When it comes to speed limits, how fast is too fast? And how slow is too slow?
U.S. states have been allowed to set their own speed standards since 1995, which means speed limits (and opinions about those limits) vary widely. But recently, the clamor for raising maximum speeds on highways has been getting louder. In 2012, Texas raised its maximum speed limit to 85 (the highest in the nation). Then, in August, Illinois passed a law raising its speed limit on rural highways to 70. Two Michigan senators are also currently proposing legislation that will boost speed limits on a variety of roads.
And just a few weeks ago, a video protesting the "artificially low" speed limits in British Columbia became an internet sensation both in Canada and America. The video, released by advocacy group Sense B.C., claims that low speed limits on highways actually create risk because the few drivers who obey the limit obstruct the safe flow of traffic. It goes on to suggest that revenue, not safety, is the real reason behind the limits. (Warning: this video contains occasional curse words, anti-government sentiment, and Canadian accents. Viewers, be aware.)
Currently, 34 states in the U.S. have speed limits of 70 or higher on at least some of their roadways. Are the limits in other states artificially low or a reasonable precaution?
What is a safe speed anyway?
Interestingly, the drivers themselves determine this — most people will drive in a manner appropriate to the conditions and will ignore an unrealistically high or low speed limit. This is why, in the U.S., Canada, and other countries, limits are often set using the "eighty-fifth percentile" (the speed at or below which 85 percent of traffic is moving). Those who drive significantly faster or slower than this speed are more likely to crash.
In that case, should we have speed limits at all? Some roads, like much of Germany's famed autobahn, have no limits. This may seem like a recipe for disaster, but when a German politician recently proposed 75 mph limits for the autobahn, his idea was met with scorn. The ADAC, a German and European motorists' association, pointed out that only 11 percent of Germany's serious accidents happen on the autobahn, even though it accommodates a third of the country's traffic. The ADAC spokesperson didn't say how many of those accidents were speed related, however.
Do lower speed limits save lives?
According to studies, yes. When the U.S. repealed federal speed limit controls in 1995, the result was a 3.2 percent jump in road fatalities over the next 10 years. But while the higher speed limits increased fatalities overall, some studies claim that higher speeds on interstates may have saved lives by drawing traffic away from more dangerous non-interstate roads.
Here's one thing no one is debating: speed is directly related to the severity of a crash. According to the World Health Association, the risk of a crash resulting in a fatality is 20 times greater at 50 mph than at 19 mph. So, if you do get in an accident going 85 in Texas or 120 on the autobahn, it's likely to be a bad one.
Is revenue the issue?
Driver advocacy groups like Sense B.C. claim that speed limits are often set artificially low so police can hand out more tickets. Assuming the eighty-fifth percentile is correct, drivers are naturally inclined to ignore unrealistic limits, so their chances of being caught speeding in those zones are much greater. Whether or not some limits are set too low intentionally is hard to say, but, along with the recent push to raise speed limits, there is also a movement in several states to outlaw speed traps. And Michigan's state police have come out in favor of higher speed limits, saying speed limits that are too low put them in the position of ticketing responsible drivers.
Are higher speed limits in the U.S. inevitable?
It's starting to seem that way, but there are also many advocates for keeping speed limits low. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) believes there's an obvious safety trade-off with higher limits. "When speed limits go up, people go faster, and eventually that results in more crashes and more deaths," said IIHS Senior Vice President Anne McCartt. Driving at higher speeds also takes a big toll on your fuel efficiency.
What's your opinion? Are 55 and 65 mph speed limits archaic or do higher limits just give drivers a license to go too fast? Tell us what you think.

We are currently migrating the IMWA internet presentation to a new version of the content management system. Therefore, you will notice some inconsistencies in the appearance of some web pages. We apologize for any inconvenience this will cause. We are expecting to be finished with the migration soon.
Members of the International Mine Water Association (IMWA) share a common interest in mine water and mine drainage issues, though we arrive with different skills, backgrounds, and specialized expertise, in disciplines that range from science (e.g. chemistry, hydrogeology, microbiology, geophysics) to engineering (mostly mining and civil). Our Association has 518 members, including pragmatic consultants and mining company employees, academic researchers (faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates), and government scientists and regulators. Mine water, as we understand it, comprises acid mine drainage (AMD), neutral mine drainage (NMD) and alkaline mine drainage as well as its prevention, control, and treatment.
Our dues are low (60 € since 2016) and all dues-paying members receive our quarterly journal, Mine Water and the Environment, and discounts at all of our annual Symposia and Congresses.

