Whether you're in it for the football or the ads, Super Bowl Sunday offers the perfect excuse to kick back for a few hours while enjoying some all-American beers. And while Vegas oddsmakers are calling the Arizona Cardinals as the easy-to-beat underdogs against the Pittsburgh Steelers this year, here at Imbibe we aren't taking sides. Instead, we'll toast last year's champs, the New York Giants, with a beer from their home state: Coney Island Lager from Schmaltz Brewing. Coppery gold in color with aromas of floral hops and orange peel, this crowd-pleaser is blended from eight different malts and six types of hops. Complex and balanced layers of sweet, toasted malt and bright citrus unfold around a rich, creamy mouthfeel and finish with lingering orange rind and a palate-cleansing, hoppy bitterness. With a personality unlike many macro-lagers and a portion of the proceeds going toward Coney Island USA, a Brooklyn-based arts non-profit, this beer will go down perfectly with all the Super Bowl Sunday staples: nachos, chili, chicken wings, burgers and cheesy commercials.
Welcome to Imbibe Magazine's between-issues look at liquid culture with drink recipes, news and more. From coffee to cocktails, Imbibe celebrates your world in a glass.

Drink of the Week: Cycles Gladiator 2006 Central Coast Syrah
While a label donning a naked woman gliding through the air with a winged bicycle was enough to convince a friend of mine to pluck this bottle of California Syrah from the grocery store shelf recently, what captivated me was the grace and suppleness of the wine inside the bottle. Softer and more delicate than the super-juicy, and sometimes over-extracted fruit-bombs typical of many California Syrahs, the grapes for this Monterey County red ripen slowly on the vine amid the fog and salty air of California's Central Coast, creating a more subtle nose of ripe raspberries; round, sophisticated flavors of bright, red fruit; and a soft finish of delicate oak and vanilla. We paired this sinuous Syrah with a hearty veggie lasagna, but it's versatile enough to open with just about any dish. And at about $10 a bottle, you can even afford to open a second bottle. cyclesgladiator.com —Tracy Howard

Drink of the Week: Obama 44 Inaugural Blend
On January 20, when Barack Obama takes the oath of office to become America's 44th president, there will be plenty of spectators popping open bottles of Champagne, but the folks at SerendipiTea have come up with another way to mark the occasion: Obama 44 Inaugural Blend. "The idea was to capture a bit of the essence of the man Obama," says SerendipiTea co-founder Linda Villano. "So Kenyan black tea (a nod to his Kenyan paternal side) provides the foundation and quiet strength of the cup; for a big dose of all-American patriotism, we have apples and cinnamon; and finally mango, to honor Obama's maternal side, especially his late grandmother in Hawaii." The result is a full-bodied tea that's mellowed by the sweetness of fruit and cinnamon, and that manages to be both energizing and soothing at the same time.

Homebrew Tasting Notes
The last time I reported on my first homebrewing experience, I was harvesting hops, and since then, I've bottled my own creation and christened it Swing Set Organic Ale (name credited to Imbibe art director, Kate Madden, in honor of the swing set-turned-pergola our hops grew on) and put all 450 or so ounces in the basement to get ready for tasting. Thanks to the holidays with a side of travel, our beer only recently debuted in the Imbibe test kitchen.
Even though we added more hops than the recipe called for, I wouldn't characterize this beer as the IPA we intended to make, but hops do shine through in the aroma and finish. Here's how Imbibe editor Hannah Feldman describes it: "A lovely, deep copper color. Chocolate notes, with a nice hoppy bitterness that's more playful than harsh. I could imagine drinking this with roasted pork and homemade applesauce, or with a creamy butternut-squash soup. It has the structure to handle such rich food, but isn't so overbearing that it would drown out the dishes' sweetness."
Homebrewing is definitely worth the time for the results (especially if you have a seasoned homebrewer willing to guide you). Will I go pro like the homebrewers we profiled in the latest issue of Imbibe and online? Probably not; at least, I haven't had that moment... yet.
In the end, our cost to brew worked out to be about equal to what we might have spent on a similar quantity of beer at the store. But popping the cap to enjoy a beer you know came from your own backyard? That's priceless. —Siobhan Crosby

Drink of the Week: Ginger Toddy
I have mixed feelings about being sick—on one hand, the sore throat, sleepless nights and endless need for tissues make me curse the bug that infiltrated my immune system; on the other hand, having a cold is the perfect excuse to sip my way back to health (or at least to sleep) with a warming hot toddy. Enter Domaine de Canton, the baby-ginger and ginseng-infused VSOP Cognac handcrafted in Jarnac, France. When this soft yet spicy liqueur is mixed with brandy, tea and a touch of lemon, it's worth a thousand sneezes. I've tried this toddy with both green and chamomile tea; while the green tea adds a nice grassy note to the ginger liqueur, the herbaceous chamomile harmonizes perfectly with the subtle ginger, brandy and lemon. For an added boost of spice, try steeping some fresh-chopped ginger root with the tea. —Tracy Howard
1 1/2 oz. Domaine de Canton
1/2 oz. brandy
6 oz. strong-brewed, hot chamomile tea
Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Glass: toddy or mug
Garnish: lemon twist (optional)
Combine all ingredients in your favorite tea mug and enjoy.

