George Enescu
1881 - 1955
Lyric Tragedy
Libretto by Edmond Fleg
German translation: Henry Arnold
World premiere: March 13th 1936, Opéra Garnier, Paris
First ever performance in Frankfurt
Sung in German with German surtitles
Duration: 1 3/4 hours without interval
About the piece
The Myth of Oedipus – a king's son who kills his father and marries his mother, the victor over the Sphinx who blinds himself when he realises what he has done, this un-crowned king of Freudian psychoanalysis fascinated Georges Enescu for most of his life. Sophocles' play inspired this Roumanian composer and virtuoso violinist to compose the first piece on this subject when he was 27, long before an libretto had been written. Although Edmond Fleg condensed the complex myth of the hero, from birth to death, for him not long before World War I, the world premiere did not take place until 22 years later, in Paris in 1936. A prophecy fulfills itself with dreadful inevitability, fate takes its merciless course. At the core, the question of freedom of will. Edmond Fleg's Sphinx challenges Oedipus to name something greater than fate. Oedipus' answer is: »Man! Man is stronger than fate!« But he does not yet realise that he has already killed his father...
A man attempts, through myth, to penetrate this unresolved question. He re-examines his life. Hans Neuenfels and his team present this seldom performed work in a condensed, new German translation, with no interval. It revolves around the central question and, consciously, ends without resolution – let alone redemption – as Enescu and Fleg make clear in the last act.

Hans Neuenfels and his team present this seldom performed work in a condensed, new German translation, with no interval. It revolves around the central question and, consciously, ends without resolution – let alone redemption – as Enescu and Fleg make clear in the last act.
The birth of King Laios and Queen Jokaste's son is being celebrated in Thebes. The seer, Tiresias, interrupts the festivities and announces Apollo's prophecy: because Laios fathered the child against the will of the gods the son will kill the father and marry his own mother. Horrified, Laios hands the baby over to a shepherd, ordering him to kill it. But the shepherd saves the child, who was given the name of Oedipus and grew up as the son of the Corinthian King Polybos and his wife Merope.
In Delphi Oedipus finds out about about the fate Apollo has condemned him to. Oedipus, in despair, decides to leave Corinth and keep as far away as possible from his supposed parents. Oedipus kills a man who had threatened him at a crossroads. The shepherd, who observed the scene, realises that the dead man is King Laios.
The Sphinx holds Thebes in a reign of fear and terror. Anyone unable to solve her riddle must die. The Sphinx's question is: What is stronger than fate? Oedipus challenges the Sphinx, his answer: Man. Although the Sphinx dies it is not clear whether or not she really has been defeated. Oedipus is feted as the saviour of Thebes and marries Queen Jokaste.
Years later Thebes is struck down by the plague, the gods' help is sought. Kreon, Jokaste's brother, brings news from the Oracle at Delphi: the plague will not abate while Laios' unidentified murderer lives in the city. The truth gradually emerges, and Oedipus realises that the prophesy has been fulfilled. Jokaste commits suicide and Oedipus gouges out his eyes. His daughter Antigone leads him out of the city.

7 Miles a Second by David Wojnarowicz, James Romberger & Marguerite Van Cook - Previews, Pre-Order | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under video, previews, new releases, James Romberger | 23 Nov 2012 3:13 PM |
7 Miles a Second
by David Wojnarowicz, James Romberger and Marguerite Van Cook
68-page full-color 9" x 12" hardcover • $19.99
Ships in: January 2013 (subject to change) – Pre-Order Now
7 Miles a Second is the story of legendary artist David Wojnarowicz, written during the last years before his AIDS-related death in 1992. Artists James Romberger and Marguerite Van Cook unsentimentally depict Wojnarowicz's childhood of hustling on the streets of Manhattan, through his adulthood living with AIDS, and his anger at the indifference of government and health agencies. A primal scream of a graphic novel, 7 Miles a Second blends the stark reality of Lower East Side street life with a psychedelic delirium that artfully conveys Wojnarowicz's sense of rage, urgency, mortality and a refusal to be silent.
Originally published as a comic book in 1996 by DC's Vertigo Comics, 7 Miles a Second was an instant critical success and has become a cult classic amongst fans of literary and art comics, just as Wojnarowicz's influence and reputation have widened in the larger art world. This new edition finally presents the artwork as it was intended: oversized, and with Van Cook's elegant watercolors restored. It also includes several new pages created for this edition.
"Revolutionary.... a runaway, over-the-top circus... An excursion into areas few, if any, comics creators have tread." – Jim Steranko
"Seven Miles a Second veers between an almost unbearably gritty naturalism and the incendiary heat of surrealist hallucination." – The New Yorker
"A revelatory work of art." – Art in America
"A cult classic... both a celebration of the unlimited potential of the comic book form, and a perfect melding of inspiring, iconoclastic imaginations." – Jim Jarmusch

text: No, this is the whole point. With Gallium3D, OpenGL is just another state tracker, and the driver is nothing directly to do with it. When ATI and Nouveau Gallium3D is fast, little and ideally nothing, would need changing for a new OpenGL (or any other graphics API). The new state tracker would get written once and it would work with all the Gallium3D drivers. The graphics API is completely abstracted away from the driver.