I set out this morning to build a chart listing the various features of the major music subscription services: Rdio, Rhapsody, Spotify, and we assume the recently-launched Google Play Music All Access, although it remains to be seen whether it will succeed on the level of those standalone music services — or whether it will become an also-ran from a company whose main business is something else (like Microsoft XBox Live Music, Sony Music Unlimited, or "MOG by Beats").
The pointlessness of that endeavor became apparent rather quickly. They're all so similar, essentially offering the same music (Google has about 20 million songs right out of the gate, which is on par with the rest, and four million more than MOG says it has right now).
All of their apps play music offline (i.e. locally, without streaming the music over WiFi or a cell data connection), which is great, because it's an important feature — but not one that can be used to distinguish between these services. (In Google Play, offline playback is indicated with a Pin icon.) They also have radio features that can play music without you choosing every single song, although those vary in quality.
In terms of the big picture, the most important issue in music right now is how to collect music in these overwhelming times, when music comes at us from all angles. However, all four of the services mentioned at the top of this article are capable of grabbing the music you've collected on your hard drive and zapping it up to the cloud, from where you can listen to it on all your connected devices, so there's no real difference there.
Spotify and Google do stand out in one important regard: Their mobile apps can play MP3s you've imported into the desktop client (in the case of Spotify) or uploaded to the cloud (in the case of Google) — a feature that's missing from Rdio and Rhapsody.
All other things being equal, which they almost are, we're just going to focus on specific reasons why you should or should not use the new Google Play Music All Access music subscription, rather than Spotify, Rdio, or Rhapsody.
Pro: It's Cheaper (Right Now)
Music subscriptions typically cost $10 per month if you want the ability to carry music around on things that aren't traditional computers. However, if you sign up for Google Play Music All Access before June 30, you'll be locked in at a discounted rate of $8/month.
Pro: Downloading Actual Music Files from the Cloud
In the case of music in your Google Play account that you uploaded from a hard drive — as in, you own the actual MP3 somewhere — you can download those files from Google Play. (As we mentioned above, both Spotify and Google let you play those songs on your connected devices, but this is about downloading.) Because it's also a locker service, only Google among the major music subscriptions lets you download those uploaded files. It only lets you do this to computers (i.e. not to Androids), but still, it's a difference, and an important one to people who use lots of computers and/or still have a straight-up MP3 or CD player that doesn't run apps.
Con: Credit Card Required
Google's partying like it's 2005 in this regard, requiring a valid credit card if you want to try the service for free for 30 days, at which point the charges will kick in automatically, unless you set yourself a reminder to unsubscribe after 29 days. Spotify, Rdio, and MOG switched to a freemium model after Spotify did it first, so that you can use those for free without entering a credit card. Google will save money here, but it's a decidedly lamer way to try something out from a consumer perspective.
Con: No App Ecosystem
If you like the apps that run within Spotify for the desktop, you'll need to stick with that, because nobody else has anything close.
Con: No iOS Version
There's no native Google Play for iOS. You can entrust a third-party app with your precious Gmail credentials, however, in order to use it — but then that leaves the question of whether All Access files will play in those. James Clancey, the developer behind gMusic, says this:
The current app store version of gMusic does not support Google Play Music All Access. However, I did just send out a beta last night that allows you to play music from it. I am currently working on integrating the rest of the new features like radio stations. Also my search isn't tied into it yet, but all of that is coming very soon.As for user information, I am not totally sure. I do not track any user information at all. I don't even have a server. I just keep to playing music. I do not even have the desire to look into getting personal information.
Con: No Scrobbling to Last.fm or Facebook
Evolver.fm has confirmed with Google spokeswoman Gina Weakley that Google Play Music All Access does not have Facebook integration, meaning that your Facebook friends can't see what you're playing there. If you like that feature, Google's music subscription is not for you. Likewise, we are not seeing any Last.fm integration, so if you like to scrobble, you're out of luck there too.
For some Android folks, Google's option is going to make sense. Hopefully this article will help inform that decision.

Tess Giuliani
This award-winning project began with a picture, and the color blue. Her client came to her with a picture of a cobalt blue Viking gas range and said, "Tess, I want you to design me a kitchen around this range."
The client was a dedicated cook, with a large collection of cookbooks that needed a graceful home in a real working kitchen. There were four children in the family, two away at school, and the family spent a lot of time entertaining and in the kitchen. The home was a large, Gothic style new construction.
"I feel this is the best kitchen I ever designed — and one of the most unusual," says Tess. "To begin with, I had a client with courage. It takes courage to request a kitchen with a color finish on the appliances."
It was up to Tess to blend the design elements harmoniously, while creating the feeling she sensed her client was looking for. "I planned a space that translated my client's vision into a beautiful design." To complement the cobalt blue ranges, she chose Bahia blue granite from Brazil for the counters. The cabinetry was from Sterling Custom Cabinetry, installed by Ulrich, Inc. Especially critical integrating the space are the dramatic arches that were built to tie together the angled entrances with the kitchen's high ceilings, while complementing the harmonious lines of the home as a whole.
"When my client first walked in, she could only say, 'I love it. I love it. Tess, I love you — it's more than I ever expected.'"
Tess also credits Viking and her Viking distributor, Carl Schaedel & Co., Inc., Fairfield, New Jersey. "They have a great showroom," says Tess. "And Viking is so dramatic. It fits in well in any kind of room, large or small. Viking really changed the focus of emphasis in kitchen design. I really think nothing is as interesting as Viking."

