Top Definition
Beer Bike is one of Rice University's most important traditions; it is a combination intramural bicycle race and drinking competition dating back to 1957. Ten riders and ten chuggers make up a team. Elaborate rules include details such as a prohibition of "bulky or wet clothing articles designed to absorb beer/water or prevent spilled beer/water from being seen" and regulations for chug can design. Each residential college as well as the Graduate Student Association participates with a men's team, a women's team, and alumni (co-ed) team. Each leg of the race is a relay in which a team's "chugger" must chug 24 ounces of beer or water for the men's division and 12 ounces for women before the team's "rider" may begin to ride. Participants who both ride and chug are referred to as "Ironmen". Willy Week is a term coined in the 1990s to refer to the week preceding Beer-Bike, a time of general energy and excitement on campus. Jacks (pranks) are especially common during Willy Week; some examples in the past include removing showerheads, encasing the Hanszen guardian, and burying McMurtry's servery furniture in a beach volleyball court. The late morning of the Beer Bike race itself begins with what is by some estimations the largest annual water balloon fight in the world. Beer-Bike is Rice's most prominent student event, and for younger alumni it serves as an unofficial reunion weekend on par with Homecoming.
Person 1: Dude, are you excited for beer bike this year?
Person 2: Is that a joke? Liverstrong all the way!

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
The Proposition There was a millionaire who collected live alligators. He kept them in the pool in back of his mansion. The millionaire also had a beautiful daughter who was single. One day, the millionaire decides to throw a huge party, and during the party he announces, "My dear guests, I have a proposition to every man here. I will give one million dollars, or my daughter, to the man who can swim across this pool full of alligators and emerge unharmed!" As soon as he finished his last word, there was the sound of a large splash in the pool. The guy in the pool was swimming with all his might, and the crowd began to cheer him on. Finally, he made it to the other side of the pool unharmed. The millionaire was impressed. He said, "That was incredible! Fantastic! I didn't think it could be done! Well, I must keep my end of the bargain. Do you want my daughter or the one million dollars?" The guy catches his breath, and then says, "Listen, I don't want your money! And I don't want your daughter! I want the jerk who pushed me in the pool!"

The Loving Husband Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen. Man: "Hello?" Woman: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?" Man: "Yes." Woman: "I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $1,000. Is it okay if I buy it, sweetie?" Man: "Sure... go ahead if you like it that much. I want you to be happy." Woman: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2003 models. I saw one that I really liked. It's a beautiful silver." Man: "How much?" Woman: "$60,000" Man: "Okay, but for that price I want it with all the options." Woman: "Great! Oh, and just one more thing... the house we wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $950,000." Man: "Wow, then go ahead and make them an offer, but just offer $895,000." Woman: "Okay. Thank you darling -- you're wonderful! I'll see you later! I love you!" Man: "Bye, I love you too." The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment. Then he asks: "Anyone know who this phone belongs to?"
Little Johnny Gives To The Sick Little Johnny was in church with him mom for Sunday Mass, when he suddenly felt nauseous. "Mom, I think I'm going to throw up!" She told him, "I want you to run outside as fast as you can. Run across the lawn and go behind the bushes. You can throw up behind the bushes and nobody will see you." So Little Johnny hauled ass for the door. Less than a minute later, he returned to his seat next to his mom. He had the look of obvious relief on his young face. "Did you make it all the way to the bushes, Johnny?" "I didn't even have to go that far, mom. Just as I got to the front door, I found a box that had a sign on it that read 'For The Sick'."
Three Friends A dying man gathered his best friends -- a lawyer, doctor and clergyman -- at his bedside and handed each of them an envelope containing $25,000 in cash. He made them each promise that after his death and during his repose, they would place the three envelopes in his coffin. He told them that he wanted to have enough money to enjoy the next life. A week later the man died. At the wake, the lawyer, doctor and clergyman each concealed an envelope in the coffin and bid their old client and friend farewell. By chance, the three men met several months later. Soon the clergyman, feeling guilty, blurted out a confession saying that there was only $10,000 in the envelope he placed in the coffin. He felt, rather than waste all the money, he would send it to a mission in South America. He asked for their forgiveness. The doctor, moved by the gentle clergyman's sincerity, confessed that he too had kept some of the money for a worthy medical charity. The envelope, he admitted, had only $8,000 in it. He said he too could not bring himself to waste the money so frivolously when it could be used to benefit others. By this time the lawyer was seething with self-righteous outrage. He expressed his deep disappointment in the felonious behavior of two of his oldest and most trusted friends. "I am the only one who kept my promise to our dying friend. I want you both to know that the envelope I placed in the coffin contained the full amount." The other men looked down in embarrassment and the lawyer continued, "Indeed, only I honored the deathbed wishes of our great friend. My envelope contained my personal check for the entire $25,000."
The Drunk Patron A man walks into the front door of a bar. He is obviously drunk and staggers up to the bar, seats himself on a stool and, with a belch, asks the bartender for a drink. The bartender politely informs the man that it appears he has already had plenty to drink and that he could not be served additional liquor. The bartender offers to call him a cab. The drunk is briefly surprised, then softly scoffs, grumbles, climbs down from the barstool, and staggers out the front door. A few minutes later, the same drunk stumbles in the side door of the bar. He wobbles up to the bar and hollers for a drink. The bartender comes over and -- still politely if not more firmly -- refuses service to the man and again offers to call a cab. The drunk looks at the bartender angrily for a moment, curses, and shows himself out the side door, all the while grumbling and shaking his head. A few minutes later, the same drunk bursts in through the back door of the bar. He plops himself up on a barstool, gathers his wits, and belligerently orders a drink. The bartender comes over and emphatically reminds the man that he is drunk and will be served no drinks. He then tells him that he will either call a cab or the police immediately. The surprised drunk looks at the bartender and in hopeless anguish cries, "Man! How many bars do you work at?"
The Truck Driver A truck driver amused himself by running over lawyers as they walked down the side of the road. Every time he saw a lawyer walking along the road, he would swerve to hit him. There would be a loud "thud," and then he would swerve back on the road. As the truck driver drove along one day, he saw a priest hitchhiking; he pulled over and asked the priest, "Where are you going, Father?" The priest said he was on his way to his church up the road. "I'll give you a lift." The priest climbed into the passenger seat and the truck driver continued down the road. Suddenly, the truck driver saw a lawyer walking down the road and instinctively swerved to hit him. At the last minute, he remembered he had a priest in the truck and swerved back onto the road. Even though he knew he missed the lawyer, he still heard a loud "thud." Unsure of where the noise came from, he glanced in his mirrors. When he didn't see anything, so he turned to the priest and said, "I'm sorry, Father. I almost hit a lawyer." The priest replied, "That's okay, I got him with the door."

