By Javier Solana On December 17, 2010, Mohamed Bouazizi set himself alight in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia. Within weeks, the popular revolt triggered by Bouazizi's act had spread far beyond Tunisia, engulfing much of the Arab world. In Europe, Ukraine and other troubled countries, such as Bosnia, began their long and still incomplete transitions to democracy a quarter-century ago. The Arab world, by contrast, has logged a mere three years of transition – the blink of an eye in historical terms. Still, there have already been significant changes, and the region is advancing – though the destination remains unknown. As in other parts of the world, Arab countries need time to attain the democracy and pluralism their peoples seek. They will achieve their goals – but not in a mere three years. In fact, events in today's Middle East continue to be shaped by the radical changes brought about after World War I. Previously, most Arabs had been grouped together under various caliphates. After the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire in 1923, two nation-states (Iran and Turkey) emerged, while the Arabs were distributed among 22 new countries, generally under British or French colonial domination. Once the colonies had achieved independence – Saudi Arabia, today a Sunni regional power, was created in 1932 – a new attempt was made to unite the Arab nation by means of the political Islam that emerged in the 1920's in response to the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate. The phenomenon took many forms, including the Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928. At the same time, efforts at nation-building along secular lines were reflected in Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser's pan-Arabism and the Syrian Baath Party, resulting in the establishment of the United Arab Republic, a union between Egypt and Syria that lasted from 1958 to 1961. A half-century later, the simultaneous revolts in the Arab world were the result of neither political tendency, instead reflecting broad popular rejection of dysfunctional and corrupt authoritarian governments. But, with Syria immersed in a brutal civil war that has claimed more than 130,000 lives already, Libya on the verge of collapse, and Egypt returning power to the army and proscribing the Muslim Brotherhood, Tunisia has been the only success. Tunisia adopted its new constitution on January 27, thus clearing the way for what will be the most secular and fairest elections in any of the region's countries. The new constitution is the most modern in the Arab world, the fruit of a non-violent transition. With a small, well-educated population, Tunisia has become the exception. Egypt's government, by banning the Muslim Brotherhood, has taken the country backward since the military coup that overthrew President Mohamed Morsi last July. The Egyptian process, however, should not be considered merely a return to the pre-2011 status quo; rather, developments constitute what could be characterized as an ascending spiral that, while turning back on itself, nevertheless advances. The generational split within Egypt is evident: social mobilization has given young Egyptians valuable political experience, and this represents a key difference from the three decades of former President Hosni Mubarak's rule. The same could be said of Syria, though the spiral there has been an unremittingly downward one, and any reversal remains blocked, particularly since the failure of the second round of peace negotiations in Geneva. More generally, lack of pluralism and the inability to share power are holding back the transitions. With the exception of Tunisia, this can be seen to varying degrees in all of the affected countries. In Egypt, both the army – whether under Mubarak or Field Marshal Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi – and the Islamists have demonstrated that they want all power for themselves. Political pluralism cannot be imposed. Societies must demand it and build the lasting institutions needed to preserve it. This process can take many years, making it crucial not to lose historical perspective. The situation in each country was different when the revolts began. Countries with homogenous societies, such as Tunisia, have suffered only minimal violence, unlike socially heterogonous countries, such as Syria. Nor are there any consolidated regional structures to which the transition countries can adhere; and there are few local models – with the exception of Turkey, for example – that can be used to help democracy and pluralism take root. Indeed, the context in which these transitions were set in motion was – and remains –unfavorable compared to those taking place in Europe. Unlike the Arab countries, Eastern Europe and the Balkans benefited from a common starting point and a common path forward: all are part of a continent that has taken historic steps toward integration since World War II. That has given them a common destination as well, both politically (accession to the European Union) and in terms of their security (through NATO). But the situations in Bosnia and Ukraine are still very fluid. Twenty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and 23 years after the disintegration of Yugoslavia, the post-communist transition is still incomplete. We cannot expect results in the Middle East in three years that have not been achieved in Europe in a quarter-century. Despite the backsliding in Egypt and the intolerable violence in Syria, the region is evolving at its own pace in a complex, changing, and unstable geopolitical context. A patient strategy and an unwavering dedication to pluralism are fundamental, whether in Kyiv or Cairo.

