That's def a Whale, a Bomber of ZD?
You run a beer store and you are trying to move your other product, so I empathize with you in that regard. However, to say you have a beer that can replace the ZD craving, like two hearted, is asenine and transparent. ZD is arguably the best hoppy beer the Midwest has produced ever. Until another regularly available citra ipa or apa rears it's head in distro (sucks sucks), you will continue to pine of your ZD woes.
Agreed, I just started giving people beer that they won't go get themselves that I know they won't be able to get soon, even at the expense that I won't be able to get it for a while either (sucks, FIS). Spread the Love, it comes around. And no, I've never had zombie dust
I didn't say I could recommend a beer that would replace a ZD "craving", as I don't know of any other single-hopped Citra Pales or IPAs distributed in our area, and even if there were, Floyds' house ale yeast strain is arguably even more responsible for the flavor than the hop bill. Rather, I was lamenting the behavior of much of the craft beer community with regard to ZD. I've seen grown men throw tantrums over not being allowed as much as they want, as well as others who go from store to store purchasing as much as possible each week, leaving little or none for those who have never tried it and would be content with a 6pk every month or two. One could certainly say this behavior isn't limited to Zombie Dust, but in my experience, it's even worse than with other rare beers (bourbon-aged limited releases, etc) because it is produced year-round, and people seem to exhibit feelings of entitlement to Zombie Dust that I don't see as much with other beers (be it because they love zombies, are bigger fans of Three Floyds, haven't had any in two weeks, etc.) My opinion of the beer itself is inconsequential, but it's undeniable and widely observed that douches and hoarders exist everywhere, including the beer community, and I've witnessed a disproportionate amount of hoarding, blind-allegiance, and tantrum throwing when it comes to Zombie Dust in particular.
I truly can't complain though. While I have to field questions about the stuff all day, there's always plenty of Mirror Pond, Alpha King, Racer 5, and other out-of-this world beers around for me to stock up in that might not be there if Zombie Dust wasn't distracting so much of the community. Cheers!
Its on tap right now in Granville, Ohio at Brews.
no dust in bottles in milwaukee from what i have seen but there has been plenty on tap lately. Go to discount on 51st and oklahoma they have all the 3floyds we can get here, which is quite a bit
Hope they have some when you go.. it's not always available 100% of the time.
Zombie Dust wouldn't be the success it is were it named "Fairy Dust".
The marketing and art make this decent beer extraordinary. I'll text you a video of me drain-pouring it if you don't agree with everything I say.
I'm not that fond of the packaging, and I hate zombie garbage as a whole because it's been so overdone in movies/TV shows, games, etc.
Drain pour!
I had never had ZD then I got one from a first time trader. Dam good, now I know what all the hype is about.
I can honestly say I have not had a bad beer from FFF and I have had a few
Apocalypse cow
Arctic panzer wolf (was decent)
Red Wytch
Alpha King
And after Huna day I aim to get myself a DL.
Would you point us in the direction of a better pale ale that we can find in Chicago?
It's not a matter of better, so much as it is that Zombie Dust is just, "meh". I would argue that Alpha King is far better. But, you know, beer reviews are totally objective.
I'd say AK and ZD are pretty much on par, the only difference is the hops used and like, .2% abv. But thanks for pointing us to an equally hard to find beer from the same brewery no less.
Hey, you asked!
I don't know where you're from, but in the midwest, AK flows from our faucets!
ZD is on tap in at least 2-3 different bars in Chi at any given time. I mention this because I won't travel specifically to a bar because they have AK on tap. ZD? Different story. It is the quintessential all citra APA/IPA.
I'm drain-pouring a Zombie Dust, just for you tonight.
Can anyone compare the ZD to Lagunitas Sucks? Ive not had ZD yet- trying to setup trade now. The LS is the most citra heavy beer Ive had - its really too much citra for my taste, but my Pliny loving girlfriend is nuts about it.
I occasionally do blind taste tests with my faves to find a new #1 (I highly recommend it, have someone else pour and wear blindfold). So far I like then Green Flash West Coast IPA as my #1 (thank god its everywhere!), then maybe Firestone UJ and Blind Pig. Although the Pig is milder hops than I really want, I call it Bland Pig but still love it.
Is it me or does ZD taste more like an IPA than an APA? An APA is ususally more balanced I thought. This damn thing is fully of hoppiness goodness.
Hoping to make my first visit over to the land of 3 floyds for dark lord day. Hoping to be in the nirvanal state that you're in. Dark Lord, Zombie Dust, Dreadnaught, Gumball, so many to try!
Looks as if I just completed a trade for ZD. Safe to say I'm pretty ecstatic!
yes you did and you will enjoy, damn storm is going to delay your package however
This is an early contender for post of the year.
http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/144/88074 I've had this beer and zombie dust before, you would be surprised at the similarity. You can defiantly tell the difference but it's not as big as one might think.
Closest thing I've tasted to ZD is Citra Ninja, nearly identical juicy citra notes, just massively different malt bills.
Yeah it was the greatest thing ever when I finally got my hands on it. But now living 20 minutes from 3Fs the novelty has worn off. I think 3Fs has a number of better beers than ZD, not that anyone thinking ZD is the greatest thing ever is wrong.
I guess you have to drink a beer a "few hundred" times to decide you don't like it.
Never heard of citra ninja before but you've peaked my interest. Maybe you and me should start hyping that beer until everyone glombs onto it and then we can drink our ZD in peace.
It's gotten plenty of hype, it's just a timed release and when it's gone, it's gone. It's the #1 best new beer of 2012, from the #1 best new brewery in the world, Pipeworks.
I wouldn't compare sucks and ZD, they are way different. I hosted a DIPA tasting two weeks ago with Sucks, Hopslam, Double Jack, Pliny, Hopmouth, Arctic Panzer, and Palate Wrecker...
Sucks and Hopslam were rated the top and very close, followed by Double Jack then Pliny.
ZD just doesn't have the same body to it as the DIPA's and for good reason, its not a DIPA, but you can drink more than 1 or 2 ZD at a time, plus for Three Floyd's its relatively inexpensive..
If you want a Three Floyd's beer to compare with Sucks you should try Dreadnaught, it's one of their most balanced beers and its the same style.
Dreadnaught is one of my favorite beers and I really like APW as well. Usually if I can find one or the other i will grab at least one. With that being said we got ZD down here in KY a few weeks ago and it exceeded the hype. It is one of the best beers I have had, and then I had Rye Da Tiger. I think I like it more than ZD
this beer was great before it was called zombie, before it had a label, and fff shit has always been scarce. get your shit right, its about the beer, not your alleged marketing.
i love it every bit a much as the first batch of cenotaph...i really dont get why people think its in demand because of zombies...fucking ridiculous
those kegs didnt kick as fast because not as many people knew about it/not as much hype.
gigaknight if u think red chair and antihero compare to it, just say so. dont make shit up.
^^^ Settle down sir.
Yep, best beer out there.
Hop King will be at the brewery Wednesday for a stopover.
Definitely a fantastic beer worthy of its accolades.
i searched beer menus for the availability of three floyds near jersey, philly, nyc...im coming up dry on all fronts...does the east coast really get the stick with certain beers or am i just getting unlucky? lol i really wanna try some of their stuff