Keng Fu Lo-raytext Fine Furnishings Co., Ltd Retail
At Design Interviews
Interview with KENG FU LO : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. KENG FU LO : Function, ergonomics, comfortable feeling of the dyed leather and fine sewing craft are always emphasized by Switzerland classic furniture brand -de sede. It shows combination of warm atmosphere and life, therefore, designer deigns the space base on the idea of emphasizing the value of products, so that the expressions of color tone and atmosphere are cold to make customers have better feeling toward vision and sense of touch on products. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. KENG FU LO : Considering the client may introduce another classic furniture brand and maintaining the brand difference, the individual entrance and office area is designed between two exhibition areas. It is not only provided for De sede Kaohsiung shop, but also serve customers base on different needs of brands. The rare construction material- U glass shows the coherence of two spaces. Semi- penetrable decoration material is used to suggest the link with future space, as well as variable segmentation is provided. .Frank Scott: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?. KENG FU LO : The base is located in Kaohsiung Taiwan. It is a display showroom for few brands of furniture. It includes furniture display area and service space. U shape glass is used to demonstrate the connection of different furniture brands markets. Half penetrated decoration material is used to describe the change of future indirectly. Stone floor provides the direction to living space and leather sample collection. The height of floor is used to make a platform through the rising slope. It not only decreases the height transition between upper and low space, but also reduces the psychological burden when we are moving within floors. .

The most common question asked at a PoundWorld?…"How much is this?"
With this we are introduced to new documentary series looking into the world of Pound shops. Anyone who has paid even the most casual attention to the range of shops on the high street could not have helped notice the emergence of these brand of uber discounters.
Poundland, PoundWorld, PoundStretcher and even in this ultra-discounted sector there is is a sub sector for those who find £1 a bit of a stretch, the 99p stores
Today we introduced to the £1 bra (accompanied by a raft of the inevitable and incredibly dreary puns!). PoundWorld launched these as a new product range and two questions immediately spring to mind, will anyone buy it or how did they make it so cheap.
To answer the first question we have to take a segway to the 1989 film Field of Dream, where the hero is inspired build a baseball park by his belief that build it and they shall come and in the film against all odds he built it and they came.
The world of pound shops is somewhat similar, price it cheap enough and they will come to buy it. In the case of the £1 bra, with the help of some publicity from the titillating tabloid press involving a trampoline, PoundWorld sold an incredible 100,000 in ten days and over the rest of the summer sold over 700,000.
So how do they do it? The answer is China. Cheap materials, cheap manufacturing costs and all that is left is to price them low and stack them high is the formula the propels this phenomenon.
It is a somewhat sad indictment of what our society has become, so resolutely consumerist, consuming because it is there and cheap not because we have to. If the consumerism is our new religion these shops may not be the cathedrals of the religion they are more like the missionaries pushing and spreading the consumerism deep into the furthest reaches of society.

How is RID 2015?
I haven't seen any of the new show yet, I was hoping to find out how it is before watching?
How does it compare to Prime and other past shows?
Re: How is RID 2015?
It's fun. Lots of personality and character exploration. The first season doesn't have a whole lot of overarching story focus to it, but neither did Prime's first season nor Beast Wars's first season, and I definitely put it above Prime's first season (which I could barely stand compared to Prime's vastly superior second and third seasons). It has a similar feel to Animated, but just a tad more serious (it's still funny, but not quite as funny as Animated tended to be). The only thing I didn't much like at all was the season finale, but overall, I like the show.
We got a thread for watching all 26 episodes of season 1 here.
"When there's gold feathers, punch behind you!!"
"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." -- C.S. Lewis
Re: How is RID 2015?
I agree with everything Sabrblade said there, about it being almost like animated.
I just finished my DVD set of season 1, my biggest disappointment about the entire show so far is the lack of decent toys, especially for amazing decepticons like kickback, chopshop, and others, that we are getting. In that regard animated has it beat hands down, since we got tons of great animated toys when the show was running.
Biggest unanswered question I have so far about the plot is something Megatronus said about getting his power from someone else, and since Unicron is KOd during Prime and RID 2015 I have a feeling its not Unicron...
Will be getting DVD season 2 set when it comes out, the show is fun once you get into it.
EDIT: by my lack of decent toys comment, I mean that alot of them we are getting are one steppers and such, however, I will note that the good ones we get are pretty good, in the warrior class, just wish they had done it more like animated and given us some decent voyager class maybe as well.
The coward desires revenge but being afraid to die, he looks to others, maybe to the government of the day, to do the work of defense for him.