We are sure that you have seen the building. But do you know what the different colors on the building's flickering flame mean? The flame, on the top of the building, holds the key to tomorrow's weather and does a pretty good job with predictions. The next time you are downtown, look up at the Wisconsin Gas flame and use the following poem to formulate your forecast for the next day:
When the flame is red, it's warm weather ahead.
When the flame is gold, watch out for cold. When the flame is blue, there's no change in view.
Where there's agitation (aka flashing), expect precipitation.

Make it :: Spring Crowns and Wreaths
It is yard clean-up time around these parts! This weekend, we have grand plans to rake, pull, and trim in order to make room for all of the new growth that is coming our way.
Hook your kids into helping with the promise of beautiful decorations. Encourage them to collect vines, twigs, long grasses, and dried stalks –all leftover from last autumn– to use as materials for crowns and wreaths.
They can twist, tie, wrap, and shape until the vines and grasses become circular and perfect for hanging or wearing.
Happy day!

Cirque du Soleil performer!
I'm lucky enough to get to do what I love for a living, and apart from that being "circus" I'm pretty normal!
I love reading (any kind of trash will do, I love sci-fi/fantasy but will also read anything put in front of me, it's my version of TV).
I love good coffee, I adore better tea, and am damn fond of cooking and eating good food - "anything that's stopped crawling" is how I phrase it, which basically means I love trying new foods and cuisines.
It doesn't sound as exciting as it could, but it keeps me happy =)
Oh, and I used to be a nuclear engineer.