January's Where to Drink Now: Woodbridge Pub
The party lives on in this former event-supply warehouse, where owner Jim Geary's vision of opening a simple neighborhood bar manifested itself this past September in the form of the light and airy Woodbridge Pub. Situated across an athletic field from Detroit's Wayne State University, Geary's 60-seat watering hole features floor-to-ceiling windows, gilded tin ceilings and a meat-locker men's room door. Bespectacled academics, doting grandparents and local beer enthusiasts belly up to the reclaimed wood bar and order from the broad beer list, including Motor City's Ghettoblaster, and from the "no microwave, no fryer" food menu, featuring a homemade black-bean burger with caramelized onions and a balsamic glaze. As if that's not enough, weekly events, like "Irish Whiskey Appreciation" and "Michigan Beer" nights, mean there's always a reason to stop by. 5169 Trumbull St., Detroit, MI; 313-833-2701.

Chemical Games
The successful assault on the northern city of Tal Afar brought the prospect of chemical warfare in Iraq to the fore. Two al Qaeda linked groups claimed to have conducted successful attacks using chemical weapons last week. The Army of the Victorious Sect stated they attacked the Interior Ministry with rockets equipped with chemical weapons, while the Islamic Army of Iraq also took credit for firing a chemical mortar round. No proof of a successful chemical attack was found nor were any unusual injuries reported.
Shortly after the purported attacks, an al Qaeda linked web forum praised the attacks and discussed the prospects of the terrorist group being in possession of chemical weapons. The discussion shifted to al Qaeda's capabilities, and their future plans; "The author questions if events in Tal Afar provoked the use of chemical weapons, and then asks if al Qaeda in Iraq is preparing such weapon for use outside of Iraq, possibly against "underground railways in America." Members respond that al Qaeda in Iraq has always possessed such capabilities "
Al Qaeda subsequently denied any involvement, and also distanced itself from The Army of the Victorious Sect.
While it is clear the two reported incidents are false, a curious find turned up in Tal Afar. Col. McMaster reports on the discovery made by U.S. troops when conducting door-to-door searches:
In terms of specialized weapons, some crude attempts, I think, in the western part of the city. We've been able to put this picture together now. The enemy had rigged a lot of buildings for destruction, and they wanted to time the destruction of these buildings with the entry of our forces. In one of these buildings the enemy had big barrels of chemicals that had explosives implanted in the chemicals, wires running around, and the whole house was rigged for demolition. Around this house a lot of families were living. Our soldiers were conducting an area reconnaissance operation. They went into this house. Immediately their eyes began burning, their throat began burning, so they withdrew out of the house immediately and then we conducted reconnaissance with some chemical protective gear and with a remote reconnaissance capability into the house and we could tell that the thing was rigged with chemicals.Al Qaeda has been very interested in augmenting their arsenal with chemical and biological weapons. After Afghanistan fell to U.S. forces, a treasure trove of data on al Qaeda's programs was discovered, including video tapes of experiments on animals.And on the sort of jihadist and extremist websites, they've been saying, you know, that coalition forces are using chemical weapons. I think what they had hoped to do was detonate this building, kill innocent civilians in this neighborhood and then blame it on coalition forces. But we preempted their ability to do that by evacuating the civilians from that building
We found some manuals that describe how they could make sort of these kind of chemical dirty bombs and so forth. But, you know, if the enemy had the capability to use it, I mean, this enemy is absolutely unscrupulous and I have no doubt that they would use it against innocent civilians and armed forces. So all the more important reason to make sure they don't have a place to develop these kind of plans, to conduct this kind of training. And that's, I think, one of the greatest success of this operation, is the safe haven is gone for them.
There are also two well documented cases of attempted attacks, both were uncovered beforehand - a ricin attack against France and Britain, and a chemical attack against Jordan. The foiled attack on Jordan could have killed thousands of people. Zarqawi was implicated in both plots, and al Qaeda's WMD mastermind Abu Khabab was involved with the ricin plot. The find in Tal Afar should come as no shock, as al Qaeda has been attempting to create, obtain and use these weapons for quite some time.

What will Cindy do?
I believe George W. needs to have that second meeting with Cindy! Yes, he should admit that all of his plans to stop the terrorists have uncovered many more than expected and plead for her assistance.
Cindy, we ask you for all of us, would you please go to Iraq to stand outside Al Zarqawi's roving compound to speak with him? Tell lil Al to first remove his gas mask and say he didn't have to kill your son, and that GW says we will leave Iraq if he does first. Cindy, please tell the rest of those boys in al Qaeda they must go home as well!
If you do this for all of us in America Cindy, then we promise to elect you as our next president in 2008, until then, stop trying to play as our Commander in chief.

