood cells which fight disease, and this is where the affected cells are created. While Stephen has been treated with the typical chemotherapy (his new "Mr. Clean" look is rather dashing), there's a strong possibility that he may need to undergo a bone marrow transplant.
The difficulty in performing a bone marrow transplant in Stephen's case is, he doesn't have a paternal sibling (we can give thanks for that later for other reasons...). A paternal sibling would have the appropriate DNA characteristics needed to perform a successful transplant. This makes the likelihood of finding an acceptable donor considerably more difficult. This is the purpose of the Bone Marrow Registry linked to this page.
The Bone Marrow Registry website explains a lot of the details, but in short, it simply requires a simple test to narrow down the potential donors. Unfortunately, it's often that none of the donors will provide an acceptable match. This is where you can jump in to help your friend. By registering with the Bone Marrow Registry, you could literally be responsible for saving a life... directly. You may be the only person on the planet that has an acceptable match for Stephen or so many of the other patients affected by Leukemia that are looking for a donor - a proverbial needle in a haystack. The process is much more simple and painless than it used to be in the past, and for Stephen, in spite of what my humor might suggest, I would gladly go through ten times the pain to keep my good friend in good health. If nothing else, we need to keep the "only the good die young" forces of the universe intact, because Stephen is an evil bastard. There's no way he should be polluting the heavens at such a young age. He needs to stay down here with the rest of us misfits for decades to come.
So, please check out the Bone Marrow Registry and get on the list. The more people we make aware of this resource, the more we can help people with this insidious disease. It gives hope where there otherwise may not be any. PLEASE, take the time to register and LIKE this page to get the word out!!!

Holyoke's Andy Laties, 51, argues that now is the perfect time to open an independent bookshop (yes, really).
Comments Off
Denver Post – "The Park Hill Community Bookstore is not much to look at, its three tightly packed floors of shelves crammed with 30,000 volumes, the bulk of them used.
And its business plan — a not-for- profit collective supported by 500 members, 50 volunteers and one paid staffer — isn't what ambitious MBA candidates at Wharton fantasize about.
Yet the bookstore is thriving at a time when once-booming corporate models such as Borders have closed like unread copies of "Anna Karenina."

Earlier this year, our Brian Dwyer gave us a very special look at how the Army is using technology to help soldiers train for battle, but sometimes it takes just good old fashioned hard work. We've all see the videos of soldiers waking up early, running, jogging, push and pull ups. Well, the Army is about to go through another major transformation, changing the physical training from the basics to complete battle functionality. Over the course of this week, Brian will take us inside this new daily workout, Functional Fitness, and how this "Ultimate Exercise" is getting soldiers ready for anything.
FORT DRUM, N.Y. – "Functional Fitness is about preparing the body for the challenges of the real world," said Lt. Col. Sean Bernabe, 1st BCT Deputy Commanding Officer.
"Fitness has been cyclic. A lot of the stuff that we're doing now is stuff the Army was doing in the 40s and 50s," said Maj. Rob Montz, Guthrie Medical Clinic Chief of Occupational Therapy.
"You see some films of Army units doing calisthenics and squats and lunges. Well, those are the kind of things you'll see in a more modern Functional Fitness workout," said Lt. Col. Bernabe. "It's about not just building a specialist in running or a specialist in lifting heavy objects, but the decathlete that can do all those things."
But somewhere along the line, the Army lost its way. The functionality of the 40s and 50s gave way to the muscles of the 80s and 90s.
"That 'going to the beach' type muscles, they don't work here. They don't work in combat, they don't work here. They're great for the beach but not so great for the Army," said Sgt. Shadrach Miller, 2-22 Squad Leader.
Sergeant Shadrach Miller is a squad leader for Triple-Deuce. He's one of thousands who will soon be doing this on a regular basis. It's called combatives, wrestling, grappling. It's using moves and techniques to overcome pure strength.
"They're going to run into contact with the enemy. They're going to be in close proximity. Especially our MPs, who'll be dealing with detainees. You can never say that everybody is going to be compliant 100 percent of the time. Sometimes they're going to get physical and they're going to want to get violent," said SSgt. Joseph Cole, a combatives instructor.
"I'm 40. I'm rolling with guys who are 20. They're quite a bit faster and stronger than me. I'll hang with them just using the techniques and stuff like that," said Sgt. Miller.
"We're giving them the ability to see where their pitfalls may be and where their strengths and weaknesses are by giving them exercises they're not normally going to do within the Army's PRT program," said SSgt. Cole.
But for some, it's training they've never done. They say there's fear with the unknown. Functional Fitness can force a soldier to stare it right in the face.
Now take that fear and get ready to ramp it up

