A blessed Lent to all!

No, the issue is placing astronomy over already established church practice. That is what is ungodly.
It begins September 1st in the East. And I already knew that, actually. I'm sorry I'm getting a bit cranky about this, but it's about time for the admission that the fixed part of the church calendar has never been uniform. The east and west have diverged on the observance of All Saints Day since, um, pretty much forever. (The current western date was fixed in the 800s.)
But the fact that you can't distinguish between a variance in local customs and the changing the ENTIRE calendar shows that you just love to hear yourself argue or share the intelectual qualities of your avatar.
Have *you* read it?
Good question, Demetri re: a link. If someone finds it in Greek, you can read it/translate?Ebor
It's not just about the calendar btw.
QuoteQuote: (From Nektarios)The first day of the new year in the Church is September 1st - the first day of the secular year is January 1st. Well, no-- the first day of the church year is 1 Advent. And the first day of the calendar year has moved around quite a bit.
Quote: (From Nektarios)The first day of the new year in the Church is September 1st - the first day of the secular year is January 1st.
I said something without polemics or rudeness - that the church year starts at Sept. 1st. then Keble responded with a very arrogant tone and was even incorect. So he thus got my response. If he can dish it out (which he readily does here) he better be able to take it.
The west, as I said before, was worked out the calendar problem within the context of its isolation from the east, an isolation which is now being erased. It took a long time, but we are all on one paschalion and one basic pattern of fixed feasts (modulo "local" observance). The west-- rightly-- is going to opt out of any solution to the greater problem of ecumenical calendar conflict that doesn't involve ecumenical effort. But that effort is, for the nonce, impossible because of Eastern hardheads who demand a unilateral imposition of the Dionysian/Julian paschalion and calendar on everyone. Until they recant-- yes, recant-- the calendar question is always going to be a problem in the East, because the rest of Orthodoxy is going to always be faced with the choice of being held hostage by the hardheads, or causing a paschalion rift across the East.
However, I think that from the authors of the Sigillion point of view the astronomers were denying something very important. They were truly seen as athiests.
"... We ought not, therefore, to have anything in common with the Jews, for the Saviour has shown us another way; our worship follows a more legitimate and more convenient course(the order of the days of the week); and consequently, in unanimously adopting this mode, we desire, dearest brethren, to separate ourselves from the detestable company of the Jews, for it is truly shameful for us to hear them boast that without their direction we could not keep this feast. How can they be in the right, they who, after the death of the Saviour, have no longer been led by reason but by wild violence, as their delusion may urge them? They do not possess the truth in this Easter question; for, in their blindness and repugnance to all improvements, they frequently celebrate two passovers in the same year. We could not imitate those who are openly in error. How, then, could we follow these Jews, who are most certainly blinded by error?
Ebor, I will try to answer your query. In opposing the Church's calendar the papal astronomers were seen as denying something that was part of Sacred Tradition, and therefore were by extension denying something God given.As it says in the third paragraph of the Sigillion<---snipped--->In 2004 we would, perhaps, not use the term 'atheist' in the the way it was used in 1583. Never the less I share unequivically the message given to us by the authors of the Sigillion.
An interesting 'analogy' but that's not what the word "atheist" means or denotes.From Merriam-Webster online:"Main Entry: athe-+ist Pronunciation: 'A-thE-istFunction: noun: one who believes that there is no deity"Link: http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=atheistAnd 'sensitivities' have nothing to do with it. How is it 'sensitive' to want to know how seeing and reporting astronomical observations denies God?" "ALL that is outside the Church is meaningless to a Christian"?!? Would you please explain what is meant by "meaningless"?Ebor

How is the calendar part of "the Truth", "the Faith"?
Liddel and Scott's definition is without God making no reference to a Church.Translating from one language to another, or from an older to a more modern can be tricky, since words change in meaning and connotation.Since God created all things, including the stars and planets in their courses, I think that the rotation of the Earth around the Sun and observable, calculable equinoxes counts as True and not some 'theory du jour'. Ebor
Because it is part of the tradition handed down to us by the Fathers. It can be altered by conciliar authority but not willy-nilly by one or two patriarchates at a time.
How do New Calendar Orthodox respond to this encyclical?

Very well stated, Etienne; and much more succinctly than I could have done. Apparently we have a mini-brouhaha over the sensitivities of some here to the use of the word atheist. As an Orthodox I have no problem with the use of this adjective in the context of the Sigillon of 1583. Simply put, adjusting the Church to fit 'observed' phenomena in the physical world is, by definition, outside (or denying), spiritual Truth.
An analogy might be appropriate- the adjective moral is opposed by amoral, not by immoral. Amoral denotes the lack of morals. So to would Atheist denote a lack of Godliness or something outside of the Church.
Given that ALL that is outside of the Church is meaningless to a Christian, I see no problem with the wording so used.
.And I'm sure that 100 years ago you would fall on your sword to defend Newtonian celestial mechanics as "true", yet that has been superceded by Einstein's Theory of Relativity which itself is still unfinished. I guess when we colonize the moon we will adjust the liturgical calendar there to reflect its monthly equinoxes? The best your temporal observations can be, Ebor, is valid. Demetri
What I fail to see--and I am in no way trying to discourage Keble and Ebor, whom I count as personal friends, from posting on whatever subject they wish--is why they care what calendar Orthodox use? And why do Orthodox need to change their calendar to be involved in intra-church relations? If the Churches unite in one faith, fine, then we can talk calendars. Until then, what's the point?
Well, turn it around: if we can't resolve a pure praxis problem such as the calendar, what hope is there for any other issue?

