The role of U.S. senators is to represent their constituents' best interests in Washington. Josh Mandel, who has served Ohioans in the Marine Corps, the General Assembly and now as state treasurer, will do that when Buckeye State voters elect him to the Senate.
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, who is running for re-election against Mandel, views service to his party and its leaders as his top priority. That has meant Brown often votes against the best interests of Ohioans.
Brown has been steadfast in his support of President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. He has been a staunch supporter of the national health care takeover - "Obamacare" - despite the cost to Ohio.
If Obamacare proceeds, thousands of Ohioans pleased with the health insurance they have will lose it. Thousands of others will pay more for health insurance. Still others will be fined thousands of dollars for refusing to buy government-approved health insurance policies.
Brown has supported the Obama administration's attempt to force electricity prices up by hundreds of dollars a year in most Ohio households, by wrecking the coal industry.
About 82 percent of Ohio's electricity is generated at coal-fired power plants - several of which already are scheduled to be shut down because of the Obama administration's new rules. They will be replaced with higher-priced generating capacity.
To understand what higher power prices mean to jobs in Ohio, consider the Ormet aluminum plant in Monroe County. There, more than 1,000 jobs may be lost because of electric rate increases.
Mandel will use his Senate seat to defend Ohio. His philosophy calls for a repeal of Obamacare, substituting real health care reform.
Mandel will reject the Environmental Protection Agency's war on coal, holding prices for electricity down.
He will insist on fiscal responsibility in the Senate - which has not managed to pass a budget in 42 months.
A fairer, more jobs-friendly tax code, a realistic energy policy including maximum use of American natural gas and oil, and support for basic rights such as that to keep and bear arms also are on Mandel's agenda. They have no place in Brown's thinking, as he has demonstrated during his time in the Senate.
Ohioans need a senator to represent them - not liberals such as Obama and Reid. The Review endorses Mandel and recommends Ohio voters cast their ballots for him in the Nov. 6 election.

BCS and Computing Join Forces to Create All-New UK IT Industry Awards
02:28, November 3 2010By BCS - The Chartered Institute for IT
BCS and Computing, owned by Incisive Media, are launching the newly-formed UK IT Industry Awards, to be held at the Battersea Park Events Arena on 12 November 2009.
This new venture merges the BCS IT Industry Awards and Computing Awards for Excellence and creates a platform for the entire IT profession to showcase and celebrate best practice, innovation and excellence.
David Clarke, BCS CEO, said: BCS is delighted to join with Computing to bring our two IT awards schemes together to make the definitive UK IT industry awards, combining the best of both of our former schemes. These awards will form the showcase for the entire profession and will become the benchmark for excellence.
The awards feature 24 categories providing a platform for organisations and individuals involved in IT across the public, not for profit and commercial sectors. Entry for the awards is now open via an online entry process.
Initial judging takes place in August, after which finalists will be invited to give presentations and go through an interview process with an expert panel of judges drawn from across the industry in September. The winners will be announced at a gala evening event at the magnificent Battersea Park Events Arena in London.
Robin Booth, publisher of Computing, said: Combining the experience and resources of the UK's leading IT media brand with those of the society for the UK IT profession is an enticing prospect. It is vital for the profession to be able to demonstrate excellence and best practice and to show that the technology industry is one of the most important in the UK for innovation, investment and value.
Mr Clarke said: The merging of the two award schemes is a natural extension of BCS's relationship with Computing. The awards are vital to both organisations' desire to establish IT as a profession with similar standing to that of other chartered professions.

