Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, | 10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Haggai: |
11 "Thus says the LORD of hosts: Ask the priests to decide this question, | 11 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Ask the priests what the law says: |
12 'If one carries holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and touches with his skirt bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any kind of food, does it become holy?'" The priests answered, "No." | 12 If a person carries consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and that fold touches some bread or stew, some wine, oil or other food, does it become consecrated?' " The priests answered, "No." |
13 Then said Haggai, "If one who is unclean by contact with a dead body touches any of these, does it become unclean?" The priests answered, "It does become unclean." | 13 Then Haggai said, "If a person defiled by contact with a dead body touches one of these things, does it become defiled?" "Yes," the priests replied, "it becomes defiled." |
14 Then Haggai said, "So is it with this people, and with this nation before me, says the LORD; and so with every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean. | 14 Then Haggai said, " 'So it is with this people and this nation in my sight,' declares the LORD. 'Whatever they do and whatever they offer there is defiled. |
15 Pray now, consider what will come to pass from this day onward. Before a stone was placed upon a stone in the temple of the LORD, | 15 " 'Now give careful thought to this from this day on--consider how things were before one stone was laid on another in the LORD's temple. |
16 how did you fare? When one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the winevat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty. | 16 When anyone came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When anyone went to a wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were only twenty. |
17 I smote you and all the products of your toil with blight and mildew and hail; yet you did not return to me, says the LORD. | 17 I struck all the work of your hands with blight, mildew and hail, yet you did not turn to me,' declares the LORD. |
18 Consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider: | 18 'From this day on, from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, give careful thought to the day when the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid. Give careful thought: |
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? Do the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree still yield nothing? From this day on I will bless you." | 19 Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit. " 'From this day on I will bless you.' " |
20 The word of the LORD came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, | 20 The word of the LORD came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month: |
21 "Speak to Zerub'babel, governor of Judah, saying, I am about to shake the heavens and the earth, | 21 "Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I will shake the heavens and the earth. |
22 and to overthrow the throne of kingdoms; I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, and overthrow the chariots and their riders; and the horses and their riders shall go down, every one by the sword of his fellow. | 22 I will overturn royal thrones and shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms. I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother. |
23 On that day, says the LORD of hosts, I will take you, O Zerub'babel my servant, the son of She-al'ti-el, says the LORD, and make you like a signet ring; for I have chosen you, says the LORD of hosts." | 23 " 'On that day,' declares the LORD Almighty, 'I will take you, my servant Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,' declares the LORD, 'and I will make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you,' declares the LORD Almighty." |

This is a new Direct Import for K&L, so not only is it a fabulous wine, but it's an exceptional value, too. Our very own Ryan Woodhouse describes it like this: "Great Cab! A lovely balanced between rich, soft, saturated fruit and some smoky cedar and mint nuances. Many South African reds can be overtly smoky (something I attribute to the unique flora and fauna of the country), but this wine has subtly complex smoke that doesn't dominate the flavor profile. The wine has some grippy tannins that help lengthen the inky concentration of fruit on the palate. Very good." (For more about the new Waterkloof range, check out K&L Uncorked at Blog.KLWines.com.)
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own.

I am new here,
I know I am very far from the setup that I need to run a window A/C but figured I would let you know what I have right now.
I live in a trailer that does not have access to power lines. We currently are running all of our power from a 2300 Watt Gas Generator. My goal is to be able to run solar and keep the generator off.
A few days ago I bought a basic solar panel kit from harbor freight 45 Watt Solar panels, 125 Amp Hour Deep Cycle Battery, 2000Watt Modified Sine Inverter.
I havent had much time testing to see all that I can run. But I have tried running some lights, tv, fan, etc. Basic lower power items with no problems. (except the tv makes a buzzing sound even when it is off).
I also tried turning my window a/c on. It's below 5000 BTU actual amps are 4.8. I was able to run the fan portion with no problems, but when I switched it to COOL it tried starting for about 1 second than turned off, and my Inverter started beeping its low voltage alert.
My question. This AC is 4.8 AMPS. I would love to be able to run it for at least 6 hours a day, and also be able to run small lights, fan, and possibly a few other basic items.
With the current setup I have now. How many more solar panel would I need, and batteries.
I was gambling getting at least (2) 200 watt panels which would bring me to 445 Watts total. But before I go through spending that much money for the panels and batteries I need to know if I will be able to run the AC, if not I dont want to spend extra money.
Please help, im fairly new to this but really would love to be able to run all solar. How many more watts of solar panels would I need, and how many more batteries that are rated 125 amp hours to be able to run the AC for at least 6+ hours.
Let me know if you need any more info, and ill try to help.
Thanks for reading and responding. Well appreciated.

This is why old people need to be trained on how to use social media.
Yesterday, Phil McGraw tweeted out the since-deleted message, "If a girl is drunk, is it OK to have sex with her? Reply yes or no to @drphil #teensaccused."
Yikes. In the best possible light, McGraw was likely trying to begin a discussion presumably for fodder on his show about consent. Unfortunately, a social forum where a response can only be 140 characters was just so not the way to go about that. The fact that the question itself promotes rape culture is pretty much the worst, so it's no surprise that the Internet reaction was swift. (The trending topic #DrPhilQuestions had users asking other mocking queries.)

Using split screen keyboard in Symbian Anna and beyond
This article explains how to use split screen keyboard in Symbian Anna.
Symbian Anna
Starting from Anna, symbian supports split screen virtual keyboard. Lets see how to use it.
For the CEikEdwin based controls on which you want to enable the split screen keyboard, you need to set this flag: EAknEditorFlagEnablePartialScreen. Either through the resource files, or SetAknEditorFlags function.
SetAknEditorFlags( AknEditorFlags() | EAknEditorFlagEnablePartialScreen );
It is defined like so in eikon.hrh file:
#define EAknEditorFlagEnablePartialScreen 0x200000
#define EAknEditorFlagLaunchPenInputAutomatic 0x400000
EAknEditorFlagLaunchPenInputAutomatic makes the control open the keyboard automatically without user tapping on it. Handy.
Now how do you detect the keyboard is opened or closed ?
In your AppUi or in your CCoeControl based class implement HandleResourceChange function.
void MyContainer::HandleResourceChange(TInt aType)
// handle there events:
const TInt KAknSplitInputUiOpen = 0x2001E2C2; // split screen vkb opened, layout controls
const TInt KAknSplitInputUiClose = 0x2001E2C3; // split screen vkb closed, layout controls