Subliminal messages- reprogram your subconscious mind for total success with our powerful subliminal messaging software: Subliminal Flash and Subliminal Images.
How do you feel about yourself? It can be measured in terms of Self Esteem. If you hate your looks or your actions or your surroundings or how you feel then you probably have low self esteem. While on the other hand having high self esteem doesn't mean that you are arrogant or above everybody else. Treating yourself well, loving and respecting yourself, regardless of your defects is the true sense of high self esteem.
The life of a teen is very emotional, mainly because of their crazy hormonal activities, and also due to the fact that they are getting to see things in different perspectives. They get puzzled and overwhelmed about all the changes in their lives like new challenges, situations and relationships which leaves them afraid and irritated. This kind of feelings can totally change the happy and energetic child.
Mood swings are not confined to teens only, adults too experience them. If our emotions are not released through the right channels then they can clog up our minds or our bodies and get us angry stressed and anxious, and spoil forthcoming situations.
Expressing emotions and dealing with emotional problems is not taught to the children and that is where the problem lies. You firstly are not taught this in school and secondly most of the adults don't have formal training in how to release emotions beneficially, so there is no coaching for the children. This creates problem in the relationships and can also affect the self esteem of the teen and parents alike.
Frustration, anxiety, anger and humiliation are just some of the emotions teens' experience. But now there are simple, fast effective and easy ways to get rid of these emotions.
The first thing is too search for a place and time where you can be alone for a while and where you can focus and wont be disturbed or get distracted.
Next you make a mental note of all the things that bother you. Let your inner mind and heart tell you what they are. You don't have to agree will all of the case, but keep your eyes closed and note the emotions that are generated.
Now take one emotion or issue at a time visualize it filling your entire body and then picture blowing all that emotion into a balloon. Essentially take the emotion out of your mind and body. One thing that you will observe is the changing color of the balloon while you blow your emotion into it. Because of the negative energy that you are blowing into it, it may change it color to brown or black. As soon as you are done filling the balloon, visualize yourself tying it and letting it float up into the sky. Continue in the same way, filling balloons, tying them and letting them go until you feel absolutely relaxed. Allow yourself to feel peaceful.
Now when you look up into the sky you will see all those negative balloons. What you need to do is visualize them coming together and forming a big, black cloud, and remember that you have pushed all your negative emotions into that cloud.
The next step is a little difficult but not impossible. You will have to forgive all of the people and circumstances involved in those negative emotions. Even the not so apparent ones have to be forgiven. Remember you are only hurting yourself by clinging on to your anger and resentment.
To move forward you will have to forgive yourself and let go of all the times you've been bad, made mistakes, been embarrassed and ashamed.
Once you do that and then look into the sky, visualize the bright and comforting and warm sun coming out and dissolving the entire cloud of negativity. Let go of all the negativity and feel the warmth, peace, comfort and love of the sun all over and within your body. Talk to yourself and say that your ok and that you love and accept yourself.
You will have to find something about yourself that your really value. Something like and act of kindness, a talent or skill, your strength, your love of animals, people, your intelligence, your sense of humor, your spirit. Stop for a moment that and really appreciate that essence of you. Believe form within, that you are good and value yourself and accept yourself for it.
For this technique use your imagination to the fullest, use different color balloons, visualize blowing them up past their limits so that they pop and splat everywhere.
With the help of this technique you can improve you self esteem, balance your emotions, let go off the bad and negative energy.
Would you like to boost your self-esteem and reprogram your subconscious mind for total success?
It has never been so easy! Re-program your subconscious mind by listening to these free positive affirmations enhanced with subliminal messages:
One more video (for men only), how to become an alpha male (subliminal affirmations, use them daily):
And one more useful recording:
For best results use these affirmations on a daily basis, listen to them in the morning and the afternoon and don't expect results to happen instantly. Affirmations are basically a re-programming of the mind. So it all takes time.
But affirmations really do work.
They've worked for me and they continue to work for me because I make affirmations a part of my life.
Everything begins with a thought. So if we change our thoughts, we can change our life, our external influences.
Would you like to boost your self esteem in less than 2 weeks? Try our powerful subliminal messaging software. We guarantee amazing results after 5-14 days of usage (7 uses are FREE, so you have nothing to lose, just try it out!)

