Every course offered in the College of Arts and Sciences seeks to deepen an understanding of what it means to be human. But only religion is defined as "the disclosure of something more"-- to quote William James. Therefore courses in Theology and Religious Studies envision human life as never fully defined or completely explained. Creation is not something that happened in the past. Its mysteries continue to unfold within each person and within the expanding universe.
From this unfinished nature of human history--as a story without an ending--comes religious narratives and sacred texts. They serve to remind us that there is always more to know and more to love. At Seattle University all theology courses are grounded in this understanding as they examine Christian narratives and texts in light of modern questions and contemporary issues. Religious Studies courses extend this exploration beyond Christianity into the sacred texts and rituals of world religions.
The oldest stories in the world are religious. They "contain" and preserve understandings of human experience that invite reflection. Theology courses provide critical tools and methods for exploring how these religious stories disclose that there is meaning and value beyond what human knowledge can confirm or appreciate. They point to "the something more" in the experience of transcendence.

I have a funny - but liberated! - folk band. The rule is, we play every Tuesday ... In or Out. Tonight we went Out. Meaning we basically crashed a neighborhood pub, instrumetns in hand, ready to play music. No hat, no catch, just tunes.
Great crowd ... Everyone dug it. Afterwards, a brother and sister who'd been playing pool came up to us.
"I heard you guys play a couple of old folk tunes. Ya ever listen to Doc Watson."
"He's a real Hero to me."
"Really? We're actually Watson's ourselves."
That's cool. I just got to play for the Watson family. I feel honored in way.

Did you miss our annual Shell LiveWIRE LIVE! event? This year, over 100 young entrepreneurs from around the country gathered to hear from the likes of Vince Cable, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, Luke Johnson (Risk Capital Partners), Laurence Kemball-Cook (Pavegen Systems) and Paul Owen (The Clear Path Company).
After the event came the announcement of the Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2012, awarded to Ben Allen, founder of Oomph Wellness. Check out the video to catch all the event highlights!
On the 9th of November 2011, Newspepper joined us for our Shell LiveWIRE LIVE! event and the 2011 Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, capturing both the buzz around the event and some exclusive interviews with attendees.
The video covers both the daytime event which took place at London's Southbank Centre, as well as the evening event at Shell Centre where Michael Korn (Kwickscreen) took home the title of Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year and £10,000.