Coat of arms of Finland
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2008) |
Coat of arms of Finland Suomen vaakuna Finlands riksvapen |
Details | |
Armiger | Republic of Finland |
Adopted | First documented in the 1580s. Current version official since 1978. |
Escutcheon | Gules, semy of roses argent, a lion rampant crowned Or trampling a sabre in base proper, his dexter foreleg in the form of a man's arm vambraced and embowed argent garnished Or bearing aloft a sword proper. |
The coat of arms of Finland is a crowned lion on a red field, the right foreleg replaced with an armoured hand brandishing a sword, trampling on a sabre with the hindpaws. The coat of arms was originally created around the year 1580.
The lion in Nordic heraldry[edit]
The heraldic lion is quite common in Western Europe, and several European countries incorporate it into their national coats of arms. In Nordic heraldry, the lion is first found in the coat of arms of Denmark in the later part of the 12th century.
Starting in the 12th century, the territory of today's Finland was gradually incorporated into the Swedish kingdom, and this coincided with the period when coats of arms first came into use in northern Europe. The first known use of the lion in Sweden was on the royal seals of Erik Knutsson (died 1216) and Erik Eriksson (1216–50), who used two and three lions on their seal, respectively. The first king of the Folkunga family, Valdemar Birgersson (1239–1302), also used 3 lions on his seal (Figure 2).
Finland as a duchy[edit]
Bengt Birgersson, the first Duke of Finland (1254–91, Duke from 1284 until 1291), and Valdemar Magnusson, the second Duke (died 1318, Duke of Finland from 1302 until 1317), both used the later Folkunga coat of arms, which was a crowned lion rampant with three bends sinister, the main difference being that Valdemar's arms had the field strewn with hearts (Figure 3). This version of the arms was quite similar to the modern coat of arms of Finland, but the lion did not yet brandish any weapon.
When John III assumed the title of "Grand Duke of Finland and Karelia", shortened to Grand Duke of Finland in 1577 (or soon thereafter), the lion became closely associated with Finland through the grand-ducal coats of arms (Figure 5). The grand-ducal coat of arms is thought to have resulted out of a combination of the Göta lion (originating from the Folkunga lion) and the arms of Karelia (Figure 6). The result was that the lion brandishes one weapon and treads on another.
The best-known version of the grand-ducal coat of arms is found on the tomb of Gustavus I (1523–60) in the Uppsala cathedral (Figure 5). It has been suggested that either Duke John himself, or his brother Eric XIV, was leading the design work on the heraldic signs on the tomb. Neither statement can be confirmed, but it is known that Eric XIV showed an interest in heraldry. The monument was commissioned from Guillaume Boyen (Willem Boy), a Flemish architect and sculptor who had worked in Sweden. He started on the task in Antwerp in 1562, completing it 10 years later; however, the tomb was not in place in Uppsala until the early 1580s, and the finishing work lasted until 1591. In addition to the royal arms of Sweden and those of Finland, the arms of the 11 provinces are depicted. From Finland they include North and South Finland, as well as Tavastia and Karelia. The work of Willem Boy is of exceptional quality, which is perhaps explained by the fact that lions were a dominant feature in the heraldry of Flanders, and he would therefore have had a great deal of exposure to it before receiving the commission for the tomb of Gustavus I.
The earliest known blazon from this period states that the arms of Finland represents A crowned lion of gold holding a sword in the right forepaw and trampling with both hindpaws on a Russian sabre (ryssesabel), surrounded by nine silver roses in a red field, over the shield a golden crown with a red cap.
As both King Gustavus I and his son, John III, were involved in lengthy wars with Russia, it should come as no surprise this was a central element in the arms of both the Grand Duchy of Finland, and in that in the coat of arms of the Finnish province of Karelia, which symbolizes the struggle between East and West.
The purpose of the nine roses remains unknown, but are now mostly considered to be decorative only. They have sometimes been claimed to represent the nine historical provinces of Finland, but this hypothesis has not found support among prominent scholars.[1] The number of towns in the nominal "Grand Duchy of Finland and Karelia" in 1580 were also nine,[2] but no known historical research provides support for a link between the number of roses and the number of towns in Finland in 1580.
Swedish era[edit]
During the following centuries, the arms of Finland were to appear in different versions of varying artistic quality, and it was only in the late 19th century when the Uppsala lion was again taken into use as the prototype for the coat of arms of Finland.
The lion experienced several changes during the 17th century. In the funeral banner of Charles X Gustavus (in 1660) it can be seen treading on the sabre with all three free paws; in drawings by Elias Brenner (in the Suecia antique et hodierna by Erik Dahlberg, printed in 1716), it is pictured with a double tail (queue fourchée) and with an almost walking posture.
Russian era[edit]
After Finland had been ceded to Russia (as a consequence of the Swedish–Russian war of 1808–1809), Elias Brenner's version of the lion was chosen by the authorities as the model for the new coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Finland in the Russian Empire. The blazon in the decree of 26 October 1809 states: The shield has a red field, strewn with roses of silver, on which a golden lion with a crown of gold, standing on a silver saber, which it grasps with the left forepaw while holding in the right forepaw an upright sword. Obviously, any interpretation of the lion as trampling on a Russian sabre had been lost at this point in time.
During the reform of the Russian official heraldry in 1857, the lion was again changed on the initiative of baron Bernhard Karl von Köhne. The blazon states: On a red field strewn with silver roses a crowned lion of gold, holding in the right forepaw an upright sword and in the left one a curved sword on which it rests with the right hindpaw. The main changes were that the lion had started to resemble a dog rather than a lion, and the crown on top of the shield had been changed to an arched crown without a cap, and with a small Russian eagle on the rim. The sword in the right forepaw had shrunk in size, to the point of resembling a dagger rather than a sword (Figure 8).
During the years when the Russian emperors attempted russification of Finland (1899–1905 and 1908–17), the use of the arms of Finland increased significantly, and eventually became popular in the broader population.
The director of the Finnish National Archives, Karl August Bomansson (1827–1906) made the first significant study on the arms of Finland in modern times. He restored the appearance of the arms in 1886, so that it closely resembled the Uppsala lion. However, there was a slight deviation on how the lion tramples on the saber, and the arched crown with the imperial eagle in the von Köhne version was replaced with a crown similar to that of a German princely crown. This version of the arms was subsequently used in the early years of Finnish independence.
Early independence[edit]
During the 1920s and 1930s, the national arms became the subject of some controversy, and the debate centered on whether the lion should be replaced with a bear, which had an important place in the national folklore. Already in 1557, the bear had emerged as the emblem of Finnia Septentrionalis ("North Finland", at the time roughly the same as Satakunta and northern Finland Proper) and continues to be used as the coat of arms of Satakunta. However, outside Finland, the bear was usually regarded as a symbol of Russia. The debate was however not settled, and throughout most of the 20th century, versions of the arms were used that closely adhered to the Uppsala lion.
In 1936, a state committee suggested a compromise that Finland should have a "greater" and a "smaller" coat of arms. The greater coat of arms was proposed to have two bears as supporters of the arms, with a base of spruce twigs and with the motto vapaa, vankka, vakaa ("free, firm, steadfast"). This would have given the bear a place in the national heraldry, but the design was never confirmed, nor was this version of the arms taken into use.[3]
The blazon of the national coat of arms was finally settled in 1978, when the law of 26 May 1978 (381/78) described the coat of arms as follows: On a red field, a crowned lion, the right forepaw replaced with an armoured hand brandishing a sword, trampling on a saber with the hindpaws, the lion, crowned and armed, the weapons hilted and the armour garnished gold, the blades and the armour silver, the field strewn with nine roses of silver.[4] (This is, however, a direct translation from Finnish; the heraldic blazon would be Gules, a lion crowned Or rampant striking with a sword Argent on his armoured dexter arm, trampling on a sabre Argent; surmounted with nine roses Argent)
The coat of arms appears on the Finnish state flag. The Finnish lion is also used in a wide variety of emblems of different state authorities, often modified to depict the duties of the unit or the authority. On the other hand, the Finnish municipalities and regions usually use heraldic motifs drawn from elsewhere, leaving the lion for state use (exceptions exist, such as the Coat of arms of Jakobstad). Finnish lion also appears as armed force's generals' rank insignia and in navy as part of officer's rank insignia.

