NEW 6 Elements - The old one would not open - here it is in a PDF document
Vortex -
all the world at once(Web Resource) - You have to practice your spelling on this one.
New addition(Web Resource) - Spelling for countries and capitals
Updated link(Web Resource) - This is the newest Sheppard Software link. Posted 4 20 12
comments 4 9 12 - Don't forget to have tested your dvd or jump drive in advance if you have any concerns about the video working. If the video does not work when you turn it in - all members of the group will receive a late grade while it is being redone. ________________ At this time, you should be finalizing, editing, and working on Parts I, II, and III. The project is due 2 weeks from tomorrow.
addition/reminder posted 4 3 12 - You do not need to put your airline details in your video - they can be Part III of the written section you turn in on the 24th.
Final Written Assignment - We went over this in class on 3 30 12. If you have any questions, please ask.
Reminders - Every group must do Food and Transporation......the other cultural aspects are your choice.
info for 3 26 12 due date - Mrs. McMahon will be in C111 if you do not bring it to her room...... The assignment is all about timing and is it realistic. As you mention something that you are doing you should state what cultural category it falls into. (No detailed reasoning for each location is necessary) If you include extra detail ....highlight or underline the parts I have requested. You must explain why you use particular transportation methods.
Change to project 3 19 2012 - Final Script due on 4 24 2012 - I plan on redeisgning what I would like to receive....... There will be a written aspect but I don't think I like what I have asked for. If you have ideas - I will take suggestions through Monday night the 26th via email. Thanks for your help. It will be a major grade that the group shares.
addition to project 3 19 2012 - You must add credits to your video:If you took a clip from Amazing Race - I need to know it. If you went to a St. Patrick's Day Parade or Holi - where and when. If you visited a specific restaurant - what is the name and a location.
Additional updaters on 3 19 2012 - 1. Be specific on your time frames - you flew into Houston and it took you an hour to get to Galveston and you fished for 3 hours and then..... 2. You must turn in a written description - not a video on the 26th of March.
Updates on 3 19 2011 - Reread the directions if you have not visited them in awhile.....Ask questions via email or in class, so you don't make mistakes........You may have up to 2 minutes of other video as an into/or your theme that will not count as other video.....You must be detailing what you are doing in the country - not just what is being filmed - why are you in a country for 5 days if it does not relate to your show?????....Everyone has to do transportation and food so they do not count as aspects of culutre........You should be explaining the reason for the transportation that you choose in a country......When you give your flights and times - you do not need to mention all the stops but if it takes you 15 hours you need to stay whether it is direct or has 2 stops.
Comments 3 9 12 - Be SAFE..make sure you have parental supervision if you need it....don't stress about the project over the break. If you have time, sure do some work, but the point was not to use the break to do the assignment.
....Spanish 3 students 3 9 12 - Mrs. McMahon and Mrs. Jeffery spoke about using the same restaurant. If you use Mrs. Jeffery�s restaurant in your video clip for a �Spanish� restaurant, she will help review that portion of your video for cultural accuracy.
Purpose Games(Web Resource) - This was supplied by Mayank P.
Substitutions 3/5/2012 - You may make substitutions of items in your video as long as I am given a sheet of the information in advance. Example - if you have a bird that is African and want to portray it as a South American bird - you can. All substitutions must be given in writing when you turn the written details/description in. Thank you to Whitney H for asking such a great question.
Activity List - Posted on 3/4/12. Read the whole sheet.
Set of Outline Maps(Web Resource) - Added in on 2/29/2012 - appears to be good practice resource.
2/28/12 - UPDATES - $, etc. - 1. Think about where you are going and what you are doing BEFORE you plan a trip across town. Do the research in advance.........2. What are the directions to where you are going? Do you trust them? What are the prices for what you plan on doing? "Don't spend $70 to get into a festival for 20 minutes worth of information"........3. Is the item you are looking for on the menu? Call and ask ?'s...........4. Price - $ - you do not need to spend money. Improvise, use pictures, make sushi out of cardboard. Don't decide to make a dish that will cost $50.........5. Send Thank You Notes to those you interviewed and who gave you extra time. You can send them to managers c/o the restaurant. -------------------------6. Take your original video and cop and then edit. You should always have a back-up in case something happens to the original. -------------7. Commercials - must be culturally sensitive and applicable. If you have questions ask.
2/24/12 - comments from class - 1. Transportation within and from country to country --------2. Watch Amazing Race on CBS Sundays at 7 PM or www.cbs.com for ideas ----------3. April 1st is the dealine for mentioning more time.--------4. No changes of countries unless your whole group meets with Mrs. McMahon to discuss why and it should be SOON. ------5. Subtitles are ok - particularly in windy sections but use judiciously/wisely. If there is too many, they may take away from the actual show. ******If you have questions ask.
Update 2/24/12 - Conversation in class on Commercials !!! - 1. You need 2 written scripts turned in on 2/29 (1 page per group)......2. What is the product, what country does it relate it........3. Where will the commercials be placed? Timing in the show......4. Each commercial should be 30 seconds to 1 minute............ - Can you do extra commercials? YES - but if you go over 45 minutes you will lose points. -------------------- All products need to be "School" and "Country" appropriate. ------You can use a video/pictures from internet sources but you MUST do the voice over (It must be your original ad - if too close to somethign online you will receive no credit) ------Only one voice is needed in the commercial, but the other partners cannot criticize it if they were not involved. ------You do NOT have to use the product in the commecial in your travel show. ----Commercials can be related to the theme of the show more than a specific country but there must be some country connection.

