The majority of the world's rum production occurs in and around the Carribean and in several Central American and South American countries, such as the Domincan Republic, Guatemala, Colombia, Venezuela, Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Haiti, Belize, Guyana and Cuba. There are also rum producers in places such as Australia, Fiji, Mexico, the Philippines, India, Reunion Island, Mauritius and elsewhere around the world. Rum plays a part in the culture of most islands of the West Indies, and has famous associations with the Royal Navy (where it was mixed with water or beer to make grog) and Piracy (where it was consumed as Bumboo). Rum has also served as a popular medium of exchange that helped to provide economic instigation for Australia's Rum Rebellion and the American Revolution.

Whiskey has been produced in Scotland for hundreds of years. The Gaelic "usquebaugh," meaning "Water of Life," phonetically became "usky" and then "whisky" in English. According to the Scotch Whisky Association, no one knows exactly when the art of distilling was first practiced in Scotland; it is known that the Ancient Celts practiced distilling, and that the liquid they produced -- known in ancient Gaelic as Uisge Beatha ("water of life") -- evolved into Scotch Whisky. By the 11th century, distillation first occurred in Scotland in the early Christian monastic sites. The first taxes on whisky production were imposed in 1644, causing a rise in illicit whisky distilling in the country. Around 1780, there were about 8 legal distilleries and 400 illegal ones. In 1823, Parliament eased the restrictions on all licensed distilleries with the "Excise Act," but making it harder for the illegal stills to operate, thereby ushering in the modern era of Scotch production.

There are several distinct styles of gin, with the most common style today being London dry gin, a type of distilled gin. In addition to the predominant juniper content, London dry gin is usually distilled n the presence of accenting citrus botanicals such as lemon and bitter orange peel, as well as a subtle combination of other spices including anise, angelica root and seed, orris root, licorice root, cinnamon, cubeb, savory, lime peel and grapefruit peel, dragon eye, saffron, baobab, frankincense, coriander, nutmeg and cassia bark. London dry gin may not contain added sugar or colorants, water being the only permitted additive.

Tequila was first produced in the 16th century near the location of the city of Tequila, which was not officially established until 1656. The Aztec people had previously made a fermented beverage from the agave plant, which they called octli (later, and more popularly called pulque), long before the Spanish arrived in 1521. When the Spanish conquistadors ran out of their own brandy, they began to distill agave to produce North America's first indigenous distilled spirit.

Cognac, named after the town of Cognac in France, is a famous variety of brandy. It is produced in the wine-growing region surrounding the town from which it takes its name, in the French Departments of Charente and Charente-Maritime. Armagnac is a distinctive kind of brandy, or eau de vie, produced in the Armagnac region in Gascony, southwest France. Armagnac was one of the first areas in France to begin distilling sprits, but the brandies produced have a lower profile than those from Cognac, and the overall volume of production is far smaller.

Most cordials were of European origin, first produced in local Italian apothecaries during the Renaissance, where the art of distilling was refined during the 15th and 16th centuries. It is from this origin that cordials are frequently referred to in French as Liqueurs d' Italie; it is also from this that we have "liqueurs." From the Renaissance onward, cordials were usually alcohols in which certain herbs, spices or other ingredients were allowed to steep. The first cordials arrived in England in the late 15th century and were called distilled cordial waters. These were strictly used as alcoholic medicines, prescribed in small doses to invigorate and revitalize the heart, body and spirit as well as cure diseases. By the beginning of the 18th century, cordials were imbibed for their intoxicating effects and medicinal virtues, fast becoming recreational drinks, eventually evolving into liqueurs.

Yummo – I love the great taste of their butter pecan. I really like going to the one in Brighton place. The people are so nice. I have even heard that Oprah gets the black raspberry chip sent to her!!!! I recommend it to anyone.
Homegrown ice cream franchise offers familiar flavors and new favorites since 1870. – In Short
While this beloved chain makes candy and cakes, customers usually come to the shop for the fresh, ultrarich ice cream, which ranges from traditional flavors to the more unique black raspberry chip and Buckeye Blitz. Trademark chocolate chip ice cream is made by pouring melted chocolate into ice cream batches, so there are large, irregularly shaped chunks of rich chocolate rather than chips. Fruit sorbet is also available.
Best Ice Cream in LEX – For years Graeter's has been known as one of the best ice cream joints around. You can watch them make the ice cream - and you can't beat the rich, fresh tastes.