Ten Effective Strategies for Building a Family Tree
Genealogy is as much about having the correct perspective and managing expectations as it is about family history. The ten strategies listed in this article will give you a better outlook on what is required to be successful with your own family history research.
1. Understand the Size of Your Family
Let's start with the basics: how big is your family? The amount of time it takes to build your family tree is dependant on the size of your family. Most people tend to underestimate family size because they base their estimate on known brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, etc. and they forget about their extended family. Let's try to estimate the size of a typical extended family. This will help you gauge the amount of work required to build a complete family tree.
With some digging, most people can trace their family history back about 150 years. A generation is 32 years, so this represents five generations. That means being able to trace you family back to your about the time of your great-great-great-grandparents. Generally, this will be the scope of your family tree. How many people would typically be in a family tree of this size? Well, you have two parents, four grandparents and eight great-grandparents. If you keep counting backwards, you will find you have 32 great-great-great-grandparents. That is, 16 great-great-great-grandfathers and 16 great-great-great-grandmothers. Counting yourself, this means you have a total of 63 parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. going all the way back to your great-great-great-grandparents.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Following the final horn, Zach Ottaway sprinted to midcourt and met his teammates with a hip bump.
Back in the locker room, the echoes of the blaring music could be heard on the other side of Hollidaysburg Area High School.
The Golden Tigers boys basketball team hasn't had much to celebrate this season, but Tuesday's 53-52 win over Latrobe erased those bad memories for at least one night.
"I love this group of kids, because they work so hard," Hollidaysburg coach Mick Pentoney said. "It is my common belief that if you work that hard, you should be getting good things, but we just can't get a break. Finally we got one against a really good basketball team."
Hollidaysburg, which improved to 4-10, trailed by as many as 12 in the third quarter and by seven heading into the fourth. Latrobe's Will Wears extended the lead to 45-36 with a steal and a layup early in the final quarter before Brian Urban nailed a 3-pointer and Eric Miller completed a three-point play on back-to-back possessions.
"They went into a zone, and I thought when we were up nine, if we could get one more basket, we could get them out of it," Latrobe coach Brad Wetzel said. "The reality was that it went down to six, then three, pretty quick."
Wears made a layup over Ottaway, who was playing less aggressive with four fouls, to put the Wildcats back up by five. Moments later, Dom Viduya, who was also playing with four fouls, made his third 3-pointer of the game with 3:40 left to make it a two-point game.
"It was critical [that Ottaway and Viduya stayed in the game]," Pentoney said. "Those are a pair of seniors who were being smart and knowing when to use their head and not foul guys inside but still make it tough on them. [Ottaway] gave up a few buckets, but he knew for him to be on the floor offensively for us was important."
Following a Jake Holsopple free throw, Ottaway made sticking around worth it.
The senior banked a 3-pointer in with 1:51 left to give the Golden Tigers their first lead since the first quarter. Ottaway finished with 13 points and nine rebounds.
"Zach can shoot 3's and post up," Pentoney said. "He can score a lot of different ways, but I thought they did a good job at getting to him. They kept him out of the post, but he came through there."
Two Urban free throws with 40.7 seconds left extended Hollidaysburg's lead to four, but Ben Havrilla hit a jumper on Latrobe's next possession before the Wildcats forced a turnover. Wears, who scored 16 points and had 16 rebounds, was fouled but missed the first free throw. Wears made the second to make it 53-52, and Urban missed the front end of a one-and-one opportunity, giving Latrobe a final chance.
"We got the rebound and pushed it toward the basket," Wetzel said. "[Havrilla tried to get down the middle and had some difficulty doing that and settled for a 15-foot shot. We got the rebound with several seconds left, but the ball never came back up for the putback.
"Mike [Soforic] clearly got the ball with two hands, but the ball never came back up. I don't know how that happened, but it's unfortunate."
The scrum under the basket in the final seconds paled in comparison to the pile-up of Golden Tigers at midcourt following the game.
Urban led Hollidaysburg with 14 points, and Viduya added 11. Latrobe, which dropped to 9-8, was led by Soforic's 18 points.
"Dom made some big 3's for us tonight, Zach banked that 3-pointer and we just moved the ball better in the fourth quarter," Pentoney said. "It's been a struggle to get that offense moving this year, but we got some open shots there in the fourth."
LATROBE (52): Havrilla 3 4-4 10, Soforic 8 1-1 18, Cullen 0 1-2 1, Wears 7 2-6 16, Reeping 1 0-0 2, Dunlap 1 1-1 3, Kissell 1 0-0 2, Graytok 0 0-0 0. Totals - 21 9-14 52.

I'm gonna skip the car analogies and get to my point lol
The wings are built in a way that when a top guy or 2 gets hurt they completely suck. They dont have the personel in the bottom 6 to switch up the system a bit and play a more rugged style of game necessary when youre using bottom guys to win.
Look at the pens, whenever they have top guys hurt they rally and seem to do just as good as they did before because they play a pretty rugged dump and chase style of game outside of the top few guys.
I dont think Babcock has the guys to start playing that way when you only have one good scoring line. A Gaustad or Moen in the bottom would be a good start.
People always comment when I complain about the bottom 6 saing if thats the worst thing than who cares and think I make a big deal about it, but its true. The wings have 2 good puck possession lines and than 2 lines with no identity. If we had a couple more Helm and Abdelkaders it would make the bottom 6 more effective on the forecheck/ grind it out game and when top guys go down a little tweak away from the skille puck possession game would be possible
You see, this is the problem: Too many naive fans give Holland WAY too much credit. He actually deserves very little. He's an overrated, pretty incompetent GM, if you ask me. Tell me why he deserves so much credit? Because he was able to fleece other teams in the pre-cap era, and even then his trades were hit and miss. Maybe because he inherited a Scotty Bowman coached team and promptly reaped the benefits..and glory. Ken Holland has done very little for this team, but they win so he gets a lot of the credit. The good decisions he makes are ones any competent GM would make, but the bad ones, and there are many, he gets a pass on.
The big problem with Holland, besides his insistence on turning the NHL into a no-contact sport, is that he was a goalie; he has no real understanding of what it takes to win a physical sport. After Bowman retired and he was eventually able to get his loyal lap dog(Mike Babcock) in place, he promptly started to reshape the Red Wings in his image --- soft! The only reason we saw the acquisitions of Drake and Downey in '08 was because of all the negative reaction and feedback from fans of the season before. Remember that team? Possibly the softest team I have ever seen in my life.
This team has a ton of skill, but no heart or grit. That will not get it done in the NHL. Our coach is also an overrated buffoon, but boy do fans love him. I don't understand it? It's easy to with a talented team when they are healthy, but a coaches true worth is measured in how he handles adversity. We have all seen how Mike Babcock handles adversity, haven't we?
This team needs two things: 1) more size and 2) more speed. Sure there are other needs but these two are the biggest. Holland continues to avoid addressing the needs of the team. When signing players he adds either 1) or 2) but not both. I'm sorry, but the Bertuzzi signing was TERRIBLE. He has size but no speed. He lacks the speed to play top 6 imo and lacks the grit to play bottom 6. Now we have 2 more years of him taking terrible penalties in the offensive zone. When I see Holland pass up a guy like Jeff Carter who has size, speed, right handed centre, sniper, youth (every need we require) at an all time low price - I could not believe it. The ericsson contract was another example of Holland making compromises. IF holland doesn't sign at least one of Suter or Parise in the offseason, I would be confident to say he doesn't have the stones to be a competent GM in the league anymore. He doesn't seem to identify the problems and go about solving them, he would much rather hope they solve themselves.
We can't just go get more speed and size, Gaustad or Moen, or 3 top 3 draft picks (like the pens had). These things aren't free. He's not avoiding them, I'm certain he's aware of them, but we just don't have the resources to get them. After 10 or so years of beating the odds in a system where teams that stay at the top accumulate a disparity of resources, it's hard to muster up the assets to get these things, without tanking completely (like the NHL wants us to).
Holland's view towards rugged players has always been interesting. Besides the obvious reasons for these things, I really think he has taken a less than pragmatic approach about it. I think he looks at the rules and thinks, those players shouldn't be necessary anymore. He's right, but that's not the way it happens on the ice. The enforcement hasn't caught up with the legislation yet.