Do any of you have experience with the dog training shock collars?The dogs might benefit from staying in a kennel during the day, but they do keep deer out of the yard. The motley crew consists of a Malamute, Beagle mix, and Boston Terrier. We never had a problem with them killing anything until a friend brought her two big dogs for a run in the country and the younger one killed the first goose.
Look, stop killing the geese with dogs people. Build a bird cage fence around them side to side and top cover, bottom cover if needed. Remember dogs dig under the fence!!!
I have no iea about these things before but after reading these posts i get a lot of information here and see some interessting stuff here. I think it will be hel;pful for me in practical life and i can get benefit from these...

Phoronix: NVIDIA Confirms Linux Driver Problems
Yesterday I reported on it appearing the 295.40 NVIDIA Linux driver effectively fell off a cliff with a range of performance regressions, stability issues, and other problems. This issue has been confirmed by NVIDIA and they're working to address the situation...
I'm glad I'm using a recent card :-P
It's actually up to G80 cards not pre-G80, although nvidia used some funky wording there.
What about for a GeForce 7900GS card?
Yeah as that one is a Geforce 7 it should also have the issue according to NV

True stories from the files of The Armed Citizen
While the men held the store manager at gunpoint, a 57-year-old man carrying a concealed .45 cal. handgun, who had been shopping at the store at the time of the robbery, took action. The customer did not hesitate to draw his gun and fire at the suspects.
One of the men robbing the store suffered fatal wounds to the head, chest and shoulder. The second suspect fled, but was later caught and charged with robbery and felony murder.
There were reportedly no other injuries. (The Florida Times-Union, Jacksonville, Fla., 8/29/12).
He grabbed his .45 cal. pistol and crept downstairs to investigate. He spotted the silhouette of a man, but did not fire because he had teenage sons in the house and was not 100 percent sure of his target.
He called out only to discover the man was an intruder who had broken through the glass of the back door.
Stith held the 29-year-old intruder at gunpoint until police arrived. Everyone involved was reportedly unharmed. (Sandusky Register., Milan, Ohio, 9/29/12).
He then fatally shot another customer outside the pub. When he pointed his pistol at Mark Ktytor, however, Ktytor produced his own firearm and fired multiple rounds, leaving the assailant in critical condition.
The suspect will be charged with criminal homicide and attempted homicide upon his release from the hospital. (The Times-Tribune, Plymouth, Pa., 9/11/12).
One man struck her in the jaw while the other ripped off her necklace and earrings.
When the men then attempted to sexually assault the woman, she produced a concealed .32 cal. firearm from her waistband and fired. Both men immediately dropped the stolen jewelry and ran.
After the incident, the woman said her firearm saved her life and that she had a strong message to all women, "If you don't have a gun or you're scared of guns, get familiar with them and get a gun." (FOX Carolina 21, Landrum, S.C., 8/29/12).
Agyemang distracted the robber by telling him there was someone entering the store. When the suspect turned around, Agyemang dashed to the store's back room where he kept his gun.
According to police, multiple shots were fired and the suspect was able to get away on a mountain bike. It is unknown whether or not the suspect was wounded. There were no other reported injuries. (CBS, Winslow Township, N.J., 9/12/12).
It was just past midnight when an armed man wearing a ski mask entered the store and forced Rogers and another store employee, Alicia Grabarczyk, 25, down a hallway toward an office where the safe was kept.
With a concealed handgun in his front pocket, Rogers chose his moment of opportunity carefully. In one quick motion, Rogers pushed Grabarczyk to the floor and fired at the armed robber. He then helped Grabarczyk into the office and out of the line of fire.
Although the burglar had been struck, Rogers saw him raise his firearm. Rogers fired three more rounds at the gunman, which proved fatal. Neither Rogers nor Grabarczyk was harmed. (Indianapolis Star, Indianapolis, Ind., 10/11/12).
Before Duncan fired he told the perpetrator to go away, but 51-year-old William Ragsdell of Lake Elsinore did not acquiesce. The shot was fatal, and Ragsdell died at 6:15 a.m. at the Inland Balley Regional Medical Center in Wildomar. (The Press-Enterprise, Riverside, Calif., 10/9/12).

Many traditional LPs from the 1980s were pressed on low quality vinyl as a mass market product. The record companies wanted to squeeze in as many songs as possible on an album and use as little of the petroleum based vinyl as possible to reduce costs.
This is not the case today. Modern high end vinyl can take the music experience far beyond the LP. For example, by making the engraved grooves deeper and spaced apart more, the record will be less scratch resistant and offer a much higher dynamic range. You can find full size 12 inch records with only one 15 minute track on each side. Sometimes they are even recorded on 45 rpm to push the quality even further.

Anquan Boldin of the Baltimore Ravens answers questions from the media during Super Bowl XLVII Media Day ahead. The Super Bowl hero is now on the verge of being released after refusing to take a pay cut. / Scott Halleran, Getty Images
TEMPE, Ariz -- Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Anquan Boldin is unwilling to take a pay cut to stay with the team he helped win Super Bowl XLVII, and he's changing his tune about retiring rather than hitting the free agent market.
"When I signed with the Ravens, I signed for four years," Boldin told USA TODAY Sports on Saturday at a charity event hosted by former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner. "With me, it's all about principles. At no point, no matter how well I played, would I come back to the table and say, 'I need more money.'
"The contract that I signed was the contract that I intended to play out."
Boldin, entering the last year of his contract, is set to earn $6 million if still on the roster next season. He declined to confirm a USA TODAY Sports report that he turned down the Ravens' bid to restructure his deal. But he's no longer saying he'll retire if the Ravens release him.
"I love the Ravens; I love the organization," he said. "But at the same time, I think everybody understands it's a business, and that's something that I definitely understand. I love everything about the Ravens. But if things don't work out there, I'll sit with my family, we'll talk it over, pray about it and see what God is asking me to do.
"I know how the Ravens feel about me, from a coaching standpoint, from an organizational standpoint, from guys in the locker room. But sometimes the business side doesn't express that."
Boldin, 32, caught 65 passes for 921 yards last season and had six catches for 104 yards and a touchdown in a 34-31 Super Bowl victory vs. the San Francisco 49ers.
Boldin is preparing to become an unrestricted free agent if released, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because talks were ongoing.
Boldin's cap number for 2013 is $7.531 million, and the Ravens are trying to clear room to retain projected free agent linebacker Dannell Ellerbe, among other moves.
"Once (Anquan) has decided, you might as well try to move the Rock of Gibraltar," the person told USA TODAY Sports.
After the Ravens' Super Bowl victory against the San Francisco 49ers, Boldin told NBC Sports Radio that he would retire if released by the Ravens.
"I think he was trying to express loyalty to them," the person said. "I know that he's hoping to stay with them, but he's willing to go someplace else."
The person said that the Ravens' proposal to the 10-year pro did not include an extension.
It's possible a deal could be struck before Tuesday. Even with receivers Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones in tow, losing Boldin would be a huge blow for the Ravens, who locked up Super Bowl MVP quarterback Joe Flacco with a record six-year, $120.6 million contract on Monday.
Boldin was crucial during the Ravens' postseason run, scoring four touchdowns and averaging 17.3 yards on his 22 receptions. During Super Bowl XLVII, Boldin made two key third-down catches to set up a pair of fourth-quarter field goals.
During a news conference Monday, Flacco said the structure and settlement of his contract raised his hopes that Boldin would be retained.
"He's a big part of this offense," Flacco said. "He's a big reason why I'm standing here talking to you guys."