Please, guys, stop mentioning the bitch in the ditch already. She's mentally insane, as the majority of the people belonging to the extreme left group out there. Activists as a profession.
And the ideea that everyone is entitled to have ANY opinion is dead wrong. Depends if that opinion does not incite to violence, hate, extermination of political enemy, attacks to private property, and so on, and so on.
If not, let's bring KKK back to have daily conferences, put every member of ACLU to death chamber, shoot michaelmoore in the stomach (hey, it's an opinion, no? they want to storm White House for a change),... So, accepting any opinion as a right degraded from initial intention to allow now the mentally ill people and terrorists to express themself in public.
Please, again: stop give attention to this bitch, this is all purpose of their activism. Attention.
Back on topic, every country has large stockpiles of chemical weapons. Even if it's an international ban on them, I don't think that old stockpiles were destroyed, and I think the chemicals are still dangerous after long periods. I have some limited military training, and I know that some of chemical weapons are available in large quantites and quite effective, since WW1 even.
My question is, why Al Quaeda did not manage to buy until now such kind of weapons? Maybe because it's not as large and well organized as MSM wants us to think? Just all tiny groups from the past are agreed to claim all their attacks in the name of Al Quaeda, so they give impression of a big master plan?
The greatest danger I see now, even for developments in Iraq, is Gaza. It's obvious that Hamas will take control and offer a safe heaven to all terrorists in the world. I give PA "authority" one month, two at most until they will be eliminated... A large scale attack on Israel to provoke a military answer will inflame all Middle East.
What US will do then?
Posted by Don Cox at September 18, 2005 5:45 AM ET:
The "big barrels of chemicals" are most likely to be common industrial chemicals such as sulphuric or hydrochloric acid, or caustic soda, or inflammable solvents such as paint thinners. These are all easy to get hold of.
Any of these has a nasty effect if sprayed hot over an area, but they are not as sinister as nerve gases. They are the kind of stuff that gets spilt in motorway accidents, following which the road is closed and men in protective suits mop up.

It is my belief the AQ goons are doing it all for propaganda effect. They see some troops coming to a building, they blow it up they video the soldiers and then they pan to civvies gagging and coughting. They then claim our forces are deplying poison gas. Al-Jazeera ANDAl-Pazeera (aka the AP) then broadcast this film to the world and without any investigation or skepticism on their part repeat the terrorist charges & video.
In fact the terrorists are already claiming we are using poison gas. The only difference is civvy walks near a unexploded rigged building and gets affected by the poison.

Time does a massive hit piece on the Iraq War. I love how they pretend Zarqawi isn't a part of this and that the war is already lost. This is pathetic, they are asking us to give up insurgent operations in Anbar.
Saddam's Revenge
The secret history of U.S. mistakes, misjudgments and intelligence failures that let the Iraqi dictator and his allies launch an insurgency now ripping Iraq apart
In fact, some Iraq experts in the U.S. intelligence community have come to the conclusion that Iraqis' courageous recent steps toward democracy-the elections in January and the writing of a constitution that empowers the religious Shi'ites and the Kurds (though it is resoundingly opposed by the Sunnis)-have left the country in a more precarious position. "The big conversation in our shop these days," says a military-intelligence officer, "is whether it would be a good thing if the new constitution is voted down [in the public referendum] next month."
Iraq experts in the intelligence community believe that the proposed constitution, which creates autonomous regions for the Kurds and Shi'ites in the oil-rich north and south, could heighten the chances of an outright civil war. "A lot of us who have followed this thing have come to the conclusion that the Sunnis are the wolves-the real warriors-and the religious Shi'ites are the sheep," says an intelligence officer. "The Sunnis have the power to maintain this violence indefinitely."
Another hot debate in the intelligence community is whether to make a major change in the counterinsurgency strategy-to stop the aggressive sweeps through insurgent-riddled areas, like the recent offensive in Tall 'Afar, and try to concentrate troops and resources with the aim of improving security and living conditions in population centers like Baghdad. "We've taken Samarra four times, and we've lost it four times," says an intelligence officer. "We need a new strategy."
But the Pentagon leadership is unlikely to support a strategy that concedes broad swaths of territory to the enemy. In fact, none of the intelligence officers who spoke with TIME or their ranking superiors could provide a plausible road map toward stability in Iraq. It is quite possible that the occupation of Iraq was an unwise proposition from the start, as many U.S. allies in the region warned before the invasion. Yet, despite their gloom, every one of the officers favors continuing-indeed, augmenting-the war effort. If the U.S. leaves, they say, the chaos in central Iraq could threaten the stability of the entire Middle East. And al-Qaeda operatives like al-Zarqawi could have a relatively safe base of operations in the Sunni triangle. "We have never taken this operation seriously enough," says a retired senior military official with experience in Iraq. "We have never provided enough troops. We have never provided enough equipment, or the right kind of equipment. We have never worked the intelligence part of the war in a serious, sustained fashion. We have failed the Iraqi people, and we have failed our troops."

