Celery's Taking Root
Dietitians used to encourage the overweight public to gnaw on sticks of celery, claiming the fibrous, watery stalks required more calories to chew than they had in them. It's thinking like this that doomed the vegetable to become a bland canvas for preschool classics like ants on a log.
But mass-produced, stringy celery has led diners away from its true potential. Instead of hiding beneath a slather of peanut butter and a few shriveled raisins, celery can thrive as the centerpiece in an Alsatian tart that plays up the plant's juiciness with traces of bitterness. Or its root ball can be sliced into noodles and pickled in a mustard vinaigrette. Chefs can't use diced and packaged varieties from the corner store for these kinds of dishes. Instead they turn to preservationist-minded farmers, who cultivate forgotten, more appetizing strains.
Celery actually has hundreds of varieties— from France's rare A Coste Piene Rosate and Italy's Dorato d'Asti to China's Heung Kunn and the widely dispersed Giant Prague Celeriac. The stalks are not a uniform pale green. They range from blood reds to bright golds to electric whites and deep greens. But every part of the plant can inspire invention: The roots can be pureed, the leaves fried, the stalks turned to foam.
"The strength of flavor with the heirlooms is not even like comparing white bread to wheat bread. It's more like comparing generic white bread to old-world, artisan-baked loaves," says Richard Andres, a farmer in Chelsea, Mich. "It's high-octane." He grows two varieties of exotic stalk celery, the Conquistador and the Tango, and Giant Prague Celeriac.
The root ball of heritage celeriac has an earthy, nutty taste that is lively on the tongue when paired with vinegars. Roasted, it accomplishes naturally what the potato needs a vat of seasoning to do, with hints of coriander and caraway. The leaves—often trimmed and forgotten—are considered to be a cleaner, deeper cousin of cilantro. And the stalks provide a crisp texture that carries traces of a carrot's sweetness, parsley's bitterness, fennel's licorice and caraway's anise—all cousins of the plant. "It has so much character. There is no other vegetable with such an intense flavor," says Daniel Humm, executive chef at New York's Eleven Madison Park.
Celery's earliest cultivation dates back at least 3,000 years. It originated around the Mediterranean and was primarily used by ancient civilizations as a medicinal herb. (Egyptians boiled it to drink as a contraceptive tonic.) By the Middle Ages, it had evolved into a staple vegetable across Europe and Asia. Of the varieties still extant, the Chinese Heung Kunn has one of the oldest traceable pedigrees—wild variants of it were used as far back as the fifth century before it became a farm crop. The Giant Prague, on the other hand, is a relative neophyte, first grown in its current form in the mid–19th century.
"A lot of these seeds have been around for hundreds of years, and while we're alive, we are the active link to preserve them," says Randall Agrella, a horticulturist for Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds in Mansfield, Mo. Agrella has seen the market increase exponentially in the past five years for rare strains of every vegetable, including celery. His company carries four celeries, among them the Giant Prague and Zwolsche Krul, a Dutch variety that looks like curly parsley.
Specialty celery isn't something that shows up in the home kitchen often, Andres says. It's difficult to work with because of the potent flavors and tough texture—but it can sometimes be tracked down at farmer's markets and specialty stores like The Orchard in Brooklyn, N.Y. For Laurent Gras, the classically French– trained chef and co-owner of L20 restaurant in Chicago, getting the right produce is as important as his search for perfect oysters. Celery's cachet isn't in its pricing (this is not the kind of ingredient that gets fedexed overnight ) but in being sourced locally and to specific standards.
Andres grew up during the '70s back-to- the-land boom. After working a couple of menial jobs, he started Tantré Farm in the late '80s, one of the first community-supported agriculture programs. Today he dedicates half an acre of his farm to celery, and belongs to an informal collection of farmers near urban centers who have created a niche for "produce with super-concentrated flavors."
Sixty miles west of Andres's farm in Chelsea is Kalamazoo, the former nucleus of the commercial celery industry in the U.S. A Scottish farmer named George Taylor is credited with bringing the first plants here in 1856, where they thrived in the fertile muck surrounding the city. His initial experiment was quickly taken over by thousands of Dutch immigrants who had settled in western Michigan and who cultivated the crop during the latter part of the 19th century. Multiple varieties still made it to market until World War II, when blight and diminishing water supply pushed the industry to California. There, celery could be grown year-round and variety was sacrificed for steady production.
The vast West Coast operations are limited to the common varieties Pascal and Golden Heart. The stalks are only faintly green, while heirloom celery often has a deep hue that animates chefs. "The darker the color, the more nutritious and the deeper the flavor will be," Andres says. His stalks glow like neon tubes. Andres lets his celery's leaves run wild, creating a botanical afro. "We give it freedom. We don't want to treat it or train it," he says. Commercial growers trim back the leaves to encourage stalk growth, essentially reducing the vegetable's flavor potential by a third.
"Celery is the kind of thing you don't want to compromise the flavor of," says Gras, whose more scientific approach to the vegetable includes compressing the texture of the roots. He does this by filling a sous-vide bag—a type of airtight container—with the root balls and a hefty shovel of sea salt. "I let it sit overnight. The salt enhances the natural flavor, bringing out the sweetness," Gras says.
He also creates a celery hat trick with his Beef Tobacco dish. "We like to get into the deep flavor of the ingredient with the sweetness and bitterness," Gras says. He begins by roasting the root in sea salt and then steams, purees and sets the stalk and leaves with a starch to give it some body. (Pureeing also electrifies the color.) The mixture is finished with emulsified butter to enrich the celery. All of this is incorporated with the beef and additional emulsions of cranberry and huckleberry for the final dish.
Once in the kitchen, celery stalks and roots must be cleaned and carved with the same care as for sashimi-grade bluefin tuna. "We use sharp kitchen knives to pare out every fiber," Humm says. Even missing one string can make it feel like you're eating a ball of dental floss. "Celery goes from great to terrible more easily than any other vegetable."
What to Drink with Celery
Winemaker Marcial Dorado made this salty little wine with the high-wired grape that is called Albariño in Spain. The wine is breathy yet focused—a swig of this and the celery's earthy flavors are vastly intensified.
For robust meat preparations: a cult producer in the Northern Rhone. Collectors shunned the 2002 because of the region's floods, making this a bargain with the grace of a Kentucky Derby winner who has been chomping on black olives and herbs.
This bright yellow wine appears to have been tailor-made for taming more aggressive, nose-to-tail celery preparations. Its flavorsome mix of honey, bitter and chamomile qualities embraces and soothes the vegetable beast.

