Yeah, Ive done it both ways and it really does work well either way and have also used fresh and frozen berries, mixedberries also work well. I used to just dump the berries into the carboy but for ME putting the berries in the grain bag is just a better method, you get all the berry flavor with way easier cleanup and did I mention no seeds in your KEG
Just a random thought. I have cranberries sitting in my freezer. You think that replacing the rasberries with cranberries is a good idea? Maybe a bit bitter
Sounds like a good plan.
Hmm. So is this beer a bit sour or is it a bit sweet?
OK I'm new to using beerSmith2 anyone know how to add fresh/frozen fruit (raspberry) as a ingredient? All I get is the extract
Eschatz, would these work ? http://www.target.com/p/mp-fruit-40o..._qi_detaillink
Do you put any rasp in the boil or primary? or just once in the secondary for 5-7 days?

Buhoodle (Somali: Buuhoodle, Arabic: بووهودل), also known as Bohotle, is the capital of the northern Cayn region in Somalia. It is disputed between Somaliland, Puntland and Khatumo State (formerly HBM-SSC or Hoggaanka Badbaadada iyo Mideynta SSC[1]).
Buuhoodle is an historical city. It is where Mohamed Abdullah Hassan's Dervish nationalist and anti-colonial movement began.
Buhoodle is located on the border between Somalia and Ethiopia. It is serves as a commercial hub for the movement of goods to and from Bosaso, Garowe, Las Anod, Galkayo, Wardheer, Burao, the surrounding area, and the Ogaden. The city is rich in livestock as well as agriculture, and has grow considerably since 1993. Today, Buuhoodle has modern communication systems such as cell phones, land-line phones, and internet services. It also has modern hotels, as well as a new hospital constructed in 2008. Additionally, a water supply network was built in 2010 by young local residents.
Buhoodle and its environs are disputed by the Puntland and Somaliland autonomous macro-regions of Somalia.[2] Somaliland forces, backed up by Ethiopian soldiers, entered the town on 15 May 2010, to clear the way for the upcoming Somaliland elections. The forces clashed with local militia, leaving at least 13 dead on 33 wounded. Conflicts later flared up again the following year, but were eventually resolved in early 2012, with the official withdrawal of Somaliland troops to a 50 km radius of the city's perimeter.[3]
In June 2014, the Puntland government launched a new tree-planting campaign in the state, with the regional Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism slated to plant 25,000 trees by the end of the year. Buuhoodle is among the seven cities and towns earmarked for the reforestation initiative, which also include Garowe, Bosaso, Qardho, Baran, Dhahar and Galkayo. The campaign is part of a broader partnership between the Puntland authorities and EU to set up various environmental protection measures in the region, with the aim of promoting reforestation and afforestation.[4]
The broader Buuhoodle District has a total population of 38,428 residents.[5] Buuhoodle is primarily inhabited by people from the Somali ethnic group, with the Dhulbahante especially well-represented.[6]
Buuhoodle has a number of academic institutions. According to the Puntland Ministry of Education, there are 12 primary schools in the Buuhoodle District. Among these are H/dh Abu-Bakar Sadiq, H/dh Al-Najax, H/dh Al-Furqan and Qararo.[7] Secondary schools in the area include Howd and Samatar Bahman.[8]
For higher studies, Buuhoodle is served by the East Africa University (EAU). The institution opened a seventh branch in the town on 18 April 2012 to serve pupils from the Cayn region.[9]
For air transportation, Buuhoodle is served by the Ismail Mire International Airport. It began providing flights to and from the town in April 2014.[10]

A new Battlefield Hardline trailer is out. At first, it looks a bit like Need for Speed—what with police cars in pursuit of some high-speed vehicle. Soon after, it looks less like Need for Speed—what with machine guns and shotguns and rocket launchers and death. I think the idea is to get a fast car from one place to another. I know the idea is for explosions to happen.

Jochnick says the studio needs to take a more hands-on
As part of Battlefield 4's Battlefest event, DICE ran a stunt video competition—inviting players to record their most daring feats of murder and carnage.

Sweating the Small Stuff
At a football game a few weeks ago, Notre Dame University sold soda in cups that said, "Figthing Irish." Did no one at this distinguished school have the time or pride to proofread a two-word slogan?
Here are a few other items we've seen recently and now wish we hadn't…
Back to Basics Many professional journalists can't find the subjects in their own sentences, like this one: "The final installment of those tapes—340 hours—were made public." Make it "was made public." The writer, distracted by "tapes" and "hours," forgot that the subject, "installment," was singular.
Ho-Hum: More Who-Whom Recently in this space, we discussed the difference between who (subject) and whom (object). Pronoun confusion has plagued our language for centuries. Some now claim that English would be fine without whom. But whom holds some mysterious attraction for people who shouldn't be using it, because they keep getting it wrong, as in "…a man whom he thought was ready" (make it "who he thought was ready").
Compare that with "Brown, who investigators had trouble reaching for interviews" and "Schulman, who he met on a blind date." Here the writers were handed whom on a silver platter, but instead chose "who."
How the Cookie Deconstructs Flawed sentences like those result from either carelessness or grammatical cluelessness. Just as prevalent, and deadly, is poor word choice caused by fuzzy thinking. Here's a writer who sabotaged his own metaphor when he wrote, "…before the whole house of cards crumbles."
Dead leaves and old walls crumble. A house of cards collapses.
Try to spot the errors or lapses in these sentences, written by professionals.
1. "The case is the latest in a series that have fueled public protests."
2. "He was convicted in absentia to 20 years in prison."
3. "…and Steenkamp, whom he believed was still in the bedroom."
4. "A deadline to Syria to turnover its weapons."
5. "The first time either of them have heard the recording."
Not all of these sentences have one right answer. See if your remedies agree with ours.
1. The case is the latest in a series of events that have fueled public protests.
2. He was sentenced in absentia to 20 years in prison.
3. …and Steenkamp, who he believed was still in the bedroom. (i.e., who was still in the bedroom, he believed)
4. A deadline to Syria to turn over its weapons.
5. The first time either of them has heard the recording.