Webster defines the word Legacy as something received from a predecessor. The current generation of Members inherited from the previous generations of Members a very special place named Hawkeye Bowmen. An irreplaceable treasure of an Archery Club with a long history. I am certain that we all would like to pass on this Strong Legacy to the next Generation of Hawkeye Caretakers.
On June 20th, Forty Members got together to celebrate Hawkeye Bowmen. The Clubhouse, Ranges and Grounds were in excellent shape. Arrows were shot, food, drinks and the Comradery of Archery were enjoyed by all. This picture was captured as a reminder to all involved just how special Hawkeye is to us.
Thank you to all who attended the Legacy Night and may Hawkeye Bowmen continue as a treasure for many future Generations of Archers,
Brian Schlifke
Please note: There were a few camera shy Members who were not in the photo

Wednesday July 5
Blanket Shoot Night Bring a prize for the blanket, shoot the Members course and turn in your card by 7pm, Highest to Lowest score in each class picks a prize off the blanket for their class. Note: Members course open to shoot regardless of whether you choose to participate in the Blanket Shoot (First try for this. Time will tell if there is interest)
Mother Nature gave us beautiful Summertime weather for our Blanket Shoot. We had a good turnout of Twenty Members who shot in the Blanket Shoot along with Three Members who just shot the course. Twenty Three Members had their bows out on a Wednesday Night at Hawkeye!
Each Class was well represented and the prizes were great. Jack Coad shot a perfect score that won him first pick from the Compound blanket, John Wiehe shot a 92 which won him first pick from the Traditional blanket and "Hole in the Bow" Chuck shot a 89 which won him first pick from the Self bow blanket. I would personally like to Thank all who participated. It was a fun night. If there is continued interest, maybe we can do it again next summer.
Take care,
Wednesday July 12
Vintage Bow Night Bring up your older Compounds and Traditional bows. Bernie Tobolski will have some Bear bows from his collection on display and may be able to answer some of your questions regarding older Bear Archery equipment.
Members course open to shoot with your modern bow or vintage bow (We have done this in the past and had a good turnout)
Despite the threat of Heavy Rain, there turned out to be only a couple of light rain showers. Tom Dyll opened up the Tom Quinn Building so there was a dry place to display the bows. Fifteen Members brought up about 35 older bows ranging from longbows from the 1920s and 30s to 1950 and 60s era recurves to 1980s compounds. There were some beautiful bows laid out on tarps and blankets. Bernie had a real nice display of Bear Archery bows from his Collection and John Wiehe brought up a reference book with dates and info on Bear bows. Many of the bows were shot on the range and at some aerial targets. It was fun to see and talk about all of the old gear. A Special Thank You to Bernie!
Take care,
Wednesday July 19
Aerial Night bring up your flu flu arrows to shoot aerials on the practice range. The Members course will be open also
Real nice evening up at Hawkeye! There was a great turnout for shooting aerials. At one point the whole practice line was full. Very cool to see all the arrows flying towards the sky. Dave Bensley was the thrower and by the end I bet his arm hurt! Dave also set up the Club's chronograph and several bows shot through it. The Blue and Yellow course had folks out shooting the 3ds. Quite a few Members later hung out at the picnic tables to enjoy a cold beverage. I would estimate well over 20 Members shooting their bows at some point with another 4 or 5 just hanging out.
Wednesday August 2
If you have a interest in learning how to Brain Tan a hide, mark Wednesday Aug. 2 on your Calendar.
Rob has generously agreed to do a Tanning Demo for Hawkeye Members. Rob does beautiful work and his hides are as good as any out there. He helped me with learning how to do my first hide and if I can tan one, you can also.
Aug. 2 at Hawkeye will also be Grand kids and Kids Night at the Club. How cool will it be to see some Kids out on the courses with their Parents and Grandparents!
Another good evening at Hawkeye!
It was great to see smiling kids out shooting bows with their Parents and Grandparents. Not sure who was having the most fun the kids or the adults. In addition to the kids shooting, there were a dozen or more Members who shot the 3D course. Up on the hill, Rob Marcotte put on a outstanding brain tanning demo for about 10 Adult Members along with some wide eyed kids watching. "Hands on" was encouraged and Rob patiently answered all questions. Thank you very much Rob for taking the time to put it together! Like I said it was a real good evening at Hawkeye.
Take care, Brian
Wednesday August 23
Kevin has created some giant dart boards and is planning some sort of "dart game" using bows. Looks like the weather will be nice tonight (8/23). Stop up at the Club if you are interested in giving it a try.Please note: this will not interfere with anyone who just wants to shoot or hangout.
Take care, Brian
Kevin asked that I send out a update and thank you to all who shot Archery "Darts" tonight. There was a excellent turnout. There was enough shooters that we split into two groups (One group of mostly Compounds that shot at the 20 yard bale, One group of mostly Stickbows that shot at the 10 yard bale). It was excellent practice and all involved had a good time. Kevin left one of the targets he made up on the range for anyone who would like to give it a try. For anyone who has issues with walking the trails in the woods, the range is easily accessible and walking is minimal. With the interest there was tonight, perhaps it could be done again sometime in the future?
Take care, Brian
Side note to Kevin:. The Members who shot tonight would like to Thank Kevin for painting up all the targets and organizing the shoot.

2000 AD is edited by Tharg the Mighty, who could probably give Rebekah Brooks a run for her money as most sinister editor. This extra-terrestrial (apparently from Betelgeuse) has assembled over the years the work of some of the finest comic books talent anywhere. Comic books in America during the 1990s went through a frankly rather poor period. There were huge amounts of confusion arising from muddled continuity, bizarre crossovers and convoluted storylines, and the only upcoming talent that threatened to overthrow the established comic status quo was from the like of Rob Liefeld, who focused on brainless heroes with a penchant for massive guns and even more massive muscles. Comic books were in a bad place, and the shining light of difference was to come from Britain. The work of Alan Moore – creator of the legendary Watchmen series – and Neil Gaiman – author of The Sandman – was to offer a different take on comics, one that didn't rely exclusively on outrageous muscles and over the top action. This isn't to say that they were boring, merely that they offered a nuanced, more intelligent set of characters and settings, something always welcome. And, of course, it was at 2000 AD where they first achieved success. NB

I work as a printmaker and painter producing artwork for interiors. I produce limited edition prints, commissioned paintings, greeting cards and a fabric range; all produced in the UK.
The majority of my work is carefully designed and silkscreen printed by me at my studio based in the old Bird's Custard Factory in Birmingham. My work is mostly inspired by nature and botanicals from walks around the Midlands and sketching in the garden.

I have worked hard to create a distinctive style that runs through all my printed work, giving it a timeless quality and design that works with both modern and classic interiors.