WSJ. Contributing Editor William R. Snyder asked Rodger Bowser, the executive chef at Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, Mich., for some of his favorite dishes. Bowser buys his celery direct from Tantre Farms, a certified organic farm outside of Ann Arbor.
Alsatian Celery Tarte Tatin
This recipe really is all about the power of good celery. It has this amazing presentation as well with the green celery mixed with the red onion, surrounded by this flaky crust.
Pastry Crust:
1 1/4 lbs. flour
3/4 lb. butter
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup water
1 egg yolk
2 lbs. celery
2 lbs. red onions
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil
1 lb. ham
3/4 lb. Gruyère or Comté Cheese
I like to use a pan that can go from the stovetop to the oven without any trouble. So a nice large 10- to 12-inch sauté pan with a metal handle works perfectly.
Mix pastry crust first and set aside to rest while you make the rest of the dish. (For the crust, cut flour and butter together first, then mix in salt, water and egg yolk.)
Wash and dice celery. Dice onions. Toss together and start to sauté with a little salt and olive oil. Caramelize the onions and celery together in the pan. It should take a good 20 minutes. After the celery and onions are well caramelized, turn the heat off and set pan aside. Slice ham. (I use a peppered ham: Arkansas Peppered Ham from Ham I Am.) Grate the cheese. Roll out your dough into a circle at least 2 inches bigger than your pan. You want it to overhang by a little and the crust will shrink during cooking as well. So make sure you roll it bigger. Next, layer the ham evenly over the onions and celery. Then layer the grated cheese. Cover with the pastry dough and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until the pastry is fully cooked and brown. Remove from the oven, let rest for 10 minutes, and flip over onto a serving platter. Serves 6–8.
Celery Leaf Salad
More often than not, the celery's leaves are chopped and discarded. In fact, it can be difficult to even find them still attached to stalks at larger grocery chains. But they're a worthwhile leaf and a competent aromatic that falls somewhere in the scent category between cilantro and parsley. So, next time, save the leaves and toss them into this simple salad.
1 lb. buttercrunch lettuce leaves
2 cups chopped celery leaves
2 tbsp. red table wine or red-wine vinegar
2 diced shallots
2 tbsp. hazelnut oil
salt and pepper
drop of honey
3 tbsp. olive oil
Mix together the ingredients for the dressing and then toss in the greens. Serves 4.
Braised Celery Stalks
While reporting for this story, William R. Snyder tampered with a few celery recipes to see what each element tasted like. This one is a variation on a standard for softening and slow-roasting celery stalks. It's a touch sweeter than the standard style, but is blissful with a fatty pork chop.
2 tbsp. butter
1 bunch heirloom celery
1 yellow onion
a couple of chopped chives
salt and pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup chicken stock
2 tbsp. honey
First remove celery leaves and set aside. Then use a vegetable peeler to scrape out the strings on each stalk. Slice the stalks into thirds and place in a greased glass baking dish.
With a frying pan on the stovetop over medium heat, melt the butter, add the sliced onion, celery leaves, chives and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the onion is tender. Add the white wine and reduce almost entirely (this will take a few minutes) and then pour in the chicken stock. Let that reduce by half. Pour that mixture over the stalks and then drizzle on the honey. Cover with foil and roast at 325 degrees for at least an hour or until the stalks are very soft when poked with a fork. Serves 4–6.