Within minutes after the first aircraft hit the World Trade Center, the FAA immediately established several phone bridges that included FAA field facilities, the FAA Command Center, FAA headquarters, DOD, the Secret Service, and other government agencies. The US Air Force liaison to the FAA immediately joined the FAA headquarters phone bridge and established contact with NORAD on a separate line. The FAA shared real-time information on the phone bridges about the unfolding events, including information about loss of communication with aircraft, loss of transponder signals, unauthorized changes in course, and other actions being taken by all the flights of interest, including Flight 77. Other parties on the phone bridges, in turn, shared information about actions they were taking. NORAD logs indicate that the FAA made formal notification about American Flight 77 at 9:24 a.m., but information about the flight was conveyed continuously during the phone bridges before the formal notification.
Editor's Note: Much has been written about the anomalies surrounding the lack of air defense on 9/11. Here are a few important updates.

Sibel Edmonds and Daniel Ellsberg, July 14, 2004 transcribed (as best I could) from audio at: http://www.kathymcmahon.utvinternet.com/mrn/Sibel-Edmonds.htm
Sibel Edmonds: Many people out there, either within the Congress or with the Commission, their attitude is, they don't want to know the truth. It's like see no evil, hear no evil, as long as you don't hear it or see it, you're safe. So I wanted to find out, Who wants to hear the truth?
Because we're not talking about issues that have to do with somebody was incompetent and they missed [?the single calls?], we are looking at much deeper issues that in certain cases things were prevented from being pursued.
For example, I can talk about parts that I know about, and that is the list of witnesses, the special agents, okay? be it with the fbi or atf, and other translators who have come to us, to me, to family members, and their names and their contact information had been given to 9/11 Commission, and we can establish that these people were never contacted.
And more people come forward — which we have been having people coming forward, not into public, but to me — and they say, "OK I have information" — where do you take these people? You can't take them to 9/11 commission. You can't take them to the Congress, they don't do anything. And you can't take them to Inspector General's Office, they're not independent. And my report hasn't… Continue reading

Last week's announcement that the terrorist threat warning level has been raised in parts of New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. has led to dramatic and unprecedented restrictions on the movements of citizens. Americans wishing to visit the U.S. Capitol must, for example, pass through several checkpoints and submit to police inspection of their cars and persons.
Many Americans support the new security measures because they claim to feel safer when the government issues terror alerts and fills the streets with militarized police forces. As one tourist interviewed this week said, "It makes me feel comfortable to know that everything is being checked." It is ironic that tourists coming to Washington to celebrate the freedoms embodied in the Declaration of Independence are so eager to give up those freedoms with no questions asked.
Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens' lives. This doesn't stop governments, including our own, from seeking more control over and intrusion into our lives. As one Member of Congress stated to the press last week, "people who don't want to be searched don't need to come on Capitol grounds." What an insult! The Capitol belongs… Continue reading
Opinion by Mark A. Dunlea
National Green Party Homepage
Posted December 06, 2004.
It is time for the peace movement in New York State to take up the demand to find truth about the three thousand people murdered in New York City on 9/11.
With the apparent election of George Bush as President, the likelihood that we will ever find the truth about 9/11 becomes even more remote. It is certainly not going to come from the federal government, where Bush, Congress, Republicans and Democrats, CIA, FBI and the foreign policy establishment all clearly share in some of the culpability for the deaths.
For a variety of reasons, the 2004 elections were unsuccessful in shaking Bush loose from the White House. This would be a good time to revisit two other approaches to removing Bush from office: the 9/11 truth movement, and impeachment. This article focuses on 9/11.
A poll released by Zogby International this fall found that half of the New York City residents – and more than 40% statewide – believed that the Bush administration knew about the 9/11 terrorist threats beforehand but failed to take action to prevent it. This is also largely the conclusion drawn from the work of federal 9/11 Commission – though they avoided stating it so bluntly out of their bipartisan effort to avoid "disrupting" the presidential campaign.
There are a number of approaches that New York could pursue (e.g., investigations by NYC City Council; State Legislature; criminal prosecution by the Manhattan DA… Continue reading

In the weeks before the 9/11 attacks, warnings poured in from the world's spy agencies, but U.S. officials did nothing. Instead, our intelligence agencies were reined in, air interceptors grounded, and the attacks exploited to launch a devastating war on Afghanistan. The results: a U.S. corporate takeover of Central Asia's oil and gas – a wealthier Bush family – and more censorship.
The War On Freedom is an explosive exposé that rips apart the veil of silence surrounding 9/11, and lets readers look at the facts for themselves.
Was the attack on America to open the door for a more aggressive U.S. foreign policy – and uncurbed surveillance of the American people? Compiled from hundreds of newspapers, experts and official documents, "The War On Freedom" is the definitive account of how and why America was attacked.
"What did this administration know, and when did they know it?"
Coming Soon:
Porter Goss and the 9/11 Money Man
We strongly agree with President Bush's decision to move Condoleezza Rice out of her position as National Security Advisor. Ms. Rice's statement from her May 16, 2002 press briefing, "I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile" made it clear that she was ill equipped to be advising anyone on matters of national security. Condoleezza Rice was the top National Security official with President Bush at the July 2001 G-8 summit in Genoa. This was where "U.S. officials were warned that Islamic terrorists might attempt to crash an airliner into the summit, which prompted officials to close the airspace over Genoa and station anti-aircraft guns at the city's airport."
And Ms. Rice's failures did not stop there.
On August 6, 2001, just over a month before 9/11 and during the "summer of threat", President Bush received a Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) at his Crawford, Texas ranch, entitled Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the US. The August 6th memo focused entirely on the possibility of terrorist attacks inside the US. In testimony before the 9/11 Commission, Condoleezza Rice, National Security Advisor to President Bush, stated to the 9/11 Commission that she and President Bush considered the August 6th PDB as just an historical document and commented that this was not considered a domestic warning. At this 9/11 hearing, Condoleezza Rice had taken an oath to tell the truth to the Commissioners, thus, we thought she might be spending her free time defending herself against perjury charges.…