Yes, that is a tongue-in-cheek assessment of the situation, based on this Bloomberg story that makes a bit of a to-do about how IBM is making use of its Watson super computer since its public debut as a champion competitor on the television game show Jeopardy.
Apparently, Watson, the sharp young computer that it is, now has a job on Wall Street.
And if you remember watching those Jeopardy episodes, and recall wondering, "why would IBM spend so much time and effort building a computer just to play Jeopardy," in reality, the company wasn't.
IBM was building a super computer that could quickly absorb phenomenal amounts of information (it can read and comprehend 200 million pages of information in just three seconds), but do so in a way that catches ordinary language and the nuances of human speech.
IBM has already used Watson in analyzing data for health care companies such as WellPoint and Seton Health Family in the United States.
And now, IBM has begun signing up banking clients for cloud-based personal banking applications starting with Citigroup. Hence the joke that Watson now has a job on Wall Street.
Banking clients expect that the same faculties that made Watson so good at answering trivia questions will make it adept at evaluating reams of customer data and figure out customer needs for its digital banking services.
IBM also expects Watson to be well compensated… er, valuable to the company. The company's goal is to increase its revenue from such computing services by $16 billion a year by 2015, and analysts are forecasting that Watson alone could account for $2.65 billion of that.
IBM's Watson gets a job?

Irish Moss-for newbies
Irish Moss is fantastic. I ordered some after seeing it appear in a few recipes. Once I got it, it looked a little daunting, I put it in the pantry and let it sit there. Today I decided to tackle it. I made the most delicious Almond Joy ice cream. It was actually fairly easy. I will post an official recipe once I have the measurements down. Today, I just put stuff in and mixed until I had what I wanted. For those of you that are comfortable with a pinch of this and a handful of that, here goes, I highly recommend it!
1. Soak a handful of moss, I would guess it was about 1/2 c. I soaked for about 5 hours, rinsing whenever I thought about it.
2. Blend with enough water to keep it moving until smooth, white and creamy.
3. Add 2 T. coconut butter (Artisana, not coconut oil), 2 heaping T. raw cacao powder, drizzle of vanilla, pinch of salt, 1.4 c. or so sweetner (I used date sugar) blend until smooth, taste and adjust flavors. I think I added a little agave at this point. It should be like a thin pudding.
4. Mix in a couple of tablespoons of dried shredded coconut, and a couple of tablespoons of chopped (I put them in a ziploc and rolled over them with the rolling pin) and then put it in the ice cream freezer. If you don't have an ice cream freezer, I think it would make a great smoothie. I would blend in a little ice before adding the coconut and almonds.
I can't wait to try other flavors. I really couldn't believe that it could be so good, when I read other recipes. It has no flavor and just creates body. I think you could easily decrease the water and make a fantastic pudding.
Irish Moss is my new friend!
p.s in the package it doesn't look very user friendly. It looks brown and sandy and little funky. However, once you get it out of the package and rinse it, it's pretty easy to work with. It looks like branches of seaweed, go figure. It pretty much stays in big branch like pieces, making it easy to use, but hard to imagine it will make ice cream.

