Professor Irwin Abrams was the leading historian of the Nobel Peace Prize. His The Nobel Peace Prize and the Laureates: an illustrated history, 1901-87 was published in 1988, and, while many other books have been written about the Prize, none of them matches Abrams' in terms of scholarship, originality, and readability. When, in the 1990s, the Nobel Foundation decided to update the three-volume series Nobel Lectures: Peace (1970), bringing the official biographies of laureates together with their acceptance speeches and the presentation speeches, Abrams was invited to become editor. So far, five have been published, covering 1971-2005, and another volume, co-edited with his grandson Scott London, will be published this year.
Abrams went to Lowell High School in San Francisco; he received a BA in history from Stanford and an MA and PhD from Harvard. His 1938 doctoral thesis, under the diplomatic historian William L Langer, was entitled A History of European Peace Societies, 1867-1899. He spent 1936-37 in Europe interviewing many leading figures of the pre-1914 international peace movement movement, among them Christian L Lange (peace laureate in 1921) and Henri La Fontaine (1913 laureate).
Back in the US, in 1947 he created the history department at Antioch College, in Yellow Springs, Ohio. He was to spend the rest of his academic life there, teaching European history and International Relations for the next three decades, becoming Distinguished University Professor in 1979. But in the early 1960s, during a sabbatical year in Geneva, he researched and wrote the article "Bertha von Suttner and the Nobel Peace Prize". Drawing extensively on the correspondence between Nobel and the Austrian baroness who had been his secretary for just one week (in Paris in the mid-1870s) and who became the leading figure of the pre-First World War international peace movement – as well as the first female recipient of the prize (1905) – Abrams was able to show the Baroness's influence on Nobel's decision to leave one-fifth of his enormous fortune for the furtherance of the cause of world peace, a connection that had sometimes been denied or marginalised by Nobel's biographers.
Abrams not only pursued original research on the origins and evolution of the prize, but was also concerned to bring its recipients before a wide public. He believed that a greater familiarity with peace laureates would inspire younger generations to choose as their role models not only pop stars and sporting champions but also, in the words of Alfred Nobel, "champions of peace". His lucid prose and infectious enthusiasm made him an excellent messenger of a vital concern. His books on the subject included The Words of Peace: Selections from the Speeches of the Winners of the Nobel Peace Prize (1990), and Postage Stamps and Peace Education: The Nobel Peace Prize (1995), a fascinating account of the use of peace stamps to increase understanding of the peace movement.
Any historian of the peace idea in the modern era will discover the central role of Quakers. Through his doctoral thesis, and reading about Quaker peace and relief and reconstruction work, Abrams became a member of the Religious Society of Friends. During the Second World War, he left his teaching position at Stanford University to work with the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC).
In the 1990s, Abrams wrote several articles on the Quakers. One of them detailed the work of AFSC's Nobel Peace Prize Nominating Committee. Abrams' active participation over many years in the annual selection process in Philadelphia, the home of American Quakerism, cannot but have sharpened his awareness of the field of candidates every year. The several nominations made by AFSC, and also by Abrams personally, on behalf of former US President Jimmy Carter, eventually proved to be successful when he was awarded the prize in 2002.
It is Irwin Abrams' singular achievement that he has done more than anyone else to acquaint the world more fully with the ideas, efforts and deepest motivations of the Nobel peace laureates and to promote their legacy.