The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianI recently received a request from J. Coleman to make a raw dessert for St. Patrick's Day, and I couldn't resist making a noteworthy cheesecake by using kale's vibrant green color to make a raw sweet kale cheesecake! It sounds freaky, but that's part of the fun. A definitely showstopper for a work function for sure :)
Also, flavor and color are both very important to this recipe, so if your recipe isn't turning out quite green, do a little taste-test before pouring out of the blender. Feel free to add a few more sprigs of kale (or spinach) and blend again to get the right shade of green. But keep taste-testing to make sure you don't make it taste too green :) As written though, this sweet kale cheesecake recipe is lovely and sweet, with absolutely no green flavor at all.
If you have a crappy blender that doesn't blend very well, you should soak your cashews in warm water first for a few hours (to soften them), then rinse and pat dry. But if your blender is good and strong, then you don't need to soak them.
Also, if using kale, be sure to use only the leafy bits -- don't add the spines of the kale. In other words, carefully rip the lettucy-bits off the kale stalk and use those, but throw out the hard spines.
Re: the dish, as you can see I've used a bunch of different molds and a small pie pan, but if you don't have fancy kitchen equipment you can simply pour into any glass-bottomed dish (even a pie plate) and then just throw the whole thing in the freezer, then cut pieces out once frozen.
If you can't eat bananas, you can use another cup of cashews instead.
If you don't have kale, you can easily substitute the kale for green spinach. (For example, use 1 cup spinach instead of the 3/4 cup kale.)
Note: this recipe will melt if not in the freezer! Keep that in mind, and leave in freezer for as long as possible before serving.

Hi I haven't tried your recipe yet but will definitely give it a go. I wanted to offer another suggestion in case it helps. I use parsley in my recipes to get that beautiful green color - lime cheesecake, my dips etc. I never get a bitter greens taste.
Love sharing and seeing how creative everybody is getting. Portia

Raw sweet kale cheesecake recipe
Made this over the weekend, and it was, as usual, wonderful! My only issue was that I made it in mini springform pans, and the cheesecakes were difficult to get off the metal round. Any advice? Should I let them thaw slightly (but not melt) before trying?

ABC Australia's Expert "Swindle" Debate on YouTube
ABC Australia's Expert "Swindle" Debate on YouTube
That didn't take long. Thanks to our good friend down-under at Larvatus Prodeo.
Enjoy! Now all we need up is the Tony Jones Interview.
UPDATE: Here's the Tony Jones Interview with Martin Durkin.
Previous Comments
The enviros-are-nazis angle cracked me up. Like caring for the environment really aligns you with eugenics and state control (you know, how greens are always protesting because they want more genetically modified foods and less wilderness).
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced that the government will move ahead to establish a company that will build and operate a fibre-to-the-home national broadband network. It will create a huge broadband infrastructure from shore to shore, from Melbourne to Bondi which will no doubt have some people running for payday cash advance loans for computers. Many will now be able to stream and download at incredible speed, and watch ARL and Bledisloe Cup matches live on the computer. (Broadband – something to rub in to the Kiwis!) You have to get payday cash advance loans to get broadband in places other than Australia.
Okay, I'll take that as a statement and we'll move on. There's another person down the front here with his hand up. We'll go down the front. We haven't been down there yet, the gentleman with the hat, eh?GENTLEMAN WITH THE HAT:
Alright Um .. I'm a … I study economics, physical economics and astrophysics and also classical music under Lyndon LaRouche and the question I would like to have with the so-called "scientists" on the panel is 400 years ago Johannes Kepler the man that discovered universal gravity actually refuted the method of the IPCC Report of statistical analysis as being like Plato's cave of seeing the shadows on the wall and there you got you know Tony doing the happy dance in front of the, uh, you know, the fire being the reality but these guys are just looking at the statistics of what they're seeing, empirically seeing, and that's – that's true for them. Now, Johannes Kepler actually proved that the previous models before that as actually being incorrect in the sense of method wise, now this has been a general trend for 30 years, since the 'Boomer' drugs, sex and rock and roll.TONY JONES:
Okay, listen, I think … sorry …GWTH:
so what's your comment on that the two, the geologists and the IPCC.TONY JONES:
I have, I have I have a feeling that that's a slightly obscure point to be making here and that …GWTH:
Well … well … method is very importantTONY JONES:
I understand …GWTH:
It's the crux of it.
The guy who was so full of himself when he started spouting about
C14 in coal
"in copious measurable amounts". What ever that means?! It can't be both!
Whilst C14 in coal is sometimes measurable, it's
- hardly in copious amounts.
As for his claim of
- "over 70 reports",
this would seem to be hyperbole as would his other remarks. rather than scientific ones
Unless one includes
creationist websites,
The creationist 'froth', is because they believe it means they can prove a young earth < 6000 years. Rather than the 4.7 billion years!
How did it get there? Well if it were there because the earth was very young, it would be present in the ratio determined by radioactive decay. It sounds like that from the limited amount of reliable information available, that there wasn't much!
It is known that the C14 must have been there for less than 50 ky.
So presence of C14 in the deposits means that either the coal deposits are young, or it's got there by one or more secondary processes. Since it's possible to determine the age of coal deposits stratigraphically, we can be fairly certain that the coal is tens of millions of years old at least. In some cases it will be possible to infer the age by other means e.g. K-Ar dating.
It is known that:
The levels of C14 correlate with the radioactivity of the surrounding rocks. There is also a possibility that some C14 may be produced by solar neutrinos.
It looks like in-situ production of new C14 is the best-supported hypothesis; research is ongoing, and new research on the deep subterranean bacteria.
One of the things overlooked by the triumphalist creationist [he must be a creationist idiot because he referred to claims of coal being millions or billions of years old] prattling on in the debate is the fact that annually we are putting ~ 7.2 GTC of carbon into the atmosphere and we're not taking it out! Admittedly natural processes are removing about half of this.
But the the importance of C14 in coal is largely irrelevant. Although it would be nice to know exactly how the tiny amounts of it really got there, so that the creationists and man made GW can be made to shut-up. As usual, this will be being brought-up for decades by Exxon fundies.
Personally, I think his supreme noodliness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster put it there! ;)
Incredible. These skeptics have no arguments left that haven't been debunked, so now they try to smear people by calling them (implicitly) eugenicists. Good job, nice try. If you can't refute the messenger, throw shit at him. I couldn't believe that that guy claimed Kepler discovered "universal gravity". Um, yeah, you mean Isaac Newton? I think that more or less indicates the general intelligence of those skeptics. While the "discussion" was entertaining by seeing people make fools out of themselves, the only thing left were people making statements and not really asking questions. My favorite part "So more people is a good thing?" Yeah, cause the enviromental movement wants to exterminate billions of people to avoid overpopulation.
Do the ABC not have broadcast assistants checking what the audience want to say first?