Words Can Be Bullies
Words that start with the letter h don't always act like it.
Consider "herb," when it means "an aromatic plant used for seasoning in cooking." Americans dump the h, whereas many Brits pronounce it. So we say "an 'erb," but an Englishman says "a herb."
A different sort of h-confusion happens when self-important speakers and writers say "an historic occasion" or "an heroic soldier." Ever notice that "an" only precedes a few highfalutin h-words like "historic(al)," "hypothetical," "hallucinogenic"? And they tend to have three or more syllables: "An heroic soldier" is also "a hero."
About 20 years ago, Time magazine ran a front-cover headline beginning, "A Historic…" and misguided word nerds raised a furor, insisting Time should have said "An Historic"—but the magazine never budged, stating flatly that "an historic" is wrong.
In everyday conversation, would you describe a wailing brat as "an hysterical child"? I sincerely doubt it. But what makes "hysterical" so different from "historical"?
A Google check yields tips from various websites, which only reinforce common sense: "You should use 'an' before a word beginning with an 'H' only if the 'H' is not pronounced" (from the website wsu.edu/~brians/errors/anhistoric.html).
Or this: "you use an before vowel sounds…Following this rule, we would say 'a historic,' not 'an historic' " (betterwritingskills.com).
Or this one, which ought to seal the deal: "I'd love to hear a reasonable argument, based on logic and not convention, in support of 'an historic'…given the prevalence of such similar constructions as 'a hotel downtown' and 'a high bar' and 'a hitman killed my dog' " (ask.metafilter.com).
Pomposity often leads to tortured language. I remember lawyer-turned-sportscaster Howard Cosell, rest his troubled soul, and the way he regularly subjected professional athletes to his cruel and unusual polysyllabic punishment. In general, jocks are spoiled, semi-educated boors, and they know it, so the tug-of-war between them and Cosell was great theater.
At its most sublime, it involved boxing champion Muhammad Ali. He and Howard made a great team, and there was genuine love and trust there. Whatever his faults, Cosell, perhaps at the risk of his own career, had taken up for the draft-evading Ali when the champ was something of a national pariah. (YouTube.com has many wonderful sequences of these two through the years.)
Although there was a good Cosell, all too often we got Bad Howard, neurotically insecure, the one who knew he was kept at arm's length by these great physical geniuses—and resented it. He knew they mocked him, not caring that Cosell had more knowledge of more subjects than all of them put together. So he would sometimes do perverse things, like the time he bullied a poor rookie football player from some Deep South ghetto. Bad Howard said something like: "So, my young friend, in your estimation, did the immensity of the task assigned you, juxtaposed with the metaphysical certainty of your callow demeanor, effectuate a lessened or heightened capacity on your part?"
I'm not kidding. That's pretty close to what Howard said. As the kid listened, his eyes widened with terror and confusion, as if he were being swarmed by a raging horde of ruthless linebackers. I don't recall his answer.
—Tom Stern

I'll Be Hanged! Or, Have I Just Gone Missing?
Several readers responded to Tom Stern's article The media made me do it which asked for alternatives to gone missing. Interestingly, the overwhelming choice was to simply replace the phrase with missing.
This is fine in many, perhaps most, cases, e.g., The man was missing instead of The man went missing. But it's no help at all in sentences such as The man went missing two days ago. For such sentences, we have few options other than disappeared or vanished, which, as Stern pointed out, sounds as if the man in question were more the victim of a magic trick than a potential tragedy.
So dig deeper, readers! If you can come up with an inspired alternative to The man went missing two days ago, many will thank you for having done our beloved language a great service.
Speakers and writers who value precision know that the past tense of hang, when it means "to put to death using a rope," is hanged, rather than hung. This applies to both the active and passive voice: They hanged the prisoner and The prisoner was hanged.
For inanimate objects, use hung. Under unusual conditions, people also hung or are hung, e.g., He hung from the tree with one hand or He found himself hung upside down.
Select the correct word for each sentence.
1. We hung/hanged the stockings by the chimney with care.
2. The angry mob hung/hanged the outlaw Gomer Dooley.
3. The disgraced prime minister was hung/hanged from a lamppost in the town square.
4. An effigy of the prime minister was hung/hanged from a lamppost in the town square.
5. The man hung/hanged from the rafters with a rope around his waist.
1. We hung the stockings by the chimney with care.
2. The angry mob hanged the outlaw Gomer Dooley.
3. The disgraced prime minister was hanged from a lamppost in the town square.
4. An effigy of the prime minister was hung from a lamppost in the town square.
5. The man hung from the rafters with a rope around his waist.