Regular spatial grid mapping found in hippocampus
An area of the hippocampal formation (dMEC, dorsocaudal medial entorhinal cortex) contains neurons which fire when the animal is in a particular location (like hippocampal place cells), but which have a strikingly regular mapping from neurons to locations (that is, the "place field" to which each cell responds is very regular and geometric).
Torkel Hafting, Marianne Fyhn, Sturla Molden, May-Britt Moser and Edvard I. Moser. Microstructure of a spatial map in the entorhinal cortex. Nature, doi: 10.1038/nature03721.
Check out figure 1 from the paper, particularly the two rightmost columns in section (b):
The caption for parts (a) and (b) of this figure is: "a, Sagittal Nissl-stained section indicating the recording location (red dot) in layer II of the dMEC. Red line indicates border to postrhinal cortex. b, Firing fields of three simultaneously recorded cells at the dot in a during 30 min of running in a large circular enclosure. Cell names refer to tetrode (t) and cell (c). Left, trajectory of the rat (black) with superimposed spike locations (red). Middle, colour-coded rate map with the peak rate indicated. Red is maximum, dark blue is zero. Right, spatial autocorrelation for each rate map (see Supplementary Methods). The colour scale is from blue (r = -1) through green (r = 0) to red (r = 1). "
Prosthetic that feels touch and hot and cold
The doctor pulled out the four main nerves that used to connect to the patient's damaged arm and put them beneath the skin in his chest. The prosthetic has a device that presses on the chest to communicate information from the prosthetic.
Geron pursuing ES cells for spinal cord therapy
Looks like spinal cord regeneration might be the first target for embryonic stem cell therapy trials in humans. More info in the Science article.
It looks like Geron has developed a protocol to reliably induce ES cells to become oligodendrocytes, the glial cells that produce the myelin sheath. Here's the details from the article:
For newly injured rats, the results are promising. In animals that received oligodendrocyte precursors 7 days after their injury, the cells survived and apparently helped repair the spinal cord's myelin. Within 2 weeks, treated rats scored significantly better on standardized movement tests than control animals, which had received human fibroblasts or a cell-free injection.
Decussation explanation
Neat story in the WaPo on the evolution of decussation (the crossings — mostly in the brainstem — that cause motor/sensory information to be processed in opposite halves of the brain from where the action is).
The article quotes Denis Jabaudon as extending an explanation originally from Ramon y Cajal: That the sensorimotor system is simply following suite with the visual system, which itself reversed right and left in the brain to compensate for the 180 degree inversion of an image on the retina (due to the lens of the eye).
Monkeys can understand and use currency
This article, by the famous economist authors of the well-received book Freakonomics, talks about Keith Chen which seems to show that monkeys behave a lot like people if trained to use currency:
Nasally administered oxytocin causes trusting behavior
Subjects played a game in which "investors" could give money to "trustees". They could make more money this way, but only if the trustee honored the investor's trust by sharing the profits equally.
29 investors were given a nasal spray of oxytocin, and 29 weren't. 13 (45%) of the oxytocin investors invested highly, but only 6 (21%) of the control group did.
"The researchers, led by Dr Ernest Fehr, say this suggests the chemical promotes social interaction, rather than simply encouraging people to take risks." — BBC
The oxytocin had no effect if the trustee was a computer, instead of a person. Oxytocin had no effect on trustees.

Players: 2-5
Suggested age: 7+
Price: £20 approx.
Mike: So everyone knows how the story of The Hare and the Tortoise goes right?
Well this is the Rocky II rematch.
The Hare is a little bit miffed that he got beat and demands a rematch. The Tortoise accepts and its game on. Oh and a wolf, sheep and fox turn up for a fun run as well.
This is the third game in the Tales & Games Series by iello games. I absolutely love the game box it looks like a story book.
This is the third game in the Tales & Games Series by iello games. I absolutely love the game box it looks like a story book.
David: I remember this in one of my story books when I was younger. I like it when board games are made from good stories. My favourite character is the Hare as I'm fast at running but I don't stop in the middle of the race like him. The box is great I want the other games now so it looks good as a set.
Mike: The game is part betting part card game and the suggested age is 7+. It does require a little bit of hand management and the moving mechanic is a little tricky to explain as well, just look at this card.
|Not the easiest card for youngsters.
In basic this is telling you there are 18 Hare cards 17 Tortoise 16 Wolf… and so on.
The movement is as follows.
The Hare will always move 2 spaces no matter how many cards are played and won't move any spaces if 4 have been played and he is first.
The Tortoise will move 1 space if 0-3 cards are played and 2 spaces if 4 cards are played.
The Wolf will move 1 space if 1-2 cards are played and 2 or 3 spaces if 3 or 4 cards are played. There are some howling cards as well and if one of them are played none of the other characters move as they are scared by his howl.
The fox moves 1 space for each card played.
Lastly the Sheep moves 1 space for each card played and one additional space. This sounds good but if he enters a space with a stream he must stop to take a drink.
David: I didn't find this confusing although in our first game we did forget to move the tortoise each round and was wondering why he was always at the back.
Mike: Ha yes we just thought it was because he was slow. So as you can see some younger players might need a little help. But get a few turns going and all should become clear. In fairness there is a lighter version of the game mentioned at the back of the rules. Oh and let the younger players set up the race track as it makes for a bit of fun setting up the game. This does make each race a little bit different.
David: Yes making the track is fun as you can twist and turn it around the table. The game can change quickly as well as like Camel up someone in last place can end up first in a few turns. You need to think about the betting as well as you get given your first bet randomly but you can pick your second bet. If you like you could pick the same character and try and double your points at the end.
Mike: Yes we have seen this last to first place happen a few times. Also a good point about the betting you can go all in or spread your bets a bit. There is some room for light tactics as well. You can play cards for a character you don't want to move when someone has played a howling wolf for example. You also may need to play cards you don't want to in order to recycle your hand.
This is a very light hearted game that will be loved by young and old. Beautifully presented and with a great theme.
A big thumbs up from Board Know More.
P.S We first heard about this game on Tabletop check it out below.