How Engineering Solutions Have Made Buildings More Disaster Resistant
On Saturday, Chris Poland, a structural engineer and the chairman and senior principal of Degenkolb Engineers, appeared on CCTV Americas to discuss engineering solutions that have helped make buildings more resilient during earthquakes. According to Poland, "earthquake resistance" in structural engineering refers to how a building is constructed to perform after an earthquake hits.
Poland describes the difference between two levels of earthquake resistance. The "life safety level" is meant to simply keep the building standing after an earthquake long enough to protect the occupants and allow them to get out of them safely; these buildings might not necessarily be repaired. "Operational level" structural engineering is meant to make the building resistant enough to be immediately available for use after the earthquake, which is important for places like hospitals, police stations, city halls, and so on.
To learn more, watch the video of Poland's CCTV Americas interview, or read his recent article on safety, security, and social justice on Sustainable Cities 2012.

Breastfeeding: Alternatives to weaning four month old
Our four-month-old daughter has been breastfed since birth. My wife is having problems at present weaning her off the breast to the bottle. She appears to prefer what nature has provided. What can be done if anything do aid the transfer? My wife is very tired as she wakes every three hours to nurse. Is there anything more that you can suggest that can be done to help my permanently exhausted wife?Question:
Debbi Donovan
Debbi Donovan is a Board Certified Lactation Consultant, as well as a retired La Leche League Leader. For more than a decade, Debbi... Read more
I can understand how you would love to provide your wife with some relief since she is feeling exhausted. You are very concerned about her welfare.
Weaning your baby from the breast to a bottle is not a cure for fatigue. Mothering isn't easy, whether you breastfeed or bottlefeed. A breastfeeding mom does however benefit from the release of the hormone prolactin, often referred to as the mothering hormone, as she nurses her baby. Your wife will no longer benefit from the presence of this (relaxing) hormone once your baby is weaned.
Offer to help your wife around the house. Help with meals or with preparing snacks ahead of time, so she will be able to eat something that is healthy during the day. She needs to take some time for herself every day. Help her so she can recharge her batteries. She may want to take a warm bath, get some exercise or just get away. It is really important that she knows you are there for her. Your support and encouragement are crucial to her.
Your wife needs to rest during the day, when the baby rests. Many moms use this time to get work done, but this can lead to exhaustion. Relax your standards around the house (at least for the time being.) Your wife and baby can nap together and both wake up refreshed. If your wife takes good care of herself, she will find mothering becomes much easier and less tiring.
Exhaustion can be a sign of depression. Postpartum depression is more common than most people realize and is not limited to the days or weeks following the birth. If you feel your wife is depressed, it would be wise for her to be evaluated by her Health Care Provider.
If you do decide it is the right time to wean your baby to a bottle, it is important to go slowly. Weaning is easiest on both mom and baby when it is done gradually. You can help your wife by offering a bottle when she isn't in the house. Don't sit in the same place your wife normally nurses. Take your time, offering the bottle to your baby, allowing her to draw the bottle nipple into her mouth. Warming the nipple prior to the feed may help. All babies love skin-to-skin contact. Take off your shirt and hold your baby close to your body as you feed her the bottle. Be patient. She may not accept the bottle the first time. Give her a chance to get used to a new method of feeding. See Gradual Weaning for more information. Best wishes!Answer:

No, there was never a giant gorilla. In fact, these days, there can't even be an undiscovered island. With today's modern satellites and G.P.S. technology, it's impossible for a body of land to exist that we don't already know about. But the period details of the original 1933 film have been recreated with great authenticity and these are historically accurate.
Art historian Matthew Wilson, who consulted on the film, says, "I worked with [director Peter Jackson and his design team] for four to five months, basically gathering much photographic and architectural research. One of the first assignments I had was a taxicab. But they didn't want just any old taxicab. They wanted one that was in service back in 1933. They wanted such things as what did a driver's license badge look like, and what did everything look like involving that taxi ride. They even wanted the mixture of paint that was used on the cab.
"They held two principles, which I believe were important. One was to shoot the film as a period piece, the other was to film this event as though it really happened in 1933. Firstly, Peter Jackson rightly pointed out that the early part of the 20th century is the last time one could believably conceive that an uncharted island could exist. With GPS, satellite photography, and exploration, it is hardly possible that such a discovery could be made today. So the time period became very important as a window into the mythology of Kong.
"Kong is a God, similar to the animistic deities in many hunter/gatherer cultures?such as Paleolithic, Native American, African, etc. Kong represented another order of reality?one which existed here in our modern world?on an undiscovered mysterious island lost in time. On this island were dinosaurs and other fantastical creatures, but it was Kong who was worshipped as a deity."
King Kong as a God-like figure? This is a concept that William Henry would understand! Don't miss William's upcoming dialogue with our other popular guest host, Jim Marrs, which will be posted on our web site on Dec. 16. William also has a dialogue with Anne Strieber about the meaning of Christmas, which will be posted for subscribers on Dec. 23.

Hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey...Just saw your avatar. VH is a cousin of a friend of mine!!! :)
Hope that you have a fUntastic Labor Day! Warren
Hey Van_Halen, have a great Labor Day and week ahead.
Hey bro! As you know, I'm generally spot on with the gas prices going up or down. Quickly and I'm gonna ask you and others to pass it on to everyone as I just don't have the time to do it this time. We might go back up on gas, or rather, WE WILL shortly by about six to 12 cents a gallon minimum with a strong probability of going back up 14 to 22 cents a gallon, possibly even more. In the midwest and the west coast, mountain states, Alaska and Hawaii, I expect the price jumps to be more. It's coming just in-time for the holiday you know! Keep in mind that you can always warn five to 10 others among your buddies and they can do the same here.
I'm glad to see you continue moving up in points! Don't stop now like so many GBs did that were within days of reaching the 1M milestone. In just about 8 days you can be in that 1M points club! More than 90% of all the GBs that signed up over the past 13 years will never make it to 1M points, millions of GBs quit before they even got close, and there are less than 8,700 GBs out of more than 8 million GBs that have gone on to 1M points and their first red car! You're so close, so keep posting, it's nice seeing you come back each day as I track your progress to that 1M milestone! Thanks for your 3+ years of dedication here on GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Ron
Enjoy the 4th!
Have a great day and week ahead.
Hey! What's up? Here's a little something different: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8VQfwgMwIE Enjoy! Pass it on! Q'apla!

A Dozen New York Lottery Players Are Holding Unclaimed Jackpot Tickets Sold in the NYC Metro Region That Are In Danger Of Expiring
New York State is undertaking a massive search for 12 "Missing Millionaires" in the New York City Metro Region, starting with one who purchased a Lottery ticket in Monroe, Orange County.
The New York Lottery's Yolanda Vega and Gretchen Dizer will be at Star Wines and Liquors in Monroe on Thursday, December 19 at 1:30 p.m. seeking the owner of an unclaimed $1 million Powerball winning ticket that expires on January 5, 2014.
There are currently 11 other New York Lottery draw game players holding unclaimed jackpot tickets of $1 million or more that will expire in 2014. Over the next few months, Yolanda and Gretchen will visit the retail locations in and around New York City where other unclaimed winning tickets were sold in an attempt to find these "Missing Millionaires."
"A lucky individual's holiday season could be vastly improved – and they don't know it yet," said Gardner Gurney, Acting Director of the Division of the Lottery. "Yolanda and Gretchen are taking a boots-on-the-ground approach to find these 'Missing Millionaires,' going directly to the 'scene of the sale' in hopes of locating the currently unknown individual."
The Lottery encourages everyone who bought a New York Lottery draw game ticket, to check their old tickets again, as they could be holding a jackpot winner. Unclaimed tickets expire one year after the game's drawing.
Here are the details for the unclaimed New York Lottery draw game tickets worth $1 million or more:
If a "Missing Millionaire" is located, they are urged to sign the back of their ticket and immediately contact the New York Lottery at 518-388-0563. The winner may claim the ticket at any one of the Lottery's Customer Service Centers statewide, including the Fishkill office at Hudson Valley Towne Center, 18 Westage Business Center, Fishkill, NY 12524, the Manhattan office at 15 Beaver Street, New York, NY 10004 and the Long Island office at 45 South Service Road, Plainview, NY 11803. To learn more about how to redeem a prize, click here.
As is always the case, in the event the prize is not claimed by the deadline, the prize money will be returned to the prize pool for future winners. It is used to subsidize prizes for jackpots, promotions and/or special one-time games.
Star Wines and Liquors is located at 475 Route 17M, in Monroe, Orange County. The deadline to claim that ticket is January 5, 2014. The event is open to the public.