Historical Context in Beowulf
The events of Beowulf took place in the 6th century CE. The character of Hrothgar is often connected to a historical figure of the same name who reigned in Denmark in the early 6th century. The poem was written between 700 CE and 1000 CE by an anonymous poet referred to as the "Beowulf poet" out of convenience. The poem blends historical events and figures with mythic elements such as Grendel and his mother, as well as the dragon. It prominently features both Pagan and Christian symbolism and represents the effects of the Christianization of England. The poem was composed in Anglia—a region in southeast England—and was drawn from the the stories of the Saxon and Scandinavian peoples who settled there. Beowulf was almost lost to the ravages of history. The poem happened to be included in a volume known as the Nowell Codex, housed in the collection of Sir Robert Cotton in London. When a fire broke out in 1731, a quarter of the library was destroyed. Fortunately, the Nowell Codex received little enough damage that Beowulf remained readable.
Historical Context Examples in Beowulf:
Although this version of the tale is written in prose, the story of Beowulf is typically shared as an epic poem from the point of view of a poet. Throughout the piece, the poet will call to the audience directly, as done here, and comment on aspects of the story, as shown later.
In a Christian world, God would receive the ship, but in a pagan world, it's unknown where the ship goes. While the poet's audience would have recognized sending the ship into the ocean as a pagan burial, the poet prefers to describe the burial of Scyld in strictly pagan terms.
Scyld's status as an orphan is very important because in this society, family is everything. In many cases, being born an orphan is a death sentence because there is no family for protection. This makes his rise to greatness and power all the more impressive because he began life in such a dangerous situation.
These mead-benches came from mead-halls, which were fortresses and gathering places for medieval Norse and Germanic tribes. Members of society gathered there in safety under the king's protection so that they could feast, share stories, and receive gifts. It is also notable that Valhalla and Folkvang, two divine mead-halls from Scandinavian mythology, are the places where dead souls go in the afterlife. The mead-hall is the center of society, making any attack on the hall, therefore, an assault upon the fabric of society itself.
The poet alludes to the biblical story of Cain and Abel, in which after Cain killed his brother, God cast him out of human society. All of Cain's descendants also became outcasts and eventually monsters. Grendel is established as a kinsman of Cain, supporting the idea that he was human at one time.
Swamps, marshes, and bogs are often depicted as the lairs or habitats of evil creatures in stories, likely due to their being sparsely populated by humans and the lack of visibility and unseen dangers from animals, disease, and the terrain.
The poet means to say that the lives of everyone would be saved. During the time this tale was told, it was common to use the word men to refer to all people. This has fallen out of favor in recent years, as words that include all genders are preferred.
In a similar fashion to stories in the Old Testament, the poet recounts the children and heirs of Scyld to establish the line of genealogy for his audience and establish Hrothgar's role in the tale. This creates a familiar approach to beginning the story for the poet's Christian audience.
This is a different Beowulf, the son of Scyld Scyf, as opposed to the titular character Beowulf. To avoid confusion, some translations have shortened the name to Beow, as done here.
A method of forestalling vengeance in Scandinavian societies, paying blood-gold was a way to avoid endless cycles of honor killings to avenge family members by financially compensating the relatives of the killed. Grendel's refusal to conform to such customs of the land further evidence his evil and inhuman nature.
According to the poem, the Geats are a seafaring tribe from the south of Sweden; they appear to have been conquered at some point in the early Middle Ages. Gregory of Tours mentions that a group of "Danes" led by "Chochilaicus" (a possible Latinization of "Hygelac") attacked the Franks around 520 A.D. Little other historical information is written about the Geats.
Wulfgar, as Hrothgar's subject, instinctively makes sure that he positions his own body lower than Hrothgar's as he addresses him. To address one's king while standing at a higher level would violate customs and traditions.
The fact that Beowulf has something made by Wéland, the legendary smith whose armor was highly valued for its protective abilities, increases his status in this warrior culture. The figure of Wéland in Anglo-Saxon mythology is analogous to the god Hephaestus (Vulcan) in Homeric literature, who makes armor for gods and selected demigods like Hercules and Achilles.
Characteristic of the values at the time, Beowulf boasts about his earlier exploits when he introduces himself to Hrothgar. This is expected of him because he needs to declare his intentions and why he has taken it upon himself to aid Hrothgar against Grendel.
Despite the Geats appearing to be among friends, Wulfgar has them leave their shields and weapons behind. Likewise, Beowulf commands several Geats to stay behind with their gear just in case something goes wrong. Both of these actions represent an aspect of the warrior culture at the time; namely, that until loyalty is demonstrated and trust earned, both sides will keep their guards up around the other.
One of the more advanced societies in the time period known as the "Dark Ages," the Frisians were an early medieval tribe of people who occupied parts of what are the modern-day nations of Denmark, the Netherlands, and northern Germany. They traded with silver coins instead of bartering and engaged in maritime trade from the Baltic region to England. They were often rivals of the Franks, who lived to the southwest of their lands.
In a typically Scandinavian / Anglo-Saxon style, Hrothgar's storyteller performs another story for the audience, known in the poem as "the Finnsburg Fragment" or "Fight at Finnsburg." The story he shares doesn't include much detail beyond summarizing main events, which is likely an indication that the audience would be familiar with it.
Hengest, whose slain leader has not been avenged, thinks of revenge but is trapped by the truce with Finn not to fight. The poet implies that when Hunlafing gives the sword to Hengest, he is subtly reminding Hengest that he must renew the fight with Finn because of the pagan code of loyalty to king and kin. The sacred duty to avenge his lord conflicts with another sacred duty to abide by his oath. However, loyalty to king is a much stronger duty in this warrior society.
To better describe the gifts bestowed upon Beowulf to his audience, the poet alludes to the tale of Hama, a heroic character in Germanic legend. Hama entered the castle of King Eormenric, a very oppressive Goth leader, and stole a priceless gold necklace, once thought to have belonged to the Norse goddess Freyja. In order to escape Eormenric's vengeance, Hama spent the rest of his life in the safety of a monastery.
The poet describes a cultural reality for Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon societies at the time: women are viewed as peace-makers, not peace-breakers. As terrible as Grendel's mother is, she is not as threatening as Grendel was.
The repetition of all the initial f sounds is a good example of alliteration. A commonly used device in Old English and other poetry, some believe that techniques like this help both the poet and the audience remember the words.
Beowulf reaffirms his own values and the values of the culture at the time. Vengeance of a friend or loved one is the appropriate response, not mourning. He is not only reminding Hrothgar of this, but he is also consoling Hrothgar and vowing to kill Grendel's mother. Beowulf's values underscore a major theme in the play: the importance of being honorable through glory and valor.
The poet makes a very important cultural statement to his audience: Brave deeds are more valuable and lasting than one's life. Beowulf, like many poems about life and its struggles, is meant both to entertain and to instruct.
While Beowulf's fight with Grendel and his mother is a significant part of the story, the more important result, at least from society's perspective, is that Beowulf has achieved a strong alliance with a traditional enemy and stabilized relationships between them.
Land in medieval England was measured in "hides." One hide was the amount required to support a family, or approximately 60-120 acres, depending on the quality of the land. The ownership of land was considered necessary to advancement in this society--the greater the land, the greater authority for the owner.
This line implies that there is too much betrayal and treachery in this society. In addition to providing entertainment, the poet is also trying to instruct his listeners in proper behavior, one of the main goals of tales like Beowulf.
Haethcyn accidentally killed his older brother Herebeald with a misplaced arrow. Even this accidental killing had to be avenged according to the code of this society, but because the killer was Hrethel's youngest son, Haethcyn, the killing couldn't be avenged. In this society, even an accidental killing was a serious matter, and revenge was expected.
Beowulf refers to his killing of the Hugas (another name for the Frisians) warrior Daeghrefn, who may have been Hygelac's killer. Little historical information appears to exist regarding the Hugas, apart from what is written in Beowulf.
While in this prose version Naegling is described as a glaive (a spear with a knife or dagger-sized blade attached to its point), Naegling is more often described as Beowulf's sword--possibly the sword of Hrethel that Hygelac gave to him.
The messenger recounts this tale to as evidence for the prediction that the Swedes will retaliate against the Geats. In addition, this section also provides the audience with the details of what happened during this conflict.