text: The course has two aims: first, to familiarize you with the context and the content of the four canonical Gospels, including information related to the production and subsequent transmission of these writings; and second, to introduce you to the role that different analytical methodologies or conscious "reading strategies" play in the interpretation of these texts. The course will cover redaction, literary, textual, and ideological criticism, as well as the political and social background of the Gospels. There will be both lecture and practical application. Attention will also be given to use of the Library and the Internet for New Testament research. Short written assignments and a final exam.

MeGAHairFine or Thin HairWay Better Than The Fibers Or Rub Onsok, started using toppik 2 yrs ago after hair transplant. disappointed folica stopped selling...have tried organin/mega thick, but the sprinkles got everywhere! all over bathroom, clothes and face...even later in day, if windows down, or put my sunglasses on my head...so i tried this one and top coverage. super deal! (this one is 2x size of top coverage, but top coverage is water proof)...way cheaper than the sprinkles, way less mess in my bathroom, none on my clothes and face and doesnt blow off! it does color my hands if i scratch my scalp, but doesnt rub off my scalp, and impossible to keep my nails clean. it will rub off on my pillow but washes off. i have long curly hair so i have to use a comb to lift and seperate my hair and spray directly onto my scalp (4" away, or so)..this prevents misfires, and gets it exactly where i need it.(diffuse thinning, no bald spots) then i fluff my hair and im done. havent tried hairspray, but i never use it. would definitely recommend it for value and ease of use, and less messy. nobody knows or can tell i use it, and the few people that have seen me straight out of the shower are shocked at how thin my hair really is (without pro thick)Also, very discreet can...no bald head on the front to advertise what your trying to hide!posted Apr 23, 2009Link to this post
Xen NicolaidisWashington, DCHair Too Dull?? Please Read This:If you are having problems with dull hair, you are not using this product correctly. Co not spray it on like it is hairspray. You need to aim the spray about 4-5 inches away from the area you are trying to conceal and use short BURSTS. You can use your fingers to rub it in, and then reapply if necessary to acheive the desired coverage. This is not spray paint. Practice to achieve realistic results. Finish with a hairspray to "set" the product. I use this on my salon clients and it is amazing how natural the results are. Some of my clients complain that the color rubs off on white pillows. Hairpray will seal the color, and provide a barrier. This product is amazing.posted Mar 2, 2009Link to this post
JohnPAHairFine or Thin HairBest Product Ever!!!!Being a 21 year old male with thinning hair was very hard to deal with. Its so bad that I wouldnt go out of the house without a hat on. My confidence went down so much to the point that it upset me even looking at myself in the mirror. Ive tried a couple hair products including nioxin but nothing was ever a fast fix. I was a little skeptical to try this spray, but decided why not it couldnt make any thing worse. To my suprise it worked! When I use it, it looks like I have a full head of hair! My confidence has skyrocketed since buying this product. I dont know what I would have done without it.posted Feb 26, 2009Link to this post
JoeI've Been Using It For YearsIm giving this product 4 stars because it worked for me better than the fibers and other sprays. Everyones hair/head is different, so even if a product gets great reviews from lots of people, it still may not work for you. Ive tried all sorts of concealers (e.g. Toppik and dye sprays) and this one just seemed to work for me. You really have to know how to use it to be satisfied. I never spray it on in the bathroom because its a lot like spray paint... it will get everywhere. I apply it in my basement where its not going get on anything. I also dont use very much; Im not bald only thinning so I just kind of spray it lightly just enough to darken up my scalp a little. Thats all thats really needed for me. I also apply a sheen spray over it to reduce the dull look. Its a good combo.I found another product (Folica, please take a look) called Hair Cubed that Im going to try. Its rather expensive but it has been getting a lot of good reviews. You can check out the vids on youtube and you can read about it on their website. Just google Hair Cubed.posted Jan 26, 2009Link to this post
JonFremont CAThe Best Of The Best - ProI have a thinning hair and this product work pretty good. I occasionally use cover up sometime, but not everyday. My thinning hair wasnt that bad so only little spray need it to do the job. I used DemMatch in the past and is good too but ProTHIK is much more durable and once you applied is stay put even I rub my hair I didnt see color on my hand. It does take some practice to prefect. Before you start using, I recommended that you use a good quality thickening shampoo and thickening conditioner This will give extra boost for even fuller. Towel/blow dry. I lightly spray on the top where the thining area is, "lightly" is the key and repeat "lightly" until is fully cover. For the front of the hairline, I use one hand to cover the forth head and "lightly" spray to get the natural look. Once you done finish off with good hair gel or fine mist spray. Now, I dont like to leave it on all night so when I wash it out before bed. The best way I found to remove this is; wet your hair with slightly warm water, apply shampoo, gently massage in and you can use a mirrior to see where all the dark spot and just gently massage for completed removal and leave in for about 3min to 5min, repeat if necessary to get all clean out. Rinse with cool water and use conditioner after.posted Aug 28, 2008Link to this post

