I've got a few ideas, but nothing is definitive yet. What is the name of your brewery? I'm not looking to steal anyone's idea I'd just like to know what everyone came up with and why.

One of my racing friends dubbed me "Blue Flag Brewing" in honor of the racing flag painted on the hood of my car slightly humorously. It is a cautionary flag that means "Faster car approaching behind you."
My wife had some stick-on labels printed for me for our anniversary. She had asked in passing what I would call my beer if I ever retired rich and decided to open a brewpub.. I thought for a bit, and took both my size and surname into account.. I told her "I don't know, hon. Probably 'Fat Woody's.'" It's stuck now that it's printed on labels.. So that's it.
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.... The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." - Thomas Jefferson, in letter to William S. Smith, 1787
Take me to your liter Fermenting: Belgian Golden Strong ale Bottled and waiting: Imperial IPA 5 gal A batch of IPA 5 gallons, split to half wyeast American ale and half wyeast British ale Bottled and being consumed Nothing, friends cleared me out like a batch of piranhas, sign I am getting better I guess

Eurus Brewing. Means East Wind God When I was younger, I swear I used to be able to predict wind gusts and sometimes strange things would happen with winds and such. And the East has a great deal of meaning to me as well. So....I put the two together and used the East wind God.
Pariah Breweries, because in my fruitless attempts to get my friends involved in brewing I realized that they saw brewing as just one of my "obsessive articles".