Soldier's Dad,
Hope you're right, but it seems to me that in Basra the Brits are turning a blind eye to the Iranian-sponsored Shia militia. They act now as follow-up of recent British casualties in the area.
I think Steven Vincent pointed to this also, before he was murdered. Of course there were some acts of revenge against former Baath members, but also were reports of Christian students (girls) being shot, and I'm not aware of a clear message from British forces in order to interdict such behaviour.
Posted by The Honest Liberal at September 18, 2005 1:43 PM ET:
We on the left control the media. This is no secret.
The reason we on the left chose the make Cindy Sheehan a national issue is that, as the mother of a fallen soldier, it is easy to use her to say many anti-American things, while deflecting all criticism against someone who has suffered such a loss.
We found Cindy Sheehan and cultivated her into a national issue to humiliate Bush, much like Abu Ghraib and the Guantanamo Qu'ran. This is one more victory in our quest to weaken America.
We liberals are succeeding.
The next thing we will use to humiliate America : the milestone of 2000 troop deaths. That will be reached in a month or two, and we liberals we use that to maximum effect to demoralize America.
Posted by Soldier's Dad at September 18, 2005 2:26 PM ET:
The British definition of "Peace Keeping" is somewhat more narrow than the US definition. There is a semi-functioning police force in Basrah, and relagating things to the "This is an Iraqi Internal Problem" is pretty common.
IMHO The fundamental problem with Sammarra is that is has a pretty good sized population of former upper level(not top) bureaucrats that have found themselves unhappily unemployed(permanently). They are more than happy to "facilitate" violence, but actually catching them is about as difficult as catching organized crime bosses.
At some point, as Iraqi policing gets better, the price of paying someone to place an IED or fire off a mortar will rise significantly. The violence in Sammara is economically based, rather than idealogically based. As long as it costs $5 to have a mortar fired off, they will continue.
Posted by Soldier's Dad at September 18, 2005 3:40 PM ET:
Another area that has to be given thought to in the Iraqi context is the "definition of a civil war"
Every major city in the world has some version of "Jets vs Sharks","Crips vs Blood" street rivalry crap.
Is the Mahdi Army a street gang or a militia?
Given that a significant portion of the fighters caught in Tal Afar were in the 15-17 year old age group, are they a terrorist organization or a street gang?
Given the propensity of the press to call everything a "Major" something or other, real measurement rather than words without definition are important.
Should a mortar, fired into a field, hitting and damaging nothing be called a "Terrorist Attack" or useful hijinx. (I have friends that are real fans of making acetalyne bombs(fill a balloon with acetalyne, and light the string on fire) on the 4th of July. They shake the windows, can be heard for miles, and hurt no one). Are these terrorist attacks?
Posted by The Honest Liberal at September 18, 2005 3:55 PM ET:
Hmm.. I can see it now. The US military goes in and kills some of their opponents in Tal Afar.
A camera crew gets some exclusive footage : lo and behold, we liberals now have footage of what appears to be American troops killing 15 year olds in cold blood.
I can see it now - this will allow us to humiliate America far more than Abu Ghraib ever did.
This, couple with the milestone of 2000 US troop deaths, will probably be the final nails in the coffin. We liberals will use our power in the media to fully destroy America's will to fight, and thus America will have to withdraw, utterly humiliated.
You pro-Americans actually think that simply doing well in the battlefield matters. As far as the propaganda war, we liberals have won so easily, that it was hardly a challenge. 40% approval and dropping.....

disHonest ilLiberal, The best you could do so far is obtain footage of an adult terrorist that was said to be dead, but then moved and was perceived to be sneaking an attack, and who then got re-shot - in Fallujah last November.

The media has been going all out blowing up Z-man of late.
Using enemy body counts as a benchmark, the U.S. military claimed gains against Abu Musab Zarqawi's foreign-led fighters
But by many standards, including increasingly high death tolls in insurgent strikes, Zarqawi's group, al Qaeda in Iraq, could claim to be the side that's gaining after 2 years of war. August was the third-deadliest month of the war for U.S. troops.
Zarqawi's guerrillas this spring and summer showed themselves to be capable of mounting waves of suicide bombings and car bombings that could kill scores at a time and paralyze the Iraqi capital.
The same morning, scores of al Qaeda fighters streamed into the streets of Ramadi, taking up positions with new automatic weapons. Witnesses said one group of insurgents proudly displayed a new rocket launcher that put U.S. armored vehicles in the glowing red beam of its targeting laser.
The fact that American forces still attack entire cities and towns in the west is a sign of how much territory remains out of U.S. and Iraqi government control, said Dulaimi, a member of the Zarqawi-allied Ansar al-Sunna Army.
"I can say that the legend of the undefeated U.S. Army is gone, owing to our rockets and mines, which are separating them from it day after day," Dulaimi said in a telephone interview. "If they bet that time will be the way to end the resistance, they are wrong, because we are stronger since a year ago or maybe more."
Jeffrey White, said insurgents have fought U.S.-led forces to a stalemate at least in Anbar province, northern Babil province and some other areas.
For Zarqawi's purposes, U.S. claims of denying insurgents a lasting haven probably mean little, Cordesman said. "Being fluid, dynamic, scattered, broken out into cells seems to be the way any effective insurgency wins, or certainly endures," he said.