My Mom has an older sister, Jane, who was married to Hubert, our Uncle Hubert Metzger. My mom was the youngest of five, and Aunt Jane and Hubert had 9 (? Mom need your help to get my facts straight!) children. They had a farm in Ohio between Columbus and Cleveland in a town called Shelby, where they all grew up. Note: look at the Shelby, OH website!!!: http://www.shelbyohio.org/
Aunt Jane and Uncle Hubert have lived in Shelby and its vicinity as long as I can remember. They had a house that kept all those kids and their festivities in check. They had a farm, and a big (at least big to a kid) lake on their land. I had never known anyone who had their own lake before. I didn't like swimming in it because I was always afraid of the seaweed that would touch my legs when I couldn't see it.Uncle Hubert was such a great uncle. We were kids mostly when we'd go visit and he always welcomed everyone with a huge, booming voice. I was "Kristopher Kolumbus" (since I was Kristen from Columbus). So we'd get to the door and he'd bellow out "Hey it's the Kuhns's" and "Welcome Kristopher Kolumbus!" He wasn't a touchy feely kind of guy but never did anyone step foot to that house who was not made to feel welcome. Uncle Hubert was tall, very thin, and had a voice that go for miles. He would wear brown pants and short sleeved golfing type shirts tucked in with a belt. Always very neat. He used to take us out to the back and let us get up on the huge farm tractor. He was the one who would call all the kids in when it was dinner time, or warn us to stay away from the boats or get away from the lake at night. I can remember his voice often calling through the night air for us to come in, be careful, watch out....
He had a big old, maybe gold? plaid? chair that sat by the window where he'd relax in the evening and where he could see anyone who came up to the door. I remember always thinking it was weird that their front door was on the side, but realized later they just never used the front door - everyone came in the side and that was the one with the brick porch (room for us kids to take off our muddy/snowy shoes and clothes) and faced the peaceful view of the lake.
Uncle Hubert died from a heart attack, from what I was told when he was driving. That image of my imagination has always haunted me. I just can't imagine that someone who so filled a room was actually quieted. Aunt Jane I saw recently at my sister's wedding. Besides being a little bit shorter :) she looked spunky and as fit as she ever had managing that huge household of people (can you even imagine a house full of teenagers)?I used to go along their stairs and look at the high school head shots taken by all the children. Studying them grow up via pictures. The feathered long hair and tight striped clothing favored by the 70's was my overlasting impression.

Did some searching on here and couldn't find the answer so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I have an 8GB iPhone 3G at 3.1.2 and baseband 05.11.07. The phone was jailbroken with PwnageTool 3.1.4 and then unlocked with ultrasn0w 0.93.
After running the jailbreak, I couldn't get any service (I have an AT&T phone so I assumed it would) so I ran ultrasnow and my voice service came on just fine. The problem is that the data connection doesn't and I can't figure out why not. I've seen people with Tmobile unlock the phone and use their data plan so I think there must be something I'm missing.
I have an AT&T voice plan and have a 3G data plan but I *don't* have one of the special ones you have to pay 30 bucks a month for (the 3G phone I got didn't require you to get the smartphone specific bullshit plan). I know the 3G works because when I stick the sim into an HTC Touch Pro 2, I get the 3G no problem.
Can someone give me some advice on how to work around this? Thanks!
FOLLOW UP QUESTION: Would it be better if I did the unlocking with blacksn0w?

Anniston police Capt. Allen George said a 41-year-old woman told police she and her 47-year-old boyfriend had an argument Tuesday around 7 p.m. The incident occurred at the victim's home on the 3900 block of Old Birmingham Highway, according to a police report.
George said that during the argument, the man put his hands around the victim's neck and choked her. The woman pushed the suspect away, George said, and ran outside to call police.
The suspect fled before police arrived, George said. The woman refused medical treatment, but told officers she wanted to pursue charges.
George said police were investigating the incident today.
Any suspect could be charged with domestic violence by strangulation, a felony.