The sluggish economy has retailers competing for consumers' discretionary dollars. If store-level systems and customer-facing solutions deliver a poor experience, however, shoppers will be sure to spend their money elsewhere.
While business-intelligence and monitoring systems can shed light on IT breakdowns, the results are often after the fact, delaying remediation. But business transaction intelligence solutions could transform retailers' reactive approach. Senior editor Deena M. Amato-McCoy chatted with Marc Borbas, VP marketing at Burnaby, British Columbia-based INETCO Systems, about how to create an enterprisewide view of IT performance, and how to boost productivity and the customer experience at store level.
Chain Store Age: What issues do retailers face when monitoring and analyzing their POS systems?
Marc Borbas: The biggest is that they lack a consolidated view of store-level performance. If issues arise, it takes time, sometimes days, to figure out what happened. That is where business transaction intelligence comes in.
CSA: What is business transaction intelligence? Who would use it and for what purpose?
Borbas: We see it as a new category and an emerging customer requirement.
This system can reside at headquarters and view activity storewide or enterprisewide. Then retailers' IT groups can use the data to bridge performance across their infrastructure and operations from headquarters down to store level. It allows retailers to align the customer experience and IT infrastructure.
While there are many areas where this solution can be applied, the initial focus will be on the front end, since this is where retailers tend to touch customers the most. More specifically, retailers will use information to optimize payment transactions and reduce customer-related issues resulting from negative experiences that can happen at checkout.
CSA: How is this different than existing business-intelligence and monitoring systems?
Borbas: Typically, business-intelligence solutions work hand in hand with data stored in data warehouses. By querying stored data, retailers can improve business decisions. However, this is historical, not real-time, data.
What makes business-transaction intelligence different is its focus on seeing transactions from the customer touchpoint all the way to its impact on infrastructure.
IT typically monitors servers and concepts that touch the end users via stored data. This evolving concept, however, looks at the actual transaction and how it flows in real time, end to end across IT systems.
CSA: What trends are driving the need for business transaction intelligence?
Borbas: As retailers increase their focus on the customer experience across increasingly complex multiple channels, they need an application that can make sure operations are efficient.
Typically, retailers are looking at their operations from the bottom up. They analyze statistics based on servers and network links, and then they guess what the experience looks like based on these numbers.
Business transaction intelligence, rather, looks at the experience from the customer perspective, then bridges out to systems performance. The help desk no longer has to monitor the server and assume that since it looks busy, POS performance may be slow. Now the help desk can see exactly which lanes, in which stores, are slow.
By gaining a real-time view, retailers can pinpoint issues much faster and manage operations better, which leads to productivity gains.
CSA: How effective is business transaction intelligence for improving the end-customer experience?
Borbas: It's very effective at uncovering how the performance of IT systems impact the quality of the end-customer experience. By understanding where transactions are slowing down or failing, retailers can find ways to optimize the IT infrastructure to deliver the best possible customer experience.
CSA: What features should retailers consider when looking to invest in these solutions?
Borbas: This is a system that will be most heavily used by help-desk and network-operations-center personnel. It needs to be highly visual, able to detect and alert users to performance issues in real time, and help operators rapidly isolate the source of performance problems (e.g., network, application, servers, etc.). Ideally, this should be accomplished without agents that can slow down or disrupt critical production systems.
CSA: Since retailers are struggling to operate in this economic downturn, will they consider this a priority?
Borbas: Chains' main focuses are on productivity and efficiency gains, and improving the customer experience.
Since this system supports both goals, it is crucial that this solution is considered an IT priority during this tough economy.