Species-rich plant communities are prized repositories of biodiversity and a dwindling resource, but how the large numbers of species that characterize such communities are able to coexist is poorly understood. Resource-based competition theory predicts that stable coexistence between species depends on each being a superior competitor in its own niche(1). The theoretical problem is that plants all require the same resources and acquire them in a very limited variety of ways, so observed niche overlaps are high(2,3) and exclusion of all but the best competitor is the predicted result. This problem, central to community ecology, has elicited a variety of theoretical solutions(4-7), several of which invoke some degree of niche separation in time or space(8,9). The signature of niche separation in the field is to be found in community structure, which should indicate (i) smaller than expected niche overlaps on relevant niche axes and (ii) a trade-off between species' resource use on orthogonal axes. Here we provide evidence for the existence of both these conditions in a species-rich plant community.

Rebel gazillionaire Richard Branson, owner of Virgin airlines, pledged yesterday to invest all profits over the next 10 years from his airline and train businesses to fight global warming. That projects to be about $3 billion.
"Our generation has inherited an incredibly beautiful world from our parents and they from their parents," Branson said yesterday, according to the Washington Post (free registration). "We must not be the generation responsible for irreversibly damaging the environment. We must hand it over to our children in as near pristine a condition as we were lent it from our parents."
Part of the plan to combat global warming is the development of alternative fuels. Branson will look to develop "renewable energy" through a unit called Virgin Fuels. "We must rapidly wean ourselves off our dependence on coal and fossil fuels," he said, and the transportation industry "must be at the forefront of developing environmentally friendly business strategies."
Here, here!
UPDATE March 18, 2009: Branson hasn't been resting on his laurels since this announcement was made. He offered $25 million to anyone who can come up with a good way of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, while Virgin Atlantic tested biofuels on a flight.
Of course, you can't talk about Richard Branson without mentioning some wacky promotional stunt. He recently showed up in drag to promote Virgin America's new service from Boston.

Some seriously sad news: Roberts Blossom – the character actor best known for playing the wrongly-accused South Bend Shovel Slayer, a.k.a. "Old Man Marley," in Home Alone – has passed away at the age of 87. The L.A. Times reports that Blossom died of natural causes in a nursing home in Santa Monica.
While Blossom, a three-time Obie Award winner, had an illustrious career on stage and screen that spanned 40 years (he was featured in films like Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Always, Christine, and the cult horror movie Deranged, and appeared in TV shows such as Moonlighting, Northern Exposure, and Chicago Hope) he'll best be remembered by younger folk everywhere as the neighbor who saves Macaulay Culkin's trouble-making Kevin McCallister from being murdered by the Wet Bandits. (Oh, if only he'd been there when Thomas Jay stumbled upon that beehive… )
Sure, Macaulay Culkin became the biggest star at the time in the 1990 classic, but it was "Old Man" Marley that taught him – and us – valuable lessons like not judging a book by its cover and believing everything you hear. (The rumor that the salt he spread up and down "the most boring street in the whole United States of America" turned to bodies into mummies was most certainly not true.)
I don't know about you, PopWatchers, but Home Alone is a staple for me each holiday season, not to mention one of my all-time favorite movies, period. So I'm sure I'll get choked up even more than usual this year during that final scene in which we find out Marley has patched things up with his estranged family. When Marley sends that final, sweet wave to Kevin, Home Alone fans will be saying goodbye to an old, reliable friend, too.
Post your favorite moment from the actor below, PopWatchers.