M.New YorkDoes The Job!Im on Folica to re-buy this product. After reading everyones review I had to leave one. Everyone has such high expectations. Its a SPRAY that most of the time is dark (to match hair) so of course its a little messy! When youre done just wipe your sink with a wet napkin. It does not stain or anything. Common sense, if you are going to apply this product dont be dressed in your best stuff. Apply this stuff 1st and then wait a few minutes to let it set. I buy this for my boyfriend with slight balding and I have tried buying him Toppik and this one. Toppik to me is a pain in the butt! Unless you have someone to help you, you cant tell how much to sprinkle and it leaves blotches! This is his favorite. First off the size is huge for your money, Jeromes is less than half this size for like 2 dollars less. This one does have a matt finish but all you have to do is use a shine or light weight gel to make it blend in. Its not waterproof, but neither was the Toppik unless we missed something in the directions...this product is great for the cost and does the job! If you are debating, try it for sure!posted Jun 30, 2008Link to this post
AnonymousGlad I Tried It.I read the reviews and convinced to at least give it a try. It works great, just spray a little at a time and wipe the nozzle when you are through. It made my hair look fuller.posted Jun 11, 2008Link to this post

Modern games stabilized around two numbers: 30 FPS (mostly console games) and 60 FPS (PC games). 30 FPS is the lowest acceptable FPS, and it's chosen out of necessity, because it turns out that some people prefer (with their dollars) richer graphics (possible with 33 ms per frame) over smoother experience.
As for network games, network latency (ping to server) is rather orthogonal aspect to visual latency because of two factors:
1) ALL network games [try hard to] predict server response in advance (by essentially running the same code - on possibly stale/incomplete data - on clients) and then correct/compensate/lerp after getting authoritative server data. Games would be unplayable if you there was a delay of 20-50 ms between you pressing forward and you actually moving forward.
2) Game tick (i.e. when game entities are updated, when they "think" - which in network client-server based games only happens on servers) already happens at different (often lower) rate than drawing. For user experience, it's much more important to update animations (which often are local to clients), non-game-affecting physics (particles, smoke, etc), and other "visual" things in a network game, which happens client-side.
P.S. When talking about games, it's misleading to use FPS. It's better to compare frame time in milliseconds, and for latency tests, it's better to compare standard deviation of this value instead of an "average FPS".

After a long (and successful road trip) the Nats are back home for a while.
Hello from Nationals Park — it's been a while. It's also been a while since we last saw Ryan Zimmerman, but he's officially back and in tonight's lineup, batting third and playing third.
The corresponding roster move is a bit of a surprise: Craig Stammen has been optioned to Class AAA Syracuse, leaving the Nationals with only six relievers for the time being. We'll find out from Jim Riggleman and/or Mike Rizzo the exact logic here, but my guess is they're concerned about Roger Bernadina (hamstring) and Ian Desmond (thigh) are not 100 percent, so they'd rather keep an extra position player on the bench (ie. Brian Bixler) just in case.
As for the rest of the lineup tonight … Jayson Werth is again hitting leadoff, though Desmond is batting between him and Zimmerman. (I kind of figured if Werth was leading off, Zimmerman would bat second.) Yunesky Maya will bat eighth, and Jerry Hairston (moving to left field) will bat ninth.
Plenty of updates to come, so please check back…

Not sure he is crazy about it but it would not be smart to say anything the way he is hitting right now. I think he works better at #5 if Bernadina gets healthy but thats just me and I am obviously not a manager.

Werth has an OBP of .337 which is one of our higher ones. i still dont like him lead off, rather see him 6 or 7 seeing a different mix of pitches perhaps and breakout.but, maybe with Bernie ailing, he is the best alternative.not sold on it though

I'd like to see Nix in the lineup too. But, unfortunately, he has a history of having a Mendoza Line BA against lefties. So we'll see him against the Cards' SPs tomorrow and Thurs., and maybe PH tonight.
- Jaxpo Nat - Jun 14, 2011 at 8:19 PM
ENOUGH ALREADY with the pitcher batting 8th. I have heard every argument over the years in its favor and it is all BS. ALL it does is ensure the pitcher's spot will get more at bats. Period. Anything else it might accomplish can be accomplished by the more logical move of just bumping the hitters down a slot and inserting another leadoff hitter. If you want another hitter in front of Zim, then bat him 4th and not 3rd. If you want another hitter in front of Morse, then bat him 5th and not 4th. You don't accomplish anything by giving the pitcher's slot more at bats in the course of the season.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jun 14, 2011 at 8:20 PM
NatSat… cut the Mendoza line in half and you are closer to Nix's success against left handers. But he's never going to improve if he doesn't get a chance to face them.