Short video of Jessica Grosvenor (Freelance Training & Consultancy) being presented with the Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2010 by James Smith,Chairman Shell UK and Mark Prisk MP, Minister of State for Business & Enterprise at the Shell LiveWIRE LIVE! event in London on 13th October 2010.
[PROFESSOR SARA CARTER]: Thank you Anna and good evening to everybody here. I know it's conventional for judges to say what a hard time that we had, and how difficult their job was, but I'm going to break with tradition tonight. Perhaps it was because I listened to [Sir] Tom Farmer earlier, and he inspired just a sense of honesty and a down-to-earthness about us all I think.
So I'm going to break with tradition and say just how much fun the judges had yesterday. The people who really had the hard job were the eight finalists, who had to endure a whole day of presentations and interviews. The judges didn't just have the fun, we also had the privilege of meeting eight very inspiring young people and learning about their businesses. And for that I think we'd all like to thank Shell for that honour.
Of course we did have one difficult job and that was selecting the one, overall winner. And it was especially hard this year because all eight of the finalists had outstanding business plans and many of them had already achieved significant success. We thought that the quality of the business plans and their personal presentations were absolutely inspiring. As you've already seen tonight, the businesses were very diverse; they covered a range of sectors. There was service sectors, there were retail businesses, there were some people who had built a technology platform... We were all, I think, overjoyed to see that young people are out there inventing products and manufacturing them as well.
Many of these businesses are already global in their reach; they're having markets accessed overseas. Some of them even have their manufacturing outsourced overseas. And perhaps most importantly, many of these businesses were social in their nature as well. These eight young people aren't just about making a profit, they're also about giving back to their local communities and to the global community too. Of course, in the end, we had to make a decision. I think I'm allowed to say that it came down to the final two businesses for which there was the most debate.
But, in the end, it was a completely unanimous decision. And I'm gonna stop there and thank you very much.
[JAMES SMITH]: I think what happens is that I open the envelope and read it out and Mark, you make the award. I don't want to... I don't know what's in here. I don't want to raise the tension too much or cause your pulses to raise too far but, can I take just half a minute and thank Mark for a really super speech.
Mark, it was with the head, it was from the heart, it really was a motivational speech and I think the two great things is you've been in business yourself so you know what that's like and you're in government now and you're talking about cleaning a path so these people can succeed, so a really brilliant speech so thank you very much indeed.
I have to put me glasses on. How many envelopes are there, oh no this is it. And the winner is Jessica Grosvenor for Freelance Training and Consultancy. Well done Jessica.
Newspepper.com's video report and exclusive interviews from the Shell LiveWIRE LIVE! event and Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2010 UK Final which took place in London on 13th October 2010.
As well as the 8 award finalists, the video also features interviews with Jamie Murray Wells (Glasses Direct), Wayne Hemingway (Hemingway Design), Penny Power (Ecademy) and Sir Tom Farmer.
more info[REPORTER]: Good afternoon, I'm delighted to welcome you to [the] Shell LiveWIRE Live! event 2010. Now today during the day over a hundred young entrepreneurs are going to come together and learn all about how to start up a new business. And tonight is the real excitement, it's the announcement of the Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year award 2010. Hundreds of people have tried to apply for this award and [have] been whittled down to only eight finalists by a panel of judges that includes 'Dragon's Den' judge Duncan Bannatyne and our very own Hermione Way. It promises to be an amazing day. Let's go inside.
Tell us a little bit about the business that made it to the final eight.
[MANSOOR MOHAMMAD HAMAYUN]: What we do is develop solutions for rural electrification. Basically, [there's] a solar panel on the top and it outputs normal 220-volt electricity.
[JANNEN VAMADEVA]: Anytime Doctor is an attempt to sort of solve some problems for patients – patients who can't see their GPs easily, patients with mobility problems. What it does is it takes very, sort of, low risk medical conditions and moves them online.
[NICK PROCTOR]: We look to lower businesses' energy costs by lowering the amount of energy they use, and also reduce the amount they pay for it. So it's very much looking at making people more energy efficient.
[CHARMAINE KEMP]: I started Wheelie Good Mobility which specialises in used mobility scooters. We recondition old ones and we get them back out into the community for a fraction of the price of what they would've been new.
[MICHEAL HOLLIDAY]: We're a mobile architectural and environmental design practice so we travel around rural Scotland going to communities who don't usually have architects and we hold workshops, we hold exhibitions, and design houses.
[TOM ALLASON]: In the end of the day we'd like to make Shutl a verb, you know? We'd like people to stop thinking about getting things delivered to them and instead choose to get things 'shutled' to them.
[WILLIAM ALLINGHAM]: Being in the Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year awards has been just absolutely brilliant. I've met some absolutely amazing people and, you know, it's an achievement in itself so hopefully we can go on further and get that ten grand and hopefully, you know, put a bit more money into research and development of the products.
[JENNY MARSDEN]: The reason we run programmes like Shell LiveWIRE and Shell Springboard is we want to support small businesses in the UK. Small businesses are essential to the economy, they employ two-thirds of the people, they're responsible for the mass majority of our GDP, you know, and we want to try and help small businesses in what are very challenging times.
[JAMIE MURRAY WELLS]: I think my first tip for anyone wanting to start a business would be to basically start as small as possible, see how it goes and test the market.
[SIR TOM FARMER]: If you want to succeed in business of course you've got to have the right finance, you've got to have a product or service that customer's are gonna buy. But there's more than that to it. You've gotta have enthusiasm, you've gotta have energy and it's gotta be an obsession – a magnificent obsession; a passion in every way.
[PENNY POWER]: You've gotta really... you need to know yourself first, and find out what your value is to others. And then, on that, look at the business idea you've got and look for the big picture of that business idea. Why would somebody else get behind that idea? So what is the contribution your business is making towards humanity?
[WAYNE HEMINGWAY]: There are lots of people out there with good ideas and they need a leg up to have a go and so Shell LiveWIRE gives people a chance, gives them, number one, the exposure, number two, it can give them a bit of cash that everybody needs when they're starting a business.
[STUART ANDERSON]: We worked quite hard this year at getting the right speakers at the event. So we wanted a whole mix of people from Penny Power who does one thing, Doug Richard does another, and [Sir] Tom Farmer does another, so what was great was they all sent the same message to the entrepreneurs but in a different way so they kind of... the messages are really hammered home.
[ANDREW DIXON]: [This is] the first time I've been involved in it, so I thought it was... it was just very inspirational. I thought, you know, the level of energy, the belief, commitment and just also like the nous as well of all the finalists was exceptional.
[REPORTER]: [You have] just officially won the 2010 Shell LiveWIRE Award, Young Entrepreneur of the Year, how do you feel?
[JESSICA GROSVENOR]: Fantastic. Overwhelmed.
[REPORTER]: Have you texted your mum? Have you told her?
[JESSICA GROSVENOR]: No, I haven't told my mum!
[REPORTER]: Oh my God, you have to tell her! Tell us a little bit about your business that has just won the young entrepreneur of the Year Award.
[JESSICA GROSVENOR]: Freelance Training and Consultancy provide work-based learning for private and public sectors and individuals in a variety of sectors, including apprenticeship programmes, pre-employment programmes and upskilling the workforce.
[REPORTER] Well, unfortunately it's time to go home here from the Shell LiveWIRE Live! event 2010. It's been a truly inspirational day, everyone's really enjoyed themselves, there's been some amazing keynote speeches, and it's made someone who has no idea about business want to go home and start up a business tonight. So, I'd say it's been a success.
A large part of Shell LiveWIRE LIVE!, the daytime event comprised of networking opportunities and workshops, and the evening Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year Final, was geared toward developing young people in a number of business areas. Shell LiveWIRE LIVE! offered participants the opportunity to attend various workshops and to network with other like-minded individuals. Attendees of the workshops and, indeed, of the Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year Final, had the opportunity to not only come away with great contacts, but great advice and tips as well. Our eight finalists were no exception; throughout the morning they practised their elevator pitches, coupling their existing business knowledge, experience and passion, with the guiding hand of Shell LiveWIRE personnel. This video is the result of their hard work. Enjoy!
The road to the Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2009 final was a long and exciting one, culminating in an event that left all of us at Shell LiveWIRE feeling fulfilled and inspired. We'd like to share with you a quick glance at the process leading up to the final, as well as some behind the scenes looks at the preparation for the event itself. Enjoy!
Recorded at the Hawke and Hunter in Edinburgh, our March webcast features an informal Q&A session hosted by Anna Lawn-Thomas (Shell LiveWIRE) and a panel of business experts comprising:
- Fraser Docherty of SuperJam (www.superjam.co.uk)
- Geoff Leask of the Prince's Scottish Youth Business Trust (PSYBT) (www.psybt.org.uk)
- James Simpson of Business Gateway (www.bgateway.com)
- Gilbert Peddie of ICASS (Innovators Counselling & Advisory Service for Scotland) (www.icass.co.uk)
Discussion topics include - what makes a good business plan and what funders are looking for, how to market and promote your business on a limited budget, protecting your Intellectual Property (IP), how to take your product from the ideas stage to being on sale in the shops, and what to do if you are too young to open a business account in your own name.
more infoIn 2008 Shell LiveWIRE ran a series of 'Big Enterprise Experience' workshops in colleges around the UK. This gave students from a variety of courses a chance to see what was involved in running a business. The experience included topics such as idea generation, problem solving, teamworking and thinking about your market.
This video was recorded at an event with West Cheshire College held in Ellesmere Civic Hall, Cheshire on 19th November 2008.
As part of the day, the students also heard from an ex-LiveWIRE winner who gave real life experience hints and tips to help students think about starting a business.

Batteries: something you need for baby toys, so it is best to get them on sale. I only have one question... Why can't we list ourselves as both quality and value oriented?

The product purchase was misleading on the website. My daughter thought she was purchasing Zuh Zuh Pets and instead she received batteries. (They were evidently batteries for Zuh Zuh pets.) I would send them back, but it isn't worth the effort!