NAME map - 1 -
Multiple Capitals(Web Resource) - Why countries have more than one capital?
Update 2/3/12 - Advice - Please plan by setting deadlines and not procrastinating. Groups should be meeting/communicating at least once a week at this time. (I think twice is probably too much now - unless you are filming). Some advice other students suggested was to : write a detailed script in advance; don't just think stereotypes - make sure you do research.......................Make a calendar and put down all potential conflicts and then plan around them..............Keep Mrs. McMahon in the loop - I/she has been able to help solve some groups problems by addressing the issues now ................You will be grading each other as the time goes on. It will be more detailed than the basic method used in the past..............If you have questions ASK*******
Due Date 2/29/12 - The next deadline is for the written plan for your commercial: A description of your two commercials � the items and the geographical significance/relevance, where, usage, etc.
Update 2/1/12 - You may not discuss food as one of your 5 - everyone has to do food. The list below is what is the actual assignment.February 3rd � per group � not individual1. Which countries will you visit?2. Which major cities will you visit?3. What are 5 unique aspects of Culture that you have learned about and plan to showcase?
updates 1/30/12 - Feb. 3rd assignment - For TODAY you only need to turn in 5 unique cultural aspects that have been learned so far. For the FINAL PROJECT you need to showcase 5 unique cultural aspects for EACH country you visit. If you are doing a cooking show - you must be very elaborate about your food if counting food as one of your 5 - it appears to be double-dipping.
HW - 1/27/2012 - Read the topic assigned to you. You may print it out or take notes. Be prepared to discuss your topic on Monday. If you disagree with something that you find - be able to discuss/explain why. A-E- Judaism; F-K- Christianity; L-P- Islam; Q-T - Buddhism; U-Z - Hinduism
A second site for details(Web Resource) - This looks to be a good site as well for information. You may want to do a comparison of details.
Link to site of main sources(Web Resource) - I understand that there are many sources out there and that they do not all agree. This is a place to start and gather basic information.

Are the definitions relevant to World Geography? Do they apply to the World Geography class?4. Do the examples explain the application of the definitions? Do you understand them? Do they make sense? You can have criticism or comments on some words and not others Period 1 will do Period 6, Period 2 will do Period 1, Period 3 will do Period 2, Period 4 will do Period 3, and Period 6 will do Period 4.

Clarifications 3 - updated on 10/21 @ 10:43 AM ..... The vocabulary are NOT to be incorporated as topics or pages of your books. They are a part of the assignment but stand alone. ... Groups can mix and match parts of the different types of book formats BUT my concern is that groups will spend so much time on being creative - etc., that they will run out of steam 1/2 way through or that they will not have the actual requirements because they are concentrating so much on the art not the research. .....I added this @1:26 pm - the writing, story parts of your book, must be your words NOT those of an encyclopedia.
Group concerns - The first daily grade was returned today. Students had an opportunity to make adjustments and change their plans if necessary. .....Some students have moved out of the class. This is requiring groups to readjust. They are being reminded that they need to do this. - posted 10/21/11 @10:49 AM .... Students were told on Thursday in class to get contact information for each partner just in case of absence and illness.
Religion Vocab - Updated on 10/18/11
Clarifications 2 - Vocabulary: 1) you need to cite the sources for the vocabulary words at the bottom of the page - dictionary.com, etc. 2) Yes, your geographic reference must come from the region/religion you are assigned. 3) For religion - define sacrament, etc. - give an example. -----------------Have fun with the project - make the words and writing something you want to be read.