Resurrected with Christ
by Kim H
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD. Isaiah 55:8
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD. Isaiah 55:8
The more I look at Peter, the more I see myself. Full of passion and full steam ahead… But! Not always asking God before I act or react.
As Jesus is walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. And He said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
1) Easy!! I'm so there, follower of Christ, DONE!
Simon was called Peter by Jesus meaning "Petra" that means "rock". Jesus knew something about Peter, what his exact purpose was. He names him "Rock". Peter had witnessed many miracles by Jesus. He was taught and mentored by THE Son of God. And yet he goes from telling Jesus he "is The Christ, the son of the living God" to saying to Jesus after he predicts his own death, "Lord, Lord! "This shall never happen to you!" To which Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."
2) I tell God what his plan should be and getting rebuked
Peter, Christ's own disciple, denies Jesus three times in fear. In complete fear for his life, he tries to flee the scene of the cross. After Jesus is arrested, twice he is asked, "You are not one of his disciples, are you?" Peter replies, "I am not." Another asked him, "Didn't I see you with him in the Olive grove?" Again Peter denies it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow just as Jesus said would happen in Matthew 26:34.
3) I totally relate to failing by trying to follow Christ in my own strength.
The Good News!!
Having an encounter with the resurrected Christ changes you. It changed Peter from a coward into the "Rock" Jesus knew he could be. Then, Peter went out boldly preaching the gospel to the masses where he told them, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12
Ten out of the twelve original apostles, as well as Apostle Paul, died as martyrs (refusing to deny Christ) for their faith. The disciples died absolutely certain for the cause of the resurrected Christ they witnessed. It was Peter who was said to be crucified upside down at his own request seeing himself unworthy to be crucified the same way as Jesus Christ.
Challenge: Let us pray. Lord, may we seek and find the full power and knowledge of the Holy One and find our true identity in Him. In Jesus name, Amen

Pastor questions potential burden of streetcar tax on poor
People in parts of Kansas City set to vote on expanded line next month
The pastor of a prominent Catholic church in Kansas City said the plans for a streetcar expansion could be burden for his congregation and his church.
Kansas City wants to pay part of the bill for extending the streetcar line by widening the streetcar tax district.
Most property owners within a third of a mile of the streetcar line pay a property tax surcharge, which would include the Redemptorist parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
"I just think it's going to be huge burden upon the back of these people," said the Rev. Brian Johnson. "A very regressive thing."
Johnson put an article in Sunday's church bulletin about the assessment, wondering if it could be further burden on his low-income parishioners.
Streetcar campaign spokesman Steve Glorioso said it's no different than other needed city repairs.
"If the city decided the curbs and sidewalks next to Redemptorist were in terrible shape, they have the authority to make the church do all the work up front, or the city does it and applies a special assessment over 15-20 years," he said.
Johnson said the church isn't taking an official position on the streetcar vote, but the note in the bulletin encouraged parishioners to pray about their vote.
Johnson said he doesn't think many of his parishioners know about the Aug. 5 vote on the streetcar expansion. He said some of them told him last Sunday that it was the first they had heard about it.

Street Fighter and Tekken, together across two games. Sounds like a dream (or a nightmare!), but it's real. So real, in fact, we've got ten more screens from the game to share.
Capcom's version of the game looks as you'd expect; like a Tekken-themed expansion pack for Street Fighter IV. If that's something you feel you'd be into, get ready for a long wait, as this game won't be out until at least 2012.

Last night I attended Northern Ireland's Holocaust Memorial Day Event at the Braid Centre in Ballymena, County Antrim.
Bruce Robinson, Head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service and Secretary to the NI Executive was in attendance along with Maurice Mills, Mayor of Ballymena and others, including, for example, Sir Reg Empey, Minister for Employment and Learning, Alliance Party Leader David Ford MLA, Alliance Party MLA Trevor Lunn, Sinn Féin MLA Daithí McKay plus SDLP MLA and Ballymena Deputy Mayor Declan O'Loan MLA.
The stories provided were moving and the opportunity for reflection was worthwhile and emotive.
I did however leave with a feeling that the Northern Ireland Executive is failing the people and that lesbian, gay and bisexual people remain second class citizens, still sidelined in Northern Ireland when we are meant to be welcoming everyone previously affected by the Holocaust.
No Minister from OFMDFM bothered to turn up, not even a Junior Minister. It fell instead to a Civil Servant to appear. On a day when the issues of division and intolerance were again highlighted in the NI Assembly neither Peter Robinson nor Martin McGuinness nor Gerry Kelly nor Jeffrey Donaldson bothered to travel to Ballymena.
For those who are not aware, the Holocaust affected many people including Jews, people from Poland, Asia, Eastern Europe, Soviet Union and Africa, members of the travelling community, people with disabilities, lesbian, gay and bisexual people, transsexual people, political opponents and religious dissidents such as communists, trade unionists plus Jehovah's Witnesses.
I was therefore incredulous when Maurice Mills opened the event considering the fact that he had previously remarked;
"The recent Hurricane Katrina descended on New Orleans and took many people suddenly into eternity. However, the media failed to report that the hurricane occurred just two days prior to the annual homosexual event called the Southern Decadence Festival which the previous year had attracted an estimated 125,000 people. Surely this is a warning to nations where such wickedness is increasingly promoted and practised."
As if this wasn't enough, I was then astounded to hear Bruce Robinson substituting sexual orientation with the word lifestyle when listing the people affected by the Holocaust.
For those who are unaware, lesbian, gay and bisexual people don't choose their sexuality like choosing what clothes to wear. Any implication that sexuality is a lifestyle choice is extremely offensive since it implies that it is something that can be changed, giving credibility to blatantly homophobic opinions adopted by people such as Iris Robinson.
After visiting tonight's event it is increasingly obvious to me that some people involved in the government and politics of Northern Ireland often preach tolerance and acceptance only to then add a BUT when it comes to some minorities such as lesbian, gay and bisexual people.
Since the return of devolution I am now increasingly of the opinion that we need a fresh approach from the Community and Voluntary Sector to deliver a new Northern Ireland which accepts everyone.
I am currently pondering the exact nature of this new approach and whether it should be of a gradual or more radical nature.
I have however already formed an opinion in relation to two matters, namely that people like Maurice Mills shouldn't be welcomed to preside over such ceremonies without withdrawing their prejudicial comments nor should the Head of Civil Service be allowed to go unchallenged after stating that being lesbian, gay or bisexual is a lifestyle choice.

Holocaust Memorial Day – time for a change?
1 comment:
- Unknown said...
Thanks for highlighting your observations. There is obviously a long way to go for equality.
Relatedly, I am one who gets irked about forgetting all those, beyond the Jewish community, who were murdered by the Nazis.
When I was in Berlin recently, I was grateful to see a memorial of metal slabs in front of the Reichstag, in commemoration for all those parliamentarians who were subsequently executed for daring to not vote in favour of Hitler's emergency order.
I sometimes think the horrors of Nazism are too essentialised by the Holocaust.