John Madden: Patriots best on block
Credit: AP
DALLAS — The Patriots quarterback was named offensive player of the year and their coach was named coach of the year.
That led NFL Hall of Famer John Madden to ask a simple question about the guys doing the blocking.
"How about the offensive line that got them the recognition?"
At a ceremony at the Sheraton in Dallas, the Pats group that protected Tom Brady better than all but three teams and led coach Bill Belichick to another 14-win season was awarded the Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award presented by Prilosec.
The versatile unit was represented at a news conference by center Dan Koppen, guard Dan Connolly and tackle Mark LeVoir.
"I was greatly honored to be a part of it," said Connolly, a first-year starter.
The linemen helped running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis gain 1,008 yards, while allowing just 25 sacks of Brady. Now, they simply want to keep it together. The left side of the line — tackle Matt Light and guard Logan Mankins — are slated to be free agents. Mankins has said he doesn't believe the Pats will give him a long-term deal, while Light would like to return.
Koppen wants both of them to come back.
"Matt's been a great player for a long time," Koppen said. "I hope he continues to be a great player for us. It's just one of those things where you play 10 years in this league and do the things that he does on a consistent basis. He's a Patriots type of player that they want."
Yet, it's not up to him.
"It's all up to Bill (Belichick) and the organization and how they want to do it," Koppen said. "From a player's standpoint, I look forward to playing another year, maybe five years with those guys. But they don't pay me to pay the players. I hope they're back. But it's not only the Patriots. Matt's a free agent, and he's got to decide. But I hope they reach a deal."

Below the keyboard, the Xtreme 620's touchpad is so slightly indented as to look like it's flush with the rest of the chassis. It's a plain matte affair, thankfully spurning the garish giant 'X' of the X780; the only marking being a subtle pattern of slightly raised miniature white squares demarking the scroll zone.
Pad and buttons form a single surface separated only by a thin chrome strip. These buttons aren't the best as they're a bit on the stiff side, but neither are they unpleasant to use. Nestled between them is a biometric fingerprint scanner, which can be used as an alternative (or additional) method of securing your precious notebook's data to the traditional password.
Connectivity is a bit unusual in that there are only two USB ports accessible from the front, though there are a further two at the back. On the X620's left the Blu-ray ROM and DVD-Rewriter sits all by itself, while the front houses headphone and microphone jacks as well as a mini-FireWire port. This is also where you'll find the indicator lights, which are visible with the notebook's lid closed.
On the right, the aforementioned USB ports, a memory card reader and 54mm ExpressCard slot are joined by the modem and Ethernet ports. Finally, at the back reside the ventilation slot, lock slot, power input and twin digital video connections in the form of one DVI and one HDMI output. Unfortunately, as with the X720 the DVI port is not of the dual-link variety, meaning owners of 30in monitors are left out in the cold. Rock does include a DVI-VGA adapter should you have an analogue-only display, though.
Whereas almost any notebook available today is more than capable of the everyday tasks demanded of it, a gaming notebook needs some serious grunt under the hood. Rock's Xtreme 620 makes a good start for itself with a speedy Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 processor running at 2.80GHz. This 45nm CPU has a 6MB cache and a 1,066MHz bus speed, which matches that of the 4GB of DDR3 memory provided. This memory is optimally used by a 64-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium.
Easily the most important component of any gaming machine, though, is its graphics card, since this has far more influence on how games will run than the processor. While not the most powerful card around, an nVidia GeForce 9800M GT with 512MB of video memory strikes a good balance between performance and value.
Unlike the 9600 series (often sold in gaming laptops as a supposedly capable card), the 9800 can actually run demanding games without resorting to lower resolutions. At the 15.4in screen's native 1,680 x 1,050 resolution the X620 managed a perfectly adequate 49.7fps in Call of Duty 4 with details set to maximum and two samples of anti-aliasing.
As usual Crysis was more of a challenge, with High Quality settings under DX10 bringing the average down to an unplayable 17.66fps at native resolution. However, changing this to 1,280 x 800 delivered a mostly smooth experience with an average of 30.7fps and no noticeable loss of quality due to the screen's good scaling.
Given your only complaint is the slight noise while gaming, why do you only award it an 8/10 and no TR Recommendation? Is there really a better gaming solution in a 15.4" form factor than this Clevo chassis and spec?
2 points strikes me as a lot to take off for one minor niggle? I have the equivalent model from Kobalt Computers, and it by miles the best gaming laptop I've ever owned (and I've owned more than 4).
Interesting review, but why did Rock choose the now defunct 15.4 16:10 panel? Surely 15.6 or 16" 16:9 panel would be the choice of 2009.
I think the main reason would be that this laptop has actually been out for sometime and if I remember correctly was announced and designed just before the big switch to the 16:9 format.
As this is a gaming notebook 16:10 is also still the main format for gamers.
It would have been nice when spending this amount of money on a laptop to have the latest notebook GPUs that are available (GTX 260M/280M or Mobility Radeon HD 4870/4870 X2) rather than something that is now quite old.
It's fair to assume that it will be updated with the latest GPUs in the near future.
@Xelon, wow, you've really bought the 16:9 marketing spiel hook, line and sinker...
Now repeat after me, 16:9 bad, 16:10 good.
16:10 screens generally (with some minor exceptions) offer higher resolutions than 16:9 panels and in this case you're getting 1,680x1,050 resolution rather than 1,366x768 which you'd get on a 15.6 or 16-inch 16:9 panel.
It's all just marketing hype, on a computer there is NO advantage of going 16:9 over 16:10, apart from maybe the short time you're using it for watching movies on and then you only get a slightly larger black border.
I agree with TheLostSwede, I'm scared of losing all that vertical space! Even now, desktop monitors are going from 1200 pixels to 1080 pixels vertically. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of a big monitor doesn't it?
Yep LostSwede is right I have a Sony Viao 16:9 and most older games have to be played with large black borders down each side which is a real pity. Although I think most new games support the 16:9 ratio if like me you still enjoy playing some of the older games you're better of with a 16:10 screen.
@Petrov: The overall score is a combination of price, performance, looks and value - and it's the Rock we're reviewing, not the Clevo, which is indeed a good chassis and used by many other manufacturers, some of whom offer better value depending on your needs.
@smc8788: As you might know, at least in the case of nVidia's latest chipsets they're nothing more than revised and overclocked versions of older cards, so you're not getting 'old' tech as such and performance will probably be quite similar.
@TheLostSwede: Amen.