Aldila has announced the launch of their new VooDoo graphite shaft featuring S-core Technology, to be included in several major manufacturer's club introductions this fall. In addition, shipments will begin in October to leading club builders and clubmaking suppliers, including Golfsmith.
What sets the VooDoo apart from other shafts is its patent-pending S-core (stabilized core) Technology, designed to increase distance and provide outstanding accuracy with each swing. The real magic of the VooDoo is the high-modulus carbon stabilization rib running the length of the shaft.
Our S-core Technology dramatically stabilizes the shaft's cross section through the use of an internal carbon-fiber rib system, said John Oldenburg, Aldila's Vice President of Engineering. The innovative rib structure increases hoop strength/stiffness so much that it is 80 percent greater than conventional graphite, and up to 60 percent greater than competitors' attempts at cross-sectional stabilization.
According to Oldenburg, the increased stability allows the VooDoo to better resist shaft ovaling and deformation during the swing, which maximizes energy transfer to the ball and yields unparalleled distance and accuracy. And because the shaft's symmetry is maintained throughout the swing, it loads and unloads more consistently, enabling you to more reliably deliver the clubhead to the ball with every stroke.
As a result, more energy is stored in pure bending and released to the ball at impact…
Having already scored wins in PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour and European PGA Tour events, the new shaft is turning heads and changing habits. Since the VooDoos introduction on Tour, players have provided us with amazing feedback, said Mike Rossi, Aldila's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. After trying the VooDoo, both Stuart Appleby and Boo Weekley changed all their woods to the VooDoo shaft. Although we have only had it out on Tour for a short time, the VooDoo has recorded four wins, which is the ultimate validation.

Santa Claus Origin Story is a New Children's Book — How a Boy Became a Legend
BOSTON, Dec. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — "Nicholas Claus – the story of young Santa" is a new novel written by a father and son, Todd Domke and Judah Domke. It is an origin story about a legendary man.
They've launched a website for the book, NicholasClaus.com. At NicholasClaus.com people can read the first of twelve chapters for free.
The book is available at Lulu.com where it's described as "a children's story that parents will enjoy too — a mix of magic, suspense, comedy, romance, and adventure.
"Nick is a poor boy with a generous heart. When a girl named Anna arrives in his forest village, he is smitten. But she is entering high society and discouraged from having anything to do with the lowly woodsman. Nick is steered away from romance by his best friend, Blitzen, a reindeer… and by his guardian, Remoh, an old, blind wizard. Remoh tells Nick about a mystical test that occurs every 77 years, giving someone a chance to gain magical powers.
"Mysterious obstacles thwart Nick and Anna at every turn, including a threat to their lives from a shadowy villain who wants to pass the test for his own glory. Nick and Anna must join together to prevail…but can they do it in time?"
The authors are finalizing a screenplay, "Nicholas Claus." In movie-making, origin stories have been very successful – Batman, James Bond, X-Men, Star Trek… Will Santa be next?
"We had a lot of fun writing this story," said Judah. "My father and I enjoyed surprising each other with comedic dialogue, quirky characters, plot twists… But we also wrote it to be true to the spirit of Christmas – people giving generously. We wanted it to be entertaining for parents too because we hope they'll read it with their children."
ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Todd Domke is Judah's father. He is author of Grounded, a children's novel published by Knopf, and co-author of The Conservative's Dictionary from St. Martin's Press, and Cain & Abel at Work from Broadway Books. He is a PR strategist, ghostwriter, and political analyst. Judah Domke has written for film, television and magazines. He's been an actor and performed stand-up comedy. He has also co-written with his father a book of humorous advice, Psych-Out Golf, due out soon.

One, I never said to ignore wind resistance. Reread and you'll see that. Two, when speaking about mathematic prediction I assumed tumbling. No one ever specified a bullet type, so I went with what I believed to be a general answer. A hollow base bullet- like an SS109 M16 bullet (one I know REALLY well) would most certainly tumble when falling backwards, greatly reducing its rotational velocity (at least in the original vector). My point was that there are far too many variables to predict where the bullet will land and how it will be pointed when it hits. Bullet shape, crosswinds, temperature, altitude, and so on and on make an accurate prediction impossible- a three shot "group" MIGHT cover a three block radius. THAT'S why I said this isn't a calculus problem, but one for statistics. I'm sorry if I came across confusing. Believe it or not, I was trying to keep it relatively simple. As for whether it would be lethal on impact- I wouldn't want to be hit by it.
Anyway, I think we've veered off the original thread (retained lethality after going through a wall) and I'm guilty of helping push it that way. As such... I'll apologize to the OP for helping hijack his post. SORRY.