The "Very Scary" Iranian Terror Plot
The most difficult challenge in writing about the Iranian Terror Plot unveiled yesterday is to take it seriously enough to analyze it. Iranian Muslims in the Quds Force sending marauding bands of Mexican drug cartel assassins onto sacred American soil to commit Terrorism — against Saudi Arabia and possibly Israel — is what Bill Kristol and John Bolton would feverishly dream up while dropping acid and madly cackling at the possibility that they could get someone to believe it.
Zelikow Appointed to Obama's Intelligence Advisory Board
President Obama appointed Philip Zelikow, associate dean for graduate academic programs in the University of Virginia's Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, to serve on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, the White House announced Tuesday. Zelikow, White Burkett Miller Professor of History, will remain with the University while serving on the board, which serves as an independent source of advice to the president on the intelligence community's effectiveness in meeting the nation's intelligence needs, and ...
Congressman Wants Probe of bin Laden Movie Project
The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee sought an investigation Wednesday into the Obama administration's cooperation with award-winning filmmakers working on a movie about the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Rep. Peter King said too much information already has leaked out about the Navy SEALs raid that killed bin Laden in Pakistan in May, and Pentagon officials have cautioned against discussing details of the mission. King asked the inspectors general of the CIA and Defense ...
Why the US Won't Leave Afghanistan
The record since 9/11 shows that's exactly what's happening. The war on terror has totally depleted the US treasury – to the point that the White House and Congress are now immersed in a titanic battle over a $4 trillion debt ceiling. What is never mentioned is that these trillions of dollars were ruthlessly subtracted from the wellbeing of average Americans – smashing the carefully constructed myth of the American dream. So what's the endgame for these trillions of dollars? The US corporate media simply refuses to cover what is one of the most important stories of the early 21st century.
Panetta to Troops: We're in Iraq Because of 9/11
Newly appointed US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta told American troops in Baghdad on Monday that 9/11 was the reason they were in Iraq, before he was quickly corrected by his spokesman. "The reason you guys are here is because of 9/11. The US got attacked and 3,000 human beings got killed because of Al-Qaeda," Panetta told about 150 soldiers at the Camp Victory US base.
The Kingdom and the Towers
Was there a foreign government behind the 9/11 attacks? A decade later, Americans still haven't been given the whole story, while a key 28-page section of Congress's Joint Inquiry report remains censored. Gathering years of leaks and leads, in an adaptation from their new book, Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan examine the connections between Saudi Arabia and the hijackers (15 of whom were Saudi), the Bush White House's decision to ignore or bury evidence, and the frustration of lead investigators—including 9/11-commission staffers, counterterrorism officials, and senators on both sides of the aisle.
US Drop Charges Against OBL, Still "No Evidence" for 9/11
Nobody seems to have noticed, but in the nearly two and a half years of the Obama administration at least three commonplace phrases of the George W. Bush era have slipped into oblivion: "regime change," "shock and awe," and "imperial presidency." The war in Libya should remind us of just how appropriate they remain.
How Not to End the War on Terror
In the seven weeks since the killing of Osama bin Laden, pundits and experts of many stripes have concluded that his death represents a marker of genuine significance in the story of America's encounter with terrorism. Peter Bergen, a bin Laden expert, wrote "Killing bin Laden is the end of the war on terror. We can just sort of announce that right now." Yet you wouldn't know it in Washington where, if anything, the Obama administration and Congress have interpreted the killing of al-Qaeda's leader as a virtual license to double down on every "front" in the war on terror.
Congressman: Bin Laden Photos Could Put Soldiers at Risk
As the Associated Press pushes for the release of reportedly graphic photographs of Osama bin Laden's corpse, North Coast Congressman Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, said releasing them is a bad idea. "I think it would be very harmful," said Thompson, who recently viewed the photographs at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., as a member of the House Intelligence Committee.
The Ever-Expanding Bipartisan Surveillance State
Allowing government officials to shield their own conduct from transparency and even judicial review ensures that National Security State officials (public and private) can do whatever they want without any detection and (therefore) without limit or accountability. That is what the Surveillance State, at its core, is designed to achieve: the destruction of privacy for individual citizens and an impenetrable wall of secrecy for those with unlimited surveillance power.