I have compiled a few commonly asked questions new users ask before getting into superdrol . Please note that this thread is by no means makes you completely knowledgeable. I am not a guru on superdrol and have no hands on experience with this ph so please do not take this as the beacon of knowledge.
I am 18, I have had 4 years plus lifting experience, I feel I've reached a plateau and want to use superdrol:
I've heard this question over and over and would to prevent all those below 21 who want to use superdrol, or any other ph under the age of 21. This is basically inhibiting your body's natural production of testosterone. Between the ages of 18 thorough 21, males experience the highest test production. If you feel you want to supplement, I would strongly suggest you look for Test boosters, like tribulus and 6oxo. Please note that this has nothing to do with your lack of so called maturity or the feeling that youngsters are careless. This is scientific and numerous studies have been performed in this regard.
I have just got my superdrol , how do I use it?
The safest way to use superdrol is to keep the dosage low. Start with a low dose and work your way up if you can handle the sides. All over the boards you can find people using superdrol up to high doses of 40mg. I would suggest the following cycle.
Week 1 – 10mg
Week 2 – 20mg
Week 3 - 20mg
I would personally never recommend over 20mg. 3 week cycles are proven to be safe and effective.
What times of the day do I take superdrol?
SD has a low half life, around 6-10 hours therefore make sure you plan your intake every 6-8 hours.
Different people have different opinions to this question. From what I've seen, the over all consensus is to take the first dose in the morning with an empty stomach with loads of water.
The next with your preworkout meal with good fats like EFA's , Flax and fish oils, peanut butter. Superdrol takes a heavy toll on your lipid profile. A carb and fat rich meal would somehow help a little bit here. This is my opinion, others differ with it. Preworkout superdrol gives awesome pumps during the workout/weight training routine.
Does superdrol require a PCT?
Like every ph on the block SD needs a PCT.
Give me a sample superdrol PCT.
wk1: 40mg Nolva, 600 6oxo, 3 fenugreek caps, DHEA 200mg
wk2: 40mg Nolva, 600 6oxo, 4 fenugreek caps, DHEA 200mg
wk4: 20mg Nolva, 300 6oxo, 5 fenugreek caps, DHEA 100mg
wk3: 10mg Nolva, 300 6oxo, 6 fenugreek caps, DHEA 100mg
Is 6oxo and Rebound XT good enough by itself for a superdrol PCT, most people say it is enough
No! By no means is 6oxo or Rebound standalone strong enough to restart the test production in your body. You need a SERM! Period!
Nolvadex is therefore ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for an superdrolcycle. Please note its Nolvadex not novedex or nolvedex. Please look for Tamoxifen Citrate.
You can also use Clomid, some users feel this is good as clomid does a lot of good to your lipid profile.
Sample Clomid PCT
Day 1- 300mg
Week 1- 100mg
Week 2- 75mg
Week 3- 50mg
Clomid has worked excellently for me therefore I stop it in 3 weeks. It takes care of any testicular atrophy that may arise on cycle. Please do not use clomid for prolonged periods of time, it is detrimental.
You can look into combo cycles with both Nolva and Clomid in my PCT thread.
If budget permits you can also look into NAC.
Does running milk thistle along side superdrol inhibit gains.
No, silymarin does not inhibit any gains and does not have any chemical significance. It is purely for the liver. Its effect however is best in the preload and pct.
What are other good supplements I can run along side superdrol to combat side effects?
Red Yeast Rice- A fermented rice product, that is our best fighter against negative sides form AAS concerning cardiovascular damage. Comprised of nine different monacolins, which are naturally occurring substances that help regulate cholesterol levels. Along with sterols, and monounsaturated fatty acids, it packs a strong punch.
Dosage : 1.2g ED
COQ10- Although this is abundant in food sources, I feel it prudent to put on here. Not only does it show to help cardiac function, but it's also imperative to be used with Red Yeast Rice. Can be used in combination with other cholesterol lowering supplements.
Celery Seed- A powerful anti-oxidant, shown to not only lower blood pressure, but may have cancer fighting properties as well. And there is evidence to show its ability in aiding the liver.
Hawthorne Berry: Also very useful to lower BP and keep it on check. A great on cycle supplement.
Dosage 1000mg ed on cycle.
Policosanol- A blend of fatty alcohol's, shows great promise in its use as beneficial to cardiovascular health, to include the maintenance of healthy lipid profiles. There is also some theory to a synergistic affect with EFA's.
Dosage : 20mg 2x a day
Saw Palmetto: The prostrate is one delicate part of your system that you do not want to affect under any circumstances.
SP @ 320mg/day
Primaforce ProLiver or Liv52.
These supplements are very necessary ON cycle as well as in the PCT.
I took superdrol, its 2 weeks up, I still don't see any change. Why?
Well, its not superdrol's fault, there is some mistake on your part.
SD will not work if your lipid profile is all haywire.
Most people underestimate the simple dictum of eating heavy and eating right. Please make sure that your calorics are adjusted to your body weight and height. I do not need to comment on your nutrition, but make sure that you take in 1.7-2g of Protein /lb of body weight.Roughly around week 2.5 through 4 you should start gains of 1lb/day.
Make sure your carbs and EFA's are at a maximum
You need to drink @ least 1.5 gallons of water while on superdrol.
My cycle is over, I have to keep my gains, how do I do it.
If you want to keep your gains, make sure you take nolvadex. You will lose a little bloat/size due to water retention. Its good to take creatine and nitrous based compounds or cell volumisers at this point to keep your gains. I have not used CEE, but am looking to do so in the near future.
I had a very satisfying cycle, my pct made me recover fine, I want to get back into another cycle.
Well,this is something I've seen in many people, the temptation to use m1t and superdrol. Sure it does give good results, but you've gotta understand that you have a life apart from bbing. Imho make sure you give a full two month gap between cycles. After all you've got just one liver to use for a lifetime.
I do not know where to get the necessary supplements/ chems for my PCT.
Please do not ask on the forums for sources. I will try to help you through secure mail or pm's. READ! Most experienced users in their logs mention the brands of nolva they use, if some just had the sense to google them……………
What are the important things I should know about Research Chemicals?
15.2 grams of Tamoxifen Citrate equal 10mg of Tamoxifen (nolvadex)
If a research Liquid manufactuer were unaware of this, and they suspend 10mg of Tamoxifen Citrate in 1 ml of solution and claimed a dosage of 10mg of Tamoxifen/ml then it would be underdosed to the tabs.
Of course if they claimed 10mg of Tamoxifen and added 15.2 grams of Tamoxifen citrate then they would be giving the correct dose of then 10mg of Tamox/ml relative to the tabs.
If they say 10mg of Tamoxifen citrate there not lying about the dose, it's jus not as much as the 10mg tabs of nolvadex.
NOLVADEX_ (tamoxifen citrate) Tablets, a nonsteroidal antiestrogen, are for oral administration. NOLVADEX Tablets are available as:
10 mg Tablets. Each tablet contains 15.2 mg of tamoxifen citrate which is equivalent to 10 mg of tamoxifen.
20 mg Tablets. Each tablet contains 30.4 mg of tamoxifen citrate which is equivalent to 20 mg of tamoxifen.
So whatz the math?
0.5ml= 7mg tamoxifen
I am not a doctor and neither do my opinions construe medical advice. These are just my views after using and researching about this product and answering a number of queries from users who were as confused as me when I first started it.
The superdrol checklist :
Superdrol 10/20/20