Spending to combat domestic violence to increase under plan
March 30, 2013
HARRISBURG (AP) — Gov. Tom Corbett made a pitch Friday for a proposed increase in state spending to combat the domestic violence that claims an average of one life every three days in Pennsylvania....
I have been a victim of domestic abuse years back but also believe that now a days anything and everything is called abuse, the younger women yell abuse to get even, or go as far as make stories up so they can get a man kick out of his own home. I saw this happen with my son who would never in a million years abuse a woman. Sad to say their our woman(AND MEN) in need of this help however what about he ones that cry wolf ? Maybe jail term for them as well. Also what about help for the elderly ? Or help for the working person on a single income that cant afford to eat because they have high rent , medical bill's, and more bill's. We cant get the freebies, CAUSE WE WORK AND MAKE 40 DOLLARS TO MUCH. Only the working poor suffer in Pa. Give help to domestic violence by making sure the victims get counseling and can use some of there own resources to help themselves.A lot OF these people take the abuser back, which is why long term counseling is so important. They need to learn self worth
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I'm a little confused by your comment Ray, are you saying that women want to be abused? I'm not really sure there is a lot of truth to that.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Not all but most woman love those kind of men and when they cant find them locally they start writing to the prisoners.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"Just because it happens behind closed doors ... or because the victim and the assailant know each other doesn't make it acceptable. We all agree that it's not acceptable," said Corbett, who was flanked by more than a dozen advocates for the programs."
Another o' those vestiges of the "good ol' 1950s" (finally) going belly-up??

Too bad, easily one of the best defenseman of his generation I would go Perfect Human - Pronger - S. Niedermayer that's how good Pronger was in his prime. He took a lot of teams on his back and led them to Stanley Cup appearances and even wins, he is physical beast.
All the best to him hopefully Pronger can be symptom free very soon.
btw. how dumb is Holmer? You don't say something like that publically because you are now on the hook for 6 million against your cap, just keep him on LTIR and when his contract is done, anounce his retirement.

quote The PursuitI liked Blue Dragon, but after Lost Odyssey, well, let's just say it's a good thing I traded it in. Lost Odyssey is like a grittier, more refined version of Blue Dragon. Funny enough, both are 360 exclusives... you'd think they be on the PS3. Funny how that works.I have yet to try blue dragon though.
quote Monterey JackEh, enchanted arms was okay but nothing special and very tedious. I have yet to try blue dragon though.quote lucedeoangelWell it was certainly better than that *bleep*en Blue Dragon game, that's for sure!And Enchanted Arms was a great game too.
And am I the only one here who liked the Summon Night: Swordcraft Story games on the GBA? Haven't played the others because most of them weren't released out of Japan (well there's a DS game or two that has, but I don't have a DS).

quote Tam85I love a game with a lot of characters, but there were WAAAAY too many for me. Especially with 3 battle character restriction.Im glad to see I wasnt the only one who liked eternal sonata.My husband wouldnt shut up about how bad it was so once I beat it I had to sell it;(

quote Two_StepHaha, no I knew exactly what you meant. I was just talking up one of my favorite RPGs. A lot of younger kids think I'm talking about Paper Mario or Mario and Luigi when I say Mario RPG.Not under appreciated, but not known by many.