Blink To Life
Scott's mind never wandered. It was not that Scott was a particularly focused guy. It was more that his mind truly did not know how to wander. He was a one-channel kind of guy.
Not only was he stuck on this one channel, but his mind did not wander enough to realize that there even were other channels. And so he assumed that everyone else was just as absorbed in the one channel as he was. Scott would speak, and then everyone would immediately give the environment a careful glance to figure out what on earth he was referring to.
Scott would comment upon the scenery around him, the activity he was doing, or the activity someone else was doing. And that was it.
"It's even got a crack in it," he said to me out of the blue once.
I did the normal responding-to-Scott ritual of giving the location an overall search. Ah ha! He was talking about the wooden bench. Good. Now I knew.
"What does it think it's doing," he added.
What, the bench? I gave the scenery another glance. Ah, he'd moved on to talking about the dog.
It was like this with Scott.
"Nobody's cleaning up after him." Still about the dog.
I said a simple, "Ya," and then returned to my thoughts.
Five minutes passed in what I assumed was a thoughtful silence. And then Scott spoke again.
"Maybe the owner should be more aware."
I blinked. Had he truly been thinking about that for the past five minutes? I found that hard to believe. But if all his mind did was pass over the scenery, maybe a dog turd would be rather interesting.
It was like this. It would always be like this. If I had thought there was the possibility of a fascinating discussion with this man, I would have tried to inspire some conversations. But it was easier to ignore the slim possibilities and give the man the title of hopeless.
And I will never be so narrow-minded again.
It was like the switch in his mind had been flicked.
It was like the candle behind his eyes had been lit.
It was like the cage around his skull had been blown away in a breeze of imagination.
But was it still Scott who had danced into work that summer morning singing Bohemian Rhapsody and clicking his heels? I've always wondered...

News : FTC Shuts Down Bogus Tech Support Scams
Nov 20, 2014 -- The next time something is wrong with your computer, make sure the company you're dealing with is legit, or you could wind up being scammed out of your hard-earned cash, the FTC has warned.
The advice comes amidst a crackdown on phony tech support companies that allegedly trick users into paying for tech support services they didn't actually need, and for software that was otherwise available for free. At the FTC's request, federal judges have shut down New York-based Pairsys, Florida-based Inbound Call Experts, and Florida-based Vast Tech Support pending trial, the consumer protection agency announced Wednesday.
According to the FTC, Pairsys has scammed nearly $2.5 million from users and Inbound Call Experts and Vast Tech Support together conned tens of thousands of consumers out of more than $120 million since 2012.
The scammers behind Pairsys allegedly cold-called consumers pretending to be representatives from Microsoft and Facebook, and purchased online ads that lead users to believe they were calling from legit tech support companies. Once they had access to a consumer's computer, they would say they discovered viruses and malware, which in reality did not exist, and in some cases implied that the computer was so badly compromised that it needed to be repaired immediately.
They "targeted seniors and other vulnerable populations, preying on their lack of computer knowledge to sell 'security' software and programs that had no value at all," Jessica Rich, director of the FTC's consumer protection bureau, said in a statement.
Pairsys then pressured users into paying for bogus warranty programs and software that was freely available, usually scamming them out of anywhere from $149 to $249, but in some cases as much as $600.
Meanwhile, the two Florida companies — Inbound Call Experts and Vast Tech Support — ran "massive telemarketing operations" to scam users out of money to fix nonexistent computer problems. The scam started when a user downloaded a free trial version of software that purported to enhance computer security and performance. The software ran a "system scan" and always identified numerous errors, then instructed users to pay for the "full" version of the program for anywhere between $29 and $49 to fix the problems.
From there, the user was told to call a toll-free number to activate the software. When the consumer called the activation number, they were connected to a telemarketer who tried to sell additional computer and repair services using "deceptive scare tactics."
"These operations prey on consumers' lack of technical knowledge with deceptive pitches and high-pressure tactics to sell useless software and services to the tune of millions of dollars," Rich said.
In light of these scams, the FTC has issued some tips to help users avoid falling victim. For starters, don't give control of your computer to anyone who says they need to activate software, or anyone who calls you out of the blue claiming to be from tech support.
If you think you paid for bogus tech support services or software with a credit card, call your bank and see if you can have the charges reversed, then inform the FTC. Change any passwords you gave out.

The Education Secretary is under threat and according to her Labour colleague, the ever-helpful Ian Gibson MP, has only till the middle of the week (ie, tomorrow) to show that she's in full command of the school paedophile crisis that has so suddenly engulfed her. The BBC news spoke yesterday morning of a "weekend of revelations" concerning dodgy teachers, and then seemed only to be able to find one new one, and a decent Sunday broadsheet ran a headline about how Ruth Kelly had known about the paedo problem since last year — only to reveal in the text that by "last year" what was meant was the December just gone.
Polly Toynbee points out that Ministers should not usually be making such decisions anyway:
This should be the cue for a long-overdue review of ministerial responsibility: Major did start one that Blair then scrapped. Ancient custom sends thousands of letters a day out in ministers' names averring what "the minister says" on cases he/she could not possibly see. Ministers should not make such decisions. In this example, before people are put on List 99 and banned from working with children, an education minister has to decide borderline cases; but he/she has no more clue than you or I. It needs a professional panel to examine each one. Ditto on the sex offenders' register, when deciding the gravity of an "offender" who at 17 had sex with his 15-year-old girlfriend many years ago. (Chris Woodhead, yesterday making hostile comments, could give expert evidence on teachers' relationships with teenagers). What all this reveals is the need now for a firm rule across all departments that ministers no longer do individual cases. They should do policy - that's their job - and oversee others, such as ombudsmen, special panels and judges, to adjudicate cases fairly.