If I was defending my property this wouldnt be an issue. Firstly, I live in a fully detached 250 year old cottage. If I fired a bullet at a wall in my house, it would probably do damage to the stone work. If I fired a gun at the several wooden doors on my premises it might be a different issue.
Basically. I dont think if I were protecting my home and a bullet went through a door etc it wouldnt be a problem. |

My uncle Phil was sitting in his Brooklyn apartment years ago and the guy in the apartment below had a discharge cleaning his rifle that went through the floor, into the bottom of my uncle's foot, out the top, back into his shin, out the calf, into the back of the thigh, out the top and through a shoulder. He wasn't critically injured (!) suffered no long term effect and never bothered to sue the guy.

I had an AD in my home late last year with a 9mm carbine. It went through the floor of my room, through a heating duct, the ceiling of the room below and lodged in a wall stud in the room below mine. Fortunately I was the only one home at the time, but as a result, I personally do not keep loaded mags in the firearm. They may be with the firearm in the case, but in a seperate pocket.
My dad keeps his pistol with a loaded mag, empty chamber. Thats how i caused my AD, so I dont do it anymore. |

Yes, a bullet that goes through a wall can kill someone on the other side. Here's a recent example:

Two teen age girls were killed at Carowinds outside Charlotte several years ago by some fellows target shooting over a mile away. They ignored several safety rules and laws including the one about not having their automatic rifle licensed.

Now I didnt mean just any bullet. Of course, a rifle is not meant for home use.
This brings back one of my original posts where I asserted the CX4 storm would be the ideal home defense weapon. Usually when I fire off a .40 caliber pistol, I feel as if I am on the deck of the USS New Jersey when a big 16 incher is going off. Lots of flash and bang. However, the .40 coming from a long barrel is much more satsifying. Check out this youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e2d-MznC9M Look at how smooth of a operation this is when cooking off some rounds. Not much kick and jiggle from the long gun. Not much flash and bang as if your firing a civil war musket. |

A number of years ago, a neighbor's 12 year old son got ahold of his .22 rifle on Saturday morning when daddy wasn't home.
The kid fired a .22LR at a bird, in flight. The bullet punched through the siding on the house next to me, and continued through the insulation and inside drywall. It then crossed through the kitchen, went through an inside wall (total of 2 layers of drywall) and finally embedded in the drywall at the far side of the living room. Fortunately, no one was home. |

Let me start by apologizing for reviewing a tobacco that is out of production. It is less than helpful to read about a tobac that is hard - if not impossible - to find. Sort of like when I read reviews of the old Balkan Sobranie (which I smoked). It is nearly painful!
I am currently enjoying a tin of Santa's Mistake that is dated 11/03. So it is the original run. I found the tin - somewhat dusty - in a pipe shop I stopped at during a recent trip. I bought 2 tins (there were 3).
Syrian latakia is so wonderfully different than its cousin from Cyprus. Syrian is far mellower and less smokey. Lightly smokey and complex but not the big smokey hit associated with Cyprian latakia. Now don't get me wrong because I love Cyprian latakia and smoke plenty of it . . . but Syrian is uniquely different. Syrian is gentle and complex whereas Cyprian is full and flavorful.
As for Santa's Mistake - I disagree that it is a "full English blend" as advertised. Instead, I find it very mellow and smooth with not too much of a nicotine hit. Reminds me of a high-quality Balkan without that Turkish influence (does that make any sense at all?).
If you enjoy English or Balkans and run across a tin or 2 of Santa's Mistake you should buy it. It is very tasty and would even appeal to those of you who like real tobacco flavor but are not partial to heavy Latakia.
And the real lesson here is to frequent local pipe shops . . . particularly when traveling. You never know what you might find!!! Plus we all must support our wonderful hobby!