Police arrested five local residents over the weekend for allegedly operating a meth lab in an Elkins home.
Michael Leon Bennington, 31, of Buckhannon, Brian Keith Hammer, 51, of Elkins, Angela Faye Miller, 44, of Elkins, Phillip Ander Moyers, 28, of Elkins, and Barbara Ann Spiva, 47, of Elkins were each charged with operating or attempting to operate a clandestine lab and with manufacturing or delivery of a controlled substance.
They were incarcerated in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail as of presstime. Bond for each was set at $50,000.
Article Photos
Trooper M.J. Wilson of the Elkins detachment of the West Virginia State Police and Deputy B.L. Vanmeter of the Randolph County Sheriff's Department went to 462 Wilson Street Friday in reference to an arrest warrant service, according to a release from the state police.
Police saw "materials consistent in the production of methamphetamine" when they entered the house, the release stated.
On Dec. 11, in federal court in Elkins, Hammer entered a guilty plea to one felony count of possession of pseudoephedrine to be used in the manufacture of methamphetamine.
In exchange for the plea, other charges against Hammer were dropped, including one felony count of possession of material used in the manufacture of methamphetamine and one felony count of conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.

Things have been crazy busy around here lately. That hasn't left a lot of time to be creative in the kitchen, and a few recent failures haven't helped things. First up, I can't get my sourdough starter to actually start. It bubbles away, but never actually rises. I have started and re-started so many times I have lost count. I eventually made my way over the Peter Reinhart's blog (I am using his recipe) and found out that there is a bacteria in flour that masquerades as yeast by producing carbon dioxide. I thought I have finally found the solution, and did what Rienhart suggested to fix the problem. But, alas, it did not work. Here is my starter . . . mocking me. Any suggestions from experienced bakers?

Big Fat Failures
Second, I made a tortilla casserole. Do you need to fry the corn tortillas first? This casserole turned into a big pile of mush.
This one started out as a fabulous stir fry. But then I ruined it by using a pre-made sauce. Lesson learned: take a few minutes to make your own. Or, don't buy pre-made sauce in the first place.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Standard methods for protein quantitation rely on colorimetric assays like those involving protein-copper chelation (BCA and Lowry assays) and dye-binding based detection (Bradford and 660 Assay) or ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy.
While colorimetric assays are easy to use, they are highly sensitive to sample components (detergents and reducing agents), protein composition and structure, and dye-binding properties. In these assays, protein concentration is determined by comparing signals from samples of unknown concentration to signals from reference standards (composed of common proteins such as bovine serum albumin), which are prepared for every measurement. Standard curve determinations differ considerably from assay to assay, affecting measurement reproducibility.
The BCA assay involves a two-step chemical reaction requiring incubation, and delivers results that can vary due to the kinetic rate of the reaction. In addition, phospholipids, chelating agents, reducing agents, and certain nonionic, oxidizing detergents can negatively impact the assay signal. The Bradford assay relies on binding of Coomassie Brilliant Blue G250 to basic amino acids, particularly arginine.
As a result, the assay outcome depends on the number of basic amino acid residues in the analyzed protein, which can vary greatly between proteins. Additionally, because the assay requires standard curve generation for every experiment, the proportion of basic amino acid residues in the protein standard needs to be similar to that of the protein being assayed.
UV spectroscopy-based quantification methods rely on the absorbance at 280 nm by a protein's aromatic amino acids, predominantly tryptophan and tyrosine. Therefore, the absorbance at 280 nm of different proteins can vary widely (greater than twofold difference between extinction coefficients of albumin and immunoglobulin G). Additionally, proteins that do not contain aromatic amino acids, such as Protein A, cannot be quantified based on 280 nm absorbance.
Amino acid analysis delivers possibly the most accurate protein quantitation. The procedure consists of several steps—hydrolysis, derivatization, separation, and detection followed by quantitation. The results can be greatly influenced by variability in the inherent liability of a given sequence to hydrolysis, derivatization conditions, or sample contaminants (mainly presence of nonvolatile amines like Tris or glycine). Additionally, this method is expensive and may take time to obtain results if samples are sent to a third party for analysis.
Classical methods for peptide quantitation rely on the weight of the lyophilized powder, UV spectroscopy, or amino acid analysis.
Establishment of actual peptide concentration based on the weight of the lyophilized powder is inaccurate because the analyzed powder can contain a significant quantity (10−70%) of bound water, salts, or counterions. One UV spectroscopy-based peptide quantitation method relies on absorbance at 280 nm. This wavelength can be used to estimate peptide concentration if tryptophan and/or tyrosine residues are present in the sequence. Therefore, peptides that do not contain aromatic amino acids cannot be quantified using this method.
It is possible to determine peptide concentration by measuring absorbance at 205 nm. However, this measurement is far more prone to external influence, since many solvents and other chemicals will absorb at this wavelength. A high-quality, dual-beam spectrophotometer is required in order to reduce the effects of nonspecific absorption and to measure low concentrations.
The Direct Detect™ spectrometer (EMD Millipore), an infrared (IR)-based protein quantitation system, represents an innovation in biomolecule quantitation. The key to this advance lies in the membrane technology for preparing and presenting aqueous biological samples to make them compatible with infrared analysis. The technology employs a hydrophilic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane that is spectrally "transparent" in the amide I and II regions used for protein and peptide detection and quantitation, enabling application of biomolecule solutions directly onto the membrane without added sample preparation.
By measuring amide bonds in protein and peptide chains, the system accurately determines an intrinsic component of every protein and peptide without relying on amino acid composition, dye binding properties, reaction kinetics, or redox potentials.
IR spectroscopy exploits the fact that molecules absorb radiation at specific frequencies characteristic of their structure and functional groups. Amide bonds within the protein absorb radiation in multiple regions of the IR spectrum, including a strong band at 1,600−1,690 cm-1 (amide I). In order to determine protein concentration, the Direct Detect system uses the intensity of the amide I band, which is assigned to C=O stretching vibration of the peptide bond (about 80%) with a minor contribution from C-N stretching vibration (about 20%), as shown in Figure 1. A key advantage to this system is that IR-based amide bond quantitation is not subject to interference from detergents, reducing agents, and chelators.