After writing about cooking with beer on Monday, I was good and ready to do just that! These brownies, from the March issue of Cooking Light, are "Black and Tan" brownies, based on the traditional two-beer drink. And you need Guinness! So perfect for the next Hump Day — St. Patrick's Day!
Tan Brownies
6 tbsp softened butter
1 and 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Black Brownies
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
4 tbsp butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup Guinness
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
This Is How We Do It
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place one rack in the lower third and one rack in the upper third.
Start by preparing the tan brownies: beat together the butter and brown sugar and then beat in two eggs and the vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients and then add to the sugar mixture with the pecans, beating until just combined.
Spoon the mixture into a 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Put the brownies on the rack on the lower third of the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
While the tan brownies are baking, get started on the black. Put the chocolate and the butter in the microwave for about a minute, stirring every 20 seconds, until it's melted and smooth. Add the sugar and stir until it's well combined.
Add the eggs, vanilla, and Guinness, stirring with a whisk until it's combined. Then add the dry ingredients. The chocolate batter is so, so smooth.
This is the first time I actually got to use the Perfect Brownie Pan I bought Preston for Valentine's Day! I was so pumped. When the tan brownies have baked for 15 minutes, remove them from the oven.
Your first thought might be, Um, those aren't done! Right. They are not done. You have to pour the black brownie mixture over them and bake again. If you're using the Perfect Brownie Pan, you also have to insert the dividers so you get perfect brownies.
Bake in the top third of the oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Heyyy, perfect brownies! They are like little shots, all in a row.
Let them cool and then enjoy!
The layering is a bit different on each brownie, but check it — you'll get that black and tan effect!
You can have the brownies as a treat with the leftover Guinness. Or, if you're trying to be healthy, you can use the Guinness to work your bicpes like I did.
Have a great Wednesday night!

The Flexable Hose is a piece of garbage. I paid 42 dollars for it, was supposed to be some kind of miracle hose, they send two of them. They both broke, exploding the sprayer from the hose, shredding the hose and getting water everywhere. Awful, awful product. I tried to get a refund, and the best they'll do, after 60 day warranty, is send a replacement but pay $18.00 in shipping. Great, two more defective hoses on the way.

A Beautiful ManMature
"What happened in there Bas?" Cole asked Sebastian.
He took a deep breath and slowly sat up but stayed a little hunched over.
He shrugged and scrubbed his hands over his face.
"I don't like things when they're messy Cole, you know that." He said softly.
Cole knew alot about how Sebastian despised messy things. In fact that's why they were no longer together, Sebastian knew how much Cole loves him but he didn't love him enough to accept his faults. Feeling the sharp pain coming back into his chest Sebastian pushed away the thoughts and closed his eyes.
"Yes I do know, but we've been in that bar every week now. You never go in that bathroom because you know how messy it is." Cole said to him.
Sebastian sighed and shrugged.
"I don't know. I guess I forgot." He comented.
Cole scoffed from next to him.
"Bas I know you, you don't just forget things like that! What's going on?" Cole asked.
He cleared his throat and shrugged again.
"Nothing." He said softly.
Cole went to speak again but he looked out the car window and glared at something.
He reached down and twisted the keys in the ignition.
"Some people." Cole muttered under his breath.

She watched from the corner of the shop as the gorgeous blonde male purchased his cd's and walked out the store whilst pulling a smoke from his jacket pocket. She couldn't help but notice that he carried the scent of vanilla.
She cought a glimpse of leather gloves on his strong hands and shivered.
Striding over to the Rock section her hand hovered over the stacks of cd's that he had flipped through. She noticed what ones were missing and grabbed the same and went up the counter to pay for them.
She scuttled out of the shop and walked down to the suprette and browsed through their various packs of smokes. She looked up at the store clerk.
"How many do you have that are vanilla?"she asked him. he reached under the counter and produced a pack.
"Is that the only kind?" He nodded.
"I'll take it." She said with a grin.
"Five Pounds." He said in a bored voice as he punched buttons on the cash register.
She paid for them and walked outside. She opened the pack and inhaled deeply.
Wearing a big grin she walked home to search for her camera.

Bill introduced in aftermath of crash that killed baseball players
WASHINGTON - A bill introduced in the aftermath of a 2007 bus crash that killed five members of an Ohio University baseball team has cleared the U.S. Senate.
The motor coach crashed on Interstate 75 in Atlanta. Five members of the of Bluffton University's baseball team were killed, along with the driver and his wife. Investigators said the bus driver thought he was getting on an HOV lane when he drove onto an elevated exit ramp, plowing through a stop sign at highway speed and hurtling from an overpass onto the interstate below. Investigators for the National Transportation Safety Board said confusing highway signs, driver error and a lack of passenger safety features were to blame.
The new bill, introduced by two senators from Ohio and Texas, would increase safety requirements for motorcoach drivers and companies. The bill would require safety belts and stronger seating systems to protect occupants of such buses, revamp driver training, and require anti-ejection glazing windows to prevent passengers from being thrown out of a motorcoach.