So, you want to be a motoring writer?
You probably think it's all fast cars and launch events in awesome locations. Actually, there's quite a lot of that; car writers are a very lucky bunch. The really hard bit is stringing together a coherent series of sentences under severe deadline pressure, to produce a story that real people will actually enjoy reading.
You might have noticed that automotive journalism is not merely technical writing. Yes, you must inform.
But as Alexander Pope once said, you must also entertain. Throwing in a few literary references doesn't hurt either; makes you seem quite sophisticated and clever. Not at all pretentious.
Anyway, in order to make that colourful, entertaining prose flow through the keyboard, you might have noticed that motoring writers have their own distinctive language. Their own bespoke phraseology. You might think that's simply another way of saying car writers thrive on lazy cliches, but that's absolutely not the case.
In fact, such phrases speed up the transition of experience and analysis into beautiful prose. It's something we want to share with all aspiring motoring writers: so below, we publish the twenty most used phrases in motoring journalism, with their true meanings.
So you want to be a motoring writer?
Simply construct a story from rearranging the list below. In no time at all, you will have 500 words of highly polished prose that will instantly establish your credentials as an automotive critic.
"There is some understeer at the limit
What it means: All cars understeer if you drive much too fast into a tight corner. That's what I did.
"The rear breaks loose under power when you're pressing on
What it means: I read in the press kit that this model is rear-drive. That scares me a bit.
"The ride is superior on the smaller wheel-and-tyre combination
What it means: My specialist subject is the bleeding obvious.
"The cabin is ergonomically excellent"
I found it really easy to plug my iPod into the stereo system.
"The cabin ergonomics are flawed"
"I could not find the port to plug my iPod into the stereo system.
"This is an under-rated car"
What it means: I recommended one of these to my Gran and now she can't seem to sell it.
"It's a very easy car to live with"
What it means: I left it parked at the airport for three days.
"The steering lacks feel"
What it means: This car has electric power steering. So it is a modern car.
"We decided to really put this vehicle to the test"
What it means: I was moving house and borrowed a van. Now I have to write about it.
"Interior packaging is excellent"
What it means: I was able to fit that large piece of furniture I purchased into the back.
"Poor packaging lets the interior down"
What it means: I could not figure out how to fold the seats down. I could not be bothered reading the manual like an owner would do.
"This car has an undeniable cool factor"
What it means: I felt compelled to drive down Ponsonby Road several times and show off.
"This car suffers from image issues"
What it means: When I drove down Ponsonby Road, people laughed at me.
"Supercar performance in a practical package"
What it means: I have never driven a proper supercar.
"During the official launch programme, we really stretched the car's legs around Hampton Downs"
What it means: I drove badly around a racetrack, accompanied by an instructor who yelled at me.
"Excellent value in the premium segment"
What it means: Being a journalist I cannot imagine having this much money to spend on a car. I suppose some people must, though.
"Unnamed sources have told us"
What it means: I read it on the internet.
"Details of this eagerly awaited model will be released next week"
What it means: We're really hoping somebody from the PR department will send us a nice picture because we still have half a page to fill.
"In an exclusive interview"
What it means: We had dinner with people from the car company and a whole lot of other journalists. I recorded the conversation and wrote the interesting bits down.
"Surprisingly thirsty"
What it means: I was asked to put fuel in the test car before returning the vehicle to its rightful owners. I had never realised fuel was so expensive.

Drive Set Attendance Record in Loss
Attendance of 7,176 is a record for a Drive game at Fluor Field
By Cameron White / Greenville Drive | June 4, 2014 10:43 PM ET
Greenville, SC - Wednesday night at Fluor Field brought 7,176 fans to the game, setting a new attendance record for a Greenville Drive game. The game itself wasn't as successful for the Drive (29-29), as they dropped the series finale to the Lexington Legends (25-34) 9-3.
The previous attendance record for a Drive game at Fluor Field was 7,129, set on May 31, 2009 when John Smoltz made a rehab appearance for the Drive. The record attendance for any game at Fluor Field was set on March 1st, when 7,182 fans were present for the Reedy River Rivalry matchup between South Carolina and Clemson.
The game was all Lexington, as they struck first in the third inning and never looked back. Mauricio Ramos hit a one-out double to left, moved to third on a flyout and scored on Fred Ford's RBI single.
The Legends would strike for four more runs against Drive starter Jamie Callahan (3-5). Luis Villegas doubled in the fourth and scored on Alfredo Escalera's single. They added three runs in the fifth thanks to a Drive error and RBI singles by Carlos Garcia and Dex Kjerstad.
Those runs were more than enough support for Jake Junis (6-3), who hurled seven outstanding innings for the Legends. He gave up five hits and one run while walking three and striking out four.
The Drive struck for their lone run against Junis in the fifth on a double play groundout after back-to-back singles by Jordan Weems and Carlos Coste. They added a pair of runs in the eighth on an RBI double by Carlos Asuaje and an RBI single by Kendrick Perkins.
Lexington scored four times in the top of the ninth to add to their lead, with the highlight being Garcia's two-run homer to right. He led their offense with a 3-5 night and three RBI. Ford, Dominique Taylor and Ramon Torres added two hits apiece.
Weems collected three hits to pace the Drive, and Perkins chipped in with two hits.
The Drive begin a four-game road series against the Rome Braves on Thursday night at 7:00. RH Teddy Stankiewicz (4-3, 3.71) will take the mound for the Drive, and RH Tyler Brosius (0-3, 5.06) will start for the Braves.