In Chicago, a Spirit Rises Despite Bitter Reviews
Malört, Made From Wormwood Plant, Is Acquired Taste; Bartender's Challenge
CHICAGO—For most drinkers, the first taste of Jeppson's Malört tends to be the last.
"I've heard everything, from it tastes like earwax to Band-Aids to burnt hair," said Ian Penrose, a bartender at Rocking Horse in the city's hip Logan Square neighborhood.
Taste isn't the only problem for the 80-year-old, gold-colored spirit made from a Swedish recipe. Jeppson's Malört can't be found outside of Chicago and a few suburbs. By the company's own admission, its Malört is enjoyed by only one out of every 49 drinkers who try it. Even the company's owner, Pat Gabelick, a 69-year-old retired secretary who runs the company out of her condo on Lake Shore Drive, rarely drinks it.
Still, the liquor is finding a growing following among Chicagoans as a kind of badge of honor. A shot of it is a way to punish a drinking buddy or out-of-towner. A page on the website Flickr is dedicated to photos of people with sour looks on their faces after sampling Malört for the first time. Mixologists like the challenge of making Malört's bitter flavor somewhat enjoyable.
On Wednesday, Trenchermen, a restaurant in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, is dedicating the night to Jeppson's Malört, celebrating one of the year's busiest bar nights with a barrel-aged version of the bitter booze. Tona Palomino, the restaurant's minister of libations, decided to embrace the spirit a year ago after moving here from New York City.
"It has become the shot of choice of people who work in the industry," he said.
Mr. Penrose sees more people ordering the spirit that once was drank largely by bartenders, often well past midnight. "It has gone from an inside joke to something people are seeking out," he says.
Jeppson's Malört gets its bitter taste from wormwood, which is "Malört" in Swedish. The weedlike plant is better known for its role in absinthe, but was also popular in other spirits.
Ms. Gabelick, who inherited the company from her boss, says sales climbed last year by more than 80% from just a few years ago to 23,500 bottles, with annual revenue of more than $170,000. The company raised its price this year for the first time since 2004.
As for the product itself, there is little to be done, Ms. Gabelick says. It tastes OK with grapefruit juice, which does a pretty good job of masking the flavor, she says.
Ms. Gabelick seems a bit baffled by the interest in Malört, which was a hobby for her boss, George Brode, a Chicago lawyer who left the company and its one product to her when he died in 1999.
"All my life I wish George had made a product I could drink," she says.
Jeppson's Malört got its start when Mr. Brode landed one of Chicago's first liquor licenses after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. He added Malört to his stable of liquors when approached by Carl Jeppson, who had a recipe for a spirit favored by the city's Swedish immigrant population. Mr. Brode eventually exited the liquor business for a career as a lawyer, but kept Jeppson's Malört.
George Brode had fun with the marketing and held on to Malört for the challenge of trying to sell a drink many considered undrinkable, says David Brode, one of his sons.
"I think my old man loved challenges—period," he said.
Mr. Brode struggled for decades to expand the appeal of Jeppson's Malört. Then Ms. Gabelick took over and didn't have money to do marketing, running the company without a computer or staff. She contracts with a distiller in Florida to make the spirit; it is sold to bars and stores by two liquor-distribution companies.
Malört has had a cultish following among local bartenders. Charles Joly, beverage director at The Aviary, a Chicago bar, remembers being intrigued years ago by the rarely poured bottle at a dive bar where he used to hang out. His initial assessment of the taste: "stomach bile and dirt."
Over time, he learned to embrace Malört, partly out of pride for his hometown. "It is a Chicago ingredient. There is almost a certain responsibility to find a good way to beat it into submission," said Mr. Joly.
The mention of Jeppson's Malört tends to draw two reactions: confusion over what it is or a stream of stories about encounters with it.
Chris Bojanowski fell into the first category, but was intrigued, trying a shot at High Dive in the city's Ukrainian Village neighborhood. He took the shot, his face tensed and he swore.
"It's lingering. Its awfulness is throwing me for a loop," he said.
At the other end of the bar, Jim Mannion remembered the first time he encountered Malört. It was about a decade ago at a bar, and two guys who didn't get along kept sending shots of it to each other.
"It's not strong. It just tastes terrible," said Melissa Luety of the spirit, which is 70 proof.
Tom Vanek says Malört is a staple of his neighborhood bar, and he has been drinking it for a dozen years. Echoing a line used by fellow Malört fans, he says the first three shots are an assault on the taste buds, but by the fourth the spirit starts to grow on you.
"For better or worse, I've turned a lot of people on to Malört," said Mr. Vanek, a lifelong Chicago resident.
Enthusiasts of the drink held their first Jeppson's Malört night earlier this year, at a bar a few blocks from Wrigley Field. Seated near the back, Ms. Gabelick sipped white wine, steering clear of the Malört Manhattans and Malört Mojitos. She had one regret as 20-somethings gathered around her for pictures.
She wished her old friend George Brode was there to see people toasting the bitter spirit.
"I hope he is watching us," Ms. Gabelick said.