User talk:Vater
I added some content to the 'text' section of the guidelines page that you asked about. It is still rather sparse. I suppose that part of the reason for this is that much of the site edits have been handled by Dru and myself. She mostly adding the content and usually images, and basically being the editor of the resulting handbook. I have tried to make improvements in other areas and have done some edits and image uploads (which I also tried to document some best methods).
If you have further thoughts on any part of this process, including wiki templates, wiki documentation, and anything else, I am willing to listen. I feel that what we should strive for, is a level nearing wikipedia. There are still many things that can be improved, especially things that would make an editor's job easier, shorter, or more intuitive. You found the style guidelines page, which means either it made sense to seek it, or it is something normally found on a wiki site. I am not sure of all such pages, that is part of the reason why a lot of the editor documentation is missing.
I might suggest to explore the entire wiki site and see what is here already. The special pages are very helpful for discovering problems, such as double redirects and other faulty things. I have tried to have all handbook pages categorized, and all useful pages with one of the two headers.
--Tigersharke 02:48, 6 July 2012 (PDT)
You're doing fine. I looked at your change to 'security' and don't see any problems with the wording. Its good to have another active editor on the wiki. If you have any questions about the templates or suggestions for new templates, I'm willing to assist with them. Templates can be quite challenging to create, but I eventually succeed with my ideas.
As I said once before, I want editing the wiki to be as simplified as possible while also being as automated as possible, both are accomplished by well-designed templates. It will take time to finesse those solutions in template form, but eventually they will exist.
It also helps you and any other editor, to have written guidelines and other editor documentation. With these, we can remain consistent on the entire wiki site, not only the handbook portion of it.
I think I should set aside a space somewhere for the ideas I desire or plan for. I'll let you know when it exists and where.
Thank you for all your efforts!
--Tigersharke 13:39, 8 July 2012 (PDT)
Your request for "define numbering consecutively"- is this meant to be part of the Collation section of the style guidelines? I'm not sure if there is a certain 'best' or 'worst' way of doing it. Unless you have a certain example that you could give me to help with defining this in a general way?
--Tigersharke 13:39, 8 July 2012 (PDT)
- I mean numbered lists (by using
). - The Style Guidelines are saying for Bullets that a hard enter between the items are needed (to ensure that the PDF and EPUB versions format correctly).
- For example in Creating an Automated Installation with pc-sysinstall you can find the following code.
To create a custom installation, perform the following steps:
1. Text for step 1
2. Text for step 2
3. Text for step 3
These steps are discussed in more detail below.
- And what is going on in EasyPBI?
- An other variant (yes, i modified it also) is used in Printing#Manually Adding a Driver.
- There is an other one in PC-BSD Wiki:Style Guidelines#External Hypertext Links. It is a mix of HTML and wiki-markup (or not?).
- Please create rules for numbered lists. :-)
- --Rg 21:07, 8 July 2012 (PDT)
Here is a response to some of those questions:
- The PC-BSD Wiki:Style Guidelines#External Hypertext Links is all wiki markup, although part of it does look like html because it uses < and > to enclose some things. I need to make parts of it bold to better clarify it. In addition to this, there are certain situations where it truly is a mix of wiki markup and html, such as the Wiki Site TODO page.
- At the moment, I do not believe there is a specific rule already being followed for when to use numbered lists. It would make sense to use them for specific step-by-step instruction, however, I do not believe that this is used much at all. I believe that the primary method of describing processes is entirely with words rather than numbered lists. I will have to skim through the handbook to see how it might best be used and clarify the conditions that would necessitate it.
- The EasyPBI page is missing a number of images, that automatically become red text to indicate this. The odd "2." you noticed seems to be a remnant of an edit, and not intentional. The page may not yet be as perfect as desired or may be incompletely modified, causing some of the consistency issues and other flaws.
- Beware, there are templates of various format on the wiki, including more than one way to make the tables. The intent with all variants is to eventually simplify and speed up editing. I will have to set aside somewhere to indicate which templates have been depreciated, or perhaps simply a "depreciated" category tag for those.
Thank you for your help and motivation toward getting things defined. It will help us all to stay consistent. I already now realize PC-BSD Wiki:Style Guidelines appears to incompletely apply to itself.
--Tigersharke 22:42, 8 July 2012 (PDT)
With regard to the use of hard enter for bullets, I am uncertain if or how this makes a difference because the wiki software will re-interpret all content anyways. I believe a more proper way of handling the "hard enter" would be to add a <br> tag.
--Tigersharke 01:27, 9 July 2012 (PDT)
Brand new template added to style guidelines- citelink now has its use for external links described. Other changes to the guidelines as well, and they will continue to be improved.
--Tigersharke 01:34, 11 July 2012 (PDT)
thin client page
Hey there..
I am curious whether you are able to successfully edit & save any edits to the Thin Client page. There is a weird bug of some sort that prevents me from editing the whole page or the first section, and being able to save it. If the content of the first section is all selected, you may see a few places where there appear to be extra spaces (at the end of lines, one is at the beginning of a blank line). I do not believe those are actually spaces, but something else which causes this error I describe.
Anyhow, either the page can be fixed by someone other than myself (no clue why I am lucky to be bitten by this bug), or at the very least, the external links within the page need to be switched to citelink format as described in the style guidelines.
Thank you for all your efforts!
--Tigersharke 00:46, 25 July 2012 (PDT)
I cannot see "to much spaces" or other strange things. So probably I cannot help, at all.
I changed the every wikipedia link namespace like to the citelink syntax.
--Rg 04:38, 25 July 2012 (PDT)
Those will work fine now. Thanks! For future interwiki type links, they can also use the citelink template in a shorter form (similar idea to usual interwiki link). The style guidelines lists the sites that I setup for this interwiki function, in the special external section.
--Tigersharke 13:51, 25 July 2012 (PDT)
All right! I am happy, that it works (fine)!
BTW: I am a friend of "simple" things (can be used by everyone). So I prefer the "style" of interwiki links (by using a namespace like syntax. Anyway thanks a lot for the (great) template. Of course I will use it, starting from now.
--Rg 15:57, 25 July 2012 (PDT)
categorizing pages
- Pages that are part of the handbook will have these categories: handbook, macro topic (such as control panel), topic (such as bluetooth manager). Whether micro topic or sub-micro topics get categories as well, is not as clear. They *could* but since those are often more verbose, they would probably need to be made a bit more concise (few words, like no more than 2 or three) without losing detail.
- Other pages on the wiki, may have the category pc-bsd wiki and a category of the topic it fits.
- The category, categories is only for category pages and not to categorize normal pages.
- It is okay to create new categories by giving a page a new category membership. It will display a redlink for the category which can be used to make it official and add a description for the new category.
Exploring to see how things are already and discovering what exists are the best ways to learn what to do. I cannot claim that there is perfect consistency through the entire wiki, or even the entire handbook portion of the wiki, but hopefully there is enough consistency to understand the intent and the general rule being applied. I have tried to document things in the Style Guidelines, and various other places (ie, on templates or categories). It never hurts to ask when you are unsure, but as you've also noticed, recent changes will alert you to where you may take a look whether changes are needed (in other words, you can use your best judgement and 'go for it,' you won't permanently wreck anything :).
Thanks for your time and efforts on the wiki, it is certainly appreciated.