The Media Made Me Do It
I heard from a correspondent who hates the phrase gone missing. His e-mail called it an "ear-abrading" and "vulgar" usage. "Sends me right round the bend, mate!" he said.
I did a little digging and found that he's far from alone. "Gone missing," according to a word nerd at the Boston Globe, is "the least loved locution of the decade."
According to the Globe piece, this "chiefly British" phrase has been around since the 19th century, so it's not some trendy new grotesquerie. It's also not ungrammatical—if you can go insane, you can surely go missing. So what makes people hate it so much?
Especially considering the lack of a good alternative: I've always felt that "vanished" and "disappeared" sound like the missing person was the victim of a magic trick. And "turned up missing"? Please spare me. Anybody with something better than gone missing, please write.
Maybe it's that we have a complicated relationship with European savoir-faire in general…and the Brits in particular. Young American males, for instance, deal with a perceived sophistication gap, believing with some justification that English accents and guys named Colin get all the babes.
Ever since that little 18th century uprising of ours, many Americans traditionally have viewed Mother England with an uneasy mix of nostalgia and rebellion, so Brit-isms like "gone missing" can be irksome. Don't you get irrationally annoyed when your artsy friend says, "Let's wander about" instead of "around"? Or how about those people who write their phone numbers with periods instead of hyphens: 555.2940 instead of 555-2940…why do I hate that? Even someone putting that heinous horizontal bar through a 7 makes me crazy: "Look at me; I've been overseas, and now even my 7's are refined."
How many otherwise sensible Americans are mesmerized by Britain's royal family? And from Cary Grant to Hugh Grant, there's never been a shortage of British actors in Hollywood. In the early days of talkies, except for gangsters, cowboys, and blue-collar parts, leading men and women had distinct English accents, even though some of them came from Hell's Kitchen.
Now that my correspondent has exposed my unthinking use of "gone missing," it's made me a kinder, gentler word nerd. Remember how the old, intolerant word nerd always blamed pretentiousness when people said "more importantly," "close proximity," or "comprised of"? I was being too hard. In fact, we are bombarded with these expressions daily by high-profile media hotshots till our resistance breaks down. With repetition by smug authority figures (who couldn't pass English 101), some of the worst barbarities gain respectability.
Since we're on this subject, let's look at some words that broadcasters mangle.
Envelope, envoy, enclave Though you'd never know it from what you hear over the airwaves, the preferred pronunciation of these words' first syllable is "enn" rather than the faux-French "ahn."
Alleged It must come as a shock to many announcers, but alleged is a two-syllable word. It's pronounced uh-LEJD, not uh-LEDGE-id.
Camaraderie is a five-syllable word, but you usually hear only four in the media. That letter a before the r should be a clue to say comma-ROD-ery, not com-RAD-ery.
Bestiality Everyone's wrong about this one, because it's not BEAST-iality. Look at the spelling and then tell me: how do you pronounce b-e-s-t?
Homage This word has spun out of control in the last several years, but for most of my adult life it was correctly pronounced HOMM-ij. Then came AHM-ij, and it went downhill from there. Now we have everyone sounding oh-so-elegant with the pseudo-sophisticated oh-MAHZH, for which there's really no excuse.

Word Nerds: Verbal Custodians Trapped in a Time Warp
A big drawback to a column like this is being perceived as having insufferable attitude: "So, Mr. Expert, I guess you think you're so superior."
It's not like that. Word nerds do custodial work. A lot of brilliant people can't write. Ernest Hemingway was a terrible speller. Word nerds don't think they're "better"—do janitors think they're better than the office workers they clean up after?
I often wonder why I bother about details that concern so few normal people. Oh, I know what Arthur Conan Doyle said: "[T]he little things are infinitely the most important," but on the other hand, I once saw Dick Cavett take a swipe at noted Harvard law professor-author Alan Dershowitz by correcting his grammar. Dershowitz made a sour (but unperturbed) face and shot back that unlike Cavett, he was too busy making a difference in the world to worry about language trivia.
So it's not about word nerds' delusions of superiority. We feel like anachronisms, displaced in a world of shifting values and priorities. We live in an idealized past. We each have our own preferred era, be it the time of Shakespeare or Swift or Dickens or Twain or Shaw, when people read a lot more and savored the mot juste.
Oh, and everyone you knew could write, spell, and punctuate, and felt enriched by a good vocabulary.
Anyway, onward to this week's entries of infamy…
Irregardless I've heard a lot of bright people say this nonsense word, which results from confusing and combining regardless and irrespective. If people would just think about it, what's that dopey ir- doing tacked on? In technical terms, ir- is an "initial negative particle." So if "irregardless" means anything, it means "not regardless" when its hapless speaker is trying to say the exact opposite.
Center around The whole play centers around the consequences of ill-gotten gains. This common, misbegotten expression results from the unhappy union of two similar terms: center on and revolve around. Because the phrases are roughly synonymous, if you use them both enough, they merge in the mind. What's annoying about "center around" is that it's imprecise, and disheartens readers who take writing seriously. The center is the point in the middle. How, exactly, would something center around? You get dizzy trying to picture it.
Hone in This is another mongrel, like the two that preceded it. It's the brain-dead combo of hone and home in. We simply can't allow confusion to be the basis of acceptable changes in the language. In recent years, "hone in" has achieved an undeserved legitimacy for the worst of reasons: the similarity, in sound and appearance, of n and m. Honing is a technique used for sharpening cutting tools and the like. To home in, like zero in, is to get something firmly in your sights: get to the crux of a problem.
Reticent This trendy word properly means "uncommunicative," "reserved," "silent." But sophisticates who like to fancy up their mundane blather are now using it when they mean "reluctant." I was reticent to spend so much on a football game. When I hear something like that, I wish the speaker would just reticent the heck up.
Allude Allude to means mention indirectly. In one of its most unspeakable moves, Webster's lists refer as a synonym. Horrors! When you refer to something, it's a direct transaction: I refer to Section II, paragraph one, Your Honor. When you allude to something or someone, you don't come out and say it; you're being subtle, sly or sneaky: "Someone I know better wise up."
Off (of) "Hey! You! Get off of my cloud," sang the Rolling Stones, unnecessarily. The of is extraneous, and off of is what's known as a pleonasm. That means: starting now, avoid it.
Couple (of) Hey, gimme a couple bucks, wouldja? When I was a kid, this is how neighborhood tough guys talked, while cracking their chewing gum. Don't drop the of; one more little syllable won't kill you.