A common rant by internet users who bitch and whine about how today's music is 'shitty'. They fail to understand that everyone's music taste is different, and that it's another fashion. The phrase 'today's music' is commonly used by middle-aged people, but the younger generations also bitch and whine.
"I can't believe this is today's music! What happened to 80s music? Or (insert dead musician here)?! I can't stand this shit, even though I can just listen to my own music on youtube videos and download them, but I wanna bitch and whine because I'm old.

Are you happy with the large crop of pine cones that have appeared on your arbor vitae and junipers? Better take another look. The evergreen bagworm (Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis) builds cases that look just like pine cones but actually are their homes, so take a closer look before you congratulate yourself on the prolific crop on your evergreens.
The bagworms in those cute little houses are the larva of a moth.
When young, the bagworms are black and shiny on the top and dull amber on the underside. When fully grown, they are a dirty gray. The adult male then develops into a clear-winged, furry, black moth with a 1-inch wingspan, somewhat resembling large bees, while the female has no wings or legs and remains in the bag.
This bag is made of silk and material such as lichen, sand and soil, and in early fall when the bags are around an inch long, the larvae suspend them from branches, mostly on evergreen trees. The males then leave and seek females by following their scent, or pheromone, to a bag where they mate and then die because they do not have properly developed mouths. The females remain in the bag just long enough to lay hundreds of eggs, and then die and drop to the ground.
In May, the orphaned larvae emerge from the eggs and spin strands of silk that carry them to nearby plants to feed through the summer. If disturbed while on their journey, the larva will retreat back into the bag and hold it closed until the threat has passed. Their feeding on needles and leaves damages the trees and often is not noticed until the infestation becomes serious.
When the larva finds a favored spot, it will begin to build its own case. The silk used to attach it to a branch is so strong it can strangle and kill the branch it hangs from if left in place for several years.
Bagworms are found primarily in the eastern part of the country, although infestations are spreading as they all seem to do and have been found as far west as the Gulf of Mexico.
Arbor vitae and red cedars are favored by the bagworm, but they also settle on juniper, pine, spruce, hemlock, honey locust, apple, maple and sycamore trees. Recently, they have damaged orange trees in Florida.
So what can we do about them?
Some wasps and hornets feed on the larvae, as do woodpeckers and sapsuckers, but additional measures will be needed. Picking off the cases and dropping them into a bucket of soapy water is the simplest remedy, but obviously this will only work for accessible branches.
Spraying with insecticides such as carbaryl (Sevin) or acephate will work, but also will kill other insects including butterflies, moths and bees. Bt, an organic control, is somewhat effective and safe to use around children and pets, and pheromone traps will lure the traveling males in, but like Japanese beetle traps, they will also lure them to your yard.
If you have bagworms in trees, be sure to rake and burn any debris under the trees in the fall.
It seems new species of destructive insects are being discovered at an alarming rate these days. Add bagworm attacks to the emerald ash borer, gypsy moth, Asian long-horned beetle as well as the wilts, mildews and rusts that are always with us.
Health insurance for trees, anyone?

So you're about to graduate college – congrats! What now?
As the economy recovers, so does the job market, allowing new opportunities to emerge. This is great news for those who are currently in college! However, many of these jobs require candidates to have more than an undergraduate degree. It is predicted that 2.6 million new jobs will be created between 2010 and 2020, and that individuals with masters or doctoral degrees will be the ones to fill those spots.
Many students are turning to graduate school as a way of carving a niche for themselves in today's competitive job market. Grad school can be a risky bet which could land you in a deep pit of student loan debt, or it could result in a dream job with a six-digit salary. Such a commitment requires a great deal of research, and with the growing number of programs offered it can quickly become an overwhelming process. Meeting with advisers and professors is a great starting point, but most students will want to do some investigating on their own. It is important to gather a wide variety of non-biased information, but with the endless amount of websites, books and blog articles dedicated to "facts" about grad school, it can be difficult to find high-quality sources. This is why I recommend U.S. News & World Report's annual Grad Guide.
Each year, U.S. News & World Report surveys thousands of programs and academic professionals to create a guidebook that helps students navigate the world of graduate school. For the second year in a row, eCampus.com has taken some key information from this elaborate, 200+ page grad guide and created an infographic to help students streamline their research. The goal behind this piece, as with all infographics, is to take a large amount of information and condense it into a unique graphic that's easy to understand. Similar to the 2013 grad school infographic, The Good & The Bad in Bad, this 2014 edition highlights trends regarding admissions, debt and salaries for the top five professional fields (Business, Education, Engineering, Health & Medicine and Law).
New this year is a section called the "Virtual Path", which describes the growth in options for online graduate programs. There is also the option to attend a partially online program, where some classroom attendance is required. Such opportunities are favored among non-traditional students who may have children or a full-time job. As this trend increases you will find that there are some great resources for affordable online education programs.
As graduate school becomes a more prevalent option for those holding college degrees, it is important that this decision is made with all of the right information at hand. This infographic should not be used to replace your grad school research, but it is a great way to quickly gather information and gain an understanding of new trends in the academic and professional worlds.
Good luck to all who join me in the pursuit of a higher-education!