Egyptian Pharaoh's Throat Was Slashed During Coup, Research Suggests
MONDAY, Dec. 17 (HealthDay News) -- A new study reveals how conspirators may have murdered the Egyptian king Ramesses III, who reigned from 1186 to 1155 B.C.
Forensic, radiological and genetic analyses showed the Pharaoh's throat was probably cut during a coup staged by one of his two known wives and her son, Prince Pentawere, over who would inherit the throne.
The researchers, led by Albert Zink from the Institute for Mummies and the Iceman of the European Academy of Bolzano/Bozen in Italy, examined CT scans of Ramesses III's mummy as well as a mummy known as "unknown man E," who is believed to be his son.
Wide and deep throat wounds were found in Ramesses III's mummy. The researchers noted these wounds were most likely caused by a sharp blade. They added this injury could have killed him instantly.
The researchers also found a Horus eye amulet inside Ramesses III's wound. His embalmers probably inserted this amulet to promote healing. Layers of thick linen were also placed around the Pharaoh's neck like a collar, the researchers explained.
Meanwhile, an examination of the unknown man revealed an inflated thorax and compressed skinfolds around the mummy's neck. The researchers concluded the 18-to 20-year old man died from strangulation or another violent act.
The study also revealed the unknown man's body was mummified with a "ritually impure" goatskin. The researchers pointed out this non-royal burial procedure could have been a form of punishment.
DNA evidence also showed the mummies shared the same parental lineage. The researchers said their findings strongly suggest the two mummies were father and son.
They argued that the unknown mummy could very well be Prince Pentawere, although his cause of death remains uncertain.
The study was published online Dec. 17 in the BMJ Christmas issue.