No sensible person would attempt to minimize the gravity of W's recent re-selection to the highest office on the planet, and the implications of his extended reign is understandably sending shockwaves through the hearts and minds of those who are enlightened enough politically to see through this administration's hypocrisies and Christianity-abuse.
Amidst this medieval evolutionary backslide it's understandable that well-meaning social reformers and dedicated 9/11 activists might feel compelled to fold their wings and founder beneath this manufactured, illusory wave of conservatism, frustrated that their simple goal — that this country can emerge from its 9/11 induced coma and right itself again — may remain but a quixotic delusion, the windmills we tilt at having been recently reinforced with DU girded blades.
But I believe, and have said so many times before, that a republican victory in 2004 may not be the disaster that it seems and may, in fact, allow us the protracted opportunity to pursue justice for those who fell victim to 9/11 and the Bushites and finish the job that we spent so much of 2004 beginning. With W and his minions still tight under the spotlight we can deprive our "friendly fascists" of the chance to ride off on their gold plated saddles into an oily Texas sunset.
Certainly we've seen this sort of thing before. The Warren Commission debacle, which predictably concluded that bullet enchanter and Castro confidante Lee… Continue reading
Friday, July 31, 2004 at Congressional hearings on "The 9/11 Commission Report"
(Transcribed by Kyle Hence of 9/11 Citizens' Watch)
Senator Dayton: Thank you Madame Chairman, and I , I also want to commend you for holding this hearing in quick response to the 9/11 Commission's Report. Mr. Chairman, Mr. Co-chairman, I want to say again to you that we are all indebted to you, to the other eight members of the Commission and the staff for this critically important work that you have provided the nation.
It is a profoundly disturbing report because it chronicles in excruciating detail the terrible attack against our homeland, the despicable murder of so many American citizens and the horrible destruction to countless other lives and liberties throughout this nation.
And because of the utter failure to defend them [American citizens] by their federal government, by their leaders, and the institutions that were entrusted to do so and because of serious discrepancies between the facts that you've set forth and what was told to the American people, to members of Congress, and to your own Commission by those, some of those authorities.
There's way too much to cover here but I will begin.
According to your report the first of the four airliner hijackings occurred on September 11th at 8:14 Eastern time. At 10:03 AM, almost two hours later, an hour and forty-nine minutes to be exact, the fourth and last plane crashed before reaching its intended target, the U.S. Capitol, because of the… Continue reading
September 11 was a tragedy that has changed the course of history and the way we live. It was also an environmental disaster of epic proportions. Hundreds of tons of asbestos were pulverized and dispersed around Lower Manhattan and beyond. The tens of thousands of fluorescent lightbulbs each contained enough mercury to contaminate a quarter of a city block. The Trade Center's 50,000 computers were each made with four to twelve pounds of lead. The smoke detectors contained radioactive americium 241. The alkalinity of the air was equivalent to that of Draino. A month after the disaster, Dr. Thomas Cahill of the University of California at Davis found levels of very-fine and ultra-fine particulates that were the highest he'd ever recorded in the course of taking 7000 samples around the world, including at the burning Kuwaiti oil fields.1 In addition there were record levels of dioxin, PCBs, and all the other contaminants one might expect to find when a modern city – which is what the World Trade Center was – burns for several months. In the words of Dr. Marjorie Clarke, 9/11 was "equivalent to dozens of asbestos factories, incinerators and crematoria – as well as a volcano." 2
Nevertheless, beginning on September 13, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued reassurances about the air quality downtown.

Open Letter To Thomas Kean, Chairman Of The 9/11 Commission, from FBI Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds
August 1, 2004
Thomas Kean, Chairman
National Committee on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States
301 7th Street, SW
Room 5125
Washington, DC 20407
Dear Chairman Kean:
It has been almost three years since the terrorist attacks on September 11; during which time we, the people, have been placed under a constant threat of terror and asked to exercise vigilance in our daily lives. Your commission, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States, was created by law to investigate 'facts and circumstances related to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001′ and to 'provide recommendations to safeguard against future acts of terrorism', and has now issued its '9/11 Commission Report'. You are now asking us to pledge our support for this report, its recommendations, and implementation of these recommendations, with our trust and backing, our tax money, our security, and our lives.
Unfortunately, I find your report seriously flawed in its failure to address serious intelligence issues that I am aware of, which have been confirmed, and which as a witness to the commission, I made you aware of. Thus, I must assume that other serious issues that I am not aware of were in the same manner omitted from your report. These omissions cast doubt on the validity of your report and therefore on its conclusions and recommendations. Considering what is at stake, our national security, we are entitled to demand answers to unanswered questions, and to ask for clarification of issues that were ignored and/or omitted from the report.…
Continue readingThe events of Sept. 11 had a big impact in Germany, as they did everywhere else.
Millions of Germans took to the streets to show their solidarity with the people of New York and Washington. Germany passed its own version of the PATRIOT ACT. German forces joined the Afghanistan mission and are still heading it today.
Many building blocks of the official story and much of the evidence that causes skeptics to doubt it comes from Germany. Germany was home until 2000 to the members of the "Hamburg cell," which allegedly provided three of the hijacking pilots. The only two prosecutions of alleged attack plotters – the Motassadeq and Mzoudi cases – were tried in Hamburg in 2002 and 2003. Both cases were voided after U.S. authorities refused to provide evidence that supposedly incriminated the two men.
German opinion about Sept. 11 began to shift as the Bush regime spited its former allies and told outrageous lies in the drive to attack Iraq. In the summer of 2003, several German books presenting alternate views of 9/11 became instant best-sellers. A poll showed that 20 percent of Germans believed the U.S. government likely had a hand in engineering the attacks.
All this served to set off a German "Summer of 9/11." The first major international research conference of 9/11 skeptics, "UNANSWERED QUESTIONS – DEMANDING ANSWERS," was held in Berlin on Sept. 7, 2003. Among the American and British speakers were former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and authors Michael Ruppert, Nafeez Ahmed,… Continue reading