John Kenny (Clan-na-Gael)
John Kenny (1847–1924) long-time member and multi-term president (1883, 1914) of the Clan-na-Gael in New York, which supplied support to the rebels in Ireland, culminating in the Easter Rising. Under the cover of personal and business trips, he served as liaison between the "Home Office" (the Irish Republican Brotherhood in Ireland) and the New York Clan-na-Gael. In 1914 he served as the Clan's envoy to Berlin to present the Clan's proposal that Germany sell arms to the Irish, who would then stage a rebellion against their common enemy, England . On his return to New York he stopped in Dublin to inform Thomas Clarke.[1][2] He returned to Ireland to deliver money for the guns and to bring back messages from the I.R.B.[3]
Early Life – Clan-na-Gael 1871–1885[edit]
John Kenny was born in 1847 in Kilcock, County Kildare, to a family of wealthy farmers. After a successful stint in gold mining in Australia, he emigrated to New York in 1870, where he joined the Irish-American organisation Napper Tandy, the New York branch of the Clan-na-Gael. Kenny played a major role in the Catalpa rescue, the Clan-na-Gael's rescue of six Irish prisoners in 1873 from British prison in Fremantle, Western Australia.[4] The rescue is credited with having breathed new life into the Irish organisations in America, which at the time were in disarray following several failed ventures. As president of the Clan-na-Gael in 1882, Kenny swore in 23-year-old new-comer Thomas B. Clarke, who was elected the organizational secretary. Thus began their lifelong friendship, lasting 34 years until Clarke's execution as a leader of the Easter Rising. In 1883 Kenny passed along Clarke's offer to volunteer for the Clan-na-Gaels' bombing campaign in London. Clarke's offer was accepted. The campaign, devised by Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, failed and Clarke ended up serving fifteen and a half years in British prisons.[5]
Land League, County Kildare 1885–1890[edit]
In keeping with the New Departure, Kenny returned to Ireland in 1885 to play an active role in the Irish National Land League, giving up a lucrative business and relocating his family to Kilcock, County Kildare. Discouraged by the course of events in Ireland, Kenny moved his family back to New York in 1890.[6] In 1898 Clarke also returned to New York, on his release from prison, and worked at the Gaelic American newspaper with editor John Devoy. Kenny returned to Ireland, where he continued his work in the Land League. He travelled frequently between Ireland and New York, serving as a liaison between the Irish Republican Brotherhood in Ireland (or, as it was referred to in New York, the "Home Office") and the Clan-na-Gael in America,[7] before returning to New York for good. In 1907, Thomas Clarke returned to Dublin to rally support for a rebellion.
Return to New York 1890[edit]
In 1914 Kenny, living in New York, was again the president of the Clan-na-Gael. He was also the vice-president of the I.R.B. Veterans, a member of the Irish Volunteers Committee (the provisional committee formed to arm the Irish Volunteers Irish National Volunteers in Ireland), a founder of the Land League (and in 1916 of the Friends of Irish Freedom), and an active supporter of Padraic Pearse's St. Enda's School and the women's organisation the Cumann na mBan. He also served as the Business Manager of the Gaelic American newspaper.
Mission to Germany to request guns and military assistance[edit]
At the declaration of war between England and Germany on 14 August 1914, Sir Roger Casement and John Devoy arranged a meeting in New York between the Western Hemisphere's top-ranking German diplomat, Count von Bernstorff, http://www.firstworldwar.com/bio/bernstorff.htm and a delegation of Clan-na-Gael men. The Clan delegates proposed a mutually beneficial plan: if Germany would sell guns to the Irish rebels and provide military leaders, the rebels would stage a revolt against England, diverting troops and attention from the war with Germany. Von Bernstorff listened with evident sympathy and promised to relay the proposal to Berlin. Devoy decided to communicate directly with Berlin himself . At the time, England held control of the seas and furthermore, within days of the start of the war, had cut the transatlantic cable. It would be necessary to send an envoy to deliver the message personally.[8]
John Kenny, a trusted long-time member and leader of many Irish organisations, erudite and educated, a published author, was chosen. As an American citizen who had often travelled between New York and Ireland ostensibly for business reasons, he would attract less attention from British spies yet could be trusted to use his own discretion in presenting the proposal in the best possible light.
Kenny left for Italy on 21 August 1914. At first he was denied entry by the Italian government but eventually was allowed to land, on the condition that he proceed immediately to the Swiss border. Instead, he headed to the Germany Embassy in Rome, where to his surprise he was granted an immediate and lengthy interview with von Flutow, the German ambassador to Italy. Kenny handed the ambassador the proposal written by Devoy (and Casement). Von Flutow was particularly concerned with the fact that the leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party, John Redmond, had promised the loyalty of the Irish Volunteers to England. He also showed great interest in Casement's scheme, the recruitment of Irish prisoners of war into the German army, questioning Kenny about the class of Irish soldiers, their reasons for joining the British army, and the strength of their loyalty. However, as the discussion continued, von Flutow suddenly said that he could see serious complications arising from this plan, in running afoul of international law. Yet he assured Kenny that this plan and all of the other points Kenny had presented would be forwarded immediately to the top leaders.
Before Kenny left the Embassy, von Flutow gave him an Imperial Pass allowing him to travel throughout Germany, to facilitate his meeting with the Kaiser.
At Casement's urging, Kenny attempted to get an interview with the pope, who was known to be sympathetic to the cause; however the pope declined, citing the need to maintain an appearance of strict neutrality. Kenny spent the next ten days zigzagging across a Europe disrupted by huge movements of troops, in an effort to meet up with the Kaiser. His progress was impeded by the vast movements of troops and by the expansion of the war. Using the Imperial Pass given to him by von Flutow, he was able to board troop trains. When necessary he travelled on foot, slept outside, and foraged. Although he came close, he never quite caught up with the Kaiser. He did, however, meet up with Prince von Beulow, a German diplomat who had formerly served as chancellor. Again Kenny laid out the Clan's proposal. Von Beulow advised if he could wait a little longer, his chance of meeting with the Kaiser would improve. However Kenny, deciding that he had fulfilled his mission to relay the message to the German government, made plans to return to America. But by now he could no longer retrace his steps, his retreat having been cut off by the progress of the war. He headed to Rotterdam where he missed the last ship for New York by several hours, and decided to travel back to New York via Ireland.