Awesome Traditional Mexican – Great food. Great service. Been coming here since I was a kid.
Excellent food. Worth the trip. – I've been dining here for 35 years and have had only one "questionable" experience. It was probably 25 years ago & we had a big party. (more than 10 people) The tip was automatically added to the bill (15%) without anyone informing us this would happen. We would have tipped alot more but figured since we were forced into what is normally an elective decision we left without leaving a tip at all. Just what was added to the bill. The food is FABULOUS! Always has been. The service is great. It's a little noisy at times but the experience is worth it. We've had to wait for a table at times but that just tells me the food there is worth it. If it wasn't any good, people would not keep going back! Be sure to try the Margaritas. The Golden Margarita is OUTSTANDING & well worth the price. Always had friendly service & ample parking.
DONT GO WITH KIDS – I have always loved Mexican Village since I was a child... Until recently were told by the Hostess Lucella that my 3 year old son was being too disruptive(if you call dropping a spoon accidentally... disruptive). She then suggested that we take our son and leave. I have never been so publicly embarrassed. So i left with out paying and only had eaten 1/4 of my meal. I WILL NEVER GO BACK
Worst experience ever - I felt discriminated against – I have frequented Mexican Village since I was a child but tonight, at 5pm, we were told by the Hostess Lucella that our 18 month old daughter got too much food on the floor - I explained that we always tip at least 50% and give the bus boy $20 on each visit - she said she didn't care. I further explained that I also have had parties for over 100 people at their restaurant - to no avail. She then suggested that we take our child and leave - So we did. I felt discriminated against and will never return and would recommend all to abandon this restaurant for others - I was very disappointed
The food was great and very fresh. A friendly atmosphere with generous portions and very cheap. It's the best mexican restaurant ever.
Best So far – In the past summer I have gone to three Mexican Restaurants on Bagley for lunch. I have ordered the exact
lunch from all three. In my opinion, the Village beats X's and Town hands down. The ingredients of the
meal seemed more fresh and much tastier. Very eager waitstaff that delivered our meal fast and hot.
All around friendly staff and very comfortable surroundings.
I have a few more restaurants to try, but the Village is the best so far.
Best Mexican EVER! – I can't even begin to describe how much I love this place. Every time my sister comes in from town from college we go, birthdays we go, weekends when we just want some food we go. I have only been there once later on the weekend were we had to wait to be seated. Salsa is amazing and you seriously could drink it. My favorite menu item is the Chicken Chimi and if you try it, ask to have cheese melted on top, it makes it even better. You can get some salsa and chips to take home, however if you don't eat the chips warm they just don't taste as good so I would just get some chips from the store. On birthdays they'll sing and give you a free fried ice-cream. There's also one in Utica that's the same restaurant but you have to go the Detroit one once.
Editorial Review – Detroit's first Mexican restaurant sports Spanish mission-style decor and a massive menu of specialties from south of the border.
Best Mexican in Mexicantown! – Love the food here. My husband and I both agree that it beats all of the other restaurants in Mexicantown. We both like that the food isn't heavy and covered in oil, like so many of the other restaurants in the area. The combination (made all chicken) is great, and with a few ala carte items is more than enough to share. It's a bit off the beaten path, but well worth it. Lighted parking with attendant (free for customers). Great prices as well.
AWESOME – I grew up in Michigan and have beeng oing to the Mexican Village since I was a kid 40 years ago. I have since moved to Florida and still can't wait to get back to Detroit to see the Tigers play and go to the Mexican Village. Love their chicken tacos and guidsado (?) de res. I highly recommend it!

Evans Math Award
Nashua High School South teacher takes the prize
The award, given out by the New Hampshire Teachers of Mathematics, recognizes one math teacher a year for their passion and knowledge of the subject.
"It means a lot to me. Especially to be recognized by your peers is always a nice thing, in this profession there can be a lot of negativity, for someone to even think to nominate me was in itself an honor," Gingras said.
"I've gotten to get to know Lisa. She is a truly gifted teacher; she connects with her students and understands he subject," District Superintendent Mark Conrad said.
South Principal Keith Richard said the school has come to rely on Gingras, as she is not only a great teacher, but also great with data.
"She is fantastic, a true asset to our faculty. She not only does an excellent job in the math department, but she is also a true leader in the building. She is always willing to help out and go the extra mile. She takes ownership of her classes and wants to see students succeed," Richard said.
Passion about mathematics comes naturally to her, Gingras said, because, "statistics is relevant to students lives, no matter what they do they will use it later in life. I love to see student's 'ah ha' moments, as a teacher that is what you live for."
Conrad said that being recognized for her work is nothing new for Gingras, as she was also given a No Bell award by the Honor Society at South three years ago.
Conrad said the No Bell award is given by honor students to the teacher they deem most worthy, and that it alternates between the North and South high schools each year.
Gingras was a finalist last year for the Richard C. Evans award.