Helen Brasinika-Vivifying Minimalism Corporate Design
At Design Interviews
Interview with Helen Brasinika : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Helen Brasinika : The main inspiration for the design identity came from zen philosophy and the dyadic nature of cosmos. The desire was to create a contemporary space that customizes therapies based on advanced technology while offering classic treatments as well. The resulting design proposal was to create a dynamic space that emits the austerity of scientific labs to the familiar connotations and warmth of classic interiors. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Helen Brasinika : The design scheme stemmed from the companies deliverable to create a contemporary space with reference to scientific labs, yet to refrain from their dominating cold austerity. We wanted to create a balancing scheme between scientific and classic warm spa and wellness ambience. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Helen Brasinika : We would like to promote it online and on classic hardcopy editions and get from it the most of publicity and marketing. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Helen Brasinika : 6 months including construction and delivery phase. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Helen Brasinika : It was a commision for the first branch of a new brand in wellness and cosmetology. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Helen Brasinika : Used by the customer .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Helen Brasinika : Customer commission .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Helen Brasinika : International influences and local context, trying always to translate context using a more international architectural and design language. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Helen Brasinika : Women or men that wish to buy wellness and cosmetology programs facial and body rejuvenation and repair. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Helen Brasinika : Regarding Greek competition its design is very groundbreaking, dynamic contemporary while adhering strictly to the marketing policy and services of the company in terms of familiarity with the greek target customer. It follows design rules and concepts that are used by international peers and the resulting outcome looks more international than local. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Helen Brasinika : Vivify means rejuvenate. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Helen Brasinika : Various design tools and concepts. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Helen Brasinika : The application of a sweet color pallete that combines taste, desire with reason and science, and the combination of material and textures. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Helen Brasinika : Yes, various companies during the construction and manufacting process, since all the items and furnishings were custom designed and manufactured for the purpose of this design identity. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Helen Brasinika : Very important since, CAD/CAM softwares were used for the design and manufacturing while advanced technology was used for enhanced formulas and minerals to be applied on floors and walls special milling and drilling machines to give different nature to common materials and finishes like wood and metal. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Helen Brasinika : As part of our design process, research findings in the international field is always incorporated in the concept design, while international research in materials and finishes is conducted in order to stay informed and following design trends. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Helen Brasinika : For wider publicity coverage and to add the value status of a respected and recognized design award. .