Travel Pod(Web Resource) - New game -added 3rd period on 4/27/2009
Why are Europe and Asia considered two separate continents? - The ancient Greeks used the term Europa for the uncivilized (to them) area to their north. They called the vast cultured lands to their east Asia. These regional distinctions stuck. Among continents, Europe is the odd man out. It doesn't fit a modern definition as one of the world's great landmasses but stands out as a world of its own, so it has not yet been demoted. If it is, it won't become part of Asia. Rather the name Eurasia- already in common use - will likely inherit the land.From: Parade; 4/12/2009; Ask Marilyn
Feedback on games - Overall the feedback has been very goods. Some of the websites are challenging but they do help you to prepare for the test you will take in May. Don't hesitate to provide other sites if you find them.

Each country map must show the locations in that country that you plan to visit and a planned route to get there.

As I sit to write this I cannot help but think of the wise philosopher Costanza as he contemplated his next career move. Although it is always difficult to look at one's own strengths and weaknesses, I know that I can come up with more than my bald, stocky friend of Seinfeld fame. Though I'm past the point of hoping to meet a great woman in a bar, I refuse to give up hope. I guess I was always a bit too shy for that. But I just have a feeling that there is a bright, engaging, attractive, and funny person out there who is available and ready to spend some time with me. Call me an optimist and a romantic, but I think I've waited so long to find the right one because I believe she's out there, that I'm worth it, and that we both deserve a chance to meet. Women with "man hands" need not apply. (more Seinfeld humor)

Sometimes it is difficult to choose from the four options given, but there is usually one that fits better than the rest, or at least one that you could see yourself as more so than the others. If you're still unsure, try asking someone who knows you well, such as a parent or sibling. They can give clarity on areas of your personality that you may not notice.