By Nicholas Levis
Mark Dayton has become the first U.S. senator to challenge the rush to consensus that "The 9/11 Commission Report" settles the open questions of Sept. 11, 2001.
In hearings last Friday, Sen. Dayton (D-MN) raised an obvious point: if the timeline of air defense response as promoted in the Kean Commission's best-selling book is correct, then the timeline presented repeatedly by NORAD during the last two years was completely wrong. Yet now no one at NORAD is willing to comment on their own timeline!
When the official story of 9/11 can be changed repeatedly without anyone ever being held accountable, we have no right to ever again expect honest government. Please read the following story and do your part to support Sen. Dayton for highlighting the contradiction, and to encourage the media to follow up.
(See Transcript of Sen. Dayton's remarks of July 31.)
Background: Evolution of the Official Story
From the beginning, the 9/11 investigations, official and alternative, have been about timelines: what happened, who knew and who did what, when, where and how.
Written by the government's Kean Commission, the just-published "9/11 Commission Report" presents a timeline of air defense response that differs radically from all of the previous official stories.
Since Sept. 11 government representatives have in fact promoted a series of mutually contradictory narratives of how the nation's air defenses responded to the unfolding attacks. Various chronologies were presented at different times by the high military command, the North American Air Defense command (NORAD), the Federal Aviation Administration, and now the Kean Commission.…
Continue readingThe goal of our efforts here for the next three months should be to expose the truth of 9/11 before the election – or before whatever event is arranged to upstage the election.
And what is "the truth"?
The truth is that from the first, the 9/11 events were exploited without compunction to the benefit of the military-industrial-intelligence complex and the Bush cabal. 9/11 was used to justify long-planned invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan that may have otherwise been politically infeasible – to push through a long-standing domestic wish-list of repressive measures like the USA PATRIOT Act – and to shift trillions in budgeting priorities from butter to guns. The administration declared a perpetual "War on Terrorism" that "will not end in our lifetimes" (Cheney), which has been waged largely against peoples and countries universally acknowledged to have had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, as with the unprovoked invasion of Iraq. As a response to anti-American terrorism, this strategy seems intentionally designed to make the problem much worse in the long run. Before 9/11, the hardliners of Project for a New American Century admitted they needed an enemy. Now they are making sure that there will always be one.
Based on the open-source evidence available to date, the truth of 9/11 is that the attacks could not have happened in the way they did without help on the inside of the U.S. government or within the vast hidden government apparatus. A real investigation (by whatever body) would have… Continue reading

"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature"s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
– The Declaration of Independence
UnAnswered Question #1: Cui Bono?
A spirited and global citizens' media was birthed by our hunger to learn the truth that lay inside the graves of those who gave their lives on 9/11. This citizens' media brought forward the questions that people throughout the world raised and wanted answered.
These are the UnAnswered Questions of 9/11. These UnAnswered Questions are powerful. The persistence of the citizens' media in raising them and demanding answers has illuminated the failure of those responsible to explain what happened or why.
These UnAnswered Questions have been supplied to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States — by the families of those who died that day, by 9/11 CitizensWatch and many others. To date, the Commission has declined to seriously investigate or address them. Those who have attended Commission hearings anticipate a report that justifies more 9/11 and war profiteering ? more otherwise unjustified public budgets and private profits for large banks, defense contractors and other large corporations.…
Continue readingThose agape at the barbed-wire cage designated as a "free speech zone" in Boston may wonder how it can be topped for its fascist implications. Actually, this already happened last month and went largely unnoticed.
Early in his administration Bush invited a group of pharmaceutical firms, among them companies that have been financing him since he was Texas governor, to join a commission on mental health and disabilities known as the New Freedom Initiative.
In its report presented in June, NFI proposes a universal program of mental health "screening" for everyone in the United States – starting with a captive market of 52 million pupils and 6 million teachers in the schools. The panel recommends that those diagnosed with a syndrome receive a prescription regimen based on treatment algorithms devised by the participating drug companies. (Now what makes me think there is a syndrome waiting for pretty much everyone?) The algorithms (hey, science!) derive from a program already implemented by Bush in Texas.
Unfortunately, Orwellian moments like these are only going to come thicker. The thrust towards the New Feudalism, Corporate Totalitarianism, New World Order, or whatever other name you like is in the open now, and it will not slow down unless we arise as a people to end it.
The New Freedom program fits seamlessly into the Kean Commission report proposals for a national ID system using biometric indicators. If we are all about to be fingerprinted and retinal-scanned and fed into a single database integrating all federal… Continue reading

The Art of WarVery Offensive
Moviemaking Quality:
Primary Audience:
Action Thriller
1 hr. 57 min.
Year of Release:
USA Release:
August 25, 2000
Here's what the distributor says about their film: "Ruthless terrorists are threatening to bring down the United Nations. They frame the one man they believe can stop them—an international security expert named Shaw. Now he must run from his own allies and become a solitary force for good, as he tries to stop what could become World War III." The "f" word was used way too much and if you could sit through the boring first half of the movie you were rewarded with nudity and an end that just makes you happy the movie is over. It's definitely not one girls should see with guys, or see it at all. Not a Christian movie!!!
[1/1½]—Nicole L., age 18 Garbage. There are several grotesque "in your face" death scenes. The most disturbing of which was a female beating then murder. There are also several scenes of graphic nudity and sexual behavior. Add to all this a weak plot and poor acting and you have a real winner. I couldn't tell you the end… I walked half way through.
[1½/1½]—CK, age 26 While this movie was fair for an action flick with very good acting by Snipes and his co-star, there was far, far too much nudity and too many obscenities to make it worth while. Add to that a very liberal political agenda with a plot that paints right wing conservatives as democracy-hating bigots.
—R. Ingram, age 23 Movie Critics
…at least 12 uses of the f-word…
—ScreenIt! …gratuitous scene with female nudity and a brief glimpse of a pornographic video…
—Preview Family Movie and TV Review …so muddled you have to wonder if several pages of the script blew away in Central Park during filming…