This blend is C&D's version of McClelland's Frog Across the Pond, in my opinion. Both are syrian latakia-laced very mild English/balkans, and both very nice mixtures for those whose tongues are not yet desensitized by husky he-men latakia/perique blends. Wusswords, I know. So not everybody's a fan of Nightcap.
I like Syrian latakia: it's sweeter and less bitter than its Cyprian counterpart, like bacon is to charred steak. Both have their appeals, but the Syrian seems more transparent, allowing other flavors to shine through as well. In this case, it's red Virginias. Very little sweetness here despite them and the cavendish; I like to add a pinch of blending oriental for more breadth and aromaticity.
This blend is an artifact already. You won't find it being coveted like its overhyped cousins from the Pease camp, but it is definitely worth buying at modest prices if found. This may well have been mistakenly blended; it needed just a bit more development. Overall, I think McClelland's Frog is better in terms of richness, availability, value and as a showcase for Syrian. Three stars, nonetheless, I think this will age very nicely.

I bought this blend out of curiosity as well as the fact that Syrian Latakia is in very short supply. I wasn't disappointed. Craig certainly came up with a winner mixing red virginia cavendish and Syrian latakia. The combination of flavors is phenominal. Upon opening the tin, the broken flake looks a lot like Squadron Leader but that's where the similarities end. It lights easily and stays lit. The Syrian latakia is not overwhelming but dances naked with the red virginia cavendish to create an orgy of smokey goodness. Burns extremely clean all the way down.
Get this stuff while you can because when it's gone, it's gone.

12-24-2004 Santa has done well!
Appearance and Tin aroma: Mostly light leaf, some reds, and some of that black shiny Syrian. Smells wonderful, the Syrian leaf aroma very noticable.
Packing and Lighting: Easy, with moisture perfect out of the tin. 2-3 lights max.
Initial Flavor: Syrian Latakia! Yummmm.
Mid-bowl: The red VA cavendish is noticable and adds a nice sweet note to the smoky Syrian leaf.
Bottom of Bowl: A tartness comes out (Perique?), but is not overwhelming. There is also a healthy increase of flavor strength from the Syrian leaf with some of the similar wine notes that Pease's Bohemian Scandal has.
Overall: This is a nice counterpoint to the McClellands "Christmas Cheer" series. Be sure to stow away a tin or two, since the Syrian used in this is gone now. I found a big pipe to be the best way to enjoy this blend. Obviously, this will be a special occasion smoke for me. Well done, C&D.
Rating: 5 out of 5 points, enjoy...

Christmas Eve - 2004 A couple weeks of airing time has transmuted this blend from "nice" to wonderful. It has the smoothness associated with many cornerstone blends (Frog Morton, 965), yet I find it much richer and more satisfying than either of those two. The cavendish in 965, IMO is that blend's downfall into boring predictability. Here it echoes in and out of the slight spice of the Syrian.
A shame that this mishap is a scarcity, as it is frankly one of the best English mixtures I've had. Were it available all the time it would be my mainstay in conjunction with the esteemed Margate - when I wanted something a little more "in your face". I believe the quality and skill outranks any of the Dunhill offerings. As has been noted - a large bowl is the way to go. The smokey musk at the bottom makes this a very pleasant ride with a rewarding finish. I've got my stash, and I'll likely order your share if you neglect this blend. -----
As far as this Elf is concerned, Santa can continue making these mistakes. This is a fantastic - smooth and naturally sweet - blend. There are notes of cigar, cocoa and spice - a nearly perfect winter blend. Gentle on the palate yet satisfying. Harmonized, musky yet inviting and savory. It is an exceptionally high quality set of ingredients blended and aged expertly.
With the low production amount I unfortunately will not be able to smoke this regulary. The shortage of Syrian makes this christmas gift an extra precious stocking stuffer. However I do plan to savor and reserve an amount of this 4 star offering.

Like others, I only smoke this on occasion due to its limited availablility. Last year, I was fortunate enough to get 4 cans -- delicious! This year, especially with the shortage, I am making sure to stock up! As the other reviewer mentioned, this is lighter on the palate than most of the heavy hitters, yet still satisfying with its sweet high and low tones. Highly recomended -- if you can find it.

Gods & Heroes - City Profile @ MMORPG.com
by Inauro, 2007-08-07 23:18:21
MMORPG.com plays host to a second Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising city profile.
Legend has it that Praeneste was founded by the hero Ulysses, but historians claim it was the Etruscans that established this walled city nestled amongst the hills of eastern Armentalius. Whatever the truth of its origins, it is certain that Etruscans had in fact settled in Praeneste several hundred years before the city was conquered by Rome.