Some of you may be watching this kdrama remake of a jdrama remake of a tdrama adaptation of an anime adaptation of a manga (OK it's probably just an adaptation of the manga, but it's way more fun to say that way). To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of the manga; I dropped it pretty quickly and only know the basic outline of the plot. The thing that made me watch this version is simple: my undying affection for Koo Hye Sun. Sure, Pure 19 was sweet and all, but it's her wide range of absolutely adorable facial expressions that endears her to me. With visions of her in my mind, I plunged into the first episode of Boys Over Flowers.
What I found was a new kind of rage inside myself.
The show begins innocently enough, with Geum Jan Di, daughter of a dry cleaner, delivering laundry to the most elite escalator school in S Korea, Shinhwa School. At the same time she is on her way to deliver the clothes, a boy enrolled in the school is facing a brutal attack by the hands of several students, so severe, in fact, that he decides the only way to end the ridicule is to take his own life. Jan Di, realizing that this man, Lee Min Ha, is the designated recipient of the laundry, tries to get him to pay first, before jumping (lol). Min Ha tells her to bill it to his family, then jumps, but it a daring move, Jan Di manages to catch him before he can fall.
The whole scene is captured on camera and film by a crowd of student onlookers, and Jan Di quickly finds herself at the heart of a national debate on bullying in elite schools, and the powerful Shinhwa Corporation decides that the only way to save face in this is to offer her a spot in the prestigious school.
Reluctant at first, Jan Di decides to attend Shinhwa. Soon after her first day, she realizes that the boy she saved was being bullied by a group of students known as the Flower 4, or F4. Apparently, these boys are the sons of the richest and most powerful families in S Korea, and they practically run the school. If you get on their bad side, they can make life a living hell for you simply by placing a card with their symbol in your locker. The would-be jumper Min Ha found one of these in his locker that fateful day.
Sounds great, right? Off to a neat start, with lots of promise. Let me tell you what I hoped might happen:
Strong-willed Jan Di, who was brought up to respect others and herself, is the first person ever to stand up to the sadistic and sociopathic F4. Galled by her arrogance, the F4 sets to make her life just as miserable as every one else who crosses them. As it turns out, the leader of the F4 is none other than the son of the owner of the Shinhwa corporation, and he is every bit as cruel and soulless as you would imagine. Though hurt by their cruelty, Jan Di refuses to be embarrassed by what she sees as the fault of the F4. Feeling sorry for them, she decides that they should learn a lesson in humility.
During the first few weeks, while dealing with constant ridicule from the other students, she finds a friend in Min Ha, the man she saved from a suicide attempt. Her bravery led him to find it within himself to stand up to F4 himself, saving Jan Di from a brutal attack by a group of beautiful but sadistic girls in the locker room. Grateful and impressed, they begin a journey to teach the students of Shinhwa academy that it is personal integrity and kindness towards others that is the way to get ahead in life, not birthright and pettiness.
Through many adventures together in the school, a romance grows between our heroine and Min Ha, who as it turns out is the heir to a modest but substantial fortune that his parents made in the textile business, leading to a partnership between Jan Di's father and Mr. Lee, wherein Mr. Guem becomes the president of the dry-cleaning branch of the Lee empire. Jan Di and Min Ha fall madly in love, and together they are ale to turn the student body against the F4, showing them for what they really are: spoilt, cruel, unhappy people. Some of the F4 are able to find redemption, but the worst one, ringleader heir of Shinhwa, so disgraces his family that the show ends with him taking his own life, just a few blocks from the wedding of Jan Di and Min Ha.
What really happens:
Jan Di does in fact attend Shinhwa Academy, and her independent attitude does draw the ire of the sadistic and cruel F4. However, Min Ha is nowhere to be found, and is replaced by a weak-willed girl who drops Jan Di like a bad habit at the first sign of trouble, even though just days before Jan Di stood up for her in front of F4. The things done to Jan Di are more than most people could bear, but her can-do attitude allows her to stay on top of her emotions and not give in to the F4.
Here's where the problem comes.
F4 is known throughout the school, and they are seen doing such unreasonable things are: pouring juice on someone's very expensive shirt with little or no provocation, slamming a cake in a girl's face in from of the school for simply offering them a bite, and strong-arming students into licking their shoes when they are dirty. Jan Di knows all of this.
The first thing the students do to Jan Di once she is marked for unreasonable cruelty, under the demands of F4 of course, is steal her desk. Fair enough; even the horrible things they write on her desk when she finds it are ok with me as far as pranks go. Then, though, they hit her with a barrage of eggs and summarily douse her with flour. I felt it it my soul when she started crying, and I really have to give it up to Koo Hye Sun for her excellent performance during this scene. Afterward, she goes to her quiet happy place on the school grounds, a stairwell she has visited every time she needs to vent about the harsh treatment handed down to her by the F4.
Who should be there but one member of F4, the kindest member Yoon Ji Hoo. Remember now, this is the kindest out of the 4 pricks, so he's like the Mussolini of the Axis powers. He so kindly gives his handkerchief to Jan Di and tells her not to worry about returning it. Now I know from knowledge of the plot that this becomes her first love interest, but I have to ask: why? Why does this man, who though admittedly attractive failed to stop the abuse Jan Di suffered, appeal to her as a potential mate? Where is my spunky and strong-willed heroine? Who replaced her with a cowering, timid coward?
To make matters worse, Ji Hoo participates in the fouling of the school swimming pool; one of the only reasons Jan Di wanted to come to school at Shinhwa was their excellent pool and her desire to swim again. After she single-handedly cleans the pool, she it attacked in the locker room by a group of boys. The 1st ep ends with the boys engaged in a full-on sexual assault that looks to be leading to rape.
I have no doubt that the second episode will begin with Ji Hoo stopping the rape from happening, and that their romance will begin there. What the fuck, women of the world? How could you ever harbor any emotion other than repulsion and hate for a member of a group that basically organized and condoned a gang-bang on your ass? I fail to see how any one member of the F4 can find redemption enough in the eyes of Jan Di to be worthy of her, and I think that the horrible things they have already done precludes them from any redemption in my own eyes, so I can never be happy with a conclusion that pairs my beloved Jan Di with the cruel and heartless leader of F4.
Unfortunately, it is that very conclusion towards which we are racing in this show, and I wait with bated breath for my next glimpse of Hye Sun, though her talent is wasted in this psychotic fantasy. I leave you with a gallery of the only redeeming part of this show: Hye Sun's adorable, exaggerated facial expressions ^_^
Also, after a longer holiday than I had planned, I'm back ^_^;;