You see? We liberals who control the media can shape public perception easily. If we say Zarqawi is winning, most people will believe it.
It this becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy with our involvment. Hence the approval of the war is at just 40%.

From wp article posted above, more blowing up:
"Using enemy body counts as a benchmark"
So now this is wrong? media is doing this every day, at the end of their articles, only is not terrorist's body count...
"Dulaimi said in a telephone interview"
Interview with whom? Telephone calls are the easiest to intercept... besides, that "journalist" have some answers to give...
"Journalists" continue their holy war against truth, by putting Coalition military operations against armed terrorists on the level with terrorists actions by jihadis against Iraqis civilians, or summary executions of captured Iraqis soldiers (they are POW, Ellen, remember? where is media outrage?)
Btw, some extra information related to this executions of Iraqi soldiers? I mean, this guys are rounded up one by one from their houses, or captured in ambush? If it's the last, how can they surrender without a fight, after so many cases of POW extermination? They were unarmed, asleep... I cannot figured out - those are trained soldiers or what!?!?

that when Time Mag posts an article on this war, JOE KLEIN will be the snake inside the lamb(basting) skin. He is the worst of the worst when it comes to leftist-speak!!!!!!!!!
Go ahead and do your own search on this pro al Qaeda master.

Time is Now quoting intelligence sources. I thought those sources were inept.
As far as disHonest Liberal, I don't even read his posts anymore, just pass right over them.
I noticed there's a show coming up on the Military Channel, "Kiowa down", about a rescue in Tal Afar that turned into 4 hour battle. Would this be about what happened there recently. The've had some pretty good programs in the past, and I'm wanting to see it, on Sep 26th.

You won't see any of this stuff to justify why we are there in the MSM or at list spin it that way.

Two Bosses Enter: Echo of Sylvanas vs. Warlord Zon'ozz {WoW}
Mar 20th 2012 5:31PM Actually it won't work that way because of a little known point on the shado orb mechanic: It has a several second CD on the bounce where it can't hit Zon'ozz. My raid wiped a half dozen times in a single night even though we knew the mechanics because our groups where to close together and when the melee group moved it went strait through Zon'ozz cause of the internal CD (and bounced off the tank). This means during ghoul phase it would bounce against the ghouls repeatedly, frying them all, allowing Zon'ozz to escape the ring and his orb to hit the wall, giving him the victory.
What are multiboxers and how do you fight one in PvP? {WoW}
Mar 1st 2012 3:24PM I've seen 1 or 2 multiboxers in action and every time I do I dream of rolling a priest and using Psychic Scream on them. With all 5 of the charecter running in a different direction I imagine it would be a massive pain to get recoordinated. Then again, even if I did have a priest over lvl 20 (I don't) I probably wouldn't survive long enough to get close enough to pull that off.
5 common mistakes paladin tanks make {WoW}
Feb 4th 2012 12:26AM This is only common in leveling pallies that I've seen. Usually by the time someone hits 85 a healer yells at them to stop doing that, Holy Light isn't saving their lives, it's making them take tons more damage so he/she can't heal them without blowing all their mana. I admit I have been this healer rather often.
Breakfast Topic: What are your WoW pet peeves? {WoW}
Jan 28th 2012 12:52PM I've had max lvl charecters come up to me and do this on my alts. Sometimes I even accept for the lolz, turning and running as fast as I can as soon as it starts so they are left going "WTF?" while I laugh like a maniac.
Two Bosses Enter: Echo of Baine vs. Peroth'arn {WoW}
Jan 16th 2012 10:28PM To all those giving this to Paroth'arn on mechanics you're forgetting a few key things. Since both combantents are expected to fight intelegently Baine can trigger his lava buff as often as Peroth'arn does. Being 1vs1 Peroth will also take the full brunt of magma damage every time Baine shatters the rock, and when the eye phase starts the eyes will either die to the lava or Bane can avoid them with his leap, giving Peroth'arn the debuff for failing to find anyone (Not sure why that wasn't mentioned, but I've seen it before). All in all I think Baine has this one easily despite Peroth'arns DoT's and stacking buff.
Know Your Lore: Top 10 lore developments of 2011, part 3, page 2 {WoW}
Jan 15th 2012 5:25PM I am so sick of hearing this because it isn't true. You are saying that lvling is to fast and you end up way over leveled for a zone by the end of it. This is simply because everyone levels now with the guild exp boost and heirlooms, which massively increases your exp gain. With these exp bonuses of course you over lvl the zone at the end. Since the start of cata I've leveled three alts with no heirlooms not in a guild and the experience curve has been perfect, ending one zone's quests just as I hit a high enough level to move to the next.
The Daily Quest: Lemme give you some advice {WoW}
Jan 9th 2012 6:26PM I've had conversations like that, but for me it always happens when someone asks for a JC in trade and I answer and they're not sure what to get. I probably over explain though XD
The Queue: Your head will hurt after looking at this {WoW}
Jan 5th 2012 11:20AM No, he's saying people who only do LFR keep doing it to get the entire teir 13 so they can transmog to it in later sets cause it's so awesome.
Profiting off the Darkmoon Faire {WoW}
Jan 2nd 2012 9:14PM BG's can be queued for at lvl 10, but all of the artifacts require lvl 15, so won't drop in the lowest BG bracket.
Breakfast Topic: What starting zone bores you? {WoW}
Oct 29th 2011 10:27AM /facepalm. I ment to put this in the Queue today, don't know why I thought this was it.