Easy to maintain. No engine trouble at all. Good looking. Good fuel economy. Roomy for a sedan. Large trunk.
If you are looking for a 4 cylinder sedan, it is a great vehicle. No complaints.
Great Car, No Problems Whatsoever. — Good car for commuting, even better for long distances. If you are in the market for a sedan I highly recommend this car if you like the mpg and look of the mazda3. Very reliable, little maintenance required great first car.

Sporty Look, Decent trunk size
Harsh Ride, hard to use console controls
2009 Mazda3 — I rented and drove a brand new 2009 Mazda3 in Calgary. Needless to say I could care less about rental cars, but for a brand new Mazda, I was very unimpressed. The ride was stiff, steering was sloppy, and the cooling system was quite loud compared to other cars in its class.

2009 Mazda MAZDA3 s Touring Hatchback Review
Practical, fun, basic luxury, and classy too for a compact.
You can afford something bigger than a compact and more luxurious (and sportier, faster and more powerful).
It's An Excellent Car. Worth The Money. — In terms of appearance, I find the new 2010 Mazda3 less attractive than the old 2009 Mazda3. The there too many lines on the 2010 car and the corners on the lights pertrude out too much like eyeliner on a girl. I'm not saying its bad; it's just doesn't fit my taste. In terms of performance, I am very satisfied with my 2009 Mazda 3. I love fast sports cars and super cars. However, there is such a thing as speed limit. And unless I take the car to the track, I have no place to get everything out of the car. So in my opinion it is better to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. Thus, 156 horses is enough for getting around. The car stock suspensions are not too stiff, so the ride is very comfortable. The engine sound isn't robust like a muscle car, yet has a reasonable roar. The handling of the car is very smooth and love going around bends and turns. The response of the car is remarkable for its class. It isn't loose like a corolla and won't challenge you back like a civic. Through both corolla and civic are both well established and good cars in their own right. With regards to the interior, I am inpressed. When I realized that I couldn't afford more than a Mazda3 at the time, I wasn't too pleased. However, once I saw what the the car had to offer, I must say I'll have a tough time chosing my next car. I got the GT sport: and that included the Leather seats (and heated front ones) and steering wheel, with a 6 disk CD changer and BOSE speaker system. The acoustics are great and can handle the loudness and vibration of the sounds with driver and passengers shaking in the car simultaneously and seeing doubles of everything. I didn't get the navigation/GPS package so I can't tell you anything about it. To add to this the hatchback offers plenty of cargo space. This past July I move as well as helping my uncles and cousins move too. I was surpise how spacious it was when I dropped the back seats. I was able to carry just as much if not more compared to my uncles' camry and Grand Cherokee(NO JOKE!!!). For me this car is a perfect combination of practicality, fun, basic luxury, and getting it in black with stock 18inch rims from Mazda, classy too.

Love My Zoom Zoom — I've had this car for 4+ months and 6,000 miles now - the handling is like nothing I've ever seen in a sedan, very fast for a 4 cylinder, and she looks great - lots of extras in the i-touring package, overall a great deal and a great car!

Great gas mileage and handling!
Tires are pricey.
This Is A Sporty, Affordable, Fun To Drive Car. — If you get this vehicle in the 17 inch wheel category the tires are expensive. Other than that minor detail, I absolutely love this car! The gas mileage is awesome, it zips around with plenty of power, and it looks great! I would highly recommend this vehicle!

Not as powerful as the Mazdaspeed. Duh.
She's Got Zoomzoom — The Mazda3 is a good reliable car. It offers tremendous versatility. It combines sporty performance, economic value, and practicality. The hatchback is spacious, and the seats are comfortable. All in all, this car is well worth the money. Performance, Reliability, Practicality all in one concise package.