St Teilo's Church - the book blog
At last, the first review for Saving St Teilo's has come in.
Reviews make me nervous but in a good, exciting way. I never really dread seeing them but it is a truth universally acknowledged (in publishing at least) that you can't keep all of the people happy all of the time. So, sooner or later we'll get a stinker. But not this time –
"Gerallt Nash's book also conveys a spirit rarely found in museum publications – pride and joy, craftsmanship and passion, a genuine sense of adventure and achievement. It makes the reader not just want to see St Teilo's, but also to wish that they had rolled up their sleeves and lent a hand in its rescue."
To read the rest of the review go to http://www.vidimus.org/booksWebsites.html

St Teilo's Church - the blog
We had a fabulous event at St Fagans yesterday. The weather wasn't quite with us - damp and overcast - but luckily lots of people were, and very many of them bought copies of the book!
I didn't catch the whole service as I was flitting around with boxes of books, but what I saw was very moving, and it felt intimate and totally natural.
Then a whole load more people arrived for the actual launch. People crowded into the Church and the two main speakers, Garry Owen and Eurwyn Wiliam, both did excellent jobs. Eurwyn spoke about the project from its beginnings, and as he's been involved with the project since its beginning 25 years ago it was a great overview. But, as always, humorous too! Then Garry Owen brought a lovely personal note, as he's a local boy who remembers the Church when it was still by the river Loughour at Pontarddulais. He really emphasised just how iconic the Church was - and still is - to the local community.
Finally everyone came over to Oakdale, the Workmen's Instititute, for refreshments and we were flooded with people queuing up to buy the book. It was like when you first arrive at a car boot sale! It was also great for me to finally meet some of the book's contributors, people I've only emailed up til now. I guess everybody was enjoying themselves as by 5.30pm some people didn't seem to want to leave!
The rest of the work for me is now to make sure all the relevant bookshops and retail outlets know about it. And making sure it's on the relevant websites. And sending out review copies... In a way, producing the book is only half the job: now we've got to sell it!
St Teilo's Church - the book
No blogs for a while now - but mostly because we've been working full tilt on the book (also because I've been off for a week...).
So, it's now at the printers, and there's nothing - well, hardly anything - more we can do now. If all is well the books will be in Cardiff this Friday, and we'll all be at St Fagans launching it on Sunday. If the weather is anywhere as good as it has been this last week or so then it'll be a truly lovely afternoon.
As exciting as it is to look forward to seeing the actual book (no matter how many proofs, dummies etc you've seen - the real thing always looks different!) this bit always makes me a bit nervous too. After it arrives, and I spot the inevitable typo that got away, or something I wish we'd changed when we had the chance, or... and after the launch event, I'll be able to reflect on what a pleasure it was to work on and how lovely everybody was to work with. It's a real privilege to have been able to learn so much about the whole project - one of the very best bits of my job is being able to get involved with such a variety of different projects that might otherwise have passed me by. But with this one in particular, I think, the depth of people's knowledge and skills, and their committment, is inspiring.
Anyway, look out for it, available in all good bookshops - soon!

St Teilo's Church - the book
We're getting really stuck in now. We've had a complete set of pages, which is our chance to move or replace any images, or perhaps move pages around. Once we've done that the layout is set in stone and we start proofreading. While we proofread the English, the designer will work on the Welsh pages - that's why it's important that nothing moves around after we've agreed on the layout!
We had some new external shots of the church done, so that we'd have a wider choice to try out for the cover. I think we're pretty close to deciding on the image. And I think the title is decided too:
Saving St Teilo's: bringing a medieval church to life.
I hope it's a strong title, and I like the fact that we get the name 'St Teilo's' right in there at the beginning!
We're also moving ahead with the launch event. It will be in the spring, March or maybe April. It should be a lovely event, it will be lighter then - and warmer!
December 2008
St Teilo's Church - the book
We had a very positive meeting with the book's designer before Christmas at St Fagans. She's come up with some lovely ideas, it makes a big difference when you've seen something and you then have a set of images and visual themes you can relate to. The design manages to convey a sense of the crafts, skills and techniques behind the whole project, which is something I really want the book to convey.
We're still looking for exactly the right image for the cover though. We decided, although it might seem a bit unimaginative, to use a picture of the exterior of the Church. For all the amazing images we've got of the interiors, especially of course the wall paintings, I really believe that the audience for this book will be looking for a book with a picture of the church on it - sounds obvious I suppose! The book covers many things including art, archaeology and architecture, but in the end it's primarily about the story of St Teilo's Church. So that's the message the cover will convey. Plus, the building itself is now so recognisable, its shape is almost iconic.
I think one of the features that draw people to the Church is the contrast between the simple, white, almost humble-looking exterior and the riot of colour and images inside.
As soon as I've got images of the sample spreads I'll publish them here - it would be very interesting to know what people think of them!
St Teilo's Church - the book
I'm working on a book about the fantastic St Teilo's Church at St Fagans. Been really looking forward to this one, it's a lovely story and there's a wealth of fab images - unlike usually, when I have to scrabble around for some decent stuff. I thought we'd be much further on than we are mind, I really expected to be up to my ears in proofs by now. I sort of know why we're further behind than I'd planned, just can't quite explain. Or I could, but it still probably wouldn't make much sense. Plus, designers work in different ways, and this one likes to take a lot of time 'up front' working on the design concept, then when that's agreed we crack on with the proofreading fairly quickly. I suppose I'm more comfortable with spending the bulk of the time at the proofreading stage, especially with a fairly text-heavy book like this one. Still, we always manage to end up with a book on time. I should be designing the marketing plan by now, but I'm still getting the images together and finishing the copy - things like indexes, the glossary, that kind of thing. And I haven't written any of the image captions yet, which I decided would be quite long, narrative style, so that we don't have to cram absolutely everything into the main copy.
Having to work within a financial year is odd too - not at all the way publishing works. I could get really quite anxious about this if I let myself. I just have to concentrate on how good the book's going to look, and having a high-profile launch, with a popular speaker, where everybody buys a copy of the book, which will get great reviews...
In our favour is the fact that the Church is already incredibly popular and has had a lot of good press. The whole re-erection project at St Fagans has built up a swell of good will, and the Church has its own loyal following - a sort of fan-base! All that's keeping me going at the moment, but I know things are going to get pretty intense over the next couple of months.
June 2008
At last
At last, I'm able to concentrate for half an hour or so on writing this blog, something that I haven't been able to do for just over six months. The main reason that I have some time now, is that I have stopped working two days a week in our new gallery, Oriel 1, so I can play catch-up with curatorial work such as transcribing oral history recordings and working with partners towards future exhibitions.
The exhibitions we've been working towards include ones on archery, a medical display, the Urdd, Pop, and the Italians in Wales.
I have also been involved in co-ordinating the St Fagans activities and events that are planned for 2009, when the theme will be 'Music', and towards the exhibiting the next Community Dresser, when Cwm Carn Boxing Club will show people what they've got.
Since the last blog, I have attended several conferences in Stockholm, London, Birmingham, Bolton and Llandrindod, have learnt a lot and shared experiences about contemporary collecting issues. The final draft of the museum's Contemporary Collecting Plan has been submitted to my fellow curators, and will be discussed at a meeting at the end of this month.
I still haven't accessioned any objects yet though, which is slightly frustrating. In part, we are still awaiting the outcome of the above meeting, but I am now confident that I have a clear-ish picture in my mind of what to collect. I suppose that I'll just have to be patient - after all, contemporary material will still be around in a few months time...or will it?
I will try to write this on a more regular basis, but you will know, that if I don't, I'm so busy collecting, that I don't have time to write. See Ya.
October 2007
All the leaves are brown...
I had an interesting comment last time from pbhj, on the 'intriguing' BSL exhibition I mentioned. He asks 'Apart from being minority languages what are the comparison points (between BSL and Welsh)?' Well pbhj, the idea of the exhibition came from the BSL community, and they drew comparisons bewteen the way Welsh has been treated and the way BSL has been treated. For example, Welsh schoolchildren in the 19th century had to wear a Welsh Not and were punished for speaking Welsh. Similarly, BSL speakers were told to sit on their hands so that they couldn't sign. Another comparison was that there is only one BSL school in Wales, so BSL pupils elsewhere have their education through their second language, similar to many Welsh pupils until comparatively recently.
On a lighter note, they wished to draw comparisons between deaf comedians telling jokes about hearing people to Welsh comedians telling jokes about English people, or jokes that only work bilingually. Other aspects came up, and not all to do with the similarities between Welsh and BSL, but that gives a flavour of it.
I don't understand the second part of your comment - are you accusing someone? Firstly, I don't think you can 'over-promote' something, and secondly, Welsh translation is aimed primarily at providing non-Welsh speakers with an understanding of the language. Why is this damaging? And why is it to the detriment of other services? Yes there are BSL/Welsh translators - not many, but they do exist.
Sabrina Rochemont also commented, and asked 'Are there particular areas of interest that you would like our feedback on?' Well, I would like to hear people's opinions on what is 'Contemporary Collecting'. What objects should we target for future preservation, and why. In this world of mass produced things, should we be collecting televisions, computers, mobile phones? If every museum decided to do this, we'd explode at the seams! Another aspect is the community one - asking communities to curate what's important to them, and recording their experiences etc.
Right, to finish, a quick run-through of what I've been up to in the last month - we've had the preliminary meetings to discuss strategies for the 2009 Pop Exhibition; I attended a meeting in Welshpool where we discussed forming a Contemporary Collecting policy for all museums throughout Wales so that we work together; I attended a second Digital Story workshop which we intend to base our community workshops on; I collected the objects from Johnstown for the second community dresser (information about the first is in 'Rhagor' on this website); I visited a couple of museums in Swansea; and I started my MA Museum Studies course.
Whew! By the time I write next month, I will have been to Sweden for their SAMDOK conference, which is the leading contemporary collecting conference in the world. See ya then.