I like this post, but do you think the PCT info needs to be updated? I've heard many say they disagree with the use of DHEA during PCT, so maybe we can add some alternative PCT regimens into this thread.
yeah, I'll update. I just didn't want to do it to Krnza's post...

Samson Pavilion
Dr. Heinz E. Samson and his wife Editha, have made a major donation to Herzog Hospital to construct a new medical Pavilion. The Editha and Dr. Heinz E. Samson Medical Pavilion will add approximately another 240 urgently needed beds to Herzog Hospital to help meet the growing health care needs in the Jerusalem area in the 21st century, especially for the elderly.
The Samson Pavilion will comprise basement levels and patient floors. The floors will house a number of departments, including an expanded Department of Psychogeriatrics (catering mainly to patients with dementias such as Alzheimer's disease), an expanded respiratory care unit for children and additions to the adult respiratory unit, which the largest in Israel. Other departments will include Internal Medicine/Acute Geriatric Medicine, Complex Nursing Care, Dialysis and other departments as need dictates.
An underground Emergency Hospital, to house and treat the patients in their beds during an attack, will be constructed in one of the basement levels. It will be built as part of an underground parking lot and will be equipped accordingly using the latest protective equipment. This is a direct result of the Second Lebanon War and recent Gaza conflict, as building requirements for hospitals have been revised to include expanded shelters for the protection of patients from rocket fire. This additional reinforcement adds considerably to the construction costs. In addition, an expanded Radiology Suite and a Synagogue will be built into the side of the mountain on one of the hospitalization floors and will also double as a shelter in case of attack.
There are numerous dedication opportunities available. Please contact the Development department of the hospital to identify ways in which you can help.

Team Timeless // Storytime Pillow
Welcome to Team Timeless, an ongoing series of fun tutorials brought to you by some of our favorite designers! This month, Osie Lebowitz is sharing a charming storytime pillow that is as fun as it is functional. The front pocket is perfect for keeping go-to books for naps and bedtime. Use the accent strap as a handle, or to bookmark a page as you slip the book into the pocket.
Featuring Friendship Blossoms by Bunnies by the Bay, these pillows make a perfect addition to any nursery or children's bedroom. And if you need a baby shower gift that whips up fast, look no further!Continue on for instructions…
Storytime Pillow, size 15" square
Instructions for blue bear version shown in parentheses ( )
Supplies: Bunny Pillow (Bear Pillow)
Fat Quarter – Bunnies-C7248 Green (Mix-C7200 Pool) – top
Fat Quarter – Bunnies-C7249 Multi (Bunnies-C7246 Blue) – pocket
Fat Quarter – Mix-C7200 Peony (Mix-C7200 Butter) – pocket accent/lining
Fat Quarter – Bunnies-C7244 Multi (Bunnies-C7247 Multi) – back
½ yard – Soho White – lining
2 – 18" x 18" cotton batting
1 – 16" x 16" pillow form
My favorite tip for making a pillow longer lasting and more comfortable is to quilt the front and back of the pillow.
Cut two Soho White, one top and one back fabrics to 18" square. For pillow top, layer an 18" square of Soho White, batting and C7248 Green (C7200 Pool) and baste for quilting. I quilted cross-hatch lines 4 inches apart on my domestic machine using my walking foot. Repeat for Soho White, batting and C7244 Multi (C7247 Multi) for the pillow back.
Trim the quilted pillow top to a 16" square. Repeat for quilted pillow back. Yes, I do trim it to the same size as the pillow form, as I like my pillow to be a little smaller than the form to give the pillow more fullness.
To make the pocket, cut one C7249 Multi (C7246 Blue) to 9" x 16". Note: refer to photo to fussing cut C7249 Multi. Cut one C7200 Peony (C7200 Butter) pocket accent/lining to 11 ½" x 16". Place right sides together (RST) while aligning the top 16" edge of these two fabrics. Sew the top 16" edge using a ¼" seam allowance.
Turn right sides out and align the bottom 16" edge and press the top edge. The lining will create your accent strip. Top stitch a ¼" on the folded edge of the accent strip and ¼" from the joining seam on the accent strip. Optional: the accent strip would be a good place to personalize the pillow with a child name or a special message.
To make the diagonal accent strip cut one 2 ½" x 9" from C7200 Peony (C7200 Butter). Refer to above photo, fold the 9" edges to the center and press. Fold long edges again and press. Top stitch 1/8" from each long edge and down the center of the diagonal accent stripe. This strip can be used as a handle to carry the pillow or as a bookmark by simply placing your marked page under the strip.
Align the bottom and side edges of the pocket with the bottom and sides of the quilted pillow top and pin in place. Place diagonal accent strip diagonally on the right top corner, approximately 5" from the right corner. Pin in place.
Place quilted top and back of pillow RST and pin in place. Starting on the bottom of the pillow, stitch a ½" seam allowance around the pillow while leaving an opening in the bottom to insert the pillow form. TIP: Use your walking foot when sewing many layers together.
Trim corner seam allowances diagonally to reduce bulk. Turn pillow right sides out. Insert pillow form and hand sew the bottom edge of the pillow closed with a secure stitch.
Add your favorite books and enjoy many hours of reading.