Someone in the last thread asked for a source on a quote of mine.Here it is:http://bleacherreport.com/articles/726242-mlb-draft-2011-winners-and-losers-from-day-1#/articles/726242-mlb-draft-2011-winners-and-losers-from-day-1/page/2The Nationals are listed as having the best draft of any MLB team this year. And the story starts off this way:============The Nationals landed an embarrassment of riches in the draft, ending up with probably the best player for the third consecutive year. Rendon is a terrific hitter who projects to hit for both average and power, assuming those injury concerns aren't serious. He'll probably end up at first base with Ryan Zimmerman already at third, but the Nationals could have the best infield in baseball in a few years with Zimmerman, Rendon, Desmond and Espinosa, with Bryce Harper roaming the outfield.Meyer is a 6'9" righty with some of the best raw stuff in the draft and a dangerous fastball-slider arsenal. Control issues could force him into a closer's role, but on upside alone he's a top five talent. Goodwin is an athletic outfielder with speed and a good bat with the potential for some power.The Nationals may have to spend close to $10 million to lock up these three players, but assuming they all sign Washington will have an incredibly strong foundation for the future.=================

Attempting this with lineup is just fine. This is a team that is dead last offensively.Riggleman is attempting (but, of course) not completely honoring this sabermetric approach. Zimmerman should bat third in this lineup. Given that he is just back perhaps Morse bats second and then Zimmerman. To play lefty-righty you might bat Nix second, Zim third, and Morse 4th. Its not a MASN commercial, its the real, you bat Desmond 9th. And Hairston shouldn't even be in the lineup at this point.One wonders if the suggestion came from higher up and not from Riggleman and his coaches.

But we're Nats fans we have to wait until:1. The Nats follow through and sign them all including Purke as they did last year. Because before 2010 there was no guarantee anyone would sign. That the purse strings would be loosened for new talent.2. The injury issues turn out to be resolvable both with Rendon and Purke.3. They won't sign early so we probably won't know until next year where they stand against the other prospects currently in the system. For that they need some time in the system and in the minors.

But don't pretend this idiotic lineup gimmick had anything to do with it.Its not a gimmick, its a solid approach to the current offensive malaise. Its based in sabermetrics. However, Riggleman isn't following it to the "t" as he should to see if it would work. Therefore, we can't conclude its a failure because of the "gimmick", instead it is likely going to be operator error. User Riggleman doesn't know how to put together a sabermetric lineup without getting sentimental I guess.

Bixler reminds Riggs of Riggs when he was a player. Guy might last the season up here. I actually like the guy's speed…if he could just hit .200. Good move demoting Stammen. I have no faith this guy will ever be more than AAA fodder. As for Stares, I refer to my opening statement of a couple of nights ago: "Stares is harder to get rid of than Athlete's Foot in a sauna." He lasts the entire, ugh, year.Riggs is trying to out-LaRussa LaRussa with this 8-9 nonsense. I still think it's stupid, but you folks have supplied me with some data to support your opinions, and besides we're 3-0 with the 9-8 stuff. If Hairston hits a three-run homer tonight in the nine hole, I guess we're doing it all season.GYFNG…Four in a row.

We have a league here in Central Florida called the Central Florida Collegiate Baseball League consisting of 6 teams made up of mostly SEC and ACC college guys and they use wooden bats. Quality baseball equivalent to rookie league dominating by pitching. Davey Johnson managed the Sanford team and Frankie Viola managed the Leesburg team last season but both are now busy with their ML duties. Had about 20 draftees in the league last season and anxious to see how many this year.

I understand that because the Nats only scored two runs a game hitting the pitcher 8th, some might say it didn't work. However, if you look at the situations in which Werth was hitting, you'll find that he was hitting with guys on base often. The failure was not in the scheme. The failure was all in Werth failing to come through.

- Eugene in Oregon - Jun 15, 2011 at 12:09 AM
Sunshine @ 7:04I'm not a Sabre-geek, but I understand the pitcher-batting-eight theory well enough to know that it's not meant to help in any individual at-bat. The notion is that over the course of a 162-game season it will generate x-number of additional runs, which will lead to an extra couple of wins (no more). You can argue whether that's true or not, but it's not something you can evaluate based on a single at-bat. By that standard, you could argue that having your best hitter bat third doesn't work because Zimmerman just struck out to end the third.

Maya is AAA quality. In AAA it sure appeared that way. And it has appeared that way since he left AAA. Rizzo needs to give him more opportunities than others, since he invested $6M (?) in the guy. But that just makes him an expensive AAA pitcher.

I always wanted baseball here in DC especially National League baseball because I was a life long Philly fan but I've been in DC for 25 years and I can root how I want to.