One of my favorite vehicles to follow for the past couple of years has been the LincVolt – Neil Young's special project to take one of the world's heaviest production cars (a 1958 Lincoln Continental) and turn it into a green cruiser running on biodiesel and electric motors. It's cool, it's beautiful, and it friggin works.
Well, it did. Until the warehouse burnt up with the car in it.
Apparently the crew had been testing a new charging unit for the car, plugged it in, and whoever was supposed to be watching it (their normal procedure) didn't. A fire ensued, burning up the charging unit and the whole back end of the car.
Shortly afterward, Neil Young turned 65. After signing him up for Medicare, his wife Pegi gave him a present: a 1958 model parts car to help him rebuild the LincVolt.
(I hope when I turn 65, my wife gives me something that cool.. the car, not Medicade)
The LincVolt has been returned to its birthplace and the parts and plans are rolling in. The rebuild means opportunity for the team to try some new things and technologies. After testing some key components, they found that much of what was under the hood survived the fire intact, so most of the work will be body restoration and some electronics. The motor and engine got through OK.
Here's to the LincVolt and its team. It'll be great to see the car restored and back on the road. Who'd imagine a 1958 Lincoln Continental getting better than 100mpg, even at highway speeds? Definitely one of the coolest revivals of all time. Can't wait for the comeback sequel!

Geek. Engineer. Researcher. I'm a computer scientist with a research and development background in vertical search engines, semantic technologies and web services. I am very interested in all things search engines and web mining, and am currently looking into app development (especially being a big fan of the new Windows 8 apps) and new (to me), modern development frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails.
In my former lives I was a journalist, tried my hand in film editing, completed a bank training and worked shortly as a stock dealer. Some of these stints were more exciting than others, but they all allowed me to grow and learn a lot in a short time. And although each single venture turned out successful, I found my real passion with computer science, building new things and trying to push the boundaries of the state-of-the-art technologies.
Originally from small Luxembourg, I spent many years living and working in Innsbruck & Vienna, Austria. End of 2010 I moved to the US with my husband Jos, and find myself now in Seattle, a.k.a. "rain city".
Until April 2012 I worked as a consultant for seekda, the Austrian startup company which I joined as their very first employee in 2008 and left as head of research before moving to the US. My passion at seekda was our great and unique web service search engine (which you can learn more about here). And it wouldn't have been the same without the people - I had the best imaginable co-workers at seekda! :) Currently I'm enjoying some time off and am looking for challenging opportunities in Seattle.
Besides the time I spend keeping up with technology news and following interesting online classes to learn cool new things (and keep the brain fresh?), I am both an avid reader (mostly fantasy & sci-fi) and an avid gamer. I also love traveling (and wish I could do more of it) and taking pictures - I am constantly trying to immortalize things and situations that catch my eye.

Ashraf From past experience I've learnt to wait for your good news whenever there is that mischievous twinkle in your eye:wink:
BTW I also want to inform you that http://www.giveawayoftheday.com is having Zoner Photo Studio 12 today.
I feel there my be something significant from you in the offing because your review was missing when I browsed there.Besides GOTD did not suffix stating it to be Professional. It just says Zoner Photo Studio 12
May 28, 2009
Hey thank you Jeanjean!
I got it and it looks like a pretty good program. Admittedly, I haven't played around with it a lot yet, but from what little I have done and the features list, it looks really good.
Plus getting it this way, I don't have to worry about loosing it if I have to do a reinstall. I've got the code key and it's registered to me instead of GAOTD.
Have a great day!!!

November 29, 2009
If you follow the advice from Jeanjean, you'll get the express version and the version offered GOTD is home edition.
The installer ( the original setup file, not the setup file from the extract, if you know what I mean :wink: ) GOTD been offered has been integrated with license for the name of each user.
December 1, 2009
Quite confusing. On opening the registration page provide by jeanjean:
"Zoner Photo Studio 12 Xpress Edition for PC USER (AU)"
Welcome to the FREE registration of Zoner Photo Studio 11 for PC USER. Licence Code that will activate Edition will be sent to you by e-mail. Please fill in your Name and e-mail address correctly.
Is it Photo Studio 11 or 12?????