This ron is very nice. Strongly, but very good. Satisfaction.
Selección de Maestros surely is no rhum for everyday. But which Cuban Rhum is it? Due to limitations of innovation and technical improvement over past decades the rhum is characterized by the typical dry taste of Cuban rhums.
This edition of Havanna Club is strong in taste, starts with a punch at first but gets followed by a long-lasting intensive taste of Wood, citrus and leather. I love this rhum and when I had enjoyed a special dinner it's the right choice to finish the evening with a cigar!
During the week I prefer others, easier rhums ...
I got this one as b-day present from my colleagues. I really enjoy that bottle. Great full flavor, very smooth, just at right level of sweetness. So easy to sip that I finished bottle sooner than I would like :)
Kubánsky rum v o.k. fľaši s modrou etiketou...=) to sa len tak nevidí. Má peknú jantárovú až mahagónovú farbi. Po naliatí typická kubánska vôňa, dominuje kakao, tabak, snáď orechy. Zacítil som aj hrozienka, rum má skôr ťažšiu, zemitejšu arómu. Chuť celkom kopíruje aromatické vnemy, je veľmi dobre vyvážený, komplexný, neskôr je zemitý, v dlhšom závere je cítiť aj drevo. Rum je stáčaný do fliaš priamo zo sudov, preto nesie aj označenie "barrel proof". Povedal by som, že tento suchší rum je skôr pre skúsenejšieho rumového degustátora...slušná práca maestrov ronerov...je to dobrý rum, ale nie pre každého.
Super go rom. Klart den beste Havana club jeg har prøvet
Truly rich in taste and flavours...I always start thirsty and within few weeks a slow down as the bottle is getting more and more empty. This is a perfect rum for gift(it comes in a stylish packaging), dinners, etc.
No bad, but you can find much better rums in this price range
Only just getting into rum and most certainly not an expert in any ways but I would say its a very good effort. I have had my share of rums over the years and I found Selection de maestro to be very smooth. I tend to find common rums to be enjoyable when mixed but on its own they can be a bit too sharp for me. Nothing special and relatively high in price but I would recommend it. Bottle looks nice, accompanying canister doesn't add value for me at all.
This rum is unusual to me. Although it has a lightly strong alcohol taste (45%) the flavour is very well balanced, don't know if smooth is the right word here as alcohol presence still hits hards. It tastes a bit fresh with lot of wood (typically Havana Club I would say), a bit of leather and much more probably I can't describe, not sweet at all, very dry. The first glass surprises as it is really interesting, but it is difficult to drink a second one immediately after it, you get enough of it very soon too. Does not make a good mixer and for the price I would not recommend that. I have divided feelings about this rum: I like it and don't at the same time.
Was given to me as a gift from a very popular rum aficionado. My only previous experience with Cuban rum was Havana Club Anejo Especial which I found had a strong tobacco taste. This one is quite different. Somewhat strong smell, but with a no excuses flair. Still quite a bite, but much smoother than the Anejo. Not too much sweetness, and still a taste of tobacco but much lighter. It has a bit of a burn, but not too strong. Overall a nice addition to the collection.
Un detalle que me trajo un buen amigo. Compré unas piedras para enfriar el trago con el fin de poder degustarlo en su plenitud. Buen cuerpo, buen retro gusto. Otro que vale la pena
One of the tastiest rums I've had. Very smooth and wonderful aftertaste. Easy to drink straight up.
With some of the cheaper Havana clubs being some of my favs I expected way more at 3 times the price. $150 here.
The canister is pretty crappy for a bottle in this price range. Very cheaply made.
The bottle looks ok, but the cork on mine is very loose.
Smell, smells like diluted isopropyl alcohol & looks the same when swirled in the glass with an oily residue left clinging to the sides. Not a bad thing. Just means a longer aftertaste.
Taste. Was a shock to me at 1st. BITTER! yuck. Even after adding copious amounts of coke the bitterness stood out like dogs balls. Still I have to add it was pretty smooth & drinks very easy. Have given it a couple of weeks to oxidise & the results are pretty much similar to when 1st opened except to a lesser degree now. + I've gotten used to the bitterness.
Won't buy again, but would, if it was 3 times cheaper, just to have something different occasionally. But at the current price I'd rather grab 3 bottles of the reservea or 7 yr old. Or even better yet, try something totally new to me.
Update: Got used to the bitterness now & started to enjoy it, so moved it up 1 place
It has sweet cherry undertones, deep golden almost brown colours and will stay with you till the next time you can find it. Rare as Bigfoot this one, I've only found it in one bar and the proprietor used to travel to Cuba for a month every year so knows his rum. Expensive but worth it.
Havana Club Selección de Maestros Rum skuffede mig virkelig meget, jeg er lige ved at sige - skrive, at den burde drikkes med cola, men efter at have gensmagt den, har den vundet meget - eller min smag ændret sig.
Absolutely love this rum if you are going to Cuba this is a must have to add to your collection.
Cuban rum has a Spanish style to it meaning shorter fermentation period and column still use creating a lighter rum as opposed to say, British rum with its longer fermentation process and pot still distilling technique creating a heavier more robust rum.
A classic Cuban rum that should be included in all rum connoisseurs-collection or house staple. A better representation than its younger sibling, the 7 year old, but without the steep price associated with its older 15 year old, this NAS rum is very smooth and with a drop of water tends to bring out flavors and aromas on a different level than by drinking it straight up.
Fruit, citrus, wood, tobacco combined with some vanilla and treacle sweetness. Makes for a fine sipper straight up or with a splash of water. Use the Reserva, 3 or 7 year old to make your Cuba Libre's or other mixed drinks...
Had this one on my wishlist for a long time. And this rum does not let you down. A beautifull havana fruity palette of aged vanilla sweetness. Got to admit that i binged most part of this smooth goodness on great party with dear friends. I saved a couple of glasses for a more intimate tasting with a good cigar. Hail to the havana rum makers this was the best havana i drank to date!
I was waiting to drink that rum many months....always I choose something different. But that's on my list. Last days I tried it....what a disappointment.... :/ ok maybe it's good balanced... but taste, aroma, colour - everything is maximum avarage. Nothing to recommend.
Did't know the price of this when i tasted it. At the tasting I thought it was a cheap one.
Round spicy smooth and fruity taste with a pleasant smoky oak aftertaste.
The rum that got me interested in rums. Although to be fair, it could have been the barrel proof. It's been some years. Tasted it at a friend of a friend's house. It surprised me with how tasteful and complex rum could be.
Recently, I received a bottle from my friends after finishing graduate school. Have yet to open it, but will update this review when I do. Curious to find if it can live up to the fairy tail taste my memory has created.
Un gust placut cu un aftertaste foarte interesant. Putin cam spirtos dar se merita investitia. Good choice
Po zkusenostech s Havana Club 3 leta - vhodna spise pouze do kokteilu, havana Especial, ktera je trochu sladsi a uspokoji na bezne posrkavani vecer u televize a nabizi nejlepsi pomer cena vykon, pres 7-mi leta, ze ktere jsem byl zklamany, protoze za ty penize existuje milion lepsich rumu je toto zatim nejlepsi havana, kterou jsem pil. Zachovava si svuj kubansky charakter, je ostrejsi, ale nadherne vonava, minimalne sladka ale s vuni po medu, s vyraznou chuti po kuzi, tabaku a dubovem dreve a orechach. doporicuji
When I smell this rum, it's like the smell of Cuba. Where I was on holliday last year