May 12, 2005
State schools Superintendent Tom Horne conceded Wednesday he can't stop the Legislature from changing the law so some high school students could graduate without passing AIMS.
But, Horne said, he can still recognize kids who pass Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards by giving them special "superintendent's certificates" along with their diplomas.
Horne has been a vocal opponent of allowing any students in the class of 2006 to graduate without passing AIMS. But on Wednesday, a joint Senate-House conference committee unanimously approved a compromise that, for at least the next two years, lets good grades help make up for falling short on the test.
"I don't agree with what they've done," Horne said. "It hurts the credibility of the system and the motivation of the students. But I'll do everything I can to maintain those high standards."
As an alternative, Horne said he would issue a special superintendent's certificate to seniors who pass AIMS without help from their grades. The certificate would provide more information to employers looking to hire high school graduates, he said.
The legislative compromise approved Wednesday would allow seniors who don't pass AIMS in 2006 and 2007 to graduate if their scores fall within 20 percent of the minimum requirement, and if they maintain good grades. Pressure has been mounting on the Legislature to at least delay the AIMS requirement for a third time as more than half of the class of 2006 hasn't passed.
The compromise is the culmination of negotiations between test proponents including Senate President Ken Bennett, R-Prescott, and opponents led by Sen. Thayer Verschoor, R-Gilbert.
Despite the agreement, several Senate Republicans were still fighting to keep AIMS intact for 2006.
"We're never going to make it harder again," said Sen. Jim Waring, R-Phoenix. "If we pass this, it will never go back to the way it was."
Others said the compromise would create new pressure on teachers to inflate grades of students at risk for failing AIMS.
But Verschoor was upbeat Wednesday about the chances of passing the compromise.
"I think there was plenty of evidence to say this test shouldn't be the sole determining factor," Verschoor said. "So we were able to include school work as part of that factor."
AIMS backers probably can't look for help from Gov. Janet Napolitano if the full Legislature does approve the compromise, possibly today. Napolitano said she opposes a single high-stakes test as the only route to graduation.
AIMS changes
What it means: As amended Wednesday, SB1038 would allow some high school seniors to graduate in 2006 and 2007 without passing AIMS if the student has:
• Passed all classes required for graduation.
• Taken the AIMS test every time it's offered, and completed all available tutoring.
• Scored within 20 percent of the passing score on each section of the AIMS test. For example, if passing a section requires 500 points, a student must have at least 400 points.
• The State Board of Education would establish a system of using class grades to create "bonus points" to raise a student's AIMS score. "A's" would be worth more than "B's," which would be worth more than "C's." Lower grades couldn't be counted.

does anyone have a method for doing this? mine are old, and not non-stick. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have some very old..I call them muffin tins but theya re shaped like miniature bundt pans....and I just wipe with a paper towel with crisco until I have all the loose rust off. Steel wool would remove it, but likely would also remove the tin coating....and so would Naval Jelly...but I don't want to use that where my food is also cooked. Crisco works for me. Linda C |
Actually, Bar Keepers Friend and a Scotch Brite pad does a fine job of cleaning up the rust. |
Barkeeper's Friend contains Oxalic acid, which is a great rust remover, but how do you feel about using it on cooking surfaces? Probably no reason to feel that way...but I am cautious....but if you rinse well......?? Good call GL. Linda c |
How do I feel about using it on cooking surfaces? Considering that oxalic acid is a major component of broccoli and other dark green leafies, doesn't bother me at all. If I stopped using BKF because of the oxalic acid I would have to stop eating all those great veggies too. And if the alternative is to use a non-stick teflon coating, with all the problems that can cause, it's a no-brainer for me. I use BKF on all my stainless cookware, and have never seen a residue from lack of rinsing. They wouldn't have that pretty, polished look if there was residue from the BKF. So, even if oxylic acid was dangerous, there's none left behind. You seem to have a thing about BKF, Linda. But have you ever read the labels on other kitchen cleaning products? Virtually all of them contain ingredents that are potentially harmful. For instance, Soft Scrub (which Friend Wife uses, so happens to be handy) contains "sufactants and hypochlorite bleach" and carries the warning: Avoid contact with eyes. May cause skin irritation." There's also a caution that prolonged use on certain surfaces can cause discoloring. Hmmmmm? Do we really want to use something that can discolor porcelain counters on our dishes? If we started listing the contraindications to using household bleach and household ammonia we'd be here the rest of the night. All in all, I think this is an issue in search of a controversy. But it's not a meaningful problem. |
....particularly parsley, chives, and spinach. Anybody going to give them up because of the high oxalic acid content? Oxalic Acid Content of Selected Vegetables Vegetable Oxalic acid |
Wow! a lot more information than I could have hoped for! Thanks everyone! I'll try the Barkeepers Friend, since I want to get some for my cookie sheets as well. |