I'm having a problem here. The software downloaded nicely, I did the registration thing and received a license code… but after repeated attempts to open the program and enter the code, it comes up for a few moments and Windows (I'm running Vista 64 Home Premium) shuts it down. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there something I might do differently?
February 1, 2010
Hi Ashraf:smile:
Tonight has arrived in India.It is IST 2035 hrs.
Eagerly awaiting the "tonight" news from you.:smile: Are you by any chance providing an encore by delivering yet again an eternally-updateable-professional-edition like you did with WinUtilities?:wink:
Boy that would be a second time!Do it thrice & it would be a hatrick!
For the present all I can gather is that this app comes in 3 flavours – home, express & professional & the last one is the most feature rich amongst the 3 obviously.:lol:

Ok, the posts about home and express versions made me wonder what the differences are too. So I did some digging.
I couldn't find a comparison between the two anywhere, (altho there is a comparison between home and professional available on their website) so ended up throwing caution out the window and downloading the GAOTD version.
It installed and updated cleanly over the express version. The only difference was that I had to do a computer restart after installing the home version.
When I opened the program, the first thing I checked on was panorama, because that isn't available in the express version. It's there now, in the home version. A quick look at the rest of the options show more are available now throughout.
My big reason for liking the way Jeanjean originally posted was that I'd have the code key, so I could reinstall it after an OS reinstall (which I seem to end up doing once or twice a year, because I do something wrong and mess it up.). I figure I'll stick with the home version now, and if I later have to reinstall the OS, I'll at least be able to use the express version after that.
October 22, 2008
My "news" was that Zoner Photo Studio 12 was going to be on GOTD… lols.
BTW is Zoner Photo Studio 12 Xpress a magazine specific freebie? (If it is I need to take it down.) At first I thought it was, but decided to leave it up for a little bit considering GOTD was going to run a similar promotion the same day. However, I have been in contact with the developer of Zoner Photo Studio and they did not protest against this being posted in the forums so I am thinking it may be OK?

The APA's Lonely Hearts Club
The Lonely Hearts Club is a special club for animals that have been at the APA for 6 months or longer. Because there is no time limit on how long an animal stays at the APA, some stay at the shelter for extended periods of time as they wait for their forever homes.
The adoption fee for the dogs in the Lonely Hearts Club is just $100. The adoption fee for all cats at the APA is "Pick Your Price" Like all animals at the APA, they are spayed or neutered, given preliminary vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, tested for heartworm disease or feline leukemia and have a two week limited health guarantee.

The Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors (BOS) left the cash proffer at its current $18,966 per new dwelling unit that will be built this year.
That could change as early as July if the county's Budget and Management Department is able to revise the current county policy.
The Chesterfield County budget staff annually calculates the impact of development of each residential dwelling unit on select capital facilities (roads, schools, parks, libraries and public safety) and evaluates the Board's cash proffer policy for possible amendments.
After public wrangling through developer's and business-group forums focused on eliminating or reducing the cash proffer, BOS first discussed the notion of adjusting the cash proffer policy and then adopted the current rate for this year. The Budget and Management Department was asked to come back in July with a plan.
Chesterfield's Robert Olsen said, "That's typical, they'll do what they want while everyone's on vacation and most people won't know the difference."
According to Chesterfield's Budget and Management Department, the BOS can change their cash proffer policy each year and revise its maximum per-dwelling unit cash proffer amount that can be accepted from applicants seeking to rezone property.
Allen Carmody, director of the Budget and Management Department, said the actual cost, based on a complicated formula, of the impact of a new home or multi-family home for the fiscal year starting in July, is $19,743, which is 16.9 percent lower than last year's calculated cost of $23,747. The change in the impact is a result of a reduction in the road component of the calculation.
The Board had the option to establish a maximum cash proffer amount up to the calculated cost of $19,743.
The BOS discussed alternatives to the cash proffer, as well as, how to replace the loss of revenue if the proffer was eliminated before voting.
Carmody said the Board had a number of options to evaluate the cash proffer.
The applicant (developer) could offer improvements such as, off site road improvements; offer a better quality project design standard; limit the number of bedrooms, for instance in an apartment community; or improve the quality of a community in a revitalization area.
Differential proffers, a term that means different proffers for different types of developments and houses, was a theme that occupied the discussion.
"There's no reason that we can't modernize our system, not do away with it but, modernize it and see how it comes out," said Dan Gecker, supervisor of the Midlothian District. "It seems to me that we can get much more refined in our approach to this. Instead of looking backward at this we should look a little more forward."
Supervisor Gecker said that a formula that would allow multi-family developments, which typically don't add that many students to the schools would to pay less cash proffer.
"One of the things we hear is, if I'm building a 5,000 square foot house I'm paying the same proffer as a 1,500 square foot home," Gecker said. "If we have all this data, and a number of jurisdictions have done this, there's no reason we can't modernize the system."
Areas that are relatively built out and have schools, fire stations and roads are less expensive to develop. In the rural areas, development would involve building roads, schools, fire stations and other infrastructure.
"Firm rules are a better way to do it than do it case by case," Gecker said.
The conversation was not meant to conclude during Wednesday's meeting although many thought it would. The proffer citizens committee charged with recommending a solution for the proffer debate worked toward a deadline that would bring the issue to a vote on May 22.
"The model that we use is the same as the one we used in 1992," said Steve Elswick, who represents the Matoaca District.
Not in lockstep with Gecker, Supervisor Elswick said "When you establish firm rules you really don't have a handle on the actual cost,which are always changing."
Jim Holland, Dale District Supervisor, added that there is not a trade-off on design standards.
"I would agree with that except the'quality issue' because that is a long-term impact on our county," Holland said.
Another issue in Chesterfield according Elswick, is that in Henrico a developer can go through the zoning process and be building on their land in six months. He said he had spoken to at least one developer who said it could take two-to-three years in Chesterfield, so there is no way they can estimate their cost.
Chairman Dorothy Jaeckle weighed in the design standards issue saying that there would be no way that a builder could pay the current cash proffer and offer the same low-maintenance home that a $500,000 house would have.
Gecker responded that with a sliding scale of proffers a builder of lower income homes could use his proffer savings to use better materials.
The BOS finally came to the conclusion that they should refrain from making any decision until the budget and management department could put together a formula that would reflect the discussion that the Board completed at last week's meeting. Further discussion or a vote on the direction of cash proffers would wait until July. Zoning cases have been piling up at the planning commission level although the BOS did not discuss the issue.