Friday, March 2, 2012 - Buckhannon, W.Va.
Three players recorded a hat trick and 10 players total scored at least one goal as the Wilmington University women's lacrosse team opened the 2012 campaign with a 23-4 trouncing over West Virginia Wesleyan at Ross Field on Friday afternoon.
Coaching in her first game as a head coach, Jackie Trainer's Wildcat (1-0) squad opened the scoring on a 8-0 run and never looked back. Wilmington had a 13-3 lead over West Virginia Wesleyan (1-2) at halftime and held the Bobcats to one goal over the entire second half.
Senior attacker Liz Case tallied six goals on 11 shots to lead the Wildcats in the rout. Newcomers Rebekah McCurry and Allison Sain also picked up hat tricks in their first career collegiate games. Kaitlyn Hall picked up the win in goal for the 'Cats, making three saves in her first action as a Wildcat.
The Wildcats got off to a fast start, scoring their first six goals in just over four minutes of game action. McCurry got the 'Cats on the board with her first career goal before Case got her first mark of the game just seconds later. Meggan Apgar tallied the third goal of the game while Megan Keffer added her first goal of her career off a free position shot to make it 4-0. Senior Rebecca Guethler added the fifth goal of the game off a pass from Keffer, making it five goals from five different players to start the game.
McCurry, Guethler and Case each scored their second goal of the game to make it 8-0 with 18:43 to play in the first half. The run ended at eight as the Bobcats got on the board with a goal at the 14:41 mark by Jessica Hardman. They Wildcats would add five more goals in the half, but allow the home team to score with 11 seconds remaining in the half to head into the break leading 13-3.
Case and fellow senior captain Jessica Graybeal collected the first two goals of the second half to make it 15-3 with 25:59 to play in regulation. West Virginia Wesleyan picked up their lone goal of the second half early on, as Kaitlyn Denby scored an unassisted goal with 22:17 to play. That would be the final time the Bobcats got on the board.
The Wildcats went on another 8-0 run to close out the game, started by another goal by Case. Sain added her second goal of the afternoon on a free position shot, followed by Apgar's second goal of the day. Jackie Mayhart recorded her first goal of her career during the run while Graybeal, Keffer and Sain rounded out the scoring for the Wildcats. Sain's final goal made it three 'Cats to score a hat trick on the afternoon.
McCurry led the team with a game high six ground balls, while Apgar and Kory Webster followed with five ground balls each. Brittany Rhodes and Ashley Kroll each caused one turnover in the game while Guethler led the way with a 13-for-17 face off record.
Wilmington has a fast turn-around time for their second game of the year, as they will travel to Wheeling Jesuit on Saturday. The game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.