It is often cloudy in Deauville, even in summer. But that doesn't stop the daily promenade on the famous boardwalk known as Les Planches. For all the many pleasures of this serene resort town, made semi-famous by its music and film festivals and its appearances in movies and gossip columns, it is the simple act of walking along the sea that defines the place. The beach, which looks across the English Channel, is impossibly wide, studded with the brightly colored, artfully tied-up parasols that are Deauville's visual signature. Looking west, the sand and ocean run into distant cliffs. To the north, the cranes and towers of the port of Le Havre in the distance seem austere and otherworldly rather than industrial, shimmering in the ever-changing light of the Seine estuary, the unique natural phenomenon that drew the Impressionists more than a century ago.
At the edge of the sand are Deauville's beach cabanas, a long row of dressing rooms separated by low fences—each inscribed with the name of a movie star or director: Stanley Kramer, Stanley Donen, Burt Lancaster, William Wyler, Clint Eastwood, Yul Brynner, one after another. But the main attraction here is the stream of people, rich and poor, tweens and teens, refugees from the banlieues and the bourgeoisie, French farmers and Parisian flaneurs, Arabs, Africans, Brits, Italians, and even the odd American, all out for a bracing stroll in the sea air and then, perhaps, an espresso, a croissant, some crevettes grises or moules marinières at one of the beachside restaurants or cafés. They come in the sun. They come when it rains. They even come in winter. It's the best show in town.
Laboring under the impression that France's Côte Fleurie, the 30-mile-long Norman coast between the Seine and Orne estuaries, a favorite of luminaries from Marcel Proust and Claude Monet to Yves Saint Laurent and Angelina Jolie, was a solid stretch of société sur la plage, the Parisian equivalent of New York's Hamptons, I'd worried that I'd feel like an outsider. Would I find my nose pressed against the glass at polo matches, the races at Deauville's half-timbered Clairefontaine hippodrome, five-star meals next to movie stars in Michelin-rated restaurants, and extravagant dress-up evenings at the local casinos? But even though all those diversions are on offer, I quickly realized they don't define the place.
Despite its glamorous image, despite the surrounding countryside full of verdant, rolling horse farms, expensive villas, and châteaux, the Côte Fleurie is serene and low-key, a quiet and accessible alternative to the south of France, a French Montecito as opposed to Malibu. In some ways, the place is defined by what it lacks; although it has beaches, the Côte Fleurie is no Riviera. It has wonderful food, but nothing is over-the-top. There's nightlife, but it too is more patrician than pyrotechnic. The preferred sports are golf, tennis, and horseback riding; there are no mega-yachts, and unlike St.-Tropez and the Côte d'Azur, where the divisions between the very wealthy and everyone else are as clear as the fences dividing public beach from private club, here, you don't need to be in the in-crowd to feel at home.
Cosmopolitan though it is, the Côte Fleurie is also something of a small town. Deauville was conceived during the Second Empire of Napoleon III by the Duke of Morny and a few others—including a doctor who vacationed in the little next-door working-class fishing port of Trouville, just across the Touques River—as a resort for the imperial court and its followers. A village sprang up out of previously deserted marshes and dunes, and it was soon said that wealthy Parisian men kept their wives in Deauville and their mistresses in Trouville.
At the same time, Eugène Boudin, a landscape painter from the area, met a young artist named Claude Monet and taught him to use oil paints and to work outdoors. A local widow, Madame Toutain, lived a few miles away in Honfleur, another eye-catching port town, this one dating back to the 11th century, when it was a fortress guarding the mouth of the Seine. Artists like Monet, Jean-Francois Millet, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Gustave Courbet, and the poet Charles Baudelaire (an early champion of Boudin), all stayed at Toutain's farmhouse on a hill, where they ate the local shrimp and painted nature and the slate-front houses along the town's 17th-century harbor from dawn until dusk—which stretches until after 10 p.m. in summer.
Though the widow's farm was sold in 1870 and the artists scattered, that hillside is now the site of the Ferme St.-Siméon, a pleasant, family-friendly inn and spa with an ambitious (if overrated) restaurant. Today's view across the Seine—straight into the industrial port of Le Havre—is hardly what Monet saw, yet it's still easy to imagine how Honfleur became a crucible for Impressionism, which came into vogue as Deauville did in the late 19th century.
Simultaneously, Cabourg sprang out of the dunes at the western end of this lush stretch of coast. In 1880, Proust spent a childhood summer at its Grand Hôtel. He returned as an adult in 1907, after it had been rebuilt in a failed attempt to turn the family resort into another Deauville. Renamed "Balbec," Cabourg and its palace hotel were key settings in Proust's À la Recherche du Temps Perdu.

[1827] The Presence of P311 in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis Lesions May Link TGFß1 Expression with the mTOR Pathway
JM Moore, K Rao Badri, AN Husain, L Schuger. University of Chicago Medical Center, Chicago, IL
Background: Lymphangioleimyomatosis (LAM) is a rare fatal lung disease effecting women predominantly of child-bearing age. LAM is characterized by the infiltration of the lung by smooth muscle (SM)-like cells leading to cystic destruction and pulmonary insufficiency. The finding of circulating LAM cells in blood suppports the notion that extra-pulmonary involvement is due to metastasis rather than multifocal disease. LAM had been associated with mutations in the tuberous sclerosis complex gene 2 (TSC2 or tuberin) leading to activation of the mTOR (molecular target of rapamycin)/S6K1 signaling pathway. Active mTOR binds to eIF3 (eukaryotic initiation factor 3), displacing and activating S6K1, which promotes translation of cell growth-regulation genes. P311 is an 8-kDa protein found in SM cells and neurons. We recently found that p311 null mice have a severe decrease in SM TGFß1 translation. Since LAM cells exhibit SM-like differentiation, we evaluated LAM lesions for expression of P311 and TGFß1.
Design: Serial sections of FFPE lung tissue sampled from 21 patients with sporatic LAM were immunostained for LAM markers SM actin and HMB 45, P311 and TGFß1. Additional LAM lesions were laser-microdissected for P311 co-immunoprecipitation studies using a specific anti-P311 antibody, followed by mass spectrometry to identify P311 binding partners.
Results: P311 was focally positive in LAM lesions with intensity similar to or higher than that of neighboring vascular SM. LAM cells expressing P311 also showed strong staining for TGFß1, while neighboring blood vessel SM did not express TGFß1. Co-immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry demonstrated that P311 interacts with eIF3.
Conclusions: - LAM lesions are focally and concomitantly positive for P311 and TGFß1. Since the lack of P311 in p311 null mice results in a decrease in TGFß1 level, we postulate that the expression of TGFß1 in LAM cells is related to the production of P311 by these cells. - Since TGFß1 promotes tumor tolerance and stimulates the production of extracellular matrix degrading proteases, the expression of TGFß1 by LAM cells is likely to contribute to the invasive nature of the disease. - Based on the fact that P311 interacts with eIF3, we propose that by such interaction P311 facilitates the binding of active mTOR to eIF3 in the tuberin-deficient LAM cells. However, since vascular SM has normal tuberin function, the mTOR pathway is inactive and is not recruited to promote translation of TGFß1.

On the first day, November 10, there will be a Hospitality Leadership Forum where industry-specific topics will be discussed. Experts will talk about issues of interest and importance for the various groups that attend the show. Everyone and anyone with connections to the lodging and food service industries can benefit from the opportunity to listen to and discuss the hospitality trends of the future.
After a full day of education and interaction with the experts, attendees will have the next three full days to walk the exhibition floor and visit the large and incredibly diverse number of booths. Exhibitors will represent the world of decor, including such things as furniture, lighting, artwork and signage. There will be a good number of booths showing the latest in software and technology.
In the highly competitive and challenging food service environment, buyers will see the new equipment, learn how menus are changing and interact with some of the biggest uniform providers in the country. All types of food and beverage displays will be featured. There will be everything from suppliers of desserts, coffee and tea to non-alcoholic beverages and beer, wine and liquor. Not to be left out are the exhibitors who can offer green cleaning products and different types of guest amenities.
According to the event's organizers, the lodging industry accounts for 33% of all the buyers that will be roaming the exhibition space. Hotel management companies will be among those looking for the newest products that can benefit their operations.
It is recommended that participants allow at least two days to be able to see all of the exhibits. The Javits Center has set aside more than 125,000 square feet of indoor space to accommodate all of the vendors. In terms of size, that is the rough equivalent of a typical Home Depot store, including the separate, outdoor garden area.
Whether you are a hotel owner or responsible for buying the fruits and vegetables for a restaurant, there will be plenty to see. Guests are free to roam around as they please. There will be places to grab a bite to eat or, you can step outside for a while and head over to nearby Herald Square and take a walk inside Macy's flagship store. Enjoy the show and enjoy New York City.