A thousand feet below us lay our accommodation for the night - an isolated mountain refuge set in deep snow beside two small frozen lakes. From the steep ridge on which we balanced, we watched the last rays of the sun bathing the Mont Blanc range in golden light, while immediately south were the jagged towers and rock faces of 3,051m Aiguille de Fruit.
To reach this dramatic spot had required a strenuous bout of "skinning" on touring skis (the rear binding released for ascending and "skins" attached to the base to provide uphill traction). We were way above the lift-accessed pistes of the Trois Vallées resort of Courchevel 1650, but had only got here thanks to a week of training with the Eagle Ski Club in how to tackle every type of snow condition from untracked powder to the worst possible crud.
The course, based in Méribel, aims to introduce beginners to the skills of ski touring, or improve the techniques of those who already have some experience. It sounds like hard work, and it is. So why would you choose this option over simply peeling back the duvet and enjoying a leisurely breakfast of hot buttered croissants before taking a short ski-boot stomp to the nearest chairlift?
Well, if you really want to see the mountains in all their glory, and in an eco-friendly manner, ski touring is the way to go. This is how skiers enjoyed the mountains before the advent of lifts, and the sport is enjoying a bit of a resurgence among those who want to exchange the hubbub of lift queues and busy pistes for the untracked wilds of the back country and the gentle soughing of the wind across open snowfields.
The Eagle Ski Club organises everything from resort-based ski touring and more strenuous multi-day hut-to-hut tours in the Alps and Rockies to full expeditions in the Arctic and remote mountain ranges such as the Ak-Shirak mountains of Kyrgyzstan.
But to go ski touring, you need to know how to ski in all conditions, and an introductory course such as the one in Méribel shows you how to do it far more quickly and safely than teaching yourself. It's also vital that you have some knowledge of how to recognise potential avalanche slopes and perform an avalanche rescue before venturing away from the groomed runs.
This was apparent as we traversed a small snowfield beneath the 2,734m summit of Roc Merlet while making our ascent. A rapid series of "whoomps" skittered beneath the surface like lightning strikes, the sound of a recently fallen layer of snow compressing beneath us and a sign of potential avalanche conditions. My heart almost stopped; our guide Laurent carried on regardless. "The slope isn't steep enough to avalanche here," he said.
By the time we'd reached the ridge, the late afternoon sky was a palette of reds and oranges and deep azure. The highest peaks of the Alps surrounded us and we took time to admire the kind of isolated view that's unattainable when piste skiing before taking on the challenge of a slope varying from crust to powder, which was where the week's ski training came into its own. Even so, by the time I arrived at the refuge I was plastered in snow from a couple of head plants, and ready to enjoy a warming glass of wine beside the wood stove.
Set in a high, isolated bowl to the south of Courchevel, the refuge was as far removed from a traditional ski resort as you could get. However, we weren't able to enjoy the warmth of the stove just yet, for no sooner had we dumped our rucksacks full of equipment and food than Laurent had us back outside practising avalanche transceiver work in the rapidly gathering gloom. This is a vital skill when striking out into the backcountry - each skier wears a transceiver which transmits a signal allowing them to be located should they have the great misfortune to be buried by an avalanche.
By the time we finished, the sky was speckled with stars, the temperature was down to -10C and it was so quiet that I swear I could hear the one shooting star I saw. We stumbled back into the refuge, where the wood stove had been stoked up by a French couple also staying overnight, and we enjoyed our food and wine by candlelight before retiring to basic but cosy bunks for the night.
Leaving the refuge before sunrise next morning, we soon warmed up with an ascent to a col which gave access down to the Vallée des Avals and then back to Courchevel 1650. This time our high point revealed pale yellow dawn sunlight on Mont Blanc while a sliver of moon still hung above the glaciated peaks to the south-west, and then we enjoyed a tiring but exciting mix of powder skiing, survival skiing (ie no technique and lots of falling) and poling along the flat valley bottom to arrive back in Courchevel 1650 just as the hoi polloi were hopping on to the first lifts of the day.

The study aims to investigate and address the mathematical difficulties that many students present transitioning to undergraduate Engineering courses. To this end data were collected to identify how age, gender, mathematical background, and preferred learning styles relate to outcomes on a mathematics diagnostic test. Both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis were used to analyse the data. Our findings complement findings from previous research. We compared students with BTEC, GCSE and A/AS level qualifications, and related qualifications to study habits.

Authors: Attridge, Nina; Aberdein, Andrew; Inglis, Matthew Abstract: There has long been debate over whether studying mathematics improves one's logical reasoning skills. In fact, it is even unclear whether studying logic improves one's logical reasoning skills. A previous study found no improvement in conditional reasoning behaviour in students taking a semester long course in logic. However, the reasoning task employed in that study has since been criticised, and may not be a valid measure of reasoning. Here, we investigated the development of abstract conditional reasoning skills in students taking a course in formal logic, using a more sophisticated measure. Students who had previous experience of logic improved significantly, while students with no previous experience did not improve. Our results suggest that it is possible to teach logical thinking, given a certain degree of exposure.

Our analysis revealed complex interrelations between patterns of emotions and aspects of mathematical learning. We conclude that 'negative' feelings might sometimes lead to positive consequences on the activity of individuals and conversely, that 'positive' feelings do not necessarily lead to positive outcomes. Hence, pedagogical practices should aim to foster a range of emotions that can open possibilities for students' success.

A Music Information Retrieval Dataset, Made With FMA
You may recall some news we shared last summer about a music dataset that was in progress - now it's complete!
Michaël Defferrard, Kirell Benzi, Pierre Vandergheynst & Xavier Bresson, a team of researchers interested in MIR (music information retrieval), have put together some audio datasets using the FMA's collection! They have written a paper about the FMA's potential as a viable and legal option in digital audio research. Since recorded music is often fraught with copyright concerns, machine learning sets for music have been hard to find, or not sufficient for some projects. You can find the datasets on GitHub.
The FMA's dedication to the Creative Commons philosophy of sharing has been a boon for artists, educators, and researchers - as well as, of course, listeners! Hopefully this dataset will be widely adopted for use by MIR researchers. It seems to have already been well-received via Twitter:
A great big THANKS go to this team for thinking of FMA and sharing our collection with a new audience, for a new purpose, in a new way! We look forward to the cool projects that will stem from their efforts.