Two Missions to KillMature
More than ever, Nicolae sensed keen ears around him, those of the councilmen so eager to hear the inside knowledge of his plans. He would make sure this would never happen, of course. He was king, and he would make sure it would remain so for many more years. Or at least long enough to see every member of the council staked and beheaded, by human hands or his own he really didn't mind.
Cautious of spies, he had called Silena and, to his misfortune, Tymildra down into his most secret hiding place: Floor 0.5. Sky Valley had old functioning lifts that ran on mechanics in case electricity failed, and there were three concealed in the corner of the centre. Forcing open the door which did not close back, Nicolae stepped inside the compartment which smelt strongly of blood, owing to the huge red stain on the mirror on the black wall. It seemed some residents got off on the "cornered-and-defenceless" sort of kill. He had no taste for it, personally. He pressed the button which would take him down to the basement and soon saw the entrance to the floor, a blown hole between the floors leading to a storage room, one that only he - and now two others - knew of. Pressing the 'STOP' button, the lift jolted and was still, allowing him to climb through, where Silena and the ancient were already waiting.
Tymildra was sat up on a pile of crates that almost reached the ceiling, and Silena was leant against a rocking horse meant for window display. She was dressed for a mission, just as he had requested, in clothes out of her birth era. A leather jacket with brass buttons, a loose and printed shirt, and to his horror, jeans. However, he had to admit, she looked beautiful - and she'd certainly blend in with the humans.
"You know why I want you here and what I want to happen," he said immediately on entering, straightening proudly. "A human escaped us a few days ago, and when Elias assured me it would be dealt with, he disappeared. I'm afraid that he's swanned off and gone to help her, along with a couple djinns that I'm officially labelling as rogues,"
"My brother always did have a soft spot for human girls," Tymildra smiled. "Like me...only I prefer the soft spot in their necks." Her lip curled up and flirtatiously revealed one of her fangs.
Ignoring her, Nicolae turned to Silena. "You know why you're here. You need to bring them all back." His voice was clipped and professional, and it stung Silena in the pit of her stomach.
"Not kill them?" she asked. "I could do it. Fire is hardly an issue - not for me, and one human girl is -,"
"What about Elias?" asked Tymildra softly. "You presume to be able to take on an ancient?"
Silena pursed her lips with annoyance. "It would be difficult -,"
"It would be suicide, fledgling. Your arrogance gets away from you." Anger burned in her eyes. As much as she might dislike her brother, it was clear that to undermine the ancients was an unforgivable offence.
"She is no fledgling," said Nicolae sharply. "But I am well aware that Elias will not want to return, especially if he has indeed felt sympathy for the group." His voice softened inquiringly. "You told me once that Elias had a weakness for blood. Is that true?"
"Well, it isn't a lie, for sure. Haven't you noticed it before? I doubt he's ever wanted to feed with you, and he has refused Making for a very long time. Elias is probably the only one of us I can say probably wishes he wasn't what he is, despite all the powers granted to him,"
"In that case," said Nicolae, his eyes on his vampyre, "take a blood bag from storage to distract him -,"
"I'm very capable of drawing my own blood, Nic," retorted Silena, gesturing to her sharp, colourful manicure. "You may rely on me. My only question is, what do you intend to do with the human, and why not kill her on the spot?"
"Because Elias would never forgive me," he said simply. "Unnecessary bloodshed, and I'm not willing to have an ancient turned against me. It's been hard enough getting the rest of them to cooperate," he and Tymildra watched each other for a dangerous moment, each of them carefully laying a card on the table one at a time. "If we can't kill her, then she'll return here and live amongst us, at least until the reveal. She may go free then...of course, if there was to be an...accident, God forbid, then we would simply have to accept that, wouldn't we?" He looked at Silena again and she nodded with understanding. She had been given not just one mission today, but two.
"Where can we find them?" she asked, looking at Tymildra, who then hopped down from the crates, landing delicately on her feet.
"There's a safehouse on Hammerbrook Street, not far off the town centre. All ancients know of it. I was allowed to use it if I desired, but it's turned out to be much more interesting around here." Silena nodded, and turned to leave immediately, but Tymildra added, "fledgling. There are four of them, and you don't seem one bit afraid. You even claim as if you're immune to fire. I wonder if you'll tell me more of yourself and your mysteries one day?"
Silena turned to her, one foot already in the lift, tying her dark hair in a high ponytail in preparation for action. In a soft, un-betraying voice she answered, "some of the mysteries are not mine to tell." She glanced at her Maker with a sad smile, kickstarted the lift into motion and departed from their sights.

From the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Department of Internal Medicine, The Ohio State University Medical Center, Columbus
1997 by the American College of Chest Physicians
Background: Initial investigations demonstrated a deficiency of glutathione (GSH) in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of HIV-seropositive patients. In a recent study, our laboratory was unable to document such a deficiency. The current study was performed in an attempt to reconcile those disparate findings.
Study objectives: To determine if ELF GSH decreases over time in asymptomatic HIV-seropositive subjects.
Design: Prospective, longitudinal study.
Setting: Major university medical center.
Patients or participants: Thirty-three asymptomatic HIV-seropositive volunteers.
Interventions: None.
Measurements and results: BAL was performed on 33 asymptomatic HIV-seropositive subjects at baseline, 6 months later, and 12 months later. The volume of ELF and the concentration of GSH and oxidized GSH were determined. The concentration of total GSH in ELF was 689.0±100.4 µM. This significantly decreased when measured 6 and 12 months later (355.9±41.7 µM, and 397.9±52.7 µM, respectively, p=0.01, compared with baseline, both comparisons). Significant decreases were also noted in the HIV-seropositive subjects who smoked cigarettes (baseline—762.6±142.4 µM; 6 months—373.7±45.9 µM; 12 months—459.3±73.8 µM, p<0.03, for baseline vs 6 months, and baseline vs 12 months). In nonsmoking HIV-seropositive subjects, there was a decrease in ELF GSH over time, but it did not reach statistical significance (baseline—589.1±138.2 µM; 6 months—335.3±74.1 µM; 12 months—345.8±74.0 µM, p>0.1, all comparisons). The percentage of total GSH in the oxidized form was similar at all three time points (baseline—3.8±0.5%; 6 months—3.1±0.5%; 12 months—3.9±0.9%, p>0.1, all comparisons).
Conclusions: The current study demonstrates that the GSH level in ELF is significantly decreased in HIV-seropositive subjects 6 and 12 months after the initial determination.

text: Any brining recommendations? I did a 30 hour brine with soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, brandy, etc.... and then used soaked hickory chips (all I had at the time). Recipe said to smoke for two hours at 225 degrees. They weren't half done by that time, and I did another five hours at 135 degrees and most were still not done. Is anyone else having this experience where the smoking time is a good number of hours? Brine vs no brine?Thanks R-View Instructable »

In 3100 A.D., global warming has caused the sea level to rise and engulf the streets of Brooklyn. The land is gone, but society rebuilds the city on top of existing structures, connecting buildings through a network of sky bridges. As the upper class literally moves higher, law enforcement abandons the lower parts of the city, and its less-affluent inhabitants. To meet the upper city's demand for laborers, city leaders contract the Brooklyn Institute of Technology (B.I.T.) to clone a new working class. At the time, the B.I.T. Labs had made incredible advances in cloning; Neanderthals were chosen as the main focus of the research based on their physical resilience. The city's contract called for far more Neanderthal clones than were required, causing the excess and sub-standard Neo-Neanderthals to be discarded to the dregs of the city. The well established mob entity known as the Merchants of Brooklyn saw a lucrative opportunity here – use the bottom dwellers for high stakes fights to the death. It became the new sport of under-city kings. In MERCHANTS OF BROOKLYN, You take the role of an elite Neanderthal fighter with a taste for blood. Having had your arm unwillingly detached from your body courtesy of a chainsaw, your new prototype biomechanical arm transforms into different twisted and brutal weaponry to aid you in the slaughter. Your goal: escape from the under city and free your brethren to take over the upper utopian empire to do with as you please.