Durango resident Charles Duane Kinney died Monday, July 16, 2012, at his home. He was 79.
Mr. Kinney was born to Justin and Bernice Kinney on Aug. 29, 1932, in Liberal, Kan. He was one of five boys. His family moved to Ridgway, where he grew up.
He enlisted in the Navy in 1952 during the Korean War. Mr. Kinney served on a battleship as a gunner and as a Seabee, a member of the Naval Construction Force, in several places during his four years of service, including Nagasaki, Japan, and South Korea.
In 1956, he married Rose Elaine Nelson in Ca�on City.
Upon his return to Southwest Colorado, he began working for the Colorado Department of Transportation in Durango. Mr. Kinney worked on numerous slides and recoveries on the passes between Durango and Ouray. He retired from the state after 31 years of service and continued to work for local contractors in and around Durango.
�Duane adored his grandchildren and loved to ride and care for horses,� his family said.
Mr. Kinney was preceded in death by his wife of 24 years, Rose Elaine Kinney.
He is survived by his sons Dan Kinney of Ignacio and Roy Kinney of Aztec; brothers Aaron Kinney of Olathe and Clark Kinney of Bozeman, Mont.; four grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
Cremation will occur. A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, July 21, 2012, at the Ignacio Community Church, 405 Browning Ave. The Rev. Randall Haynes will officiate.

Pity Dr. William J. Morton, a Pennsylvania urologist who had to untangle the "matted hair" around a "pus-oozing" scrotum that had "swollen to twice the size of a grapefruit" in a "disgusting use of quotation marks." The man whose scrotum this carnival of nightmares was taking place on "had injured himself in the machine shop where he worked, and had closed the laceration himself with a heavy-duty stapling gun ... used in putting up wallboard." As difficult as it might seem to not deserve whatever you have coming to you after that decision, just remember ...
Courtesy your nightmares
Imagine the citric acid is pus and you'll have the idea of it.
The poor scrotum was paying the wages of sin for its owner, a machinist who could find no stimulation more effective than frotting a high-powered drive belt. Yes, while his coworkers were at lunch, he was doing to industrial machinery what most of us do to old pillows with our ex-girlfriend's picture clothes-pinned to them.
The Casualty:
His left testicle and the 75 million potential genius children who lived there.
In an article like this, you expect a little castration; otherwise, where's the fun? But you certainly don't need to know a man exists who makes love to machinery that, in the act of claiming his testicle for its warrior charm necklace, hurled him across the room.
Once you reluctantly learn such a man walks the earth (with a limp), it's no surprise that his solution was to staple his scrotum shut and go about his day.
Parks Dept, believe it or not
Still, that had to have been weird for the janitor to find.
This is not a man thwarted by cartoonish violence or tattered genitals. This is an American machinist, modern heir to the smiths of yore! His lunch break makes "hyena tickler" look like a promising career. And when that whistle blows, the job is to screw machines before they screw you.
How It Could Have Been Avoided:
I don't want all of my responses to be "By not having sex with/on something unsexy," so I looked this up in the Office Safety Protocols. It turns out the only mechanical masturbation precautions are to wear eye goggles and wash down the belt when you're done so as not to spread diseases to your coworkers. The union guidelines add that you should limber up before and afterward by taking a bribe.
The Legacy:
Pennsylvania Grapefruit is a magnificent term.
Some things don't mix: Water and electricity. The Internet and civility. People of different races. Wait, NO! Sorry, these are very old notes.
God bless this country
In fact, we may have chanced upon the super-soldier serum.
One combination that will forever be wrong, though, is genitals and power tools. That's why a Maryland couple had the foresight to attach a sex toy to a reciprocating saw blade before they inserted it into the woman. After all, electric blades can't cut through plastic, right?
Oh dear Jesus lord in heaven with the angels and grandma.
The Casualty:
One physics lesson and an airlift later, doctors had learned the alien geometry of Ry'leh that splices holes and would keep them from ever enjoying sex again.
Ryan Murphy sneers at you
Doctor, does that look to you like a saw in a bifurcated vagiiiiIIIIEEEEEE!
This sliced vagina is even worse than the miracle of nature's destruction called childbirth, which at least comes with two free dinners: one when you date an unscrupulous man who swears he's wearing a condom, and the second when your body ejects a nutritious placenta.
How It Could Have Been Avoided:
If you're going to incorporate a Sawzall into your sex life, you're going to have to commit to permanently altering it for vaginal use. Safety demands it, and most couples want labia caked with sawdust about as much as finches want a birdhouse that smells like vagina.
The Legacy:
Jinkies, Scoob, this is like some nightmarish engineer (possibly a machinist?) worked overtime to devise an even more misogynist version of the vagina dentata. This monstrosity kills all who approach it, depletes its host and then turns inside-out to consume itself. That's not a sex injury; that's a Klingon apocalypse myth. A hole that contains other holes within it is not nicknamed but scientifically classified as a Hypervagina.
Get ready.
Like a lot of casual athletes, Boeing engineer Kenneth Pinyan's interests seemed like a terrible ordeal to nonhobbyists. But whereas most of us can acknowledge the thrill of scaling sheer rock or looking Russell Crowe in the eye, very few recognize the sacred mysteries of large-mammal group bestiality.
Oh jeez.
Not how you expected a horse molester to look, right?
This is the kind of case that just didn't happen before the Internet. If half a dozen people in the same geographic area had grown up as zoophiles, the government would be doing emergency water quality tests. And even if that happened, none of them would admit it to each other. Or get together to film it. Or abandon their dying buddy at the hospital. Or just generally convince you humanity should be burned from the Earth.
courtesy Seattle Weekly
Now that's more like it.
Pinyan had pulled this gag before, albeit with a gentler, more attentive horse: the kind of horse every guy dreams of marrying. A noble, shimmering horse that would look you in the eye as he spewed buckets in your colon and never once consider rupturing your rectum.
That was not the horse Pinyan chose to give himself to this time.
For shame, Warner Bros.
Faint praise, copywriter dude. Faint praise.
Pinyan's first warning sign was the animal's gel-spiked mane and serious request to be called by its stupid MTV nickname. The second major concern would have been that his sex partner was a horse.
The Casualty:
"Acute peritonitis due to perforation of the colon."
They say the worst thing in the world is for parents to bury a child, and the outer rim on that wheel of misery is burying your son after he was mortally wounded by horse penis. There are no words of consolation for the family of a man whose own body poisoned his equine-phallic internal injuries. It's the kind of thing that sounds really funny for a Van Wilder sequel, but is terrible in reality, much like the Van Wilder movies themselves.
How It Could Have Been Avoided:
Perhaps by having sex with fewer horses. Or more Shetland ponies. Or half a John Holmes. Or ... or ... gosh, there are so many wrong turns in the path to this fate, it's almost reassuring that nothing could have been done to stop it.
The Legacy:
Crack and Pinyan, obviously.