SAN ANTONIO The shaking wouldnt stop. The tears had come to an end, but Marcus Paige kept shaking as he sat in a corner of North Carolinas locker room, reliving the moment over and over.
The player who did more than anything to get the Tar Heels this far sat there and blamed himself for the end of their season, shivering like the notion seemed to chill him to his very core.
The idea was preposterous. Paige was North Carolinas best player, one whose ability to score when the Tar Heels desperately needed him helped turn around a season that at one point looked very much headed in the wrong direction.
And yet he couldnt shake the mistaken notion hed let them all down with an utterly uncharacteristic turnover at the end of Sundays 85-83 loss to Iowa State. The same thought kept going through Paiges mind.
Youre thinking about the play that just cost you your season 20 seconds earlier, Paige said. Its hard to describe.
That play came with 31 seconds left, the score tied and the teams going back and forth, shot after shot. After a Naz Long 3-pointer made it 81-81, Paige walked the ball up the court and North Carolina started what James Michael McAdoo called a standard offensive set.
On the right wing, Paige curled around a McAdoo screen and cut into the lane. The Cyclones had been fighting through screens all night, but 6-foot-6 Melvin Ejim switched off McAdoo and onto Paige this time, so when Paige jumped as if to shoot, Ejim had a hand in his face. Already in the air, Paige looked to pass. McAdoo, expecting Paige to shoot, was getting into position for a rebound.
Paige, losing altitude, had nowhere to go with the ball.
His pass attempt grazed McAdoos fingertips. Ejim picked it up and threw a home-run pass to DeAndre Kane. North Carolina went from playing with the lead to playing from behind, a scenario that proved fatal when Kane slashed past J.P. Tokoto for the winning basket with 1.6 seconds to play.
The Tar Heels had been ahead by eight only a few minutes earlier, and Paige had an open look at a 3-point attempt that would have run the lead to 11. Even after the miss, Paige said the Tar Heels thought they had the game under control. But the Cyclones couldnt miss, making seven of their final eight shots to close out the win.
At the end of the day, we had a chance to win, Paige said. We had possession, we had the ball, we had the ball in my hands with James Michael setting a screen. Thats worked out for us all year.
Paige took a couple quick breaths.
I just didnt make the play, he said, his voice trembling. My teammates trust me in that situation. Ive come through for them a lot. If I had that play a thousand more times, Id be confident of making that play a thousand times again. Im sure my teammates would feel the same way.
That belief was shared by Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg, who in the process of game-planning against the Tar Heels final play that never happened, was only concerned with one player: Paige.
We felt he would probably get the shot, Hoiberg said.
Hoiberg knows. North Carolina didnt lose because of Marcus Paige. It would never have been in this position without him.
Hes the heart and soul of our team, McAdoo said. Well live with that.
Paige cant stop thinking about one play. If he remembers anything from this game, from this season, it should be those 12 words from McAdoo.

Permission to use "The Dog at the Well" in this curriculum granted by Marilyn McFarlane, author of Sacred Myths: Stories of World Religions
(Sibyl Publications, 1996).
One day Muhammad told his friends and followers a story about a thirsty man, a well, and a dog. This was the story:
A man left his home to take a long journey. It was a hot day, and he had not walked far before his head began to ache and his mouth felt dry. The sun blazed overhead, the fields he passed were brown and withered, and no water could be seen.
"I'm so thirsty. I must find water," he muttered. "Surely I will soon come to a well."
Just as he had the thought, he saw a well by the side of the road. Thankfully, he hurried to it, almost tasting the sweetness of the cool water that lay in its depths. But when he peered into the well, he saw no water. The well was dry. Disheartened, and even more thirsty now, he continued along the scorching road, hoping to find another well. Sure enough, before long he saw one. "At last, water!" he whispered, looking into the well. But it too was dry.
There wasn't a drop of moisture in the land. With a parched throat and feeling weak, the man walked on. "I can't go much further without water," he thought. And then he saw a well. Almost afraid to hope, he looked over the edge. Far below, in the darkness, water sparkled.
"Allah be praised!" the man said. He looked around for a rope and bucket to lower into the well so he could bring up the life-giving water. There was no rope, no bucket. How could he reach the water he needed so badly?
Only one way remained. If the water would not come up to him, he would have to go down to it. He scrambled over the top and carefully, bracing himself against the sides with his arms and feet, descended into the well. Deeper and deeper he went, until at last he touched the cool, wet water. Cupping his hands, he scooped the water and drank and drank. He murmured, "Praise Allah for the liquid of life."
Feeling much better, the man began the long, difficult climb up out of the well. At last he reached the top and stood again on the road under the hot sun. He was starting to walk away when he heard a sound—a soft, sad whine. He looked down and saw a dog, sniffing at the ground. The dog looked miserable. His eyes were glazed, and he was panting with thirst. He came up to the man and licked the edge of his robe, which was wet from the trip down the well.
"This poor animal is as thirsty as I was," the man thought. "He'll die in this heat if he doesn't get water."
The dog looked up at the man and wagged his tail, grateful for the bit of moisture.
The man made his decision. "Wait here," he said. "I will bring you some water."
Into the well he went. Again he descended down, down, all the way to the bottom where the cool liquid lay. When he got there, the man braced himself against the walls of the well and took off his soft leather boots. He dipped one boot and then the other into the water and filled them. He clamped the tops of the boots between his teeth and began to climb up again.
This time the trip to the top was much harder. The heavy, water-filled boots pulled on his mouth, and his teeth hurt. Once the slick, wet leather slipped, and he almost dropped the boots, but he tightened his grip and held on. Slowly he kept climbing until he reached the top.
When he was on the ground again, he knelt and opened the boots so the dog could drink. The dog drank all the water in both boots, his tail wagging happily.
The man smiled. "Now neither of us will die of thirst," he said. He pulled on his damp boots, patted the dog again, and continued on his way.
Allah was pleased by this kind act. He was so pleased that all the man's past sins were forgiven, and years later, when the kind man died, his soul was taken to heaven.
The blessed prophet Muhammad concluded his story by saying, "You too will be rewarded for being good to all living creatures."