Yahoo! joins Amazon in literary Google snub
You can't have our trade secrets
Yahoo! has refused to provide Google with details of its book digitising programme that Google believes could help it to defend itself in a lawsuit. Amazon.com has already turned down a similar request.
The search giant is being sued by publishers and the Authors' Guild over the digitisation of thousands of books which they say was conducted without authors' and publishers' consent. Google is pursuing a plan to digitise the contents of four US university libraries, the Oxford University library, and the New York Public Library.
It had issued subpoenas to Yahoo! and Amazon.com seeking details of the book digitising programmes of those two companies. Google sought commercially sensitive details from its competitors, such as costs, details of discussions with publishers, and sales estimates.
Yahoo! has now joined Amazon.com in rejecting Google's request for information.
The request was an attempt to gain access to trade secrets, Yahoo! suggested. "There is simply no need for Google to be peering into the minds and computers of Yahoo! employees," wrote Yahoo!'s lawyer in a list of objections to the request it sent to Google last week.
Authors' representatives and publishers sued Google in a federal court because it proceeded with its programme without their permission. Microsoft and Yahoo! are both involved in book scanning activity but with the co-operation of the book industry in a programme called the Open Content Alliance (OCA).
The OCA has as a specific aim, the principle that all scanned books will always remain in the public domain, and has the backing of major libraries including the UK's National Archives.
Google had said the court would protect any commercially sensitive information sent by competitors to it, but the companies have still rejected the request.

My last day is living in Wichita, I finally had my 1st blogger meetup! I was thrilled when I found Veronica's blog when living in Wichita. Although you have a common bond with food bloggers in other parts of the country, having one in own city is even more awesome!
Veronica and I met up for lunch the Copper Oven. It was so fun! We had a ton to talk about. I'm pretty sure the waitress started to think that we were never going to leave! I just had so many questions about her blog and just getting to know her better in general.
Left: Veronica; Right: Me
Veronica has such a good heart too! You can just tell that she's a genuinely nice person. She was so thoughtful to get me a going away gift too! She gave me a cookbook, sheet cake pan, and her recipe for chocolate sheet cake.
She wrote a sweet note that said: "You can't go to TX without a fabulous TX sheet cake recipe & a pan to make it in! Enjoy them. I wish you much happiness on this new path & adventure."
I made the cake yesterday and it is SO yum!!!
Texas Sheet Cake
Recipe very slightly adapted from Veronica's Cornucopia
For the cake:
1 cup water
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup Hershey's cocoa
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 cup light sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
For the icing:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup Hershey's cocoa
6 tablespoons milk
16 ounce box powered sugar, sifted (Don't forget to sift the powdered sugar or you get lumpy frosting like I did!)
1 teaspoon vanilla
*I omitted pecans from the icing as a family member has a nut allergy.
To make the cake:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. With non-stick cooking spray, spray a 18″ x 12″ jelly roll/sheet cake pan. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the water, butter, oil, and cocoa. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from the heat. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt and baking soda. Beat in the eggs, sour cream and cocoa mixture. Add the vanilla. Mix until very smooth, about 2 minutes.
Pour the batter into your sheet cake pan. Bake for 15 minutes. You'll know it's done when the the center appears firm and the cake has begun to pull away from the sides of the pan.
To make the icing:
In a medium saucepan, add the butter, cocoa, and milk. Stir and bring it to a boil. Remove from the heat.
Stir in the sifted powdered sugar. Beat until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla.
You can pour the warm icing on the warm cake and spread quickly.
Serve warm or cool.
* I serve mine with a scoop of ice cream.
** I also love to eat leftover chocolate cake in a bowl with milk poured on it. Sort of like cake cereal….anyone else do that??

New CLN series LED work lights from PATLITE
Patlite introduces CLN Series LED Work Lights. These IP66G, IP67G and IP69K-rated work lights deliver brilliant 820 lx lighting (CD model), and can do so at 70 percent of the original brightness for up to 60,000 hours even when subjected to dust, water, oil, chemicals and machine coolants. At just 22.2 mm (0.87 in.) wide with a 180 degree angle tilt adjustment and a 120 degree rotating adjustment (PT model), the CLN series is also one of industry's thinnest LED work lights with flexibility to be mounted virtually anywhere. The result is improved productivity and reduced maintenance time and costs. "Traditional and even other LED lighting options simply don't provide illumination, robustness or flexibility to withstand industrial process machinery environments," says Paul Mizuki, Marketing Manager. "Our new CLN LED work lights are a true breakthrough lighting option that literally brighten up even the most space restricted and harsh work areas, including those found in the machine tool, food and beverage processing, assembly line and pharmaceutical applications." CLN series LED work lights provide warm white light with natural light distribution to illuminate a wider work area, or virtual midday sunlight color for detailed and fine work, and illuminate a wider work area than many similar models. They attach virtually anywhere with a stainless steel angle bracket, including the floor, wall and ceiling, and provide rotation angles that maximize operational flexibility. An Explosion Safe version for Zone 2, Zone 22 (Ex nA IIC T4 Gc, Ex tc IIIC T135°C Dc IP65) is available.