allen252 5pts I have a 2013 Evoque Dynamic. I loved the looks, it's nimbleness, and stereo, but I get 22 mpg highway, and I cannot drive around 30 mpg in traffic as the turbo jumps in at the slightest touch, causing jarring over acceleration, which makes you pull your foot off the pedal and try again. So annoying I asked LR to buy it back - I paid $62k and they want to give me $42k, so now I am stuck in a vehicle that is the most annoying thing to drive EVER, and sucks gas like a V6. My 4.2L 2002 X-5 got 20 mpg on the highway, and jumped off the line. The Evoque has NOTHING off the line until the turbo winds up, which takes about 3 seconds. Just enough to get you T-boned crossing a busy street.This is my first Land Rover and will be my last. It is a HORRIBLE experience to be stuck in a vehicle that does not function well and does not perform like, and have to keep paying over $1000/month on it.I really can't believe MT ranked this junk Car of the year.
NewportRI 5pts I purchased a 2012 Evoque 5-door. I have encountered a long list of problems. They can be found on my blog:http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5402531082434762211#allposts
SuperCarEnthusiast 5pts I like the look but not the engine options. There are only one. No turbo or larger engine available. Price is high for such a small SUV! If you got the high end model with all the options; I think you could reach the low $60K! No extend warranty included either. Add $3K more for that!
BlackDynamiteNYC 5pts It's better on-road, and off, than pretty much any other SUV here.And it looks twice as good as anything else here, inside and out.It's overpriced by about $5k, and has limited towing, and a smallish cargo areaOne thing Evoque has the others don't?It has "It"! "It" makes it the Winner!BD
planblove 5pts This is basically a car with more ground clearance. I really think the CUVs and SUVs should be separated for this award because the true deserving SUVs are now getting overlooked. Either way the rules for choosing a winner in this segment should change because the automakers have changed the segment so much in the past decade.
jpower102 5pts @MITSUMAN1Sorry to say this but you should just go buy a used Ford Escape or something...
jpower102 5pts @TheDodgeMan.on.FB LOL your name doesn't for sure make you unbiaised by any means LOLWho cares about the economy ... a well executed vehicule is a well executed vehicule .. there will always be more or less practical vehicules out there but this comparo is for ALL suv's .. and seems this one had the most going for it AS A WHOLE .. it will not fit everyone's needs as any other of the one's there.. for MY personnal taste, this one would be my choice .. but if I had 2 kids and a RV, I'd go for something else..
anjelzon 5pts Good selection! I am waiting for the Mazda CX-5 with the turbo-diesel 2.2 to arrive though!
SchumiF1Fan 5pts Good choice! and great to see the unveiling live on CNBC, with Angus MacKenzie and Phil LeBeau. Great looking vehicle, with real off road capability, but I don't think I would buy one. Range Rovers typically rank near the bottom when it comes to quality. I'll wait for the long term test results.
dacronic1 5pts this thing looks great. but i still wish the Dodge Durango had won. And i think it looks almost as good as this in R/T trim.
LandRovin 5pts They make some of the most incredible diesels that won't see the light of day because of federal regulations. In the UK, for the equivalent of $39,000 you can get an Evoque in a turbo diesel that will get over 45 US miles per gallon. That's flirting near a Prius' numbers. Good luck getting that in a six or eight cylinder engine. If you'd like to see those in the US, write your congressperson.Whoever said it looks like an Isuzu Axiom is an idiot.The approach/departure angles are different because the coupe and four door variants have different body kits on them.Why should the Wrangler win? It hasn't changed for about 60 years. I love the Defender for the same reasons most of you love the Wrangler, but I'm not going to argue that it should win SUV of the year. Also, the Evoque was not designed by Ford. And the best parts of the Explorer (namely the terrain management system) were designed by Land Rover. They kept the technology because they paid for it. Get your facts straight.
LandRovin 5pts Are you all serious? Yes, it is priced $20,000 more than some of the others in this category. It's a *luxury* truck. Jeep and Mini are not luxury brands. For its direct competition, a starting price of around $44,000 is reasonable, especially given its standard equipment. After selling them for years, I cannot tell you how many times a prospective BMW or Mercedes customer have tried to say how they can get an X5 or ML for thousands cheaper. Look at the options list, and by the time you add their add-ons to Land Rover's standard equipment, it's a bargain.Yes, we're in a depressed economy. What in the heck does that have to do with the design, function, or qualities of any SUV? Being the SUV of the year doesn't mean that everyone can afford it, and it never has been a deciding factor (in any point in time).It has a turbocharged 4 cylinder engine because it has to. Land Rover doesn't have other coupes or sedans to hedge its CO2 emissions or fuel economy ratings against like other automakers. They make SUVs.
MITSUMAN1 5pts OK! MOTORTREND IS PICKING THIS AS THE SUV OF THE YEAR WELL I WOULD HAVE TO DISAGREE ITS WAY OVERPRICED FOR A 4CYL, REMEMBER RECESSION THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FACTOR WHEN PICKING THE FAVORITE. NOT EVERYBODY CAN GO OUT AND BUY THIS, THERE ARE PEOPLE IN AMERICA WITHOUT JOBS, NO HOMES AND YOU PICK A 40K VEHICLE AS THE WINNER? (FAIL AND NOT VERY PRACTICAL)
lasvegascolonel 5pts Motor Trend has always liked Fords, but since they couldn't nominate the Explorer in good conscience, they picked a look alike, designed when Ford owned the company. I agree with the others that if Motor Trend was truly objective, the best Wrangler ever (the current 2012) should have won. It is the quintessential American SUV, since 1941.
Ajohn 5pts Ok,I like this. But tell me I am seeing things. Remember Isuzu's SUV based on the Rodeo, what was it called? oh yeah, Axiom, right! Now lets go back for a minute. This LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER, for all it's hype is exactly the same design. Add a different name, new Technology and ask $53k for it! whow! and people will buy it, with an attitude like " see me
broncobri79 5pts Wow this is predictable. As I watched the video previewing the SUV of the year award I knew that this award was going to go to either the Mercedes Benz M-Class or the Range Rover Evoque. Why? Any manufacturer can add thousands of dollars on the MSRP of a vehicle and make it a great automobile. The base price on the Evoque is roughly $20k more than the base price of any other vehicle in its compact SUV segment. Furthermore the Evoque is touted as an efficient vehicle targeted at tackling high fuel prices with its 4-cylinder. Really? The fuel economy of the Evoque was right in line with the rest of the field outside of the Mini Countrymen, and the manufacturer suggests premium gasoline. So where is the big fuel savings? Not coincidentally, the horsepower and torque ratings are well below any other competitors' other than the Mini.I guess this SUV is probably exactly what it is intended for as one other person commented on here. It is basically another piece of bling for a doctor or lawyer to put on.
camaro52391 5pts shouldn't the wrangler win every year?also, if the durango had a better transmission it would give any suv a run for its money
languedoctor 5pts While I understand all the comments about how this thing will only go off-road if its lessee has too many cosmos at happy hour, I see MT's logic. They're giving an award for a vehicle that moves the "SUV" market forward in some significant way, and as we all know, the SUV market is a new and different animal than the old sport utility vehicle market.I worked at a VW dealership to save up some money for grad school, right about the time that the Touareg made its debut. I don't know about subsequent refreshes, but the original was actually quite capable off road. VW splurged on reasonably extensive, specialized training to help a sales staff that was accustomed to peddling Jettas communicate effectively with offroad enthusiasts. I sold a *lot* of them, and you know what? Among all those buyers, not one single cr*p was given about offroad ability. I was left thinking how dumb VW was for wasting money on unwanted features, and missing the coveted $30k base price. The Evoque looks like a bullseye by comparison
92Vectra1.6i 5pts Garbage. An overweight and overpriced status symbol with little true off road ability,undetermined long term reliability prospects and a Ford 4 cylinder where a German or Asian V6 should be ?? No thanks. I knew the fix was in when I read all the negative comments on the Durango over the weekend. I personally would have gone with the Wrangler, since I think it is the ultimate in livable off road vehicles and represents a huge step forward for Jeep !!