Somebody reading...
Since the last instalment, we've been struggling with a few technical glitches in Oriel 1 which are constantly random. The timed system doesn't come on at the allocated time, some pictures have disappeared off one of the touch screens, some of the listening posts are tempremental. There must be a technical term for 'Gremlins', but I prefer to imagine little green creatures eating the wires.
I'm involved in setting up two exhibitions for 2009/2010 at the moment. One is an exhibition of Italians living in Wales, and the other is on British Sign Language, which will draw comparisons between BSL and Welsh - a radical, new approach to the way BSL has been viewed in the past.
We also held a very successful Hindu festival, and will be celebrating the re-opening of the temple in Grangetown, Cardiff this Saturday the 22nd. Come along to sample the sights, sounds, food and fun!
Other than that, I've been meeting with a community from Johnstown to collect the objects that they've curated for our Community Dresser. If all goes well, they will be on display well before Christmas.
Last, but not least, an exhibition by Mary Lloyd Jones, the internatinally renowned artist, called First Language, is being set up at the moment. It will open officially on October 4th.
Please feel free to comment - at the moment I feel that my blogs are very technical and rather lifeless. If people comment, maybe I could relax a bit and adopt a more conversational tone. See you soon!
August 2007
Once more unto the breach...
Another project that I've started is trying to beef up the Youth corner of Oriel 1. The screen which is currently showing stills of Maes B events from the past will soon have a lively video of the events from 2007. The Meic Stevens guitar case will hopefully be clearly signed and will contain records and pictures to complement the story.
With the imminent launch of the Virtual Museum, there are a few projects to prepare for that, namely the Community Dresser objects, and interviews held with young people during Eisteddfod week.
I'm also involved in an exciting new project to build a turf round house at the Celtic Village, a radical new design that will turn archaeological theory on its head!
Other than that, I'm visiting Newport Museum this week to discuss their Pop exhibition plans, and have been on Welsh television and radio to promote Oriel 1 and the work that I'm doing. Things are beginning to move quite swiftly!