Dear Friends,
I am new to the forum. I live in NC and have violets in my yard that have never become invasive. Occasionally I have transplanted them and have been surprised at how well they do that. I couple of years ago I noticed that some of the plants' leaves were getting very large and ratty toward the end of autumn and that they didn't produce many blooms the following spring. Last fall I cut all of the leaves back and this spring they absolutely exploded! I had blooms galore. My question is this: In the few weeks that my blooms have faded, the leaves are getting quite large again. Should I cut them back now or wait until fall? Thanks, all. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hello ! Are you sure you have violet (more or less invasive), aren't they pansy (not invasive)? Violets don't like to be cut much however pansy do like. Take care :-) |
Cher Thierry, The photo with the cat shows my violets. It was a taken a few weeks ago. I'll post a photo showing how much the leaves have grown. Merci pour la réponse! Hansi |
Dear Hansi Cutting the foliage imposes a rest on the plant so that it can "save energy" for blooming...You should go on doing that during mid summer/early fall as the young leaves that comes just after blooming helps to restore reserves in the roots and initiate the next flowers.. This also helps to prevent red spider mite and others insects and/ or when the foliage is ugly during hot summer... Outstanding foliage all the same!!! ( Don't you go too far with fertilizer levels?! :- ) |
Salut Natalie, Thanks for the response. I suspected that my violets did so well this spring because I cut them back last fall. I'm still a little confused by your message -- can I trim those large leaves now, or should I wait until mid-summer or fall? Merci, Hansi |
Dear Hansi Sorry for my confusing english!! lol I'd suggest to wait until mid summer to cut the foliage.... Any other experience out there? |
i also think it is a good idea to cut back violet foliage. i agree with nathalie, the old foliage can become damaged by red spider and ugly! i remove about 2/3 the height when the heat of summer is passed and autumn is about to begin. i fertilse with a high potash fertiliser at this time, too. i have read that allowing the sun to the crowns of the plants matures them and improves flowering. i'm not sure this is the reason, but cutting back does seem to improve flowering... regards, rob... |
hansi, your common violet is the sister violet, yes? viola sorroria? it looks that way when i examine your photos more closely....perhaps the advice is then not quite the same...please let us know! regards, |

Is time travel possible using merging black holes?
I am a 9th grader in North Carolina, and am interested in a career in Astronomy or Astro physics. My 6th grade science teacher told me about the "black hole theory". He said that this theory states that when several black holes combine, they form a type of "time portal" that can suck you either forword in time of backward in time. My question to you is, is there any realalistic proof that can explain how such a thing could actually occur? And if so what is that proof?
Nothing spectacular (like time travel) happens when two black holes merge. When two black holes merge, they just form a big black hole, that is all. Of course, there ARE some interesting processes that happen before the merger and that is the emission of gravitational waves. When two black holes orbit each other, gravitational waves are emitted in accordance with the laws of general relativity, and as a result the black holes come closer to one another. Finally, there is a burst of gravitational radiation close to the merger. These are the kind of events that scientists are trying to detect with their gravitational wave detectors like LIGO, to prove another facet of general relativity.

UMD Department of Theatre
UMD Department of Theatre
The B.A. degree program is for students who wish to develop a broad-based liberal arts foundation in preparation for further graduate studies (M.A., M.F.A., Ph.D.), or for careers in dramaturgy, playwriting, dramatic theory, theatre history, directing, playwriting or like fields.
The minor in dance provides technical training and in-depth appreciation of dance as a performance and social art form, intended to complement the students major program of study.
The B.F.A. degree program is for students who wish to focus more intensively in a theatre performance or design/technical emphasis as preparation to enter the professional theatre as an actor, designer, technician, stage manager or other similar profession. Beyond the core, a B.F.A. candidate must declare an emphases. We strongly encourage declaring an emphasis by the first semester to stay on track with graduation.
Actor training at UMD is founded on one basic goal: to develop the natural actor in each student and maximize the actors potential as a creative artist. Through a rigorous curriculum, students develop proficiency in everything from realism and Shakespeare to stage combat, dialects, improvisation and acting for the camera, all the while living truthfully under imaginary circumstances.
The musical theatre emphasis is for students who wish to pursue specialized study in preparation for a career that requires song, dance and acting skills. Training focuses on building a marriage between acting, song and dance with specific study in each. Thereby creating what the industry terms a triple threat. The program is multi-disciplined and challenging and demands the utmost physical, mental and emotional strength and commitment.
The design/tech emphasis develops a strong general foundation in scene, costume and lighting & sound design; technical skills in the areas of scene and costume construction as well as light and sound implementation.
The stage management emphasis is designed for students seeking professional training or an intensive course of study and practical application in the area of stage management.
The minor in film studies was developed as an interdisciplinary minor that utilizes courses from both the School of Fine Arts and the College of Liberal Arts. This minor is intended for students who want to pursue an interest in film studies complementing and enhancing a variety of majors across the collegiate units.
The minor in theatre is for students who want to pursue an interest in theatre that will complement their major program and allow the student to study every area available in the theatre curriculum in a general survey.
The UMD Department of Theatre is actively involved in the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. Since 1985, five UMD productions (two of those written by UMD students) have been chosen to perform at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as part of KCACTF, making UMD one of the most successful theatre departments in the nation. In five of the last eleven years, UMD actors have won the regional Irene Ryan acting scholarship and gone on to perform in Washington, DC. In addition, KCACTF has also recognized a number of UMD playwrights, scenic, lighting and costume designers for their artistic achievements inviting them to participate in the national festival.
Theater students at UMD connect with faculty on a level that is unprecedented in higher education. Our students do not compete with graduate students for production opportunities, however leave UMD with portfolios and resumes far more extensive than the average undergraduate student. We are dedicated to the training of excellent theater artists and productions that are acclaimed nationally and internationally.
We welcome you to UMD department of Theatre.