Bose Stereo.
Fuel economy isn't great, just OK. Doesn't drink petrol but doesn't get 50 to the gallon either.
I Love It. But Then Again I Would As It's Mine. — The Stereo and toys in this car rule, it so far has been pretty reliable and hopefully will stay that way. I love that I can walk up to the car and press a button to get in and also the heated windscreen and auto wiper are useful as I put the heated screen on and have a smoke while I wait for it to defrost, when it is ready the automatic wipers clean the screen.

"Steven has helped my family and I several times, with professionalism, great advice, patience, understanding, and a great personality! Contact him for real estate matters, you will be pleased!"
We were referred to Steven Wong when a developer proposed buying our
property. Never having worked with a developer, we knew we lacked the
expertise to navigate well for ourselves. We turned to a builder friend
for advice and he highly recommended Steven as someone who had a long
history of working with developers and could answer our many questions
as well as questions we didn't know to ask. Steven listened carefully to
our questions and concerns and thoughtfully directed us through each
phase of the process. He was quick to respond and readily available when
we had questions. He was careful to consider our needs as he defended
our position well with the developer and negotiated aspects unfamiliar
to us. We closed with an excellent outcome and believe that Steven
exceeded our expectations.
We feel fortunate to be able to consult with someone with Steven's level of experience evaluating many types of properties for investment value as well as physical characteristics. He is approachable and takes his work seriously. We have come to gratefully trust his judgement.
I can't thank Steve and Laura enough for both their professional work and their absolute determination to make all of our requests come true. We have bought and sold several homes over our 40 years of marriage. This team is by far the most professional and forward thinking real estate team we have worked with. Thank you for all your hard work in our less than 30 close request!

I am a single, never married female with no kids. I am highly-independent and self-sufficient in search of a man who can be a best friend and lover. I would love nothing more than to find a man who can: laugh at my sarcasm and respond with more cynicism; handle my beast-like mentality at live sporting events; cook a great dinner with me (or keep me company while I make something for him); respect me as I do him and never, ever go to bed angry. I love sports, mainly baseball and soccer. I love to run and participate in 5k and 10k races. I love to travel and have been to Russia, England, Belgium and Ireland (multiple times). I would love to see more of the world. I'm really not into games and prefer someone tell me immediately they are not interested rather than keep me hanging on. I don't waste anyone's time and request the same.

The Last Yugoslav: On Dusan Makavejev
If anyone could make a movie encompassing Yugoslavia and its tragic fate, it would be Makavejev. Born in Belgrade in 1932, the director spent his late childhood and early adolescence in that city during its occupation by the Nazis. He developed an early love of cinema and made a short film as he took a psychology degree at the University of Belgrade. Makavejev's sense of cinema's libidinal and political potential won both the attention of Yugoslav audiences and the wary eye of its leaders from the very start. Censors found a seduction scene between a woman and a statue in one of his first shorts--Don't Believe in Monuments (1958)--too erotic and withheld the film from immediate circulation. But Makavejev persisted, graduating from making short films to full-fledged documentaries about the construction of national highways and May Day parades. Acclaim and skirmishes with government watchdogs followed in his wake.
The clashing official responses to Makavejev's work was typical of Yugoslavia. Under President Josip Broz Tito, the country perched carefully between East and West. Tito not only had to navigate that middle course but also keep a lid on Yugoslavia's teeming nationalist tensions, which had contributed to the bloodshed and genocide of World War II. So while Yugoslavia was freer than most of its communist neighbors, those tentative open spaces for intellectuals and artists could be smothered instantly when internal or external political winds changed. Yugoslav professor Mihajlo Mihajlov, for instance, ended up in prison and then on trial in 1965 when his acerbic travelogue from the Soviet Union (later published as Moscow Summer by Farrar, Straus and Giroux) bluntly asserted that "the first 'death camps' were not founded by the Germans, but by the Soviets."
Makavejev pranced into that dangerous territory soon enough with WR. But his early feature films navigated these Yugoslav contradictions brilliantly, and the contradictions energized his work. His first feature, Man Is Not a Bird, retains its cacophonous power more than forty years after its release. The film is a simple but powerful tale of a casual affair between a visiting factory expert and a bored hairdresser, but its evocation of life in an eastern Serbian factory town is saturated with soot and pent-up sexual tension. Abandoning the sound studio, Makavejev shot the film in the factory town of Bor in a plant that processed copper, a decision that lent added urgency to the film's larger questions about tensions within a socialist state: intellectuals versus workers, rationalism against superstition.
Makavejev's next two films, Love Affair and Innocence Unprotected, commingled documentary and fiction in an even more daring and experimental fashion. In Love Affair, a documentary on the Russian Revolution is the prelude to a gentle seductive duet between Hungarian switchboard operator Isabella and her lover Ahmed, a Bosnian ratcatcher. (Ahmed is also woven into a pseudo-documentary about rat control in Belgrade.) Makavejev's interviews with actual sexologists and criminologists seem arrogant and cold when contrasted with the very human fiction of an accidental homicide. Similarly, Innocence Unprotected brazenly appropriates Serbia's first talking film--an amateurish black-and-white melodrama made by a street acrobat under the noses of the Nazi occupation--and tints portions of it with bright splashes of color, interviews with the filmmaker and his cohort updating their careers, and footage of the occupation itself. In both films, certain kinds of knowing leave us less enlightened. Didactic histories mutilate the texture of lived experience. But Makavejev's first three films are also a virtual primer on Tito's Yugoslavia: its contradictions, its ethnic hodgepodge and its muddled history of occupation and liberation.
In chapter after chapter of her book, Mortimer relentlessly tries to establish links between Makavejev's films and the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. The chapter on WR couples the NATO bombing of the Serbian town of Novi Sad in 1999 with the fact that WR was produced in that city. The chapter on Innocence Protected opens with an extended meditation on a short film made by Srdjan Vuletic during the siege of Sarajevo and the wounds of the city and its citizens, and then leaps into discussing a disturbing scene from Makavejev's film of a child near death. There is even a six-page "Interlude" that tackles various aspects of the Yugoslav wars through anecdote and political history with no substantive reference to Makavejev's films at all. "I want to come back to the conception of the human being as indeed rational, a maker," Mortimer writes in that section, "but also mad, prone to delusion, both an undoer and a producer of fantasies with consequences ranging from the benign to the truly malignant." That doesn't leave much out at all. If Makavejev had kept making films about Yugoslavia after 1969, Mortimer's argument might be more convincing.
But precisely the opposite happened. Makavejev used his position as a filmmaker from Yugoslavia--the country of the "middle way"--to leap audaciously into a critique of the grand conflict of capitalism and communism. The WR in the title of that film stands not only for Freud disciple Wilhelm Reich but for world revolution. Makavejev sought--and commanded--an international stage. Both WR and his next film, Sweet Movie (1974), share a number of qualities: sexual frankness, political courage and a dazzling array of powerful and disquieting images that prove almost sacramental in distilling the era's competing ideologies into flesh-and-blood characters. Indeed, the two movies are so often linked--and they do belong together, stylistically and thematically--that it is instructive in some ways to examine their differences.