He travelled uneventfully although anxiously through England, and arrived in Dublin. He met immediately with Tom Clarke who assured him that, contrary to what Kenny believed, Kenny was being followed by British intelligence. Clarke gave Kenny an oral report to give to Devoy: the hardliners had control of the Irish Volunteer Committee and would strongly protest John Redmond's attempted control of the Volunteers. Clarke felt that the threat of conscription into the British Army would alienate Redmond's followers, who would ultimately abandon him. Clarke urged Kenny to pass on his sentiments when he saw Padraig Pearse the next day at St. Enda's School, and asked him to get Padraic Pearse's views on the manifesto. Kenny reported back to Clarke that Pearse was in complete accord. Clarke passed the same enquiry on to Eoin MacNeill, head of the Irish Volunteers, and James Connolly, head of the Citizens Army, that night. Kenny reported all opinions back to Devoy in New York.
Mission to Ireland – Money for Guns[edit]
On his return to New York, Kenny immediately met with Sir Roger Casement and John Devoy, both of whom were pleased with the way the trip had gone. He also met with Joseph McGarrity of Philadelphia and John McGarry of Chicago who debriefed him on the trip. In November, Kenny was again asked to take a trip – this time to deliver money and the promise of support to Ireland and to bring back reports on conditions in Ireland and messages from the "Home Office". Leaving New York on 14 November 1914, Kenny successfully passed through several British checkpoints, arriving safely in Dublin on 28 November. According to plan, he telegraphed "Arrived well " to indicate his safe arrival ("arrived" would indicate that he had been held up by the British and it would be necessary to hand off the money to another courier)[9].
He delivered £3000 to The O'Rahilly at the Irish Volunteers Headquarters, 41 Kildare Street, in Dublin. Owen MacNeill handed him a receipt for the money, as well as receipts for money sent over previously – receipts were not sent through the mail where they could be intercepted and used to follow the money trail. It was decided that all future contributions from American should be sent to Owen MacNeill at the Irish Volunteers, whether for the Irish Volunteers or the Irish Republican Brotherhood (I.R.B.), since all contributions to the I.R.B. were liable to confiscation.
Over the next few weeks, Kenny met many times, both socially and at organizational meetings, with Tom Clarke, Padraig Pearse, The O'Rahilly, Thomas MacDonagh, Joseph Mary Plunkett, Diarmuid Lynch, Bulmer Hobson. The "Home Office" were depending on the Clan in New York for guns, ammunition, funds, and military help for the planned rebellion. The recent landing of 1700 rifles in Howth had resulted in the British cutting all shipments and manufacturing of arms in Ireland. Plans were discussed to smuggle guns through the Blaskets or Achill Island. It was decided that all future shipments of guns should either use the English service cartridges or come with an ample supply of ammunition. Men who could handle explosives were badly needed, as were trained military officers. Plans were made for MacDonagh to contact ex-US Army veterans then living in Ireland, using a list Kenny had given him. Britain had suppressed the publication of newspapers Sinn Féin, Irish Freedom, Ireland, and the Irish Worker, and had banned the Gaelic American. The remaining newspapers were heavily fined for printing uncensored news. Codes could not be sent through the mail, and all telegrams were paraphrased to disguise their messages. Any communication between Ireland and America had to be done by messenger, from memory (nothing could be written down), with only unknown messengers being used and then, only one time.
At the time, the leadership in Dublin believed that conscription was imminent, and would be preceded by arrests of the IRB and Irish Volunteers leadership. They later learned that the British feared that this course would meet with violent opposition, exposing the myth of Irish solidarity with Britain during the war. However, Clarke and McDermott, fearing wholesale arrests of the leadership, sent the names of a second and third line of command to the Clan in New York. Fearful that Kenny would be searched, they decided instead to send it via Father Liam O'Donnell, who left for America several days before Kenny. Kenny memorised a list of trusted contacts in London that the Clan could use.
Kenny arrived back in New York, via Liverpool, on 19 December 1914. With the exception of Eoin MacNeil, the lives of virtually everyone Kenny met in Dublin during his second Clan-na-Gael mission would be forfeit in the April 1916 Easter Rising and its train of executions. He eulogised the men and women he met in Dublin on his second mission: "They were the stuff of which is made the heroes and martyrs whose statues adorn our public squares and whose names are canonized in our churches. Yet they were condemned as little less than criminals by some who now profess that their greatest desire is to emulate them. They were derided as visionaries, yet Ireland is well on the way towards which they would have led." [10]
Kenny documented his missions in a series of articles in the Gaelic American newspaper.
The Price of Patriotism[edit]
John Kenny lived out the rest of his life in New York City. He served as business manager of the Gaelic American until around 1921. He continued to remain active in political affairs, and to publish his work in the Gaelic American. He died at the age of 77 on 27 December 1924, in St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan. His passing was mourned by the many Irish organisations in the city, and a special Mass was sponsored by the Cumman na mBan, which wrote of him: "The organization feels that in the death of John Kenny they have lost one of their most valued friends, and one of the sincerest, noblest, and most intelligent friends of Ireland who was ever ready to assist wholeheartedly and unselfishly ... a soul that never valued the material things of this world."