Danny Espinosa was not late to cover 2B, Desmond blew the play. It was his play to make on his own all the way. That guy is KILLING this club. Maybe some day he gets it together but he's AA caliber right now. Even after 30+ games of error-free ball, he's still a defensive liability and his bat is awful. He needs to be in 'Cuse. Why they keep trotting the guy out night after night to stink it up at the plate (batting second!) and HOPE that he plays a midling SS is beyond me. Maya deserved better tonight.dfh21
- Wally - Jun 15, 2011 at 1:03 AM
I kind of agree that the Yuniesky experiment should be 'No Maya'. I think his signing was the same philosophy Rizzo shows towards the draft. He likes the college guys because he feels like he knows what he is getting more than the HS guys. Maya had a track record, and I think Rizzo felt more comfortable projecting him. I can't fault it, really. The problem that I see is his velocity is much lower than advertised. 88-90 is not 93, and those mph matter for a guy like him.Looks like we missed on the guy. It happens.

Loved the Stinko de Maya reference, and it's perfectly apropos. Guy has had one decent outing against the horrible-hitting. Against everybody else he's been the same: three decent innings, lit up by the fifth and gone, good-bye. He's a junkballer whom batters can just wait for their pitch. He doesn't get the wide strike zone that a vet like Livo gets. So he has to come over the plate, and he gets pounded by the second or third go-round. AAAA, at best. Probably just AA. He's Matt Chico, XL-size.

Except for Desmond batting 2nd and Nix out of the lineup for Hairston, the Sabermetric lineup appears to work for this team. Now if someone could just convince Riggleman to let Nix play against left-handed pitching … they just might get above the .500 mark by the All-Star break.

So I get up to eat some more crow and what's this? A lead and scored more than 3? Oh my, I was wrong after watching all those 1 run games!!! I get it, Sec3MySofa is a psychiatrist. And if it is self-pity what does the good doctor prescibe? How 'bout a win? Would that cure self-pity doc?

With that outburst of runs.. anyone guessing that our man at the park – Mark Z was out of the press box? I am thinking he was trying to confirm that Ankiel is hurt and will be on the DL (SO WE CAN SEE NIX IN EVERY GAME FOR THE NEXT 3 WEEKS) or standing in line at the Shake Shack?

Wow, great win!! HUGE WIN in front of so many fans! But, we were lucky Pudge didn't bat in the bottom of the 7th and was an IBB. And they win with ostensibly their worst starter? Great game !!!!

Wooohoooo!! Sure glad I didn't turn it when they were down 6 to 1, because I would have missed one heck of a comeback!

I know you are supposed to be scared of good hitters and walk them with 2 outs and all. But with our Nats, in close games, these kind of moves tend to backfire most of the times. Also I do not like the idea of backing down from a challenge of facing a hitter as good as Pujols. I mean we are thinking of sending this kid to an ASG. What is he going to do there? Walk 3 batters and load the bases?Anyways, glad to be proven wrong by Drew. Great win. I did not expect them to come back and win. Everyone came through when they needed to. I am too happy tonight.
- MicheleS - Jun 15, 2011 at 2:49 AM

- Mississippi Snopes - Jun 15, 2011 at 3:08 AM
The Nats official scorer is clueless. Ryan Theriot takes 2B in the 9th, taking away the double play and all but ensuring that Pujols will come up representing the tying run. Huge play, very smart baseball, and very damaging to the Nats.And what does our scorekeeper think happened? DEFENSIVE INDIFFERENCE! Give me a break. Can't we find someone to do this job who has some idea of what the game is about?
- Drew8 - Jun 15, 2011 at 3:13 AM
Hey Mark:Harper has missed Hagerstown's last two games.Hurt? Promoted? Home seeing his family? What gives?Elsewhere on the farm, Solis and Detwiler had quality outings, though neither got a win.

- NatStat - Jun 15, 2011 at 3:58 AM
Maya loves his curve balls—so do Pujols and Berkman.But looking on the plus side of this game, Rizzo now has a great everyday batting practice pitcher that can travel with the team for $8 million. Hey, good ones don't come cheap!
- A DC Wonk - Jun 15, 2011 at 4:08 AM
RickH said…"Hmmm … Did someone say 'No way we score 3 or more'?"Actually, that part didn't bother me as much as what followed — when he said "Sorry for the negative post but it's fact."If he's sorry to be negative, then he should just stop doing it — stop being sorry and stop posting.And while he's stopped posting, he should go to the dictionary and look up what "fact" means.