McLane vs. Stihl for Edging?
I just acquired a McLane Edger from my neighbor that was moving away and didn't need it anymore. It wasn't running but I cleared the carburetor blockage and tuned it up so it runs well now.
My question is has anyone used the traditional walk behind McLane edger and is there any advantage over a good quality string trimmer such as Stihl for edging the drive and side-walks?
I think the trimmer may be faster and easier, but I always admired the McLane 4-cycle edger when I was young. I've been trying it out and the blade tends to rub against the concrete. Maybe I need more practice with the tool, but will this gradually chip or damage the pavement over time? The blades are cheap so I'm not too worried about replacement cost, just the edge of my drive and walkways.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Azaleas aren't blooming this year
I have a couple of large azalea bushes in front of my house. I'm not sure of the variety, possibly Formosa. They usually have an abundance of magenta flowers covering them throughout May, but this year they have almost none. This is our fourth summer in this house and I've never touched them. I've done some VERY minor pruning (just to keep it out of the walkway) and I've never fertilized, yet they have still flowered beautifully every year except this one.
Any ideas as to what could be stopping them from flowering this Spring? We did have a very nasty ice-storm in February and some quirky Spring weather with lots of rain.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Cloudy weather last summer would result in poor flower bud set. Look closely to make sure there are no dead flower buds. If there are, the bud set was OK but the winter weather killed the flower buds. If there are still viable flower buds, it just mean that your plants are very late this season. Many parts of the country are experiencing this. In some areas, some plant are a month late.
Azalea leaf gall.
It shouldn't be related to the lack of bloom.

Louis Vuitton can't get enough of architect Frank Gehry. The 85-year-old just designed a bag for the company's high-end "Six Iconoclasts, One Icon" collection. Now, the art center in Paris he designed for the luxury fashion brand's parent company will open to the public on October 27, following a VIP preview that saw LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault take the prime minister of France and other dignitaries on a private tour.
The Independent calls Gehry's new Fondation Louis Vuitton in the Jardin d'Acclimatation, which will house LVMH's massive art collection and sits on public land, as being "crazy and tender." The paper goes on to note that this is "biggest privately funded arts project in Paris for decades." The Guardian reports that the building took ten years to create, with 3,000 workers and mroe than 100 engineers, and is set to become the possession of Paris in 2062.Continue reading...

There's no better illustration of where China's once almighty luxury market has gone than the events three weeks ago. On a Tuesday at the Hyatt Regency in the east coast city of Hangzhou, Hermes held a sale. Until then, such discounting at upscale retailers like Hermes was unthinkable in China. Now, it seems Ferragamo and Armani will follow suit—with sales on suits.
Then Burberry did the unthinkable: it opened a storefront on Tmall.com.
Tmall, the wildly popular Amazon-meets-eBay site run by the Alibaba group, is an anything-goes Internet bazaar where Chinese shoppers dump a large portion of the nearly $300 billion in online shopping done in China last year. The marketplace has governments like France and Britain tripping over themselves to sign memorandums of understanding to give their nation's products Tmall platforms.
"Although luxury brands initially looked down on Tmall as a sort of mass-market bazaar, a growing number now see its importance and advantages," said Avery Booker, a Partner at China Luxury Advisors, a consultancy for luxury retail in China.
So far, Burberry's experiment has seen mixed results.Continue reading...

little black flies or gnats
Hi! I am wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of those little annoying black flies, or gnats. I am not really sure what they are, but after bringing some of my plants indoors, it seems I have a severe large and pesty flying black gnat issue swarming about the house. They fly up my nose when I'm breathing, and they seem to know how to really annoy in the worst ways. They will not die. Does anyone know what they are and how to kill them!
I expect they are fungus gnats. Check link below. I also find that watering from below helps plus covering the surface of the soil with a layer of dry sand.
Here is a link that might be useful: Fungus gnats
thank you myles! I don't see any little tiny worm thingys or any little strands, and the flies appear a bit different. Nevertheless, I may be purchasing some of the predatory mites that the site suggested anyway. I did not know that they have predatory mites for indoors!! This is great news, thanx for the help : )

The "food safety" bills in Congress were written by Monsanto, Cargill, Tysons, ADM, etc. All are associated with the opposite of food safety.
What is this all about then?
In the simplest terms, organic food and a rebirth of farming were winning. Not in absolute numbers but in a deep and growing shift by the public toward understanding the connection between their food and their health, between good food and true social pleasures, between their own involvement in food and the improvement in their lives in general, between local food and a burgeoning local economy.
Slow Food was right - limit your food to what comes from your region and from real farmers, and slow down to cook it and linger over it with friends and family, and the world begins to change for the better. And as we face an unprecedented economic crisis, and it is hard to be sure what has value, one thing that always does is food. Which is why the corporations are after absolute control over it. But what obstacles to a complete lock on food do they face? All the people in this country who are "banking" on organic farming and urban gardens and most of all, everyone's deepening pleasure in and increasing involvement with everything about food. Farmers markets. Local farmers. Real milk. Fresh eggs. Vegetable stands. Those are things we not only all want, but things we are actively getting involved in, and things we very much need. And where they are truly good, they are growing.
The international financial corporations which have wreaked havoc around the world with astounding nonsensical "solutions" that are destructive of everyone but them, are brothers to the international agribusiness giants (Monsanto, Cargill, Tysons, ADM, etc.) which are just as aggressively after their own form of "taking." Just seeds, animals, water, land. And freedom.
Because human beings are by in large good and by in large incredibly resilient and clever, and left to their own devices - that is, free - they would handle this gargantuan financial stupidity the corporations brought us with NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT and all other globalized schemes (which they hope to eventually top off with CODEX). How? By being productive in real ways and locally. And farming is the solid ground under that. Farmers produce something of real value (something we used to take for granted), and from that base, businesses grow up. Local markets, local food processors, local seed companies, local tool and supply companies, local stores … And an economy based on reality and something truly good for us, too, begins to grow.
So, look again at what has been exciting us - Farmers markets. Local farmers. Real milk. Fresh eggs. Vegetable stands. - and realize that they are not only wonderfully healthy but fun and naturally community building. And more, they are a real economy and deeply democratic - and just at a time we need something that works economically, that supports our democratic rebirth, and that protects food itself and our easy access to it. And it is all those things that threaten the corporations … Which is why we now have these massive "fake food safety" bills in Congress. Everything is going under thanks to these fools, and they wish to be there like vultures to make sure that every drop of blood that can be sucked out of our resources and us, is theirs. To wit, they must get rid of such good and innocent things and yet truly powerful things as: Farmers markets. Local farmers. Real milk. Fresh eggs. Vegetable stands. And how will those who contaminate our country's food with pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and more, do that? Why, by setting standards for "food safety" that are so grotesquely and inappropriately and even cruelly applied to a local, independent farmers and ranchers that there is no way they can manage. Imagine your being faced with a 100 page IRS form and facing a million dollar a day penalty for screwing up. That would be in the ball park of the impossible complexity mixed with threat facing our farmers. Imagine having the government and corporations deciding every single thing you can do and must do in your kitchen and backing that up with the threat of 10 years in prison for screwing up - though you have never made anyone sick, and those corporations have. Imagine being surveilled 24 hours a day by GPS tracking devices that feed into … A corporate data bank, one they have now moved out of the country so no one here can have legal access to see what is in it.
Imagine the devil himself - or a whole boardrooms of them, dressed in suits - defining the only safe and healthy food in this country as dangerous and burdening hard working farmers with more work then anyone could bear, while his own, their own, food is so dangerous at this point that in the last 10 years alone, diabetes has gone up 90%. And how did they get this far with such a scheme to apply insane industrial standards to every farm in the country? Through fear of diseases and of outbreaks of food borne illnesses, both of which they cause themselves.
How it works:
Tyson helps Bill Clinton get into office. Bill Clinton immediately and significantly lowers contamination standards for poultry as a thank you. And it is such contaminated waste from transnational poultry factories which is now implicated as the source of bird flu. Then fortunes on made on that fear. And then poultry industry uses the crisis they created to push out small farmers and take greater control than ever. Their mantra? Biodiversity not only be damned but be eliminated. And get rid of those damn farmers who protect it while we're at it. The bills would require such a burdensome complexity of rules, inspections, licensing, fees, and penalties for each farmer who wishes to sell locally - a fruit stand, at a farmers market - no one could manage it. And THAT is the point. The whole dirty tricks point. The whole "be in tight control of everything needed for survival because it'll be worth a fortune" point.
So, if you like farmers markets, local farmers, fresh milk, fresh eggs, vegetables stands, and freedom, let your friends know that it's all on the line right now with those "fake food safety" bills brought to us with well-planned evil and more of it to come, by Monsanto, Cargill, Tysons, ADM, etc.
Slow Food reminds us of just where we need to be (and notice how much would help any local economy):
1. Forming and sustaining seed banks to preserve heirloom varieties in cooperation with local food systems; 2. Developing an "Ark of Taste" for each ecoregion, where local culinary traditions and foods are celebrated; 3. Preserving and promoting local and traditional food products, along with their lore and preparation; 4. Organizing small-scale processing (including facilities for slaughtering and short run products); 5. Organizing celebrations of local cuisine within regions (for example, the Feast of Fields held in some cities in Canada); 6. Promoting "taste education;" 7. Educating consumers about the risks of fast food; 8. Educating citizens about the drawbacks of commercial agribusiness and factory farms; 9. Educating citizens about the risks of monoculture and reliance on too few genomes or varieties; 10. Developing various political programs to preserve family farms; 11. Lobbying for the inclusion of organic farming concerns within agricultural policy; 12. Lobbying against government funding of genetic engineering; 13. Lobbying against the use of pesticides; 14. Teaching gardening skills to students and prisoners; and 15. Encouraging ethical buying in local marketplaces.
But we need to stop these bills first or we are left with no money from the financial bailout and no food from the food stealout.
Send a message to Congress!
We need millions to be fighting this. Contact Eli Pariser at firstname.lastname@example.com to tell him MoveOn is badly needed. And below, where Oped News offers a means of writing your local newspaper, take advantage of a chance to vent.