Why not change the way taxes are spent so that those of us without children don't have to pay for them. How about THAT! My number one priority couldn't be farther from children. Reduce crime, raise property values, bring in new business, etc... Why should I have to pay to educate other people's kids? Tell me that!

Need a game to play this weekend? Thanks to the valiant efforts of some serious fans of the original Half-Life, you have one: Black Mesa. As mentioned in a post we made a couple of weeks ago, Black Mesa is a complete recreation of the game that made Valve famous, using a recent version of the Source engine. You can expect much-improved visuals and audio, more realistic physics and some tweaks that the developers felt were necessary to improve the game.
At the moment, the game is only complete up to the Xen level, but the developers have said there's at least 8 or 10 gameplay hours in the current inception. The download weighs in at 3.29GB and can be downloaded by a variety of hosts or via BitTorrent. Also free as a download is the game's soundtrack, although there's an option to support the composer if you should choose to (oddly, there's no donate option for the dev team itself).
As we discovered earlier this week, Black Mesa has seen success through Steam's Greenlight program, so it will be hitting the game service soon. Just how soon, we're not sure, so if you're dying to play it, you might as well download it via the normal method right now.
If you do give the game a go, please relay your thoughts in the comment thread!

The Ravens Need Cornerback Help

Jeremy Zuttah, Patching a Leaky Line
Many in the Baltimore media chronicled Gino Gradkowski's struggles throughout the 2013 campaign. Although Gradkowski improved when the calendar turned December, he only graduated to a below-average starting center. In response, the Ravens turned to former Buccaneer Jeremy Zuttah to … Continue reading
First Round O-Line: Taylor Lewan, Zack Martin
Let's face it. The offensive line was a disappointment to most Ravens fans in 2013. With Michael Oher leaving for Tennessee and Osemele (hopefully) moving to his natural guard position, the Ravens may now address offensive tackle in the draft. … Continue reading

Next Man Up: Ricky Wagner
The Ravens had their struggles on the offensive line in 2013. What was a mainstay for the 2012 Super Bowl run suddenly declined into little more than a series of holes and mishaps. With Michael Oher rumored to have played … Continue reading
Gary Kubiak: A Schematic Shift

App Store adds new Catalogs top level category
Apple has added a new Catalogs category to the App Store. The news comes via the CEO of Catalog Spree (free), Joaquin Ruiz.
The category was showing no entries as of Tuesday night (see screenshot above), so I'd expect to see all of the catalog apps that are sprinkled throughout the App Store moved into this new category on Wednesday. Ruiz had a few comments to make about the appearance of the new category:
The impact of the iPad in the shopping and publication industries has been massive. Many thousands of apps have been added over the last 2 years to address the consumers need to interact with their favorite books, magazines and brands within an iPad optimized experience. Catalog Spree has been the leader in the catalog shopping app space since first launched in late April 2011. Until today (the day before the "iPad 3" launch), Catalog Spree and dozens of other shopping entertainment apps have been categorized in the "Lifestyle" category in the Apple App Store. Today, Apple has added a new top level category called "Catalogs" to the App Store. As of yet, there are no listed apps in that category but we expect that to change tomorrow after Apple's "iPad 3" announcement. Adding an app category is not something that Apple does lightly and we believe Apple's decision reflects the importance of this use case in the Apple App Store ecosystem.
It will be interesting to see if Apple highlights the new category during the demos later today. Be sure to join our liveblog beginning at 9:45 AM PT (12:45 PM ET) today.

Mark Cuban dishes on some of his tech and media investments in an exclusive interview at the Code/Media conference.
Dick Costolo wants Twitter to change the world, but is a twitter account really worth it for companies, and individuals?
An angel investor reveals inside information about Twitter's 2015 plans.
Twitter announced its fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday, surpassing analyst expectations on the top and the bottom.
Google and Twitter are close to announcing a deal for Google to include Twitter's firehose of tweets in Google search results.
Twitter investors have retreated in the past year, sending the stock down 39 percent, even after a rally to kick off 2015.
Twitter is now bringing "Promoted Tweets" to other feeds, including Flipboard and Yahoo.
Jim Cramer is gearing up for earnings next week, especially the oil companies.
The social networking site launched new features allowing users to make video, and send private group messages.
Twitter is taking its pitch to developers—and attempting to reinvent itself—on the road, with Twitter Flock.
Twitter's somewhat embattled CEO Dick Costolo sold 140,352 shares of the company's stock in early January, according to an SEC filing.
The growth of streaming services has put "fear in the eyes" of traditional media companies, Yahoo former interim CEO Ross Levinsohn said.
Jim Cramer's New Year's resolution is to be kinder to Dick Costolo, so long as he can monetize Twitter.
The Twitter executive is not in the same class as Mark Zuckerberg and Google's Larry Page and does not understand product development, Bill George said.
Embattled Twitter CEO Dick Costolo will step down next year, SunTrust's Bob Peck said.
Two Costolo Living family trusts no longer own any Twitter stock after they sold their remaining shares this month.
Money managers are looking for a reason to buy right now, and Jim Cramer is here to help. He goes sector by sector to offer his pick of hot stocks.
CEO Dick Costolo provided a clear picture of his vision for Twitter, and the company's stock soared following his presentation.
Here some key issues that will be in focus in Twitter's presentations to investors Wednesday.
A year ago Twitter was praised for its smooth IPO. What a difference a year makes.
It's been a year since Twitter became a public company, closing 73 percent above its initial offering price on Nov. 7, 2013.

chocolate mint candy bar

I am an American who worked in Mississauga ten years ago. I frequently bought a chocolate mint candy bar from a convenience store near my worksplace. I am trying to remember the candy name. I think it had the word "Royal" in the name. Can anyone help?
I might be really wrong about this but I think the chocolate bar you're talking about (green package?) may have been a mint royale, which was rebranded as the After Eight chocolate bar. At first when the change happened the bar tasted the same but I haven't had an After Eight bar in a few years now so I'm not sure if it's the same or not.
Also: if you're looking for something similar I've found the Laura Secord french mint bar hits the spot... not sure if you can get those where you are.
re: Manybears
This is great, all you fellow chocolate mint lovers. I do miss the royal..I am currently eating the after eight bars_ its just not quite the same!