- Drew8 - Jun 15, 2011 at 4:41 AM
Thanks, Mark for the updates, the LaRoche news and the sartorial splendor. So what's the deal with Harper? Are they just pacing him in his first long season, or is he hurt?
- Grandstander - Jun 15, 2011 at 4:57 AM
Just got back. Most of my comments are covered. I still don't think walking Pujols was smart, even though it worked, but hey, whatever!I just want to comment on the atmosphere tonight. The place was packed for a Tuesday night game, even against the Cards. But what was more surprising was how many were hometown fans. Things were legit crazy down in the bowl during the 7th inning come back and I was also surprised by how many stuck it out all the way to the 9th.The most electric crowd I've seen in a while at the park. I guess it was the weather and the $2 seats or something. Either way, the most fun I've had at the park since the Brewers double header back in April, and the most rewarding win by far.
- Scooter - Jun 15, 2011 at 4:57 AM
Andrew, what on earth was Mark Zuckerman doing in your home?
- Andrew - Jun 15, 2011 at 12:55 PM
Scooter, yah, I didn't write that to well.LOLI saw Mark going into the clubhouse (he was the 1st out of all the media). Turns out it was for the LaRoche announcement.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 15, 2011 at 2:13 PM
Was texting some friends during the game. Big Cat and I agreed that the Pujols IBB was the correct call. Had Berkman homered it would have backfired, but still the right move. Another friend of mine who is a former High school head baseball coach who is a huge Cardinals fan said that their bullpen is terrible. He was cringing when they took Lopez out with only a 4 run lead. He said the 7th inning was not a surprise to him even with the Bats batting whoas this year.

Hornitos Plata Tequila
Review: Hornitos Plata Tequila 82.5/100
a Review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on Aug 09, 2011
Hornitos Plata Tequila is a 100 % Agave Tequila produced by the Sauza Tequila Import Company located in Tequila, a municipality of the state of Jalisco, Mexico. The Tequila is the creation of Don Francisco Havier Sauza (Don Franco), a third generation member of the Sauza family who founded the La Preseverancia, distillery. Don Franco is credited with helping the Mexican Government to establish the Jalisco region of Mexico as the exclusive origin of genuine tequila in 1974.
According to the company website, the Plata is constructed to be a pure expression of the natural agave flavour of Tequila, and is made with no aging or contact with wood at all. The bottle I am reviewing (pictured below) is a 750ml bottle, and it is bottled at 40 % alcohol by volume.
In the Bottle 4/5
When I did my review of Hornitos Reposado Tequila, I likened the shape of the bottle to the image of an ancient horned altar. I was making the point that the marketing gurus who selected the bottle shape may have been playing a subliminal game with their consumers. Horned altars were common in ancient Mesopotamian culture and played an important role in fertility rites (which were believed to increase virility and sexual prowess). The advertising I have seen on television seems to be playing with similar themes where the Plata Tequila is featured in humorous commercial as a Tequila with purer intentions than its consumer.
The implications in the commercial are obvious, and sexual innuendo seems to part of the overall presentation of the spirit to the North American public. I have no quibbles with the marketing people. I think that both the marketing presentation and the bottle presentation are witty and serve to catch a person's attention. I just wish that when we open our bottles of Hornitos Plata Tequila, we could 'pop' our corks instead of unscrewing our metal caps.
In the Glass 8.5/10
I poured out a small sample of the Hornitos Plata into my glass and began with a good look at the tequila spirit before I began to nose it. It is a clear spirit, and I could detect no hint of colour. This is consistent with a blanco spirit which has had no contact with wood. I gave my glass a light tilt and a slow swirl and discovered a light sheen of tequila was left on the inside of the glass which slowly disappeared but gave up no legs. Again this is consistent with my expectations, and I am happy with my observations.
When I brought the glass to my nose, I discovered a moderately punky agave aroma with a mild white pepper scent rising from the glass. There is a light vegetal earthiness in the aroma and some very light hints of citrus (I am thinking lime and lime zest). I like how clean the aroma is. Maybe I am falling a little for the hype on the website, but my feeling is that I am about to experience an unusually pure tequila spirit.
In the Mouth 50/60
The entry into the mouth is spicy with more of that citrus than I noticed on the nose. The spicy taste is kind of like black pepper but with a touch of cloves and ginger thrown in. The vegetal earthiness of the Agave fruit lies under the spices accenting them with that punky agave taste but in some ways the earthiness takes a backseat to the pepper which becomes even spicier as you sip some more. I detect a hint of almond flavour and perhaps a touch of coriander as well. Like the aroma, I am finding the taste clean and crisp. It is perhaps a tad spicier than my own person preference would lean; but I can certainly understand a well indoctrinated Tequila aficionado really liking what they taste.
As part of the review I mixed a Margarita. However rather than my usual Royal Alexander Margarita which uses Louis Alexandre Grand Marnier, I mixed a more traditional Margarita (see recipe below) with triple sec instead. The resulting cocktail was very nice. It was tart and zesty and just lightly sweet the way a good Margarita ought to be.
In the Throat 12/15
We have a very traditional finish as the Hornitos Plata Tequila has a spicy exit filled with white pepper. The earthy agave is apparent as well, but the spiciness of the finish is definitely much more apparent than the earthiness. Although the exit was spicy, I did not notice any undo burn. The tequila will knock your tonsils for a loop, but it will not char your esophagus.
An interesting aspect of the finish is the impression of dryness (or it may be more correct to say the lack of sweetness) I taste. I suspect this lack of sweetness is responsible for how good I found the Plata worked in the Margarita which I mixed. This is definitely a good cocktail tequila.
The Afterburn 8/10
I have previously reviewed the Hornitos Reposado and found it to be a powerful, spicy, and earthy tequila which in some ways overwhelmed me. When I began my review of the Hornitos Plata, I was a little worried that I would have the same experience. But I found that the Plata was quite different. The centerpiece of the flavour is the agave with all of its spiciness and earthiness, but this tequila is clean and crisp in flavour, and far more approachable than I was expecting. The tequila is still just a bit too spicy for me to enjoy sipping neat on a regular basis; but as a cocktail tequila I am finding Hornitos Plata hard to beat.
I should mention that Sauza Tequila is now part of Beam Global Spirits, and it was the Beam Global Team here in Alberta who made a sample of Hornitos Plata available to me such that I could provide this review.
You may read some of my other Tequila Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Suggested Recipe
I mentioned earlier in the review that a traditional Margarita is a great cocktail with the Hornitos Plata. Here is the recipe:
The Margarita Cocktail (A Traditional Recipe)
1 1/2 oz Hornitos Plata Tequila
3/4 oz Triple Sec
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
1 tsp simple syrup (optional)
Splash of soda (optional)
lime slice for garnish
Chill a cocktail glass and rim the outside with coarse salt
Place the tequila, lime, Triple Sec, and simple syrup into a metal shaker
Shake until the outside of the shaker frosts
Strain into the chilled cocktail glass
Add a splash of soda if desired
Garnish with Lime
I am also going to suggest a recipe of my construction called The Green Ripper which is part of my ongoing series of Tequila cocktails which are named after the Travis McGee novels of American author John D. MacDonald. I have always like the Travis McGee novels, and the titles of these novels just seem to me to be particularly well suited to be also the names of great tequila cocktails.
The Green Ripper
1 1/2 oz Hornitos Plata Tequila
3/4 oz Bols Blue Curacao
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
Orange and Mango Soda (Koala Brand)
Place the tequila, the Blue Curacao, and the fresh juice into a metal shaker
Shake until the outside of the shaker frosts
Strain into the chilled wine glass
Add Orange and Mango Soda slowly stirring until the desired shade of green is achieved
Garnish with Lime if desired
Enjoy Responsibly!
Note: If you are interested in more of my original cocktail recipes, please click this link (Cocktails and Recipes) for more of my mixed drink recipes!
You may (loosely) interpret the scores as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing Tequila. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, (we are probably still cocktail in territory).
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing delicious cocktails!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