Contrary to popular belief, the field of electrical engineering is about much more than simply sitting in front of a circuit board. Through their work, electrical engineers make a difference in the world and improve people's everyday lives.
With an electrical engineering degree from MSOE, you will obtain the skills needed to design and develop a wide array of electrical systems and electronic devices: from communication systems that allow us to talk with family and friends all over the world, to medical equipment that could help save lives, to renewable energy systems that could make our world more sustainable. The ever-growing demand for new and improved electronic technologies makes EE one of the fastest-growing engineering fields.
At MSOE, you'll start taking EE courses as early as freshman year. You will be able to work on interesting and hands-on projects and labs, providing you with practical experience in the field as well as helping you further develop your teamwork and communication skills. EE students also have the opportunity to participate in a five-year co-op program.
After you graduate, the possibilities of where you could go with your degree are endless. The broad range of applications and projects that EEs work on provides you with much flexibility when choosing a career path. Milwaukee is also home to many major electronic and electrical industries eager to hire electrical engineers from MSOE or to sponsor senior design projects.
The results
The placement rate for MSOE electrical engineering graduates was 95% in 2013-14, and graduates enjoyed an average starting salary of $59,180.
EE graduates started great careers with companies like:
- Astronautics Corporation of America
- Cree Lighting
- GE Healthcare
- Johnson Controls
- J. W. Speaker
- Milwaukee Tool
- Plexus
- Rockwell Automation
- Rockwell Collins
- We Energies
The field
Electrical engineers work with very small things like integrated circuits, which control virtually every electronic item in the home and industry, all the way up to large things like the electric power grid that stretches across the nation. Electrical engineers also use and interact with computers, mostly on the hardware side.
Today, most electrical engineering work involves the use of computers and it is common to use computer-aided design programs when designing electrical systems. They work in a wide variety of fields on a wide variety of projects, doing everything from discussing proposals with clients, preparing budgets and determining project schedules. Many senior engineers manage a team of technicians or other engineers, meaning project management skills are important.
You may want to consider EE if you …
- Are able to do mathematics and detailed work with accuracy
- Enjoy using computers and working in a team environment
- Possess strong written and oral communication skills
Curriculum Year by Year
Freshman Year
Hone your basic knowledge of mathematics, chemistry and physics while taking introductory EE classes like Linear Circuits. You'll also work on your written and oral communication skills.
Sophomore Year
A highlight of this year will be building an autonomous robot. Your mathematics and physics courses become more complex sophomore year, as you take even more electrical engineering-focused courses.
Junior Year
Your junior year consists almost entirely of EE courses, including dynamic systems, electric and magnetic fields and electromagnetic waves, to name a few.
Senior Year
You'll have the opportunity to take more elective courses senior year while also completing your senior design project as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
Studying Abroad
EE students have the exciting opportunity to study abroad in Lubeck, Germany their junior year. If you decide you would like to spend a year studying in another country, planning would begin your freshman year and changes to your curriculum track would be made your sophomore year to accommodate.

I heard about this on the Marketplace Morning Report this morning, and I'm interested.
The U.S. Mint will produce the first pure (.9999) gold coin for investors and collectors. The face value of the coin will be $50 and it will consist of 24-karat gold.
The "bullion" version of the coin will be for created investors. The Mint will only sell these coins to authorized dealers (for the market value of the gold plus a small mark-up) who will in turn sell the coins to the "secondary market" (ie., us ordinary people). If you are interested, you can find the authorized gold dealers here and the coins go on sale tomorrow, June 22.
The Mint will produce only 200,000 "proof" coins, and they will also be available beginning June 22 from the Mint's website for $800 each. So what's the difference between "proof" (for collectors) and "bullion" (for investors)?
Collectible coins are issued in premium quality (Proofs are most desirable) by government mints in limited quantities, and sold at premium prices… On the other hand, bullion coins are issued in large numbers by government mints in Uncirculated quality, and sold at small premiums over the gold value.