bestill 5pts It's definitely a good looking vehicle but styling alone shouldn't win SUV of the year. $50K seems like alot to pay for a gussied up Ford Escape.
0021196 5pts The Grand Cherokee debuted before the Durango and was one of 2011 contenders.Although I understand better why the Cayenne won last year, I agree that the Jeep and especially the QX56 were very competitive proposals.If Value was assessed in a similar manner, the Cayenne would need many thousands to provide the equipment offered by the QX and Jeep.But I still believe that mechanics (efficiency) and technology should be more relevant than the other factors. That's why I say that the cayenne is a good winner. It's really challenging to make such big SUV behave like that (on and off road, accelerating, braking and turning while keeping decent composure)I believe Motortrend wouldn't have awarded the Evoque if it was a last year's contender (Best case scenario it would be 4th)
0021196 5pts I had a chance to see both the MB and the Evoque during the IAA in Frankfurt and the interior quality is not comparable. Actually places like the arm rest console were below average.Regarding seats, the M is much better than the Evoque. Even without leather. Here in Europe the Evoque would be comparable to a X1 or Q3 (actually Auto Bild published a comparison test between the three and the Evoque was third). They tested the diesel engine though.
Specter88 5pts I didn't like it at first, and when I think SUV, I think bigger vehicle, but I had the chance to go for a test drive in one. Comfortable yes, peppy yes, roomy only if your petite. Overall, I was taken back and impressed with it. A lot of thought went into this vehicle. Of course if you know anything about marketing, this vehicle is pretty much designed for females (minus the dynamic package). The price is about right because you get many standard features. Face it, MB cars don't even give you real leather unless you pay for it. As for demand, every one in the NY area is sold already and I'm sure they will continue to sell in all the big cities.
bchite 5pts I'm just curious as to why the Jeep Grand Cherokee wasn't included? Didn't it come out the same time as the Durango? And I just can't help but think it fits the mold of SUV better than many of the CUV's in this test...
0021196 5pts I don't completely agree your verdict.The Evoque is surely a good looking car and it represents a huge improvement over the older Range / Land Rovers.When drivers and consumers think about engineering in the auto world what are they looking for? I believe we all want more performance with less gas (compare with the much bigger and heavier German proposals), better ride and practicality and better infotainment systems.I don't think the Evoque is a breakthrough in these areas.And despite the standard equipment, let's not say that it offers good value when it costs more than the X3 with 300hp and only 5k less than M class. And when you start factoring depreciation, maintenance and repair costs and fuel consumption you will realize that the car is not a good value preposition.
noplans 5pts To take exception with some of the posts, I don't consider a Wrangler to be an SUV. It's unique, and especially misses any conceivable definition of "utility" (although the 4 door Unlimited model comes a bit closer). The Evoque is an SUV, a fashion statement for lawyers and secretaries who want to impress their neighbors without getting dirty.
impalastreetracer17 5pts SUV of the year should be comparison between like a tahoe, expedition, escalade, navigator, Mercedes w.e it called. Sequioa, Aramada... ect. These were all CUVs and a ton of the CUVs were missing
tenderloin 5pts 2lolo While not underestimating many peoples struggle of late, plenty of people have a good job and are making enough money to buy this or other vehicles.Your garbage about wealth and not paying taxes is sophomoric at best. Get out of moms basement, get a job then you will think differently.
impalastreetracer17 5pts okay im slightly mad because: 1. this will sell in small numbers 2. its impractical and does not have much space. 3. its a glorified sport wagon like a bmw x6 4. it comes with a freaken ford 4banger 5. its exspenisve as heck and does not apply to the mass consumerdont get me wrong people will buy this because ive already seen one. it is a cool looking SUV thing, and im all for them to camparisons in this category. MTs comparisons have gotten rather annoying because the jeep is really the only SUV in the entire camparison the rest of crossovers
Kibagami 5pts Am I the only one who think that in order to call something a SUV some off-road requirement should be meet? I don't ask them to have the capability of a Wrangler but I believe a bare minimum should be required.
Alex daOriginal 5pts I always just thougth the Evoque was an oversized sports wagon... interesting though I still think the only real SUV in the comparison should have won.Wrangler all the way!
BlackDynamiteNYC 5pts McraffeyLand Rover isn't using it to turn into a small bus.It's a mid-sized car platform, and Land Rover plays to the platforms strengthsFord just saw it as a way to save money, and slap enough bells and whistles on it so that The People wouldn't notice the design and structure were lacking for their intended purpose. They were right! Ford is making a killing.......BD
mcraffey 5pts Um...is it just me or is it weird that while Motor Trend rightly bashed the Ford Explorer in a fashion I've never quite seen before for it's dated platform and under-performing Ecoboost engine, the Evoque, which shares its platform and engine with the Explorer, is chosen to be their SUV of the year? Come on! If any vehicle deserved it this time around, it was the Durango.
bigcjm 5pts Over priced? Get out of here Grand cherokees, Explorers, Durangos cost 40k in the right trim. Shoot most fully loaded cuv/suv"s cost nearly or more than 40k. This thing is completely within reach of a-lot of people compared to the 70-120k porsche they tested last year.This thing Won for all the right reasons and I think it was a way better choice then another jeep wrangler. Great job Land Rover for making such a nice vehicle. This vehicle is the first I;ve ever seen look so much like its concept.
pmirp1 5pts Well done Motor Trend. Beautiful videos and pictures and summaries. Perfect choice.A beautiful SUV, that simply pushes the needle for the luxury SUV market way up, past X3 and Q5 to become number 1. Inside and out it is picture perfect, the Range Rover Evoque.Honorable mentions to Jeep for all the improvements.Disappointment of the year, Ford Explorer, which is nothing but a minivan in disguise.
2lolo. 5pts Way over price in this economy........... But if your a wealthy and pay no TAX Range Rover is just right for you.............
meyeste 5pts It seems to be Motortrend is forgetting the 'U' is a part of SUV. Where is the utility? I don't believe you can put 1 mountain bike in the back of that thing without removing both wheels, the steering wheel and the seat. Or if you're a camper let's give putting 1 weekend of camping supplies for 4 in the back of that thing, another no starter. These comparo's increasingly about what's new and looks the best. I'll bet you you'll burn twice the gas my Ford truck will burn - by the time you make enough trips to get all the stuff my true 4x4 can haul in one trip. And that estimate includes dragging your cutesy Evoque up the mountain a each time.
TheDodgeMan.on.FB 5pts Really Motortrend really? you have done did pissed me off AGAIN, but, it seems you do that alot. People are going to stop looking to you guys for car buying advice if you keep doing this.
T2MGB18 5pts I wonder how many of these they are hoping to sell. This market segment is pretty small and now we have another vying for a piece of it. I will be curious to see what the transaction prices will be after a year or two being on the market. Nice looking though...
coppermine20 5pts May be its time to start a new award SUV of Year for Everday Joe (SOTYEJ), with Porsche' last year and Land Rover this year, the award it becoming a fairy tale.
cayenne82 5pts gorgeous! good pic, actually I think the Cajun will have a tough start in the segment!
IBx1 5pts Alright, I'd definitely say this is the best looking SUV out there right now, and I really really like the 2-door version, but with just a 4-cyl and no manual transmission, I'd still say the Jeep is a better *SUV*. This is more of a car, but it's a very beautiful one.I really like the snow and water pictures, by the way.
BlackDynamiteNYC 5pts One comparison they actually did competently!They picked the most desirable new SUV of the year, and it can perform like a star, on or off-road.Just don't compare it for value vs. a mainstream compact SUVBD