Why Choose a Synthetic Oil?
Synthetic oil is engineered to do the job of a conventional lubricant, but better, as they can be specifically designed to fulfill particular needs. Though a bit more costly to produce and therefore more expensive to buy, synthetic oil can offer significant performance advantage. All lubricants fall into one of three categories: liquid (oil), semi-liquid (grease), and solid (graphite). All three are derived from vegetable, mineral, or synthetic base stock. However, if raw materials alone are used to lubricate modern, high-precision machinery, they quickly overheat, catch fire, evaporate or emulsify. This allows fast moving parts to come into direct contact, and can result in irreparable damage to their surfaces. To guard against this, all lubricants are processed to remove impurities and are bolstered with chemical additives.
Synthetic oils, however, are manufactured specifically to stand up to the severe conditions under which conventional oils might falter. They possess viscosity characteristics superior to those of mineral oils. The resulting lubricants have a molecular structure that meet and often exceed manufacturers' criteria for high-performance engines.
Among the many performance advantages that synthetic oils offer is their ability to remain stable at high temperatures (under which conventional oils begin to break down) and remain fluid at low temperatures (under which conventional oils begin to thicken). This provides optimum lubrication at extreme temperatures, reducing wear for a cleaner, more efficient engine.
Synthetic Oil Grades
Synthetics are sometimes mixed with conventional mineral oils to produce a cost-effective middle ground between the two, referred to as a "semi" or "part-synthetic." However, while semi or part-synthetics and conventional mineral oils are both capable lubricants, fully synthetic oils provide the highest level of engine protection.
Pros and Cons of Using Synthetic Motor Oil
•Synthetic motor will increase the life of an engine
•Longer oil change intervals, because of viscosity breakdown
•Better for extreme driving conditions, especially extremely cold or hot weather.
•Synthetic motor can cost up two three times more than conventional motor oil.
•Synthetic should be used in the beginning of the engines life not if the vehicle already has a lot of kilometres.
•Some experts suggest that synthetic probably should not be used when the vehicle is brand new due to engine break in of the factory oil in many new vehicles.
Is Synthetic Oil Better Than Conventional Motor Oil?
There's no doubt that synthetic oil is better than conventional motor oil. Since synthetic oil is made with smaller molecules and less impurities it's just a plain better lubricant. It's especially better for today's modern engines that have tighter tolerances and smaller oil passages that need a super lubricant. Car manufacturers are requiring that synthetic oil be used more and more. Most new vehicles are at least required to use a synthetic blend.
If you plan on keeping your vehicle for a long time, using synthetic oil is a good idea.

Visions of the Italian coastline flood in through faux archways painted on the walls at Scola?s Restaurant. While waiting for the main meal, guests can nibble on shrimp scampi and eggplant rollotini or settle a bitter arm-wrestling dispute once and for all. The chefs' classic Italian dishes include chicken cacciatore and shrimp piccata, along with fresh-baked brick oven pizza available on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. There?s an ample seafood selection, too?three sizes of prime rib, haddock, and lobster pie?as well as a few American dishes, including a steak-tip dinner. Guests can also order up sandwiches such as a fried clam roll or meatball sandwich.
In addition stocking to an international assortment of wine and beer, the bartenders mix up martinis that range from classic cosmopolitans to the Real Espresso Martini, which patrons can enjoy in Scola?s TV-ladened lounge.
Located inside a sprawling white farmhouse, Tre Amici has a warm, inviting atmosphere that works equally well for a romantic dinner or a large banquet. Italian meals culminate with decadent desserts such as chocolate truffles, lemoncello cake, or individual cake pops plucked from a nearby orchard. Alternatively, a lighter bar menu provides snack options along with an extensive wine and martini list.
Hometown Seafoods' founder, Gene Marshall, uses 40 years in the seafood industry to craft a varietal menu of piscine delicacies. For private-dwelling mastication, take-home entrees—including fresh-baked haddock ($14.99/lb.) and a Cajun-inspired seafood jambalaya ($10.99/lb.)—team up with sides such as rice pilaf or fresh-made stuffed potatoes to feed offspring or the housecats who've taken them hostage. Within the restaurant's confines, appetizers such as land-and-sea-melding, bacon-wrapped scallops stir up appetites ($14.99/lb.) before boats of fried Maryland crab cakes ($8.95) navigate mouth-waters alongside fresh fried clams ($12.95). Grilled salmon showcases its diversity, offering itself as a beef-rivaling burger ($6.95) or full dinner replete with fresh veggies and rice pilaf ($11.95). Soups and chowders, including a local New England clam, provide creamy sustenance ($2.95–$9.95), and sandwiches such as lobster salad ($13.95–$18.95) and crabmeat ($8.95–$15.95) take up residence inside bready borders.

Minute Man National Historic Park preserves the scene of the first Revolutionary War battle 1 mile north of Concord's Colonial Inn. Official and self-guided tours originate at the Minute Man Visitor Center where a multimedia theater presentation elucidates Paul Revere's Ride, the Lexington Green showdown, and the "shot heard 'round the world." Outside the center, the revolutionary spirit propels travelers down Battle Road Trail, a 5-mile stretch of restored colonial landscape between Concord and Lexington that approximates the path of the American Revolution's first battle and the road traveled by the minutemen. One mile east of the Colonial Inn, The Orchard House, former home of Louisa May Alcott, enchants visitors with its rich 19th-century history and authentic family heirlooms and foosball tables. During guided tours, the clapboard manor house where Alcott wrote and set her literary masterpiece Little Women reveals itself to harbor a multitude of period pieces that populate the beloved novel. Perched on an orchard of apple trees, the family home may have hosted legendary intellectuals including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Amos Alcott, Louisa's father, purchased the original property in 1857. It has undergone few structural changes since the family left in 1877, as ongoing preservation efforts help to retain its authentic charm and character.
For seafood and barbecue that's earned the attention?and praises?of Phantom Gourmet and TV Diner with Billy Costa, hungry locals need look no further than Lobster Q. Servers dole out cool pints of local craft beer and baskets of sweet potato fries to complement steamed crab, pulled pork, ribs, and grilled fish entr?es. And, of course, lobster: steamed whole, baked into pies, stuffed into rolls, or hidden in ravioli, lobster is the centerpiece of the restaurant's broad menu. Lobster Q also uses its dual emphasis on seafood and barbecue as an artistic opportunity for kids, awarding a free meal to children who draw the best versions of the chimerically delicious Lobster Pig.