Malcolm Stevenson "Steve" Forbes Jr., head of the Forbes magazine empire, is an active supporter of a number of militarist policy organizations that have pushed for an expansive "war on terror." Twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, Forbes has adeptly used his company, which was founded by his grandfather in the early 1900s, as a tool of his political ambitions.1
Though he often portrays himself as a Washington outsider, Forbes has been a leading figure for more than two decades among conservative political elites. During the Reagan years, Forbes was an important funder of what reporter Glenn Frankel called the "supply-side, tax-cutting wing of the Republican Party."2 Forbes continues to be one of the most notable and adamant advocates for supply-side economics, which promotes cutting taxes on the theory that doing so increases revenues.
While the "flat tax," which in contrast to graduated taxes (typical in most of the industrialized world) would impose a single "flat" tax rate on all income levels, is his best-known contribution to rightist political discourse, Forbes has been a longtime proponent of hardline nationalist foreign policies. He has served on the boards of several right-wing and neoconservative organizations, including the Clifford May-led Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), the Heritage Foundation, Freedom House, and Empower America. He is a member of the Committee on the Present Danger, an advocacy group that promotes Bush administration "war on terror" policies. Forbes was also a signatory to the 1997 founding statement of principles of the neoconservative-led Project for the New American Century (PNAC). The statement laid out a number of foreign policy principles that served as a basis for neoconservative advocacy efforts in the years leading up the election of George W. Bush, including the use of preemptive force, arguing that "the history of the 20th century should have taught us that it is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge, and to meet threats before they become dire."3
In 1985, President Ronald Reagan appointed Forbes as head the Board of International Broadcasting (BIB), the bipartisan government organization that then ran Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. During his tenure from 1985 to 1993 Forbes helped ensure that the radio station, which was made famous for its anticommunist broadcasts into the Soviet Union during the Cold War, was properly funded.4 (Today, the organization is involved in "war on terror" messaging campaigns broadcast into the Middle East.)5
At the end of his tenure with the BIB, the only governmental position he has held, Forbes received the "Keeper of the Flame Award" from Frank Gaffney's Center for Security Policy, an award the center gives to people for "devoting their public careers to the defense of the United States and American values around the world" and working to uphold the organization's credo of "peace through strength."6 Fellow awardees have included Caspar Weinberger, Newt Gingrich, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz.
Along with Jack Kemp, William Bennett, and Jeane Kirkpatrick, Forbes helped found Empower America in the mid-1990s, a conservative think tank in Washington, D.C. that advocated right-wing, small government domestic policy based on supply-side economics, as well as a security policy that called for a larger military and a missile defense system.7 He continues to serve on the board of the organization's successor, FreedomWorks.
In 1996, Forbes ran for the Republican presidential nomination on a platform that emphasized a regressive flat tax of 17 percent, but lost the nomination to Sen. Bob Dole (R-KS). Forbes tried and failed again to secure the Republican Party nomination in 2000. In his second run, Forbes shifted away from his fiscally conservative platform and embraced socially conservative issues that highlighted his Christian faith. In 1999 a Forbes campaign insider told Salon.com, "I don't think he's had a change in heart on the issues, I just think he's had a change in priorities. He was always pro-life, but now he's out saying he'd protect life first and foremost, even before the flat tax, and that is definitely a change in priorities. Sure, there's an element of pandering in that. But in '96 Steve underestimated conservative voters in Iowa and South Carolina and their commitment to pro-life issues."8
Forbes reportedly spent $80 million of his own money on the two presidential bids, selling off some of his stock in the Forbes empire to fund his political ambitions.9 During his time in the political spotlight, Forbes was critical of the Clinton administration's defense policy, stating in a 1998 speech at the Center for Security Policy that Clinton had severely reduced U.S. military readiness, which could undermine U.S and global economic stability. "We live in a time of relative peace and rising prosperity," Forbes said. "But this did not happen by magic. The international economic order rests upon a foundation built by free markets, free elections, and the strong and vigilant moral and military leadership of the U.S."10
In 1999, in the midst of campaigning, Forbes' book A New Birth of Freedom was published, highlighting his policy positions on everything from defense spending to economic policy and education reform.11 In the book, Forbes criticized the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and the decrease in percentage of GDP spent on defense, among other things.12
Forbes has been a strong advocate of NATO expansion, writing in 1998, "A bigger NATO would forcefully tell reactionary communists and xenophobic nationalists that their fantasies of reestablishing a Soviet-style empire will remain just that. And democratic forces in Russia would thereby be strengthened."13
In helping found the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies in 2002, Forbes teamed up with a formidable cast of neoconservative figures, including Clifford May, James Woolsey, and Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), in championing a hardline view of Middle East policies that became the central theme of the war on terror.14 He serves on the FDD board, and, like many neoconservative commentators, has demonstrated a fear of Islam, writing in 2006 in his weekly Forbes column, "We suffered many setbacks and lost many battles during the Cold War, yet we triumphed in that 40-year struggle. Ultimately we will defeat Islamic fanaticism."15
Some of Forbes' aides hold views similar to those of Israel's Likud Party, which promotes a hardline stance vis-à-vis Middle East peace, including denying Palestinian statehood. Among Forbes' political advisors during his presidential campaigns was Joel C. Rosenberg, a former Heritage Foundation staffer who served as an advisor to former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Deputy Prime Minister Natan Sharansky, both key Likud Party figures.16
During the 2006 Israel offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Forbes spoke out against a cease-fire agreement. In a Fox News interview he said, "I think the answer is to cripple Hezbollah. They have … violated routine agreements in the past. They provoked this. A cease-fire will simply put off the day of reckoning. Lebanon will never get democracy with that force there. I think the Israelis are right to realize it's now or never."17
Similarly, in response to the 2006 Iraq Study Group, which recommended a diplomatic course in pushing regional peace in the Middle East, Forbes adopted some of the core rhetoric of neoconservatives who were critical of the group's conclusions. In an interview about the report, he said, "This idea of flipping Syria sounds like Neville Chamberlain talking about flipping Mussolini from Hitler in the 1930s. I don't know what these people were inhaling. It's not going to happen. And, if it does happen, it's going to come at a severe price, which the Israelis are not going to accept." In the same interview, Forbes said of Iran that it "is trying to build 25 nuclear weapons each year. It intends to use those weapons. It has a lunatic who has made it very clear what he wants to do with them. And this doesn't deal with that."18
Forbes served as national campaign co-chair and senior policy advisor to Rudy Giuliani during Giuliani's failed campaign for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, saying that, "Rudy Giuliani showed how exercising fiscal discipline—including tax cuts—lowers deficits, spurs economic growth and increases revenue. It is time the rest of the country benefit from a true fiscal conservative leader who gets real results."19 After Giuliani dropped from the race, Forbes endorsed Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and began serving as his economic advisor.20 Also during the 2007 primary campaign, Forbes donated money to the Ron Paul campaign.21

Feb17 Sages CageSalt Lake CitySundance Film FestivalVertical DInerFilm Festivals Sundance Film Festival 2012 There was a huge snowstorm. My first breakfast was donuts from Ronald's. We drove to Utah so we stopped in Vegas and got a dozen for the road. For a camera nerd like myself getting to check out Canon's new C300 was a dream come true. Not a perfect camera but pretty amazing nonetheless. Why does it have to be so expensive??? I got my badge, espresso, and plenty of tickets to some incredible movies. I don't know if Sundance still programs films this cool (jk) but here is my short film Ignite that got in a few years ago. Lucky for me Sundance has an awesome Alumni program. Thank you. And for the record I have never had an institution as supportive of my film career as Sundance has been. Thank you. I was able to go to a few premieres which is pretty fun since all the cast and crew are there. I know some people go to Sundance for parties but there are so many movie nerds that go just to watch movies = me. I went to Vertical Diner three times. It's so frggin good. A vegan diner that serves breakfast all day and has a wonderful selection of local beers. Homemade vegan cheese in this awesome quesadilla. Amazing Tender Tigers = fried chicken tenders with ranch. This vanilla shake is what it's all about. BEWARE!!! Peanut Butter Brownie Sundae photo session. This sundae knocked my socks off. Alix's gear for the day. Loving her fancy coat vaute couture In Park CIty I love hanging at Squatters. They have several good vegan items on the menu and quite a nice selection of beers on tap. Fun times. I love that they have a mondo vegan breakfast and vegan pancakes. We went to the premiere of Compliance. There was a huge uproar from the audience afterwards. Quite exciting. It snowed a lot. Here I am helping cars stuck in the snow. I pushed a lot of cars Saturday. Which was a good idea because we needed 7 people to get our car out of the snow late in the evening. Helping each other out = cool. Zoe and Alix outside the Library Theatre. I was so happy when we scored tickets to see The End of Love. And look it's Mollie, the magic behind KindKreme and one of the producers of The End of Love. We had to dig the car out three times. This was the easiest time. Look it's Alix and Jenn. I almost forgot the good eats I got from Cafe Trang. Lunch special. Yum. And it's like 10 steps from the Sundance HQ. There was some really cool stuff going on in the New Frontier building. I think this section is usually free to get into during the festival. Vertical Diner and Sage's Cafe are connected, not physically but they're connected. We went to Sage's for brunch and it's really good. Pesto crepe, french toast and breakfast sandwich. Unbelievable. I love breakfast. There was a lot of nice sunlight heading into Sage's Cafe. I grew up in the snow and I have always loved it. I miss seeing all the snowplows and the artifacts of a snowstorm. This looks like the same plow that saved my school in the 80's. The driver is waving to me. Hello. There are friendly people here. Lonely glove. A Club Car converted into a snow plow. Cute and funny. This little orange guy is cool. Remember the vegan boots I got at Moo Shoes in NYC? The Snowdon from Vegetarian Shoes are friggin awesome. One of my favorite shots. Alix went to Alt Summit and it was at this crazy hotel. I felt like I was in The Shining, although it's not the right style it just had that feeling. Wait, it's one of the last movies we get to see at Sundance before we head home. One of these days we'll go for the entire festival. Have you seen the movie Rubber? It's about a killer tire. This is the director Quentin Dupieux. This is right after seeing his new movie Wrong. We barely made it to this theatre in one piece. A treacherous snowstorm almost got the best of us. We're back at Vertical Diner for breakfast. Breakfast sandwiches are the best. Biscuits & Gravy are the best. This crazy breakfast is the best. We left town in style with this unforgettable meal. Time to go home. Boo. Bye Utah. Until next time. Permalink