American Marine Pinpoint Calcium Monitor Information
American Marine is proud to introduce the PINPOINT™ Calcium Monitor. The only truly affordable and accurate digital Calcium measurement instrument. Powered by a 9-volt battery (not included). PINPOINT™ Calcium Monitor will operate for approximately 150 continuous hours before battery replacement is indicated on the display.
The Calcium Monitor unit is NOT waterproof and must be operated on a dry surface. Liquid contact on the printed circuit board will cause corrosion and void warranty.
Probe Set-up:
Remove the storage bottle that protects the probe tip by unscrewing the bottle from the bottle cap. Save the storage bottle for use when storing the probe. Always store the probe in 100 ppm Ca+ fluid.
On the top of the Calcium Probe slide the black collar (Fig A) down to expose the electrolyte fill hole. (Fig B)
The reference fluid bottle has a special filling cap that will fit into the electrolyte fill hole. While holding the probe vertically, add additional probe electrolyte fluid to a level approximately 1/2 inch below the black cap. Do not close the collar.
The fill hole should remain open during calibration and sample measurement.
Condition the new probe by putting the tip (bottom 1 inch of the probe) into a container of 100 ppm Ca+ fluid for an hour.
Be careful not to damage the flat PVC membrane on the probe tip.
Meter Set-up:
Pour the 100 ppm Ca+ calibration fluid into a clean cup.
Pour the 1,000 ppm Ca+ calibration fluid into a 2nd clean cup.
Install a new 9-volt battery or the PINPOINT AC Adapter to the battery compartment wires on the back of the meter. (Fig C)
Attach the BNC connector from the probe cable to the front of the meter. Lock it into place with a 1/4 turn to the right.
Calibration and Measurement:
Activate meter on by pressing the ON/OFF/CAL button for 1 second.
Now press the ON/OFF/CAL button continuously for 3-4 seconds until "CAL" appears on the display.
The number 100 should appear on the display. If not; then press the Range button to change the calibration value to 100.
Put the probe tip into the 100 ppm Ca+ Calibration Fluid. Wait until the number 100 begins to flash on the display on a regular basis (4-5 steady flashes is adequate). This may take a minute or two. Then press the Enter button to register the 100 ppm Ca+ calibration. The LCD should display the word "good."
Rinse the probe tip briefly in fresh water.
Press the Range button until 1000 is displayed.
Put the probe tip into the 1000 ppm Ca+ Calibration Fluid. Wait until the number 1000 begins to flash on the display on a regular basis (4-5 steady flashes is adequate). This may take a minute or two. Then press the Enter button to register the 1000 ppm Ca+ calibration. The LCD should display the word "good."
Now press the ON/OFF/CAL button to read Calcium ppm.
Test your sample. Take a small cup of water from your system and insert the probe to take a precision measurement. Allow enough time for reading to settle down.
Set up a Monitoring Station:
Set out 2 small cups (shot glasses work well) with calibration fluid in each. For maximum probe life keep the probe tip stored in 100 ppm Ca+ fluid. This will keep the tip wet and also verify the calibration. Take a sample from your system and fill a 3rd shot glass. Put the probe in the tank sample to display Ca+ levels when the reading stabilizes.
Important Points to Remember:
The measuring range of the PINPOINT Calcium Monitor® 000.0 through 9,772.0 ppm. Measurements above this range will be indicated on the LCD as "Hi"
PINPOINT Calcium Monitor is NOT waterproof and must be operated on a dry surface. Liquid contact with any of the printed circuit boards will cause corrosion and void the warranty.
Calibration will remain intact from the previous calibration if the power switch is turned off.
Electrolyte Fill Solution for the probe is a mixture of 1M KCL (Potassium Chloride) in deionized water without any preservative and is totally safe for livestock if mixed with system water.
The level of electrolyte fluid will slowly deplete over time. Add fluid when this level falls to the line inscribed around the probe 2 _ inches from the tip.
Frequent calibration is recommended. Fresh calibration fluids should be used when old fluid becomes contaminated.
If you observe an unusually high or low calcium ppm value, it is advisable to re-check the calibration.
To store the probe fill the plastic storage bottle 1/2 full of 100 ppm Ca+ Calibraton Fluid and place the probe back into the bottle. Close the Electrolyte fill hole during storage.
The Calcium PVC membrane tip is very delicate. Clean it only if necessary with a cotton swab.
Replace batteries in the PINPOINT Calcium Monitor when the LCD battery icon appears.
Is it recommended to replace the calcium probe tip every 18-24 months or when the probe can no longer be successfully calibrated.
Display Range: 000.0 - 9,772 ppm Ca+
Resolution: 000.2 ppm
Accuracy: +/- 2 % of the reading after calibration

Talk:The Gross Clinic
This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Someone may rather reword the article link I added to the bottom (Ray Carney) but I think the link is great for those who want to see both paintings side-by-side and commentary on them by some important art-history dude. Since the excerpt is supposedly from an amalgam of three seperate books, I did not list the book name as done in the other two "further readings." Also, NPR's Weekend America (I think it's that show) has a show on the story of the selling, broadcast the first weekend of December 2006 (for anyone who cares). (Gaviidae) 22.214.171.124 22:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Agnew clinic[edit]
The Gross Clinic is one of two well-known paintings by Eakins of a teaching surgeon at work, as opposed to 'one of two well-known paintings'. The revert was made because the entry is about the Gross Clinic, not the later painting. Editorially, I think it weakens the entry and diverts attention to bring in the other painting in the very first sentence. However, if there is not already such an article, one on the Agnew Clinic would be welcome. JNW 04:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Critical reception wording[edit]
I removed 'deconstruction' - Fried engages deconstruction in his work on GC, but the wording suggested that all the criticism described there was from this school of thought, but it isn't. Fried's points about catration anxiety and the painting are psychoanalytic, furthermore. Seems like splitting hairs, I know, but the wording was confusing. Maybe someone could write a sentence about the schools of thought which treat GC, who those critics are, and what the different approaches are about. (That would actually probably take a good paragraph?) Also, I took out a qualifier wich suggested that gender is unambigiously delineated in Eakins's work. See Henry Adams's work, as well as other recent scholarship on this topic for an overview of works in which women are painted to look like boys. Arcadia, for example, is famous for this - there's a woman in the painting, painted from behind, whom you'd never know was a woman if you didn't look closely. And, as a number of scholars have pointed out (and this is explained in the entry itself) the body under the knife in GC isn't clearly gendered (there is evidence Eakins witnessed this type of surgery - but that fact, which is external to the painting itself - is the only thing that tells us to see the body as male - the body's gender is hidden - something Eakins chose to do.) Hope that explains my edit.--Judyholliday 18:02, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
When adding material, it seems that some people cut out material they don't like- sometimes this makes sense, but with this page, it's been particularly the observation of the gender ambiguity of the patient that keeps getting cut. I put it back in, alongside the fact that Eakins witnessed a surgery of this sort performed on a young man, and that the patient is most often read as a young man. The point is that the gender issue is a subject of much discussion throughout reception of this painting - because the painting itself doesn't make it clear. Pointing out that the painting can be read as of a surgery on a young man needn't be at the expense of acknowledging the fact that the painting itself doesn't tell us this. The latter is not editing, but censorship, and cheats readers out of this really interesting aspect of the painting.Judyholliday 00:03, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Freshman Tony Wills hit two free throws with 5.9 seconds left as Illinois State held off a late Northwestern comeback to secure a 68-64 non-conference victory on Sunday night at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
Teammates Zach Lofton and Daishon Knight led a balanced attack with 15 points apiece while John Jones had 11, Reggie Lynch added 10 and Michael Middlebrooks collected 11 rebounds.The Redbirds (1-2) snapped a two-game losing streak and won for the third time in the five meetings with the Wildcats.Northwestern (1-2) rallied from a 19-point second half deficit and trailed 66-64 after JerShon Cobb's jumper with 8.2 seconds to play. But Wills locked down the win seconds later with his free throws.Cobb closed with 19 points, and Drew Crawford had 13 while Tre Demps added 12.The Redbirds overcame a sluggish start and took a lead for good in the game's ninth minute.Northwestern opened an early 8-3 lead while Illinois State hit just one of its first nine field goals. The Wildcats then missed seven straight shots while the Redbirds sprinted to an 15-8 lead by the 8:06 mark after back-to-back Knight layups, a Lynch dunk and another a fast break jam by Middlebrooks.The Redbirds later used a 9-0 run to open a 31-17 lead with 4:04 showing on the way to a 40-22 halftime edge. Lofton had 12 first-half points on 3-of-6 shooting from the arc. Northwestern missed all seven 3-point tries.The Wildcats opened the second half with six unanswered points, including a Dave Sobolewski 3-pointer that cut the deficit to 12.The Redbirds replied with seven straight points, including a Lofton 3-pointer for a 47-28 lead with 16:04 remaining.Another Northwestern surge cut the Illinois State lead to single digits at 53-44 when Sobolewski drove uncontested for a layup with 10 minutes left.The Wildcats trailed 63-56 with 2:28 to play, hit 4-of-6 free throws over the next two minutes and had two Cobb baskets.Northwestern, under first-year coach Chris Collins, has four starters back from a team that went 13-19 under former coach Bill Carmody. Second-year Redbirds coach Dan Muller opened the season with just two returnees, no seniors and nine players with no Division I experience.Chris Collins is the son of Redbirds legend Doug Collins, Illinois State's all-time leading scorer (2,240 points) who later went on to a lengthy NBA career as a player and coach.Both teams resume play Wednesday with Northwestern at Illinois-Chicago while Illinois State hosts Manhattan.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Teardown: iPad mini costs at least $188 to build
Research firm IHS reports that the iPad mini costs at least $188 to build, after its teardown of a Wi-Fi-only 16GB mini. Adding additional memory increases the cost only slightly while adding a fair amount of profit — an additional $90 in profit for the 32GB model, and $162 for the 64GB model. It's important to bear in mind that this teardown only includes cost of materials; manufacturing, labor, research and development, and any other expenses are unaccounted for in analyzing the actual profit of the tested device, which sells for $329. Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer notably mentioned during the company's fourth quarter conference call that iPad mini has higher costs, and said that the gross margin is significantly below Apple's corporate average, suggesting that manufacturing expenses are higher than usual.