Audio Cookbook Rules & Guidelines
Recipes are not subject to copyright! (Yep, it's true.)
But there are just not enough songs about recipes, or containing recipes, to satisfy us. We want you to help make our songs-about-food dreams come true!
Do you have a favorite recipe (or five) you'd like to share with the world? We have just the opportunity: the FMA's Audio Cookbook! It'll be an audio compendium of recipes, all free and dedicated to the Public Domain using the CC0 Public Domain Dedication tool, so anyone can use the recipes however they'd like.
So, here's how it'll work:
- Choose a recipe you want to share. (If it's from a cookbook that's still protected by copyright, it's OK to share the ingredients and the directions - but any commentary or descriptive wording should be your own. Don't plagiarize, or you'll get disqualified.) Don't have a recipe in mind? Check out our resource page for inspiration!
- Compose a song or make a recording containing the recipe. Songs must contain a recipe to be eligible for the Audio Cookbook. Recipes must be for food or drinks; recipes for home cleaning products, for example, are not eligible. Questions? Email us at contact [at] freemusicarchive [dot] org.
- Submit it on the Audio Cookbook album page (along with your FMA username, the name of the band/artist, song title, and please include the text of the recipe from which your recording was derived - or a link to the place where you found it). You must have an FMA account to submit a song; if you don't have one, sign up for free here. Songs are reviewed before they are 'published' so if you notice yours doesn't pop up within a day or two, let us know.
- Rinse and repeat as many times as you like!
Make sure your song is original - singing a recipe to a traditional (read: public domain) tune is fine, but putting your words to a current song that's protected by copyright can get us into hot water! Please don't do it.
We will accept entries from Wednesday, May 24 2017 until Friday, June 30 2017. One lucky artist or band will be selected as the reigning Audio Cookbook champion, and they will win a prize for their efforts!
Want to record yourself givng instructions for how to make a favorite appetizer, entree, dessert or drink, maybe with some musical accompaniment? Do it!
Want to get arty and record the sounds of veggies being chopped up, or something sizzling in a pan, with narration? Sounds tasty!
Want to write a ditty with the recipe of your choice as the lyrics for the song? We want to hear it!
Want to liven up your Aunt Gertrude's recipe for zucchini bread with some harmonica and throat-singing? We strongly encourage you to do so!
Is your favorite recipe a surrealist series of instructions that results in a three-foot-tall sandwich that nobody could eat? Well, okay, that's cool too!
However, we gotta draw the line somewhere. If it doesn't contain a recipe for SOMETHING (theoretically) edible or drinkable, we won't share it. Rules is rules, and we don't want anyone poisoning themselves with your ah-mazing idea for kitty litter ice cream. Save it for another contest.

May 8 Outage Postmortem
Our sincerest apologies for the FMA site outage this morning which lasted from roughly 7:00 EDT until 14:00 EDT. In the interest of increased transparency about the FMA's operations, I've decided to write this brief entry describing what happened today. We have a very small staff and I wasn't able to begin rectifying the outage until about 11:30 EDT.
What happened?
Certain types of requests made to the FMA's servers are logged directly in our database. The size of these logs reached a point where the hard disks on our database servers were filled to their capacity. When that happened, the database servers (a master and several read-only replicas) became completely unresponsive. Since the site relies entirely on our database cluster, no pages could be rendered and no api requests could be completed--end users saw a giant error message!
What was the solution?
As soon as I was able to begin working on the problem, I put the maintenance page up and began downloading a snapshot of the logs which filled the database servers' hard disks. This took much longer than anticipated. Once I was able to retreive the data, I truncated the tables in question (truncated meaning deleting all data in the tables--a database table is similar to a spreadsheet). After that, I waited for the read-only replicas of our master database to catch up. It's not enough to restart the site with only the master database running--the site depends on the read-only replicas as well. I waited almost an hour for the read-only replicas to catch up, but they didn't. Due to the nature of our hosting provider, it was faster to delete the read-only replicas and create new ones. That took another several minutes. Once the replicas were rebuilt, I was able to restart our front-end servers and restore the site to normal operation.
How will we prevent this from happening again?
Logging directly to a database is definitely bad practice, but it was implemented on FMA many years ago by the original development team. For now I will keep my eyes on database disk usage and will set alerts to let me know I need to do something before the disks fill up again! Longer term, I will move all logging activity to a separate service, for example just flat log files. Unfortunately, FMA is no stranger to outages, but whenever they happen, we try to restore service as quickly as we can and take steps to prevent similar outages from happening subsequently.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Yes! FMA operates with a tiny staff (2 people) and extremely limited resources. The best way to help is to Donate! If you are a developer and have any technical suggestions, please write to me directly at [email protected] - We greatly value input from our users and the community. We're dedicated to making the FMA the biggest and best resource for Creative Commons licensed, and other royalty-free music, anywhere on the Internet.
What is this song?
One of my all-time favorite FMA tracks, and an adequate description of how it feels to finally fix a major outage.

Nothing.... Again
One does get bored of sand dunes after seeing them endlessly for a day. The sun beat down ontop of the jeep, magnified through it's glass onto the people inside.
The Jeep went over yet another (You getting the feeling that I don't like these?) sand dune.
Landing with a thud, causing the wheels to skid on the endless amount of sand. Sand which gets everywhere, never mind about the dunes out there, I was thinking of the mini dunes in my shoe.
Deserts are one of the most extreme living conditions to, well, live in. Dangerous with, god knows how many traps just waiting for that one foolish step, playing tricks on the mind. I looked out the window, and saw weird waves in the distance, not so much water waves as air waves.
With a sigh I leaned back into the chair I was sitting in, seething with how stupid I was for agreeing to this.
It was impossible to sleep in the jeep, with all the 'flying leaps', as well as the crappy air conditioning, if you can call it that (it seemed to do more harm then good), with windows that only went an inch down to allow in the limited amount of breathing air that circulated throughout the jeep. Ugh and the Smell!!! Four sweaty men including me.
The driver began to smoke yet anothe cigarette, causing the intensly, unimaginable heat, become unbearable. My shirt was sticking to my back, a pool of sweat soaking it.
Sighing again I looked out the window at the endless sand and the laborus sun, and began to wish that I was back home, with civilization.
But no, instead I am following this endless source which would most likely lead no nothing. Nuda!
Yet Again....

While GBP/USD is flat, the smart money is selling GBP/CAD today, with the CAD really benefiting from a significantly better-than-expected employment report. We believe GBP/USD remains a 'sell on rallies'. While positive news flow from Europe will certainly help the pair, traders remain of the view that in the longer term, the BoE could perform further gilt purchases. We would look to sell GBP/USD around 1.5960, however in the short term, the momentum trade is short GBP/CAD. UK data is thin on the ground today, although the Lloyds employment confidence report was released in early Asian trade, showing a mild deterioration in confidence with the index hitting negative 67. It is worth noting that net positioning held by speculative traders has shown another increase in short positions, which suggests that if we do see good news, the pair is at risk of short covering.

We get a lot of questions about the terminology used in the free bankroll business. It can be difficult for a new player to understand some of these terms. We hope that these definitions will help players with the terms related to free bankrolls and no deposit bonuses.
Available Countries – All free bankroll offers have country restrictions. An online poker room often uses free bankrolls to attract players from a certain region. They may restrict players from some countries because they do not service the country, already have saturated that country's market or have had trouble with fraud in that country. The list of countries may change so it is important to check the YourPokerCash free bankroll offers and blog often.
Bonus – A bonus is often given to a player when making their first deposit. Most online poker rooms will give a deposit bonus to any player on their first deposit even if they received a free bankroll first. A deposit bonus has clearing requirements that are often tied to the amount of rake paid and are often released in increments of $5 or $10. Bonuses usually expire after 60, 90 or 120 days.
Cashout – A cashout is when you receive the money that you won from an online poker room. You cannot immediately cashout your free bankroll or winnings. You must first meet a play requirement first. Once you meet that play requirement then you are able to request a withdrawal, also known as a cashout, from the online poker room.
Deposit – A deposit is made with the player's money through an ewallet, bank transfer, cash transfer, credit card or debut card. A deposit adds to the player's balance and may be played immediately.
Free Bankroll – A free bankroll is a bankroll that is offered by YourPokerCash partner online poker rooms. The player receives a deposit into their account at the poker room and may play immediately. The free bankroll may be withdrawn after meeting several conditions. These require that a player is new to the poker room.
Initial Bankroll – This is the amount of money that is deposited into a player's account at first. There is no requirement to receiving this bankroll once the player has passed a verification process.
Minimum Activity Requirement – Players that request a second bankroll must meet the bankroll requirements of their first bankroll before it can be approved. This minimum activity requirement is similar to the cashout requirement.
Pending Bankroll – The initial bankroll is paid immediately, while a pending bankroll has a requirement that must be met to release it. The pending bankroll may be earned through meeting a certain point requirement. This can be done with the initial bankroll or by making a deposit if you lose the initial bankroll. Think of it as a bankroll bonus for playing.
Pending Bonus Expiry Time – This is the amount of time that a bonus is active. A player that clears a bonus will receive a portion of the bonus in increments while they play. If the player fails to clear the entire bonus in the given timeframe, typically 60, 90 or 120 days, then the amount that they did not clear expires and they will no longer be eligible for it. Any bonus already cleared and paid will remain in the player's account.

The God of Death
The commander gave the order and the solders crowded the samurai. He barely could move with all of the dead bodies that he had just killed. The remainder of the army ran past him and strait for the village. When Swift realized this his anger came forth tenfold. Hi blade found another solder in the stomach and as he drew it out he placed his hand on the sword that was still in his enemies sheath. His aura showed rage in the purest kind. He was no better than a wave of the sea washing over grains of sand.
His swords were in perfect rythm. One two, one two, one two. His blades cut through enemies thrice at a time. Through the force of deamons that stood between him and his village. He reached it before the enemy.
He now stood between them and his beloved village. "I will give you a choice. You can die and the village can live or you can both die." The general shouted above the army. Swift simply thrust his middle finger up. The army charged. Swift shouted at the top of his lungs and brought the blades to a striking, no a slaughtering position. He jumped at said army. twisting and turning he stabbed ans slices, cut and stroke. no matter what the only thing he had to show that he ever had a fight was a slight cut on his cheek. Upon reaching the commander he rased his borrowed blade and brought it down onto his head breaking it over his skull. He died on the spot. They once again retreated.

The Catholic Church's stance on gay rights continues to be a source of confusion, as official acceptance of LGBT people emerges on a seemingly intermittent basis.
Following the recent synod, Pope Francis has again spoken out about homosexuals – as he said the Catholic Church must help parents to stand by their gay children.
But at the same time he maintained that gay marriage was still not on the Church's agenda.
The seemingly contradictory statements came in an interview published just a day after Francis urged the Church's top theologians to listen to what ordinary Catholics have to say and pay attention to the "signs of the times".
Speaking to La Nacion, the Pope said that leaders had a duty to help "famil[ies] to deal with that somewhat unusual situation".
"What we did talk about was of how a family with a homosexual child, whether a son or a daughter, goes about educating that child, how the family bears up, how to help that family to deal with that somewhat unusual situation," he said.
"That is to say, the synod addressed the family and the homosexual persons in relation to their families, because we come across this reality all the time in the confessional: a father and a mother whose son or daughter is in that situation. This happened to me several times in Buenos Aires.
"We have to find a way to help that father or that mother to stand by their son or daughter."
But he said that "nobody mentioned homosexual marriage" at the synod because "it did not cross our minds".

1/12 The Pro-Gay Pope
In just a year, Pope Francis has managed to change the public perception of the Catholic Church, and the stance it takes on civil issues, like gay rights. Despite originally protesting the legalisation of gay marriage in his native Argentina some years ago, he told reporters this year: "If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?"

2/12 The Rebel Pope
No other Pope has urged a shake-up of the Catholic Church quite like Pope Francis, a true rebel of the dioceses. Who, incidentally, used to be a night club bouncer.
Getty Images
3/12 The Graffiti Pope
Pope Francis become... SUPER POPE in this Vatican-approved street art. But was he happy with the reference to the fictional DC comic character?"To depict the pope as a sort of superman, a sort of star, seems offensive to me. The pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps tranquilly and has friends like everyone else, a normal person," he said. So, that's a no, then.
4/12 The Biker Pope
Yes, the Pope used to own a Harley Davidson. And yes, he auctioned it off this year and donated the proceeds to a charity that feeds the hungry in Rome. Very Papal.
5/12 The 'Blue' Pope
Dropping the 'F' bomb during Sunday service? Classic Pope Francis. Sadly, down to a Spanish-speaking slip of the Italian language rather than pure bad-assery.
6/12 The 'Because I'm Worth It' Pope
That awkward moment when your Papal hat blows off, forcing your barnet into Sesame Street-like spikes. Pope Francis has been there.
7/12 The Chocolate Pope
Imagine the Pope's delight (horror?) when he was presented with a giant chocolate replica of himself outside the Vatican by by students on a chocolatier course at the Accademia of Maestri Cioccolatieri, near Venice.
EPA/Osservatore Romano
8/12 The Rock Star pope
The one and only religious leader ever to grace the cover of Rolling Stone magazine? Introducing... Pope Francis.
9/12 The People's Pope
His U-turn attitude towards sexuality won him Time magazine's coveted Person of the Year accolade, and the cover of gay rights magazine The Advocate.
10/12 The Merchandise Pope
Thongs, mugs, onesies, earrings and even a baby mobile adorned with decapitated Pope heads, the 'Francis Effect' has seen sales of Papal merchandise soar by 200% over the last year.
11/12 The Fashion Pope
The only Pope, as far as we're aware, to be compared to fashion royalty (Karl Lagerfeld. Yes way.) and win Esquire's Most Stylish Man of 2013 award, too.
12/12 The Modern Pope
Let it be said, Pope Francis knows a thing or two about social media. He might be a way off 'doing a Dalai' and opting for Instagram, but he's not above posing for the odd 'Selfie' on Twitter.
In October Hungarian Cardinal Peter Erdo read out an interim report at the Synod's General Congregation, which declared homosexuals had "gifts and qualities to offer".
However, conservative bishops distanced themselves from the statement and the Church has since said it is simply a "working document" and was not intended to be an official statement of church teaching on family life.
Francis told La Nacion that the synod was a "process" and stated: "The opinion of a synodal father was just that, the opinion of a synodal father."Reuse content

Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) issued the following statement in response to the Obama Administration's anti-coal, anti-job energy initiatives:
"Four years ago today, President Obama tried unsuccessfully to convince a Democratic-controlled Congress to pass his job-killing national energy tax, known as "Cap-and-Trade.' Now the President and his advisers are launching a broadside attack on hardworking families by increasing their costs every time they flip on a light switch, cool their home and cook dinner for their family. One of his advisers told the New York Times, "a war on coal is exactly what's needed.' What's needed, Mr. President, is an affordable, all-American energy policy that promotes job growth here at home and makes us less dependent on energy sources abroad."
In the New York Times today, Daniel Schrag, a Harvard University professor who serves as a scientific adviser to President Obama said: "Politically, the White House is hesitant to say they're having a war on coal. On the other hand, a war on coal is exactly what's needed."
Almost half of Arkansas's electric power was supplied by coal-fired power plants in 2011, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
According to the American Action Forum, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) outpaced all other agencies in regulatory costs in 2012 with $172 billion. To date this year, it has racked up $38 billion in new regulations.
The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity estimates that seven new EPA regulations alone will cost the electrical sector $16.7 billion per year, cause 887,000 job losses per year and contribute to the shutting down of 69,000 megawatts of coal-fired power. The cost for the average household could be more than $500 per year.
One fifth of the nation's coal plants shut down between 2009-2012.

How To Win At Chess? Here's What Goes Inside The Head Of Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen
The popular board game chess is challenging and the winner usually draws a lot of admiration. There is a curiosity to understand the mental and intellectual dynamics of the players when they are playing chess.
Probing that enigmatic plank is CITEC of Bielefeld University with a project called "Ceege." The cognitive scientists from Cluster of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology pursued a research method that tracked eye movements and facial expressions of players.
Ceege stands for "Chess Expertise from Eye Gaze and Emotion."
The early results explained how Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen earned the world chess champion title this year.
"There are numerous theories on how the brain controls attention and solves problems in both everyday situations and game situations," says Professor Thomas Schack.
As a sports scientist, Schack heads the CITEC research group's "Neurocognition and Action — Biomechanics."
In Ceege, Schack's group has a partner in French team, Inria Grenoble Rhône-Aples.
Innovative Methodology
The Bielefeld researchers applied many techniques to glean information on players' activity, using special eye-tracking glasses to measure their gaze. The facial expressions and body language were recorded in video cameras.
One of the scientists, Kai Essig, said the findings can predict the relative strength of an individual chess player and his scope of winning a match.
Essig observed that amateurs jump rapidly from one figure to another and look at all the pieces as if they all have a big role in a particular situation.
Micro expressions, including facial expressions and gestures along with changes in respiratory rate, perspiration, and heart beat were tracked by James Crowley's team from the Institute Inria.
Overall, the project studied 120 participants, in which one-third were chess experts and novices constituted the rest. Essig said the study clearly showed chess experts differed in significant eye movements.
The new knowledge was verified by the researchers in analyzing the chess world championship of November and determined that Magnus Carlsen would be the winner as he showed more initiative in the first six matches.
Carlsen's Strategy
In an interview, prior to the November world championship, Carlsen himself threw hints about his sources of inspiration and strategy.
Carlsen is known as a player who shows great capacity in putting people at ease. He has been the defending champion since 2013 and in the 2016 match, the champion played against Russia's Sergey Karjakin who was 26-year-old.
Karjakin was a Ukrainian and became a Russian citizen in 2009 under a special decree by Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.
Carlsen said he is an admirer of Karjakin "as a person and a chess player." He likes Karjakin's tenacious moves and the ability to find positions.
Carlsen says he hoped to break Russian player's defenses from tips found in military history. While reading war heroes, he read a book on Hitler to get an idea of the German leader's military successes and lapses. He also read Napoleon as a childhood hero and admired the French conqueror as a great strategist.
Carlsen said reading achievements of historical figures inspired him while he was shy of publicizing his own achievements.

The Thought
She thought she was done when she finally finished writing. She thought that all the tears were finally gone. Used up in her moment of weakness. But as she looked over her paper and read her shaky words, more tears appeared. They trickled down her cheeks and she could taste the salt. Her vision started to blur, again, and her breath came out in sobs.
Only moments before had she been walking down her street in a state of positive euphoria. Nothing could've ruined her mood. At least, she hadn't thought so. She hadn't anticipated something like that happening. She hadn't thought something so horrible could happen to someone like her.
I guess I was wrong. She thought to herself. I think I was wrong about a lot of things.

2014 Chateau Leoville Poyferre Pre-Arrival Offer
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
Other Reviews...
The Château Léoville-Poyferré 2014 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot picked between 1 and 14 October, a little later than some of its Saint Julien neighbors. It has one of the most opulent set of aromatics of the appellation, with crème de cassis, boysenberry jam and macerated small dark cherries - an extravagant bouquet in the context of the growing season. The palate is full-bodied with great density and power. There is a lot of weight in this Saint Julien, spicy in the mouth with a healthy pinch of white pepper towards the finish that feels long in the mouth, although I would like to see more finesse coming through by the time of bottling. As usual, this is one of the most decadent Saint Julien wines, but one that is well-crafted by Didier Cuvelier. Give this several years in bottle. Drink 2021 - 2040.
91-93 points
Neal Martin eRobertParker.com # 218 (Apr 2015)
Very stylish, with blackberry, black cherry and black currant fruit already melded together with subtle charcoal and ganache notes. Offers a velvety feel, but isn't shy on grip or depth. This is sneakily long. A lovely showing.
92-95 points
J.M. - Wine Spectator
Richly extracted aroma and palate - quite a broad style as is usual for Poyferré, and a very good future ahead. Always the richest of the three Léovilles.
17.75/20pts (92/100pts)
Very fine and pretty with blueberry, mineral and hazelnut character. Full body, succulent fruits and tannins, as well as a long finish. Savory. Very polished as always.
93-94 points

Their application seeking discharge blames Coast Guard, contests police claim that their boat was 'unseaworthy'.
Indian and Pakistan marine security agencies often capture fishing boats for crossing into their respective maritime boundary.
At present, the ICG fleet has 116 surface platforms and 62 air assets.
In April, the Coast Guard claimed to have seized a Pakistani boat with a heroin consignment.
Satellite set, Pakistani ID card seized; Kerala police interrogating crew
After searches by submarine, ships, helicopters fail to find wreckage, families have been walking kilometres along the shorelines of Tamil Nadu.
Under the new policy, 15 parameters have been laid down where inputs from security agencies will be sought.
The Dornier plane with three crew members went missing on June 8 along Tamil Nadu's coastline during a routine maritime surveillance sortie
Deputy Commandant Suresh Subash was one of the three officers onboard the ill-fated plane that went missing on June 8 while on a routine sortie.
Besides this, a multi-coloured sheen of oil, indicating leakage, was detected at a site believed to be near the location where the Air Traffic Control (ATC) lost contact with the Dornier.
Al Yashir is registered in the name of an individual named Shauqat, a fisherman based in Karachi's Hazira Port.
The Coast Guard officials remain tight lipped about the second boat which was let go since it had nothing in it.
Sources said the operation was carried out by a joint team of the Indian Coast Guard and the Indian Navy.
The police were told that another vessel named MV Abdulla, Yemeni-flagged, had run aground in the vicinity.
Gujarat Maritime Boar (GMB) officials posted in Alang confirmed the the vessel had sunk.

There aren't too many days left until our country will be voting on another president, and I just wanted to encourage everyone to take part in the democracy they hold so dearly. We all love our country and the freedoms it gives us. We all complain when the government does something we don't agree with but have the time the majority of our citizens won't make their voice heard....Go out and vote!
While I know you are never suppose to talk politics with anyone because arguments can happen, I have recently read that the Sportsman Vote is a big turnout and something that candidates fight for. I had two questions for y'all:
1. Who all on here will actually vote?
2. What candidate will you vote for?
I personally think Ron Paul would be the best candidate to vote in to the White House, but I will probably end up voting for McCain and Palin in order to help them beat Obama.
I do not wish to start and argument or to offend anyone, just simply wondering and looking for a mature DISCUSSION of the matter.
Have a good one!
I always vote. I will vote against Obama this go around. I do believe he'll win the election. I really don't think he'll be good for our country. There's more to life than a tax cut and I don't think he has much else to offer. As a rural gun owning hunter and buisness owner, he scares the fire out of me. McCain is ok but I don't think he has any new ideas...... I'm not fond of either one actually. Ron Paul is a little on the extreme side for me. Just my opinion.
i always vote and, for a lack of a better system or dealing with the way things work, always to the right. i like talking to people with differing opinions. I'm always looking for insight or a different point of view to either confirm or disprove my thoughts. my first and second choice didn't make it far enough so i'm going with McCain/ Palin and hope they knock some sense into ALL the boneheads in DC and reform the system to end the crap. i'm not going to hold my breath though.
I tend to run pretty conservative, that should answer your question. Just for conversation purposes I am concerned with the drift twords socialism it's a big mistake.
amen to that one HM, but drift my rear end! they are running head long into it. both sides hand in hand. thats why dc needs a wake up call to remind them that WE are America not the government. cut out the bull and get back to working for us, the ones that are paying the bills. there's to much playing both sides of the fence, being pc, and worrying about what France and the other countries think and almost no doing whats best, what we want, for the US. to much babying the people and trying to wipe everyones noses. the only thing that gov should be doing is making sure everyone has a chance to succeed not giving away incomes and perks to everyone and every company. i still think they should all be fired and tap people on the street ask if they can read and write in English and offer them the job in dc. oh don't get me started.
HM a big mistake? My friend we are in deep crap. I'm loosing faith. Not in America but in the new trend in thought process. It scares the heck out of me. I try to keep an open mind but this one I just don't get. Vote? You're darn right I'm going to vote. No way anyone is going to blame me for what is coming so it appears.:sad: Now I'm depressed. Let's talk about BUCKS!! Shot a 130's class 8 point Thursday.:lol:
I as well lean toward the conservative side. So that puts my vote with the McCain/Palin ticket. Im like ronn on this stuff. You dont wanna get me started on my "Im scared of Obama". Whats sad is McCain wasnt in my top choices either. Either side can be grim but I think less damage will be with McCain.
Ive always thought if every American went out and voted the republicans will win this year. We cant really trust the polls on most networks today. (dont need to get started on that either)
What I dont like are people that vote for certain party only because thats what they have always done. I wish we would just vote for the better candiadate and throw parties out the window.
I liked ronn's comment. Here is one of mine Ive used over the years.
I wish they would find some farmers that have been running a business for 90 years, made it through the really hard times, and know's how to make business work without all the bull crap. And money does not sway their thoughts.
Banks have been giving money to folks that didnt need it for several years now. What do they expect to happen when people are maxed out on their bills. Their still going to eat out and go on vacation. They will just quit making the house payment. And how many folks could work, but choose not to because they would rather sit at home and draw a check, food stamps and TNcare insurance. Because their to good to get a job at Kroger or a nursery somewhere. I dont agree with illegal immigration but we Americans could learn something from all these Mexicans coming to TN. They work like crazy. Save their money. Take care of their families and do the work that we Americans think we are to good to do because our hands get dirty and it makes our back hurt. The generation Im in and the one being raised today have no clue what real work is. (For the most part, I believe I got a grasp on what work is and so do some other young folks, there are just very few.)
Im done. I could rattle on this all day long.
Well Ronn knows very well how I feel about this guy but this site is "G" rated so I won't go there. They say he is popular with the younger generation and women----------I'm REALLY not going there. So I guess you see how much I dislike the man. McCain was not my first choice either but as far as I can see the only choice. Bottom line is everything so far stated is exactly how I feel. Hey I did good, I'm not usually POLITICALLY correct.:wallbash:
I wish there was another choise. Of the people by the people for the people! I'm done!
Just wanted to say thanks for keeping it professional. Even though I may not see eye to eye with folks, I do understand that this is America and they have their freedom of choice.

Très magnifique! Simply put the Look 695 Light has exquisite beautiful lines, brilliant technology and years upon years of sports innovation.
The 695 Light offers power from the inside out! Innovation and continuous product development is embedded in LOOK's DNA and further improving the LOOK 695 was a no brainer since it is already known to be a pioneer in terms of integration. Lighter than the previous model of the 695, the 695 I-PACK Light is equipped with the ZED 2 crankset for optimal energy transmission, Aerostem, and E-Post.
The E-Post, Elastomer Seat Post, is internally adjustable for saddled comfort and engineered to be anti-rotational with the ability to absorb vibrations. For those who love electronic shifting, the E-Post is built with a small bracket under the seat post for internal batteries allowing this frame to be Shimano Di2 compatible. The new integrated Aerostem stem is lighter and more aerodynamic. Though designed to minimize drag, the Aerostem has a tiltable range of -13° to +17°, allowing the possibility to adopt lower riding positions.
Razor sharp handling provided by the new HSC 7 fork and efficient power transfer makes this frame a fantastic choice for the rider looking for innovative technology and peloton power.

"This is what we need you to find," said Jonathan, pointing at the screen. He flipped tabs and brought up a map. "And this is where it should be, if all goes according to plan."
"So why do you need me?" asked Rich, confused. "I mean, there are five of you. Surely one of you could do it?" But Alan shook his head, saying that it was impossible, and tried to explain to this ignorant stranger.
"We are too recognisable. You would be able to tell us from a mile off, no?" he began. "But that's not the only thing. We need six for this operation. One to distract the owner of the house: that's not too hard, we will give that job to Linda. Two to ensure entry, Matthew and Davide. One to make sure everything is unlocked for an escape and to watch the back of the house, in case of an ambush. And one to stand at the front, to warn those inside if someone is coming. Finally, there is the one who will steal the thing."
"And you've chosen me, out of all the better qualified, more willing candidates out there. I don't get it. Why am I so special? I've got grades, yeah, but they're not really going to help; I was never taught to steal and I don't intend to become a thief!" His voice was rising and Linda patted his arm, trying to calm him down.
"Shh, Rich," she said quietly. "There are other people in this restaurant, don't forget. We don't want to jeopardise the whole thing right now, do we?" She laughed, so characteristic. "You know, I told them you would be difficult."
"There you go again!" Rich exploded from his chair, pointing a shaking finger at Linda. "You seem to know so much about me, but how? I've never been famous or popular or in the papers at all. I was just a quiet kid who kept his head down at school and didn't get into trouble. I used to go running, and I won a few races. Now ... now I'm being headhunted by some random organisation because apparently, I'm the best one to steal something I've never even heard of, even though I've not had any practice."
"Shut up!" Jonathan was angry now. "Look, Rich, we can't stay here if you'll go shouting your head off at any minute, and how are we meant to explain anything when we have ordinary citizens coming and asking us if we're burglars? Now be quiet, or I will get very annoyed." Rich fell silent immediately, staring at the floor.
"That's better," said Linda. "You know, your temperament was one of the things we chose you for, although it may have been a bad idea." She giggled. "I'm only joking. We didn't know you got angry easily."