BRIDPORT - School has been been canceled for the rest of the week in Bridport after about 80 of the 130 students and staff either called in or went home sick.
The Vermont Health Department is investigating after the illnesses were reported Wednesday at the Bridport Central School. The district canceled school on Thursday and Friday while the building is sanitized.
Symptoms included diarrhea and vomiting and could be caused by the Norovirus, also known as stomach flu, infectious disease epidemiologist Bradley Tompkins told WCAX-TV (http://bit.ly/XRpb6r ) reported.
"This is certainly the environment where Norovirus can easily spread where there are children and a lot of touching of objects," Tompkins said.
Corey Pratt, owner of Pratt's Store, near the the preschool-through-sixth-grade school, said his wife and 11-year-old daughter were sick.
"To have that many in such a short period of time is scary and hopefully they can figure out what the problem is," he said.
The Health Department was testing samples from those who were sick to determine if Norovirus was the cause.

Don Julio Blanco Tequila
Review: Don Julio Blanco tequila (83.5/100)
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on August 16, 2011
Don Julio is a 100% Blue Weber Agave Tequila made from agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. As a highland tequila,we can expect the Don Julio to exhibit strong fruity citrus notes and to have a little hot pepper in the finish. The company was established by Don Julio González, who apparently began to examine the prospect of making his own Tequila in 1942. He established his distillery called, La Primavera, and spent nearly forty years refining his Tequila into the spirit which now bears his name.
I first encountered Don Julio Blanco at the May 5 (Cinco de Mayo) Tequila Tasting at Aligra Wine and Spirits in Edmonton. I enjoyed the crispness of the spirit at the tasting, and I decided I should review this tequila here on my website. A good friend of mine poured off a 200 ml sample for me, and this is the result of my labour.
In the Bottle 4.5/5
To the left is a photo of Don Julio Blanco. I really like the distinctive bottle with its light blue colour. I like the labeling which is attractive, and I like that the bottle is sealed with a very nice high density cork which gives me that nice satisfying 'pop' when I open it.
In the Glass 8/10
When I tilt my glass and gave it a swirl, I saw only a light oily sheen which disappears over time rather than releases legs. Soft peppery notes come forward out of the glass, followed by lemon and lime citrus juices. Muted fruity agave and a hint of vanilla waft into the air as well providing just a little more softness. I allowed the glass to decant and the aroma did not change significantly. I was hoping the agave notes would grow in the glass, but the scent remained quite mellow.
In the Mouth 50/60
The tequila has a smooth presence in the mouth with a 'soft' agave flavour and warm citrus. I use the term 'soft' agave to try to give an indication that the typically earthy and punky flavour of agave is softened in this tequila to the point where I cannot really call it punky or earthy anymore. It resembles a taste which sits somewhere between the flavours of cucumber and squash, but this has a more herbaceous quality than either. Citrus flavours follow reminiscent of lemon-lime and perhaps a touch of passion fruit. As you sip on the Don Julio, the citrus begins to turn peppery in the mouth with flavours of citrus zest and scattered white pepper. This is a nice, but I find myself wanting a little more depth to the agave experience.
I mixed a nice Traditional Margarita (see recipe below), and I was very pleased at how the Lime, Triple Sec, and Tequila meshed together in the cocktail. I also mixed my cocktail creation, Metro Mexico, and the suitability of Don Julio for cocktails was confirmed.
In the Throat 12/15
Warm agave and citrus give way to hotter citrus zest and white pepper in a finish which is crisp and smooth. My palate feels cleansed; but again, I was hoping for more depth and perhaps a little more length to be imparted to the agave flavours.
The Afterburn 8.5/10
At the Tequila tasting where I was introduced to Don Julio Blanco, it was my favourite of the Blanco Tequilas that I tried that day. However, when I sampled the Tequila at home in isolation from the other spirits, it seemed thinner and lacked the depth that I remembered at the tasting. I realize now that at the tasting event the previously sampled Tequila (which in this case was Cabo Wabo Blanco) had left enough rich agave flavours on my palate that it added much-needed depth to the taste Don Julio. In isolation, that depth just isn't there. Don Julio is a nice Tequila, but I suspect the experienced agave spirit aficionado will prefer a richer, fuller, taste profile with more evolution in the agave flavour.
You may read some of my other Tequila Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Suggested Recipe
You will notice that this recipe includes two optional elements, a teaspoon of simple syrup, and a splash of soda. I often add both elements especially if I have friends over who do not consume tequila regularly. The touch of sweetness and the touch of soda often makes the taste Margarita cocktail more suitable to a larger variety of palates.
The Margarita Cocktail (A Traditional Recipe)
1 1/2 oz Blanco 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 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
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)

Shop for a new lawn mower and you'll soon discover there is no shortage of options. The best lawn mowers are easy to handle, safe to use and ready to mow without much hassle. They should keep your grounds looking their best by bagging clippings, discharging them to the side or mulching them into fine pieces.
Lawn mowers are powered by gas, electricity (some with electric cords, some with batteries). In general, gas-powered lawn mowers can power through tough vegetation better than electric mowers. Some reviews also say they impart the best finish or final appearance on a lawn. There are also manual reel mowers that are popular choices for the environmentally aware and with people who like to get their exercise points in while working in the yard.
To find the best lawn mower, start by narrowing down what type of lawn mower best suits your needs, budget and property. A major factor to keep in mind is reliability: Brands that rate highly for dependability tend to have fewer warranty and service issues. Taking your lawn mower in for repairs is a hassle, and owners frequently say authorized repair shops aren't conveniently located.
Typically the most expensive type of lawn mower, self-propelled models do the pushing for you. Less expensive models often have set speeds, while pricier models use an automatic transmission and speed levers to accelerate and slow down. Top mowers can travel up to 4 mph and have user-friendly controls within easy reach. Self-propelled mowers come in both gas and electric models, and tend to be a bit more expensive than push mowers.
If you want to spend less on a lawn mower and don't mind putting in a little extra mowing effort, consider a push mower. Other than the transmission, there is very little difference between each brand's push models and self-propelled mowers. Look for a model with large wheels and ball bearings, which improve mobility.
Corded electric lawn mowers are the most affordable kind of powered mower to use and maintain, experts say. Their motors don't require oil, spark plugs or batteries, and professionals estimate the electricity required to use them is much less expensive than gas.
Many owners say handling the extension cord on a corded mower is far easier than dealing with filling and maintaining a gas model. This is the lightest type of mower, making it a good alternative for those who lack the strength to pull the rip-cord on a gas model. Electric mowers aren't as powerful as gas lawn mowers, and their 100-foot extension cords keep you tethered to an outlet. They are best for small yards without unruly patches of tall grass or weeds.
Cordless lawn mowers give you more freedom than corded lawn mowers and are often more powerful. However, they are also best for lawns of no more than half an acre because battery run time is limited to about an hour. Cordless lawn mowers use a lead-acid battery that typically lasts two to three years; good battery maintenance is key to extending its life. Cordless mowers are heavier than their corded relatives and are available with just as many features as gas mowers.
Using a spinning reel to cut grass, manual reel mowers are operated by simply pushing them. These mowers offer more of an aerobic workout -- considered an advantage by many. Reel mowers are quiet, low-maintenance and save you money on repairs and servicing.
Because they mow slower, require more work and their blades aren't strong enough for twigs or unruly grass, experts advise using a reel mower on weed-free properties smaller than half an acre. Plan on cutting about twice a week, on average, to keep grass from getting too high to mow. Reel mowers are not only increasing in popularity, but according to expert tests, they are improving in performance.
ConsumerSearch editors consulted expert reviews and comparison tests along with owner feedback to select the best lawn mowers of each type. We consider reliability, handling, noise and safety, but factor in user comments to determine long-term durability as well.
This report covers walk-behind lawn mowers. We also have separate reports that cover lawn tractors, robotic lawn mowers and string trimmers.