(Thursday, December 12th)
Final Score: San Diego 27, Denver 20
Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Peyton Manning sat and waited on the sideline as San Diego kept moving the chains and churning the clock. The Chargers' slim playoff hopes don't look so slim anymore. Ryan Mathews ran for 127 yards and a touchdown and Philip Rivers tossed a pair of scores to Keenan Allen as the Chargers shocked the Denver Broncos 27-20 on Thursday night. The Chargers, who snapped Denver's 10-game AFC West winning steak, held the ball for nearly 39 minutes and converted 6-of-12 third downs. Denver tallied 127 yards on its first two drives of the game, but totaled just 168 yards the rest of the way. The Broncos' 295 total yards and 20 points were a season low. Rivers was 12-of-20 for 166 yards for San Diego (7-7), which moved a half game behind the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins for the AFC's second wild-card spot. Manning flipped a 5-yard TD pass to Andre Caldwell with 10:30 remaining to pull the Broncos within 24-17 and Denver got the ball back at its own 3 with 5:50 to go following a San Diego punt. Manning, though, was intercepted on the third play of the drive by linebacker Thomas Keiser to all but seal the outcome. Chargers defensive end Corey Liuget fought through a double team and hit Manning as he threw and Keiser notched the easy pick. Nick Novak's 35-yard field goal after the pick gave the Chargers a 27-17 lead with 2:36 left. Matt Prater nailed a 42-yard field goal with 34 ticks on the clock to whittle the deficit to 27-20, but the ensuing onsides kick went out of bounds.

Thoughts, rants, and the genuine life of me. I identify as a mixed chica; part Latina, part Scandinavian, mostly misunderstood.
Life is a funny thing
It's been a couple of weeks since my last post. I've manged to apply to what feels like a million jobs (hooray for being a new graduate) and had one interview - followed by a rejection letter. I'm sure I'll find work, but until then it's hell trying to pay for things I need… like an apartment and food.
Speaking of food, I recently went to a "Mexican" eatery in my town. I use quotes because I live in an area where they think they are cultured and diverse because there is a college here. So the food here is typically less than sub-par.
Anyway, I went to lunch at this place with a friend and realized why else I am the worst Mexican ever. I don't like beans. Red beans, pinto beans, basically it doesn't matter. They are icky. On very rare occasions I will eat black beans, but I only tolerate them. It's a texture thing. Why would I want to put this thing in my mouth that has the flavor of dirt and the consistency of wet sand? No thanks.
Any one else have this problem?