Given that for non-Apple companies, the retail price for tech devices is 1.3X to 1.5X over BOM, it's clear the Apple could have released the 16GB for $249-$279, been competitive on pricing, and still been earning tech industry standard profit margins.
So, when you defenders of Apple's choices want to try and tell me how the iPad mini is worth its $329 starting price, just remember, you're paying an additional $50 for no other reason than to increase AAPL's returns. You, as the customer, are getting absolutely NOTHING for that $50 - it's purely a "tax" for choosing Apple over their many mini tablet competitors.
Posted by Code Monkey in Midstate New York on November 5, 2012 at 10:57 AM (CST)
I still believe the true "sweet spot" for iPad Mini pricing was $279-$299. That is where I expected (ok, hoped) the 16GB Wi-Fi model to hit the market. $329 raised my eyebrows.
With that said, I will still be looking at the iPad Mini for my daughters for Christmas. We are an Apple household with numerous MacBooks, numerous iPhones and a couple of iPad 2s. It is still not worth it to introduce a second platform into that ecosystem. The extra $50 is nothing compared to the apps and videos that I would have to repurchase, find replacements for, or simply write off on the odd mini tablets. Not to mention the ease of syncing all of these devices with iOS and OS X (it really is amazing how well they all interact together). And I feel that I am not alone in that. Though I would have liked to see Apple be aggressive in their pricing. They could have fired quite a shot across the bow of Amazon, Microsoft and Google. And still made money hand over fist…
As it stands, Apple will lose some business. Newcomers will look to the cheaper competitors that still offer very good, comparable devices. And those with a less extensive Apple/iTunes collection will consider those competitors as well. As well they should. Apple is no longer the clear cut "Best of Show" any longer. The lines have blurred, or altogether faded. Tim Cook and Co. need to step out of the Jobsian ideas that people will pay more for marginal build superiority.

Mitch, I think what you may be overstating is the importance of the Apple ecosystem for a *tablet*, which is what I see as Apple's biggest Achilles heel right now. So much of what typical people do on a tablet is platform agnostic.
32GB Nexus 7 Wi-Fi has GPS, better screen, better processor, does everything I've ever used our iPad for, and costs $180 less than Apple's option. That's kind of a no-brainer in my book. I'll probably keep dealing with Apple for "things that go in my pocket" because iTunes is still a pretty sweet piece of kit for media management, but Apple is pretty much dead to me for the tablet market.
Posted by Code Monkey in Midstate New York on November 5, 2012 at 12:44 PM (CST)
Code Monkey - My family uses tablets for a lot of entertainment, photo management/editing and some light "office" productivity at this point. But the fact is that I have roughly 80 movies in iTunes format. The current DRM will not allow those to be played outside the Apple ecosystem (not fully the fault of Apple, if at all). That alone would warrant my reluctance to move away. But add to that my photo editing apps (even though many were free or $.99) and the seamless syncing of my photos on all my Apple devices. Other platforms may have photo syncing capabilities, but I have yet to see one that does so in the same seamless manner as my iPad to MacBook to iPhone to Apple TV.
Then I have my "office" apps. Again, some cheap or free. But using Pages, Numbers and Keynote really excels when I can, again, seamlessly sync those documents with all of my devices without any effort whatsoever.
So I would respectfully disagree that I am overstating the importance of the Apple ecosystem for a tablet. If anything, I am understating how important the ecosystem (be that Apple, Google, Amazon) really is. Why should I introduce a tablet that operates outside of my given ecosystem? I am using the tablet for the same things I use my phone and laptop for. So it should be an extension of both of those, which my iPad is. It allows me to keep working when my laptop is not feasible (photo editing on a bleacher at a gymnastics meet). It provides my a larger screen when my phone is inadequate (movies especially). It just adds value when it truly feels like that extension I mentioned. And not an add on that requires a change in operations to use and integrate. To me, that is worth the $50-$100 difference in the long run. But if you do not benefit from all of this interoperability, then it is obviously not worth it to you. And that is fine. I am certainly not trying to recruit to the "Dark Side". I am simply over/understating that others value it a little differently. ;)