Displaced children shelter from violence in a transit camp in Central African Republic. International humanitarian organisations such as MSF have also been subjected to robbery and looting.
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Bangui, March 7, 2014 – The escalation of violence in (CAR), mainly in the north of the country, is undermining vital humanitarian assistance for people who are already suffering due to limited access to aid, the international medical humanitarian organisation Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) warned today.
Chaos across the country
The presence of fugitive armed groups and increased chaos across the country, including the capital Bangui, has led to an escalation of insecurity, which has left communities vulnerable to extreme violence. International humanitarian organisations have also been subjected to robbery and looting. MSF teams in the towns of Boguila, Kabo, Ndele and inside the camp at the M'Poko international airport in Bangui have suffered numerous armed intrusions and robberies. Last weekend alone, MSF teams faced four such serious incidents. In Kabo, MSF was forced to reduce its medical activities as a result.
MSF has repeatedly called on UN Security Council member states and donor countries to secure the protection of civilians in CAR and to urgently scale up much-needed humanitarian assistance.
Civilians hunted down and killed
"We are witnessing the consequence of the lack of protection of people in CAR, with civilians being hunted down and killed, and hundreds of thousands of displaced people and refugees without adequate assistance," says Sylvain Groulx, MSF Head of Mission in CAR. "Targeting humanitarian organisations and their staff is unacceptable and impedes the support they give to the population. The reduction of the MSF medical activities in Kabo has disastrous consequences for over 50,000 people while their needs remain enormous."
MSF has managed the hospital in Kabo since 2006 and supports three health posts on the outskirts including Moyenne Sido, to where many people escaping violence have fled. Others seek refuge just across the border in Chad. In 2013, MSF carried out more than 100,000 consultations at the Kabo hospital and its health posts. Malaria remains the leading cause of death in CAR, and in Kabo up to 44% of consultations were as a result of malaria. The medical assistance provided by MSF teams here is crucial.
Severe lack of healthcare
Even before the recent crisis, the people of CAR already suffered the consequences of a severe lack of healthcare, with many health facilities being barely operational. The escalation of violence in recent weeks has compounded the problem as nearly 20% of the population has fled their homes, and the international aid effort is still grossly insufficient.
Despite regular violent attacks taking place close to, and even inside hospitals, MSF teams were able to provide a reasonable level of medical care. But today, the impunity of armed groups and the uncontrollable cycle of violence is endangering the population and threatening the delivery of humanitarian aid.
"We call on armed groups to stop targeting civilians and to respect our medical mission so that we can continue to deliver life-saving medical care," adds Sylvain Groulx. "Humanitarian organisations must be able to work freely and without hindrance."
MSF has been working in CAR since 1997, and now runs seven regular projects (Batangafo, Carnot, Kabo Ndélé Paoua, Bria and Zémio) and eight emergency projects (Bangui, Berbérati, Bouar, Boguila, Bossangoa, Bouca, Bangassou and mobile clinics in the northwest). MSF has more than 240 international staff and 2,000 local staff working in the country. Additional MSF teams are assisting refugees from CAR in Cameroon, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Congo-Brazzaville.

This Product:
Carhartt Shirts: Men's Dark Khaki 100410 253 Force Short Sleeve Shirt
The FORCE shirts from Carhartt fit great (he's a size 4xl), are made of a durable and soft material and have some kind of magical stain release powers! Minimal effort on my part with some basic pretreating of mystery stains, that have dried and set in for a week or more, come out completely in one wash. These shirts stand up to all kinds of abuse and continue to look like new wash after wash!