Pneumatic or mechatronic gripping?
The multi-tooth guided universal gripper PGN plus from SCHUNK is a robust and proven all-rounder.
05.05.2012 - In many industries, the increasingly wide range of product variants, the ever-shorter cycle of innovation, and the increasing comparability among products are leading to an enormous pressure on costs. Experts believe that production automation will be one of the keys to business success in the coming years. These issues also apply to gripping systems: the precision, flexibility, speed and reliability of a gripping system has a significant impact on the profit margin which they can achieve. Although pneumatic gripping systems were long considered the state of the art, mechatronic solutions have since made significant strides. As a result, users and system planners are increasingly faced with the question of which drive concept is more advantageous to handling and assembly processes: pneumatics or mechatronics?
Adaptable drives, versatile controller concepts, and the large selection of standard interfaces have made it increasingly easy to integrate mechatronic modules into higher-level system controllers. At the same time, the rapid progress in electrical servo drives are making mechatronic components increasingly attractive from a price and efficiency perspective. As a result, comparing the advantages of the two drive concepts has become an increasingly important step in the process of selecting the optimal gripping system.
PGN-plus linear direct drive
The compact PPU-P pneumatic unit from SCHUNK is particularly designed for high-speed applications.
Pneumatic solutions are robust, have a compact performance, and are easy to operate.
Pneumatic gripping systems have been continuously optimized over the past decades. They are generally fully developed from both a construction and mechanical point of view. Systems such as the multi-tooth guided PGN plus universal gripper, the MPG plus is a roller guided gripper for handling small components, and the most powerful SRU plus swivel unit from SCHUNK, the compentence leader for clamping technology and gripping systems, are powerful, robust and reliable performers for even the most demanding tasks. Pneumatic systems are very easy to operate and maintain, making them well-suited to users who do not have a high level of technical knowledge. Finely graduated, standardized series and a comprehensive range of accessories make it possible to achieve a customized design at an attractive price. On average, pneumatic modules require an investment that is one-third to one-half that of comparable mechatronic modules. Users who assemble only identical parts, who require high cycle times, and who have little mechatronic knowledge are thus well-served by pneumatic solutions. As a rule, only the sealing components of these systems require ongoing maintenance, which also helps users maintain an overview in their maintenance costs. Because of the need for compressed air, their operating costs are comparatively high; however, this can be significantly reduced by the use of micro valves. Nowadays, highly efficient valve solutions are available for many pneumatic modules, from grippers to complete pneumatic pick&place units; these solutions can reduce compressed air consumption by up to 90% while also increasing the cycle time by up to 100%. By these means, pneumatic pick&place units can achieve up to 95 picks per minute with a repeat accuracy of 0.01 mm and high energy efficiency. However, air-operated rotary and linear modules are still poorly suited to particularly large translational movements over approximately 1500 mm, or to high loads over approximately 50 kg. Pneumatic systems remain poorly suited to such conditions. By contrast, electrically driven linear modules (spindle/belt drives) can achieve linear movements up to 8000 mm, and electrical rotary modules can handle loads up to 800 kg.
The EGA long-stroke gripper can be equipped with many of the conventional servo motors
Mechatronic solutions are energy-efficient and versatile in their application
Applications that require versatile and adjustable handling are well-suited to the use of electrically driven modules. They offer particularly high versatility: they allow mechatronic grippers, rotary and linear modules to approach non-standardized sequences of intermediate positions with a high level of precision and dynamics. During these processes, the position, stroke, speed, acceleration, force, and torque can all be individually adjusted. This makes it possible to handle a variety of parts during a process. In addition, mechatronic systems can quickly be adapted to handle new part designs. This increases the versatility of handling and assembly processes, and also provides a great deal of flexibility in the introduction of new products, sizes, and equipment specifications. The increasing wide range of product variants also make these systems increasingly attractive. This is particularly the case for applications with a high number of cycles and many gripping processes. In such processes, electrically driven grippers operate with greater energy and cost efficiency than their pneumatic counterparts. Even though the initial investment is usually significantly higher than in pneumatic modules, decreases in the cost of acquisition and operation have led to significant decreases in the amortization time of mechatronic modules. Their performance is now also on a par with pneumatic solutions. Like its pneumatic counterpart, for example, SCHUNK's mechatronic EPG gripper for small components is now equipped with a high-performance junction roller guide, which offers unusually high efficiency and speed while maintaining consistently high gripping force. Even very simple mechatronic modules are equipped with maintenance-free servo motors, which help make the modules extremely compact and reliable. In some cases, mechatronic modules can even be started up or maintained via the internet or a data line.
The electrically driven EGP gripper for small components can directly replace the pneumatic MPG-plus.
Switching systems is getting easier all the time
The start-up and integration of mechatronic modules has become much simpler due to factors such as adaptive drives. However, users continue to require significantly greater know-how for mechatronic solutions than for pneumatic ones. While intuitive plug & work concepts will at some point become available for complex systems and high-speed applications, this is not yet the case. However, the compatibility and handling of simple mechatronic applications has improved significantly in recent years. Within its mechatronic series, SCHUNK has developed a group of modules that have made the switch from pneumatic to mechatronic systems easier than ever before. For example, the EGP gripper for small components is comparatively simple to control via a digital sensor distributor. In many cases, users can transfer the sensor systems used in the MPG plus to the EGP, and easily convert existing systems from pneumatic to electrical operation. Similar to its pneumatic counterpart, the EGP can be screwed through and fixed either laterally or at the base, which also simplifies the conversion to a mechatronic solution.
With these rapid advances in mechatronic modules, users and system planners can benefit from a careful assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of different types of drives. SCHUNK offers both pneumatic and mechatronic solutions within what is the world's most comprehensive module selection for gripping systems, which in turn provides users with significant synergy benefits.
New application possibilities for square pole technology
The electro-permanent square pole technology is a part of the magnetic clamping technology, and represents an ideal clamping solution for machining centers. It offers numerous advantages: Workpieces are easily accessible, and can be machined in one set-up from five different sides. It is no longer necessary to spend time on the fine adjustment of clamping elements. Multiple clamping operations of workpieces during the machining process are no longer necessary as well. In addition to milling applications, square pole technology also covers flat grinding applications. Moreover, special display modules increase process reliability and create optimum preconditions for automated loading.

High-performance automation from the modular system
Those who plan high-performance assembly plants for electronics, medical technology, automotive, or consumer goods industry, know of the challenges, if individual modules and assembly groups need to be linked to an entire system. Missing mechanical joining elements, incompatible controller concepts, or insufficient planning tools influence the planning and implementation processes as well as during the process itself. The variety of combinable system programs can be an efficient alternative - provided they are well thought out in terms of performance, volume, compatibility, and configuration.

Applying strengths in a targeted way
Stationary clamping systems have enormous hidden efficiency and quality potentials for production. Those who want to utilize them, should question, where the strengths of the individual clamping technologies are. If they are selected and combined in a targeted manner, their investment costs can be amortized very quickly.

The underestimated collaborators
In view of sophisticated lathe chucks, clamping blocks with compact performance, and highly engineered devices, the technological possibilities of chuck jaws may seem at the first glance rather limited. In reality, however, these direct interfaces to the workpiece open up enormous potentials: Beside conventionally hard and soft top jaws, a broad range of established chuck jaws ensure that even tricky clamping tasks can be economically solved. An overview shows what is potentially possible.

Efficient concepts for automated machine loading
In the past, automated loading and unloading was restricted to large series, today though, small batches and individual pieces are now standard. The ultimate aim is to reduce set-up involved downtimes and to have as few workers possible manning production around the clock. What is needed, is the sophisticated interaction of innovative clamping equipment and automated components which lead to utmost precision and ensures reliable processes all at the same time.

Consistent maintenance increases precision, process reliability, and safety of the clamping vises in the long run
Vises used for workpiece clamping in today's production environments are exposed to extreme conditions. This significantly influences the precision of the workpiece, process stability, and safety for both operator and machine. In order to ensure optimum clamping force, users normally follow the manufacturer's information on lubrication intervals. Moreover, many more companies are choosing preventive maintenance programs, where the clamping vise is thoroughly tested in defined cycles. This ensures longtime accuracy, minimum wear, and high process reliability.

High performance without chatter
The times when brachial roughing was normal are over. Those who want to produce a lot of chips in a short space of time now take advantage of high-quality cutting and intelligent toolholding systems that transmit high torques and, at the same time, reliably absorb any occurring vibrations. Modern toolholders protect the cutting edges, the machine spindle, and the workpiece surface and allow you to work with high metal removal rates even when using challenging materials.

Vacuum clamping technology: an ideal addition to the standard clamping devices
In comparison to clamping brackets, clamping blocks, jaw chucks, quick-change pallet systems, or magnetic clamping technology, vacuum clamping technology is mostly unknown in the metal cutting industry. Nevertheless, vacuum clamping technology can perform a valuable service here, especially when machining thin parts that are susceptible to deformation, or workpieces made of aluminum and other non-ferromagnetic materials. Particularly when they are in the form of versatile matrix plates, they are a useful and easy to handle addition to clamping devices already in use.