The Expediency of Culture: Uses of Culture in the Global Era
€ 106,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Januar 2004
BeschreibungDeals with global flows of capital, information and popular culture, questions of hybridity, identity politics, postcoloniality and the state, with a focus on Latin America.
InhaltsverzeichnisIntroduction; 1. The expediency of culture; 2. The social imperative to perform; 3. The globalization of culture and the new civil society; 4. The funkification of Rio; 5. Parlaying culture into social justice; 6. Consumption and citizenship?; 7. The globalization of Latin America: Miami; 8. Free trade and culture; 9. Producing the cultural economy: the collaborative art of Insite
PortraitGeorge Yudice is Professor of American Studies and Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Literatures and Director of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at New York University. He is the coauthor of "Cultural Policy" and coeditor of "On Edge: The Crisis of Contemporary Latin American Culture."
Pressestimmen"The Expediency of Culture is nuanced in its examination of the power brokers, those enabled but also broken or damaged at the intersections and interstices of empire and transnational capitalism."--Global Media and Communication, 1 (1) "George Yudice's book demonstrates more clearly than any other I know how deeply and inextricably culture is today, in the era of globalization, embedded in economic circuits and political regimes. His provocative analyses of the function of culture in contexts throughout the Americas give us a new and powerful model for cultural studies."--Michael Hardt, coauthor of Empire "The present substantial book ... confirms the nuanced complexity and importance of Yudice's work... [T]his learned volume offers a coherent perspective on the links between urban locality, national territory, transnational and global commerce in culture, and mobile group identities. Highly recommended."--Khachig Tololyan, CHOICE "This book takes a broad sweep at understanding new cultural forms. It accounts for local and global changes and suggests an instrumental role for the arts in the future."--John Knight, Leonardo "[T]he best parts of Yudice's book are dedicated to case studies of just such institutional reconversions. In examples that range across the Americas, he presents detailed analyses of particular examples of complex negotiations within expedient culture... Yudice's description of the emerging model of culture and his attentiveness to the effects of international monetary policy and global economic interests on culture are convincing and they serve well as a corrective to an overemphasis on issues of representation and interpretation in the practice of Cultural Studies today."--Elizabeth Walden, Culture Machine "Expediency of Culture represents a major contribution to the field. It is crossdisciplinary in its scope and manages to provide a sober and balanced assessment of the challenges confronting cultural activists and reformers. The issues raised are important in the age of terrorism and governmental spin-doctoring, a theme dealt with in the final chapter. What might advocates of culture as resource offer to the war on terror? Will appeals to community prevail? Where does the anti-globalization go from here? These are important issues and Yudice is challenging us to reassess our understandings of how culture works on the social. I hope that this timely publication will bring Yudice's work to a wider readership."--Michael Keane, Continuum "Yudice monitors an ethical pulse to culture's utilization. Through careful analysis of cultural events and collaborations (including the national politics of samba, Afro reggae, and funk music in Brazil; Rio de Janeirian citizen initiatives of Viva Rio and the Associacao Internacional Arte Sem Fronteiras; the Zapatista movement in Mexico; Miami-based media production targeting a hemisphere of Latin consumers; and the triennial inSITE art exhibition on the border between San Diego and Tijuana), Yudice avers that cultural policy is influenced not only by 'corporations, the media, foundations, politicians' but 'sometimes even citizens' (286)... [N]uanced..."--Kendall Johnson, American Literature

The regular: Thanksgiving edition
Thu Nov 22 2007
Photograph: Meghan Petersen
RECOMMENDED: NYC Thanksgiving guide
The place:
The Central Park Boathouse (Central Park Lake, park entrance on Fifth Ave at 72nd St; 212-517-2233)
The diners:
The Moss and Sher families, most of them native New Yorkers (with the exception of Uzbekistan-raised Laura, 72, the Moss matriarch, and her South African son-in-law, Phil Sher). The Mosses have a long history of public service in New York City—Laura's husband, Alan, 75, spent 22 years serving the Parks Department under Mayors Lindsay, Koch and Giuliani, eight of them as first deputy commissioner. Their daughter Anita works for the Office of Emergency Management, and their son, Jeremy, who now toils in commercial real estate, spent his summers home from college painting lampposts for the Central Park Conservancy. "We're a very civic-minded family," explains Alan. Not pictured is the Newman family ("The Cambridge Contingent" in Moss parlance): Alan and Laura's daughter Elisabeth, a child-psychologist, her husband, Aron, and their three-year-old daughter, Hannah.
The routine:
Alan and Laura Moss have gathered the 10 members of their extended family (including two sons-in-law and three grandchildren) at the Boathouse each Thanksgiving for the past decade. "I feel at home when I enter a park facility; it's very comfortable and warm," says Alan.
Their holiday starts at about 8:30am, when the family takes to the bleachers at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (they are among the few to have reserved seats). "Whether it snowed, rained or shone, we were at that parade," says Laura, who has been bringing her children to the spectacle since 1967. They arrive at the Boathouse by noon and dispatch the grandkids (Ian, 8, Megan, 6, and Hannah) to feed bread to the snapping turtles in the lake. The Mosses, along with the estimated 1,300 other Thanksgiving guests at the restaurant, feast on four courses (for as many hours) before rolling home.
The order:
The classic $65-per-person Thanksgiving prix fixe features sliced local turkey marinated in garlic, parsley and thyme, sweet-potato puree with toasted marshmallows, and cranberry relish with oranges and crushed pineapple. Each year, Jeremy looks forward to the first course—a lobster bisque or a mushroom velouté—but Laura's focus is the fowl: "It's Thanksgiving!" Only Phil opts out of the traditional meal in favor of salmon with artichokes, pearl onions and butter lettuce. "If you didn't grow up [in this country], you don't develop a taste for turkey," he says in his South African lilt. He succumbs to the American agenda when it comes to the pies: This year it's pumpkin.
They say:
"Our mother cooked dinner the one time we did stay home," recalls Anita, the oldest of the Moss children. "She didn't grow up in this country so she wasn't as familiar with the traditions. We came to the table and what did we find? Turkey burgers!" Laura, who had her first Thanksgiving in 1955 as part of a foreign-studies program at New York University, counters that "in Uzbekistan, we were so happy to have anything that was put on our plate. I'm a Holocaust survivor; every day is a gift. You're talking to someone who is overwhelmed by the fact that I am here and that I have a family." True to the under-ten set, Ian has a more whimsical take, "I'm three-quarters thankful for [my sister]."

This depends on what underlying systems you are using. In general, this does not matter for disk io though since, as you say, even if you use unbuffered IO the disk IO still reads a disk block at a time and as such ends up with a small buffer preventing repeatedly hitting the disk. Having said that though, the overhead of the function calls adds up quickly, especially when they talk to OS buffers due to a lot of additional checks that the OS has to perform which you can avoid if you buffer yourself.
I did do a test on this at one time. Using a simple fread 1 character at a time versus simply reading the entire file and then parsing myself, the result was about a 1:5 ratio in favor of the manual parsing. On the other hand, when I used C++ ifstream and the generic read line function, it turned out to be as fast as the full file version which suggests the C++ streams are pretty smart about behind the scenes buffering.
All said and done, I know that the calls to the underlying io functions are generally fairly slow so you want to avoid that. Other solutions though, you just have to test them yourself. It should also be noted that I ran this test several years ago on WinXP, it could easily be completely out of date by this time. So, test test test..
Thanks for the great answer!
I have doubts this concern is meaningful. While loading data from disk is necessary and might be performance-critical in some situations, I strongly suggest to keep away from it for all serious use only good reason being memory management.
It's more curiosity than concern, really. I don't think any way would actually impact performance noticeably in my case.

having said that this does look like a pretty cool gun/round.
This is a discussion on NEW GUN! RIA 22 TCM, a .223 on a necked down 9mm case in a 1911 package, 2100 FPS within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Isn't this basically a new 5.7x28mm round?...

having said that this does look like a pretty cool gun/round.
I carry a .357mag because no one bickers about the .357mag being "enough".
As a few others have said this round does indeed look like another 5-7, the one big difference being that it may work well in other platforms, i.e. G19, G17 exc. The only reason I could see this round doing well is if someone put out a 9mm carbine that had an easy barrel swap out so you could use Glock 9mm mags with .22 tcm ammo in a carbine. That would be cool to me, but as a pistol round? Nope. Sorry.

If you like toys, you buy this now. If you want personal and home defense you buy FN. Until someone shows me that this firearm is as good as an FN in reliabilty and every other standard that a reasonable person should use to judge a fiream that will be more than a toy, IMO, that is all it is. New products, even from the manufacturers who a reasonable person would put on the A List, sometimes have problems. Always open to newbies in 57 field and look forward to seeing real critical reviews over time. This goes for this firearm and the Excel firearm currently in production. Yes, I currently have an FN 57 and it is perfect. There is a list of the many law enforcement agencies and even the secret service who agree with me, not to mention the BGs like drug cartel/dealers and the Ft Hood moslem terrorist (there I said it--sorry Obama, Napolitano and Holder---would someone please try him already and hang him?).
When I leave the home port:
S&W 642 Airweight, Ruger SP 101, Colt Detective Spec., CZ RAMI, Kahr PM9, Kahr CW40, S&W Model 10-7, Glock 30, 19, and 26, Browning Hi Power, CZ82, Colt Commander, Dan Wesson PM7, Ruger LCP
A 40 grain bullet at 2100 fps, isn't that comparable to a .22 WMR?
I think the 5.7, although I don't have the numbers right now, would be a much better option. 5.7x28 vs 5.56x19, are they both using the same .224 bullet?
It is interesting, but we'll have to see how it performs after a year, or so, on the market.

"A heavily armed citizenry is not about overthrowing the government; it is about preventing the government from overthrowing liberty. A people stripped of their right of self defense is defenseless against their own government." -source
The American Handgunner's most recent issue discusses the round and says it's based on the .223 case. That would most likely be stronger than a necked-down 9mm case. It does say teh pistol in the article can be converted to 9mm by replacing the barrel. "Supposed" to be some 300 fps faster than the 5.7.

I love you guys. I've always wanted to be a curmudgeon and I now have a good chance: what is wrong with the venerable .45 ACP?
I guess I'm asking what the advantage of a 5.7mm or .22 TCM might be? And are those advantages needed by the average civilian carrying for personal protection?
I carry a .357mag because no one bickers about the .357mag being "enough".
Interesting in the January / February 2012 American Handgunner Magazine article they say that a 40gr. 5.7x28 out of the FN Pistol averages about 1650ft/sec which equates to about 242ft-lbs of energy. The 40gr. .22TCM is clocked at 2050ft/sec which equates to about 373ft-lbs of energy. I am guessing with hotter loads for this round you will be approaching over 400+ft-lbs of energy !!! This is a pretty interesting round to say the least. I am sure in the future when it is released to the public there will be a lot of comparisons and analysis between the .22TCM round and the 5.7x28 round. More choices for us !!! God Bless
I'm trying to figure the purpose.. I like additional capacity, so I own a CZ SP01 with 20 rounds of 9mm in it. why goof around with a less powerful untested round?

Crow Wing County leads state for successful completion of drug court
Crow Wing County reported it leads the state in drug court participants successfully completing drug court.
Of the 62 participants who have been discharged from Crow Wing County Drug Court 48 completed the program. This 77 percent graduation rate is the highest in the state. In comparison, the statewide graduation rate from drug court is 54 percent. "Drug Court completers are less likely to commit new offenses, more likely to improve overall community functioning and less likely to be incarcerated during and after drug court," said Tami Lueck, who supervises chemical dependency services for Crow Wing County. "We are pleased to see our county significantly exceeding state averages with the drug court model."
The mission of the Crow Wing County Drug Court is to enhance public safety by decreasing criminal recidivism through community supported, judicially supervised treatment of substance abuse. The first drug court in Minnesota started in Hennepin County in 1996. Drug courts include a judge, prosecutors, defense counsel, treatment providers, probation officers, law enforcement and other community leaders working together with the defendant to address their addiction and recovery. Crow Wing County Drug Court started in June 2006 and has served 80 offenders. Currently, Drug Court is serving 23 participants.
Lueck said the county drug court model also demonstrated success in other key measures for those dealing with chemical dependency issues. Persons interested in viewing the data can go to: http://www.mncourts.gov and see the most recent statewide evaluation of drug courts.
Among the data:
■ Crow Wing County drug court participants who completed the program had no new offenses while participating in the county program.
■ 88 percent of all participants had 2 1/2 years or more from the start of the drug court program with no new offense.
■ 89 percent of participants were employed upon discharge from the program.
■ 74 percent of participants had stable housing upon discharge, compared to 39 percent upon entry into the program.
Melanie Quillin, a social worker with the Crow Wing County Community Services Department Chemical Dependency unit, stated the program's success is due, in part, to its holistic approach to assisting people.
"The unique team approach with goals not only focused on sobriety but other factors that impact a person's life such as housing, employment, relationships and education, lead to the program's success," Quillin said.
Quillin encouraged people interested in more information about drug court or chemical dependency services offered in Crow Wing County to call Chemical Dependency Intake, at Crow Wing County Community Services at 824-1140 or visit the website at www.co.crow-wing.mn.us.
Crow Wing County Community Services provides chemical dependency services to more than 300 adults each year.

MedWest-Harris installs new high-tech systems in labor and delivery unit
SYLVA — MedWest-Harris completed installation on two systems that will enhance the level of care provided to mothers and babies on the labor and delivery unit located on the third floor of the hospital.
The technology that enables physicians and nursing staff to monitor a baby's progress during labor was replaced with a new system outfitted with features that provide the most advanced upgrades in fetal monitoring. Physicians can log in from any computer to monitor the real-time progression of mothers and babies during labor, allowing them to instantly see important changes and manage their time efficiently on the unit with all of their patients. Nursing staff completed training on the new system and have been using the technology for several weeks.
"This fetal monitoring system is an incredible advancement for our hospital. Now we will be able to make sure a fetus is stable from any location with internet capability," said Janine Keever, MD with Smoky Mountain OB/GYN and Fellow of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
There will be several upgrades allowing for improved care for babies needing respiratory assistance due to respiratory distress with or without pneumonia. The labor and delivery unit at MedWest-Harris is classified as a Level II or "specialty care" nursery, which means physicians and staff are trained to care for babies who are breathing on their own but have conditions that require close monitoring and additional medical treatment.
"Our Level II nursery provides enhanced services and care for near-term and term newborns otherwise not found west of Asheville, in this southwest region of North Carolina," said Charles Toledo, MD with WNC Pediatric & Adolescent Care and Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The recent updates in technology are in place in advance of a major renovation to the facility, planned to begin this spring. The New Generations Family Birthing Center is a $3 million upgrade to the labor and delivery floor, which will include a Caesarean section operating room on the unit as well as other improvements to the physical space. The MedWest-Harris and Swain Foundation is heading up the fund-raising efforts for The New Generations Family Birthing Center.
"Our physicians, midwives and nurses deliver and care for nearly 650 babies at MedWest-Harris each year," said Vicki Lewis, director of comprehensive family services at MedWest-Harris. "We are pleased to provide our community with these improvements in technology and surroundings so our physical space will match the level of care we've been providing to families for years."
Changes and upgrades will also take place in the special care nursery. Included will be enhanced monitoring and improvements in delivery of therapeutic modalities.
For information on the facility or how to donate to the campaign, call the MedWest-Harris and Swain Foundation at 631-8924.

Harry potter and the deathly hollows
Book Review by: victoriadudley102
Status: Finished
Genre: Mystery and Crime
Harry potter and the deathly hollows was about killing and fitting . harry potter trys to run for his life because lord voldemort is gonna kill him but harry has to find the hexies so lord voldemort will only have one life left to have .

Okay, so this review is all wrong.
First of all, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is not about "killing and fitting." And that word is spelled F-I-G-H-T-I-N-G, by the way. I can't say everything it's about because there are just too many back stories and such to summarize in one measly little review. The main plot is that Harry, Hermione, and Ron miss their entire seventh year at Hogwarts in order to search for the six HORCRUXES (not 'hexies,' as you said) so that Harry will then be able to eliminate the seventh part of Voldemort's soul which is actually contained in Voldemort, thereby killing Voldemort altogether.
We also see A TON of development of Hermione's and Ron's relationship. Ron runs away at one point in the novel, and Hermione is dreadfully depressed until Ron comes back, then she freaks out on him. A few chapters before the end, Ron says something sweet and un-Ron-like, and Hermione kisses him.
We also learn a lot about Dumbledore's past. Such as: he had a little sister but he accidentally killed her while hanging out with a friend (whom he later defeated - long story -), his brother is the owner of the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade, and he knew that Harry was also a Horcrux.
You're probably confused about the title, aren't you? Well, since you read the book, I guess you're not, but whatever. The Deathly Hallows are three magical objects that, upon acquiring all three, render the possessor "invincible." Harry already has one (the Invisibility Cloak passed down to him from his father), and then the other two are the Resurrection Stone and the Elder Wand. While searching for the Horcruxes, Harry also finds out many new things about the Hallows and about his past along the way.
Like you said in your review, a lot of people do die in Deathly Hallows, but the story isn't all about death and destruction. It truly is a well-written, bold masterpiece, and I absolutely love this story.
They're not showing off, they're just explaining what they know about the book. Christ.
Sorry dude, but I definitely have to agree with skatiehall here.
what ever !! my review not yours