UF's Powell Out 4-6 Months With Torn ACL
April 9th, 2012 12:45 PM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Florida
Tags: ACL, Ronald Powell
Bad news from Gainesville today where it's been confirmed that starting linebacker Ronald Powell will be out for four to six months with a torn ACL. Powell — a junior — injured his knee during the Gators' spring game on Saturday.
He will not undergo surgery until swelling around the knee goes down. If the injury and surgery require six months of recovery, Powell could miss the early portion of Florida's season. His backup at the "buck" linebacker position is Lerentee McCray, but McCray was held out of spring practice with a shoulder injury.

Four challenges Facebook will face after the IPO
- 16 May, 2012 07:07
When Facebook goes public, it will enter a new world full of shareholder meetings, earnings reports, and the constant pressure to turn an increasingly bigger profit. But the Facebook IPO isn't just about making money; it's also about expanding the network, in pursuit of Mark Zuckerberg's vision of a more connected world. With that in mind, here are four challenges Facebook will face after its public offering is complete:
Regain User Trust
Although Facebook's numerous privacy transgressions haven't stunted its growth, they appear to be taking their toll on users' attitudes toward the service. A recent AP-CNBC survey of Facebook users found that 59 percent don't trust the social network to keep their information private, and 54 percent wouldn't feel safe purchasing goods and services through Facebook. That could be a problem as Facebook tries to push social networking into more aspects of our lives.
To earn trust back, Facebook needs to be more transparent about what happens to user data, especially with third-party apps and Websites. Too often, users share information by accident, because Facebook relegates important details to the fine print. This only cements Facebook's reputation as a company that doesn't care enough about privacy.
More Mobile Dominance
Facebook is already one of the most popular phone apps, reaching 80 percent of U.S. smartphone subscribers over the age of 18, according to Comscore. But the social network could be much bigger than it already is, if only it could bring its own app ecosystem to phones and tablets. So far, rumors of a Facebook phone haven't come to fruition, nor has the chatter about a browser-based mobile platform for Facebook apps. That doesn't mean Facebook can sit on the sidelines forever. Eventually the company may try to become a major mobile player, with direct control over Facebook-connected apps and services.
Fix Frictionless Sharing
By allowing users to share links and other details about their lives with zero effort, Facebook has also created chaos. Facebook's so-called "frictionless sharing," which lets apps automatically publish details about what users are doing, is a fire hose of mostly worthless information. As Slate's Farhad Manjoo argued, automatic sharing crushes our ability to show good taste, burying truly useful information among the noise. And of course, it also leads to embarrassing cases of accidental sharing. At the core of frictionless sharing is a good idea: Telling friends about your life should be easy. But right now, it's too easy, the point that it's a repellant for people who don't always want to be plugged in to a social network.
Don't Grow Complacent
As Facebook gets bigger, it will face the same challenge as does every major tech company: Stay nimble enough to fend off smaller, scrappier competitors. With Instagram, Facebook took the easy way out by acquiring the start-up for $1 billion--a deal that has yet to be approved by regulators. There will be more companies like Instagram in the future, and Facebook can't simply acquire them all.

GAMBIER Premier kiddie-rock musician Justin Roberts brings his Not Ready for Naptime Players to Kenyon College for a free concert today at 2 p.m.
Roberts, a Grammy nominee, will appear at the outdoor South Quad Stage on the Kenyon campus.