Start by picking out matching fabrics you want to use to make a set or just pick out random scrap fabrics. This is the hardest part!
Next you want to cut out 1 square of fabric for each coaster. The size is going to depend on how big the base of the stemware is. In my case I used 8" by 8" squares which fit most wine glasses. For a smaller glass or champange flute, I used 7" by 7" squares.
(You should probably make a sample first to make sure they will fit)
Fold each square diagonally in half with right sides together. Stitch along the short edges with a 1/4" seam allowance and don't forget to leave an opening to turn (about a 1.5" opening) approx. in the middle of one short edge. Clip the corners.
Then you need to turn the piece inside out, with right sides showing. Be sure to push out all the corners so they are nice and sharp. Then Press. (don't worry about closing the opening, we will do it later on)
If you want to jazz it up a bit, add a decorative stitch to the long diagonal egde like I did!
Bring up one of the corners to the middle point of the piece and press.
Repeat with the other corner. Now you should have a square with a diagonal opening (decorative stitching) down the middle.
Now all you have to do is top-stitch, close to the edge, along all four sides (this is where the opening from earlier is closed up)
Go slip it on your favorite wine glass, pop the cork, and drink away! Don't worry, if you have too much and slosh, your new cute coaster will catch the mess for ya!
P.S. They are washable!!!
Repeat with all the other squares you cut out for a whole set!

Anyone out there know a native plant person who specializes in carexes, grasses, and luzulas? I need a speaker on this topic for an early fall meeting. Small stipend. |
Follow-Up Postings:
check with your local college or ag extension service. there are agricultural extension agronomists and horticulturists who specialize in this and whose job is to serve the public. |
I have used one fellow from Valdosta State - Richard Carter. |
Thanks for the responses. Our local extension has little to no interest in natives. There are a few people from the Raleigh area of NC State, but they are usually too much in demand. Ferns and grasses still give me major problems in ID. Saw a new grass in the mountains this past week, but nothing in my books looked like it. I failed to take a photo, so I guess I will have to wait until next year to find out what it is! |
Grasses are often identified by their seeds. I am surprised your extension agronomist is not interested, some even specialize in native weeds that may occur in crop fields. harumph! : ) |
I received a book on weeds for my fifth year MG present. Most of these plants were "acceptable" natives. NC State has trained people, but most of the local agents are generalists. Our local agent often recommends plants that are on the invasive list, much to my sorrow.Some agents in other locales are more in tune with the native/green movement. I did not deal with the commercial agents when I was with MG, so there may be someone there who knows about these "weeds." I will check. |

I'm wondering if anyone might now the approximate value, style and period of this bedroom set. It was inherited from my grandparents -- it may have belonged to my great grandparents. I'm guessing it's from the 1920s. In addition to the full size curved sleigh bed, wardrobe and dresser/mirror, there is a matching chair with a caned seat and luggage rack with a caned top. Any insight is appreciated!

I'm not able to fully i.d. this and I'm leaning towards radical pruning whatever the blight is. My 12 foot Lavatera bicolor is completely infested with this (and it happened quite quickly).
Any thoughts or suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's the fungus disease called rust. At this point, strip & discard the infected leaves. Not fatal, just ugly. The preferred remedy is a sunny planting site with excellent air circulation. But sometimes, prevailing wet weather will foil your best plans. |
Thanks, Jean, I didn't recognize that as rust. Those 7 inches of rain here in Dec had me pretty soggy, then it's been over 75 F most days since, so I'm playing catch-up with weeds, aphids, germination and fertilization now. I'm sad that me missing the symptoms early translates to the centerpiece in my yard getting stripped bare right now. Oh, well. |