They are billed as affordable and safe ways to enjoy the experience of smoking without the health risks. Every day thousands of customers across the country "light up" e-cigarettes, a new product that is taking the online world by storm. E-cigarettes consist of cartridges filled with nicotine and other chemicals, spiced with flavors such as chocolate, cola or bubble gum. The "cigarette" typically lights up as it vaporizes the nicotine-chemical cocktail, which it delivers as steam to the user.
As sales for the devices, market as a healthy-living product, have skyrocketed, the Food and Drug Administration became concerned. Exactly how "healthy" were these cigarette substitutes?
The FDA began testing them and it quickly discovered that the e-cigarettes, like their smoking counterparts, are hazardous to the health. The samples from various manufacturers contained dangerous carcinogens. Further, at least one manufacturer's mix contained diethylene glycol -- a chemical used in antifreeze, and a toxin to humans.
Dr. Jonathan Samet, director of the Institute for Global Health at the University of Southern California comments, "We know very little about these devices, but to say they are healthy -- that's highly doubtful."
Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, commissioner of the FDA adds, "The FDA is concerned about the safety of these products and how they are marketed to the public."
One of the largest manufacturers of the devices, Florida-based Smoking Everywhere has remained mum on the reports. The devices do appear, thus-far to be legal as a combination drug-device product under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Dr. Jonathan Winickoff, chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics Tobacco Consortium urges people to think of the children, commenting, "It is very important that parents let their children know these are not safe and to make recommendations, or even enforce rules that they not be used."
Dr. Matthew McKenna, director of the Office of Smoking and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention adds, "Children who use these products may also be using other tobacco products. It's a good idea to make sure the child is aware of the dangers of tobacco in products in general."
quote: So under what circumstances is nicotine NOT metabolized into those harmful byproducts?
quote: I really don't care if people smoke these - it is their own business.
quote: To some extent I agree. With socializeed healthcare being thrusted upon us, people choosing to do things that increase medical expense, by association, increase the cost to the public as a whole.
quote: There are a pleathora of dumb choices people can make that are well within their legal right, but ultimately may cost them long term health, and then the public gets stuck with the bill. I for one am for legalizing certain drugs, but NOT if public health care is passed. If a person wants to smoke pot, smoke pot, I don't care it does not impact me, but when your broke and cancer ridden later in life I don't want to be the one stuck paying for you care.
quote: ... or maybe it's all just a lottery and mankind's common vices get blamed because of the religious taint present far too often with conservatives.
quote: I for one am for legalizing certain drugs, but NOT if public health care is passed. If a person wants to smoke pot, smoke pot, I don't care it does not impact me, but when your broke and cancer ridden later in life I don't want to be the one stuck paying for you care.
quote: Ironically one of the major metabolite of nicotine cotinine (as well as nicontine itself) have shown promise for improving neural activity and treating schizophrenia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