Recently, I was thinking to myself, what would the world look like if things started to go our way more and more? And, as if by magic, we were to have a perfect day? A day where all the little things (and some big things as well) turned out to be far beyond our expectations. What would we want for each other and ourselves, and would YOU be open to at least some of that happening? Wouldn't it be such FUN, just to think about it?
On that note, I am sharing my wishes FOR YOU, with you, for today.
Just KNOW, that there is someone (me) wishing them for you, believing they are possible, and imagining them happening to you, the person reading these words right now. Expect the unexpected! Enjoy your day.
Love and blessings, Veronica
Dear Heart
Today, I wish for you…
Doors opening widely and invitingly, where they had previously been closed, shut.
Sincere compliments from charming strangers, who might end up being friends.
Unexpected, delightful money – coins, cash, bank notes, legal tender.
Succulent, melt in your mouth, to die for, chocolate.
Fascinating, riveting conversation.
Your favourite outfit on sale for 90% off.
Your winning numbers finally coming in.
A good-hair day.
A warm, soft, sweet smile that comes straight from inside someone's heart.
Enough laugher to make your sides ache.
All green lights along your journey's way.
Intriguing winks from a captivating admirer across a crowded room.
Everyone delightfully and most respectfully moving aside for you, as you move about your day.
Opportunities appearing from out of nowhere, ripe and ready to embark upon.
That certain someone you have been thinking about, calling you out of the blue.
A lost and cherished possession unexpectedly returning back to you.
A chance encounter with a kind and generous benefactor.
A secret from your past, revealing big changes in your life, for the better.
The innocent wish you made upon a star, or put under your pillow, all those years ago, finally coming true now.
A FREE, Starbucks latte, with lots of whipped cream on top. (Don't forget to wipe your nose off after this one.)
Something simply beautiful, in your mail box.
Something simply amazing in your email, that makes you want to kiss your computer.
Extra long cuddles, hugs and kisses from the beloved, furry creatures in your life.
Taking the first step, (perhaps trembling just a little), towards a long, lost and cherished dream.
A text message so exciting, you can't put your phone down all day.
The answer to your most heartfelt prayer.
Someone in your life who makes you glad you got up this morning. (hopefully me)
And last, but not least, an unexpected MIRACLE!

Current versions:
PeaZip is an archiving program with innovative optics and many setting possibilities.
Do you know that? You download files from the Internet or you pull data from the computer of your buddies, friends are packed in any complicated and exotic formats, but you can not open with the usual discharge Pack programs. PeaZip is a general-purpose alternative now.
PeaZip is the Universalver - and unpacker, when it comes to archived files. Hardly a freeware can decipher how this useful tool which has helped so many users bail out so many different formats. In addition to the usual and widespread formats ZIP, ISO or RAR, PeaZip recognizes rare archive formats such as DEB, 7ZIP or PAQ. In addition to the discharge Pack function PeaZip offers a packaged function in all available formats. But not every rare format offers also the security that no one can read this except a user of PeaZip. Therefore, you can set up security technical hurdles to generate encrypted archives. In addition to the generation of a password, it is possible to link the archive with a keyfile. Only if this keyfile does exist, can unpack the archive and is usable for others.
In addition to the high safety standards and the variety of editable archive forms, PeaZip offers also some surprises. You can both individually adapt skin as the user interface to your desktop, or create interesting contrasts, quite as you want. Who wanted to take advantage of ever many functions for an archiving program or the monotonous appearance of commercially available RAR and ZIP archiver enough, for the PeaZip offers a really good alternative. Particularly with regard to the freeware status of the software which you will rarely find a programme with these settings and the innovative and modern user surface appearance.
Especially bugs were fixed. The fixes were integrated into the version.

Three months out from a general election and in the last sitting week of parliament, Australia's embattled prime minister, Julia Gillard, is facing yet another bid to replace her with Kevin Rudd.
Gillard has announced that a ballot for leadership of the governing Labor party, and therefore the prime ministership, will be held at 7pm on Wednesday and Rudd has confirmed he will stand against her.
"We are on course for a catastrophic defeat unless there is change," Rudd said, adding that he accepted an ultimatum from the PM to retire from the federal parliament if he lost the ballot.
Australia's first female PM made the dramatic decision to hold a snap vote in a bid to head off Rudd backers who had started gathering signatures on a petition to force the matter to a ballot.
The petition, being circulated by supporters of Kevin Rudd – the man she ousted as prime minister three years ago this week – had called for a special meeting of Labor parliamentarians, known as the caucus, where a leadership ballot could take place. As rumblings about the petition were building on a dramatic sitting day of parliament, Gillard brought the matter to a head by announcing the ballot and declaring that whoever lost – herself or Rudd – should quit parliament.
There have been weeks of intensive leadership speculation during which Rudd supporters have openly campaigned against the prime minister. Several opinion polls returned results that, if repeated on election day in September, would deliver a crushing defeat to the governing Labor party.
Throughout, Gillard has made it clear that she will not stand down. While the petition was being circulated she answered questions in parliament. "I can assure the Australian people that as the prime minister I am getting on with the job," she told MPs.
Gillard derided the petition as being like the Loch Ness monster: no one was sure whether they had seen it. "I haven't seen this petition," she told Sky News.
"Call me old-fashioned but the way in which these things are normally done is a challenger approaches the leader of the Labor party and asks them to call a ballot for the leadership, they shake hands, and then a ballot is held," she told Sky News Australia.
"That hasn't happened." Gillard said that while she had not seen the petition, it was "in the best interest of the nation and the Labor party for these issues to be resolved".
Rudd responded: "Many many MPs have requested me for a long long time to contest the leadership of the party because of the parlous state in which we find ourselves.
"For the nation's sake I think it's time this issue was resolved."
For observers of Australian politics it is a case of deja vu all over again, with leadership tension dogging Gillard – the country's first female prime minister - for the entire duration of this hung parliament.
In February 2012 Kevin Rudd was resoundingly defeated by Gillard 71 to 31 in a caucus ballot and went to the backbench.
In March this year Gillard called another leadership "spill" – effectively declaring her role and the office of prime minister open – after one of her most senior cabinet ministers withdrew his support and called for the party to clear the air over leadership once and for all.
But instead of challenging, Rudd astounded observers by refusing to run against her. Ten minutes before the vote was due to take place Rudd said the only way he would return as prime minister was if an overwhelming majority of Labor party MPs drafted him and if the position was vacant. Neither condition had been met.
Despite then asserting that he could not see any circumstances in which he would lead the Labor party in the future, his supporters continued to brief against the prime minister and the soap opera continued, culminating in Wednesday's petition, Gillard's announcement and Rudd's confirmation that he will mount a challenge.
If there is a change of leadership a number of options would then arise, including the possibility of an early election or the government changing hands to the opposition Liberal-National coalition led by Tony Abbott if the independent MPs who hold the balance of power in parliament refuse to support a new Labor prime minister.
In announcing his decision to stand, Rudd said: "I believe what the nation needs now is strong, proven, economic leadership. Mr Abbott's alternative economic policy is to copy the British conservatives.
"The Australian people deserve a competitive choice at this election. I do not seek to fudge the fact I have changed my position on the leadership."
Thirty-five signatures out of a caucus of 102 would have been needed on the petition to force a vote for the leadership but Gillard's announcement made this a moot point.