Arsène Wenger has stressed the need for Arsenal to act responsibly in the transfer market this summer.
The manager has funds at his disposal and revealed at his pre-match media briefing that he will look to reinforce his squad with some quality additions.
But Wenger insists he plans to do business sensibly and will not pay over the odds for any new recruits.
"I think it is the responsibility of a football manager to behave in a responsible way, of course," he said.
"It is a situation for the fans which I can completely understand. But we are in a job where other clubs do not respect the basic rules of any other company and we have to live with that.
"You cannot think that if there is not enough money to run the company then someone else [will] come in and give his money. That is not how we want to run the company.
"Of course, the economic situation is difficult for people and for us as well. But we demand some understanding because we have to fight against clubs which have unlimited resources. They put pressure on our wages. How can we deal with it?
"They do not live with their natural resources which is why UEFA want to fight for the fair play."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

|Hi! My name is Sarah. I make glass beads.
I create my beads and jewelry in my little home studio in Tel Aviv, Israel. I share my home with an adorable orange cat named Moby. Well, okay, he shares his home with me.
I discovered the art of lampwork – creating beads by melting colorful rods of glass over a flame – in late 2005. After an 8-year long career in web design, feeling frustrated and unfulfilled, I randomly stumbled across a link for a glass beadmaking class for beginners and I thought I'd give it a try, just as a new hobby, something to expand my horizons and possibly restore my motivation for designing websites. I never expected molten glass to change my entire life around, but from the moment I made my first bead, I was hooked. Okay, my life is going to be about THIS now.
|Within just a few months, I closed my web design studio and decided to become a full-time beadmaker.
It's been a fantastic life so far. The magical world of glass beads provides endless creative possibilities, and with an endless range of color and transparency, form and design, it never becomes boring – there's always something new to discover! I feel that color is one of the most important aspects of my work, and I enjoy both exploring different ways of combining glass color and experimenting with the 'mad scientist' side of things.
I have been lucky to travel the world and teach beadmaking in many different countries – 11 so far! I love traveling and it's always great to meet new people who share my passion for glass.
Over the past couple of years I've been exploring a new direction – designing jewelry with my own beads, which is both challenging and very satisfying. Jewelry design is a whole new world, and I hope to continue learning to work with different techniques and materials as I go along.
When I'm not making beads, or doing something else that has to do with beads, I enjoy writing, taking pictures, drawing abstract doodles, cooking vegetarian food, spending endless time on Facebook, playing mind-numbing computer games and vegging out in front of the TV.
I hope you enjoy my new website. My blog will be updated frequently, so please do check back often!
If you have any questions or comments about me and my work, feel free to use the 'Contact' link in the menu to send me a message.

Internet activist Aaron Swartz took his own life one year ago today. He was 26 years old and facing federal hacking and fraud charges for downloading millions of academic articles using MIT's network. Before his passing, he was on outspoken advocate for freedom of information and a founder of Demand Progress, the nonprofit that invigorated a successful grassroots effort to fight the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in 2012.
Swartz was, as WIRED's Kevin Poulsen wrote a "coder with a conscience," and in a clip premiering today on WIRED from director Brian Knappenberger's forthcoming documentary The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz, more than a few web visionaries remember him for the important work he did and the legacy he created.
"I think Aaron was trying to make the world work – he was trying to fix it," says World Wide Web founder Tim Berners-Lee. "So he was a bit ahead of his time." He's later followed by Creative Commons founder Lawrence Lessig, who notes "he was just doing what he thought was right to produce a world that was better."
Swartz's fight for rights online has only been brought more intensely into focus in the year since his death, largely due to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. To see him talk about government spying in this documentary at a time before the Snowden leaks is especially chilling now. But thanks to Knappenberger's documentary – and other actions being taken to remember the internet activist – the conversation he started can continue.
"Now we are all submerged in a massively networked world where every important part of our lives has an online component to it," said Knappenberger, who managed to Kickstart and finish his documentary in just a year. "Geeks and hackers already knew this but, thanks to Edward Snowden, now everyone realizes it."
Check out more from Knappenberger's documentary, which is headed to the Sundance Film Festival later this month, in the clip above.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Cancer variants found in 'neglected' region of genome
Mutations outside of genes associated with disease
By Tina Hesman Saey, 14:39 PM October 3, 2013
Parts of human DNA that do not contain genes but instead turn them on and off may be just as vulnerable to cancer-causing mutations as protein-producing genes are, a new study finds.
Using computer programs to comb through the DNA of 88 cancer patients, researchers identified 98 mutations in gene-regulating parts of the genome that may be causing the patients' breast, prostate or brain tumors, the team reports in the Oct. 4 Science.
The findings may help researchers better understand which gene...