Hi zhvisitor,
To my opinion, I prefer to Italian cuisine. For this I agree with Fingernail, Peccati di Gola is a good place, you can taste the delicious pasta and pizzas.
And if you want to taste a fantastic hamburger for sure you can go to "Roman Seaside" in Jida closed to Harbour View Hotel.
Furthermore, for bar I recommended go to Danis Corner (you can play the pool) and La Boheima (You can join their BBQ party and Latin party at Fri)
These four venues you can search their review on our web:http://www.deltabridges.com/zhuhai-reviews
Hope these can help you

This Volkswagen ad features a man from Minn. with a heavy accent that some people are criticizing as being culturally insensitive. / File
No, Darth Vader - spurned by Volkswagen for this year's Super Bowl commercial - hasn't concocted cultural revenge.
But the force is suddenly hitting VW, with vocal critics claiming its big game spot - this time featuring a white, Midwesterner who feigns a Jamaican accent - is racist.
VW insists it will broadcast the ad during Sunday's game on CBS. "There is no thought to pulling it," says Tim Mahoney, chief product and marketing office at Volkswagen of America. It began showing online Monday and since then, has been a social-media buzz saw - with most folks liking it, but some critics totally trashing it.
Long gone are the days when the Super Bowl was just a football championship. Now, it's also Madison Avenue's biggest one-day stage. As a result, lots of cultural causes, organizations and special-interest groups have tried to crowd in.
The stage is littered with Super Bowl ads that eventually got yanked because of objections by interest groups - including two in 2007: a Snickers spot that showed two men reacting with disgust after accidentally sealing lips; and a General Motors spot that showed a robot appearing to commit suicide.
Some would like them to be joined by this VW ad about a happy-go-lucky white guy who tells his office mates to be happy in his Jamaican accent.
"It's pretty horrific," says Ricki Fairley-Brown, president of the multicultural marketing agency Dove Marketing. "Why do they have a white guy from Minnesota faking a Jamaican accent?"
Even more troubled by the spot is Rochelle Newman-Carrasco, chief hispanic marketing strategist at Walton Isaacson, an African-American, Gay/Lesbian and Hispanic agency. "What happens in this ad is that the culture becomes a punch line, and that is offensive."
Pop cultural guru Barbara Lippert is not amused, either. "It made me uncomfortable to see all of those white people in an office setting doing this," she says. "I found it offensive."
Even then, she says, after offering a similar commentary on NBC's Today Show, "I've heard from thousands of people telling me to lighten up." An online polling of Today viewers concurred with that sentiment. More than 93% said they like the spot.
So does Wykeham McNeill, Jamaica's minister of tourism and entertainment. "We view it as a compliment," says McNeill. "People should get into their inner Jamaica and get happy." He's even negotiating with VW for some sort of co-branding.
As for the actor who stars in the spot, well, he's just hoping it gets to air.
"People are entitled to their own opinion," says Erik Nicolaisen, the 33-year-old actor. But for a second opinion, he asked his brother-in-law, who is from Kingston, Jamaica. "He loves it."