Gripping Systems of the future
Mechatronic handling systems offer distinct advantages: They are very flexible, offer numerous intelligent functions, and despite higher acquisition prices, they quickly pay off. Therefore, it is no surprise that the handling issue is becoming increasingly important in the pneumatics dominating world. This particularly applies, since more and more mechatronic components can be easily operated by average users.

Tool extensions with minimal interfering contours
Due to the success of modern 5-axis machines, tool mountings with slim interfering contours have experienced a real boom. With sufficient torque, and high run-out accuracy they allow a deep, collision-free tool path into the workpiece, and thus ensure precision machining, even in areas which are difficult to access. These slim tool extensions are economic, flexible, and can be assembled between tool and toolholder on request. They can be combined with various machine tapers.

Up-to-date support for all gripping tasks
Gripping systems in handling and assembly are often in operation around the clock, seven days a week. Many components have to withstand external influences such as chips, dust, aggressive media or heat. In addition, tight margins and deadlines due to just-in-time production often result in enormous scheduling and planning pressure, usually starting well before the initial commissioning. In view of these challenges, many purchasing decisions are increasingly made based not only on the quality and performance of the modules, but also on the range of services offered. Services increase planning reliability, facilitate commissioning and ensure maximum cost effectiveness during operation.

Love this recipe. It is easy to prepare and I particularly like the fact that I rubbed, seared, marinated (with beer), cooked and then grilled! I highly recommend the grilling and addition of a favourite marinade at the last moment - it gives the finish a wee kick. I think next time I would also add some garlic during cooking in the oven part.
Have fun with this one!
Thank you Steve E.
The addition of garlic is a great idea. I made this for guest's this past weekend and I added a few sprigs of fresh rosemary from the garden to the beer marinade and that also enhanced the flavor. Next time I'll add a couple cloves of crushed garlic and I'm sure that will be a tasty as well. The one constant with this recipe is I don't think I've ever made it the same way twice. Thanks for the idea.
My husband cried when he saw me pour his beloved Guinness in the marinade and said "What a waste"! He was sure singing a different tune when he ate them and said they were the best ribs he had ever tasted. I had to cut down on the chili powder and left out the chili flakes to cater to those who couldn't stand the "heat" but they were still perfect. I did all the oven preparation the night before and brought the ribs to room temperature before grilling. Super easy and awesome taste. I will definitely be making these again.
Glad you enjoyed them Liz. I hope your husband saw the beauty in why I was using Guinness in the first place. If you want it to taste great in the end you need to start with great ingredients.
One of my favorite simple things to do is to take country style ribs and just roll them in the dry rub and let them stand for a half hour till a nice sticky sauce has formed. I just put these right onto the grill for about 6 to 8 minutes per side, let them rest for a few minutes and enjoy. It's sort of ribs express when I don't have the time for the full deal.
We always boil ours in vinegar water with some 2-3 crushed cloves of garlic then I use any BBQ sauce then add 3-4 tbs of spicy brown mustard, a splash of soy sauce, a few splashes of steak sauce 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, a few squirts of ketchup and a couple tbs of brown sugar. Mix all together with the BBQ sauce and then throw in the boiled ribs, cover then grill.
As I learn more through cooking school I realize I've missed important elements that seasoned cooks know to do.
To that end I now sear my ribs in a pan with a little oil after the dry rub is on. This gives them a nice crust that helps build richer depth of flavor during the braising process.
I'm also almost always using apple cider these days as a braising liquid since my wife does not like beer and I was getting tired to making two separate dishes. I must admit the cider is really quite good and I almost prefer it over the beer....I said almost.
All the cooking is done in the oven already and I just use the grill to give the ribs some nice colour and get the BBQ sauce to caramelize.
If I was to do this just indoors, after the braising I'd lay them on a baking sheet and cover them in sauce and put them back in the oven under your broiler for a few minutes. I think you'll still get a great end result.

There are a lot of jokes made about the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., but the appearance by HFPA president Dr. Aida Takla O'Reilly won't do much to dispel that notion. O'Reilly asked the cameras to scan the room to take in the assembled talent (they didn't). Then she made reference to disappearing into the "delta twilight" and finally ended with a personal message to nominee Bradley Cooper. "Call me, baby." Cooper's response? He could be seen mouthing the words, "Wow. OK."

Liverpool |
Full Name: Liverpool Football Club Introduction:Liverpool Football Club were founded on March 15, 1892 by brewery owner John Houlding, who at the time was also the owner of the Anfield Road stadium. Anfield Road had been used used by Everton Football Club but the Blues left in protest over proposed rent increases. In response, Houlding formed a brand-new club and named it Liverpool Football Club. Liverpool FC played one season in the Lancashire League before joining the Football League for the 1893-94 season. Liverpool became a major force under the guidance of legendary manager Bill Shankly, and later Shankly's longtime assistant Bob Paisley. The Reds' period of sustained dominance in the 1970s and 1980s was unmatched until the rise of Manchester United in the 1990s. Anfield:The Anfield stadium is located on Anfield Road, adjacent to Stanley Park. Arch-rival Everton's stadium is located at the opposite end of the same park. One end of the stadium is known as the Kop (named for the 1906 battle of Spion Kop in the Anglo-Boer War) and holds pride of place for providing some of the best support in the world. Liverpool Emblem:Liverpool FC use the official city of Liverpool colors of red, and the Liverbird (a symbol of the city) in its club emblem. Liverpool's emblem also includes two eternal flames and the Liverpool motto, You'll Never Walk Alone in honor of the Liverpool supporters who died in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster. Liverpool have sadly been involved in two of football's greatest crowd disasters - Heysel in 1985 and Hillsborough in 1989. The team's foundation date can also be seen at the bottom. Liverpool FC Motto:The Liverpool FC motto 'You'll Never Walk Alone' is one of the club's most famous traits. It has subsequently been adopted by other clubs around the world. It originally appeared in the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstien musical Carousel and was later popularized by the 1960s Liverpool pop group Gerry & The Pacemakers and soon after was adopted as an anthem by Liverpool FC supporters. Rivals:The rivalry with Everton is known as the Merseyside Derby for the Merseyside area encompassing Greater Liverpool. Merseyside takes its name from the river Mersey which flows through Liverpool. Liverpool's second chief rival are Manchester United. Liverpool and United are the two most successful clubs in England, having jointly won the most top-level league titles in England. Their matches are sometimes called the Northwest Derby. Major Trophies:First Tier League Titles
Second Tier League Titles
Cup Titles
International Titles