Walk In Your Customers' Shoes To Create A Great User Experience
To ensure great user experience, build your website, product or service from the perspective of your customers. Anticipate all their needs from the start to the end of their interaction with your business and you will be able to reap results.
Think like your customer to build a great user experience
What constitutes a great user experience?
In the design field, user experience is often thought of as defining and managing an individual's experience of a product, service or a website. This means that designers create products, websites or services based on how they believe their customers would use it. A perspective like this is simply flawed because it takes customers out of the picture, who are the ones that actually decide whether a product is great or not. The value of a product, service or website is often dependent on the customers' perception because they are the ones who choose whether one brand is worth purchasing over another. Simply put, creating a great user experience is putting your customer in the centre of the design process.
The Ritz-Carlton hotel chain is one company that makes the experience of its customers a priority; no wonder why it is one of the top luxury hotels worldwide. In one example, a family was vacationing at the Ritz hotel in Bali when they faced a problem: the specialised eggs and milk they brought for their son with food allergies had gone bad. Staff at the Ritz-Carlton tried to find in vain these products in town but found none. The executive chef of the hotel remembered that a store in Singapore sells them; so he called his mother-in-law and asked her to purchase them. He then flew her to Bali to deliver the products to the family. Such effort of the hotel helped ensure that the family had a wonderful time at the Ritz-Carlton and enjoyed their vacation. It also shows the great lengths the hotel would go to provide its guests a hassle-free stay.
With the availability of the Internet and social media, feel-good stories like this can get around fast, and so does customer complaints. A negative comment or a feedback can quickly put your business in a bad light, and discourage other people from purchasing your product or your services. If you don't rectify the issue immediately, the public can easily think that you do not care about your customers, which can hurt your business. Since many enterprises would like to avoid this, some of them are replacing the term "user experience" with "customer experience" to cultivate a customer-centric mindset in their day-to-day operations.
In fact, businesses need to enhance their focus on customers nowadays as technological developments intensify competition. For instance, ride-sharing app Uber has gotten the cab industry up in arms as it provides people an easier way to get a ride by booking in advance, increasingly taking customers away from traditional cabbies. Payment is done via credit card, eliminating the need to tip. If cabbies or other businesses want staying power, they need to enhance customers' experience to secure their loyalty.
Simply put, businesses need to give more importance to providing a great "customer experience" if they want to remain competitive. Make sure that all points of interaction that a customer has with your website, product or service address their needs. You wouldn't want to end up seeing a customer complaint go viral because a certain issue wasn't addressed properly. United Airlines lost US$ 180 million in 2009 after a customer made a music video on how baggage handlers broke his custom-made guitar, and when the airline was not responding to his calls about the issue. For any business owner, a massive loss such as this should be avoided at all costs.
Great user experience can guide your business toward growth
Providing a great user experience to your customers will yield returns for your business. Some of these are:
- Greater customer satisfaction, which enhances customer retention – As mentioned earlier, your customer gets to decide the value for your product or service, not you. A great user experience can win the loyalty of your customer, and ensure repeat business for your company.
- Increased productivity – A seamless transaction on your website, or a product that allows your customers to easily accomplish tasks can increase sales or complement your marketing efforts when you receive great feedback. Always consider the feedback of your customers because these can show you room for improvement and help you achieve efficiency in your business.
- Better lead generation – Customers that are satisfied with their experience on your website, product or services can help promote your business through word-of-mouth. They can tell others how your business provided convenience or efficiency for them, and point them to you. As a result, your customer base expands, which generates additional sales.
- Differentiates you from competitors – A great user experience will help you win the loyalty of your customers and set your business apart. As a result, your customers will always prefer your brand over others and even encourage their family, friends and other acquaintances to try your products or services. This can increase your market share against your competitors because your customers are seen as credible source of information.
- Less costs on staff training, support – When your website is easy to navigate, or when the service you offer is very simple, your employees will easily learn their role in the company and need fewer hours for training. This allows you to save time and expenses related to training. When customers quickly grasp how to use your product or your service, you can also avoid the expense of providing support for basic issues, and instead allocate resources for complex problems.
Simply put, providing a great user experience is a win-win for your company. It allows you to gain more customers, while helping you save on costs to achieve efficiency. Whenever you are planning to release a new product, service or a feature, try to get into the mind of your customers first to address their needs in order to provide them an experience they will never forget.

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jason Jones of CresaPartners, who hosts a podcast called "Battlefield to Business" for Business-to-Business Magazine. If you don't know Jason, he's a great guy, and a former naval aviator who served on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Enterprise.
"With a small unit, like a startup, there's no margin for error. If someone lets the team down, you're all going to pay the price."
Thanks to Jason for the opportunity to hang out and share my perspectives on a subject that is near and dear to my heart.
It was great fun, and hopefully some folks will find some value in my ramblings. I will admit, having now done nearly 40 podcasts for StartupLounge.com, it felt very different being on the other side of the microphone – good fun, though …
You can listen to the podcast here on their site, or locally using the embedded flash player below.
Fantastic comments Scott! You've spoken some real truth in this podcast. It should be required listening for folks wanting to get involved with a startup, as most people have no idea what kind of commitment it takes, and you can't instill these kinds of work ethics in people – they either have a mission critical mindset, or they don't. Again, great stuff Scott. Hopefully you'll be asked to present this topic at many events over the coming years.
Best, Duncan Freeman (former Navy LT)

Sue's great, grandfather was George Michael Shoemaker, from Adams Co, Ohio. We have worked on this line for many years and have made some significant progress, in spite of having only a little information that we could collect from family members. The family came from Louden Co, Virginia around 1800. It appears that the first of the line in the US was Simon Shoemaker, born in 1736 in Cleeborg, Alsace, Germany.
We have recently located a book on the Shoemaker name and hope to add much more information about the line in the coming months.
We have also discovered some information on the Cokonaugher line. Sue's great, great grandmother was Ruhama Cokonaugher, who married Michael Shoemaker in 1848, in Adams Co, Ohio. It looks there were many Cokonaughers living in Ross Co, Ohio. They also came from Virginia but at this time, we don't know specifically where. The oldest Cokonaugher we currently have is Christoper Cokonaugher, born in 1757. Records show he was born in York, Pennsylvania and moved to Virginia.
Sue's paternal lines : Hamilton, Cannon, Cockerill, Shoemaker, Cokonaugher, Newman, and associated surnames.
Sue's maternal lines : Crawford, Day, Kirk, Long, and associated surnames
List of Shoemakers currently in database.
List of Cokonaughers currently in database.
If you have any questions or comments about the information on this site, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
We have tried to be as accurate as possible with all information. However, it is inevitable that there are mistakes. If you see something that seems incorrect, please let us know.