Tyler knew what he had to do. The shell-shocked feeling that came with seeing wolves as big as cars was gone but so was the eerie calm that had descended on him when the girl had shown up. Before her appearance, he had been sure of his own death. After all, the wolves had only been playing with him, getting ready to move in for the kill. Then she had materialized, white as the snow, distinguished from it by only her black sweatshirt and hair. And now she was slumped against a tree trunk, as motionless as the dead wolves. Blood stained the snow all around her like a halo and her left leg was bent at an unholy angle somewhere in between her knee and ankle.
He had to help her. Tentative to break the thick, unnatural silence Tyler called out to her but she didn't respond. Unbeknown to him, Helena was sinking deeper and deeper into a fog. Pain was fading along with all light and color and sound. Everything was cold and dark.
It didn't take a doctor to know that time was running out. Tyler tried to get up and move towards her but he couldn't feel his toes, or feet, or anything from the knees down. In fact, he couldn't feel much of anything anymore. His hands were purple, his feet almost black and, despite the adrenaline rush from almost being killed by a pack of mutant wolves, he was starting to feel extremely tired. But he couldn't just give in. This girl had risked her life, and probably lost it, trying to save him. If the least he could do was let her know it was appreciated, albeit in vain, then he would have to do it. Using his elbows, which he could still feel somehow, he crawled the short distance between them.
Up close he could see the blood splattered in her hair and on her face. He could see the dark stain of blood on her darker jacket. And he could see that she was incredibly beautiful. Tyler reached out and touched her hand, hoping to get her to open her eyes and look at him. Then he could at least say 'thank you.' She didn't move or respond at all to his touch. Tyler, sure that cruel fate had already taken her, felt a flare of intense fury unlike anything he'd experienced before. And then it happened.
First, a clap of thunder echoed so loud that it rattled the teeth in his head. Then a bolt of lightning seemed to come down straight from heaven itself and strike their hands where they met. The sensation was unlike anything Tyler had ever felt before. Acute pain burned his hand while a calming, warm wave washed over the rest of his body. And then, as suddenly it had come, it was gone and it took his numbness with it. All of his frostbite was gone but not just that, it was like he had never been cold at all, like it was a warm summer day rather than a cold winter night. As the warmth spread through him, he looked up from where he lay in the snow and saw a pair of crystalline blue eyes staring back at him.
For a moment, Tyler couldn't speak or move or do much of anything until her eyes slid closed again. He didn't worry though, because he knew, and he wasn't sure how he knew, that she would be alright, just as he knew that he would also be alright. He stood, now that he was able, and carefully picked up the girl who had saved his life, careful not to disturb her injuries. He wasn't sure what had just happened or if the girl had been healed like he had but her shirt was still covered in blood. Following his own trail, he walked silently and reverently back to his car. As he went he stayed warm, the snow failing to even freeze his toes. It was a warmth that would stay with him even after he got home.

BUG REPORT: After an update of the OpenStorage (OST) plug-in, NetBackup may report status code 129 and "EMM status: Insufficient disk space or High Water Mark would be exceeded Disk storage unit is full(129)" more frequently due to a change in the method of calculation of free space on the storage unit.
Error Message
NBU status: 129, EMM status: Insufficient disk space or High Water Mark would be exceeded Disk storage unit is full(129)
Bug: 2085594
After applying version 2.x.x.x or higher of the Data Domain OST (OpenStorage) plug-in, a higher amount of used space may be reported on the storage unit due to changes in data collection and communication between NetBackup and the plug-in. It may also apply to other vendor OST plug-in as well.
Log Files:
Messages similar to the following may be seen in the Activity Monitor:
Error nbjm(pid=10112) NBU status: 129, EMM status: Insufficient disk space or High Water Mark would be exceeded Disk storage unit is full(129)
Note: The nbjm pid will vary per master server.
1. Increase the storage unit's High Water Mark (HWM).
2. Downgrade the OST plug-in to version 188.8.131.52.
Note: If this issue is experienced, Symantec Corporation recommends upgrading to the latest version.
NetBackup 7.1 has a fix that can be enabled with the following implementation:
The new behavior must be enabled on a per storage server type basis by creating a touch file on each media and master server. The touch file is named REPLACE_LOGICAL_WITH_PHYSICAL_CAPACITY.<stype> where "<stype>" represents a specific storage server type. Only when the touch file exists will the logical values be replaced by the physical values (physical values remain unmodified) for the specific storage server type. Create the touch file in the directory where the storage server plugin is installed.
Unix example:
Windows example:
C:\Program Files\Veritas\Netbackup\bin\ost-plugins\REPLACE_LOGICAL_WITH_PHYSICAL_CAPACITY.DataDomain
In these examples, the storage server type <stype> is "DataDomain." To determine the <stype> of a storage server, execute the admincmd nbdevquery to list the storage servers:
nbdevquery -liststs -U
In the output of that command, the Storage Server Type field is the <stype>. Note: the string is case sensitive.
Symantec has acknowledged that the above-mentioned issue (Etrack 2085594) is present in the current version(s) of the product(s) mentioned at the end of this article. Symantec is committed to product quality and satisfied customers. The formal resolution for this issue is included in the following release:
