Imagine Being Harassed by Violent Right-Wing Lunatics Every Time You Go to Work -- Meet the Brave Doctors Who Risk Their Lives to Help Women
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Imagine having to go everywhere in a bulletproof vest. Having your personal information spread around the Internet, and in circles known to promote violence in their midst. Imagine knowing that your colleague, or the man whose office you now work in, was shot to death in church and that a vital movement cheers his killer on every day.
Imagine watching legislature after legislature pass bills designed to make your work uncomfortable or impossible.
And imagine going to work anyway, and becoming more and more determined despite all the obstacles.
That's the story of many abortion providers in the wake of the murder of Dr. George Tiller as the new "Summer of Mercy 2.0" -- or more accurately, summer of harassment by right-wing extremists -- heats up.
The Washington Post recently caught up with doctor LeRoy Carhart, one of the few remaining doctors who openly provides late-term abortions. His new clinic in Maryland is now under seige by the same lunatics who harassed Dr. Tiller for years, the Operation Rescue folks and their extremist ilk.
LeRoy Carhart travels from his home in Nebraska almost every week to perform abortions at a clinic in Germantown, Md. He rarely stays at the same hotel twice. He rolls dice to pick the route he'll take to work, because "the biggest part of security is not being predictable," he said
And later in the piece, a picture of the security at Carhart's new clinic:
Protesters holding graphic signs are a constant presence outside privately owned Reproductive Health Services clinic, which is tucked in a small office park in Germantown.
Carhart has installed two security cameras outside the clinic....Visitors to his Nebraska clinic have to walk through a metal detector, similar to those in airports; he would like to install one in Germantown.
Previous profiles of Carhart and Dr. Warren Hern, the only other doctor after Tiller's death who performs late abortions with a similar high profile to Carhart, have been described in previous profiles as wearing protective vests and never eating out for more than half an hour, and having multiple bulletproof doors in their clinics. Dr. Hern has seen bricks and bullets fly through his window. Dr. Carhart had his entire farm burned down.
Still, Dr. Carhart, undeterred, is fighting back, attempting to marshal a "summer of choice" to counteract their "summer of mercy." He believes, as do many activists, that ignoring these people may very well be at his peril.
In RH Reality Check, Kari Ann Rinker , of National Organization for Women (NOW), a pro-choicer from Wichita, Kansas, former home of Dr. Tiller's clinic and the original "Summer of Mercy," tells us what scars that summer has left on her town, and on women:
It's hard to believe that this town was once home to five abortion clinics, while now there are none. It's hard to believe that pro-choice Wichita has been fighting to protect this most vital of women's rights since 1991. The original Summer of Mercy has left a permanent imprint on this community. It gave birth to a new breed of abortion obsessed politicians and terrorists...Their Summer of No Mercy took away our choices and our doctors. It effectually high-jacked our legislative process and our individual respect.
Activists in Wichita are trying to start a clinic to replace Dr. Tiller's practice. In the meantime a new doctor, Dr. Mila Means, has announced plans to perform abortions in town, having purchased furniture and supplies from Tiller's clinic. While less of a stalwart fighter than Dr. Carhart (her views on abortion have vacillated),
Means, who intends to perform only early-term abortions to supplement her private practice, is already experiencing the harassment that comes with the job.

Twinks Porn
Twinks Porn bills itself as "the biggest and best young twinks porn collection." I'm not really sure it's either of those things, but that doesn't mean this mega-site should be dismissed just yet. After all, it does allow you to access content from four websites and some of that material is sure to excite you if you've got a taste for guys who are young and slim.
When you land on the homepage for TwinksPorn, you are presented with links to what I presume is the network's latest vids and pics. Below that are links to Twinks Fun, Unknown Twinks and Wicked Twinks, which are three of the four sites. There are links to other websites below them, but they aren't included with a membership.
The fourth site that you can explore is called Shocking Boys. Although there aren't any links to it on the mega-site's homepage, there are links on all three of the other sites. I have no idea why the sites aren't together on the main page, but that's the way it is.
Neither the mega-site nor the websites its comprised of have stellar designs. They're a bit plain and a feel a little dated. That said, they're pretty easy to navigate, with separate video and photo sections and large thumbnails. There isn't any kind of search engine to help you find specific scenes, so you're stuck browsing until something catches your eye.
When you add up everything that the websites offer, you come up with 722 videos and 904 sets of pictures. I assume that the network is still growing, but none of the content is dated, so it's tough to be sure. Still, with that much material at your disposal, you shouldn't need any additional content for a while. Even so, you can access some bonus sites by going through the different websites.
The videos bring you lots of one-on-one sex scenes, but there is also masturbation, threesomes and group sex. There are even movies in which different fetishes are explored. I didn't see any condoms, so that'll please all you bareback enthusiasts.
The videos can all be downloaded in clips and full-length versions are sometimes available as well. In some cases, you can stream them right on the site. The films aren't all equal in quality, but many offer good-quality playback.
The photos are a lot like the videos in terms of what they depict, so you can expect to see a lot of dick sucking and ass fucking. They mostly feature live-action lovers, but there are some comics to browse too. Another thing that the pictures have in common with the movies is that they vary in quality. Some aren't that big, but others are high-res. You can't view them in slideshows or download them in Zip files.
Although there's room for improvement, Twinks Porn ultimately provides you with lots of worthwhile content, so it's worth a look. Go ahead and join if you want to see young studs getting down and dirty.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Score without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

...$20.00 life insurance policy? Where did the rest of the proceeds of the life insurance policy go?!?
You do not state whether or not you inherit any part of your uncle's estate, nor if the estate is still open. If you are to receive an inheritance and the estate is still open, you may have a right to contest the accounting. Contact a local probate lawyer to find out what your rights are. At the very least, you can ask if $20.00 was the actual amount of the life insurance proceeds and, if not, ask for an explanation of how the rest of the proceeds were spent.
If you are an interested party you have the right to certain information. Twenty bucks is a pretty small insurance policy for sure...however older people often have very small insurance policies from years ago and its also possible that it was borrowed against and there was only cash value left so it could be depleted. If you think it should be more you need to ask for documentation. Usually the life insurance is not part of the "estate" so it is also possible you won't be entitled to information but since its on the accounting I assume the life insurance ended up payable to the estate.

Aurora Borealis Tonight For Northern Lights ShowAccuweather, Aurora Borealis, Aurora Borealis Tonight, Tonight
Aurora Borealis can be seen tonight in Seattle, New York, Pittsburgh, Washington, and parts of the US Midwest. Forecasters call for a rare spectacular light show.
Thanks to a big solar flare that left the Sun Thursday, Accuweather.com is generating some buzz online by predicting a "dazzling" light show tonight.
"The flare is also expected to cause vibrant northern lights from the Arctic as far south as New York, the Dakotas, Washington and Michigan, with a smaller possibility of it going into Pennsylvania and Iowa, even Kansas. The lights are currently estimated for 8 p.m. EDT Saturday arrival, with a possible deviation of up to seven hours. If the radiation hits much after dark settles on the East Coast the lights may be missed and will instead only be visible for the West."
They've also provided a pretty cool map (see above) that may or may not prove accurate.
Solar flares are waves of charged plasma that come streaming toward our planet at about four million miles per hour. When they hit the Earth's upper atmosphere they release visible light and are channeled toward the Earth's poles by the planet's magnetic field. The norther aurora borealis is called the northern lights. The displays over the southern pole are called the southern lights or aurora australis.
This particular blast of plasma may also put on a light show over parts of Europe and Russia too. Accuweather says the British Isles, and as far south as the northern parts of Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Latvia and Estonia may see the northern lights.
The opportunity to see the northern lights at many of these latitudes is a rare treat, but the usual caveats for celestial events still apply.

The Perfect G&T
Very recently I visited a bar that listed a range of Gin and Tonic options. This was the selection:
Tanqueray 10 Gin & Fever Tree Tonic with grapefruit
No 3 London Dry Gin with Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic
Beefeater Gin & Schweppes Tonic with a slice of lemon
Hendricks Gin, Slimline Tonic with cucumber
Sipsmith Gin, Fentiman's Tonic with orange
Bombay Sapphire & 6 O'clock Tonic with lime / elderflower atomizer
I picked No 3 London Dry after reading rave reviews but was ultimately disappointed. I put this down to the tonic and It got me thinking about crafting the (my) perfect G&T.
Already I am building up a gin collection, actually in my quest for the perfect Negroni (a subject for another post!). So far I have Tanqueray 10, Plymouth (80 proof), Aldi London Dry and Bombay Sapphire East. I am looking to further add Tanqueray Rangpur and Malacca, and Monkey 47.
I would be interested in recommendations of any complementary combinations and advice on further improving the drink including-
Amount of Ice
Freezing gin?
Additions - bitters. fruits, etc
I depends on how Juniper forward you like your G&T's. Your current selection is on the lighter side.
If you like regular Tanqueray I would try Junipero and Bluecoat Gins. I definitely prefer lime to lemon though I have thought of putting in the zest/juice of a preserved lemon just to see how it affects the drink.
The biggest change you can make is to put together your own tonic. You can make the drink as bitter or a sweet as you like. Once you make a batch it should last a while. The hardest part is filtering.
re: quazi
I should have mentioned that I am in the UK so those gins or not so readily available. Are there any similar gins to them?
Lime is something I always added but started to notice that it does not work so well with all gins, like it's clashing or almost overpowering the gin.
Never thought of making my own tonic but something I will definitely look at. Thanks.
Overall I am open to experiment with different gins be they juniper heavy, more citrusy, Old Tom style, etc. I am just looking to find G&T combinations that work.
I think it's odd they'd garnish a Hendrick's G&T with a cucumber, given that cucumber is such a prominent component of the gin's flavor. Kind of like garnishing a Lemon Drop with a lemon slice.
We don't get particularly fancy around our house, and though we've tried a few of the so-called artisanal tonics we haven't found anything we prefer to Schweppe's. That and Hendrick's and a squeezed lime wedge is our preferred version, or any decent London Dry if we're making too many to use $30 worth of gin on! We have some nice Lexan 8 oz tumblers and some 4-cube silicone ice molds from IKEA that make 2 3/4" cubes. Squeeze the lime wedge and drop it in, press the big cube down hard on it, pour in the gin not quite to the top of the cube and top with tonic. If it's just us (or if nobody's looking) I'll give the cubes a brief rotation with my finger and hand the drinks out.
We do keep Gilbey's or the like in the freezer, as we do any vodka, primarily for making Instant Martinis, but the Hendricks lives on the bar. Oh, and I had some nice Dutch genever that made very good drinks, and that stayed out too. I'd like to find more of that - it was Bokma, which I was sad to learn is no longer sold in the US.
re: Will Owen
Actually many cocktail and drink garnishes use one of the flavors that are present in the drink. The proper garnish for a Lemon Drop cocktail is a lemon peel.
re: Will Owen
Re Hendricks with Cucumber, it's a fair point but a drink that still works. More importantly it was a brilliant marketing ploy. The makers were saying, we are not just presenting you with a new Gin but a new Gin and Tonic. There was a time when bars in London only seemed to be selling that combo. I know people who still only drink a Hendricks G&T - with a cucumber of course. Caorunn Gin are trying a similar trick by suggesting it works better with a slice of red Apple.
Genever is something I have never tried but as the genesis of the modern drink, I guess I need to sample it.
re: DrinkinLife
I have heard about Brokers but not tried. Reviews are very positive and apparently also works very well in a Negroni:)
I have Orange bitters and was going to get some Grapefruit bitters. Never seen Lime bitters for sale so will seek that one out
re: ASingh
I like the Reegan's Orange bitters in my G&T when the tonic isn't as good (Schweppes, Canadra Dry, etc.).
I think you have the makings of a hobby here, and perhaps the seed of an interesting blog.
Over time you could try various combinations (there will be many) and keep notes. You could also do blind tastings of both gin and tonic separately. For example, you could have a friend pour very small amounts of different gins into different tasting glasses, then put the bottles in a bag so you can't see which gin it is. Taste each gin (gently) and keep notes.
You could do the same with various tonics.
Finally, you could do the same with the various combinations of G&Ts. If you conduct your tastings blind, you should eliminate any unconscious bias toward one brand or another.
Over time you could become an international authority on the venerable G&T, and have quite a nice time along the way.
Just a thought...
re: BrookBoy
You make a very interesting point and it's a theme that I was thinking about recently after reading the following blog posts
What struck me is how easily a discerning consumer was so surprised about the results of blind tasting. Even as connoisseurs, how much more are we influenced by marketing hype than our own taste buds. If the Aldi supermarket gin had not won Silver at the International Spirits Challenge, I never would have bought it.
I wish I had time to write such a blog. There is definitely an opportunity to create a platform to debate the the perfect classic Gin cocktails - incl Martini, Negroni, Tom Collins, Aviation, Corpse Reviver #2 - readers contributing with their own results.
re: ASingh
Agree very much with your point about how consumers are influenced by marketing hype. That's why I suggested a blind taste test.
Here's another striking example for you to consider:
In 2005, the Dining Section of the New York Times, conducted a blind taste test of 21 different vodkas, most (but not all) of which were high-end vodkas that command premium prices. The tasting panel included Eric Asimov, Florence Fabricant, Willliam L. Hamilton (all three of the NY Times), and Eben Klemm, who, at the time, was director of cocktail development for B. R. Guest.
The article says that the tasting coordinator playfully added a bottle of Smirnoff just for the hell of it. Guess which won? As Mr. Asimov stated in the article, "After the 21 vodkas were sipped and the results compiled, the Smirnoff was our hands-down favorite." This to their surprise and shock.
Here are the top ten vodkas as they rated them (in descending order), which I copied from the NY Times website, to which I subscribe:
BEST VALUE: Smirnoff United States Grain
80 proof
Pure, clean and ultrasmooth, with pleasing texture and classic vodka aroma.
Wyborowa Poland Single Estate Rye
80 proof 1 liter
Elegant and intriguing, with mild flavors and great persistence.
Belvedere Poland Rye
80 proof 1 liter
Great smoothness and purity, with good texture and body.
Absolut Sweden Level Grain
80 proof
** 1/2
Smooth and substantial, with flavors of flowers, lemon grass or nuts.
Hangar 1 United States Straight Wheat and Grain
80 proof
** 1/2
Pleasing, with complex flavors and a suggestion of sweetness.
Vox Netherlands Wheat
80 proof
** 1/2
Smooth and neutral, with savory flavors and a touch of alcoholic heat.
Olifant Netherlands Grain
80 proof 1 liter
Subtle, yet rich and complex.
42 Below New Zealand Wheat
84 proof
Straightforward, pure and smooth.
Skyy United States Grain
80 proof 1 liter
Unusual flavors of mint and lime.
Teton Glacier United States Potato
80 proof 1 liter
Clean and light on the palate; odorless and tasteless.
I think this really proves your point.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do. As long as it entails trying G&Ts, you ought to enjoy it...
re: BrookBoy
I am not surprised by this though vodka is all much of a muchness for me.
My personal G&T is Beefeater and Fever Tree(which just recently became regularly availible in my area) and a heavy squeeze of lime. I have always made lime heavy G&Ts, jus something about that extra sourness to balance the sugar in the tonic that works for me.
In terms of nice addition, I love a splash of Cassis liqueur as a variation.
re: Czequershuus
Many see Beefeaters and tonic as the definitive classic G&T, although purists state that lime should not go anywhere near this drink. You only use lemon.
This is a rule that may have been more applicable in the days when there was no, or little, variation in gin style. Personally I experiment with both depending on the gin. Lime was always my preference but I have distinctly noticed that it can really ruin the drink when using certain types of gins. I can't specifically remember which one it was, but once the lime just made for a very sour, one dimensional drink. The gin's botanicals were completely dominated by the lime. That said, other factors could play a part and be tinkered with, e.g. ratio of gin to tonic, amount of lime, amount of ice
I have a bottle of Cassis so will give that a try!
re: Czequershuus
re: hawkeyeui93
Boodles I have yet to sample. Apparently it goes well with lemon and sage
re: ASingh
I love Boodles. I prefer less juniper-heavy gins to more junipery gins like Tanqueray. My go-to for years was Plymouth, until it finally just became too expensive. Boodles is a great alternative. Then again, I don't care for tonic water, so I have no idea how it works in a G+T.
re: The Big Crunch
If you don't like tonic water, you would like Fever Tree even less. I was slow to get around to it, but it's a game changer for a G&T. I assume your primary use for gin is martini's?
re: ASingh
If you'll be in Barcelona you can find at least two of the American gins (Junipero and Bluecoat) at Vila Viniteca - there's also an interesting local gin called Gin Mare made with rosemary, basil, thyme and olives (good for martinis)
re: caganer
Caganer, thanks for the tip. I will be in Marbella and had already planned to pick up Gin Mare. They also make 1724 tonic that I mentioned.
So far from my experimentation, the ultimate G&T has been Tanqueray Ten with Fever Tree Tonic (1:2 ration) with a slice of lime.
re: Veggo
It's tough to say what the primary use is - I make a lot of cocktails and so many of them involve gin. I love the simple and refreshing nature of a Gin Rickey, especially in summer. I like gin fizzes. My GF's favorite drink is the Vieux Motte, which is gin dominant in terms of ingredients, though is really more of a showcase for St. Germain. I also love a Corpse Reviver #2, Negroni, Cooperstown, Pegu Club, etc... And yes, many a gin martini (2.5 gin, .75 Dolin dry, two dashes orange bitters, stir 35 seconds, strain, garnish lemon twist).
I wish I liked gin and tonics. They seem like such a timeless classic, and yet...that tonic water just doesn't work for me :(
re: The Big Crunch
It sounds like you are surviving life without quinine in grand style - cheers!
re: The Big Crunch
A Plymouth G&T is just ok for me, and since it works so much better in a Martini, I will save it for that
re: ASingh
Old fashioned as I am, I also prefer a gin martini. They have become an endangered species.
re: ASingh
I basically use it exclusively for martinis, trying to stretch out a bottle as long as possible. However, like I said earlier, Boodles is a pretty good substitute and makes an excellent martini.
Great topic. There is a restaurant in Philadelphia that used to have the four leading artisanal tonic waters, OK l hate the word artisanal , they had Fever tree, Q, Fentilman's and Tomr.
l snuck a bit of gin in one night and tried them all with a few gins, Junipero, Old Tom Ransom, and Old Raj.
IMHO, l preferred the Q tonic and the Junipero or Old Raj gin the best, the Ransom just overpowered all and l remain using this for drinking unadulterated. Lime wedge was used on all.
re: Delucacheesemonger
I was of the understanding the tonic water in the US was made to a different, sweeter formula. I am not sure how much that is true. The Bombay Sapphire East I bought in London was supposedly made specifically for the US market to complement the tonic water
It sounds a bit like the Three Chimneys pre-dinner gin and tonic menu!
Pick up Sipsmith at your next opportunity. I neglected to pick it up in London on my last trip and then happened upon it in the duty free store in Heathrow (which is crazy because they are a pretty low production operation).
Their Summer Cup is also excellent. It is similar to Pimms but in my view better. I picked it up from Gerry's when I was in London last (I was there to pick up Amer Picon which is impossible to find in the US).
I care for The Botanist a great deal. You may be already familiar with it. It is from Islay ... the same makers as Bruichladdich.
I could provide you with a number of US recommendations also if you are interested. I don't know how many are available in the UK ... I live in Seattle and very much enjoy Captive Distilling (Big Gin) and Sound Spirits Gin. Down in Oregon I like Ransom's Old Tom Gin. You might be able to get St. George spirits from California in the UK. I started off mostly interested in their absinthe but their Botanivore and Terroir gins are really solid. I find the Terroir appealing because it is made with botanicals found on Mt. Tam near the distillery. It may be too fir forward for traditionalists ...
If you can find it there try Jack Rudy small batch tonic from South Carolina. It was revolutionary to me by comparison to the big commercially available tonics.
re: klsalas
Being in Washington State, have you tried Victoria Gin [from British Columbia] yet? My wife brought me a bottle home from Vancouver last year and it was very solid.
re: klsalas
It's actually an Indian restaurant in London called Gymkhana. I highly recommend it and reckon it's the best Indian in London - and that's coming from an Indian!
If you ever pay a visit, you MUST try their Quinine Sour. One of the best Gi cocktails I have ever drunk.
I love Sipsmith, and live around 5 miles from the distillery, so planning to do one of their tasting tours. Sipsmith is one of a few gins I prefer neat. Summer Cup is 10 times better than Pimms. Make a punch on the recommended recipe on the bottle, and all your guests will ask for the recipe.
I am currently in Marbella on a quest to sample G&Ts here.
Just visited a bar, got talking to the owner and found she was from Barcelona and takes her Gin very seriously - not to mention has a very good selection.
So, I had a mini tasting last night with the intention to pop in every night to try different combinations. Last night I had the following
Gin Mare with sprig of Thyme (tasty, almost felt like after dinner drink
)Brockmans with pieces of raspberry and strawberry (absolutely delicious)
Both were served with Fever Tree tonic
From memory, she also carries these
Tanqueray Rangpur
Tanqueray Ten
No 209
London No 1
Fifty Pounds
And a few more I have forgotten
re: klsalas
Have seen Amer Picon on sale here so might pick it up if a lot cheaper than UK. A little confused between the 'Orange' and 'Biere' versions. Which do you use, and what cocktails do you recommend with either?
I understand you live in the UK, so some of the following spirits may not be available to you, but I have to say that *my* Gin-of-Choice varies upon the choice of my drink, the time of day, and my mood. The one consistent is Hendrick's -- can't stand the stuff!
Sticking with Gin & Tonic -- outside of Spain -- if I'm either throwing a party, or am in a restaurant/bar that is *not* focused on craft cocktails, I go with classic Tanqueray & Tonic. I know it will be fine, reliable, trustworthy.
If I *am* in a bar that has a true emphasis on cocktails, I'll generally go with whatever gin the bartender/house suggests . . . as long as it's not Hendrick's. If it is, I'll ask them to substitute it for someone more juniper-based (rather than cucumber-flavored vodka).
If I'm making a "serious" G&T at home, then it's generally going to be No. 209 Gin, or one of the gins from St. George Spirits ("Botanivore"), with Fever Tree tonic.
Plymouth, Bombay (regular, not Saphire), and No. 209 are more for Martinis -- with Bombay going in the driest ones, but if I'm using Caprano Formula Antiqua . . . .
/ / / / /
I only freeze vodkas that I'm going to drink straight. In making cocktails, the "ice melt" is a crucial consideration (IMHO), and I would NOT suggest freezing the gin.
re: zin1953
I'm confused about the Carpano reference in your mention of martinis. They only make a red, right? I can see it being used in a Martinez, but not a Martini.
re: The Big Crunch
Actually, I was always taught that a traditional Martinez calls for the following:
2 ounces gin
3/4 ounce sweet vermouth
1/4 ounce maraschino liqueur
Dash of Angostura bitters
Lemon twist for garnish
Now, in *my* world, when I see a recipe calling for "sweet vermouth," I think along the lines of Cinzano or Martini & Rossi RED, rather than an amber -- true, technically red -- vermouth like Antica Formula. Also, when making a martini with Antica Formula, I do not use the maraschino liqueur or the bitters -- just dry gin, Antica Formula and the lemon peel.
A true Martinez tastes different to me, but then again, that's *my* palate and YMMV.
As an aside, in a world that calls virtually anything a "Martini," as long as it's served up and in a martini glass, there is only one drink that I routinely call a Martini, and three variations thereof:
Martini -- the classic, bone dry drink, Gin, a hint of vermouth, and two olives;
Dirty Martini -- with the addition of some of the brone from the olive jar;
Vodka Martini -- I've given up, and acknowledge that some people prefer vodka; and,
"Venetian Martini" -- made with gin and Formula Antica, so named because the bar in which I first tried this cocktail called it so . . .
re: zin1953
Right now, nothing beats Tangueray Ten and Fever Tree for me. It's my premier choice when I'm in a party mood. For a change, and when I'm feeling more mellow I'm enjoying Gin Mare with a couple of basil leaves and stick of thyme - it doesn't really work with lemon/lime.
I've heard it said that Plymouth is more of a martini gin and just makes a middle of the road G&T. Personally I love it with tonic, especially using the Frosty Plymouth Gin and Tonic recipe (google it) but using Fever Tree in place of Schweppes.
To get the right temperature I'm refrigerating the gin and tonic and using 2 inch ice cubes. That seems to do the trick. That and drinking them faster!
my perfect G&T is two jiggers of bombay sapphire in a cut crystal old fashioned glass with three ice cubes, a half jigger (splash) of schweppes tonic and a wedge of lime to squeeze on top.
i haven't tried any fancy (expensive) tonics.
i tried hendricks and it is too floral for me.
tanqueray is fine. before sapphire, i preferred bombay gin to tanqueray.

Posted December 10, 2012 on AP on Fox
Derrick Williams says he is trying to stay patient through fluctuating playing time with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The former No. 2 overall draft pick has not played in four of Minnesota's previous nine games. Coach Rick Adelman has elected to go with veteran Dante Cunningham as the primary backup to All-Star Kevin Love at power forward, and Williams' playing time has suffered. He hasn't played more than 16 minutes in a game since Nov. 16. Not coincidentally, that is the last game Love missed with a broken right hand. Williams says he just keeps working in practice and staying ready. He says he has not requested a trade, even though his name has been the subject of trade rumors for much of the last six months.

The First Taper Plunge 0 commentsJun 28, 2013 9:37 AM
Chairman Bernanke's mention that the Federal Reserve Board might slow its $85 billion per month rate of Government asset purchases had dire consequences.
Markets around the world reacted violently. The FRB had to issue reassurances that the money bar was still open. Ironically, the first hint of an end to monetary easing may have actually resulted in central banks across the globe making money more available.
This much we know about the situation in the U.S. one week after the plunge. Markets have stabilized, the Dow Jones Industrial average is back above 15,000, the dollar is strong, gold prices have plummeted to the $1,225/oz level, and the yield on the 10-year bond is back to 2.5%.
The lesson of the June plunge is that low interest rates are essential. Any effort to bring interest rates higher, no matter how gentle or nuanced, is going to be painful and destabilizing. Financial markets simply do not believe that the economy is strong enough to handle higher interest rates. They know the debt structure isn't.
Mentioning the possibility of reducing asset purchases at the last FRB meeting was probably a mistake. Mr. Bernanke surely recognizes that the economy is far too weak to stand on its own right now and that abnormally low interest rates have to continue for yet a number of years. This suggests that it may not have been so much a voluntary statement as a diktat forced on him by finance ministers from countries worried about the value of their dollar reserves. The rest of the world may be losing its ardor for dollars and may have threatened to stop buying our paper.
Hints that external forces may have pushed Mr. Bernanke into a more hard-line position than he would have liked can be gleaned from President Obama's comment on PBS that Bernanke had stayed, "…a lot longer than he wanted to or he was supposed to." Former FRB chairman Greenspan also commented earlier that Bernanke might not have so long to hold interest rates down as he thinks he does.
There is nothing new about foreign central banks putting pressure on the U.S. to change its monetary policy. What is different in this episode is that there are far more chips on the table than ever before and the outcome of any actions taken will be far more consequential. In 1979, German central bankers suggested to President Carter that he appoint a hard-liner, "someone like Paul Volker", to be Chairman of the FRB in order to bring double-digit inflation under control. President Carter chose Mr. Volker and by 1982 the rate of inflation had fallen to under 4%.
Today, two fundamental flaws (the inability to create jobs and the need for very low interest rates) have deformed the economy far more than was the case in Mr. Volker's time. Mr. Volker had the luxury of being able to slow growth in the money supply, increase interest rates, and drain liquidity from the system over a number of years.
Mr. Bernanke is bumping into limits on how much more he can do, as real interest rates are already negative. The economy is still as dependent on outsized monetary and fiscal stimulus as it was when Mr. Obama took office. It is still dependent on borrowing about $500 billion a year overseas to cover chronic negative trade balances. The monetary spigots have to stay wide open or the economy will slip back into depression. Take the stimulus away tomorrow, and the economy will sputter and quit. There is no option but to keep the economy moving forward. Interest rates have to stay abnormally low, probably no higher than 2.5% on the10-year bond.
The contretemps right now is that the needs and desires of the U.S. are likely clashing with the needs and desires of our creditors. Friendly discussions could turn confrontational, if they are not already.
Who blinks first? Our guess is that the U.S. will decide that keeping the economy afloat is its top priority and will act unilaterally, if necessary, to keep interest rates low.
It now appears that the first taper plunge did not end the party. But more plunges can be expected so long as our answer to the threat posed by leveraged debt is to make it possible to leverage even more debt.Back To Clifford Neely's Instablog HomePage »

They're also allowed to vote sight unseen. It's not like the polls need hard data integrity.

He's not Ron Paul, but I am voting for him
I'm not sure why Gary Johnson is supporting equality in marriage so hard. I like Ron Paul's position: It's not the federal government's role to decide who can get married and who can't.
There are some other issues I don't agree with, but Gary Johnson is the only major candidate talking about:
- Ending the wars
- Ending the FED
- Abolishing the IRS
- Repealing/letting expire the Patriot Act & NDAA
- Ending the drug war
- Cutting spending
- Ending the two (one) party system

Product description
Widely acknowledged as the best hockey book ever written and lauded by "Sports Illustrated" as one of the Top 10 Sports Books of All Time, "The Game" is a reflective and thought-provoking look at a life in hockey. Ken Dryden, the former Montreal Canadiens goalie and former president of the Toronto Maple Leafs, captures the essence of the sport and what it means to all hockey fans. He gives vivid and affectionate portraits of the characters--Guy Lafleur, Larry Robinson, Guy Lapointe, Serge Savard, and coach Scotty Bowman among them--who made the Canadiens of the 1970s one of the greatest hockey teams in history. But beyond that, Dryden reflects on life on the road, in the spotlight, and on the ice, offering a rare inside look at the game of hockey and an incredible personal memoir. This commemorative edition marks the 30th anniversary of the book's original publication, and it includes a new foreword by Bill Simmons, new photography, and a new chapter, "The Game Goes On." Take a journey to the heart and soul of the game with this timeless hockey classic.

An inside tour of AMD's Atlanta super-datacenter (pictures)
Summary: Imagine squeezing 18 buildings worth of servers, data racks, and networking gear into just two. That's exactly what AMD is doing. ZDNet was one of the first to tour the company's soon-to-be only U.S. datacenter.
6 of 33Image
Monitoring room keeps a close eye on vital datacenter functions
Lamar Washington, the datacenter's manager, explains in the monitoring room the number of screens on desks and the wall that keep an eye on the vital functions of the facility. The dial displays, teams can keep an eye on power consumption, cooling, and other functions, which, as you might expect, need to stay in the green, or yellow — otherwise something clearly isn't working.
Here he is explaining that a good portion of the facility's monitoring focuses on the temperature. Atlanta, during the summer, is anything but cool. During the late-fall, winter, and spring months, the datacenter can run in economize mode, which uses less power to cool the data racks.
Image: ZDNet/CBS Interactive
Tape drives used for storage
Here, you can see a number of spare Dell tape drives that are able to store up to 3 terabytes (compressed) of data. These can be slotted into servers when they require replacement, or fail. And AMD uses technology from rivals and partners alike, including Dell and HP.
Image: ZDNet/CBS Interactive
Stacks of replacement drives
AMD executives weren't kidding — they have hundreds of spare drives in case others' fail. There are dozens of boxes of drives, which according to executives, in this room alone there are up to 2 petabytes. In terms of the overall datacenter tape storage capacity, the Atlanta facility is approaching the 5 petabyte capacity.

Folks: I've been brewing for about 3 years with over 70 or so batches under my belt. I'm looking to invest some more money into my craft. I've contemplated building a 2-vessel, 1 pump rims system with some high-grade stout kettles. You can check out the evolution of that design at this thread.
If you look at the price/parts list of the build mentioned above, I'm looking at spending $2700 for a quality brew system. I know I could build that system for a lot less, but I purposely avoided keggles/megapots that I would have to drill/weld/attach threaded fittings. I want IMPECCABLE sanitation and am willing to pay extra to achieve it (stout kettles have those sweet sanitary fittings).
My question is this: considering I'm looking at spending nearly $3000, why shouldn't I order a 50L Speidel Braumeister immediately? Seems like the repeatability factor with that unit would be second to none, and there's been some great reviews. The only limitations I can think of are as follows:
Do you want to be all electric? or is propane an option? Do you need/want automation? I here people really like the Speidel Braumeister.
I came across these guys recently during an search for kettles the other day.http://www.synergybrew.com/complete_...-brew-systems/
For me, repeatability is #1. I want to be able to focus more on recipe design, and controlling my fermentation. I want my process and sanitation to be IMPECCABLE. I like the fact that this system doesn't have any uneccessary transfers, hoses etc. Automation is great if it saves me hours of my brew day. I currently, I brew 5 gallon full-boil batches in a 9 gallon pot on a turkey fryer. I mash in a converted 10gal cooler. I don't use any pumps so everything takes forever. I cool my wort using a copper immersion chiller (also takes forever). Also, I live in WI so when I brew in the winter, it can really be a pain.
Not saying your approach is wrong, but one of the joys I get from this passion (it's a hobby but it's a love hate relationship) is the brew day. I feel like a mad scientist and while it may take several hours I get to RDWHAHB.
Have you thought about saving up and getting something like this http://www.brewmagic.com/products/br...v350ms-system/
Looks like you are looking for something that is already completely assembled and ready to go. I believe this would work. Although it's about double your budget.
Someone from my local club is selling thier Brewmagic I just noticed. Asking $4500 http://alemakers.com/plugins/forum/f...topic.php?6952
Anything over $3000 is over my budget—besides, if I were to do a multi-vessel propane system I'd build a 2 vessel RIMS system like the one in the thread I mentioned above.
OatStraw, I know the 6 hour brew day / manual labor all TOO well. I do love my craft and I love my brew day, but right now I have ZERO automation and I think I could take my craft to a new level going from 5 gallon to 10 gallon batches. I just don't want to add extra hours cleaning 2 additional vessels.
Get the Braumeister!!!! I friggin love that thing and I'm brewing so much more since it makes the brewing process more enjoyable. No regrets
Man that Braumeister looks cool. It's got me thinking about my next electric build. Im picturing a chain hoist, PID's, stainless for days... Thanks for the inspiration Spiedel!
Oh, the Sabco looks pretty slick for a gas system.