Hi all
I am looking at the various ballast systems. I don't want to use propel, piston or pump, And I am kinda torn between compressor and CO2 system.
I know that the compressor system is what the real ones use, and I can do as many dives as I want as long as the batteries are ok, also I can use the compressed air for hydrolics and other fun stuff like torpedoes, etc...
However it is a bit on the pricey side and require a good dose of electronic to implement everything I want.
On the other hand a CO2 system is cheaper, not as complex, and the parts are available at any paintball shop.
The problem is that I have to count my dives, the pressure is pretty high which can be dangerous in case of problems.
Let me know what you think.

Pentagon pulls plug on BAE F-35 helmet, NH to build infrared missile warning system
The Pentagon said on Thursday it would halt work on a second pilot helmet being developed for the F-35 fighter jet by BAE, and focus exclusively on the main helmet built by Rockwell Collins and Israel's Elbit Systems.
"Our program team with decades of experience in development, production, and fielding of helmet-mounted displays has achieved every milestone to date, providing a critical viable alternative for the customer," she said. "As a valued and long-term supporter and partner on the Joint Strike Fighter program, BAE Systems continues to stand ready to support the program in the future."

We talked to voters around the United States leading up to and on Election Day and asked what advice they would give our next president. Here's what they said. So, what's your advice for the next president? Have your say in the comments section below.
Your advice for the next president
Comments 2 comments
2 Responses to Your advice for the next president
I believe it's critical for the next President to work hard(er) to achieve bipartisan compromise and solve the huge problems that this nation faces immediately, in the mid-term and longer term. I'd like to know specifically what he will do (differently) to achieve this.
Govern by example. No more expensive vacations such as Spain, South Africa and Hawai. Encourage Made in USA products.

4.11 AJAX Testing
AJAX, an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a web development technique used to create more responsive web applications. It uses a combination of technologies in order to provide an experience that is more like using a desktop application. This is accomplished by using the XMLHttpRequest object and JavaScript to make asynchronous requests to the web server, parsing the responses and then updating the page DOM HTML and CSS.
Utilizing AJAX techniques can have tremendous usability benefits for web applications. From a security standpoint, however, AJAX applications have a greater attack surface than normal web applications, and they are often developed with a focus on what can be done rather than what should be done. Also, AJAX applications are more complicated because processing is done on both the client side and the server side. The use of frameworks to hide this complexity can help to reduce development headaches, but can also result in situations where developers do not fully understand where the code they are writing will execute. This can lead to situations where it is difficult to properly assess the risk associated with particular applications or features.
AJAX applications are vulnerable to the full range of traditional web application vulnerabilities. Insecure coding practices can lead to SQL injection vulnerabilities, misplaced trust in user-supplied input can lead to parameter tampering vulnerabilities, and a failure to require proper authentication and authorization can lead to problems with confidentiality and integrity. In addition, AJAX applications can be vulnerable to new classes of attack such as Cross Site Request Forgery (XSRF).
Testing AJAX applications can be challenging because developers are given a tremendous amount of freedom in how they communicate between the client and the server. In traditional web applications, standard HTML forms submitted via GET or POST requests have an easy-to-understand format, and it is therefore easy to modify or create new well-formed requests. AJAX applications often use different encoding or serialization schemes to submit POST data making it difficult for testing tools to reliably create automated test requests. The use of web proxy tools is extremely valuable for observing behind-the-scenes asynchronous traffic and for ultimately modifying this traffic to properly test the AJAX-enabled application.
In this section, we will visit these topics:
4.11.1 AJAX Vulnerabilities (OWASP-AJ-001)
4.11.2 How to test AJAX (OWASP-AJ-002)

Each side receives basic knowledge of the other. A good measure of this would be what the general population of the character's homeworld knows.
For example, that Superman has a weakness to Kryptonite is general knowledge, but that he's Clark Kent is not.