Why you should add Finland to your Indie/RTW tripFinland is now considered part of Scandinavia, but that hasn't always been the case, and the country has more in common with Russia than it does with its other neighbors in many ways. Now known as a high-tech powerhouse, Finland has all the modern conveniences but plenty of old world charm mixed in. During the short summers the city dwellers tend to flock to lakeside cabins for the simple life, but there is no shortage of stimulation to keep the traveler busy.
- Helsinki is obviously the first place you think about when discussing Finland, and fortunately its capital and largest city is also a great destination.
- It's a big city, but the center is compact and free from skyscrapers, so it feels very traditional even with all the high tech infrastructure surrounding you. During summer the sidewalks fill up with diners and people-watchers and the open-air markets are filled with fresh local food.
- The old town of Rauma is another hot destination for travelers. It's the largest wooden town preserved in Scandinavia, and the center is filled with artisans and craftsmen, so the visitor can see what life was like before every citizen had a Nokia mobile phone.
- Check out forested wilderness areas in the northern and eastern parts of the country. Lemmonjoki and Oulanka National Parks are both great places to hike in the summer months.

Taking care of Fido is mostly women's work
I imagine that few people will be surprised to learn that women do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to pet care.
According to the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, researchers in a recent study found that about 75 percent of those who take responsibility for pet care are women.
This is the case until men retire. After age 65, pet care seems to be split half and half.
The study was cited in an article in the Foster, N.H., Daily Democrat by a former dog breeder who said it mirrors his experience. Just look around the waiting room of your local veterinarian, he added.
"Often I would be told that Dad wanted the pup, or that it was for the family children," the author said of his breeding days. "Each time I would respond by telling the feminine part of the family that, good intentions aside, the person primarily and always responsible for pet care, training and trips to the vet would be — the wife.
"Then, as now, this responsibility was apportioned to mom, whether she was a stay-at-home person, or had a heavy-duty career; trial lawyer, doctor, or homemaker, the woman always ended up being the one who cared for the dog."
At my house, we split the duties. Isn't that right, dear? Dear? …
What began as worries about a proposed uranium mine next door will culminate in a celebration for Weld County's Denkai Animal Sanctuary.
The sanctuary will be holding an adoption day and open house on June 27 at its newly purchased facility near Grover. The event is open to the public beginning at noon and ending at 5 p.m.
The sanctuary formerly was located in Carr, where it was two miles north of test wells drilled by a company that wanted to open a uranium mine in the area. Denkai officials were concerned that a uranium mine could pose health risks for animals and workers. Horses, pigs, llamas, goats and other other domesticated animals are housed at the sanctuary.

Arfy's/APEX Shred Event
A benefit for the Larimer Humane Society, will be Saturday, June 13, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. outside Arfy's Mercantile just north of Sunflower Market in the Scotch Pines Shopping Center in Fort Collins. Participants can bring any confidential documents to be destroyed while supporting homeless animals in Northern Colorado. For a suggested donation of $5 per bag or box, APEX Shredding will securely shred any personal files and can provide you with a certificate of destruction.

Adding spices to your diet can curb hunger, strengthen muscles, boost your brainpower and improve mood, new research shows. Plus, you get instant big-time flavor for a few calories and nearly zero fat. Toss spices on your eats to…
Stay slender
A study in the British Journal of Nutrition found that when women added 2 teaspoons of dried red pepper on their food, they consumed fewer calories and fat in later meals. Give your diet a light start; splash hot sauce on your morning omelet.
Become stronger
The curcumin that turns turmeric yellow also helps reduce inflammation and aids muscle repair after heavy exercise, researchers at the University of South Carolina at Columbia say. Enjoy the Indian spice for a few days before a big workout (try stirring it in a cup of lowfat cottage cheese and sliced fruit) to speed recovery.
Keep sharp
Curcumin also sweeps out plaque deposits in your brain, which may help stave off Alzheimer's disease, research from the University of California at Los Angeles suggests. For a savory meal, dust curry spices over rice and beans.
Get happy
Capsaicin (the compound that gives chiles their kick) triggers pain receptors in the mouth, in turn signaling your brain to release feel-good endorphins, according to scientists at the State University of New York at Buffalo. That chemical surge not only helps dull the pepper's bite, but it also betters your mood. Next time you need a quick lift, toss red pepper flakes or some diced chile peppers into your salad or bowl of chilled soup. Now that's cool!

weeks increases the risk for stroke, because people are more likely to have a
stroke in the first few days and weeks after a first stroke or a TIA.
The likelihood of complications
from carotid endarterectomy varies, depending on the skill and experience of
the surgeon. The American Heart Association Stroke Council recommends that
surgery be done by a surgeon who has complications in less than 6% of the
endarterectomy surgeries that he or she performs and that the hospital rate of
complications be just as low.2