After our big celebration for Episode 100, we're back to normality, or at least as normal as the show gets. We talk about the Manny Machado call-up, some prospects that we are higher or lower than most on, and also just what to make of Austin Wood. Then we try to gauge Mike Trout's value (good luck) and talk about scouting little league games. Our special guest is a good friend of the show in Andy McCullough of the Newark Star-Ledger who talks about the future of the Mets, and then our listener of the week is the amazing Craig Robinson, better known to many of you as the Flip Flop Flyin' guy. From there it's the goofy stuff with a tribute to the late, great Juan Deli, and some talk about weird neighbors . . . and mattresses. As always, we hope you enjoy.
Note: We do alert you to the presence of the occasional adult language and subject matter. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Abstract: | Costa Rica leads Central America in the production of wind and geothermal energy and has been lauded for its progress in renewable power projects while others flounder. A new report prepared for the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), A Blueprint for Green Energy in the Americas 2009, faulted Latin America in general for governmental failure to provide the regulatory frameworks and supportive policies needed to field renewable projects, and for reluctance to take risks in the energy sectors because of the lack of development. Only Costa Rica stood out as an exception on the isthmus and, in the hemisphere, was joined by Chile and Brazil as standouts in the field. But now Costa Rica is running up against another of its trademark values, environmentalism, in its attempt to tap even more ecologically sound power. In January, Ormat Technologies, Inc. announced the signing of a contract with Banco Centroamericano de Integracion Economica (BCIE) "for the supply, supervision, installation, startup, and testing of Las Pailas Geothermal Plant, a new geothermal power plant that is to be constructed in Las Pailas Field, Costa Rica." The press release valued the project for the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE) at US$65 million and projected the time to completion at 18 months. There is little objection to what the government is doing to generate renewable power, but there is concern about where it is doing it. In November 2008, the legislature rejected a proposal to allow geothermal development in national parks. The same phenomena that produce power--hot water, live magma, volcanoes--also produce tourism and foreign exchange. These are not places suitable to industrial infrastructure with pipe-work jungles, pumps, turbines, and noise. |

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Infections prompt lockdowns
Kids' wards shut for first time since H1N1 in 2009
For the first time since the H1N1 outbreak in 2009, the city's two main hospitals are locking down children's units following a spike in respiratory infections.
On Friday, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) announced that only parents would be allowed to visit patients at Health Sciences Centre's Children's Hospital. St. Boniface General Hospital's neonatal intensive care unit has the same restriction in order to reduce the risk of more infants being exposed to respiratory infections.
The restrictions are also in place at the labour, delivery and postpartum units at St. B and HSC.
Some elective (non-emergency) pediatric surgeries have already been cancelled, and officials say some adult surgeries may also be postponed in the coming days due to outbreaks of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza.
Dr. Brock Wright, chief medical officer for the WRHA, said Friday a high number of respiratory illnesses has caused the system to deploy many more temporary beds than usual. The bed shortage has also caused patients with medical problems to be moved to surgical wards, opening the possibility surgeries will be cancelled. Meanwhile, hospital emergency departments have been inundated recently.
"Those are all indicators that the system is pretty stressed," Wright said.
At Children's Hospital, emergency room visits have soared to about 175 per day in recent weeks, compared with a normal 110 to 120 -- mainly due to an increase in kids suffering from respiratory illnesses. Earlier this week, officials said visits to the city's six ERs, excluding Children's, had surged to between 800 and close to 1,000 a day -- from an average 600 in October and November.
The vast majority of kids arriving at the ER at Children's in recent weeks have been sent home rather than being admitted to hospital, said Dr. Cheryl Rockman-Greenberg, medical director of the WRHA's child health program. Yet, she said increased admissions have forced Children's Hospital to cancel some elective surgeries this week because of a shortage of post-operative beds.
RSV is the leading cause of bronchiolitis in children under two years of age. In babies less than 12 months old, the virus can be very serious. It is contagious and can be spread easily.
The intermediate care nursery at HSC is currently experiencing a respiratory outbreak, with one confirmed case of influenza A, officials said Friday. Right now, eight babies are showing such symptoms as coughing and runny noses. There are 21 kids in the unit all told.
In order to reduce the risk of other infants being exposed to that virus, the HSC closed the ward to further admissions and opened a temporary 14-bed unit Friday in another section of the hospital.
"The children who are there have already been exposed so they will remain in the nursery until they are discharged," said Rockman-Greenberg, adding all the babies are stable.
Five pediatric patients are also currently in isolation in Children's Hospital after potentially being exposed to chicken pox from a visitor who had not yet been diagnosed. Infection prevent and control practices mandate that these children, who, though suffering from other illnesses and conditions, have not developed any sign of infection, remain separate from other patients for approximately two weeks.
Meanwhile, the WRHA has informed hospital authorities in northwestern Ontario of the situation in Winnipeg and has encouraged them, if possible, to send babies who need extra care to facilities in eastern Ontario.