Phnom Penh Driver Recommendation
If you are looking for a driver in Phnom Penh, moto or tuk-tuk, I would like to recommend Sky and his brother Jai-An. They wait on the corner in front of the two Happy Pizza restaurants, just up from the FCC on riverside. You can reach Sky at 097 663 8859. These guys are good drivers--I've used their services many times. They speak English well enough, and they know the city very well-including things not on the tourist map--something that can not be said of a lot of the drivers on the riverside. They are also one of the few drivers NOT soliciting other (illegal) services on that corner. Their younger brother "Mario" has also worked as a location scout and camera man on some small film projects, so could be an additional asset should you need to shoot some film.

The Mail Online understands that Joelon Lescott is closing in on a move to Hull City, though at least two other Premier League sides remain in the race to secure his services.
Lescott had fallen down the pecking order at Manchester City in recent seasons, making just ten Premier League appearances during their 2013/14 title winning campaign, and is available on a free transfer having failed to earn a new deal at the Etihad Stadium.
FA Cup runners-up Hull are favourites to sign the 31 year old with a medical on Humberside expected later this week though West Ham United, who were linked with him in January, and Aston Villa have emerged as alternative options.
Clubs in Turkey and the Middles East had also been mentioned as potential destinations for the former England international defender, though he is keen to continue his career in the top flight of English football.

2012 Volkswagen Beetle R Concept
The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle R Concept was painted in'Serious Grey', offers a glimpse of what a production version might look like. Outside, the concept is equipped with alloy wheels 20-inch "Talladega" whose style is like that of the Golf R and Scirocco R. However, 18 and 19 inch wheels are mounted on cars. Easy to find in Beetle wheels which feature 5 triple spokes, are the blue brake calipers in designing 2012 Volkswagen Beetle R Concept.
Designers completely redesigned the front and rear bumpers that were widened by 30 mm. In front, the bumper module practically consists of 3 air intakes, which are styled in contrasting "Black Glossy". The central air intake oxygen supply to the motor, while the two outer contribute to brake cooling. The front spoiler, also painted in "Black Gloss", is designed as a flat splitter (with a chrome strip); splitters of this kind are typically used in motorsport. To regulate engine temperature within an optimal range, even under extreme conditions, ventilation slots are found on the right side of the hood and engine went.
The rear bumper also has air exhaust slots that are integrated in the aerodynamic concept of the Beetle R Concept. There is also a diffuser integrated in the lower part of the bumper. Together with the rear spoiler-which is significantly higher than the Beetle production models with up to 200 horsepower-and its black trailing edge, ideal downforce values? are generated at the rear axle. A visual and acoustic highlight is the exhaust system with its 2 sets of dual chrome exhaust pipes.
On each side, the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle R Concept bumpers transition into the free wings, but they were also widened 15 mm per side. The side sills are styled in "Black Gloss", a high-end chrome strip is incorporated here. Also painted in "Black Gloss" are the roof, the upper part of the bootlid connecting to it, the mirror housings and door handles doors.
The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle R Concept in contrast color "Black Gloss" that was already used on the exterior is used in the interior as well as for dashboard accents and decorative elements around the gear shift grip. Interior designers also styled the instruments to be R-specific. Amended behold the central instrument cluster (tachometer in the middle, in the style of a sports car) and the auxiliary instruments laid above the center console. Plates doorway updated logo R. Meanwhile, brushed aluminum is used for all pedal caps. Matching the seats with their blue piping are the fabric mats with their blue-black double borders of color.

I [finally] convinced a family member to run a marathon with me.
So I may not have "all my sister's with me" [yet] but I've got one. And one. is.
We both ran this race last year [click here] but she ran the half while I did the full.
Not this year. YAY me!
sisterhood run! Here's the race. [click].
So now the next two months, racing schedule looks like this:
* Tucson Marathon 12/12
* RnR AZ 1/16
"Baby E" [she's actually second oldest, I'm actually the "baby" but her name has a story] . . . I cannot wait to run with you. This has been a HUGE dream of mine for the last year.
Thanks for letting me share this experience with you!
Happy. Happy. Emz.

Sia - "Clap Your Hands" (Diplo Remix)
With her new album's June 8th release date closing in, Sia is pulling every string possible to get We Are Born's lead single, "Clap Your Hands" out there. If the very colorful and adorable video didn't appeal to you, maybe this remix by Diplo will.
The remix surrounds itself by typical baile funk beats before stepping into the ghastly realm of dubstep. It's good to see Diplo playing around with different styles, a habit which I hope bleeds into his production work. Current clients include M.I.A., Robyn, Christina Aguilera, and Snoop Dogg.

Noon was marked in high style at the Festival of Speed: the RAF's Red Arrows acrobatic team performed a tight and very loud flyby. Click through for the scream of nine Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Adour turbofans.
The Red Arrows use BAE Hawk T1A jet trainers to display their aerial moves in their incredibly busy schedule. The unit was set up in 1964 and has flown over 4000 shows since.
Forming an excellent and even redder backdrop to their acrobatics was a line of Ferraris you can see in the video. Not a shabby selection, with the rosso corsa on one of the world's 39 250 GTO's, a 1969 312P Le Mans prototype and a 1950 166 MM Barchetta wreaking havoc with MPEG compression algorithms. But the real star of the lineup is the second from right: Scuderia Serenissima's mad Breadvan. It's the racing car with perhaps the most insane, comical, revengeful and inspiring story ever.
This I knew well before Goodwood. What I didn't was that it eclipses pretty much everything in aural ferocity. You'll hear it soon enough.

2017 Scorpo Estate Single Vineyard Pinot Noir
A bright cherry red colour. The nose is pretty and aromatic with cool season red fruits – ripe but lifted, and notes of crushed meadow herbage, graphite and sweet Asian spice. The palate is youthful and sapid, with a savoury lilt to the spicy red fruit attack. Silky, fine but layered tannins draw and redraw to length against a minerally frame and violety red-floral mouth aromas.