Shaun White, Jamie Anderson and Torin Yater-Wallace shine in second day of Breckenridge Dew Tour
Shaun White's anticipated slopestyle debut at Breckenridge's Dew Tour shined bright on Friday, with the snowboarding kingpin locking down a top qualifying spot heading into Sunday's finals.
The halfpipe wizard is aiming to compete in both slopestyle and halfpipe in the Sochi Winter Olympics. That's not an issue in the pipe, where the 27-year-old is untouchable. He easily qualified in the top spot for Saturday's Dew Tour halfpipe finals.
Slopestyle is another story for White, who has been eclipsed in recent contests by powerful Canadians like Sebastien Toutant and Mark McMorris. White dashed any doubts on Friday, with a solid run that featured unwavering double-cork trickery, but not the triple-corks that earned McMorris a Dew Tour title last year.
Breckenridge's Eric Willet qualified second, joining fellow Americans Chas Guldemond, Sage Kotsenburg, Brandon Davis, Eric Beauchemin and Spencer Link among the 16 finalists in Sunday's slopestyle showdown.
Snowboarder Jamie Anderson continued her snowboard slopestyle dominance with a gold on Friday. The 23-year-old South Lake Tahoe rider boosted a huge backside 540 on the final hit of her second run – the last run of the event – to cinch gold, besting Finland's Enni Rukajarvi and Norway's Silje Norendal.
"It's nerve wracking," Anderson said of her final run. "But it's good for the heart and good for the soul."
The halfpipe skiing fellows debuted their soon-to-be-Olympic talents under the lights Friday night, with the most technical tricks of the Dew Tour so far. Of the 26 competitors, eight hailed from Colorado, including 18-year-old Torin Yater-Wallace of Aspen, whose massive first hits and floating 1260s on both runs drew gasps from the crowd at the base of the pipe.
Yater-Wallace grabbed the top qualifying spot, besting Frenchman Kevin Rolland. Crested Butte 17-year-old Aaron Blunck qualified third. Seven Colorado skiers made it into Saturday's finals, including 19-year-old Alex Ferriera of Aspen, 23-year-old Taylor Seaton from Avon, Boulder 19-year-old Lyman Currier, Telluride 22-year-old Gus Kenworthy, (who also qualified for slopestyle finals) and Broby Leeds, 19, of Vail.

The PGA Tour dropped its doping case against Vijay Singh on Tuesday based on new information from the World Anti-Doping Agency, which said using deer antler spray is no longer prohibited because it contains such small amounts of a growth hormone factor.
"The bottom line is that given the change by WADA, we are dropping the case against Mr. Singh," PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said Tuesday.
Finchem said Singh's appeal of the sanctions was almost over when WADA, which had warned about the spray in February, told the tour Friday it no longer considers the use of deer antler spray to be prohibited except for a positive test result.
WADA sent the tour a written statement Tuesday, indicating that the spray is known to contain small amounts of IGF-1.
"Based on this new information, and given WADA's lead role in interpreting the prohibited list, the tour deemed it only fair to no longer treat Mr. Singh's use of deer antler spray as a violation of the tour's anti-doping program," Finchem said, reading from a statement.
The decision ends a three-month saga that had players wondering what would happen to Singh, a 50-year-old Fijian with three major championships who is famous for the endless hours he spends on the practice range.
Singh said in an interview with Sports Illustrated that he paid $9,000 last November for deer antler spray, hologram chips and other products from Sports With Alternatives To Steroids. The spray was said to contain IGF-1, an insulin-like growth hormone that is on the list of banned substances under the tour's anti-doping policy.
The tour said Singh provided a sample of the spray, and tests at a UCLA laboratory confirmed the presence of IGF-1.
Even though Singh never tested positive for the banned substance, the tour's policy says that admitting to use of such a substance is a violation, positive test or not. The tour penalized Singh on Feb. 19 - Tuesday of the Match Play Championship, for which Singh was not eligible - and Singh appealed a week later.
Deer antler spray was also in the news before the Super Bowl, with a report connecting Baltimore Ravens star Ray Lewis to the product.
The tour contacted WADA to confirm technical points when the agency clarified its position. WADA provided a written statement to the tour Tuesday.
"We're talking about a determination that was made by scientists at WADA that relate to the consumption, through deer antler spray, of a technically violative substance, IGF-1," Finchem said. "But in looking at it, the scientists concluded it resulted in infinitesimal amounts actually being taken into the recipient's body, amounts that couldn't be distinguished even if you had an accurate test with the amount that you might take into your body from milk, etc."
He said a player taking enough IGF-1 to register a positive result is not possible "because a positive reading means that you're surpassing a certain level. There hasn't been any level ever set."
"The fact of the matter here is - as some people in the medical community pointed out when this matter came up, and now science at WADA has looked into it and concluded on their own - it's just not worth having it on the list in that context," Finchem said. "I don't know of a substance or a transfer mechanism out there that can loan a person to IGF levels that would get the attention of the WADA science people. Clearly, this isn't one. They've made that clear to us."
Finchem said he informed Singh of the decision Tuesday afternoon at Quail Hollow, where Singh is playing in the Wells Fargo Championship. Singh has dropped out of the top 100 in the world and has not won on the PGA Tour since the Deutsche Bank Championship in 2008, just months after the tour began drug testing.
"I don't think you can move ahead with a prosecution on a player given this set of facts," Finchem said. "That's our conclusion. Vijay wasn't assessed this action because he was negligent. He wasn't assessed it because he made a mistake. He was assessed it because he violated the doping code, and the doping code is predicated on a list of substances. And we're now finding from WADA that that substance doesn't trigger a positive test to admission, so we have to respect that."
Finchem declined to say what kind of suspension Singh had faced.