Does wine taste better in certain phases of the moon? Catherine Nixey ventures to North London to find out ...
Special to MORE INTELLIGENT LIFE
It is a hedonistic epistemological dilemma: when one believes something tastes different, does that mean it actually tastes different? I suspect Hume would say yes, Descartes would say no. But at a wine tasting at the Winery, a beautiful North London wine shop, neither philosopher could weigh in. I take the glass offered by the shop's owner, David Motion. "How does it taste?" he asks. "Different?" I sip. I pause. "Um..." I don't know.
I rarely mix wine with philosophy (a favoured pastime for some). But I am not often in the position of sipping the same wine twice in an afternoon, in order to observe the effect of the moon's passage on its flavour. The Winery specialises in wines produced according to biodynamic principles, which hold that a wine's taste is altered dramatically by the phases of the moon. I am here to sample such changes myself.
The theory has its origins in the biodynamic movement, which Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher, began in the early 20th century. The ideas are simple, albeit eccentric. Biodynamic wine is created from grapes grown in harmony with nature. This means that the wine is not only organic, but also crafted with a heightened awareness of stars and planets—that is, the forces of cosmic energy. Because such wine growers view the vineyard as a living organism, they presume the grapes are affected by the moon, like other living things. Similarly, consumers should be mindful of when they drink such wine, as the phases of the moon affect the taste of the vintage.
Motion admits this belief "does sound a bit mung-bean". Nevertheless, faith in the biodynamic powers of wine is fast gaining adherents. There are more than 520 natural and biodynamic wine producers, according to Fork & Bottle, and this number continues to grow. Last year Tesco, a British supermarket behemoth not famed for its credulity, announced that it was scheduling tastings in accordance with the lunar calendar. Marks & Spencer, another British retailer, already does so. Intrigued, I set out to the Winery in a spirit of empiricism to taste five wines, first in a "root" phase of the moon, then a "fruit" phase, to put this theory to the test.
Situated in Maida Vale, a smart area of North London, the Winery's handsome Edwardian architecture speaks more of tradition than innovation. It is the sort of wine shop one expects would do a roaring trade in "good claret". But Motion says his customer's have been "extremely enthusiastic" about biodynamism, adding, "You'd be surprised how many BBC Radio 4 listeners buy biodynamic calendars." Unimpeachable proof of respectability.
Inside the shop's cool gloom, oak shelves tower from floor to ceiling. They hold bottles and bottles of wine packed as tightly as the jars of dreams in Roald Dahl's BFG's cave. Like those jars, each of these biodynamic bottles seems to contain less a drink than a character. "This is Thibault," says Motion, introducing me to one bottle, "his vineyard is in Volnay." I nod in acknowledgement. After Thibault, I meet Michel, Pascal (who makes his wine in his grandmother's garage) and another Pascal, who stirs a bucket of water in his garden to "create a vortex and draw in the energy of the cosmos."
Such declarations test the faith of an embryonic believer. Though many biodynamic principles (which include avoidance of pesticides and an emphasis on natural composting) seem thoroughly sensible, others, like the cosmos bucket, are a little more recherche. Even Motion would admit that "some of it sounds like gobbledeygook." Still, he says, biodynamic farmers "cut down on chemicals and are very in tune with their vines. Which can't be wrong."
It is not only the wines and the growers who have character. Grapes, too, also have a pronounced personality—and a rather highly wrought one at that. Motion talks about them as if he was describing the anti-hero of an Austen novel. Grapes do not like to travel, I learn, so movement results in a wine of impaired flavour. They also chafe at excessive heat, excessive cold, additives and chemicals. The delicate question of whether the fruit likes to be crushed and then drunk, however, is never broached.
Then the tour is over. It is time for the second tasting—an event that I realise I have been dreading. Given my enthusiastic but uneducated palate, I worry that I am not up to the oenological nuances of this task. My nerves are not helped by the sudden appearance of a Master of Wine beside me, exuding confidence and exclaiming words like "liquoricey".
Our glasses are filled and the moment feels charged. There is a pause as we swill, smell, sip. Then, judgment. "Wow," says Motion. "There is no doubt about it. It is definitely different." "Much fresher," agrees another taster. "More expressive," says a third. My turn. I carefully sip. It might taste "zingier," I say; more acidic. Motion looks pleased.
But then again, if I am honest, it might not. I ask Motion how on earth I can be sure that I am not just imagining this difference. He looks thoughtful. "I think that the best way would probably be to try the whole experiment again," he replies. I find it hard to argue. I take another sip of the wine. Different or not, it is definitely delicious. In vino, as they say, veritas.

The US Bureau of Land Management signed a decision amending the Ruby Pipeline Project's right-of-way on Dec. 7, BLM's Reno, Nev., field office announced on Dec. 13. The changes include construction of 4 above-ground cathode sites to control pipeline corrosion and 15 small roads to main line valves, it said.
The system includes a 678-mile, 42-in. interstate natural gas pipeline crossing 368 miles of federal land from Opal, Wyo., across northern Utah and Nevada to a terminus near Malin, Ore., BLM said. BLM and the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued permits for the project in 2010, and the pipeline went into service this year on July 28.
BLM said it and FERC would continue to monitor and evaluate restoration progress along the entire pipeline's ROW several years. Questions about the cathodes and roads decision may be directed to BLM National Project Manager Mark Mackiewicz in the US Department of the Interior agency's field office in Price, Utah, it added.