In the course of a workday you should take a mini-exercise break (1 to 2 minutes) once per hour and a longer break (3 to 5 minutes), once every 2 to 3 hours. The following exercises can reduce fatigue and your risk of having an overuse injury. These exercises can be done during short or long breaks.

REVIEW SUMMARY: Another great entry in the American Vampire series.
BRIEF SYNOPSIS: Fortitude Scott must investigate the death of a werebear while the supernatural community prepares for a change in leadership.
PROS: Great characters; believable and compelling relationships; original vampire mythos; sets up for one hell of a sequel.
CONS: Murder mystery could use more immediacy; lack of werebear mythos.
BOTTOM LINE: Another solid American Vampire novel that builds on its predecessors and sets up a big change in the series.
I did not expect to receive an ARC of M.L. Brennan's third Fortitude Scott book so soon. I reviewed Generation V and Iron Night (American Vampire Books 1 and 2) and absolutely adored them, so it was a pleasant surprise when I opened my mailbox to find Tainted Blood. Brennan's American Vampire series is a bit of an anomaly, I must admit. In recent years I've become far more accepting of the urban fantasy genre but I'm still not keen on the usual suspects: vampires, werewolves, and the like. Yet Brennan has me waving the Team Fortitude flag.

Two successful weeknight recipes
Chicken Curry with Butternut Squash and Chickpeas
Originally uploaded by Foodmomiac
We've had some good successes lately, so I wanted to share.
First up is the dish you see here to the right. It is a riff off of a recipe posted by the lovely Chris Jordan. I'm not going to post my version here. I'll just tell you what I changed and why. One of the reasons I liked this recipe was because it lends itself to improvisation. OK, so the first obvious change is that I used butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes. This was simply a matter of using what I had. The squash I had, though, was ENORMOUS, so I only used half of it. I also substituted boneless chicken thighs for the breasts. I prefer the moistness and richer flavor of chicken thighs, but your mileage may vary, so do what you want. My dad, for example, refuses to even touch dark meat, so if you're like him, don't do what I did. Other changes included upping the curry powder a touch (I think I used 4 teaspoons) and adding a can of drained chickpeas for the last 30 minutes of cooking. Both of my kids like chickpeas and they go GREAT with curry, so I figured it was a good way to sneak an extra vegetable into this meal. Finally, I already had some leftover rice and didn't to make a whole new pot. BUT, I did want the coconut flavor, so I heated the old rice up in a pot with 1/2 a can of coconut milk. It worked out very well.
Another great recipe was this Lemon Linguine that was posted on Serious Eats. It is actually a Giada recipe. Again, I made some changes. I used thin spaghetti instead of linguine and I left out the basil because I didn't have any (and my kids don't like it). This recipe was so easy that a six-year-old could make it. Actually, one did! Dylan squeezed and zested the lemons and measured out the oil and cheese. This is a terrific meal to make on a hot day (not that it was hot - it's still ridiculously cold here). But, it would be good for summer, because the sauce isn't cooked. The only item you need to cook is the pasta itself.

High-end speaker gets more high-end with fireworks and paint
Tuesday, July 7, 2009 - 7:10am
The Outline AUX Level speaker looks to be a high-end loudspeaker designed to compliment large flat-panel TVs. Sounds pretty good, if unexciting, until you see how they decorate the thing.
The Muscinelli Edition, which costs $500 more than the boring other editions, was designed "using fireworks and paint." Yes, they took a high-end speaker and exploded paint all over it. If that isn't worth an extra $500, I don't know what is.