Just bumping this bad boy back up to the top of the page for some of the new folks to read.
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right ~ Henry Ford
Michelle Simpson ~2009 Body-for-LIFE Champion 46+ Catagory
I can't agree with you more. Many of us are blown away by the befores and afters of challengers that we forget that people come from different places of fitness and nutrition than us.
Another problem is distorted body image. i know I am big. It never dawned on me how really big I am. I know I will be devastated if I end up with mediocre results, but i keep telling myself results are results, and deep down in my heart I know that one or two challenges will not cut it. But I am still trying to out-exercise what I know will inevitably happen.
Thanks for the post. You are still my personal hero :o)
Courage isn't lack of fear. It's our ability to carry on despite our fear
Your friends most likely have noticed and may not want to say anything because it brings up there own issues regarding weight. Most of my friends notice and comment, one I rarely see says nothing and she had admitted she has really bad self esteem. No one is that clueless, maybe they need encouragement and will eventually get excited and ask for help.
Just a thought. Great Job.
Hi, Im new to this forum, in week 3 of BFL, so pleased when i read the post. I have been feeling a bit low and think wanted to see instant results because im working so hard. The pictures are very motivating though.
How often do you measure/weigh yourselves?? xkx
I didn't find the scales useful on this program. I use measurements. I measured myself when i started and will measure myself again on week 6 and week 12.
I agree with Ruby4444,
Use a tape measure. I personally have my body fat tested also. I haven't checked it in 2 weeks. I had a feverish kid so I will be checking at week 6. I am down from 27% to 24.3% the scale tells a sadder story. So put it on a high shelf and let your clothes and tape measure be your guide. I am taking that energy and putting it into food planning and not scale reading. It is also normal to be "down" and try to self sabatoge as you get close to your goal. Remind yourself what drove you in week one and recapture that and continue through to a better day. Even the best athletes have bad days and self doubt, they have coaches to talk them up. You have to be your own coach!!!! Good Luck!!
On the same topic, kimchic, I have a friend of mine who is 5"5 and weighs 223 pounds . Numbers don't lie? His body fat is below 14% and his waist line is 32 inches. Building muscle will increase your weight but you will be in great shape regardless.
Thanks guys, thats really encouraging. Off for my upper body workout today with a new motivation boost. Glad I have joined this forum. Only thing Im having difficulty with is creating a new discussion topic, how do I do this?? xkx
Yep, I agree, the first challexnge was that, a challenge!!! LOTS of changes for me, from eating right, to exercising etc etc. This is a person that hasnt ever eaten vaggies!! Well about 6 months later (almost 2 challenges down) it's become my new life. This is my FOR LIFE!!! Sure,I'll still have days, but I know how to handle them now!!! I dont get discouraged if I 'mess up'..I didnt mess up, I just wasnt productive, and need to change that!! Have lost almost 60 lbs, and would love to get about 40 more off. I still need to work on super clean eating and and get better strength training done!! But still, dropping the weight, the blood pressure, the blood sugar all of that is worth TONS to me. The muscle tone will come. I just love being able to DO STUFF and not be worn out 30 seconds after starting!!! Thank you BFL!!! And thank you to those that post here!!!!! You've been great!!!
On top of the discussions, at the top of the page you will find this in bold:

California residents only: "Proposition 65" WARNING
Austrian crystals: These are known for their excellent reflective quality and prismatic brilliance. This man-made crystal is created using natural minerals and quartz sand, which are then heated and slowly cooled using a process similar to that of creating hand-blown glass. This process creates an end product that can be fashioned into a beautiful crystal.
A special machine is used to create a highly faceted crystal. The crystals are cut in various directions, which allows for excellent light refraction, exceptional brilliance and unsurpassed color quality at an affordable price.
Today Swarovski® is one of the largest suppliers of high-end crystals. In the late 1800s, Daniel Swarovski invented a machine to cut crystal with extreme precision. He patented his technique and to this day, only select Swarovski family members and employees have unrestricted access to the production facility that creates these crystals. They are used to decorate everything from stilettos and sculptures, to chandeliers, jewelry and clothing.

KeeperRL and OpenIG
Two interesting projects I recently came across:
1. KeeperRL:
Description from the author:
KeeperRL is a Dungeon Keeper and Dwarf Fortress inspired dungeon simulator built on top of roguelike mechanics. My vision is that you are a Sauron-like character, searching for ultimate knowledge of destruction. What makes the game different from other RTS is that you can, and are encouraged to, control your main character and lead your minions to an open war. The characters use equipment, scrolls, potions, spells, and other things you would expect in a roguelike. Combat is turn-based and very tactical. The whole world is procedurally generated, and there is adventure mode too.See a video of the (still in ASCII graphics) action here and the GPL licensed code here. Latest development release can be downloaded here (Win&Linux).
2. OpenIG:
A real classic is being reimplemented as OpenIG (follow the development blog here). Interestingly the original developers have granted the rights to all the game's data to be freely (as in beer I assume) distributed with the new Java based engine.
Time to jump into the 4X games again ;)
